Adam Zunti grew up watching his father Norm become one of the most talented and respected journeymen automotive technicians in Camrose. He knew that he also wanted to help people by being like his dad, a mechanic. They talked. They decided to open their own small business, where they could gain greater satisfaction from their quality work. They agreed on four operating principals: quality work – always; honesty with clients – always; friendly service – always; fair and reasonable prices – always. Thus became AnD (Adam and Dad) Automotive.

Jodie Feddema has built her Financial Advisor business on extraordinary personalized service… In 1949, an energetic young man from Hardisty, Ken Drever, began a local fuel and oil business. His mandate called for treating every client, in every transaction, as family. When he retired from full ownership in 1994, leaving son Four Generations of Drevers Cliff to own and expand the business Cliff, Ken, David in eight different rural locations in standing up top, Jackson east Central Alberta, this “family” of clients grew nicely through continued service excellence! Drever Agencies, with an unmatched market reputation, and complemented by a superb product line of diesel, gasoline, greases and other lubricants, plus propane service, offers an impressive story of local success. The Camrose location, like their others in Hardisty, Coronation, Viking, Vegreville, Ryley and Wetaskiwin services the ag, trucking and other industries with very convenient 24-hour cardlock fuel service. Drever Agencies offers farm and site fuel delivery service. The team of caring and knowledgeable professionals provide commercial and farm account service, on approved credit. This company, Camrose-based, now has a third-generation of the Drever family managing the sizable operation. David, grandson of Ken/son of Cliff is now putting his unique visionary stamp on the operation. The original goal, though, remains intact. Every customer is family! www.dreveragencies.com

The financial services industry standard, today, has evolved into calls to 1-800 numbers, startling high minimum contribution amounts and cookie-cutter investment portfolios. Jodie takes a different approach with her clients. Her goal is one of working together for your financial future – regular face-to-face meetings and availability as you require. She counts on Edward Jones, one of the most respected names in the industry, to back up her impressive service level with worldclass research, online accounts that are easy to understand and access, and detailed corporate reporting.

The team at Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty combines integrity and innovation to provide clients with an experience tailored to individual needs. Owners Jessica and Alton Puddicombe, along with the team of 15 realtors and two administrative staff, work together to offer well-trained and mentored agents, who not only put their clients first, but their community as well. Their motto is to serve the community in any way they can, through volunteering or participating in not-for-profit events or initiatives (currently virtual due to COVID). Sign toppers are used to advocate for Habitat For Humanity and Camrose Neighbor Aid, with a portion of the proceeds from a sale donated by the agent and matched by the broker. For this team giving comes naturally. In a year where businesses have faced unprecedented challenges, Coldwell Banker has chosen Jessica and Alton to conquer crisis, resulting in a record Puddicombe year since procuring the business in 2018. Adding to the challenges of 2020 was a devastating accident which seriously injured Jessica but pulled the team together even closer, showing the true spirit and tremendous heart of the organization. With one of the largest marketing platforms available, Coldwell Banker is able to offer clients the latest in technology and innovation including virtual tours by a professional videographer, professional photography and the use of drones for rural properties. Look for agents’ faces on Open House signs around the City. Thinking ‘outside the box’, a trailer to help clients with their move, is also available.

Craftsman Ernie Bertschi launched his cabinet-making career in 1994, and in four years Innovative Kitchens & Bathrooms was born in Camrose. Eighteen years later this business operates out of the impressive former Zarski Body Shop, immediately south of Camrose Glass. Ernie has an uncanny ability to thoroughly understand the kitchen cabinet or bathroom vanity needs of his clients. Sitting across a desk, or during in-home appointments, he will professionally assess storage needs, colour and design preferences, study room design opportunities and room limitations. Clients often pull up online photos, or magazine pages to help clarify their thinking. Next he carefully creates plan options. When the right plan is adopted, he goes to work in-shop to ensure dreams come true. He uses high-quality melamine or hardwood, and durable stains and hardware to produce stunning cabinetry, bars, vanities or commercial counters and other needs for function and optimum appearance. With nearly a quarter century of cabinet-making behind him, Ernie has glowing references from homeowners and business owners from across the province. He takes pride in his work and suppies product that lasts for decades.

Or, all of the components that go into these wood or metal buildings. In reality, however, they are making dreams come true: dreams of finally being able to move into that home a family has always wanted, a retirement duplex – with one side providing rental income, a dairy barn for that immigrant family from Switzerland, or a new poultry barn for a third generation farm family. They work, with pride, as they plan and coordinate with the contractor and sub-trades for that important school renovation in one of the villages in the trading area, or do a supply list for that overdue hospital expansion. The Hauser team knows the value of these facilities to residents of these types of communities! Devan reflects: “it’s interesting to do an analysis of how many hours of work are done by local plumbers, carpenters, drywallers, electricians and other trades when we sell a building package. This income repeats throughout the community multiple times in re-spending”. They are in the business of building, but building community better describes the importance of what this team does, 6809-48 Avenue, Camrose daily. A job they do well. 780-672-8818

rdelle Kerr, educated as a Home-Ec teacher, always enjoyed conveying knowledge to students. Her passion, though learned at an early age, watching her grandmother and mother sew and make colourful and aweinspiring quilts from scratch, began teaching adult students these same skills. This was over twenty years ago. Her teacher-husband, Roger, witnessed this enthusiasm and equally captivated and fulfilled – joined Ardelle by purchasing The Sewing Centre and expanding the decades-old Camrose business into the art of quilting. Soon they were joined by their daughter, Kathleen – also a devoted quilter and her husband Rocky – who quickly learned the science of repairing all models of sewing machines and sergers. Ardelle and Kathleen now travel the globe (physically and online) teaching quilting techniques. They retail PFAFF machines and tens of thousands of metres of fabric.

Supporting local businesses has reciprocal effect By Lori Larsen

According to the Government of Canada, Small Business Statistics January 2019 (based off 2018), Alberta had 161,337 small businesses (1-99 employees) of a total of 164,667 businesses. Small businesses accounted for almost 98 per cent of businesses in Alberta. They are the backbone of the province, therefore it is incumbent on everyone to ensure they survive. By shopping local, you are not only supporting the local economy, but you are supporting the families, friends and neighbours of your community. “Especially in the current economic climate, shopping local and supporting the local businesses is critically important to our local community,” said City of Camrose Community Development general manager Patricia MacQuarrie. “There are less visitors coming to the community due to COVID, so we need to support them even more.” The owners, operators and employees of local businesses and services care about and are invested in the well-being of the community and its future. “Shopping local and investing in your home community is always important, but never as much as now with the effects COVID-19 is having on our business community,” commented Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson. “Businesses have had to restructure, re-imagine, strategize and learn how to do business in new ways.” Local businesses and services are dedicated to the success of the communities in which they live and do business, and are often counted on for support for not-for-profit through donations and volunteering. “Camrose has the reputation of being a great place to live in with great services and shopping options, but we are already seeing changes take place to our business landscape,” added Anderson. “Many of

our not-for-profit organizations are suffering, not only from the reduction in fundraising opportunities, but the level of donations they rely on has also decreased.” Small local businesses provide personal faceto-face service that often means quicker, easier and better response to the consumer’s needs and concerns. “Our local business community is very eclectic,” noted MacQuarrie. “We have such a wide variety of shopping and entertainment options within the City of Camrose that there is very little that can’t be found locally.” By shopping local, consumers are spending less time on the road and more time in their own hometowns, which allows for

more quality time with family and friends. As well, because smaller businesses tend to have smaller infrastructure needs, they have less impact on municipal services and leave a smaller carbon footprint. Local businesses and services employ members of the community which, in turn, contributes to the stability of the local economy. “Competing against retail ‘giants’ is especially difficult for our retailers who do not have an online presence,” explained Anderson. “Supporting local not only sustains Camrose businesses and their employees’ jobs, it creates a healthy community environment.” More often than not, small local businesses

source out locally or Canadian-made products which means more work for local and Canadian employees. Generally speaking, small local businesses support other small local businesses. “Money regenerates in a local economy,” said MacQuarrie. “When you spend money at a local business, they are likely reinvesting that money in other businesses in the community, in our sports and cultural activities, and through the local tax base. If you spend that money in another community, you are supporting the reinvestment of cash into that community. There is a multiplier effect to where you choose to spend money.” Competition and diversity can lead to more choices for consumers. A

marketplace consisting of a variety of small businesses can ensure innovation and competitive pricing over the long term. Small local businesses and services are a vital part of every community. Their success means the community thrives and succeeds as well. “I encourage everyone to choose Camrose when they are choosing where to shop,” encouraged MacQuarrie. “This includes services, entertainment, retail, groceries, you name it. It all adds up.” A nderson added, “Investing in our community today will help ensure it’s vibrancy in the future. We encourage everyone to Gift Camrose Christmas: Shop Local.”

Chamber accepting nominations for small business awards By Lori Larsen

Like so many other events and activities this year, Small Business Week has taken on a new twist. The premise is the same, celebrating the amazing contributions the small businesses of Camrose make to this community, however, without the gathering. During Small Business Week, the Camrose & District Chamber of Commerce recognizes and cel-

ebrates business and individual excellence. “We’ve postponed our Awards Gala until May 2021,” said Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson. “But we are accepting nominations in all categories.” The categories include: • Innovative Marketing (individual), this is a brand new category. • Home Based Business (3 employees or less)

• Small Business (0-24 employees) • Business Excellence/ Franchise (25+ employees) • Community Spirit (Not for Profit) • Customer Service (Individual) • Ambassador (Individual) • Woman in Business (Individual) • Young Entrepreneur During Small Business Week, Camrose and District Chamber of Com-

merce will be hosting a free daily Lunch and Learn Zoom webinar speaker series which began on Oct. 19 and runs until Oct. 23, from noon until 1 p.m. The online event includes the following topics: • Tuesday, Oct. 20 – Utilities for Small Business; • Wednesday, Oct. 21 – VP and Chief Economist for ATB Financial;

• Thursday, Oct. 22 – Keeping Employees Happy with Access to Financial Support and Advice; • Friday, Oct. 23 – Speaker Series Panel Discussion. It is vital to network with other like-minded small business operators and exchange information and ideas especially during these challenging times.

Before adjusting that thermostat, here are a few tips to help you prepare your home’s heating/ventilation system for the long, cold months ahead. Changing the air filter often (especially if it is dirty) is one of the most important things you can do to support your home’s heating/ventilation system and ensure you are breathing the cleanest air. “Check your filter once a month and if it is dirty, replace it right away,” suggested Ken Gourlay of Ken E. G. Mechanical. “Filters should be changed at least every three months.” While replacing your filter, take time to vacuum around the furnace and all the air vents within the home. This will allow warm air to flow freely and will regulate the home’s temperature. Once a year, have your system inspected by professionals to ensure all mechanical parts of the

system are working properly and efficiently. Check the pilot lights on your gas furnace and fireplace to make sure they are working properly. If your system is older, then you may want to consider replacement. Hot water heating systems also require regular maintenance to ensure they are working at optimum efficiency. Gourlay advises yearly servicing on condensing boilers. “The heating coil needs to be cleaned and checked for leaks. As well, the combination space heating and domestic hot water heating boilers should have the domestic hot water heat exchangers flushed and water and or glycol makeups should be checked and adjusted and the auto and manual air vents need to be checked for leaks. “In general, condensing and atmospherically vented boilers should be checked over in the fall to help prevent any problems

that may arise when you least expect it.” Installing a programmable thermostat will allow you to maintain the proper temperature in your home. For example, if no one is in the home, the temperature can be programmed to be significantly lower than the “living area” temperature. If the attic in your home is not sufficiently insulated, you may be losing a lot of heat and upping your energy costs. Proper insulation also means less strain on your HVAC system, prolonging its life and making is more efficient. Ensuring all your windows and doors are sealed properly will also help keep the warm air in and moderate your home’s internal temperatures. By doing a little preventative maintenance, you will save yourself the stress and risk of having to deal with a midwinter breakdown.

Recycle your used containers By Murray Green

Grandmothers go digital

This week, an internet provider switched my email to servers which I do not wish to be on. I do not like how my emails look on the screen. Plus, I can’t find my contacts. One choice is to have my email controlled by a multinational mega-corporation about whom I do not have good feelings in regard to privacy and security. My other choice is to change servers, which would mean changing my email address and risk losing contact with many people I like. I dislike having to choose the “least awful” option, as opposed to having a “best” option. In the same week, I’ve been trying to figure out a new online appointment booking system. I’m having trouble finding my way around the site. I’m having even more trouble understanding the instructions. Let’s just say it has not gone well–at least not yet. ***

I have enough experience learning other new things to believe that eventually I will figure out these technologies. I’ll even be grateful for the automated systems. In the meantime, my unfortunate teeth have been subjected to a fair bit of gnashing. This week, I also had a dental appointment. The dentist observed that I appeared to be an “aggressive” tooth brusher. Apparently, this is not a good thing. I was going to tell him about gnashing my teeth because my internet provider forced its email customers to be controlled. I couldn’t tell him, though. It was too hard to talk, what with my mouth being propped open and all. ***

In principle, I’m in favour of serenity about things I cannot control. Unfortunately, there are parts of my brain that have not mastered serenity. At least I’m aware of my inconsistency. My mom once said, “If you want to know what you’ll be like when you’re seventy, think what you were like when you were thirty. That’s what you’ll be like when you’re seventy, only more so.” Sigh. Here I am, deeply into my seventies. I was hoping for maturity. With all my tooth-gnashing this week, I’ve been forced to realize something. I’ll have to settle for awareness of immaturity, at least when trying to learn new technologies. ***

In that context, my heart was warmed by a story in the Edmonton Journal about a group of Edmonton area grandmothers (and grand-others who don’t have grandchildren). They are mastering technical skills in support of grandmothers in Africa. For the past few years, the Edmonton GANG (Grandmothers of Alberta for a New Generation) and the East Side Grannies of Sherwood Park have put on an annual Makers and Shakers Market craft sale. Both groups are members of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign. The Foundation supports grandmothers in Africa caring for their grandchildren whose parents have died of AIDS. The GANG, since it began in 2006, has raised more than $1 million. A major fundraiser has been their annual craft sale. When this year’s sale had to be cancelled because of COVID-19, the members decided they would take on the challenge of learning how to run an online store. The group was able to use some federal grant money to pay for training videos on how to set up and run an online store. It was a steep learning curve. How do you describe each product? How do you load the photos? How do customers order? How do they pay? One of the group’s 86-year-old members spent hours on the computer figuring out how to fill out the form to describe her handmade toys. Then she had to upload the photos. She said it was worth the time it took, teaching herself how to do it. It was worth it to support the grandmothers in Africa who’ve stepped up to raise their grandchildren while grieving the deaths of their adult daughters and sons. Maybe we can do anything–even learn frustrating complicated new technologies–if we have a good enough reason.

R ecycling you r used items can help the environment. Remember to rinse, or even better wash, your empty beverage containers to make the depot a cleaner, more inviting place. Cleaning your beverage containers means less odour and germs. Leave tabs, labels and lids on plastic containers. While it is okay to squish plastic milk jugs, don’t crush cans or bottles, they need to remain as is. Nearly 96 per cent of materials in a cell phone are recyclable. The Recycle My Cell program has set up 315 free collection sites across the province to help Albertans conveniently dispose of unwanted devices in an environmentally responsible manner. Centra Cam takes all cell phones. The Recycle My Cell program continues to operate and provides Albertans with an opportunity to recycle their unwanted cell phones. Alberta’s electronics recycling program is managed by the Alberta Recycling Management Authority. The program includes televisions, computers and computer equipment (including printers and scanners). “We take all electronic materials now including microwaves, blenders and televisions,” said Centra Cam recycling manager Terry Vickers. “The only thing we won’t take is light fixtures.” Centra Cam doesn’t take VCR tapes. If they are in good condition, they can be dropped off at the Emergency Clothing and Furniture Outlet. If they are not

in good condition, the tapes are considered garbage. The City of Camrose has two collection dates every year. The Household Hazardous Waste Round Up is on the third Friday and Saturday in June, and the first Friday and Saturday in October. LED lights must be taken to the hazard sites on the dates allowed. Paint and anything connected to paints such as thinners, varnish and paint strippers can be taken to Centra Cam throughout the year. “They just need to have the original label on them, so they can be properly identified,” added Terry. Alberta Environment and Parks encourages all Albertans to use reusable shopping bags and to recycle your single-use plastic bags. You can recycle old tires at your local tire shop when you purchase new ones, or take them to your local landfill site. Used oil filters and oil containers can be taken to the Universal Bottle Depot (old site) and Drever Agencies. Garden organic waste and grass clippings must be taken to the landfill for composting. Centra Cam accepts, in sorted bins, newspaper materials, clean cardboard, glass, tin cans, paper office products, including spines or staples and shredded paper. Books can be dropped off at Centra Cam during regular hours. “For most items, we get paid and those funds help run the program,” explained Terry. “Some things such as glass and plastic, we don’t get paid for, but we collect it as a

service because someone is willing to take it at no charge to us.” White shredded paper is accepted if it is in clear plastic bags at Centra Cam. You can also use cardboard boxes and paper bags. Cardboard is accepted in both flattened and unflattened versions. Try to keep plastic lids on the containers for recycling, and trap tin lids with the can to avoid them becoming loose. Plastic containers with the numbers one, two or five on the bottom are recyclable. Car batteries and household batteries are accepted, as well as fluorescent tubes. Film plastics (black garbage bags, grocery bags, stretch and shrink wraps) are also accepted. The following items cannot be recycled at depots. Waxed cardboard, paper towels or tissues, ceramics, china, light bulbs or mirrors, styrofoam packaging of any kind, clothing, disposable diapers, kitty litter, hypodermic needles, syringes or medical supplies, aerosol cans, hazardous materials, no liquids of any kind, household décor (carpets, rugs or curtains), gift wrap, gift bags and wrapping tissue are not accepted. Containers such as aluminum pop or beer cans, plastic water and juice bottles, milk jugs and cartons, tin juice cans, and juice pouches can be taken to the local bottle depot for refunds. Centra Cam, at 440251 Avenue in Camrose, is open for City residents only, Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Operation Impact for safer roads By Lori Larsen

From Oct. 9 to 12, Camrose Police Service took part in a nationwide public awareness campaign, Operation Impact 2020, aimed at making Canada’s roadways the safest in the world. “Our goal is always to promote safe driving behaviours, and help prevent collisions, save lives, and reduce injuries on our roads,” noted Camrose Police Service traffic enforcement officer Constable Sarah Day. During the four day traffic safety blitz, the police focused on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and others at risk including: impaired driving due to alcohol, drugs or fatigue, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and driving without a seat belt.

port traffic safety on the streets and highways in the community. It was by no coincidence that the campaign was initiated during the Thanksgiving long weekend. Traffic statistics have shown that there are more vehicles travelling the roadways during long weekends, thus increasing the probability of incidents occurring. Alarming statistics

Motor vehicle collisions kill approximately 2,000 Canadians, seriously injure another 10,000 people, and injure about 165,000 citizens in Canada each year. According to the 2018 Canadian Motor Vehicle Traffic Collision Statistics, in 2018, the number of motor vehicle fatalities in Canada was 1,922, up 3.6 per cent over 2017 (1,856).

their destination, celebrate with their family and share the things that make them grateful.” Despite unfavourable weather conditions, Day reported that during the Oct. 9 to 12 Operation Impact Campaign, there continued to be a significant number of vehicles speeding on roadways. “Speed is one of the major causes of fatalities and collisions resulting in injury,” said Day. “Despite an extensive police presence, motorists were still failing to slow down.” Day indicated that Wetaskiwin Integrated Traffic Unit members were also in Camrose Thursday and Friday, conducting traffic stops alongside CPS. “We did not have any impaired driving charges,”

Submitted Operation Impact, a traffic safety and education campaign was intended to remind motorists of the importance of making good decisions when getting behind the wheel.

“Most collisions are not ‘accidents’, they are generally the direct result of a conscious decision an individual driver has made,” explained Day, adding that this year’s campaign emphasized the accountability and the role each driver has to play to sup-

In 2018, there were 9,494 serious injuries due to motor vehicle collisions in Canada, down 6.1 per cent from 2017 (10,107). “On Thanksgiving weekend, CPS conducted over 100 traffic stops in an effort to ensure everyone was able to safely get to

said Day, noting that it may be a combination of people being wiser and not risking getting an impaired, and the fact that the weather was poor in the evenings, which may have kept many people indoors. “The Alberta Sheriffs Impaired Detection Unit

www.battleriversports.ca was in Camrose on Saturday evening doing enforcement. They are part of an Alberta enforcement initiative to decrease the number of impaired operators on our roadways. It is important for members of our community to remember there are multiple agencies working within our province that all have the same goals in mind: to keep our roadways safe and ensure the public is taking every step necessary to make sure they are doing their part as well.” With winter weather quickly approaching, residents will be faced with more hazardous road conditions and are reminded of the importance of abiding by all traffic laws and using the utmost care while driving. “If you have consumed alcohol or drugs, don’t

drive. If you are too tired, don’t drive. If you are overly nervous about the road conditions, don’t drive. “It is plain and simple,” said Day. “Make the right choices for all of the right reasons, so everyone can celebrate the joys of the seasons together without having to invite tragedy to their festivities.” Keeping roadways safe for all users is every person’s responsibility. If you observe someone you suspect is driving while impaired, call 911 and report the last direction the suspect vehicle was traveling, the make of the vehicle, and a license plate number. The police advise citizens to obtain this information only if it is safe to do so, and to never put themselves or others at risk.

Question: What is “police discretion”? Answer: In essence, police discretion is the freedom of judgement and choices given to police officers, in specified circumstances in accordance with their governing policies. What this means is, in a given circumstance, police officers must weigh various factors to determine a reasonable course of action. For example, does the officer issue a ticket or give out a warning? Factors to consider include public interest, pattern of behaviour, time of day, traffic volume, degree of seriousness, etc. This is one example of a minor offence where police officers have discretion. Of course, there is no discretion for serious offences such as sexual assault or homicide; officers are compelled to enforce the Criminal Code of Canada. Have a question for the Chief?

A slice of happiness pie By Lori Larsen

Serving up a “Slice of Happiness Pie” was the theme of a special evening, honouring what is hoped to be the first group of outstanding community members and their service to not only the community, but the many individual lives they have touched. Hosted by the office of Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely, the celebration was held at the Norsemen Inn on Oct. 6. The evening’s recipients were: City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer; retired executive director of Camrose Adult Learning Council Diane McLaren; Camrose resident, business owner and volunteer Ken Drever (accepting on his behalf was son Cliff); Killam RCMP Corporal Trent Cleveland; Flagstaff Family and Community Service director (Lougheed) Holly Bovencamp; Flagstaff teachers (retired) Heather Cheavraux (Central High Sedgewick Public School), Ian MacEachern (Central High Sedgewick Public School) and Marilyn Kuysters (Killam Public School); Flagstaff Family and Community Services executive director Lynne Jenkinson; and entrepreneur and volunteer Jarad Collins. For the most part, the honourees were none the wiser as their names were called for them to come forward and accept a beautifully crafted scroll on behalf of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, congratulating and thanking the named recipient for their service to the community. “We wanted to do a COVIDfriendly event to celebrate and recognize so many wonderful people whom we have in our community(s),” said Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. “I put out a call to the mayors, councillors, reeves, CAOs, chambers and social service organizations throughout the entire constituency to provide me with a list of some people they thought we should recognize, and we received a very long list.” Lovely indicated they would like to make the celebration a regular event. “We want it to grow into an event that we can repeat and rotate around the constituency.” The room was set up with tables displaying wares and material from local Downtown businesses, invited to come and share a little bit about their respective businesses with the goal of encouraging everyone to shop local. “Over the past several months, our local businesses have suffered with a loss of business due to isolation and we want our locals to succeed,” said Lovely. “That is why I started doing short videos with local businesses. It began with the Downtown Camrose Business Association, and that is who we invited here today.” Special guest Minister of Community and Social Services Rajan Sawhney drove up from Calgary to partake in the evening events and offer her congratulations to the recipients on behalf of the Alberta Government.

“It hasn’t been an easy time with COVID-19 and all the public health restrictions,” said Sawhney. “But as a community, as a government, we have done a phenomenal job in actually managing the spread of the virus. “The reason why we are here today is to recognize community leaders. The most profound joy and purpose I have ever experienced was through my volunteer activities. I know that many of you who are here tonight do the things you do because it comes from the heart and it means something to you personally. But what it does for community and the impact it has on community is immeasurable and you will never know, some of you will know, but a lot of you will never know about the multiplier affect of doing good work and giving back.” Along with thanking volunteers for the investments they make to their communities, Sawhney also offered a shout out to the social service sector for the tremendous work they do. “If we all come together and we synergize and talk to one another and identify those gaps, we can actually create magic that is the power of civil society.” Mayor Norm Mayer, on behalf of City of Camrose and council, welcomed guests to the evening and thanked and congratulated the recipients for their contributions to community. “We have very strong support in volunteers in this community. It doesn’t matter what the problem or needs are, there will be a force behind it to make it happen and I think we can all be proud of that.” Mayer referenced the challenging times that COVID has created, reminding guests that everyone is in it together, and how working together through the challenges is vital. “We have to keep our heads up and keep going in the direction we feel we have to. That is what is going to make our community stronger. Continue moving forward in tough times–we are not quitters.” Prior to beginning the recognition of honourees, Lovely explained that all of the evening’s recipients were nominated by fellow citizens. “We are so fortunate in our constituency to have so many people who contribute to making our communities what they are.” Presenters read a short narrative on each respective honouree who was then called forward to accept their scroll depicting their name and their service to their community. In conclusion, Lovely quoted Minister of Municipal Affairs Tracy Allard. “‘Hope is the currency of the future.’ 2020 has been an exceptionally difficult year for each one of us. This evening, it is my intention to give hope and thanksgiving to the community.” In hopes of continuing the recognition of those of all ages and from all sectors of the community, MLA Lovely encourages citizens to nominate people they would like to see receive recognition by emailing camrose@assembly.ab.ca. and include a bio of the nominee.

We see profit sharing. The Town of Viking sees financial fitness. Last year, Vision returned more than $12.5 million in profit share payouts to our members. The Town of Viking got $1742. Mayor Ritchie says the Town put their share towards the debenture for the local Carena, which has an ice rink, play structure, walking track and gym. Supporting the local rec complex with profit shares is a good way to help keep the town’s finances – and its residents – in good shape, says Mayor Ritchie.

They are more than I could have ever hoped for. They are so bright, so talented and they are thinking in ways that are going to change this world.” Kohler indicated that it is the students who are designing the program for next year and they will all be offered alumni status, “So they can become mentors and the CRE board is looking at having a junior member from this group on board. “I think we are barely scratching the service, and this will grow into something even bigger, even more impactful.” The goal of the program is to prepare youth for life and all that it hands them, to give them some hard life skills that will help them survive as they move forward as the leaders of their own futures and of our communities. “We have to start paying attention to this age group and let them design the world they want to live in. Our job is to fulfill it.” It is obvious these intuitive young people have imprinted on Kohler that there is great hope for the future. “I am honoured to work with them. This truly is soul feeding–to be part of their journey is such an honour.”

Government 211 service assists with support navigation By Murray Green

Everyone in Canada will soon have access to 211, a free confidential information navigation service that connects people to critical government and community-based health and social services in their community, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada. Whether you are a parent worried about your child’s mental health, a senior feeling isolated or anxious about getting basic necessities, a family struggling to put food on the table, or an individual looking for help to better understand what financial support is available to you, 211 is the front door to support. The 211 service helps people navigate the complex network of government and community programs and services quickly and easily, and promises access 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in over 150 languages. Across Canada, the service is offered through a variety of ways including phone, chat, website and text. In all cases, 211 confidentially connects people who are seeking support to the right information and services. As part of its COVID-19 response, the Government of Canada provided funding to United Way Centraide Canada to increase the capacity and expand access to 211 services for all Canadian residents. This will be even more valuable as the country enters the second wave of the pandemic. Existing 211 services across Canada saw a dramatic increase in the number of people reaching out for help during the first wave. Overall, calls and website visits to existing 211 services increased by 31 per cent and 45 per cent, respectively, in the March to August time frame.

“The Government of Canada created the Emergency Community Support Fund to help charities and nonprofit organizations adapt frontline services to address the evolving needs of Canadians throughout the pandemic. We are proud to support programs and services like the 211 telephone line and online directory. With the ongoing pandemic, the 211 service is more important than ever, helping get information about community services to the Canadians who need it,” said Canadian Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Ahmed Hussen. “Every year, United Way Centraide, through the contribution of our donors and partners, ensures that individuals and families have access to a strong network of essential local community services. United Way Centraide created the 211 service to help everyone, especially our most vulnerable, learn about available community services and get access to the help they need when they need it. By calling 211, people are connected with a real person who will ask questions about their situation and then suggest programs or services that can help. Whether it’s through the phone, website, text or chat, 211 will be there to help people connect to the services they need for themselves, their family or friends,” said Dan Clement, president and CEO, United Way Centraide Canada. The free and confidential service can be accessed 24 hours a day, in more than 150 languages, by phone, chat, text and web. It helps connect people to the right information and services, making their pathway to care and resources a guided and trusted one. Visit 211.ca for more information.

There are some spooky settings around the City in preparation for All Hallows’ Eve. This Halloween, the province is offering extra tips on keeping trick-or-treaters and treat givers safe. By Lori Larsen

This year’s Halloween festivities come with a little extra caution as people toy with the decision to let their little trick-or-treaters go door to door. The following are some suggestions from the Province of Alberta Halloween During COVID-19. Trick-or-treaters

Do not go trick-ortreating if feeling ill, even if symptoms are minor. Choose costumes that allow a nonmedical mask to be worn–make sure you can see and breathe comfortably. It is not recommended to wear a nonmedical mask or face covering over or under a Halloween mask, as it may make breathing difficult. Minimize contact with others: trick-or-treat with your family or cohort, remain within your community, and stay two metres apart. Avoid touching doorbells or railings: call “Trick or treat” from two metres away, knock instead of using doorbells, and use hand sanitizer after touching surfaces. Wash hands and disinfect packages before eating candy. Treat givers

Do not hand out candy if you are feeling ill or iso-

lating. Turn off your porch light and lock your front door. Wear a nonmedical mask that fully covers your nose and mouth. Ask trick-or-treaters to knock or call out instead of ringing the doorbell. Tape a piece of paper reading, “Do Not Ring Bell” over your doorbell. Use tongs to hand out prepackaged candy to avoid handling treats. Find creative ways to maintain distance from trick-or-treaters such as: handing out treats from your driveway or front lawn; if weather permits, setting up a table or desk to help keep yourself distanced; make candy bags and space them out on a table or blanket; do not leave out self-serve bowls of bulk candy; build a candy slide, candy catapult or other fun, non-touch delivery methods. Halloween parties

Stay home if feeling ill, even if symptoms are mild. Spend time with people you know–the smaller the group, the better. Choose games and activities that don’t use shared items and allow people to stay two metres apart. Don’t share drinks, food, cigarettes, vapes or cannabis. Host your party outdoors, if weather per-

mits. If you must stay indoors, reduce your gathering size. Choose a location that allows for physical distancing between people from separate families and cohorts. Provide hand sanitizer. Wash or sanitize your hands often. For more information on the recommendations by the province, visit the website at www.alberta.ca/halloweenduring-covid19.aspx. Parents are also reminded to ensure their children are safe while trick-or-treating with the following tips. Make costumes that are easy to walk in and highly visible and ensure that children are dressed for the weather, which may mean toques, gloves and comfortable, safe footwear. Advise children to stay on planned routes, not to go into unlit areas, and stay together in their cohorts. Tell children not to go to homes that are darkened, or do not have a clear and well lit pathway. Have children carry a flashlight and wear reflective material on their clothing. Carry water with you so children can hydrate while trick-or-treating. Remind children to use caution when crossing roads and not traverse across lawns, and to not approach unfamiliar or stray pets. Advise children to not eat treats until they have been inspected and disinfected by an adult. Do not allow children to eat any unwrapped treats. Motorists

Motorists are advised to use extreme caution and slow down when travelling around City roads on Halloween night, especially between 4 and 8 p.m. when younger children are out trick-or-treating If you are driving children to a variety of subdivisions or streets, park your vehicle to the side of the road to let children exit and board the vehicle and remain parked while the children trick-or-treat. Ensure all children are safely onboard and seatbelts are fastened before driving away. If you must pass a stopped vehicle, do so slowly and with extreme caution. Always yield to pedestrians. On Halloween night, children may forget pedestrian safety rules. Ensure your vehicle’s lights and signals are working properly, so your vehicle is highly visible to others. Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. All motorists must abide by all traffic laws, signals and devices. As you prepare for Halloween, make safety a number one priority for everyone.

Churchmice Players prepare for a Christmas classic By Murray Green

The Churchmice Players are back in action, and plans are underway for a holiday season show at the Bailey Theatre on Dec. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12. Emily Rutledge was named the director, and Brian Dumont is moving from the stage to the producer’s chair for A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play. “We wanted to do the radio play version because of the simplicity of it, but it is still really fun and engaging,” said Emily. “It is our foray of getting back into theatre in the post COVID-19 era of shutdown. We can get away with a small cast with a number of people doing several voices. We can rehearse remotely, because it is dramatic reading without a lot of movement and direct acting.” A handful of actors bring dozens of characters to the stage as the familiar story unfolds: Three ghosts take Ebenezer Scrooge on a thrilling journey to teach him the true meaning of Christmas. It is a charming take on a family favorite. The actors will have their scripts with them as they read the play. “If an actor gets a cold or something, another person can take over the voices easier without affecting the production,” added Brian. “The lines don’t have to be fully memorized like they do in a play. We are watching the news live

from the entertainers,” said Emily. “The difference between the play and the radio version is that we take breaks and play Christmas jingles or advertisements mixed in, so you are getting two plays in one. You are getting the story of Scrooge that everyone knows, and then the 1940s jingles.” The Charles Dickens holiday classic comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials for fruitcake (extra-fancy) and the magic of live sound effects and musical underscoring. “We will have props on stage for making various sounds, so that adds a lot of interest to the show as well,” said Brain. “A person will be providing the sound effects on stage, rather than canned sounds coming from the speakers,” chipped in Emily. Emily usually is on stage, but has experience as a director as well. This is the first time Brian will be the producer. “This is all new for me, because I’m usually up front acting and singing. This year, I want to learn a different side of the production,” he shared. All rehearsals will follow COVID protocols. The shows will be dinner theatre performances Thursday to Saturday at the Bailey Theatre. “Following all of the protocols that are in place will be a challenge because of the number of people that we can have at each

show. We have to maximize the numbers that we can get in because we have to deal with cohorts at each table,” said Brian. The dinner will be served to each individual, so no lineups or sharing of utensils will take place. “We have had really good support from the Bailey Theatre and the caterers,” said Brian. Emily is currently taking auditions through videos. The size of the cast hasn’t been determined yet. “A Christmas Carol is a story that everyone knows, but each season you expect to see it again. We have never done this version of it, so we wanted to have a radio version of it to keep it new for everyone,” said Emily. “The last time we performed the play, it was very successful, so we wanted to continue with that too,” said Brian. “It’s really exciting to return to performing arts and that people are willing to support us.” Arts on the Bailey stage have been missing since mid-March. “We are taking the COVID-19 protocols seriously and putting safety precautions in place,” said Emily, who is also the artistic director for a theatre group in Leduc. “We want to keep theatre going, but do so responsibly.” Celebrate the Christmas season with the Churchmice Players this December.

tion’s Improv team, and has participated with Wetaskiwin’s Waterworks Players as well, where she performed in Love, Sex and the IRS. Janette is playing Shirley. Knowing the time is near, she is doing all the things Tony never let her do. She also wants to visit with Shep (played by Mike Hicks). This play is directed by Cole Olesen. He is doing double duty in both directing and playing Joe. “I was eager to get back on stage as my last show (for the Bashaw Community Theatre) had been put off due to COVID in the spring,” said Cole. Casting fell into place quite quickly as people leaned towards certain characters early. There was some question, however, as to who would direct.

“I didn’t jump into this show planning to direct because I just wanted a chance to be up on stage again. The last show I directed I acted in as well, and I told myself then that I had no interest in being in a show I was directing,” explained Cole. “Fate, being what it is, has drawn me to the directors’ chair as well as with a part in this show, and I couldn’t be more happy with how this has worked out. “With the support of Mike and Trevor with Infinite Imagination, we started rehearsals at the end of September with a very ambitious opening date of

Oct. 29. It has been a great experience doing this show from the start of the process all the way through to current rehearsals.” Working to build a reputation under the shadow of the ever-popular Churchmice Players, Infinite Imagination has slowly been building a reputation on smaller productions and improv performances. “I have been part of the improv shows in the past, and this is my first scripted show that I have done with them. I am very proud of the work we have put in.”

The automotive section of

Plymouth Fury offers style, smooth ride By Murray Green

Judy and Dennis Brown of Camrose County own a beautiful 1968 Plymouth Fury III two-door convertible coupe. Their car was assembled in Windsor, ON, and is one of 4,483 similar units made in Canada. “I purchased the car in 1969, only one year old and had 9,000 miles on it at the time, from the original owner in Edmonton. The owner wouldn’t consent to a pre-purchase test drive because it was his son’s car and he lived on Vancouver Island. He told me that what you see is what you get. I knew the car was worth about $3,800 new and he wanted $1,900 for it,” said Dennis. “The car looked pretty good and was stored in a garage. It was used as a daily driver for Judy going to work, family vehicle and it was repaired as needed.” The Plymouth Fury line was created to drive as if there were no such thing as a bad road. “It has a torsion bar suspension system that makes it smooth and a joy to drive.” The convertible has a durable soft top that works electrically. The Fury features a 318 motor and an automatic transmission. The car came from a garage and the Brown’s have always stored it in a heated garage as well. “In 1973, at a friend’s wedding in Calgary, the Fury was hit en route to the wedding with the top down. It was hit by another vehicle, no one was hurt; however, it was written off at $1,800. I didn’t know

what to do with it,” shared Dennis. He brought the car back to Camrose and had it repaired by Bob Bruneski at E & L Autobody for the same amount. As years went by, some minor repairs were made to remove rust spots. “As we went, we lost the body lines.” Several years later, a major body restoration was

FUN FACTS

In 1965, Chrysler returned the Fury to the new, full-size Chrysler C-body platform. The new Plymouth line included three special Furys: the Fury I, Fury II and Fury III. The Fury I was the basic model, while the Fury II and Fury III offered more trim and features. The 1968 Furys received only minor grille updates up front, along with side marker lights and shoulder belts for front outboard occupants (except the convertibles). At the rear, however, all models except the station wagons received new sheet metal, including reshaped rear doors on four-door models. Meanwhile, the Suburban badge returned to station wagons after having been retired in 1961. The Suburban, Custom Suburban, and Sport Suburban corresponded to the Fury I, II, and III models.

completed by Deny Dupuis and staff at Lamb Ford. “It was then discovered that a sidebody line (a piece from the door to the rear bumper) had disappeared. From literature and photos, they formed a piece to fit the original style. Later, the 318 motor was rebuilt by Canadian Tire and a new top was installed by Russ Griepl. It is still a great cruiser today,” said Dennis. “Camrose people have really helped us with the car. Now it has 150,000 miles. We were looking for a convertible. The people who lived next door to us at that time had a 1959 Buick convertible and we went to a movie in it. The movie featured Elvis Presley, and in that movie was a 1967 or ’68 Plymouth Fury convertible that we liked. So I started to go through ads in the paper. That’s when we found this one. We even pulled our band trailer with this car. At

one point, we almost gave up trying to fix it, but we are glad we did. We use it for weddings including our grandson’s last summer.” Dennis and his friend

Dwight Myers were the founders of the Camrose Cruise Show. The Browns still enjoy going to car shows when they can.

Prepare your vehicle, winter has arrived By Lori Larsen

The dropping in temperatures is a reminder that people need to prepare their vehicles for the long “road” of winter weather ahead. Servicing your vehicle will ensure it runs smoothly and is safe and reliable. The following are a few tips to help ensure your winter ride is ready. Install winter tires. Winter tires improve traction in snowy, slushy and icy road conditions. Begin by checking your winter tires to ensure they have a good amount of tread left and check the air pressure. Air pressure decreases in cold weather, so tires should be checked frequently throughout the winter. Ensure your vehicle’s oil is full and clean. Get regular oil changes and consider using synthetic oil, especially in the winter months. Consult with your local mechanic shop. Ensure all other engine fuels and liquids are topped up as well. Complete a preventative maintenance check on your vehicle. Make sure your brakes, battery, lights, heating and electrical systems, belts, hoses and exhaust systems are all functioning properly. Check your wiper blades for wear and tear. Consider changing your wiper blades to winter blades, which are heavier and more effective at pushing heavy snow and ice buildup. Top up your windshield washer reservoir with win-

ter grade fluid and always carry a windshield scraper and brush in your vehicle. Always clear snow and ice from your windows, mirrors, and overall vehicle, and wait for your windows to defrost prior to travelling roadways. Have an emergency kit in your vehicle at all times. Suggested items include: nonperishable food (granola bars), blankets, extra clothing and footwear, first aid kit, matches or lighter, flashlight and extra batteries, battery jumper cables, traffic safety triangle, flares, spare tire, wheel wrench and jack, extra windshield washer fluid, shovel, traction mat or sand or kitty litter, fuel line antifreeze, flashlight and sandbags. If you have a cellular phone, make sure it is fully charged at all times. Keep your gas tank topped up at all times. Not only does this help to avoid condensation and moist air building up inside the tank, which could cause fuel lines to freeze, but it will reduce the dangerous risk of running out of fuel. Should your vehicle break down, drive your vehicle out of traffic to a safe location if possible, activate emergency flashers, telephone for assistance, and remain in your vehicle with your seatbelt fastened. Stay dry and warm by wrapping as much clothing and blankets as possible around you. Use extreme caution when running your vehicle to stay warm, ensuring

there is proper exhaust ventilation and fresh air in the vehicle. Winter weather can be unpredictable and, while you may think you can

hike home, the safer choice is to stay warm and wait for help. Exiting a vehicle into traffic, especially during stormy conditions, is extremely dangerous.

If your vehicle is prepared, your winter travelling will be that much safer.

Kodiaks take on Drumheller Adele Eleanor Jensen August 2, 1928 ~ October 13, 2020

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

A Camrose Kodiaks shot deflects behind the Drumheller net in action at the Encana Arena. By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks and Drumheller Dragons are a near perfect match for the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) exhibition season. Although Camrose won the first two games, the teams have shown to be evenly matched so far on the ice. The Kodiaks won 4-3 at home and 3-2 in Drumheller. “I was happy that we could close it down once we got the lead, but I was happy with about 50 per cent of our play,” said coach Clayton Jardine. “That is going to happen since we haven’t played five-on-five hockey against another team since last March.” Camrose scored two goals in the first and third periods to win at home on Oct. 10. Lynden Grandberg netted the winner on a penalty shot after he was hooked on a break towards the Dragon’s net in the third period. Ryan Sullivan, Reece Becker and Mathieu Gautier garnered the other Camrose goals. The middle frame belonged to Drumheller as they scored all three of its goals. Two tallies came from Sam Simard. “We then played two games in two nights, and the conditioning came into play. We are dealing with that

in practice. It was a combination of two games in two nights, and not enough mental stamina right now.” At times, the Kodiaks were outshot by a wide margin. “I thought we passed up on some shooting opportunities,” suggested Clayton. “That is tough to simulate in practice. You come down the ice and then look for a pass. In the game, you have to have that sense of urgency to shoot the puck.” Camrose played well on the defensive side of the games. “For the most part, our defensive game was good and Logan bailed us out a few times. But other than that, we didn’t give up much.” Kodiaks’ goalie Logan Willcott stopped 26 of 29 shots directed his way. Camrose only managed to fire 13 shots on goal, but they made the shots count. In the first game, Drumheller scored first in the opening period, but Camrose roared back with two in the middle frame to provide all of the scoring they needed to win. Brett Wieschorster and Sullivan scored for the Kodiaks. Willcott stopped 29 of 30 shots he faced, while Camrose counted 25 shots on the Drumheller netminder Ryley Osland. “Sullivan and Carson Whyte, I was very happy

with as rookies, and Logan in net, that they stood up and made a difference. The thing is they show up for work every day in practice. Their work ethic in practice correlates with how well they do in games. I knew they could be our best players because of how they have worked over the past few weeks,” added Clayton. Camrose and Drumheller will play each other two more times as cohort teams in exhibition play. The clubs will not mix with any other teams until further notice. “I wasn’t overly happy with our power play, and it started with our face-offs, so we are working on that as well. Not just winning them as a centre, but as a five-man unit.” Coach Clayton said the Kodiaks and Drumheller match up well because they are similar, in having good goaltending, good team defence with veterans and some upcoming rookies up front. The Dragons and Kodiaks will play Oct. 23 in Camrose, and Oct. 24 in Drumheller. All games in both arenas begin at 7 p.m. Limited tickets are on sale at the arena office. No phone orders will be taken. A total of 100 tickets will be sold and there is a limit of two tickets per person.

Adele was born near Rolly View on her parents’ (Emanuel and Hilda Roth) farm on August 2, 1928. When she was seven, they moved to the Armena district where she went to school. She passed away peacefully at Seasons Retirement Community with her son Jim by her side on October 13, 2020. She loved being grandmother to Devin, Kendra, and Brendin. She worked for many years as a Nurse’s Aid at Rosehaven. After taking an early retirement, she had time to travel with friends. The highlight of her life was a seniors’ trip to the Holy Land. Adele took great pride in her house and yard filled with flowers and shrubs, for which she received a Communities in Bloom award one year. She also loved hosting Christmas and other holidays with her family around her. She was a strong member of Messiah Lutheran Church, as well as the Camrose Senior Centre. A loving Mother, Grandmother and Aunt, she will be greatly missed by her sons Jim Jensen and Jack (Connie) Jensen; grandchildren Devin, Kendra, and Brendin; nephews and nieces Dwayne (Linda) Roth, Doug Roth, Debbie (Ken) Pointkoski, Marlene (Chris) Cormack, Gail Watson (Ron Bales) and their families.

The Life of

Elnora Irma Mitts April 14, 1941 ~ October 7, 2020 Elnora was born on April 14, 1941 in Dodsland, Saskatchewan as the second child to Leonard and Betty Olsen. Elnora spent her first seven years in Saskatchewan on the family farm. There were a few moves across the central prairies after coming to Alberta, but for Elnora her most memorable times were in Camrose and Carstairs. Elnora grew up in a Christian family and learned to love the Lord at a young age and was baptized as a teenager in 1956. Her growing up years were fondly remembered as fun and content, but were also a lot of work helping her Mother with great ability, usually in the kitchen. Elnora and her older brother Harvey were close in age and were inseparable for many years. Elnora loved being an older sister to Sharon, but when her youngest sister was born in 1950, she dependably cared for Bonnie like she was her own little living dolly. Elnora loved attending youth group, summer camp and going to school. She received her High School Diploma in 1959 in Camrose while living with and caring for both her grandmothers. Elnora went to Alberta Bible Institute and especially enjoyed touring with the choir. While working at Rosecrest Children’s Home in Edmonton, a Nursing Supervisor told Elnora she had a natural gift for helping and serving others, and encouraged her to become a nurse. Elnora trained as an RPN at the Provincial Mental Institute in Edmonton, Alberta, graduated in 1964 as Valedictorian of her class, and received the General Proficiency in Psychiatric Nursing Award. While visiting a close friend in Hay River, NWT and getting some northern hospital experience, she met Raymond Mitts … who quickly arrived on the scene when he heard there was a lovely young nurse in town. Elnora and Ray had a short courtship before beginning their married adventure together up north. Their wedding took place in Trochu, Alberta in March, 1966. Elnora was so pleased to take a month-long honeymoon trip “back east” with her new husband in their Volkswagen Beetle to Niagara Falls, Ontario, and to meet Ray’s family. He was so very proud of her! From Elnora’s Travel Journal: “We drove enthusiastically home to our little house in the Channel. Ray carried me over the threshold and I got the first glimpse of our new home – I loved it immediately!” Elnora and Ray enjoyed many good times with family and friends in Hay River, a highlight being part of the NWT Centennial Choir and singing for the Queen. Elnora was an efficient homemaker, happy wife and mother to three children. They welcomed Steven Randall in 1968, Rhonda Jeanne in 1970, and Sharelle Denise in 1972. In 1974, Elnora and Ray decided to move to BC, and eventually settled in Terrace for some wonderful growing up years. When a move to Alberta brought the family to Camrose in 1981, Elnora resumed her nursing career at Rosehaven. It was a challenge for everyone at first, but having Elnora’s family nearby was a huge consolation. The care centre began to introduce a computer charting system in 1996; this was when Elnora figured it was time to hang up her uniform and retire. Elnora had many skillful abilities and hobbies and was more than capable at most things she tried. She thoroughly enjoyed cooking and baking, gardening and canning, sewing and doing crafts, and, of course, singing. She was a genius with a can of paint and a roll of wallpaper! She enjoyed volunteering at her children’s school as a chaperone and was a good sport on field trips, and at church as a Sunday School teacher. She helped with many school projects and encouraged her children to do their best with their studies … she was a terrific essay and assignment editor. The Mitts family moved many times over the years, and Elnora made each home a charming one every time. She could set up a newly moved-into house instantly – and had been known to have neighbours over for tea the evening of moving day! Ray and Elnora invested in a fifth wheel trailer and it became an extension of their home. They particularly enjoyed camping in the fall, going on new adventures together, and really enjoying one another’s company. She was involved in numerous church activities and committees, her favourites being a Bible study leader and a funeral lunch helper. Family gatherings, especially with her own parents, were important to her. Elnora was pleased to see her children grow up, further their education and choose well-suited and Christian spouses. Elnora was thrilled to become a Granny! She spent many hours reading books, doing crafts, having tea parties and playing games and puzzles with little ones once again. Elnora continued to love her family as she cared for her aging parents, and then looked after Ray, who sadly developed Parkinson’s Disease. Once a nurse, always a nurse. She said he was not hard to look after because he was always so grateful. They had a good life together, but “forty-seven years was not long enough”. Elnora experienced difficulty after Ray’s passing in 2013, but she did her best to fill her days spending time with her sisters, other family and friends. Elnora often attended school, music and sports events, and was pleased to learn about all her grandchildren’s accomplishments. Unfortunately, Elnora developed Dementia, but even with memory loss and confusion, her true personality of charm and grace and witty sense of humour were still apparent. She was polite until the very end. She loved the Lord deeply, which shone through her entire life. Elnora passed away peacefully at age 79 on October 7, 2020, at Seasons Retirement Home with family at her side. She will be remembered and cherished by her children – Steve (Cheryl) Mitts of Camrose, Alberta, Rhonda (Leo) Zimmerman of Camrose, Alberta, and Sharelle (Greg) Wiebe of High River, Alberta; five grandchildren – Raelene and Kaitlin Mitts, Hope and Josie Zimmerman, and Connor Wiebe; brother Harvey (Gail) Olsen of Bullhead City, Arizona; sister Bonnie Ebel of Three Hills, Alberta; brother-in-law Merv Gerber of Bashaw, Alberta; and many family members and dear friends. She was predeceased by her husband Raymond Mitts; her parents Leonard and Betty Olsen; her sister Sharon Gerber; brother-in-law Allan Ebel; and grandson Brendan Wiebe. A private family service has been held. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Murray Hendrik Van Dyke Murray Hendrik Van Dyke was born to Harry and Jean Van Dyke on May 11, 1953 in Wetaskiwin, AB. He was raised with his two sisters and one brother in central and southern Alberta, settling in Camrose following the death of his father in 1968. He was predeceased by his parents; stepfather Alphonse Briault; sister Geraldine (Ed) Altemus; nephews Brent Jackson and Anthony Paproski; and brothers-in-law Alvin Paproski and Rick Van Effen. Murray attended high school in Camrose and, following graduation, attended Camrose Lutheran College (now University of Alberta Augustana Campus). He went on to University of Alberta Medical School in Edmonton and graduated in 1978. Murray completed a residency in Family Medicine in Galveston, Texas, where he met Karen Sigurdson. They married in 1980, and spent a few months in Saint Lucia volunteering at a hospital, and then a couple of years in Hafar al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, where their son Gerrit was born. They moved to New York, where their daughter Hanneke was born in 1985, and Murray completed an Emergency Medicine residency in 1986. The family then moved moved to Arizona, where Murray and Karen divorced. Murray and Kathy Van Effen married in 1989 and, in 1990, he and the family moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, arriving a couple of days after Iraq invaded Kuwait. He and Kathy remained there until 1998, working through Operation Desert Storm. 1998 saw a move to the Pacific island of Saipan for 10 months and then back to Saudi Arabia before moving to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in 2000. He worked as a consultant for a couple of years and then became Chairman of the Emergency Department of Sheikh Khalifa Medical City. Amidst his busy career, Murray decided to pursue his MBA from George Washington University, graduating in 2007. Living in the Middle East afforded Murray, Kathy and the kids the opportunity to travel to many places around the globe, a vacation pastime that he relished. Of all their world travels, however, the place he enjoyed the most was their plot of land near Deer Lodge, Montana, purchased in the mid-’90s. It was surrounded by undeveloped wilderness and was a 45-minute drive from the nearest town. At the beginning, there were many cold nights camping in a canvas tent while preparing a plan to develop the land where it would be fit on which to build. He and Kathy would return many times between 1996 and 2019, working tirelessly alongside family, eventually building a modest cabin home. They welcomed family and friends, and many delicious meals and fun times by the fireside were had over the years. Murray cherished the rugged landscape, big sky and the challenge of building something from scratch. He loved that place and it was a testament to his creativity and determination. Murray and Kathy retired in 2014 and moved from Abu Dhabi to Leander, Texas. Murray loved to travel, loved his family, and his roots in the province of Alberta. He returned to Canada on a regular basis to visit family. He was generous, focused and determined to help out when he could. He was passionate about acting as sous chef to Kathy’s culinary expertise, and enjoyed entertaining and making sure the people he was with were having a good time. He was an avid Green Bay Packers fan and was known to fly over to the USA to meet with Gerrit and attend an important game. He and Hanneke shared a love of the Beatles and early rock ’n’ roll music. He was a keen motorcycle enthusiast, and was also very artistic; at one time, he considered a career as an artist. Murray was diagnosed with cancer in the spring of 2015. He fought a long and hard battle, and continued to value his time with family and friends. He became a grandfather to Oliver in September 2019, and found great joy in their time together. He is survived by his wife Kathy Van Effen; son Gerrit (Raquel); daughter Hanneke (Andrew Williams); grandson Oliver; sister Nadine (Fernie Jackson); brother Mark; nephew Randall; niece Meghan; stepbrother Jacques Briault and family; brothers-in-law Ed Altemus, Tom Van Effen (Amy) and Bob Van Effen (Amy); the Laseur family in the Netherlands; his best friend Ken Dittrich; his Alberta cousins; and other friends around the world. He died at his home in Leander, Texas on October 6, 2020. A private memorial will be held when travel is safe and restrictions have been lifted … hopefully next summer. His ashes will be laid to rest beside his parents in rural central Alberta.

February 3, 1929 ~ October 14, 2020 George was born in Bodo, Alberta, on February 3, 1929, to John and Genevieve Heck. He passed away peacefully on October 14, 2020, at the age 91 years. George is survived by his children Shauna Heck of Camrose, Robert (Vicki) Heck of Daysland, and Neil (Jolene) Heck of Stettler; and grandchildren Cole, Gabby and Roan.

George farmed for the majority of his life with his wife Edna. They moved into Daysland in 1983, where he went to work for the County of Flagstaff until he retired. George was a sports enthusiast through and through. His competitive drive and work ethic made him a fierce competitor. George loved curling, baseball and all sports, for that matter. He also enjoyed playing cards and games of all sorts that involved socializing.

Vern Tweedy It is with great sadness that the family of Vern Tweedy announces his unexpected passing on October 13, 2020. Vern was born in Killam, Alberta on January 23, 1956, and grew up on the Tweedy farm north of Lougheed. In 1986, Vern married Judy, and together they moved to Camrose in 1990, where Vern began his career in real estate. Vern’s greatest joys in life were his sons, Griffin and Gage. He loved them dearly and treasured time spent with them, whether attending hockey games, cheering from the sidelines, at soccer games or Taekwon-Do competitions, or simply spending time together at home. He will be deeply missed by them both. Vern is survived by his wife Judy; sons Griffin (Ashleigh) and Gage; brother Bryan (Debbie); nieces Dani (Irene) and Crystal (James); nephew Nathan (Justis); as well as extended family. Vern was predeceased by his parents James “Babe” and Jenny Mae Tweedy; and son Jayden. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a celebration of Vern’s life will take place on a later date. Memorial donations may be made to S.T.A.R.S. or a charity of one’s choosing.

Improving surgical wait times By Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose Constituency

One of our many platform commitments was to improve surgical wait times. Alberta’s government has acted. The new Surgical Recovery Plan calls for surgical activity to reach pre-pandemic levels by fall, increasing to 125 per cent of pre-COVID levels, to up to 150 per cent as needed, by 2021. Now patients will receive the surgery they need at high-quality, safe facilities when they need it, and within clinically recommended wait times. This will be achieved through multiple initiatives, including a centralized access system and expanding use of Chartered Surgical Facilities in both urban and rural areas. Every government in Alberta since the early 1990s has utilized publicly-funded, independently operated surgical facilities. In fact, in 2018, under the previous government, nearly 40,000 surgical procedures were performed in publicly funded, independently operated facilities. These facilities allow the province to provide more surgeries at less cost than if they were performed in the hospital. Alberta’s government ran on a platform commitment to reduce surgical wait times to within clinically recommended wait times by 2023, and that’s exactly what is going to happen. You will have the best access to scheduled surgery in Canada by 2023, and this will all be accomplished at no cost to the patient, as these are all publicly-funded procedures. Alberta’s government is steadily increasing the number of surgeries performed in the province into next summer to reduce wait lists that have grown during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are also going to be grants given to six First Nations to ensure they can participate in Alberta Health Service’s (AHS) upcoming request for proposals and be part of Alberta’s plan to improve access to surgeries. Palliative care is another important issue that affects many families here in our community. Palliative care helps to preserve the dignity of the individual by affirming their life and by providing spiritual, emotional, and family support at a very difficult time. Alberta’s government has announced the first $6 million in funding that will eliminate the co-pay for end-of-life drugs and establish new group supports, including in-person, online, and Alberta’s first telephone grief line. Alberta’s government believes Albertans deserve to spend their final moments in comfort. They support palliative care as part of a publicly funded health system that affirms the dignity of every individual, including providing high-quality clinical care along with spiritual, emotional, and family support. My colleague, Dan Williams, MLA for Peace River, has been appointed to consult with stakeholders and Albertans to help inform plans to allocate the remainder of the $20 million in government funding for palliative care over the next three years. I plan to bring him to the constituency of Camrose so you can be consulted on these important decisions as well. I’d be remiss if I did not thank the hard-working truckers throughout Camrose area. September 6 to 12 was National Trucking Week, and we can all take this opportunity to thank truckers for all they do to keep our region moving. Truckers haul our canola, meat, petrol, and even the clothes on your back. Truckers are among the hardest working women and men performing essential work that keeps Alberta’s economy going. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office at 780-672-0000 or email at Camrose@assembly.ab.ca. As always, it is my honour to serve as your MLA. You can contact Jackie Lovely, Camrose MLA, at Constituency Office, 104, 4870-51 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1S1. Tel: 780-672-0000, camrose@assembly. ab.ca or at Legislature Office, 6th Floor, 9820-107 Street, Edmonton, AB, T5K 1E7.

You decide top budget items By Murray Green

You have a say in democracy in Alberta. If you don’t like the direction the budget is going, then tell the government your ideas. Alberta’s government is asking Albertans to help set the direction of the upcoming budget. The world has changed since the last provincial budget in February. Alberta now faces a very different set of circumstances and unique challenges. Albertans can share their views and priorities for the province by taking part in an online survey and telephone town halls with finance minister Travis Toews. “I’m looking forward to working with Albertans as we develop a fiscal plan that enables the sustainable delivery of services to Albertans now and into the future. The province’s deficit and growing debt

clearly show that fiscal responsibility and accountability to Alberta taxpayers is more important than ever. I encourage all Albertans to provide their input and help shape the future of our province,” said Toews, president of the treasury board and minister of finance. Alberta’s government is interested in Albertans’ spending priorities, as well as their ideas about where to look for savings and how to strengthen the economy. The online survey is now live until Dec. 4, and the telephone town halls will take place on Nov. 30, Dec. 2 and Dec. 3. More information is available at alberta.ca/Budget Consultation. Minister Toews will be touring communities across the province to hear directly from Albertans. Stay tuned for details on how to participate in your community.

Alberta’s government will also be launching a digital ‘build a budget’ tool in mid-November that will ask Albertans to make choices about spending and revenue and then show the resulting impacts on the overall budget. Alberta is confronted with an extreme fiscal challenge after being hit by a triple threat: the global health crisis, worldwide economic depression and the collapse in oil prices. Alberta’s government recognized the severity of the situation and was the first province to announce a plan for economic recovery. While Alberta’s Recovery Plan is getting people back to work and positioning the province for future economic prosperity, Albertans must make some difficult decisions and take steps to improve government finances.

Royal Purple ready to serve By Murray Green

The Canadian Royal Purple Society (CRPS) president MaryLou McCarthy visited Camrose to help the local club launch its return to service after several months in hiatus. “This is my official visit

to come out,” added MaryLou. “I try to find out what they have done, and if they are struggling, to have fundraisers during this time and offer some advice.” She wants to keep in regular contact with the various clubs. “I want the

Royal Purple national president MaryLou McCarthy visits.

to Camrose. Every three to five years, we (presidents) visit all of the lodges in Canada to let them know what is going on at the national level,” said MaryLou, who was installed last July in Regina. She is from Elbow, Saskatchewan, so she understands the importance of clubs in smaller centres. “With COVID this year, it is hard for the lodges to get out and have their meetings. I sent out a letter to find out who is starting again, and that is when the Camrose lodge invited me

lodges to know that business is done differently now and they have to think outside of the box. Fundraising is difficult this year, but there are still ways of fundraising for the charities they support. It is just thinking differently.” She suggested virtual events, a charity auction over several weeks, virtual ticket selling, raffles and steak suppers where people can go out over several weeks to avoid everyone going at one time or even as takeout orders. “It is extremely impor-

tant right now for us to remain strong. We encourage the ladies to get together for social distancing to connect with one another again. The small lodges need to just have a meeting and talk to each other,” shared MaryLou. “Royal Purple in Canada is the fastest growing service club right now. Even though we have had setbacks because of COVID, we are 63 lodges strong from BC to Ontario, and we have added some new lodges in the last few years.” In 1914, the Royal Purple was the female auxiliary to the all-male Elks Club of Canada, complete with their own uniform and nearly religious adherence to rituals and formal rites of operation. When the public no longer accepted gender divisions in their community institutions, and developed an aversion to ceremonial protocols, a choice had to be made by the Royal Purple. In 2014, the CRPS was created as an independent, all-genders, all-ages (membership starts at 14 years old), all-inclusive new charitable organization. Each chapter still enjoys a good working relationship with the Elks Club, they still use purple as a theme colour, but they are free to raise money or volunteer hours for whichever causes matter most to their local membership. MaryLou McCarthy started her Royal Purple journey 42 years ago in Medicine Hat. Even during her studies at Mount Royal University and the University of Calgary, she transferred to Calgary to serve as president.

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.

Diploma exams will be optional

Join Fix Auto Camrose – A Division of Lamb Ford

COLLISION CENTRE ESTIMATOR / JR. ESTIMATOR (full-time)

By Murray Green

Grade 12 students may not have to write diploma exams this November. Alberta Education Minister Adriana LaGrange is making diploma exams optional this fall. “Teachers have advocated for a suspension of provincial testing programs since the summer, in light of COVID-19, and we are pleased to see the minister make the right choice. COVID has created so much uncertainty and anxiety in schools, and many students and staff are missing large chunks of school time as a result of requirements to quarantine or self-isolate. Diploma exams would not be fair to students and, this year in particular, would not produce reliable results,” said ATA president Jason Schilling. Teachers are also worried that the pressure of diploma exams might induce symptomatic students to attend school when they should stay home and isolate instead. Schilling added that provincial testing should be suspended for this entire school year. “The priority for this year must be on student wellness and well-being. We would have preferred a clear and definitive decision that took all provincial testing off the table this year, but this is an important first step,” Schilling said. Currently, provincial achievement tests (PATs) in Grades 6 and 9 can still be implemented at the discretion of individual school divisions, but Schilling reminds parents that they can exempt their own children from writing PATs. A recent survey of teachers found that three in five teachers strongly disagreed with the continuation of PATs in the current school year, while only 10 per cent agreed with maintaining them. With regard to diploma exams, 18 per cent of teachers supported maintaining the program, and nearly half of teachers disagreed strongly with their use this year. The Alberta Teachers’ Association, as the professional organization of teachers, promotes and advances public education, safeguards standards of professional practice and serves as the advocate for its 46,000 members.

One difference between men and women is that when a woman says, “Smell this,” it usually smells nice. I finally found out why I look so horrible in pictures. It’s my face. Some people should use a glue stick instead of chapstick. Why couldn’t the toilet paper cross Marler Drive? It got stuck in a crack! To the guy who stole my glasses: Do not underestimate me. I will find you. I have contacts. We all get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads. So, I’m not fat, I’m just really intelligent. Since my head can’t hold any more, it’s started filling up the rest of me! I hate it when my wife says, “Are you listening to me?!” Such a random way to start a conversation. Zoom meetings are basically modern séances. “Elizabeth, are you here?” “Make a sound if you can hear us.” “Is anyone else with you?” “We can see you, can you hear us?” Me: “How many loads of laundry does this hold?” Ken’s Furniture Salesperson: “Ma’am, this is a dining room table.” Me: “And?” If the No. 2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still No. 2? Cook a teen a meal, and they’ll eat for a night. Teach a teen to cook and you’ll be cleaning the kitchen for the next week.
