Jardine named a Canada West coach
The automotive section of
Sleeper 1958 GMC features lots of power
By Murray Green
Lorne Swedberg of Meeting Creek owns a 1958 GMC truck.
“I bought this truck in Camrose about two years ago. As you see it now, I haven’t done anything to it. I’ve always wanted a truck like this. I just like older vehicles and the style of this truck,” said Lorne.
While many GMC and Chevrolet trucks are mechanically identical, GMC is positioned as a premium offering to the mainstream Chevrolet brand, with luxury vehicles such as the Denali series.
In 1958, most trucks came with a six-cylinder motor. “When I purchased this truck, it already had a 502 (crate) engine, it’s so not factory. I’ve done a little work on the motor, but other than that, I haven’t done a thing to it,” added Lorne.
From 1939 to 1974, GMC had its own line of six-cylinder engines, first the inline sixes known as “Jimmy’s” from 1939 to 1959, and then their own V6 from 1960 until 1974, of which a V8 and a V12 version also existed.

FUN FACTS In 1958, it was the first year for new Fleetside bed (called Wideside by GMC) in 6.5-foot (two-metre) and eight-foot (2.4-metre) lengths, with a significant redesign of the front end. All light-duty trucks were now called Apache, medium-duty trucks were called Viking and heavy-duty trucks were called Spartan. Trucks now had four headlights instead of the previous two, and featured a shorter, wider grille running the width of the front end. Parking lights were located in the grille instead of being in the front of the fender. The hood was similar to 1955-56 models, but with a flat valley in the middle. It was the first year for factory-equipped air conditioning. GM promoted its 50th year of production and introduced anniversary models for each brand: Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Chevrolet. The trucks also received similar attention to appearance, while staying essentially durable, with minimal adornment. The new Apache model came standard with painted grille and front bumper, and could be upgraded to chrome. The new Fleetside model featured a smoothsided cargo box and larger bed capacity.

Jardine named a Canada West coach
By Murray Green
Camrose Kodiaks coach Clayton Jardine was named as one of the coaches to guide the Team Canada West junior club.
Although the World Jr. A Challenge was recently cancelled, the coaching staffs were named for the event that was to take place in December in Cornwall, Ont., but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canada West was to be led by Brian Maloney (Chilliwack Chiefs) as head coach for the 2020 team. Chosen to work with Maloney as assistant coaches were Paul Dyck (Steinbach Pistons/MJHL); Adam Manah (Sherwood Park Crusaders/AJHL) and Clayton Jardine (Camrose Kodiaks/AJHL).
“While the cancellation of the annual World Junior A Challenge is a disappointment, we are all supportive of the process undertaken to arrive at the decision and of the decision itself,” said CJHL president Brent Ladds.
“Ensuring the safety of our athletes, officials, volunteers, staff and fans is paramount during these current conditions. We appreciate the support we received through the evaluation process from Hockey Canada and the National Hockey League,” added Ladds.
The CJHL president also offered further sentiments. “I would like to extend my congratulations to all of the successful coaching applicants who would have been on site for this year’s event. I know that in the tradition of the WJAC, the Canadian teams would have represented Hockey Canada, the CJHL, and our country in a manner that would have made us very proud.”
With their respective clubs in 2019-20, the eight coaches who were selected to be behind the bench at the 2020 WJAC led their teams to a combined overall regular season record of 291-137-34, while producing a total winning percentage of .667.
Cornwall is expected to host the 2021 World Jr. A Challenge at a date yet to be determined.

Dr. Roy Clive Alan Fearon Born ~ September 25, 1945, Edmonton, Alberta Passed Away ~ September 16, 2020, Daysland Hospital
It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news of the passing of Dr. Roy Fearon on September 16, 2020. Roy passed away peacefully at the age of 74, with his loving family by his side after a long courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis.
Roy is survived and will be lovingly remembered by his wife Yolande of 24 years; children, son Robert (Michelle), daughters, Bonnie (Doug) Sydora, Wendy (Gaute) Tjelflaat, and Cinda Fearon; stepsons Ryan (Christin), Derek (Andrea), and Mathew (Jamee) Williams; and numerous grandchildren/ great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brother Lorne (Judi) and sister Dorothy Robinson. Roy was predeceased by his parents George and Dorothy Fearon; and brothers Ron (Grace) and William (Helen).
Roy attended the U of A as a member of the Canadian Forces dental office training program. Upon completion of this program in 1968, Roy was awarded the ADA Gold Medal in dentistry. He then commenced his military service with the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, first as Captain in Calgary, and then as a Major in Camp Borden, Ontario.
Following six years in the Canadian Forces, Roy purchased a general dental practice in Camrose, Alberta. Roy soon became very active in the community, first as a scout leader, then as a Rotarian where he was the youth exchange committee chairman. Over the years, Roy and family hosted numerous exchange students. During this time, Roy organized and led the first district exchange student bus trip from Camrose to Vancouver for 40 students. The trip included sightseeing and horseback riding in Wells Gray Provincial Park, as well as white water rafting on the Clearwater River. Over the years, Roy would fondly recall the excitement of having 40 foreign exchange students in downtown Vancouver.
Aside from having a very busy dental practice and doing community work, Roy was a devoted father of four and donated many happy hours of his time hosting horseback riding lessons and hay rides to youth groups in both winter and summer. Roy was eventually made an honourary member of the Camrose Rotary Club, honouring all his years of voluntary service.
In 1996, upon his second marriage, Roy added three more boys, ages 8 to 15, to his family. To celebrate his wedding, Roy gave a free dentistry clinic that day, nearly missing his wedding!
In 1998, Roy suffered a stroke, and after a year of extensive therapy, had to regretfully relinquish his practice. Throughout his life, Roy demonstrated excellent community involvement and dedication to making life better for others. And in 2010, this was further acknowledged by the Alberta Dental Association and College. He was awarded the distinguished Medal of Service. Roy was forever grateful to his family, loyal friends and associates who helped him achieve this life’s quest of giving to others.
A special thanks to the Daysland Hospital medical staff and Providence Place for their outstanding care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Rotary Club of Camrose.
Due to Alberta Health Regulations, a private family service will be held. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Throughout her nursing career, Donna held various roles including head nurse and surgical coordinator prior to leaving the profession in 1978.
She was a caring wife of 40 years to David, whom she met on a blind date arranged by mutual friends. Donna joined David on the farm just outside of Meeting Creek where they dairy farmed for nearly 40 years. Along with David, she was so very proud of the farm where together they created a lifetime of memories for the family.

I’m There Inside Your Heart Right now I’m in a different place, And though we seem apart, I’m closer than I ever was… I’m there inside your heart. I’m with you when you greet each day And while the sun shines bright, I’m there to share the sunsets, too… I’m with you every night. I’m with you when the times are good, To share a laugh or two, And if a tear should start to fall… I’ll still be there for you. And when that day arrives That we no longer are apart, I’ll smile and hold you close to me… Forever in my heart. – Mom, Dad, Grampa, Logan, Nicole and Jenna

On Sept. 4, approximately two weeks after the players arrived, team general manager Boris Rybalka, head coach Clayton Jardine and Central Alberta scout /Constable Rolfe, along with guest speaker, Alberta Junior Hockey Association referee, Sanjeev Bhagrath, addressed the players in an hour-long presentation on Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster the expectations off the ice.

He covered a range of information including: being mindful of the law; alcohol and drug usage; making sound and responsible decisions; to concerns of mental well-being. “I’m not here telling you guys what decisions to make, I am here to educate and provide you information to make informed decision,” said Rolfe. Rolfe assured the players that while they are not given “free passes” when it comes to abiding by the law, he is always available to them, night or day, for extra support. No one told me about how to put my skates on.” He said his father asked a few people at the rink, but not one person would give him the time of day. “My dad wears a turban, he has a full beard and he is the nicest man I know. He is gentle and volunteers, yet not one person would take the time to try to explain.” During his time playing hockey, Bhagrath said he was the brunt of racial slurs and comments, recalling a particular game where he checked a player and that player got up and started calling him racial names. “You know what I did? I “ I ’m on a crusade to make people aware,” said AJHL official on the topic of racism.” ries of incidents where he personally endured racism. He related an incident during a game where he handed out a penalty to a player who, Bhagrath was told, had made some racial slurs. Instead of further penalizing the player, Bhagrath chose to educate the player on the fact that Canada is a multiculture society–diverse. He then proceeded to the player’s bench and told the coaching team about the comments the player had made and how he explained racism to him. He told the team that it is unacceptable in the context of the arena to make comments like that. The player left the game, but later came to the officials’ dressing room and apologized. Bhagrath told other stories of times he was subjected to racism, including one in Camrose involving a spectator making racial slurs as Bhagrath left the ice following a game. He explained that the Kodiaks organization, particularly Rybalka, will turn down players for joining the Kodiaks who may be very talented, but possess poor behaviour and judgement off ice, and will select other players who may not be as talented, but are good people. Rybalka asked Bhagrath what he felt the hockey organization could do to assist in his quest to educate not only the league, but general society. “We need a diversity committee in AJHL. We need to be inclusive as an organization, say something and reach out to minority population within your own community.” He suggested the Kodiaks organization, specifically the players, create a word or phrase that they would be willing to display in the larger forum, the arena, that would relate a message about what they stand for. “You players are very fortunate, you have a coach who played

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.

Do you ever cook something in the microwave and it’s still cold in the middle, but you just keep eating it because it’s 2020 and you really don’t care anymore? If you have ever sat in the bathroom at work and wondered how long you can sit there before someone searches for you, the answer is 47 minutes. In March: Friday the 13th, full moon, turned clocks ahead, all in one weekend. October 31: Halloween on a Saturday, full moon, turn clocks back an hour all in the same day. Maybe this will return us to factory settings? The good news about wearing a mask is that you don’t have to put your teeth in to go out in public. Visited my doctor today. He told me my sugar was too high. So I went home and moved it to a lower shelf. I keep thinking I wouldn’t mind the cooler weather to kick in, but I don’t want to get too enthusiastic about it because I am 100% sure this is the year we will get fl ammable snow. Sometimes I just want someone to hug me and say, “I know it’s hard. You’re going to be okay. Here’s a coffee. And fi ve million dollars.” What doesn’t kill you doesn’t make you stronger. It wakes you up early on the weekend and demands pancakes. Maybe my mom was right all those years ago. Maybe I won’t be happy until someone loses an eye. Maybe that’s what’s been missing. If a woman says, “First of all,” during an argument, run away, because she has prepared research, data, charts, and will destroy you. Snaughling: Laughing so hard you snort, then laughing because you snorted, then snorting because you laughed. Due to recent cutbacks, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. Some people aren’t just missing a screw. The whole toolbox is gone. When I get to work, the fi rst thing I do is hide. Because a good worker is hard to fi nd. Remember when you could refer to your knees as the right one and the left one instead of the good one and the bad one? Good times... Saw my neighbour scraping the “My Kid is a Terrific Student” sticker off the back of her mini-van. Apparently homeschooling is not going so well. I started jogging today. I didn’t want to, but the ice cream truck was not stopping. The devil whispered to all 2020 school teachers, “Your not strong enough to withstand this storm.” And the teachers whispered back, “You’re.” I thought about going on an almond diet, but that’s just nuts.
