Marion Jeanette Schoettler
July 10, 1941 ~ December 23, 2021
Marion Jeanette Schoettler, known as “Jeanette”, of Camrose, Alberta, formerly of Donalda, Alberta, passed away on Thursday, December 23, 2021, at the age of 80 years. Steadfast and devoted to her faith, Jeanette was an instrumental member of the church community, regularly doing the readings during Mass services and partaking in the cleaning and maintenance of the parish halls. She was a friendly face in the church and was dedicated to sharing her love of the Lord with others. Jeanette was a caring and generous mother and grandmother. Her kindness, hospitality, and patience were among her greatest attributes.
Jeanette is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ronald Schoettler; and their three children Garnett (Elissa) Schoettler, Christy (Ken) Ma, and Brett (Melanie) Schoettler; her siblings Audrey (Don) Lane, Leo Frey (Sharon Becker), and Shelly (Brian) Ternes; as well as her grandchildren Isabella, Parker and Francesca.
Jeanette was predeceased by her parents Leo and Emma Frey; parents-in-law Frank and Anne Schoettler; and brother Ronnie Frey.
Jeanette will be deeply missed and treasured for her presence and light in the lives of her loved ones and her community.
Due to Alberta Health restrictions, a private service was held. A recording of the Funeral Mass will be available on the St. Francis Xavier Church website: https://stfxcamrose.caedm.ca/ under “Recorded Masses”.
If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Jeanette’s memory may be made to STARS, Canadian Cancer Society, or St. Joseph’s Auxiliary Hospital.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Kathleen Evans on December 22, 2021, in Camrose, Alberta, at the age of 93 years. Kathleen will be deeply missed by her sister Sr/Sister Mary John of Fatima, Portugal; sister-in-law Mary Ronayne of Bristol, England; her niece and nephews Christina, Michael, and Peter (Mary) Ronayne; also husband Dick’s children Donna, Ken and Lorna and their children.
She is lovingly remembered by the many students she taught in her career as a teacher and by numerous friends worldwide. Her motto was, “To Read Is To Know”. She strongly believed reading led to higher achievement. For 18 years, she drove the dusty back roads with her Travelling Library, delivering reading books (from her own collection of 20,000) to County of Wetaskiwin, Camrose, and Leduc children during the summer months. Kathleen was Grandma Teller, writing a weekly newspaper page titled, “Our Page” for the Wetaskiwin Times Advertiser spanning 14 years.
Kathleen was predeceased by her husband Dick Evans; and her parents Bridget and James Ronayne.
Memorial Donations may be made to: Friends of St. Peter & Paul Church Society, Box 291, Hay Lakes, AB T0B 1W0 (non-charitable).

In loving memory of Homer Teeple
who passed away on January 6, 1992, and Laura Crawford
who passed away on January 10, 2012
Missing someone isn’t about how long it’s been since you’ve last seen them, or how much time has lapsed since you last talked. It’s more than that. It’s about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing they were right there with you. As we sit and whisper, “I miss you”, we believe somehow you can still hear us. Gone from sight, but never from our hearts. – Jean, Scott, Susan

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.

County proposes small tax increase
By Murray Green
At the regular Camrose County council meeting on December 14, administrator Paul King presented the operating and capital budgets for council’s approval. County councillors passed the interim budget, which is subject to change until next spring. The Camrose County interim budget proposed a two per cent increase in the tax rate, which when extrapolated to a tax increase would see a 1.16 per cent increase in residential rates, 1.63 per cent increase in farmland rates, and 0.54 per cent increase in non-residential and linear rates.
The provincially mandated increase in policing costs will increase those rates to residential 1.9 per cent, farmland 1.91 per cent and non-residential and linear .078 per cent.
At the budget meetings on December 1 and 2, department managers recommended to the budget committee several changes or alternatives to services delivery and identified areas where efficiencies could be implemented.
“Staff goal for the 2022 budget was to maintain a high level of municipal service to our ratepayers, given the current social and economic climate, based on Council’s strategic direction, and recently introduced Priority Based Budgeting Principles. The 2022 interim budget reflects estimates based on the equalized assessment data for 2021 and subsequent changes implemented by the provincial government. During March 2022, administration will prepare the final budget for council approval, following the release of the final internal 2021 assessment data and the inclusion of any adjustments to provincial requisitions for Alberta School Foundation,” explained County administrator Paul King. Passing of an interim operations budget will allow operations to continue for the portion of the year up until the final budget has been passed.
The interim budget proposes operating expenses of $34,309,787, offset by operating revenue of $20,372,874. That leaves $13,936,914 to be generated by tax levies.
County council also reviewed and approved the 2022 interim capital budget, with total capital and project expenses of $16,152,164 to be funded by internal resources (sale of assets, grants, debentures, or reserves) of $14,627,864 and a total tax supported capital levy of $1,524,300.
