Effortless effort

It’s been an odd week.

Returning from the float days of the holiday, regular life seemed long ago and far away, almost foreign.

Would have been nice to curl up in a quilt and get lost in a book or puzzle. On the other hand, I felt antsy and agitated; couldn’t settle into anything.

Events in the news seemed even more insane than usual. And oh yes–there was actual stuff to get done, things I’d promised. “Pushme Pullyou”–simultaneous inertia and wanting to move…

In that context, listening to an interview with Jamie Wheal, two words leapt out at me: “effortless effort.”

Flow Genome Project

Jamie Wheal is co-author (with Steven Kotler) of last year’s best-selling Stealing Fire and executive director of the Flow Genome Project. The website says, “Our goal is to help individuals and organizations experience more flow and the significant boost in performance it provides.

We think decoding the neuropsychology of optimal performance and open sourcing our findings to the world is the best way to achieve that aim.”

In the interview, Jamie talked about the “flow” state– “those moments of rapt attention and total absorption, when you get so focused on the task at hand that everything else disappears and all aspects of performance, both mental and physical, go through the roof. You’re in the zone.”

That’s when he used the phrase “effortless effort.”

Riding the wave

To describe the phrase “effortless effort,” he used the example of a surfer riding a wave. In the moments of riding the wave, surfing may appear effortless–just letting the wave carry the surfer. But, to acquire the ability to do that takes effort–training and practice. As well, to paddle to the wave takes effort. To the expert surfer, it may seem like effortless effort. There’s exertion but it’s just flowing, the surfer and the wave in harmony.

That phrase–effortless effort–was so appealing!

I remembered my own times of effortless effort– when I was totally engrossed in whatever I was doing, in a timeless time, fully engaged and fully present, knowing I was good at what I was doing, capable of setting the direction, and also wide open to whatever new possibility might emerge.

Some of those times were when I was doing something I loved. Some of those times were when I cared about something so much that for a time, nothing else mattered. I bet you’ve experienced those times too. They seem magical. The book Stealing Fire tells lots more about that state, and how groups from Navy Seals to transcendental meditators use it.

THE FINE PRINT: Letters are welcomed, but please limit them to 400 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only the name of the writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted.

The Camrose Booster may edit for clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments.

Losing animals

I highly concur with our former MP Arnold Malone’s thoughts in his guest editorial, The Animals, published on Christmas.

Humans have a unique capacity amongst creation to nurture and to restore, yet also to take and destroy.

The Earth is currently going through the sixth largest mass extinction on the planet. This is at a rate a thousand times higher than the previous extinctions (the last one killed the dinosaurs) and this one is being caused by humans.

Collectively, we are to blame. To correct a statistic, the WWF’s Living Planet report has declared that 60 per cent of vertebrates have been wiped out from 1970 to 2014. Sixty per cent. This has dramatically increased from a loss of 50 per cent from 1970 to 2010. In less than half a century, humanity has killed more than half of vertebrate animals on the planet. If this is not a wake-up call then I do not know what is.

I am appalled at this organization called the Century Project to increase Canada’s population to 100 million people by the end of the century. I am disturbed that finance minister Bill Morneau’s chief advisers are pushing this idea. Will a future Canada triple our current population have the same consumption lev-

els? With the same carbon footprint?

Certainly our population will grow, yet to insist on intentionally tripling it is ludicrous. Two key elements of our national identity are: wilderness and a low population density. We do not need to triple our population. We need to conserve our current wild spaces and wildlife. Arnold’s thoughts show how conservation of wildlife and recognition of our interdependence with nature need not be a partisan issue.

Adlai Stevenson made a speech to the UN in 1965: “We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft.” On this spaceship we have called Earth we have everything we need to live. And we share it with the rest of creation. And we need them more than they need us.

Geordie Nelson, Camrose Change coming

It has now changed over to 2019. I am not sure if anyone else seems to really care, but I do as a citizen of this province called Alberta. The United Conservatives have raised

over $1.18 million in the third quarter of 2018, which is nearly 75 per cent more than what the NDP government brought in the same time period.

This does point to a coming change.

The last time when Albertans booted a party out of power was back in 1935 when the Social Credit came into power. The United Farmers were all shown the door by the voter. In 2015, the voters were a little more kinder by giving the party a few seats and a chance to redeem themselves. They are now called the United Conservatives. Now they are now ahead in the polls.

Now what does this mean? Absolutely nothing.

The only poll which counts only happens on election day. In 1971, the one thing the PC Party did right was that they took nothing for granted. The Social Credit did take the voter for granted. In 2015, the NDP did one thing right. They took nothing for granted.

The PC Party did take the voter for granted last time.

Am I the only one who sees this repeat of the past?

Like I have said before, your one vote alone will not do much, but together it can change the world. The voter has more power than what they know that they have.

Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

Ancient tradition

The Flow Genome Project has extensive research that shows exactly what happens in our brains and bodies when we’re in that flow state–what parts of the brain release what chemicals and what happens then. They can map it all. And they teach people how to get into that state.

It’s a twenty-first century approach to what mystics have been talking about for centuries. When I wanted to find out more of the science and googled effortless effort, the first thing that popped up was “5 Secrets to Wu Wei, the Taoist Principle of Effortless Effort.”

I laughed. Of course! Eastern cultures have been practicing this for millennia. In western culture, we encourage “strive drive” and place a high value on “productivity.” That’s not the only way to live and sometimes it’s even counter-productive. I liked a quote from Zhuangzi’s Basic Writings. “You can use the analogy of an artist or craftsman. The skilled woodcarver, the skilled swimmer...does not ponder the course of action he should take; his skill has become so much a part of him that he merely acts instinctively and spontaneously, without knowing why, and achieves success.”

Sounds good. Effortless effort is becoming my theme of the year. *** I’d love to hear from you! 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.

she recalled doing papers with 13-yearold Layne helping. “It was around 3:30 a.m. and this gentleman was outside. It was obvious he had just cleared the snow off his own sidewalk and he was then working on the neighbour’s. I looked at Layne and said ‘He needs a card doesn’t he?’ ” and Layne agreed so I turned my vehicle around hopped out and handed a card to the man.”

Lindsey said, while the man appeared a bit shocked, he took the card then thanked her. “It was cool because I could change the way people were feeling.”

On other occasions, Lindsey slipped cards into the door handles of people’s vehicles. When five-year-old Camille asked her why she was doing that she simply replied, “It’s a treat,” showing her child that the best thing we can do for others is to be kind and thoughtful.

“The best part about randomly handing them out was there was absolutely no bias,” she added. “I didn’t know if the person was having a good day or a bad day, but hopefully I just made it better.”

Lindsey was also able to fulfill Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster her other goal of donating gift cards Lindsey Sweeney had so much fun positively and cash to The Open Door. “I was so impacting random peoples’ lives happy because I was able to do what as a very secret Santa.

Rink of dreams celebrates grand opening

By Lori Larsen

It has been a long three years of raising funds, collecting donations and promoting a dream, but the Kingman Recreation Association (KRA) and many volunteers’ hard work paid off in a big “icy” way. On Saturday, Dec. 15, the Kingman Rink of Dreams held the grand opening and dedication of the brand new regulation sized outdoor ice rink and indoor facility.

The rink has been open for use since December 2017 and has already seen its share of activity.

KRA member Trent Kenyon spoke about how the rink is already being used. “We have had people inquire as to whether or not the rink is open for all areas around Kingman, and they have been bringing their children to take advantage of being able to get onto some ice and skate.”

Kenyon commented that on his way home on Dec. 10, driving past the rink, he noted around nine vehicles in the rink parking lot and people out skating.

“The rink is most definitely being used.”

Also, speaking on behalf of the Kingman Recreation Association, Dave Francis commented, “The Kingman Rink of Dreams has provided a reason for community involvement, not only for our community, but extended communities as well.

“The ice has been used almost every night by both young and older adults for games of shinny or skating.”

Francis said seeing the rink being used is fulfilling a big part of what the dream for the rink was in the first place.

“Also, the historical Friday night skating party has once again been something people look forward to enjoying.”

Francis has been on board since the beginning, assisting in organizing and completing the facility to now being involved in flooding and helping maintain the rink. “I was able to source a quality ice machine which makes for great ice.”

Francis remarked that what he first envisioned when the project began is now coming true. “I am seeing young families and people becoming more involved. Also, the facility is being used in the summer for horse activity e are pleased by groups such to have a as the Kingman 4-H Bits and year-round facility Spurs. We are for everyone to use. pleased to have a year-round facility for everyone to be able to use.”

Kenyon said that one of the happy results of building the Kingman Rink of Dreams is seeing community spirit blossoming, both within Kingman and from surrounding areas.

A community spirit that spoke volumes on Dec. 15, despite bitter winds, as a large crowd of people from Kingman, Camrose and surrounding areas came out to celebrate the new facility and a true sense of community.

Pastor Garfield opened the ceremonies with prayer followed by the singing of the National Anthem by a children’s choir.

Members of the KRA filled the crowd in on the details of the project and thanked all sponsors, big and small, organizations and individuals. A plaque board located in the rink building recognizes the generosity of all sponsors and some sponsors are also displayed on rink board advertisements.

Member of the Alberta Rink Of Dreams (ROD) Society and a steward of childrens’ wellbeing, Wilf Brooks has been a strong advocate and supporter of the Kingman Rink of Dreams since the beginning. “Alberta Rink of Dreams Society was built with the sole purpose of ‘getting involved’ with a goal of helping communities to help themselves in bringing back or

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Battle River School Division. The grant is from income from the W. F. MacDonald Family Fund, created in 2007 by descendants of W. F. MacDonald.

The grant provides two very generous scholarships to rural students graduating from high schools in the southern half of Camrose County. One scholarship goes to a student entering an academic institution and the second goes to a student entering a technical institution. The scholarships honour the MacDonald commitment to post-secondary education for rural students.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support worthwhile charitable initiatives, such as this, in East Central Alberta which will have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

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

To learn more about the W.F. MacDonald Family scholarships, contact Diane Hutchinson, communications coordinator at the Battle River School Division office, 780-672-6137.

Spidey senses appear

By Murray Green

Spidey is a mentalist/ mind-reader that deals with impossible predictions, tapping into people’s psychology and extracting images and experiences.

The show entitled Spidey: Make Believe–Magic of your Mind will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m.

“He introduces unbelievable ways of revealing these predictions. His performance isn’t visual magic like illusionists and magicians. In Spidey’s show, he explains to the audience from the get-go about the difference between magic

and mentalism,” said Kevin Cruz of his crew.

Soon after, the audience is immersed in his emotionfilled psychological demonstrations. They will feel joy, hilarity, intensity, awe, shock and disbelief.

This Canadian has captivated the minds of people around the world with his tours across North America, eight international TV shows and more than 10 million online viewers.

Spidey was named US Mentalist of the Year 2017 (despite being Canadian) and has performed for major celebrities.

Spidey presents a mindblowing and hilarious make believe performance.

ÉCCHS students to perform one-acts

By Murray Green

École Camrose Composite High School students will be directing and performing in a series of four oneact plays on Jan. 17 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

The show called A Night of One Act Plays begins at 7 p.m.

Drama classes from Grades 10 to 12 will be sharing one-act plays under the guidance of ÉCCHS drama teacher Stephen Cole.

The students showcase what they have learned this semester. “Two Drama 30 students and an advanced acting student direct a oneact play that they have chosen. They audition and assign students from the class to roles in these plays.

They then spend class time rehearsing and preparing for the performance,” explained the teacher.

“This year, there are three plays directed by students and one by me. Carley Nickerson is directing Drugs are Bad by Jonathan Rand.”

In the play, a boy comes home from school one day to find his parents waiting for him, deeply concerned.

Admiral to tickle the ivories

By Murray Green

Course Registration

University of Alberta Augustana Campus instructor Roger Admiral will be staging a piano concert at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Sunday, Jan. 20 at 2 p.m.

Admiral will be featuring music by Mozart, Chopin, Debussy and Ravel.

The concert will feature classics from the standard concert repertoire. Mozart’s Sonata in F is a work of symphonic scale composed with the brilliance of an 18thcentury fortepiano in mind.

Chopin’s Polonaise-Fantasie combines the heroic dance rhythms of a polonaise with the searching improvisatory style of fantasy. The second half of the concert includes late 19th-century pieces by Debussy, and the famous Gaspard de la Nuit of Ravel.

The latter work is virtuosic and descriptive in nature, as it colorfully describes three different scenes using great pianistic imagination.

There is no charge for admission and the public is welcome.

Winner of the Canadian Music Competition and the Sir Ernest MacMillan Memorial Award, Roger studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto), University of Western Ontario and the University of Alberta (where he graduated with a doctor of music degree).

He is a busy freelance artist, who also has instructed courses at Augustana for 11 years and the Edmonton campus of the University of Alberta for more than 16 years.

He also coaches contemporary chamber music at the University of Alberta.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear a performer of Admiral’s stature playing music by some of the greatest composers in history.

Tickets are not required and all are welcome.

Are you celebrating a special event in 2019?

e l b a u l Va N O P U O C

There’s a ton of planning that needs to be done so that a gathering of people is much more than simply food and talk. It needs to inspire, create memories, it needs to evoke emotions and feelings of gratitude and thankfulness. It should be fun, laughter filling the air at times – and serious too when something important or poignant is being shared. Everyone will be looking their best, smiling, sharing confidences, hugging or shaking hands like they mean it. And the food has to be good, really good, the beverages too. The venue itself should embody why the people are there. From the decorating, to the way the chairs and tables are set up. Comfort is a priority, as is functionality. There’s an awful lot that goes into making an event special.

The businesses advertising on these pages are the best of the best.

They know what it takes to elevate your meeting or celebration or party, so that it’s one people will talk about for a long time. They can cross the Ts and dot the Is and think of the things you haven’t considered.

Please consider them when you start the planning of your next event.

Veselka celebrates Malanka season

By Murray Green

Traditionally, Malanka is celebrated on Jan. 13, which is New Year’s Eve on the Julian calendar.

Camrose Veselka Ukrainian Dance Society is going to celebrate the New Year on Jan. 19, at the Camrose Regional Exhibition beginning at 4:30 p.m.

The actual origins of Malanka are unknown, but there are a few theories.

Religious peoples believe it is a celebration of St. Melania who was born to wealthy Christians.

After the sad loss of their two young children, Melania obtained her husband’s permission for religious dedication. She chose to use her wealth to build monasteries, convents and aid the church. The Eve of the New Year was a feast in honour of Melania’s contribution of wealth for a virtuous purpose.

Some people believe the celebration stems from a folktale. Lada (Mother Earth) had two children, a son who was the Moon (Knias Misyats) and a daughter Spring-May who was later called Mylanka because she was loving (myla) to the whole world.

It was she who covered the world with flowers and greenery every May. The ‘Evil One’ stole Malanka (Mylanka) to his

underground kingdom. He kidnapped her at a time when her brother, the Moon, was hunting. Eventually the Evil One freed her, but while she was absent from the world, there was no spring. Upon Malanka’s release from captivity the flowers and greenery were brought to life once again.

Therefore, the celebration of Malanka symbolizes the beginning of spring and a new season.

In different parts of Ukraine, Malanka celebrations differ slightly, but it still remains a day of public enjoyment and entertainment. The merrymaking usually begins with Malanka (a bachelor dressed up in women’s clothing humorously parodying a lady in the village whom everyone can identify). He (Malanka) progresses through the village followed by “Mummers” or spirited actors dressed up in costumes and masks. They herald in the New Year by playing pranks and acting out small plays.

The slow-moving procession stops once in a while and a folk theatre performance begins, full of humour, carolling and improvisations.

People wish each other good health and good fortune.

One wish is particularly important: good crops and plentiful yields.

Brausen enjoys uncommon classics

By Murray Green

Bill Brausen of Camrose is an uncommon classic vehicle kind of guy. He is proud to drive his plain old 1953 Ford Customline car around the city.

The 1953 Customlines continued with the 1952 bodies with only minor changes. It carried a base price of $1,734 and was one of 374,487 four-door Customline four-door sedans built for the model year.

“I found this car down

by Clive and bought it from a gentleman there last spring,” he said.

But, that’s what makes this plain car a classic. It is a four door family car. Working class Customlines from 1953 survived long enough to be turned into collector cars.

In fact, they have become scarce because people never thought of restoring them.

“I thought it would be something cool to drive around in. I generally don’t have main stream vehicles, so this is something that I really liked,” said Bill.

“All I’ve done to this car is basic maintenance. That’s about it. I bought it in this shape.”

Bill wasn’t around when this car rolled off the assembly line in 1953.

The Ford Motor Company celebrated its 50th year in business with the new 1953 models. All 1953 Fords featured emblems on the steering wheels marking

the company’s 50th anniversary. Outside, the 1953 Fords retained their grille bullets, which were flanked by vertical ribs in the thick centre

FUN FACTS

The Ford line was divided into Mainline, Customline and Crestline series. The Mainline series was the base trim level for 1953 and included rubber window moldings, horn button instead of horn ring, one sun visor and an armrest only on the driver’s door. The Customline series was the intermediate trim level for 1953 and included chrome window moldings, chrome horn half-ring, two sun visors, armrests on all doors and passenger assist straps on interior “B” pillars for easier rear seat egress.

A horizontal chrome strip on the front fenders and a chrome opening on the rear quarter panel scoop.

There was another horizontal chrome strip from the scoop opening to the back of the body. The Crestline series was the top trim level and was offered only with V-8 engines. This series included all trim in the Customline series plus wheel covers and additional chrome trim along the bottom of the side widows.

The base six-cylinder 215 produced 101 horsepower. The 239 V-8 was rated at 110 horsepower. A three-speed manual transmission on the tree was standard. It featured a semi-centrifugal-type clutch and three-speed helical gears with synchronizers for second and third gears. A three-speed with automatic overdrive was optional for an extra $108.

bar and rectangular corner lights above the bumpers.

“My dad restored cars as a hobby and I grew up around old cars all of my life. I just love all of the old vehicles. At some point, I will have owned all of the old cars I have liked over the years,” admitted Bill.

He has a habit of buying and selling old cars and fixing up a few as well.

“This car has a Flathead V8 engine with three on the tree with overdrive. It’s a 50th anniversary car, so that means something as well,” added Bill.

“I wanted something that I could haul the children around, so having the four doors is nice. I also try to drive it to work every other day (when nice weather),” said the plumber.

Although he loves his car, he isn’t the fondest about the maroon colour.

“It’s not my favourite. It absolutely looks great, but it just shows every piece of dirt all of the time.”

The 1953 models fea-

tured new power-assisted brakes and power steering.

Prior to this year, they were only available on Lincolns and Mercurys.

“I like my cars stock

original and this one fits that category,” added Bill.

“My next vehicle will be a truck, so I may have to sell this one in order to buy a truck.”

Concerns over sidewalk conditions brought to council

By Lori Larsen

In a letter to City Council dated Nov. 19, 2018, the Augustana Neighbourhood Association (ANA) expressed their concerns over the condition of the sidewalks in the Augustana area and subsequent safety issues.

During the Dec. 17, 2018 Committee of Whole meeting, Augustana Neighbourhood Association president Yvonne Becker asked council to consider a possible funding option to replace the sidewalks in that neighbourhood.

“The ANA wants to draw attention to a serious infrastructure issue in the Augustana neighborhood,” said Becker. “On several streets the sidewalks are not safe and almost not walkable.”

Conditions of loose gravel, deteriorating asphalt, patches and changing vertical levels were described through a variety of photographs taken by ANA board members in late October 2018.

“Add to this a layer of snow and the freeze/thaw cycle that walkers of all abilities have to deal with in order to get downtown, to their classes or to the Lougheed Centre. The conditions, in fact, prevent some folks from leaving their residences.”

Becker told council that the ANA works on a sidewalk clearing program

in the neighbourhood and also participates with the Walkable Camrose group, supporting campaigns that focus on sidewalk clearing and pedestrian safety.

Becker referred to discussions that took place in 2016, with councillors and City administrators regarding possible sidewalk renewal methods and how administration suggested the ANA canvass the neighbourhood to determine the overall feelings on the issues of the sidewalks.

“Of about 250 residences in the neighbourhood, approximately 100 are rental properties and engaging with the renters in the residence is not helpful and rental property owners are difficult to locate.

“We are here to encourage the mayor and council to address the safety and health of those who live and work in our neighbourhood.”

City plans

City of Camrose director of engineering Jeremy Enarson spoke to the process and future plans the City has for sidewalk rehabilitation, specifically in the Augustana neighbourhood.

“Administration does continue to review sidewalk locations around the city. Our public works department has an inspection program where, every five years, every sidewalk within the city will be

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The sidewalks along 46 Street south of 48th Avenue are reported to be in poor condition and slated for repair.

reviewed and accessed. In higher traffic areas it is done more frequently, then administration will take action accordingly.”

Enarson further explained the projects, within the Augustana area that are currently in the capital plan.

“The first is 46 Street south of 48th Avenue. We took another look and confirmed what we have in the capital budget, that those sidewalks are in poor condition.”

Enarson said that aside from a few areas that have received some

spot repairs, generally speaking 46 Street (south of 48th Avenue) on both sides of the roadway are in poor condition. “In the 2019 to 2028 capital plan, administration is proposing to completely rebuild the infrastructure on those streets, beginning with the underground infrastructure in 2020 followed by surface infrastructure, which includes all sidewalks, curbs and gutters, in 2021.”

Enarson added that this work will have a local improvement component

applicable to the surface work not the underground work.

“The next area is 48 Street between 47 and 46 Avenues. The City conducted a recent inspection and definitely there are some areas that are in poor to very poor condition.” However, Enarson noted that the 48 Street sidewalks are generally in fair condition and currently there is nothing in the capital plan that includes any full scale replacement of sidewalks along that walkway on either side of the roadway.

“The third section is 49 Street between 46 and 47 Avenues. Generally, they are in fair condition. There are a few poor locations including one very problematic location on the very north east corner of that block that we would consider to be poor to very poor condition. The City currently does have in its capital plan for 2023 a project that relates to replacement of sidewalks along that roadway, definitely on the north portion of the east side of the roadway.”

Enarson explained the fourth location of 46 Avenue between 48 and 49 Streets has a section where there is no sidewalk at all and because it is not part of the current 2019 to 2028 capital plan as the City would need to address this by creating a new capital project.

Peter John Wynnyk Musical inclusion: SingAble

True to the title, this column is quite literally a “second thought,” as it seemed prudent to review other Second Thought columns that I had submitted over the last few years. To quote myself from 2011: “Over the last century, electronic gadgetry has slowly inhibited us from exploring the unique voices and talents that we possess…I heartily encourage you to dispel the talent myth by actively makArdelle Ries, Music ing music, and encourage University of Alberta those around you to do the Augustana Campus same.” To again quote myself in 2017: “As we celebrate, explore, and experience life-long, song-based music education, we encourage you to join in and celebrate, explore, and actively experience music and singing in your life!”

Between 2011 and 2017, the tone of my message seems fundamentally the same. Although now 2019, the life-long commitment to preach the gospel of singing for all and “musical inclusion” continues; however, this year, my song is sung more passionately than ever before.

Before one defines musical inclusion, it is first necessary to examine its opposite, musical exclusion. In Western society, participation in music and the arts is typically exclusionist or “able-ist” in nature, largely dependent on hierarchy, audition, and competition with reverence for those who have been identified as gifted or talented. The chosen few are granted privilege to engage and are encouraged to participate, explore and excel. On the flip side, those labeled as “unmusical” or “unable” are discouraged from any kind of musical participation. Depending on the age that this has been decreed, a designated “musical outcast” may carry a deeply engrained belief about their perceived lack of musical ability for a lifetime.

Classical music has frequently been considered the biggest exclusion culprit; however, I argue that exclusionary practices are pervasive in any genre within Western musical culture. Although, audiences at popular music concerts may appear to be much more engaged than the silent, reserved, and well-behaved classical concert audiences; if an audience member attempted to hop on the stage and actively participate alongside any featured country, folk, funk, heavy metal, hip-hop, jazz, punk, or rock performer, that individual would be either arrested on the spot or swiftly escorted from the stage. We have been trained to worship performers from a distance and to obediently accept the role of passive listeners. In so doing, we discredit any musical ability that lies latent within.

To advocate for inclusion, social justice, and equity in the realm of music education is neither new nor unique.

Over the past thirty years, the influence of musical inclusion research and inclusion practices have become apparent with the emergence of gender-neutral ensembles, prison choirs, choirs for individuals with specific health conditions, and choirs for the musically marginalized. Within this latter category fits SingAble, a new, multigenerational community inclusion choir, serving Camrosians who wish to engage in music-making at any age or stage of life, or of any ability or disability. Amid a joyful and supportive community context, the diverse group of SingAble choristers--from the ages of 2 to 92 (or so!)-- sing, play, dance, compose, improvise and learn. As unique voices and musical gifts are discovered, common goals are achieved, friendships are made, and community is created. Members of the Camrose Association for Community Living, U of A Augustana, the Alzheimer Society of Alberta and the Battle River Community Foundation are profoundly moved to witness the powerful impact of music and song to unite, to educate, to move, to inspire, and to lift the spirit. In the words of the SingAble theme song for 2019: “We love to sing because we are able. We will sing with voices proud and strong; and we will sing together without label. We are singers and this is our song.”

Articulated in another way, and yet again at the risk of repetition, I continue to say, “You are a singer. Now go find your song.”

July 10, 1935 ~ January 7, 2019 Peter Wynnyk was born on July 10, 1935 to John and Rose Wynnyk north of Daysland, Alberta. He started country school near the Wynnyk homestead.

In 1945, the family relocated to Daysland, where they owned and operated the Daysland General Store. Peter attended primary school in Daysland, high school and Teacher’s College, at Saint Joseph’s College in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. He started his teaching career in northern Manitoba, then a short period in Heisler and the remaining 35 years in Daysland. He was proud to have the privilege of teaching numerous students.

Peter was deeply devoted to his faith, family and friends.

These traits have carried our family through numerous, and often difficult, life challenges. Peter had a quiet demeanor and spoke few words, but his advice was gentle and genuine. He will be dearly missed by his family and those fortunate to have known him.

Peter and Vera’s home was always open to family and friends.

His passions included humor, cooking, gardening and fishing.

Peter owned, rented and maintained numerous properties in Daysland – there was nothing he couldn’t build. He was a patient, proud, small-town boy. Together, Peter and Vera passed these life skills onto their children.

Peter had a very peaceful passing on January 7, 2019 in their Edmonton home at the age of 83. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Vera of 57 years; son Maurice (Marla) of Calgary; daughters Cynthia (Reg) and Crystal of Edmonton; and grandson Brayden. He was predeceased by infant daughter Desiree; grandson Skylar; brother Orest; and parents John and Rose.

A Funeral Prayer Vigil was held at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 11, 2019 from the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, Daysland.

A Funeral Divine Liturgy was held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 12, 2019 from the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, Daysland with Rev. Mark Bayrock officiating. Interment has taken place in the Daysland Cemetery.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Peter’s memory may be made to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, Daysland or to the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, Camrose.

Camrose RCMP new recruit getting to know area

By Lori Larsen

Camrose RCMP welcomed new recruit, Constable Ian McCloy, to the roster on Nov. 19, 2018 and his hopes are to get to know the communities within the district so he can best serve their needs.

Const. McCloy comes to Camrose (and area) as his first posting fresh out of depot in Regina. He grew up in Smith Falls, Ontario, a town with a population of approximately 10,000 people, just outside of Ottawa.

“I grew up playing hockey,” described McCloy.

“And looking back, I think it attributed to one of the reasons why I went back to school and continued with secondary education.

RCMP and how the organization has detachments all over, that police many small communities. “They have some similarities and some differences, but each has to be able to relate to their specific area in certain ways.”

McCloy noted his experiences with smaller villages and hamlets growing up, will definitely be an asset in his job policing in Camrose County.

While he has only been in the area for approximately two months, McCloy looks forward to getting to know each village, town and hamlet within his jurisdiction and eventually be able to put names to faces and working with members

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose RCMP new recruit Constable Ian McCloy is eager to work with youth in Camrose area.

“The more I got involved with hockey and sports the more the importance of school was stressed. If you didn’t do well in school you didn’t play hockey.” And it would appear that being able to play hockey and be part of a team played a positive role in his life and helped him gain an appreciation for smaller communities.

“The hockey teams I played for were all from small towns like Camrose, so you get a feel for what a small town is like and what is important in a small town.”

McCloy likened it to the

of the community to best serve their policing needs.

Const. McCloy said he also enjoys working with children, noting that his previous employment was with CAS (Children’s Aid Society) in Ontario working within group homes with dual diagnosed children.

“There were challenges but it was fun and rewarding.”

Being involved in sports as a child and youth also impressed upon him the importance of team playing and being of service to others.

During his two years of probation McCloy is

assigned to work with a field training officer (Constable Trent Kenyon) for the first six months, during which time he is responsible to complete CAPRA (community policing problem solving) projects. “It has us reaching out to our clients,” explained McCloy.

“I want to work with youth and get them involved.”

Some of the ideas he is mulling over, include working with a particular hamlet or village within his district, to reach out and develop an understanding of what the members of the community (specifically youth) feel they may be lacking in the form of police involvement. “I would like to see if it is something that we can collaborate with fire or paramedic or it could be just a fun initiative.”

When asked why he chose a career in policing, McCloy replied, “When I was growing up it was all hockey but once I hit a level in hockey where I was aging out, I wanted to get into a career that involved fitness and one that prepares you for the unexpected and has a degree of job security. But, overall I enjoy working with people.

“I feel like I am the type of person who makes every effort to come up with the best resolution to issues.”

On speaking on the progress of policing and how it is changing, McCloy said he felt the use of alternative measures help a person take accountability and grow without impacting one’s life so severely, especially youth.

In conclusion, Const.

McCloy reiterated the importance of community involvement in assisting the police in preventing and detecting crime. “With only three or four RCMP members at the detachment, it is crucial that communities get involved in preventing crime or helping to relay information. Initiating a crime watch can be a great deterrent.

“Thus far, there have been a number of individuals who helped me get to know the area. I look forward to getting to know as many people as I can and getting to know Camrose and Camrose County.”

Camrose Public Library welcomes new director

By Lori Larsen

The Camrose Public Library will be welcoming Robyn Gray to her official position, as the new director, on Jan. 14.

Robyn comes to the library from Battle River School Division, where she was the instructional media commons coordinator.

Members of the Camrose Public Library board encourage residents to go in and meet Robyn and welcome her on board–the staff at the library wish her luck as she takes on the role of director, as the library celebrates its centennial year.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose RCMP Corporal Isaac Verbaas related recent crime statistics to Camrose County councillors.

Crime rates decrease in county

By Murray Green

In what could be his last visit to Camrose County council, Camrose RCMP Corporal Isaac Verbaas spread positive news to the Jan. 8 council meeting.

Cpl. Verbaas indicated that crime across the County has steadily decreased over the last few years, as well as informing council that his position to help with instruction of officers within the Ukraine police department has been approved. He is expected to leave in late January.

“Council’s main concern was the high number of property crimes. We have experienced a steady decrease in the right direction,” said Verbaas. “The stat I want to point out is the number of possession of stolen goods.

That number is higher, but that is good. We are catching people with the stolen items and that makes our job easier. That number is steadily rising. It’s hard to charge people with theft if we haven’t caught them in the act.

But, if we catch them with the stolen goods, it is something we can charge them with.”

The number of property crimes and RCMP calls has decreased for the last three years. In 2016, the RCMP had 443 cases and that number dropped to 361 in 2017 and to 335 in 2018.

“Another area of concern for council was the number of collisions on our highways and that Highway 21 was one heck of a raceway,” shared Verbaas.

“The number of violations has increased dramatically over the last couple of years. This isn’t just us, we have the benefits of the sheriffs on that highway as well. The number of collisions is starting to fall as well as a result of increased traffic. Although we still have concerns, we are catching more people.” e depend on help The RCMP from the public are receiving tips and they have been helping us from residents and from the Batwith more tips, so tle River Rural that helps us out a lot.

Crime Watch.

“We depend on help from the public and they have been helping us with more tips, so that helps us out a lot,” said Verbaas.

“When I first came here, there were a lot of false alarm calls reported. That seems to have dropped off and it is excellent news.”

Reeve Don Gregorwich asked if the false alarm bylaw helped to reduce those numbers.

“I think so, it made people aware they could be fined for not setting their alarms properly. That reduction has allowed us to respond to more important calls,” said Verbaas.

Councillor Jack Lyle asked why no robberies were reported, but several thefts were and what is the difference.

“Theft is something that happens when no one is around and a robbery is a forced taking from someone directly. We are fortunate that violent crimes are quite low in this county,” said Verbaas.

He attributed the strategy on crimes across Canada to the lower rates nationally.

In Alberta, the number of rural crimes has gone down about 11 per cent from the previous year.

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.

Kodiaks hammer Canucks

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks out shot the Calgary Canucks 48-18 on their way to beat them 6-1 on Jan. 5.

Six different goal scorers provided the offence for Camrose. The Kodiaks received tallies from Tyler Schendel and McKenzie Welke before Calgary got on the scoreboard late in the first frame.

In the second, it was all Camrose as they fired 23 shots at the Canucks’ cage.

Carson Kurylo, Zach Vinnell, Kyler Kupka and Eric Miller collected markers for Camrose. Both Kupka and Miller scored while the Kodiaks were shorthanded.

Goalie Griffin Bowerman made 15 of 16 saves before Cooper Kennedy came in to make two saves on two shots in the scoreless third period.

Camrose lost 5-2 to the Calgary Mustangs on Jan. 6.

The horses scored first, but the teams were even for the rest of the first and second periods.

In the third, Calgary exploded for four goals to pull out the victory. Cale Chalifoux and Carson Welke replied for the Kodiaks.

Bowerman stopped 32 of 36 shots, while his teammates fired 37 shots on the Calgary net.

The Kodiaks hit the road to take on Brooks and Okotoks. They are home for two games on Jan. 18 and 19 against Drumheller and Brooks with 7 p.m. start times. After a three-game road swing in Lloydminster, Grande Prairie and Whitecourt, the Kodiaks close out the month at home against Spruce Grove on Jan. 30.

Bear facts

When Roddy Ross left Camrose to play for the Seattle Thunderbirds it left a void in net for the Kodiaks.

But, 20-year-old Kyle Dumba, formerly of the Victoria Grizzlies has joined the Kodiaks. He played for his hometown Calgary Mustangs back in 2015-16.

This season he posted a 6-3-1 record with a .927 save percentage and a 3.08 goals against average in Victoria, after playing 12 games with Surrey of the BCHL. In other moves at the trade deadline, the Kodiaks acquired former local (New Norway) player Cody Laskosky from the Sherwood Park Crusaders.

Laskosky scored nine goals and added two assists for Sherwood Park after scoring four goals and adding seven assists for the Olds Grizzlys. He started in the AJHL with the Whitecourt Wolverines.

Camrose then sent Ethan Heidepriem to Pembroke in exchange for future considerations.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, January 15, 2019 – Page 31

Augustana area sidewalk concerns Continued from page 22

Enarson indicated that there are other locations throughout the city that are missing sidewalks and there are at least 100 locations in the city where there are existing sidewalks with no wheelchair ramps at one end of the block or the other which creates barriers around the city for people with mobility concerns. “We are trying to balance the needs of the Augustana area with all the other capital needs within the city.”

Enarson also explained that the neighbour residents can formally petition to have a new project introduced, or an existing project advanced within the capital plan.

City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd explained that the City tries to coordinate work done on the underground infrastructure with that done on surface infrastructure in an effort to make the best use of taxpayers dollars.

Councillor Max Lindstrand inquired about the road conditions in the Augustana area and sug-

gested that some of the franchise moneys for road rehabilitation be used to conduct sidewalk work in areas that are in dire need, such as Augustana.

Enarson indicated that for the most part, the Augustana roads are in much better condition than the sidewalks due to work that was completed in the 1980s to replace underground infrastructure.

When the underground water pipes were replaced, the sidewalk conditions were still in good condition, and so there was no need to replace the sidewalks at that time.

Councillor David Ofrim asked Becker what, if any attempt, had been made by the ANA ( Augustana Neighbourhood Association) to contact and speak to the property owners of rental properties.

Becker replied that no one with the ANA had made any contact with landlords. “The prospect of talking to all of the residents on 46 Street, the worst street in terms of the sidewalks, would mean someone (ANA board member) taking time and ener-

gy to contact everyone,” said Becker, adding that while the area residents are responsible, the City should take some responsibility as well.

Mayor Norm Mayer summed up what he viewed to be the request by the ANA, as having council initiate a local improvement process that may or may not be supported by the people who live in the area.

Becker responded by saying that the ANA are seeking assistance on initiating the process.

“We are in a dire situation with respect to the neighourhood.”

Boyd responded, “The gap that we are trying to fill here is about timing.

The process in our capital plan for 46 Street, for example, won’t initiate until 2020 because we will be doing the underground infrastructure, then we will be initiating that process.”

Mayor Mayer suggested council would need time to further discuss the concerns.
