Hampshire receives Humanitarian Award Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Sydney Hampshire, daughter of Murray and Marta Hampshire of Sedgewick, and author of the Heritage Barns of Flagstaff books, recently received the Canadian Federation of Medical Students and CPAMD Humanitarian Award. Hampshire has just finished her first year of Medical School, after she attained a Master of Science degree. Hampshire grew up in La Glacé but when her parents moved back to Flagstaff County, she says she lost that connection. She spent a number of summers working in Flagstaff, including the years she worked for the County on the Heritage Barns of Flagstaff project, and says she now feels more connected to the region, especially with the Hampshire family history here. “I’m out here so often, too.” After finishing her masters, Hampshire started working with a research group on

hip and knee replacements, and it was also during that time that she became part of the development team for an app called Click and Push. Click and Push - Atlas, is available for iPhones and Android. It’s a mobile app that allows users to add information on barriers they face in their day through the app. Users map barriers, like potholes, lack of curb cuts, construction hazards, elevator outages, and non-functioning power door buttons. Hampshire had an ischemic stroke at age nine, leaving her paralyzed on her dominant left side, and has worked hard to regain her own mobility. She says in her biography for the humanitarian award, “Slowly and surely things got better,” with a lot of hard work at physiotherapy. Hampshire says now she can do any activity she puts her mind to, “often with some creative modifications. “However, every day since my stroke and every facet of my life has been impacted.” Hampshire does daily physiotherapy

and must wear an Ankle-foot orthosis when walking far distances. Hampshire also received one of three RhPAP Rural Medical School Awards for 2024. She says, “I can support and manage my own property while also volunteering in the community…. This is critical for a rural physician as some rural communities can be isolating. “A person moving to a rural community needs to put the work into integrating and meeting their neighbours.” Hampshire says having a chronic physical disability early on in her life has influenced her decision to become a rural physician and inspire others. “It is very difficult to do all the physiotherapy, meds, and treatment you need to do on your own… I went from not being able to walk, talk or use my hands to being in first-year medical school.” Hampshire says that she feels like she’s very much suited to rural medicine due to her upbringing and connection to rural

Hampshire says medical school is pushing her in new ways, and she’s enjoying it. “I didn’t have a plan, but you can just follow that love of community, and you can find a good place to be.”

Nasty storm system produces land spout south of Bawlf Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Environment Canada issued tornado watches for all of the Flagstaff County region midday

on Monday, June 3. As various storms brought rain and even pea-sized hail to the western half of Flagstaff County, one large storm actually had a landspout

confirmed by Environment Canada, in the Edberg area southeast of Camrose. The event caused a fair amount of localized damage to buildings there, be-

fore moving on to hit Rosalind, Daysland, Strome, and south of Killam before petering out to just a mild thunderstorm.

Pea-Sized hail covered Highway 13 towards Strome from the storm, which also brought plenty of rain, with some in the path of the storm-

cell reporting over an inch of rain. The tornado watch was dropped shortly after 6 p.m.

The Flagstaff Fresh Market in Killam last week got moved indoor as inclement weather made for some soggy streets. At the Community Hall, many unique local vendors were on hand, bringing plenty of visitors to town for the event, which was held from 3 to 6 p.m. At the door, Flagstaff County was col-

Celebration of Life: Edward (Ted) Arthur Kleinmeyer Ted Kleinmeyer was an entertainer, a dedicated employee and an active community member who enjoyed the company of friends and family throughout his life. Dad seemed happiest spending time outdoors, hosting parties with friends and cooking ﬁve-star breakfasts. Whether it was a camping trip to Radium with Uncle Gordy and Aunt Shirley (never mind the motorhome drag races that happened), heading to Jackﬁsh Lake, camping with different aunts and uncles, or snowmobiling on weekends north of Sedgewick. Being active in the community was important for Dad and he demonstrated this in each community we lived in through Lions Club events, Kinsmen Club events or being a member of town council. He made many friends and great memories wherever he went ((I have the ppictures to pprove it!).)

Please come and join us in celebrating Dad's life and his memory.

Alberta scores lower on poverty report card Jana Semeniuk Staff Reporter Food Banks Canada released their second annual Poverty Report Card for the country on May 22, revealing that Alberta’s overall score declined from a D in 2023 to a D- in 2024. Reasons given in the report were that the province hasn’t sufficiently tackled the ongoing housing and affordability crisis resulting in a stagnation or decline of nearly all indicators for this year. Two of the four sections of the report, Experience of Poverty and Material Deprivation, used public opinion data based on an online study conducted by

Pollara on behalf of Food Banks Canada. A total of 4,089 adult Canadians across the 10 provinces participated in this study, with 301 adults surveyed from Alta. The data was collected between March 8-20 this year. The other two sections, Poverty Measures and Legislative Process, used data from a variety of sources including Statistics Canada, and the Maytree report Welfare in Canada 2022. According to Food Banks Canada’s report, Canada as a whole appears to be in decline when it comes to addressing poverty reduction efforts with every province

PEI did achieve more positive scores on several indicators, such as Legislative Process which rose to a B this year from a D last year.

Daysarts giving away items and props from Palace Theatre Celeste Ewan Daysland & Area E. daysland.ab.news@gmail.com

Daysland had lovely weather for the Minor Ball Day on Saturday, June 1. The grounds looked very well kept and busy, at that. However that didn't follow suit for the Monday to follow when the streets and some sidewalks of Daysland were flowing with water as we

withstood a good half hour or so of a downpour accompanied by peasized hail and a very thunderous sky. Hoping everyone's gardens weathered well in the storm. Daysland has rolled out their Canada Day itinerary and it sure doesn't sound like one to disappoint with everything from a car show and concession to a bike parade and live entertainment and for the children. There will be bouncy castles and activities as well

as a petting zoo. The Daysland Sunbeam drop in centre is having its silent auction and History Of Centre Photo Albums the second week of June and boasts they will have free coffee, tea, and donuts complimentary of the Town Of Daysland. Also in the second week of June the Daysland Alliance Church is holding their annual Ladies Salad Supper. Daysland Cemetery clean up day is Wednesday, June 5, at 1 p.m. with

an alternate day of Wednesday, June 12, if weather is not in favour. Daysland Palace Theatre is giving away some of its props and miscellaneous items such as doors, panels, steps, a wooden fireplace prop, and a metal hospital bed. If any of these things interest you, be sure to get in touch with the Daysarts Society at the theatre. Daysland’s next town council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, at 6 p.m. in the counsel

chambers, this is open to all residents. Daysland’s Public Library is having its talked about silent auction to raise money for their summer kids programs this week. They have many great programs throughout the summer that help break up the summer holidays for our youngsters. The month of June the library is also holding weekly crafts for kids, as well as continuing their cross stitching. Lynne Jenkinson won a

contest at Daysland’s AG Foods and won a $100 gift card for herself for the store as well as $400 to a charity of her choice, which is the Flagstaff Food Bank! If that isn’t enough luck, Lynne won the Hammock on Friday, May 31, through a contest through the same grocery store. Lynne teases she is hoping for three of three and to take home the car available through a contest through the same grocery store. Good luck Lynne!

Appreciation night held in Daysland for Dr. Andries and Martha Niemann an evening of fond reminiscing Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Daysland Hospital Foundation and Town of Daysland held an appreciation night for Dr. Andries and Martha Niemann for their long-time service to the community. The event, held in the Daysland Community Hall, saw around 120 people in attendance to honour this couple. Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Laurie Melnyk of the Daysland Hospital Foundation, who started the program off by saying, “We pay tribute to Dr. Andries and Martha Niemann. They gave generously of their time and talent, for over 20 years to Daysland and the surrounding communities. “They raised their family here after arriving in the year 2000 from South Africa.” Melnyk read a message from Dr. Michelle Hart, who worked the longest with Dr. Niemann, but was unable to attend. Hart related many personal stories of working with Dr. Niemann. She said as a young doctor, she learned a lot from two “formidable” doctors in Daysland at the time, which included Dr. Niemann. Dr. Hart also talked about Dr. Niemann’s thoroughness in consultation. Dr. Hart told how she grew up in South Africa knowing Dr. Niemann very well, as her father and he were residents together at the same hospital in Cape Town in the late 1970’s. She spoke about Dr. Niemann’s habit of always going home for lunch to enjoy Martha’s renowned cooking, and about sharing some of those treats over the years. “They had a tradition of sitting together for birthdays and holidays, and of sharing their hospitality with many people.” Dr. Hart talked about how Dr. Neimann always had good relationships with the nurses, and how he would tease them and help them and their families as needed, including delivering their babies. Dr. Hart spoke of her gratitude when Dr. Niemann was able to work with her a few years in Calgary. “The patients that he saw also appreciated how you feel really heard when you are in a consultation with him, and that you have his full attention and compassion. “I will join in the thank you to the Niemanns for their dedication and years of service to the Daysland community. Working and teaching; helping and leading, with a patient ear and a soft word - we appreciate you.” Acting Mayor Dianne Roth spoke next, and said, “We all miss you so much. Thank you for all your years of service - you were always there for us. “And Martha, you did so much for the community - thank you.”

Forestburg Mayor Blaise Young took the podium next, adding his thanks to the Niemanns. “Rural doctors. There’s something about rural doctors, and, whether it be a husband or a wife, the people who keep a family together. Leaving at 3 a.m. for emergency calls; leaving during supper, leaving during celebrations, these are tough things to do. Most people do not have to do those types of things, and I think quite often we don’t show our appreciation. I would like to thank and congratulate the people who organized this evening, because this is how a community shows its appreciation. “In Forestburg we had the clinic, manned by who we affectionately call ‘the Daysland doctors.’ Young also spoke of a long history that Forestburg has had with Daysland doctors, dating back to the early 1900s. “The citizens of Forestburg and our surrounding areas have been well served by our Daysland doctors. The Forestburg clinic provides us with something that’s very important to our wellbeing, and that is accessibility. We have doctors in Forestburg because of the Daysland doctors and doctors like Dr. Niemann.” Young added, “I would be remiss if I did not say that the Daysland doctors and Forestburg have a very powerful advocate, and that’s Laurie Melnyk.” He finished with his thanks to Dr. and Martha Niemann, saying, “ I hope you appreciate this evening, because we sure appreciate you.” Next Flagstaff County Reeve Don Kroetch expressed the gratitude of County Council to Dr. Niemann, “Whose dedicated medical service has profoundly impacted the Flagstaff region. His work has not only touched bodies, it’s also touched hearts. For more than two decades, Dr. Niemann has exemplified what it means to be a compassionate and skilled physician. “Your tireless commitment to patient care, your ability to bring comfort in the most challenging times, and your unwavering dedication to the community has set a high standard for medical service in this area. “My gratitude does not end there, however, it extends to your wife Martha, who worked at the Daysland Clinic and was active in countless activities in the Daysland area. Martha, your service of selfless volunteering has not only strengthened the community, but your example stands as a testament to the incredible human being that you are. “Thank you both, Dr. Niemann and Martha Niemann, for all that you have done for our community.” Mark Badry of the Daysland Pharmacy, who also sponsored the bar for the evening, spoke next. “I want to talk

Dr. Andries and Martha Niemann with daughter Suzanne, and grandchildren Hope and Tal. The Niemanns were honoured at a special appreciation night held in Daysland on Friday, May 31. about family, and home. Dr. Niemann and Martha pulled up their home from as far away from Daysland as you can get 20 years ago, and for some reason chose our little town to come and live in. We sure were lucky for that decision. “It wasn’t home when they first got here, it was just a place.” He says as he got to know and work with the Niemanns, a new family was developed, between the Badry family and the Niemanns. He said having the pharmacy so close to the clinic brought them even closer together, even where Suzanne Niemann worked at the pharmacy for a summer. He proposed a toast to Dr. Andries and Martha to finish his talk. Bev Rudosky talked about Martha. “Andries’ better half.” She talked about first meeting the Niemanns 23 years ago, and being so impressed that they would move their family all the way from South Africa to have a better life for themselves and their girls. She talked about she and Martha car pooling their girls to music lessons in Camrose, and having a lot of fun, and leaving Andries to cook. “Your faith and family as well as friends has always been important to you. You can see the love that Martha and Andries have for each other - being a doctor’s wife is not always easy.” Rudowsky said she and Martha talked often about the challenges in running the clinic, having a lot of fun in the process. She said, “A sad day came when you

moved to Calgary. I felt the loss in our community, but now you have your girls close by, as well as your grandchildren. “Martha you are a wonderful person,” Rudowsky said between tears, closing her speech with heartfelt wishes for the couple. Next up were nurses Denise Miller, Mary Anne Schneider, and Dawn Knodel, talking about their time as surgical nurses with Dr. Niemann. “We are the long-time OR girls, or part of the ATeam.” Miller said, “I’d like to thank you for serving our community and hospital for years. I feel like you are the end of the era that’s been lost. The family doctor who moved his family across the ocean has become part of our community. “Both you and Martha became such important community members. Thank you for being a part of my work family. We all appreciated that you were always in our corner.” Knodel said, “The difference between a workplace and a nice place to work are the people who make it so - you’re one of those people. Your dedication to our hospital and the way you acted in difficult situations helped us to learn and grow as professionals. A kindhearted man who listened to staff and patients with compassion and understanding, you supported and mentored co-workers and staff, and we were all better for the wisdom you shared.” Schneider said, “A doctor is a profess Continued on Page 17

Hardisty Volunteen program celebrates 50th year Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Sunday, June 2 marked the 50th anniversary of the Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary’s Volunteen program, where 10 students graduated from the program. The event also included a high tea, enjoyed by long term care residents and the graduates alike. The program has two Auxiliary members, Sheila Commander and Christie Love, who act as volunteen coordinators. Love welcomed all to the event, and talked a bit about the Volunteen program. She says the Volunteen Program, which started in 1974 and has run every year since then, is an opportunity for youth 14 years old and up to volunteer at the Hardisty Hospital. She says several of the graduating volunteens have gone on to pursue health-related careers and the Auxiliary provides a bursary to those who do. Each post-secondary graduate enrollet in a healthcare-related program is eligible to receive $300 per year of completed schooling, up to a maximum of $1,200 upon their graduation. That bursary was originally started by Beth and Dennis Schmidt in honour of the memory of their daughter Jill Ann who was a previous volunteen and nurse. Love says that during the 25th anniversary of the Hardisty Health Care Centre in 2009, three RNs at the time

The Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary celebrated its 2024 Volunteens on Sunday, June 2, at a special high tea with residents, staff, and family. This is the 50th year of the Volunteen Program in Hardisty. were also volunteen program graduates. She says enrollment has fluctuated, particularly through COVID, but the program came back strong this year with 10 participants. Volunteens assist nurses, comfort patients, and run errands, bringing a lot of joy and support to those in need, Love says.

“It is a great way to give back to the community and explore potential career paths in healthcare.” Love then asked each graduate present to come up and receive their certificates of graduation. Love said, “To all the graduating Volunteens, thank you for your dedication, hard work, and compassion. Your time an effort in the pgram have made a real

difference. Congratulations and thank you for being shining examples of generosity and kindness. Cathy Cepeda, volunteer coordinator for the Hardisty Auxiliary, added her thanks to the graduates and ask them to promote the program by sharing their experiences with other students, becoming Volunteen amabassadors in the region.

Legislative Report: Collegiate schools endorsed

Sedgewick Kindergarten graduation Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

The Battle River Pipes and Drums attended the Carstairs Heritage Festival and Parade of Kilts on Saturday, June 2. They performed in a parade in the morning, a 30 minute set in the afternoon and joined the massed bands in the evening. It was a full day of piping. The organizers decided the Battle River Pipes and Drums were the “best dressed.” How about that? They even got a trophy. Congratulations! Friends of the Sedgewick Public Library are raffling a quilt, 68" x 85", handcrafted by the late Lillian Nordstrom and donated by her family to the library. Tickets are $5 each, available at the library or from any Friends of the Library Board Members. Some tickets available at local businesses. Draw to be made Monday, July 1. The library held a “Simplify and Organize to Transform Your Life” workshop in collaboration with Flagstaff Community Adult Learning. Thirteen people came out and attended this amazing event. The ladies had great questions, valuable insight and vulnerability in sharing their experiences and struggles. Owner Christa Jones of Rose City Professional Organizing loves to facilitate these workshops. Another fun event is coming up later this month. Diamond dot art therapy, also known as diamond painting, is a creative and relaxing activity that has gained popularity for its therapeutic benefits. The library has 15 spots open, call the library to register for a spot for this free program. It will be a fun

night out creating a Diamond dot heart and butterfly keychains on Monday, June 17. Flagstaff Community Adult Learning (FCAL) is celebrating their 50th anniversary this Thursday at the Forestburg Train Station. 75 free tickets were up for grabs for this special event. Congratulations to FCAL! Also this Thursday is the Sedgewick Kindergarten Graduation at the Community Hall. Twenty-eight kids are moving from Sedgewick Kindergarten to Grade 1 in the fall. Their last field trip was on Friday, May 31, to attend the St. Albert Children's festival. With only 10 degrees and strong winds, it was definitely on the chilly side but overall a fun day for everyone. Thank you to Miss O.

George Lee

and Miss Vicki for another fantastic year of learning, exploring, and fun! We are so fortunate to have these dedicated early childhood educators and a committed board to keep the private kindergarten running. It's senior’s week and the Town of Killam is sponsoring some free coffee for seniors around their town. Seniors are the backbone of many community organizations in our rural area. New volunteers are hard to find and without these dedicated seniors, I'm not sure where we would be! Churches, second hand stores, libraries, museums, and many other organizations depend on their time, input and energy. Give thanks to a senior this week!

Local Journalism Initiative

An Alberta system of specialized programming successfully primes students for their post-secondary futures and helps Alberta meet job market needs, the UCP member for Cypress-Medicine Hat told the legislature May 16. Justin Wright said he has home knowledge of college schools. “Some of the best collegiate programs in our province are located in my charming constituency,” he said. “Collegiate programs bring together students with similar interests to benefit from enriched courses, specialized facilities and enhanced learning opportunities through a unique delivery model.” Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides said collegiate schools reflect Alberta’s support of choice in education, noting that the current budget assigns them $123 million in capital funding over three

years. “Collegiate schools play such a critical and vital role in not only our history of school choice and promoting school choice in the province but helping to ensure that young Albertans are able to learn the skills and competencies that are essential for success,” said Nicolaides, the member for Calgary-Bow. Twelve collegiate schools are approved, five of them having opened in the 2023-24 school year. Seven are scheduled to open in 2024-25. The province’s website says collegiate schools offer specialized programming in a subject or field and provide a “clear path-

way” to post secondary education and careers. They can operate within any category of public school – regular public, separate, francophone or public charter – or as accredited private schools. Collegiate schools may be eligible for startup funding, sometimes including a one-time grant of $50,000 to support the completion of applications. Each school must have a formal agreement in place with at least one post-secondary institution. Hands-on learning like work experience is a requirement, along with bridging or dual-credit programming into a postsecondary future.

More 4-H candid shots from the Flagstaff Region Achievement Day in Killam

Appreciation Continued from Page 9 ional where knowledge, heart, and power come together. Observation, reason and human understanding made you a physician, and Dr. Niemann, you displayed all these qualities. “I never did see you get angry; you always kept calm in the most stressful situations. We will always be grateful to you, and I was fortunate to be able to work with you at the hospital and the clinic, where I witnessed your, and Martha’s, continued dedication to the patients and the community. We are all grateful for all that you’ve done, and we appreciate you both. Dr. Makiwanee then spoke a few words about her experiences working with Dr. Niemann and Martha at the Daysland Clinic and in the hospital. She met Dr. Niemann and Martha in 2015, when she decided to make a change for her family and move to the community. “When I came to meet you that day, you were very calm, very kind, and very patient.” She talked about Dr. Niemann being very humble, but being a very strong person. Dr. Makiwanee told a story of her first day, rolling into Daysland from a 10-hr drive from Saskatchewan, and meeting Dr. Niemann at the hospital. She also said she was struck at his humility in dealing with the clinic issues, and that he never raised his voice. “There was something about your fatherly way to approach things; you always wanted to maintain peace at the clinic, and you always wanted to protect everybody. You always had a way

of peacefully cleaning up the mess and moving on. Thanks so much. “Martha, I will never forget when we moved to our new home, Martha moved ahead with four or five women and cleaned up our new house. Martha always served and with such leadership. She would cook for us, and was so transparent and clear, and expressed herself so well, as well as your motherly love, and your kindness. “The Niemanns were not just friends and colleagues to us, you were also mentoring me. I remember when we were leaving, you and Martha sat me down when we were moving, and said, ‘Don’t leave.’ She spoke about hearing that message in subsequent conversations, and how the Niemanns continued to urge her to ‘come home to Daysland.’ Dr. Olson took the podium and talked about being part of the committee who recruited Dr. Niemann. “He was always very open, as was Martha; I couldn’t believe how he acted like he’d known me forever. There are two kinds of physicians - there are physicians and there are medical businessmen. Luckily, Andries is a physician. “We were so lucky to live in a time when there were many rural physicians, real physicians, and Andries was one of them.” Some final words came from a message from Dr. Corrie Van Vuuren, who was unable to attend as he was away. He said he’s known the Niemanns for 20 years as friends, and Dr. Niemann as a colleague, “He is a knowledgeable diagnostician and very compassionate physician. He is highly appreciated and loved by his patients, who he served with wisdom, love, and diligence. As to Martha, she played a very important

and valuable role in the social and humanitarian life in Daysland, The Niemanns will be severely missed by Daysland and surrounding communities, we wish them all happiness in Calgary.” Dr. Niemann asked to address those gathered, saying, “I just want to thank you, very much for coming tonight to this evening. It is, to me, a big surprise, I certainly am very happy to see a lot of faces that I know. I wish to express my gratitude towards the community here for accepting us as immigrants from South Africa, and also accepting my girls at school. It was a wonderful 20plus years, and we really miss Daysland. I want to thank the hospital board for putting on this evening. “I came here in 2000 and never wanted to leave, I was just quite happy to do what I was doing, and I would like to thank the community for the beautiful clinic that we had to work in. “When I talk about community I think of the girls. Each one and every one is special to me, I respected you, and I just wish the ones who moved on, all the best. I tried to treat you fairly and you paid us back with faithful service, so to the girls in the clinic - thank you very much. “The hospital is unique. You only have to be in a city hospital for a few days to realize what you have here. It is a unique hospital, manned by fabulous nursing staff, and it was a pleasure to work with the nurses. They were all smart, they were all up-to-date, and of course, no hospital can survive without those who keep the wheels oiled. “I just want to thank my family for their support over the years, without that, I would not have been able to do

what I did, and especially my wife Martha, who is a true angel. Thank you, my dear, you’ve been with me since the beginning of my medical career and you always supported me. Something which I love very dearly. I also want to thank the community for coming tonight, and for all the good experiences I had. I can honestly say that I did not have a difficult patient or one that was rude to me in all my years here. Thank you very much.” Martha added her thanks at the end, saying, “This wonderful community will always have my heart.”

Svend Christensen

Svend Christensen was born to Aksel and Ellen Christensen in Orslev, Denmark on June 9, 1931, and passed away at Killam on

May 24, 2024. Svend is survived by his stepson, Jesper Nielsen and his wife Meredith; their children Chelsea (Wilhelm), Brittany, and Alex (Cassidy); stepson Jan Nielsen of Denmark and his children Lasse and Nikki (greatgranddaughter Loa); step-daughter Bente Lunty and her husband Melvin, their children Tina and Anders (Michelle, great-granddaughter Piper, great-grandson Oliver); and one step-brother, Per Christensen. Svend was predeceased by his parents, wife Lis, brothers Hans, Herluf, Knud, Lasse, Karl, Åge, Bent, Ole, and sister Ellen. When Svend was a young man, he

served some compulsory time in the Danish Army. After he completed his time in the army, he went to work for his brothers on their farms. At the age of 26 he decided to come to Canada. Svend worked on farms, in the oil patch, and when he was 41, he bought his farm. He was very passionate about farming. Svend went back to Denmark in 1972 and met Lis. Lis and Jesper came to Canada in 1973 and Lis and Svend were married. Svend and Lis loved to travel. After Lis passed, Svend continued to travel with his family. Svend also loved to cross-stitch and bowl. Unfortunately, in the last few years he

was unable to sew and bowl as his Parkinson’s progressed. Memorial donations in memory of Svend can be made to Parkinson’s Association of Alberta, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, or a charity of one’s choice. There will be a celebration of Svend’s life on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at the Killam Seniors’ Centre at 1:30 p.m. Arrangements in care of Fee & Sons Funeral Home and Crematorium Killam. Providing quality, honest and dignified service since 1913.

FAITH COLUMN What’s the most important thing that you do in your life? We live in a world where people are praised for making lots of money, inventing things, or having what we “think” are important jobs, but what really is the most important thing you can do in your life? Love. Not in a gushy, romantic way. Not in a dismissive or passive way (Of course, I love all people). But in a way that means we truly see each other, we love each other enough to stand with or stand up for, someone who is hurting, sad, or alone. Love means we will work to make sure that each person has all that they need to be fully alive and that we will do that without judgement. The challenging part is that judgement is natural and sometimes keep us safe; "that food/drink tasted weird so maybe I shouldn’t have it." However,

far too often our judgements hurt others. So, we need to constantly remind ourselves to see the world as God does. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matt 22:36-39) We often think that loving like that is easy. Do any of you have siblings? Well, I do, and I can tell you that loving them takes work! Yes, it is easy when we are all getting along. Other times it means doing the hard work of forgiving them when they say something hurtful, or having to say that we are sorry if we take something of theirs without asking. It means being patient when they are annoying and

making time to understand when we see things differently. It is a gift to have love like that, because not everyone does. We all need to work hard at sharing

OPINION

Truth or Consequences order in amended Bill One law firm penned in its synopsis of the Bill, “under these new provisions, statements must be based on adequate and proper substantiation using an ‘internationally recognized methodology.’” “It is unclear what an “internationally recognized methodology” is given the multitude of methodologies and standards that have been adopted by international organizations, as well as national and provincial or state governments.” Environmental groups, the law firms report stated, who are already actively asking the Competition Bureau to investigate “greenwashing” claims against companies involved in the oil and gas sector, such as the Royal Bank of Canada, Shell Canada, the Pathways Alliance and the Canadian Gas Association, will be emboldened by these provisions. They may ask the Competition Bureau to investigate, or they may request leave of the Competition Tribunal to take action against companies they consider to be engaged in “greenwashing.” Greenwashing, states left wing scribbler David Climenhaga, is a form of marketing spin intended to persuade members of the public that a product, service or activity is more environmentally friendly than it really is.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

JOHN’S RANT Once again the unholy Liberals/New Democrat alliance in Ottawa is trying to stifle Alberta’s oil and gas industry. Last February, long time NDP MP Charlie Angus (whom had already said he wasn’t seeking election, having read the tea leaves and realized the NDP are doomed because of Jagmeet Singh’s silly democracy-destroying alliance), introduced a bill that would threaten jail times and huge fines against the oil and gas industry if those producers tried to defend their record on the environment. At the time it was laughed at, so preposterous it was. But now, the suggestions have materialized into amendments to Bill C-59. Supported by the NDP and Liberals along with the anti- oil Bloc Quebecois, the amendment effectively allows environmental groups to sue oil and gas companies over allegedly misleading environmental benefits. The bill introduces socalled "anti-greenwashing provisions" that would allow activists to challenge the environmental claims of oil and gas companies. To defend their claims, companies would need to prove them using an "internationally recognized methodology.” What the bill doesn't do is make those environmental groups prove their statements to the same standards.

ter Rebecca Shulz immediately argued against this change stating, “Companies that wish to defend their environmental record will have to prove that their claims can be substantiated by an ‘internationally recognized methodology,’ a vague and undefined phrase that creates needless uncertainty for businesses.” “Any company not willing to risk millions of dollars in fines and legal fees will be forced to stay silent. And that is exactly the outcome that Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault and the federal LiberalNDP-Bloc Québécois alliance wants to happen.” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith weighed in, stating it’s the energy companies that are at the “forefront of doing these amazing environmental innovations.” Smith said some of the greatest innovations in Alberta come from the energy companies and part of her job is to help spread that message. Smith said that she loves to work with the federal government on common issues, but when Ottawa is being "unreasonable" and ignoring the achievements of the energy industry, Alberta needs to step up. "We are miles ahead of everyone else," she said. "We should take full advantage of this first mover position that we find ourselves in. JOHN MATHER

The Heroes of Normandy Death struck deeply into those who waded ashore on June 6, 1944. Struggling to quickly move from their landing craft to the sand of Normandy beach. Burdened by the heavy weight of their equipment, and the sights and sounds around them. Before them lay a terrifying array of obstacles waiting to trap, maim, and destroy anyone who attempted to challenge the terrible might of the nazi occupation of France. Service men and women came from all across Canada. Local militia units like the South Alberta Regiment, South Alberta Light Horse and the Calgary Highlanders were mobilized for active war service. These part-time “Saturday Night” soldiers were busy in their armouries and drill halls, re-

cruiting and training its new members. Some would find themselves “storming Juno beach” on June 6th, while others arrived sometime later, joining the 3rd Canadian Division as they consolidated their foothold on the Normandy coast. The liberation campaign slowly progressed mile by bloody mile across France until Paris was freed on August 25, 1944. In its wake were left countless dead and injured, destroyed towns and cities. Names of places became etched into the memories of the soldiers who fought in battles like Bourguébus Ridge, Carpiquet Airport, Caen, the Falaise “Gap”, Vaucelles, and Verrières Ridge. The campaign to liberate France from its occupiers would end up taking the lives of 5,021

Canadian soldiers. The number of war veterans who fought in the liberation campaign have steadily declined as the years have passed. Fortunately, some of these remarkable old soldiers are still living. They are resilient people who followed a path of duty, endured hardship, faced danger and experienced things we could never imagine. Through the National Order of the Legion of Honour medal program, the Embassy of France in Canada continues to bestow their nation’s highest medal to our veterans who are proudly known as the liberators of France.

Majority of Canadians back carbon tax exemptions for farmers Ryan Kiedrowski Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

A recent Leger poll shows 70 per cent of Canadians back a carbon tax exemption for farmers. The poll collected input from 1,519 people across the nation, aged 18-plus over a two-day period last month. Of the 30 per cent that opposed the idea, half of those respondents noted ‘I don’t know’, while eight per cent somewhat opposed an exemption and seven per cent felt strongly against farmers getting a tax break. The single question posed to respondents explained how the federal government doesn’t collect carbon tax on gas and diesel used in agriculture, but producers pay the tax on natural gas and propane used to heat barns and dry grain. Ultimately, the question sought whether or not they supported removing that tax for farmers. “The poll is clear: the vast majority of Canadians want the government to get farmers relief from the carbon tax,” said Gage Haubrich, CTF Prairie Director. “Canadians know that keeping costs down for farmers helps lower costs at the grocery store for all of us.” Melville-Saltcoats MLA Warren Kaeding said if one of the pollsters called him, he’d share the same sentiments as the rest of the 70 per cent. “I’m fully supportive of the of the same kind of thing, I would add my ‘yes’ to the poll if they polled me,” he

said. “I hope that’s a great reflection of the public now understanding some of the duress that that their ag producers, that their food suppliers are under as well, and how unfair the carbon tax is to them, and ultimately, how it’s being reflected in the food prices. And I think that’s probably what’s driving a lot of that support for agriculture; the public now is starting to wake up to the fact that the carbon tax is responsible for a significant part of the food price increases.” Haubrich noted that seeking an exemption for farmers isn’t only a Western Canada sentiment, people across the country are onside with the idea. “Even in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, it’s still 68 per cent of people are in favour of the exemption,” he said. “So it’s not just traditional farming communities, everyone across the country knows that this is the right thing to do.” According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, farmers could be on the hook for $1 billion by 2030 if no relief comes to fruition. “MPs need to get farmers and families relief now and take the carbon tax off all farm fuels,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Ottawa needs to listen to Canadians and stop charging farmers carbon taxes that make all of our lives more expensive.” With Bill C-234 continuing to languish in Parliament, growing longer in the tooth with each passing day, the

CTF felt keeping the question at the forefront is important. “We haven’t done a poll on this exact question before, but we thought it was really important to get Canadian thoughts in front of politicians on the issue because we’ve seen that Ottawa has been sitting on its hands,” Haubrich told the World-Spectator. “When it comes to getting this bill passed, we got to make sure that politicians in Ottawa know that this is what Canadians want. It’s not just an issue that affects farmers, but it affects everyone.” Bill C-234 saw first reading at the House of Commons back in early February, 2022; finally receiving third reading in March, 2023. It then went before the Senate, taking most of last year to reach third reading in mid-December. After the Senate made their amendments, the bill was tossed back to the House of Commons, and that level has been “considering” those changes ever since. “When it comes to politics in Ottawa, it could really be anything,” Haubrich said when asked what he thinks the big hold-up is on Bill C-234. “We’re just going to do our best to make sure that those MPs know that farmers would save a lot of money if we got this exemption, and Canadians support it.” Further stalling on Bill C-234 will only cause more problems for the governing Liberals, as Kaeding sees it. “If they’re not through on this order

paper, how that process starts again in the fall - and then realizing that there will be a federal election not long after that - where those amendments are if they’re not approved and given final reading, I’m not sure where that leaves them,” he said. The recent federal budget also promised to return some $2.5 billion in carbon tax rebates to small business, but lacked a firm timeline for when those dollars could be anticipated. “Unfortunately, even when it comes to small businesses and farmers, they’re still often paying a lot more in the carbon tax than they’re getting back,” Haubrich said, calling what could be rebated a ‘paltry sum’ in comparison to what’s been paid. Federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbault did not respond to a request for an interview for this article.

Rita Johnson came into town to pick up her belongings and visit a few friends. Unfortunately, I missed her, but she sent greetings via Terry Goulier. Her son accompanied her. Rita is back in Southern Ontario. Alex and Desiree Whittaker bought the house next to them that was for sale by the Village. They plan to demolish it. There was quite a surprise when they went inside. The remains of Dee Schmidt were there in an urn. Her certificate of death, and family photos were also there. Dee passed away in the 90s when she went to Ontario to visit family. Her late husband, Fred passed away a few years

ago. Desiree went on social media and, within 24 hours, found Dee’s family in Ontario. Dee didn’t go out much, but I visited her quite often with my Avon books. She did like her Avon. She had a macaw that often had free-range of the house. He liked to chew the edges of the cupboard doors. She was an interesting person. I am glad that her family will claim her and put her to rest. I met Joe Schellenberg this week. He is the fellow that bought Elizabeth’s place. He has come from Manitoba with his touring bus and several pianos. He tells me he is building a harp. He is a musician. I also met Justina G. (Tina), who has made the old post office a lovely cozy bachelor apartment. She is an accountant working for a firm in Germany. She had a three-month deal to

work from Canada before she must go back to the head office. She left this past weekend. She became friends with Connie Beingessner, right next door, and Connie was able to make a dream come true for Tina when she went horseback riding at Connie’s farm. On Thursday evening the library held another Paint Night fundraiser. This time we painted a desert scene. All eight canvases turned out quite differently. It was held in the lounge at the Valley Inn again. That works out well for everyone. Jayne Odegard was the worship leader this week. There were 14 in attendance, which isn’t too bad for this time of year and a small congregation. Church services end for the summer on June 30. Ben Neraasen spent Saturday in Edmonton with his father, Jose.

Five ladies, all widows, checked out the food at the Valley Inn on Friday. Karin McCracken, Hazel Horkoff, Laura Towers, Donna Chalifoux, and I all enjoyed the food and the company. We do this

about once a month. Sunday afternoon, Donna Chalifoux took Karin McCracken, Trudy Lamoriss, and me to Killam, where we picked up Mary Wold and all went for Chinese buffet. Good food and good

company again. It isn’t very long until Monday, July 1, is here. Are you getting your float ready for the parade? I will be looking for volunteers to take entrance fees at the gate.
