Security, insecurity, security…
My day was clearly laid out. I knew exactly where to start, what I had to finish and when I’d take breaks. Yep, absolutely clear. Right up until I opened email. An email from amazon. com said that a laptop computer for $1,249 USD would be delivered to Bob G in Oklahoma City. The email had the amazon.com logo and listed a “help” phone number. The kicker: The laptop was to be charged to my email address. Disbelief. Clang, clang, clang in my head. Heart thudding. I replied to the email to say, “I did not authorize this purchase. Cancel the order.” I immediately phoned my credit card company to say this was not a purchase I authorized. Fortunately, the order had not yet come to them for payment. Then I phoned the help number to ensure the order really was cancelled. A nice-sounding man was sympathetic. He’d try to cancel the order, but he needed more information to verify that my order cancelling was legitimate. I’d have to go to a store, buy a Google gift card… The light dawned. The help number was part of the scam. I ended the phone call and blocked the number so they can never call me again. I felt grubby and unclean after dealing with that scummy energy. Over the next 24 hours, I changed all my passwords for anything online that could involve money. Fortunately, I did not lose any money. I did, however, lose about two hours of my life. And something else. I remembered that just a few weeks ago, I’d almost been sucked in to a different scam. Because I’d been sucked in briefly–twice in just a few weeks–I lost confidence in my ability to recognize fraud. I felt unsafe, like there was danger everywhere; that nothing and nobody could be trusted. The world felt darker and scarier. Meanwhile, another weird message started popping up on my computer screen. Whenever I opened Word, Outlook, Excel or PowerPoint–any of my Microsoft Office software–I got a message saying, “There is a problem with your Office license. You may be a victim of software counterfeiting.” The message continued, “Counterfeit software can be dangerous and poses several risks, including greater exposure to malware and viruses. Help keep your files safe and get robust security with a genuine Office license today.” I could click “Get genuine Office” and “Learn more”. I knew that was a scam. My Microsoft Office software was installed months ago by my computer maintenance guy. I trust him so much, I allow him to access my computer remotely. Why would my software suddenly become counterfeit? I wasn’t going to click anything that might be malware. But the pop-up was annoying. I asked my computer guy if he could please take over my computer and stop the message from popping up. Guess what? Turns out the Microsoft message was legitimate! My computer guy explained, “That counterfeit message comes to one out of 100 Office installations I’ve done. It just gets deactivated, so Windows automatically thinks it was activated with a counterfeit license. I reused the same license now to fix it. It’s a 100 per cent legit Office license. Just Office has a glitch sometimes.” For a while I felt shaky. I’d almost got sucked into two scams, but didn’t believe a legitimate Microsoft message. Not only was the world scary. If I couldn’t trust my own abilities, that was even scarier. Then I realized. Yes, I’d been briefly sucked in, but I did not lose money. The fraud was recognized in time. So, now I can warn you. Here goes. The scam two weeks ago started with a Facebook message from someone I trust saying a government grant could provide thousands of dollars. Someone had hacked my friend’s Facebook page. This week’s scam started with an email from “Order Dispatch care@amazonusdispatch.com” with an amazon. com logo and a help number. Now you know. You won’t get sucked in. How cool is that? Hope you feel more secure. ***

Shandro in obvious non-compliance with his own COVID-19 precaution rules. Bravo! Hutchinson’s (June 8) Reflections nailed it when she wrote of minister Shandro’s non-compliance with the COVID-19 precautions, which he helped create…plus, he seems to feel he owes Albertans no apology. Airdrie-East MLA Angela Pitt rightfully asks, “Why, if Kenney’s party can ignore restrictions, should restaurant owners not get more leeway as well?” She adds, “Much of the public concern about this incident has been about the hypocrisy of senior officials breaking their own rules.” Minister Shandro (backed by Kenney) is violating the COVID-19 social-distancing rules and the fines they both helped establish. Surely the health minister should provide a role model for Albertans. I applaud the teenager who contacted Alberta at Noon asking how much these political officials will be fined. I would add that it must be the maximum fine. Kenney was quick to assure Albertans that the diners had all paid for their own dinners…but, Albertans want to be sure that the tab for this “dinner and beverages” doesn’t show up on the various expense accounts. Taxpayers must not pay for this Sky Palace misadventure. This dinner is not the real issue. This compliance-breaking dinner is simply a symbol of all that Shandro has done wrong from day one. That list of wrongs is endless, beginning back when minister Shandro publicly yelled at a fellow doctor who dared suggest a “conflict of interest” for a health minister to be co-owner with a wife running a private health care related business (i.e. Vital Partners). It runs the gamut from his February 2020 ripping-up of the seven-year Doctors’ Contract, which caused some doctors to leave Alberta (exact numbers are debatable), right through the inept handling of COVID’s tracing, testing and lame vaccination roll-outs. (i.e. Why were teachers, major frontline workers, not vaccinated right at the beginning?) The repeated closures and re-openings of schools (with no science-based evidence) created a risky environ-
ment for students/parents, teachers, school and custodial staff, bus drivers, etc.). And to cap it all off, Shandro is going along with the (insane) promotion of the Calgary Stampede, despite the risks of it being a superspreader, as numerous variants (e.g. 60 per cent variants) are now responsible for new cases in parts of the UK. After all these missteps, this Sky Palace dinner is just the “straw that broke the Shandro camel’s back”. Disappointed and appalled. Marion Leithead, Bawlf Moving care
The moving of Galahad Care Centre residents to other area facilities in early June because of staff shortages came as a big shock to me. This facility has cared for many of our area’s residents, including some of my own family. These seniors have lived full lives and have contributed much to our communities. To move them out of their home with short notice and little explanation was devastating for residents and families. Why did Alberta Health Services not inform the families and community of these staff shortages, which had apparently been ongoing for months, until the decision had already been made to move residents? Galahad Care Centre is located in a caring rural community. If people in the community had been made aware of the problem, they might have been able to help with finding a solution before it came to the crisis point of having to relocate residents. For example, I saw many of the positions available shared on Facebook after the moving of residents had been announced. Perhaps community organizations would have stepped up to offer recruitment incentives, like housing or transportation assistance. It appears to me that perhaps the problem in finding staff is that many of the positions offered are part-time and with few benefits. To recruit and maintain a good core of staff, full-time permanent positions with benefits need to be available. Our residents deserve that. Galahad Care Centre has consistently been one of the best continuing care facilities in the province. The family atmosphere cre-
ated by caring staff, Auxiliary members and community volunteers is second to none. Alberta Health Services needs to give residents, their families, and the community a firm date as to when residents can move back home to Galahad Care Centre. If you are concerned about this issue, I urge you to contact Leanne Grant, Alberta Health Services area director (Leanne. Grant@ ahs.ca); Tyler Shandro, Minister of Health (healthminister@gov.ab.ca); Ms. Jackie Lovely, MLA Camrose (camrose @ assembly.ab.ca). John Oberg, Forestburg Technology challenges
Thank you, Arnold Malone, for your guest editorial on June 8 about technology. I recently tried to contact Service Canada regarding the tax withholding from my CCP. After several phone calls where my wait time of 30 minutes extended to about 45 to 50 minutes (including one made at 8:30 a.m. when the office opened), I decided to go to the Service Canada office in Camrose. The staff there was very helpful and, after watching them inputting my request for several minutes, I understood why I wasn’t able to do it online. When the task was completed, I was informed that it would take three months for the changes to be reflected, but I could try calling! Got to love technology. Maralyn Shepley, Camrose Learn facts
Thank you, Ed Rostaing, for your letter in the June 15 edition of The Booster. Finally some light on an issue which, so far, has generated mostly heat. Your calm, measured voice is a welcome addition to the discussion of a horrible event which has gripped us all. You have reminded us to learn the facts before we draw conclusions and demonize everyone in sight. Let’s not get mired in blame instead of doing something about the inequities which still exist. Thank you for calling upon our better selves to take over the process of healing our nation. Peter LeBlanc, Camrose

Karwandy runs with Maverick Party By Murray Green
Douglas Karwandy will be the Maverick Party candidate for Battle RiverCrowfoot in the next election. “I was born and raised in Alberta into a family of eight brothers and sisters, where family, church, school and music were the biggest parts of my youth. My father, a veteran of the Second World War, worked hard as a photographer and businessman to support his family, so I learned about community and volunteering from my parents, who devoted their limited spare time to church groups, community groups and engaging in politics with local MLAs and MPs. Ralph Klein, Peter Lougheed, Don Mazankowski, Steve West, Leon Benoit, Jay Hill are the politicians I have admired throughout my life,” said Karwandy. “In my youth, I traveled to many other countries, exploring people’s cultures, which helped me form my views of the world around us and appreciate the incredible gifts we have here in Western Canada,” he noted. “I also worked in a brewery in Edmonton, spent time hauling oil, tank cleaning in the oil patch, and currently work in the agriculture industry in parts. “I met my wife while we were both working on a cruise ship sailing out of New Orleans. We have been happily married for 22 years and are continuing to raise our family of four. I was a capital ‘C’ conservative until the election of 2019. I came to realize that our system is broken and no party was willing to fix it. So, I joined the Maverick Party with the hope that my voice could
Douglas Karwandy
carry the message that the West will be fairly represented or seek independence.” Karwandy wants what is best for Alberta. “Here in the West, we’ve never been given the option to vote for a party solely focused on serving the citizens of the West. All we’ve had was the limited choice between the Liberals and the Conservatives. “The story of Canadian politics is a story of no voice for the West, but for the first time in Canadian history, that is about to change. With the Maverick Party, we will finally have storytellers of our own to champion the West and represent our best interests. We must end the cycle and refuse to vote for the globalist, scandalous Liberals, or the Conservatives who have taken the West’s support for granted.” Karwandy wants a Western voice in Canada. “I am ready to be that voice and represent the constituents of Battle RiverCrowfoot with the Maverick Party as our party.”

The course is set up for anyone who is buying a home! It used to be a requirement that you be a first time home buyer, however, because some people have not bought a home in years we have changed our requirements. The program is open to anyone! The real estate industry is ever-changing and new knowledge is always gained from our program, even by the most seasoned buyer. The course offers information not only on the real estate process, but the mortgage process, inspections and legal matters. When you complete the online course you will get a certificate of completion. Present it to your chosen Realtor® at Coldwell and start shopping! Once you complete your purchase and keys are in your hand you will be given a cheque for $1,000 to spend however you see fit. Some people have chosen to use the money for appliances, furniture, or save it for their emergency ‘fix’ fund. We are just so grateful to be able to give this money to our Home Program Buyers! Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty is a company that takes pride in community involvement and since COVID-19 we have been unable to interact in the usual manner. This program was a touch point for many of us to engage and give back. We look forward to SEPTEMBER when we RELAUNCH our course for the duration of 2021! If you are interested in the September program, please contact 780-672-7761 or email brr@coldwellbanker.ca for more information.

Rotary Club begins construction on Stoney Creek pavilion By Murray Green
The Rotary Club of Camrose broke ground and started construction on a Rotary Pavilion at the Stoney Creek Day Use Park, June 14. The 1,872 square foot shelter will be available for individuals and groups and features a great view of the Stoney Creek Valley. It is located east of the current Stoney Creek Centre. “It’s a project our club has looked at pursuing several times over the years. Carman Mason and I have been at many planning meetings since 2016, visualizing what a redeveloped park would look like. It’s wonderful to see what has already been completed and to finally be working on the footings of our Rotary Pavilion today,” said Shirley Rostad, at the site of the old campground. At a later date, the club will add a series of 20 panels honouring the human and natural history of the site. “We promoted this as a building on a solid foundation. Thanks to the City for making a solid, level spot for the building. Thanks to the City, Rotary volunteers and community groups for providing a solid foundation, and the team that visualized what this park could be,” added Shirley. Rotary members are also working on old archives to research information for the panels that will be added after the construction has been completed next month. Co-op makes donation

ects that will help bring our communities back together. This year, Co-op is providing $30,000 for the Rotary Community Pavilion to add a covered outdoor shelter, where the community can gather, learn and celebrate together. “We are so thankful to be a Co-op Community Spaces grant recipient for our Rotary Pavilion project. The grant was a huge morale and financial boost for a project long in the planning stage. We are now able to focus on the build,
and research, writing and design for the historic panels,” shared Shirley. Co-op Community Spaces has been developed to help protect, beautify and improve spaces across Western Canada. As the community begins to reopen after the COVID-19 pandemic, people are reminded of the value these projects bring in connecting and improving our communities. “We are so excited to partner with the Rotary Club of Camrose through
the Co-op Community Spaces program. The last 15 months have been very challenging time, and it’s such an honour for our Coop to contribute to creating a space for residents to safely come back together,” explained Carol Rollheiser, general manager of Wild Rose Co-op. “Investing in our community is central to our values as a Co-op. Partnering with community groups on important projects like this is a natural fit. We are creating beautiful spaces for our
community to enjoy now and for years to come.” In 2021, the program is providing $1 million to 15 communities projects across Western Canada. Since 2015, Co-op has supported 147 projects with $10.5 million in capital funding.

Augustana celebrates 110 years in the community By Lori Larsen
BETWEEN CLASSES
Submitted Students are seen relaxing between classes and taking in the good weather.
On Friday, June 25, join the University of Alberta Augustana Campus staff and faculty in recognizing the graduates of 2021 during an online Convocation Ceremonies to be held at 10 a.m. The celebrations are twofold, as the campus winds up a month of celebrating Augustana’s 110 Anniversary. “Although some may think it odd to celebrate 110 years, for Augustana the timing was perfect to take this opportunity to highlight and showcase the enormous contribution Augustana has made in our community, locally, provincially, nationally and internationally,” commented Camrose Lutheran College Corporation chair Agnes Hoveland. “This celebration came at a time of significant challenges facing Augustana and the University of Alberta. The month-
long events have been outstanding.” Beginning May 25, Augustana highlighted some historical moments throughout its 110 years of serving students from all over the globe, as well as being a major contributor to Camrose and surrounding communities. Virtual events featuring science, music and student life were shared with community members, illustrating the diversity that makes Augustana an outstanding institution and a leader in educational experience. “I have been made aware and am thankful that the advocacy done by City council, the Friends of Augustana and many other individuals has played a major role in where Augustana has landed within the University restructuring,” said Hoveland. The Convocation will feature speakers and mes-
sages typical to convocations of the past, but will also have opportunities for graduates and the broader University of Alberta community to interact online, including shared messages of congratulations, gratitude and inspiration with graduates; stories featuring graduates from the Class of 2021; access to Instagram filters / Facebook frames; and the capability of searching a listing of graduate names. R eg istration for the convocation is not required. Simply visit ualberta.ca. While the 2020-21 school year may have been unique in its delivery, the end result is the same: students proudly moving on to the next path of their journey, with a solid foundation of support under their feet as Augustana alumni.

CWSS presentation on baby wildlife
It’s time to book your
By Lori Larsen
Babies are adorable, and no matter what the species, each mother thinks her baby is the cutest. For humans, the record for the number of babies born at one time belongs to a Malian women who gave birth to nine babies. However, in nature, humans can’t hold a candle to multiple births, as male seahorses are capable of spawning up to 2,000 eggs at one time. That’s a lot of tiny horseshoes to buy. On Thursday, June 22, join the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society (CWSS) for a fun and informative virtual presentation of baby wildlife starting at 7 p.m. Presenter Katrina Teril will speak about wildlife rehabilitation and how we all can help local wildlife. For more information or to receive Zoom invitation to any of the CWSS summer virtual programs featured in the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer programs, contact the City of Camrose Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator Rhyleigh Henault at wildlifestewardship@ camrose.ca. “We had a great turnout for virtual astronomy on June 17, with Rae Metrunec, Hesje Observatory Technician and BSc Math and Physics,” said Henault. “She showed us some amazing star formations and we learned about galaxies, nebulas and star clusters. We also learned about the constellations in the sky and how we can identify them and when the best times are to see them. Overall, everyone had a great time

War Amps key tag service celebrates 75 years By Murray Green
The War Amps begins its 2021 key tag mailing to Camrose residents this week with the theme You Are a Part of What We Do, marking the 75th anniversary of the Association’s Key Tag Service. In a letter accompanying the key tags, parents Tracie and Jeremy describe how the War Amps has sup-
ported their family from the day their daughter Michaela Blakslee was born, missing part of her left arm, as well as some fingers and toes. As a member of the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Michaela receives financial assistance for artificial limbs and devices, and also attends regional seminars where Champs and their
parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and staring, and parenting an amputee child. The Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that returning war amputee veterans could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Associa-
tion’s many programs. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities, and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys to their owners. Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. If you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll free number on the back of the tag or place them in any
mailbox in Canada, and the War Amps will return them to you by courier, free of charge. The War Amps receives no government grants, and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information or to order key tags, visit waramps.ca or call toll free 1-800-250-3030.

Provincial 55-plus Games planning for future competition By Murray Green
After a year and a half of no Provincial Games for seniors, plans are now underway to resume competition again. “We will be having Winter and Summer 55-plus Games close together as we try to catch up on lost time,” said local coordinator Rose Snopek. Provincial Games for downhill and cross-country skiing will be held on Feb. 8 and 9, 2022 in Edmonton.
Winter Provincials will be held from April 7 to 10, 2022 in Edmonton. The Summer Games will be held from June 16 to 20, 2022 in Peace River. Canada 55-plus Games will take place from Aug. 23 to 26, 2022 in Kamloops, BC. The activities in Winter Games include five-pin bowling, badminton, duplicate bridge, carpet bowling, darts, euchre, floor curling, hockey, ice curling, pickleball (recreational), snooker,
Scrabble, table shuffleboard, art and creative writing. Activities in Summer Games include bocce, contract bridge, cribbage (doubles and singles), cycling, floor shuffleboard, golf, horseshoes, military whist, pickleball (competitive), eight-ball pool, slowpitch, swimming, track and field, photography and crafts. Zone playoffs will be scheduled to be held in Camrose include bowling, darts, cross-country skiing, ice curling and contract bridge.
Open activities will be held in the sports of tennis and lawn bowling, as they are not part of either Provincial Games, but will be held as an open activity in the province since they are a Canada Games sport. Tennis is being held in Red Deer and lawn bowling in Edmonton. “All summer events will be held this year, as zone playoff results must be in six weeks ahead of the Games. Winter events will also be held this fall and winter,
as results must be in six weeks ahead of the Games. Schedules will be posted around our City and on the Alberta 55-plus website,” added Rose. “The Alberta 55-plus Provincial Games have aligned their age groups to mirror that of the Canada 55-plus Games, as it became very apparent that was important to our members. Most members enter our games for the opportunity to advance to the Canada Games,” said Rose.

MLA Lovely recognizes elder abuse at Legislature By Murray Green
Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely was given the opportunity to speak about elder abuse at the Legislature. “Mr. Speaker, each year on June 15, our province recognizes World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Seniors helped build this province, and are the strength of Alberta. Unfortunately, they are not always treated with the respect they deserve. Elder abuse is a serious issue in Alberta,” explained Lovely. “Prior to 2020, we estimated nearly one in 10 Alberta seniors were subjected to some form of abuse. Since then, we have heard community or ga n i zat ion s a re reporting an increase in
the incidence, complexity, and severity of elder abuse cases in Alberta,” she continued. “World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is an important occasion for us to stand together and raise our voices against elder abuse. It is also important for us to find ways to take action. Earlier today, the minister of seniors and housing announced several new ways this government is working with Alberta communities to prevent and address elder abuse.” This includes providing $650,000 to 16 organizations in partnership with the Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council. “Alberta’s government will also be undertaking
an engagement to update how we respond to elder abuse. It will open up a dialogue with stakeholders and Albertans to better understand, recognize, and prevent it at the community level,” said Lovely. “Mr. Speaker, we know elder abuse is a complex issue. We know it will take the work of many of us, all across the province, to solve it. This is why we are working closely with community partners to examine it at a local level. I believe if we stand united, we can keep all seniors safe and free from abuse. This World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, I ask all Albertans to wear purple and stand with me against elder abuse.”

The automotive section of
Ford 1930 coupe was built from scratch By Murray Green
Alan Steinke of Bawlf owns a 1930 Ford coupe that he built, including the frame. Alan has owned the coupe for about 40 years, and he totally 100 per cent built the car from the ground up. “I started with an original all-steel body and modified it. I built the suspension, the body work and the interior. The roof was chopped by two inches and filled, the trunk was shortened, it has a custom rear roll pan, a recessed firewall and has a full metal floor. The gas cap is frenched,” explained Alan. “I fell in love with this car back when I was 18 years old, and it finally came up for sale one day. I happened to be in the right spot at the right time. It was barely drivable. The windshield and rad support are original, everything else I had to fix or replace,” shared Alan. “I built a frame to original dimensions and installed a 383 Chevy stroker engine, a turbo 350 transmission and a Ford rear end. I can pass everything except the gas stations,” he joked. “I had a Dodge 440 engine in it at one time.” Alan still makes tweaks to his car, as he enjoys driving it at every opportunity that he can. “The fenders

are finished, but the body isn’t quite finished. When I’m done, then I’ll paint it.” “The engine is cooled by a Walker big block blower unit that never overheats. The suspension (lowered),
FUN FACTS
In March 1930, Model A sales hit three million, and there were nine body styles available. The 1930 and 1931 models were available with stainless steel radiator cowlings and headlamp housings. The powertrain usually featured a 201 (3.3L) engine L-head, with a three-speed sliding-mesh manual transmission. Prices for the Model A ranged from $385 US for a roadster to $1,400 US for the top-ofthe-line town car. The engine provided 40 horsepower, and the top speed was around 65 mph (105 kmph). The Model A had four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The Model A was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch and brake pedals, throttle and gearshift. Previous Fords used controls that had become uncommon to drivers of other makes. The Model A’s fuel tank was situated in the cowl, between the engine compartment’s firewall and the dash panel. It had a visual fuel gauge and the fuel flowed to the carburetor by gravity. A rear-view mirror was optional. In cooler climates, owners could purchase an aftermarket cast iron unit to place over the exhaust manifold to provide heat to the cab. A small door provided adjustment of the amount of hot air entering the cab. The Model A was the first car to have safety glass in the windshield.
braking, wiring, steering have all been modernized. I added a custom roll bar,” said Alan. In other words, the car has been completely modified and only resembles the look of a 1930 Ford. “The hours building this car are countless, I think about a million hours. The best parts of this car are the priceless memories and the people you meet along the way. It is my everyday driver, unless it is raining,” added Alan. The car is fast, handles well, and he likes to share his memories with the people who appreciate what he has accomplished. “I like talking to car people and sharing information. I don’t go to a lot of car shows, but I like to drive it all of the time. I will go to a few this year, if they have car shows.” Besides cruising Bawlf, Camrose and Edmonton, the car has made some road trips. “I’ve taken the coupe to Del Shannon and Tommy
Row concerts, cruised with my mother and taught my children how to drive in it. “It is a great feeling to be around people who appreciate unique cars. They are poetry in motion. I’ve been
working on cars since I was about eight years old, so I like building cars. I build them all of the time, for other people from Forestburg to Sherwood Park.”

The Central Alberta District RCMP Crime Reduction Unit (CAD CRU) opened an investigation in an effort to focus on a number of subjects with outstanding matters related to property offences and criminal flight from police in the rural area near Breton. The investigation identified a subject of interest in their investigation. CAD CRU, in partnership with Camrose City Police, RCMP Air Services and the RCMP Police Dog Service, were able to locate the subject of interest in a stolen vehicle within the City of Camrose, along with two other individuals. The stolen truck that was recovered on June 10 had been missing from Ponoka. A 38-year-old male from Camrose was charged with two counts of Fail to Comply with Probation, four counts of Operate Motor Vehicle while Prohibited and Possession of Property Obtained by Crime.

Twenty-one civil society organizations will benefit from $7 million in provincial funding to support community recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. With the new Civil Society Fund, Alberta’s government is providing $20 million over three years to expand civil society’s capacity to address social problems. This year, $7 million will support vulnerable Albertans during the pandemic and help build lasting solutions to pressing social challenges, some of which have been aggravated by the pandemic. “We have received a tremendous response for Civil Society funding from organizations across the province. The successful projects will be crucial in helping to support vulnerable Albertans as they recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. This investment is critical to ensuring the needs of all Albertans are met, while sustaining core services over the long term,” said Rajan Sawhney, Alberta Minister of Community and Social Services. Civil society includes not-for-profit and voluntary organizations, registered charities, informal groups, private sector organizations and individuals pursuing social good. The Premier’s Council on Charities and Civil Society identified four main priorities to focus on in order to build capacity and move towards recovery: enhance system infrastructure to enable collaboration; advance civil society research and data to enhance cross-sector collaboration; prioritize organizational transformation for innovative delivery models and more collaborative approaches; support financial sustain-
ability and resilience with innovative fundraising, social finance and social enterprise. “The Civil Society Fund addresses the needs the Premier’s Council on Charities and Civil Society heard during our stakeholder engagement. I am pleased to see the diverse array of projects being funded and believe this will have a significant impact on the civil society sector,” added Joel Christie, chair, Premier’s Council on Charities and Civil Society. Applications for the first year of funding through the Civil Society Fund closed in January. A cross-ministry review process, led by a committee of staff from the ministries of Community and Social Services, Seniors and Housing, Service Alberta, Children’s Services and Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women, reviewed applications for initiatives that could build civil society capacity and promote further recovery of the sector. Alberta’s government is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by protecting lives and livelihoods with precise measures to bend the curve, sustain small businesses and protect Alberta’s health care system. Alberta has more than 26,000 not-for-profit organizations, employing more than 280,000 Albertans. Each year, 1.6 million Albertans provide 262 million volunteer hours. Civil Society Fund grants are one time only. Eligible applicants can request up to $1.5 million for their project. Successful applicants will have 24 months from the date of the grant agreement to complete their grant activities.

Walk-in clinics open for first-dose vaccine
Judith Pauline Brown
By Murray Green
You don’t even need an appointment to receive your first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at the Camrose walk-in clinic. Full clinic details, including locations, dates and operating hours, are available online www.alberta healthservices.ca/topics/ Page17295.aspx#walkin. All Albertans born in 2009 or earlier should be vaccinated as soon as possible. Bring your Alberta Health Care card, if you have one, along with photo ID. You will be required to wear a face mask and use hand sanitizer when visiting the site for your immunization. Do your part in helping keep our communities as safe as possible. It is vitally important to remain vigilant in the fight against COVID-19 and to follow public health guidelines at all times. This includes maintaining physical distance and masking.
Staff shortage By Murray Green
The United Nurses of Alberta declared nursing shortages at the Galahad Hospital are causing delays in surgery. However, Galahad doesn’t have a hospital, only a continuing care centre. “Alberta Health Services has never suggested to us that vacations are the problem,” said UNA president Heather Smith. Smith noted that healthcare employers have the power to cancel vacations in emergency situations, like those in Boyle, Edson, St. Paul, Elk Point, Westlock, Rocky Mountain House, Fairview and Galahad that were mentioned in the Legislature. Smith failed to point out that Galahad has no emergency services. Frontline staff shortages in Galahad were caused by not finding enough staff in rural Alberta, which is an ongoing problem at the Galahad Care Centre. The move of Galahad Care Centre residents to other area facilities in early June was made because of staff shortages. Galahad Care Centre has consistently been one of the best continuing care facilities in the province, according to public reports.
VEHICLE ACCESS
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Parents Candra and Riley Sexton accept $500 from Camrose Elks Lodge exalted ruler Gerry Czapp and $2,000 from the Alberta Elks Foundation to assist with the cost of home and vehicle accessibility modifications for Grade 3 student Chloe.
Sexton family receives funds to assist with modifications By Murray Green
Grade 3 student Chloe Sexton received some funds from the Camrose Elks Lodge and Royal Purple to assist with home and vehicle accessibility modifications. “Chloe is a bright eightyear-old, who also has dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Chloe requires a manual and power wheelchair for mobility, a computer communication device and a low tech alternative PODD book to communicate. She requires full support to be independent,” said mom Candra. The Chester Ronning School student requires a full-time educational assis-
tant to help her learn in the classroom. “Ever since Chloe came home through adoption, we have carried her from our home to our vehicle multiple times a day, which includes stairs. We then carry her wheelchair to load it in the van for wherever we go,” explained Riley. Her power chair can only be used at school because the Sexton’s home and vehicle was not equipped to handle the power chair. It weighs 200 pounds and can’t easily be lifted. “We are also concerned about Chloe’s safety and the safety of caregivers when carrying her up and down the stairs. Our worst
fear would be to drop her or hurt her/ourselves in the process,” added Candra. As she grows, it will be harder to keep up with the situation with unless modifications are made to their home and vehicle. To make all of the necessary changes to the home and vehicle, it is estimated to cost $11,400 for the vehicle lift and wheelchair system, $6,300 for a porch lift, and $6,500 for deck and home modifications to support the lift and chair, for a total of $23,900. Together, the Camrose Elks Lodge, Alberta Elks Foundation and the Royal Purple donated $3,000 to assist the family with those costs.

Tasha Ellen Stremel September 24, 1980 ~ June 5, 2021 Tasha Ellen Stremel passed away on June 5, 2021, at the age of 40. Tasha was born on September 24, 1980, in Camrose, Alberta, to Daryl and Lois Blume. She attended all of her schooling in Camrose and graduated high school in 1998. During and after high school, Tasha worked various jobs, such as waitress, hotel desk clerk, store clerk, bank teller, and after graduating an administrative assistant course, obtained a job at Battle River Power Coop. She loved her receptionist position and enjoyed interacting with the public and fellow staff members. Tasha married Paul Stremel in December 2006. They had two children, Olivia in 2004 and Michael in 2007. The kids were the lights of Tasha’s life. Tasha enjoyed many friends, who appreciated her positive and cheerful nature. Tasha was very determined, and when she decided to accomplish something, there was no roadblock she could not overcome. Sadly, in November 2020, Tasha was diagnosed with cancer. She fought valiantly until she passed away in St. Mary’s Hospital on June 5, 2021. Left to cherish Tasha’s memory are her husband Paul; beloved children Olivia and Michael; mother Lois Blume; sister Jody Blume (Chris Ball); stepfather Ed Carbonneau; one niece; two nephews; two great-nieces; three great-nephews; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Thank you to Burgar Funeral Home for their assistance with memorial arrangements. Tasha will be deeply missed by all of her friends and family. We will lovingly hold her in our hearts forever. – Lois Blume and family

Q.
Are all Battle River Community Foundation funds the same?
A.
No! The Foundation offers seven different kinds of funds, one of which can certainly be tailored to suit your personal philanthropic needs. The most general type is a “Community Fund” which allows the BRCF Grants Committee of the day to choose projects that address emerging needs throughout the area served.

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.

My wife: “Have you met our new neighbour?” Me: “He doesn’t even have a single grass stain on his white lawn-mowing shoes. You can’t trust a person like that!” What do we learn from cattle, buffalo and elephants? It’s impossible to lose weight by eating green grass, salads and walking. Eyelashes are supposed to prevent things from going into your eyes, but whenever I have something in my eye, it’s always an eyelash. Eyeronic. No one is more determined than a woman rearranging furniture by herself. You know when you tap a YouTube video to see how much longer it is? I wish you could do that to certain people when they’re talking.

Immaculate top floor condo
Did you know the guy who named the umbrella meant to call it brella, but he hesitated. Me: [says something hilarious] My kids: [eye roll] My husband: [burps] My kids: [hysterical laughter] “Daddy’s so much funnier than you are, Mom!” Camrose City Police sent me a picture of me speeding. I sent them a picture of a cheque. Then they sent me a picture of handcuffs. Well played. A neighbour suggested putting sheep manure on my strawberries. I’m not doing that again. I’m going back to whipped cream. The dock at Mirror Lake is made of hickory wood. If it’s been raining, caution is advised, because it becomes a slippery hickory dock. My girlfriend borrowed $100 from me. After three years, when we broke up, she returned exactly $100. I lost interest in that relationship, and now I’m just left a loan. I deserve credit for this. Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be called bagels. Can’t believe how much time my parents spent teaching me what sounds barnyard animals make. I have almost never needed that as an adult. I’m done being a people pleaser. As long as everyone’s okay with that.

The views from this top floor condo located in the Grand Trunk Landing complex are spectacular. Imagine sitting out and enjoying the incredible sights of Mirror Lake and adjacent green spaces. This unit has been kept in immaculate condition and has several upgrades, including laminate and vinyl flooring. No carpet throughout equates to easy maintenance. Immediate possession means it is ready for you to move in and get busy enjoying the summer. The open concept kitchen/dining and living area, featuring grand vaulted ceilings, means everything is at your fingertips. Sit in your recliner looking out the large west-facing windows and enjoy views of Mirror Lake from the comfort of your home in every season. Or be on the walking paths in a matter of minutes. Your gas fireplace will enhance the view on those chilly nights as you gaze outdoors. Step out onto your maintenance-free covered deck for fresh air and the sounds of nature while barbe-
cuing your favourite savoury delight on your gas barbecue. Sit up to the raised eating option separating the kitchen and living area and enjoy catching up on the news. The master suite has two-door access from both the hall to the insuite laundry or the living room, a huge walk-in closet and four-piece en suite for privacy and convenience. A quint office or hobby room and a three-piece bathroom complete the living area. Never worry about brushing snow off your vehicle as you park in your own underground parking space, complete with a locked storage area for seasonal goods. Just turn the key, move in your things and call the unit your own. Enjoy home ownership with maintenancefree living at 5419-49 Avenue #405 for $314,500.

I like telling dad jokes, but I don’t have any kids. I guess that makes me a Faux Pa. The benefits of a good vocabulary: I recently called an old engineering buddy of mine and asked what he was doing these days. He replied that he was working on “Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment.” I was impressed until, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife’s supervision. It’s not my fault I have a double chin. When God was passing out chins, I thought He said gins, so I asked for a double. This week in Camrose retirement facilities, contestants will be playing the game called, “Guess What the Tattoo Used To Be”. MIDDLE AGE IN A NUTSHELL “Wait … what did I come in here for?” “I could’ve sworn that was my password!” “Sorry, I forgot what I was going to say.” “Why is the print on these instructions so tiny!??” “Who cares if it looks good? I’m comfortable!” “Has anyone seen my phone?” “Stupid scale! That cannot be right!” “Huh, I wonder how I got this bruise?” “Shoot, did I already take my vitamin?” “$5 for a box of cereal? They raised the price and shrunk the box! What a rip off!” • “Software update again? I don’t like updates.” • “Who in the world is calling me at 9:30 p.m.?”
