Members of the City of Camrose Fire Department (CFD) want alarms to go off in people’s heads when they hear an alarm go off in their homes or businesses.

CFD Chief Peter Krich said that one of the first steps in fire and CO safety is to know the sounds that different alarms make.

He advises everyone to actually test the alarm so the noises become familiar.

LISTEN… Train everyone to listen and know the alarm sounds.

LOOK… Ensure your escape route poses no risks.

LEAVE… the area immediately. Go to your safe meeting place.

Shovels were put to the ground at the City of Camrose Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on Friday, September 24, signifying the sod turning on the $51.17 million WWTP project.

The amended budget was approved by City of Camrose council on July

19 during a regular council meeting. “This is the largest project ever undertaken by the City of Camrose,” explained City of Camrose Engineering Services manager Jeremy Enarson.

City council also made a motion to negotiate a construction contract with the

low bidder, Maple Reinders Constructors (MRCL).

On September 10, the City and MRCL finalized and signed the construction contract for the planned upgrades, with the total value of the negotiated contract sitting at approximately $43.37 million.

Zucchini Wars, Part 1: Green Thumb Blues

I laughed out loud when I opened the envelope.

My brother sent me a photo that appeared in The Camrose Booster on October 8, 1996. The caption said, “Gregory and Irene Pelz, of Hay Lakes, had some fun with this 11-pound zucchini when they gave it some facial expressions and wrapped it up like a baby.” “There were a lot of babies born in Hay Lakes this year and I thought this could be our baby,” said Gregory. The photo (reprinted to the right of this column) showed Gregory holding the blanket-wrapped zucchini with bright eyes and a smiling mouth.

I laughed and then flashed back to my zucchini adventures. ***

When we moved to a house with a garden space, I was apprehensive. What I knew about gardening would fit under one thumbnail. But a neighbour convinced me to plant some seeds. Nothing exotic. Lettuce, radishes, carrots and tomatoes. In no time, I was hooked.

It seemed miraculous. You put seeds in the ground and they know what to do. Nobody has to instruct them.

They just quietly turn into plants. Amazing!

I’d go to work all excited. “The radishes are up!” People started avoiding me. I didn’t care. Gardening was therapeutic. The world might be on the edge of disaster, but when you put seeds in the ground, they know what to do. The universe is orderly after all. That was until … The Year of the Zucchini. ***

I thought I had planted zucchini, but when the plants started to produce, the vegetables didn’t look like zucchini. Instead of being dark green and long, they were pale green and round, and they didn’t seem to grow.

I told an experienced gardener about my strange vegetables that didn’t grow.

“Did you fertilize them?” she asked.

“Yes, I put fertilizer in the soil when I planted them.”

“No,” she said. “I mean did you fertilize the plants?”

“What do you mean?” “With some plants, you have to fertilize the flowers.” “You do?” I was completely puzzled.

“How do you do that?” I imagined sprinkling plant fertilizer on top of the flowers.

“Well, the flowers aren’t all the same. There are male flowers and female flowers.”

“Really?” I couldn’t believe it. “Yes. You have to fertilize the female flowers with the male flowers.”

“What? How do you know which is which?” I mean, with kittens you turn them upside down. How do you tell with flowers?

“You’ll know,” she said. “Just look inside the flower and you’ll be able to tell.” I accepted that. “So, what do you actually do to fertilize them?”

“You put the male flower inside the female flower.”

I was stunned. “You mean, zucchini have sex lives?”

This raised all sorts of questions. Do you, um, do it at night? Should you close your eyes? What if someone walks by? Do plants like privacy? Will the neighbours be offended?

Support local

This is a call to all my fellow vaccinated, who have done the right thing to protect themselves and those around them; it is time to do the right thing again.

Our restaurants and recreational outlets have taken a real beating during the pandemic, and the ones who have chosen the responsible approach now to stay open need our help. If you were like me, I was nervous even thinking about dining in at a restaurant during those times we were allowed during the past 19 months. I only did it once, constantly fretting–wasn’t an enjoyable time, wondering if anyone around my table had COVID-19. Now it’s our turn to enjoy this privilege.

There are several restaurants within Camrose requiring proof of vaccination (sadly, there are some f launting public health restrictions regarding dine-in guests) and it has been reported some are receiving harassment, protests, and even threats. Seri-

ously, what is wrong with people? These places need our support now, moving forward.

Now is the time for those of us who are fully vaccinated to exercise our rights and freedoms.

Let’s dine out, shall we?

Lori L. Blades, Camrose Free exchange

Most of us would agree that The Booster makes a valuable contribution to our community.

A free exchange of ideas is important in a democracy, so I am grateful for the Letters page. But “The Fine Print” exists for a reason. Just because it is someone’s opinion doesn’t make a letter fit to print.

These days, we are inundated with false information and it is not in the public interest for the Letters page to spread misinformation.

In the September 21 edition, a letter referred to our COVID-19 vaccines as “experimental”.

That is false. The vaccines we use in Canada ceased to be experimental when Health Canada Reprinted from the October 8, 1996 issue of The Camrose Booster

***

I went home and looked at my zucchini plants with new eyes. Sure enough, I could tell which flowers were male and which were female. Self-consciously, I put the male flowers inside the female flowers. (I felt like I shouldn’t be watching.)

And in due course, the zucchini began to swell. Somebody asked, “How come your zucchini are getting so big?”

“I think they’re pregnant.” ***

I’m still a very amateur gardener, but I know a few more things than I did when I started.

1. Things you want to grow, that you water and cultivate and fuss over, will wither and die for no reason.

2. Things you do not want to grow, like dandelions and chickweed, can withstand drought, flood, herbicides, noxious bugs and passing dogs.

3. Zucchini have sex lives.

The universe is more complicated than I thought.

I’d love to hear from you! If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com.

I’ll happily reply within one business day.

analyzed the scientific data and approved them for use. The letter states that “more people have died or have had adverse side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine than all other vaccines in the last 30 years”.

That is a shocking statement that I have not seen from any credible source. The letter goes on to state that vaccine passports are a “clear violation of human and civil rights, according to Section 7 under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms”.

That is the opposite of what I have heard constitutional lawyers say, so I asked a lawyer to read the sentence and he said it was unequivocally false. Stating that a vaccine passport gives a business access to our private health records is also false.

The letter writer is entitled to her opinion and many people will consider that opinion to be selfish, inconsiderate and uninformed. But she should not have the right to use The Booster to spread false information.

Our public health exper ts continuously tell us that vaccines are the best tool we have for keeping us healthy, keeping our healthcare system from being overwhelmed and getting our economy back on its feet. False information spreads doubts, divides society and is prolonging the pandemic. False information is causing people to die. The Booster states that letters must be in the public interest.

Surely it is not in the public’s interest to be misinformed. The Booster usually does a good job, but needs to ensure that the information on its pages is accurate.

FAMILY ADDITION

Camrose Booster File Photo Irene and Gregory Pelz, of Hay Lakes, had some fun with this 11-pound zucchini when they gave it some facial expressions and wrapped it up like a baby. “There were a lot of babies born in Hay Lakes this year, and I thought this could be our baby,” said Gregory.

It’s truly amazing how many parents went from “I don’t understand my kid’s sixth grade math homework” to an infectious disease control expert in six months due to Dr. Google…and in the words of Forrest Gump…

“That’s all I have to say about that.”

STARS Foundation presents to council

By Lori Larsen

During the September 20 Committee of Whole meeting, STARS Foundation, senior Municipal Relations liaison Glenda Farnden presented a report on the STARS Foundation and the services provided by STARS. Since STARS first began in 1985, there has been over 45,000 missions flown.

The organization provides service to all and at no cost to the patient, relying on government funding, fundraising efforts and municipal contributions.

In her report, Farnden provided statistics on the annual number of missions from 2016 (August) to 2021 (August) for areas near Bawlf, Bashaw, Camrose (hospital), City of Camrose, Edberg, Ferintosh, Hay Lakes, Meeting Creek, New Norway and Rosalind.

Near Bawlf, the statistics are as follows: 2016–0, 2017–0, 2018–2, 2019–1, 2020–1, 2021–1, for a total of 5.

Near Bashaw: 2016–0, 2017–0, 2018–0, 2019–0, 2020–1, 2021–1, for a total of 2.

City of Camrose St. Mary’s Hospital (critical inter-facility transfers): 2016–26, 2017–38, 2018–31, 2019–25, 2020–17, 2021–14, for a total of 151.

City of Camrose (scene calls): 2016–6, 2017–3, 2018–7, 2019–2, 2020–1, 2020–0, for a total of 19.

Near Edberg: 2016–0, 2017–0, 2018–0, 2019–1, 2020–0, 2021–0, for a total of 1.

Near Ferintosh: 2016– 0, 2017–0, 2018–0, 2019–1, 2020–1, 2021–0, for a total of 2.

Near Hay Lakes: 2016– 0, 2017–2, 2018–1, 2019–2, 2020–0, 2021–1, for a total of 6.

Near Meeting Creek: 2016–0, 2017–0, 2018–0,

Photo courtesy of Ross Penner A large part of what STARS does involves providing fast on scene medical care in remote rural areas, such as this motor vehicle collision in Camrose County.

2019–0, 2020–1, 2021–0, for a total of 1.

Near New Norway: 2016–0, 2017–1, 2018–0, 2019–0, 2020–0, 2021–0, for a total of 1.

Near Rosalind: 2016 –0, 2017–1, 2018–0, 2019–0, 2020–0, 2021–0, for a total of 1.

All total (average of 34 missions per year/approximately $250,000 service value): 2016–-32, 2017–45, 2018–41, 2019–32, 2020 –22 and 2021–17, for a total of 189.

“Partnership ensures that STARS can provide critical care anywhere,” commented Farnden.

She reported that during the pandemic, STARS remains under strict protocol to protect operations.

Transport physicians are committed to helping healthcare personnel to provide medical guidance, airway management and ventilation/resuscitation. “We continue to see an increase in stress related missions such as heart attack, stroke and drug overdose,” said Farnden. “STARS averages eight missions per day, and currently one in five are COVID related.

“As well, the pandem-

ic continues to impact our funding revenue.”

She said the STARS Lottery remains the single largest funding source for STARS, and despite the pandemic, the lottery not only proceeded but sold out, providing crucial operating funds.

Farnden said the Calendar Campaign significantly decreased with the inability to travel to rural communities during the pandemic.

Like many other not-forprofit organizations, STARS has had to think outside the box in developing other fundraising initiatives and, according to Farnden, had to downsize staff in certain areas.

“STARS cannot survive without community support. Rural communities like Camrose are a lifeline for STARS,” noted Farnden, adding that the Camrose Friends of STARS Diamond Dance has been a mainstay for STARS, having raised over $1 million in support.

“The City of Camrose and County see an average of three missions per month, which represents approximately $250,000 service value per year for your residents,” said Farnden.

She further explained that many rural communities recognize STARS as an essential service and therefore they provide annual support on which STARS can rely.

“Municipalities uphold a key role in giving hope and a chance for life to thousands of patients. These partnerships ensure that the highest level of critical care is available and provide for a robust health and safety network for Albertans.”

Farnden, on behalf of STARS, requested the City of Camrose join Alberta’s Municipal Partnership in recognizing STARS as an essential service and a vital asset of the Emergency Protective Services provided to Camrose residents, by considering a $1 per capita annual pledge or Fixed Budgeted Amount that would fit into the City of Camrose annual budget.

Farnden indicated that the contribution across the province from municipalities ranges from $1 to $90 per capita (annually).

Councillor Max Lindstrand said he felt that $1 per capita contribution on the City’s behalf would be reasonable.

Councillor Agnes Hoveland said, “This service has affected St. Mary’s Hospital and our Camrose community in a big way, and we have traditionally supported through community initiatives, but not through the City directly. I would speak in favour of contributing from the municipality particularly during these times when the fundraisers have not been able to be held.

Mayor Norm Mayer suggested council make a recommendation to administration to bring it forward to the new council to consider a budgetary process of a $1 per capita (donation) for STARS.

Question: If I hit an animal (dog, cat, deer, rabbit, etc.) with my car, do I have to report it to police?

Answer: The general answer to this is no, you do not. However, if the damage to your vehicle is going to be in excess of $2,000, you will need a police case number and damage sticker to get it legally repaired by a body shop. The reason for this is to make it difficult or prohibit people from repairing a vehicle that may have been involved in a criminal matter. This would include hitting a pedestrian or a parked vehicle and fleeing the collision scene. This requirement ensures people have to report significant damage to police, who can then examine a damaged vehicle, making sure it isn’t involved in any outstanding investigations.

Bamford community concert set for next May

By Murray Green

Gord Bamford plans to tour extensively with his upcoming Kick COVID In The A** Tour. He will bring all the energy and excitement of the tour to the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 7, 2022. The show was to be the kickoff to Gord’s newest Tour on September 25, but as we know, COVID kicked first, and the show date had to be rescheduled.

“COVID-19 has been hard not just on us, but everyone. It’s a lifestyle, being in the music business. We want to get out and make a living, and it’s been tough. “I am excited to get back on the road with my band. I grew up in a small town, so with this tour, going into all these towns is like going home and playing for friends.”

The country singer is always looking to give back to communities. “So many communities and organizations were affected by COVID. I am proud of the hard work everyone contributed to the Gord Bamford Foundation; their efforts helped raise funds to ease some of those hard times,” Gord shared.

The Camrose show will be no different, supported by key partners like Wild Rose Co-op, Kubota, Peavey Mart, Camrose Chrysler, New Country 98.1 and 840 CFCW. The proceeds from

COMMUNITY CONCERT

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Local country music singer Gord Bamford will be holding a concert to celebrate Wild Rose Co-op’s Fuel Good Community event on May 7, 2022 at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

the May 7th show will be used to support local organizations, who are focused on impacting children and the community.

The show is an extension of the Wild Rose Coop Fuel Good Day, held on September 21, which raised a total of $12,019.

This national initiative raises funds for community programs–in Camrose, the two local gas bars held barbecues, had interactive games with the support of the Camrose Kodiaks and the Augustana Vikings, and Gord Bamford himself.

Camrose Chrysler was on site and donated $20 from every test drive. Gord spent the day greeting fans, taking photos, and he even pumped gas. Gord made sure to bring his tour bus by for a fill-up so he, too, could contribute and support the community.

The show in May will feature Gord along with his band. The two opening acts are the Blake Reid Band and Maddison Krebs.

These two Alberta-based artists are just emerging on the country music scene, and Gord is happy to share his audience with them.

The Blake Reid Band will be hitting the stage across the street from the concert at the Casino for Gord’s exclusive after party.

The tour follows the success of his recent hit single “Heaven on Dirt” from his 10th studio album Diamonds in a Whiskey Glass. “Heaven on Dirt” has generated over three million global streams and was recognized as the “most added song on Canadian Country radio” upon its release.

Gord is one of the most awarded artists in Canadian country music history. He has an impressive 26 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) awards, including Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and multiple Male Artist of the Year awards, multiple JUNO nominations, and is the only twotime winner of Nashville’s Country Music Association (CMA) Global Country Artist (2013 and 2015).

Fire Prevention Week, sound the alarm

By Lori Larsen

This year’s Fire Prevention Week (October 3 to 9) is dedicated to “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”, educating people on the importance of knowing the exact sounds smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms make.

Camrose Fire Department Chief Peter Krich advises people to test all alarms so everyone is

familiar with the sound of each alarm and knows exactly what to do by having and practicing a Fire Safety Plan.

Everyone in the household or business should be educated on the plan including: two ways to escape each room in the home/business, in the event of smoke in the area get low and get out, have a designated meeting place

outside the home or office, never go back inside and wait for the professionals to arrive.

Be sure to join Camrose Fire Department tonight from 7 until 8 p.m. during a Drive-By Fill the Boot fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy, at the CFD Fire Hall (201 Mount Pleasant Drive).

Challengers were Dodge’s answer to fun

By Murray Green

Randy Johnson owns a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE. “I actually found the original car in Millwoods, Edmonton. I brought it back to my garage and went to work on it. I restored the car–everything except the paint itself and the transmission. I farmed out the paint to Showtime Autobody,” explained Randy.

“This is actually a tribute car. It is not a numbers matching car, but the original car was rusted so bad that the leaf springs were coming up through the floor of the car. I just couldn’t save it. Back then, I couldn’t buy parts for this, so I had to find another chassis to move all of the original parts to. The parts are from the original car,” shared Randy.

“I really like the colour and year of the vehicle.

This was an original purple car with a black vinyl roof and black interior. It’s repainted now, so the paint is not original, but the same colour was. I’ve had this car for 10 years now and it sits in my garage when I’m not driving it,” said Randy.

“This has a 440 magnum engine with an automatic transmission and posi rear differential. We tried to make the engine

FUN FACTS

The first generation Dodge Challenger was a pony car built from 1970 to 1974, using the Chrysler E platform and sharing major components with the Plymouth Barracuda. Both the Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda were available in a large number of trim and option levels. The Challenger was conceived in the late 1960s as Dodge’s equivalent of the Plymouth Barracuda.

Although the Challenger was well-received by the public (with 76,935 produced for the 1970 model year), it was criticized by the press. About 165,437 Challengers were sold over its lifespan. The TorqueFlite automatic transmission was used, along with standard options. For 1970 only, base hardtop and R/T hardtop models could be ordered with the more luxurious SE specification, which included leather seats, a vinyl roof, a smaller formal rear window and an overhead interior console that contained three warning lights (door ajar, low fuel and seatbelts).

Original numbers matching high-performance 1970 and 1971 Challengers are now among the most sought-after collector cars. The 440 and the 426 Hemi engines nowadays command sizable premiums over the smaller engines. The 1970 and 1971 models tend to generate more attention as performance and style options were still available to the public.

els, trunk floor (because it was very bad for rust), fenders, hood were transferred. The doors are off a different Challenger,” Randy continued.

“The Challenger has the SE package with a smaller back window. It has a console and a hard roof, not cloth. It has all of the badging, including the little bumble bee sticker on the window that you could send in back in 1970. The dealership would get hold of Chrysler to send you a package, which they called the Scat Pack. You received stickers and a identification to belong to the Scat Pack,” revealed Randy.

The Scat Pack is where you’ll begin to see a significant difference in performance, both from its powerful engine and its underlying upgrades. Popularly known as Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger trims, the term Scat Pack was derived from the term scat and was a play on Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack.

“This car is so fun to drive. It has more than

enough power. I remember my son and daughter coming out to the garage and trying to help out. I worked on this car over a 10-year period, almost 10 years to the day, and I went to an Edmonton car show and won a trophy,” Randy

recalled. The car was finished in 2010.

“I put a sway bar in the back, which many of the cars didn’t have, so it corners a lot better. The only downside is that the engine is way too heavy for the car,” concluded Randy.

The Auto Shoppe has new owners A message from Gord and Tammy Graham We would like to take this opportunity to thank the generations of families and companies we have had the pleasure of dealing with over the last 45 years. There comes a time, however, when one needs to head off into the sunset and enjoy life without the responsibilities of a business.

We have been blessed to be surrounded by great people and community.

Camrose has been very good to us indeed.

The last 14 years in our new shop have allowed us to create a prizewinning team from front to back, and they come to work each day to prove to our clientele that they are truly world class.

We are so honoured to have been a part of something really special.

When we meet people on the street, they tell us we fixed their vehicle and what a great experience they had, that the workmanship was top drawer. It makes us blush with pride.

Our kids, Ryan and Carey, have been instrumental in the success of The Auto Shoppe and have a little piece of it in their soul.

A very heartfelt thank you to them from Mom and Dad for sure.

One sign comes down … and a new one goes up, symbolizing the dawn of the next family-owned autobody shop serving Camrose and area.

The Lift Auto Group is represented by area residents Vance Mehlenbacher (Production Manager) and Dan Johnson (General Manager), who have had long careers with the Graham family and will continue to be on the front line addressing your collision and paint needs.

They say, “Happy Retirement, Gord and Tammy!”

The Lift Auto Group, a family-run business located in Kelowna, has acquired the Auto Shoppe and its operations. All of the same staff remain to continue the same class of work for the community both now and into the future. Tammy and I wish them all the success they can muster.

We cannot put into words how good it feels to have left such a wonderful legacy. We thank everyone for your support – it has meant so much to Tammy and I. The sign is changing, but the legacy continues.

Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade project timelines Continued from page 2

“In addition to the contractor’s cost, the remaining budget will be used to cover existing design and tendering costs, future costs for construction inspection and material testing, commissioning and post-construction engineering services, internal City costs, as well as an allowance to cover unforeseen changes that may arise during construction,” said Enarson, adding that local subcontractors and equipment suppliers will also be used during the completion of the project.

“During the week of September 13, MRCL started to mobilize equipment to Camrose. Over the course of the next few weeks, MRCL will be moving staff and equipment to Camrose to start work on the project.”

Construction on the project has begun and is expected to continue for the next two years, with a projected construction completion date in October 2023.

“Once construction is complete, the City will work with MRCL and the design engineer (Associated Engi-

neering) to commission the upgraded WWTP processes,” said Enarson.

In an effort to keep residents informed about possible disruptions in traffic and to some services, the City provided the following key construction areas and timelines: • Upgrades near the City’s main sewage pumping station (located in the Camrose Creek valley, at the west end of Township Road 464 (west of 50 Street), most of which will occur between September 2021 and November 2022. During part of this time (April to September 2022), the grass cross-country trails located south of the pump station will be closed to the public.

“The City is asking for the cooperation of trail users in avoiding the area and/or respecting the trail closure signs and barricades so that the contractor can complete their work safely and efficiently,” noted Enarson.

• In order for the contractor to access the main sewage pumping station and other areas of the

project site, a portion of Township Road 464 (west of 50 Street) will see significant construction traffic, resulting in temporary parking bans along this section of the road.

“This is an area where people sometimes park to access the Camrose Creek trails,” said Enarson, advising that the parking bans may occur off and on throughout the duration of the project (September 2021 to October 2023).

• The main construction activities will be happening closer to the existing blower building located near the south end of 50 Street (just north of Township Road 463, the road that leads to the entrances of the outdoor shooting ranges and the Camrose Regional Landfill).

Construction in this area will be happening over the entire duration of the project (September 2021 to October 2023).

During this time, the City does not anticipate any major disruptions to the public, although there will be significant construction

traffic going in and out of the site at this location.

• As part of the project, the contractor will be deepening one of the existing treated wastewater storage lagoons. This is to provide additional storage capacity as the City continues to grow in the future.

Work on this area will happen between September 2021 and June 2022, and will proceed without any major impact to the public. However, these construction activities will impact the times when the outdoor shooting ranges can be used (biathlon, trap and skeet).

“The City has already been in contact with the Camrose Ski Club and the Camrose Shooting Sports Association to discuss the impact that this will have on their operations,” said Enarson.

He added that material that is removed from the deepened storage lagoon will be used on a variety of locations around the WWTP project, and excess material will be stockpiled at the Camrose Regional Landfill for use on future

landfill projects. “Because of the hauling operations, a section of trail located between the landfill and the outdoor ranges will be closed to the public (the west extension of Township Road 463, west of Range Road 203).”

For more information, or if residents have any concerns regarding the WWTP project, contact the City of Camrose Engineering Services department at 780-672-4428.

Vikings squad drops two games

QUICK LANE WE TAKE CARE OF YOU

By Murray Green

T he Aug usta na Vikings women’s soccer team ran into two tough opponents in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference action on September 25 and 26.

Augustana lost 4-2 to the Olds Broncos and 7-1 to SAIT Trojans, which left them in a must-win situation in October.

Hanna Boyce started the scoring against Olds to put the Vikings on track. However, four straight Olds markers tilted the momentum in the other direction. Maya Pardeahtan netted the other Vikings marker in the second half.

The Vikings recorded seven shots on goal, but had trouble finding the back of the net.

Goalkeepers Kristi Bignell and Sofia Ovcharenko shared the duties in the Augustana net.

Against SAIT, the Vikings started out strong again, scoring the first tally when Rowan Corry scored.

The Vikings host the Ambrose Lions on October 9 in the last regular season home game.

Spruyt ready to serve on council

By Murray Green

Kassandra Spruyt is a Camrose County candidate in Division 1 (Bashaw-Meeting Creek).

“Currently, I feel that social media platforms are a very underutilized tool in communicating with our County residents. While we still need to maintain our current communication lines (newspapers, newsletters and, of course, face-to-face interaction, etc.), we need to expand those lines into the social media world. People are very quickly using these tools as their main way of communicating. I’m hoping that opening those doors invites more of the

residents in and encourages conversation as well as input on current issues facing council. My goal is to make it as effortless as possible for our residents to be informed on County matters,” said Kassandra.

“Mindful allocation of taxpayer dollars and transparency of information is going to be at the forefront of my leadership strategy. With budgetary cutbacks looming ahead, people deserve the right to decide what is important to them and what they think to be unnecessary. I just think we can do a better job of making people aware of how their money is spent, and getting them more involved in the decision process. I’m hopeful that even though budgets will be an issue, if we can make decisions together with the input of our community, that our residents will be satisfied with the

outcome,” explained Kassandra.

“Having just started our own corral cleaning business this past spring, I can honestly say that this is a great place to both work and live. We have been shown great support from our community, and couple that with decent land prices and amenities close by, I’m not sure it gets much better. With that in mind, in these next four years, we need to maintain the integrity of the infrastructure we have now, although growth is important, if the budget doesn’t allow for it, our focus needs to be on keeping what we have in good shape,” added Kassandra.

“The canola crushing plant has been very well received and was a great addition to Camrose County. It just goes to show how heavy hitters like Cargill even see what a sound investment our community is,” she added.

“I grew up on a mixed farming operation just south of Meeting Creek, (actually only a few miles south of where my husband, two sons and I farm now), and I will always be grateful for the opportunities this lifestyle has allowed me. It was here that I developed my love for agriculture, and to have been given the opportunity to make a career based around something you love truly is a gift.

“Since moving back home last fall, it’s the little things that truly make me appreciate where I live, like how every time I go into town, I always run into someone I know, or to personally know my son’s teachers. It is so comforting knowing that your child is surrounded by good people. I’m so grateful to the community that raised me and I can’t wait to give something back.”

By Lori Larsen

Lifelong Camrosian Greg Sharp is running for City of Camrose Council in the upcoming October 18 municipal election.

After studying Marketing at Mount Royal College in Calgary, Sharp, along with wife Erin, moved away from Camrose for a short time. “ We returned to

open a restaurant and start our family in this city we’ve always called ‘home’.”

Sharp has served as a member of the Camrose Kinsmen and on the Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce board.

He was also part of the Franchise Advisory Council for a large restaurant chain across Canada for six

years, completing his final two years as chairperson.

“This experience, I believe, has prepared me for the job of City Councillor to assist in making decisions that affect the residents in this city.”

As a strong advocate for open communication, Sharp encourages any resident who wants to have their voice heard to contact him, or to

visit him in his business (restaurant) for open conversation about any issues they feel about strongly.

“One of the issues I feel strongly about in the City of Camrose is that we (council) are fiscally responsible, ensuring that Camrose residents can continue to enjoy the services we currently have.”

MAX LINDSTRAND for MAYOR

Our next Council needs proven, capable leadership that Max can offer Heidi Bergstrom – Accountant, Wild Rose Co-op I have known Max for only a year but it didn’t take long for me to admire his calm and curious nature.

He listens intently when others are speaking and is eager to learn. It is clear to me that Max is extremely motivated to make Camrose a prosperous and inviting city for all.

As a mother of two children, I spend a lot of time thinking about, and working towards, creating the kind of world I want my children to grow up in. I want them to be part of a strong community full of people who care deeply about each other; where everyone has access to services that satisfy their needs and wants and are able to live full and enriched lives. I’m also very passionate about them growing up in a world free of environmental disasters caused by climate change. I know that my personal actions alone are not enough to realize these ideas so I spend a lot of time considering who I will vote for in all levels of government. I believe that Max Lindstrand will make an excellent mayor to represent my values.

Tom Spila – Retired Music Teacher, CCHS I have known Max Lindstrand for over 35 years. For 21 of those years, he was the principal of the Camrose Composite High School where I was a teacher on staff. During that time, he was totally supportive of me and the overall music program that I taught, and he offered equal support to all of the different programs in the school. Max treats all of those around him fairly. He was, and still is, highly respected by the staff and community that he served. He is always open to new ideas, well-organized, gets things done, and has brought these same qualities to his position on City Council. What I appreciate most about Max is that, if it is plausible, practical, and feasible, he will listen and take action! I highly endorse his candidacy to be the next mayor of the City of Camrose.

Leslie Lindballe – Program Coordinator, Camrose Women’s Shelter I first met Max Lindstrand through the Augustana campus. I was teaching lessons on community engagement and civic responsibility and his was the first name to emerge as a contact. Max engaged the class, answering questions around municipal politics and his time forging connections in other countries. Over the years, Max has consistently engaged with the younger demographic. He welcomed students and young professionals onto the Green Action Committee, knowing that this generation values a city that has a plan to address climate change. Max also has the gift of visiting. He is entirely approachable and never seems rushed or too occupied to spend time listening to you. The topic may be the direction our city is going, but it may equally be a query into the direction you are taking in life. He invests in people and knows how to create deep and lasting relationships with people. I believe that this characteristic makes him an excellent candidate for mayor. He is connected to the people of our city and is willing to spend time to get to know those who live here.

Leroy Johnson – Former Member of the Legislative Assembly, City of Camrose Councillor, Camrose School District Trustee, Coordinator of the Viking Cup, and Professor at Augustana University College

I first met Max Lindstrand when I was his teacher and coach in high school. Later, with a quartet, we sang at his wedding. We also worked on graduate studies together at the University of Montana. I believe that Max would be an excellent choice for Mayor for the City of Camrose. I have worked with Max in numerous capacities over many years and have always been impressed by his ability to understand the key issues. Perhaps this is because of his wide interests and keen involvement in our community – from youth to seniors, rural to urban, education to health, the arts to athletics, and business to governing. He is a very productive person and I endorse his candidacy for Mayor.

Sharon Gilbertson – Retired English Teacher and Community Volunteer

As a former teacher who had Max as principal for fifteen years, and as a friend who has known him even longer, I heartily endorse Max to lead our city as our next Mayor. He was an excellent leader who managed Camrose Composite High School with competence and organization. Max was always fair and allowed us all to do our work without second guessing. He had energy to accomplish all tasks and treated everyone with respect and compassion.

Max provided strong support for the whole school from sports to fine arts, special needs students to academics, and curriculum to community. I give him an A+ as a leader and our next Mayor!

Sharp runs for City council Continued from page 23

“My goal is to also keep the City within the economic boundaries” said Sharp. “While preparing Camrose for future facilities or other projects that are necessary or desirable for the residents of Camrose.”

Sharp hopes to bring economic growth to Camrose by reaching out to interested parties and showing the many advantages to starting a business in this area. “We have been fortunate in the past in attracting businesses to Camrose, and I believe we can offer more to convince these groups to choose Camrose first.”

Sharp said the challenge of all municipal governments is the delicate balance between requests and requirements. “I plan to assist the residents of Camrose and council in striking symmetry with these challenges, both for immediate concerns and future issues.”

Regarding decisions made in the past by council that have impacted residents, Sharp said the upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant will be an important part of the City’s ability to not only maintain an obvious necessity of life, but also ensure the needs for the community are met for future generations. “This will also prepare us to serve our needs as our City continues to grow over the coming years.

“Camrose has always been ‘home’ even when we lived away,” remarked Sharp. “The feeling of community and togetherness is very apparent here, especially over the past two years. With all the amenities that we have, combined with the caring demeanor of our residents, Camrose is a fantastic city in which to put down roots as a business or as a family.”

Vote on extra election questions this year

Please Vote

By Murray Green

A long with the Alberta Municipal Elections and the Alberta Senate Election on October 18, you will be asked to vote on the referendum issue.

Both referendum questions allow for a yes vote or a no vote.

The two questions are: Should section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982–Parliament and the government of Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equalization payments– be removed from the constitution?

And the second is: Do you want Alberta to adopt year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is summer hours, eliminating the need to change our clocks twice a year?

All local jurisdictions holding elections on 18 will facilitate the vote by also issuing the referendum ballot to electors. In addition to Election Day voting, local jurisdictions may also offer advance voting, institutional voting, and special ballot voting. At each voting opportunity, the referendum ballot will be provided to electors to vote in this election.

Canadian citizens who reside in Alberta and are at least 18 years of age or older on Election Day are eligible to vote in the referendum.

The vote is being conducted by local jurisdictions. Electors must vote in the municipality or local jurisdiction in which they reside.

Following the close of voting, all local jurisdictions will complete the unofficial count of ballots. These counts are submitted to Elections Alberta for tabulation. The off icial announcement of the provincial referendum results will take place on October 26.

Division 7 – Camrose County

Longtime area resident Lana Broker will be running for City of Camrose council for the upcoming October municipal election.

Broker grew up on a farm just northeast of Camrose and her love for animals led her to obtain training as an Animal Health Technologist.

In 1998, she moved to Camrose and began working for the City of Camrose with Parks and Recreation.

Not long after, she switched professions and became a 911 dispatcher with the Camrose Police Service, dispatching calls for assistance to police, ambulance and fire for the City.

“I also worked in the Public Works Department (for the City), where I gained a whole new respect for the day-to-day operations maintaining our city.

Working in these different departments made me even more proud to be from Camrose.”

If elected, Broker would welcome residents to share concerns or information with her at any time and in any way convenient for them. “I intend to listen with an open mind and do my best to take those concerns forward and address them with common sense.”

She also intends on continuing to find different solutions for spending tax dollars in an effective and fiscally responsible way.

“Large projects like our Wastewater Treatment Plant and the new Public Works building are going to cost millions of dollars,” noted Broker. “With that said, we need to keep a close eye on budget. Going off course is not an option.

We need to stay on track and make sure every dollar is spent responsibly.”

With regards to her take on promoting growth within the City, she said, “It will be a joint effort between all councilors who will each bring their own individual views. We also need to work closely with Camrose County and other regional partners to attract industries. We are stronger together.”

Broker said it is very important City tax dollars be used responsibly and in the way our residents want, while still providing the high level of service Camrose offers.

“Negotiating a mutually beneficial Recreation and Fire Agreement with Camrose County was a big undertaking and very time consuming. Council stuck in there and got it done, with the outcome benefiting both parties.”

In speaking of the offerings of the City of Camrose, Broker said, “Camrose has the amenities of a large city, with the feel of a small town, and I love that. People move to Camrose from all over the place to retire here–it’s welcoming and beautiful.

“I intend to retire here and want to ensure Camrose stays ‘the place where people want to move’. I am invested in this community as we have been business owners in Camrose for 27 years.”

Broker is delighted to call Camrose home and hopes, as a councillor, she can contribute to making Camrose the best place to call home for everyone.

“I love to give back.

My husband and I gave back by adopting the oldest cat we could find in Alberta,” noted Broker. “So far, we have had family members from Fort McMurray, Rocky Mountain House, Hanna and Calgary. We adopt them so they do not have to live their last few years of their life in a shelter, to make sure they are in a place that is home to them. That is Camrose to me–home. If I can make this place we call home better in any way, that is a win. And as a City Councilor I know I can do that… with your help.”

Kodiaks spilt in showcase series

In the first game in Brooks, the Oil Barons built up a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes before the Kodiaks got on track.

Hein drops out of race

By Murray Green

Joel Hein let his name stand to be a Division 6 councillor because he wanted to serve Camrose County in the Round HillKingman area.

However, his plans have changed. “I have made the very difficult decision to announce my resignation from the candidate nomination list. Over the last few weeks, my wife has become very ill and I would like to support her in her journey to get well over the next few months,” he said to his supporters.

“I will not have the time to adequately give service to my constituents

over this time, if elected. I am very thankful to those who have nominated me for the position of councillor.

As I am unable to remove my name completely from the ballot, I ask that you would kindly vote for the candidate that would most fairly represent you with honesty and integrity as I would have most certainly sought to do.”

Winning the election would result in the immediate resignation from Hein and a by-election would need to be held.

“I will seek to run again in the next municipal election,” said Hein.

By Lori Larsen

Incumbent Kevin Hycha is running for council in the upcoming October 18 City of Camrose municipal election.

Hycha moved to Camrose 35 years ago, and feels fortunate to have met his wife Carol and raise their family here.

He is a journeyman heavy duty and automotive mechanic by trade, but has been in business management for most of his career.

He is currently serving in his second term (eight years) as a City of Camrose councillor. “It’s been an honour and a privilege to have been elected to two terms for City Council, and I am eager to share my experience with the newly elected council in a third term,” remarked Hycha.

He is a previous member of Toastmasters and has sat on several boards and commissions including: the Camrose Police Commission, Airport Commission, the Capital Region Southwest Water Service Commission (CRSWSC), Rose City Handi-Van Society, Camrose Regional Exhibition board, Camrose Regional Solid Waste Authority and the Camrose Transit Advisory.

“When our children were younger, I coached/ managed soccer and hockey for many years,” remarked Hycha. “I enjoy long distance running, golf, curling hockey and fishing, when time permits Hycha admits he is more of a listener than a talker, but said when he does talk, rest assured it is for a reason.

“It is important to take the time to consult with the citizens, engaging them in discussion before the decisions are made,” said Hycha. “Making nec-

essary decisions takes a lot of study, thought and dialog. But believe it or not, there is a method to our perceived madness.”

He explained maintaining taxes without sacrificing services and expanding on the Community bus service are the most challenging concerns for council.

“We (the City) need to continue with yearly road and sidewalk rehabilitation, identify aging infrastructure (such as the Camrose Public Library and the Senior Centre), possibly by developing a plan to combine the two services in order to cut down infrastructure and maintenance costs.”

He also said that determining and implementing an additional water source. is vital.

“The City does an amazing job turning the water from Driedmeat Lake into potable water, but if something should happen to the lake, we would have nothing.”

Hycha also said that the City needs to explore affordable housing so all can enjoy living here.

In an effort to promote growth, Hycha said the City needs to be able to work closer with our Camrose County neighbors to attract good clean businesses. “We need to build on what we already have, expanding the potential of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, St. Mary’s Hospital, recreation and performing arts centres and other similar operations.”

We have so many opportunities at our fingertips, not the least of which is the Recreation Centre, which will be used to showcase the 2022 GSOC Meridian Open Curling, bringing potential business for hotels, restaurants and gas stations.”

With regards to fiscal challenges, Hycha said, “We need to determine what is wanted or what is really needed. Projects such as the Aquatic Centre renovation and Wastewater Treatment Plant really override other projects

I’ll bring my

Get it done” “

attitude to Division 3 – Camrose County

I’m Tina Sroka I invite your vote for me as your representative - I believe in great communication, always. Traditional and new tech methods to inform citizens on all matters.

- We need to increase the number of businesses operating in the County, now that we are faced with reduced oil and gas activity and decreased taxation base.

- Improved County/City relations and increased dialogue are a must going forward.

- The next council will have plenty on their plates: policing, road conditions, water drainage and difficult budget decisions.

I’m up for the challenge, on your behalf.

Thanks for your vote

MAX LINDSTRAND YOUR MAYOR for a BRIGHT FUTURE Camrose needs the capable, proven leadership that Max can provide. He brings an abundance of enthusiasm, compassion and commitment.

He is an excellent listener and problem solver.

CELEBRATE: Max fully supports our first-class 18-hole golf course.

Camrose has reason to celebrate in 2022, because our public golf course will be 100 years old!

In January, Camrose will host another Pinty’s curling event which will feature the best teams in the world as they prepare for the Winter Olympics.

CONCERN: Residents who live north of the tracks are very concerned about the lack of emergency vehicle access during times when all of the crossings are blocked by long trains. We need to find a solution to this problem.

For details of Max’s campaign platform, please visit his website:

On October 18, VOTE for Max Lindstrand to be your next MAYOR! when the unexpected happens.” He added that the renovation and expansion of the Aquatic Centre and the start of a Public Works

Building upgrades were long overdue.

with all the amenities of a larger city centre. “I truly appreciate the people and I can’t think of a better place to live and raise a family.”

Sahakarini Loaves and Fishes event is modified

By Murray Green

The annual Sahakarini Loaves and Fishes fundraiser looks different this year, but people are being asked to make a donation and then enjoy a meal in honour of Sahakarini.

“In COVID-19, Sahakarini, like everyone, has had to come up with new ways of doing things.

That includes our annual fall fundraiser. Loaves and Fishes Reimagined is still about sharing what we have to help others,” said president Litsa Tryphanopoulos. “During the month of October, have some fun and help us realize our goal of $50,000.”

October has been declared as Sahakarini Awareness Month.

Events, such as donating can and bottles recyclables through Universal Bottle Depot in Camrose or the Daysland Recycling Depot, are planned.

On Friday, October 29, a bottle drive will be held in the Quilting from the Heart parking lot from 1 to 3 p.m., and then on Saturday, October 30, another bottle drive will be held from 1 to 2 p.m., at the Rotary Pavilion overlooking the ski hill.

An online garage sale will be held for individuals who want to donate proceeds to Sahakarini.

This can be done anytime throughout the year, not just in October.

Remember to use the safe exchange zone located outside of the Camrose RCMP office at 6410-48 Avenue on the east side of the street, when collecting funds for items.

In the past, the highlight of the fall is the auctioning of Gordon Schieck’s sandals. His sandals were handcrafted in India and purchased by his wife Mina.

They were worn around the world on missionary trips, and since 2001, have been the most prestigious auction item at Sahakarini in Camrose. This year, you can rent them for a week.

For more information, contact the Sahakarini office.

Proceeds of the event go towards Sahakarini projects. All funds raised from the annual Loaves and Fishes Supper are crucial to meeting worldly obligations. Any additional donation for supporting overseas projects is not only encouraged, but much appreciated.

Adelaide Jennora McClements Adelaide was born on December 29, 1925, in Brandt, South Dakota, to Oscar and Julia Reitan, and passed away peacefully on September 26, 2021, in Edmonton, Alberta, at the age of 95.

Two years after her mom passed away, Adelaide, when she was four years old, moved with her grandparents, father and younger sister Olive to the Irma district.

She later met and married Reginald McClements in the Sharon Lutheran Church near Irma, Alberta. The first winter they were married, they worked in Edmonton at the Pankiw Dairy, Dad delivering milk in the city and Mom cooking for the hired hands.

Later, Dad worked for the Arctic Ice Company, cutting ice on the North Saskatchewan River, and Mom worked at the Colonel Mewburn Hospital as a nurse’s aide, looking after wounded veterans.

In the spring of 1946, they returned to farm northeast of Lougheed. There, their four children were born and raised, and Mom and Dad resided there until they retired to Sedgewick in 1985.

Mom and Dad ran a mixed farming operation and times were very tough, but the one thing that they both knew how to do was work, and work they did. Mom helped with all the outside work, as well as keeping up the housework. She had two very large gardens and, between cooking, canning, baking and cleaning, she did the work of two people. She was well known for her baking skills, and her cinnamon rolls, buns, butterhorns and flapper pies were next to none.

Mom and Dad were involved in both the communities of Lougheed and Hardisty in various aspects, due to the fact that they lived practically the same distance from both. They were members of the Hardisty United Church, and at one time, Mom was president of the UCW. Mom was also a long-time member and president of the Hazelwood Good Deed Club, as well as a member of the Rebekah Lodge for eleven years, holding the position of Noble Grand.

Music was a huge part of Mom’s life, and she and Dad spent many enjoyable evenings dancing the night away at Melbrae, Groveland, and Lougheed community halls. She also played the piano, accordion and guitar by ear, and made sure that her love of music was passed on to her children.

Mom was a very sociable person. She loved visiting with people and entertaining. She loved it when people stopped in for coffee and a chat, and it gave her a wonderful sense of self worth if she could make people happy. She also had a great sense of humour and a great zest for life, but her greatest love of all was her love of family. She left us with a great legacy, and she will be forever missed and cherished by her family.

Adelaide is survived by: • Her four children: Karen (Walter) Genesis; Marlene (Lehman) Thompson; Calvin (Arlene) McClements; Joy (Merlin) Arntzen • Her grandchildren, along with her great-grandchildren: Brent (Heather) Genesis, Ezra, Hannah and Abigail; Garth (Amy) Genesis, Tieg and Aspen; Chandra Bailey; Mandy Bailey; Shari (John) Bailey Richardson; Sheena (Paul) Edginton, Ethan, Vance; Scott (Kandace) McClements, Jaxon, Jett; Dean Arntzen and girlfriend Kim; Trena (Jon) Taralson, Grace Adelaide, Jacob, Zoey • Nephew Daren (Betty) Lien She was predeceased by her husband Reginald in 1997; her sister Olive Lien; brother-in-law Alfred Lien; her nieces Sharon Lien and Carolyn Hartung; her brothers-in-law James and Lesley McClements and their wives; as well as her sister-in-law Olive Barber and her husband.

Due to the Alberta Health restrictions, a private family service will be held.

Donna Teresa Saby March 4, 1938 ~ September 23, 2021 Donna Teresa (Morgan) Saby was born on March 4, 1938 in New Norway, AB, to Thomas and Louise Morgan. She passed away suddenly on September 23, 2021, at the University Hospital, Edmonton, AB. Donna was raised in the Edberg, AB area. She attended the Edberg School until grade 8, when she left school early to help at home.

As a child, she loved swimming in the muddy west farm slough with her siblings. During the winters, they would shovel off the snow to enjoy skating and playing hockey. Summer was filled with gardening, playing croquet, sitting on the rooftop playing the accordion as her sister Louise would howl along. Ping pong, at which Donna excelled, was a game she and her siblings played on the kitchen table. In her later years, she taught herself to play the piano.

Purchasing an electric keyboard, Donna loved to sit and play away.

On November 1, 1957, Donna married David Ross. To this union, five children were born: Timothy, Judy and Darrell (twins), Sharla and Michele.

In the early years, they lived in various places, then settled on the Ross farm in 1962. During these years, she raised her family, while working very hard on the farm. She was an immaculate homemaker, avid gardener, loved her chickens, and helped raise other farm animals. She made the best cinnamon buns and fried chicken EVER! In the later years, David and Donna parted ways.

On May 20, 1989, Donna and Ken Saby were married. They enjoyed living on their beautiful acreage near Duhamel. They spent many hours together, working in their yard, and loved entertaining friends and family, and traveling to destinations. Many pool games were played and outdoor barbecues enjoyed.

After Ken’s passing in 2001, she moved to Camrose, AB. She took pride in her housekeeping career at St. Mary’s Hospital. After retirement, Donna enjoyed crocheting, puzzles, having Sunday family dinners, and spending time with friends and family.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Tim (Angie) Ross of Wetaskiwin, Judy (Kevin) Solverson of Gwynne, Darrell (Emma) Ross of Camrose, Sharla Ross of Ladysmith, BC, and Michelle (Brent) Perkins of New Norway; ten grandchildren Christopher, Victoria, Thomas, David, Ryan, Wesley, Steven, Derek, Devon, Darcy; thirteen great-grandchildren Justin, Abigail, Emily, Archer, Jacob, Clara, Johnathan, Beckket, Madison, Natalya, Alexis, Jace and Abigayle; her last remaining sibling Louise (Adam) Feth; and many loved nieces and nephews.

Donna was predeceased by her husband Ken Saby; her parents Thomas and Louise Morgan; brothers Richard, Allan, Jack and Thomas; sister Barbara; granddaughter Rebecca Perkins; and great-grandson Jakob Solverson.

You wonder, “Where have my children gone?”

Where we are is where you have led us.

With your special love you showed us a way, To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.

Each of us holds special memories of you, Remaining in our hearts forever.

We will carry on your strength and love.

A private family service was held. A recording of the service will be made available for viewing on this website later.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Donna’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes Association, or to the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

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.

The Surface Drainage Bylaw will enable the County to investigate drainage-related complaints wherever the County has jurisdiction over drainage and waterbodies.

Enforcement of the Bylaw includes the power of a County Designated Officer to enter onto the property to carry out an inspection and obtain information. The Designated Officer may issue a fine for contravention of the Bylaw and/or may issue an order to a person to return the property to its original state. The costs incurred for the remediation action are the responsibility of the landowner or the person who caused the contravention.

Lock it –or lose it

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Layne McNalley of the Camrose Buffaloes bantam defence grabs the ball carrier before he gets loose in football action at Kin Park. The Buffaloes host games on October 9 and 17.

All four of the Camrose Buffaloes football teams were victorious or tied to make a clean sweep on September 26.

“Our atom Buffaloes had very exciting games in Spruce Grove. For many of these players, it was their very first time playing in the big city atmosphere,” said atom head coach Pier Juneau.

The Navy squad took on the Edmonton Chargers and came away with a 5-3 victory. “It was a great game, with awesome defensive and offensive plays. Offence had some great plays and were able to work together to move the ball down the field to create some touchdowns,” he added.

The Red atoms played the Millwoods Grizzlies.

“The Buffaloes showed heart, grit and determination in their competitive game. The defence had a great defensive strategy and they successfully held their line throughout; the game came to a tie 0-0.”

The Peewee Buffaloes were the home team in Fort Saskatchewan against Sherwood Park.

“It took a full team effort for Camrose to win the second of a back-toback series with the Sherwood Park Wolverines.

Most players played both offense and defense. Sherwood Park was a much better tackling team this time, but the Buffaloes found the end zone six times for touchdowns from four different players (Wyatt Bardell, Rico Heinz, Jordan Steil and Phoebe Berkholtz-Cottrell),” said coach Brad Berger, after the 41-6 victory.

The scoring was rounded out with a safety, a two-point and a one-point convert. The Wetaskiwin Warriors will visit the Buffaloes on October 9 for a 12:30 p.m. game.

The bantams club were also the home team in Fort Saskatchewan against the SAMFA Fury.

The game started out with a great defensive play of an interception and touchdown by Layne McNalley.

On their next possession, quarterback Brady Berger threw to Logan Christie who took it in for another touchdown. The defence had several knockdowns and Tristan Ryschka also had an interception.

The final touchdown was scored by McNalley from Brady with two seconds left in the game. The final score was 18-0.

Bantams next action is Saturday, October 9, at 3 p.m. in Camrose at Kin Park.

BRCF grants to City of Camrose

WE ARE HIRING!

Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) awarded $4,870 in grants to the City of Camrose to support youth sport participation.

The grants, from the Lions Club of Camrose Legacy Fund, the Zetsen Master Builders Minor Sports Fund and the Laird Family Fund, were all established to support minor sports programs and participation in Camrose.

The money is used in the City’s Silent Sponsor Program, which assists with registration fees for minor sports programs in Camrose on a confidential basis.

“The Help Fund Program financially assists individuals who cannot afford the total cost of registration fees related to the specific Sport and Art/ Culture programs in which they enroll their children,” commented City of Camrose Recreation Facilities Operations manager Jim Cook, adding that the program only assists in a percentage of the fee.

“We feel that the parent(s) needs to contribute a share of the cost to better understand the program in which they are enrolling their child or children.”

The Help Fund Program has provided assistance to families for over 30 years for a variety of activities offered in the City, including but not limited to: minor hockey, soccer, football and baseball; wheelchair basketball; hockey schools; youth basketball and bowling; Camrose Dance and Ballet; Camrose Skating Club; Equestrian Club; Camrose Sea Serpents (swim club); swimming lessons; junior golf; Summer Lakes Program; Taekwon-Do; and Camrose Spirals (rope skipping club).

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support programs such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principals of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Grandma and Grandpa were having Thanksgiving dinner with their children and grandchildren. Grandma leans over and whispers to Grandpa, “I just broke wind and it was long and silent, what should I do?” Grandpa replies, “First off, replace the batteries in your hearing aid.”

New bi-level home

By Lori Larsen

There’s no fuss with this new bi-level located close to west end shopping, services, golf course and playgrounds. Simply move in your goods and prepare to enjoy home ownership.

This home boasts of everything new with bright stylish colours and finishes.

Popular, easy-to-maintain vinyl flooring leads from the front entry way up through the majority of the home, including the completely finished lower level. Crisp white trim and finishes make the home fresh. Pot lighting in the living area, combined with a front window, enhance the bright open floor plan.

The kitchen features white cabinets, beautiful grey-toned backsplash, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. A corner pantry offers lots of tucked away storage space.

The main floor master suite offers homeowner privacy with a four-piece en suite and patio doors leading to a private balcony. A walk-in closet offers

lots of room for everything in your wardrobe.

Two other good-sized bedrooms and a main floor four-piece bathroom mean plenty of room for the rest of the family.

Large windows in the basement bring tons of natural light in to the family room area that could easily house a big screen television for movie or sport night. One more bedroom and a four-piece bathroom will provide an older child with a space to call their own. A flex room can be used for seasonal storage or for whatever suits your needs.

Paved back alley access provides parking at the back of the home.

This new bi-level, located at 6903-50 Avenue and priced at $329,900, means no renovations or extra work–just move right in. Join AlKarim (Al) Mohamed at an open house on Thursday, October 7 from 4 until 6 p.m., or Saturday, October 9 from 11 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. For a personal viewing, contact Al-Karim at:

Has anybody else turned on the wrong burner and cooked absolutely nothing for 20 minutes?

Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings, one by one, as each relative goes home.

A young boy asks his Dad at the Thanksgiving dinner table, “Dad, do bugs taste good?” The dad, quite offended, says, “That’s disgusting! Don’t talk about such things at the dinner table!” After dinner, the dad brings up the question again, “Son, you wanted to ask me something earlier?” “It’s okay, Dad,” the boy says, “There was a bug in your gravy, but it’s gone now.”

This Thanksgiving, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has to do the dishes.

What did Grandpa say after he ate too much pumpkin pie? “I don’t feel so gourd!”

What do you get when you cross a turkey with a banjo?

A turkey that can pluck itself.

I’m excited about Thanksgiving because I love unwelcome parenting advice from relatives I see twice a year.

One turkey says to the other, “Do you believe in life after Thanksgiving?”

My family always celebrates Thanksgiving with a fast. The faster we eat, the more food we get.

What would mothers most like to make for Thanksgiving dinner? Restaurant reservations.

Thanksgiving is great because certain people tend to speak less when food is lodged in their mouths.

What do you get when you cross an octopus with a turkey? Finally enough drumsticks for everybody at Thanksgiving. Providing you can catch the darn critter!

Why didn’t the turkey bake properly on Thanksgiving?

I have no idea, but I suspect some fowl play.

What happens when you seriously overstuff yourself with turkey at Thanksgiving?
