News Features Camrosians and Sahakarini volunteers Laura Parker (Project Committee Member) and Varghese Manaloor (Professor, U of A Augustana Campus), give RN Maya Rathnavalu a gentle “get-started” push on her vintage bicycle. A bicycle of this sort symbolizes this year’s theme of movement and active engagement in our greater international community. The sandals hanging around Maya’s neck and shown below are those of Gordon Schieck, founding Sahakarini member, who had this footwear made in India in the 1950s while he and his wife, Mina, were missionaries in India. They remain a symbol of the group for the multitude of miles Gordon walked on dusty trails, in these very sandals, while improving the lives of those far less fortunate.

And now for something completely different

As you’re reading this, the federal election is behind us. I’m writing before the election so don’t know the results. However, I’m guessing that even if the candidate you voted for got elected, you’re not filled with optimism about the results. That’s in addition to whatever stressors might be going on in your personal life, plus the state of the world. As a friend said recently, “It feels like a lot of people are dis-spirited.” Flashback. In 1979, Norman Cousins wrote a book called Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by a Patient. In 1954, Cousins was diagnosed with a heart disease. In 1964, he experienced a crippling connective tissue disease as well as an inflammation of the joints of the spine. Constant pain. He was told he had one chance in 500 of recovery. He’d studied the impact of positive emotions so he developed his own recovery program. The biggest part became known as laugh therapy. He watched old movies and TV programs that made him laugh. Wikipedia quotes him: “I made the joyous discovery that 10 minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep. When the pain-killing effect of the laughter wore off, we would switch on the motion picture projector again and not infrequently, it would lead to another pain-free interval.” Cousins died of heart failure in 1990, years later than his doctors predicted: 26 years after his connective tissue illness and 36 years after doctors first diagnosed his heart disease. So–in the spirit of laugh therapy, here are two belly laugh stories from my family. ***

When we were growing up we heard about the time my mom and her sister Edna were at a lake cottage with a three-year-old (that would be me), two toddlers and a baby. One afternoon it took a long time to settle the children for a nap. When they were finally asleep, Mom picked up a magazine and saw a cartoon. A radio announcer was saying, “We would like to thank our sponsors for their patience during our technical problems, except for Street Brown and Company who were really quite nasty.” That struck mom funny. She started to laugh. Then she got the giggles and couldn’t stop laughing. Edna was irked because mom laughed so loud that she woke some of the babies. For decades afterwards, our dad could make mom laugh simply by saying, “What was that cartoon? Street Brown and Company?” She would get the giggles all over again. And then we’d all start laughing because our serious do-your-duty mom had uncontrollable giggles. ***

A few decades later: our dad was a stickler for safety, at work and at home. When he mowed the lawn, he put on coveralls, leather gauntlets and proper work boots (underneath the coveralls, he was still wearing his white shirt and tie). People teased him but he didn’t care. Safety was paramount. When my parents were in their seventies, dad got up one night to go to the bathroom. On the way back to bed in the dark, he stubbed his toe. He said some words. A voice from the other side of the bed said, “You mean you weren’t wearing your steel-toed boots?” He started to laugh. Then she started to laugh. They both laughed and couldn’t stop. When one began to wind down, the other would start up laughing again. Telling the story, dad said, “There we were, two old coots laughing our heads off in the middle of the night.” It’s one of my favourite mental images of my parents. ***

Feeling dis-spirited? Find something to laugh about. Maybe a funny movie. Maybe a funny memory. If you can’t find something, invent something. As Cousins learned, 10 minutes of belly laughs gave him two hours of pain-free sleep. It’s a start. ***

I read Neil Leeson’s letter and felt I had to respond. Ron Williams had written to express his opinion on the SNC Lavalin affair and Mr. Leeson wrote back with no facts, no logic, just to express an insult. That’s disappointing. I, for one, sort of agree with Mr. Williams. When you get past all the shouting, I don’t see that there is much to the SNC Lavalin affair. Yes, in 2011, SNC bribed some Libyan officials, just like other foreign companies, including Canadian, do. It’s the cost of doing business in Libya. And yes, the Trudeau government was just sweeping that under the rug, just like the Harper government had before them and like other countries do in that situation. The only unusual thing is that Jodie WilsonRaybold went rogue, proceeding with charges that will destroy the company and the 10,000 Canadian jobs that go with it. It’s messy and it stinks. Welcome to government. But compare that to Stephen Harper’s handling of the giant accounting firm KPMG. When the Canada Revenue Agency went after KPMG for tax fraud, behavior that KPMG was fined $489 million for in the US, Harper stepped in to protect KPMG and the many very wealthy Canadians who were dodging their taxes. As a result, the Canada Revenue Agency backed off, KPMG does business as usual and Stephen Harper is now a paid “advisor” to the law firm that works for KPMG. That really stinks and seems to me to be far worse than the SNC affair, once you get past all the shouting. Now Mr. Leeson, if you think I am wrong and you have facts, logic and an intelligent argument to back up your opinion, I’d like to read it. After all, an open, fact-based exchange of ideas is very important in a democracy and I’m grateful that the Booster provides a useful forum for that. If, on the other hand, you only want to hurl insults, I’d ask you to please not bother because it only lowers the quality of the discourse. Rob Hill, Camrose Climate change

Is Climate Change real? Yes, the climate has

been constantly changing, since the ice age. Are humans the cause of climate change? Answer– partially–there are natural factors and there are human factors, which magnify the situation. The simple fact is that humans cause pollution, in the air, on land and in the oceans. Humans change the natural environment. Forests and meadows, of rain and carbon absorbing trees and grasses, are replaced with energy consuming residences, offices, factories, industrial complexes, vehicles, etc. This expanding human environment creates impenetrable roadways, rooftops and parking lots which spew carbon into the air, accumulate rainfall into unnatural runoffs and floods, and absorb the sun to create more heat (the heat bubbles of the cities). Simple extended fact, more humans cause more development and more pollution and certainly advance undesirable aspects of climate change. Changes to our energy production and consumption, with the use of less carbon, are part of the solution in advanced countries such as Canada. However, any reductions made in the advanced world are more than offset by greater, more polluting, energy consumption in the heavily populated developing world. The solution is simple, but way too controversial for the risk adverse leaders of the world to address– we need less humans to have any hope of reducing the impact humanity has on climate change. The United Nations solution– move more humans to the advanced economies. The result is that the developing countries continue to add an endless supply of additional people. We need to eliminate population growth to have any hope of reducing the impact of humans on the climate and the quality of life on our planet. We need to cap population growth, and Canada could be a leader in this regard. The facts on world population, in 2018 the world population was 7.594 billion and in 1968 it was 3.534 billion. In 50 years the world population more than doubled and you wonder why our climate is changing quickly? Wake up climate crusaders and take on the real

issue and not the easy targets. David W. Kotyk, Camrose Wasted money

What is Camrose City council doing? Council complains that costs are sky high and they are hard to control, but the council also approved the street work at the north end of Main Street and also along Highway 13 or 48th Avenue. A lot of work is being done, for what? The original design was practical and useful as it was, but somebody had the revelation that it should be better, but in the end is inconvenient and hard to justify, plus a big cost to the city revenues. What is gained? Somebody’s brainwave is acted on and doesn’t make an improvement and costs a lot of money. Bernie von Tettenborn, Round Hill Red Tape

If the Camrose Red Tape Reduction meeting is indicative of the UCP’s Alberta-wide Red Tape Round-Tables, it’s a mega waste of tax dollars. 1. Attendance, “by invitation only,” didn’t result in accurate community representation. A dozen people attended (Damien Kurek, some lawyers, builders, realtors, Daysland’s mayor and two councillors; the Forestburg CAO, and two landowners). 2. Red Tape was not defined, with obvious examples. So most responses were not specific enough to allow MLA Lovely to pass meaningful feedback to associate minister Hunter and his Red Tape Team. 3. CutRedTape,Alberta. ca. could provide feedback to Hunter at a lower cost, but Alberta Taxpayers bear the cost of an associate red tape minister, his office and administrative staff, a Red Tape Team, a Red Tape Force, and province-wide MLAs’ Red Tape session expenses. 4. Albertans with Red Tape concerns now face additional Red Tape barriers. 5. If “cutting Red Tape by a third” is truly the goal, government would mandate it a priority for every MLA/minister, and hold them responsible for eliminating it. M. R. Leithead, Bawlf

Justice minister talks rural crime By Murray Green

Alberta Minister of Justice Doug Schweitzer has heard about rural crime concerns from across the province during his Talking Rural Crime tour this fall. He visited Camrose on Oct. 9. “I am thankful for everyone who has to come out tonight. Your input is essential in helping our government create safer and more secure communities,” said Doug Schweitzer, Alberta Minister of Justice and Solicitor General. The online survey is available at alberta.ca/ rural-crime until Oct. 31. It covers issues such as community safety and policing and crime-reduction matters. “Right now we have a lack of prosecutors in the province and too many cases are being dropped. We currently have 25 unfilled positions, plus we want to add another 50 positions,” said Schweitzer. “People don’t feel safe in rural communities anymore and that is a concern. Sometimes it is a half hour, maybe an hour or longer to have police respond and people don’t have the trust in the system,” shared Schweitzer, on what he learned at the town hall meetings. He encouraged everyone to report all crimes to give police and the government a record on how much crime there is, so they can address them. Schweitzer is also talking to scrap yards and recycling places about monitoring the copper and other items that are sold for cash. “In early September, we

had 60 people invade a turkey farm in southern Alberta. They wanted to hold a protest, but they were trespassing. The premier made a decisive announcement to go after these types of people. We want to send a clear signal that you don’t get to trespass on private property in Alberta and we respect property rights. So when an individual does that they can face a fine of up to $25,000. If organizations do this, it could be fines up to $200,000 and six months in jail.” People voiced concerns about theft, property rights, trespassing, lack of respect, not enough teeth in the court system, ATM machine removals, no fear or penalties for actions, lack of response times by police and more bite in criminal codes across Canada. “Despite what we have been told by authorities, rural crime is increasing. The one thing that has increased beyond a doubt is the anxiety in our communities that wasn’t there previously. We need to work together to stop this. Camrose County truly appreciates the efforts that are being made by the provincial government to listen to people in rural Alberta and to act quickly on it,” said Camrose County Reeve Don Gregorwich. Most Albertans want to reduce rural crime and crime in general, but not the fact they will be taxed further in a time of uncertainty. At what cost?

Several rural communities have raised the alarm over a UCP scheme to download $10 million or more of

policing costs onto local taxpayers. “Under the proposed model, costs of anywhere from $390,000 to $1,800,000 will be effectively downloaded onto the County of Wetaskiwin to pay for a current level of service from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,” said Reeve Terry Van de Kraats said. The same is true for Camrose County. Schweitzer indicated that each community can decide how much policing they are willing to pay extra for.

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

The MLAs are back in session as of Oct. 8, working hard for Albertans to keep the promises made when we were elected. We pledge to continue to pass legislation that will get Albertans back to work and reduce unnecessary red tape, which stands in the way of our success. The ministries of seniors and housing, and red tape reduction collaborated to develop an online document upload tool for seniors applying to financial assistance programs. This new online tool allows seniors to quickly, easily and securely submit applications to financial assistance programs and their supporting documents online. Our government is committed to supporting Alberta seniors and their families by making the programs and services they rely on more accessible. The address is alberta.ca/seniors-financial-assistance.aspx. An employee support program launched this week, that will help unionized employees, or those who may become part of a union, better understand and exercise their rights. They will be able to easily access information, resources, and supports related to union matter, such as certification and decertification. This is part of our government’s commitment to restore balance in the workplace by giving workers access to factual information and support from a neutral source. We introduced legislation designed to punish illegal protestors who invade farms. This not only protects the farmers from people entering their work place and interfering with their lives, but also protects the health and safety of the animals. Finance minister Travis Toews hosted telephone town hall meetings seeking input on the best ways to balance Alberta’s budget. Albertans were given the opportunity to provide their views on the provincial budget and Alberta’s finances. Thank you to the many who contributed. If you have any questions or would like to provide input to this important legislation, feel free to contact us at the Camrose Constituency Office at Suite 104, 4870-51 Street, Camrose or by email at camrose@assembly.ab.ca.

Enhancing growth By Lori Larsen

Members of the Camrose Men’s Shed have happily done their part in enhancing the growth of the children at the Camrose Children’s Centre. Participating men of the Men’s Shed built five large planters and placed them in the front of the Children’s Centre, ready for the children to plant in the spring. “We would like to extend a big thanks to the Camrose Men’s Shed, on behalf of the Camrose Children’s Centre families, educators and members our board, for building the planters, and also for

making the tiles for the children and families of the Centre to paint,” said Ashley Bushell, Children’s Centre executive director. “The front of the building has been enhanced, thanks to everyone involved.” The Men’s Shed members also made several small square tiles that were handpainted by the Centre children and families. The tiles were varnished then affixed to the outside of the planters as a permanent reminder that kind gestures grow beautiful results.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Several members of the Camrose Men’s Shed joined the children of the Camrose Children’s Centre (seen in planter) and Centre director Ashley Bushell, pictured standing back row third from left, and Centre board of directors vice president Eleanor White, standing far right, on Oct. 10 to officially christen the planters made by members of the Men’s Shed.

The mandala was created to reflect Downtown Camrose with input from the community as to what Downtown Camrose means to them. The shapes, colours and movement are designed to symbolize the overriding theme of Downtown being “The energy and the heart of Camrose”.

staying together as a family can be realized,” said Harvey Benke, on behalf of the family. “All three boys have significant developmental disabilities and require continuous support and physical care to meet all of their daily needs,” explained Harvey. When Lee-Anne’s home could no longer accommodate her sons’ growing needs and her MS, a plan to build a new home was launched. She agreed to sell her home and have a basement suite in the new home that would house her three sons and caregivers. They are so close.

Polio survivors tell their stories By Lori Larsen

On Oct. 24, around the world people, will be recognizing World Polio Day and communities will be hosting different events and fund raising initiatives in an effort to create awareness and help to end polio forever. Locally, the Camrose Rotary Club is hosting a couple of events. Tapping into the youth, the Rotary Clubs of Camrose are holding a citywide bottle drive at the schools on Oct. 24. Drawing on the adults, the Rotary Clubs of Camrose are holding a Pub Walk on Nov. 1 beginning at 6 p.m. at the Tap Room. To assist in building continual awareness and keep the momentum going, two Camrosians share their stories of living with polio. Eileen

In her brightly lit room at Bethany Birch Cottage, Eileen McHugh, a polio sufferer since near birth, sits amidst blue butterflies, family photos and meaningful little trinkets. Eileen has lived in Camrose for approximately 15 years since moving in from the family farm near Bawlf. “I moved into town to be on my own to take therapy for my polio,” said Eileen. Born in Oyen, Eileen was not diagnosed with polio right away. When her parents noted that she was not progressing the same as other children with crawling, walking, then eventually walking on the tips of her toes, they took her in for medical attention and, at the age of three, she was officially diagnosed with polio. The family moved to Camrose for a short bit until Eileen’s parents purchased a farm near Bawlf. Eileen was receiving treatments in Calgary and remembers having to travel there. “Dad and I would take the midnight train to Calgary. He had a place for me to stay there. I would be in Calgary for quite a while,” she said, recalling how lonely it was to be separated from the rest of her family for long periods of time. Eventually, a doctor from Oyen advised was one of the Eileen’s father lucky ones because of a doctor in polio can affect Edmonton who everything,” said Eileen. could assist with further treatment. At the tender age of seven, Eileen began her first round of surgeries, beginning with her pelvis and legs. “They had to do surgery on my ankles to bring my feet down. I went through quite a few surgeries, then as an adult, they operated on my hip and thigh. I remember being in traction for months. “I was one of the lucky ones, because polio can affect everything,” Eileen said with courageous honesty. “For me, it was from the waist down. At least I have my arms and hands. Some people couldn’t do half as much as I could or can.” For the past four years, Eileen has been using an electric wheelchair for mobility and she says, without hesitation, that it has saved her life. It affords her independence and freedom to move about her own room and the common areas of Bethany as well as the ability to use the Camrose Handivan to get out and about the City. The disease does progress to the eventual stage of post polio, where Eileen finds her self now. At the stage of post polio, limbs get weaker and the disease is progressing to the point where she requires full time care. It has affected her breathing, requiring her to have oxygen full time. As far as pain, Eileen says with sincerity “I have good days and bad days.” Her sense of humour is as bright as her eyes as she recollects a time when her breathing wasn’t as laboured as it is now, and she was heading to the hospital. “I was stopped by two concerned men who asked me if I was aware something was dragging behind me.” She soon realized that she had not hooked up her portable oxygen tank and the cord was dragging behind her. She laughed recalling the look on the two men’s faces. To keep herself busy, Eileen reads and watches some of her favourite television shows

“I

and also relies heavily on her I-Pad which allows her to stay connected to the world and her family including her daughter, son-in-law and eight-year-old grandson, who make frequent visits. On a final note Eileen had one piece of advice about life, a life that in her case, has seen its share of struggle and challenge. “Look at life with a happy face and have faith. My faith has helped me through a lot of this.” As devastating a disease as polio can be, Eileen is a testament to what positive thinking can achieve.

nerves throughout the body which in turn relay signals to muscles, in his case mostly affecting his left leg. He is outfitted with a brace that assists him with mobility and he also walks with the help of a set of high-tech, specially-fitted walking crutches. “I didn’t have any quadriceps in my left knee so I couldn’t stretch it out. In 1961, I had surgery (hamstring transfer that involved a procedure of using parts of his hamstring muscle to create muscle to help his knee bend) on my knee so that I could have more movement.” Just recently, Jim underwent surgery on his other knee, which he said required three weeks hospital time and physiotherapy. “It was surgery on my better knee so I didn’t have a good one to rely on. One day, the physiotherapist said, ‘Okay, lets go do the stairs’,” Jim smiled. “I suggested we try just walking to the nursing station then asked the physiotherapist if he’d ever seen a hamstring transfer on a polio leg. He quickly agreed just a walk to the nursing station would be enough.” But despite having an affect on Jim’s mobility, it did not and does not slow END POLIO Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster him down from doing what Supporting the Rotary Club’s initiative to End Polio are, left to right, he knows he can and wants Camrose Rotary Club president Roy Wallace, Eileen McHugh and to do in life. “In 1967, I Jim Rasmussen. spent eight months hitchhiking around Europe, Jim North Africa and the Middle East (I worked at Raised on the family farm near the town of Harrod’s in London for a month).” Standard, started by his great-grandfather in He has had several interesting jobs 1909, now longtime Camrosian Jim Rasmus- throughout his life and has created and opersen, speaks candidly about having polio. ated very successful businesses. “I contracted polio in 1957 at the age of 11 “In 1968, I worked as a canvasser for the and spent 11 months in hospital; six flat on my Alberta Weather Modification Association.

Addams Family set to open on Halloween By Murray Green

The Churchmice Players couldn’t have planned it any better. The Addams Family Musical will be opening on Halloween night, Oct. 31, to an audience of scary characters themselves. “Rehearsals are going really well with the cast and crew working really hard to put this show together to bring to Camrose audiences,” said producer Janine Carroll, on behalf of the crew. “We also have the option for those wanting a dinner theatre–they are so popular. We are bringing a spectacularly delectable meal to the event. The dinner will be served at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m. “Churchmice has an excellent reputation of bringing top notch performances to the stage and this production is going to be among the best of them.” Brain Dumont stars as Gomez Addams with this role made for him. Nick Goetz is going to steal the show as Fester. The role of Morticia is double cast with both actresses rocking the role, Desiree de Kock and Jillian Cross.

“Churchmice does a fantastic job of making sure that every resource is available to directors and performers to ensure a top notch play,” added Janine. Directors are Sandra McLay and Cordellia Tindall. Stage manager is Katlin Anderson, choral director is David Salmon, choreography is shared by Duncan McDougall and Signe Peake, set design leader is Todd Sikorski, and props with Wendy Wenig and Aline Wenig (a mother and daughter team). The Churchmice Players version of the The Addams Family Musical is a great way to enjoy the Halloween season. The original newspaper cartoon series was made into a black and white television show in 1964-66 with a total of 64 shows. A new Addams Family movie was released on Oct. 18, just prior to the Churchmice Players hitting the stage. The show is a musical comedy suitable for the entire family that begins on Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. Dinner theatres will be held Nov. 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9. Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. on Nov. 3 and 10.

We took a little bit of time off touring and I’ve just been gearing up to release the new album. This October tour is kind of a chance to get through a lot of the cities that we don’t get to play on regular tours.

that reached #1 on CBC Radio 2’s Top 20 chart. “I find people in smaller towns are more excited when a band comes through as well. It’s because it’s not something that happens every day.” In 2018, the band released their second album Arms of a Dream. In February 2019, the band released a stand alone digital single “Hold

Me Like A Fire” along with a collaboration video produced by the National Music Centre during their artist in residence program.

The last two albums are closer together. “I remember the first one, kind of just trying to get songs together and the second one was almost four years later. We got caught up with all sorts of different politics and stress in the wrong kind of energy. This one, I kind of decided I wanted to write it in January. And so from January up until, I guess. March, it was written and recorded. So it’s the fastest it’s ever turned around. And I think it was just because we were all really ready and we knew what we wanted to do. It is a different sounding album too.” It also took a few years to sort out the sound. “There was a guitar in the band, one guy kind of played a banjo, someone else picked bass, then there’s drums. We were experimenting with keyboards and that’s kind of what the song sounded like. On the last record, we decided what instruments we wanted to play during recording. “In recording, we had the luxury of kind of having all of these instruments and other players.” Reuben enjoys the more acoustic stripped down songs and the full dance songs that you start dancing to.” The band name was added to note it wasn’t just Reuben anymore. “I was looking to get away from just being a solo person. I played with a band for a couple of years and I had a lot of people want to try and book me solo for festivals. I thought just changing the band name would make it feel more like a band and less like a solo guy to take the edge off me a little bit. I just kind of stumbled on it when I had the word dark in my head, I really connected with it and I was like that’s the name, that’s the band name. Afterwards I realized that at the time, every single song I’d written had the word dark in it.” “I’m not a dark person. I think I have a pretty funny sense of humour and always smiling and pretty optimistic yet I pull a lot of the stuff from the shadows, from pain and sorrow and that’s always what moved the needle with my writing. It’s tapping into that kind of emotion. I tried to bring joy into the darker things that we experienced. “This album felt like a bit of a celebration, just some guys who had been playing music together for a long time and making songs that we want to make, using sounds that we want to use. And that felt really good.”

Cummings gets up close with local fans

LUNCH CORPORATE CRIMES: & is haunting the World LEARN A spectre – the spectre of genocide Thursday, October 24 12:00 noon

By Murray Green

Burton Cummings (along with the Guess Who) was an iconic voice for Canadian music for baby boomers with his voice and lyrics. He is returning to Camrose for his Up Close and Alone Tour at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Burton’s musical creations continue to resonate with fans both old and new. His voice is considered to be one of the finest in rock music and he has continued to uphold this impressive reputation as performer, singer, songwriter and recording artist.

Roger Epp Room, Augustana Campus

Exploitation of workers, communities and resources has always occurred, yet is not a main theme in the history of management. Even so, crimes, misconduct, unethical behaviour and corporate social irresponsibility have become increasingly common, urging further reflection on these issues. Our visiting lecturer, Cíntia Rodrigues de Oliveira Medeiros, will discuss the seriousness of corporate crimes, how they resemble genocide and consider why organizations become criminal.

Dawn Hage is ready to expand brass music around the community and university.

By Murray Green

University of Alberta Augustana Campus music instructor Dawn Hage teaches brass music to both university students and community musicians. “I received a call from Augustana in the spring telling me that the brass teacher was leaving and they were looking for someone to replace him. I was really excited because it was something that I wanted to do,” explained Dawn. “I’ve done a lot of teach-

ing, but I wanted to teach at a university. I’ve taught for about 40 to 45 years in a lot of formats. I taught at Alberta College before I moved to BC. I just moved back two years ago.” Dawn teaches both university and community students on Fridays, but is hoping to expand her impact on the local area. “I was teaching a trumpet student last year who was considering coming to Augustana. I was preparing him to audition to both the

U of A and Augustana. We had a great teaching/student relationship and he ended up choosing Augustana, so I am working with him again,” shared Dawn. She hopes to expand the local programs by starting a local group of musicians in the brass family. “Right now, I have five university students and two community students. At this point, I’m doing private lessons, but as time goes on, I will be teaching some repertory classes as well in a mas-

terclass setting. Down the line, I’m hoping to develop a brass choir and some chamber music.” She is a dedicated and talented educator with extensive professional experience as a music director, performer, private instructor, clinician and chamber music coach. “I’m coming in on the ground floor and Dr. Ardelle Ries has some neat ideas to expand our brass and winds,” she added. Dawn has 18 years of experience directing, organizing, promoting and inspiring community concert band musicians on Salt Spring Island, BC. “Students coming in would benefit from lessons and ensembles. It would be more of an incentive to come here. Right now, we have a great program for voice, piano and early education. I want to have that for brass instruments as well.” She also gives private trumpet lessons with many years’ experience from teaching beginners to university level students. “A brass choir and vocal choir really go well together. I could draw from the community band. It’s a rich community and reminds me of Salt Spring.” Dawn has extensive experience performing in multiple musical genres including symphony, chamber music, wind ensemble, big band and as a soloist. “I love taking all levels of people in music and combining them to make music that is greater than the individual. You end up with an amazing group of band members.”

She has a masters degree in music from Northwestern University studying with renowned pedagogue Vincent Cichowitz. Dawn was a member of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra trumpet section for 12 years before relocating to the west coast. “There is going to be a shift in focus at Augustana where we thought about not being identical to the U of A, but find our own path and make it a destination for students. We want to create the best performers that we can, but also have the best teachers and give the students a wide variety of experience,” Dawn said. “Most of the students end up as performers or music teachers at some point.” She was a member of Edmonton Symphony Orchestra trumpet section for 12 years, a chamber and solo musician, principal trumpet SPO, lead trumpet, Swing Shift Big Band, Bach on the Rock, SS Brass Quintet, Symphonic Winds 2000, Orchestra Borealis, Edmonton Winds, Edmonton Pops, freelance solo, chamber and large ensemble musician. This fall, Dawn has been teaching trumpet and tuba. “If a horn player or trombone player came along, I could teach them as well. It is great for high school students because they can receive extra one-on-one instruction and it will make a huge difference when they go back to their own band.” For more information on brass music lessons, phone the fine arts department in Augustana at 780-679-1532.

All-Canadian golfer Michael Harrison of the Vikings. By Murray Green

Golfer Michael Harrison qualified for his fifth consecutive CCAA National Golf Championship appearance as an University of Alberta Augustana Campus athlete. He golfed at SainteVictoire de Sorel, Quebec for the national tournament from Oct. 14 to 18. The local golfer shot rounds of 76, 72 and 76 for a total of 224 overall at nationals to tie for ninth place. Michael finished his league efforts with a second-place position in the 2019 Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Golf Championships held at Coal Creek Golf Resort on Sept. 29. “In the past five seasons of having Michael as a part of our team, he has proven to be not only our number one player on the roster, but more importantly, a true ambassador for Augustana. He is an individual that upholds outstanding leadership qualities which has contributed in leading our team to gold, silver and bronze medals throughout our previous ACAC Golf Championships,” said Vikings golf coach Bill Penny. “Michael has been Player of the Year twice in the men’s individual category and has revived three CCAA All-Canadian awards throughout his golfing career at Augustana.” This year, Michael hopes to finish in the top five after having finished sixth place in last year’s national championship. “Michael will be remembered for not only his golfing skills, but also for his outstanding scholastic achievements. It has been a true highlight in my professional career to have been associated with Michael’s development and success,” added Bill.

ELK * LONGHORN BEEF * PORK Bob Hanrahan

Honouring Hanrahan By Lori Larsen

Bob Hanrahan will be honoured as a Battle River Community Foundation Community Builder during an evening celebration at the Daysland Community Hall, Oct. 26. Bob will be honoured for his lifetime of contributions to the Daysland area. Earnings from the proceeds of this Community Builders Dinner will support projects and activities funded by the Battle River Community Foundation in the Daysland area, which is near and dear to Bob’s heart. “The Foundation gives money back to support important causes and projects in my area,” said Bob. “I’m happy to support my community, so that’s why I’m allowing my name to stand.” Bob arrived in Daysland in 1927, when his father began the job as local postmaster. As the saying goes “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”, and it was the example that Bob’s parents set of being good citizens and giving back to the community, that played a major role in his own contributions to community. In particular, Bob’s father ran for town council and at one point, served as mayor of Daysland. “I tried to keep up to his example and follow in his footsteps.” Tried would be an understatement. During his 90-plus years, Bob volunteered as a firefighter for 46 years, including 19 years as chief; started the local ambulance service and spent 20 years as a driver; served five years on town council; has been an outstanding Legion member for 73 years; participated on the Daysland Cemetery Committee and with the local Elks, curling club, golf club, hospital founda-

tion and Drop-in Centre society. Besides a tireless volunteer, Bob was a valuable employee, spending many years operating the Daysland Post Office and more than 70 years as a funeral director. “For most funeral directors, a career in funeral service may be as long as 25 or 30 years,” remarked Burgar Funeral Home funeral director Cam Parker. “Bob Hanrahan served the families of Daysland and area for 70 years with compassion and dignity and care and concern for the families and the deceased. He is highly respected by the staff at Burgar Funeral Home; we have always looked up to him as a role model. Bob has set the bar high in our profession and we strive to meet that level of professionalism that Bob has set. “It has been an honour and a privilege to work alongside Bob for 25 of my 31 years in funeral service. Bob is a mentor and a good friend.” During his work with the post office, Bob met his wife Norma who worked across the street at the Daysland branch of the Bank of Montreal. Her daily delivery of the bank’s mail to the post office forged a loving and long-lasting relationship. The couple married in 1949. Norma passed away in 2007. Bob recently turned 94 years young and one would never guess by his humble and gracious way, which shows no age. He recently moved from the family home into a suite at Providence Place located in Daysland. He feels fortunate to be able to remain in the community that has given him so much and the community is delighted to celebrate the man who has given back tenfold.

The Camrose RCMP detachment was selected as part of a pilot program to determine the feasibility of sharing resources between Camrose and Wetaskiwin detachments. “This has benefitted Camrose County residents with policing 24/7. I’m very pleased with the better policing and after hours responses,” explained RCMP Central District Chief Superintendent Shahin Mehdizadeh. “Instead of having an on-call officer respond to a call, we now have someone on duty and the response time can be a little quicker.” Mehdizadeh said that there is a zero chance the Camrose detachment is being closed. The Camrose detachment has a corporal and three constables still working out of it with backup options from Wetaskiwin. Both Wetaskiwin and Camrose communities benefit by the pilot program because of sharing of resources between the two detachments. Response for back-up officers is also faster when a second on-duty officer is called to a scene, instead of an on-call officer. Service hasn’t changed in regards to police response to residents serviced by the Camrose detachment. Mehdizadeh urged residents to call in if they observe any suspicious behaviour, or if a crime has been committed. When he mentioned that the crime rates have dropped, council quickly set him straight. “The calls have dropped because no one bothers to phone them in anymore. I had two incidents this summer and didn’t call either one in. Why bother if no one ever responds,” said councillor Brian Willoughby. That’s when Mehdizadeh offered some advice. “Tell everyone to call in and report all crimes. If we don’t know about it, we can’t respond. The Crime Reduction Unit doesn’t come here because it is needed elsewhere where the calls are coming from. Extra officers won’t come here if calls are not sent in. By not calling in, you are just harming your own community.” Both the RCMP and Camrose County council suggest that everyone who hears or sees a crime take place to phone in to the detachment or call 911 to attempt to reduce rural crime.

BRCF assists Augustana Lloyd Kenneth Johnson

Battle River Community Foundation director Stephen Kambeitz, left presents a cheque to Meghan Caldwell, Indigenous services coordinator at Augustana to supplement the cost of community members attending Building Capacity for Reconciliation Workshops. Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation recently awarded a grant of $1,500 to the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. The grant is from income from the Foundation’s Community Fund, created by donors to allow the Foundation Board to select charitable projects, programs and facilities from applications received from throughout the region. The Community Fund gives the Foundation flexibility to meet needs as they may emerge over time in the communities it serves. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, programs and facilities, such as those at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus 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 $6,467,000 to support community facilities and initiatives throughout the geography it serves.

May 7, 1936 ~ October 5, 2019 Lloyd Kenneth Johnson was born on May 7, 1936 in Bawlf, Alberta to Magnus and Judith Johnson. The family moved to Camp Wainwright in the late 1930s where Magnus helped build the army barracks for WWII. They moved to Camrose in about 1942 where Lloyd lived until he graduated from Camrose Lutheran College in 1954. He went to work as a technician at CFCW at the age of 19 years, where he assisted in the radio station startup and even got to be on air a few times. He worked in central Alberta and the Yukon Territory as an Air Traffic Controller before attending SAIT in Calgary. In February 1958, Lloyd began his 26-year career with AGT in Edmonton and married Lilas in May of the same year. Lloyd met Lilas at a bus stop at the corner of 79th Street and 82nd Avenue in Edmonton the year before. Their first home was in Allendale Trailer Park where Global Television now sits. They moved several times before building their home in Lendrum in 1962. A few of Dad’s hobbies were old cars and tinkering with anything mechanical. During the 1960s, Lloyd restored his 1930 Model A Ford Coupe, driving it out of the garage on Mother’s Day in 1967. They raised four kids, were heavily involved with the Lendrum Community League, Calvary Lutheran Church, the Edmonton Antique Car Club, Hastings Lake Lutheran Bible Camp and many of our school activities. The family spent many weekends and summer holidays camping, going to the farm, the Black Cat Guest Ranch, the family cabin and car club events. There were countless visits with friends and family that most often resulted in the Johnson family being one of the last to leave. After he retired from AGT in 1984, they moved to Camrose where he worked for Augustana for 12 years. In retirement, Lloyd was involved with the Camrose Museum and spent 30 years with the Reynolds Museum, where he earned his Steam Operator’s Licence. In 1989, Lloyd and Lilas went to Norway where they visited his dad’s birthplace in Lillehammer, as well as met extended family with whom he had connected a few years earlier. Lloyd enjoyed watching the family grow as the kids married and the grandkids and great-grandkids came along. His favourite time was spent with family and friends. Lloyd was a Gideon and a founding member of Resurrection Lutheran Brethren Church, of which he was so proud to see completed and dedicated in May 2018. Lloyd and Lilas also celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary that same year. He is survived by his loving wife Lilas; his four children Darryl (Judy), Bryan (Vina), Laurie (Jerry) and Jackie (Glenn); fourteen grandchildren Karyn (Mike), Stephanie (Chris), Chris, Joelle (Cam), Layton, Lynea, Mitchell, Spencer, Sean (Myrna), Ryan (Heather), Kyle, Ben, Tom (Nadine) and Emily; and twelve great-grandchildren Taylor, Brooklyn, Rylie, Carter, Morgan, Darryn, Macy, Aubrey, Kassidy, Frances, Jasper and Teagan. He was predeceased by his Dad Magnus, his mother Judith, and his sister Sonja. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 26, 2019 from Resurrection Lutheran Church with Rev. Greg Rokos officiating. Interment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends desire, memorial donations are gratefully accepted to Resurrection Lutheran Church Building Fund (Camrose, AB) or Hastings Lake Lutheran Bible Camp.

April 21, 1918 ~ October 13, 2019 We lovingly remember Alaire Oberg who passed away peacefully at the Galahad Care Centre on October 13, 2019 at the age of 101 years. Alaire was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on April 21, 1918. After her schooling in Forestburg and Normal School in Calgary, she started her career in 1936 in a one-room school at Bedford. She taught at Hastings Coulee, Daysland and Forestburg; then worked for the Edmonton Public System from 1954 to 1984 as teacher, principal and consultant; and was member of the College of Teachers, Phi Delta Kappa International and Delta Gamma Kappa. Alaire dedicated her life to education and music. She approached education with dedication and determination and achieved much success, influencing the lives of many. Her community involvement in Forestburg earned her the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in 2004 at age 86, and the Minister’s Seniors Service Award in 2016 at the age of 98. Alaire received this worthy status due to the fact she was held in high esteem as pianist for the Walter Johns Singers for 27 years, volunteered at the Villa and Galahad Care Centre, was a member of the Hospital Auxiliary, music festivals and was past member of the Community Hall Board. Alaire was a passionate and gifted musician; the piano played a pivotal role in her life. She was grateful for the wonderful, caring community of Forestburg and area in which she lived upon retirement. Alaire will always be remembered with love by numerous family members and the many wonderful lifelong friends she made along the way. She was predeceased by her husband Floyd; parents Otto and Mary Scheler; sister Shirley Sather; and brothers Hardy and Milton (Mickey) Scheler. Our sincere appreciation and thanks to the Galahad Care Centre nurses and staff for the loving care given Alaire. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial Donations can be made to the Galahad Care Centre or Battle River Community Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

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

Swimmers off to lifesaving festival By Lori Larsen

Camrose Sea Serpent Swim Club swimmers Ainsley Burnett and Rylun Alberg-Moore are gearing up to compete in the Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving 2019 to be held in Leeds, United Kingdom on Nov. 21 to 23. While both swimmers are members of the Camrose Sea Serpent swim club, they’ve also been actively involved and interested in lifesaving as training for actual emergent events and as a competitive sport. “I always wanted to play water polo but there was no team close enough,” said Ainsley when asked how she first became interested in the lifesaving sport. “A good friend of

swimming with tasks that simulate what a swimmer (competitor) would do in a lifesaving situation. “They use orange mannequins filled with water that weigh 80 pounds. They are placed at the bottom of pool and we have to swim down pick them up and tow them to the end or to safety.” In other instances the competitors are required to use the orange or yellow tubes lifeguards carry, swim to the mannequin, wrap the tube around the mannequin and tow them back or to safety. Ainsley said the most difficult race is rescue medley sprint of either 50 or 75 metres in 25 metre pool.

mine swam (in the sport) out of Wetaskiwin since she was around seven years old and that got me interested.” In September, Ainsley began her fifth year competing in the sport and is very excited to be able to compete on the Canadian developmental team against other countries, at the Commonwealth Festival. “Every two years it is Worlds and this year it is the Commonwealth competition of lifesaving. The developmental team is made up of younger swimmers that they are grooming for the national team,” said Ainsley. The sport of lifesaving takes competitive swimming to a whole other level combining endurance

“We have to swim three lengths in a short course 12.5 metres under water and in a long course 17.5 metres under water, we can not come up for air until we reach the mannequin. It is very difficult after you have sprinted, you are tired and out of breath.” Ainsley admitted she can swim 25 metres under water on one breath, but add to that sprinting 75 metres prior then having to bring up a mannequin and the challenge gets very real. “When the swimmers surface the crowd yells ‘You made it.” “When we went to Nationals there were no certain times to beat to be on national team. A committee looks at swimmers placements and if

they place high enough or medal multiple times, then they are considered for the team.” During regionals swimming competition Ainsley brought back six medals and during provincials three medals. Aside from her busy training schedule she is an honour student and attendant at the pool, and still manages to keep her head above water (pun intended). “It is important to try anything and don’t be afraid,” she advised. “When you find something you love keep going and strive to be the best you can be.” Fellow Sea Serpent swimmer and Lifesaving competitor Rylun AlbergMoore, a recent graduate of Wetaskiwin Composite High School and lifeguard at the Manluk Centre in Wetaskiwin, is no stranger to the competitive world of lifesaving sport. In 2018, he competed at the Lifesaving World Championships in Adelaide, South Australia. During the 2019 Commonwealth Festival of Lifesaving event, he will be competing with the regular junior team. “I have been doing lifesaving since I was eightyears-old,” said Rylun. Since the completion of Swim Club in August, Rylun has been training three to four hours daily in preparation for the Commonwealth Festival. When asked why he chose the sport of lifesaving, he replied with a smile. “I am good at it. I really fell in love with the sport as soon as I started it.” Besides the motivation to stay involved and in condition Rylun enjoys the sport because it is more interactive–hands on. “There are a lot more variables involved in the sport. Rylun advises that being involved in sports teaches discipline, but being involved in swimming is especially important because everybody should know how to swim. “It’s a skill that can be used in a life or death situation. As a lifeguard, (which Rylun has been doing for almost two years), I see the results of children not being able to swim so I feel it is vital for everyone, especially children, to know how to swim.” Rylun left on Oct. 14 for Leeds so he could train before the rest of the team arrived. Both competitors will give it their all and while they admit winning is always a bonus beating their own personal goals and having the opportunity to compete in a world pool is worth the hard work and dedication.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster At the start of the race, the Augustana female cross-country team got a head start.

Green paces Vikings at cross-country run By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings will be heading into provincials with individual and team medals on the line. Reese Bendiksen placed fifth for Augustana in a time of 25:22 over six kilometres. The Norway student is striving for the top three individual honours at this weekend’s provincials. “I decided to go to Augustana because I have relatives around here and I love the area. In Norway, I usually run in mountain races, so I like cross-country running,” shared Reese. “The season has gone well so far, hoping to keep improving over the season. The trails here are the best, so it is a good test before the finals. I hope my finish here gives me confidence going into provincials,” she added. “I’m working on going faster in the second half of the race. I’m used to the hills here. I want our team to advance to Canadians.” Catherine Alcorn crossed the line in 13th, Anne Mirejovsky came in 16th, Anika Chessal placed 24th, Linda Raduner finished 25th and Sarah Hicks was 27th to give the Vikings third place in the team event. Third-year student Michio Green placed second in the Augustana eight-kilometre run with a time of 27:30, which was 16 seconds faster than the third Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference runner. “The season has been great. I trained a lot over the summer to help improve. We also have a lot of good firstyear runners to give us a larger team,” said Michio. “This is one of the biggest races in the ACAC and the community is out, so it gives it more importance. A lot of open runners attend this race, so it is very competitive and they push the pace for us, but we also have wonderful trails. It’s hilly, so it is a tough course,” he added. “It is a good test because everyone is trying to peak for nationals. My goal is top three, hopefully second. I want to remain consistent. The first place runner is untouchable for me because he is so fast. I want our team to do well and overall have a good finish,” said Michio. “I’ve always enjoyed running, but lately I’ve become more competitive.” He came from Saskatchewan to Augustana to be in biathlon. Running helps him prepare for the winter season. He will also be contesting the individual top three in provincials. Augustana runners Nathanael Tabert crossed the line in eighth, Benjamin Osorio came in 17th, Ben Nawrot was 19th, Noah Day placed 21st and Dawson French was 23rd to give the Vikings third place in the team event. Provincials will be on Oct. 26 hosted by SAIT in Calgary.

Jensen keeps 1928 Ford in the family By Murray Green

Tammy Jensen of Ferintosh owns a 1928 Ford Model A soft top roadster. “The car was my grandfather’s and then my father’s and now for the last 10 years it has been passed down to me,” Tammy explained about getting the car passed down through several generations. “It has been in the family for 92 years. And, hopefully it will be going to my children and grandchildren.” Tammy enjoys the blast from the past. “I love antiques and I still use my aunt’s wood stove for cooking. I should have been born back then. It’s precious and it gives me a good feeling when I’m riding in it. You don’t get that feeling driving anything else.” The Ford Model A was the Ford Motor Company’s second market success after its predecessor, the Model T. “I didn’t receive any rides in the car until I was in my 20s when my dad took it over. My grandfather (William Spooner) lived a fair ways away from us, so I don’t remember any rides before that,” said Tammy. The Model A was first produced on Oct. 20, 1927, but not introduced until Dec. 2, it replaced the venerable Model T, which had been produced for 18 years. This new Model A was designated a 1928 model and

FUN FACTS

The Model A came in a wide variety of styles, including a Coupe (standard and deluxe), Business Coupe, Sport Coupe, Roadster Coupe (standard and deluxe), convertible Cabriolet, convertible Sedan, Phaeton (standard and deluxe), Tudor Sedan (standard and deluxe), Town Car, Fordor (five-window standard, three-window deluxe), Victoria, Town Sedan, station wagon, taxicab, truck and commercial. The very rare Special Coupe started production around March 1928 and ended mid-1929. The Model A was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle, and gearshift. The Model A’s fuel tank was situated in the cowl, between the engine compartment’s fire wall and the dash panel. It had a visual fuel gauge and the fuel flowed to the carburetor by gravity. A rear-view mirror was optional. In cooler climates, owners could purchase an aftermarket cast iron unit to place over the exhaust manifold to provide heat to the cab. A small door provided adjustment of the amount of hot air entering the cab. The Model A was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield.

Edberg and New Norway because I like to keep everything running. I do some charitable events and give rides to veterans to give it attention. It is a good eye catcher for those kinds of events,” added Tammy. By February 4, 1929, one million Model As had been sold, and by July 24, two million. “When I got the car, it had been sitting for awhile. The water pump was seized and I have nearly an entire engine of parts that I replaced. When I got it running, I took it to a war veteran’s place in Red Deer. When I came back I had to push it in the garage because the starter went on it,” recalled Tammy. The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US $500 (in grey, red, green, or black) to the Town Car with a dual cowl at US $1,200. “Other than a bent rim (I found a new one and painted it), I haven’t done a lot to it. The gas filter rusted away, so I replaced that. I cleaned out the gas tank and put in all new screens

and filters. I cleaned the carb and did all of this last year,” she said. “It is running better than ever. This year I’m driving it without my best friend. She was my co-pilot and I miss her dearly.”

The car has changed names over the years. “I used to call it the Spoonermobile, but now it is Jensen. It has sentimental value to me. I adore my dad, who is 82 this year, and this vehicle means a lot to me.”

What goes around comes around By Lori Larsen

A recent turn of events at a Camrose restaurant proves that our world truly is, in a non-literal way, getting smaller. In August of this year, Dwayne Stifter, owner/operator of the Monte Carlo restaurant in Camrose, had the pleasure of dealing with a couple dining at the restaurant, during the lunch hour, who presented a rather dated gift certificate. “I guess I was lucky that I was at the front counter, because once there was mention of the gift certificate with no expiry date, I knew right away who the couple were and what the story behind the gift certificate was.” The story began on New Year’s Day in 2002, when the “then” owners of the Monte Carlo restaurant, Teresa and Calvin Lewis, were cleaning up after New Year’s celebrations and decided to let their

daughter Amanda release some heliumfilled decorative balloons. As the balloons quickly disappeared out of sight, the Lewis family thought little more of it until a fax message arrived at the restaurant almost five months later. The message was from Fraser Kirkpatrick and Dan Hull, two men who had been traversing the Black River in Manitoba on a canoe trip, when they discovered a shiny object (some of the deflated balloons released by the Lewis family) hanging precariously above the river in a dead tree. The two men tried to retrieve the balloons, but were only successful in snagging a few of the Monte Carlo business cards attached, which lead them to the fun, albeit somewhat bizarre message, to the Monte Carlo owners and staff.

According to the two men, back then that part of the Black River was rarely explored and if the dead tree had not towered some 40 feet about the river, the balloons would likely have continued on their journey. Instead they rested in the tree after a 1,200 kilometre flight that began a whole other journey of sorts. Delighted by the men’s story, Teresa Lewis sent Kirkpatrick and Hull some photos of Camrose and the Monte Carlo, two copies of the issue of The Camrose Booster that ran a story on the amazing journey and a $100 gift certificate redeemable at the restaurant, should either of them ever pay a visit. Fast forward 18 years later, and the couple presenting the gift certificate at the restaurant was none other than Hull and companion Carol. Dwayne bought them lunch, dated the original gift certificate, which he noted was still in perfect condition because it had been put it in a photo album, then returned it to the couple to keep as a souvenir. What started out as a whim on New Year’s Day quite literally brought people miles apart, closer together.

KidSport needs help By Lori Larsen

KidSport Camrose has been helping the children and youth of Camrose and area since 2013 by providing funding for children and youth who may have otherwise been unable to participate in organized sports and other activities, but this year, the organization faces challenges. “Our biggest issue right now is the need has gone up and we are at risk of denying applications,” said Camrose KidSport president Kristy Smith. The organization is falling short on funds and is looking to the community to provide some help in any way they can and in the manner this community has come to be known for—reaching out when the going gets tough. Run by a completely volunteer board with every dollar being donated back to the community’s children/youth in need, KidSport is working hard to continue with fundraising efforts and find new ways to ensure the sustainability of the program. “The board members are coming up with some new ideas, along with tried and true fundraisers,” said Smith. “But we are asking the community for any suggestions on fundraisers that will create continuity instead of every year trying to find new initiatives.” The organization is still having the annual Christmas Raffle, having lowered the ticket price this year to attract more sales, and tickets are selling, but the fear is it alone will not sustain the applications for assistance, which Smith said has already increased over last year. This year’s Christmas Raffle prize consists of: a Google Pixel XL 128 GB (value $1,200 retail), two round trip airline tickets (value approximate $1,000 each), two three-day passes plus kickoff to BVJ (value $725 retail), Edmonton Oilers Evening Out, two tickets to Dec. 20 game against Pittsburgh Penguins plus two Connor McDavid jerseys ($450 value), Premium Apparel gift certificate ($300 value) and Premium Auto Detailing ($300 value). Tickets are available through Camrose KidSport and will also be sold at the Nov. 23 and Dec. 6 Camrose Kodiaks game at the Encana Arena. The draw for the raffle will be made on Saturday, Dec. 7 dur-

ing the Camrose Kodiaks Game (Encana Arena). Winner takes all. “We are getting some assistance from the Hockey Helpers program through Hockey Alberta and the Camrose Kodiaks,” explained Smith. “We will be receiving $10,000 a year for the next two years to go towards applicants for hockey only.” Smith indicated that four local businesses also chipped in to assist with the Hockey Helper program. “Norsemen Inn, McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC, Vision Credit Union and National

Superstorage are matching dollars to help.” The volunteer board of four members contributes a great deal of time and effort to not only provide the KidSport program, but come up with new initiatives to ensure the program’s sustainability, which Smith admits is becoming more and more difficult. “We are always looking for people to join our board. Specifically, we need people to assist us with grant writing, fundraising and a sustainability plan.” Looking ahead, the board is considering hosting a fun pub night with

entertainment and a silent auction and will be holding the annual spring Bike Swap. Smith said the Bike Swap program covers the low administration expenses and is a great community service that provides opportunities for families to acquire bikes at a low cost. “If you are thinking of getting rid of your bikes, contact us. Hang on to them until the spring because we can use them.” Another initiative the board is pursuing is a partnership with local sports organizations to include a

fee ($2 to $5) tacked onto the different sport organizations’ registration forms that would go directly to KidSport. The proposed program would include an Opt In or Opt Out option. “The demand is so high every year and we put tons of money back into the community, so we are hoping they (local sports organizations) may be able to add to this, which will work towards the sustainability of KidSport.” For more information on Camrose KidSport, visit the Facebook page or the website at kidsportcanada. ca/alberta/camrose/.

Mother’s faith and love kept family ties strong over years By Lori Larsen

Family, whether it be biological or by choice, can be an invaluable source of support, comfort and love, and despite the possibility of disagreements, they are, more often than not, in it for the long haul. Ninety-years old, and still full of youth and vibrance, LaRue Cullum knows all too well the importance of family. Since 1974, mostly every year, LaRue and the surviving siblings of originally 12, have been getting together in June for a family reunion, at least every other year in Camrose where the entire family once lived. She was the first child of 12 children born to parents Ann Elizabeth and Gilbert Murphy, and learned early in life, by the guidance of her mother’s faith and prayers, that through thick and thin her siblings have always been and continue to be there for her. At one point, 11 of the 12 children (five girls and seven boys) were in school together in Camrose at the same time. “That was my last year,” said LaRue. “I was in grade 12 and my youngest brother Duane began school that year and the twins (Lynwood and Mona) were in grade two.” LaRue seemed to recall

the school the other children attended was the Hillside School, while she was finishing off her schooling at Charlie Killam. “They (Charlie Killam School) had a girls’ and boys’ entrance,” she smiled. “We weren’t segregated, but girls and boys had their own entrances. Maybe that was so the girls didn’t get bowled over.”

occurred, he lost his position and the family moved to the grandparents’ home in Sundre. After the Depression in 1940-41, her father was called back to work. He ended up bidding on and being successful in getting a job in Camrose where the family eventually moved. “We were here for about two years then transferred

to the BC branch, I was getting married (to her husband of 49 years Dwight Cullum, since deceased). “I told my mom, I am tired of moving. Dwight asked me to marry him so I am marrying him,” she laughed. LaRue never looked back and has remained in Camrose until this day. Last year in June, the surviving siblings (eight of nine, the sister living in the United States was unable to attend) got together in Camrose for their annual family reunion and again this year. The family gathered at the Norsemen Inn where they had a family dinner and a get-together in a hospitality room after. “It was a good time. Laughs, a few tears and lots of ‘remember whens,” Submitted remarked LaRue. The Murphy siblings still gather for family reunions. Only seven of the LaRue is seated second from left. remaining siblings were able to attend LaRue’s mother and out, then came back to this year, but it didn’t stop father immigrated to Can- Camrose.

British Columbia. leaving and a lady walked When the Depression “When Dad transferred over and said ‘You must be

a family reunion, the boys all look alike.’” LaRue’s eyes lit up every time she spoke of her siblings, remembering the harder times as well as the good times and appreciating that through all these years, they have remained as tight as they were when they were children. As the eldest, LaRue was often charged with taking care of the younger children. “My mom said she had her babysitter first. They have been part of my life, all of theirs,” said LaRue, with a degree of melancholy. And in part, LaRue was a big part of what kept the family so close over the years, that and the strong faith in God and gracious will of her mother, of whom she speaks very highly. “I never saw my mother upset or angry about the moves. She was a wonderful mom, one of a kind.” LaRue’s own legacy lives on strong with four of her own children, nine grandchildren, 21 greatgrandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. It is hard to imagine that a family born in that day has grown in size, but are still able to remain so close both in distance and in heart.

Bethany receives new shower chair By Murray Green

The Royal Canadian Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary AB NWT Command and District 3 Commander Joyce McVee presented $5,000 to The Bethany Group to go towards purchasing a new shower chair for residents in the Louise Jensen Care Centre and other items they need.

Legion LA Command alternates giving donations to even and uneven numbered districts each year. “This is my last duty as district commander and it is in my own community. Louise Jensen was a member of the Ladies’ Auxiliary and got me involved in the Legion,” explained Joyce.

“Our singing group, Joyce and Friends, sing every week for residents and the group is made up of Legion Branch #57 members.” The donations for the chair come from the local branch and other branches across Alberta and Northwest Territories.

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.

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. 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.

Check your trees for harmful signs By Murray Green

It is important to detect invasive species in Canada. Canadians are encouraged to check their property for pests and report any sightings to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Canadians are encouraged to check their trees and gardens, or property they frequent, for signs of insects, disease and fungi that harm plants. Invasive species cause serious damage to our economy and environment. Early detection is always better.

In recent years, Canadians have discovered some of the largest invasive threats to Canada. Pests like hemlock woolly adelgid, Asian longhorned beetle and emerald ash borer in new areas, were often first found by Canadians who reported them to CFIA. Reporting to a CFIA local office, or online if a pest is discovered, helps CFIA direct teams to where they are needed most and respond before pests can spread. CFIA’s invasive pest cards and plant pest sheets provide information

Always better – Always better read!

on what to look for and what to report. Those wishing to learn more about invasive pests are encouraged to follow CFIA on social media for updates on pest movements and pest reporting. “Protecting the environment is everyone’s business. Initiatives like Tree Check Month empower Canadians to protect their communities from habitat loss caused by invasive species. Reporting pests before they reach our farms and forests not only prevents environmental damage, but also protects thousands of well-

paying jobs in agriculture and forestry,” said MarieClaude Bibeau, Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Keeping invasive pests out is a team effort to protect our natural environment, forestry, agriculture and economy. Canadians play an important role in detecting plant pests and limiting their spread,” added Dr. Bill Anderson, chief plant health officer for Canada and executive director, Plant Health and Biosecurity, CFIA. CFIA works with the United Nations and other partners at home and abroad to set science-based standards to protect agricultural, forest and other plant resources from regulated plant pests, while facilitating trade. When a pest is found in a new area, CFIA confirms the pest’s identity and works with provincial/territorial, municipal and other partners to determine the geographic spread, investigate the source and put in place measures to control and, when appropriate, eradicate the pest. Invasive pests often

hitchhike under the bark of untreated firewood. That’s why it’s important to buy and burn local or heat-treated firewood. Don’t move firewood. There are also rules and best practices for industry to follow to minimize the risk of spreading invasives. Some of CFIA’s pests of concern include the emerald ash borer, which has spread to Manitoba and is moving west. Hemlock woolly adelgid is threatening the tree cover of Nova Scotia and has recently been found in the Niagara area of Ontario. Oak wilt is established in the United States and, given its proximity, is a risk. Spotted lanternfly has not yet been found in Canada, but is on the watch list. Japanese beetle is established in parts of the country, namely British Columbia. Box tree moth was found last year and Asian long-horned beetle can be difficult to spot at this time of year and is in the Toronto area.

Shallow gas tax relief initiative assists County By Murray Green

Camrose County administrator Paul King brought forward information that the Alberta minister of municipal affairs announced a one-time, extraordinary support for the shallow gas industry due to what they characterize as unfair assessment levels caused by an out-ofdate assessment process, at the regular meeting on Oct. 8. After hearing the plans for the gas tax relief, councillor Doug Lyseng moved that Camrose County council authorize, pursuant to section 347 of the Municipal Government Act, the cancellation and/ or refund of the 2019 property taxes paid or owing so as to reduce by 35 per cent property taxes.” That is tax levied as per the Municipal Government Act, which includes municipal property taxes, requisitions detailed as well as special taxes levied where the tax rate is based on the assessment. Shallow gas wells after the 35 per cent adjustment brings the total to $197,942. The shallow gas well pipelines total is $172,527. Camrose County council canceled and/or refunded the tax penalties associated with the 2019 property taxes levied for a total of $86,522. Kaycee Madu, Alberta Minister of Municipal Affairs indicated that economic mismanagement from the previous administration combined with low commodity prices have left natural gas producers on the brink of bankruptcy. As part of government’s overall action plan, immediate steps will be taken to work with municipalities to reduce 2019 taxes on shallow gas wells and pipelines.
