Humboldt Broncos crash survivor shares journey back to mental wellness Leslie Cholowsky Editor To kick off Alberta’s Rural Health Week, Flagstaff County, Flagstaff Healthcare Attraction and Retention Committee, FIRST, FFCS, Gibson Energy, and TC Energy sponsored three events featuring Tyler Smith and local mental health professionals, culminating in a Mental Health Summit at the Killam Community Hall, on Monday, May 27. Smith is a former member of the Humboldt Broncos and is a survivor of the April 5, 2018, Humboldt Bus crash tragedy that killed 16 people and left 13, including him, injured. The first presentation was held at the Daysland School, with students from Forestburg and Sedgewick also attending, with an audience of 320. After that, Smith travelled to Hardisty to speak to the Hardisty Terminal Group, as part of Mental Health Awareness month. There, he was joined by local healthcare professionals Tammy Lang, Donna Tindall, Shirley Damberger, and Karen Bovencamp Manning as part of a local mental health panel, speaking to approximately 100. Then Smith travelled to Killam where members of the health care sector and community supporters took place in a mental health summit, including dinner, with another 125 people. Flagstaff County Reeve Don Kroetch got things rolling Monday evening, by welcoming all and expressing his appreciation for local health care workers in the community. Then Flagstaff Healthcare Attraction and Retention Committee Chair Allen Dietz took the podium. Dietz said, “We offer our deepest gratitude to all the health care professionals that have worked tirelessly to keep our community healthy and safe. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we are profoundly grateful for everything you do.” Dietz introduced two of four videos the committee has produced about healthcare centres in the Flagstaff County region, featuring the Daysland Health Care Centre and the Killam Health Care Centre. He said, “These videos are not just about the facilities themselves, but about the people who make them thrive.” He was followed by a short recorded message by Battle River-Crowfoot MP Damien Kurek. Dietz then introduced FIRST and FFCS Executive Di-

rector Lynne Jenkinson to moderate a panel of local mental wellness professionals working in the Flagstaff County Region, which included Shirley Damberger, founder and owner of HOM of Wellbeing in Daysland and Karen Bovencamp, Registered Counselling Therapist and Certified Human Services Professional in Alberta and a registered psychotherapist qualifying in Ontario. She is also the general family counsellor at FFCS. She next introduced Joanne Stewart, who has been a health promotion facilitator with AHS for 10 years. Next on the panel was Kim Ainsley, Registered Psychologist, and Christina Harvey, a health promotion facilitator with addictions and mental health through AHS. Each panel member brought a wealth of rural experience to the stage. Jenkinson asked panel members to describe what mental wellness services are available in the region, as well as how to access them. She then asked each panelist to describe the biggest barriers to seeking help with mental wellness. The answers included stigma, being too busy in our personal lives to schedule time for mental wellness, and just understanding that mental health is not always something we can see. “Physical and mental health walk hand in hand, think about it that way, and as part of our whole

being, I think we could do better at recognizing that we do need to attend to our whole health,” said Harvey. Other barriers in rural Alberta that were discussed included time constraints, travelling/distance, fatigue and frustration. Stewart talked about a survey presently being conducted by FCSS and FIRST and encouraged people to find it and complete it, either by picking up a survey at FFCS or going online at: redcap.link/MentalWellnessFlagstaffCounty Kroetch took a minute to thank Gibson Energy and TC Energy for their sponsorship of the events before introducing a Kaitlyn Brown from co-sponsor TC Energy to introduce Smith. Smith started his presentation with his own thanks to the health care industry, saying, “I have so much love and respect for you; I truly... I can’t even fathom how these last couple of years have been and you are some of the most selfless people I know. And the fact that you continue to do what you do, taking care of everybody else, is something that I will continually express my gratitude for, because I just appreciate you all so much.” Smith jokingly apologized that his fiancee Katt, partner in his Amazing Race Canada win, wasn’t present, telling Continued on Page 9

Killam Council to review motorized scooter use within town Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Killam Town Council has declared May 19 to 25 as Public Works Week, and held a public barbeque on Monday, May 27, at the town shop to honour public works employees. Council also proclaimed June 3 to 9 as Senior’s Week, hosting Seniors Coffee events throughout the week at local restaurants. At the regular meeting of Council on May 16, Council passed the 2024

Tax Rates Bylaw, with just under a one percent increase in Residential and Non-Residential taxation rates (0.9 per cent) over 2023. Alberta Education and Seniors Housing requisitions increased in 2024 over 2023 as well, with the overall difference of 0.1424 mills for residential and 1.3742 in non-residential. Residential assessments increased by $1.26 million, and non-residental assessment decreased by just over $20 million (mostly due to the Killam Krossing being non-oper-

ational). Total taxes are determined by multiplying the mill rate to the previous year’s assessment values. Council also reviewed its cemetery policy, where it clearly defined the types and sizes of monuments allowed. A monument permit must be obtained by the town prior to any installation. Council asked administration to review the Town’s Traffic Control Bylaw to add a section for motorized scooters. After receiving a request to ban

motorized scooters, Council chose instead to put policies in place regulating the use of scooters within town limits, also adding a process for those scooters operated in an unsafe manner. The Town has had a couple of beavers trapped and removed from the Centennial Park campground area this spring, as the animals were building dams and causing water damage issues along the parks areas. The Town is in the process of completing its

disc golf course, with all seven “holes” located around the Centennial Park ball grounds and campground.

The town is waiting for signage to arrive and be installed. Discs will be available for sale through Continued on Page 7

Exciting baseball action at local diamonds Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Local diamonds are heating up this week as both Men’s baseball leagues start hitting their strides. Last Wednesday, May 22, saw the Astros at home taking on Macklin, where the Saskatchewan crew left with an 8-5 win. Czar travelled to Provost, coming away with a 3-0 win, while the Killam Braves hosted the Veteran Bulls, where the Bulls left with a 14-4 win. On the Braves’ side, Landon Kelndorfer started, pitching the first three innings, Keegan McArthur stepped onto the mound for the fourth inning, and Chase Rombough pitched last two. Braves highlight was a diving catch on a hard line drive by right fielder Tyler Krys. This year’s Braves lineup is: Dean Brodie, Brett Borth, Landon Kelndorfer, Kailum Grove, Landon Eskra, Brandon Niehaus, Craig Borth,

Aidan Borgel, Tyler Krys, Kyler Bergseth, Keegan McArthur, Chase Rombough, Branston Freadrich, and Clay Lang. After two games, Macklin and Czar remain undefeated, in a tie for first place, and there’s a three-way tie for second, between Killam, Amisk, and Veteran. Viking and Castor postponed their game from last week, leaving them with one loss each from week one of the season, while Provost has lost both of its games. Week three action in the BRBL will take place this Wednesday, May 29, with Castor at Amisk, Provost at Veteran, Viking at Macklin, and Czar at Killam; first pitch goes at 7 p.m. In the Powerline Baseball League, the Rivals beat the visiting Vegreville Blue Jays last Wednesday, May 22, with a 3-2 final. The next evening the Rosalind Athletics crushed the Armena Royals in a 12-0 win. The Rivals travelled to Tofield on Tuesday, May 28, to take on the

Braves, and will be back home tonight, Wednesday, May 29, to host the Camrose Roadrunners. On Thursday, May 30, Rosalind will host Vegreville. Saturday, June 1, will see the Rivals playing against the Rosalind Athletics in Daysland, with first pitch scheduled for 6:30 p.m. The game is being held in Daysland as part of Daysland’s Minor Ball Day, and will be announced by Mickey Heisler. Minor ball action will start at noon in Daysland with U7 Rally Cup. On Monday, June 3, the Rivals are back at home against the Armena Royals. The Rosalind Athletics are leading the league with a 3-0 record, with Armena and the Rivals vying for second place with two wins and one loss each. Vegreville has a game in hand, with one win and one loss on the books, while Camrose has one win and four losses, and Tofield has three losses on the season thus far.

Daysland cockatiel goes on an unplanned adventure Celeste Ewan Daysland & Area E. daysland.ab.news@gmail.com

This week Daysland had one of its own go missing over the weekend, local pet celebrity “Pepper” the cockatiel had an adventure of her own. Pepper can often be seen perched on her owner (Tito’s) shoulder walking down Reist Drive and other streets in Daysland on sunny days. With her bright yellow colours, it is hard to miss this “out of the ordinary” sight of these two going about their errands happily unbothered by traffic, dogs, or other daily noises in our small town. However, Saturday morning, May 25, at about 11 a.m., Tito and Pepper were out for a walk when Pepper suddenly spread her wings and glided onto a bush in the treed area and followed suit going deeper and deeper into the trees. No small feat for a bird with clipped wings, meaning Pepper can’t fly, but she can glide. At one point during their rescue mission, Tito climbed a tree in hopes of being able to coax Pepper down or catch her, unfortunately Tito fell out of the tree in trying to do so and again

Pepper was off and after hours of searching and the night settled in, the family had no choice but to go home for the night and try again tomorrow. Tito set out some of Pepper’s favourite treats with a cage near where she escaped hoping it may lure her home again. Tito’s mom Emily posted on the local facebook pages about Pepper's disappearing act, which ended up paying off when the following day, Sunday, May 26, at about 4:30 p.m., a young family was out for a bike ride on

the trail behind Tito's home and spotted Pepper! The mother called Emily, Emily wasn't home, but Tito was, and was anxious and excited about the call and quickly went to retrieve Pepper. I'm happy to report that Tito was ok after his fall from the tree, and Pepper after a day and a half at large is now safe at home with Tito’s other five birds. Tito really enjoys birds and as mentioned is the proud owner of six, two cockatiels (Jack and Pepper), they are seven

months old and have been with Tito for two months. The other four birds are budgies. However, Pepper is just a little different from the other five and is very calm, tame, and docile which makes it that much easier for Tito to take her for walks and show her off. I do hope Pepper’s latest adventure doesn't hinder her from touring the town as seeing the two of them always brings a smile to my face and has become a sight I look forward to seeing. ‘Til next week.

Report all crimes, no matter how small Killam RCMP Corporal Jeremy Houle encourages residents to always report Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Cpl. Jeremy Houle, acting commander at the Killam RCMP Detachment, says it’s important to report all crimes, no matter how small, or whether or not you think it will make a difference. He says that by reporting all crime, RCMP can get a true picture of criminal activities in the area. “A suspicious vehicle parked in one community might be linked to another crime.” He says all reports are used for Killam RCMP to direct resources and concentration. “We can focus our attention on that. We can be more pro-active than reactive.” But there’s another reason why reporting all crime is especially important to the Detachment, and that’s statistics. Houle says that detachment staffing numbers are partially based on the amount of crime in the area. “Crime reporting statistics report the true criminal activity in the area.” He says it’s just one of many factors, but an important one. Also, he adds, as the Detachment, as part of the RCMP’s rural reactive strategy, starts adjusting shifts and doing callouts for overtime, the actual crime statistics for

Houle would like to remind all Flagstaff County and Amisk residents not to engage with criminals themselves, but to call police, using 911, if they see a crime happening. “We are more prepared for the unknowns of confronting and apprehending suspects.” Houle says property crime in the Killam Detachment area is fairly consistent over the last year, and says that crime reports allow police to see different crime concentrations and act accordingly. He says the more evidence police can gather to prove a charge, the stronger a case against an accused can be. Killam Detachment is one of many around the province also using a new ‘pre-charge assessment’ protocol, where police work directly with a specialized crown prosecutor team before charges are laid. “Once an allegation is established and we have enough information to lay a charge, the crown can help with what charges should be laid, and what parts of a charge can be strengthened with more evidence or investigation.” Houle says that Killam, Viking, Provost, and Coronation Detachments all have this procedure in place. “There’s an advantage in having that court advice from experienced prosecutors before charges are laid.

the region help to justify that expense. “When I call for more resources or specialized resources and the reporting isn’t there, I have a harder time justifying why they are needed.” Houle says for those who are reluctant to make a report in person, or call the dispatch line, there are ways to report crime online, using the RCMP app. The app, which is available for Apple and Android phones and devices, also has the ability to report criminal activity. If you don’t want to use an app, you can use the online tool located at: ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/alberta/en You can also provide anonymous and secure tips by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477), texting TIP202 + your message to "CRIMES" (274637) or by Secure Web Tips. He says members are encouraged to respond to every single report, “The investigative avenue for each file might differ, but it’s important that it be recorded.” When reporting any crime after the fact, Houle says it’s important to provide as much detail about what happened as possible, including call back information. Include information on any suspicious persons or vehicles leading up to the incident that might be relevant.

“It can also strengthen cases that are brought forward, and conviction rates. “That increases member’s morale, too. We’re doing our job to bring convictable charges forward to the court process.” He says it’s important for the public to know that even if RCMP are not in their communities daily, “They are still working hard.” Even though it seems like property crime is on the increase, he says the numbers are fairly steady, but that it moves around, and appears to come in waves. Houle says the last “Coffee with the Cops” session will take place in early June, and that he feels like they’ve been quite successful. He says attendance has been pretty consistent across the region, and hopes that in some cases, having the opportunity to speak to members has opened a few eyes. Once the last Coffee with the Cops is completed, he says he’s planning to hold a town hall in the region, for those who didn’t get an opportunity to attend one of the coffee sessions. Houle feels like it’s an important part of policing to be present in the communities, and he and other Killam members are working hard to get around the Killam Detachment area as much as possible.

Humboldt Broncos bus crash survivor and Amazing Race Canada winner talks about his road to mental wellness Continued from Front a story about a presentation he’d made in Guelph, Ontario where a young audience member expressed her disappointment that he had not brought her to his presentation there. Smith said, “I never thought I’d be here sharing my story. I never thought I’d be vulnerable on stage in front of a group of people, but I’ve really come to understand over the past couple of years that people are really struggling and I now appreciate that there’s a lot of power in a story.” He revealed that his birthday was the next day, and received an impromptu ‘Happy Birthday’ serenade from the crowd. Smith said there’s a couple of main things that he’s learned over the past few years about human beings, “As human beings we are very quick to diminish our own story. And I can assure you that there are a lot of you in this room who have done that.” He talked about his parents, and parents in general, taking the burden of diminishing their own stories in favour of their children. “I really aim for just one person in this room to acknowledge their story after today. I want you to start thinking differently; about community, about being a leader, about people, about compassion, about empathy. I want you to start thinking differently about these little things.” Smith talked about how he tries to be as authentic as possible during his presentations, saying all he had was his story, “That’s what I have, but I know, after these six years and everything I’ve learned, is how we can connect with people.” He said he’d connected with so many people over the last six years by finding common ground, “Finding that thing that works for you.” He says he often gets asked, “Why do you keep doing this?” and his response is, “It’s selfish, really. I want you to acknowledge that day. I want you to acknowledge the people that we lost that day. “I know that you have so much love and support, but it’s still a selfish answer that every time I talk, I really want people to acknowledge that day.” He said it’s his fervent hope that those hearing his presentation go home and have a conversation, one that’s needed, about their mental health. Smith talked about his deep relationship with his mother, and how he is in a daily group chat with her and his brother, where every single night she says, ‘Good night, I love you,’ to him and his brother. “It’s simple, but it keeps that connection strong and it keeps our connection alive. That little thing helps.” He says his dad is the strong, silent type. “My dad lost his leg many years ago, and has spent my entire life as an

amputee, but that never defined him; it was just the way it was, we didn’t think anything of it.” He spoke of having a close relationship with his older brother, too. Smith talked about being a people pleaser, always making sure everyone else is having fun, and how he had to learn to take time to make sure he was okay on his healing journey, where he never had before. Smith talked about his opportunity to play hockey, also giving a nod to local player Travis Child, who he played with. He talked about the realization that his parents sacrificed a lot to let him play hockey. “I got to do what I loved.” He chose junior hockey, but says things didn’t really work out for him on his first team in Drayton Valley. He said, “My role was in the dressing room. I was the ‘glue guy.’” He said he knew that was a role he had to take a lot of pride in. He talked about having to deal with a lot of rejection before that. Smith says he called coaches throughout the country trying to find a team before landing a spot with the Broncos. He talked about Humboldt, and what a special place it was. “I want to tell you about that team. I will always compare any group I’m with with that team. That group was built up of individuals from across western Canada, and each brought something different, and that was appreciated every single day.” He said he has a tattoo on his right forearm that says, “It’s a great day to be a Bronco, gentlemen,” something that coach Darcy Haugen would come in and say every day. “Darcy did such a good job of ingraining that message in us. We knew that we had to devote ourselves to that great community.” He said the term “Family first,” came to mean their hockey family, their team. He talked about what a great foundation Haugen built in the players, and talked about how close the team was, making a point of being together as much as possible. Smith painted a picture of a very close-knit and supportive group of people, whose lives, including his, were forever changed on April 6, 2018, when a tragic accident resulted in the loss of 16 members of the organization, and another 13 injured, including himself. Smith had a broken collarbone, shoul-

der blade, two ribs, punctured lung, nerve damage to his left arm, and suffered a stroke in the crash. Smith says he has no memory of the crash at all. He talked about the events of the day of the crash, and some unusual things that happened. But of the crash itself, he can’t remember, no matter how hard he’s tried. While recovering from his injuries, he was determined to keep his pain and thoughts inside. He says he thought he was being kind to his friends, remaining teammates, and family by not sharing his pain, but instead trying to bolster them. He says he never wanted to put his friends in the position to have to pity him. “Why would I do that to them? “You have all these people around you giving you so much love and support. It’s what got me through the hardest days, and there were a lot of hard days.” He talked about wanting to go to his teammates’ funerals, but being stuck in the hospital. He talked about having survivor’s guilt. “Horrible. I remember thinking, ‘There are far better people that we lost that day; so why am I still here?’” He talked about coasting through life, avoiding a mental confrontation that he needed. As soon as was medically possible, Smith rejoined the Broncos, on a new team, feeling like it was something he needed to do. “I’m a man, I’m tough, I’m a hockey player. I put blinders on, and my focus became getting back in physical shape to play, hoping that the mental and emotional wellness would trail behind. Nope. That’s not how it goes.” He thought he needed to play to honour everyone who was killed or injured that day, and to support the Humboldt community. He said it meant so much to be back, but while he craved the settings, he wasn’t seeing the faces he wanted to see. Smith says it was incredibly hard, and it finally hit him that he needed to heal before he’d be ready to continue on the team, so he made a decision to leave, and continue his recovery at home. When he made the decision to leave, his billet mother said to him, “I hope you get help.” He realized that he needed help that day. “I didn’t want to lose my people, because if I lost them,

Monday night’s Mental Health Summit featured a panel of local mental wellness experts.

then what would I have? “I tried so hard to bottle everything up and put it on the back burner and wait for something to happen, but it was affecting all my relationships.” Smith talked about going to therapy for the first time, how his therapist created a space for him where he was not alone; where it was okay to cry and to struggle with his emotions, and to be vulnerable. “Everything was right here, just waiting to get out.” He talked about meeting his fiance, who he says is very open about her own mental health and shared with him how making it a priority takes strength and courage, not shame and fear. He says there’s no right or wrong way to do it, but taking that first step is what you need to do. Smith also talked about how he struggled with the memories of his lost teammates, and how he searched for signs that they were still around him, but that he was so tied up with his own grief he didn’t see them. He talked about honouring the first anniversary of the crash, by having his mom gather 16 balloons to honour the 16 people he’d lost, and while he was writing a message in each in preparation of releasing them, one of them popped. His mother said, “He’s just messing with you,” and that’s when Smith says he realized that there were signs all around him. He started noticing odd formations of rabbits and birds, and attributed those sightings to messages from his lost friends; his people. Smith said “Grief is one of the most profound forms of love you can experience; to have loved and to have lost.” Smith talked about the importance of sharing your struggles with the people around you, even if it’s just that you’re having a bad day. “That opens the door to them sharing their struggles with you, and for you to support one another.” He talked briefly about his time on Amazing Race Canada and some of the struggles he had physically and mentally while going through that process. He said remembering who he was doing this for gave him the strength to continue. After Smith’s presentation, Jenkinson and Sue Freadrich of FFCS presented him with a birthday gift, a rabbit sculpture.

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. We have planned a barbeque with hotdogs, hamburgers and beverages. We will do our best to host you in the way that our Dad would have. I am pretty sure he would approve.

The Flagstaff Scottish Club had five instructors come and join them during their recent introduction and refresher workshop. They practiced hard! While the rain kept them indoors that weekend, they had two more people join the band. One from Forestburg and one from Camrose. I'm sure we all look forward to hearing them play at one of their upcoming events this summer! The Iron Creek Museum’s Pop Up Greenhouse had its last day on Sunday, May 26. As always all the volunteers appreciate the support as all funds go towards upkeep for the Iron Creek Museum. The $30 gift certificate winner was Marge Gausvik. While on the topic of flowers, a huge thank you to Hennie

Bernard who has been doing the flowers for the Sedgewick Cemetery for several years. I'm sure we all enjoy their sight when going by or visiting a loved one. Thank you, Hennie and Brian! When upgrading your phone, be aware that there are many organizations that can benefit from your old device. For example the Flagstaff Victims Services as they use them for victims of domestic violence. All phones can dial 911 regardless of phone plans or not. They need phones with accompanying chargers if possible, and phones that can turn on and hold a charge. Your support is appreciated! Drop off any old devices you may have at the RCMP station in Killam or contact a Victim Services volunteer. The Lynx Soccer Club, which consists of Lougheed, Alliance, Sedgewick, and Killam kids, had their first tournament on the weekend. Vermilion put on a two day

Hardisty gearing up for town-wide events in a few weekends Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

Well hello folks. Hope you are enjoying this wonderful spring weather and you are busy buying all your plants for your gardens. These last weeks in May and early June are always nail biters. You pray you have not put your plants out too soon and we don't get a dreaded late frost. Keep your fingers crossed. I have purchased most of my plants except for some tomatoes. On Monday my neighbour, Lori G., was kind enough to share some of extra greenery and flowers, so I should be able to fill our rock garden. This generous lady and her man Ed have a yard that should be pictured in some elegant magazine. It is just stunning! I would probably never get any work done because I would keep sitting down and sipping on another coffee, while I took in the scenery and listened to the music of all the birds in the trees. The yard is sheer heaven. Thank you Lori. My oldest nephew and his fiancee are getting married in a few weeks. What to give a couple in their thirties who

probably have everything? Well, I had an answer. I was digging through my gift cupboard and came upon a gorgeous quilt that I bought at one of the churches Spaghetti Supper and Auction. It was a quilt created by Lana Love. Lana is a neighbour that is a young senior, a grain farmer, and mother to three grown children. I was pretty pumped, so I decided to visit Lana and find out how she became enamoured with quilting. Well Lana had a wonderful mother-in-law named Olive Love. She realized that a busy mom needs time to socialize and spend some quality time with other ladies. What a smart woman Olive was. Lana was able to take a quilting course and started her love with fabric after the course, "Quilt in a day" in Hardisty. You guessed it, she was hooked. Lana gave me a fantastic tour of the numerous quilts she made and there was a story to each one of them. Her handiwork was impressive and tastefully draped over beds, chairs, couches, and in a big cupboard for safekeeping. Just so you know quilting is an inexpensive art. No! No! Just purchasing a quilt kit can easily cost you $260 to $360 and that does

not take in your time. Many quilters get their quilt finalized by a long arm quilter, which is another added cost and some do it all themselves. By now you have probably realized I am not a quilter, but darn it I do appreciate the beautiful art work that you ladies produce. So thank you to Lana for allowing me to share her art and hope the love birds will make whoopee under the beautiful quilt and I can get a baby quilt sent to them in nine months. Tee hee. I did a little research on Google on the history of quilting. The quilt goes back in history into the 13th century in England. Quilting in Canada had it's beginnings in the 1600s. That is when European settlers first came to Canada and brought the traditional art of quilting with them. Canadian settlers planted flax to make linen, thread, and fabric. Later they started raising sheep for wool. If the women ran out of fabric they had to wait for shipments to arrive from Europe, so they repurposed scrap fabric from their projects. This made patchwork quilts easy and popular. Women started holding quilting bees, which became social gatherings with a purpose.

The invention of the sewing machine made life much easier for quilters. In our modern times quilting is not usually done out of necessity, but for the love of the art of fabric and design. These fabric artists need extreme patience, strong fingers, fabulous scissors, eagle eyes, an eye for design, colour, and a great light. Good friends for critique and a few libations

really help the time pass with all the lady friends. Quilters are fabulous! Maybe one day I will try quilting, but for the moment I am still a scrapbooking person. Remember June Crone's funeral on Saturday, June 15, will now be held at the large Community Hall in Hardisty. Remember our townwide garage sale on Saturday, June 8, and the

pancake breakfast at the Elk’s Hall along with a bake sale and Slip’n Bloomer sale. Please read the classifieds for more information. "Imagination is more important than knowledge," Albert Einstein. "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," Ralph Waldo Emerson. Have a fantastic week folks and please call me with any news. Thanks.

Hardisty Library accessibility project finally complete Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Hardisty Library recently celebrated the last project completion for their accessibility upgrades, a set of new stairs leading to the main entrance. Library Manager Kelly Barker says, “We were able to complete this project because of a Helping Hands grant from Vision Credit Union.

“These new stairs make is so much easier to enter. The old stairs were just wood and the handles and railing were too awkward for patrons to handle. “Now we are totally accessible with both the new stairs out front and the wheelchair accessibility at the side.” The Library Board has erected a new sign acknowledging all the community members and groups who contributed in any way to the project.

Left: Hardisty Library Manager Kelly Barker (left) with Vision Credit Union representatives Maggie K, Paige P. and Lori M, along with town councillor and library board member Christine Ruzicka-Drager, in front of the new library steps.

Planting gardens in Alliance Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. petendia@gmail.com

Wednesday afternoon will be the celebration of life for Doreen Bullee. It is in the Community Hall. Elizabeth sent a message that she has arrived safely in Budapest. The new owner of her place has his bus and a trailer parked out behind, but I couldn’t get an answer at the door when I called with his welcome bag. The Bench Fair is coming up in August. That is only weeks away. There are entry books at the library. Another Paint Night is scheduled for Thursday, May 30, It is still $35 and I think it is a desert scene this time. The ostrich was so fun to do, even when I thought it was a silly picture. I am rather fond of my friendly little fellow now. Paint Night is a fundraiser for the library. Rev. Stephen Haughland did the communion service and Rose Marie Wickstrom did the lunch. Diane Dammann was finally home and in church on Sunday. I did my BC road trip from Sunday, May 12, to Wednesday, May 22. We took the Chevy motorhome, put 3,400 kms on, and visited 28 people. Bob Cyr certainly saw a lot of BC, which was the object of all the kilometers. We went over the Rogers Pass twice and Strathmore to Banff twice, but all of the other roads were one way only. We covered the Yellowhead up to Clearwater, across from Little Fort to 100 Mile House, down the Cariboo and the Frazer Canyon to Richmond, Vancouver, and then back on the

Coahuila, to Merit, across to the Okanagan, up to Vernon, then across to the West Kootenay, and then the Rogers Pass, and down to Radium in the East Kootenay, then Banff, and home again. I visited both my brothers as well as many friends. It was a great trip. At the Farmer’s Market last week, the draw was made for the baskets that the Garden Club was raffling. Trudy Lamoriss won the big one and Cindy Spady was the winner of the second basket. These were really lovely baskets. The Women’s Institute (WI) 50/50 was won by Rose Marie Wickstrom. The Community Garden Club has over a dozen lovely raised garden beds at the Gathering Place (old school grounds) and I understand there are only two

that aren’t spoken for. Some are already planted. On Thursday morning some members of the WI went to the garden and planted petunias around the sign. Next Thursday we will tackle the perennial garden. Hey, we are old and have to pace ourselves. Happy Birthday to Aaron Bullee on Sunday, May 26. Ben Neraasen turns 10 on Friday, May 31. He had a Nerf Wars party at the park on Saturday. The Nerf Wars is a kit that can be borrowed from the library and since his mom is Library Manager, it made perfect sense. Bill and Phyllis Alcorn marked another wedding anniversary on the Monday, May 27. That day was also 10 years since my sister-in-law, Eleanor Kuefler passed and Thursday, May 23 was nine years since

Brenda Wiart was among us. Wednesday, May 8, is 35 years since David Dammann died. Time does go quickly. At 3 a.m. on Saturday, May 18, I managed to attend by Zoom a meeting of the Associated Country Women of the World Coordinators meeting on my phone in the motorhome. That is pretty good for a senior to be able to do that techy stuff, isn’t it? There were two from Australia, three from Kenya, one from New Zealand, three from USA, five from England, one from Wales, one from Liberia, and nine Canadians. With all of the different time zones involved that is why I was on at 3 a.m. We are concerned with women’s representation and rights, food waste and sustainability, and the changing climate.

Reading University won’t come in-person to Flagstaff Leslie Cholowsky Editor

After the Battle River School Division (BRSD) announced that it would not be holding an in-person Reading University Program in Flagstaff County this summer, the board of the Battle River Community Foundation started a fundraising effort to provide additional funds to the Division to extend the program to Flagstaff. However, BRSD Director of Learning Patrick Whittleton says funding is not the primary reason why the program isn’t being offered in the region. “It’s kind of a good news/bad news situation,” he explains. “The bad news is that we don’t have the numbers registered to offer the program in-person in Flagstaff County. “The good news, is that our numbers are down because of the new literacy in-

RCMP Report Continued from Page 10 the Petro Pass in Hardisty. Front gate was driven through, front door smashed. A truck and fencing equipment stolen. File still under investigation. Numerous reports of a suspicious grey Nissan parked in Hardisty. Vehicle was parked in a no parking area. Member attempted to contact the Registered Owner without success. Vehicle towed for police investigation. A break and enter was reported from an

tervention program we’ve instituted in our schools. “The number of children needing literacy intervention via the Reading University program has dropped drastically over the past four years, and are markedly improved from just 10 years ago.” Whittleton says the new BRSD program was introduced as an intentional intervention when literacy scores dropped after COVID, for Grades K through 6 and even some Junior High students. “But we now have an amazing number of students at the benchmarks for their grades in reading. “My goal is not to need the Reading University program anymore. It’s a great thing if we don’t have to send children back to school in the summer.” However, Whittleton says the Reading University program is “amazing,” and has proven results year after year.

There are 39 children registered for the in-person program this summer to be held in Camrose, and he’s waiting to finalize numbers in Tofield. He says in Flagstaff, there is a small number of students interested in an online program. “I’ve had in-person feedback about the program from families of participants, and it’s truly a wonderful opportunity, and an excellent program.” He says he’s shared information about the program to teachers in other jurisdictions who had not heard of it and didn’t have the access that the Battle River Community Foundation has provided for BRSD students. “We are so blessed that the Foundation has brought this to our Division. “But we are seeing real results from our intervention programs. Our teachers have done an amazing job in literacy and numeracy focuses.”

Imagine, he says, a Grade 4 teacher next year will have a class of 22 students at grade level in reading, and they can just pick up and go right off the bat. Whittleton says that Grade 3 is the accepted benchmark level for literacy. “If they aren’t reading by then, they just get further and further behind.” Whittleton says the Division is working on compiling literacy levels for its students and will be releasing the results in the next few weeks. In the meantime, he will be meeting with the Battle River Community Foundation Board to review the Reading University program and plan for future offerings. “We will put it out there, and if there’s a desire from students to have this in person program available next summer, we’ll hopefully have the resources in place to offer it in Flagstaff County again.”

Sedgewick School celebrates the arts with its own Fringe Festival

Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Central High Sedgewick Public School celebrated the arts last Thursday, May 23 at its third CHSPS Fringe Fest. The first festival was held in 2019, paused during COVID, then picked up again in 2023. Students from all grades displayed their art works, showing an amazing array of subject matter, colour, and a lot of talent. The event included an art walk, poetry, project displays, and even had face painting and crafts for its youngest visitors. Food was provided by the CHSPS High School Foods Class, and the event also featured live music and vocal per-

formances from a few students. Members of the Battle River Art Club were in attendance, including past president Leola Forster, who displayed some of her works, and created a ‘Make your Mark,’ station for visitors which was very popular. After the Fringe, the CHSPS Drama Club presented ‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,’ a one-act play. CHSPS Teacher Trish Ryan says, “I was grateful to see the community participation and engagement. The idea is to provide a space to celebrate creative expression in a variety of ways. When we open ourselves up to collective expression, the hope is that we embrace a wider audience and authenticity for our art. We're building a community space where we can play, with purpose.”

Sedgewick School held its third Fringe Festival last Thursday, May 23, celebrating the arts. Visitors were encouraged to ‘Make their Mark,” as they entered the commons area, where displays of incredible student artwork were set up, including that from Art 10-20-30 classes, below right. The event also featured some live music from a few of the students, and ended with a play.

Alberta Legislative Report: Historic water agreements George Lee Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

The following is a rundown of some Alberta Legislature news and discussion as arranged by Legislative Reporter George Lee. GOVERNMENT TARGETS EDUCATION STUDENTS WITH $1.7 MILLION IN PROGRAM SUPPORT Provincial funding will allow an intake of education students to maintain their rural bonds while taking bachelor’s degree classes, the legislative assembly heard May 15. Martin Long, the UCP member for West Yellowhead, said funding worth $1.7 million means more students in rural, remote or Indigenous communities can do most of their studies from home. The arrangement will allow

them to continue working and living beyond the big city. “Alberta’s government is helping address the challenges of recruitment and retention,” said Long, the parliamentary secretary for rural health. “This is critical for the success of the province’s education system, because we know that when students can study closer to home, they’re more likely to remain in their community after they finish their education.” The University of Calgary receives more than $1 million for 35 students in a community-focused program. Meanwhile, the University of Alberta’s Aboriginal Teacher Education Program receives more than $700,000 for 24 students. SURVIVING EVACUATIONS:

MLA GIVES THE DETAILS If you’re forced to evacuate because of a wildfire or other emergency, be sure to make use of the services available to you. That’s the message Nicole Goehring, the NDP member for Edmonton Castle-Downs, sent to her fellow Albertans via the legislative assembly May 15. “Our hearts go out to those in this province who are facing the threat of wildfire season, especially those who have gone through this before and are experiencing trauma or painful memories from previous fire seasons,” said Goehring. Those evacuated for seven days or more may be eligible for financial assistance and should call the 24-hour Emergency Income Support Contact

FAITH COLUMN Does everything really happen for a reason? I have been dealing with grief lately as I move through the second anniversary of my dad’s death, and I was reminded how people often share things they intend as “comfort,” but really are often anything but. Like telling someone who is grieving a loved one that “everything happens for a reason.” I do not find that comforting (if you do, great, all the power to you, but if you struggle with it like me – keep reading). I cannot justify/align the unconditional love of

God and the unlimited grace of Jesus Christ, that are the foundations of my faith, with the level of manipulation required to try, test, and push each of us to the limits of what we can handle. Humanity was given free will and our choices, as individuals and as communities impact others. Sometimes the hard we face has nothing to do with how righteous (good) we are, which church we go (or don’t go) to, and more about human choices – many which we have no con-

trol over. Where God comes in for me is knowing that no matter what I am going through – I am loved. No matter the mistakes I have made – grace is mine. And that as a faithful person I am called to do the same as best as I can. May love and grace get you through any hard times that may come your way. May you find a faithful community that offers that to you.

UCP MEMBER LAUDS ALBERTANS FOR HISTORIC WATER AGREEMENTS Whether you’re turning on your tap in Edmonton or setting sprinklers in the southeastern corner of the province, water access is critical to life and success in Alberta. But as the threat of drought looms, the Alberta government is making the most of a difficult situation through historic watersharing agreements signed last months, the UCP’s Garth Rowswell told his fellow members of the legislature May 15. “All Albertans, particularly those in rural communities, should be concerned about the variability of water supply,” said Rowswell, the member for Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright. “Not only can this impact our ability to get water supplied to our homes and communities, but in a drought this can have a severe impact on farmers and industries that we rely on tremendously.”

Many rivers have lower water levels than usual, and many reservoirs are below capacity, Rowswell said. “This is a real concern for my constituents after several dry years and El Niño causing a warm and dry winter across the country.” The largest water-sharing agreements in Alberta’s history rose from months of negotiations between the with major water users, Rowswell said, calling the result “one of the most proactive responses to this concern that I have ever seen.” The agreements allow Alberta to get the most from a limited and prioritized water supply if a drought strikes the province, he said. He also pointed to a drought response plan and $125 million in funding over five years for a drought and flood protection plan. “As is always the case in difficult times, I’m proud to see Albertans come together to tackle these challenges. This is precisely what makes Alberta the best place in the world,” said Rowswell.

Hon. Damien Kurek,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Battle River-Crowfoot MP

NRCB clarifies letter regarding Heisler feedlot

The failed drug legalization experiment Everyone knows someone who has faced addiction and the devastation and loss it wreaks on individuals, families, and communities. Time and time again, addiction has resulted in trapping its victims in hopeless situations. This makes it unbelievable that two years ago, the Liberals, with the support of the NDP, decriminalized hard drugs like cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crystal meth in the province of British Columbia. This is nothing less than an extremist experiment that has cost countless Canadians their lives and has resulted in dangerous drug-fueled environments in Canadian hospitals, playgrounds, parks, and other such public spaces. Conservative Party of Canada leader, Pierre Poilievre, has been critical of this policy since its inception, but it came to a head in the last number of weeks as the Provincial NDP in British Columbia admitted failure when they announced they wanted to scale back this dangerous experiment. Retired police officer, Chuck Doucette, president of the Drug Prevention Network of Canada, stated, “Whether they're legal or decriminalized or not - doesn’t make them any less likely to kill you.” It is regrettable that the Liberals and NDP would continue to promote this dangerous experiment instead of promoting treatment. Further, there are a growing number of examples where the Government has been providing drugs, all with taxpayers’ money, to which those drugs are then being resold on the streets without consequence. Rural parts of the country are no exception to this. Although BC is the only place where drugs have been decriminalized, the Liberal-NDP Government has not ruled it out from happening in other places as major cities such as Toronto and Montreal have put in requests for the same. What’s worse, the Liberals’ soft-on-crime judicial reforms have led to the unofficial decriminalization of hard drugs across our nation because it has become next to impossible to get convictions for those responsible for putting drugs on our streets. There is hope in seeking help, and while some provinces are working at increasing treatment, we need a federal Government that will keep hard drugs off our streets, put gang leaders and drug kingpins behind bars, and ensure that there is treatment for those stuck in the grips of addiction. That is why Pierre Poilievre and Common-Sense Conservatives are proposing practical measures that would help restore order to the chaos caused by these radical policies. Our initiatives include offering treatment for those battling addiction, jail and not bail for hardened criminals and those who are pushing these drugs on Canadians, and the recently announced Safe Hospitals Act which would ensure that hard drugs stay out of community spaces. The lives and safety of Canadians must never be treated as an experiment, and we owe it to Canadians to offer hope, not slow death by poison. My Conservative colleagues and I are committed to restore the promise of what Canada can and should be. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column, you are encouraged to write Damien at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, text 403-5755625, or e-mail damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca. You can also stay up to date with Damien by following him on social media @dckurek. If you are in need of assistance regarding a Federal Government program, or need assistance and don’t know where to turn, feel free to reach out to MP Kurek’s office.

Dear Editor; A letter to the editor published in the May 15, 2024, issue of The Community Press contains incorrect information about the role of the Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) in the regulation of confined feeding operations under the Agricultural Operation Practices Act (AOPA), and about how residents of Flagstaff County can participate in the process. The third and fourth last paragraphs in the letter contained inaccuracies, and attributed words to an NRCB approval officer that she did not say. One of the primary ob-

jectives of AOPA is to protect the environment. It does this by requiring applicants to demonstrate that they can meet the many standards and regulations set out in the legislation, including standards to protect surface water and groundwater. The NRCB also assesses applications for their consistency with the land use provisions set out in the municipality’s municipal development plan. The NRCB does not have jurisdiction over water licensing however - Alberta Environment and Protected Areas manage water licenses under the Water Act.

Parties who have concerns about the application, or would like to show their support for the application, can participate in the process by submitting written responses to the NRCB’s Red Deer office before the deadline of 4:30 p.m. on May 30, 2024. Failure to submit a written response to the NRCB by the May 30 deadline may affect the rights of residents to apply for an NRCB Board review (appeal) of the decision. Andy Cumming, Director, Field Services – Applications - NRCB

War Amps key tags en route Leslie Cholowsky Editor

As part of its annual campaign, War Amps of Canada has distributed the 2024 War Amps key tags, and Flagstaff Residents can expect to receive these in the mail as early as this week. Each key tag comes with an individually coded number, so that if keys are lost, a finder can either call a toll-free number on the back of the tag

SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST FORM

to return them to their owners, or even drop them in any mailbox. War Amps will return any keys received to the owner by courier, free of charge. War Amps says, “The War Amps receives no government grants. With the public’s support of the Key Tag Service, the Association is making a difference in the lives of amputees, including children, by providing financial assistance for the cost

of artificial limbs, peer support and information on all aspects of living with amputation.” Anyone who doesn’t receive a tag in the mail can order them directly by visiting the War Amps website at: waramps.ca, or by calling 1-800-2503030 to register in the program. If you look at any lost and found box in the region, you get an idea of how valuable this service is.
