Pack a box, bless a child

Photo by Ron Pilger

Sisters Lily and Macie Andrukow, ages 6 and 7, take great pride in knowing a child somewhere in the world will be getting a Christmas gift thanks to their generosity and thoughtfulness.

Operation Christmas Child, the amazing shoebox program conducted by Samaritan’s Purse, is back in full swing in Camrose until National Collection Week, November 15 to 21.

This year, the goal is to pack and send more than 1,607 (last year’s total) unconditional gifts of Christian love from Camrose homes to children in desperate situations from around the world.

All gifts are welcomed, but history shows that demand is never met for boys in the 10 to 14 age group.

For full details, see the story on page 23 of this edition of The Booster.

Which brain is in charge?

So there I was, standing 280 metres above a glacial valley, with nothing but glass between me and the valley floor. I was trying hard to believe my rational brain.

My rational brain knew the engineering worked, I was safe, all was well.

My primeval brain did not believe that. My rational brain was whispering about the amazing view. I couldn’t hear it because my primeval brain was shrieking, “Get back! Danger! We’re going to die!” ***

I’ve been reading brain books for years. If I understand correctly, the front and top part of your brain, the neocortex, allows you to learn, remember, think and communicate. This part of your brain can also imagine new possibilities. I think of the neocortex as the rational/ creative brain.

The middle of your brain, the limbic brain, is your chemical or emotional brain. When you have an experience, your limbic brain churns out chemicals that reflect the emotions you’re feeling–mad, sad, glad. I think of the limbic brain as the emotional brain.

At the base of your skull is the cerebellum. This part of your brain keeps you breathing, keeps your heart pumping, looks after all the automatic functions that keep you alive. It also stores the emotional reactions, habits and unconscious skills (like typing or riding a bike) that you’ve mastered. I think of the cerebellum as the primeval brain. A key point: if you want to make changes or create new experiences, you need to get all three parts of your brain working together. Your thoughts, emotions and actions need to align. Another key point: if you’re arguing with yourself, it means different parts of your brain have a different opinion! ***

Back to the sheet of glass.

When my friend and I arrived at the Glacial Skywalk on the Banff-Jasper Highway, we agreed that we’d each meander around the displays and walk the glassbottomed Skywalk at our own pace.

I’m sometimes uncomfortable with heights. However, until I was standing at the edge of the glass-bottom walkway, I had not experienced absolute paralyzing primeval terror. My heart was pounding and palms sweaty.

I lifted one foot to step onto the glass walkway and every cell of my body froze. I could see people ambling comfortably and even (gasp!) leaning over the sides.

I was not one of them.

My friend, who had by now walked around the glass Skywalk several times, came to join me. She offered to take my left arm, while I clutched the railing with my right hand. I finally could let one foot rest on the glass. After a few seconds, I slowly lifted the other foot and stepped onto the glass bottom. Eventually we made it all the way around the glass walkway. Occasionally, I took in the gorgeous views, but mostly I was drowning in waves of terror.

My friend said, “This is probably inappropriate, but would you like me to take a picture of your white knuckles clutching the railing?” I did laugh. ***

At times when you choose a new experience or when a new challenge shows up, you can expect that your three brains may not instantly be in sync. Even when you know something is right for you, your thoughts, emotions and body may take a while to agree. I’ve understood that concept for years. The Skywalk gave me a whole new experience of the concept.

Right now, all of humanity is in a circumstance that almost nobody has been through before. Since the last global pandemic was more than 100 years ago, anyone who remembers it is really old!

In this new circumstance, there’s a high probability that on any given day, for most or all of us, our three brains may be out of sync.

It’s a good time for us to be gentle with ourselves and each another as we wait for our beleaguered brains to re-synchronize.

Culture conflict

Well said, Tony. This culture of conflict makes one wonder: What has happened to our democracy? What has happened to the heart and soul of our country, which for years inspired us to work together to build a nation where we all shouldered our responsibilities and we all shared in the benefits of our joint efforts? Are we now reduced to gangs of rivals bickering for the fruits of our labours? Even our putative leaders have abdicated their roles and instead of accepting blame for their failure to govern equitably and with vision, they have tried to distract us by blaming others.

Their mantra now is: We only want our “fair share”, as if someone else is preventing us from obtaining what is rightly ours. What a poor excuse for government policy. They have chosen the role of a “poor us” province to justify their inability to find solutions to the unquestioned challenges we face.

Let’s not allow them to get away with it. Above all, let’s not facilitate their strategy of divisiveness by putting ourselves into camps of prothis or anti-that. We are all Albertans trying to create the best life possible in this incredible corner of creation.

We can’t do it by fighting one another.

Peter LeBlanc, Camrose No mask

Last month, my elderly mother, who uses a walker and is no longer able to drive, visited the Smith Clinic for her scheduled doctor’s appointment. On the way to Camrose, she realized she had forgotten to take a mask from home. She found a mask in the vehicle and tried the mask on.

It was uncomfortable and very tight on her face.

My mom was dropped off at the clinic and left her purse in the vehicle. She wore the uncomfortable mask into the clinic, adhering to the current guidelines.

When she approached the reception desk, she asked if she was able to get a new mask. The individual at the desk replied that a new mask would cost a dollar. My mom advised she did not have her purse with her, and was unable to pay the one dollar. She was told if she did not pay, she did not get a new mask.

Just then the young women standing behind my mom tapped her on the shoulder and handed her a loonie. I thank this women from the bottom of my heart.

What amazes me is there are businesses in Camrose that provide masks for free upon entering their building.

Heather Tansowny, Hay Lakes Our trust

I would like to thank Tim Parker for taking the time to read my letter in The Camrose Booster. I really appreciate your willingness to comment on my opinions on COVID-19 being a biological weapon. I got my information from a YouTube video of an interview between a doctor who spoke with Francis Boyle on this topic.

Now, whether this virus is a biological weapon or some virus, which scientists both in China and the United States developed in special labs used for research, this virus is not natural. This was my main point. This virus was made to do one thing. Control. Look at what China has achieved without firing one shot. This pandemic is better than a war or a market crash. When mankind tries to play God and to fiddle with nature, in

the end, it always does not end well.

Mr. Parker, you are a very intelligent person. I am not as knowledgeable as you are. I try to research to the best of my ability. However, this is what I do know for sure. You can never trust China. They have been lying to us for years, so why should they start telling us the truth now? Chinese propaganda is not a new thing.

What the United States did wrong was that they tried to trust China by sharing scientific knowledge on gain of function. Look what China has done with that information. Mr. Parker, I do agree with you that we do have to be careful that we find the real truth about this virus. According to Chinese propaganda, COVID-19 came from bats. They are partly right. In a lab, they took the virus from the bat and used gain of function, which means they changed the virus from being in animals to being transferred to humans with a touch of the HIV virus. This was meant to make it more lethal.

Now, Mr. Parker, in my opinion, this makes more sense than to say the virus magically jumped from bats to humans. I do believe that it took man to intervene to make one virus so very easily transferable from human to human without showing any symptoms for 14 days.

Now, I do thank you for keeping me accountable.

You and I do agree that vaccines will be the only defense against this manmade virus. The virus is real. It is so very deadly.

However, what scares me is that this is just a test of what will soon show up, which will be more deadlier than COVID-19. We will not be hearing the end of this for a very long time.

CARE Coalition, alcohol awareness As part of an ongoing effort to educate people on alcohol awareness throughout the month of November, Alcohol Awareness Month, the Camrose CARE Coalition offers the following information on youth and alcohol.

“It is not surprising that adolescents are curious about alcohol and that some experiment to see for themselves what it is all about,” advised CARE coalition members Tammy Richard and Jen Willes.

Can you remember when you were their age?

Underage drinking is very common.

According to an October 2018 Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs survey, close to 80 per cent of Canadians 15 years and older have reported drinking alcohol during the past year. It is the substance that the majority of young people in Grades 7 through 12 will try first.

Why do teens drink?

“Adolescence is an exciting time. Peer pressure, boredom, risk-taking and the need to ‘fit in’ become important factors in a teenager’s life,” said Willes.

Young people may drink because they may feel a need to be like their friends or older siblings, or because they may see it happening all around them, on social media or at

parties. They may be copying your drinking habits or they may use alcohol to help them relax or deal with stress or anxiety.

According to local teens, “I drink to have more fun”, “I drink to fit in” and “I drink to have more courage.”

How can you tell if your teen has a drinking problem?

“Remember, you know your child. Trust yourself to know when there is a problem. For example, how do you know when they’re sick?” said Richard, suggesting to use the same skills to detect use of alcohol or other drugs. “Keep in mind that these changes could be due to other reasons.”

Some examples of changes to watch for include: changes in school performance, changes in attitudes toward sports and other activities, changes in weight or physical appearance, changes in eating or sleeping habits, changes in friends, and changes in behaviour. No one sign alone indicates an alcohol problem, but remember help is available.

If you suspect that your child is using alcohol or other drugs, talk to them about the changes you have observed. Tell them the differences you see between the way they used to behave and the

way they behave now. Try not to judge them. Stay focused on the behaviour you are observing and you will be less likely to hurt or offend them. For example use these types of conversation: “You used to call when you were going to be late and you don’t anymore.

Would you be willing to do that again?”

Talking to your child about alcohol doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. When you’re open and take the time to invite conversation, it can give your child or teen the guidance they need to make healthy decisions.

Willes and Richard offered the following tips on starting a conversation about alcohol: • Encourage questions and listen well.

• Be brief and neutral when explaining the facts.

• Try to understand your child’s point of view.

“By respecting one another’s views, it will invite future conversations and encourage your kids to come to you with questions,” said Willes.

Drop food items off at Bailey Theatre

By Murray Green

The Bailey Theatre is partnering with Camrose Neighbor Aid to collect items for the Food Bank during the month of November.

Everyone is encouraged to bring food items to the theatre when they see a show or when they stop in at the bistro.

The food drive coincides with the Tom Jackson Stories, Songs, and Santa Causes event on November 26. Jackson is a big supporter of help-

ing food banks across the country.

Jackson has travelled coast to coast to coast with The Huron Carole for many years, raising funds and awareness for local food banks and family service agencies, and this year, Bailey Theatre audiences will get to enjoy some of his in-person charm.

The Food Bank welcomes all donations, but they really could use extra canned fruits, canned vegetables, chunky soups, tuna, salmon, canned ham and Hamburger Helper.

Citizens provide government with referendum input

By Murray Green

The recent election was used to provide the provincial government with information through referendums.

Albertans participating in the 2021 municipal election had the opportunity to vote on equalization and year-round daylight saving time.

Citizens voted to remove equalization from Canada’s Constitution and to continue with seasonal time changes.

Results show 61.7 per cent of Albertans are in favour of removing the principle of equalization from the Constitution.

“A clear majority of Albertans have sent a powerful, democratic message: they want a fair deal in the federation. These results have given Alberta’s government a powerful mandate to secure changes to equalization and other federal transfers that have treated Albertans unfairly for so long. Our message is clear: Ottawa must respect Alberta and the huge role we play in Canada’s economic prosperity,” said Premier Jason Kenney.

However, it was just a message to send to the Canadian government about how Albertans feel.

Premier Kenney tabled a motion in the Alberta leg-

islature asking MLAs to ratify the referendum results.

“Albertans have very strong opinions about Daylight Saving Time and the results of the referendum show that, right now, Albertans prefer to continue changing their clocks.

There is no right or wrong answer on DST. We respect the decision made and will continue to focus on the pandemic and on Alberta’s economic recovery,” suggested Nate Glubish, minister of Service Alberta.

Albertans will continue to adjust their clocks twice a year as they have in the past. The next time change takes place on Nov. 7, when Alberta falls back one hour.

Albertans also had the opportunity to choose three nominees for the Senate. The Government of Alberta will introduce a motion in the legislature calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fill the two vacant Alberta Senate seats with elected nominees. Again, these are just recommendations, the Prime Minister can appoint anyone he wants.

More than 1,118,000 Albertans cast their ballot for Senate nominees, with Pam Davidson (382,243), Erika Barootes (358,002) and Mykhailo Martyniouk (237,228) earning the most votes.

“Hundreds of thousands

of Albertans have spoken on who should represent them in the Senate of Canada. I

thank all of those who ran and congratulate Davidson, Barootes and Martyniouk,

who are now Alberta’s nominees for the Senate,” added Premier Kenney.

Foreign funded campaigns

By Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

I hope everyone in the Camrose constituency is enjoying the great fall colours and the moonlit skies. I wanted to mention this because we have some beautiful fall scenery in the riding, and it’s important to appreciate the little things in life. One thing I really appreciate that I want to share with you is the public inquiry into anti-Alberta energy campaigns.

The organizations behind these campaigns and their funders have intentionally hurt our province’s oil and gas sector, and Albertans whose livelihoods depend on its continued success. As the owners of the resources, Albertans deserve to know what happened and we have a right to be upset.

Between 2003 and 2019, total foreign funding of Canadian-based environmental initiatives was $1.28 billion, a figure the commissioner estimates is likely significantly understated. He also found that proponents for these campaigns celebrated cancelled and vetoed projects and have taken credit for more than 1,000 divestments made by finance and insurance companies.

Furthermore, we can directly tie $54 million that entered Alberta for the sole purpose of opposing oil sands development—and, as the commissioner says, it’s likely the actual figure is much higher.

While these interrupters celebrated and boasted their success as pipelines were blocked and projects were abandoned, real people were hurt. Albertans lost jobs, businesses went under, and families were hurt.

Government revenues from royalties were also impacted. We lost billions of dollars in royalties and we saw pipeline bottlenecks that led to heavy price discounts and curtailment. While foreign jurisdictions were able to build infrastructure and ramp up production, our projects have been deliberately blocked.

We are in a global energy crisis right now, where supply has lagged demand. Can you imagine where we could have been if we had market access to Asia and Europe? Or where we could have been if Northern Gateway was built? Energy East? Keystone XL? Keystone is particularly a sore spot here because the pipeline would have started in Hardisty. Instead, jurisdictions like Saudi Arabia and Russia have been given a strategic advantage. The illusion that these activities have reduced greenhouse gas emissions is false. Their activities have resulted in a simple transfer of wealth, with zero impact on emissions. Every molecule left in the ground here has been taken out of the ground by others, with lower environmental standards and regulations.

I also wanted to highlight a great opportunity for women. Our government has opened applications for the Women in STEM Scholarships for the second intake.

STEM stands for Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Math. The application period is open until December 31.

Head to the website of the program of your choice to learn more about applying. Up to $2,500 is available per applicant. Our government is committed to empowering women, and programs like these will be helpful. I would love to see some women in the Camrose constituency get one of these scholarships.

I also wanted to share some results from AIMCo. The investment management company sometimes is an unfair target of the opposition. According to the second quarter results, AIMCo’s net return has been 7.3 per cent. The benchmark the company set was 3.5 per cent in 2021. Those are very good numbers. The damage done by low oil prices and poor policies of the previous government were felt. Now, Albertans are seeing much better returns. I encourage everyone to head to AIMCo’s website and see the numbers for themselves.

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

Couple assaulted each other October 26

The manager of a downtown restaurant advised Camrose Police that a male had left the business without paying his bill. Police checks in the area determined that the same male had done the same thing at another restaurant, which had gone unreported. Police are looking at video surveillance to identify the suspect.

EMS requested police assistance at a local hotel with a patient who had been assaulted by her boyfriend. When Police arrived, the female victim was uncooperative with an investigation, but police were able to gather other evidence, including a witness who had observed the assault. It was determined that the female had first struck her boyfriend in the face, at which time he retaliated, causing an injury to her head. The male was located walking along 48th Avenue, where he was arrested and later charged with assault causing bodily harm. The female was also later charged with assault.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Trent Cleveland, left, is delighted to have the ring his grandfather lost over 35 years ago returned after Troy Callicott, right, unearthed it in his backyard.

Upon further inspection, Troy realized the shiny object was a gold ring, the sight of which reminded him of a conversation he had with Trevor Cleveland (a friend), grandson of Louis Gabrieau, who had owned the home in which Troy was now living, two owners prior to Troy.

“I remembered they (Cleveland’s) told me about their papa, Louis Gabrieau, losing his ring in the garden, and that Louis had told the previous owner if they found a ring, it belonged to him,” recalled Troy.

According to Dianne Cleveland (Louis’ daughter), her father, who has since passed away, lost the ring in the early ’80s (1983 or 1984).

“My dad was doing yardwork, which he loved, and somehow lost his ring,” said Dianne.

Years later, while Louis was living in Deer Meadows, he met an employee who worked for Bethany, who assisted Louis on his bathing days.

“After getting to know this worker, my dad found out he (the worker) had bought the house which my mom and dad owned.

“My dad told him if he ever found a man’s ring that it was his.”

Sadly, the then owner never did recover the ring and as more years went by, hope diminished that

delighted to be able to return it to the family.

“It was nice of Troy to reach out to us and give us the ring that belonged to our papa,” said Trent. “I never inherited anything from my papa when he passed away, so this is a great sentimental gift to pass on to one of our children.”

For anyone who has ever lost a loved one, keeping a memento, whether it is their favourite jacket, a piece of jewelry, a letter they wrote, a book they read, or their favourite mug, not only acts as a physical reminder of them, but is also a concrete way of keeping them close in our hearts.

A small gold ring has found its rightful home in the possession of Louis’ grandchildren, who are more than happy to have the precious memento of their grandfather’s back.

It seems, these days, the news is filled with stories of grief, controversy and societal disrupt, so the story of how a family was able to recover a small token of a beloved family member and be reminded of days spent making memories with them is not only refreshing, but one might say miraculous.

The tiny ring of gold is a shining example of what holding out hope can do to restore our belief in goodness.

AND ARE PROUD TO PRESENT

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.

Kodiaks edged by Canucks

By Murray Green

Jumpin’ Jehoshaphat, the Camrose Kodiaks pounded 51 shots at the Calgary Canucks netminder Ian Mills, but came out on the wrong end of a 5-4 score in the Alberta Junior Hockey League south division on October 26.

Roc Truman opened the scoring in the first period before the Canucks replied two minutes later.

In the middle frame, Connor Gourley put the Kodiaks up again with a power play marker. This time, the Canucks fought back with two goals to take the lead.

Calgary added another tally in the third before the Kodiaks tied the game once more, with goals from Gourley and Callum Gau. The Canucks stopped the Kodiaks in their tracks by scoring the goahead marker with 1:06 left in the match to take the two points.

Music, originality, plagiarism

Once again, the perennial questions of plagiarism and originality in popular music have reared their heads. This time, two young female artists–Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish–have been accused of writing songs that sound too much like other songs.

Rodrigo has taken some flak for supposedly having lifted the main riff of Elvis Costello’s 1978 new wave tune “Pump it Up” in her single Alexander Carpenter, “Brutal”, released in the late Music, summer of 2021; around the University of Alberta same time, Eilish was accused Augustana Campus of stealing musical elements from another young female singer, Diamond White, for her single “Ocean Eyes”.

Costello was quick to defend Rodrigo, insisting that he himself had borrowed from a number of other musicians when he wrote “Pump it Up”, asserting “that’s how rock and roll works.” But if fan and media discourse is any indication, the notion that borrowing from the past is an inexorable facet of musical creativity is deeply disturbing for listeners who demand “originality” and denounce artists judged to have borrowed too liberally from other songs.

This insistence on the purity of musical creativity is a holdover from the “romantic” aesthetic of the 19th century, which privileged expression and individuality over all else.

The musicologist Mark Evan Bonds coined the phrase “imperative of originality” to describe this key aspect of romantic music, and argues that composers after Beethoven were especially overwhelmed by Beethoven’s legacy. An exasperated Johannes Brahms expressed this best, insisting “I shall never write a symphony! You can’t have any idea what it’s like always to hear such a giant marching behind you!”

Notwithstanding, Brahms would go on to write four symphonies, the first of which, completed in 1876, reveals his response to the “anxiety of influence” provoked by Beethoven. Brahms borrows small musical ideas from some of Beethoven’s famous symphonies, reworking them and ultimately transforming and integrating them into his own music. In this way, Bonds argues, it becomes possible for a great composer to negotiate with a highly influential figure from the musical past by “misreading”, or willfully recontextualizing Beethoven’s ideas, and thereby go on to create new music.

The “imperative of originality” has, in fact, always been an impossibility, even in the 19th century, when composers became high priests of art and conduits of divine inspiration. Originality became, in Bonds’ words, “an essential criterion of value.” But the reality, as the 19th century German music critic A.B. Marx asserted, was that an “unconscious dialectic of the artistic spirit” existed, which meant that composers of the past and present were necessarily–if unconsciously–connected, since all composers deal with the same fundamental artistic issues at any given time in history.

What does this have to do with Rodrigo and Eilish? It is surely unreasonable to expect these two young artists to write songs that are purely and perfectly original. And it would perhaps behoove their critics to proceed with greater sensitivity, acknowledging that Marx’s “unconscious dialect of the artistic spirit” is always at play in the realm of musical invention.

Consider the observation that Rodrigo’s song–different in many significant ways from “Pump it Up–not only lifts Costello’s riff, but also the harmonic structure of Chicago’s 1969 hit song “25 or 6 to 4”. Or, we could say that, in terms of texture and overall effect, Rodrigo and her writing partner Dan Nigro are more obviously channeling ’90s female grunge bands like Veruca Salt, Hole and The Breeders, and not a British singer-songwriter from the 1970s.

As for Eilish and her plagiarism, the fact that the song she is reputed to have plagiarized was never commercially released is a problem–for creative theft to happen, one must have access as well as intent. These songs do sound similar, but as Brahms–a composer whose greatest works emerged out of an ongoing negotiation with the music of the past–famously replied to a listener, who pointed out the similarities between some of his themes and Beethoven’s, “Any ass can see that.”

Downtown history captured in mural

By Lori Larsen

The City of Camrose continues to develop strategies to assist small businesses in Camrose get their feet back on the ground and attract back business lost during the pandemic, including the City of Camrose Façade Improvement Grant program.

The grant was part of the small business grant program approved by City of Camrose Council as part of the Economic Recovery Action Plan for the City.

Round one of the grant was available in 2020 and round two in 2021.

“In 2020, Council recognized the importance of supporting small businesses in our community as we worked through COVD-19 and wanted to invest in their success,” explained City of Camrose Community Development general manager Patricia MacQuarrie. “The Façade Improvement Program was utilized by businesses in all parts of the City’s business landscape.”

One such project is a 100-foot long mural extending 13 to 26 feet, on the south wall of the building located at 4904-50 Street, which has added a vibrant touch to the downtown core, while preserving a piece of Camrose’s past.

The mural was proposed

by Colleen and Murray McLeod (owners of the building) as a way to bring even more interest to the downtown area, while adding to the unique shopping experience that has come to be known in Downtown Camrose.

“When we were looking at the building as a prospective purchase, we found out a good friend’s grandfather had built it and lived there with his family,” explained Colleen.

“It was built by James M.

Agrios in 1947.

They shared the top floor with a dentist, who ran his practice up there. On the main floor was the original Eaton’s Catalogue Store and a grocer.”

Colleen and Murray contacted four local artists, providing them with the details of a mural project for the side of the building facing 49 Avenue, and commissioned Cris Turley to complete the project. “As soon as we saw Cris Turley’s vision in the style of an oil painting, we knew we had found our artist. We met with Cris a few times, going over details, and left the creativity up to him. We are so pleased with the final result.”

The bid included a colour change to the front of the building, stucco repairs, window seals, and repainting the trim to match the mural, and of course the mural itself, which depicts the original building (of that location) in 1950 in a nightscape, with cars of that era (including a pink car and an Eaton’s delivery van) and people dressed in that era, strolling the street.

“Colleen was able to source a picture of the Eaton’s building in the early ’50s, which was the main

idea to be incorporated in the mural,” explained Cris.

“Working with a canvas larger than a standard highway billboard and attempting to create brush strokes and pallet knife-type techniques proved quite challenging with high quality exterior acrylic. To add to the complications, we decided on a night scene and rain, while attempting to use as much colour as possible.”

However, beginning with a black primer and background set the stage for some raised eyebrows.

“There were more than a

few concerned people who stopped by to offer opinions about a large black wall in the centre of our downtown,” remarked Cris.

“I wanted to create a rainbow effect from one side to the other, the order of which is suggested in the girl’s umbrella. It will be fun to hear when people find the hidden pictures and words in the many brushstrokes applied.”

This was Cris’ first large-scale public painting.

“As others would agree, putting your art out there for many to criticize is a stressful thing, but I have had nothing but 100 per cent positive feedback from the wonderful people of Camrose and a lot of encouragement along the way. It’s amazing how small comments like those can raise my confidence as an artist and in the way I paint.”

Colleen said they heard about the City’s Façade Improvement Grant from one of their tenants, so decided to jump at the chance to preserve a little of Camrose’s history as well as beautify the downtown.

“It was a fairly simple process, providing a description, as well as sketches and any other pertinent information you may have, including financial. They will match up to half of the funds to a maximum of $4000.00.

“We would like to see our downtown core flourish, and believe projects like this will be a draw for people. It’s been really tough on our retailers and other businesses with the pandemic, and if this helps in any way, we are grateful.”

The grant criteria included: businesses located in the City of Camrose that hold a valid business licence for a storefront loca-

tion, employ less than 20 employees, own the storefront for which improvements were to be made, or have the expressed permission of the owner at the time of the application and upon grant approval, and enter into a grant funding agreement with the City of Camrose.

According to MacQuarrie, other businesses have also taken advantage of the grant program. “Businesses from the east industrial area to downtown to the west end retail, we saw the grants used for new signage, façade improvements like painting and siding work, better lighting, and artistic projects, like the mural and large boulder installation at Battle River Brewery.

“The program was oversubscribed in 2021, so we (the City) used a scoring matrix and committee to evaluate all the applications to provide the greatest impact on the community.”

MacQuarrie added that because it was a matching grant, with high importance placed on sourcing the work locally, the grant funds generated well over double the economic impact than the grant alone would have.

“We had businesses sourcing paint, products, services, and exterior installations all from local sources, plus we’ve improved the beautification of our business areas, as clearly demonstrated with the Tish’s and 4904 buildings’ murals.”

A continuum of effort to make Camrose the best little city to visit and to encourage shopping local has resulted in a variety of other initiatives and projects, including the downtown ice sculptures, lighting of the trees along Main Street and various display contests.

CHIEF Dean LaGrange Chief of Police Camrose Police Service Question: Question: Who has the right of way at intersections not controlled by traffic lights?

Answer: Intersections with three- or four-way stop signs are referred to as “courtesy corners”. Courtesy is to allow the vehicle that arrived first to proceed first. If both vehicles arrive at the same time, courtesy allows the vehicle on the right to proceed first. Do not proceed unless you can do so safely. At intersections that are uncontrolled or have no signs, a vehicle that is turning must yield to a vehicle going straight through. If both vehicles are on a straight path through an intersection (i.e. 90 degrees to each other), the vehicle to the right side has the right of way. Regardless, use caution and only proceed when you are sure it is safe to do so.

Vikse restores old ’51 family farm truck

By Murray Green

Dave Vikse of Meeting Creek owns a 1951 Chevrolet 1300 half-ton truck. He restored the old working farm truck into a thing of beauty.

“Our family farm was started in 1902, and this truck has been part of the farm since we got it. A few years ago, I decided to make a hot rod out of it,” shared Dave.

“It has a 1987 Chev frame and then I built the body around the frame. It has a big block 454 engine, with a 400 turbo transmission and is no longer your typical farm truck, although I have gone to town to get spray with it just for the fun of it. I built it to have fun,” said Dave.

“I put the gas tank in the back and it isn’t quite finished, this is the second trip to Camrose with it,” said Dave, at last summer’s car show.

“Our farm is a fifthgeneration farm and I wanted something to show history from the past to connect the generations.

That is why I left the truck patina, to make it look like an old farm truck. I left some of the dents and the banged-up tailgate to keep the history in the truck.

I like that because it is part of what the truck is,” explained Dave.

“I didn’t want a brand new, shiny fancy truck.

HISTORIC TRUCK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Dave Vikse drew and painted a logo to go on the doors of the family 1951 Chevrolet truck. The fifth generation farm has used this truck for three generations. The Chevrolet worked hard in its day, but has retired to a life of fun with Dave.

I wanted to see the rock dents and scratches from throughout the years to keep the memories in the truck. This was actually used as a grain truck with stock racks on it. I still

FUN FACTS

New truck designs hit the showrooms sooner than passenger cars after the Second World War, and Chevrolet led the way with its Advanced Design models.

They immediately captured the lead in sales and held it every year until the Advanced Design era ended with the 1954 models.

The five-window pickup is one of the rare Canadian iterations. The 1300 Series truck was both comfortable and modern at the time. They were workhorse vehicles. Few Chevy trucks of the 1950s remain in well-preserved condition, but they are currently garnering tremendous interest from enthusiasts.

In 1951, one-piece door glass gave way to two-piece glass with vent windows. During the year, Chevrolet changed the bed from a nine-board to an eight-board pattern. The front bumper was standard and, believe it or not, the rear bumper was an option.

Only a top cowl vent was offered; the driver-side vent was discontinued. This was the only year with vent windows and pull-down exterior door handles. It was also the last year for chrome inside the window handle knobs and a chrome wiper knob.

Prior to 1955, dark green was the standard paint colour, with other colours being available as a non-cost option.

have the stock racks, but I didn’t want to put them on. You can still see the scars on the stock racks,” laughed Dave.

“I’m really happy how it turned out. I used barn wood from the old barn for the cover on the box. That is the way I want it, I’m not using new wood. People often ask me if I’m going to paint it. No, it is already painted. Nature painted it for me.”

Dave did put his stamp on the doors. “We sell purebred Charolais cattle, so the Vikse Family Farm is our emblem. I painted it to show the mix of cattle and grain together. This has been a really fun project for me because I didn’t know anything about restoring a truck. I learned on the go and then I would read a little bit. I learned so much.

I must have put the cab on and off about 15 times because nothing fits perfect,” he revealed.

“Maybe a weld was crooked, or a bolt wasn’t just right. That is the fun

part of building a truck,” he added. “The old trucks used to have the gas tank behind the seat and I didn’t like that idea. I liked the look of an old trunk that belonged to the family, so I put in the box.

That is actually where the gas tank is now,” revealed Dave. “I wanted the truck to look old, but drive like a brand new truck. Everything underneath is new and it was a frame-off rebuild.”

Traffic devices improve safety

By Lori Larsen

During the regular council meeting on September 20, council discussed concerns over the current traffic situation regarding pedestrian safety crossing at the intersection of 44 Street and 48 Avenue.

Discussion focused on the feasibility of installing a new pedestrian crosswalk with flashing lights at the intersection of 44 Street and 48 Avenue.

According to City of Camrose Engineering Services manager Jeremy Enarson, work involving this particular intersection is part of a larger project indirectly related to the convenience store/fast-food restaurant that is being constructed at 41 Street and 48 Avenue.

“As part of the discussions with that developer, the City asked the developer’s engineer to review the expected impact on traffic and pedestrian movements

at and around the development,” explained Enarson.

“Ultimately, the City and the developer agreed that permanent changes to the configuration of the 41 Street/48 Avenue intersection would be required to ensure safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles.”

A letter was sent by the City to the property owners that would be most impacted by changes to the 41 Street and 48 Avenue intersection, in which the City stated.

“With the proposed new fast-food restaurant and convenience store that will open soon near this intersection, the City asked the developer to review how the proposed development would impact this intersection. Based on that review, the developer’s engineer determined that 41 Street “northbound through” and “left turn onto 48 Avenue” traffic movements would experience very long

delays–in some cases, over a minute long during peak periods. If left unchecked, drivers at this intersection may become impatient with delays and may decide to enter the intersection when it is not safe to do so.

“After reviewing various options, the City and developer agreed that the best option would be to reconfigure the intersection to eliminate the northbound through and northbound left turn movements altogether. This will be accomplished by increasing the size of the concrete island located at the southeast corner of the intersection, and forcing all northbound traffic to turn right (east) onto a new “free flow” lane on 48 Avenue.

“The proposed intersection reconfiguration will still allow traffic to turn south from 48 Avenue onto 41 Street from both directions. The proposed changes were reviewed and accepted by City Council at

the September 20 Council meeting.

“The City recognizes that these changes may impact how customers or staff from these businesses would access other parts of Camrose. As northbound drivers on 41 Street will no longer be permitted to cross 48 Avenue or turn left (west) onto 48 Avenue, the City is encouraging drivers to use the existing fully-signalized intersection located at 39 Street and 48 Avenue. The City’s latest Transportation Master Plan has identified that 39 Street has capacity to handle significantly more traffic than what it currently sees.”

Enarson indicated that prior to letter being sent to the impacted property owners, the City considered several options for the improvements.

“One of the options considered was the installation

of traffic signals at this location,” said Enarson.

“When we looked at the amount of traffic approaching the intersection on 41 Street from the south or from the north, those traffic volumes were way too low to make signals at this location work in an efficient manner.

“Also, the presence of the underpass was a major consideration, as eastbound traffic would be stopping on a steep hill if they were waiting at a red light.”

Based on the review, with the developer’s engineer, the City determined that signals at the 41 Street and 48 Avenue intersection would not be the right option. “ The intersection reconfiguration was decided as the best option available to support growth and development within Camrose, while ensuring the highest level of safety and efficiency for all users.”

Operation Christmas Child fills shoeboxes Dr. William “Garry” Garnet Gibson

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Cairns family pack several shoeboxes every year for Operation Christmas Child to provide items for less fortunate children around the world. Children Liam, Joelle and McKaleigh packed boxes for children age 10, 11 and eight, to reflect their ages. Parents Sonja and Troy also donate items for shoeboxes and Troy has volunteered at the packing centre in Calgary. The family encourages others in the Camrose area to help children have a better Christmas.

By Murray Green

Local residents are helping children have a better Christmas in countries around the world.

Operation Christmas Child is a division of Samaritan’s Purse that has been collecting and delivering shoeboxes–188 million, in fact–to 170 countries and territories since 1993.

These shoeboxes bring joy and hope to children in desperate situations. This year, shoeboxes collected in Canada will be delivered to El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

“Be a part of this neat project and watch a shoebox be the first gift many children will ever receive.

It’s as simple as picking up a shoebox or shoeboxes from Dollar Tree, Vinesation, Pedersen’s Florist, The Soap Stop, The Lefse House or ATB. You can also use a regular shoebox that you already have. Pack them with school supplies, toiletries, and small fun gifts,” said Kathy Runnalls, local organizer of Operation Christmas Child.

“Return them to the same businesses before November 15, or to Century Meadows Baptist Church (3720-66 Street) during National Collection Week (November 15 to 21). Get your friends, family and colleagues involved.”

If you need inspiration for what to pack, the Samaritan’s Purse website provides a list of ideas for each age group.

If you’d rather, you can pack a box online at packabox.ca.

In 2020, Camrose packed 1,607 boxes. Let’s work together to surpass that total in 2021.

If you have questions or need more information, call Kathy Runnalls at 780-678-6328.

Drop-off hours at the church are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Nov. 15 to 20, and from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 21.

Operation Christmas Child is an annual initiative of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief organization, that works in more than 100 countries.

Shoeboxes are given as unconditional gifts regardless of the child’s race, religion or gender. When given, they often open doors for Samaritan’s Purse to work with local community leaders in identifying and addressing important needs such as clean water, literacy, vocational training for women, school meals for children, etc.

“Remember to include $10 donation with each box to cover the cost of collecting, shipping and processing. The donation can be made by cash or cheque or online,” said Kathy.

June 14, 1931 ~ October 21, 2021 With great sadness, we announce the passing of Dr. William Garnet Gibson “Garry/Gibber” on Thursday, October 21, 2021. He is predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Dorothy Joyce Gibson (nee Rowe), who passed on December 23, 2020. He is dearly missed by his children Nancy Gibson of Racine, Wisconsin (husband Keith Kohlmann and children Samuel and James), John Gibson of Canmore (wife Jean McAllister), and Carol Gibson Coyne (husband Geret Coyne and children Saidy and Karly); by his brother Don Gibson (wife Anne Gibson) of Coquitlam (children Denise, Kim, and Gordon); and wife Jackie of his predeceased brother Tommy and children (Lennette, Pat and Tammy). He is also sadly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and a multitude of students and athletes, who filled his life with purpose and joy.

Garry’s commitment to building a loving community held strong right to the end of his days.

His amazing caregivers at home and staff at St. Mary’s Hospital would attest to the light he brought in his own way to those around him.

Garry was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to William Lloyd and Violet (nee McRae) Gibson.

He was the eldest of three boys, Don and Tom. His father Lloyd was a logger in Avola and later in Arrow Park, British Columbia. The boys were raised partially at his father’s logging camp and were influenced by being around men who did an “honest day’s work” and lived with respect for the natural environment and “the power of natural consequences”.

His mother Violet and her sisters Alida and Lottie were trained as teachers. All of these women had a huge influence on Garry, and they inspired him through high school to go on to higher learning.

Initially, Garry studied Forestry at the University of British Columbia, but struggled to bridge rural education with urban university expectations.

He decided to take a break from university and, inspired by his Christian faith, was called to accept a lay minister position in Burns Lake, British Columbia for two years. There, he met Kaare Engstad, an Olympian from Camrose, who refined his cross-country skiing technique and ignited a lifelong love for the sport. However, he left the ministry, for he said, “After attending to 40 funerals and two weddings during the two years and having minimal interaction with youth, I felt I would be better suited to study education.” He returned to the University of British Columbia to the Faculty of Education and graduated in 1958 as a Physical Education teacher.

His first years of teaching were in Terrace, BC at a high school, which he described as a “wild and woolly experience” that challenged his ability to work not only as a teacher, but he also needed to navigate the many social issues of a northern BC town.

He recalled that the biggest miracle of his life happened when he met Dorothy (Doh) at a Christmas party in Trail, BC, when a huge snowstorm interrupted his plans to head to Vancouver for the holidays. After corresponding by letters, they married in August 1960. He took his new wife to Terrace, where they grew their family to include children Nancy and John.

In 1963, Garry and Doh moved to Edmonton, where Garry started his Master’s program studying Outdoor Education at the University of Alberta.

In the fall of 1964, they moved to Camrose and Garry began his work at Camrose Lutheran College. They celebrated the birth of their third child, Carol, later that year. Over the next 31 years, Garry taught Physical Education. He developed an Outdoor Education program after obtaining his Doctorate from the University of Alberta in Outdoor Leadership.

Gibber founded the Vikings Cross Country Ski Team at CLC in 1974. He recruited and produced athletes and coaches, who eventually competed at an international level. With his “blood, sweat and tears”, he became a driving force behind the Camrose Ski Club, recruiting any willing or unwilling members to create and maintain the trail system, which has had a lasting impact in the Camrose area to this day.

Within the college environment, Garry found a way to impact many people’s lives, lifting them up to find their calling in life and ultimately reach the goal of creating community and making this world a better place.

In retirement, Garry found his stride volunteering with the Augustana Outdoor Leadership trips, coaching and developing a system to send athletes to the World Universiade Games. He also took a leading role at the Camrose United Church and became a strong advocate for the environment through his work with the Green Committee with the Camrose City Council. He could be found daily in the Stoney Creek Valley, walking, biking, cross-country skiing, and enjoying conversations with new and old friends.

Garry and Doh were always a team, and their biggest joy was to share their lives with their family and friends. Our father lived with the basic belief that we could not control the force of life, however, we could control how we responded to life with the strength and courage that we found in our faith in God’s love. He trusted people’s good intentions. This gave him the ability to accept the help he needed on his journey and be appreciative of people’s efforts.

His legacy lives on, not only in his visible accomplishments, but in the lives he has impacted and the hearts he has filled with love over his lifetime.

OK, gang. Let’s roll ’er. Onward and upward!

There will be a celebration of life for Garry and Dorothy in the spring of 2022.

Elaine Margaret Chalmers

Eugene “Gene” Harry Chromik July 5, 1947 ~ October 14, 2021 Eugene “Gene”/“Geno” Chromik was born in Daysland, Alberta, on July 5, 1947, and passed away on the family farm north of Strome on October 14, 2021, at the age of 74.

Gene lived on a farm north of Daysland for his first nine years, but moved to town in 1957, after his father’s tragic death in a train/car collision. Giving up his horse Prince was devastating, but he soon became absorbed in a newfound love of bird-watching. He loved to search and collect bird eggs and, to this day, he could identify the most obscure of bird calls.

Through his early adult years, Gene was never idle, and worked a number of diverse and interesting jobs. He spent countless hours accompanying Veterinarian Dr. Joe Hrdlicka on farm calls, worked on the oil rigs, and spent time in Prince Rupert at a pulp mill. Managing Welsh’s Saddlery, a western tack and apparel store, was where Gene’s true chatty nature shone. Being a sharp dresser himself, he took great pride outfitting country and city folk alike in ‘cowboy duds’ for the stampede … especially when clientele included Gordon Lightfoot and Kenny Rogers!

Deciding to further his education, Gene enrolled in Biological Sciences at NAIT. However, jobs were scarce when he graduated, thus he never pursued a career in that field. Regardless, he took two provincial wrestling titles along with his degree. Throughout his college years, he always kept his high school sweetheart Susan Froehler close to his heart and, after a six-year pursuit, he eventually convinced her that he really was a great catch! Wedding bells rang on June 8, 1974, and to this union came four wonderful children, whom he loved equally and dearly.

Gene would have been quite content to continue his retail career at Welsh’s, but his father-in-law Melvin asked him to consider farming, and what a wonderful life this would be: to be able to make a living off the land, to raise his family in the country, and be close to nature. Who could ask for anything more? Gene was known as a cattle and grain farmer, but his engaging smile, jokey nature, generous spirit and love of shootin’ the breeze with family, friends, or strangers was his true identity. He was a strong advocate for protecting trees and marshes, and one of his favourite places to spend time with Susan and their kids was the prairie pasture north of Wavy Lake. He was an avid hunter, but also soft-hearted and, in his later years, preferred to ‘shoot’ with his camera. The lasting friendships Gene made over the course of his life were fostered at 4-H cattle shows, ball diamonds, hockey arenas, auction markets, daily coffee with ‘the boys’, but, above all, with his faith-filled church family. His life was one well lived, and he will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Gene is survived by his wife, Susan, of 47 years; his children Chris (Amanda), Erin, Angela (Victor), and Andrea (Kalin); grandchild Anela; and siblings Orest (Leanne), Ben (Barbara), Monica (Ted), and Cathy (Rob). He was predeceased by his parents Harry and Julia; and sister Mary.

A private family service was held.

If family and friends desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Buck for Wildlife, Alberta Fish and Game Association, Ducks Unlimited or to the charity of one’s choice.

September 21, 1943 ~ October 23, 2021 Elaine Margaret Rea was born on September 21, 1943, in the small Manitoba town, Deloraine. Her larger-than-life spirit and shenanigans took her on adventures in many places throughout her 78 years, one month and two days on this Earth.

Elaine was an active, energetic, and full-of-life lady, who would dance no matter where she was, including through the grocery store aisles. She had a few name changes: Elaine Hampton, Elaine Chalmers, Auntie Purple, Chalmy, and one final name change to Gramma Dynamite that stuck for the remainder of her life.

Gramma D had a passion for travel and an ability to appreciate experiences that most others take for granted, such as her first swim in the ocean when she was in her 50s and her exclamation, “It’s salty!”

She had so many natural talents and put her heart, soul and passion into activities such as cooking, baking, making chocolates, cake decorating, knitting, crocheting, sewing and cutting and styling hair. Anyone who was lucky enough to experience the finished products, such as her GD pancakes, or the matching orange plaid polyester pantsuits she and her two daughters sported in the ’70s, can attest to her abilities in anything she did.

Elaine was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, auntie, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, coworker and neighbour.

She had a knack for making anyone she met feel comfortable, at ease and welcomed, not just as friends, but as family. Her ability to listen, comfort and give you crap when you needed it always allowed you to be yourself, as she was always authentically herself.

With her caring and giving nature, it’s no surprise that Christmas was one of her favourite holidays and she always gave of herself generously. She loved snowmen of all kinds, but, of course, the blue ones were her favourite.

She seemed to have a saying for any occasion, such as “I don’t think, I don’t get paid for it”, “Wish in one hand and sh*#t in the other and see which one gets full first”, and “Just do it, and then it’s done”. She always knew just what to say, and most always had the last say. All who knew her will confirm that she was always up for anything, whether it be a game of cards, some tomfoolery or just a long chat until the early hours of the morning, she was in.

Elaine made sure to be presentable, especially her fingernails, which were always long, polished and perfect. This may be due to her flipping the bird so much and wanting to make sure that finger would photograph well. Whatever her reason was, she was a beautiful lady from head to toe, inside and out.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Stacie Chalmers (Danny Hertel) of Camrose, Lori Ann Hampton (Joe Delgado) of Edmonton, and Rick (Mika) Hampton of Harrison Lake, BC; numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and siblings Bob Rea of Thompson, Manitoba, Gordon (Joyce) Rea of Mountainside, Manitoba, Ruth Vandermeulen of Brandon, Manitoba, and Lois (Wendell) Shaw of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Elaine was predeceased by her husband Eldon; brothers David Rea and Murry Rea; and sisters Helen Whenham, Linda Caswell, Marlene Rea and Shirley Vandenberg.

Due to Alberta Health regulations, a private family service was held. A recording will be made available following the service.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Elaine’s memory may be made to the Autism Society of Alberta.

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.

INSERTER – To assemble Boosters and flyer packages Mondays, 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.; Tuesdays, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (or until work is done); and Fridays, 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Lots of lifting and arms in constant motion. Crew of very nice ladies to work with. Call Andrea, 780672-3142.

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 off to playoffs

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes bantam team suffered a rare loss, but advanced to the Capital District Minor Football Association playoffs.

“It was a well-matched final season game for the bantam Buffaloes on October 24. Anytime we go up against the Fort Saskatchewan Falcons, it’s going to be a toss-up as to who wins, as the teams are so evenly matched.

Unfortunately, we were not able to beat them this time around. It was a nail-biter right to the end of the game. We had a few errors and two key players missing from the roster, which led to a loss of 37-28,” said coach Troy Christie.

Heading into the final game, both teams were undefeated in regular season. Nate MacDonald caught a 30-yard touchdown pass, Logen Christie scored on a Falcon’s kickoff return then fumble, Layne McNalley had a 45-yard run for a touchdown, and Christie scored again to end the game with a 63-yard run after a pass from Wyatt Fankhanel.

Two-point converts were scored by Christie and Howells Boateng. Tristan Ryschka grabbed an interception, and two fumble recoveries were made by MacDonald and Boateng.

The bantam squad finished the regular season in second place, which earned them a bye for the first round of playoffs. Their next game is the semifinal on Sunday, November 7.

The Camrose Buffaloes peewee team wrapped up their regular season on October 24 in Edmonton against the Stony Plain Bombers.

The Buffaloes pulled out a 56-0 win and finished their season undefeated.

The defense only allowed six points against all season, while the offence averaged over 50 points per game.

“It has been a complete team effort all season,” said coach Brad Berger.

The peewee team finished first overall and enjoy a bye week in the first round of the playoffs.

Only two wins separate them from the championship.

Costly police force

By Murray Green

The cost of living in Alberta has gone up drastically due to rising food costs, higher utility costs and sky-rocketing gas prices.

Now the provincial government wants to add expensive provincial police costs to the mix.

An Alberta commissioned report on a possible provincial police force glossed over hundreds of millions of dollars in new costs for Alberta taxpayers.

“Almost $200 million in federal funding will be given up if we move to a provincial force,” said Irfan Sabir, NDP critic for justice. “On top of this, the UCP’s own report says it will cost $366 million in up-front transition costs alone. So while the minister twists himself into knots to claim there will not be any additional costs for Albertans, this is simply not true.”

The RCMP replaced a weak provincial police department back in April 1932 because it wasn’t serving the needs of the province.

“We know Albertans want an active role in their safety and deciding what services they want provided. We are listening and taking action. It is vital to hear from the community we serve. It is important to help not only meet goals, but to give them confidence about safety within their community.

We continue to welcome feedback on the service we provide. The government and municipalities have invested a lot of money.

We have been using those investments to benefit the service and community.

Since the announcement of the study, it has brought uncertainly to members and their employment to Alberta RCMP. I want all Albertans to know that the RCMP are fiercely proud to serve this province,” said RCMP Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, in his address to the study.

“Don’t forget that the UCP already dumped $286 million in additional costs on rural taxpayers through their new rural policing model. That will either mean less service or higher taxes for Albertans. So let’s be clear: this is a sneaky plan to raise Albertans’ taxes,” said Sabir.

Damien C. Kurek, who was re-elected on September 20, was sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot.

In a speech delivered at the ceremony and via Facebook Live, Kurek stated, “It is certainly an honour to once again be sworn in as the Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot.”

He thanked his family, staff, campaign team, and volunteers. “Although there is one name on the ballot, although there is one name on the election sign, it is truly about so many more than one person. A huge thank you to the people of Battle River-Crowfoot, who have once again trusted me to fight for them and fight for the interests of East Central Alberta and Battle River-Crowfoot.”

He made it clear that while the Liberal government is in no hurry to return to the work of serving Canadians, he and the Official Opposition is already, “hard at work for constituents and all Canadians.”

If your wife is mad at you, go hunting.

She’ll still be mad, but at least you’ll be hunting.

No-vember. It starts with no for a reason. No, I can’t help you out. No, I can’t join your activity. I’m hunting.

I’m at the age where an “all-nighter” just means that I didn’t have to get up to go to the bathroom.

I’m stepping down from my job to devote myself full time to reading the emails from my kids’ schools.

Does anyone else look in the fridge for a snack only to find you have no snack-worthy snacks, so then you lower your snackspectations and eat a single cheese slice with a questionable expiration date and a random grape?

As soon as you say, “My child would never…”, here they come nevering like they never nevered before!

While filling up with gas this morning, I noticed the person before me on Pump #3 bought $10 worth.

Where on earth are they going? To Pump #4?

Downtown adult condo

“Ha!”: Mildly amusing.

“Ha ha!”: Laughing.

“Ha ha ha!”: Sarcastic laughing.

“Ha ha ha ha!”: Staying active.

6:00 p.m. in the summer: “The night is young!

Let’s stay outside for hours!”

6:00 p.m. in the fall: “Well, it’s dark, so I guess I’ll just get ready for bed now.”

Three hunters were at a deer camp. They had to bunk two to a room.

No one wanted to room with Steve, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn’t fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first night, John slept in Steve’s room and came to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. The rest of the guys said, “Man, what happened to you?”

He said, “Steve snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night.”

The next night, it was Garry’s turn. In the morning, same thing – hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. Once again, they asked, “Man, what happened to you? You look awful!”

He said, “Man, that Steve shakes the roof. I couldn’t sleep a wink. I just watched him all night.”

The third night, it was Herb’s turn. Herb was a big, burly guy who loved to fish and hunt – a real man’s man.

The next morning, he came to breakfast brighteyed and bushy-tailed. “Good morning!” he said.

The other guys couldn’t believe it! They said, “Man, what happened? How come you got such a good sleep when we didn’t?”

He said, “Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Steve into bed and kissed him goodnight.

He sat up and watched me all night long!”
