FIRE PREVENTION WEEK in Alberta starts this Sunday, October 4.

The theme for this year’s campaign, which will unveil next week in full detail, is CHARGE Into Fire Safety. As rechargeable batteries become increasingly common in phones, laptops, power tools, e-bikes and other everyday devices, battery fires have become a growing concern for fire departments and trained personnel. Throughout Fire Prevention Week, Camrose Fire Department will be sharing information with residents on safe charging, use and storage practices. Tips include using manufacturer-approved chargers or approved replacements, charging on hard, flat surfaces, unplugging devices when fully charged, charging larger items such as e-bikes and power tools outside when possible, and recognizing warning signs to stop using batteries such as overheating, swelling, smoke, unusual odours or unusual sounds. See next week's Booster for more details.

Young crusader fights for local post office in Hay Lakes By Nadine Leming

The Hay Lakes Post Office delivers mail to just under 500 boxes and is a busy location for both parcel pickup and drop off, including Canada Post’s box-free Amazon return program. When the Village of Hay Lakes received notice from Canada Post about the potential closure of their local post office, a meeting was held on September 10, which had people asking what they are going to do if it closes. At the community meeting the town requested Canada Post delay making a decision until the new year. This put 14-year-old Zoey Irvine on a mission to save her local post office in Hay Lakes and has started a petition to keep it open. She said, “It’s a very important place for our community. So many people go there to connect, it’s not just a post office.” She continued, “It’s a place people bring their dogs and kids. This place is where seniors connect and get their mail.” The potential closure is likely prompted by the retirement of the Hay Lakes postmaster which occurred earlier this year. As a group office the Hay

Nadine Leming, Camrose Booster Zoey Irvine is crusading to save the Hay Lakes Post Office. This is the hub of the community keeping residents connected and it’s important to keep it open.

Lakes postmaster must provide the premises for the post office. Canada Post provides a minimal rent for use of the facility. Since the building is currently owned by a private individual the logistics of filling both the postmaster position and providing a facility (through purchasing the

building or providing an alternate location) is more involved and takes time. The acting postmaster commented, “Our community members would have to come to Camrose to get parcels that include important medications and that’s going to be difficult for some seniors.”

The better angels of our nature

“We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” Who said that? U.S. President Abraham Lincoln during his inaugural address in March 1861. He was trying

to stave off Civil War. The first Civil War shots were fired in April 1861. By the time the war ended, out of a population of 31 million, over 620,000 soldiers had died along with uncounted other adults and children. The U.S. was torn apart. Traces of that legacy are still visible today. *** So why is Abraham Lincoln’s fervent plea in 1861 relevant in Alberta Canada in 2026? Resentment and divisiveness are growing in our province and our country. I’m feeling those emotions too. Not healthy. I’m old enough to know that, however justified, resentment and “being against” are poisonous to the people feeling it. Resentment is also poisonous to families, organizations, communities, provinces and countries in which groups of resentful people live. Words and actions grounded in resentment never end happily. As both Jesus and Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” *** Months ago, I was one of about 456,000 people who responded to former Alberta Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk’s survey of Albertans. He submitted the results to the Alberta government, hoping MLAs would discuss it in the legislature. They did not. Lukaszuk is now doing a “Forever Canadian” tour of Alberta communities. I’ve also received my mail-in ballot for Alberta’s October 19 referendum. Last week I responded to all ten ballot questions and mailed back my responses. Both those acts seem a bit piddly, given the magnitude of what’s at stake. I’ve much appreciated retired Member of Parliament Arnold Malone’s two columns about Alberta’s referendum in the past two issues of The Camrose Booster. I also appreciated a letter to the Edmonton Journal from Robert (Bob) Wanner, retired Speaker of Alberta’s 29th Legislature. Both former politicians are critical of Alberta’s referendum. They see it as provincial legislators abdicating their responsibility to debate issues in public. *** So, what other options exist to deal with diversity of opinions? A friend who lives in the U.S. has told me about an organization called “Better Angels.” The website says, “Better Angels was born in response to the crisis of polarization— a growing crisis that hampers government, destroys trust, degrades public discussion, fosters isolation, and harms personal relationships.” It also says, “We bring Reds and Blues together to find common ground.” Better Angels offers “Principles for De-polarization.” Their principles for citizens are: • Try to understand the other side’s point of view, even if we don’t agree with it. • Engage those we disagree with. Seek common ground and ways to work together. • Support political ideas and leaders that bring us together rather than divide us. In “Red Blue” workshops hosted by Better Angels, an equal number of “Red” (Republican) and “Blue” (Democrat) participants gather together. They do not discuss their differences. They discuss what they think the other group thinks of them, and what they wish the other group would understand about them. Surprise and laughter are two results. My friend says in the new “climate” that’s created, the Reds and Blues have a different conversation. They may never agree, never like or trust each other, but they can have a conversation that gets somewhere useful. Our world, our country, our province, our communities, our personal lives have many challenges. Using processes that can help us work together – even with people we don’t like – could save the world. *** I’d love to hear from you. If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, email Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

THE FINE PRINT: The Camrose Booster welcomes letters that are of community interest, are fact based and represent logical attempts to make a constructive contribution to public discourse. To maintain a safe, professional and respectful publication, we will not publish letters that are highly political, attack public officials, organizations or community members personally or promote partisan viewpoints.

Please limit your letters to 400 words and sign with your first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only the name of the writer and city or town will be published. The views expressed in the letters are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Camrose Booster. We thank you for your interest in this feature and encourage your comments. Spatial Separation

For homeowners who have received a letter about spatial separation from the City, there has been much confusion about how to find out if they are compliant or not, what they are responsible to change, what they need to change, who pays for the changes, what can a contractor do, is there a City of Camrose code inspector who consults with homeowners, why is this an issue now but not during the building permit process, why were these issues not identified during the building code inspections while the home was being built, etc., etc. The City of Camrose home build permit process starts with an application to build. This includes a blueprint of the complete structure(s) including electrical and plumbing, a site drawing for location, and a professional survey (Real Property Report) to confirm foundation location to property lines. The homeowner pays thousands of dollars to the City of Camrose to approve this application and to inspect the home while it is being built. If during the build, the City inspector finds something is not code compliant, the builder is required to change it before continuing the rest of the build. I have been a Masonry Contractor for 40 years and a Registered Home Inspector for 13 years. As a Registered Home Inspector, I have received several phone calls from worried homeowners about how the City of Camrose letter regarding spatial separation is going to affect their home, home safety, home insurance, property value, and many other questions. I feel for these homeowners because there are differing interpretations of the codes from when they changed in 2006. Many of the homeowners are not the first owner of the house and do not have access to any permits or documents because the

City does not keep records longer than 10 years, from what I understand. In my opinion, the City of Camrose should be responsible for going to look at these affected homes to confirm if there is a code compliance issue. Homeowners were sent a letter about a potential problem but were not given appropriate guidance on confirming if there is an issue. On the City of Camrose website section about Building Separation, it advises homeowners to hire a contractor to consult about retrofits. A contractor is not a Code Inspector. A property line is only known from a survey report and contractors do not have access to the reports. Homeowners are concerned about potentially incurring many costs to find out if they are code compliant and then to remediate the issues and the possibility of losing insurance coverage in the future. Wayne Finley, Camrose Sovereignty

“Three times championship fastball pitch coach” Darlene Jacobson claims to know how competition works – “play by the rules.” Except the “game” she constructs has only one side – those petitioning for one of two positions in the upcoming referendum vote. Her position is against having any vote all, as though merely signing up a great number for support of one side gives a referendum victory. NOT at all a democratic vote, which is actual endorsement of one side OR the other open to all voters in order to make a CHOICE, one path forward OR the other. There was no vote at all in her “game,” which seems to be considered able to supplant the entire debate. Should we not prefer a REAL VOTE with options, an expression of the present thought of

the people even though not enforceable, in the upcoming October 19 vote? It is certainly useful to find out what IS the mood of Albertans. There be many who seem to side with her against democratic options, against the people being able to express a view opposing hers. That is unfortunate, especially when the voting she campaigns against is simply asking the question whether there should be more democracy in the form of a REAL vote that counts for (or against) the FREEDOM of Alberta. So let us joyfully “drag us back to the ballot box,” to actually vote and not ONE SIDE be ruled out as never to be tested against her one side position. Douglas Hendrickson, Bittern Lake Ten questions, one answer

There are ten questions on which Albertans will have to vote yes or no. All I hear about is how this is all about Alberta becoming our own nation. This is what the separatists want us to think. Only one question (ten) deals with whether we should have a referendum or not on separation. The rest of the questions have to do with our province taking back control from the Federal government on issues of immigration, making sure only Albertans vote and to get the jobs they need to live a successful life. I do encourage all people to vote yes on questions 1-9 and for Alberta to stay in Canada as a province. To the separatists, I say that we cannot afford to be a separate country. Your so-called facts are false and misleading. If you don’t like to be with Canada, well you guys are welcome to leave. This is just something for all of you to ponder. Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

Camrose Arts Council seek increase in funding

October 4–10, 2026 Many devices used in our daily lives – phones, tablets, laptops, tools, toys, e-bikes and scooters – run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which store a lot of energy in a small space. If they are damaged or charged the wrong way, they can overheat, start a fire or even explode. The way you charge your lithium-ion battery devices can make a difference in helping to prevent home fires. It comes down to using simple habits each time you plug in. ✸ Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer. ✸ Charge devices on a table, desk or other hard, flat surface. ✸ Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, is smoking or has a strange smell. ✸ Unplug your device when it is fully charged. ✸ Charge larger items like e-bikes, scooters and power tools outside and away from exits. ✸ When on a plane, keep your device where you can see it while charging.

The Camrose Arts Council has requested that City Council approve an increase in its annual funding for the grants that support the local arts and culture programming. The Arts Council has requested an increase from $30,000 to $40,000. Mike Ploner, chair of the Camrose Arts Council, shared that the council has seen increased demand for funding, with several strong applications competing for limited funds. During the 2026 spring intake, the council received $25,100 in grant requests. Eligible applications exceeded the funding available for distribution. The fall intake deadline is October 1. The Arts Council administers the city’s Arts and Culture Grant Program, which supports eligible arts and cultural initiatives in the community. Council will consider the funding request during the upcoming budget discussions.

Government offers fuel tax relief By Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

This week, United Conservatives announced fuel tax relief for Albertans, stronger career and financial education, more support for First Nations students, and help for Alberta businesses looking to expand abroad. These measures will ease the cost of living while creating opportunities for Albertans to build their future right here at home. Albertans will get a three-month break from provincial fuel taxes starting Oct. 1. Our government is suspending the full 13-cent-per-litre tax on gasoline and diesel until the end of the year to help offset higher fuel prices. That means savings of $7.80 on a 60-litre fill-up. This relief will also help businesses that rely on vehicles to make deliveries and serve customers. We’ll keep monitoring fuel prices at the pump to make sure the full tax savings are passed on to Albertans. Students should leave school with the skills they need to manage money and make informed career choices. That’s why United Conservatives are making changes to the Grade 10 career and life management curriculum that focuses on practical financial skills, including budgeting, saving, banking, responsible spending, and managing debt. Students taking this course will also explore careers and entrepreneurship pathways, including starting their own business. Teachers will test the draft curriculum this school year before province-wide implementation, planned for September 2028. Draft Grade 10 physical education and wellness and Grades 7 to 9 science curricula are also available for testing. We’ve committed $41 million this school year to support the broader rollout of this updated curriculum. First Nations students attending schools on reserve will receive more mental health support through a $4.9 million investment from the province. United Conservatives are providing direct funding to First Nations and their education authorities, allowing communities to choose services that best meet their needs. This funding will support mental health assessments, staff training, and connecting students with health services. It will also help schools manage rising costs and improve access to counsellors and wellness staff in rural and remote communities. Alberta businesses looking to expand internationally will benefit from a $1.1-million investment in Level Up. United Conservatives are partnering with Calgary Economic Development to deliver export training, coaching, and advice on specific markets to companies across Alberta. Selling to more international markets can reduce reliance on any single market when tariffs and trade disputes disrupt sales. Level Up builds on the Trade Accelerator Program, which has supported more than 660 Alberta companies since 2018. Those businesses have secured more than 200 trade deals across 50 international markets, showing how export support can help local businesses grow and find new customers. Keeping life affordable and creating opportunities can go hand in hand. By lowering fuel costs and investing in education and business growth, United Conservatives are helping build a stronger future for Alberta. We will continue working to keep Alberta a place where families can put down roots and build a secure future. Contact my office if you require my assistance.

This is Adeline & Dave. In 2025, they got $879 in profit shares, which they tucked into savings. In past years, they’ve put their share toward coach trips to Laughlin, Nevada, a quieter, smaller alternative to Las Vegas with river views and friendly people. It fits their style. They moved to Vision about eight years back for the same reason – a financial institution small enough that the staff know them by name. Turns out they like their vacation spots and their banks the same way: right-sized and friendly. What’s your share?

Nadine Leming, Camrose Booster Ralf and Liz Petruch are a retired Camrose couple who are on a mission to travel all around Alberta. Along the way they have met some fabulous people and dropped off pet blankets to animal shelters. By Nadine Leming

For local couple Ralf and Liz Petruch, the ultimate life story is traced in tire tracks, highlighted onto maps, and set against the beautiful horizon of Alberta. While the allure of globe-trotting captivates many people, for this couple, they have found paradise a lot closer to home, showing you don’t need a passport for an epic journey, just a full tank of gas and a passion for exploring Alberta. Inspired by the Go East of Edmonton Roadtrip Adventure Game, they have spent years travelling back roads across this beautiful province, visiting small communities along the way. This has taken them to every corner of Alberta. Liz said, “We’ve done all the roads in Alberta, so now we’re doing Alberta landmarks and roadside attractions.” She continued, “There are a lot of small attractions that no one ever knows about in small towns.” She talked about Evansburg as being ‘The Town of the Grouch’. It’s something they started many years ago where people are nominated every summer as the grouchiest person in town. The winner gets their name on a plaque. The town even has a grouch bench for people to enjoy. It’s all in fun, and is a town tradition that locals enjoy every year. That is just one example of great things around our province. Ralf shared the story about limos stuck into the ground near Lamont, and one about a Cadillac on the way to Barrhead also sticking out of the ground. He commented, “How would you even know about these things? You have to see it.”

During Covid, the couple decided they would start filling out more of the Alberta map as there wasn’t much else going on at the time. They always made a special point of staying at locally owned hotels. Ralf’s dad’s philosophy about a car trip was to drive one way to get there and drive another way to get back, and he adopted that way of thinking when on the road. He travelled a lot for work and when touring with others everyone enjoyed finding new treasures along the way. Over the years they have added philanthropy to their adventures having donated over 2,500 handmade pet blankets to animal rescues all across the province. The blankets are a passion project for Liz and her friend Gail Felt, who take any opportunity to create these beautiful blankets, many of them going with the pets transitioning into their fur-ever homes. These ladies take donations from local businesses like Bloom ‘n Deals, Family Thrift Shop and the Ramada Hotel in Camrose to create each pet blanket. Without the support of businesses like this, Liz and Gail can’t do what they do to support animal shelters. Liz added, “It really does make us feel good to be able to do this.” Along the way, they have made so many acquaintances. When asked about their travels, Liz said, “These trips are like a scavenger hunt, (finding nuggets here and there) that’s how we like to look at it.” The stories this couple can tell and the memories they have made are quite remarkable with more adventures to come.

Curbside recycling takes effect in October By Adan Shaikh

Camrose residents will soon be able to put recyclable materials out on the curb as the city launches curbside recycling October 12. The program, introduced through Alberta’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, will collect household packaging and paper every two weeks on the same day as garbage and compost collection. “We are going to be able to put things on curbside, it can be somewhere as long as it’s on the curb, visible, not obstructing traffic or pedestrians, but it can be slightly off the street edge. In terms of the current services they are all remaining in place, we have contracts until the end of 2027 and there are no changes,” said Amy Johnson, Senior Municipal Technologist at City of Camrose. Throughout Camrose, recyclables will now be collected biweekly on the same day as garbage pick up for each area of Camrose. Residents can use clear or blue bags to collect their recyclables and put them outside on a flat surface to be collected. Each bag should not weigh more than 20 kilograms, to allow for safe lifting by the person collecting the materials. Items accepted include paper and cardboard, plastics numbered 1 through 7, film plastics, metal and tin, glass and Styrofoam. Materials such as hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, clothing and textiles, food waste and garbage are not accepted through the curbside program. The new service is expected to divert recyclable materials that would otherwise be placed in household garbage and sent to landfill, while making recycling more convenient for residents. “This is a large amount of material, your black bin should reduce almost by 60 percent,” commented Amy. There is no additional cost to Camrose taxpayers. The program is funded through Alberta’s EPR system, which makes producers responsible for the recycling of the packaging and paper products they supply. “The cost of it has been included in provincial taxes for the past five years,” said Amy. The City’s Recycle

TAKE YOUR

RECYCLING

BEYOND THE BIN!

JOIN THE BEYOND-THE-BIN RECYCLING ROUNDUP TO RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRONICS, PAINT, USED OIL MATERIALS, AND HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FOR FREE! October 2, 2026 from 3:00pm - 7:00pm October 3, 2026 from 9:00am - 3:00pm The Recycling Roundup is an opportunity for residents to responsibly dispose of a variety of materials, ensuring they are handled safely and sustainably. Every household uses products in their home and garden that contain harmful chemicals. Any container that cautions about careful use of the product or disposal of the container should be included in the Beyond-The-Bin Recycling Roundup. Materials brought to the Roundup should be kept in their original containers. Broken or cracked containers should be placed inside leak-proof packages and labelled. Jars or cans of unidentified chemicals can also be disposed of—simply take them to the Roundup and tell a staff member that you are unsure of the contents. The following items will be accepted, however to reduce program costs, the preferred recycling locations are:

• •

Paint at the Landfill or Recycling Depot Used Oil, Containers, and Filters at the Landfill

Proudly supported by

Learn more about recycling these materials at albertarecycling.ca

780.672.4428 | engineer@camrose.ca | www.camrose.ca/waste

Depot will remain available for residents who prefer to drop off materials, including items not accepted through curbside collection. Amy shared the biggest progress is the allowance of styrofoam and aerosol containers as recyclables. “Cooking sprays, deodorants, hairsprays and most of your non-hazardous empty containers are recyclable, so those can go in your blue bags. Any of the hazardous items such as paint, cleaners, those items can still be brought to the hazardous waste roundup.” The Hazardous Waste Roundup days are October 2 and 3 at the old Public Works building

located at 4202-51 Avenue. Residents can bring electronics, paint, used oil materials and filters, and other household hazardous waste for free. Residents can find their collection schedule and a complete list of accepted and prohibited materials by visiting www.circularmaterials.ca/ camrose The program is not limited to single-family homes, multi-dwelling homes such as condos and apartments can also register for the curbside recycling by visiting www.circularmaterials.ca/ alberta-multi-family-dwelling-recycling/

Pexel Media Instead of bins, residents are asked to put their recyclables into blue or clear bags, about 3 feet away from other bins and objects.

Safety first and always Submitted

With school back in session, Camrose Police Service, first and foremost, reminds all road users that safety is a number one priority. An increasing presence of E-scooters has raised some concern, with not only the police, but citizens as well. The police recognize that many residents may not be aware of the distinction between personal and shared rental E-scooters. The following rules apply when it comes to the use of E-scooters. Personal E-Scooters

The rules are simple. In accordance with Alberta Traffic Safety Act, personally-owned electric

scooters are classified as prohibited miniature motor vehicles and are illegal to operate on public roads, sidewalks, or pathways. Shared/Rental E-Scooters

Commercial rental fleets (shared/rental) are permitted only where specific municipal pilot projects have received formal provincial exemptions under the Traffic Safety Act. In the case of shared/rental E-Scooters, the following Camrose Bylaws and rules apply.

Speed Limit

Capped at a maximum speed of 20 kilometres/hour (regulated automatically via the rental app). Helmets

Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended, though not legally mandated. Passenger Limit

Restricted to one person per e-scooter (no joint riding). Etiquette and Safety

Riders must be at least 16 years old.

Riders must yield the rightof-way to pedestrians, use a bell when passing and park upright in designated or safe areas without blocking foot or vehicle traffic.

Allowed only on sidewalks and trails; they are strictly not allowed on public roadways.

Students using a shared/ rental E-scooter, only (personallyowned E-scooters are not allowed

Age Limit

Where to Ride

School Property

off private property), need to be aware of school rules, which may differ from school to school, but generally may include: Not to be ridden when on school property, not to be stored inside the school and highly recommend the use of helmets when ridden (off school property.) In an effort to educate the public on the use of E-Scooters within Camrose, Camrose Police Service and Camrose Community Peace Officers will be actively interacting with E-scooter users to promote safety, explain the rules and encourage responsible riding, with a goal of education over enforcement.

STARS request an increase in funding By Adan Shaikh

STARS Air Ambulance has requested the City of Camrose to increase its financial support as the organization continues providing critical care across the region. Currently the City of Camrose contributes $1 per person to STARS. Glenda Farnden of STARS presented an update to council on September 21 Committee of the Whole Council meeting. Her presentation highlighted the organization’s impact in the Camrose region over the past five years. STARS has completed 202 missions connected to Camrose and Camrose County, including 165 critical inter-facility transfers from Camrose Hospital and six scene calls in Camrose. STARS provides specialized medical care and rapid transport for patients facing serious illness or injury, making its service particularly important in rural areas where access to advanced critical care can mean longer travel times. “With an increase in missions, the astronomical fuel rates, the increase in costs of medical supplies and everything that is associated with a mission, means that the need continues to increase. We continue to have the 41 percent of our government funding from the Alberta Government, which equates to $15.6 million per year, this also means that 59 percent must be fundraised each year,” said Farnden. She requested that the City consider increasing their funding from $19,882 in 2026 to $26,000 in 2027, with proposed increases reaching $40,000 by 2029. The request would amount to $2 per resident by 2029. Council will consider the request further during upcoming budget deliberations.

St. Mary’s Hospital hosts event for advance health planning By Adan Shaikh

The St. Mary’s Hospital Community Board is bringing residents an important resource for advance care planning and having their healthcare wishes documented. The Green Sleeve and Personal Directive seminar is set for Saturday, October 3, at 10 a.m. at the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) Kinsmen Hall. The event will include coffee, an open forum and a two-person moderated panel featuring Dr. Ella Rokosh of Covenant Health and Kirstyn Rau, a lawyer with Olson Rau + Mohr Law Office. Gail Cunningham, chair of the St. Mary’s Hospital Community Board, will moderate the session. The focus will be on understanding what a Green Sleeve and personal directive are, why they matter and how they can help ensure a person’s wishes are known when they are unable to communicate them. A Green Sleeve is a readily identifiable document that can accompany a person’s health-care records and provide information to health-care providers about their goals of care. Having one prepared can help families and medical teams understand a person’s wishes during a medical crisis or serious illness. A Personal Directive allows an individual to put their wishes for personal

and healthcare decisions in writing and designate someone to make certain decisions on their behalf if they lose the capacity to make them. “The big thing is that this goes home with you, should the paramedics respond to an event at your home, they can see the green sleeve. This is especially helpful for people who don’t want certain interventions done such as resuscitation or intubation.” explained Dr. Louis Minders, Facility Medical Director for St. Mary’s Hospital. “It is ensuring that people’s wishes are adequately documented. In addition to it being available on hand, it is also in our electronic medical record, which is a provincial medical record called Connect Care.” Dr. Minders shared that the designation is reassessed every time a patient is admitted to ensure each individual’s goals of care are up to date and ready for any situations where they may not be able to provide, or communicate those wishes themselves. Dr. Minders encourages individuals 18 and older to attend the event and complete the documents. This is not just something to think about just for the elderly, but something everyone at every age should consider completing. “We are going to have Dr. Ella Rokosh, who is

the Covenant Health’s Associate Chief Medical Officer for Acute Care in Edmonton, and an ICU specialist. In her role in ICU she sees a lot of patients in critical situations and is skilled in having discussions around goals of care with patients and their families. She also has experience in real world outcomes of patients involved in critical medical events,” shared Dr. Minders. The Community Board held a similar educational event last year, drawing more than 150 people from the community. While the event provided residents with information about advance care planning, feedback received afterward highlighted a desire for people to be able to take the next step and actually complete the documents. That feedback helped shape this year’s two-part approach. “When you are a family in that situation and you have to fill all of those documents out, it can be overwhelming and you don’t really have the time to think about what you want to do,” explained Dr. Gail Cunningham, who with the help from Dr. Minders’ team is organizing the event. She shared that the seminar is intended to give attendees the information they need to prepare for a second event on Saturday, October 17.

Threads of Legacy in Camrose By Nadine Leming

The sanctuary at Messiah Lutheran Church will be transforming into a lively music venue. They won’t be hosting a touring act, but to showcase the incredible local musical talent that took root not only at Messiah, but in Camrose. This special community recital will bring together local voices and instrumentalists for one evening that will be as much about community as it will be about the music. The intimate setting at the church will kick off a weekend of festivities celebrating Messiah Lutheran’s 125th anniversary. Two of the prominent artists at this performance will be Dr. Joel Harder playing piano and Rachel Coltvet Kristenson on violin. The two have wanted to collaborate together for some time as they both grew up together here in Camrose as pastor’s kids. Both have made music their professions with Joel working as a pianist and teaching at the Manhattan School of Music. Joy Berg is very involved in organizing this recital, said, “We are so pleased he’s coming back.” Rachel’s musical path has led her to be the concert master for the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra while also freelancing around the Winnipeg region. Joy remarked, “The two of them are focusing on the music that has been written for piano and violin through the eras of primarily female composers.” This evening is being called Threads of Legacy. It will highlight the legacy that is inherited through family and friends, particularly through women, but also through male supporters. There is also the long history of Messiah’s musical legacy that has

led them both to be able to pursue musical careers. Joy commented, “Having them come back for this event is very significant for us at Messiah.” Joy spoke about the concert saying, “A big part of this recital is that it has been supported by a grant from the City of Camrose, because of the connection to the community.” She continued, “Messiah’s (music programs) have enhanced and lifted up musicians in the community.” The evening will include the premiere of Threads of Legacy that

has been composed specifically for this recital by Kristin Flores and she is hoping that it will contribute to the continuing legacy of music at Messiah. She grew up through the Messiah’s String program and has gone on to complete her doctorate in composition making music her career as well. The Threads of Legacy recital celebrating women composers will be held October 9 at 7 p.m. The community is invited to attend this free celebration.

Stuckless takes apart four trucks to build one By Adan Shaikh

Bruce Stuckless owns a 1947 Dodge Half Ton, a modified beauty put together by combining four different trucks together. “We started on it in 2017, it was many trucks to make one truck. I had as many as four different trucks in my yard at one point and picked the best pieces to make this,” Bruce said. Bruce was able to mix and match parts because many of the components used on Fargo and Dodge trucks from 1941 through 1947 were similar enough to be interchangeable. The result retains the look of a 1947 Fargo, but underneath the vintage body are several changes designed to make it more practical on modern roads. One of the first things Bruce tackled was the engine. The Fargo originally came with a Dodge flathead engine, but Bruce wanted something with more power for highway driving. “It originally had a Dodge flathead engine but it was too slow on the highway so I switched it out for a V6 and now it has power steering and power

brakes, before it was all standard. That’s why the steering wheel is so big

FUN FACTS According to collector websites, Dodge called these trucks “Job-Rated” because they were specifically built with varying frames, clutches, brakes, and axles tailored to match precise hauling capacities. The manual transmissions lacked synchronizers, meaning drivers had to double-clutch between gears and completely stop before shifting into first or downshifting. In Canada, Chrysler sold the exact same truck under the Fargo name exclusively through Chrysler-Plymouth dealerships, allowing those dealers to offer a truck line without competing directly with traditional Dodge-dealer networks. But Stuckless’ truck carries the Dodge marque.

because it gives you more mechanical advantage,” he explained. The replacement V6 came from a Chevrolet S10 truck, which also provided the foundation for the Fargo’s frame. Rather than retaining the original chassis, Bruce built the Fargo on an S10 frame, giving the vintage pickup a more modern mechanical setup. The truck now has a five-speed standard transmission and the additional gearing is one of the most noticeable improvements when it comes to actually driving the truck. The entire truck has also been powder-coated, giving the body a smooth finished surface while maintaining the classic appearance of the Fargo. Behind the truck, Bruce added his own touch with wood for the bed. “These are some old boards I bought off the Hutterites and I sanded them and fit them myself.” Another impressive touch are the wheels of the

truck, the chrome “baby moon” hubcaps paired with the white wall tires mounted on red rims, make the simple black colour of the truck stand out more. The combination of original-era styling and newer mechanical com-

ponents means the Fargo can still turn heads like a nearly 80-year-old pickup, while being considerably more reliable on the road today. The balance and the comfort are what Bruce enjoys about his truck.

Referendum, what the questions really mean By Adan Shaikh

Albertans will face 10 referendum questions on October 19 covering immigration, access to provincial programs, voting rules, constitutional changes and Alberta’s relationship with Ottawa. In recent weeks, several community members have asked The Camrose Booster an important question: What would a yes or no vote actually mean? Here is a breakdown of what is being asked and what a vote would do: Questions 1 to 9 are yes-or-no questions. Question 10 offers two choices. Elections Alberta says the results of all 10 questions are non-binding. Question 1: Should Alberta seek greater control over immigration? What it asks: Whether Alberta should seek increased control over immigration for the purposes of decreasing immigration to more sustainable levels. It would support the Alberta government pursuing those objectives. It would not, by itself, change immigration numbers or federal immigration laws. Question 2: Who should qualify for provincially funded programs? What it asks: Whether Alberta should introduce a law making only Canadian citizens, permanent residents and individuals with an Albertaapproved immigration status eligible for provincially funded programs, such as health care, education and other social services. It would support the government pursuing that change through legislation. The question does not identify every program that would be affected or specify which immigration statuses would qualify. Those details would have to be addressed through legislation and policy. Question 3: Should some non-permanent residents wait 12 months for social support? What it asks: Whether Alberta should introduce a law requiring people with non-permanent legal immigration status to reside in Alberta for at least 12 months before qualifying for any provincially funded social support programs. The question states that Canadian citizens and permanent residents would continue to qualify for social support programs as they do now. It would support the government pursuing a 12-month

residency requirement for people covered by the question. Question 4: Should some non-permanent residents pay a health-care and education fee? What it asks: Whether Alberta should charge a reasonable fee or premium to people with non-permanent immigration status living in Alberta for their use, and their family’s use, of the health-care and education systems. The question states that Canadian citizens and permanent residents would continue to qualify for public health care and education as they do now. A yes vote would support the government pursuing a fee or premium. The question does not specify the amount, how it would be calculated or who would be charged. Question 5: Should voters have to provide proof of citizenship? What it asks: Whether Alberta should introduce a law requiring people to provide proof of Canadian citizenship, such as a passport, birth certificate or citizenship card, to vote in an Alberta provincial election. Canadian citizenship is already a requirement to vote in Alberta. The proposed change concerns the documentation voters would have to provide. Elections Alberta currently requires voters to prove their name and physical address. More than 50 forms of identification are accepted, including documents that do not necessarily prove citizenship. Question 6: Should provinces select provincial court justices? What it asks: Whether Alberta should work with other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution so provincial governments, rather than the federal government, select the justices appointed to provincial King’s Bench and Appeal courts. Question 7: Should the federal Senate be abolished? What it asks: Whether Alberta should work with other willing provinces to amend the Canadian Constitution to abolish the federal Senate. It would support Alberta pursuing that constitutional change with other willing provinces. A yes vote would not itself abolish the Senate. Any constitutional change would have to follow the applicable constitutional amendment process.

Question 8: Should provinces be able to opt out of some federal programs while keeping the funding? What it asks: Whether the Constitution should be amended to allow provinces to opt out of federal programs that intrude on provincial jurisdiction, such as health care, education and social services, without losing associated federal funding for use in their social programs. It would support Alberta pursuing that constitutional change with other willing provinces. Question 9: Should provincial laws have priority over conflicting federal laws in certain areas? What it asks: Whether Alberta should work with other willing prov-

inces to amend the Canadian Constitution to better protect provincial rights from federal interference by giving provincial laws dealing with provincial or shared areas of constitutional jurisdiction priority over federal laws when the laws conflict. Question 10: Should Alberta remain in Canada or begin the process toward a future separation referendum? What it asks: Voters have two choices: Alberta should remain a province of Canada, or the Alberta government should begin the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a future binding provincial referendum on whether Alberta should separate from Canada.

Choosing the second option would direct the Alberta government to begin that legal process. It would not itself separate Alberta from Canada and would not itself be a binding referendum on separation, but would serve as a gateway to another referendum. Elections Alberta identifies Question 10 as a choice question rather than a yes-or-no question, and its result is nonbinding. Elections Alberta says it does not interpret the referendum questions. Questions about what each question means should be directed to the Alberta government or the local MLA.

On Track Charity Golf Classic Nadine Leming, Camrose Booster

On September 18, On Track Kuntz & Company hosted their first annual Charity Golf Classic in support of the Kidney Foundation – Northern Alberta & the Territories Branch. This is an organization near and dear to On Track. The tournament included four opportunities for a holes in one to win prizes. The event raised over $40,000 on behalf of the Kidney Foundation.

Forever in our Hearts

Mary Ethel Goldring

The first annual Charity Golf Classic in support of the Kidney Foundation – Northern Alberta & the Territories Branch saw a good turnout of golfers to participate in the inaugural tournament. The event included a Scotty Cameron Putting Contest with the winner receiving a Scotty putter.

Ethel will be truly missed by all who knew her. She had a wonderful personality and a smile that everyone will remember. She passed away on September 11, 2026, after 92 years of life, retaining all her great wit and charm. Ethel was one of 17 siblings, born in a small community in Saskatchewan. In her late teens, she married Hugh (Sky) David Woodley Goldring and moved to Victoria, where he enlisted in the army. They had four boys Rodney, Edward, Daniel, Micheal; and one daughter Cynthia. Ethel lived a good life with many great adventures and challenges she conquered – one was her battle with cancer; she rang the bell and lived another 10 years. Her strength and courage will be remembered by her friends and all her numerous family members. At Ethel’s request, there will be no funeral service. Ethel will be laid to rest with her late husband Sergeant Hugh Goldring in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Cochrane, Alberta.

Deaths The On Track Charity Golf Classic in support of the Kidney Foundation – Northern Alberta & the Territories Branch was very successful raising funds and awareness about kidney disease and the good work of the Kidney Foundation. The day had so many fun activities for both golfers and non-golfers alike.

The Charity Golf Classic hosted an event inside an event with the Kidney Lawn Bowling Olympics. This fun event was aimed towards people that wanted to participate in fundraising, but weren’t necessarily interested in golfing.

Tom Ovelson of Grande Prairie, formerly of Camrose, passed away on September 15, at 49 years of age. David Wipf of the Camrose/Bawlf area, passed away at September 19, at 83 years of age. Edward “Ed” Woelk of Tofield, passed away on September 21, at 91 years of age. Marilyne Jean Nahajowich of Bawlf, passed away on September 25, at 80 years of age.

January 17, 1957 ~ September 14, 2026 Guy was born on January 17, 1957, in New Norway, Alberta, and later moved to Camrose with his family. At 18, he began his career as a geriatric psychiatry nursing attendant at Rosehaven Care Centre. He would dedicate 41 of the next 51 years there.

Guy was a tattoo artist and handyman, as well as an avid hobbyist, enjoying riding motorcycles, barbecuing, smoking meat, fishing, travelling, metal detecting, playing guitar and writing songs.

We get no choice. If we love, we grieve.”

“

– THOMAS LYNCH

There are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without but have to let go. – AUTHOR UNKNOWN

When someone close to us passes, the confusion and mixed emotions we feel can often become overwhelming. However, it is important to recognize that there is no standard way of experiencing loss and no right way to grieve.

Grief can manifest itself in a range of emotions: Shock, anger, guilt, despair, numbness. It is important to be kind to yourself and give yourself the time and care that you need to transition through the grieving process.

Coping with grief: Recognize your emotions, lean on support from family and friends, talk about it, get additional help if needed, and give yourself time. For information regarding available grief resources, contact our office.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! 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.

Mathematical Musings

My son's math teacher called him average. How mean. I'll do algebra. I'll even do trigonometry. But geometry is where I draw the line. My toddler is practicing her counting by dropping chocolate chips in my mouth. Now this is the kind of math I can get on board with.

FAMILY THRIFT SHOP DONATION

Nadine Leming, Camrose Booster On September 23, the Family Thrift Shop presented a $1,000 cheque to the St. Carlo Acutis Catholic High School’s Student Leadership program. From left, program members Alexis Sheets, Reese Callicott, Ella Sztym and Sarah Terlesky. Presenting the cheque was Linda Butler-Dunn, Family Thrift Shop board member.

Hey kids – here's a little piece of advice. Forget popularity, forget good looks, forget how rich they are – marry the person who loves math. Because in 20 years, when your child comes home crying about calculus, that sweet nerd will be your everlovin' superhero. You should never judge a book by its cover. I had a math book once and the people on the outside looked like they were having a really good time. The inside of the book was definitely not a good time. Kid: "Can you help me with a math problem?" Me: "Sure!" Kid: [starts reading the problem] Me: "No." Everyone hates math until their paycheque looks funny, then all of a sudden they know calculus. My child's math problem says that Susan bought five loaves of bread that cost 25¢ each and six pounds of beef that cost $1.25 per pound and the only information I need is where does Susan do her grocery shopping? Here's to all the people who can't do an algebra problem to save their life, but at least they always know how to use the correct version of "there", "their" and "they're". I completely forget how to write 1, 1000, 51, 6 and 500 as Roman numerals. IM LIVID.

ALONGSIDE HOPE

Nadine Leming, Camrose Booster Over the last couple of months, the children of St. Andrew’s Anglican Church have been collecting money from parishioners in support of Alongside Hope. They collected $720.10 to go toward the agency’s good works. From back row left, Donna Pederson; Madeleine Eisbrenner; Will Postma, executive director of Alongside Hope.

Central Agencies Realty Home of the Week

Comfortable five-bedroom bungalow

I'm pretty bad at math until someone orders a platter of chicken wings for the whole table. My dad bought 15 peaches and forgot to tell my mom, so she bought 12 peaches and now we are the people from the math problems. Kid: "We played a guessing game at school today." Mom: "I thought you had a math exam." Kid: "Same thing." I just heard that my old math teacher was arrested. Police found him in possession of a protractor, a calculator and a ruler – weapons of math's instruction. I stopped understanding math when the alphabet decided to get involved. If we are ever in a situation where we are both doing math in our head to figure something out, just know that I will be pretending and the answer is all on you.

Sascha Dressler This home is a great opportunity: a spacious five-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom bungalow with oversized double car garage situated on a huge (over 9,000 sq. ft.) lot. The upstairs features a large living/dining area, a good-sized kitchen, three bedrooms and four-piece bathroom. The handy back entrance area is set up for a washer and dryer and offers plenty of space with a two-piece bathroom. In the basement, you will find two good-sized bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom, a huge rec room with a cozy fireplace and a large laundry room. This great family home could use

some TLC, but some upgrades have already been done, including windows, a high efficiency furnace and central air conditioning, just to name a few. The fully-fenced big backyard is well treed and very private, and the 24’ x 24’ garage finishes a great package. All this is located in a convenient central location, close to schools. No matter if you’re looking for an investment opportunity or for a great family home, this property is certainly worth viewing. Located at 5605-47A Avenue, this home is listed for $289,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing, contact Sascha at:

Well, another day has gone by and I didn't use the Pythagorean theorem.

Why I hated Math class

In class: 1. 5 + 5 = 10 2. 3 + 6 = 9 3. 7 – 2 = 5 Homework: 1. 248 + (476 x 17) = 8,340 2. 1,635 – (749/4) = 1,447.75 3. 789 – (432/69) = 782.74 Exam: 1. If you're going down a river at 2 kilometres per hour and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to reshingle your roof? 2. Bernard is eating a muffin. Calculate its taste if he is walking down the street at 4 kilometres per hour and the temperature is 18°C. 3. If two cars are driving, one is yellow and the other one is turning right, how much does a pound of bacon cost if the pig is 10 years old?
