In November 1919, a dozen prominent local citizens gathered in order to discuss the possibility of the first library for the City of Camrose. The local Chapter of the I.O.D.E. was represented with a pledge of $100 towards the salary of a librarian. The concept of a library to serve the community was quickly turned into a working plan.

Next Tuesday, November 19, Camrose Public Library will celebrate one hundred years of dedicated operation.

It’s hard not to marvel at how much the original library has changed in ten decades.

Wouldn’t the early people of vision and foresight be astounded to know that “their library” now offers 3-D printing, print and audio books, movies, CDs, game discs and newspapers from across the province? The library is now an E-Library, too.

Photocopying, yoga passes, indoor and outdoor games, exam supervision and even snowshoes and trekking poles are available to the public.

The Library’s Centennial Celebration takes place on November 19, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Be sure to share in the celebration! There will be hors d'oeuvres, a keynote speaker and a toast as they launch into the next 100 years. The library belongs to the community, so everyone in the community is encouraged to share in the celebration.

ere’s what Camrose Primary Care Network can do to better you and your family’s health:

Celeating

Four Provincial Objectives of Primary Care Networks:

FAMILY DOCTORS

a. Accountable and effective governance – Establish clear and effective governance roles, structures and processes that support shared accountability and the evolution of primary healthcare delivery.

b. Strong partnerships and transitions of care – Coordinate, integrate and partner with health services and other social services across the continuum of care.

c. Health needs of the community and population – Plan service delivery on high quality assessments of the community’s needs through community engagement and assessment of appropriate evidence. patients’ health home to ensure Albertans have access to the right services through the establishment of multidisciplinary teams that provide comprehensive primary care.

How the Camrose PCN connects to these four objectives

a. The Camrose PCN is led by a board of directors that includes Physician Lead, Dr. Nichol and Directors, Dr. Otto, Dr. Aamer, Dr. Smith and Dr. Minders. Together, with Executive Director, Christie Sharun, the board oversees the dayto-day operations of the PCN in response to the heathcare needs of our communities.

b. By connecting multiple healthcare and community organizations, the Camrose PCN is able to commit to programming such as the Camrose In-Patient Care program, where physicians at St. Mary’s Hospital are in constant communication with patients’ family doctors to make sure that care pre-, during, and post-hospital stay is consistent and comprehensive.

c. Camrose, Bashaw, Daysland and Forestburg, are distinct and unique communities.

The Camrose PCN works diligently to ensure that the programming of our clinics matches their needs. Executive Director Christie Sharun is a regular at town governance meetings to explain what Camrose PCN offers and gets feedback from leadership within our catchment area.

Camrose PCN programs: Prevention & Chronic Disease Management: Behavioural health consultants, dietitians, pharmacists, nurses, nurse practitioners, and exercise specialists in partnership with the patient and their family doctor work together to prevent, educate, and manage chronic conditions such as COPD, hypertension and diabetes by monitoring and advising on blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight management.

Palliative & End of Life Care Navigator Program: An extension of our Prevention & Chronic Disease Management program. Patients with chronic diseases that are life-limiting have access to this program as early as their first diagnosis.

Here patients are connected to healthcare and community supports to help them create a care plan, manage their mental health, and increase their quality of life as much as possible. Patients and their families are paired with a navigator who guides them to the supports that adhere to their values and needs.

d. Patients’ health home – Implement

Prenatal Program: Patients are seen by a multidisciplinary team that includes nurses, behavioural health consultants and doctors who also deliver at St. Mary’s Hospital. Patients can be seen as soon as they find out that they are pregnant.

The Geriatric Assessment & Fall Prevention Program: For seniors over 65 who experience falls, memory loss, decreased mobility, bladder concerns or difficulty coping in their community.

Patients are assessed and cared for by a multidisciplinary team whose goal is to keep seniors healthy and at home using a wholistic approach to care.

Youth & Young Adult Care: Focuses on youth and emerging young adults aged 11-24 through the Camrose & Area Integrated Youth Hub.

Camrose Public Library shows impressive growth over 100 years

By Lori Larsen

My childhood library Growing up in Camrose, I had no concept of how new we are. I was well into adulthood before I travelled to Eastern Canada and saw buildings more than 100 years old.

Unbelievable! We’re coming along, though. One marker is, Camrose Public Library is celebrating its 100th anniversary on November 19. Wow! That brings back childhood memories–my own, and those of an award-winning Canadian author.

I began visiting Camrose Public Library at about eight years old – old enough to read some on my own and, in those small town days, to visit the library by myself.

Mrs. Brandt was the kindly white-haired librarian at Town Hall. I have fond memories of working my way through Bobbsey Twins stories, and moving on to Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys mysteries. I also have fond teenage memories of grey-haired librarian Mrs. Marken when the library was in the white former courthouse building now located on Main Street.

Some years ago, I heard Aritha van Herk at an event co-sponsored by Camrose Public Library. Aritha van Herk was born in Wetaskiwin and grew up in Edberg. She is now an award-winning Canadian author, critic, editor and university professor. She’s written novels that meld fiction and non-fiction, and has published short stories, essays and articles for Canadian and international publications.

One of her non-fiction books is Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta, which she wrote in 2001 to help friends in Ontario understand people in Alberta.

(Apparently that task still needs work!) The book won the Grant MacEwan Author’s Award and led to a permanent award-winning exhibition at Calgary’s Glenbow Museum.

Aritha van Herk was also awarded University of Calgary Students’ Union Teaching Excellence Award and Writers’ Guild of Alberta Gold Pen Lifetime Achievement Award.

She’s been inducted into Alberta Order of Excellence and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Some of her students have also gone on to literary success.

So what does Aritha van Herk have to do with Camrose Public Library?

In her talk she spoke about how, growing up in Edberg, “going to Camrose” was a big event. The highlight was a visit to Camrose Public Library. At about age ten or eleven, she confided to “the steel-grey-haired librarian” Mrs. Marken that she intended to be an author when she grew up. Mrs. Marken said, “Well then, you’ll want to read most of the books in this library, won’t you?”

And Aritha did.

One hundred years ago, when a few people decided Camrose should have a public library, my guess is they simply wanted books to be available to more citizens.

When I was a child, library books opened doors in my imagination and solidified my love of reading. When Aritha van Herk was a child, Camrose Public Library did all that and supported her dream to become an author.

And now? The Camrose Public Library vision is to make a difference through connections, community engagement and inclusion. Its mission is to provide opportunities for all to share and grow through curiosity and creativity.

When visiting Camrose Public Library with grandchildren, I’ve appreciated the happy colours and images, the friendly inviting settings and the range of activities.

Besides books, it has audio books, films, a library of e-books, and internet access for patrons. Through an Interlibrary Loan it can provide you with items from any library in Alberta. Most days of most weeks, it hosts multiple events for different age groups. It’s a hub.

The library’s resources are not limited to its building.

In the summer, library staff stuff an outreach book bike with a collection of various materials to share with the public when they visit parks and community events. The library’s WiFi service means you can check out materials without having to come to the library building. You can also check out library items like snow shoes, yoga passes, walking poles and even an energy audit kit.

Camrose Public Library may be a century old, but it’s staying current.

I’d love to hear from you! Send a note about this column or suggestions for future columns to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

During a budgetary presentation to City of Camrose council on Oct. 21, Camrose Public Library (CPL) director Robyn Gray invited councillors and those present in Chambers to help celebrate the Library’s 100th birthday on Nov. 19.

Gray said how proud they (library staff and volunteers) are of how much the library has grown and continues to be one of the main hubs of the community.

Staffing and programs

Open seven days a week (there may be some statutory holiday exceptions) at a total of 58 hours per week, CPL falls under the category of enhanced service according to Public Library Services branch of Government of Alberta Best Practices for Public Libraries.

Information Studies and their function is to overview all components of the library.

“Typically we hire six summer students but this year it is going to be five.

Two of the students conduct programming, two operate the Book Bike program, two conduct the Summer Reading program and one is the intergenerational programmer who operates the Lifecycle Bike program.

Gray said the library offers opportunities for staff to engage in professional development to stay on top of exciting new ideas and concepts in other libraries, in an effort to provide patrons with the best service and strives to provide a 2.5 per cent cost of living adjustment to all staff, as well as step

Robyn Gray, Director of the Camrose Public Library “We always have two circulation assistants upstairs and one downstairs for all of our operating hours so they are readily available to help patrons,” said Gray noting that their tasks include assisting patrons check out books, searching for items, assisting with questions around technology concerns, checking in books, answering telephone calls and inquiries and on Tuesdays and Fridays processing all the material that arrives from other libraries across Parkland.

Gray further explained that within the budget the library employs adult, technology and children’s programmers who offer a variety of learning and engagement opportunities each week for patrons, as well as take on other tasks such as searching for community grants that can be utilized to offer more programs and new initiatives.

“We also have our manager who carries out day to day financial and administrative functions, supervises circulation staff and reports directly to the director.”

Gray explained that the director is required by the Libraries Act to have a Masters of Library and

increases so that each employee has the opportunity to be able to meet living expenses by today’s standards and receive an increase in pay based on the quality of their work.

Numbers speak volumes

In speaking of the user statistics Gray began by saying that of the library being open 2,774 hours 137,315 patrons come through the doors, 82,871 reference questions were answered, 140,972 items checked out and the 20 service computers were utilized 21,644 times. “In addition to that our free WIFI service was accessed 101,673 times.”

The Adult program provides educational speakers and craft sessions and facilitates seniors’ outreach services. Of the 225 adult programs 1,872 people attended, in addition 95 outside groups offered meetings or sessions to 851 attendees in relation to adult programming.

“Libraries are one of the first places newcomers come when they are settling in and learning about their new community.”

The technology programmer conducted 127 Something Cool After School programs for 1,449 participants, provided 20 Something Book Clubs

for 67 participants and 92 individual technology sessions for 204 participants.

A total of 242 programs with approximately 2,141 people were offered.

“Between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 our Children’s program hosted 36 Infant programs for 456 participants, 69 Story Times for 1,114 toddlers, 32 Concept Corner sessions for 239 (3-5 year olds) and 127 Snacks in the Stacks programs for 5,529 children after school.”

Gray explained that the summer staff were also kept very busy from May to September. “Two summer program coordinators offered 82 programs for 925 children and an additional 41 programs for 268 teens.

The two Book Bike coordinators offered 30 programs for 3,048 attendees and, along with the Life Cycle, were present at many community events.”

The Intergenerational program conducted 21 events at the library with a total of 242 attendees and 542 seniors or disabled patrons with rides on the Life Cycle.

“Between the Children’s programs and the summer programs the library provided 673 inhouse children and family programs for 15,335 participants and 39 external children and family external programs were hosted at the library for 500 participants.

According to Gray by the end of September approximately 32,000 participated in all the library programming.

“A huge component of our value is we offer all patrons a place where they can interact with others of various ages and socioeconomic status and share a common experience.”

Gray concluded that the library works closely with the Parkland Regional Library and other libraries throughout the province to provide even more services for residents.

“Our patrons borrowed 20,093 items from other libraries.”

Proposed budget

In an effort to continue the services and programs offered at CPL, Gray on behalf of the CPL board, requested an operating budget of $656,038.

“The library wishes for our budget to remain as low as possible in order to ensure continued service without being an unnecessary burden on the city.

“The budget presented is a representation of what it takes for us to maintain our current level of service for all patrons.

“Libraries are the only publicly funded institutions available to all citizens.”

The cost of war is frequently offered as a number of dead and wounded.

There are 65 war cemeteries where Canadians soldiers are buried.

The First World War was, by far, Canada’s most deadly. Nearly 10 per cent of our population was engaged in that war with a loss of 66,349 lives. At the time Canada’s population was a mere eight million. The First World War witnessed 70 to 85 million deaths-soldiers and civilians-from 61 countries which represents about three per cent of the, then, world population.

Numbers are important. Unfortunately, numbers are data for thoughtful analysis, but they do not awaken the heart as to the sacrifice of war. Military cemeteries do that. This recent September Susan and I visited Europe and spent a week visiting Second World War cemeteries and museums in The Netherlands, Germany, and Dieppe, France along with a visit to Vimy Ridge, a First World War Monument.

War museums tell an impacting story, but it is the cemeteries that twist your heart. We saw several and spent considerable time in two. The Reichswald Forest War Cemetery in Germany is immaculately maintained.

In my youth, Rosalind was my hometown, a community of 150 persons. In the Second World War, two young men from there lost their lives, Ken MacDonald age 23 and Mark Stump.

The grave field was about two blocks long and three-quarters of a block wide. Standing at one end it is difficult to fathom the seemingly endless number of graves in just one of 65 cemeteries. The reality of war comes by walking among the graves.

Most headstones record ages between 18 and 26 years. There were older persons interred, but most were at the dawn of adulthood.

We walked row upon row and read the names. It was youth who were protecting our freedom. Some headstones were especially sad such as: “An airman of the 1939–45 war.” Nothing more was inscribed. This would be the remains of a person so destroyed that he could not be identified. Who back home waited, and how long did hope endure, and when did hope give way?

Pretend that you could sell your freedom for a sum of $40 trillion. What good would that be? When dictators rule, freedom of the press, mobility, assembly, speech and association with others are choices of the state and not the individual. When freedom is gone money is of little value. No longer are you in control of your destiny.

I don’t know how to put a value on freedom, but a visit to a military cemetery sure lets one know the price we have paid.

During the past election I heard too many times, “Oh what is the use” and “What difference does my vote make.”

The difference is that democracy requires engagement. Without involvement democracy forfeits itself to the abuse of power.

We can easily name the enemies of the 20th century: Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin.

Sadly, the enemy is still among us; his name is apathy.

Near the end of September, a CBC news broadcaster while facilitating, along with other news personalities, a discussion with a group of undecided voters and one of the broadcasters commented, that she was uninspired by all national leaders. Worst yet, she chided that she would spoil her ballot by putting an X beside every name.

Those soldiers lying in foreign fields did not die for our disinterest. So, when a national news broadcaster seemingly accepts an act of non-participation as being normal then something is wrong. Our national media ought to be promoting democracy and supporting our institutions, which is one of our pillars of democracy.

From failing hands, we have been thrown the torch.

It is ours to hold high. If we lose faith, then all those young soldiers will not sleep. Because of their sacrifice we must abide our duty.

CN warns motorists to be especially cautious at crossings to get to the other side.

“Remember, there could be more than one train in any direction at any time.”

Statistics show that more than half of the collisions involving highway/ railway crossings happen at crossings equipped with lights and bell with or without gates. A motorist who ignores the warning devices takes an unnecessary risk with their life and that of others.

From January to August of 2019, there were 160 incidents involving railway crossing and trespassing on railway property, 29 serious injuries and 45 fatalities.

By Lori Larsen

On Nov. 7 at approximately 8:45 p.m., a motor vehicle collision involving a train occurred on Range Road 205 (10 km northwest of Camrose).

“The gravel road leading to the railway tracks has an advanced warning yellow and black cautionary sign then reflective cross bucks and stop sign at the crossing,” explained CN Police Constable Dean Solowan.

According to Solowan, the road conditions were acceptable and the train speed was under 30 mph.

“The driver sustained injuries but none that were life threatening, unfortunately the vehicle was destroyed.”

While this particular incident is still under investigation CN Police would like to remind motorists of the importance of being totally aware while driving, and to pay special attention when approaching any railway crossing.

The following information is provided by CN in an effort to create awareness on railway crossing and train safety.

Be aware how the railway crosses the road. On approach it may be directly horizontal or slightly perpendicular, so it is always advised to slow down upon

Submitted Canadian National Railway reminds motorists to be especially vigilant at railway crossings and pay close attention to railway signs and warnings.

approach and look completely to the left and right, remember your blind spot and peripheral vision.

“Depending on where your travels take you, train speeds vary from five mph to mainline speed of 55 mph.

This must be taken into consideration when crossing the tracks,” said Soloman. “A freight train with 80 railcars travelling 100 kilometres per hour can take up to two kilometres to stop. An average freight train weighs 5.5 million kg. Compare that to a car, which weighs around 1,375 kg. A train hitting a car is like a car driving over a pop can.”

Soloman added that the number below the cross buck at a railway crossing tells you how many sets of tracks a motorist or pedestrian has to cross in order

That’s a wrap on wrap

With Centra Cam Recycling Depot no longer accepting gift wrapping paper, gift wrapping bags, tissue wrap, bows and ribbons, disposing of the material will be more difficult.

“When a tree first becomes paper, it has long fibre,” explained Centra Cam Recycle Depot employee Lynn Horsman. “Every time paper is recycled, the fibres shorten. Gift wrap, gift bags and tissue paper are called ‘waste’ paper in the industry. They have been recycled too many times. The mills seldom want waste paper and it must be sorted of all contaminates. So, ribbons and bows, gift wrap, gift bags and tissue paper are garbage. They go to the landfill.”

Horsman added that magazines, catalogues and brown paper may be the next kinds of paper that cannot be recycled.

“Then we will only take sorted cardboard, sorted newspaper and sorted white office paper. These have long fibres and can be recycled many times over.

The mills are happy to pay for all these clean sorted papers.”

Horsman said that sorting your paper is very important. “It means we get the best price for our paper and keeps labour costs at the Recycle Depot reasonable.”

This year for the holiday season, why not consider alternatives to using wrapping paper, ribbon and bows to adorn your holiday gifts. Below are some suggestions on other more environmentally friendly and even cost efficient ways to wrap up the season.

Inexpensive reusable bags are available at most retail outlets, many of which are very decorative some even seasonal.

Use newspaper to wrap

up gifts. You can opt for the colour pages or be totally unique with black and white print. Pick a newspaper date that is close to the recipient’s birthday so they can enjoy what was happening on or around their special day.

Purchase inexpensive tea towels, facecloths or bath towels, scarves, pillowcases or other usable items to wrap gifts. This way, the recipient gets a double surprise.

Use fabric scraps. Once unwrapped, they can be donated to a local quilting or craft club.

Use gift boxes. Most come beautifully and seasonally decorated. The box can either be crushed then recycled or repurposed to store decorations, scarves and mitts or other household items.

Consider giving gifts in their own packaging such as the ingredients for making cookies, preserves, homemade treats in pretty tin cans that can be reused by the recipient.

Use gift baskets. They can be reused by the recipient for their own personal use or re-used to present a gift to others.

Use maps. They are colourful and playful and can be a source of conversation if you circle particular spots of interest.

When in doubt, purchase gift cards available from a multitude of retailers, restaurants and other products and services.

Every little bit helps when thinking green.

Come up with some of your own fun ways to ensure used gift wrap, bows and ribbons don’t end up in our landfill.

Centra Cam Recycle Depot is open Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

For inquiries, residents are asked to enter through the Public Entrance.

Looking Back

through the pages of The Booster

25 Years Ago This Week – from Nov. 15, 1994 edition • Celebrated Canadian journalist and scholar Gwynne Dyer spoke optimistically about the future of the world, as a guest speaker at Augustana University College. One concern on his mind was the state of the fisheries in Newfoundland. It was Dyer’s claim that the island would be unable to sustain a population of over 500,000 without adequate fish stock in nearby waters.

• The Royal Bank opened the first drive-through banking machine in a novel way. Mayor Norman Mayer and Don Smith, branch manager, drove up to the outside ATM in a restored 1917 Model T Ford.

• Palliative care patient Bob Burgess purchased 11 bulbs as the Christmas Tree of Lights campaign launched for 1994.

50 Years Ago This Week – from Nov. 11, 1969 edition • The new Datsun 1600 Sedan was introduced by Glambeck Motors Ltd. • A Calgary-based consulting firm recommended that the downtown business area require further study on parking concerns and the ‘visual image’ of the area being undertaken, in order to provide competitive balance.

• Santa Claus advertised his appearance at Lawrence’s Dept. Store in Camrose for Saturday, November 15.

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining thirty four other volunteer Energy Ambassadors for the Battle River Watershed ‘Finding Common Ground 2.0’ two day tour.

Visiting eight sites in the Watershed, the tour included industrial, government, business and homeowner efforts.

Nineteen guides and speakers, plus eight student EcoVision Ambassadors presented informative and thought provoking discussions about energy production and efficiency, emission and footprint reduction.

At the Paintearth coal mine we learned the coal mining for power production, started in 1956, will soon complete the phase out. Reclamation of the 6,226 hectare footprint will be completed with pea and willow planting, and biosoil amendments.

The coal is being replaced by a 10” natural gas line for the Atco Power plant near Forestburg. We trooped up

113 steps to the fifth story to see the massive former coal burning boilers converted to natural gas. This will reduce emissions by two thirds.

Travelling to Halkirk, we entered an actual wind turbine tower at the Capital Power site. The 83 wind turbines, 80m tall with 44m blades, generate enough power to support 50,000 homes (same amount as the Atco generating station).

The 25,000 acre footprint is simultaneously used for agriculture.

A passive solar geodesic dome greenhouse with aquaponics was the highlight of the presentation by eight student EcoVision Ambassadors at the Lacombe Composite High School. As part of the environmental teachings of the curriculum and extra curricular clubs, students grow food in the greenhouse, outdoor raised beds and an indoor food tower.

The Nadon straw bale home in Camrose County optimizes residential energy

efficiency. Site orientation, straw bale wall construction, salvaged materials, energy efficient windows, appliances, lighting; and infloor heating and entry air locks all contribute to an inviting, cozy family home.

We all use energy. We are all part of the solution.

We all have a part to play.

We all will benefit from finding solutions together. We all share this watershed, this province, this planet.

Our conclusion might agree with Aldo Leopold, dean of ecological thinking, 1938: “We end, I think at what might be called the standard paradox of the 20th century, our tools are better than we are, and grow better faster than we do. They suffice to crack the atom, to command the tides. But they do not suffice for the oldest task in human history: to live on a piece of land without spoiling it.”

Pat Reiter, Camrose

Police Curb the Danger initiative stops impaired driver Nov. 7

Camrose Police received a call of a possible impaired driver.

Police located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The driver displayed signs of alcohol consumption and provided a caution reading on a roadside screening device. An immediate roadside suspension was issued resulting in the male’s license being suspended for three days, along with a three day vehicle seizure.

While conducting regular

patrols a black GMC pick-up immediately sped away when it observed police. The vehicle was then located at the east end of Camrose and when a traffic stop was conducted the male driver jumped

into the backseat with two of the three other passengers. The male showed signs of intoxication and was arrested for impaired driving. Once at police headquarters he provided two samples of his breath that exceeded the legal limit. The male was subsequently charged with impaired driving.

At about 1 p.m. members of the Camrose Police Service observed a

young male driving a 2009 Audi A3, dropping off a male passenger at the courthouse. Checks on the license plate determined that the vehicle had been stolen out of Edmonton on Nov. 5. The male passenger was subsequently arrested at the courthouse for possession of stolen property and during a search, he was found to be in possession of two separate quantities of methamphetamine.

Holiday train stops in Camrose

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster It’s been two years since the Holiday Train made an appearance in Camrose and it is back on track for another visit this year.

By Murray Green

The Holiday Train will once again stop in Camrose to help collect items for the Food Bank, share great music and enhance the Christmas spirit, on Dec. 6 at 1:05 p.m.

“In 2018, Neighbor Aid assisted 1,886 families, averaging 157 hampers per

month. We were able to meet these needs because of the generosity of Camrose and Camrose County. In 2019, our numbers have not gone down; food insecurities are real in our community. The CP Holiday Train is coming to Camrose again this year and we are excited to be a part of it.

It is with events like this that support and rally for the local food bank and the support of our community that we can assist those in need,” said Jo-Anne Tweed, program director at Camrose Neighbor Aid Center.

Come out and look for players from the Camrose Kodiaks Hockey Club who will be accepting both nonperishable and monetary donations.

Take the chill off and head over to the Moose Hall where they will be serving hotdogs and hot chocolate.

And be sure to keep an eye out for jolly Santa who will be working the crowd handing out candy canes.

The Canadian train departs Montreal on Nov. 26 and follow CP’s tracks west to Vancouver. Performing free concerts from Montreal to Calgary are Scott Helman and Madeline Merlo. CP Holiday Train will end the tour in the Vancouver area on Dec. 17.

The Holiday Train will stop in Provost on Dec. 5 at 5:55 p.m. and then hits Hardisty (east end of CP railway yard, west of Highway 881 overpass) at 9 p.m.

On Dec. 6, the first

stop is in Camrose at 52 Avenue and 50 Street, next to Moose Family Centre at 1:05 p.m. People are encouraged to bring an item for Neighbor Aid Center’s Food Bank. After leaving, the train then goes to Wetaskiwin for a 3:25 p.m. show.

Madeline Merlo is a Canadian country music singer-songwriter.

She released her debut album, Free Soul, in 2016. A year before, she received the Rising Star award from the Canadian Country Music Association. She last appeared in Camrose at the Big Valley Jamboree on Aug. 4, 2017.

Since the May 2017 release of Scott Helman’s full-length album Hôtel De Ville, the four-time JUNO Award nominee has maintained a relentless touring schedule in support of the album and it’s hit singles “Kinda Complicated”, “Ripple Effect” and the goldcertified “PDA”.

This show is hitting the world by storm. “Western Canada is one of the last places in the world to which our company has not toured. This is a very exciting opportunity for us to experience the hospitality and the sights of a new and exciting location. We have played twice in Vancouver, and loved it, and are really excited to experience even more than that beautiful city. Canada has always been one of our favourite countries to tour,” said Lachlan Binns, company director, production and marketing.

Backbone is a combination of a circus and a show of human strength and athleticism.

“When you distil acrobatics down to its essence it is a combination of strength, balance and coordination. We perform complicated acrobatic skills and sequences, but strive to also explore the basic ways that you can lift, balance and coordinate your body. We do things that any person could appreciate. We lift heavy stones, we balance long wooden poles, we perform acts of extreme endurance. We use this mix of complex and simple ideas to create a unique style that audiences can truly engage and appreciate,” he added.

Music and visuals brings the action to the forefront. “The show has no narrative, instead, it is a collection of strong images and ideas. The meaning can be interpreted by each member of the audience in their own way. It is driven by a soaring sound track that goes from driving percussion to delicate piano,” said Lachlan.

The actions will leave the audiences spellbound at what they can do. “The show revolves around strength and the multitude of ways we can be strong.

The strength of an individual or the power of a

Clinical practice is both an art and a science. The medical/health humanities is an emerging interdisciplinary field that connects medicine, the arts, humanities and the social sciences to develop well-rounded health professionals. During this lecture, Pamela Brett-MacLean (Director of the Arts & Humanities in Health & Medicine (AHHM) program at the University of Alberta) will discuss the roles that the arts and humanities play in health and medicine, while providing examples of the research and teaching practices by the AHHM program.

This is one of a series of events celebrating the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci, 500 years after his death.

Gwynne Dyer has become one of the most well known speakers and authors on national and international affairs in this country.

He has worked as a freelance journalist, columnist, broadcaster and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years. Listen to this acclaimed Canadian, speaking on his latest book Growing Pains: the future of democracy (and work).

He will be at the Bailey Theatre on Wednesday, Nov. 27 starting at 7:30 p.m.

His first television series, the seven-part documentary War, was aired in 45 countries in the mid1980s. One episode, The Profession of Arms, was nominated for an Academy Award.

Born in Newfoundland, he received degrees from Canadian, American and British universities, finishing with a Ph.D. in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London.

He served in three navies and held academic appointments at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Oxford University before launching his twice-weekly column on international affairs, which is published by over 175 papers in some 45 countries.

His book Climate Wars is based on his recent CBC Ideas series of the same name, deals with the frightening geopolitical implications of large-scale climate change and has just been published in Canada.

Crawling from the Wreckage traces the world’s halting emergence from the dark tunnel of the past decade, a time marked by exaggerated fears of terrorism, futile and unnecessary wars in the Middle East, neglect of climate change and financial nearcollapse.

Canadian f iddle champion Scott Woods announced that his 2019 Old Time Country Christmas Tour will stop here on Nov. 21 at the Camrose United Church.

His two-hour show sparkles with heartfelt renditions of seasonal song favourites, family humour, trick fiddling and even some sensational step-dancing.

Woods, along with an incredibly talented group of musicians, are set to put Camrose and area music fans in the holiday spirit.

“Our Christmas show is a lot of fun and is a real Christmas show from start to finish,” said Scott. “My personal pet peeve is when artists say it is going to be a Christmas show and they play two Christmas songs.”

The Old Time Country Christmas Tour celebrates the holiday season with the sweet harmonies of twin fiddles with lots of traditional Christmas music, traditional country, western swing, country gospel and old-time fiddle tunes.

Enjoy sensational step dancing, wholesome family humour and Scott’s famous trick fiddling – somersaults and walking on a barrel – all while playing his fiddle.

The Branson-style live show will feature Woods

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Scott Woods and his sister Kendra Norris played together during a concert in Camrose. Woods and his band will be back at the Camrose United Church for a Country Christmas concert on Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.

performing along with several other nationally acclaimed Canadian musicians including Canada’s Yodelin’ Cowgirl Naomi Bristow, “The Telecaster Master” Steve Piticco who is a Canadian Country Music Award winner and Guitar Player of the Year; “Spaghetti Legs” Leo Stock; and Scott’s own sister “The Harmony Ace” Kendra (nee Woods) Norris, who is a 2016 Canadian Open Fiddle Champion and a threetime Canadian Duet Fiddle Champion with Scott.

Scott’s love of fiddling has been passed down through six generations. He studied classical violin from age four and plays several instruments: drums, bass, piano, guitar, saxophone and clarinet.

Scott is a multiple winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Championships and a Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the Year.

His famous trick fiddling routine, where he turns somersaults and walks on a barrel while playing his fiddle has earned him the nickname “The Flippin’ Fiddler” and three consecutive Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship titles. For seven years, Scott was the musical director of Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee, which toured extensively in Canada. Scott lives in Fergus, Ontario, enjoys riding his motorcycle and traveling with his trailer.

Forever in Plaid blends music with acting

By Murray Green

Popular 1950-60s musical Forever in Plaid will be brought back to the theatre stage from Nov. 23 to Dec. 8.

Klaglahachie Fine Arts Society’s annual main stage production features the hit show of a story of a men’s harmony group from years gone by that magically comes back to life in 2019 to perform their show for the very first time. Only this time, it is at the Ponoka United Church.

The harmony group stars Jinx, Frankie (his real name is Francis), Sparky and Smudge, a quartet with big dreams that almost got its big break in 1964 at an airport cocktail bar. Almost.

55 years pass and “because of all the astro-technical stuff, like the stars being in conjunction with the positions of the planets and the sounds of our voices, it’s finally possible for them to do the show, which they couldn’t, and now can.

The Plaids open their show with “Three Coins in the Fountain,” a song which Frank Sinatra topped the charts with for three weeks in 1954.

The show continues with songs made famous by artists such as Harry Belafonte, Hoagy Carmichael and Perry Como. Audience members of all ages are sure to enjoy the show’s classic barbershop-style melodies and hilarious onstage antics.

The show stars Douglas Graham (Edmonton), Cristian Jonsson (Olds), Levi Derowin (Lacombe), and Keenan Nooskey (Red Deer). The cast is directed by Tanya Heyden-Kaye (Ponoka) with music direction by Graham Boyes (Ponoka) and vocal coaching by Perry Wilson (Ponoka).

Klaglahachie Fine Arts Society is a non-profit community theatre company formed in Ponoka in 2007 with a mission of teaching music and acting to the community and showcasing Alberta talent.

This deliciously fun revue is chock-full of classic barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies, and hilarious onstage antics.

This musical is suitable for all ages including children.

Forever Plaid is an offBroadway musical revue written by Stuart Ross, and first performed in New York in 1989.

The songs they sing during the course of the musical include “Sixteen Tons”, “Chain Gang”, “Shangri-La” and “Love is a Many-Splendored Thing”.

Nolan returns to the Bailey for theatre performance

By Murray Green

Rose City Roots Music Society is bringing back Joe Nolan to the Bailey Theatre stage on Friday, Nov. 22 at 8 p.m.

It’s not every day that a songwriter makes it from open mic nights to a sought after concert performer.

Joe’s old soul lyrics and striking vocals attracts fans where ever he goes.​ His distinctive vo-

cals and range of expression reaches extreme levels at times. Joe’s songs are attuned to the world of youthful melodramas in which he, an artist in his early 20s lives and an older, deeper level of human experience.

The strength of his debut record, Goodbye Cinderella (2011), earned a nomination for Canadian

Folk Music Award Emerging Artist of the Year.

His latest work is Cry Baby, an album that finally opens up what he has kept locked tightly for the past three years. The 10-song collection is a trip through melancholic madness, touching on darkness and depression, broken relationships and endless booze-fuelled evenings.

Cry Baby is an unapol-

ogetic sharing of his story, and through that, finding a second chance and a new beginning.

“I enjoy playing in Camrose. I’ve played at the Bailey before and it is a gorgeous room, so I’m really looking forward to coming back,” recalled Joe. “I used to hang out in Camrose a lot because my sister worked at Augustana.”

His ground-breaking

new record Cry Baby hits close to home and is a departure from his previous work.

“My music needs to be seen live. It is dynamic and I feel like a chameleon because it is changing every day. I cross into different genres and this show is going to be with a band. It is going to be mix of rock and roll, blues and roots,” described Joe.

“I feel I’ve been restricted in the past, but now, this is totally my music. I already want to record another album in a different direction. I want to break out of that box I’ve been in.

It starts by listening to other albums and taking pieces and putting them together.

It still starts with a paper and pen.”

Joe calls Edmonton his

home, but feels connected to Camrose. “My songs begin with a vision. Bryan Adams has always been an inspiration to me,” explained Joe. “Most of my time has been as a solo artist. It changes my music by being in a band. I hope I’ve made some fans in Camrose. I want to reach everybody with my music.”

Tommy Banks wrote

a string arrangement for the final song. The song is called “Ode To Sturgeon County”. The song is a confessional on Joe’s past few years, as well as his childhood. He sent it to Tommy and asked if he would be interested in being a part of it and writing a string arrangement for it. He immediately got back, saying he would love to.

At about 6:30 a.m., Camrose Police were dispatched to a collision on highway 13 just west of Camrose. The road conditions were extremely icy and a westbound vehicle lost control, entering the east bound lane causing a head on collision. A third vehicle was also struck during the crash and the fire department was utilized to assist in extracting one driver from his vehicle.

The same morning,, police attended a collision on 68th Street at the entrance to Canadian Tire. A southbound van conducted a left hand turn striking a northbound vehicle which then struck a city sanding truck.

This is Ron. Last year, he got a $2238 profit shares cash payout from Vision, which he put towards the account overdraft for his bee keeping operation. Ron knows small businesses like his get stung by banks, but that hasn’t been his experience. He appreciates the respect he gets when working with Vision.

He also appreciates getting a share of the profits.

Can anyone be a Philanthropist?

ABSOLUTELY!

Philanthropy is a marvelous quality that we all have within us. It’s a generosity of spirit, a desire to help, and a firm belief that you can make a real difference in your community regardless of how much or how little you have to give.

Ben Wideman, philanthropist, has the spirit. He is shown in conversation with David Ofrim, Past Chairman and Ambassador of the Battle River Community Foundation.

Ben sees great value in sport. He was lucky enough, as a kid, to play in any sport he wanted. As an adult, he realizes that his parents made sacrifices to make that possible, and for that he is extremely grateful today.

Ben knows that there are parents in this community who would love to do the same for their children, but simply cannot afford to do so. He told David that his fund was created to help kids, who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in sports as he did. Ben has fond memories of

businesses join forces to keep money circulating locally in the important upcoming weeks.

If you make your purchase at a Downtown Camrose business, chances are great that you’ll be able to accumulate Stamp Around stamps for that purchase. Collect stamps whether you’re shopping for something you need, want, have to buy, or for a gift.

Stamps can be recorded when buying your auto or home insurance, or when buying your groceries. You will get stamps when mailing off Christmas gifts, your visit to a variety of hair salons – even a stop at downtown laundromats. If you decorate your home or office, you can earn stamps at applicable businesses selling Christmas ornaments or garland. Get your computer updated, repaired, or choose a new system. Update your wardrobe, have your eyes checked or buy new frames, get an exciting new tattoo as a symbol of self-expression, or a new washer & dryer set. Heck, you will even get stamps when you buy many health-related products, sewing supplies, a new windshield or book a vacation!

10 stamps represent a total purchase of $100, which is one completed entry form.

Lions Club supports STARS

By Murray Green

The Camrose Lions Club has been a big supporter of STARS since the air ambulance was launched.

In fact, Lions clubs across the province funded most of the program in the first year and it when was called the Lions Air Ambulance.

“It is always so heart warming and fofilling coming to Camrose because the community is a strong supporter of STARS,” said Patricia Snow, STARS development officer, major gifts foundation.

The Camrose Lions Club invited her to speak and help present an award to Laurie Lindstrand and Lindstrand Auctions for their support over the years on Oct. 16 at the Norsemen Inn. “My current project is our capital campaign. I’m working on a future generation of STARS to enable us to have a fleet to meet the demands,” explained Patricia. “We exist to save lives. Almost everyone here has been touched by someone who has used STARS, or know someone who has.”

STARS is a medical service used for emergencies. “We put a lot of funding into training. We not only want to get their fast, but we want the experts

that are trained to attend patients before they arrive at the hospital,” Patricia said.

“If someone in a rural community is in a critical condition, they need care.

Sometimes it is a volunteer firefighter that is the first one their and looking after that person and they need to be trained as well.

We work with the people who are seeing the patient first. STARS was started in 1985 by Dr. Greg Powell.

He is a doctor in Calgary that saw patients coming in that were dying when he got to them. He thought enough is enough. He wanted to get the patients to him faster,” said Patricia.

Dr. Powell worked with other communities to get the program started. “Now we train people to be the best. In competitions across North America, STARS people consistently place in the top three. Dr. Powell is still finding better ways to do things. Having a leader like that fires everyone up to be the best.”

STARS has a mobile bus unit that simulate everything that is in a helicopter. “I remember a nurse from Daysland telling me she received training and the very next day a situation happened and was able to save that person’s life,” shared Patricia.

“We are so fortunate to have great medical staff and first responders on the ground before the patient gets to the air ambulance.

When people practice what to do, everything just comes to them faster. We go out to hospitals to train medical staff. They are the ones treating their neighbours and friends,” said Patricia.

“Our VIP heroes are the ones who receive training and those who donate.”

She showed a clip of Emily Donahue, a rural person helped more than once by STARS. In western Canada, STARS has 11 helicopters.

It is available 24/7, 365 days of the year. Statistics reveals that STARS has flown around 230 missions into Camrose County over the last eight years.

“In Alberta, 80 per cent of our funding comes from the community and 20 per cent from the provincial government. Now we are at the point we have to start replacing our old fleet of helicopters. It costs $10 million a year, per base (Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Calgary) to run our operation,” said Patricia.

“We fund one base with the lottery sales, the rest is by donations.”

Lions Clubs have donated several millions over the years.

March 29, 1941 ~ November 3, 2019 Alma Irene Anne Smith passed away peacefully on November 3, 2019 at the age of 78 years young.

Alma Irene Anne (Sebastian) Smith was born on March 29, 1941 at the farm in the Wishart district. She was the fourth child of Louis and Susan, a family of thirteen children, eight boys and five girls. The family moved from Wishart, SK to the family farm a mile south of Lestock, SK, where Alma spent her childhood and teen years. Alma and George got married in 1963 in Winnipeg, MB. They lived in several locations in Alberta throughout the years. For the last ten years, she resided in Camrose, AB. Regardless of what was going on in her life, her smile never faded. She always had a positive outlook and had kind words for anyone whom she met. She will always be remembered for her famous “Hello” and her signature wave.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Corrina Smith (Richard Kerwin); grandchildren Lisa (Wayne), Christa, Tianna, Peyton (Dylan) and Cooper (Azia); great-grandchild Ari; sisters Alice, Verna (Andy), Elsie (John) and Helen (Dave); brothers Dennis, Ed, Steve (Yvonne) and Allan; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Alma was predeceased by her husband George; son Darrin; her parents Louis and Susan; and brothers Joe, Duke, Bill and Ernie.

A very special and heartfelt thank you to Pastor David Eriksson and all the staff at Louise Jensen Care Centre. A sincere thank you to the amazing staff at Lilac Cottage. Words cannot express our appreciation for the care and kindness that you brought to Mom for many years.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions are greatly accepted in Alma’s memory to The Bethany Group, Resident Enhancement Fund.

Heidt bought this Z28 Camaro from storage

By Murray Green

David Heidt of Camrose was tired of seeing this classic 1980 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro in storage. He wanted to drive it to enjoy the smooth handling car.

“I picked up the car from my brother-in-law.

He had it in storage for 39 years, so I thought it was time to drive it. I liked the car, so I bought it to drive around on nice days and to go to the Camrose car show,” said David.

With less than a year on the road, the Camaro had low mileage and was in show room condition.

“The car has a factory 350 engine and everything is all original, right down to the tires it drove off the lot with,” shared David.

The second-generation Camaro was produced

by Chevrolet from 1970 through the 1981 model years. It was introduced in the spring of 1970. Build information was released to the assembly plants in February of that same year. It was longer, lower and wider than the first generation Camaro.

“I may end up selling it if I don’t drive it enough.

This car should be enjoyed and not sit in storage for another 39 years,” added David.

A convertible bodytype was no longer available. GM engineers indicated that the second generation is much more of a

LIKE NEW

Murray Green, Camrose Booster David Heidt of Camrose purchased this 1980 Chevrolet Camaro from his brother-in-law and brought it out of storage to enjoy driving and let others see the classic vehicle. The second generation Camaros were made from 1970-81.

driver’s car than its predecessor.

The second-generation Camaro was developed without the rush of the first generation and benefited from a greater budget

FUN FACTS

For 1980 the aged 250 cubic inch (4.1 L) inline-six was replaced with a 229 cubic inch (3.8 L) V6 engine, 231 cubic inch (3.8 L) in California, a first for Camaro.

The 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS) (4.4 L) 267 cubibic inch V8 engine became an option on the base, RS and Berlinetta models this year.

The Z28 hood included a rear-pointing raised scoop (air induction) with a solenoid operated flap which opened at full throttle, allowing the engine to breathe cooler air. A federally mandated 85 mph (137 km/h) speedometer also debuted this year, down from 130.

The Z28s had new optional grey five-spoke rims (later used on the 1986–88 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS), a unique upper and lower front grille and smaller revised graphics on its doors. The side scoops were also changed from a louvered design to a flatter one with a single opening. The 350 cubic inch (5.7 L) V8 was now only available on the Z28 this year.

The 1981 model was nearly unchanged from 1980 and would be the last model year for the second-generation Camaro.

justified by the success of the first generation.

Although it was an all-new car, the basic mechanical layout of the new Camaro was familiar, engineered much like its predecessor with a unibody structure utilizing a front subframe, A-arm and coil spring front suspension, and rear leaf springs.

The chassis and suspension of the second generation were greatly refined in both performance and comfort; base models offered significant advances in soundproofing, ride isolation and road-holding.

Extensive experience Chevrolet engineers had gained racing the firstgeneration led directly to advances in second-generation Camaro steering, braking and balance.

Although it began its run with a number of high-performance configurations, as the 1970s pro-

gressed, the Camaro grew less powerful, succumbing, like many production cars of the era, to the pressures of tightening emissions regulations and a fuel cri-

sis. Major styling changes were made in 1974 and 1978; 1981 was the final model year for the secondgeneration Camaro.

Music stands need replacing

2019-10-02 3:04 PM

By Murray Green

The École Camrose Composite High School Music Parents Association is raising funds to replace 65 music stands.

Susan and Chris Nichol are leading the challenge to replace the stands. “The music stands are quite old and difficult, if not impossible, to repair. Some of them are bent, some loose and some don’t stand up anymore, so we are looking to replace the music stands,” said president Chris Nichol.

The Nichols have a Grade 12 student and Grade 10 student in the music program.

“We drafted some letters to the community and have received a nice response so far. We want to remind people of the letter and if they haven’t had an opportunity to respond, we invite them to do so,” said Chris. “We are looking for donations of $100, which will purchase two stands.

Each stand is worth about $50, so people could donate in multiples of $50 so they know how many stands they are purchasing.”

The current stands were purchased many years ago (about 30 years) and parts

are hard to find. “The new ones would have separate components, so they can be repaired,” said Chris.

“The Battle River School Division is trying, but they don’t have the extra funds to replace them.

We have some instruments that need replacing as well,” said Susan, fundraising director. “We both play in the Community Band and use the same stands.

It is hard to read music

when the stand keeps sliding down.”

If someone would like a letter, a donation picked up, or more information, contact Susan at music@cchsmpa.ca and leave a note.

The donors will be recognized at the winter concert on Dec. 2 at ÉCCHS. “We may not have the stands available for the concert, but we would like the funds to be in place by the concert,” added Chris.

National Shoebox Collection Week Locations in Camrose

By Lori Larsen

Once again this year, residents are being encouraged to fill a shoe box with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, plus personal notes and photos for distribution to children in need around the world. National Shoebox Collection Week is Nov. 18 to 24.

Last year, Canadians filled more than 517,000 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes with gifts to be shared with struggling children in West Africa and Central America. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed more than 167 million shoebox gifts in over 100 countries.

Residents interested in filling and dropping off a shoebox in the Camrose area can do so at one of the following drop-off locations.

The Lefse House, 5210 51 Avenue from Nov. 18 to 21, 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

“Every shoebox packed by Canadians enables us to offer hope and joy to children in some of the most impoverished parts of the world,” said director of Operation Christmas Child Randy Crosson. “Please consider packing just one more box to increase the impact you and Operation Christmas Child will have this season.”

Shoeboxes can also be packed online at PackABox.ca.

St. Pat’s little nature ambassadors

By Lori Larsen

On Nov. 1 a group of high energy, enthusiastic, ready to take on Mother Nature in all her glory, St. Patrick’s Catholic School kindergarten students speckled the hillside at Stoney Creek park.

As part of the a Nature Kindergarten class, the eager students were led through a variety of activities and learning opportunities by teacher Nola Bellamy.

“This early years enrichment opportunity allowed children to spend the vast majority of their day outside, engaged in meaningful ways with their body, mind and spirit while located in a natural setting.,” explained St. Pat’s assistant principal Michelle Nanias.

“Working as a group of explorers, naturebased kindergarten children were self-directed through their own curiosity and play.”

The children spent time exploring the beautiful surroundings of Stoney Creek using all their senses and multiple natural learning environments to experience the world around them and develop confidence in their own abilities to investigate and to collaborate outdoors.

The children were also physically active and engaged in movement skills that faciliLori Larsen, Camrose Booster tated their balance, stamina, and strength.

It’s fun when we in resilience and compassion to contribute posiliteracy, and healthy living,” said Nanias.

As students carefully navigated around have nature kindergarten days because there’s tively to a more sustainable world.”

The Kindergarten Nature class is just the natural setting they were encouraged to no bells to tell us when to stop eating.

Nanias said the impact and power of the another example of how the staff and teachers express, in their own ways, their experiences in a journal and were later asked what they program can not be understated. “With the at St. Pat’s are using innovative ways of conrole-modeling and nurture of wise and skilled necting the students to their community, and experienced.

Out of the mouths of babes came youthful educators who understand the power of play creating ambassadors of our natural world.

“Our Outreach Program is invaluable. We have staff in the Shelter who actually go out and help women and children, who maybe don’t need to come into the Shelter, with such things as child rearing, seeking legal advice, and working through government red tape, among other things.”

The Shelter’s 24-hour crisis line and outreach program supports women and their families during crisis, assists with personal safety planning, and makes referrals to other agencies.

“The Shelter moves people on from where they may be struggling. A simple telephone call and there is help,” said Horsman.

By Lori Larsen

The Camrose Women’s Shelter is a not-for-profit organization that plays a significant role in the lives of those experiencing the effects of family violence, but also plays a vital role in Camrose and surrounding communities by providing services and programs that extend far beyond that of a physical building.

“The Women’s Shelter is an vital part of this community,” said Board chair

Lynn Horsman. “Firstly, we are an employer of 25 staff members. Those staff members in turn contribute to the community.

“We service a recognized need,” continued Horsman. “We look after over 400 women and children a year and have been doing that for 34 years.”

The Shelter opened in January 1985 and has assisted over 13,000 people who have actually accessed the Shelter, but

clients to leading healthy independent lives.

The Shelter’s Family Support Program, facilitated by a social worker and certified child care staff member, provides group or individual support for women including information and education around parenting, the effects of family violence on children and how to be a positive role model in the motherchild relationship. During a client’s stay at the Shelter, in-house childcare is provided for appointments, in-house groups and selfcare needs. Various groups and activities are provided for children during their stay, including preschool learning, crafts and literacy activities, yoga, field trips and visits from a local therapeutic service dog.

The Shelter also provides a school program for Grades 1 through 12 with classroom teachings conducted by a Battle River School Division certified teacher following the Alberta Education–Program of Studies Curriculum.

The Shelter is always welcoming new members to the Board. Commitment to the Board involves nine dinner meetings a year and sitting on various committees that assist with the governance of the Shelter.

Such committees include policy, personnel or fundraising committees.

“Board members have the crucial role of ensur-

ing essential services and organizations like ours exist and our cause of providing a place free from violence and abuse is a service that resonates with many community members,” said Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director NoraLee Rear.

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.

Five youths involved in a petty theft at a business became obnoxious with staff when confronted.

Camrose Police were contacted and the youth were all warned and served with trespass notices not to return to the store.

Police received a complaint of a male who had stolen a FedEx package from a residence on 52 Avenue in the 5000 block. A neighbour confronted the male who gave the package back and left the area.

Police could not locate the male and are continuing their investigation.

A female attended the police station to report that she was a victim of a fraud.

The female had provided the activation codes to $600 worth of Google cards to a male over the phone.
