Michelle has been a member of this community for 20 years, working and raising her children. The kids are grown now and Michelle felt it was time for a new challenge. Last year she made a career change and started with RE/MAX. Working as the front end administrator for over a year she was able to see fi rst-hand the happiness of clients who just bought a home, or sold a home, and wanted to be a part of the experience!

So, she decided to become a RE/MAX REALTOR®. Welcoming the challenge and opportunity to help people fi nd the perfect home, she’s thrilled to be working for her clients and is eager to get them results.

“RE/MAX was the natural choice for me,” says Michelle, “this is a fantastic offi ce environment, a great group of people to work with. As a team, we take great pride in putting buyers and sellers together.”

Most importantly, Michelle enjoys working with people. She’s looking forward to helping fellow Camrosians realize their dreams and goals.

Before

After

By Lori LarsenAt 2:20 p.m. on April 7

Camrose Fire Depart-ment responded to a fire at EMCO, a plumbing supply store located on 47 Avenue.

“We received reports of smoke coming from the rear of the building,” said Cam-rose Fire Chief Peter Krich. “The initial call came in from the people across the street. The occupants of the building weren’t aware of the fire until they were notified.”

Everybody in the build-ing (EMCO) at the time was evacuated to the muster point where all were accounted for with no injuries.

According to Chief Krich, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

“The scene will be secured throughout the weekend to make sure everything is looked after. Insurance investigators will be coming in as well as our own investigators to determine what happened.”

The EMCO build-ing was the only business affected by the fire.

“We began our day at 2 o’clock with a grass fire,” said Krich.

The grass fire call came in at 2 p.m. With the EMCO call at 2:20 p.m. Camrose Fire Department’s resourc-es were being spread thin.

“We had two trucks responding north of town in the country just out by the Hutterite colony to a grass fire. Then 20 minutes later we received the call of the incident at the EMCO building.

“When we commit all our resources to a single

incident to try to resolve that incident and some-thing else happens, that becomes a challenge as to where are we are going to get more resources.”

Important reminderFire Chief Krich urgent-

ly reminds residents to use extreme caution during this season with regards to fire.

“With the conditions we are hearing about right across the province with the fire bans and the dry windy conditions, we urge everyone to be very cau-tious out there right now,” remarked Krich.

“Citizens need to be aware that what catches on fire right now will burn very fast and very hot because of the winds and very dry conditions right now.

“We remind citizens and people in our area it doesn’t take much to start a fire. Cigarettes thrown out of the window of a vehicle cause a lot of grass fires that start in roadside ditches. And that one lit cigarette can go a long way in these conditions.”

Fire bansThere are several fire

bans on throughout the province right now. For information on fire bans in Alberta visit https://www.albertafirebans.ca/, the Alberta Fire Bans website.

“Camrose County just issued a fire ban within the county of all open burning, except for recreational fire pits used for heating and or cooking,” noted Krich.

“But we are still rec-ommending people to be very cautious because with

the winds and a spark it doesn’t take much to jump.

“The city of Camrose doesn’t have a fire ban (at the present time) but the only things we allow to burn in the city are those that are within firepits and those are still okay.”

Krich still advises resi-dents to be extra cautious when using firepits.

“Keep an eye on the pit, what’s in the pit, and make sure it stays in the pit and that it can not jump out,” he said.

“We encourage anyone using these types of fires (recreational) to be cau-tious and have an adequate fire suppressor – some type of protection around the pit, be it a bucket of water or sand. Something they can react quickly with for putting the fire out.”

It is wild land fire sea-son and attending those types of fires puts extra strain, not only on the city’s fire fighting resources, but also on the firefighters charged with the duty of attending the fires.

“It is the dry season and until we see some moisture, some green change in our environ-ment, we all have to be overly cautious,” said Krich.

“We go out and fight fires. It is what we are trained to do.”

“But in every fire we fight we are putting fire fighters’ lives in danger and their families in jeop-ardy.”

As a final note Krich said,”no business in our business is good busi-ness.”

Fire causes severe damage to EMCO

By Colleen Lindholm,Camrose PrimaryCare Network

Camrose PCN, along with 10 other Edmonton and area Primary Care Networks is challenging its patients and communities to Get Out and Get Active from April 25 to June 5.

We are facing a physical activity crisis in Alberta and across Canada. Less than five per cent of children and 15 per cent of adults are meeting the recommendations in Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines. The GOGA chal-lenge is a great way to encourage all of us to get moving after a long and often cold winter.

The Get Out Get Active Challenge is a six week online program for all ages which keeps track of participants’ physical activities (walking, running, swimming, basket-ball, cycling, gardening etc.) and then converts them into steps, which “virtually” takes them on a tropical journey through Costa Rica. Participating is easy and free, and you can win great prizes along the way. Not only will you be working towards a healthier you by logging your daily steps and activity regularly, you will be eligible for the 2016 Get Out, Get Active weekly and grand draw prizes.

Building from the success of previous Get Out, Get Active challenges, we are excited to be a part of the 11 PCNs involved, which include Alberta Heartland, Cam-rose, Edmonton North, Edmonton Southside, Edmonton West, Kalyna Country, Leduc Beaumont Devon, Red Deer, Sherwood Park – Strathcona County, St. Albert Sturgeon, and WestView. You do not have to be attached to a physi-cian with a PCN to participate; anyone who wants to get more active can join.

Participants are encouraged to track and log their activity each day. You can monitor your progress online to see how far you have gone on your tropical adventure, as well as to see how your overall team is doing. During the Get Out, Get Active challenge, you can either use a pedometer or other step tracking device to track the num-ber of steps you take throughout the day or you can record the time you spent and what activity you did. The online program can translate time in various activities into the equivalent in steps.

Participants are welcome to challenge coworkers, friends, and family to join the Get Out, Get Active chal-lenge to increase motivation. Participating PCNs will be organizing activities, including partnerships with commu-nity recreation facilities to motivate participants.

Our mission is to create a culture of wellness start-ing with a vision to incorporate physical activity into our communities. Whether it be in the workplace, at school, at home or in a recreation facility, the GOGA challenge is a way to celebrate your physical activity achievements. Visit GetOutGetActivePCN.com for more information.

GREAT REASONSTO ATTENDOLMP:


Who’s Driving?A few weeks back I

wrote about a sunlamp experience that started out grumpy and ended up hap-py. Last week I received a delightful note from a reader. Here’s what she said:

***“…Your column on the

sunlamp reminded me that I had wanted to write you about some of your previous (not sunny) columns.

“Have you seen the 2015 movie Inside Out by Pixar? It gave emotions ani-mated characters who at turns drive your personality. The baby starts out with Joy in control, but Anger, Sorrow, Sadness and Fear all have a turn…and then there is Dis-gust.

“When I first saw the movie, I thought the creators had made an error assigning Disgust to a major role but over the past year I have come to realize that Disgust is firmly in my driver’s seat and I want her out! It is amazing what triggers Disgust (and it does not even have to be the American election, which is in a disgust category all its own!): careless drivers, inconsiderate parkers, litter-ers… you get the idea.

“Now that I am aware of Disgust’s zealous habit of grabbing the wheel when I am observing life, I can counter with a laugh, a shrug or a joke. You may need to check to see if Disgust is looking over your shoulder as well, impatient to hog the controls.

“Hope the sunlamp is working… if not, Spring is, or eventually will be, on the way… all three days of it. (Wait! Disgust, get down from there!)”

***I laughed out loud when I read the note.Ever since I read that note, I’ve become more con-

scious of how zealous my own Disgust can be.I’ve noticed two versions of Disgust.There’s Disgust that reacts to physically repelling

things – icky, sticky, ugly, smelly. You probably have your own list of things that trigger that version of Disgust, whose primary word is “Eeeww.”

But the more insidious kind of Disgust is closely relat-ed to Judgment, especially Self-Righteous Holier-Than-Thou Judgment. That’s the version of Disgust that leads me to disapproval.

I’m frightened of Self-Righteous Holier-Than-Thou Judgment. That’s the thin edge of the wedge that causes some people to feel they are better than, worthier than, more important than others. Those are attitudes that begin to make it okay to be unkind or rude or bullying to others. Moving along that continuum, that form of Dis-gust leads to racism and all the other “isms,” which in turn make hate-mongering and violence and wars seem acceptable.

And so, when I realize I’ve let that Self-Righteous Holier-Than-Thou Judgmental version of Disgust take the steering wheel, I’m properly and self-righteously appalled. And then I feel judgmental of myself…

Yikes!***

I like the reader’s way to counteract Disgust. “Now that I am aware of Disgust’s zealous habit of

grabbing the wheel when I am observing life, I can coun-ter with a laugh, a shrug or a joke.”

A laugh, a shrug or a joke are far more effective – and more fun! – than me trying to counter Disgust and Disapproval with more Disgust and Disapproval.

Her note has made me far more attentive to who’s grabbing the wheel when I’m observing life or myself.

It also reminds me that what we see in life is, to some extent, a matter of what we choose to notice.

***“If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have

more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.” ~Oprah Winfrey

Look at new technologyRecently, the neighbour-

hood near two residential lots at 4823 and 4825-54 Street received letters from the City regarding an application by a Fieldstone to rezone these lots from R2 Medium Den-sity use to R4 High Density. Last year, the developer pro-posed to build a four-storey condo complex that would tower over the one- and two-storey character homes sur-rounding it. When the City council meeting filled with residents and other Camros-ians opposed to the rezoning, the project and its impact on the area and the Mir-ror Lake Park, the developer abruptly announced that he was withdrawing his appli-cation and putting it on hold for a year. Well, that year is up and he has resubmitted the application, but now is withholding his development plans. No contact has been made by the developer with the surrounding property owners for their input or sup-port on this resubmission.

Our concerns are sev-eral. First, why would this property be “spot-zoned” dif-ferently than the lots around it? All lots directly north of it have been zoned SRD – Special Residential (Histori-cal) or R2 Medium Density Mixed Residential. Spot zon-ing is a dangerous precedent to set and, if allowed, could be implemented anywhere else in the city by developers who could potentially choose to build “to the max” in order to reap the greatest dollar value instead of neighbour-hood value.

Second, while the devel-oper has yet to submit a development proposal, we believe that, based on all other projects Fieldstone has built in our area to date, they will go the maximum limit of the bylaw, going as high and as wide and as deep

as rezoning to R4 would allow. According to the pro-posed new zoning bylaws, this means they could go up to 75 feet high (23 meters or approximately eight sto-ries), less than 10 feet (three metres) of the front sidewalk, and only five feet (1.5 metres) of the neighbouring yards. R4 presents a potential for up to 35 units within these two lots. That could mean approximately 70 people (and 70 vehicles) in the same space where two single fam-ily homes once were.

Third, while we have already addressed these con-cerns with both the devel-oper and the City when this proposal was made last year, we still believe these would be of concern if the rezoning is allowed:

Decrease in value of homes. Who wants to live in a house where a condo bal-cony could potentially hang over your backyard?

Traffic increase. The parking bylaw provides 1.25 spaces per average unit. Many couples/families have more than one vehicle. Where are the additional vehicles and/or visitors supposed to park? Several homes in the neighbourhood are already parking one or more vehi-cles on the street. Even with underground parking, that’s a huge increase in traffic and parking needs.

Water Pressure and Sewer Lines. Homes in older, established neighborhoods may have updated water and sewer lines at the street level, but the ones running from the street to homes are the originals in almost all cases, and not designed to deal with the increased demand a large project such as the potential R4 zoning could impose. And it’s the homeowner that bears the brunt and cost of upgrading.

Bethany Group built Faith House in a manner that complemented the clas-sic character homes of this neighbourhood. It’s a beauti-ful place. Even the triplex at the end of the street over-looking the lake was built in a manner that comple-ments the area and doesn’t impede the view of the area. But precedents set so far would lead us to believe that would likely not be the case for this property if rezon-ing is allowed. It could also open the door for more “spot rezoning” requests in other areas of Camrose.

We are not against seeing new construction on these lots but we would ask the City to deny the R4 rezoning and instead keep it as is at R2 (allowing a triplex or sixplex), or else rezone it SRD to match the rest of the home lots on that street, keeping the integrity, charm and character of the area in mind. We would like to see Camrose preserve the Mir-ror Lake Park’s view of a stage set with forested yards and picturesque, character-style homes. We can still do density but let’s do it thought-fully, with a neighborhood in mind, not a pocketbook.

If you support our request to reject R4 High Density rezoning of these lots, we would ask you to call or write any or all of the City councilors and/or staff. Attend the Monday, April 18 meeting of City council at 5 p.m.

Camrose Now AppFirst I would like to

tell you how much I like this app. I can’t wait until some of the stores advertise their specials on the “Deals” page. We live on an acre-age near Meeting Creek and don’t always get the Booster (and all the yummy flyers) in time to take advantage of sales.

I was happy to see the notice about the communi-ty garage sale in May. My question is: is it possible to rent a space somewhere in Camrose? I would be so happy to have a garage sale, but it is pretty dif-ficult to get people to come way out here. If I knew someone with a house in Camrose I would ask them, but I don’t. An empty lot or building maybe? It could provide a little income for someone.

Anyway if you could let me know if this is possible, that would be great.

And keep going with this app, it is wonderful. I mention it to the businesses I use in Camrose, so maybe they will be taking advan-tage of this most timely sales app.

Thanks for going the extra mile; that is what the Booster has always done.

By Lori LarsenCity council has amend-

ed the Waste Collection and Disposal bylaw.

Changes will come into affect on May 1 and reflect the new automated waste collection system that will begin on May 2.

Along with the bylaw, council approved updates to “Fee Schedule A.”

With the move from manual to automated col-lection, fees will increase by $1.21 per dwelling unit per month for collection. An additional $2.80 will be charged per dwelling per month for the waste and organic totes/carts.

Each eligible house-hold (single family homes, duplexes and fourplexes) within the city will receive a 240 L (black) waste collec-tion cart and a 240 L (green) compost collection cart.

“The carts will be deliv-ered during the month of April and we’re asking residents not to use them until the automated waste collection trucks are in ser-vice starting on May 2,” said Mark Barrett, direc-tor of infrastructure ser-vices. “Roll out schedules can be viewed on our web-site at www.camrose.ca/ automated.”

Councillor Agnes Hoveland inquired about whether or not changes would be made to collection locations, considering some of the challenges that may be faced in back alleys such as inclines with the use of the new containers.

Barrett replied, “If your collection is currently in the lane the waste cart place-ment will continue to be col-lected from the lane.”

“Front street must be collected in the front and carts have to be placed at the curb touching the gutter.”

On the day of collection the carts must have a one metre clearance on all sides and above, allowing the automated arm to maneu-ver properly. In both cases of lane or front street collection, the carts must face forward away from the home.

For extra waste, beyond that which carts can hold with the lid securely closed, residents can still purchase tags for additional solid waste receptacles or bags to accompany the waste cart/tote at time of collection for a fee of $5 from the City of Camrose.

Barrett explained the only instance in which oper-ators would exit the truck

during collection is if there is additional waste tag.

“The operator will not get out of the truck if there is garbage on top of the con-tainer or those kinds of situ-ations or he/she won’t get out of the truck if you parked your car to close,” he said.

“The bag tag is the only reason for the operator to exit the vehicle.”

Section 7.4.5 of the bylaw states that in the event of additional waste that can not be accommodated within the waste cart, the waste is to be placed in a nonreturnable plastic bag or large double ply cardboard box container of sufficient strength to hold the waste and an additional waste tag must be affixed to that item (be it a box or bag).

Barrett explained in the case of an additional tag, the truck operator would first empty the cart with the automated system then exit the truck, remove the tag from the additional bag or box, load the additional bag or box into the cart, then return to the truck and emp-ty the cart again with the automated system.

Councillor Bill Sears questioned the possibility of obtaining additional yard waste carts.

“Can a resident get more than one container for yard waste, because previously it has been unlimited, or will they have to buy the containers?”

Barrett’s response indicated there would be a

charge for additional yard waste carts.

“If someone asks for an additional cart (yard waste) there will be a charge for us to deliver it to you,” he said. “Then, if in the fall you want the City to take it back we will have to charge you again as a result of all the handling of the container.

“It would be much more cost effective, if you have a large yard and need an additional container, to just keep the cart through the whole year.”

The carts are made of durable, washable material and, according to Barrett, are estimated to last 10 to 13 years with proper main-tenance, which includes pulling the cart as opposed

to pushing when moving it, rinsing the carts with a vin-egar and water mixture as needed, and storing out of direct sunlight.

The carts are the prop-erty of City of Camrose and each contains a unique seri-al number and embedded chip that identifies it to a specific property address.

Carts can not be modi-fied in any way other than marking your address on the designated space pro-vided on the cart, although this is an option.

The carts will easily accommodate the equiva-lent of two to four bags of material.

By Dan JensenThe Battle River Water-

shed Alliance (BRWA) present-ed a 2015 OutsTanding In Stew-ardship (OTIS) award in the business/organization category to City Council and the Camrose Blue Dot Committee.

“We wanted to recognize all who unanimously decid-ed to sign the declaration of environmental rights,” said BRWA education and out-reach coordinator Nathalie Stanley Olson. “The founda-tion has now been set for all future stewardship activities.”

Council adopted a dec-laration drafted by admin-istration and the Blue Dot Committee on Oct. 5, 2015, stating that all people have the right to live in a clean environment. It also agreed to consider cost effective measures to prevent the deg-radation of the environment and to protect the health of its citizens, consider costs to human health and the envi-ronment when evaluating reasonably foreseeable costs of proposed actions and alter-natives, and integrate into

its strategic plan objectives, targets and actions that ful-fill the rights of residents to a healthy environment.

“Council was inspired by efforts of a grassroots group and the Blue Dot movement and wanted to bring that here,” said Stanley Olson.

The BRWA and OTIS award defines stewardship as the responsible overseeing and protection of something considered worth caring for and preserving.

“To us a steward is tak-ing action in making our watershed a better place to live for all life, and the life of future generations,” says the BRWA website.

The OTIS award is named after the star char-acter in the book series “Otis and Friends: Environmental Adventures” written by Pono-ka High School students in the Caring for Our Water-sheds Contest.

“A little duck named

Otis decided he was going to help conserve water by help-ing people understand how to do it and why we need a healthy environment,” said Stanley Olson. “This was a small action done by a small group of high school students who really inspired us with their stewardship efforts.”

The City of Cam-rose was the first city in Alberta to adopt the Blue Dot declaration. To date,

94,600 Canadians have joined their local movement and 126 municipal govern-ments have passed declara-tions recognizing the right to clean air and water, safe food and a stable climate. Working together, Camrose wants to build on local ini-tiatives to foster the com-munity’s connection to place and to ensure a healthy envi-ronment in Camrose and Canada for this generation and those to come.

City and Blue Dot Committee share OTIS award

By Lori LarsenÉcole Charlie Killam

School Grade 8 students, Sarah Larson and Cailynn Lalonde made a presenta-tion to City council members regarding pedestrian safety at Charlie Killam during a Committee of Whole meeting on April 4.

Larson and Lalonde worked on this initiative along with Laura Swanson, Charlie Killam vice-principal, as part of the Leadership 8 class dur-ing the first school term. They continued the project on their own time, with the assistance of Swanson, after the term was completed.

“We are hoping to get flashing crosswalk lights or flashing school zone lights to make our school zone safer,” said Lalonde.

Explaining the differences between the two safety mech-anisms, the students indicated the flashing crosswalk lights would turn on when activated by the push of a button, where the flashing school zone light would automatically flash dur-ing school hours.

“Our points of interest are 49 Avenue from Charlie Killam School to Sifton School and 46 Street across from Charlie Killam,” said Larson.

With the use of photos Larson and Lalonde demon-strated the difficulty students have when attempting to cross 49 Avenue at the crosswalk. When busses are lined up fac-ing east on 49 dropping off or picking up students, anyone attempting to cross must lean out to determine if there are any vehicles coming.

“To see around the bus-ses for any approaching cars I had to step a little bit off the sidewalk into the crosswalk,” said Larson.

Referring to another pho-

to of a close up of Lalonde’s feet at the crosswalk, Larson showed how much distance was created between the side-walk and the step out onto the road to clearly see around the buses for oncoming traffic.

“Our plan is to try to make the crosswalks and the school zone at École Charlie Kil-lam and École Sifton School a safer place, particularly at 46 Street,” said Larson.

Both schools combined host over 800 students who, along with parents, siblings and others community mem-bers, use the crosswalk at some point or another, making safety in this area a concern for everyone.

“We want to make sure this is a safe area for everyone;

we feel putting these lights in the area will make the area much safer and more visible,” commented Larson.

Larson and Lalonde also related some statistics regard-ing pedestrian safety, includ-ing common causes of cross-walk injury and the effects of injury on health, finance and overall well being.

“A pedestrian or cyclist is killed every three and half minutes around the world,” remarked Lalonde.

“We want to put up flash-ing crosswalk lights and / or flashing school zone lights to persuade drivers to slow down in the area and prevent injuries to students and other members of the community,” said Larson. “If the project is

approved we hope more people will be safer on the crosswalk than they are now because drivers will be able to see the pedestrians.”

Mayor Norm Mayer ques-tioned Larson and Lalonde as to which intersection within the area in question would be of most concern in regards to pedestrians.

“Probably 46 Street,” replied Larson. “This is the one that comes off the main highway and the cars are trav-elling different (higher) speeds in the school zone. Drivers may not slow down fast enough for people crossing. Pedestrians could potentially get hurt if drivers don’t see them.”

Councillor Throndson inquired as to whether or not

there had been any accidents involving injury or death in the area.

“In each of the last three years there has been a student from the Ecole Sifton / Ecole Charlie Killam family who has been struck by a vehicle,” said Diane Hutchinson, community relations advisor, Battle River School Division.

“Two of those incidents involved middle school stu-dents who were riding their bicycles to school and were a bit further away. The third inci-dent involved an early elemen-tary-aged child who was struck by a vehicle while crossing 49 Avenue.”

Councillor Lindstrand com-mented, “There are two things here (to be considered), safety and cost and certainly safety trumps cost all of the time.”

“However, sometimes what we think is the safest alter-native ends up not being the case. So in respect to this mat-ter I suggest we refer this to administration to study it fur-ther to come up with some various alternatives and what the cost of those alternatives would be and what safety would result from the actions we would take at this point.”

While no specific pric-ing was obtained for either option (flashing school zone or flashing crosswalk lights) Larson indicated either option would work to provide a safer crossing.

In conclusion Mayor Mayer said “We will refer this to administration to come up with some plans and costs and see if your plan is something we can turn into a reality.”

Letters of support for the initiative were received from Chief of Police Darrell Kambeitz and superintendent of schools, Battle River School Division, Rita Marler.

Students express concerns about crosswalk safety

Members of City council and the Camrose Blue Dot Committee look on as Nathalie Stanley Olson presents the OTIS award to Camrose mayor Norm Mayer. Council adopted a declaration last fall stating that all people have the right to live in a clean environment.

Students told City council that they have to step out onto the roadto clearly see around the buses and view oncoming traffic.

SeniorswelcomeOASdecision

Seniors and retirees represented by the National Pensioners’ Federation, wel-comed the announcement by Prime Minister Trudeau that the eligibility age for Old Age Security will stay at age 65 and not be increased as enacted by the previous government.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced during a town hall with Bloomberg TV in New York that the budget will restore the eligi-bility for Old Age Security to 65 from 67.

The National Pension-ers Federation opposed the increase in the eligibil-ity age, due to take effect in 2023, because so many seniors depend on OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement and could not have waited the extra two years to receive these ben-efits.

“Our members wel-come this reversal of a bad decision,” said National Pensioners’ Federation president Herb John. “Our members and older Canadi-ans across the country were outraged when this change was first proposed in 2012. Despite promises, noth-ing was ever put in place to cover those people who could not hang on for two extra years after a lifetime of struggle.”

The National Pension-ers’ Federation is a national, non partisan, non sectarian organization of 350 seniors chapters, clubs, groups, organizations and individu-al supporters across Canada with a collective member-ship of 1,000,000 seniors and retirees devoted entire-ly to the welfare and best interests of aging Canadi-ans.

By Dan JensenThe Camrose and Dis-

trict Retired Teachers’ Association is looking for new members.

The association has seen membership fall off in recent years to the point that there are only about 20 left.

“There was a time when we held our Christmas par-ties that we had more than 100 people in attendance,” said Lyle Erga, who joined the association in 1991 after a 36 year teaching career at Meeting Creek, Bawlf Hold-en and England, and has taken turns with Nan Shute serving as president. “I am not sure why the numbers have been dropping. Part of it could be the fact that the retired teachers here can get

the benefit plan by joining the provincial association.”

Camrose association members meet five times a year, usually in September, November, February, April and June to discuss sub-jects that range from health to protection against fraud. A train ride to Stettler in 2014 attracted more than 20 people.

“We keep busy,” said Erga. “There are a few peo-ple who think that the asso-ciation is little more than a coffee party, but it is quite a bit more than that.”

Part of the ARTACamrose and District

Retired Teachers’ Asso-ciation is a chapter of the Alberta Retired Teach-ers’ Association which has seen membership balloon to

17,000 since it was formed in 1962 to advocate for the well-being of retired teach-ers.

“There are so many members now that a chapter has been established in the BC Okanagan,” said Erga.

The ARTA’s success has been a tribute to the work of strong executive directors, most of whom have been teachers themselves.

“Our executive directors have shown a lot of commit-ment and a lot of energy,” said Erga. “Our current one is Daniel Mulloy, who chose us over other organizations because, as he said, we are lively and active.”

In addition to manag-ing a $2.1 million budget, ARTA publishes a magazine four times a year (News

and Views). provides $5,000 scholarships, and operates an affinity program that provides shopping discounts to members. The associa-tion also offers a benefits plan similar to the one set up by the Ontario Retired Teachers’ Association that includes extended health care similar to Blue Cross (with coverage for glasses, hearing aids and dental), and travel insurance with no age restrictions.

“You can be 99 years of age and go to Arizona with no problems,” said Erga.

The plan has been so popular that the ARTA has had requests to join from those who are not retired teachers.

“We couldn’t accept them into the plan because

they are not retired teach-ers so we had the executive set up a parallel system to make that possible,” said Erga.Camrose representatives

The low membership of the Camrose and District Retired Teachers’ Associa-tion has caused problems with being able to send rep-resentatives to ARTA pro-vincial level meetings.

“We were able to send two of our members to the last ARTA annual general meeting but I don’t think we will be able to have anyone go to the next one unless our membership increases,” said Erga. “The cost of joining the ARTA (and by extension the Camrose association) is only $5, so I don’t think money should be a problem.”

Rockin’ the rink for Courtland’s HopeBy Lori Larsen

When the cost of required medical equipment is not finan-cially feasible having organiza-tions, such as Courtland’s Hope Foundation not only helps to enrich the lives of the disabled children who benefit greatly from having the equipment, but also the lives of the family struggling to provide the needed equipment.

ChallengeThe residents of Camrose

and area are invited to extend the Foundation’s reach by par-ticipating in or making a dona-tion to the Challenge Accepted “Rockin’ the Rink” Ball Hock-ey Tournament at the Max McLean Arena on April 30.

The event will run from approximately 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“Teams are comprised of four to six players and they must be 18 years or older,” said Dan Olsen, president of Chal-lenge Accepted fundraiser. “Last year was our first year. We had 10 teams registered and raised $1,460 for Camrose Association for Community Living. This year we already have 12 teams registered and we are capping it at 20 teams.

“The Norseman is sup-plying all the beer for the beer gardens which we will be charg-ing for, with the proceeds going towards Courtland’s Hope. The City of Camrose has been great too, they donated prizes as well as giving us a reduction on the fee for the arena.”

Challenge Accepted is a small fundraising group ser-vicing Camrose and area that began in 2015 with a mission to be inclusive to anyone who wants to volunteer time and effort to impact Camrose and surrounding area.

“Last year it was just myself putting this together and this year all my friends want to help so now we have set up a group comprised of Kim Buxton, Craig Christenson, Travis Rog-ers, Cole Tomaszewski, Lindsey Seto and Byron Oppen.

What started out last year with just Dan, has expanded to a group of friends who enjoy getting together, getting some exercise, and having some fun, all the while giving back to their community.

“We heard of Courtland’s Hope Foundation through the Petruk family,” said Dan Olsen, Challenge Accepted president. “Their son Nate received some assistance from Courtland’s Hope and were very happy to recommend them for our next fundraiser.

“After speaking to Melanie Patterson I was so impressed with how much passion and effort she is willing to put into her charity. She made it easy for us to put this fundraiser on and donate all the proceeds to her foundation.”

CharityMelanie Patterson estab-

lished Courtland’s Hope Foun-dation in 2012, inspired by her own son, Courtland, who has a rare form of cerebral palsy.

The Foundation has the mission to provide much needed equipment for disabled children that may be financially out of reach for the family.

In addition to this, the Foundation provides equipment and services, such as horse back riding, that are not covered by Alberta government programs like Alberta Aids to Daily Living

“To date we have assisted nine children,” said Patterson.

“We just finished a fun-draiser on Feb. 20 where we raised $1,500. Our goal is to help 25 families this year.”

The Foundation has also donated funds to the Manluk Centre in Westaskiwin for pool chairs.

“The pool chairs are used for physical therapy in the pool and can benefit several people,” said Melanie.

“We are also hoping to get Caroline’s carts into all the major grocery stores here in Camrose.”

Caroline’s carts are con-structed to enable children with special needs to be transported with ease through a store.

“It is difficult to go shop-ping because there is not enough room for the child (special needs) in the (normal store) carts. The Caroline’s carts are large enough for the child (with special needs) to sit up properly,” said Melanie.

“This is part of what we do as a foundation. We want to help as many families as we can and

be instrumental in getting carts placed in the stores.”

There are plans to eventu-ally expand the Foundation to include not only providing more equipment and services, but a support group program as well.

“The Foundation is growing out of necessity,” said Melanie. “We want families to see they are not alone in this and that

we can grow together and build friendships with other families who have children with disabili-ties, which is very important.

“It can be a hard journey a lot of times and parents can feel isolated.”

For more information on Courtland’s Hope foundation visit courtlandshope.org/or call 1-844-467-4642 toll free.

For more information, to register (registration ends April 20) a team, or make a donation of prizes or cash for the “Rockin the Rink” Ball Hockey Tour-nament (all proceeds going to Courtland’s Hope Foundation), email: [email protected] or call Dan Olsen at 587-582-5189.

Spring CleaningI realize that the title of

this column may lead read-ers to the mistaken belief that I am busy restoring closets and cupboards to their glorious uncluttered selves at home, but this is sadly not the case.

This spring, I have been ruminating about some of my inner qualities that I’m less than fond of and decided to do some internal “spring cleaning.” There is a phrase in conversation that

has become tediously overused and it is this one: “I’m just not very good with names.” I had actually started to hear this so much that I now become disgusted with the speaker and think to myself, “Then get better.” I used to think that I wasn’t good with names myself, and now I’ve decided that this is a sly way of saying that the person you’re visiting with is so unimportant that you can’t com-mit their name to memory.

There are times when remembering everyone we meet is quite difficult. As my children grow, I am continu-ally meeting other parents at school and activities. I have turned it into a challenge to remember their names. I associate their name with something else, repeat it in conversation both out loud and in my head, and write it down when I get home. My goal is that the next time I meet that person, while I may still be processing who they are at first, I will be able to recall their name by the time we part.

There have been a couple of times that my husband has called someone by the wrong name; but I can’t fault him for it, as his heart is in the right place. My mom had an awkward conversation during her last visit to Florida. She was visiting with a British couple who rent a room below them each year, and she referred to them as “the Horns.” The woman paused, and then replied “We’re actually the Flutes.” Whoops! Talk about name associa-tions not turning out well. But at least the intentions were correct.

I am also not a very good listener. Well, I’m not. I have to clamp my mouth shut to stop myself from interrupting someone because, well, I have things to say too! And I better get them out quick before I need to separate fight-ing children. I am often thinking about what I am going to say next while a person is still talking. Imagine a world where everyone did this. I truly appreciate the active listeners in my life and am striving to become more like them, thinking about what the other person is saying and formulating questions about what they’ve just said instead of interjecting my own stories.

My love of lists has become highly neurotic. Scraps of lists on my kitchen island, on my fridge, in notebooks, in my head. Lists broken down into further lists. I find that I am repeating a list over and over in my head of what things I need to get done that afternoon, evening or the next day. I was once listing these things in my head while my daughter was talking to me, and suddenly realized with horror that she was finally spilling the story about how she was hurt in the school yard and I would be expected to remember what she had said! Which would be difficult since I wasn’t really listening in the first place. This was now combining two problems – not being really present when I should be and not listening properly! Things were getting really serious.

Over Easter break, I undertook an experiment. Each afternoon, I took a few hours where I banished lists from my head. I told them to skedaddle. I looked into my chil-dren’s shining faces as we learned new sports together, turned a pile of fallen down trees into an impressive col-lection of tree forts, discussed the changing seasons and splashed down waterslides together. I am present. I am listening. I have no lists. And yes, I plan to remember their names.

By Murray GreenEach year, more than 13

million Canadians dedicate countless hours to causes that mean the world to them. Whether you volunteer for your local minor hockey association, at your seniors’ centre, or for a service club organization, one person’s volunteer contribution has the power to impact lives, including our own, while strengthening communi-ties.

National Volunteer Week is from April 10 to 16 and it is dedicated to both recogniz-ing the important contribu-tions Canadians make to the places we live, as well as the positive impacts volunteer-ing brings to the lives of the people who do it. National Volunteer Week has a long legacy, originating in 1943 to draw attention to the critical contributions women made to the war effort on the home front. The initiative was

revived in the 1960s to cel-ebrate the growing engage-ment of civic participation across the country.

Albertans have a rich history of volunteering and community involvement and have been celebrating Nation-al Volunteer Week for over 20 years. During National Volunteer Week (NVW) com-munities throughout Alberta and across the nation cele-brate the contribution volun-teers make in our communi-ties with recognition events and awareness campaigns.

In 1990, the third week in April was proclaimed National Volunteer Week in all communities across the country. This week is now firmly established as the highlight of the year for pay-ing tribute to Canada’s vol-unteers.

Local, regional, nation-al and international events intended to involve all

aspects of the community are held throughout the week to increase awareness of the important role of volunteers and nonprofit/voluntary sec-tor and to encourage volun-teerism in our communities.

Regardless of whether your passion is nature, sports or education, the gift of lend-ing a hand and time has the power to change a commu-nity, change a country and even change the world.

National Volunteer Week is about taking action and encouraging individuals and their respective communities to be at the centre of social change – discovering and actively demonstrating their collective power to make a difference.

Explore the exciting volunteer opportunities in your area this spring and summer as Canadians celebrate the 13th annual National Volunteer Week.

Do your loved ones know what type of medical care you would want if you were unable to speak for yourself?

Many of us “save for a rainy day”, plan for retire-ment, or even plan our next vacation. Just as important, we need to plan for our health care future – and make sure our wishes are known.

April 16, 2016 is Nation-al Advance Care Planning Day. Alberta Health Ser-vices is encouraging you to think about, talk about and document your wishes for healthcare to ensure your voice is heard. Advance

Care Planning allows your family or close friends to know what kind of care you want, and could bring com-fort and peace of mind to those making healthcare decisions on your behalf.

On April 16, take the time to talk to your friends and family about your wishes. If there’s an unex-pected event or change in your health and you aren’t able to make decisions about your healthcare, having a plan in place ensures your wishes are known.

Wild Rose Co-operative postsa year of record savings

GENEROUS DONATION TO NEIGHBOR AIDLori Larsen, Camrose Booster

Camrose Wild Rose Co-op Food Store matched in cash the $11,700 worth of Good Buy to Hunger Bags purchased by customers and members during December 2015, making for food and cash donations of $23,400 to Camrose Neighbor Aid Center. Pictured from left to right are Co-op cashier Candace Davey, Co-op general manager Carol Rollheiser, executive director of Neighbor Aid Jo-Anne Tweed and Co-op supervisor Adam Donohue.

By Dan JensenThe Wild Rose Co-oper-

ative Association had its best year of local savings on record in the business year that ended last Oct. 31.

“We improved our sales in most commodities,” said general manager Carol Rollheiser at the associa-tion’s ninth annual meet-ing in Camrose March 23. “Sales dollars were impacted by the price of fuel as it was on the downslide with the world price of inputs, but we still increased the volume of fuel that we sold. Our chemi-cal sales were down as a result of the lack of rain in June and July. Our patron-age allocation from Federat-ed Co-operatives was down due to reduced earnings at the CRC refinery in Regina. So at the end of the day our bottom line net savings was very similar to last year.”

Profits sharedWild Rose Co-operative

Association will allocate $3.6 million to the association’s 25,000 owners, of which $2 million will be paid in cash. Five per cent will be paid out on fuel purchases, four per cent on food products, four per cent on crop inputs, 10 per cent on lubricants, and two per cent on lumber and hardware.

“The $3.6 million in profits are staying right here in Camrose, Killam, Sedgewick, Viking, Hard-isty, Alliance, Galahad and the surrounding area,” said Rollheiser. “And $2 million is going directly back into the local economies because you supported your Co-op and your Co-op was profitable.”

Wild Rose Co-operative Association president Teresa Beddoes said the associa-tion’s financial accomplish-ments were achieved by a strong membership believ-ing in and supporting the co-op.

“The board believes in allocating earnings back to

the membership based on the level of business each member conducts. The board aims to maximize the patronage allocations to the membership while still maintaining sufficient capi-tal to facilitate the short and long-term requirements of our business units.”

Highlights from 2015Wild Rose Co-operative

Association highlights in 2015 included the completion of the Camrose Food Store upgrade, the purchase of an additional ‘pup’ to deliver fuel more efficiently to mem-bers, the re-introduction of grocery deliveries to the Camrose market, the com-pletion of the renovation of the Killam petroleum office and continued progress with the new corporate perfor-mance management strate-gic planning model.

The slowing economy in the province, cautious spending by consumers and intense competition are rea-sons for uncertainty in 2016.

“Gross margins (the dol-lars that pay our bills) are already shrinking as the result of increased cost of goods sold – mostly the direct result of the lower Canadian dollar and pricing pressure from the competition, as well as inventory write downs on product in the tanks as the prices drop,” said Rollheiser. “As a co-operative we are as susceptible to these chal-lenges as any business. Our difference is a loyal member-ship, an engaged employee team, a strong local commu-nity base and a diversified business. We will continue to strengthen our balance sheet through solid fiscal forward thinking decisions that benefit all members in the long run with a stronger co-op.”

Board was busyWild Rose Co-operative

Association board members represented the co-op in 2016 at special events and

various functions, including Dividend Days in May, the District Caucus meeting in June, the Edmonton Region fall conference in November, scholarship presentations to community youth, and the annual general meeting of Federated Co-operative Limited in Saskatoon. The directors may also partici-pate in director development program training at the regional fall conference or by participating in on-line training through the FCL, where they receive the tools they need to become stra-tegic in carrying our their roles and responsibilities.

“Our January planning sessions bring the board and management together to review and strengthen our business strategies,” said Beddoes. “These strat-egies must align with our vision and mission state-ments. These sessions give the board and management an opportunity to look at any business priorities that may be reachable and meet the future demands and expec-tations of our members. We believe in reinvesting in our assets for the long term ben-efit of the co-op and for the communities we serve.”

FCL annual meetingWild Rose Co-operative

Association board member Dale Johnson reported that while Federated Co-opera-tives Association’s refinery complex saw earnings drop 24.7 per cent in 2015, it saw growth in most other busi-ness units, including crop supplies, feed, food, home and building supplies.

“Needless to say revenue was down from last year by 16.1 per cent to $9.1 billion, from $10.8 billion the previ-ous year,” he said. “Net earn-ings $539 million compared to $656 million, still allocat-ing $375 million to our retail members. A solid financial performance in a very vola-tile market.”

Byrd, Raymond bring country music to cityBy Murray Green

Jonathan Byrd, Corin Raymond and the Pick Up Cowboys will be stopping in Camrose as part of the Rose City Roots Music Society series Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m.

Raymond, who has played in the Roots series in the past, is a Winnipeg-born writer. He is admired for his incisive songwriting, witty banter and compelling stage presence. Over a 15 year career he has toured exten-sively on three continents as a solo artist, as part of roots duo The Undesirables with his band, The Sundowners, and, most recently, as a sto-ryteller, performing his one-man show Bookworm, which was an award-winning hit on the Fringe Festival circuit.

Byrd grew up singing in the Southern Baptist church, where his father preached and his mother played pia-no. After four years in the navy, he returned to home to play in rock bands. It was at an old-time fiddle festival in the mountains of southwest Virginia where his writing began to change. Assimi-lating the sounds of south-ern traditional music, Byrd wrote new songs in an ancient style. After 10 years as a full-time touring song-writer and seven acclaimed albums, he is getting the attention he deserves.

Tickets are available online at www.baileytheatre.com or at the Bailey Theatre Box Office.

Giving up the green for a good causeBy Lori Larsen

If you want to “chip” in a helping hand, Camrose Open Door Association is hosting its 11th annual Open Door Golf Tournament, presented by Five Star Home Solutions.

The event will take place on May 28 from 1 to 8 p.m. at Camrose Golf Course.

“We really focus on the fun aspect,” said Randal Nickel Camrose Open Door executive director. “The feedback we get is that people have a really good time and they feel good about rais-ing funds for Youth Shelter and support, which is where all the proceeds are going.”

“Last year we had a net of just under $20,000 raised and this year our target is to cross the $20,000 mark and get to $25,000.”

According to Nickel, cheat-ing is encouraged and, in fact, cheater packages will be sup-plied. The tournament will include other fun events such as a putting competition and $1 million shoot out.

“Five people will get a chance to shoot for $1 million,

one shot from about 165 yards,” explained Nickel “People buy raffle tickets for it and we chose five people to shoot.”

There will be a new twist in the tournament this year, but suffice it to say you will have “S’more” fun than you can imagine. The day ends with a dinner at the golf course at 6 p.m., silent and live auctions, and prizes.

“We want to make sure there are many opportunities for people to win things, have a good time and maybe walk away with a prize.”

Individual or team golf-ers are all welcome, however the number of entrants will be capped off at 120.

“The event has been sold out three years in a row so get your tickets early,” commented Nickel.

Registration on the day of the tournament begins at 11 a.m. on the second floor of the Camrose Golf Course. All golf-ers must register.

For more information or to make auction or other dona-tions, visit www.camroseopen-door.com/or call 780-679-6803.

By Murray GreenThe Battle River Writ-

ing Centre will be hosting a poetry workshop with Ste-ven Ross Smith on Friday, April 15, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park.

It will be a celebration with April as poetry month. You can register for the workshop at [email protected], phoning 780-672-9315, or 780-672-8177.

Smith is one of Can-ada’s pre-eminent sound poets. He is also one of the few poets in Canada cur-rently engaged in writing a life poem (a long poem that encompasses a life).

He has served as the director of Sage Hill Writing Experience and director of Literary Arts at The Banff Centre. He is visiting the Battle River area as part of the Canadian Authors Asso-ciation Writer in Residence program.

Smith is a poet, fic-tion, non-fiction writer, and a sound and performance poet. He has been publish-ing books since the 1970s and was a member of the legendary sound poetry group, Owen Sound.

He has published 13 books. Smith’s Fluttertongue 3 disarray won the 2005 Saskatchewan Book of the Year Award. Pliny’s Knick-ers, a collaboration between Smith, poet Hilary Clark and artist Betsy Rosenwald, won the 2006 Nichol Chap-book Award. Smith’s new book of poetry, Emanations: Fluttertongue 6, appeared in 2015 from BookThug.

Smith has been pub-lished in journals, audio recordings and videos. He currently lives and writes in Banff and on Galiano Island, B.C.

For more information about Steven and his creative approaches to poetry and art, go to fluttertongue.ca; stevenrosssmith.com and on Twitter @SonnyBoySmith.

“It was during his ten-ure at Banff Centre that we met him and began to dis-cuss possibilities for future collaborations with the Bat-tle River Writing Centre. We are very privileged that he is able to be with us on April 15 – to lead us in what will definitely be an excit-ing time in the discovery of new ways of expressing ourselves,” said Jane Ross, on behalf of the hosts of the workshop.

Smith will talk and have tasks about: lan-guage (verbs, sound, sense and detail); writing exer-cise with poetry; daily practice discussion; a sec-ond writing exercise on prose; and a discussion on resources.

GIRL GUIDES COLLECT BOOKS FOR LITERACYMurray Green, Camrose Booster

Camrose 1st Girl Guides donated books they collected on Family Literacy Day (Feb. 27) to Lynn Hartwick of Camrose Family Literacy to give other children who may not have as much. Back row from left, leaders Karen Koehli-Kozack, Carolyn McCabe, Hartwick and Rosy Caccamo. Girl Guides, front row from left, Trinity Grant, Chloe Caccamo, Paige Cameron, Hailey Miller, Grace Hermider, Hannah Bates, Laci Stordahl, Hailey Gillett and Grace Wallace. The girls are between nine and 11 years old in Girl Guides.

The Appraisal Institute of Canada is encouraging property owners to engage a professional appraiser to help them do their own due diligence when determining an optimal list price of their property. Appraisals con-ducted by designated and qualified appraisers provide an unbiased and indepen-dent opinion of value on a property.

“An Appraisal Insti-tute of Canada designated appraiser who is actively working in the local mar-ket area can assist a seller by providing an appraisal report that provides an unbiased current market value for the property sup-ported by comprehensive research on recent transac-tions of comparable proper-ties,” states Daniel Doucet AACI, P. App, president of the Appraisal Institute of Canada. “An unbiased opin-ion of value provides a seller – or a buyer – with one more piece of information that they can use to make an informed decision regarding the list price of their home.”

Professional appraisers use a number of methods to arrive at an opinion of mar-ket value. Under the Cana-dian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, AIC members also conduct a three-year sales history and a one-year list-ing history search and anal-ysis of the property they are appraising.

An appraisal report will help property owners to bet-ter understand a market’s sales and listing history; exposure time to sell a prop-erty; supply and demand for similar property; structural characteristics; assessment data; title restrictions; zon-ing; and, land use controls.

“For an investment as important and as signifi-cant as your home, being diligent and informed is important especially in markets where speculation and emotion can drive the purchase price of homes,” states Keith Lancastle, CEO of the Appraisal Insti-tute of Canada. “Engaging an AIC designated apprais-er to conduct an indepen-dent appraisal is another critical step that sellers should take to ensure they make an informed financial decision.”

The Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC) is a lead-ing real property valua-tion association with over 5,000 members across Can-ada. Established in 1938, the AIC works collabora-tively with its 10 provin-cial affiliated associations to grant the distinguished Accredited Appraiser Cana-dian Institute (AACI™) and Canadian Residential Appraiser (CRA™) designa-tions.

By Lori LarsenCity council has approved the redistricting of Lot 6 Block 40

Plan 7929401 at 4802-46 Street for a new housing development.Only two inquiries were received by the City, one for clari-

fication and one out of concern about what the notification was about and how the process worked.

There was nobody registered to speak at a public hearing.Shawn MacKinnon from Five Star Home Solutions, of

Camrose, described for council the development plans.“Our plan is to do smaller footprint homes but very high

end,” said McKinnon.Councillor Agnes Hoveland questioned whether there are

any social trends in housing that are showing this is a popular decision.

MacKinnon responded by saying there were two main reasons for the decision.

“It is kind of a social trend but it was more for people with children in college.

“A lot of times people sending their children to college may end up buying homes because they don’t want to pay rent. Generally they end up buying a fixer upper and putting money into it. This year alone we renovated 10 homes for people who purchased them for their children going to Augustana.

“We asked all of these people if they had the option to buy something that was higher end, with a small footprint and unlike a fourplex or duplex what would they do. They said they would jump at that chance.”

MacKinnon explained that developments such as these are popular around universities and colleges but are also becoming used for senior living.

“The higher end finishings are key. Similar to a condo but in a separate unit getting away from having the neighbors’ wall right beside you.”

According to MacKinnon the units are also less expensive to heat and are a good fit for people who no longer want to be tied down to the restraints of a large home but still want the luxuries afforded to them with a custom build.

City manager Malcolm Boyd questioned the fact that the first reading of the bylaw included the construction of five single detached family dwellings but the current plans indi-cated six.

“There will be six,” replied MacKinnon. “Even with six you can see they are still not sitting on top

of each other. I believe from roof top to roof top we have them at 18 feet apart.”

“With single family dwellings you need to be able to have that space and have room for a side yard.”

Councillor Max Lindstrand inquired as to the time frame. “Our plan is to have these done by the end of fall this year,”

said MacKinnon.Redistricting

The purpose of redistricting the lot from a high density residential district (R4) to a direct control district (DC) was to promote the proposed project of constructing single detached micro housing on that lot.

“The redistricting report identifies that this is five units and that was the original plan,” stated Aaron Leckie, director of planning and development.

“We are now moving up to six with the blessing of our department. We still think that is an appropriate level for the development of this site.”

Leckie advised council the addition (of five to six units) should be reflected in both the report and the bylaw.

“The move from R4 to direct control is necessary as the properties and the configuration of these lots, should they be subdivided, would not meet the minimum lot sizes in any land use district,” explained Leckie.

“There are some examples of higher density and some lower density single family dwellings on larger lots and this more-or-less fits somewhere in the middle. I would categorize this as low to medium density development.”

“In Augustana area, immediately to the south of this devel-opment, there are examples of homes built during the inter-war period that are actually of a similar size. So this is a unique and innovative new development but the footprint is something that already existed and coincides with other types and larger developments in Camrose for some time.”

Leckie referred to a remark made by a member of the public after the closing of submissions.

“It was from somebody who spoke strongly in favour of the project but was not associated with the project,” he said. “They thought it was a great opportunity for Camrose and that we should capitalize on what other municipalities are seeing as a change in housing trends and felt this fills a housing gap in the community.

“The Municipal Development Plan makes reference to sup-porting a mix of housing types and this is definitely something new in Camrose. It is hitting on many niche markets that we feel exist just from the inquiries we have received through our office.

Bandits capture southern final seriesBy Murray Green

In the end, the better team won.

The Camrose Kodiaks playoff run stalled when the Brooks Bandits eliminated them in four games. Cam-rose defeated the Olds Griz-zlys and Okotoks Oilers in the playoffs, but the Bandits stole the show in the south-ern final series in the Alber-ta Junior Hockey League.

Brooks ended the series with a 5-1 victory in the EnCana Arena on April 5.

The Bandits scored once in the opening period and added another in the middle frame before the Kodiaks started to crumble under the pressure.

After Brooks built up a 5-0 lead, captain Cam Gota-as notched the lone Camrose marker with two minutes left on the clock.

Goalie Patrick Gora turned away 30 of 35 shots, while Camrose fired 31 shots on goal.

Brooks dominated the third game of the series with a 9-2 win in Camrose on April 4. The Kodiaks started strong, but were down 1-0 after the first period.

The Bandits poured on the pressure in the second. They out shot Camrose 28-6 and led 5-2 when the dust had settled after 40 minutes.

Tanner Younghans and Cole McBride replied for Camrose. Gora stopped 46 of 55 shots that he faced. The Kodiaks had 29 shots on goal.

The Bandits shut out Camrose 4-0 in the second

game of the series. Gora made 42 of 46 saves, while Camrose only had 16 shots on the opposing net despite having nine power play opportunities.

In the series opener, Brooks won 4-1 with Ryan

Rebelato netting the single tally for the Kodiaks. Gora made 44 of 48 saves.

McBride led the Kodiaks in playoff scoring with five goals and 18 points in 12 games.

Nelson Gadoury, Cam

Gotaas, Trevor Costello, Ethan James, Tyler Mor-rison and Stefan Danielson have now graduated from the Kodiaks.

Bear factsThe Kodiaks’ Spring

Camp was a huge success

with 170 players in atten-dance. General manager and coach Boris Rybalka said the future looks bright for the Kodiaks.

The best players will be invited back to main camp in August.

Kucy golfsat AugustaBy Murray Green

Golfer Jayla Kucy didn’t find the success she was looking for in her return to the Drive Chip and Putt finals in Augus-ta, Georgia, April 3.

She placed 10th on the same course that hosts the Master’s Golf Tourna-ment. Kucy was ninth in driving, fifth in chipping and seventh in putting.

Jayla qualified for the finals during the semi-finals in Washington State last fall.

The Grade 4 student competed in the girls’ 10 and 11 category as one of the youngest in her category. She scored 123 points in the drive, chip and putt events to become the overall cham-pion in the semifinals.

She finished tied for eighth in the North American Champion-ships last year.

In 2014, Jayla quali-fied in Park City, Utah to earn a trip to the North American cham-pionships for the first time.

The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta presented its 2016 Alum-ni Citation Award to Les Parsons April 7 for his leader-ship role with students.

The award recognizes the contributions of a non-alumnus.

Parsons has been a volunteer coach for the Camrose Ski Club and Augustana Vikings for the past two seasons.

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger said Parsons is an advisor and mentor who involves himself extensively with athletics and outdoor education, and has commit-ted to the Camrose commu-nity through organization.

“His contagious energy and optimism infuse life and hope into the lives of just about every person he touches.”

Parsons brought a wealth of experience to share with Nordic athletes in Camrose. He began competing in cross-country skiing at the Univer-sity of Alberta in Edmonton. For 15 years, he coached the Vermilion Nordic and Lake-land College ski teams. Four of his Vermilion athletes developed into national team athletes in cross-country ski-ing, biathlon, cross-country

running and track and field. He was the club coach of 2002 Olympic gold medalist Beckie Scott from Vermilion.

“I was just a volunteer,” said Les. “I never intended to coach professionally. Some mother convinced me to coach and said she would provide food for me. I was a bachelor and thought it was a good deal.”

He then coached in Que-bec City for seven years, with continued success as the club coach of 2011 world champion gold medalist Alex Harvey. For another four years, he coached in Edmonton, pro-ducing yet another youth Olympian, Matt Saurette.

Parsons measures his success not by medal wins, but by the impact he has in his role as a coach. He con-tributes to the development of young athletes, helping them to become good people and leaders in our society.

In 2014, the Alberta Col-leges Athletic Conference (ACAC) celebrated its 50th anniversary by establishing a Hall of Fame for the thou-sands of athletes, coaches and builders who have par-ticipated in the ACAC. Fifty people were selected to be honoured at the inaugural event and Les Parsons was one of them.

Outdoor education instructor Morten Asfeldt said Parsons has had a trans-formational impact on the Camrose Ski Club and com-munity of Camrose that go far beyond his duties as a coach.

“He has endless energy and is able to make skiing and training enjoyable for both beginners and seasoned ski-ers alike. He is selfless with his time often holding three or four separate training ses-sions a day to accommodate the complicated schedules of parents, children, university students, and seniors.

Asfeldt is impressed with Parson’s coaching philosophy.

“He coaches people first and skiers second,” he said. “What this means is that coaching skiing, running or triathlon is first about empowering the people and second about helping them to increase their athletic perfor-mance. In the end, coaching for Les is a means to an end rather than an end in itself. The end for Les is to use ath-letics as a means to empower people to live healthy life-styles, to see beyond their own self-imposed limitations, and to inspire people to serve others in order to create a more humane and caring world.”

To save money for the Augustana ski team, he sometimes slept in the van at ski races or found a friend’s floor to sleep on, rather than take a hotel room as the ath-letes did.

“Les is a man who makes an immediate and lasting impact on people,” said Asfeldt. “He has an energy that is contagious and a spirit and optimism that infuses life and hope into other people’s lives. He is the living example of ser-vice to others before self.”

Continued from page 24The City worked with the

developer and builder as the project moved forward and was supplied with detailed renderings and examples of all the materials to be used.

Leckie provided council with specific samples of the siding being used by the build-er.

“There will be two units each of red, green and black,” he said.

“We asked them to finalize this very early on in the process which really emphasized the amount of work they put in because they feel as passionate about this project as members of the City administration. They have really gone out of their way to provide us with the information we needed to come up with a concise report for council.”

Development PermitAs a follow-up to the

redistricting approval, admin-istration provided council with an in-depth analysis of the six tiny home development, rec-ommending approval for the permit based on conditions outlined by administration.

“In our analysis, not only did it meet all of our require-ments but this is a housing project that we feel is taking off,” said Leckie.

“We don’t feel there are any privacy concerns or impacts on adjacent properties.”

“It’s important to note the reason why we moved to direct control is because this is not a typical single family dwelling. It is something innovative, something new but it still complies with our Downtown Action Plan, Municipal Development Plan and, in principle, the land use bylaw.

“The land use bylaw is intended to support projects like this when you deal with it on a site by site basis. The line has to be drawn somewhere on what’s appropriate for a single family dwelling neighborhood and what’s appropriate for more of a collection of certain types of development.”

Council approved the development permit subject to several conditions: develop-ment within the direct con-trol land use district as per submitted plans; compliance with the Downtown Action Plan; a performance (dam-age) deposit of $6,000 due prior to receiving building permit; submission of a lot drainage plan, approval of a building permit, construction compliant with the Alberta Building Code; development meets all requirements of utility companies and munici-pal services; developer must enter into a development agreement with the City; and development must include the required six trees and 12 shrubs and include the required 12 hard surfaced parking stalls.

University mini-labs go into elementary classroomsBy Lori Larsen

What happens when you take three bright, enthusias-tic and dedicated students and give them free rein to develop prototypes of chem-istry labs to be used for demonstrations, magic? The answer may be surprising.

Dr. Brian Rempel, asso-ciate professor (chemistry) for the University of Alber-ta Augustana approached Carly Olafson, Cole Smith and Natalie Marsden to assist him by putting togeth-er mini-labs to be used in the university chemistry class-rooms.

“The project started last year as a way to help me get prepped for class,” said Rempel.

At the time no-one real-ized the immense potential of the project.

“The idea (demonstrat-ing the mini-labs in elemen-tary school classrooms) was a combination of the Com-munity Service Learning office with students really curious about chemistry,” said Shara Harke, team lead of the Learning-Advising-Beyond office.

“Then a partnership formed with expressed inter-est from the school division and the teacher community.”

“That’s the goal of Com-munity Service Learning. Our role in this specific pro-gram has been to help con-nect the students with the teachers and the classrooms, connect them to the com-munity.”

Rempel explained that preparing the mini labs for use in the university classrooms was just the beginning of an even vaster initiative.

“Now these students are connecting with what we hope to be our next genera-tion of Augustana students,” he said.

The mini labs consist of small plastic portable stor-age boxes, each containing the contents needed to con-duct a specific experiment designed to be easily trans-ported in and out of class-rooms. Presently there are approximately 18 to 20 mini labs, but the three Augus-tana chemistry students con-tinue to research and come up with more ideas that can be taken out to the commu-nity elementary classrooms.

Although somewhat ner-vous at first to speak to a classroom of eager elementa-ry students, Olafson, Smith

and Marsden soon found the experience not only enjoyable but beneficial.

“Often times we (uni-versity chemistry students) would be in the lab strug-gling away with differ-ent projects,” said Olafson. “Going into the classrooms (elementary) and seeing the excitement on the students’ faces and hearing them all say that they want to grow up and do science really helped us understand why these kind of projects are important for the community.”

The rewards for Olafson, Smith and Marsden didn’t stop there.

“This is part of the rea-son I went into chemistry,” commented Smith.

“I really enjoyed the demonstrations my high school teacher did, to be able to have seen them in Grade 2 would have been even more exciting.

“It is pretty easy to entertain the younger stu-dents. The most difficult part of it is trying to explain

to them this is what we do but we can’t really tell you why it happens. The stu-dents (elementary) all still love it whether they know how it works or not, some of it is just the wonder.”

Aside from the obvious benefit this initiative pro-vides to the community of Camrose, the community of science benefits as well.

“Coming to Augustana there is a small group of chemistry majors,” said Marsden. “So being able to go out into the community and show kids how fun and exciting chemistry can be can be really beneficial for getting people interested in chemistry in the future.

“A lot of the elemen-tary students would ask how they could learn to do experiments and we would tell them they have to stay in school and keep reading their books.”

The mini labs that are taken out for demonstration in the elementary class-rooms contain experiments

that are not only safe but have the greatest visual and entertainment value.

“We do a lot of colour changes, fluorescent, things that make steam,” said Mars-den. “We have geared our dem-os more like a magic show.”

The payback for Olafson, Smith and Marsden extends beyond the enjoyment of see-ing their own creations.

“I would say I am more confident in the lab,” said Olafson. “Doing these dem-onstrations has helped in other areas of my learning as well. Just being able to do it on my own and the pub-lic speaking, including being able to speak and communi-cate to different groups.”

Smith indicated his con-fidence in his university lab work has improved.

“When we started this project I was in my second year,” he said. “I remember one day there was a lab that involved acid and it is fairly dangerous. I was told I could measure it out myself. I real-ized if you follow the instruc-

tions you will be fine and if you make mistakes you have to find them yourself. It’s great to be able to do a few things on my own.”

With Marsden, the benefits extended beyond Camrose.

“I have actually been in touch with my high school chemistry and biology teach-ers talking about this pro-gram and they want me to come and sit down with them to discuss how they may be able to adopt something similar,” she said. “They want to see how they can get some of their Grade 12 high school students to do some easy demos in elementary schools in my hometown. That was really rewarding.”

Olafson, Smith and Marsden not only share their joy of chemistry but a strong message to young students that education is the key to success.

As for these three Augustana students, their future goals include further post secondary studies and long term ambitions.

Olafson will graduate from Augustana this year then possibly take a year off, after which her goals are to apply for grad school with plans to pursue a career in chemistry research within industry.

Smith is in his third year at Augustana with the goal of completing a four year degree then moving into medicine and eventually becoming a general practi-tioner in his hometown of Carstairs.

Marsden is graduating from Augustana this year and is also hoping to take a year off before going into medicine and pursing a career as a pediatric oncolo-gist.

“These three have been incredible,” commented Rem-pel on the efforts of Olafson, Smith and Marsden. “The amount of work they’ve put in is way beyond the hours they needed for the class itself. They have spent so much time researching things in books, online, anywhere you can imagine. They were so independent.

“This type of learn-ing is something you can’t teach. Sometimes you throw students into the deep end and see if they will sink or swim (figura-tively speaking) and these three students swam like you wouldn’t believe.”

Three mad scientists made an appearance at St. Patrick Catholic School on April 6. Uni-versity of Alberta Augustana chemistry students Natalie Marsden, Carly Olafson and Cole Smith delighted Grade 2 students with their smoking science, or in their words, magic experiment, as part of their mini lab demonstrations put on for local elementary schools.

SubmittedCameron Cote will be

giving a Life Matters presen-tation in Camrose, on Mon-day, April 18.

Cote is the western out-reach director for the Cana-dian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR). In 2013, he graduated from the Univer-

sity of Victoria with a degree in biology with a focus in genetics.

His involvement with the pro-life movement began when, as a university stu-dent, he saw the reality of what abortion does to a pre-born child. Since gradua-tion, he has been working

full time with the CCBR in Calgary.

CCBR is a national pro-life organization that seeks to educate and engage the Canadian public in recog-nizing the humanity of the unborn. The centre designs projects that encourage dia-logue by visually exposing

the injustice of abortion, similar to how Dr. Mar-tin Luther King Jr. visu-ally exposed the injustice of segregation and William Wilberforce exposed the ref-ugee crisis through power-ful imagery.

By pairing these imag-es with compassionate and

Air filtersAir filters need to be

changed regularly to main-tain the right flow of air into the engine and to protect the engine from debris.

Motorists routinely check their tires for proper inflation, top off engine flu-id levels and maintain oil change schedules. But some drivers do not understand the importance of keeping engine air filters clean.

For every litre of gas a car burns, it uses the equiv-alent of 12,000 litres of air, and that air must be fil-tered to help keep an engine clean.

Air filters catch all of the dust, grime, insects, sap, leaves, and any other debris that may get sucked up past the air intake of the vehicle’s grill and into the engine itself. Without the air filter, those contaminants may compromise the engine, causing corrosion and abra-sion. Clean air filters allow just the right ratio of air to fuel to enable the engine to function properly. Without the proper combustion lev-els, vehicles cannot perform properly or efficiently and the engine may burn more gas or get fewer miles to the gallon. A dirty filter also can rob an engine of power. Drivers may notice sluggish acceleration.

Many technicians advise replacing the filter every 5,000 km. However, drivers who live in particu-larly dry and dusty regions may need to replace filters more frequently.

Mechanics can often detect when an air filter needs to be replaced. If he or she notices the air filter is particularly dirty, then it’s probably time to replace it. Replacing the filter is a rela-tively inexpensive repair for the amount of performance and peace of mind a new filter provides,


By Dan JensenThe new Ford Fusion

continues to be a game changer among midsize sedans, with the most tech-nologically advanced lineup ever.

“Fusion offers people a lot more car – including helpful technology, beautiful design and a more reward-ing driving experience than other midsize sedans,” said Lamb Ford Sales Camrose sales manager Brett Read.

Choice of enginesThe Fusion offers

plenty of choice with four engines. The standard 2.5 litre Duratec® four-cylinder engine and two available EcoBoost® engines – 1.5 litre and 2.0 litre – offer a no-compromise combination of power and efficiency. The 1.5 litre EcoBoost engine, mated to a six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission achieves up to 6.5L /100km hwy and 9.9L/100km city. The 2.0L EcoBoost®, mated to six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission fea-turing paddle shifters, deliv-ers 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque.

The hybrid and plug-in hybrid come with the 2.0 litre I-4 Atkinson-cycle engine.

To further maximize efficiency both the conven-tional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains feature electric motors and regenera-tive braking systems.

The suspension system

delivers a smooth ride, while Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) provides a responsive and comfortable driving experience. For add-ed peace of mind, the avail-able Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive system gives you trac-tion when and where you need it most.

The unique Torque Vec-toring Control system pro-vides greater traction when cornering by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip. It uses braking to adjust the speed between the front wheels while you’re accelerating through a corner, enabling the front end to hug the inside of the curve and help provide a better grip.

You don't have to know how to drive a manual trans-mission to enjoy the sporty feel of shifting gears. Using race-inspired technology, the available steering wheel-mounted paddles let you eas-ily and quickly go from gear to gear without taking your hands off the wheel.

For the Fusion models not equipped with steering wheel paddle shifters, a thumb switch is conveniently posi-tioned on the gear shift knob.

PerformanceThe Ford Fusion Hybrid

maximizes performance. Powered by an advanced lithium-Ion battery, it can travel gas-free in all-elec-tric mode even at highway speeds. When extra power

is required, the gas engine kicks in to power the battery or enhance performance. If that’s not enough, the regen-erative braking system cap-tures over 90 per cent of the brake energy, and uses it to help recharge the battery and maximize your distance. The transition is seamless. The Fusion Hybrid also features visual aids to help you drive more efficiently, including the next-genera-tion SmartGauge® cluster with EcoGuide. Watch the display grow leaves as your short-term driving efficiency increases. As your long-term driving becomes more effi-cient, vines and more leaves are displayed.

The available Active Grille Shutters are designed to help reduce air resistance and maximize fuel efficiency. When closed, they help to reduce the aerodynamic drag on the vehicle caused by air traveling through the engine compartment.

Letting you do moreAvailable SYNC® with

MyFord Touch lets you do so much. It features an eight-inch LCD centre touch screen and a four-inch LCD screen located on the instru-ment cluster for quick, easy viewing and dual USB ports. All it takes to use SYNC® with MyFord Touch™ are simple voice commands or the touch of a button. You can listen to playlists from your MP3 player, USB or

smartphone. If someone calls you while you’re listen-ing to your music, no prob-lem – SYNC® with MyFord Touch™ alerts you. You can control the interior climate. And just say the word and you can command the avail-able Navigation System to guide you to a destination. You’ll have your choice of fastest route, shortest route or EcoRoute. In EcoRoute mode, the Navigation Sys-tem instantly calculates the most fuel-efficient route and can help you achieve better fuel efficiency. All this while you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.

The available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert helps make driving safer. Using radar in the rear quarter panels to detect if a vehicle is in your blind spot, you're alerted with an indicator light in the appropriate sideview mirror. Cross-traffic alert uses radar to watch for traf-fic behind you when you're slowly backing out of a park-ing spot or your driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 13 metres away, the system sends an audible warning, a visual display in the corre-sponding mirror and a signal in the message centre.

Put the gear selector in reverse and the standard rear view camera automati-cally transmits the image of what’s behind you to either

your 4.2-inch MyFord® screen or eight-inch MyFord Touch® screen.

The available Lane-Keeping System includes both the lane-keeping alert and the lane-keeping aid. A camera mounted behind the windshield watches road lane markings to determine vehicle position and detects a lane departure. The system can operate during the day or night.

Lane-keeping alert warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations, which mimic a rumble strip, should the system detect an unintentional lane departure.

DesignWith its athletic lines

and sleek silhouette, the 2016 Ford Fusion conveys a sense of agility. The bold, hexago-nal grille gives the Fusion a distinctive look, while low-profile laser-cut projector headlights and LED tail-lights hint at its intelligence. Open the door and available ambient lighting with seven colour choices establishes the mood, just as the available leather-trimmed seats com-municate luxury and sophis-tication. Adding to its style and comfort are the work-manship and premium qual-ity of the materials used in crafting the Fusion.

You can see the 2016 Ford Fusion at Lamb Ford Sales at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for a friendly sales profes-sional.

Vehicles rely on many components working har-moniously to function at optimal capacity. Any num-ber of systems can go wrong, and oftentimes the first indication that something has gone awry is an illumi-nated dashboard signal.

One such signal is the “check engine” light. Many drivers have little idea what to do when this indicator lights up, and this light can cause some anxiety. Accord-ing to Consumer Reports, a check engine light turning on does not usually require immediate action. However, it does mean that you should make an appointment to have the vehicle inspected for potential problems.

Check engine lights are part of a car’s onboard diag-nostics. The light turning on may indicate something minor, such as a loose fuel cap, or something more seri-ous like a misfiring engine. When the light turns on, drivers wondering why may want to see if the answer is related to one of the follow-ing issues.

Loose gas cap. Fuel vapors can leak out and air can get in when the fuel cap isn’t secured correctly. This can compromise the fuel system and make the check engine light come on. Take off the cap and then reseal it to see if that alleviates the problem. Cracked caps will need to be replaced.

Dirty oxygen sensor. A

faulty or clogged sensor may not provide the right infor-mation about unburned oxygen from the vehi-cle’s exhaust. This sensor monitors how much fuel is burned. Compromised data can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency. Some do-it-your-selfers can replace an oxy-gen sensor on their own, but those who can’t should have

the issue addressed imme-diately by a professional.

Too much speed or load. Towing a trailer or another heavy item may put strain on the vehicle and cause the light to come on because of loss of power. Lightening the load and reducing speed can help fix the problem. Always consult with the owner’s manual to deter-

mine the towing capacity of your vehicle.

Short or faulty code. Computers aren’t always fool-proof, and sometimes an electrical short or another similar problem can cause a light to come on. Bring the vehicle to an automotive supply store. Such stores typically have diagnostics tools that can be hooked

into the car’s computer and provide a more detailed understanding of what is triggering the check engine indicator.

In many cases, a steady check engine light is not a serious concern. However, when such a light comes on, drivers should try to find out why as soon as possible.

Rotating tires is some-thing that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car’s performance. An impor-tant component of vehicle upkeep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving.

There are some who are unfamiliar about how and when to rotate the tires and the benefits this routine maintenance can provide. This also could be a factor in why people procrastinate on tire rotation.

One may not realize that the front tires often bear the brunt of the work in vehicle operation. Mak-ing turns or parallel park-ing requires the force of the front tires. Vehicles that are front-wheel-drive have front tires that supply the main motive power for the vehi-cle. The frequent use and requirements of the tires produces friction on the road, and eventually heat. The front tires wear more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers must peri-odically rotate them.

Tire rotation essen-tially means moving the front tires to the rear and vice-versa. This means the front passenger side tire will be moved to the back passenger side position. The same thing will occur on the driver’s side. There’s a reason for this. Tires have unique wear patterns that are related to the suspen-sion and the alignment. Should you switch the tires in a criss-cross pattern, it could affect the alignment and lead to a bumpy ride.

These scenarios can depend on the vehicle and the tire, however. Certain vehicles have tires of dif-ferent sizes in the rear and front, which prevents front-to-back rotation. There are also cars that have tires that are unidirectional, where they are specific to one side of the car and asymmetrical, with a tread pattern that changes from the inside of the tire to the outside. Though these tires are rare, you can’t rotate them at all.

Tire rotation is advis-able to preserve balanced handling, traction and even outer tire wear. But how often should it be done? Many tires should be rotat-ed every 5,000 to 7,000 km,

even if they don’t show signs of wear. Some service sta-tions will do tire rotation at the same time that oil changes are done because the car is already on a lift.

Don’t expect tire rota-tion to correct wear prob-lems due to worn mechani-cal parts or as the result of improper inflation pressure. Rotation is not the only tire maintenance task to do to ensure safe tires.

Consult with a service station to determine the best pattern for rotating your tires and the ideal time interval between rotations.

Few drivers think about resale value as they drive a new car off of the dealership lot. Still enamored with that new car smell, drivers put the pedal to the metal and speed off in their brand new ride.

But it’s never too early to start protecting a vehi-cle’s resale value, especial-ly if you hope to recoup as much of your vehicle invest-

ment as possible when the time comes to sell or trade it in for a newer model. The following are some ways to protect the resale value of your vehicle:

Keep all maintenance records. New cars typi-cally do not require much maintenance. But drivers should keep records of all work and maintenance done on their vehicles, even if that work does not

extend beyond routine tune-ups or oil changes. Keeping maintenance records shows prospective buyers you prioritized tak-ing care of the vehicle over the years, and that makes the car or truck more attractive to pre-owned vehicle buyers who want to avoid buying a lemon or a car that has not been taken care of.


Many drivers feel less comfortable behind the wheel at night than they do during the day, when daylight makes it easier to see fellow motorists as well as pedes-trians. Nighttime can compromise a driver’s vision, and that reduced vision is a key factor in traffic fatalities, nearly half of which occur at night.

Though traffic accidents are a by-product of a host of factors, headlamp clouding is one of them and a grow-ing problem for many motorists. Vehicles equipped with plastic headlamp lenses can become hazed and yellowed from the effects of sunlight, ozone, road pollution and the chemicals used in car washes. When driving at night, cloudy headlamps combine with little or no natural light to decrease visibility and pose a significant safety threat to drivers, their passengers and fellow motorists. Drivers cannot increase the amount of natural light at night, but there are steps they can take to improve their nighttime visibility.

Address cloudy headlamps. Plastic headlamp lenses, especially as they age, reduce headlight output consider-ably, compromising nighttime vision and the safety of drivers and their passengers. But as potentially danger-ous as cloudy headlamps can be, it’s just as easy for driv-ers to address the issue before it becomes a problem. In lieu of a costly headlamp replacement, a restoration kit allows motorists to quickly and significantly improve the light output of their headlamps, taillights, turn signals and reflective lens covers.

Keep wiper blades fresh. Vision is already compro-mised at night, when the lack of natural light can make it difficult to see pedestrians or animals on the road. That visibility is only further compromised by brittle or ineffec-tive wiper blades, which should be changed every 90-120 days to ensure optimal performance.

Check the windshield washer periodically. The wind-shield washer is an often overlooked aspect of vehicle maintenance. Unfortunately, it’s typically too late by the time many motorists notice an issue with their wind-shield washer. Don’t fall victim to a faulty windshield washer in the middle of a rainstorm or a blizzard. Inspect the windshield washer periodically to ensure it’s working properly and keep the fluid level topped off so it’s there when you need it.

Consider how your visibility is likely to be affected dur-ing the worst possible snowstorm or on a night with torren-tial rains. Keep those conditions in mind when deciding whether or not to hang any fuzzy dice or other trinkets from your rearview mirror. While such items can add a touch of personality to your vehicle, the decreased vis-ibility such items can cause is not worth the cost over the long haul.

Continued from page 36Don’t overlook looks. Looks can be deceiving, but

new car buyers who eventually plan to sell their vehi-cles should do all they can to keep the car looking as new as it did the day it was first driven off the dealer-ship lot. Much like homeowners benefit when selling a home with curb appeal, a car that looks good gives buyers the impression that it was well taken care of. But a dirty car or one with lots of dings and dents is a red flag to preowned car buyers.

Keep a clean interior. New car owners typically maintain some strict rules with regard to food and beverages in their vehicles. After all, no one wants their brand new car to succumb to stains or spills. But the longer drivers have a car the more lax they tend to become with regard to allowing food and drinks into their cars, and that can ultimately hurt the resale value of the vehicle. Maintain a clean interior whether you just bought the car or have driven it for a few years. Much like an impressive exterior leaves a lasting impression, a clean interior that has not suc-cumb to coffee stains or muddy boots is more likely to impress buyers than a car with an interior that has seen better, cleaner days.

Drive defensively. It’s not just what you do to a car but how you drive the car that can affect its resale value. Driving defensively reduces your risk of acci-dent, and an accident-free preowned vehicle is a top priority for potential buyers. But driving defensively also reduces wear and tear on your vehicle, as over time constant stop-and-go, aggressive driving takes its toll on vehicle engines and other components.

Periodically examine the vehicle history report. Today’s preowned car buyers know to ask for a vehicle history report before buying a car. If your vehicle his-tory report contains any suspicious or inaccurate infor-mation, you may be forced to sell the car for less than it’s worth or delay selling until you can have any issues corrected. That won’t necessarily happen overnight, but you can avoid dealing with a host of issues all at once by periodically examining the vehicle history report. Any discrepancies on the report can be brought to the attention of your insurance company, who can then work with you to correct the issues and restore your vehicle’s reputation.

Resale value may not be foremost on the minds of new car owners, but the earlier buyers begin to factor resale value into their car-care routines, the more they will benefit down the road.

Simple ways to save fuel at pump

The cost of fuel is down, but drivers are still looking for ways to spend less at the pump. For many driv-ers, that means driving less. Driving less will save money, and doing so also reduces fuel consumption and contributes to fewer emissions entering the air, both of which can benefit the environment.

But many drivers are unable to drive less, as commitments to work and family require them to get behind the wheel more often than they might prefer. Such drivers may be look-ing for ways to reduce their fuel costs, and fortunately there are several ways to do just that.

Reconsider your choice of fuel. Many of today’s auto manufacturers now design their vehicles so they can run smoothly on regular unleaded gas, which is typi-cally listed as “87 octane” at filling stations. That’s important to know, as regu-lar gas is often consider-ably less expensive than alternatives that are higher octanes. Many drivers may even choose regular unlead-ed, but opt for premium gas every third or fourth trip, feeling that the higher octane fuel every so often will increase performance of older engines. But many engines are designed to run smoothly and efficient on low-octane fuel, meaning it’s unnecessary to choose pre-mium gas, even if you only do so once in a blue moon. Read your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the best fuel for your car.

Buy when the time is right. Prices at filling sta-tions fluctuate on a daily basis, so unless your car is running on empty, avoid filling up when the prices seem especially high. Some patience may pay off with several dollars in savings, and those savings can add up to a significant amount of money over time.

Become a less aggressive driver. Drivers with hectic schedules tend to be more aggressive when behind the wheel. But driving aggres-sively is unsafe and poten-tially costly. When driven at speeds that exceed 95 kilo-metres per hour, vehicles lose fuel economy. Driving at 95 km per hour instead of 115 km per hour can reduce fuel costs by as much as 75 per cent.

Remove unnecessary weight. A car trunk might

seem like a great place to keep your golf clubs, and it may be tempting to leave that roof rack on top of your car after a recent camp-ing trip, but such unneces-sary cargo in or on your car

makes it harder for the car to get from point A to point B. That forces the car to con-sume more fuel. Unless your immediate plans include hitting the links or hunker-ing down at a nearby camp-

site, remove unnecessary weight from the car so your next trip to the gas station is less expensive.

The cost of fuel can make trips to the filling station into costly excur-

sions. But drivers willing to reconsider conventional wisdom and change their driving habits can save sub-stantial amounts of money over time.

Albertans receive helpduringlayoffsBy Murray Green

The Alberta Government is ready to assist those who have been affected by layoffs.

Alberta Supports helps connect lower income Alber-tans, persons with disabilities, seniors and children and youth to more than 120 benefits and services.

Alberta Works is another outlet for programs that assist with basic needs like income support and health benefits, as well as employment and train-ing services. The government provides abuse and bullying prevention services, supports for homelessness, and other emergency situations.

Albertans can get help by calling the Alberta Sup-ports Contact Centre at 1-877- 644-9992 from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. You can also visit myalberta-supports.ca to find supports to meet your needs and apply online for some benefits, or you can stop in at an Alberta Supports Centre, an Alberta Works Centre, or visit the web-site for help with employment and training services, includ-ing current career, workplace and labour market informa-tion, career planning, job-search assistance, job bank access and guidance with aca-demic upgrading and job skills training.

Visit humanservices. alberta.ca/albertaworks for Income Support for Albertans who are looking for work, not earning enough or unable to work for a short time, need training to get a job, or can-not work due to chronic health problems or concerns.

The Alberta Adult Health Benefit program also helps low income Albertans access prescription drugs, dental ser-vices, optical services, emer-gency ambulance and diabetic supplies that are essential to health and well-being. Alber-tans may qualify if they are leaving Income Support or Assured Income for Severely Handicapped programs for a job. Pregnant women and households with high ongoing prescription drug needs can also apply.

The Alberta Child Health Benefit plan pays for health services such as eyeglasses, prescription drugs and den-tal care that are not available through standard Alberta Health Care Insurance. This plan is for families with limited incomes and provides coverage for children up to age 20 if they live at home and are attending high school up to Grade 12.

Career counsellors provide consulting and referral service for occupation, education and training options, job search skills and career transitions at 1-800-661-3753.

Alumni AwardContinued from page 26

Augustana Students’ Association vice-president of student life Sam Kohlman met Parsons on his first day on campus when all of the first years were seated in the chapel listening to different speakers.

“When I heard the name Les Parsons a smile formed on my face,” said Kohlman. “I had heard many stories of his energy and adventures, but I had not met him yet. His presence and energy was so high that he disregarded the microphone and addressed us without it. He instantly cap-tured the students’ attention and led us in a Vikings cheer. His intense energy never ends and burns deep within him.

Kohlman said Parsons has supported him as a stu-dent leader.

“Les has supported me. When I come up with ideas to create spirit on campus, I look to him for suggestions. When our council was low he came in to cheer us up. He under-stands the power of youth, and invests in us as his way to improve the world. I look up to him as a mentor and I know he looks up to my generation and I as hope for the future.”

The Camrose Booster said The Battle River Community Initiative is hoping to raise $50,000 to fund one of the operating rooms at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. The article should have said the Battle River Community Ini-tiative is hoping to raise $500,000 to fund one of the oper-ating rooms at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Cyndi Matthews, from the Stollery Children’s Hospital Founda-tion, notes that, thanks to the generosity of donors from Camrose and the surrounding communities, $238,000 of the targeted amount has already been raised. The Cam-rose Booster apologizes for this error.
