Flagstaff Council passes Environment Canada new bylaw enforcement Heat warnings out for officer motion next eight to 10 days Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Flagstaff County Council passed a Bylaw Enforcement Officer bylaw during its last regular meeting in June, which specifies the powers and duties of bylaw enforcement officers, and also establishes disciplinary procedures applicable to bylaw enforcement officers. Under the new bylaw, the County can appoint one or more Bylaw Enforcement Officers. After a third reading of the bylaw was unanimously approved, Council passed bylaw #05/24, repealing Bylaw 03/15. The bylaw outlines the powers and duties of appointed Bylaw Enforcement Officers. This inludes: preserving and maintaining the public peace; enforcing all bylaws within the county; conducting
routine patrols to ensure compliance with bylaws; reporting to and carrying out the directions of the Community Services Director and/or CAO; responding to and investigating complaints and alleged breaches of bylaws; issuing and serving orders, notces, tickest, summonses, subpoenas, and laying information as required; assisting in the prosecution of breaches of bylaws including gathering evidence, ensuring the attendance of witnesses, attending court, and providing evidence as required, carrying upon his or her person at all such times as he or she is acting as a bylaw endorsement officer evidence of his or her appointment to the role; and performing all such other duties as may from time to time be assigned. Flagstaff’s newest Peace Officer, Aaron Young, was also appointed as a Bylaw Enforcement Officer.

Environment Canada has issued a heat warning for all parts of the Flagstaff County region including the surrounding areas. In fact, the heat warning covers most of Alberta and even parts of BC and Saskatchewan. A “prolonged heat event” is expected to continue, as a large and slowmoving area of warm air from BC, with highs in the low- to mid-30s, which started on Tuesday, July 16, is expected to continue until at least Thursday, July 25, when The Weather Network is predicting that temperatures will fall to the high 20s. Predicted night-time lows will also start to increase, from 17 degress to a minimum of 21 degrees.
The length of the predicted heat wave is fairly unique, meteorologists say, and the biggest impacts of the heat will come from that. CTV Meteorologist Josh Klassen says he doesn’t expect that temperatures will go higher than 35 degrees, but still expects that the forecasted temperatures over the next week will either hit or exceed record temperatures for areas in the province. AESO hit just one grid alert during the last heat wave, on July 8 for a onehour period during the evening. That was also the day a couple of heat records were set around the province, in Lacombe and Rocky Mountain House. See inside for tips on how to beat the heat and stay safe during this extended heat wave.

Parents for Fun receives grant funding from BRCF
FREE PANCAKE BREAKFAST AT THE COMMUNITY HALL FROM 7 TO 10 A.M. SPONSORED BY THE HARDISTY COMPLEX GROUP BRCF Board Secretary Sharleen Chevraux (left) presents a cheque to Parents for Fun in Flagstaff Program Facilitator Jessica Docksteader, surrounded by just a few children who are regular visitors to the Family Resource Centre in Killam. The Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) awarded a $2,500 grant to the Parents for Fun in Flagstaff Society. BRCF Board Secretary Sharleen Chevraux presented the cheque to Program Facilitator Jessica Docksteader and her small friends. The Parents for Fun in Flagstaff - Family Resource Centre has become the Hub for Early Childhood and Youth in Flagstaff County. It provides the operations of the facility, programs, events, and partnership with 15+ other service providers for children 0-18 years. “Our Mission is simple: connection, support, referrals, developmental engagement, mental health, community connection, safe spaces to connect, groups to support parents in their parenting journey, and resources that all serve the families and children of Flagstaff County. We strive to continue to hit all these marks for the years to come,” says Docksteader. The grant is funded from income earned in the Battle River Training Hub Legacy Fund, Dave and Gail Stolee Literacy Fund, Lee and Gene Penman Fund, Flagstaff Creative Writers Fund, and the Foundation’s community funds. These types of funds allow the Foundation Board to match annual grant applicants with the interests’ donors wish to support. The BRCF exists to support organizations in east central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the BRCF are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995, the BRCF has granted over $9,045,300 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.

Locally planned solar farms in different phases of application process Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) is reporting the receipt of an application by PACE Canada LP for the Peter Lougheed Solar Farm planned for Lougheed. “The AUC will be considering the power plant development application in Proceeding 29082.” Anyone who feels they might be affected by the application can provide input to the AUC before a decision on the application is reached. Any such input is due by Aug. 1.” AUC has reviewed the application and has sent a list of information requests particular to the Lougheed application. The application and any associated documents are publicly available and can be accessed from the eFiling System on the AUC website www.auc.ab.ca. Another solar farm, planned for the Killam region, has passed the initial application process, and AUC is presently
in the process of arranging a public hearing to consider an application by PACE Canada Development LP for approval to construct and operate a 21.6 megawatt solar power plant, designated the Killam (Old Bear) Solar Farm, within the Town of Killam. AUC must hold a hearing if persons who have filed a statement of intent to participate in the application proceeding have demonstrated that they have rights that may be “directly and adversely affected” by the Commission’s decision. This is otherwise known as standing, which gives a person or group the right to participate in a hearing, including giving evidence, questioning witnesses, and providing argument. The Commission received Statements of Intent from the Town of Killam and four individuals, and has determined all the parties have standing. On July 5, the registered parties were asked if they prefer an in-person or virtual hearing. One of the parties granted
standing requested an in-person hearing on June 27, which the AUC says was premature, as it had not yet decided on whether an oral or written hearing would be held. The AUC has now decided to proceed with an oral hearing, and parties had until July 12 to file submissions on their
preference for either a virtual or in-person hearing, and the location of any inperson hearing. Solicitors for the Town of Killam provided notice July 12 that “The Town’s position is that a virtual hearing is preferred given it is more effective from both a costs and participation perspective.”
Temporary entrance detour at Hardisty Health Centre set to continue Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta Health Services (AHS) announced Thursday, July 11, that temporary changes to the front entrance of the facility will continue. Patients and visitors will continue to be unable to access the facility through the main entrance due to unforeseen delays in the flooring renovation project at the site, AHS says. Access will continue to be gained
through the EMS garage now until midAugust, as additional renovation work is carried out. AHS says there continues to be no impact to delivery of services or programs at the Hardisty Health Centre, with the Hardisty Medical Clinic also continuing to operate as usual. “Alberta Health Services thanks the community, patients and our care teams for their patience and understanding during this time.”

OPINION
Five ways to practice kindness at work Mindfulness is a hot trend in organizational effectiveness, with employee programs popping up in innovators like Google and stalwarts like General Mills. The demonstrated benefits of mindfulness practices, such as meditation, are mounting. As good and important as mindfulness is (I am both a practitioner and an advocate), it is essentially an internal and self-focused activity. Work, on the other hand, is a team sport. For this reason, I am introducing you to kindness, the natural external complement to mindfulness in the workplace. Why is kindness important at work? Most of us spend the better part of our waking lives at work, locked with colleagues in the pursuit of common goals. We know what happens at work significantly affects how we feel. If we feel respected and appreciated, we glow. If we feel marginalized and unappreciated, a dark cloud can settle. We can often trace feelings of marginalization back to experiences with a boss or coworker who treated us unkindly. Examples of such unkindness include being overlooked, excluded from decision-making, having our opinions disregarded, facing unfair criticism, or having work taken away. These actions wound us and cause us to withdraw emotionally and physically. We are all fragile creatures by nature, and I do not believe any of us intentionally wants to wound another. By being kind, we give those around us hope and inspiration. We give the gift we wish others would give us – respect, appreciation, acceptance, and friendship. Reflecting on and anticipating the impact of our words and actions can cause us to pause and apply kindness more often. So why is it hard to be kind at work? For some reason, work seems to bring out the worst in us. It is competitive: we are competing for opportunities and scarce resources. It is political: we are jockeying for position. It is tedious: we are endlessly explaining and re-explaining, doing and redoing. It is a lot of pressure: we are striving to live up to expectations and fulfill our potential. These factors, combined, escalate our stress and strain our personal resources. As a result, we do not always bring our best selves to work. And so, instead of lifting each other up, we end up beating each other down. In the same way that the benefits of mindfulness are only realized through regular, committed practice, the rewards of kindness are also only realized through intentional and regular practice. Here are five ways you can practice kindness at work: 1. Talk to everyone as if they were your customer. Customers get special treatment. How you deal with a customer is a practical lesson in being kind to your colleagues. Before you engage in a conversation or an action, ask yourself how you would respond if that person were your customer. 2. Assume positive intent. As easy as it is to assume others are malicious or incompetent, resist the urge to jump to that conclusion. Instead, operate with the mindset that everyone is striving to do their best. This will shift how you see a colleague and how you respond to a situation. 3. Follow through. In other words, do what you said you were going to do. When you commit, others are depending upon you to deliver. When you don’t, you put others at risk of failing to deliver on their promises. So before you say ‘yes,’ be kind to others and ask yourself whether you can be counted on to follow through. 4 Clean up your own mess. When you make a mistake, own it. Finding someone else to blame is committing an act of unkindness. As tempting as it is to shrug off responsibility, when you stand up and say, ‘It was my fault, and I’m going to fix it,’ you are being kind to everyone around you. You lead by example, and others will respect you for it. 5. Clean up other people’s mess. Being of service to others is the ultimate act of kindness. While mouthing ‘I told you so’ may give you a moment’s satisfaction, helping someone out of a jam will stay with you forever. Kindness is an act of self-regulation, an opportunity to put your mindfulness practice to work, at work. - © Troy Media Rebecca Schalm, PhD

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader disappointed by grad gowns Dear Graduates, It is always good to see the grad pictures in the Community Press every year. The usual order is; Daysland Grad, then Forestburg Grad, then Sedgewick School. This is a highlight for the Community Press and for the community. The photos are plentiful and help us to experience the occasion. Over the years, it’s been very disappointing to see the gowns that the young ladies wear, however. We just finished a photo session at church for the pictorial, and one piece of advice was to wear long sleeves to re-direct the attention to your face. What do we see when we look at your picture, young ladies? We see your bosom, your arms. Is that how you want to be remembered? These pictures will be on display at your school for years. Modesty is concealing what should not be revealed. It seems like no one is allowed to say anything, not your parents, your pastor, your teachers. You deserve to know when you are doing something wrong. The way you dress says a lot about your character. I have to say that the young men graduating looked stunning, modest, and comfortable in the pictures. Mothers, if you refuse to buy that style of dress, the fashion industry would change. You could challenge the ‘graduate’ to make her own gown, how cool would that be? Sincerely, Lorraine Badry
Do no harm: A way of thinking Dear Editor, We are troubled, greatly, by the extent and depth of vitriol sprayed by so many on so many within our community and beyond. It is in our newspapers, on our news channels and on our streets. Why is that? We sense a deep seated fear within people of the people around them who are different… different in philosophy, class status, skin tone, heritage, gender identity, sexual orientation and more. We see a dramatic divide between people and the nature within which we all live. We are born inquisitive, trusting, accepting, actively learning humans. We, each and all, benefit from holding on to the respectful human within us. As respectful humans, we each consider the consequences, that is the potential of harm, from our decisions and their resulting actions, prior to making our decisions. This is a way of thinking: do no harm: Accept and enjoy the differences that all humans individually and collectively bring to our communities. Fearlessly seek knowledge. Apply our critical thinking skills to understand. There is strength in understanding. Be accountable for our decisions and actions.

Holden Rural Academy looking to expand range into Flagstaff Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Holden Academy is a newer charter school, created after the Battle River School Division made the decision to close Holden School, back in 2020. One of the biggest differences between Holden Academy and regular junior and high schools is the practice of placebased education. “Place-Based Education is a philosophy that recognizes students’ strong connections to their communities, and capitalizes on local community places and resources to provide an effective context for learning. It is grounded in real-world experience giving students opportunity to apply their learning to the real world.” Holden Academy recently advertised that it would consider running a bus to the Killam or Daysland areas if enough students enrolled. It says, “Holden Rural Academy is considering adding another bus route! There have been requests for busing from Killam and Daysland. HRA is especially suited to rural students. “We have a four-day school week, which reduces overall bus ride time and gives students the option of working full days on Fridays, either at their job or at their family farm/business.” Holden Academy Principal and Athletic Director Brent Anderson says, “We’ve had a few families [from the Flagstaff area] reach out to our school, however, not enough where it would be feasible to change one of our present bus routes to accomodate.” He says the closest bus t o Flagstaff County starts in Viking, then travels down Highway 26 until it hits 855 then heads north. “This is the bus that picks up some Flagstaff kids already. “Many of the families who have reached out presently homeschool their kids and are looking for a different option to
have their children return back to in-person learning,” Anderson added. Anderson says Holden Academy is different. “For both Junior and Senior High, our students complete their core classes in the mornings. “In Junior High, the students participate in option classes all afternoon with situations where we have them also take part in place-based educational opportunities at that time. “For the most part the Senior High students in Grade 11 and 12 are off to work experience, and/or RAP sites in the afternoon. “Those that drive we work to find them Work Experience and RAP sites in their local home area as they can get to work themselves.” Anderson says that at present the Academy has one Work Experience bus that picks students up at lunch and takes them to work sites. “There has been talk about adding a second Work Experience bus to transport students to work sites in Vegreville and Mundare.” Anderson says that Holden’s Grade 10 students need to complete both Physical Education and CALM to graduate so those are offered in the first quarter. “Once students in Grade 10 finish those required courses, we then
that have been approved by Alberta Education, such as Forensics.” In its first year of operation, the Holden Academy had 58 students, with three graduates; last year there were 92 students and nine graduates. Anderson says that increase in enrollment is one of the Academy’s biggest successes since startup, as well as “The enjoyment of students that maybe aren't thrilled with a normal school day. “This school would've been perfect for my brother who was never motivated during core classes but thrived in trades and working with his hands. “It allows students to complete their core
find job sites for those students also.” He says that even if Flagstaff students find their way to school, there aren’t plans for a bus to travel back to Flagstaff area at lunch for work site students at present, so the Academy would find work sites in an area of their interest in the Holden area and then bring them back to transport on the bus home at the end of the day.” Anderson says, “Some High School students are still wanting a more traditional learning experience so they are at the school all day where they take courses in the afternoon also. “These are courses within the CTS strands or locally developed courses

classes and then still gives them time to get to work ex and RAP sites.” Anderson explains, “The main goal is to show many students that they can find a lifelong career in their local community rather than have to move to a larger centre. “It also lets kids deter-
mine whether they like something or not earlier in life. They may try construction and find that they don't enjoy it as much as they thought they would so switch to something else whether that be in Ag or possibly another trade or work opportunity.”

Legion in Daysland actively seeking new members Celeste Ewan Daysland & Area E. daysland.ab.news@gmail.com
Daysland kept the barbeques hot last Tuesday despite the hot, hot weather we were all dealing with, the Tuesday night barbeque was still a success. Unfortunately the base-
ball game was cancelled, well forfeited, to which I can assume due to the heat. You won't catch me running around in 30+ degree weather. The showers were much welcomed later on in the week, but not so much the hail, my poor sunflowers really took a beating. Daysland Library has a great opportunity for
your teen over the next bit. They are offering evenings in which they help kids practice and study for their learners, what a very productive summer activity. The Legion is actively seeking members and asking you to help support your community, speak with one of their members today to see if it’s a fit for you.
Three more charged with copper wire theft including Galahad resident as Consort/Coronation RCMP crack down As the result of an ongoing investigation into copper wire thefts affecting Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure, Consort and Coronation RCMP developed a strategic plan with local industry to locate suspects on oil sites stealing copper wire. On July 10 at 4:30 a.m. as a result of this partner-
ship, officers were able to locate three suspects at an oil site in the process of stealing copper wire. The suspects were taken into custody without incident. A prohibited device (taser) and a significant quantity of narcotics were later discovered in their vehicle.
As a result of the investigation Consort RCMP have arrested three individuals: Jonathan Daniel Scheffelmaier, a 43-year-old resident of Redwater, has been charge with the following offences: Break and Enter into a Business; Possession of Break and Continued on Page 24

Lougheed’s Iron Creek Museum a step into the past Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Iron Creek Museum is open for the summer, weekdays from 9 to noon, then 1 to 4 p.m. and they serve ice cream every afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 from Tuesday to Saturday. The Museum grounds offer a looking glass into the past, with a solicitor and insurance office, a shoe repair store, a homesteader cabin, a church, two country schools, one actually set up as the old school room would have been and the other displaying common homesteading artifacts, and the original Log cabin that started out as the Sons of Norway meeting hall. All the buildings are decorated with authentic artifacts
that tell the tale of early life in the region. Visitors can wander freely through the buildings, enjoying the well preserved artifacts and buildings from the past, whether from the village of Lougheed or somewhere in the immediate area. On a hot summer afternoon one can also purchase an ice cream cone. In a week or so the chickens will return to the museum to their coop, an attraction that’s always popular with children and adults. The Museum Society is also hard at work setting up a new display out at the elevator, opposite the museum grounds on Highway 13 through the village.
‘Night at the Museum’ offers a unique experience for those who dare
If you’re up for an adventure, the Iron Creek Museum in Lougheed has an offer for you. The Museum has an overnight bed and breakfast deal available for a one-night stay in its Homesteader’s Shack, shown here, with a comfy bed and breakfast delivery the next morning. Call the museum for more details.

During heat wave we could all use a little TLC Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Both Environment Canada and The Weather Network are forecasting high temperatures through to the middle of next week, in the 29-to 33-degree Celsius range for most of Flagstaff County. That means if you’re planning to head outside, use common sense and take precautions to prevent heat stroke. Wear protective clothing, like a hat, protect your eyes with sunglasses, wear sunscreen to protect against burns, and stay hydrated. Limiting exercise for the cooler mornings and evenings is a good idea, for people as well as for pets. DO NOT leave seniors, children, or pets in a car for any length of time during a heat wave. If it’s 30 degrees outside, it takes less than five minutes for the temperature inside your vehicle to rise five degrees. Within 10 minutes, the inside of your vehicle would be over 40 degrees Celsius, or over 104 Fahrenheit. Heat Stress With outdoor temperatures at the present level, anyone can experience heat stress. The health risks are greatest for those over the age of 65, infants and young children, people with chronic illness such as breathing or heart problems, those who work or exercise in the heat, and those who are overweight. Heat illnesses are preventable. During Heat Waves: Drink fluids, especially water, before you feel thirsty. Slow down! Your body can't function as well in high temperatures. Cool down in cool stores, a public library, or community pool. Shade heads and faces with a loosefitting ventilated hat or umbrella when outdoors. Dress appropriately in lightweight, light-coloured, and loose-fitting clothing.
Avoid getting sunburned. It decreases the body's ability to cool. Remember to check on elderly family members, neighbours, and friends to make sure they are comfortable and safe, especially in prolonged heat waves such as is forecast. Common symptoms and treatment of hot weather illnesses: Heat Exhaustion Symptoms include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, muscle cramps, cold and clammy skin, low blood pressure, disorientation, and possible vomiting. These are caused by excessive loss of water and salt. Treatment: Move patient to cool area to rest, provide salty water, and cover person if shivering. The person should rest in bed until recovered. Seek medical attention immediately. Heat Stroke Symptoms include a core body temperature greater than 40 degrees celsius, complete or partial loss of consciousness, reduced cognitive function and cessation of sweating (hot and dry skin), dilated pupils, and elevated blood pressure. Skin may be flushed at first, later ashen or purplish. Treatment: Heat stroke is very serious. Call 911 immediately and while waiting for the ambulance, move the person to a cool place and sponge body with cool water while letting the water evaporate to reduce body temperature. Sun Safety for Children Your child can sunburn in as little as 15 minutes. During a heat wave, limit outdoor activity to cooler morning and evening hours and never let infants or young children play or sleep in the sun in a playpen, stroller, or carriage. If out in the sun, limit their exposure time as much as possible and apply sunscreen with an SPF 40 or higher. Pay particular attention to the areas that are most exposed, such as the face, lips,
Waterproof sunscreen is recommended for children, with at least SPF 40. Even so, plan to reapply sunscreen frequently. ears, neck, shoulders, back, knees, and the tops of their feet. Apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply every two hours or more frequently if your child has been involved in vigorous activity that could potentially remove the product, such as swimming, toweling or excessive sweating. Don't forget to put a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses on your child. When deciding on sunglasses, look for a label that says ANSI or CSA approved for sun protection and that are labeled as “UVA and UVB blocking,” “100 per cent UVR protection” or “UV 400.” They will provide almost complete protection against eye damage from the sun. Dress children in tight woven, lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing, preferably in cotton to absorb sweat. Give small amounts of water frequently. Pet and Animal care Insuring our pets have plenty of water to drink, and a shady place to rest is just common sense. Also, before you decide it’s time for a walk with your pet, consider how hot the pavement or asphalt is on your pet’s bare paw pads. If you must exercise your pet on a hot day, stay off the concrete or asphalt and walk on the grass. On a hot day, the con-
crete or pavement can reach temperatures of over 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Asphalt is worse, and can reach 125 degrees when it’s just 25C/77F. At that temperature on the pavement, skin destruction on your pet’s paws can occur in under a minute. You may not really be able to fry an egg on the sidewalk, but you can definitely cause your pet a lot of unnecessary pain. When the temperatures stay high over a period of time it can also be tough on the flora and fauna in our own local environment. Prolonged periods of heat can cause stress to our feathered and winged friends in the garden, from the birds to the bees. Foraging bees can use shallow trays of water with pebbles inside to land on safely. Birds don’t sweat, like humans do, they pant to keep cool, but as you can imagine, if you’ve seen your dog pant, they actually lose water in the process. You may see birds sit and fan themselves using their wings, as well. That’s another instance where it’s good to provide our feathered friends with fresh water on a daily basis, shallow enough (one to two inches) for a bird to sit in and either have a drink or a quick splash to cool off. Look after yourself and each other, and enjoy the next few days of warmth.

New disc golf course in Killam opens for play Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Town of Killam’s new disc golf course is up and running, and exceeding all expectations. The Town has already sold out of disc sets, selling 76 in the first few weeks the course has been operational, with new supplies expected this week. The course is centred around the Centennial Park ball diamonds and campground, and includes some tricky shots, avoiding the slough and the trees. Disc golf generally requires the use of at least three different discs. The sets being sold by the town include all three. Each player must have their own discs to play a hole. There’s a ‘fairway driver’ which is used off the tee box, for long-range throws. These discs are easier to control and travel slightly slower than mid-range drivers. From the initial toss, the next disc used is the mid-range driver. Experts call this the “most versatile” disc, as it is used for the majority of the course. Finally, there’s a putter disc.
These are slow-flying short-distance discs, the easiest to control and most accurate. They need to be, because that’s what is used to hit the ‘hole’ or in the case of disc golf in Killam, the basket. As players’ skills improve, and they try more challenging courses, they can add additional specialty fairway and mid-range discs to their bags, just like regular golf. Like ordinary golf, disc golf courses have a prescribed number of throws that it should take you to get in the basket, called par. The Killam course has six baskets, ranging from par threes to fours. There are also adult and junior tee boxes, with the junior tees (red) slightly closer to the baskets. Also similar to regular golf, disc golf has etiquette, rules that should be followed by all for civilized and fun play. The player who ‘wins’ the hole, ie the one who hits the basket in the least amount of throws, tees off first on the next basket. After everyone in the party has taken their tee shot, the initial toss, the person with the shortest
tee shot, or the furthest away from the basket, will take the next shot first. That continues as play nears the basket, with the farthest disc always tossing the next shot, even if it is the same person. Shots that are unplayable, or that travel out of bounds, or are lost, mean a penalty throw, which adds one stroke the player’s score. If there is a group of players ahead, safety and courtesy considerations mean that the group behind must hold until the players ahead are safely out of disc range. Extremely slow players, especially those just learning, can invite a group behind them to go ahead. The player with the least number of strokes at the end of the game wins. The Town has already had a birdie reported on hole six, which is a par three. A birdie means a player finished the hole in one less shot than par, which means it was finished in two shots! The Town of Killam is encouraging any and all players to share photos and their experiences on the course with the town.
Killam’s new disc golf course is ready to play. Centred around the Centennial Park ball diamonds and campground, players have the option of using the white tees or the red tees, when playing the sixbasket course. Discs are available through the Town and include a three-disc starter kit.

Alberta Transportation looking at widening Highway 13 from Bawlf to Daysland Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta’s 2024 Provincial Construction Program for the Constituency of Camrose shows a number of projects in the design phase, with one in the planning/engineering phase, and one in the construction phase. In constructed is miscellaneous bridge work on Highway 53 near Donalda, to replace the bridge rail, do concrete repairs, and other work. In the planning an engineering phase is a Highway 13 widening project that will finally see the highway between Secondary Highway 854 intersection and Secondary Highway 855 intersection widened from the current 8.5 metre width to current standards of 13.5 metre width. The Office of the Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors
confirms, “The project is currently in the planning phase, with detailed design to follow.” Already in the design phase is a cattlepass, 4km west of Camrose on Highway 13, work on the roundabout at Highway’s 13 and 56, about 20km of repaving on Highway 53 between secondary Highways 861 and 608, 22km of paving on Highway 56 between Highway 53 and 2km south of secondary Highway 609; 12 km of repaving between Highway 21 and the Village of Edberg, some grade widening on Secondary Highway 834, between 3km of Secondary Highway 626 and Highway 16. Also in the design phase is access control on Secondary Highway 834 to relocate access and construct a service road at Pioneer Legacy Junction, and slide repairs on Secondary Highway 854 due to Battle River and erosion.

BRBL and Powerline playoffs both down to four teams Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Czar Outlaws cut the Killam Braves playoff run off with a win last Wednesday. The Braves lost the deciding game 8-7 at Shorncliffe Lake. Czar held a 5-0 lead into the fifth inning before the Braves rallied and led 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh. With none out, Czar tied the game on a wild throw to home and then with the defence all playing in to try to cut off the winning run on third base, hit a deep fly to left field to win the game and series. In other BRBL action, Macklin took its series against Castor, winning that series in two, with a 9-3 final. Second round matchups will see Veteran at Provost, and Macklin at Czar in the semi-finals. This will be Veteran’s first chance to play, after
getting a bye to the next level when Viking forfeited. The semis schedule had not been formally announced at press time, check the Battle River Baseball League on social media for game times over the next few days. In the Powerline Baseball League, playoffs started Tuesday, July 16, with the Rivals taking on the Vegreville Blue Jays in Vegreville, and the Rosalind Athletics hosting the Armena Royals. Game two in both series will go Thursday, July 18, with Rosalind travelling to Armena, and the Rivals hosting Vegreville at the Daysland Recreation Grounds, with a 7 p.m. start on all games. If necessary, game three of both series is scheduled for Tuesday, July 3, back in Vegreville for the Rivals and back at home for the Athletics.

Province introducing screening tools for K through Grade 5 students on foundational literacy and numeracy Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Province announced last Thursday, July 11, that a phased in K through Grade 5 assessment process will start in 2024. Students “will be assessed on their foundational literacy and numeracy skills. “Beginning fall 2024, teachers and educational staff will be able to identify areas where students may need an extra hand earlier on in a student’s education journey.” The Province says that under the new requirements, beginning in fall 2024, students in Grades 1 to 3 will be assessed twice a year, and students receiving extra support will be assessed a third time in June to monitor their progress. “In January 2025, an early literacy and numeracy screening will be introduced for kindergarten students, and in September 2026, there will be new screening requirements for students in Grades 4 and 5.” Alberta Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says, “Supporting our youngest learners as they develop essential literacy and numeracy skills is fundamental for their success in school and life. These skills are the foundation for living, working and succeeding in our modern world. These additional assessments will tell teachers, schools, and parents about potential learning issues and better position them to support students.” Dr. George K. Georgiou, Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Alberta, says, “Research studies around the world have clearly shown that there should be early screening and frequent monitoring of children’s reading and mathematics performance. Alberta’s new framework for Early Learning Assessments is perfectly in line with this research. Early screening and monitoring of children’s literacy and numeracy skills is a human
right, and I am happy to see Alberta’s government prioritize this.” The Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) says the “massive expansion of provincial testing fails the grade.” “Students need more supports, not more tests,” according to ATA President Jason Schilling. He adds, “The time and energy required by teachers to administer tests takes away from time teachers could actually be helping kids. “While the government claims to have listened to experts, it’s clear they did not hear what actual teachers had to say. “Politicians and bureaucrats who have little knowledge and experience of the realities of Alberta’s classrooms might think this is a great idea, but teachers, who will end up spending hours ad-
ministering tests and preparing students for them in September, January, and June, do not. “All this is being foisted on the same teachers who are still trying to implement new curriculum across multiple grades and subject areas.” The ATA says, “The province needs to stop the distractions and deal with the real issue in public education - the gross lack of appropriate funding.” Schilling adds, “Alberta spends the least per student on public education in Canada. That’s why we have large and growing class sizes, inadequate supports for students with special needs, shortages of aides and substitutes, and good teachers leaving the profession. Alberta is not going to test its way out of underfunding. “It’s time our provincial leaders got their priorities right.”

A number of anniversaries celebrated in Alliance Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. petendia@gmail.com
This has been a week of contrasts as far as the weather is concerned, from record-breaking heat to the furnace kicking in, and the odd rain shower in the mix.
Sheila and Alvin Miller have been doing some celebrating. Alvin turned 85, and they marked their 60th wedding anniversary with a party in the Community Hall. They had a good turnout with family and friends. There was an opportunity to get photos of many of the guests. Cousins are such good
company, lots of cousins joined in a “Cousin’s Photo.” It seems that July was more popular than June for weddings in this farming community. Others celebrating anniversaries in July are Charlene (Thomas) and Trevor Zacharias, Pam and Shane Fuller (Daryl and Patty’s son), Phyllis
Making hay while the sun was shining
and Dale Lambden, Allen and Tracy Zieffle, Ron and Donna Towers, Les and Stephanie Wold, Ben and Ashley Mandel, Kirk and Kendra McPhersons, Glen and Sherry Bullee, Wayne and Jacqui Cameron, and Jake and Carmen Frank. May you all have a happy anniversary and many more. Desiree and Alex Whittaker will celebrate their wedding with a celebration in Calgary in October. Jim and Carmen Nichols watched daughter Jessie play baseball with the U15C Sedgewick Steelers Ladies, they were in Blackfalds. They were in the finals. Dennis and Laurie Fuller were watching sports this past weekend. Their granddaughter was playing. New sidewalks have made an appearance in
several places in town, notably by the Credit Union and Library. It was just the broken ones that got replaced. Jo McKenzie was off to Bawlf or Botha (I get them mixed up all the time) to a Treaty 6 Land sharing seminar. It sounds very interesting. It started in Saskatchewan, coming out of the shooting incident when two indigenous men were shot by a scared farmer. The concept behind the land sharing is an agreement among members to allow access to land for ceremonial purpose or gathering of herbs and medicines, and other traditional practices. The rummage sale is on this week. We have been busy sorting and displaying all week. The basement is cool, the deals are hot. We have clothes, household stuff, some power tools,
dressers, and etc. It starts on Thursday, July 18, in the United Church Basement. Meat raffle tickets are selling well. The draw is Wednesday, Sept. 18, at the Alliance Farmer’s Market. The next Farmer’s Market will be in August, the third Wednesday, Aug. 21, and it will also have the Bench Fair. Get your entries ready. Dogs and pups are looking for homes. Call Dan Reister and Ron McKinney. They will all be big dogs, good companions, and good watch dogs. I have often said that if I don’t get some news from you, the readers, I will put in that the cat had kittens. Well that is close, the neighbour’s dog had pups. Get me some more news. I know I can find some on Facebook, but I would rather hear it from you.
A local farmer was making hay this past week as temperatures rose above 30C. KARI JANZEN PHOTO

Copper wire thefts directly impact Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure and has a large economic impact on all Canadians. The cost of replacing stolen copper wire is passed on to the consumers and in some cases the companies terminate their employees in the areas where the wire was stolen instead of replacing it. Copper wire theft has to be treated as a serious offence in Canada. Theft of copper wire poses a danger not only to those committing the offence but also to the public, necessitating police intervention.
