The washrooms are located in Downtown Camrose just south of the Post Office. By Lori Larsen

Members of the Camrose Arts Society are delighted to be able to add to the colourful, vibrant ambience of Downtown Camrose with the commissioning of a full-size mural on the Downtown public washrooms located in the parking area just south of the Post Office. The full-size piece is a collection of work done directly on the wall itself, and a collage of pieces completed by participants of

the workshops offered by the Society. The workshops featured Edmonton-based mural artist Pedro Rodriguez De Los Santos, providing his professional advice and direction on how to paint murals. Rodriguez De Los Santos is originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, and has been living in Edmonton, for 17 years. He has established himself as a visual artist in Alberta, completing several

An equal light day

Autumn equinox. About the same number of hours of light and dark. I once had neighbours who invited me to an Equal Light Party. I thought that was just an excuse for a party. Turned out they were seriously celebrating this day of approximately equal hours of light and dark. My neighbour was interested in astronomy and I learned lots. It’s also harvest season. This year, it’s not a harvest season that’s filled with joy in East Central Alberta. It’s also the day after the completely expensive and unnecessary federal election. As I’m writing this, I don’t know the results. What I do know is that, whatever the results, I don’t like it. I’m underwhelmed by all the choices. I could not make myself not vote, but wished “none of the above” had been an option on the ballot. Yep, I’m cranky. Actually, I’m beyond cranky. I’m fullout angry. You too? ***

One day last week, I had a Zoom appointment with a colleague. It happened to be the day when the head of our provincial governing party announced renewed restrictions because our medical system is on the edge of being overwhelmed. My colleague and I had a specific task to accomplish during our call. Typically, we would say a few chit chat things and then get to work on the task. Chit chat? We watched ourselves spend the first 10 minutes of our call talking about how angry we were. This did not need to happen. Our healthcare workers—exhausted to the limit—are trying to manage what should never have been necessary. This misery was totally preventable. Other provinces and other countries have contained the virus and are enjoying a reasonably “normal” existence. In our province, our elected leaders chose to pander to people who do not believe they have responsibility for anyone except themselves and their preferences. ***

The people plugging up ICU beds are people who chose not to do the simple thing they could do for their own well-being. A young man with brain cancer has his surgery delayed because ICU beds are plugged up with people who don’t believe they should have to follow rules. The arrogance, the selfishness incenses me. Yep, I’m angry. Those of us who did the right thing are held hostage because of those who did not. I’m angry at those people. I am even angrier at the political leaders who pander to that crowd, at the expense of the well-being of the rest of the population–and our economy. Supposedly, opening things up prematurely was at least partly in order to help the economy. Another lockdown is devastating for small businesses and even beginning to harm the big guys. All that unnecessary pain for the majority of people in our province in order to appease the loud crowd who think public health is a freedom issue; people who believe they have no responsibility to anyone or anything except their personal preferences. ***

Okay, enough venting. My friend and I actually moved past our sputtering anger and started to talk about how we could use our anger for some useful purpose. What could we do that would have some positive impact? We didn’t spend even one minute talking about how we could influence the current lockdown. We can’t. Instead, we talked about what we could do with our angry energy that might make a positive difference somehow, somewhere, sometime. Happily, we came up with several ideas. And that changed the day. By the end of our call, we were excited about our next project. Our project may or may not make a difference. But it’s already done one thing. It turned a cranky day into a day of forward-looking positive possibilities. As we transition into the dark season of the year, may our energies be directed to what brings more light-ness into our lives. ***

Okay enough…to all the anti-maskers and antivaxers out there, that’s enough. Since the pandemic started, I and other people I know have been patient and accommodating to your point of view. At the start of this novel virus, we knew very little about its behaviour or how to mitigate it, so we cut you some slack. Since that time, we have been given the tools we need to stop this pandemic– rules and isolation and a miraculous vaccine that is proven effective and safe, despite what the noted self-appointed epidemiological expert Joe Rogan says. Libertarians, including our hapless premier, are so intent to selfishly flaunt the public weal over a perceived personal affront to freedom, they forget that their personal freedoms are provided by society at large. No man is an island, in fact, our species cannot thrive without each other. It is one thing to demand liberty (in this case, from common sense), but to actively impair healthcare workers, who, given your trajectory, will be there to help you regardless of your views when you get sick; but to obstruct the care of others is beyond the pale and the extent of my tolerance of your willful ignorance. My wife and many others have had procedures cancelled or postponed and that’s on you. People are suffering needlessly and that’s on you. Your own cohort is plugging up the ICUs, when a simple act of selflessness could have avoided that, and that’s on you. People will die, and that’s on you. The economy will continue to suffer, and that’s on you. Our unvaccinated children will continue to be at risk, and that’s on you. Listen to the experts, talk to your doctors, consult the huge volume of verified information available from sources like AHS. If that doesn’t convince you, or if you are too blinded by your ignorance, then grab your ivermectin and hole up in a cave somewhere. Tim Belec, Camrose Sad day

It truly is a sad day when government, businesses, sport and recre-

ation facilities or ordinary citizens dictate what health measures are best for their citizens, paying customers, friends or extended family. Though I do not agree with mask policies, I understand wanting to enforce such measures to conduct your business and keep your doors open. However, forcing an experimental and highly controversial “vaccine” upon your patrons is absolutely atrocious. Moreover, the personal health records of anyone other than yourselves is none of your business. If you feel the vaccine and masking are right for you then great–do those things. But you have no place or right to decide what is best for me, my family or anyone else. Maybe you actually believe that you are doing a good thing, enforcing this ridiculous vaccine passport, but you are in fact doing the opposite. Besides this system being a complete violation of human and civil rights, according the Section 7 under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (The right to life, liberty and security–autonomy over one’s body), you may recall and compare it’s parallels to certain events from 1939-45. Aside from that, from December 14, 2020 to July 30, 2021, more people have died or had adverse effects and injuries from the COVID vaccine than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years. By agreeing to enforce an agenda created by a power hungry, self-serving and untrustable government, you have proven that money means more to you than human life and freedom. I cannot in good conscience support a business like that, and my family will not be returning nor would I ever recommend your company to anyone I care about. You should also be aware that the number of people on the same page as me are growing by the day. As such, I hope you are prepared to live with the consequences of your decisions and actions. Please do yourself a favour and use an uncensored web browser like duckduckgo to fact check my claims for yourself. There are many like-minded groups on Facebook and other platforms that can help you look beyond the

propaganda and fear mongering of the mainstream media to determine what is right for yourself. God bless. Tamara Morris, Hay Lakes Wind turbines

Rebuttal to Tina Kawalilak: I would like to question some of the facts in your letter to the editor. You say that wind turbines kill so many birds, but according to Nature Canada, approximately 54,000 birds are killed by turbines, but between 100 and 300 million birds are killed by domestic cats in Canada. And who is trying to control the cat population? I am not sure what you mean by solar not being reliable. Based on annual production over the last five years I have been using solar, I cannot see a significant difference in production from year to year. Now I do see differences from day to day, but that is why I am still hooked to the grid. It seems to me that the most significant change in production is caused by smoke in the air. You say that solar panels are creating massive amounts of waste, but almost 95 per cent of the panels are recyclable, not like common batteries, of which only about eight per cent are recyclable. I am speaking as a solar producer and would like to know where you get the information that solar panels need to be replaced every 10 years; mine are guaranteed by the manufacturer for 25 years, and many studies show that they can be in use for more than 30 years. With 21 panels on my roof, I produce more power in a year than I use, so I don’t even care if from November until March, they are snow covered. It is not worth the effort when the daily sunshine is so short. I consider myself a person who is just trying to do my part; I do believe the science behind humans contributing to climate change, and I would like to leave something for my kids and grandkids. I know that, especially in this climate, we are going to need fossil fuels for a long time to come, but if we can cut back, that would be great. Mike Dunnigan, Camrose

Buffaloes football returns By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes football club is back for fall action. “We have two atom teams playing six-a-side modified games, the same format that we have been playing for the past few years. Both our teams have been showing great skill and growth so far and have found many successes on the field,” said president Kim Kienitz. “Our season has started out with games in the Capital District Minor Football Association (CDMFA) south division which includes Wetaskiwin, Beaumont, Leduc and ourselves. Starting September 26, all games will move up to the Edmonton region, and we will play a variety of teams within the league,” she said. “Our peewee squad is off to a great start to the season, winning both of

their exhibition games and not allowing any points to be scored against them. This past weekend, they played at home against the Stony Plain Bombers, winning 50-0. They play nine-a-side football, which is the natural progression coming up from our atom program.” They also defeated the St. Albert Colts 28-0. The game is played on a fulllength field, but it is narrower than the traditional field. The peewees are the home team against the Sherwood Park Wolverines at Taurus Field in Fort Saskatchewan. “Coach Brad Berger and his team have done a fantastic job getting these young athletes to where they are now.” The bantam team is also off to a great start, winning their first three games. “Head coach Troy Christie and his support staff really

focused these last couple weeks to prepare for their game at home against the Fort Saskatchewan Falcons, whom they have never beat. It was a close game and

both teams played great. Our Buffaloes were able to pull off the win 27-21.” The Buffaloes beat St. Albert 45-6 and defeated Wetaskiwin 26-12.

The bantams had a bye and their next game is Sunday, September 26 against the St. Albert Fury at Taurus Field in Fort Saskatchewan.

may intrude upon you. Scammers have a variety of approaches. In our case, the first thing that caused us to fall into the scammers’ grip was how they preyed on our emotions with a crying, sobbing voice of a young man claiming to be our son. When Susan said, “Andy, is that you?” we unwittingly gave the scammers a name. Thereafter, his name was used frequently by a pretend lawyer. This made us believe he really was with Andy. Then the scammer shocked us with details about our son being charged with drunk driving causing a car crash in which a young boy suffered a broken leg; he was in jail, but if we immediately posted bail, he would be released until his court hearing. Implied were ongoing costs, legal fees, possible lawsuits. We got sucked in. The fake lawyer said things such as, “I need to go speak with him now to try to calm him down.” This was designed to make us believe he was working in our family’s best interest. When anyone gets a shocking phone call such as this, the best advice we have is to start asking questions and don’t stop asking. We were so stunned by the initial sobbing voice pretending to be our son, followed by a warm professional voice pretending to be a lawyer, that we failed to ask important questions. Had we asked just a few, the call would have abruptly ended. Likely, you will need to interrupt the scammer. The pretending lawyer, while calm and professional, had a continuous script. He left no opening for questions. We should have asked for a description of our son. His approximate age, or any personal question for which a fake caller could only give a wild guess. If the caller says something like, “Those things don’t matter at this moment,” you need to insist they be answered. Fake calls can be identified as such by asking questions that a scammer could not answer. The call could have come from anywhere. The callers don’t know who they’re contacting. Our son lives in Vancouver. Suppose we had asked, “What city did this happen in?” “In what hospital was he treated?” “What time did this occur?” (We spoke with Andy the night before and knew his up-coming schedule.) The good thing about insisting on answers to a series of questions is that almost for sure, the scammer will crumble. The bad thing is, as soon as the scammers give up on you, they turn their attack towards other innocent persons. The approach used on us is common. Someone you hold dear–a child, a grandchild, a friend–is in very serious trouble. These professional thieves gain your trust and explain in detail how you can help by providing money that must be sent without delay. We reported our experience to our local RCMP. A very kind and sympathetic officer took our statement. He told us this is a very lucrative activity. At a previous posting, an 80-year-old woman was scammed out of $20,000. Had we made the payment, it most likely would have been automatically transferred to another account, then rapidly transferred several more times. No one is immune from fraud.

SingAble offers a community choir for everyone By Lori Larsen

The all-inclusive awardwinning community choir SingAble is entering its fourth year of providing a multigenerational opportunity for voices to unite in song. “SingAble welcomes one and all to join spirits and voices for an exciting term of musical participa-

tion designed to safely suit the needs and comfort level of all singers in person or through virtual participation,” invited choir director, Augustana Faculty associate professor Ardelle Ries. On Tuesday, October 5, SingAble choristers will discover and embrace the artist within through com-

munal singing of familiar folk and popular songs, hymns, jazz, and original compositions. “With community building and the celebration of diversity at the heart of all we do, the membership will examine the dynamic nature of the human singing voice,” explained Ries.

“The SingAble community will continue to explore the wonders of multigenerational singing and enhance musical skills through singing, movement, composition, and improvisation. “In collaboration with the imaginative and innovative compositional mind of the SingAble resident

composer, Thomas Merklinger, and with the support of an inspired group of guest artists, SingAble choristers will experience the powerful relationships between music, visual art, movement, and the soundscapes of the natural world.” Continued on page 17

Planting seeds of support By Lori Larsen

Build it and they will come and use it, and they all shall reap the rewards, would be the mantra of the Camrose Association for Community Living (CAFCL) staff when they had in mind the creation of a dream garden as a way to develop some employment for the CAFCL Jobs4Youth program. “Our Jobs4Youth (J4Y) program specializes in finding employment for youth and young adults in the community who identify with a disability,” explained CAFCL Public R elations manager Cherilyn Sharkey. “With so many limitations from COVID-19, our Jobs4Youth program has experienced numerous challenges over the past year, including a loss of many employmentrelated opportunities resulting from increased restrictions.” In an attempt to think outside the box to create opportunities for young adults to gain and increase their pre-employment skills over the summer, the staff at CAFCL thought about creating a garden area that would provide not only employable skill sets and invaluable knowledge about where food comes

from, but fresh edible results as well. “A garden would provide the participants the opportunity to commit to a project and see it through until completion,” said Sharkey. “It would literally allow the participants to see the fruits of their labour, creating opportunities to teach about nutrition and whole foods.

CAFCL Jobs4Youth Douglas Bailey is delighted to reap the rewards of the Dream Garden project.

“Our summer program outline includes organizing Team Kitchens, where the participants will be able to make meals with the foods they grow, experience how seeds can come to life, and be purposeful by nourishing our bodies with healthy options.”

With the ground in which to plant available in the large green space located behind CAFCL, all that was needed was someone to assist in building the structure to contain the garden. The team at Align Builders didn’t hesitate to step up to the “plot”. “Jolene Paulson from Align Builders immediately said yes, and they built the garden within a week of us contacting them,” said Sharkey. “The garden was made wheelchair accessible, and they put up mesh so our friendly deer couldn’t help themselves to the fresh veggies.” During t he se challenging times, not-forprofit organizations such as CAFCL struggle to provide for those whom they serve with initiatives and programs while trying to keep them safe and explore new funding avenues. So when local organizations and individuals generously offer assistance, the gratitude is beyond words. “Align Builders is privileged to be able to support local initiatives,” said office manager Jolene Paulson, on behalf of the Align team. “Part of being a local business is becoming involved in our community in a

positive way. For us, this includes supporting one of the great organizations in our area.” Paulson sincerely said that the team at Align is inspired by the work that CAFCL does for fellow citizens. “We are honoured to support their efforts. Financial donations are great (and necessary), but we are always excited to put our skills into play for projects such as the basketball court and this amazing garden project for Leaders in Training (LIT).” The garden soon became the result of consorted efforts, with the CAFCL Jobs4Youth program planting and the CAFCL Leaders In Training Summer Camp youth maintaining the garden over the summer.

“The outdoor location allowed for in-person learning during the ongoing pandemic restrictions as well,” said Sharkey. “It also provided a focus on creating and developing teamwork/co-worker relationships.” In an effort to show their appreciation to the team at Align Builders, the Jobs4Youth and Leaders In Training Summer Camp youth gifted them with a plaque naming the garden the Align Park. “We truly appreciate their generosity and for always having our back,” commented Sharkey. Whether it is planting a seed in the ground or planting a seed in a mind, the end result is the same–growth is bound to happen when supported by kindness.

Unidirectional Flushing

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. 2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. 3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water colour. 4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. This year’s UDF program begins August 5, 2021, starting with Zone A (in Area 1) and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discolouration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If a discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Charles Klak at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428.

On September 15, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney declared a public health emergency for the province of Alberta referencing the rising number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, specifically in unvaccinated Albertans. New measures to protect the healthcare system, stop the spread, and increase vaccination rates came into effect starting September 16. Part of the new measures include two options for discretionary businesses and events. The first option involves implementing the Restriction Exemption Program requiring proof of vaccination or negative test result to continue operating as usual. The second option involves following business capacity and operating restrictions as outlined on the Alberta COVID-19 (www.alberta.ca/covid-19) website. Masking and physical distancing are mandatory in all indoor public spaces and workplaces. This measure extends to places of worship as of September 16. Employees must mask in all indoor work settings, except while alone in work stations. For complete details on all restrictions and requirements, visit the Prov-

ince of Alberta website at www.alberta.ca/covid-19. Now that you are COVID vaccinated and ready to move on with some normality in life, having proof of your vaccination is now available through myh ealth .alb er t a .c a/ myhealthrecords. “We continue to make it easier for Albertans to securely access their health information, including immunization records, in the palm of their hand anytime and anywhere through MyHealth Records,” explained Alberta Health minister Tyler Shandro. With the uncertainty of when, where or why Albertans may be required to show proof of vaccination, the Alberta government is strongly recommending planning ahead and saving proof of your vaccination card on your phone or print it out so you are prepared if asked. Albertans can now access a convenient cardsized proof of vaccination easily and quickly on alberta.ca/CovidRecords without creating an online account. The paper copy of the immunization record received at your vaccination appointment can also be used as proof of vaccination.

Distraught male high on drugs September 17

A local cab driver brought a distraught male to the Camrose Police station as the male claimed he was being chased by other people. The male was high on illicit drugs and his father was contacted to pick up his son. Police received a 911 call and a female could be heard in the background saying, “Stop hitting me”, and then the line was disconnected. Police were able to trace the location of the call to a rural address, where a son and mother were located. Neither person was in distress with no physical altercation having occurred. The situation was mediated for the evening. September 16

A business in the industrial area advised that the fence to their compound had been cut and a John Deere side-by-side had been stolen. Police are investigating the theft.

Lougheed Centre to follow rules By Murray Green

The Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose is adopting new health and safety requirements. That includes proof of vaccination and photo ID. “Your safety, while being able to enjoy the performing arts is important to us, which is why we’re making the decision to require vaccinations under the province’s Restriction Exemption Program,” explained Nick Beach, general manager of the Lougheed Centre. The focus at the Lougheed Centre remains one of celebrating the arts, while keeping patrons, staff, volunteers, entertainers and contractors safe. In light of the September 15 announcement from the Government of Alberta, the centre is adopting new patron safety requirements for attending events. New temporary measures introduced by the province provide two options, the first of which is to implement the province’s Restriction Exemption Program requiring proof of vaccination, or a negative test result; the second is to operate at one third of fire code capacity. The Lougheed chose to go with the first option. “Ultimately, this decision allows us to remain open and continue our journey of fostering a love of the arts, while at the same time, supporting artists, our staff, volunteers and our sponsors. In speaking with our partners and stakeholders, this decision sets us on a path forward that has the best interests of everyone involved. We thank you and look forward to seeing you soon,” said Jeffrey HeydenKaye, marketing and sponsorship coordinator. The Lougheed Centre is approaching these new requirements in a way that allows patrons who aren’t vaccinated time to get immunized or to show proof of a negative test within 72 hours for the next performances. Effective Friday, October 1, the Lougheed Centre will require all patrons, staff and volunteers to have their first, single dose of the vaccination, as long as it was given more than two weeks prior to service. The other option is to provide proof of a negative test within 72 hours of service, purchased privately. Effective Monday, October 25, attendees are required to have their sec-

The other option is to provide proof of a negative test within 72 hours of service, purchased privately. Patrons unable to wear a mask or receive a vaccination must provide documentation of medical exemption. The vaccine requirement does not apply to chil-

dren under 12. Masks are still required for children two years old and over. Patrons must show documents to staff. “While we do require proof of vaccination, we also respect your privacy and will not be storing any health or personal information,” explained Nick. Digital tickets are available to some of the performances.

ROSE CITY CURLING CLUB! Rose City Curling Club is under new management! Hello! My name is Kiren Scorah and I am excited to announce that the 2021/2022 curling season is almost here! I am overjoyed to have been given this opportunity within the Camrose community. For the last couple of seasons, I have been on the ice working hard to keep it at a competitive level, and now I would like to introduce you to some special opportunities to look forward to this winter. My goal for the year and moving forward is to bring new curlers to our sport. In my opinion, there is no better time than right now to become a curler and join some of the amazing events we are proud to host, such as our monthly Curl Jams and a golf and curling hybrid day called the Swing and Sweep! Additionally, we are building a robust new junior program for the youth in our community, so they too can learn the exciting competition of curling.

EVENTS AND PROGRAMS New!

JUNIOR LEAGUE – STARTS OCT. 18

Previously called the Camrose Curling Academy, our new Junior program aims to teach the more technical skills of curling in an environment that is fun and promotes lifelong friends and teammates. The sessions begin with a warm-up to practice the curling slide and balance. Players will then play a curling game and this will evolve into a curling league with fixed teams for the last half of the season.

Gravity Lounge 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.,

Monday to Saturday; Noon to 8 p.m., Sundays

We value your patronage and can’t wait to see you soon! – Sean and Staff

New! LITTLE ROCKERS YOUTH LEAGUE – STARTS OCT. 20

Does your young one want to learn how to curl? For those age 6 to 12, Little Rockers is the perfect way to learn curling at a young age! This 14-week program will teach the basics of curling and the courtesies of ice play with exciting and interactive instruction.

MONDAY AFTERNOON STURLING LEAGUE – STARTS OCT. 18 Sturling is one of newest and easiest curling disciplines to get into. Teams are composed of two people, and unlike all other forms of curling, there is no sweeping between the hoglines, making it a perfect spot for those with limited mobility, or curlers who want to work on their rock delivery. RCCC welcomes new and veteran curlers who want to experience the awesome format of sturling.

SWING AND SWEEP – JANUARY 28

Join us and Clubhouse Virtual Golf in our second ever Swing and Sweep! Where else can you go to play curling and golf on the same day? Last year, we had an absolute blast with this event and we hope to see more of you here to enjoy a weekend of golf, curling, drinks and a good time!

Re-Elect

AGNES HOVELAND to Camrose City Council

On October 18, Elect:

Larissa Berlin is running for City of Camrose council in the upcoming October 18 municipal election. Berlin (formerly Lehman) was born and raised in Camrose and attended Cornerstone Christian Academy from kindergarten K to grade 12. During her final year, prior to graduation in 2016, Berlin held the position of president of Student Council. In 2018, she attended MC College in Red Deer to become a hairstylist, successfully receiving her journeyman certificate in 2020. “I have a passion for working with the community,” said Berlin. “My husband and I both work in Camrose and are excited to grow our little family here.” In speaking of her platform, Berlin said that involving Camrose residents in the more important decisions made by

council is very important. “I believe that having residents know what is going on helps the community work towards better communication. This could be done through surveys, questionnaires, and going out and speaking to the community. There are also many ways to involve residents in decisions through social media.” Further to that, Berlin added that she feels one of the most important concerns in Camrose is that the community doesn’t feel like they are being heard. “We need to support our residents and let them know what is going on. Our public transportation needs some improvement for our seniors and college, and university students. Council should also focus on and support community programs and explore renovating and upgrading Camrose Public Library.” To promote growth, she said the City, including council, should focus on bringing new businesses to Camrose by promoting the close distance of Camrose to the City of Edmonton. “I also think it is important to help and support the small businesses we have in Camrose.” Berlin said the biggest fiscal challenges facing the City of Camrose are the Waste Water Treatment Plant, the new Public Works building and the Aquatic Centre building. “The best way to address these challenges is to consult more with the population in the City of Camrose so they are more aware of the costs of these projects, as well as doing a better job in incorporating their input into how the project is run.” In the same vein, she said the biggest decisions council has been part of was the new Public Works building and the Aquatic Centre renovation. “I love that Camrose has the small town feel while having most of the same amenities as a big city. I also love how our city is welcoming to people from other counties, cities, and towns. It a great place to raise a family or retire.”

Banack wants a strong County By Murray Green

Jordon Banack is a Camrose County candidate in Division 6 (Round HillKingman). “I have been a member of the Round Hill community for the past 14 years. I am a carpenter by trade and have been a part of several new builds in the community, building a small, but stronger place to live. I am also a volunteer on the Round Hill Fire Department and I enjoy helping out with other community projects put on by the Agricultural Society and Elks. I am also a part of the

Round Hill minor ball program. I choose to be a candidate for several reasons, but one thing that I would like to see is a better police presence in our County. We have the County peace officers, but there are only four of them and we have a big area for them to cover. I would also like to see ways of cutting spending on vacant properties that the County owns that may be able to be sold off,” said Banack. “I believe that all elected officials have a responsibility to represent their constituents’ opinions and concerns

at council. The challenge is to ensure that what is taken to council is an aggregate of as many residents’ concerns as possible and not just those of the vocal minority. I plan to do this by making myself available to as many people as I can by attending many community functions, as well as reaching out to residents individually over the phone and in person,” explained Banack. “The issues that concern me most with the County are policing, like I said before, as well as cutting spending in certain parts, but also looking at things and possibly increasing spending where it is needed,” added Banack. “I believe the County is a great place to live and we have a lot of small hamlets and villages. I think if we were to advertise about how great it is to live in these small communities, it would be a good start for bringing growth. Since our County

is a big farming area, we also need to focus on working with agriculture producers on possibly bringing new facilities to the area,” he added. “Possibly the largest fiscal challenge we face now is the loss of tax revenue from oil and gas companies that have been hit hard by the downturn in the economy over the last few years. Diversifying and expanding the tax base would be essential in order to replace the lost revenue, as well as reducing financial dependency on any one industry. Reviewing all approved and upcoming County expenditures would also need to be done in order to help identify efficiencies and look for ways to reduce or delay spending as much as possible. It is essential that the council remain fiscally responsible while working to ensure

• • • • • •

that all the County services on which our residents depend can be maintained,” said Banack. “It’s hard to say what decision that council has made in the past four years has been most impactful, depending on how a person looks at it. I would say working alongside the City of Camrose has had the biggest impact on the County and its residents. As long as council can keep a good partnership between the City and County, that would be a great way for growth in both communities,” said Banack. “The things I cherish most about being a County resident are being from a small community where you are able to know neighbours and being a part of the small town events, as well as being able to enjoy the peace and quiet of a small town.”

Questions posed to the Camrose County candidates: How do you plan on involving residents in the decisionmaking processes within the County? What are some of the most important issues/challenges regarding the County that you feel can be addressed through council? How would you promote growth within the County, particularly bringing industry/employment to the area? What are the biggest fiscal challenges in the area, and what do you envision as the best way to address them? In your opinion, of what decision has council been a part in the past four years that has had the most impact on the County? What do you cherish most about life in Camrose County?

Carlene Wetthuhn

Carlene Wetthuhn is a Camrose County candidate in Division 5 (Bawlf-Ohaton). “I’ve been a resident of Camrose County for 12 years. We were familiar with Camrose County and wanted to raise our children in a rural setting, and were attracted to what the County had to offer. I am currently a part of two great local businesses, providing administrative and

accounting support. I have a varied background in the drilling and environmental sectors of the oil and gas industry. I believe I can offer a new perspective on issues concerning the County and add diversity to the current council,” said Wetthuhn. “Social media and online presence are becoming more important and more widely utilized by all age groups. The County website is full of information on public works projects and both the business directory and Food Artisans page are great. I’d like to make residents more aware of this. Social media can be used to spread positive information and encourage community engagement. I want residents to be comfortable enough to reach out with concerns or feedback, and they are welcome to contact me by phone, text or email,” she added. “Taxation is the most prevalent concern that people have expressed to me. Where are our tax dollars going and are they being used effectively? We all want our

infrastructure to be in tiptop shape, but we know that comes at a cost. Providing the best services, while keeping taxes reasonable, is the ultimate goal. Rural crime is also at the forefront of our minds. This is affecting rural municipalities all over the province, and Camrose County is not exempt. Crime prevention and policing are at a heightened level of importance to us all,” explained Wetthuhn. “Promoting both business development and residential growth go hand in hand. If you want to encourage people to move to Camrose County, you have to ask yourself where will these people work, where will their children go to school, what does the community have to offer or attract them? If we are trying to promote business development, the same thinking applies. Promoting diversity within industry is important. We have the advantage over urban centres in that we have land and space; promoting our advantages is key to growth,” suggested Wetthuhn.

“Fair and equitable funding to rural municipalities from higher levels of government is a challenge. With record debt at both provincial and federal levels, will there be potential cuts or loss of grant funding in the future to balance budgets? There could be a greater burden placed on municipalities to cover costs that were previously funded at a provincial level. Funding shortfalls ultimately affect taxpayers in reduction of services or increase in taxes and we’ll need to find a balance. Increasing the tax base is vital,” said Wetthuhn. “Reaching the agreement with the City of Camrose on fire and protective services and recreation funding was an important decision that impacted all residents. I know the council and administration worked hard to reach an agreement that residents can be happy with,” she said. “I cherish my neighbourhood and the sense of community it has. I love knowing who my neighbours are and how we all support each other.”

Colour the Underpass Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster On September 11 and 12, local artists of all ages and skill sets were invited to add colour and life to the hard concrete walls of the 48th Avenue pedestrian underpass with the Colour the Underpass event. The event was part of the Create a Splash 2021 Creative Community Collaborative weekend highlighting arts and culture of Camrose. The City of Camrose Culture and Recreation Department developed the Colour the Underpass project as a way to not only bring out inspiring local artists to showcase their talent, but also a way to connect community to arts and culture. The underpass consists of 50 panels (canvasses) that allow different groups or individuals to display their works. The Culture and Recreation Department hopes to continue the project featuring different groups and individuals. Photo to left: Strome artist Lyndy Nauenburg paints a colourful skyscape on one of the underpass panels.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Apparently artists come in all life forms, including dogs. Piper, the five-month-old German shorthaired pointer and English setter cross, sat tall and proud beside his contribution (a purple paw print just off his right shoulder) to the artwork displayed on the panels of the pedestrian underpass, while owner Sara Walkey (not pictured) filled in the rest.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Six-year-old Avery Harte was so excited to be able to put her own artistic flare on the walls of the pedestrian underpass. When she heard the City was welcoming local artists to come out and share their talents to help brighten up the underpass, she said to her mom, “I’m an artist.” So Avery accompanied by mom Katelyn (not pictured) joined other local artists on September 11, putting brush to paint to the canvas (in this case, concrete walls).

Thunderbird not a designed sports car By Murray Green

Glen Knoll of Camrose owns a 1966 Ford Thunderbird that wasn’t designed to be a sports car. “I picked up this car last year, just south of here. I always liked the looks of the Thunderbird and my dad was a Ford fanatic. It was at the right price too,” explained Glen. The Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a personal luxury car produced by Ford from model years 1955 to 1997 and 2002 to 2005 throughout 11 distinct generations. “I replaced the interior parts with brand new products, but kept the look as original as possible,” he added. “It has a 390 engine with a 290 transmission, so it can get up and go. It is a nice riding car and it just floats along,” Glen said. Introduced as a twoseat convertible, the Thunderbird was produced in a variety of body configurations. These included a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared

FUN FACTS

The fourth generation Thunderbird was restyled in favour of a more squared-off appearance, which was mostly evident when viewing the car from the side or rear. Hinting at its roots in the previous generation of Thunderbird from which it evolved, the new model retained a similar grille design with quad headlights. The new Thunderbird continued to be offered in hardtop, convertible, and Landau versions. The 300 horsepower 390 V8 continued as the standard engine for the Thunderbird. It was paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. For 1965, sequential turn signals were added, flashing the individual segments of the broad, horizontal tail lights in sequences from inside to outside to indicate a turn. Also new for 1965 were standard front disc brakes and doubled-sided keys. Though it was the last year of the generation, 1966 had a stylistic revision for the Thunderbird highlighted by a new egg crate-style grille with a large Thunderbird emblem at its centre and a single-blade front bumper. The rear bumper was restyled to include new fullwidth tail lamps. Engine choices were also revised for 1966. The standard 390 V8 equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor was rated at 315 horsepower. Newly optional and taking the top position for performance was a 345 horsepower 428 V8. The optional 428 engine cost about $86 over the base engine. This was the last year for the convertible until the retro models of 2002.

these cars; he worked at Koch Ford Lincoln and he brought one home. However, my mother wouldn’t let him keep it and he had to get a station wagon instead,” Glen laughed. “So that brings back some memories. I really like the old cars. The new ones all look the same, no matter the shape or make. At least these have some metal on it.” Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was not marketed as a sports car. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it is credited in developing a new market segment–the personal luxury car. Glen drives the car for special outings such as on Sunday afternoons, and he attends a few car shows in most years. “I’m thinking of selling it, because I’m looking for a 1958 Thunderbird. I like those even better. They have round tail lights and squared-off double headlights. I just like the looks

of them. I’ve had Mustangs before, a 1970 Mach 1, and I turned it into a stock car,” he added. Glen raced sprint cars for 18 years and still goes to tracks. “I wish I had all of the cars we turned into stock

cars back in the day,” he chuckled. The word “thunderbird” is a reference to a legendary creature for North American indigenous people. It is considered a supernatural bird of power and strength.

QUICK LANE WE TAKE CARE OF YOU

By Lori Larsen

One of the worst habits operators of motor vehicles can get into is following too closely to the vehicle in front, a habit that is not only unlawful but can be extremely dangerous and costly. You may think you have plenty of time to react should the vehicle ahead of your vehicle stop abruptly, or you glance away for a second only to find out the vehicle in front of your vehicle is stopped or slowed down, but in essence you don’t. The Use of Highway and Rules of the Road regulations (Division 5) states with regards to overtaking and passing: Section 18(1) A person driving a vehicle shall not drive the vehicle so as to follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent having regard for the following: (a) the speed of the vehicles; (b) the amount and nature of traffic on the highway; (c) the condition of the highway. (2) Other than in a funeral procession, a person driving a vehicle in a caravan or motorcade on a highway outside an urban area, hamlet or a builtup area along the highway shall leave sufficient space between that person’s vehicle and the other vehicles in the caravan or motorcade so as to enable a

Allan Hartley Nordin May 10, 1938 ~ September 14, 2021 Allan was born in Camrose, Alberta to Glen and Ruth Nordin. As a boy, he enjoyed the farm life with his sister Marlene and brother Don. He liked to hunt and trap in the river valley and help his dad on the farm. On December 28, 1956, he and Margaret Sutton went on their first date. They were married on June 9, 1958. He worked various jobs at the Grain Elevator and Stelco, but his desire was always to be a farmer. They happily purchased and moved into their home in 1966, a beautiful farm in New Norway, Alberta, across the valley from the farm on which he grew up, and he and Marg raised their four boys there. Allan was involved with the Christian church and Cornerstone Christian School, and was always there to help friends and family with anything that he could. The most important things to him were faith in Christ, family and friends. He enjoyed the time he spent with his kids, and loved to share in all their life experiences. He especially loved having everyone together for Christmas, and he took the opportunity every year to share the true meaning of that special day. He always took time to spend with his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, and was so proud of each of them. He was a warm and generous man, who was well liked in the community and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. On September 14, 2021, Jesus came and took him home to be with Margaret and his parents once again. Left to cherish his memory are his children Jim (Grace) of New Norway, Kevin (Janet) of Red Deer, Brad (Denise) of Fort Saskatchewan, and Ben (Jenna) of Leduc; twelve grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and siblings Marlene (Allan) Brager of Camrose, and Don (Clarice) Nordin of Camrose. A private family service will be held at a later date. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Allan’s memory may be made to Hope Mission, the Mustard Seed, or to the Salvation Army.

Janet Alfhild Syms

Ronald Alfred Berkholtz October 11, 1942 ~ September 9, 2021 Ronald passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 9, 2021, at the age of 78 years. Ron was born in Wetaskiwin on October 11, 1942 to parents Leo and Helene. He was raised on the family farm in Hay Lakes with his two older brothers, Lawrence and Irvin. As an infant, Ron was baptized in both German and English, and he was later confirmed at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church in 1957. Ron truly thrived at his family farm and later applied the knowledge and perseverance he learned to his own farm in Hay Lakes. As a young man, Ron was also an avid fastpitch player for the local teams. While still working his own farm, Ron also worked on the rigs, and then later at Union Tractor. In 1985, he made the decision to sell his farm and moved on to his job at Fountain Tire, to which he dedicated nearly 30 years of his life. Ron met the love of his life, Beverley, and they married in December 1991. With his marriage, he gained a large family, including Bev’s four children aged 11 to 23, as well as her extended family. He was a natural fit and soon became a Grandfather as well – a role that he and Beverley both loved and nurtured. He kindly shared his knowledge, guidance and love of all things outdoors with his family. He was quick to fix anything that needed a strong hand and shared his passion for horses and gardening as well. Time spent camping, fishing, horseback riding and working on his fruit trees was always time well spent. Ron had a personality that made everyone feel welcome and at ease. He took time for fellowship with his friends, brothers and church members. Ron’s faith was unwavering and integral to his life. He was always dedicated to the church as a member of the men’s breakfast group, healing room, communion and serving as a greeter for Sunday service. He was baptized in the River Jordan in Israel alongside Beverley in 2007. The family would like to thank Diana and the staff with Camrose Home Care who assisted Bev and her family in the final month of Ron’s life. A special thank you to St. Mary’s Hospital for their support during his week in hospital. We find comfort knowing that Ron has gone on to meet his Lord and Savior, and we can envision him tending to the wonderful fruit trees in Heaven. Ron was predeceased by his parents, brother Lawrence, and his great-grandson Weston. He is survived by his wife Beverley; stepchildren Douglas (Kathleen) Fossen of Spruce Grove, Brenda (Robert) Broen of Springbank, Steven Fossen (Michelle Watt) of Fairview, and Amber Fossen (Ryan Weiss) of Bawlf; many grandchildren; brother Irvin (Joyce) of Camrose; and sister-in-law Irma Berkholtz of Camrose. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 16, 2021 from Solid Rock Lutheran Church, 4501-52 Avenue, Camrose, with Rev. Collin Hauch officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Ronald’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

June 4, 1930 ~ September 12, 2021 Janet Alfhild Syms of Edmonton, Alberta, formerly of Freemont, California, passed away on Sunday, September 12, 2021, at the age of 91 years. Janet was born to Johan (John) and Hildur Naslund, Swedish immigrants who came to Canada in 1918 from Minnesota, USA. She was born on the family homestead near the hamlet of Hay Lakes, southeast of Edmonton. Janet was the youngest of eight children – five boys and three girls. Janet loved growing up on the farm, and especially loved the horses. As the youngest, she did not have the same responsibilities as her older siblings, and was able to spend much more time outdoors with her father than her two older sisters did. Janet received her early education at the Swanhills School, a one-room school not far from the farm. The children would walk to school in the spring/fall, and ski to school in the winter. At one point, while attending Swanhills School, Janet was taught by her older cousin, Mary Grue (nee Lofgren). She received her high school education at Camrose Normal School (now University of Alberta Augustana Campus) in Camrose, Alberta. After graduation, Janet attended the Royal Alexandra School of Nursing in Edmonton and became a Registered Nurse, graduating in 1953. Janet nursed in various places, including Edmonton, Grande Prairie and Vancouver, before eventually heading to San Francisco, California in 1958. She was supposed to be accompanied by a nurse colleague, but at the last moment, her friend decided not to head south. Janet went anyway, as they had all the work visas, etc. in place. Janet had only planned on staying in California for a few months, but alas, this was not to be. She met a young man of Greek heritage named John Syms from Oakland, California, and her plans to head back to Canada were put on hold. Janet and John married in 1962, and shortly after moved to Fremont, California, where Janet worked at Washington Hospital. Janet’s primary passion in nursing was surgery, and she worked most of her career on the Surgical Unit, nursing pre- and post-op surgical patients. Janet retired from nursing in 1996. Janet and John did not have any children, although they had numerous nieces and nephews. They loved spending their free time in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and especially at the Longbarn, a motel resort in the mountains. In addition, they loved to spend time going for drives in the Bay area and beyond, accompanied by their much-loved dog, Cindy, and a thermos of coffee. John was an avid gun person, and taught Janet how to shoot handguns. Before long, Janet had her own gun, and they would both spend time target shooting. John passed away in 2005 after a long illness. Janet’s nursing background once again came in handy, as Janet nursed John at home, with the help of hospice nurses. Janet continued to live in the Fremont home she had shared with her husband until 2011. She was often visited by “The Boys” (Tim and John), who became her beloved companions, and later, caregivers, The “Three Amigos” went on numerous road trips to such places as Bodega Bay, Russian River, Sonoma, Yosemite, Monterey and Carmel, Big Sur and, of course, San Francisco. Their biggest trip and adventure was flying back to Canada in 2017 to repatriate Janet to the country of her birth. Janet was predeceased by her husband John, her parents and parents-in-law, and six siblings. She leaves to mourn her passing her beloved Boys, nephew Tim Grahn and his life partner John Chwyl; her sister Sylvia Lechelt; her sister-in-law Hazel Naslund; and numerous nieces and nephews. No formal service will be held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Janet’s memory may be made to Wilhelmina Lutheran Church, or to the charity of one’s choice.

Doris Louise Guest was born in Westlock, AB on January 14, 1945. She was the third oldest in a family of four children, “blessed” with three brothers. She met her future husband, Wesley Mannen, in March 1959, sharing their vows on October 21, 1961. They were graced with two children, Linda-May (Rick Szott) and Morris (Linda). Doris put the needs of others ahead of her own, taking care of everyone. Visitors were always welcome, leaving with full hearts and full stomachs. She enjoyed the company of her five grandchildren, teaching them to garden, sew, knit, and can. Doris was overjoyed when any of her thirteen great-grandchildren would come to visit. She always had the best cooking and treats to share. Doris lived a modest, yet full life and will be mourned by all those whose lives she touched. A private family service will be held.

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.

Good breakfast By Murray Green

There are many good reasons to start the day with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast and other meals and snacks throughout the day can help you and your family have more energy for school, work and play. It may also help you and your family stay healthy and lower your risk of developing chronic diseases. People who skip breakfast often have lower intakes of calcium, iron and fibre. These are nutrients for growth and health. Breakfast can be simple and still meet your nutrition needs, according to Alberta Health Services. Parents and caregivers are role models for children. Enjoy meals and snacks with your family as often as you can. Breakfast can be a good chance to share a healthy meal. Continued on page 30

Healthy breakfast Continued from page 29

Eating together can help children explore new healthy foods, establish healthy eating routines, improve their overall eating pattern and explore cultural and traditional foods. Try to prepare breakfast or set the breakfast table the night before to save time in the morning. Enjoy whole grain hot or cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk; whole grain toast, bagel or English muffin topped with nut butter and sliced banana; whole grain waffle or pancake topped with fruit and low-fat yogurt; whole grain crackers, lower fat cheese and an apple; unsalted nuts mixed with dry whole grain cereal and a piece of fruit. More great breakfast ideas include: Scramble eggs with vegetables. Top a small wholegrain tortilla with scrambled eggs and lower fat cheese. Stuff a whole-grain pita with cottage cheese and chopped fruit, or try tuna, chopped tomatoes and lettuce. Mix canned peaches or frozen blueberries with low-fat yogurt. Top with whole grain cereal. If you don’t eat much for breakfast, add healthy foods as a morning snack.

Stolen vehicle located September 15

The owner of a white Chevrolet Equinox reported to Camrose Police that the vehicle had been stolen from a parking lot on 52A Street in the 4900 block. Wainwright RCMP later located the vehicle, and a male suspect was charged with possession of stolen property. A witness reported that a vehicle was swerving on Camrose Drive and believed that the driver may be impaired. Police conducted a traffic stop and although the driver was sober, he was operating the vehicle without registration or insurance. The male was charged and his vehicle was seized.

It’s officially “Wear a Sweater in the Morning and Regret it in the Afternoon” weather. It’s that time of year when girls look really fashionable and cute in their plaid, and I look like I’ve misplaced my ax. Some day, when scientists discover the centre of the universe, a lot of people are going to be disappointed to find out it isn’t them. I went to the beekeeper to get 12 bees. He counted and gave me 13. I said, “Sir, you gave me an extra.” He said, “That’s a freebie.” Don’t ever let a recipe tell you how many chocolate chips to use. You measure that with your heart. Have you ever used a telescope? If not, you should look into it. It’s been months since I ordered the book, How To Scam People Online. It still hasn’t arrived yet. So the bills are washed, the laundry is paid, the clothes are in the oven and the last load of dinner is in the dryer. Who says I can’t multi-task? You know you’re getting older when you use the word “thingy” all the time because you can no longer remember what things are called. Y’all be careful with them masks! My cousin done fell in love with a girl who has three teeth! Thought I’d be trendy and try one of those alternative milks. I don’t know what a magnesia is, but it made my Corn Flakes taste terrible. When I see a rich, snooty looking woman at the grocery store, I pretend I need something and say, “Excuse me, do you work here?” just to help keep things real. Unfortunately, my daydreams about being skinny are always interrupted by the sound of my own chewing. Science has confirmed that the depletion of the ozone is largely due to all that hairspray used in the 1980s for those hideous big hairdos. You know who you are. Step up and acknowledge your guilt. I enjoy a glass of wine each night for its health benefits. The other glasses are for my witty comebacks and flawless dance moves. You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn’t move and should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn’t, use duct tape. Throw pillows are just grown up stuffed animals.

This very well maintained bungalow offers five bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is located close to schools and the City Recreation Centre, making it an ideal home to raise your family. A beautifully manicured yard leads to the front entry of the home, where inside you will find a large living room with a bay window seating area. The living room leads into the dining and open kitchen area. Plenty of cabinets provide great storage in the kitchen, and a patio door off the dining area will lead you outside, where you can enjoy barbecuing close at hand. The main floor has three bedrooms, which will enable small children to be close by, and a four-piece bathroom for family convenience. Head downstairs to even more living space in the fully finished basement. A large family room provides the perfect place for a large-screen television and movie or sports night.

Two more bedrooms, one with a three-piece en suite, would give older children or parents a more secluded place to call their own away from the hub of the household. A storage room and laundry room complete the lower level. The fully landscaped backyard gives room for children to play in the great outdoors, and homeowners will truly appreciate the 24’ x 24’ heated detached garage when the colder weather arrives. At the budget-friendly price of $264,900, you can call this home, located at 6219-45 Avenue, your own. Join Matthew Mayer for an open house on Thursday, September 23 from 4 until 6 p.m. or Saturday, September 25 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. For a personal viewing, contact Matthew at: Central Agencies Realty 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 Cell 780-781-7088
