Construction of Camrose City Hall is on time and remains on budget. In the coming days, glass will be installed on the front of the building. All mechanical components are now on-site and in various phases of installation. The roof is completely finished. Most of the inside concrete has been polished to perfection. The massive structure, which has changed the landscape of the downtown core, will be substantially complete in January and the building will be completely occupied and accessible to the public in March, 2015. The decision in 2012 for the new 38,750 square foot building came after many years of council deliberation and intense discussion. The building features four storeys, with three floors completed. The top floor will accommodate future staff growth in the areas of Customer Service, Administration, Finance, Corporate Services and Infrastructure and Planning. For the time being, use of the fourth floor will be limited to storage of documents. The design and plan features 100 off-street parking stalls, some of which are underground. Total cost of the building is $18.2 million.

Furnace heating duct likely fire culprit By Murray Green
A Camrose Fire Department investigation into the blaze that leveled the Sofa’sBeds and GE Appliances store on Oct. 11 has determined that a failure in the ceiling furnace venting duct system is the probable cause. “There are a number of factors that could create a breakdown in the system. That is undetermined. The point of origin was in the overhead furnace in the centre to west side of the building in the wearhouse area,” explained fire chief Peter Krich. “It’s one of those unanswered questions whether it was a malfunction in the device that shuts off the furnace and it kept heating to the point it over heated until it started a fire, or it could have been a failure in the chimney system that goes through the roofing to the point that the heat was penetrating the roofing decking material and over time, because of the age of the building, the dryness of the area and heating over time might have pushed it to the point of ignition. It is all related to the ceiling furnace area.” The fire is still under investigation, but the device itself is being looking at in the initial area. The Camrose Fire Department received the call at 4 a.m. but by the time firefighters arrived, the building was fully engulfed, with flames shooting 30 feet into the air and infringing onto the Professional Building across the street to the east and on the roof and into the centre of Malories Cakes and Catering next door to the west. The firefighters were able to contain the blaze and there were no reported injuries. “With the numbers we are working on right now, the damage is about $3.5 million. That includes the heat damage to the windows and smoke damage to the side of the Professional Building,” said chief Krich. “We haven’t heard back from the adjusters of the Malories Cakes and Catering building yet. We are not sure of the status whether it can be repaired, or has to be taken down as well.” The Professional Building took the brunt of extreme heat on the west side and the windows will need replacing. The building didn’t have any

structural damage. The side of the building also received extensive smoke damage, but it can be cleaned, according to the reports to the fire department. “All 28 volunteer members of this fire department that responded went above and beyond their abilities.
When push comes to shove these firefighters got onto a scene of that magnitude and shined by doing what they are trained to do. I have to commend them,” said the chief. “We were on scene for more than eight hours. Then a short time later we were called out to a house struc-
tural fire. I can’t say enough about their dedication.” The building that housed the bakery is owned by Paul Gillis and Malories was a renter. The fire jumped across to the roof of the building housing Malories and came down into the kitchen area and
destroyed the centre of the business. “We don’t know the extent of the damage yet. I’m estimating the equipment to be $25,000 to $30,000, but we are waiting to hear back from the adjuster to know if the stove can be salvaged, or it is a total loss,” said Rebecca Bridger, who owns the business with Marlene Edwards and Val Meyer. “We have smoke and water damage to the second kitchen and in the seating area. It was definitely more damage than it first looked from the front window.” The business ladies are not giving up the business after three successful years. “We are looking at the former Business IQ building located north of city hall as an option to put our business and if the stove can be salvaged, we could be open as soon as Dec. 1. If we have to order a new stove from the United States it might take a little longer,” Bridger said. “It would be nice to be back in business before Christmas to help with the holiday needs of our customers.” Malories Cakes and Catering was nominated for the small business of the year award. The winner will be announced on Thursday, October 23. “We have had excitement and heartache in the last few weeks,” said Bridger.
Lions Swans and Roses Club sells wood business By Murray Green
Selling wood for campfires proved to be a valuable service in the community for the Swans and Roses Lions Club. The Lions doubled their success in each of the four years they operated the splitting and bagging wood business. “The business grew to the point we couldn’t handle
it anymore. We had four full time people running it as volunteers,” explained Gary Cunningham of the Lions. “At first we started the business as a fundraiser for our new club. Our intention was to sell it eventually, so it worked out very well for us.” Wesroc took over the business on Oct. 1 and members of the Lions Club
stayed on a few weeks to make the transition smooth. Last year, the Lions donated $13,000 to the community. “Most of that money came from the wood sales,” said Cunningham. “Now we are known in the community and we are moving on to other projects and fundraisers.” The club will be selling
fruit and nut trays before Christmas. “In the four years we not only paid off all of our equipment, but we were making money to be turned back into the community through donations to charities and local organizations, such as the (NeighborAid Center) food bank,” he added. Cunningham said that
Wesroc is planning to have community groups volunteer labour in exchange for a donation, a practice that kept the Lions Club on solid ground. “There were several of us doing a lot of work and we are supposed to be retired,” said Cunningham. “Now we can move on to other fundraising ideas.”

Become an active Advocate for Health Care in your Community!
Taking care of local expectant families has been my passion for many years. My career began as a Doula more than 15 years ago, even before I had my own children. I then became a Labour and Delivery Nurse. It was during that time, 10 years ago, that my first daughter was born. I have always believed in, promoted and supported natural childbirth, and having her was the perfect opportunity to use what I knew to have the most natural birth I could. It was a bit of an experiment, I have to admit, because I didn’t really know what was coming. It was easily one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. She was born in a pool of water, quiet and dim, with a midwife present. I felt relaxed and capable, somewhat apprehensive but, eventually, incredibly fulfilled. Jen Willes, The Baby Lady BScN, RN The birth of my second daughter was very similar, but quicker and more intense. I know that my belief in what my body could do, and the knowledge that I had, served me very well. More recently, I have managed a prenatal/postpartum clinic, and have been very privileged to be part of the education and support of many mommies and daddies both before and after their babies were born. Through it all, I have always believed that birth is a natural process and when women are calm, educated and well supported, we do this very well. I think, as new parents, we need more help, more resources and more knowledge. If you know what to expect, you have less fear – and with knowledge comes a sense of mastery that all parents deserve to feel. My goal as a nurse is to help you and your family bring your baby into the world in the most calm and peaceful way possible, be your advocate, support you as you breastfeed, teach you to care for your newborn or help you install a car seat. Whether you are preparing to have your baby or are at home struggling with breastfeeding, I am here to help you, even on short notice.

CFCW news broadcaster Dale Smith toasted the end of his 47 and one half year career in the radio business with CFCW program director Jackie Rae Greening, Pete Hicks and other Camrose staff after Smith’s final newscast at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 17. Smith started his career at CFCW as a disc jockey before moving into the news department with the likes of Rich Sims and Mike Goetze. He is looking forward to not having to get up at ten minutes to three every morning.
Rehearsals well underway for Wizard of Oz By Dan Jensen
AboutTime Productions’ theatre production class has started rehearsals for its spring of 2015 production of Wizard of Oz. “We had auditions for the 32 parts at the Camrose United Church Sept. 1 and 2 and are now getting together twice a week, something we will continue to do until the end of March,” said AboutTime Productions artistic director Cathie Johnson. The show will follow the same storyline as the MGM movie which, in addition to a cast that includes Dorothy, Scarecrow, the tin man and the cowardly lion, has ruby red slippers and flying monkeys. “It is different than the original version that we did in 2005,” said Johnson. “The original version followed the book a lot closer and the rights (to perform it) were much less expensive.” Wizard of Oz will be staged in the brand new Camrose Performing Arts Centre, starting with two shows on a Thursday, a single show on Friday, two shows on Saturday (one of which will be a dinner theatre) and a single show on Sunday. The dinner theatre on Saturday will include members of the original AboutTime Productions Wizard of Oz cast. “I’ve been in contact with most of them and am still trying to get in touch with the rest,” said Johnson. “I’m asking them to send pictures so we can see what
AboutTime Productions promoted the upcoming production of the Wizard of Oz at this year’s parade.
they were like then and what they are doing now.” AboutTime Productions’ Beyata Hackborn will be working closely with the performing arts centre’s professional set designer Stacey Beach and with Nick Beach, who will be assisting with the lighting for the show. “We are going to try and go as big and as professional
as we can with this show because it is our tenth year and first show in the new theatre,” said Johnson. The new theatre will provide the opportunity for AboutTime Productions to try things it has never done before. The fact that it is a multi-set venue with stage wings and a fly tower means the backgrounds will be able
to be changed according to the play’s scenes. “At the United Church and the Bailey Theatre, where we have performed until now, we have been restricted to single sets,” said Johnson. “At the new CPAC, because we have wings and a full fly system we can use multi sets. We will be able to have different ones for Kansas, the Emerald City, the forest, the poppy fields.” AboutTime Productions’ theatre production class has experienced huge growth since its earliest days, going from one play with a few children to having sixty to ninety youth show up for every audition. “It’s not just about helping the kids put a play together and have fun,” said Johnson. “We teach stage etiquette, as well as the skills are required to build ensembles, and help to build their confidence. We also have professionals come in and work with them on their improvisations or proper breathing. We are teaching you from the moment you walk through the doors.” The rules for attendance are the same as they would be for any professional theatre company. “If you have too many absences we have to ask you to leave because we have so few hours to put a show together,” said Johnson. “We expect the same thing from our youngest performer as we do from our oldest. Just because you are eight years old does not mean that you can come
late. You learn to come early. We have a wonderful saying that I love: if you are 15 minutes early you are on time, if you are on time you are late and if you are late you are fired.” AboutTime Productions’ theatre buddies program pairs new students with returning ones. “The returning students are able to help the new ones by providing tips on memorization and answering any questions that they have,” said Johnson. “A lot of the kids we have paired together have remained friends.” Johnson said the kids who do not have a strong background in theatre but show a strong willingness to learn have as much of a chance of landing a spot on the cast of an AboutTime Productions play as someone who has a lot of talent but comes in with a poor attitude. “I want to work with attitude and I will train you to do what I want you to do. I want you to have a great attitude and a willingness to learn. That is the most important thing at AboutTime is to make sure you want to do something.” Johnson has found that a cast size of 30 to 35 is just about perfect for any AboutTime production. “We rehearse at the United Church, which is awesome, but if you have too many kids around we can’t do the things that we need to do,” she said. “It gets too cluttered then nobody is learning what they need to learn.”

Residents urged to get immunized before flu season
It happens every year: influenza arrives in Alberta. The good news is, influenza vaccine gets here first. All Camrosians are encouraged to take advantage and get immunized before influenza arrives. Caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory system, influenza can be a serious illness and is easily spread from person to person. Although some individuals (pregnant women, seniors, children, and individuals with underlying health conditions or compromised immune systems) are at greater risk for severe complications, without immunization this fall. Each year, influenza vaccine is developed to protect us against the strains of virus likely to circulate in our community. When you get immunized, your immune system is prompted to respond and produce antibodies that will arm you against the influenza viruses if – and more likely, when – you are exposed to them again, throughout the season. Without immunization, your body will not have the opportunity to build its immunity – or armour – against influenza, before being exposed. Alberta’s annual influenza immunization program began Oct. 20, offering influenza vaccine, free of charge, to all Albertans six months of age and older. Be it through dozens of drop-in Alberta Health Services’ influenza immunization clinics or through your local pharmacist or physician, this season, get protected, not infected. For more info, including local clinic schedules, visit www.albertahealthservices.ca/influenza, or call Health Link Alberta at 1-866-408-5465.

BRCF receives $30,000 from Alberta Culture for Reading University By Dan Jensen
Alberta Culture has granted $30,000 from its Community Initiatives Program to the Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) to assist with the cost of operating the Reading University program in 2015. We t a s k i w i n - C a m rose MLA Verlyn Olson said it was easy for both himself and Battle RiverWainwright MLA Doug Griffiths to support the BRCF application. “The (Reading University) program takes a different approach to education that goes outside the normal school setting,” said MLA Olson before presenting a cheque to BRCF board chair Blain Fowler Oct. 1. “It shows that there is not a single approach to doing things.” The grant is the largest the program has ever received in its six year history. “We have endowments that have been established to benefit early childhood literacy programs contribute about $30,000, but that amount is not guaranteed because it is based on interest earned on endowments, which last year was around 14 per cent,” said Fowler. “This is what we call a flow-through grant that is totally dedicated to this project.” Reading University is a four-week summer program offered at the University of Alberta,
Augustana Campus and Killam School as a way of broadening the basic literacy skills of students from Grades 2 and 3 by increasing engagement in learning through word games, live theatre and field trips that are fun, interesting and educationally sound. The program is funded 50/50 by the BRCF and Battle River School Division, each of which budgets $60,000 towards the annual cost. “The foundation identified the need for addressing childhood literacy then approached the school division to run it and Augustana to provide the (Camrose) space,” said Fowler. “The school division is responsible for designing the educational program, recruiting and paying the staff, providing transportation and inviting the appropriate children to participate.” The Reading University program has been incredibly successful at increasing literacy skills, allowing some students to increase their reading and comprehension skills by two full grade levels. “We had 48 graduates in the program this summer and all were better readers than they were when they came in,” said Fowler. “They went away knowing that they could read just as well as any of their peers. They were able to carry their heads high and think of what they could do, rath-

er than the things they couldn’t.” The Reading University Program was initiated to stop children from falling through the cracks in their schooling and provide them with basic important skills they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. “We have found that
Grade 3 is the point at which kids need to be up to standard for reading,” said Fowler. “From Grades 1 to 3 they learn by having people show them things and are learning to read, but after that they are reading to learn. If their reading is not up to standard by Grade 3 they start falling behind in
their subjects and by the time they get to Grade 5 they are so far behind that catching up is virtually impossible.” BRSD sees Reading University as a program that is instrumental in being able to have all students reading at their programmed level by the end of Grade 3.

Networking is an art that needs to be mastered The old adage of “it’s not what you know, but who you know” still holds true today. While education, skills and experience may help you land a new job, it’s often the contacts you have that can open up doors you never dreamed possible. The term “networking” has been given to this technique of expanding upon your contacts to improve your chances of career success. Much as a computer network links the machines within an office, company or people around the world, so does an effective career network.
While networking is an important skill to learn, it doesn’t come as easily to some people as others who have a natural affinity for socializing. That’s why the experts offer these important tips for expanding your network and techniques. 1. Stay in touch with as many people as you can that you respect or potentially have reached in your particular career field. These could be former work associates, friends, professors or public officials. Maintain these relationships even if the people cannot help you immediately. You want to be
friendly all the time, not just when you are desperate for “a lead.” 2. Hone your skills. You may want to take a class in public speaking, body language or even writing. The more techniques you can master, the easier networking will be. 3. Talk to as many people as you can. Use opportunities (within reason) on an airplane, while waiting at the supermarket checkout or at any social events to chat with people. The more people you know (and who know about you) the larger your network will grow. You can even network online through profes-
sional organizations or clubs tied into your career field. 4. Practice presenting a verbal resume. You want the people with whom you network to learn about you in a clear and succinct manner. Rehearse what you want to say about yourself and fine-tune what works and what doesn’t. 5. Be a good listener. Networking is a subtle game of give and take. Listen earnestly to what others say to you and take an interest in the conversations you have. 6. Become comfortable with giving out business cards or resumes. Always
have some sort of contact information or a synopsis of what makes you on hand to give out. You don’t want to be scribbling on the backs of napkins or envelopes. 7. Make your own news to get noticed. Generate your own publicity. If your work is in caregiving, for example, be the person who gets on the news for organizing a special event geared around a nursing home in your community. 8. Follow any and all leads, no matter how trivial they may seem at the time. You never know when a piece of information could turn into your big break.
BRCF to honour Margaret and Bob Prestage By Dan Jensen
The Battle River Community Foundation will pay tribute to Margaret and Bob Prestage at a Community Builders’ Dinner in Camrose on Friday, Oct. 24. Bob and Margaret required a lot of convincing before agreeing accept the recognition. “We don’t really feel we have done a lot,” said Bob. “We didn’t think we were worthy.” Margaret said she was the one who was most hesitant. “I don’t like being in the limelight,” she said. BRCF director Karin Naslund said she has enjoyed working with Bob and Margaret on the dinner that will create a new endowment in their names. “They really want to make this event this year another huge success.” The Prestages have contributed to the betterment of Camrose and area through their involvement in various boards and committees since moving to the area more than 50 years ago. “There aren’t enough hours in the day to encompass their accomplishments and work,” said former CRE general manager Wynn McLean in 2009. “They are people who pass through your life and leave lasting impressions. They volunteer for the things they believe in, do their jobs to the fullest, and encourage others to do their best. “They are respected by people around the world.” Bob and Margaret, who have been married for 56 years, never miss the opportunity to promote their business, Wicklow Angus Exporting, and leave a lasting impression. They have shipped cattle to Japan, Korea, New Zealand, United States, Russia, Kazakhstan, Argentina, South Africa, Guatemala, United Kingdom, Poland, China, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Brazil, China, Australia, Sweden, Denmark, and Ireland. Bob was inducted to the Alberta Angus Hall of Fame under the Breed Builders category in 2007.
Margaret and Bob Prestage will be honoured by Battle River Community Foundation Oct. 24.
He was also inducted into the Camrose Agricultural Wall of Honour and the Camrose Lions Club Sports Hall of Fame, and received the Jim Lewthwaite Memorial Trophy, presented at the Agribition in 2000 for his contributions to international markets. He received the Northlands Park Ambassador Award in 2005 for his contributions to Northlands, Edmonton, and northern Alberta. In 2005, he received from Governor General Normie Kwong the Alberta Centennial Medal – struck to celebrate Alberta’s 100 anniversary as a province. The medal paid tribute to Albertans whose achievements have benefited their fellow citizens, their community and their province. In 2009, he was named Ambassador of the Year at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce small business week gala. Three years later, in 2012, at the Alberta Beef Producers’ annual meeting, he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Bob is quick to credit Margaret for any of thee success he has enjoyed. “I would not be able to
do any of this if not for her,” he said. “She and the other members of the family kept the fires burning all the time I was away. “I get a lot of credit and it is not fair because the family has a lot to do with it.” Margaret served many years as secretary of the Camrose Recreation Association and member of the Regional Recreation Board, and spent 18 years with the Camrose Figure Skating Club, holding every position except treasurer. “I was involved in every aspect of figure skating, including running test days and carnivals,” she said. Margaret also coached girls’ fastball for ten years. Prior to that she played women’s fastball for 20 years. Margaret taught Sunday School at the United Church in Camrose and served on the church board. She has volunteered at the hospital and Bethany, and this fall will assume the position of chair of Friends of Rosehaven. When she isn’t busy with other commitments she is helping a group of ladies make
charity quilts for Compassion House in Edmonton. Bob served as Reeve of Camrose County for six years, president of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce, director and chairman of Alberta Lotteries, the Canadian National Jr. Heifer Show, the Canadian Western Agribition, Camrose County Fair, and International committee of Farmfair in Edmonton. He was involved in minor sports as an umpire and referee, and in 1993 ran unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate in the provincial election, mostly because the then Don Getty government, he felt, was overspending and wasteful. After receiving a BSA from Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, Ontario, in 1959, Bob came to Camrose with Margaret in 1963 to serve as manager of Byers Flour Mills. In 1970, he joined Canadian Beef Sires as manager with responsibility for the progeny test program of beef breeds, operated as a joint project by Western Ontario Breeders, Eastern Breeders, United Breeders and Western Breeders. That led to his appointment, a few years later, as manager of Western Breeders at Balzac, and White City, Saskatchewan, a position which put him in charge of semen distribution in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Between 1976 and 1981 he acted as fieldman for the Alberta Angus Association and developed his world-wide beef exporting trade. The start of Wicklow Angus came in 1977 when Bob was asked by Bob Shore, the operator of a successful auction market at Glanworth, Ontario, if he could find 100 Angus heifers for international shipment. “When I told him I thought I could, he increased his request to 300 and then 600 head,” said Bob. “It was the start of a long and successful export business for Margaret and I that continues to today.” The money raised for the Bob and Margaret Prestage endowment fund at the Community Builders’ Dinner will be used to support 4-H and
sports related programs in Camrose County. “The youth are the backbone for what our country is going to be,” said Bob. “Youth who are involved in 4-H and sports receive tremendous grounding that allows them to be good citizens.” The Battle River Community Foundation created Community Builders’ Dinners to honour and celebrate local heroes who have given elbow grease, time and commitment towards, and shown leadership in making their community a better place in which to live. Joe and Phyllis Voytechek were honoured at the first dinner in 2004, followed by Bill and Berdie Fowler in 2005, Red and Fran Elliott in 2006, Arlene and Alver Person in 2007, Bitz O’Riordan in 2008, Bernie and Jeanette Boser in 2009, Dave and Gail Stolee in 2010, Norman and Betty Mayer in 2011, Alan and Valerie Fielding in 2012 and Kevin and Ally Gurr in 2013. “We offer accolades and we have some fun at their expense but our board truly understands that without these people the Battle River area would not flourish,” said Naslund. “Their long standing involvement has helped mould their community.” The Battle River Community Foundation has sold out every year for the last 10 years. “It gives the Foundation the opportunity to inform people of the work it does so sometime in the future, when the time is right, they think of us,” said Naslund. “It is also a way for the Foundation to set up a fund in the name of the honourees – a legacy that keeps on giving.” Bob and Margaret had three children. Colleen, who just retired from teaching after 30 years and her husband, Jim Johnstone live in Tiny, Ontario, where they have two children, Takara and Colton. Wayne and Donna Prestage live here in Camrose and have three daughters, Janel, Chelsey and Taryn. Wayne works in the oil business. Kelly and Dale McIsaac live in Leduc and have two children, Kenzie and Brett. Kelly works for the Leduc Catholic School Board.

Gusul helping India communities through theatre By Dan Jensen
Former Camrose resident Matthew Gusul is using drama and theatre to help make a difference in India. Matthew, or “Gus” as he is more commonly known, has been working for the last two years on the establishment of International Theatre Company in the Tamaraikulam Elders’ Village in Tamil Nadu, India. “I am acting as a consultant for the company as part of my PhD work at the University of Victoria,” said Matthew, who became involved in theatre at St. Pat’s Elementary School and Camrose Composite High School, and graduated from Augustana University College in 2004 with a degree in theatre and development studies. “I helped them (the company) hire the people who will be working as the directors and develop a tour that will start in November.” Matthew did some preliminary theatre work just to make sure theatre works well in the area and the people responded quite well. “There was one man who had lived his entire life more or less in the streets as a beggar who, after receiving some acting skills, was able to integrate himself into the community’s fabric,” he said. “He is now starting to take on some leadership roles. Up until I came he hadn’t done any theatre work.” The theatre company is using the same techniques that have been used by GeriActors and Friends, an intergenerational theatre company supported by the Drama Department and Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta, that produces original plays based on real life stories and issues and offers outreach theatre programs for seniors. GeriActors and Friends (the friends are undergraduate and graduate students studying intergenerational theatre) believes in the principle of ‘creative aging’, in which seniors become engaged in artistic activity at a level of comparative mastery which then leads to effective artistic expression, a developing sense of community, social and civic engagement, and an overall increase in health and well-being. Many of the seniors who are involved in the Intergenerational Theatre Company were alive at the time of famed Indian leaders SriAurobindo, Gandhi and Nehru, and they remember when India first gained independence in 1947.
Matthew Gusul is a consultant for International Theatre Company.
Theatre has allowed a former beggar to integrate himself into the fabric of the community.
‘These seniors are living history,” said Matthew. “Now the youth have the chance to re-live it through the stories of their elders.” Matthew believes the Intergenerational Theatre Company will offer
a platform for elders and young people to join together in solidarity to express themselves. “Charities like HelpAge India (the organizational home for the theatre company) help them with
food, shelter and places to live but after they have all the basic necessities met they find they don’t have much of a role in their community,” he said. “They also have a hard time integrating themselves and becoming friends. You can put two people in a room together but they might not have anything in common.” The idea of meeting the needs of seniors is still relatively new in India, where, in 1947, the life expectancy was somewhere around 42 years of age. “Back then very few people lived to become seniors,” said Matthew. “Today the life expectancy in India is 64, so suddenly they have this new demographic of people that they have never really had before and there are minimal ways for them to contribute.” Matthew found it important during his last visit to the elders’ village to establish a link between the theatre company and the Isha Foundation, a charity which looks to get young Indian people proper education so they can obtain jobs in the future. “Probably one of the biggest problems in this area is just simply finding work,” he said. “The biggest hurdle to most Indian people to finding work is being able to speak English.” Matthew is currently seeking donations to assist the theatre company with the purchase of materials for costumes, masks and makeup for its first performance and tour and pay the directors for their first two months of work. “Between myself and HelpAge India employees, we have organized several performances that will fund the company into the future,” said Matthew. “We only need help with the first two months. Once we have this start-up funding the company will be able to raise its own money.” The Tamaraikulam Elders’ Village rose up from the tsunami relief effort post-2006. “It is in an area that was the most devastated by the tsunami,” said Matthew. “It is now at the point where you wouldn’t know anything had happened. All of the post-tsunami development work is now complete and life is back to normal.” Anyone wishing to donate to this Intergenerational Theatre Company can visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/indidan-intergenerational-theatre-company/x/8226212, or email Matthew at gus@uvic.ca.

Cargill launches food security initiatives Cargill is helping raise awareness amongst employees and their communities about the realities of lingering food insecurity in Canada. Ensuring everyone has access to safe and nutritious food has been a long-time goal of Cargill, but for too long the perception has remained that Canada is a food-secure country. The reality is that 2.7 million Canadians experience food insecurity at some point during the year. One in eight Canadian families struggle to put food on the table, and 833,098 Canadians used food banks in 2013, with 36.4 per cent of those users being children. “We’ve established strong partnerships across Canada and continue to seek out new ones with organizations that share our goal of a more food-secure world,” said Jeff Vassart, president, Cargill Limited. “It’s clear to us that there is a very real need in Canada, and we need to start with our own communities first. Our employees have really been the ones owning this initiative by supporting causes that most directly surround them.” Cargill employees are supporting over 40 agencies in every province where it has operations. Cargill says its initial goal for this year is to heighten internal awareness. “Seeing is believing,” added Vassart. “Once our employees better understand the harsh challenges that families face when they don’t have enough food to support themselves or their families they’ll have better insight as to how we can better work collaboratively to start seeing change happen.” By next year, Cargill aims to double the number of Cargill locations participating, providing organizations with more volunteer resources, fully stocking shelves in local food banks, seeing more dollars go into food security programming, and putting more food on the table for Canadian families.

Vladimir Putin’s Ukrainian problem Ever since 1991, successive Russian governments have made attempts to lure the post-Soviet states back into the fold. They have not had many takers. To put it bluntly, apart from oil, gas, and the occasional Olympics, Russia does not have much to offer, and most of the former subjects do not have fond memories of either the USSR or of the Russian Empire. Two dictators ruling former Soviet republics have joined Russian president Vladimir Putin’s Eurasian Economic Union, billed as the better and brighter alternative to the European Union. A couple more have expressed polite interest. However, far worse for the outcome of Putin’s project, some of the others indicated they might prefer closer association, or even membership, in the EU. The most significant of these is Ukraine. Russians and Ukrainians are closely related. They share much of their history, religion, and culture. Their languages are very similar. Yet most Ukrainians regard themselves as a distinct national group, separate from all others, including Russians. However, most Russians have trouble accepting Ukrainians as being foreign in the same sense as, say Estonians or Poles. Since it became independent in 1991, Ukraine has been governed very badly. Privatization of state enterprises happened in a similar manner as in Russia. But, unlike Russia, no
Second Thought
Peter Mirejovsky, History, Augustana Campus, University of Alberta
Ukrainian government was able to bring its oligarchs to heel. Successive governments have been corrupt and incompetent. That sorry state of affairs presented Putin with an opportunity that was too good to ignore. In 2013, Ukraine had negotiated a treaty of association with the EU, but just before the treaty was supposed to be signed, Putin made an offer to the then president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich: in exchange for Ukrainian membership in the Russian-sponsored Eurasian Economic Union, Russia would help the government of Ukraine handle its massive debt, and provide the country with natural gas - at a very generous discount. Yanukovich accepted the
offer thereby precipitating a major political crisis in the Ukraine. Many Ukrainians were unhappy with Yanukovich’s decision to choose closer relations with Russia over the association with Europe. In November 2013, they began to demonstrate in the centre of Kyiv, and by February 2014, the demonstrations resulted in the ousting of Yanukovich’s government. The new Ukrainian government is again seeking closer ties with the EU, and even with NATO. This turn of events upset and offended Putin. He calls the new regime in Ukraine illegitimate and fascist, a line repeated faithfully by the Russian media. While there were some unsavoury groups among the demonstrators in Kyiv, the new government does not deserves that label. However, given the steady drumbeat of official propaganda in the Russian media, most Russians and many Russian-speaking Ukrainians find the accusations credible. More importantly, the label provides Putin with an excuse to punish the country that he believes failed to appreciate his generosity. Since the spring of 2014, Putin has been trying to destabilize Ukraine, capitalizing on its economic weakness, and existing political and ethnic divisions. In March 2014, Russia formally annexed the Crimea – apparently in response to the fervent appeals of people claiming to speak on behalf of the mostly Russian-speak-
ing inhabitants of the peninsula. Russian troops, whose presence Russia first denied and then acknowledged, made sure the government of Ukraine could not do much about it. It’s doubtful that Putin wants start a war. He merely wants the West to fear him a bit more; to take him and his country more seriously. Undoubtedly he is also trying to intimidate the former Soviet republics and persuade them that it is in their interest to forget about the Wicked West and draw closer to Mother Russia. With regard to Ukraine, however, he may want to annex at least a portion of the largely Russian-speaking areas in the east of the country. Without Ukraine, Russia is a big country – indeed, the biggest in the world, but with Ukraine, she might, once again, consider itself to be the other global superpower. The decisive factor in all this may be the world prices for oil and gas, which are abundant in Russia. If the price for a barrel of oil remains over $100, Putin will be riding high. But should that price drop significantly – as it appears to be doing in the last little while - Putin, and Russia may have to revise their ambitious plans. Ukraine’s prospects are not much better: opening its market to the EU may devastate the country’s battered economy. A deal with Russia, however, will almost certainly cost Ukraine its independence.

Zietarsky named Centra Cam back on solid Volunteer of Year ground after funding scare By Dan Jensen
Terry Vickers, left, presented a Volunteer of the Year award to Dan Zietarsky at Centra Cam Vocational Training Association’s annual general meeting Sept. 17. By Dan Jensen
Dan Zietarsky has been named Centra Cam Vocational Training Association Volunteer of the Year for 2014. "It has indeed been an honour and a pleasure to have Dan volunteer at our recycling facility," said Terry Vickers, who presented the award at the Centra Cam annual meeting Sept. 17. Zietarsky started volunteering at the recycle depot in September, 2010, and quickly proved he could do any task. "He started out sorting our numbers one to seven coloured plastics," said Vickers. "He reasoned that the public needed to be educated so he volunteered to meet and greet the public as they came into the yard. Armed with a trusty clipboard with sheets of what we accept and what we don't, he cheerfully went about his business of greeting customers, asking if they had any questions or concerns. He offered to help the elderly sort and put away their items for them. He also offered the same service to all of the people who came into the yard." Zietarsky sorted the newspaper, glossy, office paper and mixed paper cages before moving on to the shredder. "He put his nose to the grindstone and the paper flew," said Vickers. "He did a great job and we had trouble trying to keep enough paper for him to shred." Zietarsky offered up several days of his time to sell 50/50 tickets with his long-time friend, Dennis Umrysh. Vickers expressed appreciation to Zietarsky on behalf of the entire Centra Cam organization. "I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive the volunteer of the year award," he said.
What a difference a few months can make! Centra Cam Vocational Training Association is back on what appears to be solid ground a year and a half after questioning whether or not it would be forced to reduce programs and services. An audited report presented at the Cam Vocational Training Association annual meeting Sept. 17 noted that Centra Cam received an increase in funding of approximately $350,000 in 2014 from the Persons with Developmental Disabilities PDD program. “The government did an about face,” said Centra Cam board president Dave Chamberlain. Centra Cam director Ken Ozment noted the current board has been working hard to align programs to PDD’s new expectations. “We have restructured within the staffing body as well as looked at each and every individual we serve to see what program best suits their needs,” said Ozment. “We are moving along with this and have most of the programs on track.” The new PDD expectations also required that Centra Cam renovate and move offices in the main facility. “We have a number of projects on the go, which we hope to complete in the next year,” said director Gord Graham. “We are working on some renovations at the projects building and are starting the process of looking adding to it some new office space.” Director Krista Davis noted that the programming department has finalized many projects that needed to be addressed due to the changes in PDD and has seen many new individuals begin services. “We have 95 clients who are involved in programs. Thirty three clients are involved in regular paid employment, and we have numerous odd jobs that are
completed during the year involving 20 clients.” Ninety clients are involved with services offered through the Community Options Volunteer Experiences program (COVE), the Emergency Clothing and Furniture Depot, and the Centra Cam Outlet Store. Community Options participates in 15 regular placements in the community, spanning a wide variety of activities and interest. Placements involve working with seniors, children, the health unit, churches and the Camrose police. Seven of the clients involved with regular paid employment receive job coaching support to various degrees. Three new jobs have been obtained in the community in the past year and six have been maintained with job coaching support. Centra Cam’s Emergency Clothing and Furniture depot had 1,817 referrals in 2013-14 from 70 referring agencies, including the Camrose Women’s Shelter, Alberta Works and Human Services, NeighborAid, Camrose Open Door and Camrose churches. The depot’s 2013 Coats for Camrose program handed out over 1,000 pieces of winter wear, including coats, mitts and toques. The 2014 Coats for Camrose program will be held Oct. 15 and 16 at Duggan Mall. The Centra Cam Outlet Store saw an increase in sales of $15,000. “Sales have steadily increased each year,” said an Outlet Store report. “The money generated pays operational expenses at the ECFD and the remaining portion of the profits supports the agency’s operations.” The Centra Cam Bowl-athon made a profit of $18,000, which was used for facility maintenance and upkeep, while the food booth at Jaywalkers’ Jamboree brought in $9,373. The Centra Cam projects department cut 85,340 wedge blocks, 38,104 pipe bunks and 3,053 spacer boards, and sold 294 bungles
of survey stakes and 83 picnic tables. “The largest order was from Evraz,” said a projects department report. “The other mills, Shaw, Bayou and Evraz Regina also placed big orders. Trucking companies made up the majority of the balance with many small orders.” The Centra Cam recycling depot shipped 1,915 bales of cardboard at 550 kg a bale, 425 bales of newsprint, 174 bales of office paper, 25 bales of mixed paper, 26 cages of phone books, 156 bales of coloured plastic, 65 bales of tin, 28 bales of plastic bags and 42,000 metric tons of crushed clear jars. “The recycle board committee put in a great team effort and was able to negotiate an increase in our products pricing with the city to help with our shipping, day to day operations fund, and put us in a better situation financially,” said a recycling report. Centra Cam executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg stressed the importance of maintaining a positive approach when doing planning. “Over the last couple of years there has been lots of planning done. Most of it was done to attempt to have a planned approach to changes in the PDD world. Some of those plans focused very much on the negative effects than the positive outcome that the changes might bring. There is a belief that we all have two wolves within us that fight. One focuses on fear and negativity and one focuses on love and positive outcomes. The one that wins is the one we feed the most.” Skonsberg said it is vital that Centra Cam has a crystal clear understanding of its vision and hold a shared to commitment to reaching it. “By having those two components in hand we lessen the fear and negativity and we work together as a team to get done what needs to be done.”
Take the necessary steps to winterize your home Every year, thousands of homes are damaged and need repair during the winter months. These repairs can be outside such as roofs, windows, doors, etc or inside such as your heating or plumbing systems. And while these things may still occur, BBB has some tips to hopefully prevent damage before it happens. “While the weather is still mild, get your house ready,” says Ron Mycholuk, public relations manager for BBB of central and northern Alberta. “A little time and effort know can help
avoid huge expense later on.” BBB offers the following tips to keep your house safe and warm during the colder months: Furnace checkup and cleaning – clean or replace your furnace filters. Have a professional check the furnace and ensure all the parts are working correctly. Typically, home furnaces reach the end of their useful life around 15 years. Get a chimney checkup – before lighting your first fire of the year, your chimney should be checked and
cleared of any debris such as animals, nests, leaves, etc. Check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors – homeowners should test these devices regularly to make sure they are working and install fresh batteries if needed. Clear gutters and vents – cleaning gutters prevents and removes anything that could cause rainwater or snow melt to clog, freeze and damage your gutters. Ridge vents should be cleared to allow the house to breathe properly and eliminate stagnant inside air. Ensure any
attic windows that could allow hot air to leave and cold air to enter are closed. Do final preparations – test your snow blower to find out if there is a problem sooner rather than later. Prepare your snow removal equipment such as shovels, salt and ice melt beforehand. And don’t forget to drain outside faucets and remove hoses to prevent pipes from freezing. Car checkup – while preparing your home, prepare your car. Make sure you have ice scrapers, blankets and other cold weather gear in your car. Before win-
ter hits, have a mechanic check fluid levels. Do you need windshield wipers? Are heaters and defrosters working? Do your tires need to be replaced? A little preparation goes a long way no matter what situation you find yourself in. But with Canada’s harsh winters, this is even truer. Spend a little time and money now to save yourself stress, and more money later. For more tips or information on companies who can help you winterize your home, visit bbb.org/edmonton.

SCORE! event at Augustana Nov. 4 By Dan Jensen
Augustana students will bring meaning to the old saying “One man’s trash is another’s treasure” when they present the fifth annual SCORE! from 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 4. “SCORE! is essentially a community-wide swap, focused on sharing and redistribution,” said fourth year environmental science student Erin Specht. “People
are invited to drop off their gently used items and then return the next day to ‘score’ items from a giant free store. We also bring in music, do-ityourself teaching booths, a mini farmers’ market, and host an awesome fashion show.” Items for SCORE! be dropped off at the Augustana Forum on Monday, Nov. 3, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. A SCORE! promotional

poster describes the event as a community marketplace of reciprocity. “At SCORE! sharing is the goal and fun is the result. If you have you give, if you need you take. It’s that simple. We transform places of community into a huge free swap of goods, from clothing to kitchenware to furniture to books to everything in between. Then we party with music and friends.” SCORE! shows pride in the Camrose community, from people who donate and the farmers who offer their wares to the students and residents who come looking for whatever they need. Shoppers are encouraged to make cash donations to local charities, including their event’s long-time partner, Sahakarini, which was founded in Camrose in 1979 to develop partnerships for community-level initiatives around the world.

ISIL has established a jihad stretching over a vast territory from which it intends to launch terrorist assaults, not merely against the region, but on a global basis. In the territory ISIL has occupied, it has conducted a campaign of unspeakable atrocities against the most innocent of people; it has tortured and beheaded children; it has raped and sold women into slavery; it has slaughtered minorities; captured prisoners, and innocent civilians whose only crime is being different or thinking differently from ISIL. ISIL has specifically targeted Canada and Canadians, urging supporters to
attack “disbelieving Canadians in any manner,” vowing that we should not feel secure, even in our homes. Our Government is committed to the safety and security of all Canadians. On September 5, Prime Minister Harper announced that members of the Canadian Armed Forces, in a non-combat role, would advise and assist security forces in Iraq battling the terrorists. We will also contribute one air-to-air re-fuelling aircraft, two Aurora surveillance aircraft, 6 CF-18s and the necessary air crews and support personnel. In addition, we are extending the deployment, in a non-combat role, of up to 69 members of the Canadian Armed Forces to continue advising and assisting security forces in Iraq. There will, however, be no ground combat mission, which is explicitly ruled out in the Motion. Canada’s contributions are for a period of up to six months to be followed by a review. On Oct. 3, in the House of Commons Prime Minister Harper said, “Let me assure Canadians that the government is seized with the necessity of avoiding a prolonged quagmire in this part of the world. The actions we
have announced are actions that will be relatively easy to end. Indeed, we and our allies are acting now precisely to avoid a situation that was clearly headed to a wider, protracted and much more dangerous conflict.” The Prime Minister added, “Let me also assure Canadians that the government will continue to be seized with the broader terrorist threats against Canada. We have strengthened laws in this country to deal with the issue of so-called Canadian foreign fighters. We will soon bring forward additional measures to strengthen the ability of our security services to monitor aspiring terrorists to, where possible, prevent their return to Canada or to, where that is not possible, give greater tools to be able to charge and prosecute.” If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca or visit https://www.facebook. com/pages/Kevin-Sorenson /1636915206532795?ref=pr ofile.
Report on the Legislature Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River-Wainwright Government acts to relieve pressure on hospitals
The Alberta government is moving to ease pressure on hospitals by addressing the needs of more than 700 senior or complex needs patients who are waiting in acute care for a continuing care space. In the first phase of the 2014 Continuing Care Capacity Plan, Alberta Health Services will, over the next 12 months, open 464 continuing care spaces that are currently unfunded or unstaffed through the reallocation of existing resources. In the second phase of the plan, government will assist remaining patients waiting in acute care through $60 million in targeted Affordable Supportive Living Initiative (ASLI) funds. As these transitions occur, the system will be better able to open up needed beds in both our acute care and emergency care system. Alberta Health Services will dedicate approximately 20 per cent of newly freed up acute care spaces for exclusive emergency department use. Further actions include a home care capacity review, the exploration of alternative health-care delivery models in continuing care
settings, and further ASLI investments by the Minister of Seniors. “We’re taking concrete steps to relieve pressure on Alberta’s hospitals by considering the flow of the overall system and effecting changes to help those who most need continuing care options – both seniors and those who need more complex care,” said Premier Jim Prentice. “As these transitions occur – and we believe there will be meaningful progress in short order – we will also be better able to open up needed beds in both our acute care and emergency care system.” “We currently have more than 700 acute care spaces – roughly the equivalent of three hospitals – being used by Albertans who are patiently waiting for placement in continuing care,” said Minister of Health Stephen Mandel. “By quickly transitioning these seniors out of hospital and making necessary investments in home care and continuing care, we can provide a better quality of life for our seniors and ease pressure on provincial hospitals.” “We know there is a direct relation between having safe, stable housing and a senior’s overall wellbeing,” said Minister of Seniors Jeff Johnson. “Our commitment is to build quality accommodation options that meet
a variety of needs. We want Alberta seniors to feel at home and stay connected to family and community, while getting the care and support they need.” “Albertans will welcome the Minister’s announcement today,” said Dr. Richard G. Johnston, president of the Alberta Medical Association. “These additional continuing care beds will free up some acute care resources, which is very positive. Our focus has to be not only on the acute care system, though, but on improving the quality of life for Albertans, ensuring the right kind of support when and where it is needed. This includes looking at new models of care in the community.” Alberta Health will continue to work with providers on the completion of ASLI projects funded over the last four years. These previous investments will result in more than 1,400 continuing care spaces opening between now and 2018. As the MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, I am always available to assist constituents.

January 9, 1951 – October 8, 2014 Douglas Lofgren of Camrose passed away on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 at the age of 63 years. Doug was born on January 9, 1951 in Edmonton, AB. He was adopted by Freeman and Rose Lofgren some thirteen months later. He attended school in Camrose and graduated from Camrose Composite High School in 1969. Thereafter, he attended N.A.I.T. in Edmonton and trained as an electronics technician. He had a passionate interest in all things related to technology. He loved to use and build computers, as evidenced by the very large trove of iPhones, iPads, desktops and laptops in his home office. A lifelong champion of his hometown, he was active in the Chamber of Commerce and the Camrose/Japan Friendship Society with Camrose’s twin city of Kamifurano, Japan. In August 1999, he married Betty Steinbach whom he met while working at Doughboy’s Restaurant. Due to illness, Doug took early retirement from his career at the Camrose Canadian. We will remember Doug for his audacious humour, love of his hometown, and love of Betty and his family. You will forever be in our hearts, and you will forever be loved. Left to cherish his memory are his father Freeman; and brother Padget of Edmonton. Doug was predeceased by his mother Rose in October 2013; and his wife Betty in April, 2014. A funeral service was held on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Bill Harder officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

In loving memory of
Anne Bobik who passed away on October 21, 2008 A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You never would have died. In life, we loved you dearly, In death, we love you still, In our hearts, you hold a place No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth, you are no more, But in our memory, you are with us, As you always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, With which we’ll never part, God has you safely in His keeping But we have you forever in our hearts. Forever in our Hearts Rest in Peace, Mom Love always, From your Family

Dorothy Evelyn Stolee
In memory of
Macala Jane Kneeland May 31, 1997 – October 13, 2004 A Child of Mine “I’ll lend you for a little while A child of mine,” God said For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she’s dead. It may be six or seven years, Or forty-two or -three. But will you, till I call her back Take care of her for me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you And – should her stay be brief – You’ll have her lovely memories As a solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay For all from earth returns, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the whole world over In my search for teachers true. And from all beings that crowd life’s land I have chosen you. Now, will you give her all your love? Nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take This lent child back again? I fancied that I heard you say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joys Thy child will bring The risk of grief we’ll run. We will shelter her with tenderness We’ll love her while we may – And for the happiness we have known Forever grateful stay. But should the angels come for her Much sooner than we planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try – to understand.”
July 29, 1916 – October 12, 2014 Dorothy Evelyn Stolee passed away on Thanksgiving Sunday, October 12, 2014, at the age of 98 years. Dorothy was the third child in a family of seven children born to Henry and Mina Johnson. She was born on July 29, 1916, at the family farm near Donalda, AB. She grew up on the farm, attending Norbo School. In 1940, she married Pastor Selmer Stolee. Together, they served parishes in Fairy Glen, Saskatchewan; Bawlf, Alberta; New Westminster, BC; and Provost, Alberta. As a pastor’s wife, Dorothy played an active part in the ministries to the congregations they served. Dorothy played piano and organ, taught Sunday School, was involved in Ladies’ Aid, prepared baptismal and wedding certificates, took part in pastoral visits to congregation members and bereaved families, and had many other roles. She did this while raising a large family – for many years in houses without indoor plumbing, running water or electricity – and growing large gardens. When Selmer retired in 1973, they returned to live on the farm near Donalda where Dorothy had grown up, only a half-mile from the farm where Selmer was born. Dorothy and Selmer were able to spend many relaxing years on the farm, welcoming children and grandchildren for visits and family gatherings. Dorothy’s homebaked cookies, buns and lefse have become the stuff of legend. For the past several years, Dorothy lived in Sunrise Village in Camrose, saying often, “I’m in a good place.” The family is very grateful for the excellent care she received from the Sunrise Village staff and from Dr. Valerie Smith. Dorothy is remembered as a kind, patient and gentle soul, who walked “humbly with God”. She loved spending time keeping in touch with her family, and could be counted on to know where everyone was, and what they were up to. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Selmer; her brothers Clifford and Norman; her sisters Inez and Doris; and sons-inlaw Jim Bridge and Bernie Keller. She is lovingly remembered by her children Carolyn Stolee, Ruth Bridge, Elaine Keller, Daniel (Trudy) Stolee, Elizabeth (Rod) Rhyason, Eunice (Brian) Gordon, Phyllis (Roger) Holmes, Joe (Barb) Stolee and Paul (Christine Zaza) Stolee; 19 granchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; her sisters Anne Marie Knudtson and Alice Rude; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends. A Funeral Service was at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, October 16, 2014 from Messiah Lutheran Church (4810-50 Street, Camrose), with Rev. Bill Harder officiating. Interment has taken place at the Bethany Lutheran Church Cemetery near Donalda. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Lutheran Theological Seminary of Saskatoon, or the Bethany Lutheran Church Cemetery Fund.

“Paying tribute to the special memory of your loved one”
Ty Christian Naslund With profound sadness and grief, we announce the sudden death of our son, Ty Christian Naslund, on October 10, 2014 at 15 years of age. Ty was born in Edmonton on March 31, 1999. He was raised on the family farm in the Gladstone Community. He attended Bawlf School for all his schooling and was in Grade 10. Ty grew up enjoying life on the farm. His interests as a young child only grew stronger as he got older. As a young boy, he enjoyed rides in the tractor and combine and he had a full collection of farming implements that he played with off season. As he grew, he insisted on learning new things on the farm. He loved to follow Jeff around and tinker with whatever he could find. He spent many hours this harvest driving the combine. He was skilled in all things that he drove. Through his elementary years, Ty enjoyed playing hockey. As this interest waned, he became Devin’s biggest fan. Ty also spent one year in 4H cooking, where he honed this interest. Ty made friends quickly and enjoyed conversation with all. He loved to talk with anyone willing to share their time. This outgoing trait was a gift that he had. Ty spent 13 summers at Skeleton Lake, camping amid family and friends. He loved all that it had to offer. Swimming, boating, quadding, fishing, tubing, kneeboarding, and nightly campfires were all things he enjoyed, but mostly it was the people around him who were his greatest love. In the winters, Ty enjoyed sledding and skiing. A treasured family tradition was spending New Year’s celebrations at Fairmont Hot Springs. The family enjoyed swimming, cards and skiing. Ty was so proud of his skiing ability. He would challenge anyone to race down the hill, finishing the run with a big spray of snow. He never tired of his ski days, and was looking forward to the snow season that was to come. Ty’s greatest passion was dirt biking. He spent many hours riding up and down the country roads and through the fields. With his courageous spirit, he was able to achieve a high level of riding ability. Two weeks ago, he was surprised with a gift of a new bike. He had dreamt of this bike for over a year. Tragically, on October 10 in the evening, Ty took his last ride and never returned home. Ty leaves to mourn his parents Jeff and Carol; two brothers Ryan and Devin; two grandmothers Anne Franc and Donna Naslund; two uncles Lyle (Amber) Naslund and Brian Franc; his cousins Olivia Olsen-Franc and Ava and Jonas Naslund; numerous relatives and friends; and his two furry friends Lucky and George. He was predeceased by his two papas, John Franc in 2013, and Alvar Naslund, one month ago. You are so loved, Ty, and you will be missed all the days of our lives. A funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, October 17, 2014 at Calvary Pentecostal Church (4920-48 Street, Camrose) with Rev. Liz Carter-Morgan (United Church of Camrose) officiating. Interment followed at Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Ty Naslund Scholarship Fund with the Battle River Community Foundation (Cash, cheques or money orders may be sent to Box 1122, Camrose, AB T4V 4E7).

Anne Prytullack has once again proven she is one of the best in the business. The owner of Solo Salon Designs in Camrose wrapped up a successful couple of weeks by winning first place in the Allied Beauty Association’s professional level women’s trend cut and style competition in Calgary Oct. 5 and 6. “I was required to show the judges in the competition area my hair cutting technique using a mannequin,” said Prytullack. “I had done the makeup and hair colour ahead of time.” Prytullack placed second in the Allied Beauty Association evening long hair (up) competition in Vancouver Sept. 14 and 15, in which she was able to work with a live model. “I was able to do the hair colour beforehand,” she said, “but all the rest was done during the competition itself.” Prytullack has been in the hair styling business for the last 35 years. She has been owner of Solo Salon Designs for the last 15.
Rotary project supported Minister of State (Finance) and Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson is pleased the federal government is supporting a project implemented by the Canadian Rotary Collaboration for International Development (CRCID) in Honduras and Guatemala. The Government of Canada has worked in collaboration with Canadian Rotarians since the late 1970s and with the CRCID since 1986 to partner on projects to improve the lives of people around the globe. The Rotary approach of community-level fundraising increases the engagement of individual Canadians and strengthens the bonds of friendship between the developed and developing world. Canadian Rotarians and the Harper Government have worked closely together on eradicating polio. Prime Minister Harper launched the “Pennies and More for Polio” fundraising drive to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, a global program initiated by Rotarians. By increasing access to basic education in Guatemala, and by improving water and sanitation systems and providing access to micro finance in Honduras, this new project will provide increased opportunities for vulnerable people to enjoy improved household income and health. “As the Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, I have always been impressed by the remarkable work of local Rotary Clubs in our riding. I am proud that our Conservative government is able to assist these ‘grassroots’ efforts,” said Minister Sorenson. One of the goals of Canada’s Strategy for Engagement in the Americas is to increase security and improve socio-economic conditions for the most vulnerable groups in the region. Quick Facts
Photo by Ron Lindsay A Sarens crane lifted a 60-foot pedestrian bridge into place last week in the park on 53 Avenue between 58 and 60 Street (east of the golf course).
Sixty percent of Hondurans and 54 percent of Guatemalans live in poverty, while 18 percent of Hondurans and 14 percent of Guatemalans live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than US$1.25/day. Canada views increased engagement through trade and commercial-economic ties as one of the best ways to promote sustainable economic growth in the Americas. Canada is committed to targeting the most effective ways to reduce maternal and child deaths in developing countries, including by improving access to quality water and sanitation to reduce the burden of leading diseases.

Camrose Police Service checking for seat belt usage By Dan Jensen
Camrose Police Service will be conducting a series of seat belt blitzes throughout the month of October to remind drivers and their passengers of the importance of buckling up. “We have been mandated to stop vehicles and issue warnings and/or tickets for any seat belt and child safety seat infractions,” explained Camrose Police Service traffic enforcement officer Const. Mike Kuster. Using a seat belt is the most effective way to reduce the risk of injury or death in a collision.
“Seat belts keep drivers and passengers from striking the interior of the vehicle, colliding with other passengers or being ejected from the vehicle, in which case the risk of being killed is five times greater,” said Const. Kuster. “Motorists who use their seatbelts increase their chances of surviving a collision by 50 per cent.” Alberta law requires any person who is travelling in a vehicle to be wearing a seat belt or be strapped into a child safety seat. The responsible for ensuring that all passengers under
the age of 16 are properly strapped in is that of the driver. The fine for seat belt or child safety seat infractions is $115. Proper use
A typical seat belt consists of a lap and shoulder belt. The shoulder belt should be worn close against the body, over the shoulder and across the chest, never under the arm or behind the back. The lap belt should be firm against the body and low across the hips. A seat belt should not be worn twisted, as the full width of the belt is required
to spread motor vehicle collision forces across the body. While a child can start using a seat belt alone at age six or when he/she weighs over 18 kg, it is recommended that a child be in a booster seat until he/she turns nine or reaches a weight of 37 kg. Pregnant women who wear the lap and shoulder belt should sit as upright as possible. The lap belt should be worn low so that it pulls down on the pelvic bones and not directly across the abdomen. Air bags do not replace seat belts – they are
designed to work in conjunction with them. They do not prevent drivers and passengers from being thrown from the vehicle.” The seat belt blitz is part of an Alberta Traffic Safety Plan that focuses on education, enforcement, communications, engineering, community engagement and legislation to make our roads safer. A study done by Transport Canada showed that close to 40 per cent of drivers and passengers who were killed in collisions were not using their seatbelts.

Facilitators who are provincial and national leaders in cancer supportive programming and services then led morning and afternoon breakout sessions with topics ranging from Goodbye Brain Fog, Money Matters and The Engaged Caregiver to Eat Your Way to Wellness and Mental Health. Saturday also included a Survivor and Caregiver Panel Discussion where there was a chance to learn from the lives and stories of people who have walked the cancer survivorship and caregiver journey. The conference wrapped up with the final keynote presentation from Mike and Bonnie Lang – a highly energetic and inspirational couple who talked about Encouraging Relationships to Survive and Thrive during a Cancer Experience. “This was an incredible event with world class presenters, practical information sessions, meaningful community building activities and great overall organization,” said Mike Lang, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, former CancerBRIDGES Survivorship Education Coordinator and MSc. student, Health Services Research. “It would be classified as an excellent conference in a large urban centre, but it all took place in a small prairie town! The Camrose PCN is leading the way with cancer survivorship education in so many ways by offering these types of education events. With over 120,000 cancer survivors in the province of Alberta, a number which is quickly growing, educating survivors and addressing the issues that they are facing is not only necessary for proper medical follow-up care, it is essential for helping those touched by cancer to live well in spite of it. If the purpose of treating cancer is to help people live longer, healthier lives as engaged members of their communities, then education events like these need to keep happening on a regular basis. Well done Camrose for taking the lead in this area and being a PCN that CancerControl Alberta can point to as an exemplar in survivorship care and education in the province.”

Chevrolet Equinox New possibilities
Graeme Davidson By Dan Jensen
The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC in Camrose opens up a whole new world of possibilities. "It is everything the compact crossover was meant to be," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan. Design Equinox designers and engineers set out to create an uncompromising design that not only turns heads but also helps reduce wind drag and boost efficiency. Sculpted lines and exterior accents add style to the equation and support impressive fuel economy. Owners can choose from 17 inch aluminum wheels (standard on LS and LT), 18 inch chrome clad wheels (standard on LTZ, available on LT) or 19 inch chrome clad aluminum wheels (available on LTZ V6). Well equipped From carpools to family outings to shopping and sporting events, Equinox is well-equipped to handle life's journeys – and whatever you decide to bring with you. The available roof rack side rails can carry everything from bikes and boards to skis, while the available programmable power lifegate makes for easy load-
ing and unloading. You can open the liftgate three quarters of the way or to the max, or customize how far it opens to clear your garage door or underground ceiling. The convenient 60/40 split-folding multli-flex rear seats make it easy to accommodate groceries, camping gear, flowers and mulch – you name it. The Trailer Hitch Package and standard trailer sway control let you pull your recreational vehicles with confidence. Interior L eat her -appoi nt ed seating with two-tone panels and contrasting colour stitching deliver comfort in style. Ice-blue ambient lighting casts a calming glow, and acoustic-laminated glass and Active Noise Cancellation (four cylinder models) make for a quiet, peaceful ride. Once you enter you feel like you have arrived. In Equinox there is room for everyone with an expansive 1,013 mm of rearseat legroom. Family friendly conveniences include several storage bins, four 12-volt power outlets and eight cupholders. The covered storage under the centre armrest is big enough to hold a laptop computer. Multi flex sliding rear seats with 60/40 split-fold-
ing design slide back to add almost 203 mm of rear legroom, slide forward to add 203 mm of cargo room, or fold flat to create 1,803 litres of maximum cargo space. Heated power eight way front seats include adjustments for lumbar support and vertical height, so the driver and front passenger can find just the right position. Two engine choices The standard EcoTec 2.4 litre four cylinder engine offers impressive fuel efficiency ratings of 6.1 litres per 100 km highway and 9.2 litres per 100 km highway, along with an Eco button you can press to maximize efficiency on the fly. The 3.6 litre V6 delivers 301 horsepower and 272 lb.ft. of torque – enough to go from zero to 96 km/h in 6.7 seconds or tow up to 3,500 lbs. when properly equipped. No matter which engine you choose, the electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission provides exceptional refinement and responsiveness. Connectivity With the Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system it is easy to stay connected on the go. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, Chevrolet MyLink integrates content from your compatible smartphone onto
the 178 mm diagonal colour touch screen. It also offers enhanced voice recognition. Chevrolet is the first auto manufacturer to bring Siri Eyes Free on the iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 along for the ride. With this feature you can ask Siri to read text messages and notifications, find and add calendar entries, use maps to get directions, and so much more – without taking your hands off the wheel. Chevrolet MyLink lets you play music stored on your compatible smartphone or stream it from apps such as Stitcher SmartRadio. Gracenote will organize your music library and populate song, information and album art. Chevrolet MyLink Radio with navigation lets you use voice or touch controls to set destinations, choose your map view, or activate turn-by-turn directions. The rear seat entertainment system combines dual front seatback mounted monitors with wireless headphones to help kids stay entertained throughout the trip while you enjoy the silence. Proactive protection The StabiliTrak electronic stability control system on Equinox helps to provide vehicle stability on
most road surfaces, especially during emergency manoeuvres and difficult driving conditions. The four wheel anti lock braking system helps maintain steering control by reducing wheel lockup during hard braking on most slippery surfaces. Equinox also includes an advanced Electronic Brake Force Distribution system that helps balance brake force between the front and rear brakes under heavy braking. The available rear vision camera projects an image of what is behind your Equinox onto the 178 mm diagonal colour touchscreen display when in reverse. Available rear park assist also helps you back up safely by sounding an audible alert when it detects certain stationary objects up to 2.4 metres behind the Equinox. Forward collision alert monitors your proximity to the vehicle in front of you and alerts you to any potential front-end crash risk, so you have time to stop and/ or change course. See the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Since The Camrose Booster first started publishing the community’s favorite newspaper back in 1952, we’ve relied on private carriers to look after delivering our publications and flyers for our valued customers. It’s a job that over the years has been a wonderful first job, stepping stone, interim employment or retirement hobby for countless people. Hundreds of families in the past half-century have become “team carriers” with the objective of saving money for a family vacation, major purchase, college, university or other education.

Camrose Kodiaks lose two close games By Murray Green
For the first time this the Camrose season, Kodiaks lost two Alberta Junior Hockey League games in a row. However, the panic button won’t be hit because one loss was in an overtime nail biter and the other was in a shoot out. The Kodiaks scored three first period goals against the Okotoks Oilers, but didn’t hang on in a 5-4 loss. T.J. Brown, Tanner Younghans and Brett Njaa netted the tallies. “Early in the games we stuck to the game plan and things were working out. The last 10 minutes of each game we shut down and thought it was over,” explained defenceman Brown. “We were comfortable, but when it wasn’t working we didn’t battle through it. When a goal was scored against us we didn’t get the momentum back to play like we were before.” In the second frame, the Oilers scored early, but were held off for the rest of the period. When Cam Gotaas added a marker in the third, Camrose looked like they were in control. Even after the Oilers replied in the middle of the period the game appeared to be over. However, Okotoks took advantage of a power play opportunity in the last minute to pull within one goal. Then 22 seconds later the Oilers tied the game to force overtime and the momentum swung to the team’s side. “The whole team let up a little. I think we will remember this,” said

Kodiaks defenceman T.J. Brown fires the puck at the net in action at the EnCana Arena.
Brown, about the lesson learned in the two games. We have to remember not to let up.” Goalie Patrick Gora made 30 saves on 35 shots. Camrose fired 36 at the Okotoks net. The Kodiaks went zero for seven on the power play. “We have been working on the small details in practice so we can avoid
teams from coming back on us,” added Brown. “We have to stay on the defensive side of the game and know where our partners are (communication) on the ice at all times.” In the third meeting of the season, Spruce Grove avenged earlier losses with a 4-3 victory in a shoot out. Camrose again had a 3-1 lead that slipped away.
Goals came of the sticks of Brown, Nelson Gadoury and Cole McBride in the first two periods. The Saints fought back in the third to extend the game to overtime. Although Camrose carried the play, Spruce Grove hung on and each team sent out five shooters before an outcome was determined. “My teammates helped
me score the goals, but it is a team game and they helped me. I really like it here in Camrose,” said the former Lacombe resident. “Everyone in this league is bigger and stronger and it is an adjustment.” Goalie Devin McDonald made 38 saves in the game and another four in the shoot out. The next home game for the Kodiaks is on Oct. 24 when the Calgary Canucks provide the opposition. The puck drops at 7 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. Camrose also hosts Whitecourt on Oct. 25. Bear facts You can now receive a Tim Hortons reloadable Camrose Kodiaks Tim Card to use for your purchases. They make perfect gift cards for hockey fans. Matt Hunter was added to the Kodiaks’ office. He completed his education in New Jersey and has a degree in psychology and exercise physiology. He played hockey while attending school in the United States. On Oct. 24, it is Read to Succeed night for elementary schools. Students in elementary schools will be let into the game for free as an appreciation for their hard work in school and reading. The Kodiaks are very proud to say that education is number one for the athletes and they want young children to understand the importance of school and reading. Prizes will be awarded to kids in schools who have read and they will be awarded randomly through a draw.

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.

Police advise people to lock vehicles October 17
Police have received several complaints from vehicle owners that their parked vehicles have been rummaged through during the night and items had been stolen. Thefts were reported along Edgewood drive and along 61 A Street in the 3100 block. A red 1997 Ford truck was reported stolen from a residence along 28 Avenue and 5600 block sometime during the night. Police are still investigating. October 15
At approximately 2:45 p.m. police observed a man operating a vehicle and noted the man was bound by a court ordered curfew not to be outside his residence. Police stopped the vehicle and arrested the 32-year-old driver. Police then located and seized 53.8 grams of methamphetamine, one gram of cocaine, over $6,500 in cash, a loaded handgun and ammunition from inside the vehicle. A Camrose man is now facing charges of: possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking, possession of cocaine, possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000, four charges of breaching conditions of his recognizance and six firearms related charges. His bail has been denied and he remains in custody. Police are investigating a theft of liquor, after staff at a liquor store noticed several bottles of liquor missing which was confirmed when the suspect(s) were captured on the store’s video surveillance system. October 14
A 43-year-old lady was issued a three day Immediate Roadside Suspension, as police noted that she had been drinking prior to driving up to a check stop at approximately 10:40 p.m. The lady’s blood alcohol level was above the provincial limit of 50 mg per cent and her vehicle was also seized for three days pursuant to the legislation. October 13
Police responded to a call of a potential theft in progress at a local Camrose business.

Stay healthy during pregnancy Some say that pregnancy is like running a marathon: it takes a lot of stamina to make it to the finish line. Physical activity can help make the nine-month journey easier – and you don’t need to actually run a marathon to enjoy the benefits. Research shows moderate exercise during pregnancy can help to ease discomfort, reduce the risk of complications and stress and boost your energy. “The physical benefits of fitness and exercise are the same as they are for women who aren’t pregnant,” says Dr. Suzanne Tough, who is funded by Alberta Innovates – Health Solutions (AIHS) and is the scientific director of Alberta Health Services’ Maternal, Newborn, Child and Youth Strategic Clinical Network. Tough says as long as your pregnancy is low-risk and you’re receiving regular prenatal care, nothing is stopping you from being active during pregnancy. Physical activity is good for both you and your baby. The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology recommends the following FITT tips for physical activity: Frequency: begin at three times a week and build up to four times a week. Intensity: exercise within your target heart rate zone. Whatever you do, you want to be able to talk comfortably while doing it. Time: try to exercise for 15 minutes, even if it means reducing the intensity. Rest if you need to. Type: pick non-weightbearing or low-impact endurance exercise such as walking, stationary cycling, aquatic exercise and lowimpact aerobics. Other options include yoga, dance and resistance training. Knowing your limits is important. And if you experience any of the following, stop exercising and contact your health-care provider right away: excessive shortness of breath, chest pain, painful uterine contractions (more than six to eight in an hour), vaginal bleeding or any “gush” of fluid from the vagina and dizziness or faintness. Other pointers for exercising when you’re pregnant include: drinking plenty of water, staying cool, avoiding working out in hot, humid weather, wearing loose clothing and wearing a supportive bra.

Shoebox program helps those less fortunate By Murray Green
Camrose and surrounding area residents are being asked to think of people in third world countries as Christmas approaches. Operation Christmas Child, a non-denominational Christian program of Samaritan’s Purse International Relief and Development Organization are now making shoeboxes available to be filled with items for children around the world. “Our goal this year is to send 5,000 shoeboxes to Calgary for collection and then onto the children. We are challenging Wetaskiwin and we want to beat the number they are collecting, as they beat us last year” said local team member Shauna Chrabaszcz. “We sent 1,388 boxes last year, so this is a lofty goal for our community, but we believe that we can do it,” said logistics coordinator Tammy Grose. You are asked to pick up a box and brochure with the details of what items are needed and which ones can’t be included. After stocking the shoeboxes with items, people are asked to return them to the collection sites where they received them by Nov 17. The local organizers are asking for the boxes to be back at the drop off points early so they can be packaged and trucked to Calgary by Nov. 23. “There is a girl from our church (Century Meadows Baptist Church) that went to a country to help deliver the boxes and she has great stories to tell on how much the children appreciated the gifts,” said Chrabaszcz. “It brings tears to your eyes just listening to the stories.” Some of the children are orphans. “They are so excited to receive gifts and some

of them don’t have parents. It makes a huge difference in their lives,” added Grose. The organizers are hoping that the schools, churches and businesses in the area help them out by taking on a project to fill some shoeboxes. “The destination for the shoeboxes are Uruguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau, Venezuela and Equatorial Guinea that are coming from Alberta,” said Grose.
Filling a shoebox is easy and particularly exciting when you include your family. You have to decide whether to help a boy or girl, choose an age category, purchase a variety of small gifts, school supplies or hygiene items. Fill a shoebox, add a label and secure it with an elastic band. If possible, enclose a $7 cheque per box for shipping and handling and include a photo with a brief note. Pho-
tos bring reality and hope of a loving world beyond theirs. Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and brochures can be picked up at Century Meadows Baptist Church at 3720-66A Street from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday to Thursday. They should be returned by Nov. 23. Return hours for the drop off points are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. from Nov. 17 to 23. Other pick up and drop off points, by Nov 17 are at
McLellan Wheaton, Camrose Cycle, Richardson’s Jewellery, Crafty Crafters, Petersen’s Florists, Wiseman’s Way, Shirt Off Your Back, Kick’s to Kids, The Brick, UPS Store, Soap Stop and ATB in Camrose. Saigon Rose and Nu Tech are also pick up locations. For more information on filling a shoebox call 780679-2573, 780-672-3230, or if you wish to fill one online visit www.samaritanspurse. ca.
Nine ways to raise funds more effectively Fundraising is how many nonprofit organizations manage to stay afloat. There are scores of fundraising opportunities for clubs, organizations and companies of all sizes. Carefully chosen and planned fundraisers can help nonprofit organizations solicit more donations and ensure their mission statements become a reality. The following are nine ways nonprofit organizations can focus their fundraising efforts in an effort to better connect with potential donors. 1. Define the needs of the organization. Before you can effectively raise funds, you should establish the end goal of the fundraising effort. Figure out the group’s budget and expenses and how much money you hope to raise
to keep your organization afloat. 2. Create a message. Once you have defined your needs, articulate your goals into language that can be shared with others. Include why donors should donate, such as how this fundraising campaign will help the community or a specific person. Tapping into a people’s emotional connection to a charity or event may lead them to be more responsive to your fundraising solicitation. 3. Create long-standing relationships. One of the most important things fundraisers can do is build deeper relationships between prospective givers and the organization that is doing the fundraising. Stronger relationships may bring in repeated financial donations and
even some people willing to lend their voices or talents to the organization’s efforts. Solid relationships also serve as a building block for other contacts and word-of-mouth donations. 4. Build your prospect list. The closer an organization is to its donors the more likely those donors will give when asked. Start your prospect list with those people you know the best, including family and friends. Move outward to colleagues and acquaintances. Don’t be shy about contacting people on social media. 5. Gather information. Find out about various fundraising opportunities. You do not need to reinvent the wheel. Many companies specialize in fundraising, including
retailers that have fundraising arms of their companies. You could sell merchandise and receive a portion of the profits for your organization. Certain fundraising methods are more familiar to the community than others, such as coupon books or cookie sales. Familiarity may lead to bigger donations. 6. Avoid hosting too many fundraisers. It may seem counterintuitive, but fundraising less may bring in bigger donations over the long haul. Public enthusiasm can wane when organizations are constantly fundraising. One or two big fundraisers may have more impact than several different events throughout the year. 7. Have receipts or
acknowledgement letters at the ready. Individuals will need a confirmation of the donation so they can deduct such contributions from their taxes. 8. Advertise. Without knowledge of a fundraiser, no one can get on board with your efforts. Advertise as much as possible and solicit volunteers to spread the word. Also, advertise well in advance so people can look forward to the fundraiser and budget ahead of time. 9. Consult with experienced fundraising committees. If a particular group had a stellar fundraising campaign, talk with organizers about what they did. Learning from others’ past successes and failures can guide your future fundraising efforts.
