Planning a busy fall? Sleep more!
You know how sometimes the same topic shows up from different sources within a few days? This week I’ve been invited to “sleep” webinars, had sleep articles show up in my inbox, had a friend tell me “sleep” stories and encountered news items about a good night’s sleep. Okay, maybe I have something to learn about sleep. *** That’s a surprise. In earlier decades within my family, I could fall asleep anywhere, anytime–and frequently did. It was embarrassing. During movies, I’d fall asleep until the person beside me elbowed me when I began to snore. At concerts I never stayed awake past the first few bars of music. During conversations with people I really liked and found interesting, I’d nod off while they were talking. Once during a Scrabble game I fell asleep–and it was my turn! I didn’t have trouble sleeping. I had trouble staying awake. What was blindingly obvious to all but me was that I was tired. In the busy years of child and career demands and juggling never-ending competing responsibilities, I just plain didn’t get enough sleep. I’m grateful to be at a life stage where getting enough sleep is easy. So–in case you’re gearing up for a busy fall and thinking maybe you’ll stay up later or get up earlier to pack more into your busy days, here are some things I’ve heard from sleep experts in the past few days. 1. Peak performers sleep more. K. Anders Ericsson has studied peak performance, possibly more than any other researcher on the planet. He’s delved into the one per cent of top performers in dozens of fields. One of his surprising findings is that the best of the best tend to sleep more than most people–an average of about eight and a half hours every 24-hour day. 2. Sleep–or sleep deprivation–affects every aspect of our lives. During sleep, every one of our organ systems is being replenished and restored–breathing, digestion, muscles, bones, nerves…all our physical functions. Sleep is when we heal. Not enough sleep slows our physical reaction times by 30 per cent. A scary thing I’d never heard before: cancer cells reproduce faster when we are sleep deprived. The benefits of sleep are not just physical. Less than enough sleep makes us more irritable. We make poorer decisions and are more likely to take dangerous risks. Adequate sleep helps us feel happier and think more clearly. 3. Sleep is the third pillar of wellness. We know about diet and exercise as two aspects of staying healthy. Getting enough sleep is the third pillar. 4. We each have unique sleep needs and sleep patterns. You’ve heard of night owls and early birds. It’s not our imagination. Dr. Michael Breus, sleep researcher and author of three best-selling books about sleep, says our patterns of sleeping late or early are pretty much set at birth. He uses animal names to describe four patterns: Bears rise and fall with the sun. They usually need about eight hours of sleep. Breus says this group includes the majority of people. Wolves are night people. They have lots of energy in the evening and night, but find it hard to wake up in the morning. Lions wake early and are extremely productive, especially earlier in the day. They’re often exhausted by early evening. Dolphins are light sleepers and may need to be vigilant about sleep routines to ensure they get enough sleep. 5. Five suggestions for improving sleep, suggested by Dr. Breus: have the same bedtime and wake-up time every day–even on weekends, no caffeine after 2 p.m., no alcohol for three hours before bedtime, stop vigorous exercise four hours before bedtime, get at least 15 minutes of sunlight (or at least be outside) every day. *** I’d love to hear from you! Send a note about this column or suggestions for future columns to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com and I’ll happily reply within one business day.

In the past year, I have seen more and more people driving while being distracted. I was even told by one person that a class four exempted that person from the distractive law all together. I decided to do some research to find out exactly what the real truth is. I found out from the government’s website on distractive driving that the law applies to all vehicles as defined under the traffic safety act, to all roads here in Alberta. The law restricts all drivers from doing any of the following: using any handheld cell phones except when phoning emergency services such as 9-1-1; texting or emailing; using electronic devices such as laptops, video games, cameras, video entertainment displays and programming audio players such as MP3 players; entering information on GPS units; reading printed materials; writing or printing or sketching and personal grooming. You can be charged with distractive driving even if your driving performance appears not to be affected. Police can also charge you with this offense if you permit anything to occupy the front seat of your vehicle that interferes with your access to the vehicle controls and the safe operation of the vehicle and if anything obstructs your clear vision in any direction.
The penalty for distractive driving is $287 and three demerit points. There are a few exceptions which are using a hands-free phone, using a car phone, drinking nonalcoholic beverages, eating a snack, smoking, talking to passengers, listening to a portable audio player which was set up before the vehicle was moved, calling 9-1-1 with a handheld phone, using a two-way radio or handheld radio, GPS systems, collision avoidance system, gauges in the vehicle, dispatch systems for transporting passengers which does not include a handheld device, logistical transportation, tracking system and an alcohol ignition interlock device. Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose Miquelon Lake
Miquelon Lake is the essence of the United Nations Beaver Hills Biosphere, for need or greed this lake was drained down by sixteen feet dealing a severe blow to its entire watersheds existence. The University of Alberta’s Alberta Lakes website, read all the Miquelon Lakes, Oliver, Joseph, Ministik, Cooking, Hastings and Beverhill, were proclaimed a bird sanctuary in 1915, so why was Calgary Power allowed to dig a 16 foot drainage diversion ditch in the watershed divide rim of a finite glacial melt lake? (Edo Nyland, This Dying Watershed and the official
HEART TO HEART
Park logs) Alberta Environment records show this south draining ditch to the Lyseng Reservoir remained open for 18 years and discharged 48 per cent of the lake’s water. A park sign read “because of high evaporation and low precipitation, the lake level is down 17 feet,” it went on to say the lake is vanishing, turning into land, that sign has been removed. It appears the Alberta government’s intention is to stagnate this now United Nations Wold Heritage Biosphere’s watershed, their six volume thirteen pounds of information in the 1977 Cooking Lake Area Study to consider importing water to the lakes, failed to disclose the fact that watershed headwaters had suffered this ecoscatastrophe. Unless Alberta Environment and Parks intends to kill this unique organism, they must start an honest conversation, address the situation with all the pertinent information. Because this is a glacial melt water lake it has no way of regeneration feed water must be returned to this lake’s basin. For over a century water has been drained away from the area via Hay Lakes drainage district, it and the water from the Lyseng Reservoir could be pumped back into Miquelon starting its revitalization process.

Justin Trudeau has no problem extending apologies for a multitude of sins that were committed well before his time as Prime Minister. Sorry, however, seems to be the hardest word for him to say when it comes to his own offences or that of his office. The Ethics Commissioner’s recent report into the corruption scandal that has rocked the Liberal government for months revealed that what took place between Justin Trudeau, SNC-Lavalin and the former Attorney General of Canada was far worse than anyone originally thought. Despite this finding; despite Trudeau’s election promise in 2015 to be ethical and accountable; and despite his initial assertion that the original story about this sordid affair was false, the Prime Minister refuses to say sorry. In the wake of the Ethics Commissioner’s findings, Trudeau finally did accept responsibility for his office’s interference in the criminal prosecution of SNC-Lavalin but that acceptance did not come with an apology. This has led many Canadians to question how they can support a Prime Minister who has so seemingly deceived them and broken the law. In his report, the Ethics Commissioner stated “The Prime Minister, directly and through his senior officials, used various means to exert influence over Ms. Wilson-Raybould. The authority of the Prime Minister and his office was to circumvent, undermine and ultimately attempt to discredit the decision of the Director of Public Prosecutions as well as the authority of Ms. Wilson-Raybould as the Crown’s chief law officer.” As Conservative Leader, Andrew Scheer, wrote to the RCMP on Aug. 19, “On a plain reading of the language used by the Commissioner, Trudeau’s actions would fall within the contours of “obstructing, perverting or defeating the course of justice.” This is, as Scheer has now pointed out on two occasions to the RCMP, contrary to section 139 of the Criminal Code and thereby, warrants further investigation. As our Conservative Leader also pointed out in his August letter, these actions “paint a disturbing picture of a Prime Minister who uses the power of his office to decide who gets prosecuted and who does not, based solely on his own partisan interests. The implications of this–on everything from the integrity of Canada’s highest political office, to the independence of our judicial system, to the very rule of law– cannot be overstated. The powerful and politically connected absolutely cannot be above the law.” As a former Official Opposition Critic for Public Safety and Deputy Critic for Justice, I am extremely concerned about the perception, let alone the reality, of any government being able to abuse their power in such a way that they circumvent the law. As a newly elected Member of Parliament in the early 2000s, I wrote extensively about the politicization of the RCMP after witnessing a few incidents where there was good reason to believe former Prime Minister Jean Chretien and his office had directed the RCMP. In particular, evidence strongly suggested it was the PMO that instructed the RCMP to inform Swiss authorities of suspected wrongdoing with respect to the purchase of Airbus aeroplanes. Also during an APEC summit in Ottawa where protestors were pepper sprayed, many again believed it was the PMO instructing the RCMP. I want to leave you with this one question and I want to do so with the reminder of what drove the Liberals out of power in 2006–Adscamif a government is able and willing to interfere in the criminal prosecution of a politically aligned company, what would they do when they themselves may be the subject of any criminal or unethical wrongdoing?

Walking in support of Parkinson disease By Lori Larsen Join in the effort to bring about awareness and raise money to fund research and programs at the annual Flexxaire Parkinson Step ‘n Stride walk to be held on Sept. 8 at Jubilee Park, registration at 1 p.m. with the walk beginning at 2 p.m. This year’s theme is Stepping Up to Make a Difference in Parkinson disease. The moneys raised at events such as these is vital in providing the programs and furthering research that not only assist those living with the disease, but those caring for them. Over 100,000 people are living with Parkinson’s disease in Canada and it affects one in every 500 people in Canada. We tend to take for granted the ability to move freely, run, walk, step up reach out and more often than not, live in a false sense of thinking that it will never happen to us. But Parkinson disease knows no boundaries and plays no favourites it can and does strike anyone, often with very little indication. Parkinson is much more than the visible tremors associated with the disease. It can be accompanied by anxiety, depression, apathy, cognitive issues and sleep disturbances. Parkinson Association of Alberta actively promotes the ability to move and live well with a chronic disease. From no cost support services and educational opportunities, to exercise and vocal programs, to the funds contributed to research; Parkinson Association of Alberta is available every day ensuring a better today and a brighter tomorrow for Alberta’s Parkinson community.

Community Registration Night For many people, regardless of age, summer is often a time of rest, relaxation, visits with family, and fun in the sun. Schools close for a few months, and formal programming takes a break. By the end of August, however, most of us are ready to re-incorporate a bit more structure into our days and weeks. Kids are ready to go back to school, parents are ready to get back into work without the interruption of summer holidays, and older adults are ready to “sign up for something, again.” The question is: “what to sign up for?” In fact, there is a lot to do in Camrose, and one way to find out about many of the activities that will be starting up again this fall is to drop by Camrose’s 13th Annual Community Registration Night on Thursday, Sept. 5, between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Camrose Field House (4516–54 Street). Community Registration Night is a one-stop opportunity to sign up for sports, arts, recreation, learning and volunteer opportunities for the whole family. It is co-sponsored by the Camrose and Area Adult
Learning Council, Camrose and District Support Services, Camrose Regional Exhibition and the City of Camrose. There is something for everyone at Community Registration Night. Although some of the activities on offer will probably appeal more to children and youth, others will definitely appeal to older folks. Camrose Toastmasters will have a display, as will the Alberta Genealogical Society (Camrose Branch), Camrose Astronomy Club, Camrose Public Library, and the Swans and Roses Lions Club. Churchmice Players, the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre and the Bailey Theatre Society will be looking for volunteers. The Camrose Camera Club will appeal to shutter-bugs, while the Camrose and District Horticulture Society will appeal to people sporting green thumbs under their gardening gloves. Admittedly, a few organizations won’t be part of Community Registration Night this year. That doesn’t mean they aren’t also getting ready for a busy program season. Older folks
interested in joining one or two of the clubs housed with the Camrose Seniors Centre Society at the Mirror Lake Centre can check out options directly via http:// camroseseniorcentre.com/. It might also be worthwhile to spend some time exploring the CDSS Directory of Clubs and Organizations: http:// camrosefcss.ca/resources/ clubs-and-organizations/. Altogether, there will be about 50 displays to visit at Community Registration Night on Sept. 5. Finding out what’s on offer isn’t the only reason to drop by, however. Generally about a thousand people visit Community Registration Night each year, and the evening is also a whirlwind of catching up as people reconnect with folks after the summer break. It is a fine time altogether, and a good way to spend an hour or so on a Thursday evening in September–see you there! For further information about Camrose Seniors Coalition, call Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) at 780-672-0141, and ask for Maria or Margaret H. Or, drop by our CDSS display at Community Registration Night.

Bailey Theatre receives video funding By Murray Green
Camrose storyteller, and a vibrant Bailey Theatre promoter, David Roth was selected to receive $50,000 in production funding from the Telus Storyhive’s Documentary Edition. “This is about two things. The first is the story about the Bailey Theatre and the other is this really neat creative team of Story Brokers Media House out of Bashaw,” explained David. “I want to make this perfectly clear, it is not just myself. We have a team. The creative and talented team of Ben Wilson and Sarah Wray will be doing the filming and editing. They are truly excited about telling the story of the Bailey Theatre,” added David. “Ben will be editing, filming and will be doing the lighting. Sarah will be directing, writing and helping with social media.” The funding will help him produce his documentary Marquee Rising, which is a historical documentary that tells the story and life of the oldest surviving vaudeville theatre in Western Canada. “The Bailey has been wanting to produce a video for quite some time. We started with a proposal to make a video and we were just getting ready to do that when the Storyhive idea showed up. We set it aside and prepared a proposal to receive funding for the project and we were successful.” Storyhive offered a $50,000 grant to organizations in BC and Alberta to assist groups with art, productions and promotions. “The shortest the video could be was 15 minutes and the longest 50. Ours will be 25 minutes because we wanted it to fit into a half hour format. We want to show it before movies or when we have functions at the Bailey Theatre,” added David, who has watched the Bailey survive for the last nine years. “We already had the story of the Bailey because I wrote a three minute history timeline with a voice over (Doug Paulson). I didn’t want to bring in a whole new production team, I wanted to go with local people.” His (David is the lead contact because of his experience in creating a television show in the past) project was one of 30 selected from 382 applications to Telus Storyhive’s Documentary Edition, which awards $50,000 to storytellers making documentaries that shine a light on local people, places, cultures and history. “We had to make a one minute pitch video to qualify in the first place. That’s where we worked with Sarah and Ben to start with,” shared David. “We wanted to go back to Camille

David and his idea of starting a theatre. He wanted one because of isolation and separation. People came out here, settled the prairies, but didn’t get together very often. They had memories of coming from places that had theatre. Artists were passing through Camrose because there was nothing to stop for. We had three railways going through. When the theatre was built there was a reason to stop. He also had a hotel and a liquor store, so it all worked together,” David laughed. The theatre often brought the community together. “The Bailey served as a cultural epicentre in the community for over a century, from dances and silent films during the prohibition, to stand up comedy, rock concerts and film festivals in recent years. With each remodelling of the building, new layers of architecture and design were plastered over the poster-covered walls, entombing a cross section of local history within the very floors and walls of the building. The story of the Bailey is the story of the Alberta prairies itself,”
said David. “This film will chronicle the life of the Bailey, through its rise, fall and restoration, as a lens on the role of the arts in life on the Alberta prairie.” Marquee Rising shares the journey of the Bailey Theatre through a number of changes throughout the years. “When Stan Bailey took over the theatre, he added doctors to the list of movie-goers. He had doctors’ offices downstairs and had the drug store upstairs. Theatres themselves don’t make money, so the higher traffic helped them. Stan was a rancher and he did several things to keep this place going. He ended up being the longest proprietor of a movie house in the Dominion of Canada from 1919 to 1963. The family kept it going for another 10 years and then sold it.” With each renovation, new layers and designs cover the local history set in the floors and walls that have stories to be told. “I remember the marque being old and dilapidated and was shut down. Then the theatre, without a proper lighting system, was

no longer a stop for theatre. This is the last of the old vaudeville theatres. Vaudeville ended as the movies gained popularity,” recalled David. “We have so much history to capture on video. This is about education and history. Instead of tours, we can show the video.” Since 2014, Storyhive has provided a safe space for content creators and screen-based storytellers to hone their skills, take risks and bring the projects they care about to life. David was the lead architect for the Bailey’s renovation. He is also a long-standing volunteer at the theatre. Storyhive is dedicated to creating and amplifying local stories and voices. The stories may be featured on Telus TV on demand through the Community Showcase program. Each of the projects is teamed with a leader in their field to assist communities complete the video.
People voted on which videos they liked and a jury also selected which projects would receive funding. The project has to be completed by March 30 next spring. The final deadline will be the end of June. Local director
Ironically, Chad Rook from Camrose will be assisting one of the 30 projects. He is a professional actor/ director who has starred in hit television series such as The Flash, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Timeless, War for the Planet of the Apes and is currently starring in the hit Mermaid Series, Siren. His directing highlights include Fineline, The Perfect Pickup and is currently working on his next feature film The Asylum and a comedy series, Never Have I Ever, which he also co-wrote and is also starring in.

Comedians support Open Door By Lori Larsen
Coming to Camrose on Sept. 2 to the Hotel Camrose Resort and Casino The Human Condition Comedy Tour is an innovative event that, true to the nature of its name, are all about raising the spirits of humans all the while raising money and awareness on charities serving human conditions. Comprised of three comedians, Scott Porteous (lead organizer), Frank Russo and Shawn Gramiak the tour will be traveling all across Western Canada bringing laughs to the audience while supporting an array of local charities and causes with the support of their sponsors, family, friends and fan bases. The show in Camrose will be splitting admission moneys with the Camrose Open Door Society. “We wanted to put on a tour that represents human connection among others,” remarked Porteous. “Regardless of our differences it’s always beautiful to find a common cause that brings everyone together.” Porteous is a Comedian
based out of Winnipeg and is primarily responsible for planning this Comedy Tour for September 2019 alongside two other accomplished comedians. Some of the other notfor-profit beneficiaries of the event include The Battleford Food and Resource Centre, Hospitals Foundation of Regina, Little Star Playhouse, Safe Drinking Water Foundation, Airdrie Food Banks, People In Motion and Greater Victoria Animal Crusaders and many more. “We love doing comedy and we love to travel. We are honestly just being selfish in the most selfless way possible” says Porteous. Each comic has such a different contrast of style and delivery to offer to the tour which really provides something for everyone. Between Shawn Gramiak, an older veteran of the game with his ability to draw you in with storytell-
ing and to dissect jokes with the precision of a surgeon, or Frank Russo’s ability to take the mundane and drag it into the absurd. Tying it all together is Porteous’ incredibly awkward and hilarious self-deprecating demeanor; Porteous sprinkles his surreal stories with one-liners,mixing them all in like a slightly thinner comedic whisk. Follow the comedy team on Facebook at www. facebook.com/THCCOMEDYTOUR/ or instagram at www.instagram.com/ thcComedyTour/. The Camrose Open Door is a regional non-profit organization that offers support services and hope to youth in need between the ages of 11 and 24 by providing effective support services and a safe place for youth in need to grow and transition into successful adulthood, becoming contributing members of society.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. 2. 3. 4.
To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water colour. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. This year’s UDF program began July 25, 2019, starting with Zone A (in Area 2) and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discolouration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If a discolouration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Emily Baum at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428.

BRCF assists with music programs The Battle River Community Foundation recently awarded a grant to assist music programs at École Camrose Composite High School and École Charlie Killam School. The grant is from income from the Joyce Lohner Memorial Fund, established in recognition of Mrs. Lohner’s appreciation of the value of music as part of a wellrounded education. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support programs such as those operated by the ÉCCHS and ÉCKS 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 $6,468,000 to support community facilities and programs operated by organizations like the Battle River School Division.

Join a pool league By Murray Green
The Camrose VNEA Pool League has three different leagues for members to join for fun and friendship. Beginning the week of Sept. 15, the Mixed and Vegas leagues start play. The Scotch Doubles fun league will be formed for a variety of pool players and begins on the week of Sept. 26. Games are played at venues around the city that have pool tables and they may vary in each league. “It is a good social sport that pretty much anyone can play. You get better the more you play, so people feel comfortable in a short time period. It’s about having fun and it has a big social aspect to the sport.” Last year, the leagues had about 75 players participating. “The first league is the Camrose Mixed League. They play Monday or Tuesday nights depending on the schedule. Last year, we had 10 teams with anywhere from five to 10 players on each team. Each team has five players each match and at least one has to be a female player shooting. Each match (or evening) is five rounds. Essentially, you play each player on the opposition’s team once,” said Brett Browne, communications director for the leagues. “In the first two weeks of league play, we form a handicap system based on your average. They can change week to week. The handicap system evens the playing field to help out the less-skilled players,” explained Brett. In pool, you receive a point for each ball that you sink as a team and three points for a win. Continued on page 19

You can earn up to 10 points a game and 50 points in a match, in Mixed League. In Vegas League, there are four players per team and you play each member of the opposition team twice, so there are 80 possible points for each match. “The Vegas League is more competitive. Ladies still play, but you don’t have to have a female on your team. The first place team receives some financial support from the league to attend the VNEA championship in Las Vegas. If the top team can’t go, then the second place team is offered the opportunity. Usually, at least one goes every year. We have a year-end tournament and the winning team is also supported to attend the championship,” he said. “That league goes Wednesday and Thursdays and you play a double round each scheduled round. We had nine teams last year. Games begin at 7 p.m. and go until the rounds are finished.” Don’t let the competitive nature of the Vegas league stop you from trying the sport. “The Scotch Doubles League is a good place for newcomers to enter. Each team has two players that alternate shooting. No scores are kept, but each match is made up of the first team to win four games and we had 10 teams last year,” explained Brett. The Mixed and Vegas Leagues both have a yearend tournament for all of the teams. The Scotch Doubles League has a social event to wrap things up in the spring.
Meet our
Instructors! Abigail Milgate
Abigail Milgate is the violin instructor at Martha’s Music and is excited to begin another year of teaching. She taught at Martha’s Music last year and enjoyed herself immensely. Originally from Lacombe, Abigail moved to Camrose with her husband to continue studies at Augustana. She is taking a Bachelor’s in Music, entering her 3rd year. She started her musical journey with piano lessons and RCM theory at the age of 6. At 8 years old, she fell in love with the violin. She started lessons with a student from the local college in Lacombe, accomplishing the Grade 3 Piano RCM exam, Advanced Rudiments Theory RCM exam, and her Grade 8 RCM exam. When Abigail was 12, she joined the local youth group Rosedale Valley Strings Orchestra. After graduating High School, she took a year off to travel and study at a Bible School. She finished one year at Red Deer College studying Music and joined the Burman University Orchestra. The next year she moved to Camrose to continue her studies of music at Augustana. “I love teaching the violin and am excited to continue teaching this year.”
Chade Biggs
Chade Biggs was born in Janetville, ON. He first picked up the guitar at the age of 13, studying Guitar Heroes and masters of the art form. At the age of 18, he followed his family to Camrose, AB and took a job at Suncor until he saved up enough money to buy a PA system and truck. After writing and recording his first six-song EP at Heartland Studio in Camrose, he assembled his first band and toured extensively throughout Canada and the United States. In 2002, Chade packed up his truck and headed to Nashville, TN to pursue his dream of becoming a professional songwriter. After six years of hard work and determination, he signed his first artist/publishing deal with EMI Records. Chade has written songs with Canada’s own Randy Bachman, Gavin Brown, Aaron Lines, along with many other amazing talents from around the world. Chade has also studied guitar and vocals under some of Nashville’s best teachers. Currently Chade is producing his fourth album, and is having his songs purchased in 38 countries thanks to iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music. With over two decades of being in the music industry, he is happy to be back in Camrose with his family, sharing his knowledge and talents with the students at Martha’s Music. He says, “Camrose is filled with so much talent. I am very excited to be a part of this community.”
Katelyn Harte
Katelyn Harte has over 10 years of experience teaching piano and is looking forward to her fifth year of teaching at Martha’s Music. She says, “Seeing young students become more confident and creative at each lesson brings me joy!” In 2013, she completed her Bachelor of Arts degree, with a Major in Music, from the U of A Augustana Campus. That same year, she married her high school sweetheart. Katelyn has volunteered as a pianist with Alberta Health Services vocal strengthening group for persons with Parkinson’s Disease, and has accompanied the Gold Tones Senior Choir. Katelyn hosts optional recitals at seniors’ centres around Camrose for her students to share their favourite repertoire and bring a smile to others. She is now accepting new students, offering individual piano lessons for all ages. RCM practical and theory lessons are also available.
Dorothy Chomlack
Dorothy Chomlack grew up in a musical family, entertaining by the age of three, and began teaching in 1972. She played numerous instruments with her three sisters and father in their family band, “The Rocky Mountain Bluebirds”, with popular Swing Music and Big Band hits, for weddings and dances. She takes great joy in teaching, and it shows through hundreds of students throughout the years. Dorothy says of teaching, “I love this job so much, I am always planning for my students, every day. The parents and students are my favourite part of teaching.”

Steven Hartman teaches drums, bass, ukulele and guitar. Before Steven began studying music, he was an artist and actor. He enjoyed performing and memorizing scripts. In his grade school years, he played saxophone and sang in many school and church choirs. He participated in the Alberta Honour Choir and almost every musical group he could throughout high school. In grades 11 and 12 he started drumming and experimenting with guitar. After high school Steven entered into a Bachelor of Music program at Augustana University College in Performance - Voice. During his time in the program he started learning bass by joining a jazz combo requiring a bass player. He has taught private music lessons since 2003. Currently, Steven is an avid bass player, drummer, and guitarist. He plays electric and double (upright) bass with the Battle River Big Band and drums with a local jazz quartet The Steven Hartman Quartet.

Dr. Tryphonopoulos brings with him a 30-year academic career at institutions in Ontario, New Brunswick and Manitoba, most recently the dean of the Faculty of Arts and professor of English and Creative Writing at Brandon University (BU) and, before that, as assistant, associate and acting dean of graduate studies at the University of New Brunswick. His four-and-a-half years at BU helped him develop an understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by a small, rural campus. “The two communities have similarities,” noted Demetres. “Brandon, the city itself, is larger than Camrose but it has the same kind of economy base and is similar in terms of landscape as well. It is Prairie land, all flat—the way it is also here in Camrose.” Under his direction as the dean of Arts at BU, in the Institute of Rural Development and the Department of Rural Development (a small department within the Faculty of Arts), Demetres worked on various projects that involved the community, specifically projects involving indigenous populations. “There is a lot of good work happening at BU, including that involving indigenous students and communities,” he said, adding that Manitoba’s indigenous population is approximately 16 per cent. “In fact, the university (BU) has an indigenous population of about 16 per cent in all kinds of different disciplines, but most importantly, in my mind, in disciplines like nursing. The goal is to try to train nurses, teachers and others in various humanities and science fields who will go on to work in their own communities, especially in Northern Manitoba.” He went on to explain that Augustana’s indigenous population is approximately six per cent, also the provincial average. “I am looking for opportunities to work with the indigenous population. I know there are people (at Augustana) who are already doing that, and I hope to continue to support that work.” Educational philosophy
His belief in higher education has served him, and the institutes he has worked with, well. Born and raised in Greece, Demetres immigrated to Canada with his parents and three brothers in the early ‘70s. “My parents, especially my mother, wanted her four sons to attend university and that would have been nearly impossible in Greece in the 1970s. It was too expensive. “Not going to university was never an option for myself or my brothers (of which Demetres is the eldest),” he smiled. He began his university education in the sciences but soon learned that his true calling was the study of English literature. He went
on to complete a PhD in English from Western University in London, Ont. He admitted that University study may not be the right choice for every person. “After all, many people who attend vocational schools have successful and satisfying lives and they contribute in important ways to the economy and their communities. Nonetheless, a university education offers its own unique benefits. “One of the things that the best universities do, and I believe Augustana is right up there, is that they provide students with the opportunity to develop their own individual aptitudes and capacities and ways of thinking and solving real-world problems.” He commented. “There may be a misconception out there that you need to be in engineering or medicine in order to be considered successful; however, it seems to me that the humanities and sciences also produce individuals who are able to think deeply and carefully, to follow their own paths, to benefit their society in important ways, and to lead fruitful, interesting, satisfying lives. That is why I value university education—and in this case, a liberal arts and sciences education.”

Connecting communities
During some of his first visits to Camrose throughout the application process for the position of dean and after coming to Camrose full time, Demetres quickly gained an appreciation for the vital and successful connectivity and partnerships between the community of Camrose and the community of Augustana. “This (Camrose) is a community of about 19,000 people and we (Augustana) have just over 1,000 students, and 370 faculty and staff that work on campus. “It is clear in my mind that the economical, intellectual and cultural impact the university has on the community is incredible; but you can not have that without a community that is engaged.” He used the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre as an example to support his observation regarding the mutual understanding between Augustana and the community. “For anything to be achieved there has to be synergy and cooperation. There has to be understanding.” He commended the community leaders and donors he has met to this point on the value they place on University of Alberta, specifically
Augustana. “They feel Camrose would not be what it is without the university and I think that’s true the other way around as well.” On the advice of his predecessors, dean Allen Berger and dean Roger Epp, Demetres understands the importance of being seen out and involved in the community and that doing so enhances the support given by the community. “I have seen it every day in the short time that I have been here, the community is incredibly supportive.” Realizing fundraising is a vital part of advancing and sustaining any post-secondary institution, Demetres voiced his appreciation for the work of Augustana’s assistant dean, Advancement Debbie McIntosh in introducing him throughout the community and helping him establish some relationships as dean. What lies ahead
With the campus once again abuzz with students filling the halls and classrooms, Demetres looks forward to the challenges of his new position, a new year and a new government. “Higher education undergoes cycles,” he commented with reference to the notion of uncertain times. “This is a big, well resourced university, and I am thinking of Augustana as part of the University of Alberta. It will survive and prosper and also change and transform itself the way it has done for more than one hundred years.” He added that survival will include finding new ways and efficiencies of doing things. “It’s going to be challenging; but I believe that challenges are also opportunities. We have an opportunity to transform Augustana into a more efficient and more imaginative place. It has had tremendous leadership over the years; but there is still room for improvement and for finding new ways of doing things. “The job of senior administration at Augustana and North Campus is to try to convince the new government that vocational education does not represent the only solution. Investing in Universities is important and should be continued and enhanced since universities must continue to educate the kinds of people who become productive citizens and taxpayers but also those who have a lot to do with the worldwide reputation of the University of Alberta and the province of Alberta itself as a vibrant, welcoming, progressive place of opportunity— the place to be at.” He indicated that in his travels in Europe he has met many people who knew about the kinds of things happening at the University of Alberta. “My job is to try to do as much consultation as I can with the government whenever I get the opportunity.” He has already met with Minister of Advanced Education, Demetrios Nicolaides, and began establishing a rapport, trying to keep Augustana, as much as possible, in the forefront of the mind of the provincial government. “The minister will be coming to Augustana on the Sept. 3 for an hour-long visit,” noted Demetres. “I find his gesture of coming here, of making this trip at a time that he is so busy with so much else, encouraging to say the least. I’m looking forward to speaking with him and developing a relationship. To be able to speak with him and after that develop a relationship of trust and respect—that will be good for Augustana.”
Tryphonopoulos listening to feedback By Lori Larsen
The University of Alberta Augustana Campus invites staff, students and members of the community to share thoughts with new dean, Demetres Tryphonopoulos by providing information and feedback that will assist him in understanding the needs of the students, faculty and staff of Augustana and communities of Camrose and surrounding area. “I’m declaring 100 Days of Listening, a period in which I will work towards assessing
our strengths and weaknesses while considering strategic decisions, allowing me to hear from all stakeholders of our campus, including students, staff, faculty, community members, alumni, donors, etc,” said Tryphonopoulos The initiative began Aug. 15 and will run the full 100 days, ending on Nov. 22. “Within this time period, I urge you to submit thoughts, questions, feedback, advice and any other pertinent information that you feel I
should know. I will look forward to hearing and learning from you throughout the 100 Days.” Despite being unable to directly respond to every inquiry or comment, dean Tryphonopoulos will be reading and recording everything and indicated that the information will play an important role in guiding his leadership. Feedback can be provided through email at aug100days@ualberta.ca.

Fruity bowls health options By Murray Green
Food in a bowl is a trendy option, rather than reaching for something unhealthy. The circular shape of a bowl represents wholeness, inclusion, protection, timelessness and focus. Bowls are a great way to use up vegetables, herbs, meat, fish, chicken, pasta, rice, beans or grains. Add crunch with lettuce. Be inspired by Mexican, Thai, Japanese, vegan or breakfast bowls. Add colour with beets, kale, spaghetti squash, blueberries, pomegranate arils (seeds) or citrus wedges. Use dressings sparingly. Top with seeds, nuts or herbs to heighten flavour. The options are bountiful. Lox and Loaded Bowl with Caper, Lemon and Dill Dressing ½ cup (125 ml) sweet potato wedges, ½ teaspoon (2 ml) olive oil, ½ cup (125 ml) sugar snap peas, ½ cup (125 ml) asparagus spears, ½ cup (125 ml) grape tomatoes, halved one baby cucumber, halved and chopped in thin strips, one cup (250 ml) butter leaf lettuce or mixed greens, one oz (28 g) salmon lox pieces, rolled, ½ cup (125 ml) no salt added canned chick-
peas, ¼ cup (60 ml) plain yogurt, ½ tsp (2 ml) olive oil, one Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice, one tsp (5 ml) lemon zest, one tsp (5 ml) capers (rinsed), ¼ tsp (1 ml) dried dill or one tsp (5 ml) fresh and black pepper, to taste Toss sweet potato with olive oil. Bake at 350 F (180 C) for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Blanch snap peas and asparagus in pot of boiling water and remove just as they turn bright green. Plunge into ice water. Then dry on paper towel. Arrange lettuce, sweet potato, peas, asparagus, chickpeas, tomato and cucumber in sections around bowl, finishing with lox in the centre. Mix yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, capers, dill and pepper in a bowl and serve on the side or drizzle over salad as desired. Serves one.

Unlawful hunting pays the price By Lori Larsen
Hunting is a privilege that Albertans still enjoy, however in order to ensure that privilege remains for all, it is vital that hunters and land users abide by the laws and regulations. The following is a recent court disposition of an investigation in the Camrose area during the hunting season of 2018. The results speak for themselves–the courts are not taking hunting infractions lightly. During a court hearing held on July 31 at Camrose Court House, Judge John Holmes heard on a Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch (FWEB) case involving two males charged with hunting while their ability to do so was impaired by alcohol and drugs. Both of the two males charged were represented by council, who entered guilty pleas on their behalf, at which time the circumstances surrounding the investigation and subsequent charges were provided by the crown prosecutor. The investigation came about as the result of a tip received on Nov. 9, 2018 by Camrose FWEB District Officer Lorne Rinkel, from a concerned citizen claiming to have observed the two suspects hunting while impaired near the Meeting
Creek area, an investigation ensued. Rinkel located the suspect vehicle shortly after the complaint was received Officer Lorne Rinkel
and continued observing the vehicle, from a distance, drive through various farming fields in the area. According to Rinkel’s statement, at the last legal hunting light, approximately 5 p.m., the suspect vehicle stopped beside a field frequented by big game animals. Rinkel attended to that location and conducted a hunter compliance check, at which time he observed three adults and two young children in the suspect vehicle. Rinkel observed the two male occupants consuming beer and smoking cannabis, noting the two male occupants were extremely intoxicated. He also observed three rifles in the vehicle, two located
beside the children and the third located in the front passenger seat. At this point officer Rinkel arrested one male and seized all three firearms. The two male suspects in the vehicle were charged with hunting while impaired by alcohol and drug. They were later charged with several Criminal Code counts of unlawful possession of firearms and dangerous use of firearms, in relation to the firearms proximity to children and overall lack of firearms licenses. “During my investigation, a Camrose County Peace Officer happened by the remote location and assisted me in maintaining control of the subjects at hand,” explained Rinkel. After hearing the case brief Judge Holmes sentenced the two accused with a total of $4,000 in fines and eight years of hunting license suspensions. One of the three firearms was forfeit to the Crown and the other two are in custody until ownership of those firearms can be established. Judge Holmes indicated in court that was the worst case involving hunting that he had seen in ten years (as a judge) warning both accused that they not only endangered lives but the lives of children.

Self guide for museum visitors By Lori Larsen
Camrose and District Centennial Museum summer employee Jayda Calon was delighted to find her niche working at the museum and, true to the nature of the summer students working there, had no problem going above and beyond to make the museum one of Camrose and area’s wonderful attractions. This is Jayda’s second year at the museum and, along with coworker Stephanie Olson, they were the smiling faces guests of the museum experience when they walk through the doors. “I always knew I wanted to do something in my field, which is art, but I wasn’t sure where that would take me. I saw the opening at the museum and applied. I always loved going to any museum. It didn’t matter what it was about, but I knew I would find something interesting or learn something.” While it had been a while since Jayda, who lives just outside of Miquelon Lake with her family on a farm, had actually visited Camrose Museum, she has always been intrigued by the buildings. After her first year of working at the museum, she was hooked, not only because of the wonderful people with
whom she worked, but she had started projects and didn’t have enough time to finish them so she knew she had to return to make sure they were completed. Jayda took a major in fine arts at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, but wanted to expand her knowledge into the design aspect of fine arts, so has since moved to the north campus of University of Alberta, where she will return in the fall. “I saw practicality in the design factor,” she said. “My favourite thing to do at the museum is designing the displays. I love the placement of the items and how they all look together. It is all about the visual experience. “It’s not just putting items out there to be shown; it is how you create the story and the history which is really fun, but challenging,” she smiled. Despite somewhat limited resources, the museum employees have managed to create beautiful displays throughout the museum buildings. “We do what we can with what we have at the museum. There is also limited funding, so it creates more of a challenge to determine how to do more with less.” One of Jayda’s pet projects this year turned out to
be a major asset to the museum. Recognizing a need to provide museum guests with a bit more than an 8” x 10” reference sheet of the displays and artifacts at the museum, she took it upon herself to create a full colour informative booklet. “We hand the Self Guided Tours booklet out to everyone as they walk in.” Using the knowledge and skills she learned during her program at University of Alberta, she rewrote the existing information, photographed all the photos and ultimately designed the 24-page userfriendly booklet. Individual pages are dedicated to the 12 buildings on the museum property and include explanations, photos, a handdrawn map of the grounds and a section specifically for children. “There is the knowledge that most adults will understand and enjoy, but the children wouldn’t understand it, so I wanted to include a fun way for children to learn.” The booklets are also used during tours given by museum staff as a guide to follow. “We gave them out to teachers and school groups. They would have this booklet that they could follow. I wanted to make it easy for people to get around the

museum and understand what was going on, what things are.” Going the extra mile and producing such a viable tool for the museum is demonstrative of the passion Jayda has for her job and for the museum. “I like the open-ended ness of all the different things you can do during the day at the museum,” she said of why the museum is a great place to work, especially for students looking to gain valuable experience over the summer. “First and foremost, we are here for customer service and general maintenance, but the summer
employees are pretty much given freedom to develop ideas.” In thinking of what Jayda would like to do in the future, she admits she is still not 100 per cent sure. “I have been thinking about teaching art. I really like working with children and feel like we are losing the arts programs.” However, she is also very interested in the design aspect as well. With her obvious artistic flare and focus on organizing and completing projects such as the booklet, there is no doubt that whatever she decides to do, she will succeed.

Round Hill to host Harvest Show, Shine By Murray Green
Drive your favourite vehicle to the seventh annual Round Hill Harvest Show and Shine on Sunday, Sept. 1. The Round Hill and District Agricultural Society is hosting its yearly event at the agricultural grounds near the ball diamonds and campground. “The show and shine is open to all pre-90s vehicles and is in conjunction with our threshing demo. A vehicle can be registered a classic after 25 years, so it made sense to include 80s vehicles. We had a lot of requests to include them as well,” said organizer Allen Tomaszewski. “Every year our event grows. It depends on the weather, but we are hoping for an even bigger show this year. I remember that in our first year, I went into Round Hill and couldn’t see Main Street because it was so foggy. I thought it was going to be a wreck, but it cleared off and it turned out to be a great day,” he recalled. Awards are presented in classic, pick-ups, rat rods and muscle car categories. “The show is wide open and we even take works in progress into the event,” said Allen. “The event brings a lot of people into Round Hill and it begins with a pancake breakfast,” he added. The pancake breakfast starts the day from 9 to 11 a.m. with vehicle registration held from 9 a.m. to noon. The car show is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and door prizes will begin at 1:30 p.m.
FIELD OF DREAMS
Murray Green, Camrose Booster A huge variety of older vehicles will be on display around the ball diamonds as the Round Hill and District Agricultural Society hosts its annual harvest Show and Shine on Sept. 1.
“We will have a binding, threshing and stooking demonstration. We want to show younger people how things were done in the past, and bring back memories for some of the long-time farmers,” he said. “It was so labour intensive and took days compared to the 10 minutes it takes a large combine to harvest the same area. This is our chance to show them what it was like.”
Tomaszewski, at the age of 16, was one of the last age groups to harvest with binders and threshing machines. “Both threshing and the classic vehicles are a thing of the past. This is an opportunity to reflect on our history in the area,” said Allen. The threshing demonstration is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. A show and shine awards presentation will be
held at 3 p.m. with several awards to be presented. “We have several organizations helping out to put the show on. In a community like Round Hill, everyone pitches in and helps to make it a success.”

In Their Footsteps By Lori Larsen
As part of the Battle River Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Arts Awards, beginning in September, the Camrose Heritage Railway Station is featuring a unique interpretive display called In Their Footsteps. The Railway Station is featuring footwear, along with interpretive stories, of past and present cultures (settlers and Indigenous) in the Battle River area. The various footwear have been loaned to the museum and are displayed throughout the museum, depicting the journey early settlers made to establish the Battle River area. Displayed in showcases in the front lobby of the Railway Station, are a variety of moccasins and mukluks on loan to the Camrose Railway Muse-
um by the Portage College Museum of Aboriginal Arts and Artifacts at Lac la Biche. Visitors can read about the delicate work involved in making the moccasins and mukluks, as well as the symbolic meaning of some of the footwear. In Their Footsteps is one of many activities and events being featured throughout August and September, celebrating the 2019 Battle River Lt. Governor of Alberta Arts Awards and highlighting the amazing arts and culture of the Battle River area.

Motorists advised to use caution By Lori Larsen
Nothing like a little competition
I thought that I was competitive in my youth, but I am surprised to realize that my competitive side has ramped up as an adult. The mom’s group at my church had been having very calm and civil semiannual swaps for awhile before we moved back to town. My first time attending, we drew numbers and got to pick two items according to our numbers; after that there was a free-for-all where we could toss whatever we wanted into our laundry baskets, with the remainder donated. The moms with new babies sensed the frenzy in the air and swiftly strapped their babes into car seats before the free-for-all began. I learned later that it was the first time in the history of the swap that ladies started running for the free-for-all portion of the evening; apparently I brought some kind of adrenaline rush to the event. I almost collided with a friend–she was heading to a baby monitor, while I was rushing in the opposite direction to the women’s tops. Sharpen your elbows, ladies! It took me hours to fall asleep that night from the excitement of it all. When we entered our daughter in a crawling race and she wore a snappy little tortoise costume, I was shocked when she didn’t win for best costume. I realized that whoever gets the most cheers wins. I am not ashamed to admit that for both our sons, also dressed in the same tortoise costume, we invited many of our family and friends to, ahem, give their support and also their cheers so both boys would go on to win in the best costume category. So it was a surprise to me that I didn’t feel a real competitive attitude when I entered the Battle River Watershed Alliance’s annual Saskatoon pie baking competition. I didn’t invite everyone I knew to attend, and in fact, hardly saw anyone that I did know there. I didn’t coerce anyone to vote for my pie, other than my children. (Later my daughter corrected me and said that she didn’t vote for mine because it was mine, but because she liked it the best! Awww.) Okay, so just my youngest was coerced a bit. And oh fine, while we were standing by the pies eating our samples, a stranger asked if I had heard which ones were worth tasting. (I guess a person only has room for so much pie.) I couldn’t help myself-for one moment my competitive side won out. I told her that I had heard that number two (my mom’s) and number six (mine) were quite good, then grinned at my daughter. Still, I was quite stunned when I was announced as the people’s choice award winner. That meant that total strangers had voted for something that I had lovingly made! Before we left, a lady came up for a chat. She asked where I had picked my berries (our farm and Tillicum Beach) and what the secret to winning was (bring it hot!). We talked about how it wasn’t a great year for berries, but better than last year, and pondered what makes for a good berry year or not. I left the event with a warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach and not from the pie. It was from the wonderful sense of community at the downtown market, a coming together of strangers, who visit and find their commonalities. Alas, my competitive side came out again that night when I started to think about what I could do to improve in the creativity and appearance department so that I could win the coveted judge’s choice award. After that, maybe it would be time to judge the competition, as a local columnist and past winner. Then my pie competition journey would have come full circle. Now it’s time to remind my little pie eaters not to wear light coloured shorts when the pie is served–I cannot guarantee that the juicy, purple Saskatoon stain will ever come out.
School buses and other passenger vehicles will once again be traversing the roads delivering our most valuable commodities (children) to and from school, so drivers are asked to be extra vigilant. Battle River School division first day of classes is Sept. 3 and traffic may be a little heavier this day as well as the following days, especially around the schools. With over 250,000 Alberta students relying on buses to get them back and forth to school, the Alberta Transportation website reminds motorists of the following when approaching a school bus. Firstly, always respect the flashing lights on a school bus, which creates a safety zone for children around the vehicle. Watch out for alternating flashing amber lights, which means a school bus is slowing to stop where students will either be getting on or off the bus. Slow down and stop when the school bus activates its alternately flashing red lights. This means you must stop whether you are approaching an oncoming bus or following one.
The only exception to this rule is when the bus is on the opposite side of a twoway highway that is physically divided by a median. Proceed only when the red lights on the bus have stopped flashing. Watch for school buses loading and unloading children, even if the lights aren’t flashing. Be on the lookout for children crossing the road. Drivers must abide by posted signs at all times. School zones have a speed limit of 30 km/h in both urban and rural areas. These limits are in effect on school days from 8 until 9:30 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. until
1:30 p.m. and 3 until 4:30 p.m., or unless otherwise posted. The fine for passing a school bus with its red lights flashing is $402 and six demerit points. Some municipalities have bylaws that do not require school buses to use their alternating flashing lights when stopping. In this case, drivers do not need to stop but should still be cautious and watch for pedestrians when the buses are loading or unloading students. According to Transport Canada, school bus travel remains the safest mode of transportation to and from schools. It is 16 times safer than the family car. “Patience, extra attentiveness and situational knowledge go a long way toward keeping our roads safe for everyone,” said Gareth Jones, president of the Canada Safety Council. “It’s our responsibility as conscientious road users to make sure that nobody is unnecessarily put in harm’s way.” For more information about traffic safety, contact the Traffic Safety Office at 780-422-8839 or visit http://www.saferoads. com/.

Ron McVee 1921 ~ 2010 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 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. Always remembered by Joyce; Karen (Bob) and family; Paul (Bev) and family.
1931 ~ 2012 God saw you getting tired A cure was not to be, So He put you His arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Your tender hands at rest, God took you home to prove to us He only takes the best. Love you forever, – Paula and family

A gentlemen with a heart of gold, Left us with treasured memories to hold. As we remember, he is not gone, Because within our hearts, he will live on. He’s the arms that picked us up when times were tough, The bandaid that healed our wounds, The rainbow that cleared a dreary sky, The brightest star in the night sky. Now he’s gone to the heavens above, Watching down on us, sending his love. Always remembered in love, and always in our hearts, Ruth, Carey & Terry, Andrew, Kimberly, Rose, Dawn & Shawn, Megan & Aidan

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 onetime 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.

Minimum wage panel By Murray Green
The Alberta government has appointed a diverse panel that will use research, expertise and experience to assess Alberta’s minimum wage. Alberta has the highest minimum wage in the country, yet Albertans continue to struggle to find jobs. The panel will study and publish economic data related to minimum wage changes. It will also assess whether a wage differential for hospitality industry workers who serve alcohol could lead to higher net incomes. This work will be completed by mid-January 2020. “By establishing this panel of experts, we are keeping another platform promise and making progress on our common-sense plan to restore jobs and prosperity to our province,” said Jason Copping, minister of labour and immigration. “The effects of Alberta’s 47 per cent minimum wage increase over the past four years and the elimination of the liquor server differential, deserve to be studied. I am pleased to be leading a panel of experts to address that need,” said Joseph Marchand, chair of the minimum wage panel. Marchand is an associate professor of economics, University of Alberta. Anindya Sen, Mark von Schellwitz, Richard Truscott, Jason Stanton, Branko Culo, Delphine Borger, Rachel Donnelly, and Nicole Lyckama are also on the panel.
