Everybody talks about it; no one does a thing about it…

Officially, summer begins on June 21, but I never feel like it’s really summer until July.

One week in, this July is my idea of what summer weather should be.

No rain! Sunny skies for days in a row! Temperatures not too hot; not too cold! It actually feels like summer.

Woo Hoo! *** One good thing about the weather. Cold, hot or medium; windy or still; wet or dry; pleasant or unpleasant; the weather gives us something safe to talk about.

It’s not personal. It’s not political. It’s not religious.

It’s not anybody’s choice and it’s not anybody’s fault.

It just is what it is.

That makes weather safe to talk about. Here’s what some folks have said. *** “Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” John Ruskin “There’s no such thing as good weather, or bad weather. There’s just weather and your attitude towards it.” Louise Hay “The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow “Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.” Mark Twain “There’s no such thing as bad weather – only the wrong clothes.” Billy Connolly “On cable TV they have a weather channel – 24 hours of weather. We had something like that where I grew up. We called it a window.” Dan Spencer “You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather.” Pema Chödrön “It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds, for the opportunity to rain on a tent.” Dave Barry “Don’t knock the weather. Nine-tenths of people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in a while.” Kin Hubbard “The storm starts, when the drops start dropping.

When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.” Dr. Seuss “There’s no such thing as bad weather. Just soft people.” Bill Bowerman “Weather forecast for tonight: dark. Continued dark overnight, with widely scattered light by morning.”

George Carlin “A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.” Marcel Proust “What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?” John Steinbeck “When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.”

Alice Hoffman “I like the cold weather. It means you get work done.” Noam Chomsky “After the rain cometh the fair weather.” Aesop “It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us.

In joy we face the storm and defy it.” Amelia Barr “If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm.” Frank Lane “Bad weather always looks worse through a window.” Tom Lehrer “Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.” Oscar Wilde “You can’t get mad at weather because weather is not about you. Apply that lesson to most aspects of life.”

Douglas Coupland “The weather is like the government; always in the wrong.” Jerome K. Jerome “A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.” Carl Reiner “If you don’t like the weather in Alberta, wait ten minutes. It will change.” Unknown *** I’d love to hear from you!

Petitions and referendums

There are two issues in the public consciousness that need to be commented on.

First, wait a minute… there. It took me 2 minutes to type the text of the Corb Lund petition and our government maintains that there is not time to add the question to the October referendum. Unless they come up with a compelling reason for not being able to add the Corb Lund question, I would be forced to be of the opinion that they are either incompetent or corrupt. I wonder which of these they would prefer me to choose?

It seems to me that the Alberta government is afraid of the outcome of the Thomas Lucaszuk “Forever Canada” petition, successfully completed with over 400,000 signatures. Why else would we have heard nothing about how they planned to deal with it? In contrast, it also seems to me that they have embraced the much weaker, and, at this point, unapproved separatist petition which only required 178,000 votes as a result of the government’s deliberate step to make petitions easier to achieve.

What’s more, the government is suggesting that over 700,000 Albertan’s want a petition. The premier is counting the Lukaszuk 400,000 in this number in spite of the fact that Lucaszuk specifically

did not want his question to be a referendum.

Instead, he wanted the question to be put to all Alberta MLAs, so the public could see how each member of the government felt about remaining in Canada.

Furthermore, the petition could not be used in a referendum, because the question was never vetted for constitutionality.

Granted, there is some question about this, because Lucaszuk’s language suggests he would like a referendum “Therefore, we as represented by the signatory and applicant below, propose a referendum on the following question: ‘Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?’.

On the other hand, he never selected the “constitutional referendum” box on the petition submission form.

In any case, somehow the petition has disappeared for months into “committee”. It’s clear to me that the last thing this government wants is to be pressured into revealing its stance on the Forever Canada question. Its handling of this issue speaks volumes…

Second, for years Canadians have looked aghast south of the border at the rampant practice of gerrymandering, which provides a distinct unfair advantage to the party in control of the process. In Canada independent commissions have handled federal and provincial redistricting

since the 1950s and 1960s, ensuring boundaries are drawn based on population equality and community interests rather than partisan advantage.

And yet, we now learn that the UCP is rejecting an independent electoral boundaries commission’s majority report, which cost over a million dollars to produce. Instead, they have established a new, UCP-dominated committee to redraw provincial electoral maps. Oh, and by the way, instead the original report, which was written after a year of public hearings, including more than 1,140 submissions, this hand-picked panel will have NO PUBLIC INPUT and will work behind closed doors. To me, this smacks of the UCP doing whatever it can to tilt the electoral playing field.

I wonder how many other Albertans were as horrified and angered as I was to learn how readily and completely this government has embraced outright cheating to demonstrate their desperation for preserving their power?

Furthermore, I would like to hear our own MLA’s thoughts on these issues. I realize her government has put her in what I hope she sees as a difficult position, but it would be interesting to see just how far her voiced loyalties extend.

Missing were a framed painting of tulips in a vase by Florence McMahon, a framed painting of a woman sitting on a couch by Earl McBeth, a water colour painting of a dozen cala lillies

by Lorna Misiak, and an acrylic painting of the Duggan Barn by Shirley Barnes which was framed using wood from the barn itself.

Masters of ceremony Josiah Tonner, former cadet, welcomed everyone to the ceremonies.

After the awards the Squadron did a drill presentation for the guests and Captain Erin Mitchell shared a few words. “As we wrap up another successful training year I would like to take a

few moments to thank any people who made our squadron possible. First to the parents whether it’s driving to parade nights, weekend activities, community events or getting onto summer training, your support and dedication keeps our cadets moving,” said Capt. Mitchell in her address. “Thank you to our sponsors and our Parent Sponsor Committee, your fundraising efforts and financial support allows us to provide activities, opportunities and awards to enhance the cadet experience throughout the year. We are also very grateful for community partners such as the Camrose Flying Club,” she added. “This summer we are proud to have 12 cadets and one staff member attending courses across Canada, including aviation, drill and ceremonial, aerospace and technology, sport and fitness, marksmanship, music, and we have three attending staff cadet positions as well,” she shared.

The Conlan Davey Memorial Foundation (CDMF) will be hosting J.R.’s First Annual Foot Golf Tournament on July 19 starting at 3 p.m. at the Whistle Stop Golf Course. The tournament is named after Conlan’s brother Jameson. This sport is played on a traditional golf course. The goal is to kick regulation soccer balls into a special oversized cup in as few shots as possible.

This special event came to be when Conlan’s brother Jameson thought this would be a fun event for kids like him. This free event is sponsored by the CDMF, which fits their mission of providing access

Franny Davey, CDMF president, said, “We are hosting this amazing event to give back to our community, a way to say thank you for all your support.

Anyone who has visited the Camrose Heritage Railway Station knows how special the local landmark is. The gardens are beautiful with an abundance of colour, the authentic watchman’s shelter and a CNoR section bunkhouse are true to the era.

In addition, there are a variety of maintenance equipment including a “hand car”, track motor cars, and a velocipede are now preserved that tell the story of maintaining the railway of the day. Don’t forget about the Morgan Garden Miniature Railway and community historic gardens.

The Heritage Railway Station has plans on expanding and as such will be hosting a High Tea Fundraiser on July 18 beginning at 1 p.m.

Glenys Smith has held many roles with the museum over the years and is one of the High Tea organizers. She said, “We don’t often have fundraisers, but we have so many things we are working on right now.”

The fundraiser will have a full high tea menu including favourites like scones and homemade Sunny Boy canapés. The atmosphere will be authentic to the Victorian era and will be decorated with lace tablecloths and fine china with the staff and volunteers dressed in Victorian-style clothing.

This is the community’s opportunity to join in the occasion and also dress in their finest vintage clothing. Ladies can pull out their hats, gloves, parasols and full skirts. Gentlemen are encouraged to wear their trousers, waistcoats with jackets and bowler hats. The tea will include a wedding dress display for the attendees’ viewing pleasure as well as tours of the garden.

The funds raised at this event will go towards several projects like the new Healing Garden gazebo on site. They also have plans on extending the workshop so their volunteers can work on archiving and restoring items for the museum, giving them a comfortable space to work.

Tickets must be purchased in advance with limited space available. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the Camrose Heritage Railway Station by emailing canadiannorthern@ telus.net or calling 780-672-3099.

Volunteers are the Kodiaks’ volunteer Bonnie Siminick backbone of the comBy Nadine Leming

Bonnie Siminick is a 26 year volunteer of the Camrose Kodiaks. Her deep involvement in the local hockey scene began when her son played minor hockey in Camrose alongside players who would go on to wear the Kodiaks jersey.

Her passion for the game transcends generations. The love of hockey runs deep with Bonnie and when she’s not volunteering for the Kodiaks, she is cheering her grandchildren on from the stands.

Bonnie said, “We’ve always been hockey followers of the teams in town.

From the Vikings to the Kodiaks, we just love it.”

In the early years of the team, Bonnie began volunteering off and on.

In the season prior to the Kodiaks capturing the Royal Bank Cup (now the Centennial Cup), she evolved from a casual volunteer to becoming a staple of every home game.

For close to three decades, Bonnie has supported various eras of Kodiaks’ leadership and has been a steady presence.

She speaks of former head coach and general manager Boris Rybalka with high regard and shares the same view of current gen-

eral manager Eric Kroetch and the front office staff.

Bonnie heads the team’s ticketing team at every home game. She expertly coordinates eight to nine volunteers who sell tickets, scan passes and greet fans with hospitality at each arena entrance.

Under Bonnie’s guidance, fans have come to expect a smooth and welcoming atmosphere as they enter the arena. Bonnie holds her group of volunteers in high regard. She places each individual in a way that sets them up for success. Bonnie comments, “This wouldn’t function without volunteers. My group is great.”

munity. The Kodiaks are appreciative of the unwavering support Bonnie provides. The dedication of volunteers from behind the scenes, like Bonnie, keeps game day operations running smoothly. It is the kind of service fans have come to expect so they can simply enjoy the game.

Working with the Kodiaks is more than just a volunteer position for Bonnie. It offers her a social outlet as she enjoys the opportunity to catch up with familiar faces and build a relationship with loyal fans.

Bonnie is deeply connected to the team and feels they are vital to the

Bonnie Siminick

social fabric of the community as the team inspires many Camrose minor hockey players to want to play for the Kodiaks.

She commented, “I think the Kodiaks are great for the community, and it’s great for the players because it pulls everyone together.”

Wrapping up an incredible 34 years in policing

SPECIAL OCCASIONS

65 YEARSS

& COUNTING

HENRY & SYLVIA GIESBRECHT ON THEIR EIRR SPECIAL DAY BACK OONN JULY 22, 1961.

LOVE AND CONGRATULATIONSS FROM YOUR FAMILYY Submitted

With his announcement of retirement on July 15, Camrose Police Service Chief Dean LaGrange said he is proud to complete a 34-year policing career as the Chief of Camrose Police Service.

When asked where it all began, Dean chuckled as he recalled, at six years old, imitating his then hero, Poncherello, a character on the late ’70s/ early ’80s CHiPs television show, who portrayed a motorcycle police officer in California. “I would ride my bike up and down our family farm pretending I was a motorcycle cop.

I remember pulling my grandmother over when she drove into the yard.”

However, his adult career in policing began when LaGrange started with the Calgary Police Service. He ended his 25-year stint as Inspector, then moved on to serve the Red Deer RCMP as Inspector for one-and-ahalf years. Recognizing an opportunity to wrap up his career serving a smaller community as the Chief of Police, LaGrange spent the last seven years as the Camrose Police Service Chief of Police.

“My first impression of Camrose, having never even been here before, was how intimate it felt,” said LaGrange. “I would run into people anywhere in the community, whether at the grocery store or in the capacity of my position, and be recognized.

And people would always greet you. Camrose really embodies community policing and this was the first time I really felt it.”

The warm welcome extended beyond the community itself and was experienced tenfold from members of Camrose Police Service.

“Despite not having many connections in the community when he came to Camrose, Chief LaGrange treated

Camrose as his home and was committed to providing a level of service to the community that it had come to expect and deserve,” commented Camrose Police Service Inspector Rene Brisson.

“Chief LaGrange was proud of his appointment as the Chief of Police in Camrose, and he often shared that locally, provincially and nationally.”

Chief LaGrange remarked how immensely humbled and proud he was to have led Camrose Police Service, and how impressed he is with the level of professionalism and capability of the officers.

“Camrose Police Service is recognized provincially and within the Association of Alberta Chiefs of Police,” said LaGrange.

“The members of Camrose Police Service consistently punch above their weight.

The community can take pride in knowing that their Police Service is very well respected and capable of any type of investigation. The training is second to none and community involvement is the highest I have seen in any police agency.”

LaGrange added that the officers not only have a thumb on the pulse of activity in Camrose and know local offenders, they are also well aware of outof-towners and maintain a tight grip on any activity that has the potential to put the community at risk.

He noted that crime in Camrose is typically on the property crime spectrum versus major crime.

“We really have no robberies or stranger attacks.”

He contributes this in part to the geographical location of Camrose, but also officer knowledge and an overall sense of the community looking out for each other.

“If something happens in Duggan Park, all other areas of the community care. It’s a rare and wonderful thing.”

It’s fair to say that Chief LaGrange was an incredible fit for Camrose.

He was often seen out and about, attending community events, chatting up citizens and basically ensuring that the community knew he was a “people’s chief.” He was well respected in the community and within the agency itself.

“It’s been seven years of great work and a lot of laughs, shaped by his easygoing, down-to-earth approach and strong commitment to mentoring the future leaders of our organization,” commented Camrose Police Service Acting Chief John Corbett.

“It’s truly been a pleasure to work with him, and we’ll miss his humour and the way he kept things real. We wish him all the best in his retirement and future endeavours.”

Aside from serving the community, Chief LaGrange made it his goal to ensure the Service itself, in all capacities, experienced progress and continued growth. Throughout his seven years, achievements included: changes in equipment, including new dress uniforms and badges; push bumpers for the patrol units; external vests; baseball caps; lit pistols and red dot sights; capital changes such as the new sergeant office, briefing room, report room and boardroom, 911 centre and new 911 backup location; and changes in keeping with technology advancements including e-bikes, two drones, AFFRACS radios, Next Gen 911 and body cameras.

“While most chiefs keep an eye on operations from the office, ours made it a priority to personally ‘test’ every new piece of technology that we acquired – particularly drones and e-bikes, sometimes right down the hallway,” noted Corbett.

Chief LaGrange recognizes he has been blessed

Love from your family in his career, the people he has met and the people he has been so fortunate to work with over the years.

In reflecting on the seven years as Chief, LaGrange acknowledged that Camrose Police Service is not just the uniforms seen on the streets. He said that without the incredible work of all members of the agency, including the 911 Communication Centre, administration and support services (Crime and Trauma Support Services, IT Services, crime analyst and the cell guards) and the support of the Police Commission, City and various external agencies, Camrose Police Service would not be able to provide the level of service to the community that it does.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize the two senior officers, my wingmen, who have been there from the beginning, assisting me as not only a new chief, but new to the community,” said LaGrange, referring to Brisson and Corbett. “I relied heavily on their input, decision making and feedback and valued their opinions and knowledge about the community and policy. I sin-

cerely could not have done it without them.”

There is no denying the respect and support that Chief LaGrange received from all members of the Service.

“Chief LaGrange always took the time to recognize the success of others, understanding that in our line of work, those efforts don’t always receive the recognition they deserve,” said Brisson. “He led by empowering those around him – placing trust in his people, supporting their growth, and creating an environment where others could lead and flourish with confidence. His success as a leader is reflected in the strength, professionalism and integrity of the team he built.”

In finding the words to sum up a 34-year policing career, Chief LaGrange, not uncharacteristically, sat back in his chair and reflected with a sense of sentiment.

“It’s been a good ride and I can’t thank everyone enough for the support. It truly has been a pleasure.”

On behalf of Camrose Police Service and a grateful community, we wish Dean and his family all the best in the future.

Council approves funding for new track at ÉCCHS

By Adan Shaikh

Camrose City Council has approved funding of up to $150,000 toward resurfacing the outdoor running track at École Camrose Composite High School.

The funding represents the City’s 30 per cent share of the project under a cost-sharing agreement signed in 2002 between the City of Camrose, Battle River School Division and Elk Island Catholic

School Division. Under the agreement, Battle River School Division retains ownership of the track, the City is responsible for 30 per cent of repair costs, and Elk Island Catholic School Division covers 10 per cent.

According to the report presented to council on June 22, the rubberized running surface is in poor condition and all three partners agree repairs are needed in the near future.

BRSD has shared they intend to do the repairs

this summer. “I was over there this morning and the track is peeling off in big chunks in different areas,” shared Councillor Don Rosland. He highlighted how the track is used by the residents regularly with over 10 track meets each year, and this is a priority for many parents.

The total quoted cost of the resurfacing project is $428,910, with the City’s estimated share at $128,673. Council approved funding of up to $150,000 to account for

potential cost inflation or unforeseen repairs identified during construction.

The report says Battle River School Division first discussed the project with the City in 2024, before providing formal notice in 2025. City administration asked that the work be postponed until 2027, so it could be considered during the City’s budget process, but the School Division advised in May 2026 that it intended to complete the project in 2026 in time for the 2026-27 school

year. Administration indicated it would continue attempting to negotiate a 2027 timeline, although the School Division was expected to proceed with its 2026 plans.

The funding was not included in the City’s 2026 budget. Administration recommended the City’s share be paid from any available 2026 operating surplus. If no surplus is available, the funding would come from the City’s Stabilization and Contingency Reserve.

Stuckles still enjoy their 1947 Oldsmobile decades later

By Adan Shaikh

Bruce and Cindy Stuckles own a 1947 Oldsmobile. Bruce purchased the four-door sedan in 2000 from a man in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., but the car’s history stretches back much further.

“I have had this since 2000, it used to belong to the post master of Burns Lake, B.C., and apparently he put this car on a ship and took it overseas and spent one summer driving around. Then another guy bought it and brought it to Tumbler Ridge and he was going to restore it but he didn’t, so I bought it off of him,” said Bruce.

The restoration was completed using the car’s original drivetrain. “I took it all apart, cleaned up the parts. The car itself, as far as body work goes, it was really, really good. This is the same motor it came with, this is all stock,” said Bruce.

“The only thing that is not original in this vehicle is the paint and the seats.”

The Oldsmobile is powered by its original 238-cubic-inch flathead inline six-cylinder engine, producing about 100 horsepower. It is paired with a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, a feature that helped distinguish Oldsmobile

LIKE SITTING ON A COUCH

Adan Shaikh, Camrose Booster Cindy and Bruce Stuckles have only modified the seats and paint of the vehicle. The rest of it remains stock.

from many competitors in the late 1940s. The flathead six was designed for dependable performance instead of speed, delivering smooth power suited to long highway travel.

FUN FACTS

According to collector websites, while manual transmissions remained the norm across much of the industry, Hydra-Matic offered drivers smooth, clutch-free operation and had already earned a reputation for durability during the Second World War. The car still wears its original chrome grille and hood rocket.

The “two inches” measurement on the 1947 Oldsmobile strictly refers to the drum brake lining width on the rear wheels.

Because materials were still being diverted post-WWII, the front end featured a bold, locomotive-style chrome grille, while the rear featured “floating” fender lines and a split-windshield that could be popped open for ventilation.

Buyers in 1947 could also opt for a more powerful straight-eight engine, but the six-cylinder version was valued for its reliability and lower operating costs.

Like many full-size sedans of its time, the Oldsmobile is all about comfort. Its long wheelbase, soft suspension and wide bench seats make it a practical family car. The spacious interior allows multiple passengers to ride comfortably, while the large trunk makes longer journeys more convenient with lots of space.

“It feels like you’re sitting on your couch. Originally the seats were cloth, but we put the leather/ vinyl in because we can take the grandkids – they want an ice cream, they can have one and we can just wipe it off later,” shared Bruce, highlighting the memories the couple have made with their family over the last 26 years.

For Stuckles, the appeal of the Oldsmobile goes beyond the enjoyment

of restoring a vintage car, his favourite part is the attention the classic sedan receives on the highway, where its sweeping postwar design and chrome details continue to stand out among modern vehicles.

Bruce shared that drivers often give them a thumbs up when out for a cruise. Nearly eight decades later, this Oldsmobile is still rolling, continuing its legacy of being a reliable family car.

Strained infrastructure and flooded streets

By Adan Shaikh

Camrose’s wastewater system is under strain after a wet start to summer that has pushed infrastructure close to capacity and led to localized flooding. The last two weeks of rain have left many residents questioning if the City’s water systems are equipped for heavy rainfall.

At the June 22 Regular Council meeting, City council received an update following heavy rainfall on June 21 and 22. The City reported increased flows placed pressure on the South Lift Station and brought the system near operating capacity. Crews worked tirelessly around the clock to monitor conditions and relieve pressure on the infrastructure, using vacuum trucks to remove water upstream of the lift station.

“As council is aware, we put out an alert last night asking residents to reduce their residential water that makes its way into our water system, because the heavy rains over the last few days have caused a significant increase in the flows within our wastewater system, seeing upwards of three times the amount of flow,” said Kris Johnson, general manager of infrastructure for City of Camrose. He shared that the drainage and pipes of the city have a great capacity, including storage ponds for heavy rain events, however, the rainfall event on June 21 and 22 surpassed the expectations.

“We were getting to a point yesterday where the storage ponds were getting close to full. We had about 18 inches of free board left in those ponds,” added Johnson.

The City’s water system is equipped with four pumps that can push 280 litres per second. “Total cubic metres that station can handle are 24,710 cubic metres in a 24-hour period. On June 21, we were at 24,641, which is 99.7 per cent of flow that can leave that station.

Those four pumps have not stopped pumping yet and will continue on,” explained Kelly Bunclark, manager of utilities.

Councillor David Francoeur questioned, “I am worried – that was three days of rain. What if we have five days, what is going to happen?” In response, Bunclark shared that the ponds would overflow in that situation since the infrastructure is already at capacity and the water would go into the creek. This is exactly what Camrosians saw in action during the following week, as the city experienced six straight days of rain, which led to the creek overflowing and several streets around the City flooded.

Residents were once again asked to reduce nonessential water use while staff monitored rainfall, wastewater flows and system capacity.

Since the start of June, Camrose has received more than 220

Ron Pilger, Camrose Booster Foam covers the surface of the Stoney Creek beneath a pedestrian bridge at Jubilee Park following the heavy rainfall. The foam forms when fast-moving water churns naturally occurring organic matter, such as decaying leaves, plant material and other compounds, creating bubbles that collect in calmer areas. It is often a temporary and natural result of heavy runoff after significant rainfall.

A few minutes after, the clouds unleashed peasized hail and rain that came down so hard it caused flooding on some local streets.

millimetres of rain according to Canada Weather stats. The sustained rainfall has saturated ground conditions and increased runoff into the wastewater system.

Stoney Creek has been overflowing with water.

The City has advised residents to stay away from all waterbodies, including the creek and Mirror Lake, where access restrictions

stayed in place for most of last week.

On June 29, foam was observed under the Jubilee Park bridge on Stoney Creek, which is a normal accumulation of run-off from around the city. The wet weather has also contributed to basement flooding in various areas around the community and a significantly increased demand for mosquito repellent, leaving

most local stores short on supply.

On Canada Day, two funnel clouds were reported near the south end of Camrose, but luckily did not touch down.

With more rain forecasted in the coming weeks, it is important that residents continue to limit non-essential water, during heavy rainfall events and help reduce pressure on the wastewater system.

She moved from Quebec to Delta, British Columbia, in 1965. Val attended elementary school in Sunshine Hills, Delta, and graduated high school in Ladner, Delta.

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.

Be Honest

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.

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 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.

Local leaders bring home the Golden Arches

By Nadine Leming

Family-owned McDonald’s franchisees Tony and Teresa Hoffmann were recently recognized with the prestigious 2026 Fred L. Turner Golden Arch Award at the McDonald’s Worldwide Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This award is the highest accolade given to the top one per cent of McDonald’s franchisees across 20 markets.

It recognizes local owners who put their people and customers first while cultivating unity in the community through honest guidance and welcoming practices.

This atmosphere at work has earned them outstanding employee retention and strong customer satisfaction across their restaurants where crew members feel McDonald’s is their favourite place to work. Tony mentioned, “That’s what it’s all about for us. Growing and developing people and we love it.”

The Hoffmann’s operate nine McDonald’s restaurants across Alberta, that includes their two stores here in Camrose.

They actively invest in the communities they operate in and are deeply devoted to uplifting the people and areas they serve.

They lead their teams with a people-first mindset that fosters a culture of

Camping Edition If by "camping", you mean my hotel room will face the woods, then yes, I am totally up for a camping trip!

Husband [packing for camping trip]: "I have the tent, lantern, stove, sleeping bags, cooler and first aid kit.

I think we're ready to go."

My wife: "How many throw pillows should I take?"

I've never gone inside an RV before because I'm afraid someone will drive me to a campsite.

Risks you take when going camping: 1. Severe weather 2. Wild animals 3. The person in the site next to you bringing an acoustic guitar Pre-marriage counselling should include putting up a tent together in the pouring rain.

Packing to take a baby camping for three days is roughly the same as packing up your entire home to move to a different continent.

There are two major tests in marriage: 1. Having kids 2. Parking the trailer "You should go camping," they said. "It'll be fun!" …as I wake up in my tent after three hours of sleep, 32 mosquito bites, a family of mice living in my backpack, severe back pain from lying on a rock all night and my air mattress floating out the tent door after last night's torrential rainstorm.

Camping in my 20s: "I feel like I'm one with nature.

I just can't imagine anything more rewarding."

Camping in my 50s: "Please let a snake bite me so I can go home!"

Should we take our toddler camping and be exhausted, or just stay at home and be exhausted but with plumbing?

Camping Tip: When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will keep the campsites on either side vacant.

There's a time and a place for camping. That time is never and that place is a hotel with indoor plumbing and room service.

Things I did not enjoy on our family camping trip: 1. Family 2. Camping

Honestly, what kind of mosquito is like, "Mmmm, yeah, let me bite his knuckle!"

Mosquitoes are like family – annoying, but they carry your blood.

I don't understand why mosquitoes come inside when they have the WHOLE OUTSIDE! I sure wish Noah had swatted those two mosquitoes.

People who hate bats – when was the last time you ate your bodyweight in mosquitoes in one night? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I wish we could crossbreed mosquitoes with lightning bugs. Then at least we could see them coming.

One thing the world can agree on: our common hatred for those annoying mosquitoes.

Too bad mosquitoes didn't suck fat instead of blood. Summer would be a diet plan!

It was a baby mosquito's first day to fly out from home. When it came back later that day, the father mosquito asked, "How as your journey?"

The baby mosquito replied, "It was great – everyone was clapping for me!"
