It’s unfortunate that the pool cannot open with the typical fireworks and fanfare of such an amazing complex, but that’s just the reality of life in 2020. While staff is thrilled to show off the long-awaited shallow pool, the eight-lane training/fitness pool (including recreational diving area), the impressive lazy river, tots’ play area, waterslide, hot tub, steam room and more, they will also be asking for patience from all guests.

Physical distancing will be strictly enforced, mask use is highly recommended until entering the water, pool occupancy will be set at 80 people, and you will be required to arrive at the aquatic centre with your swimsuit under your street clothing. Following your swim, staff will be ensuring a minimum number of guests in the change room at any point in time. Despite the challenges of this COVID-era opening, the new $23 million aquatic centre is well worth experiencing.

Organizations asked to submit a reduced budget The City of Camrose is asking four organizations to prepare for budget reductions for 2021 at the regular council meeting on Sept. 8.

Although council is hoping they will receive more funding from the provincial government, they are being realistic in directing the Camrose Public Library, Canadian Northern Society, Chamber of Commerce and the Camrose Ski Club to submit budgets that are less than last year.

“I think it’s important to ask what plans those organizations have planned first before we commit to a grant,” said councillor Max Lindstrand.

“We need to give these organizations directions,” added councillor Wayne Throndson.

“I’ve told some organizations that they need to determine what reduced services and funding would look like for them,” said councillor Agnes Hoveland.

Organizations are asked to provide services to the City that are governed by a fee for service arrangement where

administration will be entering into discussions regarding the cost of those services for the 2021 and 2022 budget years.

Max Lindstrand

“We want to see budgets with possible reduction of services and we want to see what that looks like. At the end of the day, we want to give administration direction,” added Throndson.

A proposed zero increase, a reduction of five per cent and a reduction of 10 per cent was discussed.

“What we need to see is the impact on services of these reductions,” said councillor Agnes Hoveland.

The Camrose Public Library received $578,000, the Canadian Northern Society agreement was for $31,210, Camrose Chamber of Commerce fee for service is at $49,500 and the Camrose Ski Club fee for service is at $18,000.

Due to the current economic conditions and COVID-19 pandemic, the organizations are asked to provide a summary of the actions that will be taken if public access is minimized and how that would impact the financial results of the organization.

“The current shortterm economic outlook for Alberta is not good. Government debt levels are increasing significantly, unemployment rates are over 10 per cent, overall consumer spending is low, and government emergency funds are scheduled to decrease in the next few months,” said Travis Bouck, manager of financial services in his report.

“Given these factors, residents and businesses within Camrose will likely have a more difficult time paying for essential services.”

Economy changes focus of budgets

By Murray Green

What’s new at Augustana this fall?

Much has changed at Augustana over the last several months. As you are likely aware, in March Canadian Universities, including the University of Alberta, transitioned almost overnight to online and blended learning.

Five months later, we are still dealing with the uncertainty and unpredictability of the pandemic. On top of that, the budget situation at the UniDemetres Tryphonopoulos, versity of Alberta has presentDean, ed Augustana with numerous University of Alberta additional challenges.

Augustana Campus In spite of, and likely as a result of, these challenges, a resilient Augustana community made up of gifted and dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, and supporters continues to perform admirably, has risen to the occasion, and looks forward to a productive and successful academic year.

This fall will see Augustana operating mostly remotely, with approximately 90 students attending classes in person. While the campus will remain closed to the public, there will be approximately 100 students (some of whom will be attending those in-person courses, but others not) living in our residence spaces, which have been organized to address public health safety measures. We have also implemented a number of new processes in our dining hall to ensure that students remain safe by being able, for instance, to physically distance at mealtimes. Although in general, our residences and campus life will look different this year, Augustana’s famed community spirit will continue to flourish.

Because most of our courses will be delivered online, we have also reworked our student services including orientation activities, academic advising, counselling, student success workshops and more to be offered virtually. The Augustana Students’ Association has also been hard at work to ensure virtual programming for our students and continued opportunities for groups and clubs.

Although academic services and campus life programming are integral to a student’s university experience, it is for the academic courses and the prospect of learning and training that students attend post-secondary education programs. Our professors have put in countless hours to transform their courses to be delivered remotely.

Obviously, these courses will be different from those delivered in person. Nonetheless, our instructors have adapted their course to virtual learning by flexing even further those creative and innovative muscles which, prior to the pandemic, had made them both experts in their fields and distinguished teachers in their own right. And along the way, they have discovered and developed exciting, alternative ways to conduct their courses.

For example, instead of pointing out raised hands in a classroom, students will be able to interject through chat in a virtual course platform. Immersive videos, virtual field trips and academic content will help make the experience of virtual learning stimulating and expedient. Guest lecturers will still speak to groups of students, albeit through a screen.

Though it may not be thought to be an ideal mode of delivery, a virtual classroom actually removes many barriers that a guest speaker may otherwise face, including location, travel time, and accommodations. Lectures can now come from anywhere in the world. Likewise, our instructors’ drive and ingenuity will shine through irrespective of whether they are delivering courses in fine arts and humanities, social sciences, kinesiology, sciences and so on.

While we will continue to place an emphasis on inperson learning when public health guidelines permit it, we recognize that remote delivery is the best way to keep our community safe at the current time. And although most campus buildings remain closed, the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is still open, with a number of safety protocols in place. I encourage you to have a look at their website camroselive.ca.

Over the last several months, I have once again been impressed with the Augustana community for its resolve, ingenuity and ability to maintain an excellent student experience as the ultimate goal of our work here. I look forward to the upcoming fall semester, and beyond.

City of Camrose administration has reviewed the approved capital budget and has made some suggested revisions to the capital budget and the longerterm plan, council learned on Sept. 8.

The revisions generally involve delaying projects in relation to the original capital plan in order to ensure that they can be adequately addressed and prioritized as part of the 2021-22 budget discussions.

“Due to the economic uncertainty and the general economic conditions that are present in Alberta, the current year operating deficit could be in excess of $575,000,” said Travis Bouck, city general manager of financial services.

“This gives us an idea which projects have been delayed and could follow under the MSP (stimulus funding), which we have the ability to apply for. The first step is establishing which projects are delayed to 2022 and which ones could be done in 2021 under the MSP.” Projects have been deferred and/or revised in scope. Future funding sources for the projects have been identified, but will be reviewed during budget deliberations and presented with the 2021-30 capital plan.

In the near term, they will have a limited impact on the organization/assets, however, with the projected operational deficit and other economic uncertainties, funding available to proceed, is currently at risk.

Although some of the projects are funded through a reserve, there is a possibility for council to transfer those reserve funds to cover the operational deficit if necessary.

The City of Camrose is budgeting for 2021 and 2022, assuming that current COVID-19 guidance is in place through to Dec. 31, 2022.

In addition to reducing service levels within nonessential services to save

funds and reducing operational costs through staff reductions and/or reductions to hours worked, several operational projects and capital projects were revised in scope or deferred.

Those projects include: • The community services shop expansion–including the connection of the existing shop to City sewer, as well as the extension of the main parks shop to accommodate the needs of the department.

• Roof repairs for reservoirs (north and south), removal of courts on top of the north and south reservoir, repairs to the reservoir roofs and re-landscaping to topsoil and seed. This project has been revised to include the completion of the sport courts in the St. Patrick School yard to offset the loss of the courts on top of the reservoirs (estimated at $46,000).

Council advanced the asphalt refurbishment of the St. Patrick School yard sports courts from the 2021 budget.

• The 51 Avenue water main looping (42 Street to 47 Street) and the installation of new water main along 51 Avenue, between 42 Street (near public works) and 47 Street needs to provide looping of a water network east of downtown.

• Project revised to include 51 Avenue storm sewer upgrades and construction of a new bulk water facility.

• Curling rink roof cricket repairs to alleviate chronic ice dam problems.

• Playground equipment rehabilitation that involves the removal and/ or replacement of existing playground structures due to aging of existing infrastructure.

• Near term focus is on playgrounds in Victoria Park and Edgewood; storm structure upgrades, replacements and/or major restoration of storm ponds and outfall structures around.

• Cul-de-sac entrance sig-

LEGION SUPPORT

nage is in year two of a three-year project to install cul-de-sac (or no exit) signage; replace health and safety vehicle.

• The 48 Avenue eastbound lanes and south service road rehab (65 Street to Comp Road).

This project was adopted as part of the 2021 capital plan with original scope including rehabilitation of eastbound lands and service road on the south side of 48 Avenue between 65 Street and Comp Road. Design will be complete in 2020. Due to economic uncertainty and risk associated with local improvements, this project will be split into two projects.

Traffic signal upgrades were originally not included in capital plan. Council has made two separate motions that commit the City to include three signal installations in the 2021 budget (no funding source identified). These include replacement of lights at the Marler Drive/68 Street signals and upgrading from half to full signals ($300,000) and installing new roadside rectangular rapid flashing beacon signals at 45 Avenue/68 Street ($20,000), installing new roadside rectangular rapid flashing beacon signals at Safeway entrance/68 Street ($20,000).

“I have some concerns about the delay of lights at 68th and Marler. The reason we as council pushed that forward was for safety reasons and I would hate to see that anything traffic related be pushed off until 2022. I think this is a priority,” said councillor Wayne Throndson. “It needs to be a high priority.”

The suggested revisions to the capital budget and long-term plan would result in a reduction in capital expenditures of about $1.3 million in 2020 and in 2021, offset by an increase of about $2.8 million in 2022.

The stimulus funding could be approximately $2.2 million.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion presented its March donations, totalling $16,650, to community groups on Aug. 4, due to COVID-19 restrictions in the spring. Receiving funds were Chad Mitchell, left, on behalf of the Camrose and District Soccer Association, Joy-Anne Murphy of the Camrose and District Children’s Choir and Roxanna Skjonsberg of Centra Cam.

Brave enough to ask for help

By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

On Sept. 10th, World Suicide Prevention Day was acknowledged around the world. As suicide is one of the leading causes of death among adults in our country, it is encouraging to see mental health and wellness becoming a more frequent topic of conversation. Initiatives like the #BellLetsTalk campaign have helped to break the stigma around mental wellness. While these are steps in the right direction, more needs to be done.

With the implications of COVID-19 and the economic struggles we face, there is a great deal of stress on all Canadians, both young and old. With the oil downturn, many jobs have been lost and a lot of folks are struggling to make ends meet, leading to stress at home and in families. Agriculture in our region has had a number of challenging years and with such a short window to harvest crops, along with late nights and early mornings, stresses add up. It is vital to remember that through all the challenges, there is reason to hope. Better times always come, and there are always people who can and want to provide the support you need.

If you are reading this and currently find yourself struggling, know that you are not alone. You carry value and worth, and you deserve dignity and life.

Reaching out to someone when you are struggling requires bravery, but know that bravery’s only requirement is taking a step, even in the midst of fear and uncertainty. Please talk to a friend or family member, or reach out to organizations that have resources to help you and/or your loved ones. A number of examples of resources include National Suicide Prevention Line: 1-833-456-4566; First Nations and Inuit Hope for Wellness line: 1-855-242-3310; Kids Help phone: 1-800-668-6868 and Kids Help Text Service text ‘CONNECT’ to 686868.

If your finances are causing you significant strain, know there is help and people who can assist you to get through the difficult times. If you do not know who to reach out to, contact my office and we will help you get in touch with the right resources.

Further, I want to bring attention to the importance of being a good neighbour. Your care and concern could save a life. Don’t be afraid to ask someone if they really are all right. If you receive the typical “I’m good” and still sense uncertainty, make a point to follow up or ask that person to join you for a cup of coffee. The number of lives saved over a cup of coffee would be an amazing statistic to know.

In conclusion, let’s talk about suicide and its impact on our country, let’s be good neighbours and support those who are going through a tough time, and let’s ensure that mental health and wellness are something we address as a society. Let’s be brave enough to ask for help, brave enough to talk about it, and brave enough to share help and hope to those who desperately need it.

CRE looks to County for support

By Murray Green

Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) executive director Dianne Kohler needs help in getting functions happening at its facilities this fall.

She appeared before Camrose County council seeking support. “We are considered one of seven major agricultural societies in Alberta. COVID-19 has hit us hard. We closed our doors on March 16 and we are still fighting to reopen. Health regulations make it impossible to open at this point. We are fully on board with keeping the community safe, but we also know that we are the safe event experts,” explained Kohler.

Councillor Jack Lyle made a motion passed on Sept. 8 that Camrose County council send a letter to the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Devin Dreeshen, asking that he respond as quickly as possible to the crisis facing Alberta’s Agricultural Societies as they deal with the unforeseen effects of COVID-19, which threaten their survival. That motion was passed.

“The problem we are facing is that we took a 100 per cent loss in revenue.

The prediction from CAFE (Canadian Associations of Fairs and Exhibitions) says one in 10 agricultural societies will not make it through this pandemic, closing their doors permanently. To be realistic, the CRE has two years before we would be in that position,” continued Kohler.

“We made some moves early to divest ourselves of Big Valley Jamboree, which has helped us in this case. The sale of the PPL (Panhandle Productions) building is what we are living on right now with zero revenue coming in.”

COVID-19 has caused

financial hardship for individuals, businesses and community organizations throughout communities across Alberta and Canada.

Federal and provincial governments established rules which, in effect, shuttered many businesses, causing severe loss of income.

Among those significantly affected are agricultural society facilities and operations. “The rural communities that have community halls and facilities are facing a very significate loss.”

There are seven agricultural societies in Camrose County and all are an important part of their communities. All are facing financial challenges because their doors have been closed to the public for months and are only now being given the opportunity to reopen under a confusing and stifling set of Alberta Health Service regulations.

Community halls operated by agricultural societies are frustrated by the lack of realistic guidance by AHS as it relates to issues such as liability, sanitization procedures, contact lists, occupancy levels and if the facility can be rented out to groups or not. Furthermore, the cap on the number of people allowed in a facility is different for casinos and restaurants than it is for agricultural society venues.

The same issues are being experienced by larger, regional agricultural societies, including the CRE. “Our worry now is restarting. We are in Phase 3 of the relaunch, which means we can’t open yet.

The loss of BVJ means the loss of about 25 per cent of our revenue for the year.

Looking forward, if Stage 3 doesn’t get released by next summer and mass gather-

ings are not allowed, BVJ is shut down again, I’m not sure about the future of the CRE. I’m not sure we can survive that.”

The CRE, by virtue of its size and mandate, is attempting to develop programs which will generate income and bring value to participants in these programs.

The CRE is developing a Rural Opportunities Series, set to begin in September, which is aimed at helping to build the community and grow rural businesses in our region and beyond.”

The CRE is a strong, forceful leader in our community, as it works together with the other six agricultural societies in Camrose County and regularly communicates with provincial government departments and their ministers.

“In addition to the important economic and social side of an agricultural society facility is the fact that, often, these facilities are designated as emergency response centres in case of disasters. Closing them only exacerbates the potential for an even deeper emergency if people have nowhere to turn when disaster (like a pandemic) occurs,” added Dianne.

“The good news is that things are still happening.

We are planning a Youth Leadership Program and we had our first meet and greet with 13 very bright minds who are going to work with us.”

The Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) and Agricultural Society began in September 1908. The CRE’s original objectives focused on encouraging improvement in agriculture, horticulture and homemaking, resulting in an improved quality of life for members of the agricultural community.

County outlines projects for upcoming stimulus funding

By Murray Green

The province has indicated to Camrose County that they will be receiving just over $1 million in Municipal Stimulus Funding (MSF) for 2020.

At the regular meeting of council on Sept. 8, administrator Paul King proposed various projects that could follow under the guidelines of the funding agreement.

Councillor Jack Lyle moved that Camrose County Council approve submission of the following Municipal Stimulus Funding projects: Pelican Point Campground and trail upgrades for $100,000, Bawlf grader shed for $180,000, sand and salt pad, and shed for $220,000, and construction of a Central Regional Fire Hall for $529,406.

Discussion resumed about the proposed projects that met the criteria. “If one of the projects comes in under budget, then the funds can be used on one of the projects that may have a shortfall,” pointed out King.

“We looked at other projects such as rebuilding roads and bridges, but we suggested these projects.”

The Bawlf grader shed and upgrades at Pelican Point have been on the backburner for awhile.

The sand and salt pad and the regional fire hall are newer items.

“The Central Fire Hall could be located between Ferintosh, New Norway and Edberg. Instead of purchasing equipment that one fire hall needs, they could share all equipment from all three departments. Both New Norway and Ferintosh are on board with this, however, Edberg is independent and not in favour at this time,” explained King.

The Government of Alberta is providing additional capital infrastructure funding to municipalities to sustain and create local jobs, enhance provincial competitiveness and productivity, position communities to participate in future economic growth, reduce municipal red tape to promote jobcreating private sector investment, municipalities will be required to commit to taking concrete actions to reduce red tape and encourage private sector investment.

Camrose County’s allocation is $1,029,406.

A local government must commit its entire allocation to projects by Oct. 1 in order to be considered for funding. Any remaining funding may be reallocated to other municipalities.

Construction of eligible projects must begin in 2020 or 2021.

Proponents must attest that the project would not go forward this year in the absence of support through the stimulus program.

Projects must not create operational funding requirements for the province, and must not result in municipal tax increases.

All project proposed costs are estimated for application purposes only.

The costs associated with the proposed projects are only estimates.

Priority budgets

Administrator King reported Priority Based Budgeting is a unique and innovative approach being used by local governments across the County.

Cou ncillor Don Gregorwich moved, “That Camrose County council authorize an unbudgeted expenditure of up to $15,000 for consultant services to assist in the implementation of Priority Based Budgeting, with funding to come from the 2020 MSI Operating Funds.”

Based on the fact the province is cutting back on funding, this would give the County councillors a better idea of what ratepayers are looking for in priorities.

Planning will be harder for university students

By Murray Green

It can be frightening enough to make the jump from high school to university, but now with new precautions in effect, it will take even more discipline.

Most universities across the country will be holding virtual classes in the first

semester. Students may feel that they are on their own a little more than they planned.

Going to university or college has clear benefits and students need to continue with their education.

Research shows that a household with at least one

college graduate earns, on average and over decades, about 100 per cent more than a household without a college degree.

Regular classes are hard enough to follow. But what about the importance of lab times? If you find it dull and hard to concen-

trate online and you can’t fully engage in lectures through a screen, that’s some important learning about yourself.

You need to think about whether you are a good candidate for online learning.

If you find online learning hard, it might make

sense to wait a year if you are eager to have an oncampus experience. However, a gap year is not a vacation. Make it a priority to find some work/volunteer work or projects that keep you engaged and busy. If it is close to your chosen field, that is even better.

If you are a returning student, then you are eager to move forward towards your degree. The coronavirus crisis is causing us all to reassess and make new choices based on trade-offs that work for us.

Every learning institution will be changed this fall.

Tuition costs will increase.

Sports and other activities will decline. You may be attending school from your family home, which reduces room and board, but that tuition increase needs to be considered.

Parents may have been hit hard due to layoffs, so extra cash for sending students to university might not be there. Contact your school’s financial aid office and ask them how to apply for more/new aid given your family’s loss of income.

There is plenty of learning and growing that happens outside the classroom.

Some people like to attend university in person to grow into an adult and form lasting bonds with classmates and faculty.

Exercise for a cause, or just because…

I did not grow up with encouragement to exercise.

Jogging was just becoming a thing. My dad’s comment was a large snort.

He said, “I get my exercise being a pallbearer for friends who had a heart attack, while they were jogging.”

The idea of exercise as something that everyone should do was just catching on. In that context, I appreciated two stories about people in my over 70 generation and even older, who are using exercise for more than just their personal health. ***

In August, Liliana Kujundzic, age 75, climbed 3,534-meter Mount Temple, the highest peak in the Lake Louise area. In a story in the Edmonton Journal, she said it took her 12 hours of tough scrambling and some exposed climbing to make an elevation gain of 1,000 metres.

The former pediatric nurse and entrepreneur said, “When the going got tough on Mount Temple, I thought of the children in the 10 inner city schools I am helping through the E4C school lunch program.” Seven years ago, Liliana began mountain climbing in support of the school lunch program. She has now raised nearly $200,000.

Mount Temple was just one more adventure. Back in 2015, she stood on top of Tanzania’s 5,805-metre Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2017, she hiked to Mount Everest’s 5,364-metre South Everett base. In 2018, she was near the 3,954-metre summit of Mount Robson when weather shut down the climb.

“It’s an eye-opener to go to a school to help serve lunch and see how many children are so hungry they come back for seconds and thirds,” she said. She’s now climbed 65 peaks and plans to keep going–for the children and for the sheer exhilaration of the climbs. ***

Another older person–99-year-old Marvin Gord–is also using exercise to raise money for a cause. The military veteran, who served with RCAF in Canada and RAF in England, Italy and Africa in the Second World War, is about two months into his quest to walk one million steps before his 100th birthday on Dec. 31.

His goal is to raise one dollar for each step, or $1,000,000, for Baycrest Health Sciences’ Safeguarding our Seniors (SOS). Gord has had ties to Baycrest through his grandmother, mother and wife. He was inspired by British war veteran Tom Moore, who raised millions by completing laps around his garden with a walker before his 100th birthday.

Since July 1 when his campaign began, Gord has walked more than 484,000 steps and raised about $36,000. He walks about 5.5 km a day, six days a week.

“I was walking all the time with a purpose,” he said, “But the purpose now is to raise as much money as we can for Baycrest.” ***

Here’s a third example of exercise for older people, with thanks to the person who emailed it to me. I’m still chuckling: exercise for people over 50.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a five-pound potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can.

Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you’ll find you can hold this position for just a bit longer.

After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-pound potato bags. Then try 50-pound potato bags and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-pound potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute (I’m at this level).

Then, after you feel confident at this level, put a potato in each bag. ***

Booster banter

Thank you very much for your Booster Banter.

Very funny and uplifting.

Especially at this time of a very adverse situation.

Many people have been affected and your timely jokes are helping.

They have helped me immensely, as I lost my husband of 58 years on April 10.

For this time, I thought I would help out with some jokes that I have picked up through my extensive novel reading. Keep it up!

Sophie Maglione, Killam Editor’s note: Thank you for the positive letter and your appreciated submissions.

Canadian facts

I don’t agree with burning and looting, nor do I want to make any other political statement, but I do want to offer some facts.

Canada has developed a reputation as a friendly and welcoming place for other cultures, but Canada has its own history of slavery. In the 1600s, Canada had over 4,000 slaves, approximately two-thirds of whom were indigenous, while the other third were black. This was not new, because the First Nations had their own indigenous slaves well before Europeans settled here. And, there was, as you say, an underground railroad carrying black slaves north from the US to Canada, but there was also an underground railroad taking slaves out of Canada to safety in the North Eastern states.

Canada had fewer slaves than the southern states for many reasons, including the fact that our climate and terrain does not lend itself to plantation-style farming, but we appear to have offered them the same range of treatment from kindness to brutality that they received south of the border.

We do have many things to be proud of as Canadians–but our behaviour during the days of slavery is probably not one of them. If you doubt this, feel free to read Policing Black Lives in Canada by Robyn Maynard.

Deanne Morrow, Camrose Safe community

Does Mr. Fournier of Sherwood Park really think that the Camrose community is not concerned or cares about COVID-19, or that we

believe we are immune to the crisis? May we remind him that no one in our seniors’ homes has died of COVID-19–to the credit of the staff and residents of those homes who tolerated a lengthy lockdown and only recently admitted visitors.

Unlike the mayors of Calgary and Edmonton, our mayor has not mandated the use of masks in public indoor spaces, but many shoppers in Camrose are voluntarily wearing masks. I doubt that Mr. Fournier was shopping at 7:30 a.m. when many Camrose residents, wearing masks, choose to shop, spending as little time in the stores as possible. He probably did not attend a church service here either, where we are seated two metres apart, wear masks, are prohibited from singing, and enter and exit drenched in hand sanitizer.

At a time when all of us are feeling somewhat vulnerable, we could be adopting a more charitable attitude towards others, rather than criticizing one another.

Gail Schulte, Camrose Thanks, Camrose

For over a quarter of a century, our team of security professionals has been attending to Camrose every summer to help contribute to the success of the Big Valley Jamboree.

We were commonly known as “the red coats” and were largely composed of active and retired law enforcement professionals. We started out in Craven, Saskatchewan, doing security consulting for a local country music festival there.

We were asked to become involved in the BVJ when it relocated to Camrose and have never regretted accepting this invitation.

I am sad to say that once BVJ resumes, our security team will likely not be involved any longer. After spending every August long weekend in Camrose since 1993, it’s finally time for a change.

I will truly miss the many friends I have made during this time. Both the City and the people of Camrose are incredible.

The festival and its security requirements have changed considerably during the past 25 years. However, what remained constant was the exceptional hospitality and assistance from the numerous individuals and businesses that we became reliant upon.

My gratitude towards you is endless. To the countless people and businesses who assisted us, I truly want to offer my thanks.

I especially want to thank Camrose’s emergency service teams for their unbelievable professionalism, dedication and support. Having personally spent 40 years working with emergency service teams from across Canada, I can unequivocally state that your local police, fire and EMS professionals are among the best I’ve ever worked with. They are an incredible group of professionals and serve your community exceedingly well.

To the many emergency service professionals I have had the pleasure to meet and work with, I want to say thank you for your friendships and support. (Even though most of you were not Rider fans, I soon learned to overlook this character flaw.)

Camrose, good luck with continuing to host this world class event in your beautiful city. BVJ is known internationally as a leader in outdoor music festivals and you should all be proud of what you’ve accomplished.

Tom Fulcher, Regina, Saskatchewan Fall sounds

The sounds of fall are coming all around us in our community here in Camrose. COVID-19 sure has changed how we as people carry out the activities in our lives. Churches, as well as other places, are limited when it comes to getting together. There is also fear of the unknown, especially when it comes to universities and public schools reopening this month. I do encourage everyone to wear a mask if you cannot keep six feet apart from people, wash your hands often, and make sure we all support our small businesses here in our fine city.

This is not a time to shop at the online stores like Amazon. So, please shop local and always keep safe as you go about your daily activities.

Continued from page 12 Concerns about Camrose County’s press release on Oil and Gas Assessment Model

I have concerns about the current Camrose County press release on oil and gas assessment. What concerns me is the tone and direction the County has positioned itself in with regards to the changes in assessments. Showing pictures of unplowed roads and road closures due to holes in them unless taxes go up is a very exaggerated example of an, at most, nine per cent budget cut. Why cut the most important services? Instead of trying to scare people into raising residential taxes, the county would better serve their constituents by using their time developing ways they are going to cut excesses and potentially downsize departments that are not vitally essential. Maintaining roads is most important, based on a survey conducted by the County.

Camrose County has increased taxes every year by two or three per cent on average since 2014, while our economy has been in a very bad recession. The County has also increased the number of employees during this time. In the private sector, many have lost their jobs and others have taken pay cuts. Shouldn’t Camrose County be able to cut back and not constantly raise taxes? What concerns me is that the size of government continues to grow, spends more money, and takes a higher percentage from the private sector.

Simple math proves that this will lead to greater eco-

nomic stagnation. By cutting some services, the private sector will grow to fill any void if the service was actually needed.

Alberta has been in recession since 2014 and our unemployment rate in July was at 13.7 per cent.

The energy industry is a major economic driver in our province. When it struggles, everyone else feels it.

The County has stated that oil and gas companies will not reinvest their money back into the communities if taxes are reduced. This statement is misleading for a number of reasons.

Many of these companies are losing money, some are now bankrupt and when companies shut down, it not only affects the local jobs that are lost, but all the other businesses that service and provide for that company and the workers…that affects the entire economy.

It’s not like they are in any position to buy back their own stock. They are fighting to survive. When they thrive, our entire economy thrives. Would the County rather they disappear and get no taxes?

Alberta’s municipal assessments on energy companies are four or five times higher than Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

This has been stated by the provincial government and they are mandating municipalities lower rates on energy companies to a more competitive level.

Energy companies are to fix the roads that they damage and get no extra services from the County. Ember Resources paid around $1.4

news@camrosebooster.com million in County taxes in 2019 and run mainly a dry field, meaning there is very little truck traffic on the roads. So little that the average-sized farmer puts more large vehicle pressure on the roads than they do.

How were the high taxes justified? Shouldn’t taxation represent something provided in return?

The County suggests companies will take the money elsewhere. In response to this, I would ask how does the County know this? Forcing high taxes on a company because the County thinks it is better at reallocating the company’s money discourages business growth. A company located in our County invests heavily through infrastructure, job creation and community facilities. How did Encana get its name on one of our ice arenas in Camrose… they donated a lot of money! Ember Resources also donates money to local fire departments. Our municipal, provincial and federal governments have done a really good job at encouraging energy companies to leave to greener pastures since 2014 (Encana moved its head office to the US).

When the bad times came, governments milked companies too hard through taxation and regulation that they moved to other places out of necessity because it was becoming too hard to do business.

Let’s not forget that all government pensions are reliant on a strong economy.

With the low interest rates, the only way pensions will be viable is if they invest in

stocks, real estate, or the government bails them out with taxpayer money. Stable pensions cannot have a political environment that stifles business because the private sector is what funds them all. It concerns me when governments do things that hurt the very companies and economies that support their wages and pensions. The companies in government employees’ pension funds need to make profits to grow and pay dividends, which will hopefully provide them a stable retirement. I would highly suggest that the County stop raising taxes and cut spending. Being more in line with the economic realities in our province for the past seven years would be the responsible thing to do.

In my conversations with the County, I have been told that they are unable or unwilling to not raise residential taxes. How is it that businesses and households can cut spending, in many cases much more than nine per cent, and still get the most essential things done, but the County cannot, even though taxes have been raised every year throughout a recession?

Airport fuel pricing structure changes

By Murray Green

The City of Camrose council increased the fuel charges at the Camrose Municipal Airport at a regular meeting on Sept. 8.

City manager of engineer services Jeremy Enarson reported that, “The existing markup on municipally sources fuel increases from 23 per cent to 25 per cent. That is broken down to 20 per cent used to offset the operations of the airport and five per cent to be placed into aviation fuel facility reserves.”

The fuel flowage fee for non-municipally sourced fuels will be 20 per cent of the weighted cost price of municipally-sourced AvGas fuel. This fuel flowage fee is for all non-municipally sourced fuel brought on to the airport.

“This summer, we realized that Camrose had one of the lowest fuel prices in Alberta,” Enarson told council.

At a Camrose Airport Commission in August, it was passed to recommend a two per cent increase.

“We purchase enough fuel for the year at once, so the cost stays the same throughout the year, so we don’t have a lot of flexibility.

This allows us more flexibility with reviews quarterly and we can set some funds aside for replacements,” shared Enarson.

The Camrose Airport Commission is a sub-committee of council and one of its duties is to monitor the management, operation and maintenance of the airport and recommended changes in policy to council.

Upgrades were made over the last few years to the fuel dispensing system to solve reoccurring loss of prime in the pumps. The recent modifications should allow the system to operate for another 15 years.

“We are going to send a report and a budget consideration for the replacement of the tanks.”

Replacement values of the fuel system is estimated to be $100,000, based on a recent quote. The value of the fuel reserve (tanks) is estimated to be $50,000 by the end of this year.

The current fuel reserve of five per cent should be able to cover that expense.

This increase should generate about $2,000 each year to go towards future replacements.

How to care for someone with COVID at home

By Murray Green

If you are caring for a person who has been diagnosed with COVID-19, follow this advice to protect yourself and others in the home, as well as those in your community.

According to Alberta Health Services, only one healthy person should provide care.

Do not share personal items with the ill person, such as toothbrushes, towels, bed linen, utensils or electronic devices.

Use a separate bathroom from the ill person if possible. If not possible, the ill person should put the toilet lid down before flushing.

Maintain physical distance from the ill individual as much as possible. If you need to be within two metres of the ill person, wear a mask, disposable gloves and eye protection.

Wear disposable gloves when touching the ill person, their environment and soiled items or surfaces.

Do not reuse masks or gloves. Clean your hands often for at least 20 seconds, especially after contact with the ill person and after removing gloves, masks and eye protection.

Dry your hands with disposable paper towels. If not available, use a reusable towel and replace it when it becomes wet.

Unique Pathways project brings outdoor cheer

By Chantel Beesley The Bethany Group

Memory Lane provides a safe and secured unit for seniors with dementia, including an outside secured garden for residents to enjoy.

Over the years, the garden has seen much activity from hosting pet visits with horses and other farm animals to family visits during the summer months and nice weather. It’s an important space for residents to enjoy and interact with nature.

This summer, Memory Lane benefitted from a special program headed by Augustana Campus student Jaden de Waal. Over the summer of 2020 and during the current restrictions of COVID-19, the campus, the Camrose Public Library and the community came together to enhance the outdoor experience for residents.

The University of Alberta’s program Pathways provides an opportunity for students to complete a summer project in a rural or indigenous community of Alberta. Students design the program and apply for funding to complete during May to August.

Jaden decided to focus on helping residents at Memory Lane by creating an interactive space to connect with their rural backgrounds and enjoy the outside that much more. As she writes in her Pathways to Rural Alberta blog, “The flower beds at Memory Lane are filled with plants such as rhubarb, mint, and strawberries to trigger nostalgic memories. By having these plants that are commonly found in gardens, it allows the residents to have a sense of familiarity in their space.”

With the collaboration of the Camrose Public Library, Jaden created several projects to connect individuals back to place while having participating families and individuals “gain a greater sense of understanding about who lives in their community”.

Craft kits were developed as a way for the community to create something for the residents. Volunteer residents at Rosealta Lodge packed the craft kits for the library. Families were then able to pick up the kits at the library, complete the

project, and return them.

The final product was then placed in the Memory Lane garden.

Another project was the creation of Sensory Garden I-Spy Books that guide residents through the planters and flower beds.

As well, handmade cards and posters are strung up on trees to give words of encouragement.

When not in the garden, Jaden started recruiting six families from Kids Campus and the Camrose Public Library to participate in a pen-pals letter

exchange with residents.

Each week alternated between writing a letter to a resident and receiving one back.

To learn more about the project, including more information and videos, and to see how it benefitted so many, please visit www. thebethanygroup.ca/news.

The staff and residents at Memory Lane and The Bethany Group thank everyone who participated and helped make a positive impact in our residents lives, especially during a pandemic crisis.

The Rose City Curling Club has pushed back the launch of a new season until Nov. 9 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Originally, the club was set to open the facility on Oct. 13, but more time was needed to review and implement procedures and protocols.

Councillor Kevin Hycha asked about other facilities and clubs asking for a reprieve in rent.

“We don’t have ice in the Max McLean Arena at this time with the uncertainty of minor hockey (skating),” Ryan Poole, manager of community services. “The Camrose Kodiaks could be similar, but they rent the ice on an hourly rate. They also pay for office space, which is office, whereas the curling club pays $6,700 in rent that is spread over eight months.”

The curling club asked the City for rent relief for September because of the start delay. Registration deadline for the season has been set for Sept. 20 to allow the club to make decisions on what leagues will operate this fall.

Councillor Wayne Throndson moved to wave the first month of rent and the motion was carried.

For more information on the club, email rccc@ cable-lynx.net or call 780-672-4152.

Join a virtual choir at Augustana

By Murray Green

If you love to sing, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus offers exciting musical opportunities to help get you through the fall and winter months.

Mannskor and Sangkor are the non-auditioned men’s and women’s choirs on the Augustana Campus, open to both members of the community and students.

These choirs explore music from a variety of times, places, and traditions, and gain a basic understanding of vocal and musical concepts. Special emphasis is placed on creating a sense

of supportive community between the members–all music lovers are welcome to sing regardless of musical background.

The choirs are led by Dr. John Wiebe, a dynamic and award-winning conductor and the director of Choral Activities at Augustana.

What’s it like to sing in a Virtual Choir? This year, due to COVID restrictions, the choirs will be meeting remotely. Participants will use provided learning tracks to rehearse the music on their own time, and then join the group

for live Zoom rehearsals.

The rehearsals will include creative vocal warm-ups and technique, exploration of the history and context of the music, guest conductors and composers, repertoire rehearsal, and social time.

Mannskor meets on Mondays, from 7:30 to 9 p.m., starting Sept. 21.

Sangkor meets on Thursdays from 7:30 to 9 p.m., starting Sept. 24.

For more information, contact Dr. John Wiebe at jhwiebe@ualberta.ca, 780994-6539.

World Suicide Prevention Week

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

It’s nice to hear the hum of the combines as I drive through the Camrose Constituency.

I was fortunate to drive throughout the region to collaborate with regional stakeholders for World Suicide Prevention Week.

Special thank you to Katherine Gagnon, community health facilitator for AHS; Dawn Chrystian, director Viking/Beaver; and Tracey Boast-Radley, director Tofield/Ryley/Beaver West; for the assistance in coordinating.

I travelled to Daysland, Killam, Sedgewick, Alliance, Tofield and Viking to present with community members focusing on mental health.

The community members who joined me were Lynne Jenkinson, Kimberley Bonnet, Pastor Ben Kellert, Brenda Chehade, Kevin Smook, Pastor Andringa of Tofield Alliance Church, Karlana Noel, Jaylynn Umphrey, Alvin Sorenson, Dale Pederson, Kari Cameron, Gary Hafso and Christpher Purvis. Please forgive me if I missed your name. Thank you to all of you for taking the time to speak at the events as your involvement is greatly appreciated.

There are many people who want to help. Taking care of your own mental wellness is vital. Things like taking up a new hobby, exercising, spending time with friends, or joining an adult recreational league can all contribute to positive mental wellness.

I grew up in a remote rural setting where the community hall was the centre of activity. That hall hosted dances, showers and all the fun events our community enjoyed. The sense of community allowed for a sentiment of togetherness for each other in times of difficulty.

There are many heartbreaking statistics about suicide in Alberta. More Albertans die of suicide every year than die in motor vehicle collisions and this is unacceptable. The simple truth is that every single suicide death is a tragedy that leaves broken hearts and broken lives in its wake.

Our society has made progress to bring awareness to mental health and suicide awareness. Dedicated weeks like Suicide Prevention Week and days like Let’s Talk Day are bringing mental wellness to the forefront.

Social media has been a huge tool to help bring awareness to the topic, as well as organizations such as Kids Help Phone and the Canadian Mental Health Association. These organizations can use their platforms to push out their positive messaging. On the other hand, social media has the ability to be detrimental for mental health, causing online bullying among youth to be a huge issue in our society. If you have children, it’s important to monitor their social media activity to ensure negativity is not happening as many young people have been victim to unacceptable behavior.

Alberta’s government has also recognized the importance of mental health throughout the province.

A whole ministry is dedicated to the subject as my colleague Minister Jason Luan is the Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addiction. In April, our government boosted mental health funding by $53 million to recognize people’s struggles during COVID-19.

I am so passionate about this subject that I meet with Minister Luan regularly to ensure Camrose Constituency residents are getting the supports they deserve.

I want take this occasion to remember those we have lost and those who grieve them. This is a fight to save lives. Asking and talking about suicide are the first step to prevention.

If you are having thoughts of suicide, or are worried for a loved one, you are not alone. There is help. Call 811, day or night, seven days a week, or go online to ahs.ca/ preventingsuicide. You matter.

You can contact Jackie Lovely, Camrose MLA, at the Constituency Office, 104, 4870-51 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1S1. Tel: 780-672-0000, camrose@assembly. ab.ca or at Legislature Office, 6th Floor, 9820-107 Street, Edmonton, AB T5K 1E7.

Provincial Court reopens some circuit courts

By Lori Larsen

Provincial Court Chief Judge Redman recently announced that the Provincial Court of Alberta entered its Final Resumption Stage on Sept. 8 with most circuit courthouses beginning reopening for in-person and remote hearings.

All participants, including counsel, witnesses, and accused persons, are encouraged to consult the Provincial Court of Alberta COVID-19 Information Page (www.albertacourts.ca/pc/ resources/covid) or contact the base point associated with their circuit point in

advance of their scheduled appearance date to confirm that the circuit point is open and operational as intended.

The courts continue to take advantage of the remote options established in the last few months to improve access to justice and to ensure safety of all participants. In particular, criminal dockets will continue to be remote in most locations.

Updated individual protocols for the different regions are being posted under the corresponding area of the COVID-19 Information Page and include,

HARVEST SEASON

Battle River Schools focus on safety

By Lori Larsen

Battle River School Division (BRSD) has a clear goal to ensure students and staff remain safe and healthy.

In conjunction with all Alberta Health protocols and guidelines for the return to the classrooms, BRSD schools are clean, disinfected, sanitized and ready.

School staff are designating specific entrances for specific cohorts of students, marking hallways or common areas with tape to help students remember their physical distancing, putting up signage, setting out hand sanitizer and more.

More than 100,000 disposable masks have been purchased in order to have ongoing supplies available for staff use to supplement what Alberta Education is providing, as well as for emergency use by students.

The Alberta Government is supplying approximately 10,000 reusable masks (two per school staff member and two per student in Grades 4 to 12) and also a quantity of face shields for staff.

Although Kindergarten to Grade 3 students (inclu-

sive) are not required to use masks, it is strongly recommended.

BRSD has also purchased and installed 370 wall-mount hand sanitizer dispensers, 20 pedestal hand sanitizer dispensers, 1,900 hand sanitizer dispenser refill cartridges, 3,000 pump bottles of hand sanitizer and the Alberta Government is providing a stock of hand sanitizer.

To maintain a high degree of disinfection, BRSD has purchased: 220 cans of aerosol disinfectant, 1,000 microfibre cloths for classroom use, 1,000 spray bottles of disinfectant for classroom/office use and supplies to make 560 tubs of disinfecting wipes for buses and high needs classrooms.

As well, BRSD is retrofitting water fountains in several schools so that every school is equipped with a water bottle filling station.

Water fountain spouts will be out of service.

To cover the extra cleaning and sanitizing duties required, BRSD is adding three hours of custodian time to every school, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

To ensure the utmost safety when students are

The automotive section of

Harmider’s Monaco features styling, power

By Murray Green

Ron Harmider of Camrose County owns a 1968 Dodge Monaco 500 he loves to drive.

“I bought this car brand new and it is all original and nothing has been done to it. It even has the original spare tire in it,” said Ron. “It only has 62,000 miles on it and it has never seen snow. I have always had another vehicle to drive in the winter. I had a four-wheel-drive truck, so I just never drove it in the winter. I didn’t start out wanting to preserve it and even thought about trading it in around 1977. I went to the dealership and they offered me $500 for it. I said ‘See you later,’” he laughed. “I have kept it ever since.”

The Dodge Monaco is an automobile that was marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler Corporation. Introduced as the flagship of the Dodge product line, the Monaco was introduced for 1965 to replace the Custom 880, later superseding the Polara model line.

The dealership’s loss is now Ron’s gain. “I’m sure glad that I still have it. The attraction to the car was the 440 engine that came with it. I wanted the bigger motor and the new dealer in Camrose gave me a good deal on my other car.”

FACTORY ORDERED

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Ron Harmider ordered his 1968 Dodge Monaco 500 right from the factory to ensure he received a powerful 440 engine to go along with the sleek design of this classic vehicle.

During its production, the Monaco was offered in multiple body configurations, including two-door and four-door hardtop sedans, four-door sedans, two-door convertibles and station wagons.

FUN FACTS

Changes were minimal for 1968. The Monaco 500 was dropped at the end of the 1968 model year in the United States and at the end of the 1970 model year in Canada. Models came in the four-door wagon, fourdoor sedan, four-door hardtop, two-door hardtop and two-door convertible. Engine choices were a 318 cubic inch (5.2 L) V8, a 383 cubic inch (6.28 L) B V8 and the 440 cubic inch (7.2 L) RB V8.

Four transmissions were offered: the three-speed manual, four-speed manual, two-speed automatic and the three-speed automatic.

The Dodge Monaco was originally intended to compete with the Pontiac Grand Prix model in what came to be known as the personal luxury market.

In Canada, the Monaco name was finally applied for 1967 to all of the premium full-sized Dodge products (sedans, coupes, and station wagons), replacing the Polara 880 at the top of the Dodge line. Taking the Monaco’s place as a premium full-size model was the Monaco 500, which was available only as a two-door hardtop and convertible.

The Monaco may not fit everyone’s definition of a muscle car, but Ron’s Dodge has plenty of power and the styling to go around. It has been cared for all of its life and only 4,568 similar cars were produced.

He purchased the car from the site where the Smitty’s Restaurant is located today.

“I ordered the car from the factory, the same way it is today. I wanted the 440 engine, automatic transmission and tilt steering wheel. I also ordered the colour.”

Although the car may not have a lot of miles on it, it does have some very special memories for him and his wife Donna. “We used this car for our wedding and then for our honeymoon,” said Ron. The car has been good to Ron, so he in turn has taken good care of it. “I’m glad we kept the car and it is certainly still worth more than $500 today.”

For 1967, all full-sized Dodges, the Monaco included, received a significant facelift with all-new exterior sheet metal.

Chief designer Elwood Engel’s work featured generally flat body planes with sharp-edged accent lines.

The hardtop coupes got a

new semi-fastback roofline with a reverse-slanted trailing edge on the rear quarter window.

In Canada, the Monaco name was applied for 1967 to all of the premium fullsized Dodge cars, replac-

ing the Polara 880 at the top of the Dodge line. Taking the Monaco’s place as a premium full-size model was the Monaco 500, which was available only as a two-door hardtop and convertible that year

Prostate cancer awareness month

TIRES. BRAKES. OIL. EVERYTHING.

By Lori Larsen

September is National Prostate Awareness Month and people around the country will be supporting men suffering from or recovering from this form of cancer.

Prostate cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in a man’s prostate gland.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, specifically men older than 65 years of age, and usually grows slowly, taking years to grow large enough to cause any problems.

As with other cancers, treatment for prostate cancer works best when the cancer is found early. Often, prostate cancer that has spread responds to treatment. Experts don’t know specific causes, but they believe that age, family history (genetics) and race affect a man’s chance of getting prostate cancer.

Common symptoms

Prostate cancer usually doesn’t cause symptoms in its early stages. Most men don’t know they have it until it is found during a regular medical examination.

When problems are noticed, they are most often problems with urinating, but these same symptoms can also be caused by an enlarged prostate which is common in older men.

If you exhibit any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention from your healthcare provider.

Urinary problems, such as: not being able to urinate at all; having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine; having to urinate often, especially at night; having pain or burning during urination; difficulty having an erection; having blood in urine or semen; or experiencing deep and frequent pain in the lower back, belly, hip, or pelvis.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society website, every day in Canada approximately 64 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, which equates to one in nine Canadian men, and 11 men will die from the disease.

If detected early, the survival rate is close to 100 per cent; if detected late, three out of four men will die.

Research and education is key in not only preventing, but detecting and treating all forms of cancer.

The PSA test is a blood test that measures the amount of PSA in the blood.

Higher levels of PSA should not be an immediate cause for alarm. It may indicate

September, Arthritis Awareness

By Lori Larsen

Arthritis can be a crippling disease that affects the everyday lives of one in five Canadians.

Join others in bringing about awareness and helping to advance research and treatment options during September, National Arthritis Awareness Month.

As Canada’s most prevalent chronic health condition for which there is no cure, arthritis can strike any person at any age and stays for life.

There are over 100 different types of arthritis, the majority of which are inflammatory arthritis (like rheumatoid arthritis, childhood arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and gout) and the most common form, osteoarthritis.

Fibromyalgia has similar symptoms to arthritis.

The disease causes painful inflammation and stiffness in joints, resulting in limited mobility for the sufferers. If left untreated, it can cause permanent joint damage and/or changes.

Some types of arthritis can affect the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys and even the skin.

Arthritis is mainly a disease of the spine, hip,

hand, knee and foot. But it can happen in other joints (where two bones connect) as well.

Causes Normal wear and tear on the cartilage of joints can lead to arthritis. Cartilage is the cushioning tissue that covers and protects the ends of the bones where they meet to form a joint. Once that cartilage breaks down, the bones rub together causing damage and pain.

While it is not absolute as to why this breakdown in cartilage occurs, aging, joint injury, being overweight and genetics play significant roles.

Symptoms The following are some of the symptoms that may accompany arthritis.

• Aches and pains that may feel burning or sharp.

• Stiffness in the joints and difficulty getting up out of bed or from a sitting position.

• Muscle weakness around the joint, specifically in knee joints.

• Joints may begin to look like they are the wrong shape or deformed, especially as arthritis gets worse.

• Reduced range of motion and loss of use of the joint. As arthritis

worsens, it may be more difficult to fully bend, flex, or extend joints, or they may become incapable of moving at all.

• Cracking and creaking noises coming from joints.

Getting diagnosed Upon seeking medical attention from your health care provider, they will first determine that the pain is not associated with another problem, such as an injury.

If your joints are tender and swollen and the muscles are weak, this will help your doctor confirm whether you have arthritis. Your health care provider may also suggest X-rays to check your joints for damage or do blood tests or other tests to see if there are other causes for your pain.

Treatment While there are many treatments for arthritis, it is best to work with your health care provider to determine the best method(s) for you.

Treatment may include: pain medicine which may consist of overthe-counter pain medicines or, for more severe cases, shots of medicine directly into the joint; or heat or ice on the painful joint.

Losing weight and regular exercise to strengthen your muscles helps reduce stress on your joints. Swimming, biking and walking are good activities. Always consult with your health care provider before taking on a new activity to ensure it is the best fit for you. Physiotherapy and/ or surgery may also be recommended by your health care provider.

There are at-home devises such as doorknob

covers and jar lid openers which make it easier to perform daily activities, or sports tape, braces, splints and canes that may help.

Also, consider some of the activities you do on a daily basis and if there is an easier way to perform them, such as exchanging machine sewing for hand sewing.

For more information, contact your family health provider, visit arthritis.ca, or call Health Link at 811.

Arlene Carol Person March 15, 1934 ~ September 8, 2020 Arlene Carol Skaret was born on March 15, 1934 in Camrose to William and Margaret Skaret and was a middle sister to her brothers Herb and Rodney. Like many, she was especially proud of her Armena/Skaret roots, and was known by a few of us to recite often, “My name is Arlena and I come from Armena!”

Mom was only three years old when her father William died of influenza, a time we feel she carried with her from which she never fully healed.

She often shared her memories of that time and was so deeply grateful for her brothers and extended Skaret family.

Mom was seven when her mother Margaret married her dad, our grandpa, Martin Hendrickson.

Mom cherished her childhood memories in Armena – shared with friends and her Skaret cousins.

She reminisced of farm life, walks to school with her lifelong friend Lois Aspenes, the fun of family reunions and ball tournaments.

It was while Mom was a student at Camrose Lutheran College that she met Alver Person, the handsome basketball coach and the love of her life. They were married at Armena in 1959, and shared 52 years together.

Life was never dull with Arlene as a mom. She had a zest for life and determination that is hard to describe. Let’s just say she dove right in! There is no one who could make us laugh to tears quite like Mom! Summers were spent at Hastings Lake Lutheran Bible Camp, family camping trips to Radium Hot Springs and the Okanagan with cousins and friends. We shared a family trip to Scandinavia, visiting the Skaret and Person homesteads. Mom and Dad returned for a few trips on their own as well.

Mom enjoyed many ski trips to Sunshine Mountain with her female cousins, along with numerous family ski trips to Banff and Jasper. Her skiing adventures came to an end in her late 60s after zipping down the mountain in true Arlene fashion, resulting in a fractured pelvis – something Mom was rather disgusted about! She loved her golfing days as well, taking part in weekly ladies’ day and tournaments. Mom was very passionate about community and church services, on her own and together with Dad. Mom was blessed with a rich circle of friends, with some of whom she gathered for a weekly prayer group for many years, five of them still gather today. Daughter Kathy recalls Mom saying to her the night before she was married how important it was to not neglect her female friendships – a message for which Kathy is forever grateful.

After selling Burgar Funeral Home and in their retirement, Mom and Dad enjoyed winters in Arizona, their little cabin on the Person farm, travels with her brother Herb and Doris, times in Hawaii with the Osness’, hosting numerous dinner and coffee parties, and special family times at Herb and Doris’ cabin. Her grandchildren were a source of joy and adventure. It was years later that the kids confessed some of their memories of when Nana was in charge. Just for fun and because she could, she suggested they ride in the trunk while she drove, giving them each a flashlight, all the while, little Anna was steering while sitting on Nana’s lap – one of many Nana moments, often ending with the words, “We won’t tell your parents!”

Mom loved deeply. She experienced times of great joy and, along with this, times of deep sadness and personal struggle. A paradox that we now feel was simply her way and part of her journey.

Her seven years at Louise Jensen Care Centre were truly peaceful. The staff often spoke of her humour, love of singing and humming, especially ‘Jesus Loves Me’ and ‘You Are My Sunshine’.

Her faith was paramount to her and this was always present.

Arlene passed away so very peacefully on September 8, 2020, at the age of 86 years.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Kathy (Steve) Haugen and John (Carmen) Person; her three grandchildren Hans (Nancy) Haugen, Luke Haugen (Alyssa Olstad), Anna (Harry) Tribble; and one great-grandchild David; all of Camrose. She is also survived by her two sisters-in-law Doris Skaret of Camrose and Carol Skaret of Armena; nieces and nephews Deb, Warren, Todd, Denise and Chad, along with their spouses and children.

Mom was predeceased by her husband Alver; parents William and Margaret Skaret; stepdad Martin Hendrickson; and brothers Herbert and Rodney, whom she loved so very much.

Due to the unfortunate reality of COVID-19, we appreciate your understanding that a private family time of remembrance and celebration of Arlene’s life was held. Interment has taken place in the Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

If friends so desire, memorial contributions may be made to The Bethany Group, 4612-53 Street, Camrose AB T4V 1Y6 or to the Canadian Dementia Action Network (c/o Davis LLP Suite 2800, Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6C 2Z7).

Karen Cecilie Johnson (nee Holm) April 24, 1928 ~ September 7, 2020

It is with sadness and deep love that we announce the death of our Mom. Karen “Kajsa” Cecilie Johnson of Camrose, AB, formerly of Hay Lakes, AB, passed away on Monday, September 7, 2020, at the age of 92 years.

Karen was born in Preeceville, Saskatchewan to Danish parents Agnes and Thorvald Holm. She married Neil after corresponding with him during the war. Neil was a CN Railroad employee starting as a station agent in small towns of Manitoba, and the family lived in many different places, eventually moving to a farm near Hay Lakes. After Neil’s passing, Karen then moved into Camrose.

Her family was always her main concern, but she also had many interests such as reading, quilting, and cheering on her favourite teams. She was able to discuss politics, philosophy, religion, current affairs, and was an unbeatable Scrabble player. She played with her kids, and would often sit at the piano to accompany her daughter on the violin or the children singing. We have many warm memories of the times at the cabin on Okanagan Lake. She was much loved and respected by all who knew her. A special thanks to the staff of Seasons Camrose and St. Mary’s Hospital for their excellent care.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Bryan (Brenda) Johnson of Hay Lakes, Dana Johnson of Nova Scotia, Sue Johnson (Lee Keating) of Nova Scotia, Kevin (Ann) Johnson of Calgary, Wendy (Alastair) Grant of Stony Plain, and Mary Ellen (Hermann) Koehler of Germany; sixteen grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren.

Karen was predeceased by her husband Neil; son Eric; sister Aggie; and brother Thor.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation, St. Joseph’s Lutheran Church, Hay Lakes, or to the Anatomical Gifts Program, University of Alberta Hospital.

Mary Jean MacDonald Brimacombe Scullion January 19, 1918 ~ September 3, 2020 Jean was born in Rosalind, Alberta, on January 19, 1918, to Fred and Margaret (Weller) MacDonald, the second of ten children and the oldest of the six children who lived to adulthood. In 1923, a schoolhouse was moved into Rosalind from George Orr’s farm and a second room was added, enabling Jean to start school. In the summer of 1928, the growing MacDonald family moved into their new home on the corner overlooking main street and the family’s general store. In 1934, Jean moved to Edmonton to complete Grade 12 at St. Mary’s, boarding with the nuns.

From 1935 to 1936, Jean attended Camrose Normal School where she met Geoff Brimacombe. After graduating, she taught at various country schools: Union (near Vermilion), Sawyer (near Rosalind) and Daysland.

On March 25, 1940, Jean and Geoff married in Edmonton.

Inasmuch as Geoff was teaching in Kelsey and Jean in Daysland, they met in Rosalind on weekends, when possible, for the remainder of the school year. Jean and Geoff had six children before leaving Rosalind in 1954. They moved several times over the years: Lethbridge, North Vancouver (where a seventh child was born), and Washington, Florida and California in the United States before returning to Alberta in 1974, and settling in Geoff’s hometown of Vermilion.

Jean and Geoff both returned to teaching and upgraded their education with Jean earning a B.Ed. when she was 61. After retiring in 1984, she and Geoff began wintering in Yuma, AZ. Following Geoff’s death in 1985, Jean moved to Camrose to be near her mother. In Yuma, she met David Scullion and they married on September 27, 1989. They continued to winter in Yuma and spent summers in Chilliwack, BC, near David’s family. Following David’s death in 2003, Jean moved to Comox to be closer to her daughter, Margaret. She ended up living next door to her nephew Ken (Carol) MacDonald and enjoying many happy years.

Jean passed away on September 3, 2020, after a fall and a brief stay in hospital.

She is survived by her sons Neil (Linda) of Seattle, WA, and Dan (Debi) of Scappoose, OR; daughters Judy (Ed Zilberts) of Walnut Creek, CA, and Margaret (Dave McKeown) of Merville, BC; daughters-in-law Carol of Victoria, BC, Meg of Buderim, Queensland, Australia, and Pat of Walnut, CA; brother Gordon (Adeline); and sister-in-law Karen of Camrose, AB. She adored her 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, lighting up whenever the scattered family gathered, which was often. Extended family and friends, including many nieces, nephews, and cousins, remained important to her throughout her life.

Jean was predeceased by her husbands Geoff Brimacombe and David Scullion; sons Ron, Keith and Ted Brimacombe; great-grandson Ryan Brimacombe; parents Fred and Margaret MacDonald; and eight siblings.

Jean will always be remembered for her warmth and kindness, positive outlook, steadfast love and support of her family, and her strong faith.

Due to Alberta Health Regulations, a private family service will be held. Interment will take place at the St. Elizabeth Roman Catholic Cemetery, Rosalind.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Mary Jean’s memory may be made to W.F. MacDonald Family Fund c/o the Battle River Community Foundation, or to Cystic Fibrosis Canada. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Left to cherish her memory are her three daughters Judy, Pat and Mary; seven grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. Joyce was predeceased by her husband Frank; parents; siblings; two brothers-in-law; and one grandson.

Joyce was born in Roslyn, Washington, where her dad was working in the coal mines. She was raised in Lougheed, AB, where she was spoiled by her three brothers Melvin, Cliff, and John.

While living in Lougheed, she ran the telephone office. When she moved to Camrose, she worked at an agricultural office.

Music was her passion and she played the piano from an early age. She’ll be remembered by Marge Osborne, The Rebeccas (joined in 1945) and she played at many hall parties with the Sweet Adelines, and Probus, etc. … wherever there was a piano!

Joyce was a feisty and fun gal. She enjoyed politics and was the first Alderwoman in Camrose. Her name is proudly displayed on a plaque by Mirror Lake. Anyone who met her has great stories to remember and tell.

Special thanks to Pam and Yves Chaltwell, Youville Care Centre and Dr. LaBuick. Love you, Mom, Grandma, Granny, Nana and Great-Gran. Teen Burgers and Oh Henry! Bars all around!

A private family service has taken place and interment has taken place at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Camrose Women’s Shelter.

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.

Well maintained mobile home

The first five days after the weekend are always the hardest.

Can’t believe it’s already September. It literally feels like it was March just sixteen years ago.

It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.

If we shouldn’t eat at night, why is there a light inside the fridge?

I’m adding “Showed up at work during the apocalypse” to my resumé.

May you live to be so old that your driving terrifies people.

By Lori Larsen

Enjoy the freedom of home ownership and having a place to call your very own with this beautifully maintained mobile home.

With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this home offers plenty of space for a family starting out or is a great opportunity for a homeowner to share costs with a roommate.

The home is located close to schools, playgrounds and downtown amenities.

As you enter the home, you will be impressed by the wide open concept, vaulted ceilings and bright airy living room/kitchen with dining area combination.

A corner gas fireplace adds character to the living room and offers a cozy place to curl up on cooler evenings.

The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and counter space for food preparation and there is more storage available in the pantry. The large centre island is

perfect for placing a couple of bar stools and enjoying breakfast or a place for children to do homework while dinner is being prepared. An overhead skylight floods the area with warm sunlight.

A patio door leads outside where you can sit and enjoy the great outdoors.

The master suite has a walk-in closet and private four-piece en suite.

Two more good-sized bedrooms, one with a walk-in closet, and main fourpiece bathroom means lots of room and privacy for everyone.

A spacious laundry area means all the conveniences are at your fingertips.

Become your own landlord with this very well maintained mobile home property located at 4803-55 Avenue, priced at $154,800. For more information, contact Al-Karim (Al) Mohamed at: Central Agencies Realty 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 Cell 587-322-5511

2020 as a math problem: If you’re going down a river at two miles per hour and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to reshingle a roof?

I dislike people who go to sleep as soon as they close their eyes. It takes me 4 hours, 7 pillow flips, 11 different positions and 3 trips to the bathroom. But then I’m good for three hours.

I heard that you can make ice cubes out of leftover wine, but I’m confused.

What is leftover wine?

Junk: Something you keep for years, then throw away two weeks before you need it.

I made a huge to-do list for today.

I just can’t figure out who’s going to do it.

I want to be a good parent. I just feel like I’m going to need some different kids to work with.

Do men’s ears actually work or are they just for show? Asking for a friend.
