This sums up the attitude and the mission of Bonnie Cooke and Holly McIndoe, two Camrosians who have become increasingly concerned about individuals and families struggling to put food on their tables in this current high-cost economic phase. The dynamic duo brainstormed a plan to offer a free Spaghetti Supper, going forward, on Wednesday evenings at the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge in Camrose. This initiative has come together after plenty of hard work, tremendous volunteer spirit and, as usual, exceptional commitment from the local small business community. See Lori Larsens’s story on page 2 of this edition. Linda Rostad (recorder/administrator Moose Lodge Camrose), Judy Sturek (Lodge secretary), Bonnie Cooke, Tom Niven (63 years of service to the Order), Wilma Boos (Senior Regent Women of the Moose) and Holly McIndoe get ready to serve up some spaghetti on Wednesday nights starting August 31.

Realizing that it would take the assistance of many in the community to make their heartfelt idea come to fruition, Bonnie and Holly started making phone calls and knocking on doors. Before long, they had the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge Camrose pro viding the venue, offers of donations of food and/ or reduced costs for food, a donation of aprons for vol unteers, and $2,300 in cash donations that will be used towards purchasing the necessary items to make the meal.“Inorder to bring life to this vision of giving back to our community we not only need the generous dona tions of our community but volunteers to prepare and serve the supper,” said Hol ly. “Volunteers who would be willing to come out and give a little of their time and have a lot of fun to bring joy to others in our community who truly may need a little help and some extra caring.”

Dr. Olaitan enjoys all aspects of general medical practice, and is very passionate about her patients’ care. She is accepting new patients and would love to meet you To have your name added to a list to see Dr. Olaitan, please call 780-672-2423 and choose option 6.

Beginning at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, August 24, vol unteers are needed to come to the Moose Lodge (500152 Avenue) and help put the ingredients together for the August 31 supper in what can only be described as “a saucy night of fun”. Bonnie and Holly both agree that this is a win/ win/win initiative. A win for all those in the community who just want to be able to enjoy a nutritious free meal and may need a helping hand up. A win for the volun teers who will not only have the pleasure of doing good for others, but have fun with other like-minded vol unteers.And a win for our com munity overall for realizing the best gift of all is the gift of giving.Thesupper will be open to anyone wishing to attend with hopes that members of the community can take this time to sit and “break bread”, enjoy the company of others, but mostly take time to appreciate each other and whatever may be happening in each others’ lives. The first supper is planned for Wednesday, August 31 at the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge Camrose located at 500152 Avenue with seatings at 5, 6 and 7 p.m. “This may be the only warm homemade meal that some people may have in their week,” thought Holly. “We want to make a positive impact on our neighbours within our beautiful city.” For more information on volunteering or donating to the Spaghetti Supper initiative, contact Bonnie Cooke at 780-672-1026 or Holly McIndoe at 780-679-3960.

By Lori Larsen With the rising costs of living comes an increase in the amount of people in our community struggling to make ends meet and often not knowing where to turn, which is exactly why mem bers of the Loyal Order of the Moose Lodge Camrose Bonnie Cooke and Holly McIndoe decided to reach out a helping hand. The two were brain storming one day about what they could do to help those in need in our com munity, specifically those struggling with food secu rity. The thought of chil dren, students, seniors, homeless, or anyone in our community for that mat ter, going without food was too much for them to think about and so the two set the wheels in motion. “We came up with the idea of offering anyone in our community the oppor tunity to come out and en joy a free, nutritious spa ghetti supper,” explained Bonnie. “Our vision is to be able to serve this spaghetti supper every Wednesday, starting with the first one on August 31.”

• Impact–Team members think their work matters and makes a positive difference. The researchers found that by far the most important team dynamic is psychological safety. That’s the ability to be bold and take risks without worrying that team mem bers will judge you. The research fits my experience. When I think about teams I’ve been part of–whether family, work teams, or community groups–the most effective teams I’ve been part of had all five of the characteristics. Those were fun. The saddest team I ever experienced was in govern ment. The first three years were great. Our work team members could take risks with one another, were depend able, understood our role, were passionate about the meaning of our work, and believed we were having a positiveThenimpact.theminister of our department changed. We were no longer allowed to do the work we believed was so valuable. That was the stuff of burnout. Our team disinte grated as, one by one, people left to find more rewarding work.I like thinking that in our families, our workplaces, our communities–and yes, our sports teams–we can apply those five characteristics. On the other hand, think about elected people in government. If they make a misstep–or even if they don’t–they can pretty much count on being trashed in public. They are fair game for the opposition, the media and we the public. This does not foster a high-performing team. Google’s research showed that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s not just individual team members. It’s how they work together. Systems and processes are important too. In our Western way of thinking, for a couple of cen turies we’ve focused on the individual. We haven’t always realized that how team members work together can be far more powerful than the total of all the individual team members’ characteristics. Nice to know that as influential an organization as Google is seeing a bigger picture. Any thoughts about “teams” you’re part of or have been part of? I’d love to hear from you.

SPA DAY BY MAGPIE

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, August 16, 2022 – Page 4

Travis Toews as our finance minister hasn’t been able to prove to our Audi tor General where he spent $4 billion of taxpayers’ mon ey that was intended to be used to help us fight the COVID pandemic. Does he need the RCMP to help him findWhileit? Jason Ken ney wants to kick out the RCMP, at a huge cost to taxpayers, for daring to investigate his party, his pal Pierre Poilievre promises to destroy the careers of about 7,500 young Canadians, if elected, by scrapping the CBC for daring to criticize his brand of stupid politics.

Go team go It’s not usual to be able to watch live hockey in August. An unexpected bi-product of COVID-19 has made that possible. Last December, the International Ice Hockey Federation’s World Junior Championship tournament was postponed due to an outbreak of COVID.

Ten teams are in Edmon ton for the August tourna ment–Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and United States. (Russia was one of last December’s ten teams but was excluded because its country invaded the Ukraine. Latvia replaces Russia.) I’m not watching the games, but I am reading about them. It’s making me think about teams and what makes them effective or not effective. For any organization to thrive–whether it’s a sports team, a family, a workplace or a community group–teams need to work together effectively. Google has done extensive research into the skills and character traits of a “dream team.”

• Structure and clarity–Team members have clear roles, plans and goals.

. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

The Google researchers thought they knew what they’d find. “We were pretty confident that we’d find the perfect mix of individual traits and skills necessary for a stellar team. Take one Rhodes Scholar, two extroverts, one engineer and a Ph.D.,” they said on their blog. But that’s NOT what they found. For two years, they analyzed more than 180 teams and interviewed hundreds of employees. They learned the secret to a high-perform ing team is less about individuals and more about team dynamics. High performing teams almost always had five characteristics.

In other words, if you don’t agree with these Reform ers, you don’t belong in their world.It’s obvious that Poilievre wants to bring the American Republican style brand of stupid poli tics to Canada. Why else would he praise Kenney for his mismanaged handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and these truckers for the horrific mess they created in Ottawa and Coutts, and bashes Trudeau for want ing to protect all Canadians from the stupid gun violence we are seeing in the U.S. by banning assault rifles and handguns. Those of us who hunt know they can’t be used for hunting and should not be made avail able for just anyone to buy. My friends and I aren’t fans of Trudeau, but know he has saved this province dur ing this COVID pandemic and latest oil industry crash by providing Albertans with an extra $30 billion, and we know these Reformers wouldn’t have done it.

• Dependability–team members get things done on time and meet high standards of excellence.

• Meaning–Work is personally important to team mem bers.

The nomination election didn’t turn out the way we had hoped, but I’m proud of the efforts of our campaign team, and appreciative of the support we received in my bid for the UCP Camrose candidacy.Weput forth some good platform ideas, some which were new and others which built off of UCP programs already in place. I met some great people throughout the riding on this journey and we attract ed many new members to the party during the cam paign. I congratulated Jack ie Lovely in person on Sat urday night. Going forward, we need to work together as a constituency to unite conservatives in order to be in a position to win the 2023 election.Thank you to our cam paign team, donors and sup porters, and thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and vote and be part of the democratic process.

• Psychological safety–team members feel safe to take risks and to be vulnerable in front of one another.

KevinCamroseSmook, Disappointing leader Mr. Hill states, “Now that it is obvious that Poilievre will be the next CPC leader, it may be advantageous personally for Mr. Kurek to jump on the Poilievre bandwagon, but where are Mr. Kurek’s principles? Mr. Kurek states that ‘it is key that Conserva tives stay united and put egos and petty personal ambitions aside.’” I would argue that supporting the future leader would support Conservative party unity. The third debate was add ed on because the first two required debates didn’t dent Mr. Poilievre’s substantial lead. Looking at numbers, it appears it is Mr. Charest who is the divisive force, and that’s why we have leader ship races, and not simple appointments.Asforclimate change, the models which drive the claims of the propo nents aren’t supported by the observable data, which is why climate agencies such as NASA, NOAA, East Anglia University, and Environment Canada don’t keep data records, only using models to support their claims. Witnessing the results of policies as they unfold in real time, I would say that Mr. Kurek, and Mr. Poilievre, both of whom have young families, have a firmer grasp of the issues than their opponents. Michael Andresen,Camrose Poilievre politics Those of us whose fami lies were longtime Alberta Conservative supporters and spent countless hours vol unteering for the Lougheed and Getty governments find it hard to believe what a farce these phony conserva tives have become. None of our family and friends have any intention of supporting any of these UCP candi dates and are disappointed to see that many of our fel low seniors are willing to believe their lies. Brian Jean wants us to give up collecting any oil royalties to help his rich oil men friends become richer, but can’t explain how he would replace the lost rev enues it would create. Danielle Smith wants to bring back the Alberta Sovereignty Act that lawyers warn will cost Alberta seniors their Old Age Security Payments, Canada Pension Plan Payments and their Public Health Care Benefits. Why wouldn’t it?

Pat Horton, Camrose Booster There is nothing like a little help from friends, even in nature. A couple of magpies have no concern at all over helping out this young white tail deer by removing some unwanted guests, such as ticks or other pests. As for the deer, she doesn’t seem to mind having some spa treatment.

Kids’ Camp introduces the joy of camping

By Lori Larsen Camping is a way for many peo ple to escape everyday life and get out into the great outdoors–experience nature and all its wonders and all its benefits to our health and well being. Whether it means spending time surrounded by trees, meadows of wildflowers and the sounds of nature, or sitting around a crackling fire at night gazing into the vast dark skies, camping builds relationships, offers opportunities to learn, reduces stress, increases physical activity but most of all reconnects us with Mother Earth. As a way to bring the camping ex perience to children, while providing valuable skill sets, the City of Cam rose and Action for Healthy Commu nities hosted a fun Camping Skills/ Adventure Camp on August 8, 9 and 10 at the Stoney Creek Centre from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. “The camp focused on developing camping and outdoors skills of the at tendees with lots of fun and laughs along the way,” said City of Camrose Greenspce and Wildlife Steward ship coordinator and camp facilitator Rhyleigh Henault. “Skills like tent/shelter making, fire building, knot tying, orienteer ing and carving were introduced and practiced. We also included a hike and scavenger hunt activities to prac tice our skills.”

Action for Healthy Communities is a program designed to assist fami lies that have recently immigrated to Canada, including Camrose, to make connections. Henault remarked that the chil dren of these families, who participat ed in the Camping Skills/Adventure Camp, and who had never been camp ing in Canada before, were excited to learn new skills, but also get to know other children and make new connec tions in the community. Whether it is pitching a tent or parking the RV, one might say camping is pretty much a Canadian tradition. “I think that camps like these are important because not only is it a great way for children to socialize and have fun in the summer, but they get to learn lifelong skills that can help them in the future,” said Henault. “I also like to think that by intro ducing the children to these skills, it fosters an appreciation for the envi ronment around them and they will grow to be stewards and protectors of nature.”

As for Henault, she was excited to be a part of enriching these children’s lives by introducing them to some thing that becomes a way for them to relax, develop a future hobby or even career. “Overall, we are trying to accom plish the goal of giving the children a memorable and fun summer camp where they come away with lifelong camping skills and a greater appre ciation of nature.” Who has “smore” fun than campers?

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Participants of the City of Camrose and Communities for Healthy Living, Kids’ Camp held on August 8, 9 and 10 at the Stoney Creek Centre learned some crafts they can use while camping.

Question: What is the Stats Canada Crime Severity Index (CSI) and what does it mean to Camrose? Answer: The Crime Severity Index is a compilation of all police reported crimes in a community, that is provided to Stats Canada. These statistics are then input into a formula that takes into account things such as population, severity of the crime (person vs. property) and various other factors. A number is then generated that ranks a community’s Crime Severity Index against others across the nation. This year, the City of Camrose CSI dropped by 1.4% overall which is a positive move in the right direction. Camrose ranks 73rd in the country for municipalities with a population over 10,000. a question for the Chief? Email LaGrange Chief of Police Camrose Police

• Roger Gar neau, owner of Gar neau Inc. of Nisku, announced plans to build a $12 million pipe coating plant on a 135-acre parcel of land adjacent to the Camrose Pipe Company plant. In announcing the decision to build in Camrose, he said, “There were four sites being considered but we had lots of our people come and visit Camrose, and when it came time to decide, everyone said, ‘Let’s go to Camrose!’” There were a number of other factors that attracted the company to Camrose, including proximity to Camrose Pipe Company plant and accessibility to both CNR and CPR lines.

By Lori Larsen With the return of the Big Valley Jamboree, Cam rose Police Service reports that, for the most part, the festival was enjoyed with out any major concerns. However, as would be expected when that many people are congregated in one area mixing alcohol and good times, there was bound to be some incidents requiring police response. According to Camrose Police Service Inspector John Corbett, there was a total of 83 reported police occurrences, in comparison to 103 in 2019, the last year BVJ was held prior to CO VIDSomecancellations.ofthese occur rences include: one sexual assault, three assaults, 13 impaired occurrences, and three“Thethefts.remainder of po lice-reported occurrences included liquor complaints, noise complaints, colli sions, general assistance, and one major site eviction of a problem campsite.”

• Bertha Ar my Worms have appeared in the district rape crops east of Bawlf and in the Kelsey and Edberg areas. These are being sprayed by air with a Lannate solution. The County provides the chemicals at cost and Ted Havlik, Agricultural Field Man for the County, mixes the chemicals for distribution. Larry Williams, District Agriculturist, studied locations to be sprayed, advising spray pilot Scott Kinniburgh accordingly. Far mers could request the service but were responsible for the cost of chemicals and the spray application.

There was a total of 103 violation tickets issued on site during the event com pared to 203 in 2019. “The same number of traffic tickets were issued both years; however, the number of liquor violations issued in 2022 were signifi cantly less than in 2019,” reported Corbett, stating that officers wanted to bal ance enforcement actions and education for patrons on the site Corbettgrounds.saidthere was a total of 14 arrests at the 2022 Jamboree site, com pared to 29 in 2019. The arrests included: impaired driving (5); public intoxication (5); breach of undertaking (1); outstand ing warrant (1); theft of ve hicle (1); and other provin cial statute (1). “Five of the 14 arrested subjects were lodged into cells because the subjects were not able to safely care for themselves,” explained Corbett.Corbett said that high visibility and a proactive strategy were the main goals of police presence at the event.“Oneproactive strategy that had a fairly big impact this year was the deploy ment of daily Checkstops,” he explained. “A total of 13 drivers were intercepted and taken off the road who were either over the le gal limit (‘Fail’ readings), or not quite over the legal limit but should not have been driving (‘Warn’ read ings). Overall, there was a 63 per cent increase in Impaired Driving events at this year’s event compared to 2019.”Henoted that all of these drivers were exiting the BVJ site on their way into the City of Camrose during daytime hours, and that officers also observed that once people noticed the police were conducting Checkstops, several motor ists turned around and re turned to their campsites.

Corbett said that while these trends represent some favourable public safety experiences, there were some factors that may have caused a decrease in police calls, including not having a walk-up police station on site and the Friday evening weather system that shut down main stage and beer garden“Overall,entertainment.theevent was a very positive one, and it was great to see the event return to full operation in our community, and people being able to get out and enjoy it after a long hia tus,” concluded Inspector Corbett.

Donations help support student success By Lori Larsen As the summer begins to wind down and we draw closer to September and school starting again, families with school-aged children are facing the “back to school” supply lists for students recommended by most school divisions. Sadly, the past few years of dealing with the pandemic and an economic turndown, some families within our communities are struggling just to get by, never mind having to find the funds to purchase school supplies.Because every child and youth deserves the chance to be as successful as they can in school, Camrose Family Resource Centre (CFRC) and Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) have partnered with Camrose Staples for the Tools for Schools. “The program reduces a known barrier preventing children and youth from successful learning and participation in school–access to school supplies,” explained CDSS executive director Lyndel Kasa. “There are many families who cannot afford the supplies needed for school and this year the need will be greater due to the economic impacts of DuringCOVID-19.”themonth of August and up to September 11, Staples employees will be asking customers at each transaction if they would like to donate to the Tools for Schools. Staples will then provide CDSS and CFRC with vouchers to distribute to families in need that reside within the City of Camrose or Camrose County. The vouchers can then be redeemed for a grade specific pre-filled backpack from Staples. “Being a part of the Tools for Schools program is a natural fit for us,” said Camrose Family Resource Centre program coordinator Krista Lantz. “Successful learning and participation for children in school leads to a successful family overall.”Kasa added that when the families come to pick up their voucher, they will be connected with the Camrose Family Resource Centre (CFRC) and CDSS for information, referral and supports.Camrose and District Support Services reaches individuals and families in the City of Camrose, Camrose County, and the villages of Hay Lakes, Bittern Lake, Edberg, Bawlf and Rosalind, providing preventative social programs and services that help people improve quality of life and enhance capacity to deal with crisis situations should they arise. The Camrose Family Resource Centre is part of the Camrose and Area Family Resource Network. “We provide consistent, flexible and accessible programs to families with children 0-18 years of age in the City of Camrose, Camrose County, Beaver County and Flagstaff County,” explained Lantz. “These programs include family support, information and referral, parent education, family programs and events, developmental screening and rural support.”Lantz continued by saying that the aim at CFRC is to support parents in navigating their parenting journey through connection. “Connection with the staff here at the CFRC, to participate in our programs and services, but also connection with other agencies, families and supportive programs in the community. Families can call our office or come down to our office and access our services.”Last year, the Tools For Schools program distributed 35 backpacks to families in the Camrose area. This year, with the need being elevated, people are encouraged to give what they can to help students succeed. A bin will also be set up in the Camrose Staples store to collect any donations of school supplies including any unused or unopened supplies you have left from a previous school year.The backpacks are set up to suit Grade levels and include a variety of colours and styles to suit individual preferences.Insupport of the CDSS and CFRC, the Chase the Ace progressive raffle, sponsoring organization Kinsmen Club of Camrose, has chosen the Tools For Schools as the Draw 29 feature charity. Proceeds from the funds raised during the ticket sales of this draw will be donated to the Tools for Schools program. “Back to school time is always exciting, especially when you have everything you need for learning,” commented Kasa. “Not everyone has that opportunity. The Tools for Schools can help those unable to afford all the necessary supplies –and keep that excitement alive.” For more information on Camrose and District Support Services, visit camrosefcss.ca For more information on Camrose Family Resource Centre, visitcamrosefrc.com.LoriLarsen,Camrose

I loathe swear words. There are so many rich, descrip tive words in the English language that it’s a real shame when people choose to use the same word to describe everything.Words often don’t translate into other languages. Last summer, while reading my daughter a book called The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall, the father says something to his daughters in Latin, which they look up and discover directly translates to “liar, liar, your trousers are burning.” Apparently the rhyme “liar, liar, pants on fire” doesn’t translate well. Some words are just downright funny. Here are a few words guaranteed to make people smile if you toss them into a regular sentence: hullaballoo, shenanigans, whipper snapper, lollygag, bamboozled, flabbergast, nincompoop, and gobbledygook. Why not use them together? The el derly man was flabbergasted that the young whippersnap pers could make such a hullaballoo, while getting into some shenanigans, but he didn’t lollygag.

I first started writing for The Camrose Booster almost nine years ago, I was nervous about taking the spell ing and grammar test that Berdie Fowler, late co-founder of The Booster, had created. I never found out what my exact score was, but I thought it was a valuable experience and I enjoyed being tested. After all, as Berdie believed, if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. I am good at spelling and my family knows it. The other day, my son asked me how to spell a word. I told him and then asked if he was writing a letter or something. He said that no, he just wanted to see if I knew how to spell that particular word. To be completely honest, I cringe when I see there/ their/they’re or to/two/too or your/you’re used incorrectly. This is simple memorization and it matters! Sometimes spelling isn’t easy to figure out when you consider the rule i before e except after c…oh yeah, and except after about 50 other words like either, neighbour, glacier, Leif, to name a few. Again though, it comes down to memorization. I have even compiled a few grammar jokes, like this one: My three favourite things are eating my friends and not using commas. Or this one: I like correcting grammar, but I like having friends better. Or a journalism joke: What’s black and white and read all over? (A newspaper. My friend’s son answered: a zebra in a blender, which was definitely an un expected answer.)

My youngest son de scribed the lake water as being “tepid” one day and then “scalding” the next. My friend teased me, because we knew where the words were coming from. I can’t help it, I like words. I use lots of different words and I try to find ones that are funny. Why say barely warm or hot when you can say tepid or scald ing? A while ago, I thought it would be funny to choose a word and try to casually slip it into a sentence every day for a week. This, of course, led to much groaning, eye rolling and laughter from the kids. I succeeded in adding the word “moist” and “damp” to our everyday vocabulary. I threatened to use “soggy” regularly, but never got around to it. My daughter has pointed out that most of the words I find funny are water related, which does appear to be true. My daughter and I talk about our favourite words. One of mine is “unbidden,” meaning a thought that arises on its own, without your conscious effort. My daughter likes zugzwang, which means a situation in chess where every possible move is a bad one, or one that will result in loss. Then, while reading, she came across her new favourite word “spindrift”, which is the spray blown along the surface of theWhensea.

cars with DART SWINGER Murray Green, Camrose Booster Doug Coughlin returns to car shows with his 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. Although the car looks original, he beefed up the car by adding a 383 engine for more power on the road. big engines were a hit be cause they were the fastest. “I really like the horse power in this car. It moves pretty good and I like the speed it offers. I have 323’s in the rear end, which is something I might change. The only thing I don’t like about this car is the rear end. I would like to change it to a 355 or a 370 just to give it a little more power from the get-go,” said Doug. The production Dart was introduced as a lowerpriced, full-size Dodge in 1960 and 1961, became a mid-size car for 1962 and then was a compact from 1963 to 1976. “I don’t drive this car very often. I should go to more car shows now. The front seats are out of a 2000 Dodge Dakota. They had bench seats before, so I’ve changed that out. There has been a lot of work that has gone into this vehicle. This is not the original co lour. This is called an At lantic Blue, which is simi lar to a Dodge Dakota that I owned. Normally, they come in three colours: B3, B5 and a B7. This is a B5 colour,” shared Doug. Dodge went with dark er colours as the number went higher. B5 paint was often the most desirable because it reflected differ ently, depending on the lighting. It often glistens in the bright sunlight, great for carDartsshows.were downsized large cars developed to re place Plymouths in the standard, low-priced car segment for the Dodge dealer“Thisnetwork.caris very fun to drive and I enjoy cruising with it,” he added. FUN FACTS The Dart was refreshed for 1970 with front and rear changes designed to bring the car closer to the design themes found in Dodge’s full-size vehicles through grille and contour changes. In the rear, the Dart’s new rectangular tail lights were set into a wedge-shaped rear bumper design continuing the angled trailing edge of the new deck lid and quarter panels. Changes to the fuel system improved drivability, economy, and emission control. Part-throttle downshift was added to the eight-cylinder automatic transmis sions. In compliance, side marker lights and reflectors were installed at all four corners. All 1970 Darts got the federally mandated steering column and ignition lock. The Swinger name was applied to all the Dart two-door hardtops except in the high-line custom se ries. Other changes were made to the Dart line to avoid internal competition with Dodge’s new Challenger: the Dart convertible was discontinued along with the op tional 383 cubic inch (6.3 L) V8, leaving the 275 bhp (205 kW) 340 4-barrel V8 as the top Dart engine.

By Murray Green Doug Coughlin of Wetaskiwin owns a 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. “I’ve had this car for about 10 years. I found this car in Red Deer and at the time it had a 318 motor in it, which was the original engine. I found an engine that was built by a Leth bridge speed shop and put a 383 motor in it with a 727 stage two shift kit,” ex plained Doug. “I wanted something that gives me 350 to 400 horsepower. I had the in side done by Camrose Up holstery and the body was done by Murray Hender son who is from the Cam rose area somewhere,” he laughed.Dodge Dart is a line of automobiles marketed by Dodge from the 1959 to 1976 model years in North America.“Ithas been a labour of love. This is the first car show for me in four or five years (in Round Hill). Back in the day, I had one, a Dodge Dart, and I was ac tually looking for a B body, a Roadrunner or Satellite, but then I decided on this one. The body was in pretty good shape, so I grabbed it,” heOftenrecalled.smaller

The performance model in the Dart line for 1970 was the Swinger 340 two-door hardtop. It came with functional hood scoops with 340 emblems. Standard equipment included front disc brakes (only on the Swinger), heavy-duty Rallye suspension, a 3.23:1 rear axle ratio, fiberglass-belted bias-ply tires and a bum blebee stripe.

Just like he dealt with all his experiences in life, Rick managed his declining health this past year with strength and determination. His joy in life was to spend as much time as possible with his loved ones, and his biggest goals this year were to attend the wedding of his granddaughter, and to be able to give Vida a beautiful ring on their 50th wedding anniversary, which they celebrated while he was in hospital on July 22nd. On his final day, he was surrounded by his wife and children, whom he adored more than anything else in the world. He had a deep love for his grandchildren as well, spending many of his leisure hours attending their sports and activities - always proud, always supportive. In his final days, he was able to give some last-minute advice and to have a quiet laugh with them at his bedside. Rick was a leader who was never daunted to stand for what he believed was right and true. He wrote his own rules, challenged authority and he paved his own way. If you said he couldn’t do it, he would make sure he could. He generously gave many years of his time as a volunteer and Chief of the Bashaw Fire Department, as well as other volunteer positions in the community of Bashaw. In his younger years, he had a passion for Soap Box Derby and forestry, and in his later years, you would find him at the golf course. There were also many fishing and hunting trips sprinkled in over the years with his best pals. Rick was an entrepreneur, a senior manager and a trusted colleague during his life and career. However, if you asked Rick, he would not have identified his greatest accomplishments as any of those positions, he would have declared that it was being a husband, father and papa. Rick is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Vida; son Chad (Christine) Lewis of Black Diamond and their son Carson; daughter Jill (Brad) Parsons of Camrose and their children Kailyn (Dalton) Bellmond, Chase, Macy and Jett Parsons; mother Louise Lewis; brothers Loren (Ellen) Lewis and Garnett (Karen) Lewis; sister Wanda (Dennis) Chawrun; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and beloved friends. Rick was predeceased by his father Dale Lewis; parents-in-law Osborne and Claire Northey; brothers-in-law Danny Shaw, Lloyd Northey, Douglas Sten and Murray Northey; and great-niece Kiera Shaw. A public graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 13, 2022 at the Bashaw Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Rick’s memory may be made to the Camrose Public Library or the Bashaw Cemetery. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com

Sherry Lynn Killen March 2, 1950 ~ August 6, 2022 Sherry, of Camrose, Alberta, was born on March 2, 1950, and passed away peacefully on August 6, 2022, at the age of 72. Throughout her long battle with cancer, Sherry never gave up battling, right to the end. She had a beautiful smile and she touched all with her kindness and unselfish attitude. Sherry met Mike at a dance and found an odd coincidence –they shared the same birthday. Mike quickly fell for Sherry and they were soon married, a marriage that lasted over 52 years. Over the years, she met many friends as they moved often due to Mike’s work, finally settling in Camrose. She had many interests including camping, curling, cards, bowling, and her crafts. Her Christmas village was an amazing display! Family was important and she spent a great deal of time with her and Mike’s families. Her Kin and BMO families also provided many lifetime friendships and good times. She loved her seventeen-year career at Centra Cam before retiring in 2009. Her next ten winters were spent in Arizona, where she enjoyed many good times and new lifetime friendships. Sherry is survived by her husband Mike; son Tony; siblings Barb (Ron) McCharles, Sandie (Pete) Adams, Stawse Hammer, Bill (Debbie) Hammer and Rick (Lynn) Hammer. She was predeceased by her parents Robert and Isabel Hammer; brothers Bob, Fred, Howard and Brian Hammer; and sister Judy Cheeseman. A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 22, 2022, at Burgar Memorial Chapel, 481751 Avenue, Camrose with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating.

In high school, Nancy participated in work experience as an Administrative Assistant at AFSC and went on to work in both the Red Deer and Lacombe offices over her 35-plus year career.

Mildred (nee Lyseng) Bjorgum was born in the Armena District to Emil and Martha Lyseng. Mildred was baptized and confirmed at Scandia Lutheran Church. Norwegian was spoken in the home, and Mildred did not learn English until she began school. Throughout her life, she was very proud of her Norwegian ancestry. She was schooled at the one-room Lyseng schoolhouse located near the family farm. She enjoyed the music often played in her house by her fiddle-playing father, and she also became an accomplished piano player. Checkers was also a favourite pastime, and she willingly humbled many challengers. Mildred continued her post-secondary education in Camrose at the Canadian Lutheran Bible College. Lloyd and Mildred were married in Armena on August 14, 1948. They lived on the Bjorgum family farm, near Kingman. Their marriage was blessed with six children. Mildred always remained active in her church; playing music, and often taking on administrative positions, such as church treasurer. In 1980, after more than thirty years of farming, Lloyd and Mildred moved to Rosebud for eighteen years, where they made many friends. She became the Canada Postmaster in Rosebud, and enjoyed the many acquaintances she met there. Mildred was quickly well known in their new community, and again became very active in the Community Church. She also was well known for her knitting, crocheting, sewing, baking, jam and syrup making. Lloyd and Mildred often had their grandchildren staying with them during the summer holidays. The grandkids have many happy memories of their grandparents. The couple returned to Camrose in 1998. In April 2010, Lloyd and Mildred moved together into Rosealta Lodge. He passed away on October 23, 2010 at the age of 89 years. Mildred remained active in Rosealta, where she would often play the organ before the noon meal, for visiting church singing groups, and for memorial services. Family was always important to Mildred and she took great joy in her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and all of the “outlaws”. Mildred was predeceased by her husband Lloyd; sisters Elsie and Luella; brothers Richard and Arthur; three nephews; and one niece. She will be missed by her brother Wilbert Lyseng.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, August 16, 2022 – Page 26

“The boys (players) would lit erally just take her and go. You would think these boys would be scared of a baby, but it only took a few times holding her and the boys would get more confident. “It didn’t re ally matter who we billeted, they (players) were just kind of drawn to her,” mosphereAndrea.commentedWiththeatofthe rink playing such an important role, these players are the positive reinforcement Aria needs to continue her growth, while, on the other hand, Aria pos sesses a sense of calming for these otherwise energetic young men. “She loves the rink and everyone at the rink knows her. She is always happy when she is there and that is contagious.”Somuch so, that even when the players are hav ing a rough go, Andrea says their spirits seem to lift the minute they see Aria, who more often than not will wait for them in the hallway to the dressing room offer ing fist bumps, high fives, huge smiles and lots of gig gles.“One day during a fist bump, Aria actually said ‘hi’ to the player and he was so excited he had to let me know,” recalled Andrea, adding that speech is the one thing they really work hard on with Aria, so this was monumental for the player. Outside of the rink in the Gutmann’s home (like many of the gracious bil lets) is a place where play ers can just be themselves, a place where they can feel that sense of home that they miss from being away from their“Inown.the course of all this, I also took on the responsi bility of organizing the play ers into the schools,” said Andrea. “So they are always at our house. And it doesn’t matter who the players are, as soon as they are in our house, Aria will come over and scooch in beside them on the couch or hug them. And despite Andrea try ing to warm to the newer players, it comes so natural to Aria that it is happening before anyone can, or would for that matter, say other wise.Even with the new play er this year and the family being unsure about how he would react to Aria’s un filtered affection, Andrea said he took to her right away. “He didn’t really have a choice,” laughed Andrea. “Aria just latched onto him kind of like ‘you’re mine now’ and he just embraced it.” For the players, it is as though Aria were their own little sister, treating her with the same care, love and patience.“When I watch them, they authentically engage with her,” praised Andrea. “She won’t eat meat regular ly, but she will eat meat off the fork of one of the boys. It is so amazing to see them just innately start feeding her at the table. “We don’t get to spend a lot of time with the boys. But dinner time for us is that loud crazy time after the boys have chased the kids around playing with them, they just have that time. Then 7 p.m. rolls around, and everyone goes to bed.”Now that Aria is older, Andrea said she quali fies for Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD). “We are always try ing to find a way to improve her speech, a way to get her connected in the communi ty with talking. “We have a lady who does her respite care. She takes Aria a couple days a week. So we asked Boris (Rybalka, Kodiaks general manager) if he would mind if Aria and her respite care giver came to the rink and watch practices. He was im mediately on board.” Andrea said Aria helps with water bottles, if ap propriate, but always has her iPad there practicing speech. “If you want to bring the best out of children, you play to their strengths,” she smiled. “I will always check in to make sure it is okay to bring her However,out.”it never seems to be an issue. The play ers go above and beyond to make this sweet little girl feel like she is part of the team. “She was given a mini stick that they made out of a regular stick and taped all up so she could use it in sledge hockey. On pic ture day, Aria happened to be at the rink, so the team insisted she be in the team picture.” Beyond the tight-knit closeness the Gutmanns have with the Kodiaks or ganization, they have also developed a strong connec tion with others in the rink family.“During COVID, Aria started walking in her walker, so we would take her to the arena where she could do laps and people got to see her, and when COVID shut everything down the last time, people saw she was in a walker,” explained Andrea. “When families were first allowed back in the arena as COVID restric tions started to ease, only a handful of people saw her actually walking without the walker. When we came back this season, there were people who were shocked to see her Therunning.”Gutmanns have also been involved with Spe cial Olympics Camrose and Andrea commends the work they do to not only build community within the organization, but inclusivity in the larger commu nity as “Carolwell. Wide man’s son, Pres ton, would light up when he saw Aria at the hockey rink and come over and high five her. The rink is a hub con nection for inAriaCurrently,family.”isregisteredCamroseMinor Hockey U5, which she began on her sledge, then with in a month, was up on skates. they“Whenevercould,Ko diaks players would come out and work with the kids. Those boys do so much for this commu nity from serving breakfasts at the school, where they high five students, to other volun teer work throughout the community. When I have sent them to other schools for volunteering, I have re ceived nothing but positive feedback.”

However, when Aria was born and started expe riencing seizures, the family decided to forego billeting for that“Weseason.were still pretty new to the billeting about three years in. We were also new to the Camrose commu nity.” But it didn’t take long for the Gutmann family to realize the power of commu nity and the true meaning of family.“Even when Aria was in the hospital, the Kodiaks players would come out and shovel our driveway. It is such a Theyfamily.”started billeting again the next season, when Aria was just shy of a year old. “Our billet was Slater Strong, who was the biggest kid ever,” laughed Andrea. The bond between the players and Aria was instant every time. She beamed when she saw them and they didn’t shy away.

A little girl and her bears By Lori Larsen Aria Gutmann is a highspirited little six-year-old whose infectious smile has a way of lighting up a room, not to mention an arena. By all accounts, the first 27 days of Aria’s life seemed normal. Then, with the on set of her first seizure, Aria’s life, supported and accompa nied by her devoted family, mother Andrea, father Gar ratt, elder sister Alexis and eventually younger sister Addy, veered off on a chal lengingEventually,path. Aria was diagnosed with PACS1, caused by a mutation of one gene, a condition which causes intellectual disabil ity, speech and language dif ficulties, and distinct facial features.“For Aria, this included seizures as a baby, kidney issues, and a heart murmur which was repaired,” ex plained Andrea, adding that the disabilities can range from mild to moderate, and often producing speech is very difficult, “Although Aria’s understanding of lan guage is quite high.” Through a slew of visits to the Stollery Children’s Hospital, a battering of tests and stay-overs, Aria’s journey began–a journey filled with clinical interven tion and what is likely to be lifelong medical support, but also a journey that has proven once again that love has the potential to conquer all. “Early on, Aria had to have a lot of medications which had to be adminis tered orally, resulting in her having some sensory con cerns when it comes to cer tain triggers such as eating or even going into a parkade or tunnel, which she auto matically associates with going to the hospital. “If she sees blue gloves, she thinks nurse. But the one place where nothing is bad (in the sense of having tolerating clinical proce dures) is the hockey rink. “Every positive memo ry, social interaction, smiles have occurred at the rink,” smiled“WeAndrea.actually started billeting Kodiak’s players when our oldest daughter Alexis, who is now 12, was just over two years old, and Alexis had just started ini tiation hockey before Aria was born. So we spent a lot of time at the rink.”

Andrea says it is a re ciprocal relationship, giving of their time to volunteer with organizations such as Special Olympics Camrose and the Kodiaks, has come back tenfold to the family. “Knowing that the community is there,” she paused, “is so comforting. They showed up for us when we needed them. You get out of it what you put into it.” The Gutmanns cel ebrated another milestone for Aria on February 25, when she received a service dog from Dogs with Wings. “Those dogs are incred ible. It has quickly become her best friend.” This story of a little girl and her bears–a group of young men brought into a community to play hockey, but leaving behind them so much more, is a shining example of what a commu nity can do when it pulls together.

By Lori Larsen Cleaning the arena ice wasn’t always the job of the modern day ice clean ers. In fact, it was quite an arduous task that more often than not took a crew of three people or more to manually shovel for almost an hour.Those unsung heroes, however, have not gone for gotten. In fact, one particu lar Camrose group of “Rink Rats” is fondly remembered by Dennis Pellrene. “In the age before the Zamboni, in the mid 1950s, volunteer youths from the east end of Camrose scraped and cleaned the ice between periods of the Maroon games and were on call for any other events through the week,” recalled Dennis.“Of course, there were rats before us and after, but this was sort of our club.” A club that consisted of Walter Byers, John and Jim Kehoe, Kerry Gret tum, Dennis Pellrene, Don Syrnyk, Dale Sjervin, Dennis Mohler and Lyle Holmes. According to Pell rene, Dennis Mohler and Lyle Holmes have since passed away. “ The reward was that we could play hockey after the Maroon games while Prosper Atkinson and his helper Elmer would clean the seating area.”

The Camrose Ma roons were an intermedi ate hockey team playing in the 1940s and 1950s, including some seasons in the Central Alberta Hockey League. The Maroons won the Alberta intermediate A championship in 1948. “This building was the mecca of hockey, all other hockey was played on out door rinks,” said Pellrene. “It was fun and, of course, we could see all the Maroon games and on occa sion get a broken stick, take it home, glue it and clamp it. Now, I had another stick to use on the way to school practicing my stick han dlingSimpleskills.”rewards for sim pler times one might say, as Pellrene shared that an other advantage of the hard labour these “rink rats” put in was once the ice melted in the spring, they could play broom ball on the slip peryHopingsurface.to share some more memories and no doubt a few laughs, Pell rene is planning a reunion of the “Rink Rats” of the 1950s on September 6, at 9 a.m. at the Norsemen Inn and invites any of the group who are still around, or anyone else who would like to spend some time reminiscing of an era gone by, to come down and join him.

There are many studies that show taking zinc and/ or vitamin D makes a huge difference in fighting off virusIninfections.Canada, we can lack vitamin D because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. It’s a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and YourD-3. body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight. You can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood. Vitamin D has several important functions. Perhaps the most vital are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, as well as improved resistance against certain diseases.Ifyour body doesn’t get enough vitamin D, you’re at risk of developing bone abnormalities such as soft bones (osteomalacia) or fragile bones (osteoporosis). Here are more surprising benefits of vitamin D. In addition to its primary benefits, research suggests that vitamin D may also play a role in reducing your risk of multiple sclerosis, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association , decreasing your chance of developing heart disease, according to findings published in Circulation Trusted Source

It helps to reduce your likelihood of developing the flu, according to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition Trusted Source. Consider adding vitamin D supplements to your diet if you’re trying to lose weight or prevent heart disease.In one study, people taking a daily calcium and vitamin D supplement were able to lose more weight than subjects taking a placebo supplement. The scientists said the extra calcium and vitamin D had an overweighteffect.appetite-suppressingInanotherstudy,peoplewho took a daily vitamin D supplement improved their heart disease risk markers. Many factors can affect your ability to get sufficient amounts of vitamin D through the sun alone. These factors include being in an area with high pollution, using sunscreen, spending more time indoors, living in big cities where buildings block sunlight and having darker skin.These factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency in an increasing number of people. That’s why it’s important to get some of your vitamin D from sources besides sunlight. The symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency in adults include tiredness, aches and pains, and a general sense of not feeling well, severe bone or muscle pain, or weakness that may cause difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from the floor or a low chair, or cause you to walk with a waddlingDoctorsgait.can diagnose a vitamin D deficiency by performing a simple blood test. If you have a deficiency, your doctor may order X-rays to check the strength of your bones.

Whoever coined the phrase “Don’t cr y over spilled milk” clearly never had a kid spill a whole 4-litre jug all over the kitchen oor Contrary to popular belief, life is not a box of chocolates.

Remain healthy to fight off diseases

My favourite part of teenage driving lessons is almost dying and then being told to “chill”.

Several years ago, there was a little boy who lived in the countr y. They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer, cold in the winter and stank all the time. The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one day he would push that outhouse into the creek One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so the little boy decided today was the day to push the outhouse into the creek . So he got a large stick and star ted pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and oated away. That night , his dad told him they were going to the woodshed af ter supper. Knowing that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why. The dad replied, “Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn’t it , son?” The boy solemnly answered, “Yes.”
