The Rewards of being a Booster carrier go beyond enjoying earning personal spending money...

Since The Camrose Booster first started publishing the community’s favourite newspaper back in 1952, we’ve relied on carriers to look after delivering our publications and flyers for our valued customers. It’s a job that over the years has been a wonderful first job, stepping stone, interim employment or retirement hobby for countless people. Hundreds of families in the past half-century have become “team carriers” with the objective of saving money for a family vacation, major purchase, college, university or other education.

We are currently looking for carriers on Route 6 and Route 7…

• Carriers are required to deliver

The Booster and inserts on

Tuesdays. We will deliver these to a drop-off point on your route or you may pick them up at our office. • Minimum age is 12 years; approximately half of our routes are delivered by adults.

Reasons to Consider Joining our Team:

1. Spending Money

You are paid CASH, immediately following the completion of your route, or whenever convenient for the carrier.

2. Great Way to Learn Responsibility

Parents of carriers from years gone by routinely report lessons learned from having a scheduled carrier route were the basis or foundation for their child’s other successes in life’s path.

3. Get Paid While You Get Exercise and Fresh Air

This is the reason we are attracting a growing number of adults (many 50 plus!) to do their own route. Over half our routes are delivered by adult carriers.

4. Convenient Hours

After school delivery of The Booster on Tuesday afternoons seems to work for most families. Adult carriers may pick up Boosters at our shop by 1:00 p.m. on

Tuesdays. Routes are to be completed by 6:30 p.m. 5. We Offer a Route that is Close to Your Home

We make it easy for you to access your papers so your route can be quickly completed. Papers may also be picked up at the Booster office if you wish.

6. We Do All of the Interleaving of

Flyers For You!

Your job is simply to provide thorough and ultra-reliable delivery. We do the rest!

Currently we have just these two routes available. WE ARE, HOWEVER, INTERESTED IN YOUR APPLICATION FOR FUTURE OPENINGS. Please pick up an application form at our office and join the Home Team today!

Central Agencies Home of the Week Beautifully built condo

Graham Wideman

By Lori Larsen

Quality in craftsmanship sets this two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo apart from others. Located within walking distance to all the downtown amenities and Mirror Lake parks and walking trails, it is perfect for your come-and-go lifestyle.

The minute you walk into this condo, you are sure to notice how immaculate it is with fresh paint in stylish tones, new carpet, gorgeous wood floors and upgraded appliances.

A large front entryway keeps things neat and tidy.

Nine-foot ceilings add space and light to the large living area which flows nicely into an area for dining. Lots of windows mean lots of natural light to keep the home bright and cheery.

Sleek maple cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances and stylish backsplash tile make the kitchen a wonderful hub of the home.

A large main floor two-piece bathroom is so convenient for guests.

The lower level has two large bedrooms, one featuring a walk-in closet. The oversized four-piece bathroom gives you plenty of space to get ready for your day, and the laundry area is close by for easily putting clothes away. There is also plenty of closet and storage space.

Hardi-plank siding and an ICF constructed basement equate to lower utility heating costs, and an air conditioning unit will keep you cool in the summer.

A dedicated parking spot back of the building is easily accessible.

You will be so impressed with the extra care taken in building this condo, located at 5013-52 Street #1, priced to fit the budget at $212,900. For a personal viewing, contact Graham Wideman at:

Wearing a mask and sunglasses gives me the level of anonymity I’ve always wanted. Did you know you can determine the age of your Christmas tree by counting the lines of duct tape on the box? I just realized that I haven’t done the Hokey Pokey in over ten years. I guess when you get older, you just forget what it’s all about. We should start referring to age as “levels”. So when you get to Level 80, it sounds like you’re amazing at this game of life. A pharmacist walks into his store to fi nd a man leaning against the wall. “What’s wrong with him?” he asks his assistant. “He came in for some cough syrup,” the assistant explains, “But I couldn’t fi nd any, so I sold him a bottle of laxatives instead.” “What?!” the pharmacist says, horrified. “You can’t treat a cough with laxatives!” “Of course you can,” the assistant declares. “Look at him – he’s far too scared to cough!” At what age do kids start rolling their eyes? Because I don’t mean to brag, but I think my daughter’s advanced. Eggs are fantastic for a fi tness diet. If you don’t like the taste of them, just add cocoa, fl our, sugar, butter and baking powder and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I got myself a Senior’s GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there! I’m thinking of joing the Flat Earth Society. They have members all around the globe. Sad news. My obese parrot died today. Mind you, it’s a huge weight off my shoulders. I was all set to cook alligator for dinner, but realized I only had a croc pot. When a short person waves at you, it’s a microwave. Soccer in Canada in November? If I wanted to watch somebody struggle for 90 minutes to score, I’d take my friends to the bar. “Fine” is a weird word. If you go out for fi ne dining, that’s the nicest kind of restaurant. But if they ask you how the food was and you say, “Fine,” that means it was just okay. Then you go out to see you parked illegally and have to pay a fi ne, which is bad. Why do people say, “Good question”? I know it’s good. That’s why I asked it. Me getting my photo taken:

“This is going to turn out great!” Me looking at the photo:

“This is the worst photo I’ve ever seen!” Me looking at the photo 10 years later:

“Dang, I look great!”

Why Couples Fight

• My wife sat down on the couch next to me as

I was fl ipping channels. She asked, “What’s on

TV?” I said, “Dust.” And then the fi ght started… • When I got home last night, my wife asked me to take her someplace expensive. So I took her to the gas station. And then the fi ght started… • I asked my wife, “Where do you want to go for our anniversary?” It warmed my heart to see her melting in sweet appreciation. “Somewhere I’ve not been in a long time,” she replied. So I took her to my parents’ house. And then the fi ght started… • My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said,

“I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 100 in about three seconds.” So I bought her a scale.

And then the fi ght started… • My wife was looking at herself in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, “I feel horrible. I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to give me a compliment.”

I replied, “Your eyesight is perfect.”
