The Alberta Government recently recognized 23 outstanding Alberta immigrants with the 2022 Alberta Newcomer Recognition Awards.

Among the 23 recipients was Camrose resident Doctor Itua Iriogbe who was one of three recipients of the Small Community Enhancement Awards.

“Congratulations to all recipients of the inaugural Alberta Newcomer Recognition Awards,” commended Alberta Premier Jason Kenney. “You have demonstrated courage, creativity and compassion as you have built your lives and achieved success here. Alberta is lucky you have chosen to call this province your home.”

The Alberta Newcomer Recognition Awards launched in June to celebrate the invaluable contributions immigrants make to the province’s neighbourhoods, economies, professions and communities. Recipients include youth, women, seniors, entrepreneurs, academics, professionals and community builders who have made a difference in their schools, workplaces, neighbourhoods and volunteer organizations.

Dr. Itua has contributed to occupational and disability medicine and to the community of Camrose.

He established the first occupational injury service clinic in Camrose County. Itua has provided support and informational sessions for new doctors coming to Alberta and Canada in general over the years. He serves as the president of the Occupational and Environmental Medical Association of Canada, membership director of the Canadian Board of Occupational Medicine, and is a member of the Camrose environmental committee.

“I am thrilled to have one of our local Camrose doctors recognized in the category of Small Community Enhancement Award,” commented Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely. “It is important to recognize the work by not only Doctor Iriogbe but all of our doctors. I look forward to congratulating him in person for his achievement. I’m also looking forward to many more of our new doctors being recognized for their work in Rural Alberta.”

Three brothers, age 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together.

One night , the 96-year- old draws a bath, puts his foot in and pauses. He yells down the stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?”

The 94-year- old yells back , “I don’t know, I’Il come up and see.” He star ts up the stairs and pauses, then he yells, “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?”

The 92-year- old was sitting at the kitchen table having co ee listening to his brothers. He shakes his head and says, “I sure hope I never get that forget ful.” He knocks on wood for good luck .

Then he yells, “I’Il come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

Keep your marriage fresh by writing each other love notes like, “I considered smothering you with a pillow last night , but I didn’t .” Food prices are so high, I even cr y over unspilled milk . It’s o cially “Wear a sweater in the morning and regret it in the af ternoon” weather. Me: “Fall, is that you outside?” Fall: “Almost . I’ll be right there, I’m in the drivethrough at McDonald’s.” In the fall, my family likes to play a little game: How long we can freeze before we turn on the furnace for the rst time. Ever notice when geese y in a V formation, one side is always longer than the other ? That’s because there are more geese on that side! My daughter’s teacher just sent me a glowing email about what a pleasure it is to have her in the classroom. I’m tempted to for ward it to my son’s teacher, just so I can prove the problem isn’t me. Take your age, round it to the nearest decade and divide by 10. That’s how many pillows you need to suppor t your body for a decent night’s sleep. Getting a treadmill changed my life! I don’t even remember where I hung my laundr y before. I wish people had a 30-second trailer just so I can see what I’m getting myself into. When people are sad, I let them colour in my tattoos. Sometimes all they need is a shoulder to crayon. My husband and I both have the common cold. He’s requested a priest and his family to be by his bedside. I’ll get right on that as soon as I nish the laundr y, wash the dishes and mow the lawn. I don’t subscribe to many magazines, but if they came out with Good Enough Housekeeping, that’s one I would read.

Bubba walked into a doctor’s o ce and the receptionist asked him what he had. Bubba said, “Shingles”. So she wrote down his name, address, health care number and told him to have a seat .

Fif teen minutes later, a nurse’s aid came out and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba said again, “Shingles.” So she wrote down his height , weight , a complete medical histor y and told Bubba to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later, a nurse came in and asked Bubba what he had. Bubba again said, “Shingles.” So the nurse gave Bubba a blood test , a blood pressure test , an electrocardiogram, and told Bubba to take o all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later, the doctor came in and asked Bubba what he had. Once again, Bubba said, “Shingles.”

The doctor asked, “Where?”

Bubba said, “Outside on the truck . Where do you want them?!!”
