Fun-filled start to Seniors Week Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Flagstaff County hosted its annual Seniors Conference during Seniors Week, on Thursday, June 6, at Providence Place in Daysland. Around 96 area seniors registered for the event, which was free, and included lunch.

Ken Eshpeter acted as the event’s master of ceremonies, with lots of stories, songs, and even some poetry. Participants were treated to presentations from HOM of Wellbeing’s Shirley Damberger, and Seniors’ Choices Holly Bovencamp, before enjoying a musical interlude featuring 2023 Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion Ethan Harty.

After a lunch prepared and served by Providence Place, guests of the conference enjoyed some seniors aerobics courtesy Sharon Moser. Keynote speaker Amanda Wagner talked to the participants about deciding what they wanted to leave as their legacy, also celebrating aging through personal stories of her own parents and grandparents.

The day ended with a craft, courtesy Willow Hill Designs. Flagstaff County Economic Development Officer Jenalee Waring says it was “a really great day.” She says it’s always a pleasure to host this event for area seniors, who attended this year from all around Flagstaff County. Waring says, “We’re thankful for our Continued on Page 17

Four charged after massive stolen property bust Leslie Cholowsky Editor

In an investigation which began in 2021 following tips received from the public, charges have been laid against four people for their alleged involvement in a lengthy stolen property investigation. Nearly 90 stolen vehicles, trailers, farming equipment, and other machinery had previously been seized. The charges bring the nearly threeyear ALERT Auto Crimes unit investigation, known as Operation Elephant to a

Maxwell Devonshire Realty

close. ALERT estimates that the stolen property recovered has an estimated value of $3.1 million. Most of the stolen property has been returned to its rightful owners. In December 2022, 17 search warrants were being executed. Most of the search warrants took place in the Camrose area. Following the search warrants and seizures, ALERT undertook the laborious process of analyzing the more than 100 pieces of stolen property, and worked to prepare the required documents and disclosure. “Stolen farm equipment, machinery,

and recreational vehicles can be incredible losses which shakes the perception of safety in rural communities. Although many of the recovered stolen items were returned, there’s still significant impact and costs incurred,” said Insp. Angela Kemp, ALERT Edmonton. ALERT alleges the accused were involved in acquiring the stolen property for use in their business interests, which included farming and equipment rentals. Four people have been charged: Gaye Turnbull, 70, is charged with possession of property obtained by

crime, possession of property obtained by crime for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking in property obtained by crime, conspiracy to traffic in property obtained by crime, laundering proceeds of crime, tampering with a vehicle identification number, and attempt to possess property obtained by crime; Jeffrey Roblin, 37, is charged with possession of property obtained by crime, possession of property obtained by crime for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking in property obtained by crime, conspiracy to traffic in property Continued on Page 19

Senior men’s baseball nearing mid-season Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Last week the Battle River Baseball League played their games on Wednesday, June 5, with Czar beating Viking 6-1, Provost over Castor 5-0, Veteran over Amisk 10-2, and Mackling winning against Killam 20-1. Macklin and Czar remain tied for first place in the league, with eight points each, with Veteran in third, Amisk in fourth, Killam and Provost tied for fifth, and Castor and Viking both tied for seventh place, both teams still looking for that first win. This coming Wednesday, June 12, will see Amisk travelling to Provost, Killam heading to Viking, Veteran in Castor, and Macklin coming to Czar. In the Powerline League the Rival and Rosalind Athletics

had a rematch from June 1’s game in Daysland, with the Rivals coming away with a 15-10 win. On Monday, the Rivals were due to host the Camrose Roadrunners, while Tuesday saw them head to Vegreville to take on the Blue Jays. Also on Tuesday, the Rosalind Athletics travelled to Armena to take on the Royals, and on Wednesday the Tofield Braves will be headed to Camrose to play against the Roadrunners. Rosalind will be back in Tofield on Thursday, to play the Braves. After eight games played, the Rosalind Athletics are 6-20, with the rest of the league behind in game play. Vegreville is 4-2-0, Armena and the Rivals are both 3-3-0, with the Camrose Roadrunders at 3-40, and Tofield Braves at 1-6-0.

Sedgewick Kindergarten grad a big hit with families Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

It was a community hall full of parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and aunts and uncles at the Sedgewick Kindergarten graduation night. They all came to celebrate with the kindergarten kids and got to listen to a small sample of what they learned and did during the year. During the evening we learned that the Sedgewick Early Childhood Services is celebrat-

ing 50 years right now. Fifty years of having a private kindergarten in Sedgewick, thanks to a parent volunteer run board and all those who keep supporting the Sedgewick ECS by opening their doors for field trips and donations. Thank you! It's Grad season as you can tell and the CHSPS Graduation is coming up on June 22. Over 40 young adults are moving onto a new chapter in life. Congratulations to all the 2024 graduates! Their celebration will be held at the Sedgewick Wild Rose Co-op Recreation Centre. A new tree has been

planted along the walking trail in Sedgewick close to last year's graduation tree as well. May they spread their branches while having roots that are thoroughly grounded. The Sedgewick Community Church of the Nazarene is gearing up for their annual Vacation Bible School in July. Usually held during the third week of the month, it has been moved to the fourth week this year. The dates are July 22-26 and children ages 4-12 are welcome to participate as long as they are independent when going to the bathroom and can be

away from the parent. This year's theme is ‘Cars: Loving God, serving others.’ It's always a highlight of the summer for many little ones, and free to attend. Be sure to sign up with Judy Larson or the Nazarene Church as spots will be limited. And if you are looking for something different to do, check out the Rosalind Elks Bones Tournament coming up later this month. It's on the same weekend as their Pickle Ball Tournament and all walking distance to the Detention Brewery. You don't want to miss all the excitement!

Dwayne Kelndorfer

Dwayne Joseph Kelndorfer, “Dippy,” was born in Killam on October 7, 1971, to his parents, Dianne and Joseph Kelndorfer. He was their only son and last born after his sisters Adele, Deborah, Patty, and Susan. Dwayne grew up on the family farm south of Killam where he spent the

majority of his days. Any free time that he had, he would spend with his friends, playing hockey for the Killam Indians and Killam Wheat Kings, or baseball for the Killam Braves, and enjoying the outdoors. Dwayne started his family at the young age of 24, 10 short months before marrying his former wife, Reena, when they welcomed their first daughter, Shyann (Shybear) into the world. He loved being a father so much that 15 months later they welcomed their second daughter, Sydney (Squid). They moved to the family farm in 1998. In 2002, they welcomed their son, Lan-

don (Nugget). Dwayne was a cattle and grain farmer, but his biggest pride and joy were his three children. He would build ice rinks at the farm for the kids to practice skating on and spent countless hours playing catch in the front yard. He rarely missed a game played and was so proud of the many sports his children took part in over the years. Dwayne loved the outdoors, spending time with family and friends on campouts, fishing trips, travelling, and most of all riding horses in the mountains. Most recently, he had created his own piece of heaven at Buffalo Lake

at his lake lot. It was a place that welcomed anyone, no matter who they were. Dwayne was also well known for giving back to his community. He volunteered many hours towards the Killam Minor Hockey Association and coached both hockey and baseball. Dwayne lived a full life in his 52 short years. He will be fondly remembered for his sense of humour, kind heart, and generosity. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him. Left to cherish his memory are his daughters, Shyann (Ryan) Haeberle;

Sydney (Matt Palmer) Kelndorfer; son, Landon (Marlie De Vos) Kelndorfer; his children’s mother; Reena Kelndorfer; father Joseph Kelndorfer; mother Dianne Kelndorfer; siblings Adele (Jim) Clark; Deborah (Lino Mula) Kelndorfer; Patty (Garry Buchholz) Cole; Susan (Tony Bukkems) Kelndorfer; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Dwayne was predeceased by his grandparents Frank and Theresa Kelndorfer; and Norman and Lorraine Zimmel. As well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close

Lovely wedding shower held at Hardisty Seniors Centre recently Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

Well hello all you lovely folks. I must say that we are getting enough rain to make our plants and seeds grow, no drought at the moment. Thank the dear Lord that the wretched wind is dying down. I wonder how strong the winds are that you always hear, plague the southern area around Lethbridge? I do not believe I could cope with persistent wind. How do all the plants in their flower beds survive? We did not plant our flowers till yesterday, when we were not blown away. Maybe someone who has experienced that wind could call and enlighten me? I am truly interested. On Sunday, June 2, a lovely wedding shower was held for the daughter of Karen and Warren Lefebvre. Shaelyn Lefebvre was joined by family and friends to celebrate her upcoming nuptials. The shower was held at the Seniors Centre and from the pictures it looked elegant, with white tablecloths and a long table filled with delicious snacks to enjoy. Any shower I have ever

attended in Hardisty has always been so entertaining. Rural ladies seem to have a knack to make these social events come alive with fun and laughter, good food, and friendship. We wish you all the best at your upcoming wedding Shaelyn and a lifetime of true love and happiness. I did a little reading, on good old Google, on the history of wedding bridal showers. Why is it called a bridal shower? The true origins can be traced back to Holland and another article said it can be traced back to Belgium, in the 16th. century. At that time the event served as a way to bypass the dowry system, in case the father of the bride refused the dowry or the groom was too poor to pay the dowry. For example, what if a poor field worker fell in love with a young society girl? Her friends, knowing that the field worker would never be able to pay the dowry, give the couple gifts to ensure the two can fulfill their dream of being together. The original purpose of the bridal shower has remained somewhat the same over the course of time. The bride usually receives gifts that will allow her to become a competent chef, keep the house clean and cozy, or linens and

blankets, etc. In the olden days, the shower gave older women a heads up to enlighten the future bride about her duties in the bedroom...yikes! Our modern world has changed many parts of the traditional wedding shower. In some cases the ladies all rent a limo/bus and hit the bars and are entertained for the evening. Other brides have elaborate get-a-ways and go south in the winter and some even have joint bachelor/bachelorette parties. Yes, things have certainly evolved into different celebrations for the upcoming wedding. Whatever makes you happy will be what is right for you. While I was reading I came upon a multitude of so called rules on who should host the shower. The mother-in-law, the mother, the bridesmaids, and on and on. Thank goodness I never read any of these social rules or I would have gone crazy. My biggest concern, when I hosted showers, was that there was lots of yummy food, drink, and the hall was decorated to look cozy and the bride and friends enjoyed themselves. So if any of you are getting married, do what feels right and know that nowadays anything goes.

Just remember that there are always old neighbours, aunties, and grandmas that would love to be invited and recognized at these events. We are still a bit old school but we also love showers, good food, friendships, and we can enlighten the bride to be what happens on the wedding night...if we remember?... Just kidding. We have experienced life and we always wish the new couple a lifetime of happiness. So bring on the showers and the wedding season and enjoy all the festivities related to eternal love. So what is the actual dictionary meaning of the word, "LOVE?" A deep devotion or affection for another person. A strong sexual passion for another person. The kindness man should show towards others. The adoration or affection towards God or other person, and on and on. Interesting how many meanings that word actually has. Remember on June 16 it is Father's day. Without the love of the father figure in your life you would not exist. There are many types of Fathers. Biological fathers, step fathers, test tube fathers, or other humans that have taken on this important role in someone's life. Remember to thank these humans who have

contributed to your existence and your life. We wish all the dads out there a wonderful "Happy Father's Day." Remember that you are loved! JOKE for dads...."If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing

neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?" ( Credit to Carol Bourque's cookbooks that had jokes in them.) Till next week folks, please call me with some news...Thank you.

OPINION Why transitioning to electric vehicles by 2035 is unrealistic

The federal government has mandated that all new light-duty vehicles be electric by 2035. Achieving that goal would require vastly more electrical generation capacity and an enormous expansion of charging stations. A Fraser Institute study published in March found that handling the higher load would require either 13 large new gas plants or the equivalent of 10 new mega-dams the size of B.C.’s $16-billion hydro Site C. Just one problem: almost all viable hydro sites have already been dammed. Plus, it took 10 years to get environmental approval for Site C and another 10 to build it. That leaves the natural gas plants. But powering EVs with natural gas puts the kibosh on zero emissions. The cost of building and operating 13 new gas plants would be enormous. Who would pay for them? It’s virtually impossible to separate power billing by source, so they need to be rolled into existing electricity rates. That would increase costs for Canadian businesses, many of which are already struggling. And it might even lead inflation-weary citizens to take to the streets with or without their trucks. The only alternative would be huge nationwide power subsidies in a country already carrying a massive national debt. And then there are the direct EV subsidies to consider. The federal government provides a $5,000 subsidy for every EV purchased in Canada. And powering up all these new EVs, if people do buy them, would require a major expansion of charging stations. Here again, taxpayers are riding to the rescue with the $680-million “Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program” – this after the federal government has already spent more than a billion dollars “to make EVs more affordable and chargers more accessible for Canadians.” Adding to the taxpayer largesse, a new electric vehicle supply chain incentive provides a 30 percent tax credit for vehicle assembly, battery production and acquisition of materials (e.g., lithium, cobalt and manganese) used in the cathodes that make batteries work. It was designed for Honda’s recently announced $15-billion plant but also applies to other new projects. If your head isn’t already spinning trying to comprehend the massive scale of con-

sumer and taxpayer largesse to the EV industry, there’s another huge subsidy to think about: free road use. We reprehensible drivers of gasoline and diesel vehicles pay a lot in fuel taxes. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s 2022 Gas Tax Honesty Report shows that Canadian drivers pay an average of 55 cents per litre in gasoline taxes. Combining that information with Statistics Canada data showing total consumption of 42.5 million litres means Canadian drivers paid over $23 billion in road use taxes. Meanwhile, EV drivers pay nothing. Apart from the obvious unfairness, Ottawa’s EV mandate would gradually remove gasoline and diesel vehicles from the road. When they’re gone, who’s going to pay to maintain the roads for all those EVs to travel on? Finally, the bottom-line question: Will this big shift to electric vehicles have any environmental benefits? An International Energy Agency study shows that to meet international EV pledges, the world will need no fewer than 388 new lithium, nickel and cobalt mines. But the time between regulatory application to actual production ranges from six to nine years for lithium and 13 to 18 years for nickel. And 2035 is only 11 years away. What about the human cost of all those mines? Most rare-earth minerals are currently found in developing countries, fully half in Africa, where reports of child labour and other human rights abuses are all too common. A team of researchers centred at Northwestern University examined the impact of cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo and found it had “dire effects on human well-being.” Therefore, the answer to the question Will the shift to electric vehicles have any net environmental benefit? is clearly no. The human cost of trying to meet the EV targets will be profoundly negative. Those factors alone make it highly unlikely that Ottawa’s ban on gasoline vehicles will actually happen. But the biggest reason it will fail is that people don’t want it. There are new reports of EV sales collapsing despite both subsidies from governments and price-slashing from firms. Governments are discovering, to their dismay and citizens’ relief, that, as Adam Smith himself put it in his 1759 book The Theory of Moral Sentiments, “people are not chess pieces to be moved around by a hand from above.” Gwyn Morgan Gwyn Morgan is a retired business leader who has been a director of five global corporations. © Troy Media

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Keep children AWAY from lawn mowers! Dear Editor,

As we are now in the season of lawn maintenance and outdoor activities, I would like to remind everyone about the potential hazards associated with machinery such as lawn mowers, especially in the presence of children. I was only two when an accident forever altered the course of my life. Innocently playing outside, I ventured too close to a moving lawn mower, unaware of the danger it posed. The operator was unaware of my presence and backed up, not realizing I had stumbled and fallen behind the lawn mower. I was rushed to the hospital where

doctors had to amputate my right arm above the elbow and part of my left hand. As a graduate of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, I am advocating for safety measures around lawn mowers. I accept who I am today, but I wouldn’t want another child to go through what I did. It’s important to recognize that accidents can occur in the blink of an eye, with lifelong consequences. By sharing my story and raising awareness, I hope to encourage greater caution and vigilance among parents, caregivers and communities alike. Denise Swedlo The War Amps

Flagstaff Community Adult Learning looks back on 50 years of learning in the Flagstaff community Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Flagstaff Community Adult Learning (FCAL) celebrated 50 years on Thursday, June 6, in Forestburg at the train station. Former coordinator Val Rathjen acted as master of ceremonies for the event, welcoming around 80 people for the evening’s celebration, including present and former volunteers and board members. Rathjen told a humorous story about how she took a three-month temporary job at FCAL and ended up staying for nine or 10 years. She added, “I hold all of these people in this organization close to my heart, because I have had the wonderful opportunity to invest in this program and in the wonderful people that we serve in the community that benefited.” Board member Randy Roth introduced the board after dinner, who are Vera Engel, Sharleen Chevraux, Jackie Norman, Tara Tanton, and Carmonie Schroeder. He then introduced staff members Nanette Jones, Lois Polege, and Treena Brooke, Joanne McMahon, and Janet Gartner. Roth said, “We’re all here because of the lifelong journey of learning that we are all on.” Forestburg Councillor Dwayne Giroux brought greetings from the Village of Forestburg, Council, and Administration. “Adult learning is an important avenue to keep people’s minds active and moving forward. Please join me in thanking Flagstaff Community Adult Learning for the service they have provided. We wish them much success in the years to come.” Rathjen then brought greetings from MLA Jackie Lovely and MP Damien Kurek. Lovely said the evening was a wonderful way to show appreciation to Flagstaff Community Adult Learning for their service to the community over the past 50 years. Rathjen asked Lois Polege to take the stage to introduce some videos, produced by JCE Files, to share some stories about FCAL, its programs, and its impact. Treena Brooke also introduced videos about the Change it Up pro-

gram, and added her thanks to past and present board members for the legacy that FCAL has brought to the community. The videos featured former clients, board members, and staff, talking about various services and experiences with Flagstaff Community Adult Learning. One of the messages arising from the videos, from board member Sharleen Chevraux, was how the organization has evolved through the years to serve the changing needs of the community; one of the reasons it has lasted 50 years. In the videos former and present clients talked about how the services and programs offered by FCAL went beyond learning, and also developed into community connections. After the video presentations Rathjen said, “The heart and soul of each program is about relationships. It’s about those services, and it’s about meeting the needs of the community, and this team does it fabulously.” She then brought more greetings and congratulations, starting with Leda Johnson. “Leda was first a volunteer, who served as a community representative, because at the beginning, the government sort of said, ‘Here’s a tiny bit of money,’ adding, ‘Do something for adults in your community.’ “Out of those small beginnings came what we see now. Leda was one of the community representatives before taking on the role as coordinator.” In that message Johnson talked about the various places that were used as offices before landing at the courthouse in Killam. She also recognized past community coordinators, closing with, “Thank you so much, and best wishes for your anniversary.” Rathjen then read greetings from Mary Jane Hedeman, who was a literacy coordinator in the 90s, “I want to let you know that even though we are unable to celebrate with you, we celebrate this milestone, and how it has changed many lives and given so much to our communities.” Rathjen added, “We also wanted to recognize folks that are in the room. We have a couple of ladies who were part of that community connection, when different towns had different represen-

In the room here tonight, we have Marj Lunty, and Carol Ross. Both of these ladies were part of those community connectors. They would listen to the people in their town, village, or area, and try to set up courses. So thank you, for being part of the beginnings.” Rathjen then recognized those present who had served as tutors, including Carole Stang, Richard and Elaine deBock, Donna Polege, and Terri Rombough. Polege introduced more videos, first giving a shout out to Sandra Erickson, who works on the job board for FCAL. That led to a more in-depth conversation about Building Blocks, which was started by Nanette Jones. Polege said, “Nanette has been with us for 15 years, and we see so much fruit from what she has invested in this community and this organization, but she has decided that for her it’s time to move on, and she will be retiring at the end of this month. We want to take the opportunity today to recognize and thank her for all that she’s done; for her creativity and passion, and compassion she’s shared with so many people. The impact she’s made, and will continue to make in many ways.” McMahon was invited to talk about her experiences with Jones, and the Building Blocks program. “I am proud to say I’ve been part of this organization for the past 14 years. “I started my involvement with FCAL as a volunteer tutor, which is such a good experience. After tutoring, I became a builder in a newly developed Building Blocks Program.” McMahon said Jones had a dream of starting a family literacy program. The two looked at what was available in Alberta and settled on the Building Blocks program. “As FCAL’s Literacy Tutor Coordinator, Nanette had noticed a need for family literacy for years, and in my role, as a kindergarten teacher in Flagstaff County, I noted that the literacy gap was getting larger each year among children starting school.” She described how family literacy programs work, building on the idea that parents are the first and most important teacher for their children. In October of 2012, the Building

Blocks program began, with good early success. “Building Blocks has really been the most fulfilling job I have ever done as a teacher. “In Nanette’s role, as literacy coordinator for FCAL, she has worked to increase our county’s residents knowledge in all types of literacy, including financial, computer, physical, ESL, and the one most dear to her heart, family literacy.” She also talked about Jones’ tireless efforts to secure funding for the project, and her success in keeping it running over the years. Jones then took the podium, “All that I’ve been doing all my time at Adult Learning, is working with the best of friends, and I just can’t thank you all enough for the love and support.” She made a special presentation to McMahon and to Janet Gartner for their contributions to the Building Blocks program. Roth then returned to the stage with his own video presentation about FCAL’s history over the years, and some of the highlights of programs offered through its history. He closed his presentation by inviting those board members, some who’d served over 25 years, who were present and current staff members to stand and come to the podium. He presented them all with tickets to the Battle River Rail’s Murder Mystery in thanks for their service. Then a special tribute was presented to the staff by board member Tara Tanton, who unveiled a special window piece created by artist Karen Thomas from Glass and Grind Mosaics. “To each of these incredible women, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their unwavering dedication, their relentless pursuit of educational excellence, and their profound impact on the lives of so many. Their commitment, passion, and tireless efforts have not only transformed the field of adult learning, but have also inspired us all to strive for greatness.” The dedication on the art said: “For Lois, Margaret, Nanette, Sharleen, and Vera - when these amazing women bring their gifts together, they create a masterpiece.”

Alliance Continued from Page 11 Flagstaff Adult Learning started. They celebrated with a dinner and program at the Station in Forestburg. Julia Feltham, Roseann Bauman, Trudy Lamoriss, and I enjoyed the event. Trudy Lamoriss was the delegate to the AWI Conference in Camrose. It was her first time to attend. I also attended. It was probably my 20th time. It was a good conference. Four guards from the Bowden Penitentiary were speakers on Friday morning. They told us of the alarming practice of giving the inmates needles and other drug paraphernalia so they could “safely” inject. Drugs are not allowed in prison. The needles are used as weapons. The guards have requested that

the Federal Government stop sending the needles and do a rehabilitation program instead. The AWI endorsed their request and we will be contacting our MP’s to change this silly program. Argyle Branch came home with lots of ribbons for our handicraft. We entered 27 items. We got a certificate for placing third in points but we (Karin McCracken) had the best in show with her lovely fancy knit sweater. There were two fashion shows for some fun. I won The Future Fashion with a ridiculous get up of red shorts, pink tank top, green backpack with solar panel, head phones, and kneehigh leather boots. Trudy won the High Faluting Fashion Show with her orange chiffon gown with angel wings and silver neck and sleeve trim. Besides the dress, the per-

formance was what carried it off. I will have some information about the Associated Country Women of the World at the Farmer’s Market next week. We are really pushing to reduce food waste and create food sustainability. I am the Coordinator for Alberta so I attend the Zoom meetings the third Saturday each month at 3 a.m. There are women in all time zones attending. Grace and Dan Reister spent four days in Calgary tending to medical appointments. They day after they left, Zena, the dog had her pups, eleven of them. Grandson Evan was holding down the place while there were gone. The medical appointments were promising.

Killam preparing for 52nd annual rodeo weekend Leslie Cholowsky Editor

After a complete changeover in the Killam Ag Society this spring, new board members, including President Derek Kroetsch, immediately got to work planning the 52nd annual Indoor Rodeo, happening on Friday, June 14, and Saturday, June 15. Kroetsch says new Vice President Dylan Eskra took on the role of rodeo committee chair. He says things are ready to go for the weekend. “We divided the workload for all the planning, and we’re ready to go!” He says it wouldn’t be possible without long time rodeo volunteers Ben Wetthuhn and Bernie McGowan, and says those two have been working hard on preparing the arena’s new dirt surface for the rodeo, and bringing in the chutes and panels needed for rodeo stock. The event is a Lakeland Rodeo Association official rodeo and Kroetsch says he’s looking forward to some great rodeo entertainment.

This year’s Friday night show will feature mutton busting at half time. Kroetsch says, “We had 15 kids signed up in an hour and a half, and 80 more on a waitlist.” The kids will also participate in a boot scramble this year that promises to bring a lot of fun. Saturday’s half time entertainment will see the Darling Diva Trick Riders return to Killam. It all starts with a Pancake Breakfast on Friday morning at Campbell-McLennan Chrysler, one of the two main sponsors of the rodeo, the other being Battle River Implements. Lunch will also be served at the Dealership, in support of district 4-H clubs. The Town of Killam is sponsoring a fireworks display on Friday evening. On Friday night, youth from kindergarten age to Grade 6 will get into the rodeo free of charge. On Saturday, the Killam Cyclones swim club will be holding a pancake breakfast at the arena, followed by the parade. This year’s parade will feature Chris Sutter as parade mar-

shall, who will ride with Mayor Rick Krys. After the parade, the Killam Chamber of Commerce will be holding their Blacktop Bonanza, complete with street vendors, inflatables for the kids, and the ever popular Euro Bungee, as well as live entertainment during the day. There’s also a car show being held on Main Street. A beef supper is being held at the arena by Mics’ Concession, followed by Saturday’s rodeo performance at 5 p.m. Kroetsch says this year both nights will feature a beer garden right in the stands during the event, with beer and cider only, and with Detention Brewing from Rosalind coming out both nights. The weekend is full of activities and promises to be a lot of fun, thanks to hardworking volunteers who devote their time and energy to planning and holding these events. The two-day event has become a staple, not just for Killam families, but the entire Flagstaff region.

Here’s what’s in store . . . There will be an opportunity to meet the BRCF Board Members and Ambassadors, learn more about the activities of the past year and hear the perspectives of those who have either donated to, or received grants from, the Foundation as well. • Terry Hamilton and his daughter Candace MacKinnon are lifelong members of the Flagstaff community. Terry and his wife, Ellie, have been generous supporters of the Battle River Community Foundation.over the years, encouraged to do so at ﬁrst by long-time friend and mentor, Ken Drever. Giving back to their communities has always been important to Candace and her husband Scott, as is setting that example and expectation for their children. Together, Candace and Terry will tell us why they have chosen to give back to their community through the Battle River Community Foundation. • Lois Polege has been the Adult Learning Coordinator for Flagstaff Community Adult Learning for the past twenty-ﬁve years. Born and raised in Flagstaff, she has a deep appreciation for the value of a vibrant, healthy and connected community. The Battle River Community Foundation has been instrumental in supporting one of the FCAL’s favourite offerings, “Building Blocks Family Literacy Program” and Lois is looking forward to sharing that story with us. • Dwight Dibben grew up in Forestburg before moving away to pursue his career. He and his family returned to the community a few years ago and Dwight is now the CAO of the Town of Forestburg and is also a Trustee on the Board of Battle River School Division. He is excited to share his perspective on why philanthropy matters. “It’s about making a difference in your community,” he says. “I am passionate about rural life and expanding our rural opportunities.” Please plan to join the Battle River Community Foundation for a fast-moving one-hour formal session, followed by an informal meet-and-greet featuring coffee/water, cheese, crackers and sweets and a chance to meet friends you haven’t seen in a while!

We look forward to having you with us!

100+ Women Who Care support two local volunteer groups Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The 100 Women Who Care in Flagstaff County met in Killam in May for their ‘spring split’ meeting, which divides the group’s total donation between two lucky presenters, which were the Iron Creek Museum and Hardisty Ladies Auxiliary.

Iron Creek Museum setting up new homestead display Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Iron Creek Museum in Lougheed has a new project. Volunteers are presently refurbishing a shed on the land near the Museum’s elevator, just off Highway 13, and converting it to a homesteader ‘cabin.’ Board member Vanessa Borgel says that work has already begun preparing the former shed for its new purpose, and that the building will be furnished through existing donations received by the museum. “It’s important to us to show our donations, made by local families, off in their best light, and we thought this was an ideal use.” A lot of the artifacts are currently displayed in the Sons of Norway log meeting hall on the museum’s main site, and Borgel says once the new display is up and running, the log hall will be available as a meeting space for the community.” She says the hall was recently exam-

ined by an expert in this type of construction, who declared it to be very unique, and one of very few buildings of its type to still be standing. The Museum Board will be looking at doing some repairs to the hall as one of its next major projects. The new display is expected to be ready for this year’s Fair Day, at the beginning of August. Funding for the project came from the 100 Women Who Care in Flagstaff County. Borgel says the museum is open Monday through Friday during July and August, and last year the board started selling hard ice cream when the museum is open, which has become quite popular with visitors and village residents. She says there’s been other improvements to the displays as well, an ongoing project to keep the displays from becoming static. Iron Creek Museum’s buildings event include a completely renovated homesteader’s cabin that’s available for the public to rent for an evening.

At the May 21 meeting of the 100-plus Women Who Care in Flagstaff County, two local volunteer organizations received funding in the group’s ‘Spring Split,’ meeting. The group, who meet quarterly, decided to split the donation pot in their May meeting, with the Iron Creek Museum in Lougheed, and Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary getting the members’ votes for funding. The two groups each received $5,725. There were 19 total nominations from members, and four groups made pre-

sentations over the night, including FIRST, for its Care-A-Van program, and Forestburg Town and Country Centre for wheelchair ramp improvements. Eighty of the group’s 187 eligible members voted at the Killam meeting, held at The Living Room. The 100 Women Who Care in Flagstaff County have now donated a total of $223,050, distributed to 36 different Flagstaff organizations. The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20 in Alliance. For information about how the group works, or how to join, visit their website at: 100womenflagstaff.wordpress.com/

Auxiliary raising funds for cardiac monitor Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Christie Love, Secretary of the Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary Guild, recently made a presentation to the 100+ Women Who Care in Flagstaff County, in the hopes of securing funding for a new cardiac monitor for the Hardisty Health Centre. Love gave some history of the group, which has existed since 1971, started by a meeting of 13 women in the Hardisty community to support the hospital in Hardisty. “Little did they know, this gathering would lay the foundation for an organization that would touch countless lives in the years to come. “Today the Hardisty Auxiliary boasts a membership of 20 dedicated individuals. Their noble mission is to enhance the quality of life for Long Term Care residents,

promote health-related education, assisting during times of crisis, and to purchase essential equipment.” Love said that the group, over the last 45 years, has donated $400,000 in goods to the Hardisty Health Centre and Handivan Society, raised through fundraisers, working casino, grants, donations, and lobby vending machines. The new cardiac machine will support the Hardisty Hospital Emergency and patient services. The auxiliary also created and runs the Volunteen Program, which last week celebrated its 50th year. Graduates from this year’s volunteen program were: Jacob Cornwell, Amanda Cepeda, Kherington Patterson, Madie Oxamitny, Anna Jones, Carissa McMahon, and Ava Bergseth. Also graduating but unable to attend Sunday were Surai Thomson, Mackenna Hayes, and Bailey Oberg.

Parents for Fun in Flagstaff/ Family Resource Centre 5175 51 Ave, Killam www.parentsforfuninflagstaff.com

780-385-2346 Parents often refer to it as the indoor playground in Killam. Indeed, the Family Resource Centre (as it’s formally known) is a facility where young children can come to climb the really cool play structure and play with age-appropriate toys. But it’s so much more than that. Just ask Jessica Docksteader, program facilitator for the Family Resource Centre, which is run by the Parents for Fun in Flagstaff Society. She likes to refer to the facility as a hub for early childhood development. “Number one, we provide a facility to come and play, grow and connect,” she explains. “We also provide different programing – early childhood, educational, and supportive.” That includes a moms’ group and various literacy programs. Additionally, the facility is used by a variety of outside service providers: the nearby daycare, the Flagstaff Family Day Home Society, preschools, kindergarten classes and even prenatal programs. “So we’re catching those parents before they even have their child,” Docksteader points out. “We really are and have become, over the years, a hub for early

childhood development in our youth and our children.” Essentially, the Family Resource Centre can connect parents with anything they need to raise their children. “So if you need to find out how to get connected with speech therapy, we can do that for you,” Docksteader says. “If you need support raising your children, we can have people come in your home and support you.” The idea for the facility dates back to 2008. That’s when “a group of women got together and saw a need for a facility to gather with their families and their kids.” Docksteader continues: “They just started raising funds to build the structure that's here and it just kind of snowballed from there.” Docksteader was hired in December of 2009. The Family Resource Centre opened the following year. The initial vision was to create a safe place for families to gather, get connected and feel supported in the parenting journey. That vision, however, has evolved over the years. These days, the facility strives to react to the changing needs of the community. “We take what our community needs at each time of the year and we build from there,” Docksteader says. “So if we see that there needs to be support for new moms, then we can create a program around that.” The Family Resource Centre, which receives funding from Flagstaff County but no provincial or federal funding, is unique for a rural setting. “This facility blows everybody’s socks off when they come from urban areas,” Docksteader notes. “They can’t believe that a small, rural community has a gem like this.” The Parents for Fun in Flagstaff Society is a nonprofit, volunteer board consisting of mostly young parents. Among them is Alex Davidson, a mom to two “pandemic babies.” She says it was difficult to get out and socialize during that time, but she has always felt safe at the indoor playground. “Actually, a lot of my friends would come here to meet my baby,” Davidson says. “Like no one came to

my house to meet my baby. We always met here and I never felt invaded. I always felt safe here, and I think being a new mom, you need to get out of your house.” Jodi Campbell, meanwhile, has been on the board for nearly 15 years – since her daughter was a baby. Her daughter is now a student assistant at the centre. “I've actually been asked why I'm still on this board, now that my kids are getting older,” Campbell says. “Truly, it's that this board is doing such amazing things in the community. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?” She adds that the centre’s vision to create connections and support systems really resonates with her. “I feel like parenting can be overwhelming, especially for new parents, and it really does take a village to raise a child. And we don't want anyone to feel like they're doing that alone.” Campbell is responsible for helping to establish Movie in the Park, one of the area’s premiere summer events. Movie in the Park, of course, is hosted annually by Parents for Fun in Flagstaff. Campbell was aware of a similar event in Calgary and thought it could be successful in Flagstaff. That was in 2010. It has steadily grown over the years and is now the top fundraiser for the facility, helping to offset operating expenses. This year, the 15th Annual Movie in the Park is slated for August 20 in Killam. The movie Migration will be showing. In the meantime, Parents for Fun in Flagstaff is looking for event sponsors.
