A Gallery for your Senses

It may be the oil painting with vibrant autumn colours that draws your eye as you amble through Candler Art Gallery, or the light might catch a gem or natural stone necklace dangling from the center of the store, or you may gravitate towards the alluring spectrum of colours in the acrylic, watercolour and oil paints.

Pastels, canvases, charcoals, pencil crayons and paintbrushes beckon, while metaphysical books and Tarot cards line the bookshelves, mingled with an impressive selection of rocks, crystals and jewellery. The friendly, long-time staff bring a wealth of knowledge to the gallery.

Wandering through the gallery is a sensory experience like no other. From beautiful cards based on paintings of Main Street to the Floracopeia essential oils and floral essences, every nook evokes a sense of calm and healing.

Flowing music provides the background tapestry as customers step upstairs to the upper gallery, where a world of colour awaits with walls and shelves adorned with original paintings and pottery by artists from western Canada. Some of

the paintings seem to reach out to you with their use of shading and lighting, creating a textured look. The gallery is planned with its use of colour to promote healing, making people feel happy and helping them to feel good about who they are.

A walk to the back of the store shows the endless possibilities for framing artwork and memorabilia, while art books and easels allure with the promise of helping us to create something beautiful. Gift ideas abound, from obsidian needle wind chimes to singing bowls and natural stone candle holders.

“We can do a lot towards keeping ourselves healthy in a very natural way. You can create a home that’s healing,” says Audrey Pfannmuller, who opened the red brick gallery in 1976. “Art is an expression of individuality and is self-empowering.

We create something for ourselves every day. Let’s make it full of colour.”

Stop by this Main Street business today to rejuvenate, enjoy the artwork and feel empowered.

Performing Arts Centre faces a funding shortfall

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose will be lobbying the University of Alberta for future fundraising efforts to cover expenses associated with building the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Community Services general manager Ryan Poole told council in an Oct. 19 report that the difference between the centre’s actual costs and the approved funding, including future funding commitments, is $1,442,134.

“There is an approved council motion which indicates that any shortfall in funding will be funded from the municipal tax levy, even though the intent seems to be to have the full capital cost covered by all of the approved funding sources and the tax levy being only the last resort,” wrote Poole.

The net cost of the project of $20,338,791,40 ($160,046 less than the project cost approved by council on June 9, 2014), included the Clark contract of $14,649,461, change orders through Clark of $2,921,872, U of A managed costs of $1,052,242, fit out/ material costs and miscellaneous/legal costs. Total capital revenues of $17,886,869, include $4,800,000 from MSI, a $4,000,000 City debenture, $300,000 in City cash, $750,000 in University of Alberta cash at the start of the project, $1,000,000 from Camrose

County and $2,198,010 in donations.

“The remaining funding to cover the difference was to come through a fundraising campaign,” wrote Poole. “Presently there is a total shortfall of funding of $2,451,922, of which $1,009,788 is expected to be recovered over the next three years through committed pledges.”

Poole noted that the borrowing bylaw approved by council includes an additional $4,250,000 of borrowing capacity specifically for the project beyond the $4,000,000 debenture, and that the service cost annually for an additional debt of $2,451,922 would be approximately $160,000 per year.

Budget deliberations

City council will be reviewing the financial services budget at a Committee of the Whole meeting Nov. 16, the community services budget Nov. 23, the infrastructure and planning services budget Nov. 30, and the Camrose Police Commission, economic development, and corporate and protective services budgets Dec. 2.

Administration’s intent is to present a ten year capital plan and a three year operational budget. Council has historically approved one year budgets. At council’s discretion, the 2016 operating and capital budget could be approved at the regular meeting of council on Dec. 14.

Mirror Lake Centre

Council has approved $60,000 in funding from the general capital reserve for interior renovations to the upper floor of the Mirror Lake Centre. The reserve was specifically set up to fund major nonrecurring costs and had a balance at the end of 2014 of $3,582,398.

Council and administration are currently reviewing the long term needs with respect to the use of

the Mirror Lake Centre for City or non-City purposes.

The renovation work will be done by Align Builders, whose quotation of $53,439 was the lowest of two that were received.

Fire department busy

The Camrose Fire Department responded to nine fire alarm activations, two motor vehicle collisions (one involving a deer), one carbon monoxide alarm activation, a structure fire, grass fire, and a vehicle fire

during the month of September.

The fire department responded to 142 calls in the first nine months of the year, compared to 158 calls after nine months in 2014.

Fire losses to the end of September this year totalled $727,000, compared to $295,300 at the end of September of 2014.

Fire losses in September of 2014 totalled $159,000.

City will feel the impact of provincial budget

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose 2016 budget will face an additional hit now that the NDP government has decided not to restore grants to municipalities in lieu of the taxes on its affordable housing and seniors facilities.

The NDP government had agreed earlier this year to suspend the Progressive Conservatives’ actions to terminate the grants.

The City had been hoping to receive revenue of $158,000.

“We had been told that we would be getting that amount, but the budget makes it clear that we are not,” said Camrose mayor Norm Mayer.

Alberta Urban Municipalities Association president Lisa Holmes said by not providing the grants the government is downloading about $15 million in costs

onto the shoulders of municipalities who are already struggling to address infrastructure deficits as a result of shortfalls in provincial funding.

She added it is disappointing to see the provincial government cut funding for provincial housing when one of Premier Notley’s campaign promises included expanding powers available to municipalities to allow them to mandate affordable housing in new development projects, expanding the supply.

“Our members are so concerned about the impact this could have on Albertans that we have passed a resolution that calls for the province’s financial responsibility to be legislated so the province simply can’t change its mind about commitments it has made – commitments that impact

the well-being and quality of life for thousands of Albertans fall short. There has to be a better option.

Infrastructure funds The City of Camrose is still waiting to see how much of the $14.6 billion promised by the government over the next five years for municipal infrastructure support and roads and bridges ($7.9 billion for municipal infrastructure and $6.7 billion for roads and bridges) will wind up coming its way.

“I don’t know what kind of breakdown they are looking at,” said Mayer.

The City of Camrose would certainly welcome any kind of additional assistance with its roads which, according to a recent report to council, are in urgent need of repair.

“We have not spent adequate money on roads, streets, water and sewer

upgrades and as a result we are receiving a lot of complaints from the residents,” said Mayer.

Waiting too long to do road repairs is costly in that it forces the City to start from scratch and build a whole new base.

“If you worked systematically at it and did the repairs properly you would be able to get a lot more life from them,” said Mayer.

“Our roads study showed that we have to spend at least $3 million a year just to stay level and bring them up with proper refinishing.

We are starting to pay now for the decisions that were made by previous councils to spend money that should have gone to roads on other projects in order to keep the tax levy down. You cannot avoid doing proper maintenance because it will come back to bite you.”

Council has already stated that the increased revenue from franchise fees in 2016 (approximately $800,000) will go directly towards road repair and maintenance.

“The money that we receive will go strictly towards road maintenance,” said Mayer. “It won’t be going to the general operational budget.”

City council expects to be faced with a number of tough decisions when it begins budget deliberations this week.

“We are going to be hard on a lot of costs and are going to be counting on our manager Malcolm Boyd to help us through the process,” said Mayer. “He is used to being in the private sector where you have to watch what you are spending. We want to know that we will be getting best value for our dollar.”

Camrose Branch No. 57 ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Wednesday, November 11, 2015 The Camrose Branch No. 57 of the Royal Canadian Legion is conducting their annual Wreath and Poppy Campaign. The purpose of the Poppy Fund is to provide assistance to ex-service personnel and their families who are in need. However, as the funds raised usually exceed that need, the surplus is used to improve life in the community through donations to local charities, purchase of hospital equipment as well as bursaries to local students that may have need.

The annual Remembrance Day Service will be held at the CRE starting shortly before 11:00 a.m. Members of the general public are asked to attend and please be seated no later than 10:45 am so the veterans may enter, and the service commence, timed so that the two minute silence may be observed at 11:00 a.m.

Come and help remember the participants of both world wars, Korea and Afghanistan as well as those personnel serving on United Nations Peace Keeping duties throughout the world today.

Bringing order to entropy. And other geeky stuff.

Camrose chief of police Darrell Kambeitz received an Order of Merit of the Police Forces from Canada’s Governor General, David Johnston, at Rideau Hall Sept. 18.

Camrose Police Service chief of police Darrell Kambeitz received an Order of Merit of the Police Forces from His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, at an investiture ceremony in Rideau Hall, Ottawa, Sept. 18.

Established in October, 2000, the Order of Merit of Police Forces honours the leadership and exceptional service or distinctive merit displayed by the men and women of the Canadian Police Services, and recognizes their commitment

to this country. The primary focus is on exceptional merit, contributions to policing, and community development. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is the Order’s sovereign. The Governor General is its chancellor and the commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police its principal commander.

Chief Kambeitz was nominated by the Camrose Police Commission. The nomination was reviewed by a provincial committee and then a national body, which deter-

mines the level of recognition.

Chief Kambeitz received the Member level, which recognizes exceptional service or performance of duty over an extended period, usually at the local or regional/provincial level.

The badge of the Order is the same as that of the Order of Military Merit – a blue-enameled, straight-end cross, with an annulus in red, surmounted by St. Edwards’ Crown. The annulus bears the inscription Merit.Merite.

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson How to start a movement

A three-minute Ted talk caught my attention. We’re used to seeing advice and research about how to be a leader. This talk was about the impact that a follower can make.

A video clip showed a shirtless man who started dancing on a beach. A crowd of people were sitting on the side of a hill. A few began to watch him; most did not. As the speaker said, “At this point, he is just a lone nut.”

A few moments later, one person in the crowd got up and joined the dancing man. As the two dancers high-fived and kept dancing, more people started paying attention.

The speaker told us to watch carefully. A third person joined the two dancers. What happened next? A tipping point.

Within seconds after the third dancer appeared, a few more people began to stand up and join the dancers, and then a few more. Very quickly, more than half the people on the hill were moving to join the dancers. Then others followed, to avoid being left behind.

The dancing went from one “lone nut” to something acceptable to a movement.

The speaker reinforced the message. A “leader” may be the first person to suggest or do something.

But a leader cannot make a difference unless someone follows. Without followers, a potential leader is just “a lone nut.”

Better is always possible

The election is over. The Liberals won; the Conser-

vatives lost. Judging from comments by candidates and letters in the press, the Conservatives find this fact very difficult to accept.

Mr. Sorenson, in his acceptance of his seat after a definite win, indicated that he would continue the Conservative campaign of division and fear.

According to Sorenson, we should be concerned about the Liberal plans to invest in needed projects in infrastructure. While we should be concerned about deficits incurred to invest in public works and give a boost to the economy, the $140 billion added to the national debt by Mr. Harper

is ignored! There appears to be something wrong with this story.

The election is over. We need to work together to build a better Canada. Canada is a great nation, but the key to democracy is the belief that better is always possible. So let’s move forward to that better future and not concentrate on divisions and fears of the fiscal situation, refugees and ladies in head scarves.

The rest of Canada voted for change; is Alberta to remain stuck in the past of Conservative divisions and fears?

Ron Williams, Strome

***

In times of transition – such as those we are experiencing right now – we already know most of the strategies that past leaders recommend and followers agree to follow. Past leaders and followers (“we!”) have been incredibly effective at creating exactly the reality we have now.

As a human race, leaders and followers (“we!”) have created realities such as an environment that cannot sustain us for much longer, an economy that benefits fewer and fewer people, and political and military actions that drive millions of people to risk their lives in order to escape from their country.

As a human race, leaders and followers (“we!”) have also created acts of kindness and courage that brought harmony out of hatred, and solutions to seemingly impossible challenges.

Our future could go either way. If what we’ve done has created our current reality and we want to change some of that, we’re almost certainly going to have to experiment with new strategies. We don’t have to be the first ones or the leaders in order to make a difference. I’m encouraged to know that our “follower” actions can make a big difference. But what kinds of possibilities do we follow? ***

I’m reminded of this story (I don’t know its source).

A First Nations Elder was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight between two giant wolves.” He paused.

“One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.”

He paused again.

“This same fight is going on inside you and inside every person.”

The grandchildren were quiet for a minute and then one child asked, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”

The old man replied, “The one you feed.” ***

One more (source unknown) quote I appreciate: “A true chief is not one who can sway people to his point of view, but one in whose presence most people find it easy to access the truth.” *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

ROTARY SUPPORTS OUTDOOR GYM

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak members donated $3,000 toward the Camrose Outdoor Gym for a piece of equipment used to encourage a healthy living lifestyle. The recently opened gym is located in Jubilee Park, across from the playground. Also on hand were members from the Camrose PCN, City of Camrose and the Camrose Healthy Living Coalition.

Friends to honour McDevitt with slo-pitch Tragedy struck on Sunday, October 25, when Jeff McDevitt, father of a young family, respected businessman and dedicated volunteer, passed away at only 34 years of age.

Wanting to help out, a friend and teammate of Jeff, Sara Walkey, set up a GoFundMe account for his wife and three little girls. A couple of days later, Amanda (Jeff’s wife) stopped by Sara’s office to say thank you. It was then that Amanda mentioned that she would love to have a slo-pitch game where Jeff’s friends could get together to honour his memory.

“I was sure that I could get it together, so I just asked her when she wanted it to be and started planning right away,” said Sara.

“First of all, I asked our slo-pitch team (Havoc) who was interested and without hesitation, everyone responded that they wanted to play.”

Knowing that there would be enough people to get a game going, Sara started making calls to get everything set up.

“It has been smooth sailing so far because everyone has wanted to help out (which wasn’t really a big sur-

Jeff McDevitt

prise since Jeff had a lot of friends),” said Sara. “I’m sure everyone would say that he was just the biggest sweetheart. Not only was he a good dad and husband, he was a great friend, teammate and colleague through his work at Windwood Signs.”

The event, titled after a nickname his teammates would call him, “FFEJ” Memorial Slo-Pitch, has already received a lot of help from Windwood Signs, CJ Matthews from CJ’s Sign Shop, Jennifer Davis from Pedersen’s Florists, Michael Wetsch from Grant Thornton, Jane Cherry-Lemire from the Camrose Arts Society, and his slo-pitch team, Havoc.

“The City of Camrose is

letting us use the diamond; I have a photographer coming to take pictures, there will be a balloon release, and there will be a big tent and heater so everyone can keep warm if the weather doesn’t cooperate,” said Sara. “I know other downtown Camrose businesses are interested in helping so there are still a few minor details to be ironed out.”

Updates will be posted on the Facebook event titled “FFEJ Memorial Slo-pitch Game.” The game will be held at Kin 2 on Nov. 8, at 2 p.m., and will go on regardless of the weather.

“The point of the game is just to come together in honour of Jeff while playing one of his favourite games,” said Sara. “And hopefully we can raise some money for the family as well.”

Everyone is welcome to play and spectators are also encouraged to watch and cheer on the teams. Contact Sara at 780-608-5327 for more details.

There has been a GoFundMe account set up at www.gofundme.com/jeff mcdevitt, and a trust account at Scotiabank to help Jeff’s family.

Centra Cam helping clients with work skills

By Dan Jensen

Centra Cam Vocational Training Association started offering service to six new individuals in 201415, bringing the number of clients who are currently in programs to 85.

Thirty-two clients are involved in the workability department (which focuses on building job skills and attitudes), 31 in the employment department and 36 in job retention.

“Seventy per cent of the clients funded specifically for employment are employed and working,” said a program report presented at Centra Cam’s annual general meeting Sept. 16. “We have 37 clients in regular employment and 30 clients participating in odd jobs.”

Nine individuals who are involved with regular paid employment receive job coaching support to various degrees.

Twenty-five individuals have secure employment and are only require minimal on the job support given by employment supervisors.

Centra Cam’s Community Options Volunteer Experiences (COVE) clients participate in 15 regular placements in the community that include working with seniors, children, the

performing arts centre and the City police.

Workability clients participate in approximately 20 regular placements, including bingo with seniors, cleaning churches, food bank pickups, dishwashing at the children’s centre, helping out at the train station, and running the hot lunch program at Centra Cam. Clients volunteer at 30 regular placements, plus numerous seasonal volunteer opportunities.

“These placements are utilized for socialization, pre-training and the development of employability

skills within the community,” said the report.

Centra Cam isn’t entirely sure at this time whether there will be changes to the disability services contract with the change in the provincial government.

Centra Cam Vocational Training Association executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg said the association is all about finding work for employees and getting them to work where they do the best job they can.

“What really is more important in the world than being with friends and people who care about you, wel-

come you unconditionally and who make you laugh?

If you learn some new skills or maintain your old skills along the way, well that is just a bonus. Being in a place where you are cared about, your feelings are recognized and validated, and where you feel safe to express yourself is one of the greatest feelings in the world.”

Centra Cam has restructured the programming staff body with the hiring of a new coordinator for the Emergency Clothing Depot and will be doing more restructuring over the next few months.

The association currently has 88 staff working between its five locations.

Work at the recycling department this year has included repairs to the forklift, pallet jacks and banding machines, and the installation of video cameras to monitor outside activities.

Centra Cam was able to increase its visibility in the community in 2014-15 by operating food booths at summer events, participating in the Festival of Trees and Trade Show, and hosting a Coats for Camrose.

“We want to be involved in our community and contribute the best we can,”

stated the public relations department. “We are always looking for volunteer opportunities and ways to help out.”

Centra Cam fundraising activities include a golf tournament sponsored by the Co-operators, the annual bowl-a-thon and the sale of grocery cards, fudge, pies, baking, lefse, raffle tickets and rubber ducks.

Centra Cam was able to repair construction deficits that had shown up at the main facility.

“We had the exterior of the building re-insulated, windows and doors sealed properly, and now we are replacing the faulty stucco,” said a report from the building premise and transportation committee.

“We repaired all the interior damage that was done when the roof, windows and wall seams leaked.”

Skjonsberg is pleased with the empathy shown throughout the organization.

“People, especially the individuals we serve, know when something is wrong. They ask about the well-being of their coworkers, friends and staff.

Sometimes you don’t get asked,you get told ‘you need a hug’ and you get a good one.”

Author to read from his book at Augustana

By Dan Jensen

Author Dave Olesen will be reading from his book Kinds of Winter: Four Solo Journeys by Dogteam in Canada’s Northwest (Wilfred Laurier Press, 2014) tonight in the Roger Epp Conference Room of the Augustana Campus.

The reading will start at 7 p.m.

Kinds of Winter is a narrative that ranges from the personal and poignant musings of a dogsled driver (Olesen himself) to loftier planes of introspection and contemplation. Although it describes Olesen’s journeys day by day, it is not merely an account of his travels, nor yet just another offering in the genre of wide-eyed southerner meets the arctic.

Olesen grew up in small-town Illinois. He has

a B.A. in Humanities and Northern Studies. A veteran dog musher, he finished the daunting Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race eight times, then turned his focus away from competition and set out to fulfill a lifelong dream. Over the course of four successive winters, he steered his dogs and sled on long trips away from his remote Northwest Territories homestead, setting out in turn to the four cardinal compass points–south, east, north and west–and home again to Hoarfrost River.

“Olesen is a firmly rooted northerner, having lived and travelled in the boreal outback for over 30 years,” said Wilfred Laurier Press in a book description.

“Olesen’s life story colours his writing: educated immi-

grant, husband and father, professional dog musher, working bush pilot, and denizen of log cabins far off the grid. He and his dogs feel at home in country lying miles back of beyond.”

The book demolishes many of the cliches that inbue writings about bush life, the Far North and dogsledding.

“It is a unique blend of armchair adventure, personal memoir and thoughtful down-to-earth reflection,” says Wilfred Laurier Press.

Kinds of Winter: Four Solo Journeys by Dogteam in Canada’s Northwest has received many favourable reviews. Dick Dorworth, from Mountain Gazette, said Olesen’s four midwinter dogsled journeys project struck him as a wonderful-

ly sane choice of place- and self-exploration, reminding him of how Thoreau walked many days across thickets and swamps, exploring his home place.

“What a vast place Dave lives in,” said Dorworth. “And what mindful and sympathetic attention it took to pack and plan for not just himself but a whole team of tough and dedicated dogs. I understand why he did it, but the details of how is an education in itself. The book’s back matter on winter camping and on the care of dogs alone is worth it. The relaxed but steady frame of mind in which he packed and travelled is the key. I salute this man for his passion and his family for giving him space to explore it.”

Gary Snyder, poet and

professor of English, UC Davis, said Olesen’s book is a crisp account of a world now gone in urban Canada, where animals worked as hard as their owners.

Holly Doan, Blacklock’s Reporter, said Kinds of Winter is a chronicle of the beauty, the lore, the why and the dog sled adventure of travelling across barren lands.

“It is written by a master of winter travel by dogteam,” said Doan. “To anyone who loves the north or has a curiosity about living in the cold, this is a mustread.”

Kinds of Winter received the 2015 NorthWords Prize.

Olesen and members of his family have hosted several groups of Augustana students over the years at their homestead.

Hockey, country music go together for many Canadians

By Murray Green The Camrose Kodiaks are combining hockey with country music, a winning recipe that was familiar to fans every Saturday night for many years.

The Kodiaks host the Brooks Bandits on Friday, Nov. 6 in a rare Friday afternoon home game at 3 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. Hockey and music fans will then move over to the Community Centre for the Jordan McIntosh and Brett Kissel concert.

Kissel is an Alberta performer who has graced the stage of the Big Valley Jamboree in the past.

Opening for him is hockey’s version of the rookie of the year, Rising Star award winner at the 2014 Canadian Country Music Awards, Jordan McIntosh.

“The award was the first step in a validation from your peers that they are seeing what you are doing and accepting what you are doing,” said McIntosh. “I’m proud of it and honoured too. Most of the awards are voted on by people in the music industry, so it is an honour. It makes you feel that what you are doing is right.”

The rising star was pumped when he found out that people in Camrose were going to a hockey game and then the concert.

“It sounds Canadian. It will be the first time for me to perform after people have watched a hockey game.”

Hockey and country music was a tradition with which his father or grandfather might have been familiar. Back in the CBC days, Saturday night hockey was followed by The Tommy Hunter Show.

“I like to perform the newer country style with more energy. Music is always changing and I’m a fan of the Sam Hunt style and that is the direction I want to take. It’s not too heavy, but it is fun. I think it is good that country music is opening up to different styles of music that fits under country music.

I don’t think it is a bad thing.”

Kissel and McIntosh are currently on the Airwaves Tour 2015 together.

McIntosh was one of six finalists in the 2014 CCMA Discovery Program. The tour will be stop in Camrose for a concert on Nov. 6.

“It means a lot to tour with Brett. We first met on a previous tour after I just signed with an agency.

Over the last few years we have become friends,” he shared. “Now on this tour

CONCRETE From removal to replacement, we offer a complete range of concrete and skidsteer services.

Jordan McIntosh hopes this is first of many trips to Camrose.

I’m performing with one of my best friends. It is pretty exciting for me.”

McIntosh has toured with Emerson Drive, Kissel and George Canyon in the past. His country rock style is similar to Sam Hunt and Hunter Hayes. Hunt just agreed to play this summer at BVJ. “One thing that drew me to country music was what the songs are about.

They always tell a story that means something to the artist,” said McIntosh.

“I still love that part of country music today.”

McIntosh’s first single from his upcoming 2016 debut album is, “Grew Up In A Country Song,” which is about his own experiences growing up in the rural community of Carleton Place.

“In country music every song tells a different story and I wanted to write something that paid respect to where I’m from. I love the song writing process,” said McIntosh.

He lists Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Canyon and country pop icons Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift as his favourites.

They all have one thing in common: Camrose.

“My dad always had the country station on and I grew up listening to Brooks and Dunn, Reba, Garth Brooks and Dwight Yoakam. They have all played at the Big Valley Jamboree, so that is one of my goals,” said

McIntosh, who continues to earn respect in the music industry.

“I take different things from a lot of different artists. I learn something from one, another thing from someone else, and take any inspiration I can from them,” he added.

“My entire family is musical, but I idolized my sister, Melissa. She started to sing before I did and, being younger, I wanted to do everything she did.

That’s how I found out I could sing.”

He won his first vocal competition in elementary school and continued to hone his skills performing at a variety of talent and singing contests across North America. He won Walt Disney World’s American Idol Experience three times.

He appeared in the CMT video “Home for Christmas” alongside Canyon, Aaron Pritchett and One More Girl.

The 19-year-old has a voice and a depth of emotional range well beyond his years. He’s a natural born performer with stage presence to spare.

“I’m really excited to perform in Camrose and hope it leads to an invitation to BVJ. We have been in talks and I cross my fingers it all works out,” McIntosh added. “I want to expand my music base in western Canada and this tour with Brett is helping me to reach more fans.”

Remembrance Day honours those who served

By Murray Green

The Remembrance Day service beginning at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11 at Camrose Regional Exhibition will not only honour those who gave their lives, but also those who continue to live with the horrors of war.

The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will lead the Remembrance Day ceremony. Members ask that people be seated by 10:45 a.m. so they can be prepared to start on time because of the observing of two minutes of silence at 11 a.m.

Legion members and cadets from South Alberta

Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps and Air Cadets in Camrose will be participating in the service.

The CCHS band will be providing the music, and community groups, such as the cubs and scouts, will join the parade march led by veterans.

It is easy to honour those who gave their lives so we could enjoy freedom. It is much harder to help those who return scarred from what they saw or did in war situations.

Guest speaker Venerable Jacques Vaillancourt, Archdeacon for Rural Ministry at the St. Andrew’s Church in Camrose, served in the military.

“I was a military chaplain for 20 years and then retired from service. My last posting was in Wainwright and then my wife and I wanted to have roots in a community and serve at a church. The Bishop said several churches were open and one of them was in Camrose. We had often stopped here for shopping and it felt like home right from the first visit,” said Vaillan-

court, who moved to Cam-

rose five years ago after a very nomadic period.

“We moved every three years and it was tough on the family and our daughter. We had some bad times, but there were good times as well. We would never have come to Alberta if I wasn’t posted here,” he said.

Vaillancourt was born in Havana, Cuba and his father was French Canadian and a Second World war navy veteran. He grew up in Argentina and Ottawa and followed his father’s footsteps into serving in the military.

“I was about to accept another parish from the bishop of Ottawa and he said the military is looking for chaplains and they needed an Anglican chaplain. Someone said I should and that it would be fun. I forgot to ask him what his definition of fun was,” he laughed. “I said to my wife, let’s try something different. Since my father served for about 12 years with the navy during the Second World War, I won’t say it was in the blood, but there was some family association with the military.”

He was off to a Canadian Armed Forces base in Manitoba in his first posting back in 1990.

“Then I was deployed to Cypress in my first overseas duty. Back then Canada was seen as a peacekeeping nation. By the time I went pretty much of the conflict had passed, but there was still tension between parts of the island.”

He also served in Afghanistan.

“That was a whole different reality,” he said.

“We were no longer peacekeeping, we were in a war situation. There was always fighting and I lost a good friend there when a bomb exploded under his vehicle.”

He saw his role as a chaplain change. Instead of providing regular church service, he was called upon to console soldiers on what they had just done or witnessed.

“When you are sleeping in the mud with solders, you are also witnessing the hardships first hand. The only difference from soldiers is that chaplains don’t carry weapons.

Chaplains were, and are to this day, a 911 service, a trusted agent for the common soldier,” said Vaillancourt. “If soldiers thought they were not being treated fairly they would come to me. Padres, as they were called, had a direct link to the chain of command.”

The guest speaker will talk about post traumatic

stress disorder (PTSD) and

how war affects soldiers for the rest of their lives.

At the end of the First World War it was called shell-shock. Military leaders called it cowardness and lack of character. The military had a hard time with struggling between the difference in cowardness and PTSD. They understood a missing leg or arm, but not the reaction to what soldiers had just done or saw.

“What were not understood were the wounds of the emotional heart or mind.

When I was in Bosnia, and certainly in Afghanistan, we (as chaplains) began to see more and more cases of soldiers who had done their duty bravely and with integrity, but went home tormented. With PTSD, it doesn’t always show up immediately. It is like cancer where it manifests and grows.”

The attitude towards PTSD is changing slowly, but the nightmares of reliving those experiences aren’t going away. A full recovery is the minority.

“The war in Bosnia and Afghanistan is not over yet.

The conflict may be finished with our part, but our soldiers are still living with the trauma war brings,” said Vaillancourt. “The war is unfinished for them. They suffer every day. We need to care for our soldiers by remembering and looking after them because they went over for Canada.”

He said he would serve the military again if he had to do it over again.

“I wouldn’t call it fun; it was an adventure.”

The reason we remember Leaving their friends and families behind, they traveled far from home to defend the concepts of peace and justice. They were killed on the battlefield, or returned home with their bodies and spirits injured forever. More than 1,500,000 Canadians – our brothers, sons and fathers – sacrificed a huge part of their lives to serve in various conflicts overseas. It is in their honour that Canada observes Remembrance Day on Nov. 11 each year.

Anyone who has ever lived through war can easily understand the importance of honouring such an important day. But many younger people wonder why we focus on such a sad period of history. Why should we continue to think about wars that took place long ago? Why honour men and women who are nothing more than faceless ghosts?

On Nov. 11, grandparents will sit down with their grandchildren, teachers will ask students to open their history books, and war veterans will emerge from the shadows. They will all take

the time to educate our younger generation about the horrors of the various wars in which Canadians have fought. They will give faces and names to those who bravely sacrificed their

lives – as well as to those who currently risk their lives in various peace missions around the world – so that we will never forget.

Remembering our history is a way of helping our

youth understand the present and make better decisions for the future. By knowing their history, future generations will understand their responsibilities and be encouraged to work toward

a just world. It will also help them better appreciate the value of life and be grateful for the fact that we live in a peaceful nation. By remembering history, we honour the past as we build our future.

Schlosser remembers war in classical music concert

By Murray Green World famous classical pianist Milton Schlosser will be remembering past wars through music during his concert at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 8 at 2 p.m.

“This year we purposely wanted to work with the Lougheed Centre so we have a united approach to presenting classical concerts in Camrose,” said Schlosser.

“Every year at Augustana I bring in a couple of guest artists. Acting manager Nick Beach was interested in working with us because we have a limited budget.

We were able to expand our offerings by linking up with the Lougheed Centre, so it became a win-win situation.”

University of Alberta Augustana Campus faculty member Schlosser will perform a recital in the Cargill Theatre titled “Remembering.” It is part of the Classical Series coproduced by the Lougheed Centre and DiscoverPiano@Augustana.

“I’ve performed a recital every year for the past three decades; this is my 30th year. The point of me performing on campus is to provide a model to my students. It showcases my research and it helps to mentor students – show where they are and where they can be at,” explained Schlosser. “I enjoy playing for students and it showcases music for future students. It is one of the ways to create profiles of our programs.”

Schlosser’s concert features three piano works related thematically to Remembrance Day. One of these works is a new composition that helps to mark the 70th anniversary of the killing of famous German Resistance member Dietrich Bonhoeffer by the Nazis at the end of the Second World War. “Remembrance Day is an interesting day in Canada because the major wars were not fought on Canadian soil. One of the most moving experiences for me was visiting Vimy Ridge. I was totally moved that this part of France was given to Canada as a gift as a commemoration for the sacrifices Canadians made for them,” he said. “Other countries still celebrate what Canadians did to this day.”

The recital begins with Schlosser performing Fryderyk Chopin’s dramatic Second Piano Sonata, nicknamed the “funeral march”

Milton Schlosser remembers veterans through his music.

sonata because of the famous funeral march melody that appears in one of its movements. This melody was written by Chopin and has been played at funerals of famous personalities such as John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Chopin himself.

Maurice Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin was written during the First World War. While the work’s six movements are based on types of pieces made famous during the French Baroque, Ravel’s musical language is decidedly 20th-century, including among other elements jazz harmonies and virtuoso piano writing. Ravel, who served in the French army, dedicated the works to specific friends killed during the war.

“It has happy moments and is not anything that you expect on a sad occasion. There is joy attached to the grieving process,” he said.

A celebratory, energetic work, it was criticized at first for not being sombre enough in its commemoration of the dead. Ravel countered this criticism by saying “The dead are sad enough, in their eternal silence.”

A new work for “speaking pianist” will be premiered at this recital.

Entitled “Who Am I?” the composition by Schlosser himself is based on a poem written by famous German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and Nazidissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Bonhoeffer was a vocal opponent of the

Nazi dictatorship and its euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of Jews. Implicated as part of the German Resistance after a failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler, Bonhoeffer was hanged in Flossenbürg Concentration Camp on April 9, 1945.

“He is remembered for being positive and generous, but spoke out against the persecution of Jews. In prison, he wrote the poem about himself. It is an interest of mine to know more about what people thought while they were prison. It is a view of someone who is thought of as a hero, but that world is so fragile so it is a moving poem,” said Schlosser. “I combine a variety of music styles in the concert. This brings together my experiences over the last three decades and where I started out playing piano at a Lutheran church.”

Schlosser said playing in front of his friends and students is rewarding, but he is a little nervous.

“My students are there and you realize they are watching your every move.

I love the sight lines at the LPAC because every seat has a good view of the artist. The sound is ideal for pianists.”

Tickets are available from the Lougheed Centre box office. As part of the recital’s intent to highlight themes related to Remembrance Day, an art exhibition by Camrose visual artist Keith Harder will be available for viewing in the lobby of the LPAC as well.

Harder displays war art in tandem with concert at LPAC

By Murray Green

University of Alberta Augustana Campus department of fine arts and humanities artist Keith Harder will be displaying his war time pieces in tandem with Milton Schlosser’s concert on Remembering at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Harder will have an exhibition of art in the Christenson-Nelson Gallery of the LPAC. This exhibition is titled “Dereliction of Memory” and it will consist of digital prints and drawings that were inspired by the ruins of Second World War era aircraft at the Bomber Command Museum’s boneyard in Nanton.

These aircraft were used by the British air training program that prepared air crew personnel for the conflict in Europe and other parts of the world. The exhibition can be viewed from Nov. 6 to 24.

Sharon and Bram concert

By Murray Green

Local families can enjoy a classic show when Sharon and Bram visit Camrose to perform a concert at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 2 p.m.

Children can (and I bet more than a few adults) singalong and dance in the aisles to performers who are icons in children’s entertainment.

The show will feature favourites as “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” and everyone’s favourite “Skinnamarink.”

“We love singing with our audiences with the sound of families singing together and the expressions of delight on the faces of parents and children as they share the music, bring us deep satisfaction,” said Sharon and Bram.

Sharon and Bram, with Lois, have supported many social welfare programmes in Canada and the US, such as school breakfasts for learning, encouraging parents to inoculate their children and, internationally, as Goodwill Ambassadors for UNICEF in North and South America, for which they received the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award.

Since 1978, Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison have been pre-eminent in all aspects of family entertainment across North America as members of the trio “Sharon, Lois and Bram”. Together, the threesome produced over 20 recordings, beginning with their iconic ‘One Elephant, Deux Elephants’, three songbooks, six national television specials, 65 episodes of The Elephant Show, and 52 of Skinnamarink TV. They have received countless awards, including gold and platinum records and Juno awards for Best Children’s Album. To date, they have sold over 3 million albums worldwide.

Tickets for Sharon and Bram are available at the Lougheed Performing Arts Centre website at www.camroselive.ca or call the box office at 780-608-2922.

Ken Drever celebrated as a true community builder

By Diane Hutchinson Jackson

The Battle River Community Foundation is marking 20 years of serving the local area in 2015. And Ken Drever has been part of that support for every single year since 1995.

Born in Hardisty in 1929, Ken Drever has been a bulk oil agent and farmer for all of his adult life. He’s also been a long time participant in community life, as a businessman, a volunteer, a donor and a family man.

The Battle River Community Foundation, and all of east central Alberta, joined together to celebrate Ken Drever’s many contributions at the Battle River Community Foundation’s Community Builder’s Dinner in Camrose on Oct. 23.

The event, held at the Norsemen Inn with a sellout crowd of 400 in attendance, combined fellowship, celebration and fundraising into a feel-good evening that brought both laughter and tears, while earning almost $75,000 for the Ken and Iris Drever Fund of the Battle River Community Foundation.

BRCF board chair Blain Fowler kicked off the evening by sharing a bit of the Foundation’s history and growth over the last 20 years.

“A decision made 20 years ago to save for the future is beginning to pay huge dividends,” Fowler told the audience.

“The Foundation,” he said, “is the result of the collective efforts of literally thousands of people. While we receive major contributions from time to time, our strength is based on hundreds of modest gifts received through thoughtful individuals, just like you, who wish to give something back to a community that has been good to them.”

“From humble beginnings 20 years ago, the Foundation’s endowment has been allowed to build and accumulate until it has now blossomed into a nest egg worth $11.2 million.”

“We grow our assets through the creation of new endowment funds, contributions to existing funds (as we are doing here tonight) and earnings on investments. Just last year alone, we gratefully received donations totaling $919,000 from 920 unique donors.”

“On the granting side,” Fowler added, “we are proud to say that $680,000 was granted in our 2014 cycle and, since we started, over $3.2 million has been delivered to worthwhile projects and initiatives in the communities we serve.”

“But,” he concluded, “we are not done and we never will be. There will always

be needs and it is up to us to ensure that our Foundation will always be there to meet them.”

Auctioneer Doug Johnson didn’t have to work very hard to convince those in the room to support the Foundation’s ongoing efforts. He was able to bring in nearly $30,000 through the sale of homemade items such as cupcakes, cinnamon buns and pie baked

by Ken Drever’s family and friends; auctioning items such as Ken’s “gently used” cowboy hat, a unique metal sculpture created by Vern Spady and a thread painting portrait created by Vivianne Grue.

An additional $25,000 was raised through $100 sponsorships in support of the donation of beef by local cattlemen Dave and Ken Solverson to local food banks.

Tributes to Ken were made by David Stolee, Larry Werner and John Timinski, as well as the five Drever children.

Mr. Stolee, who was an early BRCF board member and later became the organization’s first executive director, spoke of Ken as being humble, authentic, quiet, unassuming, generous and “relentless” in making sure the BRCF maintains a strong focus on the “east country” it serves.

He recalled that Ken donated the money to create the very first BRCF fund and said the night’s celebrated honoree was a man who could always be counted on, adding that “everyone from Wetaskiwin to Saskatchewan knows Ken Drever.”

Larry Werner, who worked with Ken during the 15 years Ken served on the board of the Camrose Regional Exhibition, also spoke of Ken’s trustworthiness, saying “his handshake was as good as a contract.” Mr. Werner (who actually spent the evening home with the flu and had his comments read by

By Reesor) said Mr. Drever was part of the CRE board when BVJ came to town and “provided the foundation for what the CRE is today.”

John Timinksi, a longtime friend, echoed others’ comments about Ken’s work ethic, his willingness to do what it takes, his generous spirit and his unending support of the local area.

“Ken,” he said, “is a true architect of our community.”

Ken Drever’s five children also took to the microphone in praise of their father.

Daughter Lynn Fixsen spoke of the strong, positive role modelling their Dad, and their late mother Iris, provided.

“One of the things I admire most about Dad Is the way he treated Mom,” Lynn said. “I can honestly say I never heard him say an unkind thing to her or about her. I have heard it said that the best thing you can do for your children is to love your spouse,” she added. “Because of that, we had a very stable and secure home life.”

Lynn acknowledged her father’s dedication to supporting and caring for Iris when she became ill. Her moving tribute had Ken, and many others, reaching for tissue.

But Lynn also spoke about her father’s thriftiness, mentioning that on a recent visit to his home she had noted the flimsy toilet paper in his bathroom.

“I told him, ‘Dad, I think you can afford twoply’ and he protested that he’d bought it by accident, but had to use it up before he could get something better.”

Daughter Victoria Cullum reminisced about how she and her husband Cliff came to join the Drever family farming business near Hardisty and the wonderful opportunities it has provided them over the last 38 years.

Ken listens to a rousing version of “Happy Birthday” from the audience, in acknowledgement of turning 86 on Oct. 29.

She expressed appreciation for her father’s patience, wisdom and understanding, as well as his ability to help people get ahead and pursue their dreams.

Son Cliff, who now oversees the Petro Can bulk oil business formerly owned by his Dad, shared some of Ken’s secrets to business success, including Ken’s belief that the customer is always number one and should be treated with respect. Another secret, according to Cliff, is Ken’s belief that you should also treat competitors and other businesses well and give them a hand when you can, because ‘strong businesses make strong communities’.

Cliff spoke of his Dad as having a strong work ethic, always being willing to pitch in (even to the extent of still checking in at the office every day) and serving as an excellent role model, but never telling someone what to do.

“He will listen to you just long enough that you can figure it out for yourself,” Cliff explained.

Son Dale, who also

works in the family’s farming business, said he believes agriculture to be his father’s real passion.

“He loves coming to the farm and being part of the work.”

Dale got the best laugh of the night when he told a tale of how he became involved in the farming operation. He recounted how convenient it was to have both the bulk oil business and the farm, because whenever something like a truck or piece of equipment didn’t work quite right Ken would say it could be sent out to the farm.

“And then one day,” Dale explained, “Dad said to me ‘Dale, I think you should go out to the farm’.”

All joking aside, the Drever children say they come from a strong family and maintain a tight bond. Daughter Judy Larson wrapped up the family’s comments by speaking to her father’s belief in the importance of supporting each other and supporting local communities.

“Dad has always led by example,” she said.

“He worked hard in many community organizations to serve the people of the greater Camrose and Flagstaff areas.”

“Thank you, Dad, for your part in providing communities we are privileged to work, play and bring up our families in. You have set a great example for us to follow.”

Ken Drever himself had the evening’s last opportunity to speak. In doing so, he showed himself to be exactly the humble and generous person he was said to be, by expressing his firm support for the work of the Foundation, acknowledging the organizers of the dinner for their hard work and thanking everyone who made time to attend, for their part in making the evening a success.

Big Band sound comes to Bailey

By Murray Green

The Battle River Big Band is composed of musical members from central Alberta who are connected by the water system in some way.

The band will be holding a concert at the Bailey Theatre with support of the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m.

All of the performers take their art seriously, having many years of experience with a variety of musical organizations, including concert bands, professional dance orchestras, musical theatre and symphonies.

The Second World War years produced a legacy of bands, singers and songs.

Artists such as Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Ray Anthony, Woody Herman and many others filled the air waves and the dance halls with infectious tunes and rhythms, all of which helped to pass away the long hours of the families, friends and lovers who waited anxiously for news of the war’s progress.

Battle River Big Band tributes those big dance orchestras and the joyous or heartbreaking memories left in that time period.

The band returns for a Christmas dinner and show on Friday, Dec. 18, at 6:30 p.m.

After a buffet dinner, enjoy an evening of music featuring the Battle River Big Band. They will perform some more of those all favourites, as well as mix in the familiar holiday tunes.

Tickets for both events are available at the Bailey Box Office, or online.

Police resuscitate unconscious man On Sept. 29, the Camrose Police received two complaints from west end businesses regarding a female who was stealing merchandise. The first business reported a theft valued at $1,158, which included a laptop and iPad. The second business reported a theft of merchandise valued at $680.

The investigation identified a 32-year-old woman from the Ermineskin First Nation as being responsible.

Police were called to a west end hotel for a call of an unconscious male who was not breathing. Police initiated chest compressions on the male and he eventually began to breathe.

EMS attended and continued treatment on the male and later transported him to St. Mary’s Hospital for further examination.

1955 - 2015

Arrangements by Serenity Funeral Services, Edmonton, AB

Bob was born on February 27, 1955 in Camrose, AB. His childhood wasn’t easy in those days. He was raised by his widowed mother and, at times, things were tough, but that did not stop him from pursuing his love of hockey and other competitive sports, at which he excelled. At the age of 16, Bob started his truck-driving career working for Hi-Way 13.

Along the way, he met and married Kathy, and together they had two children, Jeff and Alysia. In 1986, Bob moved his family to Edmonton. During the next 28 years, Bob continued to play hockey and baseball, and coached his children’s teams in both sports. Bob then discovered a passion for golf, and found it hard to find time for all the other things he loved, like camping, playing crib, spending time with friends and, of course, traveling to Vegas.

But of all the things Bob enjoyed, his greatest love was his seven grandchildren. They filled his heart with love and he treasured every moment with them.

Bob is survived by his wife Kathy; son Jeff (Jolene) and their children Tye, Mylia and Falynn; his daughter Alysia (Michael) Morris and their children Lincoln and Mason; and Kathy’s son Jason (Samantha) King and their children Lexus and Sebastian.

Bob was predeceased by his father George Reinhardt; and his mother Irene Flanagan.

Your support and words of kindness are greatly appreciated during this difficult time.

Rev. Dr. George Oliver Evenson March 30, 1911 – October 24, 2015 Rev. Dr. George Evenson of Camrose, AB passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2015 at the age of 104 years.

George Oliver Evenson, eldest child of Edward and Bertha Evenson, was born March 30, 1911 at Lake Preston, South Dakota. His pastor/grandfather, Gulbrand Evenson, officiated at his baptism on May 21, 1911. In 1913, his parents moved to a farm near Sinai, South Dakota.

He was confirmed in Sinai Lutheran Church on April 19, 1925. He graduated from Sinai High School in the spring of 1928.

That fall, he enrolled at Augustana College, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. There he went through a spiritual crisis which clarified for him the place of Christ in his life. After one year of college, he taught public school for two years. He returned to Augustana and graduated in May 1934. That fall, he entered Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota, from which he graduated on May 30, 1938. The same day, he married Ruth Marguerite Pederson. He accepted a call to Moose Jaw, SK, was ordained in Sinai on June 19, and entered Canada on July 1, 1938. Eventually, he became a Canadian citizen.

He was instrumental in the re-opening of Outlook Lutheran College as a Bible school in 1939. From 1940 to 1951, he served this school (now known as the Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute, LCBI) as President, Business Manager, Teacher and Choir Director.

This was followed by pastoral service at Central Lutheran, Edmonton 1951 to 1954, a brief Presidency at Camrose Lutheran College, 1955 to 1956, and a Professorship (1957 to 1974) at Luther Theological Seminary, Saskatoon. He returned to pastoral ministry at Mount Olivet Lutheran, Sherwood Park, from 1974 to 1980.

For five years, after his retirement in 1980, he taught part time at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute (CLBI), Camrose.

Throughout his active ministry, he was involved in wider church affairs, as a member of various synodical, national church and inter-synodical committees, boards and commissions. On a sabbatical leave in 1965, he taught for a month at the Lutheran Seminary in Madagascar, and engaged in post-graduate study at the University of Manchester, England. He authored published histories of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCC), LCBI and CLBI. He frequently contributed articles to church and theological journals. In 1982, he was sent by the ELCC to be guest lecturer at two missionary retreats in Papua, New Guinea.

George was pre-deceased by his beloved wife, Marguerite on March 29, 1987; and by five sisters and two brothers. He leaves to mourn two sons Leonard (Jacqueline) and Thomas; and one daughter Lois (Terry) Tomtene. George is also survived his seven grandchildren Steven (Jeannette) Tomtene, Susan (Dan) Slind, Kristy (Dwayne) Rhead, Linda (Michael) Sandilands, Trevor Evenson, Michelle (Brad) Koshka and Marcel Evenson; 11 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Throughout his life, he lived by his motto: “Live dependent on God; live simply; live to serve.”

A Funeral Service was held in Messiah Lutheran Church (4810-50 Street, Camrose) at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2015 with Bishop Larry Kochendorfer and Diaconal minister Bev Swanson officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Local volunteers keep train chugging

By Laurel Nadon

Seeing smiles on the faces of passengers from two up to 92-years-old is what Tom Chelmick enjoys the most about running the Mirror Lake Express train.

The train, which makes weekly trips around Mirror Lake on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the summer for a small fee, wrapped up rides the last weekend in August and is now in storage for the winter.

Chelmick spends about 600 hours a year keeping the train operational. As director in charge of operations and maintenance for about the last four years, his tasks include painting, oil changes, electrical work, replacing tires, training engineers and conductors, as well as filling those roles himself as needed.

“I have not ever had a person get off the train and say they didn’t like it. One lady said, ‘There’s going to be lots of kids dreaming about trains tonight,’” Chelmick chuckled. “I don’t think there’s a prettier ride than going around Mirror Lake. Kids love coming up and blowing the whistle and ringing the bell.”

Chelmick is a retired retailer, after working as a Zellers district manager and then as the Walmart store

Laurel Nadon Photo Tom Chelmick spends 600 hours a year volunteering with the Mirror Lake Express train. The train, which makes weekly trips around Mirror Lake on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the summer, is now packed up for the winter.

manager. He said that in his new role, he enjoys seeing the joy that riding the train brings to people, and that he has many repeat passengers, including Danielle Chapman and her family.

Chapman, her three-yearold son, Drake, and often her husband, have enjoyed riding the train two times a week for the past two summers. Her mother is also a train volunteer.

“My son loves trains. We go down to the park, get ice cream and it’s a really nice evening out,” Chapman said.

“I think it’s good for the community. You can meet other parents with kids the same age and it’s good to get outside and get fresh air.”

The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce owns the train, which was built by Jeppa Danielson in the 1980s.

“It’s the pride of making sure everything is working properly and it’s up to the standards that Jeppa left it in or better,” Chelmick said, noting that Jeppa passed away almost three years ago. “He was very proud.

He would come down two or three times per year and ride on it and was so proud that his train represented Camrose.”

Chelmick said that he’s never seen a train exactly like this one. One unique feature is how the train can turn in tight spaces. At 93-feet in length, it has a six foot turning radius. Another interesting feature is the eyes on the engine face. When the engineer turns the wheels, the eyes also turn the way the train is going.

Twelve people are trained as engineers and there is also a volunteer who bikes ahead of the train to

make sure people are aware it is coming. The engineers face where the train is going while the conductor faces the passengers and is able to direct the engineer to stop if needed. Wallets, keys and hats have all fallen off the train in the past.

Sharon Anderson, executive director of the Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce, said the train wouldn’t run without volunteers.

“We’d never be able to afford to pay all of those people. It is people who have a passion for the train,” Anderson said. “It’s become really well-known. It’s an attraction in itself. It’s a treat for families to come and ride the train.”

She noted that families from Edmonton regularly come to ride the train.

Approximately 4,500 passengers take the 12 to 14 minute train ride during the weekly rides around Mirror Lake as well as during the local Canada Day festivities.

Another 1,500 passengers ride the train each summer at out of town events. This summer, the train attended events in St. Albert, Amisk, Daysland, Leduc, Ponoka, Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, Hannah, Morin as well as the Big Valley Jamboree parade in Camrose.

November designated as Family Violence Prevention Month In a demonstration of solidarity, Mayor Norm Mayer and Reeve Don Gregorwich jointly proclaimed November 2015 to be Family Violence Prevention Month in the City of Camrose and Camrose County. The proclamation calls upon citizens to speak out against family violence, to be a voice for those who are silenced and to make a difference by creating a culture of support for those affected.

The signing of the declaration was witnessed by representatives of the 12-member Family Violence Response Council, an interagency collaborative group that works year-round to address the issue of family violence.

During November, community partners will be displaying single red roses in memory of women, children and men who have died as victims of domestic violence.

Local school and community libraries will have displays of information on healthy relationships, family violence and supports available in the community.

Alberta consistently has one of the highest rates of family violence among all provinces in Canada, along with one of the highest levels of family violence-related suicide and homicide. Every hour of every day, a woman in Alberta will undergo some form of interpersonal violence from an ex-partner or exspouse.

Watching County Reeve Don Gregorwich and City Mayor Norm Mayer proclaim November as Family Violence Prevention Month in the Camrose County and the City of Camrose were, left to right, Colleen McKinstry, clinical director, Camrose PCN, Family Violence Action Society program director Sheralyn Dobos, Camrose Women’s Shelter family support coordinator Melissa Faucher, AHS school heath promotion facilitator Carol Breitkreutz, CDSS executive director Margaret Holliston and Camrose Police Service constable Mike Kuster.

Chronic exposure to spousal abuse is considered a form of child abuse under Alberta law. This reflects a considerable body of research that shows the brain development of children, infants, and unborn babies is negatively impacted by exposure to the

trauma of domestic abuse, whether or not that abuse is directed toward the child.

Statistics Canada estimates that between three and five children in every Canadian classroom have been exposed to such abuse. These children often find it difficult to

achieve success in school and in their social relationships.

They are at risk of being bullied, or becoming bullies, and of repeating abuse patterns when they begin dating or get married.

While the effects of family violence upon adults and chil-

dren are disturbing and the statistics for Albertans are sobering, there is help available for people who want to end the cycle of violence. Family Violence Action Society provides individual services and group programs to assist men, women and children who have been abused, or who have used abusive behaviour to control others. Camrose Women’s Shelter houses a range of shelter and outreach services for abused women and their children. Camrose Family Resource Centre – A Parent Link Centre’s Taking Action on Bullying project helps elementary school-aged children and their families tackle bullying, while the Association of Communities Against Abuse provides assistance specific to child sexual abuse. Boys and Girls Club, Camrose Police Services, Victim Services, Family School Liaison, Alberta Children’s Services, and Alberta Health Services Addiction and Mental Health are also valuable sources of support, information and protection.

For more information about Family Violence Prevention Month activities or services for people impacted, contact Sheralyn Dobos, program director of the Family Violence Action Society at 780-672-0141. For urgent matters, call the police at 780672-4444 or Camrose Women’s Shelter at 672-1035.

Camrose RCMP receive complaints about party at campground October 19

A resident of Bawlf attended the Camrose RCMP to report that two nights in a row gas had been stolen out of his vehicle. RCMP discussed various methods of security with the resident.

October 24

RCMP attended Ross Flats after a complaint had been received about a large group of people partying and possibly burning a picnic table. Upon arrival, it was

determined the party goers had brought old pallets for the fire and were acting in a controlled and responsible manner.

A complaint was received from the area of Range Road 204 and Township 472 about a possible intoxicated driver driving erratically. A patrol was made and the vehicle was found. Two occupants were found sleeping in the vehicle and marks on the road suggested stunting.

Though the driver denied such activity, a verbal warning was given. No alcohol was involved.

RCMP attended the scene of a single vehicle rollover in the area of Highway 26 and Range Road 184. A semi tractor had caught the edge of the road and rolled into the ditch. One occupant was temporarily pinned under the vehicle but was able to get himself out. The individual was taken to hos-

pital as a precautionary measure.

October 25

A report of theft was received from a resident in the area of Hwy 834 and Hwy 26. The resident reported two quad belts, a winch hook and ball hitch, 100 liters of gas and tools stolen from the site. RCMP members attended the scene and this matter is still under investigation.

RCMP also responded to

one false alarm, 10 dangerous driving complaints, and eight animal related collisions.

Camrose RCMP are receiving an increased number of calls relating to telephone frauds and scams.

We’d like to remind the public to not supply any personal information, nor transfer any funds. The individuals on the phone are convincing and very threatening especially with the elderly.

2016 GMC Yukon Rediscover the joy of being behind the wheel

John Marshall

By Dan Jensen

You’ll rediscover the joys of driving when you step into the 2016 GMC Yukon at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC. “It’s definitely a vehicle that stands out,” said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Will McClellan. “Drive it once and you won’t want to go back to anything else.”

Yukon Denali’s signature styling begins with projectorbeam HID headlamps and chrome accents, and continues with available 22-inch wheels and optional power-retractable assist steps with perimeter lighting. Bold, sculpted lines glide from the threedimensional grille and over the inlaid doors for smooth, uninterrupted airflow.

Yukon Denali and SLT include a hands-free, foot-activated power liftgate which, once opened, makes it easy to lower the second- and thirdrow seats to create a flat cargo floor.

An under-floor cargo management system and cargo net keep gear organized and secure.

New OnStar 4G LTE with built-in Wi-Fi capability (includes a three month, 3GB trial, whichever comes first),

means a fast internet connection for web-enabled devices.

The reconfigurable gauge cluster on Yukon Denali can be personalized with three selectable themes – standard, technology and media.

New for 2016 is support for Apple CarPlay. It’s a smart way to use your iPhone inside your Yukon. Now many of the functions you use your phone for – entertainment, communication and directions – appear on the built-in display.

Yukon’s available navigation system displays 2-D or 3-D map graphics on a 203 mm diagonal centre-mounted screen. A four-colour head-up display projects important driving information at eye level. Without taking your eyes off the road, see speedometer and rpm, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, transmission position and Turn-by-Turn Navigation information.

The available Blu-Ray/ DVD rear-seat entertainment system features a 234 mm diagonal flip-down display.

Yukon XL and XL Denali models feature two screens, with one screen specifically for the third-row passengers.

This system is compatible

with most popular gaming systems.

With available wireless charging conveniently located on the centre console, you can power up your compatible phone or device anytime the vehicle is running.

Yukon’s EcoTec3 engine family combines three technologies: Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management and continuously Variable Valve Timing to deliver exceptional power, torque, efficiency and durability. The 5.3 V8 achieves the best city and highway fuel efficiency in its class, and it generates 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque. For even more power and torque, Yukon Denali features a 6.2 litre V8 with class-leading horsepower and torque and a Hydra-matic eight-speed automatic transmission.

A valved exhaust system contributes to a quieter environment, while hydraulic engine mounts reduce vibrations for a quieter ride.

Electronic Throttle Control delivers instantaneous acceleration.

Yukon’s electronic stability control system helps improve stability by reducing traction loss. Sensing when Yukon isn’t responding

to steering inputs, it adjusts engine speed and applies brake pressure to any wheel to help maintain directional control. To mitigate rollovers, it anticipates a vehicle “tip up” situation, rapidly braking to help reduce lateral forces and the likelihood of a rollover.

Magnetic Ride Control senses changes in the road surface up to 1,000 times per second, instantly adjusting the shock absorbers for maximum comfort and control, without sacrificing agility.

Yukon’s four wheel drive system allows you to switch between two wheel drive for optimum fuel efficiency and four wheel drive for much needed additional traction and control.

Auto Grade Braking automatically senses when you want to slow your Yukon and engages a grade braking shift pattern within the transmission to help maintain your desired speed.

Tow/Haul mode provides more power to accelerate when trailering or hauling heavy loads. Tow/Haul mode raises transmission upshift points.

It also helps reduce speed by using engine compression to

slow Yukon instead of merely braking.

Yukon offers a comprehensive array of driver alert technologies, engineered with the idea that the best way to handle a collision is to avoid it.

Lane Keep Assist helps Yukon stay in its lane and avoid unintentional lane changes.

It assists by gently correcting the steering path and may also issue an alert if Yukon approaches a detected lane marking without the turn signal being activated. Intellibeam automatically adjusts between low and high beam when oncoming headlamps or taillamps are detected. Side Blind Zone Alert monitors Yukon’s blind spots, alerting the driver via visual warnings to help reduce the risk of collisions. Forward Collision Alert warns you when you’re rapidly approaching another vehicle ahead and it appears a collision is imminent. It also provides an alert if the driver is following a detected vehicle much too closely.

See the 2016 GMC Yukon at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, November 3, 2015 – Page 30

Kodiaks explode for 11 goals against the Canucks

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks took out their frustrations on the Calgary Canucks Oct. 25.

Although it was a week before Halloween, the Canucks were very scared as they felt the wrath from the bears. The Kodiaks had lost a pond hockey style of game 7-4 to the Lloydminster Bobcats in the previous contest.

“Both times against Lloydminster we had a bad start, played their game and it forced us to play catch up. We are just as good, if not better than them, but we need to play our game,” said defenceman T.J. Brown.

“We were thinking too much and got lured into playing an offensive game. We had a good second period, but it left us in a hole.”

The Bobcats poked the bears and the result was a 11-3 loss for the Canucks.

Camrose scored five goals in the first period and when the Canucks pushed back in the third frame, the Kodiaks netted another five tallies.

Tanner Younghans led the charge with a hat trick (three goals). Liam Motley and Mackenzie Bauer scored twice and single markers came from Tanner Fleck, Estian Coetzee, Trevor Costello and Nelson Gadoury.

“It was a good sign to score some goals and bounce back after a loss. It showed that we are not going to take that,” said Brown.

Departed goalie Keelan

Williams stopped 25 of 28 shots for the victory in his only start for the Kodiaks.

Camrose had 38 shots on the Calgary net.

“We are a little more comfortable knowing our goalies are set and we know that one more trade is coming. Our team is shaping up to be strong,” said Brown.

Lloydminster caught the bears napping and scored 52 seconds into the game and then added another marker about seven minutes later.

Then the Bobcats scored just 50 seconds into the middle frame, this time waking the bears. Cam Gotaas responded for the Kodiaks, followed

by Scott Ferguson and Fleck to close the gap to 4-3.

The Bobcats roared again in the third by scoring three times, while Camrose came back with a tally from Fleck, his second of the game.

Goalie Brodan Salmond turned away 27 of 33 shots.

Camrose only managed to generate 20 shots on the Lloydminster net.

Brown returned from a trip to Quinnipiac University in Hamden (near New Haven, Connecticut) to view the learning institution and the Bobcats’ hockey facility.

“It was unbelievable because I had never been to the east coast. They have a main campus on the bottom and they have a big hill called York Hill and that is where the arena is,” explained Brown. “I’m thinking about it quite a bit. I’m also looking at the Ivy League. I want to

take engineering and Quinnipiac has a fairly new engineering department and all of the equipment is new, so that is exciting. They have a good hockey program, so it would be a good fit for me.”

Brown is planning to come back to the Kodiaks next season and then go to university.

“The players are a lot bigger and stronger, so I have

some work to do to reach that level. I’m just going to concentrate on improving all aspects of my game so I’m ready for that level. I have to do everything a little extra now,” he added.

Bear facts

Camrose hosts the Brooks Bandits on Nov. 6 in a rare Friday afternoon home game at 3 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. Enjoy the

hockey and move over to the Community Centre after the action for the Jordan McIntosh and Brett Kissel concert.

On Saturday, Nov. 7, the Calgary Mustangs provide the opposition at 7 p.m. In a scheduling nightmare, the horses will ride back into the city for a rematch on Nov. 10 in a rare back-to-back with a travel series for Calgary.

Hockey Vikings move into a tie for second

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings hockey team required an extra period to silence the Concordia Thunder 2-1 in Camrose on Oct. 23.

The single point on the line was valuable to the Vikings as it gave them a tie of second place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference.

Corey Kosloski garnered the game winning goal to break the deadlock.

Augustana forward Alex Rodgers netted the first tally of the game in the opening frame and Concordia came back with the equalizer in the second period.

Goalie Harry Fredeman stopped 26 of the 27 shots he faced. The Vikings fired 46 shots at the Thunder cage.

Augustana took control of the second game in Edmonton and came away with a 5-2 victory on Oct. 24.

The Vikings led 2-0

after the first with tallies from Boyd Wakelin and Tanner Korchinski. Connor

McLaughlin added to the lead before Concordia came back with two markers.

Then it was the Kosloski show. He again netted the game winner and also added an insurance goal to put the game out of reach for the fading Thunder.

Augustana hosts the NAIT Ooks on Nov. 5 at the EnCana Arena in the next home game at 7:30 p.m.

The Vikings travel to Fort McMurray for a two game series with Keyano on Nov. 13 and 14.

Cross-country running The ACAC provincials in cross-country running were on Oct. 31 in Lethbridge. The nationals are in Brockville, Ontario Nov. 13 and 14.

Soccer The Augustana women’s soccer team ended the regular season with a strong 2-0 victory over the King’s Eagles on Oct. 25.

Goalie Ashley Chaput earned the shutout, while teammates Jenya Rust and Alana Ell supplied the scoring.

On the men’s side, Augustana was outscored

6-2 against the Eagles.

Andriy Khikhlouskyy collected both goals for the 0-10 Vikings.

Both soccer clubs missed the cut for the playoffs.

Basketball The Vikings women’s basketball team got back on track with a pair of wins to even its record at 2-2.

Augustana beat the King’s Eagles 79-56 with Fareen Lalani netting 14 points and 77-40 with Anna Montgomery collecting 22 points to lead the team in scoring.

The men lost 91-86 and 93-71 to the Eagles. Gerard Rivers scored 19 points in Edmonton and both he and Cameron Vilcsak scored 16 at home to lead the Vikings on offence.

The NAIT Ooks provide the next home game opposition on Nov. 6. The women’s game starts at 6 and the men follow at 8 p.m.

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.

Cook returns in Roots series at Bailey

Accounting Professional

Declare Brands is seeking an accounting professional to fill a senior accounting position at our corporate office in Camrose. Duties would include cash flow management, planning and budgeting, and preparation of working papers and financial statements. Some management and supervisory responsibilities will also be included in this position. An accounting designation or equivalent experience is required.

By Murray Green

Scott Cook and the Long Weekends released their first CD Go Long together at the Bailey Theatre last summer.

Cook is now back in Camrose for a show in the Rose City Roots Society series at the Bailey Theatre on Nov. 6, beginning at 8 p.m.

“The Roots Society presented us a couple of times and they took really good care of us. We have had good audiences and it is one of the better places to play in Alberta,” said Cook, on why he keeps coming back.

Cook is known as a roots artist with a rare personal warmth. The Sherwood Park artist has managed to distill the stories collected over years of near-incessant touring across Canada, the USA, the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia into straight-talking, keenly observant verse.

“This CD is a whole different one for me. This one strays from my acoustic folk sound and is more of a party record. It features a seven piece honky tonk band. It is about festivals and summer fun,” explained Cook.

He will still bring his humour, a disarming honesty, years of roads and a deep love of humanity to his song craft and storytelling.

He is equally at home alone on stage, accompanying himself with guitar, banjo, ukulele, or backed by his acoustic trio the Second Chances, or in this case the Long Weekends.

“I’ve played with these people (Long Weekends) over the years, since 2008. We just didn’t make a record. They have all been on my records before, but it makes more sense to travel solo. This time they all came together at the same time long enough to make a record,” Cook explained. “The electric band (Long Weekends) will be touring for six dates in Alberta just to release the record.

“It’s just not cost effective to take everyone on the road outside of Alberta,” he added. “I wanted them to get together to make the CD. It’s a party record and I wanted it to sound like a bunch of friends getting together having fun.”

Cook’s songs are true stories set to music, drawing on influences from folk and old-time country to soul and blues. “People should bring their dancing shoes and be ready for a party,” he said. “It should be a lot of fun.”

Declare Brands is comprised of four award-winning franchise brands including Magnetsigns, EmbroidMe, Transworld Business Advisors and Billboard Connection/Izon Global Media with over 160 franchises in North America.

Kodiaks welcome familiar Lovsin name

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks traded goalie Keelan Williams to the West Kelowna Warriors for forward Paul Lovsin.

“He was a point a game player in Spruce Grove and has very good offensive skills.

He is a smart hockey player and sees the ice well,” said Kodiaks general manager and coach Boris Rybalka.

Lovsin was acquired by the Warriors during the offseason from Spruce Grove, but he wanted to return to Alberta.

“He scored 50 points for the Saints (19 goals and 31 assists) and is a proven offensive player. But, the thing is, he is a very good defensive player as well,” said coach Rybalka.

He learned a thing or two about defensive hockey from his family including uncle Ken Lovsin, who played for the Camrose Lutheran College Vikings (before it became Augustana) and he went on to play for the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. Ken originally signed with the Hartford Whalers.

“Paul was very excited to come to Camrose. He won championships with Spruce Grove and knows Camrose is one of the top teams with a chance to win a championship. He is excited about another chance at winning,” added Rybalka. “He has the right attitude and character and fits the mould of what we want to see in Camrose.”

Paul won back to back AJHL championships with the Saints and his experience will be welcomed in Camrose.

Williams will assume the number one spot for the Warriors, while Lovsin returns to the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Williams spent last season and the start of this season with the Western Hockey League’s Kootenay Ice before reporting to Camrose after being released. He also played for the Okotoks Oilers in 2012-13.

“With Kootenay having Wiliams’ rights, it was a natural fit for him to be next door in case they need him back,” said Rybalka, who knew which team to call to start the trade talks.

Mackenze Bauer and Lovsin change the level of offence Camrose now brings to every game.

“We also haven’t played with Braeden Salverda for a month and a half and now he has been cleared to play. Now this is huge; we have just added three solid players.

Kodiaks healthy again through trades Continued from page 34

“It was like making three trades,” offered Rybalka. “Our forward strength has just vastly improved. We have more skill and it will show with more goals.”

The coach has one more trade before the deadline in early December.

Defenceman Drew Weich stepped forward with a possible trade. The Kodiaks have one too many 20-year-olds and a move has to be made.

“He is thinking about future education and whether he wants to finish out his year with a different organization.

“He had an ankle injury during the off-season and couldn’t play for the first month. Then he got behind and it seemed he was two months behind because he was working so hard to get back. He has played well, but he was caught in the numbers game and a 20-year-old has to go.”

Introducing…

Al Mohamed

BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARD

Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre received the Business Excellence award at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week Awards Banquet Oct. 22.

Accepting the award on behalf of the west end business from Rural Alberta Business Centre executive director Louise Jones, left, was Tracy Kruse. Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre was founded in 1993 and converted to Home Hardware in 2000.

Starting with 4,700 square feet and a three acre yard, the business has grown to 30,000 square feet with a 15,000 square feet warehouse which it is expanding by another 10,000 square feet. Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre has been the recipient of numerous awards for achieving the highest standards of retailing, merchandising, community relations, sales, innovation and community involvement. The business hosts and participates in events such as Relay for Life, the Bowl-a-Thon, Bowl for the Green and Tree Canada planting.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Great home close to amenities

Al Mohamed is known for his work ethic. Excellence in customer service is second nature with him. He couldn’t have competed successfully in the Camrose small business sector for over thirty years without these professional characteristics! You no doubt recognize Al from his decades, along with his family, of owning and operating Marler Mini Mart. On the rare occasions that he wasn’t at the store, he could be found volunteering his time, or actively participating, in a game or match at one of the Camrose sports venues. Al devoted hundreds of hours organizing teams and events in an impressive range of sporting activities.

Badminton, tennis, golf, squash, and soccer participants have all had the benefit of Al’s passion for the game, and his ability to organize and communicate with players and parents alike.

Al has a special excitement and attachment towards real estate, having been involved in various personal, business and investment properties. Upon his retirement from retail, Al has made a decision ‘on the next career’ of his life – he is committed to being a professional realtor.

The bright white kitchen features plenty of storage cupboards and a handy large dining area.
