Safe Deer Crossings
Patrol officer Marc Cossette will have his radar gun ready for speeders blasting through deer crossings in the City.
The insurance industry is breathing a sign of relief. Auto body shop owners are less than enthusiastic. Environmentalists and nature lovers are doing a happy dance. Gardeners are taking a wait-and-see approach.

Camrose is the site for a new provincial wildlife stewardship pilot program with the goal for residents and deer, alike, to co-mingle in a more amicable fashion. Over the next six days, beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, March 27th, and continuing throughout the week leading up to the April 1 implementation date, seven locations on streets and avenues of the City of Camrose, which statistically have experienced the highest number of vehicle collisions with deer, will be outfitted with new speed limit signage. Each will notify drivers to decrease speed, from 50 kph to 30 kph, on a brief stretch of roadway. Each of the crossing areas will also be equipped with yellow overhead warning signals, the type that are presently installed near schools and playground areas. The third measure is to install grain feeding stations for the deer on both sides of each crossing. The feed available will serve a three-fold purpose: With continued problems moving grain to market, due to rail lines moving towards hauling crude oil instead of grain, local farmers will have a new revenue stream as they sell product grown directly to the province’s “Safe Deer” project. Direct feeding will also mean deer will have to rely less on the petunias, pansies, roses and cedar trees in homeowners yards, for survival. These stations will also condition deer to use the formal crossings instead of wandering streets at will. A notification on Camrose Now! next Monday will remind drivers to slow and keep Camrose’s beloved deer population safe from harm. Read more on page 2.

Front page story continued…. With just five days left before the April 1 implementation date of the Safe Deer Crossing program in Camrose, it’s time to put some deep thinking into how you will adjust your driving skills to match the goal of this important initiative. Don’t underestimate how crucial this undertaking is to our local deer program, and let’s not forget about the grilles and hoods of our cars. Now is not the time to phone Premier Notley, Mayor Norman Mayer, City Manager Malcolm Boyd or Camrose Police Service Chief Mark Neufeld to thank them for their quiet leadership on this leading initiative. It is time, however, to realize that April 1 is always a special day – a fun day. It’s April Fool’s Day! And, we hope this story brought at least a little smile to your face and joy to your day. Now, go drive with caution. And, watch for out for those darn deer!

Three feel-good things
First, the obvious. It’s spring! Not just on the calendar, but really. Some years March 21 is technically the first day of spring, but the weather doesn’t take the hint. Happily, this year on March 21 we were blessed with warm spring sunshine. Just a few weeks ago, with -30 temperatures and more snow falling from grey skies, it felt as though winter
had gone on forever. I had visitors coming from the west coast–you know, where cherry trees are blooming and they’ve had recordbreaking high temperatures. The week before our guests were arriving, they checked out our weather, saw -30, and wondered if they should cancel their flights to Alberta! Mercifully, by the time they arrived, we’d moved from deep freeze to thaw-and-freeze. Not exactly cherry blossom weather, but somewhat more civilized for visitors from warmer regions. As I’m writing this, the temperature is well above freezing. Blue sky, warm air, dry sidewalks… I’m in heaven. At one point I was frustrated, trying to use a new technology. With no access to a clever 12-year-old, I couldn’t figure it out. Then I couldn’t figure out how to reach customer support. Tooth gnash. Sigh. A quick walk outside in warm spring sunshine put everything back in perspective. ***
Second, “Come From Away” was a total feel-good experience. It’s a musical play about Gander, Newfoundland on Sept. 11, 2001, when 38 planes carrying about 7,000 people were diverted to Gander’s airport. The town and its neighbouring communities opened their buildings, their homes and their hearts to the traumatized strangers (called Come From Aways) for about five days. Everything in the play is based on real incidents. It’s an amazing story of generosity and kindness, resourcefulness and humour. (Example: How do you store food for 7,000 unexpected guests? Turn the hockey arena into the world’s largest walk-in refrigerator). When the play was over, the entire packed Jubilee Auditorium rose as one for the longest loudest standing ovation I’ve ever experienced. Proud Canadians. I also watched a documentary about Gander’s 9/11 experience and the musical. When local people heard someone was creating a play about them–a musical–they wondered how that could possibly work. Some Gander residents attended the play’s opening night on Broadway. One of them said, “We wondered if they would make us look like bumbling fools. But they nailed it. They got us.” ***
Third, more kindness of strangers. A friend posted this message on Facebook. “My car quit on the 87th Avenue bridge over the Henday today. No less than 10 people stopped to offer help, a ride, a phone, something, in the half hour I waited for the tow truck. Absolutely blew me away. We live in a pretty great place.” I used to think that only people in smaller communities were kind to others. In cities, I thought, people don’t know their neighbours and everybody is impersonal and uncaring. Not true! Henday is one of the busiest freeways in and around Edmonton. The 87th Avenue Bridge is a high-traffic area. And ten people stopped! Some city people may not know their neighbours but that doesn’t mean they won’t help others. I flashed back to when two teenage nieces and I visited New York. We prairie folk were way out of our depth, gawking around. A few blocks off Broadway, we were trying to find an address. We were standing on a corner with a map, looking around and not finding our destination. From behind us came a booming voice. “Ya look lost. Can I help ya?” A man wearing a hard hat, part of a road repair crew, stepped over the barriers and onto the sidewalk. We told him where we wanted to go. He showed us exactly the right direction. As we thanked him, he said, “Enjoy New Yawk,” stepped back over the barriers, waved and carried on working. In New York! The kindness of strangers. So what made you feel good this week? ***

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. History lessons
I agree with Mr. Gaede, “those who don’t learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.” (Repeat History, March 5). I am a student of politics and history and, if history teaches us anything, it teaches us that socialism brings nothing but misery. He draws our attention to “the well-known gap between the rich and the poor,” suggesting that this gap is the result of capitalism and free markets. Nothing could be further from the truth. Canada has been doing the slow-dance with socialism since the beginning of the 20th Century and the more we adopt socialist policies the greater the gap has grown. Have you never wondered why so many of our “privileged classes” support socialist policies? Have you not heard of “billionaire socialists”? I first learned of this connection when Alexa McDonough, leader of the federal NDP, was described as the daughter of a “billionaire socialist.” You see, socialism benefits the rich. Socialism and the wealthy have a symbiotic relationship. The rich get special protections, both regulatory and financial, which allow them to escape the punitive taxation. Socialist politicians get power. The SNC Lavalin controversy is a case in point. Companies such as Lavalin regularly receive lucrative government contracts, subsidies, tax breaks, protection from prosecution, and regulatory favors from corrupt governments. Sometimes called “crony capitalism” these oligarchies are the natural offspring of the marriage of government and business. Socialism is the fig
leaf that lets them hide the real fruit of their con-game. The outcome is poisonous. Economic and social decline. Learn the lessons of history, every province in Canada that has elected a socialist government has suffered economic collapse. Every new socialist program makes us poorer and increases the gape between the rich and the poor. Yes, Mr. Gaede, “those who don’t learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.” Dave Gosse, Camrose Young talent
Checking out Facebook a few weeks ago, I saw the poster for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, About Time Productions’ musical show, Cargill Theatre March 1 to 6. On the spur of the moment I booked a flight and travelled over 7,000 km from my home in Yorkshire, England to see it. Not only is it produced and directed by my daughter-inlaw, but my oldest grandchild has been performing. Wow. What a show. Well worth the journey. The singing was superb with great harmonies and amazing solos. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the young performers, but their professional approach was clear to see. Their movement around the stage flowed easily and worked well with the music. No doubt this apparently effortless choreography was only achieved after months of hard work by all concerned. The whole ATP team deserve praise, so much preparation must have been made in planning, directing, musical coaching, costumes, set design and sound and lighting, not to forget the essential support from
HEALTHY DONATION
the backstage staff. Most of all though, I was beyond impressed by the young performers, who gave 100 per cent and made my trip to see them so worthwhile. Camrose should be proud of them all. Christine Johnson, England Above law
While reading the recent letter titled “SNC Lavalin” I thought...the truth is not obvious to this guy. Jody Wilson-Raybould spoke the truth with clarity—that is the greatest evidence that truth has been spoken, but the hearer does need ears to hear and eyes to see that this is the “real issue,” which needs to be dealt with and not to be “swept under the carpet.” As some have pointed out, both Jody W-R and Jane Philpott are doing what is right, and according to our Criminal Code: Section 3, under “Factors Not To Consider” it declares that jobs or the economy are not to rise above the law, or be considered above justice. Further to this “real issue” of which we can thank our previous PM Harper who wrote into our law, within the Constitution, that whenever the attorney-general reverses a decision of the public prosecutor (which Jody W-R did) it must be made public to the Canadians. Any attempt to ignore an obstruction of justice or prove it as a false accusation should be dealt with by the RCMP. There is currently in Canada a push for Islamic sharia law and real Canadians need to push back harder. Tina Kawalilak, Edmonton, formerly from Daysland

Camrose-Battle River French-Canadian Association members, along with WetaskiwinCamrose MLA Bruce Hinkley and City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer, raised the FrancoAlbertan flag on March 6.
Churchmice Players, a local theatre group, are searching for performers to be in the next production. The Addams Family, a New Musical Comedy will be hitting the Bailey Theatre stage on Oct. 31. That’s Halloween, how scary is that! The timing couldn’t be better. An Addams Family animated movie is slated to open on Oct. 18. Auditions for the Camrose show will be held on March 28 and 29 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Camrose United Church. Actors and actresses are urged to prepare a one-minute monologue and a musical number (to be performed a cappella), both of your choice. Most of all, bring your talent. You are also asked to bring a passport-type headshot photograph. Performers include chorus/dancers (minimum 12 years of age), and nonperformers such as stage crew (set construction, props, stage manager, stage hands, costumers, make-up and hair) are also needed. The story unfolds from when Wednesday has grown up and fallen in love with a ‘normal’ boy, with ‘normal parents’ and they are coming to
dinner. As the outlandish Addams Family celebrate the Gathering of the Ancestors, Gomez breaks the news to Morticia... Roles available are: female: Wednesday-about 18 years; Morticia-her mother; Grandma-agelessly old; Alice-boyfriends mother. Male: Gomez-Wednesday’s father; Fester-her uncle; Pugsley-her brother; Lurch-the butler; Lucas- Wednesday’s boyfriend; Mal-his father. Chorus and dancers needed are 10 ghostly beings. (Due to the size restrictions of the stage, we will be unable to increase numbers of the chorus.) Rehearsal schedule will include taking the summer months off. Addams Family will be playing at the Bailey Theatre on Oct, 31, Nov. 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 at 7 p.m. Nov. 3 and 10 starting at 2 p.m. with matinees. On opening night prizes for the best costume will be awarded. There is no dinner theatre that night, but there will be on Nov. 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9.
Celebrating Albertan Francophonie Month Submitted
Many bilingual activities organized by the Camrose-Battle River FrenchCanadian Association took place in Camrose to celebrate the French language and cultures. The Franco-Albertan flag raising ceremony took place on March 6 despite the extreme cold temperature. While students were unable to walk to attend, dignitaries and a few community members were in attendance as Mayor Norman Mayer raised the flag. On March 12, 18 students from various schools and French programs and two people from Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta were presented with the Prix d’excellence de la francophonie for their accomplishments in their study of French. The awards ceremony was part of the sixth edition of the always bilingual Célébration de la francophonie at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. The program included greetings from University of Alberta Augustana Campus dean Allen Berger; a presentation from Mr.
Denis Perreaux, director of the Société historique francophone de l’Alberta; songs performed by local students; and an interview with Mr. Bernie Rostaing who shared a part of his French family history with the public. Over 100 students, parents and friends were able to visit many information booths such as the Camrose Genealogical Society, the Camrose Public Library and Canadian Parents for French. The University of Alberta Bookstore held a French book fair, children were able to enjoy making a craft, and some schools showcased some of their students’ projects about their own family roots. Organizers hope that more schools will participate in future editions of this event. To mark the Journée internationale de la francophonie on March 20, an informal gathering was enjoyed at Fox and Fable Book and Games Café. For more information about the French-Canadian Association of Alberta and local bilingual activities to come, email camrose@acfa.ab.ca.

OLMP students learn about reconciliation By Murray Green
Students of all ages from OLMP School learned what it was like to go to a school for Indigenous people 50 years ago. The school celebrated Indigenous Awareness Day on March 13 with guest speakers, demonstrations and music. OLMP is honouring the truth and reconciliation commission’s call to action on awareness, acknowledgement, atonement and action of what happened to children in Alberta.
Former Cree chief Wilton Littlechild recalled stories of hardships he had as a child and how he worked hard to become a lawyer, chief and a Canadian Sports Hall of Fame member. “Firstly, I want to commend this school because as far back as 10 years ago, before a truth and reconciliation commission was established, you were already working on reconciliation. What does that word mean? Close your eyes for a moment and imagine yourself as a five-year-old child and hav-
ing fun at home. Parents imagine your home with children’s voices. All of a sudden someone makes a law and someone picks up all of the children and put them in a institution called a residential school,” explained Willie. “We were told that we can no longer speak our language. One of the first things they did was take your name away from you. The parents were not allowed to visit their children and told they won’t see them for 10 months. How would you feel? Every time you spoke a different language you were going to get a licking. The first notion as a parent is to protect your child. They were told that you are not allowed to visit or see them. When you do that to a group of people, what happens to the child? Sometimes children were allowed to go home at Christmas, others wouldn’t be allowed.”
He shared his experiences in school and the separation. “I was put in a school at six-years-old. We had about 500 students in one of the largest schools in Canada. Oh, by the way, you would be separated from your brothers and sisters. You will not be allowed to talk to your brothers and sisters. I didn’t know my four brothers and seven sisters until I was an adult. I knew them by names, but didn’t know them as sisters or brothers,” said Willie. He asked what happens to the child and the trauma that this has caused. He shared information of the various school where some went home at night, others where they went home for holidays and others where their were dormitories where children stayed for most of the year. “In the news, we heard the Prime Minister apolo-

gizing to the Iqaluit people for tuberculous. A school this size was known as TB schools because everyone was living so close together. If one got sick, everyone was sick. It was the darkest, saddest and most unknown story in Canadian history.” He told the students his real name in Cree. It means walking wolf in English. “My English name is now Willie. But when I was six-years-old, Jan. 6, when I went to school my name was changed. I was known only as 65-65 come here you idiot. Sixth-five pick that up stupid. Sixtyfive why did you do that? So when you do that to children, what happens? I have to say I have been absolutely blessed in many ways,” said the same child who went on to become a lawyer. “I have been to 42 countries. Yesterday, there was a plane crash. I was to go to Kenya because I work for the United Nations. But, God works in mysterious ways. I told them I couldn’t go because I had to come to Camrose and talk to this school. So, thank you for saving my life,” exclaimed Willie. “You saved my life. I have had colleagues assassinated over the years that I have worked with at the UN. I have also been blessed to play in 11 countries in nine different cups. I have seen a little bit of the world and experience different things and schools,” said the hockey player and swimmer. “Indigenous Awareness Day is about peace and friendship. The peace pipe is about peace. It reminds us to be strong and disciplined in what we do. We need to share with others and be kind. Wetaskiwin, just down the road from here, means hills of peace. It is a beautiful Cree name,” said Willie. “Learn about reconciliation and do what you can to make a difference. Set a goal in life and achieve it.”
Vision Credit Union to purchase Wetaskiwin branch Submitted
The board of directors of Encompass Credit Union and Vision Credit Union confirmed that they have entered into a formal letter of intent for Vision to purchase the Wetaskiwin branch from Encompass. The initial discussions included Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Corporation to determine if this type of transaction between credit unions can occur. Once the credit unions understood what was required for the sale to take place, the letter was signed on March 15. The next phase will require both organizations to complete due diligence to ensure that the sale will benefit all stakeholders that will be impacted
by the sale. In partnership between Vision and Encompass, town hall meetings will take place in the Wetaskiwin area for membership to learn more and ask questions. If due diligence is approved by both organizations, Vision would welcome the members, branch and staff of the Wetaskiwin branch into their operations no later than Oct. 1. “Encompass Wetaskiwin shares common ground with Vision, not just geographically, but in its understanding of the character and financial services needs of our collective region. We’re excited about the possibility of working with the Wetaskiwin team and about serving the membership and trade
area,” said Alan Fielding, Vision Credit Union president. “Vision is rooted in this part of Alberta and committed to providing financial services to the people who live here.” If the transaction is approved, Vision Credit Union will serve over 26,000 members at 17 branch locations, with more than 175 staff members and approximately $1.16 billion in assets. Vision is the third largest credit union in Alberta. “Bringing Wetaskiwin into the Vision family will immediately create a stronger and more robust organization. Wetaskiwin would be Vision’s fifth largest branch, the closest outlying branch and will contribute to building strength
for the benefit of members, communities and staff,” said Steve Friend, CEO of Vision Credit Union “The board of Encompass voted unanimously in favor of exploring a sale of the Wetaskiwin branch to Vision. We feel that this will provide the membership and the staff in the Wetaskiwin area with greater access to support of a head office that is only 20 minutes away,” said Doug Callaghan, Encompass board chair. “This is a great example of collaboration between credit unions that we can make a decision that is mutually beneficial to both organizations and its members. We feel that Vision will bring an enhanced level of support to the mem-
bers, community and staff of the Wetaskiwin branch,” said Kelly Longley, president and CEO of Encompass Credit Union. Once the sale is completed, Encompass will focus support on its 9,000 members and seven locations in East Central Alberta. Encompass’ head office is located in Wainwright, with 70 staff and approximately $500 million in assets. Members that have any questions or concerns are encouraged to call 1-833-VCU-TALK (1-833828-8255) to speak with Vision CEO Friend, or visit our information site at www.whatsyourshare.ca/ wetaskiwin.

Proposed day care receives re-zoning By Murray Green
A home on 53 Street has been redistricted from high density residential, to institutional to allow the process to continue of allowing a day care. Council had concerns about a day care operating on the busy 53 Street. After some revisions, the proposed day care now has plans to use the back parking area of the building for drop-off and pick-up of children on private land. The proposed day care would be a place for children under five years old, with a maximum capacity of 40 children at one time. Spokesman for the day care, Josh Moore, said that, “The residents are in a rent to own agreement. The primary concern is for the safety of the children. The entrance will be at the back on the east side of the property. There will be four parking spots put in for bringing and picking up children from the day care. The front door will be
closed and used as a fire door only. “The children are not just dropped off, parents take them in with them and they have to sign in and out of the day care. If all four spots are being used, there are spots directly to the north that can also be used. It is a limited use road, meaning a lower traffic count. People parking on 51st Street can safely take their children into the day care by using the sidewalk.” The employees will not be allowed to use those drop-off spots for parking. Councillor Kevin Hycha asked about the hours of operation, which have been proposed from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. The day care would have to meet all requirements needed to operate a day care in Alberta before opening. Concerns against the proposal were about the high traffic on 53rd Street and line-ups when trains go through the area.

TRAVEL MEDICAL INSURANCE FROM THE PEOPLE YOU TRUST. Perils of political power
If you read the news regularly, you might not be surprised to find political pundits claiming that we’re now living in an age of unprecedented public anger, fueling political division and hostility between the left and right. Locally and around the globe, media point to the growth of various protest movements, populist politics, and acts of extremism as evidence of this growing rage. Sean Moore, One of the overlooked norms Psychology, Augustana of many Western democracies Campus, University is the historical encourageof Alberta ment of citizens to accept and express greater anger in the public realm relative to our private lives. In our home lives, we’re encouraged to show restraint and practice things such as empathy and communication. In contrast, the expression of hostility, dislike, and negativity toward our political institutions and elected leaders appears normal. But why is anger in politics encouraged when it’s frowned upon in other settings? It might partly be tied to the traditions and values underlying our democratic political systems that prioritize individual freedoms and expressions of diverse opinions in the public realm. But this broad value for free expression of political feelings doesn’t necessarily explain why there are historical fluctuations in the expression of public anger or why some democratic nations, such as Japan, frown on public anger and protest. Another possibility is that historical events like economic recessions, government scandals, or other dramatic social upheavals might lead to the rise and fall of political anger. What is often overlooked is that hostility and anger are strategically promoted and deployed by some political actors in order to advance their power and political opportunities. Research into the science of emotion have reached some consensus about what causes anger and how people react to this kind of feeling. From a psychological standpoint, anger is what is labelled as an “approach-related” emotion, meaning that it encourages people to engage with others in social situations. Anger typically arises when we feel our individual goals have been blocked by another person or social actor and these kinds of feelings act as an energizing force used to confront and change the source of our perceived frustrations. In democratic politics, if we are angered by a policy, political organization, or politician, anger is associated with a greater likelihood of action such a protesting, volunteering, or voting. From this perspective, the energizing value of increasing public anger is beneficial because it encourages more people to participate in politics and seek political change. Yet elevated public anger has also been shown to have many drawbacks, including increasing the likelihood of violence, aggression, public expressions of hate and social division. While this kind of aggression is often not the goal of politicians, it is the less obvious effects on thinking and perception that can be highly beneficial to political campaigns. Increased anger has been consistently shown to narrow people’s attentional focus, think in terms of short-term consequences, misperceive or blame erroneous sources for our feelings, and generally think less critically. In other words, encouraging anger elicits more short-sighted, impulsive action (think about what happened the last time you made an angry decision). Thus, a politician who encourages anger can potentially increase their share of the vote by intentionally mislabelling their opponents as the cause of public anger, then offer simplistic or demonstrably inappropriate solutions to complex social problems (something like building a wall to deal with complex immigration issues). Can we avoid the long-term pitfalls of anger being intentionally elicited by politicians? Psychologically, the solutions are readily available to us and they’re the same ones that we’re encouraged to use in our personal lives. If a political issue angers us, we should take a step back, reflect on the situation, and try to better understand the sources of our anger as well as better label our feelings to avoid blaming our anger on incorrect causes. We should also try to avoid the urge to act impulsively and strive to re-channel our energies into actions that will benefit our families or communities. And if we really want to let politicians know that we don’t want to be so callously manipulated by these kind of divisive tactics, we can always let them know at the ballot box.

Moderator Melodie Stol, left, asks questions to, from left, Bruce Hinkley, Jackie Lovely and Kevin Smook.
Before the writ was dropped to call an election in Alberta, The Bethany Group asked three candidates who already stepped forward to let their name stand. Moderator Melodie Stol, stakeholders relations advisor with The Bethany Group, welcomed United Conservative Party’s Jackie Lovely, Alberta Party’s Kevin Smook and New Democratic Party’s Morgan Branford to speak. Due to work commitments, MLA Bruce Hinkley spoke on Branford’s behalf. How will you ensure seniors thrive in your community through proper access to wellness supports? “We have developed a new program called Aging Well Community Grant Program. This is to support Alberta seniors to live safely and independently in their chosen communities, so this has already been started. The first phase totals $1.66 million and is going to 28 different organizations to help remove some of the barriers seniors need to stay in their communities as they age,” said Hinkley. “My work with the Good Samaritan Society has given me exposure to various needs of our seniors. I have established a strong network of senior serving organizations that give referrals based on need. I help seniors access benefits. Our seniors’ needs are not a one size fits all situation. It is important to know how to access information,” said Lovely. “One of the boards that I am appointed to is the Tofield Health Services Foundation. The focus is helping with patient care and developing wellness. It makes sense to encourage wellness, so people don’t have to use the health centre as much. I believe we need to increase the wellness components through

physical activity and other social times. In Camrose, we have pretty good transportation here. I would like to see more rural transportation,” said Smook. Do you have a personal story related to seniors housing and/or supports– what gaps do you see and what are the solutions being promoted by yourself and your party? “Housing is offered through my employer Good Samaritan Society and has been in existence for 70 years and is not-for-profit. It provides quality accommodation, health and community care, and programming for aging individuals. I have had the pleasure of visiting many individuals in our facilities and the Choice program is the one I’m most proud of. It provides seniors who have complex medical issues or conditionals who otherwise might be admitted to a continuing care centre, the advantage of living at home by offering home services,” said Lovely. “My parents are aging and are at that stage now where they are contemplating where they are going to go next. The other thing, I’m a real estate agent, I see seniors deciding what to do with their house and where to go. One of the gaps is rural transportation. Another gap is acute care beds who might be better served somewhere else,” said Smook. “My mother collapsed and had to take an ambulance to the hospital. For three days she was on a dolly in a hallway at the Grey Nuns Hospital. I thought, is this anyway to treat seniors? The fourth day she was finally moved into a room, a shared room, but he was in such pain that he was hollering and screaming all night long and she couldn’t sleep. Finally, she got her own room on the fifth night, but they said she was fine and
780-782-4047
could go home again. She never complained and she was touched by how hard the nurses were working. Some were working many hours of overtime because they were so short-staffed. It wasn’t that they didn’t have room, they closed a wing because they didn’t have enough staff to look after it. I couldn’t accept that as senior support, so that is why I got into politics, to help change things,” said Hinkley. Seniors can end up in hospital, while waiting for placement in the continuing care stream. We know this to be costly, can lead to surgeries being cancelled and have a negative impact on a senior’s quality of life as they are not in a more home-like setting with supports and activities. What approaches are you advocating for to reduce the waiting between acute care and seniors being placed in the continuing care stream? “If you have a situation where there is room, although it is not ideal, outside of acute care, then why are we not using that space. We need to be more flexible and have support in place to help patients be better served. I know costs are involved,” said Smook. “We know wait times have an impact across the health care system. We are looking at efficiencies throughout the system and we have found some good ideas. These issues have been around a long time and we are working to get through them,” said Hinkley. “We need to get government out of the way to let this happen. Eliminating carbon tax and lowering taxes for businesses will allow this sector to thrive. We have an aging population that requires care. Continued on page 34

Stepping into spring, putting a spring in your step By Camrose Seniors Coaltion
Spring is in the air and as the snow melts we start to notice that things need to be cleaned up. For many of us it is time to spring clean. Spring cleaning according to its definition is “the practice of thoroughly cleaning one’s house in the springtime.” Cleaning up the clutter and clearing out the dust bunnies sounds simple for some, and daunting for others. There is a difference between someone who has clutter in their home, and someone who is a hoarder. Clutter is a confused collection or crowded group. De-cluttering involves categorizing items, cleansing items tossing them in the garbage or donating/recycling items and configuring a space for items you want to keep. Hoarding is a debilitating disorder, due to acquisition of a large volume of possessions that clutter living areas, so that spaces cannot be used for their intended purpose. As we age in place and live in our spaces, all

Local athletes earn medals at 55 plus Winter Games By Murray Green
Local participants in the Alberta 55 Plus Winter Games, in Cold Lake, were successful in bringing home medals from Feb. 28 to March 3. About 780 participants from across Alberta were in 12 activities from alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, euchre, table shuff leboard, five pin bowling, ice curling, darts, hockey, snooker, scrabble, duplicate bridge to pickleball. “The opening ceremonies provided awesome entertainment and great food. The weather was not our friend, but the Cold Lake organizing committee did a great job of shuttling participants to and from their events,” said Rose Snopek, Zone 4 activity director. Camrose participants were very successful, bringing home medals. Sharon Olsen earned a bronze in 65 plus ladies scratch five-pin bowling, Linda Stevenson a gold in 70 plus ladies darts; Irene Gartner a silver in 55 plus scrabble; Frank and Rosella Snopek a bronze in 70 plus table shuff leboard, Jim Ofrim a bronze in 60 plus hockey; Maurice Johnson a silver in 75 plus hockey; Ronald Richard a silver in both 55 plus men’s cross-country 7.5km and 15 km; Ivar Saugen two silvers in 75 plus men’s cross-country 7.5 km and 15 km; Helen Samm two golds in five km and in 10 km. “Yes, they raced in that frigid weather, what

Kodiaks rally against Oilers to avoid sweep By Murray Green
When the Camrose Kodiaks had their backs to the wall, they clawed back. Down 3-0 in both games and score in the fourth game, the bears fought hard to win 4-3 at home on March 19. Kyler Kupka was the hometown hero as he garnered both the tying and winning tally to complete the comeback. In fact, he also set up the first Camrose marker to get the comeback rolling. Kupka’s first goal came on a power play mid-way through the third period. The winner crossed the red line with about two minutes left on the clock. Carson Kurylo started the scoring for the Kodiaks and McKenzie Welke was given credit for a tally that Okotoks seemed to score on their own net. Okotoks had control of the game in every department, except on the scoreboard. Goalie Kyle Dumba turned in his best performance as a Kodiak by stop-
ping 51 of 54 shots directed his way. Camrose recorded 21 shots on goal. In the third game, Okotoks did dominate on the scoreboard with a 6-1 win on March 18. Kupka notched the only Camrose marker late in the third frame. Dumba stopped 50 of 56 shots fired at him, while his teammates only generated 12 on the Okotoks net. Okotoks won the first two games at home with 5-3 and 5-1 scores.

Stepping into spring, putting a spring in your step Continued from page 13
How to free yourself and your family from a lifetime of clutter. The death cleaning concept is based on the idea that when we prepare for our death, we prepare our possessions in a way that makes their disbursement simplified for our loved ones. So as you can see, there is a range of “cleanliness” from one extreme (ex: minimalists) to the other (ex: hoarders). Most people fit into the mid range on this continuum. According to Lynn Neufeld from Age and Stage Moves people who are downsizing fit into one of three categories: The Do’er The Don’ter and the Can’ter. Do’ers are individuals who recognize the importance of downsizing and take a proactive approach and get started early. They are physically and mentally able to do the work, can
work independently and easily complete a project. Don’ters are individuals who begin the process of de-cluttering, but are quickly paralyzed and become indecisive by an emotional attachment to many items. When they touch an item or open a box they have memories and emotions, which can be enjoyable unless they are on a timeline. This process can prevent them from completing the project. Can’ters are individuals who are unable to complete the project. Whether it is due to a physical or cognitive restriction, or they don’t have time, the project does not get done. As time passes people’s situations change and they may not be able to complete the project and at a certain point, individuals may not have the physical or mental stamina to downsize. For the do’ers and
don’ters out there, you can enlist the power within you, your friends/family or hire a housekeeper service. Set aside a time, create a plan, downsize in small chunks. Donate items to your family and friends or places like the Camrose Family Thrift shop, Camrose Emergency Clothing Depot, Habitat for Humanity Restore, or a local church for the season of upcoming church garage sales. For pick up of items from your home contact Restore or the diabetes association. Donations will help others in our community and will put a smile on your face. For the can’ters out there you can enlist the expertise of a professional. Having a third party service decreases stress, increases eff iciency, secures family relationships and creates better outcomes for all involved.
It allows clients to remain in control, allows clients the experience of the gift of giving, and allows celebrating of success. Look for an upcoming downsizing seminar hosted by Neufeld this spring. In the case of a senior grappling with a hoarding situation there may be
financial assistance available. Contact SOS (Service Options for Seniors) www. soscamrose.ca. For more information about the Seniors Coalition or other services for seniors, contact CDSS at 780-672-0141 or check our website: www.camrosefcss. ca.

Augustana spring plays
The University of Alberta Augustana Campus winter production class presents two plays: Concord Floral and Foreplay or: The Art of the Fugue for seven performances.
On the front page names were supplied to us for the play Foreplay or: The Art of the Fugue, but Elizabeth should have been introduced as Elizabeth Gilchrist.
We are five weeks and counting into the SNCLavalin scandal and there continues to be more questions than answers, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fails to be fully transparent and accountable. After three resignations, including that of two highly respected cabinet ministers and Trudeau’s right-hand man and long time friend, Gerald Butts, the Liberal government refuses to be the least bit contrite or accept full responsibility for their unethical behaviour. My last column on this issue was written a week before former Attorney General (AG), Jody WilsonRaybould, testified before the Justice Committee. Like so many Canadians, I was first shocked and then disgusted to learn about the extent of the political pressure exerted on her and her staff by those in the highest levels of government. Ms. Wilson-Raybould provided credible testimony as she spoke “her truth to power” after being silenced by Trudeau and maligned by some of her Liberal colleagues. Her account included detailed descriptions of 10 meetings and 10 phone calls involving 11 senior officials over a four-month span. According to Wilson-Raybould, the objective of this “consistent and sustained” effort was to convince her to politically interfere in the director of public prosecution’s decision to proceed in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin. Having a justice system free from political interference is a cornerstone of Canada’s institutions of government. Less than a week after the former AG’s stunning revelations, treasury board president, Jane Philpott, resigned from cabinet citing “serious concerns” with “evidence of efforts by politicians and/or officials to pressure Wilson-Raybould to intervene in the criminal case.” Ms. Philpott, perhaps Trudeau’s most competent minister, said she felt obligated to stand up for principles such as the rule of law and the integrity of the justice system even if it hurt her politically. I believe we would all be better MPs and people if we took to heart Philpott’s parting words, “there can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them.” The testimony of former principle secretary to the Prime Minister, Gerald Butts, at the justice committee, didn’t ease concerns that lines were crossed. While he certainly came across as a competent individual and did admit to knowing the trust he had with Wilson-Raybould had been damaged, he did not admit to pressuring her on this criminal matter. As most predicted, this has become a matter of “she said, he said” or failed recollections. To get to the bottom of this ever growing scandal, Conservative MP Lisa Raitt put forward a motion to the justice committee to subpoena all the emails and texts between Mr. Butts, other PMO staff, and the former AG. Predictably, the Liberal majority on the committee shot down the motion. They also voted against inviting Wilson-Raybould back to Committee to respond to Butt’s testimony. This is contrary to the second chance they granted the clerk of the Privy Council and others to respond to Wilson-Raybould’s assertions. For many, this issue will continue to be an unclear “she said, he said” on whether there was pressure put on the former AG to politically interfere in our justice system. However, one thing is clear: the facts strongly suggest the PMO wanted to let SNC-Lavalin off the hook. From the number of meetings the PMO took with SNC prior to making Deferred Prosecution Agreement’s (DPA) legal, some believe DPAs were tailored made for SNC, to the many meetings afterwards. From the alleged illegal and legal financial contributions made to the Liberal Party by SNC, to the repeated meetings and phone calls made by PMO and the clerk of Privy Council to Wilson-Raybould. To me, and to the many constituents who have written me on this issue, this is a clear case of political interference. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

These two artists released their joint album Twin Flames Jaaji and Chelsey June at Cabaret la Basoche where they were chosen as favorite upcoming artists in 2015. “It hasn’t been very many years where Indigenous people have been able to be on main stages across Canada and have public voices. We acknowledge that and are super grateful when we get to be on a stage and we are excited about reconciliation that is happening in our country. When people come to the show and discover something, you can see the effort Canadians are making the decision to understand and bridge those gaps,” explained Chelsey. “Going into schools is an important
Twin Flame band members, wife and husband team, not only share music from their languages, they share stories of their lives. The couple and three accompanying musicians will be sharing northern music at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, April 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m. Twin Flames is led by Chelsey June, an Algonquin Cree Métis woman from Ottawa and Jaaji an Inuk Mohawk man from Nunavik and Kahnawake. “Getting a chance to go to and perform where we haven’t been to before and meet new people has been a dream of ours. We are super happy to be going to Alberta and Camrose,” said Chelsey. Despite polar opposite backgrounds, Twin Flames found a common musical language. Together they take the audience on a musical journey across Canada and the Arctic. They echo the voices of their ancestors and depict life on the land as they sing songs in English, French and Inuktitut, leaving audiences fascinated and intrigued. “It is a story-telling journey where we invite listeners to come along with us and we share our personnel backgrounds of culture and heritage as human beings. When we invite you to our concert, it is about coming together, no matter our nationality or background. It is sharing music and everything,” said Chelsey. “We may even teach people a few Indigious or Inuktitut words. When it comes from us, rather than people hearing it from others, it offers our experiences and who we are as people. We are able to do that in a safe space without making people feel uncomfortable,” added Jaaji.
part of what we do; talking to those who will be our future, it is important to educate students on our culture,” she said. “We are really looking forward to this trip. Travelling to Alberta. We write songs about places, and people we meet, so it is good for us to travel to places we haven’t been to before,” shared Jaaji. “We were asked to write and perform a song for the United Nations, UNESCO. Our new single ‘Humans’ marks the year of Indigious Languages, so we recorded it and produced a video. We went to Paris, France to perform the song. It was a moment in life that passed our wildest dreams,” concluded Chelsey.

Valdy returns for more stories
Duggan Cinemas is on and
By Murray Green
Canadian music icon Valdy is no stranger to Camrose. He has played at the Canadian Bull Congress, Bailey Theatre and several house concerts in the area over the years and fans keep asking him to come back. The folk singer will be playing at the Bailey Theatre on Thursday, April 4 beginning at 8 p.m. “ I recall the Bailey vividly. So few of these original theatres are still on the map and I recall the renovations allowed the gathered vibe of the place to remain,” he remembered. Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for over 34 years. A man with a thousand friends from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Texas to New Zealand, he’s a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small, but telling moments that make up life. “The Bull Congress was played with Gary Fjellgaard. We enjoyed that gig. It allowed us to connect with farmers and breeders from far afield, as that was an international event,” Valdy explained. Remembered for “Play Me a Rock and Roll Song,” his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, a relaxed and amiable storyteller, facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival circa 1968, Valdy has sold almost half a million copies of his 13 albums, has two Juno Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year), a total of seven Juno nominations and four gold albums to his credit. “Longevity in this business is not just artist-based, it’s fans as well. Re-connecting with folks who’ve been supportive for years is satisfying, both to recognize that I am not a one-hit-wonder, and to share the old and new repertoires with these folks,” Valdy added. “It is self-affirming to still be able to connect musically with folks, and to re-connect with long-time supporters. There are many choices available to music lovers, so attendance at my shows is as much a compliment as it is re-affirming. I have some new material to share, and I am still learning, as a singer, a writer, and a musician,” continued Valdy. “Context is the reason for the stories, I think; the songs resonate in different ways when people get some background on the songs. Most stories are true, some have elements of truth that have morphed over the years, either through expo-

sure or declining memory. But they do the same job, they give context.” Everybody has a favourite Valdy song. “Different songs for different throngs, but definitely ‘Play Me a Rock’n’Roll Song’, ‘Yes I Can’ and ‘Peter and Lou’ from radio play. ‘Scruffy Dudes’, ‘The Rookery’ and perhaps ‘Hot Rocks’ from live performances. Also Ron Hynes’ ‘Sonny’s Dream.’” Valdy likes whatever is
fresh on his mind. “Usually I am enthralled with new material, so my most recent songs rate highly in my favourites. I still enjoy playing the hits, mostly because I play solo and can change with them as I see fit, rather than sticking to a given form. ‘Rolling North on Highway 63’ about the Fort Mac fire, and ‘Oh Tom We Miss You’, my tribute to the late Stompin’ Tom Connors, are two current faves of mine.”

St. Mary’s Hospital forms simulation team By Murray Green Three nurses from the Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose emergency department, have taken the challenge of becoming the hospital’s simulation team. Emergency room nurses Kristen Schmidt, Jaqueline Frost and Joni Bjorge use a mannequin and equipment to set up real life scenarios, giving new staff situational knowledge and understanding to provide clinical care to prepare for real-life situations. The team trains staff on high-risk situations, while giving them a safe environment to learn and ask questions. The simulations help staff cope with changing conditions and allow them to build critical thinking skills. In January, the St. Mary’s site administrator Cherylyn Antymniuk, awarded the simulation team a certificate of excellence for their hard work developing this great program. Last month, the staff learned about handling adult and pediatric seizures. Every month, some hospital staff join educational and simulated sessions to manage, recognize and treat emergency situations. This allows staff to be more comfortable in mediating real life situations. Dr. Louis Minders assists when available.

Attending concerts reduces stress, improves health By Murray Green
If you have a lot of stress in your life, the best thing you can do is attend a concert, or listen to music. The soothing sounds of music, whatever your genre tastes are, has a calming effect on your body and reduces stress. “There is a connection between music and health. “I’m not a health expert, but I wanted to share my notes on wellness. Alberta Blue Cross has realized that there is an advantage in being able to think about health in different ways. Music, community and culture is a great way to increase your quality of life and that can help your health,” said Meg Wilcox of CKUA radio in Calgary, through a live video presentation at the Bailey Theatre. “Going to concerts can
actually add years to your life. Research from London (England) shows that going for only 20 minutes to a concert, can give you a 21 per cent increase in your well being. Concert goers felt better about themselves and more mentally stimulated. Potentially, it can add up to nine years on to your life,” added Meg. “If you go to a concert every two weeks for 20 minutes you will feel better about yourself and your community.” Concert venues such as the Bailey Theatre, Camrose Resort Casino, various hotels and the Lougheed Centre are offering life enriching experiences. “It is not just a show. People come out a different person than when they came in. It is a new experience and they have connected with the commu-
nity in a new way. You are not just watching a show, you are becoming a better person,” continued Meg. She added that playing music also helps. Learning an instrument can make you smarter, about three IQ points. Dr. Val Smith of Camrose backed up Meg’s comments by saying volunteering helps your health and the community. “Venues like the Bailey Theatre can have a positive impact on everyone’s health. I went to university for 11 years to learn this, you can do better than me by just volunteering in what I call reverse magic,” said Dr. Val. “About 50 per cent of older adults say television is their source of company. I can tell you many times, doing geriatric counselling, that when I ask them what they do to pass the
time away, they say watch television. After they say that, they add there is nothing good on television anymore,” she said. “Imagine, that is their only form of company and they don’t even get enjoyment from what they watch. How sad is that and I agree with them,” Dr. Val said. She explained that loneliness is equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, or being obese. “Socially interrogated lifestyles can protect against dementia. Every one of us can detect social isolation and do something about it. A person in isolation sees a doctor three times as much as a person who isn’t isolated or lonely.” She suggested some things that you and I can do to have a better well being. Be in good physical and mental health. Feel
safe in your neighbourhood. Have literacy and communication skills to find the services you need. Have a supportive network and feel connected and valued by others. Have access to health and transportation services. “I added a last one, volunteer more at such venues as the Bailey Theatre,” she laughed. “You can decrease isolation and loneliness by volunteering,” said Dr. Val. She suggested that people need to get out more, attend concerts and volunteer to improve your overall well-being. Bailey notes
At the Bailey Theatre AGM, new board directors Celia Leethwood, Chantel Beesley and Niel Parker were appointed to a twoyear term. Lisa Alain and John Stuart completed their terms.

Norsemen wins beer award By Murray Green
The Norsemen Brewing Co. has won another beer award. This year they earned a gold medal/ trophy for placing first in the Alberta Small Brewer’s Association, 2019 Alberta Beer Awards competition, March 5 in Edmonton. Earning the high praise was Norsemen’s Wolf’s in Dark Clothing Belgian dark strong beer in the Belgian Ale category. Judging was done by other beer experts and qualified judges. “It is the same beer we won bronze at the Canadian awards with last year,” said Ryan Stang, Norsemen’s brewmaster. “It has been very popular. We entered last year (Alberta) and didn’t win, so we were caught off guard a little when we won. It was a loud room, so I didn’t realize we won right away.” The competition is always steep at the events. “I think there were 15 or 16 entries in that category, so the win was special for us,” added Ryan. “Overall, there were between 300 and 400 beers entered in the competition.” The beer has remained unchanged since being introduced by the Norsemen Brewing Co. “Each year it has different judges, so it is subjective to different tastes and people. There are a lot of great beers in Alberta. It means a lot to me because it shows what I am doing is right. It recognizes us for all of the hard work that we put into making a high quality product.”
Ellard William Dilworth April 7, 1950 ~ February 19, 2019 Ellard William Dilworth of Ohaton passed away on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, at the age of 68 years. He is survived by his brothers Jim (Trudy) and Ralph (Mike Schaffner); and nieces and nephews Andrew (Carrie) Wilson, Wanda Fipke (Glen Kuefler), Michaela (Bill) Baum-Dilworth, Marysia (Rob) Champ and Lael Dilworth. Ellard was predeceased by his parents. Ellard was born in Camrose on April 7, 1950 to Katy and John Dilworth of Ohaton. He was educated at Bawlf School and then spent an extra year at Camrose Composite High School – essentially a ruse that allowed him to play football. He excelled at sports – baseball, basketball and especially hockey. He is remembered, in particular, for his years spent with the Camrose Maroons where he gathered many awards, including MVP, leading scorer and most popular player as voted by the fans. Ellard also excelled at cattle breeding, producing some superior bulls that were his pride and joy. Ellard was a gentle, mischievious soul, fiercely competitive in sports and fiercely loyal to his community, family and friends. His contagious smile and enthusiastic community spirit will be sorely missed by all.
Ryan Stang
Often people look to Europe for creating a high quality Belgian beer, but this award proves that people in Camrose can produce beer with the best brewmasters in the world. “Craft brewers in western Canada are good and the bonus is that it is made here, so it is fresher. It has local ingredients and is an Alberta-made product,” added Ryan. “This is a strong beer,
made more for the winter. It is not a beer you can drink six straight of. It is seasonal and we will continue to make different beers for the different seasons. We only have so much space, so it is something we rotate in. It makes it more special that way.” The awards is the finale of the weekend at the Alberta Craft Brewing Convention.

He will be greatly missed by his wife of 27 years, Patsy; son Daniel and his wife Emily; grandchildren Alyssa and Breanna of Camrose. He will be missed by many. David was a major Toronto Blue Jay’s fan and also loved music and took up guitar playing later in life, hosting many fun-filled Friday night jams. David was able to live out his dream job of farming for most of his life in and around the Orangeville/Grand Valley area. The last few years of his life he was an iron worker/rod buster where he thoroughly enjoyed the comradery of everyone he worked with and actually looked forward to going to work. He also enjoyed grooming the snowmobile trails for the Huronia/ Orangeville club. He had great fun coaching ball hockey for the Orangeville New Hope Community Church. David was a true friend of rare character, who treated everyone as his brother and right to the end was concerned about helping others. As per David’s wishes cremation has take place. A celebration of life will be held to honour David with details to be announced at a later date. In the last four months David spent a lot of time in and out of the Bluewater Hospital, Sarnia, on the fifth floor in the palliative wing where he received the most amazing, compassionate care from all the staff in that department. It was greatly appreciated. Donations to the Blue Water Hospital Palliative Care Foundation Sarnia (bwhf.ca) or to Saint Joseph’s Hospice, Sarnia (www.stjosephs hospice.ca) would be greatly appreciated.

Swimming pool budget increased By Murray Green
The City of Camrose council would rather its citizens be safe than be sorry for a poor decision. Council added another $6.3 million to the swimming pool budget and another $575,000 for contingencies for an increase of about $6.5 million over the previous $17.2 million budget. That means the total budget is now approximately $23.7 million. The project is expected to be completed in August 2020. “The contractor, Clark Builders, has discovered an
unfortunate level of decay in a certain portion of the roof and affiliated wall of the Aquatic Centre. This was determined to be a serious safety concern and even after initial observations of the building prior to construction BR2, the City of Camrose architect is surprised and in many years of building and renovating pools, has not seen anything like this. The City of Camrose is glad this was found and is now looking forward to progressing with this project and creating a fully renovated and safe facility
for the public,” said Ryan Poole, manager, Community Services. When it is all said and done, the Aquatic Centre will be a 90 per cent new facility and 10 per cent of the original structure. The renovation and expansion of the Aquatic Centre was initially approved for $17.2 million, which included $500,000 for contingencies. Prior to the approval of the project, various inspection activities had taken place including visual inspections by the archi-
tects and engineers, along with testing to determine an inventory of hazardous materials. During the course of the renovation phase, Clark Builders discovered significant structural deterioration in the roof, which had been concealed behind walls. Due to this finding, construction activities in the existing building had to be stopped until further inspection and shoring work could be completed. Subsequently, knowing that additional inspection, testing and remediation
work would be required, a report was presented to council and an additional $500,000 was approved, bringing the total approved funding to $17.7 million. The $6.3 million funding will come from the following places: $4 million from MSI, $1 million from gas taxes and $1.3 million from general capital reserve. At first, administration wanted $775,000 in contingencies, but councillor Lindstrand pointed out it should be closer to 10 per cent as standard procedures.
Danser returns to her local blues roots By Murray Green
Kat Danser’s music is a steel-belted radial easily flexing between a dusty gravel road and a fresh coat of asphalt. True to her Polish-Gypsy heritage, Danser is in perpetual motion and her swampy roots and blues style is a fine-tuned reflection of life lessons from the road. A former Camrose resident, Kat doesn’t just play the blues, she studies it, lives it, breathes it and elevates it wherever she plays. Her sweet vocals, lyrical genius, and instrumental prowess beautifully combine with her sharp wit and commanding stage presence to deliver unfailingly memorable live performances. She will be back in Camrose on April 12 for a concert in the Fika Coffeehouse, beginning at 7 p.m. Her fifth album, Goin’ Gone, is a collaboration between Danser and Junoaward winning producer Steve Dawson. This recording is a highly energetic album that sits the listener right beside her on the vinyl seat of a 1949 Ford Lead Sled, as she rolls and rumbles through the Deep South, USA. It celebrates her passion for the roots of blues music and her achievements as a graduate student at the University of Alberta, where she has now officially become Dr. Kat Danser with a PhD in Ethnomusicology. Her accolades have been many. Danser is a three time nominee for a Western Canadian Music Award and a national Maple Blues Award as Best New Artist of the Year, winner of the Ambassador of the Blues Award (Blues Underground Network) and the International Blues Competition Best Independent Blues Album, as well as being voted to have made one of the top five Roots and Blues Albums of 2014 (CBC Radio and Blues Underground Network). Danser is also a nationally award winning scholar
and has presented at conferences throughout North America. She combines her performance and education skills to assist community building between marginalized peoples and educational institutions. Toward that end, Danser has been the Artist in Residence at the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts (Calgary), facilitated music and healing at the U-School Program for Marginalized Youth and the Foothills Youth Psychiatric School, and instructs her own Music Education Program across the lifespan from elementary schools to adult instructional camps. Danser’s primary goal is to use music as a space for personal exploration and as a method to strengthen intercultural relationships.

Both Augustana plays deliver drama By Dave McDougall
Augustana drama presented two excellent one act ensemble plays on opening night of their performances. Foreplay: Or Art of the Fugue and Concord Floral are both one act plays chosen with an eye for the performers of Augustana drama program. Both plays highlight excellent ensemble casts and suit these young actors. These are well-disciplined actors who seldom wavered in their work and provide the audience with focused and skillful interpretations of their challenging pieces. Foreplay: Or the Art of the Fugue is a witty and entertaining play about a Don Juan who comes to a revelation in a very humorous fashion. The performers include an all female cast that lends itself well to interpreting malefemale relationships. The cast was excellent in their timing and concise play of three simultaneous scenes. The result was hilarious. Everyone was very strong in this student directed
play, (Racquel Deveau) but especially fun was Kristine Francesca Young in her saucy performance of Alma. Costuming and set were outstanding in this simply plotted presentation. The use of putters as choreographic devices was outstanding. Concord Floral starts with a haunting opening scene and takes the audience through a poetically composed script. The cast was up to the challenge of this intricate word play and did not falter in their beautiful delivery. Once again, the ensemble was outstanding. Of particular note were the performanc-
es of Alisha Breton and Miracle Mopera. These two lent the play a gravitas that might not be apparent in lesser skilled hands. The play did come with a warning of adult content and did deserve such. Occasionally the work seemed gratuitous, but overall, was an exploration of young adults’ lives in an unflinching exploration of sexuality, and a glimpse into modern-day youth. There was a central theme that today’s young people face similar challenges as those who have gone before with the twist of modern technology thrown in. At times, the script seemed a little long-
winded until it reached its inevitable conclusion. But a stunning underscoring, resonant lighting and powerful performances sustain a tension and ultimately garner a triumphant performance. Patrons of Augustana drama will not be disappointed with their latest offering. Kevin Sutley, professor of drama at Augustana, has crafted some fine work with these latest contributions to the theatre scene. Tickets are available at the door of Augustana Theatre Centre and the plays run March 27, 29, and 30 at 7 p.m.

Mercury truck creates new memories By Murray Green
Ed Charet has owned his 1951 Mercury truck for more than four years. “I found this truck about 25 miles south of Innisfree. I was looking for a 1951 Mercury,, because my dad had one and when I was 13 years old I learned how to drive in it. I was looking for one and they are hard to find. Since I found this one, I haven’t seen one since, so I’ve been lucky that way,” said Ed. He was also lucky that he didn’t have to do a frame off restoration. “I haven’t done much to it at all. For some reason the radio was gone, so I replaced that. There were just a few things here and there that I fixed, but not a lot of changes. I did some work on the doors just to help it out a little bit.” In 1946, Ford of Canada split its Ford and Lincoln/Mercury divisions into separate sales networks. Alongside the creation of the Monarch and Meteor sub-brands, Ford of Canada introduced trucks to the Mercury division. He changed the panels on the doors, performed some patchwork and replaced a gauge that didn’t work. “I fixed a few things and will continue to fix things as we go along. The wood floor was done already, so that saved a big job,” added Ed. The Meteor, Monarch cars and Mercury trucks first appeared in April, 1946 because of Ford of Canada’s postwar market-
MERCURY MEMORIES
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Ed Charet found a 1951 Mercury M-1 Series truck similar to the one he learned how to drive in. He wanted to keep it original, like the one his dad used to own, to cherish his memories and to enjoy going to car shows in the area.
ing strategy. More lowerpriced cars were sold in Canada than in the United States because of the slightly lower standard of living, not to mention whopping sales and excise taxes that added almost 20 percent to the sticker prices across the border. “The outside is pretty much what you see. I’ve
FUN FACTS
Early in the 1950s for the 1951 model year, Mercury got an automatic transmission, called the “MercO-Matic” drive. Because smaller Canadian towns had either a Ford-Monarch or Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer, but not both, the L-M-M network got the Mercury truck. To differentiate Ford and Mercury trucks, Mercury added a brand-specific grille and slightly different exterior and interior trim. Canadian-made Ford and Mercury trucks differed, for the most part, only cosmetically. For many years it was just Mercury versus Ford letters on the hoods and pickup tailgates, plus distinctive medallions that set them apart. Often there was a bit more glitz on the Mercury trucks, in keeping with their slightly-more-upscale image. The Mercury M series is a series of pickup trucks that was marketed by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company.
only made minor changes with touch-ups with paint and odds and ends,” said Ed, who now lives in Leduc, but likes to enter car shows in the Camrose area. “When we bought the truck, the owner said he was in a partnership with his dad, but that he couldn’t afford to pay out his dad to own the truck. He had to sell and that’s how we came across the truck. I don’t think he wanted to sell it, because it was a long time in order to get the truck,” shared Ed. From 1948 to 1968, the Mercury M series followed the development of its Ford F-series counterparts, differing largely in exterior trim. “We moved off the farm and sold all of our horses. Health was telling us that we had to do that, so I thought of buying a truck and going to several car shows as I retire. I went on a trip then and went to a car show in Palm Springs
and that is when I thought about getting an old truck. We saw 940 vehicles at the car show and came home and said let’s do this. Sitting around the house isn’t
going to help you retire,” Ed added. “It’s great to go to car shows and meet other guys and have fun with your vehicle. We have made a lot of friends at car shows.”

You can save fuel with better driving
FREE
Submitted
Whether due to the struggling economy or an increased desire to live a more environmentallyconscious life, many of the nation’s drivers are exploring ways in which they can conserve fuel. While riding a bicycle to work or taking public transportation are both reliable means to conserving fuel, there are many other ways to do so as well. Don’t accelerate too quickly. Accelerating too quickly from a dead stop taxes the engine and requires more fuel as a result. Empty the trunk. It might be convenient to keep your golf clubs in the trunk, but that excess weight could be forcing your engine to work harder and use more fuel as a result. Close the windows when driving at higher speeds. When the windows are open at high speeds, that added air drag is reducing your vehicle’s fuel efficiency substantially. Don’t idle too long in the mornings to “warm up” the vehicle. In general, a vehicle does not need more than 60 seconds of warming up to be able to operate efficiently. Don’t rev the engine like you’re driving a race car. Revving the engine needlessly wastes fuel and can even lead to engine damage. Maintain your vehicle. Older filters make it harder for an engine to run at maximum efficiency, so stick to the recommended maintenance schedule. Keep tires properly inflated. Poorly inflated tires lead to drag that makes the engine work harder and use more fuel.

Check all of your fluids before spring driving Submitted
The weather is difficult to forecast with any precision. Consequently, you and your vehicle must be ready for just about any situation. Therefore, have you verified your car or truck’s fluid levels? Granted, today’s cars and trucks need less care
and maintenance than in the past. In most cases, these are provided by the dealer. However, even the best dealer in the world can’t calculate and check all the fluids under the hood as you drive along. There are some things that car owners can (and must) still do to maintain
their vehicles. Checking fluids is one of them. Above all, be sure the windshield washer reservoir is filled up with high quality, liquid. Don’t try to save a few miserable pennies on cheap windshield washer fluid. While you’re at it, be sure the engine is cold so you can have a look
at the level of antifreeze in the radiator. If your vehicle is a few years old, it might be wise to have it checked by your mechanic for its capacity to sustain very low temperatures. While the hood is open and your fingers dirty, why not verify the level of the brake master cyl-
inder, the engine oil, the power steering pump oil and, if possible, the transmission oil. In each case, check first with the owner’s manual. If you are not familiar with performing such operations, have your mechanic do it.

Carbon Monoxide a silent killer By Lori Larsen
This long-lasting bout of way below normal temperatures has furnaces and gas fireplaces working overtime in an effort to keep our homes and businesses warm. Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by burning gas, wood, propane charcoal or other types of fuel by way of combustion engines, appliances or heating systems. In the event that a vehicle is left running in an enclosed space or an appliance or heating system burning any of these fuels is faulty or being used improperly, the buildup of carbon monoxide levels may reach toxic levels which can result in poisoning of anyone in close proximity. According to Statistics Canada, there are more than 300 CO-related deaths per year in Canada, and more than 200 hospitalizations per year in Canada. Because carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless and colourless gas, the fact that you may be exposed to the dangerous gas buildup can go unnoticed. If you are experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms, remove yourself and others from the possibly affected area and seek medical attention immediately. Dull headache. While headaches may be something we easily dismiss, if they occur in the same setting at the same time and dissipate quickly after leaving an area, they could be related to carbon monoxide poisoning. Muscle weakness and dizziness. Exposure to carbon monoxide may make regular movement such as walking difficult and may cause dizziness and in extreme cases loss of consciousness (fainting). Nausea or vomiting may occur which may be mistaken for influenza, however, as a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning, will not be accompanied by a high body temperatures or a fever. If more than one person in a household experiences these symptoms, it is cause for concern. Shortness of breath will occur as carbon monoxide builds up in the blood. A tightening in the chest can also accompany carbon monoxide poisoning. Such a symptom is always cause for alarm.

Drowsiness, confusion, the inability to think straight or concentrate could be a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning. Dismissing the onslaught of these symptoms and laying down or going to sleep can be a deadly error in judgement. Blurred vision, while not as common and usually occurs in severe carbon monoxide poisoning cases, should be taken seriously especially if accompanying any of the other symptoms. In very severe cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, a seizure (muscle spasms) may occur.
In the event of any of these symptoms occurring for reasons unknown and especially if they occur in conjunction with each other or if others are experiencing similar signs, do not ignore them. Get out and seek medical attention immediately. Protecting yourself and your loved ones and pets from the chance of carbon monoxide poisoning is as easy as taking a few precautions and maintenance measurements. Firstly, have an operable, reliable CO detector in your home. Test it regu-
larly and change the batteries every six months. Maintain your home’s heating system, water heater and any other gas/ oil or coal burning appliances. Have a qualified technician service these systems every year. Keep all vents and flues in your home clean and free of debris that could block the ventilation lines. Never leave your vehicle running while parked in your garage or in an enclosed or partially enclosed area. Never operate a vehicle, generator or any gaso-
line powered engine inside an enclosed structure less than 20 feet from an open window, door or venting system that will allow for exhaust to escape and never operate them inside of a home or in a basement. Never use a charcoal or gas barbecue, hibachi, lantern, camp stove or other equipment inside a home, tent or camper. If you suspect you or others have been or are being exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning, get out of the infested area and call 9-1-1 to seek immediate medical attention.

Improve your vision By Murray Green
One of the more concerning trends with regards to traffic accidents is when they occur. In spite of the fact that there are five times as many motorists during the day, statistics indicate that one-third of all accidents and roughly half of all traffic fatalities occur at night. The human eye is not adapted for nocturnal vision, so drivers must take steps to improve their vision and visibility within their vehicle. The following are just a few of the ways drivers can do just that. Addressing automobile lighting is one of the most underperformed vehicle maintenance tasks. “Many drivers do not even consider replacing their headlight bulb until it fails,” said Dave Jewell, from Canadian Tire. “But as a bulb ages, its light output is drastically reduced by a host of factors, including humidity, electrical resistance and filament fatigue.” Industry experts recommend replacing headlight bulbs every two years, and motorists should add bulb inspection and/or replacement to their list of routine maintenance tasks. Perhaps the best way drivers can improve nocturnal vision is to upgrade their headlight bulbs. “Some of the new headlight bulbs put out more light and create longer beam patterns than the standard halogen bulb,” said Jewell. “There is even a special headlight bulb for motorcycles that not only improves vision but creates a unique

orange reflection that helps distinguish the motorcycle from other vehicles on the road.” Similar to headlight bulbs, wiper blades are often overlooked when it comes to vehicle maintenance. “Industry experts recommend wiper blades should be replaced at the change of each season or on three month intervals,” said Jewell. “That’s because the longer a wiper blade is on the vehicle, the more brittle and ineffective it becomes, putting drivers and passengers at risk.” Drivers can also purchase inexpensive treatments designed to make the rubber more pliable and extend the life of the wipers.
In addition, when inspecting or replacing wiper blades, top off the windshield washer fluid as a precautionary measure. Another way to improve visibility is to clean interi-
or glass to remove any film buildup that can reduce vision and create a hazy reflection from the sun. “This is especially important for motorists who smoke in the car, as this film is
typically thicker,” said Jewell. “When addressing interior glass, take the time to adjust all side and rearview mirrors properly to cover all of the views around the car, especially the blind spots.”

View your vehicle history By Murray Green
A vehicle history report can be a used car buyer’s best friend. Whereas in the past buyers bought used cars and hoped for the best, today’s used car buyers can rely on a vehicle history report to tell them all about the vehicle while helping buyers make more informed decisions. When shopping for a preowned vehicle, you should always ask for a vehicle history report, regardless of whether you’re buying from a dealership or a private citizen. If the seller refuses, it’s time to look elsewhere. When a seller eagerly provides a vehicle history report, buyers should examine a few things on the report so they can be more comfortable should they ultimately purchase the vehicle. All vehicle history reports list how many owners a vehicle has had in the past. In general, the more owners a vehicle has had, the more risk you’re assuming as the buyer. Vehicles that tend to change hands often are less likely to have been well maintained. In addition to how many owners a car has had, look at who those owners were. Vehicles that were once owned by a rental car company, for instance, were likely not treated very well, as few people care how much abuse their rental car endures. However, a car once owned by a rental agency likely has lots of highway miles on it, and such driving is less taxing on a vehicle than city driving where the vehicle’s engine is stopping and starting more frequently. Just because a seller provides you with a vehicle history report does not necessarily mean that report matches the vehicle you might be buying. A dishonest seller might try to pass off the history report of another vehicle of the same make and model as his own. This is done to hide a suspect vehicle history or even when thieves are selling a stolen car to an unsuspecting buyer. Check the vehicle identification number, or VIN, on the vehicle to ensure the car you’re looking at matches the car on the history report. In addition, each vehicle history report describes the car, so if the description does not match you might be holding an inaccurate report. Does the physical appearance of the car match its history report? Sometimes a vehicle owner does not report when a car has been in an accident. Owners might do this to avoid higher insurance premiums or to mask the vehicle’s history because they intend to sell the car down the road. If a

Infinite Imagination, a Camrose theatre group, is performing its version of Noises Off a classic farce by the Tony Award—winning author Michael Fryan. With this comedy you can view the play both in front of the stage and also behind the scenes. All appear happy to play their roles in front of the crowd, but when the stage is reversed viewers will get to see what actually goes on behind the set as the story unfolds. The question is, which is funnier, the actual play or the feuds that go on behind the curtains. The play is actually two stories simultaneously unfolding on stage in a traditional sex farce, Nothing On. It is a backstage drama that develops during a final rehearsal to start their tour. The two plays begin to interlock as the characters make their exits from Nothing On only to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare going on backstage. At the disastrous final performance, the two plots can no longer be kept separate and merge into a single collective nervous breakdown. The cast of nine do a wonderful job of acting their parts and providing comedy. It certainly helps if you love British comedy of a series of
nonsense and getting caught with your pants down. Trever McTavish, Mellisa Prost and the entire cast played their parts well. The group will have nine people on stage as well as Kevin Schole handling props, Dan Johnson as the assistant director, Laurie Broughton as the assistant stage manager and Deb Huntley as the stage manager. Billy Bailey and Rick Myers also help with set design. Often billed as the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Noises Off won the 1982 Olivier award for Best Play, 1982 London Evening Standard award for Best Comedy, nominee in 1984 for a Tony award for Best Play and a nominee in 1984 Drama Desk award, for Best Play. Infinite Imagination will stage the play on Friday, March 29 with dinner at 6 and show 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 30 with show only at 2 p.m.; Saturday, March 30 with dinner at 6 and show at 7 p.m. Infinite Imagination
The theatre group has regular Infinite Improv shows on April 11 and May 16 with action beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Bethany Group asks health questions Continued from page 12
“Our platform for addressing senior issues has not yet been announced, but leader Jason Kenney has announced he will repeal the carbon tax and that it is the priority. It has put stress on hospitals, senior facilities and businesses,” said Lovely. How do you see your government supporting education and labour force development in geriatric care? “Already we have put in support for rural communities to train and retain workers locally. Some communities offer incentives on salary and spousal employment to attract professionals. We are interested in speciality training at postsecondary institutions, so that is being developed,” said Hinkley. “Government directed care is not the best solution. Seniors do not fit into a one size fits all box,” added Lovely. “We need to change direction with our aging population. We need more training to meet those needs,” said Smook.
What are your thoughts on government ran vs. nonfor-profit community-based vs. private facilities? What are your strategies to ensure the best outcomes for people in this diverse service delivery model? “Individuals prefer different types of settings. Some people like to live in government run facilities, while others like not-forprofit facilities, others prefer a private facility. Individual choice and addressing the needs for seniors is the solution. There are room for all choices,” said Lovely. “Yes, all three are happening. But there are lots of deficiencies in this setting. Some can do it in a cost-wise setting without government,” said Smook. “We have all three existing. We support public health and equal access to care and that is the heart of our ideals. We recognize the others do have a place in our society and we put significant funds into care and affordable housing facilities across private and not-for-profit,” said Hinkley.

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.

Downtown business allowed residence
Essential Skills Training Program April 16 to June 6 – Tuesday to Thursday, 9 am to noon (Week of May 6 to 10 training runs 9 am to 4 pm )
By Murray Green
Tish Olsen has been granted her wish of living in the back of her downtown store. City council agreed to move to the next step to allow residential on the ground floor on Main Street, which was not recommended by administration. The 5-3 vote in favour of using part of the store as living quarters was made at the regular council meeting on March 18. Downtown business people said the business should be supported, the number of people wanting to live on the main floor is low, economic times are changing and new strategies are required, it won’t obstruct any businesses and it won’t change the business itself. “We heard loud and clear from business people that they are in support of Tish’s proposal. We need the flexibility to run our businesses and operate as best suited. I caution administration that if we don’t allow this, we might see an empty building in a year. We have to value every business owner we have downtown,” said Dan Olofson. Others were worried that too many businesses would be replaced with residences, commercial space would be reduced that it would breach the ability for Main Street to operate as a successful commercial corridor.

UltraViolet Ensemble, a quartet from Edmonton, will be presenting a concert on Wednesday, April 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Augustana Campus Faith and Life Chapel. The concert will feature recently composed chamber music by Canadian female composers, all made possible by the support of a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. In addition to hearing a great variety of unorthodox sounds, the audience will encounter different extra-musical meanings in music presented. Recorded sounds of train crossings, highway overpasses and aircraft cabin, combined with similar instrumental sounds, will represent metaphors of travel and meaning. Another work explores the Irish tradition of keening and lamenting the dead, with all of its implications of grief, memory, sadness and loss. A third work uses phrases taken from Facebook, combined with instrumental sounds and spoken text, to touch on the theme of culture and interaction represented in social media. Comprising pianist Roger Admiral, cellist Amy Nicholson, flutist Chenoa Anderson and saxophonist Allison Balcetis, UltraViolet’s musicians are forward-thinking, virtuosic, dedicated artists. UltraViolet is named in honour of composer Violet Archer, one of the first professors of music at the University of Alberta, who encouraged her students to create their own opportunities for their music to be performed. Her impact was broad and deep in Alberta and throughout Canada. In 2013, UltraViolet was created as an ensemble for performing works curated at New Music Edmonton’s yearly festival, Now Hear This. UltraViolet’s members bring an immense wealth of experience to performing new music, individually and collaboratively. UV’s individual members have premiered hundreds of solo and chamber works, have been active in commissioning and performing new Canadian works and are also active in other Edmonton ensembles such as the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Pro Coro Canada and the Edmonton Saxophone Quartet. The ensemble has performed over 40 new pieces since 2014. Tickets may be purchased at the door.
