Crush out of playoffs

By Murray Green

Camrose Crush lost to the Red Deer Rustlers in six semifinal games of the North Central Hockey League playoffs.

The Camrose Crush lost 7-2 in the sixth game of the series in Penhold on March 4.

Red Deer scored the first two goals before RJ Reed replied in the opening period. The Rustlers then added another two tallies prior to Ryley Bennefield notching the second Camrose marker.

Red Deer then scored a fifth goal to lead 5-2 after 20 minutes. The teams played even in the middle frame, but Red Deer scored two more in the third period on the power play.

Goalie Connor Dobberthien stopped 27 of 34 shots he faced. The Crush also recorded 34 shots on goal.

The Lacombe Generals and Red Deer will meet in the league final series.

Crush notes

Bennefield led the Crush in playoff scoring with six goals and eight assists in four games. Only two players on the Crush played in all six playoff games.

Reni Sentana Ries

Reinhard Gustav Mueller

1943 ~ 2023

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our loving spouse, father, grandfather and dear friend, Reni Sentana Ries of Ryley, Alberta, on March 1, 2023, at the age of 79 years.

Reni was born in Neumunster, Germany in 1943, and immigrated to Canada in May 1963. In his 60 years in Canada, Reni resided primarily in the Edmonton and surrounding area. Reni worked in Alberta for 30 years as a mechanical engineering technologist, making many contributions to the early development of the oil sands in northern Alberta. Reni was resolute in his search for truth, and was undaunted by the headwinds that often accompany any ambassador of new ideas. In 1994, Reni took up writing. He authored six of his own books, edited 25 books, and wrote the foreword to over 35 books. Reni loved and genuinely cared for the welfare of all living beings. His kindness and gentle spirit will surely live on in the memories of all who were fortunate to know him.

He is survived by his wife Uthrania Seila Sentana-Ries; children Daniel (Lisa), Benita, Herbert (Abra) and Werner; five grandchildren Jackie, Kristina, Anthony, Delayna Joy and Anna; stepchildren Jason and Sean; step-grandchildren Brittine, Taytem, Roan, Sarina and Danika; step-great-grandchildren William, Nathaniel, Jayden, Honey and Dustin; and numerous family and friends.

Reni was predeceased by one step-grandchild Stephanie.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on March 9, 2023 at Tofield Funeral Chapel, 5107-49 Street, Tofield, Alberta. Cremation will take place following the service.

Memorial donations may be made to the Soi Dog Foundation.

Brenda Lee Reinhardt

On February 28, 2023, Brenda Lee Reinhardt of Tofield passed away at the age of 57 years. She was predeceased by her loving husband Terry Reinhardt. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Gyna (Mitch) Houle and Kiah Reinhardt; stepdaughter Megan (Ryan) Abma/Sterr; grandchildren Colton and Egan; sisters Debbi Warren, Barb Warren and Tracey Warren; as well as numerous relatives and friends. She will also be dearly missed by her friends at Tofield Long Term Care.

A celebration of life will be held for both Terry and Brenda Reinhardt at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice.

Gladys Switzer

Gladys Switzer (nee Olsen) went to her eternal home on March 2, 2023. Born in Dodsland, Saskatchewan on July 21, 1927 to Chris and Nellie Olsen, Gladys grew up on the farm, the youngest of three children. On October 23, 1947, she married the love of her life, George Switzer, and two children Len and Donnalyn were born.

The couple moved to Camrose in 1949, where they continued to farm until 1957, when they moved into town. Gladys and George owned or partnered in various businesses through the years, including Camrose Tire and Rubber, Camrose Stationery and Camrose Office Machines and Furniture. Gladys also worked at Cameo and Mina Imports and, following George’s retirement, was secretary at the Camrose Church of God. Of all these experiences, her favourite was being home raising their two children. She enjoyed many family vacations, water fights with her nephews, many different crafts and flower gardening.

Gladys passed away peacefully at the long-term care facility in Tofield, where she was loved and given wonderful care. She was predeceased by her husband George in 2019, after 71 years of marriage.

Her family will miss her greatly, but celebrate her home-going.

Celebration of life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at Camrose Church of God.

Memorial donations may be made to the charity of one’s choice..

DOMANKO,

Anna Mae

Michael Llewellyn Watson

Michael Llewellyn Watson of Strathcona County, Alberta, was born on April 15, 1946 in Sudbury, Ontario to Marguerite and Llewellyn Watson. He died suddenly on February 23, 2023, at the age of 76 years. He is survived by his wife Marilyn; brother Kevin (Roberta); sister-in-law Margaret and brother-inlaw John (Jill); and many other relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his brother Gordon; sister Wendy; and brother-inlaw Michael Bland.

He grew up in Algoma Mills, where his family ran a tourist lodge. His interest in the outdoors was kindled on the lakes and rocks of the Canadian Shield, especially at his Uncle Walter’s camp on Manitoulin Island. This all led him to Laurentian University, where he graduated with a Masters degree in Biology. After working in Ontario on deer surveys and bear studies, he became the Resident Biologist at the University of Manitoba Field Station at Delta Marsh, Manitoba. He met Marilyn Rayner while they were both working at the Station. They later moved to Alberta.

Mike worked as a Fish and Wildlife Biologist for the Alberta Government from 1981 until he retired in 2005. He loved the rural life he shared with Marilyn, where he pursed his passions for woodworking, hunting and Labrador Retrievers. He planted hundreds of trees and extensively remodelled their home, which was heated with wood he cut on the property. He had a soft spot for animals and over the years, kept several different kinds as pets.

Cremation has taken place. There will be a private celebration of life at a later date. If you so wish, you may make a donation to Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) or the conservation organization of your choice.

We Heard Your Voice in the Wind Today

We heard your voice in the wind today, and we turned to see your face; The warmth of the wind caressed us, as we stood silently in place. We felt your touch in the sun today, as its warmth filled the sky; We closed our eyes for your embrace, and our spirits soared high. We saw your eyes in the window pane, as we watched the falling rain; It seemed as each raindrop fell, it quietly said your name. We held you close in our hearts today, it made us feel complete; You may have died, but you are not gone, you will always be a part of us. As long as the sun shines... the wind blows... the rain falls... You will live on inside of us forever, for that is all our hearts know.

Wishing for one more day

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to st and out from the re st but don’ t sk imp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size age, brand name and colour are some of the basics reader s want to know Without them, your ad may be overlooked

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay so you want to include all the import ant basics Don’ t us e strange abbreviations because our ads are de signed to spell all the import ant 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 re sponses, but a buyer who’s misled won’ t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else

State Your Pric e The cost of an item is one of the most import ant concerns of want ad reader s. Ads showing pric es are ones which get re sults. Giving a pric e also serves to “weed out” those buye rs not in your pric e range.

Be Acce ssible

Including a telephon e number or addres s puts you in touch with potential buye rs Be sure to st ate the hour s you can be reached: a caller who can’ t ge t through the firs t time of ten won’ t call again.

Don’t he sitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding adve rtising. Our professionally trained sale s staff know the rope s, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That ’s why we’re here to help you get the re sult s you de serve.
