Daysland Grade 3 students raise funds for Ukrainian refugees Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Learning about the Ukraine is part of the regular Grade 3 curriculum, but the Daysland School Grade 3 class had more than Social Studies on their minds as news of the war was everywhere.

As students became aware of the millions of Ukrainian refugees forced to leave the country, they decided they wanted to do something to help.

When they learned that the Camrose Refugee Centre had raised enough money locally to sponsor four Ukrainian families to come to Canada, the class started putting out collection jars throughout the school during the month of April, with a goal of raising $200.

By the end of April, however, the students had raised $795.35. The school says Providence Place helped by also putting out a collection box.

Camrose Refugee Centre’s Becky McCarroll came to the school to accept the donation, also letting the Grade 3 class know what the money would be used for.

Examples she gave were the purchase a plane ticket, or to help the newly arrived families settle in.

“She reinforced to our Grade 3 class that just because they are small, it doesn’t mean they can’t do big things!” says Lori Robbins, Administrative clerk.

Right: Some of the Daysland Grade 3 class who helped with the fundraiser, along with Becky McCarroll from the Camrose Refugee Centre, who accepted a donation of nearly $800 raised by the class.

Expanded battery recycling program comes to Flagstaff Leslie Cholowsky Editor Alberta Recycling recently expanded a pilot program to recycling batteries to include all household batteries from electronics and ePilot materials.

Flagstaff Waste is a participating site for the battery recycling and will also be extending their program.

There are over 500 items with a power cord or battery that are now included in the program.

As of May 1, 2022, registered electronics processors are required to accept, at no charge to collection sites, any and all loose household single use and rechargeable batteries.

These loose batteries will be included in the ePilot collection program. All consumer single-use or rechargeable batteries weighing less than 5 kg each can be recycled.

Single use (non-rechargeable) batteries include lithium primary batteries and alkaline/single-use household batteries.

These batteries are commonly found in watches, car remotes, TV remote controls, and calculators. They don’t belong in the regular garbage, and should be pulled out and saved for recycling.

Rechargeable batteries include Nickel cadmium batteries, small sealed lead acid batteries, nickel zinc batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, and lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries.

These types of batteries are commonly found in cellphones, digital cameras, laptop computers, cordless power tools, toy ride-on vehicles, and other household appliances.

Some batteries, if not handled properly can be a fire

hazard. This is another reason why it’s best if batteries are recycled rather than put in the trash.

Landfill sites across the province have experienced fires and operators have been injured due to improperly disposed of batteries.

Some best practice suggestions are: • Taping over the ends (positive and negative terminals) of each individual lithium battery and button style batteries.

• Separate your taped lithium batteries by putting inside a Ziploc bag and sealing shut.

• Taping off the ends of your lithium and button batteries will ensure that they cannot touch each other to prevent a fire from occurring.

What happens to recycled batteries?

According to Call2Recycle, when batteries are recycled at various processors, valuable metals can be recovered and used into new products such as silverware, pots and pans, new batteries, and even golf clubs.

Reach out to collection.sites@ albertarecycling.ca if you have questions about how to safely recycle your household batteries.

Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Last week, on Thursday, May 18, Flagstaff Victim Services advocate volunteers partnered with fire departments in both Hardisty and Alliance to host two public free barbeques.

Both events were very well attended by each community, and although both events were free, donations collected were far higher than organizers expected.

The first event was held in Hardisty at lunch time, then the team hit the road to Alliance for supper.

Also in attendance at both events was Camrose Women’s Shelter’s Leslie Lindballe, with great information about that organization.

Killam RCMP members also attended both events.

Besides free food, the Flagstaff VSU had lots of information about what they do for victims of crime, and lots of free handouts available

for guests.

Organizer and Flagstaff Victim Services Coordinator Noreen Metz said it was great to get out on the road again for the annual barbeques.

The VSU works closely with RCMP, and their office is actually located within the Killam Detachment.

The event is held in conjunction with Victims of Crime week in Canada, and sponsored by the Dept. of Justice.

UCP Leadership vote nearly split Alberta UCP Party members recently had the opportunity to vote yes or no to the question: “Do you approve of the current leader?”

According to the results reported on Wednesday, May 18, only 51.4 per cent of them said yes.

And while Premier Jason Kenney was reported to have said that he would remain at the helm even if the vote came down to 50 per cent plus one, he surprised everyone by announcing his resignation as party leader just minutes after the leadership review results were announced.

Until a new leader can be elected from within the party, Kenney will act as Interim leader, because he also announced his intention to not seek leadership. An Interim Leader may not run for leadership of the party.

He now joins previous Conservative leaders who resigned mid term, including Ralph Klein, who received 55 per cent of his party’s support, Ed Stelmach, who received 77 per cent of his party’s support, and Alison Redford, who also got 77 per cent of the vote.

Jim Prentice, who led the Conservative party to a massive defeat in the 2015 election, stepped down on election night, to be replaced by Jason Kenney.

My question is can the UCP Party ever agree wholly and by a large majority on a leader?

After a whirlwind engagement, the Wildrose and Conservative parties merged under Jason Kenney in June 2017, with 95 per cent approval from both parties. It was a result which was rather shocking, considering the backlash against Danielle Smith and eight other Wildrose members in 2014 who after crossing the floor to the Conservative Party all lost their reelection bids.

The combined party succeeded in its goal, which was to oust the NDP from power, no longer splitting the vote between the two former parties.

The shiny new party with a shiny new leader seemed destined for longterm success.

The honeymoon was clearly over when former Wildrose leader Brian Jean won a UCP seat this March by essentially stating that Kenney had to go.

But now that the party members won’t have the issue of Kenney’s leadership to fight about, will they be able to agree on anything else?

Whoever leads the UCP party has a tough road ahead of them.

Let’s hope that the leadership campaign will be a positive and respectful one, and that a new leader will be chosen based on their leadership skills, style, and desire to work with Albertans and MLAs alike to make Alberta better.

My worst fear is a campaign filled with accusations and rancour that will only serve to deepen the divisions within the party.

Living well

Self care and massage therapy Many people look at massage as a luxury that one gets when they want to feel pampered. While a good massage will indeed make you feel pampered, which everyone deserves; it is not the only reason to get one. Massage therapy has many benefits.

Studies show that regular massage therapy can help with the following:  Low back pain  Upper back and neck pain  Myofascial pain syndrome  Nerve pain/compression  Soft tissue strains or injuries  Sports injuries  Stress  Injury Prevention  Help heal the body more quickly by breaking down adhesions and scar tissue, thereby increasing mobility in the muscles and increasing blood flow, which helps circulation and thereby raises the amount of oxygen and nutrition to the muscles to help strengthen it  TMD (problems with the jaw and the muscles in the face that control it)  Muscle tension  Menstrual disorders, difficulty conceiving, pregnancy, delivery, post-partum recovery and menopause  Promotion of blood circulation and lymph flow which restore hormonal balance and relieve abdominal bloating and swelling  Anxiety  Digestive disorders  Fibromyalgia  Headaches  Insomnia related to stress What should you expect when you go for massage therapy?

Before your session, the therapist should ask you about any symptoms you are experiencing as well as your medical history. He or she should explain the type of massage and techniques they use.

Typically you will undress (to a level you are comfortable with) or wear loose fit-

ting clothing. You will generally lie on a massage table and will cover yourself with a sheet. The therapist will leave while you undress and redress. You may also be able to receive a massage while seated in a chair, fully clothed.

The therapist should perform an evaluation, to determine where painful and tense areas are and to know how much pressure to use. Oil or lotion is typically used to reduce friction on the skin. If however, you have allergies you should discuss this with the therapist prior to treatment.

A massage usually lasts between 30120 minutes depending on the type of massage you are receiving. You should feel calm and relaxed during the massage. If the therapist is pressing too hard, ask for a lighter pressure. If you have a knot that needs to be worked out it might feel a little uncomfortable but it should not be painful; let your therapist know if it is.

How do you find a massage therapist?

It is a good idea to ask your doctor or someone else you trust to recommend a therapist. You will want your therapist to have the designation of RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) in Canada. You may also want to ask about their training and experience. Find out how many sessions might be advised if you are there for a specific complaint. Ask about cost and whether the treatments are covered by health insurance. Some therapists even offer direct billing if you have private health benefits.

In conclusion, massage therapy can be a very helpful tool in addressing specific health conditions and providing stress relief.

To help wildflowers and pollinating insects when both are in sharp decline. Maybe next year, you'll join me!

BRSD trustees approve Strategic Plan Leslie Cholowsky Editor

At their latest meeting, held April 28, Trustees of the Battle River School Division Board approved their 2021-2025 Strategic Plan.

The plan sets out three main goals for the division over the present term, which are: equity of programming, increasing student enrollment, and engaging stakeholders.

These goals will be applied to four areas of focus: learning, equity, advocacy, and community engagement.

Specific priorities for the coming year include a commitment to gather stakeholder input through surveys regarding attendance boundary review and possible reconfiguration, as well as other topics.

Board Chair Karen Belich and trustee Dwight Dibben recently attended a Battle River Summit in Hardisty, held Friday, May 13, where she said, “Our long-term priority is meeting with other school divisions as well as municipalities in our area.

This is the first step of many to be meeting with provincial, with municipalities, and other school boards, as well as maybe even federal in the coming years.”

Belich also said, “We want to provide an equitable education program to all students, regardless of their needs or where they live, whether they be in urban or rural settings, and we want to increase our overall student population and engage our stakeholders as we work through this progress.

“In the next two to four years specifically we plan to work with all levels of government on issues such as rural sustainability, school sites and safety, and we intend to seek stakeholder input, especially on issues such as the attendance boundaries of schools within our division and develop plans for the future based on the realities and stakeholder priorities.”

The board also put the stamp of approval on four

capital projects in the division, including a new roof for Daysland School, new roofing for the New Norway School, and a twophase upgrade for the Viking School. The four projects have a total cost of $1.74 million.

Two international travel trips by students, proposed by Sedgewick and Forestburg Schools, were approved in principle for next year.

The board also reviewed and set fees for adult students who wish to enroll in BRSD schools next year, as well as for international students who may request to stay in the division.

The board heard the results of the division’s most recent safety audit from Safety Coordinator Edmond Quarcoo. He advised that the division has achieved ‘Certificate of Recognition’ or COR status with WCB for the past several years. This signifies excellent workplace health and safety policies, and results in a reduction to the division’s WCB premiums annually.

The COR designation requires annual audits, as well as a review by an external auditor every three years.

Trustees also heard a presentation from Andrea Dyck, who is the program manager for the Division’s Mental Health Capacity Building Program.

Dyck says that 80 per cent of the programming offered to students is in group sessions that focus on health promotion and preventing mental health concerns.

She told trustees, “The skills and strategies provided can help students succeed in school and throughout their lifetime.”

Dyck had examples from two schools, including Daysland School, where a student-led mental health committee has been formed by student volunteers. The committee is mentored by one of the program’s wellness coaches, and implements mental health awareness and wellness activities.

The other takes place at Ecole Camrose Composite High School. It’s a monthly mental health-focussed lesson for all students in all classes. These

lessons’ topics are suggested by students, school staff, and the wellness team.

The Board also heard that students throughout the division indicated they think there needs to be more awareness of mental health and wellness, less stigma attached to mental health concerns, and additional information for students on how to care for their own mental health.

Dyck told the board, “When students aren’t mentally well it affects every area of their live, including academic success.

“By offering programs that are developmentally appropriate for students of different ages, students are supported in gaining skills that hep prevent social, emotional, and mental health issues from arising.”

Hardisty spring rock hunt on now Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

Well hello folks. Thank the dear Lord that it did not freeze last night because I totally forgot to bring all the flowers in... yikes. That would have been a costly event.

Just like groceries and fuel, the cost of nursery items seems to have risen.

Can we really do without these wonderful greenhouses? Our growing season this far north is so much shorter and we need all those beautiful colourful plants to soothe our souls and keep us smiling, right?

You betcha.

Recently I had a fabulous massage and was going to meet a friend at a Chinese restaurant for lunch.

The massage makes one rather relaxed and I forgot to ask the waitress if any of the five items we shared contained MSG (monosodium glutamate.) Big mistake! After an enjoyable lunch, we headed to a local greenhouse and were busy picking out beautiful flowers.

I was so enthralled with all the plants that I did not pay much attention to my intestines. They were starting to grumble and make noises of protest. I kept shopping and the bowels kept talking, louder and louder. Now I was getting worried because I did not see a sign

for a ladies room anywhere... hmmm. Should I be worried?

‘Surely I will be okay,’ and like a fool kept shopping.

The crowning glory was when I went to pay for my purchases, I realized I had left my cash in the car along with both sets of keys. I was locked out!

Lordie, Lordie I was in trouble now. A kind employee went home to get her husband, who had some tools to get into a locked car.

This gentleman used all his ingenuity to open my car with a coat hanger, that he kept bending into a shape that was able to pull on the knob to open that door. I was in sheer heaven and I gave him a monetary gift that he was refusing but I insisted.

Thank you, you dear soul. You saved me.

The bowels were now raging mad and I furiously got in the car and thought... oh my gosh, where is a public toilet? I remembered the hospital had a bathroom in the entryway, I rushed in and tried the door. Oh no! It was locked.

“Nuts,” I thought, if I have to fill out all these questionnaires to get into the hospital, I might be making a mess. I knocked on the bathroom door and a deep voice said, "occupied." I seriously thought I was doomed.

Suddenly the door opened and a smiling gentleman came out. I wanted to hug him but nature did not allow time

for that. I was never so happy to see that white porcelain throne. Thank you Killam Hospital for having a public bathroom.

I know of other people who have allergies or sensitivities to MSG. It is no joke and makes for unhappy bowels. So remember to ask... is there MSG in this meal? I feel quite safe at Eng's restaurant in Hardisty because we order quite often and they know ...no MSG please!

Shelly and Gary Bromby are grandparents again and Marlene Dion great-grandma again.

Their daughter Melanie and husband Dallan Hampshire welcomed a third baby into the world on May 20. Davis James Hampshire entered this world weighing nine pounds, 11 ounces. What a cute little man. Mel said that this baby completes their family. So congratulations to the whole family from your friends in Hardisty.

The Hardisty Nature Trails are having another Spring Rock Hunt. It started on May 19 and runs till May 29.

Walk the trails and if you find a painted rock, pick it up and take a picture of it with your phone. Post it on social media or text the picture to Shelly @780-888-7676.

You can find maps online for the various trails.

There are many prizes to be had. Remember, only one rock per person. This is just another way to get kids out into fresh air, sunshine, and nature.

There are many volunteers that help with these rock hunts. They find rocks, paint them, place them strategically and then they ask for prizes and organize all that. It is a win-win situation for the kids all around. What would we do without all the volunteers, eh?

Our golden retriever "Rosie" will shortly be one year old. We had hoped to teach her to be an outside dog but at night she feels she must sleep on our black leather couch with a wooly blanket on it.

Her dog house has received a new roof and siding to match our house but that does not entice her at all.

The cat seems to appreciate it more than the dog.

Rosie is such an asset to our family and reminds us so much of our old golden retriever, that went to doggie heaven.

Dogs are so precious.

Not because she's too stupid to learn how but because she's too smart to bother."...hahaha. -Rick Horowitz, Chicago Tribune.

Have a good week folks. Smile, wave, hold a door open, greet a stranger... it is like you are wagging your tail at a stranger, be a good dog!

New manager in Killam at Co-op Food Store Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Raymond Callueng is a new face at the Killam Wild Rose Co-op Food Store, recently taking on the Store Manager position.

commuting from Camrose, where he has been living for a while.

He brings 10 years of food services and retail management, and says he’s always looking for personal growth opportunities, so when he saw the opening for a manager in Killam, he applied.

Callueng says the staff have been very welcoming, and are making it very easy to settle in.

He says he applies that same philosophy to treating employees well to build a strong team.

What does the Flagstaff ASB do?

Various local or government agencies may be viewed as providing minimal services. However, it is often the case that a lot of what they do is not common knowledge. It’s a lot like wetting yourself in a dark suit; you get that warm feeling but nobody notices.

The Agricultural Service Board is a group, under the county, that provides services, but of what sort?

The Agricultural Service Board (ASB) was formed in 1945 as an Act by the Provincial Government. “This legislation assigned specific duties and powers to municipal and provincial partners, while encouraging a cooperative and coordinated effort to develop agricultural policies and programs of mutual benefit.”

Part of the act was the hiring of an agricultural fieldman to enforce the Weed Act and Pest Acts. You must remember farms were smaller then and agricultural producers did not have the tools we have today to control weeds or pests.

As well as enforcing the two acts, the fieldman was also responsible for working with provincial Agriculture department staff. Together, they were to improve the profitability and livelihoods of producers through extension of agricultural knowledge.

As time has passed, more responsibility for public information dissemination has fallen to the fieldman, but the main focus is still to enforce the various acts that affect agriculture.

Agricultural Fieldmen apply the Weed Act, Pest act and Soil Conservation Acts.

They can also be involved in helping with the Animal Health Act, such as when local help is needed with an outbreak of a reportable animal disease (such as avian flu).

ASB boards were also formed to guide the activities of the agricultural fieldman and give grass roots input into needed programs and activities specific to the county.

The ASB board for Flagstaff County consists of three county councilors and four farmer/advisors. This gives the ASB the flexibility to tailor programs specific to the county and address current challenges facing agricultural producers.

The ASB is very active in weed control, trying to limit the spread of problematic noxious weeds and keeping prohibited noxious weeds out of the county. It is an uphill battle but, summer spray programs and weed inspectors try to keep problem weeds under control. A third of county

roadsides are sprayed for weeds annually as well as spot spraying occurring anywhere where noxious weeds raise their flowers.

The ASB also assists Public Works in road recovery by hydroseeding roads after they are rebuilt.

Under the Pest Act, the ASB also has pest inspectors who take part in field surveys for controlled pests as listed in the Pest Act. Clubroot of canola is one such pest. ASB staff annual survey about 200 canola fields in the county for signs of the disease. Once found, pest notices are issued to limit the spread of the disease to surrounding fields.

Some surveys our staff may conduct for Alberta Agriculture include canola diseases, cereal diseases, Bertha Armyworm trapping, pea diseases, and Diamondback moth trapping.

The province provides some funding for ASB programs and, in return, the county ASB provides the ability to survey the entire province for possible emerging and growing pests.

The surveys are vital to understanding the prevalence and spread of registered pests in the county.

At one time, when cultivation of fields was popular, the ASB was very active in promoting reduced and zero tillage.

The County also helps with field windbreak and shelterbelt establishment through partial funding of tree purchases and tree planters available for rent.

We also provide training and educational opportunities for county residents, such as our recent tree pruning course.

The ASB provides these and other services to the public as their part in keeping the agricultural industry healthy and growing.

The Agricultural Fieldman and Assistant Agricultural Fieldman wear many hats but serve the interests of agriculture locally, and on a provincial basis.

If you see needs not being met, of an agricultural nature, please contact the fieldman and let them know.

Now Hiring File Clerk The Village of Ryley is seeking an extremely organized file clerk.

Our team requires assistance with setting up and maintaining manual and computerized information filing systems.

Preference will be given to candidates with prior administrative experience.

This position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

Hours will be as required.

Please send resume with references to: admin@ryley.ca or drop off at 5005-50 Street, Ryley

Busy opening weekend at the track in Forestburg Leslie Cholowsky Editor

From Saturday, May 21, to Monday, May 23, racers from all over descended on Forestburg to burn some rubber and test their vehicles and driving skill on the eighth-mile Area 53 Raceway track.

This weekend saw everything hit the track, from two-wheelers, stock vehicles right out of the dealer showroom, to dragsters, with speeds varying from double digits to 125 miles per hour and more in bracket racing.

Once again, too, it was the group of dedicated Area 53 volunteers who made the event a success, who have worked tirelessly to create and upgrade the track and host fun and successful racing events.

Their next bracket races will be held June 18 and 19.

The pits, where vehicles of all ages and types get ready for their turn on the track.

An eighth-mile is an eye-blink in this dragster.

Green means go for this classic Z28.

A souped up classic Chevy Vega wagon.

The volunteers in the booth have a birdʼs-eye view of the racers as theyʼre calling the cars/drivers and results.

The Challeng-her run by Tracy Donovan.

The best part of volunteering has to be getting to race. Dennis Meyer is all smiles after his run.

Itʼs not the wheel count, itʼs the willingness and desire to race it.

Classic vs. new, as both drivers aim to hit their mark in the time trials.

Sedgewick Museum welcomes all to a pre-season fika celebration Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Tuesday, May 17 was the anniversary of Norwegian Independence Day, a 200-year-old tradition that celebrates two major milestones; the signing of the constitution in 1814, and the dissolution of the union with Sweden for an independent Norway in 1905.

Given the historical ties to many of Sedgewick and district’s first settlers, Sedgewick Historical Society’s Joan Djos thought it would be a wonderful idea to build multiple displays from various Scandinavian countries, and celebrate the upcoming museum season with a fika. A fika is a time to drink coffee

and spend time together with friends.

Djos regaled visitors with stories of fabled Scandinavian creatures, like trolls and the Tomte, and invited visitors to enjoy genuine Scandinavian home-baked goods.

According to Djos, the trolls were tricksters, luring men and women alike to marriage before revealing their true natures.

Djos told the story of the Tomte, who lived on the farm and could only talk to the animals and small children. The Tomte watched over the family farm. She says early stories from local families tell of Tomte that travelled with the family from Norway to their new homes in Canada.

Visitors could browse through the many exhibits featuring Scandinavian objects, while enjoying some delicious baked goods.

Djos says the museum will officially open soon with a grand opening splash, but she wanted to celebrate this special day before the normal season got underway.

Mischievous trolls are the cornerstone of Nordic legends, including magic beings called Troblins, who love to stir up trouble for humans.

Right: This colourful display came directly from the Scandanavian factory where the carved horses are hand painted.

Left: The Tomte of lore protects your farm and household from accidents and disasters, but demands respect. Able to be seen and speak to the farm animals and children only, the tomte is capricious and easily offended, by rudeness or laziness. Local stories say some tomten followed homesteaders from their native land to their new homes in Canada.

Below: The Sedgewick Museumʼs fika last Wednesday, May 17, featured an abundance of home-made scandanavian favourites. Museum displays featured all things Scandanavian to celebrate the heritage of many Sedgewick and district families.

New Holden Rural Academy needs parents to sign up students Kerry Anderson After exchanging their family farm in Didsbury for a farm two miles from Holden in 2001, Karla Janzen had no idea she would be spearheading a movement to bring the first charter school which includes a high school, to Alberta.

Now all they need is a commitment from students.

“We have great programming, we had teachers sending us resumes before we even asked for them (and they are well-qualified, strong candidates), we have the facility, and the government has increased funding for charter schools, but we have not been able to recruit enough students yet,” said Janzen.

This is the final condition needed, and it is tied to funding.

“Potential students seem to be adopting a wait-and-see attitude,” she said. “They are waiting to see what their friends are doing, or they are waiting to see how we do and maybe they'll come next year.”

But she added that there will be nothing to see if they don’t sign up now.

“We are encouraging families to register their students, even if they haven't come to a final decision. They can always change their mind. So if they see our vision, they see the benefit of this kind of education for their kids, and they want it to be a choice for families in the area, they need to sign up.”

Janzen says the Holden Rural Academy website has seen a lot of interest and inquiries, some from students as far as 50 km away. The registration application has been downloaded 93 times but few have actually been returned.

“When we submitted our application, we had 58 students declared, and we projected 70 students for the first year, growing to 100 by year three.

“I have been calling to confirm those students. I haven't made it all the way through the list yet, but I am now down to 48 students with only 14 confirmed as for sure, plus several that are still deciding,” said Janzen.

“We have to present a balanced budget, which we can do with 50 students, but that would still be subject to approval by Alberta Education.”

The communities in Holden and Ryley were surprised in March of 2020, when Battle River School Division (BRSD) made the decision to close the high school, and combine K-9 in Ryley School.

BRSD also closed Hardisty’s Allan Johnstone School at that time.

Ryley School received a their first letter in November 2019, saying that Holden enrollment was low, and there would be some "difficult conversations."

Holden School didn't receive a letter at all, according to Janzen. There were lots of questions,

few answers and everything moved very quickly, she added.

The Village of Ryley Council at the time, directed their CAO to work on finding a solution to keep the high school in the area.

“That's the point at which I joined the project,” said Janzen. “A group of five parents and community members started meeting in November of 2020.

“We worked through the long and arduous application process. We read thousands of pages of research. We held zoom meetings and gathered the required declaration forms during Covid when we could have no in-person meetings, and in the summer went door to door, when it was permitted.

“After many revisions, we were finally given conditional approval on March 21. We had hoped for the end of January, so this put us very far behind.

“We received grants from Beaver County and the Village of Holden to

assist us in getting through the last few hoops,” she said.

“We hired educational consultant, Kevin Van Lagen (principal in the Prairie Land School Division) to evaluate our programming and building.

He said yes to our ideas, and helped us to develop an educational plan. Our team was made up of parents, tradespeople, an engineer, and farmers, but no educators.”

The group received a lot of great input from Van Lagen, whose board is not closing their small schools, and is committed to find ways for rural schools to thrive.

There are only two other rural charter schools: Valhalla (K-9), which has been in operation for 15 years; and New Humble (K-6), which just opened last year.

“We are the first rural charter to offer high school,” said Janzen. “We have had lots of conversations, especially with New Humble since they made this journey most recently.”

Community is what we all need, she said. “The community meets the needs of its people, sometimes in amazing ways and sometimes in clumsy and bumpy ways, but it's our

way.

“We could see that for the school to succeed it needed to partner with the businesses and organizations already in place,” she said.

OBITUARY

John Cornelus Feenstra December 6, 1939 May 19, 2022 John Cornelus Feenstra of Camrose, Alberta (formerly of Landonville, Hanna, F o r e s t b u r g , Drumheller and Ver-

milion), passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at the age of 82 years.

John leaves to mourn his wife of 60 years, Dora; his three daughters, Anna (Bill)

Faith: Good Leadership Our leadership is about to change in our province and I wish our premier the very best in his future endeavors. It is within the scope of the democracy that we live in to look for that ”good leader.”

The fundamental problem is that we as a society and culture are losing the ability to articulate what that means.

How is it we determine “good” and to where do we go to ascertain what goodness looks like. Our floundering within the realms of addressing this fundamental issue has allowed us to cycle through leadership

over the last many elections.

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth. -Leo Tolstoy Luke (18) relates to us in his book that Jesus was addressed by a person of position and influence as “good teacher.”

Knowing the Sanhedrin, the governing legislative body of the first century Israel, was composed of two sects the Pharisees and Sadducees, ostensibly all of them were classed as “teachers.”

Jesus immediately understood the nature of that statement for encapsulated within it is a moral framework

by which one is capable of determining goodness. Indelibly linked to this framework is the reality that God alone remains good and that classing Jesus as good is a comparison with God’s standard.

Jesus wants us to understand there is within our communities and our homes an insatiable appetite for goodness. We search for it, try to define it, put parameters on it, eulogize it, and refurbish it in a manner more, shall I say more palatable to our sensibilities.

The problem is the same, where does goodness come from

and if we go to the source of all goodness will we not find there the answers we long for.

This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16 Pastor Rob Johnson Daysland Alliance Church

The Lougheed Trout Pond campground and trails got some sprucing up on May 14 and 15 when members of the Rural Roots Multi 4-H club came out to help with spring cleanup.

Members of the Trout Pond Society were very grateful for the assistance in getting the park ready for the upcoming season, said member Bruce Bovencamp.

On Wednesday, May 18, the Killam Public School Grade 1 class as well as the Lougheed Playschool students got to watch and help when the pond got restocked with trout.

Bovencamp says, “The kids got to watch and ask lots of questions of our fish whisperer Andrew from Smoky Lake Trout Farms delivered the first 500 fish of two planned stockings this year.

“It was an exciting time for the students!”

Trout Pond spruced up and stocked

Holden Charter School Continued from Page 15

“We wanted to do away with the notion that school's purpose was to get you out of your hometown to do bigger and better things someplace else.

“We also wanted to make high school a place where you are getting ready for your life as an adult, not just an endurance test until you can finally graduate.”

It should be a place where you can try things see what you're good at, and find out what you don't like too, she said.

“We want our school to recognize that each student has a unique path, and do our best to find the right courses,

work placements and connections to people that can mentor and coach them.

“We want our students to find their community worthy of study, to find value and honour in the occupations of our residents, to consider our local stories as important.

“Students can take ownership over complex community challenges, working together to find solutions.

“They are empowered to know they can make a difference.”

When students have to travel out of their community for school, the natural supports that exist in their community are eroded, states Janzen.

“The place-based philosophy of Holden Rural builds relationships between young and old, connects students to adults with

similar interests, and to adults that have skills they want to acquire.

“Students with

strong natural supports are not as impacted by school closures as more vulnerable youth.

The power of a com-

munity that wraps around students to enhance their support system is invaluable.

“Good schools bene-

fit all students, but protection and advocacy for the vulnerable is what we will be measured by.”

Plenty of new faces in Alliance Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. petendia@gmail.com

It is taking a while for the to get back to the farmer's markets. Both Alliance and Castor markets are a little slow. It was very nice to see some babies at the market and folks from Forestburg.

Charlotte Curtis had her collection of ancestry heritage for the County of Flagstaff.

The Women's Institute has a 50/50 cash draw at the market. Donna Chalifoux was the winner of the May draw.

Donna Coombs presented a very informative and even entertaining session on funeral planning at the rec centre on Wednesday afternoon.

Flagstaff Victim services put out a barbecue Wednesday evening at the fire hall. It was very well attended. They had pamphlets and information on the services they

offer, and they also had a draw which was won by my daughter Deb Szoke.

My daughter was up for a few days and we got some painting done and a bit of landscaping as well as some visiting.

I stopped at the house kitty corner to the church to meet new folks Terry Gouliquer and Riita Johnson, the new owners of the Detta house. They have come from Southern Ontario.

Down at the other end of town I stopped in to meet Andy Buchanan, the new owner all of the Norma French Hesslep/ Clark house. Andy has come from Calgary. He works from home and was looking for a nice quiet place to work so he found Alliance.

Carson Ryner led the church service on Sunday. Pulpit supply for the next five weeks are Betty Stoner, Laura Towers, Roger Spady, Paul Reich, and Reverend Steve Haughland on June 26.

That will be a communion service followed by a picnic on the lawn.
