In the fifth anniversary of the reopening of the Bailey Theatre a celebration will include featuring old classic movies.

The western showcase goes back to a time in history when the west was a lawless expanse. Showing tales of love, loss and redemption.

Showcasing Hollywood’s take through the ages with

actors and actresses of film legend. These films might be cherished memories for some or brand new to others, but whatever your perspective everyone of them is a classic!

On Sunday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. is the re-make of “True Grit” (2010) a story picked up following the murder of a girl’s father who adds hired hand Tom Chaney to her side. The 14-year-old farm

Bailey Theatre brings back western classics girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest United States marshal she can find, a man with true grit, Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney.

They are joined by Texas

Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her grit tested.

High Noon

The classic High Noon is set for showing on Sunday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m.

On the day he gets married and hangs up his badge, lawman Will Kane is told that a man he sent to prison years before, Frank Miller, is returning on the noon train

to exact his revenge. Having initially decided to leave with his new spouse, Will decides he must go back and face Miller. However, when he seeks the help of the townspeople he has protected for so long, they turn their backs on him. It seems Kane may have to face Miller alone, as well as the rest of Miller’s gang, who are waiting for him at the station.

Both shows includes complimentary popcorn. Several other classics are lined up for 2017.

About Time circus

By Murray Green

It’s that time of year where all eyes are on Mr. Grinch.

About Time Productions showcase The Grinch Who Stole Christmas at the Bailey Theatre.

It is the dramatic reading of the classic Dr. Seuss Tale, spoken by children as they step into the story. This year, they will be having three shows, by donation only, on Dec. 4. The show is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. Show times are at 1, 3 and 5 p.m.

Christmas Circus A week later a new pro-

duction will hit the Bailey stage. This years About Time Productions Christmas dance and drama show is taking everyone under the big top.

The young dancers and actors take the stage as tigers, ring leaders, jugglers, fortune tellers and tightrope walkers as they take you through the wonders of a Christmas Circus.

Tickets are available online at www.baileytheatre. com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 5041-50 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780-672-5510.

Tips for holiday spirit

By Lori Larsen

For many the holiday season brings about wonderful feelings of seeing beautifully decorated homes and stores, hearing the sounds of familiar carols, anticipating the taste of seasonal delicacies and enjoying getting together with family and friends.

For some people, however, the thoughts of the season can be overwhelming. Here are a few ideas that may help to brighten spirits and will basically cost you nothing.

Volunteer. Instead of opening your wallet, open your heart and give of your time. The feeling is priceless.

Donate to a charity. Whether it be the food bank, toys for children drives, clothing or other items for charitable gift exchanges. The art of giving doesn’t have to cost you thousands of dollars.

Socialize. Invite neighbours and friends over for a holiday visit, converse with merchants and other service people, tweet, share or like not-for-profit media pages or posts, spreading the word builds awareness about causes, visit hospitals and long term care facilities (with permission), volunteer at schools (with

permission), join or begin a carolling group.

Go outside. Go for a walk and enjoy the beauty of freshly fallen snow, take in the splendor of brightly lit Christmas lights, shovel or more importantly help a neighbour shovel, take your children tobogganing or skating (always ensure lakes and ponds are safe)or build a snowman. Getting some fresh air and exercise is not only good for your physical health but your mental health as well.

Take some down time.

This time of year adds a lot of extra stress to people so it is vital to take a time out.

Turn on only the decorative lights and snuggle up with a warm blanket and beverage, sleep in on days off, watch one of the many classic holiday movies or television shows, spend time on a hobby.

For most children, the holiday season is a wonderful time, with tasty treats, vacation from school, and plenty of toys and gifts that seem to magically appear.

Of course, parents know it’s not magic – those gifts cost money! Not having to worry about that part of it is a gift found only in childhood, but young children do need to learn to appreciate the value of a dollar.

When children are ‘spoiled’ and never taught the value of money, parents have neglected to empower them with the ability to budget and prioritize resources.

A percentage of money children earn or receive as gifts this holiday season should be put aside for at least one of four pockets.

Pocket 1: College savings. The average graduate with student-loan debt has to pay back some $33,000, according to an analysis of government data published in Edvisors, a group of websites about planning and paying for college.

Teaching children the importance of this pocket from a young age is important. They’ll understand the concept and need for establishing a budget for their future betterment.

Pocket 2: Fun and games: Dream Pocket. Children need to know that the entertainment they consume on a regular basis – including TV, movies, internet and video games – isn’t free. Having them help pay for a video game or a vacation is a direct and concrete way for a child to experience the necessity of giving up something in order to gain something they’d like to have.

Pocket 3: God Pocket.

While the ability to save money is a virtue to a child’s future well-being, giving part of one’s savings to a higher purpose is a way of acting on their values. Giving donations to a church, charity or to buy a friend a treat teaches children that money isn’t the ultimate goal in life.

Pocket 4: Saving for the future. A pocket for general expenses is useful. It could be that a charitable effort takes off within the community, which could require travel. Or, she may accidentally break a window while playing catch with her friend. However the money may be needed for future use, it’s great to be able to supplement the other pockets with savings.

Celebrate downtown during the annual Midnight Madness event

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Downtown businesses will be donning decorative displays and a variety of gift ideas during Midnight Madness held on Nov. 25.

By Lori Larsen

If you are looking for a unique shopping experience, with that local small business flare and all the ambience of the Christmas season come to downtown Camrose.

On Friday, Nov. 25 Downtown Camrose will be having the annual Midnight Madness event starting at 4 p.m. and going until midnight. They invite everyone to come down and join in on the magic.

“What we (Downtown Camrose) are trying to do is give back to the community,” said Downtown Camrose manager Allan Walkey. “This is when the downtown businesses sales start to kick off and we are trying to bring the spirit of Christmas to the table. The economy has been tough, so there are all these different things we are trying to do to promote downtown merchants.

“That one day sale is very significant,” added Walkey.

According to Christine Dietz, secretary of the Downtown board and owner of Cloud 9 Day Spas and Boutique, this one day of business sees a 750 to 800 per cent increase over an average day. “We want to

hear people say ‘I got this in downtown Camrose.”

Besides bargains at local businesses Midnight Madness also offers a host of fun events for shoppers of all ages.

There will be sleigh rides provided by Foss Irwin from Wetaskiwin.

The rides will begin and end at Founders Square.

Santa will be dropping in on various downtown businesses and handing out goodies from 5 to 8 p.m.

To add to the ambience Christmas music will be played including the Edberg Mennonite Youth Choir consisting of 21 members carolling from 7 to 9:30 p.m. throughout the downtown area.

The Camrose Community Bus will be offering a onetime only free Downtown Midnight Madness run from 5 to 11 p.m. sponsored by the Rose City Handivan Society and Downtown Camrose.

For details on the this special run schedule including pick-up locations and downtown only drop-offs visit the Downtown Camrose website at downtowncamrose.com.

“A variety of stores will have cider and/or hot chocolate,” added Walkey.

“It is an exciting time and we realize Christmas

is going to be tough for a lot of families this year, so we want to try to make this the best Christmas that everybody has ever had.

“Small businesses are the backbone of any economy, especially in this community, and everybody should understand what these merchants contribute to this community on a very regular basis.”

Both Dietz and Walkey hope that residents take the time to come downtown not only during the fun Midnight Madness event, but all year round to appreciate all the products and services offered and take an opportunity to meet and visit with the owners and staff.

“Downtown businesses are very conscious of the world around them and as entrepreneurs they are willing to give back to the community because the community gives to them,” commented Walkey.

Dietz added, “When you come downtown we guarantee you a great social experience. You can talk to these people, the owners, one on one.”

Other downtown initiatives include Stamp Around which began on Nov. 15 and involves 55 businesses. Draws for $100 Downtown dollars will be made weekly beginning on Nov. 22 going until Dec. 22 ending with the grand prize draw of $1,500 Downtown Dollars.

Dec. 2 the Kinsmen will be holding their annual Radio Auction at The Brick in Camrose. All items will be displayed on site.

The One Less Trip involves Downtown Camrose, Camrose Chamber of Commerce, Duggan Mall merchants and Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAE) (representing 25 communities in the area) and is an initiative to encourage residents to shop local.

“It is a regional year round program intended to create awareness for consumers that we really do have it all here and they don’t need to go to Edmonton or places beyond to get products, goods or services it is available in your own town,” said Walkey.

Grateful Grannies to hold Christmas Market

MAINTENANCE • TIRES • BRAKES • OIL & FILTER • BATTERIES • ALIGNMENT

Submitted

This year the Grateful Grannies’ Christmas market will be held on Saturday, Nov. 26 from noon to 4 p.m., once again at the beautiful and historic Bailey Theatre. “We will keep many things the same,” said Janet Galenza, chair of the Christmas Market committee, “Including a wide variety of unique, high quality home-made crafts and baking. The baking has been very popular the last few years so we are hoping to expand our variety and selection.”

Members of the Grateful Grannies plus local artisans donate items for the sale. There will be many one-of-a kind local crafts, jewelry and accessories, household gifts, art, glassware, Christmas and specialty cards, quilted and knit or crocheted items, and of course the popular AIDS Angels. The Christmas market is a time for shopping, meeting friends, drinking hot apple cider and snacking on savory nibbles. Live music from the Wetaskiwin Strings definitely makes the experience memorable and is a wonderful addition to our market. This is one of the Grateful Grannies’ key fundraising initiatives with all proceeds from the sale going to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmother to Grandmother campaign.

The Grateful Grannies are comprised of over 100 grandmothers and grand “others” from Camrose and area who are committed to supporting the Stephen Lewis Foundations’ Grandmother to grandmother campaign. The Grateful Grannies are one of over 240 grandmother groups across Canada who raise funds to assist grandmothers in 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa as they care for a generation of orphaned grandchildren and others affected

by AIDS/HIV. The African grandmothers, despite their hardships, have become the heart and energy behind the response to the pandemic. The Stephen Lewis Foundation, now celebrating its’ 10th anniversary, works with community-level groups in Africa to provide a wide range of supports, including feeding programs, housing, education, and counselling. These grassroots organizations are driving the response to the AIDS pandemic in ways that are innovative, sophisticated and impactful. We all know

A cheerful crowd gathered to attend the Octoberfest dinner hosted by the Wetaskiwin-Camrose New Democrat Electoral District Assoc. (EDA) at the Moose Lodge in Wetaskiwin on Saturday, Oct. 29.

People enjoyed the delicious meal of sausage, sauerkraut, and roast beef, while socializing, and celebrating accomplishments.

Special guests MLA Edmonton-Whitemud Dr. Bob Turner, MLA Athabasca-Sturgeon-Redwater Colin Piquette, and MLA We t a s k i w i n - C a m r o s e Bruce Hinkley shared how their community service motivated them to enter politics and how rewarding it was to participate in making decisions to improve conditions.

Delegates who came fresh from attending the New Democrat Provincial Council held during the day in Edmonton shared exciting news about job creation strategies, climate change initiatives, and infrastructure projects underway.

The special guests primarily were interested in listening to attendees on what was happening in their communities. A small business owner commented that is was now easier to retain staff due to increases in the minimum wage.

Several people mentioned the cost savings they were receiving from changing to LED lighting, installing solar panels, and were pleased to hear about the solar power initiatives underway in Maskwacis, Wetaskiwin, and Camrose.

A volunteer with the Canadian Mental Health Association thanked the current government for the refreshing and welcome change in attitude towards the importance of mental health.

People shared their appreciation for the relaxed, open and positive atmosphere of the evening.

Honouree recognizes his own mentors

By Lori Larsen

Some people find a passion and dedicate a life of work to it and Robert “Bob” Prestage, a well known face and voice around these parts is no exception.

Recently Bob was honoured not only for his outstanding contributions to Alberta’s agriculture, but also for his continual devotion to youth and community organizations, by being inducted into the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame.

While humbled by the honour, Bob is quick to point out he wouldn’t be where he is without the help of many mentors in his life.

“Mentors have been very important in my life,” said Bob. “You can’t do everything yourself, you have to have mentors.”

Bob learned that lesson at an early age from his mother and father, Laura and Abraham Prestage, who were two very important and influential mentors in his life.

“My father had a business in downtown London, Ontario where he dealt with all kinds of farmers,” explained Bob. “At that time, in the late 30s during the war when there wasn’t an awful lot of money around, everything was on the barter system. Part of my job as a child was to come home from school and look after whatever was dropped off for my father’s business until my father came home.

“My father and mother were very instrumental and deserve a lot of credit for pounding two things into my head; one was work and the other one was integrity.”

Bob recognized two other mentors from his childhood.

Bill Stewart, a former Ontario Minister of Agriculture, was a high school board chairman who began the 4-H club at Bob’s high school. Bob was so successful at showing the Hereford calves that another customer of his father’s, Alex Edwards of Anoka Angus Farms, expressed an interest in Bob showing Angus steers.

As it turned out Bob ended up having the champion calf in two different 4-H clubs making them eligible for the Queen’s Guineas class at the Royal Winter Fair. A rule was put into affect a year later stating that a person could only belong to one 4-H beef club at any one time and remains to this day.

“They were two very highly respected mentors, but were the first to get me into trouble,” smiled Bob.

Margaret and Robert (Bob) Prestage stand together, as they have for over 58 years, at the evening honouring Bob and two other Albertans for being inducted into the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame.

READY TO MOVE HOMES Mentors continued to have a great deal of impact in Bob’s life.

His wife Margaret’s (of 58 years) mother and father were also responsible for positively shaping Bob’s and Margaret’s lives.

Besides having significant mentors in his life, Bob advised that success comes by surrounding oneself with smart people. “Never a day goes by that you don’t run into somebody that you can learn from.

“Whatever I’ve done has been in cooperation with and learning from other people. I never assume that whatever I am doing is the best; there is always room for improvement.”

And Bob’s career path is a perfect example. “I was working for the Ontario government (Ontario Department of Agriculture) in the livestock branch and for various reasons I decided I was going to leave.” It was during his time with the Ontario government that

Bob developed and encouraged the progeny testing of beef cattle.

In the process of applying for another position Bob used George Robson, manager of Shur-Gain, now Canada Packers Ltd, as a reference, but instead of giving Bob the reference George suggested Bob meet with the Byers from Byers Flour Mills in Camrose.

In November 1962, while completing some duties at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Bob met with the Byers and a decision was made for Bob to board a plane on the Saturday after completing his duties at the fair and head to Edmonton to learn about Camrose and the Byers Flour Mills.

“I came here (Camrose) and they spent a day showing me around.

I went home and we sta r t ed com mu n icat ing back and forth and I arrived in Camrose April 1, 1963.”

When Margaret and Bob arrived in Camrose Colleen (eldest daughter) was three-years-old and Wayne was one. While Bob was out and about working, Margaret was raising the children in a new and far-from-home place. “A couple of ladies took Margaret under their wings and made her feel at home.”

Bob continued with Byers until 1970. In 1971, he joined Canadian Beef Sires as manager. He was responsible for the progeny test programs of beef breeds which was operated as a joint project by Western Ontario Breeders, Eastern Breeders, United Breeders and Western Breeders.

Bob was the manager of Western Breeders in charge of semen distribution in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

“I was travelling all the time and we talked about moving to Calgary, but my family would not think of moving from Camrose.

“In 1974, I resigned from the artificial insemination work, but it took me until 1976 to be completely out of the business because I was so deeply involved.”

Bob spoke about having to spend six weeks in South America, leaving Margaret at home to not only tend to family and the farm, but also ensure a shipment of cattle was loaded onto a plane in

Edmonton in the middle of the night.

Bob’s family is a vital part of his success and their contributions do not go unnoticed. “Colleen used to pick rocks, feed, chase and sort cows and fix and build fences.

“Once I sent Wayne off to Seattle with four truckloads of cattle that were going to Japan. And our youngest daughter Kelly, was around the farm all the time helping out. I’d tell her to sit on the fence and watch the cows and make two lists. One list of the cows that were standing and another list of the cows that were jumping the cows that were standing.

It served two purposes. It assisted in artificial insemination and some home schooling on sex education,” he laughed. “Without my family none of this would be possible.”

The importance of having the support of family and mentors is something Bob has filtered into his personal life as well.

“I’ve been involved with youth all my life. When I first arrived in Camrose I got involved in 4-H judging.

As his children became involved in activities and sports, Bob took on a new role of mentorship as a referee for hockey, basketball, football and umpire for baseball.

Bob’s passion for sportsmanship, rules and fairness, his dedication to the game(s) and players and his booming voice made him proficient as an official.

Bob also noted several examples of young people whose lives may have otherwise been led down a not so positive path, had it not been for the support, guidance and mentoring of not only himself, but many other people in Camrose.

He recalled one situation where he had a young player removed from a hockey game and later contacted the player’s mother to let her know and give her some heart-felt advice on her son.

“She ended up sending him to her brother’s to live where he worked, went to school, did homework, ate and slept. When he turned 16 he headed out to the big city, got himself into the meat business and now is all over North America and the world. If you can help people, you should.

“No one does everything by themselves. You have to have family and people willing to stand by you.”

On a final note Bob said that beside his name on the plaque he received it should read, et al.

Juno award nominees Sultans of String will be sharing fun music with sounds from worldly music at the Forestburg Community Centre on Wednesday, Nov. 23 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

“We are excited to play for Forestburg music fans on a trip around the world, musically,” said Chris McKhool of the Sultans of String. “We also tell stories of Canada through our music.”

Sultans of String are an instrumental music group based in Toronto, Ontario, that combine Spanish flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms and French Manouche Gypsyjazz with folk music.

They have been known to play fiery violin dances with a rumba-flamenco guitar. Acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance.

“We like to tell stories through music about all of the places we have been to and people we meet.”

The band is led by McKhool who grew up in a Lebanese-Egyptian house bursting with music and diversity that included violin lessons.

“Alberta audiences are fantastic to play for. They are eager and open minded. To play music there is always a thrill for us.

Alberta audiences have fun and clap along with us and have a great time. It is nice to be able to bring new music to them,” he added.

When McKhool first heard guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s (both formerly with Jesse Cook) rumba rhythm, their musical synergy created Sultans of String’s signature sound of intimate and playful relationship between violin and guitar. From this rich foundation, the dynamic duo has grown featuring bassist Drew Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk), Cuban percussionist Chendy Leon (Parachute Club).

“We will play songs

from our new album Subcontinental Drift and it will be a CD launch party,” said McKhool.

Promoter David Wilkes (Emmylou Harris and Joan Baez) said “Over the decades, I’ve worked with numerous top 10 and number one Billboard artists. In all that time, I have not worked with composers more talented than McKhool and Laliberté from Sultans of String. Not only are they a superb writing team, they

are also amazing arrangers and musicians.”

Five albums include Yalla Yalla!, Move, Subcontinental Drift, Symphony! and Luna.

“One time we were in Alberta performing songs from Symphony! and it was with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, which was a whole different experience,” he said. Tickets are available at www.forestburgconcertseries.ca or by calling 780-385-4959.
