Terrance (Terry) Gordon Bonnett
March 26, 1932 ~ April 5, 2022
Terrance Gordon Bonnett of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at the age of 90 years.
Terrance Gordon Bonnett was born on March 26, 1932, on a farm north of Killam, AB, to George and Doris Bonnett. Terry had eight siblings and was the third oldest in the family.
At the age of 16, he met a cute little Norwegian girl named Alma Sjerven. They married a few years later on September 1, 1950. They settled on a farm north of Strome. Together, they milked cows, sold cream, and rented land to make ends meet. He found great happiness being busy with fieldwork; breaking horses for harness, driving and riding them. Terry loved spending time outside tending to cattle and other farm animals. When the winter months came, he never missed a chance to go ice fishing. Later in life, he spent a great deal of time raising and selling coyote hounds, filling his weekends hunting with them.
To Terry and Alma were born 3 children, Deloris (1951), Dwayne (1954), and Terry Lynn (1960). The family made several moves around central Alberta, spending a significant amount of time in the Ohaton area. In 1986 they made a final move and settled in the city of Camrose.
Terry worked for Fieldhofer/Byers in Camrose for a few years, then returned to farming around Viking. He was offered a job and returned to Byers where he worked for over 30 years. He took great pride in his work and retired in 1997 as the feed-mill elevator manager. Terry’s social personality and knowledge regarding animal nutrition enabled him to forge many working relationships and lifelong friendships. He was a member of the Moose Lodge and acted as Governor there for two years.
In his retirement, he kept busy with endless carpentry projects, and instilled this love of woodworking in his grandsons. He was a skilled leather worker and made many scale models of horse-drawn carts and wagons. While his hands were kept occupied designing and fabricating, his ears were always attuned to country music on CFCW.
He enjoyed nothing more than a good cup of coffee and reminiscing about the past with family and friends. He loved to tell and retell a good story and discuss current events with his coffee buddies in town. His unique sense of humour was always apparent with his quick-witted straight-faced remarks that left everyone in the room laughing. Despite battling complications that often come with old age, his personality continued to shine through until the end.
He was a loving family man and took great joy in his roles as a father, grandpa, and great-grandpa. His greatest love of all was his wife, Alma. Their love story was one for the ages and was inspiring to anyone who knew them. They were married for 67 years before Alma passed away in 2018. So, although we are saddened losing Terry, we also smile as the two are reunited.
Terry is survived by his children Deloris (Dave) Twin, Dwayne (Sandy) Bonnett, and Terry Lynn (Harv) Hauser; six grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; brothers Wade (Jacquie) Bonnett, Don (Verla) Bonnett and Norman (Carolyn) Bonnett; sisters Bonnie Hammond and Dorothy Calvert; sister-in-law Leona Bonnett; and numerous nieces and nephews. Terry was predeceased by his wife Alma; grandson Trent Bonnett; brothers Maurice, Gerald, and Allyn; sisters-in-law Joan Bonnett and Dianne Bonnett; and brothers-in-law Murray Hammond and Cliff Calvert.
There will be no funeral at Terry’s request.
Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to the Parkinson’s Association of Alberta, Alzheimer Society of Alberta, or a charity of one’s choice.

Roger Scott Bredeson
December 30, 1977 ~ April 4, 2022
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Roger Scott Bredeson on April 4, 2022, at the age of 45 years.
Roger is survived by his father Len Bredeson; his children whom he dearly loved, daughters Leila, Nyah and son Landon, as well as their mother; two brothers Lance and Kevin, sister Sheri and their families; his mother and stepfather; as well as aunts, uncles and many friends.
Many thanks are extended to Uncle Marv and Francie and Uncle Bill for their unending help to Roger.
Roger endured many hardships during his life, but always faced them head on with determination. He was a very hard-working man. He earned two diplomas from Olds College in Horticulture, and since the pandemic, another diploma in Crisis Counselling. Roger very much enjoyed his work both in Horticulture and Counselling. When not working in the Horticulture field, he could be found operating heavy equipment with an ability that came from operating equipment on the farm while growing up.
Roger and his father considered themselves more like brothers rather than father and son, with one being older than the other. Roger valued his childhood friends from New Norway, Edberg and Ferintosh, as well as those he made later in life. Roger was dearly loved and will be sincerely missed by all who knew him.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In loving memory of Walter Tomaszewski
1919 ~ 2002 A twenty-year heavenly anniversary is upon us, For that is the year that we lost you.
It does not seem like twenty years But then it seems like an eternity too. Weeks slip by so quickly And all too soon the months turn into years. Beautifully the wonderful memories never end, And smiles now often replace the tears. This will be the second year You will have your daughter Pat joining you. For she left us way too soon last year,
But we take comfort in knowing she is there with you. Written with love, Your children and loving wife April 2022
The most important way to remember those you will never forget.

Q. What area does the Battle River Community Foundation serve?
A. The Battle River Community Foundation serves the area from Camrose west to Gwynne, south to Bashaw and Alliance, east to Hughenden, and north to Highway 14.
Battle River Community Foundation
Continued from page 22
Generally, the respondents indicated they would walk one to three blocks to catch the bus. Responses were consistent with how they would like to see Camrose Public transit grow including: more bus routes, more days per week, more hours per day, and implementing monthly passes.
With regards to the Taxi Tokens program, 75 per cent of respondents indicated they do not use the program, and 25 per cent saying they do use the program.
In a general question about what type of transit respondents would like to see the City of Camrose implement, the responses included: another bus and route, out-of-town transit (to Edmonton and area, or Calgary), full bus system (to include multiple buses and routes every day).
The survey asked if the City of Camrose should investigate an on-demand transit service, to which 68 per cent responded “yes” and 32 per cent responded “no”.
Council inquires
Councillor David Francoeur inquired as to whether or not there would be consideration given to acquiring another bus.
Freeborn said the new bus arrived in November 2021 and the City sold the one they were using in 2021. “At this time, we only have the one bus in our fleet.”
Francoeur asked if the City considered keeping and using the old bus on the north side, or making routes every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
Johnson replied that the condition of the old bus was assessed and that salvaging it was the best option. He added that the City would look into acquiring another bus in the future, if required
Councillor Agnes Hoveland asked how the on-demand service differed from using the Handi-van or Taxi Tokens.
Johnson explained that a taxi or Handi-van service works on the premise of picking up and taking to a destination, then being available for another user versus the on-demand, which would be a bus service that picks up a multitude of riders who have requested specific pick-up times and locations as well as users along the route, “More of a group taxi.”
He further explained that the bus driver would be aware of what users there are and what times they were being picked up, so the driver would change the route or direction to accommodate the on-demand users. “It is a lot more flexible and would be a bus-type of scenario, not a single-user service, like a taxi.”
Hoveland asked if that would take longer.
Johnson replied that it could, and that it would be part of that service.
Freeborn spoke about other communities in Alberta that are using the on-demand bus service.
“Each municipality has made it unique to their own. Some only use it as an off-hours to their fixed route. Some, like Cochrane, do not have a fixed route at all anymore, so all their buses are on
demand. Edmonton uses their on-demand in underserved areas. It would be determining what is best for Camrose.”
Councillor DJ Ilg inquired about the cost of adding a new bus to the fleet, and what the approximate delivery times would be on a new bus.
Freeborn responded approximately $150,000 to $160,000 for the cost, and that the new bus the City acquired last year was ordered in July and arrived in November.
Francoeur asked if there are grants from either the provincial or federal governments that could be utilized for the purchase of a new bus and possible operational costs.
Freeborn said that currently there are no provincial grants, but there are a few federal grants that administration is investigating.
City of Camrose Financial Services general manager Travis Bouck advised council that any changes to service levels, such as adding new routes or purchasing a new bus, would be something council should bring up during the budget planning process.
Councillor Joy-Anne Murphy inquired about the financial impact of Taxi Tokens that are possibly being lost or hoarded.
Bouck said, “Since the inception of the program, we have been expensing the tokens when they are turned in based upon the assumption that the services have been provided at that time. As such, there is a risk to the City that someone could be hoarding a number of tokens and when they are turned in, the City would record an expense in excess of budgeted amounts.”
He cautioned council that often in trying to improve a program, the City tends to incur additional administrative hours to manage the “better” system. “We are trying to balance cost benefit from the perspective of we are
trying to provide this service to the public at a very low cost without having to add additional staff. This is the best solution we have come up with.”
Bouck did suggest that the City could consider tokens that would expire at the end of June every few years and replace with a new kind of token causing the older ones to expire to lower the risk of loss, but reiterated his concern that too many more controls for something that is a relatively low cost and material risk to the City could end up costing more in the long run.
Council accepted the report as information and requested more information with regards to an on-demand service, more frequent service, service to the north side and any possible grants that may be available.

Deer Meadows giving tree
By Lori Larsen
Just inside the lobby of the Deer Meadows residence stands an artificial (some would call Christmas) tree currently adorned with a slew of brand new socks in a variety of styles, colours and sizes, all waiting to be delivered to those in need in our community.
It only took a week for the tree to be covered in socks donated by residents and staff and their family and guests, which will soon be taken off and distributed throughout the community for those in need of keeping their tootsies warm.
The idea was spurred by residents enjoying the colourful socks worn by The Bethany Group Deer Meadows manager David Saunders. He admits he has a collection of fun socks, courtesy of his seven-year-old daughter Eve, who gets a kick out of getting them for her dad.
Not only is the giving tree idea a lot of fun for the residents of Deer Meadows, it is a way for residents to feel connected to the community. Everyone benefits.
Once the tree is back down to the bare branches, the residents are considering the next donation initiative that will once again adorn the branches of the Deer Meadows giving tree.

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.

Housing market still strong here
By Murray Green
Camrose residential market continues to see strong market activity compared to the lows of 2020. In fact, there were a total of 104 reported sales in 2022 quarter one, which is the second highest number of sales reported in the City of Camrose since 2014, only being surpassed by the 109 sales reported the same time last year.
“The surprising increase in activity in 2021 was thought to be a result of pent up demand created by the lockdowns in 2020, but as the data will show, this increased activity has continued unbated for five quarters in a row with no sign of slowing down,” shared Harrison Bowker Valuation Group senior appraiser Jacob Slabbert.
“For all the positive changes, the local, provincial, national and global economies all remain fragile. Whether it’s the war in Ukraine, record high oil prices, a new COVID-19 variant, a major climate disaster, or some other life-changing event, we now know that the fortunes of all economies could change quickly and dramatically. Nevertheless, the City of Camrose has always shown to be resilient over the years and it is hopeful that this trend will continue as we progress through 2022.”
The average sale price in 2022 quarter one was $320,263, which is a slight decreased of -0.41 per cent from last quarter, but an increase of 4.86 per cent from the same time last year. The rolling 12-month average increased by 1.17 per cent.
The median sale price in 2022 quarter one was $300,950, which is an increase of 3.24 per cent from last quarter and an increase of 4.68 per cent from the same time last year. The rolling 12-month average increased by 1.16 per cent.
There were 20 sales over $400,000 in 2022 quarter one, which is four more than last quarter, but five less than 2021 quarter one.
The average days on market was 71 days, which is down 16 days from last quarter and down 32 days from 2021 quarter one.
In rural Camrose County, there were 12 reported sales in 2022 quarter one, which is down four sales compared to last quarter and down 10 sales compared to 2021 quarter one. The average days on market was 69 days, which is down 36 days compared to 2021 quarter one.
In rural Flagstaff County, there were nine reported sales in 2022 quarter one, which is up six sales from last quarter and up six sales compared to 2021 quarter one. The average days on market was 179 days, which is down three days compared to 2021 quarter one.
“The recent CMHC Rental Market report for the City of Camrose notes that although the average monthly rent for apartment units has remained relatively stable over the last few years, the overall vacancy rate declined from 6.7 per cent in 2020 to 1.6 per cent in 2021.”
