Representing Camrose and District Community Band: Tom Spila – Director, Norman Skretting – Business Manager, Valerie Sims – Vice President and Ray Hook – President.
Camrose and District Community Band has had a successful season, not the least of which was an opportunity to perform on the stage at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre back in late March. The band is made up of talented local amateur musicians and several University of Alberta Augustana Campus students. The group rehearses one evening each week in the band room at CCHS from September through May. It’s a way for high school and university players and aspiring musicians to continue their hobby in music. Beginners have been introduced into the field of music this season, too! The 2016/17 season for the Camrose and District Community Band will come to a conclusion on Tuesday, May 23. Bring your lawn chairs and come listen to a free concert in the park (next to the playground) at the Bill Fowler Centre in Camrose at 7:30 p.m. on May 23.

By Murray Green
Jack McCool will be attending Williams College next year in the NCAA. The Ephs play in the NESCAC and coach Bill Kangas is extremely happy to have the former Camrose Kodiaks player commit to their program. “Our job is to develop and get players to the next level, whether it is to get them to the WHL, NCAA, CIS, ACAC or pro. Jack has chosen the NCAA and he is ready to play there at age 19. We, as an organization, are very happy that Jack is moving on and now will enter the next chapter of his hockey career and life,” said Kodiaks general manager and coach Boris Rybalka. “Jack is a great young man and he was brought up with good morals and ethics in a close-knit family. He will now be close to home. Williams College is roughly two hours away from Boston.” McCool, a defenceman, scored six goals and added 14 assists for 20 points in 58 games during the regular season. He missed the playoffs due to injury.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, May 16, 2017 – Page 4
REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Five things making me happy
On a day after an incident bounced me out of equilibrium for a while, I’m noticing things that make me happy. Here are five of them. 1. Green! Green grass and green leaves. Actual leaf-size green leaves. Moving from that early spring green to full-fledged adultsize dark green leaves. Faint green soon to be visible in fields. I’m now officially ready to believe that spring has really arrived and the odds are good that summer will follow. 2. Sunshine! Sunshine pouring in the windows. Yes, I do sometimes close the blinds to block out heat, but sunshine lifts my spirits. Sunshine and blue sky feel expansive and optimistic. A recent plane trip reminded me that the sun is always shining, whether we can see it or not above clouds. Even in our nighttime, the sun is shining on some other part of the earth. It reminds me that the sun shines on everything without discrimination. Nothing and nobody has to “deserve” or “earn” sunshine. That reminds me that the universe is a friendly generous place. Humans are not always, but the larger cosmos is. 3. Spring flowers. A bed of red tulips near my home makes me smile every time I walk by it. Grocery store daffodils and hyacinths light up my heart. Greenhouses filled with the promise of beautiful flowers and trees and nourishing fresh vegetables are a mood-lifter too. 4. Family. As my children and grandchildren have grown into adults, our lives have taken us different geographic and philosophical directions, with crowded schedules and multiple responsibilities. I feel privileged that they spend some of their precious time with me. I’m happy this month features three granddaughter birthdays and a graduation—more opportunities to be together. I’m grateful that my children and grandchildren all live within easy one-day driving distance. That’s not true for increasing numbers of people with parents, children, grandchildren and siblings in other provinces, countries and continents (including some of my nieces and nephews). That geographic distance feels infinite sometimes. It also reminds me that many of our ancestors had to leave their immediate families behind in order to start a new life here. I’m grateful they did and we reap the benefits. 5. The Edmonton Oilers. Yes, I know they lost game seven of the second round. But for a few glorious weeks, even people like me who don’t particularly follow sports were caught up in wishing them well. I’ve been known to rant about what professional sports demonstrate of our values (someone is paid millions of dollars to put a little piece of black rubber in a net? While child care workers and people who care for frail sick people in care facilities or hospitals get unpredictable part time shifts and barely a living wage? Where are our priorities?) Even my ranter self conceded that the Oilers’ playoff run was good for us. After all their long years at the bottom of the league, this still-in-development team symbolized that—even if we’re still uneven and not at our peak—we’re coming out of a tough time. I heard people say the Oilers were giving them hope about their own lives. When the Speaker of the Legislature from Medicine Hat and the Chief of Edmonton Police Services and bank tellers and waitresses in rural communities wear orange jerseys, and people who don’t know each other rise and fall with emotion together in bars and coffee shops and on street corners, that’s a connector. All these days later, some of the glow of hope and connection are still around. Plus there’s always next year…hope this reminds you of things that make you happy. P.S. To the lovely LC who sent me a card a few weeks ago, thank you! I so appreciated hearing from you. ***
I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send an e-mail to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com and I’ll joyfully reply.

It is with disappointment
towards the Camrose Booster and its editorial team that I write this letter. Newspapers have an important role in a free and democratic society; but, as they say, with great power... You have a daunting and significant responsibility to not allow your paper to be co-opted by persons espousing messages of hate and intolerance. By publishing the letter of Douglas Hendrickson noted above, The Booster has extended his audience imprudently. There is no place in our society for views like his; terms such as “foul practices” and
“perversion” in this context are hateful and disgusting. Ask yourselves, would you so blithely publish a letter with these exact terms referring instead to racial instead of homophobic prejudices? I should hope that you would not allow a letter that called an inter-racial marriage, for example, “foul practice” or “perversion.” In the future, I would hope for a more circumspect approach to publishing such intolerance toward identifiable sexual (and other) minorities.

CDSS celebrates 50 years By Murray Green
Has it really been 50 years? Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) celebrates 50 years in the community this year. They will be hosting a barbecue on May 29 at the Stoney Creek Centre from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Current executive director Margaret Hollis-
ton will be joined by past director Bonnie Hutchinson. “The first CDSS director, Evelyn Nelson, passed away earlier this year, but we will certainly recognize her contributions to CDSS and to our community. The CDSS directors after Bonnie were Louise Jensen, Alison Lavers, Wendy Gregg and myself. I never
got to know Louise, but I am pleased that I have known the rest and even worked with Bonnie (when we did social research together) and Wendy Gregg, my predecessor and former boss,” said Margaret. “We will have a short program at roughly 12:15 p.m. and will cut the cake around 12:45 p.m.”

On May 2, University of Alberta Augustana Campus former Dean Roger Epp launched his newest book Only Leave a Trace at the Augustana Wahkohtowin Lodge meeting room to a crowd delighted by the personal touches he added to excerpts from the book. “Some of the book is maybe more generic to the kind of position I was in (at Augustana). Some of it

is more particular to this place.” A few of the readings were a bit emotional and it was apparent they had deeper meaning to some audience members. “There are pieces I won’t read,” said Epp, “Including the Saturday morning grocery shopping at Co-op, it is a serious working event. Or, the one about dog sledding in the east arm of Great Slave Lake and almost doing
irreparable damage to Morten.” Epp managed to take the audience through some memories specific to special days that occurred at Augustana including “Years of Promises To See This Day”, a piece about the opening of the new library. Through laughter and sometimes tears, the audience mused at Epp’s extraordinary way of expressing the stories

and leading them to times gone by and connecting them to times of today. After the readings, Epp signed copies of the book while visiting with friends and former colleagues. The book is a collection of poetic meditations about the best, the hardest and the loneliest times of
leading a small university c a mp u s through significant change. They are depicted in a series of elegant, yet understated, prose pieces, alongside images by his life partner, Rhonda Harder Epp. For more information on Only Leave a Trace visit www.uap.ualberta. ca.

Augustana research By Lori Larsen
The University of Alberta’s Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities (ACSRC) housed at Augustana, will be participating as a principal researcher as part of the Environment, Community, Health Observatory (ECHO) Network. The research will be conducted across Canada lead by University of Northern British Columbia Health Sciences Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Health, Ecosystems and Society Dr. Margo Parkes. It will address the health, environment and community impact of resource development with specific emphasis on rural, remote and Indigenous communities. University of Alberta Augustana Campus Professor and Director of ACSRC, Dr. Lars Hallstrom will be working with a regional team including the Battle River Watershed Alliance based out of Camrose. “Building on a history of collaboration and capacity building across institutions and individuals, this project makes innovative contributions to research, and also the health, wellbeing and environmental quality of communities across Canada,” said Hallstrom. “The research approach recognizes that rural places and peoples still matter in Canada, but also that rural, remote and Indigenous communities can face particular challenges. Collaborative and highly interdisciplinary teams are one of the best ways to approach these challenges, and to find innovative ways to think differently about equity, the environment, and society in Canada.” Working from a fiveyear research grant, a team of more than 60 people and partners from across Canada will draw on expertise spanning health, social and natural sciences. “Our research team will be looking at the impacts of resource development as a whole, including health, community and environmental considerations,” said Parkes. “Exploring ways to work together across sectors and jurisdictions is a key part of this project, as well as working with research partners from across Canada and other parts of the world.” The research study is funded by a team grant as part of CIHR’s Environments and Health Signature Initiative. It is supported by the Research Support Fund, a tri-agency initiative of the CIHR, SSHRC and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).

Camrose Fire Department honour volunteer firefighters
Murray Green and Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Volunteer Firefighter week, Answer The Call, held May 4 to 7, recognized all the sacrifices volunteer firefighters make in ensuring their communities are kept safe. Photos clockwise: On May 4, firefighters around the world, including Camrose, stood in silence honouring fallen comrades. A ceremony lead off by the CFD Honour Guard was held at Camrose Fire Department at noon with chaplain Ed Lehman sharing a prayer for all firefighters. On May 7, residents of all ages enjoyed a pancake breakfast hosted at the Camrose Fire Department. Three-year-old Cecelia Kambeitz, donning her pint-sized firefighter helmet, was ready to dig into a plate full of pancakes. Four-year-old Ethan Gerber from Camrose waited patiently for Camrose firefighter Nic Sampson to set some eggs on his plate. During the Sound-Off Memorial on May 4, ceremonial helmets were set out to honour firefighters who have given the ultimate sacrifice. On May 9, during an open house at the Fire Department, firefighters demonstrated the many duties carried out by the fire department, including a demo to show how hydraulic tools are used to cut and remove metal around a person entrapped in a vehicle so they can be removed safely. CFD trucks line up to sound off the sirens.

Sorenson asks local seniors to consider submitting for grants By Murray Green
Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson is encouraging local senior citizen organizations to consider applying under the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) call for proposals for projects that will keep Canadian seniors active, engaged and informed. The application period goes until June 23. “Our constituency has benefitted greatly from this program in the past,” said MP Sorenson. “It recognizes the valuable contribution seniors have made to our society and our economy. New Horizons for Seniors Program projects help ensure that seniors maintain a good quality of life and continue to be active members of our communities.” The annual NHSP Call for Proposals for Community-Based Projects is inviting organizations to apply for funding of up to $25,000 for projects that help empower seniors to share their knowledge, skills and experiences with others and support communities by increasing their capacity to address local issues.

Chamber speaker urges take risks By Lori Larsen
The Camrose Chamber of Commerce members were given an opportunity to hear speaker Mardere Birkill during the General Meeting and Leaders’ Luncheon held at Augustana Cafeteria, May 3. Birkill spoke on the Innovation Imperative presenting attendees with information on how businesses and organizations can, not only benefit, but profit, from taking risks and recognizing that innovation is the key to staying viable. “It is our responsibility as business leaders to get out of the (economic) slump and change it,” said Birkill. Birkill said that the two specifics businesses need to focus on are business sophistication and innovation and she

Dedicated friend of Rail Station Good-bye furry friend
I made a mistake that no one who is grieving the loss of a family member should make—I went grocery shopping. Before I knew it, my cart was filled with comfort foods. Raspberry Viva Puffs that my Grandma always used to have on hand? You need to come with me. Mini Kit Kat bars? Yup, hop in. Favourite candies: Skittles for me, M&M’s for the hubby? You bet. Huge M&M cook-
ies? Get in here. We said good-bye to our 80-pound farm dog Sabi after only knowing for two days that she was ill. At nine years old, we thought we had a few more years with her, but the tumours on her lung and heart said otherwise. Her sudden struggle to breathe was not, as we suspected, a stuck deer bone, or pneumonia from chasing a muskrat through chilly pond water. The stages of grief are the same when saying goodbye to a loyal four-legged pet. Denial (could those x-rays actually be Fluffy’s from the next room down?) to bargaining (can’t we keep her on palliative medication for a few weeks so she has more time?) to acceptance (she’s suffering and she’s had a good life). I struggled with regrets as well: did we play with her enough, or had we gotten too busy with our children for more than giving her a quick pat on the head? I quickly realized that any gaps in our attention had been filled by the other two families on the family farm, who loved her as their own. No dog could ask for a better life than free reign in the country with as many mice and muskrats as you can eat. We held a little funeral for Sabi in the trees behind our house. Everyone took turns saying something they loved about her. We remembered her fondness for carrots that led to us fencing the garden; how we thought she would whimper and be scared on her first night with us and instead she kept us awake with her loud snoring; how she loved being chased, but couldn’t quite figure out fetch and how to bring the ball back so we had to use two balls; how she held down bones and carrots with her paws so she could really get at them. We named her Sabaidee because in Laos this means hello, or welcome and we thought of her as our welcoming committee. When we visited Laos, the children would run through the streets shouting “Sabaidee! Sabaidee!” to visitors. She was uniquely ours, and that is what makes us miss our pets when they die. They are irreplaceable, full of their own quirks. Our children were full of practical questions. Would we get another dog, what would we do with her things, what is my chore going to be if she doesn’t need feeding anymore? We involved them as much as possible, and let them know that when we love someone a lot, we miss them a lot, and it’s okay to be upset. Everyone has to find their own way to grieve. We took a family photo since it had been a long time since we had one with Sabi. Three young children seemed like enough challenge for a photographer to capture, let alone throwing in a large, wet farm dog. It was just us with a tripod and what I love about the photo is that we aren’t in coordinating outfits that were preplanned. We are wearing walking clothes, because walks in the pasture was our favourite activity with Sabi. For me, putting my thoughts and memories down in writing is balm to my soul and an act of remembering a loving pet. She taught me to appreciate simple things in life like sunshine on my face and the warm smell of spring in the air. Our last hour with her at home was spent patting her head and watching her lift her nose to sniff all of the delightful spring smells. As I left a playground today with my children and they rolled down a grassy hill, I didn’t hesitate for a moment before taking the plunge myself. We adults take ourselves far too seriously. Rolling down a hill once in a while is good for the soul.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose and District Heritage Railway Station and Park volunteer Glenys Smith stands in front of the newly developed immigration display on the top floor of the Station.
By Lori Larsen This time of year the gardens at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park are starting to show signs of life as beautiful arrays of soon to be colour begin popping through the soil. Along with the gardens at the Station there are historical buildings including the depot itself with a plenitude of wonderful artifacts and displays, the tea room and the white elephant gift shop for guests of all ages to enjoy. But without the enormous contribution of volunteers this little gem would likely not survive. Camrose Railway Heritage Station and Park chairperson and director Glenys Smith, knows all too well the hard work and dedication it takes to keep the Station running as she has been one of the main protectors, preservers and promoters of the Station for over 18 years. “My son, Shawn, is a founding member of the Canadian Northern Society,” said Glenys. “He was living in the station working full time and trying to keep up this place and one Christmas (before Glenys came) I said we (her and husband Bruce) will retire early and take this (Station) on as a volunteer project.” At the time Glenys was doing family counselling and parent education and while driving in Calgary thought to herself I need to return to the country. “I really wanted to come here and help out. But little did we know how much work was involved in look-
ing after a place that is a historic site,” she smiled. Motivated by her own education and learning about grassroots and building a community Glenys has never looked back. With a great amount of passion for children’s education she immediately began to write programs for children that are used at the Station and develop a strong connectivity amoung the generations. “One of our goals for our school program is to promote intergenerational understanding,” said Glenys. “When the children come here I go out and play games with them and make it fun, then the children see the generations differently.” Glenys speaks of the other programs and initiatives the Station does. “We started doing tributes to outlying communities and to the community memories. I collected stories from people then each summer we would do a tribute to a different outlying area. “In our display upstairs this year (first time the upstairs will be open for public viewing) we have done an immigration room and one of those community memories is Myrtle Zimmerman from Kelsey, an early settler. When we had the tribute to Kelsey her (Myrtle) daughter gave me her diaries from 1905 to 1917.” Glenys has taken a year to develop Myrtle’s story and monologue and will become her during one of her amazing storytelling features, something she takes great pleasure in doing. She explained, “Volunteers volunteer for dif-
ferent reasons and our application (for volunteer) allows them to mark what they like to do. “I love to tell stories and I need someone to listen.” When Shawn first began work with the Station there were very few volunteers. Eventually a solid group, Canadian Northern Society, grew and over 30 years many of those volunteers have remained in one capacity or another. “Murray Roy (since passed away) designed the gazebo and the Sparling Centre and he was instrumental in working with my husband Bruce and other people to restore those buildings. “Even if it is only one hour a year, we appreciate it and are thankful for when volunteers do come. They make the difference. It is not just me. All of these people make it happen. It is always a team community approach,” said Glenys of all volunteers including her own children and grandchildren. Expanding programs at the Station have also included some unique relationships in the community. “We have had a connection with Augustana with the Community Service Learning students.” As well Glenys presents information on sustainability and conservation in one of Dr. Glen Hvenegaard’s classes. The job of keeping the Station viable is not without its challenges as Glenys purports that funding is a constant concern. “We have a 20 hour/week position paid by the City.” Glenys feels a full time leadership position would greatly benefit the Station and provide the direction and flexibility needed to accomplish the variety of tasks required in managing a historic site such as the Station. However, that doesn’t distract her and all the other volunteers from continuing to give of their time to ensure the Station remains an intricate and vital part of Camrose and its history. “I feel I have gained as much from the volunteering that I have given,” remarked Glenys. “Because you get a chance to use your gifts. “I am thankful for having the opportunity to serve this community.” For more information on the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park visit www.canadiannorthern.ca or telephone 780672-3099.

Woods on Twin Fiddle Express tour By Murray Green
Scott Woods, left, and sister Kendra board the Twin Fiddle Express at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.
Renowned Canadian fiddle champion Scott Woods and his band present Twin Fiddle Express. The show will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on Wednesday, May 24 beginning at 7 p.m. This uplifting two-hour Branson-style live show celebrates the wonderful sound of two fiddles played sweetly in harmony – with lots of traditional country, western swing, country gospel and old-time fiddle tunes. Enjoy sensational step-dancing, wholesome family humour and Scott’s famous trick fiddling – somersaults and walking on a barrel, while playing his fiddle. “We are concentrating on songs that match our theme of twin fiddles. Everyone loves Kendra with her Minnie Pearl routine,” said Scott. “I wrote a tune called Twin Fiddle Express for this tour that is an introduction to the show.” Joining Scott on stage in Twin Fiddle Express is his sister, Kendra (Woods) Norris – a multi-instrumentalist and certainly no stranger to old-time fiddling, having won the Canadian Duet Fiddle Championship title three times with Scott, as well as several solo wins in various

classes including the 2016 Canadian Open (19 to 55 age division). “We have performed a lot together. I have to give her a lot of credit. I play and she follows me. I don’t know how she does it, but it seems to be more magical when she performs with me. I have played with other people, but it’s special when it is family,” added Scott. “We also do a tribute to a Canadian Armed Forces person who lost his life. It is touching as we read from a book with his actual dog tags in it,” said Scott. Also on stage are Canadian Country Music award winner and Guitar Player of the Year, Steve Piticco; bass player, step-dancer and vocalist, 19-year-old Patrick Linton, and keeping the band in time is drummer and vocalist Bill Carruthers. Scott’s dad Merv started playing old-time music in 1944 as a youngster. His very first performance was a fundraiser for the local schoolhouse just outside of Fergus, Ontario. By 1950, he had formed his own band known as The Merv Woods Orchestra. They soon became very busy playing for dances, socials, garden parties, weddings, anniversaries and more, many of which were fundraisers.

In 1956, a young lady named Carolyn Dyer joined the band as the pianist. The Dyer family was also very musical and had, for many generations, been playing oldtime fiddle music. In 1960, Carolyn and Merv were married and went on to have four children, Elizabeth, Kendra, Bruce and Scott. “I wrote a song for my mother and we play that as well. It has a deep meaning for us even though it doesn’t have words.” All of the children studied classical violin and piano and were already performing with the band by the time they were eight years old. By the mid-1980s, Merv’s role as leader of the band was passed on to Scott and The Scott Woods Band was formed. Merv continued as manager and sound engineer for the group up until his death in 2003. Keeping up the tradition started by his dad, Scott and the band have expanded their travels right across the country. Their love of music, fun and family continues to be evident both on and off the stage. Tickets are available at Wisemen’s Way Bookstore in Camrose and, if some are left, they will be sold at the door. They can also be purchased by phone at 1-855-726-8896.

Lougheed Centre set to announce upcoming acts at Season Launch By Murray Green
The upcoming entertainment line-up at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre will be announced during a Season Launch celebration on Thursday, June 8. Community members will be able to take tours of the facility, view video clips of the upcoming shows and listen to two previews. The Lougheed Centre now has four series for the 2017-18 season. The Shuman Insurance Presentation Series features 11 shows. The Fountain Tire Family Series has three performances for children of all ages. The Re/Max Classical Series has a string of Saturday and Sunday afternoon concerts that will enlighten and entertain. The new addition this season is the Central Agencies Cabaret Series to be held in the Mayer Family Community Hall. “The Season Launch is a free event, open to the public. Community tours begin at 6 p.m. and a lot of people tell us they still want a tour of the building,” said Nick Beach, acting general manager of the Lougheed Centre. “At 7 p.m., we will be showing sneak peek video trailers of each of the artists, so everyone can get a chance to see why we chose the artists we did. If it is an artist you don’t recognize, you will see and listen to why we booked them.
“This year, we have added a whole new cabaret series based on the success of the Derina Harvey Band kitchen party that we had last year,” said Tanya Pattullo, patron services manager. “Instead of being on stage, it will be held in the Mayer Hall now that is has been finished to accommodate entertainment events.” A new floor, full sound, lighting and a full projection system for shows have been added. “We are extremely happy that two of our four performers in the cabaret series will be here during the launch to give a sneak preview into their show,” said Beach. “Krystle Dos Santos will be opening the inaugural series with a Motown style cabaret. She is unbelievable. We went to the showcase in Fort Saskatchewan and listened to a couple of performances and it really wasn’t what we were looking for. I was making notes in my book when she walked on stage and said she had a cold, I hope you don’t mind. Then she started hammering out this song and we scrambled through the program trying to find out who she was, so we could circle her name. She sounded like Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin with that powerful voice.” She has a four-piece band to fill out her Motown vocals. However, at the
launch, it will be a duo for three or four songs. “Our other act will be a Christmas comedy called The Best Little Newfoundland Christmas Pageant Ever. It is based on the Christmas Pageant story with a comedy twist on this dysfunctional family. It has run in Edmonton for five or six years, so it is an Edmonton tradition that we wanted to bring here for two nights in our cabaret,” explained Beach. “The cabaret shows will be for adults because we will be serving alcohol.” Beach will be on stage to talk about why he selected certain acts to bring to Camrose. “I feel very passionate about who we picked and why we think it is important to bring these people to Camrose. People have asked to hear it from me and what went into the thought process.” Bringing in good acts that normally only stop in Edmonton or Calgary has been the key to the Lougheed Centre’s success. After the show, the evening will conclude with cake and coffee in the lobby. People will be able to subscribe to the regular season, pick six tickets and the four different series during the evening. Some of the upcoming acts include the Kentucky Headhunters, 54.40, Outerbridge Clockwork Mysteries, Ballet Jorgen’s Anastasia and the Barenaked Ladies.

Henry drafted by Winnipeg Blue Bombers By Murray Green
Former Camrose minor football player and Camrose Composite High School Trojan Tylor Henry was drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during the Canadian Football League on May 7. “I’m incredibly honored to be given this opportunity. I think this moment reflects not only the countless hours of work I’ve had to dedicate to this dream, but further indicates the incredible support and grace I’ve received to make this all possible. This is a dream come true for everyone involved,” said Tylor. “Tylor was a great athlete to coach. He listened well and was a team player. Due to his skill level many teams would double cover him and we used him as a decoy to draw the opposing teams attention away from where we were running a play. Tylor ran his decoy routes with the same level of drive and enthusiasm as he did when he was getting the ball. He is a true team player,” said Adam Belanger, Camrose Trojans football coach. “He has

already given so much back to football in Camrose.” His last year of high school football was in 2010 and he graduated in 2011. He played two years with the Edmonton Wildcats and then four years with the
University of Alberta Golden Bears. “Throughout that time, Tylor returned to Camrose nearly every week to work out with the players involved with our Open Football Program (an off season workout program open to players
of all age groups and skill level, which is hosted by the Trojans football coaches). Tylor helped out as a guest coach there, as well as spring camps whenever his football schedule allowed him the time,” shared coach Belanger.
Henry was one of the University of Alberta Golden Bears top receivers since joining the team in campus in 2013. A 5-foot-11 pass-catcher he was a consistent producer over four seasons with the Golden Bears. Henry caught 174 receptions for 2,357 yards over the span of 32 games. As a first-year player in 2013 he recorded a team-high 59 receptions for 688 yards. On special teams, he used his speed as a dynamic playmaking talent. “The entire Camrose Composite High School Trojans football family is very proud of Tylor and his accomplishments with the Wildcats, Bears and now him being drafted by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to play professional football. Tylor has put in the work and is seeing the fruits of his labours paying off.” Winnipeg had the first pick in the draft and each team selected players in eight rounds. The Blue Bombers are expected to keep improving with plenty of Canadian talent in the club.
Tambasco moves over to the next dressing room
By Murray Green
Former Camrose Kodiaks defenceman Joseph Tambasco didn’t have to carry his hockey gear very far to prepare for next year. He has committed to the University of Alberta Augustana Vikings hockey program. “As an organization, we are excited for Joe and his future with the Vikings,”
said Kodiaks head coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. “When we acquired Joe in a trade, we knew he came from a great family, and then we got to see firsthand that he is a great individual also. He will be an asset to the Viking’s back end as he is able to play in all situations.” Tambasco had many
options, but chose the Vikings because of the University of Alberta degree program and the success of the Vikings hockey program. He led the Kodiaks defenceman on offence with seven goals and 36 points in 60 games. That was good enough for fourth on the team in points. Goalie Gora
Former Kodiaks goalie
Patrick Gora is now a SAIT Trojan and will be opposing Tambasco. “The Kodiaks are extremely happy Gora has committed to attend SAIT for the 2017-18 season. I might be biased, but I believe Patrick was one of the top goaltenders in our league this year. With the amount of injuries we had this year, he gave us a
chance every game. I know that he will steal games for SAIT because he is that good.” He recorded 28 wins in 52 games with a 2.71 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. The goalie is looking at becoming a police officer or EMT attendant after he is finished with his hockey career.
will now begin. Victoria is a nice city and the Royals would be a good organization to play for.” The Tri-City Ameri-
cans grabbed Jarod Newell, a defenceman with the Red Wings, 181st in the draft. The Edmonton Oil Kings picked Brendan Kuny and Logan Dowhaniuk (second round-26th) from Camrose, Red Deer Rebels drafted Chase Leslie off the Red Wings, Seattle picked Greg Nelson and goalie Ty Marcinkowski was also selected by the Seattle Thunderbirds. The players are now working towards next season. “I’ll work out this summer with Huxley Hockey Conditioning (HHC) in Wainwright. I’ll attend the Victoria Royals camp in August, but won’t be eligible to play until I’m 16. I’ll try out for the Major Midget triple-A in Sherwood Park. Depending on how that goes, I might play U16 here in Camrose next year,” said Dallon.
Local hockey players picked in WHL bantam draft
By Murray Green
The name Camrose was mentioned often during the Western Hockey League (WHL) bantam draft in Calgary. In total, 230 players were drafted over 14 rounds of selections, including 126 forwards, 83 defencemen and 21 goaltenders. Alberta led all provinces with 73 players selected, followed by B.C. with 62 players, Saskatchewan with 41 players and Manitoba with 25 players. Additionally, 29 American-born players were selected. One team really liked the local players. The Victoria Royals selected three Camrose Red Wings. Dallon Melin, a six-foot-two winger, who had 23 goals and 62 points in 36 regular season games and three goals and four points in six playoff games for the Red Wings was called by the Royals in the second round, 32nd overall. “It’s most young players’ goal to be drafted
into the Western Hockey League (WHL) their bantam draft year at 15 years old. Seeing my name come up on the screen was a dream come true. Especially being the Victoria Royals first pick of the draft. I went sooner in the draft then I expected (32nd overall) and I credit my development and being drafted to the Red Wings coaches Brandon Heck, Brad Huolt and Jeremy Biernes. Without coaches like them we wouldn’t be where we are. Thank you also to Camrose and District Athletic Club (CDAC), I couldn’t have asked for a better experience playing hockey here in Camrose,” said Dallon. Also from the Camrose bantam team they selected five-foot-nine centre Ty Yoder, 93rd overall in the fifth round, and five-footseven defenceman Noah Lamb, 118th overall in the sixth round. “I’m excited to play the best hockey I can and with two former Red Wings

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose and District Horticultural Society Rose City Rose and Lily Show and Tea will be held on July 13 at the Masonic hall and showcases exquisite flowers such as this lily shown at the 2016 show. By Lori Larsen
Working the soil and planting a seed or plant in anticipation of seeing it sprout into an incredible work of nature can bring about great joy and, for many, relaxation. Members of the Camrose and District Horticultural Society (CDHS) know that feeling all too well, not to mention the pleasure of belonging to a group of like-minded individuals. “We meet the first Thursday of the month at the community room at Real Canadian Superstore,” said CDHS member Diane Howes. In its 104th year, the horticultural society is going strong in Camrose with approximately 25 members. “Over the years, we have had some interesting guest speakers, such as Takota Coen from Ferintosh, who just recently came in and spoke about premaculutre (system of agricultural and social design principles centered around simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems).” Depending on the year and the weather, the Society has also done garden and greenhouse tours. Aside from monthly meetings where members can chat about gardening or other related subjects and basically enjoy getting
together, the CDHS gives back to the community by volunteering their time to prune gardens at Rosehaven, Bill Fowler Centre and the Community Memorial Garden. “We work at Rosehaven in the courtyard from May until the end of September or beginning of October to maintain that courtyard. “We also prune the roses at Bill Fowler Centre and the Community Memorial Garden beside Copperstone (opposite Bill Fowler Centre).” Howes added that people can plant roses in the Memorial Garden in memory of loved ones. “The City is involved with this garden. We just prune the roses.” On Saturday, May 20, the Horticultural Society will be having a plant sale at Duggan Mall from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. “Some people will bring perennial cuttings (plants) and others may bring tomato plants. They are local plants,” explained Howes. Residents are invited to come and check out a variety of plants for sale. Camrose and District Horticulture Society will be holding its annual Rose City Rose and Lily Show and Tea on July 13 from 2 until 7 p.m. at the Masonic Hall.

Elk Island Catholic Schools parents will benefit from Bill 1 funding by experiencing reduced school fees for the 2017-18 school year. As a result of receiving $474,000 during the 2017-18 school year as part of the Government of Alberta’s mandate to reduce fees charged to parents, the following initiatives, to lessen financial burdens to parents, are proposed to move forward. EICS will no longer require parents to supply basic school supplies for their students other than a backpack, gym attire and one-to-one technology device (as recommended for Grades 4 to 12). In Camrose, that applies to St. Patrick School and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School. EICS will be supplying all basic required supplies to students including, over the next three years, a graphing calculator while a student takes high school math courses. EICS will be eliminating noon-hour supervision, agenda costs, locker fees and any other general fees
that are not tied to a choice by parents. All remaining fees charged to parents, such as field trips, sports teams or enhanced programming with additional costs, will continue to be optional. Parents will be provided a choice for their child to participate in enhanced education services or extracurricular activities on a cost recovery basis. EICS will continue to provide monthly reports on all fees collected and spent at public EICS board meetings and also online. “By effectively managing its resources and always keeping its priorities in mind, EICS will continue to provide an excellent, faith-based education while lessening the financial demands on families”, said board chair Justine Wright. “EICS appreciates the financial support from the Alberta Government and is allocating it directly to supporting our parent community.”

BRCF awards scholarship grants The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a scholarship grant to Battle River School Division. The grant is from income from the W. F. MacDonald Fund. The fund was established by descendants of W. F. MacDonald to create scholarships awarded annually to residents of Camrose County or towns and villages located within the County who are graduating from high school and entering a program of postsecondary education last-
ing at least two years. One is for a university student and the other is for a student attending a college or technical school. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors
and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $4,865,000 to support community facilities and programs such as the Battle River School Division scholarship programs.

Guest editorial
Is it newsworthy? By Arnold Malone
Media is our window to the world. It is how we learn about other places, events, issues, joys and concerns. It is obvious that a free press is a required pillar for a democratic society. For many years media has been a prestigious institution and her employees were persons with significant respect. In recent years however, that respect has shrunk and media personalities are more frequently confronted with skepticism. When I refer to media or journalist in this writing I am referring to those larger outlets such as the daily papers, and major radio and TV stations and I separate them from the smaller community papers that serve a different function. There are a variety of reasons that journalism has lost some prestige. One of them is, we now live in a more educated society. Educated persons don’t just receive information they debate what they receive. They think for themselves. Also there are many more options for advertisers now and media need to compete fiercely for shrinking dollars. Some of that competition has lead to an unfortunate use of sensational headlines in an attempt to attract readers; a dumbing down of the news. A major concern with today’s news seems to be the unending search for awful. Radio, TV, and print news are too often just a rewrite of the police report. Why it is important to inform us about a crime hundreds of kilometers from where we live. The news is delivered like a catalogue of evil. A litany of items that adds little, if anything, to our lives yet make us feel like everything is going to some miserable hot place in a hand basket. Too often political news is just the index of what went wrong on any given day. It is impossible to live in a country as great as Canada and not have political efforts that advanced achievements. Yet, good deeds and programs are rarely offered as news worthy. Everyday in every community Canadians get out of bed and work to achieve so as to support their families and communities. Surely, there are enough positive events taking place from which we could feel a burst of pride. Who are these persons who think we are better informed because they dump a load of evil upon us? Why can’t we have a window onto the good that governments perform and citizens achieve? News providers frequently claim, “Good news doesn’t sell.” I just don’t believe that. We are all witness to happy and productive news and we delight in the moment. Today, our youth have so many opportunities to be entertained and distracted with music, social media, cell phones, videos, and 100 channel TVs, why would they choose to watch such depressing stuff as the news? News needs to be a mix of good along with issues of concern. In a country as great as this, news should not be a list of all that went wrong today. On the bright side, Canadian news contains a lot more positive messages than that supplied by CNN. If the child psychologists have it correct, that children become more advanced when they are raised in a positive and rewarding environment, then should we expect that a society is somehow different? Would not some positive messages be helpful? The achievements of governments and citizens are not just accidents. Would we not have greater pride and motivation if we were exposed to more of the good that occurs? If we are to love our country we need to balance the bad along with the great and there is an abundance of great that can be shared. When we get excited about our best we are motivated to do even better.

The automotive section of
Auto companies dipped into the tractor business By Murray Green
When local old-time tractor rebuilder and museum volunteer Will Voth works with the steam engines at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum, he often thinks about one of his favourite projects. Will, his dad Bill Wilson and his dad’s friend rebuilt a 1918 GMC tractor. His dad’s friend Tom had the tractor and found various pieces to repair it. When he couldn’t complete the task because of illness, Bill and Will stepped in to complete the project. “It was all seized up and rusty. Tom bought it from a scrap dealer and it had enough their to restore, but he also had to find a lot of parts,” recalled Will, who worked on it back in 1999. “I thought the 1918 GMC tractor was something rare and I wanted to help fix it,” said Will. “GMC wasn’t in the tractor business very long, so I knew it was a special tractor. When it was finished, it was donated to Pioneer Tractor Museum in Irricana where all three of us were members. I ended up in Camrose because I went to Augustana University and liked it so much, I stayed here.”
By 1918, Ford, GMC and other automobile companies were selling vehicles at a steady pace. Farmers would enjoy the new era of electric lighting, refrigeration, milking machines and butter churns through General Motor’s Delco Company in Dayton, Ohio. “GMC panicked and thought they should get into the tractor business. They sent out an executive to find out who was building the best tractor and was best managed,” said Will. “They then purchased the Samson company.” The most popular 1918 model was a 12-25. That meant the power of 12 horses on the drawbar and 25 horses on the belt pulley. “The one we restored was a 30X. It had 15 horses on the drawbar and 30 on the belt pulley, said Will. “My dad and I often worked on small engines, fixing them. Then my dad’s friend showed him this tractor and we decided to help him out.” GMC wanted to replace horses with Samson tractors and trucks. In fact newspaper advertising said to sell your horses while there is still a
market because they are too slow and eat too much. “Samson had a great big single cylinder horizontal engine cross mounted in their tractors. GMC bought them and put four cylinder truck engines in them.” Tractors were not new in 1918. In 1902, a Stockton, California company began making gasoline engines for a low-slung, heavy, single cylinder three-wheel tractor under the name Samson Sieve-Grip Tractor Company. It was built low to go under branches of the fruit trees in the orchards. “The Samson and GMC tractors had cast iron wheels, other companies made steel wheels. They had cross fins to gain traction in the sandy California orchards,” Will pointed out. In 1908, Henry Ford modified a Model T into a tractor, but it wasn’t tough enough for the job. When the First World War broke out in 1914 many farms suffered from the lack of men to work on them. An appeal went out to Ford to supply tractors. Soon black Fordson tractors were sent to England and grey ones stayed in the United States. Not to be outdone, GMC purchased the Samson company to instantly get into the tractor business. “It wasn’t a great tractor and they even fired the guy who told them to buy the Samson company,” suggested Will. At the same time GMC also worked on a similar tractor to the Fordson, called Mason Motors. It used a similar motor to the GMC trucks with the advantage over Fordson of having a large bull-gear in a differen-
tial case with a draw bar at the bottom. This prevented the tractors from flipping, which killed several Fordson drivers. GMC took over the Janesville Machine Company to supply gangplows, disc harrows and other attachments for tractors. The Samson line was phased out and by 1919 Model M four wheel tractors
were made. A light tractor was created using a Chevrolet 490 car engine. However, the belt driven transmission was unreliable. Production was stopped after 150 tractors were made. A recall sent all but six back to the dealer (six farmers refused) and the GMC involvement in tractors was stopped shortly after that.

Community gathers to pray together By Murray Green
The eighth annual Camrose and City Prayer Breakfast was held on Wednesday, May 10 at the CityLights Church. The Camrose and District Ministerial Association emcee Pastor Brian Krushel, along with Mayor Norm
Mayer and Reeve Don Gregorwich, welcomed everyone as hosts of the event. Each year, the local Prayer Breakfast focuses on the community. This year, the caring services of Neighbor Aid were shared. “It is with God’s blessing that Neighbor Aid has helped
so many families in need. We are a local church group working with the community to meet the basic needs of people. We are the hands and feet of Christ,” said Camrose and District Neighbor Aid Center program director Jo-Anne Tweed. Continued on page 32
Jo-Anne Tweed explains the community programs.
The CAMROSE BOOSTER, May 16, 2017 – Page 32
Prayer Breakfast Continued from page 31
“We are hands linked together in Christ’s name to meet the needs of others.” Neighbor Aid involves 20 churches (after starting with six in 1997) and is a vibrant group of volunteers working together to provide services in programs such as medical transportation, Martha’s Table, the food bank, Food for Kids breakfast program, emergency accommodation and meals, and referrals to other partner agencies and services. “We help people, we feed people. We give people hope for a better future. We want to break the cycle of poverty and hunger, so we started with the children. The breakfast clubs are now in six local schools. These schools are providing children with nutritious food five mornings a week. We are feeding approximately 400 children per day in this program. That is a lot of children, food, volunteers and a lot of blessing,” reflected Jo-Anne. “Martha’s Table is available to anyone who is hungry. It is free and serves soups and sandwiches three times a week. We serve about 200 people per month. They are coming because they are hungry.” The program runs Tuesday at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, Wednesday at Camrose United Church and Thursdays at CityLights Church. “We are blessed by the churches and the volunteers who serve people. Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to provide this program,” said Jo-Anne. “The Neighbor Aid emergency fund, in the last three months of this year, has helped 15 families with financial assistance because of evictions, getting power shut off, or to pay for a motel because they have nowhere else to go,” she explained. “In the last four months, drivers have taken 42 clients to specialty medical appointments in Edmonton. These are people who have no other way of getting there.” Jo-Anne wrapped up her address by talking about the food bank. “The food bank is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. Anybody who needs assistance can access the food bank once a month, 10 times a year. Our numbers over the past year have increased from 150 to just over 200 families per month and that is a huge increase for us.” Although the numbers are starting to decline, the demand has left the shelves sparse and Neighbor Aid is now dipping into the financial pool of reserves to stock the shelves again.

No! The Foundation offers seven different types of funds, one of which can certainly be tailored to suit your personal philanthropy needs.

An advocate for the environment and nature By Lori Larsen
The City of Camrose and Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace (WGS) Stewardship Program welcomes Carson Hvenegaard as this year’s seasonal Wildlife and Greenspace Steward. Carson is a familiar face around Camrose, having lived here all his life, he has already been an active and valuable part of the community. “I have always been very interested in the environment and nature and being outdoors,” said Hvenegaard. “It is something we always did as a family - going on trips and doing activities in the valley.” Hvenegaard just completed his first year of environmental science at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, a program that emphasizes a natural science curriculum. “I am very happy to be doing this job over the summer because it is in my field (of study) and what I may be doing after university.” On top of the experience and knowledge Hven-
egaard will gain over the summer working as the WGS steward the fact that he could remain in
his hometown could not be overlooked. “I already had experience with some of the

Hvenegaard will also be participating in the
Purple Martin Festival taking place on June 17 from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Stoney Creek Centre, education and urban wildlife issues. “We also hope to have some tree planting events to assist with the naturalization project,” added Hvenegaard. “The program is sponsored by the City of Camrose working in conjunction with the Wildlife and Greenspace Society,” explained City of Camrose parks director Chris Clarkson. “We are very pleased to have Carson involved; he will be the go-to guy to run our public programs and work with the Purple Martin Program and do a variety of other environmental projects we have planned for him, such as applying for grants.” For more information on any of the programs, events or tree planting initiatives contact Hvenegaard at email carsonhv@ gmail.com or telephone 780-672-0544 or visit ht t ps ://www.fa c eb o ok . com/CamroseWildlife/.

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.

Hockey development camp to be held here By Murray Green
Hockey Alberta and the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) will host an elite development camp expanding upon the success of the inaugural event last year. About 80 elite athletes from the Alberta Minor Midget AAA Hockey League (AMMHL) will be given the opportunity to participate in the AJHL Development Camp presented by Hockey Alberta, July 18 to 23, at the Recreation Centre. Hockey Alberta works with AMMHL coaches on player identification, final player selections and invitations. The camp features 2001-born athletes who played in the AMMHL this year and who are not currently on the protected list of a Western Hockey League team. The inaugural edition of the camp proved very successful as 14 players who attended in 2016 were signed to an AJHL White Card or affiliated to an AJHL team during the 2016-17 season. The camp provided an excellent opportunity for AJHL teams to evaluate and interact with the prospects. “The partnership has created a unique opportunity to enhance the development of these players and has proven to be an identification camp for our teams in just the first year,” said Fran Gow, AJHL vice president of hockey operations. “The camp also provides coaches with the option to complete their HP1 certification and ensures highlevel instruction for the participants.” Players participate in on-ice activities that include six practices, four games, off-ice and classroom sessions. There will be an AJHL presentation for athletes and parents and, at the conclusion of the camp, each player will receive a scout package and evaluation summary. “This camp provides the unique opportunity for minor midget-aged players in Alberta to learn from some of the top coaches, but also to showcase their talents for AJHL teams while they are learning,” said Drew Dixon, manager of coach development for Hockey Alberta. “The fact that 20 per cent of last year’s participants had AJHL experience this season demonstrates the potential.” For more information on Hockey Alberta’s development programming and athlete skills camps, go to hockeyalberta.ca.

It’s the little things that make a house a home “We’ve had a fantastic experience with Zetsen Master Builders. Our realtor introduced us and, from the beginning, Zetsen has been nothing but accommodating. The houses we looked ked at all had little touches that have been included as a result sult of customer feedback. An example of this is the motion-activated on-activated light in the pantry instead of a switch. Zetsen is also quick to respond to any issues ues that we might have. When the weather got really cold, we noticed that one of our exterior doors wasn’t asn’t sealing correctly. Celina responded to our call quickly uickly and had the problem fixed the next morning. We are extremely pleased with the quality ty of the workmanship, the friendly and efficient nt customer service, and reliability of Zetsen n and their employees.” MICHELLE & COLIN HAMILTON
“Some of the most wonderful innovations we provide in our homes have evolved from discussions with our clients. Identifying wants and needs, and finding thoughtful solutions for any issues that might arise for our homebuyers, is an important part of our work and after sales service.” CELINA BRISSON Customer Service Representative
