When a smoke alarm is automatically activated, a family may have but a mere minute to escape from the average residence. It’s imperative to develop and practice a home escape plan that can be implemented quickly and effectively, even in pitch dark! This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is:

Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out! ”

“

Camrose Fire Department urges you to start planning now for the great escape they hope you will never need. The local Fire Department will be busy from October 8 to 14 doing neighbourhood smoke alarm testing sponsored by Canadian Tire. They urge participation in a city-wide fire drill on the evening of October 11 and will host a Pancake Breakfast at the Fire Hall on October 15 from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Grade 4 students in the City will also be given a free smoke detector courtesy of Wild Rose Co-op and the CFD Firefighters’ Association.

Letters to the Editor Thanks!

“Lego.” “The Internet.” Those are two grandchild responses to my annual family Thanksgiving dinner question, “What are you thankful for?” ***

On the way to Thanksgiving weekend, I’m thankful to be alive now, in this time and this place. Recently I’ve been learning more about some of the struggles of early arrivals in our province. The hardships, the risks, the loneliness they endured, saying good-bye to family and friends they knew they would never see again to come to a harsh land with bitter winters, living in sod huts or wooden houses with no insulation. I’m thankful I don’t have to live through those hardships. I’m grateful for safe warm homes and easy transportation and electricity that powers appliances to make lots of jobs easier. I’ve also heard stories from people who have arrived here from countries with horrific violence and warfare. They’ve had to flee with whatever they could carry, often not knowing if other family members made it out. They are grateful to be here where it’s safer, but homesick for people and places they loved before they were forced out by circumstances they did not create and could not control. I cannot imagine the grief and terror they’ve experienced. I’m in awe as they move forward to create new lives in this new culture and climate and language. Thinking about what others have been through, it’s easy to be thankful for things I don’t usually even think about. For example, I might be irritated by or disagree with some decisions or actions of political leaders, but our leaders tend not to send in soldiers or drop bombs on us. I’m grateful to live in a country where we mostly handle disagreements through talk not violence. ***

In the past couple of weeks I’ve been thankful for music and theatre and art–and for living in a place where I can experience all of it live or electronically whenever I wish. The songs from a musical I saw in July still run through my mind and make me smile. Some of the lines from plays I saw in August and September still make me giggle. A September piano performance by a 12-year-old prodigy from Alberta still dazzles me. A colourful mosaic on the outside of a building lifts my spirits. A detective novel by an Icelandic author was a cliff-hanger story and also immersed me in a culture and geography I’ve not experienced. Music, art, theatre, dance and literature lift my spirit, make me laugh, transport me to other worlds, expand my perceptions, delight my senses. It’s such a privilege to be surrounded by opportunities to experience creativity expressed in so many forms. It enriches and expands my life and I am grateful.

Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 400 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. No facts

MP Kevin Sorenson has finally realized Canadians should all be protesting Morneau’s Proposed Tax Changes. But, it is too late, because the feedback deadline was Oct 2. I urge everyone to still respond today. It would have been ever so helpful if Sorenson had given us the fin.consultation.fin@ canada.ca link, so we could have inundated Morneau with our protests. S or en son , a ga i n neglects to provide facts to support his generalization, when he said, “It means our local businesses including family farms, will have a tax rate higher than anyone else.” What are those tax rates for local businesses/family farms now? Does “everyone else” include Canada’s top 100

CEOs (one at $182 million /year). Does Sorenson’s “everyone else” include the chair and CEOs of Bombardier, a “family” business, which just received billions in federal handouts? And, are Trudeau and Morneau included in “everyone else” tax bracket (with their millions/billions in family trusts and numbered companies), or are they exempted? Sorenson’s vag ue rhetoric is not informative! It only serves to raise anxieties and hostilities. We need to have the numbers! Facts! And, some suggested solutions! Various financial institutions, Jack Mintz (U of C) and other tax jur isdictions, provide tax data. The UK, for example, provides an example of full write-offs for (business) machinery expenditures up to 200,00 pounds (Canadian $334,000). Elizabeth May provides incremental additional information /comparisons, stating that despite “massive debts (1990s)” and “global economic recession (2008)” personal income tax has “hardly budged.” She suggests restoring federal corporate taxes to 19.5 per cent, the lowest of all G7 Countries, and much below the US 34-37 per cent Corporate tax (every percentage

increase in the corporate tax rate is estimated to yield $1.5 billion), would provide roughly $ 6.75 billion, allowing Morneau to lower the small business tax to nine per cent. That is $ 6.75 billion in a tax revenue versus Morneau’s proposed pittance of roughly $250 million (Mintz’ estimate). Billions for child-care, veteran support, senior-care, infrastructure, and /or job training and creation and without imposing the incumbent negatives, noted by Sorenson (i.e. cancelling farmers’ grain cash-deferrals and making it more complex and costly to pass a farm down to children, which is a death-knell on Canada’s “centennial”/third generation farms). MP Sorenson’s constituents rely on factual information in his Camrose Booster Parliamentary Reports to make timely and informed decisions regarding our livelihood. And, again in Morneau’s Proposed Tax Change scenario, we have been let down/ short-changed by a lack of helpful facts. Disappointed. M. R. Leithead, Bawlf

***

Turns out we can be grateful for gratitude. According to an article by Craig and Mark Kielburger, “Research in the field of neuroscience and psychology suggests that negative emotions restrict our focus and limit our ability to think of new ideas, while positive emotions increase creative output and activate neural pathways associated with creative thought.” Who knew that feeling thankful could activate neural pathways of creative thought? In Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, clinical psychologist Michael Mantell says studies show that feeling thankful lowers stress, blood pressure and cholesterol and boosts our immune system. Maybe we could substitute thankfulness for some of our pharmaceuticals! This much I know: it is impossible to feel thankful and cranky at the same time. And there is always something for which to be thankful. ***

One year I announced that everyone could be thankful because I wasn’t going to ask “What are you thankful for?” during Thanksgiving dinner. That was then and this is now. Yep, I’m going to ask the question again next weekend. So – what are you thankful for? ***

I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send me an email at Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

Raising a church event By Lori Larsen On Saturday, Oct. 14 the Resurrection Lutheran Brethren Church (Rez) will be hosting a Harvest Festival event at the City Lights Church, 4920-48 Street in an effort to raise funds for the new building, which is now under construction at the corner of Enevold and Parkview Drives. The event will include a supper, pie and preserves competition, silent and live auction and the live entertainment by Doug Rawling and the Caraganas and everybody is welcome. Doors open at 5 p.m. with supper served at 5:30 p.m. “Donors, contractors and suppliers have all been generous for which we are

so grateful,” said member of Rez, Iona Brager. Thus far $2.2 million of the building budget has been raised. Building team chairman Brian Hellekson reports that the project is currently ahead of schedule and on budget. “The aim of this congregation has always been to reach out to the Camrose community with Jesus’ love and support needs where they can.” Rez has accomplished this through supporting initiatives such as Martha’s Table, an annual Vacation Bible School that hosted 200 children this year, an Easter Egg Hunt, weekly youth meetings, various Bible studies, the Beth Moore Simulcast held

Kodiaks slay Dragons in season opener By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks were fired up against the Drumheller Dragons to open the Alberta Junior Hockey League season on Sept. 15. Camrose scored the first three goals and went on to win 5-3 in the badlands. Newcomer Brock Bremer garnered the first tally of the season. Matt Dykstra added another tally mid way through the opening period and local defenceman Brennan Davis notched his first a couple of minutes later. Drumheller replied on a power play before the period ended. In the second frame, Ryan Hartman scored between two Drumheller goals. Former Camrose Minor Hockey player Jacob Kendall closed the scoring late in the final period. Kodiaks goalie Landon Pavilsin stopped 25 of 28 shots he faced to pick up the win. In the rematch, and the home opener for Camrose, the Dragons were breathing down the Kodiaks’ backs until they scored the game winner in overtime. After a scoreless first period, the kodiaks went up 2-1 in the second with tallies from Tyler Schendel and Hartman. Drumheller tied the game early in the third and forced overtime. It was a stalemate until the last four seconds of extra time. The Dragons fired 39 shots at the Camrose net with Pavilsin turning away 36 of them. Camrose lost a close 4-3 match to the Whitecourt Wolverines on Sept. 23. After Whitecourt scored three goals, the Kodiaks fought back with three straight to tie the game. Kendall scored twice and McKenzie Welke added a single to tie the game. However, the wolverines netted the winner just 15 seconds later. G oalie Pavilson stopped 25 of 29 shots.

Kupka signs

Kodiaks forward Kyler Kupka has committed to play NCAA Division 1 collegiate hockey at Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks. Kupka, a local product grew up playing hockey through the Camrose Minor Hockey Association. He went on to play one season of midget triple-A with the Sherwood Park Kings before returning to play for the Camrose Kodiaks last season. “We are excited for Kyler and his family. This young man has a bright future ahead of him and the Nanooks have found themselves a gem. We believe that Kyler will be great for Alaska and he could make the jump to pro just like Colton Parayko did when he attended Alaska. Congratulations Kyler, you are well deserving of this, we are all proud of you,” said Kodiaks head coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. Parayko was an undrafted Western Hockey League player who went to Fort McMurray to play junior hockey and was drafted by the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. Kupka is the first player off the 2017-18 Camrose Kodiaks roster to commit to university hockey. Last year Kupka scored 13 goals and added 15 assists in just 34 games. He suffered a significant injury early in the New Year, which kept him out for the remainder of the season. “I would like to thank my family, coaching staff, and the Kodiaks organization for helping me get to the next level. Alaska has been in constant contact with me and I am impressed by their program and excited to be a part of it in the future,” said Kyler. The next home game for the Kodiaks will be on Tuesday, Oct. 3 against the Olds Grizzlys.

Sears indicates strategic planning important

By Lori Larsen

After serving the past term as city councillor, incumbent Bill Sears has decided to run for mayor. Sears grew up on a family farm south of Tofield. After graduating from Tofield High School, he obtained a diploma in agricultural management from Olds College and then studied agriculture at the University of Alberta for two years before starting full-time farming in 1973 which he continued until 2007. Prior to moving to Camrose with wife

Trudy in 2012, Sears was involved in the government of Beaver County. In 1992, he was elected as a County councillor and served in that position for three terms. In 1993-94, he had the opportunity to be involved in the process of bringing together the four jurisdictions (the Counties of Beaver, Flagstaff, Camrose and City of Camrose Public) that became Battle River School Division. He then went on to serve as a trustee with Battle River School Division for three terms. Trudy and Bill have a blended family of two daughters, three sons and four grandchildren. As a City councillor, Sears is committed to seeing the pilots of the Taxi Token project and the Community Bus become permanent City services. He is a strong believer in the City’s support of affordable housing, support of the Camrose Women’s Shelter’s need for transitional housing and support for the Hospice Society of Camrose and District in

their need for a possible building site. Sears has also been involved in the following committees (to name a few): vice-chair Camrose and District Support Services, past chair Camrose Green Action committee (supporter of Blue Dot declaration), Community Transit Advisory committee (alternate), chair of Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre Board of Governors, Municipal Planning Advisory committee and the Municipal Service Level Assessment committee. On speaking about his platforms, Sears said, “I am committed to maintaining our City as a thriving place for people of all ages–a place for families to work and play, for business and the arts, for health care, for education, for visitors and residents.” Sears also believes that regional cooperation is key, especially on issues of land use and transportation. Also vital to Sears is maintaining and further enhancing Camrose’s main

street and greater downtown area. Regarding transportation in Camrose, Sears remarked, “We need to plan for transportation systems that include not only vehicles (and the advent of electric and driverless cars), but also systems that encourage movement without cars. “I would like to see the taxi token and the Community Bus pilot projects become permanent City services.” Sears commented that a more diverse council including more women and representation from one of the several ethnic minorities would lead to a balanced perspective that is needed at all levels of government. Of great importance to Sears is building programs and policies that reduce environmental impact. “We all share the same planet and here at home is where we can make a difference. “The growing programs and services offered by Camrose Public Library

Parker newcomer running for council By Lori Larsen New candidate, Niel Parker, running for one of the City of Camrose city councillor positions brings with him experience in government. Parker was born in Camrose in 1987 to parents Ellen and Tim. “My dad works at the college and my mom has done a lot of activist events around town,” said Niel. “Camrose gave me a lot of incredible benefits. I have a core group of friends that I have known since I was basically a toddler and I still see them regularly.” Parker graduated from the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus studying English and psychology. “In terms of a small town I think it is really unique to have a university like that, especially with the quality of education you can get.” Parker continues taking two or three online courses a year. “Something I got from Augustana was being a lifelong learner.” While attending university he worked for Camrose Association for Community Living in the group homes continuing that interest in Edmonton working in the area of dementia and Alzheimers. “I thought about becoming a psychiatric nurse. I was thinking pretty hard about a career change right around the time Bruce Hinkley won the election here. So with my background dealing with social services in Alberta I

thought I would be a good candidate to do, at least, the case work around his office, but since then it has become a lot more.” Parker admits these two years have afforded him quite a bit of experience working around provincial government. “A fair amount of my job is reading policy documents as they come out and explaining them to lay people. “A big part of councillor’s job is to make the complicated understandable and sometimes the reasons and justifications behind why we need to have policies.” Parker also feels his strong background in technology can benefit council. “I think that these are some of the big global trends that are going to change what municipal government looks like. “The scope of municipal government is going to keep expanding. One way we can get efficiency and better service is by incorporating these new technologies.” He added that experi-

ence with technology will be beneficial in a time of data driven policy, where information can be quickly and easily accessible. “Another part of my platform will be connecting with other people my age, the under 35 crowd, and encouraging them to get involved. “A lot of boards are having trouble replacing themselves,” commented Parker. “Camrose is a unique city because we have so many community based organizations and they are really effective and that is what draws a lot of people here, all the support. If they are not able to regenerate themselves we are going to lose so much of that knowledge.” Parker also said he wants to encourage conversation about the future and what the 22nd Century will offer and that a lot of the younger generation are over educated and underemployed. “We have all these big problems and all these educated talented people stuck on the sidelines, its only natural to connect them, that is what politicians should do.” On a final note Parker explained the importance of cooperation and breaking down the competition mind set for provincial and federal grants and tax dollars. “The municipal level is the most efficient place for them to spend tax dollars if they want to benefit citizens.”

Severson for student success By Murray Green

Camrose resident Natalie Severson wants to represent students on the Battle River School Division board as a trustee. “I really believe in the BRSD’s motto, Every Student, Every Day, A Success,” shared Severson. “I am a mother of two beautiful girls and I like to stay active in their education and to stay informed so I can make sure that they succeed.” Children should receive the best learning opportunities that they can have. “As a parent, the best interests of my children are at heart. As a trustee, the best interests of your children are at heart,” said Severson. “I am a very hard worker and I don’t stop until the task is complete and I try my best to always have answers.” She is a team player and always tries her best to encourage those around

are filling very real needs and enhancing our lives. Sears added that is important to ensure that both provincial and federal levels of government get the message that we provide 90 per cent of the services people use every day– but with only 10 per cent of the tax dollars. “Our needs need to be brought to their attention repeatedly so that we are not forgotten,” adding that social issues including poverty, homelessness, addictions and family violence are as present in Camrose as in other cities across the prairies. In moving ahead into the next four years, Sears indicated that council needs to be strategic and policy driven and include careful plans addressing the priorities of citizens with a view to strengthening the City. “We are very fortunate in Camrose to have very capable and dedicated employees in City Hall. Council’s job is to set the direction–my role as mayor will be to act as a bridge between residents and the City.” her to go for their goals and never feel discouraged. “I am honest and know that this is a learning curve for me, but I am excited and willing to do the best that I can do,” Severson explained. “I am committed on behalf of the students to be their voice when advocating to the provincial government. I will always try my best to be efficient and answer all inquires from students and parents in a timely manner.” She wants to help make sure that schools have the proper programming and tools to help children achieve high standards. “This is a changing world and technology is becoming the way of education in the future. Help me to help the BRSD stay up to date by being an advocate for students, parents and teachers.” Severson is running for one of two City of Camrose positions on the board. Norm Erickson and Valerie Sims will also be vying to represent the City. Camrose Chamber of Commerce, BRSD and the ATA (Alberta Teachers’ Association) are working together to organize election forums in Camrose. A debate will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. for Battle River School Division candidates (City of Camrose and Camrose County North); Camrose County council candidates and City of Camrose mayoral candidates. It will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Please Vote!

It has been a tremendous honour and privilege to serve on Camrose City Council for four years. In the last term I was exposed to a vast amount of diverse knowledge and experience serving on various committees: • Municipal Planning Advisory Committee (Chair) • Camrose and District Support Services (Chair) • Arts and Culture Council • Camrose and Area Lodge Authority • Camrose Police Commission • Emergency Management Committee • Finance Committee of Council • Municipal Service Level Assessment Committee • Policy Committee • Rose City Handi-Van Society I will use the knowledge gained, plus fiscal responsibility, to continue to guide the City of Camrose towards a bright and exciting future. I am very proud to be a Camrose citizen, with some major projects started and upcoming, it needs to be done right. As a local business owner with a wife and two small children, I have a vested interest in not only the immediate needs, but also for long term opportunities for the citizens and business community of Camrose. I truly feel that we need to maintain Camrose for the gem it is and continue to improve for the future. Please vote for me to continue to work for you and Camrose!

Sims brings years of teaching By Murray Green

Retired teacher Valerie Sims decided to run as a trustee on the Battle River School Division board because she wants to remain in a position of helping students. “I am running for school board because I strongly believe in the value of education. It is truly the most powerful way to change the world,” said Sims. “I would love to be part the of decision making process that could contribute to this goal. I have been retired for a few years now and I miss education and working with children.” Her main slogan would be to always put children first. “I feel it is important to provide safe and caring environments where children can become selfconfident, good listeners, honest, cooperative and generous. If they feel a sense of acceptance and belonging in a school culture that treats everyone

with kindness and respect they can grow to their full potential,” Sims offered. “We need to encourage creative thinkers and problem solvers who respect their academic accomplishments. A love of learning will encourage them to be lifelong learners and positive contributors to society.” She said it is important that all stakeholders work together for the good of the child. It does take a village to raise a child.

“More research is being done all the time about how the brain works best and so these ideas should be considered. All children have different learning styles and so accommodations have to be made so every child can achieve success. All children can learn, just in different ways. It is important to give a variety of learning experiences.” Sims has a wide range of experience to share at the school board table because she taught for 31 years. “I went to school here and my children went to school here. I know the past and we can learn from the past. Now that my grandchildren are starting school here I will have experiences that are current as well.” Sims has sat on many boards and is familiar with them. “When I was teaching, I often thought how lucky we all were living in Camrose that we had such a great school district. I applaud the initiatives of mental health, summer learning, inclusion, and French Immersion. They are all dear to my heart. “I would like to be a small cog in the well oiled machine that is the Battle River School Division, representing the City of Camrose Ward 1. I have lived in Camrose all my life.”

Willoughby brings experience to the table

By Murray Green

In a time of economic downturn in Camrose County, Brian Willoughby wants his experience to shine on council. The Bawlf area representative on Camrose County would like to see more cooperation from the City of Camrose in the future. “I wanted to run again because there is some unfinished business that I really want to work on. I want the Ohaton water line completed, but still want a good relationship with the City. I think Ohaton residents and some businesses should have more access to water,” said Willoughby. “It (water) is very important for business and for houses.” Willoughby doesn’t like to waste money. “Financially, I want to make sure the County is stable and not raising taxes by

very much. They need to be frugal with their money. Sometimes that might mean cutting back on services, but everyone is taxed enough that I don’t think raising the taxes is always the answer.” It could be a long year ahead if the economy doesn’t start to improve. “The County has some tough decisions to make in the budgeting process. We need to discuss where to spend the money and where we have to cut programs that we can’t afford. Hopefully, we can afford everything and do the best that we can with the money we have. I don’t think we want to go into a bunch of debt either,” shared Willoughby. “The problem is that someone would have to pay it off in the future if we did go into debt. Our linear taxes are going down and we don’t know where the industrial taxes are going with the province taking it over. There are a lot of uncertainties right now,” he added. “The biggest reason I want to run again is to share my experience in making those tough decisions.” He wants better working relations with the City of Camrose. “I’m not opposed to a new swimming pool in Camrose, but I’m opposed to having it always one way for the City. It seems we don’t have any leverage to get what we would like to see. Continued on page 21

Quality education is every child’s right and our responsibility to ensure they receive it!

It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of Camrose as City Councillor for the past 4 years. Much has been accomplished but the work we began is not yet finished. Additional resources have been allocated for much needed road repairs, we have a “made in Camrose” transit system and we have modernized our budgeting system. Additional large infrastructure projects are on the horizon. One of the biggest challenges faced by the next Council will be attempting to balance the needs and wants of our community with an already heavily taxed population – both residential and commercial. I would be honoured and grateful if I could count on your support again to continue this important work.

On Monday, October 16, 2017

believe that it is imperative that the Mayor and Council have fiscal responsibility as one of their primary goals and a continued focus on the “core” needs of Camrose, being roads, water and sewer.

There has to be more give and take and sharing for the region. It is not just the Ohaton water, the relationship needs to be better all the way around. That’s

something both councils need to improve on.” Willoughby is focusing on fiscal responsibility and making decisions that are morally right. “I want to see the County keep the infrastructure

we have in place. Due to the weather, we already have roads that need lots of work and we have to keep up and not cut services in that area. We can’t skimp on that.” Willoughby is running in Division 5 along with Robert Lee.

VOTE CATHIE JOHNSON for City Council A NEW VOICE A few goals I plan to achieve if elected:

• Diversity and inclusion enriches our community. I am committed to ensuring that our City continues to grow in its commitment to the vulnerable and disenfranchised members of our community. • I want the people’s voices to count. I do not feel the council’s function is to TELL you what you need, it is for them to listen and HEAR what you need and act accordingly. I will fight for what you need. • As a theatre producer, I create big productions with little funding. I want to use these skills to help our city meet our fiscal responsibilities. • As a mom, developing more and maintaining our already strong family programming, is very important. I will strive hard to help keep Camrose a community where families want to make their home.

Thank you all for your faith and support

Kevin Hycha running for second term on council.

Kim Isaak, Returning Officer

Hycha will continue to listen to residents’ concerns By Lori Larsen

Having feeling honoured to have represented residents on city council this past term, Kevin Hycha has chosen to run for reelection. Hycha grew up in a small town not far from Camrose and after high school went to trade school to become a license journeyman heavy duty and automotive mechanic. “I moved to Camrose in 1987 to work for Camrose Truck Center (Now Glover International trucks) since the day they opened. Working his way up through the ranks Hycha is now the general manger of the Camrose location

and director of service for all six Glover locations.” Hycha is married to wife Carol, has two children, Amy and Thomas and a family dog, Chloe. When time permits he enjoys golfing, curling, skiing (even tried pickelball) and traveling to different parts of the world. On becoming a councillor, four years ago, Hycha said it is an honour and privilege to serve the residents of Camrose. “It’s taking me a bit longer to understand the municipal way and Municipal Government Act regulations, but I feel with the knowledge and experience I have

now I’m ready to continue to the next term.” Outside of council Hycha sat on the Police Commission board for seven years (three as a citizen at large and four as councillor), the Camrose Regional Solid Waste Authority board, Finance Committee of Council, Subdivision and Development Appeal Board, Camrose Intermunicipal Committee, Municipal Service Level Assessment and Policy Development committees. Hycha would like to see projects through that were started during the last term and see other projects implemented with-

out putting a strain on the city taxes and/or resources of the City adding that fiscal responsibility and operating the City from the Business Case methodology is very important. Hycha explained that being approachable and listening to residents concerns is a fundamental role of being a councillor. “I listen to people’s concerns and explain why certain issues are decided or go back to administration for a review. It is vital for councillors to be available and approachable. Ultimately, if someone has a concern they should reach out to City administration–but if they are

still not satisfied with the answer they should be able to talk to council.” While feeling some residents may have disagreed with some decisions made by council, Hycha said his decisions are always made to benefit the City of Camrose as a whole. “Camrose is a great City, and I hear that whereever I travel when asked where I live,” commented Hycha. “I believe there is much more we can do to make this City even greater and hope to continue to represent the citizens of Camrose on council this next term.”

By Lori Larsen

As a new candidate running for City of Camrose councillor, Tim Doering is a fourth-generation Albertan with previous council experience. Tim has lived in Camrose for two years and prior to that was in Viking for 11 years. He retired from ATCO Gas in 2012 after 40 years. His last posting was in Viking as the ATCO Gas district supervisor responsible for the activities in 26 communities in Alberta “While in Viking, I was on town council for two terms and really enjoyed municipal government,” said Doering. He also served on committees including the Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commissions and Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED). “Working with the Water Commission was a great example of what five communities can do when they come together working for a common goal.”

Doering is presently chairman of the board with East Central Community Futures which is active in Camrose and surrounding communities and is the president of the Camrose Chapter of Gideons Canada. “I was also involved with the Vermilion/Lloydminster PC Party,” he added. As a result of working with numerous town councils with ATCO Gas, Doering gained experience with challenges of municipal governance. Retiring to Camrose was by choice for Doering who said it is a very nice community and he wants to see it to continue to grow and be prosperous. “I have been retired for five years and I enjoy municipal government. I think it is a great way to serve the community.” Doering feels the next four years would be the ideal time to contribute with four years of work and a commitment to the City of Camrose. “I am not very fond of negative politics and know the decades of good previous councils in Camrose have given it the great reputation it has today. It is important to remember what got Camrose to where it is today and continue to grow and prosper while keeping that good reputation.” Doering noted that strong municipal govern-

ments contribute to strong provincial governments and that villages, towns, cities and counties have a lot of influence on provincial government. “I also like that fact that there are eight councillors on City of Camrose council. There should be a good range of perspective and expertise on the various issues that come up. Council means people working together to come to solutions. It is great to have a good team of councillors working for the betterment of the community.” Strategic planning and the operating budget is also of high importance to Doering who commented, “Our entire province must look forward to ‘water for life’ issues. Battle River is already overdrawn on its capacity. Aging infrastructure is a province-wide concern needing provincial and federal help. The present demographics of Camrose are similar to many Alberta communities.” On a final note, Doering said that while Camrose has been known to be the community where seniors come to visit their parents, it is also changing. “With the university, all the recreational facilities, a junior hockey team, great parks systems and a downtown that attracts tourists, Camrose is one of the leading communities in Alberta for attracting young families.”

Bamford returns for indoor show By Murray Green

Country singer Gord Bamford loves Camrose music fans. He made sure a stop in Camrose was in his February Canadian tour plans. He will be on the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre stage on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. He gained a local following because of his Big Valley Jamboree performances, but this time he is excited to play in a more intimate indoor setting. “We haven’t announced a big country star in a while. After some other big announcements (Burton Cummings, Barenaked Ladies) we thought it would be ideal to round out the season with a good country concert,” said Lougheed centre manager Nick Beach. “It gives us a well rounded year of great music. It gives us a good balance, which excites our audience. He has been a consistent performer since 2008.” Australian-born and Alberta-raised, Gord Bamford stands as one of the most decorated artists in Canadian country music with an impressive 24 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) awards, multi Juno nominations and the only two-time winner

out of Nashville’s Country Music Association (CMA) receiving the 2013 and 2015 CMA Global Country Artist award. “He is going on a big tour and Gord is about as bright of an act in country music that there is today. He has had more than 15 huge hits and so many awards that I can’t even list them all,” said Nick. “He is an Albertan that is doing extremely well. We are excited to be getting him into our 584-seat facility with a full band.” But it is his distinctive sound and songwriting ability that defines Bamford as one of country music’s best neotraditional artists and like so many others that have come before him; Bamford is not an overnight success. He has spent the better part of the last 20 years honing his craft, working to get where he is today. “It is fun to get such a bright star coming to our hall. His is still on the rise and has been writing such great music for so long,” Nick added. “He is a good traditional country artist and the Kentucky Headhunters are a party, so we have a good country mix. Bamford’s seventh studio album, Tin Roof, winner of the 2016 CCMA Album of The Year, was released

in April of 2016 with Sony Music Entertainment Canada. Tin Roof follows the Juno nominated Country Junkie album and it’s number one Billboard hit song “When Your Lips are so Close.” The three-time CCMA Male Artist of the Year is a writer on 12 of the 15 tracks for the new album and collaborated with distinguished songwriter/producer Phil O’Donnell (Blake Shelton, Tyler Farr, George Strait). “Phil and I instantly connected in the studio. Working with him really brought a fresh, new sound to this album and I’m really proud of the results,” said Gord. “Phil is truly a genius in the studio. I’m looking forward to getting out on the road and playing this new material live. Gord is a man who believes with his whole heart in giving back. The Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation has generated almost $2.5 million since its inception in 2008 for charities such as the MakeA-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and numerous children’s hospitals across Canada and MUSICOUNTS. “Those organizations have had an impact on my life and that’s why we do

what we do. It’s always great to get out, play music, be on stage and wake up every morning loving what I do. But probably the greatest thing I get to do is interact with a lot of these children and try to make a difference in their lives. It’s hard to comprehend but it’s an awesome thing to see a kid’s face light up who is really sick and all he wants to do is go to Disneyland. It puts it all

into perspective as to why I think God put me on earth to do what I do because it’s helping other people.” That humble, likable approach is what continues to draw legions of new fans to Bamford. But it’s the music that keeps them loyal. Bamford has the amazing ability to evolve, sense where his fans want to go, and take us all along with him.

Autumn denial

The worms were hiding. We poked our boots into puddles, scooped up dirt in the garden and looked for worm trails. Nothing. I really couldn’t blame them, since they were needed for my daughter’s science class where they would be cut in half to see what happens. They must have sensed that we meant them harm. It wasn’t until later that I realized the worms weren’t out on the rainy day because it was too cold. How could this be? Wasn’t it still summer? Then my mom popped over on her bike, full of doom and gloom about a predicted early frost, followed by days of rain. It was a little too “Run, Chicken Little, run, the sky is falling!” for me. I scoffed at her, checked the weather network and learned it was supposed to be a balmy 3C. No need to worry. Then the next day she appeared on her bike again, and this time we ventured into the garden together and started to pull the onions out. And the corn. And beets. And the last of the cucumbers and beans. I realized that the air felt different, and the wind was whistling the word… winter. There was almost a howling tone to the wind. How could I have not noticed that the door to summer had closed so swiftly? I realized that it is a pattern: I am in autumn denial each year. Oh sure, I see that the leaves are changing colours, that there is more of a nip in the air. But it usually takes snowflakes on the ground, or a light frost in the night before I suddenly think, hey, I need to get ready for winter! Finish gathering the garden produce and make my pasta sauce; try pickling those beets that seemed like a good idea to plant in May; bring out the winter jackets and boots; go through our clothes and weed out what is too small. Vacuum the van, empty the motorhome, the list seemed endless! Suddenly our household was thrown into a beehive of activity to prepare for the inevitable cold. I love the joke that in Alberta, these are the four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road maintenance. (Though I think the fourth one should be mosquitoes.) People who used to live in the east gripe that there isn’t really fall in Alberta. That’s because it’s not called fall here, it’s called “almost winter”! I like to think of each season as having its own unique purpose. Spring for planting and new life. Summer for growing food and enjoying the sun. Fall for storing food and getting ready for the cold. Winter for being more indoors, and enjoying quiet hobbies. Maybe crochet some blankets? If winter spells slowing down, then I am looking forward to it. After making 21 saskatoon pies, relish, pickles, applesauce and soon-to-be-made pasta sauce and pickled beets, I feel that summer wasn’t the wholly relaxing time that it was in my youth. I was a bit like the ant in the children’s fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper”, the story where the ant spends all summer scurrying around, preparing for winter, while the grasshopper laughs, plays and creates music. Then winter strikes and the grasshopper is completely unprepared, knocking at ant’s door for a handout. However, I have recently come to the realization that not every stage of life includes a slow season. Meaning, I don’t think I have a slow season anymore. Which means I need to find the slow within the busy. Back to the tale of our worm search: my three-yearold son stayed outside, splushing about in puddles, while I made lunch. When I called him in, he had a mysterious ring of mud all around his mouth. I asked him if he’d been eating mud. He said, with a tone of wondrous surprise, “Mommy, mud turns into dirt in my mouth!” He was truly experiencing the season. Even though there is necessary work this time of year to prepare our gardens and homes for the season ahead, fall still has a lot to offer. Time to enjoy “almost winter” and sample some mud!

FIRE PREVENTION

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Mayor Norm Mayer, right sitting, signs a proclamation declaring Oct. 8 to 14 Fire Prevention Week–Every Second Counts. Joining the mayor at the table is Camrose Fire Department Fire and Life Safety educator Jeff Knopf. Holding the banner are Camrose firefighters Tyson Sikstrom, left and Patrick St. Dennis, right with Captain Camrose looking on.

By Lori Larsen Knowing exactly what to do in the event of a fire occurring in your home can and does save lives. Camrose Fire Department once again joins forces with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in presenting Fire Prevention Week from Oct. 8 to 14. Would you and or your family know exactly what to do when awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of your smoke detector alarm and the smell of smoke? Having a clear, concise and practiced fire escape plan in place, could literally be the difference between life and death. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. That’s why home escape planning is so critical in a fire situation. It ensures that everyone in the household knows how to use that small window of time wisely. “Developing and practicing a home escape plan is like building muscle memory,” said City of Camrose Fire Department and Life Safety educator Jeff

Knopf. “That pre-planning is what everyone will draw upon to snap into action and escape as quickly as possible in the event of a fire.” In an effort to educate and assist Camrose residents on the importance of proper fire safety and developing and practicing a home escape plan the Camrose Fire Department will be hosting a variety of events as part of this year’s Fire Prevention Week– Every Second Counts: Plan 2 Ways Out. “The City of Camrose Fire Department is working in coordination with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the official sponsor of the Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years, to reinforce those potentially life-saving messages,” informed Knopf. The following is a list of the events hosted by the Camrose Fire Department during Fire Prevention Week. Oct. 10, is the Neighborhood Smoke Alarm testing sponsored by Camrose Canadian Tire. Oct. 11 from 6:30 to 7 p.m. is the Camrose Great

Escape. Residents are encouraged to participate in the City wide fire drill. Firefighters will be driving through the City of Camrose and giving out prizes to participating families. Be at your meeting spot at 6:30 p.m. to participate. Oct. 15, a pancake breakfast will be held at the Camrose Fire Department from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. There will be a free Raffle sponsored by Tofield Packers. As part of continual fire safety education Grade 4 students within the City of Camrose will each receive a free smoke detector to be placed as needed in their home. Partnering on this project is Wild Rose Coop and the Camrose Fire Department Firefighters Association. For more information on Fire Prevention Week activities in Camrose, visit www.camrose.ca.

Inspired by the joy of helping others Classical music and politics

The controversy surrounding a recent concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles raises the long standing and difficult question of whether or not the politics of a musician, composer, or conductor should have any bearing on the experience of the music itself. On Aug. 16, radio host and author Dennis Prager was a guest conductor at a fundraising concert for the Alexander Carpenter, Santa Monica Symphony Music, Augustana Orchestra at the Disney Hall. Campus, University Prager is an outspoken conof Alberta servative who enjoys an audience of millions, both over the airwaves and on YouTube through his PragerU video series. He is not a professional conductor. At best he is a mediocre amateur, a classical music aficionado for whom conducting is a hobby that is occasionally indulged. Prager was invited to conduct one obscure piece by Joseph Haydn with the Symphony and his invitation was clearly a financial-promotional choice, and not a musical one. This event quickly became a lightening rod for controversy. Ahead of the performance, several members of the orchestra indicated that they would not play under Prager’s baton, lest they lend legitimacy to his political positions. They also wrote an open letter to audience members, suggesting a boycott of the concert as a protest against what they called Prager’s “horribly bigoted” views on gay marriage, his support for Donald Trump, and his characterization of leftism as a “cancer” in American society. For his part, Prager insists that he has never used the conducting podium to express political points of view, and has derided the left for politicizing his appearance with the orchestra. My point here is neither to defend Prager’s positions, nor to support the activism of the musicians who protested the performance. Rather, I am interested what happens when classical music and politics mix and specifically how we should listen—or if we should listen at all—to music made by those with political views we consider odious, or even simply dissonant with our own. Those of us who study and love classical music must, for example, come to terms with the fact that some of the greatest German composers and conductors of the 20th century, such as Herbert von Karajan and Wilhelm Furtwängler, were morally compromised through their complicity with Nazism. They remained in Germany and continued to work and thrive under Hitler’s regime during the 30s and 40s even as their Jewish counterparts were being persecuted. Similarly, how do we approach Richard Wagner, perhaps the greatest opera composer of the 19th century, but also a rabid anti-Semite and favorite composer of Hitler? Because of its distasteful ideological associations and the composer’s personal views, Wagner’s music—among the most sublime dramatic music ever written—is, for some, inseparable from its connections to Nazism. Indeed, Wagner cannot be performed in Israel to this day. For some, then, the music of composers like Wagner carry with it unwholesome political baggage, and listening and enjoyment requires a certain amount of internal negotiation, to separate the art from the man, and the art from the politics. For others, music simply stands alone as that most romantic and transcendent art, and as such is largely distant from ideology and the personal foibles of artists. Perhaps the case of Wagner could inform us about the situation with Dennis Prager? I am not suggesting that Prager is like Wagner. But, as Alex Ross, music critic at the New Yorker has argued, these days we find ourselves having lost the ability to engage with ideologically compromised composers like Wagner with what Ross identifies as the “glorious interpretive confusion” that pre-dated the Nazis. Now, he insists, we are condemned to hear Wagner one-dimensionally, “through Hitler’s ears.” Do we condemn ourselves to a similar fate when we too readily and easily conflate the political views of a Dennis Prager with the music that he happens to support? Where is the suppleness of our minds and ears, that we cannot separate Prager the right-wing political pundit from Prager the advocate of classical music, or indeed, from the music itself?

By Lori Larsen Helping others really does improve ones own well being and when gratitude comes in heaps and bounds of smiles, hugs and unbridled joy, one can’t help but feel elated. Having recently retired from his position with Centra Cam Vocational Training Association, Dave Chamberlain concedes it is a big part of his life that he will sincerely miss.

of getting he/she is twice as happy as we are...how can that be?” Perhaps bottling that joy and prescribing it would be the best medicine this world could have. “Once you spend time with the clients you soon realize they have feelings just like everyone else and they bring more joy to the table then anyone else I know.” Aside from the fulfill-

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Centra Cam client Cheryl Carter thanks Dave Chamberlain for all his years of service on the board.

Dave began with Centra Cam Association in 1981 after a fellow Telus employee, at the time, whose daughter was a Centra Cam client, suggested Dave get involved with the organization. Admittedly Dave had very little knowledge of what Centra Cam was all about. “I got a membership and subsequent vote, then the next thing I knew he suggested I should be on the board. The rest is history,” smiled Dave. Over his 26 years with the association Dave assumed the position of director, Vice-president and president, for the past 12 or more years. Dave has come to appreciate the valuable contribution Centra Cam plays in the lives of the clients and the community and proposes that many people lack a clear understanding of what it is all about. “Out of out of the 85 clients we have right now 59 are employed,” explained Dave. “Other employees of businesses that Centra Cam clients are working for will often say they could be having the worse day and a Centra Cam client will come in to work, all bubbly and happy, and despite not having the same advantages we all have or the things that we are capable

ment Dave gained from working with the clients he said the Centra Cam staff showed him the difference between working to make a living and living to work for others. “Everybody that works there has their heart there,” said Dave with a deep sense of admiration. “It’s not the highest paying vocation in any sense of the word but they (staff) are there because of the clients, that is where their hearts are, that is where they feel they make a difference.” In speaking of executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg, Dave couldn’t say enough about her dedication to the clients and the continual sustainability of Centra Cam. “She is really well respected by all the clients and the staff. It is her life there, she’s been there 36 years now.” Seeing the organization grow and experiencing a change in the mindsets of, not only governments but society, about the importance of integrating clients into all aspects including school and the workforce, has been more than rewarding for Dave. “Instead of having our clients kept out of society, integration took over and developed the philosophy of getting these clients out into the workplace.”

Dave acknowledged that the community of Camrose has been exceptional in supporting the clients, including offering employment, volunteering and generous donations. “About 20 years ago the Emergency Clothing and Furniture Depot was located in a run down building and we knew we had to find another facility.” After a donation of land from a private donor the Camrose Kinsmen Club, stepped up to the plate and with the help of Kinsmen members, community volunteers and Centra Cam staff and clients a facility was built and paid for in about seven months. “There are about 250 families a month that use that facility now,” added Dave. Dave also noted that the Kinsmen are huge supporters of Centra Cam and donated the land where the present facility is located, which through the hard work of staff and clients fund raising was paid off in two years. But clearly it is not all hard work at Centra Cam. Clients, staff and board members alike revel in the great times they have during the annual Christmas party and the Bowl-a-thon fundraising event. “The clients talk about the bowl-a-thon for the entire year. Teams from different organizations and businesses in Camrose and area come and join the fun.” At least one Centra Cam client is put on each of the teams to encourage interaction and connectivity. “It is great exposure for Centra Cam and I encourage anybody that is looking to give their lives a little more depth and meaning to become involved, whatever way they can,” Emphasizing the importance of volunteering Dave said being with Centra Cam has been one of the most rewarding experiences. “When you first go there you may be a bit overwhelmed but once you become more comfortable and you get to meet some of the clients and they are high-fiving you as you are walk down the hall, you soon realize it is just like family.” A family that is sincerely happy to see you and are filled with pure joy and genuineness. “So many people are trying to find themselves or the meaning of life when really it is right there in front them.” Who do you know as a community Difference Maker?

Fond memories brought back with 1982 GMC truck By Murray Green

Rick Malenchak of Camrose is proud of his 1982 GMC High Sierra truck with a short box. “My parents drove ones like this and I’ve always wanted a similar one, so that is why I picked this model of truck for myself,” he said, on his choice of vehicle to fix up. He put in a 1968, 327 cc motor with double pump heads in it to give it the added pep needed for making runs around the city. “It has a turbo 350 transmission and I have made lots of little upgrades here and there,” said Rick. “It’s now a fun little truck to drive.” Back in 1982 you could purchase a GMC for $5,400. Bread was 50 cents a loaf, but a gallon of gas was about 91 cents. “It is all original, as much as possible. I didn’t add things that it didn’t have before, except for the different motor,” Rick said. The C/K was Chevrolet and GMC’s full-size pickup truck line from 1965 to 1999 in Canada. The first Chevrolet pickup truck was introduced in 1924, though in-house designs did not appear until 1930. C indicated two-wheel drive and K indicated four-wheel drive. The aging C/K light-duty pickup truck was replaced with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra names in 1999. Until this time, the names Silverado and Sierra were used to identify the trim level of the C/K trucks. “I found this truck in Three Hills. A friend of mine owned it for 12 years, so I have known the history of the truck for 15 years now. Three years ago, I lowered the front end, added the different motor and transmission, and did some rear end work.” A mid-life cycle cosmetic facelift and mechanical refresh was carried out for the 1981 model year and again in 1982. In response to 1979 energy crisis, the 1981 rework featured several fuel saving techniques to help make the RoundedLine C/K-Series pickups more fuel efficient. Engineers turned to wind tun-

nels to resculpt the front end with new sheet metal, reducing areas, which could hinder air flow and cause drag. “My friend let it go too far. I cleaned it up. It needs a paint job, but you do a little bit at a time. This truck is a fun driver and we (fellow car club members) are not scared to get them wet. It isn’t made of sugar. It’s made to be a regular driver. I built it to enjoy it.” A sleeker front bow-like look emerged, similar to a ship’s bow with the front end being gently swept back from the center. New dual tier halogen headlamps became available with the deluxe front appearance package. Mechanical updates included more anti-corrosion techniques, reduced weight, and a new 5.0 L 305 cubic inch V-8 with electronic spark control. “I like to go to every car show that I can make. If I’m not working, I’m with my family or at car show.

I enjoy talking vehicles with other people. I like the respect that I get from the older gentlemen by having and taking care of a vehicle. People look at this truck like it is one of a kind and respect it. When I drive my 2014 truck, I see 20 others just like it going down the road and it is like everyone else. There is nothing special about it. The nice thing about driving a classic is that you make it your own,” added Rick. A new shift-on-the-move four-wheel drive system with two-speed dual range New Process 208 aluminium transfer case was introduced on K-Series pickups for the 1981 model year. The shift-on-the-move fourwheel drive system featured new automatic self locking hubs and synchronized direct high range planetary gearing, such that the truck could be shifted from twowheel drive, to fully locked four-wheel drive at speeds of up to 25 mph.

Once the shift from twowheel drive to four-wheel drive was made, the vehicle could be driven at any for-

ward or reverse speed. Four drive modes were offered: Two High, Four High, Neutral, and Four Low.

Keeping of urban chickens in Camrose discussed By Lori Larsen

At a prior request from council, City of Camrose administration examined the possibility of keeping urban chickens within City limits. A report was presented by City of Camrose director of planning and development Aaron Leckie noting that municipalities, such as Okotoks, St. Albert and Edmonton are now permitting the keeping of urban chickens under pilot programs and some municipalities have extended to permanent status. “There are concerns related to bio-security, cleanliness, noise and nuisance,” explained Leckie. “On the other side, people are very satisfied with being able to produce eggs on their own property. It goes both ways and, in some jurisdictions, it really depends on the applicant on whether it becomes a nuisance or not and how well they maintain and look after these laying hens.” In completing the information, Leckie estimated the cost to the City to accommodate the keeping of urban chickens within Camrose. “For running a pilot program in St. Albert, they estimated the cost, not including staff time,

to be roughly $15,000. I think that is quite a low estimate when you start looking at the advertising, hosting open houses, printing material such as brochures, staff hours, policing and enforcement and even just routine checkups. That all requires time.” Leckie estimated that the staff hours alone would cost $28,000 with an all in cost of approximately $41,000. These costs were presented in a supplementary report during the committee of whole meeting on Oct. 2 “I based this figure on other enforcement activities that we have contemplated in the past,” said Leckie. “It is the monitoring and enforcement that takes the most resources. If we were to focus solely on education and let the program run itself, without monitoring, there may be complaints generated. But that may be the best way of dealing with it so we are not constantly checking up on it. “The question is one of responsibility and, if the bylaw is changed, would we have the responsibility for the health and safety of the animals as well?” Council inquiries

Councillor Max Lindstrand indicated he has

received a few inquiries over the years from residents about the keeping of urban chickens in Camrose. “The cost you have outlined seems like quite a high figure. It strikes me that we are operating without enough information in terms of we don’t know what the level of public interest is in this. My suggestion would be to get an expression of the level of interest. “I would not be in favour of spending $45,000 and we end up housing less than 100 chickens in town.” Councillor Greg Wood also voiced concern over spending the funds without knowing the level of interest in the community. City manager Malcolm Boyd asked Leckie, “Based on your knowledge of how

these projects rolled out in other communities, do you think it is feasible for a project of this nature to end up being cost neutral?” Leckie replied, “I do not. Essentially none of our processes are cost neutral.” Councillor PJ Stasko inquired as to whether or not Leckie knew if there were any urban chickens being kept in Camrose at this point. Leckie replied, “There definitely are and they don’t fall under any regulations because they are currently prohibited. “As well, we get one to two inquiries every year about the regulations of laying hens. We send out a letter with the information on the current bylaw and regulations on livestock.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland inquired as to whether or not the chickens that are presently being kept in town are being monitored. “They are currently not being monitored at all, unless there has been a registered complaint,” replied Leckie indicating, to his knowledge, there had not been any complaints. Councillor Bill Sears agreed that he too would like to see some public input on the matter.

Mayor Norm Mayer questioned council as to whether or not they would like to pursue further public input. “Would we be building false hopes to ask the public if they are interested if we don’t have the intention of doing it?” Councillor Kevin Hycha said he was not in favour of pursuing the matter at this time. “What is going to happen if we allow the chickens to be housed and there are issues with bordering neighbors. I agree with councillor Wood and I’m not sure if this is an avenue I want to go down at this time.” Councillor Wood advised that more investigation into the keeping of urban chickens may be needed to clarify the real risks to bordering neighbours. During the Oct. 2 committee of whole meeting Leckie presented a full report on the concerns of biosecurity and the resources that would be needed should the keeping of urban chickens in Camrose be allowed. Council will be considering further discussion on the matter.

Although Camrose Golf Course professional Bill Penny is retiring as the manager, he won’t be leaving Camrose. “I came here in 2008 and it’s my 10th season in Camrose. It just felt like it was the right time for me to retire. When I decided to go to Camrose it wasn’t with the intension of an early retirement, but to retire here. This is my 47th year with the PGA. I was told that you will know when it is time to retire and I first started thinking about that last year,” explained Bill. “It is time to enjoy ourselves outside of golf. My wife Marnie has been behind the counter since I started. We are a team and Marnie has been a big asset to me over the years and the success that I have had,” he shared. “It’s time to enjoy our grandchildren. Our plan is to stay in Camrose right now because we really like Camrose. Our grandchildren are seven and four and in Spruce Grove, so not too far away.” However, retiring from teaching golf isn’t here yet. “It’s time to move on, but I really love coaching the Augustana Vikings team and young golfers, so I will be still doing some of that,” shared Bill. “I want to stay involved with golf. I have some students, not just in Camrose, but at surrounding courses, that I give lessons to. I have about seven junior programs within an hour of Camrose that I give lessons with.” Bill will continue with lessons, but it will be on his more relaxed time schedule. “I’m looking forward

to teaching two or three days a week, rather than every day running of the business. I’m very proud of the development with the juniors and onto the university level. Especially here in a small community. It is rewarding seeing some of the best golfers at Augustana who come from Camrose.” Bill is the coach on the Vikings program and some of those golfers have gone on to provincials and national university events. “We don’t have the funding to attract the big names from larger centres, so we have to teach the ones we have here. I want to continue and it is a short season. Now I will have more time to help recruit players.” Bill’s heart is still with the golf course that he will be leaving shortly after Thanksgiving. “For a community this size, Camrose has a great golf course. That’s why I came here. When I first put my hat to come here, I didn’t give it much of a thought because I hadn’t played it for 20 years. When I saw it, it was great. The first couple of years were difficult, but things turned around and people accepted me. It has been a really nice relationship with the city.” He had great praise for his grounds superintendant Darren McDermott. “People don’t realize how good of a golf course this is and how good of condition it is. That goes along with the golf course. It’s a total package.” Bill has attracted several provincial and junior tournaments over the years and he expects that to continue in the future.

Getzlaf attends Buffaloes’ games By Murray Green

The Edmonton Eskimos helped sponsor Football Day in Camrose by bringing in players, Punter the mascot, Cheer Team members and a bounce house to help promote the growth of amateur football in the Camrose Area. Eskimo player Chris Getzlaf was greeted by football fans and players at Kin Park. “It means a lot to me to be able to help minor football and support the youth playing the game. Every team that I have played on has had great community support. I want to support those communities by giving back and helping children play the sport,” explained Chris as signed autographs for football fans at Kin Park. “To be able to come out to events like this shows that you appreciate that support and see the future players of the game.” He recalled his decision to make a career out of football. “It brings back memories of when I played at a younger age. I had a lot of passion for both sports (football and hockey). My brother Ryan plays hockey and I chose football. I was trying out for midget tripleA in Grade 12 and I came home from practice thinking about how I could still play football and be the captain of the team when hockey was interfering and overlapping it. Then I decided to stick with football because I didn’t want to miss the season and I was lucky to make a career out of playing the game of football. I loved football just a little more than hockey.” Although his brother has won a Stanley Cup, Chris has added a Grey Cup to his collection of hardware as well. “It was pretty amazing to play for the hometown team (Saskatchewan Roughriders) that I grew up watching and loving. It was a true blessing to play for them and I had many great years there,” said Chris. “This is my 10th season in the league, so the sport has been good to me. I have all kinds of good memories of playing there. Last year, I had the opportunity to go to Edmonton and I didn’t know what to expect. I was amazed when I came to this organization that I was so overwhelmed with support. It shows that it is a great football community as well. I’m not sure what it is, but western Canadian fans

Gudrun Marie Johansen December 3, 1932 ~ September 22, 2017 Gudrun “Marie” Johansen of Camrose, passed away on Friday September 22, 2017 at the age of 84 years. Gudrun Marie Andersen was born December 3, 1932 in Odense, Fyn in Denmark. She was the oldest of three children. After completing finishing school, Gudrun married her sweetheart, Peder Johansen on August 6, 1955. They lived on the family farm, Lille Tradmark in Filshov, Denmark. After the loss of their stillborn daughter, they had their second child Aase Marie. Farming had been very harsh for the young family and important decisions had to be made. So leaving all her family behind, Gudrun put her faith in Peder and they immigrated to Canada on March 26, 1960. Soon after their arrival they had their third child John Erling. Two years later they welcomed their fourth child Dennis Gordon. Gudrun’s faith was put to the test when Peder had serious unexpected health issues. With the help from family and friends she was able to manage the care of their three young children until Peder recovered. After the death of her father in 1966, Gudrun’s Mother came for her only visit to Canada. This was the first visit and communications from her family and it meant so much to her. In 1967 Peder, Gudrun and Aase became Canadian Citizens and soon after welcomed their fifth child George Edward. Life flourished over the years and in 1975 they purchased the family home in Camrose. In 1980 Gudrun’s sister and brother came for their 25th anniversary. This was the first of many memorable visits with her family from Denmark. Gudrun and Peder enjoyed doing everything together such as dancing, fishing and taking their grandchildren camping in “Old Betsy” every summer. Left to cherish her memory, children: Aase (Vern) of Barrhead, John (Ina) of Clyde, Dennis (Pat) of Barrhead and George (Wanda) of Thorhild, Many cousins, nieces and nephews in Canada and Denmark. Gudrun was predeceased by her stillborn daughter in 1957, husband Peder Johansen. Parents Niels and Inger Andersen, sister Karna and brother Hans Jorgen. Gudrun will be greatly missed by all but she is now where she wants to be, with Peder. A time for viewing was held at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, September 28, 2017 from the Burgar Funeral Home. A funeral service was held on Friday September 29, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. from Scandia Lutheran Church, Armena. Interment followed in the Scandia Lutheran Cemetery.

Tyler Winegarden June 13, 1995 ~ September 26, 2017 Tyler Robert Winegarden was born on June 13, 1995 in Red Deer, Alberta to proud parents Juanita Rucki and Michael Winegarden. During Tyler’s early years he lived in Camrose, Alberta, where he spent many a day sneaking out of his playpen or bed to go and spend time with his grandfather John Rucki who lived next door. Tyler loved spending time with his grandpa, helping him fix cars or whatever else needed fixing. After their time together, grandpa spent many hours looking for his tools around the yard that Tyler had used to fix what needed to be fixed. Tyler started playing hockey at the age of 7, he also enjoyed fishing, playing with his toys and learning about science. In 2004, Tyler moved to Beaverlodge, Alberta where he played hockey and was goalie for the Beaverlodge Lacrosse team at the Alberta Summer games in 2006. He also was a competitive swimmer for the swim team. He enjoyed riding his dirt bike, camping and hanging out with his friends. In 2007, his family moved back to Camrose, where he was excited that he could spend more time with his grandpa. Tyler played hockey and attended Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Catholic School. In 2009, Tyler and his family moved to Cold Lake, Alberta where Tyler attended Cold Lake High School. He played on a Cold Lake hockey team for one year. Tyler started working at the A&W and he enjoyed hanging out with his friends as most teenagers enjoy doing. In 2011, Tyler decided to seek out full-time work instead of continuing his high school education. He worked at various jobs around the Cold Lake area. Tyler moved back to Camrose in 2013 to live with his grandparents where he got his driver’s license and soon after, he was hired as a roughneck for Mustang Well Servicing. Tyler loved working on the rigs, he never backed away from the hard work and long hours. In 2013, Tyler reconnected with Brittany Sanguez who had been his junior high school sweetheart in Camrose. When Tyler and Brittany began dating, Tyler shared a bond with Brittany’s son Brantley. In 2014, Tyler’s ex-girlfriend from Cold Lake gave birth to their daughter Ava Brumsey. Late 2014, Tyler and Brittany found out they were expecting a daughter of their own and welcomed Charlotte Sanguez on July 4, 2015. In April 2016, Tyler and Brittany moved to Daysland and in August of 2017, Tyler moved back to Camrose and lived with his grandparents.

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.

ACREAGES

By Murray Green

The United Conservative Party is seeking a new leader from four candidates since the Wildrose party and Progressive Conservatives merged. While the names Brian Jean and Jason Kenney are familiar with most Albertans, the former Wildrose president Jeff Callaway is challenging them for the position that could turn into the next premier of the province. Doug Schweitzer is also running. “I have a different plan. I believe in the potential of Alberta and I spent nine years working on ideas to improve business. I would like a natural gas-based economy to take control of our destiny,” said Callaway, on his downtown Camrose visit on Sept. 14. “We need the Churchill port operating and to get a pipeline running to it and get our economy going again. The other thing I want is to bring back people investing in Alberta again. We have seen an exodus of capital and business. That is really a structure and strategy to lower our regulatory burdens in this province, and get investors investing back in Alberta.” Callaway, a financial planner, was a member of Wildrose when it only had 1,000 members. “I have been working on bringing the conservative-minded

people together for nine years. I’m known within the party as a strong proponent of unity. My involvement in provincial politics is different than Jason Kenney and his federal track record. I worked with Brian Jean and we have different leadership styles. I have a real focus on the grassroots and I know what we need to do to win the next election. I’ve seen the mistakes that the leaders have made in the past. I was the guy who said save the party when Danielle Smith crossed the floor.” Party members will be voting on a new leader between 9 a.m. Oct. 26 and 5 p.m. Oct. 28. To be eligible to vote, memberships must be purchased by 5 p.m. on Sept. 29. Members will also be required to register to vote and provide proof of identity (as required by the Agreement in Principle) by 5 p.m. on Oct. 13. “Brian Jean has rolled out some policies, but I think that is a mistake. We just unified the Wildrose and Conservatives parties and I think the membership should be part of the policymaking process,” added Callaway. “We need to build policies together that will form this party. I want everyone to have their say.” Callaway’s three big ideas include bringing investment back to Alberta, finding port access for

exports and to bring jobs back to the province. He wants to see Albertans working again. “I’ve been driving around towns and industrial areas (like Nisku). There are a lot of empty bays that used to be full and now the yards are full of equipment sitting around. There is grass growing in the parking lots. I do hear the coffee shops are doing well. That is because people don’t have jobs, so they are going for coffee early in the morning. I still want the coffee shops to be busy, but at 5 p.m. after work, rather than during the middle of the day when people could be working.” The government is growing a massive debt that will have to be paid off by the children in the province. “At the time nine years ago, the best way to become the premier or MLA in this province was through the Wildrose party and I’ve travelled a slow long road. I’m on a mission to get Albertans back to work and it is about helping people and not about me. People need to get involved in the political process.” Leadership debates will be held in Red Deer Oct. 3, in Fort McMurray on Oct. 12 and in Lethbridge on Oct. 17.

Woman causes a disturbance and damage to property Sept. 30

Camrose Police conducted a traffic stop and determined the vehicle did not have registration or insurance. The driver of the vehicle was charged accordingly. Police received a complaint of a disturbance occurring at a residence in Camrose. When police arrived they noted the owner of the residence to be intoxicated and she was causing damage to items in her house. Police checks on the woman determined she was bound by an undertaking with a condition not to consume alcohol. The 37-year-old woman was arrested and released on a promise to appear. Sept. 29

A semi-truck carrying a load of trusses struck the traffic lights at the intersection of 48 Avenue and 65 Street. A witness provided the name of the company on the side of the truck that caused the damage. Police are following up with the investigation. A complaint was received of a theft of tools from a vehicle parked on Erickson Drive in the 6200 block. A Mastercraft socket and wrench set along with a pair of work boots were stolen sometime during the last week. A motor vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of 48 Street and 51 Avenue when a male driver failed to proceed in safety after stopping. It was very fortunate that neither driver was injured in the collision. Police further determined that the male who caused the collision did not have registration or insurance, was using a stolen licence plate, had an expired licence, and provided a sample of his breath which contained alcohol contrary to the conditions of his graduated drivers licence. The 21-year-old was charged accordingly.

There’s a lot to celebrate in

Battle River School Division A great year of learning At all grade levels, students in Battle River School Division learn and grow every single day. Their learning takes place in classrooms and sports fields, through focused academics and creative endeavours.

Students from Daysland participated in cardboard boat construction

Every single school has a long list of successes for the 2016-2017 school year. From students who were able to succeed where previously they struggled and students who learned new ways to show what they know, to those who built positive relationships with others, treated each other with respect and kindness and those who developed leadership skills both in and out of the classroom, it’s been a great year of learning. Battle River tries hard to ensure that every student is supported to develop characteristics that will make them good citizens and healthy individuals, in addition to achieving their best possible academic results.

Ecolé Charlie Killam School students welcomed younger friends to learn more about music.

Students at Ecolé Camrose Composite High School celebrated Canada’s anniversary by making a handprint flag.

Students at Holden curled up with a good book.

Students take an active role in their learning and these pages highlight just a small sample of all the different ways in which everyone in Battle River is growing to greatness.

New Norway hosted the annual Spartan Run, encouraging students of all ages to be fit and active.

Always moving for The work of learning and teaching is never finished! In Battle River School Division students are always moving forward and so are the staff. We are continuously improving our learning environments and our understanding of the diverse backgrounds and learning needs of students, in order to come closer to achieving our vision of Every Student, Every Day, A Success.

Literacy is an important area of focus for students at all grade levels. Today’s students must have the ability, confidence and willingness to engage with language so they can communicate verbally, in writing and in using technology.

During the 2016-2017 school year, Battle River offered literacy support to teachers at all grade levels, in order to ensure that students continue to move forward in their literacy development. Literacy sessions were also organized for parent groups. In addition, the school division was pleased to welcome an English Language Learning consultant, to assess and support the needs of students for whom English is not their first language.

Truth and Reconciliation is an important part of acknowledging and learning from Canada’s history. The process started by the Federal Conservative government several years ago continues to be an area of focus for schools, as they act upon the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Teachers and students alike are learning more about Canada’s First Peoples and celebrating their contributions to our shared history.

Did you know… In the 2016-2017 school year there were about 430 students in Battle River schools for whom English is a second (third, or more!) language. Here’s a list of the first languages spoken in BRSD:

Afrikaans German Korean Tiginrya Arabic Gujarati Portugese Ukrainian Chinese Haitian Punjabi Urdu Creole Hindi Russian Vietnamese Danish Igbo Spanish Visaya English Japanese Tagalog Yoruba French

ward Welcome to the new Bashaw School! BRSD was delighted to be able to open a new school in the community of Bashaw during the 2016-2017 year, after about 18 months of construction.

Welcoming athletes from across the province allows our local sports teams to show off both their schools and their skills. Ecolé Camrose Composite High School hosted provincial volleyball competition in November, while Bawlf School brought basketball competition to their site in March.

Join us on social media! Celebrating excellence in 2016-2017 included acknowledging Ecolé Camrose Composite High School automotives student Curtis Luchak, who brought home medals from each of the regional, zone, provincial and national skills competitions in which he competed. It also meant celebrating bus mechanic Marty MacGregor, who won a provincial skills competition of his own, and won the right to compete at the national level in November 2017.

Battle River is always looking for new ways to ensure that parents and community members are up to date on what’s happening in our school division. Schools are moving to using automated message programs, as well as electronic newsletter distribution to save on paper costs and also get information straight into parents’ email inboxes. An increasing number of schools and school councils, as well as the school division, have Twitter and Facebook accounts. Follow us!

Where did the money go in 2016-2017?

6.10%

Battle River School Division works hard to ensure resources are allocated in ways that serve the best interests of students. That’s why nearly 76% of the $85 million in expenditures for the 2016-2017 school year went directly to student instruction. That amount includes the cost of ensuring schools have adequate staff, that there are specialized programs available to meet student needs and that our technology and learning resources are continually updated. A further 6.1 percent of expenditures was budgeted to transport children to and from school each day. Operating and maintaining school facilities, creating positive environments in which students and staff can spend their days, accounted for another 13.1% of budgeted spending. Almost 1.5 percent was directed to external services, which includes providing mental health and personal support programs for students, as well as promoting our schools and programs internationally, in order to welcome students from across the globe to join us here in Battle River.
