Chief Peter Krich, Camrose Fire Department, and Chief Dean LaGrange, Camrose Police Service, in a little public pre-game battle of their own.

A crowd of nine hundred filled the stands of the Max McLean Arena last February to witness a lopsided

Battle

OF THE

Badges

It was the Camrose Firefighters vs. Camrose Police Service playing in a charity hockey game which ultimately raised $20,000 for Special Olympics Camrose. As it turned out, the Police turned hockey players doused the firefighters in humiliating fashion. With pride on the line, and much money to be raised for the same beloved Camrose charity, a return match has been slated for 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 29, on the same ice surface. In the spirit of Canada’s favourite game, there’s been an ample display of unbridled rivalry both online and out in the public as the game draws closer. Camrose Police Service members, in a daunting display of excess testosterone, have been overheard referring to CFD personnel as “cute, little fireflies on blades who couldn’t hit a five-foot net unless they happen to be driving a 10-ton ladder truck”. Not to be outdone, the proud but embarrassed firefighters are reported to have countered back in cutting fashion: “This year, the Police will have wished they had stayed back at the doughnut shop asking for extra pink sprinkles on their pre-game meal instead of coming to the rink.” Rumour also has it that the Firemen have been renting ice time at the rink for several weeks and have spent time with the Kodiaks’ Boris Rybalka for official training. Hmmm. Sounds like it’s one not to be missed! GAME ON!

Wastewater Treatment Plant project update By Lori Larsen

During a City of Camrose committee of whole meeting held on February 18, city administration provided an update on the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Project. Funding

City of Camrose director of engineering Jeremy Enarson explained the current status regarding the funding for the WWTP project, which is estimated to cost $43,300,000, approximately 8.8 per cent higher than the estimate delivered in 2017. Enarson related reasons for the “net” increase to the original pre-tender estimate, the most significant being an increase in the Construction Cost Index for Edmonton region. “Between 2017 and 2019, Statistics Canada reported a six per cent increase in the non-residential “Construction Cost Index,” said Enarson. Other reasons for the increase to the estimated cost of the WWTP project cited by Enarson included an increase to the size of the proposed process building which houses much of the mechanical process related to the wastewater treatment and a better understanding of the required electrical upgrades. He also indicated that some of the increased cost would be offset by a reduction in the overall engineering and material testing allowance; eliminating the need for purchasing addi-

tional lands for the storage upgrades due to increasing the storage capacity on site by deepening in the existing treated wastewater storage cells and a reduced allowance for the City’s “out of scope” costs from $350,000 to $200,000. During a June 10 regular council meeting, council was informed by administration that the WWTP project met the eligibility criteria for funding assistance under the Alberta Municipal Water/Wastewater Partnership (AWMMP) grant program; however, at the time of the Feb. 18 presentation to council, the WWTP project remained unfunded in the provincial budget. Enarson also informed council that the City received notice (Jan. 31)

from the provincial government (Alberta Infrastructure) indicating that the Camrose WWTP project was not selected to proceed to the federal application stage under the ICIP (Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program) grant program. “Unless there is another intake for applications for ICIP, we will not receive the ICIP funding. Essentially you have to make it through the first screening on the provincial side for there to be a joint application on the federal side,” said Enarson. Council inquired about any other grants that may be available, however Enarson indicated there are few, other than the aforementioned grants, that would be available for a project

such as the WWTP and of that magnitude. Enarson indicated the City could use other funding sources, such as the MSI grant, however this would take funding away from other identified City projects. “We know we are eligible for the provincial grant we just don’t know where we are in the queue,” said City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd. City of Camrose general manager of Financial Services, Travis Bouck will be presenting a borrowing bylaw at the March 2 council meeting for council’s approval. “There is $20 million in reserves (for the WWTP project) which means we need to secure another $20 million in funding.” Bouck explained that approval of the borrowing bylaw would ensure the City has the funding to proceed with the WWTP project, a requirement enforced by the province before proceeding with major projects. Once the borrowing bylaw is approved then the City can proceed with the WWTP project knowing the funding is in place. Grant funds, such as those available through AWMMP and ICIP would be applied if and when the applications for the grants are successful. Time line

Enarson said that based on the current project status, it was the belief of administration that AE

(Associated Engineering, the City’s consultant on the project) will likely finalize the detailed design phase of the WWTP project by mid-to-late summer of this year. “Normally, the City would proceed immediately with tendering the remaining components of this work under a single construction contract. However, AE and administration believe that there may be a strategic advantage in delaying the tendering process until late 2020/early 2021,” said Enarson further explaining that this is typically when the larger general contractors have wrapped up their existing projects and are looking to secure work for the next few years, which may lead to more competitive tender pricing. He added that administration does not anticipate a delay in tendering the main construction contract, but will significantly delay overall construction timelines, with an expected completion date of the WWTP upgrades by the spring of 2023. In conclusion, Enarson, on behalf of City administration, suggested council focus efforts on lobbying both Camrose MLA and MP to address both the provincial and federal governments on funding for the WWTP project.

Battle of Badges turns into a Battle of Wits By Lori Larsen

The Battle of the Badges 2020 event taking place on Saturday, Feb. 29 beginning at 3 p.m. at the Max McLean Arena has taken on a Battle of the Wits.

tion items, frisbee toss and other donations, go to assist Special Olympic athletes in the pursuit of taking part in organized sports. Special Olympics chairperson Carol Wideman was happy to announce that last year the event raised close to $20,000. This year members of both CPS and CFD are vowing to step up the game with some harmless bantering and fun shenanigans. The Camrose Police Service Facebook page was quoted to say, “The fire fly’s (oops, I mean fire guys), say that they have been practicing since last year’s game when they were roasted, but we are not concerned at all.” Camrose Fire Department players aren’t about to walk away when the heat is on. They retorted with an equally “accidental” remark. “Seems to us that last year the CPS mascot had trouble “qualifying” for their “shoot” out.” Adding his own wit to the challenge, CPS Chief Dean LaGrange commented, “Cops can bring the

lying down. Our blades are as sharp as our wits.” Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy a “fired and charged” up game of hockey, bid on some wonderful auction items, cheer

on their favourite mascots in a shoot out and enjoy the dedication members of both CFD and CPS show to not only the community, but the amazing Camrose Special Olympic athletes.

Camrose Elks assist provincial Elks By Murray Green

Camrose Elks Lodge exalted ruler Gerry Czapp welcomed Alberta Elks Association president Darren Scott to Camrose on Feb. 10. The local Elks and Royal Purple donated $500 to Scott to go towards the Fund for Children. The Alberta Elks Association is an organiza-

tion dedicated to the benefits and welfare of others whenever there is a need for charity or public service. There are 98 lodges and approximately 3,500 members. The members are part of the Canada-wide family orientated organization of service and friendship. “We strive to better the communities we live in and

help those in need through several provincial projects,” said Scott. The Alberta Elks contributes about $95,000 a year throughout Alberta. The Camrose Lodge has donated $35,491 to the local community and individuals in need over the past five years through fundraising events.

I was thinking about the term “empty nest” lately. Okay, I won’t hit that stage for many years yet, but it is shocking to me how fast time goes with children. They are constantly changing. I think that it will take years of mental preparation so it isn’t as difficult to send them out into the world. I like how the word nest makes me think of this warm, cozy environment where young can make mistakes. And then, they fly from the nest. Independence is success in parenting, I have heard. Truthfully, at this stage, I find it a little hard to imagine. If pressed, I would confess that I would rather build additions onto our house than send our little ones out into the world. I was discussing this with a friend recently and she said she has heard that raising children is similar to shooting an arrow from a bow. The parents are the bow and they can affect which direction the arrow shoots, but eventually they have to pull back and let it go into the world. I loved this, because it means that we can alter our children’s direction if we are intentionally thinking about how to do this. If we want them to love nature, we need to get them into nature when they are little. If we want them to go to church and turn to God in times of trouble, we need to take them to church now and show them how we bring our problems to God. If we want them to love to travel, we need to show them a different culture. We have this awesome opportunity to think about what inspires us, and try to pass it on to our children. Coaches, teachers and extended family also play a big role in directing “arrows”. When I was in high school, one of my teachers discovered that most of the class had never eaten a mango before. I’m not sure if they were really expensive back then or you couldn’t get them here or what. He brought in a case of ripened-toperfection mangoes one day, cut them up and passed them around. Mind blown. Delicious, and to think that there are parts of the world where this fruit is grown in backyards and eaten like we eat strawberries or raspberries in desserts. And I had never tried it before. It made me realize how much was out there that I hadn’t seen and experienced. I guess I still knew that once I had done some travelling, I wanted to plant myself close to the nest. When I was little I told my parents that I wanted to live with them forever. I think back to what it must have been like for my parents to have shot me out into the world. We drove down together when I moved into residence at Mount Royal College in Calgary. My mom had brought some milk and cereal and a few other things so I wouldn’t have to shop right away. We said our good-byes and I went to an orientation session. When I returned, I discovered that a cleaning staff member had tossed the milk, not realizing that someone had already moved into that building. I asked for directions to get to a grocery store and headed out. I got totally turned around, and ended up at a different grocery store, and finally back at the college. This was before cell phones and GPS in vehicles. I remember having such a firm feeling of pride that I had accomplished the task. I am going to survive on my own. I can even find milk! I cringe a bit when I hear about people whose children have gone off to school, fallen in love, and moved to a different country. I don’t want a Skype relationship with my grandchildren. When it comes time for an empty nest, I think my biggest problem will be to really pull back that arm and let my three arrows go. Not just a little arm pull back so that they land close, but to really encourage them to see the world and become who God wants them to be. I have already joked to them that sure, they can move far away to travel or go to school, but then they should move back to Alberta and settle down, preferably in a two hour radius from me. At least, I let them think I’m joking.

Seniors need to file income taxes By Christina Rehmann for the Seniors Coalition

About $1.2 billion in federal benefits go unclaimed by low income families, in part because they don’t know whether or not they are eligible. This shocking statistic is according to a recent CPA Canada report. The first step in determining your eligibility is by filing your taxes and now is the season to get that done. By now many people are already receiving their t-slips in the mail. It is one of those yearly tasks that can sometimes fill us with dread, but it doesn’t have to. With a little planning tax filing can be a breeze; ensure that you keep all your tax documents together, decide early how and by whom your taxes will be filed and ensure that your filing is complete by the April 30 deadline. Don’t owe the govern-

ment so you don’t file? Think again–even if you don’t owe, by not filing your income tax you become ineligible for rebates, benefits and credits such as the gst/ hst tax credit, subsidized housing, Alberta Seniors Benefit or Guaranteed Income Supplement. There are more great reasons to file: split pension income with a partner; claim medical expenses; claim the care giver credit; split the disability tax credit with a partner; claim the cost of attendant care; claim nursing home expenses; ensure the smooth continuity of financial support. Now that you are ready to tap into these credits and rebates a choice needs to made regarding the who and how to file. If your taxes are relatively simple you could file electronically yourself.

Budget includes tax changes for everyone By Murray Green

Last fall, the new provincial government tabled its first budget. While not everyone gets hyped for a new budget, there are some pretty big tax changes that Albertan’s need to be aware of for the upcoming tax season. Perhaps one of the biggest changes announced during the budget was tax de-indexing. This is a bit tricky to understand. Tax indexing is the adjustment of the various rates of taxation in response to inflation to avoid bracket creep. That is, the provincial basic amount–one of the non-refundable tax credits every Canadian resident can claim on their tax refund– and tax brackets–how much tax you have to pay based on your income–are slightly changed year-over-year to prevent inflation from driving your income to a higher tax bracket (and therefore cause you to pay more in taxes). Now, because govern-

ment will be freezing tax bracket thresholds and personal basic amounts at the 2019 levels for 2020 and future years, Albertans may end up paying more in taxes as a result. For example, Kevin earned $130,000 in 2018 and was under the $131,220 tax bracket. He ended up being taxed 10 per cent on his earnings. In 2019, Kevin got a raise and earned $132,000, bumping him into the next tax bracket at 12 per cent. Although he now earns more money, his income actually buys the same amount of goods and services that his previous salary got him because of inflation. Even though his purchase power didn’t change, he’s now taxed more. Likewise, in 2019 Kevin was able to claim the provincial basic amount of $19,369, which meant at least his first $19,369 of taxable income would not be taxed. However, with deindexation this amount will not increase with inflation

and will be stuck at $19,369 for the foreseeable future. Students are going to notice this budget. Along with provincial grants being cut by 7.9 per cent, the tuition freeze is being lifted. What this means is that post-secondaries will be allowed to raise tuition by seven per cent institutewide. If a blanket tuition increase doesn’t sound too fun, buckle in because there could be an up to 10 per cent additional increase in individual programs over the next three years. So, between first and third year, your tuition could increase by 30 per cent. Unfortunately, as part of the budget, it was also shared that both the provincial tuition and education tax credits will be eliminated in the 2020 tax year. Alberta students can only claim amounts earned prior to 2020. Announced in the budget was some great news for large corporations–tax cuts. Legislation has already

been introduced to reduce the general corporate tax rate from the current 12 per cent down to eight per cent by 2022. This will make Alberta the province with the lowest tax rates in the country. Unfortunately, there was also an elimination of some business-related tax credits. Included in these cuts are the Alberta Investor Tax Credit; the Community Economic Development Corporation Tax Credit; the Capital Investment Tax Credit; the Interactive Digital Media Tax Credit and the Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Credit for expenses incurred after Dec. 31, 2019. For families, according to H & R Block, the biggest change will be the newly introduced Alberta Child and Family Benefit. This new benefit is set to replace two existing provincial aids–the Alberta Child Benefit and the Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit.

Camrose has many excellent accountants that can provide great depth of service if required and you don’t feel confident filing on your own. For folks on a fixed income or low income (your income remains the same from year to year) there is also the option of phoning your taxes into a dedicated Canada Revenue phone line. Those who are eligible to take advantage of this service will have received an invitation letter with full instructions. For low income earners and seniors, the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) operates through the SOS Program (Service Options for Seniors) in partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency and has done so for 16 years. Like all SOS Program services it is absolutely free and operates year-round (however, a donation is always appreciated). In 2019, during the height of tax season, the SOS Program injected over $248,000 in income tax refunds back into the local economy. This year, SOS and the Camrose Public Library will also be hosting two Pop Up Tax Clinics so that low income earners can have their taxes done for free while they wait. Those clinics will be held March 12 and April 16 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the library on a first come basis. So, remember to file yearly and on time with the knowledge that if tax season is here it must surely mean spring is just around the corner.

Kurek appointed to ethics committee By Murray Green

Battle River-Crowfoot MP Damien C. Kurek was appointed to the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI). “Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government will face the ETHI committee that consists of mainly opposition MPs. I cannot overstate how important the principles of good governance are in a free and demo-

cratic society,” Kurek said. “I, along with my Conservative colleagues, will use this parliamentary procedure to hold the Liberals to account. “The Prime Minister has committed numerous ethics violations and has broken the trust of Canadians by displaying a complete and utter disregard for our democratic institutions as seen over the last five years. The Liberal

government will have to answer for their failings.” Kurek is looking forward to the opportunity to hold the government to account and bring a common-sense perspective to the committee. He indicated that Canada’s Conservatives will fight hard for the integrity of our governing bodies and will work tirelessly to restore trust in the Canadian democratic institutions.

BRCF grant assists mental health By Murray Green

Looking Back

through the pages of The Booster

25 Years Ago This Week – from Feb. 28, 1995 edition • •

•

• •

Cargill Limited chose Fleur, Saskatchewan instead of Camrose as the location for a new oil crushing plant, for their $45 million plant. Amy Ford, Erin Phillips and Kristine Saugen, of Camrose, made up three of four members of Alberta’s women’s biathalon team competing for gold at Grande Prairie – home of Canada Winter Games. Bev Cleveland was awarded 6 awards at the Alberta Quarter Racing Association’s awards banquet in Red Deer. The coveted Trainer of the Year Award was just one of the esteemed awards of recognition. Plans were revealed for an exciting and spacious new Camrose Co-op building. Churchmice Players were getting set to launch Cabaret at the Norsemen Inn.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Battle River School Division for the Mental Health Capacity Building Program. The $2,600 grant is from income from the Berdie and Bill Fowler Fund and will be used for the Connect Parents Group, a support group for parents of teens and pre-teens with behavioral and emotional problems. The funds also support the Calm Down Toolkit for Grades 1 to 6, the Relax program for Grades 10 to 12 and the Reconnection Revolution for Parents program. “The Mental Health Capacity Building Program exists to provide a universal mental health promotion in classrooms, for staff and parents. Anybody

involved with our students could benefit from our program,” said program manager Andrea Dyck. “These funds will assist with the Relax group that was created by wellness coach Carley Ritz.” Carley has been involved with that program for three years. “The original intention was to provide tools and strategies for students to cope with anxiety and stress. We still offer that, but it transitioned into a safe place for students that are isolated or needing additional support in the school. We were able to provide a lot of referrals to community supports.” The programs help prevent future mental health issues for junior and high school students. The Battle River Com-

munity Foundation exists to support projects and programs such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principle of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $6,370,000 to support programs and facilities operated by organizations like the Battle River School Division.

50 Years Ago This Week – from Feb. 24, 1970 edition • Dave Lyseng attended a Professional Photographers Class in Regina, working under noted instructor/photographer Mr. Sezmann, from Wenona, Illinois. Lyseng was working towards his Master Photographer degree. • 6-gallon trash cans were advertised for 99¢ each at F.W. Woolworth. • Joe Wallner of Hamilton, Ontario addressed membership of Camrose Savings and Credit Union at their AGM. He predicted a gradual demise of smaller credit unions, increasing loan sizes, a multiplicity of savings ‘vehicles’, keener competition and higher inflation. He also anticipated a cashless society down the road, and charged credit unions with taking more responsibility to assist young people in saving for their future.

Strike Force preparing for Special Olympics nationals By Murray Green

The Camrose Special Olympic bowling team will be a Strike Force at the 2020 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. The local team named Strike Force at provincials, qualified for nationals in late February in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The team is led by coach Faye St. Onge. Camrose bowlers include Jon Gurr, James McGillivray, Aleena Lazar, Jody

St. Onge and Mitchell Banks of Ohaton. “We’ve been practicing and having fun. We will have bigger competition, but we will try our best,” said James, about his trip to Thunder Bay. “This will be my first plane ride, so I’m excited about that,” said Mitchell. “I’m really excited to go to nationals,” said Jody. The team made the provincial squad after

competing in the 2019 Special Olympics Alberta Winter Games in Calgary. They will bowl in both singles and team bowling. The Camrose team practices every Thursday to prepare for the Games. Special Olympics Alberta is dedicated to enriching the lives of Albertans with intellectual disabilities, through the transformative power and joy of sport. Their vision is that sport will

open hearts and minds towards people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities. “We’re representing Camrose and we need-

ed to pick a team name. And this was after Jon had bowled his 255 and Mitchell bowled his 296. They decided on Strike Force. So that’s what our team name is,” Faye said.

Ten thousand cockroaches and two wolves

What do 10,000 cockroaches and two wolves have to do with anything that matters to you? Keep reading. It started with a story that made me laugh. The story headline was, “Name a cockroach after your ex?” The El Paso Zoo in Texas hosted a Valentine’s Day fundraiser called “Quit Bugging Me”. Former lovers could name a cockroach after an ex. Later, via livestream, they could watch that cockroach being fed to one of the zoo animals. For example, the livestream showed a zoo staff person saying, “This cockroach is named Aaron,” and feeding it to a lizard. The zoo received 10,000 names and $13,000 in donations. When I read the story, I confess that a couple of names popped into my mind. The sheer grossness of the idea made me laugh, and I had fun thinking about it for a few minutes. But then I remembered the story of the two wolves. Back in January, I encountered a new twist to the story of two wolves. You’ve probably heard the story. A grandfather tells his grandson that inside each of us a fight is going on between two wolves. The black wolf represents evil–anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The white wolf represents good–joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth and compassion. The grandson asks, “Which one will win?” In the first version of the story I heard, the grandfather’s answer is, “The one you feed.” But in the twist to the story, the grandfather answers, “If you feed them right, they both win,” and the story goes on. If we choose to feed only the white wolf, the black wolf is angry and hangs around waiting for a chance to attack the white wolf. But if we acknowledge that the black wolf has strengths–like tenacity, fearlessness and strategic thinking–and if we feed it right, the black wolf can become an ally of the white wolf, supporting all the good it can do. In the twist version of the story, the grandfather said, “To feed and care for both wolves means they will serve you well and do nothing that is not a part of something greater, something good, something life-giving. Feed them both and there will be no more internal struggle for your attention. When there is no battle inside, you can listen to the voices of deeper knowledge that will guide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance.” ***

We are complex creatures. We are all capable of generosity and kindness, of doing good. We are all capable of meanness and cruelty, of doing harm. We can be filled with resentment against someone or something. We can have a lot of fun thinking of symbolic ways to get revenge or punish those who have done harm–like giving a cockroach their name and feeding the cockroach to a lizard. But I’m old enough to know that holding on to resentment–however justified–harms the one holding the resentment. It can also harm others. I have personal experiences–experiences I regret–to demonstrate that. If we acknowledge our resentments, that’s a start. But it’s not the finish. After a while, when we’ve finished venting, we can use resentment to feed our black wolf strengths. We can use resentment as fuel to help us do something good. We can wait to speak, wait to take action, until we’re no longer angry and our words and actions are filtered through a genuine desire to do good for the whole.

I am part of a group of 150 Canadians participating in the 75th anniversary of The Netherlands this coming May. Most of us are descendants of soldiers who fought in that action, my father included. The group is called In Our Fathers Footsteps. Some of us are assisting The Faces of Groesbeek, an effort to put faces and stories to the soldiers buried at Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetary, NL. My task is to find information and a photo of Peter Jacob Schneider, Royal Winnipeg Rifles, Rifleman, M1662. He died on Feb.16, 1945, age 19. He is the son of Theresa and John Schneider, Camrose. The file notes that his brother, Nicholas Peter, also fell. But he mustn’t be buried at Groesbeek, perhaps Holten. Would anyone have any information about Jacob’s present day family, that you would be willing to share with me? Kelly Gray, Wetaskiwin No compensation

The recent announcement by the Kenney government to phase out physician compensation for longer 30-minute medical appointments is going to directly impact the oldest, sickest and most infirm. But the weak don’t fight back. Patients with complex, multiple and severe or chronic conditions require special consideration to ensure that one medical intervention does not impact or interfere with other conditions. These patients rely on the skill of a thoughtful and carefully constructed diagnosis and treatment by an engaged and compassionate physician. These physicians deserve to be compensated properly for the extra time they take with complicated clients. If the budget

is so tight that we have to put that burden only our most frail, then perhaps those savings could be found by tapping into the $30 million budget of the hapless and incompetent “war room”. Perhaps Kenney’s oil patch friends could fork over a portion of the $173 million they owe in property taxes to rural municipalities. Maybe claw back some of the $500 million in tax breaks to large corporations that ended up in the pockets of shareholders. But what else can you expect from Kenney. Ethics are not his strong point, whether cheating on the UCP leadership, or eliminating election officials who are investigating the election irregularities or the stacking of boards, committees and commissions with cronies regardless of their competencies. I fear there is more to come. Rachel isn’t looking that bad any more. Tim Belec, Camrose Future outlook

What is the outlook for farming and oil in Alberta? Bleak, I’m afraid to say, unless we look to other sources for jobs. Those of you who read my letters know that I believe the future we want will only come from investing in our citizens. Broadly speaking, that means investing in education and healthcare, not cutting resources to them. Most of you know that the oil and gas industry is a dying one, but for Alberta it is largely dead. That is because our oil sands production is too expensive and cannot compete with oil and gas production in the US. We missed the “window of opportunity.” Energy intensive farming is, I am afraid, going to follow, as the energy inputs will become more and more

expensive while newer farming methods take over. It may take a while, but I suggest that the trend will be unstoppable. For the past 100 years or more, people have been flocking to the cities, and this trend is not going to stop until most humans will live in large cities. It is not only people who will move, so will farms. Urban farms, like huge hydroponic operations are popping up everywhere there is a large city. The other factor is the development of manufactured food, like artificial beef and chicken, or any food you can imagine. It’s happening right now and within a few years will be commonplace. A simple chemistry lesson metaphor will explain how. As a species, we have learned that the universe is, essentially, made up of lego like blocks of hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms were combined into larger lego blocks that make up all the elements that we know today. These small and large lego blocks combined in an almost infinite way, over time, to form everything material we know today, including the trillions of cells that make up each human being. These humans are learning how to build almost anything out of the most elementary of these lego blocks, including any variety of food you can think of. Those of you reading this know that the speed of change is increasing and will continue to increase. The only resources we have to help us adapt, is human ingenuity, which will only work if we have a healthy, educated population, the opposite of what our government is proposing. Act accordingly. Harry Gaede, Camrose

Our country is feeling chaotic on several fronts. I don’t know the solution to any of the challenges we face. What I do know is that we are better off not speaking much, or acting, until our words and actions can be filtered through a genuine desire to do good for the whole. This is not a strategy for sissies or angry adults. This is for a strategy for brave grown-ups. ***

Keeping your walk safe By Lori Larsen

In an effort to make Camrose even more pedestrian friendly, Walkable Camrose and the City of Camrose have collaborated on a new Yellow Bin initiative, which will assist residents in maintaining safer sidewalks in high pedestrian locations within Camrose. “Walkable Camrose received grant funding from Communities ChooseWell back in 2018 to focus our efforts on walkability improvements,” explained Walkable Camrose chairperson Lucy Ernst. “We had a small amount of funds left over from that grant that needed to be spent and it was decided that we would purchase two yellow salt/sand bins to place in high pedestrian areas of our community.”

a salt/sand mix and have committed to keeping the bins refilled, as needed. “We are so pleased with the level of collaboration from the public works department,” noted Ernst. Each bin contains a set of instructions placed on the lid of the bin, which explains how to use the mixture and the purpose of the program. “Residents can use the salt/sand mix on icy spots as needed as a way to make the area safer for walking. It gives residents the ability to take control when they see an area that has the potential to be hazardous.” This program is just one other way Walkable Camrose continues to ensure residents and visitors can safely use the many beautiful walking

work, or to run an errand. It may be hard for people to get out for a walk in the winter when it’s dark and cold, but a thirty minute walk can boost your physical and mental health.” Ernst also advised that walkers should wear appropriate footwear when walking outdoors in winter conditions and dress for the weather. “If the winter conditions do not appeal to you, we are fortunate to have two indoor walking tracks in Camrose that are accessible at low cost,” added Ernst. “You can now purchase walking track passes on the City of Camrose website or in person at the Camrose Recreation Centre.” For more information on benefits of walking, visit the AHS site at https://

Structural colours are much more difficult to produce because they require precise surface engineering at the nano-scale, coupled with the knowledge of optics, but nature, somehow, is an expert in the field. Thousands of species from insects and spiders to birds and fish produce structural colours. Insects provide the most fascinating and the most numerous examples. As a biologist who studies colours of living things, I can confidently say that we humans are among least excitingly creatures in terms of colour. Our skin and hair, although different shades, are always uniform. We do not have stripes and spots, nor do we have areas of our body which are metallic coloured. Even more colourful mammals pale compared to other animal groups. Yet, most of us see the world in colours. Colour vision is quite rare among mammals. As Homo sapiens, we have engaged in what Chris Shilling has described as “body projects,” to make ourselves more colourful and more interesting to our eyesight. We put makeup on our faces, we paint fingernails and dye hair. In the last few decades, full colour spectrum tattooing has become popular. But with the exception of fingernails and some makeup, we seldom get “shiny and chrome” to use a phrase from Mad Max. Industry struggles to mimic nature in the field of structural colours, but there are attempts in the newly emerging field of biomimicry. Through biomimicry, scientists, artists and designers learn from nature and try to apply the knowledge to our needs. If you would like to find out more, I would encourage you to visit: https://biomimicryalberta.com/. Several years ago, I had an opportunity to become a scientific advisor to Carlos Fiorentino, a PhD student at North campus of U of A. A graphic designer by training, Dr. Fiorentino completed his PhD in the field of structural colours and their application in science and design. I encouraged him to focus his dissertation on the development of an online database and platform using a research collection of tropical insects housed at Augustana for most of his database. This allows both scientists and designers to learn about structural colours of living creatures. A public exhibition at the Augustana library on structural colours entitled “Living colours” showcases this research. Should you visit, you will be able to see, for example, blue Morpho butterflies, jewel beetles that got that name for a good reason, golden and silver Chrysina beetles from Central America, and the famous “Augustana moth” and the documented story which goes with it. School children and adults looking at the insects often ask me in disbelief and amazement, “are they real?” Similarly, when visitors spot the metallic silver and gold Chrysina beetles, they ask, “Is that car paint?” No, they are all real, natural, and untampered. Structural colours in living nature are the source of almost unlimited fascination and ideas for future sustainable, eco-friendly and biomimicry-based development. The specimens on display unfortunately are not alive. Their structurally coloured surfaces are exoskeletons that will last and look fresh for centuries to come. Come and witness the shiny and chrome, the glory and genius of nature, and see why it is important to protect the natural world and preserve it for the future generations. The Living Colours exhibition is on at Augustana library until March 27. For further information, visit: https://news. augustana.ualberta.ca/2020/01/living-colours-exhibitionopening-event/.

Harder performs for hometown audience

By Valerie Bailey

Bass-baritone Elliot Harder brings his music and talents home to Camrose where he grew up, in a performance at the Augustana Faith and Life Chapel on Tuesday, March 3 at 7 p.m. Elliot originally had some ambitions in the jazz field, but found his way into the world of opera during his Bachelor of Music

degree at the University of British Columbia. After graduating in 2015, he performed with companies across Canada, including the Vancouver Opera, Little London Community Opera, Opera NUOVA, Edmonton Opera, and Pop Goes the Opera. Currently completing a Master of Music in Voice and Opera at the Schulich School of Music at McGill Univer-

sity, he has most recently appeared there on stage as Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte, and as Publio in La Clemenza di Tito. The idea for this recital came from Harder’s brief exploration of the history of bards as purveyors of song and narrative. Though originally a derogatory term for itinerant musicians, “bard” became the official title

for those who worked for wealthy patrons telling epic tales in song. This evolution fills the world with a diverse range of repertoire connotations, from simple folk songs, to oral history, to broad epic verse. Elliot wanted to explore that range, while connecting it to musical styles that existed separately from – and primarily later than – the

bardic tradition. Elliot finds that this connection opens the possibility of finding grand narrative in all songs and finding joy in the telling of those stories. Elliot’s recital on March 3 at the Augustana Chapel is free of charge. For further information, contact the Augustana Fine Arts office at 780-679-1532.

Kodiaks to face Canmore Eagles in the first round By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks will be taking on the Canmore Eagles in the first round of the Alberta Junior Hockey League playoffs on March 1. The fourth place Kodiaks and fifth place Canmore Eagles knew they would meet in the extra season because the standings haven’t changed a lot in the second half of the season. The only question was which team would grab first place. Camrose defeated Olds twice, but lost a one-sided contest to Brooks on Feb. 17. The Kodiaks lost 10-3 with Griffen Fraser, Connor Brock and Laskosky scoring for the local team. Goalie Cole Tisdale started and made eight saves on 11 shots. Logan Willcott stepped in to make 25 saves on 32 shots. Camrose fired 20 on the Bandits’ cage. The Kodiaks beat the Olds Grizzlys 7-2 on Feb. 15 in the battle of the bears. Callum Gau, Carson Welke and Lynden Grandberg netted first period markers to lead 3-1 after 20 minutes. It was all Kodiaks in the

middle frame as Laskosky, Damon Zimmer and Erik Miller added to the lead. In the third, Grandberg garnered his second of the game to close the scoring. Camrose went four for five on the power play. Goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 14 of 15 shots before giving way to Cole Tisdale who turned away 10

of 11 shots directed his way. Camrose collected 37 shots on goal. The Kodiaks defeated Olds 6-2 in the first game on Feb. 14. Gau and McKenzie Welke scored in the first period in a 2-2 even period. Camrose added three more tallies in the second with Laskosky scoring

before Gau and McKenzie Welke added their second tallies of the night. Miller added the only goal in the third period. Bowerman stopped 29 of 31 shots in the Camrose net, while the Kodiaks recorded 36 shots on goal. Camrose will host the Canmore Eagles on March 1 at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. on

Defenceman Robert Kincaid will be joining the University of Maine Black Bears in the future. Kincaid represented his team, league and Canada in Russia at the Sirius Junior World Cup. His year continued with an invite to the CJHL Prospects game in January. Kincaid has a goal and 21 assists in 48 games so far this season. McKenzie Welke was chosen to the Kodiaks and AJHL all academic team. Teammate Cody Laskosky was named the league’s player of the week with three goals and four assists in three games. He is riding a 12 game point streak.

Myrehaug returns with Snowed In tour By Murray Green

The Snowed In Comedy Tour has Camrose pencilled in for some laughs on Saturday, March 7 beginning at 8 p.m. in the Bailey Theatre. Returning once again is local favourite Paul Myrehaug, a former Camrose resident. “I love coming home, but it is also very nerveracking doing the show in front of my friends and family. It means a lot to me and has been circled on my calendar since the tour was announced. This is a really fun one for me,” said Paul. “I tend to put a little more pressure on myself at home. It is a lot easier when you don’t know anyone in the crowd. I come from a giant family, so it is special to come home.” Paul was on two large European tours before the Snowed In tour began. “I was a support act for a very well known United Kingdom comedian, Ed Byrne, for 60 theatres and then I was at 29 theatres in Norway. This is the most happy I have been with my set because I’ve been running with it in about 90 cities. I stepped off the plane and went into a good rhythm,” he explained. “I turned 18 in 2000 and performed in some amateur nights then. Now it’s been 20 years and I am still nervous every night out. Once I get started on stage, I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s just the few minutes before that are excruciating,” he laughed. “I write my material in a cycle. I have a 25-minute set in this tour and I stick with it for the entire tour. I write from May to Jan. 1, usually on the UK tour. Those sets are challenging, so by the time I’m done editing and polishing them, I’m tired of writing and I stick with the same set,” shared Paul. “In May, I’m back in the clubs and writing again. I make notes along the way. My better half is visiting us on tour in France, so that is always good fodder for new material about relationships,” said Paul. The Snowed In Comedy Tour has turned in to a Canadian success story, celebrating its 12th year. The tour has now grown to be the largest in Canada with 70 cities from coast to coast.

Schultz always wanted to own a Mustang By Murray Green

Morley Schultz of Bashaw always wanted a 1967 Ford Mustang two door coupe. “This car is a bit of an oddity because it came out at the tail end of 1967 and has a 302 motor in it. The 302 engine didn’t come out until 1968,” explained Morley. “They had 289 engines before that. The 302 motor wasn’t put in, it came from the factory that way. I bought the car in Regina and actually bought it for my wife, but it didn’t look like this when I bought it,” continued Morley. “It was a young guy’s restoration and he was taking automotive classes in high school. I picked it up from there.” He pointed out that he always wanted one. “I have a 2007 Mustang promotional car that is a convertible and a standard. I decided to buy this one for my wife, but I drive this one more than she does. I always wanted one when I was young, so when I got a change to pick this up, I did, three years ago now,” shared Morley. “Don’t buy old cars from out of province. It took me a year to get this car registered. I changed from drum brakes to disk brakes and they wanted everything original. This car has headers on it and every little thing has to pass inspection. This car has an auto-

FUN FACTS

Ford’s designers began drawing up a larger version even as the original was achieving sales success, and while Lee Iacocca later complained about the Mustang’s growth, he did oversee the redesign for 1967. The major mechanical feature was to allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine. The overall size, interior and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes. The 1967 Deluxe Interior was revised, discontinuing the embossed running horse on the seat backs (the source for the pony interior nickname) in favour of a new deluxe interior package, which included special color options, brushed aluminum or woodgrain dash trim, seat buttons and special door panels. The hardtop also included upholstered quarter trim panels, a carryover from the 1965-66 deluxe interior. The 1967 hardtop also had the chrome quarter trim caps. The 1967 deluxe interior included stainless steel-trimmed seat back shells, similar to those in the Thunderbird. These were dropped at the end of the 1967 model year.

factured from March 1964 until 1973. “I put all the chrome on, changed the wheels and tires, I put on a new front left quarter panel, added a motor mount, seals, sequential taillights and some different things just so I could get it licenced,” Morley added. “I left the paint the same colour, but originally it was the same teal colour the interior is. It was one standard colour. When he changed it at the school, it went to white with teal stripes.” The Mustang was a regular model with the exception of the motor. “It attracted me to the car, I have to say. The larger motor is nice, but the headers were added later. It had great big mag tires on it and it didn’t fit the era it was from, so I had to change that. It looked like a young guys car.” The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

“It has the old ’67 power steering, so that isn’t as nice as it is today. It likes to wander a bit and you have to get used to that. You can get a kit put in to help, but I wanted to keep that

part original,” said Morley. “I used to farm, so I never had time to go to car shows. I only insure it for driving in the summer. I drive it as often as I can when the weather is nice.

Rotary speaker series focuses on agriculture D’Arcy Hilgartner was the guest speaker at the Camrose Rotary Club during its popular Speaker Series on Feb. 3. D’Arcy of Hilgartner Farms near Camrose, talked about From the Family Farm to the Corporate Farm. “Agriculture is such an important part of our dayto-day lives, our success of our province and nation,” he said. “Those working in agriculture in Canada represent just two per cent of the population. Yet it is the second largest sector in the province of Alberta. You add the agricultural related businesses, it jumps to 4.6 per cent.” D’Arcy farms northwest of Camrose on the multigenerational family farm. “Food is part of our lives, but most people have little connection to the local farm or ranch. It is important for us in the industry to make the effort to make those connections.” After graduating from the University of Alberta in 1992, he returned to Camrose to work at St. Mary’s Hospital and became an active part of the farm operation. “It was a downturn in the economy at that time and I had to work off the farm as well. I worked at various roles at the hospital until 2016, when I decided to work full time on the farm.” What started as his parent’s small dairy farm in the late ’60s has grown over the years and now D’Arcy and his brother Patrick are part of the management team. The farm produces

a variety of grains, oilseeds and pulses including wheat, canola, peas, barley, faba beans and flax. “The amount of land in Canada used in agriculture has increased slowly, but the number of farms has dropped drastically. Since my parents started, the number of farms in Canada has dropped 51 per cent,” explained D’Arcy. “The farms that remained have gotten larger, with the average farm having 840 acres. Keep in mind the average farm in Newfoundland has 174 acres and the average Saskatchewan farm has more than 1,700 acres. Alberta’s average is 1,237 acres,” he shared. D’Arcy has been involved in a variety of boards over the years, including the Alberta Pulse Growers, Western Grain Research Foundation, Grain Growers of Canada and Alberta Grain Council. Locally, he was involved with the Armena 4-H Beef Club and Camrose swim club for many years. “The farms have specialized. Gone are the mixed farms that our parents and grandparents had. I think of my father, who witnessed the transition from the horse to the modern tractor that has 600 horses and a modern GPS system. If he didn’t live through it, he would have thought it was science fiction,” laughed D’Arcy. “I can monitor everything on the farm from this phone in my hand. I can check the temperature and moisture level of each grain bin.”

He shared the cost of equipment and how farming has become big business, even for the small producers. “Our margins are very tight. Over the last few years it has been even tighter. It has driven us to be more efficient. Labour is more challenging. Gone are the days that you let someone jump into your three ton truck and drive around. Currently, we have two full time and one part time employees. They have to be trained on large equipment.” He is married to Lori and they have two grown boys, Brenden and Dylan. “The structure of farms have changed from family to corporate farms. Our family farm moved to incorporation in 1994. About 52 per cent of farms are still sole proprietorships. About 22 per cent are partnerships and 25 per cent are corporations. The key point in the incorporation number is that 90 per cent of corporations are families.” Corporations help with taxes, but also for successional planning. “A cor-

porate structure gives us more flexibility for transition from one generation to the next. The average age of a Canadian farmer is now 55 years old,” reported D’Arcy. “That number increases as our general Canadian population ages, but the key difference is that farmers don’t retire at age 65. About 35 per cent of farmers are 65 and over. I look at my father, he is 77 years old, and he looks forward to farming every day. Well, maybe not every day. He seems to have developed an allergy to snow,” laughed D’Arcy. “We all know that transition is going to happen one day, whether we are ready for it or not. Only 8.4 per cent of farmers have a succession plan. If incorporated, that number jumped to 16.3.” Planning is a long process that evolves over time. “With my two boys and my brother’s four boys, there will likely be someone who wants to take over the farm. We also want an option for my sisters’ children to join the operation. The idea is to

have a model in place for all possible situations. At the end of the day, we want to leave the land better than we received it and provide for future generations.” The meetings are open to the public beginning at 11:45 a.m. at the Camrose Resort Casino. If you can’t make lunch, the speakers begin at 12:15 p.m. The speaker series is at no charge, but there is a fee for lunch.

The 2019 tour received numerous standing ovations and was the most successful to date. Without major television credits the growth of the tour is all attributed to delivering knockout performances year after year. “Performing at the Bailey is special. That’s where I watched my first movies and snuck out of my house to go to. I biked from the farm to the Bailey just to see a show and those were midnight shows,” he recalled. “They have kept the old feel to it and it is impressive. I absolutely love that venue and it is perfect for standup with the right amount of people.” Four international comedians come together to create one amazing show with each bringing a unique and hilarious take providing something for everyone. Just for Laughs winner Dan Quinn is joined by the Great Canadian Laugh Off winner, Paul Myrehaug and six time Cana-

dian Comedian of the year nominee Pete Zedlacher. We are proud to announce that Erica Sigurdson, will be joining us. “We change up the order of performing between Pete, Dan and myself. Usually in Camrose, I will go on last because I have so many friends and family in the audience. It would be unfair to have someone go on after me when they have come to see me after the show. All of the comics on this tour are solid, so it doesn’t matter what order we go on, but there is a level of pride to go on last.” Be sure to check out the new video series Truck Jokes to see what it’s like when four comedians drive together and try to make each other laugh. “I really appreciate the support from Camrose. It is usually a sell out there. People have supported me since I started, so Camrose people have been great to me even at other shows and I thank them for that support.”

The Home Program offers free education about how to buy a house and then offers to give you money towards your purchase. The workshop will be held at the Certified Training Group Building (5051-50 Street on Saturday, March 7 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Allie Schmidt and Nathan Nobert of Camrose purchased a home through the program last May. “We were still in school (university) when the program was recommended to us. It helped us to learn and what to look for,” said Allie. “We didn’t know the process behind the lawyer fees, the down payment process, financing terms and what inspections were about,” added Nathan. “It taught us about budgeting and how to plan for a purchase. We learned that we shouldn’t get a car loan before purchasing a house because it affects your credit rating. We learned to save as much as we could for the down payment and tried to stay debt free.” Nathan advised to ensure your taxes are in order because they look at your past two or three years of history. “Record your total income, such as tips, because it gives a true record of your income and gives you a maximum amount of what you could borrow,” said Nathan.

knowledge and it was a fun day. You learn a lot that you wouldn’t have heard about before. The home inspection and what to look for was valuable. You learn about the conditions of the sale,” they both said. The Camrose Home Program teaches local people to learn about all of the aspects of purchasing a home. Realtors Marilou Yampolsky and Lisa Rohr are organizing the program that has already helped many residents. The national program was dropped, but the local realtors wanted to keep the program going. “It has been popular and one year we had as many as 65 people attend,” said Marilou. “Anyone can attend this program, you don’t have to be first time homebuyers. If you purchased a home 10 years ago, but want to get familiar with updated information, then this is valuable for you as well,” Marilou added. “If someone purchases a home within a year of taking this program, then they could qualify for up to $1,000 towards the purchase of their home.” Each year, about 40 people take the five-hour workshop. A variety of professionals give informative presentations. Lawyer Stephen Kambeitz will discuss their role in the purchase of a home, from the real

money transfer and titles. Home inspector Jason Field explains all the factors involved in a home inspection like major defects, things that are safety hazards. Mortgage broker Renee Stribbell discusses how to get a mortgage that is right for you. “One of the highlights is Stephen talking about the lawyer’s involvement. He has charts to explain and he makes it fun as well as providing valuable information,” added Marilou. “When people leave the program, they feel that they have a team of people behind them looking out for their best interests.” A realtor prepares you for home ownership and a mortgage specialist will explain types of mortgages, building credit ratings, debt ratio and how to estimate costs involved in purchasing a home. “We want to give people peace of mind when purchasing a home. It is supposed to be an exciting time in their life and the knowledge they learn offers them that comfort level,” said Marilou. The Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty Home Program is free and the education is priceless.

May 11, 1928 ~ February 11, 2020 Hazel was the second child of Roswell and Madeline Roth. She was raised on a farm east of Bawlf and helped with chores, gardening and looking after her younger siblings. She went to school at Acme, and could often be found walking the rails, as the train was close to their farm. Later she attended Lakeland College in Vermilion, where she met Joe Scott. They were married on April 4, 1950, then farmed together for many years. Their only child, Laurele, was born in 1955 and kept them busy with several activities. Hazel was active in the community. She sewed, knitted, swam, bowled, danced, hosted UCW and UFA meetings, and visited and entertained many neighbours and friends. She loved life and worked hard. As her family grew with three grandsons, she was kept busy entertaining them and enjoyed their antics. Over the years, Hazel and Joe travelled to BC and Saskatchewan and, for their 25th anniversary, they went to England to visit Joe’s relatives and see the country. Hazel collected dolls in her later years, and she and Joe enjoyed local plays and even saw Victor Borge and Roger Miller in performance in Edmonton. Once the farm was sold, they moved into a lovely condo in Camrose. A few years later, Hazel settled into Sunrise Village. When her health started to decline, she moved into Bashaw Meadows. When room became available in Bethany Meadows in Camrose, she then resided in Pine Cottage until her passing. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Laurele (Ezzy) Laskowich of Edmonton; grandchildren Sheldon (Kelly) of Toronto, Ontario, Ian (Marilyn) of Edmonton, and Andrew (Carmen) of Fort Saskatchewan; five great-grandchildren Emmett, Keira, Shayna, Clark and Alexsis; and siblings Marion Nielsen of Salmon Arm, Eleanor Garvin of Calgary, Gerald Roth of Camrose, and Kathleen Tennant of Bawlf. Hazel was predeceased by her husband Joe, and sister Aileen Mickelson. A Funeral Service was held at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, February 21, 2020 from Rose City Baptist Church with Rev. Dave Cawley officiating. Interment has taken place in the Melville Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Hazel’s memory may be made to STARS, or to the Alberta Diabetes Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Barbara Allen Hayduk November 14, 1934 ~ February 17, 2020 Barbara Allen Hayduk was born in Camrose on November 14, 1934 to Harry and Maryann Wedgwood. She enjoyed sharing many happy memories of her childhood on the farm, and was especially fond of her grandfather, Tom Wedgwood. At a local dance, she was introduced to a neighbor, Steve Hayduk, and they married on November 10, 1951. They had three children – Paul, Shirley, and Lara, and farmed near Round Hill until moving to Camrose in 1973. Barb worked as a care aide at Rosehaven prior to moving to town. She catered for several years after moving to town, but then completed a secretarial certificate at the Camrose Lutheran College and began working for the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool, where she worked until its closure. Her next career was at St. Mary’s Hospital, first in housekeeping, and later as a rehabilitation aide before retiring in the early 1990s. Barb had the heart of a caregiver and enjoyed volunteering for the Aid Line for several years, which was a mental health distress line. She drove numerous friends and acquaintances to appointments; she was always there for her friends. She was a volunteer board member for Service Options for Seniors for many years, stepping down when her health began to deteriorate. Her love of travelling took root after fulfilling her lifelong dream of visiting Scotland, and she enjoyed many international trips. She loved cars and driving, and road trips were among her favorite things to do; she seemingly had every side road and highway in Alberta memorized! Fiddle music was another passion, and she travelled far and wide to various Fiddle Jamborees. Mom adored her grandsons and had special relationships with each of them and always attended their school events. Barbara was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, Steve; infant son Paul; beloved grandson Cam Lyster; and her special friend, Paul Lychak. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her daughters Shirley (Bob) Lyster and Lara (Arnold) White; grandsons Greg Lyster, and Jeff and Eric Brausen; stepgranddaughter Sara (Drew) Clark; brother Tom (Velma) Wedgwood; and numerous family members and friends. A Funeral Service was held at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, February 21, 2020 from the Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Joby Augustin officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Barbara’s memory may be made to St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit or to the Hospice Society of Camrose and District.

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.

BAWLF FUNDRAISER CONCERT – presented at Bawlf Community Centre. Canadian Folk Music with Celtic, Bluegrass and Country. A concert with Saskia and Darrel: The Green Plains. Saturday, March 7, 7:00 p.m. Tickets $20 each available at the Bawlf Country Store or call Kathleen 780-373-2250 or John 780-608-5747.

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.

Supper for the soul By Lori Larsen

In its 15th year of combining the warmth of a simple soup meal with the warmth of fellowship, the Augustana Chaplaincy is once again presenting the What’s Cookin’? Soup Supper to be held on March 1 at 5 p.m. at the Augustana Chapel, Faith and Life Centre. The event is fun way for members of the community to come together with members of the Chaplaincy and Augustana students to celebrate the work of the Chaplaincy and assist with fundraising. The What’s Cookin’ ? event is an extension of the free weekly soup supper which is hosted by the Augustana Chaplaincy, providing students and others with a nutritious meal and an opportunity to come together for a social outing and meet with others in the community. The evening also includes a unique silent auction, consisting of a variety of homemade or other items donated by members of the community, student chaplains and others. Along with fellowship attendees will be able to enjoy a meal of homemade soup, bread, desserts and beverages.

Female sexually assaulted by former male co-worker

Everyone Reads The Booster! To attend the world’s largest tradeonly show in Anaheim was music to the ears of 18-year-old Kayle McGuire of Camrose.

Our thanks to Kayle for taking along The Booster and to Jodie Wilson for sending us this photo entry! Your $20.00 cheque is in the mail!

A female was sexually assaulted by a male delivering a food order to her residence. The male, who was a former co-worker of the female, entered her home and then started to touch her inappropriately. The female pushed the male out of her residence and contacted police. The male was arrested and charged with sexual assault.

Feb. 19

A male who was trying to sell his pick-up truck on Kijiji advised that he may be involved in a scam. The buyer, who claimed to be in the military working overseas, stated he would like to purchase the vehicle and asked the seller to send $5,000 to pay for shipping the vehicle. The seller sent the money through and only became suspicious when the buyer made a second request for additional funds. Police responded to what was determined to be a false alarm at a residence and while there, identified a female who had a no contact condition with the male tenant. The female also had three outstanding warrants out of Red Deer. The woman was arrested and later released on an appearance notice.

Residents continue to keep their Eyes on Camrose in an effort to deter, stop and prevent crime from occurring in the City. On Feb. 20, Camrose Police were contacted by a concerned citizen who had observed a male rummaging through a vehicle parked near the Camrose Public Library. Upon investigation, police determined the vehicle in question was reported stolen out of Edmonton on Feb. 16. As a result of the information provided by the concerned citizen, police were able to obtain a good description of the suspect and are continuing to investigate in conjunction with the Edmonton Police Service. In a separate incident, police received a complaint from a resident
