Dale Robert Stephenson
In loving memory of
Lyle Norman Bowie January 27, 1927 ~ December 13, 2007 Remember him with a smile today, He was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories Of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way he spoke And all the things he said. His strength, his stance, the way he walked, Remember these instead. The good advice he’d give us, His eyes that shone with laughter, So much of him will never die, But live on ever after. As we loved you, so we miss you, In our memory, you are near. Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear. Love, your family

Five strong women changed Alberta By Murray Green
Five Alberta women were featured by the Rotary Club of Camrose speaker series on Monday, Dec. 4 at the Camrose Resort Casino. Alberta’s Famous Five were petitioners in the groundbreaking Persons Case. Led by judge Emily Murphy, the group included Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney and Irene Parlby were involved in a case brought before the Supreme Court of Canada in 1927 and later decided by the Judicial Council of Britain’s Privy Council (1929), Canada’s highest court at the time. Together, the five women had many years of active work in various campaigns for women’s rights dating back to the 1880s and ‘90s and they enjoyed a national and, especially in the case of McClung, an international reputation among reformers. At the time of their victory, the media dubbed the group the Alberta Five. Over time, as the case took on a privileged position in Canadian women’s history, the group became popularly known as the Famous Five. They have come to represent an entire generation’s political activism, including an earlier, nationwide campaign for women’s suffrage. More recently, the case has attracted renewed controversy. Some see the Famous Five as a symbol of modernity, women’s political rebellion and progress, and human rights more generally. Still others have criticized some members of the group as racist and elitist and see their accomplishments as tarnished by associations with the eugenics movement. Reactions to the Famous Five have varied widely, but the significance of their contribution to the development of women’s rights in Canada was underscored in 2000 with the dedication of a bronze statue called Women Are Persons by Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson in Ottawa and Calgary (1999).

The next event is on Monday, Jan. 15 at 11:45 a.m. with Frank Farley, presented by Dr. Glen Hvenegaard at the Camrose Resort Casino.
