Providence Place wins third Eden Award Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Providence Place’s Jay Adams and Jill Stefanishion travelled to Edmonton earlier this month to attend the 2019 Eden Awards ceremony hosted by Continuous Caring.

There are five awards given annually based on stories submitted by each Continuous Caring facility. This year, there were 152 stories submitted, with Providence Place submitting five in all The criteria for each category was that the story be inspirational, that it promote the Eden philosophy, that it could be considered as ‘best practise,’ and that it supports the culture of all Continuous Caring locations.

Adams says this is the third year in a row that Daysland has received an Eden award.

The Eden Alternative philosophy

has 10 principles for the care of seniors.

“The three plagues of loneliness, helplessness, and boredom account for the bulk of suffering among our Elders.

Flagstaff Barns Volume two hot off the presses Leslie Cholowsky Editor Flagstaff County recently received the first copies of Heritage Barns of Flagstaff Volume II back from the printers.

Book two is a sequel to the first volume, but instead of staying strictly to the history of local barns, has branched out into other designated historical places within Flagstaff County.

Beautifully illustrated throughout with full-colour photos of local buildings and historical sites, volume two opens up the door to more stories about the region.

“It’s exciting to see it come to life,” says Sydney Hampshire, author and historian, as well as photographer for the book.

Hampshire has worked with Flagstaff County on the Heritage Barns project since 2016, when she was a student at the Peter Lougheed Leadership College at the University of Alberta, and approached the county with the idea of taking over the project as part of a summer stretch experience. At that time, Hampshire said, “There needs to be a change in our perception of the value of historic rural Alb e r t a n buildings.”

Flagstaff County had already started to inventory heritage barns in the region, but the system was clunky and not user friendly.

Hampshire redesigned the inventory, and soon realized that recording the building dimensions and history wasn’t enough. “A barn’s physical structure and the life experiences of those who used the barn inform our curious minds.”

Hampshire says the stories are what bring the historic barns to life, and at heritagebarnsofflagstaff.com, the barns are organized by surname, and each link leads to a full history of the barn along with photos, and stories from the people who used them.

There is not another inventory like this anywhere, this is unique to the Flagstaff Region.

Hampshire says that when she would be out in the community getting the stories for the barns, often other stories would come up.

When the first book was completed and published summer 2017, complete with a book launch on the University of Alberta campus that included a visit from former Prime Minister Kim Campbell, Hampshire already knew there were more stories to be told.

During a book signing at the Sedgewick Library, she said that she was at work on documenting more barns in the region, as well as other historic sites, and their stories. She spent that summer adding barns to the inventory, and visiting other sites like the old family coal mines near Heisler, and Straw Stack Hill. She learned more about the Iron Creek Meteorite.

She started to think there should be a volume two, and administration agreed.

Meanwhile volume one sold out and Flagstaff County ordered more. The book sells for $35, approximately what it costs to be printed.

The project had originally been

p l a c e d within the Economic Development Department, in the hopes that it might lead to a tourism attraction link.

Hampshire collected photos and stories in the summer of 2018, and then compiled the book and put most of it together from September to December that year.

“I knew I wasn’t going to be able to come back in 2019 because of graduating from school, so I wanted to finish the book, and make a complete guide for the project so the county had everything needed to go forward.”

In December 2018, Flagstaff County Council elected to remove the $19,000 Heritage Barn project from the budget, effectively ending the story.

“It’s sad to think it may end with Volume II,” says Hampshire. “We’ve barely scratched the surface of what is here.”

She thinks the next book should go back even farther, and show Indigenous people’s history in the county.

“There’s a really big opportunity here, to explore this further.

“People have told me there are buffalo jumps in the county, and I think we need to uncover the Indigenous links in our history. First nations peoples interacted with the county’s first settlers.

“There are no buildings to use as a talking point this time, and no clues to tell us the story.

“If there is history, it is in the ground.”

Hampshire says she thinks more of our spoken history needs to be recorded.

“That’s the next story that needs to be told. When settlers first came, in 1901 to 1908, the Indigenous peoples were here, a n d

there was interaction between the two.

“There are also more barns whose stories need to be told; that we need to go look at before they are gone.”

She says it’s not the generation who built the barns who see the historical value they have; to them these were just working buildings that served a purpose.

“But as their kids get older, the urgency to tell their stories grows. We need them to tell it, to record it, or to write it down.

“If you can’t find someone who cares about it now, write it down for future generations. I guarantee it will be im-

portant.”

Hampshire says Alice Greenwald, Director of the 911 Museum in New York says she found that WWII veterans would not talk to their children about their war experiences, but they would talk to the next generation, their grandchildren.

She urges children and grandchildren whose elders have the stories from their childhoods or family stories from first coming to the region to ask about them.

“You don’t think your life is anything, and barns never meant anything. They’re just barns. Now, to this generation, they are history.

“When an elder dies without their stories being told, that’s like a library burnt down. All we have left is ambiguity and guesswork.”

She thinks for the project to continue county residents will have to want it, and will have to

make their voices heard to Council.

“If they want it to continue they need to let it be known.

It would be great if this book got people excited about the project again.”

Assistant CAO Brent Hoyland says about Volume II, “Sydney did a wonderful job.

“Hopefully this book will being a lot of exposure to the jewel that is rural Alberta, and Flagstaff in particular.”

Hoyland says the new book had a small print run to start off with, but that the county will keep printing both volumes as long as there is demand.

The second full-colour hardcover book sells for $40 and is available now.

The Village of Lougheed has contracted the Town of Killam in the short term to provide water and waste water operator services for a trial six-month period.

“Lougheed has had a hard time attracting and retaining certified operators, therefore they approached the Town of Killam with this request,” says Killam CAO Kim Borgel.

“The Town of Killam has agreed to a six-month probationary period to provide the services, and both communities will evaluate and determine if we will continue with the agreement at that time.”

She says Killam will send one operator to Lougheed five times a week for approximately one to two hours per visit in addition to providing on-call services to the village. Killam has agreed to charge the village $15,000 for the contract, plus cost recovery of overtime and stand by time.

Killam has identified some necessary improvements to their own water treatment plant, replacing a distribution piping header, a pressure sustaining valve, a fire pump, and installing emergency backup power.

Borgel says the town has budgeted $85,000 for the three-stage project.

“To complete improvements in a manner that will limit the interruption of service to the Town of Killam, we have proposed the work be completed in several stages.”

She says the first stage is to provide improved backup power to the facility, with stage two involving the replacement of the backup pump with an electric pump, with piping modifications; and stage three being the replacement of distribution piping and a pressure sustaining valve providing water service from the new electric backup pump.

Borgel says the Town is expecting delivery of the

new generator in the next few weeks, with the concrete pad poured and ready for it.

Funding for the project is provided by the

#

Town’s Water Reserves fund, which Borgel says is the fund that is collected through the Water Infrastructure Fee on monthly utility bills.

Alberta: fewest MPs per capita in Canada One of the most glaring flaws with the Canadian federal election last week (aside from the results) was when many Albertans noticed for the first time that Atlantic Canada had almost the same amount of seats in the House of Commons as our home province, yet a population just over half of Alberta’s.

Because Canada’s election is supposed to be based solely on population, with little regard for provincial or territorial boundaries, that seemed weird so I thought I would compare populations to seats in the House of Commons.

Atlantic Canada gets 32 Members of Parliament, with a population of 2.4 million. Alberta gets 34 MPs with a population of 4.3 million. That means the Atlantic Provinces get an MP for every 75,000 people. In Alberta, we get an MP for every 126,000 people - the lowest representation per capita in Canada.

Ontario has a population of roughly 14.5 million people and receives a seat in the House of Commons for every 120,000 people (121 total). In Quebec there is a population of 8.4 million and they receive 78 seats, or one for every 108,000 people.

Manitoba has 1.35 million people and receives 14 seats, or one for every 97,000 people. In Saskatchewan there is a population of 1.17 million people and they also receive 14 seats - one for each 84,000 people.

British Columbia has a population of five million, and gets representation from 42 MPs or one for every 119,000 people.

What kind of system was implemented to come up with these numbers?

Having one MP each, Yukon (40,000 population), Northwest Territories (44,000), and Nunavut (38,000) have the most MPs per capita, but together they represent an area larger than Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan put together. In other words, three MPs cover an area of 3.8 million square kms, if you can believe.

Now, if each province had the same amount of representatives per capita as Alberta, it would mean Ontario would have five less MPs, Quebec would have 12 less MPs, Atlantic Provinces would have 13 less MPs, Manitoba three less, Saskatchewan five less, and BC two less. In other words, what the hell?

However, if you think it would change the election results, you would be wrong. Even if everyone had the same per capita representation as Alberta, the Liberals would have won 136 seats, Conservatives 111, NDP 21, Bloc 27, Green 2 and Ind. 1. In this format there would be 298 seats in the House of Commons.

Though the results would be the same, it might be easier to take without the unexplainable disparity.

Pub Night event and Christmas Open House coming up in Killam Ally Anderson Killam News

Howdy my fellow Killamites! Long time no see.

I took a little break last week from my Killam news as I had just run out of time to put anything together.

But don't fret, it was only for last week.

Winter has come and it seems like it has settled in.

It's already way too cold out.

I saw some farmers out late last night (Tuesday night). Let’s hope they are getting closer to done before mother nature throws in the towel and old man winter comes barging in.

Halloween is coming up fast! I hope everyone has their costumes ready and are excited to go out trick or treating!

I am still unsure if I will dress up for work this year, or if I will forego it. Hmm. Remembrance Day services are starting to get planned. Please make sure you pick out the service you want to go to early and plan to attend. It is a very important service to take part in as those who fought for our freedom deserve to be remembered and honoured.

Flagstaff has many different options all over, so be sure to find out where and what time each service is being held, and plan to SEDGEWICK

Here is a reminder to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, Budding Ideas is having their annual Christmas Open House this weekend! I have been in their store a few times to catch some sneak peaks at the new stuff, and let me tell you, their store will not disappoint!

I am so bummed, though, that I will not be in town to get my fill of Christmas decorations from the open house. I’m heading down to the mountains for the weekend to help my best friend celebrate her birthday.

Don’t forget the Pub Night this Saturday. There are still tickets available, so what are you waiting for?

The Sedgewick Community Church of the Nazarene is very happy to welcome their new pastor, Rev. Doug Webb, along with his wife Shelly and two of their children; Kyle and Katrina. They have just made the move from Grande Prairie and are looking forward to being a part of the Sedgewick community.

Doug’s mom, Vera, was able to come from Rimbey last week to join the celebration service as Doug was installed as the pastor for the church.

Welcome to Sedgewick.

Bawlf hockey player makes U18 Team Alberta Emily Tanton Student Reporter

Raice Szott is a very talented young hockey player from Bawlf who has just been given the opportunity to play for Team Alberta in the U18 Womens National Championships in Winkler, Manitoba, Nov. 3-9.

Szott tried out for the team back in July when their was a camp in Red Deer.

Unfortunately, when she returned for

tryouts in October, she had sustained an ankle injury just prior to tryouts and couldn’t participate in the next round.

Beverly Szott, Raice’s mom, is proud that her daughter managed to make the team despite this setback.

“The coaches must have acquired enough information on her back in July as they still chose her for the team.”

Szott has taken part in Hockey Alberta’s U16

Raice Szott from Bawlf has been named to Alberta’s U18 hockey team and will be playing in the Women’s National Championships.

Camps, the Alberta Winter Games, the Alberta Challenge Cup, and two years of U18 camps; this was the first year she was successful in being chosen for Team Alberta for the U18 Womens National Championships.

Szott is beginning her 15th and final year of minor hockey, having begun at the age of three; but she’s only played female hockey for the past two years.

She played two years of Initiation hockey in Rosalind and four years of hockey in Daysland after that. After her first six years of minor hockey, Szott knew she had the opportunity to go further.

She tried out for the AA Atom boys team in Camrose and made the team, she then proceeded to play six years of AA boys hockey in Camrose.

Starting at the age of 15, Szott moved away from home in order to play girls hockey at the Midget level.

She played her first year in Red Deer for the Sutterfund AAA Chiefs where the girls won Provincial Bronze. After a great first year of billeting and girl’s hockey, Szott set out searching for more.

She is currently enrolled in the Ontario Hockey Academy in Cornwall, Ontario. This is a hockey academy that consists of five male teams and three female teams where the athletes live in dorms and attend high school, all under one roof. They travel to many tournaments and showcases across Ontario and Quebec, as well as New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Washington, and the Boston area.

Szott has also travelled to play hockey in summer tournaments in Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Italy.

Szott will be playing NCAA Division 1 hockey at Merrimack College in North Andover, Massachusetts, when she graduates from high school in

the spring of 2020. She will be pursuing sports marketing as her future career.

In the off-season, Szott trains with Steve Adams at the Inside Edge Hockey Development program in St. Albert; being on the ice with Jun-

ior A and WHL players pushes her, but her mother says Szott wouldn’t have it any other way.

Her older brother, Chance, owns Cross Ice Developments, so she likes to train with him when she gets the chance, too.

RCMP Continued from Front

property crimes through their direct actions and investigation.

A complaint of criminal harassment was made to police, who discovered a long history between the parties involved. Police had insufficient evidence to proceed with their investigation.

A report of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle in the Amisk area was followed up on with assistance from Wainwright RCMP members.

A complaint of disobeying a court order was found to have no basis.

A complaint of causing a disturbance from the Sedgewick area turned into a mental health act issue, with a 35-yearold taken to a local health facility for observation and treatment.

A report of driving while disqualified was made to police. When members followed up, the person disqualified was not the driver of the vehicle.

A 30-year-old female was charged with failure to comply with a probation order. She was arrested and released by a justice for a Killam court appearance.

A complaint of an individual failing to comply with a court order or conditions was determined by members to be unfounded.

Killam members assisted Lamont RCMP with a report of a hit and run/failure to remain at the scene of an accident from Lamont.

Police responded to three false alarms in the area, all were incidents of the alarms being set off by accident or by incorrect alarm codes.

Police had two individuals flee from them during a traffic stop. Police approached a vehicle with two people sleeping when they determined that the licence plate on the vehicle had been

stolen.

When members approached the truck, the driver and passenger woke up and immediately fled by driving into a field. Members were unable to pursue.

Three reports of fraud over $5,000 are presently being investigated by RCMP, one with the assistance of the Camrose Police Service concerning an individual who attempts to cash the same cheque multiple times.

Two more reports of fraud under $5,000 were also made to police. One was determined to be a civil matter, the other complaint is under investigation; it pertains to complaints about possible abuse of a power of attorney.

Complaints of harassing communications in Hardisty are being followed up with by a member.

An indecent exposure complaint in Killam was withdrawn when members discerned that the individual was simply wearing a peach-coloured tank top.

RCMP have received three unusual objects turned in to them as found items. Due to the nature of the objects, Cpl. Cleveland declined to describe them, but says that the owner will be easily identified if they come forward with a description.

Police contacted another individual whose personal property was found in a ditch near a roadway; the individual did not want the items returned.

A mental health act complaint led to a Lougheed male being brought to a health facility for observation and treatment.

Police are looking into seven different complaints of Mischief, relating from attempted break and enters to hit and run damages to property.

A visit to a business by police resulted in an individual charged with obstructing the enjoyment of property to leave

Flagstaff County reports $3.3 million outstanding taxes Flagstaff County is facing a $3.3 million shortfall in revenue due to unpaid taxes from oil and gas companies.

“There have always been companies that have become insolvent, or are struggling and incapable of paying their taxes, but never to this extent,” Flagstaff County Assistant CAO Brent Hoyland says.

“It is evident that the oil and gas sector is struggling.”

Municipalities have little recourse available to them to address tax recovery in the energy sector.

A Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) survey conducted in the spring of 2019 determined that more than $81 million in property taxes from oil and gas companies have gone unpaid to rural municipalities.

“The County is in a strong fiscal position to absorb this loss,” Hoyland said.

“However, we can expect a decline in future tax revenue from oil and gas, which will likely be reflected in future

operating and capital expenditures.”

Revenue uncertainty doesn’t end there.

As with other municipalities, Flagstaff County is also facing a decrease in provincial grant funding, as highlighted in the Oct. 24 Provincial Budget.

In addition, the provincial government is currently reviewing the guidelines for assessment rates for linear property, and machinery and equipment.

These reviews could result in further funding challenges for municipalities, he says.

“Council will be taking these factors into consideration when providing guidance during the development of the 2020 Budget and Business Plan, particularly when all indications point to a reduction in oil and gas revenue to municipalities, which currently accounts for 65 per cent of our projected revenue,” Hoyland says.

when asked to do so, no charges were laid. Police removed another individual from a private residence at the owner’s request.

Members wrote 16 moving violation tickets during this period.

Two individuals were stopped and arrested for impaired driving. A 26year-old female was charged with Impaired driving and Driving over 0.08; she provided breath samples of .240.

A 51-year-old male was charged with Impaired driving and Driving over 0.08; he provided samples of 0.230.

Members also responded to various complaints related to custody orders and tenant/landlord disagreements.

Members are investigating two complaints of theft over $5,000 from rural business sites, where copper wire, tools, and batteries were stolen.

Four complaints of theft under $5,000 were made to police.

A 27-year-old male from Camrose was caught by Killam RCMP after a complaint from a Czar gas station came in of the individual stealing gas. Members linked the individual to a second open file, and he was also charged with possession of stolen property under $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle, and failure to comply with conditions.

The Community Resource Officer responded to a complaint of theft of a cellular phone from a school.

Two other theft files are still open and being investigated.

RCMP had reports of a rural property with a number of items that are believed to have been stolen and are conducting an investigation.

A bike seized by police is believed to be stolen.

Complaints of possession of stolen property over $5,000 were made; three of the vehicles were stolen from the area, two from outside the region. Po-

lice are investigating.

Members received 15 calls regarding suspicious vehicles. “We want that, some reports were very useful in providing information on current investigations,” says Cleveland.

A complaint of theft of a bike turned out to be false.

Five reports of stolen vehicles were made from all over the region.

Members had 28 non-injury collisions reported in the 24 day period, many involving wildlife.

Members responded to two trespass complaints at the same location, later determining the incidents to be civil in nature.

A complaint of trespass at night is under investigation by police, the suspect is known to local members, and charges may be pending.

Killam members, with the assistance of the East Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit seized stolen property, including weapons, from a Forestburg residence after executing a search warrant on the premises, also arresting a male and female with multiple weapons charges. RCMP released photos of the items stolen (see our Oct. 16 report.)

Members were called to investigate four complaints of uttering threats, with one determined to be unfounded and the others under investigation.

Police were asked to perform four wellbeing checks, with all individuals found safe and sound.

Killam RCMP appreciates the public reporting when they see suspicious activity. If you see a crime in progress call 911. If you wish to remain anonymous contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477(TIPS), online at www.p3Tips.com or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App or Google Play Stores.

Eden

ular, “George.”

The winning entry was titled “Bucket List,” and talked about specifically the gazebo being a bucket list item for him.

Previous Eden awards came from Tech Tuesday, a project started by Pat and Joanne Whittleton to teach residents how to use their technical devices; and from homemade sausage making, when residents helped food service staff make over 100 lbs of sausage for their Oktoberfest celebration.

Adams says, “Winning this award means everything to me as well as the rest of our Residents and Care Partners.

“We are leaders in the Eden Model of Care, and know that it is being practiced in our community daily.

“We know that we make a difference in the lives of our seniors.

“That is what makes Providence Place such a great place to live and work in.

“We all work together as a team, that is why we are here, we are here for those we serve.”

Continued from Front well as plants and animals. It is these relationships that provide the young and old alike with a pathway to a life worth living.”

The Eden philosophy says that loving companionship is the antidote to loneliness, and that all elders deserve easy access to human and animal companionship.

“An Elder-centered community imbues daily life with variety and spontaneity by creating an environment in which unexpected and unpredictable interactions and happenings can take place.

“This is the antidote to boredom.”

Another principle of the Eden Alternative says, “An Elder-centered community honors its Elders by de-emphasizing top-down, bureaucratic authority, seeking instead to place the maximum possible decision-making authority into the hands of the Elders or into the hands of those closest to them.”

The story that Providence Place won with was about the new gazebo, built this summer, and one resident in partic-

Providence Place is owned by the Daysland and District Aging in Place Foundation, who hires Connecting Care to oversee the operations of the facility.

CP Holiday Train to make a stop in Hardisty this December Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The CP Holiday Train will be coming around the bend in Hardisty again this year. It is scheduled to appear in Hardisty on Dec. 5, arriving at 9 p.m.

This year’s train will feature performances by Scott Helman and

Madeline Merlo in a free railside concert .

The Holiday Train concert is free, but CP encourages donations to the local Food Bank.

During their last visit, Hardisty businesses, organizations, and individuals raised $7,500 and 1,500 pounds of food for the Flagstaff Food Bank and gifts for

Flagstaff Christmas Sharing.

On top of that, the CP Holiday Train donated another $2,500 to the food bank.

Hardisty CAO Sandy Otto says she’d like to challenge the community to outdo the 2017 totals.

Lynne Jenkinson is the board Secretary of

the Flagstaff Food Bank and typically who goes on stage at the event and accepts the donations.

“The support of CP Rail, Hardisty, and the entire Flagstaff Community is always outstanding and humbling when the train comes through.”

The two previous visits have been Monday

there.

Otto says that Hardisty is lucky enough to have a CP bunkhouse, which is another great boon because it designates Hardisty as a place to overnight, which translates into getting a visit from the CP Holiday Train in all her glory with all the lights glowing.

Not to say that a daytime visit is not truly special, or a glimpse of the train as it travels to its next destination, day or night, is not a treat, but there’s nothing quite like seeing the Christmas train coming around the bend into Hardisty for the first time.

and Tuesday nights, and town merchants have been very responsive in organizing late-night shopping and other activities despite it being so early in the week.

This year with the train visiting on a Thursday evening, it is hoped that the event will attract even more visitors.

It was recently announced that the Hardisty Rodeo Association will be hosting a Christmas Market and Beef Supper in the Elks Hall that evening, stay tuned for more activities.

The train is scheduled to stay overnight in Hardisty and travel to Camrose the next day for a midday concert

Sedgewick Sabres beat Coronation in home opener Emily Tanton Student Reporter

Two wins and two losses was what the home teams ended up with over the weekend in the East Central Senior Hockey League, with Sedgewick and Forestburg coming away with wins, and Hughenden falling just short.

The Sedgewick Sabres won 6-1 against the Coro-

nation Royals last Friday, Oct. 25, scoring all six of their goals on the power play. Clay Lang scored the first two goals in the first period and assisted the Dean Brodie goal in the first as well Royals’ Aaron Neumeier scored the first goal in the second after 10 seconds, however, Kurtis Clarkson and Lang each retaliated with goals of their own min-

utes later. The third period saw only Ryan Guhle score but that was certainly enough for the Sabres to secure a win.

The Forestburg Flyers drove to Consort last Friday, where they won 6-4 and more than doubled the Comet’s shots on net.

The Flyers scored the first four goals of the game, foreshadowing the eventual outcome. Drew Bish scored on a pass from

Arnett and Burgess receives industry award for innovation at modern Sedgewick facility Leslie Cholowsky Editor

When Steve Arnett conducted tours of A & B’s new facility in Sedgewick, he was proud to show off an innovative, unique, and efficient equipment wash bay in the building.

The bay’s design includes under-carriage sprayers that help reduce the time for washing an excavator from four hours to 45 minutes, he said at the time.

The special design of the wash bay contains dirt and sediments in a pit, allowing the water being used to be captured and recycled through the system.

“We’re getting a lot of notice on this,” Arnett said in 2016.

Turns out, he was right.

In late September of this year, Arnett & Burgess Pipeliners was presented with the 2019 Canadian Energy Pipeline Association Foundation Quality Award for their wash bay facility in Sedgewick.

“This award recognizes A & B’s entire Equipment Team for having designed and constructed a best-in-class, modern facility system currently operating in Alberta in their line of work, one that reduces risks to the environment, improves safety, and increases quality control.

Not only has the wash bay design received this award, but it has also received industry engagement, and the company says facility tours for John Deere, Finning, Strongco, Mid-West, Tim Martin, Cross Country

Pipeline Supply Canada, ATCO, TC Energy, Enbridge, Plains Midstream, Gibson Energy, Inter Pipeline, and Flagstaff County.

“Tours are ongoing today demonstrating our willingness to share across the industry.”

Arnett & Burgess Pipeliners was recently awarded the 2019 Canadian Energy Pipeline Association Foundation Quality Award for their wash bay in their Sedgewick facility.

Exploring funding gaps between men and women in agriculture Emily Tanton Student Reporter

Money Where Our Mouths Are (MWOMA) is the first-ever investigation into the funding gaps between men and women founders in the AgriFoodTech industry in the report by the same name released September 2019.

This report proves the disparity exists through data and testimonials, and establishes a framework for what to do in response to their findings.

The report makes some bold statements about gender inequality and how that affects funding for new businesses in the food industry, where long-term focus is crucial.

Agriculture and food are both causes of and solutions for the most contentious and urgent global issues of our time: climate change, soil fertility, health and nutrition, food access and distribution, and clean water, says the report.

Data from MWOMA shows that women are strong, resourceful, and enduring business leaders. The data shows that their companies are profitable sooner and have a growth rate that exceeds their male counterparts.

But when farming and major scalable processing are involved, women take a back-seat in terms of funding.

MWOMA quoted a male investor who spoke with the group saying, “Investment is risky business. The numbers are the numbers, but I will much more easily take a risk on someone who looks, acts, and speaks like me.�

With more than 82 per cent of investment decision-makers being men, it’s easy to spot where the bias lays.

In the past, female-founded startups raised larger funds in the beginning, but raised much less throughout the duration of their operation.

In 2018, only 16 per cent of all agritech startups had at least one woman as a co-founder and only seven per cent of funded projects were led by women founders; the numbers haven’t varied in the last five years.

MWOMA testifies that food manufacturing has struggled to innovate for years due to the lack of diversity allowed in the food sector.

Non-traditional and often less-established agri-food investors have different expectations than is normal in regards to animal welfare, the environment, and

nutrition, and it is in these areas that women often lead in positive change.

MWOMA also claims that women tend to reinvest new wealth back into their communities, including families, health, and education.

Women are reported making 85 per cent of buying decisions and are always looking for solutions to problems they see in the household.

The report also wants to reiterate that they are not advocating for sameness. “Real change will happen by simultaneously increasing the diversity of players on both sides of the pitch deck, which can only happen where there is willingness to actually see the person on the other side of the table for who

she is, to assume she is there because she has authority in her field, and can ably detail every facet of how her business operates, while providing a realistic financial forecast for growth.�

MWOMA came out of extensive research and the report findings urge any woman looking to start a business in the Agri-FoodTech industry to advocate for themselves and their right to funding “There is more private capital than ever, yet we are nowhere near parity in terms of how women can access that capital. “With the growth of women-owned businesses far outpacing those of men, it’s bad business not to invest in women.�

New Mayor for Alliance at organizational meeting Libby Whittall 780-888-5097

Alliance libbywhittall@gmail.com

I’m trying to write today’s column with a new kitten’s sharp claws swatting at my hands while I type. After church Sunday morning, before our communal lunch, Diane Dammann told me she had brought three kittens from her cat’s last litter especially for me.

Feeling a bit panicky, I exclaimed that there was no way I could take all three, but I could try one.

Diane smiled the smile of a good sales woman and lead me out to her car to look at them. It took a bit of deciding, but I finally chose the ginger-cream tabby.

As the half wild kitten ran about my house, discovering all the special hiding places that cats love, I couldn’t figure out a name to call him. I asked my friends on Facebook whose suggestions included Mittens and Kitty. Kittens only stay cute for a short while and figuring this one would grow into a large impressive orange blonde tom cat, I decided to name him Rufus le Blount after

an ancient ancestor of mine.

It seems that property sales in Alliance are picking up and several homes have recently sold. Also, I've heard there are new people who have come to rent homes in the village too. There are still several great houses for sale at very reasonable prices and with such close proximity to the excellent Alliance ski-hill and ice arena, I’m sure there are some sports-minded people who will snap them up soon.

Alliance has a new mayor.

Josephine Mackenzie is originally from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and her northern spirit brings a can-do attitude to everything she does. She was nominated as Mayor during the Oct. 17 organizational meeting of council.

The Village of Alliance is changing. Where it was once made up of people involved in the farming community with many common interests, the population is now leaning towards retirees from the city who come from all walks of life.

One activity of note for all newcomers is coffee time every weekday morning at the Inn. It’s a

good way to meet new friends, make connections, and enjoy a snack.

Village resident Molly Boudreau has spent the last week visiting her sister in Dubai. She shared her pictures on Facebook, showing the difference between the lives of the wealthy and those of the working class. Fantastic white skyscrapers and huge glass storefront windows filled with golden jewels for sale contrasted sharply with simple sail boats fishing on the blue sea and faded oriental markets.

With the onset of winter in Alberta and the biting cold wind accompanying it, the sandy beaches, warm winds, and blue oceans of the Arabian peninsula are a far-off dream. Closer to our reality are the local farmers struggling to get their crops in at what feels like minus 20 degree temperatures. If my collie dog’s fur coat is any indicator, it will be a hard winter around here this year: the fur on her paws has suddenly grown two inches.

4919 - 50 St., Killam, Alberta 780-385-6693 ads@thecommunitypress.com news@thecommunitypress.com Flagstaff County & Area’s #1 Choice since 1908!

The Community Press is one of Flagstaff County’s longest-established businesses.

The very first issue of the weekly newspaper arrived in mailboxes on July 16, 1908 as The Sedgewick Sentinel.

Since that time, with the exception of scheduled breaks like Christmas, the weekly newspaper has published uninterrupted for over 111 years!

The ‘Press, then Sentinel, was founded by a young pressman who had moved his family to Alberta from Ontario named A.J. Honey.

Honey sold the operation after seven years to the Eastly family, which lived mostly in the Sedgewick area.

A.L. Eastly acquired a number of town and village newspapers in the County during the 1920s and ‘30s, amalgamating them into The Community Press, as it has since been known.

By 1942, the elder Eastly was in ailing health, and his son Arthur assumed the business and the role of Editor and Publisher. A.L. passed away shortly thereafter following a lengthy illness.

Arthur, “Art” for short, ran The Community Press for the next 27 years. He was perhaps best known for his riveting and thought-provoking editorials. Like his father, Art liked to keep the conversation alive, even when the subject matter was controversial in a changing world. Art also provided a calming and brave voice during WWII. Today, The Community Press dedicates its English 30 scholarship to his memory.

In 1969, the ‘Press was sold to businessman Monte Keith. The Keith family also purchased The Alliance Enterprise, printing them separately for a number of years before eventually merging the Enterprise with the ‘Press. Keith brought a number of technological changes to the newspaper, moving the operation from handset type into the modern age of offset in the mid-1970s.

Rick Truss of Sedgewick purchased half of Keith’s shares in 1977, and together they installed a web press, offset camera, and new photo equipment.

Truss became sole owner in 1985, and remained a partner in the business until 2005. Truss was a true print wizard, successfully running his Flagstaff Printing business until his retirement.

In 1985, after closing out a partnership with the Keiths in Wainwright, Kerry Anderson came to the ‘Press. He entered into a partnership with Truss in 1989, becoming co-owner. He is still an owner to this day, making him the longest-tenured proprietor in the history of the paper.

Anderson and Truss made many updates, including the expensive move into the digital age with modern Apple desktop computers.

Anderson’s popular “From the Stands” column is still talked about fondly by long-time readers. He was active on Chambers, Rec Boards, and in the Killam Lions Club for many years before leaving the area in 2005.

A number of his creative sales initiatives and special sections remain active to this day.

With the acquisition of two other east central Alberta newspapers, and the founding of a fourth in 2005, Kerry moved to Tofield to be more active in the overall running of the newspaper group, which was later to be known as ‘Caribou Publishing.’ Kerry still contributes to the ‘Press to this day with his minor hockey report and his regular opinion pieces.

Kerry’s son Eric joined the business as a student reporter in fall of 2003. Following school, he moved up by learning every position in the company; his skill set being specific to graphic design, page layout, and strategic planning. He was Production Manager from 2006 to 2010, temporary Editor in 2007-2008 and became permanent Publisher in 2010. He is also Publisher of The Weekly Review in Viking, Senior VP of Caribou Publishing, and is transitioning into an ownership capacity.

Eric has been a key contributor in bringing the ‘Press into the modern age, as the publishing process itself has changed significantly in the past 15 years. A hands-on publisher, he estimates he has personally paginated and signed off on over 750 editions of the ‘Press.

Today, The Community Press maintains a consistent number of area subscribers, a large page count (consistently 28-32 pages) and high community engagement, covering all of Flagstaff County plus the municipalities of Bawlf, Amisk, Hughenden, and Czar.

“The support we continue to receive is unbelievable,” says Eric. “We are so grateful for this region and hope to remain a relevant and important voice for many years to come.”

Leslie Cholowsky, Eric’s mother, became Editor in 2010 after a vacancy unexpectedly arose. Being Kerry’s first wife, Leslie often jokes; “we are the poster children for ‘don’t burn your bridges.’”

Leslie joined the ‘Press after working many years at a local insurance busi-

ness. She also previously edited News column.

Karen Ruzicka has been with the E-books as a side business, co-owing an E-book publishing company that was ‘Press since 2006 as the Administrator. well ahead of its time.

Hockey Continued from Page 10 scored the third goal, and Dustin Nahajowich scored the fourth.

The Comets interrupted the Flyers’ barrage of goals with three of their own, one at the end of the first and two in the beginning of the second. Nahajowich scored his second of the night for the Flyers in the second period.

The third period saw Jordan Heck score one for Forestburg; an answering goal from Consort wasn’t enough to mount a comeback.

Hughenden lost to the Irma Aces over the weekend, scoring only four to the Aces’ eight.

Forestburg and Hughenden will be facing off this Friday in Forestburg and Sedgewick will be playing in Provost at the

same time.

In the North Central Senior Hockey League, Daysland travelled all the way to Morinville just to lose 9-5 on the road. Scorers of the game for Daysland were Kenny Bradley, Ryley Ben-

nefield, Tanner Korchinski, and Mikey Mantello, with Dom Buffalo in net.

Daysland will have a home game this Saturday against the Red Deer Rustlers in the Max McLean Arena in Camrose.

Wheat Kings turn it around over weekend Emily Tanton Student Reporter The Wheat Kings played one exciting game on the road over the weekend against the Vegreville Rangers. With the final score being 5-0 in favour of Killam, there were plenty of reasons for players on both teams to get mixed up in some fights.

Period one saw the Wheat Kings score three goals, with Dalton Zemanek shooting one past the Rangers’ goalie, Ryan Koenig, just 40 seconds into the game.

Chase Schatschneider had an impressive game scoring two in the first and one in the second thanks to passes from Chad Bonnett and Kohl Forster.

Carter Ortman scored one in the second period, just minutes before hopping the bench and getting into a fight with Rangers’ Noah Budinski. The fight resulted in 79 penalty minutes between the two men and must have left some bad blood between the teams after the second period.

The third period saw no goals get past the Wheat Kings’ goalie, Devon Naslund, nor the Rangers’ back-up goalie, Cale Stefan, however, the third was not lacking in action, especially for Killam’s Rhett Bergseth.

After suffering a hit to the head that sparked a brawl between teams, Bergseth

was forced to get in the fight to ensure an even battle. In just his first game getting called up with the Wheat Kings, Bergseth racked up 12 penalty minutes and was kicked out, along with two other teammates from the fight.

After the weekend, Kobe Charchun is in third place in the league leaderboad with 18 points and with just

his penalties from one game, Carter Ortman is third in the league for penalty minutes.

The Wheat Kings will have home games this weekend on Friday and Saturday against the Lloydminster Bandits and the St. Paul Canadiens respectively. Make sure you check one or both out and support the Wheat Kings.

OBITUARY

Jim Pituka

Jim was born in Drumheller, Alberta on October 4, 1936, and grew up in New Castle area; swimming in the river

and climbing the hills with his three brothers.

Jim was predeceased by his parents Frank and Katie Pituka; his brothers: Ross, Ted, and Dennis Pituka.

Left to mourn him are his wife of 55 years, Helga (Rust) Pituka; two children: Melody and husband Dan Lindbeck, Steve and wife Alida Pituka; five grandchildren: Tristyn Lindbeck and partner Chris Gillespie, Devin Lindbeck, Andrea

Atkings, Rachael General, and Miranda Pituka.

Jim worked for Canadian Utilities at the plant in Drumheller until it shut down in the early 60's. He then moved to Forestburg, Alberta, to work at The Battle River Plant where he met his wife.

He was retired from Atco for 27 years, in which time he and his wife went south for the winter, went on a couple of cruises and traveled to the Dominican Republic.

Faith Column: How precious is a life?

When was the last time you held a newborn child and said, “How useless?”

When was the last time that you picked up and snotty nosed child and wiped their tears and nose and said, “What a waste?”

When was the last time you cuddled a toddler and thought what a waste of time?

Now you may be asking yourself why all this useless babble? Why is this guy asking such ridiculous questions?

Well, I guess I would answer this question this way.

If babies are so incredibly marvelous and snotty

nosed kids are so attractive, and toddlers so loveable; when did the change take place?

Now that I have totally confused you; Hear me out.

Through my years of ministry including eight of them in West Edmonton Mall, I have talked to numerous young people and kids and young adults who feel absolutely useless and insignificant.

They feel like there is absolutely no good thing within them. They feel like they are constantly having to prove themselves to the whole world.

Did their worth to the

world suddenly change?

And Why? Did they suddenly somehow become ugly and unattractive or what?

Sorry folks, but these are some of the things that plague my poor mind.

Whether we are fiveminutes-old or five-yearsold or 15 with zits or 90 with wrinkles; we are still precious in His (God’s) sight and must be treated with proper respect and love and dignity.

Just my thoughts today.

Be Kind To Someone.

Submitted By Ben Kellert Killam Pentecostal Church

As a young man he played baseball in the Drumheller, Hanna, Oyen leagues and continued to play in Forestburg.

He was an avid golfer and won many tournaments including the Diplomat Cup in Forestburg.

Jim continued to golf until the side effects from diabetes caused him to stop. Three years ago, he moved to Hanna's Long Term Care Facility, where he received excellent care until he passed away on October 13, 2019.

He is missed by all of his family.

Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary has busy, successful year Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary is up and running again this fall with 18 members.

After a summer hiatus, they have had two monthly meetings, and regular programming is underway.

Long Term Care bingos, as well as recreational activities and outings, continued throughout the summer.

New large-print bingo cards have been ordered.

The VolunTeen program had their organizational meeting with 17 volunteens registered and these youths, aged 14-18, are currently volunteering at the Hardisty Health Centre.

The Auxiliary members were very pleased this fall to present Kelsey Mazure, a five-year VolunTeen, with a $1,200 bursary for completing a Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathol-

ogy at the University of Alberta.

Kelsey is currently employed at Leduc Health Centre and is working with school-aged children.

An antique incubator was donated to the auxiliary by John Salamon.

They chose to restore this item and the project is now complete and on display in the lobby of the Hardisty Health Centre. Special thanks go out to the Lougheed Colony for sandblasting and prepping the incubator, as well as to Dorothy Rogers and Brian Vleeming for the beautiful paint job.

The incubator will remain on display for a few months and then will be donated to the Lougheed Museum.

The Dietary Department is most appreciative of a much-needed, new blender that was purchased using funds do-

Not everyone who sells Insurance is an Insurance Specialist.

These days, you can just click on or dial up an insurance policy.

While that may suit some people, most prefer to deal with a specialist. An independent broker can show you the best way to achieve your goals.

Our role is to study and understand the vast variety of choices that are out there, and to help you cut through the clutter.

You can count on us as your needs change, or when you have to make a claim. Nobody does insurance better!
