Keeping children well informed By Lori Larsen
Returning to school is stressful at the best of times, but add to it the flurry of emotions that many parents and students are feeling this year due to COVID-19, and the transition is even more challenging. Students, especially younger children, look to parents and trusted adults for answers and often play off their emotions, so it is vital that parents and adults remain calm, stay informed and keep the conversation flowing. Alberta Health Services offer the following tips on how to ensure students are kept informed. Begin by telling them that being safe today will help ensure they can have fun all year long. Let children know it’s okay if they’re sad or scared about COVID-19 and accept their feelings without judging. Emotions come and go and, in most cases, these feelings do not last long. Avoid telling children not to worry. The goal is to help your child realistically evaluate risk based on reliable information. Show them healthy ways to deal with stress, such as active living, meditation, regular sleep and healthy eating. They will
learn how to deal with stress by watching and copying what you do. Maintain social connections. If you and your children cannot visit friends or family in person, reach out by phone or video chat. If possible, develop a cohort of up to 15 other people with whom you and your family can visit, without having to maintain two metres of distance. These visits will help maintain your social connections and make you–and those around you–feel less isolated. Correct misinformation and avoid using language that may create stigma and blame others for COVID-19. Let children know that you’re there for them and that they can ask you questions. Focus on how they can protect themselves and others from getting sick. Teach your children ways that they can reduce the spread of germs. Cough or sneeze into a tissue or elbow, and teach them to wash their hands thoroughly and often. Supply them with hand sanitizer for times when they are unable to wash. Keep routines as regular as possible to provide children with a sense of security and safety. Main-
tain regular bedtimes, mealtimes and exercise. Encourage positive thoughts. Talk about the people who are working hard to keep people safe and healthy. Find examples in your community of people doing good things. Find ways to do something kind for others. Check in regularly to ask how your children are doing. Provide comfort, if necessary, and be patient. Remind children and youth to take things day by day if they’re feeling overwhelmed. If even this seems overwhelming, then take things hour by hour. Talk to your healthcare provider if they are struggling. For more information on how to communicate with children, especially during challenging times, visit www.ahs.ca/helpin toughtimes. Because children learn by example, set a good one. Begin by taking care of your own physical and mental well-being. If you find your child is still struggling, talk to your family healthcare provider or call Health Link at 811.

Is this the worst year of your life? It’s personal!
No, actually, 2020 has not been the worst year of my life. Extra challenges for sure, but on a personal level, I’ve had years that were exponentially tougher. How about you? According to surveys conducted in August by Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies, there’s a 50/50 chance that you consider 2020 to be the worst year of your life. Yep, 50 per cent of Albertans and 50 per cent of Canadians said 2020 is the worst year of their lives. However, if you’re under 35, there’s more than a 50 per cent chance that you are finding this the worst year of your life. According to surveys, a total of 56 per cent of 18- to 34-year-old Canadians say this is the worst year of their lives, compared to just 47 per cent of those aged 55 and older. That interested me. I had what I consider to be the worst year of my life when I was just 24 years old. The gift of that year–when it was over–is that, no matter what happens now, I can always remember a time that was worse. I can also remember that my children and I survived that year and eventually even thrived. That perspective is a gift of growing older. Actually, I highly recommend having the worst year of your life when you’re only 24 years old. After that, everything seems easier! ***
Whether or not you think 2020 is the worst year of your life so far, there surely have been surprises. For example, once upon a time in a previous era–way back in February 2020–groups of randomly selected Canadians sat around conference tables in Vancouver, Calgary, Mississauga and Charlottetown. They’d been asked by a polling company to give their predictions for the state of the Canadian economy this year. What did they expect? Basically, they thought it would be a so-so year. They didn’t expect a great year, but it wouldn’t be awful either. Their predictions could be summed up in one word: “Meh.” Hah! If there’s one thing 2020 has not been, it’s “meh”. Starting in January, a passenger plane shot down in Iran, killing all 176 passengers and crew, including 57 Canadians, 13 of them from Edmonton. The pandemic lockdown in March. Videos of unarmed black people being killed by police officers. Riots. Wildfires. Hurricanes and flooding. Economy in the tank. Highest unemployment rate in decades. During the pandemic, back to school and back to work–if you haven’t been laid off permanently… ***
So, what makes a year the “worst” you’ve ever lived? No question that we’re all impacted by the turbulence around us this year. But what makes a year the “best” or “worst” you’ve ever lived is even more impacted by what’s going on in your personal life. The Leger study listed the two most common reasons why you’d consider a year the worst in your life: the death of a loved one, or personal problems like stress, anxiety or uncertainly about the future. A total of 41 per cent of participants listed those as events in “the worst year you’ve ever lived”. Other events in participants’ worst year were divorce or separation, depression, illness of a loved one, personal illness, family problems, job loss, personal accident or an accident for a loved one. We are impacted by turbulence around us, but our best and worst are intimately connected with ourselves and those we care about most. Note to self: Cultivate those relationships with cherished people! ***

Many thanks to those who worked on the new Bawlf and area history book, Today’s Memories, Tomorrow’s Treasures. This updated version, following the publishing of We Came and We Stayed in 1980, is wonderful!. The idea for a second book began with Ron Pederson and Kathleen Tennant. In the spring of 2017, they began to plan and gather together a committee to work on the project. The final result shows so much thought, effort and attention to detail. I know a lot of hard work went into the collecting of all those family stories and memories. I was personally pleased to see parts of the book dedicated to the early history of Bawlf and area, the farmers, businesspeople and all those whose efforts helped create a vibrant community. Thanks to all who worked so hard on this project. Lanis McClarty, Camrose AISH funding
I’ve just read about thoughts of further cuts to AISH. It actually made my stomach hurt. It hurts to become aware that most of my fellow Albertans apparently feel that, during economic hard times, it is preferable to take money away from the most profoundly vulnerable, by cutting AISH, rather than to take money away from the most financially blessed through perhaps a more progressive taxation system. Most of us in Alberta grew up in an atmosphere of Christian charity. Whatever one’s religious persuasion, all would support charitable behaviour. Can we Albertans not do better than save money by cutting AISH? Marvin Miniely, Camrose Wearing masks
I am writing this in hopes that the people of this community are made aware of the facts surrounding the wearing of masks and what protection they do and do not offer against the spread of infectious diseases. I welcome anyone to check the facts I present for themselves by visiting the OHS website that defines
mask use protocols for various situations. Vented masks: these are designed for use in an environment that is contaminated. They filter the air you breath in and the exhale is not filtered on the way out, it passes directly through the vent port upon exhale. According to health officials, asymptomatic spread of the virus is not uncommon. These are therefore insufficient to contain the virus. Non-vented surgical masks: these are designed for use in a sterile environment, to prevent contaminants from exhaled breath from entering the environment; they do not filter the air being inhaled. They work much like a vacuum bag, which allows air to pass through unfiltered one way, but not the other. This type of mask will not protect you from inhaling the virus from a contaminated environment. These masks also are required to be discarded after a period of 20 to 30 minutes as they are rendered useless by the accumulation of moisture and contaminants. That being said, if you think you may have the virus, you should be staying home. If you are wearing these in public to protect others in case you are asymptomatic, they must be changed regularly and discarded properly in a biohazardous waste control bin. Cloth masks: Cloth masks do neither of these things and provide no help whatsoever. They become contaminated with many types of harmful molds and bacteria due to the moisture accumulation and frequent touching while donning and removing the mask. They are not sufficient to stop the inhale or the exhale of a microbe the size of COVID-19. Taking these facts into account, making it mandatory to wear a mask in public and burdening the community with fines for noncompliance with arbitrary laws is the wrong thing to do. May our elected leaders lead with facts. And may we, the citizens of our community, educate ourselves with more sources than the mainstream news. In times like these, we need to be caring, support each other and stand together. Let us not allow this horrible situation to create more division among us. Sheisi deJong, Camrose
Canadian facts
A big thank you to our Camrose City councillors who voted in favour of our lawful freedoms–to choose ourselves whether we wear a face covering or not. We live in Canada, yet our CBC reports the same coronavirus news as China or the UN using unscientific and “fake” doctor sources (Dr. Tedros Adhanom). When the “real” doctors from Toronto Sick Children’s Hospital wrote a letter to the health ministers concerning the irreversible “social” damage of mask wearing for children who learn social skills through facial expression, it was ignored; not to mention the physical harm, for it is increasingly dangerous to wear a “dirty” mask, or even wearing one for prolonged periods of time can be fatal. The real doctors say that neither “social distancing” (germs can be airborne for 20 feet) or “mask wearing” or a “vaccine” are a medical remedy, for there are too many different strands for a vaccine to be effective for everyone; maybe it’s like trying to get rid of the common cold, and the world seems to be making it worse with all their “fear” tactics. This whole plandemic (Event 201) has made the rich richer–it is most likely a scamdemic (Bill Gates’ billion dollar vaccine, using aborted baby tissue); in all likelihood, it will give people the coronavirus. It’s time for people to check the resources for themselves, and wake up to the truth of the spread of communism in all of its forms: through Antifa and climate change (see Friends of Science). Canada does not want “Socialist Marxist Communism”, yet it seems Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is doing everything to destroy Canada into a communist dictatorship, like China (China Communist Party CCP), whom he admittedly admires. I suppose our choice in this era is: Communism or Christianity? For 2,000 years, it has been Christianity or “Whatever Evil Work” the devil is able to infiltrate. Tina Kawalilak, Camrose County

A taxi driver reported to Camrose Police Service that a male and female had stolen money from inside his cab and were last seen north of Safeway. Police conducted a search of the area and were able to locate the suspects at
Save-On-Foods where both individuals were arrested. The suspects who both had multiple warrants from other jurisdictions were found to be in possession of stolen ID and quantities of illicit drugs. Both are in custody waiting on a bail hearing.
Staff at an east end business reported a male who was standing in their parking lot for an extended period of time. The male was grossly intoxicated and was unable to find his residence. A family member was contacted to pick up the male.

Restoring balance in Alberta’s workplace By Murray Green
The proposed Restoring Balance in Alberta’s Workplaces Act should support economic recovery, restore balance in the workplace, and get Albertans back to work. If passed, this legislation could save job creators an estimated $100 million per year by reducing red tape from daily operations, helping them keep their doors open, and provide jobs for hard-working Albertans. “Our government was elected on the promise of supporting employee choice and to bring balance back to Alberta’s labour laws. This bill will do just that and will also help businesses save time and money, letting them focus on getting Albertans back to work while protecting workers,” said Jason Copping, Alberta Minister of Labour and Immigration. Bill 32 should provide employees and employers with clearer and more transparent rules promoting fairness and productivity, including more clarity about rest periods and temporary layoff notices. “As businesses reopen, we need to support our job creators. We told Albertans we would get them back to work and make it easier to do business in Alberta. That’s exactly what we’re doing by cutting this unneeded red tape,” added Grant Hunter, associate minister of Red Tape Reduction. “Alberta Construction Association applauds the Government of Alberta for introducing greater flexibility and reduced red tape in averaging agreements, hours of work, and temporary layoffs. Changes to these employment standards support seasonal, remote project-based construction jobs, while maintaining fairness in the workplace,” said Frederick Vine, chairman, Alberta Construction Association. “Merit Contractors Association congratulates the Government of Alberta for returning balance to employers and their employees though revisions to the Labour Relations Code and Employment Standards Act. These positive changes send a message to investors and job creators that Alberta is open for business,” said Malcolm Kirkland, president and chief executive officer, Merit Contractors Association and a Camrose resident. To help inform these proposed changes, 5,421 responses were received during an online public survey conducted in November 2019.
Break out the cookie puffs
I don’t do September well. After two months of extended time with my kids (this time, six months), it is always with a heavy heart that I drop them off at school. The first day of school this year, my husband sent me a text in the morning. It didn’t ask how drop-off had gone, because he knew the kids would be fine. What he wanted to know was, how was I doing? He knows. I had been instructed by a friend that the very first step when returning home after dropping children off and the house seems unbearably quiet, is to turn on the music. Apparently Jewel and Cat Stevens are kind of a downer though, so I am going to need to find some new music or things are going to get pretty weepy around here. I told my husband that I was fine. So far, I had: run a few errands, enjoyed an impromptu tea on my sister-inlaw’s patio, tidied the front closet, eaten four cookie puffs (my comfort food of choice), had a little cry, and gone for a run in the pasture with our dog Shadow. Because this year, things are a little different: all three children are now in school full time. It’s one of those new eras in life that you know will come eventually, and all of a sudden, wham, it is here. I want my kids to become independent one day and this is one step towards that. But let’s just say that I’m not going to get to a point where I “stop cooking with cheese” to get them to move out like a TV commercial used to say, or start buying them toasters and other mini appliances when they are 12 to prepare them for the day that they move out. A few years ago on one of the first days of school, I got out plates for lunch and burst into tears because I had brought down too many plates. I just miss those little people! I thought I was doing better than other years–after all, so far I have bought only one back-to-school shirt (um, I mean for myself). Then the other day, I was in the entrance way of a store and the Winnie-the-Pooh ride was running, with the Winnie-the-Pooh song playing. I halted in my tracks and got a lump in my throat because I could suddenly picture my two little boys sitting on that ride together, with huge grins spread across their little faces. I have gotten used to having my kids with me while I grocery shop. I ask them questions about what they think we should buy. (Peaches or nectarines? Broccoli or asparagus?) It is actually surprisingly hard not to talk out loud about these things now. While I really don’t like wearing masks, I have found one positive about them–I can mumble to myself all I want while I’m shopping and nobody can see my lips moving. (Though my husband suggested I do my ramblings quietly so as to not draw too much attention to myself.) While my heart is feeling heavy during this season, there is still so much to do. My garden needs to be emptied and processed; outside windows washed once harvest is over; spaces to clean out; photo albums to make; walks with friends. My mom and I have gone for a few bike rides on these warm fall days. I thought it would be strange without the kids, but we had a lovely time, stopping on a little hill to eat a snack amongst the red-leafed bushes, cheeks to the sun. It’s a time for new adventures and new projects. I’m excited for the kids and the friendships they are making, the incredible things they have already learned…but I am still sad that the time is drawing to a close where I spend my whole day with them. If you see someone from the Moms’ Masked Mumbling Club, try not to stare…we are still adjusting.

Backyard safety for children is important By Murray Green
laying outside is imporP tant as it helpsa child’s development and well-being. It also provides exercise. Watching your child while they are playing in the backyard is important, because backyards can be full of dangers. You can prevent injuries by making sure the yard is safe for kids. According to Alberta Health Services, falls are the leading cause of playground injuries. Falls from high places and onto hard surfaces can cause serious injuries. Strangulation is the most common cause of playground death. Children are attracted to fire and summer/fall brings an increase in burn injuries from outdoor grills. Almost all trampoline injuries to children involve backyard trampolines. Dangers in the backyard may involve play equipment, swimming pools, barbecues, lawnmowers and poisonings. Proper supervision, safe environments, hazard awareness, and participating in age-appropriate activities all help reduce the risk of injury to children in their own or in someone else’s backyard.
Supervising a child during play can help prevent injury. Supervision is recommended until the child reaches 12 years of age. Always have a responsible person watching young children while they play in the backyard. Watch children play on backyard playgrounds. Be physically near them while they use play equipment or are near or in pools or hot tubs. Stay close enough that you can take action if needed. Stay alert, pay close attention, and anticipate hazards. Make sure all fence gates are self-closing and self-latching. Have a fence separate the play area from the driveway and garage. Block all balcony stairs with gates that self close and lock. Do not use backyard trampolines. Jumping on the trampoline is a high risk activity with the potential for significant injury to children and youth. Alberta Health Services and the Canadian Pediatric Society recommend that parents do not buy or use trampolines at home (including cottages and summer residences) for children and youth. The risk of the trampoline is in the use of the trampoline. P arents may think
that safety nets, most often sold with trampolines to prevent people from falling off, will reduce this risk, but in reality, fewer than 30 per cent of trampoline injuries are caused by children falling off the trampoline.
Check sandboxes regularly to make sure they are in good repair, with no protruding nails or splintered wood. A sandbox cover is recommended, especially if pets roam freely in your neighbourhood. Cover the sandbox
at night. Use lawn sprinklers or water slides only on grass. Make sure the area is free of obstacles and debris. Teach children to slide sitting up and not to walk or run on water slides.

Pool opens to public By Lori Larsen
The ribbon is cut and the long-awaited City of Camrose Aquatic Centre is once again open to the public. On Sept. 18, City of Camrose Deputy Mayor Kevin Hycha declared the pool open during an official ribbon cutting held at 9 a.m. Present for the ceremonies were City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer, councillors PJ Stasko, Max Lindstrand, Wayne Throndson, Agnes Hoveland and David Ofrim, City Community Services general manager Ryan Poole, Aquatic Centre director Marcia Peek and a select number of City and Aquatic Centre staff and a few invited guests. In an effort to ensure safety of guests and social distancing requirements were maintained, those present for the ribbon cutting were kept to a minimum. Peek welcomed invited guests. “We are so excited for this day. We have been waiting for this for a long time, but I think you will agree, it has been worth the wait. We have a beautiful facility.” Peek thanked everyone involved throughout the City and in particular the Aquatic Centre staff for working so hard to ensure the Grand Opening. Deputy Mayor Kevin Hycha spoke on behalf of Mayor Mayer, councillors and City administration, noting that feedback was acquired from City residents to determine what they wanted in a swimming pool. “We gathered all the ideas to meet the needs and design. This $23 million project took just about two years to complete.” Hycha said how the new facility will not only enhance options, but the
Aquatic Centre’s programs as well. He thanked BR2 Architecture (designer) and Clark Builders (contractor) for ensuring the project came in on time and on budget, “After a few revisions. “Opening a recreational facility in the middle of a pandemic is not what we were expecting, but I can honestly say council is proud of our staff for ensuring that everything is safely in place for our users during this time.” Hycha offered shoutouts to the staff of the Aquatic Centre, City staff and multiple businesses and trades that helped to bring the project to fruition. “I also want to thank the public for being patient throughout this process.” Hycha ended the ceremony with a big splash and bigger smile as he took one for the team with an official christening of the waterslide. Users of the pool can expect a bright new facility featuring an eight-lane 25-metre training/fitness pool, a shallow pool, lazy river, tots’ shallow play area, waterslide, steam room and accessible inground hot tub, not to mention upgrades to the change rooms and front lobby area. With the wait over, residents are already responding in a big way to the opening of the new facility. It was fully booked during the weekend of grand opening. For more information on the Aquatic Centre including: COVID-19 guidelines, pool protocol, scheduling and booking a swim and programming, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose. ca/en/living-here/aquaticcentre.aspx?_mid_=898.

Acne awareness month AHS submitted
Did you know that September is Acne Awareness Month in Canada? Acne, or acne vulgaris, is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. Some people call it blackheads, blemishes, whiteheads, pimples or zits. When you have just a few red spots, or pimples, you have a mild form of acne. Severe acne can mean hundreds of pimples that can cover the face, neck, chest and back. Or it can be bigger, solid, red lumps that are painful (cysts). Acne is very common among teenagers. It usually gets better after the teenage years. Some women who never had acne growing up will have it as an adult, often right before their menstrual periods. How you feel about your acne may not be related to how bad it is. Some people who have severe acne are not bothered by it. Others are embarrassed or upset, even though they have only a few pimples. The good news is that there are many good treatments that can help you get acne under control. Acne starts when oil and dead skin cells clog the skin’s pores. If germs get into the pores, the result can be swelling, redness, and pus. For most people, acne starts during the teenage years. This is because hormone changes make the skin oilier after puberty starts. Acne can run in families. If one of your parents had severe acne, you are more likely to have it. Symptoms of acne include whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. These can occur on the face, neck, shoulders, back or chest. Pimples that are large and deep are called cystic lesions. These can be painful if they get infected. They also can scar the skin. To help control acne, keep your skin clean. Avoid skin products that clog your pores. Look for prod-

This can make them worse and can cause scars. If you have just a few pimples to treat, you can get an acne cream without a prescription. Look for one that has adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid. These work best when used just the way the label says. It can take time to get acne under control. But if you haven’t had good results with non-prescription products after trying them for three months, see your doctor. A prescription gel or skin cream may be all you need. If you are a woman, taking certain birth control pills may help. If you have acne cysts, your doctor may suggest a stronger medicine, such as isotretinoin. This medicine works very well for some kinds of acne.

The Bailey Theatre is set for reopening in midOctober. The theatre has been closed since March due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns. “After 10 years of being open, it was time to fix some things up, so that is what we have been doing. We are moving forward with a relaunch in mid-October. We are now lining up events, both that we sponsor and those from other organizations such as the Rose City Roots Music Society,” said Barb Stroh, vice-president of the Bailey Theatre Society. “We are trying to book Juno award-winning performer Celeigh Cardinal as one of our first reopening acts,” revealed Barb. As well as her flourishing musical career, Celeigh is the first Indigenous radio personality on Alberta’s own CKUA Radio Network, and she’s the first Indigenous member of CBC Edmonton’s Radio Arts Column, the In Crowd. “We will be opening slow with just a few
shows to start with. In some shows, like the Burlesque Babylon, they have to figure out how to perform while maintaining social distancing. Most of the shows that we had booked in the spring are trying to book another date. We have to balance safety and finances.” Board members were also working on a salute to seniors in the spring. “We we working in conjunction with The Bethany Group as a stage sponsor. We also had 39 performers who donated time on our virtual concert and we are contacting those people to find out if they can come back,” added Barb. The local theatre groups are also putting together new shows in the future. “Dinner theatres were always popular and we are searching for ways to bring something like that back. We know it won’t be a buffet style. Spotlight Bistro is just opening, so we will work with them. We may have to go with a individual boxed meal.” With the theatre holding the seating limit
to 100 people, they are working on virtual tickets as well. “We are looking at afternoon shows or speakers for the seniors because they would like to attend functions. Maybe they could bring their own lunch. Just saying hello to people you haven’t seen for a while helps your mental health,” said Barb. “We hope people will come out to the Bailey again. We had good attendance for our Marquee Rising unveiling. Some people will need assisting to get used to watching online, or ordering tickets online.” Although the theatre was closed, regular bills came in without the facility generating any income. Staff was laid off and volunteers kept up with cleaning and renovations. “We are looking at all options for people to enjoy the Bailey Theatre again. We have had a lot of encouragement to keep going.” Check in the next few weeks for new shows at the theatre in midOctober.

Railway Safety Week focuses on education
By Lori Larsen
Statistics indicate that from January to August 2020, there have been 114 incidents, 36 fatalities and 22 serious injuries at railway crossings in Canada; 29 of those incidents occurred in Alberta. Almost every one of these incidents could have been prevented. For that reason, CN Rail is promoting Railway Safety Week from Sept. 21 to 27. In conjunction with Railway Safety Week, CN Rail and Camrose Police Service offer the following information to help educate citizens, specifically motorists, on the inherent dangers of railway crossings, and provide information vital to keeping people safe.
There are approximately 40,000 railway crossings in Canada, and most collisions between vehicles and trains happen within 40 km from the motorist’s home, with 66 per cent occurring at crossings with active warning devices (gates, lights, bells). A motorist is 40 times more likely to die in a collision involving a train than one with another motor vehicle. “A motorist who ignores the warning devices takes an unnecessary risk with their life and that of others,” warned Day. Trains are big, powerful and unable to stop quickly. “A freight train with 80 railcars travelling 100 kilometres per hour can take up to two kilometres to stop. An average freight train
The law
While motorists are relied upon to ensure their safety as well as others, laws are in place and enforced in an effort to maintain public safety. Motorists need to be aware that, in accordance to the regulations, failing to stop properly at railway crossing when the electrical/ mechanical signal gives warning may result in a $324 fine. As well, failing to proceed through a railway crossing safely after stopping may result in a $324 fine. Likewise, driving past a railway crossing when the gate is closed/being closed/ opened may result in a $324 fine. Not allowing for the prescribed distance when stopping at a railway crossing/stop sign is not only dangerous, but can result in a $405 fine. “Stop behind any gates or stop lines, or no closer than five metres from the nearest rail and no further than 15 metres back as your sight line decreases down the rail,” said Solowan. “Wait for the train to pass and cross only after the warning signals have stopped and you are certain no other trains are approaching from either direction, on any track.” In the event you should notice a crossing light is not operating or you observe unsafe conditions at a railway crossing or on a track, call 911 or look for the railway company’s emergency number posted on the back of the crossbuck or on the signal house. Once again, use extreme caution around all railway crossings and tracks.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service warns motorists of the extreme danger associated with railway crossings and not abiding by the laws and railway safety signs and signals.
As a pedestrian, stay a safe distance from trains and off railway property and tracks. Don’t use train tracks as a shortcut and always obey railway signs and signals. Railway tracks, bridges, yards, tunnels and equipment are all private property. Trespassing on them is illegal and could lead to a fine of $300 or worse–serious injury or death. “Never walk or ride on the gravel service roads or green spaces alongside tracks–it is both illegal and dangerous,” advised Camrose Police Service (CPS) Traffic Enforcement officer Constable Sarah Day. Look, listen and live. Never assume a train is not travelling on the tracks even if the crossings are marked with warning devices or seem abandoned. It is illegal to use them as a location without explicit permission from the railway company. It is also extremely dangerous. CPS Constable Day Constable John Fernhout (CPS School Resource Officer) have teamed up with CN Police Constable Dean Solowan, to do a school educational rollout on railway safety. “With us having two schools in our community so closely situated to railway tracks, we felt this was very important,” said Day. Presentations on rail safety will be held at participating schools during Railway Safety Week.
weighs 5.5 million kg. Compare that to a car, which weighs around 1,375 kg. A train hitting a car is like a car driving over a pop can,” explained CN Police Constable Dean Solowan. Be aware of how the railway crosses the road. On approach, it may be directly horizontal or slightly perpendicular, so it is always advised to slow down upon approach and look completely to the left and right, remembering your blind spot and peripheral vision. “Depending on where your travels take you, train speeds vary from five mph to mainline speed of 55 mph. This must be taken into consideration when crossing the tracks,” added Solowan. Solowan further explained that the number below the crossbuck at a railway crossing tells you how many sets of tracks a motorist or pedestrian has to cross in order to get to the other side. “Remember, there could be more than one train, in any direction, at any time.” Should your vehicle stall while crossing railway tracks and subsequently be stuck in the middle of the tracks, get out of your vehicle and move at least 30 metres away from the tracks and call 911 (or have another motorist call) or locate the railway company’s emergency number posted on the back of the crossbuck, or on the signal house.
Submitted by CN Rail Rail crossings contain an emergency number posted on signs that can be used in the event that a problem occurs or is observed.

I just like older vehicles and the style of this truck,” said Lorne. While many GMC and Chevrolet trucks are mechanically identical, GMC is positioned as a premium offering to the mainstream Chevrolet brand, with luxury vehicles such as the Denali series. In 1958, most trucks came with a six-cylinder motor. “When I purchased this truck, it already had a 502 (crate) engine, it’s so not factory. I’ve done a little work on the motor, but other than that, I haven’t done a thing to it,” added Lorne. From 1939 to 1974, GMC had its own line of six-cylinder engines, first the inline sixes known as “Jimmy’s” from 1939 to 1959, and then their own V6 from 1960 until 1974, of which a V8 and a V12 version also existed. Additionally, from 1955 through 1959, the less than twoton, domestic GMC gasoline trucks were equipped with Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile V8s–whereas the Canadian models used Chevrolet engines. “It is a fun truck to

drive. The truck features a three-speed automatic (original was called a hydramatic) transmission. I don’t drive the truck enough and I wish I had it out more.
FUN FACTS
In 1958, it was the first year for new Fleetside bed (called Wideside by GMC) in 6.5-foot (two-metre) and eight-foot (2.4-metre) lengths, with a significant redesign of the front end. All light-duty trucks were now called Apache, medium-duty trucks were called Viking and heavy-duty trucks were called Spartan. Trucks now had four headlights instead of the previous two, and featured a shorter, wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights were located in the grille instead of being in the front of the fender. The hood was similar to 1955-56 models, but with a flat valley in the middle. It was the first year for factory-equipped air conditioning. GM promoted its 50th year of production and introduced anniversary models for each brand: Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Chevrolet. The trucks also received similar attention to appearance, while staying essentially durable, with minimal adornment. The new Apache model came standard with painted grille and front bumper, and could be upgraded to chrome. The new Fleetside model featured a smoothsided cargo box and larger bed capacity. Model designations were shortened to 31, 32, 35 and 38 series. A recasting of the 283 small-block gave thicker cylinder walls and side motor-mount bosses.
I like to drive it to watch my grandchildren play ball (last year).” GMC traces its history to the 1902 founding of the Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in Pontiac, Michigan. In 1909, William C. Durant gained control of Rapid Motor Vehicle Company and made it a subsidiary of his General Motors Company. “The truck is on a newer frame, an ’80s model frame. With the modern features (such as power steering), it is much more enjoyable to drive. My Roadrunner doesn’t compare with this truck. The truck is so much more smoother to handle.” The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet’s successor to the Advance Design series. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second series) through 1959. At GMC dealers, it was called the Blue Chip Series. The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt
electrical systems, Chevrolet’s first V8 engine since 1915 (265 cubic inches), and Fleetside beds in 1958. To accommodate an industry-wide switch from
two to four headlamps, all Chevy passenger car and truck models saw styling changes. Canadian GMC trucks were assembled in either Oshawa or Montreal.

Jardine named a Canada West coach By Murray Green
Camrose Kodiaks coach Clayton Jardine was named as one of the coaches to guide the Team Canada West junior club. Although the World Jr. A Challenge was recently cancelled, the coaching staffs were named for the event that was to take place in December in Cornwall, Ont., but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada West was to be led by Brian Maloney (Chilliwack Chiefs) as head coach for the 2020 team. Chosen to work with Maloney as assistant coaches were Paul Dyck (Steinbach Pistons/MJHL); Adam Manah (Sherwood Park Crusaders /AJHL) and Clayton Jardine (Camrose Kodiaks/AJHL). “While the cancellation of the annual World Junior A Challenge is a disappointment, we are all supportive of the process undertaken to arrive at the decision and of the decision itself,” said CJHL president Brent Ladds. “Ensuring the safety of our athletes, officials, volunteers, staff and fans is paramount during these current conditions. We appreciate the support we received through the evaluation process from Hockey Canada and the National Hockey League,” added Ladds. The CJHL president also offered further sentiments. “I would like to extend my congratulations to all of the successful coaching applicants who would have been on site for this year’s event. I know that in the tradition of the WJAC, the Canadian teams would have represented Hockey Canada, the CJHL, and our country in a manner that would have made us very proud.” With their respective clubs in 2019-20, the eight coaches who were selected to be behind the bench at the 2020 WJAC led their teams to a combined overall regular season record of 291-137-34, while producing a total winning percentage of .667. Cornwall is expected to host the 2021 World Jr. A Challenge at a date yet to be determined.

Dr. Roy Clive Alan Fearon
Donna Raye Carlson
Born ~ September 25, 1945, Edmonton, Alberta Passed Away ~ September 16, 2020, Daysland Hospital It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Dr. Roy Fearon on September 16, 2020. Roy passed away peacefully at the age of 74, with his loving family by his side after a long courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Roy is survived and will be lovingly remembered by his wife Yolande of 24 years; children, son Robert (Michelle), daughters, Bonnie (Doug) Sydora, Wendy (Gaute) Tjelflaat, and Cinda Fearon; stepsons Ryan (Christin), Derek (Andrea), and Mathew (Jamee) Williams; and numerous grandchildren/ great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother Lorne (Judi) and sister Dorothy Robinson. Roy was predeceased by his parents George and Dorothy Fearon; and brothers Ron (Grace) and William (Helen). Roy attended the U of A as a member of the Canadian Forces dental office training program. Upon completion of this program in 1968, Roy was awarded the ADA Gold Medal in dentistry. He then commenced his military service with the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, first as Captain in Calgary, and then as a Major in Camp Borden, Ontario. Following six years in the Canadian Forces, Roy purchased a general dental practice in Camrose, Alberta. Roy soon became very active in the community, first as a scout leader, then as a Rotarian where he was the youth exchange committee chairman. Over the years, Roy and family hosted numerous exchange students. During this time, Roy organized and led the first district exchange student bus trip from Camrose to Vancouver for 40 students. The trip included sightseeing and horseback riding in Wells Gray Provincial Park, as well as white water rafting on the Clearwater River. Over the years, Roy would fondly recall the excitement of having 40 foreign exchange students in downtown Vancouver. Aside from having a very busy dental practice and doing community work, Roy was a devoted father of four and donated many happy hours of his time hosting horseback riding lessons and hay rides to youth groups in both winter and summer. Roy was eventually made an honourary member of the Camrose Rotary Club, honouring all his years of voluntary service. In 1996, upon his second marriage, Roy added three more boys, ages 8 to 15, to his family. To celebrate his wedding, Roy gave a free dentistry clinic that day, nearly missing his wedding! In 1998, Roy suffered a stroke, and after a year of extensive therapy, had to regretfully relinquish his practice. Throughout his life, Roy demonstrated excellent community involvement and dedication to making life better for others. And in 2010, this was further acknowledged by the Alberta Dental Association and College. He was awarded the distinguished Medal of Service. Roy was forever grateful to his family, loyal friends and associates who helped him achieve this life’s quest of giving to others. A special thanks to the Daysland Hospital medical staff and Providence Place for their outstanding care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Rotary Club of Camrose. Due to Alberta Health Regulations, a private family service will be held. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Donna moved to Calgary where she worked in surgery at the Foothills Hospital and later at the Rockyview Hospital. Throughout her nursing career, Donna held various roles including head nurse and surgical coordinator prior to leaving the profession in 1978. She was a caring wife of 40 years to David, whom she met on a blind date arranged by mutual friends. Donna joined David on the farm just outside of Meeting Creek where they dairy farmed for nearly 40 years. Along with David, she was so very proud of the farm where together they created a lifetime of memories for the family.

George also kept busy volunteering at the Moose Lodge. He enjoyed working bingos, cutting grass and doing whatever else needed to be done. George enjoyed playing and later coaching soccer, watching hockey, fishing, camping, family, and working on old cars. With retirement came more time for travel, going to Alaska one year, and going to the East Coast, then later to Vancouver another year. George had the opportunity to go back to Holland a couple of times, and also made numerous trips to the States with yearly trips to Minot, North Dakota, with dear friends Lorne and Marlene Pearson, meeting many other friends along the way, and getting a place in Yuma, Arizona to spend their winters. They also enjoyed a month-long trip to Tennessee. George enjoyed going for coffee with many friends at Zellers, McDonald’s and the Norsemen Inn.

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.

Do you ever cook something in the microwave and it’s still cold in the middle, but you just keep eating it because it’s 2020 and you really don’t care anymore? If you have ever sat in the bathroom at work and wondered how long you can sit there before someone searches for you, the answer is 47 minutes. In March: Friday the 13th, full moon, turned clocks ahead, all in one weekend. October 31: Halloween on a Saturday, full moon, turn clocks back an hour all in the same day. Maybe this will return us to factory settings? The good news about wearing a mask is that you don’t have to put your teeth in to go out in public. Visited my doctor today. He told me my sugar was too high. So I went home and moved it to a lower shelf.
SPRUCING UP DOWNTOWN
I keep thinking I wouldn’t mind the cooler weather to kick in, but I don’t want to get too enthusiastic about it because I am 100% sure this is the year we will get flammable snow. Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster
Artist Robert Murray of Morinville painted a mural on the fenced-in area in the back east lane of Tish’s Fashions and Finery. The mural was funded in part by the Façade Improvement Program offered by the City of Camrose to improve infrastructure within the business community with a 50 per cent matching grant up to $5,000 per business for façade or signage improvements.
Central Agencies Home of the Week
Impressive Creekview home
Sometimes I just want someone to hug me and say, “I know it’s hard. You’re going to be okay. Here’s a coffee. And five million dollars.” What doesn’t kill you doesn’t make you stronger. It wakes you up early on the weekend and demands pancakes. Maybe my mom was right all those years ago. Maybe I won’t be happy until someone loses an eye. Maybe that’s what’s been missing. If a woman says, “First of all,” during an argument, run away, because she has prepared research, data, charts, and will destroy you.

Step into style at this well maintained home located in Creekview subdivision with plenty of playgrounds, green spaces, walking trails and easy access to the valley bottom.

Large windows throughout the main living area flood the home with warmth and light. Dark stained shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, light gray backsplash tiles and quartz countertops add a touch of class to the kitchen. A centre island with sit-up breakfast area makes family gatherings the hub of the home. A corner pantry provides plenty more storage. Walk out onto your covered deck
overlooking your landscaped yard and enjoy the great outdoors. Two bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom complete the main floor.

Snaughling: Laughing so hard you snort, then laughing because you snorted, then snorting because you laughed. Due to recent cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. Some people aren’t just missing a screw. The whole toolbox is gone. When I get to work, the first thing I do is hide. Because a good worker is hard to find. Remember when you could refer to your knees as the right one and the left one instead of the good one and the bad one? Good times... Saw my neighbour scraping the “My Kid is a Terrific Student” sticker off the back of her mini-van. Apparently homeschooling is not going so well. I started jogging today. I didn’t want to, but the ice cream truck was not stopping. The devil whispered to all 2020 school teachers, “Your not strong enough to withstand this storm.” And the teachers whispered back, “You’re.” I thought about going on an almond diet, but that’s just nuts.
