Camrose bids farewell to Wynn

By Lori Larsen

Well known supporter and contributor to Camrose and surrounding area, Max Wynn McLean passed away on July 10.

Wynn McLean

Wynn was the chief executive officer of the Camrose Regional Exhibition until he moved into the vice president of community relations with Travel Alberta in 2012. Wynn also served as a councillor on the City of Camrose council from October 2004 to October 2007.

A few of Wynn’s achievements with the CRE include being involved with Camrose Bull Congress from inception and being on the ground level of developing the casino, hotel and campground. He also served as a member of Travel Alberta’s Strategic

Tourism Marketing Council, playing a significant role in the development of Alberta’s Tourism framework, was founding director of Tourism Camrose and acted as the founding chair of the Growing Rural Tourism Conference.

A Celebration of Wynn’s amazing life will be held Tuesday, July 16 at 4 p.m., at the Camrose Regional Exhibition Grounds (CRE), 4250 Exhibition Drive.

The Camrose Booster family would like to extend their sincerest condolences to Wynn’s family and friends.

Chicka-dee-dee-dear

This just in.

Chickadees can tell when you’re upset.

Really! It’s science.

Since I was a little kid, I’ve loved hearing the sound of a chickadee–“chickadee-deedee!” It sounds so cheerful. I was quite old before I learned that the bird I called the “feebee bird” was the same kind of bird that said “chickadeedee-dee.” I liked hearing both sounds–“chickadee-dee-dee” and “fee-bee”–because it sounded like the chickadees were singing stories with their songs.

I imagined the bird was calling for a girl named “Phoebe” who kept not answering. I imagined stories about where Phoebe might have gone, and why, and how she would or would not be reunited with the bird who missed her so much…

As may be obvious, I was a kid who liked to imagine stories. That was much more fun than homework or chores. Okay, back to the science. Chickadees communicate, and not just with each other. You probably already know that the different sounds of chickadees and other birds communicate messages to others of their kind.

There’s more to it than that, based on just-released research at the University of Alberta. According to an item by Anna Junker in the July 11 Edmonton Journal, chickadees can detect levels of arousal (fear or excitement) from the sounds made by others. But not just other chickadees. Other species including humans.

The item quotes Jenna Congdon, a student researcher. “The idea is that some species can understand other species vocalizations. For example, a songbird is able to understand the call of distress of another songbird when they are in the presence of a predator, like an owl or a hawk. Or, for example, if your friend scared you and you screamed. Both of these are high-arousal vocalizations and being able to understand what that sounds like in different species can be very useful.”

Congdon said that chickadees were able to identify high arousal in chickadees, humans and giant pandas.

Pandas? Congdon says, “This is fascinating because a chickadee that has never come across a giant panda before is able to categorize high and low arousal vocalizations.”

One more thing I like about chickadees. You have to appreciate a tiny bird who chooses to stay with us for the winter. Tiny but tough, that’s what chickadees are. They can handle a Canadian winter.

Here’s a little-known fact–at least, I didn’t know it before. During the winter, chickadees can lower their body temperature by as much as 10 to 12 degrees to conserve energy. Not many birds can do this, but chickadees can. It’s called “torpor,” and, though I don’t lower my body temperature, I too have experienced torpor in the winter. You may ask, why is this relevant on a July day? Well, maybe it’s not all that relevant right this very moment. But think ahead.

Next winter, when you’re not enjoying the weather, you can look out at chickadees, possibly scarfing down seeds from your bird feeder. You can listen to chickadees sing songs to each other–or to the ever-missing Phoebe–and you can say, “Easy for you, Chickadee. You can lower your temperature to conserve energy. Not like us humans.”

And if you happen to be upset that day, the chickadee will know and it can sing you a song. Not only that, if a giant panda happens to wander by and be upset, the chickadee will know that too. I have every confidence that a chickadee’s song can cheer up a panda.

There. Doesn’t that bit of trivia uplift your day?

I thought so. Or perhaps it just verifies that I never did outgrow daydreaming about stories instead of doing homework or chores.

Gas prices

This is an open letter to retailers of gasoline in the City of Camrose: Frankly, as a Camrosian, I’m feeling as if I’m getting gouged. Communities in every direction of our wonderful community have been displaying significantly lower fuel prices than what’s been offered in our city for several weeks.

Serious price drops seemed to coincide with the demise of the carbon tax. But not at Camrose stations.

In the past few days, I have been through Wetask-

iwin, driven east to west on Highway 14, travelled to Peace River and also done a trek on Highway 21. I’ve seen prices as low as 91 cents per litre for regular fuel. Under $1 per litre seems to be the norm regardless of location. Here at home $108.9 seems to be where price collusion has landed. Not fair. I do everything possible to shop local, always. I get annoyed with people who won’t give local businesses a fair shot when buying, instead choosing online sources or Edmonton retailers, as a natural part

of their lives. However, fair, reasonable and competitive must also be considered. I don’t think local gas retailers are being any of these three things for consumers, at least at present.

Ultimately, greed so obvious will be a deciding factor in driving consumers to search elsewhere, not only for fuel, but other products and services too.

And that’s not only sad, but completely unavoidable.

Al Rostad, Camrose

Daley wins team cattle penning at Stampede

By Murray Green

Usually going to the Calgary Stampede is a lot of fun. But, it wasn’t all fun and games for cowboys Duane Daley of Camrose, Rocky Davis and his son Clinton Davis from Valleyview.

It came down to the wire, but the trio knew they had captured the win.

As soon as the final buzzer went on July 7, it was fun for the local Alberta-based 14 Class-Team Cattle Penning trio.

They competed against 175 teams in their division; the local cowboys captured the championship with a time of 133.6 overall over four rounds, earning a big reward with $26,790.

Cattle penning is a display of athleticism and skill as horse and rider square off against the herd

instincts of cattle. The fastpaced event gives a team of three riders on horseback 60 seconds to separate three specifically identified cattle from a herd of 30 and get them into a 20’ by 24’ pen at the opposite end of the arena.

Teamwork is the key to success, with all three riders working in harmony to cut out the correct cattle and drive them to the pen.

The Calgary Stampede Team Cattle Penning Championships features teams vying for championship buckles in four different classes, each determined by the skill and experience of the competitors. The win is super sweet for Daley, who said he’s been chasing this title for 27 years.

“I’ve never won Calgary before. This is the one

big show I haven’t won, so this is a great feeling and couldn’t be better with two of my best friends. We’ve been penning together for 20 years,” he said, looking at his championshipwinning belt buckle. “It’s one I’ve been chasing for 27 years, so it feels pretty dang good.” The packed crowd at the Nutrien Western Event Centre was behind the competitors from the start and it was a loud arena.

The second place team had an overall time of 137.83. The reserve win earned them $17,862 to split three ways.

The Calgary Stampede celebrates the people, the animals, the land, the traditions and the values that make up the unique spirit of the west.

Crossfire girls prepare for provincials

By Murray Green

The Camrose Crossfire U10 competitive team entered the Sedgewick tournament to receive tougher games as they prepare for the provincials in softball.

The team was in Sedgewick on June 22 and lost to the Sedgewick Steelers A team 9-4, lost to the Lloyd-

minster’s A team 14-7 and beat the Sedgewick Steelers B team 17-12.

“We played a few exhibition games against provincial teams to get ready for provincials,” said manager Melissa Riopel.

Camrose lost to Sherwood Park 17-13 on July 4, lost to Sylvan Lake 16-14 and 17-12 on July 6, and

Federal election on the horizon

By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

By the time this column appears in the paper, the new Conservative candidate for the electoral district of Battle River-Crowfoot will be nominated shortly.

After months of campaigning to gain the support of Conservative members, my replacement will continue to work hard to gain the confidence of all residents to win the Oct. 21 federal election.

On March 30, I announced my intention not to seek re-election after 19 years as your representative in Ottawa. After six election campaigns, in which I knocked on many, many doors and met with so people from every corner of this vast riding, I will be taking a back seat. While I may not be at every event and every door this time around, I will certainly be at some as I lend my support to what I believe will be your next Member of Parliament.

I am confident you will once again put your trust in your Conservative candidate. I am equally convinced that after four long years of Trudeau troubles, an Andrew Scheer led Conservative government will be elected. The scandal plagued Liberals continue to prove they are unfit to govern this country.

The Liberals’ latest humiliation is the resignation of the vice-chief of the defence staff, Lieutenant-General Paul Wynnyk. He took over for vice-admiral Mark Norman who was removed from his position after being charged with breach-of-trust in ship building contracts.

Wynnyk was originally set to retire this summer until he was asked by chief of the defence staff, Jonathan Vance, to stay on for an extra year. This offer appeared to be rescinded when Vance reportedly announced Norman would return to his old post after there was a stay in proceedings against him. The offer was then apparently back on the table when Norman resigned after receiving an undisclosed settlement from the government.

Norman served with honour and integrity until his reputation was ruined by Trudeau’s disgusting smear campaign against him. There remains overwhelming evidence that this charade and the ensuing personal and professional hardship Norman endured for over two years was due to political interference on the part of the Liberal government. Serious and credible questions remain about the extent of that political interference such as: Why did the Liberals go to such great lengths to withhold evidence from Norman’s defence team? How much are Canadian taxpayers on the hook for Trudeau’s settlement with Norman? Why did Trudeau agree to settle given his repeated statements that Norman would end up in court? If I was a cynic, I would say that the undisclosed settlement was all part of an expensive scheme to cover-up a huge political problem before the election.

Many questions now surround the resignation of Wynnyk, an accomplished and dedicated military officer, who appears to have been caught in the middle of Trudeau’s alleged political interference and incompetence. This meddling has not only destroyed the careers of two of our country’s most senior military officers, it has caused instability and turmoil within the Canadian Armed Forces. The brave men and women who serve our country deserve stability and respect while Canadians deserve to have a military they have confidence in to protect them and the sovereignty of this country. Canadians also deserve to have a government that is above political interference and not marred in scandal and humiliation.

Not only does it save up to 250 L of water per rainfall, but rain water is much better for your plants.

Library summer filled with fun

Camrose Public Library welcomes a group of creative, ambitious and eager summer employees to educate the community on the wonderful programs and services of the library.

Comprised of an extensive background of education and an even more impressive zest for their mission, this group of young adults are excited about working with Camrose and surrounding area, specifically the youth, in an active summer of events and programs centred around the natural environment.

Much of the work the group will be doing has been made possible through the Youth Environmental Engagement Grant (Alberta Emerald Foundation), which has helped with the purchase of materials, books, field guides and equipment such as butterfly nets.

“They are all teaching tools that will become a part of the library collection as well for future library users.”

Sarah and Jeannae focus a lot of their energy on an intergenerational program that involves the Book Bike attending a few seniors’

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Public Library executive director Robyn Gray, left hands a piece of birthday cake to City of Camrose councillor Agnes Hoveland during the library’s Birth“tea” party held on June 25.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose Public Library summer students are infusing their youthful ideas into a summer program for the entire community, promoting nature. Left to right, back row, are Liana Nand, Jeannae Matzner, Juanita Hohm and Elliot Harder. Front row seated from left, Jennifer McDevitt and Sarah Bean.

Liana Nand, Jeannae Matzner, Juanita Hohm, Elliot Harder, Jennifer McDevitt and Sarah Bean comprise the well-oiled summer program machine and by their own admissions, function as a tight-knit, diverse group feeding off each other’s ideas, knowledge and skill sets.

Second-year summer employee Liana Nand explains the theme for this summer’s programming. “The TD Reading Program theme this year is all things Nature, involving as much of the outdoors as we can. The crafts we are doing will be geared to getting participants (particularly children) outside as much as possible and the supplies we use are sticks, branches, leaves, anything from the natural surroundings.”

This year, the group is combining Books and Bikes, with permission from parents and or guardians, and are encouraging children to bring their own bikes and ride or walk along to different parks and green spaces to do activities.

“We want to show them that they don’t necessarily need organized activities.” The hope is to encourage the participants to discover the natural world and make or play with something they find in nature.

“One of the other programs we are offering at the library this summer as part of the All Ages Program is F“un”tastic Friday,” said Nand.

The program runs most Fridays and will include a representative from Mental Health offering tools and tips people can use to learn to cope with anxiety and stress.

While the initiative is geared towards children, parents are welcome to come and learn some of the tips and tricks. “It is intended to help children as they grow up to learn how to deal with stress now and later in life,” explained Nand.

Elliot said the Book Bike program will be wheeling around Camrose again this summer, attending different events and sharing a message of environmental literacy.

“We’re partnering with other organizations such as Battle River Watershed Alliance who have provided ideas for educational games and projects that we can use, such as plant pressing. We will just take the pressing boards along with us on outings to parks. The children can use things around them in nature and learn to interact with the natural world around them.

complexes in the community.

“We are using it as an outreach tool for all ages,” said Sarah. “The objective is to bridge the isolation gap for those residing in care homes. We go out a couple mornings a week and spend time, bring them crafts, books with a focus on environmental literacy.”

Jeannae added, “The Life Cycle is a good tool to help seniors or older adults to connect with nature. It is about getting seniors, or those with limited mobility, outside along with bridging relationship gaps.

“We can bring seniors or older adults and youth together through different activities. We have reading days where seniors can read to the youth and visa versa. It is a great way to practice literacy but also build better relationships between youth and seniors/older adults.

They have a lot they can learn from each other.”

On July 26, from 1 until 3 p.m. the library will be hosting a Reading With Royalty event.

“We have both a king and queen attending this year to read to children,” said Elliot. The event will include a drag workshop with items being supplied for children to dress up and just have fun.

The Life Cycle and Book Bike attend the Downtown Camrose Market, Thursdays from 4:30 until 7:30 p.m.

“We are also doing our own Reading Challenge this summer,” said Juanita. “We are challenging the community, specifically children, to read 15,000 minutes over the summer.

We want to encourage children to keep their reading up over the summer.”

Participants in the Reading Challenge (everyone and anyone reading anything and everything) are invited to bring in their recorded minutes, which will then be recorded on a chart at the library. “If we reach our goal our hopes are to have a big party at the end of the summer.”

It is apparent this group of library summer employees have done and continue to do, a lot of brainstorming and surfing the internet for ideas to bring to the table and develop creative, interesting and fun learning and reading opportunities for residents, of all ages.

Waste Water Treatment upgrades plans underway

By Lori Larsen

With the recent green light from the provincial government, and subsequent approval of City of Camrose Council, City administration is moving ahead with the next phase of the Waste Water Treatment Plant upgrade(WWTP) project.

City of Camrose director of engineering Jeremy Enarson provided an update on the progress of the WWTP project.

“In late 2008, administration began working with the province and consultants to determine what the City of Camrose will have to do in terms of the level of upgrade to the WWTP.” Presently, the City WWTP system uses aerated lagoons. Air is pumped into the lagoons to provide oxygen for the bugs that break down human waste, which Enarson noted has been in compliance with provincial regulations.

New federal regulations which came about in 2013 and the growth of the City, have spurred the need for upgrades to the level of treatment required by the City. “That is why we have been in discussion with the provincial government since 2009 to determine those new requirements.”

In 2014, City administration along with Associated Engineering (the contracted engineering company) developed an initial conceptual design that met both federal and provincial regulations. “We then moved into preliminary design in 2015 which we submitted to the province in late 2017. In 2018, we found out from the province that they had some concerns about the designs and were asking us for a more stringent level of treatment.”

Enarson explained that the system presently in place is not effective at treating ammonia and

nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen). “We knew we had to upgrade to treat for ammonia and nutrients, but were just not sure to what level, in order to meet the requirements of the province.”

After many discussions with the province, the City received confirmation from the province in late May this year, that they have now accepted the City’s proposal.

“The province is comfortable with what the City presented in the preliminary design, which meets both federal and provincial regulations and we have received approval to move into detailed design.”

The detailed design, tendering, construction and commissioning will take approximately three to three and a half years to complete.

“We are anticipating that the detail design will be complete by spring of 2020,” said Enarson, “Which consists of three main components: the pumping upgrades, main treatment upgrade and upgrades for post-treatment storage (prior to releasing back to environment).”

Enarson added that administration will be working closely with Associated Engineering in order to come up with a design that works specifically for the needs of Camrose.

After the design is created, Enarson predicts construction should begin in the summer of 2020 which he said, due to the magnitude of the project, should be about a two-year process.

Budget

Initial estimates of the entire project were projected to be approximately $40 million. “There has been a little bit of escalation over the years (since original estimation). Currently, we are looking at approximately $42.5 million.”

Had the province

insisted on a much higher level of treatment and subsequently rejected the City’s preliminary design, that estimate could have been conceptually higher, closer to $65 million.

Funding for the project will be done through a variety of sources.

“Knowing this project was coming, City Council along with administration, through residents’ utility rates, have been putting money away for this project, approximately $2 million annually for the past couple of years.”

The City has also applied for and received confirmation that the project is eligible for a provincial grant which would equate to about 25 per cent funding ($10 million).

“We recently applied for a different joint provincial/federal grant,” said Enarson.

If successful in obtaining the grant, it could fund the WWTP project with as much as 73 per cent funding (a combination of both the provincial and federal grants).

Enarson remarked that qualifying for the grant does require municipal contribution, which helps the government prioritize how the grants are allocated.

“We are aware of other municipalities that have recently applied for and received funding under this grant. But it is unknown whether we will be successful in getting that grant and it could be the better part of a year before we know,” said Enarson, noting that portions of the project will still proceed using a combination of funding sources including reserves, the initial provincial grant (which would be prorated should application for the federal grant be successful) and off site levies.

Folk trio Casati stops in Camrose

By Murray Green

Winnipeg folk trio Casati will be visiting Camrose on its tour through western Canada this month.

They are performing a concert at Fika Coffeehouse on Tuesday, July 23 in the cozy environment.

“This will be our first time in Camrose and we are looking forward to presenting our songs in the intimate space. We play a variety of instruments and sing in three-part harmony,” said Jesse Popeski, who provides the guitar and vocals with the band.

“Camrose is part of a tour of 11 shows in 11 days in Saskatchewan and Alberta. We seek out house concert type settings as the ideal venue,because it’s a great fit.”

Besides Jesse, Grace

Hrabi is on vocals and plays the ukulele. Quintin Bart plays double bass, hurdygurdy and adds vocals as well.

“The three of us have been playing together for over five years. We started out as a jazz trio, performing standards in fancy restaurants, before shifting to writing our own more personal folk music. We have been performing as Casati (named after an eccentric Italian artistic muse) for three years,” shared Jesse.

Casati released a CD in 2017 entitled There Will Be Days to go along with the debut called Afraid of Heights.

Like three hearts beating in perfect time, the music of Casati is a living

thing, constantly changing, evolving and reinventing itself.

The members search for stories waiting to be told and collaborate in bringing them to life: songs about love found or lost, cautionary tales of time slipping away, or even a whimsical tune about bicycle rides.

Casati began as The Grace Hrabi trio, arranging jazz standards and dabbling in songwriting on their release Afraid of Heights (2014). As the band made collaborating on original music their priority, Casati found its own voice as a unique blend of folk and jazz that strikes a balance between sincere and direct words supported by musical inventiveness.

Casati brings their

music to life with lush threepart harmonies and rich textures created with their instruments.

“Our music has become more folky over the past

couple years, with more emphasis on the three-part harmonies and the message and stories in our songs,” explained Jesse.

Explore the art of local artists throughout the summer

By Lori Larsen

Celebrating the 24th year of featuring the work of local artists, Camrose Artwalk will begin on July 22 displaying pieces at nine different venues throughout the City until Sept. 7, with the exception of the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, where pieces will be on display until Sept. 20.

“There are approximately 100 artists featured including a lot of new artists joining the event,” said City of Camrose arts director Jane

Cherry-Lemire, “The majority of whom are local.”

Cherry-Lemire emphasized the important role artwalks play in promoting and bringing exposure to emerging artists. “It is really important to do an artwalk. Unless an artist has an agent or is represented by a gallery or something, they tend to struggle to get their work out there.

“Artwalks like this, in partnership with the businesses that are willing to open up their walls, provide that opportunity for emerging

or nonprofessional artists to share their work.”

Cherry-Lemire reported that last year’s event saw record sales for artists, which validates the hard work and dedication they put into their pieces. One artist in particular sold approximately 10 pieces. “It was unbelievable. It is a boost for a lot of artists when they are first starting out.”

As for the businesses and organizations that graciously display the work of these artists, the benefits are threefold.

“It adds another dimension

to their business,” explained Cherry-Lemire. “It shows their support for the arts and may bring people into their business who have never been there before.”

She added that some of the venues have been involved in the Artwalk since the first event. “It is community building.”

The Artwalk event will be hosting two receptions beginning with a large group show held on July 24 from 2 until 4 p.m. at the Chuck McLean Art Centre (4809-52 Street).

“There will be four different art clubs coming together to do one show. It allows people to come in and see the artists work.”

The second reception will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Sept. 4 from 5 until 7 p.m.

To view a full list of the artists and venues displaying artwork, visit www.camrose artssociety.ca or you can pick up an Artwalk guide at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre.

Local choir sings in Ottawa

By Murray Green

The Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs are still excited about performing nationally after a trip to Ottawa.

Over the July long weekend, 12 members of the Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs travelled to Ottawa to participate in a Canada-wide choir festival called Unisong.

Unisong has been running for more than 20 years, and brings choirs from all over the country together to share their love of singing and their love of our nation by giving them the opportunity to perform together in the capital on Canada Day. “This year was a rebuilding year for Unisong, as they had broken all records for participation in 2017 (the 150th anniversary), and then had to cancel in 2018 due to scheduling conflicts. Camrose

and Area Children’s Choirs had originally intended to go in 2018, but then had to put off their plans until this season,” said Joy-Anne Murphy, of the local choirs.

“While the massed group was smaller this year, that led to a thrilling opportunity for the singers–the Unisong festival choir was invited to open the Parliament Hill Canada Day festivities by singing ‘God Save the Queen’ and ‘O Canada’ on stage with the National Arts Centre orchestra. It was a bright sunny (and hot) day, and our singers were great.

They all said the experience was amazing,” added Joy-Anne.

Another feature of Unisong is that all the participating choirs work together in intensive rehearsals to prepare and perform their own concert. “Our singers were privileged to work on

a beautiful Canadian repertoire with four other choirs, and perform with mixed voices (youth and adults) as well.

“Although we started the trip pretty tired after a series of cancelled or delayed flights on the first day, there were several highlights that helped keep us all energized and enthusiastic.”

They listed the beautiful music–all Canadian, some traditional and some newly composed–that got stuck in their heads; the gorgeous scenery, both in terms of natural beauty and historic or iconic buildings; and hearing colleagues from a Venezuelan choir from Calgary express how lucky and how proud they are to be in Ottawa on Canada Day. This really brought home for the singers how special a place Canada is, both for those of us lucky enough to have been born here, as well as for those whose lives have been changed for the better by becoming citizens; spontaneously bursting into song on the street at 11 p.m. on Canada Day. They ran into that choir group from Calgary while waiting for the crowds to thin after the fireworks, and stood around for about 15 minutes just singing; and realizing that they have a great group, and appreciating how special this opportunity was.

Camrose and area men hike the parade in high heels

By Lori Larsen

Some gallant and generous men of Camrose and area are once again putting a high-heeled foot forward for the annual Walk a Mile initiative during the Kick ‘n’ Country parade taking place on Thursday, Aug. 1.

The Walk a Mile is an international men’s march to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence.

Men participating in the march will don a “stylish” pair of higher heeled red pumps (shoes) and walk the parade route, a “feat” in itself in an effort to raise awareness of women and children impacted by the long-standing effects of domestic violence.

“Last year, we provided services to 184 women and 211 children,” noted Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear, “Supporting them to reach their goals of living a life free of violence and abuse.”

Participating walkers will also be collecting pledges and all donations will be used to support the Camrose Women’s Shelter.

“To date, the number of men brave enough to walk is down from last year. I have a goal of 60 men this year, and so far we are about halfway there. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we rely on the pledges men gather to meet 25 per cent of our annual fundraising goal.”

Not just a bed

On May 1, a national profile of Violence Against Womens’ (VAWs) shelters and transition houses was released providing various data on 290 VAWs and transition houses. Results of the data indicated that services are being provided in communities, such as Camrose, to a diverse group of women and children without comparable funding increases.

Despite the lack of funding and beds available, these shelters are manag-

ing to find solutions to keep women and children safe.

While many perceive these shelters to be just that, a place for women and children impacted by domestic violence to find refuge and to sleep safely at night, they are much more.

“Shelters provide much more than a bed,” said Rear. “In Camrose, we provide for everyone’s basic needs, we have a school for school-aged children to attend, we have a licensed daycare on sight, we pro-

unteers at the Shelter don’t stop at providing immediate care.

“We clean a room or unplug an overf lowing toilet. And that is on a not-so-busy day. Our staff have to juggle many complex situations and know a little bit about a lot of different topics, such as addictions, mental health, domestic violence, immigration resources and how to respond to a victim of sexual assault, to name a few,”

saw an increase to staffing costs from the government was in 2014. In 2015, shelters received an increase of 2.5 positions, but that just started the catchup for shelters with over 20 years of no changes to staffing models. Those positions are now maxed out in the number of clients they assist, and the need continues to grow. Shelters were never granted any increases with the change in employment standards, and those changes alone have had

vide outreach for women and children leaving the shelter and starting over, as well as for community members who don’t necessarily want to come to the shelter. We make arrangements for pets when someone is fleeing so that the pet is safe, we hold babies for moms while they are on the phone. We talk clients through some of the most stressful times of their lives, such as leaving relationships which are dangerous and unsafe.

Rear also noted that the gracious giving and duties of the staff and vol-

The shelters also provide counselling, childspecific programming, safety planning, parenting classes, outreach services, help finding housing, programs for perpetrators and prevention and awareness programming. They are far more than just a warm, safe bed.

“Our buildings are aging, and the need for our programs are growing,” explained Rear. “With an increase in population only comes an increase in need.

Unfortunately, the funding doesn’t follow the need.

significant impacts on our budgets.”

Despite fundraising efforts and generous donations from community business and individuals, lack of government funding has the potential to undermine the vital work these shelters do to ensure the protection and education of the women and children who are in dire need of the services.

“I am frustrated and worried about our future,” said Rear, with a tone of concern mixed with compassion.

“Frustrated because I know that we see

miracles and great work every day, but I also know we serve the most vulnerable population in Alberta– women and children. Worried, because I also know we aren’t high on the list of priorities for many. Shelters are not glamourous and they don’t make money, but they protect people and save lives.”

The mission of the Camrose Women’s Shelter is to assist individuals and families experiencing the effects of family violence to work towards a lifestyle free of abuse.

“I’ve been in this field for so long that I’ve started to see children of children go through the shelters.

We must start to address the long-standing impacts of domestic violence, and we need to start doing that now. This province allowed Second Stage Shelters to remain as pilot projects for over 20 years. They were never properly funded until 2015. In Camrose, we have a dream of opening a Second Stage Shelter, because we know that it decreases the rate of recidivism for returning to an unsafe situation by about 40 per cent. Emergency shelters are essential services saving hundreds of women’s lives everyday.”

If you or anyone you know is experiencing abuse, contact or encourage them to contact the Camrose Women’s Shelter for support and assistance by telephoning 780-672-1035 or toll free 1-877-672-1010 or emailing crisiswork@ camrosewomenshelter.org.

To register for the Walk A Mile campaign, telephone 780-679-4975 extension 8 or email admin@ camrosewomenshelter.org.

There is no donation too small and no gift goes unappreciated.

Every woman and child deserves an opportunity to live a safe and happy life.

Wildfire education

Steil found his favourite 1974 Corvette

By Murray Green

Ernie Steil of Camrose dreamed of owning a ’70s Corvette for a long time.

Now his dream has come true.

He bought a 1974 Corvette with a 454 engine and four speed transmission with a rare Z code.

“I grew up in Strome and the guy who owned the hotel had one and when I saw it, I knew that I wanted one. It was the last year of the 454 engine in them.

After that, they went with 350 engines. I like the extra power, the way it sounds and it has actually been bored out to a 468 with about 500 horsepower,” explained Ernie.

Ironically, he is known as slow and shiny. “I don’t spin the tires or drive fast.

I enjoy the ride to go get ice cream on Sundays,” he laughed. “I always wanted one and 1974 was the last year of the big block Corvettes. I bought it from a Corvette collector in Edmonton,” said Ernie.

“I always loved Corvettes. I had a newer one, a 2000, but I sold it because I wanted an older one. I’m from that era and this one brings back memories for me. I had a 1974 Chevy pick-up truck and I noticed the door, steering wheel, gauges and some other features are similar. It brings back your childhood,” Ernie recalled.

CORVETTE DRIVE

Submitted Ernie Steil stands by his choice of the 1974 Corvette to drive as his classic vehicle around Camrose. The Stingray came with a 454 engine and a four speed transmission.

“It took me a whole lifetime to get this car. You have mortgages, children to raise, college fees, so it takes a long time to be able to buy one. It is a lifetime effort. I was looking for a car and I found this Cor-

FUN FACTS

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was a sports car that was produced for the 1968 through 1982 model years. Engines and chassis components were mostly carried over from the previous generation, but the body and interior were new. All 1974 models featured a new cowl induction domed hood, which pulled air in through a rear hood intake into the engine compartment under full throttle, increasing power (but didn’t show up in the horsepower ratings).

For 1974, a new rear bumper system replaced the squared tail and chrome rear bumper blades introduced in 1968 with a trim, tapering urethane cover carrying an integral license plate holder and recesses for the trademark round taillights. Underneath sat a box-section aluminum impact bar on two Omark-bolt slider brackets similar to the system used in the nose which allowed the Corvette to pass federal five-mph impact tests at the rear as well as the front. The new rear design was more up-to-date than the ’60s shape that it replaced. For the 1974 model only, casting limitations mandated left and right bumper covers with a vertical center seam. The anti-theft alarm key activator was moved from the rear panel to the front left fender. Tailpipes were now turned down as the new bumper cover eliminated the tailpipe extensions.

vette around Christmas time. I was looking in my spare time around Christmas and I saw it, but I couldn’t get a hold of the guy because it was the holidays. I finally got hold of him on Dec. 28 and I raced up to Edmonton and bought it,” shared Ernie.

“It has totally been restored and it only has about 51,000 miles on it.

It’s like a brand new car. I bought it to go to car shows and to get an ice cream. I call it my ice cream car,” he added.

“When I first got it and had it towed to Camrose, it was snowing and it ended up with a rock chip on the hood. It’s fibreglass, so it was the size of a toonie. I had it fixed and it looks great now.”

Only 32 Corvettes were produced with the Z suspension, so it is a very rare zip code. “The guy I bought it from is a collector and he has about 30 Corvettes altogether. I took my son Dale with me to look at it and when I walked in to see

it my knees were buckling.

He told me to smarten up, you have to wheel and deal to get this car. I was in awe of all of the Corvettes,” Ernie said.

“The one thing that I want to do yet is add a facto-

ry stereo. They added a cassette machine and I want to have everything original. I found one, it is just a matter of putting it in. I want the numbers matching. I want to add factory side pipes as well.”

But you say, “I want to take it to The Auto Shoppe – I know Jackie Rae is the celebrity apprentice there, and she wouldn’t lead me astray!”

Hospice supports BRSD students Submitted

Battle River School Division has received a $3,000 gift from the Hospice Society of Camrose and District, which has been used to create “grief kits” that will support local students.

There are a total of six kits–three of which are appropriate for elementary school aged students and three whose contents are meant for older students.

The kits contain a variety of items from playing cards, puppets and building blocks to glitter, colouring books and puzzles.

Each kit is housed in a closed bin and is designed to be taken on a grab and go basis when a Battle River school experiences a significant event that causes grief for students, such as the death of a classmate or school staff member.

Members of the BRSD crisis support team can pick up the ready-to-go bins on their way out the door and be immediately prepared to sit with students who are in need of a way to work through their emotions. The items may seem simplistic, but they are all important in supporting

students to deal with their feelings of confusion and sadness.

“Play is the language that kids use to express their emotions,” according to Christie Badry, BRSD’s coordinator of division supports and services. “All of the items in these kits provide a focal point and a safe way for kids to be with others when they are struggling with their feelings.”

Andrea Dyck, who oversees the division’s Mental Health Capacity Building program, added, “Everything in these kits will help students in a time of grief. All of the items are age appropriate, of interest to kids and selected to specifically avoid any triggers of trauma.”

The school division is very grateful for both the donation and for the ongoing partnership with the Hospice Society and its program coordinator, Bill Harder.

“We wouldn’t have the ability to create these kits within our limited budgets,” Andrea explained.

“So we very much appreciate this generous and thoughtful gift.”

Islae Carol Johnson With a feeling of loss, we announce the passing of our mother, Islae Carol Johnson, predeceased by her husband Edwin Johnson and her partner in later years, Don Nelson.

She was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who set a high standard for taking life in hand and living it to the fullest. She was an amazing cook and seamstress, poet, artist and writer. For a period of time, while juggling farm responsibilities, four very active children and a propensity to be involved in community affairs, she also wrote a regular “Howdy Neighbour” column for the North Battleford News Optimist which shared both personal and neighbourly stories of farm life in rural Saskatchewn in the ’70s and early ’80s. After moving to North Battleford, she got into the real estate business and also authored three books, Keep the Downside Up, Mush On, and Silly Tilly, a children’s book she wrote for her youngest granddaughter to help keep up her spirits when she was deathly ill in the hospital. These books are gifts to the family and community that both present and future generations will get great benefit from for the humour, insights and history contained between the covers of each book.

The Johnson Farm was often the stopping spot for neighbours and friends where a cup of coffee and a piece of cake or homemade bread and the opportunity for a game of Whist or Kaiser was always guaranteed. More often than not, evenings would end with Mom on the piano and Dad’s voice ringing out in song — “Sail Along Silvery Moon” was a favourite.

Her love of curling inspired her to get other women involved in this sport and so she initiated a Women’s Valentine Bonspiel in Mayfair, Saskatchewan, which resulted in many farm women who had never held a curling broom in their hand before, out on the ice hollering, “Sweep, Sweep!” and “What’s an out-turn?”, amid gales of laughter. The men stayed inside minding the kitchen and hollering just as loud from the other side of the glass, “SWEEP! SWEEP!” – a great reversal from what was normal at that time.

Later in life, she also took up golfing and her competitive spirit meant she was soon right up to par with the menfolk! And speaking of competitive, it was not very often that Mom lost a card game - Lady Luck seemed always to be on her side. She was a fan of Kismet, a dice game to which she developed her own set of rules - needless to say - rules that could change depending on the roll of the dice!

Islae Johnson, Mom, Grannie and GG – you have enriched not just our lives, but the lives of many others. From Lynn, Sandra, Kurt and Tim and their husbands, children and grandchildren, all we can say is we are grateful and we know you can now forever rest in peace with our Lord God.

In loving memory of

Bill Stern who passed away on July 19, 2014 To hear your voice and see your smile To sit with you and talk awhile, To be together in the same old way Would be our greatest wish today.

So please God take a message To our precious husband and dad up above, Tell him we miss him terribly And give him all our love.

Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

Rybalka leads AJHL team to Russia

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks general manager isn’t finished with coaching just yet.

Boris Rybalka will be coaching the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s entry in the Junior Club World Cup in Russia.

The AJHL roster is composed of 22 returning AJHL players, who will compete in an eight-team international tournament from Aug. 23 to 31. Players and team staff members will travel to Moscow for a pre-tournament camp from Aug. 16 to 22 prior to the tournament.

Rybalka will be taking four Kodiaks players with him who made the roster.

Goaltender Griffin Bowerman and defencemen Matthew Davis, Robert Kincaid and Lane Brockhoff will have a familiar coach to look up to.

The rest of the players will be made up from the other teams in the AJHL.

Flagstaff Region to host Canadian Forces Snowbirds

By Murray Green

The Flagstaff Region and the Iron Creek Flying Club will be hosting the Canadian Forces Snowbirds on July 24 at the regional airport.

Local volunteers in the area and generous sponsors have allowed for a very rare experience for the Flagstaff Region. A last-minute opportunity in the Canadian Forces Snowbirds schedule allowed the jet team to fly to Flagstaff Regional Airport to perform their world-renowned high show at 7 p.m.

This will be the smallest, most rural airfield on the Snowbirds’ 60-stop annual tour. Due to the available runway length and services, the Snowbirds CT-114 Tutor aircraft will base from the Camrose Airport.

The pilots and technicians will visit for photos and autographs at an open house/meet and greet barbecue hosted by the Battle River 4-H Travel Exchange Group on Tuesday, July 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Flagstaff Regional Airport.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Move-in ready West Park home

By Lori Larsen

All you have to do is unpack and arrange your furniture in this wonderful West Park home that is easy on the budget.

Giving the home lovely curb appeal is a quaint front porch, the perfect place to sit and enjoy a morning beverage while soaking in the sun. Upon entering the home, you will be immediately impressed with all the natural light flooding in from the beautiful bay windows in the large living room.

Warm laminate wood floors flow from the living room into the spacious kitchen that offers plenty of cabinet space, a corner pantry

and a centre island. Entertaining guests is easy in the open concept where conversation can flow as you prepare food.

The kitchen also features a built-in desk area that would serve perfectly as a convenient in-home office and a dining area surrounded by windows. Just off the dining area is a garden door leading to large deck overlooking the completely landscaped and fenced backyard.

Completing the main level is a handy two-piece powder room.

The upper level will have you retreating to two bedrooms, a four-piece bathroom with heated

floors and the spacious master bedroom which features an extra deep closet with organizers and pocket door access to the main bathroom. Napping children can be away from the distraction and noise of the main floor.

The nearly finished basement has a family room with built-in shelves, a trendy threepiece bathroom and a flex room that could serve as an additional bedroom, children's playroom or hobby room. There is so much space for the growing family.

A back alley gives you access to a two-vehicle parking pad and storage shed.

Located close to west end shopping and an amazing play-

ground, this location is perfect for the family just starting out.

This move-in ready two-storey home, located at 4509-73A Street, is priced to fit your budget at $276,900. There will be an open house on Saturday, July 20 from 11 a.m until 1 p.m.
