St. Patrick Catholic School (Camrose) assistant principal Michelle Nanias, left and principal Bob Charchun are eager to welcome students back to the classroom with Hadley Bellamy, left front, and Teckla Nanias. By Lori Larsen
During the first week of September kindergarten to Grade 12 students across Alberta will be returning to the classroom, following Alberta Health Guidelines, part of which is the mandatory wearing of face coverings (masks) for Grade 4 to 12 students and staff where physical distancing cannot be maintained,
including on school buses and shared areas such as hallways. The following are guidelines provided by Alberta Health Services for masks during transportation and in-school learning. Masks are not required while students are seated in the classroom during instruction if following the
physical distancing guidance for schools. Masks are required in the classroom when close contact between students, or students and staff, is occurring. Masks should be used for the duration of this activity. Exemptions will be made for students and staff who are unable to wear a mask due to medical or other needs. Mask use for kindergarten to Grade 3 students is optional, but recommended. All students and staff will get two reusable masks. Government will distribute more than 1.6 million masks to 740,000 students and 90,000 staff. School staff will get one reusable face shield to use in schools at their discretion. A mask must still be worn while wearing a face shield. Schools will be making every effort to teach students proper procedures for using non-medical masks in the classroom on the first day of classes. Individuals who are physically, psychologically or developmentally unable to wear a mask, will be excused from this health protocol. Families will work with the school principal to discuss this relative to their child.

CRE receives facility grant By Murray Green
The Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) received $125,000 from the provincial government’s Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP). CRE was successful in applying for the grant from the ministry of culture, multiculturalism and status of women, Aug. 18. “We are delighted to have success with our granting program and awarded the CFEP grant of $125,000, which was submitted in January. As an agriculture society and non-profit, the importance of these grants from the Government of Alberta is paramount in order to make major infrastructure improvements that could not be done otherwise,” said CRE board of directors president Mark Schneider. “This funding allows us to start the project now and get people working in the Camrose area,” he added. “The new administration building is a multi-year project that we are excited to get going on. It’s exactly the good news we needed to keep future focused, while dealing with the loss of events due to COVID-19,” added executive director Diane Kohler. “Our old administration building has about two to four years of life remaining without a major investment in repairs. We believe that it makes more sense financially to work towards long-term infrastructure solutions, rather than quick fixes. We are grateful to the government for continuing it’s CFEP granting program during these challenging economic times,” Kohler said. The funding is expected to cover between 20 and 30 per cent of the actual cost of the addition. The CRE is home to the Big Valley Jamboree and Canadian Bull Congress.

A cup of kindness and compassion
A friend lives in a community where parents gathered around a school division office to protest the school division’s plan for reopening schools. Observing this, my friend made a comment I appreciated. She said, “When the people on the school board ran for election, nothing could have prepared them to think they would someday have to make plans to handle a pandemic.” She felt compassion for the worried parents. She also felt compassion for board members and administrators in a situation that none of them–and none of us–has faced before. ***
I too feel compassion for worried parents. Once when I had children at home and worried about something happening at school, a school person told me that all I had to think about was my own children but the school person had to think about all the children. Did I care about that? Nope. Not one cell in my body cared about anything except what would be good for my child. So yes, I feel compassion for worried parents. I also feel compassion, not just for school trustees and administrators, but for all the leaders in our public institutions and private businesses and non-profits and communities. All of them are doing their best to figure out how best to handle circumstances that nobody on the planet has faced before. ***
Once upon a time, when everyone’s life was simpler, I served as a school board trustee. When I decided I would run in the school board election, I’d been a teacher and from time to time had not agreed with some school board decisions. I thought my classroom perspective might be of some value on the board. Winning an election was fun. I enjoyed one evening of celebration. That was the last fun I had in the role. ***
Our first meeting was instructive. What could school trustees influence? Well, not the curriculum. That was decided by the province. Not anything to do with administration or managing school facilities–off-limits for board members. Not teachers or other school staff–overseen by the superintendent and controlled by labour agreements. So, what could we do? Our job was to make policy. Period. Policy about what? When you removed curriculum and teaching and facilities and administration, not much. Well, one thing for sure: the budget. So. Our job was policy. Period. And make the budget work. Except, we had almost no control over how much money we had. The province controlled that. We also had little control over most expenses. Utilities cost what utilities cost. I cynically concluded that, whatever my fantasies might have been about what board members could contribute, our real job was to take the local heat for decisions over which we had almost no control. Remember the book and the movie, “Catch-22?” Where a person might think they could do something, but it turned out that everything was impossible? Yep. Catch-22. That’s what the job of school trustee felt like. And those were simpler times. ***
In this global pandemic, none of us knows what we’re doing. Each of us is handling what we handle as best we can. Lots of times our stress responses kick in and we’re not at our finest. I have in my life sometimes felt wicked satisfaction making zingers about various people in leadership roles. Sometimes I’ve been in leadership roles, enough to know things are never as simple as they seem from the outside. That’s given me a tad more compassion for anyone in a leadership role–and anyone impacted by decisions of people in a leadership role. At a minimum, let us have compassion for ourselves and one another as we all do the best we can to handle a situation that none of us has experienced before. ***

Political interference in curriculum development in public education sets a dangerous precedent. Curriculum development must follow a standardized process that ensures curriculum content is defined and validated by carefully selected stakeholders and meets stakeholders’ and students’ needs. From a personal perspective, the selected “advisors” did not represent an appropriate cross section of our educational spectrum nor did they indicate they adhered to a standardized process. Curriculum development in Canada, except for the university sector, uses a DACUM (Develop A CUrriculuM) model. This model is used by virtually all institutions across Canada and by Canadian education and training consultants who export this developmental model to many countries on every continent. The resulting curricula provide a winwin situation for students, graduates, stakeholders and employers. Competencies /outcomes are clearly measurable and explicitly defined; plus the required skills, knowledge and attitudes are documented to achieve each competency/outcome. Critical essential skills are defined including reading, writing, numeracy, critical thinking, time management, computer skills, communication skills, internet skills, resource utilization and special requirements which complete the process. End users, namely, business, industry, receiving post secondary stakeholders, and community stakeholders define and validate the curriculum content. Educators, typically, have little input into defining the curriculum content; their role is to use their pedagogical expertise to deliver the curriculum, not define its content. In the “revised” curriculum, will Albertans see a revised science curriculum that denies the Copernican heliocentric theory (denounced by Pope Paul III) be replaced by the sun, moon and stars revolving around a flat earth because it fits a made-in-Alberta narrative? Lynn Clark, Camrose Property taxes
We are seniors on a fixed income. We live in
Camrose County because we like to live in the country, although it is not less expensive, or more convenient than urban living. Acreage taxes are high enough. We do not need to be subsidizing the oil and gas industry, or the agriculture industry. Suggestions to alleviate budget concerns: hire a lawyer to make oil and gas companies pay their taxes, past, present and future; shareholders, particularly non-Canadians, can pay their share. Reduce/eliminate programs and staff including councillors, every nongovernment business does since they can’t run to governments to ask for more money. Eliminate contractors (ie: road dust control) so our taxes pay for our services, without paying for private company contractor’s profits and shareholder profits. Revise agricultural taxes because agricultural vehicles are the heavy users of county roads. Postpone/delete new rural policing; return criminals to their jurisdictions for prosecuting. Revise tax dollars that go to the City of Camrose; rural residents support city businesses and services and pay for amenities used. Sell the County building and move into the fourth floor of City Hall, since they have extra space. Patricia Reiter, Rosalind Great finds
I’d like to thank those responsible for Kick it to the Curb. It was a great way to find a new home for things not in the Thrift Shop, Emergency Clothing Depot, nor ReStore category. M. Elizabeth Bagdan, Camrose More education
I want to thank MLA Jackie Lovely for her columns in the Booster, but I wish she would take the time to understand the topic before she tells us how to think. Recently Ms Lovely trumpeted UCP educational reform. She said she wants teaching of knowledge, not “discovery or inquiry learning.” Well discovery/inquiry learning is a means to develop children’s thinking skills. For the last 30 years provincial diploma exams have been based 25 per
cent on knowledge and 75 per cent on the student’s thinking skills. That is because in our rapidly changing world knowledge is soon outdated, but thinking skills are good for life. She doesn’t like kids to be exposed to the views of extinction rebellion along with the views of the oil and gas industry. Ms Lovely doesn’t seem to understand that children learn to analyze and evaluate by being exposed to different ways of thinking about the same issue. So, no matter how much Ms Lovely wants education to go back to 1960s style piles of facts to memorize, it just isn’t going to happen. And Ms Lovely feels that this education reform should be transparent, but they’ve set up a 12-member Curriculum Advisory Panel without public consultation and they are not telling what role this panel has. And she feels the process should be non-political, but the panel includes Chris Champion, former advisor to Jason Kenney, who has some pretty extreme political views. So much for transparent and non-political. By all means I hope Ms Lovely continues to communicate with citizens. But I wish she would spend more time listening to what people have to say and less time telling us how to think. Rob Hill, Camrose Great trails
I would like to thank the parks department staff for keeping our walking trails, parks and off lease dog park in such good condition. We are lucky to live in a city where we have such special places. My complaints are: If you walk your dog on Mirror Lake pick up after. There are free bags in two places along the lake if you forgot your own. If you bike please have a bell, horn or call out when you pass. If you need to smoke please put your butts in the many trash cans provided. Respect other people, be thoughtful of their space. Enjoy these times outside. Sandra M. Nelson, Camrose

The boards of directors of Vision and Lakeland Credit Unions announced they have begun formal merger discussions on Aug. 21. The first step of these discussions was to sign a mutual letter of intent to set out terms and allow the two credit unions to begin the due diligence phase. This phase includes sharing information and developing a plan to create a partnership for employees and member/owners of the two credit unions. “We’re excited about the possibility of working with the Lakeland team and about serving the membership and trade area,” said Alan Fielding, Vision Credit Union president. “Vision Credit Union is rooted in Alberta and committed to providing financial services to the people who live here.” “By choosing to have two highly successful credit unions come together we will add great value and advantages for our member/owners and communities, which both remain our top priorities. Lakeland Credit Union is therefore delighted to have the opportunity to set the course for a strong future with our close partners at Vision Credit Union,” said Charmaine Code, Lakeland Credit Union board chair. Serving central and northern Alberta from La Crete to Camrose to Cold Lake, the two credit unions have loyal community support through the member/owners. Both credit unions are considered to be in strong capital posi-
tions according to accepted worldwide financial standards. In addition, membership growth in the two credit union coverage areas has been consistent. The coverage areas neighbour, they do not overlap. To inform members, staff and the overall communities Lakeland and Vision will be hosting both virtual and in person town hall meetings as COVID-19 restrictions allow. In addition, an information site www.ruralvisionab.ca, will be updated on a regular basis with the latest information about the merger talks. Vision and Lakeland Credit Unions plan to bring the proposed merger to a vote of their memberships in fall 2020. The ultimate goal is to provide a united credit union to serve rural and northern Alberta areas strong in credit union values. If members of both credit unions vote in favour of this growth opportunity and the required regulatory approvals are received, the amalgamated Credit Union, under the banner of Vision Credit Union, will serve more than 35,000 members at 19 branch locations, with more than 269 staff members and approximately $1.9 billion in assets. Members who have questions or concerns are also invited to call 1-833-VCU-TALK (1-833828-8255) to speak with Steve Friend, CEO of Vision Credit Union or call 780-812-3601 to speak with Kelly McGiffin, CEO of Lakeland Credit Union.

Camrose residents seeing green By Lori Larsen
Mirror Lake has taken on a bright green hue around the shorelines with the onset of algae forming, which is in part due to the warmer temperatures we have been experiencing.
being washed into the lake from upstream (i.e. within the Camrose Creek subwatershed, upstream of Camrose). “Mainly phosphorus and nitrogen from adjacent agricultural lands. Over-fertilization from
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Green algae forms along the shorelines of Mirror Lake.
“Algae typically grows in shallow lakes in Alberta in the summer months,” explained City of Camrose, engineering services manager Jeremy Enarson. “This is particularly problematic in warmer temperatures (of which we have had a lot lately).” Enarson went on to explain that a major contributing factor is nutrients
Camrose residential properties would also contribute. However, if you look at the amount of area draining into the lake from Camrose residents versus that from the County, we are a relatively small contributor to the overall problem.” The City is required to conduct regular testing on the water supply and treated water, for certain toxins
(microcystin) that might be released from cyanobacteria (i.e. blue-green algae), in order to ensure that any levels in the City’s drinking water are below the Health Canada guideline of 20 micrograms per litre. Enarson noted that in 2019, the microcystin levels in City drinking water were 500 times lower than that limit. “This is a testament to the high quality of treatment provided by the processes and the operators at the City’s water treatment plant,” said Enarson and reassuring to residents that the water that comes out of sources such as Driedmeat Lake (which is downstream of Mirror Lake) are put through stringent processes in order to provide a safe water supply. However the City discourages residents and pets from ingesting water directly from Mirror Lake and recommends limiting exposure to the algae by using extra caution, while participating in recreational activity around or on the lake.

Murder suspect arrested in Camrose By Lori Larsen
Edmonton Police Service (EPS) recently completed an intense investigation resulting in the arrest and charges of homicide against a 32-year-old Camrose man, in relation to the May 24 murder of Lisa Arsenault. Camrose Police Service (CPS) provided assistance to the EPS investigation shortly before an arrest was made. Resulting from public tips, the suspect, was arrested in the afternoon of Aug. 20 and was later charged with first degree murder. The investigation stemmed from a call received by Edmonton Police Service on May 24 at approximately 8 p.m. with patrol members of the southeast division responding to a call at a motel near
38 Avenue and Gateway Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers found a deceased female inside one of the motel suites. On Thursday, June 11, Edmonton Police Service released surveillance images of a person of interest who was seen walking outside of the motel where Arsenault was murdered. A composite sketch, a video clip and images related to a suspect and a vehicle were also released to the public on Tuesday, Aug. 18. Further investigation into the matter by both EPS and CPS resulted in identifying a suspect in the City of Camrose, and the subsequent arrest of the suspect. Court dates are pending.
Council remuneration to reflect zero per cent increase By Lori Larsen
During the Aug. 17 regular council meeting City of Camrose administration presented the amended Council Support and Remuneration Policy for council adoption. Specific changes to the revised policy addressed Section 3.7 Remuneration Review with regards to the Citizens’ Committee formed to review, report and make recommendations on salary, benefits, expense remuneration and related policies for Elected Members of the City of Camrose. The changes added indicated that the committee will complete its work before May 31 in the second year of each council term. Recommended changes also included an effort to align City of Camrose coun-
cillor salaries with that of comparator municipalities by recommending councillor base pay amounts will be adjusted by five per cent in 2021. Currently City of Camrose council members’ 2019 salaries, as per the Council Support and Remuneration Policy, stands at $21,633 annually. This compares to Camrose County councillor salaries (2019) ranging from $49,233 to $54,150; City of Leduc councillor salaries (2019), ranging from $47,336 to $52,583 and the City of Fort Saskatchewan, councillor salaries (2018) ranging from $35,938 to $37,738. Council comments
Councillor Greg Wood suggested the five per cent, be changed to zero. Councillor Agnes
Hoveland commented. “I don’t think this is the time, given the situation, to have a five per cent in there. I think it should be considerably less.” Councillor Wayne Throndson agreed with councillor Wood’s suggestion to change the five per cent to zero. “I think this policy should take effect for the next council after October 2021, this policy should come into effect for the next council. I recognize why a council remuneration policy is there and I think, in reality, Camrose council is one of the lowest paid in Alberta, but this is not the right time considering the economic strife we find ourselves in. It would be hard to justify it now. “My concern is that future city councils will
have to catch up. We can’t expect qualified people to continue to run for city council, with the time commitments that are in place, and be the lowest paid in the Province of Alberta.” Throndson added that the council members recognize being a councillor is a public commitment. “It is not about the money. But saying that, I think future councils have to wrestle with this and bring it inline with other municipalities within the Province of Alberta.” Councillor Max Lindstrand agreed with the comments made by the other councillors adding, “We did take a two per cent roll back this year, which would be a signal when it comes to our negotiations, that we are setting a trend.
I agree they should just be frozen at the current level.” Council suggested administration revise the report to reflect further changes as discussed. During a separate interview City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd stated, “Although I can fully understand the reluctance of our Council to adjust their level of compensation in the current economy, they are substantially less well compensated than our comparators. “The risk is that this lack of compensation will limit the interest in running for council in the 2021 election. ‘Would be’ councilors have to consider the significant time away from their full-time employment in order to meet the obligations of being a councillor.”

COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. We are trying to keep up with the newest guidelines and regulations that are rolled out with great frequency. Often, these guidelines are not written in stone and can be left open to interpretation. Problems can escalate quickly when neighbours start policing neighbors over such interpretation. Social shaming, bullying and cruelty result when people are scared. Of course, when it comes to COVID-19, it really can be a scary life or death situation if someone falls ill. While shaming can be framed as concern for someone, calling out someone’s actions can be done privately rather than a public trial. Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, said “Let’s be honest. Living with COVID-19 is really hard. We are all tired. It is easy to be frustrated or even angry if our lives are disrupted further by an exposure to COVID from someone in our circle.” She acknowledges that everyone is

trying their best to help stop the spread and we need to fight shame with compassion. Our mental health can suffer during these difficult times. Social isolation, shaming and bullying can all result in distress. Reach out to the Alberta Health Services Mental Health Helpline at 1-877-303-2642 (24/7) for assistance. You can telephone Service Options for Seniors and we will have a chat with you; call 780-6724131. Even getting out of the house can help and will
reduce social isolation. Go for a walk around Mirror Lake, sit outside and read the “funnies,” visit the farmers market, check out a book from the library. Taking precautions can keep these interactions safe and healthy. Being armed with the most current facts is extremely helpful.

Parking charges at St. Mary’s Hospital to be reinstated Continued from page 7
Failure to pay for parking at St. Mary’s Hospital may result in a fine for illegal parking or your vehicle may be towed. “We would like to remind the community to refrain from parking in the fire lane by the hospital entrance, as those who are parked there for more than five minutes may be ticketed or towed. Pick up and drop off of patients
with mobility issues can be done in the ambulance bay. The staff parking lot will also be monitored, as all our staff have been issued placards after paying for parking,” said site administrator Cherylyn Antymniuk. Current visitation guidelines at St. Mary’s Hospital allow two immediate family members or designated support individuals for all admit-
ted inpatients, including maternity and pediatric patients. One immediate family member or designated support individual will be permitted to visit in the emergency department or in an outpatient clinic. Patients under any sort of isolation precautions are not permitted visitors at this time. Children and youth under 14 years are not
permitted to visit the hospital. “We truly appreciate your patience as visitation guidelines
change and progress, and we will continue to keep our community updated,” said Cherylyn.

Learning
Whether families choose to have children return to in-person classes or continue at home, BRSD is ready to support students’ learning. At-home learning opportunities can be accessed through any BRSD school. Just register at the school you would normally attend and then make arrangements for at-home programming. BRSD will have designated teachers available to support at-home learning – it won’t be the same teachers that are leading in-person classes. All students, regardless of grade, will have four opportunities to switch between in-person and at-home learning during the school year. A switch can be made at the end of each quarter (see dates below). In-person classes will be offered in a slightly different format than in previous years. Elementary and Junior High students will be working together in cohorts, which is a group of people who stay together. Each cohort will have classes and breaks together. There will be a strong focus on determining where students are currently at in their learning and moving forward. High Schools will be operating on a quarterly system. This will allow students to focus their efforts on a smaller number of classes at a time. Diploma exams will be available at the end of every quarter. The quarters will run: • Quarter 1: September 3 to November 10 • Quarter 3: February 1 to April 20 • Quarter 2: November 16 to January 29 • Quarter 4: April 21 to June 29 Want to know more? Check the School Re-entry (Fall 2020) page on our BRSD website brsd.ab.ca for updates and details as they are finalized.

Hladun receives grant for research By Murray Green
The Alberta Innovates’ Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge is accelerating the development of pathways for large-scale production of carbon fibre. They are advancing manufacturing products from Alberta’s bitumen. “Carbon fibre’s high strength, stiffness and corrosion resistance, coupled with its light weight, make it better than many conventional metals and polymers used in transportation, infrastructure, construction and consumer products,” explained Tony Hladun of Camrose, one of the recipients of a grant. “Back in 2015-16, when the NDP were elected they had an initiative to look at uses of oil other than burning it. It was called the Bitumen Beyond Combustion Initiative,” explained Tony. “They wanted to know what to do with heavy oil. It was environmentally driven and they wanted sustainability. At that time, one of the ideas that I had from my previous engineering work was the idea of making carbon fibre. It can be made from heavy oil because it is basically carbon and hydrogen but it is quite a complex manufacturing process. Deanne Morrow and I couldn’t get the province to move on it then, so we stopped.” Alberta’s abundant bitumen feedstock is uniquely well-suited to advanced manufacturing applications and significantly less expensive than existing sources. The potential to dramatically lower input costs for advanced materials opens the door to large scale production demands and markets around the world. As a result, the global carbon fibre market is expected to grow ten-fold due to uptake from the automotive industry alone. “During the first research period I made a connection with Clemson University in South Carolina. They are the world experts in carbon fibre manufacturing. When this Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge came along in January, I teamed up with them to put a bid in together. The research is done at Clemson and I am the project coordinator and the liaison with Alberta Innovates, which is the government agency sponsoring the work,” said Tony. Commercial markets for non-combustion products from bitumen could quadruple the current value of Alberta’s bitumen output. Markets for carbon fibre and other asphaltene
products are valued at an estimated $84 billion annually. GHG emissions would be reduced at the point of consumption as bitumen is diverted from combustion. “Clemson has some Alberta heavy oil and they are using their technology to actually make carbon fibre. Over the next four or five months they are going to see what quality they can get and to see if it is a viable process,” shared Tony. Successful Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge phase one projects from Alberta, across Canada and around the world will accelerate development of this technology significantly. Top labs are now working to produce carbon fibre from Alberta’s bitumen-derived asphaltenes. “There are many uses of carbon fibre, but the three main uses of it are in blades of large windmill generators, in cars and transportation, and in the construction of new aircraft. You can greatly reduce the fuel consumption when half of the plane is carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is six times stronger than steel and half the weight of aluminum, so it is very strong and very light,” added Tony. Other uses are for sporting equipment such as hockey sticks. “You could make canoes that weigh 10 pounds so that anyone could
Tony Hladun carry over his/her head. Another use is in building construction. Now you mix rebar with cement to make it stronger. Rebar can rust, but carbon fibre will never rust away and it will last a lot longer. Right now it can be used in making construction repairs. We need to see how cost effective it is for other uses.” Many winners will provide additional resources toward the challenge projects beyond the Alberta Innovates’ $1 million investment in phase one. “Carbon Fibre derived from Alberta’s bitumen is a significant opportunity for Alberta to diversify our natural resources sector, create jobs, open new markets and grow the economy,” said Tanya Fir, minister of eco-
nomic development, trade and tourism “Alberta has the potential to transform global advanced materials markets and produce billions in new revenue for the province from bitumen feedstock. By bringing the best ideas from around the world into Alberta, we can expedite the development of these new technologies and position Alberta as a leader in this area,” said Laura Kilcrease, CEO, Alberta Innovates. “The Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge is delivering on the promise of innovation and creating chemistry for a more sustainable and prosperous future for Canada’s natural resources. As a leader in the chemistry industry, BASF is proud to support its success,” said Daniel Hebert, head of business development-western Canada, BASF. Zetetic Associates of Camrose, Hladun’s company, is researching valueadded conversion of Alberta bitumen into high performance carbon fibres. He received $49,500 and partners with Clemson University in South Carolina on research with Professor Amod Ogale and his students. In total, 20 universities and research companies received grants to study all aspects of carbon fibre. Alberta Innovates’ Carbon Fibre Grand Challenge (‘CFGC’) is a $15 million, three-phase competition with the objective of accelerating the development of large-scale production pathways for short and continuous carbon fibre from bitumen-derived asphaltenes and promoting their use in manufactured products. “Carbon fibre is an important part of the future because of the indestructible nature of it. When I started, that was a positive thing to build upon, not a negative of the oil industry. Right now, carbon fibre sells for $10 a pound. It is expensive, but the object is to make it cheaper. When you look at the value of heavy oil, a barrel weights about 400 pounds. If you could convert a barrel of heavy oil into carbon fibre, now this is simplified, but it has the potential to be $4,000 a barrel. Now a barrel of oil is $40, so you can see the incentive to try and make carbon fibre. You tremendously increase the value of heavy oil,” Tony explained. “The process involves heating the oil, so that is a good use of the natural gas that we have as well. It is not seen as carbon free, but it is a low emissions use of

It will help that industry be sustainable and environmentally friendlier. We want to be less wasteful and build things that last.” The CFGC is part of the Bitumen Beyond Combustion (BBC) program–an initiative by Alberta Innovates to create a multibillion-dollar, value-added industry around the development of non-combustion products and their production technologies, derived
from bitumen contained in Alberta’s oil sands. The oil sands are amongst the world’s largest hydrocarbon resources, with proven reserves of approximately 170 billion barrels and current production of three million barrels per day. At present, most bitumen products are destined for energy generation by combustion (such as gasoline, diesel, and heating oil). BBC diverts bitumen away from combustion but creates advanced value-added products for the future. Continued to page 30

Rare Canada Diesel truck to be restored By Murray Green
A rare 1958 Canada Diesel truck is being restored at Reynolds-Alberta Museum to preserve construction history in this province. The Government of Alberta, with a little help from On Track Kuntz and Company at the Highway 21 and 13 junction, are restoring one of the first diesel trucks in the country. Darren Wiberg of Camrose, with more than 30 years of experience, is the head of the restoration autobody shop at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin. The 1958 Canada Diesel was built by the Canadian Car and Foundry Diesel Division in Longueuil, Quebec. “My job is to order parts and make sure Darren has the resources to do his job,” said Arnie Weisbrot, a volunteer at the museum and former electrical engineer. “I helped by taking the truck apart first. We can’t just take it apart, we have to label everything and where it came from to make it easier to put it back together. With no other model to work from, this was a very important task. I took a picture of every stage.” The truck was donated by Stan Reynolds, the namesake of the museum. “It was one of the last donations he made to us back in 1985 when the museum was just starting up. He purchased it near Fort McMurray and that guy brought it from Grimshaw Trucking, a company that still exists. Grimshaw obtained the truck when they purchased another trucking company called Grey Carriers,” explained Arnie. “The truck was purchased new by Val Grey, the owner of the company. It was used really heavily back then. They basically used it by going from Edmonton to as far north as Yellowknife regularly, and back then the roads were horrible. When it didn’t run anymore, it was parked in the bush.” Originally, Canada Diesel took over from Leyland Motors, a British company that ceased operations in Canada. Then Canada Diesel started, but found it to be a tough heavy-duty market in the late '50s. “The trucks were solidly built, but they didn’t suit the big open spaces of Canada.
HEAVY HAULER
Submitted The four main people working on the project are, from left to right, Darren Wiberg, Pete Friesen, Arnie Weisbrot and Dennis Chance. All but Darren are volunteers.
When Leyland left Canada a couple of employees bought it and named it CanCar, who designed and built this Canada Diesel. This truck was ground-breaking for a couple of reasons. It was a first for CanCar and it was one of the first diesels. The Canada Diesel has a 680 Leyland Motors engine in it. As far as we know, this is the only truck that exists. CanCar only lasted a couple of years and the records were destroyed.” The truck helped Alberta open up the north. “Because the truck is so significant in Alberta’s history, it was scheduled for restoration. It has been a challenge to repair the broken pieces,” said Arnie. “We have repaired the body, we started to paint it and hope to be finished next June.” The museum is working on a piece of history with little to no parts availability. “Darren is building this truck exactly the way it came from the factory—he called it his perfectly flawed machine approach to restoration,” said Arnie. “It’s going to show the same crude spot welds it came with from the factory because these trucks weren’t
built to look pretty,” revealed Arnie, on the cold-hard truth of construction in the '50s. “The truck was sitting in the warehouse for quite some time. It was on the schedule to be restored, but we had to wait for funding to proceed. I wanted to be part of it and help Darren,” explained Arnie. Bondo is not used at all. Darren builds and welds seams the old fashioned way with precise work and a gas welder from the 1920s. He fabricated a new panel and hand formed it into a copy of the factory original. This is painstaking work and the seams take forever to weld because he relies on lower temperature fusion without welding rods—Darren only uses a mig welder when he’s doing a factory spot weld. “The cab was ripped into six pieces and it gave him a huge challenge because he had to make all his welds look like factory spot welds. The roof required a new panel,” added Arnie. The Canada Truck is a combination of parts from the Canadian Car and Foundry and sourced out parts from a variety of suppliers. The engine is coupled to a Spicer
five-speed (two-speed axle) in the semi. Engine parts are not hard to find—in other parts of the world, but not Canada. “When we started with the engine it had a great big crack in it. Someone ran a big ugly chunk of weld across the block and it looked awful. We had that repaired. It is now almost invisible. We couldn’t find a fuel injection pump. We
couldn’t fix it or find parts. We found one similar one and took it to three different shops and they couldn’t get it to work. Then we found On Track and a fuel injection technician (Rob Ball) who fixed it. It was amazing and he found parts from totally unrelated pumps. They donated their efforts in support of this restoration.”

Minister Fir visits businesses By Murray Green
Alberta’s Recovery Plan is all about getting people back to work and businesses thriving again. “As part of my tour across Alberta in August and September, I’m trying to visit all of the rural ridings for three reasons. I want to visit tourism spots in our own back yard. It’s a great time to not go out of province and enjoy what this province has to offer. Secondly, is to visit some of our small businesses to see how they are doing, especially those that benefitted from our small and medium-sized business grant and thirdly, to spread the word about Alberta’s Recovery Plan,” explained Tanya Fir, Alberta Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism, during her tour of downtown Camrose on Aug. 15. “I want to listen and engage with people to see how they are dealing with everything (COVID-19 and slow economic times). Camrose already has an outstanding MLA in Jackie Lovely, who represents her constituents well. But, it is good to hear from others as well,” shared Fir. “The grant helped restart our business. We are needed because we are the only men’s store in this area. The funds were the difference in being closed and opening and operating. You have to pay the suppliers because if you don’t pay them, you don’t get any goods,” said Duff Layton’s Men’s Wear co-owner Dan Olofson. “Businesses were hit hard by COVID-19 and a lot of them, through no fault of their own, had to shut down or significantly had their business curtailed because of COVID. We want to try and help businesses get through relaunch and help them survive. The government introduced this grant of up to $5,000. They (business owners) can apply for the grant and the beauty of it is that they are not restricted on how they spend it. They know best where they have to spend it, whether it’s rent, inventory, personal protective equipment or employee wages. Just to hear the difference it made for the businesses gave me goose bumps because that is exactly what the grant was intended for.” MLA Lovely echoed her statements. “I’m so glad minster Fir was able to visit Camrose so early in her tour. I’m excited that she had the opportunity to meet the people and businesses she was trying to help,” added Lovely. “We sell unique brands

We are so grateful to have this opportunity to receive this grant money. It has made re-opening and re-launching, well it has taken the stress out of it. It was a game changer. We were able to bring our staff back on and issue regular hours. It has taken out the stress of this year,” said Bra Necessities owner Kim Lindballe. The Camrose tour also
included Tish’s Fashions and Finery, The Lefse House, Retro Pool and Billiard Hall, and the Lakehouse Natural Soap Company. The minister not only toured downtown Camrose, but was able to join rural residents at Round Hill during Alberta Open farm Days. “I just want to say what a great day it has been. I grew up in a small town, so when I visit rural areas it just feels like home to me. It’s the small towns (and cities) that make Alberta what it is. I free lucky to be able to visit places within Alberta this summer,” said minister Fir.

Restless summer soul
I have what I think of as a restless summer soul. I try to be either packing for a trip, unpacking from a trip, or planning for my next trip. For some reason, being at home in the summer makes me feel restless. It is beautiful here in the country in the summer. At the start of summer, we often watch as owls teach their owlets to fly in our backyard. The flowers are in bloom, the garden is doing well with the corn and sunflower faces stretching so tall…and yet, I have this itch to leave. The wheat crop beside our house is fading from a butter yellow to a golden hue. The red and orange dragonflies have eaten most of the mosquitoes…and yet, I have this urge to pack up and get into the wild. At one point this summer, we came home from 10 days of camping. I quickly put the final touches on a milestone birthday party for my dad; the day after the party, I started copious loads of laundry from the holiday, while at the same time getting the dehydrator going for the next canoe trip. Ahhhh, just how I like things. My husband is quite content to be at home since he is away during the day at work. He seems to think of our home as a calm oasis. That is fine, but to me, home also means work, so to get out of the endless rotation of dishes, cooking and laundry, I like to head into the outdoors. Maybe my restless summer soul this year is more pronounced than usual because of the extra time at home and travel restrictions caused by COVID-19. I do know that the past few months have caused us to rethink how many activities we sign up for this fall (if there are, in fact, any that we can sign up for). This time at home has taught me how much I value time with my family, and that means making changes to how many commitments we have so that we can continue to really see each other. This August, parents are being asked to make hard choices. School boards are wanting to know who is sending their children back for in-person school; who is doing online learning similar to how the school year ended in June; and who is going to be homeschooling and providing their own material. Many families I have talked to have been continually discussing this in their homes, and I am sure that many are still undecided, or willing to change their decision at a moment’s notice. Our family talked about homeschooling, but my children are getting to the age that they have more of a voice in decisions that impact them. They have requested to return to in-person school, and since the virus rates are so low locally, we are planning to go ahead with in-person school. At least, that is our plan right now. Today, I donned a face mask at a business that was mandating them, and my children wore them as well. As we left, one of my sons pulled his off and sent it sailing through the air like a slingshot at his brother. I can only imagine a classroom full of children doing this. Honestly though, none of those school choices really seem right. Wearing masks in the hallways and not going on field trips? That doesn’t seem right. Continue with online school and try to figure out what the teacher is looking for in the assignment? That doesn’t seem right. Begin homeschooling for the first time and try to sign up for groups and make playdates just so your kids can be around other kids as much as they are used to? That doesn’t seem right. Sometimes there is no answer that feels like the right answer. The best we can do is support other parents in whatever choice they make that feels the most right to them. And hope that our children don’t receive too many “masks used as slingshots” injuries.

Cornerstone School preparing for fall term
TIRES. BRAKES. OIL. EVERYTHING.
By Murray Green
Going to school this fall will be different, but Cornerstone Christian Academy (CCA) (located in Kingman) is preparing for new protocols. Cornerstone’s board member Steve Kozmeniuk is optimistic that things will return to normal, despite the social distancing and wearing masks. “We have created a procedure booklet for parents and staff on our protocols on what we are going to do. If the classes are too large for social distancing, we may have to use the gymnasium or other locations in the school for classes. We are trying to spread out the students, and we are doing our best to make things feel normal and safe for the kids” shared Steve. The school’s roughly 106 (last year’s numbers) students come from a wide geographic area, encompassing Tofield, Lindbrook, Ryley, Round Hill, Camrose, Miquelon Lake, Hay Lakes and Armena. “Right now we have about three-quarters or more of the students coming back and the rest are still undecided. We are making parents feel at ease, so more are coming back each day,” said Steve. The board is working hard on how to attract more students. “Our location makes it hard because we rely on busing. That is one of our biggest challenges. But we are creating a school that is worth the drive and that is our focus,” said Steve who lives north of Tofield. “We care for our students and helping them in a safe and caring manner.” Private schools receive less funding compared to public schools. “The parents are pretty good about it. They know fundraising and volunteering are an option and part of the experience. In private schools, parents have more say on what is going on in the schools and that is important.” The accredited private school is accepting fall registrations as they balance between returning students and those who are not ready to leave online learning just yet. “We place a high value on parent involvement, and children are taught the importance of education and respecting others.

Camp Kandu By Lori Larsen
Now that Camrose Association for Community Living Kandu Summer Camp program is over, a group of enthusiastic children can honestly say their summer was that much better because of two very special summer camp leaders, Jena Robbins and Jessica Logan. As the summer camp leaders, Jena and Jessica were responsible for the programming of the actual camps and coordinating with other teams in the community, such as Battle River School Division Mental Health Services. Once the programming was developed, the two camp leaders were then charged with facilitating the programs with the participating children. “We got an early start this summer because of the pandemic,” explained Jessica. “We started with a soft start in June, working with smaller groups.” Jena added that the groups consisted of three to five children from a family cohort and there were four separate groups. “It provided an excellent opportunity to work closely with some of the children and get to know them a little more,” said Jessica. “That way we could tailor programming to what their needs were and where they were at.” The soft start consisted of half days which enabled the participating children a chance to get out of the house and enjoy some fun activities, all the while giving the parents a much deserved break. “Our whole goal this
summer was to give children a place where they felt safe and felt like they belonged, and gave parents a little bit of breathing room,” noted Jessica. Kandu Camp is a notfor-profit camp open to all youth and children, including those with special health and developmental concerns, that has been running under the umbrella of CAFCL for several years. Campers are kept busy doing fun and learning activities with a goal of total inclusiveness. This year the camp included: a splash day, involving some water, a slip and slide, lots of sunshine and lots of giggles; a slime day where the participants were encouraged to get slimy and a visit with some four-legged furry and hairy friends during petting zoo day, along with a host of other fun and engaging activities. But both Jena and Jessica agree that by far one of the favourite activities for the campers was the Whacka-Tag. “Everybody is it in this game,” explained Jessica. “And everyone tags each other below the knee. Once they are tagged they have to sit down and can’t get back up until another person untags them. Some of those kids could play Whacka-Tag all day long.”

Both Jena and Jessica were delighted to be able to work with children and felt the experience was a great asset for their future goals. During her Grade 10 and Grade 11 years Jena worked at the CAFCL Kan-

du camp as a respite worker. “I was able to see how awesome it was and got to know some of the children that actually came back this summer. “It was great being able to work all summer long with them–all day.” And while she admits it was sometimes physically exhausting, working with the youth was very rewarding. “The best part was watching them come in the first day and being kind of shy, not sure of themselves and not wanting to make friends and just stay with their sibling. Then by the end of the camp see how they are just wild and all best friends.” Jena recently attended Red Deer College and will be attending Keyano College in the fall with a goal of becoming a registered nurse. Having experienced some health concerns throughout her post secondary school year, Jessica was unsure what type of summer position she could acquire. “I’d heard so much good about CAFCL and this position, and going into an organization that is tailored to support people with dis-
abilities, I knew I would have the support that is needed to be able to do the best work that I could this year.” The experience for Jessica showed her just how forgiving and resilient children can be and that the simplest things can provide the most entertainment. “I learned if you give them (campers) a pen they will amuse themselves for ever.” A lesson she learned while walking with the children back from camp allowing them to play a life-size version of connect the dot on both herself and Jena. “We were pretty sparkly,” laughed Jessica. Jessica is going into her final year for her Bachelor of Science (biology and kinesiology) at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. “Augustana has been incredible. I don’t think I would be graduating (due to health concerns) if it were not for a small school like Augustana that prioritizes student experience.” She hopes to pursue occupational therapy programs, but is also considering a career in early childhood development. Both Jena and Jessica said how wonderful
a community Camrose is and indicated they would have no problem coming back to pursue their chosen careers, but the next phases in their journeys will be sought elsewhere. As for seeking summer employment next year, they both would love the chance to return as leaders with Kandu Camp. It was plain to see that the two camp leaders worked well together and by their own admittance had a great partnership. “I would have been a mess without Jena,” said Jessica, with Jena responding, “It goes both ways.” Both leaders agreed the weeks went by too fast and they could hardly believe it was over, and commented on just how much fun they had. “It was a blast,” said Jessica adding that it was also rewarding to watch the older children mentor the younger children, which is somewhat ironic coming from one of this dynamic duo, considerably young themselves. They no doubt had great influence on the children they mentored. “We wanted the campers to have a place where they really felt like they belonged,” concluded Jessica.

War Amps keying in By Lori Larsen
With a goal to assist all amputees, the War Amps has been going strong since 1918, when first founded by amputee war veterans returning home from the First World War. One of the War Amps well known initiatives is the Key Tag Service. This years key tags have been sent out to Alberta households through Canada Post mail delivery. Each key tag will contain a confidentially coded number used in the event you should lose the set of keys that you chose to affix to the tag. If you should lose the keys affixed to the tag, anyone who may find them can telephone, tollfree, the number on the back of the tag or place them in any mailbox, and The War Amps will return them to you by courier, free of charge. The War Amps relies on public support. Funding received assists the Key Tag Service, which makes incredible differences in the lives of amputees by providing financial assistance for the cost of artificial limbs, peer support and information on all aspects of living with amputation. If you have not received your key tag in the mail you can order them online at waramps.ca or call tollfree 1-800-250-3030.
Police advise, lock up vehicles Aug. 23
A 23-year-old man was stopped for a traffic violation and was arrested for outstanding warrants out of three separate communities. The man is scheduled to have a bail hearing to determine if he will be released. A local business called in regards to a male causing problems with patrons in the parking lot. Police located an intoxicated 37-year-old man who was asked to leave the property. The male left the business with no further issues. Police attended a residence after a grandmother advised her grandson used her credit card to purchase items online. The youth was spoken to and warned about his actions. A homeowner in the area of 52 Avenue and 44 Street advised sometime overnight his tires and rims were stolen from his vehicle. Police responded to several complaints of vehicles being entered during the night. Police are encouraging citizens to lock their vehicles and take all valuables with them when leaving their vehicle unattended.
Entrepreneur extraordinaire By Lori Larsen
Special Olympics Camrose athlete and entrepreneur, Douglas Bailey, took an idea he had during some downtime from swimming and tending to daily activities and turned it into a fun and profitable business, Pets with Paws. Last year in February, Douglas was one of the many Camrose Special Olympic athletes that represented Special Olympics Alberta, specifically swimming, at the 2019 Provincial Winter Games Special Olympics in Nova Scotia.
its length and be used in emergent situations. From there Douglas branched out to homemade all natural dog treats. “I have five main treats, two are dehydrated and three are more a baked cookie type.” He gets his recipes from a collection of recipe books he has and uses all human grade natural food with no dyes, colours or preservatives. With a mind that apparently never stops, Douglas was quick to move onto the next line in his self-proclaimed “One Stop
stuffed toy dog (that he named Patches, his business mascot) from his bag of wares. Patches was donning a wonderfully handcrafted jacket and bandana which Douglas sewed himself. “My mother taught me to sew last winter.” His craftsmanship was impeccable. Obviously a pet lover, Douglas offered a tip of spraying the bandana or jacket with insect repellent as opposed to spraying it directly on the animal. Next on his plate of

This year, due to COVID-19 much of the Special Olympics events and programs (Camrose) have been postponed and will remain so until 2021. With some extra time on his hands, Douglas expanded his already established business (summer of 2019). “My business is making pet items for multiple different types of pets,” explained Douglas. “I mainly target cats and dogs. “I was looking for something to do so I started making bracelets and key chains (which he still makes and sells as the only unrelated pet items). I wondered how I could expand this and through that I came up with pet collars and leashes.” The collars and leashes are made from paracord, a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. “It is high dense military grade cord and the way I weave it makes it that much stronger.” When weaved it becomes very compact but can be unwoven to extend
Pet Shop” and he began making a variety of pet toys. The most intriguing of which was a tug rope constructed of chew rope. “If it happens that they (the pet) should swallow any fibres it is safe (made out of all natural material no artificial colours or dyes.)” The tug rope is surrounded by dehydrated pieces of sweet potato that the dog can chew on until they reach the toy. Then it’s play time. Douglas also created a tug toy made of cut up strips of fleece blankets that he purchases at the secondhand stores in an effort to be environmentally conscious and use material that may otherwise end up in the landfill. He doesn’t forget his feline friends either, and has developed a line of toys for cats, some stuffed with batting and catnip, as well as a catnip spray that can be used to refresh old toys and give them new appeal. It would appear that Douglas leaves no rock unturned and has expanded even further into pet beds, pet paw balm and pet attire. He gently removed a

Why not do that around Christmas?” Douglas currently sells his line of pet merchandise at farmers’ and public markets in a variety of locales, including Downtown Camrose Farmers’ Market, Ardrossan, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Wetaskiwin and Leduc. “People can also order my products by viewing my website then emailing me.” Douglas is constantly coming up with new ideas and products amidst staying fit and active swimming at Wetaskiwin and Leduc pools and walking dogs, during which time he hands out samples of his treats to other dog walkers. At the end of the interview, Douglas handed over one of his business cards, which he designed with the help of Timothy of Timothy Hudec Company, and attached to the card was a sample of the treats he makes. Not only is he thoughtful but business savvy as well.
Donald Joseph Gozzola It is with great sadness that the family of Donald Joseph Gozzola of Camrose, Alberta announce his passing at the age of 85 years. Don was a Veteran, spending over 25 years serving his country in the Canadian Forces. Born in Ottawa, he joined the Forces at 17 years of age. He met Ruth, the love of his life, while stationed in Winnipeg, where he started his family. His postings included Germany (with the Royal Canadian Artillery Gunners), Gagetown, Petawawa (with the 427 Helicopter Squadron) and finally his retirement in Calgary (with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry). His career allowed him to excel physically, becoming a boxing champion and his dedication to family, even when moving from base to base, allowed him to become involved in coaching little league baseball, hockey and working as a mentor in the Boy Scouts. Don will be lovingly remembered by his children Robin (Rhona), Everett (Donna), Tami and Loni (Kristen); son-in-law Dean (Laurie), daughter-in-law Val Ledingham; grandchildren Allan (Shayna), Kyle, Iain, Jenifer, Lena (Jared), Lance, Adria, Anthony, Jennalee, Alysha, Brook, Tamarra, Tyler, Dallas, Stephanie, Shy-lynn, Alyssa, Alia, Bella, Lucas, Tianna; great-grandchildren Kayla, Taylor, Alivia, Benjamin, Chrissy, Raine, Walter, Dean, Hans, Elsa, Inga, Alyssandra, Anastasia, Acheron, Dawne, Isaac, Esther, Samuel, Liam, Myah, Serena, Lorenzo; greatgreat-grandchildren Lily, Emaleigh. Don was predeceased by his wife of 57 years, Ruth, his son Darrell and grandchildren Mandy and Chad. A private family celebration of life will be held at a later time. Memorial Donations can be made to a charity of your choice.

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.

The GHG emission reduction will be over 120 MT CO2 per year if 30 per cent of the heavy components in three million barrels of bitumen per day are diverted away from combustion assuming 385 kg
CO2 emissions per barrel of bitumen used in combustion. This would be part of Alberta’s contribution to global emission reduction as most of the reduction will occur at the point of consumption.
Cornerstone School preparing for fall term Continued from page 23
“CCA parents choose Cornerstone because it provides an alternative educational environment which emphasizes community, and both social and individual responsibility. Our core values are: empathy (experiencing the thoughts and feelings of others), self control (controlling thoughts, words, and actions), integrity (doing what is right), family (making people feel like family) and perseverance (combining passion and commitment for long term goals). “These are the five things we focus on in all the aspects of our school. We are ready to grow and our passion is students. To watch a student grow over the years is a special thing. One of our strengths is that everyone cares about each other. All students are loved and cared for and treated equally. We want them to be successful in their school years and their future beyond school.” Cornerstone has been in continuous operation since 1986, when a small group of parents felt called to provide the option of non-denominational Christian education in the Camrose area. Cornerstone continues to offer an ECS through Grade 12 Christian program of studies that follows the Alberta curriculum. Classes start this fall, and the school is currently taking registrations. You can visit their website at cornerstonekingman.ca for more information. Parents can call Alan Welde, principal of Cornerstone for more information.
