Submitted

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded grants totalling $14,000 from the Foundation’s COVID-19 Response Fund to the Bailey Theatre Society for projects that helped the Bailey adapt to programming requirements during the pandemic.

During early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Battle River Community Foundation directed $100,000 of discretionary funding to a program designed to respond to challenges faced by local organizations, support the recovery of those organizations and assist in maintaining the wellbeing of our citizens and communities because of the effects of COVID-19 on their programs and operations.

This funding was supplemented by $8,900 in funds donated by Foundation supporters for this program, which was partially matched by the Province of Alberta. In total, more than $111,000 was distributed through the program before funds ran out.

The grants to the Bailey allowed the Theatre to adapt to virtual programming by purchasing video-casting equipment and training staff to use it and by providing assistance with relaunch costs. The equipment will be available to supplement on site Bailey offerings for many years to come.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,250,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

It was a twist of good fate combined with the goodness of people that saw a precious wedding ring returned to its rightful, and somewhat distraught, owner.

On August 21, Camrose Safeway assistant meat manager Brent Robson was completing the morning culling of the meat cases, which involved lifting up products to check the bottoms for moisture and shelf dates, when he noticed a diamond ring stuck to the bottom of a roast.

“I looked at the ring and thought that it was a pretty nice ring and likely meant something special to someone,” said Brent. Brent decided to take the ring home and show his wife, who by his own admittance has a better understanding of jewelry.

“She said it looked like it was an expensive and older ring and by what she could tell looking at the setting, likely a wedding ring.”

Concerned that someone would be looking for this sentimental piece of jewelry, Brent spoke with his daughter (Karie) asking her if she could somehow put out a message of “a” ring being found.

Karie put a notification on a Camrose social media page and soon received telephone calls regarding the ring.

“She would ask the caller to describe the ring and if they couldn’t she figured it was not the owner. Then one lady called and described the ring before she was even asked and Karie said she seemed very emotional, almost on the verge of tears. She figured for sure she was the owner.”

The rightful owner was happily reunited with her ring and said she couldn’t be happier and that everyone who went the extra step to ensure the ring was returned are true heros.

Brent remarked. “I was just happy we could get the ring back to its rightful owner. I still can’t believe how lucky it was the ring stuck to the bottom of that roast. It could have easily fell through the grates and we wouldn’t have found it until we cleaned out the cases.”

The roast also could have been picked up dislodging the ring to the ground, or taken home in a customer’s grocery order or a multitude of other, less happy, endings.

However that wasn’t meant to be. What was meant to be was the world’s faith in goodness restored with a “shining” example of humankind.

Change your car horn to a gunshot sound. People seem to move out of the way much faster. I bought a little bag of air today at the gas station. The company that made it was kind enough to put a few potato chips in it as well. I’ve adopted the Japanese method of decluttering. Every material object owned must be thrown away if it doesn’t spark joy. So far, I’ve thrown out the broccoli, the bathroom scale, the City water bill, three mirrors, a treadmill, and two teenagers. More updates next week! I went for a job interview and the manager said, “We’re looking for someone who is responsible.” I replied, “Well, I’m your man, because in my last job whenever anything went wrong they said I was responsible.” I envy people who grow old gracefully, they age like a fi ne wine. I’m aging like milk, getting sour and chunky. To the person who stole by glasses: I will fi nd you. I have contacts. To the person who stole my bed, I won’t rest until I fi nd you. To the person who stole my anti-depressants, I hope you’re happy now. Dear algebra. Stop asking us to fi nd your x. He’s not coming back. We suggest you move on too. Proud to say that my ancestors navigated the ocean using the stars. Embarrassed to admit that I now miss my turns using GPS. Being an adult is mostly just going to bed when you don’t want to and also waking up when you don’t want to. Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life. A waiter just asked me “Do you wanna box for your leftovers?” I said “no, but I’ll wrestle you for them.” Fun fact: Australia’s biggest export is boomerangs. It’s also their biggest import. I used to think my parents did pizza and a movie on Friday nights to be fun, but now I know they were just tired. I confirmed my girlfriend is a ghost. I had my suspicions the moment she walked through the door. Dear Booster editor: I am giving up drinking for a month. Sorry, that came out wrong. I am giving up. Drinking for a month. Don’t enjoy photo radar tickets? Raise your right foot. My car keeps doing that thing where I get in it and suddenly I’m at my favourite drive through. Preschool and tavern rules are the same. You pee your pants, you go home. John is having a bad day. He tried to button his shirt and the button fell off. He picked up his briefcase and the handle fell off. He went to open the door and the doorknob fell off. He’s now scared to go to the bathroom! I don’t always carry all the groceries on one arm, but when I do, my keys are in the wrong pocket. If you’re arguing loudly on your phone in public, please put it on speaker. I need to hear both sides of the story to know whose side I’m on. The fi ve second rule for food dropped doesn’t work if you have a two second dog. A pastor goes to Dr. Chris Dihn for a set of false teeth. The fi rst Sunday, after he gets his new teeth, he talks only for eight minutes. The second Sunday his talk is ten minutes. The third Sunday he rambles on for two hours, fortyeight minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get down from the pulpit. They asked him what happened. The pastor explained: The fi rst Sunday his gums were so irritated he could barely talk. The second Sunday, his gums were somewhat better. The third Sunday, he mistakenly put in his wife’s set of false teeth. He couldn’t shut up!
