By Dan JensenThe Augustana Cam-

pus will be consulting with its neighbours and the City of Camrose over the com-ing months regarding new low-rise housing units on the university’s land east of the soccer field.

“Augustana needs to increase the percentage of students who live on cam-pus,” said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger in his report to the community at Augustana’s spring soi-ree April 26. “Currently we are at 50 per cent. My goal for now is relatively mod-est. It is to increase that percentage to 60 per cent and to do this by creating new housing options that will be attractive to senior students.”

Augustana believes that in order to gradu-ate engaged citizens and future leaders the campus needs to be a laboratory where students regularly interact across lines of dif-ference, where they have opportunities to form meaningful friendships with a diverse set of peers, and where they learn to question the stereotypes and cultural assumptions they brought with them to university.

“If you do an environ-mental scan of the best undergraduate liberal arts and science universi-ties you will discover two things about the student bodies,” said Dean Berg-er. “First, that students primarily reside on cam-

pus. Second, that the stu-dent body itself is richly diverse.”

Wahohtowin LodgeThe Wahkohtowin

Lodge at Augustana was developed to enhance diversity by giving aborig-inal students a place to meet with an advisor or an elder, as well as share with the larger community a rich array of programs that foster relationships, develop an understanding of first nations’ cultures, promote reconciliation and work together on the broader societal changes of racism, discrimination and inequality, and degrada-tion of the land.

“Wahkohtowin Lodge,” said Dean Berger, “is a place where diverse mem-bers of our community will come together, learn from one another, and develop relationships with one another.”

Dean Berger is proud that Augustana, with an enrolment that is seven per cent aboriginal, leads all faculties in the University of Alberta, apart from the Faculty of Native Studies.

“The presence of these students helps enrich the quality of the education-al experience for all stu-dents,” he said. “It is a percentage that I hope we will continue to grow. Our ambition is also to grow.”

New fundingThe Augustana Cam-

pus has received two years of seed funding from the Office of the Provost in

Edmonton to help design and launch new certificate programs in reconciliation and decolonization.

“One of these certifi-cates will be embedded in the curriculum and avail-able to students in all majors,” said Dean Berger. “The second, which will improve participation in a series of six workshops across an academic year, will be designed more broadly. First, we hope to attract both students and employees who will expe-rience this learning jour-ney together. As we gain our footing our hope is to expand the invitation to all of you, as this work is important not only on our campus but in the larger community as well.”

Community supportAugustana is grate-

ful for the support it has received over the years from its friends in Cam-rose and area, as well as the University of Alberta and government.

“All of us are blessed by the support this campus receives from the Camrose community, which recent-ly, I am proud to report, was ranked the fifth most generous in Alberta,” said Dean Berger. “We also of course similarly ben-efit from the support of good friends throughout our surrounding region, in the executive suites on the North Campus of the University of Alberta, and within the provincial gov-ernment.”

Bashaw AngelsHearing about a project in

our East Central Alberta Town of Bashaw has lifted my spirits. I’m guessing the project also lifted the spirits of the entire Bashaw com-munity.

The projectLast October, Bashaw United

Church people began talking about what they could do to engage people of all ages in a pre-Christmas project.

They started with the theme of “random acts of kindness,” thinking of many people in

Bashaw who do kind acts quietly behind the scenes. That led to the idea of the “Angels Among Us Challenge.” They challenged their community of 800 to perform at least 100 Random Acts of Angels in 40 days. With about two weeks preparation, the cam-paign launched on November 1.

Throughout the campaign, the community was asked to report any Act of Angels they saw or received. Local businesses joined in, displaying angel cards and boxes that made it easy to report any good deed. On social media, participants tagged posts with hashtag #bashawangels. The church phone number was transformed into an Angel Hotline.

When someone reported an “angel,” the person’s name was written on a wooden angel attached to a pole and “planted” in the church yard.

The campaign culminated with Angel Fest, a multi-event community-wide celebration and fundraiser that included an Angel Fun Run and Walk, silent auction, musical production created and performed by local people, and other events.

ResultsThe church yard was filled with a forest of more than 100

angels on poles, each one representing a person known for acts of kindness. Many who posted “angels” were not members of the congregation – they were simply Bashaw citizens who appreci-ated other Bashaw citizens. During the campaign, as the number of posted angels grew, people stopped by frequently to read the names. A video shows how pumped up the community became.

The fundraiser generated about $8,000 for the church’s Community Impact Fund. The community spirit enhanced by the project is immeasurable.

A bigger storyThe “Angels Among Us” story is inspiring in itself, but it’s part

of a bigger story.It’s no secret that our rural communities are hurting. As

farms become bigger and rural populations shrink, the tax base of counties, towns and villages also shrinks. Young people move away and don’t come back. That means fewer young families with school-age children. Schools consolidate. Provincially-funded rural health services have been “restructuring” (read: “downgrad-ing”) since the mid-1990s. As the population decreases, local businesses are hard pressed to survive. With declining public and business services, communities are less appealing, even to loyal residents.

With few exceptions, that’s been the East Central Alberta pattern for a few decades. Some municipalities have had a slight cushion because of oil and gas jobs in the region. As those jobs decline, the cushion is disappearing.

Like other rural communities, Bashaw has been impacted by these forces of change.

In 2012, a few Bashaw residents took part in a workshop that inspired them to think differently about their community. Infor-mal leaders began to have different conversations. The Bashaw Angels project is an example of what can emerge from thinking of the whole community. In the past few years, some Bashaw people have noticed changes:

When local organizations are planning a project, they’re more likely to think of involving others.

Several projects have involved multiple organizations in sup-port of a cause that is bigger than any of them.

An upsurge in local theatre and musical events draws audi-ences from far beyond Bashaw.

More younger people in their thirties and forties are stepping into leadership roles.

A few Bashaw residents have created new businesses with an international customer base.

I don’t believe there’s a “quick fix” to such complex challenges as declining rural communities. I also don’t think one community’s experience can necessarily be replicated in other communities, because no other community has the unique characteristics and personalities that make change possible.

Still, the Bashaw Angels example and the bigger Bashaw story give me hope that our rural communities can replenish, building on new patterns and new opportunities. That will be good for all of us.

Opposed to endof life legislation

You can certainly count my wife Doris and I as being against assisted end of life in any form. Doris says the whole debate “makes me ill.” I agree.

We wonder where law makers get their author-ity to legislate end of life. Obviously they did not cre-ate life. They do not own life, nor therefore, are they empowered to end life.

We believe also that there is a higher power involved.

And so we believe that the mandate of the law is to protect and promote the sanctity of life, certainly not to end life.

As to “end suffering,” we understand that there is a medication to control pain.

We understand that to remove life support from

the terminally ill does not allow for a natural death.

Respectfully submitted,Bernie and Doris

Rostaing,Ohaton

Life insuranceWhen buying life insur-

ance we are instructed that, if a suicide occurs within the first two years of pur-chasing the policy, there will not be a pay out. But with the recent introduc-tion of doctor assisted death “suicide,” and the acknowl-edgement of the life insur-ance companies willingness to pay out the insurance at any time, are we heading down a slippery slope?

The increasing age of baby-boomers and mount-ing expense on the health system, which the millen-nials will be mainly respon-sible for may result in “transitioning” the non pro-ductive boomers with the MAID (medical assistance in dying) program. Since the elderly are a debit to society, why not cash in on the life insurance policies and help the economy?

Two words...Very Scary! I am sure we all are

reassured that such mea-sures will never occur...until maybe a very debt rid-den society sees a solution to their dilemma.

Not getting a 10 per cent seniors’ discount! Ha! That’s the least of our wor-ries. We will be closely

watching the pills adminis-tered to us instead.

March for LifeOn Thursday, May 12,

the National March for Life will be held in Ottawa. Several provincial capitals, including Edmonton, will also held marches on the same day. Last year over 25,000 attended the march in Ottawa and about 3,100 marched in Edmonton. No Canadian media covered either event.

The theme for this year’s march is “No Tax Money for Abortions.” Every year more than 13,000 abortions are performed in Alberta (www.arcc-cdac.ca) at an average cost of $800 each. Our provincial gov-ernment “spends” over $10 million dollars of taxpay-ers’ money for this unneces-sary medical procedure at a time when many Alber-tans do not have a family doctor. Others wait months for diagnostic tests or hip/knee replacements, and the waiting list for urgent can-cer treatment grows longer every day. Would you rather see our taxes spent on medi-cally necessary health care? If so, write to Premier Not-ley, Health Minister Sarah Hoffman and MLA Bruce Hinkley at the Legislature Building, 10800-97 Avenue, Edmonton, T5K 2B6.

By Dan JensenThe 644 Camrose Rotary

Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron is making an appeal to the community for assis-tance with a trip to Ottawa.

The squadron has been invited to be present at the National Remembrance Day ceremony this November and possibly participate in the official Remembrance Day

parade. While in Ottawa, the cadets will be visiting various sites, including the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum, and the Par-liament building, where they will be able to deepen their understanding of Canada’s history and have the values of the Air Cadet program reinforced.

“There will be about 30 people participating in this extraordinary trip and our cadets, along with their fami-lies, have made a strong com-mitment to raise the funds needed,” said Becky McCar-roll, vice-chair of the squad-ron sponsoring committee. “We are hopeful, however, that the community will consider assisting us finan-

cially in this venture as we seek to raise the remaining $15,000.”

The 644 Camrose Rota-ry Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron has been in operation in Camrose since 1957, affording many cadets the opportunity to take part in a wild class program and a wealth of opportunities.

By Murray GreenA Drive One 4UR School

Event will be held at Bawlf School to raise funds for the Bawlf Education Support Team (BEST) on Saturday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Ford Canada and Lamb Ford Sales have joined to offer test drives on different vehicles to help raise funds for future landscaping, a ball diamond, a beach volleyball court and a basketball court on the northeast side of the school grounds. The total cost of all the projects will be about $260,000.

“The goal is to provide 300 free test drives to raise a total of $6,000. Ford donates $20 per test drive to a maxi-mum of $6,000,” said Lamb Ford sales manager Brett Read, a third generation Bawlf School graduate. “In each vehicle we will have a Lamb Ford employee, but they are not there to sell vehicles. They are there to answer questions and assist with the test drives. We have had a good response from our employees.”

When Read was in Grade 6 at the Bawlf School he helped raise funds for a new playground that is still on site.

“When the new school was built there wasn’t any landscaping done, so when it is wet out children can get a little muddy,” said Read.

Going for a test drive is a good way to meet employees at Lamb Ford that you may not talk to on a regular basis.

“We are going to take 10 vehicles (a variety) to the school that day with the hope of having 30 test drives for each one, explained Lamb Ford general manager Pat Quinlan. “This is a great way to help the school raise funds as well as get a little exposure. There’s a set route that we will be using around

the school and each test drive will take about five minutes.”

Helping Bawlf School was a natural fit for Lamb Ford. “We have five or six employees who are from the Bawlf area, or have attended the school, so we saw this as a good opportunity to help a community in need,” said Quinlan.

“We are currently work-ing on an outdoor proj-ect to finish the grounds. That includes future items such as the volleyball, bas-ketball and ball diamond areas,” said BEST vice-president Shariss Piro. “Part of the funds will go to a wheelchair accessible picnic table in honour of

Garrett Langille, who passed away this year.”

Parents formed BEST to assist in funding things that are not provided by regular school budgets. “We assist with the cost of school supplies for those who can’t afford them and for field trips for students who couldn’t oth-erwise go,” said Piro.

In addition to the test drives, BEST will be holding a barbecue from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and offering face painting to children. Funds generated at the barbecue will also go towards the proj-ects.

Bawlf will also have village-wide garage sales the same weekend.

SubmittedForty-one of Canada’s

finest young choral sing-ers, representing all 10 provinces and one terri-tory, have been chosen to form the prestigious 2016 National Youth Choir of Canada (NYC), a program of Choral Canada. Every two years, singers between the ages of 18 and 25 are auditioned across the coun-try to form this exceptional choir, bringing our nation to life through song.

The choir unites on May 7 at the University of Alber-ta, Augustana Campus in Camrose for a week of challenging rehearsal and choral training, followed by an intensive week-long tour featuring several con-certs and workshops across Alberta. The first concert takes place at Augustana campus on Friday, May 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the Faith and Life Chapel. The choir

will perform “A Riveder Le Stelle!,” a concert pro-gram themed around the last lines of Dante’s Inferno, describing the ascent from the underworld to the heav-ens, with help of the ‘guide’ to see the stars again, a sto-ry which provides a wealth of sacred, secular, natural-ist and humanist perspec-tives. The title of the con-cert translates to “we again beheld the stars!” The program includes pieces by Poulenc, Mendelssohn, Ešenvalds, Allan, and new-ly commissioned Canadian works. The singers will dis-sect difficult works in five languages, including Esto-nian and German, push-ing them into new territory vocally, intellectually, and emotionally.

Initiated in 1984, the choir has won critical acclaim across Canada. Maestro Michael Zaugg will conduct the choir with assis-

tance from NYC apprentice conductor Kathleen Allan. Swiss Canadian Michael Zaugg is known for his inno-vative programming and for the diverse, colourful sound of his choirs. He is artistic director and principal con-ductor of one of Canada’s foremost professional choirs, Pro Coro Canada, based in Edmonton. He has worked with many of Canada’s most prestigious choirs, is frequently a guest conduc-tor and clinician, and has led workshops for provincial choral organizations from coast to coast. He was the first Swiss conductor to be accepted to the Royal Acad-emy of Music in Stockholm, Sweden, in its highly regard-ed post-graduate diploma for professional choir conduct-ing. Throughout this two-year program, he worked weekly with singers of the world-renowned Swedish Radio Choir and also had

the opportunity to work with Sweden’s gems – the Adolf Fredrik’s Girls Choir and the Mikaeli Cham-ber Choir. He has toured Europe and Asia with pro-fessional groups, including the Swiss Chamber Choir, the Chamber Choir of Europe, the World Cham-ber Choir, the World Youth Choir and the Stockholm Chamber Choir.

Kathleen Allan – con-ductor, composer and sopra-no – is rapidly becoming internationally respected for compelling performanc-es and engaging composi-tions. She has recently been appointed as the director of choral studies and associate conductor of orchestras at the Vancouver Academy of Music.

The 2016 NYC cho-risters will be provided with the rare opportunity to receive training from Canada’s best in the choral

industry. The hope is that the singers bring back these new skills to their home provinces and enrich their local choral communities, emerging as leaders and more highly skilled choral musicians.

As each province and territory takes its turn to host the National Youth Choir and Podium (Choral Canada’s national choral conference), it will be many years before the NYC will be back in Alberta with a new complement of top singers.

May 13 is your oppor-tunity to hear this amazing ensemble and experience the best choristers and cho-ral music Canada has to offer! For tickets and further information, contact the Augustana Fine Arts Office at 780-679-1532.

By Lori LarsenSometimes it is difficult for young children to really

show how much they appreciate those special adults in their lives, whether it be their mother, father, grandpar-ents, aunts, uncles or others.

The children of Camrose and District Pre-School were given an opportunity to do just that on April 26 dur-ing the annual Spring Tea held at 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The special guests were chosen by the pre-schoolers and invited to attend and spend a few hours at the pre-school participating in a host of fun activities.

The event began with the adult guests sitting in a circle with their little charges standing in front of them. After a quick explanation from pre-school teacher Pat Walker about the agenda, the children introduced their special guests. This was followed by the performance of three delightful songs led by teachers Walker and Kelsey Miller.

After the songs were over the children led their special guests to either a craft table where they sat together and created spring hats, the likes of which were covered in fluffy decorative balls, flowers, sparkles, ribbons and a host of other crafty decorations, or to the snack table, where together they prepared a sweet snack of strawberry shortcake.

The pre-school classroom was buzzing with excite-ment as the children and guests worked side-by-side.

The event is hosted by Camrose and District Pre-School to celebrate not only the new spring season but all that these special guests do to contribute to the growth and success of the childrens’ lives.

Lori Larsen, Camrose BoosterCamrose and District Pre-School held its annual Spring Tea for special guests on April 26. Adding some decora-tive touches to his spring time hat five-year-old Mason Banack beckoned the assistance of his grandmother Carol Dunlop during the annual spring tea held for the childrens’ special guests.

By Lori LarsenAmidst the business and

service within a community exists the deep roots of culture and the beauty of art, the com-bination of which defines its offerings. And Camrose is no exception.

In presenting the Arts and Culture Master Plan to City council members dur-ing a Committee of Whole meeting April 18, artist, entrepreneur and consultant Lisa Borin Miller provided a thorough assessment of the vision for Camrose’s arts and culture.

Determining the best plan for the direction of the City of Camrose’s arts and cul-ture was put into the hands of city citizens, arts and cul-ture providers, an ad hoc com-mittee consisting of members from City council and Miller, resulting in the creation of the Arts and Culture Master Plan.

“It is intended to do a few things,” said Miller. “Build a strong sense of identity in the community, increase com-munity awareness in arts and culture, and generate revenue.”

Information on the Arts and Culture Master Plan was obtained through interviews and public response surveys from citizens as well as arts and culture providers. Infor-mation was also gathered dur-ing a public feedback evening.

The survey asked respon-dents to describe in a word what culture meant to them. The most frequent responses were dance, creativity, visu-al arts, performing arts and community.

“Arts in Camrose is insep-arable from culture,” said Miller. “People are most con-nected to experiencing culture through the arts.”

The plan identified chal-lenges and opportunities,

including financial, budget, organization, outreach, audi-ence, space, venues, down-town Camrose, university and transportation.

Miller broke down these categories to further describe areas of concern and areas that already contribute to arts and culture in Camrose.

“The respondents that are not engaging (in arts and cul-ture) expressed that finances were a big part of why they are not participating more,” said Miller. “And subsidized or lower cost events is one of the recommendations to help peo-ple engage more frequently.”

Miller suggested the City budget could be examined to obtain a clear and comprehen-sive picture of where and how the City supports arts and culture.

“There was a significant group of people (respondents) who said they were not aware of how the City budget was

being spent,” commented Mill-er. “Another significant por-tion of people, 49 per cent, said it was inequitable.

“The majority of people who filled out the survey wanted to see an increase in City funding to arts and culture.”

Miller also indicated a need for reaching out to larg-er audiences and increasing engagement.

“Part of what people wanted to see in terms of the vision for arts and culture is for Camrose to become a des-tination city,” she said.

This may entail a bet-ter system for marketing and advertising arts and culture.

In terms of organization, Miller indicated there was an identified need for arts and culture groups to work more cohesively and mini-mize miscommunication and misinformation, which might be accomplished by improv-

ing overall collaboration, and establishing an overarching organizational group and better resources.

While an improvement to space was identified as a challenge, the venues avail-able in Camrose were seen as an asset.

“Space refers more to space for creation, an art and culture hub that offers the potential for collaboration and an arts and culture district to connect patrons and public,” explained Miller.

Downtown Camrose and the University of Alberta Augus-tana Campus were also viewed as assets to arts and culture.

“The university is a huge asset because of the potential for sharing venues such as the performing arts centre,” said Miller, “but there are even more opportunities to utilize the resources in terms of the people.”

Letters to the EditorFlawed thinkingCamrose City council

is on the verge of mak-ing property owners 100 per cent responsible for the cost of water usage of their residential ten-ants. Boiled down, our elected officials are in effect saying that collec-tively they cannot trust renters of free-standing homes to pay for the water they are using. Council-lor Max Lindstrand offers prevailing perspective with these words: “The question is who should really have the risk in this? We are suggesting we transfer the risk from the City to the landowner, and that’s probably where it belongs.” Huh? At the risk of being excessively sarcastic, should land-lords also be responsible for the upfront costs of their renter’s other con-sumables: Their grocery bills? Or charges at the dry cleaner? What about their school or sports fees for their kids? Why not – with this kind of bizarre logic? Thank goodness that Epcor, Direct Energy, Atco Gas, Bell Mobility, Lynx and many other pro-viders of service to ten-ants do not feel the need to bill non-users for the services they each pro-vide.

There is an addition-al compounding problem for rental property own-ers: Under AHS Housing Standards property own-ers must supply a con-tinuous supply of water to tenants. In other words – we cannot request water shut-off (even if we are unable to collect City water charges back from a tenant)!

So, what has pre-cipitated this interest-ing council direction? It’s $144,000 in delinquent water accounts over the past “several” years. A lot of money. Way too high and charges that should not be the responsibility of taxpayers. So, would it not be prudent to have the right department/personnel improve their skills at collecting or not extending credit in the first place? While there will inevitably always be some write-offs required – the normal cost of doing business, it would be my perspective that someone at the City may have been relatively incompetent if taxpayers are faced with this level of delinquency.

Solutions from my perspective, rather than billing me for my various tenant’s water usage:

A larger deposit when anyone opens a water account with the City. Let’s say $400. If an account becomes overdue, the City would be autho-rized to draw down the deposit. As soon as money runs out – the water gets shut off. The water comes back on when the deposit is replenished to the origi-nal amount.

If a $400 cash deposit is too lofty or not palat-able, arrange for a credit card hold. Hotels/motels do this daily as a normal course of business.

Direct withdrawal consent from bank or credit card accounts. No money – no water. I can’t eat at a restaurant if I don’t have the money. I can’t gas up my car if I don’t have the money. Water bills can and should work the same way.

Use the current bill-ing system if you wish, but be far more respon-sive when accounts are unpaid. Shut the water off. Make a call. Get a credit card number to cover the account. Tough love, in other words. If you can’t pay – you can’t use. Isn’t that real life?

Arrange for a co-signer on water accounts. That might be a landlord. Maybe it will be a family member. A friend. This system works for banks in terms of lending. If a renter cannot find some-one who believes in him or her, for their water usage, maybe the City should not be a willing partner, either. Some people may, in fact, not be ready to live or survive out on their own…

City council – you are taking an easy way out by choosing to transfer water bills into property own-er’s names. You did the same when you chose to make property owners be accountable for renter’s/tenant excess garbage tag fees after move-outs. Any of the suggestions above should also be adopted so that tenant garbage charges are not property owners’ problem going for-ward, as well.

I submit to you a hypo-thetical situation that I and other rental property owners could face....

Bearing in mind that I as a property owner can-not control water usage of a tenant, imagine this situation: I evict a ten-ant. The tenant knowing full well that the water charges are the proper-ty owner’s responsibility rather than his or hers

decides to “get even” with me for evicting him (for non-payment of rent). So for the next 30 days around the clock he leaves every tap on full in the home. He also waters the lawn 24-7. Ultimately, I get the bill for all water used. Far-fetched? After renting property for 30 years- trust me – this is a highly probable scenario.

Fellow landlords: if you agree with me, con-tact Council members and help put a stop to the next reading of this proposal.

City council mem-bers. Please re-think this game-changing policy change. Admit that the City has not done a good job of managing accounts in the past or assessing credit worthiness. Resist the route of passing the buck, or in this case the bill.

Ron Pilger,Camrose

Racing pigeonsI am in favour of

allowing residents of Camrose to keep pigeons (fancy or racing). In 1997, I started keeping pigeons in Camrose and had them until 2007.

During this time I had anywhere between 40 to 60 birds. I trained them most mornings dur-ing racing season and raced them on weekends with the Central Alberta Racing Pigeon Club. Dur-ing the winter months they were never let out. There was a small avi-ary attached to the loft and people walking down the lane would stop and watch the birds. I also noticed the handivan on more than one occasion stop to see the birds. I did not receive any com-plaints from neighbours.

I must confess, though, that when the young birds take their first flight things can get a little unpredictable. I had a neighbour from across the lane bring one of my young birds back to me that had fallen down their chimney. They told me their young daughter had come running into the kitchen saying “Mommy, Mommy there’s a chicken in the fireplace.”

I think the City should look at the by-laws of other cities before making any decision on this. Birds are birds. If the City keeps swans why can’t one keep pigeons? The Queen does (YouTube – The Queen’s Wings).

Alberta well-situated for carbon fibre productionBy Dan Jensen

Camrose resident Deanne Morrow feels it is time to start looking at oth-er uses for Alberta’s rich oil and gas reserves.

“As far as I am con-cerned our oil industry in Alberta has changed forev-er,” said Morrow, who was guest speaker at a Rotary dinner at the Best West-ern Plus Camrose Resort Casino April 11. “It is not going to be the same so let’s get over it and get on with discovering the next thing we can do.”

Morrow and her hus-band, Anthony Hladun, have made application to Cenovus Energy for tech-nological support in devel-oping carbon fibre tech-nologies, and are seeking funding from Alberta Inno-vates Technology Futures to study the feasibility of a carbon fibre processing facility.

They will also be pre-paring summaries for Pre-mier Rachel Notley and Alberta MLAs to let them know that carbon fibre pro-duction is something they should be considering.

“There are new appli-cations daily for carbon fibre world wide,” said Mor-row, who taught technical communication and public speaking at the Univer-sity of Calgary’s Faculty of Engineering and was a director of the univer-sity’s software engineering management program. “It is the most exciting thing I have ever been involved with. Every day you look on the computer and there is something new happening in the (carbon fibre) world.”

Carbon fibre is pro-duced in relatively limited quantities via pitch based and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) manufacturing processes.

“The cost of making carbon fibre out of polyac-rylonitrile is very high but pitch-based carbon fibre is cheaper and that is what we have,” said Morrow. “Alber-ta has pitch (bitumin) and Alberta has energy to turn that pitch into carbon fibre.”

Morrow and Hladun have been in conversa-tion with the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI), which has a multi-million dollar lab designed specifically to spin pitch into carbon fibre.

“The lab does experi-ments so you can test vari-ous (spinning) methods so you can get the best carbon fibre for whatever you are putting in the front end,” said Morrow. “The director of UTSI wants to work with Albertans. He thinks this is very exciting.”

The use of carbon fibre has increased rapidly over the years to the extent that total production capacity does not meet the demand. Montreal-based Texonic

spins a large number of technical fibres shipped in from the United States, while Canadian aeronauti-cal companies use carbon fibre to build airplanes or airplane parts. Pratt and Whitney has just developed a new turbo fan engine, half of which is built from car-bon fibre, and Sea Winds

Catamarans uses carbon fibre for the production of its boats.

“All these people need carbon fibre,” said Morrow. “They are importing it from around the world because we don’t have it here. No one in Canada is spinning carbon fibre.”

Morrow noted that the

Mesophase pitch fibres may also possess higher thermal and electrical conductivity, and different friction prop-erties. More details will not be known until more test-ing is done.

“Carbon fibre is half the weight of aluminum, it is five times stronger than steel, and it has very high shock absorption,” said Morrow. “It is flexible when you need it to be, will not rust or corrode ever and it is largely chemical resistant.”

Morrow presented slides showing that the frame of the new BMW i3 car, which is made of carbon fibre, is light enough that it can be lifted by two persons, and that the half of the materials in the Boeing 787 airplane are made from carbon fibre composites. Another slide pictured Yo Yo Ma with his cello that is made almost completely from carbon fibre.

“The joy of carbon fibre instruments for musicians is that they never go out of tune,” said Morrow. “You don’t have to worry about storage; it doesn’t matter if it is wet or dry, it (the instru-ment) is always going to sound the same and appar-ently the sound is crystal clear.”

Morrow said ninety per cent of paralympic athletes use carbon fibre prosthet-ics.

“The feet (prosthetics) they use are called cheetah PAWS and they store ener-gy. When you step down on them it is like stepping on a trampoline. They have give and when you take off you actually leap and jump higher than people with ordinary feet.”

Carbon fibre is being used more and more in the construction process to strengthen structures and buildings.

“If you want to make bridges strong enough to last 100 years like you have to in Britain, you can aug-ment the structure with carbon fibre,” said Morrow. “If you want to repair aging structures like bridges without having to tear them down and replace them you can use carbon fibre cables and patches. It is light and it is fast compared to tear-ing down and rebuilding a bridge.”

The new technology even has applications in farming.

“The John Deere sprayer with 150 foot car-bon fibre boom is so light that you don’t get the soil compaction you get with an ordinary sprayer,” said Morrow. “And the boom is absolutely chemical resis-tant, so it doesn’t matter what you spray through there. It never plugs the boom.”

Morrow said there are new applications for carbon fibre every day.

Alberta Research Council started spinning carbon fibre from Alberta bitumin in its lab in the 1990s but stopped because of the mon-ey that was coming from oil and gas. She said that in order to get the carbon fibre industry going again, research needs to be done to determine the type of bitumin that was used, the precise process that was used to produce the carbon fibre, and the quality of the final product.

“Once you revisit the research you need to come up with a pitch spinning lab in order to test the process. You need a place where you can spin the pitch so you can clarify the best pro-cesses to use today. After that you need a pilot plant so you can produce enough carbon fibre to see if there is a market for it, because carbon fibres differ depend-ing on the processes and feedstock that are used.”

If it is determined that a market does exist, the next step would be to build a commercial facility.

“This is where the big money comes in,” said Mor-row. It could be a multi million dollar commercial facility that is a Crown cor-poration or a private public partnership.”

While PAN-based car-bon fibre is the most com-mon, it is more expensive to manufacture and there-fore limited to high end applications (used primar-ily by aerospace and sport-ing equipment industries). Pitch fibres, on the other hand, may offer designers a different profile. They are easily customized to meet specific applications and often have a higher modu-lus, or stiffness than con-ventional PAN fibres. They are intrinsically more pure electrochemically, and have higher ionic intercalation.

Anthony Hladun and Deanne Morrow, centre, met recently with Margot Begin, left, execu-tive director of the Battle River Alliance for Economic Development and Matt Cornall, right, technology development advisor for Alberta Innovates.

The sprayer with 150 foot carbon fibre boom reduces soil compaction because of its light weight.

More professional hockey playersare using carbon fibre hockey sticks.

By Lori LarsenThe Camrose Chamber

of Commerce will be hosting Alberta Finance Minister Joe Ceci at its May 11 general luncheon meeting.

The meeting will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bailey Theatre. Anyone is welcome to attend, but must RSVP by noon on May 6, to [email protected].

Attendees will be given an opportunity to hear Ceci speak on the recently released Alberta budget, as well as participate in open discussion during a question period.

Ceci served as a City of Calgary alderman for 15 years in the position of vice-chair of the finance commit-tee and chair of Community Protective Services.

In 2005, he was selected by peers to be the representative for Calgary to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), where he was elected chair of the Standing Committee on Social Economic Development and vice-chair of the International Committee of the FCM.

Ceci hung up his municipal politics hat and in 2010 joined Calgary-based Momentum as manager of public policy.

In 2015, he was elected to be the Calgary-Fort representative to the Legislative Assembly, later being appointed the president of the Treasury Board and Minister of Finance.

Last year Alberta Cham-ber of Commerce (ACC) intro-duced a scorecard for the Alberta Budget in order to help illustrate the Province’s commitment in listening to job creators in Alberta.

Roots series offers two grand finalesBy Murray Green

Rose City Roots Music Society will end the concert series season with two great shows at the Bailey Theatre on May 6 and 7.

The Steel Wheels are returning to Camrose by popular demand on Friday at 8 p.m.

In the beginning, the Steel Wheels were four young men who happened to cross paths at a forma-tive moment in each of their lives, reveling in the shared experience of plucking acoustic instruments and blending their voices.

The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music and their deep commitment to roots and community. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this dynamic four-piece string band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound and lifestyle, generat-ing a truly magnetic revival.

What sets this band apart from many groups is the combination stellar instrumentals, the strong lead vocals of Trent Wagler, and strong harmonies.

Eric Brubaker plays fid-dle, Jay Lapp mandolin and Brian Dicke bass.

Ginger St. JamesThen on Saturday, Gin-

ger St. James, with her sul-try and powerful voice, takes the stage at the Bailey.

She blends country, rock n’ roll and blues to pack a lot of entertainment into her five-foot frame. Follow-ing the tradition of country songbirds like Loretta Lynn, St. James writes and sings music from real experience – growing up on the family farm, being broke, having fun, and revealing love gone wrong.

St. James began writ-ing tongue-in-cheek songs that were entertaining lyri-cally, visually and musically. Focusing on singing and learning guitar licks, she eventually moved to Toronto from Hamilton to break into the local roots music scene. Then she was contacted by guitarist Snowheel Slim, who became her songwrit-ing partner and band leader.

Classic Rock Magazine featured one of her songs, “Please Mister Driver,” on its 2012 Young, Gifted and Blues compilation. Hamil-ton’s View Magazine named her best female artist for four consecutive years. In 2015, she released the debut full-length album, Diesel & Peas.

Her show also begins at 8 p.m. Tickets for both shows are available online at www.baileytheatre.com or at the Bailey Theatre Box Office.

By Murray GreenTeens in Camrose

and surrounding area can celebrate graduat-ing from high school with friends at the City Lights Church (4920-48 Street).

“To my knowledge, we haven’t had a dry grad event like this in Camrose. We wanted to plan a celebration with a fun night to remember the special occasion,” said associate Pastor Bryan Darnell. “We are hoping for about 150 people, so it will be fun and a good opportunity to meet other people. We are promoting health and safety.”

A similar event around Christmas time brought together about 150 youth.

The Dry Grad Party is planned for Saturday, May 14, from 6:30 p.m. to mid-night with bubble ball, hot tubs, laser tag, bum-per balls, floor hockey, big screen x-box, dirty dodgeball, movies, pool tables, foosball and a fire pit.

“This is a night of cel-ebrating our graduating class. There will be end-less amounts of food and loads of activities. This is one party you don’t want

to miss,” said Pastor Clayton Milgate. “It is an alternative to safe grad.”

Door prizes could be won by graduating Grade 12 students, regardless of which school they attend.

“This is a community event, not a church event. We want students from any school that doesn’t have a dry grad to join us. It doesn’t matter if they are from Bawlf or Wetaskiwin, we want everyone to feel welcome to join us,” added Mil-gate.

“We are getting sup-port from community members such as Cam-rose and District Neigh-bor Aid, Century Mead-ows Baptist Church and various businesses,” said Darnell.

Teens from Grade 9 to 12 are welcome to register by May 13 by emailing citylights [email protected] or by calling 780-672-4261. Students will be asked to have a parent or legal guardian sign a waiver. You can print one from citylightscamrose.com in advance. There is a charge for join-ing the Dry Grad Party.

Lori Larsen, Camrose BoosterHanging out with mom, Julie Rondeau, centre, on the ham-mock gives three-year-old Tristan and five-year-old Oliver a break from running around the yard, not to mention a much deserved break for Julie.

Mother’s Day wishesBy Lori Larsen

Homemade heart shaped pancakes, flowers picked from the yard, macaroni covered construction paper bear-ing misspelled words – all treasures mothers around the world have been delighted to receive on that once a year special day known as Mother’s Day.

But what else do mothers want?Julie Rondeau, mother of two very active yet polar opposite

boys, three-year-old Tristan and five-year-old Oliver, expressed her take on what a busy mom would really appreciate on Mother’s Day.

“I would like time to just enjoy and not have to do house work or yard work,” said Julie. “Just enjoy the day with the boys and my husband.”

Surveys have shown what moms really want more often than not can not be bought in any store.

First and foremost, they want to be recognized. Moth-er’s Day should be the one day of the year that children don’t forget to show their appreciation.

Moms also want quality time with their family, especially if their children are grown. Time to just hang out and reconnect.

An artistic eyeruns in the family

Gord Graham, owner of The Auto Shoppe,built his business by keeping clients for life.

They count on Gord to pay attention to details, just as a painter does. So it’s no surprise

that Gord simply does what comes naturally.The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Gord Grahamand mom Doreen with the painting she created

Continued from page 17Moms want a day off from

the everyday normal routine of cooking, cleaning and tending to the needs of children. What parent doesn’t need that once in a while?

“I would love a nice fancy home cooked meal,” added Julie, smiling at husband Rob. “And not always having to go out for dinner with the boys, because they tend to run around.”

“Or even just a night out without the boys. I know the reason I am a mother is because of them, but sometimes you need that break from them too.”

Moms want quality alone time. Time to read that book that has been sitting on the shelf for months, time to talk on the phone to a friend without constant interruptions, or time to just lay back and take a nap without having to worry about what is or isn’t getting done.

“I would also like to not

have to work that day,” said Julie.

Julie is not alone in that sentiment. One of the top five wishes of mothers surveyed (that would be working) is that they would like Mother’s Day off.

A survey conducted by RetailMeNot.ca reported that people will still purchase gifts such as jewelry, spa services, flowers, gift cards, tickets for shows or events and, of course, cards. Items that are not neces-sarily needed but wanted.

When Rob suggested dia-monds to Julie her response was quick.

“I’m really not a jewelry person, take me to Mexico instead.”

Being a mother holds dif-ferent meanings for every mother but behind each one is a huge sense of responsibility.

“To me being a mother means trying to be the best example for my children as I

can, so they can grow up to be good young men,” said Julie.

But mothering (parenting) is not without its challenges.

“Finding that work life bal-ance with today’s society is huge,” admitted Julie.

“Understanding the needs of my boys versus the needs of myself, as a woman.

“Their needs are different than that of a girl. Not only that, the fact that both of them are so different means their individual needs are also very different. So trying to figure out how to raise them best for each of their specific needs is a challenge.”

That became appar-ent when observing the two boys. Oliver appeared a little more passive as he studied the plastic bugs he had spread over the table, while Tristan tended to be more like a bug on a hot griddle, constantly on the go.


What Mothers wish for

news OK MG


The most popular Mother’s Day destination by a country mile is the Norsemen Inn.

“The number of people we serve keeps growing and growing year after year,” says

Sean Willms, the hotel’s owner. “Last year we served 2,000 for the rst time ever, and this year

we expect more than 2,000 again. This is amazing when you think about providing a delicious experience

for so many people in such a short time frame.”Why do so many people come? It’s because they know the food

is good and plentiful and any size of group is able to step up to the abundant buffet table with very little waiting time. People enjoy their favorite salads,hot vegetables, soups and hot meats like roast beef, baked parmesan chicken pieces and sweet and sour pork side ribs. The buffet also includes a dessert wagon over� owing with favorites such as parfaits, cheesecakes and Nanaimo bars.

“We see the same people every year for Mother’s Day and they have big smiles on their faces,” says Sean.

You don’t need a reservation unless you want to make one. “We encourage walk-ins with no limitations,” says Sean. “Our experienced team of cooks and servers have been doing this for a long time.”

As the cherry on the cake, every mom will receive afree chocolate bar because the Norsemen wants to saythank you in a sweet kind of way.

So gather up the youngsters, bring the grandparents, the nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters, bring as many as you like, because at the Norsemen Inn, they’re ready, willing and able to give you a Mother's Day experience like no other in central Alberta.

Mothers Day wishesContinued from page 18

“Oliver seemed so easy,” remarked Julie. “Then Tristan came along and that was a completely different story. He just learns and does things differently so I have to learn how to deal with his needs because he is not the same child as Oliver.”

Any mother (parent) who have raised more than one child will totally understand that there is no instruction book – it is a new process every day.

Mothering really can be defined as the oldest profes-sion in the world. Mothers of

the past, present and future are one of the most vital com-ponents of a child’s life.

When asked what les-son Julie’s mom passed on to her Julie replied, “It is not so much a lesson but that she was always there and willing to do anything she could to help us succeed in life. She showed me how to be good mom by just being there and being available.”

And for that mothers tru-ly do deserve what they really want – recognition, quality time with family, and maybe just one day where the load is lifted a bit.

Come spring, shop-pers often ask, “What gift should I get Mom for Moth-er’s Day?” How do people transform the sentiments they have for their mother into gifts that represent love and devotion? Buying a Mother’s Day gift is no easy task, especially for those who wait until the last min-ute to do their shopping.

Beginning early can

ease the pressure of Mother’s Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be order-ing your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner.

Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take invento-ry of what Mom likes to do the most. If you ask your mother what she wants, she will likely brush off the question and tell you noth-ing. It is up to you to do the investigative work. Pay attention to conversations and see if there is anything she mentions wanting to try or something around the house that may need updating. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic.

Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Mother’s Day. But it is essential to check expira-tion dates on the certifi-cates or find gifts, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, chain restaurant gift cards don’t expire for at least five

years from purchase. Those might be your safest bet.

Verify a business. Although Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened, verify the business before buying a gift card from it. An unpredictable economy has made it even harder for new businesses to succeed, and you don’t want Mom to be stuck with a worthless gift card should the new business not thrive. If she really likes a particu-lar new business, take her on a shopping spree at the store instead.

Skip the chocolate overload. Flowers and chocolates are traditional Mother’s Day gifts. How-ever, calorie-conscious women may not want to be faced with the tempta-tion of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves choco-late, treat her to a gour-met piece or two, but don’t make that your main gift.

Avoid “final sale” items. It can be tempting to peruse the deep-discount rack at

Mom’s favorite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new sea-son. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the “final sale” racks in favor of items that can be returned or exchanged.

Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitors’ ads. Therefore, if you feel more comfort-able at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to your favorite store. There’s a good chance they will give you the item for the same price. This works particularly well for tech gifts that typically go on sale in the days leading up to a holiday or special event.

There are different ways to make shopping for Mother’s Day gifts a little easier and guarantee the best experience for Mom as well.

By Dan JensenEileen McHugh and

Alan Ford were named Hon-orary Paul Harris Fellows at a Rotary Club of Cam-rose dinner meeting April 11 for their outstanding con-tributions to the community through involvement and good citizenship.

McHugh and Ford believe in the Golden Rule that people should do unto others what they would like to be done unto themselves.

McHugh is a 50-year Camrosian who was diag-nosed with polio when she was just one year old. She walked on the tips of her toes from age three to age eight, when she underwent sev-eral operations and recon-structive surgeries that allowed her to walk prop-erly. Her dad would take her to all her operations, while her mother would stay home and be a caregiver.

McHugh eventually became a stay-at-home mom for her daughter, who she showered with love.

“At that time she found joy and fulfillment in philan-thropy by giving of herself as a volunteer babysitter,” said Rotary Club of Camrose Rotary Foundation commit-tee chair Roy Wallace. “Back then she would help families struggling with the cost of day care.”

McHugh currently resides at Bethany Mead-ows, where she is seen as a beacon of light by everyone she meets.

“She is always smiling, always positive and always concerned,” said Wallace, who is a registered nurse at Bethany Meadows. “When-ever a new resident is admitted to the unit Eileen

is that person’s first friend and immediately becomes an advocate.

“When I was transferred to DSL Eileen was my first friend and became an advo-cate for me. When my dear co-workers would say ‘I don’t know about that Roy, he is too slow,’ Eileen would say ‘be patient, give him some time, he will get faster.’”

McHugh has been described as having the heart of a comforter.

“Whenever a patient became palliative you didn’t have to ask where Eileen was when you couldn’t find her to give her medication,” said Wallace. “She would always be sitting quietly in that resi-dent’s room at bedside.”

Wallace experienced McHugh’s caring first hand when his father died.

“For about a week and a half until I could buy a ticket to go back to Jamai-

ca I got two to three hugs from Eileen per shift,” said Wallace. “She clearly shows that no matter what your situation or circumstance, you can be a positive force wherever you go.”

Ford was a member of the Munsch a Bunch of Miles bike team which, over the four years it was together, cycled from Camrose to Winnipeg, Prince Rupert to Camrose, Winnipeg to Camrose, and Camrose to the Peace Region and back again, all the while raising funds for and aware-ness of the importance of early childhood literacy.

“In the four years we rode together in the Munsch a Bunch of Miles for Literacy we rode over 5,400 kilome-tres,” said Rotarian David Samm. “We talked to over 3,000 school children and parents and teachers, and our efforts raised $30,000 to $40,000 for an early child-

hood literacy program in Camrose called Books for Babies, which gives a book bag and a book to an expect-ant family.”

After other members of the team decided to stop rid-ing, Ford continued his liter-acy fundraising efforts with the Tour of Alberta ride that is held every summer.

Samm said a highlight of the Munsch a Bunch of Miles for Literacy trips was the opportunity to read to students at schools along the way.

“Ruth Ford, Alan’s wife, would put together a pro-gram for us. She had early childhood experience so we were rock stars. We had the right literature and we were telling the right sto-ries.”

The idea for the rides started during a coffee time at the former Merchants Coffee and Tea in Camrose.

“I was having coffee with him one morning and he was bemoaning the fact that his daughter was mov-ing away from Camrose,” said Samm. “He didn’t know who he was going to do long distance rides with. Had I been quiet and not said a word I wouldn’t be honouring Alan tonight, but instead I said, ‘Oh, I will ride with you.’ When I said we should go to Winni-peg he suggested that we do something different every day.”

Samm said the work Alan has done speaks highly of the Rotary Foundation’s focus on education and literacy.

McHugh and Ford each received a certificate signed by the president of Rota-ry International and the chairman of the trustees of the Rotary Foundation, as well as a lapel pin and a medallion.

Rotary names McHugh, Ford, Paul Harris Fellows

By Dan JensenThe board of Covenant

Health has announced the selection of former Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach as its new board chair.

He replaces outgoing chair John Brennan.

“Catholic Health ser-vices are very dear to me simply because of how the Sisters became such a wel-coming and very integral part of my life at a critical moment,” said Stelmach in an article posted on the Covenant Health website. “In Grade 1, I had a serious incident on a playground slide where I had a double fracture of my femur where the bone almost sticks out from the skin. In the hos-pital, they put my leg in a brace with tape on either side, moved me into a six-person ward and that was a place I occupied for two months and then I stayed a while longer in a body cast. The Sisters took it upon themselves to teach

me to read, speak Eng-lish, teach arithmetic and they assigned responsibil-ities to different patients in the ward – one patient read with me, one fellow taught math to me. The Sisters did this solely on their volunteer time.”

Stelmach believes Covenant Health played an integral role in putting the fabric of health care together in Alberta.

“We can expand and support government today – not only in acute care and continuing care, but in mental health too,” he said.

Stelmach also believes that in today’s world, peo-ple are looking for more from a health care pro-vider than just medicine or treatment.

“My personal obser-vation is that, in the face of a catastrophic event, a serious illness, an accident or a premature death in the family, people seek so

much emotional support,” he said. “As a faith based organization, Covenant Health is able to help heal the whole person – mind, body and soul. It’s our cul-ture, we grew up with it – that’s the Sisters’ legacy.”

Stelmach is adamant that government needs partners like Covenant Health and others to ensure the long term sustainabil-ity of our system.

“I am always convinced that, while government sets direction, they do need partners to help,” he said. “Government can’t do it alone and will never be able to do it alone. The story of Catholic health-care is a story of faith, courage, compassion and astute leadership. It’s not a story of religion or poli-tics.”

Stelmach said in the article he cares deeply about the history and val-ues the Sisters have.

“I don’t know how

I would have fared if I didn’t have them – I was and am forever grateful.”

Stelmach was sworn in as Alberta’s 13th pre-mier on Dec. 14, 2006. On March 3, 2008, he led the Progressive Conservatives to their 10th consecutive victory since 1971 and the second largest majority of the party, winning 72 out of 83 seats.

In order to improve equitable access and coordi-nated policies, programs and standards, a provincial gov-ernance board replaced the nine regional health authority boards, the Alberta Cancer Board, the Alberta Mental Health Board, and Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission. On Jan. 1, 2009, health care premiums were eliminated for all Albertans.

He was instrumental in creating the faith-based sector’s master agreement with government, and he helped navigate various

agreements and legisla-tion as Catholic health care made the transition from the Sisters’ leadership to the current structure.

“He will make a great contribution to Covenant Health,” said CEA president Deon Wilner. “His personal ethics and ability to handle complex issues will enable Covenant Health to move for-ward and achieve the goals they have set. Stelmach will lead their team to get the job done.”

Wilner said Stelmach has always been a strong believer in the need for gov-ernment and public orga-nizations to conduct their affairs with the greater public interest in mind.

The Covenant Health board oversees hospi-tals and care centres in Camrose (St. Mary’s), Banff, Bonnyville, Castor, Edmonton, Killam, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Mundare, St. Albert, Trochu and Vegreville.

By Lori LarsenCity council members heard a report at its April 4 Com-

mittee of the Whole meeting on a proposed bylaw that would allow water accounts for rental properties to be transferred to the name of the landlord when tenancy changes.

City director of accounting and assessment Darren Lockhart explained the reasoning behind the bylaw.

“There is a continual struggle in the utility area,” said Lockhart. “Where a tenant landlord situation occurs, we seem to have a lot of difficulty collecting outstanding bills from tenants,” said Lockhart. “In this situation, the munici-pality has no recourse, except collections.”

When a water account is in the name of the actual prop-erty owner(s), the City has recourse through the Municipal Government Act to collect any outstanding balances by transfer to the owner’s property taxes.

The number of delinquent accounts has been increasing to the point where the water arrears on collectable accounts (accumulated over a number of years) is sitting at about $144,000.

“This will help you see the magnitude and seriousness of the situation that has taken place,” said Lockhart.

“If a tenant walks away from an account, we do our very best to make sure there is not another account open until the arrears are dealt with. We catch a lot of them, but I can’t say we catch them all.”

Mayor Norm Mayer said the main thrust of the bylaw is basically to put the billing in the name of the landlord as opposed to the tenant to try and overcome, or at least allevi-ate, the financial inability to collect some $144,000 which gets tagged on everybody.

“It won’t be a popular move in some instances.”Councillor Agnes Hoveland questioned whether or not

there was precedent in this area set by other municipalities.“I did speak to one other municipality that has taken

this approach,” replied Lockhart. “And they said their arrears, uncollectable accounts pretty much ceased to exist.”

Councillor PJ Stasko described for confirmation his understanding of the proposed bylaw.

“The process would remain as is right now but once the (present) tenant vacates the property then the new tenant would click in and the bill would be going directly to (per-son) on title,” he said.

Lockhart confirmed and indicated the City would not force everyone to make the change.

He added that existing accounts (that have the tenant responsible for the water bill) would be grandfathered until a change in the tenant(s).

“The question is who should really have the risk in this?” commented councillor Max Lindstrand. “We are sug-gesting we transfer the risk from the City to the landowner, and that’s probably where it belongs.

“To clarify, under the new process, the water billing would go directly to the landlord who would then have to collect from the tenant.”

Council gave first reading to the proposed bylaw at its regular meeting on April 18.

Bylaw would helpCity recover costs

By Dan JensenThe 2016 Ford Explorer

at Lamb Ford Sales offers even more smart technolo-gy, a new 2.3 litre EcoBoost engine and an all-new Plat-inum series.

"It's going to lead the way in innovation, perfor-mance and fun," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read.

Strong performanceThe 2.3 litre EcoBoost,

available on the base, XLT and Limited series, delivers at least 270 horsepower and at least 300 lb.-ft. of torque. It improves highway pass-ing times ten per cent at speeds between 100 and 110 km/h.

The 2.3 litre EcoBoost benefits from technology that makes it more efficient and optimizes performance. It employs an active oil control system to optimize pressure when less fluid is needed. An active waste gate controls boost more precisely during light load operation to help save fuel. A higher compression ratio results in more efficient fuel combustion.

The standard 3.5 litre V6 engine for base, XLT and Limited models offers an estimated 290 horsepow-er and an estimated 255 lb.-ft. of torque, and is paired with a six-speed Select-Shift Automatic transmis-sion. Explorer Sport and the Platinum edition get a

standard 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 with an estimated 365 horsepower and an estimat-ed 350 lb.-ft. of torque – also mated with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic.

Four-wheel driveIntelligent four-wheel

drive continuously moni-tors wheel speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle to determine vehi-cle conditions and driver intent. The system then determines the optimal amount of front and rear torque for the given condi-tions to prevent slip from even occurring, which helps keep the vehicle sure-footed on virtually any terrain. In sand, grass or gravel mode, the antilock braking sys-tem changes its pulse rate, which allows material to build up in the front of the wheels, acting as a doorstop of sorts to help slow momen-tum.

A newly refined, intel-ligent four-wheel drive gauge display shows power being distributed to the rear wheels under all con-ditions – from heavy four-wheel drive system usage to when the system is not transmitting power at all – for improved efficiency.

For added convenience, the Terrain Management System automatically defaults to normal mode whenever the vehicle is started to ensure it is ready

for normal driving condi-tions.

Using a dial located on the centre console, you can shift on the fly, selecting one of four terrain man-agement modes – normal, snow, sand or mud – to set how the engine, transmis-sion, brakes and front-wheel drive system will operate. A fifth setting is for navigat-ing hills.

TechnologiesThe 2016 Ford Explorer

offers more technologies than previous models – features that enhance the driving experience.

Both front and rear cameras have wide-angle lenses and come equipped with a washer, an industry first.

Ultrasonic sensors and electric power assisted steering help drivers with parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers. The system controls the steer-ing wheel while the driver operates the accelerator and brake pedals and shifts the vehicle into gear.

The hands-free liftgate means you only need to kick your leg below the centre of the rear bumper to unlock and raise the liftgate.

Active grille shutters close at highway speeds to reduce drag and open at low speeds to deliver air flow to cool the powertrain.

Standard air curtains create a high pressure

region of air that impacts the outer surface of the wheels and tires. The result is air flow held close to the vehicle body, minimizing drag.

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support uses radar to detect moving vehicles directly ahead and changes the cruising speed if neces-sary.

The lane keeping sys-tem automatically detects left- and right-hand road lane markings using the front camera system. A vibration in the steering wheel alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of the lane. The system can also provide steering torque to help guide the vehicle back into the lane if needed.

The Blind Spot Infor-mation System uses radar to trigger a warning when another motorist is in the driver's blind spot.

Auto high beams use windshield mounted camer-as to automatically switch between high beam and low beam settings when oncom-ing traffic is detected.

Inflatable rear safety belts deploy an airbag over the torso and shoulder of an outboard passenger to help distribute crash forces over up to five times more area than a traditional safety belt. Spreading forces over a larger area helps reduce pressure on a passenger's

chest, and helps control head and neck motion.

PlatinumThe 2016 Ford Explor-

er Platinum incorporates brushed aluminum and satin-finished ash wood in multi-piece appliques on all door panels and the instru-ment panel. The wood-trimmed leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel includes unique stitching that matches the stitching used throughout the inte-rior.

The Explorer Platinum is the first Ford vehicle to get the all-new 500-watt Sony Audio System with Live Acoustics and Clear Phase technology. Clear Phase eliminates sound disperson throughout the vehicle so the music occupants hear is precisely pinpointed, just as the artist intended.

For the exterior, sig-nature lighting surrounds the LED headlamps, giving Explorer Platinum a con-tinuous glow. Other features include a standard dual-panel moonroof, premium silver painted front and rear skid plate elements, and 20-inch wheels with bright machine face and tarnished dark painted pockets.

You can see the 2016 Ford Explorer when you vis-it Lamb Ford Sales at 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales rep-resentatives.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $14,000 to Gardner Kids Campus, a day care facility in Camrose.

The grant is a portion of income generated by the Foun-dation’s Community Fund, which represents undesignated donations from a large number of generous donors through-out the region. This fund supports projects and initiatives that reflect emerging community needs as they are identi-fied from time to time. Grants from community funds may be made to projects in any of the communities served by the Foundation. This particular grant will assist with painting and roof repairs at the Kids Campus buildings.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support programs in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

As your Member of Par-liament I am closely monitor-ing the debate over the Lib-eral Private Member’s Bill, C-246, the Modernizing Ani-mal Protections Act sponsored by Toronto-area Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith. I appreciate very much receiv-ing from constituents informed and well-argued opinions on this Bill and how it could affect the livelihoods of many of us.

This Bill has three parts; the elimination of dog and cat fur in the fur trade, the banning of the importation of shark fins, and the remainder of the Bill deals with animal cruelty laws in general. The first two parts are the most straightforward, although not without some problems.

The use of domestic dog and cat fur is already banned in Canada and everyone sup-ports eliminating domestic cat and dog fur from the fur trade. It will be important to amend Bill C-246 in order to use the proper scientific names of these two species. Domes-tic dogs have been known to cross with wolves and coyotes and have reverted to the wild. These hybrids must remain legal as furbearers for the livelihood purposes of remote, aboriginal and trapping com-munities in Canada.

C-246 needs to be amend-ed to be more narrowly-defined as pertaining to imported shark fins. Where we know

the shark has been treated in an inhumane manner, then the proposed section of C-246 could be supported. Yet, we must be careful because shark fins can originate in legal, sus-tainable shark fisheries where all of the fish is processed for consumption, including the high-value fin which is export-ed as part of a legal fishery. Bill C-246 does not take the latter into account.

The remainder of the Bill threatens traditional animal use in Canada, including farming, ranching, livestock husbandry, medical research, pet ownership, hunting, trap-ping, and angling. These spe-cific legal activities should be clearly listed in the Bill, so that these otherwise legal activities are not added to the Criminal Code and not crimi-nalized.

The wording in Bill C-246 is vague. It introduces termi-nology that is new to numer-ous Canadian laws and calls for substantial legal changes. For example, it moves animals out of the property section of the Criminal Code of Canada and places them in the public morals section of the code.

Animals are already pro-tected from wilful harm in Canada and severe penalties are provided for violations of these laws. However, the word-ing of Bill C-246 is so vague that a Judge could potentially criminalize commonly accept-ed activities ranging from pet ownership to medical research.

Under C-246, a person could be in potential legal jeopardy if an animal were to suffer from clearly unintended actions or an accident. For example, we all know the scenario where a horse or cow catches a hoof in barbed-wire. Under C-246, this could be construed as a crime.

This Bill places Canadian farms, ranches and aboriginal communities at risk. It does not protect legitimate animal use practices. Many communities across Canada rely on farm-ing, fishing, trapping, com-mercial fishing, and angling in support of their way of life. As well, medical research is threatened without regard for the achievements in improving and prolonging human life.

Canada’s current ani-mal cruelty statutes are strong, useful, and provide the authorities with all the necessary tools to stop wil-ful animal cruelty. Canada uses dispassionate, objective, veterinary-approved and sci-entifically-proven sustainable methods to provide for animal welfare in our country.

AppreciationI would like to express

my appreciation to Dan Jensen for his many years as a talented columnist in your newspaper.

When I heard last fall that you were planning to retire in the spring, Dan, it was with mixed feelings. Of course, I was happy that you would now have more time to relax and pursue other interests without the constant deadlines hanging over you. But undeniably, as Camrose’s most capable newsman, you will certainly be missed!

On many occasions over the years, I have had to pre-pare a press release for one of

the organizations for which I was a volunteer. With the Camrose Booster, it was so easy! I would just list all the relevant information, contact you and you would prepare a well written, accurate news article and, if necessary, include an appropriate photo.

I always enjoyed reading your articles, as well, Dan. You have a special gift for writing about the human interest events in our com-munity. I hope in your retire-ment there will still be an opportunity for you to use your writing skills.

Congratulations on a job well done!

By Murray GreenCovenant Health St.

Mary’s Hospital Camrose held a tea to salute its many volunteers on April 20.

National Volunteer Week is a time to recog-nize, celebrate and thank Canada’s volunteers.

“It seems fitting for Camrose because it is a very strong community inter-laced with many groups and individuals who help the community to thrive,” said Anna Radchenko, volunteer and foundation coordinator, in her annual address to vol-unteers. “Today, we would like to celebrate our success-es at St. Mary’s Hospital.”

Radchenko shared the numbers with the guests.

“In 2015, 4,736.5 volun-teer hours were recorded. In 2014, there were 4,545 hours. That’s almost 200 additional hours from 2014 to 2015.”

She also paid tribute to the Mission Alive Team for continuing to engage staff to live out the mission, vision and values of Covenant Health, and to volunteers who helped to set up and serve.

St. Mary’s site adminis-trator Cherylyn Antymniuk also reflected on the volun-teers.

“This year’s volunteer theme is volunteers are the root of our community,” said Antymniuk. “When I think of the talent and the time commitment each one of you volunteers offers to St. Mary’s Hospital, it truly shows your dedication, com-mitment and professional-ism to the hospital and to our community. It is fabulous to see so many new volunteers and new volunteer positions being created and also the enthusiasm each one of you volunteers brings to this workplace.

“I am so grateful for your

commitment to our cause. So much of St. Mary’s Hospital’s success is because of each one of you. Our volunteer program base has grown over the years.”

Antymniuk listed the areas in which people vol-unteer.

“To all our volunteers, I would like to express a heartfelt thank you,” she said. “You give so much of yourselves; the compassion you show to the people that you serve is an inspiration for all of us. I’ve noticed how each of you greets and meets everyone with respect and kindness and it doesn’t mat-ter what their situation is.

“We all know how stress-ful it can be for a patient who is in need of health care. Your actions by volunteering go a long way toward help-ing our patients, staff and physicians deliver quality care everyday at St. Mary’s Hospital. I want you to know that your work, time, efforts and compassion are appre-ciated. You give so much and ask nothing in return so today is all about you. A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for caring so much. This year St. Mary’s is planting four trees in hon-our of the volunteers who give so much.”

Board chair Judith O’Shaughnessy also thanked the volunteers.

“We can find meaning in life by first of all devot-ing ourselves to others, sec-ondly by devoting ourselves to the community around us and thirdly by devoting our-selves by doing something that gives us meaning and a purpose. We have all brought some meaning to our lives,” she said.

The Charlie Killam School Grade 8 band stu-dents played several songs in honour of volunteers.

In memory of

Vida InnesJune 2, 1920 ~ May 2, 2015

I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, And think of all the memories with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy cuz I do it every day, But my heart aches with missing you, and it never goes away.

I know you are the whisper in the trees and the feather that floats to me I feel you in the penny that shows up and is a small comfort to me.

My mind still talks to you, my soul knows you’re at peace.

Miss you Mom, Elaine


VESELKA DANCERS PRESENT SPRING SHOWMurray Green, Camrose Booster

Camrose Veselka Ukrainian Dancers Malia Pattullo, Sydney Matiushyk, Talayna Ekelund, Kaylyn Walger and Owen Tomaszewski (above) perform a Pollissian dance called Zeon that involves the use of rakes. Paige Dyer and Devyn Rasmuson (lower picture) perform a pleskach dance that uses syncopated rhythms while they move to the music on April 24.

By Dan JensenMembers of About Time Productions will be head-

ing back to the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre stage this month with their performance of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods.

“We have 20 cast members who have been work-ing on it twice a week since September,” said director Cathie Johnson. “The kids have been having a great time doing it.”

Into the Woods is a musical that intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the charac-ters’ wishes and quests. The story follows the baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella, who wish-es to go to the King’s Festival, and Jack, who wishes his cow would give some milk. When the baker and his wife are visited by the neighbourhood witch, who reveals to them that she has placed a curse on their family, the two, in an attempt to reverse the curse, set off into the woods where they meet Little Red, who is trying to visit her grandmother, the wolf, who loves tasty little girls, the witch’s daughter Rapunzel, and the princes chasing after their loves.

“The great thing about Into the Woods is that it is two shows in one,” said Johnson. “The younger children will be able to leave after the first act, in which every-one gets their wish. Those who stay for the second act will be able to see what happens after Happily Ever After. When Jack’s beanstalk brings them a visit from an angry giant we see how the consequences of their actions haunt them in disastrous ways. The community must come together to save each other and their king-dom, but sacrifices must be made.”

Into the Woods is the biggest show About Time Pro-ductions has ever mounted.

“There are about 70 songs,” said Johnson. “The music is difficult to do but with the help of musical director Tova Olson the kids have risen to the chal-lenge.”

Into the Woods is the second of the year for About Time Productions, which performed We are Monsters in March.

“We have grown to the point where we have had to split the cast in two,” said Johnson. “The kids in Into the Woods are the ones who are older.”

Evening performances will get underway at 7 p.m. on May 13, May 14 and May 17. Afternoon performanc-es will start at 2 p.m. on May 14 and 15. Tickets may be purchased online at www.camroselive.ca, or by calling the performing arts centre box office at 780-608-2922.

Show sponsors are McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, UPS, Burgar Funeral Home and Boston Pizza.

About TimeProductions to presentInto the Woods atPerforming Arts Centre

By Dan JensenOne good turn deserves

another.After extending a

generous welcome to two Camrose couples on a Friendship Exchange last November, members from half a dozen Rotary Clubs in the New South Wales Rotary District of Australia will have the opportunity to experience the same friend-ly treatment when they spend four days in Camrose May 24 to 28.

“We are going to repay the fantastic hospitality we received when we were there last year,” said Rotary Club of Camrose member Ray Hook, who was part of the exchange, along with his wife, Elaine, and fel-low Rotarians Donna and Warren Phillips.

“We have already met

with most of the 12 who will be coming.”

The visitors will be treated to a whirlwind tour of Camrose and area, start-ing with a Tuesday evening (May 24) concert put on by the Community Band, of which Hook is a member. “I told our band director that I would like us to do a concert on that day,” said Hook.

Wednesday activities will include a trip to the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin and to Mask-wacis for a tour of the school and remand centre and a dinner meal at the home of one of the band chiefs.

Thursday will see the New South Wales Rotarians give a presentation at a joint noon meeting of the Rotary Club of Camrose and Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak. They will also receive a tour of projects in which the

Rotary clubs are involved, including the Rotary Park in the ski hill area, the Rotary Youth Centre, performing arts centre, Bailey Theatre and Augustana. The day will end with a dinner at the Lefse House.

Another out of town trip on Friday will include canoeing on Little Beaver Lake at Ferintosh, the jail and firehouse at Bashaw, and the grain elevator and railway museum at Meeting Creek.

The visitors will leave their Camrose hosts on Sat-urday, but not before seeing Elk Island National Park and the Ukrainian Village, where they will be able to enjoy a Ukrainian meal.

The Hooks and the Phillips stayed with five different families in five New South Wales towns.

“We all met in Sydney

at the airport and then flew to Tamworth,” said Hook. “We were hosted by Rotar-ians and they looked after everything. The schedule was half a day of sightsee-ing and half a day with our hosts. The pace was perfect.”

The trip included four Rotary meetings where the Hooks and Phillips had the opportunity to see the proj-ects in which the Australian Rotarians were involved.

“One of the new proj-ects they were involved in was the formation of men’s sheds, where guys get together to work on projects and just talk,” said Hook.

The opportunity to see different parts of the world while being hosted by oth-ers who have similar inter-ests and attitudes towards service is just one of the perks of being a Rotarian.

“There are a lot of people from each Rotary district who are clamoring to go on these exchanges, and usually it is first come first served,” said Hook. “The Rotary Dis-trict of which we are a part has sent people all over the world. There’s a trip that is being planned to Belgium this fall that is attracting a lot of interest.”

Hook believes it is criti-cal that Rotarians be part of exchanges so that they can see what other clubs are doing to make the world a better place. “We take ideas from other clubs and try to implement them at home,” he said.

The Rotary District (5370) of which the Cam-rose clubs are a part has 60 clubs in an area that stretches from Camrose and Lloydminster in the south to Dawson Creek in the north.

KidSport Camroseoffers benefitsto all children

By Lori LarsenEvery child should

be given the opportunity to participate in sports. Doing so can build his or her confidence, self esteem and overall well-being, not to mention teach him or her the value of teams, healthy competition and cooperation.

KidSport Camrose knows all too well the ben-efits reaped when children are included in organized sports and continues to raise funds to enable more opportunities.

“Since we started Kid-Sport Camrose in 2013 Dean Threinen, founder and prior chair, led the organization to success-fully fund 35 children and $8,088 in 2013, 55 children and $13,540 in 2014, and 83 children and $28,930 in 2015, and the numbers continue to grow in 2016 despite a slug-gish economy,” said Kristy Smith, present chair.

“Dean has stepped down as our chair, but we will continue this work in our community as we look to create new relationships and build a sustainability

plan in 2016. It is our belief that all children deserve an opportunity to participate in local sports!”

The funding amount will change from $500 a child per year to $350 a child per year as of Aug. 31.

The process of submit-ting an application to Kid-Sport will also be seeing some changes. KidSport Alberta is introducing an online application process and KidSport Camrose will be following suit. As this change is made faxed appli-cations will no longer be accepted, however mailed/emailed applications will still be accepted.

KidSport will be hav-ing two upcoming fundrais-ing events, including kara-oke at Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino on May 6, and an outdoor movie on the grounds of St. Francis Xavier’s new church (across from Creekview) on June 10.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classifi ed 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 AbbreviationsOkay, 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 HonestExaggerating your item’s fi ner 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 PriceThe 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 AccessibleIncluding 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 fi rst 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.

THANK YOU

OUR FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE all of the people who helped us after the passing of Tom Haselwood. Our thanks go to Layne and staff at Weber Funeral Home for their professionalism and understanding of our family’s needs and wishes, to the ladies of Grace Lutheran Church for providing lunch after the service and ‘Grace’ members for their help with printing of bulletins, connecting us to the number of people we had to contact, the PowerPoint production and Pastor Tim Richholt of Zion Lutheran Church, Wetaskiwin, for conducting the service. Lastly, we are thankful for all the phone calls, the memorial donations, the bouquets of flowers, the ‘goodies’ and, of course, the many hugs. Thank you all. – Judy and Sharon Haselwood and family

THE FAMILY OF HAROLD MILLER gratefully acknowledges the care and support given during his stay in the Grey Nun’s Hospital and the ensuing days after his passing. The many acts of kindness, cards, memorial donations and flowers have been a blessing. We are especially grateful to Pastor Charlotte who visited just when we needed her most and seemed to bring such peace to Harold with her beautiful singing. Her leadership and meaningful service have strengthened our faith in God’s promise and our blessed reunion. We are thankful to Bart Orr from Burgar Funeral Home for steering us through the many strange waters of loss. We are also thankful to all the family members and grandchildren who helped celebrate Harold’s life through music, scripture and written tributes at his very own “little brown church in the dale”, St. Joseph Lutheran Church. Thanks too, to the St. Joseph ladies for preparing such a wonderful lunch. In lieu of thank you cards, a donation in Harold’s name is being made to St. Joseph Church. With deep appreciation – Shirley Miller and family.

A lot of laughing A few happy tears

Some hugs and kisses too! Visiting with family and friends

Thank you for a special 80th birthday party

– Tom Niven and family

Innovative Solutionsfor a Changing World

PCN hosts griefworkshopBy Colleen Lindholm,Camrose Primary Care Network

We all face loss, eventu-ally. And often we – along with our friends, co-workers and family members – are not sure what supports are available.

The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) is pleased to offer a one day Grief and Bereavement workshop on Saturday, May 14, which will explore our culture’s perceptions and expectations when we speak of bereavement, grief and mourning.

This workshop is for people who are coping with grief and loss, as well as for people interested in becom-ing “grief helpers” – co-workers, family members or even physicians and health care professionals support-ing people going through a loss.

Co-facilitated by Donna Lynne Erickson (certified grief trainer) and Colette Howery (registered nurse with a certificate in grief support) participants will learn:

how to be a companion/grief helper to someone who has experienced a loss;

the importance of inte-grating loss into our own lives first;

that everyone’s grief journey is unique and that we all grieve differently;

how to recognize signs of complicated grief;

how to access appropri-ate community resources.

“No one is exempt from the heartache of losing a loved one, so let’s learn together how we can help each other,” said Howery.

“Walking alongside another person in the grief journey is in itself a learn-ing experience,” said Erick-son. “There are no set rules or steps or instructions to fix those who mourn. Life changes with each loss experienced. Learn how to create a safe place for people to work through their new reality – without judgment or shame. There is no cure, no drug, no power to get things back to the way it was before the loss event. But there is hope.”

“PCN physicians and staff are really pleased with the success of the grief and bereavement workshops which we have offered for over three years now,” said Stacey Strilchuk, Camrose PCN executive director. “Participant feedback has been extremely positive and we know we are making a difference in people’s lives by offering this type of sup-port in the community.”

The Camrose Public

Library will be host to the May workshop.

“The PCN is very appreciative of the Camrose Public Library in offering to host this workshop,” said Strilchuk. “They hosted a workshop for us in January which was extremely suc-cessful. They are a great venue to hold these type of workshops. We want to thank them for sponsoring the morning and afternoon refreshments, room rental

and helping to advertise for this event.”

The workshop will run from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (doors open at 10 a.m.) and includes lunch.

To receive more infor-mation or to register, please contact the Camrose PCN at 780-608-4927. Space is limited so call today. Regis-trations will be taken until May 11.

Adultco-edsoccerleagueto formBy Murray Green

The Camrose and Dis-trict Soccer Association is trying to add an adult co-ed league for those who have moved on from minor soccer.

“We hope to get at least four teams, with eight players per team in a co-ed format,” said organizer Trevor Berry. “It will start mid-May and we are hop-ing to provide a fun, recreational league for adults to connect.”

Berry wants players to sign as individuals, or couples to ensure the teams are even at the start.

“I want to see a fun rec-reational league where begin-ners and experienced play-ers can enjoy playing every week,” he said. “It will be eight players on each side playing with a mix of guys and girls on the field. Each team would have a few subs to give people a rest, or in case someone can’t attend on some nights. We will send out a roster, schedule, and basic info the first week of May.

“The season would run from mid-May to mid-July on Sunday evenings starting at about 6 p.m. It would be good to have an even number of teams, so everyone is playing. I would like to get 50 people involved in the first year.”

The fee to join includes a shirt, field costs and insur-ance. All games would be played on Camrose fields.

“If we get eight teams we will find places to play. If there are less than four teams it would be a less struc-tured format,” said Berry. “We have had lots of interest, but we need to take that gen-eral interest to a level of com-mitment to know how many teams we would have.”

The plan is to have nine weeks of soccer that would include playoff games. After the season is finished, Berry would like to see some drop-in times added to keep people interested if they want to play into the summer.

PROPOSED WATER BYLAW 2881-16Notice of Important Change

The City of Camrose is proposing a new Water Bylaw 2881-16. City Council gave fi rst reading to this bylaw at their April 18, 2016 meeting.A major change is being proposed in this bylaw that will affect water accounts on rental properties.

Water Accounts currently in the name(s) of a tenant(s), as allowed under existing Water Bylaw 2200-00, would remain unchanged until the tenant vacates the property. If passed by City Council, this bylaw will become effective June 1, 2016. Any questions or concerns regarding the proposed Water Bylaw 2881-16 can be directed to Darren Lockhart, Director of Accounting & Assessment, 780-672-4426.

SubmittedAlberta Health Servic-

es (AHS) is now recruiting volunteer members for each of its 12 Health Advisory Councils across the prov-ince.

These councils, which report to the AHS board, convene about five times per year at local sites across the province. The volunteer members meet with AHS leaders, learn of AHS ini-tiatives, and bring forward local perspectives about health care delivery in their communities.

“Health Advisory Council volunteers are an important link to ensure AHS is responsive to the people,” said AHS board chair Linda Hughes. “They play an important role in connecting us to the pub-lic across Alberta, and help us understand the needs of individual communities.”

Each council is com-prised of up to 15 members, all of whom are: passionate about health care services; eager to engage members of their community to learn what health care services are working well and where improvements can be made; interested in participating in dialogue with AHS to find creative solutions that address local health care.

Larry Albrecht, chair of the Prairie Mountain Health Advisory Council, says the work is rewarding

because he can see how it benefits the public.

“Alberta Health Servic-es is serious about listen-ing to Albertans across the province,” said Albrecht. “Being a member of a Health Advisory Council is very fulfilling because I get to play a vital role in shaping health care into the future for myself, my family and others in our community.”

AHS is also recruit-ing new volunteer mem-bers for its two Provincial Advisory Councils (Cancer and Addiction and Mental Health) and its Aboriginal Wisdom Council.

Interested Albertans over the age of 18 are asked to submit an expression of interest form, avail-able online at http://www.ahs.ca/shapehealthcare. For further enquiries, call 1-877-275-8830, or email [email protected]. Deadline for sub-missions is May 18.

Alberta Health Servic-es is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and ser-vices for more than four million adults and chil-dren living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, qual-ity health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
