Be part of the kooky, upside-down world of the Addams Family on the Bailey Theatre stage, presented by the Churchmice Players Society.

The Addams children are growing up. Gomez and Morticia, like many parents nearing that empty-nest stage, don’t quite know how to deal with it.

Worse yet, their daughter Wednesday wants the family to act “normal” when her boyfriend’s parents come to dinner. In one fateful, hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.

Opening Night Halloween Special is on October 31 at 7 p.m.

Costume prizes, treats and a photo booth area will be part of the festivities.

Dinner theatres are on November 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 with dinner at 6 p.m. and show at 7 p.m.

Matinées are on November 3 and 10 with shows beginning at 2 p.m.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Cindy Trautman, left, takes the oath to serve Camrose County as the reeve with administrator Paul King witnessing the historic event on Oct. 22.

By Murray Green

Cindy Trautman of New Norway and Division 2 is the new reeve of Camrose County.

After serving 12 years as the reeve of Camrose County, Don Gregorwich declined to let his name stand for nomination from councillor Jack Lyle at the organizational meeting on Oct. 22. Gregorwich nominated Trautman and will continue to be the councillor for Division 3 and the Kelsey-Rosalind area.

“I declare that Cindy Trautman has been elected the reeve of Camrose County,” said administrator Paul King.

“This is a historic day with Don stepping down as reeve. He was the longest serving reeve of Camrose County and Cindy is the first lady to take the position as reeve,” shared Paul.

“Thank you, Don. It has been a pleasure to work with you as reeve over the past 12 years. Thanks for your guidance and steady hand on the ship, we really appreciate that from the staff. Now we look forward to working with Cindy.”

At the organizational meeting, council also established that regular meetings will take place the second and fourth Tuesdays of the

month. In January to April and October to December, the meetings will begin at 9:30 a.m. During the busy spring and summer season of May to September, the meetings will begin at 8:30 a.m.

They also agreed to set the mileage rate at $0.54 cents a kilometre and per diem rates for representatives at large on committees.

Reeve Trautman took over the reins immediately on Oct. 22 and chaired the regular meeting, also on Oct. 22. Councillor Doug Lyseng was appointed the deputy reeve. Greg Gillespie was named the Agricultural Service Board chairman.

FUEL GOOD DAY

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Co-op gas stations across western Canada raised more than $685,000 for 180 charities and non-profit organizations on Fuel Good Day. In Camrose, Wild Rose Co-op donated $2,137 to the Churchmice Players.

Shelter from the storm

Tim Shoults of the Kamloops This Week wrote a piece that resonated with the Camrose Booster team. Shoults described the childhood experience of his family huddling in the basement while a tornado ripped through Edmonton on July 31, 1987.

Dozens were killed and there was massive property damage. His family was okay.

He goes on: “Sometimes when I look at my chosen trade of community media, I think about that. There’s no doubt we are in the midst of a storm. Will it sweep us aside or pass us by?”

It’s no secret that local media and print media face challenges. What is less known is that newspaper readership is actually increasing.

In a national survey in 2012, 85 per cent of Canadians reported they read newspapers on any platform over the course of a week. In 2019, that number climbed to 88 per cent. The 2019 survey also found that 83 per cent of newspaper readers access some of their newspaper content online. But that’s not instead of print readership.

It’s supplementing it.

As an example, you can read the Booster’s print version or access it online. Other information is on the Camrose Now! app or the Booster’s Facebook page.

Tim Shoults explains the challenge. “The problem is how it all gets paid for. The local advertising dollars that support journalism are being sucked up by two massive foreign corporations–Facebook and Google.

“There’s no doubt the power of Facebook and Google have to reach local people in the community. But you won’t see a reporter from Google in your city council chambers. And Facebook won’t sponsor your community’s campaign to build that new arts centre.

“And it’s not just our business model that’s been disrupted. The local businesses that support us with their advertising also face disruption from that same media.

Ask any retailer…”

I know what Shoults is talking about. People come into stores, try on clothes, flip through books, check out equipment and then order it from Amazon. Sometimes they have the gall to pull out their phones and order it right there in the store.

Amazon does not pay local taxes, make donations to local organizations, volunteer for local causes, or buy things from local businesses. It sucks out revenue and gives nothing back to the community.

Newspapers help communities. In the early days when newcomers began to settle on the prairies, communities formed. Some grew and some didn’t. Among communities that survived and grew, a consistent factor was a local newspaper–a communication vehicle for citizens and businesses. When this paper was being created from the germ of an idea in 1952, it didn’t yet have a name.

My parents asked their four children for ideas. “What will the paper do?” one child asked. Our dad said, “Well, it will boost the community by telling people what’s going on, and boost local businesses by giving them a place to advertise what they sell.”

One child said, “You could call it the Booster.” That’s still the mission. In its 67 years, the Booster has overcome numerous challenges, from cash flow to government policy to technology changes. Those challenges continue and they get handled. But, for the Booster and all the other locally-owned community businesses, the biggest challenges now are not from local or even national sources.

The biggest challenges are from Google, Facebook and Amazon. What’s certain is that those mega-giants are not going away. What’s not certain is whether locally-owned businesses can survive. Does it matter?

I’ll go back to Shoults: “The definition of community has changed dramatically. It used to be defined simply by geography. The Internet and the rise of social media has redefined community to be anyone, connected anywhere by shared interest. “But geographic community–where we choose to live–still matters. And it needs support. Reading local and making deliberate choices to shop local, is how to do it. That’s our shelter from the storm.” ***

Money waste

Well, well, well. I have to believe the engineering dept. must have found a money tree behind City Hall, because once again we are throwing money around like drunken sailors. Why did they have to rip up a perfect concrete walking path on the south side of the new bridge and replace the concrete with asphalt? Makes absolutely no sense to do this.

Another rant is on the ugly eyesore at the north end of Main Street, between the Alice and Windsor Hotels. I believe the engineering department must have a vision that within a couple of years, we will all be driving smart cars because this is about the space that is left. I think they forgot this is an agriculture city and there are still big trucks that use this truck route.

I do firmly believe that someone, either the engineers or City Council, has to be held financially responsible for the idiotic projects they undertake at the expense of the taxpayers of this great city.

One final question for the engineering dept.

When will the swimming pool be completed and how many more millions is it going to take to complete?

Louie Hagel, Camrose Plastic

Down at Centra Cam, we see some big square bales of plastic. Being an old country boy, looks like they could be used to make sturdy cattle shelters or maybe silage bunkers.

I will send along a short tribute I wrote to an old farmer some years ago.

Tribute

It is the smell of new tilled soil. Out early spring farming the hilltops, anticipating a new growing season, having faith the rain will fall on the crops.

Camping out with family or friends with folks from across the sea, being proud of your heritage and to cherish them all in memory.

To service and operate farm machinery. The satisfactions of building a shop tool or making the grade with things made from lessons learned in the old school.

It is knowing after a lifetime of learning you have not lost that light in your eye, they say some men never live. Ah...but then some will never die.

Jeff Strandquist, Camrose

retaining the respect given its Head of State.

Therefore, God Save the Queen.

Election over

Thank you for making the cover page available to Sahakarini once again, this time on Oct. 22. We certainly appreciate the fine support from The Booster over the many years and appreciate how you support the broader community.

The photo with Laura Parker, Varghese Manaloor and Maya Rathnavalu riding the red antique bicycle of founding member, Jane Ross, together with the sandals of founding member Gordon Schieck, speaks of our theme of movement.

Thank you.

Sahakarini was the brain child of Drs. Jane and Jack Ross, Rev. Gordon and Mina Schieck, together with Norm and Eloise Umbach. It is due to their foresight, planning skills, and their ability to create, in the minds and hearts of the community, an idea that grew wings and legs that has benefitted many people around the world over the past 40 years.

Thank you to these pioneers and their vision, and to all who followed and took up the challenge, thanks to the community for your support. Because of our partnership over the past 40 years, children and youth have been educated, women have received training in income generation, families have access to health care, the result of which is a better, more productive and healthy life for all whose lives have been impacted in India, Nepal, Tanzania, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Guatemala among other places.

Here at home, we too have benefitted from the opportunity to work with and on behalf of others.

Forty years have passed, the future is before us.

You are invited to join us.

The great election of 2019 is over. Since Alberta voters voted the province out of the decision making process, a group is proposing the creation of a new nation. This group wants two revolutionary changes; namely creation of a new nation

by Western Canada succeeding from Canada, and secondly by severing our connection with the monarchy by the creation of the new nation, the Republic of Western Canada.

The creation of a new nation is open to debate with arguments on both sides of the question, but why should we sever our relationship with the crown? Queen Elizabeth is the most respected person in the world.

A few years ago when Pope John XXIII or Pope John Paul II were alive that could be debated, but since those prelates are gone, it is accepted that Her Majesty is the most respected person in the whole entire world.

Why would we wish to exchange our Head of State with an overweight, over-aged, has-been politician for the most respected person in the world? As a new nation on the stage, which Head of State would command more respect?

Queen Elizabeth has filled her great position for 67 years, never putting a foot even a little wrong. The independence group now wishes to thank her by dismissing her. Or maybe they wish to adopt the American system of having one person being both the Head of State and Head of Government. It appears possible that Donald Trump will be impeached, so he might be available to take on the position.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has earned the respect she enjoys and some of that respect is transferred to each of the 18 nations of which she is Queen. If Western Canada became a nation, it could be number 19 thus

Great community

Ruth E. Jensen, president Sahakarini

through the pages of The Booster

25 Years Ago This Week – from Nov. 1, 1994 edition • Wardrobe Unique, owned by June Becker and Clarice Jury, was named 1994 Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year.

• Camrose City Council voted narrowly in favour to provide financial assistance to Augustana University College in their plans to build a new library. They pledged $125,000 per year for five years, starting in 1997.

• Twenty-six Camrosians elected to accept an Alberta Government Telephones voluntary severance package.

Sarah Taillieu and her family visited Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in August 2019.

Lunenburg Harbour (above), home of the famous Bluenose, is a UNESCO heritage site where many of the historic buildings are preserved. The Lunenburg townsite was built by the British in 1753 and would quickly become known as a major shipbuilding centre, with local mills supplying the wood needed to build some of the most impressive sailing ships ever designed. Among these was the famous Bluenose, a fishing and racing schooner built in 1921, that would remain undefeated in international racing for 17 years.

Thanks Sarah Taillieu, of New Norway, for this photo! Your $20.00 cheque is in the mail!

50 Years Ago This Week – from Oct. 28, 1969 edition • Calgary Power’s proposal to build a 10” pipeline from Dried Meat Lake to Camrose was countered

by City Council. City representatives proposed the line to be 12” in diameter.

• The return of public transportation in Camrose, after a fifteen year absence, came in the form of a 32 passenger converted school bus, offering six trips daily, to shopping areas, Monday though Saturday. Not a single client took advantage of the service on day one of the operation.

• A full page ad for a “stereo record sale” at Woolworths for $5.29 ea., featured artists such as Glen Campbell, Jim Reeves, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Dean Martin, Englebert Humperdink and Led Zeppelin.

Transportation options for seniors Submitted on behalf of Camrose Seniors Coalition

How readily and easily we access resources impacts our entire wellbeing. We all have to access transportation in order to participate in our health care, community, daily living tasks and help others as well. Camrose is considered a rural community, and easy access to transportation continues to be a challenge. For the most part, we are a walkable city during the walkable seasons. Once the snow flies and stays put, it is a good time to check out other transportation options within and outside Camrose.

We have the Camrose Community Bus. This is a convenient and inexpensive means to get where you need to go within Camrose. Transit schedules are available online and at bus stops. At $2 one way, you can’t beat it. The bus stops at Duggan Mall, DynaLIFE, Walmart, St. Mary’s Hospital, the Mirror Lake Centre and other places. The bus is able to accommodate those with mobility issues and has

friendly, helpful drivers.

The bus has a fixed route service running hourly from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

We have taxis in Camrose. The Taxi Token program is a City of Camrose initiative that provides support for those with financial difficulties. A token is worth $4 and can be used to discount the rider’s taxi or Handivan fare. Seniors can pick up tokens from the SOS Program or CDSS. Not all taxi companies honour the taxi tokens, so it is important to inquire when booking if they subscribe to the token program.

We have the Camrose Carpool, which is a new program facilitated by the City of Camrose. This idea has the potential to be a fantastic addition to transportation options.

Easily accessed through Facebook, this ride sharing service will be of interest to folks needing a ride within the City and County of Camrose. For more information, call Nicole Bouillon at 780-672-4428.

We have the Cam-

rose Connector which is a partnership between Red Arrow and the City of Camrose that provides intercity service to Edmonton. This shuttle has comfortable seating, a washroom and is wheelchair accessible. Ticket prices are $20 one way and service runs Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. The stops are fixed, but if you are interested in using this option for medical travel to Edmonton, there are agencies that will meet you at the bus stop and take you further to your appointment, as well as return you to the bus stop to ensure you make it home safely.

“Your Good Company” offers this service–call Susan Skaret at 780-299-9094 for more information.

You can also call seniors assisted “Drive Happiness” at 780-424-5438.

Uber is also an option (you have to download the phone app and take it from there). Edmonton Transit is another option and Edmonton has many taxi companies.

Handivan drivers are kind and helpful and Maureen in the office is sure to make you smile. Try to give them a week’s notice when you call to book your trip. For more information, call 780-672-8777.

Medical travel to Edmonton is also available.

We have the good people at Camrose Neighbor Aid, which has a list of volunteer drivers (they always welcome new driv-

You may have friends and family who are always an option–it is not an imposition to reach out for help.

Most of our friends and family would be more than pleased to be asked with lots of notice and flexibility, which are always key.

Transportation is about more than just moving people from point A to point B. It’s also a system that can either limit or expand the opportunities available to people, based on where they live.”

Hospice offers various services

By Lori Larsen

On Oct. 16 the Hospice Society of Camrose and District (HSCD) held their annual General Meeting with over 34 people in attendance.

President of HSCD board Pam Cummer welcomed guests on behalf of the board. “Your attendance tonight expresses your interest in hospice palliative care. It demonstrates the exact reasons why the hospice society has seen tremendous growth in community interest, in programming and in volunteer engagement as we meet the needs of individuals in Camrose and surrounding areas.”

Cummer recalled the early days of the Hospice Society, with its beginnings in 2011 of obtaining society and charitable status and beginning training of the first volunteers in 2012.

“A year later we hired a fabulous volunteer coordinator–Joy Leblanc. Shortly afterwards, Bill Harder was brought on board in the role of program coordinator. From that point on, hospice has grown!”

Hospice offerings

Cummer described the many programs and services offered by the Hospice.

The Wednesday morning Grief Walks are facilitated by volunteer Nicole Luft and see between eight and 15 walkers every Wednesday.

Grief and Bereavement Workshops are offered by Donna Lynne Erickson and Colette Howery, trained grief facilitators. Thus far, there have been 33 workshops attended by 790 participants.

Men’s Cooking Circle is a program designed by Bill Harder. The Hospice works in partnership with Alberta Health Services, Safeway/Sobeys, The Open Door, and community facilitators. The program has received interest across the province.

A Daytime Support Group was held last winter, similar to the evening support group offered by St. Mary’s Hospital (SMH), at the hospice office, to meet the needs of grieving individuals in the community who preferred to attend an afternoon session. Nine people participated.

The Art for the Heart after school program for grieving children ages six to 12 was introduced this year. Facilitated by Bill Harder and Nikki Featherstone, a registered art therapist, the program was supported by the Family Violence Action Society and a Milestones Grant aimed at meeting the needs of

mental health issues for children. “This program met the needs of 17 grieving children and their families in our communities,” noted Cummer. As a followup to these groups, a series of drop-in afternoon sessions were attended by 12 participants.

Beginning this fall, the Suicide-Grief Support Group for anyone 18 years and older who has been affected by suicide, was co-facilitated by Camrose Mental Health Association administrator Jenn Pilot and Hospice’s Bill Harder. The Care Coalition in Camrose covered the costs of snacks and supplies for the 10-week program.

Through strong connection with Battle River School Division, Elk Island Catholic School Division and Wetaskiwin Region Public School Division, HSCD is offering training to staff to enable them to support grieving children.

Harder also offers one-onone support to the students and has made himself available to the schools in times of emergency situations, when the loss of a student or teacher has impacted everyone.

“As a result of donations from the community event in memory of the Humbolt Broncos, the HSCD purchased supplies for Grief Buckets for the schools to enable them to better support grieving children,” noted Cummer.

Volunteers

Presently, HSCD has a contingent of 80 volunteers coordinated by Leblanc.

“Our volunteers attend an initial 16-hour training weekend that is supplemented throughout the year with additional sessions.”

As well, several online training modules are being offered to volunteers.

Support is offered to individuals in their homes, hospitals and in supportive living facilities. On a weekly basis, the volunteers take a tea cart through SMH offering tea and cookies to patients and families.

“I have witnessed volunteers reading and singing to patients as they offer support,” smiled Cummer.

The Nav-Care (navigating, connecting, accessing, resourcing and engaging) program is also supported by the Hospice Society. The goal of Nav-Care is to improve the quality of life of individuals with advanced chronic illness.

“Through trained volunteers, the outcome of NavCare is that navigation services provide support, education and connection to resources in the com-

munity to help individuals improve their quality of life and remain in their communities,” explained Cummer. This program recently received provincial recognition.

A group of HSCD volunteers have also been trained as grief companions for individuals. Joan Willoughby (HSCD volunteer) also offers a Caregiver Support Group twice monthly at the Hospice office.

Cummer reported that HSCD has many supportive partnerships throughout Camrose and the community with other stakeholders addressing the well being of residents. “These partnerships are important and valuable to the provision of hospice care in Camrose.”

Cummer said that the Hospice Society continues to have a strong presence in many aspects of Camrose and surrounding communities with presentations and offerings of training.

Fundraising continues to support the many services and programs and includes the annual Fashion Show event, Hike For Hospice and Lights to Remember.

“The words ‘hospice care’ mean a special type of care that focuses on quality of life for an individual facing a life-threatening illness,” said Cummer. “This is the work that we do every day. Our volunteers carry that compassionate, caring attitude with them every day in whatever they are doing, and that is why all our volunteers are the face of hospice.”

In speaking of the possibility of one day having a Hospice building in Camrose Cummer said, “The board is open to discussions with their partners in regards to a hospice in Camrose and we are keen to enhance End of Life care in this province and with this government, in any way we can. And when the hospice building becomes a reality, we will have all the programming in place to make it a success.

“The staff and volunteers of the HSCD have helped to build a compassionate community here in Camrose, and we are proud of that. We are proud of our dynamic staff, of our programming and of our large group of dedicated volunteers. We are making an impact in the communities we serve as we meet the needs of people.”

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

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

Mah wards off entities

By Lori Larsen

“ARACNIATTACK”

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Fourteen-year-old Nolan Schneider wards off an attack from a giant arachnid strategically placed in his front yard to give trick-or-treaters a little scare on Halloween night. Nolan’s mom Jen earns the title “Queen of Halloween”, and other holidays, with her incredible flare for decorating the yard.

Beware All Hallows Eve

By Lori Larsen

The trick-or-treaters will be out in full force on Thursday, Oct. 31. Residents are being asked to take special caution to ensure the safety of all those choosing to go out in Camrose neighbourhoods, looking for a treat or two.

The following are a few tips to keep everyone safe and make this Halloween without incident.

First and foremost, Camrose Police Service asks motorists to use special care and attention when travelling the streets.

Trick-or-treaters tend to dart in and out between houses and may not be as vigilant as they should be, so motorists need to be alert. Slow down, use caution when passing parked vehicles–trick-or-treaters could exit a vehicle at any time. Signal your intentions and keep your eye on the roads and sidewalks at all times. If possible, avoid travelling during peak trick-or-treating hours.

Tips for trick-or-treaters

Have a plan that includes where your children will be trick-or-treating and avoid areas that are not well lit. If parents get separated from children, have an emergency meeting place.

Cellular phones are particularly handy for this evening. However, do remind children to not be distracted by their cell phone when walking on the streets.

Wear comfortable, practical and reflective clothing and shoes. The weather can be very unpredictable on Halloween in these parts, so dress accordingly. Have them carry mitts in their pockets or goodie bags and ensure costumes are warm.

Camrose Police Service suggests parents put reflective tape on some part of their child’s costume or have them wear glow-in-the-dark necklaces or bracelets so they are easily spotted in the darker hours.

Make an ID card for your child that has your phone number and name on it. Do not put the child’s name and address on the card.

Give children a curfew and insist they stick to it. If they are going to be delayed for any reason, then make sure they telephone you from a safe place (not a stranger’s home) to let you know.

Combine heavy costumes with a lot of walking and it is very easy for trick-or-treaters to become dehydrated. Have water bottles handy or make sure your trick-or-treaters carry a water bottle with them.

Always inspect treats prior to letting your child consume them. Treats should be sealed. Any torn or ripped packaging should be thrown away. Homemade treats should only be consumed if they are from people known to you or your children.

Ensure your own home is trick-or-treater safe.

Make sure you have your outdoor lights illuminated and sidewalks and pathways clear of debris, snow or ice. It is also wise to remove anything from your lawn or driveway that could cause a person to trip.

Keep family pets away from trick-or-treaters.

Where possible, and to avoid undue stress on your family pet, leave your pets in a separate part of your home.

If you will not be home to hand out treats but still want to participate, you can leave treats in a container on the porch (with the lights on) for a self serve. There are cute DIY projects available on line to make self serve containers.

Or you can strike up an agreement with a neighbour to hand out treats for you in your absence. Post a fun note on your door that directs trick-or-treaters to your neighbour for your treats. “We left some treats, with friends down the street.”

If you are opting out of handing out treats on Halloween, be sure to turn off your outdoor lights and close your door and blinds.

Dark homes usually indicate a desire to skip out of the treat-giving tradition.

Ghosts, goblins, witches and superheroes alike will be “tricking” up Camrose neighbourhoods. We all need to do our part in keeping them safe.

Building awareness on Crohn’s and colitis

By Lori Larsen

Camrose and area residents are invited to join in on the fourth annual Edmonton Bridgewalk to raise funds and awareness for Crohn’s and Colitis on Nov. 8, from 7 until 9 p.m., at the Alberta Legislature Building (10800-97 Avenue) in Edmonton. Participants are asked to meet at the steps of the Legislature at 6:45 p.m.

In recognition of November being Crohn’s and Colitis Awareness month worldwide, the Edmonton chapter will be hosting the walk and honouring Cam Lyster, past resident of Rosalind, who passed away in March 2017 after fighting a brief battle of ulcerative colitis (UC).

Cam was born in Camrose, raised in Rosalind and graduated from Bawlf School in 2015.

“His death serves as a warning that these are very serious illnesses, despite many people living productive lives while affected with them,” commented Cam’s mother Shirley Lyster. “Canada has the highest rate of incidence in the world and the age of diagnosis is getting younger and younger.”

Along with the Crohn’s and Colitis organization, Cam’s family is making it their mission to find a cure while educating people on the dangers of Crohn’s and UC. Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the two main types of inflammatory bowel disease, are diseases that inflame the lining of the GI (gastrointestinal) tract and disrupt the body’s ability to digest food, absorb nutrition and eliminate waste in a healthy manner.

Some symptoms of Crohn’s or UC include abdominal pain and cramping, severe diarrhea, rectal bleeding, blood in stool, weight loss and diminished appetite.

Crohn’s is more common among females than UC and peak onset occurs in ages 15 to 35, while UC usual onset is between ages 15 to 45. Recent reports show an increase in the occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease in people over the age of 55.

“Cam was an extraordinarily compassionate young man; his heart was huge and soft,” said Shirley. “He would do anything

for anyone, and was there when help was needed.”

In his pursuit of a career in leadership with the Canadian Forces, Cam became a member of the Army Reserves with 36 Service Battalion based in Aldershot, Nova Scotia.

Sadly, the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in December of 2016 halted

his dreams and eventually took his life, but his determination to help others wherever he could lives on in his memory.

The Lyster family are hoping to set up a Crohn’s and Colitis chapter in Camrose and welcome anyone interested to visit the Crohn’s and Colitis website at crohnsandcolitis.ca.

Although the Liberals will be forming the next government in Canada, they will have to do it as a minority.

They lost 27 seats from 2015. The party won a total of 157 seats, down from 184 in 2015 and the 177 the party held at dissolution in September of this year.

The Conservatives had a better showing than in 2015, securing 121 seats, up from the 99 the party won four years ago and the 95 it held at dissolution.

The Conservatives had the majority of the population votes with a 34.4 per cent compared to the Liberal’s 33 per cent.

Bloc Québécois went from 10 seats to 32, NDP fell from 44 in 2015 to 24 and the Green Party went from two seats to three on Oct. 21.

In Battle River-Crowfoot, Damien Kurek was elected to head to Ottawa

with 85.5 per cent of the vote and 52,497 votes.

“It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t start by saying thank you to everyone who worked on the campaign and supported me. Campaigns are built around a candidate, but truly it is only possible with an amazing team of people.

There has been more than 150 people involved in this campaign,” said Kurek. “I thank Kevin Sorenson for his close to 20 years of service to this constituency.”

Natasha Fryzuk of the NDP was a surprising second-place finisher with 3,089 votes. Diane Clarke of the Liberals was third with 2,485, Geordie Nelson of the Green Party had 1,750 votes and David Michaud of the People’s Party had 1,583.

In 2015, the Liberals finished in second place with NDP coming in third.

The results nationally are not necessarily what we wanted, but we kept (Prime Minister Justin) Trudeau from getting a majority,” said Kurek. “One thing Trudeau has demonstrated over the last four years is that he doesn’t work well with others. You can count on me as your local Member of Parliament to hold Liberals to account, to ensure we do everything we can

to bring good governance back to this country and to ask the important questions. For example: pipelines is not just an Alberta question, it is a national question. I will do everything I can to represent the interests of this constituency.”

Sorenson was on hand to congratulate Kurek on his victory. “I’m thrilled to see Damien get in. Anyone who knows him, knows what kind of a gentleman

he is. He has a passion and knowledge for politics,” he said. “Damien needs your support ongoing. In my first year, I had to learn about the people in every council and committee. Damien already has a head start because he has met with so many people already. Give him your support.”

He also showed support for Danielle, Damien’s wife.

“Know this, we are all here for you,” concluded Sorenson.

Linda and Fred Bianowski were married in Camrose on June 26, 1959 a couple of days before it has been thought that Robert Raymond Cook killed his father and family in Stettler.

dad never believed he did it.

The death penalty was abolished in 1976 when I was 16. Several books have been written about Cook, fiction and nonfiction, as well as a podcast and documentary, The Grease Pit and a play The End of the Rope by the Bashaw Historical Society. The Fort Saskatchewan museum gives Hanging Town Talks about the 34 people executed there. Cook’s story is one of the three most asked about.

Robert Raymond Cook “borrowed” a flower from the wedding party cars that were in Camrose and at Avonroy Hall, east of Camrose.

Editor’s note: On June 28, 1959, police discovered Raymond Cook, his wife Daisy Cook and their five children shot and bludgeoned to death in the grease pit of their garage in Stettler. Raymond Cook’s son by his first marriage, Robert Cook, had been arrested in Stettler the day before and charged with obtaining goods under false pretenses, after he had traded the family’s

1958 Chevrolet station wagon for a 1959 Impala convertible. Robert was arrested for the murders and despite being implicated in the deaths of all of his family members, was only charged with the murder of his father in order to speed up the trial process.

At just after midnight on July 11, 1959 Cook escaped from the Ponoka Mental Institution he was detained in, for a psychiatric assessment, after he had been denied permission to attend the funerals of the family members he had killed, and was found several days later hiding at a pig farm near Bashaw.

It took two trials and just under 16 months for Cook to be convicted of murder, where he maintained his innocence up until his execution. Cook was pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. on Nov. 15, 1960.

Comedy group stripped down

By Murray Green

Back by popular demand, The Comedy Strippers are returning to Camrose. They will be performing at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 2 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Although it is an 18-plus show, they send out a warning that it is a male stripper parody and improv comedy show. No extreme nudity, just extreme hilarity. A fictitious male stripper troupe (played by a cast of some of Canada’s best improvisational comedians) performs a sexylarious improv comedy show. These guys try to be sexy … it just comes out funny. Constantly grooving and gyrating in between scenes, they banter with the crowd and perform their hilarious twist on improv sketches. They sing, they dance. These guys are oiled up and ready to make you laugh!

Semi undressed and completely unscripted, The Comic Strippers create a whole new genre of comedy.

Battle of Britain movie honours those who served

By Murray Green

The Bailey Theatre and the Camrose Booster are bringing the classic movie Battle of Britain to the screen in memory of those who fought for our peace.

Veterans from the local area will be recognized and are encouraged to attend.

The movie will be shown on Nov. 13 (doors open at 6 p.m. with mix and mingling, movie is at 7 p.m.) and admission is by donation. This movie (1968 colour) portrays British (and Commonwealth) fighter units during the summer of 1940, before the US became involved in the Second World War. Canadian armed forces played a major role in fighting against the significant German attackers.

“The action-packed movie would be appreciated by an audience similar to The Dam Busters that viewed last year. Blain Fowler will supply artifacts for a lobby display and will introduce the film. This is an opportunity to invite the Legion and Air Cadets as our community partners,” said Celia Leathwood, on behalf of the Bailey board.

This movie features Canada’s own actor Christopher Plummer, along with a host of big name British stars including Susannah York, Lawrence Olivier, Robert Shaw, Michael Caine, Ian McShane and Trevor Howard. The real stars of the picture, as they were in 1940, are the vintage British Hurricane and Spitfire fighters that are flown in the movie.

The aircraft in the film are real, not computer-generated graphics like many of today’s films. The movie was produced by Canadian Harry Saltzman along with Polish producer, Benjamin Fisz. The film endeavoured to be an accurate account of the Battle of Britain, when in the summer and autumn of 1940, the British RAF inflicted a strategic defeat on the Luftwaffe and so ensured the cancellation of Operation Sea Lion – Adolf Hitler’s plan to invade Britain. The film is notable for its spectacular flying sequences. It was on a far larger scale than had been seen on film before and this made the film’s production very expensive.

During the Battle of France in June 1940, RAF

pilots evacuate a small airfield in advance of the German Blitzkrieg. The pilots, along with British and French military, leave just as German aircraft arrive and execute a heavy strafing attack. RAF Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding (Laurence Olivier), realizing that an imminent invasion of Great Britain will require every available aircraft and airmen to counter it, stops additional aircraft being deployed to France, so that they are available to defend Britain. In the next dramatic scene, French civilians watch in grim despair as a convoy of German troops marches into France and takes control.

At the deserted beaches of Dunkirk, the BBC reports British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s declaration that “what General Weygand called the ‘Battle of France’ is over, the Battle of Britain is about to begin.”

Subtitled Germanspeaking actors were utilized, a departure from other English language British films in the postwar period, where Germans were often played by Anglophone actors.

Rebecca Perry created and will be performing her show Confessions of a Red Headed Coffeeshop Girl at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m. in the cabaret series.

Perry is an actor, singer and writer based in Toronto. She has worked with a variety of companies across North America in theatre, film, television and voice over. Recently she played a lead role in the major motion pictures Best Friend From Heaven, alongside Kris Kristofferson.

Perry was awarded a 2016 Harold Award, celebrating both her creative and entrepreneurial spirit and her understanding of the business side of acting that has helped her successfully create and perform her three respective solo shows that she tours across the globe.

Her story in this production is of an anthropology graduate named Joanie Little who is stuck working as a barista.

Instead of letting it get her down, she decides to make the most of her underemployment.

So, much like Jane Goodall did with chimpanzees, she turns to her coffee shop jungle. She brews up a storm in Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl.

Perry’s multiple award-winning solo show has toured across Canada and Europe. Performances are now scheduled in Alberta this fall and early 2020.

Experience Sleeping Beauty

By Murray Green

The story of Sleeping Beauty has been told many times by various artists.

The classic tale will come back to life at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m.

This Alberta Musical Theatre Company production is from the same people who brought Pinocchio to Camrose last season.

Amidst overgrown vines and crumbling walls of stone, an age old story quietly echoes in the abandoned halls of a long forgotten castle. It is the story of a kingdom in peril, and a princess cursed to an eternal sleep by a dark fairy. A story of magic, fate, and choice longing to awaken, and to be shared once more.

Farren Timoteo is the

artistic director, Jeff Unger is the composer/Musical director and Adam Tsuyoshi Turnbull is the production manager.

A rielle Ballance, Mackenzie Reurink, Steven Angove and Erik Mortimer are the stars of the show.

It is free admission to Sleeping Beauty, but you must have a ticket to get in.

Bunz learned to drive in a Fargo truck

By Murray Green

Marlene Bunz wants to continue to drive her 1971 Fargo truck in honour of her husband.

“John bought this truck years ago and then restored it. It has been parked for about 10 years. When he passed away, we moved the truck inside because every time I came home the hood was up. After I moved it inside, Cory (Chorburn) comes along and starts working on it to get it up and running and back on the road,” explained Marlene.

“I put a lot of long hours into this truck,” shared Cory, a friend of the family.

“It has a 318 engine with a four speed transmission. I fixed the carb, drive train, brakes and steering to get it safe for the road. I changed tires and lights. I wanted to make sure that when you drive down the road it isn’t falling apart. I just wanted to make sure it was safe to drive.”

Fargo was a brand of truck originally produced in the United States in 1913, by the Fargo Motor Car Company. Dropped in 1922, the name was reintroduced for a line of trucks manufactured by the Chrysler Corporation after purchasing Fargo Motors in 1928.

Marlene has fond memories of the Fargo truck. “I remember John pulled it out of the bush, restored it and then travelled to BC with it.

CUSTOM FARGO

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Marlene Bunz and Cory Chorburn are happy with the way the restored 1971 Fargo truck runs and took it to the Round Hill car show. They revived the truck after it had been parked for 10 years.

He travelled all over before parking it. He restored this truck to give back to me. He often swapped this vehicle for that one and I’m not exactly sure where it came from. There were 52 vehicles in my yard when he passed

FUN FACTS

By 1970, the Adventurer would be expanded into three separate packages: the base Adventurer, the Adventurer Sport and the top-line Adventurer SE. The Adventurer SE included such things as a chrome grille, wood trim on the dashboard, the padded vinyl front seat with color-keyed seatbelts, full courtesy lighting, extra insulation, dual horns, full carpeting, luxury door panel trim, a vinyl-embossed trim strip ran along the sides of the truck, full wheel discs and a woodgrain-insert panel on the tailgate. The 1970 models also featured a new four-section grille (two rows of two holes each). In Canada, the name Fargo was used until 1972 for marketing reasons to differentiate the trucks as Chrysler-Plymouth dealer offerings apart from the Dodge trucks sold at Dodge dealers.

The Windsor plant built pickup trucks through the early 1970s. From 1969-71, the Fargo horn buttons had a circle embossed in the centre (perhaps to signify the traditional Fargo globe) while hubcaps had a plain centre; the Fargo name appeared in chrome on the glove box door. By the mid-1970s, the Dodge and Fargo trucks themselves had no differences except for the nameplates. After 1971, even the hubcaps and horn buttons with the new Dodge Tri-Star emblem were used by Fargo.

away. It was a memory that I didn’t think would end up on the road again.”

The truck was modified over the years with headers and stacks. It likely didn’t have a 318 engine in it when it was new.

“It has a plug-in box underneath and John added the stacks. We are going to polish it up more, add some new hub caps and perhaps add a new grille to make it look more like a factory truck,” added Cory.

The truck was made to work and cruise down the highway. “It was made and restored to drive and not be on a trailer,” he continued.

They went to the Round Hill car show to show off the red Fargo. “When I first learned to drive, I had to almost stand up to see out, it was a Fargo that I first started driving in the field with. So, yes, the Fargo does mean a lot more to me – everyone had trucks like this back then.

“I remember going down the road so many times in it.

This is the first time I’ve rid-

Marlene is thankful for her friends who made the

truck drivable again. “It is better to fix it than just leaving it sit there,” said Cory on his work. “Now it can be used, even if it is just for a Sunday drive,” stated Cory.

Outreach School requests temporary location in industrial park

Leckie did indicate that administration has worked with Battle River School Division on researching potential sites for the school and that the advent of cannabis retail has also made it more difficult for BRSD to find an appropriate location for the Outreach School. “Schools cannot locate within 100 metres of a cannabis retail store,” he explained, further adding that the City has approved several licences for retail Cannabis stores in Camrose. he Camrose industrial Leckie said administration park does not have the also considered the concern of hinderance to industrial develinfrastructure necessary to supopment in the industrial park. port a school,” noted Leckie.

Leckie said that should council want to proceed with the bylaw, administration has proposed ways to mitigate this as much as possible by identifying it as a discretionary use in the M1-General Industrial Land use District and setting up an evaluation criteria to base administration’s analysis of the applications, which could include hours of operation and duration of stay.

Concerning the lighting situation, Walsh said that while it isn’t great, BRSD has had conversation with Meridian regarding the lighting around that area Limited Time Offers: and would be prepared to help to increase Cars, Light Trucks, SUVs, Gas Engines the lighting.

During a regular council meeting held on Oct. 21, City of Camrose council gave first reading to Bylaw 3063-19 to amend Land Use Bylaw 2929-17 to add “school” to the list of discretionary uses in the M1-General Industrial Land Use District.

On Oct. 7, the City of Camrose accepted an application from Battle River School Division (BRSD) to amend the Land Use Bylaw 2929-17 in order to accommodate a location in the general industrial district (3724-42 Avenue) for the Camrose Outreach School to temporarily move.

As a result of the approved demolition of the Drill Hall due to unsafe conditions, holders of leases within the Drill Hall (including the Outreach School) are required to vacate by Dec. 5.

City of Camrose director of planning and development Aaron Leckie cited the reasons for administration recommendation to not allow first reading.

“The Camrose industrial park does not have the infrastructure necessary to support a school,” noted Leckie. “Most of the reasons are related to safety concerns and I am sure that is how BRSD approaches it as well, and yet the predicament that they are in has led to some difficult decisions.”

Councillor Kevin Hycha said he has firsthand knowledge of the area and agreed with administration’s concerns regarding safety–lack of sidewalks, darkness and lack of snow removal, but also inquired as to how this particular case differed from that of the Augustana Faculty of Nursing (After Degree Program) located in the Husfloen Building in the Industrial Park.

Leckie said that the City never had an opportunity to evaluate that property because once it was purchased by Augustana, it fell under the Post Secondary Learning Act which is exempt from the Municipal Government Act. “We have no jurisdiction over that site.”

City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd added that another major difference is the Husfloen school is for adults.

Councillor Wayne Throndson inquired

about the possibility of locating the Outreach School at École Camrose Composite High School.

Walsh responded, “Alberta Education does have rules around where an outreach school can exist. We would have to ask for exemption.

“The challenge is, traditionally students who come to Camrose Outreach School are students that do not succeed in a school like École Camrose Composite High School. So in order for them to succeed, the Outreach is an alternative program that they can choose to attend.”

She added that the other challenge is some students in attendance at Outreach, for legal reasons, are not allowed to be in close proximity to other students who could be at École Camrose Composite High School. The Outreach is a work around solution we have in order to provide educational opportunities.

“Camrose Outreach School has changed in the past few years with a focus more on education.”

Throndson inquired as to the possibility of having a separate wing which would accommodate the two schools under one roof.

Walsh said they (BRSD) would have to revisit the high school to see if it would be doable.

Boyd suggested the possibility of moving mobiles onto the Comp site as another alternative.

Councillor Max Lindstrand was not in favour of the Outreach School being located in the Industrial Park, but appreciated that due to time constraints, the situation was imminent. “I would be prepared to support first reading of Bylaw 3063-19 with the provisions that we continue to search for a more central location.” He also indicated that in the past, he would not have agreed with moving the Outreach to the Comp; but because the Outreach School has changed to be more of a typical school, it could work providing a number of rooms were isolated from the general population of the Comp.

Lindstrand also advised that if council were to give first reading, it would be no assurance that the bylaw would receive second or third reading.

“C

amrose Outreach School has changed in the past few years with a focus more on education,” said Walsh.

Throndson made a motion to give first reading to Bylaw 3026-19 requesting administration to return with a report on all the other sites considered and why they would not be suitable.

Leckie suggested the matter come back to the Dec. 2 meeting for public hearing and second and third reading.

“The steps that would happen between now and the Dec. 2 meeting would include a mail out to all adjacent landowners, and that includes all properties in the industrial land use district as we are making a change to the entire district, public hearing advertised for two consecutive weeks and an Open House hosted by BRSD on Nov. 7.”

Leckie indicated that during the Dec. 2 meeting, administration will also supply a list of all the sites researched and reasons why they may be ruled out for locations for the Outreach School.

In an effort to ensure immediate continuity, Stoney Creek Lodge would be available on a six-month agreement to accommodate the Outreach School after Dec. 5.

to the rescue!

Karen Dammann, manager, Camrose Registry Ltd.

the background…

Back in March of 2019, the Province of Alberta took over the business of employing driver’s road test examiners, the booking of road tests, and all aspects of awarding Class 1 to 6 driver’s licenses. Since this time, there have been challenges related to the major revisions to the system.

One such challenge occurred last Friday, October 25th.

last Friday…

A road test examiner showed up at Camrose Registry to begin road tests booked for that day. (Note that the new system implemented last spring has resulted in too few qualified examiners for demand, long wait lists and travel of 2 or more hours on occasion, to alternative communities for road testing.) A system glitch revealed that no road tests had been booked in Camrose for Friday, October 25! Knowing that people have been desperately waiting for personal road tests, Camrose Registry’s manager, Karen Dammann, made a call to CamroseNow!

the phone call…

Karen explained that she had multiple time slots available for these precious road tests that very day. Within minutes, the CamroseNow! team created a notification/announcement ad broadcasting this information out to approximately 7,500 CamroseNow! users.

In short order, people called in and snapped up every available time slot for road exams after 11:30 am last Friday!

the answer…

CamroseNow! continues to prove to be a powerful tool for the Camrose and area business community. Though it started as a user-friendly, environmentally-friendly phone book, CamroseNow! has transformed into a thorough and compelling way to truly keep CAMROSE IN YOUR POCKET!

The value of minority governments

Canadian minority governments have often been precarious, contentious, short-lived and unnecessarily suspect.

However, in many parts of the world, minority governments are the norm, leading to the development of consensusbased democracies.

Scandinavian countries, for example, generally elect minority or coalition governments, due in part to their proportional electoral systems Shauna Wilton, (where the percentage of the Political Studies, University of Alberta vote matches the percentage Augustana Campus of seats that a party gets) and the existence of multiple political parties. While these governments are not without their challenges, Scandinavia is known for its stability, high standard of living and generous welfare states – all produced under minority governments. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s refusal to support proportional representation was partially based on the perception that minority governments are bad for Canada. Yet, the reputable Canadian journal, Policy Options, notes that many positive advances occurred in Canada under minority governments, including the development of the welfare state and investments in health care, two elements central to our Canadian identity.

Part of the fear of minority governments stems from misunderstandings about how they work. For example, in the last week of the election campaign, Andrew Scheer argued that if the Conservatives win the most seats, they should have first stab at forming the government. Scheer is wrong. Central to our democratic model is the idea of responsible government: the idea that the government is responsible to the legislature.

What this means in practice is that the government needs the support of the lower house to govern. They need to have 50 per cent plus one of the members of the House of Commons supporting the creation of the government. Should no party elect a majority, the ruling minority party has the right to make the first attempt at forming a government that can gain the support of Parliament. Should the minority government fail, the Governor General may ask another party to try forming a government.

The minority government has the right to govern until they lose the confidence of the legislature, in a vote of nonconfidence. These are explicit votes testing the confidence in the government. This rule allows governments to be defeated on a minor issue without forcing their defeat and, potentially, a new election. In most cases, a vote of non-confidence creates the opportunity for one of the other elected parties to try to form a government that has the support of the House, rather than leading to an election call. These rules create stability within systems that have frequent minority governments. They also reduce the ability of the governing minority to force the opposition to do their bidding or risk being blamed for an early election.

Under ideal circumstances, minority governments can lead to more negotiation, cooperation and consensus building between parties. The reality in Canada is that even majority governments do not have the support of the majority of the population. With a minority government, parties should work together to find compromises that best reflect what the majority of Canadians want. These types of governments have the potential to be more responsive to the desires of voters and create policy that is less ideological and broader in scope.

Another option is a coalition government: a formal partnership between two or more parties willing to make policy compromises in order to share the governing of the country.

A stable coalition can lead to a very stable government that represents more than half of the population. Although the Liberals have enough seats to run government with only limited support from other parties, a coalition would formalize that relationship and make it more predictable.

The challenge is for parties and their leaders to be willing to share power and compromise. Parties in Canada are often afraid that compromise makes them appear weak or less committed to their platform. But, isn’t this what democracy should look like? Isn’t it better to have our political leaders working together to find the solution that is most appealing to the most people rather than forcing their policies through majority rule and the lack of effective opposition?

Our new minority government offers our leaders an opportunity to show us that they can lead and govern better, with more integrity and responsiveness, by sharing power.

Budget to be balanced in future

CIBC is Crystal’s bank in Camrose

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

I am pleased as the MLA for the Constituency of Camrose to share some budget highlights.

On Oct. 24, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board Travis Toews tabled Budget 2019–A plan for jobs and the economy.

Budget 2019 is a balanced plan to create jobs, grow the economy and protect vital services.

Geared to turn our economy around, the budget is focused on three key priorities: Getting Albertans back to work, making life better for Albertans and standing up for Alberta.

To achieve getting our fiscal situation under control, we are cutting spending by 2.8 per cent to balance our budget by the end of our term.

With an unfriendly federal government, Alberta must be self-reliant so we are ready for whatever the future might bring.

Budget 2019 implements 24 of the UCP platform commitments and was developed after extensive consultations with Albertans, including the residents of our Camrose Constituency, and informed by expert advice from the MacKinnon panel.

Getting Albertans back to work: This budget strengthens Alberta’s competitiveness, geared toward increased investment, support and better jobs, and will set the stage for our long-term economic prosperity.

Job creation tax cut–reducing corporate income tax from 12 to eight per cent over four years to attract new investment.

Streamline government processes–reducing unnecessary red tape to make it easier to do business in Alberta.

Invests $75 million to support innovation and $10.7 billion in the post-secondary sector to support a highly skilled workforce.

We are currently spending more per person on public services than comparable provinces without achieving better results.

Our spending needs to be in line with the other provinces to more affordable levels.

This budget significantly reduces unnecessary, inefficient and wasteful spending, while maintaining or increasing support for core social services.

This budget maintains our commitment to fully fund education.

It raises health care spending by $200 million over four years.

Funding will also increase for children’s services, community and social services, and seniors and housing.

Standing Up for Alberta: The UCP Government will keep standing up for Alberta’s energy and agriculture industries.

We’ll fight for a fairer deal for Alberta in the federation.

We will take bold action to get our economy back on track and reverse the unsustainable fiscal trajectory set by the previous NDP government.

Under a new fiscal plan: The UCP Government will balance the budget in four years.

We’ll reign in the growth of government expenses and, once the budget is balanced, we can pay down Alberta’s debt.

Budget 2019 is a strong fiscal plan that will create jobs, boost our economy and balance the budget in four years. We’ve committed to taking a balanced approach to end the pattern of overspending in our province and live within our means.

I’ve had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of residents in our Camrose Constituency and overwhelmingly, I have heard that they are tired of government overspending and do not want to pay extra taxes. I feel confident that our budget will deliver what Albertans have asked for.

CRYSTAL’S BANK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Bert Westergard, left, and Crystal Regehr Westergard check out Crystal’s bank at the Camrose branch of CIBC. The bank supported Crystal’s vision of owning her own business.

By Murray Green

CIBC celebrated its clients and shared inspiring stories of Canadians achieving their goals, on Oct. 25 in Camrose.

The bank celebrated with the more than 10 million Canadians who entrust CIBC with their goals at Client Appreciation Day events across the country. To commemorate the occasion, the bank will launch the CIBC Memento Project, a new video series featuring the inspiring stories of its clients and how CIBC is helping them along the way.

“On Client Appreciation Day, we celebrate our relationships with Canadians who are actively working towards their goals, whether big or small. We are proud to be part of each story,” said Stephen Forbes, executive vice president.

“We are also celebrating our nearly 400,000 business clients as they build their companies, grow the economy and strengthen

our communities. Helping our clients achieve their goals is a privilege that we never take for granted.”

Cr ystal R egehr Westergard, a CIBC client in Camrose, is a great example of how, with the right advice, a small idea can grow into something particularly special. CIBC helped Crystal achieve her goal to start a successful business, a journey that began with a simple desire to bring back the “Cuban Lunch” chocolate bar, once a popular treat in Western Canada.

With a supporting loan and strong business advice from CIBC, Crystal and her husband Bert turned their kitchen-based small enterprise into a successful business, producing more than two million bars in just two years.

To help her celebrate this milestone, CIBC transformed her home branch, the CIBC Camrose Banking Centre, into “Crystal’s Banking Centre” for the

CRYSTAL’S OPENING

day to honour her and her business. Crystal is also the first client showcased in the CIBC Memento Project.

“With the CIBC Memento Project, we’re putting our clients front and centre, celebrating the hard work they’ve put into the pursuit of their goals,” said Forbes. “We’ve centred each story around a memento that’s meaningful to our clients, the objects that remind us of where we’ve been and where we want to go. In Crystal’s case, it’s a family recipe book.”

CIBC Client Appreciation Day celebrations took place at more than 1,000 banking centres across Canada.

The CIBC Memento Project video of Crystal can be viewed across CIBC’s social channels: LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster CIBC manager Syed Mahmud, left, Crystal Regehr Westergard, City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer, Bert Westergard and CIBC senior finance service representative Melissa Skinner marked the client appreciation day with a ribbon cutting on Oct. 25.

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.

Kodiaks double up on Grizzlys

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks doubled the Olds Grizzlys 4-2 to get back in the win column on Oct. 22.

After Olds led 1-0 in the first period, the Kodiaks gained the lead in the middle frame with tallies from Griffen Fraser and Cam McAdam.

In the third period, Olds scored before Camrose came back with two more markers from Erik Miller and Lynden Grandberg. Goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 25 of 27 shots he faced. Camrose fired 31 shots at the Olds’ net.

The Kodiaks suffered a 6-3 defeat to the number one ranked team in Canada, Brooks. The Bandits scored the first three goals of the match on Oct. 19. The teams were even in the third period, as Carson Kurylo, Fraser and Miller replied for the Kodiaks.

Goalie Bowerman turned away 40 of 45 shots sent his direction.

Camrose home games are against the Canucks on Oct. 29 at 1 p.m. and Okotoks Oilers on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Encana.

Bear facts
