Mildred Christine Bjorgum
March 31, 1927 ~ August 6, 2022
Mildred Christine Bjorgum of Camrose, AB, formerly of Kingman, AB, passed away on Saturday, August 6, 2022, at the age of 95 years.
Mildred (nee Lyseng) Bjorgum was born in the Armena District to Emil and Martha Lyseng. Mildred was baptized and confirmed at Scandia Lutheran Church. Norwegian was spoken in the home, and Mildred did not learn English until she began school. Throughout her life, she was very proud of her Norwegian ancestry. She was schooled at the one-room Lyseng schoolhouse located near the family farm. She enjoyed the music often played in her house by her fiddle-playing father, and she also became an accomplished piano player. Checkers was also a favourite pastime, and she willingly humbled many challengers. Mildred continued her post-secondary education in Camrose at the Canadian Lutheran Bible College. Lloyd and Mildred were married in Armena on August 14, 1948. They lived on the Bjorgum family farm, near Kingman. Their marriage was blessed with six children. Mildred always remained active in her church; playing music, and often taking on administrative positions, such as church treasurer.
In 1980, after more than thirty years of farming, Lloyd and Mildred moved to Rosebud for eighteen years, where they made many friends. She became the Canada Postmaster in Rosebud, and enjoyed the many acquaintances she met there. Mildred was quickly well known in their new community, and again became very active in the Community Church. She also was well known for her knitting, crocheting, sewing, baking, jam and syrup making. Lloyd and Mildred often had their grandchildren staying with them during the summer holidays. The grandkids have many happy memories of their grandparents. The couple returned to Camrose in 1998.
In April 2010, Lloyd and Mildred moved together into Rosealta Lodge. He passed away on October 23, 2010 at the age of 89 years.
Mildred remained active in Rosealta, where she would often play the organ before the noon meal, for visiting church singing groups, and for memorial services.
Family was always important to Mildred and she took great joy in her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and all of the “outlaws”.
Mildred was predeceased by her husband Lloyd; sisters Elsie and Luella; brothers Richard and Arthur; three nephews; and one niece. She will be missed by her brother Wilbert Lyseng.
Mildred is survived by six children Anne Knutson, Grace Hammer, Paul (Elsie) Bjorgum, Fern (Paul) Christensen, Janet Hovis and Sheldon (Edna-Mae) Bjorgum; numerous grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
Mildred lived her life with love for her family, charity for those less fortunate, a song in her heart, and Christian faith.
A Celebration of Life and Fellowship was held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, August 15, 2022 at the Masonic Hall, 5021-48 Street, Camrose.
Memorial gifts may be given to the Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute, Camrose Community Church, or to a charity of one’s choice.

Nancy Dale Muller
December 2, 1966 ~ August 7, 2022
Nancy Dale Muller of Camrose, Alberta, formerly of Sylvan Lake, passed away at St. Mary’s Hospital on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at the age of 55 years, after a brief battle with lung cancer.
Nancy was born December 2, 1966, in Selkirk, Manitoba, the fifth child of Hubert and Allie Huggard. Nancy started school in Selkirk before her family moved to Camrose in 1972, and then Bittern Lake in 1975, where she lived until her graduation from Camrose Composite High School in 1984. In high school, Nancy participated in work experience as an Administrative Assistant at AFSC and went on to work in both the Red Deer and Lacombe offices over her 35-plus year career.
Nancy was an avid Oilers fan; she loved concerts, BVJ, ice cream, margaritas with friends, traveling, Hawaii, and anything that involved spending time with her girls. She was a gentle soul, kindhearted to the core, and a friend to all.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughters Ceanna Muller (Tanner Cherniawski) and Cassidy Muller; the father of her children Cory Muller; siblings Lorayne (Glen) Wilcox, Linda (Bert) Berezowski, Mark (Sherry) Huggard, Kathy (Chris) Stern, Tracy (Travis) Culbert, and Kelly (Jose) Hernandez; mother-in-law Waltraud Muller; brothers-in-law Tom and Tyrone; as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
Nancy was predeceased by her parents Hubert and Allie Huggard; and father-in-law Berhard Muller.
Comfort and support offered to the family at this time are very much appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. Heartfelt gratitude goes to Dr. Nichol and the staff of Unit 2 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose for their excellent care and compassion.
A funeral service was held Thursday, August 11, 2022, at the Burgar Memorial Chapel.
If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Nancy’s memory may be made to Alberta SPCA or Lung Cancer Canada.

By Lori Larsen
Aria Gutmann is a highspirited little six-year-old whose infectious smile has a way of lighting up a room, not to mention an arena.
By all accounts, the first 27 days of Aria’s life seemed normal. Then, with the onset of her first seizure, Aria’s life, supported and accompanied by her devoted family, mother Andrea, father Garratt, elder sister Alexis and eventually younger sister Addy, veered off on a challenging path.
Eventually, Aria was diagnosed with PACS1, caused by a mutation of one gene, a condition which causes intellectual disability, speech and language difficulties, and distinct facial features.
“For Aria, this included seizures as a baby, kidney issues, and a heart murmur which was repaired,” explained Andrea, adding that the disabilities can range from mild to moderate, and often producing speech is very difficult, “Although Aria’s understanding of language is quite high.”
Through a slew of visits to the Stollery Children’s Hospital, a battering of tests and stay-overs, Aria’s journey began–a journey filled with clinical intervention and what is likely to be lifelong medical support, but also a journey that has proven once again that love has the potential to conquer all.
“Early on, Aria had to have a lot of medications which had to be administered orally, resulting in her having some sensory concerns when it comes to certain triggers such as eating or even going into a parkade or tunnel, which she automatically associates with going to the hospital.
“If she sees blue gloves, she thinks nurse. But the one place where nothing is bad (in the sense of having tolerating clinical procedures) is the hockey rink.
“Every positive memory, social interaction, smiles have occurred at the rink,” smiled Andrea.
“We actually started billeting Kodiak’s players when our oldest daughter Alexis, who is now 12, was just over two years old, and Alexis had just started initiation hockey before Aria was born. So we spent a lot of time at the rink.”
However, when Aria was born and started experiencing seizures, the family decided to forego billeting for that season.
“We were still pretty new to the billeting about three years in. We were also new to the Camrose community.”
But it didn’t take long for the Gutmann family to realize the power of community and the true meaning of family.
“Even when Aria was in the hospital, the Kodiaks players would come out and shovel our driveway. It is such a family.”
They started billeting again the next season, when Aria was just shy of a year old. “Our billet was Slater Strong, who was the biggest kid ever,” laughed Andrea.
The bond between the players and Aria was instant every time. She beamed when she saw them and they didn’t shy away.
“The boys (players) would literally just take her and go. You would think these boys would be scared of a baby, but it only took a few times holding her and the boys would get more confident.
“It didn’t really matter who we billeted, they (players) were just kind of drawn to her,” commented Andrea.
With the atmosphere of the rink playing such an important role,
these players are the positive reinforcement Aria needs to continue her growth, while, on the other hand, Aria possesses a sense of calming for these otherwise energetic young men.
“She loves the rink and everyone at the rink knows her. She is always happy when she is there and that is contagious.”
So much so, that even when the players are having a rough go, Andrea says their spirits seem to lift the minute they see Aria, who more often than not will wait for them in the hallway to the dressing room offering fist bumps, high fives, huge smiles and lots of giggles.
“One day during a fist bump, Aria actually said ‘hi’ to the player and he was so excited he had to let me know,” recalled Andrea, adding that speech is the one thing they really work hard on with Aria, so this was monumental for the player.
Outside of the rink in the Gutmann’s home (like many of the gracious billets) is a place where players can just be themselves, a place where they can feel that sense of home that they miss from being away from their own.
“In the course of all this, I also took on the responsibility of organizing the players into the schools,” said Andrea. “So they are always at our house. And it doesn’t matter who the players are, as soon as they are in our house, Aria will come over
and scooch in beside them on the couch or hug them.
And despite Andrea trying to warm to the newer players, it comes so natural to Aria that it is happening before anyone can, or would for that matter, say otherwise.
Even with the new player this year and the family being unsure about how he would react to Aria’s unfiltered affection, Andrea said he took to her right away. “He didn’t really have a choice,” laughed Andrea. “Aria just latched onto him kind of like ‘you’re mine now’ and he just embraced it.”
For the players, it is as though Aria were their own little sister, treating her with the same care, love and patience.
“When I watch them, they authentically engage with her,” praised Andrea. “She won’t eat meat regularly, but she will eat meat off the fork of one of the boys. It is so amazing to see them just innately start feeding her at the table.
“We don’t get to spend a lot of time with the boys. But dinner time for us is that loud crazy time after the boys have chased the kids around playing with them, they just have that time. Then 7 p.m. rolls around, and everyone goes to bed.”
Now that Aria is older, Andrea said she qualifies for Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD). “We are always trying to find a way to improve her speech, a way to get her connected in the community with talking.
“We have a lady who does her respite care. She takes Aria a couple days a week. So we asked Boris (Rybalka, Kodiaks general manager) if he would mind
if Aria and her respite caregiver came to the rink and watch practices. He was immediately on board.”
Andrea said Aria helps with water bottles, if appropriate, but always has her iPad there practicing speech. “If you want to bring the best out of children, you play to their strengths,” she smiled. “I will always check in to make sure it is okay to bring her out.”
However, it never seems to be an issue. The players go above and beyond to make this sweet little girl feel like she is part of the team. “She was given a mini stick that they made out of a regular stick and taped all up so she could use it in sledge hockey. On picture day, Aria happened to be at the rink, so the team insisted she be in the team picture.”
Beyond the tight-knit closeness the Gutmanns have with the Kodiaks organization, they have also developed a strong connection with others in the rink family.
“During COVID, Aria started walking in her walker, so we would take her to the arena where she
could do laps and people got to see her, and when COVID shut everything down the last time, people saw she was in a walker,” explained Andrea. “When families were first allowed back in the arena as COVID restrictions started to ease, only a handful of people saw her actually walking without the walker. When we came back this season, there were people who were shocked to see her running.” The Gutmanns have also been involved with Special Olympics Camrose and Andrea commends the work they do to not only build community within the organization, but inclusivity in the larger community as well. “Carol Wideman’s son, Preston, would light up when he saw Aria at the hockey rink and come over and high five her. The rink is a hub connection for family.” Currently, Aria is registered in Camrose Minor Hockey U5, which she began on her sledge, then within a month, was up on skates. “Whenever they could, KoSubmitted diaks players Top photo: Kodiaks player Lane Brock- would come out off and Aria hanging out in the back- and work with yard around a fire pit. Above photo: Aria snuggles with the kids. Those Kodiaks player Jarrett Timmerman. boys do so much Photo to left: Kodiaks player Mathieu for this commuGautier pulls Aria around the ice on her nity from serving sledge. breakfasts at the school, where they high five students, to other volunteer work throughout the community. When I have sent them to other schools for volunteering, I have received nothing but positive feedback.” Andrea says it is a reciprocal relationship, giving of their time to volunteer with organizations such as Special Olympics Camrose and the Kodiaks, has come back tenfold to the family. “Knowing that the community is there,” she paused, “is so comforting. They showed up for us when we needed them. You get out of it what you put into it.” The Gutmanns celebrated another milestone for Aria on February 25, when she received a service dog from Dogs with Wings. “Those dogs are incredible. It has quickly become her best friend.” This story of a little girl and her bears–a group of young men brought into a community to play hockey, but leaving behind them so much more, is a shining example of what a community can do when it pulls together.
Helpful Tips for Writing Classifi ed 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 fi ner 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 numberoraddress 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 fi rst 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.

Join the walk for kidney health
By Lori Larsen
Join others on September 17 in a walk to support the Northern Alberta and Territories Kidney and Transplant Community, either virtually or in-person.
Those wishing to participate in the in-person walk are asked to meet at the Bill Fowler Centre (5402-48 Avenue) for registration at 11 a.m. with a start time of noon.
With the return to an in-person event, the Kidney Foundation reminds all participants of the commitment to following COVID-19 guidelines established by public health authorities and to respect the safety of others.
Participants wishing to support the cause but desire to walk on their own are encouraged to send in a photo of their own walk tag to the Kidney Walk on social media.
To register for the Camrose 2022 Kidney Walk or donate to the Kidney Walk, visit kidneywalk.ca and click on Find A Walk Near You/Alberta (Northern) and the Territories/Locations/ Camrose.
