Officially, it’s called the 2nd annual

Larry Gibson Memorial Fun Run for Special Olympics Camrose In reality, people are invited to pedal, skateboard, jaunt, piggyback or crawl (backwards – if they please) to make the 2.7 kilometre trek around beautiful Mirror Lake on Saturday, May 4 starting at 10:00 a.m.

The goal is to raise funds for one of Larry’s beloved local initiatives – Special Olympics Camrose. Before his passing, Larry was a highly regarded and greatly appreciated volunteer and a strong advocate for everyone in the local Special Olympics program.

And local is where all money raised will be directed.

To register as a participant, team or to donate to this worthy cause, visit www.specialolympics.ab.ca/camrose.

City council discusses streetscaping concepts in downtown

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose administration proposed two design concepts for the Downtown 51 Avenue (48 Street to 52 Street) overlay project that included the potential for some streetscaping at the north end of Main Street, the purpose of which is to encourage foot traffic and benefit businesses in the area, while improving pedestrian safety.

City of Camrose director of engineering, Jeremy Enarson presented a report on the findings of the survey the City used to obtain feedback on which concept was most favourable to residents.

As per the report presented, Concept A would increase the width of the current centre median, allowing room for low-profile planters and decreasing the distance the pedestrian needs to cross the eastbound and westbound lanes of 51 Avenue. It features a left turn bay into the existing north parking lot to permit uninterrupted traffic flow along 51 Avenue. The crosswalk on the east side of 50 Street is constructed at a diagonal to allow pedestrians crossing 51 Avenue to see oncoming traffic better. Also, the west crosswalk would be moved closer towards Main Street to allow drivers more time to see pedestrians that are wishing to cross 51 Avenue. The pros for Concept A include increased pedestrian safety, enhanced look at north end of Main Street and left-turn bay into the north parking lot to allow vehicles to turn in without obstructing eastbound traffic on 51 Avenue. The major con of Concept A was the loss of approximately 23 parking stalls.

Concept B eliminates the centre medians, adding a large concrete boulevard on the north side of 51 Avenue, immediately south of the existing sidewalk. This would create a large area at the north end of Main Street that can be used as a plaza for special events.

Enarson commented, The crosswalk Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster would be moved “At other intersections in Corner of 50 Street and 51 Avenue, closer towards the City, we have bulb-outs subject of streetscaping debate.

Augustana Treaty bear dedicated

By Lori Larsen

In a well-attended ceremony enriched with tradition, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus dedicated the Treaty Bear that stands proud in the outdoor common area between the campus Forum and the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

The statue, which was on loan to Augustana by sculptor Stewart Steinhauer, is engraved with the words “We Are All Related” in both Cree syllabics and English and is symbolic of Augustana’s commitment to recognize

not only the importance of sharing Treaty Six land and the deep-rooted traditions of Indigenous people, but how people must endeavor to live in harmony.

In his address to the crowd attending the ceremony, dean Allen Berger explained that the significance the Treaty Bear plays on campus was part of the decision to make it a permanent fixture and, with a gracious discount from Steinhauer to purchase the statue, Berger along with his wife Rebecca and four other generous donor couples, Treva and John Olson, Jane and Jack

Ross, Christina and Don Rebus, and Larry and Margaret Rathnavalu, the bear was given its permanent place of stature.

Members of the Steinhauer family, including Diana, Ben and Cindi, were present to greet the crowd.

A prayer was offered by Elder Emma Jacknife followed by a song by Jacknife and the Steinhauers to commemorate the dedication. In an informative presentation, Diana Steinhauer related the symbolic meaning of Treaty land and the importance behind the message of “We Are All Related.”

Kurek starts Conservative Crowfoot nomination race

By Murray Green

Damien Kurek officially announced he is entering the nomination race to be the Conservative Party of Canada’s candidate in the constituency of Battle River-Crowfoot for the 2019 federal election.

“Battle River-Crowfoot has been well represented over the past two decades by Kevin Sorenson. It has been a privilege to work for Kevin in Ottawa, while he was Minister of State (Finance) and in the constituency as one of his assistants,” stated Kurek at his launch along Mirror Lake in Camrose.

“I was equally proud to have, in the wake of Kevin’s announcement, hundreds of folks from all across Battle River-Crowfoot ask me to consider running. After careful thought, prayer, and with support from my family, we have decided it is the right time.”

Damien offers a combination of experience and expertise to the people of this constituency with his deep roots in East Central Alberta.

He grew up in Consort, where he continues to help run the fifth-generation family farm. He has held various leadership roles with not-forprofits and has strong community and church involvement. In fact, his first involvement in politics began with the Board of the Battle River-Crowfoot Conservative Riding

Damien Kurek

Association at the early age of 15 years.

“In politics, I have worked diligently to promote common sense Conservative values across Canada,” said Damien.

“My commitment to you is that I will always listen. I will speak about what matters most and work with you to find solutions that work for our region and our country,” stated Damien.

Damien and his wife Danielle are currently raising their two young sons in Camrose. “There is truly no place I would rather be than East Central Alberta. The people, the landscape, and the values of this region hold a special place in Canada. I believe I have the passion, dedication and strong work ethic to provide Battle River-Crowfoot with the continued

strong representation they deserve,” he shared.

“Whether you live in Camrose, Drumheller, Stettler, the Special Areas, Provost, Wainwright, Three Hills, Hanna, Oyen, or one of the almost three dozen more communities in Battle River-Crowfoot, my commitment is to always listen, that I’ll speak about what matters most, and to work with you to find solutions for the problems our region and country face. Truly, I believe that together we can accomplish a lot,” he stated.

Damien has taken leave from his current job with Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson as he seeks the CPC nomination. Over the next few months, he plans on traveling all over the constituency, discussing the issues, selling memberships and promoting common sense and grassroots conservatism.

“I humbly ask for the support of the good people of this vast riding.”

For more information about Damien and his campaign, you can email info @ votekurek.ca or call 403-575-5625. You can also visit his website at www.votekurek.ca and find him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by searching @dckurek.

To see Steven Kotler now, you’d have a hard time imagining that he once made what seemed like a perfectly rational non-emotional decision to end his life. An award-winning journalist and speaker, Kotler is best-selling author or co-author of books such as The Rise of Superman, Abundance, Bold and Stealing Fire. He’s steeped in science, technology and rigorous research. His presentations and interviews pulsate with vibrant energy.

He’s wickedly funny. I’ve followed his books for a while.

My impression was that he must have spent his entire life bopping around with boundless energy. Recently I learned that was not always so. A good life until… as a young man, Kotler moved from San Diego to Los Angeles to be with the woman he planned to marry. His career was flourishing. He was happy. And then he wasn’t.

He was struck down by a debilitating illness that completely sapped his strength and coordination. He couldn’t walk. He was in constant pain. Even worse for someone used to having a brilliant mind, he could not think. It took a long time to obtain a diagnosis. He had Lyme disease.

You’ve probably heard of it. Apparently caused by a tick bite, the impact is brutal. Shooting pain, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Rashes. Vision changes.

Inflammation of the brain, spinal cord and joints. Loss of muscle tone. Heart palpitation or irregular heartbeat.

Facial paralysis. Fatigue, headaches, mental confusion. At the time Kotler was stricken, there was no known cure or treatment.

He could not work. He could not support himself or even care for himself. The woman he’d planned to marry left. As far ahead as he could see, he would be nothing except a burden.

After three years of languishing in bed, he made what seemed like a rational and unemotional decision to end his life. He had the pills and the booze…and then a friend dropped by…that was awkward. He hoped she didn’t notice the pills and the booze. His friend said, “We’re going surfing.” The idea was ridiculous. He couldn’t even walk.

How would he be able to surf?

His friend was relentless. Kotler said, “I finally realized she just wasn’t going away. And I thought, ‘Well, I can always kill myself tomorrow.’”

His friend and a helpful neighbour managed to maneuver Kotler into a car. They drove to a beach with smallish waves. (He describes it as a beach where no self-respecting real surfer would go.) With help, he somehow managed to get on the surfboard and catch a wave. And magic happened. He could ride the wave.

He experienced transcendence. He felt at one with the wave; lost all sense of self; had no thoughts; was just totally immersed in the experience, beyond joy. He’d never felt anything like it before.

He wanted that experience again. His friend agreed to take him surfing the next day…and he got back a life.

Fast forward. Within eight months, he had recovered about 75 per cent of his previous capacities. No, there was no new medical treatment. He attributes the remarkable improvement to surfing, or more precisely, to the amazing flow that he experienced while surfing. It took about another five years before he was back to the level of functioning he had before Lyme disease. But he had a life back.

Since then Kotler has been a passionate researcher, writer and teacher of flow and peak performance. Along with Jamie Wheal, he co-founded The Flow Genome Project which maps the science of ultimate human performance. Both co-founders, and others, are teaching people how to spend more of their time in a “flow” state of optimum performance, joy and contribution. I’ve been thinking about that story all week, and about troubling events in the world and in the lives of people I treasure. Somehow the surfing story is giving me comfort. There might be a more positive worldview. Just because I can’t quite see it yet doesn’t mean it’s not there. ***

Passports available in Camrose area

By Murray Green

You can now apply for a passport, or renew it, at over 300 Service Canada Centres, including Camrose.

Service Canada offers passport services in over 300 locations on behalf of the Passport Program, giving Canadians broader access to passport services across the country.

At Service Canada Centres, clients are able to submit general passport applications (adult and child) and simplified renewal passport applications and have them reviewed to make sure that they are accurate and complete.

Service Canada Centres also validate the original citizenship document, return the original on the spot, and forward the application package for processing. Once the application has been approved and the passport is issued, it will be delivered to the mailing address specified in the application.

However, if you plan to travel within the next 20 business days, you must apply in person at a Passport Office in Edmonton.

Types of applications that receiving agents can accept are five-year and 10-year general adult applications, five-year child applications, fiveyear and 10-year adult simplified renewal applications.

Types of applications that receiving agents cannot accept are urgent ones; your current passport is lost, stolen, damaged inaccessible; you do not have a guarantor or your application includes a legal name change that is not due to a change in relationship status.

Ser vice Canada receiving agent locations are authorized to verify your proof of Canadian citizenship document on

the spot. Once the citizenship document has been validated, a photocopy will be made and the original will be returned to you.

In the event that it is impossible to validate the citizenship document presented, the original citizenship document will be forwarded to the Passport Program with the application.

Application forms are available online on the Passport Program website.

If you are a Canadian citizen and you meet certain eligibility criteria, you can renew your passport using the Simplified Renewal Application Process.

As of June 1, 2009, everyone travelling to the United States by land, sea, or air, including U.S. and Canadian citizens, must present a valid passport or another secure document. For a comprehensive list of acceptable documents, please visit the Canada Border Services Agency’s website.

As of Nov. 10, 2016, dual Canadian citizens used to travelling to or transiting through Canada by air with a nonCanadian passport, must present a valid Canadian passport to board their flight.

If you would like more information, or have any questions about the status of your passport application, consult the frequently asked questions on the Passport Program website or contact the local office.

Battle River Community Foundation director, Debbie Orcheski presents a cheque to Ohaton Athletic Association treasurer, Dale Beddoes and Debbie Howard, secretary.

Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation recently awarded a grant of $7,500 to the Ohaton Athletic Association.

The grants are from income from the Foundation’s Community Funds, created by donors to allow the Foundation board to select charitable projects, programs and facilities from applications received from throughout the region. The Community Fund gives the Foundation flexibility to meet needs as they may change over time in the communities it serves.

This grant assisted with the cost of renovating the Community Hall washrooms for improved efficiency and accessibility.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and facil-

ities, such as the Ohaton Athletic Association, in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and 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 $6,350,000 to support community facilities and programs operated by organizations like the Ohaton Athletic Association.

Steele connects with legendary country singer George Jones

By Murray Green

Duane Steele has been singing great country music songs dating back to about 1984.

Many of his fans have told him that he sounds like the artists do in concert. So when he was asked to perform George Jones songs on stage he agreed.

Steele and his band will be ref lecting the career of legendary Jones at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on May 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Be part of a special night celebrating the man considered to be one of the greatest country singers in Jones. In a career that lasted more than 50 years, “the Possum” evolved from a young honky-tonker to a music icon as he recorded more than 150 albums and became the symbol of traditional country music.

His music continues to inspire artists of all genres. Award-winning singer/songwriter Steele and his band will take you on an multi-media, immersive journey of Jones’ life through stories and songs.

Steele will sing the hits of Jones that spanned five

decades including his duets with Tammy Wynette to the No. 1 country song of all time “He Stopped Loving Her Today.”

You’ll also hear the stories of Jones’ life, which echoed the country songs he sang–filled with success, failure, hard-drinking and heartbreak. The Legend of George Jones is a must-see for Jones fans and country fans alike.

Steele is among Canada’s top country recording artists and songwriters with a professional career dating back to 1984. The multi-award winning artist has released five studio albums and one greatest hits album, and has charted multiple singles on the Canadian country singles charts, including the number one hit “Anita Got Married.”

He has toured the world headlining his own shows and opening for some of the hottest acts in country music including Shania Twain, Terri Clark, Trisha Yearwood and Sammy Kershaw. Steele’s pure voice and authentic country sound make him the ideal artist to pay tribute to Jones.

The concert begins with an Italian madrigal that begs for simplicity and sweetness, followed by William Byrd’s “Sing Joyfully!” a jubilant setting of Psalm 81. In contrast, Johannes Brahms motet “Warum ist das licht gegeben” is a heart-rending exploration of faith in the face of abandonment. The concert then shifts to explore Canadian themes, beginning with Lavinia Kell-Parker’s piece, “Songs are Thoughts,” based on the text of Orpingalik–an Inuit anagok (shaman)–as recorded by the Danish explorer Knud Rassmussen in 1923.

The Augustana Choir was in Cuba in January of this year so they will perform a popular Cuban song, “Chan Chan,” complete with the ever-present ‘clave’ rhythm. The concert ends with a set of contemporary pieces, including “Walk Out On the Water” by Winnipeg band, Royal Canoe.

The Augustana Choir is welcoming the award-winning Edmonton Youth Choir to this concert.

Under the dynamic direction of Dr. John Wiebe, the Augustana choirs build on a choral legacy of over 100 years. The choirs are known for their exquisite sound and attention to detail with national and international tours, conference performances and CD recordings to their credit.

Dr. John Wiebe is an award-winning conductor, pianist, educator, adjudicator and clinician based out of Edmonton. He conducts the choirs at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, is the artistic director of the Edmonton Youth and Children’s Choirs and is the past president of Choral Canada.

City reaches out to Princess Project

By Lori Larsen

During the April 15 regular council meeting, City of Camrose council approved funding to cover a 24 month lease from Jan. 1, 2020 to Dec. 31, 2021, for a proposed space at the Mirror Lake Centre to house the Princess Project, a Camrose initiative that provides free prom dresses to young grads who struggle to meet the rising costs associated with graduation ceremonies.

During the April 1 City of Camrose committee of whole meeting, administration proposed to council the possibility of providing a space available at the Mirror Lake Centre to accommodate the Princess Project.

Princess Project (Camrose) founder and operator Laura Swanson, also principal of Camrose Outreach School, began the Princess Project in 2017, supplies donation dresses to grads, from a local business and community members.

After reading a previous story in The Camrose Booster, City manager Malcolm Boyd contacted Swanson to explore the possibility of the space being available on the lower level of the Mirror Lake Centre.

“The space that we are looking at has external access on the ground level and is easily separated from the front of and rest of the building, so it can be locked up.”

Boyd explained that the space provides ample room for the display of dresses and a suitable dressing room.

Boyd stated that the City-owned Mirror Lake Centre is almost 100 per cent leased, with the exception of this particular space.

“Battle River Watershed Alliance, Hospice Society of Camrose and District and Downtown Camrose all lease space in that building.”

According to Boyd, the Princess Project, when it first began, had been using a space in the basement of the downtown business Tish’s Fashions Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster and Finery.

Laura Swanson is there for graduates who Most recentneed a little extra help. ly, they were occupying the back of one of the units at Duggan Mall, which he noted was a little tenuous in the event that the space could be suddenly leased out, causing the Princess Project to find yet another location.

Some council members voiced concerns as to whether or not granting space to the Princess Project may cause conflict with other leaseholders at Mirror Lake Centre.

Boyd commented, “One of the differences here is that this is a one-person show. The Princess Project is not a registered not-for-profit, they do not have a board of directors or volunteer base that can help with fundraising. They are not a society. It is an initiative by Laura Swanson to provide grad dresses to people who need them.”

Mayer Norm Mayor added, “All we are really doing is providing a space for storage primarily, as opposed to people who are actively using a site and operating out of it. This is strictly a volunteer person trying to provide dresses for graduating girls who are less fortunate.”

Councillor Kevin Hycha inquired about the accuracy of the cost, ($8,962.27 annually, as presented by the City), of the proposed lease to Princess Project.

Boyd explained that the rest of the leases at Mirror Lake Centre are valued at $8.64 per square foot and that Battle River Watershed Alliance, Downtown Camrose and Hospice Society of Camrose and District are all paying the going rate for their leases.

Mayor Mayer explained that a dollar figure does have to be attached to the Princess Project lease so the City is being upfront with the value of the actual space with regards to rental reiterating that the Princess Project has no budget and is not a registered not-for-profit society. “It is one person doing something good for those in need.”

Senior Chat

Zen of volunteers

By Chantal Beesley, Coalition Member, The Bethany Group

Finding meaning and purpose in our lives is often a lifelong pursuit.

It becomes especially marked when we either retire or stop working in a career. Work provides many of us with more than a job–it also gives us a sense of accomplishment and an opportunity to socialize. So what happens when we don’t work?

For many seniors, loneliness is a real problem, one they face daily. This affects not only seniors who live in a continuing care facility, but also those who live independently–one could argue it affects them more as they don’t have the same opportunities for socialization and activities as those in care do. Seniors are our community builders and want to continue that contribution to their home.

Volunteering has become an important way for many people, especially seniors, to feel a sense of belonging and accomplishment. It is an almost zen quality that contributes to having a meaningful role in life.

Some of the benefits of volunteering include: Making new friends and connections–socialization is an important part of our lives and one we should never ignore.

Making friends gives us a sense of belonging and community.

It’s good for your mind and body–volunteering can help counteract the effects of anger, stress, and anxiety. It also helps combat depression and increases self-confidence.

Learning new skills– individuals can gain experience in new areas, as well as improve a person’s ability to communi-

cate, work with a team, problem solve, and manage time.

A sense of fulfillment–what better way to discover and explore interests and passions than through volunteering.

These are just a few of the benefits of volunteering amongst many reasons for someone to spend their time helping others.

In Camrose, there are many opportunities and needs for volunteers.

Whether you want to help plant a garden, support a local arts organization, provide companionship to a person in care, deliver meals to those in need, entertain at a lodge or care facility, bring your therapy pet to provide comfort, help at the library with activities, or spend time helping children learn and create; there are so many ways you can make a difference in our community.

The best way to find the right volunteer opportunity for you is to explore placements at the various non-profit organizations and clubs in Camrose–from the Hospice Society and The Bethany Group to Meals on Wheels and the Food Bank. You can contact many of them through their websites or find more information at www.camrosefcss. ca/clubs_ and_ organizations/.

For more information about Camrose Seniors Coalition, call Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) at 780672-0141, and ask for Maria or Margaret H.

The Bethany Group honours volunteers

By The Bethany Group

It was a morning of laughter, gratitude and camaraderie on April 10, as around 150 Bethany volunteers gathered for a brunch served by recreation therapy staff.

The Bethany Group relies on its staff and volunteers to enhance

the quality of lives of its seniors. Volunteers play an important role in many ways, from providing friendship, entertainment, assistance in the way of portering to activities and quite often simply being a companion.

It is only fitting that for one day, they should

be recognized and served as they do so much for us. With host Amelia Keech, recreation therapist, regaling the audience with witty jokes and thanks for their service, volunteers were treated to entertainment and brunch.

The morning was

made even more special with personal thanks from many of the residents. These video clips were played as part of a slideshow. The volunteers were also thanked by board chair Dr. Odell Olson and Carla Beck, director of health services

(who spoke on behalf of the CEO).

It’s our volunteers’ willingness to give and their infectious smiles that lighten up the lives of both residents and staff–and we want to send our heartfelt and sincere thanks to all of them.

Police warn Plan Now For Their Future Needs don’t take You’ve worked your entire life to build your assets.

Sound estate planning can the bait ensure these hard-earned

By Lori Larsen

Phishing is a method of obtaining information often through email, telephone calls or texts that can be used by con artists to acquire your personal information and ultimately fraud you out of your identity, money or both.

The scammers will often pose as well known and, in some cases, trusted agencies, businesses or organizations to create a sense of security and scam their victims out of personal information such as social security numbers, login IDs and passwords, credit card numbers and banking information.

“Scammers are getting more and more creative in the digital space most of us live in,” noted Constable Kelly Bauer, Camrose Police Service fraud prevention/community relations officer.

“Unsolicited emails from what appear to be legitimate organizations such as your bank, credit card or service provider asking you to verify or update information is fraudulent. Actual companies will never request this information from you by email. Delete such emails and be sure not to open any type of link associated to them. If you aren’t sure and want to double check if it is a legitimate request, don’t use the phone number or email provided in email. Use contact information listed on verified websites.”

The following are some characteristics commonly associated with phishing scams provided by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Website.

In most cases, the content of the fraudulent email or text will contain information that may be upsetting (you owe the

Talk to us today about the benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions.

Pre-planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost-sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no-obligation consultation with one of our directors.

government money), or cause a sense of excitement (you have won a prize), or a sense of urgency (if you don’t act now something will happen).

Phishing messages are normally not personalized.

Phishing messages may ask you to “update”, “validate” or “confirm” your account information, place a telephone call or click on a link provided that, more often than not, requires you to use your password or give out other personal information.

Brand spoofing involves scammers using officiallooking logos or brands of legitimate organizations, government agencies, businesses or financial institutions. It is always advised to research the agency/ organization/business to ensure it is the official site or letterhead.

Certain phrases are also known to be used by scammers and include the following: “E-mail Money Transfer Alert: Please verify this payment information below,” “It has come to our attention that your online banking profile needs to be updated as part of our continuous efforts

to protect your account and reduce instances of fraud”, “Dear Online Account Holder, access to your account is currently unavailable”, “Important Service Announcement from…” “You have one unread Security Message!”, or “We regret to inform you that we had to lock your bank account access.

Call (telephone number) to restore your bank account.”

In addition to using the personal information scammers obtain from you to steal your money or identity, they can also use it to access information on your computer or network and lock you out of your own system data.

Once a scammer/ criminal has obtained your personal information, they can use it to access your financial accounts, open new bank accounts, transfer bank balances, apply for loans, credit cards and other goods /ser vices, make purchases, access your personal email account, hide criminal activities, receive government benefits or obtain a passport.

All in your name.

Nixon recalls country history through songs

By Murray Green

Andrea Nixon is coming back to Camrose to share her debut album with local country music fans. If you enjoyed the The Give Em Hell Boys, then you have heard her sing before.

She is playing at the Bailey Theatre on May 5 at 3 p.m.

“They always talked about how amazing it was (being on the Bailey Theatre stage) and I knew one day I’d love to play there.

I also have had the pleasure of meeting Leslie, at the theatre, and have seen first hand how passionate the staff all are about live music,” said Andrea.

“My Aunt Charlene also lives and works in Camrose and she’s spoken very highly of the venue. I knew I wanted a theatre with a lot of history for our Salute to Country show. It is a concert, but also a historical review of country music. It takes listeners on a sonic journey back to the music of 1899, when Ada Blenkhorn wrote “Keep on the Sunny Side,” which was later released by the Carter Family in 1928, one year after her passing. It’s our opening number,” confided Andrea.

Andrea’s music pro-

vides a refreshing remedy through its honest simplicity. The title of her debut album, Diary of a Housewife, suggests only part of the story though. “My own music has really touched on many corners of country music, from country pop to country rock to country blues and country folk. I tend to enjoy performing and writing music that is centred on story and the sonic style tends to vary based on how the story should feel to the listener,” explained Andrea.

In many respects, she is following in the footsteps of trailblazing female artists like Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton by bravely revealing herself through her music.

Her music combines traditional country elements with pop and rock. Tying it all together is Nixon’s irresistible, unaffected voice, capable of raging at an exlover on “You Didn’t Make Me” and expressing deep sorrow on “Waiting For Sirens,” while exuding pure charm on “Million Miles Away” and conveying an audible wink on the playful “Song Without A Name.”

Along with her music, Andrea throws in some of her old favourites. “My

Andrea Nixon will be featuring both her new songs and country classics from the past in her Camrose show.

favourite song to perform is Loretta Lynn’s “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” I was not born to a coal miner in Butcher Hollar, but instead to a construction worker who lived in various places around Alberta and BC before he got sick in Kitimat at an aluminum smelter. I thought of all the coal miner’s who have succumbed to sickness and I felt a connec-

tion. I also think that this song has the most poignant line in all of country music.

‘He shovelled coal to make a poor man’s dollar.’ Through my own life experience, I’ve come to realize that a poor man’s dollar has a lot more value than a rich man’s one,” reflected Andrea.

She loves the atmosphere the Bailey gives and that is why Andrea wants

to film the show. “Filming the show gives us an opportunity to promote the venue and give folks an experience of the theatre from their homes, which will hopefully in turn, bring them out the next time we come through town as well as help the venue draw crowds throughout the year. Historic venues are a real cultural asset and deserve to be experienced and appreciated,” said an excited Andrea.

“In terms of the show itself, music fans can expect a comprehensive review of country music released from 1928 to today. Songs performed by various artists including Alison Krauss, Carlene Carter, Dolly Parton and The Dixie Chicks among others, will be featured. The audience can expect to be taken back in time though the soundtrack of their very own lives. Our show features insights into the songwriters and artists themselves as well as select tunes off my debut album,” shared Andrea.

Prior to the show, you can mingle with other music fans during a coffee and cookies time starting at 2 p.m.

Local women’s shelter reports increased usage

By Lori Larsen

In a release of data by the Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters (ACWS), the number of women, children and seniors seeking refuge from domestic violence across Alberta is alarming.

Between 2015 and 2018, 30,987 women, children and seniors were sheltered in Alberta. Of that number, 10,390 in 2017-18, is up 360 over the previous year.

“Comparatively, for the last two-and-a-half years, the shelter has been busier than ever,” said Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear.

From April 1, 2015 to March 31 of 2018, 1,036 women and children were sheltered in Camrose.

“Our numbers are rising and the situations we are encountering are more complicated. In 2016, we saw around 155 women go through our doors, in 2017 that number rose to 167.”

ACWS indicated that women entering shelters are facing increasing risk of being murdered by an intimate partner. In 201718, 64.8 per cent of the women completing the Danger Assessment (DA) faced severe or extreme levels of danger with more women being threatened with a gun or subjected to strangulation.

“Any rise in the numbers of women facing severe or extreme dan-

ger of being murdered by their intimate partner is extremely worrying,” said Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters executive director, Jan Reimer.

Rear added, “Women in rural communities are at a significantly higher risk of being murdered by an intimate partner.”

According to the ACWS statistics, crisis calls to shelters across Alberta rose 10 per cent since 201516 (from 52,562) to 58,117 in 2017-18.

“Our yearly crisis line calls went from 868 in 2016-17 to 1,161 in 201718,” said Rear. “In an average month, the shelter receives 86 calls for admission into the shelter. We have 22 beds in total for families; the families who are staying in shelter are staying longer because we do not have enough safe, affordable spaces to move to, which then decreases the availability of shelter spaces.”

The data also indicated that in the past three years, 18,136 children were served in shelters and through outreach programs.

“The impact of domestic violence on children is far reaching,” remarked Rear. “The younger the child is when the abuse starts, the more profound the effects. Depending on the severity, the length, the external protective or contributing factors, the

effects manifest in a broad spectrum of behaviours.

The effects can present as ADHD, sleeping difficulties, social or emotional regulation, anxiety or the ability to feel safe in any environment.”

Rear reported, “During the 2017-18 year, Camrose turned away 364 women and children.

“One of the ways we are trying to address turnaways, is to provide a service in Camrose that works with clients who decide they do not want to come to the shelter, or who we may not have had capacity for when they called, but we can definitely support by providing a safe place to connect to counseling and resources.”

In an effort to address the issue of domestic violence, training has been provided to over 490 shelter staff and staff of other community organizations such as local police and RCMP, and programs and initiatives such as Walk a Mile and Breakfast with the Guys, are breaking down barriers and creating much needed awareness in the community.

In a recent survey conducted by ACWS entitled Men’s Attitude Survey responses, questions regarding violence against women indicated that 92 per cent of men believe violence against women and girls is a concern to them; and while many men wit-

nessed harassment of women, just over two-thirds checked to see if the victim was okay, 56 per cent challenged the man engaged in the harassment and only 14 per cent reported the incident to the police.

“Alberta’s men are compassionate, concerned and capable of leading change, said Reimer, continuing that more work needs to be done to empower men to be engaged bystanders and take positive action to support women and girls facing abuse and harassment .

Organizations such as the Grey Cup-winning Calgary Stampeders and Hockey Alberta are working closely with ACWS through the Leading Change Call to Action to bring to light this growing concern; and between 2016-18, 8,879 junior high and high school students (across Alberta) were educated on the affect domestic violence has on everyone in the community.

Camrose Women’s Shelter is a not-for-profit emergency shelter that provides a safe and supportive environment and housing for women and children escaping domestic violence in a crisis situation, or who may be homeless.

With the capacity to shelter up to seven families (wheelchair accessibility), the Shelter provides the basic needs including food, clothing and shelter.

An on-site Kindergar-

ten to Grade 12 School ensures students continue their education in a safe environment during their stay and playschool and childcare are also available.

As well, counselling, referrals, safety planning and other life skills are offered through the Shelter, with access to community-based programs and organizations that offer support and services to aid in the transition away from the Shelter towards safe housing. Access to outreach programming is available after they leave the Shelter.

“The shelter can’t address the seriousness of family violence in the Camrose area alone,” concluded Rear. “We need the involvement of the community, of leaders in business, government and sport to be advocates for and recognize that violence against women is not a women’s or men’s issue, it’s a human issue and it affects everyone.”

Dean Berger to explore new paths

By Lori Larsen

In an emotional evening honouring University of Alberta Augustana Campus dean Allen Berger’s dedication to Augustana and his commitment to student success, friends and colleagues shared their fond memories and warm wishes to Allen and wife Dr. Rebecca Berger during the Augustana annual 2019 Spring Soiree.

Master of Ceremonies Augustana student, Jessica Logan, began by welcoming guests to the Soiree and explaining how the sense of community she felt at Augustana during her first visit was what helped her determine where she would attend post secondary, convincing her to come to Augustana.

Logan then introduced the evening’s first speaker, University of Alberta Chancellor Douglas Stollery, who brought official greetings and congratulations on behalf of North Campus.

Stollery explained that Augustana is referred to as the crown jewel of University of Alberta because of the students, the support of many community leaders in Camrose and beyond, creativity and commitment of the Augustana faculty and staff, and finally, Dean Allen Berger. “Your vision, leadership and outstanding commitment to both the University and community have been critical factors in the success of Augustana. Your work is a powerful expression of our commitment at the University of Alberta to serving the public good.”

Dean Allen Berger delivered a heartfelt speech.

Dean Berger took to the podium in his usual polished manner, but steered away from what would normally be the annual report to the community. Instead, he gave a heartfelt speech on his eight years as dean with Augustana, what the community of Augustana and Camrose and area has meant to him and Rebecca (Becky), and the path that lies ahead.

“Eight years ago, we arrived here in Camrose as outsiders–citizens of another country and veterans of a quite different post secondary system.”

Implying that originally, he thought he would come to Augustana and just put in his time, Berger admitted that all changed very quickly. “What I found here was a campus that had fairly recently experienced its own major transition from private to public, from largely teaching focused to becoming part of a worldclass research university.”

Berger likened his and Becky’s own transition to Camrose and this part of their life’s journey to that of Augustana. “Thankful for new opportunities, still in some ways asking if it really belonged, still working to establish an identity, wondering how they would fit in (Augustana to University of Alberta faculty) and what the future would hold. What a difference eight years makes.”

In speaking on the past eight years, Berger remarked, “Augustana’s own journey these last eight years seem to me like ours. Gaining comfort with a new identity and imagining an exciting future. Looking back, there are many

examples and milestones to point to. Since at events where it involves being one of the campuses are largely defined by the people who students and he does it very well; he has been work there, we might point to the new amazing part of the organization from one end to the and talented faculty and staff. People who have other and something he and Becky and we as been drawn by our public liberal arts mission, individuals can all be very proud of.” by our commitment to experiential education, University of Alberta Saint-Jean campus by our strong sense of community and by our dean of faculty, Pierre-Yves Mocquais passed affiliation with the U of A.” on well wishes to Allen and Becky in their Berger also pointed out examples of addi- future endeavours. tions to the campus facility itself throughout University of Alberta senator, Christina his time at Augustana, including the Jeanne Rebus honoured Rebecca in a speech that and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, touched upon Rebecca’s endearing qualities, renovated Founders Hall, Wahkohtowin Lodge, the Rashmi Bale Learning Common, modern- specifically her incredible sense of humour. ized labs and classrooms, research station at “From the minute Becky arrived in Camrose Miquelon Lake Provincial Park and the Arlene she became involved in community and Augustana life,” which Rebus said has continued tenand Alver Person Pedway.

Berger referred to Augustana’s accomplishments including the new academic calendar (3-11) and, most recently, a shift towards more interdisciplinary programs or concentrations and a core curriculum that will include a series of staff (motivated), project and team-based learning opportunities.

In looking to the future, Berger said, “I believe both Becky and I as individuals and Augustana as an institution are in similar places. We have both taken significant steps on a journey with many changes, both gained confidence in new identities and are both poised to address new challenges.”

He referred to the concept of Path Dependency, commenting that while history matters relying on old approaches and failing to question the status quo can blind people and institutions to the ways in which traditions are no longer adequate to meet changing circumstances. He Rebecca Berger, left receives flowers and a hug advised that faculty and staff need to from Christina Rebus as continue to ask what is it Augustana emcee Jessica Logan looks on. does that has enduring value and what Reverend Craig Wentland honoured Allen can afford to be lost. “The answer is with humourous anecdotes and words of recpretty clear.

“As for Becky and I, our future is partly about path dependency.” He said they are not about change dramatically, but are excited about the possibilities and a new journey of self discovery and with reference to Huck Finn, indicated what lies ahead will include new discoveries.

He thanked everyone for their support, encouragement and engagement with Augustana with a final warm thank you to wife Becky.

In celebration of the independence of Norway, Camrose and area residents are invited to take part in Syttende Mai Day (National Day of Norway) ceremonies to be held at the Bill Fowler Centre on May 17 from 9 until 11 a.m.

“It celebrates the day when the constitution, making Norway an independent kingdom, was signed,” explained Valerie Sims, one of the organizers for the Camrose event.

“In Norway, it is celebrated with flags, speeches and parades. Here in Camrose, it has been celebrated by the Sons of Norway for many years.”

Sons of Norway member, Lyle Erga said, “The Sons of Norway has been active in Camrose for at least 50 years. They once spent the day at the Railway Museum when they were honouring Norwegians, showing how to carve wood, sew, bake and do Norwegian crafts.”

This year, special guest Ingrid Urberg, Norwegian professor from University of Alberta Augustana Campus, will be speaking about Norwegian culture.

The event is often accompanied by a host of activities for attendees to participate in, such as decorating the park, dinners, parades and various cultural activities.

“Many people dress up in traditional Norwegian costume,” added Sims.

Coffee and treats will be available during the event and everyone is welcome to come and celebrate in Norwegian culture and history, which is deep-rooted in Camrose and area.

Scammers phishing for your info Continued from page 21 Protect yourself

The number one way to protect yourself from becoming the victim of phishing scams is to never give out personal information to anyone you do not know or trust; and, if in doubt as to the actual identify of the person requesting the information, check it out.

Contact the person and or organization /agency/ business via a telephone number through a credible source.

Constable Bauer said that it is vital to protect your personal information. “Never provide your personal information over the phone, email or internet and avoid public Wi-Fi to access your per-

sonal information.” He also recommended creating strong passwords and avoid using passwords that are easily linked to you such as birthdates or house numbers. “Use a secure payment service when buying online.

Look for a URL starting with ‘https’ and a closed padlock symbol. Just be aware.”

Never share personal information over email or other social media sites.

Get in the habit of checking the website address to verify its legitimacy. Always be suspicious of emails or websites you do not recognize and do not click on sites you are not familiar with or open

emails from someone you do not know.

Keep your antivirus programs on your computer updated and do not store your passwords on your system.

Check your bank account and credit card statements on a regular basis and report any suspicious activity immediately to your financial institution or credit provider.

If you receive one of these suspicious e-mails or texts, report it immediately to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or the institution that it appears to be from.

If you feel you were the victim of a scam, report it to your local police.

Wilkie revs up his 1952 Studebaker truck

By Murray Green

Looks can be deceiving. From the outside Elmer Wilkie’s 1952 Studebaker truck looks like a farm half ton from years gone by. But one look under the hood tells a different story. He added a big block Chevrolet 496 engine with a little more horsepower than your average truck of that time period.

The Ferintosh area resident re-built his truck with speed in mind. “I bought this truck from Johnny Gust of Bashaw about 20 years ago.

Gust was the Case Implements dealer in Bashaw at the time. It was in rough shape, so I picked up two more of them in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. All of them were in terrible shape,” explained Elmer.

“I took the best parts from all three and put together this truck, which I have about 1,000 hours into it. The truck was in the making for about 12 years, off and on. The Studebaker trucks are different and rare,” he said of the attraction to the brand and style.

“When I go to a car show, I’m probably the only one, or only one other owner of a Studebaker in the show.”

Even with three parts vehicles, keeping it original was too tough of a challenge. “The truck has a Camero clip on front and a Ford nine inch rear end with link suspension in the

FUN FACTS

Studebaker was an American automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana. Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 as the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the firm was originally a producer of wagons for farmers, miners and the military.

Studebaker entered the automotive business in 1902 with electric vehicles and in 1904 with gasoline vehicles, all sold under the name Studebaker Automobile Company. Until 1911, its automotive division operated in partnership with the Garford Company of Elyria, Ohio, and after 1909 with the E-M-F Company. The first gasoline automobiles to be fully manufactured by Studebaker were marketed in August 1912. Over the next 50 years, the company established a reputation for good quality and reliability.

After years of financial problems, the company merged in 1954 with luxury carmaker Packard to form the Studebaker-Packard Corporation. However, Studebaker’s financial problems were worse than the Packard executives had thought. The Packard marque was phased out, and the company returned to the Studebaker Corporation name in 1962. The South Bend plant ceased production on Dec. 20, 1963 and the last Studebaker automobile rolled off the Hamilton, Ontario, assembly line on March 17, 1966.

heads. It has 543 horsepower that was dyno-tested with 600 pounds of torque,” said Elmer proudly.

The truck floor is made of oak and he has installed French lights on the back end. “The rear bumper is off of a Ford. I did everything except the interior. I’ve had to make a few modifications along the way. This took a lot more work than my 1934 car. The fenders were beat up, welded and wired together. The back of the cab was full of dents from fence posts banging against it. The trouble is you can’t find a good one, so you have to spend a lot of time fixing them,” shared Elmer.

“I added a Corvette brake pedal, put in power brakes, power windows and power seats. The dashes on these trucks are inside out.

You have to get at everything from under the hood.

I built a handle to cover everything, otherwise it would be exposed,” showed Elmer.

“You have to add some modern conveniences to make it enjoyable to drive and show. I like that everything is rounded, it adds to the look of the vehicles. They

were one of the first trucks to have in-the-door running boards. The seats are out of a newer Dodge, complete with seat belts.

Jumpstart continues to assist with children’s activities

By Murray Green

TIRES. BRAKES. OIL. EVERYTHING.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities continue to help children participate in sports and physical activity, by assisting families to overcome the financial barriers associated with registration, equipment and transportation costs.

A national charity with a local focus, Jumpstart makes sure every child has an equal opportunity to participate. Canadian Tire is encouraging customers to donate at their local store to ensure it leaves a positive and lasting impact on children.

“Last year, the Camrose Chapter of Jumpstart Charities helped 201 Camrose-area children by raising $25,459 (about $30,355 was disbursed with some funds coming from outside of Jumpstart).

The local chapter includes FGL Sports (Sport Chek), Mark’s Work Warehouse and Canadian Tire and assists children to play sports, or help with programs that get children active,” said local Canadian Tire store owner Dave Jewell. “This goes to children who otherwise would not have been able to get involved. The funds covered things like registration, transportation fees, equipment and training,” said Jewell.

Since the program started, the Camrose chapter has helped 1,255 children and has disbursed funds to local families

Wutzke golfs with hockey legends

By Murray Green

Local golfer Rory Wutzke received a thrill of a lifetime when he had the opportunity to meet several hockey celebrities and a legendary rock singer in Phoenix.

“He was invited to play in the Phoenix Coyotes Alumni Tournament with good friends of mine (Laura and Ian Warrack) and part owners of the Las Sendas Golf Course in Mesa,” said Rory’s mom Kathy Schultz.

“Ian heard I was getting into golf more and decided to invite me down and enter my name in the tournament,” said an excited Rory.

In the April 8 tournament, Rory met some famous celebrities such as rocker Alice Cooper, and hockey players Shane Doan, Lanny McDonald, Marty McSorley, Colin Patterson and Gary Roberts.

Cooper is a longtime member of the course and provided each of the winners of the (18 under par) team with a signed guitar.

“It was unreal, just getting to meet the celebrities and old NHL players. I’ve played hockey for six years, so it was good to meet some of the players. They were

all very nice people,” said Rory, who won the McClennan Ross Junior Tour event in Camrose last summer.

He hopes to enter the tournament again this summer (July 18), along with some higher profile events such as the Maple Leaf Junior Tour.

“It was hot, 35 degrees, but it was cool to play in a tournament with so many celebrities,” said the 15-year-old OLMP student.

“I golfed with PGA tour player Charlie Beljan.”

(They scored a 12 under par on the course.)

As a prize from the tournament, Rory received an Arizona Coyotes golf bag to go along with the new clubs he purchased at the factory.

He also received a tour at the Ping Factory and had a VIP custom club fitting to prepare him for this season. “They have a vault with putters from golfers who have won tournaments and Masters. It was cool to see the gold putters and the names,” said Rory.

The hockey player and golfer is leaning towards playing golf after high school and wants to earn a scholarship at a college or university.

Over his working life, Elmer was employed at Maple Leaf Service Station, Canada Safeway, Motor Car Supply and his career job with ALCB at the Camrose and Mannville vendors. Declining health eventually made it necessary to enter long term care and his final home was with Bethany Meadows at Aspen Cottage where he was administered the very best of care.

Elmer is survived by his two sons Darrell (Kelly) and her family, and Corey (Connie); three grandsons; one granddaughter; one great-grandson; sister Grace (Gerald) Torpe and sister-in-law Jean and their families; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. His church family at Grace Lutheran Church was very important to Elmer and he cherished their visits and prayers.

He was predeceased by his parents Homer Sr. and Bertha Teeple and brothers Philip and Homer Jr. We would like to sincerely thank Pastor Greg Kjos and Elder Eric Reuther for the very fitting service and the members of Grace Lutheran Church for the lovely lunch served afterwards.

The flowers, fruit, cards, kind words and memorials in Elmer’s name are all greatly appreciated.

We want to also commend the staff at Aspen Cottage and St. Mary’s Hospital for the wonderful care given.

Ordean Eldon Broen May 18, 1936 ~ April 21, 2019 Ordean passed away April 21, 2019 on Easter Sunday at the age of 82, after a fiveyear struggle with Alzheimer’s. He spent his last 10 months in St. Mary’s Hospital, Memory Lane Bethany and finally at Rosehaven Westview in Palliative Care.

Ordean was born on a farm near Armena, Alberta on May 18, 1936. He was baptized and confirmed at Scandia Lutheran Church in Armena. He attended Armena School where he met his wife Lavona and they were married in 1956. They had 62 great years together and three children Daryl, Sandra and Donna. They were also foster parents to Sylvia Nile for several years and to many other shorter term foster children.

Ordean started his career in grocery sales, later deciding to follow his dream of becoming a Police Officer. He joined the Camrose City Police Service in 1962 where he was employed for 27 years.

He also owned, raised and showed registered Quarter Horses, buying and selling horses in Canada, the USA and as far away as Italy.

Ordean loved sports, especially baseball and hockey in his youth, and golf and tennis in his later years. He loved to hunt with his son, brothers, nephews and his buddy Carl Kopperud.

Ordean and Lavona spent 25 awesome winters in Arizona where they developed many special memories and friendships.

Ordean volunteered many years for Habitat for Humanity.

He was involved in the Camrose builds, Habitat Restore, and an international Habitat build in Guyana, South America. He also volunteered for a month for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Hawaii.

Ordean was a member of Messiah Lutheran Church for 62 years where he started the Wednesday Workers ministry, an idea brought home from some of his American friends.

Throughout his journey with Alzheimer’s, he never lost faith that God would be with him and guide him through that difficult diagnosis. He was blessed to be cared for at home by Lavona for most of that journey, only having to spend 10 months in full-time care.

He loved his family and cared about each one with interest and compassion. He leaves behind his wife Lavona; son Daryl (Kathy), daughter Sandi (Brad) Miller and daughter Donna (Doug) MacKintosh; grandchildren Heather (Dave) Reich, Ian, Jocelyn (Travis) Kotyk, Sarah Miller, Hannah (Josh) Zook and Dayanna MacKintosh; great-grandchildren Faith, Thomas, Bereket and Logan Reich, Chloe and Caleb Kotyk; brothers Lorne (Mary) and Randy (Eileen); brothers-in-law Doug (Gail) Peterson and Gary (Sandra) Peterson; sister-in-law Barbara (Dave) Rioux; and many loved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Tony and Eldie Broen and in-laws Adolph and Doris Peterson.

A funeral service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2019 from the Messiah Lutheran Church, 4810-50 Street, Camrose, with Rev. Bev Swanson officiating. Interment has taken place in the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, April 30, 2019 – Page 35

Kurt Franz Pilger Kurt Franz Pilger of Camrose passed away on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at the age of 90 years.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Helen; children Gerald (Cheryl) of Camrose, Ron (Marnie) of Camrose, Barbara (Darrell) Peter of Red Deer, and Dave (Evelyne) of Grande Prairie; ten grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and siblings Kay (Wally) Shaw of Edmonton and Rita Wolski of Camrose.

Kurt was predeceased by his parents Emil and Kaethe Pilger; brothers Hans and Dick; sisters Doris and Betty; and two great-grandsons.

Kurt lived his entire life on the family farm southeast of Camrose.

Kurt fondly remembered the nine years he spent at the oneroom schoolhouse at Heatherbrae, cutting willow branches for hockey sticks and using frozen horse droppings for the puck. He never forgot the time the entire school rode on hay bales in the back of Curly Beesley’s truck all the way to Edmonton to see the King and Queen parade down Jasper Avenue.

Kurt went on to complete two years of high school while honing his mechanical skills by working at Central Garage in Camrose.

But farming was always in Kurt’s blood, and he returned home after grade 11 to lend a hand, eventually taking over the family farm, and building it into a successful business. In 1954, he married Helen Woods and she became his lifelong partner in fulfilling his farming dream. Over the next 11 years, they were blessed with four children, and last month they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.

In 1967, against the advice of their banker, they built a dairy barn and milked cows for the next 30 years. Slowly the growing dairy herd replaced the pigs, turkeys, chickens and beef cows that were fixtures on most farms in those days. The steady income from milking cows enabled Kurt to buy the new John Deere equipment of which he was so proud, a new car every two or three years, and to travel.

In 1996, a farm accident resulted in Kurt suffering a detached retina. Unfortunately, he eventually lost sight in one eye which prompted the sale of the cows and expansion of cropped acres.

Without the dairy cows tying them to the farm, Kurt and Helen took up golf and enjoyed many golf outings with his sister Doris and her husband Denis Day. Kurt never gave up his farming dream and right up until the time of his death, he still played an active role in managing the farm. While he was less able to operate the equipment or play a physical role in the business the last few years, he still followed the markets daily and the weather multiple times a day.

Kurt was extremely fortunate to live his entire life on the farm where he was born. He lived a long and fulfilled life. He will be missed!

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at the Camrose Resort Casino Reception Hall (3201-48 Avenue, Camrose) with Rev. Mary Ann Pastuck officiating.

If desired, memorial contributions in Kurt’s memory may be made to the Kurt and Helen Pilger Fund at the Battle River Community Foundation or to St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation.

Beverly Ann Brown Beverly Ann Brown passed away on April 16, 2019, at the age of 77. While we grieve her loss, we know that she is finally at peace.

Beverly loved to spend time with family and friends and had a keen sense of responsibility when it came to helping others. She found joy in her many years of working with special needs children, as well as her countless hours of volunteer work with P.A.R.D.S. (Peace Area Riding for the Disabled Society).

What Beverly enjoyed most was spending time with her grandchildren. She took pride in helping raise them and watching them grow into the individuals they are today.

Beverly was never one to back down from a challenge and enjoyed life to the fullest.

She was predeceased by her husband Ronald John Brown in 2006; father Merlin McBride; mother Phyllis McBride; and brother Dale McBride.

Beverly will be sadly missed by her son Dean Brown and his children Cory Brown (Lindsay MacLeod, Jayce and Kyler), Jeccyka Greek (Tamara Greek) and Troy Brown; daughter Cheryl Nealon (Kevin) and their children Michael, Danielle and Lee; son Doug Brown; brothers Staryl McBride (Carolyne) and Kevin McBride (Dolores); and sister Arlene Poxon (Larry); as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at Weber’s Mount Pleasant Chapel in Camrose with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment followed at Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Honour your departed friend or relative …with a memorial gift that will do good in their name forever.

David Ofrim Vice Chairman 780-672-3534

Q.

How can I establish a “Fund” with the Battle River Community Foundation?

A.

A Fund may be launched with as little as $1,000 and a pledge to grow the Fund to $10,000 within ten years. Additional contribution may be made monthly, yearly or as a one-time donation.

When the fund reaches $10,000, a permanent endowment fund, named as you wish, is established. It will then start giving back to the community, in accordance with your instructions, forever.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

The interior of the home has also been very well cared for and boasts many upgrades, including new windows and flooring in most rooms.

The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and a serving counter to a dinette nook, with garden doors leading out to an absolutely stunning backyard.

This fully fenced beautifully landscaped piece of paradise has underground sprinklers, wonderful mature trees and shrubs, a firepit and serene

water fountain that can all be enjoyed from your back deck.

Completing the main floor are the master suite with en suite, two bedrooms, a main bathroom, convenient main floor laundry and another family room area.

The lower level is completely finished with a large open recreation room that could easily house a pool table and big screen television; and the in-floor heating makes it the perfect place for family get-togethers or game night.

Another bedroom, full bathroom and plenty of storage finish off the downstairs living area.
