The stage is being set for some wonderful upcoming events filled with the excitement of honouring the arts.

The City of Camrose Community Services, Recreation and Culture department is preparing for another busy season of offering residents and visitors opportunities to appreciate the world of art.

Nominations are now open for the 2024 Mayor’s Arts Awards.

Last year marked the inaugural year of what has now become an annual event to recognize the incredible talent and contributions towards the arts in Camrose.

The Mayor’s Arts Awards Program recognizes two categories of contribution: the Creator Award recognizing the achievements of an individual or group demonstrating, creating, practicing and/ or performing art and the Arts Champion Award recognizing an individual, group or business that has made extraordinary contributions to the arts through one or more of the following: the creation and fostering of artistic endeavors; outstanding contributions in the areas of: volunteerism, advocacy, support, and

development. Winners of the awards will be announced during a main event to be held in September. For complete details on the Mayor’s Arts Awards including last years winners, 2023 Creator Award Dr. Ardelle Ries and Champion Award Winner, Churchmice Players, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca/ mayorsartsawards Camrose will once again be the focal point for provincially renowned art when the Alberta Community Arts Clubs Association (ACACA) Central Art Show returns to the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Last year marked the first year for the Mayor’s Arts Awards.

Gift of authenticity

Thirty-one years ago, I met

43 people for the first time–39 other students and four faculty members in a two-year master’s degree program. Of those, 37 of us graduated in 1995. That group has been meeting once a year ever since. Last weekend was our 29th reunion.

Twenty-nine years ago, our ages ranged from 28 to 54. Now our ages range from 57 to 82.

Three students had babies during our two-year program. Those babies are now adults.

Then, we were fully engaged with career, family and attempts at work-life balance. Now we talk about “being” as much as “doing.”

Back then, we were attending weddings and baby showers. Now we’re attending retirement parties and funerals.

Unique

Over the years, more than twenty groups graduated from the two-year program. Ours is the only group that has continued to maintain contact.

We had a conversation about what made this group different–with the added perspective of having with us two faculty members including the program founder.

Two factors seemed important.

• We were set up to be a learning community.

• We valued authenticity, to the extent that we were capable of it. Here are some things I noticed.

A learning community

What brought us together in the first place was a desire to learn. Most of us wanted to learn things that would further our professional growth. During our program, we were taught that “learning” encompasses personal as well as professional; inner as well as outer; and physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions.

It was impossible to limit ourselves to career-related learning. We had to demonstrate that our learning was integral to all aspects of our lives.

That desire for multi-dimensional learning also helped make authenticity possible. We got used to asking, “What have I learned about myself?” “What patterns are we noticing?” “What does this mean?” “How can we apply this in other circumstances?”

We are the way we are

In contrast to the last high school reunion I attended, I wasn’t worried about looking good! As near as I could tell, that was a pattern.

Some of us were in a good space, mostly having a wonderful life. Almost three decades after we graduated, we had newfound freedom, financial security, happy long-term relationships. We’d experienced lifelong dreams of travel and adventure.

On the other hand, some of us were in difficult times. We’d had career or business failures, depression, financial losses, turbulent or ending relationships, health challenges, heavy caregiver responsibilities.

What seemed remarkable is that, as a group, we did not try to pretend anything was better or worse than it was. We are the way we are.

Listening

During our two years together, we were not always good at listening. Since then, we have learned to listen. We listen in silence, listen without judgment, listen without giving advice or trying to fix anyone. We have learned just to listen with our whole minds and hearts.

That creates a climate of safety in which we can speak what is our truth. Sometimes we discover our truth because of such deep listening. A few people commented that this is the only group in which they feel that degree of safety.

Deep listening made authenticity possible.

Design

As befits a group in a Whole System Design program, both the setting and the processes we used during our reunion were designed intentionally to create an environment in which each of us would gain what was most important to us while we were together. It worked! Of course, it helps that we have known each other for thirty-one years. Possibly we are all 31 years wiser!

***

So–what are circumstances that help you feel safe enough to be authentic? What enables you to listen deeply, and create safety for others to be authentic? I’ve learned those are useful questions.

***

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 two business days.

Music festival

Camrose has been privileged to enjoy another fantastic music festival thanks to so many dedicated people. To all the hard-working organizers to get it all set up, locations, dates, programs, contestants, volunteers and adjudicators. So many arrangements before the actual week of festival.

Thanks to the many committed volunteers who helped out in several locations and positions. What would Camrose do without all of our helpful volunteers?

The special people who all made it so exciting and enjoyable, thanks to the participants. They spent many hours practicing for the festival and had to miss or rearrange other activities to make time to share their talents. And what a variety of talents.

Now the parents and teachers who encouraged their children to share their talents. All the extra planing they did to make it possible for children to attend the festival is to be commended.

Then there is the learning part of the festival. All the adjudicators for the various arts were so positive and cheerful. They shared their expertise with the students, encouraging them and passing on tips for the students to grow and improve their performances.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to attend the final concert on Tues-

day evening heard a few of the amazing talents in our locale. Thank you.

Bernice E. Elgert, Camrose

Working democracy

I call on you even though I know most of you disagree with me politically. Like most people in a working democracy and I include myself, we have become too comfortable. Studies show that most of us vote against our own interests all too often.

Our politics have fractured. There are two basic positions. Since the mid ‘70s we have been fed propaganda to the effect that making the rich richer will be better than sharing limited world resources more fairly. We now have almost 50 years of evidence that this is absolutely false, but the super wealthy are now so powerful that they own most world governments.

In the USA, they have convinced almost half the population that voting in an idiot as a dictator will be better for them than maintaining a democracy, flawed as it may be. We in Alberta seem to be on the same track.

During the last 50 years we have seen another experiment in how to govern, the Scandinavian countries, where the country’s wealth is shared more equably. It’s not perfect. They also have millionaires, but they are among the happiest and wealthiest people on the planet.

The Scandinavian countries are among the highest taxed in the world, but that is how they pay for their much better education, health care and safety nets for their most vulnerable citizens. Let’s also talk about carbon tax.

Carbon taxes are not going to solve the climate change question. However there is no question among the experts that making a resource like oil more expensive will reduce its use by most people. As oil resources deplete they become more expensive anyway so we need to learn how to substitute. But we must do much more. Will we? I’m not holding my breath.

A word on capitalism. Properly regulated, it has its place. Unregulated it guarantees extreme inequality, that has in the past always led to revolution, although not always successful, it does guarantee the death of significant numbers.

A word on democracy. Democracy requires an informed educated population to work well. An uninformed poorly educated and fairly comfortable population is not going to expend too much energy on thinking and are easily led by charlatans. Deep thinking uses up to 40 per cent of the bodies energy resources so we have developed short cuts, like letting someone else do the thinking. Enough for now.

• Close to 600 delegates have registered for the Alberta Teachers’ Association Health and Physical Education Council Conference being held in Camrose this weekend. HPEC Steering Committee Co-chair Yvonne Becker attributes the large attendance to the fact that Augustana is centrally located for delegates and that the focus of the conference will be the province’s new physical education curriculum. Laura Dillon and Jocelyn Shea were just two of the many volunteers who helped prepare for the event.

• The Commanding Officer of the Camrose Rotary #644 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Alex Boos, announced that six members have been awarded summer training scholarships. Flight Sergeants J.D. Lien and Ryan Fischer received flying training scholarships leading to private pilot’s licences at the end of their seven-week course. Guiding scholarships were awarded to WO2 Marshall Kartz and Sgt. Nathan Thompson, who will attend their six-week course at Penhold leading to their glider pilot licences. Flt. Sgt. Sharon Bunz will attend a technical training course at Camp Borden, Ontario, while Sgt. Brian Lussier will attend a Senior Leaders’ Course at CFB Cold Lake.

• Wallace L. (Wally) Johnson commenced his duties last week as Manager of the City of Camrose. Mr. Johnson has been Director of Administrative Policy and Control of Edmonton Parks for the past three years.

• Inspecting flood waters about six miles northwest of Camrose near the Joe Wenig farmstead were County Councillors Oscar Mallas and Vern Grundberg, County Manager Rudy Magneson, Vince Molloy, Branch Manager of Torchinsky Consultants in Red Deer, Camrose Mayor Rudy Swanson and City Manager Wally Johnson. At this point, flood water from the record snowfall last winter was backed up a mile and a half and an estimated 2,000 acres were under water. Slightly lower in the drainage system is the 400 acre Imperial Oil Dam, contained by dikes six to eight feet high, which were presently submerged.

• The CLC Vikings have placed two players on the first all star team of the ACAC and one player on the second team. Svend Green, with the best goaltender’s record in the league, was an obvious choice for all conference honours. Bill Andreassen, Captain of the Vikings, is one of the two top defencemen in the league. The Vikings also placed forward Phil Irwin on the second all star team.

Plan Now For Their Future Needs

You’ve worked your entire life to build your assets. Sound estate planning can ensure these hard-ear ned assets are passed on to your family according to your wishes, without interference. Talk to us today about developing a plan that makes sense for you and your loved ones.

4918-51 STREET

As our population ages, the need for at-home support services for older adults is necessary. These services play a crucial role in empowering older adults to stay in their homes, preserve their independence, decrease social isolation and visit individuals within their community.

Who is the Older Adult Services Team? We are a team of nine providing service with a people centred approach. Camrose and District FCSS in partnership with Flagstaff Family and Community Services recently received a grant of $800,000 from the Government of Canada’s Age Well at Home Initiative to deliver volunteer-based practical support services to help low-income and otherwise vulnerable seniors age at home. Our enthusiastic staff are well equipped to assist any request older adults come to us with.

What are the services you could access? Senior’s CHOICES: Assisting individuals in staying independent by providing essential yard and home maintenance. Funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Age Well at Home Initiative.”

Nav-CARE: Providing companionship to lonely or socially isolated older adults.

Elder Abuse: Respond to concerns or complaints about abuse, create safety, education around frauds and scams all through home visitation.

Drive Happiness: A proud partnership. Volunteer drivers can provide transportation for older adults who may have barriers to other forms of transportation.

The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions.

Pre -planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost- sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no - obligation consultation with one of our directors.

Augustana showcases to the community

University of Alberta Augustana Campus (Augustana) celebrated the work and achievements of students and staff during the annual Augustana Showcase held on April 18 at various locations throughout the campus.

The event welcomed alumni, donors, community partners and residents of Camrose and area onto the campus to experience first hand the amazing contributions of campus staff, faculty and students.

The event began at 1 p.m. with “Act 1-Opener” at the Faith & Life Chapel.

Augustana associate dean of Teaching-Academic Planning Anne McIntosh opened the event with welcoming remarks and an explanation of the event’s schedule and activities including live student presentations and poster gallery presentations.

search. “That is an incredible percentage. That does not happen anywhere else, that so many undergraduate students participate–do research with their professors. And do amazing things at a very early stage in their careers.”

Tryphonopoulos thanked Augustana instructors for being a large part of putting together the presentations by students as well as offering a glimpse into some of their own work and research.

“A lot happens at Augustana over the course of an academic year, and the Augustana Showcase has been designed to show off to our community what we have been up to.”

To kick off the full guest experience, students Lucille Wang (Association Between Wildfire Smoke and Reproductive Success in Declining Population of Tree Swallows) and Anjola Fadayomi (Augustana Software Tutorials: A viable tool for learning?) presented short synopses on their research and findings.

Guests were then invited to explore the campus and attend various other live student presentations from 1:30 until 5:10 p.m., with a break at 2:30 p.m., to visit the Forum and Wahkohotowin Lodge, where a variety of student presentations were available in the Poster Gallery.

At 5:30 p.m., guests returned to the Faith and Life Chapel to hear from outgoing Augustana dean Demetres Tryphonopoulos with the Community Report highlights.

“It is a special pleasure for me to welcome you to our annual spring Showcase. This event presents many opportunities to explore and learn from our students and the outstanding research they have conducted over the academic year.”

Tryphonopoulos noted that this year’s event featured over 100 research presentations, mostly by senior students which he remarked represents about 500 students who could have done presentations or shown their re-

Tryphonopoulos continued by saying that Augustana continues to be committed to building on the reputation for high quality, innovative and interdisciplinary programs in the liberal arts and sciences and providing students with extensive opportunities in the area of undergraduate research, community service learning and international study.

“Each student who comes to Augustana participates in interdisciplinary learning and instead of taking a narrow focus, our students are encouraged and become proficient in seeing various areas of our world work together.”

He went on to explain that Augustana provides a distinctive undergraduate experience characterized by close student faculty relationships and numerous opportunities for students to participate in the classroom and within campus organizations and athletics.

“Students benefit from the engagement advantages afforded them in a small campus while earning a degree from a large campus, University of Alberta, one of Canada’s leading universities. But our students’ learning doesn’t happen only in the classroom. This past year many of our students teamed up on projects with community organizations.”

Tryphonopoulos recognized the incredible work done by Augustana faculty in the area of research but also, very importantly, for their continued support and enthusiasm for providing students with the best learning experience, including partnering with community organizations and others beyond the borders of the university.

fessor of physical education.

“Also early this year, assistant professor Willow White received the 2023 Provost Award for Early Achievement of Excellence for undergraduate teaching. Only two faculty members across the entire U of A campus receive that award annually.

“As the academic year comes to a close, we are excited for students to continue conducting vibrant research projects. And many of them will go on to do that, perhaps next year at Augustana but also at other places as graduate students in professional schools.

“We have brilliant students.”

Tyrphonopoulos said that as a smaller campus, Augustana students are also afforded more opportunities to connect with the community.

“Just as we are continually building up on our high quality programs with extensive opportunities for students in transformative research, so too we are committed to responding to the needs of our community.”

Therapy and Speech/Language Pathology) offered by the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine.

“People from Central Alberta who are seeking careers in health care will have more opportunities to pursue professional programs closer to home.”

He said that Augustana has current plans (few years away) to offer a full-fledged program in nursing as well.

“We have seen significant support from our community, a community in which we are immensely proud of and grateful to be a part of,” said Tryphonopoulos, referring to the generous support of donors and in particular the $2 million donation by a few alumni, the largest gift in Augustana’s history. “The money will be used to fund up to eight scholarships, which will pay for the full fees of four international and four domestic students.”

In referring to the many ways Augustana connects to the community, Tryphonopoulos mentioned not only the Showcase, but Vikings games, faculty research, Community Service Learning (CSL), various choirs and programs and Lunch and Learn lectures, conferences and talks.

Continuing the rest of the evening events, were presentations by student Kari White (A study on invertebrate abundance as a measure of food availability for the declining tree swallow) and students Anamaria Garcia Beltran, Cassandra Kanters, Cadence Kruk and Brock Dalke on the Roundhill Renaissance/RHR Field Trip, after which guests were invited to self tour the student poster gallery and showcase, interactive science demonstrations, listen to performances by the Augustana choir, take in rapid research roundtables and enjoy a variety of refreshments and snacks.

He spoke of the two new faculty welcomed to the team at Augustana this year, Dr. Clark Banack, assistant professor of Rural and Political Studies and Gianluca Vernillo assistant pro-

He added that Augustana is excited to be offering four new programs in the fall 2024 that respond to community needs, including; a Bachelor of Education Program in Elementary Education and Masters programs (Occupational Therapy, Physical

The Showcase is a wonderful opportunity for community members and other guests to experience the hard work of University of Alberta Augustana Campus students, faculty and staff very successfully presented in just one afternoon and evening.

Motherhood musical is a must see for mothers

Motherhood: The Musical will be performed by members of Water Works Players (Wetaskiwin) and Churchmice Players (Camrose) on May 4 and 5 in Bittern Lake, and May 10, 11 and 12 at the Bailey Theatre.

Directed by Jane Gusdal, who is also Brooke in the play, Motherhood also stars Pam Sherman as Barb, April McCorquindale as Amy, Kate Down as Tina and Sandra Schole as Amy’s mom.

“When I was reading through scripts, I came upon this one and started to laugh uncontrollably. It is funny and I could really identify with the themes that were being talked about in the show. I thought if it has so much that I can identify with, there has to be a lot of moms who will connect with this show as well. It is not just moms, but people who have moms, basically all family that can recognize the themes in the show,” explained Jane.

It is a comedic and heartwarming stage production that celebrates the joys and challenges of motherhood. Written by Sue Fabisch, with music and lyrics by Casey Frazier, this musical offers an entertaining and relatable look at the experiences of mothers from different backgrounds and stages of life.

that makes it easy to work with. We become family in the show. We have a small group with tremendous singing talent. It features four part harmony throughout. We have had so much fun being in a small cast. We have four main actresses and one cameo appearance,” said June. The musical follows four women as they navigate the ups and downs

of motherhood, tackling topics such as pregnancy, childbirth, sleepless nights, balancing work and family, and the unconditional love between mothers and their children. Each character brings her own unique perspective to the story, allowing audiences to connect with the joys and struggles of motherhood in a humourous and poignant way.

“Churchmice has done productions at the Bailey before, so we wanted another one. This was an idea to have another production in May. It gives us another opportunity to entertain the community,” she added.

Motherhood: The Musical features catchy songs, witty dialogue, and heartfelt moments that resonate with audiences of all ages. It explores the universal themes of love, sacrifice, and the bond between mothers and their children, while also celebrating the humour and resilience that mothers often embody.

“Everybody should see this show because everyone has a mom who went through the whole motherhood experience. They can truly identify what we are singing and talking about. It will

bring back memories and tear-jerkers and yet we poke fun at all the ups and downs that happen in motherhood,” Jane shared.

Since its premiere, Motherhood: The Musical has been performed in theatres delighting audiences with its humour, warmth and relateable storytelling. It has become a favourite among both mothers and theatergoers alike, offering a lighthearted and entertaining celebration of the joys and challenges of motherhood. “If you are a women, you’ll identify with everything in the show, but as a man, you will cringe first and then laugh. The humour is directed at women, but everyone will see the humour in the theme. It is meant to make you laugh, but at the same time, it goes through the ups and downs of motherhood and that it is

totally worth it,” Jane laughed.

“Because this is a combination of Water Works and Churchmice Players productions, we wanted the show to be in both communities. There is another show in Wetaskiwin at the same time, but the main reason is that Bittern Lake wanted to have some shows in their community hall to get more use out of it. They approached us to bring theatre there to maybe start some theatre in the community,” explained Jane.

“It is fun to be a part of the entire Churchmice Players family, but this small cast has really made it feel like family. It has been both heartwarming and rewarding. By being the director and in the play, I’m so fortunate to have such strong people around me.”

Tree planting project approved

City of Camrose council approved a request by the Camrose Green Action Committee (CGAC) for two tree planting projects during the March 25 City of Camrose regular council meeting.

After the initial approval by council in October 2023 for an overall tree initiative, members of the CGAC worked with City of Camrose Parks manager Richard Pattullo to develop two tree projects.

“I have spoken a couple of times to the lunch time Rotary Club about trees and they want to support us,” indicated CGAC chair Rob Hill. “Augustana students of Dr. Greg King are working with (City of Camrose Community Development general manager) Patricia MacQuarrie to develop guidelines for, as our climate changes, what trees are appropriate for us to be planting. Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) wants to work with us by providing us with money, logistics, organizational support and so on.”

The second project entails increased planting of boulevard and 10 new trees in parks each year, to be funded from $5,000 pledged money from the Battle River Watershed Alliance and potential additional funding from Cargill Corporate Office and other fundraising sources.

“Currently, the Parks Department has sufficient budget to replace some boulevard trees, but

“We think the opportunity to volunteer to plant trees will be a positive community building event,” noted Camrose Green Action Committee chair Rob Hill.

not all that need replacing,” said Hill. “This planting is typically done in the fall and the manager of Parks (Pattullo) stated that he has enough labour and equipment available in the fall to plant

utilize any BRWA and Cargill Corporate funding to increase the number of boulevard trees that the Parks Department is able to plant.”

Council comments

Councillor David Francoeur inquired as to whether or not poplars would be the best choice considering the amount of cotton fibre that comes off of them in the spring.

City of Camrose Community Services general manager Ryan Poole replied, “Poplars are a pretty broad term. I am guessing it is probably trembling aspen that they are getting or black poplar, but yes most poplars do produce a level of fuzz. The reason for picking those for this area (proposed planting sites project 1) is that they are native to this area and very hardy.”

Hill added that it is only the female poplar trees that lose the

Councillor Kevin Hycha raised a concern about whether planting that many trees would be the best use of these funds. “Couldn’t we look more towards the needs and wants of the City Parks Department instead? Make sure this is what we want and where we want to plant them.”

Hill replied that every project they proposed has been approved by City Parks Department.

Hycha said that he understood that, but was concerned that the City was planting 1,080 trees because they had them and the time and money. “I think we should think more strategically. Look at different trees and different areas, along the berms for sure. That would be my only concern.”

Hill indicated that the CGAC expects donations to cover the entire cost of the projects including planting and maintenance.

In addition to the donations received to fund the two projects, in November 2023, council approved a plan to apply for a $10,000 grant from Tree Canada.

Hill described a program that has been underway for quite a while in Leduc.

“They have an Arbor Day every year, when resident volunteers come together to plant trees. It looks very similar to what we are planning to do if we get the Tree Canada grant.”

The first project will be funded from a $10,000 donation by Cargill and will be used to plant an additional 1,080 small trees along the along the south part of Camrose Drive.

The budget proposed is as follows: $1,000 for site preparation (drilling of auger holes); $4,000 tree cost and $5,000 for watering and maintenance.

“According to Pattullo, these trees need watering during the first summer, but then, being native trees, will be able to fend for themselves and will need no further maintenance,” explained Hill. “It is quite likely that $5,000 is more than is needed, but weather is difficult to predict.”

The CGAC hopes to recruit volunteers from the community to plant the trees and predicts they will have no problem acquiring the 35 to 40 volunteers needed to complete the task.

A tree planting event is planned for the morning of June 22, weather permitting, in which case it will move to the afternoon of June 23.

“We think the opportunity to volunteer to plant trees will be a positive community building event,” said Hill.

and maintain about 30 additional trees beyond what is currently being done.”

Hill said that because the trees being planted on the boulevards and in the parks are much larger and therefore more expensive than the small poplars that would be planted along Camrose Drive, to purchase, plant and maintain the boulevard/park trees is estimated to cost $1,577 (based on information provided by the Parks Department).

“It could be less, depending on the type of tree and location,” said Hill noting that the more money CGAC raises the more trees the Parks Department can plant, up to a maximum of 30, along streets and in parks.

“The intent would be to fully

poplar cotton (fuzz).

Francoeur asked if the City is going to plant that many trees (1,080), is the poplar the recommended choice of the Parks Department for that area beside a roadway.

Poole replied that both himself (with a forestry background) and the City arborist felt poplars

“Y

Hill replied, “Keep in mind the cost, these trees, they are just tiny little things, but they cost $10 a tree. The trees that are going to be planted along boulevards and in parks cost $1,577 a tree, including the cost of maintenance.

“You get a lot of trees in the ground for a relatively small amount of money and these poplar trees don’t require much in the way of maintenance. Once they get established, you just leave them. In my opinion, it is the way to go along Camrose Drive, but it is not up to me, it is up to Parks.”

Poole added, “If we do get the Tree Canada grant, in the two locations along Camrose Drive the Enevold Quarter or the other location between 50th Street and the creek (east), poplar does make sense. They probably will be a lot more hardy than some of the more ornamental trees or spruce that we have planted in the past. We have a list in our office of probably 50 trees that suit different locations.”

As for the second project, Poole indicated that the CGAC projects and subsequent funding raised by CGAC will help to bolster the Parks Department tree program for replacing trees on boulevards and in parks that have been lost for a variety of reasons, with trees that are more suitable, as opposed to poplars, for those locations.

ou get a lot of trees in the ground for a relatively small amount of money and these poplar trees don’t require much in the way of maintenance,” said Hill.

are one good choice. “Not only are they hardy, but they will probably be the lowest maintenance for us (Parks Department). They will survive there the best.”

During the April 8 City of Camrose Committee of the Whole meeting, Hill updated City council reporting that since the March 26 presentation, $20,000 in funding (from Cargill and Cargill Corporate) has been secured and is now in City accounts, and that the trees ordered for Project 1 consist of 99 per cent male trees, resulting in next to no poplar cotton being dropped.

Police report on homelessness

During the April 22 City of Camrose Committee of the Whole meeting, Camrose Police Service Chief Dean LaGrange presented, for information, a report from a police perspective on homelessness in Camrose.

LaGrange indicated in his report that while Camrose is somewhat insulated from the rise in homelessness being experienced across North America, it is not immune. “The majority of homelessness and other societal issues occur in large urban centres where supports and services are readily accessible. That said, because Camrose is a small to mid-sized City, we too have issues that correlate to our population.”

For the purpose of the report to council, LaGrange focused on the statistics particular to the term “unsheltered”, which according to a definition provided by Camrose and District Family and Community Support Services (CDFCSS) means absolute homelessness–living on the streets or in places not intended for human habitation.

“Police officers are uniquely positioned to perhaps provide the most comprehensive and accurate data regarding true homelessness in Camrose,” explained LaGrange. “Responding to calls for service at all hours of the day and night, our officers know immediately if they are dealing with a local individual, someone who is new to town, or simply someone passing through. Our officers also know what friends or associates they (people police are dealing with) live with, as well as additional information that may be pertinent, such as probation/parole requirements on residency.”

The following data represents police calls for service, gleaned from the fourth quarter of 2023 (October/November/ December) and provides a snapshot of the “housing insecure” situation in Camrose.

The report noted the total number of calls responded to by CPS members under seven categories specific to “homelessness” including: suspicious person (26); encampment (22); well-being check (8); disturbance (25); sleeping (40); trespass (18); and criminal code (14); for a total of 153 calls for service.

Of this total, the most common call for service was for someone sleeping/ passed out in a public area, followed by suspicious person, disturbance and encampment.

These calls for service were further broken down into locations including: apartments (17); hotel (12); bank vestibules (19); Bill

Fowler Centre (3); parks (17); restaurants (4); stores (6); gas stations (2); churches (3); Augustana (1); Camrose Public Library (1); centres (Gemini, Stoney Creek, etc.) (4); The Open Doors (3); residential avenues (6); residential streets (12); public washrooms (22); schools (4); and other commercial businesses (17).

“The top locations for these calls to service were: public washrooms, bank vestibules, and other commercial businesses, like McDonalds.”

LaGrange further explained that the majority of these calls to service occurred in the early morning between 6 and 9 a.m. and peaked again between 3 and 5 p.m.

The individual persons dealt with by the police were charted to determine the number of times each was dealt with, for example one individual was dealt with on 43 separate occurrences while others were once or twice.

“Broadly speaking, this suggests anyone with double digit occurrences would be considered chronically homeless (unsheltered), which accounted for five people. All others would fit into other ‘housing insecure’ categories, as they were dealt with sporadically.”

Based on all of the factors included in the data, LaGrange said that Camrose has approximately five or six chronically homeless individuals within the City of Camrose.

“This information does not exclude or discount the fact that there are other degrees of ‘housing insecure’ people within the community,” said LaGrange, in a separate interview. “There are many people who re-

quire help in one way or another.”

The report indicated 27 “unknown” occurrences attributed to people passing through Camrose and occasionally individuals picked up by the RCMP (outside of Camrose) requesting the RCMP drop them off in Camrose, typically at a 24-hour business location.

“In conclusion, from a policing perspective, I wanted to share the data with you to enable you to have a broad perspective. The vast majority of people we deal with when it comes to these complaints is not criminal in nature,” said LaGrange, adding that even though some of the occurrences are trespassing, which is an offence, the police rarely charge them.

“We are dealing with people who have mental health issues, addictions and poverty. We have to remain compassionate to our most vulnerable citizens, but it has to be a measured and balanced approach. We have seen it in other communities where as soon as they provide increased services, the demand increases as well. It can rapidly become a place where people seek and go to because of those services.”

Mayor PJ Stasko asked if it is the intent of CPS to monitor this going forward.

LaGrange replied that CPS will be monitoring on a quarterly basis and report to council as such.

The report was accepted by council for information. For complete details on the report, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca, click through Your Government/ Agendas/2024/Committee of the Whole Council/ Committee of the Whole 22 April 2024.

ROSE BOWL WINNERS

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

The 2024 Camrose & District Music Festival Rose Bowl winners were Maizie and Fiona Rutledge for their performance in the Musical Theatre (Family Musical Theatre Duet–Non-Competitive Ages 12 and 16), of The Nightmare Before Christmas Medley by Danny Elfman. The trophy was presented by teacher Tova Olson, right.

Question:

What do you see as the biggest challenges/changes to the future of policing?

Answer:

After four classes of stitching up a storm, eight eager, young, and now well versed, sewers were recognized with a Certificate of Completion from the City of Camrose Recreation and Culture Department, in collaboration with the Battle River Quilters’ Guild, Youth Sewing Class. Pictured left to right, back row are Battle River Quilter’s Guild president Donnalee Thompson class participants Sydney Carlsen, Lea Read, Aleena Lapossie, Camryn Read and City of Camrose Community Services Recreation Program coordinator Jayda Calon. Front row left to right are class participants Molly Kambeitz, Nora Enright, Brynn Hough and Adah Stamp.

One of the biggest challenges we are currently dealing with, is the recruitment and retention of officers. The law enforcement environment is probably the most visibly scrutinized occupation I can think of. Some people just don’t want to deal with that additional stress. Going forward the biggest challenge will likely be Artificial Intelligence. Not knowing what it will eventually look like, makes it difficult to prepare for. It will likely assist law enforcement in certain scenarios, but it will also hinder us, as criminals will seek to exploit that technology too.

Lakes owns a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint Six car.

“This car came out of North Dakota. It was delivered to a dealership in Bismark and bought new. We bought it from an auction sale down there. It is called a Sprint 6 because it has the overhead cam, which is the way it came out of the factory,” said Barry.

The Tempest is an automobile that was produced by Pontiac from 1960 to 1970, and again from 1987 to 1991. The name Tempest is from Old French tempeste (French tempête), from Latin tempestas (storm), from tempus (time, weather).

“I went down there looking for an engine. I’m working on a GTO and I need a 389 engine, which you can’t find anywhere up here. Someone transplanted a 389 into this car (Tempest) and the original motor was sitting out front, so I bought the car and the extra engine. I had Strebs in Camrose redo the engine that was out of the vehicle. The 389 engine is now in my shop ready to go in the 1965 GTO,” explained Barry.

The Tempest was introduced as an entry-level compact in October 1960 at the Paris Auto Show for the 1961 model year. Built on GM’s first unibody chassis, its new Y-platform was shared with the Buick Spe-

FUN FACTS

The Tempest line offered an optional LeMans trim upgrade. The GTO was offered as a separate model line beginning in 1966. The Tempest name was retired after 1970, replaced by the T-37 as the base model, which in turn gave way to the LeMans name in 1972.

A major facelift was made on the 1966 Tempest that included more rounded bodylines with a Coke-bottle effect similar to the full-sized Pontiacs. New four-door pillarless hardtop sedans were added to the Tempest Custom line. Under the hood, the Chevy-derived 215 six was replaced by a new 230 cubic inch (3.8 L) Pontiac overhead cam six, the only such engine found in an American production car at that time. This was also the first American-built engine to use a belt to time the camshaft to the crankshaft rather than a chain. The base OHC had a one-barrel carburetor and was rated at 165 horsepower, designed for economy buyers. Optionally available as part of the Sprint option package on two-doors was a four-barrel, high-compression 207 horsepower version of the OHC six, marketed as an alternative to higher-priced European sport sedans, which had similar OHC engines. For those wanting V8 power, the 326 and 326 HO options continued with horsepower ratings of 250 and 285 hp, respectively and GTO engines stayed the same.

replaced all the tie rods, ball joints, etc. It has the stock rear end. I redid the transmission, interior, a bit of body work and repainted it to the original Fontaine Blue. One year later, this is what I have,” shared Barry.

While the Buick and Olds versions used a conventional drivetrain, the Pontiac had a unique, innovative design. The Tempest featured a front-engine/ rear-transaxle layout that very nearly resulted in an ideal 50/50 weight distribution, together with independent rear suspension for nimble handling (a swing axle design similar to the Chevy Corvair).

“The guy had started to restore the car. He had seats in it and a box of all of the chrome pieces. The whole package was good. The price I paid for it was reasonable for what he already had into it. Given that it had the engine I wanted, I thought why not buy it,” added Barry.

“The car goes down the road nice. It has enough

body and size that gives a real nice ride. I like the two-door coupe. I had a Pontiac before, but it was a full size four-door sedan. I like Pontiacs. I have quite a bit of money into this car and

about 1,500 worth of hours, so I’m going to keep it. The chrome is all original and better quality then you get now.”

The Tempest has a three-speed transmission.

Tire Rotation

All aboard the bike bus to school

far left, on April 22 during the inaugural run of the Bike Bus, a fun new way to get to school.

Some of the students of St. Patrick Catholic School (St. Pat’s) joined Camrose Green Action Committee member Heidi Bergstrom and husband, St. Pat’s teacher, Greg Doll, along with other community members, on a fun way to, not only celebrate Earth Day, on April 22, but get to school.

The fun albeit “chilly” bike ride was spurred on by an idea Heidi and Greg had to start a community-wide Bike Bus program.

“We decided to start the Bike Bus because we wanted to build a bigger bike community and do something that was good for the earth, our bodies and our minds,” said Heidi.

“Bike buses are happening around the world and looked like such a fun and wholesome idea that we decided to try it here. I’m part of an organization called ‘For Our Kids’, so I reached out to a bike bus organizer from Ottawa in that network and she gave me lots of good tips and guidance.”

Heidi explained that the bike bus program delivers a group of children to school, similar to a regular school bus, but instead of on a bus the children, accompanied by adults, ride their bikes together.

“The bus driver, an

adult on a bike, guides a carefully planned group ride along a predefined route,” noted Heidi adding that children, along with their parents, join the group on their own bikes as the pack of cyclists pass by.

In order to ensure the utmost safety, rules for a Safe Ride are provided to all participants and must be followed, including the following:

• experience and comfort riding a bicycle (a must);

• bicycles must be well maintained, and tuned up;

• younger less confident riders should be accompanied and monitored by a parent or guardian;

• cyclists must ride single file and with ample space between riders;

• all rules of the road and use of hand signals must be adhered to;

• cyclists must stay ahead of the “round up rider” at the back and behind the “bus driver” at the front;

• passing or rushing to be first is not permitted;

• be steady and predictable and avoid any unnecessary swerving and weaving;

• be sure to wear a helmet and have a lock to secure your bicycle; and

• always adhere to the instructions outlined by the bike bus leaders.

The group, donning

coats, mitts and hats to ward off the very chilly wind, consisted of approximately 14 riders of all ages, including some young ones that hitched a ride on board a “luxury” trailer.

“I’m so happy with how it went,” remarked Heidi. “It was cool to see how capable the students were and we had a great mix of teachers and community members as well. I didn’t stop smiling all morning.”

Heidi and Greg hope to continue the Bike Bus initiative on Fridays throughout May and June with a goal to get others “on cycle”.

“We encourage anybody from St Pat’s and Sparling to join us.”

The designated route begins at 7:55 a.m. at Grandview Crescent, snaking around the west end of the Camrose Golf Course, to 54 Avenue through Victoria Park area to 58 Street then along 53 Avenue finishing at St. Pat’s School. Anyone located beyond the designated route, wishing to join the cyclists on future rides, are welcome to make their way to somewhere on the route to join up.

ÉCKS students attend Honour Band event

École Charlie Killam School (ÉCKS) once again had a contingent of students perform in the annual Provincial Junior High School Honour Band concert held in Edmonton February 28 to March 1.

The Junior Honour Bands’ concert provides an advanced performance experience for those students who demonstrate excellence in leadership, musicality and engagement in their home band programs.

Members of the participating bands are recommended by school band directors, in the case of ÉCKS, music director Bob Bailey.

The students were given the opportunity to experience fun but intensive rehearsals culminating in a concert performance at the end of the incredible three-day experience.

Alongside other like-minded students with a passion for growing their interest and skills in music, the students were led by 2024 Honour Band guest director Katherine van Lare from Calgary.

This year’s ÉCKS participating students consisted of Emily Basque, Brynn Archibald, Connor Braim, Joelle Cairns, Jillian Howe and Liam Dostire.

Opportunities such as these contribute to the student’s overall learning experience and would not be possible if not for the support of school administration, faculty, staff and parents, and of course the hard work and dedication by the students themselves.

“The students worked hard in after school practices with me, as well as on their own practicing at home,” said Bailey.

Public safety statutes amendment ÉCKS wins junior high badminton regionals with 33 team points

Recently, I had the opportunity to address Bill 11, the Public Safety Statutes Amendment Act 2024 in the Legislature. This is a bill that I feel very passionately about.

There are two key elements. First is the creation of an independent agency police service that would be responsible for carrying out police-like functions currently performed by peace officers in the Alberta Sheriffs.

The second element paves the way for a provincial ankle bracelet monitoring program for violent and sexual offenders, as well as those on bail who pose a risk to public safety. As a parent, this is tremendously important to me.

To explain why it is so important, I must share a tragic story which leaves me with a heavy heart. In September 2021, Cody McConnell was put through something that no person should-ever be forced to bear. Upon arriving home from work, he realized that his fiancée, Mchale Busch, and son, Noah McConnell, were nowhere to be found.

He called friends and family to see if they knew anything and knocked on every door in his apartment complex. All to no avail. It was early the next morning when Mchale and Noah were found, and Cody’s panic and worry turned to grief and anger.

Noah was discovered abandoned in the dumpster outside the apartment and Mchale was found next door, in the apartment of their neighbour, Robert Major. How could a neighbour, the person you’d usually borrow a cup of sugar from when you need it for a recipe, have turned out to be capable of such an unthinkable crime? Robert was known to be dangerous. Upon his release from prison in 2017, the police issued a public warning that they suspected he would “commit another sexual offence against a female, including children, while in the community.”

Beyond this, he was on several court-ordered conditions when he moved from Edmonton to Hinton, where he would commit the unthinkable crime. There is no record of when he moved. How he moved into an apartment complex with women and children, near parks and schools, all without the residents of the building knowing, is unthinkable. Cody and Mchale had moved to Hinton from Camrose, so I have spoken to him about this many times.

In the aftermath of this tragedy, Cody started working together with Conservative MPs Gerald Soroka and Blaine Calkins to create the proposed federal Bill C-336, known as Noah’s Law. Noah, Mchale and Cody deserve justice. But what’s more, they deserve for their governments to act and ensure that no family ever must go through what Mchale and Noah did.

While I sincerely hope that the federal Government passes Noah’s Law, I am glad to say that through Bill 11, our United Conservative government is taking action to protect Albertans from violent and sexual offenders through an ankle bracelet electronic monitoring program. Bill 11, if passed, would ensure that Alberta courts would have one more tool to help keep Albertans safe.

Run like Ole series returns this May

The spring Run Like Ole XC Running Series is returning this May.

Get ready for four weeks of amazing trail running races right here in Camrose in memory of Ole Heie, who passed away unexpectedly at the age of 12. A lifelong member of the Camrose Ski Club, Ole was no stranger to the trails. His big smile, long blonde hair and encouraging personality became well known in the community.

This race series gives runners (new and experienced alike) the opportunity to run the very trails Ole’s feet have graced countless times throughout every season. Some of the courses have actually been designed by Ole himself for training and fun runs with his teammates.

Each race will feature a short course (approximately two to three kilometres) and a long course (four to eight km). Each

week a race will take place, highlighting a different section of Camrose’s amazing trail system. There will be a good mix of ski trails, single track, some hoodoos and beautiful views complete with awesome people and some amazing prizes to be won.

The series will run Monday nights in May starting at 6:30 p.m.

On May 6, it starts at Stoney Creek north, May 13 at Happy Valley, no race on May 20, on May 27 at Stoney Creek south and June 3 (instead of May 20) the Camrose Biathlon and Range.

If you register for all four races, it also includes a specially designed Run Like Ole t-shirt.

Age groupings will be male/female 12 and under open division; 17 and under; 18 to 29; 30 to 39; 40 to 49 and 50 plus.

They are also looking for volunteers to help run the event. Various

positions are open, including first aid, course marshals and clean up crew. Volunteers can head to https://volunteersignup. org/83YF4 for more information and to sign up.

You can enter a single race or any combination. Each race will be different and cover different terrain.

A portion of the proceeds will go to supporting the Ole Heie Legacy Foundation.

Ole, an aspiring 12-year-old elite athlete, died while training on July 10, 2021.

Beats for Mental Health supports community

Listening to Beats for Mental Health in Camrose can lift your spirits. This is the third year for the event that will be held on May 11 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Retro.

“This is an event to raise awareness about mental health, to share resources for help and to have a really great time with all ages of people in our town,” said organizer Emma Berger.

All people are welcome to enter for prizes. You just have to bring a Food Bank donation to get in on the fun.

“I can hardly believe this is the third year for the event. I can’t wait to bring this local live music to the stage,” she added.

“After COVID-19, we were lacking getting together and we needed to do something here. We wanted an all ages event because it seemed like there was a group that was being left out. We needed to reconnect and we don’t have a lot of opportunity to do that, or to do that for free. Everything is so expensive now, but this community has been really supportive of us,” shared Emma.

“My goal with this event is to have a safe, fun and healing space to gather, listen to music, to promote healthy mental health. It offers a safe coping mechanism for everyone in the community,” said Emma.

“Bringing awareness for mental health means a lot to me, especially this year as I recently lost one of my best friends and team members. She lost her struggle to mental health,” Emma explained.

“In the first two years of the event, it has shown how close of a family we can be and I’m grateful for that. The place was packed and it was tough to move around. I want to bring as much fun and wholesome goodness to the event again this year, as well as raise awareness and bring the community together. We need to help the children in the Camrose area,” said Emma.

“I had a horrible childhood, so I want to the help children have fun with others and get the help they need.”

This year, The Open Doors and Recovery College, Family Resource Centre are already assisting with the event.

“I like all kinds of music, but I have sung an inspirational rap song the first two years. I’m working

Elizabeth “Betty” Anne Johnson

May 13, 1951 ~ April 17, 2024

Elizabeth “Betty” Anne Johnson was the firstborn to Agnes Haydak on May 13, 1951, in Edmonton, Alberta.

Betty’s childhood was shared with her three siblings.

On the Eve of Christmas 1973, she married Michael Johnson in a small ceremony at a Courthouse in Edmonton with their parents as witness.

From 1975 to 1978, Betty began her journey into motherhood, lovingly raising three daughters. Her girls were graced with a mother who was always there with a big hug and kind words.

Betty was a dedicated mother, ensuring Michael could pursue his career in Education. Betty’s career in Camrose began at Byer’s Flour Mill, then moved on to her 34-year career working with the Federal and Provincial Government as an Assessor of Benefits. Throughout her career, she made lifelong friends whom she forever cherished and held in her heart.

At the age of 50, in the summer of 2001, Betty became the proud Nana of her grandson Austin.

Throughout Betty’s life, she enjoyed many pastimes including gardening, cooking, sewing, reading and bowling. Betty had an unwavering love for her friends, family and multitude of pets. She was a confidante to many with an ever-attentive ear, lending thoughtful responses and her witty sense of humour.

On April 17, 2024, at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose Alberta, Betty passed away at the age of 72. She is now at peace with her beloved dog Oscar, her loyal companion.

Left to lovingly cherish and remember Betty are her daughters Jennifer Johnson, Leslie Johnson (Jeff Berry) and Michelle Cartagena; along with grandson Austin Cartagena; siblings Albert (Candace) Rivet, Deborah (Ken) Miller and Bernie Rivet; and numerous other family and friends. She was predeceased by her mother Agnes Rivet.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, from the Burgar Memorial Chapel, 4817-51 Avenue, Camrose, officiated by Rev. Brian Hunter.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Betty’s memory may be made to Camrose and Area Animal Shelter Society. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com

on something different this year, I haven’t fully decided. I will give a speech and then I might play my guitar and sing. I want to get the children engaged and play musical chairs and play

other games,” she said. Other events may include colouring and painting rocks.

“I want to make this event a healing place where people can come and have

fun. I have five children, so it is important for them to mingle with others and meet people in a safe place. I want people to have more to do than just Jaywalkers’ and Big Valley Jamboree,”

Emma said. “I have a guy who is a one-man band coming to play. Aaron Dean from Carstairs is going to sing, so people are reaching out to me to make this a great event.”

Linda Louise Nikiforuk

January 2, 1951 ~ April 21, 2024

Linda was born to Ida and Elmer Nelson in Camrose, Alberta, in January 1951. She was the fifth of six children, brothers Lyle, Dale and Ross (deceased) and sisters Myrna and Jan. All Linda’s schooling years were done in Bawlf, where she met Larry Nikiforuk. They married in 1967 in Bawlf. They first lived in Big Valley after they married. Shortly after, they moved back to Bawlf, and eventually settled on the Noullett farm. They happily farmed there until 2019, when they moved into the town of Bawlf. They welcomed their son Lorne, and daughters Lori-Anne (deceased) and Tracy.

Linda was an active member in the community. She worked for many years in restaurants and then was the Bawlf librarian from 1990 to 1996. Most famously, she opened the Homestyle Bakery and Cafe in 1996, where she fed many patrons of Bawlf, who enjoyed her company and the fantastic homemade food. She always had time for her grandsons, making sure they got off to school with a great breakfast and card game. And just ask anyone about the pies! She joined the Lions Club and supported the library over the years.

In her retirement, she had a passion for her crafts and sewing. She continued cooking for anyone, making lots of buns, perogies and cabbage rolls, which everyone loved. She always had a passion for gardening, watering and fertilizing her plants so she could delight in the fruits of her labour. She took great pleasure spending time and watching the grandkids playing all their sports. The card games with friends and family were treasured by her. Linda, Larry and the car show crew travelled around, showing off their cool cars and making great memories. In the last few years, she faithfully visited Larry after he moved into Louise Jensen Care Centre.

Linda passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 21, 2024, surrounded by her loving family at the Daysland Hospital. The family is so very grateful for all the special care she received in Daysland.

Linda is survived by her husband Larry; daughter Tracy; son Lorne (Leslie); grandsons Tyler and Nathan; siblings Jan White, Myrna Ehbrecht, Lyle (Rose) Nelson and Dale (Phyllis) Nelson; in-laws Wayne (Theresa) Nikiforuk and Val Lomness; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is predeceased by her daughter Lori-Anne; parents Ida and Elmer Nelson; brother Ross Nelson, parents-in-law Steve and Anne Nikiforuk; and brothers in-law Wayne Lomness, Bob White, and Martin Ehbrecht.

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024, at the Bawlf Lutheran Church, with Rev. Garth WehrfritzHanson officiating.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Linda’s memory may be made to the Cross Cancer Institute or the Daysland Hospital Foundation.

“Dedicated service since 1906”

In loving memory of Roy Kenneth Bolding

who passed away on May 3, 2020

We miss you and always will. Though you are gone, We love you still. Love your family

Elizabeth (Beth) Congdon

It is with mixed emotions of sadness and joy that the family of Elizabeth (Beth) Congdon announce the passing of Beth from her earthly home to the place reserved for her in Heaven.

The fourth child of Joseph and Elizabeth Forster, Beth joined three older brothers Jim, Joseph, and Rupert on a farm near Killam, Alberta, on March 17, 1926.

On January 22, 1947, Beth married Albert Congdon at Hastings Coulee. They started their marriage together on a farm south of Heisler, where they enjoyed raising their family of seven children. Beth was predeceased by infant son Philip in 1955, and her husband of 55 years in 2002. She will be missed by daughters Marjorie (Erik Madsen), Mary (Douglas Minken), Edith (David Bustin), Ethel (Jim Oei), Josephine (Keith Pon), Lena (Dave White), and son Robert (Rhonda) Congdon. She was also dearly loved by eighteen grandchildren and their spouses, as well as twenty-four greatgrandchildren, many nieces, nephews and other family and friends.

Beth was known for her gracious and kind hospitality, and for years, served nine to ten people at her table morning, noon and night with snacks in between. Maintaining massive gardens and processing all the produce they yielded gave her a real sense of accomplishment.

In 2004, Beth moved to Okotoks, where she resided until her passing. She was a sweet smelling fragrance of life in Christ wherever she went (2 Corinthians 2:15). Humbly and kindly, she instilled a sense of morality and integrity into her family. She led by example and was a dedicated prayer warrior. There was a strong presence of the Lord on her life and she used her love of playing the piano to joyfully worship her Lord and Saviour. Beth left this world just as she lived – safe in the arms of Jesus.

A Celebration of her life was held at the Okotoks Evangelical Free Church, 28 Westland Road, Okotoks, on Saturday, April 13, 2024. A private family interment will be held at Fairview Cemetery, Hastings Coulee. If desired, in memory of Beth, please consider memorial contributions to Wycliffe Bible Translators of Canada or to a charity of your choice.

Art Society new president ‘walks the walk’

During the Camrose Arts Society (CAS) Annual General Meeting, Terry Morley was welcomed as the new president of the board. Terry moved back to Camrose retiring from a 40+ year career as a large animal veterinarian.

“I started out in Camrose in 1974 as a veterinarian, just in horses, working at Northland (Farms Edmonton),” said Terry. “I would commute to Camrose back and forth, but in the winter time, there wasn’t any racing and business was a little slow, so I was offered a six-month locum in Strathroy, Ontario. We were planning to come back here (Camrose) in April, but one thing led to another, and we ended up staying for 40 years.”

The plan to return to Camrose in April did in fact happen, just 40 years later.

“We said we would always come back here to retire,” smiled Terry.

Unfortunately in 2019, Terry’s retirement plans took a life-changing turn when he suffered a stroke.

“We were living in Hardisty at the time and I remember my wife calling the hospital (in Hardisty) saying she thought I was having a stroke. They (hospital personnel) said I needed to get to the hospital immediately.”

Terry’s son took him to the hospital in Hardisty, but because they didn’t have CAT SCAN, he was transported by ambulance to Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose.

“They trucked me right into the CAT SCAN and I was given a ‘clot buster’ shot. I had a little bit of use within a few minutes.”

Despite stopping the damage from being far more devastating, the stroke still had an enormous impact on Terry.

“FLori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Arts Society new president Terry Morley not only brings years of business experience to the table but as an amazing artist himself, a deep understanding of what art brings to a person’s life.

rom that I became interested in art,” said Terry of his experience with occupational therapy after suffering a stroke.

“At first, I couldn’t speak properly and couldn’t use my right hand and right side. But they have a wonderful rehabilitation program at St. Mary’s Hospital, they call it an early release program,” explained Terry. “A speech therapist, nurse or occupational therapist would come to my house every day.”

“I looked on the internet and saw what people were doing and thought to myself, ‘Why can’t I do that.’”

rose Arts Society in ensuring its continued growth in both visual presence and membership.

arts for the Spotlight Bistro and through the Bailey Theatre.

“We now have a dedicated space and eventually we are hoping to hire an administrative assistant. The CAS could then have office hours and people can come speak to us and inquire about the benefits of being a member of the Arts Society,” said Arts Society past president Stephanie Lane. “Before, we had an online entity, and now we are becoming more of a physical entity.”

The move to the Bailey Theatre is part of the Arts Society’s continued growth and gradual transition from the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre.

As Stephanie steps back from the role of president, her focus as a board member at large will be concentrated on developing events, soliciting sponsorship of different events and promoting memberships.

Back by popular demand, the CAS will once again be hosting the Art Walk Through the Gardens on July 13.

“We actually had two people tell us (after the 2023 Art Walk Through the Garden event) that they moved to Camrose based on the Art Walk Through the Gardens. They said that people were so welcoming and they got to see how beautiful Camrose is,” said Stephanie, adding that because the event is held in various locations throughout Camrose it gives attendees a greater view of the City as a whole.

“We are hoping for sponsorships this year so we may be able to have little prizes,” said Stephanie. “The call for artists for the Art Walk Through the Gardens will go out May 1 and exhibiting artists must be a member of the Camrose Arts Society. This year’s event will also feature some performing arts.

Plans are also underway for the Gala which the CAS hopes to host in November at the Bailey Theatre.

One of the most relevant functions of the Arts Society is to continually promote membership and specifically the incredible talent and subsequent work of members, by providing events where they can be showcased.

Through persistence on both his own part and that of the rehabilitation team, Terry eventually regained his speech and movement on his right side.

“They are responsible for my recovery. They made me read out loud and my speech improved and they had me write the same sentence out all the time until I got better.”

Another part of Terry’s rehabilitation program involved colouring, first in children’s colouring books then adult colouring books.

“From that, I became interested in art,” smiled Terry. “I looked on the internet and saw what people were doing and thought to myself, ‘Why can’t I do that.’”

Terry pursued his newfound interest in late 2021 in a few mediums, including watercolour and coloured pencil, settling on pastels. And an incredible talent flourished.

He focuses on realism in animals, particularly horses and people’s pets, scenery, boats and some very story-telling “cowboy” images, and recently has shown an interest in charcoals and graphite.

To further explore the art world, Terry, along with his wife, attended one of the Camrose Arts Society’s pop-up art exhibits and was impressed with what he saw so became a member.

“I remember my wife said to me, ‘Your work can come here.’”

He exhibited in the next Camrose Arts Society pop-up exhibition and last year’s “Starlight, Starbright–A Winter Showcase of

Since post COVID, membership has increased from 22 to 60, and the number of CAS events have been on a steady incline.

The CAS is planning to host more popups at various locations throughout the City and is always open to venues wishing to have art exhibited at their businesses, offices or locations.

One of the most exciting pieces of news for the Camrose Arts Society is a recent partnership with the Bailey Theatre which entails the Bailey providing CAS with a physical space on the lower level that will house the Arts Society office and a maker space, in exchange, the Arts Society will curate the

The CAS is also exploring a possible home studio tour, which will provide a map of participating artists’ (CAS members) homes for a self directed tour. Attendees would be given an opportunity to see first hand an artist at work with live painting demonstrations, not to mention experience what it is that inspires these amazing artists.

For more information on the Camrose Arts Society, visit the website at camroseartssociety.ca, connect with them on Facebook and Instagram, or contact Stephanie Lane at 780-224-3699. CAS will also be present at Jaywalkers’ Jamboree and the Canada Day Festivities sharing information about the CAS.

Why popular culture matters

With the end of a busy term approaching, I am looking forward to having some free time to pursue my less academic interests–binge watching a favourite show, reading popular summer mysteries and chick lit, and generally embracing popular culture. Despite what Danielle Smith and the UCP might think about the state of scholarly research, the pursuit of higher and more esoteric knowledge is essential to understanding the human condition, and there are few things as satisfying and pleasurable to research as popular culture. I am lucky because I get to study my popular culture passions and share them with students in my classes.

Popular culture, or low culture, is usually understood as the culture of the masses and is often viewed as highly commercialized and easily accessible. Contrast this with high culture, those refined cultural products held in great esteem by society and created for, and enjoyed by, the social elite. Consider the difference between going to a Rose City Roots show at the Bailey Theatre versus attending a performance of Beethoven at the symphony: is one better than the other?

Some may think that a Beethoven symphony is superior because it has survived the test of time or attracts a more sophisticated listener. However, a popular music concert could be equally enjoyable for many because it is a product of our current time and culture and speaks the musical language of the average person.

Ultimately, popular culture reflects the times we live in and what concerns us. We can probably all think of moments in popular culture that seemed to define an age–The Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, the first interracial kiss on Star Trek, John Lennon and Yoko Ono being interviewed during their bed-in for peace, Maude centering a two-part episode around abortion, the first prime time queer kiss on Will & Grace, or Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. We can also look at long-running franchises such as the James Bond films and see how the enemy has changed over time reflecting shifting social anxieties.

A deeper analysis of popular culture reveals that it can also be used to reinforce the status quo or challenge social norms and systems of power. Stuart Hall, a founder of British cultural studies, wrote that the process of creating cultural items (such as television or media) encodes the resulting products with various meanings and messages. Writers, producers, directors, financing and even the medium itself shape the messages.

For example, your favourite true crime podcast can reinforce ideas about morality and reinforce power structures. It can sensationalize crimes and perpetuate gender and racial stereotypes, but it can also challenge the way we view authority, speak for victims, and draw our attention to miscarriages of justice (maybe even correcting them).

I study crime shows because I am fascinated by the way a fairly traditional story form can both try to re-establish social order through the strong arm of the state and be used as a tool for exploring political corruption, immigration, violence against women and many more pressing social issues.

However, as Hall reminds us, we must recognize that the process by which the audience decodes cultural texts is imperfect and is influenced by the knowledge, history and experiences of audience members. The screenwriters of a summer romantic comedy, for example, might encode the film to convey one set of messages about relationships, but the viewer’s beliefs and values, as well as their relationship status, age, social class, or sexual orientation, will impact the way they decode and understand the film. Indeed, part of the appeal of popular culture is its malleability and how it can mean different things to different people.

So, don’t feel embarrassed about your guilty pleasures. While they may not all survive the test of time, they are certainly entertaining and have their own aesthetic value. And as products of our current time, they tell us much about who we are, making them worthy of our attention.

Szott named a Hockey Humanitarian Award finalist

of the Camrose area does more than just play hockey for one of the top hockey colleges in the United States.

She was named a finalist for the Hockey Humanitarian Award. After launching Merrimack College women’s hockey community service committee, she participated with other volunteer and fundraising opportunities in the Merrimack Valley.

Raice is a senior defenceman, who grew up playing her minor hockey in Camrose.

The Hockey Humanitarian Award, which is celebrating its 29th season, is presented annually to college hockey’s best citizen–student athlete who makes significant contributions, not only to her team, but also to the community through leadership in volunteerism.

This is the second consecutive season in which Raice was nominated for the award and first time named as a finalist.

She grew up on a farm learning that neighbours and family support each other.

Raice chose to attend Merrimack because she saw a closeness among the student body and staff that felt comfortable. She started off volunteering with groups and events on campus until she learned the area better. Then she started getting involved with projects that carried importance to her, like the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in honour of a grandpa who has the disease.

She has coordinated fundraisers to support local nonprofits, including first responders and the Ellie Fund, a local foundation that assists men and women suffering from breast cancer. Raice has coordinated volunteers for Merrimack’s Relay For Life, local girls’ hockey programs and afterschool programs at local elementary schools. Raice oversaw a number of events including a teddy bear

toss to benefit Toys for Tots; multiple Skating Strides games for the Ellie Fund and a team event for a school’s Relay for Life Walk. She also created a program dedicated to teaching and mentoring young girls to help them build confidence through ice skating and hockey.

Raice is an assistant captain for the Warriors hockey team and leads by example on and off the ice.

She plans to return to Merrimack for her fifth year of eligibility and continue studying sports management.

Wildcats earn silver medals

The Camrose U15 Wildcats girls’ hockey team earned a trip to Grande Prairie and provincials with a hardfought league semifinal against Red Deer that came down to a shootout.

This was followed by convincing 4-1 and 5-1 victories over Okotoks in the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League finals.

At Tier 2, female provincials were hosted by Grande Prairie and included teams from Calgary, Wetaskiwin, Lloydminster, Beaver Lodge and the host team.

“The Wildcats found their way to the finals with round robin wins over Wetaskiwin and Calgary before falling to Grande Prairie 3-2 in a fiercely contested round robin game,” said Eldon Banack of the Wildcats.

Camrose defeated Wetaskiwin 6-0 in the semifinal, setting up a rematch with

Grande Prairie in the gold medal game. As with the previous round robin game, the contest was very even with teams trading goals in the first and second periods.

Grande Prairie tallied a power play marker in the third period and the Camrose girls fought hard to tie the game, but were unable to beat the Grande Prairie goalie who was forced to make several saves in dying minutes and final seconds of the game to preserve the 2-1 score.

“Despite the gold medal setback, the coaches and players feel the season was a huge success with great player and team skill development and lasting friendships.

“The team would like to thank all the parents, friends and families who came out to support them during the season, and in particular the playoffs, where the atmosphere was fun and exciting for everyone.”

JIM AND GAIL KERR –would like to thank the many people who helped us move, starting with realtor Wally who showed us the house; family who brought boxes, packed and edited, kept us sane, moved some special items, and then unpacked at the new house; the professional movers who worked a long day and still were smiling. The auction was shortly after the move. Thank you to Ross, Fred, Kevin, plus our talented auctioneer and his hard-working wife for helping us prepare – at least 11 people helped set up, run the auction and clean up later. Thanks to the lovely cinnamon bun lady who kept us fed. Many people came to visit even though it was a cold day. Thank you to you all – you’re amazing people and your friendship is cherished!

THANK YOU – to the family, neighbours and the Camrose Fire Department, who helped us fight the fire at our farm on April 20. Your prompt and tireless action helped us save our farmstead. It was a powerful experience witnessing what a community could accomplish, coming together in a time of crisis. We’re so grateful. ~ Brian, Colleen and Sean Nelson

ÉCKS welcomes incoming Grade 6 students

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Pictured left to right are École Charlie Killam School principal Andrea Gutmann, Grade 5 student Quinn Stasko and Battle River School Division Mental Health Capacity Building program manager, Stacey McLennan on the first day of the Grade 5 integration initiative.

Making the transition from Grade 5 at elementary school to Grade 6 in middle school, where suddenly you are the junior students again, can be a bit daunting for many students. For that reason, École Charlie Killam (ÉCKS) developed a thoughtful program to make that transition as smooth and stress free as possible.

“ÉCKS is extending a warm welcome to Grade 5 students from Camrose elementary schools on a weekly basis, as part of our efforts to ensure a smooth transition to Grade 6 for the upcoming 2024-25 school year,” noted ÉCKS principal Andrea Gutmann. “This event has been coordinated in collaboration with our MHCB (Mental Health Capacity Building) and FSLW (Family School Liaison Worker) teams.”

During the four-week (Thursdays) event, students engage in a variety of activities, are given the opportunity to ask questions and a less-rushed tour of the

school, all leading up to the ÉCKS Open House to be held on May 23.

“The purpose of this event was to provide Grade 5 students with a positive introduction to our school building, easing any anxieties they may have about transitioning to middle school,” said Gutmann. “The aim was to give them a firsthand experience of what life in middle school is like.”

On April 18, the first day of the program, students gathered in the Common Area of ÉCKS to build Intention Bracelets. Each coloured bead represented the student’s intentions including: creative, love, joyful, adventurous, wise, forgiving, athletic, brave and friendship. The beads act as a reminder to the students of their intentions.

Gutmann and the rest of the organizers extended a big thank you to ÉCKS Grade 8 students who took the initiative to organize and oversee a game of Gaga Ball for the incoming Grade 6 students.

It's Garage Sale Weekend!

After a cer tain age , your body is like a garage sale –some stu look s old, some stu doesn' t work , and some stu you can' t even identify

Me : "How much for the angry lawn gnome?"

Garage Sale Lady : " That 's my husband."

Not all who wander are lost

Some are looking for garage sales.

The three stages of life :

1. Wanting stu .

2. Accumulating stu

3. Getting rid of stu

I'm having a garage sale , but no one has been coming, so in actuality, I'm just sitting on my lawn surrounded by my most pathetic possessions.

Having a garage sale is a great example of how, with many hours of planning and preparation, anybody can make $45.

Nothing haunt s you like the things you didn' t buy at a garage sale

I always double check that our garage door is close d at night. I don' t want someone stealing all the stu we've been meaning to get rid of for years

I don' t always find a good deal when I go to a garage sale , but when I do, I am sure to let ever ybody know abou t it … many times.

Never underestimate the power of a woman with a newspaper, a map, and a wallet full of loonies and toonies on a Saturday morning

Garage sales are just reformed hoarders enabling new hoarders

The only time a man should impress you with the size of his truck is when he shows up in it and says, "Get in! We are goin' garage salin' and we are gonna fill this baby up!"

Did you e ver consider that there is only a one letter di erence between a garage sale and a garbage sale?

When I hear that someone is moving, I get sad And then I ask if they will be having a garage sale. I hate it when you go to a garage sale and find ou t the y aren' t even selling their garage

Garage Sale sign: "Just married! All his stu must go!"

Literally ever y person on the planet whenever they see a garage sale sign: " Yeah, I' ve got time for that!"

Please don' t come to my garage sale if you've ever let me borrow something

Time Flies

Someone has ripped the fifth month out of my calendar. I'm so dismayed

I don' t know how we're five months in to a year that just started two weeks ago

It was just brought to my attention that 1970 and 2024 are as far apart as 1970 and 1916. I'm just gonna need a minute…

I feel like Willie Nelson has been the same age my entire life

I just want to apologize to the people I called old who were 50 when I was 18. I was wrong, I understand that now.

The other day, someone said "30 years ago". My mind went, "Ah yes , the ' 70s." But they actually meant 1994 and now I'm speechless

When I say " the other day ", it can be anytime between yesterday and my bir th

It 's so weird being the same age as old people.
