Ida May Orr
December 26, 1935 ~ July 6, 2020
Ida was born on December 26, 1935 to Arthur and Petra Norman. She passed away peacefully on July 6, 2020 at the age of 84.
When Ida was a young girl, her mother passed away. Because her Dad could not look after all of his children, Mom went to live with her Godmother Jenny Sjolin and her family.
Ida was united in marriage to Merril Orr on November 14, 1956. They farmed in Rosalind until they completely retired in 2007 and moved to Camrose.
Left to cherish her memory are her children Laureen (Ross) Herder, Cathy (Jim) Urkow, Wendy (Tim) Buckle, Shelly (Roger) Urkow, Leanne (Curtis) Vikse, Linda (Kevin) Burkard; eleven grandchildren; twentyfour great-grandchildren (with one more on the way); one sister Jean Getzinger; one stepbrother Oscar Sjolin; sistersin-law Grace Sjolin, Marion Hoflin, Sylvia Turner, Bonnie (Ron) Kercher, and Marlene (Tim) Shopland; and two brothers-in-law Keith Schweer and Tom (Sharon) Orr.
She was predeceased by her husband Merril; infant son Kenneth; brothers Albert, Walter, Bob and Teddy; and stepbrothers Karl and John Sjolin.
Mom’s memory will be forever cherished in our hearts and will be dearly missed by family and friends alike.
Due to Public Health restrictions, a private service has been held. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.
If family and friends so desire, memorial donations in Ida’s memory are gratefully accepted to STARS or to the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Thekla “Peggy” Ann Rissling September 23, 1925 ~ July 3, 2020
Peggy (Thekla) Rissling passed away peacefully on Friday, July 3, 2020 at the age of 94 years. Peggy was born in the rural area of Luseland, Saskatchewan on September 23, 1925, the youngest child of Michael and Anna Phillips. She grew up on the farm and attended various rural schools in the area.
In 1945, she married Mike Rissling from the Denzil/Grosswerder district. They farmed three miles northwest of Luseland from 1946 to 1977, and they retired to Camrose in 1978.
Peggy was a wonderful mother and homemaker – she was an excellent cook, baker, gardener and enjoyed the outdoors, square dancing, reading, hockey and baseball, visiting with friends and playing cards. She was a gentle, kind soul, and a beautiful and classy lady, always congenial. Peggy was a CWL member for 73 years; much of her volunteering was in the background in a quiet manner. Peggy’s family and faith were most important to her.
Left to cherish her memory are her children Linda (Vern) Klotz of Edmonton, Karen (Vern) Reichert of Beaumont, Brian of Bruno, Saskatchewan, Robert (Marlene) of Camrose, and Patricia (Blaine) Panas of Camrose; twelve grandchildren Pam (Dave) Mitchell, Brad Klotz, Trevor (Orianna) Klotz, Denise (Donavin) Stefanic, Michelle (Mark) Ly, Amanda Wood, Sarah Rissling, Colton (Kayla) Rissling, Austin Rissling, Jessica (Mike) Blair, Tyson Panas and Christie Panas; sixteen great-grandchildren Dawson, Aiden and Brock Mitchell, Sydney Klotz, Violet and Lewis Stefanic, Ava, Kate and Evan Ly, Ryden Rissling, Peyton, Chloe, Aleigha Rissling, Zephrin, Masen and Ella Hatchey; as well as sisters-in-law Louise Phillips and Laura Rissling; and many nieces and nephews.
Peggy was predeceased by her parents; husband Mike in 1994; her siblings and in-laws MJ Phillips, Tillie (Joe) Weber, Anna Phillips, Emma (Ben) Pohler, Molly (John) Burgardt, August Phillips, Joseph (Mary) Phillips and Otto (Kay) Phillips; as well as a number of nieces and nephews.
Due to Public Health Restrictions, a Private Immediate Family Service was held on Friday, July 10, 2020 at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church.
If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Peggy’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta or to Alberta Heart and Stroke Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

City reinstates garage sales with guidelines
By Lori Larsen
During the City of Camrose regular council meeting held on July 6, council voted in favour of allowing garage sales to once again occur in the City, with the understanding that set-out guidelines will be followed.
Several members of the pubic attended the meeting and six letters were read in support of reinstating garage sales within the City.
Speaking in support of reinstating garage sales was Camrose resident Teresa Kuefler. “The farmers’ markets are open and there are far more people inside a building for a farmers’ market than you would see for a garage sale. I believe we are responsible enough to have an entrance and exit and sanitizer. We are capable of doing it. The casinos are open, the gyms are open. I really don’t understand why people are dead set against having garage sales.”
Paul Behrens also spoke in favour of reinstating garage sales. “I don’t understand why we can have these large farmers’ markets–the downtown and the one in the mall that is in an enclosed building, when Hinshaw (Alberta chief medical officer) says it is better if you are out in the open. As adults, we know what we need to do. Camrose has done it, we have proven ourselves. We need to be treated like any other group.
“If we follow the rules and keep the distance, I have no problem putting signs up for my people: keep your proper distance, one arrow in and one arrow out on the other side of my garage, then it should be all good to go and it is outside.”
While council voted in favour of reinstating garage sales, concerns were voiced about protocols being met and garage sales attracting people from outside of the community, thus possibly increasing the potential for cases of COVID-19, but all comments by council reiterated the responsibility of maintaining public health and safety is on the public.
Councillor Agnes Hoveland was in favour, but did express some concern. “The reason we decided to continue with the closure (banning garage sales) was because we decided to err on the side of prudence and, given that there were no provincial guidelines in respect to garage sales, it was left to the municipalities. Consequently, we (Camrose Council) chose to be stricter.
“However, I am satisfied that we are conveying a level of compliance with regulations that have been exhibited in Camrose all along for the last number of months.
“I am, however, a little reluctant on this, because I don’t know how far afield people are going to come into Camrose for our garage sales. That is the risk that I fear. If we can trust that there is a level
of compliance with all of those regulations, I would be fine with opening up garage sales.”
Councillor Wayne Throndson said, “Similar to what we discussed when we opened up the Golf Course, follow the procedures or we shut them down again. I will take a leap of faith and add that level of trust. I don’t necessarily feel we need to fine people if they are noncompliant, but if a report comes back that there is general non-compliance with the guidelines that we put in place, the discussion will then be whether we shut them down again.”
The City implemented the following guidelines regarding garage sales.
Households in Camrose can now operate and attend garage and yard sales, with the following health and safety precautions to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19.
The person hosting the garage sale is ultimately responsible for ensuring that orders of the Chief Medical Officer of Health Orders are followed at the sale.
Hosts must:
Place the Alberta “Please Do Not Enter If” sign (visit City of Camrose website for a PDF copy) to advise shoppers not to enter the sale if experiencing symptoms or if they may have been exposed to COVID-19, and to remind them of physical distancing expectations and hand hygiene.
Provide hand sanitizer containing at least 60 per cent alcohol.
Maintain the cleaning and disinfection of common, high touch surfaces and frequently handled items.
Plan the sale to allow for spacing of at least two metres between people of different households.
Encourage shoppers to avoid unnecessary handling of items.
The host should also implement appropriate controls for their setting, including the following.
Spacing tables far enough apart to allow two metres of distance between shoppers as they browse.
Limiting the number of shoppers at one time.
Directing traffic flow within the sale using signs, ropes, floor decals or other markers, including single entrances and exits.
Further to the guidelines developed by the City, everyone attending garage or yard sales are expected to follow all Alberta Health Orders including the following precautions.
Do not attend any sales if experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been near anyone who is suspected of having, have been tested or has COVID-19; have travelled outside the country within the last two weeks or been in close contact with someone who has travelled outside the country in the last two weeks. When attending, ensure you use the hand sanitizer available at the sale, maintain a two-metre distance between yourself and anyone not a member of your family, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or use a tissue if you do sneeze or cough (not related to COVID), do not touch your face, completely sanitize any items purchased at a sale, limit the number of items you touch, stick to local garage and yard sales, carry your own bottle of hand sanitizer with you or in your vehicle and use it frequently.

Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce summer staff (standing left to right) Peyton Metzker and Sarah Dedrick witness the signing of the proclamation of Be a Tourist in Your Own Town week by City of Camrose Deputy Mayor Agnes Hoveland.
Be a tourist in your town
By Lori Larsen
This year, more than ever, being a tourist in your own town has so much potential, and staying close to home does not equate to being bored. There are a plethora of amazing attrac tions and sights to get out and explore right in your hometown and county of Camrose.
“We are excited to announce that the 16th annual Be a Tourist in Your Own Town week will run from July 13 to 17,” said Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce summer employee Peyton Metzker.
Summer employee Sarah Dedrick added, “Although this year’s Be a Tourist in Your Own Town festivities will be a bit different from the past amidst the pandem ic, it does not change our goal of encouraging the residents of Camrose to explore what our incred ible community has to offer.
During the entire week of Be a Tourist in Your Own Town, the Chamber will be hosting colouring contests for both children and adults, and a Seven Wonders of Cam rose and County scavenger hunt which will take participants to some of the ‘hidden gems’ of the Cam rose area.
In addition, there will be a week-long Eat Like a Tourist in Your Own Town event that encour ages residents to order the feature dish at participat ing restaurants, then post a picture on social media using the hashtag #Eat LikeATourist. There will be chances to win a prize.
Check out some of the other fun and family friendly events the Cham ber has planned to get residents out and about, enjoying all the area assets.
On Tuesday, July 14, parents can bring their children to the Bill Fowler Centre to pick up a Nature Bingo card for a chance to win more prizes.
On Wednesday, July 15, join Chamber staff at the Bill Fowler Centre to plan your own Alberta road trip with the help of travel counselors and be entered in a draw for a door prize.
On Thursday, July 16, you can participate in an Online Escape Room at 9 a.m. Visit the link on the Camrose Visitor Infor mation Center Facebook. This Escape Room is for matted as a Google form where you can help the City’s very own Ole Uff da by navigating through local businesses websites to answer questions.
On Friday, July 17, join Sacred Arts yoga stu dio and the Camrose Public Library for Yoga and Book Bike in the Park. This event will take place from noon until 1 p.m. at the Mirror Lake Park. This class is a pay-as-youcan event, and partici pants are asked to bring their own mat.
“We have many fun events planned and a ton of awesome prizes to be won throughout the week,” said Metzker. For more informa tion or details, contact the Camrose Visitor Informa tion Centre/Camrose and District Chamber of Com merce at 780-672-4217, or visit the Camrose Visitor Information Centre Face book page.
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.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster
Eight-year-old Rylee, front, and six-year-old sister Ava Damberger pick up some crafting goodies from City of Camrose Parks Pop Up volunteer Jaydn Johnson, left, on July 10 at Duggan Park. Not pictured were other volunteers Anna Poole, Paige Dyer and Harley Shymanski. There are 20 young volunteers spreading fun in Camrose during the summer months.
I’m glad it only rained twice this summer – once for 47 days and then again for 32 days. I’m never lonely because I have four men in my life. I get up with Charlie Horse, I spend the day with Arthur Itis, I dine with Will Power, and I go to bed with Ben Gay. Maybe 2020 will be like a mullet where the back half is the party. What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards? A receding hare line. I have no clue what’s open or closed anymore. I just walk towards automatic doors and if my face hits the glass, I turn around and go home. I don’t know if I’m ready for marriage … imagine getting home after a long day at work and someone starts talking to you! Ever have a nap so good that you thought you missed the school bus? Except it’s Sunday … and you’re 42. When life gives you lemons, give them back and tell them you want coffee. I went into the bank and asked the teller to check my balance. So he pushed me over. Some things are just better left unsaid –and I usually realize it right after I say them. Camping: When you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person. Wearing a COVID mask allows me to talk to myself in public without anyone knowing. What happened when the cow tried to jump over the new barbed wire fence the farmer built? Udder destruction. You can’t fi x stupid, but you can numb it with a 2x4.

Built with saving energy and costs in mind, the home’s ICF basement extends to the main floor walls as well. The gorgeous curb appeal sets the stage for this beautifully kept home.

The gourmet kitch en with granite counter tops boasts a large eat-up island, corner pantry and plenty of room to move around. Also located on the main floor is a large master suite retreat with a homeowner’s private en suite getaway that fea tures a corner jetted tub and walk-in shower.
