ALWAYS BETTER – ALWAYS BETTER READ

CAUTIOUS

without overkill

“A month’s volume of toilet paper sales in the last four days, record sales of cleaning supplies and hygiene products,” according to John Larsen, manager of Camrose Safeway. Yes, even here in rural Alberta, COVID-19 is clearly on people’s minds. The irony is that the coronavirus is an illness that affects the respiratory system and, in a small percentage of the population, can lead to deadly pneumonia, but not bad bowels. Some customers appear to be buying a very long-term supply of toilet paper, bottled water and hand sanitizer. “From a retailer’s point of view, it’s fascinating to watch the public’s varying reaction to this illness.”

Despite there being only seven confirmed cases in Alberta, seventy-two cases across Canada, and the risk to Albertans deemed to be quite low, the impact of the coronavirus is certainly being felt locally. People have rediscovered how to properly and frequently wash their hands, not touch their face, be more conscious about staying home if ill, and be aware of negative health symptoms. What remains to be seen is if the coronavirus ends up being just another mass-hysteria, widely proclaimed, apocalyptic event (i.e. Y2K, asteroid holocausts, man-made black hole) or simply fear feeding on fear. In the meantime, while out conducting routine living and enjoying life, consider taking home the amount of toilet paper you would normally buy!

Hockey Vikings facing cutbacks

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus is faced with some tough decisions after the provincial government announced its budget cuts on Feb. 28.

With a projection of less funding, the university has a few options to consider in the next couple of weeks. One of the options discussed around the table is cutting the Vikings men’s hockey team.

“This started on Feb. 8, our alumni weekend and every year we have an annual meeting. We were lucky enough to have one of the people on the university review board come to our meeting and chat with the alumni about everything.

We have donated funds over the past five or six years to the university, so we are like a stakeholder even though we don’t make any decisions. We asked if we could meet with the review board,” said David Ritz, president of the Augustana Vikings Men’s Hockey Alumni Association.

“We had that meeting the middle of February. One thing that we are quite sure of is the position that they (Augustana) have been put in. We are working with them to see what we can do in the future. With the cutbacks that they have to do, I wouldn’t want that job at all. It’s a lose-lose situation for them,” shared David. “It

CAMROSE DENTURE CLINIC

was never fully said, but we left that meeting feeling the university wouldn’t be able to fund the hockey team. This is more than finances. They have to take in account what is best for the entire student body. We respect that, but we have to come at it from our stand point.”

Everyone left the meeting thinking Augustana wouldn’t be able to fund the hockey program anymore.

“Instead of waiting for the answer, we decided to be pro-active. It took us three or four days to sort it out.

Augustana has to cut from athletics, let alone the rest of the university. We wanted to see what we could do as a community. Hockey is the most expensive sport, so that played into the decision. We asked for a number that we could work towards in trying to save the team in order for this to work. We are negotiating that number because we are not 100 per cent clear on it.

“The number was large, well over $100,000 a year, at $145,000, but we think that might be a bit high. We’re looking at ways to help, getting businesses on board and some other things.”

After those meetings David thought the hockey program was dead. “The last few days have been unbelievable. We are getting support and now I feel better. We maybe able

to pull this off if we get community support. I’ve learned a lot about the history of the Vikings and I’ve been around for 13 years.

More than 300 players that were in the Viking Cup were drafted into the NHL. The history makes us optimistic about the future.”

The alumni are looking at a fast short-term solution before searching for longterm answers. “We only have a few weeks to determine if we can save the team, or not. That is another thing we are negotiating, the short-term window. If we take more time maybe we can find a better way to do this.”

The alumni started to create awareness of the situation on March 1. “We have had some pledges of money, but we are not taking any money at this time.

We are looking at this as a business and creating partnerships, it makes us look a little different that way,” said David.

“The alumni has received emails from a number of people who indicated something like they had an uncle on the team and how can they help. It was a huge blessing years ago when the minor hockey teams were changed to be called the Vikings. Every parent and child who plays hockey knows about the Vikings and what it stands for in this community.”

Living in Einstein time

I’ve been told there’s a Chinese curse that says, “May you live in interesting times.” What with Alberta’s still-rocky economy, coronavirus showing up in Alberta, various blockades and protests, feeling grumpy about Canadian politics federal and provincial, and appalling events in the rest of the world, these feel like “interesting times.”

I’ve also been told the Chinese character for “crisis” is a combination of the characters for “danger” and “opportunity.” That idea is similar to something my brother says: “In every adversity there lies the seeds of greater opportunity.”

Okay, humour me here. I’m going to meander a bit.

But there is a point. Really! ***

Thinking about crisis and opportunity took me to Barbara Marx Hubbard who studied evolution. She said that, for eons, times of turbulence have often been “the breakdown before the breakthrough.”

For example, when single celled life forms began to have difficulty surviving, they merged with other cells and became multi-celled beings. That in turn led to the development of every plant and animal life form on the planet.

Then I remembered Gay Hendricks’ book called The Big Leap. He told a story about looking successful on the outside but realizing he was burned out on the inside. He took a week off and went to a cabin near a mountain top, hoping to gain some perspective.

Towards the end of the week he thought of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity–the idea that time is “relative.” Time can stretch or shrink, depending on the context. For example, an hour with a beloved whooshes by, seeming like minutes. Half a minute with a hand on a hot burner would seem like hours. Hendricks thought, if time is relative, he could view his own minutes and hours in a new way. A mantra came to him: “I have exactly the right amount of time to enjoy everything I do.”

He called this “Einstein time.” ***

Thinking about this–and possibly to avoid actual work, I was moved to learn a bit more about Einstein, who some consider the most brilliant scientist of the 20th century. Born in Germany in 1879, Einstein’s brilliance wasn’t obvious when he was a child. At school he had “speech challenges” and resisted the rigid teaching style.

His inquisitiveness and curiosity were not appreciated.

A family friend introduced him to a children’s science text and he became fascinated with the nature of light.

When he turned of age, facing military duty, he withdrew from classes using a doctor’s note to excuse himself. His parents understood his perspective but were worried about his future prospects as a dropout and draft dodger. He was accepted into a Swiss technology institute because of his high scores in physics and mathematics.

At graduation he got no references from his professors because he skipped so many classes. After finally gaining employment as a patent clerk, he continued studying on his own. In 1905, four of his papers were published in one of the best-known physics journals of the era. One of these papers included the concept of “relativity.”

Einstein’s family life was sad. Two unhappy marriages; a child with a mental illness. His career had challenges too. In the 1930s, as Nazis were gaining prominence, Jewish citizens were barred from university work and Einstein was targeted to be killed. In 1933, he left Europe to accept a position at Princeton University in New Jersey.

As a pacifist, he was horrified that his work on nuclear physics led in 1945 to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. With a few fellow scientists he became a major advocate to curtail the use of nuclear weapons. There’s more cool stuff about Einstein’s scientific achievements, and studies of his brain after he died.

But what I most appreciate is Gay Hendricks’ concept of Einstein time: “I have exactly the right amount of time to enjoy everything I do.”

Hope that does something for you too. ***

No training

I have served as a volunteer firefighter since 2004 and I also work as an associate instructor delivering training to rural firefighters from our Camrose station.

We host several classes each year for firefighters in our hall and from smaller outlying communities.

These volunteers drive in on weekends to complete their training in courses that include search and rescue, medical training and dealing with all kinds of other emergencies that happen in our communities and they usually receive nothing for their time and money spent to be in class or attending calls. Some even take time off work from their day jobs to attend these classes. At least the course itself had been paid for up until this latest budget.

The latest cut from the Alberta budget directly impacts training for rural firefighters and this is extremely worrisome and dangerous.

Did you know that the majority of firefighters in Alberta are volunteers? Did you also know that many of them receive zero compensation for any of the work or training they do?

So the next time a train derails or a truck overturns and spills dangerous goods on the road or rail line, the next time someone needs to be cut out of their mangled vehicle or rescued from a burning building, please remember that the very people tasked with helping may not have been certified or recertified to provide these services since Premier Jason Kenney decided $500,000 is more important than the lives of Albertans and the people who volunteer to help them. How can we justify cutting training dollars for people who are already working for nothing? Will these volunteers be asked to purchase their own equipment and respond in their own vehicles next?

Bob Jonson, Camrose Hockey program

I was directly involved with Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) hockey teams filling numerous roles for 35 seasons and was involved with the Viking Cup Magazine from 1991 onward. I also authored the chapter on college hockey in Total Hockey: The Official Encyclo-

pedia of the NHL (Second Edition).

No college hockey team in the nation has had a greater impact on its community than the Vikings.

In 1975, the Camrose Lutheran College Vikings were the first team from Camrose to win a national championship and the first team in any sport to win a Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championship.

For a quarter of a century, the team hosted the Viking Cup, which brought over 100 Olympians, over 200 NHL players and over 400 NHL draft selections to the Rose City. The Camrose Kodiaks and the Recreation Centre exist in large part due to the Vikings. In addition to the on ice endeavors, the Vikings hockey program broke down barriers by facilitating an exchange of cultures when the Iron Curtain separated east from west.

The 2020-21 season would be the 50th in the ACAC for the team. The team has given so much to the community over the years. Now is time for the community to return the favour.

Brian Stein, Edmonton Waste report

In 2015, Justin Trudeau and the Liberals promised they would make life more affordable for families.

They promised they’d run small deficits before bringing Canada’s budget back to balance. They promised a lot of things.

And yet, here we are.

The Liberals have added $72 billion to the national debt and folks here in Battle River-Crowfoot can’t get ahead. So, what did they do with your tax dollars?

They gave $50 million to Mastercard, a company that made $16 billion in 2019. They gave $12 million to Loblaws–the company that owns Superstore–to buy fridges that they didn’t need. They spent $1.6 million on his disastrous trip to India. And this is just the beginning.

There are billions of dollars more in waste to uncover. Canadians deserve to know what they’ve gotten as a result of the biggest government spending spree in Canadian history.

That’s why Canada’s Conservatives have launched The Waste Report.

I encourage all Canadians to learn more at https://The WasteReport.ca. Conserva-

tives are committed to lifting the veil on the Liberals wasteful spending.

Damien C. Kurek, Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot Thank government

I want to thank Premier Jason Kenney for taking a 10 per cent cut in his salary and a thank you to the MLAs for taking a five per cent cut. I know Premier Kenney has been putting in many long hours trying to find ways to get Alberta’s economy back on track.

With many oil patch workers out of work and farmers not being able to sell their grain because of the rail blockades, I wonder where the tax dollars will come from to pay the wage increase that teachers and nurses think they deserve.

The tax dollars will not be coming from transfer payments.

Robert Snider, Camrose Huge problem

There is a concern for global warming here in this world. I am sure that there is no intelligible person on this planet who would disagree with this statement.

The question is how do we, as a nation, deal with this huge problem? The federal government wants everybody to think that the way to reduce Canada’s carbon footprint is to create a carbon tax. It is very interesting to note that Alberta’s Court of Appeal ruled four to one that this federal carbon tax is unconstitutional. Now, I am not totally versed on our carbon footprint; however, there is one thing which I do know. Our recycling program here in Camrose does need to be fixed. There have been new changes of what is allowed to be recycled. Cardboard which has a wax coating is not allowed. Now, this is so unwise since this is sending so much more cardboard to our landfill. Another issue is the amount of vehicles which are on the road here in Camrose. There has to be some sort of solution to our carbon footprint without bankrupting people. I make sure that the prices which I charge are affordable at the same time being able to pay all of my bills. This will be a group effort, which will be easier if everybody will do their part.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a $2,000 grant to Special Olympics Alberta to assist with the cost of sending five Camrose based athletes to the 2020 Special Olympics in Thunder Bay. The bronze medal winning team members are James McGillvray, Mitchell Banks, Jody St. Onge, Jonathan Gurr and Aleena Lazar.

The grant is from income from the Foundation’s Community Fund.

Donors to the Community Fund allow the Foundation Board the discretion to award grants to charitable groups who apply to the Foundation for assistance annually. This gives the Board the flexibility to meet requests for assistance as needs change throughout the region.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists

to support projects and programs such as participation in Special Olympics in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $6,370,000 to support programs and facilities operated by organizations like Special Olympics Camrose, which is an affiliate of Special Olympics Alberta.

Volunteers offer support, care for those grieving loss

By Lori Larsen

Grieving over the loss of someone through death can be both emotionally and physically demanding and often leaves a person feeling alone and empty with a sense of nowhere to go and that no one will understand.

For over 30 years, a group of caring, compassionate volunteers has been offering services to those grieving loss through the St. Mary’s Hospital Grief and Bereavement Support Group.

The group got its humble beginnings when Sister Bernadine Bokenfohr approached the ministerial association in Camrose (30 years prior) suggesting the need for a group trained in supporting those going through bereavement and grieving.

“Sister Bokenfohr managed to get them (ministerial association) working together and they all took a course in Calgary modelled off the work of Dr. Alan Wolfelt (grief specialist),” explained Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital out-patient therapist, Shelly Dalueg. “Sister B retired and Reverend Brian Hunter took her place and kept the program going. I got involved once my shift schedule allowed me to stay after work and do this volunteer work.”

The support group is facilitated by two facilitators and one observer at St. Mary’s Hospital and is run at least twice a year during the evening. “The day of the week varies according to the availability of the facilitator,” explained Dalueg.

“There are eight sessions lasting two hours, each with a little stretch break in the middle. We aim for about 10 participants for each group.”

Approximately a week prior to the actual start date of the sessions, the two facilitators receive a list containing the names of the participants, then meet one-on-one with each participant to ensure the participants understand the commitment to the eight-week sessions and to ensure that the support

group is a suitable fit for them at the point in their grieving process.

“For some who wish to participate, the loss may be too fresh or they may need professional help.”

Dalueg indicated that it is vital that the participants attend all eight sessions, because what they learn in the first and subsequent sessions is built upon as they move through the process.

“If they miss, it is not

nator Bill Harder. “While they are identical programs, each works outside of one other. They are not interchangeable sessions.”

Dalueg added that the sessions are closed-ended, meaning that once the sessions begin, there are no new participants added.

Each facilitator is trained and provided with a binder, containing continually updated information on how to facilitate the sessions.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Covenant Health, St. Mary’s Hospital out-patient therapist Shelly Dalueg, left and Hospice Society of Camrose and District program and grief and bereavement coordinator Bill Harder speak about support groups.

only difficult for them to get caught up, but it is almost like a loss for the people in the group.” She went on to say that a community is formed by the group through strong emotions and as the process proceeds, the group participants tend to become very tight knit.

The Hospice Society of Camrose runs an identical program which is offered during the day, as an option to those who may not be able to attend an evening session.

“It wasn’t necessary for us (Hospice) to replicate the program, but it is a good collaboration,” said Hospice program and grief and bereavement coordi-

The observer sits in on all eight sessions (observing only), then if they wish they can become a facilitator for the next sessions with the guidance of a seasoned facilitator.

The sessions are quite intense and in the beginning can be very overwhelming for the participants, but as Harder explained, about three-quarters of the way through the sessions, the group has bonded so tightly with each other they often stay and chitchat afterwards, and in some instances meet after the eight week sessions are over.

“There was one particular experience of a young woman with a loss, who was feeling as though she didn’t

have the skills to navigate what she was experiencing with this loss. It was entirely overwhelming for her,” described Harder.

“She came to the group very anxious, feeling vulnerable. In the very first night, she met two other people in similar age range who just, by chance, had similar losses.”

Harder said he witnessed her realizing she was not the only one going through what she was experiencing.

“She heard their stories and in her head she thought, ‘That is me’. Suddenly she didn’t feel isolated any more and she felt like her experience was not strange because somebody else was having the same experience.”

Dalueg commented, “That tends to be a common theme throughout the group sessions–validating the feelings individuals are having and reminding them they are not alone.”

Harder said that the facilitators, as well as other participants, share their wisdom and have an opportunity to give words to the experience. “Whereas in the case of this young woman, she may not have had the language to describe it, then all of a sudden she could name a flood of grief going through her.”

Daleug f ur ther explained, “It normalizes it, gives vocabulary to it.

When I was facilitating, I remember it was almost like a magic happened in the group process and what they gave to each other was exactly what they needed.

“Sometimes (as a facilitator) it doesn’t even feel like you’re in the room with the interactions that are going on between the participants. They are getting exactly what each person needs and probably a lot smarter coming from someone who has been there than someone who is trying to tell them.”

Dalueg encourages the nursing students she teaches to consider becoming an observer in one of the eight-week sessions, explaining that it is one of the best forms of group expression.

“They are so well connected (the participants),” remarked Harder. “They build trust because they have heard and witnessed each others’ stories and heard their own stories held by the group. That is very powerful.”

Dalueg did say the sessions can be difficult at times, mentally and sometimes physically and emotionally exhausting. “You are in a room with eight or nine other participants, all grieving. The energy in the room can be overwhelming.”

The sessions also require the participants to do projects and exercises intended to provide other avenues of expressing and exploring their grief.

The group participants vary in age, gender, background and experiences and bring diversity to the group which offers the opportunity for group members to learn from each other.

“We encourage family members to attend separate sessions,” said Dalueg, explaining there is the concern that family members will naturally try to protect each other’s emotions and it may hinder their grieving process.

The Grief and Bereavement Support Group has stood the test of time as a vital free service offered to Camrose and area residents during difficult times in their lives.

“Grief is normal, it is healthy, it is not mental illness,” Dalueg concluded.

Harder added, “It is a human thing to grieve.”

The next St. Mary’s Hospital group begins on March 17 ending May 4, from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m.

Hospice Society of Camrose next session begins Thursdays, April 9 until May 28, 2 until 4 p.m.

Round Hill community fights for school

By Murray Green

The Round Hill community is fighting to keep its school open.

The Battle River School Division is trying to reduce its expenses by more than $4 million next year, in order to operate within the funding provided to them by the province.

To start the process, board members passed a series of motions to consider closure or consolidation of schools for next fall.

“Two generations of our Banack family have attended our school. We are proud to say this school has been the foundation for our careers and lifelong endeavors. We are looking forward to the next generation having the same opportunities to receive an education in the Round Hill School and be our future leaders,” said Humphrey Banack, a community ambassador.

He talked about the high standards set at the school and within the community.

“Our organizations in the community have been very supportive of the school providing both monetary and volunteer help for school activities. All of this to help achieve the mission of lifelong learning for people to be contributors of our society,” explained Humphrey.

“Our students assist at community events and they are compensated. It instills the understanding and belief that we all need to work together to ensure our organization can be valuable and contribute to our communities. Without a school in our community it will be impossible for these organizations to maintain the viability and continue this very valuable learning opportunity for community members, both young and old.”

Currently, Round Hill has split classes for Grade 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. Only kindergarten and Grade 9 are stand-alone classes.

“In response to the threat of having its school closed and children distributed to three separate receiving schools in three separate directions, the parents and community of Round Hill School began looking for ways to increase the value of the school to the students, teachers and school division by offering unique courses and programs through the school. Recognizing and embracing the school’s rural location in an agricultural heartland and acknowledging the depth and diversity of business and agricultural expertise in the local community, it was determined that it was the perfect location to develop an agriculture program,” said Kyle Nahirniak in his presentation to the board.

“Within the boom and bust cycle of Alberta’s economy, agriculture has been and always will be the consistent, resilient cornerstone. There is also a drive to increase the value added portion of the industry through agriprocessing and food manufacturing developments which opens the door for even more employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, making it the perfect target industry for today’s youth,” added Kyle.

“The backbone of our proposed agriculture program would be a financially selfsufficient student-led farm that would be run on the school grounds. The makeup of the farm could include 4-H style feeder cattle, backgrounding hogs, layer and broiler chickens, a community garden and greenhouse and possibly a compost for

The risk of closing schools is that some of the students would go out of the BRSD boundaries and enrol-

ment could go down again. “I believe empty classrooms can make money for you. Consider using the rooms for sewing classes, stained glass and you could offer these courses at night. The gym can be used to host dance, archery, painting and training sessions,” said community member Dennis Johnson.

Action for healthy communities launched

By Murray Green

The Action for Healthy Communities opened an office in Camrose to assist immigrants’ transition into the surrounding area.

Alberta welcomed 38,683 immigrants in 2018 and many more last year.

About 70 per cent of the immigrants are not connected to any services.

“We want to work with local committees, so we know what resources we can use to assist immigrants. Back in 2015, we started in Edmonton to help newcomers. We started with the schools because schools are the first point of entry for the parents,” explained executive director Aftab Khan.

“We then expanded to

other services. Three years ago we started an entrepreneurship program for business people. We have a broad base of about 20 services we that we assist.

Why Camrose? We have been receiving requests from this area, as well as Leduc and Sherwood Park, mostly because of our school programming,” said Aftab.

“We collected whatever information was available and local ladies Mitch Bautista and Zoila de PazGendreau helped us and are the local contacts. We applied for finances from the federal government and were successful in receiving a grant to start a program in Camrose and

another one in the Bonnyville area,” shared Aftab.

“They are working here and there right now, but April 1 they will be fulltime to provide support for people.”

The Action for Healthy Communities assist with one on one support for family needs such as housing, health, education and employment.

Group sessions provide a space for sessions, workshops and orientation.

Youth support builds life skills, leadership skills, improve language and assist with employable skills.

Partner engagement includes mentorship with community leaders and collaboration with services.

Council approves upgrade to traffic light

Enarson pointed out that the Stantec report was based on current demands, which indicated that the present conditions at that intersection were sufficient considering the amount of pedestrian traffic is low. “I agree that as additional residential develops in that area (around 45th Avenue), there may be a need for an upgraded set of pedestrian controls.”

Mayor Norm Mayer suggested, “Council could consider amending our 2020 Capital Plan to include the full set of lights at 68 Street and Marler Drive and to install the roadside rapid flashing beacons at 45 Avenue and 68 Street and Safeway crosswalk and 68 Street with funding provided from our reserve account.”

Councillor Greg Wood said, “I am not sure of the urgency or agree that 2020 is the year to complete this work, but if it is going that way, I am not sure we should pull out of reserves. We are tryLori Larsen, Camrose Booster ing to cut back on spending.”

City of Camrose council approved the upgrade of the half (traffic light) signal to a full traffic light signal at the intersection of 68 Street and Marler Drive and a set of roadside rapid flashing beacons at the intersection of 68 Street and 45 Avenue to be funded in the 2021 budget.

The estimated cost to upgrade the existing half signal to a full signal is $200,000 and to install the roadside rapid flashing beacons approximately $20,000.

The approval came after hearing a report and recommendation by City of Camrose administration director of engineering Jeremy Enarson from the results of a traffic analysis and subsequent report prepared by Stantec, a consulting organization based out of Edmonton.

Stantec was retained by the City in September 2019 to assist with a review of the existing traffic signals specifically at intersections located on 68 Street.

As a result of the review, Stantec concluded that none of the existing intersections along 68 Street or Camrose Drive warranted the installation of full traffic lights (either as a new installation or upgrade of the existing half signals located at 68 Street and Marler Drive.)

Stantec did recommend the City consider installing overhead flashing beacons at the Safeway entrance (due to the wider section of 68 Street) and roadside rectangular rapid flashing beacons (similar to those at 56 Street and 48 Avenue) at the entrance to Canadian Tire property off of 68 Street.

In the report, Stantec provided Signal Warrant Analysis Results which assigned a point value to particular intersections in the City, which was then used to determine whether or not that intersection warranted an upgrade or installation of traffic signals.

Enarson explained that if the number of points was above 100, Transportation Association of Canada would typically recommend full signals.

The highest points scored included: the intersection of 68 Street and 45 Avenue, 44 points; the intersection of Valleyview Drive and Camrose Drive, 43 points; the intersection of 68 Street and Marler Drive, 43 points; and the intersection of 68 Street and the Mall Entrance (Canadian Tire), 39 points, meaning that none of the intersections reviewed warranted full signals based on current conditions.

City council votes for arbitration on ICF

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose and Camrose County Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) required to be submitted to the Province by April 1, will depend on whether or not the City and County can agree on shared agreements within the Intermunicpal Development Plan (IDP), specifically the Recreation Agreement.

The ICF provides for integrated and strategic planning, delivery and funding of any intermunicipal services. For instance, the ICF between Camrose County and the City of Camrose would include agreements for shared services such as fire, recycling and recreation, among others.

The ICF is intended to outline the allocation of scarce resources efficiently in the providing of local services and ensure munic-

ipalities contribute funding to services that benefit their residents.

During the City of Camrose Feb. 18 Committee of Whole meeting, Alberta Municipal Affairs senior Intermunicipal Relations specialist Sara Ahlstrom and Intermunicipal Relations advisor Bright Asibey delivered a presentation on Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks.

Camrose County Reeve Cindy Trautman and County administrator Paul King were present.

The presentation included explanations on Intermunicipal Collaboration tool exercises that could be used by the County and the City, specific timelines and dispute resolution options, the process options for creating an ICF, the process of arbitration and grants and funding resources.

Ahlstrom explained that during the first two

years of the ICF process, discussions, negotiations and mediation take place with regards to the content of the ICFs. If the ICF is totally agreed upon by the participating municipalities, the ICF is complete, matching ICFs approved and the Minister of Municipal Affairs is notified.

If the ICF is not adopted, then arbitration will be mandated by the minister. An arbitrator would be appointed jointly by the municipalities impacted by the ICF or if an arbitrator is not agreed upon, then one would be appointed by the minister.

The arbitration process, led by the arbitrator could take up to one year at which point the arbitrator, based on arguments presented by the municipalities, will make an award binding on the municipalities.

City council votes for arbitration on ICF Continued from page 13

The municipalities will then be responsible for creating and adopting the ICF in accordance with the arbitrator’s award.

C o st s a s s o c i at e d with the arbitrator are the responsibility of the municipalities and are deter mined either by arbitrator’s order, joint agreement by the parties or proportional basis by equalized assessment.

Recreation agreement

Presently, Camrose County and the City of Camrose have several agreements in place regarding shared services. One of the agreements, the Recreation Agreement, which expires at the end of this year, has been the subject of disagreement between the City and County.

During the regular City of Camrose Council meeting held on Feb. 18, council voted to go to arbitration with the County in order to complete the ICF and contained shared Recreation Agreement.

“We received a letter dated Feb. 11, (from Camrose Country), basically in rejection of the submission prepared and forwarded to them by our consultants regarding sharing of costs for this process,” noted Mayor Norm Mayer.

Councillor David Ofrim made the following motion.

“As we remain far apart on our respected positions on the shared Recreation Agreement, which is a key element in the ICF, and in light of the letter received

by Camrose County suggesting that the City of Camrose has out of control spending and poor infrastructure management, I move we authorize administration to enter into discussions with Camrose County to choose an arbitrator to resolve the ICF. If we are unable to agree on an arbitrator by April 1, we request the minister of municipal affairs to appoint an arbitrator on our behalf.”

The motion was seconded by councillor Greg Wood.

Councillor Agnes Hoveland asked for clarification on the wording of the motion, inquiring as to whether or not it should be in reference to the ICF or specifically the Recreation Agreement.

Councillor Throndson responded, “It is my understanding as of April 1, our failure to have an ICF in place suggests we’re asking an arbitrator to resolve that issue. The key element to the ICF is the Recreation Agreement, so I think the motion is correct.

“At this point, in light of the letter and in light of the tone of the letter, we may have a possibility to mediate, but we don’t have time. I don’t see any bridge in the gap in light of the position Camrose County has expressed in the letter to his worship. The arbitrator would be dealing with the finalization of the ICF, and as part of that, would finalize any underlying agreements in the ICF including the Recreation Agreement.”

Throndson added that he held out some optimism regarding other shared agreements contained within the ICF, which are far less contentious and with far less dollar figures involved, that they could be mutually agreed upon with the County. However, he had little confidence in negotiating the Recreation Agreement.

“As for timing, this wouldn’t happen immediately. If the motion is passed and April 1 comes and the minister appoints an arbitrator, at some point in time, whether that be the end of summer or early fall, we would still have time to negotiate or have discussions on shared agreements.”

Round Hill community fights against school closure Continued from page 9

“NAIT has used this model to get through the tough times. Rather than closing parts of their campus, they have opened the doors to evening and weekend classes year round.

They utilize their assets to the fullest. NAIT uses buses and trailers as classrooms.

We could do that for options so the students would no longer have to be bused,” explained Dennis.

Grade 8 student Jaidan

Burnstad and Grade 7 student Ethan Carr shared school experiences.

“We are a small, but mighty school. We may be small in numbers, but man, are we mighty. Our boys’ basketball team was competing against Ryley a couple weeks back for first place in our division. Our girls were not too shabby either as Round Hill and Ryley competed for second place. That was just a few

weeks before both schools were announced for possible closure,” said Jaidan.

“My grandpa, dad and uncles have gone to Round Hill School. So have my cousins and my siblings and I. My school brings the entire community together on a regular basis. Our school is truly blessed to have such support.”

She pointed out some of the benefits of having a small school.

“My school has been a large part of my life. My brother went to this school until he graduated from Grade 9 and my sister is in Grade 3 now. Before my sister came, we had to move into a bigger house. My mom told my dad that she would move anywhere he wanted us to, as long as they (the children) could stay in this school,” shared Ethan.

“Round Hill School is like a second home.”

He explained the smaller schools have better learning opportunities. Ethan shared how he felt a sense of belonging on the school bus and welcomed at school.

“Everyone in the school is your friend, not just those in your class. No one gets left out or missed.”

The board will vote on whether or not to proceed with these closures and consolidations on Thursday, March 19.

Students use their art to give back

By Lori Larsen

A group of Our Lady Mount Pleasant (OLMP) students have found a way to express their kindness through their art.

On March 18, during OLMP’s open house a variety of art created by students in Kristy Smith’s (assistant principal and art teacher) art class will not only be displayed throughout the school for viewing and purchase, but minireplicas of some of the “greats” will be auctioned off with all the proceeds of the auction going to the Victoria Kovac fundraiser.

Victoria is a 13-yearold OLMP student who, in October 2019, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.

Victoria has been receiving care from the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, including chemotherapy and in January had her leg amputated just above her knee, in an attempt to prevent the spread of cancer.

She is a fighter and is taking her continued medical care on with a smile as she undergoes physical therapy for the next nine to 12 months to help her body heal.

Recognizing the importance of supporting and caring for others, some of OLMP leadership students organized their second Art

Show, with a twist this year to include the auction to raise funds for Victoria.

Grade 11 students Rian Burke and Katie Stobbe, two of the Art Show organizers, find it encouraging that the school is promoting the artistic talents of students.

“Our school is typically more athletic and I am more the artsy, creative type,” noted Rian. “I always wanted something for the artists at OLMP.” She said she came up with the idea after seeing that École Camrose Composite High School had an art show. “I thought it was a cool idea so proposed it to Mrs. Smith who thought it was a good idea as well.”

Rian reported that the people who attended last year’s (the first year) show really enjoyed it and that she hopes the event will continue for years to come.

During the show, the larger art showcased throughout the school will be for sale with all monies going to the individual artist. However, the funds raised from the auction of the mini-pieces will all be donated to Victoria’s road to recovery.

Each student in the art class (30) have been asked to produce a piece to show and an auction piece.

By Murray Green

Canada’s Ballet Jörgen will be featuring its version of the classic Canadian tale Anne of Green Gables on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m.

This is the first fulllength ballet based on the classic Canadian novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery.

“This is a good opportunity to show who you are now.

It is a good experience,” said Sarah Booth, a local dancer in the production.

“It’s a good experience to get our name out there and our studio, so we can get more opportunities like this in the future,” added Kamryn Uglem from Ballet Camrose.

It is a playful, colourful and evocative production that will transport audiences to early 20th century Atlantic Canada. Based on the beloved Canadian novel, it follows the adventures of Anne Shirley, an orphan girl sent to live on a farm in the fictional town of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. “It’s a Canadian story, so it is pretty special to be in the classic,” said Kamryn.

This creation is monumental for the company and enables them to present this uniquely Canadian story to communities across the country.

Anne of Green Gables is a 1908 novel by L. M. Montgomery. Written for all ages, it has been considered a children’s novel since the mid20th century. It recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is mistakenly sent to Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, a middle-aged sister and brother who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm. The novel recounts how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.

Anne spent time in strangers’ homes and orphanages. Marilla and Matthew had originally decided to adopt a boy from the orphanage to help Matthew run their farm at Green Gables.

Anne is highly imaginative, eager to please and, at times, quite a dramatic individual. However, she is defensive about her appearance, despising her red hair and pale, thin frame. She is often quite talkative, especially when it comes to describing her fantasies and dreams.

At first, stern and sharp Marilla says Anne must return to the orphanage, but after much observation and consideration, along with Matthew’s strong liking to Anne, she decides to let her stay.

As a child of imagination, Anne takes much joy in life and adapts quickly, thriving in the close-knit farming village. Her imagination and talkativeness soon brighten up Green Gables.

“We have really good teachers at Ballet Camrose who focus on our technique to prepare us for this,” said Sarah.

“We are really lucky to have the teachers that we have. They prepare us for everything including our future, as well as dance,” said Kamryn.

Dancers from Ballet Camrose will be transformed into characters who are turtles, toads, bunnies and Avonlea children.

Canada’s Ballet Jörgen added 12 local dancers to participate with the company in their performance in the ballet version of Anne of Green Gables.

The cast was assembled from local area students, based on either a recommen-

dation by their dance/theatre teachers or at an audition.

The cast will rehearse with the company for 1.75 hours the day before the show and then three to four hours directly prior to the performance. All participants are invited to watch a class on stage and, if students are advanced enough in their training, they will be encouraged to join the company class.

The candidates will need to learn the choreography quickly, listen well, and follow and retain directions easily.

“We will learn some techniques and what kind of steps they do,” said Sarah about the class. She has been dancing for eight years and is now 12.

“It’s a really good learning experience for us and to bring that back to our studio.

We have a masterclass with them, so that is an experience for us to become even better dancers,” explained Kamryn, who has been dancing for 10 years and is now 15 years old.

The main goal for the local participant program is to give the participants up close exposure and access to the workings of professional dance – all the detailed work that goes on backstage to prepare for each and every show, the technical and artistic expertise required by all, and the need for every single performer to give their 100 per cent at all times throughout the process and the show – this is how magic is created for our audiences, it is how we infinitely grow as artists.

“This is great to add to our resume, especially if we ever want to go to a dance company,” shared Kamryn.

The hopes are, there are at least 30 pieces to auction off increasing the funds to be raised for Victoria.

OLMP strives to provide students with a wholistic education that includes tapping into their own individual talents and skills, as well as developing an understanding of what community stands for and the importance of giving back.

“Art is a mode of self expression,” said Katie. “It is a way of dealing with the events in your life without having to speak, which is pretty heavy. Not everybody is good at writing or math or gym. Lots of people are artists which is a skill and takes a certain person.”

Rian added. “It is a way to take a load off, kind of calming. It is a good way to end your day and fully relax.”

Rian has been working seriously with art for

about five years, but recognized her love for all things artistic at a young age. “I have been colouring since I was a child, obviously,” she laughed. “It has always been my favourite subject in school which has grown over time. I have always loved art.”

Currently, her prime interests revolve around painting, digital art and pencil drawings.

Katie has been exploring art more seriously for a couple years. She discovered her artistic flare through the OLMP Options Class and was inspired by friends with artistic talents. She enjoys working with pottery and ceramics, acrylic on canvas and graphite on paper.

However, both girls agreed that all mediums and forms of art are interesting.

Katie said on the importance of being able to do

what you are good at, “Just be who you want to be.”

During OLMP’s Open House, other Options Classes will also be showcasing their projects and work including foods, drama and woodworking.

The students will be available for a period of time during the Open House to answer questions and visit with guests.

Kodiaks even after four games

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks defeated the Canmore Eagles 6-1 on March 4 to take a 2-1 series lead in the first round of the Alberta Junior Hockey League playoffs.

Despite the score, the Eagles soared in the game.

The goaltending of Griffin Bowerman was the difference as he back-stopped the Kodiaks with 40 of 41 saves. Camrose counted 20 shots on goal.

Lynden Grandberg notched the only marker in

the opening period. Damon Zimmer connected on a power play tally in the second to stretch the lead.

In the third, Zimmer added his second, while Cody Laskosky, Erik Miller and Robert Kincaid collected single markers.

Camrose beat the Eagles 5-3 in the second meeting between the two teams. Both teams in goals in the first 40 minutes before the Kodiaks broke the game wide open in the third with goals from Grandberg and Miller.

Connor Brock scored in the opening period, while Laskosky garnered two tallies in the middle frame.

Goalie Bowerman turned away 33 of the 36 shots he faced. Camrose recorded 27 shots on goal.

In the first game, the Kodiaks ran into some penalty trouble as both teams scored three power play markers as the Eagles won 5-3 on March 1.

The game was tied 2-2 in the first as Lane Brockhoff and Miller scored for the Kodiaks. The teams

Dalueg enjoys the memories with his 1921 Ford

By Murray Green

Jim Dalueg of Strome takes a lot of pride in keeping his 1921 Ford Model T in great running condition.

“I bought this vehicle from my neighbour, who had bought it from a fellow in BC in about 1998,” explained Jim. “It’s nice to have a car like this. My neighbour’s parents came up from Washington in a car just like it many years ago, so that’s why he wanted this car,” Jim shared.

The Ford Model T was an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from Oct. 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, that made car travel available to middleclass Americans. The relatively low price was partly the result of Ford’s efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.

“I just take it out on weekends, whenever it isn’t raining,” laughed Jim. “I take it to a few car shows here and there. The vehicle is nice and comfortable. It is actually surprising how smooth they are. I don’t like to go to parades because they get too hot from all of the starting and stopping.

This has a water pump on it, but originally it didn’t have one. They would boil over all of the time. It still

gets pretty warm. I take it for a tour and you get down the road with it and you let it cool a bit and away you go again.”

He enjoys keeping up

FUN FACTS

The hood design was changed to a tapered design with a curved top. The folding hinges are now located at the joint between the flat sides and the curved top.

This is sometimes referred to as the low hood to distinguish it from the later hoods. The back edge of the hood now met the front edge of the cowl panel so that no part of the flat firewall was visible outside of the hood. This design was used the longest and during the highest production years, accounting for about half of the total number of Model T’s built.

The parking brake lever operated the band brakes on the outside of the rear brake drums. When the hand lever was pulled back, the brake was engaged and the drive gears were disengaged. The Ford Model T line had some minor changes in 1921. The 1921 Ford Model T Coupelet and Sedans continued with some minor modification. All 1921 Ford Model T’s were painted black including the fenders and frame. Imitation leather upholstery was used on open cars and gray cloth with a lined pattern was used on closed cars. The 1921 Ford Model T Touring Car was equipped with an L head four cylinder cast iron engine with a displacement of 176.7 cubic inches. The engine developed 22.5 horsepower. The three door Touring Car carried five passengers and was priced at about $415.

with maintenance. “I’ve had to replace the transmission in the 15 years that I have owned it. I just like to tinker with the car. When it comes to finding parts for it, it can get a little tricky.”

Jim wants to keep the vehicle as original as possible. “Someone has to look after the old vehicles. I have to use this (arm and hand signals) when I want to turn,” he laughed. “Around here I’m okay with that. It might get a little more hectic in Camrose because people will wonder what the heck you are doing.”

The Model T was a rear-wheel drive vehicle.

Its transmission was a planetary gear type billed as three-speed. In today’s terms it would be considered a two-speed, because one of the three-speeds was reverse.

The Model T’s transmission was controlled with three floor-mounted pedals and a lever mounted to the road side of the driver’s seat.

The throttle was controlled with a lever on the steering wheel. The left pedal was used to engage the transmission.

The car has a two-speed axle, so it will fly down the

road stated Jim. It has slow and slower. “If you get a nice tail wind you could get up to 45 km an hour. Maybe down a hill,” said Jim about the pace of his car.

INDOOR FUN

Ron Pilger, Camrose Booster Magicsky Indoor Playground opened for business in Camrose on Family Day. Mayor Norm Mayer, centre, was on hand, along with councillor David Ofrim (not pictured), to welcome owners Jackie Liang and Richard Su to the business community.

You are no doubt aware of the protests organized by members of the Wet’suwe’ten nation and the many sympathy protests across Canada.

I would like to dispel some myths surrounding the original protest concerning Unist’ot’en Camp. For full disclosure, I am from northern British Columbia and I have relatives on both sides of the issue. Myth 1: The protests are all about the Trans Mountain Pipeline. The current protests are aimed at the Daniel Sims, Coastal Gaslink Pipeline that History, Augustana will carry liquefied natural gas Campus University from the Dawson Creek area to of Alberta Kitimat, BC. British Columbia is not opposed to all pipelines, just those that will carry bitumen from Alberta. This seems to be a double standard since BC uses bitumen. Moreover, the federal government’s ban on tankers explicitly does not include tankers carrying liquefied natural gas. That being said, it is true that the protesters are opposed to the Northern Gateway Pipeline. This simple fact, combined with the general atmosphere in the country, make it clear why this myth emerged, but it is still a myth.

Myth 2: The protesters have halted construction on the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline. While some of my relatives were protesting, others were working in the Dawson Creek area constructing the pipeline and/or infrastructure connected to the construction of the pipeline. According to Coast Gaslink’s plans, the pipeline will be built in stages and for the time being, they will simply work away from the protesters. As such, some construction continues.

Myth 3: The protesters do not represent the Wet’suwet’en Nation. This myth is complicated. First, there are five officially recognized Wet’suwet’en First Nations in Canada. The four First Nations are directly impacted by the pipeline support, but other factors complicate the issue. Members of these First Nations may or may not feel represented by the elected Indigenous officials that signed off on the pipeline. Just because someone wins an election does not mean that everyone supports them, their policies and their decisions. This situation is not helped by the fact that the electoral systems were imposed on the Wet’suwet’en by the federal government through the Indian Act, replacing a system in which hereditary nobles from the five different Wet’suwet’en clans governed their traditional territory. It is these hereditary nobles that owned the land in Wet’suwet’en territory and since the Wet’suwet’en never signed a treaty, they still own their land. When this protest began in 2010, it was centred around the Dark House of the Big Frog Clan, the Unist’ot’en. At its heart, this protest is a Unist’ot’en protest with the rest of the Wet’suwet’en (and the country) taking sides depending on their personal views.

Myth 4: The protesters do not understand what they are doing. The protesters completely understand what they are doing. The whole point of a protest is to inconvenience people and build support. Of course, the former easily alienates people, but as long as you can get some support, the protest is working. From 2010 to 2019, the protest was failing because most people outside of northern British Columbia were unaware a protest was even happening.

Myth 5: The protesters are Wet’suwet’en. This myth highlights what happens when a protest finds outside supporters.

At the beginning, the protesters were Wet’suwet’en. As the original protesters gained support, more non-Wet’suwet’en protesters got involved. Some people like to support protests they think are benefitting the world regardless of whether or not they are part of the group protesting.

Myth 6: The protesters are breaking the law.

The right to protest in Canada is protected by the constitution. However, protesters are not allowed to breach the peace or encourage others to breach the peace. Unfortunately, for those opposed to protesters, breaching the peace is purposely ill-defined. Indeed, sympathy protests are generally excluded from determining whether the peace has been breached because no one “asked them to take place.” That is why the west can have a Wexit movement without the RCMP arresting those involved. Nevertheless, the police have the right to ask protesters to disperse, and failing that, serve the protesters an injunction to disperse. It is up to the protesters to either ignore the injunction and potentially be deemed to be in violation of the law (remember everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty) or recognize the injunction and disperse.

The Cuzzins of the Wet’suwet’en who recently blockaded the CN railway west of Edmonton decided to do the latter. As of the writing of this piece, the Unist’ot’en have decided to do the former.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, March 10, 2020 – Page 24

Olav Johannes Haakon Welde Olav (Ole) Johannes Haakon Welde was born December 21, 2001 to Alan and Ilene Welde.

Olav was the youngest of five children raised on the family farm southwest of Miquelon Lake. He was loved and cared for by brothers Lars, Jacob, and Nels, and sister Annelise.

Olav attended Kindergarten through Grade Two at Round Hill School in Round Hill, and then attended Grades Three through Ten at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Kingman. Olav was a Grade Twelve student at Hay Lakes School in Hay Lakes at the time of his passing.

Ole had a variety of passions. He loved reading; many childhood evenings were spent reading with Mom, big sister Annelise or big brother Lars. His personal library included history, historical fiction, and science fiction. With three older brothers and an older sister, there were countless opportunities to build and play “Chase” and “Hide and Seek”. His love for board games with Mom and siblings grew to having friends over for “Board Game Evenings” or visiting the Fox & Fable Book & Game Café in Camrose. Olav was an avid participant in Cornerstone Shakespeare productions.

His intrigue with the strategy of chess led to online chess matches with players from across the world. Sports activities included years of baseball with the Round Hill Eagles, junior high basketball at Cornerstone, cross country running with both the Cornerstone Run Club and the Hay Lakes Cross Country Run Club, and a year of curling with the Hay Lakes High School Curling Club.

Other interests included art and piano. He especially enjoyed his Art classes at Cornerstone and Hay Lakes, in particular projects with pastels and charcoal. His eclectic choice in music ranged from Classical to Country to Big Band. The house is so quiet without “Can you recommend a good book to read?”, “Why do you like this author?”, “Heh, have you heard this song?”, and his many deep questions about history and current events.

Olav was a traveller as well. Olav and several family members were in Disneyland in 2010. In 2013, Olav and Alan visited Norway and England; in 2014, Olav and both parents returned to England.

Olav spent a week in Hawaii in 2013 and returned for another week in 2017. Olav first attended ComiCon in 2012 with Lars, and attended later ComiCons with Jacob, Alix, Kris, and Annelise.

Olav was gifted with a keen mind, and found great delight in Social Studies and Language Arts classes. His plans for postsecondary education included a Bachelor of Arts in History at Augustana, and possibly Law at the University of Alberta or seminary at Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon.

Olav’s first venture into the work world was as a flatbread maker at The Lefse House in Camrose, where Olav worked weekends since Grade Ten. Olav thrived on the camaraderie and the fellowship of the “LefseTeam”. Olav enjoyed connecting with the Hay Lakes school staff and with the students in his Work Experience class. He treasured the times spent with Grandma Miller and with his dear friend Mrs. Karen Johnson.

Olav was baptized into the Christian faith on July 21, 2002 at St. Joseph Lutheran Church by Pastor Bill Harder. Olav’s Godparents were brother Lars, cousin Amanda, family friends Conrad and Carol Tomaszewski and family friends Richard and Cindy Schultz. Olav was confirmed by Pastor Charlotte StreckerBeseler on May 11, 2014. Olav was an active member of the St. Joseph congregation; he assisted with Vacation Bible School and taught Sunday School. He was a young man of deep conscience, and his faith was informed and sincere.

We remember Olav as a loving brother and uncle, as a young man with a gentle heart, as someone whose desire was to help and include others.

The loss of Lars when Olav was 10 impacted Olav profoundly, as did the passing of Grandpa Miller in 2016. Olav struggled with Depression for the last four years; he was under medical care and worked so hard to be well. We grieve that on the afternoon of February 20, 2020, in a moment of darkness, a decision took Olav from us far, far too soon.

Olav was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Helen and Donald Welde, his maternal grandfather, Harold Miller, and his oldest brother, Lars Welde. Olav leaves to mourn his parents Alan and Ilene, grandmother Shirley Miller, brother Jacob [Alix], sister Annelise [Kris Lyseng], brother Nels, nephews Evan Welde and Freddie Lyseng, niece Ellie Welde; his uncles Craig, Grant, and Blayne Welde and their families, his uncles Fred and Kevin Miller and their families, his aunts Cathy Pickard and Linda Berghs and their families; his St. Joseph family; and numerous friends and relatives.

A funeral service was held at Messiah Lutheran Church in Camrose on February 28, 2020, with Pastor Mike Harmon officiating.

Olav was buried alongside brother Lars in the St. Joseph Lutheran Church cemetery.

Beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, no words can express how much we love you and miss you. Peace eternal, Olav. We long for the day when we are together again.

Card of Thanks The family of Olav Johannes Haakon Welde wishes to extend sincere thanks to all who have supported us since the passing of our son, brother, uncle, and grandson on February 20, 2020. We are humbled by the love shown to us.

In particular, we wish to thank the staff of Burgar Funeral Home for their understanding and professional service; the first responders who came to the farm; Messiah Lutheran Church in Camrose for allowing us to use their facility for Olav’s funeral service and fellowship on February 28; Pastor Mike Harmon and Pastor Richard Schultz for their messages; Norman, Mary Jane, and Eric Skretting for singing “O Little One”, the song composed for Olav’s baptism; Bernell and Linda Odegaard and Jane Beck for singing “What a Friend We Have In Jesus”, one of Olav’s favourite hymns; cousin Seth for leading “Amazing Grace” on guitar; and the St. Joseph ladies for providing lunch after the internment. We thank our faith family, our neighbors, and our friends for their prayers and the many kindnesses shown to us.

We appreciate the support Olav has had from the Round Hill, Cornerstone, and Hay Lakes School communities, and from the medical professionals who worked with Olav over the past four years.

We cling to the promise of the Resurrection and the assurance from Romans 8:38, “For [we are] persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus.”

Dear Son, we miss you and we look forward to being together again. You are not with us now, but as Shakespeare penned, “thy eternal summer shall not fade.” You are greatly loved, and we are thankful for the gift of you as part of our family.

Sincerely, Mom and Dad [Alan and Ilene]; Jacob, Alix, Evan and Ellie; Kris, Annelise, and Freddie; and Nels

JEVNE, Sharon Rose July 2, 1947 ~ March 3, 2020 Sharon Rose (Linden) Jevne went home to be with Tom on March 3, 2020 in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, at the age of 72.

Sharon is survived by her daughter Terri Blackwell (Reg) and son Brett Jevne (Lisa); and grandchildren Tom Blackwell (Kelsey), Dana Blackwell (Alex), Bryce Jevne and Josh Jevne. She will be remembered by her brother Doug Linden and family; her sister Colleen Wright and family; special aunt Germaine Doel; and many cousins. A special mention to family friends Les and Eileen DeBelser and their families; and special family Fay Leitch, John and Deb Leitch.

Remember the Sharon who loved to laugh, who had a razor-sharp wit. Remember the Sharon who loved her beautiful yard and the moments in the sun with a coffee or a cold one to enjoy it. Remember the Sharon who loved chocolate.

Remember the Sharon who was madly skilled with any craft project she chose to learn.

Remember the Sharon who loved to people-watch and who was always a quiet, but sharp observer.

Serving your community for over 110 years Logan James Aspholm Our sweet Logan James Aspholm peacefully went to be with his sister Scarlet on February 23, 2020, surrounded by the love of his family.

Logan is lovingly remembered by his parents Ryan and Jody (Csernyanski); little sisters Blair and Lydia; and little brother Arlo.

Although he only lived 11-1/2 years, Logan deeply touched the hearts of everyone who knew him. After a long and hard struggle, our brave boy is finally free.

We find comfort knowing he is once again with his sister.

Our family will never forget the incredible outpouring of support and generosity extended to us when our two children, Logan and Scarlet, were first diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy in 2012. The journey has been difficult, but because of your generosity, our family fought their disease while spending time together until the loss of Scarlet in January 2018 and now the loss of Logan. We extend our heartfelt “forever” gratitude to all.

– The Aspholm Family

Barbara Hayduk 1934 ~ 2020 Our hearts are full of gratitude as we say many thanks to family members, friends and neighbours for all acts of kindness and sympathy: food, flowers, donations to the Hospice Society of Camrose and District and St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care ward, cards, visits and kind words spoken to our family regarding the recent passing of a wonderful mom, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend, Barbara Hayduk.

We want to express special appreciation to Dr. Morrow and the staff at Louise Jensen Care Centre for the care and friendship Mom received; to Father Joby for his comforting service; and to Burgar Funeral Home for their professional arrangements and caring service.

Barbara will always be remembered for her kind heart, warm smile and love for those dear to her.

Darryl Allen Sharkey May 29, 1959 ~ February 29, 2020 Darryl Allen Sharkey of Camrose passed away on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at the age of 60.

Darryl was born at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose, Alberta on May 29, 1959 to his parents Don and Irene Sharkey. Darryl attended elementary school in Donalda and finished his high school in Daysland. He enjoyed baseball, basketball and other school sports, and helped out on the family farm growing up. He graduated from high school in 1977 and had a job waiting for him on a gravel crusher in Vulcan. He then started his trucking career working for Haliburton in Grande Prairie. He came back to Camrose and bought his own gravel truck and started Darryl Sharkey Trucking. Trucking was his passion. He started his career at Border Paving in June 1988 and was an employee there ever since. Family was very important to Darryl and he was a big part of Garland and Lorrie’s family. He was lovingly referred to as Uncle Buck and brought joy to all who knew him. Darryl loved country music and was an avid Big Valley Jamboree attendee. He loved sports and watched all levels from the Camrose Kodiaks to the Edmonton Oilers.

He holds a special place in all our hearts and will be deeply missed.

Left to cherish his memory is his mother Irene Sharkey of Camrose; nephews Ryan Sharkey (Lacie Marion) of Edmonton and Jason (Cherilyn) Sharkey of Camrose; niece Lindsay (Matt) Wonnacott of Camrose; three great-nieces and one great-nephew Eliese (Nathan) Thompson, Mackenzie (Cody) Martin, Kailey and Kylar Sharkey.

Darryl was predeceased by his father Don, brother Garland and sister-in-law Lorrie Sharkey.

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 9, 2020 from CityLights Church with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating.

Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Q.

Are all Battle River Community Foundation funds the same?

A.

No! The Foundation offers seven different kinds of funds, one of which can certainly be tailored to suit your personal philanthropic needs. The most general type is a “Community Fund” which allows the BRCF Grants Committee of the day to choose projects that address emerging needs throughout the area served.

Battle of the Badges raised awareness and “fun”ds Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Battle of the Badges hockey event held on Feb. 29, between Camrose Fire Department (CFD) and Camrose Police Service (CPS) hosted lots of “action” on the ice.

The final winners were Camrose Special Olympics Athletes who will benefit from the unbelievable generosity of all who donated before and during the game, raising over $10,000 for Special Olympics.

Members of Camrose Special Olympics opened the game singing the National Anthem.

The smiles say it all.

Despite a one goal win for CPS, members of both teams were out to raise some funds and have fun.

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.

Collision claims one

By Lori Larsen

NEW IPAD

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Elks Lodge exalted ruler Gerry Czapp, back left, and Royal Purple royal lady Doreen Kelly presented Lee-Anne Benke and her sons, front from left, James, Michael and Merlin Hoyme, with a new iPad to play games, watch videos, listen to music and assist with hand-eye coordination skills.

Camrose RCMP investigated a two vehicle collision occurring on March 4 at approximately 3 p.m. near the intersection of Township Road 474 and Highway 833 north of Camrose.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a SUV was travelling northbound on Highway 833

when a collision occurred with a truck travelling southbound. The lone male occupant of the SUV, a 64-year-old male from Leduc County, was pronounced deceased on scene.

The adult female driver of the truck and a child occupant suffered minor injuries and were transported to hospital by EMS.
