Velma Irene Wedgwood

March 3, 1936 ~ June 29, 2021

Velma was born on March 3, 1936, in Kelsey, Alberta, to Oscar and Margaret Olson. She was the oldest of seven children. One of Velma’s first jobs was a babysitter/housekeeper at the store in Kelsey, Alberta, while she stayed with her grandma. It was there that Velma met her handsome and future husband. After, Velma went to Edberg to work for the Odegards, babysitting their three children.

Velma and Tom were married on August 17, 1953, at the Kelsey United Church. Shortly after, they moved to Medicine Hat and began their family. Doug, David, Judy, and Norma completed their family and began many adventures.

Velma loved to babysit and did so for many families over the years. It was a way to continue being at home with her children and having the opportunity to do the things she loved.

One of Velma’s favourite hobbies was sewing, and sewing on her Singer treadle sewing machine. Making shirts for the boys and Tom, and dresses and Barbie doll clothes for the girls were her specialty.

Camping and traveling Alberta with Tom was one of her favourite things to do. Loading up the motorhome and hitting the open roads with a little Wilf Carter playing meant that they were free to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Anyone who knew Velma, knew her love of playing cards. Norwegian Whist and Skip-Bo were her games of choice, and losing was never an option. Card parties were a regular occurrence, and sometimes lasted into the early hours of the morning.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband Tom; children Doug of Wildwood, Alberta, David (Wanda) of Wetaskiwin, Judy (Byron) Olson of Wetaskiwin, and Norma (Joel) Coykendall of Bawlf; eleven grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; siblings Victoria Stenlund of Camrose, June Johnson of Camrose, and Roger Olson of Faust, Alberta; and half-sister Louise Feth of Edmonton.

Velma was predeceased by her infant sister Shirley; as well as sister Grace Sawers; brother Vernon Olson; and half-sisters Barbara Lede and Elaine Hughes.

She will be greatly missed by all that knew her, however, there is peace in knowing she has now joined her family that departed this earth before.

A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 5, 2021 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Velma’s memory may be made to STARS, Alberta Diabetes Foundation, or to St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Edna Christina Wellman

December 16, 1935 ~ June 29, 2021

Edna passed away on June 29, 2021, after a year with cancer as a companion.

Edna was born along the Athabasca River, midway between Ft. McMurray and Ft. Chipewyan. Edna’s mother died when she was a child and, with her father’s consent, she was raised by a wonderful elderly couple, whom she soon called Mom and Dad.

With no schooling available, Edna’s education was the Alberta Correspondence School, from which she obtained a grade eight education and a lifelong love of reading and writing.

With the death of her mom and her marriage in 1959, Edna and husband Peter settled in Ft. McMurray, where they raised two children. Her father, then 88 years old, joined them until his death.

On a family move to the town of Athabasca, Edna was employed as a cook at the Extendicare Nursing Home. During this time, Edna obtained her Apprenticeship Certification as Journeyman Cook.

Another move to Camrose and Edna was employed as a cook with the Bethany Nursing Home until her retirement, when writing and bowling became her interests.

Edna was predeceased by their two children, three brothers and two sisters. Edna will be sadly missed by old friends; two younger sisters and her remaining brother, whose phone calls she treasured.

She will also be missed by wonderful, thoughtful and caring nieces and nephews, whose phone calls and visits cheered and brightened her days. Most of all, she will be missed by her companion and husband of 63 years.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 9, 2021, at Weber’s Mount Pleasant Chapel, Camrose, Alberta. Cremation has taken place, and inurnment will take place at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery on a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to Camrose Public Library or to the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter.

By Lori Larsen

On June 25, École Camrose Composite High School held a COVID-friendly Grade 12 Farewell for the 2021 graduating class and a few invited guests. The event was divided into three separate ceremonies in order to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions.

Livestreaming of the event was available for all those unable to attend due to the restrictions, which included a virtual performance by the ÉCCHS band and special messages addressing the students.

Graduating Class of 2021 valedictorian Alex Andreassen addressed the students and guests beginning with a message of thanks to parents, faculty and staff for being there to help the students through not only the many years prior to this one, but also through the past two very difficult years.

“We were truly lucky to have you during such difficult times. With the help of everyone in this school, we were able to successfully reach the end of our journey at the Comp. None of this would have been possible without your continued support, so thank you for always being there in these difficult times and never giving up on us when we needed you the most.”

Andreassen specifically reflected on the past two years and all the memories made, even during more challenging times in the world. “Four years ago, I never would’ve imagined these would be the circumstances for our graduation. Many of you may be frustrated that our last two years of high school aren’t what you expected, but regardless of the lockdowns and the restrictions, we are finally able to celebrate the end of our last year at the Comp.

“Many great memories have been made over these past four years, and I hope they will always Alex Andreassen stick with you as you move on after high school. This last year has made it difficult to create these fun memories, but I hope everyone here found a way to make the lockdowns a little more bearable.”

Andreassen went on to say how the challenges forced change, but with change came resilience. “The global pandemic made us adapt to a completely new style of learning, forcing every student, staff and family member to make immense changes in their lives. Despite all the challenges that COVID-19 put us through, every single one of us persevered through the switches to online learning, working from home, mostly social distancing, and grudgingly wearing a mask every day to class to keep us all safe.”

In conclusion, Andreassen reminded the students of the many things they have to celebrate, including the future paths that lay ahead.

“Whether your path leads you to university, college, trade school, travel or the workforce, no matter where you go after high school, I hope you can look back at today, celebrating the Class of 2021 with pride and your head held high over your accomplishments at this school.”

In a tribute to the Class of 2021 ÉCCHS Grade 12 students, Emma Thomsen and Nalyn Tindall thanked teachers, parents and friends for being a part of and guiding them through the high school journey.

“You (teachers) have acted as a source of inspiration and pushed us to grow. Your continued support has allowed us to be true to ourselves and choose the road not taken.”

To parents, they said, “We appreciate the support and advocacy you’ve provided. You’ve always been there to lend a helping hand. Thank you for the little things, like packing our lunches and driving us to school. You do so much for us that goes unrealized, and we can’t thank you enough.”

On a final note, they thanked friends. “The best memories are those made with friends, from field trips to sleepovers, study groups to parties, these are the days we’ll cherish for years to come.”

On a final note, Thomsen and Tindall paid tribute to the graduates and their hard work and subsequent achievements. “We have accomplished a great deal. Even without diplomas, we’ve faced PATs and countless final exams, rigorous classes, sports competitions, arts performances, and a worldwide pandemic. We’ve made it through the good and the bad. From kindergarten graduation to our celebration today, we have devoted ourselves to education and growth.”

Guest speaker ÉCCHS science teacher Paul Lange also offered words of encouragement to the graduating class.

In a fashion unlike ever experienced before at ÉCCHS, and with hopes for a new tomorrow that this will not have to be the norm, the faculty, staff and students of ÉCCHS celebrated not only the four years these students put in, but the determination it took to finish the past 18 months that culminated to this day.

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.

Funding supports shop local

By Lori Larsen

Communities benefit hugely when residents shop local. For the most part, the money stays in the community, supporting the local business operators and their families, local not-for-profit organizations and community services, as well as providing employment opportunities within the community.

This is not to mention the benefits experienced by the consumer: the convenience of dealing locally with businesses, a decrease in fuel costs by staying close to home, developing supportive relationships and partnerships with neighbouring businesses and benefitting from the funds and volunteering local businesses put back into the community.

The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the receipt of $60,660 of federal shop local funding that will help to continue the momentum of the Shop Local initiative and expand the Chamber’s ongoing efforts to encourage patronage of community businesses.

“This project will create awareness of the importance of shopping local and the direct impact it has on our community,” said Camrose & District Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson. “The timing of this announcement, as we look forward to getting back to business, is perfect.”

Anderson explained that the funding will support onboarding businesses onto the new ChamberMarket.ca e-commerce site.

“We are excited to offer the ChamberMarket.ca Shop Local platform to our business community. This initiative puts local shopping first and will feature the goods and services our businesses have to offer, and showcases those products to our community members.”

Open to all businesses and organizations within the Camrose trading region, funding will cover the following for the first 330 businesses: • Three to four professional photos (with a discounted package for additional photos). • One hour of assistance with onboarding and uploading product. (All products will be vetted in advance to posting.) • The one-time Bambora account set-up fee. • $25.00 Social Media marketing.

Funding for Shop Local

Continued from page 28

“The e-commerce platform provides business owners comfort in knowing it was created with small business owners in mind,” said Anderson. “We extend our thanks to the federal government for this support.

“The hospitality industry has seen a significant decrease in revenue throughout the pandemic. To support the industry, 150, $20 gift cards ($3,000) will be distributed for use in area restaurants.

The first 150 businesses to onboard will receive a gift card to use as a Shop Local promotion.

“In addition, our Christmas in Camrose campaign will put $5,000 back into the hands of local shoppers.”

Alberta Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Ken Kolby commented, “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, community chambers have truly been a lifeline for businesses.

“As we transition to reopening and recovery, we still have a long road ahead to rebuild our economy. This federal funding will help chambers do what we do best: support local job creators.”
