Leonard George Zimmer
December 3, 1933 ~ April 14, 2022
Leonard George Zimmer, known as Lenny to family and friends, was the youngest son of Carl and Martha Zimmer born at home on December 3, 1933. Lenny grew up on the family farm in the heart of Spring Lake, first farming with his dad and brothers, and later working with his son. He never lost his love for the farm or the Spring Lake community.
Lenny married Marion Enright in July 1962 and raised a family of four, Cathy, Karen, Elaine and Darren. Family was important to Lenny. He looked forward to his children, grandchildren, and nieces and nephews visiting. Faith, family, friends, and farming brought much joy to his life.
Although most days were spent working the farm, Lenny made time for slowpitch games, old timers’ hockey, playing cards with the neighbours and Friday auction day. He was a long-time member of the Heisler Elks and volunteered with various organizations in the community.
He leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 59 years, Marion; his daughters Cathy (Peter Brown), Karen (David Chizen) and Elaine (Kerry Brown) and his son Darren (Cheryl Tourond); five grandchildren Mathew, Kristin, Colton, Breccan and Joshua; and step-grandchild Cory (Tori). He is survived by his sisters-in-law Peggy Zimmer and Jean Zimmer; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Leonard was predeceased by his granddaughter Julia Brown; his parents Carl and Martha; his sisters Sophie Stefanishion and Barbara Weremczuk; infant twin sisters Rosa and Rita Zimmer; and his brothers Alfred and Joseph.
We find comfort in knowing Lenny will forever be looking over us and his cherished fields of wheat and canola. He will be greatly missed, and the comfort and support of his family, friends and neighbours are appreciated.
A funeral mass was held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 from the St. Martin’s Roman Catholic Church, Heisler, with Fr. Kris Schmidt as celebrant. Interment has taken place in the Spring Lake Cemetery.
If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Leonard’s memory may be made to the Spring Lake Cemetery Fund, or to the charity of one’s choice.

Battle River Community Foundation
By Lori Larsen
Adding physical activity to otherwise busy lives can be challenging. For that reason, taking a moment to consider what is stopping you from becoming more physically active and how to work with those challenges is the first step towards taking that first step, literally.
Camrose PCN exercise specialist Connie Harrison speaks candidly on the barriers that often come between a person and the decision to get active.
“If you are looking at your life and want to make some changes, you have to realize that you will, for sure, run into barriers.”
Acknowledging that at the very beginning will save a person from being harsh on themselves when something does happen to derail them.
“People will fall off the wagon and they need to know that from the very beginning. The only cure for that is to get back up, dust yourself off and start over again.”
Harrison added that if a person is not prepared for when they fall off the wagon, then they may just quit for altogether. “You just need to look ahead and determine what could be barriers and plan around that, and do what ever makes it easier for you to stick to your goals.
“You have to have a Plan B that addresses how you are going to meet those barriers. Try to be flexible about that and not be obsessive about it and beat yourself up over falling off the wagon.”
Harrison suggests focusing on the activity rather than the result, by choosing something fun, and something you are most likely to continue doing.
Once you begin to be more active, focus on the short-term benefits such as better moods and more energy and build from there.
Barriers will arise
One of the most frequently talked about barrier to implementing activity into a person’s life is finding and making the time.
However, one of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to think they have to dedicate 30 minutes to an hour in one shot, and that can be difficult for many to chisel out of their day.
“It has to make sense for your lifestyle,” said Harrison. “That is something we have to figure out with clients, finding the time of day that is going to work, where they see it fitting into their lifestyle.”
Harrison advises doing short spurts of activity. “Be active for 10 minutes, three times each day, or more. Take active breaks at work by walking around your desk or office area. Walk or bike to work or when doing errands (when feasible).”
When at home, Harrison advises trying to do your physical activity before sitting down. “When we are sitting in a chair or recliner or on the couch watching something, that is an unbelievable amount of inertia not wanting to get up out of that chair to do something.
“It is way harder than you think to make yourself do stuff while enjoying a show.”
She suggests that at the very least, if you are watching a lengthy program, try to commit to getting up and doing 10 minutes of activity every hour. “Normally, it is recommended every 20 to 30 minutes to get up, but you have to start somewhere. We can’t just sit there for hours on end, it is so bad for the body.”
Come rain or shine getting outside is a great option.
“Fresh air plus exercise, you get a double bang for your buck,” laughed Harrison. Not to mention, the change of scenery outdoor activity offers, which can ward off boredom.
Prepare for hot weather with a hat, sunblock and a water bottle, and find shady areas. When it is cold, dress in layers, cover your head, hands and feet with clothing and footwear made for cold temperatures.
“If the weather is not cooperating, head to the indoor track.”
Remember to always be wise when being active in the outdoors. If you feel too cold or overheated, then stop and rest where it is warmer or cooler.
Long work hours, home life commitments and other priorities take precedent in life, leaving people feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, thinking the last thing they want to do is more activity.
“Once again, do shorter periods of activity when you are most energized, such as in the morning or on your lunch hour.
Harrison said that the ironic thing about being active is that it will reenergize you, help eliminate a mid-afternoon slump, or give you that burst of energy at night to prepare for the next day. As the saying goes, “A body in motion stays in motion.”
“Barriers are huge. Not only do we actually put them up, but there are all sorts of barriers that get thrown into your day. You have to figure out what you are going to do about them when those situations arise, and be realistic that this is actually part of life and we just have to roll with it and figure out how to manage those barriers.”
The most important thing is to make the decision now to become more active to suit your schedule, your choice of activity but mostly your lifestyle. Before you know it, it will just become part of your lifestyle. And when life throws you a curve ball, go to Plan B and run with it.
“Any movement is better than none,” concluded Harrison.
For more information on incorporating physical activity into your life, consult with your family physician or an exercise specialist. To consult with Connie Harrison, contact the PCN at 780-608-4927.
Ranchers, farmers and mental health
By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot
With calving season well underway and seeding on the horizon, I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for all of the farmers and ranchers in Battle River-Crowfoot who are hard at work feeding our province, country, and the world. It’s not an easy industry to be in with long hours, inclement weather, massive increases in costs, supply chain problems, political issues like government taxes and mandates, the rural-urban divide, having to be price takers on both inputs and products sold, and et cetera.
As the fifth generation to be involved in our family farm in the Special Areas, I know there is no better way of life than life on the farm or ranch. But that doesn’t make it easy and in the midst of all the good are many challenges, ones that can have a real impact on mental health.
We are seeing mental health and well-being becoming a bigger priority in both the home and the workplace. Unfortunately, due to the busy seasons in agriculture that demand long hours without a break, farmers, ranchers, and their families are continuing to fall through the cracks.
As we thank those involved in the agriculture sector, I want to affirm that there are supports available for those who find themselves struggling. Reach out, whether this is you, a loved one, or a neighbour. The stigma around mental health can change, but we need to do it together.
A few available supports include: National Suicide Prevention Line 1-833-456-4566; Alberta Mental Health Hotline 1-877-303-2642; and Crisis Services Canada 1-833-456-4566/Text 45645.
If you or someone you know is under duress, don’t be afraid to ask for help. You could save someone’s life.
Canada’s Conservatives understand how mental health issues have impacted Canadians. My colleague, Todd Doherty, MP for Prince George-Cariboo, passed a motion calling for a consolidated national suicide hotline. The implementation of this helpline would make it easier for those who are struggling to get help. This is an initiative that has received a lot of support from municipalities across Battle River-Crowfoot.
My Conservative colleagues and I will continue to go to bat for our agriculture industry, including working to address the many challenges faced by farmers and ranchers. Again, I would like to thank all farmers and ranchers who ensure that Canada and the world are well-fed with ethically sourced and nutritious food. Your contributions are deeply appreciated.
It is an honour to serve as the Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot, a region where agriculture thrives. I would like to extend my best wishes to our agriculture industry as we approach the calving and seeding season.

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.
