This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Poppy as a nationally recognized symbol of Remembrance. Camrose Legion poppy chair Adrian Zinck pins one of the iconic symbols (an important fundraiser for injured Veterans and their families) on Ragnar Gislason. Ragnar completed two tours of duty in Europe and has been a very active member of the Camrose Branch. He was a driving force behind the creation of the Camrose cenotaph project.

were far worse. On November 11, we owe it to the over 100,000 fellow Canadians who died fighting for our future freedom. We can collectively do this by taking a break from daily living and pausing to deeply reflect on their sacrifice. Let us not forget the dedication of those who served and, thankfully, survived the likes of World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the War in Iraq. Remembrance Day is also an opportunity to express heartfelt appreciation to the brave men and women who continue to represent our free and democratic country through ongoing peacekeeping and emergency roles around the globe.

Pause. Give Thanks. Remember. Never Forget.

PRODUCTION

Movember celebrates men’s health By Lori Larsen

With the threat of snowy cold conditions, November can be somewhat of a hair-raising month, or for some, a hair-growing month in an effort to add a layer of warmth. This coincides perfectly with the annual Movember worldwide initiative to raise awareness on male health. Movember is the leading not-for-profit organization that specifically focuses on men’s mental health, suicide prevention and prostate and testicular cancer. Movember examines mental health through a male perspective, with a focus on prevention, early intervention and health promotion. According to the Canada Movember website ca.movember.com, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day around the world and in Canada, three out of four suicides are men. Through education, conversation, services aimed at helping men, bringing bright minds and community together and advocating for men, Movember hopes to reduce the rate of male suicides by 25 per cent by the year 2030. According to the Movember website, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men globally, and more

than 1.4 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. In Canada, one in nine men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Currently in Canada, over 205,000 men are living with and beyond prostate cancer. Many are dealing with serious side effects from treatment. These numbers are astounding, which is why Movember is focusing on groundbreaking research and global scientific collaboration to advance prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young Canadian men. While the odds for survival from testicular cancer are greater than 95 per cent, the longterm treatment-related side effects for some men severely compromises their quality of life. Through early action, bringing bright minds together, tackling biology, reducing side effects and advocating for affordable, tailored treatments that focuses on precision care, Movember is setting a goal to half the number of men dying from prostate or testicular cancer, and half the number of men facing serious ongoing side effects from treatment by the year 2030.

People of all walks of life around the world, including Camrose, are showing their support in the campaign to bring awareness and “changing the face” of men’s health. For more information on Movember and how you can get involved, visit the website at ca.movember. com. If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, call the Canada Suicide Prevention Service at 1-833-456-4566.

Anger: dangerous master, useful servant

“I’ve been in a rage all my life. For most of my life, I didn’t know it.” Ruth King said that on page one of her book called Healing Rage: Women Making Inner Peace Possible. She had my attention. For most of my life, I’ve been frightened of anger. For much of my life, I didn’t recognize my own anger. I actually believed that I didn’t get angry. So why am I talking about anger? Well, I’ve had a few cranky moments lately. Plus, I notice I’m not the only one who seems a little more testy than usual. ***

As a child, I was terrified of other people’s anger. Whether at home, at school or in the community, I witnessed two kinds of anger (probably more, but this is what I remember). Cool controlled anger, cutting words spoken in a level tone, stabbed me to the heart. Those words made me feel like a defective human being and consumed with shame. Hot explosive anger, shouting and hitting, immobilized me with terror, made me want to disappear, and left me shattered for days. I suspect the grown-ups in my life had no idea of their impact. As an adult, I too have expressed anger in both these ways. Some of the things I most regret are words or actions taken in anger. ***

Here are four things I know now that I didn’t when I was a child. Anger is just a form of energy. As a child, I could not distinguish between the anger itself, and the words or actions people used to express their anger. But–whether electricity or nuclear energy or human emotion–forms of energy are neutral. How you use the energy is what makes the difference. For example, nuclear energy can provide heat and light to millions of people–a gift. Nuclear energy can kill millions of people and destroy and contaminate everything in its path–a travesty. Anger can fuel motivation to right injustices and solve problems. Anger can fuel motivation to harm people or even kill them. The anger itself is not the issue. It’s how the anger is used. Anger is a secondary emotion. Before the anger, there was something else–fear or grief or pain–and then we quickly shifted to anger. Looking at what came before the anger gives us a clue to parts of our lives that could use some extra attention. The less time we spend blaming others or blaming circumstances, the more we can discover the places where we have the power to make useful changes. Each of us is responsible for what we do with our anger. Part of being a grown-up is taking full responsibility for our words and actions. Nobody “makes” us do or say anything. Out-of-control anger? I have experienced those flashes of rage when it almost feels as if some other power has taken over my body. I do not believe it was impossible to control my words or actions, even in those moments. A counsellor who works with men who have been violent towards their wives or girlfriends told me how he responds when a client says, “I was so mad I couldn’t stop myself.” Counsellor: “Mmm. Do you have a boss?” Client: “Yeah.” Counsellor: “Have you ever been mad at your boss?” Client: “Yeah.” Counsellor: “Have you ever hit your boss?” Client: “Are you crazy? No.” Counsellor: “Ah. So sometimes you can control it.” Anger is a great wake-up call. Our anger alerts us to what matters to us, to things we may have ignored. We can acknowledge the anger, find safe ways to feel and express it, and then go to work to make positive changes in our lives and the lives of those around us. ***

I was disappointed in the question asked in the referendum about the time change. We were given only one choice: daylight time year-round or continue changing our clocks. If the provincial government wanted to know what we thought about the matter, there should have been three choices: keep the time change, stay on standard time, or stay on daylight time. I voted no to the question of staying on daylight time, not because I want to change my clocks twice a year, but because I think we should stay on standard time. I suspect others voted like I did. The argument was made that BC has already decided to stay on daylight time. Why should that determine what we do? Saskatchewan is on permanent standard time. If we stay on standard time and BC moves to permanent daylight time, that just means we wouldn’t have to change our clocks when traveling to BC –the mountain time zone would extend to the coast, just like the central time zone extends to BC in the summer when we are on daylight time. Some have said there would be a two-hour time change to BC if we stayed on standard time. The only way that could happen is if we stayed on daylight time and BC stayed on standard time. Western Canadian time zones are already skewed in a westerly direction. Mountain time begins in mid-Saskatchewan, but the province has decided to move it to the Alberta border, so the folks in western Saskatchewan are already de facto on central daylight time. Mountain time extends in Alberta to the BC border, so our western communities are also in virtual daylight time when we are on standard time. Why would we choose to send our kids to school in the dark in December and January with a 9:30 a.m. sunrise when we don’t have to? At our latitude, our summer nights are bright even in standard time, and standard time keeps us closer to our body clocks in the winter. I would like to see another referendum with that choice made available. Stephen P. Kristenson, Camrose

Different stories

Sometimes you hear two different stories that seem to have nothing in common, but then something clicks and you get that “ah” moment. This happened to me recently while listening to an interview with a woman celebrating her 80th birthday. She was asked a series of questions, one of which was, “Name something you still have from your childhood.” Without missing a beat, she answered, “My memories.” I loved that. Then the news came on with yet another story about supply chain challenges, and warnings to get our Christmas shopping done early to avoid disappointment. That’s when the click came. This year, I am not going to worry about empty shelves and delayed shipments. This year, I am going to give the gift of experiences and I encourage others to do the same. We are so fortunate here in Camrose to have the Bailey Theatre and the Lougheed Theatre, both with excellent live events. There are also wonderful local restaurants, salons and other service providers. The hospitality and service sectors have been hit so hard by the pandemic and they really need the support, especially if we want them to survive. Picking up tickets to a show, a gift of dinner out or a spa day is so easy and can be one of the most thoughtful gifts, especially when shared with a loved one. And the best part? It is a gift that creates memories that can be kept forever without ever having to dust it, move it or replace the batteries. Celia M. Leathwood, Camrose Small towns

It’s no news that, sadly, many small towns are dying. But perhaps it should be news to them that the majority of Alberta’s population lives in the two big urban centres and those municipalities have just rejected dysfunctional conservative politicians in favor of those with more progressive collaborative attitudes. If you are born in a stubbornly conservativevoting rural area, you are probably accustomed to backwards belligerent

small-minded politics. That is why so many move away from small centres, and few are drawn to deliberately move to a backwards-thinking place if they don’t have to. In other words, it is conservative politics that are killing rural areas, and I am suggesting that, before rural folks whine about their dwindling populations, whether they like it or not, they need to address the reality of how dysfunctional and unproductive conservative politics are in this modern world. And perhaps open their minds to the possibility that there are better ways to be governed. Evone Monteith, Camrose Anti-Albertan

So the Steve Allan public inquiry is out and energy minister Sonya Savage says it shows that some Alberta charities are engaging in anti-Albertan activities. But according to Steve Allan himself: “To be very clear, I have not found any suggestions of wrongdoing on the part of any individual or organization. No individual or organization, in my view, has done anything illegal. Indeed, they have exercised their rights of free speech.” So what did we learn for the $3.5 million tax money we spent on the public inquiry that never held any public hearings? We learned that some environmental groups who are concerned about climate change and our health have spent time and money legally exercising their right of free speech to campaign against the oilsands and pipelines. According to the Pembina Institute, one of the charities targeted by the Allan Inquiry: “Since oilsands mining operations started in 1967, 1.3 trillion litres of fluid tailings has accumulated in these open ponds on the Northern Alberta landscape. This is enough toxic waste to fill 400,000 Olympic swimming pools.” Why is caring about our health and the health of our environment considered antiAlbertan? Rob Hill, Camrose

Remembrance Day service history By Murray Green

Canadian veterans have served throughout history in a broad range of conflicts and situations from world wars to peacekeeping missions to crises on the home front. The Royal Canadian Legion is committed to honouring and remembering all veterans, whether they kept the peace or fought for peace. Camrose will be holding a service on November 11 at 10:45 a.m. in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. The Legion honours and supports veterans of Canada from all wars recent and past including: the South African War from 1899 to 1902, First World War from 1914 to 1918, Second World War from 1939 to 1945, Korean War from 1950 to 1953, Persian Gulf War from 1990 to 1991, and the Afghanistan War from 2001 to 2014. Canadian veterans have protected the rights and freedoms through peacekeeping missions. The Legion supports veterans of missions including Lebanon, Somalia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Haiti, Sudan and others. Many Canadian veterans have played a critical role in protecting Canadians on the home front. Whether from fires, floods or other threats, these men and women have risked their lives for our safety and protection. The Legion also understands the sacrifices of military families,

the fathers, sons, mothers and daughters who have endured alongside Canadian veterans. The Legion strives to support those families through a range of programs and referral services. The Legion acknowledges the end of conflicts and does not commemorate the start of conflicts. Every year on November 11, the Legion recognizes all of Canada’s veterans, serving and retired, and commemorates our Fallen, including the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, Peace Officers, Merchant Navy and Reserves. On that day, they also honour the families and their losses. This year, we mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy (France) to open the way to Germany from the west. Victory in the Normandy campaign came at a terrible cost. The Canadians suffered the most casualties of any division in the British Army Group. “The flotilla, which transported the 150,000 troops, including 14,000 brave Canadians, across the English Channel, was made up of 5,300 vessels, and 109 were from the Royal Canadian Navy and included HMCS Camrose and 10,000 Canadian sailors,” said Camrose branch Sgt. at Arms Lloyd Dool. “The Royal Canadian Air Force provided air cover for the flotilla, as well as bombing strategic targets behind enemy lines.”

War amputee veterans The story of The War Amps began 100 years ago. Of the thousands of Canadian soldiers who were wounded while serving in the First and Second World Wars, many returned home missing limbs. United by a common bond of amputation, these veterans not only served their country during wartime, but they made a difference in the lives of generations of amputees that continues today. In 1916, on the battlefields at Ypres in Northern

Belgium, Sidney Lambert (1887-1971), a Lieutenant Colonel and Army Padre, lost his left leg above the knee. While recovering at a hospital in Toronto, Lambert conceived of the idea of a national association to bring together, support and fight the battles for amputee veterans, which today is known as The War Amps. In 1920, he became the first Dominion president of the association and worked tirelessly to bring veterans’ issues before the government.

This show of support and display of remembrance would not be possible without the efforts of thousands of Legionnaires and Cadets who volunteer to distribute poppies to the community through schools, community organizations and local businesses. Legion branches inform the public of the

results of their Poppy Campaign and how donations were disbursed over the following year. Dominion Command also releases aggregate national Poppy Campaign figures. If you are looking for poppies, contact the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion until November 11.

Poppy Campaign supports local community projects By Murray Green

Every year, on the last Friday of October (October 29) to November 11, millions of Canadians wear a poppy as a visual pledge to honour Canada’s veterans and remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the

poppy. While the poppy is distributed freely to all who wish to wear one, the Legion gratefully accepts donations to the Poppy Fund. The Poppy Campaign is very much a local initiative, conducted by Legion Branches in cities, towns and communities across the country, including Cam-

rose. Donations collected during the Poppy Campaign are held in Trust at the branch level to directly support veterans and their families within their community and to help ensure Canadians never forget. In the days leading up to November 11, poppies can be seen in every corner of this great country.

Legion presents first poppy

November 30th to December 4th

By Murray Green

Alberta-NWT Command of the Royal Canadian Legion presented the first poppy of 2021 in Alberta to Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Salma Lakhani during a ceremony at Government House in Edmonton. “The poppy is an enduring expression of our gratitude to the Canadians in uniform, who bravely served through the decades,” said Lieutenant Governor Lakhani. “It is a tangible way for each of us to let our veterans and families of the fallen know that we care. While some of our Remembrance activities may be different this year due to pandemic restrictions, wearing a poppy is something that we all can do to show our support.” “The pinning of the first poppy is an important tradition for veterans and the Royal Canadian Legion,” said John Mahon, president, Alberta-NWT Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. “It is a symbolic gesture to present the first poppy to the crown’s representative in Alberta, and serves to commemorate the efforts and sacrifices of all veterans in their service to Canada.” This year marks the 100th anniversary of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, and its lasting legacy is one that reminds all Canadians to pause and reflect on the lives lost and efforts made by veterans on their behalf for more than a century. The poppy is also a powerful symbol to encourage youth to remember.

Guest Editorial

Price of freedom By Arnold Malone

For many things, we attach a value. A new car is $45,000, and a toaster oven is $140. A dollar value can’t be attached to freedom. If there is any doubt, ask the women of Afghanistan. Would $10 million compensate for having to stay in your house until given permission to leave, never allowed to be educated, or unable to use your skills in meaningful activities? What value is money without freedom? In 2019, Susan and I took a European trip of a lifetime. We toured many military sites in North Europe. We were at war cemeteries in the Netherlands, Germany, crossed Belgium (Flanders) and walked the First World War and Second World War landing beaches on the shores of Northern France. The skyscraping monument at Vimy Ridge is a reminder of the enormous sacrifice that Canadians made during the First World War, and it is a striking marker for Canada’s entry into nationhood. We visited a war cemetery in Germany and stood by the graveside of my cousin who, as a child, I had known. On his headstone was his age: 23. Other members of his family had the privilege of living full and productive lives. His was given in the struggle for freedom. He was not alone. There are 63 Canadian war cemeteries in Europe. Row upon row of young men and women lost forever. It is a long walk across the length and breadth of these cemeteries. We whispered our heavy thoughts as we walked beside those youthful saviours of our freedom. I have no idea how much freedom is worth, but anyone who has ever visited a military cemetery will forever know the price we paid. Given their sacrifice, we owe so much for our present privileges. In the new war museum near Groesbeek, Netherlands, we witnessed the horror of war. Among our experience was being in a simulated bomb shelter. We opened the heavy door and went inside. On either side, there were long bench seats. Only Susan and I were in the shelter. On the wall was a button beside the word start. We pushed the button. For nearly a minute, there was only silence, then we heard the faint drone of a far-off fleet of aircraft. While scarcely audible, it was obvious we were hearing the sound of an incoming fleet of bombers. In time, we began to hear the muffled sound of distant bombs exploding. As minutes passed, the impact of bombs drew closer. The sounds grew louder and the shelter began to quiver. The lights flickered and then went out. The bombing mission continued until we were in the midst of direct hits with bombs exploding above us. We were in the dark. The shelter shook violently. The percussion sounds of the loud explosions tortured our ears. The feeling of being attacked seemed real. There were continuing rapid explosions as direct hits shattered our surroundings. A person could not help but feel fear, even though it was only an enactment of war. If we sensed fear, then imagine what a real war-time experience would be like. In time, the sound of planes began to retreat. The bombing became muffled, then vanished. As we left the bomb shelter, we walked out into the rest of the museum and Susan said, “Consider, that in a real war, people would not return into a museum, but rather see their city devastated.” The fight for freedom has come with such a heavy price and now, upon each of us, lays a heavy burden. We too must be vigilant in defending freedom. Those brave persons must not have died in vain, lest we forget.

War can change everything By Tim Parker

This is an excerpt from a letter written by my father, Stuart Parker, in 2004, when he was 87 years old. The letter is part of an application he was making to receive a Disability Pension for his service in the Second World War. He had never considered that he might be eligible for this until a friend suggested he apply. There are two things of note in the letters he wrote concerning this. The first is the dramatic change that he underwent in his time in the war. The second is the list of wartime events that contributed to his loss of physical and mental health. I spent a lot of time talking to him about his wartime experiences, but there are many things in this letter that he, in his customary reluctance to talk about the war, never disclosed. I’m glad I finally got to see the letters. At the start of the war, he was in prime condition, mentally and physically alike. After attending the University of Toronto, during which time he was the intercollegiate lightweight boxing champion for three years, he then completed two years of Law School at Osgoode Hall, where he was elected Head of Year. In 1939, he immediately volunteered in the 48th Highlanders and then spent two years in Kingston, taking officer training. He went to England in 1942 as a Captain in the Canadian Intelligence and immediately began work as a code breaker who followed German Luftwaffe radio traffic. Following this, he was seconded to General Montgomery’s staff and had a role in planning the wireless operations involved before, during, and after D-Day. Here is how he described the before and after: “When it started, I was 22 years old, in prime physical and mental condition, with an academic career ahead of me and to fast-track into the diplomatic service. When it ended, I was 29 years old, married, with very little money, in chronic pain, suffering from several physical disabilities, and also severe emotional or psychological disabilities, which, in those days, received no particular attention. When I tried to complete my third year at Osgoode Hall Law School in 1946, I found I was no longer able to study systematically, nor to concentrate and absorb lectures, and worst of all, I panicked during examinations. As a result, I barely managed to scrape through that final year.” As for the second part, the many events that he experienced are what appear in the following excerpt from his letter: “I can recall and recount a number of things that happened to me during

my military service which contributed to my disabilities and later problems. To begin with, there was the great pressure to which we were subjected to turn us from civilians, at home in Canada, into highly trained combatant soldiers overseas, all in a short period of time. In my case, it was three months of violent basic training, six months of intensive, specialized intelligence training including wireless technology and cryptology; then specialized field training including mechanized transport of all kinds. And finally the practical application of all that training—tackling code and cipher breaking, interrogating of high ranking German prisoners in London and all aspects of security at the highest level. Throughout this period of training and initiation squeezed into relatively few months, we were experiencing, along with so many others, the excitement of racing to avoid the U-boat wolf packs at seas, and being constantly bombed and shot at on land. I was promoted and given the job of mobilizing the 2nd Canadian B-Type wireless interception unit, which I commanded and operated for nearly two years. Concern for life and death were always present. When I first took my unit to the south coast, I lost a driver immediately, blown up by a land mine on the beach. Our high antennae, usually mounted on prominent sites, continually attracted bombing and strafing by enemy aircraft. On one occasion, a bomb targeted on our building and installation hit the ground 20

or 30 yards in front of the building and bounced right over us, exploding on the other side. On another occasion, when working with a bomb disposal squad, which had dug down six or more feet to expose the nose of an unexploded bomb, we were strafed by a Messerschmitt fighter and were forced to take cover in the hole, standing on the unexploded bomb. In Rotterdam, Holland, my jeep was blown up by a V2. On one occasion, the windows of my residence were blown in and on another, the house next door, a nunnery, was hit by a string of fire bombs and I spent the night on the roof with a stirrup pump and a small hammer trying to extinguish the flames and remove bombs, while the air raid continued all around us. Along with my wife, who operated a field canteen, we attended at numerous newly bombed sites to tend to the wounded. The pressure of the W/T intercept and code breaking work could also be considered a contributing factor to my disabilities or obsession, whatever they may be. For nearly two years, we kept on the move, backwards and forwards across the south coast of England, to the locations we could get the best reception of the enemy wireless traffic that we were covering, most in part in the backs of trucks under smoky and noisy conditions. Nearly everyone smoked in those days. Continued on page 11

Continued from page 10

My eyes were quite allergic to the smoke and required frequent treatments. The code breaks would be sent by dispatch riders to GHQ Home Forces twice a day. This went on hour after hour, day in and day out, for nearly two years. I signed every report. While working under General Montgomery in the 21st Army Group in the spring 1944, I had the experience of planning for D-Day and then waiting in the form-up areas for my time to embark and make it to the Normandy beach head. Once ashore, we slept in shallow, wet slit trenches and fought along the hedgerows of Normandy until the breakout at Falaise. Then we moved very fast east along the north coast of France, continuously on the trail of the retreating German Army until we reached Brussels. We were held up at the Sheldt Estuary during the winter of 1944-45, but eventually broke through to northern Holland. In Amsterdam, my jeep was blown up by a V2. During this time, I made several trips in the baggage holds of small aircraft, without air pressure or heat, noisy, with no insulation, ferrying intelligence equipment from France to Belgium and United Kingdom. On one occasion, our small plane landed in Biggin

Hill Airport in deep snow, which caught the landing gear and tipped the plane forward almost onto the propellers. Fortunately, it righted itself. On a return trip, we got completely lost in a dense fog and made an emergency landing on a rough corrugated surface,

a mile short of our destination and had to improvise the rest of the trip. I was also involved in a motorcycle accident in Holland, which left me with permanent injuries to my neck, back and right knee.” He lived with pain much of his life.

Bailey Theatre moves forward

By Murray Green

The Bailey Theatre Society’s annual general meeting allowed its executives to go over the annual report to the community. Considering the Bailey was closed for 10 of the 12 months covering its year (August to July), it had some success. “It was a time of challenge and despair, not just for us but everybody. We were happy to have two renters at the time, Spotlight Bistro and the Farmers’ Market. It was impor-

tant to revisit what was important to us. We wanted to keep our relationships with people,” said president Barb Stroh. “We did a lot of worrying about money, but we did a lot of grant writing and some people really came forward for us.” The society not only looked at the structure of its volunteers, but rearranged its focus around people, programs, heritage and finance. “We have 111 volunteers on my list and that includes two new volun-

Prior to immersion, this edition was finished in oak barrels that were used to produce the complex and velvety wines of the Grand Cru Classé Château Pape Clément (Bordeaux). The result is an extraordinarily rich, unique tannin and exceptional smoothness, complemented by warm, spicy notes.

Being a Bailey Theatre Society member has its benefits. “We examined the benefits of being a member, and we decided to add a promo code so they can see announcements ahead of time and be able to purchase tickets prior to going on sale as a one-time only thing,” added Colleen, secretary and on the People team. “This just happened and members were able to purchase advanced tickets to the Tom Jackson show. That is a wonderful honour.” Colleen mentioned that the staff has been great, while working through the down times. “Through a grant from the Battle River Community Foundation, we were able to purchase equipment to have live-streaming. People could watch as home if they didn’t feel safe going to a live event,” shared Barb. “That gave us three stationary cameras. We are hoping to upgrade the system to give us five cameras, because we think there is a market for it.” The Bailey had limited success on showing movies. “It was more of a signal of the fact we were open,” said Barb. “We also coordinated the music for the Downtown Farmers’ Market.” The Bailey started a talent show under the thought that it would be virtual. However, a final show was held in front of an audience. “We did what we could on celebrating the 110 years of the original Bailey Theatre, in the Booster,” said Colleen. “Now after 10 years, we are starting to find things that need repairing.” The board thanked Carman Mason, as he stepped down after years of service. He will still be involved in the Bailey with the Calendar Club. The board also welcomed new members Dariya Veenstra, Dan Olofson, Jessica Dostie and Melissa MacGregor. They join Leslie Lindballe, Celia Leathwood, Nelson, Mike Hicks, Stroh, Tammy Johnson, David Francouer, David Roth and David Samm.

Jackson returns By Murray Green

Tom Jackson kickstarts the holiday season with grace, style and quirky festivity that many have enjoyed for decades. Expect an evening of original music, sing-along tunes and signature Christmas music from this master storyteller. He 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. Don’t expect a Black Friday, because the audience will enjoy some of his in-person charm on Friday, November 26. A companion of the Order of Canada, Juno and Gemini Humanitarian Award winner, 11-time honourary degree recipient, and a proud bearer of the 2014 Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement, Tom is noted for his ability to mobilize others into action–often leading with a hug. The Bailey Theatre is partnering with Camrose Neighbor Aid to collect much needed food items for the Food Bank during the month of November. Everyone is encouraged to bring food item donations to the show and any other events in November.

Changing Ways is changing lives

LIGHTS OF HOPE

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

In a show of support for the Camrose Women’s Shelter and in an effort to bring about more awareness on Family Violence Prevention Month, the lights on the trees lining 50th Street in Downtown Camrose have been purple, symbolizing hope for those impacted by domestic violence. Photo to right: Downtown Camrose board chair Jody McDougall, left, joins Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear, recognizing the work of all the organizations in Camrose dedicated to helping those affected by domestic violence. By Lori Larsen

Camrose Changing Ways (formerly Family Violence Action Society) is providing a wholistic approach to providing support through counselling, programs and services to people who have experienced violence or trauma. “Our goals are the same as always,” noted Changing Ways program director Shannon Stolee. “We help and support people who have been impacted by violence or trauma, and almost everyone can connect to this because we have all been impacted by trauma in one way or another.” The change in name was to better reflect what the organization does as a whole. “Our name is more positive and focuses more on what we do. It is more inclusive of every demographic in society.” According to Stolee, Changing Ways’ new format will consist of two main areas. Stolee’s position as program director will be responsible for the administration of the organization, and a social worker position will be responsible for counselling and client support. Programs offered at Changing Ways include: Child and Youth Counselling, Anger Management, Choices, Solid Ground and Taking Action Against Elder Abuse. “People are experiencing bigger difficulties and challenges, such as a lack of ability to purchase the basics such as shelter, food and fuel,” said Stolee. “Calls are coming in and it is all connected, which shows there are bigger problems than Camrose has ever seen that are coming through our doors right now.” Over the past 23

months, all people have been impacted in one way or another by the pandemic. As a result, organizations such as Changing Ways have been experiencing a higher call volume. People may not necessarily be attending the office in person due to restrictions imposed by COVID or for their own personal reasons, but they are reaching out. “The mental health impact on us is huge, families have been isolated– they are alone at home, they can’t socialize, they fear getting COVID if they do go out. Anger starts to rise and tempers flare and situations at home start to escalate.” The unfortunate result may include family violence, which not only impacts the people being abused, but the abusers themselves. Programs such as Anger Management, Solid Ground and Choices offer avenues for both the abused and abusers, including counselling and education on what healthy relationships look like, then supports the individuals with methods to affect positive change, transform and move forward. Maureen Keeley, program support worker for Changing Ways, works with people in all sides of a violent relationship. “We not only offer support in the beginning and throughout the programs, such as Solid Ground, but we provide follow-up after and encourage them to continue with other programs or attend the group program again. “It is never to late for someone to try and better themselves and break the cycle.” New to Changing

Ways are the older adult abuse support services. With funding support from Taking Action Against Elder Abuse Alberta (Alberta Seniors and Housing), Changing Ways is part of a one-year pilot program initiated by the province that saw the hiring of 16 case managers across the province (one in Camrose). Heading up the program in Camrose is Changing Ways Case manager Kari Cameron, who is responsible for helping unravel the complexities of abuse against older adults and providing community awareness. “Some older adults over the age of 55 may be experiencing difficulties with power and control and abuse in a relationship,” said Cameron. “We can help.” For the most part, the mandate of the program is to build awareness, counsel and educate older adults on what abuse looks like, how to seek help and how to make decisions that best suit their own personal wants and needs. “When they know better, they will do better and it is their choice. There may be nothing we can do in Changing Ways until they decide it is their choice,” explained Cameron. Stolee added that the biggest criteria with which to work, especially in elder abuse, is to recognize where the power and control is in the relationships. Cameron said that meeting older adults where it best suits them and having gentle conversations to find out what they are thinking about their situations and what type of understanding they have is imperative. “I am in the City and the County, and I can do

home visits to meet the clients. To meet them in their homes is very empowering for them. It relieves any social anxiety they may be experiencing about coming into the office.” Cameron also has the support and backup of other organizations and agencies such as Camrose and District Victim Services, RCMP, Camrose Police Service and SOS. “Now that we have a coordinated intake process, it is about sending in a referral. Then I will bring in the information to make a network. It will make the entire process smoother.” Understanding that abuse impacts all members of the family including children, Changing Ways dedicates programs and services, including Child & Youth Counselling, to assist children. “There is a whole generation that is growing up during this pandemic,” said Stolee, adding that it has proven and continues to be a source of trauma for them. “Our program offers one-on-one counselling, and it is really hitting the mark with children aged six to 12 years old.” Stolee said that counselling is also available for youth through The Open Door. “There is such a huge gap for affordable accessible counselling for children right now, so we

are glad we are able to help fill that.” Changing Ways is also collaborating with other community partners to raise awareness, offer education and provide much needed support. “Our mandate is to provide help for men, women and children to understand family violence, gain healthier relationship skills and move forward.” In recognition of Family Violence Month (November), Changing Ways will be partnering with the Camrose Women’s Shelter on November 17 for a virtual presentation of the annual Breakfast With the Guys, Speaker Mike Cameron, a influential businessman whose fiancée was murdered by an exboyfriend, will be speaking about the role of men and masculinity. Tickets are also available to those who can show proof of vaccination to have breakfast at Overtime Taphouse and watch the presentation there. For more information on the programs and services available at Changing Ways or on the November 17 event, visit the Camrose and District Support Services website at camrosefcss.ca or contact the office at the new location at 4821-51 Street or by telephone at 780-672-0141.

BRCF grants Bailey Theatre Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant of $1,500 to the Bailey Theatre Society to assist with the cost of repair of the historic theatre façade. The grant is from the Foundation’s Community Funds, a group of Funds established by generous residents of the Battle River region, who allow the Foundation Board to review project and program applications from local charities annually and award grants. The Battle River Com-

munity Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local

projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,550,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Restored 1929 Ford returns memories By Murray Green

Walter Pickles of Castor owns a 1929 Model A Ford that he drives to car shows across Alberta throughout the summer. “This car was advertised in (a western farming) paper and was in Regina. So some friends of mine and I drove to Regina on a Sunday to look at this car and if we had any sense at all, we would have left it there,” said Mr. Pickles. “Anyway, we brought it home and it sat in a granary for many years. Well, 25 years at least. So then in 2018, I decided to fix it up. I’m not a body man, so I had the body work done by someone else. I did a lot of the work in my own shop,” he continued. “It would have been a lot cheaper to just walk away from it. The body was pushed in about a foot and it was narrower than it should have been. Other than that, I bought an engine that was slightly modified internally. You can’t tell the difference on the outside,” he explained. “It has insert bearings, a new crankshaft, flywheel and those kinds of things,” said Mr. Pickles. “I thought the car show was on a certain weekend, but I had the wrong week, so I drove 65 miles each way for nothing. But, I decided to do it again because we haven’t had very many car shows over the past two years.” Generally, insert bearings are standard radial bearings that have been

adapted to fit into a housing. Although they are generally sold with the housing, these bearings may also be purchased as stand-alone products to use as replacements. He restored the vehicle to reflect the 1929 year in which it was produced. “I tried to keep as much

FUN FACTS

These were working-class cars that were affordable and stylish, but still available to the regular guy. Basic black was, of course, Henry Ford’s favourite color, but other colours were available. Ford was building hundreds of thousands of Model A vehicles, and records show that more than 240,000 two-door sedans were built in 1929, making it the most popular model by far. The three-speed manual transmission requires a light touch and a quick double-clutch to grab gears, something quickly mastered with the easy-going nature. The Model A in 1929 showcased a new three-speed transmission, four-wheel mechanical brakes, and hydraulic shock absorbers. It also featured an electric starter, speedometer, gas gauge and water pump. It sported a four-cylinder that produced 40 horsepower and 128 foot pounds of torque. The Model A also introduced Triplex safety glass that was designed to avoid shattering upon impact.

as original as possible, but make it roadworthy as well. I have always liked Model A cars. I have three of them. My first one was when I was in Grade 8, about 1960. I told my dad I wanted to get an old car. “He said, ‘Well, let’s see if we can find a Model A.’ The neighbour across the road had one and he wasn’t using it anymore. It had the body taken off of it and a flatbed put on it. So $25 later, I was a Model A owner,” Mr. Pickles recalled. “It used a lot of oil. You could never get lost with it because it would leave a trail of smoke wherever you went. I’m a member of the Model A Club in Calgary, and about 12 years ago or so, my wife spotted another car with a ‘For Sale’ sign on it. She said, ‘You better buy that one because it is in better shape.’ So I did,” he said. “I drove that one home. This car brings back a lot of memories for me. I put a rumble seat in this and

I had forgotten that you can’t put anyone bigger than a little child in it,” said Mr. Pickles. “I really enjoyed building it. I don’t drive very often, but I enjoy it when

I do. This car has a fourcylinder Ford engine, 200-cubic inch, the original motor. It has a regular three-speed transmission that shifts fairly easy.”

Issues: extremists, caps, results

TIRES. BRAKES. OIL. EVERYTHING.

By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

Since my last column, there has been a host of concerns that have flooded the Canadian political scene that have a specific impact on the lives of the folks here in Battle River-Crowfoot. I generally try to keep columns focused on one issue, but this week there are three issues I feel needed to be addressed. First: Justin Trudeau shuffled his cabinet after his unnecessary election. One of the big changes was appointing Steven Guilbeault as Canada’s environment minister. The words I use to describe this Liberal Environment Minister are strong, but unfortunately accurate…he is a criminal activist, extremist ideologue and incompetent minister. A close personal friend of Justin Trudeau, he is focused on implementing a radical agenda to shut down Canada’s energy sector, which will put hundreds of thousands out of work. He is also the architect of Bill C-10, a Bill from the last Parliament to which he admitted: “would censor part of the Internet.” He has now made it clear his radical ideas will define his role as environment minister. Second: Trudeau, and a large contingent of activists, travelled to COP26, a global meeting on how the world should address the challenges of climate change. Canada is a country that finds solutions, yet he made the declaration that Canada will cap and bring about a reduction in emissions on oil and gas in Canada. This is the country’s most valuable industry and the one that has already shown that we lead the world in reducing emissions while demand continues to soar and many nations are facing energy shortages. This comes down to something quite simple: Trudeau is attacking my constituents, the hundreds of thousands of Albertans who work in the energy industry, Alberta’s prosperity and the ability for our nation to succeed. Third: Alberta made a statement on October 18 by voting to “remove the principle of equalization from the constitution.” This bold statement speaks to how the Liberal government’s policies have destroyed Alberta’s ability to succeed… policies that put Albertans out of work, limit opportunities, and destroy our quality of life, not only for Albertans, but for all Canadians. Now, high-profile Liberals are complaining that Alberta is playing politics with equalization; I have made it clear that to Albertans this is not playing politics…this is personal. These three issues are challenges we face...for the past six years, the Liberal government has had no issue forcing their policies on Canadians, while framing it as doing something noble, but rather than leading our nation, they are obsessed with dividing Canadians for narrow political ends. You can count on Canada’s Conservatives to fight against this Liberal agenda and for what’s right. It is an honour to be able to serve as your Member of Parliament, even in the midst of these challenging circumstances. Finally, I do want to encourage all Canadians to take time on Remembrance Day to attend, in person or virtually, a service honouring those who fought for our freedom. While we face significant issues as a nation, they pale in comparison to the challenges faced by those who put their lives on the line for our nation. Let us take time to remember. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column you are encouraged to write Damien at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780.608.4600, text 403-575-5625 email damien. kurek@parl.gc.ca, or on social media @dckurek.

Vikings ready for new season By Murray Green

T he Aug usta na Vikings hockey team has waited a long time to start a new season. Captain Jarod Hovde and his teammates have been working hard to prepare for a shortened 202122 season. “We are excited to get back on the ice, and for our home opener as well,” said Jarod, about the long wait. “It is definitely a learning curve for our team. We have to work hard in practice and really gel together on the ice, as well as outside of the rink.” Augustana cancelled its hockey season last year due to COVID-19. “We want to put what we have learned into our games. We have had enough time now to prepare and get ourselves ready. With the shortened season, we have to be ready right out of the gate. We have to be flying right away to be successful, because we won’t

have time to make up lost points.” The other teams have lost a lot of players over the past two years as well. “We have to trust our teammates, the guys beside us, and trust our coach that he is telling us the right things to do out there and play our game. I believe that if we buy into our coach’s systems and the way he wants us to play, we will be successful out on the ice,” said the captain, who is from Camrose. “I think we are being coached to our strengths as a team. Our strengths are speed and work ethic, so if we can play fast and outwork the other team, be aggressive, I believe those are our strengths to propel us to win games,” explained Jarod. “Special teams are very important because they can win or lose you games. We are working hard on that with new faces intermingled with veterans on

our penalty kill and power play. We will have some adaptations along the way, depending on our opponent. We just need to strive on doing what we need to do,” added Jarod. “I like to be a leader who leads by example. I listen to my teammates and I put myself out there every single night to lead the guys and hopefully they follow my lead,” he continued. It wasn’t long ago that Jarod was the rookie. “Things move along quite quickly. My university career has flown by, it seems like. I’m trying to make the most of it and enjoy myself too. One of the things I missed most last year was being around the team atmosphere, so I’m taking it all in and enjoying my time here.” The Vikings host Concordia Thunder to start the season on November 12 at the Recreation Centre beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Pennies for poppies By Murray Green

Seasons Retirement Communities in Camrose launched its annual Pennies for Poppies Fundraiser ahead of Remembrance Day in support of local veterans. From November 1 to 11, Seasons communities across Alberta will be fundraising for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign through each community’s local Legion. Since 2016, Seasons has collaborated with Royal Canadian Legions in the communities where they operate to encourage residents, staff and visitors to donate money to the Poppy Campaign. As part of the campaign, Camrose has a garden display adorned with paper poppies to reinforce its commitment to honouring those who have fought for Canada and remember their stories.

“The annual Pennies for Poppies fundraiser is an important initiative for our community, especially for our residents who have lived through the World War and devoted their lives to service,” said Janet London, general manager at Seasons Retirement Communities in Camrose. “Our program is more than a fundraiser–it’s a reminder to never forget.” Self-serve poppy boxes will be available to guests and residents. Poppy donations go directly to providing financial assistance and support to veterans, including Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and their families who are in need. A Remembrance Day Service will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on November 11 beginning at 10:45 a.m.

The Camrose & Area Animal Shelter’s Challenge Chicken took to the streets and roosted at Centra Cam Recycling Centre, where it was joined by the staff of the Recycling Centre in a token “chicken dance”. By Lori Larsen

It’s not your imagination, Camrosians. If you think you have seen an oversized chicken running around town, you are not wrong. It has been spotted in several locations throughout the City, dancing and clucking up a storm, all in the name of a good cause–the Camrose & Area Animal Shelter. “The Camrose Animal Shelter is in desperate need for funds to feed and shelter over 100 animals,” said Shelter treasurer Lynn Horsman, “And the big chicken has come to the rescue. It is out in the community challenging businesses and individuals to dance the Chicken Dance or donate.” On November 5, the Centra Cam

Recycle Centre accepted the challenge, and they danced and donated. “We are so grateful,” said Horsman. But the music didn’t stop there. In support of the Camrose & Area Animal Shelter, employees of the Recycle Centre challenged Centra Cam Main Office and the Universal Bottle Depot to “Dance the Dance or Donate”. “Don’t be Chicken,” laughed Horsman, as she challenged other businesses and individuals in Camrose to “peck” up where Centra Cam Recycle left off and help out the pets.

Jarvis Christensen Wiuff

Louis Sereda Louis Sereda was born on December 22, 1928 in Kingman, Alberta. He passed away at St. Joseph’s Auxiliary Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, on October 31, 2021, at the age of 92 years. Louis’s education started at Farmington School, where he attended Grades 1 through 8, and then Grades 9 through 11 at the Kingman School. After completing his education, he took training as a Telegraph Operator in Fort Frances, Ontario. This training took him back to Alberta, where he was employed in Lloydminster, Smoky Lake, Elk Point and Redwater. He spoke very fondly of Smoky Lake, as it was a town that had many Ukrainian people with whom he felt most at home. Louis worked at this job for a time, but his yearning for more education took him to SAIT, where he received his Fireman and Steamfitter Class 4 ticket. Upon completing that, he moved on to become a mechanic for many years, working at several dealerships and retiring from Johnston Walker Sky Park. In his retirement years, he worked at the Royal Glenora Club in Edmonton, Alberta, where he was the maintenance man. He also maintained the Zambonis and spoke fondly of Kurt Browning, to whom he would speak on a daily basis about his training. He said Kurt would always stop to talk during his busy schedule. Upon retiring from the Royal Glenora Club, Louis became increasingly involved in the day-to-day altar care at St. Joseph’s Basilica, where he was a parishioner for many years. Louis was very dedicated to his faith and attended mass daily. Louis was also an avid sportsman. He enjoyed his weekend fishing excursions around many different Alberta lakes, but his favourite was Lake Wabamun. He went there so often that people who lived there knew his vehicle – his beloved 1955 Pontiac, which he had his entire life. Louis also loved to talk about guns and ammunition. He spent many years at his farm by Round Hill target practicing and sighting in his guns. He could talk for hours on end with his nephew Bob Kozack about the latest and greatest and also what to buy and what to avoid. Some weekend mornings, while visiting the Kozack farm, we would be awakened by the crack of gunfire. We didn’t worry, we knew who it was. Golfing was also his passion and Tiger Woods was his favourite golfer, whom he followed very closely, constantly checking his stats. Louis regularly spoke kindly of his family and reminisced about not having a family of his own. He loved children and was always eager to teach any young mind who would listen. Louis always reiterated the fact of how important education was, and he was curious about everything mathematical and structural. He was an avid reader right up to his passing. Louis loved books and believed you should never get rid of them. Keep them as a reminder and a reference, he would say. Louis’s memory lives on with his sisters Sophia Lynn of Sechelt, BC, and Rosie Kozack of Kingman, Alberta. His family also included many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Peter and Mary Sereda; and brothers-inlaw Albert Lynn and Joseph Kozack. Louis was a very kind and gentle man of faith, who worked very hard all his life. He was very fond of animals, especially cats, as they were his favourite. Towards the end of his life, he would often use the phrase, Vichnaya Pamyat – Memory Eternal. Most fitting!

August 9, 1925 ~ October 30, 2021 Dad was born on August 9, 1925, the fourth child of Alfred and Mabel (nee Christensen) Wiuff on the farm in Pipestone County, Minnesota. They moved near St. Paul, Minnesota when Jarvis was a teen, as his father became the caretaker of the Methodist Campground. He learned how to work from a young age on the farm, on the campgrounds and in a tree orchard. He also found time to be a Boy Scout, Sea Cadet, and loved playing football. Most importantly, he found a relationship with Jesus at the age of 14 because of a Sunday school teacher, who influenced his life over many years and helped him find his first church in Minnesota. In 1943, when he was in grade 12, he was sent off to boot camp just before Christmas. He almost lost his life due to an epidemic aboard the USS Ajax, but God spared his life. One of the rewards of serving his country was to be given an opportunity to attend college. He eventually made his way to Anderson, Indiana, where he got an education and found the love his life, Joyce Grandfield. Following their marriage, they served as pastors for the Church of God in South Edmonton; Bertha, Minnesota; and Drayton Valley, Alberta. While he was in Drayton Valley, he also taught at the Alberta Bible Institute, that later became Gardner College. They then moved their young family to Camrose, where he was dean of the Bible school and later, a social worker in Camrose. Working for Alberta Social Services took him to Blairmore, High Prairie, Edmonton and back to Camrose. After leaving Social Services, he did administrative work for Bethany Homes. After the death of Joyce, he found love again and married Milly Riemer. Milly and Dad enjoyed serving where they could and especially at the church camp. Dad always enjoyed working in the garden and sharing his produce with family and friends. Dad was able to engage people of many different backgrounds and truly enjoyed and valued these encounters. He was one of the most positive people I have ever met and knew how to encourage. He would say often, “God is good”, “Great day in the morning” and “You have to learn how to adapt”. He was a lifelong learner and was grounded in the word of God. His wisdom was always valued. He will be meeting his wife Joyce, parents, sisters and in-laws at the eastern gate of Heaven. He leaves his wife Mildred; his children Bonnie (Dave), Paul (Fern), Linda (Rob), John (Sandra) and Edna Mae (Sheldon); along with his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren; sister Joyce; sister-in-law Laverna; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother and father; wife Joyce; and sisters Esther, Avis and Delores. A private service will be held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Jarvis’s memory may be made to Meals on Wheels Food Program Camrose. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

DEWAR, Charlotte Lynn (nee Voytechek) Following a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s, Charlotte Dewar of Courtenay, BC passed away on Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at the age of 72 years.

Charlotte graduated from the Registered Nursing Program at St. Michael’s Hospital, Lethbridge.

Kodiaks beat world champions, Team Canada By Murray Green

This time it was Logan Willcott’s turn. The Camrose Kodiaks goalie stopped all 17 shots, many of the dangerous variety, to lead his team to a 2-0 victory over the Team Canada women’s team in front of 2,000 screaming fans on November 3. The Kodiaks made the fans wait until the third period to cheer for a goal and let the stuffed bears fly in the annual Teddy Bear Toss game. Noah Alvarez broke the scoreless game open just over two and a half minutes into the third period. A few minutes later Carson Whyte notched a power play marker to close the scoring. Camrose provided the toughest challenge for the women’s team to date as they prepare for the Olympic Games. While Willcott made every save, so to did Team Canada netminder AnnRenee Desbiens. Camrose couldn’t score until Alberta goalie Emerance Maschmeyer entered the game. Desbiens made 24 saves, while Maschmeyer stopped 10 of 12 shots. The Kodiaks blanked the Calgary Canucks 2-0 as goalie Spencer Welke earned his first shut out of the season. Kodiaks Callum Gau scored a goal in the second period and Carson Whyte added another in the third period to provide enough offence for the victory. Welke stopped all 17

shots he faced for the shut out, while Camrose fired 29 at the Calgary cage. Camrose built up a 2-0 lead, but let the game slip away in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Canmore Eagles in the Alberta Junior Hockey League south division on October 29. After a scoreless opening period, captain Callum gau and Owen Dean scored in the middle frame to give the Kodiaks the lead. However, it was the Eagles that soared in the third period with two tallies and the winner early in overtime. Goalie Spencer Welke made 31 of 34 saves for Camrose, while the Kodiaks fired only 23 shots at the Canmore net. The next home game is against the Drumheller Dragons on November 9 at 7 p.m. After a series of away contests, Camrose is back on November 23 to take on the Olds Grizzlys. They also host the Bonnyville Pontiacs on November 26, Canmore Eagles on November 28 at 2 p.m. and the Calgary Canucks on November 30. The Recreation Centre follows the Restrictions Exemption Program. Top photo: Team Canada’s captain MariePhilip Poulin fires a shot off the post in a close scoring chance.

Crush grab first place in senior men’s hockey By Murray Green

The Camrose Crush senior men’s hockey team hammered the Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs 7-2 in the North Central Hockey League action on October 30 to gain sole possession of first place. “We have some new players since moving from Daysland, but everyone

has come together quickly. We have a tight knit group already,” said forward Ryley Bennefield. They built up a 2-0 lead after the opening period on the strength of goals from Cody Fiala and Ryley Bennefield. Bennefield is second in league scoring. Camrose has a 5-1 record after six games.

“In my first couple years of senior men’s hockey, I didn’t know what to expect, but it is definitely an eye-opener. It’s quick, high paced, physical and competitive. I like the competitive part after playing junior hockey,” he added. In the middle frame, the Chiefs didn’t hit the panic button and fought

back to tie the match until DJ Bennefield and Landon Oslanski gave the Crush its two-goal margin back. “It was super cool to play with my brother. We haven’t played together for a long time. He motivates me to play and I’m sure I get on his case as well,” he laughed. “It’s good to start the season playing well and getting the wins early. With a shortened season, the wins mean even more, especially going into the playoffs,” said Ryley. Camrose padded the menacing lead with three more markers in the third period. Oslanski netted his second of the night before Dillan McCombie notched the last two tallies of the contest. Crush goalie Connor Dobberthien turned away 42 of the 44 shots that were directed his way, while Camrose fired 46 shots at the Fort Saskatchewan net. “Goaltending is huge. I don’t think any other team can touch us in goal. Both (Devin) Buffalo and Dobberthien are incredible and

we don’t have to worry who is between the pipes. That makes it easier for the rest of us.” Dobberthien was a nightmare to play against and was named player of the week for his 56 saves on 57 shots including his win over Westlock. He has a 2.67 goals against average and a .939 save percentage. The Crush goalie is second in the eligible goalie leader board. “Lacombe and us are the top teams, but there are a lot of good teams and they are all competitive. Camrose has the best fans by far. They contribute to the morale of the hockey team. It gets the competitive spirit up,” explained Ryley. Camrose hosts the Red Deer Rustlers on November 13 in the next home game at the Encana Arena, with the puck drop at 8 p.m. They also take on Bonnyville beginning at 8:45 p.m. at the Max McLean Arena on November 20.

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.

When I was young, I was scared of the dark. Now when I see my power bill, I am scared of the lights. A mandate isn’t a law. It’s when two men go to dinner. This morning I bought $10 worth of gas for my pickup. I had a wonderful trip over to Pump #4. Everyone is griping about gasoline at $1.39/litre. Meanwhile, they line up, car idling for ten minutes, waiting for coffee at $5.00 a cup. Hmmm. Aliens cruising past Earth: “Last month, they were shoving bread crumbs up a turkey’s behind, then they turned their attention to lobotomizing pumpkins. Humans have some serious issues. Warp-speed outta here, captain!” Moms during November: “Mom I need more toothpaste.” All right, but it’ll have to be one of your stocking stuffers.” If someone from Ziplock can contact literally anyone in the cereal business, that would be great. Parenting Tip: Never smell a teenage boy’s shirt to see if it needs to be washed. Just trust me on this. A truck carrying toupees crashed on the highway, spilling everything. Police are combing the area. The Devil whispered in my ear, “You’re not strong enough to withstand the storm.” I whispered back, “At least I didn’t lose my golden fiddle to some hillbilly from Georgia.” GIFT OF GAZEBOS

The Bethany Group is pleased to be able to offer its residents and families a delightful place to gather safely, thanks to a $25,000 grant from Wawanesa Insurance.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

I have decided to cut back on being sarcastic. I solemnly swear to only be sarcastic on days that begin with “T” … like Tuesday, Thursday, Today and Tomorrow. You’re not a mom unless you have an old gift bag filled with other old gift bags. Science Fact: It is impossible for a man to use a stud finder without first scanning himself with it and proclaiming to the room, “Found one!” Procrastibaking: The art of making cupcakes instead of doing something else you should be doing.

Condo life at its best

It’s very tiring babysitting my mom’s grandkids. Can someone please tell her to come get them? I got my wife to help me put some posts in the ground for our new fence. I gave her the hammer and said, “When I nod my head, you hit it,” I don’t remember much after that. What do you call a short mother? A minimum.

This well-maintained, two-bedroom Fieldstone adult-lifestyle condo is located in the hub of downtown Camrose area close to Mirror Lake and all its wonderful offerings and the bustling activity of the Camrose Senior Centre. The east-facing unit features open concept living, where everything is at your fingertips. The well-appointed kitchen has sleek white cabinets with a corner pantry for storage, a sit-up island for enjoying your favourite morning beverage while catching up on the news, and an adjacent dining area for more formal meals. The living room is highlighted with a cozy corner gas fireplace situated to take advantage of the great views from the patio doors which lead out to a balcony with views overlooking the City. The master bedroom has a walkthrough double-sided closet for his and hers or seasonal wardrobes that leads into the spacious en suite with a walkin shower.

The second good-sized bedroom could be used for overnight guests or turned into a home office or a sitting or hobby room. In-suite laundry is so convenient and offers plenty of storage for seasonal items. A second four-piece bathroom is a great feature when two people need to get ready at the same time. An underground heated private parking stall and storage locker is a wonderful asset. Take the elevator in the building to the top floor common room, where there is plenty of space to sit and visit with neighbours and friends or invite family for a gathering. The views from the large deck off the common area, complete with barbecue, are spectacular. This wonderful condo, located at #205 4834-52A Street, offers low maintenance and a budget-friendly lifestyle at a price of $249,500. Contact Graham Wideman for a personal viewing at:

Church Bulletin Blunders: • Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands. • Miss Charlene Mason sang, “I Will Not Pass This Way Again”, giving obvious pleasure to the congregation. • For those of you who have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs. • The Minister will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing, “Break Forth Into Joy”. • Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 at the church. So ends a friendship that began during their school days. • Potluck supper on Sunday at 5 p.m. Prayer and medication to follow. • The church will host an evening of fine dining, super entertainment and gracious hostility. • At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be “What is Hell?” Come early and listen to our choir practice. • The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon. • This evening, there will be a hymn sing in the park. Bring a blanket and come prepared to sin. • The Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. Please use the back door. • The Minister unveiled the church’s new tithing campaign slogan: “I upped my pledge – up yours!”
