High-speed Internet planned By Murray Green

Camrose Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson invited Nate Glubish, minister of Service Alberta, to speak to local leaders about rural broadband on August 24. The Government of Alberta set aside $150 million to be used to begin construction on broadband expansion projects. Glubish has been touring the province to receive feedback on rural issues, when it involves Internet disconnections. “Through the pandemic

it highlighted the need for connectivity for everyone in all aspects of our lives. We saw it with our children and challenges to access remote education, with business zoom meetings or council meetings. The pandemic highlighted where our weaknesses were and how important it was to be connected,” said Glubish. Rural communities will be able to have access to better high speed Internet in the future when the province partners with the federal government and telecommunication businesses.

Submitted Service Alberta minister, Nate Glubish, centre was joined by Sharon Anderson, Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce executive director, on the left and Camrose MLA, Jackie Lovely, on the right during his information gathering session in Camrose on August 24.

“As soon as you get out of Edmonton and Calgary there is a serious issue with connectivity. It is not just the outmost rural areas, it is in Camrose as well. Over the past two years I have been working on a province-wide strategy on how we are going to solve this problem,” shared Glubish. About 67 per cent of rural communities in the province do not have access to stable Internet to the level set by the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). “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,” said Glubish, when Premier Jason Kenney made the announcement in Camrose earlier in the summer. “We need consistent service, not when the wind happens to blow just right. We need to know that you can rely on it all day long, every day. This ($150 million) is the first investment in Internet in 15 years.” Continued on page 7

In search of leadership

I’ve been thinking about leadership, lately. Perhaps that’s not surprising in the midst of a federal election that’s been called about two years sooner than necessary. Why? It appears to be because the current head of the federal governing party thought it more like to win a majority now than at some future date. We’re also in the middle of a pandemic in which the number of new cases in our province is increasing. One day last week, I read that our province’s number of active cases was greater than the total number of cases in the rest of Canada. In just two consecutive days, more than 2,600 new cases were reported in Alberta. Finally last Friday, after 24 days of silence, we heard from the current head of the provincial governing party. Finally, he implemented what should have happened weeks ago. If action had been taken earlier, how many surgeries would not have had to be postponed? How many ICU cases and deaths could have been prevented? Yeah, I’m cranky. ***

Maybe I’m unrealistic about what we should be able to expect from people in political leadership positions. If so, that’s because my thoughts about leadership were turned upside down about 25 years ago. The setting: a university class. The speaker: Someone from the Kennedy School of Leadership at Harvard University. The opening statement: “Leadership is not about power; leadership is not about status; leadership is not about money; leadership is not about charisma; though all those things might be useful.” I could feel my brain start to form question marks. “Leadership is about getting the work done.” Pause to let that sink in. “And the work is – helping people meet their developmental challenge.” Whaaat? ***

So, what’s a developmental challenge? A developmental challenge is something you need to master – and everything you know so far doesn’t equip you to master the challenge. Watching a little one master the skill of walking is a great example. So far, the little one has learned to get around by crawling. However, activities that help you crawl – strong forearms, for instance – don’t help you walk. And then there’s balancing on two feet instead of being on all fours. Nothing about crawling helps you learn to balance on two feet. That’s a good example of a developmental challenge – when, in order to get to your next level of development, everything you know so far doesn’t get you there. Learning to walk is a physical example. As adults, our challenges are often social, emotional, mental or spiritual. For example, many of us have known how to be a good parent – right up until we had children! Our children often provide us with opportunities to pull depths from ourselves that we never dreamed we would need – developmental challenges. As a human species, we’ve created a few planetthreatening challenges. New kinds of thinking and new kinds of leadership are needed if our species is to survive on the planet. That’s a human race developmental challenge. Know any leaders who can help us with that? ***

Here are some thoughts from three leaders I admire. “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.” ~Nelson Mandela “A sign of a good leader is not how many followers you have, but how many leaders you create.” ~Mahatma Gandhi “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things. Do not wait for leaders. Do it alone, person to person.” ~Mother Teresa So, what kind of leader do you and I choose to be, in whatever is our current circumstance? What developmental challenge do we need to master, to be that leader? ***

High-speed Internet planned for rural areas Continued from page 2

“This is significant momentum and I’m optimistic that through leadership we are going to increase that amount. I would like to see $400 to 500 million committed,” he added. Minister Glubish said the province will continue to work with the federal government and service providers to give all Albertans access to high-speed Internet. To provide complete service to everyone the cost is estimated at $1 billion. “My goal is to have this ready as soon as possible. I want to have shovels in the ground and start to see results of the dollar investment. We want the rural areas to be involved in the economic recovery. We know connectivity is important to participate in the recovery,” said Glubish. 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. “I was surprised how many families moved to our community from larger centres to come back home to live closer to their parents and they are able to work from home. It is even more important now to have that connectivity because those families are depending that

to do their jobs,” explained Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. 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. “This funding is for all of Alberta, so we want to see improvement in all areas of the province. We want to start with the areas we see the biggest improvement in the fastest time,” said Glubish. “Camrose County, before my time on council, funded a million to a particular company and it hasn’t worked out that well. These companies say they are going to get Internet into those rural areas, but we have trouble getting here (Camrose), so how are they going to get it into those communities. The other question is how affordable is it going to be,” asked County Reeve Cindy Trautman. “I’m concerned about spending money that doesn’t equal value.” Wish lists are often expensive. “Some people can’t afford it (extra Internet costs) and then they fall behind,” added Beaver County councillor Kevin Smook. “It (connectivity) is so important for things such as social services. You need it to receive forms, receiving credit card statements and utility bills. Everybody wants to send things electronically. Their are people

Tanton runs for City of Camrose council Questions posed to the City of Camrose mayor and councillor candidates: • How do you plan on involving residents in the decision-making processes within the City of Camrose? • What are some of the most important issues/challenges regarding the City of Camrose that you feel can be addressed through council? • How would you promote growth within the City of Camrose, particularly bringing industry/employment to the City? • What are the biggest fiscal challenges in the City of Camrose, and what do you envision as the best way to address them? • In your opinion, of what decision has council been a part in the past four years that has had the most impact on the City of Camrose? • What do you cherish most about life in the City of Camrose? By Lori Larsen

Wyatt Tanton will be running for City of Camrose Council in the upcoming October 18 municipal election. Tanton, along with three younger brothers, grew up in Camrose and attended Jack Stuart, St. Patrick Catholic and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant schools. Then at 15, he moved to Vancouver Island for school.

“After graduating I moved to Australia to work as an educational aide, then Montreal to study at McGill,” said Tanton. “In 2019, I moved to North Vancouver to study at Capilano University, but when the pandemic hit I chose to move back to my hometown of Camrose permanently.” As a potential councillor, Tanton believes strongly in meeting people where they’re at – making it as easy as possible for people to get in touch with him, whether that be online or in person. “I also believe the City needs to make council decisions more regularly accessible, and as part of that I want the City to start publicizing more clearly exactly what it’s doing.” With regards to what he feels are the most important issues/

challenges that could be addressed through council he remarked, “Affordability, particularly surrounding housing. When people can’t find housing in their price range, they’re unable to engage in the economy in a way that helps it grow– and that’s assuming they don’t just outright leave.” Tanton also believes that the concern over lowquality, high-cost broadband in Camrose will only become a bigger barrier to economic growth if it is not addressed immediately. He feels it is imperative for council to address the cost of living. “No business wants to locate in a City where residential and commercial rents are high, transit is functionally nonexistent, and our commercial sector is dominated by American mega-corporations up and down the

highway that make competition an unfairly steep hill to climb in a lot of industries.” He remarked that fiscal challenges facing the City of Camrose need to be addressed by being more bold in finding new revenue sources, such as the Camrose Broadband proposal in his platform. “This is even more true now that the province has limited the City’s ability to collect revenues from traditional sources. We also need to focus on minimizing sprawl; building upwards rather than outwards is more affordable for the City in terms of infrastructure and services, and allows for a wider range of industrial, commercial, and residential opportunities.” He commented on the creation and ending of the Camrose Connector. “Con-

necting rural communities affordably and accessibly is a big deal, and I think it was a good step towards supporting the people who need it most. The province deciding to cut funding was a sign of how cities like Camrose are going to be treated in the future if we don’t take control of our own communities’ futures.” On a final note, Tanton said he is excited about Camrose’s potential. “Camrose is built on beautiful land with great location, access, and infrastructure, but I think for too long we’ve taken these things for granted. We need to work hard to make sure that our potential is fully seized so that we can become a strong, attractive, and happy community far into the future.”

September is Newborn Screening Awareness Month By Murray Green

If you are a new or expectant parent, it is important to know about newborn screening and the provincial programs available for Alberta babies. According to Alberta Health Services (AHS), newborn screening is the best way to find out if your baby has a condition that you, your doctor or midwife might not know about. It’s possible to have one of the

screened conditions even if there is no family history. Screening helps your baby have the best start to life possible. The tests are quick and safe, and they can be done shortly after birth. AHS provides these services free of charge through two provincial programs. Alberta’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program:

This program identifies permanent hearing loss as early as possible in a baby’s life. This is one of the most common conditions found in newborns. Finding permanent hearing loss early gives your baby the best opportunity to develop language and learning skills and prevent possible developmental delays. It’s best for your baby to be screened for perma-

nent hearing loss by one month of age. Alberta’s Newborn Metabolic Screening (NMS) Program uses blood spot screening to find certain serious conditions soon after birth that can’t be seen just by looking at your baby. Finding these conditions early ensures that treatment can begin sooner to prevent irreversible problems, improve health

and maybe even save your baby’s life. It’s best for your baby to have newborn blood spot screening between 24 and 72 hours after birth. You’ll be offered to have your baby screened in hospital before discharge or given information on where to get screening done in the community. Learn more at ahs.ca/newbornscreening.

The Camrose Arts Society is pleased to welcome Jason Dufresne to the position of Arts Engagement manager. Dufresne recently returned to Camrose, where he was born and raised, after spending decades teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) in South Korea, Thailand and China. With a life-long passion for the arts, Dufresne began his formal studies at AUArts (then ACAD) in Calgary in the late ’90s, then attained his Masters degree in these disciplines from Concordia University in Montreal, graduating in 2004. “Our goal is to increase membership and cultivate a wider-reaching creative

community throughout Camrose and area,” said Dufresne of the mission for the Camrose Arts Society. “We aim to build an arts community across all kinds of creative practices. “Previously, the Camrose Arts Society has focused on the visual arts, mainly painting, drawing and photography,” noted Dufresne “Moving forward, we aim to develop projects and events that promote the visual arts in collaboration with the broader artistic community of musicians, dancers and writers - basically, anyone with a passion for creativity.” Dufresne said that Camrose Coffee, (located at 4865 50 Street) has generously offered to be the new home space for CAS exhibitions and events. “We’ll be announcing details about our exciting kick-off event soon. We’ll also be reaching out to businesses citywide to see what’s possible for other collaborative art events in the future.” For more information on the Camrose Arts Society visit www.camroseartssociety.ca.

• What do you cherish most about life in Camrose County?

Carl Bergstrom is a Camrose County candidate in Division 1 (Bashaw-Meeting Creek). “I am running for Camrose County Division 1 councillor. I am a long time division resident, 60 years to be exact. As seeking this position, I bring more than 40 years of farming background to see the needs of this agricultural community. I have sat on many boards including the Bashaw Seed Plant. As a resident I also have a vested interest in the concerns and needs of rate payers,” Bergstrom said. “In order to deal with the concerns of residents, willingness and availability to answer questions is a number one priority to me. “I feel important issues include road maintenance, fire protection,

policing and taxes. Social restrictions have created many barriers throughout the pandemic. Social media has eased some of these interactions. We need to invite and encourage business to the area by displaying the community and amenities it has to offer. The goal is to make the county a friendly and economical place to invest and live,” said Bergstrom. Fiscal challenges are a predominant problem everywhere at the present. “Agriculture is the base of this county and has been extremely challenging this year. Mother Nature can be cruel, and due to weather factors, roads and fields are either too wet or dry, requiring more attention, which affects many aspects of a budget. Neither is good. Small and large business have had their challenges due to COVID-19, staffing and economical hardship. “Council has been very busy in the last four years with the new centralized regional fire hall which services Edberg, Ferintosh and New Norway. This will be very instrumental in cost saving by eliminating duplicate equipment within a small area. Shoulder pulls have become a cost effec-

tive alternative to road rebuild. “The new seed plant construction near Camrose is progressing well and when completed will be much more efficient and easily accessible to County residents,” he added. “We can be proud of this County. Roads are good, services above standard and an affordable place to live and work. “I am a hands-on kind of guy and a team player. With council and ratepayers working together lets keep this County strong. I would appreciate your vote for Division 1 County councillor.”

Unidirectional Flushing

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. 2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. 3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water colour. 4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. This year’s UDF program began August 5, 2021, starting with Zone A (in Area 1) and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discolouration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If a discolouration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Charles Klak at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428.

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

Ernie Bertschi is a Camrose County candidate in Division 3 (RosalindKelsey). “Originally I grew up in the City of Camrose and after that, with the exception of about three years living elsewhere, I have lived in, or near by, three of the Camrose county hamlets/villages since around 1997,” said Bertschi. “I’ve always loved living in Camrose County, its one of the most scenic counties, in my mind, around Alberta. Division 3 has been without a councillor for the past year, so I have decided to be a further part of the county by running for council to help ensure good decision making for everyone in my division and for the county as a whole,” he added. As a councillor he believes it is important for residents to have access to freely talk to their councillor about their opinions on the decision making process. “Everyone has an opinion and not everyone sees decision making equal. I would weigh those opinions and make the best choice for the division and County in general.” Some of the issues or challenges that can be addressed in the county would certainly be the aging infrastructure, or no infrastructure, to some of or most of the hamlets that are within, he suggested. “If we want to promote growth in our county you have to start from the ground up. Business parks are a great way to keep use of county farm land to as much minimal impact

as possible. The county is a very attractive place to start or to relocate big or small business with the natural lower tax rates and easy access to major paved roads. If you have thought out locations for business parks with proper utility access for the hamlets included, business will naturally bring in more people to live here and rejuvenate our hamlets once again,” said Bertschi. “Over the past couple years funding has been challenging. Some big funding cuts to the County have occurred, which make budgets hard to keep on track without increasing taxes to residents. What I am interested in is increasing the tax base not tax itself whether that is new industry moving in or increasing residential lots in our communities. We want to make sure the County employees can keep maintaining our county in efficient ways,” he said. “In my view the biggest decisions the County has faced in the past four years are, certainly, recreational agreements with the City of Camrose and also the dissolution of aging hamlets that were returned back to the County’s possession. Way over budgets on recreational buildings and also in the hamlets the aging water/sewer systems has put the County in a real position to overcome the hurdle of getting everything in those communities back up to safe levels of operation. “What I cherish most about life in Camrose County is probably the most scenic county around with the Battle River running through the middle of it. My family uses these recreational spots in or along the valley consistently through the summer and winter. I enjoy everything the county has to offer within and I am fully invested in living within the county and to maintain a safe and environmentally friendly place to live everyday,” said Bertschi.

Questions posed to the Camrose County candidates: • How do you plan on involving residents in the decision-making processes within the County? • What are some of the most important issues/challenges regarding the County that you feel can be addressed through council? • How would you promote growth within the County, particularly bringing industry/employment to the area? • What are the biggest fiscal challenges in the area, and what do you envision as the best way to address them? • In your opinion, of what decision has council been a part in the past four years that has had the most impact on the County? • What do you cherish most about life in Camrose County?

Fifth generation Albertan runs for Maverick Party By Murray Green

Jeff Golka is representing the Maverick Party so Albertans will have a western point of view in Ottawa. “I am a fifth-generation Albertan, married for 34 years to Joyce and have three grown daughters. I have been a real estate agent for 17 years. I have received numerous awards, including a Lifetime Achievement award. Previously, I have been in the farming business and the oilfield reclamation business for about 15 years,” said Golka. The Maverick Party is a western-based party and, if elected, will defend the interests of the west. “In my case, the constituents of Battle River-Crowfoot. Our platform is a conservative platform and we are running 29 candidates throughout Western Canada, approximately 19 in Alberta. Our objective is to be a strong conservative voice for the people, as we have seen the erosion of that with all three of the large federal parties now in Canada and the frustration is showing,” shared Golka. “If our residents elect me, they can count on someone who is not ‘told’ what the party politics is, but about the actual needs of the riding to speak up on

their behalf. Directly and more specifically regarding our agriculture and oil/gas industries around federal red tape, private property (including firearms), our rights and freedoms protected, fairness around taxation (including but not limited to carbon taxing, equalization, regional equity ie: Quebec) and further protection of our health, freedoms and the environment.” Golka said Canada has to step up manufacturing. “Manufacturing growth is a very underutilized opportunity for Canada and especially Alberta in Battle River-Crowfoot. With so many natural resources in our great country, we send these across the border to the USA or overseas to see them be returned as finished products that we pay a markup and transportation, and lose our jobs and opportunities.” He said the debt is bulging and reported the Liberals project to add $1 trillion by 2024 on an already bulging debt of $700 billion for Canada. “With this burden, the economic council of Canada says we could not balance until 2070.” Continued on page 20

Considering how few people per landmass we have compared to many countries can we absorb this kind of debt per person? Unfortunately, in Ottawa, our government parties are trying to offer more government spending of taxpayer money instead of reducing debt and living within our means. It must significantly reduce money for special interest groups, government funding to industries, and foreign aid for Canada to become financially secure and solid standing on the world stage and care for our people.” He feels taxing people doesn’t solve problems. “Regarding the problem with tackling carbon and green house gas emissions, again, the three leading federal parties want to attach that problem to the taxpayer, expecting it to significantly change the environment? This is only hurting our families, seniors and businesses. Instead, we must continue to push the industry and create incentives to develop technology for improving these areas. And not trying to shut down, restrict or over-regulate or choosing winners and losers. The government must work with all industries and encourage innovation. Industry will respond, and we will maintain our jobs and opportunities in our Country, and be a world leader in these new technologies,” said Golka.

The medical industry is a provincial matter and should remain regional based on the needs of the people. The federal government should stay out of delivering pharmacare to the provinces, creating biased and wasteful spending. The federal govern-

ment is a poor method of providing any health services to Canadians other than ensuring funding and for exceptional cases where needed. “Of the nine out of 10 people that want better access to health care, they would be served better regionally, I believe,” he added. “Our top five issues for Albertans are our rights and freedom, carbon taxation and equalization unfairness, child-care, our health and pensions, our justice system around property ownership and firearms.”

Kucy wins Alberta Junior Golf Tour By Murray Green

Jayla Kucy of Camrose fired a 74 to capture the McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour at Wolf Creek Golf Resort on August 31. The annual McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour presented by Crowe MacKay. The season-ending tour championship featured 125 of Alberta’s best juniors from across the province.

Jayla needed four birdies to edge Brynne Davies who shot a 75. Paired together in one of the feature groups they went about their business on the course. Jayla became the first four-time winner of the tour championship, as she completed her four-in-arow streak of championships on the final day.

Albertans vote on issues By Murray Green

Voter eligible Albertans will have an opportunity to have their say on equalization, daylight saving time and elect nominees to the Senate when they vote in the fall municipal elections. In addition to voting for Senate nominees, Albertans will be asked to vote on two provincial topics on Oct. 18, in conjunction with the municipal elections. The first question on equalization payments will be similar to this: Should the principle of making equalization payments be removed from the Constitution? The second question will be similar to this: Should Alberta end the practice of changing our clocks twice a year? “Alberta has a long and proud tradition of grassroots, direct democracy. We will renew that tradition this fall. I encourage all Albertans to get engaged on these important issues and I look forward to taking part in the debate this fall,” said Premier Jason Kenney. Over the last 25 years, Albertans have contributed more than $400 billion to the nation in tax dollars than they have received in federal spending. Albertans make an immense contribution to equalization through federal tax contributions, which are transferred by the federal government to other prov-

inces for programs and services. Across Canada and the United States, more governments are bringing forward legislation to move to permanent daylight saving time, also known as summer hours. In 2019, Service Alberta asked Albertans if they thought we should make a similar shift. More than 141,000 Albertans responded, of which 91 per cent were in favour of yearround summer hours. “As Alberta first adopted daylight saving time following a referendum in 1971, we owe it to Albertans to give them the same opportunity to make their voices heard now that we are considering another change,” said Nate Glubish, minister of Service Alberta. Albertans will elect three Senate nominees– one for each of the two current vacancies and one in case of early retirement. The Senate nominee election enhances democracy in the province by allowing Albertans to choose the individuals who will best represent them in Parliament. Having representatives elected by Albertans would increase senators’ accountability to Alberta voters to defend the province’s interests.

Lindstrand runs for mayor By Lori Larsen

Incumbent Max Lindstrand is running for the position of mayor in the upcoming City of Camrose municipal election on October 18. Lindstrand was born in Camrose, moved away for some time and then returned, and with wife Alice has now called Camrose home for the past 40 years. He enjoyed a teaching career that spanned over 36 years, with 21 years as principal of Camrose Composite High School. Beyond his work life Lindstrand also has an extensive background of leadership experience having served and continuing to serve on several boards and committees including: chair of Bethany of Camrose board; Music Festival Committee; president of Messiah Lutheran Church; Central Alberta High School Principals’ Association; Central Alberta Junior High School Principals’ Association; Minister of Education Task Force–“Use of Computers in Schools”; Alberta Teachers’ Association Professional Relations Panel and the Battle River Regional Economic Policy Committee. He enjoys staying active with a variety of sports and sang in the tenor section of the Camrose Community Choir. “I am now completing a fourth term on City council,” said Lindstrand. “I have served on most committees and have a thorough understanding of how the city functions.” Lindstrand’s wife, Alice, is a retired long-time teacher. Their son, Jon, and daughter, Jen, are both teachers in the Battle River School Division and their daughter-in-law, LauraJoy, is a registered nurse for Home Care. His grandson, Sevrin, is in Grade 9

French Immersion. “We are all delighted to call Camrose home.” “It is important to take the pulse of the community,” said Lindstrand. “Council is accessible through the Public Commentary item of every regular council agenda and increasingly, social media is becoming a crucial way to communicate. We must also remember that direct, face-to-face communication through open houses, forums, etc. is very important.” On his website, www. lindstrandformayor.com, Lindstrand identifies 10 priorities which include: job creation and retention; support for small businesses; maintain excellent roads, drinking water, parks, and sewage systems; retain high service levels while controlling taxes; needs of lower income residents; services for youth and seniors; and advocate for the Augustana Campus of the U of A. “We need to continue to promote Camrose as a friendly place to do business and make sure that such things as broadband service levels are not limiting. It is also important to collaborate with Camrose County and other regional partners in our efforts to attract industry.” In speaking of the impact decisions from council has had Lindstrand said, “We have been able to reduce our long term debt from $30 million to about $14 million. It is very important to have a sound, long term capital plan, including setting money aside in reserves to fund future projects.” Lindstrand also commented on the renovations to the swimming pool, restructuring of the 48 Avenue bridge (with underpass) and the generally improved roads and sidewalks. In conclusion he said, “Without a doubt, the friendly people make Camrose an outstanding place to live. We are also blessed with natural beauty, which has enabled a wonderful trail system. We are basically self-sufficient in regard to shopping, attending the theatre, watching sporting events, and participating in a wide variety of activities.

Questions posed to the City of Camrose mayor and councillor candidates: • How do you plan on involving residents in the decision-making processes within the City of Camrose? • What are some of the most important issues/challenges regarding the City of Camrose that you feel can be addressed through council? • How would you promote growth within the City of Camrose, particularly bringing industry/employment to the City? • What are the biggest fiscal challenges in the City of Camrose, and what do you envision as the best way to address them? • In your opinion, of what decision has council been a part in the past four years that has had the most impact on the City of Camrose? • What do you cherish most about life in the City of Camrose?

An apology…

In an ad from the Battle River School Division printed in our August 31 issue, we printed details related to COVID restrictions which were out of date. The correct item appears below:

Wondering about COVID restrictions? BRSD wants students to be able to return to many of the school activities they have missed. In order to offer sports teams, option classes such as Band/Music or Drama, have assemblies and more, students and staff will be required to wear masks on the school bus, as they enter the school and as they move through the hallways or common areas. Masks can be removed once students are settled into classrooms. Every student and staff member is expected to stay home if they are sick. BRSD will also be participating in the Alberta Health vaccine program, which will bring vaccine clinics to schools, for students age 12+ who have permission from their parents to be immunized against COVID-19. BRSD will review these practices throughout the school year. Some measures could be removed or additional measures could be implemented depending on realities. Check our website at brsd.ab.ca for more details on the back-to-school plan.

Stasko runs for City mayor By Lori Larsen

Incumbent PJ Stasko is running for the position of mayor in the upcoming municipal election to be held on October 18. Stasko will be completing his second term (eight years) in office as a City of Camrose councillor and is excited to throw his hat in the ring for the position of mayor. Stasko was raised in Camrose from an early age, and in 1995 moved to Edmonton to pursue post secondary education in Business Administration Marketing after which he worked in radio and television. In 2006, he returned to live in Camrose, where he and his wife are raising their two daughters. He is currently the co-owner of a Camrose local business. “I think the City has made some great strides in utilizing social media as well as our webpage and questionnaires,” said Stasko with regards to keeping residents engaged. “It is imperative to get the input from the citizens of Camrose. One of the nice things

about municipal government is somebody can come down and chat with council or the mayor.” Stasko said that, moving forward, one of the main focuses of council will be recovery. “Recovery for residents of Camrose, but also the businesses who have been severely impacted and even the City itself.” He continued with mention of how Camrose needs to use its strengths to follow through on attracting industry in new technologies. “Traditional industry isn’t around as much any more and we (Camrose) need to follow some of the new technologies, whether that is carbon fibre manufacturing or after product agriculture. Also, because Camrose is a bit of a medical hub, attraction can be done in front of that industry. “Camrose is in an enviable position as far as municipalities are concerned,” noted Stasko adding that the City has been able to maintain reasonable debt limits even through several major projects completed over the years. “Going forward, we have the biggest capital project that has been done so far in Camrose, the Waste Water Treatment Plant; and also on the horizon the Public Works Building project. All of these things add up and constrain some of the wishes. “I think the long time stewardship that council needs to have in mind is to

leave future councils in the situation (fiscally responsible) that this one has, while limiting the impact on residential and business taxes. “These last four years there has been a real focus on fiscal prudence, and in order to do that we have had to make some tough decisions bearing in mind the level of service expected by residents while keeping the tax impact at a minimum.” He remarked that it is a delicate balance. “There are certain things you would like to cut right away but may not realize the ramifications of doing that so you have administration to walk you through the outcomes.” He added that whatever happens in this election he feels comfort in knowing that the incoming council will have the knowledge and expertise of administration to support them. On a final note Stasko was proud to say, “Camrose is a very special place, it has all the amenities with a small town feel. There is a sense of community here. People care about each other and support each other. You walk down the street and people say hi to you and smile,” something he said is not felt in other places he has been around the world.

Wilkie rebuilds 1954 Ford truck in style By Murray Green

Elmer Wilkie of the Ferintosh area owns a 1954 Ford F100 truck that he re-built himself. “I found the bits and pieces for the truck from all over the place. The cab is from Saskatchewan. This truck was in my airplane hangar for 15 years before I started to restore it. I decided to finish a 1934 Ford and 1952 Studebaker truck before this one. This is my third project,” explained Elmer. “This truck features a 351 Cleveland engine under the hood and an automatic transmission. In 1954, you had the choice of a flathead V8 (223 or 239) or Y-block V8 (279 or 317) engine. Most people preferred the Y block, because the flathead only had about 100 (100 to 115) horsepower. This engine has more than 300 horsepower, so average, not like my Studebaker which is more than 500. I used the original rear end. It has a 1956 grille in it because I liked that style better,” revealed Elmer. The second generation of the Ford F-Series is a series of trucks that was produced by Ford from the 1953 to 1956 model years. “I chromed the bumpers and the paint is a brand new Ford colour. It is actually similar to the 1934 colour I have as well. I changed the hood so it opens the other direction. Ford had terrible hinges in the back of the hood,

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Elmer Wilkie took the knowledge he has gained during his first two truck builds with him to complete his third truck. This 1954 Ford has the original styling with a few modern touches added to it.

so when you put the hood down, you had to go to each corner and push down the hood to get it into place. It is so much nicer to work on now. You don’t have to crawl in and bang your head.” In line with the previous generation, the F-Series encompassed a wide range

FUN FACTS

The 1954 F-100 was the last year for the flathead engine in the United States. Models in Canada, however, (Mercury M-Series), retained the flathead. In 1954-55, it was the introduction of the new 239 CID overhead valve Y-block V8, dubbed Power King. The six-cylinder engine’s displacement was also increased from 215 to 223 CID and power steering was introduced as an option. In the succeeding years the 239 Y-block was replaced with the 256, 272 and 312. In 1954, the Y-block displaced 239 was the same displacement as the old Ford Flathead V8, but with a bigger bore and a shorter stroke. The 1956 F-100 is a one-year only body style. The 1956 F-100 is easily identified as it has vertical windshield pillars and a wrap-around windshield as opposed to the sloped pillars and angled windshield of the 1953-55. The 1956 model also offered a larger wrap-around back window as an option. The cabs, doors, radiator support, inner fenders and hoods are the same from 1953 to 1956 F-100 and F-250 trucks.

of vehicles, ranging from light duty pickup trucks to heavy duty commercial vehicles. “I added some new custom wheels and rims. I put in a Mustang front end to lower it down for a better ride. It has rack and pin steering, and disc brakes for some modern conveniences,” he shared. “I really like the way it handles and drives. It gets decent fuel mileage,” he chuckled. “I put a wood floor in the truck box. There is a lot of work put into these old trucks. The fender was fixed with real steel and I put steel bolts in as well. I have the original taillights, headlights and stuff like that. I upgraded some parts. It took me a couple of years, but it is easier with Ford because you can get parts. That part is easier.” To further emphasize the model update, Ford changed the F-Series model nomenclature from a single number to three numbers; subsequently, this system

has remained in use on all Ford F-Series trucks to the present day. Alongside the naming change, this generation marked several firsts for the F-Series, including

an adjustable seat (wide enough for three people, power brakes and the introduction of the Ford-OMatic automatic transmission as an option.

Caution in school zones By Lori Larsen

Motorists are reminded that school zones are once again in effect as students return to the classrooms this week, and to abide all traffic laws and use extra caution. “Our children are heading back to school this week and may have forgotten some of the basic road safety rules,” remarked Camrose Police Service Traffic Enforcement officer Constable Sarah Day. “Sadly, in Alberta, traffic injuries are the leading cause of death and a leading cause of injury, some of which result in hospitalization, for children younger than 14.” Day reminds motorists that the speed limit within all school zones is 30 km/h unless otherwise posted and is in effect on school days from 8 to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m. unless other times are posted. “The speed limit in a playground zone is 30 km/h unless otherwise posted and is in effect from 8:30 a.m. to one hour after sunset,” explained Day, adding that a vehicle is not permitted to pass another vehicle travelling in the same direction in either school or playground zones during the times that these zones are in effect. “Driving carefully and responsibly is the first line of defence in protecting children,” said Day. The following tips for motorists on safely navigating school zones are pre-

sented by Alberta Transportation. • Scan farther down the road and obey posted speed limits. Always be prepared to slow down or stop. • Avoid loud music and other distractions when driving. • Use caution when approaching intersections or mid-block crosswalks. Parked or stopped vehicles may hide a pedestrian who is crossing the road. The fine for failing to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk or passing a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk to permit a pedestrian to cross is $810 and four demerit points. • Watch for the school safety patrol in their orange vests and stop as directed. Patrollers play a vital role in directing children safely across the street. • Be very cautious in parking lots or when backing out of a parking stall or driveway. • Watch for children between parked vehicles and on the sidewalk. They may dash out into the street after a friend or a toy. “It is vital that we all do our part to ensure children remain safe by being very alert and using extra caution when driving through playground and school zones and near residential areas where children frequent,” said Day.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service reminds motorists to abide all traffic laws and use extreme caution in school zones.

Morishita, Alberta Party leader By Murray Green

Barry Morishita, Mayor of Brooks and former president of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA), was named the leader of the Alberta Party. Morishita has been advocating for Albertans for years, as a councillor, mayor and as the president of AUMA. “As a compassionate leader and experienced community builder, I believe that a new, fresh approach to politics is what Albertans need right now and that the Alberta Party is the vehicle to drive that positive change,” said Morishita. “Over the past four years, I have travelled across our province and have heard from countless Albertans who are looking for a new approach to

High school Trojans ready for another football season More of the same

When Prime Minister Trudeau called the federal election on August 15th, most Canadians were not surprised. The recent spending on child-care agreements with provinces and ramped up political rhetoric in the previous months were clear indicators that an election was looming. The Liberals were doing well in the polls, which suggested that people were happy with the government’s Shauna Wilton, Political performance and response Studies, Augustana to COVID. However, many Campus, University Canadians were disappointof Alberta ed with the election call and the opposing political parties made their discontent known. The NDP even encouraged the Governor General to refuse the Prime Minister’s request to dissolve parliament, while the Conservatives speculated about the self-interested motives behind the election call. Minority governments often call elections around the two-year mark. The desire to transform a minority government into a majority is irresistible to many. A majority government brings with it the power to push through legislation and policies without the debate and compromise that minorities require. Majority governments in Canada are incredibly powerful and face little opposition. They may not be good for democracy, but they are good for the political party that wins. Summer elections can be difficult as people are less focused on political issues and September is a busy month for many with the return to school. Add in a pandemic, now fully in the fourth wave, and these make for less-than-ideal conditions for campaigning. Elections Canada is working on plans to make voting during COVID-19 safer, including hand sanitizing, masking and single-use pencils at polling stations, as well as options for mail in voting. Trudeau argued that an election was necessary for Canadians to provide a post-COVID mandate for the government. When his party was elected in 2019, COVID did not exist. In the past two years, Canadians have witnessed unprecedented (a favourite pandemic word) changes including mandatory isolation and work from home orders. Governments around the world were called upon to support people who could no longer work and businesses that were shut down. Government intervention was needed to support the health care system and the need to rapidly vaccinate everyone. All levels of government in Canada (and around the world) spent tremendous amounts of money, rightfully, to protect individuals, society, and the economy from this virus. However, 18 months into the pandemic, opponents are becoming increasingly vocal about masking, restrictions, and government spending. Protestors are disrupting Trudeau’s campaign with their anti-vaccine, anti-mask, and anti-Trudeau vitriol. Conspiracy theories and rhetoric that Canadians are more used to seeing in the United States are appearing in our political platforms, even without a leader, such as Trump, to encourage them. The majority government that Trudeau wished for when the election was called seems to be fading away as polls suggest the Conservative Party’s numbers are rising at the expense of the Liberals. The Conservatives currently have more of the popular vote, but the Liberals are still expected to win more seats. Overall, the polling results for the NDP, Greens, Conservatives and Liberals are not that different than they were two years ago. So, will this election change anything beyond a few faces in the House of Commons? Politicians and the public are raising important issues–from pandemic spending to climate change to Indigenous issues and decolonization–but campaign promises do not always translate into actions after election day. Over the next couple of weeks, the potential for scandal and the leaders debates may sway more voters, but right now it looks like more of the same for the next few years. If you are interested in hearing more about the election and the issues, join Augustana’s political scientists, Clark Banack, Sandra Rein and Shauna Wilton, for a Lunch and Learn session on “Unmasking the Federal Election” at noon on September 16.

CORRECTION NOTICE Please note that the following obituary appeared with the incorrect attending Funeral Home listed in the August 31 Camrose Booster. See below as it should have appeared originally. The Camrose Booster apologizes to the Johnson family, and to Burgar Funeral Home for this inadvertent error. December 10, 1923 ~ August 21, 2021 Sandy Johnson, beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather, uncle, pastor and friend to so many, passed peacefully into the presence of his precious Redeemer on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at the age of 97 years. Sandy was born in New Norway in a two storey log house on the farm of his parents Martin and Marie Johnson on December 10, 1923. He grew up working on the farm and lived there until he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943 as an air engine mechanic. While stationed in Bournemouth, England he met Lillian Pettis and 66 days later he took her as his wife in a marriage that was happy and blessed for the next 62 years! After the war Sandy returned with Lil to farm in New Norway for the next eight years where their sons Daniel and Wayne were born. In 1953 they left farming and Sandy began his full time ministry career of pastoring in Sylvan Lake, and it was there that Lyle was born into the family. Over the next 30 years Sandy served as pastor with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada in Stettler, Wainwright, Oliver BC, Vanderhoof, BC, and then once again in Sylvan Lake, where they retired in 1982. Sandy and Lil chose to live out their retirement years in Camrose, never fully retiring as they served six other congregations over the next few years as interim pastors. Sandy was well known for his gift of teaching, sense of humour, home-spun poetry, encouragement and good nature. In his later years in Camrose he became well known for his daily walks with his walker, chatting with and encouraging people along the way. Sandy is survived by his sons Daniel (Mary), Wayne (Karen), Lyle (Addi); eight grandchildren Derek (Jodie), Tricia, Vonda (Greg), Dennis (Angie), Benjamin (Sandy), Andrew (Kristin), Mark (Madiha), Joshua (Kristen); as well as 23 great-grandchildren and 7 great-great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Lillian in 2007. He will always be remembered gratefully by his family for his faith, prayers and example of the Lord’s loving kindness and faithfulness! If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Sandy’s memory may be made to the HOPE Mission Edmonton. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

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.

Know about ovarian cancer By Murray Green

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is the tenth most common cancer among women and people with ovaries in Alberta. It is important to be able to recognize the symptoms and to learn about lowering your risk, according to Alberta Health Services (AHS). Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common type of ovarian cancer and occurs most often in postmenopausal women and people with ovaries. This kind of cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow inside or near ovaries, the two small glands located on either side of the uterus. The role of ovaries is to store and release eggs (ova), and to produce female sex hormones. Symptoms of ovarian cancer can include recent frequent bloating, pain in the belly or pelvis, feeling full quickly or having trouble eating, the need to urinate more often than usual or an urgent need to urinate. If any of these symptoms are new and occur for two to three days, consider booking an appointment with your family healthcare provider. Factors that can increase your risk: • Inheriting gene changes such as a BRCA gene change. • Family history of ovarian cancer. Having more than one relative with ovarian cancer further increases your risk. • Having never given birth or being unable to get pregnant. • Having started menstrual cycles before age 12 and experiencing menopause past age 50. About 21 per cent of ovarian cancer cases in Alberta are preventable. To reduce your risk, be active, avoid or stop smoking, eat a healthy and balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight. Screening tests are used to detect health issues before symptoms appear. If a doctor suspects ovarian cancer, they will likely refer a patient for diagnostic testing. They may recommend a test called CA-125, which measures the amount of cancer antigen 125 present in the blood. Too much cancer antigen 125 in the blood can be a sign of ovarian cancer. Visit myhealth.alberta. ca to learn more about ovarian cancer.

BRCF awards grants to historical society Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded $6,000 in grants to the Canadian Northern (Meeting Creek) Historical Society to assist in the cost of replacing the passenger platform at the Camrose Railway Museum site.

Camrose Railway Station and Museum. The second is from the Stolee Family Fund, which is set up to allow the family to recommend projects and programs that might be supported by the Foundation Board. This grant is available for spending at the discretion of the Cana-

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 are kept intact and the income

I recently took a pole and found out that 100% of the people in the tent were angry when it collapsed. You can’t run through a campground. You can only ran, because it’s past tents. I just finished building a car using a motor from a washing machine. I’ll take it for a spin later. It’s been six months since I joined the gym and no progress at all. I’m going there in person tomorrow to see what’s really going on. If your eyes hurt after you drink coffee, remember you have to take the spoon out of the cup. Nothing messes up your Friday like finding out it’s only Thursday. Posted a photo of my clean house online and it was flagged and removed as “fake news.” A car’s weakest part is the nut holding the steering wheel. Re-electing certain politicians is like the Titanic backing up to hit the iceberg again.

Submitted Ben Paulson, Battle River Community Foundation director presents the cheques to Glenys Smith, chairperson and director, Jeremiah Overland, maintenance supervisor, Yvonne Smits, garden assistant, Erhard Pinno, volunteer and Liam Smith, student.

One grant is from income from the Ernie Sr. and Letha Bertschi Fund, which supports programs and projects that serve to preserve the history of the Camrose area, the and from the Foundation’s Community Funds. It is to assist in the cost of rebuilding the platform at the

dian Northern (Meeting Creek) Historical Society board. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

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.

This half duplex located in the west end is close to shopping and services, golf and playgrounds and a man-made lake where you can take wonderful evening strolls. Stylish grey-toned laminate flooring flows through the open space living dining and kitchen area. Subtle greige paint colours and sleek white trim make decorating options so easy and trendy. The spacious living room is flooded with natural light which carries on through to the dining area. The kitchen features beautiful granite counter tops, fashionable white subway tile backsplash, stunning light wood cabinets and shiny new appliances. A corner walk-in pantry will provide plenty of storage.

The master suite has its own private en suite and walkin closet. Two more bedrooms on the main floor open up a slew of options including younger children's rooms, home office or hobby room. There is also a main four-piece bathroom to expedite everyone getting ready in the morning. The lower level is completely finished in the same high quality as the main floor and has a good-sized family room, another bedroom, four-piece bathroom and storage space. A back deck looks out over your own private backyard with back lane access.

Who is Pete and why do we keep doing things for his sake? I got my wife to help me put some posts in the ground for our new fence. I gave her the hammer and I said, “when I nod my head you hit it.” I don’t remember much after that. Finally old enough to do anything I want. Too tired to actually do it. I hate it when you can’t figure out how to operate the iPad and the resident tech expert is asleep. Because he’s five, and it’s past his bedtime. How do you help your female sibling? A-sist-er. Wife texts husband on a cold winter morning: “Windows frozen, won’t open.” Husband texts back: “Gently pour some lukewarm water over it and then gently tap edges with hammer.” Wife texts back ten minutes later: “Computer really messed up now.” So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy a pound of sliced ham wrapped in a plastic container, with a plastic lid, a Greek salad in a plastic tub, mustard and ketchup both in plastic, and get to the till. Then they tell me plastic bags are no longer available because they are concerned for the environment, and I have to pay for paper bags. I keep hearing that love is more important than money. Can we tell the City of Camrose this? I’m hoping to pay for my water bill with hugs. Is it just me or does the entire civilized world seem like it just turned into a Jerry Springer show? Always keep a bottle of wine close by for special occasions. You know, like Wednesday. Guys, when a woman is mad, just smile and tell her that she is overreacting. She’ll realize you’re right and calm right down. Never buy flowers from a monk. Only you can prevent florist friars. The CEO of IKEA was elected president of Sweden. I hear he’s still assembling his cabinet. Me: I want to take a long vacation. My bank account: I highly suggest it be a trip to work. Imagine marrying a dentist and having to pretend like you floss every day for the rest of your life. Some things are better left unsaid. Which I generally realize right after I said them. My neighbour just banged on the wall at 4:20 a.m. Luckily, I was still up playing music. He shouted “Can we have a little respect please?” So I shouted back “I’m not an Aretha Franklin fan, but okay, this one’s for you!”

Al-Karim (Al) Mohamed

They say to do what you love and money will follow. So I ate cheesecake and drank some wine. Now, I wait.
