Rotary Pavilion

Ron Grue, Dan Cole, Florence Blanchette and Shirley Rostad were busy last week on the Pavilion, with the last day of construction in sight.

The 1,972 square foot covered open air Rotary Pavilion, now on the verge of completion, features a majestic view of Stoney Creek Valley. Well thought out murals will teach visitors about the valley history – natural and man-made. Situated immediately east of Stoney Creek Centre, this project has been envisioned and planned in the minds of Rotary Club of Camrose members for several years. A generous $30,000 gift from the Co-op Community Spaces initiative, along with a lofty $58,000 provincial government grant, were the turning points for the proverbial green light to be given for this exciting build. Volunteer extraordinaire Rotarian Ron Grue led his ambitious team of handy men and women to construct this free community use structure in only one month.

Local trades heavily subsidized their usual fees in order to bring this facility to reality.

Proposal for new police station

By Lori Larsen

During the June 21 City of Camrose Committee of Whole meeting, Camrose Police Service (CPS) Chief Dean LaGrange presented a report to council regarding a proposal to begin planning for a new police station.

The building of the current CPS headquarters was originally a radio station, and was built in 1984. “Camrose purchased the building in 1999 for the new Camrose Police headquarters. The building itself is coming up to 40 years old,” reported LaGrange.

“It is 13,900 square feet in size, and in 1999 when CPS moved in, there were 21 sworn members, nine administration/dispatchers, four casual dispatchers, two photo radar staff positions and eight guards, for a total of 44 police employees.”

According to the Alberta (Municipal Affairs) 2000 Official Population Lists, the population of Camrose at the time was 14,290.

“We are now 30 sworn members, 18 civilian members (dispatchers, administrative, analyst, photo radar and IT) and 14 casual employees, totaling 62.”

According to the Government of Alberta, the population of Camrose in 2020 was 19,333.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service is outgrowing its current headquarters.

“Recently, we were able to secure some funds for some much needed renovations in various parts of the building, including a backup generator,” explained LaGrange. “That was completed last year.”

He added that the funds were also used to upgrade the dispatch room to make it a more conducive work environment.

“Our current issues right now include parking.

Most of our employees are parking on the street or down the road, and we only have about three stalls out front against the curb for the public to park.”

Other areas of concern mentioned by Chief LaGrange were the lack of storage for police record management, and that the interview rooms were being used as office space.

“For instance, last week we took a 77-year-old lady to the back cells to get a statement from her.”

LaGrange noted that the forensics and training facilities for CPS are located off site, with a rental cost of $35,000 a year.

Other space vital for police operations, such as an exhibit room, are being utilized for office space, and the current HVAC system requires updating.

He suggested that consideration should be given to a centrally located CPS building that would provide access for both CPS employees and the public, and that the facility should house all operational requirements for ultimate efficiency.

“Thinking in terms of the bigger picture, we could have a one-stop hub for several law enforce-

A Camrose lady, who requested anonymity, received a random act of kindness while purchasing her groceries on July 7. She selected her groceries and proceeded to the till, only to realize her credit card was missing. A gentleman behind her kindly paid for her groceries (about $33),

so the line at the till could move along.

“I thanked him and then finally I found a $10 bill to offer to him. He refused, saying the groceries were paid for,” said the shopper.

“I was so discombobulated, knowing that there was someone who cared.

I said I don’t really need the groceries, I could put them back. I don’t buy a lot

at once, because I have to carry them. I wanted them because they were on sale.

He didn’t have to pay for them. I think he was in his 30s, and it was so nice of him,” she added. “I went to my car and started to cry, because he was so kind. I finally found my credit card and I was so embarrassed.

I felt sick then. I just didn’t see it when I needed it.”

Mirrored back

When I was growing up in Camrose in the 1950s, the jewel now called Mirror Lake was the dam–dark dirty water that accumulated when Stoney Creek was dammed up.

When the town and then the City of Camrose decided to keep the area around Stoney Creek and the dam as park, this was not an easy sell.

It took imagination to see anything other than murky water and scruffy brush in the centre of town.

It took vision to convince others that ideas like “nature” and “park” were worth more to the municipality than selling the land for development. ***

I thought of all that as I read an article about the impact of being in nature.

I have noticed for a long time that if I go for even a short walk outside, I feel better. If my walk includes time in a natural environment, I feel better yet.

Turns out that’s true for most people.

The article I read says that besides the physical benefits of fresh air and greenery, being in nature has other benefits. A growing body of research tells us that: -Walking in nature decreases harmful mental rumination–that is, going over and over bad feelings and experiences from the past, which is a risk factor for depression.

-Kids who go to schools with more greenery perform better on tests that require the ability to think.

-Seeing images of greenery helps performance on challenging cognitive tasks.

In short, research confirms what some people have known their whole lives. Being in nature helps you feel better emotionally and helps you think better. ***

Back to Camrose and the jewel that is Mirror Lake.

How fortunate that visionary councillors and administrators thought it was important to keep that area for park and then to beautify it. They probably didn’t know they were helping us mentally and emotionally too.

At first, the area was kept somewhat natural, but with walking trails and other enhancements. Gradually, year by year, the trails were extended, creating more and more places where people could enjoy walking (or running or biking or skiing).

Some of my favourite adult memories are of my mom and I walking the paths around Mirror Lake.

It always delights me when, by the Bill Fowler Centre, I see children playing, families enjoying ice cream and people sitting on the benches enjoying the water and ducks and perhaps the odd muskrat swimming by. ***

The article I read pointed out something else. If a natural scene that delights us has litter–even a small amount–that greatly reduces the positive impact of being in nature. In experiments, even a small amount of litter triggered a lessening of the “restorativeness” of the scene. It made the research participants feel “unhappy and less calm”.

Litter is not just bad for the environment. It’s bad for us emotionally too. ***

I know people who live east of Camrose who choose to drive through Camrose on their way to Edmonton for one main reason. They like driving west to that place on Highway 13, just past 51 Street, where the view of Mirror Lake opens up. If it happens to be at sunset, with sky colours reflected in the water, that’s even better.

Every time I’m driving west towards that spot, I feel my spirit lift. I say a mental “thank you” to the far-seeing people who looked at what was then a rather ugly scene and could see beauty.

Perhaps when we perceive beauty, it is mirrored back to us.

May we all have that kind of eyes. ***

Rude protestors

You are not going to f ind a bigger critic of the UCP than me.

For the record, I think Tylor Shandro is doing a terrible job as health minister. In fact, I think he’s the worst health minister this province has ever had.

H o w e v e r, what happened to him and his family on Canada Day was completely u n ac c ept able.

A nt imaskers crowded around him and his w i fe a nd ch i ld ren, yelling obscenities and threatening all of them.

This mob went after his children. To illustrate their complete lack of knowledge, one of these so - c a l le d pr ot e st or s yelled at one of his kids, “Sorry, bud, but your dad is a war criminal.”

W hat war? W hat crimes? These people are delusional hooligans just like their internet “heroes”.

Is this what we are devolving into? W hat is behind it? It seems that thugs are inspiring far too many willfully ignorant people. In turn, these folks feel the rule of law and the pursuit of civil society doesn’t apply to them. If you turn to aggression and threats, where do you think this is going end?

We all need to demand a higher level of accountability and integrity from ourselves and others.

Mark Lindberg, Camrose New normality

L e t ’s compa re Premier Kenney’s claims re: Crushing COVID-19 and its variants’ risks (Returning to a sense of normality, Camrose Booster, July 6) with what Dr. Deena Henshaw stated.

Kenney claims, “We have crushed COVID-19 a nd w it h cases plummeting and vaccine upta ke climbing, we are Open for Summer.”

Misleading, to say the least, when the (July 6) Calgary Zone has 374 active cases, with 69 still in hospital (…and 140 hospitalized provincewide). Plus, Kenney ’s attempts to promote the “safety” of the Calgary Stampede, also totally ig nore the increasing (Delta) “variant” cases

(i.e. 21 new variant cases, July 6).

Dr. Henshaw (in t hat sa me a r ticle) rema rked, “ We a re entering a new phase in our f ight against this virus…I encourage every A lbertan to continue to get their vaccines, make safe choices…,” which in plain English, contrad icts K en ney ’s claim.

Before making his de cla rat ion, K en ney should also have checked The Economist (July 3: “Back to the Future”… and below the 66 average of the 50 countries used in th is “ Nor ma lcy ” Index (economist.com/ normalcytracker).

T he E c onom i st ’s Normalcy Index “tracks three types of activity: 1. Travel, split between roads, f lights and public tra nspor t ; 2. L eisure time, divided among hours spent outside of homes, cinema revenues a nd att enda nc e at sporting events ; 3. Commercial activity, measured by footfall in shops and off ices.”

The Index uses data of 50 countries (which account for 76 per cent of the world’s population and 90 per cent of its GDP) and measures the change in each factor from pre-COVID levels, averaging the changes in each category; and then averaging the grouped results together.

The Index relative to a pre-COV ID norm of 100 was calculated… most Western countries ranked near the 66 average (America at 73, the EU 71, Australia 70 and Britain 62). “Both Hong Kong and New Zealand, the leaders at 96 and 88, enjoy nearly full normalcy…”, whereas Canada sits at just under 60, a long ways f rom Kenney ’s declared having “crushed COVID”. And, a long way below Hong Kong’s 96 and New Zealand’s 88.

Of the eight activities used in The Economist’s I ndex , t h re e were subject to legal orders: cinemas, spor ting events, and f lights. “All three remain 70 to 85 per cent below the preCOVID baseline today.”

That def ies Kenney ’s claim of “having crushed COVID-19.” And, should clearly indicate the risks

the Sta mpede poses during this pandemic.

Food for thought: W hat is nor ma lc y / nor mality r ight now anyway?

M.R. Leithead, Bawlf Residential schools

W hen it comes to residential schools here in Canada, I do not remember hearing about such an event when I was going to school in my little town of Sedgewick.

I went to school from 1974-87. As I think about these special schools, what happened when the federal and provincial government taught them to be Europeans and stop being savages? This was an attitude of the time here in our history. As I read books from this time period, I remember how these wild savages needed to be taught to be proper citizens of this new country called Canada. Now, people are waking up to realize that when these poor people complained about the treatment which they were receiv ing were rea lly ma k ing a good point of the m i st r e at me nt t hei r people were receiving. It is too bad that it took this long to understand that over one hundred years ago, our ancestors took away many different cu ltu re g roups –thei r language and culture – without even making waves in the European immigrants who came to this new country, unless this was the main attitude of the majority of those who travelled here to this new country which was owned by a group of people who did not believe that they truly owned the land on which they roamed. Is it really too late to make these wrongs right? It is too bad that it has taken this long to understand which wrongs were done against these people.

However, the past cannot be reversed; returning these people their rights to have their language and culture is a good start in this healing process.

New police station discussed Continued from page 2

Camrose Police Service Chief of Police Dean LaGrange recommended council consider the proposal for new CPS headquarters in the 10-year plan and despite the building being at full capacity, the community will still be receiving the best service CPS can provide.

City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd requested, going forward,

that CPS provide specific information on the restraints of current headquarters, proposal of the specific needs of a new facility and that the City, along with CPS, look at a map of the City to identify areas in City that may be suitable for a central location of a new facility.

Mayor Norm Mayer said the matter will be brought to future councils for discussion.

Learn how to manage your stress

By Murray Green

Albertans looking for ways to identify and manage stress are invited to join free online workshops facilitated by Alberta Health Services.

Transform Your Stress: The Resilience Advantage– Strategies for Managing

Stress in Challenging Times will be held in two parts.

Part 1: Led by AHS certified professionals, this interactive workshop includes a basic discussion of stress, plus looks at different ways to manage stress, including breathing techniques. Partici-

Ask the A

CHIEF Dean LaGrange Chief of Police Camrose Police Service Question: When is it appropriate to call 911, and when should a person just call the complaint line?

Answer: The 911 system is meant for an emergency situation or a crime in progress. For instance, a robbery, a serious vehicle collision or an imminent public safety threat is viewed as an emergency. Equally, a domestic assault, impaired driver or a theft in progress would justify calling 911, as it is a crime in progress. Reporting a crime that has already occurred, such as a break-in, a minor vehicle collision or a bicycle you notice has been recently stolen, would be a non-emergency phone call, or even an online reporting scenario.

These are just a few examples that illustrate proper procedure. If you are unsure, our communications centre will make certain a proper response is initiated depending on the factors involved.

CCWS explores path to well-being with yoga session

By Lori Larsen

Get out your yoga mat and join in on the virtual Yoga: A Sustainable Path to Well-Being to be presented on Thursday, July 15 at 7 p.m., as part of the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer programs.

Presenter and yoga teacher Dr. Deanna Mason will be leading the presentation and providing insights into the connections between yoga and sustatainability, followed by a

free, gentle yoga practice suited for all abilities and ages.

“While the roots of yoga were planted in India thousands of years ago, yoga has much to teach us about sustainability and our contemporary relationship with the natural world,” said Mason.

Following the presentation and yoga practice, Dr. Mason will be available for questions and answers.

“This presentation is a great fit whether you are brand new to yoga

or have experienced the enhanced flexibility, awareness, and calm this ancient practice fosters.”

Last week’s presentation on coyotes had attendees howling the praises of the cunning creatures.

“The presentation Talking Coyotes was a great success,” noted Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator Rhyleigh Henault. “We had a great turnout and a lot of great questions from attendees about coyote

habits and how they can help. “Dr. Shelley Alexander gave us great tips on how to read coyote’s behaviour and how to act if you encounter a coyote. There was also fantastic information about coyote’s social systems and how we can deter them from our living areas.”

To take part in the presentation, email Henault at wildlifesteward ship@camrose.ca or rhenault@camrose.ca to request a Zoom invitation.

Parliament rising, Alberta opening up

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

Alberta is open! It is encouraging to see our province move forward and finally start putting COVID behind us. There seems to be a palatable optimism as vaccination numbers continue to rise, cases and hospitalizations fall, and folks are out and about enjoying the weather. It’s also been very encouraging to visit dozens of communities, speak with thousands of you in person, and see public events taking place. Each day, I am encouraged by the resilience, fortitude, and optimism shown by the people of Battle River Crowfoot.

That is not to diminish the concerns that continue to exist. Moisture levels and drought conditions locally, the ongoing challenges in our economy, the ongoing national unity crisis, and the frustration as the Liberal government in Ottawa becomes increasingly out of touch, corrupt, and dysfunctional. It is, however, the people of this region who give me confidence that amid these hardships, we will see a recovery.

As the countdown to Parliament rising for the summer began at the beginning of June, there seemed to be a realization that the government had accomplished very little in terms of their legislative agenda. In fact, they saw much of the legislation they deemed a priority stagnating without being debated fully on the Order Paper. Parliament’s job is to thoughtfully and actively ensure that there is thorough debate on everything that goes before it. Yet, increasingly we have seen the Liberals treat our democracy as an inconvenience rather than a place to ensure Canadians’ perspectives are represented. This was emphasized when the Liberals were only able to bring their budget bill to vote the day that Parliament was scheduled to adjourn.

While this government has one of the least productive Parliamentary sessions in Canadian history, the Official Opposition were hard at work. We saw a record number of Private Member’s Bills passed that include changes to tax rules to help farm succession, extended bereavement care, and easing the barriers to register for organ donations. Further, a bill that would provide farmers relief from the carbon tax is very close to passing the final reading in the Senate.

Then, there is the extensive work being done to hold the government to account. This includes committee work, holding officials and departments accountable for COVID failings, exposing unprecedented scandals, and fighting to ensure that Canadian democracy remains strong. I will write more on this in the following columns, as there is much to cover.

Finally, you have likely heard talk of a summer federal election. Thus far, the Liberal government has not yet lost a confidence vote and are being supported by the NDP. However, contrary to Prime Minister Trudeau’s promises, he seems to be intent on calling an election before many of the investigations into his and his government’s conduct are finished. Locally, I have heard from some of you that would welcome another election and others who would not. However, as this speculation continues, you can be assured that I remain undeterred as your voice in Ottawa and am prepared for the possibility of an election.

City, County working together on Railway Junction Intermunicipal Structure Area Plan

By Lori Larsen

Both Camrose County and the City of Camrose council have given first reading to the Railway Junction Intermunicipal Structure Area Plan (RJIASP), a joint project that has the potential to bring c o m m e r c i a l / i n du s t r i a l development to the Camrose area.

The area impacted by the RJIASP is located just north of the Cargill canola crush plant and encompasses approximately 266 hectares (657 acres) of which approximately 138 hectares (341 acres) are located in the City of Camrose and approximately 128 hectares (316 acres) are located in Camrose County.

“The City and County applied for and received funding through the Municipal Affairs Alberta Community Partnership grant,” explained City of Camrose Planning and Development manager Aaron Leckie. “The grant fully funded the plan which was prepared by ISL Engineering, with the exception of any internal staffing, councilor, and stakeholder time for both the City and County.”

The RJIASP provides detailed framework for future development for the land in question. “The RJIASP came out of the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) that was adopted between the City and County in early 2020,” said Leckie. “Through that, we had discussions about where servicing should be located and where we were expected to target growth and development. We really focused on servicing and coordinating servicing in areas where we expect growth will happen within the next 25 years.”

This particular area was selected for this plan by both the County and the City as the most likely for targeted growth. “Cargill has put in a lot of infrastructure and there are opportunities there for synergies between the existing Cargill plant and other agri-industrial or industrial operations,” said Leckie, referring to the example of waste heat recovery. “Currently, there are no development plans or any potential clients, but there is a great opportunity there.”

Camrose County Planning and Development manager Anjah Howard further explained, “It ties in nicely with the work and the facilities currently there, and we would be able to say to people (potential developers), if you bring in an industrial project that meets our servicing, then you can build here.”

She indicated the area will be primarily industrial

with a little strip of commercial or light industrial along Highway 13.

Howard said there are currently a couple of residential areas which would be surrounded by some greenspace to separate the industrial from residential.

“This plan basically provides guidelines for the five landowners if they want developers to come in. Then we will help market it.

“Most of our public engagement has been with those landowners to make sure what we are recommending aligns with what their long-term plans are.”

Howard added that both the County and the City anticipate marketing the area once both councils have approved the RJIASP. “It will make it easier to market to the broader community and hopefully attract additional business to the area.”

Both Howard and Leckie agreed that the RJIASP is about capitalizing on the opportunity and being prepared.

“As a part of this study, we commissioned a study from Colliers International, a marketing development and research firm, that identified, based on historic growth patterns, what can we expect to see there,” said Leckie, “Including what the cost of land and servicing is in that area. So we can make sure that area is set up in a way that we are not pricing ourselves out of the market for what developers are looking for. That was an important component of helping develop the framework and recognizing that large block, mostly unserviced industrial and agro-industrial, are the markets we should be targeting.”

He said that this type of development has not been the norm for City development projects, which usually require high level of servicing standards. “The Railway Junction area will likely attract business, such as storage areas or businesses with large storage areas, that may not require higher level of servicing, such as curb and gutter or sanitary or water.

“We need to focus on the critical services that are required rather than the standard services just because that is how we’ve done business for the last 50 years.”

Howard commented, “Something that also came out of the Colliers Report was if we require full City services, they will never develop because it is not cost effective for somebody to move in.

“It ties in nicely with creating a bit of hybrid with what the City requires and

what the County requires to make those lands more cost effective. We are likely going to be targeting people who use large tracks for storage of some kind.”

She added that they are also working with Battle River Alliance for Economic Development in regards to promotional materials around value added agriculture specific to Camrose and Camrose County.

Leckie said that by requiring lower servicing, it also reduces the longterm maintenance costs for either the City or the County. “That is a benefit for taxpayers long term, not having to maintain that infrastructure if it may not be needed.”

Howard indicated that industrial and commercial development, based on current models, often pays for itself more than residential development, and that is why it is vital to have developments such as the RJIASP. “That is why most municipalities chase commercial/industrial development because it helps pay for residential development. It helps offset those costs of higher service levels (recreation, paved road).”

The County and City have also been working together to create an offsite levy (charges used to transparently and equitably allocate off-site infrastructure capital costs to those that benefit) plan.

“The off-site levy will be based on what we think the servicing costs will be,” said Howard. “Looking at low service also impacts the amount of off-site levies that will be collected off these lands. Most of the off-site levies will be paid into the City of Camrose, because they will be the ones providing those services.

“However, services such as storm water management are slightly different because most of the storm water would go out into the County. So storm water payments would go to the County to provide those services off-site.”

Howard and Leckie both stated that determining off-site levies can be quite complicated and involves a great deal of cost forecasting.

“In this area, however, those off-site levy rates are going to be lower,” stated Leckie. “And for some, actually eliminated because we are not requiring that servicing be brought in. If a developer still needs it and still thinks there is a benefit of tying into City utilities, then we will certainly collect the off-site levy for that. But it is only on request rather than requirement.”

Howard said that determining off-site levies is all part of the mandate of the County and City with regards to the RJIASP project, as well as having all the documents in place to offer prospective developers the information they need to make informed decisions while providing a good degree of certainty.

Leckie and Howard stated that one of the objectives of the RJIASP is to have the County and City working together, and not competing against each other, but rather to compete as a region against other municipalities to bring development to the area.

“The information sharing and development process doesn’t just stop with the City or County or ISL Engineering,” noted Leckie. “Provincial agencies, as well, deal with things that are much broader and have policies and procedures that we need to deal with in this plan, such as a provincial water body that may lay within the area that would need to be protected.

“It is a very collaborative process involving many stakeholders that would be involved at different stages that are also included in this plan.”

Schmidt repairs early ag track tractors

By Murray Green

Gordon Schmidt of the Bawlf area owns one of the first agricultural caterpillar tractors.

“This is a Cletrac AG-6, which means agricultural gas. The reason I wanted one of these in my collection is that it has a unique steering system in it. They don’t use steering clutches in it, they use a braking system called differential steering,” explained Gordon, about his 1945 model. “It looks quite complicated when you look at the drawing or schematic of it, but it is really nice to drive by just using one level.

With a different brand, you have to release the clutch, then apply the brake. For this model, all you have to do is apply the brake,” he continued.

“They steer really nice, if you are doing a hard turn you have to lean on it. But just to steer it in the field, it would be pretty nice to handle. It may wander to the side a little, but it is easy to steer back on track,” Gordon shared. “The other advantage is that you never lose power to one of your tracks. With a conventional Caterpillar, you release the clutch, apply the brake and then you have lost traction on that track until you make your turn. With Oliver, you have power on both tracks all the time. If you are working a tractor really hard, you have to release

one side and then you could start spinning, rather than turning.”

In 1944, Oliver acquired the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac). They continued production of the existing Cletrac HG model until

FUN FACTS

Cletrac was a manufacturer of tractors for military and civilian use, and was organized by Rollin H. White as the Cleveland Motor Plow Company in 1916, with capital of $6 million. White, a founder of the White Motor Company, had formed this new firm 10 years earlier to produce the crawler-type tractor he had developed for general farm use. Renamed Cleveland Tractor Co. in 1917, the company sold 40,000 tractors in the U.S. and 70 foreign countries during its first decade.

In the early 1930s, the needs of the Civilian Conservation Corps and public works projects kept the plant open and by 1937, the firm, which employed 1,500 workers, enjoyed record tractor sales here and abroad.

Two years later, the company introduced three new lower-priced tractors with four-cylinder engines for use by the small farmer. The military application of Cleveland Tractor’s products became dominant during the Second World War, when the firm manufactured a new high-speed tractor for hauling artillery.

Although the company received a steady flow of orders, the low profit in defence work and the research costs for new products convinced company president White to sell the company to the 96-year-old Oliver of Chicago in 1944.

1951. The agricultural Cletrac HG gradually evolved into the more industrial Oliver OC-3 which was produced from 1951 through 1957.

“Cletrac tractors were bought out by Oliver and they continued to make the crawlers. It led to the Oliver OC-9.”

The Oliver OC-9 was the first tractor crawler by Oliver Farm Equipment Company to employ the use of a torque converter.

“The cost of track tractors would have been more than a regular tractor. They were made back in 1919, but it wasn’t something that most farmers would have had. They were mostly used in the logging industry before agriculture,” said Gordon.

“This has a continental engine and they used a number of third party engines in the tractors. It could have come with a Chrysler engine as well.”

This tractor was used in Alberta. “I bought this tractor just south of Edmonton.

When I first saw it for sale, I didn’t follow up on it. Then I decided the next time I see one, I’ll buy it. They are rare, certainly not as easy to find as Caterpillar. I saw it again, not realizing it was the same tractor. I made

a deal with the guy and now I have it. I don’t paint the tractors because that is not my interest. I like the mechanical end of things, so I fix them into running condition. That is what I enjoy, getting them operational.”

Wilfred David Schwartz December 23, 1929 ~ June 27, 2021 Wilmer David Schwartz was born on December 23, 1929, on the Hearn place in Wellesley township, Ontario, to Amish parents John “Jack” and Nancy Schwartz.

Our dad always had a sense of adventure. As a young adult, he travelled halfway across the country, settling in the small community of Camrose, Alberta. With an outgoing, fun-loving personality that was larger than life, he soon gained the nickname “Friday”. Many, including the love of his life, Joyce, heard his name as “Freddy”, and the name stuck. Soon after, he legally changed his name to Wilfred, “Fred” for short. Those who knew our dad knew what a genuine person he was. He was a straight shooter, always willing to help others, extremely loyal to his family and friends, and had a mischievous sense of humour (something all of his children inherited). If you bought a car in Camrose, he probably sold it to you. He was the best father anyone could ask for, always fully invested in our interests from childhood to adulthood, always there to support us in the good times and the bad, always available to lovingly take care of us and our mom, always … without ever asking for anything in return. We are all proud to have been able to call him Dad, and the memories he left behind are invaluable.

Fred passed peacefully on June 27, 2021, with all his children by his side.

He was predeceased by his wife Joyce; parents John “Jack” and Nancy; and brother Alvin. He leaves behind his sister Lois; four children Barry (Robbie), Bonnie (Terry), Holly (Rob), and Dean (Nicole); grandchildren Tera (Wayne), Madison (Alana), Kurtis, Jolana (Rob), Brayden and Breanna; great-grandchildren Hayley and Hannah; and many relatives and friends who will forever hold his memories close to their hearts.

A Funeral Mass was held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 7, 2021 from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, 3605-50 Street, Camrose, with Father Joby Augustin as Celebrant.

Inurnment has taken place in the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.

Betty Jean Lofgren January 13, 1940 ~ July 1, 2021 Betty Jean Lofgren (nee Skattebo) was born on January 13, 1940 in Camrose, Alberta, and passed away peacefully in her room at Bethany Meadows on Thursday, July 1, 2021, at the age of 81, surrounded by family.

Betty was born to parents Elvin and Margaret Skattebo and was the older sister to Bonnie. She grew up in Rosalind, Alberta, and enjoyed small-town life with family and friends. Every summer, she and her family would take vacations exploring areas around Banff or travelling to the United States.

These family trips were very special and memorable. Growing up in Rosalind, Betty enjoyed attending community hall dances, visiting the Benz Café, watching sports during the sports fun days, and hanging out with her friends.

After completing her schooling in Rosalind, Betty attended McTavish Business College in Edmonton. She worked for a few years as a teller at the Bank of Montreal before beginning her career with Alberta Fish and Wildlife in Camrose. She was the office manager there for 25 years, keeping the office running efficiently until her retirement in 1990.

From her first marriage, her son Lindsay Krausert was born in 1961. Betty married Ed Lofgren in 1973, and her second son, Shawn Lofgren, was born in 1975. Betty and Ed enjoyed many years together, spending quality time with family on camping trips, vacations to Las Vegas, or cheering on her favourite racehorse, Rapido Dom, at Northlands Park. Betty loved watching sports of all kinds on TV, most especially tennis.

Spending time with and helping her family was important to Betty. She appreciated living in Camrose and being close to her parents and her Grandma Krueger, and especially her two sons, Lindsay and Shawn and their families. Being able to watch them grow up and become successful and happy made Betty very proud.

More than anything, Betty loved being a grandma. Her grandkids always brought her so much joy and laughter. She was so proud of them and relished the time she spent with them. One of her favourite games was to play ponies with her granddaughters.

Betty is predeceased by her parents, Elvin and Margaret Skattebo. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Ed Lofgren; her sister Bonnie (Clem) Hebert; her two sons Lindsay (Peggy) Krausert, and Shawn (Stacy) Lofgren; three grandchildren Clayton (Sierrah), Hannah and Kara; and two great-grandchildren Gunner and Briar.

A Funeral Service was held at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating.

Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Holliston retires as CDSS director

By Murray Green

How do you create a safe space?

When I interviewed at Augustana for a faculty position in 2014, I was asked how I would make the students feel safe in class. This question wonderfully sums up one of the reasons why so many were surprised by the news that the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc had discovered the bodies of 215 children at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in BC, and Daniel Sims, chair of the Cowessess First Nation First Nations Studies, that had found another University of Northern British Columbia 751 unmarked graves at the former Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. Hearing about bad things in the past can be difficult, especially if people think it somehow implicates them in what happened. As a result, steps are often taken to approach such topics in a way that minimizes their impact on the listener.

Today we might call such measures creating a safe space and offer trigger warnings to let people know that something bad is going to be discussed. Both, however, are merely articulations of best practices employed by any competent educators dealing with a tough subject.

Of course, one could take the time-tested technique of simply not saying anything negative, but the truth has a tendency to make itself known, thereby creating a whole host of other problems. Still, by far, the worst approach is to blend the two styles together, that is to partially cover a topic while, at the same time, whitewashing it to make it more palatable. The Frontier Centre for Public Policy, for example, has employed this last method in its national campaign to explain away all of the dead children appearing in the news by both recognizing the problem of residential schools and minimizing the impact.

By now most of us are familiar with Indian residential schools in which the Canadian government contracted out the education of Indigenous children to numerous churches in Canada in order to assimilate them. What is often less talked about is the high number of deaths that occurred at these so-called places of education. Many times, these deaths were unexplained and/or the families were never informed. Indeed, some individuals simply disappeared into the system and remained unaccounted for. The medical experimentation that took place under the auspices of the various churches, the federal government, and the researchers in question and quite often their affiliated post-secondary institutions is also not discussed, even while Canada benefits from the knowledge these studies created on topics ranging from the effects of malnutrition on the human body to treatments for ear infections.

When I was a professor at Augustana, I taught about the high number of deaths at residential schools; for example, how the survival rate was lower than that of Canadian soldiers serving overseas during the Second World War. I also taught that children were experimented on, some went missing and that archaeologists across Canada were looking for remains at many residential schools, including the “first one”–the Mohawk Institute in Brantford, Ontario. These were difficult conversations that I facilitated, engaging in classroom discussion, rather than lecturing. It helped having a weekly “ask me anything” period, in which I answered any and all questions about what we covered.

Depending on the class, we even dived into the historical record to look at the writings of key figures, like John A. MacDonald, who, despite claims to the contrary, was well aware of what the system was, and even defended it against critics during his lifetime. In the Workshops in Building Capacity for Reconciliation with the Augustana and broader Camrose community, we examined the Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which discusses the history of residential schools. The bad news is that the graves at the Kamloops and Marieval Indian residential schools will most certainly not be the last ones to make headlines.

The good news is that opportunities exist for people to educate themselves on the topic, discuss what happened, and explore meaningful strategies to redress the shameful legacy of residential schools across Canada.

Margaret Holliston is retiring as the CDSS executive director after 14 years in that position.

She moved to Camrose with her husband in August 1986, after he had accepted a position with then Camrose Lutheran College, now University of Alberta Augustana Campus. “We thought we would stay for a couple of years. He has since passed away, but I am still here.

Admittedly, it took me many years–probably close to a decade–to get fully used to living in a small city in Alberta,” shared Margaret.

“I grew up by the ocean in Victoria, and had lived in Ottawa for six years before moving to Alberta. Having both my children here, and working with FCSS/CDSS, helped me get to know the more multi-dimensional aspects of both Camrose and the province.

“I first worked with FCSS as a researcher with Hutchinson Associates back in the 1990s. Bonnie Hutchinson, a familiar face and name to Camrose residents, had been an early director of CDSS, and knew FCSS and the history of FCSS very well. (FCSS, which stands for Family and Community Support Services, is a provincial-municipal partnership to provide locally determined preventive social services throughout Alberta via community-based programs like CDSS).”

She learned a lot about FCSS working with Bonnie and then learned a lot about CDSS working on two local projects: evaluations of the Camrose Senior Centre Society (which, at the time, owned the now Mirror Lake Centre), and the Neighbourhood Youth Centre (now Boys and Girls Club), both of which received funding from CDSS. Her role with the Family Violence Action Society evolved over the years and led to the executive director position. “When I was hired as the part-time coordinator of the Family Violence Action Society, FVAS had just received two significant multi-year grants, and entered into an administrative arrangement with CDSS, complete with a small office. Those early years saw much work on policy and

program development, and I remember one of my early board chairs Janet Bauer fondly as we worked on a lot of those tasks together. I still consider Janet a good friend and we’ve kept in touch over the years.”

Her position was parttime for the first five years or so, which left Margaret time to teach a course per term at Augustana: critical thinking, ethics, or social and political philosophy. “I enjoyed teaching, especially the balance of working with family violence at CDSS, and teaching philosophy at Augustana.”

The two areas complemented each other well.

FVAS started receiving CDSS funding around 200304 and, with a new grant from the provincial government starting, her position became full-time and she had to give up the teaching contracts.

“In the early years, we added some adult counselling and anger management groups to the original mix of services (men’s and women’s family violence groups).

In 2006, we started the Camrose Family Violence Response Council, which continues to meet, network, and cooperate on public education and professional development. The program and the position evolved much more under the past two program directors, Sheralyn Dobos and Lyndel Kasa, but I like to think that I helped create a solid foundation for FVAS back in those early days. It was also my privilege to contribute to CDSS overall during those years.

I got to know CDSS and my CDSS colleagues quite well and to understand the CDSS administrative structure much better.”

When her predecessor Wendy Gregg resigned her position in the summer of 2007, Margaret decided to apply for the job. Margaret’s tenure as CDSS executive director began Sept. 4, 2007.

“When I retire, I will be just shy of 14 years serving CDSS as its executive director.”

Until the end of 2006, CDSS operated within the administrative umbrella of Camrose County. Gregg did a lot of work to prepare CDSS to become autonomous from the County, but CDSS was still in the early stages of Margaret Holliston

this transition when Margaret was hired.

“The County continues as our Unit Authority vis-à-vis the province and municipal partners (City of Camrose and the Villages of Bawlf, Bittern Lake, Edberg, Hay Lakes and Rosalind) and my successor will continue with some of the ongoing, evolving operational and administrative adjustments even after my tenure is finished.”

Over the years, CDSS has had to cope with some FCSS funding challenges.

Between roughly 2009 and 2015, the provincial grant did not increase. As expenses increased, however, having the same income was experienced as a decrease in revenue. “We had to reduce expenditures, which we did, and find new sources of revenue, which we also did. CDSS accepted responsibility for administering the PrairieCentral FASD Network for a small admin fee, which we did for several years.

“A couple of internal CDSS programs acquired new project funding to augment core service funding.

These sources brought with them contract staff and extra work, however, resulting in increased pressure on our single HR/financial admin staff.”

In 2015-16, CDSS experienced another budgetary challenge: this time, the challenge of receiving “too much new funding” all at once through a two-step increase in the provincial FCSS grant over a very short period of time. The rather sudden infusion of funds required much unanticipated attention and planning to determine how they could be shared beyond current programs via short-time specific grants.

“Since our FCSS funds are public funds, CDSS financial management is very committed to transparency and accountability, both of which require skilled attention to a degree the general public might not realize. With the additional dollars, CDSS helped get Camrose Pride Community up and running, and provided seed funding to Camrose Public Library’s Snacks in the Stacks, among other things. The challenge quickly became a success story for CDSS and the community as a whole.

“I will miss my colleagues, but I am definitely ready to retire. I’ve been around long enough, and achieved enough to step aside and make room for the next executive director. I’m actually looking forward to a fallow year, and some visits to see family and friends in various places, now that we can finally travel again.

Then, we shall see.”

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.

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.

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.

We are now inviting applications for the position of

Parts Advisor As a front line position, dealing directly with our clientele, it is exceedingly important that we find the right candidate to fulfill our parts customers’ highest expectations. Our talented crew of Parts Advisors are adept at providing friendly, knowledgeable advice to customers about the equipment, accessories and parts available for a specific vehicle, helping them navigate to the right products to suit their needs. This invariably means meticulous research on various auto parts, and discerning which parts are compatible with which vehicles. A Parts Advisor is also responsible for maintaining and tracking inventory, and ordering supplies for the dealership.

The right candidate will be a high school graduate, and possess well-rounded computer skills. Experience is an asset, but not a requirement. An apprenticeship opportunity is available for the right individual.

If you are bright, personable, and thrive in a fast-paced working environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Algae Continued from page 21

A pastor decided to skip church one Sunday morning and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn’t feeling well. He drove to a golf course in another town so nobody would know him. He teed off on the first hole.

A huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yards and dropped it right in the hole for a 450-yard hole in one! An angel looked at God and said, “What did you do that for?”

God smiled and said, “Who’s he going to tell?”

Sleeping is hard in the summer because blankets are too warm, but without them I am vulnerable to monsters.

My son has been away all week at summer camp.

I asked my daughter, “Do you miss your brother?”

She looked at me, puzzled, and said, “Isn’t he in his room?”

Took our kids to a restaurant for the first time in over a year. As my six-year-old crouched in her chair, eating a burger patty like a feral child, and my four-year-old tried to remove her pants and painted her face with ketchup, it occurred to be that maybe we weren’t yet ready to re-enter society.

Me as a kid [falling 10 feet off monkey bars]: “I’m okay!!!”

Me now: “I tried to scoop ice cream that was a bit too frozen and I dislocated my shoulder.”

A real smart TV would increase the volume when you start eating potato chips.

I phoned my wife and asked her if she wanted me to pick up Fish and Chips on my way home from work, but she just grunted at me. I think she still regrets letting me name the twins.

The credit union has just introduced a new service where, when you request it, they will text you your savings account balance. It’s really cool.

I just wonder if the LOL at the end is necessary.

Friend: “Your kids have so much energy.

Where do they get it from?”

Me: “They suck it directly from my soul.”

A truck loaded with Vicks VapoRub overturned on the QE2 Highway during vacation season.

Amazingly, there was no congestion for eight hours.

Visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any recreational body of water.

Blue-green appears like scum, grass clippings, fuzz or globs on the surface of water, blue-green algae can be blue-green, greenish-brown, brown, and/ or pinkish-red, and often smells musty or grassy.

Weather and wind conditions can cause algae blooms to move from one location in the lake to another.

Note that areas of Little Beaver Lake in which the blue-green algae bloom is not visible can still be used for recreational purposes, even while this bluegreen algae health advisory is in place.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Four bedroom bungalow

There is no overdressing this summer. If you see me fully done up to go grocery shopping, mind your own business. These clothes have been waiting to be worn in public for months!

Is there a nicer feeling than being in a room full of people and the dog chooses to come and sit next to you?

I think not.

I used to date a girl who couldn’t stop counting.

I often wonder what she’s up to now.

Wore my husband’s shoes outside and now I can’t stop grilling things and checking my weather app.

Has anyone else used WD40 to get rid of mice?

It doesn’t work, but it stops the squeaking.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to see it… a chihuahua five hundred miles away will bark at it.

Husbands, every time you talk to your wife, you should be aware, “This conversation is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.”

When one door closes, another one opens.

Other than that, it’s a pretty good car.

A doctor’s toilet was plugged, so he called the plumber.

The plumber said, “It’s 3:00 in the morning, can’t it wait?” The doctor said, “If you were sick, I’d have to come out.” The plumber said, “Fair enough,” and went to the doctor’s house. He lifted the toilet seat, threw in two Tylenol and said, “Give it a few days and if it’s still the same, give me a call.”

When is a cow hairy on the inside and outside at the same time? When it stands in the doorway of the barn.

At my age, getting lucky means walking into a room and remembering what I came in for.

Whoever put the letter “B” in the word “subtle” is a genius.

By Lori Larsen

Now is the time to get into home ownership with this lovely four bedroom bungalow located in the beautiful Elizabeth Heights Park subdivision.

The virtually maintenance-free brick exterior of the home adds charm to the well-maintained home and property.

As you enter the home, you can head into the living room where you can enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace and gazing out the large front window.

Laminate wood f loors follow through to the formal dining area that could easily be used as a home office or family entertainment area that leads directly into the kitchen.

The u-shaped kitchen offers room to prepare meals while visiting with family or guests sitting in the kitchen nook area. Plenty of cupboards and counter space and a pantry mean lots of prep room and tucked away storage.

A patio door leads out to the stunning backyard with a deck and patio area, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

Retreat to your master bedroom and a private two-piece en suite after a long day. Two more bedrooms, one of which is currently set up as a spacious laundry area, and a four-piece main bathroom provide lots of living space.

The completely finished basement has a good-sized family room, two more bedrooms and a completely renovated three-piece bathroom. Older children could enjoy some privacy or you could easily set up a hobby room.

The backyard is beautifully maintained, thanks to underground sprinklers, fully fenced and features a grassy area, two garden sheds and a large paver brick pad with a gate for easy RV parking.

Ready for you to move right in, with fast possession, this home, located at 7013-43 Avenue and priced at $335,900, is the perfect place to finish out your summer and head into fall. For a personal viewing, contact Lyndsey Delwo at:
