Louis Dyck has become Mr. Halloween for this community. This year, as usual, he started early on his ghoulish, ghastly, front yard decorating project. Some 45 hours later, with many new metres of hidden fishing line, electrical cords and, of course, symbolic features and creatures of fall’s favourite day on the calendar, the home at 4301-65 Street is ready for a long stare or a bone-chilling scare. Meanwhile, Rebecca has been busy indoors for days, preparing for the inevitable stampede of up to 500 costumed guests on October 31. Each child will once again take home a treat bag courtesy of this devoted Halloween couple. They now eagerly await the darkness of Sunday. Stop by the most popular spot on the Camrose Halloween tour … that is, if you dare!

Woods turns 100 with family, friends, drive-by Messy in the middle
Once when I was in my 50s, I asked a friend, “If a crisis lasts for a couple of years, is it still a crisis?” She laughed and said, “Right! My mid-life crisis went chronic.” After more than a year and a half of global turbulence–plus whatever else might be going on in our personal lives–these “unprecedented” circumstances feel chronic. I’ve started reading Rising Strong by Brené Brown. It’s based on her research about why some people grow from their setbacks while others get stuck. As I began dipping into the book, I found myself thinking about the life of a butterfly–a metaphor for transformation. An egg hatches into a caterpillar that eats everything in sight. Then it spins itself a cocoon. Some time later, it breaks out of the cocoon as a butterfly. Nice. ***
Until a few years ago, I assumed the caterpillar nodded off to sleep and magically woke up as a butterfly. Then I heard a scientist describe what goes on inside that peaceful-looking cocoon. From the outside, it looks like nothing is happening. But inside? It’s violent! Gruesome! Not suitable for children! Maybe you already know this, but I didn’t. Within the caterpillar are a few cells called “imaginal” cells. (That name tickles me.) When the first imaginal cells show up, the caterpillar’s immune system perceives them as enemies and kills them off. But the imaginal cells keep coming. Eventually, there are so many imaginal cells that the immune cells can’t kill them fast enough. The imaginal cells take over the caterpillar’s body. There is a stage during this process that the (former) caterpillar is basically liquid goo. Thinking back to times of major challenge in my life, I remember that stage! After you know something is ending or changing but you have no idea what’s emerging, there’s an in-between stage. You don’t know who you are any more. You might be consumed with self-doubt, confusion or terror. No, you’re not crazy–though it might feel like it. Back to the cocoon. Within that goo, the imaginal cells begin to take shape as a body and wings. Eventually, the butterfly cannot be contained by the cocoon. The cocoon has served its purpose and the butterfly breaks out–maybe still with damp wings, but able to fly. It does not look like the result of a violent transformation, but it is.
By Murray Green
Bob Woods turned 100 years old and celebrated the milestone with family, friends, and a driveby salute at Bethany Meadows. He turned 100 on October 15, but waited until the next day to not only celebrate his longevity, but reflect on the past century. “It is a good accomplishment, a milestone. One of the most important things over the years is our method of communication,” said Bob, referring to going to the neighbours with a horse and buggy to hear the news, as opposed to reaching for a cell phone. Vehicles also made it easier to get around. “I learned how to drive in a 1928 Pontiac. My dad purchased it new and I wanted to drive it. When I was 13, he let me drive it on the road. We had a variety of cars over the years,” he shared. He enjoyed many years on the farm. “After I graduated from high school in 1940 (New Salem School, south of Camrose), that fall and winter, I spent a term at the Olds Agricultural College. I knew a lot about agricultural, so it was more or less a winter holiday for me,” he joked. “It was time well spent. I stayed with a bunch of guys in the dormitory and that was an education.” Laura Berg was a teacher at New Salem when she met Bob and romance blossomed. They were mar-
ried on July 27, 1947 at Camrose United Church, and started farming with Bob’s parents on the farm south of Camrose. He welcomed some modern changes to farming. “When I started with my dad, we were working with horses. It was in the 1940s when we got the first tractor. My dad had the idea he could run a small tractor and keep the horses. It wasn’t very long before the tractor was doing everything,” shared Bob. “It saved harnessing up the horses in the morning and unhooking everything at night. All we had to do is run the tractor into the shed and that was it.” He also mentioned the herbicide sprays that made it possible for higher yields. “Before sprays, we hoped for the best. Then, with the sprays, we had less weeds and better crops,” Bob added. “One of the other things was how we treated the soil. In days gone by, we didn’t have a lot of black dirt after the dirty ’30s because there was no cover crop. There was nothing to stop the soil from drifting away. We had some terrible soil bases in the 1930s. Then we changed our method of farming to leave some trash (plant stocks) on the field and that helped quite a lot,” said Bob. He started life in southern Alberta. “After we had those dry years and depression, my dad thought the country was done for.
That is when we relocated to the Camrose area in 1935. I was born in a town called Sibbald.” Sibbald is a hamlet in southern Alberta, within Special Area No. 3. It is located on Highway 9, approximately 10 kilometres west of the provincial border with Saskatchewan and 154 kilometres northeast of Medicine Hat. “I wasn’t happy to move at the time, but I sure am now. I soon realized things were better here. The government took it over and called it a special area. My dad’s brother started farming here (near Camrose) and my cousins are farming the land now (where he lived).” He retired from farming in 1987 and moved into Camrose. Laura and Bob had three daughters, Evelyn, Loretta and Adele. Bob survived some health issues several years ago. “I am very thankful that I feel as well as I do. When I was in my 80s, I probably should have been gone. I had low blood pressure and when I got one of those spells, I could have been gone. It didn’t happen, and I feel a lot better now then I did back then.” Bob always took time away from his busy schedule to attend church and help others. He could be found at the Camrose United Church on Sundays and helped in ways that he could.
***
Brené Brown’s book gives examples of how the middle of a creative process is the hardest and messiest part. That’s when the toughest challenges show up, the unanticipated barriers, the strongest emotions. The middle of a big change is like the cocoon stage. What may not be visible from the outside is the tumultuous turbulence inside. Brené Brown’s advice? Dive deep. She says the more you are prepared to experience fully what is happening, the more you are likely to discover wisdom and opportunities. I’m being simplistic here–partly because I haven’t finished reading the book–but the pattern fits my experience and maybe yours too. ***
Two other thoughts about the butterfly metaphor and turbulent times. First, perhaps it is almost inevitable that, even when our rational minds know that some changes are unstoppable and might even be good for us, other parts of us try to stop the change. Perhaps those resistant parts of us accurately see this as a life-and-death struggle. (The caterpillar will be no more.) Second, when an egg first hatches into a caterpillar, everything it requires to become a butterfly already lives within it. Though some stages (like the eat-everythingin-sight stage) aren’t attractive and might even be disapproved of (gluttony!), all stages are essential to the caterpillar’s destiny as a butterfly. On occasions when I’m feeling somewhat like caterpillar goo, I find these thoughts comforting. As we all continue with “unprecedented” times, I hope they do something positive for you too! ***

Senior Chat November is Family Violence Awareness Month in Alberta By Camrose Seniors
Coalition November is Family Violence Awareness Month in Alberta. During November, the Camrose Seniors Coalition is here to increase awareness of the resources and supports that are available to our community. By working together, we can help build healthier relationships in our community. Family violence is considered to be any form of abuse, mistreatment or neglect that a child or adult experiences from a family member, or from someone with whom they have an intimate relationship. Family violence encompasses elder abuse, which can happen if you are over the age of 60, and are abused, neglected or financially exploited. Elder abuse can happen in a nursing home or an assisted living facility, as well as at home. Mis-
treatment can be done at the hands of family members, healthcare providers, caregivers or friends. Abuse can happen to any older adult, but people who depend on others to help with the activities of daily life are especially at risk. Those who are impacted by dementia, have memory or mobility issues, and are frail fall in this category. We have heard stories from friends about being pressured by their children to change their power of attorney despite having second thoughts, but doing it anyhow. They love their children and want to maintain a relationship with them, but it can be at the cost of their financial and mental well-being. Family relationships can be difficult at the best of times, but without healthy boundaries and clear communication, abuse can easily happen.
We have heard stories from healthcare workers who see caregivers, friends or family members making decisions for the older adult. They do not allow input or discussion, and their health care is impacted. When an older adult requires care, they rely on caregivers to support them and keep them safe. There are many signs of abuse that you can look for, including the following: • Unkempt appearance, showing signs of neglect • Withdrawal from activities they find enjoyable • Unexplained bruises, cuts or scars • Empty fridge and cupboards, with no money for more food • Unpaid bills, eviction notices, services being cut off
If someone you know might be being abused, talk to them when you are alone. You can tell them you are concerned and think something is wrong. You can offer to take them to meet the new Changing Ways case manager, Kari Cameron. This is a new position, and she is one of 16 case managers across the province. These positions are funded through the Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council (AEAAC), and Kari works locally through Changing Ways (formerly the Family Violence Action Society: Camrose and District). Kari will provide coordinated intake and community engagement sessions. Kari will respond to complaints or concerns of elder abuse, contact suspected victims, arrange a home or office visit and assess risk. She will also make a safety plan, assist
in determining needs and set goals, as well as follow up with clients to ensure continued safety. Services are free and are available to residents of the City and County of Camrose. The main office is housed with Service Options for Seniors at the Mirror Lake Centre, and you can reach her at 780-679-7757. If you or someone you know is experiencing elder abuse and would like some information and help, please reach out. If you are in immediate danger, call 977 or 310-1818. For more information about the Seniors Coalition or other services for seniors, contact CDSS at 780-672-0141 or online at camrosefcss.ca, or Service Options for Seniors at 780-672-4131 or online at soscamrose.com.

Therapeutic fitness building strength By Lori Larsen
The City of Camrose Recreation and Culture department is doing its part in keeping residents active and moving, with offerings of a variety of health and wellness programs. One of the programs offered by the City is the Therapeutic Functional Fitness classes held Tuesday and Thursday from 9 until 10 a.m. at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre. The classes are open to everyone and involve a mode of exercise designed to follow biomechanical, physiological and functional principles of the human movement system. “Therapeutic Functional Fitness was created following the guidelines of the corrective exercise training and certification program offered by the National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM), an American fitness training provider headquartered in Arizona, US,” explained certified Therapeutic Functional Fitness class instructor Janet Greer. “It is often referred to as a ‘pain-free’ program and is an easy-to-follow exercise program that will help improve muscle imbalances, muscle tightness and muscle weakness to decrease joint stress and pain and to improve physical movement and function.” According to Greer, research suggests that musculoskeletal pain, such as neck, shoulder, back, hip and knee pain, is more common now than ever before. “This can largely be attributed to the sedentary lifestyle and occupations of today. Decreased physical activity and the changes in functional movement can lead to physical dysfunction, pain and ultimately injury.” Greer said she took the training and certification so she could offer the program and assist others in dealing with pain and improve mobility. “I personally was experiencing pain and physical dysfunction for injury I sustained in a series of accidents. I was not getting the recovery I needed from the normal forms of treatment available, and I started looking for alternative forms of treatment.” Class participant Catherine Doubort has been attending the classes and is happy to be reaping the benefits. “This class has been one of the most beneficial that I have ever taken. Janet is very patient, and attention is given to each one of us when we need it. The way she shares her
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Class participant Catherine Doubort gets down to the nitty gritty of wellness.
expertise and knowledge about our bodies’ muscles in order to enable us to overcome the improper way we unconsciously move has given me a new appreciation for how improving my posture, gait and strength has helped me feel great. “At my age, I feel like I am heading off problems that may become harder to deal with later,” noted Catherine. When first dealing with her own pain, Greer discovered a clinic in San Diego, California and ended up travelling there for treatment. “While there, I started to experience relief from pain and an increase in my physical function. I was intrigued and wanted to know more. That’s when I learned about corrective exercise and NASM. I sought the training and certification for myself in hopes of continued improvement for myself and the thought of sharing it with others.” A visit to the exercise class was all that was needed to see the positive results the training, and Greer, are having on the participants. There was an eager joy to get into position and do the exercises responsible for relieving pain and improving quality of life. Class participant Janet Enns said that, after her first class of Functional Therapeutic Fitness, she thought to herself, “I am almost sixty and I am learning how to walk. I was shocked. I soon discovered I stepped with my weight on the transverse arches (balls) of my feet, not on my heels. It started to make sense why my socks wore out there instead of the heels.” Enns said that it took time to rewire her brain/ nerve pathways to learn to use her core muscles to initiate movement. “I had been initiating movement in my extremities first. I had no idea.” Greer said that while applying the training for
herself and then others, she began to notice the impact increased sitting at work, school, home and driving can place on the spine and less than ideal alignment, resulting in pain and dysfunction. “A few years ago, I started working on a device which would help alleviate this problem,” explained Greer. “The project received grant funding through Alberta Innovates and a prototype is currently being engineered at Red Deer Polytechnic and will be available soon for research and trial.” Greer’s passion for helping others discover a path to relatively pain-free and more independent living is plain to see in the way she treats each participant individually and with such care. Enns said that six months of participating in the class has not only helped her continue to enjoy kayaking, but has enabled her to be more self sufficient during the sport. “I always had trouble

getting out and required someone to stabilize my kayak in order to do so without tipping. On the first trek of the season, our group was kayaking on Meeting Creek, and soon discovered we needed to get out of kayaks to get around
some fencing that went across the creek. When I went to get out of my kayak, I had no problem doing so on my own.” The class is not geared towards any particular physical movement or any particular age. Enns recalls discussing her three-yearold granddaughter’s, what was assumed to be “double-jointed” condition, with Greer, who provided Enns with a few simple exercises to do with her granddaughter to help her use her muscles properly. “I think children would benefit from having functional fitness as a part of their schooling, especially in the primary years, so they devel-
op proper movement habits during their developmental years and not develop those elder aches and pains. A lot of money could be saved without having to do a lot of those hip and knee replacements.” For more information on programs and initiatives offered by the City, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca/ en/recreation-and-leisure/ pr o g r am s - an d- c our s e s . aspx or contact Christine McCord, Recreation Program Coordinator, at 780-672-9949.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster It was only fitting that Camrose Crush captain Tylor Keller netted the first goal on home ice. By Murray Green
The Camrose Crush senior men’s hockey team scored first, but the celebration was short lived as the Lacombe Generals won 4-1 at the Max McLean Arena in the North Central Hockey League on October 16. Captain Tylor Keller scored the first goal at home for the Crush a minute into the contest after a feed from RJ Reed. Colin Zimmer of the Generals tied the contest four minutes later, and then Lacombe took control of the game. Crush goalie Devin

cial health and developmental concerns. In 2020, CAFCL was able to adapt the Camp to allow for COVID-19 protocols in both the historic program and in a new format, in which the Camp went to participants instead of participants coming to camp. This grant, along with an additional $30,000 grant from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund facilitated by the Battle River Community Foundation and Community Foundations of Canada, allowed the CAFCL to develop a program that will be the model for future expanded Kandu Camp programs. 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

It’s time to get back to work By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot
I am eager to return to the essential work that is done in Parliament for the people of Battle RiverCrowfoot. Unfortunately, Members of Parliament must wait till November 22 because of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s delay tactics. While delay tactics, corruption, and his disdain for taking responsibility for his actions are nothing new for Trudeau, this past summer’s election call shows that unless Canadians give him what he wants, dissenting voices are not welcome. His refusal to recall Parliament shows the contempt he has for democracy and those who don’t blindly follow his agenda. These delay tactics also accomplish something not widely reported; they delay the constituting of Parliamentary committees, likely until the new year. For those who follow House of Commons proceedings closely, they will know that it is in committees where much of the work of Parliament gets done. This is also where the Official Opposition is able to most effectively hold the Liberal government to account. This includes holding the government accountable for their conduct, studying important issues, and ensuring that all legislation is carefully reviewed. In the last Parliament, I saw how important committees were through my work on both the Ethics and Public Safety Committees. The basis of Prime Minister Trudeau’s summer election call was a so-called parliamentary roadblock. However, up until the election, the Liberals had not lost a confidence vote, had continued Bloc and NDP support, on top of the fact that the government controls the legislative agenda. The lies and manipulation don’t appear to be stopping, as Canadians ultimately are having their voices silenced. And proof that Canadians didn’t want an election was the close to identical makeup of Parliament and a near-record low voter turnout. It is the height of hypocrisy that urgency was claimed during the election and now Trudeau is delaying the return of Canada’s Parliament. We are seeing firsthand that Canadians are faced with a pervasive threat of rapid inflation; due to the unhindered printing of money, coupled with the government’s overspending … unfortunately, our economy is stumbling, and industries like agriculture and energy are last on the list of priorities, even though these industries helped build Canada. Trudeau’s attitude is indicative of his priorities. In the midst of a pandemic and with economic turmoil brewing, the Prime Minister is missing in action. I am fighting for you, and know that whether Parliament is back in session or not, Canada’s Conservatives and I will do everything we can to hold Trudeau and the Liberals to account for their fiscal recklessness, the absurd decision of calling an election during a pandemic, poor judgement, and their outright corruption.

Augustana features Indigenous series By Lori Larsen
In an effort to broaden understanding and share a variety of perspectives from Indigenous people, culture and traditions in Canada, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Life, the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre and Cargill have partnered to offer an Indigenous Speaker Series. “ T he Indigenous Speaker Series is essential to provide opportunities for our community’s ongoing work toward truth and reconciliation,” said Augustana’s Indig-
enous Engagement Advisory Committee chair professor Greg King. “Members of our committee and others across campus (I’d like to especially highlight Trina Harrison) have made an effort to make this series a reality despite the challenges we continue to face with COVID-19 and university budget cuts.” The events will provide opportunities for participants to engage with speakers, films, music and art performances. “I believe, as a public institution, we should be providing leadership on
this issue and encouraging community members in Camrose and beyond to participate alongside the campus community to listen, consider, and learn from our speakers,” commented King. “The series this year is balanced in terms of highlighting important issues, such as the discovery of missing children at Indian Residential Schools, but also highlighting the exceptional artistic talent and lived experience across regional and national Indigenous communities. I encourage all Camrose residents to attend.”
The series begins on October 27 at 6 p.m., with a presentation by University of Alberta professor Frank Tough speaking on the Mercantile Fur Trade.

MUSLIMS AND MULTICULTURALISM IN CANADA | OCT. 28 | 6 P.M. Join us [online] for this roundtable discussion in light of the 50th anniversary of Canada’s adoption of multiculturalism with Canadian Muslim scholars and activists.
Professor Tough began his post-secondary education at the University of Winnipeg. He acquired a foundation in the historical geography of the fur trade at York University, which supported a transition to teaching Métis history and later applied to research in support of Section 35 Métis rights. “This fast-paced, factbased, illustrated lecture will show that the fur trade was Canada’s first national industry and that Indigenous peoples were crucial to its growth and success,” explained Tough, of the October 27 presentation. “Indigenous participation in the fur trade was crucial for the unique achievements of the Hudson’s Bay Company. Some of the enduring imprints that the fur trade left on Canadian society will be revealed.” The series events are free to the public.

DOUBLE FEATURE Wednesday, November 10 FREE ADMISSION THIS IS THE WAR STORY WE ALL THINK WE KNOW … BUT DON’T. On the night of March 24, 1944, eighty Commonwealth airmen crawled through a 336-foot long tunnel and slipped into the darkness of a pine forest beyond the wire of Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner-of-war compound near Sagan, Poland. The event became known as The Great Escape.
FIRST FEATURE: 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Ted Barris, acclaimed Canadian historian, returns to Camrose to tell the true story of the Great Escape. The breakout was, in many ways, a “Made in Canada” escape. A significant number of the principal planners, task leaders and key players as well as some of those who got away that night were Canadian airmen. Ted’s story is more riveting than the Hollywood movie, and it is all true!
INTERMISSION: 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. A chance to meet and mingle with others of like interests. Hospitality service available. Mr. Barris has a supply of his book The Great Escape: The Untold Story, TED BARRIS which he will be happy to autograph for you or some lucky person on your Christmas list. The Spotlight Bistro is offering a special boxed lunch for $15, including a bottle of water, to those who wish to grab a bite to eat before the movie. Go online to www.baileytheatre.com to book your free tickets for the evening and to preorder and pay for your boxed lunch.
SECOND FEATURE: 7:00 to 9:45 p.m. The Great Escape is a full-length feature movie, with Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough and Charles Bronson. This is one of the all-time great war movies, a POW adventure from Director John Sturges, that celebrates the indomitable spirit of the allied forces, even when their backs were to the wall. Guests are welcome to come and stay for the entire evening or just attend the Barris presentation or the movie. Either way, Free Admission has been made possible by Camrose Booster Ltd. However, for planning purposes, you must book your tickets in advance at www.baileytheatre.com or pick them up at the box office until the day of the event as long as tickets last. Boxed Lunches at $15 must be ordered and paid for online by Monday, November 8. THE BAILEY THEATRE

That was definitely a trick
Most people probably list Christmas as their top holiday, but I have to admit that Halloween is right up there as a favourite for me. Spooky treats, pumpkin carving, decorating the house, dressing up and the rush of going door to door collecting candy, without the stress of buying the right gift or making a big meal. I have a major sweet tooth, so I am usually all about the treat part of “trick-or-treat” for Halloween. However, a couple of tricks from over the years have definitely stood out. We have only handed out candy for one year. In our pre-kid era, we lived in Okotoks in a condo building with a shared entrance, so there were no ghouls coming to our door. Then we bought a house in which we only lived for a year before we sold it to travel. When we returned to Canada, we built a home in the country and now head to town for Halloween festivities. Which means that we only had that one year to hand out candy. My husband had heard of a Halloween trick from a brother-in-law that he wanted to try. So, along with candy, we also purchased a dozen 2L pop bottles in various flavours. We dressed up because I always loved it as a kid, when the adults handing out candy were dressed up, too. We peeked out the window at kids coming up the sidewalk to assess which kids were old enough and strong enough to handle the trick. Then we would plop the pop bottles into their bags. Even though chip bags were crunching, they were so appreciative and surprised to get something so big. We could hear them making exchanges as they walked to the next house. Then, a few doors down, we heard them ask their parents if they would carry their bags for them. Oh, how we laughed. A few years ago, we made sugar cookies with my parents a few days before Halloween, an annual tradition. I had forgotten to give my mom any to take home, so I loaded them into a container with a lid that didn’t always snap, then into the van on the night of trick or treating. After picking my parents up, we proceeded to our closest neighbour’s home. We were surprised to see that our outdoor dog Sabi had followed us there, but I guess she didn’t want to miss out on the fun. We loaded her into the trunk and drove her home. Later that night, tired and full of candy, we returned home and took all of the bags out of the trunk. Only then did I notice the container that had once contained Halloween cookies now contained… crumbs. Well played, Sabi, well played. Definitely a great Halloween trick. These days, the trick seems to be on me when my kids want to make a costume. My son wants to dress as his character from a math game he plays at school. We found an old costume of mine to reconfigure, bought blue and white foam sheets, and armed with a hot glue gun. Hopefully, we will be able to make this happen. We suggested a few other ideas instead of something that required so much work and, well, hot glue gunning, but he persisted. I wondered if my parents tried to draw my attention to something else when I presented difficult costume ideas, or if they stood aside and just let me be me. I am choosing to stand aside. I did, after all, get to dress as a Jem doll (similar to a Barbie doll, but more appropriately proportioned) for many years in a row as a kid. I was a witch when I wanted to be a witch. I was a ghost when I wanted to be a ghost. Then I made the costume into a tie-dyed ghost for the next year. I like to see where their imaginations will take them. When my youngest was two, he had a stellar Halloween trick. He was dressed as a moose and couldn’t quite say trick-or-treat so he said “Nicker treat!” Then, after his siblings had left the doorway, he stood looking up at the person, I guess not knowing what to do next. They invariably said something like, “Well, you are a very cute little moose” and would then give him more candy! How fun that adults decide, just for one night a year, to cast aside our advice not to accept candy from strangers, and instead have our children go out asking strangers for candy. Happy Halloween!

New City council shares thoughts By Lori Larsen
On October 22, the official announcement was made and the City of Camrose’s new mayor and council will be sworn in on October 26 during the Council Organizational Meeting. The incoming mayorelect and council-elect shared thoughts on the upcoming term. Taking centre stage at the council table will be Mayor-elect PJ Stasko. Stasko will be entering his third term on City council as mayor and is excited to be able to continue representing the citizens of Camrose.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Mayor-elect PJ Stasko
“It is a very exciting time to be part of a relatively brand new council coming in,” said Stasko, who admitted he has a bit of trepidation. “It is going to be interesting to see the different personalities on council and how they relate with administration and each other.” Stasko said that one of the things he realized during the election campaigning was that the candidates who ran, in his opinion, appeared to be doing so for the right reason. “They did it to serve the City for Camrose. “I think council is in solid shape and on a firm base because of some of the work that previous councils have done,” added Stasko. “Administration is strong and will lead the new council through the process.” Stasko wholeheartedly commended the service of the outgoing council and specifically Mayor Norm Mayer. “I would never even attempt to fill his shoes,” smiled Stasko, adding that he will be giving it his best. Councillor-elect Don Rosland said there will be a steep learning curve over the next few months. “As decision-makers for
Camrose, council gathers information and makes an informed decision for what is best for the residents of Camrose. Some of these council decisions are going to be very difficult. “On the new council, we have the experience of the incumbents, along with perspectives from the new members of council to move Camrose forward.” Incumbent Agnes Hoveland is returning for her third term on council. “I look forward to working with this new council in continuing to build a community where all can thrive.” Incumbent Kevin Hycha will be returning to Council Chambers for his third term as councillor. “It is truly a honour and a privilege to be reelected for a third term as councillor,” said Hycha. “I look forward to working with the new mayor (PJ), six new councillors and incumbent Agnes Hoveland.” Hycha noted that during his campaign run, he recognized and heard that council still needs to do a few things better. “I’m eager to start the process to make this great City even better and affordable for all.” Councillor-elect Lucas Banack was humbled by the support he received during this election. “I look forward to serving on council for the next four years, helping to make Camrose an even better community than it is already.” Councillor-elect Lana Broker was very excited to be elected to council. “Congratulations to all the newly elected and reelected candidates and to PJ Stasko, our new mayor. “I am ready to get to work for all our citizens
and to work with the new council to build on the work of past councils and to find new and innovative opportunities for our amazing City.” Councillor-elect David Francouer said he is looking forward to working with a fresh council team, with new ideas and a new approach. “I am also happy we have the benefit of two core councillors, who can assist us with their knowledge and experience. I believe we are a council that represents all Camrosians, and I expect good constructive debate and discussion as this new and able council moves forward with City business.” Councillor-elect DJ Ilg said he is proud to represent the people of Camrose on City council over the next four years. “I love this community and will work hard to see us grow and flourish. I will give it my all to prove to you that you made the right decision electing me.” Councillor-elect JoyAnne Murphy said she is pleased and excited to begin working on Camrose City council and is looking forward to the many facets of council. “I anticipate collaborating with my fellow councillors and new mayor, learning the ropes from our excellent staff and administration, hearing from citizens what their priorities are, and rolling up my sleeves and really digging into the work of governance at its best.” She also looks forward to using local, regional and other partnerships and relationships to the betterment of Camrose and the citizens.

Fall Auto Prep Guide Jaguar SS100 built from the ground up By Murray Green
Gordon Schmidt owns a 1939 Jaguar Duke SS100 custom roadster car that was built from a kit, and is known as a replicar. “This car was produced in 1992 by Classic Roadsters, which had it’s main plant in Fargo, North Dakota, and also had a facility near Toronto, Ontario. Although a lot of the kit cars were mounted on VW chassis, these cars were built with a custombuilt tubular frame, fitted with the running gear from the Mustang 1, which included a V6 engine, automatic transmission and rack and pinion steering. They referred to them as replicars rather than kit cars,” explained Gordon. “It is a pretty decent car. It has a fabricated frame, with a Mustang II powertrain and a V6 engine. It was ordered as a kit, but I bought it already completed about eight or nine years ago. I was down at the Barrett Jackson Auction and they had a few there. They sell pretty reasonably compared to the vintage original car,” shared Gordon. “I thought that I wanted one of those cars, so I built it. A lot of the cars are on the Volkswagen chassis and I wasn’t interested in that as much. I like the Mustang features better. This looks like a real

car and it was very well done,” said Gordon. “Most replicars are built with an existing chassis, and I wanted the custom-built frame. It has good components and it is a pretty
FUN FACTS
The SS Jaguar 100 was a British two-seat sports car built between 1936 and 1939 by SS Cars of Coventry, England. If you were driving through town in this 1939 Jaguar, very few people would even know that it is not the original car. The first manufacturer of automobiles and kit cars was from 1979 Classic Roadsters from Fargo, North Dakota. As of February 17, 1992, there was an office in Miami in Florida. This was followed by Performance Classics, also from Miami. There is an indication that this was in 1993. Between 2003 and 2008, Classic Roadsters II of Sauk Center, Minnesota was the manufacturer of the Jaguars. This company was founded on July 16, 2003 by Don Scott and was dissolved on January 7, 2009. In 1982, they followed with the Duke, a replica of the Jaguar SS100. The engine was either from Ford or General Motors. It had a tubular frame and an optional a V6 engine. The original was widely considered as one of the most aesthetically pleasing sporting cars of the 1930s. The SS100 is also very rare, with only 198 two-and-ahalf litre and 116 three-and-a-half litre models made. While most stayed in England, 49 were exported.
good driving car. I really like the look of this car. It attracts attention just because it is so unique. Not very people have a car like this. The people I travel with to go to car shows have real cars that have $150,000 or $200,000 invested in them, and yet people will walk down a row of cars and stop in front of this one,” noted Gordon. “It is a nothing car as far as original, but it really attracts the attention of people. It is almost like riding a motorcycle. The car is so open and you are close to the road. You get that hot rod feeling when you drive it down the road,” revealed Gordon. “I think that this car, being built in Canada, makes it quite unique. The parent company was in the United States, but fewer were built in Canada. The companies are gone now, but I talked to the guy who has the original molds. He is in northern Ontario. He has all of the molds and I
don’t have the hardtop to this car. He invited me to go down to his place and make a hardtop with his mold. I would like to do it, but I’m not sure when. When I talked to him a few years ago, he was 78 years
old then. I don’t know how much longer he will have the molds. He told me he does 200 sit ups a day, so it sounded like he was going to be around for a while,” laughed Gordon.

With the groundwork done and the installation contractor and Fortis completing their final work on the new traffic signal device located at the intersection of Marler Drive and 68 Street, the lights will soon be fully operable. “Once the new lights are activated, the contractor will remove the old signals and posts, followed by the City completing some concrete repairs at that location,” said City of Cam-
rose Engineering Services manager Jeremy Enarson, adding that the lights should be functioning as a full traffic control light later this week. Signs are posted along 68 Street and Marler Drive, warning motorists of the new traffic control system at the intersection. However, the City advises using extra caution at this intersection, anticipating it will take some time for motorists to become familiar with the new light.

First poppy presentation to the Governor General By Murray Green
Dominion president Bruce Julian presented the symbolic first poppy to Governor General Mary May Simon at Rideau Hall on October 25. The Poppy Campaign launches on Friday, October 29, when poppies become available to all
Canadians from coast to coast to coast. In addition to the traditional poppy boxes, the Royal Canadian Legion will also have a Pay Tribute tap and pay box in 250 locations across Canada that will permit people to donate in a touchless or low-contact environment. Each year, over 20 mil-
lion poppies are distributed in communities across Canada. Officially adopted in Canada in 1921 by the Great War Veterans’ Association (the predecessor of today’s Royal Canadian Legion), poppies are recognized as the national symbol of remembrance for the 117,000 Canadian
men and women, who gave their lives during military service around the world. The funds raised each year during the National Poppy Campaign go back into programs and services for veterans and their families. For more information, visit www.legion.ca/poppy. In Camrose, Tag Day
will be on November 6, when Legion members will be offering poppies in a number of locations. A Remembrance Day Service will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre at 10:45 a.m. on November 11.

Mary Bridget Baska January 22, 1935 ~ October 18, 2021 Mary Bridget Baska of Camrose passed away peacefully on October 18, 2021, at the age of 86. Mary was born on January 22, 1935, the second of eight children, to her parents Margaret and Patrick Caulfield in Ballinasloe, Galway, Ireland. Mary spent her young life working at Dubarry Shoe Factory. She studied and learned shorthand and how to type, skills she used for writing letters to friends and family over the years. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and going to the local cinema. After her father passed away, she helped support her mother and family. Her parents were devoutly Catholic, which developed her deep and lasting faith and devotion to the Rosary and the Mass. Mary’s trusting faith in God’s Providence played a significant role throughout her life. She met a Canadian man, Charlie Baska, and they were married in Ireland on August 5, 1970. Although she was sad to leave her family and friends, Mary lovingly joined her new husband in Alberta and settled on his family’s farm, where their sons Patrick and Kevin were born. The family moved to Provost, then to Camrose in 1985, where she since called home. They were blessed to have celebrated 50 years of marriage last year, but sadly Charlie passed away this January and she missed him dearly. Mary spent her life as a homemaker and was devoted in service to others. She was active in her Catholic parish as a CWL member, volunteer in various ministries, and a minister of Holy Communion to the sick and homebound. Mary was a strong woman of faith and prayed the Rosary daily. Many family, friends and even strangers found comfort in her assurance, “I will pray for you.” She shared her knowledge and enthusiasm for her Catholic faith with all those around her. Many would also be treated to her letters, notes, goodies and fresh homemade buns she made weekly. Mary was grateful for all the blessings in her life. She was an inspiration and will be greatly missed. Left to cherish her memory are her son Rev. Father Patrick Baska of St. Theresa Parish, Edmonton; son Kevin (Callista) Baska; granddaughters Cassandra, Katelynn and Katrina Baska; sisters Teresa (Tony) Dolan, and Betty (Benny) Connolly; brothers Noel (Mary) Caulfield and Jimmy (Nula) Caulfield; sister-in-law Bridget Caulfield; many nieces, nephews, and cousins; and extended family and friends. Mary is predeceased by her husband Charlie Baska; her parents Margaret and Patrick Caulfield; brothers John Caulfield, Paddy Caulfield and Tommy Caulfield; and sister-in-law Kathleen Caulfield. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at St. Mary’s Hospital for their kindness and care. A private funeral Mass of the Resurrection was held at St. Francis Xavier Parish on Monday, October 25, 2021, at 12:00 noon; the recording will be available on the St. Francis website. The Rite of Committal and interment has taken place at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, family and friends are welcome to make a memorial donation to St. Joseph’s Seminary or St. Francis Xavier Catholic Parish Building Fund.

Bonita “Bonnie” Ann Sieben April 26, 1967 ~ October 17, 2021 Bonita Ann (Bonnie) was the firstborn of Phyllis and Ted Sieben on April 26, 1967. Primarily, Bonnie received most of her basic education in Camrose, both elementary and high school. After high school, she completed a beautician certification. After five years of hair styling, she switched careers and became a social worker and worked in corrections, then completed her employment life with Canadian Mental Health. Bonnie’s main focus in life became her nieces and nephews. There was always a lot of noise, laughter, TikTok, cuddling, crafting, picture taking and generally just lots of fun. Just spending time with them was the greatest gift to her. One of Bonnie’s favourite chores was picking Alexis and Avery and their friends up from school when able. She loved wiener roasts, crafts, spending time with her friends and popping over to her mother’s house to check out “what’s cooking”! Friends and family all know that one of Bonnie’s most outstanding traits was being meticulous. Her cleanliness and obsession for a germ-free environment lent itself to pranks and laughter and, at times, frustration. As well, she was caring, compassionate and giving as much as her health allowed. Complications with major health problems from age 28 and onward became a big part of Bonnie’s life. She fought a courageous battle until Sunday, October 17, 2021 at age 54, at which time she passed away with her mother and sister by her side. Bonnie is survived by her mother Phyllis; stepfather Tony Beier; sister Tracey (Kelly) Smith, Alexis and Avery; stepsiblings Beth (Ed) Tomalty, Addison and Ally; Bonny (Ron) Beier, Dawson, Connor and Drake; and Kerwin. Bonnie was predeceased by her father Ted in 1978, and grandparents. A private family service was held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Bonnie’s memory may be made to the charity of one’s choice. 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.

Buffaloes football By Murray Green
The Camrose Buffaloes bantam team defeated their rival squad Wetaskiwin Wolverines 41-0 on October 17 at Kin Park. “It was a big day for us against the Wetaskiwin Warriors. There was great team effort from everyone, with the defence holding strong, and we held the Warriors to no points, with an interception for six points to add to the score,” said coach Troy Christie. “Our offence was unstoppable, led by Nick Lamontagne and Brady Berger, to find five more touchdowns to add to the score from Logen Christie, Ryan Skardal, Nate McDonald, Layne McNalley and Berger. The hard effort of both the boys and girls on the team has led them coming into their last regular season game undefeated all year.” The peewee squad had another shutout game on October 17 against the St. Albert Colts 58-0. “They are

undefeated heading into the final game weekend.” The atom teams wrapped up their season with great showings. Navy versus the Beaumont Bears ended up 3-3 and Red against the Edmonton Chargers was 7-2. “The atom season is kept shorter than the older groups and is really focused on skill development, learning the game,” said Christie. The atom players have been selected to play a minigame at halftime during the
Edmonton Elks and Hamilton Tiger-Cats game on Friday, October 29, which is the Salute to Minor Football Day. “This is such an amazing opportunity for these young players. Playing under the big lights at Commonwealth Stadium is sure to be a great time.” Both the peewee and bantams will be in a playoff game on the October 30 and 31 weekend, but the opposition and times are still unknown.

Kodiaks edge Oilers in Okotoks By Murray Green
Camrose Kodiaks edged the rival Okotoks Oilers 3-2 in a road contest to move up into second place in the Alberta Junior Hockey League south division standings on October 16. Michael Lovsin garnered both first period goals to give the Kodiaks a 2-0 lead. Then the Oilers fought back to tie the contest with two tallies in the middle frame. Graydon G otaas notched his first goal as a Kodiak early in the third to secure the victory for Camrose. Goalie Logan Willcott made 24 of 26 saves for Camrose, while the Kodiaks fired 29 shots at the Okotoks net. While that game was a defensive gem, the same couldn’t be said for the 7-6 shootout victory they had over the Spruce Grove Saints on October 15. After a Roc Truman marker for the Kodiaks in the opening minute and a half, Spruce Grove took over with three straight tallies. Then the rollercoaster ride switched directions and the Kodiaks netted four of the five goals in the middle frame to take over the lead once again. Callum Gau, Robert Kincaid, Ryan Sullivan and Blake Kondor supplied the offence with goals. The Saints fought back again to tie it and score the go-ahead goal in the third period before Griffen Fraser netted the equalizer to force overtime and, finally, a shootout. Sullivan and Kondor scored in the shootout to give the Kodiaks the extra point. Goalie Jackson Fellner turned away 29 of 35 shots for the Kodiaks. Camrose recorded 30 shots on goal. The next home games are against the Canmore Eagles on October 29, and a special Halloween matinee against the Canucks on October 31 at 2 p.m. The game against the National Women’s Team is on November 3 at 7 p.m. The Recreation Centre follows the Restrictions Exemption Program.

Special Olympics athletes hope to return to play soon By Lori Larsen
It has been a long and tiresome 19 months for so many, including Camrose’s Special Olympic athletes, who have waited patiently to get back into the sports they love, and out in the community advocating for the organization. According to Camrose Special Olympics Affiliate chair person Carol Wideman, the organization is hoping to return to play by January 2022. “For over 30 years, Special Olympics has been providing Camrose and area year-round topquality sports options for individuals of any age with an intellectual disability,” noted Wideman. “Athletes have weekly opportunities to stay active, interact with their peers and achieve contentment and success, while being a part of the Camrose community. Special Olympics in Camrose promotes participation, sportsmanship and fun, ensuring that cost is nev-
er a barrier for individuals to participate.” In an effort to ensure the utmost safety and health of not only the athletes, but volunteers, the Camrose Affiliate has postponed in-person activities and has been meeting virtually over the past 19 months. “Special Olympics Alberta has helped to navigate through this time with its PEAK (Provincial Exercise and Activity Knockout) Program,” explained Wideman. “PEAK is a virtual program that brings athletes together online to create fitness goals and attend virtual training sessions as a complement to their traditional, in-person programming. “Nutrition and mental health supports round out the complement of services and education provided through the PEAK Program.” Special Olympics also offers online social club chats and virtual dances for special occasions.
“Staying connected with athletes, volunteers and community is very important.” In an effort to assist Special Olympics Camrose Affiliate, participating Camrose Service Clubs have invited Special Olympics Camrose Affiliate to be part of the Camrose Chase The Ace fundraiser and awareness opportunity as one of the charitable organizations to benefit from funds raised by the initiative. “Special Olympics Alberta Camrose Affiliate will receive 20 per cent of ticket sales from this event to support facility rental fees for sports,” explained Wideman. “This will help our athletes relaunch successfully, ensuring that cost is not a barrier for individuals to participate.” To learn more about the great work of Special Olympics Alberta, Camrose Affiliate, visit https://www.Special O ly mpi c s . c a/a lb e r t a/ camrose or on Facebook.

Why is Halloween the best holiday? • You are not obligated to visit your relatives. • You are not obligated to get gifts for anyone. • People give you candy for absolutely no reason other than Halloween. • You get to pretend the five pounds of candy you’re buying is for trick-or-treaters. • No matter how many mini chocolate bars you eat, your earrings will still fit. • It’s the only day when it’s socially acceptable to go out in public dressed like a penguin. Do we even need Halloween anymore? I’ve been wearing a mask and eating candy for the last year and a half. Just figured out that ghosts are people who died trying to fold a fitted sheet. I love how in scary movies, the person yells out, “Hello?” As if the bad guy is going to be like, “Yeah, I’m in the kitchen, want a sandwich?” Two monsters went to a Halloween party. Suddenly one said to the other, “A lady just rolled her eyes at me. What should I do?” The other said, “Be a gentleman and roll them back to her.” I want to be something really scary for Halloween this year, so I’m dressing up as a cell phone battery at two percent. Every parent to their kid: “If I went through the hassle of dressing you up and hauling you around town to go trick-or-treating, then yes, I am taking 20 percent of your candy. It’s called a Parent Tax.” Candy Corn: The texture may be gross, but at least the flavour is terrible. Halloween is 365 days a year at my in-laws’ house. Why did the Vampire read The Camrose Booster? He heard it had great circulation. Dear Ghosts: If you can move stuff around and flicker lights, then there’s no reason why you can’t use a mop. My daughter wants to be really scary this Halloween, so instead of a costume, she is going to carry a school fundraising packet to every door. Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery. Right in the middle of the cemetery, they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones. “Wow, Mister,” one of them said after catching his breath, “You scared us half to death – we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?” “Those fools!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!” On October 31, when the clock strikes midnight, Halloween will end. Then BAM! Christmas carols everywhere!
Top 10 Signs You Are Too Old to Be Trick-or-Treating: 1. 2. 3. 4.
You get winded from knocking on the door. You have to have a kid chew the candy for you. You ask for high fibre candy only. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over. 5. People say, “Great mask!” and you’re not wearing a mask. 6. When the door opens you yell, “Trick or ...” and can’t remember the rest. 7. You have to carefully choose a costume that won’t dislodge your hairpiece. 8. You’re the only Super Hero in the neighbourhood with a walker. 9. You avoid going to houses where your ex-wives/ex-husbands live. 10. The clothes you used to wear in real life are now considered a Halloween costume.
