International curling returns By Murray Green
The Rose City Curling Club is hosting its seventh major curling event on the Encana Arena ice this winter. The Meridian Open international curling event will be held from January 11 to 16, 2022. “This Meridian Open will be hosting 32 of the topranked curling teams in the world. The top 16 women’s and the top 16 men’s curling teams will be invited to participate in this curling event. This creates an additional level of interest for this event because it will be just three weeks before curling commences at the 2022 Winter Olympics,” said Neil Bratrud, local chair of the event. “These teams will be pretty competitive as they prepare for the Olympic Games,” added Ken Duggan, special events coordinator for RCCC. “We anticipate that those teams that are qualified to play in the Olympics in Beijing, China and are ranked in the top 16 by their gender in the world will be present at this event as a final tune up to prepare for those Olympics,” continued Ken. “This time, they are changing the number of rinks from five to four sheets. That gives us 22 curling draws in total, four a day until playdowns. The finals in both women’s and men’s will be on the final Sunday,” explained Ken.
The format will be a triple knockout event. Teams will know when they will be playing their first game. After that, it will depend if they win or lose to determine the next draw. With the majority of women’s top teams outside of Canada, the organizers are worried about COVID-19. “We are a little worried about that, but we will have all protocols and restrictions in place. We follow the City of Camrose protocols and Sportsnet restrictions, which include being fully vaccinated. They won’t be accepting 72-hour testing,” said Ken.
Neil Bratrud
“The complement of curling teams, the event management team and the television production team will require approximately 130 hotel rooms in Camrose, let alone the spectators and other media that will come to Camrose for this event,” Neil added, in a letter to the County. “The facility, tremendous volunteer base and the sense

Volunteers
“We have local people in place to help us make this event run smooth. Most of the volunteers have been involved in past events, so the experience level is very high,” said Neil. “We have great volunteers and everyone has been adapting on the fly. We realize some things may not happen that we have planned, and it is a challenge to be prepared for everything. We have to be nimble and accommodating and so far, so good,” he added. “We are going to make it work one way or another.” A social house will be set up in the old Augustana gym location. The club is looking for about 20 more volunteers. Most of those positions are bartending and rink ice-making assistants. Call the office at 587-386-0200 for more details on how you can help volunteer, purchase tickets or help sponsor the event. Ticket packages are available for the complete 22-draw package. Day and single-draw tickets will be available in early December. Attendance was about 1,100 per draw at the last major event.

Aquatic Centre welcomes new junior lifeguards to staff By Lori Larsen
Additional staff at the Mayer Aquatic Centre mean the City hopes to soon be able to open up the pool for more swim times. The City has recently hired more junior lifeguards, which will account for extra guards on deck doing site specific training and shadowing as part of their hiring and training process The City bases guarding ratios on recommendations from the governing body, the Lifesaving Society, which is part of an international organization that studies drownings and water safety. According to Mayer Aquatic Centre staff, many changes have happened in the industry over the last few years, partly due to the complete shift in design and the layouts of new aquatic centres. Guard-to-patron ratios are now dictated by the physical size of the area, along with the number of people in the pool. In relation to the Mayer Aquatic Centre, if all the pool basins are open,
even if there are only a handful of people in each pool, a minimum of two guards will be required on the 25-metre pool and two on the leisure pool. If the water slide is open, two slide attendants will be required, one at the top and one at the bottom, as per manufacturer’s guidelines. Two lifeguards off deck will also be required during a public swim, one for facilitating swim tests and one to clean and be available for customer service and first aid. These guards also rotate with the guards on deck to ensure that everyone gets a break from the pool deck. Because pool staff are unable to predict the number of patrons who will be in the pool at any given time, scheduling is based on assumption of use. For more information or if you have any inquiries, you can speak with an Aquatic Centre senior team member of management while at the facility, or telephone 780-672-9909.
The Bethany Group’s Governing Board welcomes new CEO The Bethany Group’s Governing Board d is pleased to his appointment appoint Carla Beck as their new CEO. This nimous decision was effective October 1, 2021 after a unanimous of the Governing Board. “As the Board Chair, I am very excited to be able to orward and continue working with Carla in moving forward shaping the organization as we work ourr way through this pandemic,” said Jack Ramsden. “Wee appreciate n to Bethany’s Carla’s outstanding effort and dedication e confident in clients, residents, staff and Board and are he future.” her ability to lead our organization into the rience Carla brings with her a wealth of experience ince and knowledge in health and housing. Since 1993, she has worked with The Bethany Group in a variety of roles. With a degree in Recreation Administration, Carla built upon that foundation as leader for the Clinical Support Team. In 2014, she took on a new role and portfolio as Manager Carla Beck, CEO, The Bethany Group of Planning and Corporate Strategies. In 2017, she stepped into the role of Director of Housing & Community Services, once again exploring new roles and responsibilities. Here, she implemented a tenant engagement plan and coordinated a realignment of the program consistent with the Government of Alberta’s vision. She returned to Health Services as Director in 2018, where she was pivotal in the development of the Risk Management and Quality Improvement initiatives. On February 1, 2021, Carla accepted the challenge of becoming our Interim CEO. Carla’s hands-on knowledge of how to create a caring community made her the natural selection to lead The Bethany Group through two cycles of Accreditation, the most recent in 2019, earning the organization Accreditation with Commendation. Carla was also the proud recipient of the Chamber of Commerce 2021 Woman in Business Award. As a “local girl”, Carla grew up on a farm near Camrose, Alberta. She and her husband, Rob, raised their two boys in the community and remain rooted in Camrose. She has maintained strong connections to the community and developed bonds with new communities in which the organization operates through her natural caring spirit. It is not unusual for there to be a lineup of residents and staff outside her office – either looking for guidance or a kind ear. The Board of Governors is a volunteer board that works with the CEO to guide The Bethany Group’s vision and operations. The CEO takes on responsibility for the operations and staffing, while reporting to the Board. In addition to The Bethany Group’s Board, the organization is CAO for several Housing Management Bodies to which it reports, including Camrose & Area Lodge Authority, Flagstaff Regional Housing Group, Lacombe Foundation, Parkland Foundation, and Wetaskiwin & Area Lodge Authority.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Residents around the City are getting ready for the spookiest night of the year. All Hallows’ Eve, aka Halloween, brings out the scare and “if you dare” in people. This amazing display of frightening fiends, located on the corner of 65 Street and 43 Avenue, is well worth a look.

The morning after
Across the province, newly elected representatives have been chosen as mayors, municipal councillors and school board trustees. It’s interesting to see fresh new faces and the faces of re-elected local politicians. I’m curious about what they will experience over their four-year term. I’m also curious about what we, the public, will experience of them during their four-year term. ***
I’m having flashbacks to my brief foray into local politics. Decades ago, I twice ran for school board. The first time, I lost. That was disappointing, but not devastating. I got over it in a few days. The second time, I won. Election night was fun, celebrating with people who helped me campaign. That was the last time I had fun with the role. What I learned made me decide I would never again run for public office (not that anyone would ask me to!). It also made me more compassionate of those who do run. Here are three things I learned that make me more compassionate of elected representatives. 1. People think they own you. Because local elected representatives are close at hand, I suspect they have way more contact with voters than provincially or federally elected representatives. I grew up in a home where both my parents (at different times) were elected to City Council in Camrose. I learned that municipal politicians are subject to phone calls day and night, weekdays and weekends. They can expect to hear from cranky people while they’re shopping for groceries–or even during hospital visits! As well, in small municipalities, elected people don’t have the same kind of administrative help that’s available to provincially or federally elected people. Their whole lives can be dominated by their elected role. 2. It can be way more work than is obvious from the outside. Even for one small school board, the stack of paper I received before every meeting was daunting. I reserved the evening before each meeting to review the material. I once talked to a provincial MLA, who talked about the stack of documents he received at the end of every day–to be reviewed before meetings at 7:30 a.m. the next morning. Elected people are supposed to review an enormous amount of information about a huge range of topics. It would be a surprise if they are well-informed about every issue about which they are supposed to make decisions. And that’s just the behind-the-scenes work. That doesn’t take into account the number of public and private events where they’re expected to make some sort of useful contribution. 3. There’s a fundamental flaw in the system. From my school board experience and other observations, I’ve come to ponder what could be a flaw in our system of choosing those who govern us. The things you have to be good at to get the job are not the same things that you ought to be good at in order to do the job. To get the job, you have to be popular enough for the greatest number of voters to vote for you. To do the job, you have to be capable of making decisions based on the best available information for the benefit of the greatest number of people, while taking into account subpopulations with special requirements. That’s two very different skill sets. Sometimes–maybe even often–the best decision is also the least popular decision. ***
So–kudos to all who put themselves out there and run for office. Kudos for all those who serve as elected representatives. They take the flak and listen to wildly diverse opinions, while trying to do ordinary errands, and do the best they can to make good decisions. And–very best wishes to all those who are going to be governing at the local level for the next four years. ***

Is it about health or is it about control? In a 40-minute rant, an Alberta judge Justice Adam Germain ordered that for the next 18 months, whenever a certain Calgary pastor talks about lockdowns, the pandemic or vaccines–in tweets, in speeches, in media interviews–he must immediately repudiate himself, and give the “official” government view condemning himself. He must argue against himself and condemn himself or go back to jail. It is called “compelled speech”, something used in Communist China. You must say what the government tells you to say. The whole point of it: this judge wants the pastor to submit, to acknowledge the government as his master. And if he can’t convince the pastor of that voluntarily, he’ll force him to say it. The judge repeatedly criticized the pastor for talking about civil liberties to the media. He specifically mentioned the pastor’s appearance on Fox News and for going on a speaking tour, warning other churches around North America about the threat to civil liberties. So to stop that, the judge also banned the pastor from leaving the province of Alberta for 18 months. It’s simply a powermad judge’s revenge on the pastor–a blatant attempt to stop him from speaking freely. Justice Germain has brought back that illegal law which was struck down in 1938. The law was called the Alberta Press Act, which forced newspapers to print the government’s rebuttal to their own editorials. Is “The Judge” coming for us next? George Shostak, New Norway Bad opinion
A bad opinion is not the only opinion that I want to read in The Booster letters, as is often the case; many people love the truth and do not call truth “misinformation”. The JCCF.ca, a group of civil rights lawyers, say the experimental (emergency mandated) vaccine is illegal; furthermore, it is being imposed on us by nonelected health bureaucrats who take their orders from WHO or China. I think it would be helpful to point out the political bias of socialism/communism (a form of atheism or a falsepositive COVID-19) that has infiltrated the free enterprise of capitalism in North America; I found it described in
a ‘letter to the editor’ in the summer edition of The Taxpayer magazine. To briefly paraphrase Gene Balfour of Ontario, he wrote: “crony-privilege [is] at the expense of everyone else” and extends not to capitalism but “crony-capitalism”, where big government and big business extract advantage through collaboration, leading to “crony-socialism”, where special interest groups like ‘climate change’ as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are funded by big government; then comes “crony-statism” which has been going on for decades and confers government workers with higher pensions and privileges than what is common to the private sector employee, which amounts to the “crony-privilege”. My conclusion of Gene’s letter: today, because twothirds of government employees protest or disagree with their union/government plans of mandating the experimental 666-Jab vaccine passport, they, along with the other one-third, need to be taught the principles of freedom, not socialism or cronyism; socialism in health care becomes unhealthy for everyone when, through NGOs, we can be vaccine experimented on using our own money. Therefore, only the unaware do not see that the majority of health care should be privatized in order for the NGO drug abuse between big-pharma and biggovernment to end. In conclusion, let everyone’s opinion be put out there–only “thugs” suppress others from speaking, and in truth’s humble opinion, “thugs” are the bad guys. Tina Kawalilak, Camrose County Biological weapons
I’m writing in response to the claims made in the recent letter by Mr. Vanderwoude. It’s unfortunate that he has not provided his readers with the source of his information, given the importance of the claim, but I suspect it is from an article published by a very dubious publishing house known as Herald Scholarly Open Access. This is regarded by many scholars as a “predatory” journal. You can judge for yourself. Here is the mission statement from this journal’s website: “Herald Scholarly Open Access is a leading, internationally publishing house in the fields of Sciences. Our mission is to provide an access to knowledge globally. We provide high-quality articles to the scientific com-
munity and we strive for your research improvement and distinguishment throughout the world.” English is the international language of science, so one would expect that the mission statement would not contain English language mistakes. The journal is either an internationallyknown publishing house, or an international publishing house. In either case, these are mistakes. Also, I’m not sure distinguishment is a word. The point is that the probable source is suspect. In addition, I invite any readers to learn more about Dr. Boyle, who incidentally has no credentials as a virologist. Here is an important website to check out to get some further perspective on the nature of this conspiracy theory: www.businesstoday. in/latest/world/story/francis-boyle-ali-khamenei-meetthe-superspreaders-behindtop-covid-19-conspiracy-theories-287648-2021-02-15. I’ll take one excerpt from it, but you really should read the whole thing. “Legitimate questions about the virus created perfect conditions for conspiracy theories. In the absence of knowledge, guesswork and propaganda flourished. “College professors with no evidence or training in virology were touted as experts. Anonymous social media users posed as highlevel intelligence officials. And from China to Iran to Russia to the United States, governments amplified claims for their own motives.” Who is Francis Boyle? A Harvard-trained law professor at the University of Illinois, Boyle drafted a 1989 law banning biological weapons and has advised the nation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Palestinian Authority. Boyle has no academic degree in virology or biology, but is a long-standing critic of research on pathogens. Evidence? Boyle bases his argument on circumstantial evidence. Unfortunately, space prevents me from including more, so I do urge you to read it. On the other hand, Mr. Vanderwoude is spot on when he concludes that the vaccines are the way to deal with COVID-19.

when you’re in a vehicle, no matter how short the trip. Seat belts and child safety seats save lives and stop injuries from happening. Safety buckles aren’t just for using in cars. Make sure to use the safety buckle on your helmet and life jacket too. Buckle up every time. Staying sober means no alcohol or drugs in your body. Staying sober allows you to be in full control of your mind and body while doing an activity or driving any type of vehicle, such as a car, truck, boat, all-terrain vehicle (ATV), or snowmobile. To lower the risk of an injury or accident when you drive, it’s also important that you’re not tired or distracted, for example, by your cell phone or other people in your vehicle. Remember that children under 16 should not drive a snowmobile or any size of ATV. Find support when you or someone you know needs help or support. It can be hard to deal with issues and challenges in your life when you face them alone. It’s okay to ask for help. Ask your family health care provider for help or call Health Link at 811 to speak with a registered nurse.

Taking smart risks means knowing an activity’s risks and then managing those risks to prevent injuries, according to Alberta Health Services. Think ahead and know the risks. You can only choose to take a smart risk if you know what the risks are. Prepare and plan before the activity so you can make smart choices. Before you do an activity like cross the street, ski down a hill, or climb a ladder, understand the risks and know how to manage them. Use protective equipment, like helmets and elbow and knee pads. Wear the right clothing and gear, such as safety glasses. Wearing the right gear lowers the risk of an injury at home, work, or play. It’s also important that you wear or use the right size of gear for your body. No matter what you’re doing–riding a bike, using tools, or going for a walk–wear the right gear. Training and practice help you learn how to do an activity and get better at it. This helps to lower your risk of an injury. Training includes job safety training, ski lessons, and driver education. Wear a seat belt (a type of safety buckle)

Guest Editorial
Canada voted By Arnold Malone
Canada has now concluded her 44th election for a cost of $600 million and, as a result, this country has been turned around 360 degrees. In the aftermath, many will ponder what has happened, and some will ask, “All of that, for this?” The cost is actually much more than $600 million. Many citizens have donated to their preferred party and that money is now spent. There will be an abundance of requests to refill those coffers. Worrisome for me is the chatter on radio talk-back programs requesting a change to our voting system. Worse is that too many are dreaming of a better world by advocating proportional representation (PR). If the opinion of those who advocate PR with the hope for greater political tranquillity, then they need to examine how PR is practised around the world. While there are some examples of smooth governance with PR, that is not the common result. Proportional Representation has two negatives. First, it leads, everywhere, to an expansion of political parties. Groups with a cause form an issue-based party, while trying to gain enough votes to elect some seats to a legislative body. Secondly, because majority governments are rare, the larger parties need to negotiate with smaller parties to obtain power. The result is those parties with lower voter popularity end up with exaggerated persuasion. It almost never happens that the party with the largest number of seats cooperates with the party with the second largest success. The runner-up party is looked upon as a political competitor. Germany, with 13 parties, just concluded an election that ended with no party having a majority. It will be several months before a new chancellor will be named. Of course, Angela Merkel continues as Chancellor until a new one takes office. What is to happen to a country should a serious crisis develop before a new leader is determined? Can the outgoing Chancellor govern with the same authority, while a new administration is waiting to be formed? In the past, Israel, after a new government, could not consolidate a governing coalition and another election was required. In short, it is a country without leadership, waiting with hope that nothing earth shattering would take place until an enduring voting process concludes. That is a vulnerable period because of a leadership vacuum. A government is the nation’s manager. Not one private sector corporation would ever select a policy board that was constructed with a multitude of opposing views. Good management shoots with a rifle, not a scatter gun. So, forget about what proportional representation did to Italy, with her 163 political parties. Italy is an abnormality. Consider Europe, where in seven countries, the smallest number of parties is seven and the largest number is 35. Surely a larger number of political parties does not lead to faster or more precise decision making. What is advantageous are political parties that have big tents where a wide range of views are accepted within. Finally, Canada is such a favoured nation. I can’t think of another place where I would prefer to live. So, if our present system has provided this level of security and comfort, what is all of this chatter about hunting for some new political electoral system? If we experiment with proportional representation to see if we might like it, consider what a gaggle of political parties would do if the public didn’t like the new procedure. There is no chance that those numerous smaller parties will give up their influence to revert back to our current system. With PR, a country is stuck. Try and change and the tail will wag the dog. The fringe controls the power.

Alcohol Awareness campaign By Lori Larsen
Since the beginning of the pandemic, people have been dealing with changes, sometimes daily: unexpected illness and death; financial hardships; business struggle and dissolution; isolation and separation; restrictions and recommendations; and overall disruption to what was once known as normal; all of which have been accompanied by a plethora of emotions and coping mechanisms, including the use and subsequent abuse of alcohol and/or drugs. With a vision to assist young people and adults in making healthy choices regarding coping during the pandemic, Camrose and Area Risk Education (CARE) Coalition is planning an Alcohol Awareness campaign aimed to provide supportive information, increase awareness of harms related to risk-taking behaviors, and increase resources and supports to enhance well-being. The CARE Coalition will be offering information and resources for parents, youth, seniors, workplaces and the general public. Each week, they will target one of these audiences and discuss the following topics in greater detail: 1. How to talk about alcohol. According to statistics provided by the CARE Coalition, approximately 80 per cent of Albertans drink alcohol. “It is embedded into our society, so let’s start talking about it,” advised CARE coalition members Tammy Richard and Jen Willes. “Talking about alcohol can help build healthy habits around it.” 2. Why do people drink? As part of this campaign, the CARE Coalition will explore why people of all ages drink and help them evaluate their drinking habits. “It is a tough time, we are all coping in different ways, and maybe drinking is one of yours,” said Jen Willes. “We would like people to ask themselves why they drink and, if it feels like it’s a problem, we will offer suggestions for change.” “Anyone can struggle
with alcohol use,” commented Willes. To evaluate your own drinking habits, one resource Willes recommends reading is the website article Knowing Your Limits with Alcohol: a practical guide to assessing your drinking. 3. How do I support others and myself? “You might be worried or unsure about your use or someone else’s,” explained Richard. “This is a common feeling right now, given the stress we are all experiencing. There are many options for getting support.” Some resources include counselling services, selfhelp groups and 24/7 helplines. In a time when people may be seeking help from home, there are online resources including Togetherall.com and the Alberta Health Services websitehelpintoughtimes.ca 4. Ways to Wellness. The Care Coalition wants to share alternative ways the community can be both mentally and physically healthy. Small steps can make a big difference, noted Richard, including physical activity, listening to music, and connecting with others as ways to enhance your wellness. Learn more ways to wellness in upcoming articles through the month of November. The CARE Coalition works closely with local stakeholders to ensure efforts are made that follow best practices. Current membership includes: Alberta Health Services (Addiction & Mental Health, Health Promotion), Battle River School Division, Elk Island Catholic School Division, Prairie Central FASD, Camrose and Area Family Resource Network, Camrose Women’s Shelter, Camrose Fire Department, Camrose Police Services, the Camrose Open Door and Camrose County Protective Services. Keep an eye out for posters around the City and check upcoming issues of The Camrose Booster for more information provided by the CARE Coalition on the four main messages of the Alcohol Awareness Campaign.

Facing grief by honouring some past memories One of the most difficult things any parent can experience is the loss of a child. The grief, for most, is unimaginable, but the grief for those who have had to face that as part of their journey in life is painfully tangible. For Colette Howery (formerly of Viking), the sudden loss of her beloved son Marc in October 2001 led her on a path of grief no mother should ever have to experience, that, if not for the grace of others, would have been even more difficult. Support came to the family from many avenues, including Marc’s longtime friend and classmate Karen Hunter, who, with the blessing of Marc’s family, initiated the process to create the University of Alberta Marc Howery Memorial Award. The award is given annually to a student who: • is involved in the residence systems • pays service to the university • has care and compassion for fellow students • demonstrates dedication and leadership

• participates in campus recreation or athletics in some format • has good academic achievement • and promotes a healthy lifestyle. “The first award was presented in 2003,” recalled Colette. “So, for 17 years, our family, along with Karen and her husband Casey McDonald, have been honoured to attend the Residence Community Awards (RCA) to present Marc’s award, and it has been an event that we looked forward to every year until COVID.” As a student of the University of Alberta, Marc moved into Lister Hall residence in 1996 onto 6 Mackenzie floor. “He was an active student in the community for three years before becoming the 6 Mac floor coordinator in 1999,” noted Karen, in her comments honouring the 20th anniversary of Marc’s passing. “Marc was a leader on his floor and a valuable asset to the very energetic and excited Mac Hall Council of that year.” According to Karen, Marc moved into Newton

w w w. o l s o n r a u . c a this award to deserving students has factored in beautifully with Colette’s own healing journey. “It (Marc’s passing) was one of the worse things that has ever happened to me,” said Colette, who decided the only way for her to handle the grief was to learn and understand grief. “I had to learn as much as I could about grief before it had a chance to consume me, so I took every educational opportunity and I learned from some amazing grief gurus.” Through her learning, she also found great solace with the Hospice Society. “I can walk into that Hospice office and be surrounded by their big caring hearts.” Her goal to learn as much as she could to better understand her own grief also led to a path of helping others. Ten years ago, Colette, along with Donna Lynne Erickson, was asked by the Alberta Hospice Palliative Care Association to put together a grief workshop. “We were only supposed to present it in Camrose and Rimbey, and we did, then it just took off, and now we have done 38 workshops.” Not only does the workshop continue to provide Colette with a positive way to deal with her grief, but it provides much needed support for others on their own journeys of grief. After retiring from her nursing career, Colette decided to take the Hospice Society of Camrose volunteer training as another
part of her own process through grief, and has since become an active member of the Grief Walking Group, continues offering the Bereavement and Grief workshops, and is a grief companion. “I walk alongside other moms on their grief journeys,” said Colette, noting that just having someone there who can listen or just be silent is so very important. Marking the 20th year of celebrating Marc’s life since his passing, Colette is proud that he is still being honoured in a way that would have meant so much to him. The Marc Howery Memorial Award is available to any eligible student living in residences at the University of Alberta and/or Campus Saint-Jean in Edmonton. To apply or nominate someone who fits the criteria of the award, visit www.ualberta. c a /r e s i d e n c e /c u r r e n t residents/awards.html. “We are so grateful to Karen for creating this award, for the University of Alberta (Office of Advancement) for managing the scholarship, to all who have supported this fund, and to all the students who have expressed interest in Marc’s award,” said Colette. The Hospice Society of Camrose will be offering two free Bereavement and Grief Workshops on Friday, October 22, and Saturday, November 20, from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. For more details, visit the Hospice website at www.camrosehospice.org/ what-s-happening.

Adult Mental Health Hub assisting those in need By Lori Larsen
A group of dedicated representatives from local support organizations and agencies have formed the Adult Mental Health Hub (hereinafter referred to as the Hub) in an effort to ensure Camrose adults are provided with the best mental health services support. The current service team consists of the following agencies: Alberta Health Services (Addiction and Mental Health), Camrose Police Service, Camrose RCMP, Children Services, Camrose and District Primary Care Network and St. Mary’s Hospital/Covenant Health. Additional members consist of Alberta Works, Canadian Mental Health Association, Camrose Family Resource Network, Family Community Support Services, Justice Services, Ministerial Committee, The Open Door, Specialized Medical Services and Camrose Women’s Shelter. “One of the Hub’s key objectives is to streamline communication across agencies, identify each of our roles, and minimize any gaps for individuals and families who may be encountering difficulty seeking services,” said Kristie Soanes, an Alberta Health Services nurse and co-chair of the Hub. Camrose Family Resource Centre director Laurie Jansen further explained the goal of the Hub. “Our goal is to have families be supported in the most comprehensive way. “Often individual agencies have small pieces of support being offered. When the agencies are being collaborative, wraparound service happens and families receive optimal service and support.” The Camrose Family Resource Centre provides support and services to families with children from 0 to 18 years of age. “We became involved with the Adult Mental Health Hub in order to provide wraparound services to families experiencing difficulties,” said Jensen. “Our clinic became involved in the Hub with the intent to better serve mental health clients with complex needs,” explained Camrose Addiction and Mental Health Clinic mental health therapist Morgan Cassidy. “The Hub’s primary goal is to assess all clients with a wholistic approach, addressing all factors from a psychosocial perspective that may be contributing to their presenting mental health problems. The Hub allows agencies to communicate ideas, treatment plans, and offer resources that can better serve the client with the goal to build resiliency in our clients.”
By including a good cross-section of support organizations on the Hub team, the clients are assured of getting the best care available and benefitting from the team’s skills, knowledge and experience. The Camrose Open Door Association FASD coordinator Amy Cardinal shared her goals as a member of the Hub. “My goals would be to improve these individuals’ quality of life, as well as collaborating, planning, and developing support programs for the individuals who are referred into the Hub, and working alongside the Hub members to implement support services for them.” With a common goal of providing the best mental health services and solutions to adults in Camrose, collaboration with other key partners in the community is vital. “We (Hub team) make it as easy and simple as possible to get Camrose residents the support they need in a timely, efficient way,” explained Central Region Child InterventionChildren’s Services child intervention health liaison practice specialist Sandra Daniel. “We get to learn from one another and benefit from collective knowledge about what services and supports individual partners can offer. Camrose has some incredible programs and resources.”
tance they need, which will improve their lives and reduce the number of crisis moments they have involving police or any other agency,” explained Bauer, adding that having the other Hub agencies dealing with these individuals perhaps when they are at their best, seeing how they react to police response can be very beneficial. “Often when we give the police perspective on that same individual, it very much enlightens the agency and they see a completely different side of the individual. This helps the agency that is dealing with the individual to take a different approach with the care that they provide.” Wholistic approach
The Hub is not only available to adults requiring the supports and resources provided, but the approach is wholistic, which means including support for families as well. Daniel commented, “Children’s Services child intervention responds to concerns about the safety and well-being of children and youth in Alberta. “Child intervention becomes involved when a parent can’t protect a child from harm, or is at danger of being harmed as outlined in our legislation, the Child, Youth and Family Enhancement Act.” Daniel said that prior
“W
hen the agencies are being collaborative, wraparound service happens and families receive optimal service and support,” said Camrose Family Resource Centre director Laurie Jensen. Camrose Police Service Crime Prevention and Community Relations officer Constable Kelly Bauer commented on the important role the Hub will play in the enhancing the services of policing. “As police, we continually go to mental healthrelated calls. But because we are not mental health professionals, we deal with the situation as best as we can. Most often, it is a band aid approach. We help the person in the moment, but are not equipped to deal with the underlying issues. By bringing a team of professionals together collectively, we can assist the individual from different angles based on what their needs are.” Often, the police are the first contact someone suffering from mental health concerns will have, so having another tool available, such as the shared knowledge of the Hub team, can have a greater impact. “Our goal is to get people the longer-term assis-
to the Hub being created, the child intervention staff already worked with many Hub members. “Since we provide services to children, youth and families, the Hub gives us the opportunity to refer eligible young adults and parents, who may benefit from flexible and creative services and programs.” Those seeking the services of the Hub come from all sectors of the community and can receive assistance for a variety of reasons. “We have assisted people with income support, employment, housing, addiction and their mental health,” reported Bauer. “In cases where there is a need for more than one element, different agencies will take a different piece of the puzzle. Families can also be involved. In one case, we had a mother join the Hub meeting to discuss the history of her daughter, who was struggling in several areas. It was one of our best meetings, as we were able to get a history of the individual, which assisted
us in getting her the help she needed. Family is of great value to us, but sadly in so many of these cases, family support is no longer available.”

How it works
With the goal being to assist adults struggling with mental health concerns, it was important to ensure all aspects of social support throughout the community would be able to offer access to the services of the Hub. “Referrals usually come from one of the agencies involved in the Hub,” noted Cassidy. “Once a client has been referred, the referral is presented to the Hub team, during which time the agencies will discuss the presenting problem. From there, we work towards developing a treatment plan or specific actions each team member can take to support the client.” According to Bauer, referrals can be made by any of the partners in the Hub. “A person referred is already a client of the agency doing the referral, but is needing assistance from the group. The referrals are the ‘complex cases’ that one particular agency is having difficulties with in meeting all of the client’s needs. “One key element is that the agency doing the referring must explain the Hub to the person and then get their consent to be referred. This allows us to discuss the client’s needs within the group, by only sharing enough information as required, to assist in getting them the right help that they need.” An agency within the Hub (depending on that individual’s needs) will then take an active role in assisting. “When the person gets a phone call from that agency identifying that they are from the Hub, it won’t come as a surprise or blindside the individual, which should result in them being much more open to accepting assistance,” explained Bauer. Cardinal said, with regards to the process of referrals, “I am able to refer clients by filling out the Camrose Adult Mental Health Referral Form and emailing the completed form to Alberta Health Services Hub intake. Once the client is referred, the Hub coordinator will then determine if this referral will be discussed in the next meeting, is not appropriate for Hub, needing excess information, or if this individual was previously presented in this meeting and no other action is required.” The referrals are all done internally to avoid the risk of the Hub becoming inundated with outside calls and subsequently not being able to deal with the client’s being referred to by

members of the Hub in a thorough manner. “Individuals with those ‘complex issues’ will quickly come to the surface of people who need assistance,” noted Bauer. “As police, we do a good portion of the referrals because we see people when they are in crisis. When those crisis situations occur frequently in someone’s life, it becomes very clear that a referral should be made with their consent.” On a final note, the Hub team relies on the strictest of confidentiality of all its members and works tightly as a group to ensure that individual client’s needs are being met. “The Hub provides access to the best possible mental health supports for Camrose adults, all in one place,” remarked Daniel. “We are proud to be part of this innovative initiative.”

Standing up for your health By Lori Larsen
It has been proven over and over again that sitting for prolonged periods of time can have a detrimental impact on a person’s health. Humans were built to stand upright. Our body systems, including heart, cardiovascular and bowels, work far more effectively when in the upright position, not to mention scads of other health benefits. A number of health problems have been linked to prolonged periods of being sedentary, including increased risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, hip, back and neck pain, and anxiety and depression. Some experts say that people who are inactive, including sitting for long periods of time, have a
147 per cent higher risk of suffering from a heart attack. According to JustStand. org, the average person sits (is sedentary) for 12 hours per day; sitting is the fourth leading cause for global mortality; and 3.2 million deaths annually are related to physical inactivity. Think of the amount of time you spend at work or school, driving, riding on public transit, waiting for appointments, attending events, eating, watching television, playing video games and the multitude of other activities we do, quite subconsciously, while sitting. Adding more physically active time to your day is easier than you may think. If you sit for prolonged periods at your job, consider (wherever possible) a stand/sit work station. Camrose exercise spe-
cialist Connie Harrison suggests the 30/30 rule of standing up and moving around for 30 seconds every 30 minutes. “We humans don’t necessarily notice when 30 minutes has gone by, so we all probably need an alarm going off to remind us (phones, fitness monitors or timers). Take 30 seconds to stretch, balance, do a wall/counter push-up, or walk a lap around the house/office.” Harrison advised working in the four categories of physicality, including: f lexibility, balance, strength, and cardio. “We can switch it up to a different category every time throughout the day when we do our 30 seconds. If we actually did this, our bodies would get a reasonable amount of exercise throughout the day.” Continued on page 23

Buffaloes football program continues with success By Murray Green
The Camrose Buffaloes football teams are preparing for playoffs. The atom Camrose Buffaloes Navy team played the Sherwood Park Wolverines. “The Buffaloes held their ground and showed great grit in their competitive game. They showcased awesome skill and growth in their offence; both touchdowns were full field runs, with great passes and receives. The game was neck and neck the whole way through, and the Buffaloes kept it tied with a final score of 2-2,” said coach Pier Juneau. The Red team played the Fort Saskatchewan Falcons in Edmonton. “On defence, the Buffaloes worked well as a team together. The Buffaloes showed great skill in learning their opponents’ plays and adapting their own strategy to hold their line and create touchdowns. Overall, the players had a great showing and played really well. The Buffaloes lost a tight game ending 4-2 for the Falcons,” shared Pier. The peewee version of
the Highway 13 Bowl versus Wetaskiwin was held on October 9 in Camrose. “It was the biggest challenge the Buffaloes have faced this season, as Wetaskiwin is right behind us in the standings,” said coach Brad Berger. However, when the final buzzer sounded, the Buffaloes walked off with a 58-0 win. The offence, led by quarterback Jacob Berger, had touchdown scores from players Rico Heinz, Phoebe Berkholtz-Cottrell, Jordan Steil and Wyatt Bardel. “The defence, led by Natty Lee, Cole Bratrud, Bostyn Stuckky, Danny Lamontagne and Noah L’Heureux, pitched yet another shutout to continue the Buffaloes undefeated season.” The peewee Buffaloes will be playing the Stony Plain Bombers on Sunday, October 24, in an away game. With a great team effort on Saturday, the bantam Buffaloes were able to come out with a 34-6 win over the Sherwood Park Wolverines at Kin Park.
“ T he Buf faloes defence, led by Nate MacDonald, is a defence that I would not want to face as a coach. They work so well as a team and there are so many stand-out players. They are next to impossible to score on,” said coach Troy Christie. “It took the Buffaloes offence a couple of quarters to come together, and it took a whole team effort to shut down the Wolverines’ unusually large nose guard. Great double teaming from the line and great back field blocking opened up the passing for Brady. He was able to throw to Logen Christie for two of his three touchdowns on Saturday. Great blocking from the line in the second half also opened holes for Ryan Skardal and Howells Boateng, who ran in for over a 25-yard touchdown at Kin Park.” The team completes the regular season in a road game against the Fort Saskatchewan Falcons on Sunday, October 24 before playoffs begin.

Fall Auto Prep Guide Pontiac 1966 GTO a classic treasure By Murray Green
Kim Plantz of Camrose owns a 1966 Pontiac GTO. “I have had this car since 2006. I wanted one since I was eight years old and finally I could afford it,” shared Kim. “It sat in my garage, well, I took it out a little bit. The trouble was it didn’t run that well. This past year, I had the motor done and a bunch of electrical problems were looked after, and now it is finally a cruiser. I’m not a mechanic, so I had to save up to have the motor looked after. When you have children, then they are the priority,” explained Kim. “I wanted a GTO, but would have settled for a LeMans because they are similar. Then this car came up, and I bought it out of Red Deer. Before that, it came from Indiana. The guy bought it unseen and it wasn’t as original as he wanted it to be,” revealed Kim. “It has a 400 engine in it, normally it would come with a 389 engine. It has a four-speed automatic transmission. Big cars ride nice and this is a good cruiser. The old ’60s cars roll along pretty good,” he added. “I’ve changed the tires and put on some radials. Before, they had the bias ply tires. I put an original

FUN FACTS
Pontiac offered what is called its GTO option package on the midsize Pontiac Tempest for the first time in 1964. The initials GTO were designer John DeLorean’s homage to the famous Ferrari race car, which had earned European racing’s Gran Turismo Omologato designation. In 1966, the almost $300 performance package came standard with the 389-cubic inch big block engine. The basic GTO upgrade on the Tempest LeMans pushed the price tag to just under $3,000. The standard transmission featured a Hurst shifter, but only had three forward speeds. Upgrading to a Tri-power 389 Trophy Motor and a four-speed carried additional charges. The interior went through several changes in the 1966 redesign. It was handier and also more comfortable. General Motors designers moved the ignition key to the right side of the steering column, made all interior knobs and handles from plastic, rather than brittle pot metal, and installed new Strato bucket seats with contoured cushions and adjustable headrests. In 1966, Pontiac used a unique louvered cover over the 12 bars, six on each side, on the rear tail lights. The 1966 model had a square egg crate-style inset surrounded by a two-inch plastic molding painted in a contrasting silver color.
much as you see it, but you can hide some stuff. I jumped into the car and told my son to buckle up. He grabbed the seatbelt and it wasn’t hooked to the floor. I stepped on it a little bit and the dash pad came off,” Kim laughed. “There were a lot of silly things wrong with the car that I had to repair. The person dressed it up to sell it and he did. You can still find parts that are available for them, more so in the States, so if you are willing to pay shipping, you can find parts. You can get everything you need for this car,” said Kim. “You don’t see a lot of early GTOs in Alberta, but you can find them in the States, and the parts. I’m not sure why that is, but you can find what you need,” said Kim. “I’m pretty excited now that I can just jump in and drive it. The car was always white and I haven’t done anything with the body. When it was on the hoist, I noticed the door and fender
were pretty close together. You could see a chunk of Bondo gone. We fixed that, but eventually it is going to need more than that. Gaps need to be adjusted, but one thing at a time. I’m still working, so I fix
things as I go and when I have time,” admitted Kim. “It is a solid car otherwise. I will work on the front end suspension in the future. I want to keep it stock as much as possible, but upgrade a few things.”

Check your brakes before its too late By Lori Larsen
As a vital part of your vehicle’s safety, brakes should be maintained and inspected on a regular basis. Your vehicle brakes may be giving you warning signs of wear that should not be ignored. If your brake light comes on, squealing, squeaking or grinding noises are coming from the brakes, you experience wobbling or vibrating when braking, the brake pedal is spongy or soft, your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, or there is a burning smell while driving, these could all be indicators of brake problems. If you notice fluids under your vehicle, it could indicate a leak in brake fluids. Brake fluid is used to ensure the movement of various components of your vehicle’s braking system. Be sure to consistently check the level of your brake fluids and for leaks or cracks in your brake fluid reservoir tank. If you need to add fluid, consult the owner’s manual of your
vehicle to ensure you are using the correct fluid. Mechanics generally recommend changing your brake fluid every 48,000 kilometres or two years. The master cylinder in your braking system creates the pressure that forces the brake fluid through the system. If, when you apply the brakes on your vehicle, they feel spongy or soft, or the check engine light comes on, then it could be an indicator that something is wrong with the cylinder. Work on your master cylinder will need to be done by professional brake specialists. The brake lines on your vehicle consist of high-pressure steel lines that carry the fluid in most areas, and rubber lines that are used near the wheels so the lines can move as you steer. Changing your brake fluid will assist in making the lines last longer and, again, checking for puddles or signs of leakage near the lines or any moisture inside the wheels (outside of environmental causes) could indicate holes in the lines.

During the October 9 to 11 long weekend, Operation Impact 2021 initiative “Be a Hero. Aim for Zero”, Camrose Police Service, in a joint forces operation with Alberta Sheriffs Impaired Detection Unit, issued three impaired driving charges, two IRS suspensions and several speeding violation tickets. Overall, they were happy to report no major motor vehicle collisions. “The goal to prevent collisions, save lives and reduce and prevent injury hit its mark,” reported Camrose Police Service Traffic Enforcement officer Constable Sarah Day.

be here, Day said CPS will continue to focus on promoting safe driving. “Our ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of impaired driving to zero.” Day reminded motorists of all the options available to them so they never have to get behind the wheel when their ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs. “Take a taxi to and from your destinations, designate a driver who is not consuming alcohol or drugs, call a sober friend or family member or arrange to have them drop you off and pick you up, but never operate your motor vehicle when your ability to do so is impaired. It is just not worth the risk.” According to the Province of Alberta statistics (Traffic Safety) (www.alberta.ca/ alcohol- an d- dr ivin g. aspx#jumplinks-3) over five years (2012 to 2016), collisions involving drinking drivers injured 5,494 people and killed 368 people. Investigating police officers reported 1,579 drivers who had consumed some alcohol were involved in casualty collisions, and 134 people died, 772 people were seriously injured, and 1,402 people sustained minor injuries.
Further to the reports, 2,330 impaired drivers were involved in casualty collisions where 234 people died, 1,172 people were seriously injured and 2,148 people sustained minor injuries. On average, one in six motorists involved in fatal collisions had been drinking prior to the collision. Between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2018, there were 34,185 criminal convictions for impaired driving in Alberta. “The hope is we can drastically reduce those numbers by educating the public and reminding them of the importance of keeping our roads safe for everyone. Even three charges of impaired driving is three too many.” Citizens are encouraged to work together with local law enforcements agencies to stop impaired driving and ensure everyone safely gets where they need to be. Curb the Danger and report a suspected impaired driver by telephoning 911 and reporting the last direction of travel of the suspect vehicle, make of the vehicle and a license plate number (if safe to obtain).

Do not leave your vehicle unattended while it is running. A vehicle is an easy target for theft and it can damage your engine. Canadian motorists shouldn’t leave their vehicles idling for more than 30 seconds, even in winter. When the temperature drops below zero, the recommended warm-up time is less than half a minute. Letting your vehicle run idle for more than 30 seconds will actually do more damage than good. Never leave your running vehicle unattended. “Light-duty gasoline and diesel vehicles are recommended to warm for 30 seconds (check your owner’s manual for any specific recommendation),” reports Idle-Free VT. Natural Resources Canada also provides advice on recommended warm-ups in different temperature ranges. When above freezing temperatures, there is no need to warm up a vehicle. The best way to warm up is to drive the vehicle at a moderate pace. If below freezing, then up to 30 seconds is enough to allow for complete circulation of engine oil. Warmup time is also determined by the effectiveness of defrosting–do not drive if
you can’t see clearly out of the windshield. Driving the car (slowly to moderately) is the best way to warm it up. Wheel bearings, steering, suspension, transmission, catalytic converter and tires also need warming up. The only way to do that is to drive the vehicle. Driving around the block is a better way to charge up your battery than idling. In extreme cold, idling the engine for a period of one to three minutes can become necessary, allowing thickened engine oil to adequately circulate throughout the engine and for the likely increased time needed for defrosting/de-icing. However, more than three minutes, even in these conditions, is considered excessive. Engine manufacturers also recommend to shut down and restart at least several times a day, rather than continuous idling, to save fuel and engine wear. With the weather getting colder, police are urging citizens to be careful when warming up their vehicles. Car thieves actively look for easy vehicles to steal. Vehicles that are left running and unlocked outside of homes, grocery stores, or even gas stations make easy targets for criminals. It only takes a

This is a built-in safety feature. Do not leave these vehicles running. If you must leave your vehicle running, consider
using a steering wheel locking device or a remote starter to deter thieves. Lock your vehicle. Most vehicle thefts and thefts from vehicles occur to vehicles that are left unlocked. Remove all valuables from your vehicle–out of sight, out of mind approach. Report any suspicious activity you might see in your neighbourhood. This is an excellent way to help

RCMP offer safe driving tips By Murray Green
RCMP members are reminding citizens that driving conditions are changing with winter approaching. Days are shorter, sun glare is more prevalent, and children are walking or biking to school in early morning hours, when it is still dark. When driving in the fall and winter, consider sun glare. Clean the inside of your windshield at least once a month. Many drivers clean the outside windshield on a regular basis, but tend to neglect the inside. Check your
windshield for pitting and cracks. To help others see you, drive with your headlights on, signal all your intentions and make sure all lights are clean and visible. Increase your following distance to at least four or five seconds. Wear good quality sunglasses and if the glare is really bad (which can be the case at sunrise or sunset), pull over someplace safe and wait a couple of minutes for the sun to move. Use your sun visor–it can help to block out the sun Make eye contact with pedestrians and/or cyclists.
This applies not only to drivers, but for pedestrians and cyclists as well. Pedestrians should refer to “Point, pause, proceed” when crossing roadways. Remember the maximum posted speed is under ideal conditions. Weather and temperatures are very unpredictable at times. Roads may appear dry/ clear, but frost or ice may be present Do not procrastinate, have winter tires put on before it starts snowing. Remember to give yourself more braking distance on icy/snowy roadways.
Re/Max will park a trailer in front of its office from noon until 4 p.m., and will then move it to the Recreation Centre from 5 to 7:30 p.m. prior to the

Let’s keep opening doors
If we thought the COVID-19 pandemic was hard and awkward, it’s now been taken to a whole new level with vaccine records required to enter restaurants and city buildings throughout the province. I was recently visiting with someone who had just found out that two elderly relatives, both unvaccinated, were now in the hospital with COVID. He was angry because having the vaccine would have likely prevented this from happening. He then said that he likes having to flash the vaccine record because it makes him feel safe that everyone in the building who is eligible has been vaccinated. That’s fine, that’s his opinion. I find it awkward and sad that it has come to that, but we can all have our own opinions. Then he began talking about unvaccinated people as irresponsible and non-respectable because they have chosen to remain unvaccinated. He goes out of his way to walk further away from unmasked people indoors because he feels they are in total denial about what’s going on in the world. This part of the conversation made me pause, because we are all people who are trying to make the best decisions for our health. Just because we disagree, doesn’t mean we should look down on others for their choices. He argues that doing the right thing for your health and the health of others around you shouldn’t be a choice. There is a definite line that the province has drawn between vaccinated and unvaccinated. But people on the other side of the line from you are still just that–people. They have spouses, bills to pay, lawns to mow, children to drive to school. They still deserve respect. I feel that when the vaccine first came out, there should have been a government media blitz with newspaper and television ads explaining how the vaccine was made so fast, what it does to your body and why it’s important to have it. Then maybe getting the vaccine wouldn’t have turned into such a big thing. Maybe that information was there all along, but there was so much fear mongering on social media and unreliable websites that the information got all jumbled up. I didn’t question it when public health said my children should receive vaccinations at two months, four months, six months and so on for diseases like polio, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. When a disease like polio hit the country in waves from the 1920s to 1950s, those parents would have given anything to prevent their child from getting the disease. Why then would I not try to prevent my children from getting it now? But that’s how I feel. Other people feel they won’t get very sick even if they catch COVID, based on their age or health; others feel the vaccine hasn’t been around long enough or received enough testing. That’s not how I feel, but I will not be angry with those people or feel like they are worthless. Society breaks down when one group of people decides that they are superior over another group. (Though truthfully, if I had a child who had a surgery cancelled because the hospital was full of unvaccinated people, I would probably have more difficulty accepting someone else’s decision not to be vaccinated.) The band 100 Mile House, an Edmonton-based husband and wife folk duo, has a song called “Better, Still”. The lyrics say, “This year I’ll make a change. Maybe buy some savings bonds. So I’ll be a better husband, a better friend. I’ll eat less dairy, I’ll count to 10. I’ll call back home when I say I will. We could all be better, still. I’m trying.” That’s what I think we need to do. Keep trying to be better. Hold doors open for others, be respectful of other people’s choices, be a good friend by being a good listener. That’s how we can endure tough times.
Standing up for the betterment of your health Continued from page 15
During your standing time, move back and forth, take small steps to the sides or move up and down on your toes, stretch, lift hand weights, do toe touches, squats or other light exercises. Stand up while you read emails or reports. Stand up and go over to fellow employees’ desks rather than send emails or texts or call out. Move your garbage can away from your desk so you actually have to get up to throw anything away. Stand or walk around during virtual meetings if you are able to put the speaker on mute and turn off the video. “It’s easier if we tie standing to another task, so we actually stand during it,” suggested Harrison. Other ways to slip physical activity into your daily routine can include the following. Consider walking or cycling to work or school. If you must drive to work, then park your vehicle as far away from the facility as possible. If you use city transit, get off the bus a couple stops before your actual stop and walk the rest of the way. Use the stairs instead of the escalator, or at least walk up the escalator. Consider a walking or workout lunch hour, and use your breaks to walk around the office area or building. Eat your lunch standing up, it is much better for your digestive health. Use some of the following simple tricks at home as well. If watching television, using the computer, playing video games, sewing, painting or reading, apply the 30/30 rule and stand up and do something active for 30 seconds. Set timers to remind you to get up and be active. Do your body weight and muscle training exercises while watching television. When tidying up the home, put items away using more trips than one. Eat your meal at a pullup island or, if you are sitting at the table, leave items on the counter so you have to get up a few times during the meal. Walk around while speaking on the telephone. After being cooped up all day inside during working hours, take some time to get out and get some physical activity and fresh air. It is tempting to head
Wilfred Stauffer Wilfred Stauffer, of Tofield, Alberta, was born on July 18, 1929 (about 30 minutes before his twin brother Wilbur); he passed on October 5, 2021 at the age of 92 years. They were born at their home in Duchess, Alberta, to parents Howard Otterbein Stauffer and Stella (Brubaker) Stauffer, and joined an older brother Norman, aged four. When Wilfred was only four years old his mother died giving birth to his sister, Fern. Later on, his father married his stepmother, Mary Holderbein. A half-brother Charles was stillborn and was buried in the Mountview Mennonite Church plot near Aldersyde, Alberta. They later adopted a baby girl and named her Faith, and this completed their family. Wilfred attended school in Duchess, then in Rosemary for a time, then the family moved to the High River area, where they lived and farmed until he was about 22 years old. At that time, the family moved to the Tofield area, where they continued to farm. In 1967, Wilfred met the love of his life, Margaret (Johnston). They met on April 5, 1967, their first date was April 6, 1967 and they were married on May 5, 1967. Once Uncle was done farming, he started finishing/refinishing hardwood floors. He really enjoyed doing floors, as he told us quite often how much he enjoyed this type of work. Uncle and Auntie then began managing high-rise apartment buildings. They were in Burnaby, BC and Calgary, AB for many years. Uncle was the fix-it maintenance man and Auntie did the bookkeeping. They would usually come to Tofield in the summer with their car and travel trailer. Once Uncle and Auntie moved back to Tofield, their favourite pastime was going to Tilly’s for supper and had their daily coffee date there also. Wilfred was predeceased by his wife Margaret; his mother and father; stepmother Mary; a second stepmother Barbara; brotherin-law George Boese; sisters Fern and Faith; brother and sister-inlaw Norman and Evelyn Stauffer; and his twin brother Wilbur Stauffer. He has many nieces and nephews, great-nieces and greatnephews; and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews. On November 14, 2018, Wilfred prayed the Sinner’s Prayer with Coleen and Gwen. As soon as he prayed the prayer, his eyes opened really wide, and he said, “WOW!” and started to cry. He was then asked, “You really felt the Lord’s presence?” He said, “Yes and I’ll never forget this.” He started crying and kind of laughing too. He was so touched! Gwen and Coleen felt it was such an honour and privilege to be part of such a special and holy moment. Wilfred was such a joy to be around. He brought such joy to those all around. He was a very social person. He loved visiting with family and friends. A private family memorial service will be held at a later date at Salem Mennonite Church, south of Tofield. Memorial donations may be made to the Mennonite Central Committee.

straight for the couch, but that 30 minutes of fresh air and exercise will help you sleep better and improve your overall physical and mental health. If you are new to physical activity, or if have a health condition, always consult your physician first. On a final note, Harrison encourages people to actually track how much they stand/walk in a day. “It can be shockingly low.” It may be time to stand up for your health.

Frances Gail Pfeiffer
Calvin Lauber Calvin James Lauber passed away peacefully on October 8, 2021, at the age of 81 years. He was born into the Joe and Martha Lauber family and lived his first years on their farm about five miles southwest of Ryley. There, he attended the Solberg School until the family moved to a farm one mile south and one mile east of the Salem Church. During the family’s stay there, Calvin attended the Standard School south of Dodds for about two years until the family moved again to the farm one mile south of the Church that became their long-term home. From there, Calvin attended the Grand Forks School for grades three to six, the Bardo School for grades seven to nine, and Ryley High School for grades 10 to 12, graduating in 1957. He then enrolled in Chemical Engineering at the U of A, graduating with honours in 1961. He worked as a Chemical Engineer for a few years before acquiring some land and moving into full-time farming on the farm where he had spent the latter part of his childhood years. He resided at this farm until the time of his death. He leaves to mourn his passing: his brothers Ben (Pearl), Murray, and Byron (Leslie), and sister Phyllis (Geoff) Milligan; nephews Darwin, Rod, Lonnie (Michele), Derek (Kim), Graeme (Susan) and Chris (Megan); nieces Mardelle (Dale) Oslund, Darlene (Wayne) Showalter, Charlene (Vic) Roth, Luella (Jon) Anderson, Pamela (Ted) Alexander, Heidi Lauber (Jed), Allyson Lauber, Lisa Milligan Kalis and Andrea Milligan-Coyle (Kelly); 33 great-nieces and great-nephews; and 20 great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews. Calvin was predeceased by his parents Joe and Martha Lauber; his brothers Leo and William; sisters-in law Ellen, Lois, and Sylvia; and niece Michelle. He was baptized in the Salem Mennonite Church at an early age. Over the years, he shared his guitar-playing talent during worship times and at many church events. He also played the banjo and the harmonica. He was a strong singer, with a deep bass voice, and sang in quartets and choirs, including the Tofield Men’s Chorus for many years. In his younger days, he was a curler, played baseball, did a little golfing, and enjoyed playing hockey. He was very invested in the work of the Round Hill-Dodds Agricultural Protection Association and was instrumental in staving off a proposed coal mine development that would have swallowed up his farm and much of the surrounding area. He was a deep thinker and was well read. He enjoyed a thought-provoking, intelligentlywritten book or article. He enjoyed times together with family at various celebrations; lunches at Tilly’s with his brothers; regular coffee time at Rod’s house with the neighbours; lunch in town at various food establishments, where he would visit with his friends; and the annual Lauber family picnic. For much of his life, he struggled with a form of mental illness and, thankfully, with the help of proper diagnosis and medicine, he was able to manage his illness. Perhaps that had a lot to do with why he chose to live an uncomplicated life and he enjoyed many of the simple things – good food, the beauty of nature and the passing seasons (he kept meticulous records of the weather), music, sports on television, and a good visit. He loved his Lord, his farm, and his family. A funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, October 15, 2021, at Salem Mennonite Church, Tofield, AB (one mile north of the intersection of Twp. Rd. 492 and Rg. Rd. 184). Friends and extended family were welcome to show their support to Calvin’s family by driving in to the church parking lot, where an FM Radio transmission of the service was available. Memorial donations may be made to the Mennonite Central Committee or to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Left to cherish his memory are his parents Tim and Jana Falk; his brothers Carl (Kelly) Falk, Appollon, and Elijah; his sisters Danaya Falk, Ebony Falk, and Skyler; his foster niece Larissa; his special Aunty Heather; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

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.
SAHAKARINI BOTTLE DRIVE – We can take your empty bottles/cans/cartons to Universal Bottle Depot in Camrose or Daysland Bottle Depot, and leave your refund as a donation in the name of the Sahakarini Account.

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.

Camrose Kodiaks defeated the Calgary Canucks 5-1 and 4-1 in Alberta Junior Hockey League action on October 8 and 9. In the first meeting, Camrose built up a 3-1 score in the opening period to set the tone of the game. Sam Boldt, Roc Truman and Griffen Fraser scored for the Kodiaks. After a scoreless second period, Owen Dean notched in the third to complete the scoring. Goalie Jackson Fellner made 18 of 19 saves for Camrose, while the Kodiaks fired 35 shots at the Calgary net. In the rematch, Camrose again went to work in the first, this time, later in the period. Ryan Sullivan and Dean scored before the Canucks replied. Dean netted his second marker in the contest in the middle frame. Connor Gourley and Boldt added to the lead in the third period. Goalie Logan Willcott made 21 of 22 saves for the Kodiaks. Camrose recorded 39 shots on goal, but were zero for seven with the man advantage. The first-place Brooks Bandits proved they were still the team to beat when they handed Camrose a 7-3 loss on October 11. The Kodiaks continued to start strong with a 2-1 lead after 20 minutes. Callum Gau and Michael Lovsin collected the tallies for Camrose. However, in the second period, Brooks scored three times to turn the momentum of the contest. They made it five straight goals, with two more in the third before Truman scored for the Kodiaks. A late Brooks power-play marker ended the scoring. Willcott started in net for the Kodiaks by making 12 saves on 15 shots. Fellner came in relief, making 21 of 25 saves. Camrose had 23 shots on goal. The next home games are against the Whitecourt Wolverines on Wednesday October 20, the Canmore Eagles on October 29, and a special Halloween matinee against the Canucks on October 31 at 2 p.m. The Recreation Centre follows the Restrictions Exemption Program.

National women’s team takes on Kodiaks By Murray Green
The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), in partnership with Hockey Canada, announced an exhibition series featuring Canada’s National Women’s Team and the AJHL. Team Canada’s centralization roster will play four AJHL clubs in its preparation for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China. “The Alberta Junior Hockey League is excited to compete against Hockey Canada’s National Women’s Team in their preparation for a gold medal pursuit in Beijing,” said AJHL commissioner Ryan Bartoshyk. The team will play Drumheller, Olds, Camrose and Calgary. On November 3, the women’s team plays the Camrose Kodiaks in the Encana Arena at 7 p.m. Spectators are welcome to attend all games in the series, while adhering to the facility guidelines in place to ensure the overall safety of the athletes and fans. The coaching staff and 29 players selected to centralize in Calgary have resumed their Olympic training, which is also expected to include games against the United States, as well as a potential series against Finland. The National Women’s Team recently concluded games versus the Trail Smoke Eaters and Cranbrook Bucks of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). Canada’s final 23-player roster for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games is tentatively scheduled to be unveiled in late December. For more information on Hockey Canada, Canada’s National Women’s Team, visit HockeyCanada.ca. Canada lost 8-3 to the BCHL’s Cranbrook Bucks and 5-1 to the Trail Smoke Eaters in its first games since winning the women’s world hockey championship August 31. The National Women’s Team is currently centralized in Calgary in preparation for Beijing. Twenty-six skaters are trying out for 20 spots on the Olympic roster. Three goaltenders have already been named to the Beijing-bound side: AnnRenee Desbiens, Emerance Maschmeyer and Kristen Campbell. Maschmeyer is an AJHL alumna, having appeared in seven games for the Lloydminster Bobcats during the 2011-12 season. Her record was 2-2-1.

It’s October! Which means all of the cobwebs and dust at my house just became Halloween decorations! I always carry a pebble with me to throw at people who sing Christmas carols in October. I call it my jingle bell rock. When bald people wash their faces, how high up do they go? I don’t normally like to brag about expensive trips, but I just got back from the gas station! You know you’re a bad driver when SIRI says, “In 400 feet, stop and let me out.” You know how they throw the ball into the crowd after they win the game? That’s not allowed in bowling. I know that now. Every morning, I announce to my family that I’m going jogging, but then I don’t go. It’s a running joke. Murray Green, Camrose Booster Battle River Community Foundation director Leon Lohner looks on as Peggy Rhine Shuman and Steve Shuman present the cheque to Shane Gau, principal at ÉCCHS. Submitted
The Battle River Community Foundation awarded $450 to École Camrose Composite High School for the Rhine Family Award for Cosmetology. The grant is from income from the Rhine Family Fund, originally established by Marg Rhine. 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.

Central Agencies Home of the Week
Beautifully detailed home
When someone asks if they can fax me something … Fax? Why don’t you just send it over on a dinosaur! I just saw on the news that they’re suggesting that people check on the elderly. I’m usually up by 6:00 or 6:30. Bring donuts. My kid just told me I’m the Meanest Mom in the World and I’m freaking out! I don’t even have a speech prepared. Hydration Tip: Drinking one gallon of water a day helps you avoid other people’s drama, because you’re too busy heading to the bathroom. Stay hydrated, friends! Scientists say the universe is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. They forgot to mention morons! Some days, the best thing about my job is that the chair spins. I accidentally rubbed ketchup in my eyes. I now have Heinzsight. Why didn’t the dog come when he was called? Because he had collar ID. Being a parent is like jumping out of a plane with a bunch of people who don’t know how to open their own chutes. So, you fly around doing it for them. Then you hit the ground, but you don’t die. You get up and cook dinner. I hate it when I’m singing along to a song on the radio and the artist gets the words wrong. Told my wife I wanted to be cremated. She made me an appointment for Thursday.

This morning, I accidentally changed my GPS’s voice to “Male”. Now it just says, “It’s around here somewhere. Keep driving.” How many ears does Davy Crockett have? Three – his left ear, his right ear and the wild front ear.
Life as an Albertan • “Vacation” means going to Calgary for the weekend. • You measure distance in hours. • You often switch from Heat to A/C in the same day. • You know several people who have hit deer with their vehicle more than once. • You have used a down comforter in the summer. • Your elderly grandma drives at 100 km/hour through four metres of snow during a blizzard without flinching. • You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows how to use them. • You design your kid’s Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit. • Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled. • You know both seasons: winter and construction. • You are bundled up in three sweaters, a parka, ski pants, a toque, two pairs of mittens, boots past your knees, in three feet of snow in a -35 (-80 with the windchill) blizzard, your eyelashes are frozen together, your nose is running, you can’t feel your toes, and you still stop at the gas station for a slurpee on the way home.
