Decoration day honours all those who served By Murray Green
Decoration Day is a Canadian event that recognizes veterans of Canada’s military. In Camrose, graves are marked of those who served in the military on Aug. 19. “We will be having a short service and wreath laying at the main cenotaph by the Camrose and District Centennial Museum. Then we will be going to the cemetery for a couple of short prayers. Afterwards we head back to the Legion for refreshments,” said Adrian Zinck, of the Camrose branch. Camrose Valleyview Cemetery, located at 4205-52 Street, is owned and operated by the City of Camrose. The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be marking graves and holding a brief ceremony. Decoration Day is held annually on the third Sunday of August. This is a special day to pay tribute to those in the local cemetery. The community ser vices department staff will be available on this day to answer questions, or give assistance finding grave locations. “If anyone knows of a veteran that has recently passed, or knows if we have missed someone,
call the Legion at 780672-3325 so the name can be added to the list,” added Adrian. Vehicle traffic is restricted to roadways only. The speed limit is 20km/hr Flowers and similar decorations must be placed in an approved container. Grave decorations must not include lawn ornaments or any glass or china items. Flowers and potted plants shall not be placed on the turf area of graves between May 1 and October 1, except for a period following Decoration Day or an interment. No pets or animals are permitted in the cemetery. Decoration Day began on June 2, 1890. Originally, the celebration served as a form of protest for veterans of the Battle of Ridgeway, who felt that their contributions to the protection of Canada during the Fenian Raids were being overlooked by the government. The veterans placed decorations at the Canadian Volunteers Monument near Queen’s Park in Toronto on the anniversary of the battle. There were 30,000 participants in 1891, the 25th anniversary of the
Battle of Ridgeway, and up to 50,000 watched the accompanying parade. This became an annual event, taking place on the weekend nearest the original date and accumulating more participants as further conf licts resulted in a larger body of Canadian veterans. Participants included veterans of the Fenian Raids, the NorthWest Rebellion, the Second Boer War and the First World War. The actions of the Fenian veterans resulted in the British creation of service medals recognizing participants in the pre-First World War Canadian conflicts. Canada provided compensation to veterans of the rebellions, but not the Fenian raids. Commemoration of Decoration Day became less prominent in the early 1900s, although it returned to some prominence when the First World War began. In 1931, the Armistice Remembrance Day Act established Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) as the official day commemorating military service in Canada. However, recognition of Decoration Day is still held to honour all lost veterans.
Thanks and gratitude for those who serve and protect. We are just passed the mid-point of summer and it has been good not to see many newspaper reports of serious boating accidents throughout July and the early part of August. I attribute this fact, in large part, to the law enforcement officers who patrol the lakes throughout our riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. They certainly deserve our thanks and gratitude for ensuring our safety and that of our families and friends during the fun summer months. Toward the end of July, while I was enjoying the calm waters of Buffalo Lake and the brilliant sun overhead, we came across two RCMP officers in their patrol boat. I seized the moment to chat with them for a bit, while they took the opportunity to inspect our boat. As is customary, they were checking to see that we had the requisite safety items on board such as a corresponding number of lifejackets to passengers, a bailer, light, and paddles in case of engine failure. As well, they were ensuring the driver had a boat license and the boat was registered. I am happy to report, we passed! Unfortunately, this is not always the case for many boaters who fail to ensure they are safely equipped to be out on the water. While the waters may generally be calm as I experienced that particular day, a storm could blow in without much warning, particularly during those extremely hot days. Over the last 18 years that I have represented this large and primarily rural riding, I have written a number of times, usually at the beginning of summer, about the importance of safety as it relates to many summer activities such as biking, camping (camp fires) and hiking as well as boating. While I believe many constituents are taking proper precautions, I remain concerned about impaired driving and the fact that many people do not recognize that it pertains to operating a boat or any other motor vehicle such as all-terrain vehicles and sea-doos. I, therefore, continue to write about the many dangers of drinking and driving and the serious criminal charges that can be laid if bodily harm or death occurs and when blood alcohol content (BAC) levels are above .08. In Alberta, as well as a number of other provinces, BAC limits are set at .05 under Highway Traffic Acts with various sanctions. My concern grows as we approach the day when cannabis is legalized in this country. Despite the legislation passing and there being only a few short months until you can legally possess marijuana, police across this country remain worried about the effects of people driving high. Officers patrolling our waterways next summer will be on heightened alert for people operating boats and other water vehicles while high. Although, it is currently a crime to operate a boat if you are impaired by marijuana or any other drug, we completely expect, as do the police, that the occurrence will increase dramatically in the summer of 2019. As a result, police throughout this country have been requesting additional resources and new and improved roadside (and boat-side) devices to better detect and prove impairment, particularly, cannabis related impairment. On Oct. 17, the day marijuana will be legal in Canada, is fast approaching and I implore all levels of government to ensure police have what they need to keep us safe on the roads and on the water. As I started this column, I will end it, by thanking police officers from Camrose to Beaver County, Wainwright to Drumheller, Hanna to Stettler and the many communities in between. Your job is dangerous, your job is important and we thank you for your tremendous service and protection. I also thank former police chief and former mayor of Camrose and current Mayor of Chestermere, Marshall Chalmers, for his many years of hard work and dedication. I had a very fortunate encounter with Marshall the day I was boating on Buffalo Lake. He came to my rescue when the engine of the sea-doo I was riding failed. I luckily had a rope, another requisite safety boating item, which Marshall used to tow me in. 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 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

Letters to the Editor How long is a minute?
“Can I put you on hold for just a minute?” “Okay,” I said with less than enthusiasm. I found myself watching the clock as it ticked past one minute and then two... So how long is a minute anyway? ***
A while ago, I met with someone I hadn’t seen for years. We both had the luxury of a day without other appointments so we could chatter away as long as we wanted. We had lots to catch up on. We’d both experienced major changes in our external lives and our internal lives and we had things to say about events in the world too. When eventually we began to wind down our conversation, I wondered what time it was. I guessed we’d been talking for a couple of hours, maybe a bit more. Five hours had whizzed by! ***
Others have had even longer conversations that flew by. At a wedding reception, the father of the groom said, “We knew something was up when we saw the phone bill. There were long distance calls that lasted eight hours!” He paused and added, “My wife and I wondered what anybody could talk about for eight hours. We’ve been married for 38 years, and in 38 years we haven’t talked a total of eight hours!” ***
Time doesn’t always whiz past. I do an exercise that I dislike intensely, but I know it’s good for me. (“Good for me” is almost never a good enough reason, so I promised someone I would do it and that became a good enough reason). The only way I can make myself do the exercise is to set a timer for two minutes and keep doing it until the timer goes. My theory is that I can do anything for two minutes. Those two minutes last forever. The rise and fall of the Roman Empire happened faster. A glacial age could come and go in those two minutes. And of course, some of us have had moments when time stood still. ***
So how long is one minute? “Sixty seconds” may be technically accurate, but doesn’t at all reflect the experience of one minute. Early in the 1900s, Albert Einstein described the Theory of Relativity. Professor Einstein’s secretary was so harassed with inquiries about the meaning of “relativity” that the professor decided to help her out. He told her to answer these inquiries as follows: “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity.”
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. Asylum seekers
I wish to comment on several mis-statements made by Mr. Sorenson, MP in his column in the issue of July 31. Canada is not experiencing insecurity and chaos in the situation of people seeking asylum in our nation. Asylum seekers coming into Canada at other than regular entry points, e.g. air-
ports, are not illegal immigrants. They have violated no law. In many cases they have suffered severe hardships to make the trip to the Canadian border, e.g. frozen limbs causing loss of feet and hands. They are not queue jumping. They are entering the queue at a different point. Upon entering the queue they are subject to all the checks applied to all seeking entrance to Canada. There is no queue jumping. The number of persons entering by this means peaked sometime ago but has declined in recent months. Maybe Conservative spokespersons could check a few facts before yapping. People are using this difficult way to seek entry to our nation because our agreement with the United States that asylum seekers must apply to the first safe country so if they applied at a regular entry point, e.g. air-
port, coming from the U.S. they would be turned back. The U.S., under Trump is no longer a safe nation. Proof of this is daily shown on news broadcasts with children being separated from parents, maybe permanently, hardly a definition of “safe”! All persons seeking entry to Canada are carefully checked so immigrants are not security risks. My four grandparents were immigrants. I am not a security risk. To claim immigration is a danger is a Trump idea that we don’t need in Canada! Immigrants, by bringing new skills and ideas, bring strength to our nation. We are a welcoming nation and we don’t need fear and hatred to be provoked in an effort to gain a few votes. Ron Williams, Camrose

The students attended 12 events out of the Chamber office in Camrose, including three in Camrose County. “The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Centre would like to thank Ricardo Miranda, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, for funds provided through the Visitor Services Innovation Fund which enabled the Centre to provide on-site Visitor Services throughout the summer in the Camrose region,” said Chamber executive director Sharon
Anderson. “This allowed us to take our services into our community to provide information services to Alberta tourists with the tools they need to ensure they have a great experience in our province.” On-site services were provided during Jaywalkers Jamboree, at the Annual Ryley Sports Day Event, Aboriginal Days, Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, the Farmers Market, Canada Day, Arts in the Park, three days at Big Valley Jamboree, Farmers Market and the Animal Kingdom and Ice Cream Train Night held on Aug. 14.

How much can happen in one minute? Sometimes “nothing” is what happens (waiting on hold comes to mind). Other times, what happens in one minute changes everything. A vehicle crash or winning a lottery can happen in a minute and change a lifetime. On the Internet, a minute is long enough for hundreds of millions of transactions. A 2018 infographic from Lori Lewis and Chadd Callahan of Cumulus Media provided some statistics. In one 60-second interval, these transactions happened: Instagram scrolling–174,000, Netflix hours watched–266,000, apps downloaded–375,000, tweets sent–481,000, spent online–$862,823, Facebook–973,000 logins, snaps created–2.4 million, Google search queries–3.7 million, YouTube–4.3 million videos viewed, text messages–18 million, phone messages–38 million, emails sent–187 million. ***
Wish I’d known all that while I was waiting on hold. I might have found it less boring. It’s taken me more than a minute to grasp 187 million emails sent in 60 seconds. No wonder the inbox is never empty! How long is a minute? It’s all relative. So what was your longest minute? And your shortest? And when did time stand still? ***

TRANSIT PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR
Box stitch passion By Lori Larsen
For Camrose business owner and resident of the Ferintosh area, Corinne Freeman, a passion for crocheting not only resulted in the publishing of her own pattern book, but has provided an outlet for her creative energy. “I have been knitting and crocheting for a very long time,” said Corinne. “It started when I was about eight years old or so, watching my grandmother who knit all the time in that big scratchy wool.” Enthralled by her grandmother’s hand movements, Corinne went to her grandmother’s junk drawer and took out two pencils and an elastic. Sitting beside her grandmother she imitated the movements the best she could until her grandmother noticed and inquired as to whether or not Corinne wanted to learn to knit. Corinne laughed as she recalled her early attempts, joking that there were some severe quality issues back then. “I didn’t latch onto knitting the same way I did when my aunt taught me crocheting. I was around 12 when my aunt taught me a few pointers.” Corinne then picked up the rest on her own. She realized early that the stitch she was using, most familiar to her as the box stitch, now known as the CTC (corner-to-corner) stitch, could be used for so much more that just producing afghans or baby blankets. “I always enjoyed crafting and creating things. One day, my sister and I were driving back from visiting my father in Summerland, BC. I was crocheting the whole trip when I wasn’t driving, of course. I told my sister I needed to find myself a mannequin (to display items she created). I really wanted to make my own patterns and write a book.” Corinne was successful in finding a mannequin. Betsy, as she fondly refers to it, is still with her to this day and proudly displays the amazing products cre-
ated from one of Corinne’s very own patterns. “I began pitching my idea to publishers and got the normal handshake, nod and ‘don’t call us’ responses.” Like many authors, feeling the pangs of rejection, Corinne shelved the idea of a book, then after a few years, began sending it to publishers again. About four years ago, the idea was picked up by a publisher and the process of putting it all together began. With an advance from the publisher, Corinne hired her own photographer and model and word by word, picture by picture, created the now published (2017) Box Stitch Crochet: Use the Corner-to-Corner Stitch in New Ways to Make 20 Hats, Wraps, Scarves & Accessories book was published. The book is comprised of a compilation of unique patterns, created by Corinne, using the box stitch, (CTC) corner-to-corner stitch. As Corinne leafs through the book showing different patterns, she starts to reminisce. Like so many artists, she has personal stories about each creation. A dress that started out as a skirt is fashioned in colourful yarn and, in order to complete it as a dress, Corinne created a lace top and a trail of lace down the back slit. A bright pink hat with a side closing flap gave Corinne a little run for her money when she came to odds a bit with the editor on how the hat should be photographed. But one of her fondest creations is a butterfly shawl named in honour of her granddaughter. “In 2011, I was blessed when I became a grandmother,” she smiled. “I began a website in 2010 and called it For My Butterfly,” a nickname she bestowed upon her granddaughter. Corrine held up an intricately crocheted purple shawl that, by all accounts, resembles the wings of a butterfly.

BVJ keeps police busy
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Corrine Freeman shows the book she wrote on the art of the using the box stitch in crocheting.
From a policing perspective the 26th annual Big Valley Jamboree (BVJ) was a success. Given the volume of people attending this four day festival, the number of incidents involving criminal activity was low. This year, 25 people were arrested for a variety of offences as compared to 46 arrests in 2017. This total includes people who were arrested for violations of the Criminal Code, Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act as well as those arrested on outstanding warrants. There were a total of 18 Criminal Code charges laid in 2018 as compared to 32 in 2017.

Christian Academy continues to provide choice Submitted
Cornerstone Christian Academy (CCA), located in Kingman announced that on July 20, the school was granted permission to operate as an accredited private school in the province of Alberta and is now accepting fall registrations. Alan Welde, who was principal of Cornerstone for the last three years, will return as the school’s principal. Cornerstone’s chairperson, Deanna Margel, was enthusiastic and opti-
mistic when we spoke with her last week. “This is fantastic news for current CCA families, who have lived with tremendous uncertainty about their kids’ future education for more than a year. We are thrilled that the choice for Christian education remains available. Cornerstone Christian Academy is a great community to be involved with. We place high value on parent involvement, and children are taught the importance of both God and family.
That’s something that a lot of parents still want.” CCA parents choose Cornerstone because it provides an alternative educational environment which emphasizes community, commitment to Christ, and both social and individual responsibility. The school seeks to partner with parents so that students receive a consistent Christian message both at home and at school. Students, staff, and families at Cornerstone choose to live in obedience
to God’s word through the study and integration of the Bible into their daily lives. Cornerstone has been in continuous operation since 1986, when a small group of parents felt compelled to provide the option of non-denominational Christian education in the Camrose area. Initially, a handful of students met in a Camrose church basement, but the school quickly outgrew its humble beginnings. By 2017, the school served approx-
imately 180 students in Kingman, where land had been donated in 1993 to build a proper school facility. The school’s 100 or so families come from a wide geographic area, encompassing Tofield, Lindbrook, Ryley, Round Hill, Camrose, Miquelon Lake, Hay Lakes and Armena. The current school facility has 12 classrooms, a library, full size gymnasium, shower rooms, weight and fitness room, and a small kitchen. Continued on page 24

Benefit concert assists local family By Murray Green
Inclusion Alberta will be holding a benefit concert to assist the Lee-Ann Benke family in Camrose. For this housing initiative Inclusion Alberta has engaged architect Ron Wickman, to design an accessible home based on this family’s unique circumstances. “The benefit concert will be held at the Resurrection Lutheran Church (5601-Envold Drive) on Aug. 24 at 7 p.m.,” said Trudy Benke, on behalf of the family. The concert will feature the music of Potter’s Clay Quarter, Glorybound Ladies Trio and Ben Kellert. “This concert is to raise funds for Lee-Ann, a single mom and her three sons Merlin, James and Michael. All three boys have significant developmental disabilities and require continuous support and physical care to meet all of their daily needs,” explained Trudy.
Lee-Ann’s current home can no longer accommodate her sons’ growing needs and Lee-Ann’s needs as she has MS. “She can’t afford to buy or build the adapted home they require. Inclusion Alberta will build the home, but we need to raise money.” Donations of $20 or more will be given tax receipts if requested. About 17 years ago, LeeAnn had twin boys Merlin and James, both of whom have developmental challenges. Soon after the twins came along, she was diagnosed with MS. Three years later Michael was born, who has severe autism and a developmental disability. It is LeeAnn’s hope to have the boys live together as adults in their own home. She agreed to sell her home and have a basement suite in the new home that would house her three sons and the needed caregivers who would live upstairs.
“This way, all three boys can have security in a permanent dwelling with their mom close by. We as a family, want these boys to have a home with a secure future, leading lives of dignity and value.” Inclusion Alberta has covered the cost of the home design and the land has been donated by the Obrowsky Family Trust, Obcorp Holdings. The sale of her house, a new mortgage, $10,000 from the Edmonton Sunrise Rotary Club, funding from Inclusion Alberta and now a donation of the heating and ventilation system from Nordic, will leave Lee Ann with about a $125,000 shortfall. The concert and other community donations will be used to help reduce that shortfall. No tickets are required for the concert, a freewill offering will be held instead.
Lee-Ann, a single mom with MS, is hoping for new house to accommodate her and her three sons James, left, Merlin and Michael Hoyme, all of whom have developmental disabilities.
MIRACLE TREAT
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Owen Felgate of Camrose learned how to make Blizzards on Miracle Treat Day at Dairy Queen on Aug. 9 from employee Kris Ticao. He received support from the Stollery Children’s Hospital and was eager to help out. The net proceeds from every Blizzard treat sold at both Dairy Queen locations in Camrose will be donated to the Stollery Children’s Hospital. More than 2,000 Blizzards were sold in Camrose and about $8,000 was collected for the hospital. Below, Owen was excited to do the upside down test.

Doesn’t look a day over 100 By Lori Larsen
On Aug. 4, Ellen Oppen, resident of Seasons Camrose retirement community turned 105 years young. Ellen celebrated this amazing milestone on Aug. 1, surrounded by family and friends–80 in total. Donning her Sunday best, her hair spiffed up in her usual way and smiles as long as her years, Ellen shared moments and even more memories of a life well lived. She was born in Loverna, Saskatchewan in 1913 and came to Camrose in 1936, after acquiring a job at the Russel Bowe’s farm a couple miles east of Camrose. She met her future husband, William Oppen on a day she had been invited to a supper at William’s folks’ home. William (Bill) swooned Ellen in the usual way for couples back in 1936, by taking her to dances, shows, suppers and church. Eventually he won her over and the couple married in 1937 at Ellen’s parents’ farm just north of Bawlf. Ellen and Bill had one son, Eldon, who was raised on the homestead owned by Bill and his brother Emil. In 1952, Bill passed away and as many widow farm wives did and still do, Ellen took over the upkeep of the farm, with the assistance of hired hands, until Eldon was old enough to take over. “The pot of coffee was always on for visitors,” remarked Ellen’s daughterin-law Renea Oppen. “And Ellen always made huge holiday meals for her siblings and their families.” Ellen boasts three grandchildren and five great grandchildren who all live within close proximity. In addition to farming, Ellen enjoyed knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting, baking, gardening, canning and freezing garden produce and would join friends for a bout of catching up, laughing and cooking, during what they referred to as Lefse making days. Still the epitome of a lady, Ellen loves to go to out and get her hair coloured and permed. Renea recalls, “She said to me ‘I can’t have gray hair at my age.’ I believe she was 100 at the time!”

Warm weather eating By Lori Larsen
Barbecue, frozen treats and easy quick meals are all a part of summer eating but sometimes in our hurry to spend more time in the great outdoors and less time preparing meals we forget that staying healthy means eating smart. The summer heat can be especially hazardous on our food and increases the spoiling time much faster. For example if milk or dairy products are left out of refrigeration they can become a food-safety issue. When the temperature of your milk goes above 40°F (approximately 4°C) bacteria begins to grow and replicate. Bacteria that can not only spoil your milk, but cause serious illness. Vegetables and fruits should always fill at least half your plate and while starting up the stove in the summer heat may be unappealing, getting your share can mean munching on a variety of tasty raw vegetables and enjoying the sweet tastes of seasonal fruit. Once again storing your vegetables and fruits in cooler places will help to maintain their shelf life. Grilling is a seasonal favourite past time and nothing smells or tastes quite the same as barbecue. When choosing a protein such as meat, fish or tofu select leaner cuts and skinless poultry. To add the flavour that fat tends to give meats, use fat reduced marinades or homemade rubs and sauces. To reduce the amount of flare ups and the amount of carcinogenic by-products when grilling, clean your grill after every use, avoid using fatty oils and sauces
and try not to singe or burn your food. Hot weather increases thirst and the urge to reach for a cold refreshing beverage. Some healthy suggestions include cold ice water with lemon or lime (fresh is best) and calorie wise or light beverages. Alcohol is a diureticwhich means it promotes dehydration interfering with your body’s ability to regulate its own temperature. Alcohol can also dilate your blood vessels which, combined with warm weather, can make you susceptible to passing out. Nothing is more refreshing than a frozen dessert, especially when the temperatures rise. Reduced sugar treats such as real fruit popsicles or frozen yogurt are a quick and healthy way to lower your body temperature all the while enjoying a little treat. That is not to say enjoying an ice cream cone shouldn’t be part of your summer fun routine, just remember, all in moderation. Interesting tidbit, brain freeze occurs when cold temperatures touch a nerve responsible for facial sensation, leading to discomfort in the forehead or face. It is a great excuse for taking your time and enjoying those frozen treats a little longer. Summer doesn’t stick around for a long time in these parts so indulging in a few of your favourite treats is okay, as long as you remember, balance is the key.

Gina Shiels, Owner Hearing Sense
Hearing loss is a natural progression of aging, and is very common. Gina Shiels, owner of Hearing Sense, with over 20 years’ experience as a hearing aid practitioner, says, “One of the biggest myths regarding hearing loss is that it is something that happens to seniors. In reality, many people with hearing loss are in their thirties and forties. Noise levels have increased everywhere – from lawnmowers to hair blowers, to iPods to surround sound speakers – and that’s just in our homes. We also see numerous instances of hearing loss from those working in the agriculture and oilfield industries.” “Hearing aid technology has continually improved over the years. Many people are worried about others being able to see their hearing aids,” says Gina. “But modern designs are so small and hard to detect, you don’t notice them.” Hearing Sense prides itself on excellent customer service. Gina and her staff are experts at assessing clients’ needs and preferences. “Once a course of action has been decided upon, we will adjust and make changes until our clients are 100% satisfied,” notes Gina. “There is absolutely no reason to suffer from hearing loss.” If you or a loved one is dealing with hearing loss, call for a Duggan Mall, Camrose, 780.679.0900 consultation today.

Set sails for the Open Door Gala By Lori Larsen
Set sail to celebrate the Open Door doing great work for youth in need in Camrose and area for 20 years, at the Open Door Gala fundraiser to be held on Saturday, Sept. 29 at the Camrose Resort Casino. The gala will combine the sights of the seas at a formal event to raise money for the continual effort to offer support services and hope to youth (between 11 and 24) who find themselves in need. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with a champagne reception, followed by a sit down meal at 6:30 p.m. Then guests will be treated to the east coast
flavours of the Derina Harvey band, an Edmonton based Celtic rock group. “This year’s fall gala will celebrate the 20 years that Camrose Open Door Association has provided supports within Camrose and area,” said Open Door executive director Jessica Hutton. Last year’s event raised over $36,000 to support youth within Camrose and area communities. “Fundraising is a significant part of our ability to provide services to youth. Our gala provides a unique and fun way to support The Open Door.” Residents are encouraged to reserve their
table and discuss sponsorship early. The event will feature a live auction and the Buy a Bed initiative, which involves sponsoring a night at the shelter for the youth. “This year’s event is so exciting. Sponsorship can be a wonderful way for businesses or individuals to support The Open Door, our next generation of leaders.” Tickets are available at the Open Door located at Main Floor, 4825-51 Street. For more information on the Open Door or the Gala visit the web page at www.camroseopendoor.com/.
Fringe play has local connection By Murray Green
When the Sherard Musical Theatre Association takes the stage at the Edmonton Fringe Festival it will have a couple of local connections.

also show on Aug. 18, 21, 23 and 25 at 11 a.m. Pattie’s husband Brett is the director of the musical that will be on the sanctuary stage at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church (10037-84 Avenue in Edmonton). “The play is suitable for all ages. The plot is about a bunch of fairy tale characters that end up on a talk show and the host tries to get Cinderella and her step sisters to reconcile, along with Snow White and the evil queen,” explained Brett. “The queen shows up with the mirror and the mirror causes a lot of trouble.” Emily Rutledge, who lives half way between Camrose and Gwynne, was chosen to play Cinderella in the play that features several classic characters such as Snow White and Jiminy Cricket. “It has good entertaining songs and a good message about forgiveness, reconciliation and not letting the mirror rule your life,” added Brett. “It is a great commentary on life because a lot of us look at the mirror and don’t like what we see,” said Pattie. “In the show we get rid of the mirror and realize we are beautiful as we are and live in peace.” The musical features 16 characters with talented people from the
Edmonton area filling the roles. “Some of them are in MacEwan’s music program, some in the fine arts department at the university and we were happy with the number of very talented people that auditioned for parts,” said Pattie. Pattie received her start in the arts through the Churchmice Players, about 30 years ago. “They are still creating magic on stage and I love the local theatres. Theatre is something that you can go to and be entertained, moved or make you think, while having a good time.” The eight shows are all matinees because the theatre group wanted young children to come out and enjoy the show with their families. “Usually, we act in the plays, but this time we are the directors. The difference is like playing a sport versus watching your children play the sport,” said Brett. “We encourage community minded people to come out take part in the theatre shows,” added Pattie. The theatre company put on yearly shows, but this is the first time in about six or seven years that they have been lined up with the Edmonton Fringe Festival.

Second chance for local choir to sing By Murray Green
Members of the Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs are setting their sights on our Nation’s Capital on Canada Day next summer. Children’s Choir members will take part in a choral music festival called Unisong. This festival is designed to bring choirs from all across Canada together on our national holiday to celebrate the musical and cultural heritage of our nation. The event was cancelled in 2018, so the local singers are eager to go next summer. “The singers will work with an internationally recognized conductor, rehearsing and performing with up to 300 singers from all across Canada, perform in a minimum of three different venues in Ottawa that hold anywhere from 200 to 3,670 audience members,” said local conductor JoyAnne Murphy. “Given that our usual audience in Camrose is somewhere between 50 and 200 people, this is a very exciting prospect for us.” While in Ottawa, the singers will explore culture, history and music from several perspectives, and return to Camrose with greater knowledge and experience, much of which will be measured over the span of the rest of their lives. “Singers will return with musical memories and experiences that can impact their perception of what they are capable of achieving as aspiring choristers, soloists or even instrumentalists and of course as citizens,” explained Joy-Anne. “The cultural experience of being in our nation’s capital on and around Canada Day is not one that is replicated by anything else. Choir members will be exposed to multi-lingual conversations flowing around them, street performances of all kinds, formal

cultural and historic displays at National museums and galleries, and perhaps most importantly cultural exchange though interactions, rehearsals and performances with singers from across Canada.” A project of this scope requires fundraising, in order to provide the option of every choir member being able to afford to go along. “We are turning to the Camrose community for fundraising. Choir members have already been out and about, and will continue to be in neighbourhoods for events and individual fundraisers. We are also asking local businesses and service organizations to consider helping the choir in any capacity, whether through
donations of funds or supporting in other ways,” said Joy-Anne. “Although we were disappointed when we found out that last year’s event was cancelled, I’m really excited that we are well set for heading to the Unisong Choral Festival in Ottawa this year (Canada Day, 2019). We have a lot of funding in place already from our efforts last year, so this actually gives us a leg up in terms of both lead time to fundraise more, as well as potentially assisting singers who want to come with us but might have worried it would be too expensive,” added Joy-Anne.

Guest editorial
Where we began By Arnold Malone
Where you were born and raised worms a way in to the nature of your being. Here, there and everywhere people and places have different nuances. The location of your early years goes a long way in casting your sense of person. Those who were born and raised under the sweep of a prairie sky might enjoy a visit to the mountains but still feel a sense of relief when the last mountain range starts to shrink in the rear view mirror and one slides under the big open sky. The big sky is their freedom. You won’t skin your knuckles there during a morning yawn. One time while working in Jerusalem I stepped out during a meeting break and began a conversation with a man on the street. I asked him, where he was from. He responded, “I am from Haifa.” I asked, “When did you come to Jerusalem?” “It was my grandfather who came here,” he replied. “If it was your grandfather who came to Jerusalem why are you not from Jerusalem?” He said, “All of my big family is in Haifa.” I once spoke to a man working at Fort McMurray who was originally from Newfoundland. He had been in Alberta for near 40 years, married an Alberta lady, had children who had finished university, he had never returned to Newfoundland yet when he referred to “home” he wasn’t talking about the place where he would go to bed that night but rather, Newfoundland. Where you grew up is more than a place. Location is a part of you. The First Nations citizens of the Columbia Valley truly believe the adage, “The Mountains Will Bring Peace To The people.” And, so they should, it’s part of them. Once in Cork, Ireland I chatted with a man who claimed he was from Donegal even though he came to Cork when he was just five. He told me, “All me people are from Donegal so I can’t be from here.” I am here, but from away so I don’t belong. As a person who grew up on a mixed farm with varieties of animals in an area of never ending space looking over the beautiful Battle River Valley I struggled to imagine the life of a child growing up in a high-rise apartment. What do they do all day? Where do they run? How do they discover the world around them? Yet the city people who visited our farm frequently asked, “What do you do all day? There are no people around here.” Camrose and the surrounding villages have a sense of pride that one can feel. Homecomings are a testament to that reality. Where we once volunteered and help grow a community there is a connecting grasp. The taproot has holding power. Most of us have a place with a comfort zone. We are lucky if we can continue to live in that place where we feel like we are cradled in an environment where we belong. There are a rare few who live their lives without an incubation place. During my university years I had a class in which one of the students stood apart from many others. She walked with exacting purpose, spoke with determined clarity and drew unintended attention when she entered a room. One day she and I met at a sidewalk intersection. We chatted. I asked, “Where are you from?” She responded, “I am not from any place. My four years at this university will be the longest time in my life that I have lived in one location.” Her father had a high rank in the military and was forever being sent to new locations and countries to manage situations. For weeks following that conversation I tried to imagine a person with no place to call home. Yet she seemed worldly. Likely, she did have a home; it was earth. However, for most of us our place of initial orientation has a gripping force. It directs how we feel, think and function for the rest of our lives. Place matters. And, that is why people who leave here so frequently want to come home.
Caring for others, more than a job By Lori Larsen
Camrose is somewhat renowned for its excellent health services and for the attention paid to the growing needs of the senior population. But those things don’t just fall into place they are nudged into place by the right people. The Camrose Primary Care Network is fortunate to have a strong, working team headed by a bright, tenacious team leader, executive director Stacey Strilchuk. At the age of six Stacey’s family moved from St. Paul to Camrose where she attended Chester Ronning School. “I have a real soft spot for that school,” remarked Stacey, noting her then Grade 1 teacher Brenda Deringer (nee Manning) had her play the part of a moderator in the Christmas pageant. “I often joke that she was the first one to give me the public speaking buzz.” When Stacey was in Grade 7 her family moved to a farm just outside of Hay Lakes where she continued her schooling from Grades 8 to 11. “I loved the school size and the sense of community.” She expressed her fondness for the farm life and the importance of being such a tight knit family of four, mom, dad, Stacey and her brother who is eight years her junior. After gentle persuasion from Dr. Roy Fearon (previous Camrose dentist), Stacey applied for and was accepted to the Rotary Exchange program in her Grade 12 year. “I went to Sweden and for me that was my first exposure to travel and different cultures. That whole experience instilled the core value I have around treating everybody equally and with respect and trying not to judge–listen more and talk less.” Values that Stacey has carried with her into her adult life, reflect in her compassion for, not only the people she works with, but the people of Camrose and area who she is constantly striving for to improve health services. During her Rotary exchange, she experienced a Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm, the falling of the Berlin wall in 1990 and being private audience to Pope John Paul at the Vatican. “At the time I may not have understood the full depth of it all, but looking back now I realize just how significant it was and how impactful it is on the things I do now.” Stacey still considers her Swedish host family an integral part of her life. After returning to complete Grade 12 at Augus-
Submitted Stacey is seen here during a recent trip to the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center in Denver. Her commitment to care extends in every direction of life.
tana, Stacey attended a youth forum in Ottawa, which was the pivotal point for her successful career in politics. With a degree in history and political science and another degree in career development and leadership she first began in program development then moved into a more political position with high level bureaucrats. “There were very few female leaders in those type of roles and the ones there had a lot of scars from moving up the ladder in a male oriented world.” Stacey learned from others with a goal to change the persona of female leaders. “I want to try to be a female leader that doesn’t have to be a bully or have sense of armor around me.” She spent almost 12 years in government then once again flexed her wings and moved over to Capital Health Region Edmonton. “It was a totally different role in physician recruitment.” Stacey described occasions in her own life that influenced her to go into the health field and ultimately use her passion to learn and help others. “I found my uncle who had passed away in his own home, he was 46. That really started me on the path of thinking about preventative medicine, all the things he could have done that may have prevented him from having a heart attack.” Ten years ago she was headhunted for the position of executive director of the Primary Care Network for Camrose and area. “I thought maybe someone was telling me it was time to come home and give something back.” Combined with her knowledge and experience, Stacey’s warm and welcoming manner has contrib-
uted tremendously to the team at the PCN. While she takes very little credit personally for the incredible work the team does in ensuring top notch, innovative health services for the community, her dedication is obvious by the work she does outside of regular office hours helping to create and maintain programs such as NavCare, Open Door Integrated Youth Hub, Grief and Bereavement Support and Palliative and End of Life Care. “The second health piece that steered me in the Hospice palliative direction happened three years ago when my aunt passed in palliative unit at the General. I give them kudos but I felt she deserved a better death. “All of this is not about me, it is about the patient team and doing business differently. And they do fantastic work.” Stacey has also gained a great deal in her life through volunteering with Special Olympics as a baseball coach for four years now. “I learn so much from the players. They are just so happy. They don’t label or judge they are there to play baseball for the love of the game. How can that not make you happy. It is just infectious. “You have to go in with an open mind and open heart to really and truly receive the gifts that are around you.” Stacey admits she was taught well by her parents to give back and feels grateful to have such amazing support from her family. In her spare time, Stacey and husband Dan, enjoy spending quality time doing what means the most to them both individually and as a couple, which often includes their amazing fur companion Bodhi.

Local athletes earn five medals By Murray Green
Athletes from Special Olympics Alberta earned 119 medals at the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games. Alberta athletes took home 43 gold, 47 silver and 29 bronze medals at the Summer Games in Antigonish, Nova Scotia from July 31 to Aug. 5. Camrose athletes Marianne Collinge and Douglas Bailey did their part by earning five medals in swimming. Marianne liked all of the colours, so she collected a gold in the 50m backstroke, a silver in the 25m backstroke and a bronze in the 25m freestyle event. Douglas collected two silver medals in the 25m backstroke and 50m backstroke events. More than 1,000 athletes and 300 coaches competed in nine summer sports (athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball and swimming). Team Alberta consisted of 101 athletes and 43 coaches and mission staff from 27 different communities. “Team Alberta this year was a remarkable group of athletes,” said team manager Riley McCaig. “From motivating athletes from other provinces to try their best to sharing moments of comradery–it was a truly special event.” The athletes had a busy week, but they were able to dive into the East Coast lifestyle. The team took a trip to Crystal Cliffs where they got to dip their toes into the Atlantic Ocean and enjoy a mussel bake. “It is always incredible to witness our athletes compete to the best of their ability and performing on the national stage allows them to showcase their abilities,” said Team Alberta chef de mission Jill Moore.

Roadside scam Submitted
Camrose RCMP would like to warn citizens of suspicious vehicle complaints in the area. A male and female stopped on the side of the highway will flag people down asking for a ride or requesting money for fuel. They have offered to sell jewelry in exchange. After one of the complainants declined and offered to call police for them, the couple returned to their vehicle and drove away. The reported incidents occurred along Highway 21 near New Norway and south on Highway 56 near the bridge construction. The suspect vehicles were described as being a blue Chrysler car and a newer white car. Individuals with similar vehicles have been reported attempting to sell jewelry in parking lots in the area. Police are advising citizens to be aware of the scam.

Prior to 2009, Cornerstone operated as an accredited private school, with partial government funding. Between 2009 and 2018, CCA functioned as an “alternative program” within the Battle River public school division with full government funding. The relationship between the two organizations was positive and mutually beneficial for the majority of its partnership. In June 2017, however, the public board chose to terminate the contract between the two organizations and began the one year school closure process. The CCA board had been working hard to ensure that the closure of Cornerstone would not be the end of the story. An application to return to operation as an accredited private school with partial funding had been filed with Alberta Education in March. After countless hours of prayer, hard work and “process”, the Cornerstone Christian Academy board was notified that their application was approved. Cornerstone will continue to offer an ECS through Grade 12 Christian program of studies that follows the Alberta curriculum. Classes start this fall, and the school is currently taking registrations. You can visit their website at cornerstonekingman.ca for more information.

First reading approved on regulating sale of recreational cannabis By Lori Larsen
City of Camrose council unanimously gave first reading to the amended Land Use Bylaw 2929-17 that will ensure the legal sale of recreational cannabis will be regulated with due regard for public safety and the views of the City of Camrose stakeholder. Approval by council supported a 200 metre buffer from any cannabis retail store to schools or provincial health care facilities and include a proximity distance for the Camrose Public Library. Council is open to reducing the buffer distance or making other changes to the proposed regulations depending on the feedback received through the formal advertising and public hearing process. Parks and Recreation Facilities are not currently assigned proximity distances, as the Camrose Smoke Free Bylaw prohibits the consumption of tobacco and /or cannabis on any lands utilized as park space. Prior to the approval of first reading Jeb Carroll, franchisee owner of the Spiritleaf Retail spoke to council about cannabis retail stores in Camrose. “I am a resident of Camrose and I am trying to apply for a business licence in Camrose. I started a company here in November of last year with a franchise Calgary based company called Spiritleaf. I have a lease agreement at 6018-48 Avenue Camrose (Boston Pizza strip mall Grand Park Plaza) and I am concerned that the 200 m (buffer) recommendation will disallow my location.” Carroll informed council that the 200m buffer from schools in the amended bylaw states the 200m is from property line to property line which in the case of his proposed location means the corner of the strip mall parking lot to the corner of the grass field of the Camrose Composite High School. “When I considered this location it
Aaron Leckie holds up the 200 metre buffer zone map.
was important to stay away from schools and I actually measured door to door and it was approximately 550m, so I felt it was a good idea to continue on with my location.” Carroll suggested that the City consider some leniency with regards to the 200m buffer zone around schools. He also spoke about City of Camrose and Camrose County citizens who are interested in starting retail locations and the importance and contributions of local businesses opening within the community as opposed to larger international firms. With regards to the timing of the issuance of development permits (upon approval), Carroll requested the City consider doing so prior to the legalization date of Oct. 17. “This gives business owners, such as myself, time to start planning and developing and make decisions ahead of time in order to be able to open this year.” AGLC will only approve a total of 250 cannabis retail licenses for 2018. The city has to provide a letter of approval or proof of a business licence before AGLC will release the licence. “I have been through all the AGLC checklists up to date for the past month now and now I am just waiting for the City on this.”
Councillor PJ Stasko inquired as to whether or not a 150m buffer zone would be sufficient for Carroll’s proposed business. Carroll said he believed the 150m buffer zone would be okay for this location. City of Camrose Planning and Development director Aaron Leckie was able to confirm after the meeting that a 150m buffer would be suitable for the proposed cannabis retail location which was determined to be 153m away from Camrose Composite High School. Councillor David Ofrim inquired as to the anticipated time for the City to be able to issue permits. Leckie responded. “We expect that the latest possible date that we will be able to accept development permit applications will be the day Sept. 18, the day following the second September council meeting which would be approximately one month before the legalization date of recreational cannabis.” Public input
In an effort to seek public input the City held two open house public consultations, one on June 12 with approximately 15 attendees and one on June 19 with approximately 20 attendees and conducted a six question survey. Four questions on the survey related to the LUB regula-
tion. The survey garnered 500 responses. The following are the four questions and general responses. The maximum hours within which a Cannabis Retail Store may operate are from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Are these hours acceptable in Camrose? There were 308 “yes” responses and 164 “no” responses. “Provincial legislation does limit those hours from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m.,” said City of Camrose senior development officer Colin McPhee. What is an appropriate setback distance from schools and Provincial Health Facilities? Responses indicated 172 for 200m setback, 50 for a 150m setback and 114 for a 100m setback. Should there be a setback distance from the Camrose Public Library. Of the responses 260 indicated “no” and 199 indicated “yes”. “There are a lot of children coming in and out of the library. The goal of the buffer is to try to prevent normalizing cannabis use for children,” said McPhee. The City of Camrose draft regulations of cannabis retail stores will restrict them to commercial and industrial land use districts (zones) only do you agree? Responses indicated 389 said “yes” and 63 said “no”. “We in planning and development have worked very closely with our associates and colleagues at Camrose Police Service (CPS) and Alberta Health Services (AHS),” noted McPhee. Leckie indicated there is a revolving list on AGLC that tells when applications for cannabis retail licences have been filed. “In Camrose we have approximately eight applications for cannabis retail locations with 250 licences granted in the first year by the province. Based on a per capita basis, if that is how the province decides to issue them, we probably won’t see more than two or
three, but that is not to say we wont see more in the second round of licencing.” Leckie stated the process going forward will involve advertising for the public hearing after first reading has been approved with a goal after third reading to begin accepting applications the next day. The City will go by the application date on which the licence was submitted to the province. Whoever has that application first will be served first then down the list. “After accepting applications we will go through our regular circulation referral and development permit review and approval process, we expect that will likely take seven to 10 business days, depending on the information submitted, so businesses will have their applications approved before the Oct. 17 of legalization date.” Councillor Wayne Throndson inquired as to what information lead administration to go with a 200m buffer zone. McPhee replied the information the City received from CPS and AHS and observation of precautionary principles played a large part in that decision as well as comparisons to what other municipalities are doing. Leckie added. “It is a mix of what works best for the citizens of Camrose as well as the business community.” Councillor Ma x Lindstrand inquired as to whether someone applying for a licence through the province are required to have an approved location in the community as part of their application. Leckie said they would be required to include a physical location however that application could be amended with a new (approvable) location within that community. Councillor PJ Stasko commented. “This is legalized substance in Canada so I think we need to support our retail partners in Camrose.”
Water levels in Battle River have city primed for action By Lori Larsen
The dry, hot weather Camrose and area has been experiencing has caused very low flow in the Battle River, according to City of Camrose engineering services director Jeremy Enerson, and subsequently the City is keeping a closer eye on Driedmeat Lake levels. “Over the past few weeks, the city has noticed a significant drop in the number of days of available storage within Driedmeat Lake,” noted Enarson. “While the situation has not yet reached the level where the City would implement Stage 2 of the Water Short-
age Response Plan (WRSP), the first stage where mandatory restrictions are imposed, administration has increased its monitoring of the lake level and river flows. A move to Stage 2 of the plan may be necessary soon, meaning that the City may be imposing mandatory water restrictions within the community.” Enarson indicated that unless there is a substantial change in the climate subsequently increasing the flow in the Battle River, the City is advising residents to consider volunteer water conservation and wise water usage.
Councillor Wayne Throndson commented on two things. “Should we (City) consider going to water restrictions all year around, and should we consider staggered water rates. Those who want to water their lawns will pay.” Enarson replied. “What we do have right now in stage one is voluntary water conservation efforts. As things became more critical we will move into mandatory water restrictions. The current bylaw has restrictions on outdoor watering at certain hours of the day. This restricts people from watering dur-
ing the middle of the day when there typically is a lot evaporation.” As for Throndson’s inquiry into the consideration of staggered water rates, Enarson responded by relating the example used by the City with Cargill, in that, as Cargill uses more water their rates increase. The City doesn’t currently have staggered water rates for remaining customers, although this may be something that the City would look at doing in the future. Mayor Norm Mayer inquired as to what the City itself is doing to conserve.
Enarson explained that the City parks and roads departments often use non-potable water left over from backwashing the filters at the City’s Water Treatment Plant. Enarson noted that the parks department typically implements some of the Stage 2 restrictions (watering during designated hours) even while the City is still in Stage 1, in an effort to conserve water.

AHS presents information to council on affects of cannabis By Lori Larsen
In a presentation to City of Camrose council, Alberta Health Services Zone medical officer of health, Dr. Ifeoma Achebe explained the legalization of cannabis in Alberta in regards to Alberta Health Services (AHS). AHS program consultant for the addiction prevention unit, Michelle Fry, and AHS tobacco reduction services specialist, Gail Foreman, also attended the presentation. Dr. Achebe explained the priorities of Alberta Health Services are to minimize harm, protect health and safety of Albertans, prevent likelihood of use and problematic use, assess population health outcomes, address determinants of health and health equity and provide services. “Municipal responsibilities will include education, taxation, retail location and rules, public consumption and land use zoning.” Assistance to municipalities from AHS included packages sent to mayor and senior officials in February to assist them in creating cannabis policy decisions that will promote and protect the health of all citizens. As well, provide evidence-informed public health approaches and recommendations to assist local leaders enact regulations that consider the potential health implications and unintended consequences on communities. In speaking of the potential health effects of cannabis, Achebe included the following. “The brain development is not completed until the mid 20s. Evidence suggests use prior to age 25 can cause adverse effects to the brain and can increase risks for long-term cognitive impairments.” Other potential health effects Achebe spoke about were damage to lungs, dependency, negative affect on performance, affect on memory, learning and attention, judgement and decision making and impaired driving concerns. “Canada has one of the highest rates of cannabis use in the world,” said Achebe, “And for Alberta, 48 per cent of Albertans have used once in their lifetime with 92 per cent initiated between the ages 10 to 24 years old.” Information provided to council regarding retail
sales of cannabis suggested limiting the number of cannabis stores with density and distance controls and buffer zones around welldefined areas where children and youth frequent, as well as limiting hours of operation, no co-locating with alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceuticals, cannabis education and community engagement and restricting signage and advertising to a minimum. In conclusion, Achebe indicated the research regarding the extent of risks and harms or benefits are unclear and there is not a lot of research available. Council asks
Councillor Agnes Hoveland expressed concern over the lack of research regarding cannabis prior to legalization. “For other drugs that have gone on the market, there is extensive research done on them before they are released. It seems troubling why there is no research done on it when it has been out there in use for so long.” In response to this inquiry, Achebe indicated that there is a little research done but the evidence is weak and that is in part because cannabis was not legalized and now that it is, there is a hope that more research will be funded. Hoveland also inquired as to why AHS agreed to the age of 18 for legalization as opposed to 25. Achebe replied, “The age was set by the feds (Federal Government), but as a physician, I preferred it to be 25. The main reason for it to be 18 is so it is in sync with tobacco and alcohol. That is why we are raising awareness.” Hoveland’s final inquiry was whether there would be funding made available for municipalities to address education, prevention and intervention. “Has there been any discussion at AHS level, along with the provincial level, as to what kind of funding would come along with these regulations and support for municipalities?” Fry indicated as far as she was aware, funding was in discussion right now and that formal granting has not been announced or discussed at this point. “Education is something that AHS has always been involved with, but as
municipal bylaws come out, there will still be a requirement for municipalities to educate in regards to the bylaw and regulations.” Councillor Wayne Throndson noted that the age was actually set by the province and not the federal level. “It was up to the province to set the age and they could have set the age at 24. I am curious as to what the position of AHS was to lobby the provincial government to set the age higher than 18 and if so, were your recommendations ignored by the province? I see the biggest potential risk is creating potential generations with brain damage. I don’t know how you rationalize that as an agent of public health.” Fry responded by saying that would be a good question for the Canadian Secretariat and that as far as she knew, the reasoning for the age being set at 18 stemmed around enforcement and sales of other substances such as alcohol and tobacco. “AHS, at the time, provided a list of pros and cons with each age under consideration.” Dr. Achebe added, “At the end of the day, the decision wasn’t ours and that is why we are doing this (presentations). People need to be aware of the risk.” Councillor Ma x Lindstrand shared the same concerns as councillor Hoveland, that more research hasn’t been done. “This is not a new issue.” He also inquired as to what AHS would consider as one of the benefits of legalization of cannabis. Achebe spoke about the possible benefits. “Legalizing will make it more regulated and take away the issue of illegal trafficking, sales and use which will minimize harm and hopefully it will bring down driving under the influence.” Councillor Cathie Johnson commented, “If I am correct, all the research (on cannabis) is may/can (have an effect). I feel there is a lot of fear behind this legalization. With more information coming out, will there be some positive promotion?” Fry indicated that Alberta Health Services will take a very balanced approach. “This is our (AHS) opportunity to take a more protective approach (regarding policy) in the beginning and relax it further down the road.”

Post-war Chevrolet turns heads at car shows By Murray Green
Ken Andres has never met an old car he hasn’t liked. He recently finished a 1947 Chevrolet Stylemaster business coupe. The Series DJ Stylemaster was introduced as the base trim level model in the 1946 Chevrolet range, along with the top level Series DK Chevrolet Fleetmaster. The Series DK Fleetmaster was introduced as the top trim level model in the 1946 Chevrolet range, along with the lower level Series DJ Chevrolet Stylemaster. Vehicles were not produced for four years during the Second World War. When the cars were produced again, they often copied the 1942 models and were improved first in 1947 or 1948. “I completely re-did the body, changed the drive line with a 700 transmission, a Camaro rear end and painted it. I did the upholstery myself and now she is ready to go,” said Ken Andres, after just completing the re-build earlier this summer. It was offered in twodoor town sedan, fourdoor sport sedan, twodoor business coupe and two-door five-passenger coupe models, the business coupe differing from the five-Passenger Coupe in having a front seat only. “I bought this car at a farm sale. My son picked it up about 22 years ago and it sat in our yard all this time. It was so rusty with no floors and the entire bottom was rusted out of it,” shared Ken. “I replaced every panel with new ones. It was a long time project since we bought it.” He installed custom bumpers that no one else owns. “People said the bumpers turned out amazing. You have to heat them to 600 degrees for four hours to get that same effect. They have to be in a giant oven, which I built 10 feet high to hang them, and the

heat has to remain constant. If you don’t, they turn white, instead of the darker colour,” Ken explained. The 1947 Series 1500 EJ Stylemaster was little changed from its predecessor, the most notable visual difference being a new radiator grille with a more horizontal theme. “I just like fixing old cars and this one was sitting there and I didn’t want to squash it. I had to fix it and it turned out well. It is a unique car although there are a few around. Not very many business coupes though.” The Stylemaster, which was essentially an updated 1942 Chevrolet Master Deluxe was powered by a 216.5 cu in (3.5 L) straight-six engine driving through a three speed manual transmission when it was new.
About 27,403 business coupes were produced. Grille and beltline moldings were further changed for 1947, by which time the Fleetline Aerosedan was once again Chevy’s volume leader, taking over from the 1946 Stylemaster Sport Sedan. Canadian models were produced in Oshawa, Ontario. The 1948 Series 1500 FJ Stylemaster was again little changed from the previous year. There were no significant body alterations, however the radiator grille featured a vertical centre bar. A club coupe was now offered replacing the five-passenger coupe of 1947. Ken pulled out the old straight six motor and installed a 350 V8 to make the automobile more drivable on a regular basis.
Ken will be entering some of his vehicles in the upcoming sixth annual
Round Hill Harvest Show and Shine on Sunday, Sept. 2.

Camrose Police Service kept busy at Big Valley Jamboree During the Big Valley Jamboree police charged nine people with 18 criminal code offences. One person was charged with impaired driving, three people were charged for assaults against police officers, one person was
charged with assault, one male was charged with sexual assault, one person was charged for possessing a prohibited weapon (brass knuckles), one male was charged with assault with a weapon and one man
for breaching his release conditions. This year there were 14 individuals arrested for public intoxication under the Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act. This number is down from 25 in 2017.
Of the 14 people arrested, 11 were arrested by police because they simply were lost and could not find their way back to their campsites. These people were not charged but held in custody and released when they were
sober enough to safely find their way home. The other three were those who clearly stood apart from other patrons by either causing a disturbance or other issues with patrons or staff.

Incredible community response By Lori Larsen
Camrose and area residents stepped up to the plate in a big way, in support of the Bottles for Beckett fundraising initiative spearheaded by Camrose Booster staff members. To date the Universal Bottle Depot (Camrose) has tallied $4,531 from recycle containers brought into the depot and given to the cause and the one ton truck load collected at MR. MIKES Steakhouse Casual on July 28. “We still have to process the horse
trailer that was also at MR. MIKES then taken to Round Hill,” said Universal Bottle Depot owner/manager Grace Torpe. “We still have a sheet open for the Bottles for Beckett drive because people continue to bring their bottles in to be donated for the fundraiser.” The response has been astounding– people understanding the true gift of giving what they can and helping out those in need right in their own back yards. The spirit of rural Alberta has truly shone through.

Peewee Cougars earn silver at provincials By Murray Green
The Camrose Cougars peewee doubleA baseball team captured silver medals at Tier 3 provincials in St. Albert on Aug. 3 to 5. Camrose lost the opening two games of provincials before getting on track. “When we were facing desperation, that is when the team pulled together and played really well,” said manager Mike Rodin. “ The last week of the season determined if we were in Tier 2 or 3. We played Beaumont in the last game of the regular season on the Sunday prior before provincials. We ended up losing and went to a five-team provincials.” The Cougars lost 15-8 to Red Deer in the championship, but the game was back and forth for most of the contest. “We were up 8-5 after fourth, but you could see they were getting tired.” The Cougars started with losses 20-15 to Clive Red Sox and 13-8 to Red Deer Braves. Then the rain came and washed out the Saturday evening contest. That’s when the weekend turned in favour of the Camrose squad.
“We had a choice of possibly playing three games on Sunday, or moving a game to Monday. We decided to play early Sunday and being down 0-2 we told the boys let’s win the last two, give us a shot and see what happens,” explained Mike. Then the team rallied with an 11-2 victory over Edmonton Padres and a 7-6 win to get past the host St. Albert squad. Red Deer was the top team after the round robin portion of the tournament. However, the Camrose win provided a three way tie for second place. “ The f irst two tiebreaking rules didn’t solve anything, so we went to the third formula.” Camrose advanced to the gold medal game coming out on top of the three-way tie breaking formula by the slimmest of margins. “We won it by one-100th of a point,” laughed Mike. “ We st a r t e d t he season w ith 11 player s.

tional counterfeit $20 bills. A 27-year-old female from Edmonton received a total of nine charges. A 33-yearold male, also from Edmonton, was charged.

Bullying is acting in ways that scare or harm another person. Bullying can be a one-time event, but more often occurs over time. Bullying usually starts in elementary school, becomes most common in middle school and is less common by high school. Bullying can take many forms, including physical harm, such as hitting, shoving, or tripping. Emotional harm, such as making fun of the way a person acts, looks, or talks is another form. Writing mean things about someone in emails or online journals (blogs) is also considered bullying. Girls who bully are more likely to do so in emotional ways. Boys who bully often do so in both physical and emotional ways. A girl may form a group and exclude another girl or gossip about her. A boy may shove another boy and call him names. Both boys and girls take part in cyberbullying. This means using high-tech devices to spread rumours or to send hurtful messages or pictures. The damaging effects of emotional bullying is real. If you think your child is being bullied or is bullying someone else take action to stop the abuse. Bullying is a serious problem for all children involved. Children who are bullied are more likely to feel bad about themselves and be depressed. They may fear or lose interest in going to school and withdraw from other social activities. Children who bully others are more likely to drop out of school, have drug and alcohol problems, and break the law. Children are often scared and angry when they are bullied. They may not know what to do. Teach them to respond assertively. Say, “Leave me alone,” or “You don’t scare me.” Have your child practice saying this in a calm, strong voice. Walk away. Don’t run, even if you are afraid. Tell an adult. A parent, teacher or coach can then take steps to stop the bullying. Bullying can be prevented if people pay attention and take action. If bullying is happening at your child’s school, talk to the principal or viceprincipal. Urge the school to adopt a no-bullying policy. All children should know that those who bully will be disciplined. Children who are bullied should be supported and protected. As a parent, you can help your child get involved in new hobbies or groups, such as school clubs or church youth groups.

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 colour 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.

Mobile community in Camrose By Lori Larsen
As the baby boomer generation reaches retirement, thoughts begin to cross their minds with regards to the lifestyle they want to live. With the nest empty and the routine of meeting with work colleagues fading away, many retirees are investigating a life of travel, and one of the preferred ways to do so is by hitting the road with a recreational vehicle (RV). In the early summer, approximately 18 RV units pulled into the Camrose Exhibition Trail RV Park and set up camp or, more appropriately community as part of the Heartland Owners Club, Alberta/BC chapter. Launched in 2008, the Heartland Owners Club’s current membership consists of 2,595 families in North America and Australia, including three active Canadian chapters in Alberta (35 members), Saskatchewan (eight members) and Ontario (73 members) that travel around in their RVs meeting for rallies and enjoying the company of the travelling community. The Heartland Owners Club is free for members and has chapter, regional and national rallies to bring Heartland owners together. Members of the Alberta/BC chapters get together for what is referred to as Chapter Rallies at different locations and Camrose was their most recent Chapter Rally location of choice. “Most of our rallies used to be down in Mossleigh area,” said Chapter leader Richard Cherry. “This past year, we started thinking we were not getting a lot of people from Edmonton north area. So we decided to hold rallies a little further north of Calgary–more central Alberta–to try and draw these people.” On the suggestion of Lynn and Doug Ollis, chapter members and previous leaders, the group decided on Camrose to host this year and likely upcoming rallies. “Doug and Lynn had stayed at the RV park here in Camrose and said it was a great venue. We spoke with Evelyn Fisher (Camrose Exhibition Trail RV Park manager) and asked her if she could handle us. Instead of going back to Mossleigh area, we would like this to be our base now. It’s a great campground and has everything we need to host even bigger rallies, possibly even a regional one.” Continued on page 38

Mobile community in Camrose Continued from page 37
Cherry said Fisher went out of her way to obtain a packet from Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and Camrose Tourism, for each coach (family) in the Heartland group, that contained lots of information about Camrose and surrounding area. “We couldn’t have asked for any better help as far as the campground goes,” said Cherry. While staying in Camrose, the group toured Elk Island, Ukrainian Village and Reynolds Alberta Museum. Some of the members took in a Camrose quilt show, shopped in Downtown Camrose and tried their luck at the Camrose Resort Casino. “We have our supper tomorrow night at the Norsemen Inn and they
have been great at accommodating us in one of their banquet rooms. “We have had nothing but good things to say about Camrose.” Visiting the chapter members during their week-long visit in Camrose was director of owners interests Heartland RVs, and president of Heartland Owners Club, Jim Beletti from Indiana, US. “When the Heartland Owners Club rolls into a community to have their rally, there is positive economic impact within the community and surrounding area,” remarked Bellina. The Heartland Owners Club also give back to the communities through the Heartland Gives Back initiative. This includes such initiatives as cleaning
animal shelters, collecting goods/donations for animal shelters, food banks or donating items such as knitted blankets, made by Chapter members while travelling on the road. “More people are turning to RVing as a social recreation,” said Belletti. “And even more people are going to full-time living due to the fact that a lot of jobs are remote, mobile and portable.” For Heartland Owners Club members such as Rick and wife Arlene, RVing is a lifestyle where they are not only afforded an opportunity to be part of a vastly growing mobile community, but they also get to experience exciting new places such as Camrose.
Submitted Members of the Heartland Owners Club rolled into Camrose Exhibition Trail RV Park for one of their annual rallies. While staying in the area they took advantage of some of the many local attractions.

Small carbon tax levy helps Albertans By Bruce Hinkley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose
MLA
So my carbon levy for July was $10.75 (one truck, car, lawn mower, heating), less than the cost of so many things; yet, people will still say the carbon levy is killing business and the economy–strong opinions but extremely weak on evidence. Alberta’s economy continues to grow, for example, May stats show the highest retail sales ‘ever’ for Alberta in any May…’ever’. British Columbia has had it for eight years and is still one of the leading economic centres of Canada; and they have compiled the research to show emissions do drop. Carbon pricing is working. If the Opposition has their way to cancel the carbon levy just who will they hurt? You, plus the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of Alberta families and cause the loss in billions in private investment in renewable energy, in clean technology, in bioenergy, and energy efficiency. Axing all the jobs of the future and giving pink slips to thousands of electricians, power engineers and construction workers is not the answer. You will be affected. It will bring back bigger power bill spikes and unaffordable electricity. Polluters should pay, you do not need dirtier air, land or water. Thanks to our price on carbon, we are diversifying Alberta’s economy, creating thousands of new jobs and helping our environment by reducing emissions and pollution. Cancelling the carbon levy would end the Small Business Tax Reduction program, low-income earner rebates, the Coal Workforce Transition Fund, transit funding, Coal Phase-Out Agreements, Indigenous green energy programs, energy efficiency programming for agriculture, seniors and housing; cost containment funding for industry, infrastructure; funding for Community Resilience Programs and irrigation rehabilitation programs; plus all the innovation research being supported to make life better for Albertans. Cancelling carbon pricing would erase the Alberta market for carbon offsets and credits. Currently held offsets and credits have a value in the 10s of millions. These assets held by private citizens would have no value. Not one large oil and gas company is campaigning to reduce, let alone end, carbon pricing. Why is the Opposition against the oil and gas industry? And my best reason for the carbon levy still is: if you pollute you pay. Either you become more fuel efficient or you contribute to the impact humans have on our environment. Never mind that the Conservatives have had carbon pricing in Alberta since Premier Stelmach (Specified Gas Emitters Regulation). They just hid it from you and they have no plans to ditch it. Plus Manitoba’s Conservatives plan to implement a similar carbon pricing program and are not challenging the federal carbon levy, soon coming to the rest of Canada. According to Statistics Canada in 2016, for the first time since 1991, the number of people under 35 taking up farming increased. I say this is because farming is safer (thanks “Farm Enhancement Act”) and profitable. Alberta farmers, over the last couple of years, are seeing an increase in cash receipts and profitability. Government support for farming–carbon levy exemption for farm machinery (coloured gas 13 cents per litre) is keeping costs down; and our continued support for supply management is stabilizing food costs for all consumers and giving farmers predictable profits. Now is a good time to be a farmer in Alberta! In our effort to make life better for Albertans and our constituents we have accepted applications from Bittern Lake for the playground upgrade, Camrose Regional Exhibition for “Growing Rural Tourism”, and the County of Wetaskiwin (Alder Flats Wastewater line construction, Buck Lake road paving, Winfield road paving, a garbage truck, Mulhurst Bay road paving, Rose Creek road paving and computer software for the office). The County of Ponoka is also receiving funding for road reconstruction. Rural Alberta continues to benefit from our New Democrat government improvement grants. It should be noted the Opposition voted against this in March of this year. At the same time they voted against additional funding for fighting rural crime. I am still amazed at that decision. Finally, I would like to remind everyone to check that you are on the provincial voters list. You can “Register to Vote” by going online at www.elections.ab.ca. Hope to catch you at any of my “Meet and Greets” at Ferintosh (Aug. 15, 2 p.m.), or Millet (Aug. 16 at 3:30 p.m. at Sweetie Pies for coffee and pastry) or at the Millet Harvest Fair parade on Saturday, Aug. 25.
