Kodiaks ground Eagles twice By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks grounded the Canmore Eagles 5-2 and 8-2 in a weekend series in the mountains, January 14 and 15. Camrose has won three straight games and currently sits in second place with 56 points in 44 games. In the first weekend game, the Kodiaks exploded with four goals in the third period to win 5-2. Camrose scored first on a tally from Ryan Sullivan. However, just 36 seconds later, Canmore tied the game and the opening period was tied 1-1. After a scoreless middle frame, the game opened up. The Eagles went ahead early in the third, and then it was all Camrose. Newcomer Jared Chapel, Blake Kondor, Graydon Gotaas on a power play, and Michieu Gautier connected to complete the road game comeback. Goalie Logan Willcott didn’t have a busy night, stopping 14 of 16 shots. The Kodiaks fired 38 shots at the Canmore cage. In the rematch, the carnage continued. Camrose scored four opening period markers and cruised to a 8-2 victory. In the first, both Sullivan and Callum Gau netted two goals each. The Eagles soared in the middle frame with the only tally, and then added another marker early in the third period. The Kodiaks then scored four straight goals to complete the series. Gau completed his hat trick, Logan Lorenz and Kondor on a power play and Ty Sauer on a power play finished the scoring in a penalty-filled period. In net, Spencer Welke turned away 21 of the 23 shots he faced. The Kodiaks recorded 52 shots on goal. Camrose lost a day game 5-2 to the Okotoks Oilers on January 20. The Kodiaks scored first on newcomer Tio D’Addario’s goal in the first period. The Oilers netted two in the middle frame and another in the third before Roc Truman garnered a power play marker to bring the Kodiaks to within one. However, Okotoks scored twice in the third
Glenys Irene Blades January 19, 1936 ~ January 14, 2022 On January 14, 2022, after a long period of declining health, Glenys Irene Blades (nee Evans) of Camrose, formerly of Mayerthorpe, passed away peacefully at the age of 85. Glenys leaves to cherish her memory her daughter Susan (Jim) Stockall; her son Rick (Bianca) Blades; grandson Jeffrey (Jessica) Stockall, grandson Gregory (Randal) Stockall; great-grandchildren Emry and Leah Stockall; sister Diana (Dale) Smith; sister-in-laws Patricia Evans and June Evans-Hauser; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Dick; parents Alwyn and Annie Evans; sister Betty; and brothers Bob, Alan and David. Glenys grew up in Rosalind as the eldest of six siblings born to Annie and Alwyn Evans. She attended school in Rosalind, where she excelled academically, receiving the Governor General Award in Grade 9. Following her graduation from High School, she completed her nursing education at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, graduating in 1957. She married Richard (Dick) Blades from Ohaton in 1958, and the young couple moved to the Peers area for their first few years, then relocated to a farm in Anselmo, where they continued to live and raise their children Susan and Rick. Glenys returned to work following Rick’s birth and continued her nursing career at the Mayerthorpe Hospital, all while continuing to be a full-time mother and farm wife. She was Director of Nursing at the time of the planning and building of the new Mayerthorpe Health Care Centre, which opened in 1985. After the tragic death of her husband Dick in 1986, Glenys moved from the farm to the town of Mayerthorpe, where she lived until 2011, followed by moves to Edmonton and Camrose, where she lived until her death. Glenys was an avid reader; it was her very favourite pastime from an early age. She also enjoyed knitting, photography and travel. She had many albums full of pictures of family, nature and the places she had visited, such as Wales (the home of her father), England, Crete and the West Coast of Canada. Above all else, Glenys loved her family and will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Her family would like to express our deep appreciation to the staff of Deer Meadows, Bethany Meadows and Camrose Home Care, who cared for her and gave her comfort, making her last years happier. Due to current Alberta Health regulations, a private family service will be held. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Glenys’ memory may be made to the Alberta Lung Association or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
