For the 17th consecutive year, Sahakarini will host a fall

Loaves and Fishes Dinner

Open to the public, the evening will focus on raising much of the money required for remarkable, philanthropic work for the coming year. Together We SHINE is this year’s banquet theme. The word SHINE is an acronym coined by the group depicting the mandate of Sanitation and Hygiene Innovation in Education. Sahakarini, a Camrose-based organization, is currently very focused on bringing fresh water, improved health and better living conditions for the Maasai pastoralists in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. One of the partners in this initiative is Rocky Mountain Soap Company. This company has manufactured a wonderful and special soap which will be sold at the fundraising dinner at the Norsemen Inn on Saturday, November 4, 2017. A portion of each sale will be donated to SHINE. Kelly Perrault, from Rocky Mountain Soap Company, will be the guest speaker at the dinner. For more information call 780.672.8222.

WORKING WELL WORKSHOP Presented by

Camrose County

Informative water well management workshop will help residents protect their water wells. Have you had your well water tested in the last two years? Have old unused wells on your property been properly sealed and decommissioned? Have you ever shock chlorinated your well? Do you know the age and depth of your well, or how it was constructed? According to Alberta water specialist Ken Williamson, if you answered no to any of these questions, your groundwater supply could be at risk. Despite the fact that 450,000 Albertans rely on groundwater for household use, few know that proper water well construction, siting, and maintenance can help protect your well from contamination. To ensure the safety of your water well, you should also know how far your septic system is from your well. Septic tanks should be regularly pumped and inspected. You should also disinfect your well on a regular basis. It is also important to regularly test and document the quality and quantity of water from your well. By keeping good records you can see how water quality and well performance has changed over time. Proper well maintenance and operation can save you costly repairs and ensure your well water yields are sustained over many years. If you’d like to find out if your groundwater is at risk and learn what you can do to protect your well, attend a free water well management workshop being hosted by Camrose County, and presented by the Working Well Program, with technical expertise from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Alberta Environment and Parks, Alberta Health Services and licensed water well drillers on

Letters to the Editor The Halloween Creature—a true story

“A funny thing happened on the way home from rehearsal,” could be an opening line for one of Ken Valgardson’s comedy routines. You might know Ken, local retired teacher and stand-up comic. He’s performed in comedy clubs for 30 years across Canada, the United States and even in the Middle East to entertain troops. But this story happened in Camrose and it’s my all-time favourite Halloween story. ***

Back in the mid-1980s around Halloween, local theatre group Churchmice Players put on Frankenstein–the ghoulish story of Doctor Frankenstein who created a “Creature” out of various body parts (stolen from dead bodies) and a large dose of electricity. Ken played the role of the Creature. At the dress rehearsal a few nights before Halloween, Ken was in full Creature make-up: waxen skin, hollow eyes, scars on his face and hands. In his huge heavy costume boots, Ken’s creature stood seven feet tall. The Creature gets shot during the play, and during rehearsal they practiced with two different blood bags that Ken would break when shot. His entire torso was covered in fake blood. Usually after a dress rehearsal the actors shower and clean up before leaving. However, being the nice guy he is, Ken loaned his towel to another actor and the other actor took the towel home. That left Ken all sticky with stage blood and make up, muttering as he got in his truck to go home. What happened on the way home from rehearsal didn’t start out to be funny. ***

I was so disappointed at the percentage of those who could vote actually really got out and voted. About 30 per cent is a normal number, but at the same time is a complete fail. One of the reasons given to me was, “I do not care.” Another reason was “I do not know enough about politics.” Whatever the reason you decided to not vote, is not acceptable. I was so disappointed that only 30 per cent of those able to vote actually voted. I have been a taxi driver for 24 years. When people talk about distracted driving, they may not realize that taxi companies who answer the taxi phone line out of the cars is

another form of distracted driving. I have heard many complaints over the years in car dispatching services. I am of the opinion that Camrose needs a bylaw, which forces all cab companies to have a 24 hour staffed dispatch patch area. I have written some of the city councillors who some of them agreed that hands free is just as distractive as answering the phone by holding it to one’s ear. When I started, distracted driving was not a big deal. Neither was drinking and driving. Times have changed. If we as a society want to keep our visitors and residents safe, we need to force cab companies to answer their lines safer. This is just my opinion and something for you to think about. Lorne Vanderwoude. Camrose Keep writing

Murray, I just want to say how much we appreciate what you write! Please keep writing! The Koyczan article was so interesting! What an apt comment on “bullying” (as Albertans endure Eggen bullying in pur-

suit of his myopic mission for his chosen (LGBTQ) minority! He violates the Alberta Bill of Rights, tramples Albertans’ freedom of religion (adherence to their faith/beliefs), by threatening to withhold government grants and/or revoking their accreditation/shutting down school jurisdictions who fail to comply to his misguided edicts (e.g. the Kingman Christian School; Catholic and Baptist School Boards, etc.) Plus he ignores the signatures of roughly close to 40,000 petitioners on the math and parental rights issues! So reading about Shane’s journey, his survival and successes was encouraging. Plus, your article about the impacts the fashion industry was more “food for thought.” Again, well written... connecting with your readers and informing us of what goes on behind the scenes. Things that inform us...and should impact how we live our lives. Murray, you make the Booster worth reading! Thank you! M. R. Leithead, Bawlf

Ken was driving his truck north across an intersection. It was dark and he didn’t see a boy on a bicycle coming from the east. The boy ran into Ken’s truck. Ken stopped the truck and got out. Knowing first aid, he didn’t move the boy. He checked for injuries and treated the boy for shock. He took off his jacket to cover the boy, thus exposing the mess of make-up and fake blood. The boy was shaken, but didn’t appear to be seriously hurt–maybe more startled by Ken’s appearance than by the collision. The next person who arrived on the scene was even more startled. The driver took one look at Ken and said, “My God, I’ll call an ambulance.” Ken had a little trouble explaining that he was fine, it was the boy he was concerned about. ***

About this time the police arrived. They too were taken aback by Ken’s appearance. He again went through his “I’m fine, check the boy” routine. The boy seemed to be okay and the police set to work drawing chalk marks on the pavement and sorting out what had happened. At this point the boy said, “I think I’m bleeding.” Everybody’s heart stopped. “Where?” Ken asked the boy. “Here,” the boy said, putting his hand on his stomach. Everybody was thinking the same dreadful thought: “Oh no; internal injuries.” Gingerly, they unbuttoned the boy’s shirt. A ghastly sight confronted them. ***

The boy had been on his way home with take-out Chinese food. He’d put the Chinese food inside his shirt to keep warm. The cartons had broken open. When the boy felt something warm and liquid run down his skin, he thought he was bleeding. Actually, it was pineapple sauce. A disgusting mess–but not fatal! ***

The police officers instructed Ken to go down to the police station and provide a statement about the collision. “Could I just go home and clean up a bit first?” Ken asked. No, he could not. And that’s how it came about that a seven-foot creature with waxen skin, hollow eyes, scars on his face and hands and “blood” all over his shirt front walked into the police station carrying a bent-up bicycle over his shoulder and said, “I’d like to report an accident.” ***

Probably the most interesting incident report that week. And a great story for one of Ken’s comedy routines. Happy Trick or Treating!

www.ranchovignola.com Phone 250-546-3343 Breakfast with the guys opens eyes By Lori Larsen

Understanding and bringing awareness to the issues of domestic violence is a shared responsibility of all citizens. On Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 7:30 until 9 a.m. at the Camrose Resort and Casino, Camrose Women’s Shelter in partnership with Family Violence Action Society will be hosting Breakfast With the Guys, an initiative to bring male leaders within the community together to discuss working on solutions to end violence against women. “The intent of Breakfast with the Guys is to highlight domestic violence in Alberta and the role men play in ending violence against women,” explained Camrose Women’s Shelter Society executive director Nora-Lee Rear. “The Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS) hosted the first Breakfast with the Guys event, in 2005. Since that time, 10 events in Edmonton and eight in Calgary, along with one Breakfast with the Chiefs, have been organized by ACWS. “The breakfast events have been adopted all over the world as a vehicle to engage with men in the community about violence towards women, and the Camrose Women’s Shel-

ter board of directors felt it was time to bring this important event to Camrose,” said Rear. “Essentially, the purpose of the events is to bring male leaders together from business, sport, industry, government, culture and social services to inform and inspire action to help end domestic violence.” Guest speaker Lieutenant Mark Wynn is an internationally-renowned speaker and survivor of family violence. Wynn has dedicated his life to ending domestic and sexual violence in his capacity of police officer, detective educator, trainer and consultant. “By bringing Mark Wynn to Camrose, we want to highlight a couple of concepts. One, domestic violence is not a women’s issue, it is a human issue. We need to approach violence against women as an issue that effects everyone and we need to view men not only as perpetrators or possible offenders, but as empowered bystanders who can confront abusive peers. Secondly, we want the community to realize that Domestic Violence ‘is My Business’. Too often I hear people say, ‘I didn’t know what to do’, or ‘I knew something was wrong but it wasn’t my business’. If you’re thinking this about someone you know, start

a conversation with that person. No one can predict when a victim of domestic violence and abuse will have the courage to reach out for help, but knowing that a community member, neighbour or family member recognizes the signs of domestic violence could be the difference between calling for assistance to get the necessary help and not calling,” remarked Rear. In conjunction with the Camrose Women’s Shelter, the Family Violence Action Society hopes this event will provide them with an opportunity to reach community leaders and those who can influence others with the vital message that men play an important role in ending violence against women. “Family Violence Action Society provides individual and group services for men, women and children impacted by family violence,” said Family Violence Action Society program director Sheralyn Dobos. “We are excited about this opportunity to reach a broader audience with an empowering message of hope and accountability. “None of us is an island; effectively addressing family and sexual violence requires a collective effort.” For more information on the event or to purchase tickets, telephone 780-6794975, extension 8.

Weevils take on thistles By Lori Larsen The City of Camrose is taking action against the noxious weed, Canada thistle, by introducing an innovative, environmentally safe and effective biological control, the thistle stem mining weevils. These tiny adult bugs, which have been allowed in Canada since 1965, were released to Stoney Creek valley area just east of Parkview and the city owned open field on the north side of 54 Avenue in mid September. “We released two sets, each of 105 weevils, one in the south end of Camrose and the other in the north end of Camrose where the thistle appears,” said City of Camrose parks director Chris Clarkson. The weevils are released at the base of a patch of thistles and then move around seeking out the thistle and feeding on them. Once the thistles are gone the weevils die. “We researched the program thoroughly then decided to pursue it knowing that the weevils won’t go into any other plant material. It has been used successfully in other municipalities,” explained Clarkson. The adult weevils restrict their feeding entirely to the Canada thistle. By introducing them in the fall the adults will feed off the thistles until heavy frost at which time they hibernate. In early spring when the first thistle rosettes appear the adult weevils emerge and begin mating once again feeding on the thistle foliage. Females lay eggs into holes in the leaves of the young rosettes and when the larvae hatch a week

or so later they tunnel through the leaf into the lower stem and eventually down into the root collar. After feeding, the larvae emerge from the shoot near or just below ground level working their way into the soil. In late June early July new adults emerge from the soil and continue to feed until winter. Areas, where the weevils have been released, experience decreased stand vigor of Canada thistle and patches eventually thin out. Clarkson was introduced to the program while attending a pesticide conference which included information on biological controls and different ways of controlling various weeds. “Residents wanted us to get rid of the thistle (Canada) so we are hoping this will do that,” noted Clarkson. “It is a little bit of a slower process but because some of the areas that have the thistles slope down toward the creeks we don’t want to spray where there is a possibility of chemical leaching into the watercourse. “We spend a lot of manpower eradicating thistles along the creek so hopefully this is a way of assisting the process.” The City has posted signs informing residents the area has recently had weevils released. According to West Central Forage Association and Stewardship Alliance for Conservation Agriculture the weevils will not become invasive and are not a risk to any other plant material or agricultural crops.

Music teacher strikes a long-time chord By Lori Larsen Music is often referred to as a universal language, capable of reaching the minds and hearts of many and being able to teach that language is a gift bestowed upon a few. Dorothy Chomlack has been sharing her gift with generations of Camrose and area music students for over 66 years. The Chomlack family, including Dorothy, Peter (Dorothy’s husband who passed away in 2013) and Alan (Dorothy’s son), have been spreading music throughout the area for decades and almost anyone you ask has, or knows someone, who has taken music lessons from one of them. Dorothy and Peter first began teaching in Red Deer, where they stayed for a year or two until Dorothy was seconded to Camrose by Louise Jensen. “Louise Jensen and some friends came to see me and asked if I would come to Camrose. So we decided to sell and came in 1969. We built our house with the studios downstairs. I taught piano, accordion and organ and Peter taught guitar.” However, Dorothy’s love for music began much earlier. “I played in the Rocky Mountain Bluebirds band as a teenager with my sister. She was 12 and I was 17 and we played at every anniversary, wedding school reunion and school party. We were busy playing three or four nights a week with our dad. “He was a great musician. In 1929 (the year after I was born), when the catalogue came out, he bought us every instrument in the catalogue. The banjo was $20, the violin was $15, the accordion $25. As little kids, we were learning instruments. He even sent to the States and got us books,” added Dorothy as she holds up what she refers to as her musical dictionary–a book she has had since she was a young girl. Having taken some lessons herself in her youth, Dorothy learned early what not to do when getting or, giving for that matter, a lesson. Two valuable things she teaches her students is to be totally focused during the lesson and practice, practice, practice. “I try to teach them what not to do, such as just coming to the lesson and laying on the chesterfield just listening to me.” In 1952, Dorothy went to Edmonton to teach accordion for four years after which she went to Wetaskiwin and started her own business. “In those days, I had so

many students I had to quit answering the telephone.” “The same thing happened here (in Camrose). I put an ad in the paper and had to quit answering the phone. I was embarrassed to say I was full. “I have taught 100 students a week. I used to go to Bawlf and teach eight students there in the morning then come home and teach 20 a day.” With students ranging from ages five to 95, averaging 52 students per week (her lowest number she confesses), Dorothy shows no signs of slowing down. She just recently celebrated her 89th birthday and, with 66 years of teaching under her belt, can say that she has practically not missed one day and, she knocks on wood, has never been sick. She makes it a point to ensure all her students feel the same love for music that she does and comments that her students all seem to be happy to come to their lessons. “It is an urge for me to have everybody learn music. I think music is so good for the soul and nobody goes out of my studio unhappy. I truly have never felt that anyone hated to come to lessons. “I am always happy to see them–they always come in here just bubbly.” Evidence of which was visible the day of her 89th birthday when one of her little charges came skipping into her lesson with flowers for Dorothy, accompanied by Mayor Norm Mayer, presenting Dorothy

with a certificate of recognition for her long-time contribution to teaching music in Camrose. “There will always be some battles,” cautioned Dorothy when referring to obstacles she comes up against with some students. “It is not just teaching, you have to win that they want to come. “You have to know what to give them–the little things that you add (as a teacher). Every student is different and music has the ability to open some children up.” With a personal goal to prepare students with the ability to teach as well, Dorothy hopes to be able to provide them with an opportunity to keep spreading the joy of music and perhaps even run their own music lesson business. “I prepare my girl students for teaching. Then once they are married and have children, they can open up a little home school.” A lesson her son, Alan has taken to heart as he too taught a multitude of students banjo, guitar, piano, violin and ukulele. “We (Dorothy, Peter and Alan) used to have recitals in town with 300 students. Now Alan is the sound man at the Bailey Theatre and plays with all different bands.” Whether it is the music that runs through Dorothy’s veins or the happy, healthy life she lives, her vibrance is positively infectious.

Big band sound back at Bailey By Murray Green

The Battle River Big Band is performing a special tribute show for Remembrance day at the Bailey Theatre on Sunday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. The concert entitled La Vie En Rose celebrates 70 years of history, the music that inspired the soldiers and their home front families that still entertains and inspires the fans of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Harry James. Over the past three years the Battle River Big Band has added a Remembrance Day show to bring back special memories. “In addition to some of the oldies, we’ll play songs of France’s most memorable singer Edith Piaf, her nickname was The Little Sparrow,” said Dennis Rusinak artist director. “Piaf’s engaging voice and unforgettable songs brought joy and often tears to France and the world. Her music has not lost its touch over these many years and the band is pleased to relive those golden moments with our performance La Vie en Rose.” The band includes many familiar people from throughout the region. Ben Gagnon, Rick Michielin, Rusinak, Sandra Hall and Marshall Tindall play saxophones. Bob Bailey, Len Busse, Carson Hvenegaard and Paul Sweet play trumpets. Playing trombones include Jade Hill, Morgan Huhtala, Rob MacMillan, Erik Olson and Norm Skretting. Tova Olson is on the piano and Darcee Vorhes is on base. Rounding out the band are vocalist Deanna Didriksen and guest Halley Bailey. Halley continues a tradition of the Bailey family who have shared their musical talents at Remembrance Day tributes in Camrose. Great uncle Theo Bailey played at many Remembrance Day events as did his son Stuart Bailey, Halley’s step grandfather and her father Bob Bailey. Halley started her music programs with her father at the Charlie Killam School. While Halley studied several instruments privately, her studies in piano and voice were her main focus. She completed a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance at Augustana Campus and continued a master’s degree at the University of Victoria. Halley is currently a speech language pathologist with Edmonton Catholic Schools and sings with Edmonton’s award-winning Ariose Women’s Choir.

Welsh returns for reggae party By Murray Green

Let’s get this party started! Party organizer John Welsh and his band will be holding a high energy performance at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Nov. 3 beginning at 8 p.m. His group was a hit in Camrose a couple of years ago. “We were treated so well by the Rose City Roots Music Society and the audience, that we did not hesitate at the opportunity to return. The venue and the crowd were fantastic,” said Welsh, who will represent British Columbia in the Canada 150 series. “The beautiful venue, top notch stage production, lighting and crowd response we got, made it one of our most memorable shows to date. It was one of the first venues outside of BC to book us and since then we have toured the

US and into Mexico, but we will never forget the hospitality in Camrose,” John recalled. The blend of Latin, West African, reggae and folk rock rhythms have created a stir wherever they perform. The question is: who has more fun, the band or the audience? “I think judging by the amount of people dancing and singing along that it has to be about the same. When people are engaged it makes you as a musician have more fun and play better, its a reciprocal experience. Our show is very interactive and we really like to get the crowd engaged,” explained John. “If they are having fun so are we. We just got back from our first tour of Southern California and Mexico, so Camrose will be our next performance.”

With a guitar in one hand and a suitcase in the other John Welsh has been performing his eclectic style of music for audiences around the globe. “I lived in South America, so there is a reggae feel to the music. With all of my travelling, I have picked up different styles,” Welsh said. “It’s a blend of folk, surf rock, reggae and Latin. Camrose music fans will hear a mix of songs with strong rhythm and sing-a-long type of tunes.” He plays with Courage Eigbike, who also influenced his sound. “I really like to get the crowd involved with singing and dancing. We want to maximize audience participation and leave people with a positive experience. We like to have fun and let the audience have fun,” John said.

Augustana showcases talent By Lori Larsen

Camrose and area residents are invited to come and enjoy the annual talent show hosted by the University of Alberta Augustana Student Association. This free event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 4 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre beginning at 6 p.m. with a reception in the lobby, show starting at 7 p.m. in the Cargill Theatre. The evening will feature approximately 16 student performances. Students are selected from auditions and will

be showcasing their talents in non-studies related activities such as singing, instrumental music, bands, dance, magic shows and juggling. This will be Augustana’s last Canada 150 event and to celebrate they will be serving Canadian theme treats during the reception and some of the performances will reflect a Canadian theme as well. The show will open with last year’s winner and current Augustana student, Madison Killoh, playing a song by the popular Canadian rock band, The Tragically Hip.

During intermission and at the end of the evening while the judges are deliberating, entertainment will be provided by the Augustana faculty band, The Men Who Fell To Earth, featuring Canadian song sets. The judging panel will be composed of Augustana staff and faculty as well as members of the community. Come out and cheer on the amazing talent that exists right here in Camrose and enjoy another event celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday.

BRCF Builders Dinner honours Rostad family By Murray Green

The Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) held a Community Builders dinner to honour the contributions of Shirley and Ken Rostad on Oct. 20 at the Norsemen Inn. “It is always refreshing and delightful to talk about good and to celebrate good. I congratulate Shirley and Ken for being our honourary builders,” said BRCF chair Vivianne Grue. “We have reached an important milestone. We have granted more than $5 million to a wide range of worthwhile community projects in the Battle River area. For me that is a wow.”

Neil McCrank

The Rostads have been long time BRCF supporters. “Shirley had established the Rostad fund recognizing the need for the foundation’s operational sustainability. On her retirement, the Rostads also established the emerging Rostad Family Fund to provide assistance for people with disabilities and most recently they topped it up to reach the named fund status. From the proceeds from tonight’s dinner a new Rostad Community Fund will be established to meet the emerging needs of our community now and into the future,” said Vivianne. In 1986, after serving as a City of Camrose councillor, Ken was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly serving three terms in the provincial government. Throughout the eleven years, he served as Attorney General, Solicitor General, Minister of Housing and Native Affairs, Minister of Justice and Minister of Federal and Intergovernmental Affairs. “Ken would meet the chief justice of the supreme court of Canada, the commissioner of the RCMP, captains of industry, janitors and clerks. He always turned the conversation to the other person and expressed interest in them. I guarantee when that janitor or clerk went home that night they talked about speaking with the Attorney General of Alberta. He was more interested in my wellbeing than his own. I think that tells you all you need to know about Ken Rostad. He is absolutely a perfect

gentleman,” said former deputy minister of justice, Neil McCrank. Good friends Shirley and Lorne Smeland talked about the couple. “To Shirley pretty good is pretty bad. Either do the job the way it should be done, or get out of her way. Shirley has a thirst for knowledge, is a passionate gardener, a budding artist, an ardent reader, plays piano, cello and dabbles in ukulele, is learning Spanish and with the help of her youngest son Karsten, is learning golf. Some people strengthen others just by being the person they are. The next time you speak with her, maybe some of that will rub off onto you too,” said Shirley Smeland. Lorne talked about Ken. “I met him when we moved to Camrose in 1981. He stopped by to invite me to attend the local Lions club meeting. We all chose Camrose to raise our families. We both have three children around the same age and we grew up loving Camrose. Ken is one of the finest people I’ve had the privilege of being around. He is a classy gentleman, who always has a positive outlook on life. What you see is what you get. He is honourable to the core. He often talked politics and had solutions. Ken always had a quality opinion, a logical solution to most of the daily issues. He clearly had a keen interest in politics.” Shirley and Ken have been contributing to the community through their business, church, munici-

Shirley and Ken Rostad were honoured by the Battle River Community Foundation.

Karsten reflected on their family life. “Growing up in our family and giving to the community was not an option. It wasn’t mandatory either. It was just what you did. Every week was chocked full of ways to improve and give back to the Camrose community. Growing up we thought this was the norm, that we had parents that cared the community as deeply as they did our family,” shared Kyle. “But it isn’t the norm to have mom weeding a community garden. It is not the norm to have a dad, affectionately called “The Government,” to dedicate his life to public service. When we left the nest we quickly realized that it wasn’t the norm.

pal and provincial government. “I’ve always admired their values. Rotary’s fourway test is: Is it the truth, Is it fair to all concerned, Will it build goodwill and friendships and fourth will it benefit all concerned. Ken and Shirley live out the four-way test. I admire them as servant leaders. Their focus is on service to others. They are not in it for the glory, fame, pay or power. They have the leadership of wanting to serve others,” said David Stolee. Shirley and Ken’s children, Kyle, Kelsey and

We are all here tonight to celebrate Ken and Shirley for not being normal. “Mom often sets impossible goals and then achieves them, which makes the rest of us look like chumps. What makes us the most proud is her focus on making Camrose a better place. Here is to the new normal and always inspiring us.” The evening was

You all deserve a dinner. Camrose is a special place. We hope that in some small way we have contributed positively to our community and the province. In our retirement, we continue to volunteer and to give back in ways that we can. We find that we receive so much back that it’s not something we want to stop doing,” said Shirley. “The Foundation allows us to

keep on giving perpetuity. That is a legacy.” Ken had the last say. “I can’t believe we raised $7,000 for three pies. I have a deep freezer full of them,” he laughed. “Intentional generosity means giving with the end in mind. Know what you want to accomplish and give what is needed to reach that goal. To give intentionally, requires that we give not simply what we need to address a problem, but to comment to the effect of some kind of change,” said Ken. “Giving freely means giving with no pressure and with no expectations of getting anything in return. If you give because it is your duty or you need to pay back, or you feel obligated,then generosity is turned into an economical transaction. If you give freely, rather than obligation, it is an unconditional act that improves our lives and those of others. “Think about what tonight is all about. We are only the front man and women. The Foundation is a safe and secure institution that helps us experience the rewards of being generous,” concluded Ken.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Lily Schultz celebrated her 100th birthday on Oct. 22.

By Lori Larsen For many people, turning 50 can be quite an occasion and, in some instances, a hard number to admit, but for Lily Schultz, doubling that number is just another day, as she marked an amazing milestone of turning 100 on Oct. 22. Born Lily Louise Lechelt, the three ‘L’s as she noted, Lily and her husband Rudolph (Rudy passed away in 1996) raised their children on a farm in Hay Lakes. “We retired from the farm to Camrose in 1973,” recalled Lily. “When we moved to town my husband cut meat and I clerked at stores in the Sparling area.” Lily also kept herself busy taking ceramic classes and going to the pool for aquasize classes which she continued right up to the time she moved into her suite at Rosealta Lodge, approximately seven years ago. “My husband passed away in 1996 in November,” said Lily. “Time flies through your life. Years just pass so quickly. I don’t know how I reached 100 years, seems like such a while ago when I was a child.” Yet the memories of her childhood came back as though they had happened only days earlier. “I remember that being in a family of 12 children, some years it was pretty poor. When I was 11 or so, we moved from Hay Lakes to Leduc and my father had more land there and things got better, but it was still poor.” Even in recalling the harder years, Lily still had a twinkle in her eyes and smiled brightly as she continued.

“We used to wash the school for $2.50. We washed the whole floors, the desks and everything. My sister and I. We shared it (the $2.50) and bought a pair of secondhand skates so we could learn to skate. We had to share the skates because they cost $2.50 and we each received a dollar and a quarter for doing the school. The 30s were very, very hard.” Many things have changed over the past 100 years and when Lily was asked what she thought was the most notable, she replied transportation. “When I started out, there were hardly any airplanes. We saw the single ones that carried the mail but that was about all we ever saw. Then they had the two-seater and somebody could accompany them.” Lily remembers flying in the smaller planes, but shook her head when she compared them to the planes of today. “Now they are so plush.”

Lily and her husband did their fair share of travelling too, including trips to Mexico, once for six weeks and Texas for three months. “We went south in the winter a little bit, but I have never gone to Europe or overseas.” As for celebrating her 100th birthday, Lily was happy that her family and friends could join her on Sunday, Oct. 22 at the church to help her ring in 100 years and that Rosealta honoured her on Monday, Oct. 23 with a gettogether. “There are three people here (at Rosealta) that have turned 100 years old. And I am the youngest, I’m the kid,” laughed Lily. By far, Lily’s proudest accomplishments are her family. “We have reunions in the family on each side of the family.” A testament to both her and her husband’s families hang on the walls of Lily’s suite: precisely crafted family trees complete with all names and photos. “We wrote history books on each side of the family and update them every five years. My daughter-in-law is really interested in that and stays up on that.” With 22 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren (another one on the way), and three great-greatgrandchildren, Lily and Rudy’s legacy will live on for generations. “The children are such a blessing. Not long ago they needed us and now we need them and they are wonderful children.” When asked what her secret to longevity is, Lily replied with conviction, “That’s God secret and I thank Him every night for all the blessings.” And her gratitude is apparent in her beautiful, ageless smile.

Senior Chat

An LGBTQ Perspective Submitted by Camrose Seniors Coalition and Camrose Pride Community

Must LGBTQ seniors go back into the closet when they go into care? LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer, and that is the question Michael Phair and Robert Smith asked when they presented to a group of folks involved with seniors care on Oct. 4. Co-hosted by Camrose Pride Community and Camrose Seniors Coalition, the presentation was sponsored by The Bethany Group, which provided the venue and snacks. Phair and Smith are part of the Edmonton Pride Seniors Group, which is affiliated with SAGE (Seniors Associations of Greater Edmonton). With a grant from Age Friendly Edmonton, Phair and Smith conducted a survey of LGBTQ seniors a few years ago to determine their needs, interests, and concerns with respect to seniors housing and aging in place Like every other older person, LGBTQ folks hope to grow old in the comfort of their own homes. Like all seniors, they are concerned about needing more health care, about having in-home supports if they remain in their own homes, or about what it will be like if they must move into a continuing care facility. Like all seniors, LGBTQ seniors want to be understood and respected as people with particular likes, interests, skills and experiences to share. LGBTQ seniors have an additional concern as they age, however, a concern that can colour their entire experience of aging with fear, anxiety and even resistance to accessing professional help and support. How will they be accepted as an LGBTQ person? How will their partner be treated? Will health care professionals, facility staff, and other residents treat them differently or unkindly? Will they be able to be who they are, or will they have to hide their orientation or gender identity? Will they end up back in the closet again? W hen– or if– older LGBTQ folks first came out, it was in an environment much less accepting than it is today and acceptance is still in progress. Back in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, discrimination

Hearing Aid Trial

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ”

If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

was not against the law. Fear of AIDS/HIV led to shunning and disinformation about the disease. Google the Stonewall riots or Canada’s ‘fruit machine’ to comprehend what it must have been like to be an LGBTQ person ‘back in the day.’ Those experiences can return to haunt LGBTQ seniors as they enter the process of aging in place. Those fears can present barriers to seeking support from health care and other social services, as they have in the past. Phair, Smith, Camrose Pride Community and Camrose Seniors Coalition do not want those experiences and fears to continue hurting LGBTQ seniors. How can we work

together to overcome barriers and ensure that seniors care is perceived as welcoming and inclusive, especially by LGBTQ seniors? Phair and Smith offered several suggestions, ranging from policy specifically addressing bullying and discrimination, to statements of inclusion (even a rainbow flag can help), to re-thinking assessment and intake questions and forms, to various types of housing that could be developed. Locally, a University of Alberta student worked with The Bethany Group over the summer on a resource for older LGBTQ people in continuing care. Continued on page 20

The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team wrapped up the home schedule win a 20-8 victory over the Ponoka Broncs on Oct. 20. This timely win gave the Trojans a bye in the first week of playoffs. Scoring for the Trojans were Dorian Gibbs, Nick Ioanidis and Drew Loosemore. Terryl Sherman went two for three on converts. The Trojans offence leaned heavily on veteran Ioanidis who racked up 125 yards on 29 carries. Gibbs had a big gain that flipped the field for the Trojans and ended up with 59 yards on four carries. Quarterback Drew Loosemore only dropped back three times, but completed a pass to Scott Gilroy underneath who ran for an additional 13 yards. The defence was again led by Sherman who had five tackles and an assist. Tynan McCarthy had four tackles and an assist and Jason Bennett had three tackles and two assists from his spot on the corner. Jesse Dutre had a big play early sacking the Broncs quarterback. Gilroy also contributed on defence with two sacks and three solo tackles from his spot on the end. The Trojans ended the regular season in fifth place. Camrose now waits for the winner of Ponoka and Rocky Mountain House to host at Kin Park.

As part of the Peter Lougheed Leadership College’s summer program, Marissa Bouchard put together a section on the needs of older LGBTQ people for The Bethany Groups’ upcoming module, “Sexuality and Intimacy in Long Term Care.” The LGBTQ topics include issues or barriers that older LGBTQ people face, and how a continuing care facility and its staff can best holistically care for these clients. (Adding the plus sign is a relatively new addition especially preferred by younger people. It denotes two-spirit, questioning and other folks, for whom the LGBTQ acronym is not fully inclusive.)

Milano was reigniting a movement begun 10 years earlier by activist Tarana Burke, who started it when she was a youth camp counsellor, and Roxanne Harde, found that disclosing that she, English, Augustana too, had been assaulted was Campus, University the most effective way to stand of Alberta in solidarity with the sexually abused girls she counselled. Noting that she wanted people to understand the “magnitude of the problem,” Milano’s hashtag is approaching a million tweets on Twitter and has appeared over six million times on Facebook, as hundreds of thousands of women have shared their stories. The mainstream media has reacted with a ridiculous amount of surprise at just how widespread “this problem” is, rarely referring to it as the endemic sexism—the rape culture—that it really is. On Monday morning, I posted #MeToo as my Facebook status and, understanding that most of my female friends have had experiences like mine, fully expected that I’d be seeing a lot of similar posts. And I did. And I had friends who didn’t post #MeToo. I understand that they had their reasons, but I also understand that there’s not much chance that they haven’t been assaulted in some way. If not raped, I’m sure they have been sexually harassed, touched or kissed against their will, catcalled or wolf whistled, made to feel unsafe or made to feel that if they didn’t smile or “be nice,” their jobs were threatened or their work couldn’t be done as effectively. So, what’s the point? Posting #MeToo tells no woman anything new. Reactions on my Facebook feed ranged from anger that treating women in this way continues unabated to profound weariness that campaigns like this one continue to prove that the overwhelming majority of women are sexually victimized. We can post all the hashtags we want, we can relive our traumas, and we can keep increasing visibility of the rampant sexism in our culture—the sexism that teaches every boy that every girl isn’t quite human, that she doesn’t have a personhood that needs to be respected, that she’s only a sexual object. But do we really need to keep telling these stories? Haven’t we established that most women (and many men) have experienced sexual assault and harassment? Do we have to keep publicly performing our pain just to have the existence of rape culture acknowledged? Can’t we just come to some agreement that this is a male problem and it’s time men did something about it? It was good to see my male Facebook friends try to stand in solidarity with me and their other women friends. But it’s been better to see men like Keith Edwards, on a recent visit to Augustana during orientation and welcome week, stand up and explain to our students how and why sexual violence is a male problem and men must deal with it. By the end of the week, posts with hashtags like #ItWasMe or #IWasThatGuy or #IHave started to appear. Some of these men acknowledge that they have enabled destructive gendered power relations, that they have been silent when they should have spoken up and that they’ve doubted women’s stories. Others have admitted to sexual assault, to ignoring women’s objections, to not hearing “no,” to objectifying women, to being part of the problem. These posts amount to little more than generalized confessions, the public stroking of guilty consciences without any danger that these perpetrators will be brought to justice or even apologize to the people they’ve harmed. Asking the world to bear witness to your story to raise awareness that rape culture is real is one thing; asking the world to bear witness to your vague regrets over the crime you committed against another human being only trivializes the damage you’ve done. Last week, Rebecca Solnit wrote in the Guardian that we might work toward a society less hostile to women through “small acts that accrete into a different world view and different values.” The #ItWasMe hashtags might be those small acts, but I don’t think so. Nowhere in them do I see the understanding that women are just as important as men in every capacity; that we deserve to be heard; that we are autonomous humans; and that our bodies are only, always, and finally our own.

Wild Rose Co-op assists with snacks By Murray Green

It was a total team effort. Wild Rose Co-op, CDSS board member PJ Stasko and the Camrose Public Library joined efforts to help children learn and be healthy at the same time. Food insecurity is a growing problem in Alberta. “According to Food Bank Canada’s Hunger Count 2016, in the past nine years, food bank use in our province has risen by 136 per cent and one in six children live with food insecurity,” said Nicole Bannick, program coordinator at the library. Hunger, especially food insecurity, have been proven to effect cognition and the ability to learn. Children who lack food security make smaller gains in both reading and math, are absent more frequently and are more likely to repeat a grade than food secure children. “Programs like Snacks in the Stacks will not only help children be healthy; it will help them be academically successful, with the energy and interest

to expand on their learning in our library stacks. The peripheral benefits of Snacks in the Stacks are multiple and on every level of well-being, be it emotional, cognitive or psychosocial,” she explained. “Children not only feel safe, but also cared for in the library, will be better able to achieve academic success and social inclusion, and will develop positive relationships with nonfamilial adults here in the library.” The board and staff at Camrose Public Library were appreciative for their support of the library, this program and the children who visit every day after school. “Snacks in the Stacks would not have been possible without the generous seed grant we received from CDSS and assistance from the Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club in 2016. Our gratitude goes out to Wayne Throndson, Greg Wood, Mayor Mayer, and Gary Zetsen who have committed to donating $500 every September to ensure this program con-

tinues. We also have an avid patron and supporter, Sister Jean Jeddrie, who has donated food items like cheese, eggs and dozens upon dozens of homemade buns to help feed our community.” Councillor PJ Stasko was also a champion for Snacks in the Stacks by finding alternate funding when CDSS was unable to fund the program on an ongoing basis due to the FCSS Prevention Mandate. Councillor Stasko reached out to Carol Rollheiser of Wild Rose Coop. “Through their efforts, the barbecues, contributions from Fuel Good Day, and other fundraising initiatives, they have raised enough to cover the nutrition costs of Snacks in the Stacks for the entire 201718 school year. Because of Wild Rose Co-op’s hard work and generosity, that is approximately 5,200 Camrose children who will have healthy snacks available to them to carry them over to dinner and for that, we are so very grateful,” said Nicole.

The automotive section of

STOLEN: Where could it be now? By Ron Pilger

This week’s popular Booster Auto Memories & Memorabilia feature is straying off the typical paved path of profiling exceptional, original or completely recreated collector vehicles. This particular column isn’t focused on the toil and dedication of an individual who has a vast investment of time, talent and money into an automotive project about which he or she is passionate. This column is about raising awareness of the dark side of humanity – that kind of sleazy person, a thief who slinks around in the dark of dark in a calculated effort to land something with monetary value for nothing. And it’s also about the new style of bold, brazen criminal, increasingly prevalent in the Camrose trading area, who, rather than work for hourly pay, stalks homes, farms and acreages in broad daylight in search of that next “free” quad, tank of fuel, half-ton truck, riding lawnmower or anything else that can be flipped for quick cash or to feed a serious addiction of alcohol, drugs or gambling. Pictured here is a tired old truck and distinctive trailer. The truck is a 1938 Ford two-ton bought on Sunday, Oct. 22 as a parts vehicle for another Ford under current restoration. The trailer is a Tommy’s all-aluminum 22-foot car hauler manufactured in Ada, Oklahoma. Few, if any others, are likely to be found in the area. It was parked behind a garage at 5211-50 Street in Camrose before dark that same day. The loaded trailer was stolen sometime between the hours of noon on Monday, Oct. 23 and 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24. There are no specific leads on the whereabouts of the old truck from the time of the theft through the early afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 26. A grader operator spotted the empty trailer on a seldom-used back road, a ten-minute drive northwest of Camrose, within days of the crime. Of importance is that the trailer had not been in that spot one day prior. RCMP were notified and the trailer was returned to the owner. The Motive? Was the goal to steal the trailer and was the heavy old truck merely a serious inconvenience to the thief? The rear wheels on the truck were seized in place, as was the steering column. Heavy equipment would have been required to deal with the weight and mass. No damage was done to the trailer when the beefy, unrollable truck was removed implying it was carefully lifted off. Is the intact truck still somewhere close to where the trailer was found? Is it safely indoors or concealed outside, perhaps behind a row of trees? Or has it been transferred to another trailer and moved elsewhere? Or was it quickly cut up, the metal already recycled or buried? If the truck was off-loaded far away

This missing truck, owned by the writer of this article, has not resurfaced since being stolen last Monday, Oct. 23. from Camrose, why would a thief risk returning a hard-to-miss trailer so close to Camrose? Was getting this type of vintage truck the real goal? Restoration and rodding is popular. Parts are expensive and often hard to come by. With so many farmyards being picked clean by salvage firms, finding usable parts is becoming increasingly difficult. If getting a grill or a door for a Ford of this vintage was the objective, perhaps having this truck already loaded on a rolling trailer was simply a huge bonus at the time. The trailer, easy to spot and hard to register, alter or sell, was dropped off in the darkness of night, near to but not back in the City of Camrose. Call the RCMP or Camrose City Police with any specific information on this theft (or others). But this theft is merely one of many, every week, in our area. Conniving, misguided minds will always attempt to be one step ahead, but here are ways you can attempt to protect your property: • Lock up your valuables. Thieves like quick and easy. • Install an alarm system and motionactivated cameras. Even dummy systems may make a criminal go elsewhere. • Install proper lighting, especially in critical areas such as building entry points.

• Inventory your possessions. Take still pictures and video of the contents and possessions of your home, garage, farmyard which are important to you. • Insure properly. • Know and neighbours.

communicate

with

your

• Be alert and observant. Does that vehicle or person seem out-of-place for your area? • Mark, stamp, tag or tattoo your possessions. • Keep possessions with value out of sight. • Consider having a guard dog on your property. • Be much smarter with social media. Broadcasting that you are on vacation, your day’s agenda or showing off your possessions on Facebook, Instagram, etc. can be a direct invitation to those with nefarious intentions. • Lobby your elected representative for harsher penalties for convicted crooks and their accomplices and for additional resources to fight or fend off crime. • Don’t be hesitant to call law enforcement if you suspect suspicious activity. • Turn in those you know or who know something about any crime.

Holiday Train rolls into Camrose, supports food bank By Murray Green

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train program is hitting the rails for the 18th year to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks and hunger issues. This marks the second time the Holiday Train will be rolling into Camrose. The train arrives on Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 1:35 p.m. A concert featuring Colin James and EmmaLee, and the Holiday Train band will perform 15 minutes later. From the prairies of Saskatchewan to the stages of the world, sharing his talent with some of the greatest and most influential musicians of all time, James has quietly and steadily established himself as one of Canada’s greatest musicians. “Looking forward to being on the historic Holiday train again playing shows across this beautiful country. See you there,” said James. Toronto-born singer and songwriter Emma-Lee splashed onto the Canadian music scene with her debut album Never Just A Dream in 2008. Since then, she’s performed at many high profile international events and her music has been featured in countless film and television shows. As a songwriter, Emma-Lee collaborates with artists in all genres and recently released a collection of songs inspired by her earliest musical memories of pop music from the 80s and 90s. “I’m so excited for the chance to travel across my home country supporting

community food banks, performing with amazing Canadian talent and hopefully bringing people some holiday joy. I can’t imagine anything better,” said Emma-Lee. The train gears its efforts towards gathering donations for food banks, rather than on a lot of advertising. The CP Holiday Train program launched in 1999 and has since raised more than $13 million and four million pounds of food for communities along CP’s routes in Canada and the United States. Beginning in Montreal, Quebec, on Nov. 25 and 26 respectively, two trains will make the festive journey, travelling through both the U.S. and Canada to bring holiday cheer to 182 communities along CP’s network. Each event is completely free, with CP encouraging every attendee to open their cupboards or wallets to ease hunger needs in their community. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate can access adequate food this holiday season and year-round. “The Holiday Train program is all about local food banks and food shelves and the critical role they play in our communities,” said Keith Creel, CP’s president and chief executive officer. “People come for the beautifully-lit train and stay for the incredible show–all in the name of community. The holiday season is the best time of the year, and we look forward to bring-

ing together thousands of Canadians and Americans this season for this incredibly important cause and a great time.” The 2017 edition of the Holiday Train also concludes CP’s Canada 150 celebrations and the Canadian train will feature the Spirit

of Tomorrow car, which was part of the Canada 150 train this past summer. The Holiday Train will stop at the Moose Family Centre (52 Avenue and 50 Street). Food collected at the local stop will go directly to the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center food bank.

Rural stops

The train stops in Provost and Hardisty on Dec. 5 at 5:50 and 8:15 p.m. It stops in Bawlf on Dec. 6 at 12:25 p.m. prior to going to Camrose. After the train leaves Camrose, it goes to Wetaskiwin for a 3:45 p.m. visit.

Ronning memories brought back by local Rotary club By Murray Green

You can share in the life and times of Dr. Chester Ronning by attending the Rotary Club of Camrose Speaker Series on Monday, Nov. 6 beginning at 11:45 a.m. at the Camrose Resort Casino. David Goa will reflect on the life of the educator, Canadian diplomat and politician, Dr. Chester Alvin Ronning. He was born on Dec. 13, 1894 and died on Dec. 31, 1984. Ronning was born in Fancheng, now Xiangzhou Hubei province in China, the son of Norwegian American Lutheran missionaries, and gradu-

ars as 21 Ye mote e your R rter Sta alist. Speci

ated from the University of Alberta in 1916 with a B.Sc. He returned to China to serve as a missionary from 1922-27 and then returned to Alberta where he took the position of principal of the Camrose Lutheran College, now University of Alberta Augustana Campus. He was a member of the United Farmers of Alberta and on Oct. 25, 1932, he was elected in a by-election for Camrose. From his entry into the Legislature, he was an outspoken adherent of the newly formed Co-operative Commonwealth Federation Party. He served in diplomatic posts in China (1945-51), Norway (1954-57), India

(1957-64) and the United Nations. He also participated in attempts to mediate the Vietnam War.

Camrose Kodiaks owned the second period against the Spruce Grove Saints on Oct. 25. It wasn’t enough to earn two points as the team lost 4-1 to the Saints, but it was encouraging that Camrose dominated and out shot their opponents 13-4 in the frame. Jacob Kendall scored the only goal for the Kodiaks. Goalie Griffin Bowerman made 23 of 27 saves in the Camrose net. It is the seventh straight loss for the Kodiaks, who have dropped to seventh place in the south standings of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. However, they have nine one-goal games in their last 11 contests. Forward Ryan Hartman scored with 45 second left on the clock to tie the game with the Brooks Bandits and force overtime on Oct. 21. However, the Kodiaks lost the close contest 4-3 when the Bandits stole

the extra point in the overtime frame. Hartman also opened the scoring in the first period. Brooks took over the middle frame and the lead, 2-1. The visitors added a power play marker early in the third before the Kodiaks roared back. Cale Chalifoux scored to rally the Kodiaks until Hartman added his second of the night. Goalie Landon Pavlisin turned away 22 of 26 shots in the Camrose net. A nother former Kodiak came back to haunt the local team. P. J. Marrocco garnered both a power play tally and a shorthanded goal to give the Bonnyville Pontiacs a 2-1 victory over Camrose. Hartman again netted the first goal of the match, but this time Marrocco was the difference. Pavlisin turned away 22 of the 24 shots he faced in the Camrose cage. After a long string of five away games, the Kodiaks are back at home on Friday, Nov. 10 for a match with Brooks. On a day to Remember, the Drumheller Dragons will provide the opposition on Nov. 11. The Olds Grizzlys will be in Camrose on Nov. 14 at the EnCana Arena. All games begin at 7 p.m.

Guest editorial

Politically correct

Vintage projector donated to Bailey

By Arnold Malone

During the campaign that led to the election of President Donald Trump he barked a snit about the evil practice of political correctness. He was going to change that. Unfortunately, he did. I take umbrage against the view that political correctness should be trampled. Words do matter. The very possibility of peace rests on the art of careful expression. This is not just a political requirement but also one that applies to families and communities. How we talk sets the tone as to how others should respond. When the president refers to his main campaign opponent as, “Crooked Hillary”, he demeans both her and the political process. Politicians ought never treat an alternative view with disrespect. Senator John McCain spent six years as a prisoner of war and was often tortured. Trump degrades his required support by stating that he, “Prefers soldiers that don’t get caught.” Hot personal attacking words are not limited to the political world but high offices do set a tone for others and the current use of attack words at a high level gives license to many to blast nasty thoughts at whim. This is troublesome, dangerous and contagious. Boisterous speech surrounds us. In pubs, restaurants, and on the streets the language of attack and slander exist too frequently. While it is extraordinarily important that the highest offices speak with dignity and decorum the Hollywood movies are a far cry from the family entertainment of decades ago. Now, inter-galactic wars between the ugly creatures developed by persons that hold the view that violence is a core ingredient for entertainment. Their heroes are those who trample the rights and self-esteem of others. What a shame. I am aware that research of violent activities portrayed as entertainment has little effect on the broad public. If however, such research were to be conducted on a prison population, in mental institutions and among those who are mentally challenged or depressed I am certain the results would be in the danger zone. Most people can distinguish between movies as an art and resist the desire to act out what they have observed. Mean talk however, does affect some people. While working on my masters degree in interpersonal communication a number of professors frequently underscored the importance of language as it relates to behavior. The prominent message is, language needs to change before behavior changes. The examples often were framed around a then issue of the role of females in society. The research informed us just how important it was to speak of the ‘chair’ as apposed to addressing, Mr. Chairman. To call police, “police” as opposed to ‘policeman’ and the postal service as opposed to the ‘Postman.’ The research is clear; we talk differently before we behave differently. This column was written in the afternoon following the horrific deadly shootings in Las Vegas. It would be a step too far to blame the president of the USA or Hollywood movies as being implicit in this or any other violent crime. But I think it can be asserted that as aggressive language becomes mainstream it propagates the likelihood that a rare few will act out what they observed. Political correctness is simply, correctness. This is not just a concept limited to politicians it is a matter for us all. We all need to guard against tough talk and brutal expressions. Sooner or later some deranged person will act upon those words that seem commonplace. So, it is incumbent on us to demand that leaders everywhere be thoughtful, considerate, measured and balanced with their communication and that we citizens follow their good example. A better world is sure to follow.

A vintage movie projector was purchased by Brian Francoeur and donated to the Bailey Theatre. It is similar to those used in the early days of film movies that were shown at the local theatre.

By Murray Green and Gary Taylor

Local businessman Brian Francoeur couldn’t pass up collecting a piece of Camrose history. At a recent auction, he found several historic artifacts from the Bailey Theatre. There was a small mechanical film projector mechanism, a package of glass slides with words to songs and a magnifying lens. There was also a projectionist certificate for Anton Klug, one of the first projectionists at the Bailey Theatre. Brian was able to purchase these items and has donated them back to the Bailey Theatre for display in the lobby. “I didn’t want to see part of the Bailey history lost forever,” said Brian. He recalled his early memories of attending movies and functions at the Bailey during the 1960s and, like many others in Camrose and area, he is most proud of his heritage relating to the grandeur of the historic Bailey Theatre. According to theatre insiders, the mechanism donated by Brian is a chaindriven Lubin’s Cineograph and appeared to be the shutter and lens head of a larger projector. It is missing the light source (which was probably a lime light),

FIRE OUT Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster On Oct. 16, Camrose Addiction and Mental Health staff members took part in a training session on the proper use of a fire extinguisher put on by Camrose Fire Department. Barb Fontaine extinguishes the fire set in the flame generator device used to simulate a real fire.

the film reel and holders, the motor for driving the mechanism and the electrical controls. It appears to be from a very early Lubin projector model, probably manufactured in Philadelphia between 1896 and 1899. Lime light projectors of that era employed oxygen burnt with hydrogen, either acetylene or coal gas and the flame directed on the surface of a ball of lime to produce a spot of intense white light for projecting the slides or silent film on the theatre screen. Projectionists of the day required special training and skills to perform their task of entertaining the public. The glass slides obtained by Brian appear to be an early form of karaoke. The words of popular songs would have been projected on the screen for people in the audience to sing along. The songs on the slides include “Home on the Range,” “Roamin in the Gloamin,” “When lrish Eyes are Smiling” and “Carry Me Back to Old Virginny.” Many of the Lubin Company silent film projectors manufactured between 1896 and 1910 were a combination for moving film and stereopticon for projecting slides. The magnifying glass purchased by Brian consists of a pair of thick glass

lenses mounted in a brass collar. It appears to be the kind of lens that a projectionist would use to look at small images on film to view them better. The collection donated by Brian will be displayed in the new cabinets in the Bailey Theatre lobby. The cabinets will include a glass-covered upper portion for the display of artifacts and several glass-covered drawers for viewing old lobby cards found during the renovations dating from the 1920s. The funding for the cabinets was provided by the Rotary Club of Camrose as part of their 90th anniversary project. Siegmund Lubin, with his manufacturing company of Philadelphia, was one of Edison’s earliest rivals in the motion picture business. In late 1896, Lubin and C. Francis Jenkins developed the cineograph projector and it was offered for sale in February 1897 for $150. In March of the same year, Lubin founded the Cineograph Exhibition Service for vaudeville theatres. Known as the “King of Movies,” Lubin is credited for making many of the worlds classics in silent films, many of which were screened at the Bailey Theatre during its early history.

Harrison leads Augustana Vikings at golf nationals By Murray Green

Michael Harrison led the Augustana Vikings at the golf nationals in Oshawa, Ontario. He shot a 312 over four rounds to place 21st against some of the best golfers in the country. He had rounds of 82,73, 77 and 80. Daniel Campbell of University of the Fraser Valley Cascades won the event by eight strokes over the second place finisher. Braden Clarkson made the top 48 with a 335 score on the tough course. The men’s team at nationals was led by coach Bill Penny. Golfers included Harrison, Clarkson, Craig Lynes, Darion Geddes and Carson

Roche. The Vikings were 11th in the team event. Nationals were held on Oct. 15 to 21 in Oshawa. Soccer

The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings women’s soccer team ended the season on a positive note. They defeated the Kings Eagles 3-2 and then tied Keyano 2-2 in the last regular season games, Oct. 21 and 22. Tara Berger collected two goals for the Vikings, while Emily Mason scored the winner late in the contest to pull out the victory. Keeper Cassidy Newcombe made six of eight saves against the Eagles. Against Keyano, Demi

Sahakarini supports reading sessions By Deborah Ann Taylor

Stephanie is a Camrose resident and the mother of two. She came to the library on a rainy September evening because she wanted her children to love books as much as she does. “I want my children to love to read because the more you read, the more you know,” she said. “You can access every place in this world when you can read a book.” Stephanie had come to hear University of Alberta professor Paula Marentette speak on the topic: How can I prepare my preschooler to read? The event was cosponsored by the library and Sahakarini, a locally based NGO, which has promoted international literacy efforts since 1979. Whether you are a woman in a developing nation or a child in Camrose, the ability to read is a huge plus in your quest for a secure and healthy life. Good reading skills translate into good grades, university and college admissions, and jobs. Yet, the benefits of reading go far beyond their practical application. There is a kind of magic in books. They draw us beyond ourselves. They tickle our imaginations and inspire our creativity. It is no wonder that parents want to prepare their children to read. Although preschoolers’ brains have not yet developed to the point of learning the technical skills of reading and writing, there is still much a parent can do to prepare children to succeed as readers. In fact, the sooner one starts, the better. “Children become readers in their parent’s lap,” Marentette told her audience. “As mom or dad holds their child and reads to them, they give their child the one thing that children desire most: their undivided attention.” Children learn how to hold a book, turn the pages, look at the pictures, talk about the story, and anticipate what comes next. This positive interaction with mom or dad is also a positive interaction with books, a first encounter that will bear fruit when, in a few short years, the child will begin to learn letters and write words. Even books with no words help prepare a child to read. Questions such as, “What happened here?” or “How does he feel?” help children learn how stories work, to make up their own stories, and to engage with the stories they read. As children learn how stories work, they are better equipped to tell their own stories as they grow older.

Conversation is also a tool by which parents and grandparents can prepare young children to read. Children will learn new words from what they hear and derive the meaning of words from their context. The more conversations children have the more words they will learn. The more “word rich” a child becomes, the easier time he or she will have as a reader. What do we talk to

children about? “Anything,” Marentette advised. Everyday events such as taking a walk or cooking a meal are opportunities to talk with children. Parents like Stephanie were advised to resist the pressure to push their preschoolers to read before they are ready. Preschooler’s brains are busy developing in those early years of life.

Library honours falcon enthusiast By Lori Larsen Local peregrine falcon enthusiast Wayne Nelson will be honoured during a special memorial event held on Nov. 4 starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Camrose Public Library. During the event the library will be displaying a birding kit purchased from a $1,000 donation made on Wayne’s behalf by Heidi Isaacs and put together by library staff, which includes a backpack, binoculars and book about birding. The kit will be available for loan from the library as of Nov. 4. Wayne, who passed away on Feb. 15 of this year, was an active peregrine falcon enthusiast who began his love with the raptors at the early age of 15 years old. At the University of Calgary he obtained his Master of Science in Biology and Doctor of Philosophy in Biology – Behavioural Ecology and began research on peregrine falcons on Langara Island, Haida Gwaii in 1968, which he continued for 43 years. From 1979 until 1982 Wayne taught biology at Camrose Lutheran College after which he worked for the government of Alberta as a biologist for 25 years. In retirement, Wayne continued his work with, not only peregrine falcons, but also wing tagging turkey vultures in central Alberta. “My family and I are so proud of who my dad was, his commitment to the environment, and his dedication to understand & protect birds of prey,” said Wayne’s daughter Jennifer Willies. “We are so pleased to partner with Camrose Public Library to celebrate his life & love of birds.” The event at the library will be a tribute to Wayne’s work with peregrines and other species but also his dedication to protecting the environment. The afternoon will include a birding workshop led by Helen Trefry of the Beaverhill Observatory featuring a peregrine falcon and a saw-whet owl, a draw for a peregrine falcon coin and a presentation of a plaque honouring Wayne Nelson that will hang in the library. Cake and snacks will be served after the event activities.

Zetsen shares your passion “We bought our second Zetsen Master Builders home last summer and, once again, could not be more pleased with the experience. Our new home exceeded our already high expectations from Zetsen in both finishing and construction, but it was their customer service staff that made this purchase so memorable. Celina shared in our joy and excitement while going out of her way to be accessible and help us easily transition homes in every way she could. She continues to be our prompt ‘go to’ for any questions that may arise. There’s real security in that. We wake up every morning and proclaim our love for our new home.
