Medical officer
By Murray Green
According to Google, the average Canadian full-time salary in fiscal year 2021-22 was $54,630–or about nine per cent of Dr. Hinshaw’s $591,000. That means Dr. Hinshaw’s annual salary was more than ten times the average salary of a Canadian working full time. Is that outrageous? My mind flipped, not only to average Ca nadian workers but to professional hockey players. Here’s the comparison.
Average worker Responsibility: depends on requirements of employer. Who you need to influence: employer plus co-workers and customers or clients. Impact if you get it right: happy em ployers, co-workers, clients; possible raise in pay. Impact if you get it wrong: unhappy employers, co-workers, clients, etc.; possible loss of job. Average annual salary 2021-22: $54,630. Lowest paid Responsibility: With fellow team members, be good at helping to get a chunk of black rubber into a net. Who you need to influence: Fellow team members. Impact if you get it right: Your team could win a hock ey game. Impact if you get it wrong: Your team could lose a hockeyAnnualgame.minimum salary 2021-22: $750,000 USD (about $986,846 Canadian)–about 14 times more than the average Canadian full-time worker.
So how come a 25-year-old hockey player who is good at getting a chunk of black rubber into a net gets paid about 21 times more than a 46-year-old chief medical officer of health responsible for decisions that affect the health and life or death of about 4.5 million Albertans? Ah. We’re back to what the person paying thinks is valuable. The taxpayers of Alberta pay the salary of the medical officer. The elected representatives of the people of Alberta, and their administrators, decide what the salary is. They think the value of recommendations that impact the health and life or death of about 4.5 million Albertans is worth $591,000 per year.The owners of hockey teams pay the salaries of hockey players. Owners and their staff decide what the salaries are for individual hockey players. They think the minimum annual value of being good at getting a chunk of black rubber into a net is $986,846, the average value is about $2.6 million, and the maximum value is $12.5 million. That’s about 229 times more than an average full-time Canadian worker, and 17.8 times more than Alberta’s CMO of health. The message is clear. Entertainment is worth more than life-or-death health. Go figure. *** I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, email me at Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.
Recently, a brief kerfuffle erupted when it was learned that Dr. Deena Hinshaw–Al berta’s chief medical offi cer of health–was awarded a bonus of $228,000 on top of her $363,000 annual sal ary for a total annual salary of $591,000. Outrageous! At least, outrageous in the opin ion of some critics. I’ve been thinking about both those things–the salary and the out anyone’s salary is appropriate is of course a matter of opinion. It depends on what you compare it to, and what the person paying thinks is valuable. I decided to compare Dr. Hinshaw’s salary to the salary of an average full-time Canadian worker, and to the salary of an NHL hockey player.

Jason’s art ranges from exploration of abstraction in various modes, with certain forays into text, and imagebasedHisworks.interest in art began when he was a child with a natural talent for drawing.
The process involves folding and submerging the canvas into an acrylic dye bath consisting of only pri mary, secondary and print colours.“Idon’t want to muddy the colours. I am working with the basic building blocks of colour and composing paintings with those basics.”
He then unfolds, or par tially unfolds the canvas, drying it flat and folded or drying it hanging on a line, to compare the differences. Throughout the pro cess the canvas will be sub merged any where from eight to 16 times, allowing for drying in between in or der to build up transparent layers and patterns. “The way the paint trav els when it is drying is not something I can control I just sort of observe it,” ex plained Jason. “Instead of me taking a brush and do ing all these fine details it is a process that happens with me managing the event.”
The CAMROSE BOOSTER, September 6, 2022 – Page 11
“I was always encour aged and told I had a gift from God and that I was obliged to use it,” said Ja son admitting that, some times was to a detriment. “I don’t think that helped my young mind to think of it as a talent or gift, it may have helped my ego but it is a big heavy thing to put on a child.”Jason knew early on that he would follow his in terest in art through to post secondary school, where he studied painting and draw ing originally at AUA (then ACAD) in Calgary in the late ’90s, then attained his Masters degree in these disciplines from Concor dia University in Montreal, graduating in 2004. Like so many artists do, Jason worked in other lines of work, to provide financial support and in his words, assist in paying student loans accumulated over his years of post secondary edu cation. This installation For this particular in stallation, Jason will be showing up to 12 pieces of what he refers to as ceremo nial Thecloths.installation is en titled Let Us Go Then which he explained is based on a common phrase amongst Indigenous activists. “In red slang it would be Skoden, ‘called the arms’ or ‘let’s scrap.’ That is how I under stand it to mean, so I decided to unslangify it and put it in proper English as ‘let us go then,” which Jason inter prets as a sense of mourning, letting go, grieving old ways or a family Havingmember.been through recent deaths in his own family and recognizing his parents as they age and face their own mortality, the significance of the work, as mourning or grieving blan kets held up in memory of a loved one, became apparent. “I think in that way they (pieces) are kind of in tense,” said Jason adding that there is also the ferven cy of holding them up in the public sphere. “I will often sit on the work I do and not show it, for whatever variety of rea sons.” However at this point in his own life, recently turning 50, he felt more of an urgency to show the world what he does.

Something that many artists struggle to overcome. These particular pieces are brand new works for Ja son. He worked on them in one conclusive period last summer. “It is a new kind of work that I have never quite done before. I have done a lot of stain painting before and a lot of abstraction but not quite like this.”

Continued from page 11 Sometimes Jason dyes the canvas then puts them in a washing machine as another process to explore the fabric and dye. He developed the pro cess based on the studio and materials he had, working in the backyard on a porch. “I didn’t have the wood shop to produce stretcher frames, but realized early on that I was going to leave them unstretched and work with the creasing and folding irregularities and frayedHeedges.”remarked that the finished piece somewhat resembles a marble effect. “The process is really the product. It is s a set of con ditions and materials and I oversee the production of the pieces.”Jason’s pieces will be exhibited into November, and he welcomes everyone to take a moment to come out and appreciate another form of artistic expression. He will also be available for a “Meet the Artist” ses sion on Friday, September 16 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. This would be a perfect opportunity to come by and speak person ally with Jason and get a feel for the processes and passion an artist puts into their work.

Rob Wal lace will be returning as our head coach this year,” explained Crush president Colin“RhettGrindle.Dudley has retired, so we thank him for his services. It will be an interesting year as the team tries to defend its league title,” he added.

the last year we have been looking into dif ferent projects that we could recommend to the City council for increas ing activity and equity of our City transit system for Camrose community mem bers,” said Mailer stating that two in particular came to the forefront. “The first one is to ex plore on-demand transit service and increase the service to five days per week, making transit avail able to all areas of the city.” Mailer said currently the Camrose Community bus serves a large area in the centre of Camrose. “There are a few issues that come up with having a fixed route. The flexibil ity of stops can be a bit of problem when trying to cover the entirety of Cam rose. There are a few areas that are not overly serviced.
Noting that not all us ers would be comfortable using cellular phones, Mail er said there is the option of individuals or groups of people within a residence (organization) that have a phone line to call into the service“Generally,provider.APPS and phone calls are the two mainHovelandmethods.”asked.
“I as sume that requires an in crease in
thanquirephonesAPPS,ally,Mailertechnology.”saidthatgenerwhenitcomestousingmostpeoplehavecellanditwouldnotreanyupgradingotherdownloadingtheAPP.
The second recommen dation brought forward to council was to explore fund ing options for a connector service into Edmonton and surrounding communities.
“The most common sys tem that we saw was the system using virtual stops. The user end of that would include a few different op tions.
like this can be extremely beneficial.
“That system was very important to a lot of people. Being able to create a con nection to Edmonton,” said Mailer. “Being able to have a dependable mode of tran sit to attend the City for medical appointments or family events, or shopping trips that can’t be done within the City of Camrose, is sort of missing after that project was discontinued by the provincial government.” Mailer explained that conversations are taking place with members of CTAC and other organiza tions within Camrose, re garding pockets of funding within different organiza tions that are being used in different ways to try to fund transit to “InvestigatingEdmonton.aproject
Council inquires Councillor Agnes Hoveland inquired as to which communities CTAC engaged with and if there are any specific details or data on how the on-call system operates. Hoveland also asked for an explana tion on how the on-call sys tem would work.
South of ring road and north of the tracks have been noted as areas where people can’t access the com munityMailerbus.”also said that efficiency of use is a con cern and although the use of one large bus on a fixed route is useful some times of the year with quite a few people, and ridership has been quite successful on the bus, there is a capacity when using something like on-demand to use multiple smaller“Ideallyvehicles.on-demand is “day of” service, when you need a ride from point A to point B, and use an APP to schedule a pick up and drop off, from door to door or can set up a more efficient sys tem that uses virtual stops where the bus picks up a group of people in a spe cific area within walking distance of where they are coming from and get them to their destinations.”
Number one, for getting Camrosians into the City for important ap pointments, but also the possibility of bringing peo ple from Edmonton into Camrose. Make a name for our City and have our City benefit from flow back into our community,” noted Mailer, adding that it is also extremely helpful to look into collaborating with the county and townships in the area on this initiative.
Mailer said that young er people are drawn to com munities that have differ ent options of transit.
Generally, it would be an individual wanting to use it from their apartment building or house trying to get to a place in town. They could use an APP on their phone for Mailerthat.”said that de pending on the organiza tion (service provider) the person would open the APP, select a time and place and submit that to the service provider and then the bus would re-route based on how many people are call ing for the buses at that time, where in the City they are and where they would like to go. “For the user it would be a simple push of button on the phone, and the bus would show up at an allot ted time at a virtual stop near your house.”

Mailer explained that CTAC explored 10 com munities using on-call sys tems, zeroing in on Okotoks and Cochrane as the most applicable to Camrose.
“The first recommendation is to explore on-demand transit service and increase the service to five days per week, making transit available to all areas of the city,” said Community Transit Advisory Committee chair, Chad Mailer.
By Lori Larsen City of Camrose council accepted a report for infor mation from the Commu nity Transit Advisory Com mittee (CTAC) chairperson, Chad Mailer on the status of the City transit program. The presentation was made, in part, to update council on the City tran sit program, but also to assist council members with budgetary decisions with respect to the transit services.“Over

During the August 15 City of Camrose regular council meeting, council passed a motion to cease membership with the Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED) at the end of this fiscal year, March 2023.
“Withdrawing from BRAED is not the end of us working regionally at all,” commented Stasko. “We have reached out to the economic development departments in several communities in the region and are looking forward to working together on promoting both tourism and business investment. We intend to be strategic and will work with the County and other munici pal partners, as appropri ate, on projects that build strength in the region.”

City of Camrose Com munity Development gen eral manager, Patricia MacQuarrie, explained that BRAED is a Regional Economic Development Alliance currently made up of 25 communities and five affiliate members in the Eastern Alberta region and that the City of Cam rose has been a member since the inception of the organization in 1998. “The City remains committed to regional ism for economic develop ment,” said Mayor Stasko. “We thank BRAED for all their work in the past to help develop economic de velopment resources for our area. However, at this time, we are looking to in vest our limited funds into activities with our immedi ate neighbours, including promotion of the Railway Junction Area. The return on investment for promot ing that project with the County is anticipated to be significant.”MacQuarrie further explained that Regional Economic Development Alliances were estab lished by the Province of Alberta in the late ’90s as a way to gather regional information to inform the Provincial Government of needs related to economic development. They are, according to the Government of Al berta website, “indepen dent, non-profit organiza tions made up of member communities and regional stakeholders. Working to gether, the members of each REDA promote longterm economic develop ment and prosperity in their region and collabo rate on projects that they could not necessarily do on their own.”

Continued from page 14 “For the buses it would need the installation of an IPAD or electronic screen that would run the bus end of theHovelandAPP.” asked “Would CTAC be prepared to have a business case ready for our budget deliberations process this year?” Mailer said they (CTAC) have done quite a bit of research in the realms of what it would cost, adding that the first step is to determine the ex tent to which on-call would be used in the city. “That may be one of our first steps, to look into hav ing a research project done as to what type of system would work best in Cam rose. We can definitely have the general costs that we know other cities have in curred taking on this type of project.”Councillor Don Ro sland inquired about CTAC discussions on a Camrose Connector bus. Mailer said CTAC ap proached a taxi company in town to explore the costs of operating a bus to and from Edmonton, but the costs were too high. “To be a feasible cooperation be tween the City and a local company in town, it would have to be subsidized quite heavily to make it reason able for the residents to use thatHesystem.”said that, because of the costs involved with a connector bus project, CTAC has been and will continue to look into fund ing opportunities.Inreference to the Camrose Connector Re gional bus two year (Sep tember 2018 to March 2021 extended due to COVID) pilot project, completely funded by the province, City of Camrose Financial Services general manager Travis Bouck said that the cost to the province to fund the bus, at that time, was approximately $18,000 to $24,000 per month, net, after deducting fares col lected.Councillor Lucas Banack provided further explanation on the on-call system.“The APP based soft ware is real time. So if someone booked the bus on the north side of town (Vic toria Park) and somebody else in the Sparling area, with that APP-based real time technology they could, theoretically, route that bus at a time saver, and also it is a saver economically too, because you are getting ev erybody all at once instead of sending a bus here or taxi here and Councillorthere.”Kevin Hycha inquired about the City

Taxi Token program. “With the on-demand system do you see us still needing the Taxi Token system or need to rampMailerup.” replied. “One thing that came up in our case studies was to start small and scale up for an on-demand system. In that kind of situation, I think the possibility of being able to reallocate Taxi Token dol lars towards an on-demand system could be doable as long as we knew that the outcome wasn’t that people in need were without tran sit. Taxi tokens are specifi cally given to organizations that have individuals that are not able to use or afford other forms of transit, that would be the only way for them to get around town. “The demographics of people that would be us ing an on-call system would be broader than that (pos sibly), anyone in town who would not like to have to use their personal vehicle or people who might have single vehicle households.” Mailer explained that as CTAC progressed for ward, they would collect data on who was using the on-demand system as well as the Taxi Token program. “As we use those two pieces of information together we can see if people are tran sitioning from using Taxi Tokens to on-demand.” He noted that one of the main differences in the two systems would be in the cost, as the Taxi Token program is completely sub sidized (round trip). Councillor Banack added that because the community bus operates on a 9:00 to 5:00 time sched ule, the taxi tokens would still be required to make up thatForgap. more details on the two sitethethepresentedrecommendationstocouncilontransitsystem,visitCityofCamrosewebat

It’s hard to think of summer ending and pre paring gardens and yards for the fall and winter, let alone thinking about the spring of 2023 and the first sign of perennials. But the fall is a good time to plant perennials and bulbs and prepare those already in the garden for the next growing season. In an effort to offer a little hand up for those garden enthusiasts, Cam rose and District Horticul tural Society is hosting a fall plant sale on Saturday, September 17 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at 5 Grand view Crescent (back alley). “All our members are going to be busy over the next few weeks harvest ing and dividing peren nials,” noted Camrose & District Horticultural So ciety member Janine Car roll. “We have so much fun at the sales, talking to people in Camrose with various levels of gardening experience.”Plantsat the sale could include: lilies, Martagon lilies, irises, peonies, hos tas, day lilies, hollyhocks, strawberries and some houseplants.“Therewill also be a se lection of unique perennials from the Camrose Railway StationThegardens.”Horticulture So ciety hosted a spring plant sale and were happy to announce great success with a large variety of plants being quickly sold. All the funds raised during the fall plant sale will go to support a hor ticultural scholarship at OldsGetCollege.anearly start on your fall yard work with some homegrown, lovingly tended perennials and a few tips on preparing for fall. Bulbs A tulip or daffodil peeking up through the, sometimes still snow cov ered, ground is one of the first welcome signs of spring. In order to ensure spring bulb success here are a few tips. Begin by making sure that you choose a spot with at least six hours of sun light. Early bloomers, like daffodils, can be planted in a spot that gets sun be fore the trees have leaves in the spring.

The fourth generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a large personal luxury car produced by Ford for the 1964 to 1966 model years. This generation of the Thunderbird was restyled in favor of a more squaredoff, formal look. The only remnant of the Thunderbird’s former sporty image was the fact that the standard 390-cubicinch, 300 horsepower V8 engine needed nearly 11 sec onds to push the heavy T-bird to 60 mph (97 km/h). The softly sprung suspension allowed considerable body lean, wallow, and float on curves and bumps.

When we moved to Alber ta we decided to look for a car that we could show. We found this car in Edmonton (this spring) and we are working on a few things,” explained Art. “This is our pride and joy. The hub caps are scuffed a bit from being hammered on so I would like to replace those. I have to get a new lever on the shifter because these cars tended to flop out of gear when they are sitting, not when you are driving. I would like new shocks and a regular tune-up on the car,” suggested Art. “When I was a young guy, my dad had a weld ing company and we made trailer hitches. One of his customers came in with a 1965 Thunderbird and I remember my dad stand ing there in awe of it. I will never forget that.

I found a switch for cruise control, but it is not working. I will have to get that looked at. I had it up on a hoist. I want to add new coils and leaf springs in the back. I will repair things over time,” he added. “I found out from a fel low that the front coils have spacers in them. Back in the day they used them when the coils collapsed a bit. That gives it a harder ride in front. I want those taken out and new coils put in,” revealed Art. “We just love the looks of this car. We talked about adding mags (wider tires), but I think we will go with the classic look. I want to keep it as original as I can, but we have chrome tips on the exhaust pipes. We don’t want to make it a hot rod,” Art “Icontinued.justlike the over all look of the car. It looks good. Today, all of the cars look the same.

I may listen to music with an iPad in stead,” Art confessed.

Prefer ably place them in a closed paper bag stored in the re frigerator.Generally speaking you should plant bulbs when nighttime tempera tures are around 4 to 10°C or about six weeks before the ground is expected to freeze. While many spring bulbs need a cooler period to bloom not all should be planted in the fall. Dahl ias and gladiolus should be planted in the spring. A good rule of thumb is if the plant flowers in the spring (tulips, daffodils) then plant them in the fall, if they flower in the summer, like glads, then plant them in theFeedspring.them in the spring. Once planted in the ground the spring bulbs will go dormant for the fall and winter so won’t require fertilizing until the spring.
It was 50 years ago that Camrosian Bernell Odegard won the prize for Champion Rose in the Camrose Hor ticultural Society Flower Show, a long time tradition, now referred to as the Cam rose and District Horticul tural Society Rose and Lily Show, that has showcased the hard work and dedica tion of local gardeners and artists.Bernell’s accomplish ment was recognized in the “Looking Back” 50 Years Ago This Week column of The Camrose Booster, August 23 edition. True to his good na ture and as a beautiful ges ture of thank you, Bernell brought in a sample of this year’s incredible roses (see photo) for The Booster staff to enjoy.Itis very apparent he has not lost his green thumb.

Fifty years later, Bernell Odegard is still raising breathtaking roses in his garden.CHASE
There is such a beauti ful variety of perennials to chose from now that do very well in our zone, so why not plant once and enjoy always.Ifyou are starting out with new-to-your garden perennials, like the ones from the fall plant sale, they can be planted in your beds in the fall. Dig a hole twice as wide and no deep er than the container, wa ter the hole well then put the plant in the ground. If you are preparing your already existing pe rennials, begin by assess ing where and how they grew this season. Deter mine if the plants had enough room for their height and width, which flowered when and if they thrived. Based on your re sults you can transplant or divide in the fall. Once you have cut down your perennials (completely flowered and are dying off) send weeds packing. Remove them now before they have a chance to take root in the spring. If the ground is hard, water the area deeply to loosen the soil so the roots will come out easily. Keep your perennials hydrated for best overwin tering. If the soil is dry to the touch, two inches or so below surface, give your pe rennials a good deep water before the ground freezes. Clean up any disease or insect infested foliage to prevent a recurrence in the spring.Itis not necessary to mulch perennials, however it is recommended for new ly planted or tender (roses, some exotic lilies) peren nial, and in areas that ex perience freeze/thaw. At the end of every season remember to thor oughly clean and dry your gardening tools and store them away in a dry shed or basement. As well drain all machinery and equipment of fuel and oil. For more gardening tips and suggestions speak with one of the Camrose and District Horticulture Society members at the Fall Plant Sale or consider joining the club.

For those with mobility challenges, electric mobil ity aids have become a pop ular and advantageous way to traverse around the City; however, they can pose safe ty concerns if the operators are not being cautious and using proper etiquette and abiding by the laws con cerning the operation of mobilityCamroseaids.Police Service Constable Matt Rolfe indi cated that pursuant to the Traffic Safety Act, a person who utilizes a mobility aid meets the definition of a pedestrian and therefore, must abide by all provi sions of the Act and all as sociated“Theregulations.operationof mobil ity aids on roadways poses risks to both the operators of the aids and motorists,” explained Rolfe. “The aid operator is often travelling far below the posted speed limit which can potentially impede regular motor ve hicle traffic; and if the aid is travelling in the centre of the roadway it makes it very challenging for mo torists to go around them safely.”Recognizing that there may be a situation where someone operating a mobil ity aid may have to enter onto or cross a roadway, Rolfe advised the following. Approach the intersec tion on the sidewalk slowly and cautiously. Always stop at the in tersection and look both ways for traffic before en tering to cross the roadway. Move across the road way as quickly and safely as possible and enter the sidewalk on the other side respecting the presence of pedestrians or other side walkIfusers.itis necessary to go onto a roadway for a short distance to avoid or move around a hazard, apply the same rules as a pedestrian. Travel facing traffic and as close to the edge or right side of the roadway or on the shoulder.“Neverjut out into traf fic thinking, firstly that motorists will see you, and secondly, be able to stop,” advised Rolfe. “Always wait until it is safe to proceed, follow the road rules and quickly get to the sidewalk again.”Rolfe also advised mo torists to be defensive driv ers and be prepared to re act safely and quickly in the event that the operator of a mobility aid does enter a roadway.“Slow down and give them time to move safely back onto the sidewalk or private property. Honking the vehicle horn or yell ing out the window could startle the operator and may cause unnecessary conflict.”

William Kenneth “Ken” Drever October 29, 1929 ~ August 29, 2022 Ken Drever of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Monday, August 29, 2022, at the age of 92 years. Ken Drever was born the first son of Cyril and Marguerite Drever. He grew up on the family farm southwest of Hardisty and attended Crickle Dale School until high school, which was in Hardisty. While attending high school, he worked a janitorial job, giving him his first income. He invested that income into the local CIBC bank. They were impressed with that and gave him a job after he graduated from high school. It wasn’t long before he was driving trucks in his spare time and was then offered a job with Herb Bricker at the local BA Oil Bulk station. In 1954, Ken had the opportunity to take over the business and, with help from his uncle Dick Drever, he was able to do that. He always remembered the help he received and in turn helped many other young men get started in their business ventures.
Ken was always a very community-minded person. In Hardisty, he was on the Town Council and was a member of the Shriners, Masons and the United Church. In Camrose, he continued on with these organizations plus joined the Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce. Ken was well known for stepping to the front of the line with both his time and financial support. Ken was one of the original members of the Battle River Community Foundation board of directors and one of the first donors. He helped on the board and established many new funds over the next 25 years. Ken was instrumental in getting the CRE on its feet. He taught his family, and anyone who would listen, the importance of giving back to your community.Kenwas predeceased by his wife Iris Drever; twin sons at birth; his parents Cyril and Marguerite Drever; sisters Muriel, Florence Byrne (Don), Bill Cooke, Yvonne Senger (John), and Marguerite Meland; brother Jim Drever (Linda); also, his in-laws Martin Creasy (Esther), Phyllis Evans (Les), Bryan Creasy, Donald Creasy, David Creasy, Irene Creasy, Kenny Sutter, and Louis Swanson.

As time went on, Ken made the wise decision to purchase a quarter of land instead of a motor bike. That started his “farmingon-the-side career”. Time turned up other quarters to purchase.
Doris was a great supporter and cheerleader for her sons and for youth sports. She was on the executive of the Camrose Minor Hockey Association and attended all of her sons’ hockey and ball games. She went to as many of her grandson’s hockey, football, and lacrosse games as she could. Doris and Wayne, in the last few years, could be counted on to be on the sidelines cheering on Darren’s ball games as Anotherwell.passion of Doris’s was doing crafts. She always seemed to have some project on the go. She loved sewing, crocheting, putting together photo albums, and scrapbooking. Flowers were another passion. She took great pride in the flowers and plants she and Wayne grew in their garden. She also loved having flowers in her home. Doris was a people person. She billeted several young hockey players from Sweden and the Czech Republic when they came to Camrose to play in the Viking Cup. Some of those players went on to have careers in the NHL. Many of them have still kept in touch with Doris and Wayne. Doris will be lovingly remembered by her husband Wayne; sons Kevin (Joanne), Blaine (Vivian), and Darren; grandchildren Ashley (James), Garrett, Dillon, and Brandon; great-granddaughter Sawyer; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
It is with the deepest sorrow that his family announces the death of our beloved husband, father and grandfather on August 20, 2022 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose, Alberta. He is survived by his wife Eva of 48 years, son Norman, and daughters Jennifer, Emma and Elizabeth and their families. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to a Canadian National Railway family, Joe’s passion was being a railroader. On his father’s advice, he applied to work as an apprentice in the shops at the age of 16. At 18, he applied to the CN Police department, where he remained through many moves to and from other provinces from coast to coast. He retired from the CN Police in Edmonton, Alberta, as Deputy Chief of Western Canada. After retiring and much travelling, he and his wife set down roots in Camrose, where he volunteered in various ways in the community and remained interested in trains, railroads, history and current affairs. He was a member of the Dormer Masonic Lodge, AFAM, in East Kildonan, Manitoba. Special message from Brother Fred: Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.Joe was predeceased by his parents, four brothers and his former wife Marjorie. Cremation has taken place and a private religious service will be held at a later date in Jasper, Alberta.

Laurent was born to Ernest and Claudia Cantin in Lafleche, Saskatchewan, where he grew up on the family farm. He was the oldest of five children. Lorne left school to start working on the farm in the area. At age eighteen, Lorne left for Vancouver Island to look for work. Lorne ended up working in a coal mine for a bit, but didn’t like working underground. Lorne then went back to Saskatchewan, where he met Margaret Buckosky at age 21. They were married in 1956. Lorne was a meat manager in Limerick, Saskatchewan. Their daughter Beverly was born in 1957. A year later, Lorne decided to take his wife and daughter back to Vancouver Island to a place called Honeymoon Bay, where Lorne worked in the mill. In 1963, Lorne and Margaret had another daughter named Sherrilee. Shortly after their second daughter was born, Lorne and his wife and two daughters moved to the Cloverdale, British Columbia area, where they lived on a turkey farm for many years, raising not only turkeys, but a little bit of everything. Lorne loved the farm life. After the farm, Lorne and his family moved a few more times in the Cloverdale area until Lorne decided it was time to move on, and Alberta is where they decided to go. In 1976, they moved to Hinton, Alberta, where Lorne worked for the Town of Hinton. A year later, they moved to Drayton Valley for a year while Lorne worked as a janitor for the school. Then it was on to Sedgewick, where Lorne and Margaret had a contract for cleaning the school. They also ran a café for a short time as well. Then they were on the move again, this time to Wetaskiwin, where they managed an apartment for a year. Finally, they moved to Camrose, where they had contracts for janitorial services. Once again, Lorne and Margaret moved to a farm outside of Camrose, where Lorne was able to live his dream of farming with the animals and having his awesome garage sales. Lorne stayed for his remaining years in Camrose. Lorne lost his wife Margaret in 2007 and felt very lost and devastated. A few years later, Lorne got together with his longtime friend Rose, whom he later married.

Myron Graham of Camrose passed away on Saturday, August 27, 2022, just short of his 94th birthday. He is survived by his wife Doreen of 68 years; sons Barry (Carolyn) Graham, Gordy (Tammy) Graham and Kevin (Tara) Graham; seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren; four step-grandchildren; and four step-greatgrandchildren.Myronwasa well-respected gentleman in the community and was involved in many activities in his life. He was an avid pilot, camper, motorcyclist, fisherman, and a great dancer. As a talented tinkerer, he loved fixing clocks, making wine and inventing neat things. His neighbours were always surprised at his ability to get things done. If there was a shingle loose or an unruly branch, he didn’t wait for help, he just got it done.
His favourite hobby was helping his son Barry build an ultra-fast cross-country aircraft, to which he devoted many hours over a few years, and all this while turning 80. He was part of the ski jumping community as a young man and taught all of us to ski at a young age. This instilled a love of the outdoors in the whole family. His love of dancing was always reflected in Mom’s eyes, and they danced together for over six decades. Nary a bad word was ever spoken and he set the mark by which we all live. He was predeceased by his parents Vincent “Jack” and Gayle; brother Larry; and grandson David. He lived a perfect life and will be sorely missed. A private graveside service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com

In fact, driving is a wonder ful place to escape distraction. It’s a place that allows your mind to venture across 100,000 inspirations.
Volunteers Joe Tomkow, Gladys Holdsworth, Bonnie Cooke and Shellie Prediger were kept busy preparing a spaghetti dinner for the community at the Moose Hall. Every Wednesday a free dinner is offered to bring people together for a meal and fellowship.
Driving thoughts
Think of “Sully” Sullenberger who landed flight 1549 with 155 people on board on the Hudson River. Had he been in a fit of rage and wild-eyed angry at those %^&*# birds that flew into his engines he would not have had the demeanor required to be calm and collected so as to make such a miracle landing. He saved every passenger. He did so because he re mained completely in control. Drivers need to be in charge. Anger diminishes judgment.
Standing on a side walk watching a driver di rect a car along the street one might get the notion that the driver didn’t have a single thought other than to keep the car ac ceptable to the road. Most drivers are full of thought.
In Loving Memory of Edward “Ed” John Schultz September 26, 1928 ~ August 31, 2022 Ed Schultz of Camrose, Alberta passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital on August 31, 2022, just prior to his 94th birthday. Ed was born in Central Butte, Saskatchewan on September 26, 1928, to John and Grace Schultz. He was the eldest of five children and grew up living on the farm. While living in Edmonton, Alberta and working in finance, he was set up on a blind date, when he met the love of his life, Joan. They were engaged on Valentine’s Day 1959 and married that October.Ed’sjob allowed them to reside in BC, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. During these adventures, they started building a family together and were blessed with three amazing children Dawn, Karen, and Greg. Ed was a wonderful father who was always enthusiastic about whatever his children were doing. Family camping trips, visiting Kelowna in the summer, and never missing a family get-together with loved ones were of upmost importance to Ed. His pride and joy were his children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren, but most of all, his wife Joan. They built a beautiful lifeYoutogether.could always find Ed (“Electric Eddie”) on the dance floor at a special event or drinking an ice cold beer on his patio on a hot summer day. His house was always spotless and lawn pristine.
“Dedicated
While driving we often imagine what the driver behind us is thinking. Since they have been following close for many kilometers one ponders, “Are they an noyed, do they want to pass?”

Guest editorial
There is a mystery that always puzzles me when driving through areas where seemingly there were no intersections. For a long distance a car is just a few car-lengths back. Then a check of the rear-view mirror and the car has vanished. Where did it go? No access roads were noticed, Is the other driver in difficulty? I keep driving, but with pondering thoughts. It is as if a bond was broken. My mother and dad had an unusual driving ex perience in 1953. They bought our family’s first new car. All previous cars were pre-owned after a chain of other pre-owners. Both my parents had their tap root in Prince Edward Island. The depression and war years were behind and times were becoming more prosper ous. They picked up a new Pontiac, a two-tone blue, in Oshawa and drove to “The Island” (It was spoken as if the world had only one island.) On their return they travelled across the northern US states. One day, for nearly the whole day, there was a matching two-tone new Pontiac behind. The following morning, at some point my dad exclaimed, “That same Pontiac is behind us again.”Thatnight they checked in to a motel and a knock came upon their door. It was a farm couple from Sas katchewan who drove the trailing Pontiac. “Since we have been following for two-days we thought we should introduce ourselves.” They played cards late into the night and exchanged Christmas cards for years.Itis not my habit to tell other drivers how to drive. So, this will break my standard. I offer one thought about driving. Train yourself—make it your personal rule,—“Never allow yourself to get mad while driving.” The driver of a car is a Captain and must always be in charge. Drivers have the same responsibilities as an airline pilot or Captain of a cruise ship. Even if all of the passengers are shouting with anger, the driver must concentrate on safety. Four thousand pounds of metal hurling down a highway at 100 km per hour requires focus.
Then you arrive at a passing lane and find that the following driver still stays close behind. Awh gee, I wasn’t holding them up after all.

Bernice was born with Down’s Syndrome, and although life was not without struggles, she taught our family how to love unconditionally, and how to accept all people with differences. She learned to read, write, swim, bowl, and enjoyed Special Olympics with her many ‘group home’ friends. Her favorite craft was rug hooking. Bernice had such a great heart, and always wanted everyone to have her gifts. She passed away peacefully and leaves us with wonderful memories.Bernice is survived by her sisters Betty (Manfred) and Ellen (Marvin); nieces and nephews; along with her good friend Dennis Sturrock. She was predeceased by her father Ken (1981), mother Mydra (1998), and brother Stan (2022). We would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at long-term care in Wetaskiwin for the good care she received over the past four years. A family ‘Celebration of Life’ and graveside service will be held at a later date.
Along with musings about other drivers, there are the additional thoughts about the garden, a wood working idea, the menu for dinner and what you would say to some people if you met them. You may even have such a wonderful thought that, if acted upon, it could advance humanity. You are certain that you will remember this wonder later. Later, you remember that once there was an amazing idea.
Left to cherish his memory are children Dawn (Dale) Zimmer, Karen (Roger) Lestus and Greg Schultz; fifteen grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and siblings Lawrence and Fran. Ed is predeceased and reunited with the love of his life Joan; grandson Elian; and three sisters Margaret, Marian, and Dorothy. Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.Aprivate family service will be held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Ed’s memory may be made to the Parkinson’s Society of Alberta or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

FASD Awareness month
FASD is a lifelong dis ability and individuals with FASD will experience some degree of challenges in their daily living, and may need support with mo tor skills, physical health, learning, memory, atten tion, communication, emo tional regulation, and so cial skills to reach their full potential.
By Lori Larsen In an effort to build awareness on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and the impact it has on in dividuals with FASD and their families, September has been recognized as FASD Month with an over arching theme of “Building Strengths and Abilities”. On September 9, In ternational FASD Day, and throughout the month of September, communities around the world will be recognizing FASD Month with a variety of initia tives and events in hopes of raising awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder to improve prevention of FASD and diagnosis and support for individuals withMoreFASD.than four per cent of Canadians have FASD, which accounts for more people than autism, cere bral palsy and down syn dromeThiscombined.year’s theme of Building Strengths and Abilities goes beyond the challenges faced by those with FASD and celebrates their contributions and potential as well as the strengths and abilities of families and community members and those who are pregnant or parenting. According to CanFASD Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorderis a diagnostic term used to describe im pacts on the brain and body of individuals prenatally exposed to alcohol.
Booster In recognition of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness, City of Camrose Mayor PJ Stasko signed a proclamation declaring September 9 FASD Awareness Day. Witnessing the signing was FASD educator Jennifer Willes, left, and FASD clinic coordinator Amanda Lindholm, right.
However, and in keep ing with the this year’s FASD Month theme, each individual with FASD needs to be recognized and supported for their own unique challenges and strengths.“Inour families, it is important to recognize strengths and abilities to support people with FASD to achieve their fullest potential,” noted Prairie Central FASD Associa tion, FASD educator Jen nifer Willes. “In our com munities, especially rural communities, we are great at using our existing re sources to meet the needs of individuals with FASD and their families. Having a strength-based approach in our community helps ev eryone respond positively to localConversationsneeds.” focused on prevention are also fo cusing on the strengths and abilities of those who are pregnant and parenting. “It is important to rec ognize the strengths of our girls, women and all preg nant people, to celebrate who they are and what they are good at,” remarked Willes. “We need to em power those of childbear ing years with information and support to achieve good health. That means posi tively promoting and sup porting alcohol free preg nancies.“There is no known safe amount of alcohol to drink during pregnancy. Experts recommend that the safest option is no alcohol at all.” Other agencies in Cam rose including, McMan Youth and Family Services, and The Open Doors work in partnership with FASD with Prairie Central to pro vide vital services to those with FASD and their fami lies support Camrosesystems.willbehosting

My kids were complaining they couldn’t nd a T V program to watch, so I told them how little choice there was back when I was a kid. My ve-year old daughter rolled her eyes and said, “Things have changed in the last 100 years, Mommy,” and went back to her scrolling Have we checked all food to see if exploding them makes them into something better, or did we just stop with Havecorn?youever wondered why you bake cookies, but you cook bacon?

Recognizing the impor tance of applying a diverse lens to everything they do, the Camrose Kodiaks orga nization recently added the position of Equity, Diversi ty and Inclusion liaison. “Our goal is to embed the best practices possible in everything the organiza tion does,” explained Ko diaks general manager Bo ris Rybalka. “For the past few years the Kodiaks have been wanting to implement this new position in the or ganization and with COV ID putting a curve ball into things we had to wait a few years.”The organization is pleased to announce that filling the volunteer posi tion of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion liaison will be Andrea Gutmann, some one who’s name has become synonymous with the Ko diaks“Weorganization.couldnot have found a better person to lead us into the future in this position,” said Rybalka. “Inclusion and diver sity are becoming key com ponents to successful orga nizations and the Camrose Kodiaks are leading the path in junior hockey by taking the step to have a person come on board to support this work,” re marked Guttman. “This is a wonderful opportunity to be proactive in understand ing how and when we build awareness around these topics to strengthen our communities.”Excitedto see the or ganization moving forward with such initiatives as a dedicated liaison, to ensure diversity and inclusion are in the forefront, Rybalka commented that he can not wait to see all of the things that will be happening for the organization.Andreahas already been an important part of the Kodiaks success as a billet family for players and organizing the players into the schools. “Andrea and her family are a huge part of the Com munity and the Kodiak or ganization and we welcome her and her energy, experi ence and enthusiasm to this new role with the Kodiaks,” remarkedGuttmanRybalka.saidthat it all begins with opportunities for conversations and dis cussions and equipping the Kodiaks with the language and supports needed in this work. “Our Kodiaks al ready do much of this work and we can be intentional in celebrating and continue to build them as leaders.”
A recent study found that the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found golfers drink , on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a season, which means, on average, that golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon. Kind of makes you proud. I almost feel like a hybrid. That special parenting moment when your child gets their rst paycheque and complains about how much was taken out in taxes.
