A pandemic can really impact education and training. For Camrose Fire Department, the normal method of passing on education and tips to the general public during Fire Prevention Week 2020 simply isn’t possible. This year, CFD will be relying on video education more than ever before to help spread the theme of “Serve up Safety in the Kitchen”. Fire trainers want to show you that it can be dangerous, or deadly, to leave food cooking on the stove unattended. Their video will explain the logic of using a timer as a reminder that you’re cooking; have a one-metre kid free zone around the stove; and not to cook while you’re too tired to be alert. One final tip that every amateur or professional chef needs to know: keep that oven mitt and pan lid ready so that if a grease fire starts, you can rapidly smother the flame. Fire Prevention Week content of interest can be found in this issue and on Camrose Now!

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster City limits Centra Cam Recycling Depot for City ratepayers use only. By Lori Larsen
During the Sept. 21 City of Camrose regular council meeting council approved a motion to post signage at Centra Cam Recycling Depot indicating that the facility is for City of Camrose Ratepayers use only. On July 6 the City of Camrose provided Camrose County with an updat-
ed proposal, requesting a fixed annual contribution of $55,000 as their share for offsetting the costs of the operation of Centra Cam Recycling Depot facility. In a letter, dated Sept. 9 to the City, Camrose County expressed their desire to discontinue the recycling services with the City explaining that
County council determined that it was cost prohibitive to continue with these services. They indicated they would be amalgamating their efforts at the Regional Landfill and directing County residents to take recycling to the West Dried Meat Lake Regional Landfill. City of Camrose Engineering Services manag-
er Jeremy Enarson proposed a number of possible options for restricting access to the City recycling facility to City ratepayers (resident and business) only. These options ranged from installing signage at the entrance(s) and within the recycle depot site, reducing operating hours of the recycle depot, using Centra Cam staff to canvass whether users were City ratepayers and turning away anyone who was not, or issuing swipe cards to City residents and businesses and installing magnetic readers at the gates to limit access to preauthorized users. Enarson indicated that administration would be
open to any other options proposed by council adding that there may be some implications for budget and future capital needs depending on which direction council chose. Councillor Greg Wood commented. “I don’t think we need to spend a lot of money on this. Just some additional signage at the recycling depot indicating that the facility is for City of Camrose ratepayers and maybe direct county residents to their options for recycling.” City administration and council will continue to review options as part of the budget process.

That’s how resilient our world is
I’ll get to “That’s how resilient our world is.” But first, some context. I have a friend who, for more than 25 years, has owned a parcel of wilderness land in the Columbia River Gorge. The Columbia River Gorge is a canyon of the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. If you Google Columbia River Gorge, you’ll see photos of spectacular waterfalls and cliffs and lush unbroken forest. My friend owns a parcel of that unspoiled wilderness. ***
Before she purchased her parcel of land, my friend was part of an effort to prevent portions of the Columbia River Gorge from being sold to developers who wanted to clear out chunks of the gorge for commercial purposes. Development was not approved and the gorge was given federally protected status as the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. In the 25-plus years that I’ve known my friend, her parcel of land in the Columbia River Gorge has been a touchstone for her. She’s travelled around the world, but this patch of protected wilderness is her favourite place on earth, her sacred sanctuary, where she goes to replenish. It’s a symbol of everything she values. A few weeks ago, as Oregon wild fires swept through, her parcel of land in the Columbia River Gorge was burned to the ground. She was devastated. ***
It took a while for her simply to absorb the fact that her parcel of unspoiled forest and wildlife had burned to the ground. She went through classic stages of grief– going numb, being outraged, thinking maybe it wasn’t really true, that maybe some of the land was okay. She got depressed. Finally, she was able to take in, to accept, that her beautiful sanctuary and symbol of lifetime dreams was totally destroyed. She lives a half-day drive away from the parcel of land. Last week, she gathered her courage and drove to visit it. She spoke with me a few days later. ***
She talked first of the devastation. The former lush forest is completely gone. It’s black. Everything is black. The ground is black. The highest charred remains of tree trunks, less than a metre in height, are black. If you scrape your foot on the ground, black remains give way to other black remains. She showed me photos. Black, black, black. But then she noticed something. She could see a tiny green shoot growing up through the black. Telling me the story, she said, “Out of the charred remains, there were shoots of new life. That’s how resilient our world is.”

I am writing a reply to the letter “Our Country” in the Sept. 8 edition of The Booster. I will state that Canada has many proud achievements in its history. Unfortunately, the treatment of racially diverse groups is not one of them. The history of our country Canada that many of us were taught in school did not and still does not examine the adversities that many of these racial minority groups have experienced and are still facing as they strive to take their equal place in Canadian society. To understand this part of our history, I suggest that my fellow citizens read the book They Call Me George by Cecil Foster, which is available at the Camrose Public Library. Keith Elliott Sr., Camrose Wearing masks
In the last Booster, letter writers went off against the need to wear masks. Usually misinformation and conspiracy theories are an attempt to simplify a complex issue with, at best, cherry picking of the facts to suit a belief or narrative or, at worse, the ramblings of a someone with profound paranoia or delusions.
Wearing a mask to protect your fellow citizens, your vulnerable family members and yourself is literally the least you can do. It’s a selfless act of concern for your neighbours. Recent WHO studies have again shown that mask wearing slows the spread of COVID-19. If you have any doubt, go ask your family doctor. This pseudo-libertarian ranting we hear now and again is just an individual’s selfish and self-centered world view, one of entitlement and somewhat narcissistic. Public health officials are educated and expert in ensuring that the spread of communicable diseases is kept in check. There is no conspiracy beyond keeping the public as healthy as possible, especially against a novel virus to which many are vulnerable. To try to make the link to communism, or the climate change bogeyman, or Antifa onto measures meant to protect the most vulnerable in our society, is obtuse in the extreme. Stop getting your news from Facebook, perhaps put your face in a real book. Whether it’s Covid or climate change or black lives matter or…pick your issue, I am so done with people def lecting their own inability to deal with the world and projecting
their ignorance onto the trusted public institutions that have given us peace and security and health for many, many years. The more I hear these kinds of views expressed, the more I realize that there are indeed actors out there who mean to divide us. The only real response is to shed light on the lies and half-truths. Peer reviewed science, not opinion, should rule the day. Even just use some common sense or critical thinking and the absurdity of these arguments just fall apart. Tim Belec Camrose Health contract
Will our MLA/health minister explain to citizens the economic and social benefits of the UPC contract with TELUS Health in March 2020? UPC contract with TELUS Health pays for physician virtual consult at a rate of $38 per consult. The UPC contract with Alberta doctors virtual consult is $20 per consult. Who are these TELUS physicians? Are they Canadian? Is this one more UPC health scheme to Americanize our Canadian health care system? Where is list from the Alberta government of all contracts with mega-corporations? E. Wetheral, Camrose

She said other things. “The pine needles dropped to form a carpet of brown needles. It softened the black. And the ash is fertilizer.” That enabled the little green shoot to germinate and poke through. Looking around at the charred remains, she noticed other things. She saw a flock of wild turkeys. “Turkeys represent abundance,” she said (I’d never heard that, but I’m happy to believe it). “There were ravens everywhere. Ravens are magic,” she said (I’d never heard that either, but hey, find optimism where you can). “The wild flowers will be back in the spring. The trees will be back. That will take longer. The tops are scoured, but most trees did not completely burn. They will be back.” She began to describe the whole situation as a gift. “By engaging with this property, out of the ugliest remains comes the greatest gift.” And then she said, “It’s not what I would have chosen, but I’m willing to open to the gifts and share the gifts.” In this year 2020, as most of us on the planet are suffering losses and grief, that is a good place to land. ***

Centra Cam finding new normal By Murray Green
Centra Cam had to shut down many of its activities this spring, just like the rest of the province. They are opening programs again after being missed by the community in recycling and in the store. They continue in the direction as laid out in the 2019 goals. They strive to be a good and fair employer, and take the operations and the safety of staff, volunteers and clients serious. Centra
Cam provides a safe work environment for everyone. Due to COVID-19, 60 staff were laid off with locations closed. The recycling depot, the emergency clothing and furniture depot and the outlet store are now open. The annual Centra Cam Bowl-A-Thon was cancelled in the spring due to COVID-19. When bowlers and businesses heard of the cancelation, people stepped up to support the cause. They raised $27,158
despite having no event, and 648 people gave 871 donations. Some people sponsored more than one bowler. In the 2020-21 year, the executive president is Doug Macdonald, first vice president Wally Wrubleski, second vice president Kevin Gurr, treasurer Lou Henderson and secretary Krista Davis. Directors include Liz Rolf, Rob Hauser, Kent Freeborn, Cameron Lewis, Ron Kuefler, Dean Inman and Brian Francoeur.

Elk Island updates both local schools By Murray Green
Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS) facilities department provided an update for trustees on Sept. 16 of the various summer projects that took place throughout the division. More than $2.1 million in funding was allocated to various schools in order to maintain and update existing buildings and heating/ cooling systems. The majority of the funding for these projects was a result of the government’s Capital Maintenance and Renewal funding. Summer facility projects
are completed in the summer without staff and students at school. This year, the number of projects was doubled and facility staff worked quickly with staff and contractors to ensure the projects were done in advance of the September school re-entry. “As a governing board, we are thrilled with the progress of these projects in our schools,” said EICS board chair Ted Paszek. “As a board, we realize that funding for these projects enhances the high-quality learning and the working

Levels not seen since the Great Depression
“Levels not seen since the Great Depression” is a phrase we have been hearing lately and anyone struggling during this period should be rightfully concerned. But how similar is our current situation to is to the Great Depression? Unemployment numbers in Canada are very high at the moment; recent statistics indicate that the unemployment rate was approximately Daniel Sims, chair of First 10.2 per cent in August. We Nations Studies UNBC, do not really know how many former History, people were unemployed University of Alberta during the Great Depression. Augustana Campus Canada’s current employment insurance program did not come into existence until 1940; before then, no one really knew how many people were unemployed. Prior to 1940, aid offered to the unemployed was generally handled by local municipalities, which tended to ignore non-residents and did not always keep accurate records. Adding to the uncertainty were two factors not always considered today. First, more Canadians worked informally and were paid in cash or kind to avoid income tax. Second, receiving aid was purposely made shameful by municipalities in order to reduce the number of applicants. As a consequence, rather than admitting they were unemployed and asking the government for aid, many people during the Great Depression simply did the best they could. That being said, one of the biggest differences between the Great Depression and our current economic situation is that we now live in a welfare state with numerous social programs designed to help us out during times of need. During the 1930s, most of the social welfare programs we have today did not exist. Both the Liberals and Conservatives believed that it was responsibility of individuals to take care of themselves. One exception was the old-age pension, which had been implemented in 1927 and only applied to those poor 70 years and older who earned less than $365 per year. It was not until Roosevelt’s New Deal in the United States–implemented between 1933-39 to stimulate economic recovery from the Depression and provide relief to the poor–that the idea of the state helping out its citizens became widely accepted by Canadians. This shift in attitude explains why unemployment insurance was tried in 1935 and was followed by the family allowance in 1945. Two years later, hospital insurance would start in Saskatchewan and give birth to our current universal health system. As these programs emerged and expanded, Canadians increasingly came to expect them. This is one of the reasons why the federal and provincial governments created new programs directly connected to COVID-19. In this sense, things are very different today. These social programs have provided us with breathing space to try to figure out how to deal with the current pandemic crisis. We are helped by the fact the governments around the world have taken steps to try to prevent the compounding of issues. Rather than raising tariffs and trying to enrich their own countries at the expense of others, most states have worked to keep international routes open even when their borders are not. Steps have also been taken to make sure the price of most commodities does not fall through the floor, especially in instances where the “new normal” has resulted in a large surplus. As a result of these measures, Canada as a whole has made a better than expected recovery as COVID-19 related restrictions have been lifted. Some analysts even believe we will see a full recovery in 2021. Again, this is very different from the Great Depression. That being said, one thing this current economic downturn has had in common with the Great Depression is that it appears to have dealt a fatal blow to businesses and industries that were already struggling at the start of the year. For example, according to Statistics Canada, prior to COVID-19, approximately 39,000 businesses closed down every month. However, the month of April saw 87,998 businesses close their doors, followed by another 62,560 in May. As a result, Canada has 1.1 million fewer paid workers than it did in February. My sympathies go out to those currently facing this situation.
During the Sept. 21 City of Camrose regular council meeting, council received several letters written by residents of Creekview subdivision opposing the redistricting and subsequent development of a mobile home park in the area on the southeast corner of Camrose Drive and 50 Street. A proposed amendment to the Land Use Bylaw (LUB)3123-20 intends the redistricting of Lot 1, Block 1, Plan 102 6346 from a low density residential district (R1) to a mobile home and transition neighbourhood district (MH). Of the 10 letters presented to council in opposition, the underlying concerns consisted of: lowering Creekview property values; safety and security of Creekview neighbourhoods; decreasing the aesthetics along Camrose Drive for visitors travelling through the City; increased traffic on 50 Street and Camrose Drive; inappropriate choice for affordable living; upkeep and maintenance of mobile home parks; proximity to amenities; and the impact on the naturalization project along Camrose Drive. Barry Mason of Stantec Consulting (on behalf of the landowner) spoke to council about the specifics of the proposed mobile home park and transition neighbourhood, which would be subject to an area structure plan, approved by the City. Mason indicated that this particular development will differ from other mobile home parks and will consist of a high quality manufactured home community. “All homes will be new construction and architec-
tural controls will be developed and strictly implemented. The site will have a green park space and playground in the centre.” He added that the lot layouts will provide generous lot space and that there will be a two-metre high berm and fencing. “The development will be continuously maintained by staff.” Councillor Max Lindstand inquired with administration as to why there was no open house on this particular development. “The fact that there is this negative reaction on behalf of a lot of the residents of Creekview, it seems it would have been reasonable. Perhaps we should organize one now so there can be some explanation and expansion on what the proposal actually is. That might help with residents in Creekview to be more accepting of the proposal.” City of Camrose planning and development manager Aaron Leckie explained that there are indicators as to whether or not an open house needs to be requested with the decision being left up to administration before the item comes to council. “Once it is at council, if additional open houses or public engagement is requested, we (administration) would of course carry through with that request. In this particular instance, because it was zoned a combination of multifamily, commercial and mobile home prior to the adoption of LUB in 2016, and because this proposal to rezone the site to mobile home district complies with all the City of Camrose long term plans, including the municipal development plan and the LUB, we felt for those reasons an open
house wasn’t necessary. Based on the documentation we have on this bylaw, it would have been supported by administration.” Leckie also reported that a measurement of the closest home in Creekview to the boundary of the proposed manufactured home area is about half a kilometre. “There are also signs (containing Public Hearing and contact information regarding the proposed Bylaw 3123-20) on site and there has been advertising in The Booster to try to accommodate general comments.” Leckie advised council that should they direct the applicant to conduct an open house, administration would support the recommendation and attend the open house. Councillor Wayne Throndson suggested council request the developer to consider an open house. “I believe from the letters received the opposition is basically, what I think to be, a misconception of what this development might look like, and an open house would give you an opportunity to show and present it to the people who are objecting and show them, in fact, that the comparators that they are using really are not fair comparators to what this project will be. I suggest we proceed to second reading, request the developer have an open house, then proceed to third reading after that.” Council approved second reading of the amendment to Bylaw 3123-20 and directed the developer to proceed with an open house, allowing them the opportunity to present a more detailed proposal for public engagement.

Take care of your mental health By Canada Safety Council
With school back in session, parents and teachers are preparing children to learn, but also to stay safe, most commonly from physical injuries and illnesses. However, a safety topic that too often goes overlooked is mental health. Recently, the topic of mental health is being treated more and more in the context of safety, but the subject matter is excluded from safety discussions by caregivers too often, frequently as a result of uncertainty in how to address it or unfamiliarity with mental health. This makes its place in the discussion that much more crucial–not only does mental illness affect a child’s performance in school, but it can affect them to the point where they put themselves or others in physical danger or inflict harm.

“For Dentures That Really Fit You” Submitted Adeline Fast, left, Louise Jensen Care Centre resident Ross McNeil and physical therapist Lisa Foreman try out the new wheels at The Bethany Group. Adeline has volunteered with The Bethany Group from its early days, primarily in the therapies. Throughout her time, she has helped many residents, but one day stands out to her. When helping residents get rides from the library’s life cycle, she noticed a resident having a very bad day. It was with much coaxing that Adeline and staff finally convinced the resident to go for a ride. The change in the resident’s demeanor when they returned was marked–from having a bad day and feeling quite miserable, the resident was now happy and eager to go for another ride. It was then that Adeline decided The Bethany Group needed its own special bike. Thanks to a generous donation from Adeline and her husband, a trishaw bicycle was purchased and is now in use, giving residents the benefit of the outdoors in a safe, secure and comfortable way.
an arena in which discussion can benefit both child and caregiver. In the context of National School Safety Week, Oct. 17 to 23, it is our responsibility as a society to ensure that everyone–including school-aged children–have access to the mental health resources they may need. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, children that have mental health illnesses often go undiagnosed; as few as one in five children
with mental health issues seek medical help. And unfortunately, due to lack of awareness and education, many myths about mental health and its impact on children contribute to misinformation and misunderstanding. Here are a few pervasive myths and the truths behind them. Mental health is just as real as getting a cold, breaking a leg, or any other shortterm or long term illness/ injury. Physical illnesses and injuries have varied

ranges of severity, duration and frequency. This is the same with mental health illnesses. Mental health is the state of one’s psychological and emotional wellbeing. Mental health covers an umbrella of illnesses including Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. These illnesses vary in degree of severity, and can all be controlled
through medication and/ or therapy. However, when these illnesses are not diagnosed or managed through treatment, those that are ill may possibly harm others or themselves. Children will grow out of habits, clothing and “phases”…but mental health stays with a person for the duration of their life. When we use the term “grow out of,” it commonly refers to a growing pain that is meant to be temporary.

Work experience for students encouraged By Murray Green
Post-secondary students and recent graduates are facing work challenges because of COVID-19. There are fewer jobs for everyone, not just students. Not-for-profits are seeing an increased demand for their services and thousands of Canadians want to be a part of the solution. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the launch of the Canada Student Service Grant (CSSG), which will support post-secondary students and recent graduates as they volunteer to serve in their communities’ COVID-19 response and gain valuable experience at the same time. The CSSG will provide these volunteers with a onetime payment of between $1,000 and $5,000, based on the number of hours they serve. To find not-for-profit organizations looking for help during the pandemic, post-secondary students and recent graduates can use the new I Want to Help platform. The Government of Canada is also helping young Canadians find paid work placements and get the skills they need to start their careers. CSSG supports an additional 20,000 job placements for post-secondary students in high demand sectors, and a new investment of $186 million in the Student Work Placement Program will help more post-secondary students across Canada get paid work experience related to their field of study. This funding is in addition to the $80 million that was announced on April 22.
“Canadian students are looking for ways to make a real difference in their communities. With these new investments, we are giving them the support and connections they need to have a positive impact during COVID-19 and gain the skills needed for future success,” said Prime Minister Trudeau. This creates 10,000 new job placements for young people between the ages of 15 and 30 through the Canada Summer Jobs program. New funding of over $60 million will help expand the current work placement target from 70,000 to 80,000, creating 10,000 more placements. The program provides wage subsidies to employers so they can give quality work experience to young Canadians and help them develop the skills they need to transition into the labour market. It creates 5,000 new internships for college and university students across Canada with small and medium-sized businesses. Funding of $40 million will also help develop partnerships with new industries, and offer internships to students in more areas of study. It will support programs serving high-demand sectors such as health, community services, and information technology, and help other sectors to recover. It also offers paid, practical work internships for young people, through which they can develop advanced digital skills as well as experience in project management, teamwork, and communications.
addressed the issue of mandatory vaccinations. When asked if she supported the government having the power to mandate vaccinations, she replied, “I don’t see an example of where that would be used. So, I think if we have a piece of legislation that we’re unlikely to use, I’m not sure it provides much benefit. I’d be comfortable with that particular piece of the legislation being removed.” The Public Health Act Review Committee is care-
fully weighing recommendations for amendments to the Act, including the possibility of removing the ability of government to mandate vaccinations. At this point, there is not a COVID-19 vaccine or proven treatment. Health Canada will ensure the review of any new vaccine to ensure that there is evidence of efficacy, safety and quality before making it available to Canadians. “The concerns that I am hearing from the people in our constituency are
that this has gone through second reading through the process of legislation. What they are hearing and misunderstanding is that this is happening in Alberta. But that is not the case,” assured Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely, a member of the committee. Discussion is taking place among members and Lovely, as well as other members, have strongly vocalized that they are not in support of mandatory vaccinations.

During the Sept. 21 City of Camrose regular council meeting, City manager Malcolm Boyd provided council with an update on the status of the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) between the City of Camrose and Camrose County, specifically the agreement regarding recycling, fire and recreation. “The County, in recent communication to us, has elected to accept our offer on fire, decline recycling and has to get back to us regarding the revised proposal on recreation,” said Boyd. “I did mention to my counterpart at the County (CAO Paul King) that these were not optional, this was a package deal in terms of the ICF, but the County has elected to decline recycling and accept fire services. So we are looking to council to provide some direction on our next steps.” Fire services Councillor Wayne Throndson echoed Boyd’s comments. “The theory is, we have three draft proposals we have made to the County which were a package deal which form part of the ICF agreement. Their suggestion that they can just accept the fire proposal is not, in my mind, an acceptable solution. That leaves the other two agreements hanging. “I propose a motion that Camrose County’s proposal for fire services be rejected and administration bring back a report on the possible cessation of fire services to Camrose County effective Jan. 1, 2021, and that Camrose County be notified accordingly.” The motion was seconded by councillor PJ Stasko. Throndson further explained the rationale behind the proposed date for ceasing fire services to Camrose County. “It is not our intention to jeopardize
any County resident in the meantime. I was pleased to hear that highway service calls for accidents, we still respond to (and will continue to do so), that is a different agreement. This agreement (the matter before council) is strictly for fire calls.” Throndson added that the City desires to be a good neighbour by providing the County with enough time to make sure they have an orderly transition to their own fire service, prior to cessation of the City’s fire services. The motion was carried. City administration is drafting a report to bring back to the next council meeting on the process for cessation of fire service to the County. Recreation services Councillor PJ Stasko made a motion to direct administration to bring back a report on differential pricing for non-City ratepayers for all recreational facilities to be effective Jan. 1, 2021 if an acceptable recreational agreement cannot be reached by Dec. 31 with Camrose County or until arbitration is completed under the ICF process. The motion was seconded by councillor Greg Wood, voted on and carried. Boyd added, “We are still waiting for a proposal to come back from the County on recreational services. That would be the last loose end response that we need from the County. By that time, we can bring back reports to City council about the timing of the cessation of fire services and request formal direction from council on how to proceed with arbitration.”

Accessing private land By Lori Larsen
As guardians of the land and wildlife and those responsible for the preservation and maintenance of public peace, Fish and Wildlife Officers need to access both public and private land in the execution of their duties. “At times, officers enter onto private lands to do regular hunter, fisheries or trapping compliance checks which is a very large part of a district patrol plan in any given season,” explained Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement branch district Officer Lorne Rinkel. “We specifically try to complete hunting compliance checks at times of the day that will not interfere with prime hunting times, such as pre-dawn or dusk, but that is not always possible.” In accordance to the Wildlife Act, Section 66 (1), a wildlife officer or wildlife guardian may, without a warrant, enter on and pass over any land while lawfully engaged in the exercise of powers or the performance of duties or functions given him or her by, or that otherwise relate to the enforcement of, this Act, including those implied by section 65(2). Most property owners have no issue with Fish and Wildlife officers entering their land. However, there are a few who may have issues for various reasons, including concern over crops or land being disturbed due to traffic, livestock escaping through opened gates and the fear of not knowing who is on their property. “Interestingly, the bulk of hunters who we check on private lands are not the landowners themselves, but when we do occasionally encounter those landowners, I have never had any response other than that of appreciation for being there to ensure property rights are maintained,” said Rinkel.

By Lori Larsen Things may look a little different this year for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4 to 10, but the message is the same. Everyone needs to be educated on fire safety and prevention. This year’s theme is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen” and the Camrose Fire Department (CFD) is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)–the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years–to educate residents on how to prevent fires in the kitchen and promote safe kitchen practices. “Unfortunately we cannot have the usual face-to-face contact including our popular Pancake Breakfast and doorto-door education initiatives (Great Escape and smoke detector checks),” said CFD Fire Chief Peter Krich. “But we have come up with some fun ways to connect with our community.” Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in Canada. The majority of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Most home fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials. “We know cooking fires can be prevented,” said NFPA vice president of outreach and advocacy Lorraine Carli. “Staying in the kitchen while cooking, using a timer, and avoiding distractions such as electronics or TV, are steps everyone can take to keep families safe in their homes.” The Camrose Fire Department encourages all residents to embrace the 2020 Fire Prevention Week theme. “The most important step you should take before making a meal is to Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!” said CFD Fire Life Safety educator Jeff Knopf. “A cooking fire can grow quickly. I have seen many homes damaged by fires that could easily have been prevented.”
This year, Fire Prevention Week activities will look a little different due to public health restrictions. This year’s campaign will consist of media-based video campaigns and in-person activities that include social distancing.

6 large eggs 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup finely cut bread crumbs 7 ounces (3/4 cup) fresh breakfast sausage, casings removed Vegetable oil (for frying) Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper Garlic salt Place four eggs in a small saucepan; add cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; remove from heat, cover, and let stand for three minutes. Carefully drain, then fill pan with ice water to cool eggs. Gently crack shells and carefully peel under cold running water.

Fundraising raffle assists Open Door programs By Murray Green
Spectrum Physiotherapy Camrose is asking the community to support The Open Door through a raffle for an Edmonton Oilers bicycle. “Today (Sept. 19) marks the first anniversary of Spectrum Physiotherapy. To celebrate this big achievement, we decided to focus on the community that helped make it happen. We are here today to help support the amazing organization–The Open Door Association,” said Spectrum Physiotherapy Camrose owner Manis Kathuria. The Open Door exists to meet the needs of youth ages 11 to 24, who find themselves at risk. They have been in operation since 1998, providing services to Camrose and East Central Alberta. “There is no denying 2020 has been a difficult year for small business. We’ve been very fortunate to have received an incredible amount of support and we wanted to pay it forward. If you’re following us online, look for the #thinklocal and
#supportlocalcamrose to help spread the word,” he added. “Manis, I want to congratulate you on your anniversary, and I’m glad that you were able to hire some local people,” said MLA Lovely. “We serve youth ages 11 to 24, in addition of having a housing complex for those 16 to 24. We are very passionate about the work that we do and without the continued support of this community, we would not be able to have the effect that we do,” said Open Door youth support worker Emma Pilkington. “I want to congratulate Manis on his one-year anniversary and in today’s economy, it is nice to see a business prosper and grow. To recognize The Open Door (with a fundraiser) is a testament to who he is,” said Kevin Hycha, Deputy Mayor of the City of Camrose. “During COVID, I started #thinklocal and I thank Camrose for supporting shopping local first,” said Janaya Iverson, Miss Junior Teen for Northern Alberta.

situation. The live show entitled Early One Evening at the Rainbow Bar and Grille will be on stage on Oct. 29, 30 and 31. The play, written by Bruce Graham, ref lects on the theme of the end is near. When Shep, a bartender and almost published writer at the Rainbow Bar and Grille, realizes it is the last day on earth, he and all the locals are doing what they think is their last chance to do what they need done–their bucket list. Shep just wants it to end, Roy wants to party hard and get his hands clean, Willy wants to deal with his anger issues, and Shirley wants Shep. Virginia wants to get
to Colorado, but bad luck, a bad attitude and a neon sign prevent her from getting there. Is it the Russians? Is it the Chinese or is it the Arabs? Listen to Shep and the gang figure out their last day on earth. This play features mature subject matter and bar service will be available. The cast will include Bailey Lassesen as Virginia, Mike Hicks as Shep, Cole Olesen as Joe, Janette VanReede-Groenewold as Shirley, Jake Wade as Roy, Trevor McTavish as Willy and Ashes Prevost-Rookes as Bullard. The play will be directed by Olesen and produced by Inf inite Imagination.

Open Door extends its reach By Lori Larsen
The Camrose Open Door Association has expanded their services into the City of Wetaskiwin to establish and operate a 24/7 Integrated Response Hub, including a shelter with 20-30 beds, and a daytime drop-in centre with multiple programs. Wetaskiwin city council approved up to $90,000 for the hub. The facility (location to be determined) will be run by The Open Door organization, which is based out of Camrose and currently serves youth and young adults at risk for Camrose and outlying areas. The Open Door has also established youth services in Rocky Mountain House. The expansion into Wetaskiwin will support both youth and adults. “Wetaskiwin has been in conversation with The Open Door for more than three years to bring services from Camrose to Wetaskiwin” explained Open Door executive director Jessica Hutton. “The Open Door is aware of the critical need for a shelter and programming in Wetaskiwin, and we feel that the experience of The
Open Door, as well as the unique capacity to provide this type of programming, will be the key to success.”
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Open Door executive director Jessica Hutton
The programs offered at the new facility will be similar to those offered within Camrose: the Integrated Hub, emergency housing program, outreach services, tenant education, ID program, restorative justice, community helpers program and SMART recovery.
The Open Door is a not-for-profit organization offering support services to individuals and families. The trained and experienced team at The Open Door not only offers professional services and support, but hope for brighter futures. “The Open Door provides exactly what our name says: an open door,” remarked Hutton. “The services, programs and supports we offer meet individuals where they are at, providing response to all of their holistic needs.” Challenging times in the lives of these individuals have often brought them to circumstances beyond their control. The Open Door is a safe place where they, along with their families, can connect with the services they need to help them move forward and become contributing members of the community.

Haise family donates 1947 Ford to museum By Murray Green
A bright green 1947 Ford truck was donated to the Camrose and District Museum Society in 1981. The truck was owned by W. Gordon Haise, who was the assistant general counsel with the Alberta Agricultural Development Corporation (AADC). Gordon was born in Red Deer and spent many hours growing up at his uncle’s farm at Penhold, where he met Doug Shields, whose family also farmed at Penhold. They became lifelong friends after sharing accommodations at the University of Alberta. This basic body was revived after the Second World War, but changes were few through 1947. Gordon acquired the 1947 Ford while practising law at AADC in Camrose. He was also a close friend of the Frank Wilcox family and he housed the truck at Frank’s shop. On his wedding day, the green Ford waited outside the church for Gordon and his bride on the special occasion. At the time of his demise, the truck was still located at the Wilcox shop. Gordon’s widow advised Frank that she wanted him to take ownership of the truck. His advice was
MUSEUM SPECIAL
Murray Green, Camrose Booster This 1947 Ford truck was used during Gordon Haise and his wife’s wedding when he lived in Camrose. The family donated the bright green truck to the museum so everyone could enjoy the truck as much as he did.
to donate the truck to the Camrose museum where it would always be enjoyed and maintained. This was agreed and the museum has housed the truck in Camrose since 1981.
FUN FACTS
The Ford flathead V8 (often simply called the Ford flathead, flathead Ford, or flatty when the context is implicit, such as in hot-rodding) is a V8 engine of the valve-in-block type designed by the Ford Motor Company and built by Ford and various licensees. During the engine’s first decade of production, when overhead-valve engines were used by only a small minority of makes, it was usually known simply as the Ford V‑8 and the first car model in which it was installed, the Model 18, was (and still is) often called simply the Ford V‑8, after its new engine. Self-centering brakes became standard in 1946 Ford half-ton models, which came only with a 239cid V-8 or the six-cylinder. Wheels were black on 1942-47 Ford half-ton pickup models, but only the pre-war trucks offered pin-striping. To differentiate Ford and Mercury trucks, Mercury added a brand-specific grille and slightly different exterior and interior trim.
Museum board member Albert Olson and friend Herman Jacobs drove the truck to the museum. This information was forwarded by Joyce Wilcox, who has since passed. The 1947 Ford line was similar to the short 1946. Visual differences included the removal of the red accents from the grille and the two small lights located just above it. Ford began titling 1947s in February 1947. For the first few weeks, the 1947 model was identical to the 1946. Ford then restyled the body slightly, first by moving the parking lights from above the grille to below each headlight. Exterior moldings were changed from grooved to a smooth design. A new hood ornament with a blue plastic insert was installed. A new hubcap design became available in March.
The interior dash colour was changed from red accent to gold. By September, the roof-mounted antenna was moved to the
cowl. Horns were moved in front of the radiator from the engine compartment. The final 1947 models were titled in November.

Vague, expensive, Ottawa knows best
WINTER IS COMING
By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot
This past week, Parliament finally reopened with the Governor General delivering a Speech from the Throne. Although Canadians were promised a path forward out of the COVID-19 health and economic crisis, the Liberals instead chose to recycle broken election promises, offer no plan to control spending, and make many vague election style promises. In fact, this Throne Speech demonstrated the “need” to prorogue Parliament was nothing more than an attempt to avoid scrutiny into Prime Minister Trudeau’s failures and scandals, showing a troubling abuse of executive power. Other than one promise regarding the extension of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, a plan that only exists because of the hard work of Conservatives, Canadians are left with little new information about the Government’s plan for our nation. Among many concerns is the growing burden of debt and deficits which has been called unsustainable and concerning by experts, economists, and credit rating agencies alike. As the costs for emergency programs continue to add up, Canada is facing the prospect of a fiscal cliff. This should be a cause for concern for all Canadians as the reckless fiscal policies of the Liberals have put our social infrastructure at risk. Although under reported, I’m deeply concerned about the Liberal’s “Ottawa knows best” intrusion into provincial jurisdictions. The Liberals are committed to their agenda of keeping the provinces on a short leash to ensure they don’t stray from narrow Ottawa-centric objectives. Instead of allowing provinces to serve their regions, Justin Trudeau and his Liberal cohorts are continuing to spur a national unity crisis. In the Throne Speech, they go as far as to say they will only work with “willing” provinces and territories. There are solutions to the critical challenges facing our country that would spur investment, provide certainty for business, and get folks back to work. Solutions need to include the recovery of our national economy, security for vulnerable sectors, and partnering with provinces to ensure Canadians and Canadian businesses have the support they need, not the vague troubling language that leaves the most vulnerable behind, divides Canadians, and impairs our energy and agricultural sectors. As your Member of Parliament, I am tirelessly working with my colleagues in the Official Opposition to ensure supports are available for individuals and businesses who need it, pushing to get our economy moving again, and demanding accountability on all fronts. The effects of COVID-19 are still being felt and I know it is more important than ever that we respect our neighbours, use common sense, and most importantly, don’t lose hope. As always, if you need assistance with any programs and services provided by the Federal Government, please feel free to reach out to my office. My staff and I will do everything we can to assist you.

Custom Hand-Waxing and Polishing
Turning up the heat on excessive noise By Lori Larsen
The warmer fall weather is an excuse for people to keep their windows open and stay out in the great outdoors, enjoying the fresh air. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks are some of the nuisance sounds, such as excessive noise created by vehicles, electronic devices and sometimes over exuberant people. For that reason, and so everyone can enjoy themselves peacefully, laws and bylaws have been created to control and enforce excessive noise. In the City of Camrose, the Nuisance Abatement Bylaw 2966-17 (2258/01) protects residents from any act or deed, or omission, or thing, which is, or could reasonably be expected to be annoying, or troublesome, or destructive, or harmful, or inconvenient, or injurious to another person and/or his property. The bylaw does not, however, include any noise or inconvenience which results from commercial or municipal activities, reasonably conducted, which provide service to the community, such as snow cleaning or construction activities. By virtue of Section 4 (1) of the bylaw, any person within the City who causes any noise, which may be a nuisance, or except as authorized by the Solicitor General of the Province
of Alberta, discharges any firearm unless permission in writing is first obtained from the Chief of Police, or any person authorized by him, or between the hours of 11 p.m. in the afternoon of one day and 7 a.m. in the forenoon of the next day, operates any engine or motor powered machine used for gardening, or landscaping or on lawns, or operates any electronic device in such a manner as to be a nuisance, may be subject to a fine of $150. Camrose Police Service (CPS) Traffic Enforcement officer Constable Sarah Day explained that another major complaint received from residents is brought on by excessive noise from motor vehicles and motorcycles. “At present, there is not a bylaw surrounding the excessive noise produced by motor vehicles on the highway,” explained Day. “We are, however, in the process of doing research into decibel metres, but at this time, we will not be making changes to our current bylaw. Day added that there are other laws that regulate excessive noise within City limits. In accordance with Camrose Heavy Vehicle off trucking route Bylaw Section 211, the use of retarder brakes, while within City limits, is subject to a $100 fine.
“Under the Vehicle Equipment Regulations, specifically Section 61(1), a person operating a vehicle equipped with a muffler that produces excessive noise or with a device attached to exhaust to increase noise, may be subject to a fine of $162 for either offence,” noted Day. “Camrose Police Service is conducting a complaints driven operation to tackle excessive noisy vehicles in our community.” Day encourages the public to get involved by referring to CPS online reporting portal available on the Camrose Police Service website, (camrosepolice service.ca) and provide the following information: date and time of offense; location; vehicle make and model; licence plate; description of the driver; and the description of the driving activity observed. Residents are reminded to collect information about the offending vehicle and operator only if safe to do so. Complainants will be required to provide their contact information which will be updated with results of police compliance checks. “They may also be required to provide a statement should they wish a violation be issued in relation to the complaint,” said Day. “In the case where a violation has been issued and the subject charged enters a not guilty plea, the complainant may be required to attend court and testify to their observations.” The public can also assist in identifying “hot spots” of which police should be aware. “When providing the police with these locations, we ask that you also provide the time and day of the week these specific areas are causing the most grief.” By providing this information to the police, residents can ensure that everyone can enjoy a peaceful walk or evening in their yard or on their deck.

Agencies come together in joint initiative By Lori Larsen
Residents in and around Camrose may have been a little curious about all the extra air traffic occurring during the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Submitted Camrose Police Service and Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP, along with other law enforcement agencies, partnered up for a joint operation.
Offering eyes in the skies, the RCMP air support services was part of a multifaceted joint initiative that involved several law enforcement agencies in the area and resulted in an overwhelmingly successful operation. Between 2 p.m. and midnight, Camrose and Wetaskiwin RCMP and Camrose Police Service partnered with: Wetaskiwin Integrated Traffic Unit; Community Peace Officers from the Cities of Wetaskiwin and Camrose, the Counties of Wetaskiwin and Camrose, and the Town of Millet; Wetaskiwin District and Camrose District Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branches; Canadian Pacific Railway Police; Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission; RCMP Air Services; and RCMP Central Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit. The objective of this initiative was to conduct proactive enforcement, warrant apprehension, offender management and interagency cooperation with an emphasis on community engagement. Boat patrols were conducted on Pigeon Lake, bike patrols were conducted in numerous communities in the area, and checkstops were also conducted in Millet, Wetaskiwin and Camrose County. The one-night initiative proved very productive for law enforcement resulting in: 19 warrant apprehensions; 17 criminal code investigations; 85 provincial tickets; 88 offender address checks; over 170 Mandatory Alcohol Screening Demands; eight seized wall-

Speech has 6,783 empty words By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency
Last week’s Speech from the Throne was nothing but an insult to Albertans. Each and every one of the 6,783 words which comprised the speech were empty. Premier Jason Kenney said it best–that the speech “represented a full-frontal attack on Canadian federalism, on the Constitution of Canada, on provincial jurisdiction.” The speech failed to acknowledge the role that Alberta’s energy sector–the backbone of the Canadian economy–has played. It failed to recognize the crisis currently taking place in our oil and gas industry, caused by the mismanagement by the federal government. In the speech, the federal government did not mention any help for the oil and gas industry, but further said that they “will also legislate Canada’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.” It is clear that the federal government intends to compromise potential global investments in Alberta’s oil and gas industry, which inherently impedes upon Alberta’s right to develop its own natural resources. In fact, the 1982 amendments to The Constitution Act explicitly recognize the constitutional power of the provinces and territories to manage their own nonrenewable natural resources, forestry resources, and electrical energy. The Act stipulates that each province’s legislature can enact laws related to exploring nonrenewable resources, developing, conserving, and managing nonrenewable and forestry resources. And yet, the federal government made it clear that they have no regard for the Act or for defending and supporting our oil and gas industry when they introduced their trojan horse: Bill C-69. So 6,783 words, to which not a single one of them addresses the crisis facing Canada’s largest industry – the energy sector – that supports 800,000 jobs, directly and indirectly. Instead, the speech was filled with distractions of no substance. It was consumed by outlandish academic theories like intersectionality, and provided no solutions for our worsening economic state. Premier Kenney said that “all we are asking of the Government of Canada is to let this province, and our resource industries, to get off their knees and get back onto our feet during the largest economic contraction since the Great Depression.” Alberta’s government is actively working to bring the province back on its feet, which is why Alberta’s Recovery Plan–a plan that will build shovel-ready and shovel-worthy projects, diversify our economy, build a strong future for our energy industry, and create tens of thousands of jobs now–was developed and is being implemented. The federal government, on the other hand, is neglecting Alberta and our resources. While Premier Kenney continues to defend Albertans, Rachel Notley and the NDP instead took the time to attack Premier Kenney and his defense of Alberta by saying that the Premier “simply found ways to criticize” the federal government, instead of “working collaboratively with the federal government at this time.” It comes as no surprise that Notley would say that. After all, it was her premiership and her government that drove investment out of Alberta, and damaged our energy sector, causing thousands of job losses and Alberta’s economy to suffer. A Speech from the Throne is supposed to lay out the government’s priorities. It is clear that Alberta–along with our oil and gas industry–is not on federal government’s list of priorities. This speech does nothing but neglect our oil and gas industry, Albertans, and a strong federation. Alberta’s government will always stand up for our oil and gas industry, for Albertans, and for the continued success of our province.

Private land Continued from page 14
“I have, however, encountered violators stuck in places that they never should have been, who have damaged fences in pursuit of game, have littered, are camping, or are simply trespassing,” added FWEB District Officer Rinkel. In an amendment made to the Petty Trespass Act over a decade ago, any game taken while trespassing may be seized by a wildlife officer and usually is. “This provision assists in preventing parties from trespassing, and to take what was a small fine, but still keep their game.” As of Oct. 1, the fine for the first trespassing offence has risen from $287 to $500, with increasing fines thereafter and the seizure of game. Rinkel also noted, “Private property is not required to be posted or fenced, and people wanting access have to bear the responsibility of finding the landowner and seeking permission. If land is posted, that landowner can still allow hunting or other access as he/she sees fit. In a very old ‘wive’s tale’ many people still believe that if land is posted, then the landowner cannot hunt either, but this simply is not true.” While it is understandable that rural landowners may be apprehensive about any unknown persons or vehicles on their property, a degree of assurance should come from the easy identification of a Fish and Wildlife vehicle or officer. In very rare circumstances, officers have had to enter private lands to curtail illegal activities being conducted by that landowner, most commonly for offences such as illegal baiting of wildlife for hunting purposes, or unlawful confinement of wild game animals. “If we are on your land, it is because we are investigating a file, conducting compliance checks, or responding to a complaint, and we are lawfully placed in the execution of those activities. Accessing private land is part of our mandate to preserve and protect wildlife and natural resources, and we appreciate the continued cooperation of all property owners. At the same time, respecting private landowners and their property is paramount in our relationships to work together as a team. “I learned very early in my career that my actions are quite ineffective without landowner support and input, in working towards effective patrol efforts and investigations. Also, as rural crime is continually increasing, our current Government is taking very strong measures to protect property rights through programs such as the RAPID force and higher fines.”
David Robert Sederquest February 11, 1970 ~ October 7, 2010 Ten years ago, you silently left without a chance to hug or say good-bye. It seems like only yesterday that I last saw your face. In all that time, God in His faithfulness has strengthened my heart and overwhelmed me with His grace. My soul has known a peaceful assurance and a belief from deep within that God is with me and He will never let me go. As He holds you in the palm of one hand, He bears me up with His other hand. I truly know that my Redeemer lives and so shall we! Till we meet again. Love you forever, Mom

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

The three hardest things to say are: 1. I was wrong. 2. I need help. 3. Worcestershire Sauce I’d like to thank my mom for telling me that WTF means “Wow, That’s Fantastic!” Her texts are so much more fun now. I can’t tell if my neighbour has elected a new pope or if his wife has decided to start cooking. I talk an awful lot of smack for someone who tips over when putting on their underwear.

Prestigious condo with lake views
So grateful someone invented window blinds or it could be curtains for all of us! My biggest fear is that I’m married and my husband says, “Let’s cut pizza out of our diet” and I have to leave with the kids in the middle of the night. Why did Bob Prestage’s cows return to his neighbour’s marijuana field? It was the pot calling the cattle back. Procrastination is totally a good thing. You always have something to do tomorrow, plus you have nothing to do today. When one door closes, another one opens. Other than that, it’s been a pretty good car. What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter? Pumpkin π Divorced living aha moment: Realizing you can eat peanut butter out of the jar naked in the kitchen without judgment. How to tell you’re an adult: • You gain 30 pounds overnight. • You’d rather sleep than go out. • Everything hurts. • Comfort wins out over style. • You have a favourite spatula. • Everything feels like a chore. • College students look like 12 year olds. • You’re always annoyed.
