Strome Threshing Bee a step into the past

LESLIE CHOLOWSKY PHOTOS

The Strome and Area Threshing Bee on Saturday, Oct. 5 gave visitors a look at harvests of old. With a great crowd despite a cold wind, the demonstration of old, but running, machinery showed threshing, binding, plowing, and plenty of antique combines, tractors, and trucks. The working Sawyer-Massey steam engine was the star of the show, pulling an old fashioned Cockshutt plow. More Photos Pg 28.

Battle River - Crowfoot has full slate of candidates for upcoming election “We have a plan to ensure that Canada stands up for what’s right around the world,” Kurek stated. “We are going to respect provinces and make sure that projects in the national interest, like pipelines, are built.”

Damien Kurek

“I believe in the party’s principles of personal freedom, individual responsibility, fairness, and respect,” Michaud concluded. “I try to live by these principles and advocate them in my daily life.”

Geordie Nelson David Michaud

Conservative candidate Kurek appears to have the biggest boots to fill after being nominated to take over from outgoing MP for the riding Kevin Sorenson. Sorenson has held the riding firmly for over two decades.

Kurek worked for Sorenson when Sorenson was Minister of State (Finance) in Ottawa before taking over the MP’s constituency office in Camrose.

Previous to this, he worked at the Saskatchewan Legislature for then premier Brad Wall in research, policy, and communication portfolios. Also like his predecessor, Kurek was born and raised in the riding.

“Our region has been well represented over the last two decades by Kevin Sorenson, and I am honoured to succeed him as the Conservative Party candidate,” Kurek stated in a Sept. 12 release. “And with Kevin’s retirement the stakes have never been higher to make sure we send a strong representative to Ottawa.”

Kurek’s message included making life “more affordable by cutting taxes like the Carbon Tax and GST on home heating.”

He also said, “We are ready to bring accountability back to Ottawa and to ensure that government respects your tax dollars and spends within its means.

PPC candidate David Michaud comes from a military background, having spent two decades in the Communications Branch of the Canadian Armed Forces.

According to his website, he has served both in Canada and abroad and has seen “many of the atrocities that go on around the world.”

He and his wife have lived in Beaver County since November 2014, living on an acreage where he has fostered retired racing greyhounds.

“As a result of this and my background, I am not afraid of hard work, long hours, and sticking to a job until it is done,” stated Michaud. “As a father, grandfather and husband, I know the stresses put on ‘average’ Canadians.

“I believe Canadians are ready - and need - to embrace fresh ideas of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) and we deserve a higher level of integrity from our government officials.

rural communities in the Prairies connected to the land are essential for Canada's future.” As an artist, he designed the new logo for the local Battle River Watershed Association and does other volunteer work in the community.

President for Battle River-Crowfoot Chris MacKay, said midSeptember that there would be no candidate running under the Liberal banner in this election

Natasha Fryzuk

Dianne Clarke

The Green Party of Canada's candidate for Battle River-Crowfoot is newcomer Geordie Nelson, who lives and works in Camrose.

Nelson came from Ottawa as a teenager and lived with his military family in Wainwright.

He is a recent graduate of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science.

He has lived in Camrose for the past eight years and now works at the campus as the Conference Services Coordinator.

Nelson is motivated to become the Green Party candidate due to his deep concern “about the environmental crisis our world is facing,” states his bio on his website.

“He believes Canada can be a world leader in shaping a more sustainable future. He is passionate about combating food waste, protecting wild places, green technology, indigenous reconciliation, and building livable communities.”

He also states that “resilient

The Liberal Party of Canada candidate has been named as Dianne Clarke.

No biography, photo, or contact information is available for Ms. Clarke, despite the fact that her nomination was announced more than 10 days ago.

Naming a Liberal candidate came somewhat as a surprise after Liberal Riding Association

campaign.

The NDP Party of Canada has also named a candidate, Natasha Fryzuk.

Fryzuk is the communications coordinator for the Quarters Arts Society in Edmonton.

As with the Liberal Party candidate, no further information about or contact information has been put forward for Ms. Fryzuk.

2019 Federal Election Candidate Forums All candidates have been invited to appear at a candidate forum that was held Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose.

There was a candidate forum held in Drumheller on Thursday, Oct. 3, and another on Monday, Sept. 30, in Stettler. Both were also billed as “All Candidate Forums,” but only Damien Kurek, Geordie Nelson, and David Michaud responded to the invitations to speak in Drumheller. It was reported that there was no response from the other two candidates for the riding.

Advance Polls open Friday, Oct. 11, and run through to Oct. 14.

Daysland School Athletics gets boost from local contest winner

Leslie Cholowsky Editor

When Shaylyn Wolbeck posted her stunning photo of a sunset featuring St. Peter’s Church,

south of Strome, on social media, she was struck by how many people responded to the photo, complimenting the picture, but also indicating how revered and impor-

tant the church has been to many Flagstaff families.

She was moved to enter the photo, with its new story, in the Vision Credit Union’s “You

know you’re home when....” photo and story contest, with her story.

Wolbeck and one other entry actually ended up getting over 3,300 votes each in online voting during the contest, and the two were each awarded a Community Engagement Award in the contest, “for demonstrating outstanding community spirit.”

The prize came along with a $150 donation to a community organization of their choice.

Wolbeck decided to donate the cash prize to the Daysland School Athletic Fund.

Harvest inching closer to completion before another weather setback Ally Anderson Killam News

Howdy, my fellow Killamites. It was nice to see a decent weekend come in time for the farmers to spend many hours in the fields, trying to catch up from the terrible hand Mother Nature has handed to them so far this harvest.

Looks like a lot of you accomplished quite a bit over the weekend. One person I talked to said they only had six acres left before Monday night hit.

That was brutal! What started as a decent October day turned into something nasty. The wind picked up and brought the yuck with it.

We ended up with a fence covered in ice, but thankfully no snow...unlike our neighbours south of us.

We dodged another early wintery present.

Phew.

Were you able to make it out to the Killam Fire Department’s pancake breakfast? I hear there were a lot of you out there to support them, all while enjoying a delicious breakfast. I woke up rather ill that day, so we avoided spreading that around.

Flu season is upon us, and it has reared its ugly head in our household (and many, many households all over the county I hear.) Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming flu shot clinic dates and plan to go get one before you get sick.

I was snooping around on the internet, as one does when they’re bored, and ended up spiraling down a deep rabbit hole.

You know the rabbit hole, where you start by searching up something like a recipe, or an answer to a question, and end up a million miles into the depths of the web, watching cat videos and five hours have magically passed.

Although this time it wasn’t dog videos, like usual, but I ended up finding a page about common misconceptions that intrigued me. I love learning new things, and this taught me a few things

that I thought I knew, but was undoubtedly wrong about.

One of those common misconceptions is that the word “irregardless” is actually a word. What once drove me crazy to hear somebody say in a sentence is now listed as a word in many dictionaries. It is a non-standard word used in the english language, even though it is regarded as an awkward, poor choice where you can use regardless in its place.

My poor brain will have a hard time dealing with accepting this.

Another misconception was that Ancient Greek sculptures were always the ivory colour we see today.

In fact, they were actually painted vibrant colours, but only appear white today because the original colours and pigments have faded over time. Although, some statues still show faint

traces of their original colours.

That one was most fascinating to me. The art history nerd in me wants to know what they looked like in their prime. We think that they are pristine pieces of art now, just imagine how mind blowingly amazing they

looked in their prime!

If you see any of these lovely people this week, be sure to wish them a happy birthday: Charlie Child, Oct. 10; Dixie Rosaasen, Kelli Walline, and my wonderful mother-in-law Leslie Cholowsky, Oct. 11; Harper Cox, Oct. 14; Rick

Opinion

Looking at property crime through a different lens We have a property crime problem in Alberta. The question is: Should we continue to throw all of our resources at property crime, or should there be more efforts to stop it further up the chain?

When I was young, the drug of opportunity was alcohol, maybe with a little marijuana thrown in for certain groups. Without a doubt, both of those can lead to addictions; misuse can and does cause individuals and families great stress. But typically with those drugs addiction was a gradual thing. I never heard of a person taking their first drink and not being able to stop.

Today’s drugs, methamphetamines and opioids, are very different from that.

Experts say, “Opioids have a high potential for causing addiction in some people, even when medications are prescribed appropriately and taken as directed.” Taking opioids over a long period of time will create dependence, a physical state where a body will not function without opioid use without first going through extremely painful physical and psychological symptoms of withdrawal.

Methamphetamines are highly addictive because of the drug’s potent action on the brain’s chemicals, creating a euphoric rush. When the drug wears off, the brain is actually depleted of those same ‘feel good’ chemicals, meaning users don’t go back to normal when the high wears off... when they aren’t using, they are depressed and anxious, and needing more.

According to a 2018 report from the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, meth use was up almost 600 per cent from 2000 to 2017 “suggesting the availability of methamphetamine has been increasing in recent years.”

Our local RCMP are often reporting methamphetamine-related charges in the area these days.

Three teenagers in Strathmore were treated for opioid overdoses a couple of weeks ago, one of them dying on what

may have been their first try.

But talking about what drugs are out there, how addictive they are, and how they are becoming more prolific doesn’t have anything to do with property crime, does it?

An addicted person is very different from you or me. They no longer care about much except the next time they can take the drug. They can experience actual physical and/or mental pain and discomfort if they don’t.

Think about it; how do you train a dog? You reward them for one behaviour (the high) and you may punish them (making them anxious and uncomfortable) for another. A drug user is rewarded for getting high and punished for coming down off that high by their own brains and bodies. Often all they can think about is where the next dose is coming from; and when they are under the influence of the drug, their judgement is very skewed from yours or mine.

They don’t look at society through the same lens as the rest of us. You are a means to an end; you have something that person can take and sell to buy more drugs or you’re standing in the way of them getting more drugs by protecting your property.

It’s important to add that not all people addicted to drugs will commit crimes, but crime statistics say that among inmates charged with property crimes, over half reported being under the influence of drugs (not alcohol, not cannabis) at the time of the crime.

There is no disputing that we have a property crime problem, but perhaps it is a symptom of a bigger problem that also needs to be dealt with. A drug problem, rampant in our urban and rural areas.

We can continue to throw millions of dollars of resources at rural crime, but until we start to address drug prevention, drug use, and addiction, too, I’m not sure we will get anywhere.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH:

Twitter.com/ CPressTweet

With a Rebel yell, no more There is a rumour that has been going around about PM Trudeau this past week. It is some nasty hearsay about the reason he left West Point Grey Academy mid-year in 2001.

I question whether it is true, due to the fact that this election isn’t his first foray into politics and it makes me wonder why it was not uncovered four years ago, or more, when he was first attempting to become Prime Minister of Canada.

However, there is apparently a court injunction stopping the Globe and Mail from publishing the story. That too could, quite honestly, be a rumour.

That’s our world today, where separating information from misinformation is a difficult task for the general public.

The national media used to do that for us. Not anymore. Everyone has become tribal including most media. Journalists know what tribe they are joining when they begin working for a national media company.

One such group is Rebel Media. When I first got involved with social media, I came upon a couple of interviews they featured exposing people as hypocrites.

One such person was David Suzuki. The environmentalist apparently had up to five different homes he was heating and was very shifty when asked direct questions about his apparent hypocrisy. For a person preaching to society about their environmental flaws, these were legitimate questions.

It wasn’t long after, however, when I saw a Rebel video they had posted of PM Trudeau being interviewed in the US. It was early in his tenure as PM, and the short video made him look like a complete idiot saying “um” time and time again while failing to even properly know the topic of discussion. When I looked up the full interview on Youtube, however, I discovered that Rebel had cut the interview several times to purposely make Trudeau look stupid and unsure of himself. In reality he did fine during the interview.

I am still looking for a tribe which will abide by the code of journalism ethics and reports without fear or favour.

KERRY ANDERSON

LETTER Reader: ‘Identity Politics’ rebuttal Dear Editor; Please indulge me once more and allow me to comment on two aspects of last week’s Op. Ed piece by Mr. Kerry Anderson.

In it he roasted the Prime Minister for dressing in full Arab regalia including a painted face [brown or black] when he attended an invitational Aradian Night’s costume party.

In his somewhat vitriolic Op. Ed. Mr. Anderson leaves me to wonder if he would have preferred the PM to have gone to the same party, dressed as he was, dressed as an Arab, but with a white face, thereby perpetuating the long-held myth of white supremacy.

Also in his Op-Ed, Mr. Anderson

SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST FORM

made these three observations: viz. 1) The PM was in a “creepy, too-close” photo with Canada’s new lawn tennis champion, Bianca Andreescue; 2) The PM’s hands were on the upper chest of one of his female companions at the same Arabian Night’s costume party; and 3) the unproven allegations that the PM groped a female reporter.

The particular nature of these three observations leaves me to wonder what worries Mr. Anderson about Mr. Trudeau’s sexual proclivities, or is Mr. Anderson just plain jealous!

100 Women Who Care Flagstaff blast their membership goal Leslie Cholowsky Editor

From a group that started with three enthusiastic women and nine more willing to be local ambassadors, there are now a group of 132 women who care in Flagstaff, ready to donate their first $13,200 to one lucky cause operating in Flagstaff County.

Back in late June, Joanne McMahon of Galahad, Tanya Piche of Killam, and Holly Bovencamp of Lougheed decided the time to dream had ended, and the time to act had come.

They called a meeting, inviting one person from each of Flagstaff’s communities to pitch an idea.

“What if... we could gather 100 women, who would each

pledge $100 to help a local cause?

“What if we did that four times a year?

“What if you could be part of something that will contribute $40,000 back to our community in one year?”

The three watched how it was done in other communities, like Hanna, where their 100 Women Who Care in Hanna has 56 members.

They spoke to one enthusiastic member there, who said, “...when I come here, my $100 turns into $5,600.”

So the organizers went into the summer knowing that they may not reach 100 women, but they were okay with that.

The group had a great response right out of the gate, in two weeks they had 52

membership forms on the books.

As a tribute to an amazing woman who loved the entire Flagstaff Community, and who would have loved this idea, one membership was purchased in the memory of Val Vincett.

By Sept. 5, the group had 95 memberships!

Three days later, the 100 mark was shat-

tered, and the total was 102, then 118 11 days later.

Six days after that it hit 125, a full 25 per cent more than the group had dreamed of having, and by the close of day on the last day, the group reached 132 members.

Now the executive will randomly choose three final causes from the 16 applications re-

ceived, and on Oct. 15 in Alliance, the 132 members will vote on who will walk away with $13,200 to invest in their Flagstaff community, enough to make a significant impact.

Four times in one year will mean over $50,000 put back into the region.

Meetings are held four times a year, Octo-

Concert Series 2019/2020

ber, February, May, and August, members must contribute $100 per meeting. Teams may be formed, which equal one membership, and get one vote.

Meetings are about an hour long.

Three potential recipient groups or organizations will make oral presentations, then members will decide who gets the money.

Sedgewick school council to host fundraising auction after fire Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

My family was fortunate enough to be invited to two weddings this past Saturday and luckily, we were able to enjoy a little bit of both.

The first one was quite a bit different, as it was a brunch wedding. I thought it was very unique. That was also the only reason that we were able to attend both weddings on the same day.

Laken Simmons and Jonathan Tindall tied the knot in Forestburg in an outdoor ceremony by the beautiful Gazebo; part of the celebration was a train ride along the Battle River Railway. Looking back, I believe it was our very first train ride in Canada.

As I shared pictures, a German friend commented that traveling through Germany without a train would be unimaginable.

It’s one of our main modes of transportation. Yet here, in Canada, passenger trains are rare.

Anyway, the whole family had a blast and I would say, all other wedding guests did as well, but the kids did show their excitement the most. I’m not going to lie; I was pretty thrilled myself.

We learned that Forestburg has the only working caboose left in Alberta and we hope to be back to take in one of the famous Friends of the Battle River Railway excursions soon.

After the train ride we made our way to Lamont to take part in another beautiful reception and wedding dance. Each wedding had so many tiny details, you could tell a lot of planning went into them.

Being married myself, I know how time-consum-

ing it can be to plan a wedding and appreciate it more than ever before.

The wedding in Lamont was vintage, with lots of forestry elements. My friend always said she wanted to get married in a forest and indeed, she pulled it off.

Congratulations to both couples on an amazing day with lots of fun, laughter, and happiness that, hopefully, will last them a lifetime.

If you are looking for anything Halloween, look no further. All local second hand stores are ready to provide you with anything you might need; whether that’s costumes or decorations. Go check them out.

Also, I wanted to mention, The Good As New will be forwarding donated items of full size shampoo, conditioner, unopened bars of soap, unopened feminine supplies, and gently used ladies’ pyjamas and kids’ pyjamas to

the Camrose Women’s shelter.

The Sedgewick parents’ school council is trying to spread the word about an upcoming online auction.

Due to the fire at the school and the big magazine fundraiser not happening this year, as the company no longer exists, the school is in need of extra funds.

Bussing for sports and field trips is a huge expense and the school is extra short this year. The online auction will be from Oct. 22 to Oct. 29. If you have any items to donate, please contact Shelly Morken or Susan MacKinnon. Let’s hope people are generous and able to help our school reach their fundraising goals.

It’s a new year for 4-H and new members are always welcome. If you’d like to know which clubs are available in your town or area, please contact the District President Charlene Sutter; she will put you in

780-889-2113

Hi everyone, I hope you were all prepared for the storm on Monday night that the weatherman was predicting.

On Monday, the wind was very strong, but there seemed to have been no rain. I didn't know what we'd wake up to Tuesday morning.

To prepare for our unpredictable weather, I worked outside all day.

It was gorgeous out and I was able to get most of my outside work done.

Is everyone close to being ready? I could hear the farmers combining in the area around town, they got an early start this morning. I know most farmers are not done yet. The full moon will be soon, maybe then the weather will change for the better.

Thank goodness we didn't get any snow, just a very strong wind. It’s still going to be cold and windy, but at least there will be sunshine on Wednesday.

Over the weekend, Marcie Matthiessen ventured to Elk Point to visit with her son Jordan, her daughter-inlaw Roamie, and her little granddaughter to help the baby celebrate her first birthday.

Ron and Mary Walker spent a few days visiting with their son and family at Stoney Plain last week.

Don't forget to vote on Monday, Oct. 21. The polling stations are open at 7:30 a.m. and the

Heisler Seniors Centre will be Heisler’s place to cast our ballots.

Bowling also starts next week, see the ad elsewhere in the paper for times and dates.

Come and enjoy, everyone is welcome.

I hope you remembered the Friends of Battle River Rail Thanksgiving Turkey Bingo on Tuesday in Forestburg. I’ll give an update next week about the lucky winners.

Birthday greetings to:

Cal Brown, Oct. 7; Brayden Doege, Riley Hodi, Oct. 8; Mark Kroetsch, Patti Schulte, Oct. 9; Brett Wolbeck, Samantha Volk Oct. 10; Rudy Hodi, Oct. 11; Drew Wolbeck, Kate Klooster, Oct. 12; Brian Sunderman, Halle Weinkauf, Oct. 13.

Flagstaff ALUS committee considers three new projects Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Flagstaff County Councillor and Chairperson of the Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) Partnership Advisory Committee Howard Shield reported to Council on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Three new projects have been presented to the committee this year, with two approved and one pending a wetland approval from the province.

ALUS is a community based, farmer-delivered program that provides support to farms and ranches to enhance and maintain natural benefits.

ALUS pays farmers to retain and reconstruct natural areas such as wetlands, grasslands, riparian areas, and trees to rehabilitate life-support processes, such as water filtration and purification, nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration, and help to restore declining biodiversity.

Flagstaff County has provided the committee with an annual budget of $15,000 for projects that are shared 50 per cent with participants.

Project 1-19, from the north end of Flagstaff County, is from a landowner presently running a mixed farming operation. The land targeted for the project has been traditionally used as pasture land for cattle.

The landowner wants to improve the water quality of two wetlands on the quarter which are presently saline, installing a fence to keep cattle out of the area and promote growth of native vegetation, which should decrease the salinity of the water over a period of time.

The landowner is proposing fencing off two wetlands, to improve water quality and promote vegetation growth, affecting approximately 2.88 acres and 1.32 acres for each.

The amount of fencing required is roughly 2,800’ with an estimated cost of $2,787, with $1,393.50 applied for through ALUS Canada.

The committee approved the project scope and budget.

ALUS payments are provided annually over a period of time to ensure ongoing stewardship.

ALUS Canada also provides annual payments for the ongoing stewardship of the project, with the per-acre rates varying depending on the size and type of project, from $2 to $50 per acre available.

Flagstaff ALUS project 2-19 is also located in the northern part of the county, where the landowner would like to use a half section of land for fall and winter grazing. The landowner would like to install a perimeter fence as well as fence off wetlands on the property to sustainable graze the half-section.

The wetlands on the

property, four in all, would be fenced off, to improve water quality and promote vegetation growth.

The landowner also wants to install a winter watering site to the halfsection.

Additional projects could include tree and grass plantings.

An estimated cost breakdown of the project, including 2,491’ of fencing, is estimated at $9,900 total, with ALUS’s share at $4,950.

As the project fits within the established guidelines, the committee conditionally approved this project, with the landowners to provide appropriate permits and approvals for the proposed winter watering system, as necessary.

ALUS Project 3-19 for Flagstaff comes from a landowner in the southwest part of the county who operates a mixed

farming operation. A quarter section of land has been identified, historically pasture and hay land, which the producer wishes to fence off to keep his cattle out. The intention is to improve water quality and promote vegetation growth.

The project will require approximately 1,660’ of fence to cover the 2.48 acres of wetland, with a total project cost estimated at $1,600, eligible for $830 ALUS funding.

Flagstaff County had the opportunity to increase ALUS funding by $3,000 earlier this summer, but were able to finance all the project applicants from their original budget, and regretfully declined the opportunity for increased funding due to a lack of participants/projects.

In 2018, 742 farmers and ranchers participated in ALUS projects in total, with 213 of those

ects represent just a small portion of new participants in 2018, but would like to see more landowners come forward with new projects.

The Flagstaff ALUS program started in 2016.

Assistant Ag. Fieldman Brenda Martin is the ALUS-Flagstaff Program Coordinator.

Sedgewick moving forward with local internet Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Sedgewick Council has given a local super high speed internet project the go-ahead after listening to a proposal from Nutec Electro Tel and consulting with Viking CAO Don McLeod.

The service taps in to the existing SuperNet fibre optic line that serves all government offices and libraries in the province, purchasing bandwidth from BellAxia, who manages the SuperNet, and broadcasting and reselling the service to local residents.

Sedgewick CAO Jim Fedyk says that having high speed internet access is one of Council’s priorities, especially championed by Mayor Perry Robinson, with the rest of Council in full agreement.

Providing the service to residents requires the purchase of a tower, at a cost of around $12,000, and will generate a profit anywhere from $7 to $27 per client per month for the town.

Fedyk says the project is a partnership with NuTec Electro Tel, and that Sedgewick will be one of a few communi-

FEDERAL ELECTION

ties who will be partnering with the firm to provide the service.

Viking, notably, started offering a high speed internet service with up to 50 megabytes per second (mgps) download and upload speeds, with plans starting at just under $60 per month.

“We definitely want to offer fair prices,” Fedyk says, “but also reasonable usage limits.” The lowest price plan includes 250 gigabytes of data.

Presently, high speed internet clients in the region experience speeds that average from 6 to 11 mbps, with data limits from 0.5 to 150 gb.

Clients will pay an initial installation fee of $99, and plans from 250gb to 750gb will be available through the town.

“Viking waived the installation fee for the first few weeks,” Fedyk says.

“We may do the same.”

At present the town is waiting on delivery of the tower, and approvals.

They will be using local contractors to erect the tower, which will be located beside the Wild Rose Co-op Recreation Centre.

Fedyk says that similar to Viking, residents living just outside the town with line of sight to the tower should also be able to take advantage of the high-speed service.

He credits discussions through FIP about a regional broadband project in part for the project, as well as a recent meeting hosted in Viking between administrations outside of the immediate Flagstaff region.

“Information sharing is so important. Being able to offer a service like this, it shows the importance of elected officials working together.

“It’s why it’s so important that if we don’t keep FIP, that we continue to meet with other communities, especially elected officials,” Fedyk says.

He says Council chose to go this route partly due to the low infrastructure costs.

“Comparing this with the regional broadband, from our perspective, ultimately we are responsible to the 811 residents here in Sedgewick.”

Fedyk says it’s also great to develop a new revenue source for the town outside property taxes.

The town hopes to be

able to provide high speed internet to customers before the end of the year.

Wheat Kings undefeated over the weekend Emily Tanton Student Reporter

The Killam Wheat Kings played their first two home games over the weekend, coming away with two wins, moving them into the third-place spot in the league standings.

On Friday, Oct. 4, the Wheaties faced off against the Vermilion Tigers and managed to take the game by a staggering score of 9-3.

Saturday, Oct. 5, saw the Lloydminster Bandits in Killam where the Wheaties again took advantage of their home-ice and won 6-3.

Friday was a big game

for Killam’s Carter Burton, who, after scoring three goals, saw hats thrown on the ice for his first hat trick of the season. Brendan Erick also had a hand in the Wheat Kings win, scoring two goals.

Four goals for Killam were scored on the powerplay, despite the team sending many of their own players to the box on Friday, the powerplay was always ready to capitalize.

Brendan Davis, goalie for the Wheat Kings, stopped a total of 27 shots, letting only three get past him.

The following night the Wheat Kings were back at home and hungry for

another win as they gave Lloydminster a run for their money.

Derek Zimmer and Braydan Davis were the first scorers of the game, both scoring late in the first period for Killam.

Carter Ortman and Ashton Kelly both scored in the second, with Ortman scoring two in response to two goals scored by the Bandits.

The score was 5-2 going into the third period and with both teams scoring one the game ended with a score of 6-3.

The Wheat Kings’ new goalie Devin Naslund played the full 60 minutes on Saturday and stopped 32 out of 35 shots.

With a wide variety of scorers and assists throughout the Wheat Kings’ games, it appears that Head Coach Bob Charchun was right in predicting a “committee effort” would be needed for the Killam team to be successful.

The next home game will be Saturday, Oct. 12. where they will be facing off against Cold Lake.

Heirloom tomatoes and peppers in review

Patricia Hanbidge

As the summer growing season draws to a close, we have time to pause and ponder what transpired since spring.

It was again a different type of year with very little hot weather from May to August and what we can consider a true autumn in spite of the calendar telling us otherwise.

This year we grew a rather large amount of heirloom tomatoes and peppers.

In spite of a summer with few heat units, those who grew these tried and

true plants were given a bountiful harvest.

It will be a lot of salsa and other processing done over the next month as what was harvested ripens.

It is interesting that those gardeners who only grew hybrid tomatoes basically got no harvest but our tried and true open-pollinated varieties managed to produce quite well in spite of Mother Nature not cooperating.

We grew over 30 different varieties of tomatoes and peppers and kept notes on their speed of germination as well as

their rate of growth.

Needless to say, the harvest rates both in size and numbers have also been noted. However, without doubt the best part of this trial was the tasting.

The big winners for this year in all categories was Black Krim tomato for a bountiful and long harvest, amazing colour, and sweetness of taste. The overall favourite as the tastiest tomato.

Amish Paste produced a bountiful harvest of large red, elongated tomatoes. It also was nice for fresh eating with good flavour but due to

the size and the texture unbeatable for canning, salsa, and tomato sauces.

Thanks to the Amish in Wisconsin for this great tomato.

Peak of Perfection is an

old heirloom variety that produced an abundance of large, pink, blemish free, and meaty fruit.

Cherokee Purple is a beautiful purplish colour with green shoulders that

was originally grown by the Cherokee. It was a good and reliable producer and delicious to eat.

Getting ready for the upcoming federal election in Alliance Libby Whittall 780-888-5097

Alliance libbywhittall@gmail.com

It’s interesting to learn After church service this last Sunday, while we were enjoying lunch in the church basement together and discussing our upcoming Alliance Turkey Dinner, Betty Stoner turned and said to me, “It’s time to get all your windows washed.�

At first I wondered if she had driven by my house and seen how terribly dirty my windows were and was now commenting on my laziness.

Repeating herself, she added, “Before everything freezes and you can't wash them anymore.�

Ding! A light went on in my head and I repeated back to her, “I need to get my windows washed before they freeze.� “Yes,� she nodded back, “you should.�

I really shouldn’t have needed any convincing, as the windows were cov-

ered in fly poop from a summer of me leaving the doors wide open to the fresh, fragrant aroma of the flower gardens. Looking at the big job in the early morning sunbeams, I was tempted to hire a cleaner to do it while I closely watched to make sure every streak was polished away.

The prospect of finding, paying and overseeing someone else do the job seemed far more difficult than just doing the job myself, so I quickly got out everything I needed before the faint inspiration could flee.

After spraying on some foam window cleaner and giving the first window a wipe, I realized I needed a stronger cleaning solution.

So I mixed up a bowl of soapy water with a few big glugs of vinegar to cut through the gunk.

Now the job was fast and easy; getting in the groove, I wiped down my collection of coloured glass as I went. T h e amount of dead bugs I discovered was a good re-

minder that fall house cleaning is important before we close everything up tight for the long winter ahead of us.

Laura Towers picked me up on Thursday, taking me to the training in Killam to be an election returning officer.

Apparently they needed 700 people to work just for our own district of Battle River-Crowfoot, so, if you are interested in working for the next election, make sure you inquire.

It’s my first time and I’m doing it primarily because it is a life experience I have never had.

During the training we learned that almost everyone can vote if they have some form of identification. The list of what types of identification that can be used to prove your identity is extensive, as long as they are written in English or French. Even some online documents are acceptable.

Oct. 21 is election day.

Who are you going to vote for? I haven't decided yet.

It’s important to know

When I heard a promise of dental coverage being included in our Canadian health care within a year, my heart jumped. That is something that could really help uninsured citizens that seriously struggle with naturally unhealthy teeth.

I know there are complicated socio-economic issues facing our Canadian society today and many of those things will take years to remedy, but I think, with our extensive resource based economy, all Canadians should be

Flagstaff Intermunicipal Partnership considering deep changes Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Flagstaff Intermunicipal Partnership (FIP) committee met on Monday, Sept. 9, to discuss the future of the committee, and its present projects.

FIP was formed in 2003 with one elected official and one CAO from each of the then 11 municipalities within the region. Since Strome and Galahad have become hamlets of Flagstaff County, there are now nine member communities.

The FIP committee has no legislative power on its own, projects and initiatives are approved by the committee, with recommendations taken back to each member’s respective Council for approval.

One of the FIP member communities is selected to act as Managing Partner for the entire group, responsible for employing a FIP Clerk to maintain financial records, meeting agendas and minutes, and that project schedules are kept. The role has expanded over the years as FIP managed the Regional Development and Assessment appeal boards to include clerking each of those entities as well.

For the first decade, FIP operated without direct funding from the region. FIP Projects were entirely funded through grants. In 2013, FIP developed its own budget for the first time, approved by each member Council, with a requisition to each member.

Funds are used to pay the FIP clerk, and pay ongoing operating costs for long-term projects, as well as the costs of operating the Intermunicipal Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB), and the Intermunicipal Assessment Review Board (ARB).

Forestburg CAO Deb Moffat, who acted as the FIP clerk while Forestburg was the managing partner, estimated that she had spent 415 hours on FIP matters for 2018.

Projects other than the appeal boards are typically managed by a project member, who may also run funding for the project outside FIP, thereby ensuring that only participating project members are funding specific projects.

The Village of Forestburg has been acting as the FIP Managing Partner for a number of years, and served notice February 2019 to withdraw from that position, giving the committee six months notice.

Flagstaff County Council refused to approve the FIP 2019 budget earlier this year, then reversed its decision and approved the budget. This was followed by a decision in June from Flagstaff County to send the committee a notice of their intention to leave FIP serving six months notice.

Flagstaff County Reeve Don Kroetch said his Council questioned whether FIP’s current format allowed partners to be responsive enough to act on opportu-

nities that required quick decisions and action.

“It’s very important to be ready and able to respond to opportunities,” he said at the time.

Kroetch said his Council felt project-based partnerships would be more effective, as all parties would have a vested interest in the project’s success going forward.

“The FIP model doesn’t suit everyone’s needs as it should,” Kroetch says, “Although we’re not suggesting we know exactly what will work better.”

During FIP’s July meeting, Sedgewick Mayor Perry Robinson said he was open to having different options for FIP on the table.

As discussion continued, FIP Chair Bob Coutts, Deputy Mayor of Forestburg, said, “Without FIP, there is no group to plant seeds for potential group projects.”

As discussion ranged between member Councils and administration taking on project based management duties vs. needing a managing partner, it was brought up that some FIP projects were initially proposed out of CAO meetings.

The committee agreed to take the issue to the CAO’s late-summer meeting to see if a workable plan could be found.

During the CAO meeting, five potential options for FIP reorganization were put forward. These are: do nothing, and continue to look for a managing partner; or eliminate the FIP committee, splitting current project management and other responsibilities amongst member municipalities, with CAOs providing updates to the CAO group and for Council updates; or continue FIP with an informal structure, with quarterly meetings of elected officials to talk about potential projects and common issues, reporting back to their CAOs individually; or Elected Officials meetings with the Mayor/Reeve, with no set meeting frequency; or, to recreate FIP with only urban municipalities participating (minus Strome and Galahad as part of Flagstaff County).

When presented to FIP at the Sept. 9 meeting, Robinson proposed that of the five options offered, he felt that a blend of two were the best option, being: Eliminate the FIP committee and split responsibilities amongst the member municipalities, with CAOs reporting to the CAO group, as well as quarter meetings with elected officials.

The FIP committee passed his motion, and asked each member to take the matter before their respective Councils.

Flagstaff County Councillor Erik Skoberg asked his Council on Wednesday, Sept 25, to provide him with their response, advising as well that no community had come forward with an offer to take over as managing partner. “There is a feeling that if Flagstaff

County is out, FIP, as it is, is dead.

“I feel like it is testing the resiliency of the committee. Many are on board for individual projects led by different communities.”

“What do you think?” Skoberg asked, indicating that he would like direction from Council to take back to the committee.

In discussion, councillors came to a consensus that the options preferred by FIP, a blend of the second and third ideas, represented the best idea going forward.

The Village of Heisler sent a letter rescinding their earlier decision to withdraw from FIP, to move forward with a more informal structure for the group.

Each member municipality will bring back their Council’s preferences to the next FIP meeting and will make a decision going forward as to the future.

In other FIP news, a report on the Regional Governance Project will be brought to a Nov. 4 FIP regional forum, to include all members of each Council.

Hardisty CAO Sandy Otto announced that a $16,345 grant had been received from Enbridge towards the Safety Program project, whose members include all Flagstaff municipalities but the County and Daysland.

Hardisty will be the project manager going forward.

Amendments to the SDAB and ARB bylaws to take into account the disbandment of FIP were tabled.

The communities of Flagstaff County, Forestburg, and Lougheed are the only ones left in the Regional Broadband Project. The Town of Sedgewick recently indicated their intention to withdraw from the plan and to explore other high speed internet options for their residents, deciding instead to commit funding to the Community Resource Officer, which Flagstaff County had brought to FIP some months ago.

On Thursday, Aug. 22, Enbridge, Techmation, and F5 Services donated $16,345.66 to the Town of Hardisty to support a regional safety initiative. The funds came from the L3RP copper recycling program. From left to right are: Larry Smerechinski, Manager, MP Canada Execution, Enbridge; Peter Hansen, Community Engagement, Enbridge; Sandy Otto, CAO, Town of Hardisty; and Daryl Flynn, F5 Services.

United Church Starts “Bread for the Journey” Series James Cox Student Reporter

The Knox United Church started its “Bread for the Journey” series on Sept. 24.

The series alternates between Daysland and Killam United Churches, every Tuesday for five weeks.

Each week will consist of a special guest teaching those present how to prepare a traditional bread recipe.

Participants will be able to take part in the making of different and culturally significant variants of bread, and at the end will be able to take home a recipe and something to share with friends and family.

People are encouraged to join even if they have not attended previous evenings in the series.

The evenings are open to everyone and have no cost

or baking skill requirements, although donations are welcome.

The purpose of the series is to get to know the people in the community and the traditions that are meaningful to them. It is an opportunity for learning and making new connections.

The idea of the series came from a book of the same name by Lovella Schellenberg, which contains both recipes and meditations. It was also intentionally scheduled around Oct. 6, which was World Communion Sunday.

September’s event had people making Ukrainian paska with doves made from the extra dough.

The subsequent events will see the baking of bannock, lefse, and Danish Rye bread, as well as one other bread that has yet to be decided.

The second evening featured bannock, and was held

in Killam, the group travelled to Daysland Oct. 8 to try their hands at lefse.

There are still two nights left, and all are welcome to come and “break bread” and share their stories and experiences.

Contact the Killam Knox United Church for specific dates and places.

Faith Column

When you’re too weak to stand, kneel “I have been driven many times to my knees by an overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.” Abraham Lincoln Oh that we would experience this same urgency in our lives.

We need to be driven to our knees as well. We need to realize that God is totally interested in each and every situation in our lives.

God’s desire is to be consulted before any decision is made in our lives.

His desire is that He would be sought regarding any need we may have in our lives.

We must realize that He who has created us, has the greatest interest in every aspect of our lives, and so when we try to do things on our own, we are actually bringing

disgrace to Him and in essence telling Him that we don’t trust Him. Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”

In all your ways; What exactly does “All” mean?

All means exactly that.

It means that in every

situation, for every need, at every crossroad in our life if we “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, then all these things will be added unto you as well.”-Matthew 6:33 We need to come to the point where we are absolutely convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that He is our absolute and only source, and that the only way we will have our needs met is in and through Him. We need to be driven to our knees time and time again, and as we are, we will receive the strength and courage we need to go on.
