Special tribute planned for Daysland community builder Bob Hanrahan of Daysland will be the focus of a special tribute night on Oct. 26 as the Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) will be holding a Community Builders dinner in his honour. The night will feature dinner, a live auction, and speakers who will share their favourite stories and memories with Hanrahan. Hanrahan first came to Daysland in 1927, just a young boy, when his father took a job as postmaster; since then, he's lived, worked, raised a family, and given back in community he's called home. Hanrahan is now 94 years old, and says he's just always tried to follow the example his father and mother set while he was growing up of how to be a good citizen. In doing so, he has become an
outstanding example of dedicated service to his community. He served as a volunteer firefighter for 46 years with the Daysland Fire Department, and served as the chief for 19 of those years. He started the local ambulance service, and spent 20 years driving. He's also served on Daysland Town Council, and has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Daysland for 73 years. Hanrahan has served on the Cemetery committee, the Curling Club, the Golf Club, the Hospital Foundation, and the Seniors DropIn Society, as well as belonging to the Elks Club. He's an honoured member of the Daysland Northstars, having spent 25 years as a member, and spent another decade with the Goodtimers,
as well as coaching various teams through the years. The Northstars retired his jersey and number in 2012 in a special celebration. Hanrahan followed his father's example in other ways, he served as Daysland's Postmaster, and has worked as a funeral director for 70 years. He worked with his father at the Post Office before and after his service in the Navy during WWII, and when his father retired in 1956, took over the job. He was just a teenager working for the local undertaker who also ran a gas delivery service when a tragic accident took the lives of three local youth. Hanrahan was called to help prepare the bodies for funeral, and it was the beginning of See HANRAHAN P19

Big rock show coming up in Sedgewick Ally Anderson Killam News
Howdy my fellow Killamites. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving long weekend. Eric and I had very few plans for the weekend. We celebrated Leslie’s birthday on Friday with a delicious dinner of burgers, which afterwards we had a great ice cream cake from the Co-op. Our only other plans were for Sunday at Kerry’s place for Thanksgiving dinner, and to also celebrate Eric’s belated birth-
day along with another family member. I saw a lot of farmers taking advantage of the decent weather this weekend. Hopefully that means they are each closer to being done before that first snowfall hits. The Flagstaff 100 Women Who Care met up this week. Unfortunately with it happening on a Tuesday, nobody from my group could attend thanks to it being paper day after a long weekend, but I know those ladies will pick a great group to give the first batch of money to. I’m
proud to say that we ladies have come together and are a strong group who want to see big things happen in our county. I was in Sedgewick on Tuesday afternoon and it looks like they are so close to having main street finished. The road was paved and people were parked on main street, which was such a happy sight to see! Who’s going to the rock show at the Wild Rose Coop Rec Centre this weekend? I’m really excited for a good ol’ rock show. I’m not 100 per cent a country music lover, but rock and
metal are more my jam. It will be a fantastic show. If you don’t know who is coming to Sedgewick, or aren’t sure where you can get tickets, check out the story in this week’s edition of The Community Press for more info! If you see any of these beautiful people this week, be sure to wish them a happy birthday: Emily Fee, Oct. 19. Oh, well it is a quiet week for birthdays and anniversaries I guess, according to the calendar! Happy birthday Emily!

Opinion
Will Monday's election results finally create a Buffalo? The latest poll of Alberta’s prospective voters reported that an overwhelming majority of Albertans planned to vote for the Conservative Party of Canada in this coming Monday’s federal election. In fact, this same poll suggested that there was a great likeliness that the Conservatives will win all 34 federal ridings in our province. That’s not totally surprising, considering that four of the top five parties in Canada (Liberals, NDP, Bloc, and Greens) plan to systematically destroy Alberta’s economy by shutting down its oil sands. So, as Albertans who care about our economy and ethical oil, that really only leaves the Conservatives or the newly founded People’s Party of Canada as realistic choices. Of course some ridings will also have the Libertarian or the Veterans Coalition Party to choose from as well. No matter your choice, it appears that one of two things will most likely happen this coming Monday. One: we will have a Conservative minority, which will have trouble accomplishing anything teamed with a left-wing coalition. Two: Liberals will form a minority government with a cooperative coalition planning to destroy Alberta’s economy for the sake of Canadians flimflamming that the end of the world is nigh because of climate change. Of course there could be other results, including an unlikely hallelujah moment for Alberta wrapped in a Conservative majority. Barring that, there is a good chance separation talk in Alberta will become a stark reality if there is another Trudeau government. As many of you are no doubt aware, Alberta was almost a part of the Province of Buffalo proposed by Sir Frederick Haultain, who was Premier of the North-West Territories (NWT) in the early 1900s.
In 1904, Haultain recommended part of the NWT become one large province consisting of the areas that would become Alberta and Saskatchewan. He believed this large prairie province would be able to influence things federally and proposed it be non-partisan. Unfortunately for him, Haultain decided that the capital of Buffalo should be Regina and at the time, the majority of the citizens of Calgary and Edmonton disagreed. Keep in mind that, in the early 20th Century, Regina and Edmonton both had populations of around 2,500 while Calgary was over 4,000. Adding to his troubles, Haultain had a difficult relationship with then Liberal Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The PM, fearful of one large Conservative province, eventually decided to divide this proposed area of NWT into two separate provinces in 1905. That brilliant division cut the two provinces’ politics in half and allowed Central Canada to continue to dominate. Had Sir Frederick Haultain’s vision come to fruition, Buffalo would presently have a population larger than British Columbia and boast 48 seats in Monday’s election compared to BC’s 42. Buffalo would dominate Canada’s mineral wealth and agricultural production. With the extra voting clout it would be much more difficult for federal parties like the Liberals, NDP, and Greens to single out Buffalo’s oil industry and label it as an embarrassment to Canada. It would certainly be understandable if the results of this election acted like a phoenix rising from a funeral pyre and producing dreams once again of long forgotten Buffalo - this time as a separate country.

Reader: Don’t be a victim Dear Editor; My laziness resulted in me being a victim. That’s right, my fault! Not the criminal, not the police, not the government, only me. I had to stop at businesses in town and pay some bills. “I’ll just leave my diesel running, go in, and pay the bill. I’ll be out in three minutes.” I even thought, “I should turn off my truck and take the keys.” I didn’t. Is that procrastination or laziness? It doesn’t matter. I didn’t take the keys out and I left it running. What a huge mistake! I came out three minutes later and a gut-wrenching, sickening sensation overcame me. My truck had been stolen. I do know that the closer to the criminal occurrence that it can be reported, the better the chance of solving the crime. I ran to the Detachment; office staff and officers met me as I came in. I quickly told them what had happened. As I relayed my story to them, I could see the genuine caring and concern, and them wanting to do all they could for me. Out the door they went; sirens and lights. I believe there were two officers in two different vehicles searching for my truck. They dropped what they were doing
to help me. Within 20 minutes, one of them had my vehicle in sight. With the aid of neighbouring detachments, they got my truck stopped and the driver arrested without incident. My truck, wallet, passport, and phone are now at home, safe and sound. What are you going to do when yours go missing? Think about that for a minute. Now, here I go! Don’t become a victim! I’d be willing to bet that when you go to the big cities you lock the doors and take the keys, your wallet, and cell phones, right? Do it here. For those of you who think the police don’t care, are always at the coffee shop, or take their time, you need to walk a mile in their shoes. You won’t be able to do it for long. These folks are doing the best they can with what they’ve got to work with. It’s pretty easy to criticize, sitting at the coffee shop waiting for your refill. These officers care! I am so thankful that they do. They are part of our communities. To our officers, thank you for being there for us! Sometimes we don’t deserve it. Ian Malcolm Sedgewick
Kudos for exposing distortions The Editor; Please allow me to offer my highest praise, kudos and accolades to Mr. Kerry Anderson for exposing the distortions of social media in his short, op-ed piece in last week’s Community Press. The op-ed was about an interview Mr. Trudeau gave to U.S. media outlets early in his tenure. In version number one, the cut
SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST FORM
version, a social media outlet shows the P.M. looking like, and answering questions like an idiot. This version has become the bible of the Facebook Trudeau-haters. In version number two, the uncut version, Mr. Anderson saw and commented on, showed the P.M., cool, calm, and collected, answering media
questions in a perfectly normal way. This is the version that sends the Trudeau-phobes into a “frothing frenzy.” Beware, and be strong, “Mr. A,” because the “foaming few” will attempt to castigate you. But, not to worry, truth always prevails over falsehoods. Kudos again! Dr. M. I. DeAbreu

SAVY allows student voices to be heard Emily Tanton Student Reporter
Student-Led Advocacy for Voices of Youth (SAVY) is a five-year-old program in Battle River School Division (BRSD) that is spear-headed by Director of Learning Diana White. The program has the main goal of making students the ambassadors of their own learning and allowing their voices to be heard at a higher level in the school division. Two student representatives are chosen from each school in the division to represent their peers on issues larger than themselves. Representatives from Flagstaff schools are as follows: Central High Sedgewick Public School - Emily Tanton, Gibson
Seffern; Daysland School - Elise Mohler, Taryn Petiot; Forestburg School - Jayden Blumhagen, Alysha Ambler; Tofield School - Mercedes Tremblay, Rebbeca Hill; and Viking School - Katie Newby, Bailey Haeberle. The group’s first meeting was held at Bawlf School on Monday, Sept. 30, where discussion revolved around introduction to SAVY and the expectations for the year. This year, the group will tackle community involvement across BRSD and work with administrators, superintendents, and Board members to initiate positive change in the division. In past years SAVY has been tasked with putting student voice into cellphone policies and the initiatives that they de-
veloped are in the process of being implemented. An important thing that representatives in SAVY are made aware of is often the change that they advocate for won’t be noticed during their school career; unfortunately changes involving people of higher authority take longer to implement. The students elected to be a voice for their peers are tasked with looking towards the future and thinking of solutions to problems future kids their age will face. The next SAVY meeting will be held in Camrose on Monday, Nov. 4, where 24 students from across the division will work to represent their peers and work together to make education work for everyone.

There’s a Scarecrow Festival in Daysland during the month of October, sponsored by the Daysland Business Association and open to residents and businesses. Two entries came out last week, with this very relaxed fellow lounging on some straw bales at the Town Office and Library building. Down at the south end of the street it was looking pretty scary for a minute, until the Purple Scissors ghostbuster showed up and got things under control.

Thanksgiving long weekend brings families together in Heisler Maxine Badry Heisler P.
780-889-2113
Good day everyone, did you all have a good thanksgiving? The weather wasn’t too bad until Sunday. There was just enough rain to hold the farming up again. As I sit here, typing up the news, the sun is trying to shine, it always makes one feel more like doing something when the sun shines. The weather sounds good for a few days. Did you all see the orange moon? It was quite a spectacular sight. I did manage to get a nice picture of it on my phone. Shirley Heisler had her
family home to celebrate Thanksgiving on Saturday at the Seniors Centre. Please take notice: the 2020 calendars are here and can be picked up at the post office or at the library. Home to spend Thanksgiving with Mom and Dad was David Rosser of Edmonton. David returned home on Sunday; he took some little pumpkins back to Edmonton where he and his friends can enjoy them. Lawrence and Lorraine Mascke had their family home to enjoy Thanksgiving together on Sunday. On Saturday, all of my family, except the combiners, enjoyed Thanksgiving at the home of Marcel and Krista Gendreau in Camrose. Visit-
ing with Jerry and SharaLynn Weller over the weekend were their daughter Mandel, son-inlaw Daryl Babe, and grandson Aksel of Medicine Hat, taking in the Thanksgiving celebration at the home of Marcel and Krista Gendreau of Camrose and enjoying a Thanksgiving meal in the field. Also returning from Medicine Hat on Monday were their son Evan, daughter-in-law Amber, and grandson Jerad. Evan and family stopped in to see mom, dad, and me, great-grandma Maxine. I got to enjoy the company of my littlest great-grandson for the first time before they returned home to Edmonton. Visiting with Pat Smith
Faith Column
Where did this come from? At supper one night, seven-year-old Brad asked why his dad thanked God before eating food that had come from the grocery store. The father picked up a roll and asked, “Where did this come from?’ “From the store” said Brad. “Where did they get it?” “I dunno. From the bakery?” “Where did they get it ?” “They made it” “From what?” asked the father. “From flour.” “Where did that come from?” “From wheat.” “Where did the wheat come from?”
“The farmers.” “And where did the farmer get it?” “He grew it,” Said Brad. “From what?” “Seed” “And who made the seed?” “God, I guess,” Said Brad. “And that,” said the father, “Is why we thank Him.” “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
last week were her cousins Donna Niehaus and Janice Volk of Camrose. Home for Thanksgiving at Mickey and Moira Heisler’s for the weekend were David, Jenn, and family from Cold Lake. They also took in Thanksgiving at the Senior Centre. Spending Monday Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Patsy Smith were: Winston Smith, Tim and his son AJ of Drayton Valley, Ted of Ponoka and his friend, and Richie and Nora Smith and their girls from Killam. Birthday greetings to: Dennis Meyer, Lorraine Congdon, Oct. 14; Brooklyn Volk, Rayanna Purcha, Amber Dawn Weller, Oct. 15; Alissa Allen, Oct. 16; Cody Wolbeck, Jenn Heisler, Oct. 17; Andrew Albers, Emma Bendfeld, Oct. 18; Angie Hihn, Oct. 19; Deb Hodi, Oct. 20.
Anniversary greetings to: Ken and Sharon Vornbrock, Oct. 18. Thought for the week:

Addressing rural crime in the local riding Moush John Staff Reporter
This past Wednesday, Oct. 9, Minister Doug Schweitzer spoke to people from the new Camrose riding about rural crime issues in the area. “Minister Schweitzer is currently on the most comprehensive rural crime consultation process in Alberta’s history,” said MLA Jackie Lovely. “It’s important that our elected officials are able to get out to every corner of the province and that they can see what things are really like on the ground.” Lovely added that in addition to the Rural Crime consultation process itself, there are a number of new poli-
FEDERAL ELECTION
cies that the UCP government will be rolling out over the next few years. “These policies will be based on the ideas that are heard as part of this process and are aimed at solving the problems the Minister hears about across our province,” Lovely explained. “We need a government in Ottawa that is willing to play ball when it comes to issues like repeat offenders, low sentencing standards, and the revolving door system of justice.” Lovely is on the Justice and Solicitor General Caucus Advisory Committee with a goal to work hard representing the Camrose constituency.

OBITUARY
Alaire Oberg
Alaire Oberg April 21, 1918 October 13, 2019 We lovingly remember Alaire Oberg who passed away peacefully at the Galahad Care Centre on October 13. Alaire was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on April 21, 1918. After her schooling in Forestburg and Normal School in Calgary, she started her career in 1936 in a one room
school at Bedford. Teaching at Hasting Coulee, Daysland, Forestburg, then Edmonton Public System from 1954 to 1984 as teacher, Principal and Consultant, member of the College of Teachers, Phi Delta Kappa International and Delta Gamma Kappa. Alaire dedicated her life to education and music. She approached education with dedication and determination and achieved much success, influencing the lives of many. Her community involvement in Forestburg earned her “The Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award” in 2004 at age 86 and “The Ministers Seniors Service
Award” in 2016 at the age of 98. Alaire received this worthy status due to the fact she was held in high esteem as pianist for the Walter Johns Singers for 27 years, volunteering at the Villa and Galahad Care Centre, member of the Hospital Auxiliary, music festivals, and past member of the Community Hall Board. Alaire was a passionate and gifted musician, the piano played a pivotal role in her life. She was grateful for the wonderful caring community of Forestburg and area in which she lived upon retirement. Alaire will always be remembered with love
by numerous family members and the many wonderful lifelong friends she made along the way. Predeceased by husband Floyd, parents Otto and Mary Scheler, sister Shirley Sather, brothers Hardy and Milton (Mickey) Scheler.

Thank you to MJ Hedeman, who always keeps an eye out and provides me with interesting bits of news. Again, a couple weeks ago, the Camrose Churchmice players shared pictures of their cast for their upcoming "The Addams Family" musical with former Flagstaff County resident Desiree DeKock. DeKock was cast as Morticia Addams. Rehearsals are in full swing, three times a week, and some characters are double-cast because twice as many women auditioned for roles compared to men. In this case, DeKock shares the role of Morticia with another actress. As a result, Desiree gets to perform on opening night, followed by the first half of the performances. Those are the shows to watch if you're interested in seeing this brilliant actress, but this isn't all she's up to.
Since you never know if you'll get a role, DeKock also auditioned for the Musical "Chicago" and got the role of Matron "Mama" Morton. This production will be playing in Camrose in February. DeKock's one busy gal, but she enjoys it and she says “Once you get hooked, you can't let go.” It must be true, as she hasn't missed a play for the last three years. She makes friends, gets involved, and as she's also a full time teacher, you can't underestimate the importance of her being a role model. If any of this sounds tempting to you, they've got you covered. The Flagstaff Players are working on a few projects this year and would welcome all new and old faces. The first upcoming endeavor is an interactive murder mystery on the Battle River Railway. Dress in your favourite 1940s outfit, which is optional, and join them in trying to figure out “whodunnit.” The Flagstaff Players are seeking a few actors
who are comfortable with improvisation to round out their cast. For spring, the Flagstaff Players have a truly magical production up their sleeves; where Lord of the Rings meets Monty Python. Dragons don’t exist yet, but the city of AnkhMorpork is under threat by a 60 foot dragon that was summoned by a secret society of disgruntled tradesmen. Want to join their cast of characters? Come join the Night Watch as they defend their city. Auditions are being held on Oct. 24 and Oct. 26. For more info, check out the classifieds for the next couple of weeks. Once you're in the upcoming event section, keep reading, as Lougheed has some interesting news to share. Did you know that St. Andrews Church in Lougheed has amazing acoustics? They have been hosting concerts here for a while and there is another great event coming up featuring Cat Jahnke; a Winnipeg artist who is
NYBACK RV CENTRE
touring Western Canada this fall. Besides having a bell-like voice, she is an amazing instrumental musician. She does popular cover songs and mashups from a variety of artists like David Bowie, Simon and Garfunkel, Adele, and The Monkees. What is mesmerizing about her concert is that she records her own instrumentals and voice harmonies, looping them as she goes. By the end of the song, she sounds like a full band and she performed this magic right before your eyes. It is going to sound amazing in this space! See their ad in the classified for dates and times. I hope to see you there. On Oct. 10 in Lougheed four tables and one extra player had a game of whist, a
great lunch, and some super visiting. Men’s high was Keith Moss, mystery was Wayne Johns, low was Arnie Meyers, and travel was Pat Martin. Ladies’ high
was Martha Pope, mystery was Dianna Teers, low was Gayle Moss, and travel was Edith Lunty. The next game will be Oct. 17 in Sedgewick.

Local youth in Adrenaline Tae Kwon Do Club take on the Alberta Cup Six members from Adrenaline Tae Kwon Do Club in Viking, along with their instructor Mr. David Andreson, travelled to Lethbridge, Alberta on Saturday, Oct. 5, to compete in the Alberta Cup. This tournament was hosted by Merritts Ultimate Tae Kwon Do Ltd. in Lethbridge, with hundreds of competitors from all over Alberta taking
part. It was the first time taking part in a Tae Kwon Do tournament for five of the players, but they certainly didn't show their nerves; bringing home an impressive 11 medals between the six of them! Each participant enters the ring to compete performing their pattern for their belt level and then winning in a round robin.
Then they suit up to spar other competitors in another round robin. Mr. Andreson was very happy with the results of the tournament, as his students have been working very hard to prepare. Tae Kwon Do runs every Tuesday and Thursday at the United church and new members are always welcome to start at any time. -Submitted

Minor hockey news returns - you can help Kerry Anderson With the help of coaches, parents, and grandparents, local hockey players from three counties in Caribou Publishing newspaper areas like this one get credit for good games, victories, points and saves each week of the hockey season. Each week I look up and record scores and scorers of dozens of local hockey teams and players, both male and female. But I need your help. If I don’t have your son or daughter’s team among those recorded, I just don’t know about them. This may mean players who are playing for other teams in larger centres or players located on teams in areas outside this county. In the Beaver County area, Lamont County area, and Flagstaff County areas, parents have been really cooperative in letting me know of particular websites where local hockey players participate in leagues which post scores semi-regularly.
Because our print deadline is Monday, I scour these sites each Sunday evening in an attempt to get the latest scores and give scorers some credit for good games they played that particular week. Believe me, this is no easy task over three different counties in both the Zone 2 and Zone 7 districts. There are dozens of teams in dozens of leagues playing in many different age and skill levels. Some leagues and teams are more prompt than others when it comes to posting game sheets. Often it is up to the home teams to get the
games into the league websites, and the parents and coaches are quite busy running around with their teams all winter long, making sure these kids get the best hockey experience possible. As well, there are some hockey players likely playing in leagues which I have no idea even exist. Before your young hockey player’s league begins this winter, please send out an email to me letting me know what website I can go on to find statistics for your local hockey player’s team. The goal is to give every hockey player - boy
or girl - in our areas credit for their achievements without missing a single child. But I need your help. If a local hockey player is being missed in the weekly minor hockey league write ups, please contact me - it will have been a complete oversight. Also because leagues and websites change, please send me an email letting me know for sure what league your child plays in. Send even if you think I probably know. You can email me at: kamcjm@gmail.com Have a great winter, let’s play hockey!

Wheat Kings win one, lose one over long weekend Emily Tanton Student Reporter A win and a loss over the weekend put the Wheat Kings in a favourable position in the North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League, already foreshadowing a successful year. A battle on Friday, Oct. 11, in St. Paul saw the Wheat Kings lose 6-4 against the Canadiens. The following day, the Wheaties were at home and had a tension-filled game against the Cold Lake Ice, eventually coming out on top 4-3. Friday was a back and forth game for the Wheat Kings, with no one able to predict which way the game would go. Ashton Kelly scored the first goal of the game early on, assisted by Ashton Cookson and Kobe Charchun. Two St. Paul goals quickly followed, with Devin Naslund getting quite a workout in net. Things were looking down for Killam when St. Paul managed to get another goal early in the second period, but Carter Ortman scored not a minute later to restore hope for Killam. The score was 3-2 for St. Paul going into the third, and Landon Eskra showed extra effort to even the score. His goal was not returned for 10 minutes, until the Canadiens scored a quick two goals to put them solidly in the lead 53. Ashton Kelly scored the last goal for the Wheat
Kings that just wasn’t enough to put them ahead, despite their best efforts. The Wheat Kings pulled their goalie with a minute left in the game, and when St. Paul received a penalty the scales tipped in Killam’s favour. It was six-on-four play for the last minute and with two seconds left, St. Paul scored an empty net goal and finished the game with a score of 6-4. Last-minute goals seemed to be the theme of the weekend, with the Wheat Kings breaking a tie the next night with just three seconds left in the game. Cold Lake was leading 21 after the first period, with their two goals being interrupted by a Braydan Davis goal. Davis went on to score again in the second, but it was quickly followed by another Cold Lake goal. Trailing 3-2, the Wheat
Kings were in need of a catalyst, which came in the form of a fight that teammate Landon Eskra initiated; afterwards the team seemed determined to win. Chase Schatschneider scored the first goal in the third thanks to passes from Chad Bonnett and Dalton Zemanek. Tied at three, the game appeared to be heading into overtime before Wheat Kings’ Ashton Kelly scored the winning goal with three seconds left on the clock. After the weekend, the Wheat Kings sit in second place in the league, behind the Wainwright Bisons. The Wheat Kings face-off against the Bisons in Killam on Friday, Oct. 18, and then travel to Lac La Biche for a game the next day. The Wheat Kings have five players on the league leaderboard as of last game, with Kobe Charchun in first place, leading with 11 points in five games.
New to the Wheat Kings this year is Kohl Forster, who got an assist Saturday in Killam’s win against Cold Lake.
Both Carter Ortman (#4) and Kobe Charchun (#20) had assists against the Ice Saturday, Oct. 12, at home. Charchun made the league leaderboard this weekend, with 11 points in five games.
Trailing 3-2, the Wheat Kings turned things around after the Ice’s Tanner Carr and the Wheaties Landon Eskra mixed things up.
Students to cast ballot in mock election Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Over 1 million students will be casting their ballots this week to cast their vote for the official candidates during a mock election. Student Vote Canada 2019 will be their largest student parallel election, and may well be the largest of its kind in the world. There are 9,500 schools registered to take part across the country, including all Flagstaff Schools. The campaign is run by
CIVIX, a non-partisan registered charity that is dedicated to strengthening democracy through citizenship education among school-aged youth. Elections Canada provides support and access to information that enables the Student Vote to succeed. It wouldn’t happen without the help and dedication of as many as 25,000 teachers, from BC to Newfoundland. “We sincerely thank the teachers who are making the time to engage their students in the demo-
cratic process with the Student Vote program. “It is a privilege for CIVIX to support their efforts,” says Taylor Gunn, the charity’s president. Besides researching and voting for candidates in their ridings, students will also take on the roles of election workers, setting up polling stations, supervising voting, and counting ballots. The Student Vote results are tabulated riding by riding, and released publicly following the close of polls on Election Day, Monday, Oct. 21.

Battle River - Crowfoot candidates answer questions Caribou Publishing Editors recently made an effort to contact each candidate in the Battle River - Crowfoot riding to answer three questions. We asked them all about what they will do to help farmers and producers get their products to market; what their plans are for getting along with provinces, industry, and special interest groups; and what the top three issues are for them in this election. We are presenting their responses here. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts to contact Natasha Fryzuk and Dianne Clarke through their parties, neither candidate and only one party responded to our query, and neither of the two candidates sent in answers to the questions we posed; it’s important to make the distinction that while neither refused to respond, neither did respond nor made any effort to contact us during the campaign period.
Conservative Party of Canada candidate
Damien Kurek Does your party have a plan for rural Canada, in terms of support for family-owned farms, and for all producers struggling to get their product to market? I have been passionate about rural Alberta for many years, and a big part of why I am running is to ensure that we continue to have a strong voice in Ottawa that understands and advo-
People’s Party of Canada candidate
David Michaud This is the first time we have had access to Michaud’s full biography, so we include it here. David A. Michaud was born and raised in southern Ontario. At the age of 18 years, he left home for a career with the Canadian Forces, during which he participated in three peacekeeping missions (eight months in Cyprus in 1974 during the Cypriot coup d'état, then the Greek-Turkish war, seven months in Egypt in 1976, (where he met with both the Egyptian and Israeli leaders President Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin respectively) and again in Cyprus in 1982, this time for six months). He also served with NATO forces for three years in Lahr, West Germany - before the Wall came down. It was during his first employment in Edmonton, as a paratrooper with the Canadian Airborne Regiment, that he realized Alberta is where he wanted to retire from the military. David currently lives in Beaver County with his wife Heather and their retired racing greyhounds. They have five children and nine, soon to be 10, grandchildren, who are the driving force for his current political activities. The various things he experienced
I hear two main issues from the thousands of folks I have spoken with across Battle River-Crowfoot. First, they are ready for a Government that stands up for them and helps them get ahead. Secondly, they are tired of the Trudeau Liberals scandal, mismanagement, waste, attacks on Canadian industry (like Ag and Energy), and endless tax hikes.
If your party forms the next government, how will you foster greater levels of cooperation between provinces and the federal government, between government and industry, First Nations groups, charities,
co-operatives, and other groups? Canada needs a government that respects provincial partners, First Nations, and all Canadians. Unfortunately we have seen the Liberals attempt to pit segments of Canada against each other. Conservatives will bring respect back to how the federal government works with all Canadians. Further, Conservatives will take proactive steps to break down barriers in inter-provincial trade, proactively consult with stakeholders for a national energy corridor, and ensure that provinces are respected, not insulted. In your mind, or your party's mind, what are the top three issues in the 2019 election, and what do you or your party propose to deal with them?
during his time with the military has led him to his desire to make life better for all Canadians, and why he joined the People’s Party of Canada. D o e s your party have a plan for rural Canada, in terms of support for familyowned farms, and for all producers struggling to get their product to market? The short answer is yes! The longer, and more complex, answer is that the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) does not have one single policy to cover this, as the various “recoveries” are made through fixing things like the issue of equalization, getting rid of interprovincial trade barriers (internal trade), eliminating supply management and cutting the various income taxes (public finance). If your party forms the next government, how will you foster greater levels of cooperation between provinces and the federal government, between government and industry, First Nations groups, charities, co-operatives, and other groups? There is no short answer to this one, and again, it involves a number of our platforms. First and foremost is the elimination of trade barriers between the provinces (Internal Trade). If the provinces are working with each other on an equal basis, then people with particular skill sets, (medical, legal, tradespeople) can safely and comfortably work in any province without having to “redo” qualification exams. This, in turn, will make it easier when dealing between provincial and federal governments, as only one set of “rules” or “instructions” need be drafted. With regard to the government work-
ing with First Nations groups, charities, co-operatives, and other groups, each of these would have to be dealt with on a one-to-one basis. Unlike a law that applies to everyone in the country, working with specific groups depends on so many different criteria. That being said, the People’s Party of Canada will continue to be bound by our statement of not pandering to any group for anything. We will work with groups, strive to make life more affordable and livable, not just for those groups, but for all Canadians. In your mind, or your party's mind, what are the top three issues in the 2019 election, and what do you or your party propose to deal with them? I know my party feels very strongly about a number of things, as we need to turn so many things around, so I will respond to this from a personal point of view. 1. I feel the single, most important issue is to get the pipelines built. This will not only get our product from Alberta to both coasts, and consequently to other countries, but will also create many jobs, both in the initial construction, then in the maintenance of the pipeline itself. Having these built will also help prevent Canada from having to purchase oil products from countries that do not share our values with regard to human rights and freedoms. 2. The next thing, in my mind, is getting countries that have imposed embargos against Canada to understand the PM Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government were “played” by the
United States government, like a violin. The US convinced them to arrest a Chinese national, resulting in a Canadian being detained and those same embargos put into place. By showing the Chinese government that the People’s Party of Canada truly does respect the law, and will not cater (or pander) to anyone or any other government, we will be that much more able to negotiate with no outside influence. 3. The third item would have to be cutting all the frivolous spending that is currently being done by the Liberal government, and is also being condoned by the Conservative, New Democrat, and Green parties. I say condoned because they have all produced platforms that will add billions to our debt load, and Canada is almost already at the point of no recovery. The PPC will eliminate the Carbon Tax, without putting something else in place, or as Mr. Scheer does - rename it to Carbon Pricing. We will eliminate corporate welfare, to make it fair for all companies of the same type to compete in the open market. For example: CBC funding, Bombardier funding, etc. We will also eliminate non-foreign aid payments amounting to billions being sent, in the guise of “climate emergency” funding, to countries that will never use the funds as our current government constantly tries to convince us it will.
cates for rural issues. In terms of farming and agriculture, the Trudeau Liberals have failed to stand up for our interests and we have seen devastating consequences. From uncertainty in commodities markets to increased costs and continual attacks on small businesses, rural Canadians (and specifically farmers) have had enough. Conservatives have demonstrated in the past that we understand and can defend agriculture, and folks can trust we will work hard for them.
Additionally, I hear every day from people in this region that are thankful that Kevin Sorenson served as our MP nearly two decades. He served this region well and he leaves a strong legacy of common sense, principled conservative values that made a lasting impact in our country.
Note: When Michaud’s response came from a specific platform item from the party, he has underlined that specific platform’s name.

Battle River - Crowfoot candidates answer questions - Page two Green Party of Canada Candidate
Geordie Nelson Does your party have a plan for rural Canada, in terms of support for family-owned farms, and for all producers struggling to get their product to market? Answer: If we believe that rural communities and family-run farms are good in and of themselves (and Greens do), and that corporate control of the food supply has created a multitude of problems, especially for young people trying to farm, then the current situation cannot be fixed with simple policies like a tax cut. We cannot leave the fate of rural Canada, our food supply, and the stability of the climate up to the markets. The main point: soil and farmers will be heroes, game-changers in fighting climate change. Greens will partner closely with farmers in the fight to save our planet, ensuring that they will be provided with the tools and financial security to do what has to be done. This fight needs all hands on deck, and we need big changes, but we have to make sure that farmers benefit immediately, because they are on the front line. There are technical challenges, but also social challenges because it's so hard for young people to get into farming, so we have policies for that. I hope that voters take the time to read the sections in the Green Party platform on agriculture, food, transportation and energy, because rural communities can expect us to deliver extraordinary supports through those policies. The Green vision of agriculture is this: Many more young, and fi-
Hanrahan Continued from Front a lifetime of lending support to local families during their most stressful and difficult days. He says he is grateful to have been able to serve his community through both careers. In 1949, he married the love of his life, Norma Kvittern, originally from Bawlf. They met while she worked at the local
nancially secure farm families living in Battle River-Crowfoot using regenerative agriculture techniques who can transport their products to market and augment their income by generating clean energy. (Imagine being able to travel as far as you like in an electric pick up without worrying even for a moment about the cost of fuel...) If your party forms the next government, how will you foster greater levels of cooperation between provinces and the federal government, between government and industry, First Nations groups, charities, co-operatives, and other groups? Answer: The Green Party believes that democracy is about citizens choosing a representative according to which policies we prefer, then those elected representatives working together, with all Canadians, to create solutions. Greens do not "whip" votes: we never make MPs vote with the party. MPs are accountable only to their constituents, and are free to work with, and vote with, any other party. In a minority government, that's very valuable to all the other parties, and they are eager to work with us. They will be even more eager when they realize how cooperative we actually are. The first thing I would do, if elected, is to develop the relationships we need to get things done. There are a lot of leaders across our very big riding. They know what the problems are and they know what they'd like to see as solutions. My job is to get those plans together and go to Ottawa to find allies and get things rolling. A lot can be accomplished as an MP if you're willing to work across party lines and don't use problems to make political hay. Greens will have a very strong position (especially if a minority is elected), and other MPs will be eager to work with us. It's actually pretty easy being Green (joke intended)
Bank of Montreal, and brought the branch's mail to the post office daily. The couple had two sons, Jim and Dave. Norma passed away in 2007. Hanrahan moved from the family home into Providence Place a couple of years ago after an illness, and says, “We are so lucky to have this facility in our little town. There are excellent cooks, and very nice peo-
ple living here, too. I'm very happy here.” He says he's happy to have regained reasonable health, and he's still trying new things, recently learning to text with his granddaughters. Hanrahan is very modest about his service to the community, and having been selected for recognition by the BRCF as a Community Builder. “Lots of people have done lots of more impor-
because nobody is mad at us. Elizabeth May is extremely popular with politicians from every other major party, and has said publicly many times that we will work with anybody and everybody for the good of Canadians. Because of our belief in basic democracy, and our commitment to cooperation, you will notice that Greens never attack other parties or candidates personally. It's nearly impossible to work with someone after you have insulted them, and we must create cross-party committees that can work effectively if we are to solve our problems. Greens honestly believe that there is value in every person's opinion, and that listening is more effective than constant, incessant debate. Once any election is over, the good of the nation should come before party politics. We don't need to agree on everything in order to work together. We just have to behave like grown-ups. In your mind, or your party's mind, what are the top three issues in the 2019 election, and what do you or your party propose to deal with them? Answer: The first issue is to keep our planet capable of supporting human life, and that means fighting climate change. Together. Immediately. If you believe scientists (since I drive a car, use a cell phone and fly in jets without fear, I obviously do believe scientists!), then you have to believe what they say, which is that we have less than a decade to make a big enough shift to carbon-free energy to prevent runaway climate change. We don't have to stop using all fossil fuels, but we have to cut our emissions by a lot. In order to do that, we need all hands on deck. Anybody who wants a job will have one. Believe me, we don't currently have enough people to do the work we need tant things,” he says. He agreed to be honoured in this way because it's another way to help the community. All funds raised during the Oct. 26 Community Builders Dinner in Hanrahan's honour will be used to establish a fund in his name that will be used to support

done, so you can count on overtime for many years. The Green plan to fight climate change is ambitious but we will balance the federal budget in five years, everybody will been employed, our energy costs will be way down and... we survive. The second most important issue for this campaign is, for us in Battle RiverCrowfoot, water. Most of our area is at high drought risk and it's likely to get worse. Water issues have cascading effects throughout our communities, pun intended. So what are we going to do about that? We have a lot of options, including diversion from watersheds that have excess, improving surface water management and getting a handle on groundwater inventories and protection. Of course, climate change is the big driver of drought and big dumps of precipitation at just the wrong time, as we've seen this year. Obviously, we need to modernize our energy system so that farmers have a cheap, reliable source of energy that doesn't contribute to a climate mess, but we also have to start figuring out how to adapt to what's coming. Tomorrow is not going to be like today. Working with the province, municipalities and water alliances to mitigate the issues and get ahead of the problems that are coming is top of the priority list. Lastly, it's ridiculous that most Canadians did not vote for this government, yet we got it anyway. We have to reform our democratic process so that every vote counts, and so that every MP, once they have won an election, can work cooperatively with other politicians for the good of the country. Electoral reform is one of our biggest problems. Greens have been working on this for many years, and have asked for cooperation from other parties. We will never stop the campaign to strengthen our democracy.
projects and causes in the Daysland area. The event sold out shortly after tickets were
offered, another testament to Hanrahan’s standing in his community.

Tatters Quilt Guild members meet twice a month at the Lougheed Community Hall, where they work on individual and guild projects, some of which end up being sent to organizations who help people going through a tough time. Whether it is Blankets for Canada, Brigantia House Women’s Shelter, Days for Girls, creating Fidget Quilts for Alzheimers patients, or contributing quilts to community organizations, Tatters members are giving back to the community. Member Gwen Simpson has been involved in Blankets For Canada for a number of years. It is an organization simply devoted to Canadians who need warmth. She says, “It’s the least we feel we can do. We know that Blankets for Canada contributed 6,000 quilts last year; we also know that number didn’t touch the need that is out there.” Simpson says they work on all sizes of quilts, for adults, children, and babies. “We also try to look after local families,” Simpson and Guild President Pat MacKinnon say. “It’s a win, win, win for us, and a way to feel like we’re making a difference in a positive way in our communities.” One of the projects the group contributes to is Days for Girls, which provide young women in third world countries special kits that are sewn to specifications provided using approved materials that allow them to attend school every day, every month, instead of having to stay at home during those times of the month when they are menstruating. “We create a package that includes soap, bags, panties, and we build kits in different sizes. It’s very respectfully done, and it’s a great program.” The kits they make are available to any girl anywhere in the world who needs one.

The guild also contributes to Bags of Love, a group that contributes to local children in crisis, whether struggling with disaster, homelessness, poverty, or upheaval in their lives. There are similar chapters throughout North America. The bags include a handmade cloth bag with a pocket, and the pocket is filled with personal care items and a letter to the child. The bag’s interiors are very much age-appropriate, but always include a kid-sized handmade quilt, a teddy bear, and other items. Simpson says that if there is any local need that they are not filling, all any organization has to do is get in touch with them to let them know. The guild also donates quilts to local Hospital Auxiliaries, sometimes those are raffled off as fundraisers, and sometimes they are gifts for special patients in need. “We don’t differentiate, there are no strings attached to the quilts that we give to others.” There are 26 members of the guild, from all over the Flagstaff Region, as well as Edmonton and Camrose. On Thursday, Oct. 10, guild members met in
Lougheed at the Hall, inviting a representative from Blankets For Canada to come, they had a number of quilts to present to her, including one that was made up of squares from the entire guild. The guild entered this special quilt in the Lougheed Fair and won first place with it. On Thursday, it was on its way to a new home for someone who really needs it. Simpson and MacKinnon say that one of the great things about their group is that they encompass all quilting and sewing skill levels. “We are all trying to improve our skills, and being part of the guild adds a social aspect that we all need as well,” MacKinnon says. “We are sharing our ideas, working out our projects, and doing it together. Sometimes we will all be using the same quilt pattern, but everyone’s will be completely different,” Simpson says. Both agree that they get a lot of satisfaction from their membership; not only are they doing something they love, creating quilts, but they are also meeting with friends, and contributing to their local, and global, community. “New members are welcome,” says MacKinnon.
The Tatters Quilters Guild members meet informally a couple of times a month at the Lougheed Community Hall, as well as a few weekend retreats each year, usually seasonally. This last Thursday, Oct. 10, members met to work as usual, also gathering up a number of quilts they were donating to Blankets for Canada.

Looking at how Alliance could grow Libby Whittall 780-888-5097
Alliance libbywhittall@gmail.com
One of the great things about living in the small Village of Alliance is that it is surrounded by larger towns within easy driving distance. I can spend the day shopping at all the big stores in Stettler or Camrose and still be home for dinner. Or I can go grocery shopping in Killam or Castor and be home for lunch. The great benefit is that I can come home to a sleepy little village full of friendly neighbours and where everyone waves at each other with a smile. There is not the same anonymity here as living in a city. When a house sells and someone new moves here, the news travels fast. It’s pretty hard to keep secrets for very long, as some version of the story will get around. And actually, that’s okay. It is a social behavioural instinct for us to want to know our neighbours and feel safe
with them. To me, it is fun being a part of a small, nosey community. Using the Buddhist practice of detachment to ease the anxiety of being around people after my long isolation in the northern bush, I see the village as a play being acted out before me. Everyone is an interesting character with a fascinating story. There are many folks who have retired here after having very interesting careers and listening to stories of their travels and work can keep one occupied for many hours. I’ve been hearing a bit about economic development in the area. Maybe some of the money the government has slotted for that will trickle down to Alliance. As I walk through our downtown, I wonder what it would take for it to become the busy village it once was. Since the village can’t expect to be a centre of shopping and business, there needs to be other things drawing people here. We already have a
beautiful location that’s three kilometres off the highway and has lots of empty buildings just waiting for an enterprising individual to have an idea to make them come to life again. Living in the bush, I found the best way to turn a piece of old furniture into something lovely again is lots of bright paint and I think the first step to revitalization is to paint the village downtown as colourful as possible. Now the federal election is upon us. I’m ready to do my civic duty in helping the democratic process go smoothly by being a deputy returning officer in Alliance. I still don’t know who I am going to vote for. One little dissenting vote won’t mean much in this very conservative area of Alberta, so then I may as well just vote along with the rest. It would be much easier to be partisan than to have to think through issues affecting individuals and businesses. My biggest hindrance is that I and many others don’t believe that

global man made climate change is the most important issue in this Canadian election. I do believe in very strong social programs and in higher taxes of the most wealthy among us. That makes it very hard to choose. Our United Church supper is happening this coming Sunday evening at the Alliance Community Hall. On Saturday morning all the helpers are meeting at the hall to peel potatoes and carrots and to get the hall ready. Our discussion after church
was whether or not there was one more oven available for one more Turkey. Evidently, they are expecting a big turnout. I’m just going to wash
dishes in the back and watch the show. If you have any news or stories you would like to share, contact me at the email above. Bye for now.

World-class rockers to Sedgewick Leslie Cholowsky Editor
It’s not too late to get tickets Sedgewick’s Return to Rock concert Saturday, Oct. 19. Whether or not you think you’ve heard of Honeymoon Suite, Prism, or Lee Aaron or not, chances are you have. Honeymoon Suite is one of Canada’s iconic rock bands who has achieved fame in both Canada and the US in the past four decades. With their first couple of hits featured on mammoth TV shows like Miami Vice, soon the band’s songs New Girl Now and Burning in Love were and still do get massive play on the airwaves. Appearing on the soundtrack of monster movie hit Lethal Weapon didn’t hurt either. The band has drifted apart and back together over the years. Derry Grehan, founding member of Honeymoon Suite, just announced that he is helping Godin Guitars design and build the
first-ever “Derry Grehan Tread Model� guitar based on his iconic instrument. Grehan said in an interview in the early 2000s, “I think Honeymoon Suite will be remembered as one of the major influences in Canadian rock along with Loverboy, Glass Tiger, and the like. "To me the true measure of the quality of your music is longevity. Lee Aaron is known to some as Canada’s Rock Queen, and she’s been making music since 1984 when she released Metal Queen, catapulting her to rock star status around the world. If the ticket price only included her performance, you’d still walk away feeling like it was worth every cent. Her powerful vocal style has not diminished in the intervening years; she toured Germany with her band in 2016 and has recently released a live rock album featuring that tour called Power, Soul, Rock n’ Roll. In it, there’s a great mix of old and new, and features some songs off her 2016 album Fire
and Gasoline. There’s something raw and honest in Aaron’s performances, and she sounds as amazing today as she did 30 years ago, singing her original hits as well as songs from her new CD. Also appearing on stage with these two iconic performers will be Prism. Talk about iconic, NASA chose Prism’s super-hit “Spaceship Superstar� as Discovery’s official song during its final space flight. Take Me to the Kaptin, Armageddon, Take Me Away, Young and Restless, Night to Remember, Don’t Let Him Know. When you hear the songs, you’ll remember how much you loved this band, and still do. Two Junos, multi-platinum albums, and sold out shows wherever they go, having Prism perform is a feather in Sedgewick’s cap. Tickets are available through ticketmaster.ca; Killam and Sedgewick Wild Rose Co-op stores, and Town of Sedgewick.
