CRE announces the Big One

By Lori Larsen

For 26 years the August long weekend in Camrose and area has been known for the Big Valley Jamboree (BVJ) up until 2020 and 2021 when the spectacular local event was postponed due to the pandemic.

For so many years the Camrose Regional Exhibition has welcomed back the community of BVJ who supports the Agriculture Society and their activities by participating in their largest fundraiser, the BVJ 50/50.

Unfortunately, with BVJ not being able to operate in 2020 and 2021, the CRE, like many agricultural societies across Alberta, is in danger of not having the funds to reopen and continue operating many charitable programs.

For that reason, members of the CRE board and CRE staff decided that, even though BVJ will not be running this year, they needed to move forward with their biggest fundraiser of the year, the 50/50 draw.

“CRE named this year’s 50/50 draw “The Big One” because every dollar raised is BIG to us” said CRE president, Brent Byers. “We’re truly hoping that anyone across the province who has visited our facilities, attended an event or understands the importance of the CRE will help us. Tickets start at just $5 and we’re truly appreciative of any support we can get as every dol-

lar goes back into our programs and facilities.”

CRE executive director Dianne Kohler added, “I don’t think people fully understand the importance of these societies, their venues and their programs to keeping rural Alberta alive.

“Our venues and programming are meant to serve our communities and drive economic sustainability which is why we were asked to build them decades ago. Rural communities count on their agricultural societies to be the gathering place in good times and bad while also continuing the important work of educating on agriculture. The loss of even one society and all that they organize/host can have a devastating impact on that community and surrounding region.”

Kohler used the BVJ as a prime example. “The loss of BVJ for one year has a $20+ million impact on the local Camrose economy and some small businesses that had been ordered shut during the first shut down, never reopened when they heard the news about BVJ 2020 not running.”

Agricultural societies are the heart of rural Alberta and rural communities. They not only act as host to community gatherings but many also act as Disaster Response Centres in their municipalities. The shut down and the inability to host events has put all agricultural societies at

risk, including the Camrose Regional Exhibition. Some have fallen already and more will not reopen with another hit against rural infrastructure and rural community development.

“Even though the CRE had a complete collapse of its revenue streams, we increased our free community programs such as hosting drive-in movies, online zoom dance parties for children, giving away garden plots, launching our youth leadership program and recording rural focused podcasts, as we knew the community needed us to step up with original programming so they could safely come together.”

The funds needed to restart the organization and continue with the important programs developed during the shutdown are critical to CRE’s survival and ability to continue offering innovation in CRE programming.

Draws will be made: Thursday, July 29; Friday, July 30; Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1.

“Every dollar is BIG to CRE,” said Kohler, which in turn pays back to the community.

For more information on how to get in on the 50/50 draw visit cre.ab.ca/5050/.

Crush to begin playing this fall

By Murray Green

Smoke gets in your eyes

You know how sometimes a song gets in your mind and it won’t stop playing? For almost a week, the song line that wouldn’t leave my mind was, “Smoke gets in your eyes.”

If you were around more than 50 years ago, you might remember some of the lyrics in a song by the Platters: When your heart’s on fire, You must realize Smoke

gets in your eyes.

The smoke getting in my eyes wasn’t because my heart was on fire. It was because a large chunk of British Columbia was on fire and the smoke covered Alberta.

Last Thursday, when the air cleared a bit and a patch of blue appeared in the sky, I almost wept happy tears.

The fires were still burning. People were still being evacuated. Meanwhile, as British Columbia was burning, Germany was drowning. I ached for all of that.

But clearer air and a patch of blue sky were in my world and my world got better.

Senior men’s hockey will be played in Camrose this fall. A new team, Camrose Crush, will be competing in the double-A category.

Team owner Colin Grindle is moving the former Daysland franchise to Camrose and renaming the team Crush. The team is remaining in the North Central Hockey League (NCHL).

“I’ve always had a dream of owning a hockey franchise. Tylor Keller came to me and said Daysland is thinking of disbanding and is available to acquire,” said Colin, who formerly coached in Devon in the same league. “Coaching against Daysland, I knew the legacy that the team had and the Zimmer family that owned the team. That legacy needed to continue. I have lived in

Reminder, in case we forgot: We cannot control the planet. It’s bigger and more powerful than all of us.

We can experiment, coax or cajole to see what the planet is willing to do–grow certain kinds of plants in certain locations, for example. But we cannot control the planet.

This year’s month of July is a case in point. Besides B.C. wild fires burning out of control and lethal floods in Germany, here in Central Alberta, we had the hottest week recorded in the past 100 years. That was followed by unseasonable cool–and then the smoke.

Could we control any of that? Nope.

Adapt and cope was as good as it got.

Another reminder that we cannot control the planet: gravity. A friend who worked for a large corporation got a new boss–the first female boss his work unit had experienced. My friend told about an incident during their first staff meeting.

Somebody brought up a situation that needed attention. The new boss asked, “Is that a gravity issue?”

Everybody looked puzzled.

The new boss asked, “When you get up in the morning, do you think about gravity?”

“No.” “Does gravity affect you?” she asked “Yes.” “Right. You don’t problem-solve gravity. You deal with it.” ***

Something else has been on my mind in this month of extremes. We cannot control the planet. But what we do affects the planet.

We know that the planet has experienced geographic and climate changes for millennia. Geologists have told us, for example, that eons ago, our part of North America was under water. There have been ice ages and whatever is the opposite of ice ages. Humans had no impact on that.

But we also know that human activity has caused changes in nature. Pollution from industry has poisoned lakes. Plastic bags are found in the bottom of the ocean.

Some forms of mining have destroyed pristine natural areas. Case in point: you can see the Fort McMurray tailings ponds from outer space. In some parts of the world, air pollution means people must wear masks when they are outside–even when there are no pandemic and no wild fires.

We cannot control the planet, but our impact on it causes changes that impact us. It is in our self-interest to be attentive to our impact on the planet.

Yes, astronauts, and now Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, have travelled into space. But for the foreseeable future, our planet is the only home that most of us will ever have.

Let’s deal with that. Let’s clean it up and keep it clean. That’s a gravity issue too!

Colin Grindle

Camrose for the past 11 years, so I knew if the team was going to continue it had to be in Camrose.”

He checked to ensure ice time would be available and booked Saturday nights at 8:15 p.m. (8:45 p.m. game puck drops) in the Max McLean Arena.

On June 30, the NCHL approved a request to relocate the Daysland Northstars to Camrose to become the Crush.

“Since then we devel-

oped a logo, are in the process of getting jerseys and are seeking a coaching staff for the team. We are preparing for an October start,” Colin added. “I was encouraged by the following of the Kodiaks and Vikings because people are at the rink already. People who may come out to watch us, can now come to watch two games. This should help all three teams.”

Colin plans to have the budget for the Crush covered in sponsorship funds.

“For the first game, season opener, we want to give the first 1,000 people a free ticket. I want to fill the barn on opening night. Ideally, we want 1,350 fans in the building. This is good hockey. We want to keep the ticket prices negligible with those 12 and under free.”

The team has 16 returning players, but they would have to make the team in a training camp, with no positions guaranteed. “It will be an open camp and we will card 35 players.

Only 21 will be dressed for games,” noted Colin. “We are budgeting for $50,000,” Colin said.

The team will have eight home and eight away games before playoffs and provincials begin.

“This team has been formed in Camrose to carry on the legacy of the Daysland Northstars dynasty.

The team will be compiled of former Kodiaks, Vikings and other players from the surrounding area. We plan to be a dominant team in this league for years to come. We will be a late night view after the Kodiaks or Vikings games,” said Tylor Keller, who played on the team in Daysland, as well as the Kodiaks and Vikings.

The Northstars compiled several league and provincial championships

in both the Battle River League (20 championships) and the NCHL. “I know right now that we will win the championship. I’m super excited about it and optimistic. I’m hoping to see the die-hard Daysland fans in Camrose as well,” added Colin.

The Northstars were NCHL Vanberg Cup champions in three consecutive years (2016, 2017, 2018), lost in the finals in 2019, and were poised to win again in 2020 until Hockey Alberta suspended the season due to the COVID-19 with Daysland holding a 2-0 series lead over Red Deer in the final series.

In provincials, Daysland were the Alberta Senior double-A champions in 2016, and runners-up in 2017 and 2019.

Daysland entered the

NCHL in 2015-16. Current teams are in Blackfalds, Bonnyville, Camrose, Devon, Fort Saskatchewan, Lacombe, Morinville, Red Deer and Westlock.

The Norsemen Inn, who will be involved with a beer gardens and brewing a new beer named after the hockey club, will be a gold sponsor of the Crush.

For more information in the team or for sponsorship details contact Colin at email camrosecrush@gmail. com or call 780-910-7953.

Kenney shares thoughts on Camrose matters

By Lori Larsen

On July 23, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney was asked to share his thoughts on matters of interest specific to Camrose and surrounding area.

Creating momentum for a slouching economy is one of the biggest concerns of all Albertans, including Camrose and area residents, especially with recent dry conditions and a downturn in the oil and gas industry heavily impacting rural communities.

“We are laser focused on economic growth and investment in rural Alberta,” said Kenney. “That is a big part of why I just created a special position for a new minister for Economic Development, (Associate Minister) Nate Horner.

“We have set aside $21 billion in our Capital Plan which is part of Alberta’s recovery strategy for the next three years and the emphasis for the allocation of that money is on infrastructure that will support future economic growth.”

When asked about what the Province could do to assist municiMurray Green, Camrose Booster palities, such as Camrose County Premier Jason Kenney greets Camrose guests at U of A Augustana Campus and the City of Camrose with col- with rural economic development associate minister Nate Horner and Serlaborative projects, such as the vice Alberta minister Nate Glubish.

We are helping rural and indigenous communities be very interested in helping with to build some infrastructure close Kenney said.

“It is the initial investment to this and happy to talk to MLA to a rail line.”

He indicated that projects such try to prime the pump as we try to Lovely and make sure that we are cooperating with the Camrose as the RJIASP are exactly what is in bring more federal and private secthe Provincial Government’s wheel- tor dollars into building up broadMunicipality on this.

“Just yesterday (July 22) I house. “It sounds quite exciting and band in rural Alberta.

“Right now about 20 per cent turned the sod at a similar project I would be happy to learn more and of households, all rural, have suboutside of Vegreville, which is a see how we can be helpful.”

In referring to the July 22 standard internet service, so we cooperation between us and the municipalities to develop an agri- announcement for $150 million want to push that up as high as we culture industry park that will in funding to be used towards can. We want this to be for busi-

nesses, households, as well as institutions–100 per cent of this investment is going into rural areas. We hope to be able to put together a broader package of upwards of $1 billion to really move the needle on rural connectivity so that rural Albertans can fully participate in the digital economy.”

Kenney said that investing in improvement of broadband service should assist in making rural life more attractive. “A lot of people are attracted to the quieter style of life and lower cost of living and if they can do that while being connected to digital work around the world, it is a huge plus for the province.

That is our focus.”

In reference to comments made by associate minister Horner during the July 22 announcement about the Province lobbying for high tech companies to invest in Alberta, Kenney added. “We are in discussion with major tech companies that are interested not just in locating seats in Edmonton and Calgary but elsewhere around the province. I have been in discussions with a major global tech company that is interested in potentially locating hundreds of seats in a couple of our mid-sized cities.

“Invest Alberta is our new crown corporation that is mandated to bring this kind of job creating investment to Alberta and they are very mindful that this is not just about Edmonton and Calgary. We have to push these jobs into rural communities, into smaller cities including Camrose and we are working with the local Regional Economic Development Authorities on exactly that.”

High-speed Internet to arrive for rural Albertans

By Murray Green

Rural communities will be able to have access to high speed Internet in the near future.

About 67 per cent of rural communities and close to 80 per cent of Indigenous communities in the province do not have access to stable Internet to the level set by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

The $150 million from the Government of Alberta will be used to begin construction on broadband expansion projects as soon as possible. Details on how this new funding will roll out will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Our economic recovery needs to include Alberta’s rural, remote and Indigenous communities. This investment ensures individuals, families and businesses in these parts of the province will not be left behind. It is Alberta’s way of saying that we’re ready to invest in this important technology and we’re looking forward to working with our partners to make it a reality for those in Alberta who need it,” said Premier Jason Kenney, at a press conference

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Service Alberta minister Nate Glubish announces Internet funds for rural communities across the province.

at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus on July 22.

“Alberta’s rural communities have struggled to grow and compete in a modern economy without access to reliable, high-speed

Internet. This investment will create jobs, improve access to health care and education resources, and diversify the economy in rural Alberta. This is great news for families, students and job creators all across

the province,” added Nate Glubish, minister of Service Alberta.

“Increasing access to broadband is vital to revitalizing rural communities and jump-starting economic growth. From La Crete to Taber, this will bring jobs and investment to villages, towns and Indigenous communities across rural Alberta,” said Nate Horner, associate minister of Rural Economic Development.

“Better connectivity in our communities means that Indigenous people will have better access to the global economy, health and education. This will help ensure that all Albertans have the same opportunities,” commented Chief Billy Morin, Enoch Cree Nation.

“Every dollar contributed to specifically addressing rural broadband addresses the significant digital poverty that rural Albertans experience. RMA feels this is one of the most effective investments to growing communities, supporting business and for supporting the future of modern agriculture and resource development. Rural Albertans will be pleased that they

have been heard,” shared Paul McLauchlin, president, Rural Municipalities of Alberta.

Premier Kenney said the province will continue to work with the federal government and service providers to give all Albertans access to high-speed Internet.

In 2016, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) declared broadband an essential telecommunications service and set targets to connect every Canadian home and business to minimum network speeds by 2030.

Approximately 201,000 Alberta households–the equivalent of 12 per cent of the population–do not have access to target speeds set by the CRTC. Alberta lags behind Canada-wide high-speed Internet rates of 54.4 per cent and 65.2 per cent, respectively.

The total cost of expanding rural broadband internet to underserved areas of the province is estimated at $1 billion and Alberta’s government is working with the federal government and the private sector to share the cost.

Kenney shares thoughts Continued from page 8

When asked what assurance there could be that the private sector will follow through with providing broadband service to rural and indigenous communities Premier Kenney commented, “Ultimately we (the Province) don’t dictate how Telus, Bell, Shaw and Rogers operate. They operate in a competitive environment and we are not a socialist province. So we don’t get into the management of companies. But what we are trying to do is to figure out where the Province can play a role to fill the gaps on broadband infrastructure and we have to trust that once the infrastructure is built that those companies will provide the service.”

He reiterated a point he made during the July 22 announcement. “If the Shaw/Rogers merger moves forward there will be a significant increase in service coming from that company as a major competitor.

Rogers has much deeper pockets than Shaw; they can afford to build more infrastructure and service it. I guess I am optimistic that those companies will continue to provide better service.

“Where necessary we will be happy to kind of nudge them but ultimately these are private market decisions that I don’t think the government should be micro-managing.”

Kenney was asked where the Province stands on continuing to support satellite post secondary campuses such as Augustana. “We made it very clear to the board and administration of University of Alberta that the satellite campuses are hugely important, both Augustana and Campus Saint-Jean and it also applies to Athabasca University.

“There were fears when our government came in that we would be shutting down a bunch of rural post secondary campuses or institutions, but none of that has happened. I know there has been some budget restraint.”

He remarked. “Let me be blunt. The University of Alberta has been the most expensive university in Canada, by a country mile.

Before the recent budget restraint they were receiving twice as much per student from the provincial government that the Ontario universities were receiving from their provincial government. That is inexplicable and we just can not sustain that with a $16 billion deficit.

“Having said that they know, it is in their Charter and in the legislation, that campuses like Augustana are a key part of their mandate and they must continue to offer viable and strong programming at campus and other satellite campuses.”

Infrastructure can be a costly investment for any municipality. During the City of Camrose recent updates on the budget for the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) upgrades, concerns were voiced by council that the provincial government (Alberta Environment and Parks) may change the requirements to be met by the City regarding the WWTP resulting in further costs to the City, and ultimately tax payers.

“We are very focused on cutting red tape,” said Kenney.

“Including red tape that drives the cost for tax payers and municipal government.

“I am going to make an inquiry with Minister Nixon on the requirements around Waste Water Treatment Plants. We will definitely look into that.

Fingers still do the walking BUT NOW IT’S ON DEVICES, NOT IN DIRECTORIES

“Show me a person under 40 years of age still using a phonebook and I’ll show you someone who’s probably still living in their parent’s basement.”

Tim Bailey MARKETING STRATEGIST

Every business in Camrose, one handy location

“I love solving problems like that with municipalities. If there are unnecessary provincial regulatory mandates that are making their (municipalities) operations unaffordable, that is exactly the sort of thing we want to solve.”

On a final note, Kenney was asked if there had been any feedback on the RAPID Response pilot

project and its mandate to provide rural communities improved response in the fight against crime.

“It is still in the early days. It is something that will help the RCMP focus on responding to a lot of these property crimes in rural Alberta by allowing things like routine traffic and policing to be handled by others (Alberta Sher-

iffs and Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Service). It is too early to have made an assessment, but let’s give it a shot.”

He concluded by saying that the Province will be launching broader consultations on the perspective advantages of an Alberta Provincial Police Service.

BRCF assists Watershed Alliance

Verlyn D. Olson Q.C., B.A., LLB

We’re here in our new Camrose office ready to help you with: Submitted Battle River Community Foundation vice-chairman Debbie Orcheski presents a cheque to Cindy Trautman, Camrose County Reeve, while Nathalie Olson, education and outreach coordinator of the Battle River Watershed Alliance and David Samm, general manager, look on.

Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded grants of $5,500 to Camrose County and the Battle River Watershed Alliance.

One grant, from the Foundation’s Field of Interest Fund and Community Fund, is to assist with the cost converting Watershed Alliance school programs for virtual delivery to school classes. The Waste in Our Watershed program and the Discover Your Wetlands program were both available during the pandemic because of these grants. Community Fund grants are given from income from donations made by generous residents of our area who leave decisions about the grant recipients to the Foundation Board. These donors are prepared to allow the Foundation to identify worthy recipients from among those who apply for grants during the annual granting period. Field of Interest

Funds are established by donors with an interest in a particular area, in this case in the environment, but allow the Foundation Board to select recipients from among grant applicants annually.

A second grant is from the Vernon Malone Fund.

It is a fund created to ensure a specific organization, in this case the Battle River Watershed Alliance, receives a grant from fund income annually.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support charitable organizations in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is

kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,250,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Lougheed Centre plans exciting year ion on December 5. “Get your tickets early for this show.”

Rattle and Strum has a folk sound with a dash of silliness for children that everyone will enjoy on January 16.

By Murray Green

It will be an exciting year of grand performances at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in the 2021-22 season.

After a cancelled season last year, the Lougheed Centre has a top notch season planned. You can see the acts for the upcoming season at the launch party on August 4. You can also watch the launch digitally.

“We are announcing 34 shows, which is our biggest season yet. We will be adding more shows later. We want to come out swinging and give people a sense of urgency to get back to normal. A change is that we had a subscription for each series with a pick six and pick 10. Coming out of the pandemic we didn’t want to ask people for bigger commitments.

We are keeping it simple with three or more a 10 per cent discount, five or more a 15 per cent discount and seven or more a 20 per cent discount,” explained Lougheed Centre general manager Nick Beach.

Last year, several concerts and comedy shows were offered with a digital ticket. “About 16 shows will offer both live tickets and digital tickets so viewers have a choice of how they want to watch. Digital tickets allows us to draw from all over the province.

We have become a leader in digital broadcasting because we were the first to the punch,” said Nick.

“We started our presentation series in October thinking the province may be slow to open up. But since the province opened up sooner than expected, we added special presentations in September,” he added. “It is important to note that this is all possible because of the fantastic community support that we have had, not only this year, but every year.”

All evening shows will begin at 7:30 p.m. and afternoon matinees start at 2 p.m.

“It is important to note the province, Augustana, City of Camrose and all of our sponsors made this season happen for us.”

Presentation Series

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald will start the Shuman Insurance Presentation Series on October 15.

This Calgary singer-songwriter offers honest lyrics, warmth and a connection to people that leaves everyone connected to his music.

Raven is a powerful and refreshing contemporary international (German) circus act about motherhood. It is both funny and a touching story. The show is on February 20.

Cabaret Series

The Central Agencies Cabaret Series launches with The Carolines who will be Breathing New Life Into Old Songs on October 2. They perform some songs from Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and the Dixie Chicks.

Shelley Jones and her jazz quartet performs A Touch of Cole with songs from both Natalie and Nat King Cole, as well as other great songs on November 6.

Rapid Fire theatre is back and this time they bring Off The Book, The Christmas Musical on December 18.

It will be on the big screen with HD. “Tickets for this show will be available through the Camrose Sea Serpents as a fundraiser for the swim club.”

Another group that was brought back due to demand is the Washboard Union. They return on November 5 with great old songs and some new tunes.

Project In Tandem is a contemporary dance performed by a group from Calgary that mixes dance with gravity-defying acts on November 13. It will be two separate pieces, Moving Through and It All Amounts to Something.

Christmas and dance go together for a family tradition in the Shumka’s Nutcracker and the bonus is that they booked two shows for Camrose, on December 10 and 11. “The warmest part of coming out of the pandemic will be watching families share Christmas together at these shows in a Christmas tradition,” added Nick. “It will be a Friday night show and a Saturday matinee. You can only see this show in Edmonton, Camrose and Victoria.”

Shows are subject to change and more shows could be added later in the year. Check the Lougheed web site at camroselive.ca or call 780-608-2922 for updates.

O’Toole vows to end unfairness

By Murray Green

Erin O’Toole, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, was in Alberta to share his vision to restore fairness to the province.

“He promised that the first step taken by a Conservative government would be an equalization rebate of $4 billion, which Albertans paid into the Fiscal Stabilization Program during the economic downturn. He also promised to pass the Equalization and Transfers Fairness Act, a bill introduced by Alberta MP Tom Kmiec,” said Battle River-Crowfoot MP Damien Kurek, who seconded that motion.

“You have been there for Canada. So, it is only fair that the rest of Canada will be there for you. It is time for the unfairness to end,” stated O’Toole.

On Saturday, July 10, Mr. O’Toole spoke to a crowd of around 200 at the Home Place Ranch, just outside of Three Hills, as part of his southern Alberta tour, where his message was one of restoring respect between Ottawa and Alberta and securing a prosperous future for Albertans.

At the event, Mr. O’Toole took the time to

connect with those in attendance and to answer their questions.

The event was hosted

by Kurek and neighbouring MPs Martin Shields and

Earl Dreeshen. Also in attendance were shadow minister for agriculture, Lianne Rood, and a number of municipal officials from the region.

Talk to us today about the benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions.

Pre-planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost-sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no-obligation consultation with one of our directors.

New community bus donation

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose will be putting a brand new Community bus on the road thanks to a very generous anonymous community donor.

During the July 19 City of Camrose council meeting, council authorized the funding of $41,566.61 toward the replacement of a community bus, which is estimated to cost, in total, approximately $150,000.

After discussions with the donor, administration is recommending that the City pay for the chassis and the donor pay for the body.

The cost to the City would be $41,566.61 for the chassis of the bus, which will be funded from the City’s Public Transit Reserve.

The remaining cost for the body of the bus will be funded by the donor.

A motion made during the July 5 council meeting recommended council follow the recommended floor plan for any new Community Bus, in accordance to the National Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The floor plan will consist of a fourteen (14) seat capacity, be equipped with three point seatbelts, fitted and an emergency exit door, and be able to accommodate and secure strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs.

“I would like to publicly thank the anonymous donor whomever he/she/ group (or organization) may be,” said councillor Wayne Throndson. “We appreci-

ate the ability to do this because we would not have been able to do this without the anonymous donor.”

The City of Camrose Community Bus has proven to be a vital service (provided by the Rose City Handivan Society) in the City operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., offering on-demand and group bookings on Mondays and Wednesdays.

had a balance of $243,878.

The City sets aside $30,000 per year for the eventual replacement of a Community Bus. In addition, the City sets aside $50,000 per year for eventual replacements of buses owned by the Handivan Society.

Currently the City is selling Unit 901 and upon receipt of the new bus is recommending the sale of Unit 902 as well.

Administration recom-

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose Community Bus program is selling off one of the older busses and will be seeing the addition of a brand new bus thanks to a generous donation

Currently the City owns two buses, one inservice and one spare. On June 7, council made a motion directing administration to sell Unit 901 (the current spare bus) either privately or at an appropriate auction site and that the revenue go toward the Public Transit Vehicle Replacement reserve.

As of Dec. 31, 2020, The Public Transit Reserve

mends the proceeds of the disposition of Unit 901 and 902 be transferred to the Public Transit Reserve, expecting the sale of Unit 901 to be approximately $20,000 and Unit 902 to be approximately $70,000.

Proceeding forward the City will continue to work with the donor with regards to options for the purchase of a new bus as applicable.

Working together to prevent elder abuse

By Murray Green

Alberta’s government is taking stronger action to help communities prevent and address elder abuse across the province.

The Family Violence Action Society for Camrose and District received $50,000 to help prevent elder abuse.

Seniors and housing minister Josephine Pon announced new initiatives for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The government is providing $750,000 to the Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council to support elder abuse prevention and intervention initiatives.

Approximately $650,000 of this funding will help coordinated community responses (CCRs) increase supports for seniors subjected to abuse. CCRs are multidisciplinary partnerships that can include a range

of partners, such as local governments, non-profit organizations, businesses, health service providers and police services.

The council will use the remaining funding to provide ongoing support for grant recipients, explore best practices for data collection and provide enhanced elder abuse awareness training for service providers and responders.

“Seniors built this province and are the strength of Alberta. Unfortunately, they are not always treated with the respect they deserve. Elder abuse is not acceptable for anyone, and in any form. These new initiatives will unite Alberta’s government with community organizations across the province to take stronger action against elder abuse,” said Pon. “Elder abuse is a complex issue that requires a coordinated, collaborative

response. Through case management funding, we can support the great work already going on in communities, and ensure response services are available for seniors experiencing elder abuse,” added Shantel Ottenbreit, chair, Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council.

In addition, Alberta’s government is undertaking an engagement with stakeholders and Albertans on elder abuse.

This dialogue is intended to update elder abuse responses through better understanding, recognition and prevention at the community level. The first step will be to seek input on a revised provincial definition of elder abuse. Stakeholder engagements will take place over the next few weeks, and a public engagement will launch later this year.

Vets, door knocking, Made in Alberta

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

I truly hope you are all enjoying the “best summer ever.” Recently, I have had the pleasure of spending time in all corners of our constituency and to see all the smiling faces, the laughter, the excitement is truly heartwarming. While in Calgary, I had the pleasure of having a number of meetings during the Calgary Stampede with stakeholders who can help me make a positive difference in our community. We are starting to experience a shortage of large animal veterinarians in our community.

For this reason, I organized a tour at the faculty of veterinary medicine at the University of Calgary. For any of our young people who may be interested in a veterinary career, the faculty has an inexpensive week-long online engagement, and you can find it by visiting vet. ucalgary.ca. Contact my office at 780-672-0000 and we will send you the link electronically.

Participants will receive $100 worth of “swag” prior to the camp start date, which includes things like a stethoscope, scrub shirt, bandage material, suture material, etc. The camp has an interactive zoom session twice a day and an individual online learning portion.

They will be taking prospective students through clinical cases on small animals, equine, cows, exotic animals, and wildlife. They have many professors and clinicians who will share information about their careers. I hope we have many participants!

I’ve recently started on my fifth door knocking campaign throughout the constituency. As your MLA, I don’t wait for election time to start door knocking. We will not have another provincial election for about two years. It’s my priority to get out now. To help me cover the whole community this summer, I hired some local students to work with me. At the time of writing this, we spent several days in Camrose and have also visited Heisler, Rosalind, and Forestburg. My objective is to touch base with everyone and just see how all the residents in the constituency are doing. I care about the well-being of every resident in our community. Upcoming, we have Daysland, Killam, Sedgewick, Lougheed, Bruce, Viking, Hardisty, Alliance, Galahad, Bawlf, Tofield, Ryley, Holden and the rest of Camrose. It’s good to have conversations with everyone and for those who I missed, we are leaving a door knocking piece with contact information. I still meet people that I have never seen face-to-face before.

It’s always hard to find a good time to see everyone as schedules are busy. In past door knocking campaigns, I’ve gone into our rural communities to visit with farmers.

If I don’t get out to your farm, please feel free to visit my office in the future. Getting to know everyone is important to me and I’m happy to help anyone who needs my assistance.

Residents of the Camrose constituency love to support our local farmers and ranchers which is why I’m excited about the government’s “Made in Alberta” initiative. Agriculture and forestry minister Devin Dreeshen unveiled a label that will help shoppers identify the food products they usually buy are made in our province. If you see a tag on a package of beef, for example, that says, “Made in Alberta, by Albertans” then you know you are getting top quality food, while supporting our local producers. Watch for the label when you are shopping at a farmer’s market or grocery store.

Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone and I hope this is the best summer ever.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact my office. We are always here for you!

You can contact Jackie Lovely, Camrose MLA, at Constituency Office, 104, 4870-51 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1S1. Tel: 780-672-0000, camrose@assembly. ab.ca or at Legislature Office, 6th Floor, 9820-107 Street, Edmonton, AB T5K 1E7.

Powerline Baseball starts playoffs

By Murray Green

The Powerline Baseball League played an eight game schedule to determine the seedings for the 2021 playoffs.

The Vegreville Blue Jays went 8-0 to claim top spot and will play the winner of the wild card game.

The Armena Royals

placed second with a 4-3, while the Tofield Braves were even at 4-4 to place third. Those teams will square off in the playoffs.

Game two is in Tofield on July 27 and if a third game is needed it will be in Armena on July 29.

Both the Camrose Roadrunners and Rosalind Ath-

letics ended up with a 3-5 record and played to determine which team qualifies for the playoffs and take on Vegreville. Rosalind made a dramatic comeback to win the game and earn the right to take on Vegreville.

Rosalind hosts Vegreville in game two on July 27.

Johnson close to ready for Viking Cup book release

By Murray Green

LeRoy Johnson is ready to release his book about the Viking Cup this fall.

He will be holding a book launch this September.

However, LeRoy released a few tidbits about the book prior to it going to press.

“The Viking Cup was much more than a hockey tournament. It was a cultural event that brought many countries together,” said LeRoy, the Viking Cup coordinator for 20 years. “There are a lot of stories within stories throughout the book.

It took me about five years to write and I interviewed about 400 people. Talking to people about the book became inspiring because they remembered wonderful things about their lives,” explained LeRoy. “The Viking Cup was on the leading edge of international hockey. The CanadaRussia series was in 1972 and we went over to Europe shortly after in 1974, which was the beginning of it all.

We were in on the ground floor of the hybrid of Canadian and international hockey. We didn’t know it at the time, but started the blend of the hockey systems with international tournaments,” shared LeRoy. He used the analogy of a lake and all of the streams coming together, similar to Mirror Lake and the City of Camrose. “These

countries didn’t just bring their sticks and pucks.

They brought their history, culture and politics—they brought everything. Not just to the arena, but to the homes of the people who were billeting the players.

My original title that I was thinking was, “Viking Cup, Much More than a Hockey Tournament.” My sub title is “A Small College Scores Big Time.” It shows the littleness and bigness,” continued LeRoy. “In the book, I had to introduce Camrose. It is a story of bigness and littleness. It is a story of international hockey and various countries in the world and the story of this little town on the prairies that brought these countries together,” he said.

“It’s kind of a story about this little hockey town on the prairies opening its doors and welcoming the world and the world comes knocking,” said writer Mike Gould about the Viking Cup, who’s father Tom was a member of the 1974-75 Canadian champion Vikings.

The Viking Cup was a world ice hockey tournament in Camrose from 1981 to 2006. In 2002, there was a mix of international and Canadian junior league allstar teams, which didn’t sit well with some clubs and fans.

LeRoy Johnson

“Here, you will read and sense the comfort of small, rural Camrose, blended with the size and requirements of numerous nations, including Russia, at a time when the world’s political Cold War was an everyday reality. International politics, pure athletic competition and large dollops of good will came together and created an event worth holding, and a story worth telling,” said sports writer and radio host John Short.

“We had a local paint-

er create artwork that we used for marketing and on the cover of the program.

This brought art into the hockey tournament,” he said. “Anders Hedberg, who played for the Winnipeg Jets and New York Rangers, became a scout for the Toronto Maple Leafs and came here for the Viking Cup. I heard that he was a good speaker, so I got in touch with him to be our guest speaker for the banquet. He did, and was an outstanding speaker. After

the banquet I gave him a print of the painting. Fast forward to about a year ago.

I received a call from a former student at Augustana from Sweden who played here. He said he ran into Anders on the street and talked about Camrose. First thing Anders says to me when we were on the phone is that ‘I’m sitting here in my office and looking at the opposite wall looking at my favourite painting.’ He said ‘You gave me that painting 30 years ago.’ This story shows the Viking Cup was much more than chasing pucks,” said LeRoy. LeRoy will be donating the proceeds of the book to the Augustana Vikings hockey team, through the alumni association.

“I like to look at the footwork of the future of hockey, that is why I went to the Viking Cup, that is why I recommend this book,” said nine-time NHL Stanley Cup winning coach Scotty Bowman.

The players were billeted by local families, living with them for the two weeks the tournament occurred. The tournament enjoyed great support from the community as many others volunteered to assist with the tournament.

To order a copy of the book or to receive more information email AVHAA.Camrose@gmail.com.

Shooting competition fires off in Camrose

By Lori Larsen

Residents living near the Camrose Gun Range may have heard a little more firearm activity on the weekend of July 10 and 11 during the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) shooting match.

Approximately 115 competitive shooters came to, and stayed in, Camrose from across Alberta, including some from Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to compete in a weekend practical shooting match.

“They were outstanding hosts.”

IPSC members, family, friends, guests and spectators came together in Camrose and in doing so, not only brought light to a popular sport, but brought visitors to the Camrose area, supporting local businesses and economy.

According to Schoen-

est member being 10 years old and the eldest 76.

“The youngest member attending the Camrose match was 13, in the ladies’ category,” smiled Schoenberg, stating that women make up just over 10 per cent of IPSC Alberta’s membership. “Her grandmother also shot in the match.

“The sport can be enjoyed by anyone,” said Schoenberg, adding that the IPSC events are family friendly with fam-

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Targets were located on the other side of snow fencing that emulated walls, requiring shooters to aim through the specified openings.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster IPSC member and a competition shooter squats down to get a steadier aim during a shoot at one of the two “hot stages” at the weekend competition.

“We selected the range in Camrose due both to the quality of the facilities and the physical layout of the shooting bays or individual shooting areas,” explained IPSC Association of Alberta, North Central Zone director David Schoenberg.

“In order to make an IPSC match work with close to 120 competitors, we need to have a minimum of four stages in a match, and the layout of the range needs to allow for all four stages to be shot concurrently.”

According to Schoenberg, the physical layout at the Camrose Gun Range allows for five shooting bays /five concurrently shot stages.

“We sometimes will put two small stages into one bay (referred to as ‘hot’ stages)–these are two very short stages in one bay, shot one right after the other.”

The Camrose Range proved to be a prime location for the July 10 and 11 match, and the weekend was enjoyed by attendees and spectators alike.

“He (match director) reserved two blocks of rooms at Camrose Resort Casino and both blocks sold out.”

As well, the attendees frequented local eateries and gas stations, and Schoenberg said that over $2,000 was spent at Home Hardware in Camrose purchasing lumber and other building supplies.

“We rented a number of porta-potties locally at a cost of approximately $600, and we invited a local food service vendor to be at site.”

IPSC Alberta holds an average of 30 matches per year (typically two per given match weekend) and are held as far south as Lethbridge and as far north as Fort McMurray.

“During the winter months, we hold indoor matches. Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary have indoor ranges that can accommodate us.”

How it works

After having spent time touring the match in

Camrose, it became clear that this sport is taken very seriously by the competitors and operates like an incredibly well oiled machine.

Schoenberg pointed out the match is divided into two times, morning and post-lunch, and when a competitor is not shooting, they are working the match. “We have a motto, ‘You have to work to shoot.’”

Operating the matches this way creates a sense of ownership and ensures that the standards throughout the match are consistent and fair.

Shooters, regardless of their experience, occupation or age, must also successfully complete the Black Badge course in order to be allowed to compete in sanctioned IPSC matches in Canada.

“The Black Badge is two days of range and classroom training, including instruction on proper holster use and movement with a loaded handgun, among many other topics and skills.”

At a given match, competitors are grouped into divisions based on the types of handgun they’re shooting. Everyone shoots the same ‘courses of fire’, or ‘stages’, but people are only scored against others in their division.

Safety is the number one priority in all that

IPSC

IPSC was founded in 1976 to promote and preserve the sport of practical shooting and has been practicing in Canada since 1977. More than 100 countries around the world take part in the precise and challenging sport.

In Alberta, there are approximately 500 IPSC members, with the young-

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The long stage involved running a course with several targets, some more challenging than others.

IPSC does and teaches, and the matches are no exception.

There are three levels of officials, who not only officiate the shooting and scoring, but ensure that everyone at the match adheres to strict safety measures.

“IPSC match officials must attend formal training sessions and are certified by the National Range Officers Institute of Canada (NROI).”

The three levels of officials include: • Range Officer (RO) – responsible for monitoring the safe conduct of the individual shooter during their attempt at a ‘stage’.

• Chief Range Officer (CRO) –responsible for monitoring the safe conduct of everyone (including the ROs) on a given ‘stage’ or ‘course of fire’.

• Range Master (RM) – responsible for the safe conduct of the entire match (stages, officials, competitors, spectators, facilities et al).

“All certified officials are required to attend a minimum number of matches per year to maintain their credentials.”

Shooters step up to the starting point of each stage, focused on the task at hand, firing (for the most part) two rounds into targets that are strategically placed throughout the stage area, with as much speed and accuracy as possible. Like any sport, there is a degree of friendly competition, but for the most part, it is about participating in a sport that brings like-minded people together, creating a sense of pride in their own skills.

County declares food week

By Murray Green

I will return once more

On our holiday, we developed a bit of a theme song.

At home, I regularly sing and I make up my own words to songs, which I like to think that my children find…endearing.

We were at the start of a nine day canoe trip, sitting around the campfire while my husband napped in our red hammock nearby, and searching for an appropriate campfire song. We quickly settled on “Land of the Silver Birch”, a Canadian folk song that my 10-year-old son learned at school and then on the guitar this year. The words really resonate with me and fit so well with our adventure: Land of the silver birch, Home of the beaver Where still the mighty moose, Wanders at will Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more We sang it in rounds to our hearts content, and then it often returned unbidden as we dipped our paddles into the clear waters, loons beside us. My son said the verse “I will return once more” means a promise to your family that you will return home, whereas I like to think of it as a promise to the nature around you that you will return to enjoy it again.

Then came the portage to Dabbs Lake. This is a lake on our annual trip that for some reason calls to my husband as a grand adventure. One year we had a canoe cart laden with all our supplies and were sinking into knee-deep mud before my husband conceded that it was too wet of a year to attempt to get to the lake. Each year, we have hiked the portage, swatting masses of mosquitoes away, to sit on a pile of logs and look at the lake while eating lunch. Safe to say, it is not my favourite part of the trip.

This year, due to severe wind days before we started the trip, there were several large trees across the trail. We did our annual pilgrimage to stare at the lake and I hoped that was the end of it. Days later after completing a circuit into another lake, and I suppose still looking for more adventure, we camped near the start of the portage and planned to haul our canoe in so that we could actually paddle the lake and see what state the campsite was in that was shown on the map. To my surprise, families with young children whom we had met earlier were also planning to hike the portage to see the lake that day, though not with their canoe along. (Other people are doing this…for fun?)

We started ahead of them while they ate lunch, stopping regularly to saw trees off the path, yanking and bumping the canoe cart over roots and small trees. Of course I had to start singing, if nothing else to take my mind off the mosquito I had just swallowed. The words of our theme song were changed to: Down at the Dabbs portage, We’ll drag our canoe Over the squishy marsh, While eating mosquitoes Friends are behind us, They think we’re craaazy This drove our kids crazy. They begged me to stop in case our new friends caught up and they would be supremely embarrassed. Our friends caught up, scooted ahead to escape the insects and our children happily scampered off with them as their dad wrestled with a large tree. I tried to blend in with the crowd marching off, but got hauled back to help get our canoe to the water. A bit later, it started to rain and we donned rain jackets and continued our processional to the water. We were finally able to paddle on the elusive lake, found the campsite, and read the memorial. The lake was named in honour of a 20-year-old Howard Earl Dabbs from Forestburg who was killed in action at the controls of his Lancaster bomber during the Second World War. We then carried our canoe and gear back to camp before a big rain that night. This nearly inaccessible lake has also captured the imagination of our children and talk began immediately on how to camp there next year.

These trips are life-changing for us and our kids. We were truly up close and personal with nature, seeing a small black bear rooting through the grass on the mainland while we camped on an island, spotting over a dozen deer and several beavers, identifying 17 kinds of birds and watching baby birds “run” across the water to catch up to their families. Our kids helped with simple camp chores like setting up our tent and sleeping gear, pumping water and collecting firewood, making sticks for roasting marshmallows and cooking bannock.

They saw how little we actually need. I will return once more.

Imperial almost new with low mileage

By Murray Green

Alvin Mayer of Heisler owns a 1969 Chrysler Imperial.

“I’ve had this car for about six years. It belonged to the father of a friend of mine. He passed away and it was stored in a shed.

They had a daughter who was married and they wanted to move onto the property, so they wanted to get rid of it. That’s when I purchased it,” recalled Alvin.

The Chrysler Imperial, introduced in 1926, was Chrysler’s top-of-theline vehicle for much of its history. Models were produced with the Chrysler name until 1954, after which it became a standalone brand; and again from 1990 to 1993.

“I wanted this car because it had low mileage and it is an enjoyable car to drive. It handles the road well, very nice to drive,” he shared.

The company positioned the cars as a prestige marque to rival Cadillac, Continental, Lincoln, Duesenberg, Pierce Arrow, Cord and Packard.

Since Alvin received the car, he hasn’t done a lot to it. “It is in good condition and only has 30,000 miles on it. The fellow that owned it had polio, so I had to change a few things.

The signal light was on the steering wheel so he could

use it with his right hand.

The ignition switch was moved from the left to the right, so he could operate it with his right hand. I put everything back to the way

FUN FACTS

In 1969, keeping with the times, the look was sleeker, with a reduced, more subtle level of trim. For the first time, the lights were hidden behind doors, giving a fashionable, at the time, full-width grille look using loop bumpers. Only this year the Imperial featured sequential turn signals. In 1969, it was the final model year for pillared sedans and it was also the first year for the Imperial LeBaron coupe. At 229.7 in. (5,834 mm), the Imperial once again became the longest non-limousine car made in America, and would remain so through 1973 when it would set the post-Second World War record for non-limousine car length. A total of 22,083 were produced, making it Imperial’s third-best ever year. Ambruster-Stageway of Fort Smith, Arkansas continued with limousine conversions using the 1969-71 sheet metal. Twelve conversions were delivered over the three years, including one for then New York governor Nelson Rockefeller.

Beginning in 1967, the Imperial Division, offering three ranges (Custom, Crown and LeBaron), retreated from their separate body-on-frame construction and their unique body on a 129.5-inch wheelbase. They continued to use their unique front suspension with torsion bars longer than all other Chrysler products.

it originally was when the car was new,” said Alvin.

“It didn’t have rust, but a lot of dust from being in a shed for many years.”

For several decades and multiple generations, the Imperial was the best of Chrysler and the favourite choice of luxurious transportation for senior executive leadership, government officials, royalty and various celebrities.

“The Imperial has a 440 engine with an automatic transmission. The only bad thing is I don’t get to drive it much. I have a few vehicles, so I can’t drive them all at once, only one at a time. I wanted to go to the Camrose car show, so I thought I would bring this one since I haven’t driven much lately,” said Alvin.

Over the years the appearance, technological advancements and luxurious accommodations updated with the latest trends and fashionable appearances. Limousines, town cars and convertibles

were the usual appearances, while special coachwork choices were provided by the industries best providers, to include Derham, Fleetwood, LeBaron and others.

“The interior is in good condition. It has a heater in the trunk that shoots out heat to the back seat. It has air conditioning, power antenna and a few extra features,” he said.

Medical services A few weeks ago, my granddaughter required the services of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the emergency department at St. Mary’s Hospital. The people of Camrose and surrounding area are extremely fortunate to have the services of such dedicated individuals.

T he a mbu l a nc e attendants were the most k nowledgeable, caring young women.

Not only to my granddaughter, but to me as I waited for updates to her condition. The doctors and nurses in the emergency department were also the most caring people.

T hey kept us informed at every step of medical procedures.

When the decision was made that there needed to be a transfer to intensive care at the U of A hospital, again the ambulance attendants, doctors and nurses were wonderful. They made sure the family knew exactly where to go at the U of A Hospital. The medical staff at the U of A Hospital were provided with the phone number of my daughter and son-in-law to keep them informed until they arrived at the hospital.

Many many thanks to EMS and St. Mary’s Hospital emergency doctors and nurses. You are sincerely appreciated.

A big thanks to the off-duty Camrose Police officer who saw my granddaughter fall.

He quickly went over to her and called 911. A big thanks to my granddaughter’s co-worker Garth who came looking for her when she didn’t arrive at work like she normally did. He saw what had happened and quickly called her dad.

Camrose is full of great people.

T h a n k f u l ly, my granddaughter is now home recuperating.

Penny D. Fox, Camrose Give them knowledge I would like to say that I agree with the education insight of Dav id L iv i ng st one, PhD, writer of an Epoch Times article where he concludes NDP crit-

ic Sarah “Hoffman is wrong…it [our soon new K-6 curriculum] brings knowledge back into the curriculum.” The theory of Discovery Learning (DL) that Hoffman and now Karen Green of Sherwood Park support has been a failure in the classroom over the past few decades. I found DL actually means to dumb-down our children (teachers know that what they were teaching to a Grade 3 class in the ’70s was being taught to a Grade 5 class in the ’90s) plus all advanced classes for the early grades were removed; today, they are removing advanced programs from high schools in the name of “inclusion”. I withdrew my children from the public school system in the ’90s because of this mediocrity in education with no celebration of diversity or interests and abilities of the students.

Shame on the mindless adults who pick and choose at: diversity, inclusion, equity (DIE) and do so on the backs and minds of our children and their future.

Our children need the opportunity to think from a mindset of knowledge that they have been able to accumulate year upon year–this is what the new curriculum is designed to do, without controlling the method teachers choose to implement it. I’m quite tired of hearing about the lies that the UN Agenda, some politicians and others want taught in our classrooms: e.g. that socialism is good when all socialist countries fail (even Sweden is changing its socialist policies); the latest lie of DIE education is: white settlers were evil and Aboriginals honourable.

Why are the governments pushing to give all land to Aboriginals? (It doesn’t make sense, considering that the tribes of Aboriginals were actually killing each other off to the point of maybe 8,000 living in North America at the time the white man arrived.) Is it because the UN globalists want the land and it would be easier to confiscate it from five per cent of the

population–the Aboriginals–than to confiscate it from the white and black population that own it today?

Be awake to the lies that the UN (globalists) pass down to our governments, similar to how WHO (globalists) has passed lies to our medical people about the China-covid-19 virus, who in turn have passed it on to us.

Tina Kawalilak, Camrose County Top heavy I would like to comment on the letter which Mark Lindberg wrote in the July 20 Camrose Booster.

I agree with him that these oil companies should not spend so much money on the top management of their company. Now, this is my opinion only and all of you can take this or leave this.

I work for a private company and I am proud to stand behind what our company has done in the health care field. Our company is a non profit organization which is the model which all health organizations should follow.

Our company cut from the top and added to the bottom. From what I see is that these places are cutting from the bottom in order to protect the wages of those in the top of the company. I believe that, in my opinion, every health care company should be a non profit.

This means that the boards are volunteering their time. Government money should all go to the bottom to fund where the help is needed the most. Now, cutting the wages of nurses and doctors is the wrong way to go. Why not cut the unnecessary positions in the top management while adding to the bottom so that Albertans will be looked after?

This is just something for all of you to ponder.

This is my opinion only and like I have stated, take it or leave it.

Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

1979 ~ 2021 Kara was born on August 7, 1979 in Camrose, AB on her maternal Grandmother’s 40th birthday. She was such a happy, cheerful child with a huge smile on her face which endeared her to so many. At the age of three, her absolute favourite book was ‘The Night Before Christmas’. Among a stack of options, it was this book that was chosen countless times. On Christmas Eve, she stood before her extended family and recited, from memory, the entire book word for word. Kara had an incredible mind and memory; she was an exceptional student throughout her academic career leading to many professional accomplishments.

In her career with Ledcor, Kara took on a role that few women had before her, and that many respected and admired. Later, Kara and Sean formed their company, Clover. Together, they dove headfirst into many amazing projects and adventures with their dog, Ruby, by their side.

In their spare time, Kara, Sean, and Ruby enjoyed being at their seasonal campsite. They shared campfires, golf games, and laughter with Kara’s best friend, Haley Fotty (aka “Wifey”) and her family.

Kara was loved by so many who she met through curling, golf, slo-pitch, and all of her work adventures. She had a magic combination of kindness, intelligence, and quick-witted, off-colour humour that so many enjoyed.

Kara will be lovingly remembered by Sean Rutherford, their dog, Ruby, his children: Madex, Seth, and Sophia, and his family Gaetan and Kimberly Rutherford (Randy), parents: Kevin and Lori Lindholm, Susan and Jim Schofield, and their family: Kelly Torkelson (James) and Colby; Kandace McClements (Scott) Jaxon and Jett; Matt Webb (Katherine), Basel and Avery; Ashli Lindholm (Holly); Haley Fotty (Travis), Emersyn, Evie and Harrison; Curtis Schofield; Wesley Schofield (Ashley), Finn, Jules and Nohl; Grandparents: Irene Kendall (Cal); Vi Madison; Amazing Neighbours: Eunice Wong (Kent) and family, as well as numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Kara was predeceased by her grandparents: Lorne Kendall, James and Lois Lindholm, and Rod Madison.

Kara’s “Thing” (Celebration of Life) was held at the Ellerslie Curling Club on Friday, July 23, 2021, at 2:00 pm. Ellerslie Curling Club (530 71 Street SW, Edmonton, AB T6X 1A3).

As an expression of sympathy, the family welcomes donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, MS Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BGC Bigs), or a charity of your choice.

Griffon, Hornet and Snowbirds take to the skies

Three-year-old Theo Gaudin and his granddad Paul Colborn came from Edmonton to take in the Drive-In Air Show.

Three-year-old Paisley and her dad Wayne Brown were enjoying a tailgate party while taking in the air show.

CH-146 Griffon pilot thrills the audience with a car carry and drop.

Snowbird solo pilots perform breathtaking demonstrations.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster As Camrose skies roared with the sound of jets overhead, on the ground you could hear a different roar of excitement as attendees at the Camrose Drive-In Air Show, held on July 24 and 25, cheered and clapped for the Canadian Forces demonstration pilots.

The two-day event, presented by the Camrose and Iron Creek Flying Clubs, welcomed carloads of excited spectators who sat on their tailgates or lawnchairs beside their vehicles and were wowed by the amazing aerobatic maneuvers of the CF-18 Hornet fighter jet, the CH-146 Griffon tactical helicopter and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.

You could hear a pin drop while the two solo Snowbird pilots created a huge heart in the sky in honour of the Heie family.

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.

Schizophrenia fundraiser

By Murray Green

Schizophrenia Society of Alberta and the Camrose office is ordering Cuppa Hope Blend, a medium roast coffee as a fundraiser for programs and expenses.

“This blend is specially prepared for the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta,” said Anthony Holler, peer support program coordinator in Camrose.

One in 100 people will have some form of schizophrenia in their lives. The programs you help through your purchase of SSA’s coffee help reduce hospital visits and offer supports to those with schizophrenia, as well as their families and loved ones.

For more information on the fundraiser or the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta, contact Anthony Holler at aholler@schizo phrenia.ab.ca.

CGWS presents wildlife dos and don’ts

By Lori Larsen

If you are looking for a summer activity that doesn’t have to cost a lot, is close to home and will deepen your appreciation for all things wild and wonderful, get out and explore some wildlife in your own backyard. But before you do, take in the Camrose Greenspace and Wildlife Society final summer presentation, ‘The Do’s and Don’ts of Wildlife Tourism’, to be held Thursday, July 29 via Zoom.

“We will be featuring Carolyn Cook, BSc Environmental Science, and she will be speaking about seeking wildlife tourism,” said Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator, Rhyleigh Henault.

“She will focus on some activities that are safe and aid in raising awareness for conservation of vulnerable species, while other forms of wildlife tourism are unsustainable, exploitive, and do more harm than good.”

According to Cook it isn’t always obvious which activities are ethical and which are not.

Attendees will learn how to tell the difference and decide for themselves what is worth the cost of admission.

On July 22, over 15 people turned out at Dr.

My whole life I never read a warning label telling me not to eat laundry detergent or put glue in my hair.

Somehow, I just knew. Perhaps I’m a genius!

The first bottle of Coca Cola from 1894 contained around 3.5 grams of cocaine. This explains why our grandparents could walk to and from school, uphill, both ways, in the snow, barefoot.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator Rhyleigh Henault, front left, and presenter Dr. Greg King, front right, welcome guests to a presentation on Urban Forests.

Greg King’s presentation on Urban Forests.

“We had a fantastic turn-out at our first and only in-person event,” noted Henault. “Greg gave so much valuable knowledge about how having trees in our urban areas can not only benefit us aesthetically, but also the tremendous economic, psychological and community benefits.

“We also learned about trees’ ability to decrease floods, cool our streets, and their effectiveness at holding huge amounts of carbon within them.

The presentation covered the importance of tree diversity in urban areas

in order to decrease the spread of tree diseases and pest infestations.

“Overall, the walk was a great way to enjoy a beautiful evening and learn some new things along the way.”

Attendees at the July 29 presentation will be eligible to enter a random draw to be made at the end of the presentation.

For more information about the Camrose Greenspace and Wildlife Society or to receive the Zoom link invitation for the July 29 presentation, email Rhyleigh at wildlifestew ardship@camrose.ca.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Th re e b ed ro o m h a l f d u p l ex

By Lori Larsen

Are you looking for a great start to home ownership or potential to subsidize your income with a rental property.

Then this three bedroom half duplex may be exactly what you need.

Located in the Cascades neighbourhood, there are parks, playgrounds, shopping, golfing and restaurants all within walking distance.

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms offer plenty of room for a young family starting out or the possibility of having a roommate to help pay the mortgage.

Upgraded flooring brings a fresh look to the home and subtle paint colours and white trim keep it stylish.

An open floor plan makes the home bright and airy.

The living room flows easily into the well appointed kitchen, with a corner pantry that offers plenty of extra stor-

age. A dining area adjacent to the kitchen makes staying in on the conversation easy while preparing meals. A door leads directly from the kitchen/ dining area to the back deck so you can easily take your living to the great outdoors. A twopiece powder room on the main level is convenient for visitors.

Retreat to the privacy of the upper level and the master suite with a walkin closet and its own private four-piece en suite. Two more bedrooms and another four-piece bathroom keep the noise of the main level away from sleeping areas.

The basement is ready for you to complete to your specific needs.

Your own private backyard is fully fenced and a double attached front facing garage is a huge asset.

Well worth a look, this half duplex located at 6802-50 Avenue #3 priced at $239,900, provides the perfect opportunity to get into home ownership on a low budget. Join Al for an open house on Friday, July 30 from 5 until 7 p.m.

A pirate went to the doctor the other day and said “I have moles on me back aarrrgh!” The doctor said “it’s okay, they’re benign.” The pirate responds, “Count again, I think there be ten.”

So, if a cow doesn’t produce milk is it a milk dud, or an udder failure?

If you wait long enough to cook dinner, everyone will eat cereal. Follow us for more recipes!

Sometimes the thoughts in my head get bored, and go for a stroll out through my mouth. This usually doesn’t end too well.

My housekeeping style is best described as: there appears to have been a struggle.

More proof that girls mature faster than men: men don’t develop breasts until their mid-forties.

The inventor of Velcro has died. RIP! “I’m going to the store. You can come if you want.”

– My wife telling me that I’m going to the store with her.

Behind every great man is the drawer that I need to get into, why are you even in the kitchen right now?

While you can’t buy happiness, you can marry a Ukrainian cook and that’s kind of the same thing.

I once dated a girl with a twin and people always asked me how I could tell them apart. It was simple, Alison painted her nails and Bob had a beard.

Someone broke into my garage and stole my limbo stick.

Seriously, how low can you go?

I guess having a dog named Shark at the beach wasn’t a great idea.

They say with age comes wisdom, therefore they are not wrinkles, they are wise cracks.

I felt uncomfortable using GPS to drive to the cemetery.

When I arrived it blurted out “You have reached your final destination.”

Sleeping next to someone you love makes you fall alseep faster, reduces depression, and helps you live longer – until they start to snore.

I woke up this morning determined to drink less, eat right and exercise. But that was four hours ago, when I was young and full of hope.

Tip to keep brownies fresh – eat them all in one sitting.

Sometimes when you cry, nobody sees your tears.

Sometimes when you’re hurt, nobody sees your pain.

Sometimes when you’re sad, nobody sees your sorrow.

But when you pass gas just ONE TIME… I don’t have a dirty mind. Just a sense of humour with occasional adult content.

Shoutout to everyone who can remember their home phone number from childhood but can’t remember the password you changed last week. You are our people!

A police officer came to my house and asked me where I was between 5 and 6. He seemed irritated when I answered Kindergarten.
