s we welcome August, with its show of glorious colour in flowerbeds around the City, we also realize it is the beginning of the end of summer. Now is the time to slow down your pace and sit a bit longer on the patio or deck, catch a nap on a hammock, stroll your neighbourhood and take in the pay off of gardeners’ hard work. Autumn will be here before we know it, with its own pageant of beauty, but for now, don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers.

Preparations for upcoming elections By Lori Larsen

In preparing for the upcoming Oct. 18 Municipal Election, the City of Camrose administration presented information to Council regarding the voting opportunities including advance votes, special ballots, institutional voting stations, and incapacitated electors at home, as well as the location of the voting stations on Election Day. In an effort to help accommodate physical distancing and avoid larger numbers on Oct. 18, thus possibly reducing the spread of COVID-19, the City will be providing Advance Voting Dates as follows: Oct. 8 (10 a.m. until 5 p.m.); Oct. 13 (1 until 7 p.m.); Oct. 14 (10 a.m. until 5 p.m.); Oct. 15 (1 until 7 p.m.); and Oct. 16 (10 a.m. until 5 p.m.). The Advance Voting station will be relocated from Council Chambers at City Hall to the former Augustana Gym at the Recreation Centre to provide more layout room to once again reduce any elector concerns with COVID-19. Any resident may vote at an Advance Voting opportunity. The City will also be providing Special Mail-in Voting for eligible voters, who are unable to make it

to an Advance Vote or Election Day (Oct. 18) due to: • physical incapacitation • absence from the local jurisdiction (City of Camrose) • being an election worker, candidate, official agent or scrutineer, who may be located on Election Day at a voting station other than that for the voter’s place of residence. Requests for Special Mail-in Ballot Applications will begin on Aug. 16 and will be accepted up to Oct. 8. The packages will be available for pickup or mail by Tuesday, Sept. 28, with a return date of no later than 4 p.m. on Oct. 15. Councillor Max Lindstrand inquired with City of Camrose deputy manager (City returning officer) Kim Isaak if there are any alternate methods for people absent from Camrose to email or text in their votes, citing that regular mail service may not be quick enough. Isaak said the Local Authorities Election Act does not contain any provision to allow for this manner of voting. Norsemen Inn and Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) were added to the list of voting stations this year to better accommodate physical distancing and COVID-19 requirements as they have

larger voting areas. Previous voting stations located at Sparling School, United Church and Century Meadows Baptist Church were eliminated in an effort to keep electors safer. Voting stations will be open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Oct. 18 at voting locations including: • Mirror Lake Centre • Community Centre Field House • Norsemen Inn • CRE As with previous years, voting stations will be set up at designated times on Oct. 18 at the following institutions: • Deer Meadows • Brookside • Faith House • Viewpoint • Rosealta • Rosehaven • Louise Jensen • Bethany Meadows • Seasons Any incapacitated (at home) elector who is unable to attend any of the Advance Votes, Election Day or unable to complete a Special Ballot may contact returning officer Kim Isaak at 780-678-3027 or at kisaak@camrose.ca to request a vote from home. For complete information on the Oct. 18 City of Camrose Municipal Election, visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca/en/yourgovernment/election.aspx.

The Zen of Raspberries

There are certain conditions under which–no matter how hot the day–it is appropriate to wear clothing that completely covers you from the bottom of your feet to your chin, if not higher. One of those conditions is when you’re in a wildly out-of-control raspberry patch, with raspberry canes two-and-a-half metres high. That is why, on a day with the temperature in the mid-30s, I’m wearing rubber boots with long pants tucked inside them, a long-sleeved shirt buttoned up to my chin and a wide-brimmed hat. Better to be sweaty than scratched and gouged by out-of-control raspberry canes. ***

The raspberry patch is definitely a “patch”. It is not neat rows of raspberry canes, with spaces to walk between. It’s an unruly tangled mass, canes pointing every which way. Besides the raspberry canes, threefoot-high thistles have insinuated their way into the patch. Kindred spirits, maybe. Yep, definitely cover-up clothing territory. And worth it, worth it! ***

With my little plastic pail, I start picking around the edges of the raspberry patch. Every cane has ripened raspberries, along with those just starting to form. Some are overripe. Many are not yet ripe. I’m discerning. Only those raspberries that are the right shade of red go into my pail. Seems to take forever to cover the bottom of the pail with raspberries. My flitting brain wonders how long it will take to fill the pail–if that’s even possible. But then, at some point, my brain stops flitting. I’m just totally focussed on looking for the perfect-shade-of-red raspberries. I wade further into the patch. Not easy when the canes are so tangled. Doesn’t matter. I’m on a mission. Nothing exists except looking for the perfect-shade-ofred raspberries, and putting them in the pail. Seems like I drop almost as many as I put into the pail. I wonder idly if the raspberry patch will get even thicker and more tangled, what with all those raspberry seeds dropping to the ground. Time disappears. I notice that not only is the bottom of the pail covered, but the pail is more than half full. Encouraging. My fellow raspberry picker comes over to where I’m picking. She’s filled her gallon pail and in just a few minutes, both of us finish filling mine. We stash the two pails of raspberries in the truck, along with tomatoes, onions and a few zucchinis from elsewhere in the garden. I reflect that, unlike the season’s over-abundant zucchini, people actually welcome the gift of raspberries. Back home, we spread out our fresh garden produce. A totally satisfactory morning.

I have been a taxi driver for 27 years. I do remember the long hours and the abysmal pay which most taxi drivers all receive. Most taxi companies are short drivers which brings to my mind this one question. What about driverless taxis? China is planning on putting one thousand driverless taxis on the road. There will be one signif icant change in how people interact with their taxi drivers. What happens if your address is not on the GPS? What happens if you were a customer who did not bring any money? What happens if you try to run instead of paying for your taxi fare? Well, you might have to prepay your ride, so this might not be too much of a problem. Would the driverless taxi take cash, or will it all be collected from your credit card? This could solve the problem of a lack of drivers and stop people from ripping off this poor underpaid taxi driver. This is just something for all of you to ponder as you all try to survive the extreme heat. Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

Sunshine list

Education, the 14th on Sievers Jan. 14 top expense-claimers, claimed $74,188.62 (a relatively low claim). But Alberta Education also has 148 on Alberta’s Sunshine List, costing Alberta taxpayers roughly $16 million. But those salaries of over $109,000 often come with additional non-cash and cash benefits. For example, deputy Clarke’s $286,900 salary comes with $8,000 cash and $ 63,600 non-cash benefits (plus his roughly $ 9,000 in expense claims), leaving Alberta taxpayers with a tab of just under $400,000 for this one deputy minister. (See “Alberta paid out $ 2.3 million in expenses…”, Sievers, Jan. 14). And, that’s just under $12 million/year for Alberta’s current 28 deputy/assistant deputy ministers. That makes it totally unjustifiable to cut to education or nurses’ salaries, which would only save this government a couple of million dollars. Marion Leithead, Bawlf Forest fires

I lived in 100 Mile House, BC from 1980 to 2000 and never experienced any wild fires.

We were always worried about a cigarette off Highway 97, because we were always dry in the summer. Now, in five years, they have had two major fires–that’s what happens when you have no logging–forestry. You have to manage the forests so you don’t have runaway fires; you have to cut lines to stop it. All you hear about is climate change. It has gone from global warming that didn’t say enough. Climate change still doesn’t say enough. Now, this year, it is climate crisis. That is all they have to say. Say it louder. Say it all the time. Where are the forestry companies, why don’t they speak up? Do the right management and at least people and animals have a chance. Also, why is our military not trained and deployed at the first sign of fires, not a month into the season? Sheila Faulkner, Donalda,

***

Household hint. Problem: If you just chuck fresh raspberries into a freezer bag and freeze them, when you later retrieve them, you end up with a bag of raspberry mush. Solution: Spread the fresh raspberries over a cookie sheet so none of them are on top of each other. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer. When the raspberries have frozen solid, then you can put them in a freezer bag. When you later retrieve them, they will still be raspberries. ***

Fresh raspberries on cereal. Raspberries and cream. Raspberries on ice cream. Raspberry tarts with whipped cream on top. Doesn’t get any better. I know there are problems in the world. COVID. Wild fires. Political turmoil. Illness and death. Wars. Pollution. Drought. Economy barely flickering. Massive public debt. A morning in the raspberry patch makes it all go away, at least for a while. And somehow, a morning in the raspberry patch makes whatever needs to happen next seem possible and doable. Everything is going to be okay. ***

During the City of Camrose regular council meeting held on Aug. 3, council recommended no updates to the City’s Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) at this time. The City’s Water Shortage Response Plan was adopted by council during a regular council meeting held Feb. 21, 2017. “The WSRP is a key planning tool for preparing the City and local and regional water customers for future water shortages due to drought or other unforeseen emergencies,” explained City of Camrose Engineering Services manager Jeremy Enarson, in his report to council. The Plan includes four general stages of water conservation. “The City is typically in Stage 1 of the plan at most times throughout the year, except during times of pending or current water shortages,” reported Enarson. Stage 1 (Watch Stage) involves no mandatory restrictions. However, the City does encourage water users throughout the City to voluntarily conserve water, using some of the measures outlined in the other stages. There are no enforcement activities associated with this stage of the Plan. Stage 2 (Warning Stage) is the first stage where mandatory restrictions would be implemented. Restrictions to outdoor water use would include: • Watering of lawns only the early morning (between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.) or late evening (7 to 11 p.m.) hours of the day. Certain exceptions exist for the watering of flowerbeds, vegetable gardens or newly-laid sod–this can still be done as long as a hose with a trigger shut-off nozzle is used. Watering using stored rainwater from a rain barrel or other stor-

age device is also permitted. • Private washing of vehicles can only be done with a bucket and handheld hose. There are no restrictions on washing vehicles at a commercial car wash at this stage. Restrictions during Stage 2 would also apply to the City (i.e. watering of lawns and sports fields, etc.), with no notable addi-

as suspending the annual Uni-Directional Watermain Flushing (UDF) program, provided that this would not create a public health or safety concern. During Stage 4 (Emergency Measures Stage), restrictions would include: the prohibition of all nonessential outdoor water use, with restrictions imposed on non-essential indoor water use.

than imposing mandatory restrictions on residents, and essentially the City had no need to impose the restrictions within a couple of days.” Boyd said, “In the past, our focus has been on longterm lake level, thinking about drought as a longerterm crisis. The recent heat wave we experienced highlighted the fact that we were up against a pro-

tional restrictions imposed on municipal operations. During Stage 3 (Critical Stage), additional restrictions to outdoor water use would include: • Watering of lawns is prohibited, regardless of the time of day. • Outdoor washing of cars is prohibited. • Washing of impervious surfaces is prohibited (i.e. sidewalks, driveways, exteriors of buildings, etc.) • Recreational use of sprinklers/water toys/ filling of swimming pools is prohibited. This would also require the closure of the Camrose Spray Park, and all restrictions would apply equally to municipal operations. Additional water restrictions imposed on municipal operations, such

Councillor Max Lindstrand inquired as to the current status of water. “At this time, there are no concerns in terms of the long-term water shortage,” replied Enarson. “We monitor the situation at least twice a week and provide that update to Malcolm (Boyd City manager) for his review.” Enarson pointed out that there was a time around July 1 where the City was concerned about short-term water shortages because the water treatment plant was nearing its capacity. “At that time, we considered options of imposing mandatory restrictions. Ultimately, because the forecast was changing, it was looking promising. After that, we decided to impose the inhouse restrictions rather

duction volume concern at the plant. “It wasn’t the fact that we were running out of water in Driedmeat Lake, it was the fact that we couldn’t make water fast enough relative to how much we would consume.” He further indicated that short-term water shortage, due to reaching and extending the capacity of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP), is an additional trigger for the City to be aware of and ultimately be prepared to impose water restrictions to avoid a water crisis. Enarson explained, “The existing Water Shortage Response Plan does technically have a mechanism for us to pull the trigger, whether it is a long-term or short-term concern.

Councillor PJ Stasko inquired as to whether or not the water treatment plant operations itself was changed during the high production to avoid a shortterm water shortage. Boyd said there are no extra staff available to use during an increase to the WTP production. Enarson explained, “The Plant is fully staffed during the daytime hours, and then there is an on-call rotation for handling the evenings and weekends. “Essentially, the operator can go in and take a look at the reservoir levels to see if we are able to recover at the end of the day or in the middle of the night. If we see a downward trend, they have the ability of essentially ramping up the water treatment plant to push it towards its limits and ultimately to get where they can maintain reservoir levels.” Boyd added, “The situation was compromised by the fact that this was being driven by extreme hot weather and the extreme hot weather also had an effect on the equipment. Motors were running hot because the building was hot, and that was putting the equipment at risk as well. We certainly were running very close to the edge of our capability, and that was driven by consumption and environmental conditions.” Enarson said, “We had some risk during that heat wave, but in terms of the operation of the WTP, the on-call operator probably slept a lot less and was at the plant just monitoring things a lot closer. But there was no switching around of staff, we ran with the daytime and oncall staff.” While the City continues to monitor water levels, they do encourage all residents and business owners to conserve water wherever possible.

By Murray Green

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made five nominations to the Governor General to fill vacant seats in the Senate of Canada, on July 29. Of these nominations, one vacancy filled was for a seat to represent Alberta. This is despite the fact that Albertans have chosen to elect senators. Battle River-Crowfoot MP Damien Kurek sent a letter to the Prime Minister to demand that Albertans’ democratic choice be respected. “This is a clear and flagrant disregard of will of Albertans,” he stated. The Prime Minister has received requests from the Leader of Canada’s Conservatives, the provincial government and many other prominent Albertans, asking him to wait until after the Senate election in October, when Albertans will elect three new Senators in Waiting. “These criticisms are not a personal attack against Ms. Karen Sorensen (newly appointed Senator), nor an attempt to undermine her experience or qualifications, but rather a criticism against how the Prime Minister chose to circumvent Alberta’s wishes,” Kurek added. The disappointment of this selection is compounded by the fact that Alberta is under-represented by population in the Senate already, he pointed out. “It is clear. The Prime Minister either doesn’t care that he is tearing the country apart, or it is part of his political agenda to maintain power at any cost. Either way, Albertans and all Canadians deserve better,” said Kurek.

Tindall joins the Prime Minister’s Youth Council By Murray Green

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Bardish Chagger, minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth, welcomed 10 new members to the Prime Minister’s Youth Council. From wide-ranging backgrounds and unique lived experiences, these young Canadians are eager to share their voices and work towards a consciously more inclusive Canada. Camrose student Nalyn Tindall was one of the new members chosen to represent Alberta. Council members provide non-partisan advice to the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada on issues of importance from climate change to reconciliation. The council is a unique platform for youth to share their perspectives with the government and provide recommendations to help build a better and more sustainable future. In these unprecedented times, the Youth Council’s contributions have been critical to improving communications and understanding the needs of youth across Canada. The government strongly values youth perspectives and will continue to work with the council members on important issues that matter to them including: COVID-19, the environment, an inclusive economic recovery, health, diversity, reconciliation and youth employment across the country. Young Canadians are not just the leaders of tomor-

row, they are the leaders of today. They have innovative ideas and unique perspectives on how the government should address opportunities and challenges to build a stronger and more inclusive Canada. “I am pleased to welcome the newest council members and look forward to working with them and hearing their perspectives on issues that have an impact on all Canadians. The Youth Council’s input and ideas are invaluable to our government,” said the Prime Minister. “I believe that listening and learning from our young leaders is the only way we will build a better future for all Canadians. Since 2016, the Prime Minister’s Youth Council has been instrumental in providing advice and I am pleased to welcome the newest council members. Their intersectional identities and unique perspectives will be key to building a consciously more inclusive Canada,” added Chagger. Former members will now begin their work as Youth Council alumni, which is a network of former council members who continue to engage in their communities and make significant impacts in the lives of others. Youth Council members come from diverse communities across all regions of Canada and possess a wide range of knowledge and experience. Chagger serves as vice chair of the Youth Council.

Film credit attracts productions By Murray Green

As a key part of Alberta’s Recovery Plan, the Film and Television Tax Credit is attracting major productions to the province, diversifying the economy and creating thousands of new jobs. Since the program’s launch in January 2020, it has attracted 50 productions to Alberta with total production costs of $955 million, creating 9,000 new direct and indirect jobs in the province. In March, Alberta’s government removed the $10 million-per-project cap from the Film and Television Tax Credit to make the province an even more desirable location for larger productions. Cameras are rolling on film and television productions across Alberta, injecting hundreds of millions of dollars in investment into the economy as these productions hire local crews, actors and extras and use local businesses. The Film and Television Tax Credit, combined with Alberta’s competitive tax environment, afford-

able labour costs and breathtaking scenery, has made the province a prime choice for medium and bigbudget television and film projects, which are having a positive impact on Alberta’s economy. HBO is currently filming its new television series The Last of Us in Alberta. The project is the single largest television series production in Canadian history and is expected to create thousands of jobs. “The boom in our film industry is the perfect example of Alberta’s Recovery Plan in action. Thanks to the Film and Television Tax Credit and our recent improvements to it, we are witnessing a new billion-dollar industry take shape right before our eyes, further diversifying the economy and creating new jobs,” said Premier Jason Kenney. “Alberta is the new Hollywood. With our stunning landscapes, our immense talent and our world-class studios, our province is being showcased on the big screen in a way that it never has before, with thou-

sands of jobs being created in everything from carpentry to catering,” added Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation. “Film productions like The Last of Us and Ghostbusters mean thousands of new jobs for rural Albertans both on and off set. With landscapes from the Rocky Mountains to the Prairies, Alberta is becoming a global hub for film. New multimillion-dollar investments in the film

industry are getting people back to work and driving Alberta’s economic recovery. I look forward to seeing even more of Alberta on the big screen,” shared Nate Horner, associate minister of Rural Economic Development. Alberta’s Film and Television Tax Credit, launched in January 2020, offers a refundable Alberta tax credit certificate on eligible Alberta production and labour costs to corporations that produce films, television series and other eligible screen-based productions in the province.

Martins back in Camrose By Lori Larsen

Despite border restrictions due to COVID, purple martins still managed their annual flight to their nesting grounds in Camrose, where they were constantly monitored and cared for by dedicated Camrose martin landlords and the City of Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator Rhyleigh Henault. “In 2003, the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society named purple martins (Progne subis) as their flagship species,” explained Henault. “Part of the swallow family, these birds are aerial insectivores that are undergoing a sharp decline in population.” Henault further explained that purple martins also nest exclusively in human-provided housing. “The tending of their nests can have a huge impact on their success, as well as give people a chance to closely interact with these charismatic birds and increase interest in them around the City.” As loyal stewards of the purple martin, CWSS has installed 26 houses on public greenspace, that, along with many put up by private citizens (landlords for purple martins) have been pivotal in not only maintaining but increasing martin populations. “A purple martin landlord program was initiated where nearby residents were given training and the responsibility of taking care of the purple martin house along with help from the Greenspace and Wildlife Stewardship coordinator.

“There are many different influences on the purple martin populations from year to year, but collecting this data is useful for future references of how the program has benefited the martins in Camrose. “In 2003, we started with eight pairs of purple martins (16 martins in total). Over the years, the population has increased and decreased due to many different uncontrollable factors. The highest number of purple martin pairs was in 2009, with 173 pairs (346 total). In 2021, we had 124 pairs, for a total of 248 purple martins in the City of Camrose. This is up from 2020’s result of 80 pairs.” As part of the initiative to ensure the well-being of the species, CWSS, in partnership with other stakeholders in Camrose, have held the annual Purple Martin Festival, a popular event enjoyed by many Camrosians and guests to Camrose. The event included a day of presentations, observations and education on the beautiful iridescent birds, as well as some special activities for children (of all ages). Unfortunately, due to COVID, the 2020 and 2021 annual Purple Martin Festivals had to be postponed. “We are looking forward to bringing back our annual Purple Martin Festival in June 2022,” noted Henault. “This festival gives wildlife enthusiasts an opportunity to learn about purple martins

Unidirectional Flushing

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. 2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. 3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water colour. 4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. This year’s UDF program begins August 5, 2021, starting with Zone A (in Area 1) and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discolouration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If a discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Charles Klak at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428.

Decoration Day marks all those who served By Murray Green

Decoration Day is a yearly Canadian event that recognizes veterans of Canada’s military. It was actually the first Remembrance Day. In Camrose, graves of those who served in the Armed Forces are marked on Sunday, Aug. 15. “We will be having a short service and wreath laying at the main cenotaph by the Camrose and District Centennial Museum at 1 p.m. Then we will be going to the cemetery for a couple of short prayers,” said Adrian Zinck, president of the Camrose branch. “This year, we are inviting everyone back to the Legion for refreshments. Everyone is welcome to attend both events.” Camrose Valleyview Cemetery, located at 4205-52 Street, is owned and operated by the City of Camrose. The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be marking graves and holding a brief ceremony. Decoration Day is held annually on the third Sunday of August. This is a special day to pay tribute to those in the local cemetery. The community services department staff will be available on this day to answer questions, or give assistance finding grave locations. “We had a committee of volunteers working hard on refreshing our database, so hopefully we won’t miss any graves,” said Zinck. “If anyone knows of a veteran who has recently passed, or knows if we have missed someone, call the Legion at 780-672-3325 so the name can be added to the list.” Vehicle traffic is restricted to roadways only. The speed limit is 20 km per hour. Flowers and similar decorations must be placed in an approved container. Grave decorations must not include lawn ornaments or any glass or china items. Flowers and potted plants shall not be placed on the turf area of graves between May 1 and October 1, except for a period following Decoration Day or an interment. No pets or animals are permitted in the Cemetery. Decoration Day began on June 2, 1890. Originally, the celebration served as a form of protest for veterans of the Battle of Ridgeway, who felt that their contributions to the protection of Canada during the Fenian Raids were being overlooked by the government. The veterans placed

On Sunday, August 15, 2021 (the third Sunday every August), the City of Camrose invites friends, family, and relatives to recognize loved ones at the Valleyview Cemetery. Every year the cemetery becomes a field of colour, which we welcome again this year. Come out and enjoy the day! Just a reminder: Once Decoration Day is over, we ask all family members who have placed decorations that do not conform to our bylaw, to remove them within a week after Decoration Day. After that, Cemetery staff will be picking up all decorations that do not conform to our Cemetery Bylaw, so regular maintenance can continue. All non-conforming and left over decorations will be recycled. For further information, please feel free to contact the Community Services Office at 780-672-9195.

decorations at the Canadian Volunteer Monument near Queen’s Park in Toronto on the anniversary of the battle. There were 30,000 participants in 1891, the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Ridgeway, and up to 50,000 watched the accompanying parade. This became an annual event, taking place on the weekend nearest the original date and accumulating more participants as further conflicts resulted in a larger body of Canadian veterans. Participants included veterans of the Fenian Raids, the North-West Rebellion, the Second Boer War and the First World War. In 1931, the Armistice Remembrance Day Act established Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) as the official day commemorating military service in Canada. However, recognition of Decoration Day is still held to honour all lost veterans.

Council reaffirms position on sea-cans By Lori Larsen

During the regular City of Camrose council meeting held on July 19, council reaffirmed its position on the use of seacans, noting that they can be used for storage only, subject to other requirements listed in the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) including visual appearance. Camrosian Todd Spady filed an application with the City to amend the Land Use Bylaw, redistrict the subject property and amend the Downtown Redevelopment Plan in order to accommodate the proposed building of a multi-level sea-can residential structure on a property located in Downtown Camrose. During a May 17 council meeting, administration presented reports to council recommending refusal due to the extensive noncompliance with the Land Use Bylaw and Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan. Alternatively, Council passed a motion referring the matter to the Municipal Planning Advisory Committee (MPAC). On June 2, MPAC considered the applications and passed a motion to provide council with information discussed at the MPAC meeting prior to consideration of first reading. Both administration and MPAC agreed that further discussion on design requirements, lists of uses and allowances for development that is non-compliant with the Land Use Bylaw should occur prior to consideration of these amendment applications. Administration recommended further deliberation of multi-storey sea-can residential dwellings to the next update of the Land Use Bylaw and to refund the applicant the fees for amending the Land Use Bylaw, redistrict the property and amending the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan. During the July 19 Committee of Whole meeting, Spady, who was present in Chambers, indicated that the main reason he wanted to build a multilevel sea-can structure was to provide a place to store some of his personal belongings, as he would be moving out of the country, and also to provide his daughter with the legacy of a forever home. “The big thing is I am out of storage, I sold my house and everything is in storage.” Spady assured council that the sea-can(s) would be aesthetically pleasing. City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd asked City Planning and Development manager Aaron Leckie for clarification

with regards to what is allowed in downtown for storage purposes. “Is it correct that the Land Use Bylaw and Downtown Area Restructure Plan do not allow sea-cans in the downtown area for storage?” Leckie said that is cor-

ers are stacked too high, it becomes a structure that is twice as high as it is wide, creating possible massing concerns identified in the DARP. “You would want to have buildings that are square or rectangular where the proportions are relatively equal between

L eck ie f u r ther explained that one seacan, cladded would be treated like an accessory structure, and if it met the requirements of LUB and building code, it would be approved. Spady brought up a concern that there are currently other businesses in Camrose that have stacked sea-cans, to which councillor Throndson replied, “City administration will be sending letters to these businesses indicating they are not complying with LUB/DARP.” Spady reiterated his primary concern is to make sure his personal belongings are kept safe, and that he would prefer to stack two sea-cans to provide enough storage and to ensure adequate parking for the person conducting business on that property. Leckie explained that two sea-cans could be side by side on the property or stacked two high and significantly altered to meet the design requirements of the LUB. “We would not consider it a sea-can if there were no elements of the sea-can that were visible to the public.”

Family fun at Meeting Creek By Lori Larsen

Plan a day of family fun at Meeting Creek on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., during the Canadian Northern Railway Family Day. Jump aboard the Track Motor Car for a ride on the rails, then take in a guided tour of the historical Meeting Creek Railway Station and on-site historical grain elevator. “As a project for 2021, we needed to work on the elevator, specifically the elevator office,” said Canadian Northern Society Board director and Meeting Creek project chairperson Glenys Smith. “People have worked since early spring doing a lot of work inside the elevator to repair things, but we have also had other people helping to clean things and do signage.” Part of the restoration involved the conservation of the elevator artifacts such as the scales for weighing moisture and grain, as well as creating interpretive signage. “There is still a lot of work to do on the elevator. This is a huge project.” Let yourself drift back to a simpler time with a ride on an old fashioned, horse-drawn wagon down the abandoned Canadian Northern rail line. “This year, the wagon ride will start at the Com-

munity Hall and will go down to Highway 56 right through the grassland and then will stop so people will be able to get off and walk the labyrinths,” explained Smith. The Railway Family Day will also include safely planned crafts and games for the younger and elder alike. “We are going to have the grass skis and stilts out, and hopefully in the folklore, the children, parents and grandparents will help to build the village so it becomes intergenerational.” While you are there, plan a hike or cycle on the Linear Park System and marvel at the sights and sounds of the grasslands. Pick up a Discovery Pack or brochure and enjoy some birdwatching and learning about the native flora and fauna. “We have increased the size of the stile on the trail that goes to Edberg so people can get horses or bicycles through there easier,” noted Smith. Pack a blanket and enjoy a picnic lunch while imagining what it would have been like to ride the rails into Meeting Creek. Food and beverages will be available for purchase at the Meeting Creek Community Hall. Smith said it has taken many volunteers to help

to have the community support on board,” said Smith. “It is a small community, but the people around and also people from the County are on board. It is important to share what we have learned and what we have done out there with people.” Something for everyone awaits on Aug. 14 at Meeting Creek site, where you and the family can step back in time and enjoy a fun and adventurous day of activities.

Kasa named executive director, heads CDSS into future By Murray Green

Lyndel Kasa is the new executive director for Camrose and District Support Services. “I am excited to have a new role for CDSS. For the past year I have been working in the program director role with Changing Ways (formerly known as Family Violence Action Society). Previous to that I was the program coordinator for the University of Alberta, Faculty of Nursing, Augustana Campus. I have a number of skills as a registered nurse, educator, and leader that are transferable,” she shared. “Making a career move last year was a challenging experience for me. For 28 years my professional identity has been as a registered nurse and moving into the not-for-profit world felt very foreign. But once I immersed myself in family violence prevention; fund development; social support services; and trauma-informed practice; I quickly realized how transferrable and relevant all my nursing knowledge and expertise is. Community development, relationships and partnerships, building capacity—that is at the heart of nursing.” Lyndel wants to use her skills to help the entire community, the community she grew up in. “I feel that this executive director role with CDSS offers all the things I love about nursing and allows me to use my strengths to support our community.

thrive on developing and growing programs, collaboration, ensuring sustainability, creating community awareness and engagement and establishing relationships and partnerships in the community,” said Lyndel. “I am a long time community member. I was born and raised here, my husband and I farm here, we have raised our family here, and I am committed to engaging and serving in this community. I am excited for this opportunity,” added Lyndel. “What is important, is creating more awareness that we offer programs for the benefit of the community. We are

not just an administrative umbrella for human services programs, we offer information and support and referrals, and we want people to be aware and engaged within the community. We also help with transportation, elder abuse, family violence, home support, parenting, rural outreach, and issues related to mental health. Coming out of the pandemic, we have realized that we don’t have to do things the way we have always done them - there are options and opportunities to creatively offer services and supports that meet the needs of our community. We want to serve the needs

of the community. Collaboration is important - for example working with the rural FCSS’s and other community agencies to provide accessible resources and support to people that live in rural communities. Some people don’t have access to come all the way to Camrose,” said Lyndel. “Margaret (Holliston) had a lot of networks in place and I want to maintain those, and grow those relationships. CDSS has been an important of the community for a long time. We want people to know that we are here to help.” Starting this September, CDSS will have a case manager for elder abuse. “Elder

abuse isn’t often reported, but it exists in our community. Changing Ways received a one-year grant to implement an elder abuse response and hire a case manager. That person will be working at Mirror Lake Centre, so they are close to SOS (Service Options for Seniors) as partners. In 2020, only two cases of elder abuse are reported to 211 or police, however, SOS may receive two calls a week.

Giesbrecht enjoys Wildcat convertible By Murray Green

Henry Giesbrecht of Camrose fully enjoys his 1968 Buick Wildcat convertible. “We purchased this car in the spring of 1970, so a newer trade-in at two years old. I saw the car was advertised in the paper in Calgary all winter, so I went to the dealership and started to negotiate for it,” explained Henry. The Buick Wildcat was a full-sized automobile that was produced by Buick from 1962 to 1970. It took its name from a fiberglass-bodied 1953 concept car. “I had a 1969 Olds Cutlass before that, but I wanted the Wildcat and a convertible. I thought it would be nice to have a convertible for a change,” he continued. “It was our main car for quite a few years. Both of our girls learned to drive with the car, and both of them used it as a wedding car as well,” shared Henry. “We have even had a granddaughter use it as a wedding car, and a few friends of ours along the way too.” The convertible has also seen its fair share of parades throughout the years. “We go to most cruises if the weather cooperates.” The Wildcat features

a 430 engine and a 400 transmission. “That transmission was used in threequarter ton trucks, so it is a heavy duty transmission. I’ve never had any

FUN FACTS

The year 1967 brought a new engine to the Wildcat line (along with the Riviera and Electra 225)– a 430-cubic-inch V8 with four-barrel carburetor and 360-horsepower rating that featured larger valves for better breathing than the previous 401 and 425 Nailhead design that dated back to Buick’s first V8 in 1953. The 430 was relatively short lived as it was only offered through the 1969 model year. For 1970, the 430 was superseded by the largest Buick V8 engine ever–a 455-cubic-inch engine that was basically a bored version of the previous engine with the same large-valve design, a horsepower rating of 370 and torque rating of more than 500 pounds. In 1967 and 1968, the addition of new federally mandated safety equipment that provided better occupant protection in collisions and accident avoidance features were added as well. Like other full-size cars of the late 1960s, the Buicks became bigger, plusher and less economical. The Wildcat was offered only in custom trim for its final year of 1970. It was superseded by the Buick Centurion for 1971.

trouble with the transmission. We did rebuild the motor after about 125,000 miles,” recalled Henry. “There is only 5,000 or 6,000 on this rebuilt motor since it was completed in the mid-’80s. I restored the car in the winter of 1982. It was quite badly rusted out, so I had to rebuild the back fenders. Then I re-painted it the same colour and that is the last I have done to the car,” said Henry. “I tried to keep it original, but I replaced the front seat. The back seats are original still.” From 1966 to 1969, the base (with trim similar to the 1965 Wildcat deluxe) and custom trims were again the sole options. “I remember when we lived in Edson. We lived there at the time we bought the car, having moved from Calgary to Edson, and on one trip, we were heading back to Calgary to visit and we had the top down. We saw

a storm coming up and it was a real bad thunderstorm. It was raining like crazy and we had the top down. I drove at 80 miles an hour, so the children in

the back seat didn’t even get wet,” laughed Henry. “It doesn’t take long to put up because it is on hydraulics. You just push a button.”

Optimism in the midst of hardship By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

From the economic challenges faced by East Central Alberta to the uncertainty the COVID-19 pandemic brought, it has been a difficult few years to say the least. Yet, in the midst of it all, the resilience of Canadians has shone through. Traveling across Battle River-Crowfoot, I’ve seen a growing feeling of optimism about our future as we are able to open our businesses, see our loved ones, and live life without restrictions. This optimism comes despite the many hardships over the last couple of years, as well as the challenges to come as we face drought, a struggling economy, and a challenging national political situation. This speaks to the willingness to soldier on despite the odds, a trait that has long defined rural Alberta. That said, each day I hear how folks from across this constituency are fed up with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his scandal-plagued Liberals. We want a government that respects provinces, acts in the best interests of all Canadians, and isn’t lining their own pockets. Ensuring there is an ethical and strong alternative to the Trudeau Liberals is something Canada’s Conservatives are working toward each and every day. The question of an election is a difficult one. Many folks have shared that a summer election is not appropriate, and it is important to ensure that the economic and fiscal consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are better understood, and investigations into the Prime Minister’s conduct have been completed. Overall, there is very little trust that Justin Trudeau and the Liberals will be fair players in a pandemic election. Generally, a minority Parliament sees an election triggered by a loss of a vote of confidence in the House of Commons, something that has not happened because the Liberals have been propped up by the NDP. However, there is no enforcement mechanism in place that would stop a Prime Minister from going to the Governor General to ask for an election to be called. If the rumours are true, it sounds like the Prime Minister will break his word and ask for an election in the coming weeks. The timing of an election is supposed to reflect the democratic process–either the four-year fixed date or a confidence vote in the people’s House of Commons. However, neither the will of the people nor the law has stopped our current Prime Minister from trying to do what he feels is in his political best interest. As your Member of Parliament, you can count on me to work diligently each and every day on your behalf, regardless of the election speculation. And when an election is called, I will be proud to once again have my name on the ballot as your Conservative choice, ready to stand on my record and present a plan that will focus on securing your, and East Central Alberta’s, future.

Doris Ellinor Erickson

Elvera Frances (Eckstrand) Millang January 18, 1924 ~ July 30, 2021 Elvera Frances Millang, beloved mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister-in-law, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2021, at the age of 97. Elvera spent her last days surrounded by family, and in the loving care of the staff at Bashaw Meadows. Elvera was born to Edla and Charles Eckstrand on their family homestead south of Sedgewick. After completing her schooling, Elvera worked for neighbouring families, moving into their homes and sewing for them. Elvera used whatever clothing and fabric they had to remake outfits for the children. Elvera’s innate talent for sewing took her to Camrose, where she opened her own dressmaking shop. It was there that she met the love of her life, Oliver Millang. Together with their three children, Elvera and Oliver worked hard to build up their family farm. Elvera enjoyed sewing, landscape painting, gardening, cake decorating, and creating a beautiful and loving home. At the age of 50, Elvera began work as a ward aide at the Rosehaven Care Centre. She enjoyed caring for her residents and spent her free time visiting with the ladies, painting their nails and sharing her love. Faith was an integral part of Elvera’s life, and Messiah Lutheran Church was her second home. Elvera’s sewing talents were well displayed in the many banners she created and with the numerous quilts she sewed for Lutheran World Relief. Life was not always easy for Elvera, but she met life’s challenges with grace, kindness, and compassion. Service to others was of upmost importance. Those fortunate enough to know Elvera experienced her love and unconditional acceptance. Nothing brought Elvera more joy than spending time with family. She cherished her grandchildren and was a constant presence in their lives. Many hours were spent in their company: visiting, playing games, and enjoying her delicious meals. She was also delighted to become a great-grandma and lit up every time she saw her precious little ones. Elvera was the best mom, mother-inlaw, grandma and great-grandma! Elvera leaves to cherish her memory: her children Leanne Millang of Edmonton, Colin and Donna Millang of Sherwood Park, and Karen and Dave Nelson of Camrose; granddaughter Maria and Mark Skriver of Camrose and their children Cohen, Alec and Carson; granddaughter Melanie and Murray Kowalczyk of Edmonton and their children Jack and Zoey; grandson Joshua Millang and Donnelle Stevenson of Camrose; special friend Dani Osterwalder of Camrose; brother-in-law Lester and Agnes Millang of Camrose; sister-in-law Harriet Campbell of Edmonton; sister-in-law Ardith Eckstrand of Killam; and numerous nieces, nephews and step-grandchildren. Elvera was predeceased by Oliver in 1993; her parents and her siblings; and her nephew Gary Heer. Elvera’s family had a memorial service to honour her memory on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Messiah Lutheran Church in Camrose, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to The Bethany Group Foundation in memory of Elvera Millang. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

November 11, 1931 ~ July 29, 2021 Doris was born to Axel and Palma Liden in Edberg, baptized, and confirmed at the Swedish Lutheran Church in Meeting Creek. She received her early education at Rosebush and Edberg, and attended U of A to receive a teaching certificate. She was the first Grade 1 teacher in the new addition at Bawlf School. She met her first husband Art while walking to the school. He would be hauling milk to the cheese factory and would frequently pick her up and drive her to school. Romance blossomed and they married on July 3, 1954. They initially resided at the Selness farm, where their first child Lynne was born. The following year, in 1957, they bought the house south of Highway 13, across from Bawlf. Here, Les was born, followed by Marlis and Murray. The family moved to the Erickson farm two miles east of Bawlf, where they moved in with Mel, while a new house was being built. Art died on January 12, 1967. Doris and her kids moved into the new house in the summer of 1967. She had her hands full, raising four children and looking after her garden. A second romance began, and Doris married Mel on August 16, 1969. They continued to farm while Doris substituted at Bawlf School. Her life was busy driving the kids to basketball, baseball, hockey, and volleyball games, but she was their most avid fan, whooping loudly from the sidelines. Doris and Mel moved off the farm into Bawlf in 1987. Doris’s mom Palma moved in with them and when her health failed, Doris looked after her until Palma died in 1993. Mel’s health declined and Doris once again became caregiver for him, until he passed away in 1995. Doris remained active in the community, especially with the Bawlf Lutheran Church, where she was involved with the Ladies’ Aid, taught Sunday School, led VBS, and sang in and directed the choir. She was a fabulous gardener, enjoyed her cat Grey, crocheting and doing crossword puzzles. She would literally whistle while she worked. She also canvased for different Foundations. Grandkids and neighbourhood kids would stop in for her homemade cookies or bologna sandwiches and macaroni. In 2012, Doris sold her home in Bawlf and moved to St. Albert to live with Marlis and Wilf. She became very active with her gardening and sang in the St. Albert church choir. She loved to attend concerts and enjoyed all her visits with her eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren, family and new friends. We all fondly called her “GG” – Great Grandma. She treasured the phone conversations with her kids, favourite nieces, and old friends. Doris was able to travel to Switzerland two times, France, Germany and Italy, and joined the family in Panorama for the annual ski trip in March. Even though she didn’t like being the main attraction, she thoroughly enjoyed her surprise 85th birthday party, when over 100 people celebrated with her. She was loved and admired for her strength and faithful heart, smiling face, sense of humour, sweetness, special laugh, and warm and welcoming personality. Her health started to decline, living with Parkinson’s and Macular Degeneration, but her faith in God helped her with this, and with the help of her family and loving caregivers Jamie, Erika, Mel, Joan and Grace, she was able to die peacefully in her home in St. Albert. She will be missed by all who knew her. A private family service was held, and a link to the recording of the service will be posted on our website at a later date. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Doris’s memory may be made to the Bawlf Lutheran Church or to the Canadian Bible Society.

McCAW, William Garnet June 20, 1967 ~ August 1, 2021 William Garnet McCaw, age 54, of Leduc, AB, passed peacefully on Sunday, August 1, 2021, after a brief battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family at the Leduc Community Hospital during his last time on earth. Born in Port Hope, ON on June 20, 1967, he was the eldest son of Ronald and Joan McCaw. He leaves behind his mother Joan; brother Brennan; his two nieces and nephew Madison, Katelyn and Jake McCaw; his uncles and aunts Daniel Lummiss, Joe (Mary Anne) McCaw, Georgina (Wally) Moffat, Patricia Reid and Diane Amey; as well as his many cousins. He was predeceased by his father Ronald; his sister-inlaw Marcy; and his uncles Don Reid and Roy Amey. William called several places home (Ontario, Yukon Territories, Northwest Territories, British Columbia and Alberta) and many people friends throughout his life. A gentle giant, William was always willing to lend a hand or provide a shoulder on which to lean to those who needed it. His family and friends were the centre of his life, and he was happiest when surrounded by them. He also enjoyed the many hours spent with his colleagues at Walmart and former colleagues at Safeway, and was so looking forward to returning to work at some point. His gentle smile, good nature and generosity will forever live in our hearts. His interment will be held privately and the details of his Celebration of Life will be posted at a later date.

Karen Lynn Wright December 1, 1956 ~ July 24, 2021 Karen Wright passed away at the Mazankowski Heart Institute on July 24, 2021 at 10:30 p.m. Karen Wright was born Karen Lynn Annas on December 1, 1956, in the Hanna Hospital, Hanna, Alberta. Her parents were John Peter Annas, father, and Edna Annas, mother. John was born in 1931 at Scapa, Alberta on the farm; her mother, Edna Olson, was born at Dinant, Alberta, south of Tofield, in 1931. Karen was educated in Hanna, Alberta, and was privileged to be taught by John C. Charyk, the most noted teacher of mathematics in the province of Alberta. Karen went on to achieve a degree in Business Administration at Mount Royal College, Calgary. Karen married Forrest Wright on September 7, 1974, in Hanna, Alberta. They had two sons, Stuart Dean Wright and his partner Shawna Ogonoski, of Lethbridge and Christopher John Wright and Nicole Wright of Beaumont and their daughter and our granddaughter, Ania Alexander. Karen’s career commenced in Edmonton as an accounting technician with the firm of Gary Coskey and Associates. Gary Coskey often commented that even though Karen did not have a formal accounting degree, she had the most natural accounting mind he had ever encountered. Karen went on to become the Chief Executive Officer of Crown Corporation in East Central Alberta, where she served for over twenty years. After Karen left her career as a CEO, she commenced a sevenyear odyssey in the research of her father’s genealogy. Karen and Forrest, with many of the distant relatives, mostly in the Wetaskiwin area, traveled across the Ukraine to visit where her father was born in the only Swedish village granted by Catherine the Great to the Swedes in the year 1774. At the culmination of her research, she published a book named The Promised Land, where she meticulously documented in 530 pages the story of her dad’s family going back to 1552. Karen and Forrest shared a deep affection for music, mostly due to Forrest’s maternal grandmother, Gladys Givens. They attended Handel’s “Messiah” with a special group of friends over forty years at Christmas. Karen and Forrest were fortunate to travel extensively and attend many of the great music halls. A service will be held for Karen Wright at the Mount Olivet Lutheran Church, 205 Fir Street, Sherwood Height Park, Sherwood Park, Alberta at 2:00 p.m. on August 14, 2021. At a later date, with Forrest, our two sons with spouses and a family entourage, Karen will be interred at the Hanna Cemetery. Donations in Karen’s memory are gratefully accepted to Mount Olivet Lutheran Church or a charity of one’s choice.

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.

WANTED

Be Honest

WILL ACCEPT OLD VEHICLES, machinery, scrap iron, etc. Car batteries (will pay for). Call 780-672-6917 or 780686-5211.

State Your Price

SERVICES

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. 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.

Open Farm Days is also the perfect excuse to travel throughout Alberta’s rural communities and experience our beautiful province and local culture that is Alberta. There are over 100 fun and unique experiences for you and your family to enjoy. Open Farm Day hosts are excited to welcome you,” said Tim Carson, CEO of Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies. Visit albertaopenfarmdays.ca for more information. The incubator is an Open Farm Days program that introduces farmers to a small concept development to create a new food product. The program takes the farms through concept, recipe development and processing to the final stages of packaging. Wildflower Honey

It’s August already? September is practically next week! Time to pick out a Halloween costume and start your Christmas shopping. Happy New Year, everybody! Parents don’t really go on vacation. They just take care of their kids at a different location. In the future, every Olympic event should include one average person competing for reference. Just imagine: “And here’s our average Joe, who just found out five minutes ago how curling works.” “Here’s Stacey, she’s ice skated twice in her entire life and today she competes beside the best in the world and – oh, she fell again. What a good sport, look at her getting up, using the wall!” If by camping, you mean my hotel room faces the woods, then yeah, I’ll go camping. After age 35, there’s no way to get out of a pool float with your dignity intact. Two suggestions to make your day better: 1. Do not watch the News. 2. Stay off the bathroom scale. This morning, my son said his ear hurt and I said, “On the inside or outside?”, so he walked out the front door, came back in and said, “Both.” Moments like this have me wondering if I’m saving too much for college. Camrose Police Service reminds you to lock your car doors, especially now. Your friends and neighbours and even strangers will put free zucchini in your car. KEEPS ON GOING

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster

Despite a serious injury to his left foot and another injury to his eye in July, Kelly Weibe just keeps trucking and now has hit 852 times walking around Mirror Lake. Kelly is pictured here flying the Canadian flag as he walks around Camrose.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Centrally located bungalow

Not to brag, but I just went into the other room and actually remembered why I went in there! It was the bathroom, but still… One minute you’re 21, staying up all night drinking beer, eating pizza and doing sketchy stuff just for fun. Then, in the blink of an eye, you’re 50, drinking water, eating salad and you can’t do any sketchy stuff because you pulled a muscle putting on your socks. Just failed my driving test. When the examiner asked me, “What sign would you expect to see down a narrow country road?” Apparently, “Fresh Eggs for Sale” wasn’t the answer. Cop: “You were going fast.” Me: “I was just trying to keep up with traffic.” Cop: “There isn’t any.” Me: “I know! That’s how far behind I am.”

By Lori Larsen

Location is everything and being near downtown shopping, schools, parks and playgrounds is essential for young families. Located on a quiet culde-sac, this updated bungalow fills all the needs for a home. Plenty of updates including siding, exterior insulations, vinyl windows, shingles, furnace, flooring, kitchen paint colours and trim make this home move-in ready. The welcoming front entry leads into an open concept living and dining area, saturated with natural light from the large windows. Patio doors off the living area lead out onto the two-tiered deck that takes you down into a fabulous fully fenced back yard. The u-shaped kitchen has been updated to style and has plenty of counter space for food preparation and a pull-out pantry for storage. Two bedrooms and an updated

four-piece bathroom complete the main floor. The fully finished basement offers a huge family room with a cozy gas fireplace, another bedroom and a two-piece bathroom, laundry and storage. Plan to spend lots of time outside in the amazing back yard with large mature trees for privacy and a play area for the children. Park your car in the detached garage with back alley access, and park additional vehicles on the large gravel pad. This wonderful bungalow, located at 5010-42 Street, is ready for you to call home and priced budget friendly at $272,000. Join Matthew Mayer at an open house on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. or, for a personal viewing, contact Matthew at: Central Agencies Realty 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 Cell 780-781-7088

Matthew Mayer

I just fired myself from cleaning my house. I don’t like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job. Dad: “When I was your age, I ran a maratho.” Son: “You mean a marathon?” Dad: “No, I didn’t finish.” “I just cleared out some space in the freezer” sounds much more productive than “I just polished off another pint of ice cream.” The salesperson at Ken’s Furniture told me a sofa would seat five people without any problems. Then it occured to me, I don’t think I know five people without any problems. When we’re young, we sneak out of our house to go to parties. When we’re old, we sneak out of parties to go home. Believe in yourself! If cauliflower can become pizza, you can do anything! How hot is it in East Central Alberta? A buddy golfing at Daysland said he killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen. At Driedmeat Lake, someone caught a 10-pound jack fish that had ticks on it! Just this week in Killam, a fire hydrant was seen bribing a dog. In Camrose, the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Lutherans are using wet wipes, the Anglicans are giving out rain cheques and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.
