City employees test positive for COVID

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose announced on Saturday, Oct. 31 that a few City employees tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, affecting the operations of the City’s Aquatic Centre, shinny hockey and City Hall.

The Aquatic Centre and City Hall were closed to public at noon on

Oct. 31 to accommodate a deep sanitization.

The Aquatic Centre and Shinny hockey are closed to public until Nov. 16.

City Hall is closed to public until further notice.

The City is following Communicable Disease Policy and advice from Alberta Health Services for the required procedures when a staff mem-

ber tests positive for COVID-19. All appropriate control measures, including contacting employees who have been in close contact with the employees who tested positive and deep sanitization of work areas.

For updated information, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

AHS guidelines for events

By Murray Green

Alberta Health Services (AHS) will engage event organizers in the process of notifying contacts exposed to COVID-19 at an event.

When AHS identifies a positive case who attended an event with 10 or more participants, AHS will notify the organizer of the event and provide that organizer with written notification that the organizer will be directed to send to all event attendees, by email, within 24 hours.

As of Nov. 2 , Camrose has eight COVID-19 cases and the County of Camrose has four.

This change will improve the efficiency of the close contact notification process for events that

pose a risk of rapid spread of illness, such as sports tournaments, weddings, church socials and other gatherings of 10 or more people.

Previously, AHS has been contacting all affected event attendees by phone.

Where email addresses are not available or notification by the event organizer is not possible, AHS will continue to make those phone calls. AHS will also continue to directly notify close contacts of cases who were exposed outside of any event.

AHS appreciates the support of all Albertans in managing the risk of spread associated with these events. Albertans are encouraged to con-

tinue limiting their social engagements, and follow all public health measures when interacting with other Albertans.

Albertans who have symptoms of COVID-19 are reminded to self-isolate immediately, and visit www.ahs.ca/covid to complete a self-assessment and book an appointment for COVID-19 testing.

To ensure event organizers are aware of risks, and are taking proactive steps to protect event attendees, AHS has established a new webpage at www.ahs.ca/events.

For more information on the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, all Albertans can visit www.ahs.ca/covid.

R&K Services…

20

Years Ago

Early November, 2000:

Twenty years ago, Ron Fischer and his daughter Kim were both working for an Edmonton firm which had a location in Camrose.

Ron was a highly experienced journeyman Refrigeration and Air Conditioning technician and Kim was the office manager. Neither Kim nor Ron wished to carry on with the corporate culture of the time and both felt they needed a major life change. Kim announced to her dad that she was going to move on from her role, and after a few moments of thought, “If you’re going, I am too!” Ron told his daughter. Which naturally lead to, “Maybe we should start our own business!”

November 21, 2000:

Ron tackling a refrigeration problem circa 2003 2012: After decades of lifting, bending, crawling into tight spaces, twisting tools and working 24-7, as required, Ron made the decision to ease out of on-site work and focus on in-house operations. Who could they hire to fill those shoes?

Shortly thereafter in 2012: Terry Fitzgerald, who had previously mentioned to Ron that he might be interested in making a career move, came to mind. One thing lead to another and…presto – Terry jumped right into the role. This locally owned and operated small business was growing!

R&K Services was launched. Company assets: two skilled individuals with one Suzuki Sidekick (mini) SUV, Ron’s 2020: Kim made the decision to work from home. Janet own tools and a folding ng ladder. No budget in August to take care of day-to-day W. was hired h for initial advertising or promotion.

Ron works diligently in the shop (but office duties. d “All we could do was word of doesn’t doesn mind the odd day off).

Tiny perfect moments

So there I was, folding laundry. And then I noticed I was feeling kind of a quiet satisfaction. It was a mundane task, but I liked that I was bringing a bit of order out of the crumply pile of warm laundry, fresh out of the dryer, folding and smoothing, hanging things up.

“Enjoy” might be over-stating it, but it was quietly satisfying. And I had a flashback to a friend– someone who has died. She taught me the art of the tiny perfect moment. ***

If all you knew about my friend was her income, you’d say she was living in poverty. Based purely on the numbers, “poverty” would be accurate. And yet my friend had more joy per hour than anyone I have ever met.

She had a raucous laugh. Another friend called it a “gin and cigarettes laugh”. You know the kind of laugh–it fills up a room and it’s infectious.

In the later years of her life, my friend lived in a cabin in a little enclave with a few other cabins, overlooking the ocean. When you visited her, you’d come in the back door. As soon as you stepped into her cabin, you could look across to the front of the cabin through wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling windows.

You’d walk across the cabin, step out onto the deck, look down, and be looking at the Pacific Ocean.

Close to the shoreline were several little islands.

On those islands, eagles nested.

The little enclave had a custom. No matter what was going on, if anybody saw an eagle, the person would shout, “Eagle, eagle, eagle!” and everything would stop. Conversations would stop. Activities would stop. Everyone would just stop and watch whatever the eagle was doing–flapping its wings, gliding, diving for fish, riding the wind–it was amazing to watch. Tiny perfect moments.

Eliminate waste

First of all, if AHS/ Minister Shandro claims to be looking for “efficiencies” by eliminating waste, duplication and nonessential spending to fund government’s key priorities, while ensuring high quality, frontline services for Albertans,” as per the MacKinnon Report (2019), which cost Alberta taxpayers millions, this must start at the top of the salary pyramid in all ministries (please take note, Premier Kenney), not just the bottom echelon of Alberta Health staff, which supports the whole frontline system (especially housekeeping staff who scrupulously protect patients, nurses, doctors and support medical staff during this COVID-19 pandemic).

CTV News tells Albertans that there are 900 bureaucrats on the Health Sunshine List (11 vice presidents, 571 directors, 204 managers and many other leadership-type positions), which is where Shandro must start (i.e.

AHS president and CEO’s annual $677,785). And, it won’t take long to rack up the “efficiencies” recommended by the MacKinnon Report up there at the top.

Plus, minister Shandro’s AHS cut of 11,000 AHS staff (supposedly to save $600 million) does not add up. The Blue Ribbon Panel’s specified $600 million cut to annual spending was not specifically in health, but the whole Alberta budget, with the rejoinder that there be no new spending increases in order to eradicate Alberta’s deficit.

The proposed $600 million health cut equates to an annual salary of $54,549 per person including EI, pensions and benefits. According to Shandro’s numbers, the current employees must be earning in excess of $100,000 each, per year. That is hard to believe.

Transferring this to private industry means that those 11,000 workers cut would have to work for free, if the private com-

panies would even hire them, and the companies/ contractors hiring staff to do these jobs would have to forego overheads and profits. That is not likely to happen either.

Assuming that the private companies pay $17 per hour for each these same 11,000 staff and assuming fixed cost of 30 per cent to cover overheads, WCB and EI, this amounts roughly to about a $5 million cost to the private contractors. So where are the savings/efficiencies? Shandro’s 11,000 cut looks like a hidden way to generate revenue (aka “rents”) from the taxpayer?

Show me the numbers, because Mr. Shandro’s numbers and his statements do not make sense.

Franco Terrazzano, Canadian Taxpayers Federation, tells us that a 20 per cent cut to those salaries on the Sunshine List would recoup $36 million for AHS. T. W. Leithead, Bawlf

***

My friend had dozens of tiny perfect moments every day. Not an hour went by that she didn’t notice something that made her laugh or brought her delight. The cup of bold black coffee. The typo in the little community paper. The neighbour’s tiny dog that growled fiercely. (She called him, “The Man.”) Sunsets over the ocean. The cartoon of a globe with the caption, “Pray for whirled peas” (okay, you had to be there).

The last days of her life were in a palliative care ward. At that stage of her care, visiting rules were loosened and she had many visitors. From her room came the sound of laughter–not what you’d expect on a palliative care ward.

We visitors would save up little tidbits of stories to tell her so we could hear her laugh. It did not surprise us that the palliative care staff seemed to have many reasons to visit her room. She was still having a good time. And then she simply fell asleep one last time and slipped away. ***

At this time in the life of the planet, in the life of humanity, many things are going on that we wish were not going on. We’re tired of it. We’ve been tired of it for awhile. Much of what is affecting us is totally not within our control.

If ever there was a time to pay attention to tiny perfect moments, now is that time.

If it’s a cup of bold black coffee, so be it.

If it’s geese having a raucous conversation before they head south, so be it.

If it’s a terrible pun, a groaner, so be it.

If it’s the last of the Halloween candy that we bought too much of, so be it.

If it’s a moment of quiet satisfaction folding laundry, so be it. ***

I’d love to hear from you! If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com.

We see profit sharing.

Tracey sees seed money for her next venture.

Last year, Vision returned more than $12.5 million in profit share payouts to our members. Tracey’s commercial property development company, Don_Syl Holdings Ltd., got a whopping $20,430. Tracey has been a happy Vision member for two years. She says she likes the personalized service she gets at the branch – it makes her feel special. That ‘found money’ feeling she gets from her profit shares cheque feels pretty special too.

Shelter advocates for Family Violence Prevention Month

By Lori Larsen

Whether in a garden digging soil, riding a bike, bending pipes or playing the pipes, working on a vehicle, mowing the lawn, impersonating Elvis, playing superheroes, riding a tractor or horse, playing tennis, filling up the recycle bins, racing to a call for help, or running the City, men of Camrose and area “walked” up to the plate for the annual Walk A Mile (WAM) campaign in support of Camrose Women’s Shelter.

The annual event is held to raise awareness on the serious causes, effects, and remediations to men’s sexualized violence, while raising funds to support local women’s shelters.

This year, the Camrose Women’s Shelter team had to get a little creative due to the cancellation of gatherings, parades and events, so decided to go virtual.

Men of Camrose and area were asked to submit videos of themselves doing whatever it was they wanted, while wearing red high heels. There was no shortage of imagination, and definitely no shortage of generosity.

“Our virtual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes was a huge success for a first ever online version of this event,” said Camrose

Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear.

“There were 70 walkers, many for the first time, who raised $20,000.”

The programs and services available at the Women’s Shelter are made possible, in a large part, through the generosity of the community supporting events and fundraisers.

This year posed special challenges for the Women’s Shelter to find a way to still involve the community, but in a safe and healthy manner.

“When our organization began planning WAM this year, I was both skeptical about what an online event would turn out like, and cautious as I was also very aware of the economic pressures that COVID-19 has placed on many in our community,” commented Rear. “But as one wise person told me, ‘those who have the ability and the heart to give will always find a way to give, and those who don’t, wont.’

“It turns out that because of the online event–which encouraged men to work, walk, ride, or play in their red high heel shoes in their daily lives, doing what they do on a regular basis, 70 men turned out for the event.”

Rear said that was

Family Violence Prevention Month proclamation signing

On Oct. 29, a proclamation declaring November as Family Violence Prevention Month was signed by Camrose County Reeve Cindy Trautman and City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer. Pictured left to right, back row are Charissa Scott, Camrose Women’s Shelter; Stacey Olstead, Camrose Association for Community Living; Constable Kelly Bauer, Camrose Police Service; Maralyn Shepley, Service Options for Seniors board member. Front row, City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer; Dr. Pamela Woodman, president of board for Family Violence Action Society; and Camrose County Reeve Cindy Trautman.

more than the Shelter has ever had turn, out since Camrose began the event.

“These men were excited to be a part of WAM this year. Every walker turned in a thoughtful, creative video or picture depicting an area in their lives they felt a difference could be made by wearing red high heels in support of victims impacted by the longstanding effects of domestic violence.”

The videos were uploaded to the Camrose Women’s Shelter Facebook page, in

fact, at last check, some were still available for anyone to view and sponsor any of the participants.

“That wise person was right,” smiled Rear. “Many from Camrose and the surrounding communities gave to our cause with a willing and able heart.”

Opening people’s hearts and minds is a step in the right direction.

Join others across the country as communities, once again, come together in November, during Family Violence Prevention

Month, to build awareness and help end family and domestic violence.

If you know anyone who is the victim of family or domestic violence, encourage them to contact the Camrose Women’s Shelter for support and assistance by telephoning 780-672-1035 or toll free 1-877-672-1010 or emailing crisis work@camrose womenshelter.org.

NOTICE

Please wear a mask at the Thrift Shop It appears some folks feel that wearing a mask for 15 to 20 minutes while shopping at the Thrift Shop is a real hardship.

There are several good reasons for this policy, and the first one is to protect our staff and customers from contracting the coronavirus.

The Thrift Shop is a congested place, and social distancing is not very practical, hence the need to wear masks. Should one of our staff contract the virus, we would have to shut the store and sanitize everything – a costly procedure. This has nothing to do with individual rights or free speech, and the rumour that next we would force you to eat broccoli is also untrue.

All of the Thrift Shop’s profits go to needy folks in Camrose and area, and to this point, we are well on our way to donating $3 million to folks in the area. Last month alone, $7,500.00 was donated to two worthy causes, and we are in the process of establishing a substantial fund with Battle River Community Foundation to assist a local charitable organization in perpetuity.

We value our dedicated, efficient staff, and we would like to continue contributing to the community as we have in the past.

Our donors and customers are what has made this possible, and we appreciate all who help us to help others.

To the gentleman who took the time to phone the store to “ream out” our manager: “You owe the lady a bouquet and an apology.”

Teen grief program

By Lori Larsen

The Prisoner

While the world continues to experience uncertainty and difficult times, the strain is impacting the mental health of many. Add to that personal loss, and the result can be overwhelming.

In an effort to reach out and offer support to teens age 16 to 20, the Hospice Society of Camrose and District and the Camrose office of the Canadian Mental Health Association is offering a free four-week program, Thrive: A Teen Grief Support Group.

“The goal of the program is to encourage teens to come forward and join a group with members around their age experiencing the same feelings of loss,” explained Hospice

Society of Camrose and District program and grief and bereavement coordinator Bill Harder.

“Lots of parents may say their teen really needs to talk to somebody, but it isn’t necessarily the teen who is saying that. It takes a lot of vulnerability and is not an easy sell to teens.”

The program will run Thursdays, Nov. 12 through Dec. 3, from 4:00 until 5:30 p.m. at the Mirror Lake Centre, lower level (5419-49 Avenue), and will accept eight participants.

The facilitators are Harder and registered art therapist and Hospice volunteer Nikki Featherstone (contracted by the Canadian Mental Health Association CMHA).

HALLOWEEN FUN Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster On Oct. 29, schools across the City were experiencing an influx of spooky, cute, mystic and superhero characters, as some students donned Halloween costumes to finish off the week in a spooktacular way and welcome the official haunting day.

Then on Oct. 30, the City of Camrose Recreation and Culture department held a free Halloween Skate at the Border Paving arena from 9 until 11 a.m. Little trick-or-treaters spun up some fun on the ice.

As Oct. 31 rolled in, interesting characters could be spotted all over the City, including retail businesses that got in the spirit.

Friends give Mitchell a new trike, shed

By Murray Green

Mitchell Wiens was devastated when his only mode of transportation, a threewheeled bicycle, was trashed on about July 26.

He discovered the spokes were broken on his trike, and then learned the tires were flattened. Life became more difficult for Mitch without a way to work, shopping and enjoying his mode of transportation. He treasured that trike for the past four years.

“I met Mitchell a few years ago and I’d always seen him riding his bike around the City. We became really good friends after I had done some locksmithing work on the building he lived in. We started hanging out together and the friendship grew from there,” recalled friend Eric Labrosse.

“It was heartbreaking, to be honest,” added Eric, when he learned of the damage to the trike. “When you see someone depend on his bike that much, it is heartbreaking to hear that someone or people would do that to a disabled person like that.”

Community members quickly rallied for Mitchell.

The trike was repaired at a local cycle shop. He was out $120 for the repairs, but several people chipped in to help pay for the damage.

Then they rallied again on Oct. 24 to build a new shed to house the bike to avoid a similar incident in the future. “He chains his bike to the fence behind the apartment building. Mitchell told me he was worried about it happening again and I could see it was bothering him. He started taking the

bike into his apartment for safe keeping,” shared Eric.

It is a trike, so it is not an easy task to get it into the building and on to the elevator and into his place. “He has enough trouble getting around without getting the trike in and out of his apartment every day. So I decided to write a letter about Mitchell and showed it to businesses around town and friends. I explained what I was doing and they wanted to get involved.”

Not only did Eric round up a crew to build the shed, he collected funds to buy Mitchell a brand new bike. “Some people donated money, while others donated time, and it took off from there. I collected just enough to cover the costs. He has been a really good friend to me, so I had to do this for him. A few months back, he brought gifts for me. When his bike was vandalized, I had broken my cell phone.

He came over to my house and gave me his phone. He was more worried about me than himself. That sparked me to do something good for him. For the community to come together, it means the world to Mitch. It wouldn’t have happened without the volunteers, and I’m grateful for that.”

Shed builders and other volunteers assisted to help Mitchell. They included Kevin Morcom, Miles Degenstein, Wanda Hein, Victoria Hein, Tara Moxley, Mike Kissick, Darien Cameron, Labrosse and Wyatt O’Donnell.

Donations came from Blain Fowler, Camrose Booster; Tara Moxley; Shawn Willms, Norsemen Inn; the Labrosse family; the Bialowas family; Roland Masters; Jason Heise, Gemini Centre; Terry Aboughoushe, Rayaz Gifts; Labrosse with Camrose Locksmithing and Sign; Rob Hauser, Home Hardware Building Centre; Mardy Finch, DJ Ilg, Canadian Brewhouse; and the Camrose Wellness Collective. Others

who helped with services were Char Hassey; friend Lawrence Firingstoney who kept the secret; Peter Stevenson; JAG Security with Allan Parker and Dan Lumness; Camrose Police Service; and the Camrose community for coming together to make it all possible.

Eric wants the community support to come full circle. Since Mitchell has a new trike, they are thinking about donating his old one to someone in the community who needs a trike for getting around Camrose.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Eric Labrosse gathered a work crew to help Mitchell with a new trike and shed.

RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE ORGANICS PICKUP

Activities for all ages

By Lori Larsen

Recognizing that COVID may have people doing things a little differently and not gathering for large events as much, the staff at the City of Camrose Recreation and Culture Department have come up with some new programs to keep residents active and connected.

“The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre has been very busy,” noted City of Camrose Recreation and Culture manager Tanya Pattullo. “Dance started up in full force in September, following all Alberta Health Services (AHS) guidelines.

It has been really great to see the dancers getting back to what they love.”

Pattullo explained that all of the AHS recommended protocols have been put into place, including stickers on the floors spaced six feet apart, sanitizing and cleaning procedures, and social distancing.

“Because we have such large spaces here (Chuck MacLean Arts Centre), they are being used for lots of meetings and classes and birthday parties–different uses by the community,” said Pattullo, adding that the larger spaces allow people to spread out more.

The Recreation and Culture department has developed a variety of different classes and activities in which both adults and children can participate as well.

City of Camrose Recreation Program coordinator Rachel Gulley explained, “We are starting up some adult arts and crafts sessions a couple times a month on weekday evenings beginning midNovember.

Gulley said the classes will involve some arts and crafts projects for participants to do, such as creating seasonal items, but that they are always open to suggestions for new ideas or projects.

If you have a suggestion or a particular interest you would like to pitch for the adult arts and crafts night, email recreation@ camrose.ca.

“This program keeps people connected,” remarked Pattullo. “Sure, people can do these things at home by themselves, but this way they are connecting.

“Because we have worked so hard these last few months getting all the protocols in place for COVID-19, we feel like this (Chuck MacLean Arts Centre) is a completely safe environment. We follow all the restrictions and we have worked hard at developing them and implementing them.”

Gulley added that the user groups have also been very good at following all the protocols.

Children activities

The City Recreation and Culture department is especially attuned to the need for children to have fun and safe activities, and that the programs offered are aimed at getting children out while giving parents a bit of a break.

“The Pop Up Parks in the summer were a great success,” said Gulley.

“They provided some fun activities for children and families, so we are planning similar ones in the winter. During the winter break, we will be doing more pop-up, drop-in family activities, and we are hoping to do as many outdoors as possible, weather dependant.”

Gulley said the goal is to get people outside enjoying the many trails, parks and spaces the City has to offer. “It would be a nice release for families, rather than being stuck inside all the time.”

If you are looking for a few ideas to keep school children busy during noschool days, the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre staff has developed some fun activities that cover a variety of science and arts and crafts projects. Participation is limited to 15 children (per session), ages 6 to 12.

“It includes arts, crafts, science, technology, even kitchen activities,” said Gulley. “This gives children something else to do and socialize a bit, while learning something.

“And it is easier to offer them in the big spaces here at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre because we are able to physically distance the attendees.”

Gulley explained that this program differs from the previous Out of School Daycamps in that the activities are more specialized and focus on one subject or craft, and it is not a full day.

“This gives us a chance to get those children who are excited about a specific area, such as science or art.”

The following are a few of the upcoming activities offered at the Chuck MacLean A rts Centre.

• Architecture activities, Nov. 12, from 1:30 until 3 p.m.

• Giant paper popsicle, Nov. 12, from 9:30 until 11 a.m.

• Ocean salt art, Nov. 13, from 9:30 until 11 a.m.

• Clay wall hanging, Nov. 16, from 9:30 until 11:30 a.m.

• Kitchen science, Nov. 16, from 1:30 until 3 p.m.

• Magnetic activities, Nov. 17, from 9:30 until 11 a.m.

• Dessert on a stick, Nov. 17, from 1:30 until 3:30 p.m.

The new album Love and Leave You by the Edmonton-based folk duo 100 Mile House was to be released this spring, followed by a tour to promote it. COVID-19 put a stop to the idea of touring, until now.

The band was named a Western Canadian Music Award winner for Roots Duo /Group of the Year and received a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for Ensemble of the Year.

Assessment Model Review

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

Can anyone be a Philanthropist?

ABSOLUTELY!

Philanthropy is a marvelous quality that we all have within us. It’s a generosity of spirit, a desire to help, and a firm belief that you can make a real difference in your community regardless of how much or how little you have to give.

Jon and Laura-Joy Lindstrand, philanthropists, have the spirit. They are shown in conversation with Imogene Walsh, Past Chairman and Ambassador of the Battle River Community Foundation.

Contributing to the growth of this community is very important to the Lindstrands, especially since Camrose and surrounding communities have helped make them who they are today. Knowing that their contributions will help keep their community safe, fed, healthy, educated, and even entertained is amazing. Being parents keeps them focused on the future, and their BRCF investment will provide opportunities for their son’s

generation. They feel that donating is simple and rewarding. They also feel that BRCF provides solid stewardship of their contributions with little overhead, so the money they donate gets right back to their community. For the Lindstrands, in this time of such uncertainty, it is important for them to build hope by investing in future generations.

The Battle River Community Foundation can help you fulfill your philanthropic dream – big or small – right here at home. We can help you make your dream a reality.

Philanthropy resides in everyone, and together we can make it flourish right here in our own backyard.

Contributions received before year end will receive a charitable donation receipt that can be applied against your 2020 income taxes.

Contact one of our Board Members or Ambassadors or call the office today, and let’s get started!

Second World War veteran shares loss

By War Amps

On Remembrance Day this year, many Canadians will be reflecting on the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Among those will be war amputee veteran Bob Gondek of Toronto, who also carries a physical reminder of that pivotal time in history.

At the age of 96, Bob can still vividly recall serving alongside the Allied Forces with the 2nd Polish

Corps during the Italian Campaign.

In 1944, he was based outside Loretto, Italy, when heavy gunfire broke out. “Without any order, I crawled up to them (the enemy) and threw a grenade,” said Bob. “I acted instinctively.” After a short period of silence, the enemy began firing mortars. “I remember an explosion and the smell of gunpowder,” he says. “I then realized that my weapon was gone

and, in the place where my hand held the machine gun, there was nothing–I had lost part of my left arm below the elbow. I felt like I was dying because my whole life flashed before my eyes.

“I’m grateful that I have been able to take part in these ceremonies. It’s important to me that I pay tribute to my fellow veterans and all those who lost their lives,” said Bob.

Last week, our government was very pleased to announce the completion of the Assessment Model Review (AMR), resulting in a model that strikes a fair balance between municipalities and the oil and gas industry.

When Minister Tracy Allard was sworn into Municipal Affairs on Aug. 25, her first decision was to hit pause on the review to do more consultations.

I fully supported this decision as I felt that the review needed a better understanding of the concerns felt in municipalities, while at the same time, we needed mechanisms in place to keep the oil and gas industry viable in our province.

The new model does just that. After consulting with over 300 municipalities across the province, including Camrose County, Beaver County and Flagstaff County, and several industry and municipal stakeholders, a decision was made that can appeal to both sides.

To support the energy sector, no property taxes will be charged on new wells and pipelines for the first three years to foster investment for the industry. The Government of Alberta will also eliminate the well drilling equipment tax to encourage more drills in the future, contributing to job creation in our municipalities.

We will also be reducing assessments on less productive wells to reflect their value and keep the interests viable. The measures initiated through the AMR will provide some much-needed certainty to investors, municipal government, and local taxpayers.

With the AMR complete, municipalities can adjust their operating budgets to make up for the now anticipated changes to their tax revenue from the energy industry, which are much more manageable than presented in the original assessment review scenarios.

Given the difficult realities that we’re all facing right now, a compassionate and collaborative solution, like the one reached with the AMR, is exactly what Alberta needs. The resulting model shows what can happen when all sides of the debate come together, willing to cooperate and find a solution that is in the best interest of the province as a whole.

Throughout the review, I’ve been in frequent contact with Minister Allard, advocating for in-depth consideration of the needs of the municipalities in Camrose as well as our local industry partners.

Reaching such a compromise was only possible because of input and cooperation from multiple industry representatives, municipal leaders, and stakeholders, including the Rural Municipal Association, the Alberta Urban Municipal Association, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Explorers and Producers Association of Canada, the Canadian Energy Pipelines Association, the Canadian Property Tax Association, The Alberta Assessors Association and more.

I’m grateful to the minister, municipalities, and industry representatives who came together to make this result possible. I also want to thank the many constituents who used their voices to ensure that their concerns were considered in the review process. Collaboration and consultation are certainly what good democracy is built on.

My colleagues and I are proud of the compromise that Minister Allard was able to strike between the two interests, and I look forward to seeing a long-term solution developed through further collaboration between these important stakeholders and our government.

General hunting

By Lori Larsen

Nov. 1 marked the beginning of the general hunting season, which includes the use of firearm, crossbow or bow and arrow in Wildlife Management Units in and around Camrose, unless otherwise prohibited.

Hunters are advised to check the Alberta Hunting Regulations 2020 for complete details on: important changes for 2020, Wildlife Management Units descriptions, maps, federal firearms legislation, definitions, licencing, outfitting and guiding, prohibitions, big game and game bird seasons, and game management.

Anyone wishing to hunt on private or leased land, whether posted or not, must first contact the landowners or lease holders and seek recent permission from them. Any persons guiding hunters must advise the landowners that they are guides/outfitters with clients when obtaining permission.

Once permission is granted, hunters need to use respect by causing as little disturbance to the land as possible, ensuring fences, gates and other items on the property are left in the same condition they were found prior to access, and abide by any rules or requests made by the landowner or lease holder.

Hunters are advised to use a County map (available at most County offices) of the area in which they wish to hunt to determine if the property is private land, who owns the property, or if the property falls under Crown land.

Hunters do not require permission to hunt on Crown land, but are reminded to use respect and cause as little disturbance to the land as possible.

Hunting is a privilege afforded residents and nonresidents of Alberta, controlled by laws and regulations that not only protect natural resources, but protect the sport for others.

Report any suspected poaching or serious public or private land abuse through Alberta Report A Poacher at 1-800-642-3800.

Film screening for Bye Bye Blues on Nov. 10

By Lori Larsen

The Bailey Theatre and The Camrose Booster will be commemorating all those who sacrificed so much during wartime with the screening of the 1989 Canadian film Bye Bye Blues on Nov. 10, beginning at 7 p.m. (Doors will open at 6 p.m.)

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, seating will be limited to 100 attendees.

Admission is free, but donations will be graciously accepted at the door.

The film pays tribute to those on the home front waiting for loved ones to return from war.

It is a masterful piece of film art directed by Edmonton-born filmmaker and director of the film, Anne Wheeler.

The film was produced by the Alberta Motion Picture Development Corporation, with assistance from Allarcom Limited, an Edmonton company.

Set during the Second World War, the film follows the life of Daisy Cooper, played by Rebecca Jenkins, after she returns to her small hometown in Alberta, when she and her husband, Canadian army officer, Teddy, played by Michael Onkean, are split up by the Japanese invasion in Hong Kong.

Jenkins does a superb job of acting the part of a young wife, living on the prairies and struggling to support her two young children, without knowing whether her husband is alive or dead. In an effort to provide for her children, she joins a swing band as a singer, performing in a variety of community halls.

You will have a hard time not tapping your foot and bouncing in your chair during Jenkins’ catchy version of “When I Sing”.

Kjirsti, James and Daisy struggles Agnes Hoveland with trying to be the best mother she can, while providing a living doing what she knows and loves, which often means travelling while performing with the band. Add to that stress, a formidable relationship between Daisy and the band trombonist, Luke Reilly, played by Max Gramley, and the film tugs at the emotions of the heart.

The f ilm’s Michelle and authenticity comes Merv Wetstein from a backdrop of small town Alberta, including Springwater School in Starland County as part of the set.

Watch closely for a number of buildings in Rowley, an Alberta ghost town near Drumheller.

But it is not just the landscape that is proudly Albertan.

The film also features two local residents, Bawlf’s Rod Nelson and Camrose’s Blain Duff and Barbara Fowler.

Rod was featured in a dance scene filmed at the historic Princess Theatre located on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton.

The scene occurs about two-thirds of the way through the film.

“The actual scene took place in the evening, but we had to be on set in the afternoon,” recalled Rod. “I remember we had to drive up in these classic (’30/’40s) cars, park out front, get out and walk in.”

Look closely and you will see Rod walk across the dance floor, then sit down in a corner. “I was wearing a baby blue suit and had another actor (actress) on my arm.”

Rod said the whole process took quite awhile, from the wardrobe trailer until the end of filming that scene, however, the cut version accounted for mere minutes in the film. “But it was a lot of fun.”

Listen for the roar of Blain’s period Harvard aircraft in a scene featuring the Blondheim original tune “Home Movie/ It’s a Plane”.

Blain flew his impressive aircraft to assist in the part of an Australian airman who, during the time the movie was set, was training in Alberta as a pilot in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and who ended up befriending Daisy’s sister-in-law.

In 1989, when the film premiered, many Camrosians came out to the Bailey Theatre to enjoy a social evening with friends and the delightful film.

Some dressed in finery, while others opted to dress in period costume.

Join Blain on Nov. 10 as he kicks off the evening introducing the movie and sharing his own experience with life “under the bright lights of stardom”.

Sit back and enjoy a beautifully crafted Peggy and story of a simple Steve Shuman woman who did what she could during difficult times, the incredible music of an era gone by, and a feel-good movie that embodies the meaning of life’s sacrifices and choices.

The Bailey Theatre staff and volunteers are excited to be able to welcome patrons and guests back to the theatre, but ask that guests follow the Bailey protocols so everyone can safely enjoy Carmen and the film, which Marilyn Mason includes masks or facecoverings and staying home if you are unwell.

The evening event is on a firstcome first-served basis. No tickets are required to take part in this remembrance celebration and film tradition.

R ef resh ments and popcorn will be available for purchase.

Every drive is a salute to Michael’s dad

By Murray Green

Michael Zorn treasures his 1971 Chevrolet yellow short box truck.

“I’ve had the truck now for five years. I bought it at an auction out of Red Deer,” said Michael. “I went through the whole truck from end to end.

I did most of the work myself, but I had help from a lot of places in Camrose as well. This year, I had Brian Cutting put in a new crate 350 motor for me with an A700 transmission with overdrive,” explained Michael.

Chevrolet and GMC are trucks that share many similarities when it comes to the drivetrain and the overall appearance.

“It revs nice and low and you get better fuel mileage that way,” he added. “I always wanted the 1971 model because my dad had one when I was growing up.”

The C/K was Chevrolet and GMC’s full-size pickup truck line from October 1959 until 2000 in the United States and Canada.

The C indicated two-wheel drive and K indicated fourwheel drive.

“The special memories are what attracted me to this truck. His was a 1971 too, but was a long box, and I wanted a short box. Definitely the truck he had influenced my decision on choosing this truck.

His truck was a different colour–green, but he was the second owner of the truck that had low miles

on it, and when he sold it, he didn’t sell it to me,” laughed Michael.

The trim levels were rearranged on GMCs, with the Custom now being the lowest level (the Deluxe being dropped) and the Sierra and Sierra Grande becoming separate trim

FUN FACTS

Numerous changes occurred in 1971. First came another new grille design (the egg crate) for Chevrolet trucks, and black paint over portions of the GMC grille. Second, an additional trim package was introduced called the Cheyenne. On GMC models, this was equivalent to the Sierra. These packages consisted mostly of comfort features–nicer interiors, more padding and insulation, carpet, chrome trim and upper and lower side moulding and tailgate trim. In 1971, it was the first year for AM/FM radios factory installed.

Finally, the front brakes on all light-duty trucks were switched from drum brakes to disc brakes, resulting in much less brake fade under heavy use.

While prior C/K half-ton trucks had used a six-lug bolt pattern (6 x 5.5”) for the wheels, two-wheel-drive models switched to a five-lug pattern (5 x 5” bolt circle) common to Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Cadillac passenger cars. The half-ton 4 x 4 retained the six-lug bolt pattern. This bolt pattern would remain the standard through the end of the C/K series (along with the Chevrolet/GMC vans).

levels at the top of the lineup rather than option packages as before.

“I have three older vehicles, so I have worked on a lot of vehicles. I worked at a dealership when I was growing up.”

In 1971, the front brakes on all light-duty trucks were switched from drum brakes to disc brakes, resulting in much less brake fade under heavy use.

“This truck has been completely done, a frameoff restoration. It has been gone through from end to end. It was lowered and different wheels were put on it with higher profile tires.

Other than that, it was refreshed with new mouldings and new chrome. The interior was redone, so it is almost like a brand new truck.”

Louis-Joseph Chevrolet was a Swiss-American race car driver, cofounder of the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in 1911,

and a founder in 1916 of the Frontenac Motor Corporation.

Chevrolet drove in the Indianapolis 500 four

times, with a best finish of seventh in 1919.

“This truck reminds me of my dad and that is why it is so special,” added Michael.

Operation Christmas Child set to collect shoebox gifts

By Murray Green

Operation Christmas Child will once again be collecting shoebox gifts to pass on to less fortunate children this holiday season.

National Collection Week, when everyone’s boxes are to be at Collection Centres, is Nov. 16 to 22 as thousands of individuals, families, churches, businesses, sports teams, and community groups begin packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, plus personal notes and photos.

Operation Christmas Child is an annual initiative of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization that works in more than 100 countries.

Last year, Canadians filled more than 615,000 shoeboxes with gifts that shared God’s love and hope with struggling children in poverty-stricken countries. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and distributed almost 178 million shoebox gifts around the globe.

“Last year, 10.5 million shoebox gifts were collected worldwide, 490,471 came from Canada, and 2,642 came from Camrose

and area. We are hoping to surpass these totals in 2020,” said Kathy Runnalls, local organizer of Operation Christmas Child. “These boxes bring hope and smiles to children, knowing a stranger packed a gift for them.

Often your shoebox gift is the only gift the child ever receives.”

Shoeboxes are given as unconditional gifts regardless of the child’s race, religion or gender. When given, they often open doors for Samaritan’s Purse to work with local community leaders in identifying and addressing important needs such as clean water, literacy, vocational training for women, school meals for children, etc.

“Start with mediumsize cardboard or plastic shoebox. Select a ‘wow’ item such as a doll, stuffed animal or soccer ball with pump that will capture the child’s attention as soon as they open the box. Fill your shoebox with other new, quality items such as t-shirts, hygiene items, fun toys and school supplies. You can personalize your gift with a letter and photo of your family or group. Please remember to include a $10 donation

Murray Green, Camrose Booster There is a friendly competition between facecloth knitter Glenda Strauss, left, and soft doll maker Vi Gerber with husband Duane Gerber, on who can make the most items for Operation Christmas Child. Children will receive various items in shoeboxes this holiday season.

with each box to cover the cost of collecting, shipping and processing. The donation can be made by cash, cheque or online,” said Kathy.

A packing party, with COVID-19 restrictions, will be held at the church on Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.

“Packing shoeboxes is not just for kids, it’s for both young and old, as well as singles and families,” said Kathy.

Do not include food or candy, toothpaste, used items, breakable items, decks of poker playing cards, items that could leak, melt or freeze, or items that can scare or harm a child (such as warrelated toys, knives, toy guns).

“It’s been a difficult year for everyone worldwide, but we can all spread a little Christmas joy this year and make a difference in the lives of a child and their families.”

You can pick up preprinted Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and brochures and drop off the filled shoeboxes at the following locations, on or before Nov. 13: ATB Financial, Battle River Landscape Supply and Design, Browns Socialhouse, Dollar Tree (pick-up only), FT Aggregates, McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC, Pedersen’s Florists, Richardson’s Jewellery, The Brick, The Lefse House, The Soap Stop, Tim Hortons (both locations), Twists and More, and Vinesation.

After that date, drop the boxes off at the local collection centre at Century Meadows Baptist Church.

The shoeboxes help children in Central American countries such as El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. African countries receiving boxes are Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Kodiaks ready for new season

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Kodiaks will play three more exhibition games before the season begins.

By Murray Green

The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) board of governors has approved a regular season start date of Friday, Nov. 13.

The Camrose Kodiaks will play within a divisional format in their south division, while other teams play in their usual north division. The annual AJHL Showcase, season end date and playoff format will be announced at a later date.

The league is operating under the Government of Alberta’s junior, collegiate and university league guidance, developed to support leagues in returning to play and reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

The regular season protocols are in alignment with Hockey Canada’s Return to Hockey Safety Guidelines and Hockey Alberta’s Return to Hockey Plan in focusing on the safety and well-being of all participants and spectators.

Arena capacity limits, social distancing protocols within the facility and ticket sales process will be dictated by the regulations within each community and the respective team.

The 2020-21 regular season will be broadcast on HockeyTV.com. Annual passes are now available to AJHL fans through each team.

The exhibition season will continue through to Sunday, Nov. 8. A complete league schedule will be posted on AJHL.ca when it is finalized.

Camrose will play an exhibition game against Lloydminster on Nov. 3 in Viking. Then they will play a two-game series with Sherwood Park on Nov. 7 and 8.

The game in Camrose is on Saturday night.

Norton John Metcalfe November 5, 1931 ~ October 24, 2020 Norton was born on November 5, 1931 in Stony Plain, Alberta, to Cecile and Julie Metcalfe. He was raised on the family farm and attended school in Spruce Grove and later, high school in Stony Plain.

In 1952, the family moved to Wainwright, where Norton worked with his dad at the farm implement dealership. After a while, he started at the Co-op store in Wainwright, where he met his wife-to-be Olive Tindall.

In 1954, Norton started work for the Alberta Government at the town liquor store. Olive and he were married the following year, and then had two sons Brian and Rick. In 1959, Norton was promoted to store manager in Barrhead, where they lived for nine years before moving to Camrose in 1968, where he took a promotion as manager of the liquor store. He continued on as manager until his retirement.

Norton and Olive enjoyed camping with friends and family and rarely missed a weekend. They also loved to travel with numerous trips to the Caribbean and the US. Norton was an avid golfer and, once retirement hit, he golfed every day. Over the years, he was heavily involved with the community as president of the Kinsmen Club, member of the St. Mary’s Hospital board, president of the Probus Club, president of the Curling Club, and president of the Camrose Country Opry.

He loved to sing and play the guitar around the campfire or in front of 300 people at the Opry; it made no difference, the main thing was to have fun. Norton was also a member of a local coffee group that met during the week at the local A&W. Here, they would solve all of the current issues of the day, along with some good laughter.

He was predeceased by his parents Cecile and Julie; and by his wife Olive.

He will be dearly missed by his sons Brian and Rick (Michele); grandchildren Sheri-Lynn, Bradley, Kari and Kirk; and two great-grandchildren Marshall and Isaac.

A private family service was held. Inurnment has taken place in the Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. A recording of the service will be made available at a later date.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Norton’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta.

Kodiaks, Dragons split exhibition hockey series

By Murray Green

When the smoke settled from the Drumheller Dragons’ and Camrose Kodiaks’ six-game exhibition season series, the two teams were even at three wins each.

Drumheller won 5-2 in Camrose, with three straight tallies in the third period (last one into an empty net), to take game five.

Lynden Grandberg opened the scoring for Camrose, but the Dragons heated up in the final part of the period to score, and then went ahead in the middle frame.

Connor Gourley tied

the game on a power play, but Drumheller replied with their own man advantage marker to go up for good. The Dragons scored again 32 seconds later to take control of the match.

Kodiaks’ goalie Griffin Bowerman stopped 31 of 36 shots fired his way.

Camrose had 25 shots on the Drumheller cage.

In the last contest of the series on Oct. 24, Drumheller scored midway through the first on a power play. The teams tightened up defensively, but Camrose replied about halfway through the con-

test on a goal from Ryan Sullivan.

After a scoreless third period, it was only fitting that the close series would need overtime.

Camrose doused the Dragons’ fire early when Grandberg garnered an unassisted marker.

Goalie Logan Willcott turned away 35 of 36 shots directed his way.

Bear facts

The Kodiaks will be taking on the Lloydminster Bobcats tonight, Nov. 3, in Viking at the Carena starting at 7 p.m.

They also host the Sherwood Park Crusaders on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.

Camrose Kodiaks split the six-game series with the Dragons.

Carol Marilyn Pederson

Alphonse Victor Stang

November 2, 1942 ~ October 21, 2020 Carol Marilyn (Kjorlien) Pederson was born on November 2, 1942 in Edmonton, Alberta, the second child of Clarence and Margaret Kjorlien. At the age of two, she moved to Camrose and was baptized at Vang Lutheran Church near Wetaskiwin, and was later confirmed at Messiah Lutheran Church.

Carol took Grade 1 at Patience School, where her mother taught.

Carol attended Grades 2 to 9 in Camrose schools. Her high school years were taken at Camrose Lutheran College with one additional post-secondary year for secretarial skills. She then pursued work at CFCW as a continuity writer and at City Hall as a stenographer.

On August 25, 1962, Carol married Lyle Pederson at Messiah Lutheran Church. To this union, three children were born: Joel (Haley), Mark (Catherine), and Cheryl (Donald). In August 1968, they purchased an acreage northeast of Camrose near Lake Demay, and Carol chose to stay at home to raise their children and help with their small family farm.

Carol taught Sunday school for many years, visited seniors, was on the executive of Christian Women, and canvassed for Cancer and Diabetes. She was a member of ELW, and was a very active member of the Swea Community Club. In Carol’s early 50s, her eyesight began to fail and she soon was declared legally blind.

A few years later, Carol was diagnosed with a very rare disease, NARP (Neurological Degenerative Ataxia, Retinitis Pigmentosa), which continued to affect her sight, balance and nervous system.

On July 20, 2002, Lyle, the love of her life, passed away from cancer. Carol relocated to Camrose, where she spent the last 17 years prior to her own recent battle with cancer.

Her greatest joy was having her children and seven grandchildren (Andrea, Elisha, Brendan, Justin, Amanda, Ian and Sonja) share time with her.

A private service has been held. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Carol’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Diabetes Research Institute Foundation Canada (DRIF Canada), or Fighting Blindness Canada. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

May 4, 1935 ~ October 20, 2020 Alphonse Victor Stang was born on May 4, 1935, at Macklin, Saskatchewan, and passed away on October 20, 2020, at Daysland, Alberta. Alphonse was born to Leopold and Mary (Hollman) Stang. They moved to Ponoka in the early ’40s, where Alphonse took his schooling. His father was a farmer, sawmill owner and carpenter who built many barns in the area, most of which are still standing today. Alphonse went to work on the oil rigs at a very early age, and travelled all over Alberta and northern BC. In 1955, he married Alice Prymo from Daysland, and continued on the rigs until 1960, at which time they bought some land north east of Daysland, and he began farming alongside his father-in-law John Prymo. Alphonse then put his hard hat away for about 10 years, at which time he was farming full time. He went back to work on the rigs in 1969, where he worked for the next 30 years drilling and consulting for various oil and gas companies across Western Canada, Colorado and Libya. He was well liked and respected throughout the oil and gas drilling community. He then continued to farm full time alongside his sons James and Robert until the past few years. Alice and Alphonse moved into Daysland in 1993.

Alphonse was predeceased by his loving wife Alice; grandson Cody; his father and mother; and numerous brothers and sisters.

Alphonse is survived by his three sons Marshall (Wendy), Jamie (Joanne), and Bob (Sue); six grandsons; five great-grandchildren; his brother Leo (Judy); sister Georgina (Gordon); and brother-inlaw Peter Prymo.

He loved to tinker and had a wide range of mechanical understanding and ability. He loved fishing, hunting, telling stories and pulling pranks. He retained a strong, genuine interest in all that was happening at the farm until his passing. Dad did say on the day of his passing that he had 85 good years; however, he would have liked to have lived to 90 years old, but that he was prepared for the next chapter.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Alphonse’s memory may be made to the S.T.A.R.S. Air Ambulance or to the Daysland Hospital Foundation.

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.

Poppy sales support projects

By Murray Green

Every year, on the last Friday of October (Oct. 30) to Nov. 11, millions of Canadians wear a poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

While the poppy is distributed freely to all who wish to wear one, the Legion gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund.

The campaign is very much a local initiative, conducted by Legion Branches in cities, towns and communities across the country, including Camrose. Donations collected during the Poppy Campaign directly support veterans and their families within their community and to help ensure Canadians never forget.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, November 3, 2020 – Page 30

If you want to save money at Christmas, now’s the perfect time to tell the kids that Santa didn’t make it through the pandemic.

Before I agree to 2021, I need to see some Terms and Conditions.

I’m a kid at heart, and a senior citizen at knees and back.

It amazes me how much exercise and extra fries sound alike.

If 2020 was a Math problem: If you’re walking on the ice cream at five ounces per toaster, and your bicycle loses a sock, how much gravy will you need to repaint a hamster?

Currently, my ears are carrying my headphones, sunglasses and face mask. Ears are the new purse.

Two little boys were at a wedding when one leaned over to the other and asked, “How many wives can a man have?”

His friend answered, “Sixteen … four better, four worse, four richer and four poorer.”

I’m currently standing in front of my pantry, eating a “temporary” snack while trying to decide on a more formal, permanent snack.

Our favourite local Scotsman Don MacLeod and his wife Arlene walked past the entrance to Hagar’s Café at the Norsemen Inn. “Did you smell that food?” Arlene asked.

“It smells absolutely incredible!” Being the kind-hearted Scotsman that he is, Don thought, “What the heck, I’ll treat her!”

So they walked past it again!

It’s that time of year where girls look really cute and fashionable in their plaid flannel, and I look like I’ve misplaced my axe.

Tonight’s Forecast: Partly cloudy with a 100-percent chance that I’ll be at home, rewinding my TV show because I missed half of it while scrolling through my phone, before I fall asleep on the couch and wake up three hours later with a stiff neck, having to go to the bathroom. In case you thought middle age wouldn’t be exciting.

I hate when I eat the last bite, but didn’t notice it was the last bite, so I couldn’t mentally prepare myself and get closure.

My life may be a mess sometimes, but at least I know the difference between your and you’re.

Everyone should have at least one fork in your drawer that you just don’t like, and actively frown when you accidentally grab it.

You never think of how many people you don’t like until you start thinking of names for your baby.

If you can’t handle me randomly blurting out song lyrics that relate to what you just said, we can’t be friends.

The human brain is awesome. It functions 24 hours a day from the day we are born, and only stops when we are taking an exam or falling in love.

I wish I was the person I thought I could be when I bought all this produce.

There’s nothing fun about fun-size candy bars.

I want a simple life. I want to get up late, drink tea, read old books. I also want a spaceship and a pet dragon.

I stopped understanding math when the alphabet decided to get involved.

When told the reason for Daylight Savings Time, the old wise man said, “Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom of the blanket, and have a longer blanket.”

I always mean what I say, but sometimes I don’t mean to say it out loud.

I just bought my coworker a “Get Better Soon” card. He’s not sick I just think he could do better.

I keep hearing that it takes a village to raise a child. Do they just show up, or is there a number to call?

Never ask a woman who is eating ice cream straight from the carton how she is doing.

Behind every great man is the drawer I need to get into ... and why is he even in the kitchen right now?!?

How to tell you’re an adult: • You gain 30 pounds overnight.

• You’d rather sleep than go out.

• Everything hurts.

• Comfort comes before style.

• You have a favourite spatula.

• Everything feels like a chore.

• College students look like they’re 12 years old.

• You’re always annoyed.

There I was – sitting buck naked in an amazing recliner, watching a terrific movie on a spectacular 75-inch TV, eating a slice of pizza and drinking a Coke. I wasn’t bothering a soul, I was minding my own business. Then Lance, the owner of Audio Video Unlimited, calls the cops on me! What was he thinking?!?

Why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

Dear 2020, First of all, I would like to let you know I’m typing this with my middle finger.

Back in the day, we earned the rips and holes in our jeans – they didn’t come ready made!

If you’re trying to impress me with your vehicle, it better be a food truck.

I’ll happily put my clothes in the washer and dryer. But folding? That will take about 14 business days.

Tylor Keller

These past few weeks in Parliament have been chaotic to say the least.

Despite this, I have been working tirelessly to ensure the constituents of Battle River-Crowfoot are heard.

Since Parliament has been back to work after prorogation, the Liberals have filibustered or used other delay tactics in every committee that has a mandate allowing them to investigate the WE Charity Scandal, causing these committees’ work to stall, including that of the health committee. The health committee cannot study the worst health crisis in the last 100 years and any potential improvements to the government’s response as the Liberals find it more important to bail their buddies out of a corruption scandal yet again.

Conservatives have fought hard against Liberal tactics by proposing a motion which would create a new, special committee that would investigate the Liberals’ mishandling of COVID-19 related contracts. The Liberals responded by threatening to call an election and turned the Conservatives’ WE Scandal inquiry into a confidence motion. This is unprecedented, as never before has a government turned an opposition motion to create a committee into a confidence vote. I was proud to vote for the motion and it is unfortunate that the government felt it was necessary to bully their way out of this by threatening an election call.

This threat led the NDP and Greens to vote against this motion. This is, once again, an unacceptable abuse of power and demonstrates how the government refuses to respect Parliament and democracy. Although disappointing, we have not wasted any time moving forward with our next constructive proposal.

The Liberals have told everyone to be a part of a “Team Canada” effort, even as they shut down Parliament, annihilating the ability of parliamentarians, such as myself, to voice the concerns of their constituents. They are ensuring the only ones who will be allowed on this team are Liberals. Government accountability is not only about looking at wrongdoing, it is about looking where we can be better, and now it is more important to be better. Canada’s response to COVID-19 and the recovery can be the difference between lives lost and lives saved.

Canadians deserve answers and the Official Opposition has been there trying to get them. From demanding accountability through government scandals, to ensuring that government programs that miss the mark are fixed, and that there is a plan for recovery. This is in addition to the many ways the Official Opposition and myself as the MP for Battle River-Crowfoot are working to bring strong, ethical governance back to Ottawa.

When talking about being on Team Canada, Conservatives have been there, while it seems like Liberals are only playing for “Team Liberal”.

Lastly, I would like to emphasize how much I appreciate hearing your comments and concerns. Your feedback is very important. Whether it is concerns about COVID-19 supports or stances on issues, your input helps me represent you better.

If you have questions, comments, or concerns about supports, programs, or inquiries about the Federal Government, do not hesitate to call 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 email damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca.
