Pharmacist Neil MacMillan with Karen Cruz showing that immunizations are quick and virtually pain free.
According to the provincial health department, influenza immunizations are down one percent year over year. This is of concern, considering scientific data that suggests this year’s formula is likely to be highly effective. Physicians and pharmacists remind you that everyone six months and older should get the flu shot. The flu shot is your best defence against the flu. It can save lives – yours and others. If you are exposed to the virus, this vaccine should prevent you from getting very sick. And when you have the flu shot, you will be helping protect other people because you are less likely to spread the virus. Immunization is safe. It is much safer to get immunized than it is to get this disease.

Can anyone be a Philanthropist?
ABSOLUTELY!
Philanthropy is a marvelous quality that we all have within us. It’s a generosity of spirit, a desire to help, and a firm belief that you can make a real difference in your community regardless of how much or how little you have to give. Bonnie and Alex Oliver, philanthropists, have the spirit. They are shown in conversation with Leon Lohner, Director of the Battle River Community Foundation. When Bonnie and Alex Oliver arrived in Camrose in 1971, they soon realized that Camrose was a generous and compassionate city. As former teachers, they were impressed with the Reading University program first set up in 2009. Reading University is a four-week summer program intended to increase the literacy skills of children in Grades 2 and 3 who are not yet reading at grade level. They know the
vital importance of excellent reading skills as the groundwork to anyone’s future – be it for business or leisure. It was this program that inspired them to contribute to the Camrose Community Foundation. The Battle River Community Foundation can help you fulfill your philanthropic dream – big or small – right here at home. We can help you make your dream a reality. Philanthropy resides in everyone, and together we can make it flourish right here in our own backyard. Contributions received before year end, will receive a charitable donation receipt that can be applied against your 2018 income taxes.

ere’s what Camrose Primary Care Network can do to better you and your family’s health:
Four Provincial Objectives of Primary Care Networks: a. Accountable and effective governance – Establish clear and effective governance roles, structures and processes that support shared accountability and the evolution of primary healthcare delivery.
b. Strong partnerships and transitions of care – Coordinate, integrate and partner with health services and other social services across the continuum of care.
c. Health needs of the community and population – Plan service delivery on high quality assessments of the community’s needs through community engagement and assessment of appropriate evidence.
How the Camrose PCN connects to these four objectives
health home to ensure Albertans have access to the right services through the establishment of multidisciplinary teams that provide comprehensive primary care.
a. The Camrose PCN is led by a board of directors that includes Physician Lead, Dr. Nichol and Directors, Dr. Bredesen, Dr. Pasha, Dr. Smith and Dr. Minders. Together, with Executive Director, Stacey L. Strilchuk and Clinical Director, Colleen McKinstry, the board oversees the day-to-day operations of the PCN in response to the heathcare needs of our communities.
b. By connecting multiple healthcare and community organizations, the Camrose PCN is able to commit to programming such as the Camrose In-Patient Care program, where physicians at St. Mary’s Hospital are in constant communication with patients’ family doctors to make sure that care pre-, during, and post-hospital stay is consistent and comprehensive.
c. Camrose, Bashaw, Daysland, Forestburg, and Hardisty are distinct and unique communities. The Camrose PCN works diligently to ensure that the programming of our clinics matches their needs. Executive Director Stacey Strilchuk is a regular at town governance meetings to explain what Camrose PCN offers and gets feedback from leadership within our catchment area.
Camrose PCN programs:
The Geriatric Assessment & Fall Prevention Program: For seniors over 65 who experience
Prevention & Chronic Disease Management: Behavioural health
falls, memory loss, decreased mobility, bladder concerns or difficulty coping in their community. Patients are assessed and cared for by a multidisciplinary team whose goal is to keep seniors healthy and at home using a wholistic approach to care.
consultants, dietitians, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and exercise specialists in partnership with the patient and their family doctor work together to prevent, educate, and manage chronic conditions such as COPD, hypertension and diabetes by monitoring and advising on blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight management.
Youth & Young Adult Care: Focuses on
Palliative & End of Life Care Navigator Program: An extension of our Prevention & Chronic Disease Management program. Patients with chronic diseases that are life-limiting have access to this program as early as their first diagnosis. Here patients are connected to healthcare and community supports to help them create a care plan, manage their mental health, and increase their quality of life as much as possible. Patients and their families are paired with a navigator who guides them to the supports that adhere to their values and needs.
youth and emerging young adults aged 11-24 through two programs: Augustana Nurse Navigator and the Camrose & Area Integrated Youth Hub. The Augustana Nurse Navigator provides supports for students attending the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, located in Camrose. The nurse can answer questions and provide guidance regarding mental health, sexual health, and navigating the healthcare system. The Camrose & Area Integrated Youth Hub is a collaboration between multiple organizations to bring supports for youth and emerging young adults into a central, accessible Hub located in the Open Door in Camrose.
Prenatal Program: Patients are seen by a multidisciplinary team that includes nurses, behavioural health consultants and doctors who also deliver at St. Mary’s Hospital. Patients can be seen as soon as they find out that they are pregnant.

No time, memory and mental meandering
You know how you go online for a piece of information and something on a sidebar attracts your attention and that reminds you of something else and then you flip to social media and in “no time” (that is, when you lose touch with the passage of time) an hour has disappeared? On the way to this column I had one of those experiences. A short CBC item, “Internal Hard Drive: What’s lost when we forget to remember” started it. The article suggested that we use smart phones as an external hard drive for our memory. We rely on smartphones to remember everything from phone numbers to people’s birthdays. The article said, “Our reliance on portable technology has led some to argue that we’re losing our grasp of memory on a larger scale, and in turn, our hold on the foundations of knowledge.” Before writing was invented, the ability to memorize was crucial. Indigenous people had oral traditions to preserve tribal knowledge. In ancient Greece, memorizing was the basis of education. Scholars were expected to recite Homer’s epic poems, which would take more than 18 hours to recite. However, memorizing wasn’t just about pulling facts. It was a source for creating original ideas. When the Greek alphabet was created, scholars worried that reading and writing would cheapen knowledge; a method not for remembering, but for forgetting; for creating the illusion of knowledge. ***
Fast forward. In the 1960s, Canadian Marshall McLuhan (the medium is the message) wrote about how tools and technology can numb the parts of ourselves that we seek to extend. Example: When calculators were introduced, they were a great convenience. However, some people were concerned (accurately, as it turned out) that if we became too dependent on calculators without understanding mathematics, we’d not only lose our mathematical ability, but gradually we’d no longer be able to tell when a calculator’s answer didn’t make sense. The CBC article quotes Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, as saying, “Our ability to remember things seems to be reduced when we’re gathering information through our phones and through Google and off the web…On one hand, we have all this artificial memory that we can tap into…but we’re less likely to form our own personal internal biological memories of all that stuff so it numbs the memory faculty inside our minds.” Carr says the idea of technologies being “external hard drives” for our memories misunderstands how biological memory works. Our biological memories are rich with connections and associations. Computer memory just stores random bits of information.

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Important vote
Harry Gaede’s thoughtful letter regarding the importance of voting in the upcoming elections, especially as it pertains to environmental issues, is timely. His assertion that we are running out of time to reverse environmental degradation is also timely; however, I’m not sure that I share his optimism that homo sapiens have the innate ability to develop and implement policies that will solve our environmental dilemmas before the tipping point is reached. To date, in the minds of politicians and voters, the battle of economy versus environment has been a lopsided one. Please consider that it has been 48 years since Dr. Dennis Meadows and his team of scientists at MIT first raised the alarm about climate change, renewable and non-renewable resource depletion, population growth and curbing pollution in their report entitled Limits to Growth. During that time, Canadian politics at the federal and provincial level has been permeated by an anti-science bias mainly supported by the political and religious right. This bias has covered the range from climate change denial, to discrediting eminent scientists like Dr. David Schindler to outright muzzling of scientists in government departments of health, fisheries and agriculture. I would suggest that Canadian voters should look to political party platforms that emulate governmental policies currently in place in Europe, Asia and Africa as important steps. For example, in Norway, Holland and
Denmark; plus select Asian countries the role of pure and applied research and science and technology has been foundation of the economy not only to develop alternative energy, but to diversify economies, manage their resources in a fiscally responsible manner while sustaining the environment and providing high tech jobs for young postsecondary graduates. By contrast, Canadian policies during the past 60 years have reduced spending on applied research and development and relied upon the expedient business as usual approach. In short, Canada exports raw resources rather cheaply and buys back high-tech consumer goods in return…not an especially sensible approach to international trade balances especially as it suppresses economic diversification with the resultant loss of good jobs for youth. As you contemplate your voting options, look past the divisive, populist rhetoric and review the importance of science and technology and the role of education and training in every party’s policy platform coupled with their historical track record. Lynn Clark, Camrose USMC agreement
MP Sorenson, in his column in the Nov. 6 issue (Camrose Booster), criticizes the USMC Agreement. He neglects that this is the result of negotiation. Negotiation means that neither party will get everything it desires. When dealing with the United States, it must be realized that the U.S. has almost 10 times as many people as does
Canada and its economy is at least ten times the size of Canada’s; hence it has great bargaining power. President Trump opposes trade agreements. The U.S. began the negotiations with a series of demands which would have seriously undermined the existing agreement. His demands included ending the independent review procedure so that any dispute would go before American courts and we know how fair Republican appointed judges are, ending supply management of dairy and poultry products, ending free trade in automobiles, ending protection of cultural industries and much else. The Canadian government and its negotiations stood up for Canadian interest and refused to be pushed around, much to the displeasure of the Americans. The result is the USMC Agreement. Yes, Canada made some concessions, but the independent review system remains, cultural industries remain protected, the quota for duty free automobiles from Canada is raised. We did agree to allow a slight increase in duty free American dairy products allowed into Canada; raising to three per cent after 10 years, hardly an industry destroying increase. This agreement is superior to an ending of the existing agreement, which was a possibility. Even non-liberals, if they maintain open minds, will realize this is the best deal that could be obtained. Remember who the president of the United States is. Ron Williams, Camrose
***
That idea caused me to remember, vaguely, a quote from Nobel prize-winning scientist Albert Einstein–something about not cluttering up our minds with things we can look up. I Googled to see if I could find the original quote and–in no time– I’d meandered through all kinds of interesting things about Einstein. The downside: a couple of hours had evaporated and the column wasn’t started. In the spirit of sharing (or possibly causing you too to be distracted) here’s the quote, along with a couple of others I really appreciated. In response to not knowing the speed of sound, Einstein said, “[I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books.” Three other Einstein quotes I appreciated: “Education is not the learning of facts, it’s rather the training of the mind to think.” “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.” “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” My take from all this: Technology is a good servant and bad master. ***

The Camrose Kinette Club is preparing for its annual toy drive on Nov. 24. This year’s event will be held from noon until 4 p.m. at the Camrose License and Registry office parking lot, as it has been for the past several years. “We’re excited to host this event and bring the community together in the spirit of giving. Silent Santa is vital to so many families. It’s a great project to be a part of. The Camrose Kinette Club has been working with Neighbor Aid and the Merry Christmas Cheer Fund for almost 60 years providing for families who find Christmas a tough time. We do our best to pack according to age and gender,” said club president Amanda Dyer. The club, 10 strong, will be on hand to accept your donations of new, unwrapped gifts. As well, the club will be accepting cash donations. “We always seem to have a shortage of gifts for children 12 to 17. It’s an area where our cash donations are used to purchase gifts for older children.” Gift giving ideas for older children include items such as socks, hair brushes, toothbrushes, hygiene kits, soccer balls, footballs, mittens, hats, scarves, crazy carpets, books, art sets and family board games. No donation is too small. If you would like to know more about the Camrose Kinette Club or would like to become a member, call 780-678-4496; new members are always welcome. You can also find us on Facebook. To receive a toy hamper or food hamper, call Neighbor Aid at 780-6793220. All information is kept confidential.
Drunk male gets rowdy Nov. 9
A female contacted Camrose Police to report that her intoxicated common-law partner became out of control and was now throwing beer cans onto the roadway. The male had left the residence but was located by police a short distance away. The 52-year-old was arrested to prevent further breach of the peace and was later released when sober.

Temperatures drop, vehicle thefts rise By Lori Larsen
Along with the colder temperatures comes a noticeable increase in vehicle thefts, with suspects looking for warm transportation, victims are far too often willing to oblige by not taking extra precautions in securing their vehicle. “Last year, November and December were the peak months for vehicle thefts in Camrose,” noted Camrose Police Service crime prevention/community relations officer, Constable Kelly Bauer. “Idling vehicles create an easy opportunity for someone to steal your ride.” In 2017, there were 66 occurrences of stolen vehicles in Camrose. “We are on pace to equal those numbers in 2018,” said Bauer. “Which is twice the number of vehicles that were stolen in our city just three or four years ago.” Auto theft is one of the most frequent police reported offences in Canada, with a vehicle theft occurring every seven minutes and Constable Bauer indicated that Camrose is no exception, in that vehicle theft is one of the main issues they deal with. “Anyone, anywhere in the City can be victimized and in the majority of the cases it is preventable.” Bauer explained three of the a main motives for stealing a vehicle include transportation from one city to another, use in committing other crimes such as robberies or break and enters, or for dismantling and selling parts (chop shops). If you are curious as to whether or not you may be at risk of having your vehicle stolen, Constable Bauer suggests the following will help protect your property. Always lock your vehicle when unattended. Remove valuables from your vehicle. “Many vehicles are stolen while suspects are stealing change from the ashtray and find a spare set of keys or press the start button and your key fob is in the vehicle.” Park in a locked
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service warn residents that November and December are peak months for vehicle theft. Always lock your vehicle when it is unattended and prevent yourself from becoming victim to vehicle theft.
garage (where possible) or a well-lit area and consider installing security lighting around home. If you park inside a garage don’t assume your vehicle is secure. Remove your keys and lock the vehicle and the garage. Avoid leaving your vehicle idling while unattended. That minute you take to run into a house or business will be the 30 seconds a thief needs to drive away with your vehicle. You may as well have handed them the keys. Consider purchasing an anti-theft device or security system for your vehicle, especially if it is parked outside most of the time. In some instances you may fall victim merely
because of the type of vehicle you drive. “The most commonly stolen vehicle is a 2002-07 Ford F250 or F350,” said Bauer. “I often hear people say, ‘I leave my vehicle unlocked because if they want it they will steal it anyway,’” reported Bauer. “In the vast majority of the thefts, criminals don’t want to steal your vehicle, they just want to steal ‘a’ vehicle. So why make it easy for them?” During an investigation of a vehicle theft a few years back, Constable Bauer traced the suspect’s footprints in the snow where they had walked for a few blocks checking vehicles and garages until they found an unlocked vehicle
to steal. “It was an easy victim.” Relating another incident that occurred last year, Bauer reiterated the importance of securing your vehicle. “A woman who had left her vehicle unlocked and idling on her driveway for just a minute, returned outside to watch her vehicle being driven away. About a week later the vehicle was recovered in another community. When her vehicle was returned to her, the interior was a total disaster. There were several break-in tools left in her vehicle, stolen property, bottles, food wrappers, cigarette butts and drug paraphernalia. The vehicle clearly had been driven hard, slept in, eaten
in, smoked and used drugs in and was also used for criminal activity. “This woman’s vehicle, which she took so much pride in, had been returned but would never be the same.” Although you may not be the direct victim of vehicle theft, we all pay in the long run through increased insurance rates and the costs of investigations. It’s estimated that vehicle theft costs Canadians $500 million a year. For more tips on preventing auto theft visit the Insurance Bureau of Canada website at http://www.ibc.ca/on/ auto/theft. Do your part in protecting what is rightfully yours and help prevent yourself from becoming a victim.

Movember, aka November, sees women and men across the globe joining together to raise awareness and funds on men’s mental and physical health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. The initiative has men, beginning on Nov. 1 cleanshaven, nix the beards and moustaches, then taking the next 30 days of November to grow, groom then gloat about having the best moustache. Locally, Camrose Police Service Deputy Chief Lee Foreman was challenged by his sons, Jackson, Taylor and Connor to “face” up to raising funds for this initiative and encourage other men to get on board, to take their health seriously and to build awareness among themselves, friends and family. “I believe that together we can make a difference in men’s health, whether it be in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health or suicide prevention. So we came up with ‘The Foreman’s Four Men for Men’ team to do our part.” The Foreman men encourage people to consider making a donation to assist them, and all Movember participants, in achieving their goals. Support Movember and be a part of ensuring men’s health remains in the forefront of everyone’s minds. For more information on Movember, visit the website at https:// ca.movember.com/.

In June of this year, Allen and Anna Grahn, of Ferintosh, travelled to Scotland, along with their son Andrew. The weather was beautiful and driving on the left side of the road was, shall we say, exciting. One of the highlights, (since Nessie never did put in an appearance in nearby Loch Ness) was to tour the Ferintosh district of northern Scotland, near the town of Dingwall. Ferintosh, the village near Camrose, was named after this area, and perhaps the famous distillery that was once there. To “go to Ferintosh” was an invitation to have a drink of whiskey. The church in the picture is in Conon Bridge, a town close to Dingwall and, as it says, is a part of the Ferintosh Parish. Anna and Allen are studying The Booster while Andrew took the picture.

Erratic driving Nov. 8
While conducting patrols Camrose Police observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed, start to fishtail and then almost hit the opposite curb. The vehicle was stopped and the male driver, who refused to exit his vehicle, had to be removed from the driver’s seat. The 43-year-old was believed to be under the influence of methamphetamine and consequently issued a 24 hour license suspension and his vehicle was towed. He was also issued a violation ticket for careless driving.

She indicated that since April this year, the new board has effected changes with staffing including reducing one full time employee administrative staff, hiring a new coordinator (previous one resigned), recruiting two part-time casual drivers in order to increase flexibility and lower overtime costs, using temporary layoff of one full time employee driver during reduced service requirement period

Society president Linda Rowswell made a presentation to City of Camrose Council on Oct. 15, on what the new Handivan Society board has done thus far in an effort to get finances in line and proposed suggestions of support they would appreciate from the City of Camrose, in order to assist in keeping the Handivan service on the road. “We believe that we are now in a situation that with some support from our partners, we can become a strong organization that provides safe and
(July/August) and resolving many personnel issues. Councillor Max Lindstrand commended Rose City Handivan Society for years of good work in the City and commented on how he looks forward to future collaboration and cooperation between the City and the Handivan Society. “I appreciate the Handivan Society is having some tough times (financial) and the fleet is getting run down. Public transportation costs money and it doesn’t surprise me that your average rider
costs $12–and you are only charging $4.” Lindstrand indicated that the City has to be prepared to subsidize the service in order for the organization to work and cautioned the Handivan Society to not price themselves out of reach for the people they are trying to serve. C it y m a n a ger Malcolm Boyd inquired as to whether or not the board had a longer term view (2020-21) of how often bus replacements are going to be required and what portion of those costs would be funded by the Handivan Society, versus what the City should keep in its capital planning. “We are trying to work on a three-year business plan so that information would be important.” Rowswell indicated that there will be a need to replace more vans on an ongoing basis and that the vehicles typically last between two to three years before needing replacement. She told Boyd that the society will share the information about ongoing van replacement in the grant proposal. She also indicated that the society is looking beyond the present services offered to residents through the Handivan and possibly expanding to include more hours of operation, in order to fullfil the needs of residents requiring cost efficient transportation. Councillor Kevin Hycha added that it may mean more than just replacing vans every three years, that there may be the feasibility of adding more vehicles to the fleet to better serve the growing needs in the community.

Green wins aggregate at Canadian Finals Rodeo By Murray Green
Clay Elliott was crowned the saddle bronc riding champion, but it was Layton Green of Meeting Creek who was named the aggregate winner at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Red Deer on Nov. 4. Green rode all six horses he drew at the f inals, with scores of 80.5, 77, 81.25, 82.25, 82.25 a nd 79.75 to almost match his winnings up to the finals. He made $21,374 prior to the finals and ended up with $42,029 after the weekend. Justin Berg of Camrose didn’t fair as well with four rides and two bucked-off rounds. Zeke
Layton Green
Thurston of Big Valley had four rides, but had two first place showings and a second. Clint Laye of Cado-
gan stayed on five horses in bareback and Bashaw cowboy Jacob Stemo rode all six he got on, for
about $ 21,000 for the week. In bull riding, Layton’s brother Garrett Green, of Meeting Creek, won the first round, but could only add two more in the week. He was still able to collect $15,660 for his efforts. Riley Warren of Stettler roped six calves to place eighth and take home about $13,000. Curtis Cassidy of Donalda only caught three calves, but still paid his bills with $11,600 in take home pay. Both Cody and Curtis Cassidy of Donalda caught all six calves in the steer wrestling. Curtis picked up $20,000 to place fourth overall on
the year. Scott Guenthner of Provost won the event with about $ 31,000 in earnings in Red Deer. Calla ha n Crossley of Oregon earned more than $73,000 in the week to win the barrel racing event. Rene Leclercq of Holden turned in a f ifth place showing to take home $1,080. Diane Skocdopole of Big Valley cashed in about $24,000 at the Centrium, in Westerner Park, in Red Deer. Ca m rose brothers Justin and Brett McCarroll earned more than $ 8,000 each in team roping by roping five of six calves. They had two fourth place winnings.
Harpdog Brown brings uptown blues to Bailey Theatre By Murray Green
The Rose City Roots Music Society brought in Harpdog Brown to hold a celebration night of blues at the Bailey Theatre, on Friday, Nov. 23 beginning at 8 p.m. Harpdog earned a reputation as a real-deal purveyor of classic electric H a r p dog Brown
blues. His Uptown Blues Band has a vintage New Orleans Blues sound featuring slide trombone, keyboards, bass, drums and may include a sax and clarinet. They perform mostly originals, yet they often include great songs of the masters from Louis Jordan, Satchmo, Sonny Boy
Williamson, Wynonie Harris, even Duke Ellington. Vancouver-based blues artist Harpdog has long been called a Blues Evangelist, and that’s a very fitting moniker. “I speak the blues like it’s the truth, and it is,” he said. “I do feel like I’m a servant of the people. A missionary if you will. Music can heal people if they pay attention to the messages in these songs.” On Oct. 17, Harpdog released new video for the track “Reefer Lovin’ Woman” from his forthcoming album (spring 2019). Timing could not be more perfect for him, as that was the day that marijuana became legal for of-age Canadians. Harpdog is a gifted vocalist and an imaginative harmonica player who has earned a solid repu-
tation as a real-deal purveyor of classic electric blues, reminiscent of the old Chess Records and Sun Records of the late ‘40s and early ‘50s. Maple Blues Awards have named him Harmonica Player of the Year for three consecutive years. He was recently inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in his hometown of Edmonton. He is a JUNO nominee and still the only Canadian artist to hold the coveted Muddy Award from the Cascade Blues Society. He is a gifted singer and an imaginative harmonica player and he’s been a pillar of the Canadian Blues scene for over 30 years. He released his new album, Travelin’ With The Blues in 2018. This album features some of the greatest blues musicians in the
US today, and that includes a duelling harmonica tune with his dear friend Charlie Musselwhite. After the release of his ground-breaking album What It Is, Harpdog was named Harmonica Player of the Year. Front of stage often includes a ‘51 Masco PA and his harp amps are ‘52 Mascos. He often sings through a vintage Turner mic, if the acoustics permit. There is simply nobody doing it like this. You’ll hear plenty of originals, but you’ll hear them with that old-school sound. For good measure, they love to include a few songs by the masters as well. And that’s why his audiences rave about the authentic experience this show delivers.

Lindhout inspires others to be strong By Murray Green
The Bethany Group’s Faith and Aging event had a full house at the Norsemen Inn, listening to guest speaker Amanda Lindhout reveal her kidnapping experience and how faith carried her through her ordeal. Amanda born in Red Deer, now 37, told her story that led her to write a very moving book. On Aug. 23, 2008, she and members of her entourage were kidnapped by Islamist insurgents in southern Somalia. She was released 15 months later on Nov. 25, 2009. In 2013, she released the book, A House in the Sky: A Memoir, in which she recounts her early life, travels as a young adult, and hostage experience. In 2014, the book was optioned to become a major motion picture. “I’ve learned that since sharing my story, there seems to be real value for other people. It’s not just a sensational story. I can teach people about resilience and finding the strength that is inside all of us to get through a really hard time,” explained Amanda. “Nobody else in the room has been kidnapped except me, but everyone understands suffering. It might look different, but I think when people hear me talk they end up thinking about their own lives. Hopefully, they leave my talk with tools on how to better deal with that and remind them of their own strength.” At the age of 24, Amanda quit her job as a cocktail waitress to become a journalist. She used her salary from the bar where she worked to finance reporting trips to various conflict zones around the world. She began her journalism career in Afghanistan, arriving in the capital Kabul, in May 2007. She later moved on to an assignment in Baghdad, Iraq in January 2008, where she worked on a freelance basis for Iran’s state television Press TV. She was taken to the Sadr Party Headquarters and questioned about her political affiliations. “I knew that I had lived through an extraordinary experience and learned through the resilience that is inside of us. People talked to me about writing a book when I first came back, but I wasn’t well enough physically. A year later, I decided to share my experiences.” At the time of her abduction in Somalia, she was reportedly not affiliated with any news organi-

zation other than the Red Deer Advocate. On Aug. 23, 2008, two days after having arrived in Mogadishu, Amanda and Nigel Brennan, a 37-year-old freelance Australian photojournalist from Brisbane, were kidnapped along with their Somali translator Abdifatah Mohammed Elmi, their driver Mahad Isse, and a driver from the Shamo Hotel, Marwali. “When people hear what happened to me, they often say you are stronger than me, I couldn’t have survived that. I don’t think that is true. I had the opportunity to go through it to see what I was made of. People don’t understand that unless they have had to apply it to their life,” shared Amanda. They were on their way to conduct interviews at an internally displaced person (IDP) camp when they were stopped by gunmen. The abductors were teenage insurgents from the Hizbul Islam fundamentalist group. While in captivity, they were separated and subsequently raped and tortured repeatedly. On Sept. 17, Al Jazeera featured footage of her and Brennan in captivity surrounded by gunmen. The kidnappers demanded a ransom of US $2.5 million by Oct. 28. On Feb. 23, 2009, the Canadian Association of Journalists urged Prime Minister Stephen Harper to help secure the release of Amanda and Khadija Abdul Qahaar, a Canadian woman who was kidnapped in November. Elmi and the two drivers were released earlier. The kidnappers later lowered the ransom demand to $1 million. “Every single time I have the opportunity to share my story, I reconnect myself, in prayer, to share the truth of my life

experience. When I’m on stage, I’m vulnerable for me to feel the truth of my own story. Tears come to my eyes, but I know that is a good thing. It’s not just words, I’m feeling what is happening to me and what is real,” said Amanda. On June 10, 2009, CTV News received a phone call from a tearful Lindhout who seemed to be reading a statement: “My name is Amanda Lindhout and I am a Canadian citizen and I’ve been held hostage by gunmen in Somalia for nearly 10 months. I’m in a desperate situation. I’m being kept in a dark, windowless room in chains without any clean drinking water and little or no food. I’ve been very sick for
months without any medicine. I love my country and want to live to see it again. Without food or medicine, I will die here.” On Nov. 25, 2009, after 460 days as a hostage, Amanda and Brennan were released following a ransom payment made by their families through a private firm. She was hospitalized in Nairobi for two weeks and treated for acute malnourishment. On June 12, 2015, the RCMP announced the arrest of Ali Omar Ader, in Ottawa, describing him as the main negotiator in the hostage-taking of her and Brennan. This year on June 18, Ader was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the kidnapping.
“As I tell the story I recall more things to share and I have learned to be okay with sharing that part of my life with people.” In 2013, Amanda released a memoir, cowritten with journalist Sara Corbett, recounting her experience as a hostage. She indicated in the book that her motive for travelling to Somalia in the midst of an insurgency was the dearth of competition from other journalists covering the region, as well as the possibility of documenting unique human interest stories. “When people come up and give me a hug, or tell me their story, it makes me feel so much better.”

Nice Horse making a name for themselves By Murray Green
Nice Horse has impressed so many fans and other artists that they have been asked to open for some of the biggest names in country music. In Camrose, they will be appearing before the Washboard Union show at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. The Calgary-based band are 2018 CCMA Award nominees who are embarking on a Canadian tour with GRAMMY Award winning Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and CCMA Group Of
The Year The Washboard Union. Coming off the release of their debut album There Goes The Neighborhood, the all-girl country rock band are ready to hit the stage for their fans. Comprised of Brandi Sidoryk (vocals, bass), Katie Rox (vocals, banjo, acoustic guitar), Krista Wodelet (vocals, drums), Tara McLeod (electric guitar), Nice Horse is the result of four bold women joining forces to create all-girl powerhouse band. “Playing in Camrose at the Big Valley Jamboree was a pretty special show for us because it was the
first full outdoor concert we ever played,” said Brandi. “We were so new, but the people at Big Valley just trusted us to put on a good show and it meant a lot to us. It feels like home here.” They played two years later with great support again. “It means we did a good job the first time,” added Katie. “We have been touring like crazy. After playing here the first time we went on a major tour with Tom Cochrane and things have ramped up since then,” said Krista. Last summer, they opened for Florida Georgia
Line. “How cool is that! I think it is amazing and we have been lucky to play some great bands. When you go to festivals, you have the best bands available. Some of those bands inspire us and give us new ideas,” added Katie. Winners of the CMT Fresh Face Feature Artist, nominated for CCMA Interactive Artist or Group of the Year and making into the top three finalists for Alberta’s prestigious project WILD, the ladies of Nice Horse have shown no hints of slowing down. They have also performed on big stag-
es including the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose. “The intimate shows in a theatre are great shows too, in a different way. Playing in front of Washboard Union means a lot to us because we toured with them before and they were dear friends of ours,” said Katie. “Our energy comes across on stage because we have a lot of fun and we are all friends. That comes through whether we are playing in a festival or in a theatre. We love what we do,” said Brandi. Continued on page 18

Ed Sullivan Show returns By Murray Green
Live from the Bailey Theatre studio in downtown Camrose, its the Ed Sullivan Show. The popular variety show will be returning for two encore shows on Nov. 17 and 18. The first show last spring was sold out and this version will be even
bigger and better. “This year, Dale Adam will be our host and we have a good lineup of local talent in the show,” said Dan Olofson, one of the producers of the show. Last year, some people who wanted to go couldn’t get tickets, so the decision was made to hold two shows. The Saturday per-
formance is at 8 p.m. and Sunday, it will be the same show beginning at 2 p.m. The show features local talent on stage in a similar format that made the Ed Sullivan Show famous on television from 1948 to 1971. Rumour has it that Mick Jagger, Leslie Gore, Patsy Cline, Frankie Valli, and Connie Francis have been booked. Local talent includes Cory Vanderjagt, Brittany Catherine, Kim Meyer, Brian Dumont and Marj Pudlowski. The performers will be
backed by the Ed Sullivan Band featuring Jordan Leden, Jim Hough, Robin Eklund and Dan Olofson. The Joel Gray Horns featuring Don Berner and Joel Gray himself will add a full sound to the band. Edward Vincent Sullivan (Sept. 28, 1901 to Oct. 13, 1974) was an American television personality, sports and entertainment reporter, and syndicated columnist for the New York Daily News and the Chicago Tribune. He is principally remembered as the creator and host of the

“I find we get to do more story telling in a theatre-type atmosphere because people are relaxed and really want to listen to what we have to say. You get to connect with the audience and you can share the stories that go with certain songs,” said Krista. Nice Horse plays their own instruments and writes songs as potent as “Jim, Jack, Johnnie & Jose,” the band’s roof-raising single “Pony Up” and the new feminist anthem “Mansplainin’.” “We’ve gotten to know Camrose and people here and they are like come over for dinner. We feel very welcome here,” said Krista. “My family lived in Lloydminster for a while, so we have driven through Camrose once a month pretty much my entire childhood. I also remember the swans in the park. It’s a place I know so well and its great to come back here,” said Brandi. “When we did the project Wild we met a lot of Alberta artists,” said Krista. There Goes The Neighborhood was produced by Jeff Dalziel (Washboard Union, Brett Kissel), along with the legendary Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue) on a couple of tracks. The band’s first major tour was as direct support for Canadian icon Tom Cochrane, and they’ve since opened for other industry heavyweights including Gord Bamford and Jess Moskaluke. They like to showcase their signature high-energy live show. “Our show is evolving all of the time, so we will have some new material for our friends in Camrose,” said Brandi.
television variety program The Toast of the Town, eventually renamed The Ed Sullivan Show. It was broadcast for 23 years and set a record as the longestrunning variety show in US broadcast history. “The funds generated from the Ed Sullivan Variety Show will go towards the Bailey Theatre to assist with costs of keeping the facility operating. The theatre brings in good shows over the year and we want that to continue downtown.”

Berg shares LUNCH & LEARN his talents Reconciling the Past for the Future: By Murray Green
Canadian bass-baritone Nathan Berg’s career has spanned a vast range of repertoire on the concert and operatic stage. His recent dramatic work has earned acclaim around the world. Berg will be sharing his music in Camrose at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 21 beginning at 7 p.m. He established himself as a specialist in the works of Wagner in the 2017-18 season. He is covering the roles of Alberich in the Metropolitan Opera’s complete Ring. In his vast range of styles and repertoire Berg is in demand by the world’s most distinguished conductors including Kurt Masur, Sir Andrew Davis, Hannu Lintu, Roger Norrington, Hans Graf, Donald Runnicles, Philippe Herreweghe, Vasily Petrenko, Vladimir Ashkenazy, and Michael Tilson Thomas. As a Grammy and Juno award-winning recording artist he has performed on over 30 recordings of works ranging from the 17th to 20th century with period to modern orchestras. Early in his career, Nathan Berg established his name as an outstanding interpreter of baroque and pre-classical music, both in concert and opera alongside major Mozart roles around the world. Notable amongst his many early recordings with Les Arts Florissants are Mozart’s Requiem and Handel’s Messiah and video recordings of Rameau’s Les Indes Galantes (Opéra de Paris) and Lully’s Armide (Théâtre des ChampsElysées). Other noteworthy earlier recordings are Dvorák’s Stabat Mater with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Peter Hall’s Glyndebourne Festival production of Rossini’s La Cenerentola as well as lieder recordings including songs by Othmar Schoeck and the album ‘Lieder Recital’ with pianist Julius Drake. Soon to be released are Rusalka (Vodnik) in DVD and Donna del Lago (Duglas) in CD. Born in Saskatchewan, Nathan Berg studied in Canada, the United States, Paris and at the Guildhall School of Music, London, where he won the prestigious gold medal for singers.

Washboard Union returns to Camrose By Murray Green
The Washboard Union have been hits in two different shows at the Big Valley Jamboree. Now you will get to see and listen to them in an intimate setting in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 20. What We’re Made Of is The Washboard Union’s sophomore album follow-
ing the 2016 release of In My Bones, which spawned the top 10 hits “Maybe It’s The Moonshine” and “Shot Of Glory” which was certified as the band’s first gold record. The second album was produced by Matt Rovey (Zac Brown Band, Dean Brody) in Nashville and Jeff “Diesel” Dalziel in Toronto and Vancouver over the winter of 2017-18. The album’s first single,
“Shine” was the band’s third top 10 country radio hit which they performed live on the Canadian Country Music Awards and walked away with a CCMA Award for 2017 Roots Artist of the Year. The Washboard Union have defied classification and have become one of the most exciting and talked about new bands in country music. Led by step-
brothers Aaron Grain and Chris Duncombe and their best friend David Roberts, the Washboard Union share an innate love for the art of songwriting and storytelling that has resonated with audiences from North America to Europe. Having grown up in Kelowna, Duncombe and Grain eventually packed up and headed off to Vancouver where they moved
in to a 1920s Tudor-style mansion. By coincidence Roberts was himself renting in the same mansion and it was here where all three began writing and singing together. These early sessions were the bones of what would eventually become The Washboard Union. Roberts would reminisce, “it was like living in a garden gone to seed.”

OLMP set to host volleyball provincials By Murray Green
The Our Lady of Mount Pleasant (OLMP) Royals high school girls and boys will be hosting the 2A Alberta Schools Athletic Association volleyball provincials from Nov. 22 to 24. The games will be played at the OLMP, St. Patrick School and University of Alberta Augustana Campus gyms. “We won our league and will be hosting zones on Nov. 17. We are super excited to host both zones and provincials. Our goal at zones is to place in the top two teams. Both Rimbey and Ponoka have good teams,” said Halle Gale of the girls senior high squad. “It will be interesting to see where we place in the province. Hopefully, we can make it to the quarterfinals and then see what happens after that. This is the first time I have been on a team hosting provincials, so it is going to be exciting and a good learning experience,” shared Halle. “Our whole team is really excited and we are preparing for it all.” The Royals have played well this year, but they know the competition will be at a higher level in the next two weeks. “Our strength is being
a team and playing as a team. We are working on fine tuning everything because we have the skills. We just need to sharpen it all, so we can execute. We are at the point where we are there, but we need the victories,” said Halle. “We haven’t had a lot of success in tournaments, typically falling out in the quarter-finals or crossovers. We have something to prove and we will be going into zones and provincials with more fight to us.” The girls will be playing at all three venues to showcase the game and players to the younger players, their own classmates and to university students. “We are opening in Augustana and we have all of the students coming out to watch. The Spirals (skip rope team) will open for us. We are preparing for it all because it will be a really big deal.” OLMP has been preparing for hosting the provincials for a year and a half, ever since they knew they were the winning bid. “We have been building the volleyball program up since I was in Grade 7. It has progressed quite a bit. I remember in my Grade 7 year, we were at the bottom of our tour-

naments. Over the years we have come a long way. Grade 8 was my best year in volleyball because we were really improving under Mr. Burns. Then having Mr. (Steve) Enright in high school has taken us to the next level. “We have gone from being at the bottom to advancing to quarter-
finals and crossovers,” said the Grade 11 student. “Hosting this year is really going to push us harder next year as well. Once we have been in provincials, we are going to want to go back and push ourselves harder.” The experience will help not only next year’s team, but inspire other
students to play volleyball as well. “It will help us grow more as a team. Hosting is fun for families and students, but it does put a little extra pressure on us. That’s why we want more fight to us.” Halle credited her coach for getting the team to zones and provincials.

Trojans finish strong with two playoff wins By Murray Green
The École Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team defeated Rocky Mountain House Rebels 22-9 on Oct. 26 in semifinal action to advance to the final game. The Trojans defence and special teams gave the offence good field position where they were able to capitalize. Drew Loosemore found Denton Robertson in the end zone for a touchdown late in the first quarter. Terryl Sherman added the extra point. Aiden Brown picked off the Rebels quarterback on the next drive and Loosemore plunged in behind his offensive line for a second score a short time later. With Sherman’s extra point the Trojans were up 14-0 in the first quarter. The second quarter had defenses settle in and the Trojans drove the field late in the second. On the last play of the half, Terryl Sherman hit a field goal to bring the Trojan lead to 17-0 at half. In the third, a punt single by Sherman brought the Trojans score to 18.

Submitted Graduating Grade 12 CCHS Trojans football players, from left, Jesse Doutre, Denton Robertson, Carson Fontaine, Raigen Rehaume, coach Adam Belanger, Teryll Sherman, Aiden Brown, Brett Beairsto, Drew Loosemore and Jason Bennett celebrated two playoff victories to wrap up the high school football season.
extra point and the score was 18-6. The Rebels finished the third with a field goal to bring the score 18-9. In the middle of the fourth quarter, a Trojan drive was capped off with another Sherman field goal which
brought the final score to 22-9. “Loosemore spread the ball around hitting five different receivers in the game. The defence was lead from the line by rookies Jeff Kimball who had five tackles and Noah Segal on the end with four tackles.” Final game
This win set up a date with the Drayton Valley Warriors on Nov. 2 in Drayton Valley. “We got to Drayton Valley and saw the field was covered with a thick layer of sticky snow. It didn’t matter to the Trojans because we had a score to
settle with the Warriors,” said coach Adam Belanger. In an earlier meeting, Drayton Valley beat ÉCCHS 28-7, so they were looking forward to a change for revenge. “It was a dominant defensive game under coordinator Josh Millang and the Trojans defence kept the Warriors off the score sheet completely. The Trojans won 19-0.” Terryl Sherman hit a field goal in the first quarter to go up 3-0. Then later in the second, a Trojan drive was capped off by Loosemore finding Brown in the end zone for a touch-
down. Sherman added the extra point and at the end of the half, he added his second field goal of the night. The third quarter was a stalemate, but rookie Justin Smith, in for the injured Brett Beirsto, found the end zone for the first time this year on a short run inside. Lead by the right side of the Trojan line, Kevin Kittler, Evan Kohlman, Carson Fontaine and his lead blocker Dominick Charpentier, Smith stayed tight behind them and was untouched into the end zone. The point after was no good, but the damage had been done and the Trojans drove home ending their season with a win. Loosemore went 9-21 in the snow for 219 yards passing. Drew Forster had four catches for 140 yards. Brown had four catches for 65 yards and Smith had a catch out of the backfield for 14 yards. Smith also had 60 yards on six carries. Sherman led the defence in the last game of his high school career with six tackles and an assist, along with an interception and a pass knockdown. Brown had four tackles and an assist in his last game and Noah Segal had four tackles. “The defence as a whole held the Warriors to 32 yards rushing, which is a vast improvement from just over a month ago,” said Belanger. The wrap-up football banquet will be held on Nov. 29 at the École Camrose Composite High School commons area beginning at 5 p.m.

Andrew Hohm By Lori Larsen
École Camrose Composite High School is proud to honour the extraordinary achievements of students at the Awards night held on Nov. 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the ÉCCHS Student Commons Area. Members of the community are invited to come out and celebrate students’ success. The guiding principles of ÉCCHS are, “Every student, every day, opportunities for success” and “Be true to yourself” and principal Todd Sieben has utilized both of these foundations to ensure that the school has something to offer everyone. “High school is a critical time for every student,”
noted Sieben. “The students of ÉCCHS know very well that to keep moving and striving in the complicated world of learning, requires finding your gift and determining how you will creatively use it to benefit others. This year’s program will be acknowledging a wide variety of student accomplishments.” This year’s award program features stories of students Hannah Gau, Andrew Hohm, Dorothea Niehoff and Erik Pudlowski. Hannah Gau attributes her success to the French Immersion program and a role in athletics. She is pursuing education to become
Erik Pudlowski
a bilingual speech pathologist. Andrew Hohm, valedictorian and French Immersion ambassador, appreciated the education he received at ÉCCHS high school. He speaks about the influence ÉCCHS had on him. “ÉCCHS has shown me how every single person has value, everyone is unique, and the value of any one person should never be underestimated.” Andrew also commented on the positive impact the FACT program (co-educational course offered as an alternative to the regular physical education program) had on him. “Waking up early every morning has been great to make me
Robyn Wegner
feel good, physically and mentally, and to achieve my best in academic classes.” This year, Andrew is pursuing an engineering degree at the University of Alberta. Dorothea Niehoff has made several contributions to ÉCCHS, by immersing herself in clubs and in promoting SAVY (Student Advocates for the Voices of Youth organized by Battle River School Division). SAVY focused on promoting mental health and school spirit. Dorothea was able to accomplish much in her role by participating in the Be The Change club. She made these observations. “I will always remember ÉCCHS as the school that
Liam Schaffner
has the most supportive and approachable staff, but most importantly, the place that nurtured my growth into someone not afraid to let their voice be heard.” Dorothea is pursuing a bachelor of science at Augustana this fall. Erik Pudlowski talked about the exceptional learning facilities ÉCCHS has to offer. “I was very fortunate to go to ÉCCHS because of all the labs, computers and smart boards that are often taken for granted by students.” During the awards ceremony, guests will have an opportunity to hear about the many successes students at ÉCCHS have experienced.
Animal Shelter celebrates a year of finding homes By Lori Larsen
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose & Area Animal Shelter celebrates one year of having a place to house lost or homeless pets and encourages residents to come and visit the Shelter and find a new furry family member who would love a forever home.
On Nov. 17, the Camrose & Area Animal Shelter Society is celebrating its first year of opening the doors to the Shelter and an appreciation for all the volunteers who help make it a reality. Residents are invited to come out to the Shelter, located at Bay 8-4617 41 Street, between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and join in, not only the success of the Shelter, but in showing appreciation for all the volunteers. Since opening a year ago the Shelter has taken in 241 animals, of which 74 cats, two bunnies and one ferret were adopted. Shelter treasurer Lynn Horsman, on behalf of the Shelter, remarks on how thankful they are for the amazing and continual community support. “We want to thank the community for their support and we look forward to continuing the good work at the Shelter in the upcoming year. “We are so fortunate to have such a fused board that share the single focus of ensuring the Shelter is a success.” Horsman indicated that to date the Shelter has logged 5,474 volunteer hours, a testament of the generous nature of volunteerism in Camrose. The Shelter will be open for regular hours on Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. prior to the celebration and residents are encouraged to come out early and visit with the Shelter’s furry tenants. Who knows– maybe one will tug at your heartstrings and find its new forever home. The Camrose & Area Animal Shelter will be presenting the year update at City Council on Monday, Nov. 19 at City Hall, Council Chambers. For more information on the Shelter visit them on Facebook or email camroseanimalshelter@gmail.com or telephone 780-608-0091.

Staal wins trophy before completing his restoration By Murray Green
Kevin Staal did a masterly job on restoring his 1954 GMC pick-up. So much so, that he is earning trophies before actually finishing his prize possession. “I bought this truck about 10 years ago for $500 and it was pretty much sitting in someone’s backyard. It was just getting rustier and rustier as the years went by,” said Kevin. “I fixed all of the rust spots and did all of the painting myself. I did all of the engine work myself. I took an engine out of an 1958 Impala. I put fuel injection on it, electronic ignition and a few modern additions,” explained Kevin. “I added power steering and brakes, but it is still sitting on its original frame and is a four speed. I added some custom touches here and there. The steering column is out of a 1955 Buick. I hand made the front bumper because I didn’t find one,” said Kevin. “This style of truck was only made for a year and a half, 1954 and half of 1955 with the one-piece windshield. Then half way through 1955 they changed body styles. I thought it would be rare, but now that I have one, I see them all over the place,” he said about the popular truck. The 1954 GMC line of trucks included a wide

FUN FACTS
GMC (General Motors Truck Company), formally the GMC Division of General Motors LLC, is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM) that primarily focuses on trucks and utility vehicles. GMC sells pickup and commercial trucks, buses, vans, military vehicles and sport utility vehicles. From 1939-74 GMC had its own line of six cylinder engines, first the inline sixes known as “Jimmy’s” from 1939-59. Less than two ton, domestic GMC gasoline trucks were equipped with Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile V8s—whereas the Canadian models used Chevrolet engines. Beginning in 1920, GMC and Chevrolet trucks became largely similar, built as variants of the same platform, sharing much the same body sheetwork, except for nameplates and grilles–though their differences, especially engines, have varied over the years. Options for 1954 included power steering, power brakes, two-tone paint, electric windshield wipers, heavy-duty rear springs, heavy-duty radiator, heavyduty generator and tinted glass. Chrome grilles and bumpers were also an option. The trucks could come with various non-standard rear axle ratios.
windshield, a redesigned cargo box, a new rear bumper with a dip in the centre to allow space for license plates and a color-coordinated interior. “Other than all of that, it is pretty much stock,” he laughed. “The truck came with an in-line 235.5 six cylinder, just like this, only this one is four years newer. I just perked it up a little.” His colour combination of blue and grey really stands out at car shows. “My brother and dad like going to car shows like me, so it great to get together and show our vehicles,” he added. “After high school, I got my autobody ticket first, then I went to work for John Deere, 31 years now as a mechanic. I’m just finishing the truck box and I’m thinking about putting an automatic in and maybe upgrade the suspension, but that will be in a year or two. I pushed hard to get
the truck here (Round Hill car show).” The standard transmission was a three-speed manual synchro-mesh unit with a floor-mounted gear
shifter. A four-speed manual and automatic were optional. He will be using the vehicle to drive around and collect parts, probably for his next project.

Merle Norman Block February 11, 1966 ~ November 7, 2018 Merle Norman Block was born on February 11, 1966 to Donald and Shirley Block (Rempel). Merle loved being around family and friends with friends soon becoming like family. He was a regular figure around town, riding his bicycle or snowmobile, depending on the season. Merle would often visit neighbours and family, strategically planning those visits in order to enjoy first, second and sometimes a third breakfast. He could also be found at the rink, golf course, corner store, pub or the family Ford dealership where he could always be counted on to keep the coffee on. Merle attended school in Daysland and Strome before transferring to the Burgess School in Camrose from which he graduated. He lived in Daysland with Don and Shirley until 1994 when he moved to Calgary with Don. Once in Calgary, Merle got connected with Independent Counselling Enterprises, an agency which supported him in his daily journey to increase skills and experiences. Through that connection, Merle was able to work and volunteer in situations like working at General Body & Equipment, volunteering at Canada Olympic Park, and building the United Church in High River, just to name a few. Merle took these jobs very seriously and enjoyed being part of the crew. The time at the Olympic Park turned out to be one of the most successful for Merle, allowing him to be with people and follow one of his passions, skiing. Initially when Merle first volunteered at the park, he was an instructor for beginner skiers and was the skating rink marshal. Eventually, Merle became the self-appointed safety officer, making sure the skiers all were properly buckled in with their helmets in place when riding the ski lift. He was credited with thwarting many bad injuries from this diligence. Merle loved skiing so much, he had purchased his lift pass for this year during the summer. When Don passed away, Merle then took advantage of the services offered by I.C.E. to explore supported living with a number of people. It was through this program that Merle met his second family, Terry and Winn Symes and their sons Andrew and Matthew. Merle loved sports from a very young age. He was heavily involved with Special Olympics in Camrose, participating in bowling and speed skating, making it to Nationals in Edmundson, New Brunswick. When Merle golfed, you could count on the shots going straight and long, regardless of the club. Merle probably loved hockey most of all and took great pride in a slap shot that could break 2x4s and crack the glass at the rink. Haiden always said that if he could stop Merle’s shots, he could stop anybody’s. That slap shot was the reason hockey was banned in the basement at Frank’s house. There was a short period of time when Merle was an Oilers’ fan, but he soon saw the light and became the biggest Flames fan in history, even working for them for a short while. During that employment, Merle witnessed a streaker at a game and hid his clothes, a story he loved to tell. It was also during that time when he met Jim Peplinski and Lanny McDonald. When Merle was in the hospital in Calgary, his support worker made plans to send Merle flowers and asked him what colour he would like, Merle‘s answer was Flames colours. Merle was the kind of person who left an impression with everyone he met, happy and caring, with the ability to brighten anyone’s day. He truly was everyone’s friend. Merle fought hard to get well, fighting for seven long months. He spent time at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary where he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. He eventually was transferred to the University Hospital in Edmonton where he was accepted on the transplant list. The fight just got to be too hard and Merle passed away the morning of November 7th in Edmonton. Merle was predeceased by his father Donald Block; grandparents Norman and Elsie Block and Ben and Meta Rempel; good friend Bob Goosen; as well as numerous aunts and uncles. Merle is survived by his mother Shirley Rempel; siblings Frank Block (Carmyn), Rhonda Johnson (Kevin) and Michael Owens (Colleen); nieces and nephews Camille Roney (Morgan), Haiden Block, Michael Crane (Mariah), Jordan Johnson, Cianna Johnson and Murray Owens; great-nephew Grayson Roney; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 from the Knox United Church in Daysland, Alberta with Rev. Deanna Cox officiating. Inurnment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Calgary Flames Foundation in memory of Merle by going to their website https://calgaryflamesfoundation.com. Also, please consider becoming an organ donor. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Florence Voegtlin
Floyd Emil Erickson
With great sadness and much love, we say goodbye to Florence Voegtlin who passed away on November 4, 2018 at the age of 93 years. She was the third daughter born to William and Katie Stauffer. Florence was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She loved her family very much – from the youngest to the oldest, their spouses and special friends. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 69 years, Joseph; her children Lois (Wilfred Barranoik), Thelma, Wayne (Roxanne) and Lyle; her grandchildren Natane (Christopher Clemens), Dane (Jennifer), Ethan, Autumn and Carter; as well as step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren. Florence will also be missed by her sister Louida Reil; her brothers Merlin (Betty) Stauffer and Harley (Gloria) Stauffer; sister-in-law Freda Voegtlin; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents; sisters Grace Buschert and Pearl Yoder; as well as her infant son Harold. Florence loved her family and enjoyed getting together to celebrate holidays and birthdays. There was lots of conversation and laughter and she was content to let others speak while she listened, although she didn’t hesitate to express her opinion when she felt it was necessary. She had a keen sense of humor, laughing with people, but never at them. She was an excellent cook and was renowned for her rhubarb pie by the school staff in Ryley, as well as her family. Florence had a strong faith in God and loved to attend church regularly. She especially enjoyed teaching children in both Sunday School and Daily Vacation Bible School. Her understanding of children and how they learn ensured that her lessons were interesting and informative. Even during her lengthy illness and stay at Extended Care, she always had a ready smile and a cheerful attitude, thanking workers for all their help. The family would like to thank the caregivers at the Tofield Extended Care Facility for their dedication and care of our loved one. Rest in peace, Mom. A funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, 2018 at Salem Mennonite Church, Tofield, AB. Cremation has taken place and inurnment will take place at the Salem Mennonite Cemetery on a later date.
October 9, 1922 ~ November 6, 2018 Floyd Erickson of Camrose, Alberta rode off into the sunset on November 6, 2018, at the age of 96 years. He was born and raised in Kingman, Alberta and worked on the family farm until his passion for horses led him to the Bar-U Ranch in High River, Alberta. Some of Floyd’s fondest memories were of time spent riding horses and herding cattle on the ranch. After he left the ranch, he worked on oil rigs at Redwater and surrounding areas. In 1959, he married Kim Kimura, formerly of Brooks, Alberta. Floyd and Kim moved back to the homestead where he farmed with sheep and cattle and also worked at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. In 1967, the family moved to Edmonton and Floyd took a job working in construction alongside his brother-in-law, Alvin Nelson. In 1980, they moved back to the farm where Floyd constructed a log house. This became a gathering place for wagon trains, trail rides and family reunions. Floyd was a man with many talents and accomplishments. When he was not riding horses, he enjoyed working with wood, restoring wagons, sleds and antique cars, strumming the guitar, cowboy poetry, and making things out of leather. He was most proud of his handmade saddle and harness. Floyd will be lovingly remembered by two daughters Marcy (Dave) Chippior of Edmonton and Lorraine (Dave) Friesen of Beaumont; five grandchildren Stephanie, Kyle, Mark, Bryan and Alyson; and one great-grandchild Lyric. Floyd was predeceased by his wife Kim; and sisters Florence Nelson and Irene Wiens. His funeral service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 10, 2018 from Burgar Memorial Chapel, 4817-51 Avenue, Camrose with Rev. Ron Chetney officiating. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Floyd’s memory may be made to Alberta Cancer Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Kodiaks tame cats after slow beginning By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks were down 1-0 after 20 minutes to the Lloydminster Bobcats, but that was all she wrote as far as the visitors were concerned on Nov. 4. Camrose is riding a four game winning streak and defenceman Zach Vinnell was named player of the week. “The team success is what I worry about and things are going good right now. I come in every night trying to do my best and play my hardest,” said Vinnell. “We have the depth both on the front and back end and everybody is contributing. It is helping us in the long run.” Camrose scored seven unanswered goals to win 7-1. Carson Welke scored two third period tallies to put the game out of reach. Single markers in the middle frame came from Dylan Williamson, Jacob Kendall, Tyler Schendel, Carson Kurylo and Kyler Kupka. Goalie Roddy Ross stopped 30 of 31 shots he faced. Camrose recorded 48 shots on the Lloydminster cage. “Our work ethic is a lot better and our mentality is that when we get down, we don’t panic. We have had some come-frombehind games recently and that is a big thing. We are a hard working team and don’t seem to let up,” added Zach. It took an overtime period, but the Kodiaks edged Fort McMurray 3-2 the night before. Damon Zimmer started the Kodiaks scoring on a power play, but Drumheller replied with 32 second left in the period. Again the visitors, this time the Oil Barons, built up a lead, 2-0, before Camrose went to work. “We trust each other not to get down and work hard for the comeback. We find a way to get back into the game and have had some success lately,” he said. Kupka and McKenzie Welke started the comeback to force overtime. Kendall didn’t waste any time in giving his team the win by scoring in the first minute of extra time. Goalie Bowerman stopped 28 of 30 shots. Camrose fired 28 shots on net. Zach has committed to attending Merrimack next year in the United States. Continued on page 37

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.

“I committed to go just after the showcase weekend. That is definitely a weight off my shoulders, so I can relax and just go out there and play,” explained Zach. “It’s a good feeling knowing I have hockey and continued to go to school next season. Former Kodiaks have had success at Merrimack. They spoke highly of the Camrose Kodiaks and the players that went there, so it felt like a great fit. I couldn’t be happier going there next year.” The Kodiaks host Calgary Mustangs on Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. and Canmore on Nov. 18 at 2 p.m. in the net home games. Bear facts

grandmother groups across Canada, raise money to assist the grandmothers of Africa,” explained Galenza. “These grandmothers are raising their orphaned grandchildren, whose parents have died of AIDS in the pandemic that is still sweeping across SubSaharan Africa. Millions of children have been left orphaned by this disease, but the grandmothers have provided love, shelter and food as best they can with what little they have. They are truly central to the endurance of communities in Africa.” The Stephen Lewis Foundation works with community-based organizations to provide food,
improved health care, education and support in response to needs identified by the communities. “Many members of our group recently attended a fall gathering with other granny groups in the Edmonton area and we left feeling energized with new fundraising ideas and renewed dedication to our cause,” remarked Galenza. “We hope that we can continue to honour our African sisters, not only through our fundraising efforts, but through our solidarity with them and each other.” For more information on the Grateful Grannies or to donate handmade items, contact Janet Galenza at 780-679-2676.
