ALWAYS BETTER – ALWAYS BETTER READ

Little Arienna Osmond, already five years of age, has a great grasp of snow golf: dress the part, use an oversized club, trick shot to get back close to the hole. That’s mom, Falon Pickett, ready to pull the pin – just in case Arienna’s shot works precisely as designed!

You haven’t really got maximum enjoyment out of the game of golf until you’ve played this iconic game in the heart of winter.

And now you can! And, you will be doing it for the best of reasons.

The very family-friendly 5th Annual

Charity Snow Golf Tournament is about to begin. This “Putt up a House” tournament goes rain, snow, sunshine or cloudy sky this Saturday, February 22nd.

The surprise course features high visibility holes in unusually strategic places around the city, sponsored by local businesses.

Registration for teams of four starts at 11:00 a.m. at ReStore and then golf, as you may have never experienced before, goes from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The day of fun and fundraising wraps up with cocktails, dinner and awards, beginning immediately after the course closes for the day (winter). The proceeds from the “white fee”, the meal and the refreshments will support Habitat for Humanity Camrose.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Nurses and supporters held an information walk near MLA Jackie Lovely’s office on Feb. 13.

By Murray Green

Members of United Nurses of Alberta held pre-Valentine’s Day information walks and other activities at 25 facilities in 17 communities throughout Alberta on Thursday, Feb. 13.

Local 15 nurses held an information walk outside MLA Jackie Lovely’s office in Camrose from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Those events include five each in Calgary and Edmonton as well as in Camrose, Drayton Valley, Fairview, Fort McMurray, High River, Hinton, Jasper, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Olds, Peace River, Red Deer, St. Albert, Stony Plain and Vermilion.

Registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses represented by UNA showed their support for publicly delivered health care and all the front-line workers who make it happen.

Most Alberta health care workers including UNA members are facing the possibility of layoffs and major rollbacks of contract provisions. As many as 750 RNs and RPNs could be laid off in the next year in downsizing planned by Alberta Health Services.

Formal bargaining for UNA’s Provincial General Agreement began on Jan. 15 with public-sector employers proposing four

years of pay freezes and massive rollbacks to the nurses’ current collective agreement.

UNA members’ Valentine’s message to the people of Alberta was that health care workers, like nurses, are the heart of Alberta’s health care system, which is the envy of the world.

Don’t let our government cut the heart out of health care, was the message.

UNA represents more than 30,000 registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and allied health care workers and public, not-for-profit and for-profit health care and seniors’ care facilities throughout Alberta.

Davis organ: a love story

Last week, a highlight for me was a concert at Edmonton’s Winspear Centre featuring Jeremy Spurgeon on the glorious Davis concert organ.

I know. An organ concert isn’t everyone’s idea of a fabulous evening. But for those of us who do think it’s fabulous, the evening was spectacular. At the end, the mostly older crowd rose as one in a standing ovation. People were cheering and whistling. (Yes, our genteel Silent Generation can make noise on occasion. Take that, young boomers!)

Among reasons I loved the evening were the magnificent pipe organ music and Spurgeon’s superb playing.

But I also love the story of the Davis organ.

The “Davis” of the Davis organ was Dr. Stuart Davis, a retired University of Alberta chemistry professor. In the 1940s, when Dr. Davis and his wife Winona (“Noni”) were newlyweds, they used to go to Sunday afternoon organ concerts at Convocation Hall on the U of A campus. They both loved organ music. Fast forward to the 1990s as the Winspear Centre for Music was being planned. The dream was that the concert hall would include a pipe organ. Specifications were developed and the company that would create the pipe organ was selected, to begin work when funds became available.

Winspear Centre raised enough funds to build the concert hall–without the organ. That would become a later project.

Dr. Davis’s wife had died after 52 years of marriage. Dr. Davis intended to bequeath enough funds to build the Winspear Centre’s organ in memory of his wife, and he put that in his will. However, friends convinced him that he should donate his gift while he was still alive, so he could actually hear the organ.

By now, it was years after the original estimates had been requested. Dr. Davis learned that the organ would now cost about $500,000 more than the original estimate. In a YouTube video, “Opus d’Amour–the Making of the Davis Concert Organ,” Dr. Davis said, “So I thought about it all the way home on the LRT.” He decided he would donate the additional funds needed.

He did not donate the funds in cash. Rather, he provided his gift in the form of shares–Nortel shares.

You might remember Nortel. It was a high-flying Canadian company, wildly profitable for shareholders, until it wasn’t. In the video, Dr. Davis says the Winspear Centre was able to sell the Nortel shares for more than $127 per share. Not long afterwards, Nortel crashed.

Shares were worth 69 cents. (Dr. Davis still had some!)

On Sept. 14, 2002, the gala evening when the Winspear Centre’s Davis concert organ was introduced to the world, emcee Tommy Banks put it this way: “I think we all know that Dr. Davis presented his gift in the form of shares of a certain company. [Audience laughter.] And that this is one instance, as regards his instructions to please sell the shares forthwith, if there was any inference of inside information, we’ll overlook it.”

The Davis organ is Canada’s largest pipe organ.

There’s more to the story, like how master organ builder Orgues Létourneau Ltée in the small Quebec town of St. Hyacinthe created the 6,551 pipes (you only see a few of them); and the summer the Winspear Centre was closed while the pipes were put in place and each one tuned; and how the organist and the composer collaborated in creating a new organ concerto to honour the Davis organ.

Each step was a love story in some form.

In the video, Dr. Davis says, “When I think of memorials, I suddenly realize the significance of this compared to a block of granite. The spirit of my wife will always live in the sound of this organ.”

Dr. Davis died in 2005, having heard the Davis organ often. At last week’s concert, I imagined that his spirit and the spirit of his wife enjoyed it too. ***

Ash Wednesday

We, as Canadians, often look, with a certain smugness, at those living south-of-the- 49th-parallel. They (we say) have so much anger: road rage, school shootings, as well as armed security guards in places of worship, and this is just the top of a list of violence. On Ash Wednesday (Feb. 26 at 7 p.m.), Andrew’s (Anglican) Church, in the company of other churches, will look north of the 49th Parallel to ourselves: First Nations’ and Settlers’ animosity, partner and elder abuse, violence and murder of women and our distance from all that is sacred, even from God. These Christian churches will meet without some of our evangelical sisters and brothers...a rift that remains unhealed.

You are invited to look in the mirror of faith and in Jesus: repent by turning away from sin and believe in Christ’s Gospel. As a veteran, I am saddened by the divisions that all too often exist between us and our American allies.

As a Christian, our interchurch rivalries are a scandal. I, as a repentant sinner, pray and hope for redemption before these words are spoken over me: “remember Jacques that you are ashes and unto ashes you will return.” I want to do some good and by grace make a difference for the better.

Jacques Vaillancourt, Camrose Oil crisis

Climate change is in the news almost daily now.

Scientists and economists are pretty much agreed that climate change is the greatest political, social and economic threat humanity faces. And yet, despite the mountains of evidence, there are still those who refuse to accept the scientific data.

However, at some point it doesn’t matter if some people choose to ignore

the scientific reality. The business world has made its decision and is moving quickly. Former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer speaking on CNBC recently said, oil stocks are “in the death knell phase” and added; “We’re starting to see divestment all over the world. We’re starting to see big pension funds say, ‘Listen, we’re not going to own them anymore.…’ The world has turned on [oil stocks]. It’s actually happening kind of quickly.”

The world’s largest money management firm, BlackRock, said in January that “Climate change has become a defining factor in companies’ long-term prospects,” and that they will exit investments in fossil fuels including thermal coal. The European Investment Bank, the world’s largest multilateral financial institution, stated that, “Climate is the top issue on the political agenda of our time,” and added “We will stop financing fossil fuels [after 2021] and launch the most ambitious climate investment strategy of any public financial institution anywhere.”

The message for Alberta is that our oil industry is the past, not our future. Investors have been leaving the Alberta oil industry and there is nothing any government can do to change that. It’s an economic reality we can’t ignore. This must be a wake up call for Alberta but it doesn’t have to be a message of doom. There is money to be made in the coming economy if we are willing to take the opportunities on offer. Alberta has the people and skills to adapt. The former NDP government was investing in innovation and diversification of our economy to the extent that hasn’t been seen since the days of Peter Lougheed. That was good. Sadly the Kenney government has pretty much swept diversification

aside and is all in for oil and gas. Somebody has to tell Mr. Kenney to pull his head out of the sand and read the writing on the wall.

Rob Hill, Camrose Paying debt

I am responding to the article which Murray Green wrote about the issue of Albertans being in debt. I was in that situation around 2015 when I found myself to be in debt over $24,000 to over 12 creditors. I was soon borrowing from more creditors just to cover the payments, which totalled over $2,000 per month, I was sinking very fast deeper into debt.

The suggestions which Murray gave in his article are very good, however, there are some more different solutions to tackling people’s debt.

There is a not-forprofit company known as Money Mentors. This company used to be called The Credit counselors of Alberta, which was a crown corporation. Then the government privatized the whole industry here in Alberta.

Money mentors offers to anyone free financial courses, which can help the average person get out of debt or avoid getting into debt.

This company also offers a program called The Orderly Payment of Debt, which is a court arrangement which places all the person’s debt into one payment with only a five per cent interest added to the debt. The person can pay off the debt over a period of time.

I paid my OPOD off in 42 months instead of 52 months. It is good to be debt free. Mr. Green’s article was very good, however, this is my advice, which I have taken from personal experience.

spend time with patients and their families. It is an excellent way to model behavior, reinforce culture, and learn about opportunities for improvement.

Leadership Updates Our leadership team is changing as we have recently recruited a temporary Emergency Room Manager Torrie Doll, a Unit 3 Mental Health Manager Jamie Luckwell, and a new Program Manager Stacey Brewster for the Emergency Room, Unit 1 Specialty Care, Unit 2 Medicine, the Community Cancer Care Unit, and Unit 3 Mental Health. Richard Likely joined our team as the temporary Hospitality Manager in charge of Environmental Services and Food & Nutrition Services.

Parking at St. Mary’s Hospital Visitor parking at the hospital has been a challenge for many years. This year we have made the change to a monitored parking lot to ensure that staff, physicians, and visitors are parking in their designated areas. Fees that are collected at the site will assist St Mary’s Hospital in the ongoing maintenance, repairs, and upkeep of the parking lot.

Yearly Donations St. Mary’s Hospital wants to thank the community members who so graciously donated to the St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation. Your donations this year provided much needed major and minor equipment, and a total of 12 recipients received $10,360.00 in staff scholarships to further their education. Your donations provided the financial support to finish renovating the Emergency Department. The Emergency renovation improved safety and security for the staff and patients, including increased visual sight lines with the waiting area and the treatment rooms. This project also created a safe room for observing patients, and improved workspace and layout for staff and physicians. The total donations received by the St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose Foundation in 2019 was $447,997.

Physician Recruitment

Augustana recognizes community awards

By Murray Green

The Community Awards Program at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus presented 183 students with 233 donor-funded student awards, scholarships and bursaries totaling more than $302,000 on Feb. 11.

The Lois Aspenes Award went to the entire 2004 board of regents at Augustana. The board was responsible for changing the private institution Camrose Lutheran College/University to the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

Chair of the board Stanley Gooch responded to the prestigious award.

“It is special to be a part of a group that is being honoured in the name of Lois Aspenes.

She dedicated her entire life to service at Augustana, Camrose Lutheran College and alumni. It is an honour, as the last chair of Camrose Lutheran College, to speak on behalf of my outstanding colleagues,” said Gooch.

“The college was founded by Norwegians in 1910 to provide education for rural students at the high school level.

As Alberta changed, the college changed to meet those evolving needs and became a junior college for first year students. Then eventually it became a degree-granting college and university,” he explained.

“The most radical and difficult stage of change took place in 2004. The two or three years before were extremely difficult, mostly because of financial struggles in repeated cuts to academic and athletic programs. Staff cuts and deferments on everything gave us no hope for facility enhancements.

The Lutheran Church of Canada was not in a position to give financial support. Government grants

to private institutions were limited,” shared Gooch.

“AUC president Richard Husfloen clearly recognized the gravity of the situation. He formed the board of regents with people who were known to think outside of the box in order to preserve and enhance Augustana’s ability to serve the community. The board considered a number of options including merger.

We were very fortunate the University of Alberta was willing to discuss this option because they wanted to become more engaged in rural Alberta,” he shared with students.

“We found the government, largely due to MLA LeRoy Johnson, to not just be supportive, but added a substantial amount of money to make this merger happen.”

He told of Lutheran concerns about maintaining religious values and keeping Ronning Centre in place.

“Many of you are responsible for what has happened since 2004.

We, the board of regents, thank you for making our dream come true. The Norwegian pioneers of 1910 would be astounded at what this institution on the edge of Camrose has become.”

Student Thaovy Nguyen thanked the award donors on behalf of all student recipients.

“We are here to celebrate the power of education, achievements of our fellow peers and the community members who have contributed to make an impact on our lives.

Donors you have not only supported our education, you have fueled our desire to broaden our horizons, you have also bonded us with students from various backgrounds to support each other’s ideas and endeavors.”

Grose comedy offers quick wit, hosted by the Kodiaks

By Murray Green

Comedian Andrew Grose, of the Edmonton Comedy Festival, is bringing his latest material to the Camrose Kodiaks annual banquet on Feb. 29 at the Norsemen Inn. His unique and hilarious observations of life as a husband and father have landed him headline spots across North America and around the world.

He is the perfect entertainment for the Kodiaks fundraiser.

After more than two decades, Andrew has charmed countless audiences with his hilariously relatable material and quick wit. He’s performed on some of the most prestigious stages in Canada from Montreal’s Just for Laughs to the Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show.

He’s appeared on countless television specials and at all the major festivals in Canada, including the Edmonton

Comedy Festival, which he’s produced for the last 10 years. For seven years, he was the cohost of one of the most popular radio shows in Edmonton, but he decided to hang up the radio microphone last year and grab the stage microphone full time.

His very first show after retiring from radio was in Camrose at the Bailey Theatre.

Augustana will be hosting an Indigenous performance series throughout the month of February.

Cultural studies professor Erin Sutherland has arranged three Indigenous performances and artist talks at Augustana.

We not only enjoyed International Week (which took place during the first week of the month and featured everything from dumpling-making to pow wow dancing), but have celebrated Black History month through the many events and displays offered by our students in the Diversity Working Group, and look forward to Pride Week, which kicks off on Feb. 24.

But what about in between? Cultural studies professor Sutherland has that covered. She has curated a performance series involving three Indigenous artists throughout February, to give artist talks and presentations, and to shed some light on the great diversity that exists within Indigenous artists and performers.

The first performance took place on Feb. 4. Award winning artist Adrian Stimson, along with his alter ego The Shaman Exterminator, joined us for

Elizabeth Irvine Photo The Shaman Exterminator performance was held at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

an unforgettable performance. The performance had The Shaman Exterminator devour English pastries in colonial garb as a comment on the idea of hubris, or extreme pride, in the context of colonialism.

His visceral presentation was an experience not to be missed. Stimson, a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation in Southern Alberta, also gave an artist talk the previous day on Living Artfully, or what it’s like to live in his art daily.

Augustana will welcome another artist on Feb. 19 and 20. Tsema Igharas is an interdisciplinary artist and a mem-

ber of the Tahltan First Nation. Her art spans design, visual culture and nature, and she will be presenting a sound/sewing/ time machine that resonates industrial sounds from the Canadian North.

Her performance will question everyday experiences with materials mined from Indigenous territories and will take place on Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. with her artist talk at 2 p.m. the day before.

Last in the series is Elisa Harkins, a Cherokee/ Mvskoke artist and composer originally from Oklahoma. Harkins uses her Cherokee/Mvskoke languages, electronic music, sculpture and the body as tools to present on translation, language preservation and Indigenous musicology. She will be presenting Wampum, a project where she sings in English, Cherokee and Muscogee (Cree) on Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. at the Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, with her artist talk the day before in the Wahkohtowin Lodge on Augustana Campus.

Each of these talks and performances are free and open to the public. Visit the Augustana website at www.ualberta.ca/august ana for more information.

Augustana students to share an evening of music for the theatre Submitted Brown

by

Charlene

On Sat. Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Faith and Life Chapel at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, students of Music 335 will present The Many Shades of Love, scenes from the Opera and Musical Theatre stage.

Audience members for the evening will be treated to a rich variety of individually staged arias and songs drawn from the abundant catalogues of the opera and musical theatre world.

Since the beginning of the school year, students in the Music for Theatre course, under the tutelage of professors Harold Wiens, Charlene Brown and with the assistance of

collaborative pianist Tova Olson, have been exploring a deeper connection to storytelling through music.

This evening represents the culmination of the course as students Alexandra Brigley, Chantel Schultz, Colden Palo, Emily Jackson, David Salmon and Quinn Henrickson present scenes from Handel, Wagner and Mozart operas, including such much loved favorites as Marriage of Figaro and Cosi fan tutti. In addition, the students will treat us to cabaret style performances of the amazing music of Sondheim and to favorites from such Broadway masterpieces as Les Miserable, Fiddler on the Roof and Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Finances change when starting a family

3831B-44 Avenue, Camrose, AB T4V 3T1 Fax 780-679-2507 Toll Free 1-877-679-2515

When mulling the cost of starting a family, prospective parents can ask themselves the following questions to get a handle on their finances.

Financial changes are a fact of life. Changes occur at every turn, including when students leave home for the first time, people get married and when families purchase their first home.

One of the biggest financial changes occurs when starting a family.

Starting a family can come with a measure of sticker shock, particularly for young couples without much financial history. Since the 1960s, the costs associated with raising a family have risen exponentially, says the financial resource MarketWatch. Between 2000 and 2010, costs rose by 40 per cent. Data from Money.com indicates that, as of 2015, American parents spent, on average, more than $230,000 on child costs from birth until the age of 17. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that today that number is closer to $245,000 per child, which does not include the cost of college. BabyCenter.com offers a cost comparison tool to help prospective parents get started on creating family budgets.

When planning the cost of starting a family, prospective parents can ask themselves the following questions to get a handle on their finances.

Can I afford big-ticket baby items related to safety and comfort? Items may

include a new vehicle with high crash-test ratings, or renovations to a home to provide a safe nursery. If renovations are unlikely, then would-be parents may need to consider the costs of moving.

Have I considered daily child expenses? Diapers, formula, laundry detergent, clothing for each stage of growth and various other items are necessary when raising a child. Make a list of such items and their potential costs.

Do I have adequate health insurance? Pew Research states that expenses for a delivery can range from $3,000 to upward of $37,000 per child for a normal vaginal delivery, and from $8,000 to $70,000 if a C-section or special care is needed.

Consider how much your health insurance will cover and how much adding a child to a policy will increase your rates.

Will I need day care?

In order to afford added expenses, both parents may have to work. BabyCenter.com states that a family’s average child care costs are roughly $755 per month.

Can I afford life insurance? Once you begin a family it is important for both parents to have a life insurance policy in place to provide for surviving family members in the event of an untimely death.

Couples who want to start a family can make the transition go smoothly by figuring out their finances before welcoming a baby into the family.

Battling badges take to the ice again this year

By Lori Larsen

On Feb. 29, the ice at the Max MacLean Arena will be ablaze for an arresting game of hockey during the second Camrose Battle of the Badges being held at 3 p.m.

Members of the Camrose Fire Department (CFD) and Camrose Police Service (CPS) will once again take to the ice to score for Special Olympics, by raising awareness and funds.

“Last year, we raised very close to $20,000,” said Special Olympics Camrose chairperson Carol Wideman.

This year, the players will be collecting their own pledges and some of the affiliates on the board for Special Olympics Camrose will be doing a bit of canvassing. If you are interested in pledging a player (CFD or CPS or both), contact Camrose Police Service or Camrose Fire Department.

Donations will also

be graciously accepted for admission.

During the game, attendees can purchase a slice of pizza or a “team” coloured doughnut with all proceeds going towards Special Olympics. There will also be a silent auction.

Last year was the first year for the Battle of the Badges in Camrose and the stands at the Max McLean were filled with close to 800 spectators coming out to cheer on some of Camrose’s finest emergency responders.

Despite a score that was a tad bit lopsided, all the players came out with the intent to raise awareness and raise funds so Special Olympic athletes can enjoy participating in organized sports.

“We weren’t really trying to win that hard,” grinned Camrose Police Service crime prevention and community relations officer Constable Kelly Bauer.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Fire Department Fire and Life Safety Educator Captain Jeff Knopf, left and Camrose Police Service Crime Prevention and Community Relations officer Constable Kelly Bauer, clash badges as they prepare to meet on ice during the Battle of the Badges hockey game for Special Olympics to be held on Feb. 29 at the Max McLean arena.

In response, Camrose Fire Department (Fire and Life Safety Educator) Captain Jeff Knopf said, with a playful threat, “We (firefighters) have been practicing all year for this now. We have even done some dryland practices.

“We just took it too lightly last year,” he winked.

“This year, we decided to make a game of it.”

Manning the microphone again this year will be the effervescent Lucas Banack with the assistance of Trevor Vinet. There is sure to be some bantering on and off the ice.

Unlike last year, the teams will be switching ends at half time to ensure there is no “slant” to the game.

Half time also promises some fun action with a frisbee toss, where spectators can purchase frisbees to toss onto the ice with the closest to the target winning, a mascot shoot out between CFD’s very own Sparky and CPS’s Corporal K-9 and maybe some other surprise shenanigans to get the crowd going.

This year, the committee has been passing around the idea of offering the fans an opportunity to tip the scales in favour of a

team by making a special donation to “bribe a ref”, “buy a penalty”, “offer a ‘tip’ to a police officer” or “hose the other team with a goal”.

“Camrose has been so fortunate with our first responders with all the support they give us (Special Olympics Camrose),” said Wideman. “We are very well represented

by Camrose Fire Department and Camrose Police Service.”

All kidding aside, Constable Bauer and Captain Knopf are delighted to be taking part in such a worthy cause that supports the long history of the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR).

“Who doesn’t love hockey,” said Constable Bauer.

“And who doesn’t love a good cause such as the Special Olympics.”

Knopf added that it is all in the name of fun and fundraising.

Come out and cheer on all the first responders who continually support Special Olympics through initiatives such as this event.

Anyone wishing to donate to the silent auction can drop them off at Camrose Police Service or Camrose Fire Department.

Centra Cam 23rd annual Bowl-a-thon raises awareness, funds in Camrose

By Murray Green

Centra Cam will be holding its 23rd annual Bowl-a-thon at Tabb Lanes on March 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. with about 85 bowlers.

The purpose of the Bowl-a-thon is to bring awareness to Centra Cam’s programs and raise funds, which will be used towards vehicle and building maintenance.

The majority of the bowlers will be Centra Cam clients, staff and board members. Some challenge teams from local businesses will compete for the Challenge Cup and teams from financial institutions will compete for the Bank Challenge Cup. Each winning team is determined by the most money raised. This year there will be four or five Challenge teams and five

or six Bank Challenge teams.

There will be some excellent bowling and a great afternoon of fun and recreation. The participants will be able to win prizes donated by local businesses, which have always been very supportive of the event.

“Along with the fun of bowling, all participants can win door prizes and prizes for the top fundraisers and top male and female bowlers. Our goal is to raise $30,000. You can also make a donation to the Bowl-a-thon by contacting our main facility at 780-672-9995,” said Shannon Brandt, Bowl-athon chairwoman of the Centra Cam Vocational Training Association.

About Time Productions of Camrose will be presenting Little Shop of Horrors from Feb. 28 to March 4 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

The shows begin at 7 p.m. except on Sunday when the matinee starts at 2 p.m.

Grade 10 student Andrew Guenther plays flower shop worker Seymour and Grade 8 student Faith Johnson plays chorus singer Crystal.

“This show has some darker, scarier aspects to it, while still trying to make it family-friendly,” said Andrew, comparing it to other productions he has been in with ATP. “Normally, our other shows would have huge casts up to 30 to 40 people, but this show has 16 members, so pretty small,” shared Faith.

“You have so much more space and it is fun to act in the larger space. The tech people are so great at their job that it adds to the show as well,” said Faith.

“Because we have less cast members, the harmonies become hard to do because you have to hold your own part with other people. Holding your own harmony is not the easiest, so I find that a challenge,” she added.

“This is my first lead, so that is my challenge in this show,” shared Andrew.

“It takes a lot of teamwork to put on a show like this. It’s not just you on stage, you have to work together in order to achieve your goal. If you don’t have teamwork skills then you don’t have a good show,” she said.

Andrew was in two previous productions before receiving the role of Seymour. “I have learned from previous, older students on how to be a good role model and leader.”

Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon play three mysterious girls who act as a Greek chorus and often provide back-up to the songs throughout the film.

“Research on the play helps us to know what we are talking about and how to act in certain situations because people acted differently back then (1960) then they do now,” explained Andrew.

“My takeaway is don’t feed dangerous plants,” laughed Faith. The cast explained how that is a metaphor for fame and you don’t want to keep feeding your fame and hurt the ones you love.

Based in 1960, Seymour Krelborn and his colleague, Audrey, work at Mushnik’s Flower Shop in a run-down, rough neighbourhood in New York City referred to as Skid Row. They lament that they cannot escape the neighbourhood. Struggling from a lack of customers, Mr. Mushnik decides to close the store, but Audrey suggests he may have more success by displaying an unusual plant that Seymour owns.

Immediately attracting a customer, Seymour explains he bought the plant, which he dubbed Audrey II, from a Chinese flower shop during a solar eclipse. This musical is rated for children 10 and older.

Godrey Blaque to hold Leap Day Dance at the Bailey Theatre

By Murray Green

You can celebrate Leap Day with local band Godfrey Blaque and dance like it won’t happen for another four years.

On Saturday, Feb. 29, it is Leap Year and Godfrey Blaque will be playing your favorite tunes beginning at 8 p.m. at the Bailey Theatre.

Godfrey Blaque is a local band that will be returning with their great classic rock tunes from the ’60s and ’70s. This band has been playing great music for more than 50 years.

The current band

members are Jim Lambe on drums, Dave Lambe on bass guitar and vocals, Jim Hough on the keyboard and vocals, Jan Nowakowski on guitar and vocals with special guest Jordan Leden on lead guitar and vocals.

Godfrey Blaque’s original members were Wayne Bellerose (guitar), Frank Duggan (bass guitar), Vern Reinhart (drums) and Nowakowski (vocals). Other band players over the years included Dave Lambe (bass guitar), Dwight Arial (keyboards), Dave Weiler (guitar), Dave Stang (guitar), Brent Harney (keyboards), Al Pillar (vocals),

Greg Johnson (guitar), Scott Stover (guitar) and Dennis Gustavson (guitar).

“Over the years, the band has played songs by The Beatles, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd to name a few. I think you might be familiar with lots of the songs,” said Jan. Whether you are a longtime fan or hearing the band for the first time, the celebration will be a party that happens only once in four years. Take the journey down memory lane, while you create an evening full of new memories to last a lifetime.

Five Alarm Funk brings dance party

By Murray Green

The Rose City Roots Music Society presents Five Alarm Funk at the Bailey Theatre on Thursday, Feb. 27 beginning at 8 p.m.

This Vancouver-based band is seven men strong and over 15 years deep into a career that has released six albums and toured stages on four continents.

And this band isn’t about to slow down anytime soon. In fact, Five Alarm Funk is just picking

up steam. Set to release their seventh studio album, Big Smoke in 2020, the 11 tracks get right to the roots of what Five Alarm Funk is all about: epic, intense arrangements, heavy groove and a ton of fun.

The band is Tayo Branston on lead vocals and drums, Gabe Boothroyd on guitar, Oliver Gibson on guitar, Tim Parent on bass, Tom Towers on congas, Brent Mah on saxophone and Kent Wallace on trumpet.

Described as gypsy rock, afro-funk, latin and punk sounds, Five Alarm Funk just wants to play fun dance music for fans to have fun with.

Branston, Gabe Boothroyd and the original Five Alarm bassist Neil Towers met at a Vancouver house party in 2003. Other musicians started showing up to jam. The parties led to gigs locally, which led a few years later to grinding bus tours across Canada and into the States.

Buick LeSabre is a great parade special

By Murray Green

Lowell Knutson of Camrose treasures his 1966 Buick LeSabre convertible he received during trade-in talks.

“A guy came into the dealership to buy a car from us and I got to talking to him. He said that he had this Buick convertible, and I was looking for a parade car at the time,” recalled Lowell.

Lowell owned the Norseman Pontiac Buick GMC dealership in Camrose on the east end for many years.

“He had it parked in his garage for the previous 10 years. I bought it in 1996 and I took it to one of the body shops in town. They took everything apart, went through it from the ground up, and then painted it.”

The Buick LeSabre was a full-size car made by General Motors from 1959 to 2005. Prior to 1959, this position had been retained by the full-size Buick Special model (1936–58).

“It has a 340 motor, which is rare. About 5,000 Buicks were built, I can’t remember if that was total or if that was convertibles. I drove it in a lot parades and now on special occasions. I store it in the winter. I drive it to Edmonton for a few car shows and several locally as well,” shared Lowell.

The name originated with the 1951 GM Le Sabre show car designed by Harley Earl; that car is often mistakenly attributed to the Buick division, but in

fact it was presented as a GM vehicle without reference to a specific GM division.

“The car is all original as best we could. I love this car because it is fun to drive. It is big and heavy, but it seems to just float

FUN FACTS

New grilles and four-segmented taillights highlighted the face-lifted 1966 LeSabre models. Also new, was a revised instrument panel with a horizontal sweep speedometer replacing the round pod instruments and new interior door handles. Both base and Custom level series were continued. New standard safety features included a padded instrument panel, outside driver-side rear view mirror and backup lights.

Under the hood, the 300 cubic inch V8 was replaced by a larger 340 cubic inch V8 rated at 220 horsepower with two-barrel carburetor and available with either a standard three-speed manual transmission or optional two-speed automatic, but the fourspeed manual was dropped from the option list.

Ordering the LeSabre 400 option upgraded the buyer to a 260 horsepower 340 with four-barrel carburetor and higher 10.25 to 1 compression ratio along with the three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic found in the larger engine Wildcat, Electra 225 and Riviera.

down the road and has a smooth ride.”

From 1959-61, the LeSabre was powered by a 364 cubic-inch V8, which was smaller than the 401 cubicinch V8 used in the more expensive Invicta and Electra models.

“My daughter used it as her wedding car and I had a nephew use it as a wedding car, so the family has used it on several special occasions. The car is still used a lot,” said Lowell.

The Buick LeSabre was offered in a full line of body styles except, between 1965-69, when its station wagon variant was dropped from Buick’s full-size offerings.

In addition to being Buick’s entry level vehicle, the LeSabre was consistently Buick’s best selling full-size car. Of the four nameplates introduced in 1959 (LeSabre, Invicta, Electra, Electra 225), the LeSabre nameplate lasted the longest.

Starting in 1964, all LeSabre models, except the Estate Wagon, shared their drivetrains with the midsize Buick models by switching to those models’ smaller-displacement V8s,

at least as standard equipment for the next few years, with cubic-inch displacements of 300 (1964–65), 340 (1966–67) and 350 (1968–76).

this scenario for you…

You get into an accident. Your insurance company says, “Take your vehicle to so and so.”

But you say, “I want to take it to The Auto Shoppe – I know Jackie Rae is the celebrity apprentice there, and she wouldn’t lead me astray!”

All joking aside, where you take your vehicle after an accident is the most important decision you can make. Two reasons: Number 1: You need to take it to a shop certified by the world’s leading auto manufacturers.

Number 2: You need someone you can trust, and that’s The Auto Shoppe in Camrose.

Wow, now that’s a body shop.

Oilers top Kodiaks

By Murray Green

The Okotoks Oilers showed why they are the top team in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with a 5-1 victory over the Camrose Kodiaks on Feb. 11.

Okotoks scored five straight tallies before Cody Laskosky notched his team-leading 34th goal of the season on a power play late in the contest. Goalie Cody Tisdale was kept busy by making 42 saves on 47 shots. Camrose fired 22 on the Oilers’ cage.

The Drumheller Dragons made sure Camrose won’t be catching them in the south standings on Feb. 8. Drumheller turned up the heat and won 5-1 to ensure they will finish ahead of Camrose.

The Dragons have a 12 point lead with five games remaining for the Kodiaks.

Camrose qualified for the playoffs for the 22nd straight season with their opponent in the first round likely being the Canmore Eagles. The Kodiaks were down 3-0 before Laskosky scored on a power play in the middle frame.

The Dragons added more tallies with one more in the second and another in the third period.

Goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 21 of 25 shots before giving way to Cole Tisdale who turned away 11 of 12 shots directed his way. Camrose only recorded 21 shots on goal.

The Kodiaks doubled the Bonnyville Pontiacs 4-2 with a good start on Feb. 7.

Laskosky opened the scoring in the first period to set the tone in the game.

Camrose added three more tallies in the second with goals coming from Cam McAdam, Blake Condor and Lynden Granberg.

In the third, it was all Bonnyville, but the Kodiaks stopped the comeback attempt. Netminder Tisdale stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Camrose net.

Camrose will host Calgary Canucks on Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. and the Canmore Eagles at 2 p.m. on Feb. 23 to wrap up the regular season in the Encana Arena.

Bear facts

Kodiaks coach Clayton Jardine has been nominated for the AJHL Coach of the Year award. Tyler Deis of the Okotoks Oilers, Shawn Martin of the Whitecourt Wolverines and Adam Manah of the Sherwood Park Crusaders were also nominated.

Erik Miller has decided to join the Red Deer College Kings after his stint with the Kodiaks is over.

Erik played in the WHL with Kamloops and the Kodiaks. He has 58 points in 51 games played this season.

Dennis Heck Dennis Richard Heck was born on April 20, 1935, to Peter and Clara Heck.

Dennis was raised on a farm less than two miles northeast of Bodo, Alberta with three brothers and three sisters. Dennis attended school at both Henderson, near the family farm, and then at Bodo until Grade 10, before returning to full-time farming with his dad. Dennis met his beautiful bride, Linda Caroline Gramlich, in the Bodo area and they were married on October 10, 1960. Dennis and Linda started their own farm a quarter of a mile from Dennis’s childhood home and enjoyed a lifetime of farming and raising their four children: Trent, Blaine, Marilyn and Tracey, until Dennis and Linda retired in 2009 and moved to Camrose, Alberta.

Dennis was a tremendous athlete and especially excelled at both hockey and baseball for many years. He was so proud to share the ice with his sons, and coach his daughters in softball. His love of hockey and baseball continued in his retirement years by watching his grandchildren play the sports that they loved, and slipping them a toonie for playing such a good game!

Dennis touched on many lives over the years through his involvement in the Bodo community, campgrounds and cemetery, his work with Bodo Oilfield Maintenance, Bodo Angels and A’s ball teams, and Bodo Oilers hockey team. Dennis was a true example of kindness, humility, generosity, honesty and unconditional love, and he earned respect from all who knew him through his truly kind soul and living his life through his faith. In his eyes, he was the richest man in the world, surrounded by the family and friends who meant everything to him.

Dennis is survived by his wife Linda; his children Blaine (Gail), Marilyn (John) and Tracey (Dan); and grandchildren Chris, Nathan, Jamie, Madison, Branson, Taylor, Randi and Carylanne.

He is also survived by brothers Marcus and Allan (Doreen); sisters Dorothy (Roger), Eva and Eileen (Dave); sisters-in-law Sophie, Lorraine, Martha, Lillian (Wilfred), Doris (Leonard) and Rita; brother-in-law William (Grace); as well as many loved nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Clara; his son Trent; his brother Albert; and in-laws Adele Heck, Chris and Joyce Gramlich, Leo Gramlich, Herman Gramlich, Harold Loades and Sam Neigum.

Dennis, you have no idea what you meant to those closest to you as you were too humble. You inspire your kids and grandkids every day to be the best we can be. We are all blessed to have walked the same path with you, and look forward to walking with you again.

A Funeral Mass was held on February 15, 2020, at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, Camrose, AB. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice.

Basketball Vikings ready to host playoffs

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings basketball team earned bronze medals last year in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference playoffs.

This year the team is hosting the main event and they won’t settle for anything less than an improvement this year. Provincials will be held in Camrose on March 5 to 7.

Former Camrose Composite High School player Griffin Lorenz is the supersub that comes off the bench to give other players a rest.

“We are having a really good year and I think our expectations are right where we want them to be.

We have been ranked in the top 15 nationally, which is pretty good. I’m excited to get to playoffs and see what we can do,” said Griffin.

He played last year for the MacEwan Griffins, but the coaching staff unraveled and he wanted to come back to Camrose.

“When I first talked to Dave Drabiuk about coming here potentially, was the fact they were hosting playoffs and that they had a chance to win. With the team coming off a bronze medal finish last year, it was definitely a big thing.

They had a lot of returning players and now have a chance to win it. They have a good team and I wanted to be part of that,” explained Griffin.

Augustana won 102-73 and 76-73 over the King’s Eagles to move into second place in the tough northern division, Feb. 7 and 8.

“I’m there to play my role. I want to help the team

win any way I can. The team is winning and I want to contribute in whatever way works for my teammates,” added Griffin.

“Our fans get pretty crazy at times and playing on our home court will be a big factor. For me personally, growing up in Camrose, it will be a really cool moment to play at the postsecondary level in front of friends and family. Hopefully, we can bring home the championship.”

Griffin has scored 185 points in 17 games this season. He netted 22 points against NAIT earlier in the season in his best offensive game. His points per game is fourth on the team, despite coming off the bench.

“Playing at home does add some pressure because you always want to play your best for friends and family, but I’m excited to play in the atmosphere here,” said Griffin.

The scoring on the team has been spread throughout the line-up, which makes it hard on opponents to key in on just one player.

“It makes it hard for teams to scout us because we have a different guy who steps up and leads us offensively every game. There are teams out there that have one go-to guy and if you shut them down, that’s the game. We have had seven or eight players that have scored 20 or more points in a game this year. That is unheard of on any other team,” Griffin explained.

“We find out who is hot in any given game and we go to them. We go with who-

ever is shooting well, and sometimes that changes from quarter to quarter.

If someone is hot shooting the ball, we focus on giving them the ball.”

Griffin said it is part of the unselfishness of the team. “Everyone wants to win and we don’t care who

has the spotlight. We are all in it together.”

With Griffin only in his second year of university, he said that he is excited about the future. “We are a mix of years and we have some very good young players as well as veterans. The young guys don’t play a lot, which is a tribute to our

depth. They will get better and I’ll be around for that.”

The men’s Vikings are in second place with a 13-5 record. Augustana hosts the Keyano Huskies on Feb. 21 at 6 and 8 p.m. and on Feb. 22 at 1 and 3 p.m. to finish home league play.

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.

Police investigate thefts Feb. 14

A traffic stop conducted by Camrose Police Service resulted in a male driver being arrested for operating a motor vehicle while prohibited. The male had been previously been convicted of impaired driving. The male was charged accordingly and later released on an appearance notice.

Police are investigating a fraud where a male requested another person to cash a cheque for him.

When the cheque did not clear it was determined that the cheque had been stolen. Police are investigating.

While on patrol late at night, police observed a male riding a bicycle.

When the male observed police he abandoned the bike and ran through residential yards. Police arrested the male and the bicycle he was riding had been repainted with the serial numbers removed and the backpack he was carrying contained breakin tools. The male was also responsible for a theft of a power tool earlier in the week from a local business.

The male was charged with theft, possession of breakin tools and later released on an undertaking.

Feb. 12

Camrose Police are investigating the theft of a power tool from a business.

Video surveillance was utilized to identify the male suspect who is facing charges.

The loss prevention officer at a west end business contacted police after recognizing a female who was in the store contrary to a trespass notice. Police attended and charged the female with trespassing. The female also had a warrant out of Red Deer and was arrested and later released on an undertaking.

Feb. 11

An investigation into a theft of wallet from a vehicle and use of credit cards resulted in two males being identified as suspects. One of the males was located by police and charged with theft, possession of stolen property, use of a stolen credit card, proceeds of crime and a breach of probation. A warrant is being issued for the second male who is facing similar charges. A female who later became involved in the use of the credit cards is also facing charges.

A female contacted police to report two suspicious males who attended her residence trying to sell and install Smart Home equipment. Police were unable to locate the men to determine if they had a valid business.
