They’re not happy! Will Anderson, the garden centre manager at Canadian Tire, Camrose, and Bryce Fleck, seasonal goods manager, are obviously not impressed with the recent work of Mother Nature.

Spring weather has been a frustrating challenge for those in the farm community and for the urban green thumb crowd as well.

Greenhouse and garden centre operators are putting up with the slow start to their season, but are more anxious to look ahead to this week’s predicted weather than reflect on last week’s late spring snowfall and abnormally cold conditions.

As seeding of farm crops kicks into high gear and activity at gardening source locations picks up, we hope the weather that lies ahead is absolutely perfect for all green that you’re growing.

The gift that changes our brains

Last week I saw my firstthis-year sunset reflected over water, and stopped to take in the beauty of sky and water in gold, pink and mauve. The beauty was intensified by being shared with others. It was a pure gift of nature. We didn’t have to do anything to be bathed in that beauty.

It was there for anyone who noticed. I felt flooded with gratitude. I was still feeling grateful when I saw an article, “How Gratitude Changes You and Your Brain” by Joel Wong and Joshua Brown. They began by saying that many studies over the past decade have found that, “people who consciously count their blessings tend to be happier and less depressed.”

Most research studies on gratitude have been conducted with well-functioning people. Wong and Brown wondered whether gratitude is beneficial for people who struggle with mental health concerns.

They conducted a study involving nearly 300 adults, mostly college students who were seeking mental health counseling. They recruited participants just before their first session of counseling. On average, participants reported clinically low levels of mental health at the time. Most struggled with depression and anxiety.

Wong and Brown randomly assigned study participants into three groups. All three groups received counseling services. The first group was also instructed to write one letter of gratitude to another person each week for three weeks.

The second group was asked to write about their deepest thoughts and feelings about a negative experience. The third group wrote nothing.

The results? Here’s their conclusion. “Those who wrote gratitude letters reported significantly better mental health four weeks and 12 weeks after their writing exercise ended.

This suggests that gratitude writing can be beneficial not just for healthy, well-adjusted individuals, but also for those who struggle with mental health concerns.” They also came to four other conclusions.

1. Gratitude unshackles us from toxic emotions.

The researchers analyzed the words used by participants in each of the two writing groups. Not surprisingly, those in the gratitude writing group used a higher percentage of positive emotion words. However, people who used more positive emotion words didn’t necessarily have better mental health later. It was only when people used fewer negative emotion words in their letters that they were significantly more likely to report better mental health. This made me think, not only about the positive power of gratitude but about the “downer” impact of negative words–on the speaker. I’ll be more attentive from now on.

2. Gratitude helps even if you don’t share it. If you’re shy about gushing your gratitude, you can relax. In the study, three-quarters of those who wrote gratitude letters did not send them. They experienced more positive mental health whether or not they sent the letters. Writing about gratitude is uplifting in itself.

3. Gratitude’s benefits take time. The mental health benefits of gratitude writing gradually emerged over time.

The different groups did not differ in mental health levels one week after the end of the writing activities, but individuals in the gratitude group reported better mental health four weeks after the writing activities. This difference in mental health became even greater 12 weeks after the writing.

4. Gratitude has lasting effects on the brain. About three months after the letter writing, researchers did an MRI scan to measure brain activity of some participants while they did a “pay it forward” activity. The gratitude letter writers showed greater activation in the brain area associated with learning and decision making. The researchers say, “This is striking as this effect was found three months after the letter writing began. This indicates that simply expressing gratitude may have lasting effects on the brain. While not conclusive, this finding suggests that practicing gratitude may help train the brain to be more sensitive to the experience of gratitude down the line, and this could contribute to improved mental health over time.” I’m grateful to have read about the study!

Grad message

Fifteen years ago, I co-delivered the valedictory address at the CCHS graduation. I gave a typical speech, focusing on our grad theme of ‘live, love, and learn.’ I knew at the time that this aspirational alliteration was not my full reality, nor the reality of many of my peers.

Here’s what I should have said instead: “High school can be hell. To get here today, all of us have gone through our own challenges–some more than others. And our happy faces, shiny suits, and colourful dresses show how well a lot of us have learned to hide our struggles. People may know me as the happy-go-lucky class clown.

What they don’t know is that my transition to high school was, at the time, a nightmare. I felt so different, alone, and that no one would understand what I was going through.

Any social interaction was fraught with anxiety and fear of rejection. Lunches were spent hiding in the bathroom. Thoughts of harming myself were common. The few people who noticed told me it would get better. This may not have been the advice I needed at the time, but it was true.

All it took was a few classmates to show kindness to me, and gradually it did indeed get better. I was lucky–I bet there are a few of us who never did find those people.

If there’s one thing I’d like everyone to remember, it’s that everyone is going through their own struggles. So, try to be good

to one another–I apologize for when I wasn’t. And, if things get dark–talk to someone. If there’s no one in your life you feel comfortable confiding in, call the Camrose Addiction and Mental Health Clinic at 780-672-1181 for an appointment, and 1-877303-2642 for their 24-hour crisis line. We are all in this together.

Mike Benusic, Toronto, with frequent visits back to Camrose KidSport

I would like to thank you for giving KidSport Camrose the opportunity to showcase this year’s KidSport Camrose BikeFest on the cover of the April 23 Camrose Booster.

Despite the cold and snowy weather conditions, we had a record turnout at the BikeFest.

Our partners from the CARE Coalition, Camrose Police Service, Camrose RCMP, Alberta Health Services, Sport Chek and Kiwanis were extremely busy with their respective stations at the event.

The consignment portion of the event saw a record number of bicycles, 60 in total, consigned or donated. It was wonderful to watch patrons large and small find affordable “new” to them wheels just in time for summer.

Events such as ours are successful because of the generous support we receive from the community, so again I thank you for supporting KidSport Camrose and the community.

Ronelle Kiziak, KidSport Camrose

Mud boggers

I guess that means all our snowmobiling trespassers now turn into mud boggers? I never heard that term used until we read Lori’s article.

Please pass on our appreciation for that excellent piece. We struggle with all the OHV-users treating our farmland as their private playground… year round. We have posted on every quarter with “No Trespassing” signs, and they enter and leave our fields at will, within a few metres of the signs.

Very frustrating.

As for reporting them to the RCMP so that they can be “charged”…they are gone before we can get near enough to them to identify them. In one case of snowmobilers, we know they are neighbours, so we have asked them to stay off our fields. They don’t.

And, on one occasion when we actually saw them, we reported it, along with the day and time. Nothing happened.

In the winter, we provided the RCMP with photos of the tracks in the snow (again a few metres from a No Trespassing sign).

And again, there were no results.

But thank Lori for paying it some heed.

Please pass our thanks on to her.

Thanks for all of your efforts to make The Booster a good (informative) read.

Marion Leithead, Bawlf

In the wake of the provincial election, I wanted to address a few stereotypes surrounding the Indigenous vote in Alberta in particular and Canada in general. In part, this article is in response to the view perpetuated in the media that the New Democratic Party (NDP) automatically had the Indigenous vote.

Such beliefs ignore the fact that the NDP and United Conservative Party (UCP) Daniel Sims, each ran three Indigenous History, Augustana candidates, while the Alberta Campus University Party ran five. (Given that of Alberta Indigenous peoples represent 6.5 per cent of the Albertan population none of these numbers is truly representative of voter population, but that is a topic for another article).

More importantly, the perception that Indigenous peoples always vote NDP ignores the fact that, when one looks at official Elections Alberta results at polling stations where Indigenous peoples dominate (Alexis, Beaver Lake, Buffalo Lake, Brocket, Cold Lake First Nation, Kehewin, Kikino, Maskwacis, Morley, O’Chiese, Saddle Lake, Siksika, Sunchild, Tsuu T’ina, and Whitefish Lake), “none of the above” was the preferred candidate. Yes, technically the NDP often had the most votes, but always below 50 per cent of the vote, and in some cases, just a handful of votes more than the UCP. In one instance, (Kikino) the UCP had the most votes.

In short, not every Indigenous voter is card-carrying member of the NDP and hundreds of votes could potentially go any party. This reality is reflected in the platform of all of the major parties in the last provincial election and most of the minor ones. Every party, from the UCP to the Communist Party of Alberta, had a distinct Indigenous plank in its platform. The UCP, for example, promised to bring economic and social prosperity back to Indigenous communities, especially with regard to resource extraction.

Indeed, a $10 million dedicated fund was proposed to help pro-resource development groups. They also pledged to work with the federal government to streamline Indigenous access to health and education.

The NDP and Alberta Party made similar pledges, albeit with more attention to reconciliation, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and, in the case of the Alberta Party, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Missing and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

A bigger problem is voter apathy. Apathy is an issue across Canada—during the last provincial election, a record 64 per cent of eligible voters actually voted. A big reason for this apathy is that many voters do not think their vote matters. This view is particularly relevant in so-called safe ridings where parties can seemingly run anyone and still win the election.

Voter apathy, however, is an even bigger problem among Indigenous Canadians. Add into this equation the history of the Indigenous franchise in Canada and Alberta and you have yet another reason why so few Indigenous people vote. True, technically the Métis and non-status Indians have been able to vote federally since Confederation and provincially since the creation of Alberta in 1905.

However, for a variety of reasons, such as poverty and/or isolation, this right was at times hard to exercise. It should be noted other Canadians faced similar problems if they fell into either category.

For status Indians (aka treaty Indians), with a brief exception for soldiers during the 1917 federal election, the right to vote in federal elections was not extended until 1960, with the provincial franchise extended in 1965. Prior to these two dates, in order to gain the right to vote (with the exception of 1917), status Indians had to give up their status and become non-status Indians. With a few exceptions, this surrender rarely occurred, in large part because it often meant the individual could no longer live on reserve and would become alienated from their home community.

In short, for many people, voting became identified with not being Indigenous; this has only contributed to the feeling that one’s vote does not matter. Until this changes, “none of the above” will no doubt continue to be the preferred candidate for Indigenous voters in Alberta.

Nutrition for babies

By Lori Larsen

On May 16 and July 11 from 10 a.m. until noon, Alberta Health Services is offering a free infant nutrition class at the Camrose Community Health Centre, 5510-46 Avenue.

Parents or others who have questions about feeding their growing baby are encouraged to attend the class to learn valuable information from registered dietitians who will be answering questions about introducing solids and textures.

The two-hour workshop highlights why babies need to start on iron-rich foods at six months, how to start introducing solid foods and why progressing to different food textures is important.

Attendees are encouraged to bring babies to the class.

Instruction and demonstration will be provided on how to make your own baby food using a variety of kitchen tools you may already have at home. Parents learn how to prepare vegetables, fruit, meat and meat alternatives using a number of different tools, including hand mixers, food mills and food processors.

The class ends with a taste test to compare storebought baby foods and homemade baby foods for taste and texture.

For more information and to register to attend, telephone 780-679-2980.

Swift, decisive action needed for Canada

By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

In my last column, I wrote briefly about Prime Minister Trudeau’s weak leadership in dealing with the threats posed by the Chinese, particularly with respect to Canadian exports. While the Liberals finally offered financial compensation to canola farmers, so much more needs to be done as this trade war continues to escalate with Canadian pork exporters being the latest casualty.

In a nationally broadcast press conference, on Monday, April 29, Conservative leader, Andrew Scheer called on the Prime Minister to take three immediate and concrete steps to restore Canada’s canola trade with China: 1. Appoint an Ambassador to China; 2. Increase the cap and interest-free period of the federal Advance Program; and 3. Launch a complaint at the World Trade Organization (WTO). He has also recommended the government withdraw the $256 million it has designated for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a Chinese counterpart to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.

It has now been over three months since John McCallum was fired as Canada’s Ambassador to China.

Canada is now severely underrepresented in one of the world’s most important capital cities. Making a blatantly political appointment to China in the first place was a major error on Prime Minister Trudeau’s part. The least he can do is address his mistakes so that Canada’s interests are represented in Beijing.

Echoing the request of Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Scheer asked that the maximum loan amounts under the Advance Payments Program (APP) be increased from $400,000 to $1,000,000 and that the full loan be temporarily made interest free. The Liberals responded two days later by announcing that for a specified period-of-time, farmers will be able to borrow up to a maximum of $1,000,000, but only the first $500,000 will be interest free. This is up from the current amount of $100,000.

As I pointed out in my previous column, it is obvious that China’s actions to punish Canadian farmers are completely arbitrary and given the world class quality of Canada’s canola, have nothing to do with science. For this reason, and given the fact that China is not even willing to receive a delegation of scientists and agricultural experts from Canada, we should immediately launch a WTO complaint against China.

Our Conservative leader is certainly not alone in his demands. Two former ambassadors and one diplomat to Beijing have been urging the Prime Minister to abandon his non-confrontational approach and take a tougher stand against the Chinese government. David Mulroney, ambassador from 2009 to 2012, is urging an end to the misguided approach of unquestioning engagement with China. Former diplomat Charles Burton is suggesting the potential expulsion of China’s ambassador to Ottawa. Burton not only believes a more aggressive approach is necessary, he believes the lack of response from Trudeau may be making the situation worse. Guy Saint-Jacque, Canada’s ambassador from 2012 to 2016, agrees with tougher measures as he also thinks we can expect more retaliation in response to the arrest of Huawei Technologies executive, Meng Wanzhou.

As recently reported in the National Post, SaintJacque said, “Quiet diplomacy hasn’t worked. It’s time for us to react and to be firm. This is the only language that China understands. We need to review our engagement strategy with China to take into account this dark side.”

In the absence of firmer actions, our 14,000 Alberta canola farmers and the 250,000 jobs they create are in serious jeopardy as are our provincial and national economies. In 2017, canola exports were valued at $11.4 billion and contributed $26.7 billion to the Canadian economy. With China representing a large share of our canola export market, it is absolutely imperative that swifter and more decisive action be taken immediately.

Checking in on mental health

By Lori Larsen

We know that a balanced diet, getting plenty of rest and exercising are key to maintaining a healthy body, but we tend to forget that without a healthy mentality it is difficult if not impossible to take care of ourselves.

Camrose psychologist Dr. Kendell Banack, helps her patients understand the importance of managing mental health and shares her take on how, as a society, we need to build more awareness on the sometimes sensitive issues surrounding mental health.

Dr. Banack completed her PhD at the University of Alberta and her internship there in counselling and clinical services, serving the students at the U of A. Along with her husband, Banack moved to Toronto where she operated a private practice until after the birth of their second child the couple decided to return to their roots in the Camrose area.

“I’ve been in private practice in Camrose now for just over a year working individual therapy with adults, couples and families.”

With her easy going, friendly manner, Banack is able to work effectively with her patients who often present with symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders or trauma.

One of the ways Banack conceptualizes the topic of mental health she refers to as emotion avoidance.

“Not only do people not talk about what is going on with themselves with others, but they are avoiding it themselves, pushing it in, not looking at it, holding the lid on the pot for as long as they can.”

She went on to describe emotion avoidance as hiding painful emotions to the point where some people turn to other, sometimes destructive methods of coping, such as abusing alcohol. “In that way, I also see suicide as a way to escape.

There is a lot of avoidance and denial that goes on.”

lowest income group are three to four times more likely than those in the highest income group to report poor to fair mental health.

With regards to any relevance between ethnicity or cultural background, Banack said there is not a lot of research that clearly defines any correlation. “It is clear that racism and social stigma and the trauma experienced by many people in certain cultural and ethnic groups would certainly influence mental health.”

Shift in paradigm

While the stigma still exists around mental

Statistics

With a long history of existence, mental health illnesses are ones that should be on the minds of every person and building awareness and increasing knowledge, a vital aspect of managing them.

To support the need for bringing about awareness, Banack related some compelling statistics.

In any given year, one in five Canadians experience a mental health illness or addiction. By the time Canadians reach 40, one or two have experienced, presently or in the past, a mental illness.

Research does suggest that there is evidence that rates of depression and anxiety are on the rise.

This has been the case since the early 1900s.

“There is evidence that suicide rates are decreasing; but mental health issues are manifesting in other ways not just with the completion of suicide,” said Banack.

She also related that there tends to be mental health trends in the way people present symptoms, which does have something to do with what seems to be acceptable in a culture.

“There is something about our understanding of how it is okay to show our trouble inside.”

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Dr. Kendell Banack offers insight into mental health well being.

Banack pointed out that while there is evidence for higher rates of mental health illness within certain groups, it does not discriminate and can affect anyone at any time.

There are some trends with age,” she noted. “Statistics show that 70 per cent of mental health concerns have an onset in childhood or adolescence.

And young people (defined as 15 to 24 years of age) are most likely to experience mental health illness or substance use disorders than any other groups.”

Banack indicated that the overall rates of mental health illness between men and women are the same, but there are differences in who tends to experience certain mental illness.

“Again I think this has to do with what is culturally acceptable.”

Women tend to have higher rates of anxiety and depression and other mood disorders, while men have higher rates of addictions.

“There is also a variation with socioeconomic factors. Poverty plays a role.”

Canadians in the

health illness, Banack is happy to report that the awareness campaigns are helping to bring light to the serious issues of mental health. “But I still feel there is a lack of knowledge and fear about what mental health illness is, what it looks like and what people might do if they know someone is unwell.”

Who to turn to

Banack said that aside from the stigma that is often associated with mental health issues, which in itself, creates barriers for people to seek help, there are also barriers created as a result of not knowing who can be sought out to receive the help needed.

She provided clarification on the difference between a psychiatrist, psychologist and certified counsellor. “A psychiatrist is a trained medical doctor who has the capacity to prescribe medication and historically would have also engaged in psycho therapy but because of demands for prescriptions, now tend to focus on medication management and some assessments.”

Police Service lay charges of armed robbery

By Lori Larsen

Camrose Police Service (CPS) Major Crimes Unit laid significant charges in several major incidents recently investigated in Camrose.

On April 13, CPS received a report from two males indicating they had been robbed at gun point for cigarettes while returning from a university event.

CPS Major Crimes Unit were able to identify

a 32-year-old male suspect, from rural Camrose, who was arrested on April 18 as a result of a traffic stop being conducted.

During the course of this police investigation, a loaded firearm that had been used in the robbery was located in the downtown area of Camrose. It was determined the firearm had an altered serial number and was stolen from a break and enter to

the local Canadian Tire which was reported on Mar. 19. The break and enter involved a subject entering the building and climbing over the security fencing in the firearms section. The subject then stole five firearms valued at over $7,000.

Further investigation revealed the suspect responsible for the robbery was also responsible for the break and enter and theft

of the five firearms. He has been charged with: Robbery with a Firearm, Possession of a Weapon dangerous to the public, carrying a Concealed Weapon, Pointing a Firearm, Tampering with a Serial Number of a Firearm, Break and Enter, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime and Break-in Instruments and Disguise with the Intent to commit an offence.

The accused was

released on a $5,000 no cash recognizance with conditions.

His first appearance in court will be May 22.

If you have any information regarding any suspicious activity, contact Camrose Police at complaint line 780-672-4444 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.tipsubmit.com.

So given the opportunity to set aside all that needs to be done in favour of all they want to do, mothers, almost unanimously, will claim, “All I really want is to spend some quality time with my children.”

A few Camrosian mothers were asked if they were given the day, or any day for that matter, to set it all aside and just be present, what would they do, and the responses were heartwarming.

Georgina Baker remarked, “I would love the gift of time with my boys, Marco and Mateo. Just snuggling in bed and reading a chapter book together.” With a minute to think further, she added, “Also, one of our favorite things to do is put on some music and dance our hearts away.”

As the saying goes, time flies, especially as we get older so the value of spending time with family can’t be overstressed.

“It seems as my kids age (much too quickly these days), I have to remind myself to take the time they need from me because my children are only on loan for a short time,” pondered Amanda Dyer. “Every second is a gift.

Every band concert, dance recital, encounter with others reminds me that I didn’t know how proud I could be until I had my children.”

Those moments spent with children are as valuable to the children as they are to the mothers and while toys and such eventually collect dust, those moments continue to collect memories.

Cristina West said, “Being present in every moment and, of course, more snuggles, tickles, stories, laughter, dances and adventures.”

What mother and what child (no matter how old) couldn’t use a few more snuggles. Hugs, after all, bring our hearts closer together.

Submitted Lyndsey Delwo and children Joey, left, and Lonny enjoy walking the trails and seeing the wildlife.

Mom Lyndsey Delwo recognizes that busy moms are content with just being with their children. “Given the precious gift of time, we would use it to simply be together. Perhaps go on an adventure or try something new. There is nothing more important than the moments we share together.”

Imagine the mothers who would give anything to have second chances at spending time with their children. Rushing out to build a snowman in a May snowstorm, walking along the creek bed appreciating the exuberance of youth discovering nature, laying on the grass and studying the stars, curling up in a tent of blankets and reading a book or sitting in front of the oven and watching a batch of cookies bake.

Time is so precious and time together even more so.

They are at such fun ages and, with the gift of time, all I’d want to do is watch and listen to them talk and interact. It’s so neat to see and hear them interact with the world around them.”

Even when children grow and have children of their own, mothers still appreciate time spent together. It is an investment that pays tenfold.

PRAYER BREAKFAST

ATP offers all-star performances

By Murray Green

About Time Productions will be holding its annual dance and drama spring recital entitled We’re All Stars on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m. in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

This year’s show engulfs its audience through the many trials of growing up. The younger performers will wrestle

with the monsters under the bed, their hopes of growing up to be princes and princesses, their determination to be teachers, firefighters or superheroes, and the strength of their imaginations.

Then, in the second part of the show, AboutTime’s older students start to experience the rocky road of middle school and becoming teens. They begin to battle chores, homework,

stress, anxiety, cyberbullying and show how dreams can change as they grow up.

This show is entertaining for the entire family.

Throughout the year, ATP students work on dance, drama and musical theatre skills to prepare for this spring show.

These young theatre students will be on stage to entertain you with their vast talent.

Check in on mental health Continued from page 14

A psychologist, on the other hand, conducts psycho therapy and will also refer a patient to a psychiatrist should they feel they would benefit from medication. “We work together with physicians to create this wholistic care for clients,” explained Banack.

In describing the differences between psychologists and counsellors Banack said there are certain titles that are regulated. “You can only call yourself a psychologist if you have met the requirements of the provincial regulation body, which protects the public because there are certain minimum educational and training requirements to become a registered psychologist (RPsych) in Alberta.”

A Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) is certified in Canada.

As a registered psychologist, Banack is also governed by a rigorous ethics code that ensures she protects patients confidentiality and records and undergoes continual training to maintain her competence in the field.

Research does show, however, that one of the most important pieces in terms of outcome between the client and therapist, that has to do with therapeutic environment, is the fit between the client and the person they are seeking help from. “There has to be a therapeutic relationship where the work that needs to be done can take place.

It has to be a conducive and safe environment.”

Seek help

There are two things Banack wanted to stress to people wondering when to seek professional assistance regarding their mental health.

“Sometimes when people are struggling using self care, your own support systems is enough to get you through.

“Then there are some cases where that may not be enough. If the problem is really distressing to you and you are spending a lot of time thinking about it and that brings about a lot of stress, you cannot tell someone else or barely acknowledge it yourself; or if is really impairing

your functioning–eating sleeping, getting out of bed working or going to school, it is impacting your functioning or your quality of life, then you should seek professional help.”

In checking in on mental health and recognizing things that can affect a person’s mental well being, Banack said there are generally eight broad categories that contribute to the development of mental health issues which include; genetics, temperament (super feelers), family environment, epigenetics (environmental factors that can turn genes on and off), social and cultural, life stressors, puberty and emotion avoidance.

Management

In conclusion, Banack spoke about mental hygiene strategies–promoting mental health and

preventing mental health issues, in managing mental health.

Practicing gratitude on a daily basis changes your brain. “Think of three things you are grateful for every day.”

Shift from self criticism to self compassion, which can be very difficult. “Be aware of what you are telling yourself.”

Get moving, exercise.

“There are so many benefits of exercise.”

Take a mindful minute or two a day to check in with yourself, then ask yourself ‘What do I need to take care of myself?’

“When you do this for yourself, you are better able to take care of others.”

Finally, Banack said to do something kind for someone else. “Being kind and compassionate to others makes us feel good about ourselves.”

On May 24, from 12:30 until 1:30 p.m. support World Schizophrenia Day during the annual Strides of Hope Walk initiated by the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta (SSA). The walk will begin at the SSA’s Camrose Branch, 206-5015 50 Avenue.

With one in 100 people worldwide living with schizophrenia, building awareness is key in reducing discrimination and stigma around mental illness.

“In Alberta, that translates to over 42,000 individuals,” noted Schizophrenia Society of Alberta executive director Rubyann Rice.

“There are many misconceptions and myths about this treatable brain disorder and 96 per cent of people with schizophrenia report that they have experienced discrimination when seeking employment, housing, at school and from their community.”

Schizophrenia is a treatable brain disorder. Provided with medical treatment, and support from family and peers, recovery for people suffering from schizophrenia is possible. The Strides of Hope walk will take place in seven cities across the province including Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie and Camrose. “At SSA, we are working hard to end discrimination and the stigma associated with mental illness. The main goal of our Annual Strides of Hope walk is to increase awareness and educate our communities about schizophrenia in an effort to create respect and equality for everyone,” said Rice.

Participants for the Strides of Hope walk are encouraged to wear purple and white in an effort to increase awareness and encourage education to reduce stigma on schizophrenia. To register as a team or individual or make a donation visit the website at www.schizophrenia.ab.ca and consider raising pledges to help fund SSA support programs.

SSA is a charitable non-profit organization and supports those living with schizophrenia and their families. The organization offers support and education programs at six branch locations as well as online and indigenous programming to ensure more Albertans have access to programs.

For more information on the schizophrenia society visit the Facebook page at SchizophreniaSocietyofAlberta, join them on twitter or instagram or contact: Rubyann Rice by Email at info@ schizophrenia.ab.ca or by telephone at 403-986-9440.

Violent Risk Threats protocol signed

By Lori Larsen

In the continual effort to ensure schools and communities remain safe places for children to grow and thrive, Battle River School Division developed the Community VTRA (Violence Threat Risk Assessment) Protocol, a response to assessing potential violence, in collaboration with Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS), Alberta Health Services (AHS) Addictions and Mental Health, Ministry of Children’s Services (CS), The Open Door, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Camrose City Police (CPS).

On April 30, representatives from Battle River School Division, Elk Island Catholic Schools, The Open Door, Camrose RCMP, Camrose Police Service, Alberta Mental Health and Child and Family Services were present at the BRSD Board room for the official signing of the protocol.

The VTRA protocol enables every agency to share important information in urgent situations, based on the belief that it is necessary to know this information to have a com-

plete understanding of the level of risk associated with the threat that’s been made.

BRSD coordinator of division and student supports Christie Badry coordinator of the creation and formal signing of the VTRA protocol thanked the partners for their support.

“We are very fortunate in Camrose and Battle River that our partnerships are strong.”

Brenda Herder director of learning inclusion BRSD commented. “We have definitely used the protocol in the past to learn from, grow from and fine tune the work that we do, ultimately, to create better support and community responses to our youth at risk and keep our communities safe and welcoming.”

In speaking of the collaboration between community partners Herder said, “Our collaborative work together has made a huge difference in the lives of our children, families and communities from what we have done in the past and what continue to do together.”

The automotive section of

Hanek purchased a ’32 hot rod for cruising

By Murray Green

Autobody enthusiast Guy Hanek didn’t go hunting for a 1932 Ford, it came to him.

“A customer brought this car to me to paint. We painted it and then we ended up purchasing it from him. He started a job in Brazil and couldn’t take the car with him, so I ended up buying it from him,” explained Guy, on how he acquired the vehicle.

He liked the three window coupe that he painted green and black. The 1934 three and five window twodoor coupes featured virtually the same body lengths and sat on the same frame.

The three-window model featured two door windows and the rear window, for three windows. The threewindow versions were equipped with rear-hinged doors, commonly referred to as suicide doors.

“It is one of my favourite cars. It is a Model B style kit car built with fibreglass.

It came with a frame and everything with it. The car has a small block Chevrolet engine,” shared Guy. “A lot of people want all steel cars, but to me fibreglass is fine. It is a lot lighter and I wanted a driver to run around in.”

Ford produced three cars between 1932 and 1934.

The Model B, the Model 18, and the Model 40. These succeeded the Model A. The Model B had an updated four cylinder and was available from 1932 to 1934.

DEUCE COUPE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster When Guy Hanek was offered a Little Deuce Coupe, a 1932 Ford, he jumped at the opportunity to own the classic. He uses his deuce (called that because the year ended in a two) as a daily driver in the summer months.

Rather than just updating the Model A, Ford launched a completely new vehicle for 1932. Model B was derived with as few technical changes as possible to keep cost low. Other than the engine, and badging on headlamp support bar (later grille) and hub caps, it was virtually indistinguishable from the V-8. Its intention was to be a price leader and it offered more than the popular Mod-

FUN FACTS

The B was discontinued, because buyers disliked four-cylinder models in general and because of the huge success of the V8, not for being an inferior car.

Today, the 1932 Model B, although always a little bit in the shadow of the V8, is a highly collectible car and people will pay thousands of dollars to restore one to original specification, which is ironic, as they were once cheap “throwaway” cars popular with hot rodders who would tear them apart and use them as the basis for a “build”, which is partly why it is so hard to find an unaltered car today.

All 1932 Fords came with black fenders, wire wheels and a rear-mounted spare wheel (side mounted on cars equipped with a tail gate). Options included single or twin sidemounts, luggage rack, clock, interior and exterior mirrors, and choice of leather or Broadcloth (closed cars) interior material.

Deuce coupe is a slang term used to refer to the 1932 Ford coupe and inspired The Beach Boys to not only write a song entitled “Little Deuce Coupe” in 1963, but also had one of their albums named for the car.

el A. In fact, the new and only slightly more expensive V-8 stole the show, and finally made it obsolete. The V8 engine was previously exclusive to Lincoln products, which in 1932 switched to V12 engines only.

The new car got a longer wheelbase and an outward curved, double-dropped chassis. In both models the fuel tank is relocated from the cowl, where its back formed the dash, to the lower rear of the car, as is typical in modern vehicles; thus requiring Ford to include an engine-driven fuel pump, rather than rely on gravity feed. The B had an improved four-cylinder Model A engine of 201 cubic inch (3.29 L) displacement producing 50 horsepower (37 kW; 51 PS).

Although sharing a common platform, Model Bs and Model 18s came not only in standard and deluxe trim, they were available in a large variety of body styles. Some of them, such as the commercial cars, were only available as standards, and a few others came only in deluxe trim. There were two-door

roadster, two-door cabriolet, four-door phaeton, two and four-door sedans, fourdoor woodie station wagon, two-door convertible sedan, panel and sedan deliveries, five-window coupe, a sport coupe (stationary softtop), the three-window deluxe coupe and pickup.

Prices ranged from

US$495 for the roadster, $490 for the coupes and $650 for the convertible sedan. Production totals numbered from 12,597 for the roadster to 124,101 for the two-door sedan. Ford sold 298,647 V8-powered in part because the V8 cost just US$10 more.

Living with Parkinson’s one step at a time

By Lori Larsen

Until a person is thrown amidst the turmoil of living with Parkinson’s disease, one can really never appreciate what we often take for granted. The ability to move about freely or show our joy with a smile or not experiencing a crippling loss of energy from simply baking cookies.

For Camrosian Fern Christensen, the unimaginable became a reality in December of 2017 , when she was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This beautiful, bright woman had another facet to her life that didn’t change the amazing woman she is but did change the way she did things and the way she viewed life.

“I am not Parkinson’s disease,” said Fern. “I was diagnosed with it and live with symptoms but I am far more than the collection of symptoms that have been put into my life.” No truer words spoken.

Fern was born and raised in the Camrose area growing up on a farm outside of Kingman, eventually moving into Camrose to go to high school. “I had a really great childhood of living out on the farm by Kingman.”

She married her husband Paul at a young age and they raised two sons

and are further blessed with two grandchildren.

She completed her nursing education at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

“I worked as a registered nurse in various places around the province for an almost 40 year career,” said Fern obviously proud of her accomplishments.

“When I was working I decided my passion would be teaching so I taught nursing for a number of years in the Baccalaureate program with U of A after I completed my Masters in nursing with University of Southern Queensland in Australia.”

Wanting to return close to aging parents and other family members, Fern and Paul moved back to Camrose 10 years ago, where she worked as the manager of Home Care for seven months, at which point a routine mammogram revealed a lump, specifically breast cancer. “That forced me to think, was my work life balanced?”

In the beginning of that diagnosis, Fern became very upset with herself for not being able to provide care to her senior family members. “After treatments and surgery I went back to work as an educator (for operating rooms) part time.

I travelled a lot in my job

but found it increasingly difficult to find the energy to do what was necessary.

I had a certain standard of what I needed to do in order to do my job well but was struggling to have enough energy and even recall.”

Four years ago Fern decided to retire. “I hadn’t realized how much energy it took for me to just do my daily things around the house it seemed like it took me forever to accomplish something,” she said her voice starting to show some sorrow. “I couldn’t go fast enough. I was getting so much slower with my movements not realizing that this was the Parkinson’s that was slowing me down.”

Concerned about her health Fern visited the doctor a number of times relating various symptoms such as tingling in her feet and numb toes. “My arm on the side I had breast cancer wouldn’t swing when I walked and I lost strength on that side. I thought that related to the breast cancer then worried I had a brain tumor.”

The final straw for Fern came during a family dinner at a restaurant celebrating her grandson’s first birthday in March of 2017.

Struggling with emotion Fern related the story, “I tried to cut my food and I didn’t have enough

strength to hold the utensils in my hand and cut my food and I remember thinking that something was really wrong with me and I wasn’t going to be here for him (her grandson) when he gets older.”

Shortly after Fern developed a tremor in one hand and opposite foot.

“The hardest part for me

was the day my husband and I were at the neurologist. I had no idea I might have Parkinson’s, but after a 45 minute physical exam the doctor informed me I had Parkinson’s disease, handed me a prescription (for Dopamine therapy) and said he’d see me in three months.”

Living with Parkinson’s Continued from page 33

Not unlike anyone who might receive such a devastating diagnosis, Fern was simply overwhelmed.

“I remember thinking at the time, my life is over.

I had known people who had Parkinson’s and they seemed old to me.”

Fern had no idea what to expect, but what she did know was that there was no cure and while the treatment will help symptoms for a period of time, the disease continually progresses to the eventual point where the treatment may not help.

While evaluating how she would move ahead with this diagnosis, Fern was told by a friend about an exercise class offered by the Camrose Primary Care Network, specifically for Parkinson’s sufferers. “I called the PCN and spoke with Connie Harrison, the exercise specialist, and she just listened to me as I told her that I really needed to connect with her to help me move ahead and that I didn’t know what to do.”

In January 2018, a short month after being diagnosed, Fern started the exercise group which she, along with a delightful and high-spirited group of others, attends twice weekly. “It’s been the best thing for me,” she smiled, thinking about the wonderful companionship she experiences with fellow attendees of the class. “I was drawing from their hope and support. It helped me know I could have hope, too; they were still laughing and enjoying life.”

In a dark time in her life when she felt she had no hope, Connie and the participants of the Parkinson’s exercise class were her lifeline. “I felt like I was hanging on for dear life, but I was able to get my head above water.”

She could not say enough good about the wonderful support and work of Camrose PCN, specifically Connie, who Fern said has every one of the participants in her Parkinson’s exercise group leaving with a smile and a renewed sense of wellbeing, both physically and mentally.

Fern’s determined nature and thirst for knowledge has also been a huge asset in this journey. “Throughout my nursing education, I was always a strong woman with a plan,” and having Parkinson’s would prove to be just another challenge for this courageous woman to take on.

“I needed to work on making myself strong again,” she noted. So she likened this new path in her life to that of building a house. The four corners of this plan (house) which she needed to work on included eating the best diet, getting plenty of quality sleep, learning the true meaning of relaxation and practicing it and, finally, getting and staying active.

“Research has shown exercise to be the best treatment for Parkinson’s.”

Fern, herself, makes a point of getting as much exercise as possible, including her exercise classes and dedicated walking.

To relax, Fern reads, works on computer brain exercises and has learned to be comfortable with silence. She carefully selects how she spends her energy and what situations and people provide her with energy as opposed to drawing it away.

Like every structure, the corners require a solid foundation and, for Fern, her foundation was all about her Christian faith.

“God is there and I really believe He will help me

through whatever is in my future.”

Through gentle tears, she also spoke of the gratitude she has for the support that surrounds her.

“I feel so grateful I have a wonderful husband, family and home and a community that cares. It’s all that I need right now.”

Fern spends a great deal of time researching, reading and learning more about Parkinson’s disease and is grateful for the generous donations that assist in discovering more about how to manage the disease.

“One of my biggest hopes is that more research will be done into the links between certain areas and the incidence of diseases, such as Parkinson’s. My sister was diagnosed with Parkinson’s the same time I was,” she noted. Her concern is that there may be a link to contamination in the soil or water, possibly from uncapped wells or the use of pesticides, to the epidemic rates of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and what it does to the quality of life.

“As a group, it is important to help to understand and find answers and cures.”

On a final note and with a warm smile, Fern said one of the positives that has come out of living with Parkinson’s is she has learned to let go of control.

“It is so freeing to let the control go and let those around us help. No matter what, things will happen and things will line up.

“It is just really sweet that I have finally learned that I can crawl under the table with my grandson or play trucks down the hallway.”

Perhaps the lesson for us all is that time is not something we can bank; we should spend every single minute of it.

Royal birthdays

Morley Edward Riske July 12, 1935 ~ February 25, 2019 Morley was born on July 12, 1935, at Lamont Hospital, the only child of Edward and Lydia Riske. Morley grew up on the family farm near Bruderheim.

He received his early education at Walker School from grades one through eleven, and took grade twelve at Lamont. Morley was baptized and completed his confirmation in the Bruderheim Moravian Church. When Morley was a teenager, his parents moved into Bruderheim due to poor health.

On March 13, 1959, Morley married Mary-Duane Gottschlich at the Moravian Church in Edmonton where they were active members for many years. They were blessed with two children: Marilyn (1960) and Graham (1965).

Morley continued his education, completing a B.Sc., M.Sc. and B.Ed. at the University of Alberta and a Ph.D. at the University of Calgary. Morley was a professor of biology at Augustana from 1959 to 1992. He rose to the rank of full professor in 1984 and retired as professor emeritus in 1992, an honour which came in recognition of his exemplary service to the university. Morley was one of the first to receive the Betty Ostenrud award for extraordinary care and service.

Morley contributed in many ways to his community. For several weeks in the spring, he took elementary students on field trips to study pond life. He was often invited to present slide shows to Cubs, Scouts, Elderhostel and others to share his knowledge of the natural world. He guided many nature walks to observe birds.

After retiring, Morley took up music. He sang in choirs throughout his life. Singing or playing sweet harmony was his gift. When he retired, he taught himself to play the saxophone, collected many, and enjoyed entertaining seniors. He played in several bands: community band, big band and other small ensembles. Music became his next career. He continued to play for seniors as long as he was able.

Morley passed away peacefully on Monday, February 25, 2019 in St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose, with his beloved wife Duane at his side.

Morley is survived by his wife, Duane, of almost sixty years; son Graham (Amy); daughter Marilyn Fehr; six grandchildren Daniel, Andrew, Michael and Matthew Fehr and Emma and Gwen Riske.

Morley is also survived by Duane’s three brothers Irvin, Murray (Pat) and Lee (Crystal); cousin Durwill; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 11, 2019 from the Faith and Life Centre, University of Alberta Augustana Campus with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Duane and Morley Riske Legacy Fund c/o Battle River Community Foundation.

Roberta “Bobbi” Pettett

In loving memory of our Buddy

“Happy Harry” Harold Wesley April 13, 1958 ~ May 2, 2016 Remember him with a smile today, He was not one for tears, Reflect instead on memories Of all the happy years.

Recall to mind the way he spoke, And all the things he said, His strength, his stance, the way he walked, Remember these instead.

The good advice he’d give us.

His eyes that shone with laughter, So much of him will never die But will live on ever after.

As we loved you, so we miss you, In our memory, you are near, Loved, remembered, longed for always Bringing many a silent tear.

– John Danilak and Joanna Ritchot

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.

Canadians want to know that the food is safe

By Murray Green

New Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) ushered in a new era of food safety for Canadians.

The regulations are consistent with international standards and make Canada’s food safety system even stronger by

focusing on prevention and allowing for faster removal of unsafe food from the marketplace.

These new rules also mean greater market access opportunities for Canadian food products exported abroad. In addition, they will reduce the unnecessary administra-

tive burden placed on businesses by replacing 14 sets of regulations with one.

“By emphasizing prevention and faster removal of unsafe foods from the marketplace, the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations will build on Canada’s world-class food safety system and go even fur-

Central Agencies Home of the Week

A place to call your own

By Lori Larsen

Home ownership is easy with this affordable bungalow that offers four bedrooms and a large backyard, all located close to schools and recreation areas.

There is plenty of space in which to spread out. Recent updates, such as flooring, trim, high efficiency furnace and vinyl windows on the main floor, pave the way for adding your personal touches.

Vaulted ceilings and exposed beams give the home a bright, trendy feel and the partially open concept makes it easy to carry on conversation or entertain.

The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space and counter room for food preparation and opens up into a good-sized dining area adjacent to the living room.

Three bedrooms on the main floor means private spaces for family members, room for roommates to assist with costs or a dedicated home office or workout room.

Matthew Mayer The main floor four-piece bathroom has been updated and is bright and refreshing.

The basement features two separate recreation areas where you can hang out with friends or family, another bedroom and a one-piece bathroom that could easily be finished to a threepiece.

Outside a large fenced backyard gives you privacy to enjoy the great outdoors in your own space and a large shed offers plenty of storage space.

Your carport will keep your vehicle protected, while back alley access allows for RV parking.

Enjoy your independence with your own home located at 48 Mount Pleasant Drive, priced at an easy-to-manage $229,900. Join Matthew Mayer at an open house on Thursday, May 9 from 3 until 5 p.m. or Saturday, May 11 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. or, for a personal viewing, call: Central Agencies Realty 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 Cell phone 780-781-7088

ther to protect Canadians,” said Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Canadian Minister of Health.

Under the SFCR, food businesses that import or prepare food for export or to be sent across provincial or territorial boundaries must have a licence.

Businesses are also required to have preventive controls that outline steps to address potential risks to food safety, and to trace their food back to their supplier and forward to businesses who bought their products.

“The Safe Food for Canadians Regulations are consistent with inter-

national food safety standards, and position Canadian food businesses to be more innovative and competitive, both at home and abroad. They represent a vital step towards achieving our government’s trade target of growing agriculture and food exports to $75 billion by 2025,” said Lawrence MacAulay, Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

While some requirements enter into force immediately, others will be phased in over the following 12 to 30 months, depending on the food commodity, type of activity and business size.
