Thirty-three Special Olympics athletes from Camrose and area, along with their coaches and other volunteers, will be fiercely competing to set personal best times in the swim lanes, deeply focused on a convincing hit to those five pins at the end of that perfectly polished bowling alley, shooting hoops from all directions, and pounding the ball out of the park in Medicine Hat, July 7th through 9th, in a quest to move on to the Canada Games in Prince Edward Island next summer. Athletes have been training weekly, or more, in hopes of setting personal and team goals. Camrose businesses and individuals have been generous with their time and money in helping the Special Olympics program grow and thrive. It is this compassionate and enduring support that will allow the swimming, five-pin bowling, basketball and softball teams to attend the games in Southern Alberta this coming weekend.

Golf hole in one shots in Camrose

By Murray Green

The number of hole in one shot results have been fewer so far this season.

Ken Duggan, also known for his curling

shots, had a hole in one on June 27 at the Camrose Golf Course.

On number 11, Ken used a nine iron to sink his shot in 122 yards.

The first hole in one for the season was reported by Steve Haugen on hole number four over 160 yards on May 21.

Baseball Axemen take two games from Westlock Red Lions

By Murray Green

It was the Camrose Axemen men’s baseball team that roared on June 25.

Camrose swept a doubleheader from the Westlock Red Lions, 5-2 and 9-3 at Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park. This was the first sweep by the Axemen over Westlock in North Central Alberta Baseball League history.

The Axemen improved its record to 3-6 in league play. Stony Plain Mets lead the league with a 7-1 record and then five clubs have five wins each.

In the first game, Camrose scored four runs in the

fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie and went on to win 9-3.

Shaun Painter led the offence with three hits including a double. Joe Pasychynk chipped in with two hits.

Shawn Noble tossed seven innings from the mound to pick up a complete game victory. He allowed three runs on six hits and four walks, while striking out five.

Camrose kept the offence going in the second outing by scoring a run in the first and adding two more in the second inning to coast to a 5-2 win.

Cal Zimmer collected

two hits and Jordan Riopel clubbed a double to pace the Axemen attack.

On the mound, Kyle Muzechka earned the win by pitching six innings allowing

Kenney urges people to vote for unity

By Murray Green

Jason Kenney made it clear that members of the PC Alberta Party and the Wildrose Party should vote on the question of uniting both parties on July 22.

Kenney, the leader of the PC party, and Wildrose leader Brian Jean are promoting unity in order to form the next Alberta government in 2019. He visited the Camrose Resort Casino on June 28 with a full house of supporters.

Once the grassroots members of both parties vote on the unity agreement, the leaders will have an election in October and start preparing to replace the governing NDPs. “Alberta has been good to us and all of us have been blessed. Our ancestors have built one of the most prosperous places in the world. I’m here today to say we can no longer take that for granted,” said Kenney. “We need to fight for it. Right now, we have a government that is doing great damage to the idea of Alberta. We can best care for the unfortunate among us and be a passionate caring society by being a prosperous one first. We understand you cannot redistribute wealth through government unless someone is out

PC leader Jason Kenney in Camrose.

there creating it in the first place.”

Kenney compared the current government to a statement made across the water. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once said that, ‘the problem with socialism is, that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to spend.’

“That is what is happening with the government in racking up what

will be a $94 billion debt by 2020. They don’t care about our future. It’s not just bad for the economy; I actually think it is immoral,” shared Kenney. “It takes money from future generations and spends it now without them having a say in it. It is a trans-generational transfer of wealth and it is just wrong. It is against Alberta values.”

This province is suffering its longest and deepest

depression in its history.

About 200,000 Albertans are out of work, according to Kenney.

“This province had a stronger economy, lower unemployment and a better fiscal position with under $15 to $20 a barrel of oil in the past than we do today with $45 a barrel.

About $30 billion of investments have been pulled out of Alberta in the last couple of years.”

He pointed out the government has done this damage in two years. “Imagine if the NDP are elected for another term. These ideals will be hard-wired through the education system.”

Kenney spoke about the vote split between PC and Wildrose supporters. If combined, they would have won the election. We could spend all day, month, year dissecting why the NDP won the election. But, it is time we unite to defeat them in the next election, to take our province back and get it on track.”

He encouraged people to purchase memberships and to have a vote in the unity question and then in the leadership election.

“We want the members to decide the future of the parties. This (NDP) is not a pragmatic government, it is an ideological government. They never expected to be in power and now that they are, every day in office is almost like a spiritual experience,” Kenney joked. “As long as we are united, I don’t have a problem with a snap election. I say hallelujah, every day that they are not in power, is a good day for Alberta.”

Jumpstart chapter assists with children’s activities

By Murray Green

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities help children participate in sport and physical activity by assisting families to overcome the financial barriers associated with registration, equipment and transportation costs.

A national charity with a local focus, Jumpstart makes sure every child has an equal opportunity to participate. Canadian Tire is encouraging customers to donate at their local store to ensure it leaves a positive and lasting impact on children.

“Last year, the Camrose Chapter of Jumpstart Charities helped 154 Camrose-area children by raising $30,799.

The local chapter includes FGL Sports (Sport Chek), Mark’s Work Warehouse and Canadian Tire to assist children to play sports, or help with programs that get children active,” said local Canadian Tire store owner Dave Jewell. “This goes to children who otherwise would not have been able to get involved. The funds covered things like registration, transportation fees, equipment and training,” said Jewell.

Over the past 12 years, the Camrose chapter has helped 932 children and disbursed funds through the Camrose Minor Sports

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Canadian Tire assistant manager Bobbi Liebl, left and owner Dave Jewell, centre, accepted $500 from Camrose Swan and Roses Lions Club members Larry Sharuga, Gloria Sharuga and Mary Cunningham. The National Canadian Tire company matched the amount, as did the local Canadian Tire store to bring the amount to $1,500. This is the fifth straight year the Lions club has donated to Jumpstart.

Association Help Fund, Camrose Boys and Girls Club and the Flagstaff Community Foundation to local families.

“We simply want to ask the community for their support in helping children achieve their goals of getting active. If they are able to, we ask that people make a donation, and/or purchase a puck (orange road hockey puck) to contribute,” he said.

The Jumpstart program funds more than 70 different types of physical

activities and families can apply for funding for activities like dance, Taekwon-do, baseball and figure skating. Jumpstart is national in scope, but local in focus.

“Funds that are raised in our community stay in the local community. Historically, we have had a large donor base in Alberta and the strong economy meant that there wasn’t as much demand for support. This has shifted and we want to let local families know that there is still help available,” explained Jewell.

Of children helped by Jumpstart Charities in Camrose in 2016, 39 per cent were girls and 61 per cent were boys.

Jumpstart helps children four to 18 from financially disadvantaged families get in the game by helping to cover the costs of registration, equipment and/or transportation.

Playing sports and participating in physical activity helps equip kids for life with essential skills such as self-esteem, leadership and teamwork.

Jewell credits the local community partners for their support of Jumpstart.

“Jim Cook with the Minor Sports Association Help Fund and Rees James at the Camrose Boys and Girls Club have really assisted us in making sure the funds go to the people who are in need. They have been tremendous to work with in Camrose,” added Jewell.

Canadian Tire Corporation funds the general and administrative expenses of the charity, so all donations made to Jumpstart go directly to helping children participate in the sport or activity of their choice. “We are community focused. All of our customer donations stay in the community in which the donation was made to help local children get in the game. This is very important to most people. When you purchase a puck, or make a donation, you are helping a Camrosearea child participate in programs,” said Jewell.

If you know a child that wants to play sports or take part in physical activities, but can’t afford to, call 1-844-YES-PLAY, or visit jumpstart.canadiantire.ca to apply.

You can also apply with Jim Cook at Leisure Services. Applications are kept confidential.

Augustana seeks 1960s local high school students for drama study

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus is asking for community help in participating in a fall course.

No, you don’t have to go back to university or high school. You only have to share your high school experience during the 1960s decade.

The course entitled The Time of Our Lives will be taught by professor Paul “Sparky” Johnson. “Ideally, we would like to match one community member to each of the 25 students taking the class. Most of these students would have graduated in 2017. We want people who graduated any year in the 1960s. Students will study a year in the 60s and then talk to someone about their experiences. It would be great to match the year the student studied to the year of the person who graduated. The community members would have been the same age of the students who are taking the course,” offered Paul.

“Making memories is an integral part of being human and memory shapes not only our world view, but our place in history,” Paul said. “We want first-year university students to listen to stories from community members and then turn it into an art form. Remanence theatre

is taking those stories and turning them into theatre.

We will use music from the 60s and that in itself will invoke all kinds of memories in people. It will be a lot of fun.”

In this course, students will transform research into scenes, which may take the form of monologues, poetry, music, movement, etc.

“Together, we will create an oral history of a specific place and time by tapping into the memories of a target group of Camrose seniors, a group still active in the community and who, in the 1960s, was roughly the same age as today’s university students,” explained Paul.

The course will integrate collective discovery into theatrical presentation using historical research and verbatim memories as its basis.

After students spend time engaging with the group of seniors, the course will culminate in a dramatic production based on the memories they gather, which will be performed for the very same seniors who inspired their stories.

The course is one of the innovative and exciting options being offered to firstyear students. Beginning this September, all incoming Augustana students will be registered in a first-year

seminar course designed to introduce them to university life.

“These seminars will be small, intensive and discussion-based, and are set to introduce students to the high-impact learning that they should anticipate, and need to be familiar with, during university studies.

Although focused on one topic, these seminars will be interdisciplinary in nature and will ensure that students begin their university career in an exciting way that promotes a successful journey throughout the remainder of their time in university,” he said of the Augustana web page direction.

“Views about and on society have changed. It will be an interesting dialogue between students of two different time periods.”

It is anticipated that the participating group of seniors will need to devote one morning per week for each of the three weeks the course is active.

“For the first meeting, we’ll put on the coffee and invite the group to become audience members for the students’ initial research presentations on things that happened in the 1960s.”

School calendar change

By Murray Green

Battle River School Division board of trustees approved the 2017-18 school calendar with less instructional days and more staff learning days.

In order to ensure all school staff are well equipped to meet the needs of students, BRSD has made the decision to add extra staff collaboration and learning days.

These learning days will be provided for all staff who work within schools. “We believe that providing this opportunity for all school staff to gain knowledge and skills will ultimately benefit all students,” said superintendent of Schools Rita Marler.

To accommodate the extra staff learning days, students will be asked to spend up to 15 minutes more, per day, in the classroom to ensure they receive the number of instruction hours needed.

“Every school in the division will be asked to adjust the number of minutes in their school day slightly next year in order to ensure that students receive the required number of instructional hours, even if they are at school for fewer overall days,” said Diane Hutchinson, community relations advisor.

“The adjustments in minutes will vary from school to school, but the overall change is expected to be less than 15 minutes per day at any school.”

The schools will be closed for 10 more days next year. “On five of those days, staff will be at school for training and learning days. The other five days off will be compensation for working longer days throughout the school year,” explained Diane. “It is a hybrid between a fourand a five-day week. This is a way to provide more skill development days to better support students.”

The addition of extra staff collaboration and learning days is seen as a very positive move by the BRSD trustees.

“Students have a widerange of needs,” said board chair Laurie Skori. “It’s our responsibility to ensure staff have the skills they need. We believe this is a very positive step in making sure students can succeed at school.”

Each school may have different end times or break times because of bus schedules.

School staff start the fall season on Aug. 30. The first day for students is on Sept. 5. The last day of classes before Christmas is on Dec. 22 and school resumes on Jan. 8. The spring school year ends on June 28.

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson What’s your favourite “Canadian” food?

“Canadians eat fried flour and tree sap!”

When my sister was a college student, one of her friends from Asia opened her eyes to the fact that not everyone ate the way our small town prairie family ate. One day my sister was delighted that the college cafeteria special was roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy—one of her favourites. Her Asian friend was wondering what he would eat that day. The thought of cooked cow and potatoes smothered in animal grease repelled him.

He was the one who said, “Canadians eat fried flour and tree sap!” It took my sister a minute to figure out he was talking about pancakes and maple syrup. ***

Growing up, our main meal of the day was pretty standard: fried meat (roast beef on Sunday), boiled potatoes (occasionally mashed), boiled vegetables and a slice of tomato so we had vitamins. Dessert (if any) was usually canned fruit, occasionally with cookies. Our idea of variety was frying or baking the potatoes instead of boiling them.

Meat meant beef. We’d specify if it was pork. Occasionally it would be chicken; almost never fish.

I know we had a proper combination of protein, starch, vitamins and minerals, decent nutrition according to the Canada Food Guide of the time.

Labour laws

I am a card-carrying member of the Wildrose Alliance Party here in Alberta.

I understand that the party which I support believes the new labour laws, which were just passed in the legislature, will be a huge burden

on business in Alberta. They believe that businesses will not be able to afford to hire any more new workers.

Alberta has fallen behind when it comes to protecting people from actions made by their employers against them. This is protection for many Albertans who do not have the protection of a union. These are fundamental rights which every worker should expect to have wherever they live in this country.

Times are tough for everybody in this province.

Businesses and families all need to raise money to pay their bills. I do not support many things, which this government has done. But this is one of the few things on which I do support them.

If people do not have the

funds they need to pay their basic bills, I assure you that many businesses will not be supported. If this happens, our whole economic structure will fail and many children and people will suffer.

Child care is so expensive and at times unaffordable.

So, businesses cannot afford not to give these fundamental rights to those who make it possible for their success. Without workers, a business will fail. Without customers, a business will fail.

These changes are necessary to catch us up with the rest of the country. Businesses in other provinces can afford new workers. What makes Albertan businesses any different?

BRCF grant protects grasslands

***

In our (then) small town, I did learn that not everyone ate that way. Ukrainian friends had pyrogies and cabbage rolls. Norwegian friends had lefse and lutefisk (lefse I liked; lutefisk not so much). We sometimes had Chinese food–though I now understand it was a prairieized version. I loved to visit one of my friend’s homes after school on Tuesdays because that was the day her mother made Danish pastry.

I think of the pioneer women who fed families of eight or more children, and threshing crews, working from a coal and wood stove. Refrigeration was a root cellar or hanging things down the well. ***

I thought about Canadian food and the food of my childhood when I read about an adventure of two Toronto chefs on June 21, our longest day of the year.

Chefs Kevin Durkee and Danial Craig did a one-day sixcity Canadian tour, in search of “quintessential Canadian ingredients.” Beginning on Canada Day, they used these ingredients in a Taste of Canada menu at the Toronto Ritz-Carlton’s restaurant.

Here’s what the two chefs experienced on their coast-to-coast tour: 12 midnight Atlantic time, Charlottetown–fresh Atlantic lobster, PEI potatoes and Montreal cheese curds; 6 a.m. Atlantic time, Halifax–Wild blueberries, local granola and yogurt; 11 a.m. Eastern time, Ottawa–from the Byward Market, local cheeses from Ottawa Valley and Quebec with drizzles of maple butter; 2 p.m. Eastern time, Toronto–from the St. Lawrence Market, a Toronto signature peameal bacon sandwich with locally brewed cider and cold beer; 7:30 p.m.– Mountain time, Calgary–ribeye and T-bone steaks (of course) with Caesar cocktails (Calgary being the birthplace of the Caesar); 11:30 p.m. Pacific time, Vancouver–wild Sockeye Salmon and Kusshi oysters. ***

As an adult, I’ve learned two things I didn’t realize as a child.

1. Cooking can be a joy and a pleasure, not just one more thing to fit into the day’s multiple responsibilities.

2. There can be more to a meal than fried meat and boiled potatoes and vegetables. Who knew?

Battle River Community Foundation treasurer, Imogene Walsh, left, presents a $2,500 cheque to Glenys Smith of the Historical Society to be used to help purchase gates and stiles for the Meeting Creek grasslands project.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to Canadian Northern (Meeting Creek) Historical Society to assist with the purchase and installation of gates and stiles at the grassland remediation site adjacent to the Meeting Creek Railway station/museum.

The grant is from income from the Ken and Iris Drever 50th Anniversary Fund and the Samm Family Fund, both creat-

ed to support projects and programs with an environmental focus.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and facilities, 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 orga-

nizations 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 operated by organizations like the Canadian Northern (Meeting Creek) Historical Society.

So, what’s your favourite Canadian food? (My definition: if it’s prepared in Canada, that makes it Canadian!)

I’d love to hear from you. Send me a note at Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com and I’ll joyfully reply. If you ask, I’ll even share my mom’s recipe for lemon meringue pie, with fond mouth-watering memories of the occasions when she had time to make it.

Grand Slam of Curling event here

By Murray Green

Camrose has hosted major curling events in the EnCana Arena in the past.

However, none of them were as big as the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling Meridian Canadian Open to be held on Jan 16 to 21, 2018.

Former Lougheed curler and Olympic Games gold medal champion KevKevin Martin explains the Grand Slam of Curling event.

in Martin and the Rogers/ Sportsnet event management team started the countdown to the event on June 26 in Camrose.

“I want to thank the Rose City Curling Club (RCCC) and host committee for bringing this event to Camrose. This will be our sixth event in the arena and another first class event. We are very excited to be hosting,” said event chair Neil Bratrud.

“We are the only series that have international curlers as part of our field. Entry is by merit. We look at the world rankings before each event and those teams are invited. Only the best of the best teams will be coming to Camrose. You will see the best teams in the world,” said Rob DePodesta, manager, integrated sales and sponsorships of the Grand Slam of Curling.

The Grand Slam of Curling has grown from four to seven events. “We care about embedding ourselves into the community.

We don’t just roll in and roll out. We want to leave a legacy for the community. We provide 75 telecasts and more than 200 hours of live television in the series.

Between 27 and 30 hours of television will be from Camrose,” said DePodesta.

“We will have the best 16

men’s and 16 best women’s teams in a triple knockout format. That means if you lose three games, you go home.”

The Grand Slam of Curling has a junior program for children, where junior curlers will have the opportunity to curl on the same ice as the professionals.

“This is home for me, I’m originally from Lougheed, so my mom and dad were super stoked that this event is coming here,” said Martin. “I loved triple knockout when I was playing because it is a different mindset than round robin.

Winning “A” gives you the hammer and “B” has an advantage over “C” when the hammer (last rock) is concerned. When it is round robin you have that life or death situation. Is it triple knockout, not really. You want to come out of “A” and that is where the winners come out of. That is what I thought when I played and I really enjoyed it.”

He went on to say the timing is perfect. “I fly out to the Olympics on Feb. 2, I imagine most of the players will fly out a little sooner than that. This means that the Grand Slam of Curling is the last event to prepare for the Olympic Games. Not all of the Olympic teams

will qualify for this Camrose event, because it’s only the top 16 teams in the world. The Olympic Games qualifying teams will be bringing in their total entourage and treat it like an early Olympics. The timing is so good.”

At ice level there will be a Pinty’s On Ice Pub and Grill with the best seats in the building. “What a great invention. We drew it out on a napkin. We started with a bar and 20,000 square feet.

We took it to the facilities manager at Sportsnet. It is like an end zone club in football. Sit and have a drink. What we didn’t expect is that the coaches and players went in there to watch with a bird’s eye view. Next thing you know people are mingling with players. I think it will keep growing and evolving. All you need is a ticket. Now people are not waiting to get in the rink, they are waiting to get to the lounge to be closer to the curlers.”

Martin retired in 2014, but the game has changed in that short time. “The amount of work put in by a curler is even harder now.

You have to practice so much and it is a career now from August to May. You don’t have a big summer any longer.

Increase to councillors’ remuneration sparks debate

By Lori Larsen

City of Camrose council members were somewhat split on a recommendation to receive a draft policy on updates to council support and remuneration during the regular council meeting on June 12. As a result, the report was tabled until the June 19 meeting.

A motion was carried during the June 19 meeting that council approve the Council Support and Remuneration Report and Policy with the councillor base pay amounts adjusted to five per cent with an annual CPI increment each year over the four year term, and meal expenses reimbursed at rates equivalent to those published in the current expense policy for employees, and that all the remaining recommendations remain as is.

Part of the amended motion, as advised by city manager Malcolm Boyd, also included an amendment to the Meal Reimbursement on Schedule “A” to read. “Meal expenses will be reimbursed at rates equivalent to those published in the current expense policy for employees.”

In the report drafted by a Citizens’ Committee, comprised of past city councillor Daryl Shillington, University of Alberta

Augustana Campus dean Allen Berger and retired municipal financial auditor and current Camrose Transportation Advisory Committee chair David Kotyk, recommendations were made to increase councillor remuneration by 9.61 per cent, per annum, over the next four years, beginning in 2018. This recommendation was based on a review of comparable communities and took into account the fact that most communities have seven members, whereas the City of Camrose has nine.

Other recommendations in the report included the following changes to the existing policy.

An annual capped amount of $3,500 per councillor per year ($7,000 for mayor) for training to a total annual budget of $35,000.

Provisions to allow individual councillors to request approval from council for additional training funds.

Per diem payment will be provided to compensate for the additional time spent for training ($200 per full day, $100 per half day). Per diem payments will only be provided for time associated with training, not for other City related business activities.

The creation of a sepa-

rate budget for non-training related business travel ($5,000) for all of council.

Council discusses

Councillor David Ofrim voiced his concern about voting on an increase for councillors. “The rate of the incline is a little steep.

I wonder if it could have been over an eight-year period instead of four-year period. We want to keep our salary and employees at par with other municipalities to keep it competitive for them to stay here and be fair to them.”

Councillor Wayne Throndson suggested a compromise regarding the salary increase for councillors. “I am comfortable with all of the other report recommendations. My suggestion is to reduce the 9.61 to five per cent plus CPI and go with that for the next council for the next four years.”

Councillor Max Lindstrand reminded council that this increase would affect the next council.

“It would kick in for the next councillors. So, in affect, this council is not voting itself an increase.

It won’t affect this council except for any incumbents who might be successful in getting re-elected.”

Councillor Bill Sears stood behind his original

motion made during the June 12 meeting to accept the report in its entirety.

“We need to focus on the fact that this is a catch-up, that councillors in Camrose were underpaid in comparison to other municipalities. I don’t think council needs to be afraid to take what is fair and reasonable. It is time for Camrose to catch up and, if you spread it out over a longer period of time, you will never catch up.”

Sears added that the present council has a responsibility to the next council to ensure they are remunerated fairly and comparable to similar municipalities.

Councillor Kevin Hycha expressed his concern about the optics of an increase at a time when the economy is still not good.

“It is not that I disagree with council trying to catch up and applaud the committee who put in the hard work to put this report together, but the economy is not good and we still have a ways to go before I would feel comfortable in anybody getting a raise right now.

“The optics of this increase are not good and, as a councillor representing the City the way we do, I think we should step back and agree

with councillor Throndson and come to a compromise. I would be in favour of a five per cent increase as opposed to the 9.61.”

Throndson agreed with the optics of a 9.61 increase and added, “What I don’t want to see happen is a group of people who have to give up salary to come here. Many of us don’t have to hire staff when we come to a council meeting, or committee meetings, or whatever business related to the City.

“There are people out there who would have to and it is that group of people who would be at risk of not running for council if it is an economic drain for them. I agree that sitting on city council is a service, but I think we have to be careful so that being able to run is open to all.

“It serves the City of Camrose to catch up and make sure the council is paid fairly so it is economical.”

Currently one third of an elected official’s salary is tax exempt. In 2019, this exemption will no longer be provided which will result in a decrease in the net pay received. Given this tax change, the outcome of the five per cent pay increase will ultimately result in a net pay decrease over the next four year term.

Camrose to host Grand Slam of Curling event Continued from page 9

The season is spiking, but so is the popularity.

The biggest change came in 2001 when these Grand Slams came into play and younger curlers came on board and were athletes.

That is when the average age dropped from 36 to 27. When the young players started to win, it

changed the season,” said Martin.

“People will come from all over to watch.

Curling fans are loyal and will come to Camrose to take part in this event.

The Olympic curlers will be coming from all over.

This will be neat for the fans to watch. I spent tons of time in Camrose

as a kid because it was the place to get everything, even so much as a pizza. It will be great for Camrose to have this event.”

It will be the biggest draw for curling. “This is the sixth and by far the biggest event. We have two really good youth curling programs in Cam-

rose. One is the Little Rockers for children up to Grade 6 that is taught by the University of Alberta Augustana program.

The second is the Camrose Academy of Curling for junior and senior high curlers,” explained Ken Duggan, RCCC event coordinator and Grand Slam ticketing and mar-

keting coordinator. “Having a junior event with this will be very good for the game and they will enjoy it.”

Sportsnet will be managing the event with local involvement. “We will be putting out a call to volunteers and ticket sales will be starting soon,” said Duggan.

Kodaly Symposium draws international attention

By Lori Larsen

Camrose will be welcoming a delegation of local, national and international guests to the city during the 23rd International Kodály Symposium and Music Festival to be held Aug. 8 through 13 at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

Augustana associate professor of music Ardelle Ries presented Camrose City council with an update on the progress of the upcoming symposium.

She began by thanking council for supporting the symposium.

“Thanks to you, we have a very nice sign on the west end on Highway 13, just under the Canada 150 sign. Your support for advertising was deeply appreciated.

“Also, thanks to you, we were able to use the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre for a concert that will take place on Thursday, Aug. 10.”

Camrose guests

Ries informed council on the amount of people expected to attend the symposium. “We have a number of invited guests and presenters from around the world.”

Ries indicated to date the symposium has 185 paid, full delegates for the conference, along with 25 special guest presenters.

“In total, we have about 210 people from all over the world that will be coming to Camrose and, on top of that, we have 100 performers involved with the Symposium Music Festival, including a steel drum band from Texas Tech University,” said Ries.

“All told, there will be about 300 people directly involved with the symposium in Camrose plus their families or other people who come along to explore what Central Alberta has to offer.”

Ries indicated that, although the actual event runs from Aug. 8 through the 13, some attendees will begin arriving on Friday, Aug. 4.

Symposium finance

Since the first presentation to council in April 2015, the committee has been working diligently on securing funds to host the event.

Funds raised to date include: WIRTH Institute $8,000, City of Camrose $2,500, Canadian Hungarian Cultural Society $3,000, BRCF $4,000, university (Augustana Campus) donation of free facilities and cash donation of $1,500 from the Choral Endowment and $3,000 from the Conference Fund, Folk Ways Alive $2,000, Kodály Society of Canada and Alberta Kodály Association seed money of $3,500 and Social Sciences and Research Council contribution of $45,580 (not all will be used for the symposium), individual donations of $4,000 for a total to date of $77,000.

Ries spoke about the grant provided by the Social Sciences Research Council through the university that will provide summer employment to help with the symposium.

“I have also made an application to the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, but we will not find out

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster University of Alberta Augustana Campus is proud to host the 23rd International Kodály Symposium and Music Festival from Aug. 8 to 13. Pictured left to right seated at piano Deanna Robillard, standing Ardelle Ries, Valerie Bailey, Jordan Anderson, and front of piano Charlene Brown and Eric Skretting, are working diligently at organizing a music packed experience for Camrose and area residents.

about that until November,” added Ries.

“The whole event is going to be about $200,000 to put on and so we are still going to be working pretty hard hoping we either come out even or come out in the black.”

During the June 12 regular council meeting, council members voted to approve an additional $7,500 of funding, to a total of $10,000, from the Community Assistance Fund to further assist the Kodály Symposium.

Other details

Ries spoke about some of the other details involved with hosting the event.

“In terms of challenges, one of the things we are having a bit of challenge on which you could maybe

give some advice, is with airport-to-city transportation.

“Through the university, we do have a 24-person van. As well, we do have a University of Alberta approved driver.”

Ries explained the symposium committee are compiling information from guests coming to Camrose for the Symposium on flight schedules and transportation needs.

Other considerations for transportation include volunteers (with proper liability forms and coverage) to help drive VIPs, Camrose taxi services, car and ride-sharing and the possibility of Camrose Community Bus offering a route during the week to accommodate guests.

To ensure available accommodations for guests to Camrose during the Symposium, the committee has booked three hotels in town.

The symposium will also include a trade fair taking place in the forum at Augustana.

Councillor Agnes Hoveland expressed her appreciation for the work already done by the committee in bringing this event to Camrose. “This is truly an example of putting Camrose, the university and Augustana in particular, on the map and is different from anything else we have experienced.”

Celebrating the gift of trees

Jubilee Park

By Lori Larsen We sit under them in the summer appreciating the cool shade they provide, enjoying the songs of the birds they house but most importantly thriving on the oxygen they release.

So the next time you take a deep breath remember this: it takes about seven or eight trees, roughly, to produce enough oxygen for one person annually.

For that reason, alone

it is vital we keep our trees healthy in turn they will keep us healthy.

On Thursday, July 6, Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Society will be hosting another weekly event at the Stoney Creek Centre at 7 p.m. featuring the City of Camrose parks director Chris Clarkson and arborist Kim Vassberg.

“They will speak about their work keeping our city’s trees beau-

tiful and healthy,” said CCWS coordinator Carson Hvenegaard. “Come out and learn about pruning, planting, diseases and pests and how each can affect the many benefits we enjoy thanks to our trees.”

Anyone attending a CWSS Thursday event will have an opportunity to put their name into a draw for prizes donated by the community. The draws will be done during the last event held on Aug. 3. The more events you attend, the more times your name goes into the draw.

For more information on the July 6 event or other upcoming events, contact CCWS coordinator Carson Hvenegaard by emailing carsonhv@gmail.com or by telephone at 780-672-0544.

Augustana seeks 1960s local high school students for drama study

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus is asking for community help in participating in a fall course.

No, you don’t have to go back to university or high school. You only have to share your high school experience during the 1960s decade.

The course entitled The Time of Our Lives will be taught by professor Paul “Sparky” Johnson. “Ideally, we would like to match one community member to each of the 25 students taking the class. Most of these students would have graduated in 2017. We want people who graduated any year in the 1960s. Students will study a year in the 60s and then talk to someone about their experiences. It would be great to match the year the student studied to the year of the person who graduated. The community members would have been the same age of the students who are taking the course,” offered Paul.

“Making memories is an integral part of being human and memory shapes not only our world view, but our place in history,” Paul said. “We want first-year university students to listen to stories from community members and then turn it into an art form. Remanence theatre

is taking those stories and turning them into theatre.

We will use music from the 60s and that in itself will invoke all kinds of memories in people. It will be a lot of fun.”

In this course, students will transform research into scenes, which may take the form of monologues, poetry, music, movement, etc.

“Together, we will create an oral history of a specific place and time by tapping into the memories of a target group of Camrose seniors, a group still active in the community and who, in the 1960s, was roughly the same age as today’s university students,” explained Paul.

The course will integrate collective discovery into theatrical presentation using historical research and verbatim memories as its basis.

After students spend time engaging with the group of seniors, the course will culminate in a dramatic production based on the memories they gather, which will be performed for the very same seniors who inspired their stories.

The course is one of the innovative and exciting options being offered to firstyear students. Beginning this September, all incoming Augustana students will be registered in a first-year

seminar course designed to introduce them to university life.

“These seminars will be small, intensive and discussion-based, and are set to introduce students to the high-impact learning that they should anticipate, and need to be familiar with, during university studies.

Although focused on one topic, these seminars will be interdisciplinary in nature and will ensure that students begin their university career in an exciting way that promotes a successful journey throughout the remainder of their time in university,” he said of the Augustana web page direction.

“Views about and on society have changed. It will be an interesting dialogue between students of two different time periods.”

It is anticipated that the participating group of seniors will need to devote one morning per week for each of the three weeks the course is active.

“For the first meeting, we’ll put on the coffee and invite the group to become audience members for the students’ initial research presentations on things that happened in the 1960s.”

Peewee Cougars split with Sherwood Park

By Murray Green

The Camrose Cougars peewee triple-A baseball team split a doubleheader with the Sherwood Park Athletics to give them a 6-6 record in Baseball Alberta play this season.

Camrose won 13-0 in the second contest, but lost a 10-9 heart-breaker in the opening game at Kin Park on June 25.

Camrose had an eight run second inning off four hits including an over the fence grand slam home run

by Gavin Galenza.

Galenza also shut down the Athletics from the hill by pitching four strong nohit balls, allowing three walks, while striking out eight batters. Connor Hoglund tossed the last inning giving up one hit, while striking out two batters.

In the opener, starting pitcher Dylan Soch tossed three innings giving up six runs on nine hits. Max Logelin came in relief and pitched three innings giving up two runs on three hits, while striking out one.

Camrose was down 6-5 after the third inning and 8-5 after six. Camrose rallies in the top of seventh to go up 9-8, but Sherwood Park responds with two in the bottom of the seventh to win the game.

Camrose traveled to St. Albert Legion Memorial Park for a game against the St. Albert Cardinals with a similar script, June 21. St. Albert won 10-8 in a close match.

Evan Williams started on the mound for the Cougars and tossed four innings allowing five runs on five hits and a walk, while striking out two batters. Hoglund tossed the last two innings.

St. Albert led 5-2 after the fourth inning. Camrose responded with six runs in the top of fifth inning to take an 8-7 lead. St. Albert didn’t score in the bottom of fifth inning.

The Cardinals scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 10-8 lead. Camrose was unable to score in the top of the last inning.

Camrose will host Parkland at 9 a.m. on July 8,

Calgary Cubs at 6 p.m. on July 8 and St. Albert at 4 p.m. on July 9 on Kin Park diamond three.

Flag football added for youngsters to learn the game

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes Football Association will be adding a fourth team this fall.

Camrose currently has three teams, one each in atom, peewee and bantam age groups. This spring, while the other teams have been working out, flag football was introduced for children under seven.

“We were looking at growing our program and offering something for the younger children to start out with. Flag football is a way of doing that, so we tried it out this spring,” said Buffaloes president Kim Kientz. “Flag football is for six and seven year olds where we teach basic skills like catching, throwing, running, cooperation, development and the basic game of football.”

This will be an introduction/grassroots level of the game for children to learn before they advance to the atom age level.

“This allows children to learn without the fear of getting tackled or having to tackle someone. This is always the biggest fear,

the hitting, tackling and blocking for young children. Flag football allows

for basic development,” explained Kim. “We have a modi-

fied Atom program with six players on the smaller field. This allows for a good

progression into football.

Atoms play on a quarter field, more condensed, so they don’t have as much wide open space. We use methods to keep the players safe and avoid head contact,” added Kim. “All of our coaches are trained and certified.”

You can start a flag football program with as little as five players. “We have eight players that have been coming out and trying it. We would like to have double that amount so we can have a couple of teams. Our goal is to play Wetaskiwin and Beaumont, so not a lot of travel.

We have about 20 players each on the atom, peewee and bantam teams, but we hope to expand those numbers before August.”

The spring sessions in May and June are good for players to try the sport.

“Our season starts at the beginning of August, so we are only six weeks away.

We encourage people to visit our website camrosebuffaloes.com and the email link is there, or they can call me at 780-679-7860.”

Jacobson builds the ultimate sleeper truck

By Murray Green

Jason Jacobson wanted to build a sleeper. A truck that looks like a normal daily driver on the outside, but is anything but normal under the hood.

His 1979 Ford F-150 Custom unit was found in Golden, B.C. “Since then, I have put in a lot of different parts from other vehicles, all original Ford parts,” explained Jason. “I happened to find it in the right place at the right time. The short box is hard to find, so when I saw it, I went for it.”

Jason’s goal was to find the right truck that he could modify with more power, but leave the body style as original as possible. “My goal was to build a sleeper. It has a 460-based big block Ford engine that is bored 30 over to make it a 466 with just over 650 horsepower.”

The three speed automatic transmission was built by Jason to match the engine. “Everything in this truck has been turned by me. I started rebuilding this truck in 2012 and I am always tinkering with something to make it better.

In fact, I just got it back on the road.”

Jason enjoys driving a vehicle that can move when it needs too. “I like the power, the adrenaline rush you get when I’m racing. I drag race it and street drive it. I’ve entered 100-footers, one-eighth mile and quarter mile events. I’ve always

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Jason Jacobson of Camrose added some horses under the hood for racing competition, while keeping it street legal.

had a passion for racing, since I was a little guy. I love motorsports and watching car races. I liked drag racing, but never thought I would get into it because of cost and other things in life.

However, here I am and I’m enjoying the truck and racing. I have thought of doing it professionally, but it is very expensive to do.”

For now, his dream of racing is fulfilled on the local tracks and 100-footer competitions. Jason moved

from his hometown of Forestburg to Camrose.

“I never built an engine before I built this one. I had a lot to learn and along the way I came across many challenges. I have a lot of great people around me that offered sound advice and they are full of helpful information. I’ve learned to ask questions, so I have learned along the way. I did a lot of research and found several pieces to put it all together.”

Jason took over the

excitement of owning a Ford from his dad. “I love the body style of this truck and always have. I’ve always had Fords growing and learning to drive,” he recalled. “Every time I jump into this truck and drive it is a different experience. People wave and give you comments. I love that and it is a great feeling.”

The truck isn’t all about racing. “I take it to show ‘n shines across Alberta like Three Hills, Nisku, Tofield,

Round Hill and Camrose.

We’re not afraid to drive them. They are not fair weather vehicles to us, they are daily drivers.”

Never to be finished, Jason is working on another project. “I have another chassis and body for this truck. I’m currently working on the body and paint on it. Once that is finished, I’ll swap everything over and then maybe everything will be done,” he added.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Janine Carroll weeds the peony garden created by Charlie Killam 50 years ago located at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum, combining her love for flowers, history and her dedication to Camrose.

By Lori Larsen The celebration of Canada 150 birthday has people thinking a little harder about the history of the country and their communities.

For Janine Carroll researching, recording and ensuring the history of Camrose and area remains in the forefront of people’s minds, is one of her passions, which she has done and continues to do through an intricate web of connectivity.

Janine and her family moved to the Camrose area in 1995 then into Camrose in 2008.

“My main function in life, (then) was to work around what my children were involved with, which is what a lot of people do,” she said humbly.

While her children were growing Janine focused on volunteering for the activities they were involved in and found her niche coaching the very successful rope skipping team, Camrose Spirals.

“When you have children that is where your energies go,” said Janine.

A proclamation almost every parent would agree with.

Once her children were more on their own Janine was successful in

getting a job at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park, where she was reminded of her love for history.

“I really love Central Alberta pioneer history.

It also rotates around my family that homesteaded in Rabbit Hill in 1892.

I have been growing up with those stories all my life.”

Janine’s love for history stretched beyond the walls of the Railway Station when she became the coordinator for Camrose Founders Day. “We are able to celebrate the movers and shakers of 100 years back and I have come to really appreciate the community in a different light that most people don’t have the opportunity to.”

After taking a year off, working on a professional designation in genealogy and with a desire to recycle the knowledge she had gained, particularly from Glenys Smith, working for seven years at the Station, in 2015 Janine presented City council with a business plan for the Camrose and District Centennial Museum and was then successful in acquiring the position of museum coordinator.

“There is so much I

learned from working at the Camrose Railway Station and I was able to not only bring my knowledge but bring Glenys’ knowledge over to the museum as well.”

Janine worked with local historians, such as Dennis Johnson and Lloyd Johnson (not related), to bring the stories to life and continues to tap into those valuable resources.

Despite recently retiring from the position at the museum, she is still actively involved as a member of the board and a dedicated volunteer.

“I am here for a reason onto myself,” said Janine when commended for continuing to contribute to the museum’s success. “I like purpose and I think I deal very well with people.

As a result of her own passion and connections and her innate ability to work with and engage people, Janine easily prompts others to get involved.

“When I was at the museum I was lucky to be able to do that with school children and educators and build a dedicated group of volunteers.

“Volunteering is a very specific skill and Glenys taught me well.”

Janine’s passion for history has lead her to

Phone 780-672-4400 3760-48 Avenue, Camrose

www.ddsales.com

many other equally interesting facets in her life, one that she is somewhat famous for in Camrose— ghost walking.

While working at the Station Janine recalled experiencing the presence of something or, more appropriately, someone sharing her office. “It never scared me but as I shared my experience other people would start telling me their stories.”

Wanting to pursue the experience further, one year Janine suggested a Ghost Walk (Drive) for Founders Day. “I wrote the script for Glenys, who performed the story telling.”

Somewhat apprehensive to perform in front of people herself, Janine struggled with the desire to continue a valuable initiative of reliving some of the past members of Camrose who inhabit the city in spirit, and the anxiety of public speaking.

“I knew the stories, had done the research and talked to the people (present) first hand. So I got over it and became the story teller,” which lead into her present business of ghost walking. “I’m having a lot of fun and learning even more of Camrose’s history. Every

one of them carries a lot of historical messages.”

Janine spends her days now busier than ever, but on a schedule that best suits her life at this point.

She continues her story telling Ghost Walks and is involved with Camrose Tourism, Camrose Genealogical Society, Camrose Horticulture Society and is seeking a grant for the City’s photo archiving initiative.

“I am hoping I can become the resource that others have been for me and to gain as much knowledge as I can gleam from listening, reading, talking and seeking out people.”

Or in the case of Janine, the people that she happens upon, including an elderly gentleman she met walking to the hospital who she ended up sitting with and talking to about his history.

Her warm smile and approachable personality brought another Camrose story to back to life.

Railway Station presents a day in the life of a hobo

By Lori Larsen

During the era from 1929 until 1939, the Great Depression, people in Canada were devastated by the loss of employment, farms and property resulting in often desperate measures to find work, feed themselves and their family and maintain, or in some cases, find a place to live.

As a way of celebrating the resilience of Canadians during these hard times and as a special event during Canada’s 150th, the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park are staging a tribute, Hobo Day on July 15, to the many Canadians that left their homes and families, some by surreptitiously boarding freight trains, in hopes of finding work.

“We wanted to have something that was entertaining, but also had an educational component to it,” said Station chairperson Glenys Smith.

The day begins at 10 a.m. and is promising a lot of fun, all the while, sharing a glimpse into the lives of hobos as depicted during the depression.

As visitors walk around the grounds they will be able to visit a rendition of a Hobo Jungle complete with log stumps to sit on, a mirror set up for personal grooming, hung tarps (in the event of poor weather)

and the Hobo Code (a code created to ensure honour amoung the people living in the hobo jungles.)

“The hobos that we are focusing on, needed jobs and they were going from place to place. They would go from jungle to jungle, it was a hard time for everyone.”

From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. the station will feature a Beanery Brunch with a menu consisting of homemade Sunny Boy Bread, homemade baked beans, stew and pie. From 2 until 5 p.m. tea and tea items will be served.

From 2 until approximately 3:30 p.m. local actors will be entertaining guests with vignettes of the voices of the people who actually experienced the era and depression taken from the book Ten Lost Years by Barry Broadfoot.

“The reason that we picked that is because it is the actual voices of the people who told the stories,” said Glenys. “We can learn from this because there was a misunderstanding.

People didn’t really know and they thought these people (hobos) should just go to work. But there was no work and the banks were controlling everything,” said Glenys in describing the story behind the era and subsequently Hobo Day.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park managing director Norm Prestage, left, and chairperson Glenys Smith, right, wait for the next train to hop aboard and ride the rails in preparation for the upcoming Hobo Day to be held on July 15 at the railway station.

Dispersed throughout the vignettes will be musical interludes of songs from the era or related to the rail, and guests are invited to sing along.

“We will have chairs

set up in a semi-circle and pamphlets with all the words for the songs in it,” added Glenys. “A lot of people, back then, played the harmonica or they would sing and play the ukulele.”

As attendees stroll throughout the hobo jungle they will be transported back to a time where people struggled to survive but managed to maintain their spirit through song and a sense of community.

“It was very difficult, but they made it through and through all these difficult times people did help one another.

The day will also include fun activities for children from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. including: a sand box, dress up clothes, the large wooden train, grass skiing, horseshoes and stilts and older children can enjoy a game of ping pong in the Sparling Centre. From 1 until 4 p.m.

Tracey Fontaine will be available for face painting.

Aside from the adventures of the hobos guests can also partake in the G-scale trains in the Morgan Garden, the 13 heritage gardens, the immigration display on the upper level of the station and displays throughout the station depicting the effect the depression had on citizens.

Lions club give flags to Grade 1 students

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club members from left, Gloria Sharuga, Mary Cunningham and Lee Kroeger presented St. Patrick School Grade 1 student Kohen Ewasko with a certificate, flag and colouring book.

By Lori Larsen In an effort to inspire community service and to encourage children to celebrate Canada’s birthday, along with their own accomplishments, the Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club handed out flags, colouring books and certificates to all Grade 1 students in Camrose on June 26.

The club has been running this program for well over 20 years as a way of passing on a positive message about the importance of serving your community.

Lions Club members attended Grade 1 classrooms across Camrose and presented each student with a Lions Project Pride certificate, a colouring book illustrating the importance of community and a miniature Canadian flag they can proudly wave on Canada’s 150th birthday, or any day, for that matter.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 4, 2017 – Page 24

Minnie “Win” Olsen March 2, 1922 ~ June 13, 2017 Minnie (Win) Olsen passed away peacefully on June 13, 2017 at Pine Cottage, Bethany Meadows at the age of 95 years.

Win was the eldest child of Arthur and Nellie Baker, born March 2, 1922 in Leeds, England. She had three brothers Tom, John and Arthur and one sister Nellie Pierson.

In 1942, she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Airforce (WAAF).

Win met Lawrence at the new base of Tholthorpe. They saw each other as often as possible which, we were told, was no easy matter.

They married on October 2, 1944.

Lawrence was discharged and came home to Canada in June 1945. Win was not able to follow until February 1946. She arrived in a cold and strange country, having travelled from England to Halifax by ship, then across Canada by train. Lawrence met her in Edmonton and the first thing they had to do was purchase a winter coat and boots for her. Win had to learn all of the foreign jobs of being a farmer’s wife including milking cows, cooking for a thrashing crew and driving vehicles. During all of this, she raised three sons who were her pride and joy.

Win and Lawrence moved to Camrose in 1970. Win went to work as a cook in the Big Scoop Ice Cream Palace where she remained for 16 years in spite of it changing ownership four times.

We all remember this time very well as we all had our favorite ice cream. Win and Lawrence became involved in the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. Win was very competitive and did very well playing darts and bowling. In 1980, she very proudly became the AB/NWT Legion Ladies Bowling Champion.

Win and Lawrence started camping at Bashaw Golf Course with Keith, Dennis and their families. Not wanting to be left behind, they took up the frustrating game of golf and enjoyed this well into their 80s. While camping, they especially enjoyed visiting and storytelling around the campfire. The boys often told their mother she was not old enough to hear of some of their exploits while growing up. Many weekends were spent in the camper traveling all over Alberta watching their boys and then grandchildren participate in ball, swimming, hockey and figure skating.

Win and Lawrence moved into the new seniors’ complex in 2000 – Win’s first new home with the bonus of having their meals prepared. Yay, Mom! Lawrence passed away in 2004 and Win remained at Deer Meadows, enjoying the company of her fellow tenants as well as watching the evening games. As her health deteriorated, Win was transferred to Bethany Meadows where she received excellent care and attention from the care-giving team. We wish to thank them all.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Brian (Heather) of Sherwood Park and Dennis (Jackie) of Camrose; daughterin-law Doreen of Camrose; seven grandchildren; nine greatgrandchildren; siblings Nellie Pierson of Dorenlee and Arthur Baker of Leeds, England; sister-in-law Sybil Baker of North Hampton, England.

Minnie was predeceased by her husband Lawrence; her son Keith; parents Arthur and Nellie Baker; brothers John and Tom; sisters-in-law Eileen and Joyce; and brother-in-law Carl.

A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 5, 2017 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the charity of one’s choice.

Martin Blumhagen July 31, 1921 ~ June 23, 2017 Mr. Martin Blumhagen of Camrose, formerly of Forestburg, passed away on Friday, June 23, 2017 at the age of 95 years.

Martin was born in Maple Creek, SK. He spent most of his life in Forestburg where he farmed, was involved in a developing oil and gas industry and, for a time, worked in a garage.

Martin is survived by his loving wife Veronica; six stepchildren Saundra (Bob) Bendfeld of Sylvan Lake, Grant (Jackie) Kroetsch of Edmonton, Colin (Barb) Kroetsch of Heisler, Heather (Rock) McCarroll of Daysland, Blair (Janice) Kroetsch of Daysland and Jocelyn (Bob) Heyde of Grouard, Alberta; 14 step-grandchildren; 23 great-step-grandchildren; sister-in-law Laura Blumhagen; and two nephews.

Martin was predeceased by his first wife Irene; infant son Murray Nelson Blumhagen; one brother Edward Blumhagen; and one nephew.

Martin came into Mom’s and our lives 28 years ago. They met at a dance and the rest is history. They went to many dances together as they both loved to dance. Martin started to come to Mom’s family events. He fit in immediately and embraced us all.

They were married on June 8, 1991 and truly lived “happily ever after”. One of the best things that happened to them was moving to Deer Meadows five years ago. The staff and fellow residents have been wonderful to them. Last Thursday evening, Martin went to visit Mom in the hospital, went home around 8:00 p.m. and quietly left us. We are so grateful that you were able to do it “your way”.

A funeral service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 29, 2017 at CityLights Church in Camrose with Rev. Frank Wilson officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Forestburg Cemetery.

Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Parkinson Society. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 4, 2017 – Page 25

The Honorable Norman Albert Rolf March 24, 1929 ~ June 23, 2017 The Honorable Norman Albert Rolf of Camrose, AB passed away on Friday, June 23, 2017 at the age of 88 years.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife Patricia; children Rob (Liz) of Camrose County and Margaret (Tom) Bojczyszyn of Edmonton; sister Claire Rolf of Squamish, BC, Joanne (Tom) Williamson of Oakland, California and Karl (Michelle) Rolf of Westerose; twelve grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren; as well as many beloved nephews and nieces.

Norman was predeceased by his brother Carl Rolf; and sisters Irma Young and Rosemarie Yates.

Born in Edmonton, Norman studied law at the University of Alberta and graduated in 1958.

He and Trish moved to Camrose in 1963 to raise their family.

There, he practiced law and was engaged in the service of his community as a member of the School Board, Kinsmen, Rotary and the local Ski Club. Norm was instrumental in kick starting the cross-county ski programs at Camrose Lutheran College and Camrose Composite High School when he spearheaded a Rotary project that donated 100 sets of ski equipment.

In 1977, Norman moved to Pigeon Lake where he was appointed to be a judge of the Provincial Court in Central Alberta.

In his vocation as a judge, he was particularly attentive to First Nations peoples, focusing on traditional values for healing as well as alternative forms of sentencing. He was publicly honored by the Four Nations in 1992 for his significant contribution in establishing the Nayo-Skan Healing Centre.

Throughout his life, he was an avid outdoorsman who had a passion for skiing, hunting, fishing and camping.

After his retirement, he became an accomplished horseman and enjoyed experiencing Alberta on long rides. He also spent time on his farm near Battle Lake where he always had projects on the go or a book in his hands. He savored life to his very last day and died, as he would have wished, in his cabin by Peaceful Valley Road with his beloved wife of 66 years at his side.

He will be dearly missed and his legacy will live on in the hearts of all those with whom he shared a deep connection to natural beauty, harmony and a sense of the sacredness of life.

Norman was much loved because he loved so much.

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 29, 2017 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. Inurnment will take place at Lakedell Cemetery in Westerose at a later date.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Queen of Peace Monastery, Box 1745, Garibaldi Highlands, BC V0N 1T0 or to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Mervin Dennis Miller February 4, 1937 ~ June 25, 2017 Mervin was born in Provost, AB on February 4, 1937 to Norman and Alice Miller. Merv took his schooling in Hayter, Alberta. Along with his sister Norma, they took their horse and buggy to school every day. At the age of twelve, Merv came down with polio. Merv had a lot of determination. He worked for various farmers throughout his teenage years in the Provost and Hayter districts followed by working on a ranch in Southern Alberta for many years. Merv’s parents moved and settled in Camrose in the late ’50s. Merv also followed the rodeo circuit in Alberta and BC for a time, riding bulls and bronc riding.

Fond memories were shared of Merv being an outrider in the early ’60s at the Calgary Stampede, mostly for Hank Willard. As things were booming in Alberta, Merv worked in the oil patch as truck foreman for many years and then bought a truck, journeying across Canada and the United States. Merv always loved to visit and share stories of his life and loved to bake bread, pies, cook, can, and often had his nose in a cookbook, trying a new recipe.

On October 3, 1999, Merv married Beverly whom, as Merv would say, was “the love of his life”. Together, Merv and Beverly were baptized and attended the now Rose City Baptist Church, treasuring their many church friends whom they met over the years. Together, they shared their home over the years with many children.

When grandchildren would visit, Grandpa told them that when he died, to look up in the sky and if you see a guy sitting on a rocking chair or on a bucking bronco, know he is in Heaven.

He was predeceased by his parents Norman and Alice Miller; sister Norma Seegar; special Aunt Glady Bowler; and stepson Bradley Ames.

Merv is survived by his loving his wife Beverly; son Bryce Ames of Camrose; stepchildren Bernadine (Shannon) Iverson, Beverly Kruse, Bridget (Lars) Lennartsson, Brent (Lisa) Ames; Beverly’s sons Ben (Lisa) Chartrand, and Clayton McCrea; sister Joy (Gary) Mouly; brother Miles (Carol) Miller; as well as numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 15, 2017 from Rose City Baptist Church in Camrose with Pastor Dave Cawley officiating. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Gideons International, Bethany Meadows – Willow Cottage or to the charity of one’s choice.

Allen Edward Schier Allen Edward Schier was called home suddenly on June 21, 2017 at the Grey Nuns Hospital, Edmonton. Allen was born on March 8, 1954 in Fort Erie, Ontario.

Al lived on the farm by Meeting Creek, AB since 2003 with his wife Faith Schier (Oberg), by whom he is survived, and sons James Schier and Patrick Schier. Previous to this, Al lived with his family in Ridgeway, ON and Rosalind, AB. Al is also survived by his sisters Beth Pett (Colin), Joanne Zuba (Don) and Lynda Schier; brothers Manford Schier and Tom Schier; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends. He was predeceased by his mother Anne Healy Schier and father Hubert Schier.

After moving from Ontario to Alberta in the ’70s, Allen worked as an X-ray technician in Edmonton for many years, followed by working as a custom carpenter in Stevensville, ON along with his father and brother. Next up was working with his brother Manny in their own business in Ridgeway, ON – Flo’s Lunch. Then came the journey back to Alberta once again, where he worked for the Battle River School Division as janitor for Rosalind School. Last, but not least, after moving to the farm by Meeting Creek with his family, he was the water and waste technician in Donalda, Alberta (and Edberg for a while) and he also farmed. Allen loved the farm best of all. Oh, how he loved the farm. Al was a man who could build things and fix things; well, at least he loved when things could be fixed. Al loved to read – you never really saw him without a book handy. And in his last few years, he very much enjoyed catching up on the news and financial reports online. He was also a big fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and old rock and roll and country music – a very big fan!

Most of all, Al loved us, his family, as we loved him and always will.

He will always be with us.

The family will have a private memorial for Al at their home.

Those wishing to contribute to a charity in Allen’s memory may give to the Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation, 202-5913-50 Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4N 4C4.

Condolences may be left for the family by visiting www.stettlerfuneralhome.com.

Stettler Funeral Home has been entrusted with the care and arrangements.

Ivadel Elaine Falk October 28, 1939 ~ June 17, 2017 Ivadel Elaine Falk was born on October 28, 1939 and passed away at the Abbotsford Hospital on June 17, 2017 at the age of 77. She was surrounded by her loved ones.

Ivadel was born at Beulah Home in Edmonton, AB. At three weeks of age, she was adopted by Percy and Jessie Olsen of New Norway, AB and became a little sister to Vern.

The family was complete with the arrival of siblings Dennis and Rosalee.

Ivadel took grades one to four at Kensington School, grades five to eleven at New Norway School and grade twelve in Ferintosh. During this time, Ivadel loved to play ball with school and neighbourhood children. Skating parties were enjoyed after the sloughs froze over. Summer camps were a favourite of Ivadel. Although Ken and Ivadel went to school together in Ferintosh, it wasn’t until later at a day camp, after much coaxing from a friend, that Ken asked Ivadel if he could drive her home from Red Deer Lake. She said, “Yes!” Ken and Ivadel were married on June 7, 1962. They lived in the New Norway area until 1985 when they moved to BC. They had four children Jewel, Jeff, Darlene and Dwight.

Ivadel was always known as a very hard worker. She loved to be outside working in the garden among the flowers. She also loved church and played the piano beautifully.

Ivadel leaves to mourn her loss Ken, her loving husband of 55 years; four children Jewel, Jeff (Trudi), Darlene and Dwight ( Janet); and grandchildren Shayna, Angela, Nicole, Sarah and Zachary.

Ivadel became Grandma and Nana to many other special children whom she welcomed into the family with open arms.

She was predeceased by her parents, her baby sister Jewel and her brother Vern.

A Celebration of Life will be held on August, 19, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. in the Ferintosh Hall.

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.

PERSONAL DRINKING A PROBLEM? Alcoholics Anonymous, call 780-672-9406 or 780-608-8798.

LOST THAT LOVING FEELING? Find it with a personal ad in The Camrose Booster classifieds. Ph. 780-672-3142.

EMPLOYMENT WANTED 2ND BEST PAINTER IN TOWN – 30 years’ experience for all your painting needs. Call Rick the Painter, 780-672-0391.

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.

Summer is Here!

Drive attentively and watch for bicyclists.

There are not many places more Canadian than the coffee shop. Not everyone drinks coffee, but the coffee shop is a comfort zone for the whole community.

The coffee shop is a portrait of Canada’s people. Coffee attracts the full spectrum of who we are. Some will buy coffee to sip while hoping time passes, while others will dash in and out and then return to the busyness of their day. In these outlets, there are people of different races, religions and economies, all in one place, sharing some moments with coffee.

In line is the tall, refined lady with matching apparel and stylish jewelry. In front of her, a young female with blue jeans with a dozen peek holes with cross threads.

These are not worn-out jeans; they were purchased that way. A couple of construction men wearing Carhartts and heavy boots pick up their order making room for the tourist couple in flowered shorts to move to the counter.

There is such a contrast between a tailored, elegant lady standing just in front of the youngster with skinhugging slacks. The young lady appears as if she has a pale blue epidermis or that her slacks were put on with an aerosol can. The polished lady is about to attend her niece’s wedding. The tight slacks are a statement that indicates, “I am young and I can set my own rules, so there.” These people are just a part of our community mix.

What is so unique about a coffee outlet is the diversity of persons who gather in a common place. Equally special is the fact that all will abide in similar simple food.

A chicken salad sandwich, a ham and cheese, or perhaps lettuce, bacon and tomato.

The professionals and the road builders sit at adjacent tables. The wealthy may sit near the minimum wage workers.

For most of the rest of the day, that doesn’t happen.

Outside of the coffee shop, society returns to being a layer cake. The mechanics return to their garages and the professionals to their offices. After the coffee shop, each returns to a more segregated population.

Persons who dine in an upscale restaurant, where the napkins are folded into a wine glass to look like a daffodil, will rarely share space there with a person in torn jeans. It takes a coffee shop to do that.

Even the language at the tables reflects Canada’s diverse personalities. At one table, a blustery man speaks as if he is talking to the whole restaurant. His eyes search the room to see if others are paying attention. Another table has three generations – a grandmother, a single mom and her baby whispering to one another. The grandmother will provide child care, while the young mom is about to toil for the money required to support her special responsibility.

For much of our daily lives, we are persons who associate with a common occupation or interest. The coffee shop is a conglomerate experience since it exposes us to the mix of our community.

It can be interesting to observe the attempts at chatter among persons standing in line waiting to order.

Sometimes, the communication clicks and a genuine exchange takes place. At other times, the attempt is hope without a connection. Occasionally, someone in line is determined to banter with anyone and everyone.

It is in the coffee shop that we are reminded of how varied our lives are. It is there that we come to understand that not everyone lives with the same styles or aspirations.

Persons in a coffee shop, like world cultures, are neither right nor wrong; we are who we are. Moreover, it takes diversity to make the world work and it takes everyone to create a society.

No wonder coffee is good for us.

Axemen win two

By Murray Green

It was the Camrose Axemen men’s baseball team that roared on June 25 when it swept a doubleheader from the Westlock Red Lions, 5-2 and 9-3 in Kin Park. This was the first sweep by the Axemen over Westlock in North Central Alberta Baseball League history.

In the first game, Camrose scored four runs in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie and went on to win 9-3. Shaun Painter led the offence with three hits including a double.

Joe Pasychynk chipped in with two hits. Shawn Noble tossed seven innings from the mound to pick up a complete game victory.

Camrose kept the offence going in the second outing by scoring a run in the first and adding two more in the second inning to coast to a 5-2 win. Cal Zimmer collected two hits and Jordan Riopel clubbed a double.

On the mound, Kyle Muzechka earned the win.

Not everything about summer is endearing. Mosquitoes, those little flying, biting machines, are most certainly one of the most frustrating parts of enjoying the great outdoors in the warmer months.

Aside from the annoying itch and, in some cases, red swollen reactions, mosquitoes can also carry the very harmful West Nile virus.

“With exposure to mosquitoes comes risk of West Nile virus,” said Alberta Health Services senior medical officer Dr. Gerry Predy. “Because some mosquitoes carry West Nile virus, it’s important to avoid being bitten at all.”

In an effort to protect yourself and your children from being bitten, consider the following preventative measures.

Wear a long-sleeved, light-colored shirt, pants, and a hat.

Use insect repellent with DEET. Consider staying indoors at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

Where possible, remove all standing water from around your home or areas where your children play.

Install a bat roost around your home. A single brown bat can consume up to 1,000 mosquitos in an hour.

Don’t forget to protect your pets as well.

“These steps can make it harder for mosquitoes to find you, and remember: if mosquitoes can’t find you, they can’t bite you,” says Predy.

If bitten by a mosquito carrying the West Nile virus, humans can develop West Nile NonNeurological Syndrome (formerly known as West Nile fever) or the more serious West Nile Neurological Syndrome.

Symptoms of Non-Neurological Syndrome can include fever, chills, nausea, fatigue, skin rash, swollen glands and headache.

The symptoms of Neurological Syndrome can be much more severe and can include tremors, drowsiness, confusion, swallowing problems, high fever, unconsciousness, paralysis and can cause death.

The statistics are somewhat alarming. From 2003 until 2016, over 680 Albertans suffered from the West Nile virus infection. Many of these victims were bitten in Alberta.

“The data shows the very real and risk of illness across the province,” says Predy. “Protect yourself, and ensure your loved ones do the same.”

To learn more about West Nile virus and reducing your risk, visit www. fightthebite.info or call Health Link at 811.
