Ex-railway man Bruce Smith gets assistance from his grandsons Liam (in red) and Adam Smith in keeping one of the favourite attractions of the museum looking its best.

This inspection car was once the property of CPR and actively used in the 1920s and 30s.

Today, the static display is in the museum’s play area for kids to enjoy as they wish.

The Camrose Railway Museum and Park had a busy and amazing tourist season. With every passing summer, attendance continues to climb and this year was no exception. A peek at the guest register reveals visitors from around the world stopped by.

Comments expressed in writing suggested people of all ages love what Bruce and Glenys Smith, and their small but dedicated roster of volunteers, have created in their quest to pay tribute to railroading in this geographic area. Gift shop sales are up. So are snack sales. More displays have been added. A new outdoor patio was a treat for guests. Children’s programs and gardening programs were ever popular. Though the museum’s regular hours are drawing to a close for summer 2015, the Smiths are thrilled with the number of corporate bookings the Museum has earned for the off-season. One of the goals of the planning seminar this month is to formulate a plan to attract many more volunteers for a few hours each week or month. With no sign of reduced interest anytime soon when it comes to exploring the popular Railroad Museum, folks with time to spare are always needed to tend the gardens and displays.

Community Registration Night Sept. 3

By Dan Jensen

Having a hard time deciding on which group or organization to join this fall?

The ninth annual Community Registration Night at the Camrose Field House from 6:30 to 9 p.m. this Thursday evening (Sept. 3) could make the choosing easier.

“We have 66 community organizations setting up tables and we are completely full,” said Community Registration Night committee member and Camrose Adult Learning Council executive director Diane McLaren.

The Community Registration Night keeps things fresh and enticing by adding a few new displays every year.

“The word I keep hearing from the displayers is that it is an amazing opportunity for them to show what they have to offer,” said McLaren.

“It is like a big end of summer carnival minus all the food and draws.”

The attendance at the Community Registration Night in 2014 was right around 1,100.

“It opens a lot of eyes to how many opportunities there are in Camrose in the areas of arts, learning and recreation,” said McLaren. “A lot of the people who attend are brand new to Camrose and an event like this helps them see what there is to do.

Camrose and District Support Services has a great website about the clubs and organizations that you can join, but there is nothing like being able to walk around and talk to people. The reviews we have received are always positive.”

The City of Camrose donates the use of the field house as well as the chairs that are used, while the Camrose Regional Exhibition donates all the tables.

The Camrose Army and Air Cadets assist with clean up at the end of the night.

“I have a committee that does the set up but the cadets help with the take down,” said McLaren. “We’re thankful for those young strong people who help put the tables and chairs away because it is a lot of work.”

Chambers asking for more time to investigate impact of raising minimum wage

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Chamber of Commerce is standing behind an Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) recommendation that the provincial government hold off on any more increases to the minimum wage beyond the one scheduled for October of this year until it determine the impacts that such increases would have and look at alternative solutions.

“The process should be slowed to ensure adequate consultation and research,” says an ACC position paper.

“The impact on business, government, revenue and employee well-being must be assessed, and possible alternatives should be considered.”

ACC points out that while businesses would be required to pay out an additional $9,600 to workers who currently make minimum wage, a single parent with one child would receive only $6,900 more because of increases to federal taxation and the reduction in the amount paid out through programs such as the GST credit,

Canadian Child Tax Benefit and the Working Income Tax Benefit, while the federal government would receive nearly $2,700 in higher taxes and reduced benefits.

“The federal government provides a number of income tested benefits for low income earners which would be dramatically clawed back,” explained ACC president and CEO Ken Kolby. “If the provincial government’s goal is to reduce poverty, a higher minimum wage is not the most effective approach.

It puts the burden solely on the backs of businesses and does not result in an additional $9,600 for lowwage earners.”

ACC argues more moderate minimum wage increases than what the provincial government is suggesting, along with increased government supports through the Alberta Family Employment Benefit, an existing program, would keep more money in the pockets of low wage earners while sharing the burden for their well-being among everyone.

Social Development Committee making progress

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Social Development Committee is happy with the work it is doing to address the problems associated with affordable housing, child care, transportation, the labour market and income levels.

“We are making progress but it is incremental,” explained committee chair Margaret Hollison in response to a question from City councillor Agnes Hoveland at an August 10 committee of the whole meeting about whether the needs are the same today as they were 13 years ago.

“We are definitely dependent on other orders of government for sufficient resources but I think we have a lot of skill and wisdom and research based knowledge in our community as to how to go about meeting the needs.”

Holliston noted that although the number of families who need affordable housing or other forms of assistance is the same as it was in the years past, the social development committee has found ways to better support those familes and help them move out of poverty.

“The needs won’t change, probably not in my lifetime,” she said.

Social Development Committee member Lucy Ernst

told council that part of the success of the committee can be gauged by looking at the health of the population.

“We look at factors that greatly influence a person’s health and well being and try to remove barriers,” she said.

“Making sure the community is walkable and people have access to good healthy food is just part of it.”

Ernst, who works with Alberta Health Services, said she is pleased with the way that the members of the social development committee work together to find issues to all the problems, not just the ones on which they are focusing.

Holliston explained that diverse Social Development Committee membership ensures that links are maintained and information is shared with respect to a wide variety of regional, provincial and federal politics and initiatives as per member interests and connections.

“We keep informed of provincial poverty reduction in particular through a community of practice led by Calgary-based Momentum, in turn linked with Action to End Poverty in Alberta and through the participation on the Inter City Forum on Social Policy,” she said.

“We are hopeful that the new

government will retain both the Social Policy Framework and the Poverty Reduction Strategy initiatives developed by the former government within the Human Services Ministry.”

Holliston added the Social Development Committee is interested in what the council in the city of Calgary is doing to put restrictions on pay-day lending companies that exacerbate poverty.

“That particular municipality has attempted to actually in some ways create barriers that make it a little less easy for low income people to access that kind of lending,” she said. “We are also looking with a credit union to see if there can be a lending alternative. That is one way we can have a more tangible result in assisting people who are on low income.”

Councillor Max Lindstrand, the City council liaison on the Social Development Committee, said the committee has done a study on what poverty looks like in Camrose and has identified affordable housing, lack of public transportation and affordable child care as areas that need to be targeted.

“I think the first step in addressing problems is understanding what the problems are,” he said.

Talking specifically about affordable housing, Lindstrand said that Camrose has one of the most successful Habitat for Humanity projects in the country.

“We have built an incredible number of homes for Habitat for Humanity for the size of our community. I think one of the things (council) needs to consider is whether or not development projects should be setting aside land as part of that. There are some communities that do look at making provision for some land for affordable housing projects.”

Lindstrand said the taxi subsidy starting this fall is the first step towards providing affordable transportation.

“We have lots to do on that but we need help from other orders of government in terms of funding and grants to get public transit off the ground. We do have many other models to look at now.

I understand Whitecourt is introducing a public transit system as is Peace River.

Peace River was there, they went to taxi subsidy, and now they are reintroducing a bus system.”

Lindstrand suggested something that the Social Development Committee might want to take a look at in the future is what it

means to have a living wage in Camrose.

“That (living wage) is obviously something different than it would be in Fort McMurray or Medicine Hat or some other community.”

Holliston said one idea the committee is tossing around for 2016 is a share fair display of human services for agencies and the public at large.

“The last share fare was in May, 2008. Since then, the annual fall Community Registration Night, now in its ninth year, may fill that need, at least partly. The 2008 event included a day-long social needs symposium. At least until the current year, other SDC and non SDC community consultations have occurred annually.”

The SDC is aware that the United Way is considering setting up an office in Camrose and has engaged in some conversations with community agencies.

“We will follow this issue,” said Holliston. “There are pros and cons of having a United Way in Camrose. We have a community foundation and quite a few charitable organizations that rely heavily on local donations and local fundraising. Would the United Way strengthen or weaken our social economy?”

A survey undertaken in June by the Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) showed that a significant increase in the minimum wage would have a major impact on businesses.

Many of the 1,400 respondents in 100 communities indicated that an increase in minimum wage would place upward pressure on all wages and that they would have to make commensurate wage increases for employees earning more than $15 per hour in order to retain them and their skills.

Thirty-six per cent indicated it was very likely they would be able to grow their businesses in the near future, 18 per cent indicated it was very likely that they would have to reduce their hours of operation in the near future, and nine per cent indicated that it was very likely they would have to close their business in the near future. Fortyseven per cent indicated it was very likely they would

have to downsize the number of workers they employ, while 57 per cent indicated it was very likely that they would have to raise their prices. Forty-four per cent indicated they would have to limit or reduce other employee expenses such as health benefits.

Further research The ACC would like to see the government do more research to determine whether employees who serve alcohol should see their minimum wage increased at all. The province has indicated that it will eliminate the two-tiered wage system, which provides a lower wage rate for those employees on the premise that they receive tips and gratuities that supplement their hourly wages.

Traditionally, these workers, when factoring in gratuities, receive a combined income well in excess of the proposed wage standard.

All alternatives The ACC recommends that minimum wages be

assessed on an annual basis and revised by a percentage equal to the percentage charge in the Alberta Consumer Price Index.

“Increasing the minimum wage to support low wage earners’ ability to meet their needs is not, on its own, the most effective way to reduce poverty,” states the ACC. “A combination of more modest wage increases, along with increased public support for low wage earners would be a more favourable solution for two reasons. First, this solution would ensure that the after-tax cash flow of low wage earners goes up in real terms by compensating for the reduction in federal credits and grants. Workers would keep more of their increased earnings. Second, this solution ensures that the burden to alleviate poverty is not placed solely on the backs of businesses. If government and businesses work together on poverty alleviation, the end result will be more favourable to everyone.”

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, September 1, 2015 – Page 8

Miquelon Lake Research Station will be important resource

By Dan Jensen University officials, representatives from various levels of government, students and donors celebrated the opening of the Augustana Miquelon Lake Research Station Aug. 20.

The station will be an important resource for the study of human and wildlife impacts on the natural environment.

“We would like to study wildlife and eco systems and develop partnerships that can promote sustainability,” said Augustana environmental science professor Glen Hvenegaard.

As of last week, 11 Augustana students were working at the station on projects having to do with ecosystem sustainability, tackling subjects like moth and small mammal diversity, as well as lake organisms and the effectiveness of provincial park interpretation programs.

“The work that is done here will help achieve our goals of greater environmental protection and sustainability,” said Minister of Environment and Parks Shannon Phillips.

The station was built with more than $300,000 in funding from partners that included the Government of Alberta, which contributed $75,000 and an annual lease fee of $1, Camrose County, which contributed $24,000, philanthropic donors and the University of Alberta Office of Sustainability.

“This station was one of the very first projects that we funded through our Sustainability Enhancement Fund,” said Trina Innes, from the U of A office of sustainability. “This fund received money as a result of energy management program savings run out of facilities and operations on our north campus and implemented throughout collective campuses.”

Assistant deputy minister of Environment and Parks Graham Statt commended all the partners for making the research station a reality.

“It is through partnerships that we have arrived here and it is through partnerships that we will continue to move forward to make sure that this is a success,” said Statt. “It is through partnership that we will continue to work our own relationships together into the future.”

Statt said a provincial park is an ideal place for a research facility. “In many respects, parks and protected areas are a natural laboratory, so what an excellent opportunity to do something in the name of science.”

Statt noted the new research facility is in perfect alignment with Alberta Environment and Parks science strategy.

“We desire to see evidence based decision making throughout the parks systems.

I know that this facility is not just limited to within the confines of Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. I know that what we learn through the research that is conducted here will help

guide decision making elsewhere, including in the provincial parks system.”

Camrose County Reeve Don Gregorwich said the research facility will make an imprint on the County and society far beyond its physical size.

“It will provide benefits to all ages and all levels of society, not only today and next year, but for generations to come, and that is truly a magnificent example of progress,” he said.

Reeve Gregorwich commended everyone who never stopped believing in the importance of the station.

“There were times we wondered if this was ever going to come to pass, but this is a tremendous example of stick-toit-iveness,” he said.

The idea for the research station originated in 2011 from the vision of a handful of dedicated Augustana staff and faculty.

“The vision sold itself,” said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, who had only been in his current job a few days when science department chair Jonathan Mohr told him about the plans and drove with him to the proposed site. “It was a vision of collaboration that ultimately came to include not just Augustana and Alberta Parks, but both Beaver County, the Beaver Hills Initiative, the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, University of Alberta north campus colleagues in facilities and operations and the office of sustainability, and numerous other donors. It was a vision of promoting undergraduate research, an area that we at Augustana take great pride in being a leader. It was a vision of interdisciplinary education and research. It was a vision of engagement with the surrounding community, including K to 12 schools. There was a

vision of research partnerships with scholars and students from other U of A faculties and other universities, and finally it was a vision of Augustana positioning itself to be a leader on matters related to sustainability and rural issues.”

In spite of financial pressures and budget cuts that left Augustana scrambling to figure out creative financial solutions, and ambitious infrastructure projects like the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, the vision was never lost.

“Through it all the Miquelon Lake research station stayed on the back burner,” said Dr. Berger. “We never removed it from the stove and the vision remained compelling.”

Dr. Berger expressed appreciation to the faculty who first brought him to the site and infected him with their enthusiasm, as well as to the Augustana development staff

who helped identify donors who chose to invest in the vision, and students and other partners for developing a sustainability plan for the research station itself.

Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Bruce Hinkley said the government is an enthusiastic supporter of the research station and the benefits it is going to bring to parks and students.

“Provincial parks are truly laboratories and they are well suited to supporting science and research. The research that happens here will ultimately assist in the protection, the preservation and the planning of our natural areas.

The new facility will also bolster the tremendous expertise in research opportunities for students and also for the faculty at Augustana. I look forward to hearing about the outcomes of the work that is done at this station and how it will inform the broader science and research communi-

ty in our province as a whole.

I am confident that it will contribute to how, moving forward, we can enhance the health of our natural landscape to the benefit of future generations of Albertans.”

Hvenegaard stressed that the new station will be used not only by Augustana and University of Alberta students, but also students in local school divisions and researchers from across the country.

“We want to develop a relationship with the school divisions so they can do their environmental and outdoor education programs here,” he said. “We also want to make sure that it is available to researchers across the country, say a graduate student from Ontario wanting to do work on boreal areas. We have a website that people can use to access information on how to use it.”

Miquelon Lake Provincial Park is a prime location for the station with a unique ecosystem that links the prairies and parkland to the south with the boreal forests to the north. The station itself is a 1,500 square foot modular building with wet and dry laboratories, computing resources, multi-purpose office space, a fully-equipped kitchen and overnight accommodation for up to eight people.

The station has its own sustainability plan built into operations to address issues of waste, water and energy. There are also numerous plans for future initiatives, including the installation of solar panels and the creation of a compost system.

BRSD raising awareness about school bus safety Diane Hutchinson, Communications, BRSD

Battle River School Division is just one of a number of school jurisdictions across the province of Alberta trying to raise awareness on the important issue of school bus safety.

For many years, BRSD has had a portable sign, which moves to locations throughout the division to share the message “Stop

Passing the Bus.” There have also been posters, newspaper ads, trade show displays and more.

The newest initiative is a cup sleeve, printed with a school bus safety message.

The sleeve has been produced by the Student Transportation Association of Alberta and is available for free to community organizations and businesses who are interested in sharing the word about keeping children safe

Dr. G.A. Torok-Both, Medical Director

while they get on and off the school bus each day. There are 6,000 sleeves available for distribution in BRSD. BRSD’s director of transportation Brenda Johnson, who is also the current president of the provincial organization spearheading this project, says that students are most vulnerable to being struck by vehicles when they are boarding or disembarking from the bus, because of

drivers who ignore the red flashing lights and extended stop sign that signal children are in the roadway.

“Across Alberta we have near-misses on almost a daily basis. Here in Battle River, our drivers regularly report drivers who speed past school busses that are stopped with their red lights flashing. People have to become aware that those red flashing lights mean

children are in the vicinity.

We have thousands of children riding the bus every single day in our school division and I hope we can all work together to keep them safe. Call me at 780672-6131 ext 5245 if you want cup sleeves for your restaurant, arena booth or special event. We would be grateful for your assistance in sharing this important message.”

Most of the city and rural schools start classes again on Tuesday, Sept. 1 and RCMP would like to remind drivers, parents and students of a few important tips to make the return to school safe and successful for everyone.

Starting Sept. 1, all school zones in the area will once again be in effect. The speed limit in school zones is 30 km/ hr from 8 to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m. on school days. RCMP will be checking school zones to ensure that drivers remember to slow down and watch for children.

The fine for going 50 km/ hr in a school zone is $167 and that fine amount increases as the speed increases.

RCMP urge all drivers to slow down and use caution when passing a stopped school bus.

Students making their way to school are reminded to only cross the street at marked crosswalks and intersections and to always be alert for danger. If you’re walking to school, walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the street facing traffic, staying as far away from the vehicles as possible.

If you take the bus, wait for it at a safe place at least 10 steps away from the road.

Never run after the school bus to try to catch up. And remember, if you can’t see the driver, the driver can’t see you either. If you bike, roller blade or skateboard to school, don’t forget your safety gear.

Youth under 18 are required

by Alberta law to wear a helmet when riding a bike.

We all have a part to play in ensuring the safety of our children and the roads, and the RCMP thank you for driving defensively and observing school zone speed limits during school hours.

Heliport construction underway at St. Mary’s Hospital

By Murray Green

Construction of a heliport for Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose is now underway.

Hospital site administrator Cherylyn Antymniuk reports that work is being scheduled at times that will cause the least disruption and minimize impact on people in the hospital.

However, hospital staff, patients and visitors may experience an increase in noise as work progresses.

STARS Air Ambulance used the old landing pad at the hospital in the past.

Now STARS will land at the Camrose Airport and be met by EMS ground transportation. This will only add approximately five minutes of travel time. Work on the project is expected to be completed in December, 2015.

Covenant Health apologizes for any inconvenience and noise.

Posters throughout the hospital will alert patients and visitors to the work being done. Anyone with a question, or concern is encouraged to speak with their care provider.

Upon completion, the heliport will improve access to emergency medical services for all residents.

A new heliport at the Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose is expected to be completed in December.

WHO

First day of classes at OLMP Sept. 2 Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Catholic School’s first day for students has been moved to Wednesday, Sept. 2 due to ongoing renovations within the school.

“We understand that this delay of one day may cause some temporary inconvenience for students and families, and we are truly sorry for the delay,” expressed Elk Island Catholic Schools superintendent Michael Hauptman. “We want to thank the entire OLMP school community for their patience and understanding as we adjust to this change in the school opening timeline and ensure that our newly renovated classrooms are safe to welcome all students.”

Built in 1962, the Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School modernization proj-

ect will modify interior areas to better meet educational programming needs and increasing enrollments, and to make better use of existing space.

School additions were made in 1983, 2006 and 2007. Specifically, the addition of one new Career and Technology Studies (CTS) space will enhance students’ learning opportunities. With current high enrollment and anticipated increases, the school cannot accommodate the required need for CTS instructional area in the one existing CTS space.

The first day of school for students at St. Patrick Catholic School will remain as scheduled on Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Parents or students who wish to have more information about this delay are

invited to call the EICS Central Learning Services office at 780-449-7487 or Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Catholic School at 780-672-2975.

EICS, part of Alberta’s publicly funded education system, is committed to developing educational opportunities in the context of Gospel values.

EICS is dedicated to providing quality, faith-based learning environments to students of any background and faith where their skills are nurtured and celebrated by dedicated, caring staff.

RCMP responded to a call about an abandoned vehicle in the area of Township 483 and Range Road 222. The licence plate on the vehicle was found to be stolen out of Wetaskiwin. Members are trying to locate the owner of the vehicle. This matter is still under investigation.

A business at Legacy Junction called to report a break and enter. The value of items stolen is over $5,000.

A member from Duhamel Historical Society attended the detachment to report the cash box at Ross’ Flats had been broken into.

It was suggested that anyone who was at the campground and used a cheque to pay for their camp site, to call their bank and have it cancelled.

August 19

New Norway Gas Bar called to report a gas and dash. Two young male teens were occupants of a newer GMC Sierra that filled up with gas and drove away without paying. Video surveillance was obtained and is being viewed. This matter is still under investigation.

A concerned resident attended the front counter to report a suspicious vehicle in the area of Range Road 224 just off of Hazelwood Mill Road. The white vehicle was seen driving slowly past driveways and mailboxes. Once the complainant was noticed, the vehicle drove quickly to the highway and drove off.

A licence plate was obtained and this matter is still under investigation.

RCMP attended the scene of a single vehicle collision at

Range Road 220 and Highway 13. A Dodge Ram was traveling eastbound on Highway 13 when the vehicle entered the south ditch and struck the approach for Range Road 220.

The vehicle was launched into the air for about 30 plus feet, striking a power pole. The male driver was taken to hospital. No other occupants were in the vehicle. This matter is still under investigation.

Petruk family grateful for community support

By Dan Jensen

After a long and difficult summer at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton things are finally starting to look up for two-year-old Nathaniel Petruk.

“We definitely feel he is back on the right track,” said Nathaniel’s father, Shawn. “He is breathing a lot better than he was when we took him in and when he gets something caught in his throat he can actually cough it up, which is more than he could do before.”

Nathaniel, or Nate to his friends, was born with an additional long arm (q) of chromosome 4, a rare disorder that results in the body’s organs not developing the way they should.

“His is just one of 61 known cases in the world,” said Shawn. “He was in the intensive care ward the first three and a half weeks after he was born, at which time Elisha (Nate’s mom) and I were told we would be facing some challenges throughout his development.”

One major step in addressing the challenges came on May 29 when surgeons used a piece of Nate’s rib cartilage to open his airway which, because of his condition, was just three mm – half the width of that of a normal person.

“When we get sick we

can fight it off and cough things out but his airway was so narrow that when he would get sick it would plug right up and he would end up in the hospital,” said Shawn.

Nate had a second surgery a few days later when doctors noticed that he was having trouble breathing.

“His healing wasn’t going as well as the doctors had anticipated so they asked to take him back into the operating room again, where they repaired the small hole at the top of his airway,” said Shawn.

Expecting that the second surgery would fix things once and for all, Shawn and Elisha were horrified when they saw that the problems had become even worse.

“He was struggling for every breath,” said Shawn.

“There was fluid and air coming out of his neck where the surgery had taken place and it didn’t make any sense. The doctors decided to take him back to the operating room for a third time and as soon as they opened his neck they realized that the majority of the graft from the initial surgery had come undone.

They took some live tissue and put it on top for added support.”

While the third surgery seemed to do the trick, Nate still had to overcome

Nathaniel Petruk and his parents, Elisha and Shawn, are appreciative of all the support they have had in getting through their difficult ordeal.

Nathaniel had a pleasant surprises when therapy dogs were brought to his room. Seeing him smile again after going through so much pain meant the world to his parents, Elisha and Shawn.

problems caused by his medications.

“We found that Nate was a special case with sedation,” said Shawn. “It is sometimes said that children with chromosomal anomalies metabolize their sedatives a lot faster than a normal person. Some of the nurses said it would take around six ml of morphine to knock out a person of my size and they were giving Nate up to 90 ml a day. This for a two-year-old boy who weighs 25 to 30 pounds.”

Taking Nate off the medications was not an easy undertaking.

“He was going through some intense withdrawals,” said Shawn. “At first they really tried to cut the morphine and the different drugs quickly but that didn’t work. He is a pretty happy kid but he would shake and scream and cry.”

Nate is currently at the point where he is off almost all of his medications.

“They give him two ml of morphine every six hours now, but at one point he was receiving way more than that,” said Shawn.

The drugs evidently affected Nate’s internal systems because when he was fed through the tube that goes into his stomach he wasn’t able to keep anything down.

“They did try sending him home with us but he was throwing up so much that he was choking and wasn’t breathing,” said Shawn. “He is now receiving 47 ml of food every hour, which to you or I isn’t much more than a good sip of coffee.”

Although they would like to see Nate heal faster, Elisha and Shawn realize they can’t push things.

“He seems to do things on his own schedule,” said Shawn. “It seems when anyone tries to change that

schedule he sort of goes ‘whoa, take a step back, we are doing things my way.

I am the boss.’ We have learned how to be patient.

We are just taking things day to day and when it gets to the point where his stomach and everything is starting to work properly again we can take him home. It could be a week from now, it could be a month, we don’t really know.”

Elisha and Shawn are pleased with the care Nate has received from the Stollery Care medical staff, who on July 6 threw him a birthday party complete with hats, balloons and a birthday cake brought by a friend.

“We were told that they have a world class team there and I would have to agree,” said Shawn. “The effort that they make to try to make you as comfortable as you can be in that situation is pretty outstanding.”

Nate had one of his most pleasant surprises when therapy dogs were brought to his room.

“He always gets very excited around animals so the day they brought the dogs to him was the best of his entire time at the Stollery,” said Shawn. “Seeing him smile after going through so much pain meant the world to us.”

The Stollery’s nursing staff and the pediatricians have tried to involve Shawn and Elisha as much as possible in the decisions about the care Nate is receiving.

“They definitely keep us in the loop on a daily basis,” said Shawn. “There is a team coming in all the time and checking in, making sure that you are comfortable with the plan that they have developed, which I think is a major thing for a parent. They don’t just do things and keep you in the dark. It is definitely

comforting when you know they have a plan of action and they run it through you to make sure you are okay with it. One of the scariest things in the hospital is all the unknowns and they really do their best to make sure you don’t have those.”

Elisha and Shawn received one of their biggest surprises when a doctor walked into Nate’s room at 7 p.m. on a Sunday night.

“It is pretty amazing that a doctor would do that at a time when you would never expect to see one,” said Shawn. “It definitely gives you a good feeling that they care about what they are doing and genuinely want to see every child succeed in their recovery. It’s not that they are there from 9 to 5 and then they are gone.”

Elisha and Shawn have received outstanding support from their network of friends and family who have done their best to help in the time of need. A Nate’s Family Fundraiser on gofundme.com/natep, has already raised 75 per cent of a targeted amount reduce some of the expenses Shawn and Elisha have had in staying with Nate, as well as travelling back and forth to Edmonton.

“We didn’t know about it until one of our friends on Facebook let it slip,” said Shawn. “It is surreal to know that people will give what little they have to make your life a little bit easier. We have seen some of the names who have donated and some of them are people we haven’t seen for ten years. It is overwhelming to realize that we have made such an impact on them that they want to help in our time of need. It has allowed us to focus our attention on Nathaniel during a time when it is hard to focus on anything else.”

Open Door kept 47 youth from a life in box

By Murray Green

The Camrose Open Door Association provided a home for 47 youth in its housing last year. Without a place to go, they would have been on the streets and using boxes for a home.

“Camrose is pretty good at keeping everything beautiful and this was our way to show the number of youth that were able to stay in our shelter. There were many more that applied for shelter, but those are the ones we were able to look after last year,” explained Lisa Kozak, of the Open Door. “The squashed boxes were the success stories (no longer needing services) and the other boxes represent youth who are still making progress.”

The Open Door’s mission is to meet the needs of youth ages 11 to 24 who find themselves at risk.

“We put up a display of boxes outside our office to show how homelessness is real for people and send a message to Camrose. We used boxes because each one represents a person who stayed in our shelter,” added Lisa. “We have many more youth that use our services, but the boxes represented just those who stayed in the shelter.”

Crushed boxes represent a significant change in someone’s life and they have moved on. “It is a good display to show how many 47 actually is. The display went around the building,” Lisa said. “Most of the youth are here because something changed in their life and they no longer felt safe.”

Lisa and clients Miranda Martin and Tess Smith put the display together. “I’m from Legal, but came here to live with my grandparents for a while, about a year ago.

I was going through some mental illness issues from abuse and neglect. Camrose was my last stop and the Open Door was there for me.

Camrose needs a lot more for the youth to get involved in. Some youth are bored because (they think) there isn’t much for them to do,” said Miranda, who is now 20.

“I would to see more opportunities for youth and bring them together. I put together the boxes to help me express what I am going thought without actually putting my face on every box.

It also expresses other people that don’t have a voice.”

The really powerful aspects are the comments on the boxes. “The clothes were from different clients. The message is that homelessness isn’t about a delinquent child. It could be about not feeling safe at home. Not all of the boxes are sad boxes. It gives hope and something to look forward to. Right now I’m a standing box.”

Her saying is: this is my voice, not my choice. “I

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The items in the boxes represented the differences in the youth and the things that they cling to for support, as well as the Open Door’s staff and internal family.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Each of the youth that find a home at the Open Door comes with various needs and they are not the same. The youth receive support, help with education and can be assisted in finding employment.

definitely will come back to help others. I want to give something back to the community,” Miranda said. “It will be part of my life until I am old. It has been an eye opener for me. Each box tells

a story and it is the voice of the youth.”

Miranda wants to be a contributing member of society. “I am currently working on being more positive,” she said. “Talking to people on

the phone and in person is a huge step for me. I’m a lot more positive about myself and my situation. I’m starting some college courses in the fall. My dream job is to

be an addictions counsellor for the Open Door.”

They chose Thursday for the demonstration because the Big Valley Parade was just a block away. “In Grade 6, I moved from Camrose out to the country near Kingman and last June I had to leave to seek help. Members from my church took me in and I went back and forth to home, but finally I had to leave. One of the church members brought me to the Open Door,” explained Tess. “A few months ago I was ready to leave the Open Door. I had an apartment lined up, but because I’m 17, I legally can’t sign leases.

People think I’m a reliability problem and three days before I was to move in they cancelled on me. I’ve been looking for places but I’ve found I’m not ready to leave the Open Door yet.”

Tess struggles with past abuse from when she was growing up. “I need a lot of counselling and support from the Open Door. The Open Door isn’t just about housing. It is about helping youth with counselling, schooling and becoming the family that I never had,” she said. “I have skills to cook, clean, keep a house and take care of myself. I can get a job, but I still need support.

Open Door is being that parent and helping me get the counselling I need.”

Tess had a job before going to Open Door, but she decided to finish Grade 10.

“The Open Door realizes that I can do both, but not at the same time. I wanted to finish courses. My goal is finish something; I’m learning perseverance. I need to form good habits.”

Often people don’t understand the need for emergency housing for youth. “People think I was living a normal life. When I told classmates I was at the Open Door they said no, that place is for drug addicts and sketchy kids, not you. Teenagers are scared what people think about them. Part of me fears that people know I’m homeless, but at the same time there are so many faces to homelessness. Just because I’m not pushing a shopping cart down the street, doesn’t mean I’m not homeless or hurting,” Tess explained.

“The box display is a way to connect with each box. You might not be able to eliminate homelessness, but you can eliminate the stigma that is attached to it. I want to get the word out that people are feeling helpless and they shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for help.”

The evening after the parade a homeless youth took advantage of the boxes for shelter, which further proved the need of the Open Door.

Hooper heads third Bailey Harvest Festival

By Murray Green

The Bailey Harvest Fundraising Festival will once again be hosted by Danny Hooper, Camrose’s favourite master of ceremonies, on Sept. 12.

“This year we are a feast and fundraiser because we have upgraded from wonderful appetizers to a full blown harvest feast,” said Bailey Theatre Society board vicepresident Kimberly Hann.

“We chose A-1 Catering because they have been great supporters in the past, especially in the harvest festivals.

We are having a full turkey dinner, all the fixings, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, apple and

pumpkin pie. It will be a lovely dinner.”

The feast should be a hit for the Bailey Theatre supporters. “We felt, through feedback, that people really missed the dinner. The issue in the past was fitting that number of people in the theatre dinner setting. Consistently we have had about 150 people. If we use a rectangle table format so people don’t have their back to the stage, instead of using the round tables, we can accommodate that number,” added Hann.

“After we sell out, we are adding a show ticket only for the balcony that includes dessert.”

A silent auction will be set up in the bistro for people to make bids.

Hooper will host an evening of fun, laughter, and auction some items. “This is the third time for Danny and he seems to do good things for us. We like working with him and he likes working with us.

We have worked with him at the Big Valley Jamboree and he auctioned signed guitars to raise money for us,” said Hann. “In addition, this year we have added local comedian Ken Valgardson. He is planning a skit as well as comedy.”

The festival is one time in the year where people in Camrose and area can really show their support for the theatre by joining the fun and help raise money the theatre needs to continue to operate.

The Bailey Theatre direc-

tors didn’t want to blitz the audience with a lot of entertainment. “It’s about meeting and talking with other theatre supporters and having a fun evening with each other,” said Hann. “We don’t want to take away from some of the amazing auction items that we have. We will have live, silent and some creative raffles.”

Two of the raffles will be geared to a specific audience.

“We will have one for guys that may feature tools and a chest, and one for ladies that is sponsored by a jewellery store in town. We will have a limited number of tickets, so the chances of winning will be better,” explained Hann. “Live auction items include vacation packages. We have some fur-

Another item is a corporate Christmas party that includes the theatre rental and dinner for up to 40 people.”

Last year, the event raised $42,458 in net profits. That money is used for operational costs that keep the theatre running. “It was a great event.

We would like to aim for a 10 per cent increase, so our goal is to raise $46,700 this year,” said Hann.

LORD Augustana choir spots available Marie-Josée soprano

The music area at the Augustana Campus is delighted to announce two exciting musical opportunities for those who love sing!

Sangkor (pronounced songkoor) Women’s Ensemble draws its name from the Norwegian word for “song choir.” Directed

by Dr. Brendan Lord, this treble choir is non-auditioned and open to interested members of the community as well as Augustana students studying in all disciplines. The choir sings music from a variety of times, places, and traditions, and endeavours to cultivate in its members a deep appreciation for the richness of the choral art. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on the development of the vocal instrument and gaining an understanding of foundational musical concepts. The choir rehearses every Wednesday evening between 7 and 9 p.m.

New members are accepted in September and January. The first Sangkor rehearsal for the 2015 fall term takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 7 p.m., in room A024 (auxiliary building) on the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

Mannskor: Augustana’s Men’s Choir is a non-auditioned ensemble that encourages men from the Augustana Campus and the Camrose community to explore the joy and camaraderie of choral singing. Through diverse repertoire drawn from

the bountiful male choral tradition, director, Dr. John Wiebe leads choristers from Mannskor to improve vocal technique and choral musicianship skills.

Mannskor serves to build strong relationships between Augustana students, staff, faculty, and members of the university and Camrose communities. The choir rehearses every Monday evening between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. The first Mannskor rehearsal for the fall term

takes place on Monday, Sept.

14, at 7:30 p.m. in A024 on the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

All singers are welcome to sing regardless of musical background and have the option to participate for credit or not-forcredit. For more information about Sangkor or Mannskor, contact the Augustana Fine Arts office at 780-679-1532.

Kodiaks preparing for another season

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks are re-loading for another season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Veteran players came to the rescue as Camrose defeated the Grand Prairie Storm 4-3 in overtime in the first exhibition game in the Alberta Junior Hockey League Aug. 27.

Cole McBride didn’t waste time in overtime as he scored just 39 seconds with help from Cam Gotaas and Trevor Costello. That was the deciding factor as both teams scored a goal in each of the periods to force overtime.

Jack Langenhahn, Angus Scott and Tanner Younghans netted the other Camrose markers in the evenly player contest.

Goalies Brodan Salmond, 17 saves on 18 shots, and Parker Waseylenko, eight saves on 10 shots, were steady when called upon.

Former Camrose Minor Hockey player Kyler Charchun dressed for Grande Prairie.

So far, returning players from last year include Jack Thomas, Costello, T.J. Brown, Stephan Wack, Braeden Salverda, Younghans, McBride, Danton Davis, Landon Pilger, Scott Ferguson, Reid Kilburn,

Gotaas and Stefan Danielson.

Several new players will be added to the roster as the team prepares for the regular season. Veteran Nelson Gadoury is also considering a return to the Kodiaks.

The exhibition season

continues on Wednesday, Sept. 2 for the Kodiaks when Olds is here for a 7 p.m. game at the EnCana Arena. The exhibition season concludes with the Kodiaks travelling to Olds for a return match on Sept. 3.

The Kodiaks go back to

Olds to start the regular season on Sept. 11 and then go to Drumheller on Sept.

12.

The home opening weekend begins on Friday, Sept. 18, with the Olds Grizzlys at 7 p.m., and continues on Sunday,

Sept. 20, with the Fort McMurray Oil Barons at the EnCana Arena for a 2 p.m. game.

After a home game against Drayton Valley on Sept. 24, the Kodiaks go on a three game road trip.

CCHS Trojans expecting to have a solid team

By Murray Green

Now that the students are back in the classroom, it’s time for the football season.

The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team is expecting a solid team this season with plenty of experienced players coming back to the blue and gold.

“We have a good returning group back, but some holes to fill on both sides of the ball. We should be competitive for the top spot in the league again this year,” said coach Adam Belanger.

“Right now we have 29 players, but we could use a few more. We usually have in the low 30s and that is a good number. Everyone then receives lots of playing time.”

Extra players are a welcome sight for those who are called upon to play both offence and defence due to injuries or low numbers.

“It’s nice that the program is built up and we are getting more players,” said Belanger. “We have some holes on the offensive line (created by departing players) and we are looking for some players to step up and earn starting roles. At quarterback, we have a number of guys who can do it. We don’t have what I call a true quarterback. Our top guys also play another position, so it may be a shared position to take advantage of the skill set we have.”

Seven members of the Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team who went with the Battle River Shock to San Diego to play high schools returned home with a record of 1-11 in three games. The Shock, made up of north central Alberta players, were allowed some Canadian rules to be competitive with the American teams. Local players included, back row from left, Jake Stone and Josh Lyon. Front row from left, Austin Thompson, Michael Davidse, Connor Pearson, Brandon Thompson and Connor Berkholtz.

Coach Belanger indicated the team is strong at running the ball with several options and players. The defence will likely be strong as well.

“It will be a bit of a juggling act as far as coaches are concerned, but we have about seven guys that can carry the ball. It is nice to have that many options,”

Belanger said. “Coach Carl Davidse (defensive coordinator) and seven players from the Battle River Shock came back from a trip to San Diego, so it is nice to see the extra bodies. It was good to see other players battle for positions and have practice reps before the other players came back.”

The Central Alberta

Schools’ Football League will have two divisions again this year to provide for equal competition. Camrose will play in the Tier 3 and 4 division.

“We want a balanced attack because we have some good receivers as well as strong runners.”

CCHS students are encouraged to register for football as soon as possible

by emailing coach Adam Belanger at asbelanger@ telus.net.

Coach Belanger feels the players will be tested in the very first game.

“It is a rematch against Sylvan Lake and likely one of the teams to beat and measure ourselves against.

If we prepare well, we should match up and do well. Our parity in the league is so even that we have to take every game seriously as it comes up.”

Drayton Valley has been added to the league this year.

They played six-man football last year.

“They could be a surprise,” said Belanger. “I want to see them before we play them.”

Camrose will start the regular season in Sylvan Lake against the Lakers on Sept. 11 at 4:30 p.m. It will be a rematch of last year’s championship game.

The Trojans host the Rocky Mountain House Rebels on Sept. 17 at 4:30 p.m., Drayton Valley on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. and Ponoka on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.

Camrose travels to Stettler for a game against the Wildcats on Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m. and to Wetaskiwin on Oct. 16 for a 7 p.m. start.

Division playoffs are slated for Oct. 30 and Nov. 6 to determine a champion.

Provincial playoffs are slated for Nov. 14, 21 and 28.

Small businesses make biggest investments in training says CFIB

Canada’s smallest businesses lead the way in employee training, investing nearly $2,000 per employee on average each year according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’ (CFIB) latest report.

Entrepreneurs in Alberta invest upwards of $3,000 per employee. These findings challenge the view that small firms are slower to invest in training than their larger counterparts, who spend $1,713 per worker.

Informal, or “on-the-job,” training, is a key investment for small business, totalling $9 billion annually, making up 64 per cent of the $14 billion small and medium business invests in training.

In total, informal training is offered by ninety per cent of small and medium businesses, and is done without any government credits or grants.

“Formal training is important, but there is no substitute for what you learn on the job,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly.

Inexperienced workers

make up 18 per cent of new hires in small firms, versus only nine per cent in their larger counterparts. Small businesses invest an average of over $4,200 training each new, inexperienced employee – much higher than the investment of training an employee with experience.

Although 85 per cent of small and medium businesses believe it is their responsibility to train new workers, many small firms will never see a return on that investment. Sixty per cent fear that employees will receive training, and then leave.

“Too often, small businesses train employees only to see big business and the public sector swoop in and poach them away,” added Kelly. “Independent businesses take pride in training Canada’s workforce, but ‘we train, they gain’ is not sustainable.”

While there have been small steps that recognize the unique training needs of small businesses, all governments need to do more.

CFIB is calling on the federal parties, as well as provincial and territorial governments to even the playing field by offering a new training tax credit that recognizes informal training. Sixty per cent of small and medium business owners say such a credit would boost their ability to train tomorrow’s workforce.

“Small business owners are punching above their weight when it comes to developing a skilled workforce.

Instead of hiking minimum wages, Alberta must do more to recognize the time, money and effort already spent by small businesses to make Alberta’s labour force strong and prosperous,” said Amber Ruddy, CFIB’s Alberta director of provincial Affairs.

Read the full report, Small Business, Big Investment: Improving Training for Tomorrow’s Workforce.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

Founders Days celebration honours 100 years of Scouting

By Dan Jensen

The Aug. 14 to 16 Founders Day celebration honoured 100 years of Scouting in Camrose.

The first meeting to establish the Camrose District Boy Scouts was held in 1915, seven years after Scouting came to Canada and five years after a contingent of Canadian Scouts attended the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. The founder of the Scouting movement was Lord Baden Powell, a military veteran from London, England, who saw scouting as a way to help boys in his country grow into manhood. In 1920, scouts from all over the world gathered in London for the first Scouting Jamboree, where Baden Powell was proclaimed as chief scout.

F.P. Layton, who was overseer for the village of Sparling in 1905 and mayor of the town of Camrose from 1911 to 1913, was appointed by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada, as the first commissioner of the Camrose District Scouts.

A report in The Camrose Canadian noted that Layton had been in correspondence from officials of the (Scout) organization for some time and accepted the leadership after reading a number of books on Scouting.

C.R. Pearson, a local school teacher, was one of the earliest Camrose scoutmasters, overseeing a troop that included Art Swaren, Elvin Jensen and John Tanner. Swaren remembered spending most of the summer holidays camping with the other boys in the area where the outdoor swimming pool was eventually built.

Troop Number One

was established in 1922 with Wm. E. Doble as scoutmaster, The Anglican Church in Camrose sponsored the First Camrose Scout Troop from sometime prior to 1925 to 1927, with Archdeacon Howcroft as the first scoutmaster.

The second Scoutmaster was Percy Fowler, who was employed at Canadian Customs.

“The Scout Troop consisted of some two dozen boys but unfortunately we have only been able to come up with the names of a few of the boys and they are Walter and Gordon Burrows, Ronald Smith, Vern Craig, Jim Herman, Elmer and Roy Pelan, Edward Nielsen, Arthur Twomey and Frank MacNeil Smith,” reports the book Scouting Trails in Wildrose. “The boys did a lot of weekend camping on the Battle River and they built their own scout cabin down where the old Brant Coal Mine was. There were no Jamborees to attend in those days, however, some of the scouts did attain their King’s Scout awards.

Frank Layton assisted with the weekend camp outs as did Frank Farley, who instructed on wildlife.”

After a period of time when there was no scouting in Camrose, another troop, sponsored by the Anglican Church, was formed in 1934. The troop was very active until about 1940 when it had to be disbanded on account of the Second World War and the lack of leaders.

Scouting resumed in Camrose in 1947 with Bill Pratt as Scoutmaster. In 1949, Rees C. Hugh was awarded the Boy Scouts Silver Acorn, one of Scouts’ highest honours, for distinguished service.

The Camrose Moose Lodge undertook the sponsorship of the First Camrose Scouts in around 1950.

The Second Camrose Scout troop was organized in 1958 with 18 scouts and 54 cubs.

Alex Hirsch told a story to Denny May, who was executive director of the Northern Region, Scouts Canada, about the Third Camrose troop which was camping in the Battle River Valley during a blizzard.

“The group called a special meeting to decide what to do about the poor, cold scouts and two fathers were chosen to go out and find the camp and rescue the troop,” said May in Scouting Trails in Wildrose. “The fathers, on arriving in camp to find fires, shelters, warm and happy kids, decided they would rather be in camp than back in Camrose worrying about the scouts who were obviously well able to care for themselves.”

The Wildrose District Council for the First, Second and Third Camrose, First New Norway and First Hay Lakes groups was formed in 1960 with Larry Williams as president.

Max McLean Men’s Wear was an outlet for scouting supplies until the Central Region took over the supply centre on a much larger scale.

In 1967 a group of 21 Scouts led by Henry Haugen, Bill Steen and Chuck Greig travelled to Expo 67 in Montreal by bus. The Scouts were hosted enroute

Lorrie Sitler, a trustee for the city of Camrose, was elected as the chair for 2015-16, while Laurie Skori, trustee from Flagstaff County East, was selected as vice-chair.

Both Ms. Sitler and Ms. Skori are first-term members of the board of trustees. Ms. Sitler has served as vice-chair since 2013.

The first action of the new executive members was to express their thanks and appreciation to outgoing board chair Kendall Severson, who stepped into the leadership role after the election in the fall of 2013, as one of the few board members with any previous experience.

Members of the board also selected their committee placements for the coming year, handled a few other “housekeeping” items required in order to get the year underway, and confirmed that they will continue to meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month, starting at 9 a.m.

The first regular board meeting of the 2015-16 school year will take place on Sept. 10.

Church of God to install new pastor Sept. 13 Submitted

The Camrose Church of God is pleased to welcome Manfred Boller as the newest member of its pastoral team.

Now that Pastor Boller and his family have moved to Camrose from Winnipeg, Manitoba, an installation celebration is being planned for Sunday, Sept. 13, at 10 a.m.

Pastor Boller previously served parishes in Lethbridge and Coaldale and Newton Siding, Manitoba. His wife, Shannon, worked at Booth University College in Winnipeg as administrative assistant to the faculty.

Pastor Boller brings a wealth of experience to his role as “connecting pastor.” Growing up in Germany, he left public school at age 15 to enter a bi-vocational school for three years, then served the German Armed Forces for eight years, during which he took advantage of schooling opportunities offered. Following military service, he worked in management for a leading heating and air conditioning corporation.

A life-altering spiritual experience led Pastor Manfred to Canada where he studied for ministerial service at Providence Seminary in Otterburne, Manitoba. He gained valuable ministry experience in Sierra Leone, and in three different pastoral charges.

Lead Pastor Brian Krushel is delighted to have Pastor Boller as a ministry partner at the Church of God. “He’s already proven himself as a superb team member, complementing the other staff which consists of Diane Carlson, minister of worship, and Louise Louis, office manager,” said Krushel. “We enjoy his sense of humour, deeply appreciate his commitment to Christ, and have been challenged by his excellent organizational skills.”

As connecting pastor, Manfred Boller will develop relationships with parishioners and members of the community, and encourage them to connect with each other. He will also help people discover their gifts for service and ministry in the church, our community, and the world abroad.

The community is warmly invited to the installation service on Sept. 13. Former staff member Rev. David Van Roon will be the guest speaker, and Rev. John Campbell from Canadian Church of God Ministries will preside over the installation liturgy.

A dinner will follow the worship service. More information is available online at www.camrosechurchofgod.ca.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, September 1, 2015 – Page 31

Letter to the Editor: The Camrose Ski Jump WOW, what a dynamic community we have! - alive with thoughtful ski jump dialogue in homes, businesses and coffee shops. I can’t claim originality of all the thoughts that follow and I thank all those who shared their knowledge, logic and imagination with me.

I do not hang my hat on being a taxpayer because I think our municipal government, certainly in this matter, must address their minds for all Camrosians including the non-taxpaying aged (who did pay something to make this a remarkable and iconic landmark) and youth (who may only be inspired and/or actually learn on it) .

Years ago my husband wanted us to buy a house on an existing man-made retention pond. I said: “What!? You want moi to live on a mosquito infested, unsafe, unattractive slough!” I would have loved City Council to spend some money to fill it in, tho’ I lacked the courage to ask a municipality to spend money to satisfy a handful of homeowners. I went along and co-signed the purchase contract with my eyes wide open about the already existing “eyesore”. Boy was I wrong - on two counts. Firstly, and thankfully, my husband had foresight and vision. We have grandly lived with the small and large pleasures and pains that slough has provided us over 30 plus years. Secondly, we now see City Hall [en]couraged to jump into high gear to destroy an “unattractive” ski jump when someone uses the “if-all-else-fails” argument for safety, which may be a red herring.

If citizens and Council must be scared into spending money for safety about our town, then for Heavens sake do barricade all the edges of Mirror Lake and other ponds. And what about those gawldang youngsters that rappel down from the ring road bridge or persistently test their courage and skills on the CNR wooden trestle next to the ski jump?

Oh good grief - I just thought of the skate board park which is really dangerous for some. Perhaps City money should be spent to remove it. Then there are those new arena steep stairs with no railings.

That the ski jump is unsafe begs the question - just how so? - is it going to fall down? - or - if I climb on it and the mis-management of my body causes me to fall down, then it’s the ski jump that’s unsafe and not me? I am amazed how people now state with a certainty that the jump is unsafe! Who was the fella that first falsely yelled “Fire!” and created a windstorm of panic? What was his alarm based on?

I confess I am one of legions of scallywag Camrosians who have

climbed up to and on a Camrose ski jump in the past one hundred years.

The current giant jungle gym has been standing for about 27 years.

What longevity standards were required by our city when it was erected? In the 60s, I had the ominous yet thrilling, mind bending (without drugs) opportunity to face up to the former wooden tower. Never did get to the top but for all my years I have wanted to be able to stand at the top, not just for the view, but to be able to say, “So that’s what those athletes looked down onto and into as they made a momentous decision and compelled their muscles to push off!” Mark me down as a willing tourist if there’s a chance I can stand on top of a classic “open” ski jump. OUR jump wasn’t only for the pleasure of a few brave people. Just staring at it was as good and maybe better a sight than a brand new city hall. It was and is a magnet for a mind that wants to marvel. Maybe, I am wrong. If so, those enormous “pieces of junk” also known as mining steam shovels on the west side of the Stan Reynolds museum should also be removed. Personally, I was keen and appreciative to be allowed to get up close to those man-made wonders.

I concur that the Camrose ski area is THE logical site for an interpretive center toasting our national and international repute as a celebrated site of Nordic sport. Some communities have had the foresight to keep a grain elevator in operating condition which makes a much more compelling tourist attraction than just a room full of memorabilia and film. An intact ski jump gives IMPACT! to the true story of humans backpacking gunny sacks of snow up that tower.

I am told that OUR scaffold ski jump, technically, is now called an “in-run tower”. Other jumps are earth works, carving and filling in hills. There are just three in-run towers in Canada; the Calgary Olympic tower, the tallest jump at Thunder Bay and that “piece of junk” standing sentinel on top of a hill in Camrose. We should be proud of it and not offended by it. Albeit, our current in-run tower is only about 27 or so years old, being one of only three may be a useful counter point to have it qualify for historic funding.

I am surprised to read and hear that with a certainty, our jump is of NO use. What follows is a sampling of possible uses brought to my attention: - if only as a meritorious, appropriate and big enough historical monument to what occurred on that hill for over a hundred years - a tourism attraction

- a fabulous lookout - an inspiration - something akin (yet lesser) to the infamous Vancouver Grouse Mountain Grind where you may record your name and time on a website and, once on top, you receive a free pass to a local gym (or the gym on the top floor of our city hall). Annually, 150,000 people from ages 7 to 90 climb the Grind. Wish I was the clever one to think of that!

- sort of a giant StairMaster for strength and endurance training, utilized by physical education programs, sports groups and possibly the Primary Care Network - a natural fund-raiser like walking or bicycling with pledges for all levels of achievement on the stairs - a nationally (maybe internationally) renowned training and development facility for winter sports such as the Nordic Combined and others (like we used to be). It is acknowledged that our jump cannot be an Olympic calibre jump, but initial research indicates it has the right stuff for beginner to intermediate jumping.

- Light it up with energy efficient LEDs. Dare I think that all of the above could be incorporated and compliment the downhillers and cross country skiers with informed careful planning and engineering.

Some of the uses might be allocated among the snow and non-snow seasons. Yup - modifications would be in order, but the bones are there.

I understand the jump already has pilings about 20 feet underground.

YEAH BUT PEG, WHAT ABOUT THE MONEY FOR THIS? Many citizens seem to have the impression that our City would solely bear the financial burden. The Province paid for the current jump to be built. There is a myriad of provincial and federal resources to be researched whether from the athletic, health and fitness, historical or tourism perspective. Regretfully, there has been no time allotted to study this. In light of government budget timelines, it may take as much as two years to fully know what could be accessed and only after a well conceived, thoughtful plan has been developed, which of itself could take at least one year. Present citizen resources have been harried and hurried to get City Hall to stop the uninformed and ill-considered rush to judgment. Frankly, it makes me and many others wonder WHAT’S THE RUSH - WHAT’S THE SUB AGENDA - IS THERE SOME OTHER REASON OR REASONS NOT TOLD TO CAMROSIANS? It is perfectly logical and sound thinking to bring money into this issue. It should also be perfectly log-

The space for this letter has been paid for by Peggy Rhine Shuman

ical and sound thinking to question a municipality spending a minimum of $18k which may likely turn into $50k or more to needlessly tear down a heritage structure that already means so much to lots and lots of Camrosians, past and present, living here and elsewhere throughout the world.

There might even be an individual benefactor or two. We’ve seen some very generous donors come out for both of the historic and brand new performing arts centers in Camrose. Some may want recognition for their gifts. Put their name on something.

A salute and tip of the hat goes to Councillors Lindstrand, Ofrim and Sears, all of whom, on August 10th, recognized the public passion about this and urged tabling the matter for a warranted, proper and appropriate study. These are the hallmarks of a wise and thoughtful elected official. Six others in that same room disagreed. I am disappointed that those minds yielded to a rushed and hasty decision to vote, less than one month later, on tearing down our ski jump If you also feel, with dismay, that we North Americans (and in particular our wonderful city, fully flavored by both the young and the old) has become a “quick, let’s just tear it down, dispose and not recycle society”, then perhaps you might make this known to our nine elected representatives. THE crucial meeting is at City Hall at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8th. This a regular council meeting and is therefore open to the public. See our new city hall with a floor plan for council chambers that really sets our representatives “up and apart”.

Good stuff has been written by Irvin Servold about the nature and composition of a committee to research and plan this matter. I would add that each committee member should be one with a positive point of view, not negative, and be a visionary, long-term thinker, not shortterm.

And finally, to really scare the heck out of everyone, it is possible to make the summit available to the aged and handicapped. The Calgary Olympic ski tower has an elevator.

Oh, just fasten your seat belts and stop screaming. Perhaps a powered platform that runs along the stairs.

Who knows until we explore!

Come on City Hall, help an old woman with her bucket list. Protect an invaluable and incalculable city asset.

Peggy Rhine Shuman P.S. Does anyone know if there were ever any girls or women that ski jumped here in Camrose?

Axemen place second, advance to final

By Murray Green

The Camrose Axemen defeated the Stony Plain Mets 2-0 and 7-1 in playoff semifinals on Aug. 22 and 23 to advance to the North Central Alberta Baseball League championship series.

While Camrose won two straight games in the league semifinals, the Westlock Red Lions knocked off last year’s

champion Edmonton Blackhawks in three games.

The Blackhawks finished first in the league with a 14-4 record followed

by Camrose at 13-5, Stony Plain at 12-6 and Westlock at 11-7.

Camrose scored two runs in the fifth inning and shut out the Mets in the first game behind the solid pitching of Blair Mulder. He

pitched a complete game, allowing just four hits and two walks, while striking out six batters.

Ryan Petryshyn led the offence with two hits.

Chance Wheatley, Mulder, Dylan Borman, Joe Pasychnyk, Paul Ofrim and Braedon Majeski all had a hit in support. Wheatley hit a double for a RBI. The second game was

closer than the score indicated with Camrose scoring four runs in the seventh inning to break the game wide open.

Riley Guntrip went three for four as the team collected 10 hits. Borman and Petryshyn had two hits each, while Mulder, Jordan Riopel and Majeski had one hit.

Corey Martz and Kyle Muzechka combined on a

one-hitter. Martz tossed five and two-thirds allowing one run on one hit and five walks, while striking out five batters. Muzechka allowed one walk and struck out two.

Westlock won the best of three final series 2-1 on Aug. 29 and 30 against Westlock at Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park.

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson Precious Moments Opening night of Symphony Under the Sky in Hawrelak Park, Edmonton – my favourite music event of the year. Four nights of beautiful music, outdoors in the park. Friendly happy people, informal atmosphere. Some people are under the amphitheater in reserve seats; an equal number are in lawn chairs or blankets on the grass. An anticipatory feeling; some people have been coming to this series since it began twenty years ago.

People are greeting others they only see once a year at this event. They don’t know each others’ names, but feel like old friends.

On opening night of the series, the concert begins with O Canada. I love the orchestra’s arrangement – written by Edmonton composer Allan Gilliland at the request of Lieutenant Governor Lois Hole, who thought Alberta needed a version of O Canada with more pizzazz.

Two thousand people are standing, singing O Canada. I’m getting goose bumps.

And right on cue – as has happened every year in my memory – a dozen Canada geese fly by in stately slow motion.

Goose bumps indeed! *** Phone call with a favourite person. We’re talking about a serious matter. In the middle of a sentence, he interrupts himself. “I just have to stop for a minute. Out the window I can see a woodpecker. Don’t see them very often.”

I feel myself smiling. Our serious matter will be fine. *** My teapot lid has two chips which I glued back together. My toddler grandson sees the teapot, looks at its cracked lid and says, “Oooh, owwie.” This tickles my grandmother heart.

My grandson is now an adult. I still have the teapot with the cracked lid because every time I see it, it reminds me of that moment! *** One of my favourite people lived in a cabin on a cliffside, overlooking the ocean and across from a little island where eagles nested. Whenever I visited her, at any moment when an eagle flew by, everything would stop.

Whoever noticed the eagle first would say, “Eagle, eagle, eagle!” We’d all stop and watch the eagle and be awed by its strength and power, grace and beauty. And the day would be uplifted.

From her I learned the art of mastering the small moment of perfection. *** We know to celebrate the big things – the graduations, weddings, anniversaries; winning the trophy; winning the contract; mastering a tough challenge.

Most days (at least in my life) don’t have big things to celebrate. But if we’re paying attention, every day has small moments of perfection.

From my friend I learned that life is even richer when we stop to notice and celebrate the tiny spots of beauty, the precious moments.

It doesn’t have to be a big thing. Someone’s act of kindness. Something that makes you laugh. Finishing a mundane task. Sunset or rainbow.

Seconds of precious moments can add up to minutes. A second or two of savouring and appreciating can change a whole hour, and that hour can change a whole day.

When we start to watch for them, we notice even more things to celebrate. That shifts our perspective. And that changes everything. *** P.S. I am now ready to let go of the teapot with the cracked lid because I’ve learned something else: I hold that precious moment in my heart, so I don’t need the teapot!

Community mailboxes

The article last week about community mailboxes was very entertaining, although I don’t think that was the intention. The letter carrier quoted in the article foretold of all the horrific consequences that will come with CMBs including (according to her), a 20 per cent drop in property value should you be unlucky enough to have one in front of your house.

Furthermore, she claimed to have improved the quality of life for anyone lucky enough to live on her route; anything from shovelling little old ladies’ sidewalks to returning lost pets. I can only speak for myself, but I for one think the horrors that she describes certainly justify our federal government continuing to bankroll Canada Post in perpetuity despite their annual losses of around a quarter of a billion dollars a year.

Landon Lewsaw, Camrose Misconceptions

I feel compelled to address some misconcep-

tions of what a group of concerned citizens is attempting to accomplish by preservince a historical symbol of nordic sport in Camrose.

First and foremost, a moratorium on the fate of the ski jump is most important. This is a unique opportunity to create something meaningful for the city of Camrose. We are one of only three free standing “in runs” in all of Canada, namely Thunder Bay, Ontario, Can-Olympic Park in Calgary, and Camrose. I see no reason why a quick decision is scheduled for Sept. 8.

I can understand where some homeowners or would be owners may not find the scaffold in full view of their site desirable in its present condition. On the other hand, some people enjoy the view. I can only say, why locate in view of this landmark? I fail to understand why people build or buy adjacent to such areas as the golf course and then complain about golf balls in their yard. I guess you cannot satisfy all the people all the time. The ski scaffold, a “landmark,” certainly.

There was also a coal mine, “Stoney Creek Coal Mine,” close to the same location. As a small boy I walked that valley many times. One day I stopped at the mine and asked if I could see what it was all about. A kindly gentleman by the name of Bruce Munn agreed that I could ride in the coal car pulled by “Shorty” the horse. I rode into the mine shaft to see the miners digging coal. Historical, I guess.

Slightly off subject? Con-

sider it ramblings of an old senior.

We are only asking council to consider allowing us or a committee of competent, interested citizen, for time to fully research other alternatives for the ski scaffold. Time is required for that purpose.

With regard to the police officer: strange that since this controversy started an incident mysteriously appeared. Food for thought.

As a lad of 12 years, the year of my first jump, I made many trips up the scaffold with a gunny sack of snow over my shoulder.

I don’t recall anyone being concerned for my safety. I sure wasn’t. Is the danger any worse than the two train tressles, one on either side of the scaffold? Maybe we should have the railroads remove them, or the bridge on the ring road. Or how about the liability concerns of the bodies of water in the city of Camrose.

Nothing is totally safe.

As for the cost of demolition, no one has given a quote of the total cost for tearing down the scaffold, landscaping that would need to be done, and erecting a significant monument. We have heard a few different quotes for tear down only. Also, no one has an estimate on the cost of keeping the scaffold; we haven’t had time to research that.

I would encourage all interested people, yeas and nays to attend the council meeting on Sept. 8 at City Hall.

On the Other Hand…

TRUTH IS MORE THAN A “SOUND BITE” I recently attended four excellent Shakespeare plays produced

by Freewill Players in Edmonton and Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

I was particularly taken by the production of Othello in which Othello enters into a mixed race marriage with Desdemona.

The marriage becomes the fuel for a wide variety of volatile emotions.

Othello captures both the volatility of racism as it is expressed and fueled; but also the destructiveness which racism brings to those who exercise this extreme prejudice. Perpetrator or victim – racism destroys each, and equally so. Shakespeare wrote Othello in 1604 and presented the racism of his day by focusing it on the black Othello, so I went, expecting to see this powerful but familiar reminder of the damaging power of racism against blacks.

However, these artistic directors are far too creative for that. Othello would be played by Michael Lawrenchuk, a First Nations Cree; and every time a racial reference was made it was not “black” but “Cree.” I was startled at first by the courage of the director and cast, but eventually even more astonished at how this version of the play, written in 1604 in England, was so relevant in 2015 Canada.

Later, I reflected not so much on the play as the playwright. Shakespeare mastered what today is all too often ignored. There is a difference between being timely and being timeless. That is why Shakespeare has endured In contrast, today’s culture has bought into a mentality that demands political correctness. Politics is ever changing so political correctness changes with those fluctuations. Political correctness, of necessity, may be timely but cannot timeless.

We are told everything must be expressed in a manner that is contemporary, current and modern.

What is contemporary one day becomes contemptible the next. To seek to be contemporary, of necessity, may be timely but not timeless.

From instant coffee (a true abomination to a real coffee lover); reconstituted juice (okay for astronauts but I am earthbound) to microwave meals (if I am in a real hurry); everything seems to strive to meet our demands for instant gratification. Instantly has replaced intimacy which takes time, as is witnessed by a world of strained relationships. Anything that meets the demand of being instant, of necessity may be timely but cannot timeless.

But Othello, the Moor in 1604 England, was as timely and timeless as Othello, the Cree, is in 2015 Canada.

I listen to the news, microwave my food, and get impatient at red lights. It seems that in many ways, my life expresses more concern and interest for what is timely than what is timeless.

I may have surrendered to political correctness. I may have tried to be contemporary as a disguise for being relevant. I may have even emphasized the instant over the effort at intimacy.

I may be captured by my culture! On the other hand, I can follow the lead of Will Shakespeare and ask of my life encounters and my life investments – timely or timeless?!?

Truth is never a politically correct, contemporary, instant fix answer to a momentary question – a sound bite. Truth is more than timely; it is of necessity, timeless.

Re-occurring issues

As a taxpayer I would like to address a couple of issues that seem to be reoccurring in our fine city.

We had an older ski jump structure that cannot be used again for various reasons.

There is some controversy on what we should do with this structure. The landing field is not long enough to provide safe landing if rebuilt. It’s going to cost the taxpayers a considerable amount of money to have it refurbished and then sit there again without being used. I believe it was last week when a city police officer had to scale the hill and talk some of our city’s younger population down off the structure. I have seen this trespass incident more than once. This took a police officer away from his daily duties and could have possibly caused the City of Camrose to be sued if one of them had fallen and hurt themselves or worse. There have been provisions to try to stop this invasion of property trespass more than once, but they will always find a way to violate this. Lord knows why, I guess if there’s a mountain to climb someone will try it. I’m for taking it down, maybe keeping part of the structure with pictures and placing it in the museum as an exhibit. Our city residents have to travel to Rabbit Hill (Edmonton), Gwynne, Red Deer, in order to ski downhill. The hill could be converted to a downhill slope at

minimum and would be used as such.

The second is we constantly see truckloads of rubbish being transported to the dump without a tarp or any coverage over the box. We do have a bylaw officer in the city that should be taking care of these situations as there is garbage flying off these trucks as they drive out to the dump. The City pays a lot of money to have this mess cleaned up on a regular basis and within a week later we find the garbage strewn along the roadside again. I believe there is a littering bylaw in Camrose. I would hope that a City council member would address the problems as we do want to keep our city clean and attractive. I believe the fine should be boosted to $500 for the first offence and raised to about $1,000 and so on in increments, with a court appearance each time. This would take the responsibility of keeping track of the number of offences committed off the officer issuing the ticket. There are dumps where the personnel operating the scale has the authority to issue tickets as they enter the dump area if not covered in some way or another.

This action would cause the offender to think twice about using a $20 tarp. I would like to see something done about this as I’m sure other taxpayers would as well.

Rodger Banack, Camrose Toastmasters Holds Open House

I want to thank the citizens of Camrose for the support shown to our Camrose Toastmasters club during this past year. Last September our club was in danger of folding due to low membership. We had two returning members and two new members. To remain a chartered club, we were required to have a minimum of eight members. We had until the end of March to achieve eight members or lose our

charter. The club rallied and everyone became active recruiters, ending the year with sixteen members. Even more remarkable, our club achieved Presidents Distinguished status; a designation given to clubs that have achieved international goals for educational awards and membership building.

Toastmaster International is a recognized leader in both communication and leadership development, with many Fortune 500 companies setting up corporate clubs because they understand the value to their organization.

“The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others.

These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback— and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.” (www.toastmasters. org; Aug 2015) The Camrose Toastmasters club is beginning the fall season with an Open House on September 9, at 6:45 p.m., in the Chuck McLean Art Centre (4809 – 52 Street, Camrose). If you are interested in improving your speaking and/or leadership skills, you may wish to observe the toastmaster program in action. We invite you to join us and see if this program might be useful to you. For more information call Joan at 780-781-9927.

Buick Encore A premium crossover

Graeme Davidson

By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Buick Encore at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC is a premium crossover that can keep up with your every move.

Encore’s character comes through with tailored creases in the hoods that highlight refinement, blue-accented projectorbeam headlamps that give Encore an expressive look, and the chrome portholes and waterfall grille that are signatures of Buick design.

Interior Inside, Encore’s seamlessly flowing lines, highlighted by ice-blue ambient lighting, create a relaxed, yet spacious environment.

The instrument panel’s low and away design gives a feeling of openness, while softto-the-touch materials like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and available leatherappointed heated front seats add to your comfort.

The five-passenger seating transforms to 1,371 litres of cargo space with the second-row seats folded flat. Even with the rear seat up, Encore gives you 532 litres of cargo space.

Performance Encore’s 1.4 litre turbo engine with variable valve

timing produces 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,850 rpm. The estimated fuel consumption with front wheel drive is 9.5 litres per 100 km in the city and 7.2 litres per 100 km on the highway. All wheel drive Encores achieve 10.2 litres per 100 km in the city and 8.0 litres per 100 km on the highway.

The transmission is a six-speed automatic, electronically controlled with Driver Shift Control.

Technology With Encore, the world really does revolve around you.

Enjoy fuller sound with the optional Bose premium seven-speaker audio system.

Available OnStar with 4G LTE keeps you connected to your world. The all-new available technology provides your Encore with a fast, reliable, available Wi-Fi hotspot. Passengers can tap into available highspeed wireless Internet and connect up to seven compatible mobile devices to browse websites, stream movies, send e-mails and more.

Use your voice to control the Buick IntelliLink interactive audio system or have

the optional Navigation System guide you to what you are looking for. Your compatible smartphone connecs via Bluetoothy to Encore’s high resolution, 178 mm diagonal LCD touch-screen.

With the ease of enhanced voice recognition (or steering-wheel-mounted controls) you have access to available audio apps on your phone such as Stitcher SmartRadio and Sirius XM Satellite Radio (with three month trial). IntelliLink also automatically stores your phone contacts for quick access.

There’s even a USB port and an available 120-volt outlet to connect your other electronic devices. You’re doing all of this while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes squarely on the road.

Keeping you safe Encore’s available Forward Collision Alert and available Lane Departure Warning use digital imaging to help you avoid trouble before it happens. Forward Collision Alert provides audible and visual cues if you’re quickly approaching another vehicle and the system senses a collision may occur. Lane Departure Warning lets you know if

you wander from your lane without using your turn signal. Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert makes you aware of approaching traffic when backing up. Available Side Blind Zone Alert warns you when a vehicle is in your side-mirror blind spot. And a standard Rear Vision Camera helps you see objects while in reverse.

Encore has ten standard air bags, including dual front, head curtain side, front and outboard-mounted rearseat side-impact air bags, and even driver and frontpassenger knee bags. Safety features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times.

Front and rear park assist is designed to help the driver park and avoid obstacles while manoeuvring. Ultrasonic sensors detect objects in front of and behind the vehicle. When the system detect an object, it provides audible alerts through Encore’s speakers. Low-toned beeps from the rear speakers indicate an object at the rear; high-

toned beeps from the front speakers indicate an object in front of Encore. The faster the beeps, the closer the object.

The 2015 Encore comes with a five-year, OnStar Basic Plan. This standard plan gives you access to the RemoteLink Key Fob Services, which let you lock and unlock car doors, activate the horn and lights, and even start the Encore remotely from your compatible smartphone or tablet.

Plus, get OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics and Dealer Maintenance Notification to make service scheduling simple. Along with the five-year OnStar Basic Plan, you’ll also receive a six-month trial of the Directions and Connections Plan that includes Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Live Advisor Assistance, and available Hands-Free Calling.

You can see the new Buick Encore by visiting McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 385048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Familiar truck stays in the neighbourhood

We know breakdowns don’t happen between 9 and 5.

So this fall, to serve you better, we are offering 24-hour round-the-clock service to your farm, field or worksite.

When the weather is good, you don’t take breaks, and neither do we.

Allen and Linda Tomaszewski

By Murray Green

Allen Tomaszewski, of Round Hill, put in a few long days of hard labour to receive his historical 1946 Chevrolet half ton truck.

It was purchased by a neighbour of his in 1946 as a new truck at Stan Reynolds in Wetaskiwin.

“I’m not sure what year, but he sold it to another neighbour. The truck was last registered in 1963 and I still have the papers for it. I picked up the truck in 1985 and it was sitting in a cattle shelter all that time,” explained Tomaszewski.

“I helped my neighbour harvest one year because he was sick and couldn’t do it.

He was actually my wife’s great uncle. After I helped him he asked what I wanted for my services. That’s when I asked him about the truck. So, that’s how I ended up with it. The truck stayed within the neighbourhood, about a mile radius of where it was first located.”

When Tomaszewski received the truck it needed some care.

“The fenders were cracked, but is was all intact and it ran. Then we (his family) tore the truck right down to the bare bones, every last nut, and replaced most parts. We replaced all of the bearings and went through everything. The engine was completely rebuilt.”

Tomaszewski went with stainless steel when he could and added chrome pieces.

“The original colour was red and black and I wasn’t impressed with the colours, so I painted it (maroon).”

When he first received the truck Tomaszewski didn’t realize how much more hard work he made for himself.

“I obtained a few estimates on what it would cost to rebuild it. Looking back after it was done, those estimates were so far out.

I always tell young people when they want to fix up a vehicle to buy one that is already done. It would save them a ton of money and time. Once you are so far into it there is a point of no return. Either you keep going, or throw the money out the window.”

Tomaszewski estimates more than 1,000 hours were spent just on painting, polishing and body work.

“I would imagine, if we look back, and kept track of hours it would be between 2,500 and 3,000 hours invested,” he said.

Restoring vehicles is a labour of love and not about the money.

“Because I knew the people that owned it before, it meant something to me,” said Tomaszewski. “The guy that originally bought it was like a dad to us and he lived across the road. He was a bachelor and if he needed anything done, he called on us because there were 10 of us children across the road. He would ask us to pick rocks, herd cattle, or something,” he recalled. “It’s about memories and keeping the truck in the family.”

Tomaszewski’s last appraisal was at $73,200. He said it still doesn’t reflect what he put into it.

does. I don’t think I would ever sell it.”

Right now he is enjoying going to the surrounding car shows and displaying his truck.

“It is interesting to hear other people’s stories,” he said.

Simmet named Fulbright grant recipient Harvard University graduate Hilton Simmet, son of Randy and Melanie Simmet, of Camrose, has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Program grant for research in Senegal.

Fulbright grant recipients are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential.

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, and is designed to increase understanding between the people of the United States and the peo-

ple of other countries. The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs.

Participating governments and host institutions, corporations and foundations in foreign countries, and in the United States, also provide direct and indirect support.

Since its establishment in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late U.S. Senator, J. William Fulbright, of Arkansas, the Fulbright Program has given approximately 360,000

students, scholars, teachers, artists and scientists the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Fulbright alumni have achieved distinction in government, science, the arts, business, philanthropy, education and many other fields. Fifty three Fulbright alumni from 12 countries have been awarded the Nobel Prize, and 82 alumni have received Pulitzer Prizes. Prominent Fulbright alumni include: Muhammad Yunus, founder, Grameen Bank, and 2006 Nobel Peace Prize

recipient; Juan Manuel Santos, President of Colombia; John Hope Franklin, noted American historian and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient; Riccardo Giacconi, physicist and 2002 Nobel Laureate; Amar Gopel Bose, founder, Bose Corporation; Renee Fleming, soprano; Jonathan Franzen, writer; and Daniel Libeskind, architect.

Fulbright recipients are among over 50,000 individuals participating in U.S. Department of State exchange programs each year. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is administered by the Institute of International Education.

Playing outside fuels the curiosity of children From Alberta Health Services

For generations, parents have been telling their children to “go outside and play.” It’s good advice: playing outside is a big part of healthy childhood development. And it’s fun.

“Children are eager to understand how the world works and they do this through play,” says Laura Crawford, provincial lead for Play and Physical Literacy for the Early Years at Alberta Health Services. “Outdoor play fuels curi-

osity, problem solving and social skills.”

Young kids, from toddlers to six years old, discover all kinds of new things while they’re climbing, swinging, running or riding their bikes.

Playing outside helps them develop basic movement skills.

And as they master the monkey bars, they’re also building self-confidence.

Children play time

“From ages one to four, children need at least three hours of activity over the course of

the day,” Crawford says. “Children five and older need at least one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.”

Some of that play can be structured and led by an adult so children can learn how to do a new skill or activity. Structured activities are things such as going to the park and kicking a ball, throwing a ball, playing soccer or learning to swim or ride a bike.

But it’s also important for children to have plenty of unstructured play, such as running around or using their

imagination to invent brand new games and activities. Crawford suggests allowing most play to be unstructured.

As a parent, you can watch, wait and listen as your child plays. Watch to see what your child is interested in and what he or she may be struggling with.

Wait to see how you can offer support, but give him/her time to practise and see if he/she can figure it out. Finally, listen to him/her describe his/her game or suggest how you can play along or help.

Sept. 25, 1960 - Aug. 24, 2015 Laura Lehr of Camrose, formerly of Bawlf, passed away on August 24, 2015 at the age of 54 years. Laura was born in Prince Rupert, BC and spent her early years there with her parents and her three brothers. In 1968 they moved to Edmonton, AB, where Laura continued her schooling and made many friends. In 1983 she married Kevin Lehr and in 1985 they moved to Camrose and eventually onto their acreage at Bawlf, where they raised their three sons, Roy, Steven and Nickolas. Laura loved to cook and for many years worked as a chef and a baker. In 2010 she struck out on a new career path and obtained her Health Care Aide diploma. She was employed by The Bethany Group. Laura leaves to mourn her sons Roy, Steven (Tami) and grandson Tristan, Nickolas (Shevy), the father of her children Kevin, her brothers Colin (Jannose), Brian (Linda), Martin (Terri), and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Roy and Isabelle Wagner. At Laura’s request there will be no funeral. A private gathering will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made in Laura’s name to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or to a charity of one’s own choice.

William Clare Sargent Nov. 15, 1944 - Aug. 26, 2005 I remember the day that I met you, And the day that God made you mine.

I remember the day that He took you away, I will until the end of time.

But through all the tears and heartaches, There is one thing that makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you, Those precious years we had.

My lips cannot tell how I miss you, My heart cannot tell you what to say, God alone knows how I miss you, In a home that is lonesome today.

Your smile is gone forever, And your face I cannot touch, Still I have our precious memories, I love you so very much.

Your memory is my keepsake, With which I’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, I have you forever in my heart.

In loving memory, wife Ruth, children Carey and Terry, Rose, Dawn and Shawn, grandchildren Andrew and Kimberley, Megan and Aidan

John leaves to mourn his loving wife Theresa; (nee Yurkoski); children Tim; Harvey (Patricia); Leonard (Jody); Elaine (Brent) and Patt (Skip); grandchildren Melinda, Pam (Tom), Jamie, Greg (Heather), Wes (Colette), David, Andrea (Tyler), Karli, Jon (Kari), Aaron, Blake, Dane, Tyler; great-grandchildren Brandon (Danielle), Jayce, Kai, Aaron and Ella; one sister Olga Banack, brother Bill (Doris); numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

John was a quiet man, wise and, most importantly, a humble man. He spoke few words; but if you were lucky enough or smart enough to listen – he’d come out with some great humor or timeless life lessons, which weren’t taught in books.

He spent most of his life working hard on the family farm near Round Hill. He loved his family, the land, his community and his animals; especially his dairy cows.

John thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He was a quiet, but powerful influence on all of them. A little piece of him can be seen in each and every one of them.

John was a man of action, not a man of words. He was a great joke teller, friend and neighbor. He was faithful, honest, hardworking, compassionate, selfless and wise. To be considered one or two of these things in a lifetime is worth mention. But to be known for all of these things is something very special. He was our Hero.

We just weren’t allowed to tell him that.

Mass of Christian Burial was held on Thursday, July 30, 2015 at the Transfiguration of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church in Round Hill, with Father Greg Faryna presiding.

The family of John Zeniuk would like to express their gratitude to all those who have given gifts of flowers, memorial donations, sympathy cards, condolences, as well as attending the funeral services.

A special thank you to Dr. Slabbert and his staff for the extraordinary care you gave, as well as the staff of St. Mary’s hospital. Thank you to Father Greg Faryna and Father Larry Pederson for celebrating the mass and last rites. Thank you to Weber Funeral Home for handling all arrangements, as well as to Steve and Tracy Kushnerik for providing the wonderful funeral lunch.

Stanley Norbert MacDonald July 16, 1934 - August 25, 2015 Stanley Norbert MacDonald was born July 16, 1934 to Fred and Margaret (Weller) MacDonald, the youngest of ten children. Growing up in Rosalind, he attended Rosalind school until his high school graduation and then furthered his education at McTavish Business College in Edmonton. He then spent time working at the Texaco Refinery in Edmonton. In 1954, a call from his father beckoned him home, to work alongside his father and brother Gord in the family business of Rosalind Big M Foods and the Rosalind Post office.

On May 1, 1965 he married Karen Anne Sheridan and they made Rosalind their home. To this union four children were born; Brenda, Brian, Kevin and Keith.

Stan enjoyed and participated in many activities over the years: baseball, hockey, curling, golf, gardening and could really tear up the dance floor jiving with his wife. Spending time with his grandchildren was always a special joy that he cherished. He was a life-time member of the Rosalind Elks, a member of the Rosalind Fire Department and a charter member of the Knights of Columbus. In his later years he was active with the Rosalind Drop-In Center and enjoyed his daily morning walks. Head down and full steam ahead, he was often finding all kinds of treasures along the way. His strong faith was very prevalent in his daily life. He was always very proud to call Rosalind his home and took pleasure in sharing many stories of family adventures. Sausage making night was enjoyed by many friends and the bar was always open at the back of the store. Stan’s generosity extended to the entire community, believing the customer always came first and he was always willing to lend a helping hand in any community endeavour. He was a highly respected member of the Rosalind community.

In October of 2013 he was diagnosed with chronic leukemia and in May of this year, his illness had advanced to a very aggressive acute leukemia. On August 25, 2015 his journey in this life ended.

He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Karen; his children Brenda Hochhausen of Daysland (Ashley, Mitchell, Brooke and Kurt); Brian and Colleen of Rosalind (Ben, Kate and Mac); Kevin and Michelle of Camrose (Carter, Payton and Nate); Keith and Maureen of Rosalind (Zack, Paige and Claire); his sister Jean Scullion of Comox, BC, and his brother Gordon (Adeline) of Camrose; along with numerous nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Fred and Margaret, and seven siblings.

He will forever be remembered for his humbleness, his genuine laugh and truly kind spirit.

A Prayer Vigil was held at 7:00 p.m., Sunday, August 30, 2015 from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church, Daysland.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 11:00 a.m., Monday, August 31, 2015 from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church, Daysland with Rev. Leon Kler as celebrant. Interment has taken place in the St. Elizabeth’s Cemetery, Rosalind.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada, Daysland Hospital Foundation, or to the Rosalind Cemetery Fund. To send condolences, please visit www. burgarfuneralhome.com.

CLBI welcomes students back for another year

By Dan Jensen Canadian Lutheran Bible students embarked on another year of study and eye-opening experiences Sept. 1.

“The second year students are taking classes this week on building a leadership team,” said CLBI president Harold Rust. “The classes for both first and second year classes will start on Sept. 17.”

The annual canoe and hiking trip for first and second year students will start Sept. 10.

“They’ll be studying the book of Exodus, while paddling the North Saskatchewan river and hiking in the area west of Nordegg,” said Rust.

An opening service will be held at Grace Lutheran Church on Sept. 5.

The anticipated enrolmment for the fall term is right around 50, the same as it has been for the last few years.

“We have 32 who are going to be in their first year and 18 in their second,” said Rust.

Two will be coming from California, two from Minnesota and one from South Dakota.

Students will be taken to the inner city in Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon just before Remembrance Day to observe and serve with government and church agencies who work with the marginalized.

“The purpose is to break down the barriers between ‘us’ and ‘them’ and help stu-

CLBI president Harold Rust, centre, director of food services Jodi Harrison, left, and office administrator Katherine Schwaiger are excited about the arrival of students for the 2015-16 school year.

dents uphold the dignity of all people,” said Rust.

Second year students will be travelling to destinations around the world in January as part of an Intentional Ministry of Prayer and Cross Cultural Training (IMPACT) program.

The program was designed to give students hands-on experience in the field of missions.

Degree granting CLBI grants Bachelor of Christian Studies degree to students who, after two years in Camrose and the internship program, obtain a year’s worth of credits

from a recognized college or university.

“We have two students who are doing internships this year, one in Norquay, Saskatchewan and one in Camarillo, California,” said Rust.

Students who have the Bachelor of Christian Studies degree usually get involved in ministries in congregations or go to seminaries. Many have attended seminary programs at ACTS Seminary in Langley, B.C., Regent College in Vancouver, Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, Concordia in Edmonton

or the Lutheran Brethren Seminary in Minnesota.

“Three CLBI alumni have just graduated from seminary to serve Lutheran churches on the prairies,” said Rust. “Another will be just entering seminary in Minnesota.”

California visit The SoCal School of the Bible in San Pedro (part of Los Angeles) will be giving friends of CLBI the chance to spend two weeks in January taking bible classes and doing outreach at local churches.

“The people who have been part of the program for the last two years have

found it to be very exciting,” said Rust. “Last year one of the instructors was a cold case detective from the Los Angeles police department who has scrutinized the scriptures and found them to be trustworthy and authentic.”

A similar program will be held at the North Vancouver School of the Bible right after the Family Day weekend in Vancouver.

“It’s going to be fun to mix bible classes with hiking or skiing on the north shore mountains,” said Rust.

CLBI Plus The popular CLBI Plus program will get underway Oct. 8 with a presentation by Pastor Jim Johnson, from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Camarillo, California, on the revival of the Norwegian Lutheran Church.

“Once a month we invite people from the community to come in for supper and afterwards take in an interesting lecture,” said Rust.

The Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute mission is to train, equip and empower servant leaders of all ages within the context of Christian community.

“We send leaders from this community to serve Christ and His church in their called vocations throughout the world,” said Rust. “Our motto is that students come to know Christ more intimately, follow him more closely, and serve God more faithfully.”

Reasons behind the AHS Patient First Strategy Alberta Health Services (AHS) launched its Patient

First Strategy. The strategy is designed to transform the health system by focusing on the needs, values and preferences of patients, clients and their families, and putting them at the centre of their health care teams.

In this op-ed, Dr. Verna Yiu – vice-president, Quality, and Chief Medical Officer for AHS – explains how the Patient First Strategy will improve the care that Albertans receive in all parts of the province.

In health care, as in life, small things can make a big difference.

I was reminded of this — repeatedly — when Alberta Health Services asked hundreds of Albertans about their health care experiences: what they liked, what frustrated them, and what they’d change. We listened.

We took notes. And from this feedback, AHS developed its Patient First Strategy, which AHS released on June 8.

(You can read it, and

learn more, at www.albertahealthservices.ca/patientfirst.asp) For instance, a mother whose young son was seriously ill in hospital told us she appreciated when members of the health team took the time to explain what was happening to her boy, what tests needed to be done and why they needed to be done. She was grateful when the daytime nurse entered the room at the end of her shift to check in, say good night and provide the name of the overnight nurse. That simple act took only a minute or two but demonstrated to a distressed parent: this is someone who cares. This is someone with whom I can trust my little son’s life.

We also listened to and learned from stories that were critical of AHS. We heard about patients being asked the same questions by multiple health providers. We heard about occasions where there was a lack of privacy during personal moments and con-

versations. We heard that inflexible visitation hours prevented patients from getting emotional support from their loved ones.

The lessons within these stories, both complimentary and critical, made their way into the Patient First Strategy. The document will help AHS build on our strengths as a patient- and family-focused organization and ensure we deliver compassionate and collaborative care during every health care encounter.

This is not a theoretical exercise. The strategy outlines four priority actions that will lead to tangible improvements in the delivery of care for you and your loved ones.

We all know, directly or indirectly, there’s stress and anxiety whenever we encounter illness in our lives. We are improving outcomes and experiences in often-difficult health care journeys by empowering patients and families to be equal members

in their health care teams, by listening to their questions and concerns, and by respecting patient and family values, needs and preferences.

Through the strategy, AHS is also improving communications at all levels to ensure that care plans are fully understood by all parties and that pertinent patient information is shared among all members of the care team.

We are further enhancing a team-based approach to care that provides patients and families comprehensive and seamless health care experiences.

And we are improving coordination and continuity of care when patients move between units or facilities.

Good communication, seamless transitions and collaborative care happen every day at AHS sites across the province. With this strategy, we are working to ensure this occurs during every health care encounter, at every facility, in a consistent and stan-

dardized way. AHS is a team and we will support our dedicated and hardworking staff, physicians and volunteers to meet these Patient First guidelines.

Albertans reminded us that, as we work to reduce wait times, add continuing care beds, improve patient outcomes, build big infrastructure, and purchase high-tech medical equipment, we can’t forget about the intimate, face-to-face human interactions at the heart of every health care encounter. Saying a kind word. Making an unscheduled visit to check on a patient. Being an attentive listener. On the surface, they seem like small things. But they’re a big deal for Albertans, and a big deal for AHS. The Patient First Strategy represents the AHS commitment to improve the patient experience by focusing on the priorities and values of the people we serve.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details.

Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality.

2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system.

3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color.

4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity.

5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants.

The UDF program began on July 9, 2015, starting with Zone A and will continue for 2-3 months.

Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discoloration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Emma Knapik at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428. For additional information please visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

Copies of the proposed Bylaw are available at the County Office during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. or online at www.county. camrose.ab.ca

Brian Spielman and Dave Bartel unveil a plaque dedicating the new sign at the Church of God to the Glory of God.

•

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Church of God’s new electronic message centre next to 48 Avenue was dedicated to the Glory of God Aug. 23.

“Some years ago we had Dr. Charles Shumate with us for a church health consultation,” said Church of God pastor Brian Krushel. “Part of his conversation with us had to do with our physical facilities. His comment about the original sign that sat here was ‘my, this has really served its purpose.’”

The sign was funded from the Selma Bartel estate and contributions from numerous other donors. Camrose Motorsports provided the forklift and forklift operator to lift the sign from the transport truck, the City of Camrose building and development department granted the permits and inspected both the construction and electrical, Steve Gatrix and Les Harrison communicated with the City and made financial arrangements, Dave Bartel, Lee Johns, Wayne Hartman and Steven Hartman provided the technical expertise, Don Semrau provided the oversight and foresight of the sign selection and order.
