Camrose police execute search warrant

“The police take the concerns of our citizens seriously,” said LaGrange. “Everyone deserves to live in a peaceful community in our City and, above all, feel safe from any unlawful activity that distracts from that.”The message was clear, if anyone engages in illegal activity, harming Camrose and/or the resi dents, it’s not a question of “if”, rather it is “when” they can expect a knock on their door by perspica cious members of our po lice service.

By Lori Larsen Camrose Police Ser vice members came out in force on Friday, August 19 to safely execute a search warrant on a property lo cated in the Sparling area of Camrose that has been on the police radar for sus pected drug trafficking and possession of stolen prop erty.“This particular prop erty has been the sub ject of police investiga tion for some time now,” explained CPS Chief Dean LaGrange. “We had enough reasonable grounds to move forward with a search warrant on August 19, with the arrest of two individuals in the home, resulting in charg es of trafficking metham phetamine and proceeds of crime over $5,000.”

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service blockade streets in the Sparling area of Camrose in order to safely execute a search warrant and affect arrests.

The property was also the subject of several com plaints expressed to City of Camrose council mem bers, from concerned area residents suspicious of the activity occurring at the residence, noting reg ular police presence up to the point of the execution of the search warrant on AugustAccording19. to La Grange, in just the first six months of this year, CPS had been called to this residence 24 times for various reasons.

Favourite things about summer–so far! Like every year in my mem ory, I don’t want it to be over. Summer, that is. That wistfulness happens every year in mid-August–but maybe even more intensely this year. What with all the rain in early July, our short sum mer season has seemed even shorter.Here are some of my favou rite summer things so far. As you read them, I hope they remind you of your favourite things about summer. Being outdoors Making a point of being outside every day. Early morning walks in the cool fresh air, catching the tail end of pink and gold sunrises. Being outside with trees and grass. Hearing and seeing birds. Being in nature. Puttering with the flowers on my balcony. Yes, that counts as “outdoors”.Anything near water–lake water, river water, ocean water. In a canoe or kayak on a peaceful lake–with other people paddling!Stretched out on a lounge chair on a dock under a canopy of trees, reading fiction and lapping up the sun. Biggest decision of the day: Sit in the sun or sit in the shade? Long lovely luxurious light well into the evenings. Beauty Canola fields in full bloom under a sapphire blue sky. Gorgeous flower beds with riotously coloured flowers. Subdued shade gardens with muted colours and interest ing shapes and textures. Feeling peaceful and calm the moment I walk through the gates of a Japanese garden; letting the serenity sink in. Long leisurely sunsets; exquisitely coloured skies. Seeing all the phases of the moon in clear night skies. Fresh food Saskatoons, picked wild and made into an incredible pie. The wild mint patch–which leads to wild mint juleps. Fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries made into jam that day. Next February, it will still taste like summer. Fresh garden vegetables, picked and eaten on the same day. I no longer have a vegetable garden, but I’m delighted to accept gifts of fresh produce from people who do have a garden. What a Patiotreat!breakfasts, patio lunches, patio dinners. Barbecues where all I do is eat fabulous food. Other people do the preparation and clean-up. Music, entertainment Outdoor music festivals–jazz, roots, blues, rock, reggae, country, folk, symphony. Fringe festivals, jamborees, rodeos, parades, regattas. Fairs in tiny communities and big cities. Family, friends Post-COVID restrictions (though not post-COVID)–being able to be live-and-in-person with people again–mask free if we choose!Visiting precious people who I don’t see very often. People I don’t see very often visiting me. An entire day without Zoom. Easy living No coats, no gloves, no scarves, no boots, no hassle. Sandals and shorts. Short sleeves or sleeveless. Whatever is coolest.Easy driving. No ice or snow or minimal visibility. Leaving the windows open all night. Our summers are short–especially this year–so it seems important to enjoy these precious last weeks. What are some of your favourite summer pleasures?*** 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.

By Murray Green August is Clear the Shelters month. That means finding new homes for animals. Veterinarians.org is a place that shares helpful information for those look ing to adopt a new dog. Consider the cost. The adoption fee, de-worming, flea treatment, annual or bi-annual wellness exams, emergency funding, micro chipping, spay or neuter ing, shelter, bedding and pet essentials are all impor tant expenses to remember. Determine which breed is right for you. The right dog breed suits your life style, activity levels, home and family situation. Make sure you are com patible with your new pet. What is your home life? Why do you want a dog? How playful should your dog be? What personal ity do you want in a dog? Should your dog be friendly with children and other pets? These are just a few questions to ask yourself. Visit your local animal shelter. Meet a few dogs and get an idea of the pets available. Some animal shelters will perform a home visit. This is to confirm that what you’ve put on your applica tion is true and that your pet will have the necessary space, housing and care to have a happy life. Prepare your home for a new dog. Lock up toxins, install or secure fencing, and have a dog food station. Also stick to basics like a good leash, dog brush, poop scoop, ID name tag and blankets. Schedule a vet appoint ment. You’ll want to sched ule a vet visit for your new dog as soon as possible. Even if the animal shelter has provided the initial vaccinations, you’ll want to confirm that your dog is in goodSethealth.upa routine, exer cise your pet, sign up for training and be patient.

Kodiaks host movie night

The Camrose Kodiaks junior hockey is hosting another movie night at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Sunday, September 18. “It should be fun again, after three years. Every thing is free: barbecued hot dogs, drinks and the movie,” said Kodiaks general man ager Boris Rybalka. “This is always a real highlight community event that we have not had since before the pandemic,” added Nick Beach, general manag er of the Lougheed Centre. The barbecue starts at 12:30 p.m. and the movie follows at 2 p.m. Tickets for the movie are available at either the Lougheed Cen tre box office during regular hours, or the Kodiaks’ office during office hours, Tues day, Wednesday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m. Don’t tell anybody, but the secret is out. The movie will be Spider-Man: No Way Home. It goes like this: Peter Parker has always lived a life of constant balance. Masking his identity as the true Spider-Man was never an easy feat for Peter, but was necessary to protect the ones he loves. However, his balancing act comes to a crashing end when he is publicly unmasked and identified as the true Spider-Man.Hispublic reveal leads to serious consequences for enemies and friends alike. The stakes have never been higher for Peter as he must decide how to go forward as Spider-Man. When he seeks assistance from the trusted Doctor Strange, Peter must make difficult decisions. “This is a joint event, the first time we have done this together since the pandemic. This is a great chance to bring our fan bas es together for a great com munity event. It also gives each of us a chance to share our seasons with everyone,” said Nick.

CHARITY ACT Murray Green, Camrose Booster Infinite Imagination actors Mike Hicks, left, and Trevor McTavish, right, welcome St. Mary’s Hospital nurse Tonya Ratushniak to the set of two plays in the Acts of Charity show on September 23 and 24. Proceeds from the shows will support mental health supplies at Unit 3.

By Murray Green Two very powerful plays will be presented in the Acts of Charity event at the Bailey Theatre on Sep tember 23 and 24 to assist two local organizations. Local theatre group In finite Imagination will be presenting proceeds from the shows toward Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose and Camrose and Area Men’s Shed. “This idea started when Trevor (McTavish) and I stumbled upon a couple of plays that really profoundly affected us. We performed them at a one act festival and found that the impor tant subject matter really hit us. We realized this was a great way to talk about mental health, which then led us to a charity event,” said Mike Hicks of Infinite Imagination. “We thought it was an ideal fit to work together with Tonya Ratushniak of the Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Cam rose Unit 3, mental health and addictions unit,” Mike added.“Everyone has had to deal with mental issues at one point, especially over the last three years. I start ed doing this play more than three years ago, before COVID-19 hit. I was going to do it at the festival, but it was cancelled. However, I wasn’t going to let it go. This play hit me at a time when it needed to hit me to help me with what I was going through at the time. Everyone is sad at one time or another. This play helped me realize that I’m having a bad day, but the sun will still come up tomorrow and you will feel better about still being here. The fact that I’m going to be here to morrow makes me feel bet ter about myself,” shared Trevor.The play Red was writ ten by John Logan and will be performed by Mike with his son Logan Hicks. “My play talks more about the path you take to get there. Both have an up ending–hope makes things endurable. This is challeng ing considering I’m doing it with my son,” revealed Mike.“COVID-19 actually helped me. I got laid off, but then I started doing things that I didn’t have time for such as learning to play guitar and cleaning the garage. It helped lower my anxiety,” added Mike. Another play, Every Brilliant Thing was writ ten by Duncan MacMillan and will be performed by Trevor.“This play is fun and is a lighter look, but still hits home. At the end, you feel relief. We were not brought up to talk about feelings, but it is important to talk about things,” added Trevor.“Ihave some audience participation because I’m the only one in the play. I will be having five people participating, but it won’t be difficult or scary,” said Trevor. “It lets people know that we are all in this to gether.”The event will also fea ture a silent auction and charcuterie (delicatessen snacks) on Friday, Sep tember 23 and Saturday, September 24 starting at 6:30 p.m. The Unit 3 staff of St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose are so grateful that the plays highlights the struggles and survivors of mental illness. “I am grateful. I’ve been involved in mental health for years and this is the first fundraiser espe cially for mental health at the hospital that I know of for our unit. Continued on page

Launch on Wednesday, August 24 between 5 and 7 p.m. Re freshments and bar service will be available. Drop in and hear what’s coming up at the Bailey Theatre. A full season of great shows has been planned.

“We will have some art (a theme of his play) on display as well as in the silent action,” said Mike.

Also, some people don’t realize that we have a 10-bed unit at the hospital. We have both outpatients and inpatients. This event brings awareness that we have been helping with psychiatric and mental health services for years,” said Tonya. “I think a lot of businesses are thankful too because many family members and employees have been helped by mental health services. It helps start those conversations as well,” said Tonya, also the president of College of Regis tered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta.

During the August 2 City of Camrose Commit tee of Whole meeting, coun cil was asked to provide direction to administration on the next steps regard ing cat control within the City of Camrose, following a presentation made by the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter on June 6. “There have been changes to how the City’s animal control has been managed over the years,” explained City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd. “We have gone from inhouse at Public Works to being contracted through a veterinary service, to in-house at Credco, to con tracted through a private kennel.”Boyd further explained that the City is not comply ing with the current Ani mal Control Bylaw. “The current bylaw includes cat control and that is a service the City is not providing through the Administrationkennel.”provid ed three options to council regarding cats within the City that included: 1. Status quo–leave the Animal and Pest Con trol services at its current level, and bylaw amend ments would be required to remove the section on cat control.2.Increase service level to provide for the option of cat trap rentals, cat im pound service, trap and re lease, along with a change to the Bylaw for the volun tary licensing of cats, but no enforcement for cats at large.3. Increase service level to provide for cat licensing/ control and enforcement.

Lana Bro ker clarified that currently when a person phones in to bylaw about a cat issue, that person is told by bylaw there is nothing they can do, that the person should phone the MurphyShelter.added that Camrose and Area Animal Shelter has indicated on so cial media they don’t have room for more cats. Mayor Stasko replied that to his knowledge the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter is at capacity. City of Camrose finance general manager Travis Bouck said that around budget deliberations, or ganizations such as the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter, request funding as part of a recurring grant. “In September, council meets to try to determine who should get a recurring grant.”Broker suggested, as opposed to a large grant for the Animal Shelter, the City could offer space at the Credco building (one bay available) and help them in that aspect, which may save the City some money. Boyd said that would be shown on City finances as an ‘in and out’. “So it is transparent in terms of the cost,” he explained, adding that the City charges a cer tain amount per square foot for City-owned property, then council could provide a grant for that expense to the organization.Boydaddedthat there would also be some capital expense for the City to con vert that space. “But it is certainly an option.”

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Some residents voice concerns over the cats at large in the City.

Boyd added that the direc tion from previous council was for the City to not be involved in that part of business.

City council discusses feasibility of cat bylaw

Doug said that every year, the couple wastes be tween $8 (hundred) and a thousand dollars. “We can’t quit because it is who we are and what we do. Why should we waste $1,000 when you made me pay $20 to $30 a year to license my dog, and if he gets caught, he goes to the pound and I have to pay many dollars to get him back?” He said that he trapped one of the cats and tried taking it to the pound, but was told they were not ac cepting any more cats. “I phoned them and they said put the cat back where you got it. I told them I got it in a cat trap in my front yard. I was then told I would have to take it to Edmon ton. Now I have to drive to Edmonton, if they take it, spend three hours, $30 to $40 for gas, and three to four hours of my time, when all you have to do, like Cal gary, Edmonton, St. Albert, Bonneville, Cold Lake, is to have people license their cats.“I have been here 23 years, and for 22 years, I have been bugging the City to get a cat bylaw that in cludes cat licensing. Every year, I get the same story ‘it is complicated.’ It wasn’t complicated to get a bylaw for dogs. They (cats) are causing grief all over the City. I’m fed up.”

Council inquiries Councillor Joy-Anne Murphy inquired as to what is involved in a volun taryBoydlicense.said that essen tially the difference be tween mandatory licensing and voluntary is that vol untary would not be en forced.Murphy commented, “It is a struggle for me be cause I think personally that we should probably try to control the cat popula tion a little bit, but it is in teresting to hear that there is very little current public expectation for us to do so.” Mayor PJ Stasko said that it is something that other municipalities have dealt with in some manner. Murphy said, “It seems like we are looking at a cat portion of the Animal Con trol Bylaw. But we are also looking at requests from these two organizations (Camrose and Area Ani mal Shelter and Camrose Animal Alliance Rescue Society) to support them in managing the cat popula tion as well. Are they sepa rate things or are they in tertwined?”Boydreplied that one of the major issues with cat control is that currently the City has no place to im poundCouncillorcats.

Bouck spoke about a concern brought forward by past council about the City competing with tax-paying property owners in the business of renting.

Doug added, “We are tired of cats. We work hard and spend hundreds of dol lars every year in this City to buy plants from busi nesses in this City so we can provide a beautiful yard for people to drive by and see how pretty it is.”

In clarifying direction of council to administra tion on the issue of cat con trol, Boyd said, “What I am hearing is, don’t remove the cat control from the exist ing bylaw, and come back to council with a request of what it would take to pro vide that Councilservice.”directed Ad ministration to determine what resources would be re quired to maintain and pro vide the cat control services that are currently within the Animal Control Bylaw. Public concern During the City of Camrose Regular Council meeting held on August 15, several members of the community expressed concern over the issue of cats at large in the City, requesting council consider creating a City Cat Bylaw to assist in controlling the situation.Speaker Michele Tudor began by informing council that after a recent absence from her residence, she came home to find piles of cat feces on her property. Tudor noted that she has to put her dog out on a leash in their fenced area because the dog suf fers from an autoimmune disease, and if the dog gets into the cat feces, it can cause health concerns for the dog. “We are getting a little bit tired of having to spend money on things to get rid of these cats to stop them from coming over. We have had to put up chicken wire, I don’t get to put a flower bed in my front yard because you open up the window and all you smell is cat poop and cat pee. They destroy walls and outside siding because they spray. It is just ridiculous. There should be a bylaw.” She added that other municipalities in which she has lived have all had bylaws to control cats. “We keep our dogs on a leash. Cats should be tattooed and they should also be on leashes if they are going to be outside.”Speaker Betty Dumont indicated that she has the same issues with the cats at large.Speaker Shaylene Liv ingston, new to the City, said she also has issues with the cats at large. “It is a beautiful city, but we (her and her husband) have no ticed cat issues throughout the city. We see it more pre dominantly in our area. We have about five or six cats just in our neighbourhood alone that are frequenting our “Iyards.used to work at a vet clinic. I do understand the whole issue of city bylaws, licensing your animals, be ing responsible pet owners. It should not be any differ ent between a cat and a dog. We are expected to clean up after our dogs, walk our dogs on leash–they are ex pected to be on leash–and keep control of our dogs at all times. Why is it any dif ferent for a cat owner?” Shaylene said that it shouldn’t matter if it takes the City a little bit of extra money to create a bylaw. “These animals are pets. They should be treated the same as other four-legged little critters. I don’t like picking up other people’s pet feces in my yard. I don’t want to step in it if I don’t see it. The responsibility lies at the heart of the City.” Speakers Darlene and Doug Essard also expressed concerns over the cats at large in the City. Darlene said she too is sick and tired of the cats and ended up throwing out some rhubarb she had planted because it was full of cat feces. “Every year is the same. We pay a lot of money for flowers and cats use it for litter box. We have a dog. We licensed it and it doesn’t run around the neighbourhood. But the cats are everywhere. I would like something done with those cats.”

Section 9.28–Detached Secondary Suites, as pre sented in the August 15 up date, was directed by coun cil to remain in the LUB. Section 17.4–Airport District Uses, as presented in the August 15 update, was directed by council to be removed from the LUB.

subsections in Section 15–Commercial/In dustrial Districts, with mi nor changes, as presented in the August 15 update, was directed by council to remain in the LUB.

• At the Arts & Culture Community Conversa tion held in April, one of the key takeaways was that the community would really like a collab orative space.

• People are loving the idea of a Makerspace in Camrose–a shared space to foster community collaboration; to bring knowledge, skills, and equipment together; sup port entrepreneurship; and promote innovation.

Augustana inMakerspaceproposesCamrose

“We see this as being a hub in downtown Camrose that brings people and or ganizations together, pro vides the space for new ideas and partnerships, support for entrepreneurs and, ultimately, raises the profile of Camrose and the University.”McConnell said the Col laboration & Innovations Centre could include: a Makerspace which would also serve as a revenue source through member ships, training, workshops and events and program ming; offices and hot desks for short-term lease or ad hoc bookings; a stepping stone for business devel opment and growth; fully equipped meeting rooms; collaborations with the li brary, school divisions and arts groups; potential new library space (satellite space). “And while we are dreaming big, let’s throw in a roof-top patio to host net workingMcConnellevents.”said this would be sustained through partnerships, office/space rentals, memberships and fee-for-service program ming.She presented the initia tive to council to explain not only the potential for industry and community partnerships, but the op portunity for Augustana to work with the City to con tinue to enhance their rela tionship.“This project also has some nice synergy with some of the priorities high lighted in the City’s re cent strategic plan, and we wanted to put the idea on your radar as you consider future planning.”

In referring to the example of the Salmon Arm Makerspace (www. innovatesa.ca/), McConnell explained that it is used it to attract high tech companies to the city. In terms of the next steps and timelines, McConnell said that she would like to work with Augustana CSL students in September of this year and then, in the summer of 2023, to look at feasible partnerships. In the fall and winter of 2023, a business model could be created, as well as gover nance and determining a mission, vision and goals; identifying space needs and potential locations; and de velop a business and fund raisingMovingplan.forward to 2024, the plan would be to confirm a location and any building plans, fundraise and then hold an open house.

By Lori Larsen University of Alberta Augustana Campus Spe cial Initiatives coordinator Kate McConnell presented a new community initia tive referred to as the “Col laboration & Innovation Centre” to City of Camrose Council during the August 15 Committee of the Whole meeting.McConnell said the idea of a collaborative learning space, Makerspace, began in 2019 (pre-COVID) with a small group of Augustana faculty and staff. She described a Maker space to be a collaborative learning space where peo ple with shared interests can gather to work on proj ects while sharing ideas, knowledge and equipment that people may not nor mally have access to, such as 3D printers, laser cut ters, sewing machines and a sound“Makerspacesstudio. are used by students, hobbyists of all levels and even business startups and those wanted to explore prototype devel opment,” explained McCo nnell. “Makerspaces have been popping up in univer sities and cities across the globe.”McConnell said that the group has now been given the green light by the University to continue to explore this Makerspace idea.She went on to say that in looking to build a collab orative community space, consideration has to be given to what other collab orative community space needs exist in the City as well as possible partnering opportunities.“Thisiswhat we have learned so far.”

ter, these figures are arti ficially inflated by income supports. Canadians have had a false sense of secu rity, and a wave of insolven cies could come later this year.“For those without a debt management plan, now is the time to put one in place,” said Keith Emery, co-CEO of Credit Canada. “When government sup ports and payment defer rals come to a complete halt, the financial counselling network will reach beyond its critical mass if everyone waits until the last minute to get help.”

A new national survey by Credit Canada reveals that the COVID-19 pan demic has left many Cana dians without a plan when it comes to their future financial prospects, espe cially when government support and payment defer rals fully come to an end. The Canadian COVID Wake-up Call, an Angus Reid study of 1,500 Cana dians, sponsored by the nonprofit credit counsel ling agency Credit Canada, found that of those Cana dians receiving assistance, two in five (39 per cent) have no idea what they’ll do when the support runs out. This number expands to 49 per cent in the Atlantic, and drops to 36 per cent in Quebec. Additionally, this uncertainty is most preva lent among those aged 35 to 54 (44 per cent) and levels out to 36 per cent with both the 18 to 34 and the 55-plus age Overall,cohorts. one in four Canadians (24 per cent) have used income supports (government assistance or CERB and EI), and one in 10 (nine per cent) have used payment deferrals (car, mortgage, rent, lines of credit and credit cards) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When asked how they plan to address their per sonal finances once income supports and payment deferrals have ended, one in 10 will turn to traditional borrowing such as family loans, bank loans and credit cards. On the positive side of the ledger, only two per cent will resort to payday loans or short-term lenders, which generally charge the highest interest rates and excessive fees. Also encouraging is that half (49 per cent) of those receiving income supports or using payment defer rals are confident they’ll no longer need financial assis tance at all once these sup ports have Strikingly,ended.only two per cent of those receiv ing financial supports will seek professional help (bankruptcy/insolvency and credit counselling) once the relief packages have ended. Although consumer insolvencies have seen a downward trend in recent months and the household debt-to-income ratio plum meted in the second quar run

Kodiaks back on ice

I am pleased to report that the federal government recently signaled that it is backing away from its plan to mandate that Canadian agribusinesses reduce their use of nitrogen fertilizer, after getting an earful from farmers and provincial governments like ours. We know we can’t let up, however. We will keep the pressure on the Justin Trudeau Liberals to ensure that this short-sighted plan is fully dead and gone. Agriculture is Alberta’s second largest industry, and with so many exciting things happening in our boom ing economy, it’s important we take time to recognize the role agriculture plays and will continue to play in our economy.Unlike the NDP, who attacked our family farms and ranches, our United Conservative government will al ways support Alberta’s world-class farmers and the critical work they do feed the world. If you have any questions or concerns, contact my office. We are always here for you! You can contact Jackie Lovely, Camrose MLA, at Constituency Office, 104, 4870-51 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1S1.

By Jackie Lovely, MLA After facing severe drought in 2021, Alberta farmers are very hopeful for the harvest ahead in 2022. Right now, canola fields are doing particularly well, with Ian Chitwood of the Alberta Canola Produc ers Commission recently saying, “Everything is com ing up really, really well right now. We’re getting some good moisture for the first time in a couple of years. Pric es look good. The fall looks good. Everything is lining up. As long as we can avoid the hail, we’ll be okay.” Alberta producers planted 6.5 million acres of canola this year, as the global need for cooking oil reached its highest point ever due to a variety of factors, including the war in Ukraine. Our world-class farmers will be critical in meeting that demand now and for years to come. As the 2022 crops continue to come in, we wish all our farmers nothing but the best. To help raise awareness about the amazing work our farmers do, this week our government recently cele brated Local Food Week–a celebration of Alberta-grown food. Local Food Week kicked off with the Open Farm Days, a time when local farms open their doors, so Al bertans can see exactly what they do and how they do it. During Open Farm Days, we encouraged all Alber tans to visit a participating farm, meet a farmer, and learn more about our agriculture industry. Also during Open Farm Days, some of Alberta’s most talented chefs cooked farm-to-table dinners in ru ral communities across Alberta. We encouraged all Al bertans to find an opportunity to have an Alberta-grown meal, whether it was at a participating event or just at home.You may remember that our government launched a special “Made in Alberta by Albertans” label to make it easier to identify Alberta-grown foods at local mar kets and grocery stores. Whether you’re having steak, chicken, pork, potatoes, peas, or carrots–we challenge you to make an all-Alberta meal to celebrate our amaz ing farmers.Despite all this good news, Alberta farmers remain anxious about Ottawa’s continuous attacks on their live lihoods. I want to be clear that our United Conservative government opposes any effort by Ottawa to force our farmers to reduce their fertilizer use.

Jeff Bateman of Cam rose owns a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS. “I’ve had the car for about 12 years (2021). I bought it out of the United States. The car has a 350 engine and a four-speed transmission. I have always wanted a car like this and it is the same age as me, so that means something spe cial as well,” shared Jeff.

A 230 cubic inch Chev rolet straight-6 was stan dard, with several Chevy V8s available as options. “It is pretty well the way I want it. I have a few things left, but it is what it is. Right now, my son and I have started another proj ect–a truck,” he added. “That is taking more time, so I’m just doing little things to the Camaro. In the winter, I did the sus pension and a new muffler system in it. I haven’t had the car since day one, but I’ve made a few memories with it.”

FUN FACTS

SUPER SPORT Murray Green, Camrose Booster The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Super Sport is a sought after car for collectors. It has speed, styling and performance that drivers enjoy, both now and back when it was made. Jeff Bateman likes to hit the road in fine style. The first-generation Camaro was built through the 1969 model year. “When I got the car, it needed a motor, transmission and power train, so I fixed those things in the vehicle. The Old Ride? If you have a vintage ride (rebuilt or original) or even if you’re in the midst of a build: street, rat or restoration, we’d lik e to proﬁle your projec t.

The 1969 Camaro carried over the previous year’s drive train and major mechanical components, but all-new sheet metal, except the hood and trunk lid, gave the car a substantially sportier look. The grille was redesigned with a heavy “V” cant and deeply inset headlights. New door skins, rear quarter panels, and rear va lance panel also gave the car a much lower, wider, more aggressive look. This styling would serve for the 1969 model year only. The Rally Sport (RS) option includes a special black-painted grille with concealed headlights and headlight washers, fender striping (except when sport striping or Z28 Special Performance Package is specified), simulated rear fender louvers, front and rear wheel opening moldings, black body sill, RS emblems on grille, steering wheel and rear panel, Rally Sport front fender nameplates, bright accented taillights, and backup lights below the rear bumper. It also includes bright roof drip moldings on the Sport Coupe. This option could be added to any other option (i.e. SS or Z/28), making the model an RS/SS or an RS/Z28.

The SS performance package consisted of 350 cubic inch (5.7 L) or 396 (6.5 L) V8s and chassis upgrades for better handling and to deal with the additional power. The SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping and SS badging.

The car has good lines and paint, and the price was right, so I had to have the Camaro,” said Jeff. “It is worth it when I get the thumbs up and smiles as I go down the street. I’ve gone to BC a couple of times, Saskatchewan a couple of times. I have a trailer for it, so sometimes I drive it and other times I trailer the car,” explained Jeff. “I would rather drive it to where it needs to go, but sometimes it depends on the weather. It is nice to have somewhere to put it when a storm rolls in,” said Jeff. The F-body was shared with the Pontiac Firebird for allThegenerations.RSwasan appear ance package that included hidden headlights, revised taillights with back-up lights under the rear bum per, RS badging, and ex terior bright trim. It was available on any model.

The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American muscle car in troduced by Chevrolet in the fall of 1966 for the 1967 model year.

“I started looking for one of these about 13 years ago and I came across this one online in the States. I went down to have a look at it. I made the guy an of fer and he took it. I really like the thumbs up and the smiles I get when I drive this car,” said Jeff. It rode on a brand-new rear wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a two-door, hardtop and convertible.“Itissuch a fun car to drive on the weekends. My wife and I go for cruises all of the time. We go to the odd car show now and then,” continued Jeff. “I re-did the power train, suspension and the brakes.

Vegreville Blue Jays dethrone Royals

By Murray Green Vegreville Blue Jays were declared the Pow erline Baseball League champions after knock ing off last year’s top team, Armena Royals, in two straight games. The Blue Jays beat the Royals 7-1 in the first game and then edged Ar mena 10-9 in the second game of the best of three championship.Itwasrevenge for the Blue Jays as Armena beat them in the 2021 fi nal Armenaseries. needed a third game to dispose of the Battle River Rivals on August 2. Battle Riv er won 9-2 in the opener and then Armena won the second match 6-4. The deciding game was 7-1 in favour of the Roy als. Vegreville won the other semifinal series in two straight games, 12-0 and 9-5, to advance to the league finals.

E-Bike: A helmet is required for all ages. An operator licence and insurance is not required, however, the minimum age must be 12 years or older. Have a question for the Chief? Email them to The Camrose Booster at news@camrosebooster.com

Bicycle: A helmet is required for anyone under the age of 18, but is not required for anyone over the age of 18. An operator license and insurance is not required. There is no minimum age to operate a bicycle.

Answer: Other cities in Alberta, such as Edmonton and Cal gary, have bylaws for paved walking/bike trails (i.e. 20 km/h limit). Camrose does not currently have a bylaw that addresses speed on paved trails. The federal government first addressed e-bike restrictions back in 2001 and limited the electric motor to 500 watts. In 2021, the federal govern ment repealed it’s definition of e-bikes and left it up to each Province and Territory, where since then, there has been some confusion as to what is allowed. Some e-bikes have (two) 500-watt motors for a total of 1,000 watts, but still appear to adhere to the maximum 500-watt motor limit. There are equipment requirements for bicycles/e-bikes, such as having a horn/bell to warn people as you approach, headlights/tail lights/reflectors and registration of your bicycle as well. See below for other applicable laws.

END OF AN ERA

Harold Frederick Hauser

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, August 23, 2022 – Page 24

Harold Frederick Hauser was born on January 10, 1931 to Anthony and Elizabeth Hauser. He was the youngest of five children. Harold was born at the neighbour’s house, where the wife assisted with local births. He grew up on the family farm located south of Strome and north of Forestburg, working hard. Dad and his siblings attended the Hauser School located within walking distance. Dances, parties and ice cream making. Harold stayed on the farm and took over after his father’s death in 1960. One weekend, there was a wedding in Heisler and Harold drove over for the dance. There, he met a beautiful bridesmaid, Lena Herle. The Herle’s farmed east of Heisler and had 11 children. Harold and Lena married in June 1956. To this union, five children were born, three boys and two girls. Milking cows, the excitement with the purchase of two milking machines. Hundreds of chickens with eggs shipped to Edmonton. The excitement of the electric egg washer. They had pigs for a few years, dogs and cats, and a huge garden with lots of raspberries. A time to remember was when Dave and Sandy burned down the patch because “we didn’t want to pick anymore raspberries”. Saskatoons, chokecherries and crab apples picking, cleaning and canning. Lots of rock picking and manure hauling, bales and harvesting. Mom and Dad always made sure we had lake trips and went to Big Knife Park for picnics. Those were busy years! Mom returned to work as a nurse at the Killam Hospital when all the children were in school. A sense of kindness, honesty and commitment were instilled in our lives growing up. The importance of education, learning and religious values were stressed in our lives. I remember well when Dad and Mom drove to the school to have a discussion with the teacher regarding Sandy’s punishment for being left handed. Lots of memories. Dave’s eye surgery in his toddler years in Edmonton, Laurel being accidently locked outside in a thunderstorm – the trauma! Dad’s great love of food, especially sweets and fish. Busy productive years. Then came the graduations, weddings and a bonus of five grandsons whom Dad and Mom loved so very much. Music was so very important, violin on special occasions and most evenings.Tragedy struck the family when Mark passed away in 1993. It was a tough time. Mom and Dad moved to Camrose in 1995 and rented out the land. Lena passed away in 1997. It was a difficult time to understand and comprehend. It was always said that “happier times are ahead” and “behind every cloud is the sun shining”. How very true. Dad married Henriette 23 years ago and Henriette brought happiness, order and love to Dad’s life. They were a great couple with their blended families.Harold passed away at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose on the afternoon of Saturday, August 13, 2022. He is survived by his wife Henriette and her four children; and his children Sandy (Will), son Steven (Callie), son Evan (Marissa), Chase, Taegan, Chanelle, Dave (Suzanne), Laurel (Garry), son Shaun (Josie), Jaxson, Cohen, Emerson, son Kent and son Scott. He was predeceased by his first wife Lena; and sons Mark and Joseph (1962).

Rest in peace. You taught us so very much, Dad! A private family service will take place. Memorial donations may be made to the St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation. good

He passed away on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose. We had been looking forward to celebrating his 90th birthday on August 24, 2022. He is survived by daughter Leigh Anne; son-in-law Mohamad Alnajjar; and granddaughter Alia; his sister June Saunders and family; in-laws Robert Wiklun and his children Wesley Wiklun, and Brenda Bjorkman and family, and Mavis Wiklun, Betty and Lary Benson, and their daughter Rebecca Benson and family; as well as many nieces and nephews in the Schalin and Williams families. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Evelyn in 2013; his parents Richard and Winnifred Williams; brothers George Williams and Reg Williams; and sister Dorothy Schalin. Bernard was born in 1932 at Viking, Alberta, spent his first 10 years on the family farm, and attended a one-room school. At that point, the family moved into the town of Viking, where Bernard began to play hockey and other sports. After losing his mother, Winnifred, to cancer when he was 14, he moved with his dad and June to the town of Ryley. June, who was just 10, went to live with Dorothy and her husband Milton at Pine Lake. In high school, Bernard was captain of the hockey team, but baseball was his passion, and he attended Pittsburgh-Cincinnati sponsored baseball schools in Edmonton. He later coached little league. He also began curling in high school, a sport at which he excelled and continued to play every year for 71 years. His father Richard Williams died when Bernard was 21. By that time, Bernard had begun his career, as manager with Imperial Lumber, starting out in Chauvin. In 1960, he married the love of his life, Evelyn Wiklun. They lived in Hinton for seven years until they moved to Red Deer, where their only daughter Leigh Anne was born in 1968. In 1972, the family moved to Camrose, where Bernard built a broad network of friends and colleagues, always working hard with integrity and kindness. After 24 years with Imperial Lumber, he accepted an offer to be the manager of the Camrose location of Revelstoke Building Supplies. In his later career, he also worked with Builders’ Supplies and Beaver Lumber. Bernard and Evelyn were members of the Messiah Lutheran congregation throughout their time in Camrose. In 2009, Leigh Anne married Mohamad, and it was Bernard and Evelyn’s great joy to welcome their only granddaughter Alia to the family in Bernard2010.was heartbroken to lose Evelyn to cancer in 2013. He found solace in helping others, volunteering to help friends, family and neighbours, and working with the Bethany Board, Messiah Lutheran’s Wednesday Workers, Meals on Wheels, and the Camrose Police Association’s Wise Owl program. He will be deeply missed. May he rest in peace and joy with God. A funeral service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at Messiah Lutheran Church.

Elsie Mary Swaré

Elsie is survived by her children Wade (Linda), Darrell (Mary), Robert (Karen), Heather (Reed), Deb (Victor), Don (Syd), Dale (Waverly), and Karen (Tim); her grandchildren Leann (Nathan), Josh (Ericka), Jess, Ben (Hilary), Jordyn, Sarah (Matt), Kevin (Jackie), Laura, Stephanie (Justin), Shauna (Craig), Bryn (Abby), Morgan (Autumn), Gavin, and Greyson; her great-grandchildren Kayden, Erin, Nolan, Aurora, Freya, Ryder, Jackson, Adam, Clark, Jonah, Whitney, Sophie, Addison, Griffin, Luna, Joah, Lincoln, Evangeline and Saige. She is also survived by many special nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Elsie left a legacy of love. She will be remembered for her smile, her ability to take on a challenge, and her kindness. Her many quilts will keep us wrapped in her love for years to come.

A memorial service for Elsie will be held at Bardo Lutheran Church, Tofield (5609-48 Street) on Tuesday, August 30 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Peter Beckman officiating. Memorial donations may be made to Bardo Lutheran Church.

Elsie Mary Tomkin was born on January 14, 1931 in Edmonton, Alberta. She was the only child of Alice and George Tomkin – both of her parents were born in England. Elsie received her education at King Edward and Scona Schools. Following her graduation, she entered the RN program at the Misericordia Hospital, graduating with the “Class of 53B”. After a stint working in the OR and a trip to England in 1954, she married Keith Appleby and moved to Tofield in April 1955. As a city girl, she had to adapt to much and learn about farm life – just one of the many challenges she tackled head-on during her life. Elsie and Keith had four children Robert, Heather, Donald and Dale. After Keith’s sudden passing in January 1968, Elsie stayed on the farm and began working at Freebury Clinic. After some careful match-making by friends during the selection of teams in the Tofield Curling Club’s Friendship Bonspiel, Elsie just happened to find herself on a team with Herbert Swaré. Elsie and Herb were married in June 1970, and she became mother to his three children Wade, Darrell and Debora. Together, they had one daughter, Karen, born in 1971. Elsie and Herb farmed near Spilstead and Tofield. After Herb retired from farming in 1998, they stayed on the farm near Tofield and Elsie kept busy with her artwork, baking, crafting, quilting and nurturing her beautiful yard – which included her own little orchard. Elsie was very active in her church and community. Somehow, she convinced Herb into taking several trips – they ventured across Canada and the US with friends and on their own. Family and friendships were of utmost importance to Elsie. Even at the age of 89, she decided that every great-grandchild needed a quilt – and 18 quilts were distributed last fall. In January 2013, Elsie and Herb made the move to an apartment in Tofield. Herb passed away in November 2013, and Elsie moved across town to live at Sunshine Villa in 2016. While living at the Villa, Elsie was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and she relied on her inner strength to keep as active as possible from that point on. In 2020, Elsie moved to Stettler and eventually made her last move to Points West Living in November of that year. Her tenacity, inner strength and profound faith helped her through many struggles over the last two years. Elsie passed away peacefully on August 17, 2022.

Connie Lynn Kvale of Bawlf passed away peacefully at the Cross Cancer Institute on Thursday, August 18, 2022, at the age of 64 years young, with the Kvale 5 together by her side.

Connie Lynn Kvale

Connie was the heart of every place she worked or volunteered. She gave all of herself in countless ways for Art, her children and grandchildren, family, church community, coworkers and all of their families. She began teaching Sunday School as a teenager and never stopped. She grew in her love of sewing after making clothes for her daughters and their dolls, and the love spread to countless gifts of quilts, dresses, and one-of-a-kind alterations for which she became known throughout the community. She was a bright light and her memory lives on through every stitch and every person whom her life touched. She used every gift the Lord gave her to bless everyone sheLeftcould.to cherish her memory are her loving husband Arthur Kvale; mother Marie Throndson; daughters Bharbra (Brian) Tomaszewski of Round Hill, Jaclyn (Blain) Schacher of Bawlf, and Halyne (Andrew) Hubbard of Toronto; grandchildren Owen and Ian Tomaszewski, Isabella, Brook and Blain Schacher, and Jason Hubbard; their fur babies Chewy, Angel and Bowser; siblings Gary, Donna and Barry; as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Connie was predeceased by her father Morris Throndson; and her first (four-legged) grandchild Buba. A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 24, 2022 at Messiah Lutheran Church (4810-50 Street, Camrose), officiated by Rev. Kevin Nelson and Rev. Bev Swanson.

Reflect instead on memories Of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way he spoke, and all the things he said, His strength, his stance, the way he walked, Remember these instead. The good advice he’d give us, his eyes that shone with laughter, So much of him will never die, but live on ever after. As we loved you, so we miss you, in our memory, you are near. Loved, remembered, longed for always, bringing many a silent tear. Always remembered by loving wife Joyce; Karen (Bob) Davis and family; Paul (Bev) McNutt and family

Connie was born in Camrose to Morris and Marie Throndson. The family lived in Edberg for a few years before moving to the farm northeast of Camrose where she grew up. She attended Sifton School and then Camrose Comp until she met Art, who said when he saw her, he couldn’t see anyone else. They were married in 1976 and moved to the Kvale family farm, and soon after came Bharbra, Jaclyn and Halyne.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Shetland sheepdog Jaxon stays cool tucked in under a desk in an air conditioned office.

The heat is on, keep your pets cool By Lori Larsen If it is too hot for hu mans, it is too hot for our four-legged friends, so it is vital that extreme care is taken to ensure our pets are kept comfortable dur ing hot weather conditions. When temperatures start to soar to the 30s, it is considered very danger ous for animals, and where possible, pets should be kept indoors and always have access to clean water. If your pet is outdoors, then ensure they have plenty of shade during all times of the day and plenty of water, also kept in the shade. When the outside tem perature rises to 30°C, pave ment can become as hot as 57°C when in direct sunlight. This is definitely hot enough to burn a dog’s paws and cause damage to their pads. Test the pave ment by placing your hand or bare foot on it for five sec onds. If you cannot take the heat, neither can your pet. Avoid walking your dog between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is the hottest. Keep walks to a minimum so your pet does not suffer from heat exhaustion. It goes without saying that you should never leave your pet in a vehicle dur ing extreme temperatures.

January 21, 1958 ~ August 18, 2022

Cracking a window does very little to decrease the inside temperatures of the vehicle, and leaving the ve hicle running with the air conditioning on may run the risk of the vehicle stopping and the animal suffering. Generally, the inside temperature of a vehicle is 30° higher than the out side temperatures, which equates to 60°C-plus inside a vehicle if it is 30°C out side. Those temperatures are not only dangerous, they are deadly If you are traveling with your pet, always take water with you, take fre quent breaks, and encour age them to drink. Learn to recognize the signs of heatstroke in your pet. Excessive panting, con stant drooling, lethargic behaviour and vomiting could mean your pet is in distress. If you notice your pet is suffering, slowly low er their body temperature by providing cool water and gently cooling them down with a damp towel. Do not put them in cold baths or ice water, this could cause shock.If the animal does not seem to be showing signs of recovery or you are con cerned, call your local vet erinarian. Even if your pet does begin to recover, but you suspect they may have suffered from heatstroke, take them to the vet to have them checked and treated. Our pets show us uncon ditional love, so we owe it to them to return the favour.

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.

Husband: “Why not just throw it in the trash? That’s much easier.” Wife: “But there are poor star ving people who can really use all these clothes.” Husband: “Honey, anyone who ts into your clothing is not star ving.” Most people could care less that people say irregardless. This misuse should have been nipped in the butt long ago. Maybe they are just escape goats for the broader problems of the decline of education, but even though I have been biting my time here, cringing at the nex t foe par while they get o scotch free, it’s truly a mute point these days. Face it, it’s a doggie dog world. I think I’ll just go curl up in the feeble position. Ex cetera, ex cetera, ex cetera … Me: “Well, I gotta get going.”

All I know is the older I get , the more 9 p.m. is the new midnight I’m adopting a healthier lifest yle, so I parked and walked inside to buy doughnuts instead of using the drivethrough. I hate it when I am nally caught up on the laundr y and then I see my family walking around in clothes.

Someone Else: “Why, do you have plans?” Me: “No, I’d just rather be at home.” In the 70s, I was riding my bike and fell o and hur t my knee. I’m telling you this now because we didn’t have social media then.

I bought myself some satin pajamas and satin sheets. Just went to jump into bed and I ended up in the neighbour’s ower garden! I taught my kids about democracy tonight by having them vote on which movie to watch and what kind of piz za to order. Then I picked the movie and piz za out myself because I’m the one with the money.

I hate it when people tr y to act all intelligent and cultured and talk about Mozar t when they have never even seen one of his paintings.
