Go out of your way to ensure you do not miss the Camrose Police Service and Camrose RCMP’s 48th Avenue Checkstop on Saturday, December 2 from noon until 4 p.m. It’s a completely voluntary pre-Christmas Charity Checkstop, but serves great purpose as law enforcement personnel attempt to make the holidays happier for many families in the community. Staff from Camrose Victim Services Unit will join CPS and RCMP in collecting donations of money, new toys and food.

All food items will be delivered to our local food bank; the Kinettes Silent Santa Campaign will receive all toy donations; cash donations will assist the Victim Services Unit to continue their great work in Camrose and Camrose County.

The goal is to surpass last year’s record-breaking generosity. For more information, refer to the story on page 29 of this edition of The Booster.

Letters to the Editor Often forgotten challenges of diabetes

November is Diabetes Awareness month, a time of year where we recognize the staggering number of individuals affected by diabetes in Canada and worldwide.

In Canada alone, there were over three million people with diagnosed diabetes in 2015.

Approximately 90 to 95 per cent of these people will have Type 2 diabetes, a condition that is managed initially with diet and exercise, and ultiJane Yardley, Physical Education, Augustana mately with medication. The Campus, University remaining five to 10 per cent of Alberta will have Type 1 diabetes, for which there is no prevention, there is no cure, and survival requires a careful balance of food intake and insulin dosage.

Canada has one of the highest rates of Type 1 diabetes in the world, yet the public is not as aware of the disease as they are with cancer or cardiovascular disease. Type 1 diabetes develops when the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. Insulin acts as the key that unlocks cells in the muscles, fatty tissues and liver to allow glucose (the most common form of sugar in the body) to be taken in for storage, or burned for energy. Without insulin, glucose builds up in the blood, and the body’s tissues slowly starve. Upon diagnosis, people with Type 1 diabetes are relegated to a life of counting carbohydrates (and considering carbohydrate quality) at every meal, and taking insulin (either with a needle or with an insulin pump where a small tube sits under the skin) multiple times per day when blood glucose levels creep up.

They also live with the constant fear that their glucose levels will drop too low. This phenomenon, termed hypoglycemia, can have immediate and serious consequences, with signs and symptoms ranging from dizziness, irritability and slurred speech, to loss of consciousness, coma and death. Fear of these lows often leads to being overcautious with insulin. Unfortunately, insufficient insulin leads to hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) where the short-term consequences include ketoacidosis (also potentially fatal), and the long-term consequences include kidney failure, heart disease, and blindness. The constant struggle of trying to maintain this balance can cause a great deal of distress, resulting in disproportionately high rates of anxiety and depression in these individuals.

An awareness of the struggles of patients dealing with this “invisible disease” has become more prevalent in recent years, but we often overlook the toll that this condition can take on the people who love and support those with Type 1 diabetes. Friends and family members of people with diabetes also report having very high levels of diabetes-related distress. In some ways, they are the “invisible sufferers” of the disease.

Consider, for a moment, the anxiety experienced by parents of a child with Type 1 diabetes worrying that their son or daughter’s blood glucose might drop dangerously low overnight, and that they might not wake up in the morning. Watching their child playing sports will always be associated with the fear that they will go low during practices and games, due to the glucose-lowering effects of physical activity. Alternatively, imagine being the spouse of someone with Type 1 diabetes and trying to understand that the slurred speech and erratic behaviour of your partner is coming from hypoglycemia, and not anger or alcohol. As a child, wouldn’t you worry and wonder why your sibling had so many trips to the doctor or the hospital? There is often a great deal of frustration on the part of family members and friends at not being able to do more to help, and a great deal of anxiety in thinking about long-term complications.

Diabetes Canada expects that five million people (roughly 12 per cent of the population) will be diagnosed with diabetes by 2025. If you haven’t somehow been affected by diabetes up until now, you probably will be (either directly or indirectly) sometime soon. November is a good time to recognize and understand the unrelenting strain that diabetes places on both those managing the disease daily and those who are closest to them. This month is also an ideal opportunity to take action, whether through making a donation to a recognized foundation or by becoming more informed about how to support those around you living with diabetes.

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.

Against rights

I would just like to say that I agree with the letter writer M. R. Leithead, Bawlf in her letter titled “Against Rights.”

Alberta’s minister of education is wrong in his biased approach to parents’ and students’ rights.

Ruth P. Steeves, Camrose Support letter

As a concerned senior with over 30 descendants growing up in Alberta, I feel that we owe a huge debt of gratitude to M. R. Leithead of Bawlf for such a clear, thoughtful, factual and common sense summary of the “Against Bill of Rights” in the letter to the editor on Nov. 7. Thank you, M. R. Leithead.

Robert Blair, Camrose Pet care

For those of us that have had the privilege of experiencing the companionship and comradery of a longtime family pet, losing them can be devastating. For as much as I had fooled myself into thinking that I’d be prepared for when the day came, I wasn’t. It was with a teary eyed phone call from my wife that I learned that my good friend of over 12 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Pure heartache and anguish was all I could feel. This wasn’t just any friend-it was Earl, our beloved chocolate Labrador retriever and longtime member of the family. Throughout the better part of my adult life so far (career, marriage, first house, three small children, and all the chaos in between) Earl has always been a part of it. Without prejudice or complaint, he was always just “there” and more than happy to be a part of it all.

It’s truly amazing the stoicism that animals show when dealing with pain or discomfort. However, as Earl’s health and quality of life started declining rapidly and the bad days started outweighing the good, we knew what needed to be done. For as much as it

pained us, we needed to be fair to him and look past our own selfishness of not being ready to let him go.

As a regular patient of the Camrose Veterinary Hospital over the last six or seven years, Dr. Whiting, Dr. (Eddie) Rasmussen and their staff had gotten to know Earl quite well. Through their support and guidance, we made the ultimate decision to put him down. Dr. Eddie offered to come to our house outside of town so that Earl could be put down comfortably in his own home. When the dreaded day came, Dr. Eddie and one of his AHT’s (Fran) were incredibly compassionate and respectful to both us and Earl throughout the process. Although I’m sure that most veterinary professionals would say that performing euthanasia on suffering and critically ill animals is not one of the hardest parts of their jobs, having to deal with the owners of those animals probably is.

A sincere and heartfelt thank you from our family to Dr. Eddie and the rest of the staff at the Camrose Veterinary Hospital for their outstanding professionalism and empathy while helping us lay our friend to rest.

Remembrance Day in Canada

By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

It was great to see many people in Camrose and Stettler this year for Remembrance Day. I know, despite fog and poor weather, most had good Remembrance Day services. After speaking and laying the Government of Canada Wreath at the Camrose Service, I managed to be in Stettler later in the day and meet constituents gathering after the ceremonies at the Legion Hall.

I am pleased to say that in our large constituency, we have about two dozen communities that always commemorate Remembrance Day. As your Member of Parliament, over the years I have tried to attend as many as I can-large and small.

Many men and women came from the prairies to serve in the World Wars and fight for our way of life. Many came from communities right here in our riding. There were great sacrifices for families throughout the rural areas as farmers left for military service. Many hoped it would be for a short duration. Everyone feared that loved ones would not return. Many did not.

Canada and our allies were not just fighting against the threats and violence sweeping Europe; we were fighting for our own values as well. Canadians knew that we would have to stand up for the kind of country we wanted to build and be proud of.

Throughout the ceremonies on Remembrance Day, many of us experience moments when we are ‘jolted’ into thinking about how fortunate we are to be living in a country where we have freedom, liberties and opportunities. Speaking with folks on Remembrance Day, I detected a feeling that too often we are focussing on apologies for mistakes or ‘blemishes’ on our nation’s 150 year history. Yet, we have not lived with a ‘defeatist’ attitude over our history.

There are times for national apologies, and after that, we must forge ahead. We have done this since Confederation and have built a strong country. We continue to address ‘wrongs’ that have been committed. We carry on determined to create a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

Canada is a beautiful story of a country constantly bettering itself, and consistently offering a refuge to many around the world. We work through the imperfections of the day. Ours is a story of prosperity, compassion, liberty and human rights.

Over the last century, leaders from around the world have addressed the House of Commons and expressed their admiration of Canada and our peace, order, and good government. It is true that Canadians are self-deprecating, yet the rest of the world tells us we occupy a special place in the fellowship of free nations and are the envy of other countries.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

Honouring the fight for freedom

By Lori Larsen

Over 1,000 people attended the Remembrance Day Service held on Saturday, Nov. 11 at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

Soon after the colour party marched in the flags two minutes of silence were observed for those who fell in battle and for the Veterans of Wars, Peacekeeping Missions and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom.

The service followed, beginning with Veteran Fred Clarke reading In Flanders Fields. Chaplain Mary Ann Pastuck offered the call to worship and invocation along with a thought provoking children’s story.

Father Jacques DeGuise Vaillancourt reflected on the meaning of Remembrance Day by beginning with a story of his own experiences as a Chaplain for 20 years serving the Canadian Armed Forces. “In the first few months of my military service and nearly a year before going on basic training I wore an air force uniform on an army base,” said Vaillancourt. “It was deemed that those of us in similar circumstances would be taught army field exercise in full battle order, less a weapon in my case.”

He described how the training exercise involved patrolling in night time navigation and that nearing the end of the long exercise he was directed by the training officer to the proper site. “It is crucial to know where one is going, but learning to rely on others in uniform was Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Photo left: City of Camrose Police Service Constable Adam Belanger marshals the parade of veterans into the CRE at the beginning of the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day Services.

an essential part of that military exercise.”

Vaillancourt went on to recognize the veterans present and those who have passed. “Today we remember our nations war heros, celebrate their courage and honour those who sacrifice so much for our personal and collective freedoms. We are not compelled to come together this morning, rather it is a privilege to give voice to heartfelt expressions of endearing gratitude.”

In referring to patriots he continued. “Patriotism means many things, chief amoung them is the willingness to give more than what you take. In return all too often taken from them are their lives, limbs sanity and a sense of normalcy with their families.

Suicide, substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness, as well as a feeling of being utterly alone, are frequently the new medals on tattered uniforms of broken warriors.”

Vaillancourt also recognized the presence of first responders at the service and acknowledged

their courage and dedication to duty, inferring that the battle fields have shifted to include the streets of our own nation.

“To the cadets here present. You look great in your pressed uniforms and spit shone boots. The words I say next I hope you accept them in the spirit that they are given.

“I pray the new cadets only know the war that comes from fighting ice storms and floods, however, it is more than likely that this prayer will not become a reality in your generation, the way that things are going.

“If ever you find yourself wandering in the darkness take inspiration from veterans and first responders remembering that freedom comes at a price. It is serious business.”

Addresses were made

by Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson, MLA We t a s k i w i n – C a m r o s e Bruce Hinkley and City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer followed by the Veteran’s prayer and the laying of the wreaths.

City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer lays a wreath at the foot of the cenotaph, on behalf of the City of Camrose.

When sometime becomes now

I smoothly drew the paint brush along the frame, lost in the process of creating.

The colour looked turquoise to me, but the paint sheet proclaimed it to be “limpid lagoon.” My three-year-old coasted around my feet on top of his toy fire truck. That afternoon, my thoughts of “I would like to paint that bathroom mirror frame a bright colour sometime” became “let’s paint that frame right now.”

I met with a friend today who has been, for quite a while now, a “we should get together soon” friend. You know, the friend that you text with sometimes and always have a great chat with when you run into them in a store. She shared with me that recently, she has intentionally been making sure that she does the things she intends to do. Like taking a course you’ve been longing to take, or setting a specific date and time (next Tuesday at 10 a.m.?) instead of leaving a vague message about getting together soon.

I realized that I liked the notion of this, and that is exactly what my painting afternoon had been about. There were piles of dishes on the counter (but when is there not?) and bins of groceries in the entranceway waiting to be put away. I ignored them, and instead absconded to the shop with my paint brush and little one in tow. And it felt very good.

Another thing I’d been meaning to do was purchase some sort of a parenting manual book for reference. I read a lot while I was expecting our first child, and learned important things like not feeding or rocking my child to sleep so they could soothe themselves to sleep. But since then, I’ve only read one or two parenting books. So I took my search to the Internet and quickly ordered “How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk” by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish; and “Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids” by Dr. Laura Markham. When they came in the mail, I began reading them both, underlining as I went.

It was a bit like when people discovered that sliced bread makes so much sense, or like the day a friend of mine suggested that an easier way to do laundry is to keep the folded laundry out of the basket. Now I put the laundry on the couch and then immediately into drawers. Eureka! No more rifling through a laundry basket to find needed items until it’s time to do laundry again and the remaining (now unfolded) laundry absolutely must be put away because the basket is needed again.

The books say new concepts like “connection before correction” and “problem solving instead of consequences”.

They are suggesting time-ins instead of time-outs, which are what I thought replaced spanking as the discipline method of choice from the last generation! I have read to the end of Chapter 2 of each book, so I am not entirely sure how they are suggesting willful cooperation without time-outs, but I am excited to find out. Already, I am doing different things like one-on-one time for 15 minutes or more per child as many days as I can for more connected time. I’ve been trying a tip from Chapter 1 on acknowledging their feelings without giving advice or asking why they are feeling that way. I was surprised to find how often I had been telling my three-year-old not to feel sad, or how often I suggested my six-year-old had done something first to get bad behaviour from someone else!

I also tend to ask a lot of questions when I should be quiet.

If my daughter holes up in bed, I’m most likely to sit beside her saying, “What’s wrong? Did something happen at school?

Are you not feeling well? Can you tell me what’s going on?”

This happened the other day, and I quickly scanned through my books and found a similar situation before approaching her. Then instead of asking a ton of questions, I snuggled up to her and said, “Something happened.” I sat for a few minutes in silence, and then left. Later that night she shared, without further nudging from me, what she had been feeling.

I heard this quote from Jackie Kennedy recently and it resonated with me: “If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much.” Wow, no pressure, right? Parenting is such an important and often fulfilling job, but it can seem relentless. You don’t get to go home after a hard day’s work. Why not use every resource possible to make it go as smoothly as possible?

More often than not, our sometime needs to become our right now.

Orientation for councillors

By Lori Larsen

In an effort to ensure the City of Camrose new council has been properly oriented, city administration are providing councillors with four separate information sessions to better assist them in the execution of their duties as councillors.

The first session held on Oct. 24, covered administrative logistics and key policies applicable to councillor duty.

During the second orientation session held on Nov. 8, councillors, along with a few of the frontline city staff, boarded the Camrose Community Bus and visited some of the city infrastructure.

The tour included stops at the 48th Avenue Bridge Project, Aquatic Centre, city sewage lagoons, Camrose Regional Economic Development Corporation (CREDCO), public works shops, library, police station and Mirror Lake Centre.

During each stop information was provided on any future projects and the operations of the particular facility.

Frontline staff were included in this part of the orientation to help them develop a better understanding of the workings of the city infrastructure.

“When a resident telephones the city, the frontline staff are the first people they talk to,” said City of Camrose manager Mal-

colm Boyd. “If they have a better understanding of who does what and where it is done in the city, they can be more effective at directing those calls to the right people.

“One of the things we will be continuing to focus on is making sure frontline staff are well informed so that so they are able to be ambassadors for the city.”

The third session will focus on the City’s strategic and framework and will take place on Nov. 30 at the City Hall committee room.

“This session will include how we (city) envision building the strategy for the new council’s term and how it is going to integrate with the business planning cycle.”

The fourth session to be held on Dec. 12 at the City Hall committee room, will involve a review of all the City’s Master Plans.

“This is management’s opportunity to provide a brief presentation on the master plans applicable to their areas.

“These are foundational documents that are inputs to our strategy. Our strategy becomes an input to the budget and therefore projects we are taking on,” explained Boyd.

“We are trying to build a picture for council of the framework we are going to use for strategic development and strategic planning by showing them some of the key documents they should be familiar with.”

T H E F O OT Keeping on track for rural residents

By Lori Larsen

They are big and powerful and are looked upon with fascination by children of all ages. They are trains.

Aside from the somewhat romanticized image trains possess, they are also an invaluable means of transporting goods across our country. Ken Eshpeter, from the Daysland area, along with many rural farmers and residents on the Alliance/Camrose line, knows all too well the value of the iron horse.

In 2003, after hearing about CN’s intention to discontinue the rail service between Alliance and Camrose, Ken, along with others in the area who would be affected by this decision, decided to approach CN about keeping the service viable.

“We indicated to CN that we didn’t want them to discontinue service so we decided to start loading large numbers of producer cars on this line,” explained Ken. “We averaged 525 producer cars yearly from 2003 to 2010.” Despite that effort, CN said they would quit providing service, leaving the purchase of the shortline the only available option for the Battle River Producer Car Group.

“We had a meeting with farmers and unanimously decided to buy the line,” said Ken with a hint of boyish delight. “It is an incredible piece of infrastructure with six gorgeous sidings including Alliance, Galahad, Forestburg, Heisler, Rosalind and Kelsey. We weren’t letting that go.”

The interested parties formed a New Generation Co-operative, sold shares raising $3.5 million and borrowed some funds from Agricultural Financial Services. Upon completion of the deal to purchase the line, they began operating their own shortline, Battle River Railway (BRR), in 2010.

“One of our goals was to maintain the real local flavour and run it ourselves,” said Ken. “We have a lot of the employees working with us from within the confines of our communities. We have four locomotive engineers who have trained and drive the trains now.” As well, BRR employs a full-time train manager, a full-time maintenance foreman, a grain merchant and four part-time brakeman (conductors).

“It’s quite fabulous,” smiled Ken. “All the stars lined up and it is a great group of farmers and a great group on the board of directors.”

BRR loads grain at each of the six sidings on the line, pulls it to Camrose to interchange with CN who then pull it to Van-

couver, Prince Rupert and interior BC. CN retained ownership of the nine miles of track from Highway 56 to Camrose. BRR has a running rights agreement to operate on CN’s portion of the track.

A big change in BRR operations occurred in 2016 when they decided to form a grain company allowing them to buy grain and begin blending. “Blending allows us to upgrade the price and quality potential of any given farmer’s grain.” The ultimate goal is to provide that benefit to the farmers.

Ken confesses that

and the upcoming Santa Daze Run on Dec. 9. Each excursion is accompanied by a cast of characters who amuse and entertain passengers during their ride, including Ken, who dons a conductor’s uniform and takes passengers back to the romantic days of train riding.

Besides Ken’s dedication to BRR and FBRR, he is a co-founder and longtime member of the not-forprofit Daysland and District Cultural Arts Society which operates Daysland Palace Theatre. The theatre was purchased in 1999 by the Town of Daysland

Conductor Ken Eshpeter is ready to board passengers on one of the Friends of Battle River Railway excursions.

entertaining a love for trains by many of the people involved, including himself, is an added bonus.

“This love of trains has shown up in lots of different places and has spilled over onto the Friends of Battle River Railway (FBRR). We had the track and people who would drive it, so why not try some tourism excursions.”

In 2012, residents of the six communities on the shortline met and discussed the feasibility of running tourism excursions. With platinum memberships and fundraising efforts, $110,000 was raised, a vintage rail car purchased, and the acquisition of the Forestburg Railway Station obtained. In 2013, the first special excursion was run for the platinum members as a way of thanking them for their support.

Now FBRR runs excursions highlighting special events within the communities along the line such as Old Time Market Days, Family Fun Run, The Great Battle River Train Robbery, Octoberfest Train, Haunted Train Station

and the local ag society after being approached by this society to keep their community alive and offer residents some wonderful local options for entertainment.

A dedicated group of volunteers, including Ken’s wife Sharon as manager, work hard at maintaining the facility and bringing in movies as well as concerts to the theatre. “It’s another miracle,” said Ken. “We’ve had really good support from Flagstaff County, local people and some corporations and businesses in the vicinity.”

Although Ken retired from the board a year ago, he still puts in time as a projectionist and maintenance man at the theatre.

“There is one thing that I have grown to know in the ‘real’ rural area; if we as the citizens don’t decide that something is important and take it upon ourselves to provide a good or a service, it won’t happen.

You have to do it yourself.”

A mantra Ken is more than familiar with.

Once is not enough for this island band

By Murray Green

First thing you notice about The Once is the strong, clear vocals delivered by Geraldine Hollett. Then you realize the supporting members are great musicians.

Rose City Roots Music Society presents The Once at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Nov. 24 at 8 p.m.

This modern indie folk trio from Newfoundland has collected three Canadian Folk Music Awards, numerous ECMA awards, was named Artist of the Year by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council. They have earned not one, but two Juno nominations for best roots/traditional album, the

most recent in acknowledgement of Departures (2014).

While originally known for its haunting interpretations of traditional music, The Once has at long last uncovered a sound that truly represents their inner artistry.

The group features Geraldine on lead vocals and vocalist-instrumentalists Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale playing a variety of instruments.

Their fans have been waiting patiently for a year for new music, and with We Win Some We Lose The Once have delivered a deep, thoughtful and exciting new collection of songs.

Best Christmas Pageant Ever

By Murray Green

The Augustana Drama department will be presenting the Paul Johnsondirected play The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

The play is adapted from the bestselling Christmas classic by Barbara Robinson. The story follows the outrageous behaviour of the Herdman siblings – the worst kids in the history of the world.

“Normally, we hold our major production in the spring and we have the fall to do the prep work. However, timing was important. I’m going on a sabbatical for a year, so I wanted to hold it in the fall. The Lougheed isn’t as booked in November as it tends to get in March,” Paul explained.

“Because it is coming into the Christmas season, we wanted to have a play for the entire family and for all ages. I thought it would be a fun one to do.”

Five showings of the play will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Three evening shows will play on Nov. 23, 24 and 25 beginning at 7 p.m.

Two matinees will be held on Nov. 25 and 26 with 2 p.m. start times.

“The story is about six siblings who are labelled as the worst children. But, as we go through the play, we realize that they are more misunderstood than anything.”

The Herdmans never really knew the true meaning of Christmas. They learn after taking over the annual Christmas pageant and start to re-imagine it in their own way. This year’s pageant is like no other, but maybe that’s what makes it so special.

“They show up just wanting refreshments, but in their bullying way, they decide to take all of the

major roles and intimidate the rest of the children.”

The play has a full cast.

“If you look at all of the characters in the play, it is in the high 20s. We have a company of 20, so some are playing two roles. We were able to cast it so everyone has some good stage time,” added Paul. “The new semester system shortened our time to get ready for the production. Usually in the fall, we do research and make set designs. The good thing about the play is that it is a manageable length (an hour).”

The students are a mix from campus. Some are drama students, but others are science majors and in other disciplines. “When we hold auditions, it is open to the entire campus. Students range from first- to fifth-year students doing double degrees. Those who have been in productions before take on a leadership roles.”

This Augustana drama production will feature the musical accompaniment and underscoring of Robert Renman, along with the Camrose Children’s Choir (under the direction of JoyAnne Murphy). The show is suitable for all ages.

Holding the play in the Lougheed Centre offers some challenges. “My biggest fear is can we fill that many seats. In the past, we have had to turn away as many people as we can seat. We feel this is a type of show that will attract more people. The good thing is that they have staff to help us so I don’t have to worry about some of it. The students will benefit from performing on a larger stage.”

The students will have three days to prepare at the Lougheed Centre before the curtains open.

The Once’s newest EP, We Win Some We Lose, perfectly encapsulates the trio’s newfound artistic freedom and songwriting voice.

With their folk roots still firmly in hand, Phil, Geri and Andrew have embraced a distinctly modern sound by the inclusion of drums and percussion, electric guitars and sweeping keyboards.

Lyrically, The Once’s newest collection of songs encompasses an arresting sense of loss, emphasized musically by Geraldine’s bewitching delivery of beautifully haunting melodies.

The first single, “We Are Love,” offers a ray of hope amidst an otherwise provocative and emotive musical anthology.

The group formed out of pressure and necessity, when working at a summer theatre festival in the tiny ex-fishing village of Trinity, Newfoundland nearly 10 years ago. In the Newfoundland vernacular, ‘the once’ means ‘imminently, but not necessarily so.’ Phil, Geri

Their award-winning selftitled debut was eventually released as was its follow-up Row Upon Row Of The People They Know, for which they received a Juno nomination.

In 2013, another chance encounter this time at a Glasgow festival, led to a collaboration and friendship with Mike Rosenberg. Together they have performed all over the world. In 2014, the band released the album Departures worldwide to great critical acclaim, leading to multiple awards, including another coveted Juno nomination.

With the release of the EP, We Win Some We Lose, The Once enters a new era, with new sounds, new styles and new ideas. The whirlwind of the past few years has honed their sound and creativity, and having found their voice, the band is looking firmly ahead.

Early native history shared by Rotary club

By Murray Green

You can learn of the life and times of Pihtokahanapiwiyin, better known as Plains Cree Chief Poundmaker, by attending the Rotary Club of Camrose speaker series on Monday, Nov. 27 beginning at 11:45 a.m. at the Camrose Resort Casino.

Poundmaker was known as a peacemaker and defender of his people and will be presented by Dr. Dan Sims.

In his adult life, Poundmaker gained prominence during the 1876 negotiations of Treaty 6 and split off to form his own band.

In 1881, the band settled on a reserve about 40 km northwest of Fort Battleford. Poundmaker was not opposed of the idea of a treaty, but became critical of the Canadian government’s failures to live up to its promises.

In 1873, Crowfoot, chief of the Blackfoot First Nation, had adopted Poundmaker thereby increasing the latter’s influence. This move also cemented the ties between the Blackfoot and the Cree, which successfully stopped the struggling over the now very scarce buffalo.

The shortage of bison left Poundmaker’s people desperately hungry and, in 1885, they traveled south to Battleford. Oral history accounts suggest Poundmaker went to the fort to speak with the Indian agent, Rae, and reaffirm his loyalty to the Queen after a murder at the nearby Mosquito Reserve; however, the people of Battleford and some of the settlers in the surrounding area, hearing reports of large numbers of Cree

Rust leads runners

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings men’s cross-country running team were led by Erik Rust, who came in 30th at nationals in Quebec. Collège Lionel-Groulx during the CCAA Cross-Country Running National Championships Nov. 11.

Augustana was fifth in the team event, while SAIT came in third. Rust crossed the line in 27:16.8 minutes for the Vikings. Matthieu placed 39th, Joedy Dalke followed in 45th place and Michio Green was 55th to round out the four local runners.

On the women’s side, Augustana was ninth in the team event. SAIT was second, Red Deer fourth and Lethbridge was sixth.

Emily McIlroy led the Vikings in 26th place. She was followed by Jessica Haenni in 38th, Mackenzie Grove in 41st and Annika Olesen in 76th place.

and Assiniboine leaving reserves and making their way to Battleford, feared for their safety.

On the night of March 30, 1885, townspeople began to abandon the town and seek shelter in the North-West Mounted Police Fort Battleford. When Poundmaker and his party reached the town, the first nation agent refused to come out of the fort to meet with them. He kept them waiting for two days.

Telegrams sent by those barricaded in the fort indicated they believed it was an attack, but Peter Ballantyne exited the fort and, acting as a spy, checked Poundmaker’s plans and found his intentions peaceful.

Fights broke out between the fort, civilians and natives.

Poundmaker, who had not taken part in the fight, prevented his warriors from pursuing the soldiers.

It is thought that this action prevented the loss of many lives on both sides since a serious amount of counter-measures would have had to be placed to cover the retreat.

Register the Friday before each event by calling 780-679-4657 (leave a message), or email Rotary Camrose@gmail.com.

The next event is on Monday, Dec. 4 at 11:45 a.m. with The Famous Five, a group of Alberta women who fought for democratic rights and social issues, presented by former MLA Mary O’Neill at the Camrose Resort Casino.

Kodiaks win two

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks snapped a losing stretch and turned it into a two-game winning streak.

Camrose edged the Drumheller Dragons 3-2 on Remembrance Day after stealing a 3-2 victory over the Brooks Bandits the night before.

It was the Kodiaks that were breathing fire against the Dragons and stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the first frame.

Brock Bremer and Matt Dykstra scored and collected assists with linemate Jacob Kendall helping to set up both tallies.

After Drumheller came back with two in the second, it was Kendall’s turn to score in the third period.

Goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 35 of 37 shots. Camrose recorded 31 shots on the Drumheller net.

The netminder was named the league’s player of the week for his two wins.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, November 21, 2017 – Page 23

Gordon Leslie Lindseth July 3, 1932 - November 11, 2017 Gord was the middle child of parents Ludwig and Sigrid Lindseth who grew up on their farm north of Strome. His older siblings were twins Marvin and Margaret, while Lois, better known as Loie, was his baby sister. For about five years, the family managed the farm without husband and father while Ludwig served during the war.

Gord, or Gordie as many knew him, left the little country school and worked for neighbouring farmers in his early teens until he found work on construction jobs. He soon went to work in the oil patch where the money was better and he could still go back to his dad’s farm during the busy season. During this time of his life, he met a Killam girl known as “Lue” and in 1954, they were married. They started out “roughing it” in one of the many “skid shacks” in Drayton Valley at the beginning of the oil boom there. However, their stay was cut short after 33 days of continuous rain and lease roads without gravel. Bumpers were pulled off vehicles trying to get pulled out, and even the “Cats” were stuck.

So in that same year of ’54, they moved to Camrose where he started work with Baldwin and Knoll Oil Well Servicing Ltd., continuing for the next 22 years. While living in Camrose, their three children, son Jay and daughters Lori and Tracy were born. We were about to sign the papers for a new house in Camrose when Gord spied a little farm for sale while working in the oil fields near Hay Lakes. The price for the quarter section was about the same as the new house. There was no question, we would buy the little farm with the older buildings. But equipment and livestock were needed, so Gord said he’d need to keep working two or three years longer in the oil business. That turned out to be over 30 years, as we expanded the farm. When he was offered a job as a battery operator looking after wells close to home, he resigned from B&K and was able to come home for lunch every day – it was like a holiday! He later also operated a gas plant nearby, continuing to farm.

A problem solver, with a bit of an inventive mind, Gord was always finding an easier way or a better way to do things to make something work. On the farm, there were plenty of opportunities! The use of his welder could especially help him fix and create. Not one to give up anything, he’d say, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Like others with a good memory, he was especially good at numbers. He could figure most things out in his head quicker than a salesman with a calculator. Or look at a serial number wherever it was (in the field or in the shop) then later phone for a part with the long number still in his head.

Gord wasn’t too interested in traveling the world, but the trip he most enjoyed was a cruise to Alaska. We laughed at his comment regarding all the people lying on the beach in Hawaii, when he quietly said, “Even a dog knows enough to lay in the shade.” He believed people would enjoy just camping out in one of the sheltered grassy areas at the farm, maybe along the creek, enjoying nature, scenery and the peacefulness. The simple pleasures of family and friends, letting the grandkids explore and use certain tools and materials, or maybe a game of cards or checkers. One regret was that during the years our kids were growing up, not enough time was devoted to them while he worked two jobs – on and off the farm. When the pace slowed and he devoted his time only to the farm, he also enjoyed more time with the grandkids, their sports and activities, and just having them around, especially on the farm, where there was always more activity.

When his body began to fail him, the farm remained – if now only a hobby. However, by September 2006, as his health and vision continued to decline, Gord and Lue retired to a home in Camrose. They found a place backing onto a scenic area of the golf course with a pond out the back door, so it felt a little like the country and not too hemmed in. It was a good place to be. Life there was almost too uneventful though and, as Gord was able to do less and less, he occasionally commented it felt like he was “in jail”. Oh, how he missed the farm!

Well, now you’ve left a wife; a son; two sons-in-law; five grandchildren; two great-grandsons; two sisters; three sisters-in-law; seven brothers-in-law; and many, many more family and friends. But as you join your two daughters, we pray you’re all rejoicing on the farm above with the rest of your family and friends who have gone before.

A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 18, 2017 from Messiah Lutheran Church with Rev. Calvin Skriver and Bev Swanson officiating. Inurnment has taken place in the Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Camrose Booster celebrates 65 years

By Lori Larsen It has stood the test of time and is still delivering. The wellread local newspaper, The Camrose Booster, is celebrating its 65th anniversary of bringing local news and business to the kitchen tables of Camrose and area residents.

Founded by Berdie and Bill Fowler in 1952, The Camrose Booster has maintained its mission of providing a boost to Camrose in all aspects.

The name, The Camrose Booster, is as pertinent as the history itself. Bonnie (Hutchinson), the Fowler’s eldest daughter, was 11 years old when Berdie and Bill announced they were going to start a local weekly paper. “Over the dinner table, Mom and Dad were talking about what its name should be. They weren’t inspired by the names of other similar papers,” recalls Bonnie as though it were just yesterday. “Our family names were Bill, Berdie, Bonnie, Blain, Beth and Bruce and a cat named Boots. We thought the paper name should probably start with ‘B’.”

After inquiring as to what the paper would be about, Bonnie was told it was about boosting the community. The rest, quite literally, is history.

Long-standing history Laurie Higgins, a neighbour of Berdie and Bill’s, and manager of a downtown department store, approached Bill with a suggestion of beginning a weekly newspaper.

Eager to begin his own business and after discussing the idea with Berdie, Bill prepared a business plan and approached the bank.

The bank, however, was not quite as eager as Bill, but with

the promise of a six-week com m itment from local businesses to advertise in the paper, the bank eventually agreed to lend funds to assist in the new venture.

On November 25, 1952, Volume I No. 1 of The Camrose Booster was produced and 2,000 copies were distributed to 1,270 residential units in Camrose and 730 to adjacent rural homes.

With a limited budget and resources, the Fowlers worked out of the basement of their home. “We needed personnel to sell, write ad and news copy, produce, print, distribute, do the bookkeeping, banking and supply management.

That would be Bill and me plus six carrier boys to deliver Boosters to Camrose homes,” said Berdie during an evening celebrating The Booster’s 50th anniversary in 2002.

With no funds to purchase a printing press, the first six months of The Booster were printed in Ponoka with Berdie and Bill doing all of the pre-press preparation directly on metal plates. Headlines and illustrations were done freehand or traced with pen nibs and reproducing ink. The typed copy was completed on a typewriter that Bill was using as the Kinsmen Club bulletin editor.

With a total investment of $11 with hours of labour and a vision to give Camrose and area a free weekly local paper that provided a boost, a 20-page, 8-1/2” x 14” newsprint paper held together with a single stitch in the top left hand corner was introduced.

From its humble beginnings in the basement of Berdie and Bill’s home to its present location where it has been since 1958, the Camrose Booster is still going strong.

Berdie and Bill In 1940, after dating, Berdie (Anderson) and Bill Fowler were married and began an adventurous and, most often, happily married life of 51 years.

The couple spent from 1940 until 1945 moving to various bases of the Royal Canadian Air Force. When Bill was shipped overseas Booster Bill strides with determination to a in 1944, Berdie, along local Camrose business to boost the community with children Bonnie and Blain, returned to through advertising in The Camrose Booster.

Berdie carefully prepares the next edition of The Booster while son Blain works in the background.

Camrose. “Dad returned in 1945 and he farmed with my grandfather,” said Blain.

The family continued to grow, welcoming daughter Beth and son Bruce.

Once the paper was established, Bill became the salesman extraordinaire visiting local businesses selling advertising and promoting the paper.

“Everybody knew him as Booster Bill,” smiled Blain. “Dad always wore a Stetson hat and was proud of being a Westerner.”

Bill did have experience in the newspaper industry prior to serving in the Air Force (and before his marriage to Berdie), working for the Edmonton Journal. More importantly, he had the gift to sell.

He also fancied himself a writer and saw The Booster as an outlet for his writing. “I can remember him sitting at the desk, laughing as he was preparing a story,” reminisced Blain.

Berdie ensured the paper was produced accurately and efficiently, completing any role necessary to keep the paper running. She was also an avid writer and won several awards for her Pen Points columns, including the coveted Independent Free Papers of America (IFPA) Joseph M. Sklenar Editorial Award of Excellence.

“Berdie was a very remarkable

person,” Blain said with a twinge of melancholy. “She was on the board of TransAlta Utilities and the board of Alberta Opportunities Company. She was widely respected as one of the leading business people.” Berdie also served as an alderman and helped establish vital programs and services in Camrose, all at the will of developing a community that serviced all of its residents.

Both Berdie and Bill were strong supporters of Camrose Chamber of Commerce and each served as president.

Dedicated parents, grandparents, business people and community members, Bill and Berdie left legacies far beyond their years.

After Bill’s passing in 1991, Berdie continued enjoying her family and travelling, contributing to her community and working at the paper until her passing in 2013.

“When she was headed for the ‘last round up’, she phoned me on the Saturday morning (prior to the last Pen Points column) confused about her latest column,” smiled Blain.

Three weeks after her last column, Berdie passed away, leaving behind her words of wisdom and a slew of friends and family who will never forget her.

Camrose Booster celebrates Retire at 65? Nah!

I’m stunned that The Camrose Booster is 65 years old. In some circles, that’s official retirement age.

The Booster does not look like it’s planning to retire any time soon. I’ve been having flashbacks of the origins of The Camrose Booster, which my parents launched about a month after my eleventh birthday. As a child, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just what grown-ups in my life were doing in the background. As an adult, I am struck by the sheer improbability of how it began.

The Camrose Booster’s third location on 48th Street is where the voice of the community continues to be heard.

Continued from page 26

New generation In 1976, eldest son Blain purchased Berdie and Bill’s shares of the Camrose Booster and took over the tremendous responsibility of running the paper.

Blain worked his way through the business from a carrier at age 10 to his present position as publisher.

While Blain has his finger on the pulse of the entire business, his true passion lays in creating advertising. “It is another case of creating something yourself that is different. It gives you an opportunity to express yourself.”

Blain spoke fondly of working with Max McLean, of Max McLean’s Men’s Wear, and the great joy he had in being able to put together some amazingly creative advertisements. “Max absolutely believed in advertising and he just turned me loose. That’s what I like to do and that’s why I got into this business.”

Blain has no doubt seen a great deal of change in the newspaper industry.

“Production has changed dramatically. We used to have eight people in our composition department and now we have four who handle a far greater workload.”

Technology has changed the way many things are done and the paper is no exception. “Now, our graphic artists are just as good as the ones in New York City and in Los Angeles. That is why this year we won the IFPA first place award for General Excellence which is the best in North America of free circulation community newspapers. I am very proud of what our people have accomplished.”

The Camrose Booster has a history of winning the award and has won it several times. “The sky is really the limit with people who have a ‘Max McLean’ attitude about doing something better. And we (Camrose Booster) have that kind of people working here.

“The Camrose Booster tells a story of this community,” said Blain. “Can you imagine this community without its voice?”

Not to be one to rest on the laurels of The Booster’s strong roots and beginnings, Blain, along with the tightly-knit team at the Booster, continue to ensure its growth, diversity and strong community commitment.

The paper itself has grown to include the weekly regular edition, a bi-weekly Country Booster edition, six editions annually of The Super Booster, a popular website and the Camrose Now! app. The Camrose Booster also develops websites

for local businesses, clubs and organizations and the company sells much of the advertising specialty products and logo clothing in the market.

“In 65 years, everything about the paper’s technology has changed,” remarked Bonnie (Fowler) Hutchinson, a regular columnist for The Booster. “It started on a card table in my parents’ bedroom. Pages were created by hand with pen and ink and a typewriter. Now, everything is electronic. But, as technology changed, and the community changed, and times changed, one thing has never changed: it’s still intended to boost local business and boost the community. It’s the Home Team Paper.”

“It is indeed a pleasure to offer our congratulations to the Camrose Booster, their present staff, previous staff and certainly the founding members, namely Bill and Berdie Fowler, on the occasion of their 65th anniversary as a mainstay in the local advertising business. Over the years, the operation has expanded to provide many other services to the community, but this is truly an entrepreneurial venture that grew into a success story for the Fowlers. We wish them many more years of continued success in the community.”

– Norm Mayer Booster family Berdie and Bill’s legacy continues strong at the Booster. Blain and wife Marlene’s own children work diligently at maintaining one of the longer-lasting businesses of Camrose. Eldest son Kirby is production manager, daughter Andrea is office administrator and youngest son Jeff is an account executive. Don Hutchinson, Bonnie’s son, works as the Booster comptroller.

All in all, the Camrose Booster employs 28 people, combined full and part time, and over 40 paper carriers.

When I first came to the Camrose Booster, like any newbie, I felt a little apprehensive and, while some people may be concerned joining a family-run business, I was excited. I recently celebrated my second anniversary at the Booster, but I still feel like a sapling in a wellestablished forest.

I feel privileged to be a part of this incredible team and have come to appreciate the dedication of the Camrose Booster family. A family of staff who takes great pride in continuing to be “always better – always better read”.

***

Mom’s “relevant” background: She’d taken a year’s business college at (then) Camrose Lutheran College and learned typing, shorthand and bookkeeping. And she was good at drawing. She’d even drawn an excellent pencil portrait of King George VI. Dad’s “relevant” background: As a teenager, he’d delivered papers for the Edmonton Journal (the money helped support his mother and younger brother). He too had a year’s business college (Mom told me that was the year they became an item). He’d travelled for the Edmonton Journal before he enlisted in the Air Force and went to war.

And he had the Gift of the Gab. He was a shameless hustler. ***

After the war, Dad worked in a seed cleaning plant, farmed for a few years with my grandfather, and, after an acrimonious parting, sold real estate for a few months. When he discovered the real estate agent was cheating people, Dad quit – with a wife and four little kids to support. While Dad looked for a new way to earn a living, Mom went to work part time as a store clerk. (Shocking in those days for a mother to work outside her home! As a 10-year-old, I was embarrassed.)

A neighbour, Laurie Higgins, suggested an idea to Dad – a new concept. It was a sort-of newspaper, but instead of people buying the paper, it was delivered free of charge to every home.

How could this work? The selling point was this: businesses that advertised in the paper could be assured that their ads would reach every household in the community.

In contrast, ads in the “regular” newspaper would only be seen in households of people who were willing to pay for the paper. That would never be 100 per cent.

Dad thought the concept made sense. He asked, “If this is such a good idea, why don’t you start the business?”

Laurie – a quiet reserved Englishman – said, “I don’t have the right personality.” Ah. Perhaps my dad, the shameless hustler, had the right personality. ***

I’ve been trying to imagine the conversations between my parents – my dad who believed, “If there isn’t any risk, there isn’t any fun,” and my prudent mom who was not a risk-taker.

Whatever their conversations, The Booster was launched as a home-based business – “home-based” being a card table in my parents’ tiny bedroom.

Dad was the hustler, convincing local businesses to buy ads in the first four issues of the paper. Mom was the “production” person, creating pages on metal plates, using pen and ink and a typewriter.

Very early Tuesday mornings, Dad drove the metal plates to a similar paper in Ponoka where the paper was printed and stapled. Then he drove the papers back to Camrose for delivery to every household. The twelve original Booster carriers included my brother Blain and me.

(Delivering papers was pretty much a condition of family membership.) ***

Last year, a reader told me the story of standing outside Ferris Motors (the very same building on 51st Street, now occupied by the law offices of Knaut Johnson Francoeur) with the owner Jack Ferris. My dad came up to them and handed them a copy of the first issue of The Camrose Booster. After Dad left, Jack Ferris turned to the man and said, “A paper that you don’t pay for. Now there’s a business that won’t last a year.”

One last bit of trivia: To the best of my knowledge, The Booster never published a pencil drawing of King George VI. *** I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send an email to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com.

I’ll happily reply within one business day.

Winter is here!

It’s time to get your vehicles ready!

Ford Mustang owners are a special breed

By Murray Green

If you love sports cars, then you know what the attraction to owning a Ford Mustang is all about.

Dean Gagnon from Camrose couldn’t resist owning a 1968 Ford Mustang coupe when he had the opportunity.

“It came from the factory with a six cylinder, but it was switched to a 351 cc motor before I got it. I bought it 15 years ago from a cousin of mine that painted it, put the chrome back on and I had to finish the interior.”

The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car.

The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

“It sat in the garage for a number of years because I was too busy with work.

Then work slowed down and I was able to finish it over the summer and put it back together,” recalled Dean.

Mustangs were initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment.

“Over the years I collected the parts and put it together this past summer.

It took me three weeks, but it was fun to get it running again. It beats having the car sit in the garage and collecting dust.”

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original model. Ford’s designers began drawing up a larger version even as the original was achieving sales success.

“I’ve always liked Mustangs, but this one is special because it is the same year as I was born. That’s why I bought this particular car.

That, and the fact it was a steal of a deal I couldn’t turn down. My favourite Mustang might be a 1969, but because of the year and the deal I got on this, it is the special car

MY LITTLE PONY

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Dean Gagnon turned his garage pony in to an attractive Mustang last summer by completing some upgrades. He enjoys going to some of the local shows to share his stories and his shiny vehicle.

for me. The body work was already done. I paid $2,800 for it and now it is worth about $15,000 to $18,000,” estimated Dean. “It’s not a full option car, it’s a basic model. I just fixed it up, but it takes time to do it.”

The major mechanical feature was to allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine.

The overall size, interior and cargo space were increased.

Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes.

“I had to add the exhaust system because it was cut off at the manifold. When I bought the car, I also bought a bunch of pieces to go with it. I found an exhaust, not the original, but one from a Mustang that would work for it. I wanted to keep it as original as I could.”

The 1967 hardtop also had the chrome quarter trim caps, carried over from 1965-66, but

these were painted to match the interior in 1968 models.

“The biggest challenge was putting the exhaust on and make it fit properly.”

The 1968 models that were produced from January 1968 were also the first model year to incorporate three-point lap and shoulder belts (which had previously been optional, in 1967-68 models) as opposed to the standard lap belts. The air-conditioning option was fully integrated into the dash, the speakers and stereo were upgraded and unique center and overhead consoles were options. Changes for the 1968 model increased safety with a two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel, along with newly introduced shoulder belts.

“The first show I went to was the one in Camrose.

Then I went to Round Hill and then Bittern Lake. I have a farm around Camrose, so I get to play with working on vehicles at my leisure. I like to go to the

local shows where you know a lot of people.”

The 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback reached iconic status after it was featured in the 1968 film Bullitt, star-

ring Steve McQueen. In the film, McQueen drove a modified 1968 Mustang GT Fastback chasing a Dodge Charger through the streets of San Francisco.

Charity Checkstop

By Lori Larsen

Pull over for a good cause on Dec. 2 from noon until 4 p.m. during the 11th annual Voluntary Charity Checkstop and help the Camrose Police Service and Camrose RCMP make the holidays happier for families in our community.

The Voluntary Charity Checkstop will be located on the service road (eastbound) in front of Camrose Registry, parallel to 48th Avenue. Volunteer members of Camrose Police Service, Camrose RCMP and Camrose Victims Services Unit will be gratefully accepting donations of money, new toys and food.

All food donations will go to the Camrose Neighbor Aid Food Bank and can include items such as lunch items for children, canned green veggies/fish/meat/stew/chili/ soup, sugar, peanut butter, baby food with meat and juice.

All toy donations will go to the Camrose Kinettes Silent Santa Campaign. Christmas gifts for older children such as board and handheld games, books, sporting goods and gift certificates are greatly appreciated.

All monetary donations will go to Camrose and District Victim Services and will be used to train advocates to aid victims of crime and tragedy in the City of Camrose and Camrose County.

Tax receipts will be available to donors for monetary contributions of $25 or greater and are only available from Camrose and District Victim Services. Complete name and mailing address will be required for a tax receipt. Corporate donations are gratefully accepted.

While you are cruising around on Dec. 2 doing a little holiday shopping, be sure to stop by the Voluntary Checkstop, donate to a good cause and thank the volunteers for their tireless work in helping others in our community.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Good weather and the goodwill of the community was the perfect recipe to create a successful Charity Checkstop last year.

Green captures championship buckle at rodeo finals

By Murray Green

Layton Green of Meeting Creek continued to have success at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton Nov. 8 to 12.

He was the leader during the regular season and he scored an 86 in his last round to earn $29,325 in four days. That was good enough to keep him in the lead with $107,363 in prize money in 2017, in fact, that set a new record for money won in saddle bronc riding.

Justin Berg of Camrose finished in eighth place throughout the year and added another $12,075 at the finals. Zeke Thurston of Big Valley challenged Green by collecting $42,118 at the finals for a yearly total of $83,128.

In bull riding, Layton’s brother Garrett Green of Meeting Creek earned $5,462 on the week to wrap up the year with $38,055 in prize money. Garrett Smith hung on to his lead to win the event.

Riley Warren of Stettler came in second in the tie-down roping event by

adding $26,450 to his wallet. He came within $1,000 of the winner Logan Bird.

Jason Thomas recorded a 4.2 second time in the last round to capture the steer wrestling event. Scott Guenthner of Provost placed second after a four second run in the last round.

Curtis Cassidy of Donalda doubled his regular season money to end with $49,620.

Rene Leclercq of Holden made more in five days then she did the rest of the year.

In total, she made $39,330 and finished fifth on the last day in ladies’ barrel racing.

In team roping, Brett McCarroll and Justin McCarroll of Camrose roped a calf in 4.5 seconds on the last day and collected $32,775 each at the finals in the six rounds.

“We put the pressure on Levi and Jeremy to tie us or have a faster time in the last round and they came through with a 4.2 time,” said Brett. “It was a great weekend for us to be able to double our earnings at the finals. It will help us catch up on the bills to pay.”

Never warm new vehicles

By Murray Green

Winter motorists are reminded when the temperature drops below zero, the recommended warm-up time is less than 30 seconds.

Letting your vehicle run idle for more than 30 seconds will actually do more damage then good.

Never leave your running vehicle unattended.

“Light-duty gasoline

and diesel (car, SUV, pickup) vehicles are recommended (from the United States Department of Energy) 30 seconds (check your owner’s manual for any specific recommendation),” suggests Idle-Free VT. Natural Resources Canada also provides advice on recommended warm-ups in different temperature ranges.

Continued on page 31

The brothers won the most money in the finals, but Levi Simpson of Ponoka and Jeremy Buhler of Arrowhead were the top ropers of the year. Two built up enough of a lead in the regular season to hold off the McCarroll ropers.

“Our families come first,

so we have been entering less rodeos in the summer. It’s special to be able to rope with my brother Justin.

“He has been heading well (lead roper) and I have been fortunate to come through as the heeler. He really came through for us at the Calgary Stampede to

qualify us for the finals. He set me up nice, but it didn’t work out the first time. He gave me another fine set up and we were successful the second time.”

The brothers placed in five of the six rounds in Edmonton.

Never warm vehicles past 30 seconds Continued from page 30

When it is above freezing temperatures, typically there is no need to warm-up at standstill. The best way to warm up is to drive the vehicle at a moderate pace.

When it is below freezing, up to 30 seconds is enough to allow for complete circulation of engine oil. Warm-up time is also determined by the effectiveness of defrosting – do not drive if you can’t see clearly out of the windshield.

Again, driving the car (slowly to moderately) is the best way to warm up in this range. Wheel bearings, steering, suspension, transmission, catalytic converter and tires also need warming up. The only way to do that is to drive the vehicle.

Driving around the block is a better way to charge up your battery than idling.

In extreme cold, idling the engine for a period of one to three minutes can become necessary, allowing thickened engine oil to adequately circulate throughout the engine and for the likely increased time needed for defrosting/deicing.

However, more than three minutes even in these conditions is considered excessive.

New gadgets can contribute to the over-idling.

Remote vehicle starters encourage excessive idling so, in general, avoid using them. If you like the handy device, then keep in mind the 30-second rule.

Your vehicle should be tuned-up and have a good battery. In extreme cold conditions, use the block

heater that can be timed to turn on one to two hours before starting the engine.

They allow less strain on the starter and battery, can lessen stationary warmup time in extreme cold and allow the vehicle to consume less fuel during warm-up driving.

Protect yourself adequately from the elements with warm clothing rather than relying on the heater.

For non-garaged vehicles, be prepared with window scrapers that work, brushes and spray de-icer. When necessary, clear snow and scrape/de-ice windows before starting. Then start the engine and immediately blast the defroster. In most cases, you’ll be ready to go in 30 seconds. Remember safety first – if defrosting is not adequate, wait another minute or so.

Lower your cost with a less toxic alternative to commercial spray de-icer.

Make your own solution in a spray bottle mixing one part water to two parts rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) along with a few drops of dish detergent.

Diesel engines

Heavy-duty diesel (commercial trucks and buses; school buses) should not be treated much differently.

Diesel engine manufacturers in general recommend no more than three to five minutes of idle time. But there are idling reduction alternatives to consider.

Use electric engine heaters (such as block heaters) to minimize idling time during warm-up, especially in cold weather.

OLMP Royals reach football playoffs for the first time

By Murray Green

The Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Royals football team wrapped the Alberta Six Man Football League by placing eighth.

The ranking earned them a playoff game against

the second best squad, the Breton Cougars on Nov. 11.

“We played our first provincial quarter final game in our school history in Lacombe,” said coach Joe Kucy.

OLMP Royals ran into a tough Breton Cougars team and lost 80-22.

The OLMP touchdowns were scored by Quinten Twomey, Aiden Fenton and Mason Kucy.

“This concludes a very successful football season and the team only graduates four Grade 12 players from the program. The future looks bright,” he added.

The Royals finished the regular season with a 4-3 record. In the last game, they advanced to the playoffs by defeating the Heritage Christian School 30-6.

Police warn don’t be scammed

By Lori Larsen

Recently two people in Camrose were scammed out of large sums of money, the first $5,000 and the second $6,300, through a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Scam that has been victimizing people since 2013.

“We continue to have people victimized by the CRA scam,” noted Camrose Police Service constable Kelly Bauer. “It’s so hard to believe that people continue to be victimized by this ridiculous scam, but we have had two people this week fall into this trap!”

Victims receive telephone calls from the scammers who represent themselves as an agent with the Canada Revenue Agency. The person receiving the phone call is told that there was an error on their tax return and they now owe the CRA thousands of dollars in taxes. The caller (scammer) states that payment must be made immediately, in the form of ITunes cards, to avoid going to jail.

“These victims are willing to attend several businesses that sell ITunes cards in order to purchase enough cards to fill the demands of the scammer, usually between $5,000 and $7,500. The victim then calls the scammer back and provides them with the 16 digit activation numbers which are on the back of the cards,” explained Const. Bauer.

The police implore people to recognize this as a scam and to not fall

victim to it and therefore be defrauded out of money.

Const. Bauer said that he does not doubt there are many others in the community that are also being victimized by the scam but may be too embarrassed to telephone the police.

“The public needs to protect themselves and quit being so gullible and so easily deceived. Stop and think … why would the CRA want me to buy ITunes cards as payment? Does that make any sense?”

Aside from the warnings offered by Camrose Police Services and Camrose RCMP, some merchants in town who sell ITunes cards have posted signs on the card displays warning customers of the scam and go so far as to inquire with customers making large ITunes purchases to ensure they are not being scammed.

Losing what may very well be your life savings can be prevented by making one simple inquiry. If you receive a telephone call from someone claiming to be with the Canada Revenue Agency, get a name and tell them you will call them back, then contact the Canada Revenue Agency yourself. For more information visit www.canada.ca/en/ revenue-agency/corporate/ security/protect-yourselfagainst-fraud.html. Don’t be scammed.

If you suspect you have been the victim of a deceptive telemarketing, contact the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

One Less Trip helps small business Submitted

One Less Trip is a shop local campaign that aims to encourage subtle shifts in shopping patterns. The initiative focuses on bringing awareness to the relationship between communities, their local business owners, and the benefit of keeping your dollars in your community.

The campaign was launched exactly one year ago by the Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED) and its local partners with the simple goal of making it easier to make “one less trip.” By highlighting local businesses and what they offer, we hope to increase

consumer knowledge and to keep you local.

Shopping at home is good for everyone. One less trip to a larger centre or city saves dollars on fuel, time and stress on travel and keeps dollars in your community. Local business owners are great supporters of community projects and causes, meaning your next local purchase might mean a contribution towards something like new hockey jerseys. The time and money you save might mean you have time to go down to the rink and see those new jerseys yourself, or enjoy donated park equipment, or the street festival that depends on community contributions.

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.

REFUGEE CENTRE

BRCF assists watershed project The Battle River Community Foundation awarded grants to the Battle River Watershed Alliance to assist with the Waste in “Our Watershed” and “Discover Your Wetland” programs to school children in the Battle River area.

The grant is from income from the Larry and Esther Williams Fund, the Students for a Sustainable Environment Fund, the Ralph and Kaye Rud Fund, the Erik and Gunvor Mygind Fund, the Grattidge Family Fund, the Baumle Farms Fund for

the Environment and the Agricore United Fund. All these funds were created on whole or in part to support environmental projects and programs in our region.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, facilities and initiatives such as this one, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the gen-

erosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $5,000,000 to support community facilities and programs operated by organizations like the Battle River Watershed Alliance.

Battle River Community Foundation vice-chairman David Ofrim presented $9,100 in grants to Susanna Bruneau, research and stewardship coordinator and David Samm, general manager of the Battle River Watershed Alliance.

Refugee Centre welcomes people

By Murray Green

The Camrose Refugee Centre is open to welcome new families into the community. The Centre, located in the Messiah Lutheran Church, officially opened on Oct. 18.

The mission of the Centre is to encourage and facilitate the sponsorship and support of refugees in Camrose. Community volunteers will be assisting people in finding rental housing, giving advice on schools and how to register, sharing information on choosing a family doctor or dental care, assisting in finding work or how to prepare resumes and

interviews, providing information on transportation, child care choices, shopping choices, managing finances and taxes, how to complete government forms and how to pass the Canadian citizenship exam.

The experiences have been very positive. “The usual response is to take care of our local people first before helping refuges, but taking in refugees doesn’t take away from helping others. It simply isn’t so,” said committee member Joe McMorrow. “It has been welcoming and positive.”

Fellow committee member Erhard Pinno agreed.

“Camrose is a welcoming community, more than we think. We have learning institutions here that welcome international students all of the time. It is nothing new,” he explained. “We have helped families here since 1979 with sponsorships from many churches.

Refugee people are ordinary people like you and me. They are not perfect, but they are wonderful people. They contribute to the community like every other Canadian.”

Erhard pointed out that families have gone on to help with Habitat for Humanity homes and are making mortgage payments. “Often they are hard workers, working two or three jobs.”

The Centre offers a place to go for refugees who need assistance. “The ReStore is

a window to the community.

In a sense, we needed that for refugees. It is a window to the community, a place where they can call, connect with others,” Erhard added.

“We had a family in this community that we didn’t know about for a year. They needed help, so that has led to this day. It is a historic day in this community in showing we are welcoming.”

Donations can be made to the Camrose Refugee Centre in care of Messiah Lutheran Church.

“People have to be patient. It is a slow process to receive refugees with so many government forms to fill out.”

The Centre is located inside the church to keep costs at a minimum. “Other churches help out, but we have a charitable status and extra room for the Centre.

We have a small budget of $5,000 for emergency needs and meet other needs as they arise,” added Erhard, chair of the Camrose Refugee Advisory Group.

Day-to-day staffing requirements of the CRC will be met by volunteers, and reports on activities and results will be available every six months.

The CRC may be contacted by phone at 780-7812846, or by email at camroserefugeecentre@gmail.com.

Buffaloes win the league crown

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes bantam football team won the Tier 4 championship game.

Camrose dominated over the Wetaskiwin Warriors on Nov. 4 to win 57-36. “They played in typical Canadian playoff football weather in St. Albert at Riel Sports Park, it was snowy and -15 C,” said president Kim Kienitz.

For many of them, it was their third championship in a row. “They have a great group of players who have played together for many years, they know how to work together, support each other and have forged many friendships. We thank all the coaches and staff for a great year. Our bantam head coach, Josh Kofoed and trainer Amy Cherkas will be moving in the off season and we would like to wish them the best for their future and thank them for their years of volunteering with our organization.”

Members of the winning team include Drew Forster, Kieran Sherman, Wyatt Matson, Billy McDonald, Dustin Kennedy, Thaedon Wolfe, Kaidyn Leach, William Grant, Justin Smith, Marcus Cruz, Braden Ganshirt, Jaxon Anderson, Bradley Rodin, Kris Lee, Eric Tomaszewski, Ari Cruz, Camrin Soosay, Aiden Ramey, Noah Segal, Tristan Kennedy, Justice Storms.

Head coach was Kofoed along with coaches Fitz Sherman, Corbin Matson, Alex Lawson, trainer Cherkas and manager Melissa Smith.

The Camrose Buffaloes Football Association also had a good year in atom and peewee divisions.

“Our atom team moved up a tier for finals and crushed the opposition,” said president Kim Kienitz. “They played against the Millwoods Grizzlies at Foote Field winning 6-1. They played amazing. So proud of them! Great season.”

The peewee squad also made it to the final games in their tier.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Exceptional bi-level home

By Lori Larsen

Located in the quiet neighbourhood of Park Ridge, minutes from walking trails, a school and playground, this five-bedroom bi-level is ready for new owners to move in.

With its beautifully manicured landscaping and grand curb appeal, this home fits right into the upscale neighbourhood.

As you enter the home, you will be impressed by the bright, open concept, roomy entrance way with vaulted ceilings and glass inserts that help envelope the entire area with light. The living area is flanked by windows adding to the brightness of the area.

Artistic little niches lead you into the dining room where a gas fireplace makes sitting at a meal cozy and inviting. This room could also be used as a comfy family room opening directly into the well-appointed kitchen with a large sit-up island and a quaint breakfast area, perfect for enjoying the morning sunlight.

A garden door leads to the maintenance-free deck with a gas hookup for convenient barbecuing overlooking the large, landscaped backyard.

Located on the main floor is a goodsized master bedroom with a walk-in

Tylor Keller closet and a private four-piece ensuite featuring an amazing corner jetted tub that you could unwind in after a long day.

The main floor also has a threepiece main bathroom, an additional bedroom.

With a completely finished lower level as beautiful as the main level, new owners have nothing to do but settle in.

A large family room with a fireplace has plenty of room for a theatre system.

Three more huge bedrooms and a threepiece bathroom give the family many options for space.

Storage is not an issue in this home with a 26’ x 24’ heated garage and a separate parking area with RV-equipped plumbing and hookup.

This beautifully maintained home, located at 83 Park Ridge Drive, is priced at $459,900.
