Helpful Tips for Writing Classifi ed 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.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s fi ner 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.
State Your Price
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 numberoraddress 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 fi rst 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.

The rewards of being a Booster Carrier
go beyond enjoying g earning personal spending money...spendingmoney...
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 has been a wonderful first job, stepping stone, interim employment or retirement hobby for countless people. Hundreds of families in the past 70 years have become “team carriers” with the objective of saving money for a family vacation, major purchase, college, university or other education. Carriers are required to deliverThe Booster and inserts on Tuesdays. We will deliver these to a drop-o point on your route or you may pick them up at our o ce. 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 age 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 7:00 p.m. 5. We o er 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 o ce 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!
Please pick up an application form at our o ce and join the Home Team today!

Police advise on pedestrian safety
Continued from page 23
“As important as it is for motorists to drive defensively and follow the laws, it is equally important for pedestrians to abide by the rules of the road, but also follow a few tips to further prevent any incidents with motor vehicles,” said Rolfe offering the following suggestions.
Where possible always use crosswalks and pedestrian-activated signals. “It is much safer to cross at marked crosswalks or controlled intersections.”
Pause before crossing and look both ways to make sure it’s safe before you enter the crosswalk.
Once safe, proceed to cross
“Less daylight hours bring about a new set of challenges,” added Rolfe. “People still want to be out walking or running so making yourself highly visible is very important. Wear bright, even reflective, clothing.”
Rolfe said it is also important for pedestrians to remain alert and not be distracted by music, electronic devices or pets.
“Use extra caution during busier traffic times, 7:30 until 9 a.m. and 3 until 7 p.m. and use the sidewalks at all times unless there are none or they are obstructed. In which case walk only on the left side of the roadway or the shoulder of the highway, facing traffic approaching from the opposite direction.”
Rolfe stated that choosing to walk home after consuming alcohol or drugs may seem to be a wiser choice but doing so can pose its own set of risks.
“You still need to be very careful as a pedestrian. Your judgement is still impaired and you may be more likely to cross the road in the wrong place at the wrong time, or enter a crosswalk when it is not safe to do so.”
He suggests, instead, to arrange for a designated driver and or walker to take you home or take a taxi or other form or ride sharing service.

Another Camrose Kodiaks player will be moving his hockey and future plans forward with a commitment to a post secondary school.
Kodiaks forward Ryan Sullivan recently committed to Colgate University (NCAA Div. 1) in New York, USA.
Ryan came to the Camrose Kodiaks in the 202021 season after playing for the Calgary Buffaloes organization.
He has played for the Kodiaks for three years now in a total of 87 games garnering 30 goals, 60 assists and 90 points. During his this time he has also been an alternate captain for two years.
“Ryan has been a great Kodiak,” noted Kodiaks head coach, Clayton Jardine. “He shows up every day ready and willing to put in the work to become a better hockey player on and off of the ice.
“Ryan leads by example with his play on the ice and is a great teammate. I am really excited for Ryan and look forward to watching him chase his dream at the next level”.
Honoured to commit to Colgate University Ryan remarked. “This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my Coaches and teammates. I am looking forward to stepping foot on campus and contributing both on and off the ice. The Colgate values and style of play align with what I believe in as a person and player, making this an exciting decision”.
After completing this season Ryan will be heading off to Colgate University in the fall of 2023.
The pay off for hard work, commitment to the game and the community and maintaining a momentum of moving forward becomes evident for these young hockey players when they are given opportunities, such as these, to grow in their sport and in their learning.
