Loaves and Fishes event

…goes virtual

Sahakarini Camrose vice president Michael Mucz, left, Craig Wentland, last year’s owner of Gordon Schieck’s sandals, and president Litsa Tryphonopoulos are ready for the annual Sahakarini Loaves and Fishes event on October 24. People are asked to make a donation to Sahakarini, and then go to a local restaurant for a meal in honour of Sahakarini. Three local restaurants (Norsemen Inn, Monte Carlo and Hart House) will be offering an October 24 Sahakarini special. By doing so you support local business. You can purchase virtual tickets to this event in the form of a donation, and your name will be entered into a draw for one of four locally sourced/produced food-based door prizes. The highlight of the event is the auctioning of Schieck’s world-famous sandals. Phone or email the Sahakarini office, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. from October 21 to 24, to bid on Gordon’s sandals. Proceeds of the event go towards Sahakarini’s international projects. For more information, see the full story on page 18 of this week’s Booster.

2021 Bull Congress cancelled By Lori Larsen

The uncertainty of COVID-19 is still impacting popular events and long-time traditions, as the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) announces the cancellation of 2021 Canadian Bull Congress (CBC) Camrose. As the restrictions in Alberta with mass gatherings continue, the CRE board of directors were disappointed to have to make the announcement but are pleased to say the very popular event will return January 22nd and 23rd in 2022. “CRE, like all agriculture societies in Alberta, has had a challenging year with many tough decisions. The impacts of

dealing with COVID and the loss of all income for seven months (and counting) unfortunately means we need to make the best financial decisions possible for future sustainability” said, CRE board of directors president Mark Schneider. “We realize that CBC is an important event to all involved as well as the Camrose region but under current AHS and financial restrictions, it just was not possible to put on the event at the highest standard our exhibitors have come to expect. “It has been a brutal year for agriculture events with all major shows cancelling from Agribition to Agri-Trade and sum-

mer fairs. As with farming, agriculture shows follow the same philosophy… there is always next year.” Schneider indicated that the CRE will keep the School Education Program alive in a virtual format and are planning to launch a new MEATNANZA “Meat Draw” to keep CBC alive during that week in January 2021. “We have already begun the hard work on producing the best event possible in 2022.” For more information and updates on the Virtual CBC School Education Program and the MEATNA NZA Meat Draw visit cre.ab.ca or social media.

Actions speak louder than words as a Charlie Chaplin impersonator (David Arial) presents a donation of $5,000 on behalf of the Nordlys Film and Arts Festival organization to the Bailey Theatre. Accepting the donation on behalf of the Bailey was board president David Francouer. While the Nordlys Festival is sad to announce that the Nordlys Film and Arts Festival is postponed for 2021, they are looking forward to returning in 2022.

Students weigh in on ‘now’ norm By Lori Larsen

Chatting in cyberspace: a gift and a risk?

Okay, I admit it. I’ve been a slow adopter of cyberspace communication. Back in prehistoric times, when email started being a thing, I couldn’t see the point. I certainly did not predict that one day a chunk of every day of my life would be spent reading and sending emails. Then there was texting. One day when a friend and I were meeting her son and grandson in a park, we couldn’t find them. My friend pulled out her phone to text him and said, “What would we do without text messages?” I silently thought, “I can answer that–we have a peaceful life,” but I did not say that out loud. What made me change my mind was my adult grandson. He never answered the phone and didn’t use email. I realized that if I were ever going to communicate with him–even to arrange an in-person visit–I’d have to use text. When I finally got a new phone, I asked the people at the phone store to show me how to text. As you no doubt already know, it’s easy. The first text message I sent, back in 2015, was to my grandson: “Guess what, Ben? I’m coming into this century. I’m texting!” My grandson, who never answered the phone or replied to an email, fired back a text response in 30 seconds. “That’s cool, Grandma! This century has some useful features.”

School has been back in now for almost two months and, while things may be a little different, the cycle of teaching and learning continues, perhaps with a deeper appreciation for that remarkable process. September was a busy month for the staff and students at Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Catholic School, as it was no doubt for all schools as they settled back into classroom learning and figured out the semantics of how it was all going to work. On Sept. 30, the school held its first virtual assembly, which students viewed in their classrooms on what is dubbed as OLMP Television. The assembly included Orange Shirt Day and Seven Sacred Teaching Presentation, Student of the Month presentation, a n n o u n c e m e nt of the Mask Creation Competition, the 20192020 School Year Awards Winners, and a Terry Fox Presentation. With all the new protocols in place, school staff and students are having to devise innovative

Temporary closing

Katelynn began by expressing how, when on site schooling was temporarily cancelled, she was very upset. “I was worried it would be long term. I wasn’t expecting to come back in the fall, so going home, I found it hard to adjust.” She said the most difficult part was being motivated to learn at home, as home was normally the place to relax after a long day at school. “As the months went on, it was easier and it actually helped grades, because teachers were really forgiving and would help you out.” She added that the teachers did a fantastic job adjusting. “It was a lot of work for them to change their whole style.” Hannah agreed that having to learn from home took an adjustment for both students and the teachers. “It took the fun out of school, because a lot of it is being able to interact as a class and have a teacher there to have that back-and forthquestion period. That helps my learning–being able to hear others’ opinions and share opinions. It was difficult not having that part of school any more.”

was a little hard at first, learning from home and how to use our technology. “I am a paper/pen kind of person, so it was really hard adjusting to that, but the teachers did a really amazing job with helping students and doing one-onone calls with them trying to figure everything out.” All four students agreed and gave a shout out to all the teachers, specifically Mr. Ellert, who faced the challenges head on during his first year of teaching. Erin said that when she first heard the news about the temporary closing of schools due to COVID-19, she couldn’t believe it. “I was like, wow, this is actually happening. Now it was real that we were actually home. It was kind of a hard adjustment, doing all your work at home, because you are in your home environment. “I lost my routine. Normally, I eat breakfast, get dressed and go to school and I lost that routine. It was difficult to keep myself motivated.” She also said that while it was disappointing that she was unable to see her friends,

***

The pandemic is driving a lot of us to expand the number of this century’s useful features that we actually use, especially for communication. Zoom comes to mind. Of the circle of people I know well enough to know, there’s nobody outside of a care facility who doesn’t spend some time on Zoom. According to the BusinessApps website, in December 2019, the number of Zoom calls per day was 10 million. In March 2020, about the time lockdowns started, that number skyrocketed to 200 million Zoom calls per day. By April, it was 300 million Zoom calls per day. I can’t get my mind around those numbers. But based on the number of hours I spend on Zoom, I’m not surprised. ***

The age groups of people using Zoom is expanding. It started as a tool for business, and the age groups who used it were of working age. That’s changed. A couple of people I know have told me about spending a few hours showing their mothers, in their 80s and 90s, how to use Zoom. One woman mentioned that after she showed her mom how to use Zoom, her mom then taught all her friends so they too could visit each other and their families while staying in isolation. ***

When Zoom use skyrocketed, we learned some unsavoury things. Zoom was sending unauthorized data to Facebook. It was also found to be hoarding user data. Some calls were routed through servers in mainland China, making the calls subject to the laws of that country. And some users, who didn’t know about privacy settings, had some calls crashed by unwelcome visitors. As a result, several countries, including Canada, banned Zoom use for official government business. Zoom has since rectified some of the problems. ***

Zoom is making it possible for billions of people to stay in touch with work colleagues and friends and people they cherish during a time of isolation. It’s a gift. Zoom might be compromising our privacy or even contributing to some agency’s or country’s dark agenda. That’s not a gift. Maybe that pretty much sums up technology, 21st Century living and life. If we have eyes to see, every gift has a shadow side. If we have eyes to see, every darkness has a gift. That’s life! ***

ways to ensure learning is still occurring. T he tempora r y closing of schools in late March of this year, due to COVID-19, was more than just a bump in the road. It meant a significant change of direction and rethinking for both teachers and students alike. Four OLMP grade 11 leadership students and friend cohorts, Katelynn Baska, Hannah Hasselbohm, Erin Kontek and Gabriel Guillemette, weighed in on the impact homeschooling had and the return to classrooms this fall, and provided a take on what this year has taught them.

Hannah said that in the beginning, it was quite stressful, specifically the unknown, but said the teachers were wonderful at making sure the students were getting what they needed and progressing under the difficult circumstances. Gabriel said that in the beginning, there was so much unknown. As the world began shutting down and the word of possibly temporarily closing schools got out, it was very disconcerting. “I think that it was kind of scary hearing on the news that we were going to have to go home. The unknown of it all was awful at the beginning. It

she was able to develop a degree of independence and problem-solving that she may not have otherwise. “I could ask the teachers, but I didn’t have my friends (right there) to bounce things off. That also made me realize how important it is to have communication with others.” Returning this fall

Like many people around the world, Katelynn, Hannah, Gabriel and Erin waited with bated breath to hear whether or not students would be allowed to return to the classroom this fall for the 2020/21 school year. Continued on page 10

Since our government was elected by Albertans a year and a half ago, we have worked consistently to invest in and build up Alberta’s dynamic economy. During the spring session alone, our government saw 34 bills passed to make life better, diversify our economy and get Albertans across the province back to work. While COVID-19 has undoubtedly changed the circumstances that we are all operating under, it has not changed our government’s overarching goals or our commitments to Albertans. As we look ahead to the next session, set to begin in just one week, we are committed to maintaining this trajectory and following through on the promises and platform commitments that we made to Albertans. In order for us to continue to expand our economy, it is necessary to look outside the box and develop policies that create a space for Albertans to innovate and embrace their entrepreneurial spirit, ideally while capitalizing on our already established industries. The importance of diversification and innovation opportunities is what makes initiatives like Alberta’s Natural Gas Vision and Strategy so significant. The strategy will expand our natural gas industry by seizing emerging opportunities for clean hydrogen, petrochemical manufacturing, liquefied natural gas and plastics recycling. In expanding natural gas beyond our traditional uses, we can inject new life into the sector and create opportunities for the thousands of Albertans who work in the natural gas and related industries, including those in and around Camrose. Canada is among the top global producers of natural gas, and Alberta provides around two-thirds of Canada’s natural gas production, making us uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity and support responsible energy development for years to come. Alberta is a world leader in responsible energy development, and this initiative will only expand on that accomplishment. Multiple elements of the natural gas initiative will add to our responsible energy development, including transitioning away from some coal-fired plants, greenhouse gas reduction, support of a plastics circular economy, and the production of hydrogen. All will contribute to the goal of Alberta becoming the number one supplier of clean, secure, responsibly sourced natural gas in Canada and internationally. The Natural Gas Vision and Strategy is just one element of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, which will build on our strengths through timely and targeted policy reform that will create jobs and make Alberta more competitive on the global stage. Going into the fall session, we will keep looking for ways to support Albertans as we navigate the ongoing pandemic, as well as implement long term strategies to put Alberta in the best possible position for years to come. I am looking forward to getting back in the Legislature and seeing more bold and ambitious initiatives, like the Natural Gas Vision and Strategy being put together, and continuing to advocate for the constituents of Camrose.

CHANGING

MacDonald’s statue

to meet your needs.

By Arnold Malone

Seasons has adapted and changed with staff and resident well-being in mind. While things may look a little different, genuine caring happens here every day. It’s not just where you live but the people around you who make the difference.

Retirement Community

Now that’s a carrot

Submitted Top photo: Ross’ Flats’ resident, gardener extraordinaire and member of the River Jacks, Myra Marshall, holds up three oversized carrots grown in her garden this year. Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Bottom photo: One of the orange giants weighed in at three pounds. This little stuffed bunny puts it into perspective.

The City of Victoria has removed Sir John A. MacDonald’s statue from City Hall. Protesters in Montreal have taken it upon themselves to destroy a statue of Sir John A. Some schools have chose to remove his name. Sir John A. was not perfect. He, like all of us, had flaws. After being found complicit in the Pacific Scandal of 1872, MacDonald began drinking too much. He also accepted the push for the destructive policy of having residential schools for First Nation’s children. These wrongs are to be recognized, even if they were incubated in ignorance. There is, however, much to celebrate about our early history. Sir John A. had a long vision for Canada. After all, he was our first Prime Minister. What Canadians need to recognize is that during the period from 1800 to 1840, Canada was under threat of being swallowed up by the United States. At a very young age, Sir John A. was recognized as being unusually intelligent and responsible. At age 15, he was articling with a law firm in Kingston. He established his own law office at age 19. He became engaged in business in the 1840s, and was an alderman in Kingston from 1843 to 1846. In 1844, he was elected in the district of Kingston to Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada. During this period, he was known for his pragmatic views and his pursuit of practical goals. In the next election, he was appointed to the prestigious post of Attorney General of Upper Canada. From 1854-64, Sir John A. argued against many detractors that a federation must include the French fact. Many in Ontario saw this as a weakening of their British connection. MacDonald, along with George-Etienne Cartier and George Brown, worked tirelessly to create a federation. MacDonald believed that against the United States, provincial entities could not survive. He was the major drafter of the British North America Act that forms the framework for Canada’s present day constitution. During his first administration as Prime Minister, 1867-73, he was a nation builder. In that administration, he added to the original four provinces Manitoba, The North West Territories (Alberta and Saskatchewan), British Columbia and Prince Edward Island. Canada was born. We were, then, a free-standing dominion. British Columbia had held out for a railroad to the Pacific Ocean or they would consider joining the USA. Had BC joined the US, Canada would not have a west coast shipping outlet. The Prairie Provinces would then have had an enormous transportation challenge. During meetings in Quebec City and Halifax, the plans for a railroad to the Pacific were drafted. Imagine the challenge of persuading Central Canadians, a major federal income source, that they should support a railroad to a land that was almost void of people and, at the time, had no known resources. MacDonald brought about a program of protection for Canadian manufacturing and set in place policies to enhance the settlement of the western lands. History is about what happened. It does not need to be 100 per cent pure by the standards of a future generation. It is about both good and bad. The rewriting of history means that history is blurred. When we mess with history, we bleach the truth. It is difficult to forgive the elected people of Victoria for their decision to remove Sir John A.’s statue. As for First Nations, it is easier to understand their strong misgivings. The residential school system was wrong, even if it was a reflection of the time. It was, however, our history. We must now construct a correction. Fundamentally, we should treat no one differently from our own expectations. We have damage to correct and a past to preserve.

Housing prices drop as economy suffers By Murray Green

Housi ng pr ic es in Camrose are on a decline as Alberta continues to face COVID-19 restrictions. “As we are about to enter the fourth quarter of 2020, the ongoing battle with COVID-19 remains the major driving force behind the economy,” said Jacobus Slabbert, senior appraiser at Harrison Bowker Valuation Group in Camrose. In Alberta, most schools and businesses have now reopened, but fears of a second wave are mounting as COVID-19 infections are again on the rise. “Economic activity in the third quarter has mostly rebounded from the spring shut down and the majority of businesses have been able to resume operations under the new normal. However, the restaurant, tourist and hospitality sectors are still facing enormous difficulties due to the continuation of border closures, travel restrictions and social distancing measures,” added Jacobus. Mortgage deferrals and government support programs have helped to limit the economic damage thus far, but with many of these tools now coming to an end, the future is still uncertain. “Given the current economic climate, it is not surprising that the Camrose residential market has not gone unscathed. Overall, the average sale price, medium sale price

and number of sales have all declined in the third quarter.” The average sale price fell 5.3 per cent, which is down from the 3.66 it dropped a year ago. The median sale price in quarter three slipped 1.82 per cent from the last quarter, but 5.59 per cent from the same period in 2019. There were 94 residential sales in the City of Camrose in quarter three, which is 19 more sales than what was recorded in the last quarter, but 11 sales less than 2019 in the same time frame. There were 14 sales of more than $400,000 in this quarter, which is one more than last quarter, but two less than 2019. The average days on the market was 88 days, which is up 11 days from last quarter, but down four days from last year in the same time frame. In Camrose County, there were 25 reported acreage sales in the third quarter, which is up 12 sales compared to the spring and 14 more than what was reported in 2019. The average days on the market was 122 days, which is up 19 days compared to last quarter and up 12 days from 2019. In Flagstaff County, there were five reported acreage sales in quarter three, which is up four sales compared to the previous quarter and one more than what was reported in 2019.

Democracy and people By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

Things have been busy in the Capital over the last couple of weeks. I have been encouraged by Parliament’s ability to get back to work. This has affirmed my position that it has been a travesty that, over the last eight months, the current government seemed to do everything they could to reduce Parliament’s ability to fulfill its essential role in our nation. In this column, I want to share a submission that I made to the Provincial Select Special Democratic Accountability Committee. This committee has been tasked with reviewing a number of key elements of Alberta’s democratic infrastructure. Canada’s strong democratic tradition is not something that should be taken for granted. I will always advocate for ways to strengthen our democracy while respecting our traditions and history. In my submission, I voiced my support for citizens’ initiatives. These provide a process for policy change directly from the people. This is so important, regardless of which party is in power, as it empowers the citizenry. I also asked the committee to ensure they find the right balance in their framework to ensure initiatives are not unnecessarily disruptive to necessary stable governance, while also ensuring that the process is accessible to all engaged citizens. I also shared my support of recall legislation. This legislation plays a critical role in the ability for the people to hold a government and specific elected officials to account between elections. This is a step that gives a measure of confidence. It proves all citizens have a role to play to ensure their lawmakers are fulfilling their constitutional obligation to uphold peace, order and good governance. Finally, I made it clear that I supported the continued practice of electing senators from Alberta. As members of Canada’s Upper House in our national bicameral legislature, Senators play a vital role in the legislative process, one that would benefit from voices being chosen by the people to serve their region’s best interests. I commend Premier Jason Kenney and the provincial government for facilitating this review. It is important to understand that the involvement of people in our democratic process, during elections, and each day in between, is key to instilling trust in our legislative and parliamentary institutions. A trust that has been eroded by the actions of the federal Liberal Government’s complete disregard for our democratic institutions. If you have any suggestions for ways to make our democracy stronger, please reach out. Further, if you have questions related to COVID-19 or any program of the federal government, or just want to voice your concerns, do not hesitate to contact my office. My staff and I are here to help. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column you are encouraged to write Damien at 4945-50 Street, Camrose, Alberta T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, text 403-575-5625, or e-mail damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca.

OLMP students talk about ‘now’ norm Continued from page 4

“I was so happy, because at first I didn’t think we were going to come back,” remarked Katelynn. Then when students were allowed to return, she said there was still a bit of trepidation. “At first, honestly, I was fearful, because it was so different. I wondered if I was going to be isolated at my own desk with no friend interaction. But that is not the case. We are allowed to sit with our friends. We still get to socialize, but in a safe manner.” Katelynn was also riddled with concern over her own personal health. “I have an autoimmune problem, so I was a little nervous, but I think it is even a better environment for that.” Erin was especially happy to come back and see all her friends. “I realized how much I missed talking to my friends every day. It was nice to get back to school and be in a classroom. It is easier to learn for me in that environment.” Gabriel admits when first returning to school, it was a little difficult getting used to having to sanitize all the time and staying in their desks. “I like talking, and I talk a lot so that was hard for me. “Also, I got sick during the first few weeks. I had to go get tested which, by the way, is not that bad. Social media makes it 10 times worse, but really, it takes them two seconds and it does not hurt.” After getting tested, despite negative results, Gabriel had to remain home until her symptoms were gone, which meant missing even more school. “It was a little hard to catch up on the first day back, but my teachers did an excellent job getting the help I needed and staying with me during their lunch breaks and my lunch breaks. Now I am all caught up, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.” Hannah was glad to see the protocols the school has in place for anyone, specifically students, who may be feeling unwell. “Students are not afraid to miss things. No one would want to stay home out of fear of missing something. That is one of the benefits of hav-

ing so much put online last year, all the videos that were recorded then can be used now when a student has to stay home.” Hannah’s greatest concern with returning to school was the possibility of friendships changing over the extended period away. “The dynamic may not be the same with some people not talking and seeing each other for a few months.” However, she said it all went well, and everyone was very happy to see each other again. Masking up

One of the number one hot topics on many minds is the new face covering protocols implemented to help slow the spread of COVID-19, and high school students were certainly not immune to the debate. Erin noted, “When I heard we were going to have to wear a mask, like I suspected we would, I was like ‘it is going to kind of suck.’ But after the first week, I found it is not that bad. It doesn’t impact my learning, it just took a bit of an adjustment. It is not something that is affecting you as much as you might think.” Gabriel said that if wearing a mask is going to protect the people around you, then just do it. “You will get used to it, and it saves people’s health and lives.” Hannah added that the school has been very good about providing “mask breaks” to help alleviate some of the discomfort that may come with wearing a face covering for a long period of time. “When you are sitting alone and not near anyone, you are allowed to take it off and have a break from it. It can be annoying, so I appreciate that they give us times to take little breaks.” She added that Leadership students have taken it upon themselves to make the whole “mask wearing” fun for everyone, specifically with a Mask Competition. “I think that it is important. With us not being able to do sports or assemblies, it takes away from that school community, so finding other ways to bring everyone together is still is important.” Katelynn brought the topic of mask wearing

close to home. “Both of my great-grandparents live in long-term care. If wearing this mask means not only protecting myself, but keeping them from harm, I will. “It may not be the number one solution like the vaccine, but at least it will prevent it as best it can.” Youthful messages

In conclusion, these four amazing young people shared messages of hope and inspiration. “I was really on the edge for my own health, but I made the decision to come back and this is a completely safe place. I don’t feel unsafe at all.” Katelynn said that if anything, the measures put in place to protect everyone at the school has leveled the playing field for her. Prior to COVID-19, she was always having to be extra careful with her health and sometimes felt a little disconnected. “My decision to return is clear. Everyone has to be careful and it is no longer embarrassing.” She also encouraged people to always wear a smile, even under the mask. “We need positivity. We are all in this together. Everyone in this school has to work together to keep everyone safe.” Gabriel wanted people to know that wearing face coverings is really not that bad. “It is going to protect other people like my greatgrandmother, who I want to be able to go visit. If me wearing a mask is going to keep her safe, then I will do it. The sooner we follow those rules, the faster we will beat this thing.” Hannah reminds people to remain compassionate. “Even though there feels like there is a disconnect with the social distancing and masks, we all just need to stay together.” And finally, Erin’s message was to stay resilient. “Keep some hope and even if you are falling behind a little bit, try to keep going. “Everybody is in the same boat, and I think the world has a little extra compassion right now.” One thing is for certain, these four inspiring students already have a good grip on serving up a heap of compassion, not to mention wisdom.

Eddie Van Halen: best of both worlds

Sometime in the late 1970s, in an introspective moment, a young Eddie Van Halen mused, “Rock stars come and go…musicians play until they die.” In the wake of Van Halen’s death from cancer on Oct. 6th, this quote is stunningly apposite. Van Halen, celebrated for decades as a virtuoso showman of the guitar, was in fact a musician’s musician: Alex Carpenter, a technically gifted player, to Music, University of Alberta be sure, but also–if you lisAugustana Campus ten carefully–an intuitive and tasteful composer and performer. Eddie Van Halen was the lead guitarist for the band Van Halen, namesake of Eddie and his older brother Alex, a drummer. The band formed in 1972 in Pasadena, California. By the mid-’70s, the group had stabilized into its classic lineup: Eddie on guitar, Alex on drums, Michael Anthony on bass guitar, and the acrobatic David Lee Roth as lead singer. The group’s self-titled first album was well received, and led to a succession of albums that culminated in 1984, which brought the band commercial success and international superstardom. Roth would be replaced by Sammy Hagar by the mid-’80s and the band would go on to become one of the most popular hard rock acts in the world. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. While the band Van Halen was known for its lavish rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, struggles with addiction, and the fractious interpersonal dynamics that would cause the band to cycle through lead singers through the 1980s and ’90s, it was always Eddie Van Halen’s guitar playing that was the true signature of the group: his bright, singing tone and effortless cascades of notes characterize the band’s sound–Eddie’s guitar is unmistakable to the ear, to fans and casual listeners alike. Since the band’s earliest years, Eddie Van Halen’s technique was thrust into the spotlight by the music press and by fans. Van Halen brought “tapping” into the mainstream: playing on the fretboard with two hands, tapping out notes with his fingertips as if the guitar was a piano. The effect of this technique is to create decidedly un-guitar-like textures and to play more notes, faster. Van Halen–who held three patents for devices that contributed to his signature sound–did not pioneer tapping, but fully integrated it with more traditional, high-speed, blues-based guitar playing and showy effects like “divebombing” (a dramatic, swooping sound generated by pushing and pulling on the vibrato bar of an electric guitar), creating a unique sound that would soon be imitated by legions of aspiring rock and metal guitarists around the world (and would catch the attention of Michael Jackson, who asked Eddie to contribute a guitar solo to his smash hit “Beat It” in 1983). Listening to some of Van Halen’s classic songs, like “Jamie’s Crying” from the band’s first album, or “Panama” from 1984, what is striking is not the relentless flurries of notes, but rather how intricately constructed the guitar parts are, and how rich the colours and textures are. In “Jamie’s Crying”, Eddie’s guitar cries along in harmony with the voices through the chorus and he doesn’t feel the need to include a guitar solo; in “Panama”, the guitar shifts from a full-throated roar to glassy, ringing bell-like tones to a warm, lyrical line in the bridge that hints at a cello. When Eddie plays his solo in “Panama”, his technique and total control of the instrument are balanced with a flair for the dramatic, but also an ear for melody and tone colour. There is virtuosity, and then there is empty virtuosity. In the 19th century, when pianists and violinists such as Franz Liszt and Niccolo Paganini were dominating the concert stages of Europe, arguments arose over whether virtuosity was an essential expressive element of music– an abundance of rapid notes representing a impassioned overflowing of emotion–or merely a demonstration of technical prowess that overshadowed musical meaning. In Eddie Van Halen’s case, to quote another popular Van Halen song, you get the “best of both worlds”: a virtuoso rock star, but with a true musician’s heart and sensibility.

Residents encouraged to go online to register for pool use By Lori Larsen

During an update to City of Camrose Council on the first few weeks of the reopening of the Aquatic Centre, Community Services general manager Ryan Poole said that overall, the newly renovated facility has been very well received by patrons and has had only a few issues to iron out. “So far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. People are really enjoying the space. I have personally heard numerous comments that the staff has been helpful and friendly in helping guide swimmers to the new direction under the COVID rules.” Poole said the facility itself has been running very well overall, with just a couple issues that were quickly resolved. He noted, however, that the biggest hurdle has

been over lineups (regulated by six-feet physical distancing) to the front desk area for check in, assistance with other needs and inquiries. “We have modified the lineup so people who preregistered online or on the phone can be fast tracked.” However, he indicated that if there is an individual in the line who is registering, booking or simply making inquiries, it can backlog the lineup. “If we can get the majority of people to use the online registration and booking, it would decrease the lineups tremendously and save time,” said Poole. He did indicate that phone-in or walk-in assistance will be available for those who may not have online access, but that the City encourages would-be users to use the online pro-

cess on the City webpage at www.camrose.ca/en/livinghere/aquatic-centre. “We are asking people to be patient when trying to phone in,” commented Poole. “The phone has been very busy and so has the front counter, so the telephones often cannot be answered right away. We have added extra staff to assist in speeding things up, and apologize for any waits and thank the public for their patience.” Poole also wanted to remind pool users that they must come prepared, wearing their swimming apparel, as users will not be permitted to change into their swimsuits prior to their swim in the change rooms. “They have to come prepared to go right to their swim by wearing their swimsuits. If they

have them on under other clothing, then they take off the outer clothing on pool deck.” Poole explained that there are shelves located on the pool deck for pool users to leave their shoes and bags. Then when finished their allotted swim time (or before), they gather their belongings and go into the change rooms to dry off and change, then leave. He noted that the swim times are filling quickly, especially the public swims, and specifically the weekend swims. “They tend to be booked up three or four days in advance.” Other popular swims include morning times, water walking, water therapy and aquafit. “And, of course, certain times of days are busier than others,” he added, reiterating

the importance of registering and booking online. Currently, the pool capacity remains at 80 swimmers, but he said that within the next while, once the staff has adjusted to the new facility and the COVID regulations, they hope to be able to increase that number slightly. The aquatic staff will also be examining possible changes to scheduling, once again taking into account the most popular times and other changes as they arise.

Camrose RCMP arrest two suspects for Break and Enter By Lori Larsen

Thanks to the assistance of the public, Camrose RCMP were able to effect an arrest and lay charges against two suspects involved in a Break and Enter that occurred on Sept. 28. “A rural residential property in the area of Township Road 460 and Range Road 214 had been broken into in the early hours of Sept. 28,” said Camrose RCMP Corporal Kevin Krebs. “Once inside, the suspects did a substantial amount of damage to the property and the building.” Fortunately, the suspects had been observed

on a remote security camera and the images were distributed via social media by the victim. With the help from information from the general public, the Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP detachments and the Wetaskiwin/Camrose Crime Reduction Unit have arrested and subsequently laid charges of Break and Enter to a Dwelling and Mischief Under $5,000 against a 33-year-old male and 23-year-old female, both from Wetaskiwin and well known to police. Both suspects will appear in Provincial Court in November to answer to the charges.

“Without the assistance of the public and the RCMP specialized units, solving this crime would not have been possible,” said Krebs, thanking all involved. If you observe anything suspicious, contact your local RCMP detachment, Camrose 780672-3142. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com, or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. In the event of an emergent situation, dial 9-1-1.

We see profit sharing. The community sees free mobility aids. Last year, Vision returned more than $12.5 million in profit share payouts to our members. Wetaskiwin’s Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge received $1046. Fortunately for folks here, the Moose Lodge donated their share to the Medi-Lend, a volunteer run, non-profit that provides mobility aids to community members who need them. Now that’s paying it forward.

The group Back Porch Swing will be performing a concert at the Bailey Theatre entitled A Salute to Seniors and their Caring Circle on Oct. 18. The band was scheduled to perform in Camrose in the spring, but when the theatre closed due to COVID-19 protocols, the show was postponed. The group wanted to come and honour their commitment for a show at the Bailey. The group also appeared in Camrose a few years ago. T he members of the four-piece band sing and play mandolin, guitar, bass and fiddle. They play oldswing, folk, bluegrass and jazz-influenced music. Penny and Jim Malmberg lead

the Edmonton-based band, together with Cam Neufeld and Kevin Jacobson. The concert is sure to get your toes tapping. The Back Porch Swing will honour seniors and health care workers. The show begins at 2 p.m. and can also be watched live streamed online. The event will be approximately two hours long with two intermissions. If you are having trouble booking online live streaming tickets, contact Kelly Higgins at the Camrose Public Library. She will be offering sessions for people who are booking tickets for the first time. You can call the library at 780-672-4214 to book an appointment with Kelly.

Hauntings • Fear • Exorcisms

Get your fill of

Engaging in Jesus’s Healing Ministry for Today It’s the Halloween season – a time for little kids to dress up and get some candy! It’s just a day to have some harmless fun. There is another side to consider… Have anxiety/depression the doctors can’t help with? Hearing voices? Past traumatic events you can’t shake? COVID-19 getting you down? Pandemic or Plandemic? Unrealistic fears? Always accident prone? Can’t seem to break that addiction? Haunted houses real? Do some places in your home or work just creep you out? Your child or pet stares at nothing? Things disappear and then re-appear? What’s with all the ghost/hauntings, witchcraft and satanic TV shows? Harry Potter? Lucifer? Is witchcraft real? Are ghosts real? Did FOX News really report to the U.S. government that UFOs are real? What are they? Is the media biased? Since God is real, why is there so much evil in society? Eg: mass shootings, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, rumours of war. What happened to common sense? Is there really a satan and a host of demons running the show? One World Order? Where is the Christian Church in all of this? Seems awfully quiet. What happened? There is a good set of morals to follow from the church in the past. Their influence is weak now.

19 Covid-

Is healing and deliverance (Exorcism) real? Can Christians pray in the name of Jesus and can people be healed and delivered from evil forces? Or, are those TV evangelists just scam artists. They seem to be always asking for money. The Bible, just a bunch of guys writing long-past stories, or is it the true Word of God? How does Jesus fit into this? It says in the Bible that Jesus’s followers were to carry forth doing his work preaching, teaching, healing and deliverance. Hmmm… something missing. The near perfect crime.

Mowat raises funds for Food Bank

By Murray Green

Wyatt Mowat of New Norway has found a creative way to raise money for the local food bank. He is a 16-year-old Grade 11 student at New Norway School and during the start of COVID-19 shut downs in March, Wyatt began broadcasting from his bedroom a nightly singing show, livestreaming via Instagram. “I wanted to help people during the tough times. As a teenager, this is the first pandemic that I’ve been in. Instead of making profits, I wanted to help save the world. We are not going to be restricted to living in our homes for years and years. From the purchase of each t-shirt, the proceeds go towards the Camrose Food Bank. I don’t want any person to go hungry during these tough times,” said Wyatt. “I didn’t want to help a world organization, because it was going to be too little. I wanted to think local and of the Camrose Food Bank. During this quarantine time, we have to stand up for others and show acts of kindness.” He typically did his show Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. as a way to connect with other students stuck

at home after the closure of schools. His show evolved to a point that he would split his screen and sing with other students from their bedrooms, parked cars, or outdoors, taking requests and having fun with other teens looking for some entertainment.

The popularity of his show led to his thinking of how to turn it into a project of helping people. He also held interviews with other teens and people who motivated him such as Joedy Dalke, an ultra runner originally from

Ferintosh, who graduated from New Norway School. Wyatt had as many as 80 people watching his livestreams on any given evening. “As a parent, also at home during the start of the pandemic, I enjoyed pouring a glass of wine, prepping dinner in the

kitchen and watching his show, while he was downstairs broadcasting via Instagram. I know he brought a lot of joy to other kids feeling stuck at home,” said mom Cathy Mowat. The popularity of the nightly live broadcast created some WYMOW merchandise in the form of t-shirts. He asked three different New Norway students to design three different logos for him for which he paid them. Laurie Ramsay at Embroidery Concepts then converted the designs into heat press logos and produced the shirts on demand as orders came in and then Wyatt delivered. He created a YouTube video in May to explain why he wants to support the Camrose Food Bank. You can view it at https:// youtu.be/tQi9FgnKnkM. The main goal of this fundraiser was to make sure that everyone was fed during times of unemployment and high food prices. Now Wyatt wants to produce long sleeve shirts, masks and toques to help homeless youth. “I want to donate a toque for every one that is purchased. With colder weather coming, I want to help people keep warm.”

Sahakarini Loaves and Fishes event goes virtual By Murray Green

The annual Sahakarini Loaves and Fishes event will be going virtual this year. The fundraising event and dinner takes place on Oct. 24, but people are being asked to make a donation and then go to a local restaurant for a meal in honour of Sahakarini. Sahakarini is committed to holding its annual fall event to keep within a new normal setting. The virtual reality of the supper is designed to keep everyone safe, but participants will still be able to experience the spirit of the sharing and community of past Loaves and Fishes suppers. This year’s event will exist in the same spirit as past suppers. You can purchase virtual tickets to this event in the form of a donation. Enter the ticket names, along with your payment, and these will be entered into a draw for one of four locally sourced/produced food-based door prizes. The prizes include a large tray of homemade baklava (from president Litsa Tryphonopoulos); a food box containing locally grown/produced food items (assembled by Naomi and John Pattison-Williams); three locally made fruit pies (baked by Marilyn Murray); and a three-tiered

torte (created by Sharon Gilbertson). Door prizes will be delivered to the winner’s home in about six weeks after the event or a date to be determined by the winner. Three local restaurants (Norsemen Inn, Monte Carlo and Hart House) will be offering an Oct. 24 Sahakarini special. By partici-

pating, you support local business. You can eat in or take out. The Hart House asks that you pre-order on Oct. 23. You could also host a supper of your choice. In either case, you are encouraged to take a picture of your event and email it to sahakarini@gmail.com to be shared on the Saha-

karini Facebook page and website. In the past, the highlight of the evening is the auctioning of Gordon Schieck’s sandals. Augustana chaplain Craig Wentland purchased them last year and, despite COVID-19 restrictions, he managed to tour a few countries with them. Schieck’s sandals were

handcrafted in India and purchased by his wife Mina. They were worn around the world on missionary trips and since 2001, have become the most prestigious live auction item at Sahakarini in Camrose. Phone or email the Sahakarini office, between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., from Oct. 21 to 24, to bid on Gordon’s sandals. The final bid each day will be posted on the website (home page). The winning bid will be determined at 4 p.m. and will be posted on the website on Oct. 24 at noon. Proceeds of the event go towards Sahakarini projects. All funds raised from the annual Loaves and Fishes supper are crucial to meeting these obligations. Any additional donation for supporting Sahakarini’s overseas projects is not only encouraged, but much appreciated. Currently Sahakarini funding goes to projects such as: a not-for-profit women’s and children’s primary health care clinic in Nepal; a women’s soap making project and village distribution of biosand water filters in Africa; a women’s microloan project in India. All ticket and donation moneys will be fully credited with a tax receipt. Projects are the heart of Sahakarini’s mandate.

Ross keeps his high school driver in the family By Murray Green

Rod Ross owns the same 1947 Oldsmobile two-door coupe that he drove during his high school years. The business coupe was a popular model after the Second World War. “We bought the car in 1971 from a lady in Penticton, BC. It was a garage special. I remember driving it from Penticton to Victoria, where we lived. That is the car in which I drove to Grade 12 and my first year of university,” recalled Rod. “Actually, my brother Ian bought it for $300. He decided to go to university in Edinburgh, Scotland, so the car was there for me to drive. I remember driving to school in the car after I learned to drive. I ended up driving it the most and it has been in the family ever since,” explained Rod. “I left the car at home in the summer, and my dad kept his golf clubs in the back. He would drive it only on sunny days. If there was a cloud in the sky, he would put it back in the garage,” laughed Rod. “He did that from 1973 to 1990.” Then his dad Doug made some major improvements to the car after Rod left home. “He repaired the interior and gave it a fresh coat of paint. The motor has never been touched, well, only minor things. He repaired a little on the body and the repairs took about two years to do. It took that long because the guy who helped him only worked on it in his spare time,” shared Rod. The Oldsmobile still reflects the original colour of paint. “Dad then drove it until 1996, with the golf clubs still in the back, and then gave the car to me. I’ve

HAPPY DAYS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Rod Ross remembers his high school days with his 1947 Oldsmobile car he drove. He still loves to drive the classic, especially taking grandchildren for an ice cream on a warm day.

kept the car here in Camrose since then. Every year, I have taken the car to the annual fly-in breakfast, except this year,” said Rod. “I put the grandchildren in the back, and we go for breakfast and a drive. I drove it once a week all summer up until this year.” Rod’s dad wanted the car to give his grandchildren rides and the car has a huge back seat. “The car doesn’t have a radio in it, and that suited my dad just fine. He said he wasn’t going to put one in because it didn’t come with one and, more impor-

FUN FACTS

In 1947, more models were offered on the lowpriced Special 60 series than the other two Oldsmobile series. The eight-cylinder engine returned to the Special 60 series, and there were again 66 and 68 versions of each body style offered. Standard equipment included: safety glass, spare wheel and tire, dual horns, vacuum booster pump and cigarette lighter. The standard interior fabric was tan mixture cloth. Horsepower grew to 100 for the six and 110 for the eight-cylinder motors. Engines were either a 238 cubic inch (3.9 L) or a 257 cubic inch (4.2 L). Transmissions were either a three-speed synchromesh manual or a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic.

tantly, he wanted to talk to his grandchildren and not listen to the radio. That was a good thing.” Now, Rod does the same for his grandchildren. His Oldsmobile has a flathead six engine. “It is the same motor they used to put in the old tractors. There is nothing electronic on it that can go wrong. You should be able to fix this car with a screwdriver.” The transmission featured a new Hydro-Matic system. “Up until then, the transmissions were standard. Then in 1947, they came out with the HydroMatic, which was the precurser to the automatic. It has a neutral, a drive, a low and a reverse. It doesn’t have a park. In 1948 or 1949, they came out with the automatic, which had the park on it,” explained Rod. “It hasn’t given us a problem, the car just glides. When it hits a bump, it just slowly floats, goes back into a glide with the hydraulic shocks.” The car has a six-volt battery, so it needs all of the power to get it going. But

once it starts, it runs smooth. “I love the car and it brings back a lot of memories. It still has that old car smell to it. The car is all steel and a bit of a tank.” Rod’s children used the car on graduation and for

special occasions. “I had the car for about 15 years, so about 2005, it was starting to get some rust blemishes on it, so I had the body redone and then painted a few years later. I just had the outside worked on,” said Rod.

Reduction of outdoor ice rinks recommended By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose administration brought forward a recommendation to council during the Committee of Whole meeting on Oct. 5, proposing a oneyear trial reduction in the number of outdoor ice rinks within the city. City Community Services general manager Ryan Poole reported that currently there are 12 outdoor ice rink locations consisting of board rinks, snowbank rinks and pond rinks, which include the Mirror Lake site with two different spots within the same site. Poole indicated that the reduction in service levels and summer staff, along with fewer summer staff remaining after the summer, have impacted the parks department autumn crews and overall workloads. “They are really feeling the crunch of getting the mandatory jobs done, such as maintaining the parks, let alone preparing and getting ready for the rinks over the next month or so.”

moving the rinks in the Duggan Park area closer to the ball diamonds. “Duggan Pond is quite a steep slope to get down and poses some risks.” He noted that the downfall with pond rinks is the shortened season due to the thaw. “Board rinks normally allow for a bit longer season.” Poole said that the recommendation to reduce rinks was based upon analysis of the Recreation Master Plan and information obtained through membership in the Alberta Recreations and Parks Association, on the setups in similar municipalities. The long-term recommendation would be to have a snowbank rink in each of the north, south, east and west quadrants of the City, along with two or three boarded rinks strategically located, and then the central Mirror Lake rink. “This would allow the parks department to increase the service levels to the trail systems in the winter, which are highly

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster City administration proposes a reduction of outdoor ice rinks for a one-year trial period.

An increase in job duties and descriptions for the parks department, which now includes parks and trail maintenance at Cascades and Valleyview West subdivisions, has added to the workload. Poole explained that the existing outdoor rinks consist of a little cluster in the south central, Century Meadows area and the north area around 51 Street. “There are outdoor rinks there that are within a couple blocks of each other.” He said the City has a fairly accurate idea of which rinks are utilized more than others based on the wear and tear of the rinks observed by parks staff over the years. “They can tell since they last cleared each rink, whether or not they have been skated on.” The recommendation before council is to reduce the number of rinks by four and add one in the Valleyview area. “That area is currently under serviced,” explained Poole, “And it does consist of a younger population.” Poole also suggested

used, and increase the service level for maintaining the rinks.” City of Camrose parks department manager Ken Krueger added, “The majority of complaints that we (parks department) receive is with the trail system. Typically, after a snowfall, it takes three to five days to complete all the trails. “Reducing the number of rinks would help us give better service.” Councillor PJ Stasko inquired about the City resident who has been lending some assistance with clearing the Valleyview pond and encouraged that to continue. Poole indicated that while the City would welcome volunteers to help with some of the maintenance of the rinks, there are certain risks and liabilities involved with actual clearing, specifically of pond rinks, and that administration suggests the City remain in charge of the program, but encourage volunteering in a safe manner.

VET WEEK Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Such an increasingly diverse industry requires a broad base of expertise, and our producers rely on veterinarians to keep them informed and keep their animals safe and healthy–from minor injuries to highly contagious diseases. Rural veterinarians do more than prescribe medicine to keep animals safe and healthy. They advise on proper vaccination procedures, feeding and watering, disease prevention and sanitation.

Oct. 4 to 10 was Animal Health Week, and the Alberta government took the opportunity to thank rural veterinarians who help keep Alberta’s farm animals healthy and happy by working with ranchers and livestock producers. Alberta has more cows than it does people–about 4.5 million head, which make up more than 40 per cent of the national total. Veterinarians across the province work every day with ranchers and livestock producers to keep herds and flocks healthy. Alberta’s agriculture industry is an essential part of our heritage and a crucial contributor to the economy. In 2019, provincial livestock market receipts were $6.9 billion–the highest on record and up 6.5 per cent from 2018. The livestock industry wouldn’t be able to function without the hard work and dedication of the province’s veterinarians and veterinary technologists. “It’s tough working with large animals and massive flocks in Alberta, but rural vets work alongside our ranchers and producers to keep millions of animals healthy. Whether it’s pulling calves in the middle of winter, vaccinating or treating sick animals, vets are there for our producers and their animals. I hope everyone takes the time to thank a vet and show appreciation for their contribution to Alberta agriculture,” said Devin Dreeshen, Alberta Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. This year has been challenging for livestock producers. COVID-19 affected their operations because related human resource and transport issues disrupted the supply chain. Alberta’s veterinarians and techs were there every step of the way, advising and ensuring producers had what they needed during difficult times. “As a fellow veterinarian, I am extremely proud of the work that my colleagues in rural practices do on a daily basis to support our livestock producers in producing safe, highquality food for Albertans and so many other parts of the world,” added Dr. Keith Lehman, chief provincial veterinarian. “During A nimal Health Week, ABVMA celebrated veterinary professionals, our professionals remain committed to our essential work with all Albertans,” continued Dr. Kirsten Aarbo, president, Alberta Veterinary Medical Association.

Kodiaks take on Drumheller By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks and Drumheller Dragons might get tired of each other, but at least they are moving towards an Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) season. “This year was great from the coaches standpoint because we brought in 24 guys and started right to work. Normally, we bring in 50 guys and trim it down, but we trusted our scouts that they chose the right guys. It was great to work with 24 guys right away,” said Kodiaks coach Clayton Jardine. “The challenge is that if a player goes down, especially a goalie, you can’t bring anyone up. At some practices we only had 18 players, but we’ve gone through it all already just like schools or businesses, it is a challenge for everyone.” The Kodiaks missed goalie Griffin Bowerman in the first two exhibition games with Drumheller. “Griffin is coming back for his fourth year, so that will be fun. He will have a 17-year-old pushing him in Logan Willcott, who played a few games for us last year.” The Kodiaks also have a veteran defence to build the team around. They will be a good match for the Dragons to play against. “They are always a very skilled hockey team and it is nice to play a team that fits our caliber. The travel is good too because it keeps us out of the big centres,” said Clayton, referring to even more COVID-19 precautions. In October, Camrose and Drumheller will play each other six times as cohort teams in exhibition play. The clubs will not mix with any other teams until further notice. “I’m really excited about our rookie group. We have a few guys that can score and it will be scoring by committee (everyone chipping in),” added Clayton. “Saskatchewan is starting Nov. 1 with 50 per cent capacity, so hopefully the Alberta government sees that and gives us the go-ahead.” Earlier this year, the AJHL said they might try to get the season going by early December. However, until the province gives its go ahead, the games will remain exhibition. The target date for the regular season might be in early January due to the high number of COVID-19 cases the province has daily. The Dragons and Kodiaks will play Oct. 16 in Camrose, Oct. 17 in Drumheller, Oct. 23 in Camrose,

In memory of

Macala Jane Kneeland May 31, 1997 ~ October 13, 2004 A Child of Mine “I’ll lend you for a little while A child of mine,” God said For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she’s dead. It may be six or seven years, Or forty-two or -three.

FIELD SCOUT

Jim Brager Photo This magnificent blue heron found the highest perch to scout out the countryside in Jubilee Park on Oct. 5.

But will you, till I call her back Take care of her for me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you And – should her stay be brief – You’ll have her lovely memories As a solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay For all from earth returns, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the whole world over In my search for teachers true. And from all beings that crowd life’s land I have chosen you. Now, will you give her all your love? Nor think the labour vain? Nor hate me when I come to take This lent child back again? I fancied that I heard you say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joys Thy child will bring The risk of grief we’ll run. We will shelter her with tenderness We’ll love her while we may – And for the happiness we have known Forever grateful stay. But should the angels come for her Much sooner than we planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try – to understand.” – Author Unknown

Ronald Wesley Williams September 27, 1936 ~ September 29, 2020 The Williams family is saddened to announce the death of Ron Williams at the age of 84 years in Camrose, Alberta. Ron was born in Alix, Alberta, as the eldest son of Harold (Hod) Williams and Helen (Haggerty) Williams. He is survived by his brothers Gary (Erica) and Hal (Phyllis); his nieces and nephews Buddy (Sandi), Mark, Lance (Kyle) and Chantel (Dan); his great-nieces and great-nephews Ashley (Michael), Helen, Edward and Lawrence; and his great-great-nephew Ryker. He was predeceased by his parents and his great-niece Kourtney. Ron grew up throughout central Alberta, where his father worked for the Central Alberta Dairy Pool, and spent many happy days with his extended family in the Bashaw area. Ron touched the lives of many people in central Alberta and Saskatchewan as a teacher and school principal in numerous communities, starting in a one-room school and retiring from Drayton Valley. In retirement, Ron lived for many years in Heisler, Strome and finally Camrose. Ron was an active member of his local community, and served for many years with the Alberta Historical Society (including several terms as president), the Alberta Retired Teachers’ Association, and numerous other charitable groups. He was actively involved in local and provincial politics, running and holding the office of counsellor and mayor in Heisler and Strome. He received numerous awards for his volunteerism and community involvement, including the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal. Both before and after retirement, Ron enjoyed travelling, and saw much of the world. As a staunch monarchist and Anglophile, he made several trips to the United Kingdom and delighted his family with unique gifts upon his return. At Ron’s request, no formal service will be held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Ronald’s memory may be made to the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Honour your departed friend or relative …with a memorial gift that will do good in their name forever.

Fire Prevention Week Drive-by

By Lori Larsen

On Oct. 6, as part of Fire Prevention Week, members of the Camrose Fire Department (CFD) came out to meet and greet residents during a Drive-by “Meet the Team” event held in the parking lot of CFD. To ensure the safety of all, residents toured around the station in their vehicles, stopping at points to greet firefighters, make donations to the Fill-the-Boot for Muscular Dystrophy, grab a swag bag containing pancake mix, a smoke detector and batteries (sponsored by Camrose Fire Department Association and Alberta Wild Rose Co-op) and other goodies, and get a peek at the impressive lineup of big shiny fire trucks. This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme was “Serving up Fire Safety in the Kitchen”. Recognizing the constraints put on events as a result of COVID-19, CFD “mixed” it up this year with a “recipe” for fun with their own fire safety in the kitchen tips and down home recipes. So when frying up those pancakes from your swag bag, remember, safety always comes first. For more information on fire safety or fire education, visit www.camrose.ca/en/living-here/fire-department. Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Mayor Norm Mayer and wife Betty pull up into the Camrose Fire Department Fire Prevention Week Drive-by to make a donation, to express their appreciation for the dedication of the Camrose Firefighters, and to accept a little parting gift.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Masked up and respecting physical distancing, 13-year-old Alexandra Olson takes a minute to thank Camrose Firefighters, left to right, Richard Pattullo, Patrick St. Denis, Maven Boddy and Han Fretzie Punay for, not only their volunteer service with Camrose Fire Department, but for helping the fight against muscular dystrophy with the Fill-the-Boot initiative.

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.

OLMP numbers increase By Murray Green

Its been back to school for most of the Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS) students this fall. The EICS board of trustees received a draft report with the division’s September 2020 enrolment summary on Sept. 16. Final numbers are provided to Alberta Education by the end of September each year. This was a unique school startup for EICS with the pandemic and the expansion of St. Isidore Catholic Learning Centre to provide online learning options for Grades 1 to 12. “Our numbers are very representative of what is occurring in all Alberta school divisions,” explained EICS board chair Ted Paszek. “Even with being in the middle of a global pandemic, our numbers have remained quite consistent to last year, and we are confident that with our staff and school leaderships, our EICS students will have an amazing educational experience this year.” The school re-entry plan for EICS this September was to ensure that schools and classrooms would be a safe and welcoming place for students and staff. However, they understood the reality that not all parents were ready to send their children back to in-class learning and the need for St. Isidore Learning Centre to expand to meet this demand became an emerging priority in late August/early September.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, October 13, 2020 – Page 31

SPECIAL PRICING UNTIL OCTOBER 30 A good way to prepare yourself for parenthood is to talk to rocks, because children and rocks have similar listening habits. The older I get, the earlier it gets late. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance … the five stages of waking up. “I” before “E” except after “C”. But Science tells us otherwise … Once there was a king who was just 12 inches tall. He was a terrible king, but he made a great ruler. I got myself a senior’s GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there. It takes a village to raise a child. It takes Country Garden Liquor Store to homeschool one. Just asked myself if I was crazy. We said, “No.” Why is it that our hands have fingertips, but our toes don’t have toetips, yet we can tiptoe? If robbers ever broke into my house and searched for money, I’d just laugh and search along with them. Camrose Police Chief LaGrange pulled me over and said, “Papers.” I yelled, “Scissors”, and drove away. Breaking news! Chuck Norris has been exposed to the coronavirus. The virus is now in quarantine for the next two weeks. In my mind, I am still 29, but my back is 54, my knee is 63 and my right hip turns 76 next week! Has COVID-19 forced you to wear glasses and a mask at the same time? If so, you may be entitled to condensation. Call Wayne Throndson at 780.672.8851. Parent Sleep = Regular sleep but without the sleep. Every job has these three employees: 1. One who is always cold. 2. One who is always hungry. 3. And one who is always ready to go home. I saw my neighbour talking to her cat this morning. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I went back home and told my dog … we laughed a lot. Tips on how to fall asleep on a living room chair: 1. Be old. 2. Sit in a chair. It doesn’t matter how good of a parent you are. You will, at least once, carry a screaming demon child away from a public place. How old am I? When walking into The Tap Room, they check my pulse, not my ID. Interviewer: “So, tell me about yourself.” Me: “I’d rather not. I kinda want this job.” Did you know ants never get sick? It’s because of their little Anty Bodies! (Please don’t quit reading The Booster because of this lame joke. Thank you.)

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Stunning home and property Matthew Mayer

By Lori Larsen

This home is stunning from the moment you walk up to the immaculately kept yard to the spacious entryway where you can comfortably greet guests. Follow subtle toned wood floors through to the living room where a cozy gas fireplace invites conversation and cuddling. From the living room, move into a large dining area that opens into the well appointed kitchen with plenty of cabinets, updated appliances, a built-in desk or coffee bar area, and a moveable centre island. An abundance of windows allows warm sunlight to flood the area, and a patio door leads you out to the covered back deck where you can appreciate the views of your gorgeously landscaped backyard. Enjoy a cooler fall evening gathered around the firepit. Back inside, in the evening you can retreat to the massive master bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet and your own private en suite featuring a luxurious corner soaker tub. Another

bedroom could be used as a home office, and a three-piece bathroom and main floor laundry complete living space on the main level. Moving down to the lower level, you will find a large games area, family room, two more bedrooms and a threepiece bathroom. In-floor heating is a welcome addition on cooler winter days. This is the perfect space for your older children, or it can provide the comforts of home for in-laws. This property, situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, is well worth the investment. Not one, but two garages make it a home mechanic’s or hobbyist’s dream. There is a large double attached garage with heated floors, and an oversized heated detached garage with back alley entry. There is plenty of parking inside and outside for all your vehicles, including a large RV pad. This absolutely beautiful home with oversized property is located at 640630 Avenue, is priced at $549,000, and is an incredible find. For a private viewing, contact Matthew Mayer at:
