Swapped! After lengthy, intensive in-camera negotiations by both Wetaskiwin and Camrose Councils, a deal has been struck for each community to have a fitting new landmark. Wetaskiwin will take over ownership of our controversial ski jump and the stage is set for Camrosians to be the proud owners of a historic, soon-to-be re-logoed, water tower. The ski jump will be moved to an area immediately north of the Wetaskiwin golf course. Garbage collected from the community over the next three months, along with hundreds of recycled cars, will be compacted, piled and covered with clay and topsoil, effectively building a mini-mountain high enough to allow prairie ski jumping within the year. Meanwhile, the water tower, already being prepared by crews in Wetaskiwin for the move east, will be carefully positioned on the man-made dirt road which presently serves as a walking bridge across the north side of Mirror Lake. Because of the height, the water tower will be visible across the city. It is expected to become a major tourism draw. Massive trucks, used by Meridian Manufacturing to move grain storage bins, and cranes owned and operated by Proctor Picker Service, will be utilized in the unique swap. Both moves commence bright and early on the morning of Friday, April 1st. For more information see page 24.
