CAMROSE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Book Bike

Co ming to a place near you

he Camrose Public Library Book Bike could very well be coming to a place you and other family members frequent this summer. The mobile library, made possible due to the generous support of the Ross and Denise Irving Fund, administered by Battle River Community Foundation, Young Canada Works and Canada Summer Jobs, will be visible at the Museum, on the trail system, in parks and green spaces, at farmers' markets, the Spray Park and other destinations, too. The bicycle-mounted library not only carries select popular reading material, it is also laptop and Wi-Fi equipped. The Book Bike is a full-function library with check-out and book return capability. Bike pilots also come equipped with frisbees, games – even a parachute, if you can imagine – for added summer fun and enjoyment.

One more chance at life By Lori Larsen

A Cup of Kindness A few summers ago, my home and office were moving to a new location that was being renovated, and a third location was being prepared for rental. Over several weeks, things were being moved into the new combined work/ home location from three other locations. As well, new furniture was being delivered. Meanwhile, the renovation of the new location ran into snags. It took six weeks longer than expected. Instead of moving into a clear empty space, the home and office were being moved into a construction zone. It was chaotic–complete disruption to home life and work life. Besides the chaos, I noticed something else: kindness. *** Family and friends arrived to help in ways I expected and ways I did not expect. I am eternally grateful and not surprised. That’s the kind of people they are. What I also began to notice was the kindness of strangers. As we began moving in boxes from three other locations, workmen who were still finishing parts of the renovation made sure space was cleared for the boxes coming in. Later, people delivering new furniture took their footwear off at the door. They made sure everything they delivered was set up properly. They cleaned up the mess from unpacking. They even phoned back later to check that all was in order. In the building to which I was moving, every time we arrived with another load, people we didn’t know would say, “Can I hold the door for you?” and “Can I help you with that?” It seemed like we were surrounded by kind people. In a stressful chaotic time, those acts of kindness made everything easier. *** I remembered that as I read an article by Dr. Travis Bradberry, “Powerful Habits of Considerate People.” He says that our instinct to be considerate is even stronger than our instinct to be self-serving. Kindness and being considerate of others are part of being human. According to Bradberry, research by Dacher Keltner at Berkely University showed that our brains react the same way when we see other people in pain as when we experience pain ourselves. Seeing someone else experience pain activates the part of the brain that triggers nurturing behaviour. During my chaotic time of moving, I was keenly aware of how helpful it was for me to be surrounded by kindness. What I hadn’t thought of was something pointed out in Bradberry’s article. He says being considerate is good for the person being considerate. Bradberry said, “When you show kindness and consideration for others, the brain’s reward center is triggered. That elevates the feel-good chemicals like dopamine. All of that gives you a great feeling, similar to what’s known as ‘runner’s high.’ All that oxytocin is good for your heart too.” *** Unkind and rude acts get more mass media attention than the millions of acts of kind and considerate acts that happen every day. All those unkind images can make us believe unkindness is typical. It’s not. We are hard-wired to be kind to one another. It’s not just your grandmother or your spiritual leader saying, “Be kind to others,” because it’s the right thing to do. It’s neuroscience! Bradberry said, “Being considerate is good for your mental and physical health, your career, and everyone around you. On top of that, it just feels good.” I love it when hard science catches up to what human nature has known all along–being kind is good for us. Regardless of how it may appear on mass media, kindness comes naturally to most of us, most of the time. Reassuring! *** I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send an email to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

There is a lot to be said about being in the right place at the right time, but even more importantly having the skill sets to be able to render life saving assistance in a dire emergency. For Chad Fisher, all three of those forces came together on December 17, 2021 when his brother-inlaw Arne Berg suffered a heart attack. “At approximately 1:30 in the afternoon on December 17, my roommate (brother-in-law), who had previously suffered a heart attack a few months before, went outside to start his truck. It was a very cold day,” recalled Chad. “He (Arne) came back in and sat on the couch. I was upstairs taking care of paperwork, and my wife screamed at me to come downstairs. “When I did, I ran over to my brother-in-law who was sitting on the couch. He had taken his last breath.” Chad immediately grabbed Arne by the front of his jacket, laid him on the floor and began administering CPR. “I am first aid qualified,” said Chad. He performed CPR for 15 minutes all the while speaking on the phone with emergency services who assisted him with his technique. Chad said that approximately 15 minutes after the incident started EMS paramedics arrived on scene and took over Arne’s care. “They had to use the electric paddles three times in the house attempting to revive him. “They had to evac him (Arne) up to the hospital here, then he was air ambulanced to the Royal Alex Hospital in Edmonton.” Arne remained in intensive care for three days surviving the incident, and after approximately three weeks was able to come home. After reading about Chad’s act of life saving on Facebook, a prior Bawlf resident (currently living in Calgary) submitted Chad’s name to St. John Ambulance, resulting in Chad being nominated and awarded the Silver Life Saving Award for Canada. “It was quite an honour for me I never expected it,” said Chad. Chad received a letter from the director of ceremonies for St. John Council of Alberta inviting him to the 2022 Investiture and Awards Ceremony held in Edmonton but was unfortunately unable to attend the event. He was mailed a certificate and silver pin in honour of his life saving act of good will. On June 14 this year (both Arne and Chad’s

birthday), Arne sadly passed away but thanks to the quick thinking and immediate response of Chad, Arne was able to spend six more months with family and friends enjoying life, as he had come to be known for, to its fullest.

“I work in the oil field and it is required for me to have first aid training,” said Chad. “I took my training with Jodi (Tetz) Huseby with ICON Safety (Consulting). “I have had training

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Chad Fisher holds up the Silver Life Saving Award for Canada certificate and silver pin he received from St. John Ambulance for saving his brother-in-law’s life and giving him a second chance at enjoying family and friends.

“I think it just took too much out of him,” reckoned Chad. “He had a really nice meeting with his family (the day he passed away), played with the children, went out and did one of his hobbies, then laid down on the couch to watch a ball game and passed away… peacefully in his sleep.” Chad said Arne had lived a very full life–farming, working the oil field, touring around on his motorcycle and enjoying his family. “He was a very happy, gregarious man always willing to help somebody,” said Chad fondly of Arne. Family and friends held a ceremony celebrating Arne’s life at one of Arne’s favourite local haunts and Chad estimates approximately 300 people showed up to pay their respects but more importantly, laugh and reminisce about his wonderful life. A life that was given a second chance, albeit short, to be with family and friends and enjoy the things that made him happy, all because Chad was there and had the training to help.

(in first aid) for the last 20 years but it is important to keep refreshed. There are things I learned this time around that have changed with CPR.” Chad’s wife Norma is also a survivor of a massive heart attack that she suffered six years ago. “She fought like the dickens but is 100 per cent now and doing very well,” thanked Chad adding that he is glad to have the first aid training for her security as well. On a final note, Chad wanted to express the importance of having, what could make the difference between life or death, first aid training. “Please just go and take the training, it is so important to do that, even just the basic training. It is not very expensive and takes a little of your time, but it benefits you and possibly someone else in the long run.” And in this case, gave family and friends of Arne Berg a chance to spend just a little bit more time with him.

Local golfers off to Senior Canadian Games By Lori Larsen

Three Camrose golfers are off to the 55 Plus Canadian Seniors Games to be held August 23 to 26 in Kamloops, BC. Golfers Paula Cramer, Brenda Heyink and Linda Slater all qualified for the Canadian Games during the Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games 2022, held in Peace River on June 16 to 19. “I have golfed in the games several times and always enjoyed the experience,” noted Linda. “This was the first time at Alberta 55 Plus for Brenda and Paula.” Heyink golfed in the 55 to 65-year-old ladies lowgross category and she won the gold metal paring the course on the last day of the event. Paula and Linda played in the 55 Plus handicap category with Linda successful at bringing home the bronze medal and Paula qualifying to go on to the Canadian Seniors Games

CPS K9 team hones skills By Lori Larsen

Mark September 10 on your calendars and prepare to be awed by the agility, focus and intense connectivity of canine teams, as they round up four days (September 7 to 10) of competition on a public viewing day, during the Canadian Police Canine Association (CPCA) National Championships to be held right here in Camrose. The two main categories of competition include General Duty and Detection, with some dogs that are dually trained competing in both the General Duty and Detection categories. “General Duty dogs will compete in building search, compound search, tracking, evidence locating, agility, obedience and apprehension,” explained Camrose Police Service canine officer Constable Matt Rolfe. “Detection dogs (narcotics and explosives) will compete in five different locations,” added Rolfe. “These locations can range from buses, planes and buildings.” In an effort to ensure the best competition experience, the specific locations where teams will be competing will be limited to teams, judges and competition officials. “The dogs and handlers must be able to focus entirely on the task at hand, so it is important there are as few distractions as possible,” said Rolfe adding that even the competitors will not know the location of the venues until the time of competition.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

Camrose Police Service K-9 handler Constable Matt Rolfe, leads CPS K9 Zoe through a series of tracking exercises to keep her skills sharp and prepare her for the upcoming Canadian Police Canine Association National Championships.

Ten judges from across Canada will be attending the competition, bringing their expertise as current or past trainers from their respective agencies to the judging table. “All events are judged individually,” explained Rolfe. “The scores are tallied and best overall score determines the National champion for each.”

Scores are based on speed, precision, tactics and finding the required evidence or quarries. Teams from as far as Toronto and Quebec are attending and include members and dogs from the RCMP, Canadian Border Services, Alberta Solicitor General Services, Correctional Services of Canada and municipal agencies, in-

cluding Camrose Constable Rolfe and Canine Zoe. September 10 will round up the four day competition with the crowning of the National Champion and an opportunity for the general public to come out and watch demonstrations showcasing the skills and talents of these remarkable teams including: agility, obedience, apprehension

and detection. The free Public Day event will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on September 10 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. More information is available on Instagram camrosepolicek9 or on the CPCA 2022trials.squarespace.com website.

Local non-profit named Emerald Award recipient By Murray Green

A Camrose business received an Alberta-wide environmental accolade with an Emerald Award that is given to organizations and individuals addressing and mitigating the effects of local, regional and global climate and environmental issues. Newo Global Energy (Newo) was recognized for work that follows the Seventh Generation principle, the philosophy that the decisions we make today should consider effects seven generations into the future. Founded by Rajan Rathnavalu in 2016, Newo is a non-profit social enterprise with a mission to explore ways to share abundance through harmonious relationships and build an economy based on more than scarcity and competition. The company specializes in solar-PV design and

installation, energy audits, food-sovereignty initiatives and skills training for people with barriers to employment. Newo has partnered with organizations includ-

ing Maskwacîs Education Schools Commission and Edmonton’s Bissell Centre, as well as completed local solar projects for Bethel Lutheran Church and Frid-

Submitted Newo trainees get hands-on experience installing a system on the roof of Bethel Lutheran Church in Camrose.

hem Baptist Church. Newo hopes to use this award opportunity to start a conversation about how Albertans can create an economy in which we restore and protect the natural world and take care of each other as neighbours and family. “With the honour of this award comes a responsibility to engage in dialogue,” Kaz Haykowsky said. Newo founder Rathnavalu told the Emerald Award audience, “If you go on a journey that’s very long and you’re off one degree, you end up far away from where you want to be. At Newo, the foundation for our vision is: how we act in the world begins at home in our hearts.” He encouraged his listeners to pay attention to their own internal compasses. “If we can all make these tiny little steps inside, I think we can get on a good path.”

“Part of the problem with our current economic paradigm is the pressure on companies to generate profit for shareholders,” Haykowsky said. “No company goes out into the world intending to destroy community or ecology; however, shareholder preeminence creates an ethic where everything else comes second.” The Emerald Awards proved to be an inspiring celebration of good work being done by people in communities across the Prairies. “Our province already has the human and material resources we need to solve the social and environmental challenges we face. If we work together, we can continue to share the abundance of this land for seven generations and beyond,” Haykowsky said.

camroselive.ca | 780-608-2922 Museum houses Canada 150 Time Capsule By Lori Larsen

In an effort to preserve history, a group of insightful Camrosians put together a time capsule in 2017, the year Canada celebrated 150 years as a country. Volunteers, including Deb Trout, Janine Carroll (Camrose Genealogy Society) and Jane CherryLemire (then Camrose Arts Society) along with others, took on the task of collecting a variety of memorabilia commemorating and signifying the significant milestone in Canada’s history. The items were then sealed inside three cardboard box containers taped up and labelled “Canada 150 Celebration Time Capsule. Do Not Open until July 1, 2067.” Items inside the boxes consist of different promotional items from a large contingent of local Camrose businesses, identifying tokens from the City of Camrose, Camrose Police Service and Camrose Fire Department, signed journals from some Camrosian youth, letters from students from schools across Camrose and other memorabilia. The boxes remained at Janine’s home until now,

when they found their permanent home at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum. They will be carefully stored (not stacked) inside one of the Museum buildings in an area surrounded by drywall in order to ensure the integrity of the items to last for 50 years, until 2067 when the boxes

will be opened by curious citizens of that time. Recognizing the safe storage of the Time Capsule is a plaque reading “Home of Canada 150 Time Capsule” which is mounted on the front of a beautifully handcrafted podium built by Brian Bekkeheim, local craftsman and museum volunteer.

Council hears update on Shelter By Lori Larsen

Camrose and Area Animal Shelter (CAAS) manager Susan Hertel provided an update to City of Camrose and council on the role and status of the Shelter. The Shelter is located at Bay 8, 4617-41 Street and currently operated by volunteers, with the exception of one part time paid manager position. The Shelter rents two bays, one to process adoptions, house animals and allow for public access and the other for animal quarantine, storage and board office. Hertel began with a report on the 2021 Shelter statistics which included: 90 Camrose cat intakes; 158 other area cat intakes; 126 cat adoptions; 79 cat transfers; 31 other species intakes; 14 other species adoptions; 19 other species transfers; 19 deceased animals; five cats returned to owners all done with 4990.25 volunteer hours. “We have had as low as 33 cats in care (monthly) and as high as 109. So the average is 68 cats that we typically have in care in a month.” Other species (small animals) taken in by the Shelter include: rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, domestic birds (found loose in the community) and some emergency situations for reptiles. The financial report from April 1, 2021 to March 31 2022, indicated income from adoptions $15,330.00; donations $51,359.99 and bottle drives $18,057.75 and expenses from veterinarian costs $46,758.65; rent $30,194.48 and payroll $99,936.60. The total dollar value of product donations equaled $23,732.16. Hertel spoke of the partnerships developed with a variety of businesses and organizations. “Partnerships created, shows community support and demonstrates the need for the Shelter. “The Shelter is contacted regularly by public who need a place to bring strays and who need to surrender their pets because they are no longer able to care for them,” noted Hertel. “Kittens found without their mother are brought to the Shelter. If very young and require bottle feedings, they are cared for in one of our foster homes.” She also indicated that the Shelter has been contacted by property managers who have found abandoned cats in rental units; and the Shelter takes them in and by the police and neighbours of cat guardians in the event of house fires or emergency situations, in which case the Shelter takes over temporary care of the animal. “Safe keeping care has

been provided for several clients of The Open Doors, as well as community members.” In noting important accomplishments, Hertel said the Shelter hired a part time manager in February 2019, charitable status was received in April 2019 and with the financial help of Battle River Community Foundation the CAAS Society has been able to provide low cost spays and neuters for cats of community members. Ongoing projects include: partnerships with SAFE Team and Cat Cafe on Whyte to transfer some Shelter cats to those Shelters, freeing up space at the Camrose Shelter; policies are continually being developed to create a stronger more efficient organization; the website, Facebook and Instragram pages are continually updated and grant writing continues to occur. Hertel said in an effort to give back to the community the Shelter: provides a place where youth can volunteer including students who may receive credit for school; volunteer opportunities are given to clients of Centra Cam, Aids to Daily Living and other organizations; provisions of food and litter to people experiencing financial hardship (upon request); live traps lent out to members of the public in an effort to catch strays and the creation of local jobs. “Our future goals are to increase the hours the shelter is open to the public; continue providing low cost spay/neuter surgeries to public; provide education presentations to the public and be the host venue for such.” Hertel said the Shelter hopes to continue to provide ongoing trap-spay/ neuter-return program for feral cats; take in and adopt

out dogs and provide dog training and behaviour information to the public. “We also want to work with the City to create and implement cat bylaws and eventually move into a bigger facility to enable sheltering of dogs and have a space where we can provide education sessions to the public.” On a final note Hertel thanked the City for continual support through funding and requested $80,000 annual funding or $50,000 and a building that the CAAS Society can utilize as a shelter. Council inquires Mayor PJ Stasko clarified that currently the City contributions to the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter amounts to $30,000 annually. “If you were to pursue the dog option you would need more space?” Hertel replied that ultimately the Shelter would need a third bay to allow for space to house dogs and allow for separating dogs from cats and others. Councillor Lana Broker asked how long a cat stays in quarantine before they would be allowed to be adopted out? Hertel said the first thing the Shelter does is check the animal for tattoo or microchip and then try to reunite them with their owners. “If that doesn’t happen we will typically hold them for a minimum of three days to allow for people to call in looking for their cats. Any time after that we will vaccinate and deworm them. Once they are vaccinated and dewormed we hold for a minimum of 10 days from that point to make sure they are symptom free before we send them for spay or neuter surgery and they can be adopted out. “If an animal comes in with a tattoo or microchip,

we hold for a minimum of 10 days while we attempt to contact the owner.” Councillor Kevin Hycha inquired about how the adoption income is calculated. Hertel explained that the adoption fees for a cat under seven months are $200 and over seven months $150. “Every animal that it is appropriate for, are spayed/neutered and microchipped before they are made available for adoption. The adoption fee doesn’t quite cover the cost that we put into them.” City manager Malcolm Boyd asked if the request to council for $80,000 includes the concept of a dog pound. “We hope to eventually yes,” replied Hertel. Boyd continued. “So it would be feasible to consider the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter Society as the dog pound if the funding were made available?” Hertel replied she believed so. Boyd inquired about what specifically the CAAS Society was hoping for in the development of bylaws pertaining to cat control. Hertel replied, “As far as cats, we regularly get phone calls from people regarding other people’s cats or homeless cats in their (the caller’s) yards. If we

With regards to the request for funding from the CAAS Boyd suggested. “We will be going into budget deliberations in the fall and that is an opportunity to bring this request back to council for consideration. We currently do spend funds ($54,000 as noted by City deputy manager Kim Isaak) on dog shelter. We might be able to combine that.” Councillor Joy-Anne Murphy inquired as to what the Shelter Society is considering specifically for bylaw. Hertel said the Society did look into and put together information on bylaws of comparable communities which was sent to the City for their information. “Ideally bylaws that would require cat owners to keep their cats at home and have them registered. Bylaws that would encourage spay/ neuter and microchip.” Murphy asked. “In terms of percentages that you are giving out to people in financial hardship situations, how large of a portion of what you do would you say that is? Hertel explained that the Shelter Society applies for grants for spay and neuter programs and based on how big the grants are, the Society figures out how many people can be offered

the program. “We charge the family $35 for spay/neuter and micorchip is mandatory on those. We pay the difference from these grants. As far as what we are giving out to the public, we haven’t been tracking it, it doesn’t happen very often.” Continued on page 15

Animal Shelter update to council Continued from page 14

Hertel noted that the Shelter will also provide donated food and litter to people in financial hardships or people feeding a stray that remains around their home. Issak inquired about what, if anything, does the Shelter do regarding feral cats. Hertel said feral cats are handled differently because they cannot be set up in the adoption room and they find it difficult to find homes for them. She added that they occasionally will take in feral cats, as space allows, separated from the other cats, then have them spayed/neutered and microchipped and then advertise them as adoption by donation. “When people phone me with help for a feral cat situation I will recommend other rescues that have more barn cat programs. It is something we one day hope to address.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland inquired as to how far out from the City of Camrose the Shelter takes other cats. “What do you mean by other areas?” “We do network with other rescues and have transferred some of our cats as far as Red Deer,

Calgary, Edmonton and beyond,” said Hertel. “In turn, to keep those partnerships available, we will take animals from those areas that those rescues are unable to help. But we also do have some of the smaller rescues such as Animal Haven Rescue out of Stettler.” Hoveland asked if the Shelter gets calls from within the County. Hertel replied they do and they have a software program that tracks how many animals are coming from the different counties. “We are hoping to possibly approach those counties for support as well.” Hoveland inquired as to how many foster homes the Shelter utilizes and how do they acquire them. Hertel said the foster homes are acquired through people contacting them requesting an animal, but not for a long term, and some, wanting to spend time with the animals, become volunteers. She said that currently the Shelter only has about six or eight foster homes because of the time required to organize a foster home program. Councillor David Francoeur inquired as to whether or not the Society has identified a particular building

Local high school students develop prototype By Lori Larsen

In a world where science is robustly taking on engineering and robotics, it only stands to reason that students are becoming far more advanced in their knowledge and involvement. Take for instance, École Camrose Composite High School (ÉCCHS) Grade 11 students Tri Nguyen and Rena Warren, who took their interest and talents in engineering one step further with the development of a prototype of the SmartLife Jacket (an automatic inflating life-jacket that can be used when a person in the water is in distress). “In late July last year, during the Summer Olympics organized in Tokyo, we had the pleasure to follow world-class athletes competing in different sports,” explained Tri of how the project idea came to mind. “One of the sports is swimming, where we pondered, that although we are surrounded by water, not everyone can swim with such highly-respected performance as selected athletes.” Supported by the fact that drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental deaths around the world, the two students decided the development of such a product could help minimize these dangers for those wishing to enjoy the leisure activity of swimming. The project began in June a few weeks after the Canada-Wide Science Fair 2021 concluded. Tri had been interested in joining a science competition, and while browsing through possibilities came across the Canada-Wide Science Fair. In order to qualify for the Canada-wide Science Fair, Tri learned that he first had to attend a regional fair in the vicinity of Camrose. As a result he competed in the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair, along with a partner Rena. He decided to start early to allow for the maximum time to prepare the project and recruit a partner (Rena) to reinforce the project further. The project received a bronze medal in the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair allowing it to advance to the Canada-Wide Science Fair. “At the end of March, we attended the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair and successfully received “trips” to the Virtual 2022 Canada-Wide Science Fair,” explained Tri. “Henceforth, my partner and I will be representing the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair, and somewhat of our school, École Camrose Composite High School and Camrose to this year’s Canada-Wide Science Fair.” In an effort to be more competitive on the national stage, Tri and Rena devel-

oped a working prototype of the SafeLife Jacket. The project is called SmartLife Jacket and entails an innovative life-jacket that remains deflated while the person wearing it is swimming, but through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, can identify if the swimmer should become in distress. The life-jacket then automatically inflates allowing the swimmer to remain safe until help arrives. “Since water immersion accidents occur mostly in the open waters where the exact location is hard to be located, a GPS device can be used to locate the user regardless of where they are in the world,” add-

In an effort to seek out some financial support to assist with the continuance of their project, Tri and Rena reached out to the Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak to determine if there would be an interest in sponsoring the project financing for the CanadaWide Science Fair. In their proposal to the Rotary Club they indicated the funds would be used toward the purchase of new parts for the project, better equipment to record the performance of the prototype and fees associated with using facilities, such as the City of Camrose Aquatic Centre pools to test the prototype.

engineering and robotics. ÉCCHS teachers Philip Eriksson and Lindsay Barton are the go-to school resources for the Science Club and were delighted to assist Tri and Rena (as they would any students in the Club) however they could. One of the mandates of the ÉCCHS Science Club is to provide students interested in participating in science competition, specifically the Science Olympics put on by Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientiest of Alberta (APEGA) yearly competition, the opportunity to do so. “We (ÉCCHS) provide the space and direction,” explained Erikkson.“Because

ed Tri. “We also integrated Machine Learning to learn when distress occurs and signals to send the GPS data to a potential search and rescue personnel to dispatch help to the user via the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, where simple access to the internet can allow the user to communicate to all corners of the globe.” Tri said that the technologies used in this prototype are new to the Personal Flotation Devices but as the world continues to innovate, this project will become suitable for the fast-growing future ahead. Prior to the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair, Tri and Rena focused on developing the project through 3D modeling, however after the regional fair, and with success in the “Best of Fair” title with gold medal, they reinvested the money that they received from the awards from the fair toward developing the prototype for the national fair, Canada-Wide Science Fair.

in Science Club, but not actually part of what the Science Club was doing, it was entirely Tri and Rena’s own venture, ÉCCHS was happy to provide the space and some supplies for them to move the project forward. Eriksson’s and Barton’s also provided the voices for the voice activated technology. “It was easier to get permission to use our voices as opposed to students. The prototype had to be able to recognize the word “help” in various forms. “Most of the electronic units Tri owned, he has a very strong base in electronic engineering.” Erikkson said they are delighted to be able to assist these students that show so much initiative. “It makes our jobs a lot more enjoyable when students are engaged and self motivated. Ideally, that is what we try to teach and encourage students to do, because that is what reflects the real life. When they graduate high school or even pass university there isn’t someone there teaching them everything. They need to be self motivated. So if we are seeing that in high school that is very encouraging.” One of the successes ÉCCHS has come to be known for is offering all students a variety of ways to learn including reaching beyond the classroom through clubs, organizations and other offerings. “We are proud that students take these opportunities and proud to be able to provide students with the space to be able to explore their interests,” commented Erikkson. “Success isn’t always measured in first or second place, but when they do find that success we are just as proud as when they just came out to learn something.” As for Tri and Rena they are proud of the success they experienced at the Central Alberta Rotary Science Fair and hope that this pride can be cherished within the school and beyond the classroom doors and onto the community. “As the Canada-Wide Science Fair concluded, we hoped that more young and potential scientists from the younger generations would be inspired to take initiative and be inspired by the science we are enriched within,” said Tri. “We encourage students of the future to pursue their passion for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). STEM is worthwhile to be discovered and chased toward.” To learn more about the SmartLife Jacket project visit https://project board.world/ysc/project/ smartlifejacket.

Plan safe food storage By Murray Green

There is nothing quite like coming together with family and friends to enjoy camping, picnics and barbecuing in summer. Outdoor barbecuing and picnics may mean limited access to refrigeration and clean water. High temperatures and humidity are ideal conditions for bacterial growth, which causes food-borne illnesses such as E.coli and Salmonella, according to Alberta Health Services. Simple precautions can prevent illnesses. Keep cold foods cold. Pack perishable foods in a cooler with ice or freezer packs to maintain a temperature below 4C. Never use the same plate for cooked and uncooked foods. Always cook meats until the internal temperature has reached a safe temperature, measured with a meat thermometer. Always wash your hands before and after handling raw meat, and wash all utensils and surfaces immediately after touching raw meat. Store food away from animals and never bring food into your tent or sleeping

areas. Ensure private water supplies are treated and tested annually. Your local public health inspectors can help with water sampling and treatment options. To find the Environmental Public Health office nearest to you, visit albertahealthservices.ca/eph/eph.aspx or phone 1-833-4764743. When camping, locate a clean potable water source. If not, bring safe water for cleaning, cooking, drinking and hand washing or use boiled or filtered water. Avoid drinking water from lakes, rivers and streams when hiking, camping or fishing. Clear water from mountain streams may look inviting, but it contains harmful parasites such as Giardia which can cause diarrhea and cramps lasting several months. Farm-fresh fruit and vegetables are nutritious. But even they need to be washed before you eat. Wash all food from the field before you eat it. You may need to contact your local Environmental Public Health office if you contract any food-borne illness to help pre-

vent others from getting sick. A common sign of food-borne illnesses is diarrhea. You may also feel sick to your stomach, vomit, or have stomach cramps. Some foodborne illness can cause a high fever and blood in your stool. Most of the time, foodborne illnesses are mild and go away after a few days. Drink plenty of fluids and rest. If you are not getting better or vomiting and diarrhea are severe, contact your doctor or call Health Link at 811 to speak with a registered health care professional.

Olson creates a working man’s truck By Murray Green

Leonard Olson of Hay Lakes owns a 1954 Chevrolet one-ton truck. “I built the box to make better use of it and put a hoist on it. The truck just had a narrow box on it before that was nine feet long. It was a regular factory-made box. I thought that I would get better use out of it by putting the box and hoist on it,” explained Leonard. The Advance-Design is a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after Second World War. Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design. It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. He still uses the truck around the farm for odd jobs. “I took the truck all apart and went through it. I kept the truck original and didn’t modify it except for the box,” he shared. The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express, and cab overs. “I changed the box about five years ago. I installed new upholstery and I put all new tires on the truck. The windows were all good in the truck, so I didn’t have to change them,” said the 87-year-old. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United

FUN FACTS

In 1954, it was the only year for significant design changes. The windshield is now a curved one-piece glass without centre vertical dividing strip. It had a revised steering wheel and revised dashboard. Cargo bed rails, previously angled, are now horizontal. Tail lights were made round instead of rectangular. The grille changed from five horizontal slats to crossbar design commonly referred to as a “bull nose” grille, similar to modern Dodge truck grille. Engine is now a 235 straight-six instead of the 216 engine. Serial number codes unchanged from 1953. Hydramatic automatic transmission is available for the first time as a paid for option. With the truck proving to be very popular in the United States, the same Advanced-Design styling, alongside some parts of the truck, were used on other trucks, made overseas by General Motors’s divisions, such as Opel and Vauxhall. The re-designed 1952 Opel Blitz was similar in appearance, and shared the same doors, while Bedford Vehicles did a similar thing with the Bedford A-Type truck. During the 2000s, the design of the truck was used as inspiration for the Chevrolet SSR, and later for the Chevrolet HHR crossover SUV, that lasted in production until 2012, finally ending the legacy of the Chevrolet Advance Design trucks.

wants. I bought it and took it home to store it until I had time to work on the truck,” added Leonard. The truck has a six-cylinder 235 engine with a fourspeed transmission. “I painted the truck and did all of the work. It is not the best of jobs, but it turned out okay. The original colour was blue. I took a sample in to match the colour and this is what they gave me. The colour I have now is a little brighter than the original, but pretty close. I wanted a little darker blue and according to the chips of paint I had, it matched up. They wouldn’t take the paint back, so I went ahead with painting. However, after painting the truck it turned out to be a brighter shade of blue,” said Leonard. While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the cab overs, there are three main sizes of this truck: the half, three-quarter, and full-ton capacities in short and long

wheelbase. He switched the truck from a six-volt to a 12-volt system to make it compatible with the modern times. “That way it starts better and is easier to get parts such as lights, and other

parts,” said Leonard. He is most proud of the box he built. “I sawed my own lumber. I made some cedar planks for the top to dress it up a little bit.”

The Open Doors receives funding from the province By Lori Larsen

The Camrose Open Door Association (rebranded to The Open Doors, post funding announcement) is set to receive $270,000 in funding to help with the expansion of access to mental health supports for youth. Through the Youth Suicide Prevention Grant Program, Alberta’s government is providing $3 million over the next two years to youth-focused community programs. The Camrose Open Door Association is one of 13 organizations to receive this funding, which will help dedicated professionals provide lifesaving suicide prevention and mental health supports to children and teens.

Fern lost her mother when she was a small child, and she and her family felt that loss keenly. That may have figured largely in her development as a fiercely independent woman for her generation. Fern had a long and dedicated work life, having been employed first in Camrose, then later in Calgary and Edmonton after several years in Arizona. Her last position was in Edmonton in accounts receivable with Edmonton General Hospital. In 2003, she retired to Camrose, having bought her first homea duplex in Duggan Park, where she lived until a short time ago when she made her last trip to the hospital. It was a joy to witness the pleasure Fern took from owning and fixing up her own place. Fern enjoyed travelling and managed a number of major vacations, usually with various family members, to places such as Vancouver (Expo 86), Hawaii, Palm Springs, the San Francisco area, the Maritimes, Montreal, North and South Dakota, and Yellowstone National Park. She took quite an interest in golf for many years and enjoyed golf games with family and friends, having put a hole in the wall in her apartment in Edmonton while practicing her swing! Playing cards was a lifetime hobby for Fern and she enjoyed attending the Camrose Senior Centre to play cards in the afternoons right up until a few months ago. Fern’s last few years were especially challenging for her, with a number of hospitalizations, some of which were the result of ice falls, culminating in broken bones. It was a testament to her fighting spirit that she recovered as well and as often as she did. But those who were close to her knew she had become tired and was ready for a rest. Fern passed away peacefully on Thursday morning, June 30, 2022 at St. Mary’s Hospital, in the loving presence of a sister-in-law, several nieces and a nephew at her side. She will forever be remembered for her feisty personality and her fully developed sense of humour … how she loved to laugh and tease! Fern was predeceased by her parents Andrew and Odelia; siblings Lionel Sommer, Gordon Sommer, Robert (Bobbie) Sommer, Helen Lassu, Warren Sommer, and Lorna Kroetsch; nephews Robert Lassu and Dwayne Lassu, Ricky and Randy Sommer; and greatnephews Rick Hillaby and PJ Bailey; and great-niece Carling Bailey. Left to mourn her passing are her sister Donna Sommer; sisterin-law Florence Sommer; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews. A Funeral Mass was held on Friday, July 8, 2022 at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Fern’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Devon Dale Grundberg

December 24, 1982 ~ June 30, 2022 Devon was born to Dale and Cheryl Grundberg on December 24, 1982. He was welcomed into this world by his parents, sisters, grandmother, and many aunts and uncles. He unexpectedly passed away at his home in Edmonton on June 30, 2022. He will be missed by all of his friends and family. Devon was well loved by everyone. He had many friends and cherished those relationships. He was loyal and sometimes wore his heart on his sleeve, but that was Devon. He appreciated his friends and took those friendships seriously. He loved music and wanted to play drums in a band. He loved playing the drums and guitar. He had his grandpa Grundberg’s guitar and cherished it – he even bought a case for it. Devon was an equipment operator and worked his whole life in that profession at various places, all over Alberta and Canada. He spent a lot of time working for McTaggert in Forestburg and at the diamond mine way up north. He was currently working for Teck Elkview Operations in Sparwood, BC and loved that job. He had plans to move to Sparwood and continue working for them for many years to come. Bottom line, Devon loved his family and friends and wanted to be part of their lives for a long time. Left to cherish his memory are his mother Cheryl; grandmother Carmen Grundberg; sister Leta Stangowitz (Romeo Intile); step-sister Lutina Staniforth; nieces and nephews Breanne Intile, Brayden Intile, and Danielle Juba; aunt Gloria Aberle; uncles Gary, Glen (Leah), and Chris Grundberg; and numerous cousins. He will be sorely missed by everyone. Devon was predeceased by his father Dale; sister Tina Stangowitz; and aunt Debbie Atema. A funeral service was held Monday, July 11, 2022 at the Burgar Memorial Chapel. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to the charity of one’s choice.

Helping to make life more affordable By Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

Inflation rates in Canada are reaching new highs and are continuing to rise. Our government recognizes that these increasing prices are making life significantly more difficult for Albertans and as a result, we are taking steps to make life more affordable. This past month, the Alberta government has taken three concrete steps to fight against inflation – these three steps are just the beginning as there is more to come. One of the ways our government is working to make life more affordable for Albertans is by extending the fuel tax relief. This means that Albertans will continue to save

the 13-cent provincial fuel tax on every litre of gasoline or diesel purchased until at least the end of September. Extending this program supports Albertans and their ability to afford everyday items. Another immediate step our government is taking to combat inflation is providing school boards with fuel cost relief. By reinstating the Fuel Price Contingency Program for school authorities, our government is providing $8.2 million in fuel cost relief to school boards for the current school year, and we will continue to provide additional relief in the upcoming school year if required. This program guarantees that education remains a top priority while simultaneously decreasing the burden of inflation that is being unfairly placed on parents. The third way our government is working to make life more affordable for Albertans is by ensuring that the electricity rebates will start arriving in July. This rebate puts money back in the pockets of Albertans. Approximately 1.9 million households, farms, and small businesses will receive $150 ($50/month). This is a demonstration of our government taking action to help ease the hardship caused by inflation. Another noteworthy action our government has taken recently is the revision of the Alberta Crown prosecutor’s manual. The changes made further protect victims and to

crack down on hate crimes; prosecutors will be required to provide the court with an accused’s criminal record when speaking to bail and must consider whether the use of force in defense should preclude prosecution against victims of crime. These are important adjustments that will help to further protect vulnerable Albertans. During these challenging economic times, our government is dedicated to providing relief and easing the stress that Albertan families are feeling. These measures have helped countless Albertans save money, have assisted in ensuring that Albertans are paying less than Canadians from other provinces, and are keeping Albertans safe. These actions are just the preliminary steps of our government’s efforts to make Alberta more affordable and secure. I will continue working with our government to take the necessary steps to ensure the cost of living remains fair for all Albertans. If you have any questions or concerns, contact my office.

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.

There is nothing like a lazy day on a dock just casting a line and waiting for a nibble. Camrose and District Fish and Game Association Pleasure Island is the perfect place to kick back. Maintained by volunteers, this beautiful little gem of a place offers so much – fishing at a well-stocked pond, walking trails, making use of picnic areas, and enjoying the natural amphitheatre and observations sites, all in a serene natural setting.

Electricity rebates to start By Murray Green Starting in July, almost two million Albertans will receive rebates on their electricity bills to help them manage high electricity costs. More than 1.9 million homes, farms and small businesses will receive monthly credits of $50 on their July, August and September electricity bills, for a total of $150 in rebates. The Alberta government’s $300-million rebate program will help alleviate some of the high utility costs that many families and businesses have faced during recent months. “We are providing targeted support to help hardworking Albertans deal with the rising cost of living. These rebates, combined with the fuel tax exemption and upcoming natural gas rebate, will help the large majority of Alberta households pay their bills while we make the longterm changes needed to make energy more affordable in the years ahead,” said Dale Nally, associate minister of Natural Gas and Electricity. Alberta’s government has worked closely with electricity distributors and retailers to develop and implement the electricity rebate. Albertans currently connected to the system that have consumed electricity within the past calendar year, up to a maximum of 250 megawatt hours per year, are automatically eligible for the rebates.

Support will reach more than 1.9 million Albertans, which means that most farms, residences and small businesses will receive the rebates. Eligible Albertans can expect to see an automatic $50 rebate on their bills. It is being applied directly to eligible utility bills, meaning no application or other action is needed to start receiving the rebate in July. Unlike the previous government’s electricity rate cap, the $50 rebates will apply to the entire bill, not just the energy portion. In addition, the $50 rebates will be on all eligible bills–protecting consumers on the variable regulated rate option as well as those on competitive contracts. Consumers wishing to protect themselves from price volatility may enter into a competitive fixed-rate contract and still be eligible for the $50 rebates. Albertans can visit the Utility Consumer Advocate to see what products are available in their area. The rebate will be listed on each bill as a line item titled GOA Utility Commodity Rebate and $50 rebates will follow in August and September, for a total of $150. Exact timing will vary depending on the billing cycle of one’s utility provider. Consumers who believe they meet the eligibility criteria, but have not received the rebates by the end of July should contact the Utility Con-

sumer Advocate. Alberta’s government is implementing two programs to ensure utilities remain affordable while providing stability for millions of Albertans through the next nine months. Along with the electricity rebate, a natural gas rebate will provide cost certainty and protect eligible Alberta customers from Europeanstyle price spikes starting in October. More details on the natural gas rebate will be announced. With the electricity rebate reaching bills in July, August and September, and the natural gas rebate starting in October, Alberta’s government will be providing support on utility bills for millions of Albertans until March 31, 2023 if prices remain high. All utility customers currently connected to the electricity system that have consumed electricity within the past calendar year, up to a maximum of 250 megawatt hours per year, are automatically eligible for the rebates. Consumers who believe they meet the eligibility criteria, but have not received the rebates by the end of July should contact the Utility Consumer Advocate at 310-4822 or UCAhelps@gov.ab.ca for assistance.

Went to the bathroom but forgot my phone. For a brief moment, I experienced the life of my ancestors and read the label on the shampoo bottle. New dieting tip! Just fill up your car’s fuel tank and you won’t be able to afford groceries. I wish bills had random sales like “50% Off Rent this Month!” or “Spend $100 on Groceries, get $50 of Groceries Free!” Left the back door open at my friend’s house and her Roomba escaped. Hope it goes on an adventure and cleans up the whole world! I used to skinny dip. Now I chunky dunk! My eight-year-old is confused, but not wrong. Sam: “Dad, don’t you have today off?” Me: “Yup.” Sam: “Then why are you working?” Me: “Stuff needs to get done.” Sam: “So even when you have days off, you don’t really have days off?” Me: “Yup.” Sam: “Being an adult sounds stupid.” It’s all fun and games until your arm fat starts waving at you aggressively while you’re blow drying your hair. At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next. Want to freak out your neighbours? Rename your WiFi “FBI Surveillance Van”. The nice part about living in a small city is that when you don’t know what you’re doing, someone else does. When my husband asks why I take such long showers, it’s like he doesn’t realize I have to let the conditioner soak in along with the ramifications of all my life choices up to this point. If you cannot find your dog, open the fridge door. He’s standing right behind you. Parenting teens in the summer makes no sense at all. They are still asleep at 2 p.m. and then they get up to make ramen noodles for “breakfast” while I am prepping dinner. Beware of a new Amazon scam. My husband ordered me some expensive jewellery, but motorcycle parts came instead. Thankfully, they fit his bike …

Located in a quiet, safe crescent, this two-storey, four-bedroom home is perfect for raising a family. The home itself has undergone some updates adding style and trend including a subtle paint pallet with bright white trim. The front living room features a beautiful bayed window where you can arrange a couple chairs for curling up and taking in the sunlight. The flow of the home continues into the good-sized dining area where plenty more natural light beams in from large windows. You will love hosting dinner parties here. The kitchen has also been updated with crisp white cabinets, beautiful countertops, a white subway tile backsplash and stainless appliances. A peninsula serves as a place for children or guests to pull up a stool and visit with the cook. A spacious family room with a

Matt Banack sleek tile surround gas fireplace is perfect for family movie night. Patio doors lead off onto a patio area into the fully fenced and lovely landscaped backyard. A two-piece bathroom on the main level offers convenience for everyone. The upper level includes the primary bedroom with a private three-piece en suite, two more bedrooms and a large four-piece main bathroom with a vanity area perfect sitting and getting ready. Once again, the bathrooms have been nicely updated The lower level has a good-sized great room that could easily house a pool table or table for fun family competitions. A fourth bedroom on this level would provide an older child with much needed privacy. This spacious family home with plenty of updates is located at 6509-37 Avenue and is a lot of value for $339,900.

For all the young girls getting tattoos, remember a butterfly on the back becomes a buzzard in the crack when you get older. A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text: “If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you!” The husband, typically non-romantic, replied, “I am on the toilet. Please advise.” Just found out the company that produces yardsticks won’t be making them any longer. If someone from Ziploc could contact literally anyone in the cereal business, that would be great. Earl and Bubba are quietly sitting in a boat fishing, chewing tobacco and drinking beer when suddenly Bubba says, “I think I’m gonna divorce the wife – she ain’t spoke to me in over two months.” Earl spits overboard, takes a long, slow sip of beer and says, “Better think it over. Women like that are hard to find.” I have an idea for a chain of Elvis steak houses. It will be for people who love meat tender. I don’t want to adult today. I don’t even want to human today. Today, I want to dog. I’ll be lying on the floor in the sun. Please bring me snacks and scratch my belly. Not to brag, but every time I’ve played hard to get, I’ve won. I love the phrase, “Bear with me” because it could either mean “Please be patient” or “The heist at the zoo was a success.” I would call my fashion style, “Clothes that still fit.”
