Mobile mammography

By Lori Larsen

One of the best lines of defence against breast cancer is early detection. For that reason, women, especially those aged 50 to 74, are encouraged to go and have a mammogram.

On July 9, 10, 12 through the 17, and 19 through the 24, the Alberta Health Services Mobile Mammography will be visiting Wetaskiwin, stationed at Wetaskiwin Community Health Centre, 5610-40 Avenue.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and has proven to be the most effective way to detect breast cancer. Early detection allows for a greater number of options for treatment and a better chance of survival.

Residents can book an appointment or learn more about the program by calling toll free 1-800-667-0604.

Due to COVID-19, AHS screen testing services are taking precautions to ensure the health and safety of both clients and employees.

Details will be shared when you call to book your appointment.

Central Agencies Home of the Week Enjoy the cottage life

Matt Banack

If you want to escape the heat at your own cottage by the lake, this property is perfect. Situated on just under an acre of land at Little Beaver Lake Estates, it offers the peace and quiet of country living with close proximity to Camrose.

The great outdoors is literally right out your back door, and there is plenty of room for badminton nets, horseshoe pits and other fun family activities. Views of the lake can be enjoyed on your own piece of paradise.

The home itself has all the amenities you will need. The well-appointed kitchen has plenty of counter space for preparing meals, and flows nicely into the open living and dining area with spectacular views of the lake. Imagine the smell of a fire in the wood-burning stove that will take the chill out of fall evenings. It’s the perfect addition to year-round cottage life.

Two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom add all the comforts of home.

But it is all about the property and the space you will have to spread out and enjoy the anonymity of your own private getaway.

A patio area off the home makes entertaining outdoors easy, and several garden sheds offer tons of storage. A screened-in outbuilding means enjoying meals outdoors without having to swat at bugs, or it could act as a great children’s playhouse.

Walk the length of your property and in seconds, you are on the water’s edge, sitting and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature.

All furnishings and building contents are included in the sale of the property. It is as easy as moving right in.

This property, located at 44101 Range Road 214 #301, can be an affordable home away from home, and is priced at $225,000. For a personal viewing, contact Matt Banack at:

Took the family to the beach. We spent three hours packing, two hours trying to get out the door, one hour on the road, one hour parking and walking, 30 minutes at the beach, and three weeks cleaning the sand out of the car. My husband wants a divorce. Actually, his exact works were, “I think it would be cool for the whole family to live in an RV and travel the country for a year,” but tomato, to-mah-to… Check on your curly-haired friends during summer. They are not okay. Hey, guy with the fancy hydration pack, telescopic hiking poles and North Face vest! My fi ve-year-old walked the same trail in fl ipflops carrying a naked Barbie. Relax! Grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change direction when I see them coming, and the wisdom to try not to smack some sense into them when I can’t avoid them. What do you call a magic dog? Labrakadabrador. I used to just crastinate. Then I went pro! Before you marry someone, fi nd out if their family drinks mimosas or runs 5K on holiday mornings. I was walking in the jungle and saw a lizard on his hind legs telling jokes. I turned to a local tribesman and said, “That lizard is really funny!” The tribesman said, “That’s not a lizard. He’s a stand-up chameleon.” I wonder what happens when a doctor’s wife eats an apple a day. A 70-year-old man asked his wife, “Do you feel sad when you see me running after young girls?” His wife replied, “No, not at all. Even dogs chase cars they can’t drive!” My wife and I decided we don’t want to have children. We will be telling them tonight after dinner. Life Hack: If someone offers you some Doritos, sneeze into the bag and they’ll just let you have them all. I don’t want to be a millionaire. I just want to be comfortable enough to stare off into the distance as I pump my gas. What’s the difference between an in-law and an outlaw? The outlaw is actually wanted. I had the slowest, rudest, nastiest cashier today. I knew I shouldn’t have used the self checkout lane! Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. Don’t say you weren’t warned. It’s a great day! The bulb fi nally burned out on my check engine light. Not a single person asked me if I could run fast in my new shoes today. Being an adult is stupid. What do clouds wear under their shorts? Thunderpants My wife just said, “You weren’t even listening, were you?” I thought to myself, “That’s a pretty strange way to start off a conversation.” Operator: “9-1-1, what’s your emergency?” Man: “A guy just got hit by a car, I need an ambulance.” Operator: “What’s your location?” Man: “I’m on Eucalyptus Street.” Operator: “Can you spell that for me?” Man: [long awkward pause] Operator: “Sir? Are you still there?” Man: “I’m gonna drag him over to Pine Street and call you right back.” Being a man is not easy. No makeup, no wig, no lashes. If you’re ugly, you’re just ugly. I ate four cans of alphabet soup and just had the largest vowel movement ever. Wife: “I lost my key again!” Husband: “It’s in your jeans.” Wife: “Don’t drag my family into this!” If Fed Ex and UPS ever merged, would they be Fed Up?
