Killam Solar Farm virtual hearing cancelled Town of Killam says it no longer has any outstanding issues to be addressed by applicant Leslie Cholowsky Editor
On Friday, the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) issued a notice of cancellation of a planned virtual oral hearing for proceeding 28643, which is the application by Pace Canada LP for the development of a solar farm at Killam. The reason given for the cancellation of the hearing was that the Town of Killam filed a letter on Friday, Nov. 8, stating that the Town no longer has any outstanding issues to be addressed by Pace, and thus no longer intended to participate in the hearing. The letter also contained details of multiple committments by Pace to the Town of Killam. AUC received the letter stating that the Town and
Pace have “finalized the commitments relating to the issue of Weed, Vegetation, Pest, Soil and Dust Management, and relating to informing all personnel on site.” Just two days earlier, the Town of Killam’s attornies had issued a letter giving time estimates for opening statements, direct evidence, and cross-examination as requested by AUC. But after receiving the latest communication from the Town, AUC says, “Because there are no other interveners who indicated that they intended to participate in the hearing, the Commission has determined that a hearing is no longer necessary.” One previous registered intervenor asked the AUC to withdraw their status at the end of October. AUC says that now the information already filed
in the proceeding will be considered and a decision will be issued in “due course.” Pace has also made application for the Peter Lougheed Solar Farm, at Lougheed, which the AUC deemed as ‘complete’ in mid-October after receiving a second round of information from Pace. AUC advised it will make a decision on that application by Nov. 15. The proposed solar power plant at Killam is planned to generate 22MW. The original proposed in-service date was Dec. 15/25, it’s unknown if that We will reopen Tuesday, Aug. 6 at has changed. The proposed power plant at Lougheed is 9 a.m. solar and our next edition planned to generate 15MW, with an original prowill still be published Wedneday. Aug. 7 posed in-service date of March 2, 2026.

Daysland man arrested in semi-truck police chase
On Nov. 6, at approximately 9:37 p.m., Vermilion RCMP received a report from a property owner regarding a semi-truck trespassing on their property. The vehicle was associated to multiple files in the Killam, Kitscoty, and Viking RCMP areas. Officers promptly responded and located the semitruck traveling westbound in the eastbound lane of Highway 16. Police activated their emergency equipment in an effort to ensure the safety of others on the Highway; this action prompted the driver to correct and return to the appropriate lane. To further manage the situation Alberta RCMP Emergency Response Team were deployed with support from Police Dog Services, Air Services and Alberta RCMP Crime Reduction Unit. The semi-truck came to a stop north of Dewberry where a female passenger exited the vehicle while the driver continued. A short time later a tire deflation device was used, which resulted in the apprehension of two additional male suspects. Robert Larry Bricker, a 40-year-old resident of Ryley, Alta., has been charged with the following offences: Possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000; Flight from a Peace Officer; Failure to comply with

Killam Wheat Kings make coaching change after slow start; Assistant Nick Mantai promoted Leslie Cholowsky Editor
After a rough start to the season, the Killam Jr. B Wheat Kings have made a coaching change, moving assistant coach Nick Mantai to the head coach position, replacing former Bob Charchun. Mantai says, “This is my fourth year with the Wheat Kings organization, an organization with a strong sense of community spirit that I am proud to be apart of. “My first priority is to help these players be the best versions of themselves, on and off the ice. Throughout this season, our focus will be on developing skills, fostering a strong team culture, and ensuring that every player grows in confidence and ability. “We are committed to creating an environment where players not only strive for success but also have fun and build longlasting friendships.” The Wheat Kings were on the road again this past weekend, heading to St. Paul on Saturday, Nov. 9, to take on the Canadiens. The Wheat Kings were held scoreless in the matchup, but limited the Canadiens to just three goals, for a 3-0 loss. Ryan Stepanick took the loss in goal. Shots were 46-23 for St. Paul. On Sunday the Wheaties were on the road again, this time heading to Wainwright to face the Bisons. Wainwright got on the scoreboard first early in the period, with an answering goal from Jordan Gagnon, from Carter Hogman and Keegan McArthur on the power play to tie it 1-1. The Bisons scored in the last seconds of the period to go ahead 2-1 heading into the second. Wainwright took the second period, scoring three goals, including one from Hardisty’s Jackson Pasztor, and putting the score at 5-1 heading into the third. Two power play goals
in the third from Wainwright put the final at 71 for the Bisons. Stepanick took the loss
in goal for the Wheat Kings; shots were 66-23 for Wainwright. The Wheat Kings have
one more road game this Friday, against the Vermilion Tigers, before finally coming home on
Saturday, Nov. 16, when they will host the Cold Lake Ice, with a 7:30 game start.

Hughenden Jets fly to top of ECSHL standings after weekend play Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The East Central Senior Hockey League had a busy weekend of games. Friday night started on the road for the Sedgewick Sabres, who headed to Coronation to take on the Royals, where they cut deep with a 7-2 win. The Sabres came on early with a first-period goal by Trevor Bromby from Landon Kelndorfer just over a minute in. Then Keaton Holinaty put the Sabres ahead by two in the last minutes of the period, assisted by Clay Lang. The Royals scored their first goal midway through the second, but Holinaty scored his second of the night, from Chase Schatschneider, to make it 3-1, then his third on a power play, a hat trick, from Curtis McKinlay and Lang, to put the Sabres ahead 4-1. Spencer McClements sunk the Royals even deeper, to 5-1, with a goal from Kyle Sanders and Carter Ortman in the last minute of the period. The Sabres scored early in the third on a power play, with a goal from Quinn Johnson, assisted by Kelndorfer and Bromby, to make it 6-1. The Royals had a power play goal of their own to score their second, before Ortman scored, from
Derek Chevraux and Nick Dunn for a 7-2 final. Travis Child got the win in goal for the Sabres, shots were 41-31 Sabres. Fast forward to Saturday evening, when the Forestburg Flyers hosted the Hughenden Jets. There was no score sheet available at press time, but the Jets came away with a 6-3 win against the Flyers. The league standings reflect some teams with just two games played, while others have played five games, so might not be a true reflection, but the Oyen Eagles, with a 3-
0-0 record, are tied for first with the Hughenden Jets with a 3-1-0. Provost has five points in third, at 2-0-1. Sedgewick, Irma, Stettler, and Delburne all have four points, but Irma and Sedgewick have only played three games, while Stettler sits at four and Delburne at five. Wainwright has only played two games, with a win and a lost, and is tied at two points with Forestburg, with a win and two losses. Coronation is still seeking their first win. There are lots of games coming up on the week-

end, with Sedgewick hosting the Stettler Imperials at home on Friday, and Forestburg on the
road to Wainwright. On Saturday, Sedgewick is supposed to head to Delburne to take
on the Outlaws, while the Hughenden Jets will host Wainwright at Hughenden.

Canada Post union gives official strike action notice Canada Post’s union CUPW delivered 72 hour notice of job action on Tuesday morning, November 12. The postal union announced its intent to strike and, if followed through with, would go into effect as early as Friday morning. At press time, CUPW representatives commented that the national executive board has yet to decide if a job action will occur at the 72 hour deadline. It is dependent, they say, on if ensuing talks with Canada Post are productive. “After almost a year of bargaining, despite our best efforts, the parties remain far apart on many issues,” the union said in statement. According to some union employees on social media, but unconfirmed at press time, Canada Post may have countered with a notice of its own; a lockout that could also take effect if the strike does not. The CUPW strike would primarily impact mail and package delivery during the ever-important Christmas season, while also potentially leading to closures of larger post offices in urban centres. There is no confirmation yet if potential strikes would be rotating, or Canada-wide. In terms of local delivery, local post office employees have ensured Caribou Publishing that their offices are expected to remain operational, and weekly newspapers will be put in post office boxes as usual as long as they are delivered to each individual post office, which is the current plan. It is not known fully how this could affect rural mail, as it was advised by a source that

Forestburg woman completes and publishes special book Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Arlene Bruner of Forestburg has just had her first book published. It’s called “Curtain by the River,” published by Hawes and Jenkins Publishing. It was officially published in October. The book has a very special story attached to it. While Bruner is named as the author, the book actually had four authors, but Bruner is the only one left. Her sister-in-law Sharon started the book in the 2000s. Bruner says, “She started writing in the middle of the night, and her story just took off. She’d call my husband and they’d both be talking about the story and writing like crazy. He was all in right away. They’d talk and write in the wee hours of the night.” Bruner says Sharon was always writing, she wrote in journals all the time. “Her imagination was phenomenal.” It wasn’t long before Bruner started helping, starting out by offering suggestions or critiques. “I got drawn in and hooked, too.” Eventually their mother, Bruner’s mother-in-law, also started contributing to the book. “Sharon would tell us, ‘Write it down if you think you can do better.’” Bruner says Sharon had a detailed outline to follow, and any deviations from that storyline had to be discussed and researched. “She really loved doing the research,” Bruner says. “Sharon really carried the ball on the book at that time. “She would give us a section of the outline and tell us to ‘see what you can do with this.’” All four were science fiction lovers. “We were all ‘Trekkies,’” Bruner jokes. The book is science fiction-fantasy based on time travel. Unfortunately, Sharon passed away suddenly in her sleep in 2011. Bruner says when her mother-in-law called with the news, she and her husband were devastated. “But we decided to continue working on the book for Sharon’s sake.” It wasn’t even a year later when Bruner’s mother-in-law passed. Before another year could go by, Bruner’s husband also passed away, and she lost her own mother that December. It was a very rough period of her life, she says. “But then I got some tough love from a friend. “They asked, ‘What are you doing? You have a book to finish!’” Bruner says Sharon had actually fleshed out three different endings in her outline, and that when she finally picked the book up to write, there was
only five chapters left. She picked out her favourite of the three endings, which she felt worked the best with the chapters that had been added after Sharon’s passing. “When she passed, the book wasn’t quite half done. The three of us kept at it. It sat for a few months after my mother-in-law passed. “I remember telling my husband, ‘We have to finish this for Sharon.” Bruner says publishing the book was Sharon’s dream. “I just completed it for her; I think she’s up there smiling.” Bruner finished the book in 2014, and then sent it away to 14 Canadian publishers. “I never got any negative feedback at all, but they would say it wasn’t the genre they were looking for. One old fellow called me and offered to publish it if I paid for it, but I wouldn’t even give him the time of day.” Not really sure what to do next, Bruner says the book sat for a number of years. “I tried for about six months, but with no feelers, and no other path, it basically just sat. Since then, I’ve gone through a few life changes and moved.” Having been written in long-hand originally, she had two different friends who typed it for her, creating a digital version, but she still has the original long-hand version, in three very large piles of paper. She says she got an email from Hawes and Jenkins Publishers kind of out of the blue, asking, ‘Are you still interested in having this book published?’ “I think an acquaintance of mine, who’s also a writer, put out a feeler to my publisher.” But her friend won’t admit to anything of the sort. Once she checked out the publisher, “I was leery at first since they’d approached me out of the blue,” and had her lawyer check over her contract, she signed. From there, everything went fairly fast. She says her book was one of three picked by the company to publish, and the editing process went very quickly, as having the long-hand version typed caught a lot of small things. “I think they found one thing, I’d used the word ‘reign’ instead of ‘rein’ in one spot.” Bruner says when she was writing on her own, there were lots of days where what she’d written would just end up in the garbage pile. But she persevered, until she’d written something she felt was good enough. “And I was very proud when the editor said they couldn’t even tell the book had been written by four different people. Mom always called it a family effort.”
The book description on Barnes & Noble says: A young boy traveled with his family by wagon train to a new home. This was, he thought, the best adventure that he would have in his life--so much to see and every day so much to do. With 41 wagons on the train, he had no problem having lots of other children to play with except the girls. They were silly, loud, and had dirty little faces. He had no idea that his adventures had not yet begun until he walked through the curtain of mist that surrounded him as he headed back to the wagons. This was the beginning of his adventure, the real beginning of his life. The sadness, the fear, and, yes, the joy of his journey will keep you on the edge of your seat reading, wanting to know what will come next for James. Take the trip with him into the unknown. Travel with him on his trek into a time and a world beyond the curtain.
She tells a funny story about when the four of them decided to make a small change, of course they had to go back into the hand-written manuscript to ensure it made sense. “I remember once we thought we’d lost the entire chapter 17!” Bruner says she really wasn’t sure the book was ever going to be published. “Before the email from the publisher came, I was wondering what I should do? I really wanted to have it published, if not for me, then for Sharon.” She’s dedicated the book to Sharon, and says, “We often talked around the table, and we agreed that the last man standing would be the final author, and would get the book published.” She says part of the pact was to use only a single name, but she really wanted to acknowledge Sharon on the cover, because it was her dream
that started the whole journey. Another special dedication says, “To three remarkable individuals. A sister who was so thoughtful and kind, a mother who brought joy and understanding to so many. I dedicate this to the love of my life, my partner, and soul mate. I hope someday to see you all again beyond the curtain.” Bruner was 78 years old when she signed the publishing contract. The final book is available in softcover and e-book, and is 337 pages, through Barnes and Noble, or Amazon. (It is still showing as being in prerelease status at Amazon) Bruner was given a number of promotional copies of the book, and she’s already given out all of them, and to rave reviews. She says, “It’s such a great feeling of accomplishment that our book is finally published.”

We remember them! Now with Remembrance Day past, and I hope you had a chance to take in one of the many services offered across Flagstaff County, Christmas Cheer is in full swing. Open Houses for many stores, Christmas markets, and of course all the beautiful decorated houses. Be sure to support your local businesses this season as they are the ones sponsoring your children's soccer or hockey team fundraising efforts and much more. Killam is getting ready for their annual Christmas at the Crossroads held on the first weekend in December. It's a fun-filled weekend starting on Friday night with different activities along main street
businesses, the parade of lights, and the gingerbread and tree decorating contest at the Living Room. It’s followed by the sold out Christmas market at the Community Hall on Saturday and a movie at the theater. Come one, come all. The Killam Living Room is also hosting a conference later this month. It's called Housemoot. If C.S. Lewis has been an important voice in your life, you do not want to miss this. Do you have a favorite passage from one of his novels, essays, or poems? Or are you a Lewis dabbler curious to know more? If yes to any of the above, take advantage of this opportunity to talk about Lewis over soup with friends at Housemoot Killam. For more information contact Emily Jackson. Are you interested in volunteering as an English Language Tutor? Flagstaff Community Adult Learning is running some volunteer training later this
November and you could be one of them. Reach out to the office or Braeden Holmstrom for more information. The Good as New Society held their AGM last week. It's been a good year for our second-hand store and so the four churches providing volunteers for sorting and opening hours have been awarded $7,000 each. Congratulations to the United Church, Community Church of the Nazarene, Anglican Church, and Bethel Lutheran who use the funds to upkeep their cemetery. Again, our community would be nothing without the support of its faithful volunteers. The Community Church of the Nazarene members hosted hospitality Sunday. It’s an event where members can choose to host or receive guests on a Sunday following the church service. Delicious food was shared and great conversations. Thank you to all those participating.

Flagstaff Family and Community Services focuses on the development of community resources through education and partnership processes. The result has been an increasing community awareness of the self-help process and local resources.
Flagstaff Informed Response Sharing Team We have community partners such as: AHS (Alberta Health Services), Flagstaff Family & Community Services, Flagstaff region Municipalities, Flagstaff Victim Services, Flagstaff Food Bank, & the Battle River School Division.
Our Mission is To Help people Achieve Healthy Relationships
OUR METHODS: FIRST Community Education FIRST Community partnerships FIRST awareness of available grants for community programming FIRST volunteer involvement FIRST has kept its focus on responding to or preventing family violence, abuse and bullying in our community, but has expanded the FIRST program areas to meet the needs of our community and to change when other programs have been mandated in certain areas. As of 2018 FIRST expanded its community scope.
As FIRST continues to serve Flagstaff and moves forward, the Board and the community look for opportunities to serve the community in their ongoing mission of promoting healthy relationships. This includes ways to assist all demographics in building relationships both within the family unit and within the community.

The human body is so fascinating and has incredible healing abilities! There are systems within systems that harmonize to create your daily experience as a human. From a certain perspective it's all one system that changes in its cell type, density and function. All these systems move in their own way. Movements on macro levels and micro levels.

Killam Spartans Volleyball Club 780-385-4794 killamspartans@gmail.com In a town deeply rooted in community values and athletic spirit, the Killam Spartans Volleyball Club stands as a beacon of sportsmanship and unity. Since its founding in 1988 by Bob “Mr. G” Gabruck, the club has transformed into a local institution in Flagstaff County, giving young women an opportunity to play competitive volleyball and grow through experiences that stretch far beyond the court. Chelsea Nielsen, club director and one of the coaches, shared insights into what makes the Spartans unique and impactful. “The club was founded to create a space for Bob’s daughters, and his friends’ daughters, to play competitive volleyball right here in Flagstaff,” she says. “It started small, but the need and love for the sport made it grow steadily over the years.” Today, the Killam Spartans welcome girls ages 13 to 18 from all over Flagstaff County and even beyond, supporting as many as three teams. This growth reflects the club’s evolving mission: to offer young athletes not only competitive play but a sense of belonging. The club’s vision is clear - to provide “a competitive club volleyball experience” and a place for girls to connect, build friendships, and create lasting memories, according to Nielsen. A Place to Bond and Belong One of the club’s guiding principles is fostering a family-like environment. The Spartans don’t just train together; they bond through organized events that go beyond the volleyball court. “We actually budget for team bonding,” Nielsen explains. “We had an overnight sleepover at one of our coaches’ church. They’re not just with us for a season. They’re with us beyond that. And they become a part of the Spartans family.” This culture of connection continues long after players leave the club. Spartans alumni are known to return for annual alumni games, reliving memories and reconnecting with the club. “When they come back, it shows the (Spartans) family what we’ve built and what our current players are stepping into,” Nielsen says. For the Spartans, success isn’t just about wins and losses - it’s about building a community that athletes can look back on with pride and affection.
Keeping Volleyball Affordable and Accessible In a rural setting, keeping the sport accessible is vital. The club operates with some of the lowest fees in the area, achieved through local fundraising, donations, grants, and a variety of events. From online auctions to alumni tournaments, these activities help reduce costs for players. Every few years, the club also participates in casino fundraising to generate additional support. This commitment ensures that finances aren’t a barrier for families eager to join the club. Challenges of a Rural Club – and the Heart That Drives It Operating in a rural area brings unique challenges. Many of the athletes are involved in other extracurriculars, from 4-H and hockey to school sports and dance. The Spartans accommodate these commitments by staying flexible with their practice schedules, often adjusting based on athletes’ other activities. “We don’t want to compete with other local opportunities,” Nielsen says. “Instead, we work to help them balance everything because we know how much those experiences mean to them.” The club’s rural identity also gives it a distinctive spirit. “We might not be the tallest or the most skilled team,” Nielsen admits, “but we have heart, and that more than makes up for anything else. Our athletes have a lot of drive, and they bring a lot of pride for the Spartans.” A Legacy of Excellence and Community Impact One of the Spartans’ proudest achievements is seeing alumni return as coaches, or even grandparents watching their grandchildren play in the same gym that their kids played in. This multigener-
ational involvement underscores the club’s lasting impact on the community. “All our coaches were once players here. It’s such a special experience,” Nielsen shares. “It’s a cycle - we’re creating memories and traditions that tie people to this area.” Beyond volleyball, the club instills values that shape players’ lives off the court. “They’re not just athletes; they’re young women who will one day raise the next generation,” says Nielsen. “We want to give them the skills, tools, and memories that they’ll carry with them and, hopefully, pass down to their own children someday.” Honouring a Beloved Coach’s Vision At the heart of the Killam Spartans’ legacy is the enduring influence of the late Mr. G, a beloved coach who left a profound mark on the club. “Every time we walk into the gym, we think, ‘What would Mr. G do?’ He dedicated so much time to the Spartans, and everything we do is with him and his family in mind,” Nielsen recalls. One of
Nielsen’s fondest memories as a coach was seeing Mr. G’s name on a Coach of the Year banner at a Volleyball Alberta tournament. “It was my first premier tournament with the Spartans, and seeing his name was a reminder that he’s still with us, guiding us,” she says. For Nielsen and the rest of the coaching staff, continuing Mr. G’s legacy is a profound responsibility. “I started as an athlete here, and the experience changed my life. Now, I feel it’s my duty to give back to this club that has given me so much,” she reflects. Looking to the Future The Spartans are excited for the future, with plans to expand their summer camps and offer even more opportunities for young athletes. The club’s presence on social media has helped them reach wider audiences, attracting players from other communities outside of Flagstaff County. And as they move forward, they remain dedicated to the mission that Bob Gabruck set out in 1988 - to provide a space where young women can find joy, connection, and a home in volleyball. To follow the Killam Spartans journey, check them out on Facebook and Instagram, and catch their livestreamed games on YouTube. As Nielsen says, “Our goal is to keep building positive, meaningful experiences for the families in our area, and to welcome new ones. We’re carrying on a legacy, and every time we step on the court, we’re making sure it’s one that our community can be proud of.”

MEMORIAL MEMORIAL Willam P. Lewis November 16, 1938 November 19, 2004 The Lord spoke to the heavy hearts that stood by his bed, “Your sadness pains me deeply and I know you’ll miss this man, But it’s true, what you’ve been hearing, Heaven is a real place. The emptiness his parting left that seeps into your bones, And draw on it to ease your pain, For he is not alone. You see his friends are up here and all his loved ones, too. ‘Cause it wouldn’t be a heaven withou each one of you.” Lovingly Remembered by, MaryAnn & Scott Charlotte, Scott, & Family Darren, Jodi, & Kade

Hardisty couple celebrates 50th anniversary Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490
Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!
Well hello folks. I hope you were all able to attend or view a Remembrance Day service on Monday. It is such an important day because it reminds us that we are free citizens. Free of war and harsh oppression, because those Canadians that fought in the first and second world wars freed us from those harsh atrocities. Remembrance Day reminds us to revere and thank those men and women who guaranteed us the freedom we enjoy today. Hardisty Remembrance Day service was held in the Elk's Hall by the Hardisty Legion members. Blanche Nelson presided over the program with the assistance of Mason Drosdowski, a corporal who finished his tour of duty. This young man is now in training for the Edmonton Police force and we wish him well in his new career. We are honoured that he assisted with the service. We had numerous people reading poems and letters that were so meaningful for this special day. Many wreaths
were laid under the large white cross, covered in poppies, by families, businesses, and groups in remembrance of important people in their lives. We were honoured to have some armed forces personnel in our midst. They were in full dress and made us all feel proud, especially the young woman who was the piper. Thank you all so very much. Our Hardisty Fire and Rescue Department played an important roll in the service, helping in various ways. Blanche Nelson ensured they received honourable mention. A potluck luncheon was served after the service. “...We will remember them...." “In Flanders fields the poppies grow between the crosses row on row..." Jim and Fay Bronson celebrated a 50th wedding anniversary on Nov. 9 in Hardisty. Eighty folks gathered at the Senior's Drop-in Centre to wish them well. The crowd spanned all age groups and the building vibrated with laughter, lots of socializing and good food. Guests came from far and wide. BC, Hundred Mile House, Fort Mac, Wabasca, Edmonton, Lacombe, Red Deer, surrounding com-
munities, and a multitude of locals. I asked Fay about that wedding day 50 years ago. The couple were married by Rev. Jackson in our lovely United Church on main street. Mary and Gord Stromquist stood up for them and then the festivities were held at the Elk's hall. Fay said the band that played for the dance was named the "Sparkletones." I bet some of you seniors will remember the band members. They were Laverne Whitehead, Perry and Doris Powell, Doreen Bell, and Marnie Barass. I bet they danced the night away! Fay mentioned that the weather was the same at their wedding 50 years ago as it was on Saturday. The community of Hardisty wishes you both continued good health, much love and happiness. I did a little Google research on the institution of marriage. I thought you might find some of this interesting. So how old is the institution of marriage? Best available evidence suggests it is about 4,350 years old. The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting one woman and one man dates from about 2350 B.C., in Mesopotamia (this area
was known as the cradle of civilization and is the middle east including s/w Asia and the eastern Mediterranean.) Back then marriage had little to do with love or religion. Its primary purpose was to bind women to men to guarantee that the man's children were truly his biological heirs. A woman became a man's property. In ancient Greece a father would say these words in a betrothal ceremony. "I pledge my daughter for the purpose of producing legitimate offspring." Yikes, that would not go over well nowadays! Ancient Hebrew men were free to take several wives. Romans and Greeks could satisfy their sexual urges with concubines, prostitutes, and even teenage male lovers. Their wives were required to stay home and tend to the household. If wives

failed to produce offspring their husbands could give them back and find other wives. Can you imagine the horrendous sexually transmitted diseases amongst these many sexual interactions? No antibiotics and fancy drugs in those days. Religion eventually became involved as the Christian church became a powerful institution. A priest’s blessing was required for a marriage to be legally recognized by the Roman Catholic canon law. This improved the nature of marriage. Men were taught to show greater respect for their wives and were forbidden from divorcing them. Christian doctrine declared that “the twain shall be one flesh,” giving husband and wife exclusive access to each other's body. Fast forward to our modern world and a woman
now has control over her body, her use of various types of birth control etc. “The idea that marriage is a private relationship for the fulfillment of two individuals is really very new,” said historian Stephanie Coontz, author of “The way we never were; American Families and the Nostalgia Trap.” Within the past 40 years marriage has changed more than in the last 5000 years! No one can truly predict if a marriage will last. There are so many variables that can make or break a union, a marriage. We can only hope that kindness and respect will prevail and good health and happiness will allow us to survive as happy partners in our future world. Best wishes to all of you in this game called LOVE. Have a fabulous week folks and please call me with some news.

Around 100 pay respects at Lougheed Remembrance service Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The C. J. Kinross V.C. Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Lougheed held a Remembrance Day service on Monday, Nov. 11. About 100 people attended the event. As members of the Legion colour party entered the community hall, the service began with the singing of ‘O Canada. After an invocation given by Susan MacKinnon, the choir and audience sang Amazing Grace. Legion Branch President Jayne Odegard Dempsey read the roll call of all those from the Lougheed and surrounding districts who died in WWI and WWII. This was followed by the playing of the Last Post, and two minutes of silence. Another hymn, How Great Thou Art, was sung by the choir and audience together before Odegard Dempsey gave her address. She talked about how easy it was to lose a poppy, and forget what it symbolizes, and how easy it can be to forget to remember the sacrifices made by veterans in both world wars, except on Remembrance Day. “We forget to re-
member.” She talked about how it was good to always remember the freedoms won on our behalf by those veterans of war who gave their all in the ultimate sacrifice. Colton Carson read a poem written by Charles M. Province. “It is the Soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag.” After the laying of the wreaths, a special performance by Graham Burden of the C. J. Kinross V.C. song that told the story of Cecil J. Kinross, and his war deeds during the battle of Passchendaele that led him to receive the Victoria Cross, the highest medal of honour given to soldiers of WWI. The song told his biography from his birth to his passing at 62 on June 21,
1957. After the singing of God Save the King, the colour party left the hall. Legion members and the audience
were invited to walk to the cenotaph and lay their poppies there. All were invited to the Legion afterwards.
This year’s Remembrance Day service in Lougheed ended with a walk to the cenotaph where members of the audience were invited to lay their poppies in remembrance.

Killam Lions host Vice District Governor The Killam Lions Club hosted a special visitor at their last meeting. The Vice District Governor for District C1 of Lions International came out to Killam. Member Rick Krys says, “He came out to give us greetings from Lions International and talked to us about some different goals that the Lions are shooting for this year.” Krys says the international organization’s main goal is to build up Lions membership, from the club level on up. “He wanted to know what Killam has been doing right to keep such good membership.” He says the Killam Lions are always looking for members to join and volunteer to fundraise for the community. “The Killam Lions Club gives back roughly $10,000-$15,000 each year back into the community. That means we need different events and fundraising to
have the money to give.” While here, the Vice District Governor Ted Mikkelson also handed out chevrons to long-time members of the Killam Lions. “We have some great community members that have committed many years to the organization.” Lions members receiving chevrons were: Clayton Docksteader, for 20 years; Jack Moser, for 40 years; Doug Jacobs, for 30 years; Barry Paydli, for 20 years; Vaughn Prichard, for 15 years; and Rick Krys, with 30 years. The Killam Lions Club holds regular meetings on the second Thursday of each month at the Killam at 7 p.m. at the Legion. New members are always welcome, interested parties can contact Interim President Casey Kelndorfer, or anyone in the below photo.

Alliance Fire Chief, Andy Ingram, Battle River Pipes and Drums Pipe Major Doug Brown, and Alliance Legion President Terry Howe worked on Alliance’s annual Remembrance Day ceremony, held Monday, Nov. 11, at the Community Hall.
There were about 20 in Church to hear Laura Towers read a sermon with a different perspective on the Widows might. It focused on the amount of faith and service to others rather than the money. The Library Board meets on Tuesday morning. It is also our Library Manager’s birthday so a cake will be involved. The Friends of the Library got the society number this week so they will be off and running starting with a meeting on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the library. Tuesday evening this
week the Ag Society meets at the Community Hall. They have a couple of important things on the agenda. Wednesday is another meeting, the Argyle Women’s Institute hold the regular monthly meeting at the Rec Centre in the WI Room. This will be the last regular Wednesday meeting. Next month will be the year-end annual meeting then in January the meeting day shifts to the second Friday of the month at 10 a.m. How about that for a change? There were so many medical appointments crowding out our members days, so we are switching. Friends of BRR are open to new volunteers. If you like trains, come and join us. There will be
a volunteer workshop at the Station in Forestburg on Friday night at 7 p.m. Volunteers will learn the history of our railroad and the behind-thescenes preparations that go into a passenger run. There are some trade shows and fairs where we have a booth, and volunteers are needed for that fun time as well as hosting on the train and at the station. Give me a call if you want to join in and I will get a handbook for you. Peter and Cindy Preston have just moved to Alliance from Grand Forks, BC. Cindy is a sister of Diane Prins. Diane and Dan like Alliance so well that they sold Cindy and Peter on the plan to move here. Prestons bought the Muise place.

Curling season starting Vision Credit Union up in Daysland accepting Helping Hands Celeste Ewan Daysland & Area E. daysland.ab.news@gmail.com
Daysland Arena has put on public skating Monday through Friday for the school kids’ No-
vember break. Curling started this week as well, with the men's meeting Tuesdays and the mixed meeting Wednesdays. With all the spooky Halloween fun in the past soon Daysland will move into their Christmas theme and “Whobilation” will emerge with
all the winter fun. I very much look forward to all holidays celebrated across our communities but my favorite by far has to be Daysland’s Christmas parade, the families, the coming together and the amazing work done by all whom participate. ‘Till next week!

grant applications You can find them across rural Alberta. They’re the organizations that bring people together to build a stronger, kinder, richer community. This year, for the third year running, Vision Credit Union wants to lend those community groups a helping hand. On Friday, Nov. 15, Vision will launch its annual Helping Hand Grants program, offering up to $10,000 in funding to qualifying organizations for capital projects that benefit Vision’s branch communities and the people who live there. “Last year was a great success with 26 organizations across Vision’s branch network receiving more than $200,000 in grants.
We’re proud to support so many charitable groups that are helping to build an even stronger rural Alberta,” said Steve Friend, CEO of Vision Credit Union. Helping Hand Grants are open to non-religious/non-political charitable or non-profit organizations that operate in Vision Credit Union’s 24 branch communities. Applications can be submitted for any funding amount up to a maximum of $10,000 per grant for specific capital projects (not operational funding). They will be reviewed by the Helping Hand Grants committee, which is comprised of Vision Credit Union’s CEO and
Board. Grant applications will be evaluated based on the project’s benefit to people and the community. Grants are open to nonmembers as well as Vision members. This year, organizations can submit their applications and supporting materials via Vision Credit Union’s online grant management page. The application deadline is Jan. 31, 2025. Applicants will be notified about the status of their application by Feb. 28, and the grant funding will be announced in March.
