is one of the gems in our community. Due to pandemic protocol, all scheduled events have been cancelled for the 2020 summer season. However, the Station is open to the public Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Guided tours are available by advance request. The always popular Gift Shop is open for browsing or buying. In the current environment, there are limited numbers of people allowed at one time, in a concerted effort to allow for prudent social distancing. If you choose not to tour any of the indoor features at the Station, at least swing by to stroll through the beautiful gardens. These, of course, are always open. These lovely spaces are the perfect place to eat your lunch, think about life today, or let your mind drift back to a far different era.

Big Spend locally mark@emeselectric.com
By Murray Green
It’s no secret that local small businesses make our communities run smooth. They support community events and sponsor our sports teams. They also provide about 70 per cent of all private sector jobs in Canada. They have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and everyone wants to support their recovery in the same way they have supported our communities time and again. A one-day event called the Big Spend will take place on July 25. Be part of helping to revive the Canadian economy by making an intentional purchase at a local small business of your choice. Try buying
Canadian- or North American-made products rather than foreign-made items. You can help by using the three-step method. Buy local: Make an intentional purchase at a local small business of your choice.

Keep breathing through your nose!
Once when I was upset, I babbled out a blather of distress to a dear friend. She listened. When I finally stopped babbling, she said one word: “Breathe!” I was startled. Then I took a deep breath. And something changed. I could actually feel my heart rate slow down and a few muscles relax. I wasn’t exactly calmer, but I was not wound up as tightly. Many traditions teach specific breathing practices that are supposed to help us be calm or increase oxygen in our brains and blood vessels or increase our physical stamina. I’ve been aware of some of those practices, even experimented with them sometimes, but have not paid much attention to the science behind them. A journalist, James Nestor, has now written an entire book about what current science is teaching us about breathing. In Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, he tells of the experiences that led him to participate in a study at Stanford University. The study looked at what would happen if people were to breathe through their mouths for 10 days. What happened? In a word, lots! In Nestor’s case, his blood pressure rose by an average of 13 points and he had 25 apnea events (like mini-choking episodes) while he was sleeping. A diphtheroid bacterium (which can lead to infection and disease) had settled into his face. He looked and felt terrible. The book’s biggest takeaway: Breathe through your nose. A Maclean’s article about the book reports that nasal breathing boosts our immune system, our circulation, our mood and even our sexual functioning. It triggers the sinuses to release a molecule that plays an essential role in delivering oxygen to our cells. We can absorb 18 per cent more oxygen breathing through our nose than we do by breathing through our mouth. And yet, Nestor writes, “Around half of us are habitual mouthbreathers” on account of the ways the human skull has evolved over the last 300,000–and especially the last 500–years. Our mouths have evolved? Nestor says this was the biggest surprise of his research. He learned that since the beginning of the Industrial Age, when humans began to eat more processed food, our mouths and jaws have been getting smaller. Over time, that caused our nasal passages to become smaller. Our airways suffered as a result. When we breathe through our mouths, we absorb much less oxygen than when we breathe through our noses. ***
Nestor began to be interested in breathing about 10 years ago. It was a tough time in his life–job stress, relationship stress, an old house that was basically falling apart and frequent bouts of pneumonia and bronchitis. A doctor recommended that he take a breathing class. In the breathing class, participants sat on the floor. A voice on a cassette tape instructed them to inhale and exhale slowly through their noses, over and over again. Nestor was skeptical, but settled into the exercise. When the tape ended, he was drenched in sweat. Over the next few days, his sleep improved and his stress level went down. That began his interest in breathing. Over the years, he met ocean divers who have trained themselves to hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes. He read reams of scientific studies. He surveyed ancient Chinese texts. He learned ancient Yoga breathing techniques. He volunteered to be a subject in numerous experiments. Nestor’s book chapter titles read like instructions: Exhale. Slow. Chew. Hold It. Nestor explains why breathing deeply puts less stress on the heart and why humming is good for you. Why inhaling for five-and-a-half seconds and then exhaling for five-and-a-half seconds might be breathing’s magic pace… Feeling a bit stressed by whatever is going on in your life? Breathe! And keep breathing. Slowly. Through your nose. ***

I’d like to add my thoughts to the current community discussion concerning Augustana Campus and in particular Jackie Lovely’s presentation of “the facts” in her column appearing in the July 7 edition of The Camrose Booster. She cites several statistics that show per student spending in Alberta universities is considerably higher than in other provinces. As with many statistics, context is important. For example, in 2017 (the most recent year I was able to locate statistics) median household incomes were $99,700 in Ontario, $94,200 in British Columbia and $78,300 in Quebec. The comparable median household income in Alberta for that same year was $113,700 which is 14 per cent higher than Ontario, 20 per cent higher than British Columbia and 45 per cent higher than Quebec. A university takes many people to run. It stands to reason that to attract the brightest minds to provide direction, teach in, and administer our universities that we need to pay wages that are competitive with those that are being paid in the private sector, which if median household incomes are an indication, are significantly higher in Alberta than the rest of Canada. Ms. Lovely points out that the administration costs for our universities are especially high per student compared to other provinces. I don’t want to dismiss her comment, as the discrepancy is significant. However, when per student spending is taken as a whole, and considering the different provincial median household incomes (and hence expected wages), the differences are much less severe. Do I think we should continue operating our universities with the status quo? Of course not. We should always be looking at ways we can deliver our programs more efficiently. In her column, Ms. Lovely states “Ensuring access to high-quality adult learning opportunities for all Albertans is a key priority for the Alberta government. Our rural institutions are incredibly important to the overall fabric of our post-secondary system.” What’s miss-
ing from this statement is the unequivocal assurance from the Alberta government that the Augustana Campus will continue to be a part of this “key priority.” Augustana and other rural post-secondary institutions are absolutely vital to the well-being and overall diversity of the communities they serve. I would add that in a time of COVID-19 and the uncertainty it has brought to our energy sector, our investment in rural post-secondary institutions such as Augustana is also a vital contributor to future economic diversity. Don Hutchinson, Camrose Not addressed
Jackie Lovely’s letter regarding “Budget to be balanced in future” on July 7 has done nothing to address cuts at Augustana Campus. MLA Lovely should be explaining to us, as Camrose constituents, what she is doing to help return the physiotherapy or nursing programs to our campus. We need her to stand up for our concerns, not educate us on why we should be quiet. As we have seen before, apparently our concerns are misplaced and require a lecture on the cost of Alberta’s universities. We live here, we understand the economic challenges currently, and we have concerns with UCP decisions in spite of this evidence. Investment in rural-based post secondary education is an investment in rural economies. Clearly, MLA Lovely does not know Camrose. She does not know Augustana. She does not know that we have recruited back many graduates of Augustana who now work in our area as veterinarians, nurses, physicians, small business owners, engineers, OTs, PTs, SLPs and more. Augustana is an unparalleled university community built on diversity of academic programs, culture, and sport. The UCP needs to shift to measurement metrics that matter. Sweeping statements such as “our schools have below-average completion rates” pale in comparison to retention of a university educated workforce choosing careers in rural Alberta. Some of us, like myself, didn’t graduate from Augustana because we were accepted into professional programs early, went on to complete further
education, and returned as trained professionals. If a (rural) Alberta Advantage is truly part of the UCP plan, they must start looking beyond solely balancing a budget. These massive cuts to Augustana are yet another example of a devastating loss to both rural healthcare and the broader vitality of our rural communities. Join me in speaking out against these changes and write to our MLA. Dr. Charley Boyd, Camrose MacKinnon Panel
Why do I get nervous when an MLA states…”I want to present you with the facts?” Ms. Lovely’s referral to the simplistic “bean counter” analyses and conclusions put forth by the MacKinnon Panel fail to recognize and understand the accrued history, including mistakes, of the last 30 years of postsecondary education and training in Alberta. Politicos are notorious for cherry picking data to support ideologue driven, preconceived conclusions. The comparative, interprovincial definitions of students, expenditures, operating and capital grants in your assertions are so wide and cavalier, can we be certain you are comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges? Your assertions are very disingenuous, especially in light of the UCP’s contention they purport to prioritize education and training to promote growth of the economy. Recent drastic cuts in science, technology and trades programs have the direct effect of undermining Alberta’s economic development; unexplainedly, colleges with religious affiliations received no cuts to their operating grants. Help me understand how graduates of religious programs will facilitate the wealth generating sectors of our economy. The “super analysis” also fails to “fess up” that, historically, Alberta’s post secondary institutions are substantively overbuilt. It was a costly and shortsighted decision to award degree granting status to polytechnics like NAIT and SAIT and to community colleges like Mount Royal and Grant MacEwan. Once the genie is out of the bottle, it is difficult to put her back in. Continued on page 6

Outdoor gathering limits increase By Murray Green
Albertans can now attend outdoor community events with a limit of 200 people. The Alberta Health Services increase applies to attendees at community outdoor events such as festivals, fireworks displays, rodeos, sporting events and outdoor performances. All public health measures, including physical
distancing, remain in place. Seated outdoor events will still require the necessary space between families and cohorts within stadiumstyle seating. Any large gathering increases the risk of transmission. Evidence suggests that outdoor events have a lower risk of transmission, provided other public health guidance is followed.
Alberta Health Services will continue to monitor case numbers and adjust as necessary. For more information on outdoor and indoor gathering restrictions, visit alberta. ca/restrictions-on-gatherings. General relaunch guidance, including sectorspecific recommendations, can be found at alberta.ca/ guidance-documents.

Just Sayin’ letters... Continued from page 4
European institutions typically encompass a two plus two model that facilitate two-year college graduates’ ability to take advantage of flexible articulation agreements with degree granting institutions and places of employment. The college graduates “top up” natural attrition from the first two years of university study and while earning a degree in the process; it provides a fiscally responsible “win-win” situation for students, colleges and universities. At a macro level, Ontario has 24 colleges and 21 universities serving a population of 14.6 million. By comparison,
Alberta has 14 colleges and 11 universities serving 4.4 million. Comparatively, each institution in Alberta serves 175,000 population approximately while each institution in Ontario serves approximately 325,000; double the efficiency of Alberta. Ms. Lovely…it is timely to support the rationalization of Alberta’s postsecondary offerings based upon consultation and listening to all stakeholders, and consider rescinding the funding of religious colleges to provide more support for business and industry training.

Niven on biathlon team Continued from page 3
Avry knows a few people on the team, but is looking forward to meeting the rest of them. “There will be three or four people whom I already know. I know coach Jacqueline from coaching in Camrose as well. I will be a lot busier in the wintertime now. I’m fine with that, I can manage everything that is going on.” Avry, 16, has age on his side. “I have to work on my shooting. Sometimes it is really good, but sometimes it is really bad. I want to be more consistent. Skiing has always been my strength. I’m able to make up quite a bit of time in skiing to make up for my time on the shooting range,” shared Avry. “Learning from people who are older and more experienced is always a plus. You can take a mistake they made in the past and turn it into learning experience and you know what not to do.” The natural skier wanted to enjoy the combination of cross-country skiing and shooting. “I still enter cross-country ski races. My dad (Lowell) brought me into biathlon when I was 10 years old and I have enjoyed it ever since. I learned a lot from him and I appreciate his help along the way.”
Congratulations, Steve Shuman! 60 years and counting at Shuman Insurance It was the summer of 1960 and a free-spirited Steve Shuman was trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life.
He started to see himself as the one who occupied the desk in the northwest corner. A decade later, that’s exactly where he was after buying the business from his dad. He worked the business. He kept ahead of the curve and his competitors with respect to technology, he upgraded constantly, making his business as cutting edge as possible.
He had just graduated from Camrose Lutheran College and aside from racing cars and chasing girls, he didn’t really know what else he was good at. His dad Ed had a thriving insurance business on Camrose’s main street. Would young Steve like to join him in the business?
Today, remarkably, he’s still at that desk in the northwest corner of the office, albeit only in the afternoons.
Steve didn’t see himself as the type of guy who would fit into the world of insurance, but on the other hand, he had to do something, so he agreed to join his dad, temporarily, while he thought about what he wanted to pursue.
His daughter Christine and her business partner Wendi Rau bought the business from Steve in 1999. Through the years, Steve served the community as a city councillor, a member of the Kinsmen and the K-40, a Rotarian, the Camrose Golf Club, the Camrose Flying Club and an officer in the Air Cadets.
Ed occupied the desk in the northwest corner of the office. Steve got set up in the desk closest to his dad. He began to learn the business.
He held his pilot’s license for years.
He met the clients and it was clear they liked him. They liked his sense of humour. They liked the no-nonsense way he could explain the insurance coverage best for their needs.
But perhaps his greatest accomplishment was the mentorship he provided to Christine and Wendi. They are profoundly grateful for his patience, his wit, his encouragement and the opportunity he gave them to grow into a business he would be working in 60 years after he joined it “temporarily.”
He was a natural at making connections with his clients and they appreciated that he did what he said he was going to do. Surprisingly, from Steve’s perspective, he actually enjoyed the work. He discovered he was good with the numbers, he liked meeting with clients and the paperwork gave him a sense of accomplishment. (Remember, this was the 1960s and there was a lot of paperwork.)

My children have a goofy game we play with our dog called Tag the Tail, where we run around and try to touch her tail, while she runs around, typically with a deflated soccer ball in her mouth. The other day, we were playing this and I suddenly looked at my children and wondered: Who will they marry? What will they do for a job? How many children will they have? I used to wonder how many kids I would have; what their names would be; what genders they would be. I found myself thinking back to my early years as a reporter and hoping that my kids will be as lucky as I was to find the perfect career for me. As a summer work term for my journalism degree, I worked at the Sylvan Lake News, Eckville Echo and Rimbey Review. I wrote a story about the Eckville water tower and was allowed to climb up it with a town staff member. I just couldn’t get over the fact that I was getting to do something that other people weren’t allowed to do. Even though I burned my leg a bit on a hot pipe, I thought, I have the best career in the world. After college, I was the reporter/photographer and then editor of the Nanton News. I ordered my own darkroom chemicals and had my own darkroom, which I thought was tremendously cool. As I would transfer my negatives to the reel in pitch blackness, I would think, I have the best career in the world. At the Okotoks Western Wheel, the editorial department had a blast, with five staff members under the age of 30. We worked hard to put out a good quality newspaper each week, but we also made time to have fun. With three female reporters and one male sports editor in one room, I had to make sure I wasn’t doing so much chatting that I wasn’t getting my work done. Then one Friday, my coworker announced that she was going to have to write stories that weekend. We reminded her that it wasn’t her weekend rotation to work and she replied that she had to write because she had hardly gotten any work done because she was so busy talking to us! Another time, my coworkers had decided that while the editor was out one hot Friday afternoon, we should raft down the Sheep River together. At first, I was very responsible and said that I couldn’t possibly do that. Ten minutes later I thought, how often will I have the chance to do that? Will I regret it if I don’t go? I called them on their cell phones and caught them right before they launched into the river. I can remember sitting happily (and damply!) at my desk, finishing my last stories, as the office staff were leaving later that night. One year for my birthday, the editorial team, aware of my love for candy, surprised me with a donkey piñata in the parking lot. One spring after severe flooding, town staff toured local reporters through the ravaged park area which was closed to the public, where we saw a tree that had been shoved right underneath the pathway. I looked in awe at the damage and was amazed by that fact that not many people were being allowed to see this. My editor thought it would be a good idea to have features promoting some of the different adventures people could do in the area. It was up to us to contact businesses and arrange for a free adventure in exchange for a full page story with photos in the paper. From this, I was able to go on a three-day trail riding adventure, overnight caving trip, as well as a whitewater rafting adventure. As a mom with young kids at home, I was able to write stories and later this column from home for The Camrose Booster. Being able to make money while being a full-time mom made me think again…best career in the world. Our niece has a book by Mike Berenstain called When I Grow Up. It talks about many different job possibilities and then sums up with a great life lesson at the end by saying, “So many different jobs to be done–just choose the right one and work can be fun!”

Pool targeted to open By Lori Larsen
The newly renovated Aquatic Centre is targeted to be open for public use during the week of Sept. 15 for 60 hours per week under strict health protocols and regulations, excepting, of course, any further restrictions that may be implemented by Alberta Health. City of Camrose Community Services general manager Ryan Poole presented to council, during the July 7 regular council meeting, five budget options for opening the pool, as alternatives to the original budget scenario approved by council in the fall of 2019. “The first option would be full hours (83 hours) with a little extra expense because of COVID-19 restrictions, which would be primarily in staffing, cleaning and crowd control.” The second option Poole proposed was opening at 60 hours which he requested include postponing the opening of the pool until Oct. 1 to allow for the recruitment of additional staff. “The biggest change you will see in that is a reduction of staffing. The lower the hours, the less staff we required per week. “You won’t see as much savings overall on the bottom line, because being open fewer hours, you end up with less revenue,” noted Poole. The next option was a reduction of hours to 40 per week which Poole indicated would be accompanied by an even larger decrease in revenue compared to the full hours originally proposed during budget discussion last year. “We know we are not going to get the revenue we originally budgeted for
back in the fall because of the COVID restrictions.” Poole added that those numbers could still change depending on what happens with the Province and COVID-19 restrictions in the upcoming months. The last two options, not recommended by administration, included leisure swim at 73 hours per week and leisure swim at 43 hours per week “We would put in some (attractive) temporary fencing and block off the whole competition pool and waterslide (the new addition) and have just the leisure pool side open for a while. There you would see a drastic decrease in revenue, because you would lose the vast majority of all your fitness swimmers and older youth.” COVID-19 restrictions
City of Camrose Aquatics manager Marcia Peek explained the current restriction recommendations set out by Alberta Health. “Right now, they are recommending only 100 people in the building. It is still the six-foot physical distancing. Once they are in the pool, that is not as big a deal as it is when they are in the change rooms, especially our change rooms, because they are narrow.” Peek said the pool communities across Alberta are suggesting different ideas to implement the restrictions and some of these communities will be opening prior to Camrose facility which should give them a better idea of what may or may not work. “We could make different times of day for different swims and have swimmers register or book times. That would also give us the ability to staff accordingly.”

All proceeds raised from the Walk A Mile (Camrose) event will benefit the Camrose Women’s Shelter by supporting the continuance of the Shelter and the services and programs offered. This year, instead of walking in the annual Kick’n Country Parade, which was cancelled this year due to COVID, the brave participants have been encouraged to find their own paths so to speak, and walk, dance, run, ride or do whatever to put in a mile that goes the distance in helping women and children in our communities. “Our brave men are going to be doing videos or still photographs in activities wearing their red shoes,” noted Camrose Women’s Shelter board president Lynn Horsman,

Anyone wishing to sponsor a walker are asked to contact the walker. Donations are also accepted through the Women’s Shelter.

Wildfire education By Lori Larsen
There is no need for boredom on a rainy day. Take this opportunity to explore some of Canada’s amazing wildlife. City of Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship coordinator Brittany Woelk invites children and others to visit the www.aiwc.ca/education/ wildlife-education-online/ website and discover great videos featuring interesting topics such as Wetlands Mammals, Hares and Rabbits and Skunks 101. “This website has different educational videos about Canadian Wildlife,” said Woelk. “You can also request certain educational programing at this email address education@aiwc. ca. Sit down and enjoy some of the natural wonders in this wide open country and even right out your own back door. Then
when the weather permits, grab a camera and head outdoors to see if you can locate some of the wildlife that call home right here around Camrose and Camrose County. There are all kinds exciting adventures just waiting to be discovered. As with all wildlife encounters, remember to keep a safe distance, admire but do not disturb and always respect our natural resources. “I hope everyone is getting in some nature experience this summer,” wished Woelk.

Bailey shows Marquee Rising By Murray Green
History of Camrose’s early days and the David Theatre, and how it turned into the present day Bailey Theatre was brought back to life in the production of Marquee Rising on July 9. About 120 in the audience, practicing social distancing, were joined by others watching on Facebook. “We hope the film will be entered in festivals because we think it is that good. The movie belongs to the Bailey,” said producer David Roth. “The Bailey didn’t qualify for the funding, so that is why I let my name stand as an individual as the executive producer. I will turn it over to the Bailey when my commitment to Telus is completed.” Roth was selected to receive $50,000 in production funding from the Telus Storyhive’s Documentary Edition to make the production possible. The creative team of Story Brokers Media House out of Bashaw created the video that is approximately 27 minutes in length. “The history of the Bailey Theatre was portrayed by the production team of Ben Wilson and Sarah Wray, who completed the filming and editing,” added David. Marquee Rising is a historical documentary that tells the story and life of the oldest surviving vaudeville theatre in Western Canada. Storyhive offered a $50,000 grant to organizations in BC and Alberta to assist groups with art, productions and promotions. The video was created to show before movies or when functions are hosted at the Bailey Theatre. Marquee Rising shares the journey of the Bailey Theatre through a number of changes throughout the years. Stan Bailey ended up being the longest proprietor of a movie house in the Dominion of Canada from 1919 to 1963. The family kept it going for another 10 years and then sold it. The theatre then closed in 1988, before restorations began.
“This film wouldn’t have happened without the dedication and passion of Mr. David Roth,” said David Francouer, president of the Bailey society. He then presented him with a token of appreciation. Donations will be g ratef u lly accepted through the Bailey Go Fund Me campaign, also accessible through the Bailey’s website. The funds helps the theatre pay the bills when it was closed due to COVID-19.

The automotive section of
Glover drives 1959 Monterey with style By Murray Green
Richard Glover of Irma owns a styling 1959 Mercury Monterey car. His son Joe did most of the restoring on the classic. “It came out of Camrose as a red car. It was a complete body-off restoration and there was nothing left together on this car. It was redone from top to bottom,” explained Joe. The Mercury Monterey is a series of full-size cars that were manufactured and marketed by the Mercury division of Ford from 1952 to 1974. “The coolest thing is the engine. It is a 430 Super Marauder motor with a 436 pack and two deuces. It is a factory 400-horsepower engine. Apparently, it was one of the first cars to have an option of motors right from the factory. This special engine was available for 100 vehicles with intake air cleaner systems built for Edsel, Lincoln or Mercury,” he added. During its production, the Monterey was offered in multiple body styles, ranging from coupes, sedans, hardtops, and station wagons. “We put in a 1958 Lincoln transmission into it because it had heavy-duty clutches. It is a nice cruiser. I have no idea how fast it can go, but it just keeps going. It is a beautiful highway car,” shared Joe. “It has a continental kit, cruiser skirts, new tires and it has

dual spotlights, which is really rare for these cars. Usually you just find one. I was told that I wouldn’t find a right-hand bracket. When I got a body shop to cut the holes, I found out they were two left-hand mounts. It took me two or more years
FUN FACTS
The full-size Mercury was redesigned for 195758 and grew considerably larger as well, riding on an exclusive 122 inch (3,099 mm) wheelbase. A new frame design allowed a lower floor, which made the car look lower and longer. Interior features included a front seat track stop (to keep the front seat from breaking loose), a new design for the safety steering wheel, a new radio, and memory power front seats. The station wagons were divested from the Monterey series, with the Commuter, Voyager and Colony Park lines. The 312 Ford Y-block gained 20 horsepower to go with the added weight, and the 290 horsepower 368 cubic inch (6L) Lincoln Y-block V8 became an option. Early 1957 Montereys had two headlights, however, later examples were fitted with four. The year 1958 brought an all-new engine: the 383 cubic inch (6.3L) MEL V8. With the new engine came the Merc-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission (in addition to the three-speed manual). A 430 cubic inch (7L) MEL V8 could be ordered. Body styles were four-door sedans and hardtops. Two-doors were available in sedans, hardtops and convertibles.
to finally find a right-hand spotlight mount, but I did find one.” Deriving its name from Monterey Bay, the Mercury Monterey served as the replacement for the Mercury Eight, the debut model line of the Mercury division. “Everything has been done, maybe not perfect original, but it has all been redone. The windshield is original and I didn’t have to find a new one. It had straight exhaust pipes on it and I put on leg pipes.” Over its 22 years of production, the Monterey served as the flagship, midrange, and entry-level offering of the full-size Mercury product range. “Dad had a car like this when he was younger and it was one of his favourites. It wasn’t his first car, but was definitely his favourite. One day, we came across it and then started to tear it apart. We fixed it up and take it to a little more than just car shows. We truly
drive it and it isn’t trailer driven.” The Monterey was the only Mercury nameplate to be in continuous production throughout the 1960s. “Firstly, I like this car.
Secondly, this is the car is similar to the one we got married in (wedding car). That brings back a lot of memories for me. We got married in back in Sept. 11, 1965,” recalled Richard.

AJHL unveils new fall schedule
MAINTENANCE • TIRES • BRAKES • OIL & FILTER • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENT
By Murray Green
T he A lber ta Junior Hockey League announced its schedule for the 2020-21 AJHL regular season. The league is preparing to begin its 57th season in September should provincial health regulations allow. The AJHL will consist of 15 teams in the 202021 season, which increases to 16 teams with the addition of the Blackfalds Bulldogs in 2021-22. Teams are scheduled to play 58 games in the new modified regular season format, including one game versus each opponent from the opposite division and two games at the AJHL Showcase.

Several partner agencies worked together on July 11 to rescue a father and his nine-year-old son who found themselves stranded on Miquelon Lake. At 7:40 p.m. Camrose RCMP received a call for assistance for missing swimmers at Miquelon Lake. A father and son were floating on an inflatable tube and had not been seen or heard from for hours. Neither had a cell phone and family members were alarmed. Camrose County Fire, Police Dog Service and RCMP Air Services were contacted to assist. Two boats were on scene but had difficulty due to low water levels. With the assistance of Edmonton Police Service (EPS) Air 1 the two subjects were located around 11 p.m. They were approximately two miles across the lake, stranded along the shore line. They were disoriented, and had lost their paddle, so they waited for assistance. Both were uninjured and returned safely to the Miquelon Park via EPS Air 1. Wetaskiwin /Camrose RCMP, EPS Air 1,Camrose County Fire Services, Miquelon Lake Park staff and volunteers all participated in the successful outcome of this incident. The RCMP thanks all partner agencies for stepping up to assist. This situation may have had a more problematic outcome for the stranded subjects had they not been located so quickly.

Daysland and Ryley receive government funding By Lori Larsen
Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely was delighted to present funding grants to the Town of Daysland and the Village of Ryley on behalf of the Provincial government as part of the Provinces strategic plans to invest in municipal infrastructure programs. The Town of Daysland received a provincial grant of $3,189,375 to be used toward upgrades to the Wastewater System, specifically rehabilitation of the lagoon, lift station and force main. This particular project is estimated to create 16 jobs. Daysland Mayor Ed Kusalik was overjoyed when he heard the announcement. “I couldn’t believe it when Rod (Krips, Daysland CAO) told me that the funding had come through from the Province. When Jackie Lovely, our MLA, came to Daysland, she told us that our presentation very much impressed the Minister. Of the three applications, ours was right at the top.” Kusalik commended the entire team of the Town of Daysland including council, administration and the engineering company that brought the plan together. He also commended the residents of Daysland. “James Marr from Banner Environmental Engineering did an awesome job of putting it together, as

well as our CAO and previous public works supervisor. Tein Coté, our town foreman supervisor, was also right up to date with this project. “It took 14 years, but we finally are getting a new station and just in the nick of time. When this last rain hit, Daysland had a lot of water running down the streets and our lift station failed. So we had to get vac trucks in to suck up the water. You can see the urgency to get this system replaced. A town’s prime infrastructures are its water and its sewer.”
In closing, Kusalik said, “It was always in the back of my mind, what happens when that alarm goes off and that pump system fails?” Daysland CAO Rod Krips remarked on the urgency of the upgrades to the town’s wastewater system. “Over the past several years, Daysland has been reviewing and planning for the replacement of our major utility infrastructure. The town has already started some of this work by completing the replacement of the Town Water
Treatment Plant and reservoir and relining 60 per cent of the sanitary sewer main using Cure In Place Piping (CIPP). “We are now focused on the replacement/retrofit of the remaining wastewater infrastructure. Our immediate need was to find grant funding that would assist us replacing the sanitary sewer force main, replacing the sanitary sewer lift station, completing a sanitary sewer lagoon retrofit and completing the Cure In Place Piping (CIPP) of sanitary sewer mains (relining).” Daysland submitted requests for funding over a number of years, but unfortunately were not successful based on a number of factors communicated to them by the various funding agencies. “During the onset of COVID-19, the Minister of Municipal Affairs, Kayce Madu held a number of Town Hall telephone conference calls regarding matters relevant to measures affecting municipal operations,” said Krips. “Based on the Minister’s comments, we felt that our project may well qualify as ‘shovel ready’, and were very fortunate to be selected as one of the successful applicants. This would not have been possible without the unqualified support of our MLA Jackie Lovely, and were awarded $3,189,375, which amounts
to 75 per cent of the projected cost.” The remaining 25 per cent is the responsibility of the Town of Daysland, which will be funded through applying for debenture funding through the Alberta Capital Financing Corporation. The Village of Ryley also received a $113,250 provincial grant to be used towards upgrades to the Lift Station Phase 2, specifically upgrading pumps for solids handling, flow measurement, controls and instrumentation. This particular project is estimated to create one job. “Our government is taking the next step to support Alberta’s economic recovery by significantly increasing new investment in municipal infrastructure programs,” noted Lovely. “We have announced approximately $50 million in additional STIP (Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program) funding to support almost 70 new projects and over 475 badly-needed jobs, boosting our economic recovery and getting Albertans back to work.” Lovely added that the Province is also investing $150 million in water infrastructure grants, such as that granted to Daysland and Ryley, that will support 55 water and wastewater improvement projects and approximately 1,300 jobs.
Government announces funding to Camrose County By Murray Green
Camrose County received funding for culvert and bridge replacements from the province. MLA Jackie Lovely presented Camrose County with $817,500 of STIP grant funding on July 10 that will be used for three projects including culvert and bridge replacement, and repairs. “I’m so grateful that we have this money in order to keep up with bridge and culvert replacements for the County. You hear from constituents when they are getting unwell,” said MLA Lovely. “Camrose County is pleased to receive funding under the Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program for three bridge projects in 2020,” said County Reeve Cindy Trautman. These bridges are in urgent need of rehabilitation or replacement as identified by the Bridge Inspection process. The grant program funds 75 per cent of the project and Camrose County pays 25 per cent. The bridges are located near the Nature Conservation Center, in the Round Hill, area and near Armena. “These proj-
ects would not be possible without this funding from the province,” added Reeve Trautman. “The three projects include culvert replacement of $367,500; bridge rehabilitation of $187,500; and culvert replacement of $262,500,” said Lovely. The purpose of these projects is to increase the
capacity of municipalities to support economic growth, improve safety and efficiency, improve accessibility and movement of goods and people, and extend the service life of key transportation infrastructure. Municipality requests were ranked according to these expected outcomes. “Our government is sig-
nificantly increasing new investment in municipal infrastructure programs, like STIP to fix and build needed roads and bridges in small and rural communities across Alberta,” said the MLA. The STIP program provides critical funding to support municipalities in developing and maintain-
ing key local transportation infrastructure to promote economic growth and improve travel for residents and industry. The work is scheduled to begin in the fall (when the water levels go down), depending on the weather, and once the proper permitting is obtained by the County.
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose County public works manager Zach Mazure and County Reeve Cindy Trautman welcomed funding for bridge and culvert replacements from Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely on July 10. Pictured is the bridge that is scheduled for rehabilitation this fall.

Guest editorial
Light side of politics By Arnold Malone
During heavy times, a theme from Reader’s Digest is in order, “Laughter Is The Best Medicine”. The following is some fluff from my political years. Gordon Taylor, a longtime Alberta MLA, a provincial cabinet minister and a Member of Parliament, had a dubious experience in Grade 1 after his class visited an orphanage. That night at the family dinner table, his dad asked, “How did you enjoy your your trip to the orphanage?” “It was just wonderful,” Gordon replied, and then added, “Gee, I sure wish I could be an orphan.” Gordon Stomberg, MLA for Camrose constituency, came into his office and found his staff shattered because of an angry phone call. Gordon phoned his cantankerous constituent. “Your utterly stupid government and your ignorant and reckless waste of money! They are painting dotted white lines on the gravel roads,” he shouted. It turned out that the highway workers were painting white lines on Highway 13, but at some point, their machine malfunctioned. The highway was becoming a painted mess. They tried to fix the stubborn problem to no avail. So, instead of messing up a paved highway, they pulled off on a gravel road until the proper adjustments could be made. In my own situation, there was this constituent–no longer among us–who had a Grade 5 education. He owned a ranch and also worked in the oil industry. All in all, he made a very decent living by working fifteen hours a day, almost every day. This constituent, who I will rename “Alphonse”, was a person who, if there was a meeting within 30 miles of his home, would be at it. He also spoke at every meeting. Moreover, it took a good chairperson to get him to yield the floor to anyone else. I once congratulated him for doing financially well. He told me his secret for success. “If you can’t make six per cent in business, then you just gotta do something else,” he said. “As an example, if you buy a hammer for $1, you need to resell it for $6. Anything less than six per cent is just failure.” He also had a habit of hearing others use impressive words and then would try to use those same words in his speech. In baseball, we would call his use of words, “a swing and a miss”. He was a person who, when he talked to another, did so with the toes of his shoes touching the toes of the other person’s shoes. He had big hands and usually his index finger was tapping on your chest to emphasize his points of view. His local Chamber of Commerce was holding a Fun Night and all speeches were to be lighthearted. After I spoke, Alphonse came to me and said, “You done good, you done real good, you got a standing probation.” On another occasion, when an organization wanted only humorous comments, I used the occasion to poke fun at myself. It was a series of jokes in which I was the brunt of each joke. After the speeches were over, Alphonse approached me and said, “That were a good speech. The audience sure liked that self-defecating humour.” Once Alphonse was speaking to me when he was trying to remember a word, and he told me, “It is right on the tip of my cuff.” Alphonse was like an exuberant wet dog at a wedding photo shoot. Friendly, but a little bit was a lot. Yet, he never failed to defend me. After one address I gave, he went to the microphone and told the audience, “I resemble everything he said.” I usually returned a tight smile.

He achieved many safety awards. Most of his life was spent working all over Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. In 2007, Michael was able to stay home and continue driving for himself – Mike’s Trucking and Rocky’s Trucking Ltd. Michael loved spending time with his family camping at Drumheller, Cochrane, Kananaskis and Mount Kidd where Brian was working. We will remember and miss your laugh, smile and encouraging presence. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at Daysland Alliance Church.

They farmed in Rosalind until they completely retired in 2007 and moved to Camrose. Left to cherish her memory are her children Laureen (Ross) Herder, Cathy (Jim) Urkow, Wendy (Tim) Buckle, Shelly (Roger) Urkow, Leanne (Curtis) Vikse, Linda (Kevin) Burkard; eleven grandchildren; twentyfour great-grandchildren (with one more on the way); one sister Jean Getzinger; one stepbrother Oscar Sjolin; sistersin-law Grace Sjolin, Marion Hoflin, Sylvia Turner, Bonnie (Ron) Kercher, and Marlene (Tim) Shopland; and two brothers-in-law Keith Schweer and Tom (Sharon) Orr. She was predeceased by her husband Merril; infant son Kenneth; brothers Albert, Walter, Bob and Teddy; and stepbrothers Karl and John Sjolin. Mom’s memory will be forever cherished in our hearts and will be dearly missed by family and friends alike. Due to Public Health restrictions, a private service has been held. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial donations in Ida’s memory are gratefully accepted to STARS or to the charity of one’s choice.

Thekla “Peggy” Ann Rissling September 23, 1925 ~ July 3, 2020 Peggy (Thekla) Rissling passed away peacefully on Friday, July 3, 2020 at the age of 94 years. Peggy was born in the rural area of Luseland, Saskatchewan on September 23, 1925, the youngest child of Michael and Anna Phillips. She grew up on the farm and attended various rural schools in the area. In 1945, she married Mike Rissling from the Denzil/Grosswerder district. They farmed three miles northwest of Luseland from 1946 to 1977, and they retired to Camrose in 1978. Peggy was a wonderful mother and homemaker – she was an excellent cook, baker, gardener and enjoyed the outdoors, square dancing, reading, hockey and baseball, visiting with friends and playing cards. She was a gentle, kind soul, and a beautiful and classy lady, always congenial. Peggy was a CWL member for 73 years; much of her volunteering was in the background in a quiet manner. Peggy’s family and faith were most important to her. Left to cherish her memory are her children Linda (Vern) Klotz of Edmonton, Karen (Vern) Reichert of Beaumont, Brian of Bruno, Saskatchewan, Robert (Marlene) of Camrose, and Patricia (Blaine) Panas of Camrose; twelve grandchildren Pam (Dave) Mitchell, Brad Klotz, Trevor (Orianna) Klotz, Denise (Donavin) Stefanic, Michelle (Mark) Ly, Amanda Wood, Sarah Rissling, Colton (Kayla) Rissling, Austin Rissling, Jessica (Mike) Blair, Tyson Panas and Christie Panas; sixteen great-grandchildren Dawson, Aiden and Brock Mitchell, Sydney Klotz, Violet and Lewis Stefanic, Ava, Kate and Evan Ly, Ryden Rissling, Peyton, Chloe, Aleigha Rissling, Zephrin, Masen and Ella Hatchey; as well as sisters-in-law Louise Phillips and Laura Rissling; and many nieces and nephews. Peggy was predeceased by her parents; husband Mike in 1994; her siblings and in-laws MJ Phillips, Tillie (Joe) Weber, Anna Phillips, Emma (Ben) Pohler, Molly (John) Burgardt, August Phillips, Joseph (Mary) Phillips and Otto (Kay) Phillips; as well as a number of nieces and nephews. Due to Public Health Restrictions, a Private Immediate Family Service was held on Friday, July 10, 2020 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Peggy’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta or to Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 14, 2020 – Page 20
City reinstates garage sales with guidelines During the City of Camrose regular council meeting held on July 6, council voted in favour of allowing garage sales to once again occur in the City, with the understanding that set-out guidelines will be followed. Several members of the pubic attended the meeting and six letters were read in support of reinstating garage sales within the City. Speaking in support of reinstating garage sales was Camrose resident Teresa Kuefler. “The farmers’ markets are open and there are far more people inside a building for a farmers’ market than you would see for a garage sale. I believe we are responsible enough to have an entrance and exit and sanitizer. We are capable of doing it. The casinos are open, the gyms are open. I really don’t understand why people are dead set against having garage sales.”
comments by council reiterated the responsibility of maintaining public health and safety is on the public. Councillor Agnes Hoveland was in favour, but did express some concern. “The reason we decided to continue with the closure (banning garage sales) was because we decided to err on the side of prudence and, given that there were no provincial guidelines in respect to garage sales, it was left to the municipalities. Consequently, we (Camrose Council) chose to be stricter. “However, I am satisfied that we are conveying a level of compliance with regulations that have been exhibited in Camrose all along for the last number of months. “I am, however, a little reluctant on this, because I don’t know how far afield people are going to come into Camrose for our garage sales. That is the risk that I fear. If we can trust that there is a level
Paul Behrens also spoke in favour of reinstating garage sales. “I don’t understand why we can have these large farmers’ markets–the downtown and the one in the mall that is in an enclosed building, when Hinshaw (Alberta chief medical officer) says it is better if you are out in the open. As adults, we know what we need to do. Camrose has done it, we have proven ourselves. We need to be treated like any other group. “If we follow the rules and keep the distance, I have no problem putting signs up for my people: keep your proper distance, one arrow in and one arrow out on the other side of my garage, then it should be all good to go and it is outside.” While council voted in favour of reinstating garage sales, concerns were voiced about protocols being met and garage sales attracting people from outside of the community, thus possibly increasing the potential for cases of COVID-19, but all
of compliance with all of those regulations, I would be fine with opening up garage sales.” Councillor Wayne Throndson said, “Similar to what we discussed when we opened up the Golf Course, follow the procedures or we shut them down again. I will take a leap of faith and add that level of trust. I don’t necessarily feel we need to fine people if they are noncompliant, but if a report comes back that there is general non-compliance with the guidelines that we put in place, the discussion will then be whether we shut them down again.” The City implemented the following guidelines regarding garage sales. Households in Camrose can now operate and attend garage and yard sales, with the following health and safety precautions to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19. The person hosting the garage sale is ultimately responsible for ensuring that orders of the Chief
By Lori Larsen
Medical Officer of Health Orders are followed at the sale. Hosts must:
Place the Alberta “Please Do Not Enter If” sign (visit City of Camrose website for a PDF copy) to advise shoppers not to enter the sale if experiencing symptoms or if they may have been exposed to COVID-19, and to remind them of physical distancing expectations and hand hygiene. Provide hand sanitizer containing at least 60 per cent alcohol. Maintain the cleaning and disinfection of common, high touch surfaces and frequently handled items. Plan the sale to allow for spacing of at least two metres between people of different households. Encourage shoppers to avoid unnecessary handling of items. The host should also implement appropriate controls for their setting, including the following. Spacing tables far enough apart to allow two metres of distance between shoppers as they browse. Limiting the number of shoppers at one time. Directing traffic flow within the sale using signs, ropes, floor decals or other markers, including single entrances and exits. Further to the guidelines developed by the City, everyone attending garage or yard sales are expected to follow all Alberta Health Orders including the following precautions. Do not attend any sales if experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been near anyone who is suspected of having, have been tested or has COVID-19; have travelled outside the country within the last two weeks or been in close contact with someone who has travelled outside the country in the last two weeks. When attending, ensure you use the hand sanitizer available at the sale, maintain a two-metre distance between yourself and anyone not a member of your family, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or use a tissue if you do sneeze or cough (not related to COVID), do not touch your face, completely sanitize any items purchased at a sale, limit the number of items you touch, stick to local garage and yard sales, carry your own bottle of hand sanitizer with you or in your vehicle and use it frequently.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce summer staff (standing left to right) Peyton Metzker and Sarah Dedrick witness the signing of the proclamation of Be a Tourist in Your Own Town week by City of Camrose Deputy Mayor Agnes Hoveland.
Be a tourist in your town By Lori Larsen
This year, more than ever, being a tourist in your own town has so much potential, and staying close to home does not equate to being bored. There are a plethora of amazing attractions and sights to get out and explore right in your hometown and county of Camrose. “We are excited to announce that the 16th annual Be a Tourist in Your Own Town week will run from July 13 to 17,” said Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce summer employee Peyton Metzker. Summer employee Sarah Dedrick added, “Although this year’s Be a Tourist in Your Own Town festivities will be a bit different from the past amidst the pandemic, it does not change our goal of encouraging the residents of Camrose to explore what our incredible community has to offer. “Now more than ever, it is important to stay close to home and support local businesses, which aligns perfectly to the spirit of Be a Tourist in Your Own Town. We have planned many exciting events that individuals of all ages can safely enjoy.” During the entire week of Be a Tourist in Your Own Town, the Chamber will be hosting colouring contests for both children and adults, and a Seven Wonders of Camrose and County scavenger hunt which will take participants to some of the ‘hidden gems’ of the Camrose area. In addition, there will be a week-long Eat Like a Tourist in Your Own Town event that encourages residents to order the feature dish at participating restaurants, then post a picture on social media using the hashtag #EatLikeATourist. There will be chances to win a prize.
Check out some of the other fun and family friendly events the Chamber has planned to get residents out and about, enjoying all the area assets. On Tuesday, July 14, parents can bring their children to the Bill Fowler Centre to pick up a Nature Bingo card for a chance to win more prizes. On Wednesday, July 15, join Chamber staff at the Bill Fowler Centre to plan your own Alberta road trip with the help of travel counselors and be entered in a draw for a door prize. On Thursday, July 16, you can participate in an Online Escape Room at 9 a.m. Visit the link on the Camrose Visitor Information Center Facebook. This Escape Room is formatted as a Google form where you can help the City’s very own Ole Uffda by navigating through local businesses websites to answer questions. On Friday, July 17, join Sacred Arts yoga studio and the Camrose Public Library for Yoga and Book Bike in the Park. This event will take place from noon until 1 p.m. at the Mirror Lake Park. This class is a pay-as-youcan event, and participants are asked to bring their own mat. “We have many fun events planned and a ton of awesome prizes to be won throughout the week,” said Metzker. For more information or details, contact the Camrose Visitor Information Centre/Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce at 780-672-4217, or visit the Camrose Visitor Information Centre Facebook page.

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.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Eight-year-old Rylee, front, and six-year-old sister Ava Damberger pick up some crafting goodies from City of Camrose Parks Pop Up volunteer Jaydn Johnson, left, on July 10 at Duggan Park. Not pictured were other volunteers Anna Poole, Paige Dyer and Harley Shymanski. There are 20 young volunteers spreading fun in Camrose during the summer months.
The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 14, 2020 – Page 23
I’m glad it only rained twice this summer – once for 47 days and then again for 32 days. I’m never lonely because I have four men in my life. I get up with Charlie Horse, I spend the day with Arthur Itis, I dine with Will Power, and I go to bed with Ben Gay. Maybe 2020 will be like a mullet where the back half is the party. What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards? A receding hare line. I have no clue what’s open or closed anymore. I just walk towards automatic doors and if my face hits the glass, I turn around and go home. I don’t know if I’m ready for marriage … imagine getting home after a long day at work and someone starts talking to you! Ever have a nap so good that you thought you missed the school bus? Except it’s Sunday … and you’re 42.

When life gives you lemons, give them back and tell them you want coffee. I went into the bank and asked the teller to check my balance. So he pushed me over.

Some things are just better left unsaid – and I usually realize it right after I say them. Camping: When you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person. Wearing a COVID mask allows me to talk to myself in public without anyone knowing.
Central Agencies Home of the Week
Energy efficient bungalow
What happened when the cow tried to jump over the new barbed wire fence the farmer built? Udder destruction. You can’t fix stupid, but you can numb it with a 2x4.
By Lori Larsen
Located in the sought after subdivision of Valleyview, this home is within close proximity to tranquil walking trails in the valley and playgrounds and parks for the children. Built with saving energy and costs in mind, the home’s ICF basement extends to the main floor walls as well. The gorgeous curb appeal sets the stage for this beautifully kept home. A room directly off the spacious front entry could be used as a bedroom or the perfect conversation room. Beautiful wide-planked hardwood flooring leads you to the main open concept living

area. A large family room with gas fireplace and the dining area are all open to the kitchen, so preparing meals means never being out of touch with family or guests. The gourmet kitchen with granite counter tops boasts a large eat-up island, corner pantry and plenty of room to move around. Also located on the main floor is a large master suite retreat with a homeowner’s private en suite getaway that features a corner jetted tub and walk-in shower. A good-sized main floor laundry combination mud room keeps the rest of the home in order and a main floor fourpiece bathroom is convenient for guests.
The completely finished basement includes two more large bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom and a large family room that could easily include an area for a games table, crafts or children’s play zone. Under-floor heating on the main floor and infloor heating in the basement mean no more cold feet. Step out onto the large half-covered back deck and enjoy the fully fenced backyard. The attached heated garage also has in-floor heating for keeping vehicles nice and toasty. This beautiful Valleyview home, located at 2607-57 Street and priced at $497,500, is an exceptional find.
