Mayor Norm Mayer

By Lori Larsen With a deep-rooted passion for the community of Camrose, Mayor Norm Mayer announced that he will, once again, be running for mayor in the upcoming municipal election in the fall. Mayer spoke about his decision to run again and the opportunity to continue serving the community. “I am fairly satisfied with what we have been able to achieve in this past term and there are some major projects, such as the pool, bridge and water treatment plant, that I would like to see through and that will mean going into the next term.” Mayer also indicated that the continual work on Camrose road systems is a project he wants to ensure continues to push forward. “We have set up a budget to get some longneglected road work completed in the last couple of years. I feel we have made some good progress and I would like to make sure that continues. We have several streets, roadways and sidewalks that need some tender loving care that they have not been getting over the years.” While Mayer said he has no major goals in mind as to what he would like see accomplished in the City, he was clear that he

would strive for continued growth and progression. “I want to encourage development that will fit with our profile of a community. “We have a strong basis of employment in the health and education fields and I would like to see Camrose expand in those areas wherever possible. “We (City) need to proceed with clean sound development for all our citizens.” Mayer added that efforts in this past term to ensure a philosophy of service to customers combined with a provision of good government was somewhat challenging, but that the City, in his opinion, has been able to achieve it. “We have an excellent group of people involved with the City from our city manager Malcolm Boyd down and I have faith in the fact that they will continue providing the type of service that I like to see. “I am from the private sector world where service is what you have to offer and I have that same mentality when it comes to running the City.” Motivated by his devotion to the City of Camrose and one of the main reasons he has been involved in politics for as many years as he has, Mayer said he does not want to see the mentality of service and cooperation with citizens,

developers and existing businesses falter. “I want to be able to provide an environment in which they can be successful and that others can come to Camrose and be successful–a steady growth of solid businesses as opposed to a boom/bust community. “We (Camrose) have challenges because of our location off the main corridor, so we have to compensate in other ways to convince people this is the location they should be at. “I know we have some concerns as far as the rate of taxes in our community, but the only way we can bring those down, or more reasonable, is to encourage more commercial and industrial development to carry the tax load. That is tough and a slow process right now because of the overall economy.” On a final note, Mayer said that Camrose has a lifestyle to which residents have become accustomed and he wishes to see that continue. “Camrose has been an excellent community for our family to survive in and I just want it to continue being that way for everybody.” Modifying the famous quote by former president John F. Kennedy, Mayer concluded. “It is not what the community can do for us, but we can do for the community.”

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Unforgettable

In the past few weeks I’ve been enjoying attending and reading about graduation ceremonies. My absolute favourite graduation events are those with a small number of graduates and a large crowd. I got to attend one of those last week. One of my darling granddaughters was part of a graduating class of six home schoolers who finished Grade 12 this year. The graduation event was special for a whole bunch of reasons, besides the obvious one of including a cherished descendant. The family dinner (about 70 people–on average about a dozen family members at each grad’s table) provided time for appropriate oohs and aahs at the grads’ gorgeous dresses and handsome suits, as well as family jokes and congratulations, and some catch-up time for family members who don’t see each other often. The follow-up ceremonies, where families were joined by many other community members, provided ample time to showcase each grad and grads’ parents. I expected to be a little choked up when it was my granddaughter’s turn in the spotlight. Probably in common with most grads’ relatives, I was filled with love and pride and good wishes, flashing back to the day she was born, and marveling how time whooshed by as she morphed into this poised young adult. What I didn’t expect was to be choked up by each grad’s turn in the spotlight. These grads know they are special. They know they are cherished. And they know that, as they move into the next phase of their now-adult lives, they are surrounded by a community that shares common values and wants the best for them. One of guests said, “I wish all graduations could be like this.” Unforgettable. ***

I’ve experienced similar feelings at small rural school graduations from junior high or high school. There too, each of a small number of grads has a time in the spotlight. The local school gym or banquet place is packed with family and community well-wishers. These grads too know they are special and that a community wishes them well. Unforgettable.

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Youth Education

Some corrections for Williams’ (May 23) Youth Education letter. 1. Williams is dead wrong when labeling me as one of these people who voted for the PCs for 41 years without considering issues. I take political “issues” seriously. Votes are cast by “secret” ballot in Alberta, so how I vote shouldn’t be any concern of his. However, I hold/ have held Alberta Party, Liberal, PC, Wildrose, and NDP membership cards at various times, encouraging politicians to work (together) for the benefit of all Albertans. Williams’ assumption that I/we “cannot accept that the Conservatives lost the last election” is

misguided; Albertans gladly ousted the PCs. He is also mistaken to label concerns regarding the decline of our onceglobally-respected education system, and the blatant abuse of our education tax dollars, as “petty issues!” 2. I did not (as stated) say “...discussing education topics ‘is a waste of time’.” What I said was, “This is an annual waste of $105,000 tax dollars...” because Eggen already has access to 800 students’ perspective on these questions. Williams misread my letter while putting words in my mouth/letter that I hadn’t used. 3. Suggesting the $105,000 (annual) cost of Eggen’s 32-member student council is “a small amount of public money” is also debatable. I would counter that it’s an unnecessary and costly PR move on Eggen’s part (replete with balloons and all). This time/money could be better spent to directly benefit students by improving their academic achievements. Eggen already spends (only FOIP knows how many) millions of dollars to have access to input (which routinely ignored) from 800 students, 800 parents, 800 teachers,

250 school boards, 400 principals, and 60 school superintendents via AB Ed’s (annual) stakeholder satisfaction survey. I urge you to weigh the value of information to which Eggen already has access, against what his hand picked 32-member $150,000 student council could provide. Aside: I have taught since 1969, in four provinces, plus in the British system, at all levels K-12, as well as first year university education students. Alberta, in recent years, compares poorly. Our math marks are consistently lower than Quebec’s, Ontario’s, BC’s and Canada’s average. And, Historic Canada recently assigned Alberta C- in Social Studies, the lowest mark in Canada! It is vital to acknowledge how misinformed we often are. Albertans/ Alberta parents must become aware of Alberta Ed’s ineffective spending of our tax dollars. This knowledge could motivate positive (corrective) actions. Corrections thoughtfully submitted. Marion Leithead, Bawlf

***

Graduations bring out my sense of wanting to create some kind of legacy. On occasion, I’ve been asked to speak at graduations. This year, not because I was speaking but because I had a family member graduating, I found myself wanting to say or give something wise. What could I say that would be of value to a young person on the cusp of a new phase of life? Then I flashed back to all my graduations–junior high, high school, university, grad school and some training programs that had a closing ceremony of some sort. I realized that not only could I not remember anything that anyone said on those occasions, I didn’t even remember who was speaking! I realized that my desire to seem wise was more about my ego than it was about offering something of value to the grad. Ah well. I’m still a work in progress. But then I noticed something else. From those “graduation” events that marked endings and beginnings, achievements leading to new challenges, here’s what I did remember. I remembered who was there as my circle of support–the family members and the close friends who had been part of the journey along the way, and were there for the culmination ceremony. All these years later, I treasure every one of those people. And that took me to a quote attributed to Maya Angelou: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ Words to live by; truly unforgettable. ***

City spraying helps control weeds, insects and animals By Lori Larsen With the recent hot spell, various annoying weeds are popping up all over the City. These weeds are growing rapidly and, in an effort to control them, the City of Camrose Community Services Parks Department has implemented weed and pest control practices. “City staff are licenced to spray only certain products,” said City of Camrose Parks director Chris Clarkson. “To deal with more of the noxious and prohibited noxious weeds, we work closely with Camrose County Fieldman and Weed Inspectors to operate a thorough pest control system in accordance to the Alberta Weed Act.” Keeping in mind the genus, infestation, safety and other conditions, treatments for the control of broadleaf and other weeds and insect pests are happening on City properties such as parks, sports fields, golf course, boulevards , sidewalks, roadway buffers, next to water bodies and vacant land. “The parks section of Camrose’s Community Services Department is hard at work controlling these weeds, insects and animals that would otherwise harm your quality of life and the natu-

ral ecosystems,” said Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship coordinator Carson Hvenegaard. “Canada thistle, oxeye daisy, common tansy, dandelions, scentless chamomile, toadflax, fungi, rodents and insects are among the species that are controlled by pesticide use in Camrose.” By using wind gauges, employees can determine wind speeds and will halt applications when wind speeds exceed 16 kilometres per hour, depending on the area being sprayed. “All pesticides used in Alberta are approved by Health Canada and Alberta Environmental Protection, having gone through a rigorous scientific review and risk assessment which found them to be safe when used according to label instructions,” explained Hvenegaard. “They will not approve anything that will harm human health, future generations or the environment, and re-evaluate each product using the most modern methods every 15 years.” Yellow and black signs indicating the date and time of applications, reentry time, pest controlled and pesticide used will be posted on treated areas. “Please observe posted signs and directions from

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster City of Camrose parks employees Jenn Rozema, left, and Alana Ell apply Par 3 (safe for grass) weed spray to areas around the City in an effort to control weeds. Alana uses a wind gauge to ensure the winds are not over 16 kilometres. Wind checks are made periodically at every spray site.

City employees to ensure your own safety,” added Hvenegaard. “If you see City employees spraying pesticides, know that they are using approved substances and proceeding safely to benefit all residents of Camrose. “The department is evaluating new systems to reduce pesticide use where possible, but in most cases, pesticides are the best option available.” Hvenegaard also noted, “This control is faster, more

comprehensive, and emits less carbon than other methods such as mowing, and is important to protect infrastructure from being overrun, crops from being destroyed, native species from being out-competed, and the health of residents. “The use of pesticides will continue through to October, with a variety of products being used to control different pests.” For a complete listing of the Treatment Schedule of the 2017 Pest and Weed

Control, visit the City of Camrose website at www. camrose.com/civicalerts. aspx?aid=2698 Some private property owners in Camrose are fighting their own battle with pesky weeds, especially dandelions, and may have to resort to the use of a herbicide applicant. Here are a few tips that can help prevent the invasion of broadleaf weeds on an otherwise smooth green turf. • Crowd out weeds with a thick lawn cover. • Keep soil well drained, fertile and aerated. • Hoe and till topsoil. Loosening and turning over the soil will help to aerate the soil, but bear in mind it can promote weed growth by turning seeds into soil. • Mulch f lower beds. Blocking out the sunlight can assist in halting the growth of weeds. • Use landscape cloth in flower beds to block out weeds. • Whenever possible, pull weeds before they go to seed. For more information on the City of Camrose Pesticide Program, email Community Services Parks director Chris Clarkson at cclarkson@camrose.ca or telephone 780-672-9195.

Multiculturalism throughout schools By Murray Green

Canada is home to many cultures and that reflects all the way down to the local Battle River School Division. The local school board isn’t just faced with English and French language concerns anymore. “I counted about 430 students in BRSD that are currently learning English as a second language.

They are not international students, they are English language learners. The students are either born here, or moved here with their parents,” said Diane Hutchinson, BRSD community relations advisor. “The Edmonton public school system offers several languages such as Chinese, Mandarin and Spanish as options. We

don’t have the numbers to do that, but 430 students is quite a list. We have a two-year English language learning program for those students so they can succeed at school while learning the language.” The world is constantly changing and BRSD is trying to adapt as fast and as best as it can to meet the needs of the students.

BRSD proceeds with Logos religion classroom registration online By Murray Green

Battle River School Division heard from about 50 parents at an information night that they would like to have the Christian-based Logos (translation: Jesus is the word of God) for students in Camrose at Chester Ronning School. The faith-based program would be a non-denominational education program that provides the instruction of the Alberta curriculum within a Christian context. “We were very pleased and encouraged by the turnout at last night’s (May 31) discussion and by the early indications of support for having a Logos Christian Program available in Camrose. If we are going to proceed for the 2017-18 school year, we will need to make a decision by mid-June in order to get plans in place for fall,” said Diane Hutchinson, BRSD community relations advisor. “Parents can still contact us for more information about the program and let us know they are interested by completing an Intent Form. This is very important. Those forms are available on our website. In order to make decisions for fall, we have set a deadline of Wednesday, June 14 for parents to respond,” added Diane.

LOGOS TALK

Submitted Sherwood Park parent Lynda Miller shared her experience with the Logos Christian based education program in which her children participate, May 31 at Chester Ronning School.

“Every year, we have parents in Camrose, and staff too, who ask if there is any interest in offering Christian-based programming,” she explained. “Now that we know there is interest in a Christian-based program in Camrose, we want to proceed with registrations.” The Logos program would be offered at Chester Ronning School in a Christian values-focused classroom alongside traditional

program classes in a community school setting. Some of the classrooms could be split classes. “If you live anywhere in Camrose, you could go to Chester Ronning School to attend the Logos classroom.” The Logos program provides a solid foundation, with a strong academic focus, in a caring Christian environment; activities such as a morning prayer, Bible read-

New life begins

I spoke to my plants tonight. Actually, I gave a little cheer and sort of cooed at them when I discovered that they had weathered their first afternoon in the garden just fine, out of the safe confines of my house. I believe I said something along the lines of “Hey, that’s awesome, you’re doing great, you did so well today!” With a steady wind blowing, it truly wasn’t a perfect day to move the pumpkin, zucchini, squash and tomato plants to their new home after weeks/months of indoor coddling. Their leaves began to curl and they bent back and forth with the gale. But for whatever reason, I had decided that today was the day. There was no turning back. It has been an odd spring. As soon as our garden was rototilled, it felt like a game of dodgeball, while I waited for a stretch of time without rain, or intense wind so that I could madly dash outside and get the seeds into the earth. I suppose the season was already off to an ominous start when I sat in the garden and did some back stretches before starting to plant. (You know you are getting older when…) As I checked on how my precious plants had survived and gave them their motivational speech, I also made an encouraging discovery: an entire row of peas had popped up since my morning check! I restrained myself and didn’t tell the new plants how proud I was of them. Each year at the beginning of the season I vow to pay close attention to the garden. Then the mosquitoes arrive and my weeding becomes sporadic. Then my tomatoes get so bushy that I have no idea how to get them to produce tomatoes, not more leaves. And so it goes. Everything generally does pretty well, but it’s never as well organized as I would like. This year as I stared at the soft, fluffy dirt, it occurred to me that gardening is an artistic endeavor. Each year, I map out in my gardening journal where everything will go. It feels like looking upon a blank canvas and deciding what colour of paint should go where. I improvised as I went along (wait a minute, back up the boat, putting the corn there will block the pumpkins!). I tried a few new things like planting Swiss chard and butternut squash just to keep things interesting. I planted the most pumpkin plants I have ever planted (nine) and now I am at the exciting phase of waiting for new life. This is one of my favourite parts of gardening. The backbreaking work of seeding is accomplished, the backbreaking work of weeding has yet to begin, and all of that wind is keeping the mosquitoes at bay. (On our travels in Australia, we saw a newspaper headline that read “The mozzies made me do it!” Mozzies being mosquitoes, and “it” being driving under the influence of alcohol to get away from a mosquito infested campsite.) It’s a time for regular checks to see if fresh green shoots are poking through the earth, ready to provide food for the coming fall. Gardening has taught me many things about life. I’ve learned that there is no such thing as failure as long as I have learned something! I’ve learned that bigger isn’t necessarily better. A garden that is too large can be overwhelming and quickly get out of control. My garden has taught me to expect the unexpected. One year, my containers of pumpkins and zucchinis that I had started indoors somehow got muddled up. It was a matter of plant it and wait to see what you get! We can’t control everything, and this is very clear in the garden. One year, two of my tomato plants simply disappeared one afternoon, eaten up from below by a vole. The next day, two more were cut off an inch above the ground by a cutworm. My husband’s aunt, who had MS for 44 years, recently passed away. The pastor who spoke at the funeral said that she had learned that there were things she couldn’t control and things she could. She had lost her sight and mobility, but she could still control the attitude with which she faced each day. The best lesson that gardening has taught me is to appreciate the little things and to cultivate simplicity. Celebrate small successes and enjoy the beauty that is all around us. And never be embarrassed if you are caught giving your plants a pep talk.

Flight of the martins By Lori Larsen

The sight of those telltale iridescent, purple feathers is once again dotting our skies as purple martins return to Camrose and our popular breeding grounds. On June 17, at the Stoney Creek Centre from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m., join the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Society and purple martin enthusiasts at the Camrose Purple Martin Festival–an event filled with fun and information for all ages. The day includes a variety of activities including a bus or walking tour to well-established purple martin colonies, information and techniques to attract wildlife to your property and improve success and satisfaction with your purple martin hobby, helpful backyard birding advice, an update on fascinating purple martin research and lunch. Registration begins at 9:30 until 9:45 a.m. From 9:45 to 10 a.m., Glen Hvenegaard will summarize purple martin population trends and recent research results for Camrose followed by a presentation entitled Mountain Bluebirds: Trails and Tales by Lois Johnson from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Children’s activities during this time include games and crafts hosted by the Camrose Public Library. Master bander Lois Johnson has spent over four decades monitoring Mountain Bluebirds, over which time she has held more than 14,000 birds in her hands. She has many tales to tell about the species and its Alberta population. Purple martin workshops will be conducted from 11 a.m. until noon for beginners and experienced enthusiasts and purple martin landlords. The children’s activity during this time will be pond dipping, hosted by the Battle River Watershed Alliance. From noon until 12:45 p.m., attendees will break for lunch. Rebecca’s Bistro and Sweet Treats will have lunch available for purchase. At 12:45 p.m., the bus leaves for a tour of purple martin sites throughout the City, returning at approximately 1:45 p.m. If you prefer to partake in a walk, a wildlife walking tour will be conducted on site with an opportunity to inspect a purple martin house.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, June 6, 2017 – Page 14

Lougheed Centre adds cabaret series to line-up By Murray Green

You will be impressed with the upcoming season of entertainment that will be announced at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre at the Season Launch celebration on Thursday, June 8. You will be able to take tours of the facility, view video clips of the upcoming shows and listen to two acts from the new series. Performing live in a sneak peak will be Krystle Dos Santos in a Motown set and a scene from the comedy Best Little Newfoundland Christmas Pageant. “This play is about the Herdmans family, the worst kids in the history of the entire world. They are a totally disfunctional family and now they are in a small town play,” said Tanya Pattullo, patron services manager. This is a free event, open to the public. Community tours begin at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m. sneak peek video trailers of each of the artists will be shown prior to the live performances. The Lougheed Centre will now have four series. The Shuman Insurance Series is the main presentation throughout the year. The Central Agencies Cabaret Series will be in the Mayer Hall, the Re/Max Classical Series and the Fountain Tire Family Series will fill out the season. Presentation series

“Leading off the main series will be Menopause The Musical on Oct. 13. It is the longest running (14 years) off-Broadway musical comedy in Las Vegas’ history. After a long run in New York they had between 12 and 15 shows a week in Vegas,” explained Nick Beach, general manager of the Lougheed Centre. Fubuki Daiko, a Japanese drumming group, display how they have been reinventing this traditional art from that merges primal roots with modern sensibilities, Oct. 20. “I worked with them in the past and for the next three years people were asking when are they coming back. They are high energy and we like to incorporate some worldly music into our series,” said Beach. You will remember Shane Koyczan, the multi-medium spoken word artist. “He is the one who stole the show at the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies in Vancouver,” shared Beach, about the Oct. 27 show. “His spoken words called ‘We Are More’ gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. He is a very powerful poet. This is a show that will catch people off guard. He is amazing.” Chase Padgett will be bringing his show, Nashville Hurricane, to the Lougheed Centre on Nov. 9. “He was here two seasons ago with 6 Guitars. That was one of the sleeper hits that year and people loved his 6 Guitars. This is his new show where he plays

five or six different characters during the performance,” noted Beach. The CBC radio hit of This Is That is now shown live to audiences across the country in the stage production on Nov. 16. Pat Kelly and Peter Oldring mix character interviews and mockumentary stories. “This is your opportunity to see how two people provide all of the voices for this completely improved radio comedy. CBC gave permission to tour these acts and now we are getting the great shows,” said Beach. The grand masters of illusion will offer a huge and fascinating journey through time. Outerbridge Clockwork

the show presents Hank Williams Live 1952, Friday, Feb. 23. “This is a great show for country music fans. It takes people on a journey of what it would have been like to listen to him in that fall before he died on New Year’s Eve,” said Beach. “We don’t like to present tributes, we want the real artists. This is not your typical show. It is a snapshot of his life in a particular time done by an actor, who sounds like Hank Williams.” Ballet Jorgen is coming back due to popular demand. This time the Canada group will be bringing Anastasia back to life on stage. A story of the Russian Grand Duch-

The Barenaked Ladies perform in their Canada 1 Five 0 Tour at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 2. The Season Launch is on June 8 at 7 p.m.

Mysteries will grab your attention the minute they walk on stage on Dec. 7. The audience is invited into a mysterious clock tower equipped with a variety of timekeeping devices. Then is becomes a race against time. “He is the leading illusionist in Canada. He often builds sets for other artists,” shared Beach. “Then we will have a rock show with 54.40 (Jan. 19)and it will be an unplugged version. However, they will have a full band. It just won’t be as loud as they have in larger venues. It will be a great show, but the unplugged version suits our venue better. They were recently inducted to the Canadian Independent Music Artists Hall of Fame.” It isn’t very often that married couple Debra McGrath and Colin Mochrie, who have been comedy icons in Canada for about 30 years each, appear on the same stage together. “They are filling the same spot as Brent Butt did last year. It will be equally appealing and funny. Most people know McGrath from Little Mosque on the Prairie and Mochrie from Whose Line Is It Anyway,” said Beach, of the Jan. 30 show. “I took my family to Disneyland and Mochrie and Roseann Arnold are narrating the ride. I thought if he is good enough for Disney, he should be ideal for Camrose.” Set in the Kawliga Café,

ess is told through ballet on March 14. “They do a lot through community outreach. They work with youth in Camrose and area, so it becomes a learning experience, as well as a show,” added Tanya. Beloved Canadian tenor, formerly of the Irish Tenors, John McDermott will be bringing his award-winning voice to the Lougheed stage on May 2. “He is internationally known for his version of ‘Danny Boy.’ His is also known for his commitment to helping veterans’ causes in Canada and the United States,” said Nick. Special shows

Leela Gilday will share her passion for music through songs. This Juno winner performs on Aug. 9 as a special show. “She is a northern artist who has a huge voice that will blow people away.” Barenaked Ladies will be giving a Canada 1 Five O tour concert on Nov. 2. “I think we have two single tickets left and some VIP packages.” The Ukrainian Shumka Dancers presents Clara’s Dream, Alberta’s version of The Nutcracker with two shows, Dec. 15 and 16. “The Nutcracker is a good show and then you add Shumka to it and it becomes a spectacle. You can select this concert in your Pick 6 package.” The Kentucky Headhunters, bluegrass artists who have played at the Big Valley

Jamboree, will hold a special concert on March 28. “They are a big country act from Kentucky. I laughed when I read the bio because it said they were from the Village of Edmonton. But that is Edmonton, Kentucky,” said Tanya. Classical series

“We have five shows in the classical series. We start with the Vaughan String Quartet, Oct. 29, with guest Millet-born pianist Janet Scott-Hoyt in a show called Strings and Keys,” explained Nick. “They are young and like to tour a lot.” Milton Schlosser and his piano skills were asked to come back again, Nov. 18. His show Saints and Sinners performance will include a piece composed for Schlosser by Frederic Rzewski. “Milton is a crowd pleaser and he will also share pieces from Bach to Liszt that celebrate the 500th anniversary of the reformation and its stunning musical legacy.” Another request was to have the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra back. This time the orchestra will feature music following the Handel’s Messiah theme, Dec. 22. “This time it will be the full orchestra and a full choir to be one of our biggest shows of the year. To get this show three days before Christmas is wonderful,” said an excited Beach. The Reside-Dawson Duo with Christie Reside on flute and Terence Dawson on piano bring the Magic Flute concert on Jan. 27. Reside is the principal flute in the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Dawson teaches piano and chamber music at UBC. “She won the Canadian music festival at the age of 14.” The Lougheed Centre also features local talent. “The My Heart on my Sleeve show will be our classical voice feature for the year with Catherine Corcoran, who is from Camrose,” said Nick. “She performs all over the world and we finally got her to perform a Camrose show. She will have Milton accompanying her on piano and Catherine will add some special guests.” Family series

“We were surprised at the number of people that said mothers and children could only come to the shows. We were caught off guard at the fact the dads where not coming to the shows because they had to work, or couldn’t afford to send everyone because that segment of the population was hit the hardest by the downturn of the economy,” Nick said. “Making these shows accessible to young families is very important to us. We decided to show a leap of faith and provide three shows for free. These are all ages family shows. Our goal is to just fill the theatre. At the end of the day, our goal is to bring theatre and shows to Camrose and break even. It’s not our

job to make huge amounts of money from the community. This is for the community and sometimes we just need to do what is right. Without a sponsor, we couldn’t do it.” First up on Oct. 14 is Sheldon Casavant in a show called Exploring the Impossible. This is a fun, action-packed Houdini type of a magic show that gets the audience involved and entertained. “This incredible magician tours all over the world and when I found out he was from Edmonton, it made sense to bring him here,” shared Nick. The movie Polar Express will be shown on a huge screen on Sunday, Nov. 19. This is the original Tom Hanks movie that is great to watch before Christmas. The third show is on Jan. 28 called Rock ’n’ Roll and shows how Canadian music is as good, or better than any other music in the world. “The band is called Speed Control and they play rock music, but one of the members is a school teacher and likes to put together shows for children and families. They talk about why people should listen to Canadian music and love it.” All of the family and school shows start at 2 p.m. Cabaret series

Dos Santos will give a full concert on Oct. 6 to launch the cabaret series in the Mayer Hall. She made her debut with an award winning album in 2008 and hasn’t looked back. She has performed with Stevie Wonder and now she will deliver her powerful voice to Camrose. The East Coast Kitchen Party and the Derina Harvey Band is returning by popular demand. Derina has a powerful voice and is backed by a Celtic rock group. The band plays on Nov. 17. “The show was not only sold out, but we turned away more than 100 people. Tickets will sell fast again,” warned Nick. The Best Little Newfoundland Christmas Pageant will be giving two performances. They take the stage on Dec. 8 and 9, as well as the season launch. “This is a great Christmas party option for businesses. If we have a good response, we could add another show.” Comedian Anne Marie Scheffler is another performer to be asked to give an encore. However, she is back with her new show Free Every Other Weekend, which examines the life of returning to dating after a marriage break-up. Instead of one show, she will give two shows Jan. 12 and 13 in the cabaret series. All shows in the cabaret series are 18 plus shows. Tickets for all shows will go on sale on June 8 as regular season tickets, or Pick 6 tickets. Single tickets go on sale later in June.

Rural Electrification Associations (REAs) are unique in Canada to Alberta, providing electricity to farms and rural residential member-owners. In the late 1940s, early 1950s, farmers organized REA co-ops to bring electricity to the rural areas when Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) refused because it was too costly. Today, REA assets have gained value, REAs are viable competitors, and now IOUs see the value of an REA. Let’s consider that value and its importance to the rural economy of Alberta.

What makes your REA valuable?

Top fiddle players perform at Bailey By Murray Green

Fiddle players from across Western Canada will be entered in the Prairie West Fiddle Contest, Alberta’s newest fiddle event, June 9 and 10. Competitors will be competing for prizes and a chance to participate in a grand concert on Saturday at 7 p.m. Three young fiddlers came up with the idea for the contest that was conceived around the dinner table. They represent a larger group of young fiddlers who are enthusiastic about creating more opportunities for fiddlers to come together to learn and share and car-

ry on the spirit of old time fiddle in Alberta. Ethan Harty of Strome and Red Deer fiddle players Samuel Corry and Jackson Corry entered the 25-Hour Non-Stop Fiddling Marathon in Lacombe. The event will be submitted to Guinness Book of World Records for the longest non-stop fiddle playing on record. “Quite a few years ago, fiddle concerts were a pretty big deal in this area and across Canada,” said Ethan, a Grand North American Old Time Fiddle Championship winner. “The Prairie West Fiddle Contest is a way of bringing that back.” Harty, a 15-year-old throwback to the old-style of fiddle playing, enjoys entering contests to sharpen his skills. Alfie Myhre is going to be the emcee for the contest. Calvin Vollrath, Byron Myhre and Deanna Dolstra will be the judges. A Welcome Showcase and Dance will start off the weekend on Friday, June 9 at 7 p.m. with admission by donation at the Bailey Theatre. The preliminary competition begins Saturday, June 10 at 10 a.m. It starts with a preliminary round

in age groups junior 12 and under, youth of 17 and under, adults 18 to 54 and seniors 55 and older. “A set for juniors is three tunes. They play a waltz, a jig and a real, which is the fastest,” Ethan explained. “In the youth and up categories, a fourth song is added, which is a tune of choice. You could add a polka or show tune. The tune of choice really shows your style of play and sets you apart from others. It is a chance to show off your ability. There is an element of difficulty, but most important is how well you play the tune,” explained Ethan. The top performers will be asked back for the final championship and show at 7 p.m. “The three from each age category will move on to the championship show. They have to play different songs than they did during the day,” added Ethan. Tickets are available online at www.bailey theatre.com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 504150 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780-672-5510.

Councillor Stasko proud to serve By Lori Larsen

Residents of Camrose will be going to the polls to check boxes in votes for mayor and eight City council members on Oct. 16, positions within our City that occupy a great deal of commitment and responsibility. Some of the present councillors answered a few questions about their experiences in an effort to enlighten residents about the duty of sitting on City council. In speaking with Councillor PJ Stasko, his responses were as follows. What has your experience on council taught you about Camrose, the community and municipal governance? “It has reaffirmed my belief that it is the people of Camrose that make it so special. It has heightened my realization of the level of involvement that Camrose citizens have in their community and the support they give it. Municipal governance can sometimes feel unwieldy, in as far as changes that do not happen as quickly as they do in other places. There are reasons for that; decisions need to be made for the greater good of Camrose and they could have ramifications for many years to come.” What has been one of the most rewarding and one of the most challenging parts of being on council? “It’s been very rewarding to see the level of pride and hard work City staff have day in and day out, constantly trying to raise service levels to residents. Council is there for the same purpose, to maintain and try to improve Cam-

rose. Meeting many diverse organizations that work in all different fields–I had no idea there was that many different organizations that have such a vested interest in the betterment of Camrose residents.” When it came to some of the challenges councillor Stasko faced, by far, the hardest to tackle was the learning curve as a firsttime councillor. “The sheer magnitude of issues and items you are exposed to can be daunting. We deal with everything from engineering to social issues, community services to financial and policing to public works. It is difficult for one person to be versed in such a variety of different areas. We also deal with the most important issue, which is trying to best serve citizens of Camrose. “I also thought that there would be some black and white issues. I have since come to realize that most things are differing shades of grey, depending on which side you are viewing it from. Every decision has real outcomes and not everyone will agree on those outcomes. What do you feel are the most important roles of a City councillor? Listening and asking questions. The more discussion and community input we have, the better versed council is to making educated decisions. You should also be approachable, so if residents need to, they can talk to you and voice their views. Serving on a variety of committees is very important as well. It helps to understand their internal issues more intimately.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster City of Camrose councillor PJ Stasko, right with four-yearold daughter Quinn, wife Lorri, left, with two-year-old daughter Aubrey and family dog Jax thanks his family for their continual support with his commitment to city council.

What do you think contributes to a balanced perspective on council? Stasko commented on the importance of seeing all sides of each issue. “It comes back to differing shades of grey again, depending on which perspective you are looking at. Listening to the presentation, reading all the pertinent information and knowing that the decision could be a long-lasting one. Other councillors often bring up different ways of looking at issues, so it is important not to have your mind made up before you hear all the information.” What commitments, including time, can a person expect as a City councillor? “Time is a very big commitment and can definitely get heavy at certain times during the year. Different committee commitments can also add up. Some meet monthly and they can last anywhere between two hours to all day. Depending on how many committees you are on and how often they meet, it can be a bit overwhelming. “I also get approached at work and in public when people want to air their views. I think that is terrific. That is what local government should be, where each person has an opportunity to affect change. I am surprised there have not been more phone calls and sometimes wish there were more. “Social media is such an easy way to exhibit your views, but sometimes the person will not have all the information. I have had many conversations where residents have been upset and, once they get some more information, they seem to be content with the interaction. Stasko also mentioned the many events, openings, speeches and fundraisers councillors attend that may sometimes be difficult to work around. On a final note, what advice would you give to anyone considering running for council? It has been a tremendous honour and privilege to have had the opportunity to serve on this council. My advice to someone considering running…go for it! If you are doing it to try and serve your community, then you are doing it for the right reasons.” When asked if he was considering running again, councillor Stasko replied, “I am hoping to run again, but there are many things that can change before the fall. It really has been an honour to be a councillor since 2013 and I would like to follow through on some major capital projects in the works.”

Submitted Photo Watercraft inspectors intercept a boat carrying invasive mussels at Sylvan Lake.

Protecting Alberta’s bodies of water

By Lori Larsen

Spending time on one of Alberta’s beautiful lakes or waterways is something many residents can’t wait to do after the long winter months. But before putting your watercraft (boat or other vessel that travels on water) in the water and after removing it from the water, remember to drain, clean and dry it to assist in keeping Alberta water bodies free of harmful and invasive species. Species such as the zebra or quagga mussels can easily be transported from one water body to another by way of standing water contained in watercraft. To avoid this from happening, boaters are legislated to completely drain their watercrafts of all standing water. In an attempt to avoid infestation, Alberta has implemented a mandatory boat inspection program. “Our boat inspectors are on the front lines of protecting Alberta’s beautiful lakes and waterways and drinking water,” said Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks Shannon Phillip. “Because prevention is so important, we have one of the most robust and forward-looking aquatic invasive species programs in Canada.” During an extended season, which began in March and will go through until November, inspection stations will be inspecting watercraft to ensure the proper measures have been taken by watercraft users against the risk of these species. Any motorized, non-motorized or commercially hauled watercraft entering Alberta must stop at one of 11 highway inspection stations in the province. There are five boat inspection stations along the eastern border (Cold Lake, Vermilion, Wainwright, Oyen and Dunmore), three at the southern border (Carway, Del Bonita and Coutts), and three on the western border (Hinton, Jumping Pound and Burmis). If anyone transporting a water-based vessel, within Alberta, bypasses an open inspection station, they are in violation of the Fisheries (Alberta) Act and may be fined up to $100,000 or receive 12 months in prison. The following procedures are suggested for maintaining your watercraft. Clean and inspect watercraft, trailer and gear. Remove all plants, animals, and mud at the point of access area or dock. Once home, soak gear in a bleach solution for at least one minute. Rinse, scrub or pressure wash your boat away from storm drains, ditches or waterways. Drain your watercraft on land before leaving the water body. As well, drain all bait buckets, ballasts, bilges and coolers, internal compartments and live wells. Infestations of zebra or quagga mussels can clog water systems, power and irrigation infrastructure costing Alberta up to $75 million annually and result in reduced biodiversity and recreational fishing opportunities. To fight the battle against invasive species, the province uses 60 inspectors, three mussel-sniffing dogs and two roving inspection crews. Thus far this year, three boats carrying the invasive mussels have been intercepted. In 2016, fish and wildlife officers issued 103 enforcement actions for boaters who bypassed inspection stations. RCMP, commercial vehicle enforcement and fish and wildlife, and other appointed peace officers across the province will also be checking watercraft at any time and anywhere it is safe to do so, including Camrose Fish and Wildlife officer Lorne Rinkel, who will be monitoring Highway 13 and local water bodies. Protecting our natural resources is vital in ensuring that they are available for generations to come. To report something suspicious on your boat or equipment, call 1-855-336-2628 (BOAT).

WHO can

MLA wants consumer protection

I count on?

By Murray Green

Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Bruce Hinkley introduced a private members Bill 208 on Thursday, June 1. Bill 208 will make life easier and more affordable for families and businesses by instructing the utilities consumer advocate to create an easily accessible list of complaints and bad actors in the energy and utilities market written in plain language. Albertans will have access to key information needed to make informed choices. Bill 208 will also strengthen the role of the advocate by enshrining their dispute resolution role in legislation and by enhancing their ability to ensure consumer’s complaints are resolved. “I’m proud to bring forward legislation that answers my constituents’ concerns about the utility and electricity market,” said MLA Hinkley. “If passed, Bill 208 will give them the tools they need to find a good retailer.” The utilities system and utility marketing have been the source of complaints for years. Albertans deserve to have access to information that allows them to understand who they are buying from and to compare the track records of different energy retailers. Albertans are concerned about navigating the system when in dispute with utility retail companies. This Bill will help ensure that their complaints find a resolution either with the advocate or the responsible body. While the previous government allowed instability and uncertainty to grow in Alberta utility market, Bill 208, if passed, will strengthen consumer protection, protect Albertan pocket books, and ensure they have money for the things they care about.

Healing the hearts of victims By Lori Larsen Camrose and District Victim Services (CDVS) advocates (volunteers) no doubt make a huge difference in the lives of many people in Camrose and area. One particular Victim Services member just happens to have fur and fourlegs, but as most people in Camrose will attest to, Lucy, the seven-year-old black lab, is a valuable member of the Camrose and area community.

all embraced the program and said go forward and get what you need,” said Michelle. “Then the rest of the community, including Camrose Veterinary Hospital, the courts, school children, were more than willing to have Lucy as a member of the community.” After her training with Dogs With Wings (Edmonton) Lucy arrived. “In 2013 Lucy was placed with us and within three days we hit the ground running. “On Monday she was

Looking Back

through the pages of The Booster

25 Years Ago This Week – June 9, 1992 • Museum Volunteers Ernie Johnson and Dave Fitchie were shown on the cover of The Booster preparing Ellsworth Hills’ donated 1919 Model T for the season. • Windsor Plywood advertised a 5 gallon pail of latex house paint, white tint for $64.88. • Crowfoot riding Member of Parliament Arnold Malone disclosed that he had been placed on the heart transplant program at Edmonton’s U of A Hospital. Malone, a Booster columnist, remains active and well. He currently resides in Invermere B.C. and keeps in touch with countless residents of the area.

50 Years Ago This Week – June 13, 1967 • Eaton’s, in a half page Booster ad, promoted a three-position “Mr. Recliner” for $81.50. • A premium, 1962 Volkswagen with radio, was advertised by Central Garage (Camrose) Ltd., your GM dealer, for $625. • 700 envelopes, out of 15,000 envelopes mailed, were returned in the Camrose and District Association for Retarded, Flowers of Hope Campaign with a donation of cash.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose and District Victim Services advocates, including Lucy, answer the call of duty to help heal the hurt.

Camrose and District Victim Services program coordinator and Lucy’s handler, Michelle Hauser explained that CDVS is one of two amalgamated units in Alberta providing services to both Camrose Police Service (CPS) and Camrose RCMP. “We are a volunteer run program and have 21 volunteers available for call outs of various types; death notifications, sexual assaults and court orientation.” Lucy is one of 12 dogs in Alberta working for Victim Services and court is where Lucy shines. Testifying can be a daunting experience, and for children, or as Michelle refers to them, the “littles”, it can be terrifying. In 2011, in an effort to find new ways to reach out to victims, Michelle conducted an internet search that led to one of the biggest and most successful programs for victims of crime and tragedy in Alberta. Michelle put together a business case and presented it to CPS chief and deputy chief and the Police Commission. “Camrose Police Service, Camrose RCMP, Camrose Police Commission, Victim Services Board,

introduced and by Friday the court officer along with the crown prosecutor called and said, get that dog down here. They had five littles that were to testify.” Two of the children ended up testifying and did so with Lucy under the stand keeping a close ear on them. Lucy was also called out in her first months of service to Lloydminster, when six teenagers were killed in an automobile accident, to aid in healing hearts of the people left behind. “I remember saying if she never worked another day in her life, she made a difference.” But as Camrose and area residents know Lucy did not stop there. She continues to give her service to those in need. She goes everywhere with Michelle including DARE graduations, a weekly visit to the Camrose Women’s Shelter, exam relief at Augustana, public appearances and of course her passion, court services. “We have been across the province,” commented Michelle. “She goes to every court case with every child and now she is under the stand with adults.”

Lucy is so well trained and so attuned to her job that she instinctively knows who in a room needs her comfort the most, so much so that Michelle drops the leash and simply lets Lucy do her job and fulfill her purpose of healing the hearts. “If she could drive I would be out of a job,” kidded Michelle. But without the dedication and persistence of Michelle the program may never have started in the first place. Not unlike her human counterparts, Lucy needs debriefing from continuously dealing with highly emotional situations and CPS constable John Fernhout stepped up to the plate. Without any knowledge of her work commands, Fernhout takes Lucy on “staycations” to his own home where her time with him is all about play, swimming, chasing sticks and being a dog. Camrose Police Service goes one more step in ensuring Victim Services dogs are available by having Victim Services dogs complete their training, approximately one week to 10 days, in Camrose with the assistance of Michelle, CDVS, the courts and the members of CPS. The accolades of the program hang proudly on the wall at CPS. In 2014, CDVS and Lucy were awarded the Innovation Award from the Alberta Justice and Solicitor General. In 2015, the program received the National Philanthropy Day Outreach Award as well the CDVS unit received an award for Leadership in Family Violence Prevention and most recently the program was given the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police Certificate of Crime Prevention and Community Policing Initiative. Lucy and her compadres are so sought after, they are now being subpoenaed for court which can exert some pressure on an already full schedule. “Our hope is having more and more dogs so that every victim across Canada has access to a Victim Services dog,” said Michelle. These four-legged, sweet tempered, highly focused volunteers are in high demand. Lucy, like all the other CDVS volunteers, gives back 100 per cent to the community, is 100 per cent supported by the community and 100 per cent part of the community.

May you live in interesting times By Wes Taylor, MLA

Pets deserve better health too! We sell premium quality pet foods at prices comparable and often better than big box or grocery stores. We like to see healthy, happy pets!

Battle River-Wainwright

The spring session is winding up at the Legislature. As your MLA, I find myself reflecting on events both past and immediate future. In 1966, Robert F. Kennedy delivered a speech which included the Chinese curse: “May he live in interesting times.” Well, like it or not, we do live in interesting times. Just a little over two and a half years ago, I was campaigning to be Wildrose candidate for this riding. What compelled me to run was the PC establishment’s election of pink Tory premiers like Allison Redford and Jim Prentice. I believed that we needed a strong, genuinely, conservative government. A government that is fiscally responsible, balances budgets, ensures property rights and, in general, stands up for all Albertans. Little did I know events were about to change the electoral landscape. The floor crossings in December 2014, reducing Wildrose to five MLAs, hit me hard. Jim Prentice seemed not to be listening to, and was actively insulting, Albertans. Brian Jean was a newcomer saddled with the baggage of the floor crossers, while Rachel Notley exploited disarray to catch the eye in the leadership debate. When the election came on May 5, 2015, the result was a historic 70 new MLAs and an NDP government. This has been a disaster for Alberta. By 2020, we will be over $94 billion in debt (Standard and Poors Credit Rating Agency assessment). President Ronald Reagan said the Carter administration had the policy of “If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it, and if it stops moving, subsidise it.” This is the NDP in a nutshell. While their fiscal imprudence is terrible, just as appalling is the NDPs “tell and then show” method of delivering legislation. Bill 6 was passed, but consultation did not take place until after the event. The same is true of the Carbon Tax, another piece of rushed and ill-conceived legislation. Frankly, there is a litany of bad bills and bad laws. This cannot, and must not, continue. In response, Brian Jean and Jason Kenney have presented Wildrose and PC members with a proposal. Members have been asked to consider uniting the right to create a party that speaks with one conservative voice. It would, for now, operate under a new name: the United Conservative Party. A group was formed, comprising five people from both the Wildrose and the PCs, to find common ground to put together an “agreement in principle”. They produced a nine-page document containing a number of shared founding principles: support for free enterprise, grassroots democracy and property rights, to name but a few. What happens next? On July 22, those with memberships purchased before July 8 will vote on the proposal. A 75 per cent threshold for the Wildrose is needed (51 per cent from the PCs) to ratify the agreement. If approved, a race will then be opened for the leadership. Brian Jean and Jason Kenney are declared candidates; perhaps others will throw their hat into the ring. In the meantime, folks, hold onto your hats. The next few months and years should prove to be “interesting times.” You can contact Wes Taylor, MLA Battle River-Wainwright at his office 780-842-6177 or fax 780- 842-3171.

HALEY DENNIS I love dancing because it brings self-confidence and, at Ballet Camrose, there are set levels so you can accurately measure progress. Even though I had a late start in dancing at the age of 12, I still was able to acquire the skills to dance as Clara in the production of The Nutcracker 2014!

Urkow attends restoration workshop at Reynolds Museum By Murray Green

Jason Urkow was starting on a classic vehicle project when he jumped at the opportunity to learn about restoration from the professionals at Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin. “Last August, I acquired a 1957 Buick convertible that is currently in pieces across my mother-in-law’s shop floor, as it was bought as a work in progress. We plan to restore the car over the next few years and make it into a resto-mod, where everything looks original, but underneath the car is modern,” said Jason. He and his wife Bree, who already owns a 1957 Buick four door hardtop that was originally restored by Bree’s parents back in 1989, are both excited about the “his and hers” set of cars. Jason knows a few things about restoring a vintage vehicle, but knew there was still a lot to learn. “I attended a five day restoration workshop at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin (last February) and it was great. The course really helped me understand how to properly restore a classic car. It is a far cry from working on a modern car.” On day one he learned how to organize a body-offframe, a museum-quality restoration project, how to source parts, and how to research information on assembly procedures. “They had a white ‘56 or ‘57 Thunderbird that was used as an example. This car was recently donated to the museum. They showed us

SILVER CLASSIC

Camrose car enthusiast Jason Urkow helped restore a 1957 Buick that was in his wife Bree’s family for years. Now he found a similar convertible to fix up to make a pair of classics. Jason attended a five day workshop at the Reynolds Museum to learn from the restoration experts. He will use that information to turn his pile of parts into a historic vehicle.

what they found that car was painted six times in three different colors. They found this out by grinding down a couple of areas for repair and revealing the layers of different paint. Then they used a magnet and showed us all the spots where there was

an accident and body fill was used to repair the work that they did. “They would lift the car up on to a hoist and wiggle the front wheels from side to side to show that the front steering linkage was shot. The wheel bearings were also

not good, and a variety of other things. The car was in such bad shape that they will probably not fully restore it, but make it a runner to be used around the property for their Vintage Vehicle Tours program.” The museum has a large

library of books from parts catalogs to vehicle repair manuals going back 100 years or more. This library is open to the public. “They took us on a tour of the storage warehouse that has vehicles, tractors, and planes that are not on display. Wow, there was some really nice vintage steel in that warehouse. They have the oldest (surviving) production Chevrolet vehicle in existence today. It is unrestored, but you cannot find an older Chevrolet anywhere else. They also had a wooden combine the size of a three story house,” shared Jason. Day two was about mechanical inspection and assessment. “They showed us how to evaluate the core mechanical parts of an automobile. They had brake systems and running motors on a stand and rear ends for us to observe and they showed us what to look for and how to make repairs. The instructors took apart an entire brake system and put it back together again, with tips on what to look for. Same with the engine. They had an old Buick engine and they showed us how to check it over and prep it for running if the engine has been sitting for awhile. Tips included removing the spark plugs and putting a few drops of oil in each cylinder and then turning it over with a wrench on the main camshaft,” recalled Jason. Day three was about metal finish repair on automobile bodies. Continued on page 30

Urkow learns renos from museum experts Continued from page 29

“This is where the magic happened. They demonstrated how to work the metal to get it back to its original form. They had an old 1940s Ford that they would intentionally dent and with the use of a wooden mallet, a hand anvil, a bumping tool, and some light heat they would work the dent out like it was from the factory,” he explained. “They simulated a bullet hole in a fender and with the use of a torch and some hammering, the hole would disappear. The whole class was amazed by the instructor’s talent. He would also demonstrate how to mark low spots with soap stones and body files. I found this class to be the best of the five day workshop.” Day four was on to surface preparation, paints and finishes. “We learned about different paint types, expiry dates, paint booth requirements, and block sanding with different grades of files and sandpaper. Then once painted, how to wet sand properly. This is where you take a good paint job and

make it into a great one,” said Jason. The last day was about vehicle interiors, trim, and exterior detailing. “The preservationists showed us how to take the original materials of a car and restore them to their former grandeur, or to prevent more deterioration of the materials. They always used gloves to prevent human oils from contaminating the materials, which could cause further breakdown of the materials that you want to preserve. In a perfect world you should maintain stable conditions year round. In this ideal world your storage area should never get above 21°C and the humidity should always be between 40 and 50 per cent. Generally you should try to keep the relative humidity no lower than 30 per cent. Urkow would recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning about restoring and preserving their classic vehicle. “It was an invaluable experience,” he said, “and now I’m looking forward even more to my restoration project!”

Open Door receives prestigious award By Lori Larsen On Friday, June 2, The Open Door was presented the Community Justice Award by the Alberta Ministry of Justice and Solicitor General during a formal ceremony held at the Government House in Edmonton co-hosted by Camrose Police Service (CPS) and the Government of Alberta. City of Camrose Police Service nominated The Open Door as a recipient of the prestigious award. “The Open Door is a great community partner that assists with homelessness in our community,” said City of Camrose Acting Police Chief Lee Foreman. “Providing the basic needs of food and shelter to youth gives them the ability to move forward in a positive direction. “The work that has been completed to date and the advancements that we have seen since the incep-

tion of this organization makes The Open Door such a worthy recipient of the Innovation Award. Congratulations to all those, past and present, that have worked so hard to get The Open Door to where it is today.” The 2017 Community Justice Awards ceremony recognized individuals and organizations who have improved neighbourhood safety and provided valuable support to vulnerable populations. For 26 years, the Alberta Community Justice Awards have rewarded innovative people and projects in the areas of victims’ services, youth justice, restorative justice and other crime-prevention efforts. “The recipients of this year’s Alberta Community Justice Awards are invaluable partners in ensuring our province is a safe place to live,” remarked minister

of justice and solicitor general Kathleen Ganley. “I am proud to shine a spotlight on their positive contributions and thank them for their hard work.” The ceremony was emceed by Camrose Police Service Staff Sergeant Rene Brisson. Camrose Police Service Honour Guard consisting of Constable Adam Belanger and Constable John Fernhout along with a piper escorted the award recipients to their seats and then to the platform to receive their award from justice and solicitor general deputy minister Philip Bryden. CPS Constable Matt Wilton was present to take photographs. Open Door provides transitional housing to atrisk youth aged 11 to 24, as well as assistance navigating the criminal justice system, resolving conflicts and seeking employment.

CDSS honours 50 years of helping families By Murray Green

Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) celebrated 50 years of serving the community on May 29 at the Stoney Creek Centre. Current executive director, Margaret Holliston was joined by past director Bonnie Hutchinson, staff and special guests. “I updated my records to show that Rev. Philip Grabke was the first chair of CDSS. He was the director before Evelyn Nelson and Bonnie. The CDSS directors after Bonnie were Louise Jensen, Alison Lavers, Wendy Gregg and myself,” said Margaret. Camrose County Reeve Don Gregorwich addressed the guests. “I went to the website and was amazed at the number of programs CDSS has to offer. There are programs from babies to the silver haired set, from serving meals to pounding nails,” shared Don. “To keep all of this running year after year, for 50 years, is incredible. It is an example of vision, faith and commitment. In a society that measures success by the amount of physical material you have, CDSS is a bit of a contradiction. You work with people’s feelings, emotions and in most cases success can only be measured by intangibles, actions that you see, or occur, and the emotions that happen. It is difficult to measure, however, please know that your successes have an effect on people by the strength of communities, groups and individuals.” CDSS is all about partnerships. “We have great partnerships at the local, regional and provincial level, and it is one of the most exciting places to work in my experience,” said Mar-

garet. “Take time and meet our staff because they are some of the most wonderful people in Camrose.” She introduced guest speaker Bonnie. “I learned FCSS (Family Community Social Services) from Bonnie Hutchinson. I was fortunate to work on a number of research consulting contracts with Bonnie in the 80s. In the 90s, I had the opportunity to work on a lot of FCSS projects. I worked on the Working Together project, the handbook and

other projects and I got to talk with FCSS directors across the province,” shared Margaret. “It was great to find out about the variety of programs that were offered across the province and they partnered with Alberta and Canada. FCSS turned 50 last year, we turned 50 this year.” Margaret’s excitement for FCSS came form Bonnie. “What is now CDSS was called Camrose and District Preventive Social

Services. I have to tribute past councillors, city and county, for supporting this program. Unlike now, municipalities were directly involved in public assistance and in child protection services,” Bonnie said. “The level of service varied wildly across the province and they thought that all children should have access to the same level of care. There were examples of names of people (on welfare) being read out in public at municipal coun-

cil meetings,” shared Bonnie. “We have come along ways since 1966-67. There were examples of children who were apprehended for things like ‘their mother dyed her hair,’ which clearly meant she was an unfit mother.” Preventive Social Services was formed to strengthen families and communities. “Alberta (Premier Ernest Manning) was committed to helping people and the Canada Assistance Program offered the opportunity and the funding,” explained Bonnie. “This was a voluntary program and Camrose was one of the early takers of that offer. It was still controversial that municipalities, especially rural, would be concerned with the social part of the community. So the idea was a stretch for some. The second contrast was to form a multi-municipality program. It not only involved the city and county, but seven villages and the Town of Bashaw as well.” It wasn’t an easy choice. Often neighbouring municipalities didn’t work together. “It was a good choice to work together for everybody’s highest good to care for the well-being of the whole family, or community and not just individual interests.” Evelyn Nelson, a former program director was ahead of her time. “At that time it was unusual for a director to be a woman. She became an important friend and mentor to me. She invited me to be part of something called Family Life Education, which offered workshops about healthy communication and relationships within families. From there, I became a volunteer and later as the first Family Life Education coordinator and eventually the program director.” CDSS started children’s day care outside of the major cities, added home support services and early childhood education. “CDSS is able to notice things that are happening in the community and begin to pull together people,” said Bonnie. “Many programs were started by CDSS and then went on to have their identities. Two that I remember working on that I enjoyed the most were setting up a crisis line and the creation of the handi-van.” CDSS programs today include home support, preschool, family resources and parent link services, family violence, Oscar, rural community, literacy project, CAFCL kitchen, boys and girls club, library newcomers, habitat and options for seniors.

Local players hoping for NHL call on draft day By Murray Green

Two former Camrose Minor Hockey players are hoping they hear their name called at the National Hockey League Draft. The 2017 draft will be held on June 23 and 24 at the United Center in Chicago, IL. Prince Albert Raiders player, Parker Kelly made his first appearance on the NHL Central Scouting lists this season, ranking 192nd amongst North American skaters. “As a team, we were in a rebuilding year. Individually, I had a pretty good season. I’m focusing on each day now to get better all of the time. Next year, the future is looking bright for our team,” said Parker. “Through some good trades, our team was better in the second half. Last year, I was a third- and fourthline player. This year, I was bumped up to the first and second line power play units, so I played more. After the trades, the chemistry was a lot better and it led to more chances.” The Camrose player finished the season with 21 goals and 22 assists in 72 games. Most of his points came in the second half of the season as the 17-yearold had 29 points in 30 games following the Western Hockey League trade deadline. “I started playing with better shooters and passers and I’m a straight-line player, so I definitely benefitted from playing with those guys,” added Parker. “Tim Green’s Hockey Development camp is a good skills camp and it has helped me work on my hands and skills, rather than systematic play. I’ve known Tim a long time and he has helped with my development a lot.” He said the biggest difference between minor hockey and the WHL is not on the ice. “Not living at home is the biggest adjustment. I have good billets and support system. The size and speed increases every year. I’m working on getting stronger in the gym.” Parker plans on going back to Prince Albert next season, but his longer term goal is to progress to the American Hockey League and eventually the NHL. “You never know what’s going to happen, but there are several ways to get to the NHL and I think I can make it. Whether I get drafted or not, the plan is to work hard every day.” That work ethic started in Camrose. “I played here throughout my minor

hockey years, starting from Atom. I have had good coaching, which prepared me for moving on to the next level. Brandon Heck, Tim Green and Chad Kendall all helped develop me and I have great praise for them. Camrose has a great minor hockey system and I wouldn’t have wanted to play anywhere else,” he continued. He played a few games with the Camrose Kodiaks as a 15-year-old, but after getting drafted to the WHL he left his dream of playing for the hometown team. “Everything seemed to fit for me and it was a good choice. I’m not a big guy, so I have to use my speed.” Ethan McIndoe of the Spokane Chiefs earned recognition in the final NHL Central Scouting rankings on the North American skaters list. “I had a bigger role on the team this season. It was another learning year and I worked hard, so the coach gave me more opportunities,” said Ethan. “By putting me in different situations, it helped me grow as a hockey player. I developed more this year and it felt good all year long. I don’t like to judge myself by points. I’ve always been a hard worker and try to do all of the little things right and, when I do them right, I’m scoring.” McIndoe, a winger from Camrose, jumped nine spots from 141st to 132nd after completing his second season in Spokane with 17 goals and nine assists for 26 points. He recorded six multi-point games (three multi-goal) and was recognized as the Chiefs’ Hardest Working Player. “Getting drafted is not a for-sure thing. Going to a camp like this (Tim Green) helps me with puck handling skills and making plays.”

AJHL rookies

Cody Laskosky of New Norway is an 17-year-old rookie forward who produced 30 points in his first 40 AJHL games with the Whitecourt Wolverines of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Kyler Kupka of the Camrose Kodiaks was also on the radar of NHL teams until he was hurt halfway through the season. Both players will be counted on to keep improving for next season.

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.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, June 6, 2017 – Page 37

Johnson helps BMO celebrate 112 years By Murray Green

Calvin Johnson of Edberg wasn’t around when BMO (Bank of Montreal) opened a branch in Camrose 112 years ago. However, he has been around long enough to remember when the bank changed its original name to Bank of Montreal in 1922. The soon to be 97-yearold farmer recalled going to the bank in about 1948 or 1949 to get his first loan during an anniversary celebration on May 31. “The bank was at the north end of Main Street back then. I remember having to climb lots of stairs to get in the bank,” he laughed. “I went in to get a loan to buy a tractor and the manager was D. V. Gilmour. At first he wanted my mother to cosign the loan. I came back the next day and told him she didn’t want to do it at her age and he said we will figure a way around that,” recalled the sharp Calvin. “I got to know him pretty good. He was good to me, so I have been a BMO customer for about 68 years. I never missed a payment, so the bank was there for me for other loans over the years.” Calvin’s first tractor was an Oliver 88, a 1948 model. “I still have that tractor,” said the proud owner. “And, I still live on the same farm I was born at.” About three years ago, he decided to slow down a little and sell off his cattle. “I was getting a little slow at chasing them around,” said Calvin, who barely uses his cane. “I remember going to the bank for a loan in 1962 to purchase another quarter of land. Back then it was $25 an acre. I guess that seemed like a lot in those days.” Back on May 31, 1905 the bank rented part of R.B. Price’s general store to start operations in the Hamlet of Sparling. The hamlet only had 50 people, but it showed promise of growing and BMO helped make that happen. BMO Financial Group was originally a branch of the Merchants Bank of Canada, but merged with the Bank of Montreal in 1922. In March 1951, BMO purchased the 1928-built Masonic Building (now Inspirations) at the corner of 50 Avenue and 50 Street. Calvin has seen his share of managers. Gilmour was the manager in 1949, followed by Dan Purcell in 1958, Jack A. Barr in 1962, J. D. Roddis in 1972, Lyle J. Moore in 1976

With June being Stroke Month Alberta Health Services is reminding people to be aware of the signs of a stroke and be prepared to take immediate action. A stroke is a sudden loss of brain function caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of blood vessels in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). The interruption of blood flow or the rupture of blood vessels causes brain cells (neurons) in the affected area to die. Depending on what part of the brain was injured and how much damage there is, the effects of a stroke can vary. A stroke can impact mobility, sight, memory, speech, reason, and the ability to read and write. Symptoms Symptoms of a stroke can vary with each person or case but as a general rule the following are the most common. Sudden numbness, tingling, weakness, or loss of movement in your face, arm, or leg, especially on only one side of your body. Sudden vision changes. Sudden trouble speaking. Sudden confusion or trouble understanding simple statements. Sudden problems with walking or balance. A sudden, severe headache that is different from past headaches. An easy acronym to remember when determining if you or someone else may be suffering from a stroke is FAST. Face. Is it drooping? Arms. Can you raise both? Speech. Is it slurred or jumbled? Time. Do not wait and call emergency services immediately. If at any time you think you or someone else may be suffering from a stroke act immediately and call 911 right away. This could mean the difference between a better recovery or even survival. Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
