City promotes switching up your ride By Lori Larsen

Dust off your bikes, Camrose. Inflate the tires, check the brakes and get ready for the City of Camrose Recreation and Culture department’s Bike Week to be held from May 30 to June 4. “We are hoping to increase bike awareness in the City and perhaps, down the line, build on the City’s bike infrastructure,” explained City of Camrose Recreation and Culture program coordinator Christine McCord. McCord’s wheels started spinning on the idea after receiving a phone call from an avid Camrose bicycle rider who had experi-

enced Bike Week in Winnipeg and thought it might be a worthwhile initiative for Camrose. The week is filled with some fun and exciting events beginning with a Bike Rodeo for ages 6 to 12 on Wednesday, June 1, from 6 until 8 p.m., held at Grand Park Drive parking lot. “People can just show up and the first 25 people will receive backpacks,” said McCord. On Thursday, June 2, an adult bike ride Pedals and Pints will take place from 7:30 until 9 p.m. beginning and ending at the Norsemen Inn. On Saturday, June 4, everyone is invited to join

Young entrepreneurs

a Community Bike Ride beginning at the Jaywalkers’ Jamboree pancake breakfast held downtown running from 9 until 10:30 a.m. In an effort to ensure all users of City roads and trail systems are safe, the City reminds everyone to use road safety, abide by all laws and follow trail etiquette. For ongoing tips on the benefits of biking, both for your own well-being and the well-being of our planet, visit the City of Camrose Facebook page.

As June 18 quickly approaches, young entrepreneurs in Camrose and area are getting prepared for the opening of their one-day lemonade stand businesses. Lemonicious stand owners nineyear-olds Mathea Beck and Raina Johnston hand over the $1 business licence fee to City of Camrose Business Development coordinator Kevin Johnson. Lemonicious will be strategically located outside of The Lefse House on June 18 and Mathea and Raina hope to be able to donate some of their sales to the Camrose and District Animal Shelter.

Camrose Genealogy honoured By Lori Larsen

Camrose Branch of the Alberta Genealogical Society (AGS) was recently awarded with the Alberta Genealogical Society President’s Award in recognition of innovation and engagement of branch members with various branch activities over the past two years during COVID-19. The award was announced by the Alberta Genealogical Society president 23, Lynne Duigou during the AGS annual general virtual meeting held in April. “AGS president Duigou recently attended one of our local meetings to present the award in person,” noted AGS Camrose Branch copresident Janine Carroll. The pandemic created challenges for most all notfor-profit clubs and organizations, stifling where, how and when meetings could take place, if at all, and often eliminating, entirely, annual events and gatherings.

Submitted

Alberta Genealogical Society president 23 Lynne Duigou, left presented the AGS President’s Award to AGS Camrose Chapter president Deb Trout.

This didn’t, however, stop the AGS Camrose Branch members from thinking outside the box and developing ways for members to still “meet”, participate and most importantly share their passion for genealogy. “During the COVID break, we continued regular meetings via Zoom and we also started two Special Interest Groups (SIGs), a “Writing your Family History” which meets every week and “Organizing your Genealogy”, meeting once a month,” noted Carroll. “These groups still meet by Zoom, it’s just really convenient to do it.” Exploring genealogy is a wonderful way to learn more about your family history and can bring families together with a common purpose and share interest. “One of our members has been working on the project of collecting and organizing obituaries of folks who live or lived in Flagstaff County, a huge project.” Missing the annual workshops, which included anywhere from two to three guest speakers, AGS Camrose Branch is hoping to try to get them going again in October. The AGS Camrose Branch is once again meeting in-person and via Zoom, for those who prefer, every 2nd Thursday of the month at 6 p.m.; downstairs at the Camrose Public Library boardroom. For more information on the AGS Camrose Branch visit the webpage at www.abgenealogy.ca/ camrose-branch.

The question is... What with all that’s going on in the world, lots of questions are swirling in the air. A long time ago, I read, “Questions are more important than answers.” When I read that, I rolled my eyes heavenward. I was interested in practical answers, not useless philosophy, thank you very much. I’ve changed my mind about two things since then: questions and philosophy! For now, let’s focus on questions. Empowering questions Some years later, I met a woman who taught me, “Ask empowering questions.” Here’s what she meant. If you ask a question such as, “Why did this happen to me?” or “What’s wrong with ______?”, you will undoubtedly think of answers. But you won’t feel happier or more capable. On the other hand, if you ask a question like, “What can we learn from this?” or “What’s an opportunity in this situation?”, you will undoubtedly think of answers, and you might feel happier or more capable–in other words, more empowered. She had a list of “empowering questions”– questions that take your mind in a direction that makes you happier and better able to be in charge of your life. Don’t ask Sometime after that, I figured out something else. Human brains are hardwired to figure things out, to go in search of answers to questions. Our brains love puzzles. If you ask a question, your brain is going to busy itself finding an answer. Based on that, I came up with a list of questions you should never ask, because you really do not want your brain to show you the answer. Here are some examples: What could go wrong? How hard can it be? What’s not to like? How long could it take? Pay attention to the questions you ask yourself, because your brain is going to find out for you–possibly by demonstrating the answer! Your brain will think it’s doing you a favour. You may not agree. Risk management Of course, there is a place for asking questions to which you might not like the answers in order to help you prepare for possible challenges. For example, the astronaut Chris Hadfield says that, as part of astronaut preparation, they spend months asking, “What could go wrong?” and then figuring out what they could do if such a thing happened. It’s called risk management and preparation. Hadfield says that problems did indeed happen when they were out in space. The problems were never identical to what the astronauts had imagined. However, because they had thought of possibilities months or years before, when actual challenges happened out in space, the astronauts were able to adapt and respond. That saved their lives more than once. Expand our thinking Recently, I was introduced to another “question” process I appreciated. First, we were asked to think of something that was on our minds. Maybe it was something troubling us. Maybe it was some incident when we had reacted in a way that we wished we hadn’t. We had some time to reflect on how that situation made us feel. Then we were asked to think about, “What would it be like if that problem were solved?” We had fun imagining that. The final four questions were ones I intend to ask myself often: What is the greatest potential waiting to emerge? What is the message trying to get through? Who is this situation asking me to be? What are the best possible conditions I can create, so that the greatest potential can come into being? I found those to be empowering questions. So what questions are on your mind this week? Hope they are empowering. ***

While healthcare funding formulas are a federal responsibility, the management and delivery remains a provincial responsibility and is characterised by wide interprovincial variation across our nation. COVID-19 will continue to stretch the quality and quantity of our health care to the limit for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a serious and objective look at Alberta’s health care. Shortages of healthcare workers, staff burnout, delays in elective surgeries, unacceptable wait times for routine visits, difficulty in finding doctors accepting new patients are all signs of the malaise impacting our system. Let us also be very wary of the UCP headlong rush to privatize health care; privatization, if it occurs, should mean that private healthcare providers have independent infrastructure, hospital facilities, diagnostic labs and services, rehabilitation services paid for by the entirely by the providers, not one penny of public money. Health care is evaluated using a Health Care Index (HCI) which is a statistical analysis of the overall quality of the healthcare system, including healthcare infrastructure; healthcare professionals (doctors, nursing staff, and other health workers) competencies; cost per capita, quality medicine availability, and government readiness. It also takes into consideration other factors including environmental, access to clean water, sanitation, government readiness on imposing penalties on risks such as tobacco use and obesity. The HCI ranking looks at 89 countries around the world on five different health variables. So, where does Canada rank? The top 10, in order, are: South Korea, Taiwan, Denmark, Austria, Japan, Australia, France, Spain, Belgium and the UK. By comparison, Canada ranks 23rd and the USA ranks 30th. Perhaps a change in tactic by our UCP govern-

ment might be in order? Instead of declaring war on our healthcare providers, tearing up contracts with physicians, demanding rollbacks to nurses, paramedics, respiratory techs and firing the well-respected president and CEO of Alberta Health Services, might it be more reasonable to send a nonpartisan team of healthcare professionals (no politicians/ideologues) on a fact-finding mission to the top 20 nations on the international HCI list? Surely, they could make short and long term recommendations regarding best practices to “cure” our present malaise. Let us not forget what happened when “Dr.” Klein did away with the infection control nurses; health care is too important to be subject to decisions made by politicians lacking in scientific and medical knowledge. Lynn Clark, Camrose Rule of law

In my last letter, I pointed out that the wealthy kleptocrats invested in western nations because we have societies governed by “Rule of Law”. In the “west”, they could safely invest their ill-gotten gains so long as they followed the laws of that jurisdiction. That was the case for most of my life. The doctrine of “rule of law” has been under attack by our elites for at least the last 50 years. The most egregious cases come from the United States, which has held itself out as the bastion of democracy, but we in Canada and Alberta are no slouches in having our politicians being dependent on wealthy elites. These elites control our media and virtually all big corporations. Corporations are legal entities that magnify the power of the small group that controls it, notwithstanding that the ownership of the corporation might be widely held by the citizenry, i.e. in their pension plans or ownership by many small stockholders. The corporation’s in-

terest is to make a profit for its shareholders, but a large portion of that profit goes to management, to lobbying politicians to pass laws to enhance its ability to make a profit, and to reduce competition, even at the expense of the public, and even to the extent of having the public purse subsidise these corporations. Politicians are elected to make laws for the benefit of all their citizens and the Courts of Law were established to enforce those laws. As the corporation became more powerful, it could pay lobbyist to inf luence politicians to make laws that enhanced its political power to fund the political process to the extent that they can essentially buy political parties that make laws that harm citizens, even when those citizens overwhelmingly oppose those laws. We see this in the US, where the country is becoming ungovernable. We see this in our politicians when they don’t believe the law applies to them, ignoring laws they don’t like, and not being prosecuted because of their wealth or position. We see this in tax laws which reduce taxes on the wealthy and increase them on the poor. We see it in the attempt by our elites to destroy safety the nets like health care, pensions and public education–policies that made this country so wonderful to so many of us. The Ukrainian war has shown that there is no longer a “rule of law” that can protect the illgotten wealth of the Russian Oligarchs, but it also shows there is no rule of law for any of us. We now live in very dangerous times, where powerful minorities can dictate who will win and who will lose. Democracy is messy, but history shows other alternatives are worse. Harry Gaede, Camrose

Kodiaks full-time assistant coach By Lori Larsen

The Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League are excited to announce that Nick Prkusic has accepted the role of full-time assistant coach.

Nick Prkusic

As an alumni of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Prkusic played 130 regular season games and 38 post season games for the Brooks Bandits. He also competed in two Royal Bank Cups (RBC) then went on to play four years of NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division 1 hockey for Robert Morris University. Prkusic graduated with a degree in Business Finance and finished with 81

points in 128 games in the NCAA. After that, he chose to get right into coaching and has been working for Prairie Academy as Head Coach of the U17 team. “Nick was very detailed and determined in the whole process,” said Kodiaks’ head coach Clayton Jardine. “It was great to go through the process with Nick and I am excited to have him join the team. Nick’s playing experience, character and leadership (captain in junior and NCAA) speaks for itself and at the end of the day, the decision was easy and it will be a great fit.” Prkusic said he is honoured and humbled to have been given the opportunity to join the Camrose Kodiaks as an assistant coach. “This is a great opportunity for me to contribute to a top-class junior program and I look forward to helping these young men develop and realize their goals. I also look forward to developing further as a coach under the leadership of Clayton and the Kodiaks staff.”

Fridge ClipPings

from years gone by

Larry Johnson of Camrose has hung onto a vintage Camrose Booster fridge clipping for a very long time…

This clipping entry was saved from the July 29, 1958 edition of The Camrose Booster. At that time, “the home team” free newspaper was a mere six years old. It remained a local small business, struggling for fi nancial stability, even though the product had been well received by rural and urban residents. Part of the paper’s popularity was the unique and typically “off-the-wall” writing style of co-founder and publisher William Fowler. Enjoy his message, as only “Booster Bill” could put pen to paper. Our thanks to Larry for sending in this fridge clipping. His reward of a $10 prize is on the way! Show us what you’ve clipped from The Camrose Booster! If we publish your entry, you will win $10 too. The oldest entry submitted prior to the end of December 2022 will earn the sender a cool $100 gift certificate from any Camrose business of that person’s choosing.

The huge event was organized by eight Camrose Beaveree Leaders, including Chairman of the Steering Committee, Ken Miske and Secretary Rob Garnett. The Committee enjoyed strong community and volunteer assistance, especially from volunteers Shirley Klippenstein, Rosalie Garnett, Patti Zunti and Joanne Miske. Strong support was received from the Camrose Business Community. Of note was Rob Hauser, owner of Beaver Lumber, donated all of the birdhouses that were cut, drilled and made ready for assembly by hundreds of Beavers. The Steering Committee also had high praise for the staff at CRE that went well beyond the call of duty to help make the event run smoothly.

Keller an important cog on Crush team By Murray Green

The Camrose Crush took care of things on the ice this past winter by winning the North Central Men’s Hockey League Championships. However, it was equipment manager Brian Keller who took care of the club off the ice. “The Crush manager (owner Colin Grindle) was asking around if people knew of someone who would make a good equipment manager. When I was asked, I jumped at the chance,” said Brian. “I filled the water bottles, set up music, passed out uniforms, I set up a table with tape and medical supplies before the games–both home and away games,” explained Brian. He didn’t miss a game all season. “I was blown away when the Crush asked me to help them. I was so excited, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know much about the team or players at first. I

wasn’t sure who was a good player, but they all soon became my friends,” shared Brian. “I was happy that we had a new team in town. In the past, I was the equipment manager for the Slave Lake Winterhawks. They won several cups and went to Provincials as well. They played in the same league, so I knew about it,” shared Brian. “I knew what to do, it just was a new team and new players to me.” Camrose won the Vassberg Cup by defeating the Lacombe Generals in the final playoff series. “The captain was Tylor Keller and we have the same last name. I’m not sure if we are related, but we became good friends. I really appreciated all of the things these guys have done for me,” added Brian. He named the coaches and support staff as friends,

ATLANTIC BATTLE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose branch president Adrian Zinck of the Royal Canadian Legion lays a wreath to honour the Battle of the Atlantic, which lasted from September 1939 until the defeat of Germany in 1945. It was the war’s longest continuous military campaign. Early in the war, German warships made a number of forays into the shipping lanes, aiming to catch and destroy Allied convoys. The Allies wanted to use the Atlantic to resupply Great Britain and the Soviet Union in their fight against Germany and Italy. Hitler lost the Battle of the Atlantic due the perseverance of individual sailors and merchant seamen who kept the ships moving.

ALS Awareness Month By Lori Larsen

The month of June has been proclaimed ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Awareness Month by City of Camrose Mayor PJ Stasko on behalf of council in support of anyone battling the debilitating effects of the disease. The Walk to end ALS in Camrose this year will take place on June 4 at the Bill Fowler Centre beginning with registration at 9:30 a.m. and the walk around Mirror Lake at 10 a.m. Organizers encourage anyone to come out and show their support for those fighting the difficult battle with ALS and the family and friends who walk beside them on their journey. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately, respiratory failure. The disease attacks certain cells in the brain and the spinal cord needed to keep muscles moving. In the early stages symptoms include muscle cramps and twitching, weakness in the extremities and difficulty speaking or swallowing. However as the disease progresses it affects the person’s ability to move any part of their body and the ability to speak or communicate with anything other than their eyes. As swallowing becomes virtually impossible sufferers will completely rely on a feeding tube for nutrition. Camrose’s own, Lori Huolt, began her personal journey with ALS on March 14, 2019, receiving the news that she had ALS the day after she returned home from a treasured vacation to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. Lori shared her story. “I had an appointment booked with my neurologist the next day. I was still in holiday mode and on top of the world. As we did my tests I was excited to share stories about my vacation and a new granddaughter. Life was good.” Like most people would when hearing life changing news such as this, Lori remembers just feeling numb then at some point realizing this was her new reality. “As I shared my news with family and friends I felt a strong feeling of love and support” And she vowed this would not hold her down without a fight, she would live her life to

the fullest every day. Which she has and continues to do. Through the myriad of onsetting symptoms progressively impacting Lori’s life in, what can only be described as devastating, Lori reached deep inside herself to live her best life. At first she experienced slurred speech and the loss of the use of her right hand. Two and a half years later, she lost her speech and her arms and legs weakened. Her determination has kept her going as she participated in a promising clinical study that would help to stop the progression by up to 33 per cent. Through it all Lori has felt blessed to have her amazing husband, two sons, daughter-in-laws and granddaughters, as well as a devote group of friends, by her side coaching and caring, supporting and encouraging her spirit to remain strong. To date, one year later, Lori continues to share her journey in hopes of making others aware of the impact this disease has and what their support can do to advance treatment and better the lives of those suffering from the disease, and their families. “So much has changed I have lost speech but have gained a communication device. I can no longer walk but have gained a wheelchair and a van to go wherever I want. I have lost the use of my hands but have gained the helping hands of my loving husband, family and friends.” This amazing woman is an inspiration to us all to never take anything for granted but to appreciate every “single” blessing, every “single” moment life offers. “It’s not what we lose in life but what we can do to make our lives better,” imparted Lori. If you are unavailable to join the walk on June 4 you can also support the cause with the purchase of handmade Lori’s Lanyards available for purchase at the Camrose Safeway pharmacy. All proceeds from the sale of the lanyards goes to the Camrose Walk and has thus far raised $3,000. Anyone interested in volunteering for the June 4 Camrose Walk to End ALS or for more information contact ALS Camrose walk coordinator Cheryl Feth at email wcfeth92@gmail.com.

Cougars win three out of four games By Murray Green

The Camrose Cougars triple-A U18 baseball team won three out of a four-game road series with the Calgary Cubs on May 14 and 15. Camrose peppered the Calgary Cubs 10-7 in the first game of the series. The Cougars scored on a single from Jake Popowich, his first of two hits, and a double by Cam Wolbeck in the first inning. A single by Nick Hilgersom, an error, a single by Chance Morbeck and a double by Ben Pullen led to an eight-run second inning. Griffin Van Petten and Max Logelin also had RBIs in the inning. On the mound, pitcher Dylan Soch won the game allowing four runs on eight hits over six innings, while striking out 12 Calgary batters. He allowed only one walk. Zack Willoughby earned the save in relief with a solid inning for the Cougars. In a high scoring affair, Camrose outlasted the Cubs 15-14 in a wild second game. It was an exciting walk-off victory in the bottom of the seventh, when Hilgersom hit a sacrifice fly to score a run for Camrose. The Cougars garnered seven runs in the fifth inning with Quinton Nogue, Popowich, Wolbeck, Pullen, and Logelin all driving in runs in the inning. Logelin went four for four at the plate to lead the Cougars on offence. In the third contest, Camrose crushed Calgary 11-2 by blowing the game out in the sixth inning. It was knotted at 2-2 after five innings before Nate Gotaas grounded out, but drove in a run. Camrose scored seven runs in the seventh inning with Morbeck, Wolbeck, Soch, Hilgersom, Nogue,

and Popowich driving in runs. Justin Pederson led the team with three hits on offence. Logelin earned the victory by allowing seven hits and two runs over seven innings, while striking out five and walking zero. Calgary rallied early in the final game to win 9-5 and avoid a sweep. Although Camrose out hit Calgary, the Cubs received timely hitting. Soch smashed an RBI double to spearhead the three-run third inning. Wolbeck, Logelin, Justin Kushnerick and Nogue each had multiple hits for the Cougars. Pitcher Jackson Goossen suffered the loss. He went four innings, allowing four runs on five hits, while striking out one. The U15 team dropped four games to the Edmonton Expos on May 14 and 15. Camrose lost 10-2, 20-0, 13-2 and 7-2 to Edmonton. Camrose hosts the Northern Lights team on May 28 and 29 in Duggan Park.

The stage is set

Revolving rehab Having read the article “Just Say No to Drugs” by Jeremy Appel in the June Alberta Report, I am prompted to better explain the realities associated with the Alberta Government’s rejection of a harm-reduction approach and their focus on providing privately-run recovery beds. My previous column (April 5) identified the government’s lack of concern for overdose deaths, shown Tim Parker, by their rejecting the value Psychology, of a safe drug supply and University of Alberta actively removing life-saving Augustana Campus safe injection sites. Instead, the Alberta government has been increasing the number of “recovery” beds in the province, mostly privately run. For example, in 2021, the Premier announced new recovery measures at the Fresh Start Recovery Centre in Calgary. “We care,” Kenney said. “And recovery from addiction is possible.” This strategy is problematic. When examining addiction recovery, it’s crucial to appreciate that addicted individuals are inescapably influenced by the stimuli that routinely surround them when they take their doses. These “drug cues” explain why recovery from addiction is so difficult. Evidence abounds that exposing recovering addicted individuals to these cues produces dramatic changes in their brain activation patterns, which are accompanied by strong cravings that are likely to promote a relapse into taking drugs again. Recovery centres claim impressive rates of recovery, but the reality is much different. Consider the conditions present in recovery centres: the user is not in the familiar surroundings that activate strong cravings, and, as such, they find it substantially easier to refrain from using drugs, especially after they have gone through withdrawal. This sounds great until you consider the concept of the rehab centre as a revolving door. This suggests that the “recovery” produced in these centres may not be as impressive as is often claimed. The reason has to do with why people repeatedly need to enter recovery centres, and it is here where the claims of the province simply are not credible. Strong cravings are produced by the drug cues in the user’s surroundings, and the absence of these cues in rehab centres makes it much easier to stay clean. This is the crux of the problem. If you look at the website of the Fresh Start Recovery Centre, you’ll see this statement: “Our goal is to send parents back to their kids, sons and daughters back to their families, and to restore people back into community.” Another recovery centre, iRecovery, says essentially the same thing: “Ongoing support from your own community is also key in managing your substance abuse disorder.” These statements betray two things. First, these private recovery centres don’t appear to be very familiar with what the research makes crystal clear; and second, the government seems more concerned about looking like they care about addicts than really helping them. The giveaway is the word “community” and how they want their patients to go back to their communities, friends, families, etc. The research conclusions could not be clearer: relapse is almost guaranteed when users are exposed to precisely the same cues that strongly induced their cravings in the first place. This is what makes addiction so traumatic and difficult to deal with. To have the best chance of true recovery, users require new surroundings where, as in the rehab centre, these drug cues are not present. Instead of having recovering addicts return to their familiar surroundings, what is needed is a broad range of support to allow them to begin new lives in environments void of drug cues. In addition to new living arrangements, they would also require psychological and social support, as well as meaningful employment opportunities. This is where the government needs to invest if it seriously wants to help individuals who misuse drugs. Promoting an ineffective revolving door strategy is financially beneficial for the bottom line of rehabilitation centres, but does little for drug addicts, and while the treatment at these private centres is free for patients, it most definitely is not free for the Alberta taxpayer.

Disservice to Canada The political side of Parliament often draws a great deal of attention and headlines, but often forgotten are Government services that are critical to Canadians. COVID-19 has taken a massive toll on the numerous government institutions on which we rely, but mismanagement has hurt the ability of Canadians to access services. I have heard from many of you about challenges accessing Service Canada, along with other departments. While many issues have emerged over the last two years, a specific concern is passport-related services. While Service Canada staff are working diligently (and I have spoken to local staff whom I commend), significant backlogs and institutional challenges exist–response times are too long and there is an ever-growing backlog. Government workplaces need to return to normal and efficiencies need to be found. Unfortunately, the Liberal Government failed to plan for the expected increase in demand with so many ten-year passports expiring at the same time, and did not acknowledge that Canadians were preparing to travel as restrictions relaxed. Many of you have reached out to me about firearmsrelated policy issues, and I often express frustration with the Liberals’ policy direction. However, there has been a significant increase in delays for processing Possession and Acquisition Licenses (PAL) and Restricted Possession and Acquisition Licenses (RPAL). The Liberals seem to have intentionally increased the bureaucratic complexities related to firearms ownership. Be wary of the possible legal consequences of expired licenses, and be sure you leave ample time for your renewal. If you have concerns, please feel free to reach out. Another department many folks are experiencing challenges is with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). They play an integral role in ensuring new immigrants can come to Canada and contribute economically and to our social fabric. Further, IRCC’s responsibility is to fortify Canada’s ability to help those in crisis and aid them upon arrival in Canada, including Afghan interpreters and Ukrainian refugees. IRCC is facing an enormous backlog of nearly two million applications for citizenship, permanent residency, study permits, temporary work visas, and visitor visas among others. Contact with IRCC remains extraordinarily difficult and this has become unacceptable. MP offices have a dedicated phone line and email to advocate on behalf of their constituents. If you need assistance, please feel free to reach out. These are a few examples of delays in service delivery, but there are many more instances I have heard about from constituents and colleagues across Canada, including from Indigenous Services, to the CRA, all the way to Veterans Affairs. The bottom line is action must be taken by the Liberals to ensure these services are available to Canadians. I will continue to advocate for these issues to be addressed. On a practical note, if you need assistance or advice regarding services offered by the federal government, do not hesitate to contact my office. My staff and I are here to help. I work for you and will do everything I can to help make sure the government serves the people of Battle River-Crowfoot. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column or need assistance with a federal government program, you are encouraged to write Damien at 494550 Street, Camrose, Alberta T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, text 403-575-5625, or email damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca.

City Council discusses telecommunication towers on public land By Lori Larsen

During the May 3 Committee of Whole meeting, City of Camrose planning and development manager Aaron Leckie provided council with a report outlining the consideration of leasing City land for the siting and operation of communication towers. As defined in Leckie’s report, a communication tower is an exterior transmitting device, or group of devices, used to receive and/ or transmit radio-frequency signals or other federallylicensed (regulated through CPC-2-0-03 Radiocommunication and Broadcasting Antenna Systems) communications energy transmitted from or to be received by other antennas. “A representative for a firm that selects locations and designs communications towers has approached the City to determine if the City has explored or is willing to explore the installation of a communication tower on City property,” explained Leckie. “As far as I can tell, the City had not been approached by a private utility provider before looking at siting communication towers on public land. There are many, though, throughout Camrose on private lands, institutional lands and lands just outside of the City of Camrose in Camrose County.” He indicated in his report that there are some existing communication towers located on City property used strictly for City operations such as the ones located at the Water Treatment Plant and Camrose Police Service. Leckie said the proposed location for the communication tower is ideal location from a servicing standpoint. “Ideal means that if it isn’t located on this proposed site, it may lead to taller or more communication towers in less ideal locations, such as closer to residences. “It is the responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate and provide that information to the federal government as part of the review process. It is not very land intensive and is a small portion of land, but the conversations were advanced enough I felt it prudent to come to Committee of the Whole before there were any serious negotiation on lease or selection of sites.” He noted that there is only one potential site under review at this time, and the tower is designed at a height that accommodates intents for other providers to locate there as well. “That would be an ideal colocation.” At this point, Leckie did not recommend devel-

oping a policy on communication towers. “There is so much uniqueness to each communication tower that it is tough to come up with even some general statements on what the City is looking for the providers to consider when making an application.” Leckie outlined both pros and cons in the report, which is available in full on the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca under Your Government/ Agendas and Meetings/ Agendas/Committee of Whole/2-05/22/.

what the position is, but anecdotally and from the little research that I did do, it doesn’t seem that there are any municipalities that say ‘no’.” Councillor Lana Broker asked, “If we allow these towers to go up, is it going to benefit us for better service and is there a benefit for our citizens for faster service?” Leckie replied, “I can’t speak for the primary motives. It is an expensive investment for them to make, and they have said that it is about them filling areas

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

City of Camrose council discussed the feasibility of leasing City-owned land to private utility providers for the placement of communication towers similar to the one located on the grounds of Century Meadows Baptist Church. Council inquires

Councillor Don Rosland asked what other communities are doing in regards to leasing public land for communication towers. Leckie responded, “Other municipalities do allow communication towers on public land or privately owned land. I can’t come across any examples of municipalities which have specifically said ‘no’, but so few municipalities have formalized policies that without contacting them directly to see how they have dealt with it in the past, it is a bit difficult to tell definitively

where there is demand for service that is not being met. “It is an improvement for their customers, who are the citizens and businesses of Camrose. Although it is a private utility, I think it is generally in the public’s interest to continue exploring these options for development on public land.” Councillor David Francouer noted that there is a cell tower located at his building and he has received complaints from people about the light shining through windows at night and concern over the tower’s impact on health.

“What is it going to look like for City Hall to be dealing with those issues?” Leckie replied, “Lighting is usually the number one concern in terms of frequency of concerns, although the concerns on health are seen as more significant. “Lighting is completely controlled by the federal government for aviation purposes, so the City would have no control on that. We have our concerns about lighting by using public land. It could seem that the City is dismissive about use of public lands, but I would also say that the likely outcome of that may be a communication tower located in a less optimal location, which may be closer to residences.” Leckie articulated that one of the underlying messages is that regardless of the City’s position, it is not going to stop the proliferation of communication towers throughout Camrose. “It is just a matter of if it is something the City wants to be directly involved in, knowing the pros and cons are identified.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland indicated she would not be opposed to using public land for communication towers sites, however, would want the City to be intentional about them not being close to residential property. Leckie said that locating the towers as far away from residential as possible is one of the City’s main considerations. “The City has a bit of an advantage here. Because of the large blocks of land that the City has, it is possible to site them further away from residences than it would on any small institutional sites such as the Century Meadows Baptist Church, as referenced earlier.” Hoveland added, “And not near or on our parks.” Leckie said there would have to be conversation about active versus passive used park spaces. “I think there are some ideal locations that are zoned park space, but they are not actually used park space for active or passive activities.” Councillor Joy-Anne Murphy asked, “Is the process completely out of our hands if we do agree to this arrangement in terms of feedback from citizens? If they have concerns prior to installation, do they come to us?” Leckie responded. “Right now, it is completely on the application. It is the providers’ responsibility to deal with the public feedback. If the public is unsatisfied with that, they have approached us in the past and our position has been that it is a federal jurisdiction matter and we wouldn’t get involved

or have a position on it as long as it meets the federal guidelines.” He added that additional questions could certainly be raised if it is on public property. “Because the municipality ultimately has the authority to lease that land or not. So I think that does bring the municipality into the sphere of discussion around engagement, but it is the responsibility of the applicant to go through that engagement process.” Murphy clarified, “So your feeling is it is a little more in our control if we do proceed with lease agreements, because then we have some say, or is it very particular to this instance?” Leckie replied, “I think that is negotiated through the lease process.” Councillor DJ Ilg wondered if it is possible for the City to predetermine areas ideal for the location of the communication towers. “Map out areas we can guide people towards that we say are suitable.” Leckie replied, “Perhaps, in looking at it ideally from a planning perspective in terms of distance from residences and ability to be less visible from publicly used areas. However, from an industry standpoint, they may be looking at other things such as the height of the land in relation to surrounding lands. I don’t know where the service gaps are. “I would suggest if we do continue to have these conversations with this potential provider, at the very least, I would circulate the proposed locations to council and some of the justifications as to why we think those are the better locations. It can be something that can be done by committee to determine the best location balancing a number of factors.” Councillor Kevin Hycha commented that his understanding, from the communication tower located on the Century Meadows Baptist Church grounds, is that the locations are strategically placed to provide for the best coverage. “I don’t see us being able to pick and choose where we want these. They basically dictate where they want it and they might give us a couple options.” Leckie said that if there are over five potential sites within an area where a provider has determined there’s a coverage gap they are trying to fill, that would be how the City would start their search for ideal locations. Council directed administration to continue discussion on City leasing of public land with the private utility provider.

A Town Car of limousine lawnmowers By Murray Green

Tim McAvany of Donalda built himself a riding lawnmower. “When you go to the dump, everyone just dumps their old lawn tractors and throws them out. This lawnmower was built from two lawn tractors,” explained Tim. A lawnmower is a machine utilizing one or more revolving blades to cut a grass surface to an even height. “One had a front end that was busted off and the other one had a blown engine. I cut them both in half to make the two lawnmowers into one,” shared Tim. “That is how I ended up with a two-seater lawnmower. It is built like a 1929 Lincoln Town Car limo. The first one I built was a 1929 Roadster that was a one-seater. I had that in the car show two years ago. We didn’t have a show last year, but I made a 1921 tow truck. I have all of those at home,” continued Tim. In the 1920s, a town car was a body design typically used for limousines. The description originated from the horse-drawn carriage that featured an open chauffeur’s compartment with a fixed roof for the passengers. During that era, the fixed rear roof horse-drawn carriage became a limousine and the term “de Ville” in French meant for town (use).

FUN FACTS

The lawnmower was invented by Edwin Beard Budding in 1830 in Brimscombe and Thrupp, just outside Stroud, in Gloucestershire, England. Budding’s mower was designed primarily to cut the grass on sports grounds and extensive gardens, as a superior alternative to the scythe, and was granted a British patent on August 31, 1830. Lincoln (formally the Lincoln Motor Company) is the luxury vehicle division of American automobile manufacturer Ford. Marketed among the top luxury vehicle brands in the United States, Lincoln was positioned closely against its General Motors counterpart Cadillac. Lincoln Motor Company was founded in 1917 by Henry M. Leland, naming it after Abraham Lincoln, the first president he voted for. The Lelands broke ground on the Lincoln Motor Company Plant in Detroit. Lincoln Motor Company acted as the final assembly point for the engines, with the company securing parts from other manufacturers. In total, Lincoln Motor Company would assemble 6,500 Liberty V12 engines with the end of World War I concluding production; by the end of the war, Lincoln would employ 6,000 workers.

gine and converted it to a riding cart. This year, I finished it just in time to throw a fresh coat of paint on it. I was lucky on that one,” he added. He usually can be found towing a pop wagon. “It was supposed to be holding a sandwich board, but I didn’t have time to put the sign up. I intended to give a free pop away with a vote for my entry,” laughed Tim. “I wanted to bribe people, but it didn’t work out that way.” He performed a complete restoration. “It was a complete turnover. I chopped the lawnmowers right down to the bare bones and started all over again. Everything on here is recycled parts. The body is from a dryer, wheels are from lawn tractors, part of it is from a washing machine and the frame is from old bed rails. Everyone throws that stuff out, so I decided to make better use of it and keep it out of the landfill. I like to 100 per cent recycle everything,” said Tim.

“I started building this in the spring, in March. I worked on it every day since March (2021) to get it ready,” said Tim. “I like to build one lawnmower vehicle a year. I hear

that I’m going back to work, so I’m not sure if I have time to build one for next year. I already have three,” shared Tim. “I like to drive them in the annual parade and show and shine.”

Getting the message across By Lori Larsen

Driving west on Highway 13 just outside Camrose City limits, motorists will now notice a billboard bearing the message, “Report Impaired Drivers–Pull over and Call 911”. The sign was installed in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, specifically the Wetaskiwin/Camrose Traffic Services, MADD and Alberta Transportation, in an effort to create awareness on the importance of reporting suspected impaired drivers. “The Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP Traffic Services arranged to have two of these ‘Report Impaired Drivers’ signs installed,” said Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP Traffic Services Corporal Trent Cleveland,

ment intended to ingrain in motorists’ minds that reporting suspected impaired drivers helps to keep their communities, thus family, friends and neighbours, safe. In the month of October 2021, Alberta RCMP removed 698 impaired drivers from Alberta roadways, which averages out to nearly one impaired driver per hour. In an effort to decrease the amount of impaired drivers, the Canadian government introduced Bill C-46 in December 2018 which included Mandatory Alcohol Screening. This allowed police officers the authority to demand that any lawfully-stopped driver provide a preliminary breath sample to test for alcohol without reasonable

CHIEF Dean LaGrange Chief of Police Camrose Police Service Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Wetaskiwin/Camrose RCMP Traffic Services Corporal Trent Cleveland stands by the Impaired Driving/Call 911 sign on Highway 13 just west of Camrose.

“One on the west end of Camrose on Highway 13, and another just north of the Camrose County sign on Highway 21 coming into Camrose County from Leduc County. “We are trying to make sure that motorists are getting the message about the laws surrounding and the extreme dangers of impaired driving.” Written across the top of the signs is the message, “It’s your community. It’s your call”, a powerful state-

suspicion that the driver has alcohol in their body. “In December 2020, Bill 21 was introduced in Alberta, which included changes to the Immediate Roadside Sanctions (IRS) program, also came into effect,” explained Cleveland. “The new IRS program provides a comprehensive array of serious, immediate and escalating consequences for impaired drivers which have proven to reduce the amount of impaired driving.”

Question: How many calls does the 911 Centre answer each day? Answer: The City of Camrose emergency communications centre is a “primary” PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) which accepts regular calls, as well as 911 calls. Over the course of a day, our communications operators answer approximately 150 calls per day, 24 of those are 911 calls. That averages over 55,000 calls per year including 8,800 emergency calls per year. The 911 Centre dispatches City Police, City Fire and County Fire response.

Clifford Harvey Driedger

Leonard Clifford Roger Schultz

Leonard Clifford Roger Schultz was born in Camrose, Alberta on August 16, 1942. As the youngest of seven children, the baby of the family soon became the apple of everyone’s eye. Len attended Camrose Lutheran College and, later, the University of Alberta for post-secondary education. It was during these years, he met Fern at a Young People’s event and the two soon began a longdistance relationship as he finished his schooling. They were married on May 9, 1964, and welcomed two children, Diana and Randy, into their family union. Len and Fern just recently celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary. Len was known for many passions and touched the lives of people in many different ways. As a teacher, he was notorious for his exciting Science lessons, cool gadgets, and Snowmobiling option course. He was loved by students and staff alike. Len shared many stories of the opening of Jack Stuart School, where he was Principal, and the great lengths the staff went to in order to get things operational for students – even picking up and transporting the playground equipment on his snowmobile trailer. Len worked hard and played hard. Many summers were spent camping and waterskiing at the Shuswaps, boating and hanging out at the cabin at Driedmeat Lake, dirt biking on mountain cutline trails, kayaking down the Red Deer River, and having fun with family and friends. However, Len’s favourite hobby was snowmobiling. Many a Yamaha, Ski-Doo, Polaris, Kawasaki, and Arctic Cat have supported his exploits. From drag racing on Mirror Lake to leading a trail ride through Happy Valley, breaking trail on the way up a mountainside to high-marking on a summit slope, Len was in his glory – always on a mission to collect as many photos as possible to remember his days. Only recently, he retired the helmet and camera to dedicate his remaining time to be with Fern. Len went peacefully to be with his Saviour on May 15, 2022, at the age of 79 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Fern; two children Diana (Dwayne) White and Randy (Roxanne) Schultz; three grandchildren Ryan (Hannah), Isaiah, and Keziah; and countless extended family and friends. Len is survived by his brother Gordon (Sophie, decd.) Schultz and sister Ida (Harold, decd.) Bouck. He was predeceased by his parents Adolph and Elsa; and four brothers Ben (Phyllis), Richard, John and Art (Rita). A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, May 20, 2022 at CityLights Church (4920-48 Street, Camrose), with Pastor Richard Schultz officiating. Memorial donations may be made directly to Kingman Baptist Church, Alberta Diabetes Foundation or to the Samaritan’s Purse.

Clifford Harvey Driedger passed from this life into eternity with his Lord at 94 years of age on May 15, 2022 in Hinton, Alberta. Cliff was born in Saskatoon on November 11, 1927 to Henry and Anganetta Driedger, the middle child between Orville and Vivian. The family settled in Daysland in 1933. After high school graduation, Cliff became a salesman of lumber, cars and, finally, insurance. After four years of courtship, Cliff married Bernice Lomas on October 18, 1958. They set up a home in Camrose and added six children to the family – Donna, Mavis, Dean, Don, Eleanor and Cheryl. He loved each member of his family and passed on wisdom for living through daily dialogue and direct instruction. Cliff established Driedger Agencies to sell real estate and insurance in the Camrose area. Every Sunday, he took his family to church. In his early forties, Cliff felt like he was successful by the measures of the world around him, but he had an inner discontent. At regular meetings of the Full Gospel Businessmen International organization, Cliff heard about a vibrant faith relationship with God through Jesus Christ from individuals who told the story of their conversions to Christianity. When Cliff embraced Jesus, the reality of his conversion became the central focus of his life. The salesman became an evangelist! He became a member of Gideons International in Canada and distributed New Testaments in prisons, hospitals, hotels and to every Grade 5 student. Cliff retired early in order to devote his time in service through the church and to individuals in need. When Bernice’s cognitive function began to decline, Cliff supported her in the family home for as long as possible. When she entered long-term care in Tofield, he moved as well and visited her daily until her death. Following this loss, Cliff returned to Camrose to be close to family members and maintain his connection with Full Gospel Businessmen. He lived independently at Deer Meadows until January 2021. At that point, he moved to Hinton to live with Donna’s family. Their support allowed him great freedom. Unfortunately, as he was out walking, he tripped and broke his pelvis. After Cliff was unable to drive, he walked many places. Often, he found himself at a distance from home and placed his need for a return trip at the mercy of strangers. Despite the family’s suggestions, and in spite of our fears, he believed in the goodness of people and the protection of God. We extend our thanks to many in the communities of Camrose, Tofield and Hinton who met this need. Cliff was predeceased by both parents, his wife, his brother and an infant son. He is survived by Donna (Harry) Arnesen, Karina, Hanna; Mavis (Norm) Mulder, Ami, Meghan; Dean Driedger, Devon, Paige, Dane; Don (Sharlene) Driedger, Tracey, Erika; Eleanor (Weston) Voytechek, Joe-Anna, Micheyl, Brendyn, Wanita, Malinka, Shavonne; Cheryl (Rod) Barks, Brett, Britney, Tiara, Mikayla; spouses of grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held to honour Cliff’s life on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at Camrose Community Church. Memorial donations can be made to Camrose Community Church, ShareWord Global (formerly known as Gideons International in Canada) or a charity of one’s choice.

Following the Second World War, there was a decade long period of exceptional economic growth. Known democracies went through a decade of expansion and it was a period of pride, satisfaction and step-by-step advancement. It also was a time where previous stagnating nations became democratized and industrial. Japan, South Korea, India, Spain, Italy, along with a few African countries and a good number of Latin American nations became increasingly developed. The Russian invasion of Ukraine marks the first time since the Second World War that a well-functioning democracy with well-educated industrial persons is now threatened by a dictatorial takeover. This miserable unjustified attack with zero respect for human dignity must not be allowed to succeed. Success by the Russians over Ukraine becomes a threat to democracies everywhere. There is some satisfaction in knowing that every objective that Putin held while starting this war has been upended. He detested NATO. As a result of his ugly attack, NATO has never been stronger. He wanted to stop the advance of NATO growing eastward, and now Finland has begun the process of preparing to join NATO. Sweden is expected to seek membership soon. Putin just knew that the Ukrainians would welcome his advance with a thankful reception. Instead, Russia has suffered heavy losses in military equipment and personnel. Nothing demonstrates Russia’s lack of human dignity more than the fact that after the Russians vacated the suburbs near Kyiv, they made no effort to collect the bodies of their own soldiers. They left them, unburied, on foreign soil. Somewhere there are Russian mothers waiting and wanting to hear about their boy soldiers. Most Russian personnel on the front line are age 19 or 20. Perhaps the most degrading thing for Putin is that he desperately wanted, as a part of his legacy, to be known as the person who restored Russian influence over the lands that were once a part of the former Soviet Union. Instead, he will go down in history in the same category as the worst leaders who caused Second World War. While his approval rating today remains high within Russia, the truth will survive and then, as always, admiration will turn to contempt. Russia’s people will, in the fullness of time, be embarrassed for decades. There are two facts that we know about war: one, it is much easier to start a war than it is to end one; secondly, all wars do end. Even the Hundred Years’ War finally ended. When this is over, the alliance of western countries, now numbering forty, must not lift the sanctions on Russia until at least three conditions are met. First, Russia needs to constitute and practice the acceptance of a free and unfettered press; second, there needs to be the assurance of free and open system for elections (stop killing persons who oppose); and third, Russia needs to agree to a long-term commitment to help rebuild all that they have destroyed. Without such commitments, sanctions should continue to pressure the Russian leaders. I make these comments with a great deal of sadness, knowing that sanctions hurt the innocent Russian citizens. However, this cruel leadership must not continue without consequence. The message is not just for Russia, but clearly China needs to know that democracies will stand strong in favour of Taiwan, Tibet and the Chinese militarized island claimed by the Philippines.

Teachers collect socks, funds

By Murray Green

Three teachers from the Battle River School Division joined forces to support three special students in a way that brought fun and inclusion together by rocking some funky socks. Every year across the globe, people come together to bring awareness to Down Syndrome by wearing mismatched or fun socks. Down Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, is a condition where a person is born with an additional chromosome. “These chromosomes look like socks, so in an effort to bring awareness and acceptance to these amazing individuals, we decided to do a little something extra to honour them,” said teacher Joanie Ewasko. Students at Jack Stuart School in Camrose were asked to support a Rock Your Socks event by bringing a pair of new socks to donate to Camrose Open Door Association. The Open Door is a nonprofit charitable organization that offers hope and support services to youth, adults and their families. Next, teachers Breanne Buckland, Katie Radchenko and Ewasko applied for the Community Relations Grant through their ATA Local in order to be able to make a further donation in honour of their students to the Camrose Special Olympics and to the parent council for the fundraising efforts of their inclusive playground. “Jack Stuart School

houses an inclusive classroom called the Excel program for students of determination, who require additional support outside of a regular classroom setting. This playground would allow not only the students of Excel greater opportunities for play at recess, but would also be the first of its kind in Camrose,” explained Ewasko. The day of the event was celebrated with Autism Day in order to include more students from the school population. “The Grade 5 classes formed a conga line and went classroom to classroom, with Lonny Delwo, Eli and Isaac Felgate leading the line. We danced our way into the Sock Hop Assembly in the gym. This was the first celebratory assembly of its kind since COVID-19 for some of these students, and it truly was amazing to see such big smiles and full hearts in honour of these boys. Once in the gym, students watched videos teaching them about Down Syndrome and Autism, then were shown another video of how these students learn in our school. They were told that we were given the grant as applied for and that they donated over 300 socks as a school. Energy levels were high and it was so exciting for our three boys. We danced our way back to our classrooms and it was so amazing to see Lonny, Eli and Isaac be such an important part of our school community,” said Ewasko.

Submitted Teacher Katie Radchencko, Emily Sampson of Camrose Open Door, Eli and Isaac Felgate, Lonny Delwo, ATA Local president Karin Brusse-Paterson, teachers Joanie Ewasko and Breanne Buckland came together for the donation of over 300 new socks to the Camrose Open Door.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

Dolter celebrates Augustana graduation By Murray Green

The latest song from local music artist Travis Dolter is about his reflections from his time at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus as a student. It is titled “Senior Year.” The song was released on May 20 on streaming platforms. “I wrote the song before I went into my last semester. I was sitting in my living room, in the house I was living in, I was looking at the syllabus of classes I had coming up. I started thinking after I finish the course work, that’s it. I’m done and I’m out in the wild,” laughed Travis. “I started stressing myself. I’m thinking, ‘What am I going to do next?’ I started a plan, but nothing concrete yet. I took that opportunity to get my thoughts down. I realized that I have all of these memories that I made and, if nothing else, that’s what I got out of it,” explained Travis. “I am a way better person now than if I hadn’t gone to university. I know so much more, met some fantastic people, met my girlfriend and I put these positives into a song with my memories with a realization that it didn’t matter, because it was going to sort itself all out,” shared Travis. “When I finished the song I felt way better. I played it for my roommates and it made them sentimental.” The song release was a surprise announcement and only his biggest followers knew it was coming. “I received permission to record it at Augustana where I went to school. It is cool to record it in the dorm room that I was in, which created the memories.” He is planning to release the Every Song A Story double EP album in the summer. It will be his greatest hits mixed with new releases. Morris Ernie Lanuk, of Camrose, on May 13, at 84 years of age. Leonard “Len” Schultz of Camrose, on May 15, at 79 years of age.

Wildlife should remain wild, not pets By Lori Larsen

This time of year, many wildlife are giving birth and tending to newborns, and people may have the fortunate opportunity to get glimpses of the adorable little creatures. But just like humans, wildlife parents have an innate ability to take care of their own, and humans need to remember their roles in conserving precious natural resources and leave well enough alone. Just because a baby bird is seen out of a nest on the ground does not automatically mean they are in need of rescue. According to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation, baby birds naturally leave the nest approximately two weeks after they hatch and spend the next two weeks on the ground learning to fly. If you observe the babies from a safe distance, you are bound to notice parent birds in the area still caring for their young ones. Baby deer and hares will be left alone during the day, often tucked away in brush, but sometime in plain view, while their mothers are out feeding. The mothers will return at dusk and dawn to feed them quickly, always trying to detract attention away from the babies. Before you make what can be a devastating deci-

sion to “rescue” the babies by accidentally “kidnapping” them, contact the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation Wildlife Hotline at 403-946-2361 first to seek professional advice.

If by chance the animal needs to be moved because it is in immediate danger, such as on a roadway or in the path of a mower or other equipment, it is okay to move them to a safer (albeit close) location. Despite popular belief, the mothers will not reject them if human scent is on them. Often seen as helpless, injured or orphaned wildlife are just that–wildlife, and should never be kept or tried to be cared for by anyone other than facilities with the proper mechanisms and permits for caring for and rehabilitating wildlife. Licensed wildlife facilities, zoos, trained wildlife rehabilitators and veterinarians can provide proper care and medication to injured wildlife. Accord-

ing to Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation, giving wildlife cow’s milk, bread or any other human foods can be detrimental to their health and can cause severe malnutrition and could lead to death. Not only is it illegal to possess or try to rehabilitate wildlife, unless by a licensed facility, it is highly unethical. Wildlife rehabilitation is always aimed at giving the wildlife the required care it needs with causing as little stress to the animal as possible, with a hopeful outcome of returning the animal back to the wild as soon as it is healthy enough and old enough to survive on its own. Unfortunately, if a baby of injured wild animal is not raised in proper conditions, it runs the risk of becoming habituated to humans and is unlikely to be successfully released back to the wild, its true lot in life. Years of evolution have proven over and over again that wildlife is very capable at adapting and surviving. Now it is up to people to ensure they continue to do so by letting them do what they do best–remain wild. For more information on wildlife conservation, visit the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation at www.aiwc.ca.

Central Agencies Realty Home of the Week

Charming character home

By Lori Larsen

If you are looking for a home that is bursting in character combined with beautiful upgrades, this bungalow is located a short walk from Camrose’s gem, Mirror Lake, and the hub of the City, the downtown core. The minute you drive up to this home, you will be taken in by its charismatic curb appeal, with a street front dormer and inviting porch where you can sit and soak in the good life. A rare but incredibly sought after feature of the home are the refinished original hardwood floors that are highlighted perfectly with modern but timeless paint colours, crisp white trim and stunning fashionable features such as the brick feature wall in the dining and kitchen area. The living room is saturated with warm natural light from all the windows and features built-ins for displaying your favourite things. The dining area has plenty of room for a good-sized table to join family and friends, and bar stools that can be pulled up to the kitchen counter.

The stylish kitchen cabinets have been painted in a deep shade of grey highlighted by rich dark countertops and updated backsplash tile. Just off the kitchen is the conveniently located primary bedroom complete with its own private updated four-piece en suite. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. This would be the perfect place for children or a roommate to have their own private area. The home boasts a full concrete basement that is partially finished with a room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, home office or workout room, and a good-sized laundry area. The backyard is fenced and has a fabulous exposed aggregate patio, and a newer 22’ x 24’ heated garage. Steeped in history as one of the oldest homes in Camrose, this charming home, located at 4833-54 Street, is priced to sell at $249,900. For a private viewing, contact Matthew Mayer at:

Matthew Mayer

I don’t mean to brag, but I just made it through the self checkout without having to call for help. I nally feel validated as a productive member of society.

Listening to my wife’s workplace drama is like knowing everything that happens in a show you’ve never seen. I’m like, “Oh wow, Cathy did that? CATHY!!?? I did not see that coming. And Steve quit? Wow, he didn’t even make it to season #3.”

Welcome to your 40s. You now have one random eyebrow hair that grows way faster than the rest.

Every day, I feed my cats the exact same thing. Every day, they look at me like I got their order wrong.

Four-year-old: “I can’t wait till I’m grown up!” Me: “Why?” Four-year-old: “Then I can do whatever I want.” Me: “Boy, do I have some terrible news for you.”

Two slices of bread got married. The ceremony was going great, until someone decided to toast the bride and groom. Do you know that garbage men don’t get any o cial training? They just pick things up as they go along. They give mothers an epidural to block the pain of childbirth. They should also get a second, much stronger shot when the child becomes a teenager. The best way to teach your kids about taxes is by eating 30 percent of their ice cream.

Turning o the big light and switching on the bedside table lamp in the evening is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Well, I lost my job at the bank today. A woman asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her over.

The worst thing about rising food prices is that pretty soon everybody will be eligible to go through the 10-items-or-less lane.

The worst part about dinosaurs being extinct is that some of them probably tasted awesome. We’re missing out on an entire category of meat. Husband: “What are you doing?” Me: “Saving the environment.” Husband: “Your standing over the kitchen counter eating ice cream from the carton.” Me: “Exactly. From the carton. Which means I’m saving water, not washing a dish.”

Words from Grandma…

• I carry a whistle to the grocery store in case someone violates the sanctity of the “10 Items or Less” lane. • I feel disappointed when obituaries don’t include the cause of death. • People would be a lot less angry if they just put more butter on everything. • Lois has had COVID since 1972. I know this because she’s never had taste. • The next time you’re out shopping, treat yourself to a new toilet brush! • I exact revenge on young drivers who text through green lights when I write cheques at the grocery store. • I’m still not over Bob Barker leaving The Price Is Right. • You haven’t lived until you’ve slammed down a rotary phone. • The only people you can trust are grandmothers and librarians. • Single-ply is what happens when men are left to make important decisions. • I’m still recovering from finding suds on my decorative seashell soaps. • For the love of God, clean your toaster crumb tray! • I’m starting my fourth spiral notebook of people who have wronged me. • Please excuse me while I rage crochet.
