OCTOBER 7 THROUGH 13 Fire safety is not to be taken for granted. Each week in Canada an average of eight people perish in fires. 73% of these deaths occur in residential fires. Fire can happen anywhere and affect anyone. LOOK for places fire can start. LISTEN for the sound of the smoke alarm. LEARN two ways out of each home. This is the part of the very important message that you will hear from Camrose Fire Department during Fire Prevention Week. For much more information on how you can minimize the risk and damage of fire, see pages 22 to 27 of this issue.

A Thanksgiving challenge, are you in?
On the way to Thanksgiving weekend, you may, like me, have “What am I thankful for?” thoughts flitting around in your mind. If so, you may have noticed something else: sometimes it’s easier to think about things we are not thankful for–our complaints–than it is to think of things for which we are grateful. That’s taken me to a challenge to myself and to you if you’re interested. ***
Whoever thought of the idea of a day set aside for the purpose of expressing our thankfulness, our gratitude, was brilliant. Most spiritual traditions have “gratitude” as one of the guiding principles. Famous people who practiced gratitude include Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Leonardo da Vinci, Plato, Gandhi, Shakespeare, Aesop, Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., Newton, Einstein and many more. Gratitude contributes to our health, our relationships, our careers, our well-being. People who are grateful, who give thanks, are happier.
PATIO WINNER
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Rose City Farmers’ Market customer Linda Parke, left, and president Judy Schlosser drew Chris MacDonald’s name as the winner of a new wooden patio set on Thursday, Sept. 27. The market celebrated its 14th anniversary with the draw and assisted the Open Door Association at the same time by matching customer donations.
***
That’s all true, and…seems like it’s easier for complaints, what we are not thankful for, to pop into our minds. In a week that included dozens of delightful experiences, the one at the top of my mind is the one that disappointed me. My complaint seems to outweigh all the good that happened. How come that’s where my mind goes, instead of all the generous, whimsical, beautiful, laugh-filled, touching moments? For one thing, it’s how our brains work. Some parts of our brain are hard-wired to look for danger, for what might harm us. We notice scary unhappy things more than helpful happy things. That contributes to a negative worldview. Our brains then filter information to fit what we already believe–even when facts prove that what we believe is untrue. (Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong about the World and Why Things are Better Than You Think, by Hans Rosling (2018), says more about that.) When my dad was confronted with information that conflicted with one of his (many!) opinions, he’d say, “Don’t confuse me with facts,” and laugh. But actually it wasn’t a joke. That’s how our brains operate. Given a choice between hard facts and what we believe, we block out whatever “fact” does not fit our beliefs. ***
The news of the day doesn’t help. We’re pummelled with things to be angry about, things to worry about, things to feel sad about. Caroline Adams Miller, co-author of Creating Your Best Life, wrote, “In order to flourish, whether in a marriage, at work or in any other type of environment, you need three positive comments or interactions for every one negative. If you listen to the news, we’re so far below three-to-one it’s staggering.”

***
Three positives for every negative? Three to one odds? When I first read that, it was daunting. But then I thought, we could use that information in a very practical way. For example, I could pay attention to when I’m thinking dark thoughts, or worse, saying dark things. As soon as I notice I’m in “bitter” territory, I could choose to say or think three positive things. If nothing else, stopping to think of three positive things breaks the negativity trance. That in itself is a benefit. ***
So…my challenge to myself and to you, if you’re intrigued with the idea. For the next week, on the way to Thanksgiving weekend, whenever I (or you) catch myself (or yourself) thinking dark complaining thoughts, see if I (or you) can think of three happier thoughts; three things to be grateful for. Then notice if it makes any difference to your mood. Can’t do harm. Might do some good. Are you in? ***
I’d love to hear from you, about this challenge or anything else. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

Camrose police officer attends international conference By Lori Larsen
Police officers from around the world gathered to listen, learn, converse and network during the 2018 International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Conference held Aug. 26 to 30 in Calgary, including Camrose Police Service’s nine-year veteran Constable Sarah Day. The theme for the conference was Leading Change, focusing on the importance of current issues that impact policing organizations and how to effectively manage and direct organizations to become progressive and inclusive, while promoting community involvement and achieving collaborative initiatives. The conference highlighted keynote speakers from a variety of genres and topic matters. Constable Day first heard of the IAWP conference back in October of 2017, during an Alberta Women in Policing Conference that she was invited to attend. “The previous year’s IAWP conference had been held in Australia,” said Const. Day. “I had no idea we had this association, so when I heard about a lot of the interesting people who were coming and speaking at the Calgary conference, it really peaked my interest.” She approached Chief Neufeld and Deputy Chief Foreman and inquired as to the possibility of attending the conference. “I recognized the cost associated with attending such an event and I was very grateful to find out our police service felt the importance far outweighed the expense. Needless to say I was elated when I found out I had been approved to attend.” Day attended the conference with an open mind and a desire to determine what other women in policing were experiencing in their own cultures and countries. Arriving on Saturday, Aug. 25 for registration, Day discovered early that the conference was not only going to provide a wealth of knowledge and information, but would be a showcase of diverse culture and perspectives. “On the Saturday, I met some women from Trinidad and Tobago who were wearing these beautiful dresses of vibrant colours and they were so excited to meet us (Day and a member of Calgary Police Service). We all hit it off immediately.” The conference hosted over 650 people from 35 different countries including spouses, children, extended family and guests of the conference attendees wanting to experience Canada. One of the highlights for Day came on the first
day during the parade of nations. “Attendees were wearing their nation’s (police) dress attire which for some included traditional head garb, flowing gowns and of course our para-military-style dress uniform. “It was remarkable to see women of all these different nationalities parading through downtown Calgary and to see so many different people and cultures in one area. It is an experience I will never forget, nor likely ever have the opportunity to experience again.” During the rest of the conference, attendees, including Day, broke off into different sessions based on their own topics of interest.
of us are mothers and have to balance the demands of our job while raising our children and keeping our homes in good order.” Const. Day also noted the impact of the keynote speakers of the conference and how they inspired her through their recollections of their own challenges and successes. “One of the keynote speakers was the President (former) of Kosovo and she was also an ex-police officer. She was a phenomenal speaker, very inspiring and exuded confidence.” Day also spent time networking with women from the US Embassy who were established in Albania and Kosovo and who were attending the conference with the director
making huge connections to their communities.” What Day took away from learning about the evolution of other agencies around the world she hopes can be incorporated not only within CPS, but within policing in Canada. “I think that is something we can make more of an effort to do because not only do the decisions we make inhouse impact us, but they impact our community. It is important to have all stakeholders on board and be very transparent. “Diversity and inclusion is important in policing and highly valued by CPS. I have been encouraged to share my experiences back home (in CPS) and to bring forward ideas and initiatives from the
Submitted Camrose Police Service Constable Sarah Day, right joins other police officers from around the world during the 2018 International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Conference held in Calgary on Aug. 26 to 30.
“Each lecture was about an hour long. Depending on what your interest was, you ended up in a room full of like-minded people.” Day was also interested in making connections and hearing from others who could offer her some mentorship. “In our agency (Camrose Police Service), I am the most senior female, so I have no females of higher rank or more years’ experience then myself to draw from–for mentorship. I wanted to find women that I could bounce ideas off and find some guidance through, so I will be better equipped to mentor other female officers and guide them through any tribulations they may experience. Being a female in my line of work is no easy task, most
of counter terrorism and the General in Charge of Kosovo police. “They were amazing women, so down to earth.” Day admits she had some of her own preconceived notions prior to attending the conference, that Canada was leaps and bounds ahead of other nations with regards to forward-thinking in policing. “What I found was that a lot of these agencies that have been established for over 100 years have become very progressive, such as Australia which had a big contingent of attendees at the conference. Their agencies are so far ahead of the game. They are geographically similar to us (Canada), spread out with smaller agencies, and they are
conference to further promote authentic inclusion in our organization. “It is a matter of everyone coming to the table and being aware of the direction we want things to go– all community support services and organizations are on board so everyone is on the same page.” Day indicated that some of the Eastern Canadian provinces are already making strides with regards to women in policing, having mentorship programs already in place for at least 25 years where Alberta’s Women In Police Association is still in its infancy. “My hope is that we can make those connections in our province. One of the biggest things I wanted to bring back from the confer-
ence, aside from making those connections, was to find a way to address some of the patriotical stagnant biases that a lot of smaller agencies are experiencing, on an international level. “Larger agencies have diversity training and more diverse populations from which to draw. The ways we can affect change to overcome those systemic biases is to evaluate members based on qualities, what they bring to the table, taking into account all members’ contributions.” Day further explained, “It is important to find a balance, to even the playing field so we are getting the best people into those positions to make the most amount of change in a positive way.” Day’s experience at the conference left a lasting impression on her, being able to network with such a diverse group of like-minded police officers while drawing from their vast amount of knowledge and experience. She noted that no matter where fellow police members came from, no matter how established their county was or was not, they all experience the same issues, domestic and sexual violence, crimes against persons, violence toward women and children and drug and alcoholrelated crime. “We have more commonalities than differences. “We all get into policing for the same reason, we want to make a difference in our community and effect change in a positive way, that is why we sign up. Sometimes we lose sight of that because we get held down with the miniscule things.” Const. Day echoed a phrase she learned at the conference that resonated with her and she hopes she can apply to her own policing career and life. “‘Gratitude has no expiry date.’ There were all of these people (at the conference) who have gone through terrible experiences, grown up in war and poverty, yet are so grateful for everything and can’t believe how good it is in Canada.” For Constable Day, experiencing the conference was more than she could have hoped for and she walked away with new friendships, resources and mentors that will help her to make the world of policing even stronger.

SingAble brings community voices together By Lori Larsen
Voices of the community will be coming together on Oct. 2 at 7 p.m., at the Augustana Chapel, in what can only be described as a jubilee of music, fellowship and inclusion. SingAble, a community based choir will be gathering for their first rehearsal as members of the all inclusive choir. The choir spawned from an idea inspired by Community Association for Living community disability support worker Dan Jensen, to create a singing opportunity for not only the clients of CAFCL, but anyone in the community. With the support of CAFCL staff, board and chief executive officer Esther McDonald, the idea was presented in May 2017 to the University of Alberta Augustana Music Department, specifically associate professor of music Ardelle Ries, who in a fashion so befitting her ability to make things happen and her passion for music, agreed to take on the initiative. With the International Music Educators’ Symposium freshly off her plate, Ardelle felt the timing would be perfect to create another opportunity to implement a theme of Singing the Circle. “From the time of birth to adult, I have had this notion of this lifelong activity of embracing music. I grew up in a family of singing–babies singing with grandparents and greatgrandparents.” After hearing a colleague speak at the Symposium, it started wheels spinning in Ardelle’s own mind about starting an intergenerational choir in Camrose. “This colleague is developing intergenerational choirs for people with Alzheimer’s disease (in Ontario) that involve the elder and high school students singing together,” explained Ardelle. Another meeting in February between Ardelle, Dan and Esther had them ironing out some of the finer details of what SingAble would entail, specifically and most importantly, that
it would be a choir that welcomes people of all ages and abilities. “In the music world, we are very much about ableism. You audition and if you are good enough, you get into the choir which may have fostered why people are somewhat apprehensive to get into music, the fear of not being good enough,” said Ardelle, in explaining why it was important that SingAble was open to anyone who wanted to sing for the sheer joy of singing and feeling included. Through a great deal of research, Ardelle discovered that inclusion choirs in Canada have become more common over the last decade. “It is such an exciting realm of positive exploration and freedom. We all can make music together.” In further exploring, the outreach SingAble can have to not only include all members of the community, but to offer opportunities for other community singing groups and choirs to be a part of this remarkable initiative, Ardelle took it upon herself to meet with them and invite them to participate in the choir at a rehearsal. “Our hope is that at one point, each group would bring their singing group to at least one SingAble rehearsal and be the core of the choir. This will help us sing the repertoire, and it will also bring awareness to the other singing groups in Camrose.” Ardelle’s excitement for SingAble is contagious, as a warm smile crosses her face when she explains how this has come at a timely point in her own life. “Five years ago, I was struck with debilitating arthritic condition where I could barely walk because the inflammation was so bad. I had to stop conducting and let go of the busy evening schedule and intense tours.” Ardelle underwent three years of intensive steroid and other therapies and has luckily regained her mobility. However, she did have to rethink how she could still share music with others. “I couldn’t do what I loved any more, but
Submitted Tonight’s the night voices from across Camrose come together in a celebration of song and inclusion. Pictured from left, choir member Eldon Jackson, accompanist Roger Admiral and director Ardelle Ries.
it put me onto other things and ways to share music and helped set the stage for ventures like this.” The choir
To date, 53 people have signed up for SingAble. The choir will rehearse on Tuesdays, beginning with a Meet and Greet at 6:45 p.m. when Ardelle hopes to be able to greet every member one on one as they are seated in a symbolic circle. T he rehea rsa l itself will commence at 7 p.m. and will include vocal warm ups, community building and music exercises, then singing the musical repertoire which will consist of familiar lighter tunes, some of which will be in unison and some in parts. After the rehearsal, members are encouraged to stay from 8 until 8:30 p.m. to socialize and enjoy some light snacks and tea or coffee. Ardelle noted that the choir will not be performing concerts per se. The idea is for members to come together and enjoy singing. On Saturday, Oct. 20, known as World Singing Day, the choir invites anyone to come and join them in the Augustana Chapel for a community sing-along. During the second term beginning in the new year,
the choir will be celebrating International (Music) Heals Day on March 2 at The Bethany Group Auditorium and, once again, is open to the public to come and join in a sing-along. Making it work
A undertaking such as this would not be possible if not for the tireless work and dedication of many volunteers. Camrose Association for Community Living has graciously taken on a significant role of providing administrative duties including registration, promotion and providing the supplies for the social gathering after rehearsals. Augustana not only has provided the amazing talent of Ardelle Ries, but also the facilities and some administrative support. “We were also able to hire three research assistants, undergraduate students April Heimrich, Danielle Lee and Gracie Yelland. Our symposium did very well, so we were able to fund some of these things such as the research assistants, equipment we are using, song books and things like that through those funds.” Quinn Henrickson, an Augustana undergraduate student, has volunteered to help coordinate all volun-
teers and Augustana will also be offering a Community Service Learning opportunity to undergraduate students in connection to SingAble. Roger Admiral will be offering his support as a pianist as well as other instrumentalists throughout the community. “This was really meant to happen,” said Ardelle. “All things have fallen into place and the community has been so supportive.” Ardelle mentioned that through another of her connections, the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta has also come on board with promoting the program (choir) within the Central Alberta region. “It will be quite a mix of people. Multiple generations from one family, care givers with their clients, people and voices of all abilities. And it will be a wonderful growing experience for everyone.” On a final note, Ardelle said that our voice is connected to our soul, so we tend to feel vulnerable when we sing. Her hopes are that this choir will clear away that fear for members and they will learn to embrace and love their inner and outer voice.

Renovations to the emergency department at Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose were completed in less than a year. “We thank the foundation board for giving us a generous donation of $1 million so we could redevelop our emergency department,” said Cherylyn Antymniuk, St. Mary’s site administrator. “In 2012, Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital hired a consultant to complete a study of staff flow in the emergency department. This plan is designed to accommodate an increased population growth for at least 20 years,” explained Cherylyn. “This project wasn’t high on the Alberta Health Services list, so our community foundation (St. Mary’s) stepped up for us. They know how important this project was for our facility, staff, physicians and even for our community. We are so fortunate that we have a foundation board that truly believes in our mission to serve and respond to the needs of our community.” Board chair Judith O’Shaughnessy discussed the process. “We reviewed the plans for the emergency renovation and were eager to get on board with that. We spent about four years trying to get money. We spoke with Covenant Health, three health ministers, two MLAs and when it came evident that funding would be considerably years down the road. We decided that we had to do something else. We went back to administration and asked them to scale the $2 million project back to $1 million. It didn’t take long for them to return with another plan.” Covenant Health president and CEO Patrick Dumelie visited St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose a couple of weeks ago to check on the renovations. “I encourage everyone to take a tour, especially if you had seen the way it was before,” laughed Patrick. “It is remarkable what has been done with this space.” Renovations changed the layout of the emergency department to improve service and safety. “The ER department is the heart of the hospital and now it will serve the community even better.” Continued on page 17

Covenant Health ER lead Dr. Larry Chapman added to those comments. “Not only is our newly renovated ER esthetically pleasing, its improved functionality is what is most important. This in turn has improved care for patients.” Michelle Solverson, former emergency room manager, started the process many years ago. “I really want to thank Michelle because without her we wouldn’t have accomplished what we did,” said Melissa Berg, patient care manager. People will be asked to report to the triage station near the front entrance before registering and moving on to emergency. The redesign improved emergency access, safety, flow and privacy throughout the patient journey. The emergency department has been one spot that the hospital identified as needing an upgrade for a number of years. Phase 1 also included renovating the security room and changing a vacant area into a storage room.

Cirque Éloize Saloon is inspired by the rich legacy of the wild, wild, west. It is an infectious energy of folk music and strains of fiddle set the tone for an acrobatic comedy that sweeps spectators away in a mad flurry. It whirls into Camrose on Friday, Oct. 5 for a 7:30 p.m. show at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. Swing open the saloon doors and enter a mythical world created by live music and the exhilarating pace of spectacular performances. Let yourself get swept away by enthralling voices, magical harmonies and live instrumentation. The timeless tunes of Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline set the traditional, epic scene for a fast-paced show with no shortage of audience thrills. “The inspiration for this show comes from what has been our driving force for nearly 25 years. It comes from the world of the wild, wild, west, with which we share the frontier spirit of cutting new trails and pushing boldly onward, lightened by a touch of
irreverence and a sense of sharing and community,” said Jeannot Painchaud, president, artistic and creative director of the show. “Saloon is a wonderful playground for a work of artistic exploration. It’s the physical energy of acrobatics combined with the poetry of the theatrical approach, a touch of comedy and the musical roots of our childhood come to life. Saloon is a thrilling, fun and funny musical, an invitation to a party.” It is set back in time when North America is under construction. The west is booming. The railroad is being developed. In the middle of the desert, a town comes to life. A saloon opens its doors. A place to gather and share tales, it quickly becomes a theatre for stories of all kinds. In Cirque Éloize’s Saloon, the infectious energy of folk music sets the tone to an acrobatic comedy that sweeps the spectators away in a mad rush. Enigmatic, colourful characters come together and reveal themselves, resulting in a series of unexpected situations, unfolding to the rhythm of acrobatic prow-
ess and original choreographies. Under the spell of the saloon’s beautiful Belle, the lover sets off a chase worthy of the greatest westerns. The lovebirds on the run wreak havoc everywhere on their path; from the deserted plains to the depth of the mines—until the ultimate acrobatic showdown. Walking through Saloon’s doors means entering a mythical atmosphere created by live music and the exhilarating pace of spectacular performances. A driving force in the circus art reinvention movement, Cirque Éloize has been creating award- winning entertainment content for nearly 25 years and ranks among the world’s leading contemporary circuses. Cirque Éloize has taken part in numerous prestigious international festivals and has seduced both New York’s Broadway and London’s West End. Its productions are crafted for a wide range of audiences and have been embraced by over 50 cultures.

Quilala’s songs honours grandma By Murray Green
Bernard Quilala introduced himself to Camrose last year at Krystle Dos Santos’ concert in the debut of the Cabaret Series at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. “I was contacted by the Lougheed Centre to see if I was interested in putting on a show of my own, so I jumped at the chance,” explained Bernard. “I’ve done a lot of weddings and private parties that are really based on dance music. I didn’t want to do that for this concert. I wanted something different.” Bernard and his band the Q-Tones will be kicking off the this year’s Cabaret Series on Friday, Oct. 12 at 7:30 p.m. with his theme Music Royalty. “I wanted to go back to my first love and that is a show on music royalty. I will be doing a whole set of Elvis tunes and the second set will be on music legends.” That includes songs from James Brown, Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Ben E. King and other singers that are the kings of soul. “Although I’m 37 now, but I’ve always liked the old classics from Elvis and Michael Jackson. This venue is really good to do a show like this with music I don’t normally do a lot of,” said Bernard. “The people in Camrose have been good to me and I’ve been there twice now. The response from the crowd is always positive. I’m not only looking forward to playing, but getting the opportunity to know Camrose and people more. I’m really excited to be there.” Continued to page 21

Quilala honours his grandmother Continued from page 20
He has performed at the Brier and on television. “I prefer the cabaret style because the stage isn’t so big that I have to fill it all on my own. The more intimate setting lends itself to being more real and laid back because even the smallest movement on a cabaret stage can seem as big as life.” Bernard was a contestant on Season 2 of Cana-
dian Idol (2004). He was not shown during the first part of the Toronto Round, but was shown in a group wildcard round. His version of Marvin Gaye’s “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” didn’t get him into the final two wildcard spots. Ironically, one of the judges, Sass Jordan, will also be playing at the Lougheed Centre this month. “I started singing when
my grandmother came over from the Philippines. She didn’t have a lot with her, but one of the things was a karaoke tape featuring Elvis songs. That is where my love of Elvis songs came from. It was the first thing that I learned because I got that tape from my grandmother. I lost my grandmother last year, so in a lot of ways I’ll be dedicating this show to her. I’m excited to play in Camrose.”

Fire Prevention Week Look Listen Learn By Lori Larsen
Fire Prevention Week, is once again offering residents an opportunity to educate themselves on fire safety. The theme for this year’s event, which runs from Oct. 7 until the 14, is Look. Listen. Learn. Today home fires burn faster and occupants may have as little as one to two minutes to safely escape their home once a fire alarm sounds. The key to a safe escape is to plan and practice using those minutes wisely. The City of Camrose Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) –the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years–to promote this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign. The premise behind the campaign is to educate the public about basic, but essential, ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire. “Working in the fire service for many years, we know that people often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost them their lives,” said Camrose Fire Department Fire and Life Safety educator Jeff Knopf. “We need to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially lifesaving difference escape planning and practice can make and motivating them to action.” Data from Statistics Canada indicate the number of structure fires declined by 26 per cent between 2005 and 2014. However, residential fires consistently accounted for roughly six of every
10 structural fires during that period. According to StatsCan, cooking equipment and smokers’ material caused approximately six of every 10 residential fires. “These numbers show that while we’ve made significant progress in teaching people how to prevent fires from happening, there’s still much more work to do in terms of educating the public about how to protect themselves in the event of one,” said NFPA’s vice-president of Outreach and Advocacy Lorraine Carli. “This is particularly critical given the increased speed at which today’s home fires grow and spread.” Given these statistics, the need to educate the public on how to safely escape their home in the event of a fire is a priority and one that Camrose Fire Department takes seriously. Knopf said this year’s Look. Listen. Learn. campaign highlights three steps people can take to quickly and safely escape a fire. Look for places fire could start. Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm. Learn two ways out of every room. While NFPA and Camrose Fire Department are focusing on home fires, these messages apply to virtually any location. “Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go,” said Knopf. “No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately.” Camrose Fire Department is doing their part to

help educate the public on fire safety and encourage all residents to participate in Fire Prevention Week, but also make fire prevention and safety education a regular part of their daily lives. For more information about Fire Prevention Week and home escape planning, visit www.firepreventionweek. org.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Fire Department Fire and Life Safety educator Jeff Knopf stresses the importance of knowing exactly what to look and listen for in the event of a fire and learning about how to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Fire Department educates residents
By Lori Larsen
This year during Fire Prevention Week, held from Oct. 7 until 14, the Camrose Fire Department will be out and about raising awareness and educating the public on the importance of fire safety and prevention and this year’s campaign Look. Listen. Learn. Firefighters will be attending a local residential facility testing smoke detectors, ensuring all detectors are in working order and replacing those that are not. They will also be educating residents of the facility on the importance of fire safety including looking for places fire could start, listening for the sound of the smoke alarm and learning two ways out of every room. The Smoke Detector testing initiative is sponsored by the local Canadian Tire. On Oct. 10 from 6 until 6:30 p.m., Camrose Fire Department will be cruising the streets looking for residents participating in the Great Escape, a citywide fire drill. Firefighters will be driving through the City of Camrose and giving out prizes to participating families. Be sure to be at your meeting spot at 6 p.m. to participate.
Rustle up your appetite for the annual Fire Prevention Week Pancake Breakfast to be held on Oct. 14 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Fire Hall located at 201 Mount Pleasant Drive. This is always a popular event and features members of Camrose Fire Department serving up a hardy meal, offering educational information on fire safety, handing out swag to the children and showing off the ever-so-popular shiny red fire engines. And rumour has it there will be a visit from the CFD mascot, Captain Camrose– great photo opportunities for the children. In an effort to build fire safety awareness early Camrose Fire Department Firefighters Association, in partnership with Wild Rose Co-op, will be handing out free smoke detectors to Grade 4 students within the City of Camrose. The students are encouraged to place the detectors as needed in their homes. Camrose Fire Department welcomes all residents to ask questions and seek out more information on fire safety and prevention by contacting them at 780-672-2906 or visiting the Fire Prevention Week website at www.firepreven tionweek.org.

Barr continues tradition with Flight Hawk By Murray Green
Malcolm Barr of Camrose, has owned his 1956 Studebaker Flight Hawk for about 25 years. “I bought it in pieces out of Saskatoon. I wanted this car because our family always drove Studebakers, so I grew up with them. My first car was a 1962 Studebaker Daytona twodoor hard top,” revealed Malcolm. The Studebaker Flight Hawk, introduced by Studebaker in 1956, was the lowest-priced model in the fourmodel Hawk family sports car line that included the Golden Hawk, Sky Hawk, Power Hawk and Flight Hawk. “This was the first year of the Hawk. From 1956 to ’62 they had a similar body style, so this was the first year of that series.” The Flight Hawk was a product of a Raymond Loewy design. It was based on the Champion two-door coupe that was introduced for the 1953 model year. Like the other 1956 Hawks, the Flight Hawk received a new hood, grille, deck lid and instrument panel. Flight Hawks otherwise had the minimum amount of exterior chrome. Things like oil filter, backup lamps, radio, clock, windshield washers, outside mirrors, heater and full hubcaps were available from the factory, or could be added through the dealer. “When I first bought the car it had all Studebaker parts, but I changed that over a couple of years ago. I changed the engine to a 1995 Corvette, but most of the rest of it is Studebaker,” said Malcolm. While the other Hawk models were powered by V8 engines, the Flight Hawk came with the Champion’s 185.6 cubic inch (3.0 L) inline six-cylinder engine, rated at 101 hp (75 kW; 102 PS). Standard was a threespeed manual transmission, an optional overdrive unit, or a three-speed automatic transmission (known as Flight-O-Matic). “I wanted more power

with the Corvette engine and better handling on the highways. I also added air conditioning and four wheel disc brakes. I wanted a little more comfort and for it to be safer.” The Flight Hawk was a two-door pillared coupe (model 56G-C3), which carried a list price of $1,986. There were 560 Flight Hawk Hardtops, model 56G-K7, built for export (499 sold), Canadian use (52 sold) and special order (nine sold in the US). This brought the total 1956 Flight Hawk production to 4,949. “I go to car shows pretty much all summer long. It’s fun for me. There are not that many around, so it is standard to be one of the only ones with a Studebaker,” said Malcolm. The Coupe, Model 56GC3, had 4,389 built in total, broken down by manufacturing plant: 2,508 (South Bend plant), 557 (Los Ange-
les plant), 584 (Hamilton, Ontario plant) and 740 (exported to other countries). The Hardtop, Model 56G-K7, 560 total, broken down by manufacturing plant: nine (South Bend plant), 52 (Hamilton, Ontario plant) and 499 (exported to other countries.) “The suspension of the Studebaker was similar to other cars from the same era.” Of the four available Hawks for 1956, the Golden Hawk, Sky Hawk, Power Hawk and Flight Hawk, the Flight Hawk was the second-most popular. The Power Hawk, with 7,095 produced for all markets, was the most popular. “I just keep putting miles on it. It has about 25,000 miles on it now since I rebuilt it. I try to drive everywhere and enjoy it. That’s why I wanted it,” said Malcolm.
Studebaker simplified the Hawk line for 1957. This meant the end for the Flight, Power, and Sky
Hawks, which were combined into the new Silver Hawk series.

Bridge update By Lori Larsen
City of Camrose director of engineering services Jeremy Enarson and engineering co-op student apprentice Ashton Ford, presented updated information on the 48th Avenue Bridge Project at the Camrose Public Library, Sept. 24. Enarson detailed the project thus far, outlining the reasons behind the project, the budget and timeline. “When the project was originally put out for tender, the intent was to have the project completed by the end of August,” explained Enarson. As the result of a misalignment issue occurring in the design which involved not having enough width on the roadway, the project team spent approximately two weeks developing a solution that would fix the issue. “Once we came up with an agreed solution and realized the fix could be done within the original budget approved by council, then we gave the green light to the contractor (PSA),” who Enarson said then undertook the work of fixing the misalignment issue. “Through that process, we lost a little over a month pushing the project completion date to around Oct. 10th. PSA was definitely on track for that–the road was compacted and ready to go until we experienced the wet weather a little over two weeks ago,” continued Enarson. “Everything was ready to go and Border Paving was planning on putting asphalt down, then the forecast called for wet conditions and we ended up losing the entire first week.” During this time, PSA was able to work on parts of the project that were not necessarily affected by the wet conditions, but were unable to begin paving work. “The next week, Tuesday Sept. 18, Wednesday Sept. 19 and Thursday Sept. 20, PSA was actually able to install the first two layers of asphalt across the entire project.” Because they were able to seal off the road, any moisture that occurred after those two initial layers were laid, went into the catch basin and didn’t soak down into the base of the road, allowing them to continue again on Monday Sept. 24 despite wet conditions over the prior weekend.

BRIDGE UPDATE Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Unpredictable weather, such as that experienced on Oct. 1, have contributed to delays in the 48th Avenue Bridge replacement project. Project completion date is now aimed at around Oct. 20 to 25.
Enarson noted that as of the morning of Sept. 26, all four layers of asphalt had been laid and the final touch-ups were being done on the Co-op exit. “The roadway paving is completely finished.” Looking forward, the items that remain to be done consist of construction of the centre concrete median that separates the eastbound lanes from the westbound lanes, the installation of line markings on the roadway and installation of streetlight poles by Fortis, which are all dependent on favourable weather conditions. Other items related to the roadwork that can be completed, despite wet conditions, include the installation of guardrails and some landscaping. “Separate from the road itself, the contractor still has to complete the construction of the trails on either side of the roadway, south and north, as well as the paved trail that connects that upper sidewalk going down through the pedestrian underpass. These, too, are weather dependent and as it currently stands, the weather forecast is a mixture of dry and / or wet. So we don’t know if wet days will stop or delay the project any further, but the contractor is trying to get it done as quickly as possible.” Completion date for the project, as it stands, is predicted to be around Oct. 20 to 25. As for the budget, Enarson said the project is still just under the original $6.7 million approved by council, including the road realignment fix which cost $210,000. “Fortunately, when we set up the budget with council right from the beginning, we had built in a contingency – a buffer to deal with any little changes along the way.” Enarson added that there were other items that the City would have liked to have completed in the project that were deferred, subject to council approval of next year’s budget. “We were hoping to do some extra electrical work and painting a mural in the pedestrian underpass, but we couldn’t fit it into this existing budget, so we will bring it to council for their consideration in the 2019 budget.” For updates on the 48th Avenue bridge project, visit the City webpage at www.camrose.ca/.

Checking your vehicle battery By Lori Larsen
Not unlike the many batteries that power your technology, your vehicle’s battery is very important and proper maintenance including replacement is vital. When doing routine maintenance on your vehicle be sure to check your battery including cables, hold down brackets and trays and consider replacing your battery every four to seven years. Replacing battery
When it is time to replace your battery there are simple steps to follow that will ensure proper fitting and safety. There are things you can do prior to replacing your battery. Look for build-up (whitish or blue residue) around the terminals. Cleaning the residue off could remedy a faulty battery. Residue build-up could be a sign of a poor seal around the terminals. Remember–never touch the residue or battery with bare hands. To ensure your vehicle battery is charged properly, drive constantly for 30 minutes with minimal electrical usage. Check the alternator on your vehicle, and in some makes the battery metre, while the engine is running. The alternator usually maintains a charge close to 13.8–to 14.2 volts in a properly functioning charging system. The battery should have 12.4–2.8 volts with the engine off. Once you have determined that the battery does need replacing, consider the following. Begin by purchasing the correct replacement battery. Auto parts dealers can assist with determining the proper replacement for your vehicle when provided with the vehicle’s make, model, year and engine size. Prior to removing the battery from your vehicle, ensure you have a secure and safe place to work, park your vehicle on a flat level surface clear of traffic, open flames or sparks and do not allow smoking near the area. Always use personal protection equipment such as safety gloves and goggles and proper clothing to avoid splash of sulfuric acid electrolyte solution on open skin. Plug the memory keeper into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. Record all PINS or codes for your vehicle’s electronics or use a complementary metal oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) to keep PINS and codes from being erased during the dis-
connection of your vehicle battery. Locate the battery in your vehicle and locate the positive and the negative terminals. The positive terminal will have a plus sign (and is often red) and the negative terminal will have a minus sign (and is often black). Disconnect the negative terminal by loosening the negative cable clamp with a wrench (Usually eight mm or 10 mm) and slide it off of the terminal. Label unmarked cables so they do not get mixed up. To avoid shorting your vehicle’s electronic system always remove the negative cable first. Then disconnect the positive terminal. To remove the battery, unfasten the battery holder and remove any screws, clamps or bars holding the battery in place. Carefully remove the battery out of the vehicle bearing in mind batteries can weigh up to 30 pounds and do contain toxic chemicals. Once the old battery is secured in a safe place, out of the reach of animals and children, replace with the new battery. Begin by cleaning the terminal clamps and the battery tray. If they are too damaged, consider having them replaced by a licensed mechanic. Place the new battery where you just took the old battery out, ensuring the positive and negative terminals on the correct sides. Connect all the screws, clamps or bars used to hold the battery in place. Reconnect the positive terminal first, by tightening clamps using a wrench, then reconnect the negative terminal and tighten with a wrench. To prevent corrosion, spray terminals with battery lithium grease. After replacing the battery reset or check to ensure all electronic devices are working properly, remove the battery memory saver. Dispose of the old battery at an appropriate facility. Do not throw the battery away into normal garbage or the sanitary landfill station.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Cleaning your vehicle regularly can prevent rust from turning into a major repair. Detailing expert Haley Mabbutt polishes her boss’s car to the standard set by Ryan Graham.
Keep your car looking good after repairs By Murray Green
In a perfect world, all vehicle owners would be able to park their cars and trucks in garages with temperature controlled environments. But in the real world, automobiles are vulnerable to sun, storms and other natural elements that, over time, can contribute to wear and tear. Some drivers don’t have the luxury to park their cars in garages. Some are content to let their vehicles brave the elements, while others look for ways to protect their cars and trucks as much as possible. Drivers who count themselves among the latter group can take these simple steps to protect their cars and trucks from whatever Mother Nature has in store for them. “Park in the shade. Parking in the shade can protect both the interior and exterior of a vehicle. Shaded areas protect upholstery and dashboards inside the car from suninduced fading, while also limiting the damage sun can cause to exterior paint. Faded paint may hurt the resale value of a vehicle, prompting prospective buyers to walk away or at least wonder if a vehicle with a faded exterior was well maintained,” said The Auto Shoppe owner Gord Graham. Washing and waxing a vehicle helps to minimize damage that’s inevitable regardless of where drivers park their cars. “Everyone makes sure to get their oil changes and
mechanical work done on a regular basis to ensure their vehicle functions properly,” said The Auto Shoppe manager Ryan Graham. “Consider waxing and detailing on a regular basis to ensure your vehicle looks like new for as long as possible as well.” Dirt and debris litter roadways, and over time cars can collect a large amount of these unwanted stowaways. If dirt and debris are not removed, they can cause long-term damage to vehicle exteriors. Washing and waxing a car can ensure its exterior looks good and reduce the likelihood of rust and other corrosion from occurring. Some drivers, especially those who do not park their cars and trucks in garages, may write off bird droppings as an annoying yet harmless side effect of vehicle ownership. However, bird droppings are acidic and, if left to their unsightly devices, can cause permanent damage to vehicle paint. Tree sap is an equally formidable foe, potentially causing scratching because it can be very difficult to remove without spreading. Specially formulated sprays can help drivers remove bird droppings and sap from their vehicles. “Drivers who have garages, but use them to store things other than their vehicles can use car covers when parking their cars in their driveways. Covers protect cars from the elements and can be quickly and easily removed,” added Ryan.

Written by Dawn Anderson As a Nomination Contestant, my dream is to run for MLA in the next provincial election for the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP). I have chosen the UCP as my party of choice, as I believe them to be fiscally responsible and able to provide our province with economic recovery and growth, in addition to leading with a social conscience. The UCP is a combination of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose Parties. To explain why I wish to be MLA for the Camrose Constituency, I should first provide details of who I am as a person and how I came to be where I am today. We should all aspire to be transparent about our selves, our strengths and weaknesses. Everything I have experienced, great and not so great in my life, has made me who I am today. I have always held the belief that everything happens for a reason. We grow and learn continuously. I was born in New Westminster, BC in 1972. My parents passed away from cancer when I was a young child. After my father’s passing my family moved to Red Deer in 1980, where my mother passed away in 1982. Due to much inconsistency in care during my childhood I have lived on my own since the age of fi fteen. I have worked full time supporting myself ever since. I have never been married. I would like to find the next love of my life someday and build a future, but I am okay if it doesn’t happen right away. Again, I believe everything happens for a reason. I’ve never been afraid to venture off on my own and try new things; therefore, in my teens and early 20’s I worked all over as a gas jockey, housekeeper, busser, dishwasher, seismic hound, waitress, bartender, and telemarketer. In my mid 20s I was connected with the owner of a growing company out of Grande Prairie. This is when my passion for hospitality came to be. I became the general manager of a full service hotel property in Whitecourt at the age of 25. I made many mistakes, yet the successes surpassed and I was given many more opportunities to learn and grow. I went on to spend the next 7 years managing our diff erent franchise properties and opening new hotels for our company in Grande Prairie. With the birth of my son Gavin in 2004, I took our
company up on an offer to work at our newly acquired property in Athabasca. It was perfect for me, as I was trying to balance being a single mom and career woman trying to get back in good health. When this property sold, it was my time to move on from my long standing employer in order to remain centrally located. My goal was to be closer to Camrose in order for my son’s father and I to have an easier time caring for him back and for th. I ventured on to a company overseeing multiple hotel properties in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie and Fort St. John, BC, as a regional manager. The original plan of my being based out of Central Alber ta did not come to fruition, so I chose to pursue other endeavours leaving on a positive note. Gavin was getting ready to start preschool and travelling for work at his young age, staying in hotels with a nanny was no longer viable. Days before we drove home to Calgary, where we never truly lived, I got a call from a company looking for a general manager to oversee their property in Camrose. The rest is history. I have been living in Camrose since June of 2008. I have been managing the Camrose Resort Casino for over 10 years now. This takes us to the next step in my story….
Why do I wish to be MLA?
Keeping with my theme of everything happening for a reason, the opportunity to work in Camrose is one of those ‘wow’ moments. My career was on a much diff erent path, working in bigger cities, overseeing multiple projects. When the offer came up to come to Camrose, it was a small step back in my plan for the f uture as it was a single facility. That being said, it is one of the largest employers in the city and still afforded me a respectable salary – enough to settle myself and son nicely into the community. I have grown to love Camrose and the many surrounding communities, having visited quite a few through my volunteering and Gavin’s sports. When I first took my position here, it was to secure employment for a few years so my son could grow up where his father grew up. Little did I know the effect the city would have on me. I fi gured someday I would want to leave and go back to my plan for the future once he reached late high school age or graduated. This is not far off now! Has time ever fl own by! As he grows up, I realize how rural living has truly grown on me. I have never
lived anywhere in my life for over 10 years. We always moved when I was a child and I always moved in my early adult life for diff erent career opportunities. Camrose has become my true home. Having taken the route that I have moving here, I was able to start volunteering for diff erent service clubs and organizations. I also got a chance to be a part of my son’s sports life. These are things I cherish deeply. I wish to be MLA because I know I would be a great person to represent those living in the Camrose Constituency. My entire 20 plus year career has provided real time training to listen effectively, to solve concerns, to communicate with multiple personality types, perceptions, and issues. I have no agenda of my own. Your agenda is mine. My position as MLA would be as a servant to the people. My goal: to listen and understand your concerns, to put those concerns forth to the right people and provide feedback and updates. I would represent the entire population of the Camrose Constituency regardless of personal or political beliefs and to do so with gratitude and respect.

Edwards to receive sovereign medal By Murray Green
Dean Edwards, known as Mr. Volunteer in the seniors’ community, will be receiving a Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers on Oct. 15. Dean is retired, but not by his choice. Unfortunately, he was forced into early retirement due to a degenerative eye condition, which caused him to become legally blind. Sometimes something lost is something gained. He turned to volunteering to keep him occupied. “I served with Dean on the executive for the Camrose Pickleball Club—he as president and myself as treasurer. It is my opinion that the club would not have grown from 15 to 120 members in five years without his leadership and hard work,” said Susan Nigh. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America. It is a year round sport played both indoors and outdoors by people of all ages. It is a racquet sport that is a cross between ping pong, badminton and tennis. Played on a badminton sized court
with a low net and with a paddle that is slightly larger than a ping pong paddle. There is a light plastic ball (whiffle ball) that is a bit bigger than a tennis ball. “It is difficult to explain the extent of work he has done.” He purchased equipment and ensured equipment was ordered and replaced as needed. Dean organized building of equipment boxes and standards for our outdoor courts and organized outdoor play sooner rather than later for the club. He liaised and coordinated space for pickleball play (indoor and outdoor) with the City of Camrose. He initiated and organized forming a club, an executive and board of directors. Dean actively recruited and grew the board from two to nine people. He created and maintained the club membership list. He ensured club members were registered with Pickleball Alberta and Pickleball Canada organizations and liaised between them. Dean played a lead role
in communication with all members to ensure they were kept informed of playtime, locations, events and tournaments. He designed and kept the club Facebook page current. He recruited and assisted in the development of a website for the club. Dean provided public awareness and education on the sport of pickleball to all age groups (provided one-on-one sessions to the primary care network, leadership in training youth group and school groups). He organized tournaments, clinics and lessons (this is a significant task). Dean performed backup treasurer responsibilities, collected payments and did bank runs in the treasurer’s absence. He designed and organized the maintenance of the courts (such as painting lines when needed). He networked with pickleball clubs throughout the province. He was responsible for the completion of a non-profit society’s application. Dean wrote letters,
made presentations and advocated for Pickleball. He worked with Alberta 55 Plus to host zone playoffs on two occasions. He designed electronic ledgers for tracking club revenue, expenses and organized for e-payments. “The impact of Dean’s volunteerism is that he has not only grown the club to its current membership of 120, but he also has encouraged and promoted active citizenship, fitness and wellness to all ages,” added Susan. “Dean took
his responsibilities with the club extremely seriously. Although no one tracked his time, it is obvious that he spent many hours daily on club duties and I would go so far as to suggest he treated it as a full-time job.” Dean worked countless hours to help others. “He is deserving of this Sovereign Medal for Volunteers as he has made Camrose and our community better through his actions. Dean, by the way, is an awesome pickleball player.”

Hail to Chester Ronning
C
By Lori Larsen
In an effort to honour all the good Chester Ronning did for not only Camrose and area, but the province and beyond, the Camrose and District Centennial Museum, in partnership with the University of Alberta Augustana Campus Chester Ronning Centre, has put together a collection and exhibit at the museum. Augustana graduate and research assistant for this project Gavin Wilkes explained to guests attending the exhibit on Sept. 23, the joy he felt in being part of the project. “Being able to share the archive elements and cataloguing of all the items was such a great experience. In the beginning, I didn’t know what I would find. I had an idea that I would be writing a document about the archiving of artifacts about Chester Ronning, but as the year went on (in the research position), I stumbled across more and more of Chester Ronning’s personal items or belongings.� Wilkes said the project turned out to be so much more than he could have imagined. “I definitely felt like a bit of a historian, finding these artifacts and items. And it is so great to come here today and see the end result of all our (Chester Ronning, Augustana and museum staff/ volunteers) hard work. All of us worked together and learned a little more about Chester Ronning and what he did for Camrose, Augustana and Canada.� University of Alberta Augustana Campus Chester Ronning Centre director Dr. Ian Wilson thanked all the people involved in bringing together the tribute to Ronning, noting the display will be at the Museum until August 2019. “It was an honour to be able to promote Ronning and preserve the legacy that is rooted here in Camrose.�

February 11, 1970 ~ October 7, 2010 Eight short years ago, you went for a bike ride and never came back! I can’t stop thinking about you. The day you came into our lives and made us so glad and proud. Throughout the years … Grade One and how I cried because you were so grown up. Your love of animals, especially our dogs Gypsy and Butch. Your 13th birthday and how you commissioned me to make you a cake in the shape of a Harley. The day you got your dream – a silver Harley. So proud to have me come and have a look. Photos of you and the Harley still sit on my dresser. It was that beloved Harley that took you to your forever home with Jesus. My heart is sad, but my soul is glad because I know I’ll see you again! Love you forever, Mom

Arthur Majeski June 23, 1931 ~ September 19, 2018 Arthur Majeski of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Wednesday, September 19, 2018, at the age of 87 years. Arthur “Art” Majeski was born on June 23, 1931 was and raised on the farm in the Dinant area north of Camrose. He was the third eldest of thirteen siblings born to August and Olga Majeski, attending school in both Dinant and Camrose. Art enjoyed sports at a young age including hockey and curling. Art met Lila Rude while attending high school in Camrose, and they were married on November 11, 1952 at Grace Lutheran Church in Camrose. Two years later, they were blessed with a son, Daryle, followed by James and then Deanna. Art was very proud of his children and, along with Lila, spent a lot of time taking them to various sports and watching them play hockey and ball, to name a few. In the early years, Art worked in the oil patch, mainly for Shell Oil, as well as farmed. He later joined the Department of Highways as a driver examiner where he worked for 20 years before retiring to farm full time with James and Daryle. He enjoyed spending time in the field working alongside his boys. In later years, he followed the local farm auction circuit and was known to bring home all sorts of “treasures” – some of dubious value! Over the years, Art and Lila travelled and enjoyed numerous trips together with friends and family. In 2011, he and Lila moved off the farm to Camrose. Art’s declining health later forced a move for him into the Louise Jensen Care Centre, where he resided until his passing on September 19, 2018. Art is survived by his wife Lila; three children Daryle (Tetyana), James (Michelle) and Deanna (Greg) Wilcox; three grandchildren Ben Majeski, Jacqui Thompson and Erika Wilcox Hellekson (Troy); and four great-grandchildren Mercedes Majeski, Madison Thompson, Abigail Majeski and Ebony Thompson. He is also survived by four brothers and five sisters, Robert Majeski of Camrose, Elsie (Bernard) Fossen of High River, Herta Stuve of Red Deer, Adeline Korchinsky of Calgary, Edwin (Arlene) Majeski of Viking, Ruth (Ken) Charters of Edmonton, Norman (Joan) Majeski of Edmonton, Linda Alm of Kelowna, BC and Dwayne (Lucy) Majeski of Edmonton; and numerous nieces and nephews. Art was predeceased by his parents August and Olga Majeski; and siblings Edmund Majeski, Gertrude Thompson and Myrna Majeski. Art always made time for family and friends and demonstrated kindness and generosity to those who knew him. The family would like to thank the staff at Louise Jensen Care Centre (Lilac Cottage) for the care and attention that was given to Art during his stay there. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, from Burgar Memorial Chapel, 4817-51 Avenue Camrose with Rev. Terry Fossen officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

CCHS Trojans football team battles snow, Lakers By Murray Green
The Camrose Composite High School Trojans lost a 28-7 game to Drayton Valley on Sept. 21. Camrose faced the Warriors under the lights and in the snow. The Warriors were able to get outside the Trojan defence on their fly sweep offence and put up 205 yards rushing with four touchdowns on the ground. “The Trojan pass coverage held the Warriors to 41 yards through the air. Leaders on defence were strong side linebacker Noah Segal with seven tackles and two assists,” said coach Adam Belanger. Corbin Matson on the other side of the linebacker corps had six tackles, two assists, a forced fumble and a quarterback sack. Aiden Brown had four tackles, three assists and an interception from his safety spot. The highlight for the Trojans was a 70 yard interception return from half back Brock Dalke, which turned out to be the lone Trojans score. Segal added the point after. “The Trojans weren’t able to get their offence going with some misplays and costly penalties that stalled offensive drives that was led by rookie quarterback Drew Forster.” Forster showed his illusiveness, as he lead the team in rushing with 46 yards on the ground. The Trojan pass game was unable to establish itself with only one completion to slot receiver Dalke. The Trojans are home with the Stettler Wildcats here on Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. The last away date is on Oct. 4 in Rocky Mountain House.

Kodiaks win in overtime By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks won their first game of the season with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Okotoks Oilers on Sept. 21. Damon Zimmer scored a hat trick (three goals) and he added an assist to lead Kodiaks on offence. Zach Vinnell scored the first goal of the game for the Kodiaks on the power play. Okotoks scored later in the period to even the score. Zimmer put Camrose back in the lead before the Oilers netted two tallies. Zimmer then garnered another power play marker in the third frame to force overtime. He took matters into his own hands and collected the winner. Goalie Luke Lush made 38 of 41 saves in the Camrose net. The Kodiaks registered 22 shots on goal. Bear facts
The Kodiaks have had good fan support for the first two home games with 1,144 on the first night and just over 1,100 in the second. Camrose hosts the Sherwood Park Crusaders on Oct. 7 at 2 p.m. in the Encana Arena. After two games in Canmore, the Kodiaks are home to Brooks on Oct. 16, Olds on Oct. 19 and Okotoks on Oct. 21.

The hockey players helped usher patrons, sell refreshments, but most significantly paraded into the theatre to help Stompin Taw Connors sing and clap to the good old “Hockey Song.” They received a standing ovation for both the performer and the hockey team. Taw commented that he had been on the road across Canada since May and no venue included a hockey team and he thought that was a fantastic idea.

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.

Citizen reports suspect Oct. 1
Camrose Police Services received a complaint of a suspicious vehicle in the east end industrial area. The male who was driving the vehicle was observed looking into a fenced compound. The male, who was known to police, was spoken to and did not have a legitimate reason for being there so he was sent on his way. A west end business contacted police to report that two youth entered the store with a backpack and left with unknown items. Shortly after the incident the youth who had been identified, posted the stolen items for sale on social media. Police are working with the involved families. Sept. 30
A vehicle stop conducted resulted in a 33-yearold male and a 33-year-old female being charged with possession of cocaine and methamphetamine. Both were charged accordingly and released to appear in Provincial Court. A 39-year-old male was arrested for theft from a west end business. The male was charged and released to appear in court. Sept. 29
A male was stopped for speeding and found to have recently consumed alcohol. A roadside screening test was completed resulting in a caution reading. The GDL driver, as per Provincial legislation, was given a 30 day driving suspension and his vehicle was towed. Police attended a location after a citizen located a box of mail from residents in a town north of Camrose. The RCMP, who were investigating a recent break and enter in that area, were advised and the mail is being returned to the proper owners. Sept. 28
Police received multiple 911 calls of a hit and run collision on 53 Street followed by the vehicle fleeing the scene. The vehicle was located in the industrial area and a male was located nearby who was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Several hours later police received two additional complaints of hit and run collisions, which are believed to be related. Police are investigating and charges are pending. A loss prevention officer at a west end business reported that a male had stolen a Bluetooth speaker. The male was served with a two year trespass notice prohibiting him from returning to the store.

Always better – always better read
Battle River School Division has had a great year of learning
We are all learners! Students in Battle River schools learn and grow every single day. We’re pleased to be able to say that the adults in our school division are always learning, too. Welcome to Bashaw School! Students greeted parents at an Open House.
Students love to welcome special guests to read with them.
The 2017-2018 school year brought an increased focus on teaching and learning, in order for staff to do an ever-better job of helping students to succeed. Through ongoing professional development and staff collaboration, BRSD has continued to strive to meet the vision of Every Student, Every Day, A Success. Each school in the division has a long list of ways in which both students and staff have increased their skills and abilities; developed positive relationships and learned new perspectives during the most recent school year.
You don’t have to be grown up to help people learn. Babies are teachers, too!
Big kids helping younger kids master new skills.
Students and staff are all actively learning. These pages highlight just a small sampling of the different ways in which everyone in Battle River School Division is celebrating success. Pink Shirt Day helps emphasize the importance of treating everyone with dignity and respect.

GUIDED BY THE
Everyday 4 Everyone who works in Battle River School Division is focused on the same four main priorities. These priorities are such a big part of the day-to-day work that the school division refers to them as the Everyday 4. They reflect what we do in our school division each and every day, in order to help students succeed.
1. Welcoming and Caring 2. Literacy 3. Numeracy 4. Teaching and Learning You’ll see these priorities highlighted throughout the school division and they help us all to remember why we do what we do. Whether someone is teaching a class, taking part in a PD session, driving a bus, answering the phone and greeting visitors, processing payroll, sweeping a floor, fixing a laptop, supporting students in building basic skills, checking the fire extinguisher, updating a website, managing a challenging family situation or paying the bills, it’s all part of the Everyday 4.
THE EVERYDAY 4
Welcoming and Caring
Creating welcoming, caring and safe environments in which all students and staff feel comfortable to learn and work
We’re getting a new school! It was a day of celebration in March 2018 when Premier Rachel Notley and Minister of Education David Eggen came to announce funding had been approved for the replacement of Chester Ronning School. Though this Camrose elementary school is well cared for and looks great, the building’s infrastructure is crumbling and is in dire need of replacement. The new school will be built on the same grounds, which means students will get to watch the building go up over the next few years.
Battle River welcomes the world Students from around the world choose Battle River as a great place to go to school. They come to learn about our culture and our language, as well as participate in academic classes. Thanks to the work of our International Studies recruitment process, we’ve been fortunate to have students from other countries join every high school in our division over the last year. These students help our schools stay full, enrich the culture and the learning of our students and also pay a full tuition, which bolsters our BRSD budget.
Hearing from those who know The work of Battle River School Division is enriched by the voice of students, through our SAVY group. SAVY (Student-led Advocates for the Voice of Youth) meets regularly to discuss how things are going in the division and does a great job of representing the needs of students. In the 2017-2018 school year, SAVY students led consultations and hosted events in their schools to encourage and support high school students in managing stress during exam season.

THE EVERYDAY 4
Literacy Supporting literacy development at all grade levels
Building basic skills from pre-school to Grade 12 It’s well documented that having basic literacy skills helps students get their schooling off to a good start. But we must also ensure building those skills continues to be a priority throughout a student’s educational journey. Battle River School Division has invested both time and dollars into resources for students at all age groups, as well as providing community information sessions for parents, to share tips for getting their pre-schoolers interested in learning to read.
THE EVERYDAY 4
Numeracy Supporting numeracy development at all grade levels
We are all math people! There is an old school of thought that each of us is either a “numbers person” or we are not. Here in Battle River we’re working to debunk that myth, by promoting the concept that we are all math people! Numeracy – working with numbers and number concepts – is an important part of being able to function in the world and our priority is to help everyone master these skills.
THE EVERYDAY 4
Teaching and Learning
Creating and sustaining a culture that supports evidence-informed teaching and learning for all students and staff
Helping adults learn new skills, so they can help students succeed The 2017-2018 school year brought an increased focus on professional development and staff collaboration, with a goal of having each member of our school teams gain new skills and ideas for helping students to succeed. There are even 40 staff members attending college during their professional development days, to earn a diploma as an Educational Assistant. BRSD is working with Red Deer College to provide this training.

Where did the money go in 2017-2018?
6.23%
3.52%
1.77% Instruction – 75.35%
Battle River School Division works hard to ensure resources are allocated in ways that serve the best interests of students. That’s why more than 75% of the $87 million in expenditures for the 2017-2018 school year went directly to student instruction. That amount includes the cost of ensuring schools have adequate staff, that there are specialized programs available to meet student needs and that our technology and learning resources are continually updated. A further 6.2 percent of expenditures was budgeted to transport children to and from school each day. Operating and maintaining school facilities, creating positive environments in which students and staff can spend their days, accounted for another 12.1% of budgeted spending. Over 1.7 percent was directed to external services, which includes providing mental health and personal support programs for students, as well as promoting our schools and programs internationally, in order to welcome students from across the globe to join us here in Battle River.

We’re here to listen The Battle River School Division Board of Trustees was elected in October 2017, to serve a four-year term. Six of the eight board members were new and have just completed their first year in their role. Kendall Severson, Chair Norm Erickson, Vice Chair City of Camrose Camrose County South nerickson@brsd.ab.ca kseverson@brsd.ab.ca
It’s been a steep learning curve this year, but one thing each Trustee knows for sure is that part of their job is to listen and understand concerns raised by members of the community. At the fall organizational meeting, the Board selects a Chair and Vice Chair for the year ahead. In the 2017-2018 school year, long-time Board member Kendall Severson fulfilled the role of Chair, with Norm Erickson acting as Vice Chair. The executive committee will be different for the year ahead. Please feel free to contact members of the Board through the email addresses listed here.
