For a few months each year, east central Alberta is home to a wide variety of interesting birds which visit the area to mate, breed and fledge their young. Tree swallows, like many species, often make the long migration journey from Central or South America and, for reasons and logistics not completely understood, seek out their exact birth location or previous nesting site. Such is likely the case with the bird photographed near Camrose. Despite potential new accommodations being available just inches away, this female swallow has chosen this delapidated nest box to raise this year’s chicks. The tired old box provides dry safety for the four nestlings. The parents work tirelessly from sunrise to sunset catching insects on the fly to feed directly into the mouths of their offspring.

Camrose and area residents who wish to help southern Albertans affected by the recent flooding are being encouraged to bring new and gently used items to the Centra Cam Vocational Training Association's main building. Drop-offs may be made Monday to Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. "I've been collecting donations for about a week now with the help of my sister, Kelly Eloff," said Michelle Stinson, Camrose facilitator for the 2013 Disaster Help for Southern Alberta and NeighborLink Calgary. The donations are being sorted and classified before being loaded into a semi trailer provided by HiWay 13 Transport. "The truck is almost a quarter full right now," said Stinson. "Once it is full it will be driven to the warehouse that has been set up by NeighborLink to receive donations." Items being sought range from toys, children's books, unopened cleaning supplies, safety goggles, flashlights, steel toe boots, and batteries to bug spray, cat and dog food, unopened soaps and shampoos, towels, washcloths, laundry detergents, sheets, diapers, infant formulas, diaper cream, baby food and baby cereal, toiletries, feminine hygiene products, bottled water, blankets, non-perishable foods, furniture and small kitchen appliances. A full list of items needed is available at Centra Cam. "Everyone has been really good at bringing things in," said Stinson. "Quite a few people have gone to the dollar store and bought tooth brushes, tooth paste, deodorants and what not and put them into a package. We really haven't had any garbage coming in." Items that cannot be accepted are clothing, furniture, appliances, seasonal decor, adult clothing, and exercise equipment. "Value Village, Red Cross and Salvation Army have supplied all the clothing needs," said Stinson. Anyone wishing to make donations after the normal drop-off times may contact Stinson at 789-679-7684. "I have access to the trailer in the evening because I know it is sometimes hard for people to get away from their jobs during the day," said Stinson. The response to the flooding from people from across the province has been praised extensively by the mayors of Calgary, High River and other communities which have been affected. "We actually had some volunteers from surrounding areas that have been down to the NeighborLink warehouse to unload the trucks," said Stinson.

Camrose U12 United girls earn silver medals in tournament By Murray Green
The U12 United girls earned a berth in provincials, placed second in their league, received a bronze medal in the Camrose Night Classic and a silver in an early season tournament to have a successful season in soccer. Members of the team, back row from left to right, coach Michael Abraham, coach Michael Filipchuk, Rebecca Zimmel, Hailey McKechnie, Grace Zimmel, Mikaila Rude, Elizabeth Donohue and coach Lloyd Kyriacou. Middle row from left to right, Holly Kyriacou, Tea Maruschak, Avery Hanson, Ryleigh Suter and Sarah Filipchuk. Front row from left to right, Nylah Gallant and Kyla Church.
The season started on the right foot with the Camrose U12 United girls earning silver medals in the pre-season tournament. The squad captured bronze medals in the local Night Classic and placed second in the league finals. The girls topped that by earning a spot in the provincial tournament. "The girls have really gelled together as a team. The coaches have done a fantastic job in improving their skills
and have really worked hard for the girls," said Nicki Kyriacou, who manages the team with Cheryl Filipchuk. "Tammy Olsen has done a great job in organizing soccer for us as well." Despite the hail, rain, heat and mosquitoes, the team is totally focused on improving at each practice and game. "We, the parents, are so proud of them for winning three medals and going on to provincials," Nicki said. "It's a pretty big achievement because only three players are
in their second year. The rest are all first year players in the division. The older girls have helped the younger ones, so they all work as a team." Members of the team are Ryleigh Suter, Elizabeth Donohue, Kyla Church, Nylah Gallant, Hailey McKechnie, Holly Kyriacou, Avery Hanson, Mikaila Rude, Grace Zimmel, Sarah Filipchuk, Rebecca Zimmel and Tea Maruschak. The team is coached by Michael Filipchuk, Michael Abraham and Lloyd Kyriacou.

Rotary Club opens new youth centre By Dan Jensen
After years of talks and planning, the Rotary Youth Centre is a reality. Rotary Club of Camrose past president Shirley Rostad, Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson, Russell Hawkins, representatives from Sixth Camrose Scouts and several others from the community who provided donations of time, labour, money and materials watched on Canada Day as project manager Ron Grue opened the 8,800 square foot centre by sawing through a ceremonial plank of wood. "This is a facility for a lot of kids in our community," explained Rostad. Seed money
The Rotary Club of Camrose started looking at the idea of a youth centre a couple of years ago after receiving a $25,000 grant from a family which had benefitted years ago from a Rotary scholarship. "We thought it should be for youth since the original money came as a response to a grant for youth," said Rostad. The total financial commitment by the Rotary Club of Camrose towards the project is $100,000. The City of Camrose has committed approximately $150,000 while the provincial government's CFEP program contributed $85,904. "We (Rotary) couldn't have taken on this project by ourselves so that was much appreciated," said Grue. Meeting spaces
The Sixth Camrose Scout program (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers) and the Camrose Girl Guide program (Sparks, Brownies and Guides) will be the main users of the facility, which has meeting areas on the main and lower floors, as well as storage rooms for the Scouts, Girl Guides, Camrose Special Olympics, Minor Ball, Soccer and Football, and Rotary archives. The Camrose Air and Army Cadets will have access to the centre for training programs.
Ron Grue cut through a plank to officially open the new Rotary Youth Centre on Canada Day. Joining him in the photo were members of the sixth Camrose Scouts, Russell Hawkins (second from left), Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson and Rotary past president Shirley Rostad.
The building is a replacement for the existing Scout Hut behind Camrose and District Centennial Museum. "The building the Scouts are in is really a place that needs to be condemned," said Rotary member David Francoeur last year. "It was built by the army in the 1940s and was supposed to last only five years." Sixth Camrose Scouts leader Rod MacInnis said at the opening the Scouts are very appreciative of having a new building. "I would like you to come down and see the place that we are coming from and why we are so grateful." Three month project
The actual physical work on the new youth centre started three months ago with the removal of the caretaker's residence. "I had to get it done within
three months because of my other commitments," said Grue. "It was three months this past Wednesday that we started tearing down the other building." Grue's right hand man throughout the whole project was Russell Hawkins, owner of Camrose Energy. "Russell Hawkins arrived here one of the first few days and said he was going to help," said Grue. "There were days that Russell and I were the only two who were here, and his help made a big difference. This building would not be here without him." Haugen Backhoe Services demolished the caretaker's building and dug the foundation for the centre at no cost, while Read Contracting assisted with the framing and the roofing. The building was designed by Zetsen Master Builders.
"We received really good discounts from many contractors and suppliers," said Grue. "The contractors really saved me because they came forward and did so much at a really good price. The building I am sure would have cost in that $700,000 to $900,000 range and we will be finishing up at less than half of that." Community project
The Rotary Youth Centre project was another example of the good things that can happen when the entire community bands together for a common purpose. "All the volunteers were really appreciated," said Grue. "It just creates energy when you have a bunch of people in one spot. It is amazing what can get done. The Scouts were absolutely fantastic. It was really good to see that group get involved."
The project involved a lot more work than Grue initially thought it would. "There were days I questioned why I was doing this but I just kept on because I am not a quitter," said Grue. "My thought at the start was that we were going to have a community barnraising but that just didn't come together. The first few weeks I spent ten hours a day here and then another three or four hours at home just planning and organizing. The last couple weeks I would be here at seven in the morning and seldom leave before 10 at night." All the programs using the new centre have a lot to teach Camrose and area youth about discipline and responsibility. "I think it is important that kids have some discipline in their life," said Grue.
AlbertaVoices research will be shared in the fall By Murray Green
AlbertaVoices will be heard on the subject of fracking. Ever since a conference on fracking was held in Camrose, several local university graduates were determined to examine the problems more closely. The group's aim is to give voice to those with troubling experiences with hydraulic fracturing in this province. Landowners' opinions are being heard through film and online, starting in the fall. "It is interesting to see how the oil and gas industry view hydraulic fracturing differently than landowners," said Rajan Rathnavalu, of AlbertaVoices. "The government and industry are pretty consistent in messaging that it is very safe. In hearing lots of stories from landowners who say otherwise, we wanted to get the word out. Landowners are at a disadvantage at getting the voice out against industry and government." The AlbertaVoices crew includes former University of Alberta, Augustana campus students Hans Asfeldt, Alison Bor-
tolon, Rajan Rathnavalu and professor Dittmar Mundel. "We wanted to provide a voice and forum where landowners can share their stories and opinions. It helps other people understand that fracking can be dangerous for our water and all life," said Rajan. "We want more awareness of what is happing in the ground. We applied for some funding and we received help from people in Camrose to gather stories (mainly Hans and Alison) and share tem online for others to view." The videos and stories will be available online starting in September. "We've been to landowners' places in Camrose, Ponoka, Cochrane and Athabasca. We are all humans and we have to share the Earth. That brought reality for us when people showed us their contaminated water. People have to bring in water to drink, shower and give to their animals," said Alison. "One that I learned about is how the flaring that takes place causes respiratory problems. Some days in
Cochrane it is a struggle to just walk outdoors." Alison has found water contamination, respiratory problems, hair loss in women and full body rashes from places close to where fracking has occurred. The landowner's solution is just to get away some days. "My passion and interest in the AlbertaVoices project is inspired through being able to be a window to share the voices of those affected in hydraulic fracturing, and being able to share their human experience," said Alison. Themogenic gas has been found deep in the ground. It comes up because it is being drilled. "It doesn't come up naturally. There is themogenic gas in their water. There doesn't seem to be a commitment to finding out who has done it. When the government investigates, they only check a few wells and some are a considerable distance from the farm," said Rajan. "Then they conclude that it is inconclusive." Rajan wants others to avoid fracking by talking about the
problems. "My research related to fracking arises from my concern for how we treat each other and the world around us and my belief that, if a community works together, anything can be accomplished," said Rajan. "Industry doesn't want to be proved as the bad guy and government receives a lot of revenue, so they don't want to be as well. The government regulatory system is biased towards industry." Rajan is looking for a commitment to understanding what is happening first. "We can start with baseline testing. It is not that expensive to do rigorous baseline testing. Then you can determine conclusively what are the effects of gas, or where it comes from," explained Rajan. "Secondly, we need a commitment for transparency. When you test for water, you have to test for specific chemicals. If you don't know what you are testing for, it's like shooting an arrow in the dark." The third factor is a commitment to fairness. "It is clear in talking to landowners that
the government is in favour of industry. Is that the truth? Well according to landowners it is," added Rajan. "The government will say there have been 170,000 wells fracked without incident. But, in even their own records they admit some problems. They admit it in public and do not even honour what they know. Without transparency, fairness and honesty we don't have any to protect our water." Neighbours must stay united. "Landowners can say no, but if the neighbour beside them says yes, then they can drill and they can't do anything about it," said Alison. "Landowners feel like they are backed into a corner, especially if they don't have the mineral rights. People feel trapped and helpless." Rajan said landowners must put certain conditions into the land lease agreement. "You can ask for baseline testing and where they place the wells. It is increasingly harder to say no fracking," he added. Continued on page 5

"Flaring is a problem because it causes health issues," said Alison. "We talked to a farmer who lost nine animals. If the animals get sick, then it gets into the food system in our beef, chicken, milk and pork." AlbertaVoices wants to report its findings on its website, so everyone can share members' opinions. "With pipelines, Germany has a higher standard than what we have here. We need to learn from others," added Rajan. The group is currently in an editing phase to add the information to the website. "We also welcome others to add their stories and write in," said Rajan. "We want to start the conversation about fracking." AlbertaVoices is funded primarily by the Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Religion and Public Life. The Ronning Centre and its private donors have generously made this project possible by providing honorariums to Hans and Alison for their work over the summer.

The Camrose Walk to Defeat ALS had 70 participants. By Dan Jensen
Camrose and area residents joined with citizens from across Alberta in walking the Mirror Lake trail system June 22 to support the fight against ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). "We had 70 walkers who raised $30,850," explained Camrose walk coordinator Dianne Friesen. "The amount raised was up from just over $18,000 a year ago." The top two fund-raisers were John Tuckwell and Danny Hammer. The Camrose ALS Walk is one of 12 that are held across Alberta every year and one of 94 across Canada. Sixty per cent of the funds raised in Alberta stay in Alberta, and 40 per cent of those funds go towards ALS research. "We've been doing the Camrose walk the last four years said Friesen. This is the first year we had a barbecue at the end." The walkers were welcomed by deputy mayor Gerry Galenza, who expressed the City's thanks for their efforts in increasing awareness about ALS. Camrose City council proclaimed June as ALS month. The biggest group of walkers were family members of Janice Morrison, from Hardisty, who wore t-shirts with the words Walking for Janice. Morrison, who had ALS, died in 2002. "We have been going to ALS walks across the province for the last 12 years said a family spokesperson. The Walk to Defeat ALS is an ALS Canada supported event that was started to provide equipment, support services, education for the ALS Community, and fund research to find a cure. ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis.

Posing for a photo at the official opening of the Bittern Lake pump station last week were: (left to right) Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA and Alberta Agriculture Minister Verlyn Olson, Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson, Village of Bittern Lake mayor Ken Feth and Village of Bittern Lake councillor Jarred Booth.
The Village of Bittern Lake celebrated the completion of improvements to its pumphouse and drinking water distribution system July 4. "It has been a long process," said Bittern Lake mayor Ken Feth following a ceremony at Bittern Lake Hall that included comments from Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson and Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson. "It's been about five years since people started saying that we had to do something. There are actually two councillors that started the proceedings who aren't even here. It is a new council that finished the job for them." Using a $120,000 federal gas tax fund transfer and $403,000 from the Alberta Municipal Infrastructure Program (AMIP), the village was able to replace corroded steel pipes, existing air release valves, and portions of the distribution system, as well as upgrade the monitoring and alarm systems. "The upgrades to the pumphouse, including physical elements of the building and monitoring systems will extend the life of this water distribution system," said Sorenson. "They will also ensure that clean drinking water will continue to be provided to the residents of Bittern Lake for years to come." The federal gas tax fund provides long-term funding to municipalities across the country to build and revitalize their local infrastructure. The Government of Canada has invested over $10 billion to date in municipal infrastructure through this program, and passed legislation to make it a permanent transfer of $2 billion per year. "Our top priority in the federal government is jobs
growth in the economy and long term prosperity for the citizens," said Sorenson. "Infrastructure investments are a key part of the government's plan to boost economic growth and job creation in Canada." Olson said the provincial government is proud to be a partner in the project along with the Village of Bittern Lake and the federal government. "I think we are all on the same page when it comes to what we are trying to do here. We are all committed to safe, strong and healthy communities. That certainly is a priority for our government, and an event like this gives us an opportunity to think about what is possible when we collaborate." Olson said the province has been putting significant amounts of money into infrastructure. "It really is a key thing that governments do. Over the past number of years we have invested over $4 billion around the province." Olson congratulated the Village of Bittern Lake for having the foresight and determination for see the upgrades through to the end. "It is really the local government, representing the local residents, which identify the need and respond to the need." Feth said the infrastructure upgrades will continue to support the village's ongoing commitment to sustainability, which is increasingly important for smaller communities. "We are very grateful for the progressive thinking of past councils that were instrumental in building the foundation for the continued success of the village. Many thanks to the federal and provincial government for the funding to support this legacy."

PEN .I am a more empathic person POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Good neighbours It is quite common to hear people say that we are not as neighbourly as we used to be, that we used to welcome new folks in our block but now we don’t and, furthermore, some will confess that they don’t really care. Those things may be true but there is evidence that people are as caring as they ever were – it may seem not to be so because the world has changed over a period of time and therefore people are expressing their concern for each other in ways that differ from ways of the past. Let’s look at changes in our own community in the last 100 years – we chose 100 years because it is a time span to which we can probably relate because Alberta, in 2005, celebrated its 100th anniversary as a province of the Dominion of Canada; Camrose celebrated its own 100th anniversary in 2005; and, in the last few years, Camrosians have been celebrating a number of 100-year anniversaries of establishments and organizations within its own boundaries – for example: Burgar Funeral Home, the opening of what is now Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, the Camrose Board of Trade now known as Camrose Chamber of Commerce; the Camrose Ski Club. Just over one hundred years ago, Camrose had a water well at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 50 Street for the purpose of sating the thirst of horses which brought mail to residents and customers to service providers open for business; outdoor toilets and oil lamps preceded the construction of sewer and power systems. There was no pavement and sidewalks were made of slats of wood. Almost all of Camrose, including business and residential areas, was contained within an eightblock area with numerous vacant spaces. It was easier to be neighbourly then, in fact, it was a necessity because people were more dependent on each other for care in times of emergency, and for socializing because of very limited mobility. As is plain to see, Camrose is a different place and the world is a different place than it was a century ago, but disasters, like the recent flooding in southern Alberta, have provided plenty of evidence that people still care about the welfare of their neighbours. Because of growth and development, our neighbourhoods have expanded, too, far beyond the people next door or those in our own community. Folks from all over our province, indeed from all over our country, have shown their empathy by immediately offering assistance to those who have sustained great loss – in some cases everything they owned. Worthy of notice, too, is that people are not only rushing to aid family and friends but strangers as well; today neighbourliness extends to include all persons in need. Without such help, how could Calgary ever have been able to open its world-wide attraction of the year on schedule? Other major disasters, anywhere in the world – the tsunamis, earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes, fires, drought – have brought out the best in compassionate human behaviour. To be truly caring, we also must take seriously the warnings of the scientists who tell us that human activity is causing increasingly destructive weather. Let us heed and change our ways before there is no turning back!
Dear Editor: I am a pedestrian. I use the lovely Camrose walking trails regularly. I also choose walking as a mode of transportation. I walk to and from work almost every day, and often walk to do errands over my lunch break. I do this for my own well-being, but suspect I am also contributing to the well-being of the community and, indeed, the world
by choosing not to drive all of the time. I realize not everyone can walk to work. I live close by and am reasonably healthy. But I suspect many more people can than do. I am surprised and often dismayed by the number of singledriver-no-passengers vehicles that pass me by. To the driver who sped through a red light shortly after 8:00 a.m. on July 3, at the intersection of 48 Avenue and Mt. Pleasant Drive – you know who you are and that I had the right of way to cross. To all of the drivers who speed through red lights, you know who you are. Please stop! This is dangerous driving. You could kill somebody one day. I won't stop being a pedestrian. Correction: I won't stop being a careful pedestrian. It is a healthy choice and certainly suits my one-car family's budget. I just
had to get this off of my chest. Bad driving has been bugging me for a long, long time because I witness it at least twice every day that I walk to work – at least once on the way there and at least once on the way home. In fact, I was inspired to write today not just by the bad driver in the red car. I was also inspired by JoyAnne Murphy's letter to The Booster on July 2, in which she politely encouraged people to keep their dogs on leashes while using our lovely trails. Thanks so much for that letter, Joy-Anne. As you pointed out, there are off-leash areas where dogs can run freely, as they surely need to do. We can all share the trails and the roads with greater safety and enjoyment if we respect one another a little bit more and adjust our own use a tad. Margaret Holliston Camrose
New council needs balance By Ron Pilger, Camrose
I made the trip to our temporary City Hall facility to pay my property taxes. En route I passed some of our community's remarkable 55 kilometres of walking trails and a multitude of City employees busy hand-pulling weeds and mowing. Next, the relatively new $5.3 million Fire Hall. Then, two police cars and the photo radar truck. I remind myself that we live in a very safe and beautiful community. I drive by the $4.5 million Community Field House. Then the massive recreation complex (formerly sponsored as the Edgeworth Centre). Unfortunately, City officials cannot afford to fund year-round ice surface(s) in the $31 million facility. Result: local athletes are forced to skate in Sherwood Park during the spring and summer months. To the east sits a giant crane at the site of the new Preforming Arts Centre. I silently wonder how our local ballet clubs, theatre groups and others in the precious arts community will be able to pay the per-diem rate of an $18 million centre. I ask myself, will the facility come in on budget and who will step up to cover these costs should this project run out of money before the work is complete? Is there a major corporate sponsor ready to be publicly announced as the white knight ready to accept responsibility for the millions still, slowly, being raised locally for this exciting complex? My journey took me past the dated Public Works Building. Reportedly, we will soon be building a new $10 million dollar facility. Noticeable on this trek is a disproportionate number of new, private businesses. I ponder the reason(s) Camrose is seemingly passed over for opportunities in industry, technology and manufacturing. I conclude
it is imperative Camrose has to maximize efforts for business diversity. A bright future for our city includes retaining our high school and university students who need interesting and well-paying career options. It’s critical that the City eliminate slow and unreasonable hoops impeding entrepreneurs' and developers' decisions to include Camrose in their plans and projects. Our building season is short – patience even shorter! On Main Street, I pass the Bailey Theatre. I recognize the City has a vested financial interest in keeping this honorable project alive. I hope those behind the non-profit society
Opinion can somehow pull off the seemingly impossible. My continuing route takes me past the sixty-year-old City Hall – the site of what will soon be a spectacular new $18.25 million facility. I understand that more space is needed to conduct the affairs of the City. Very soon this current, largely brick structure will be shown no mercy by the wrecking ball. I marvel as I catch myself thinking that in much of Europe a building of this age might be considered “brand new!” Now at the interim City Hall I think back to the day the seniors of our community opened the doors to a building that would proudly be exclusively theirs. Today, despite a gem of a location, its condition is far less than pristine. After years of inadequate resources the building shows the strain of a very hard and challenging existence. To the counter I head, tax statements in hand. Cheques written. My decision to live in
Camrose comes with a premium price. I read a story in the print media recently pertaining to local tax levels. I strongly disagree with some of the contents. My research, obtained from Alberta Municipal Affairs, shows that in 2012, Camrosians paid the fourth highest residential taxation rates in the province. As a community, are we living "beyond our means?" Will our various recent public projects, unmatched with new corresponding levels of industry and business, have additional implications for local taxpayers in the years ahead? What happens when interest rates rise? When maintenance and operational costs increase on these structures? What happens if we cannot solicit new or adequate sponsorship money for our various high profile projects? What happens if some unthinkable provincial disaster happens (as an example a $5 billion flood in an aptly named city – High River) and provincial government representatives are forced to divert the future M.S.I. money stream Camrose decision makers are counting on so heavily? As citizens, we need to think ahead to fall elections now. I suggest we need to elect a mayor and council that bring renewed balance from the right and left sides. We need increased financial due diligence on every project ahead. The future of Camrose could be considered a bit cloudy, a bit uncertain. Cities our size, and some much bigger in the U.S., have failed due to spending that has gotten out of hand. Increased business-like thinking, and additional spending prudence will be necessary to keep us from travelling on that trip–predictably a bumpy, pothole filled road. (Pun not necessarily intended).

Some of Camrose’s most experienced gardeners are opening their private gardens for viewing and additionally, there will be a tour of the Station’s miraculous gardens, guided by Station gardener Glenys Smith. There is opportunity to question and learn from these skilled horticulturists as well as explore many gardening and landscaping styles. The accompanying Victorian luncheon, served in the Railway Station Tea Room and King George Room, will consist of many excellent heritage recipes that are a trademark of the heritage site.

Local pride shines on Canada Day
Music, fun and games were part of the Canada Day celebrations on the grounds of Camrose and District Centennial Museum July 1. Photos clockwise from top left: Connie Burfield, from the Red Hat Society, showed her patriotic spirit by wearing a Canada hat and waving a Canadian flag. The Camrose Army and Air Cadets were part of the opening ceremonies at 11 a.m. Four-year-old Levon Lewsaw had a decoration painted onto his arm. Alex Oliver bagpiped officials onto the stage during the opening ceremonies. Sandra McLay used a chalkboard to teach a lesson at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum schoolhouse. Pepperland, a Beatles tribute band, provided entertainment during the afternoon. Lois Sperry displays one of her quilts during the community sale. Tim Harwill performed a varied selection of country tunes.

Bailey Theatre busy during summer months By Murray Green
The Bailey’s Buckaroos are back for more monthly shows. In the summer, the shows will be on the last Sunday of the month beginning at 2 p.m. In the fall, the band will go back to the third Sunday for regular events. The Buckaroos feature local artists such as Dan Olofson, Stan Kontek, Norm Taylor, Rudy Famulak, Jordan Leden and Curtis Bessette who play old-fashioned country and western music. The group also has special guests such as Chris Fisher, Don Dubitz, Cory Vanderjagt, Jessica Doste, Myra Marshall, Arne Mack and Hal Strudwick. A new event called Five Dollar Fridays started in July. The classic rock sounds of Sideways perform on July 12; the high energy band Tabasco Cat plays on July 19 and the soulful Jenie Thai goes on stage on July 26. Folk legend Valdy, a veteran of the guitar and piano, entertains at the Bailey on July 13 at 8 p.m. He recorded his first solo album, Country Man, in 1972 and soon became Canada’s
second most popular folk singer (behind Gordon Lightfoot). The Open Door and Camrose Country Opry are partnering to present a gospel show. An Evening of Gospel Music will be led by Harry Rusk and Don Bouvette on July 20 for a 7 p.m. show. It will be a freewill offering. Long overdue
Those of you who caught The Overdue Blues Band performing during Tuesday Bluesday, or at The Frozen Rose Blues Festival in February will be happy to know the band is returning due to popular demand. The high energy blues band will be back on July 27. The Overdue Blues Band has received much praise, and is gaining a growing fan base in Edmonton, Calgary and Camrose. Currently, the band is hard at work writing material for a new album. Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office on Main Street, or online at www.baileytheatre. com. The new hours are noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

Air Cadet annual review
(and other fun times)
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Retired Major Bill Hart and past president of the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, left, presented the Legion Medal of Excellence to Flight Sgt. Alex Hansen of the 644 Cougars.

Axemen in hunt for playoff spot By Murray Green The Camrose Axemen crushed the Edmonton Warriors 9-1 to move into fourth place in the North Central Alberta Baseball League. The top four teams qualify for the league playoffs, a position that the Axemen found themselves in last year when they made a run for the title. First baseman Brett Harke had a perfect night at the plate by going four for four with three RBIs. J.J. Straker chipped in with three hits as the Axemen pounded out 13 hits in the July 2 contest.
Pitching ace Cory Martz threw six innings to improve his record to 4-0 in league play. He allowed one run on five hits and three walks, while striking out nine batters. Dennis Landraiult pitched the last inning in relief. The next home game for Camrose on Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park is on July 10 beginning at 7:15 p.m. against the Sturgeon Paladins. Powerline league Three recent victories have put the Armena Royals in first place in the Powerline Baseball League.
Armena edged Beaumont 13-11 in extra innings, they shut out Ryley 6-0 and the Royals beat the Bardo Athletics 5-3 on July 2. Armena is in first, one point ahead of the Leduc Milleteers. The Camrose Roadrunners dropped a 7-2 game to the Holden Blue Jays on June 27, but turned around and beat them 6-3. They have a rainout game with Bardo to play. On July 11, the Leduc Milleteers are in Bardo, the Royals are at the Beaumont Angels, and the Ryley Rebels visit the Camrose Roadrunners.

Quilting from the Heart receives national recognition By Dan Jensen
Roger and Ardelle Kerr, owners of Quilting from the Heart.
Quilting from the Heart in Camrose is the recipient of some much deserved national recognition. The 13-year-old business, owned by Ardelle and Roger Kerr, is currently being featured in the summer issue of The Canadian Quilter, a quarterly magazine published by The Canadian Quilters' Association. It's a magazine that is seen by almost everyone who belongs to the Canadian Quilters' Association," said Ardelle. "It's filled with up-todate information about shows, as well as quilting projects that readers might wish to try." Ardelle was surprised when she received a call from the magazine saying Quilting from the Heart had been chosen. "The person introduced herself as the new writer of the magazine's shops section and said she would like to do an interview," said Ardelle. The feature includes a description of the store, advice from Ardelle for quilters who are just getting started, and five colour photos. Ardelle takes time to stress the importance of building relationships with customers through blogs,
newsletters and a website, as well as social media sites like facebook. The feature has received many positive comments from those who are familiar with the business. "People come up to us and say they saw us," said Ardelle. "For us it is pretty neat to open a national publication and see pictures of our business." The Kerrs are hoping the feature will have the impact of drawing customers not just from the immediate trading area but beyond. "We are selling more patterns by the United States designer Judy Neimeyer than any other store across Canada," said Ardelle, "so we are, of course, hoping that this (magazine feature) helps to feed the growth in that area." Quilting from the Heart is the example of what happens when someone follows his or her dream. "I came home from work one day (she was teaching quilting to the general public and at The Sewing Center) and said I wished I could start a quilting store," said Ardelle. "The response from Roger was very positive, and we started putting together a solid business plan. We kept telling ourselves it was something we could grow and build together."
The business became so successful that the Kerrs decided to sell their dairy operation and have Roger join the business full time. "Things have worked out very well in the five years he has been here," said Ardelle. "Having a male influence here has put a whole new twist on things. At first customers thought it was a bit strange (because most of them are women), but now they just love him. He is very mathematically inclined so he can help them figure out all their questions about sizes and amount of material that is required. He also has a good eye for colour, and is able to express an opinion to customers who are making a quilt for their sons, husbands or fathers." Ardelle is always amazed at when she looks back and sees how much her business has grown. "I never dreamed that we would reach the stage where we are shipping parcels all over the country," she said. "My customers tell me that no matter where they go, when they say they are from Camrose they get asked questions about 'a great quilt shop'. It is pretty neat to realize we have a reputation that stretches so far from home."

Minor baseball fields seven strong teams By Murray Green
Camrose Minor Ball will be sending seven teams into the summer competitive season of Baseball Alberta playoffs. "We have a lot of good teams in baseball this year," said Eric Burton, on behalf of minor ball. "We have strong numbers in the lower age groups of rookie, learn to play and rally cap, so we are in a good position to have some good teams in the future as well." The mosquito Cougars Royals coached by Bob Charchun hosted a qualifying tournament as teams battle for spots at the Tier 1 provincials. "We beat Okotoks 4-3 and the Edmonton Angels for a record of 2-0," explained coach Bob. "We are also playing St. Albert. The best team in Tier 2 will be moving up for provincials." Scott Sitler is coaching the mosquito Cougars Reds in the Tier 3 or 4 division. The peewee Cougars Royals led by coach Darryl Zimmer are competing in the Tier 1 category. "We are 9-4 in the tiering games," said manager Barry Phillips. "We are in the top three, so we should qualify for provincials. We lost to Okotoks and they have a good team as well. The provincials are on July 26 to 28, but it could be in St. Albert or Okotoks." Camrose defeated Sherwood Park 10-0 on July 2 at Kin Park in a close game until the fourth inning. The Cougars led 2-0 after three and a half innings, but Camrose scored four runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to break the game wide open. Pitcher Jake Gusse gave up
only two hits and three walks, while striking out seven. Conrad Phillips and Derek Zimmer led the offence with two hits and two RBIs each. Carson Weins chipped in with a triple, scored three runs and added two walks in support. Coach Brian Hoglund is guiding the peewee Cougars Red squad in Tier 3 or 4. "We started off slow, but have a 6-3 record in the last few weeks. We beat St. Albert 15-5 and Barrhead 15-6 and lost 13-11 to Red Deer last weekend," informed coach Brian. The vast improvement gives the team a 6-9 record and should keep them in Tier 3. "We have had a ton of improvement because the players have a good, positive attitude," he added. The Darrell Heck coached bantam club in the Tier 1 division is currently 20-0 and is making a bid to host provincials on the July 26 to 28 weekend. "We started with a good team and we have had good pitching with 10 of the 11 players pitching. We are also a good hitting and fielding team, so we think we can stay with the good teams," said Darrell. The squad is 27-1, losing only to a triple-A club in a tournament final. "We might challenge them again during our break before provincials. We went 4-0 last weekend and the teams to beat in our division are Strathmore, Olds and Acme." The team has one more tiering game left prior to provincials. Camrose hosts Strathmore on July 11 at 6:30 p.m. Camrose is focusing on winning provincials and returning to westerns. "We
Williams garners lefthanders' golf black jacket By Murray Green
Steve Williams regained his championship title after capturing the Camrose Lefthanders' Classic at the Camrose Golf Course on June 21. The tournament featured 83 lefthanders from across the province. "We had a sunny day and a good tournament. We had 70 golfers last year, so we were happy to have more this year. We had 90 registered, but some couldn't make it for whatever reason," said organizer Lorne Broen. "Our tournament was thought of fairly highly by all of the participants." Defending champion Steve Williams fired a 76 to win the 25th annual tournament. "Steve shot a 73 last year, so he was three strokes off, but he was still the best golfer in the tournament," added Lorne. "He received a black jacket from Duff Layton's Men's Wear and the championship trophy for winning." Brad Syson won the first flight with a 77, Tim Green was the top second flight golfer with a 78 score, Kevin Meyer received the third flight honours after shooting an 83 and David Sheets was the fourth flight winner with an 89. Brian Northey won the fifth flight with a 92 total, Steven
Trautman claimed the sixth flight with a 96 score, seventh flight Jason Kushnerick was the top seventh flight golfer with a 93, Gary Crani earned the eighth flight with a 92, Graham Samycia shot a 94 as the ninth flight winner and Joe Kozoriz had the top score in the 10th flight with a 97. "We were happy with the media coverage. Global television came down and interviewed pro Bill Penny and myself and it was shown twice on Friday night and again on Sunday morning," said Lorne. McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet GMC donated a car for a hole in one contest, but it went unclaimed. All flight winners received a plaque from Doug Zarski of Zarski's Body Shop. "Last year we switched from the first Wednesday in July to June because people were anxious to go on holidays, so we accommodated them. We may have lost a couple of teachers, but it has worked out well," Lorne said, who has chaired the tournament for the past 22 years. Some proceeds from the tournament will be donated to charities. The organizing crew hasn't finalized the amount or where the funds will be going yet.
pretty much have the same team from two years ago when we went to westerns," said Darrell. "It would be nice to go to Swift Current for westerns." The bantam Cougars Reds squad is coached by Doug Schoenknecht in either the Tier 3 or 4 division. "We started out at 4-2, but lost three games last weekend against some tough teams that dropped down a tier. We lost to Peace River twice and they have some better pitching. Our last two games in Red Deer will decide if we are Tier 3 or 4," said Doug. We only have three second year bantams, so it is a learning process and the boys will be stronger at provincials and for next year." The midget club is coached by Lee Palmer and has posted an impressive 12-2 record. "We should finish in first or second place with Lacombe," said coach Lee. "We have had a very good season and I'm confident that if we play an entire seven innings each game, we can be one of the teams to beat in provincials." The team will be playing some exhibition games to prepare for provincials on July 26 to 28.

Rose and Lily show set for July 18
Albert Millard November 23, 1930 – May 23, 2013
Submitted by Cathie Bartlett
For years one of the highlights of summer in Camrose has been the Rose City Rose and Lily Show and Tea. The Camrose and District Horticultural Society is always proud to host this popular event and even more so this year. That's because this year's show – set for July 18 at the Masonic Hall – also celebrates the society's 100th anniversary. The public is invited to join in marking this milestone, so come on out to the Masonic Hall between 2 and 7 p.m. and be part of the festivities. You're welcome to linger as long as you like over the entries and who the winners are in the various classes. Then stop for a cup of tea and a few pastries, "and a piece of our anniversary cake," says Nan Shute, society treasurer. The show is open to "anyone who grows roses and lilies," Shute says. Entries must be in between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on the 18th for judging before the show opens. There are numerous classes for roses and lilies, as well as artwork, crafts and photography themed on either of the two blooms. Prizes will be presented at 7 p.m. The society has sponsored annual horticultural shows, including flower shows, since 1972. Over time, roses became more prominent. "Later on lilies were added to the rose show." As for the beginning of the Camrose and District Horticultural Society, that happened when a group of Camrose residents interested in horticulture got together in 1913. Three years later the society formed and organized the first flower show. The first annual flower show was held in 1919. These shows, along with the development of the gardens at the Canadian Northern Railway depot in Camrose, raised the profile of horticulture in the community. The harsh times of the Depression and the demands of the war years saw the society wane; however, it was reorganized in 1964. Since then, Camrose and District Horticultural Society has become very much a part of the community. Every spring society members prune the roses at the Bill Fowler Visitor Information Centre and the Memorial Rose Garden along Mirror Lake, and tend the courtyard at Rosehaven Care Centre all summer. Come springtime there's the annual plant sale at the farmers' market, when members offer low-priced slips and cuttings to the public. The society also keeps in contact with the Heritage Railway Station and Park, a support that is much appreciated says Glenys Smith, who runs the park with husband Bruce. So mark your calendar and head over to the Rose City Rose and Lily Show and Tea July 18 at the Masonic Hall, at 5021-48 Street. For more information on the show contact Diane Howes at 780-672-9329 or Bobbi Vaillancourt at 780-672-9343.

Albert died peacefully in St. Mary’s Hospital at the age of 83. Pre-deceased is his longtime companion Donna. He leaves behind two biological children; and another family he came to love, Donna and her five children Laurie, Duane, Tammy, Rob and Rick. He will always be remembered for his kind, generous and forgiving soul. Al will also be known for his knack of storytelling – true or false, the stories were always entertaining. It was heartwarming to see him with his grandchildren – his eyes would light up as he engaged their imaginations with lively tales. He worked on the farm for many years. Al was a hard worker all through his life. He could tune up a tractor with a strong arm, then fix a toaster with whatever gadget he could rustle up from the shed. Al had a soft spot for animals too. Rescued stray dogs were welcomed with a gentleness for which he was known. Al was the dearest of souls. Words cannot express the enormity of our loss. Dad, you are forever in our hearts.

A subsequent investigation led to the seizure of a personal quantity of marihuana in the youth’s possession as well. The male was released to appear in Camrose Youth Court on these matters. A 27-year-old male has been arrested and charged with Uttering Threats and Mischief, after police were called to a residence in the area of 57 Street and 42 Avenue Monday morning. It was determined that the male offender had uttered threats to another male and subsequently kicked in the male’s bedroom window. On the evening of June 30, police received a report from a patron at a local licensed premises that when he stepped away from a Video Lottery Terminal for a moment, someone had cashed out all of his credits and stole the ticket from the machine. Police were able to develop a male and female as suspects for this offence and in the afternoon hours of July 1, arrested both the male and female at a residence in Camrose. The female was charged with Theft and Possession of Stolen Property and the male was charged with Theft and numerous breach related offences. The VLT ticket was also recovered at the female’s residence. Court

A male reported that sometime between Saturday morning and Sunday morning, his white 2007 Ford F-150 truck was stolen while parked in the city’s east end. The truck was equipped with a slip tank and also has a wooden box liner. Inside the truck were various tools and a construction radio as well. A 50-year-old Camrose man has been arrested and charged as a result of a theft investigation that was reported to police on June 24. The police investigation determined that the male was responsible for stealing a licence plate off of a vehicle that was parked in the downtown core and then affixing it onto another vehicle that had no registration or insurance, and operating the vehicle while disqualified from doing so. The stolen licence plate was subsequently recovered, and the male was charged with Theft, Possession of Stolen Property, Drive while Disqualified, and Operating a Motor Vehicle with no insurance or registration. A resident in the area of 42 Avenue and 65 Street reported that sometime overnight, his parked vehicle had been entered and his wallet had been stolen. Further checks by the property owner revealed that one of the credit cards in his wallet had been used by the offender as well. Subsequent investigation into the matter revealed that a male youth was responsible for
this theft as well as the theft and unlawful use of another resident’s credit card on June 25 as well. The youth was consequently charged with two counts of Theft, two counts of Unlawful Use of a Credit Card, one count of Possession of Stolen Property, and two counts of Breach of Probation. A 23-year-old male was charged with being Intoxicated in a Public Place after he was subject to a disturbance complaint received by police in the area of 53 Street and 46 Avenue early Monday morning. June 30
A female reported that sometime in the overnight hours, her Hyundai Entourage vehicle was entered and her purse was stolen. In the early morning hours of June 29, police were conducting patrol duties and came across a suspicious male riding a bicycle in the area of 48 Avenue and 56 Street. Upon spotting police, the male attempted to flee from police and in the process, discarded a bag containing a large amount of change and a subwoofer. Police subsequently apprehended the 28-year-old male near Mirror Lake and determined that the male was responsible for stealing the subwoofer and money from a vehicle that was parked along 47 Avenue. The stolen property was returned to the owner of the vehicle, and the male was lodged into cells and charged with theft and possession of stolen property. The male was later brought before a Justice of the Peace and remanded into custody.

Stroke Recovery Association celebrates second anniversary By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association celebrated its second anniversary with a barbecue at the Camrose Fire Hall June 27. "We're just trying to create greater awareness of what we do," said Stroke Recovery Association facilitator Kim Fischbach. "There are still many people who have suffered strokes who don't know what help and support is available." The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association has 12 members – stroke survivors and their families – who gather at the Camrose Fire Hall the second Tuesday of every month during the lunch hour to share information about their lives and plan activities which include barbecues, bowling and visits to the corn maze. "We stress the importance of staying mobile," said facilitator Sandra McLay. "Often people who have had stroke, especially men, have a tendency to want to sit at home and watch TV or play video games. They have a hard time re-integrating into the things that they once enjoyed doing. "One of our pet sayings is 'if you don't use it you will lose it'." The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association isn't just for the elderly.
City councillor Earle Berry proclaims June as Stroke Month in Camrose. Stroke is an emergency and a brain attack which can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of race, gender or age. Every ten minutes someone in Canada has a stroke – that's about 50,000 every year – and today, approximately 315,000 Canadians are living with the effects of stroke. Recognizing the symptoms of stroke and acting immediately to get medical attention can save a life and limit disabilities. Others in the photo are: (left to right) Bev Decore, chair of the Stroke Recovery Association of Alberta, Sandra McLay, facilitator with the Camrose Stroke Recovery Association, Heather Hillis, recreational therapist with Alberta Health Services, Kim Fischbach, facilitator with the Camrose Stroke Recovery Association, and Margaret Applegate, stroke survivor.
"Some of us are very young and some of us are very old, because stroke is something that can happen to anyone, including babies," said McLay. The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association was initiated as
a pilot project by the Alberta Provincial Stroke Strategy. "We knew there had been a lot of work done here in Camrose but that there was not a peer led group," said Alberta Health Services recreational therapist
Heather Hills, "so we put an advertisement in the paper to see if anyone was interested in being a part of this and it was answered by Sandra." The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association is currently
working to start a support program for stroke patients at St. Mary's Hospital. "We would like to go immediately to patients there who have had a stroke to help alleviate some of their fears," said McLay. "We know that having a stroke is a very frightening experience because you don't know what is happening to yourself. You can't walk, you can't talk and you can't move. Your husband or your wife or your caregiver don't know what is going on and the information is sometimes pretty hard to come by." Strokes are like fingerprints in that no two are the same. Some strokes occur when the flow of blood to the brain is interrupted, whereas others are caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the brain. How well a patient recovers depends on the type of stroke and on how much of their brain was damaged, which parts were affected and the state of their health prior to the stroke. The Camrose Stroke Recovery Association is one of seven peer support groups of its kind located across the province. More information about the association, or assistance with transportation to meetings is available by calling Sandra at 780-608-6141, Brenda at 780672-6426, or Kim at 780-6081909.

Ford Mustang
The 2014 models better than ever
By Dan Jensen The newest Ford Mustang is one of those vehicles that will take your breath away. Ford Mustangs are available in ten different models for 2014: the V6, V6 premium, V6 convertible, GT, V6 premium convertible, GT premium, GT convertible, and GT premium convertible. Performance you would expect Mustang's 5.0 litre engine pays homage to the original 5.0, delivering 420 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. The powerplant features twin independent variable camshaft timing, an aluminum engine block and cold-air induction to help improve power. But that's only for starters. The 5.0 also has a compression ratio of 11:1 and a cylinder head designed to optimize airflow. Every part under the hood, including the high-energy coil on-plug design, is engineered to work in harmony. This lets the muscular engine breathe efficiently and deliver 100 per cent exhilaration every time you hit the gas. And then there's the exhaust – delivering a distinctive throaty roar. The 3.7 litre V6 (the most powerful V6 in Mustang history) offers an impressive 305 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,500 rpm. The six-speed manual and the available six-speed SelectShift automatic transmissions deliver sporty, smooth-shifting performance, with responsive lowend torque and impressive fuel economy in the high overdrive gear. SelectShift allows drivers to manually upshift or downshift the transmission without using the clutch. Engine-speed matching helps provide fast and smooth downshifts. All Mustangs feature a fail-safe cooling system that is designed to help protect the engine from potential damage due to loss of coolant. If the engine overheats it will switch from normal all-cylinder operation to alternating-cylinder operation. The non-powered cylinders act as air pumps to cool the powered cylinders. The AdvanceTrac stability enhancement system with launch control integrates the brakes, electronic power assisted steering, traction control and powertrain control, this system ensures smooth, consistent starts for all driving conditions. Choose from eight settings to allow precise adjustment based on the driving conditions and the environment. The driver receives clear feedback via the in-dash LCD screen to monitor
the state of the vehicle. This system can assist drivers of all skill levels to realize ideal torque balance, maximum grip and consistent acceleration. With all that power you'll want brakes that are up to the task. Dual-piston front brake calipers provide excellent pedal feel with low effort. Mustang V6 vented front discs are 315 mm in diameter. Serious attitude
Every inch of Mustang expresses serious attitude. The front end features a functional front air splitter. High-intensity discharge headlamps and three-barsequential taillamps with light-emitting diodes are standard on all models. Gloss black applique completes the rear look. The "hockey stick" sidelines, sharp-creased power dome hood and prominent rear haunch make Mustang appear ready to leap into action. New exterior colours for 2014 include Ruby Red and Oxford White. A sense of freedom comes alive with the option to put the top down and let the elements inside. Ford engineers heighten the experience, thanks to a design that helps give the Mustang convertible a solid feel. New technology Under the hood, under the skin or in the cabin, Mustang features an impressive list of high-tech features. The available Trac Apps give you performance metrics – everything from acceleration times to g-force measurements. Available SYNC lets you activate your phone, music and more, and the available navigation system with integrated Sirius XM Traffic and Sirius XN Travel Link provides directions, traffic alerts and gas prices.
Selectable electronic power assisted steering adjusts to deliver precise responses at high speeds and eases maneuverability at slower speeds when needed. You'll have the choice of standard, sport or comfort settings. Dan Madison Available voice-activated Lamb Ford Sales technology helps you keep your eyes on the road and stay connected to your world. Mustang gives you a clear view when you are backing up with the available rear view camera. A video image is displayed in the rear view mirror or on the navigation system screen. The screen image includes coloured guides to give the driver a better perspective of the vehicle's centre point and periphery. Comfort The Mustang cockpit blends world-class craftsmanship with premium materials. A seamless, softtouch skin wraps the one-piece instrument panel. The front console runs in a smooth, flat arc for precise shifting. For added support, you can choose available racing-inspired RECARO cloth or leather-trimmed seats with integrated airbags. The available Shaker audio system with HD radio technology delivers an impressive audio performance. Available ambient lighting glows in your choice of seven colours to match your moods. For an added touch, V6 premium and GT premium models include aluminum interior accent panels. Interior storage includes a lockable centre floor console featuring dual cupholders and handy spaces for small items. The premier trim with colour accent package provides the appeal of exquisite custom detail for each leather-trimmed bucket seat. Seat colour/stitching choices include: charcoal black/grabber blue accent, charcoal black/cashmere accent, and brick red/cashmere accent.

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.

Freeman-Fox concert slated for Scalliwags By Jane Cherry-Lemire Chuck MacLean Arts Centre Camrose Arts Society is proud to present Jaron Freeman-Fox and his fiery band The Opposite of Everything on July 17, starting 8 p.m. at Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar. Jaron’s show is part of a series of acts that the Camrose will be presenting over the next year. This series is made possible partially through a grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. Some shows will take place at Scalliwags and some will take place at the Bailey Theatre. This is not the first time Jaron will be entertaining in Camrose but he will be performing to a bigger audience this time. Jaron was part of the Home Routes Concert Circuit for which Camrose was a host in April of this year. Home Routes Concerts provide an opportunity for local residents to host a concert in their home and invite friends, family and co-workers. Usually the audiences are around 30 people. Jaron was travelling with only a couple of other musicians for his last show here but will
have a full band this time. We enjoyed Jaron so much that we have invited him back. Jaron hails from Ontario and is regularly on tour. An original artist Jaron is known for “contorting the violin into new traditions while he dances down the fine line between the beautiful and the ridiculous, while redefining what the violin can do.” His biography states that he has produced or played on over 40 albums and has toured the world many times over as solo artist, frontman or collaborator with bands such as Delhi 2 Dublin, the David Woodhead Confabulation and Ben Caplan. FreemanFox fuses his roots of Celtic and bluegrass fiddling with his study of Indian classical music and jazz. Check him on line. The Opposite of Everything are said to “transform FreemanFox’s intricate compositions into an infectious party!” Tickets for this event are available at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre or at the door while quantities last. For more information please call Jane at 780-672-9949.
CFEP GRANT
Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson presented a CFEP grant for $4,086 to Loyal Order of the Moose treasurer Tom Niven. The grant will be used to upgrade the Moose Lodge facility.
Having a hoot with Beaverhill Observatory By Samara Froland, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer coordinator Silence filled the Stoney Creek Centre as the crowd listened to the calls of owl species in Alberta. On Thursday, July 4, Roberto-Charron from Beaverhill Bird Observatory performed an owl presentation for the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society (CWSS). Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society hosted its 6th environmental educational event of the summer. The executive director for BBO took the crowd on a simulated “Owl Prowl” in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Roberto-Charron shared some unique characteristics of owls that differentiate them from other birds. She shared the fact that similarly to humans, owls have forward facing eyes, called binocular eyes. “They have exactly twice as many neck vertebrae as humans,” said Roberto Charron. She explained how this allows owls to turn their necks 270 degrees to make up for their fixed eye sockets. Roberto-Charron used the term “zygodactyl” to describe the
structure of owl feet, with two toes in the front and two toes in the back. These birds have asymmetrical ears, which allow them to judge distance more accurately. “Owls have adaptive feathers by their beaks that act as feelers. They are similar to cat whiskers,” said Roberto-Charron. The BBO employee explained that these feelers are necessary, because owls have far-sighted vision. The presentation focused on Albertan species, specifically the longeared owl, the great grey owl and the northern saw-whet owl. RobertoCharron shared the key characteristics of each of these species. Roberto-Charron spends most of her time at BBO banding birds. “We take feather samples for isotopic analyses. We can compare these analyses to geolocator data to see where the birds have been,” said Roberto-Charron. On July 11, CWSS welcomes TV icon Josh Classen, the meteorologist for CTV Edmonton News. He will be presenting on the topic of extreme weather at 7 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre. For more information contact Samara at 780-672-0544.

Olson praises Ag Societies
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL for a Photographer for a Minor Hockey Association
By Dan Jensen
Minister of Agriculture Verlyn Olson is pleased with how agricultural societies have been responding to the recent flooding disaster. "If you ever needed a good argument as to why we maintained their funding you just have to look at how they have been helping in communities across southern Alberta," said Olson last week. "In a lot of cases it is their facilities that emergency measures are being run from and in which people are sleeping and being fed. It is the members of the ag societies that are the volunteers that are doing a lot of the work. I have always felt that ag societies are the glue that holds community together." Olson said he was very much on edge when the first reports of flooding came in, thinking of all the devastation that was possible in terms of agriculture. "My department was on high alert and I was getting lots of reports. The temptation was to get down there and have a look around but I am not so sure that would have been the best thing to do because the emergency responders were busy doing what they needed to be doing and touring me around was not a top priority." Olson had an opportunity to fly over the flooded areas. "It was beautiful green and lush looking but you could see where the waters had washed over. High River was completely under water and was in a completely different situation than most other places I saw." One of the greatest concerns for the department of agriculture was the irrigation infrastructure. "We came very close to the Bassano and the Carsland being compromised," said Olson. "Had that happened it would have been a huge cost. It would have been a huge blow to our irrigation capac-

ity and in southern Alberta that is some of our most productive land in terms of what they are able to produce. There was some damage at Carsland but not catastrophic damage. What it could have done to our capacity for perhaps years could have been really bad." Olson said a concern at the Cargill feedlot two km north of High River was the supply of potable water. "They go through about two million gallons of water a day and need that potable water to process beef. If they can't get that water they have to shut down, which backs up all of our feedlots and all of our producers. We went through a whole bunch of
work with environment and also with Cargill to bring up filtration systems from Texas, and were going to pipe up water from Tongue Creek, which is about a mile away, but as of yesterday the town was able to get its system up and running. Cargill is up and running and today they expect to process about 4,000 animals." Olson said he is pleased with the way that all Albertans have responded to the disaster. "They have just rolled up their sleeves and shown up. Even in my own department I know I have staff taking holiday time and days off to go down there. That is happening in communities across the province."

7-Eleven giving away 1,500 Slurpees July 11 By Dan Jensen
The Camrose 7-Eleven convenience store will be giving away 1,500 free 12-ounce slurpees (while supplies last) this Thursday, July 11. "As a thank you to its customers for years of loyal Slurpee drinking, 7-Eleven is serving nearly three-quarters of a million free cups of 12-ounce Slurpee
drinks at its stores across the country," explains Peak Communications Ltd. spokesperson Sara McCornick. "That's over double the amount of Slurpees than previous years. In fact, the difference is equivalent to the amount of fuel it takes for a ten-hour flight on a Boeing 747." The much-anticipated give-
away is one of the largest of its kind in Canada. It marks not only more than four decades of growth in the country but also the (7-Eleven) brand's 86 years in existence. "We're always looking at ways in which we can do more to give back to our loyal customers," said Tim Donegan, vice president for 7-Eleven Canada. "We've been
listening to what they've been saying and the main thing is that they want more Slurpee." The Slurpee has become ingrained in the Canadian culture. Not only do we trek through heavy snow in the winter for a cup, it's also symbolic of childhood nostalgia, summer, fun and cool. Canadian celebrities are sporting them too: recent Slurpee
sightings include Justin Bieber, Michael Buble and Brent Lawrie. Everyone is sharing the Slurpee love. Based in Dallas, Texas, 7-Eleven operates franchises or licences more than 10,000 7-Eleven stores across North America. Globally, 7-Eleven has some 50,000 stores in 16 countries.
