Canada declares April 17 National Day of Mourning for His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Government of Canada will hold a national commemorative ceremony in honour of His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh who passed away this past Friday, on Saturday, April 17, at 12:30 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa.

The ceremony is to be held without a congregation, and will be broadcast live

by CBC and Radio-Canada. It will include virtual tributes and performances.

To honour the memory of His Royal Highness, a National Day of Mourning will be proclaimed on the day of the ceremony. In addition, the Government of Canada has proceeded with a half-masting of the National Flag of Canada.

Flags are being flown at half-mast on all Government of Canada buildings and establishments, in Canada and abroad, until sunset on Saturday.

A gun salute in Canada will also be conducted in honour of His Royal Highness.

Canadians are invited to visit a com-

memorative website to learn more about His Royal Highness and his enduring commitment to Canada, where they may also sign an online Book of Condolences.

The commemorative website and a link to send condolences can be found at: www.canada.ca/en/canadianheritage/commemoration-dukeedinburgh.html A commemorative portrait and card in memory of Prince Philip may also be downloaded (see picture-left).

“Today, our hearts are heavy with sorrow for the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. On behalf of the people of Alberta, I extend deepest condolences to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We also extend our sincerest sympathies to all other members of the Royal Family,” said Jason Kenney, Premier.

The Province is also hosting an online condolence book, where Albertans can share messages of sympathy and support for the family through an online book of condolence, which is available at alberta.ca/PrincePhilipMemorial.

Women’s Conference trying new virtual format to connect Leslie Cholowsky Editor

With a year like no other, and a lot of people feeling disconnected to friends and family, organizers of the Women’s Conference felt that a pivot was required for the 2021 event.

“We want to provide Flagstaff women with something similar to what we’ve done in years past, while still allowing them the opportunity to safely connect with their peers,” says Flagstaff Community Adult Learning Director Nanette Jones. That’s why this year’s conference is being offered virtually, open to anyone with access to a computer and internet or cellular connection, and at a reduced ticket price.

Last year’s event, scheduled for April 2020, was abruptly cancelled when the province declared a pandemic a month before. Luckily, because the pandemic isn’t an issue affecting only Flagstaff, keynote

speaker Tracy Schmitt, otherwise known as “Unstoppable Tracy,” was amenable to rescheduling her appearance.

Jones says that by hosting the conference virtually this year, they were able to reduce costs normally incurred, through hall rental and food service, which allowed them to drop the ticket price while still bringing plenty to offer for participants.

As an added bonus, anyone who purchases their ticket by Thursday, April 15, is guaranteed to receive a copy of Schmitt’s best-selling book, “Unstoppable You,” as well as a swag bag that contains some special treats.

Jones says each swag bag also holds a special golden envelope with a door prize entry inside.

The day will go from 10 to 3, and will include not only the keynote speaker, but will also be offering two ‘cracker-barrel’ sessions, with six options to choose from.

These sessions will run a little longer than the traditional 20 minutes, but Jones says the feedback from past presenters has advocated for longer sessions.

There will be a presentation on the Flagstaff Crafted program, and live polls during the morning and afternoon sessions.

Joanne McMahon will once again be the emcee for this year’s conference.

“We would love the women of Flagstaff County to sign up,” says Jones. “That’s our priority. But if you want to invite friends or family from outside the county, we wouldn’t say no!”

Jones thinks that the time we’re living through right now is the perfect time to take in Unstoppable Tracy’s message.

Schmitt has delivered her message to millions, via live presentations, and events like Ted Talks, often to standing ovations.

She’s written multiple motivational books, in-

cluding “Unstoppable You.” With all this success, you might be surprised to find out that Schmitt was born a fourway amputee.

She says: “No matter where you are in life, sometimes you just need to be inspired.

“You are a great leader pushing to drive your inner power. That's never easy. And sometimes you will feel like you can't do it anymore, any better, or any other way.

“In 'Unstoppable You', Unstoppable Tracy helps you see that you can conquer your impossible.”

Using humour comes naturally to Schmitt, and she finds ways to help her listeners turn ordinary days into an extraordinary today. Schmitt’s story is one of resilience and success, and is inspiring.

Jones says, “We could all use a little of that right now.”

The conference will be presented via Zoom, an online, multi-person platform that allows partici-

pants to see and interact with one another as much or as little as they want. “You don’t have to have a camera, or a microphone, to participate,” Jones says.

She’s supplied an article (below) with some Zoom basics.

Jones says it might be fun to dress up and meet with some friends you haven’t seen for a while, even if you’re separated by a screen.

But that’s not a prereq-

uisite, if you’re more comfortable, come in your pjs!

Jones encourages the women of Flagstaff to sign up now. “It’s giving us not only something we can look forward to, but also a way to reconnect, and recharge.”

Tickets are available through EventBrite, or can be reserved via email, to director@fcal.net, or even by calling FCAL’s Killam office and leaving a message.

Edmonton man arrested for local B&E

Leslie Cholowsky Editor, with files from Cpl. Trent Cleveland, Killam RCMP

During the period from March 29 to April 11, the Killam RCMP Detachment members dealt with 83 occurrences.

Members received a 911 call about a break and enter to a residence where the complainant reported that there was an unknown man who had broken into their house.

Members attended and located Steven McDonald.

McDonald was arrested and charged with break and enter and possession of break and enter instruments. McDonald, 29, is from Edmonton.

Members received a complaint of threats being uttered when a complainant called RCMP to request a police presence at a residence in Galahad to collect personal items.

RCMP say the subject of the complaint had threatened the individual if they were to step onto the property. Members kept the peace during the exchange and the matter was resolved without incident. The complainant declined to pursue charges for threats.

False 911 calls remain steady, with three incidents in the last two weeks. Police are required to follow every 911 call. There was one false alarm during this period.

RCMP received three complaints of abandoned motor vehicles, and three inquiries regarding crime

prevention.

There were two break and enters reported, as well as two mischief, and three reports of theft under $5,000.

Two instances of possession of property obtained by crime were investigated.

Four complaints of theft of vehicle were made to Killam RCMP. RCMP responded to one animal call.

There were three reports of assault.

RCMP had one report of arson in the last two weeks.

Members were called to Hardisty, at 50 Street and 52 Avenue on Saturday, April 10 where a demonstration took place. Corporal Trent Cleveland said, “We were advised that the guest host that was to be attending was a Mark Friesen from Saskatoon who is a People’s Party of Canada candidate for the Saskatoon-Grasswood constituency.”

Police were advised that the demonstration had to do with Anti-Covid restrictions. “The information that we got was ‘Come hear from Mark Friesen... the fearless Canadian prairie defender, freedom fighter, and corruption exposer, that will shed light on the inconsistencies from the mainstream media and uncover the truth about the Great Reset.’”

Cleveland says that around 30 people were in attendance. Members remained in the area throughout the event until it ended, with no problems raised.

RCMP dealt with one attempted flight from a police

officer.

There were two fraud complaints, currently being investigated.

RCMP laid 17 provincial violation tickets, and dealt with five motor vehicle collisions (non-injury) Members had two calls under the Mental Health Act. Two trespasses were reported, as well as one possession of a scheduled substance.

Police had nine suspicious persons or vehicles reported during the past two weeks, and wish to thank those who took the time to report these.

This week the Alberta RCMP highlighted reasons NOT to call 911 for National Public Safety Telecommunicators week, which runs April 11 to 17th.

They highlighted some of the more “interesting” calls received over the past year.

“People are not always aware of what constitutes an emergency.

“Our teams work hard behind the scenes 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days a year to manage incoming calls for service to keep our citizens and communities safe throughout Alberta.

“Sometimes, it is interesting to review what shouldn’t be done in order to understand what is appropriate to do.”

Here are some interesting calls that operators received to 911 in the past year: •“My phone settings are all in another language, how can I change it back?”

•“Can you bring me a

hamburger? I am hungry and cannot drive!”

•“I need you to stop my teenage son from vaping!”

•“My neighbour is plowing snow incorrectly!”

•“The neighbour’s kids strum the guitar every time I go for a smoke. No matter what time of day, this has been ongoing for three months since the start of lockdown.”

• RCMP received multiple calls reporting suspicious satellites when SpaceX launched.

•After reporting that their airplane had been redirected from Edmonton to Calgary, a caller refused to exit the plane until their luggage was provided to them first.

With more than 890,000 calls for service to 911 recorded in the past year, RCMP want to remind citizens to be mindful that emergency communications centres are busy at all hours with incoming calls about public safety.

RCMP advise that: “911 should only be dialed in true emergency situations – when public or personal safety is at risk or a crime is in progress.”

Spike in COVID-19 cases within BRSD Moush John Staff Reporter

There’s been a rise in the number of positive cases across the BRSD school region, resulting in the school division taking precautions to slow down the spread.

“The COVID-19 numbers have been rising throughout our school division’s geographic area, throughout Alberta and beyond,” said Diane Hutchinson, BRSD Communications Director.

“Four weeks ago, our geographic area had five active cases in total. But as of yesterday, we are at 153 active cases.”

Hutchinson said that in the Battle River area, the schools did not have any COVID cases during January or February.

“We experienced two positive cases during the month of March – one in Forestburg and one in New Norway.

“However, since the return from Spring Break on April 6, we have been made aware of multiple people connected to our school division who have tested positive for COVID-19, or who are currently in quarantine as close contacts, due to exposures that have happened outside of school or work.”

In the last week, BRSD has identified three cases at Hay Lakes School, two

cases at Ecole Charlie Killam School, two cases at Ecole Camrose Composite High School, and one case at Jack Stuart School that have required them to implement their positive case response protocol.

“All of these cases appear to have been a result of community exposure – they do not appear to have been contracted at school,” Hutchinson explained.

“On Saturday, April 10, BRSD received approval from Alberta Health Services (AHS) and Alberta Education to switch Hay Lakes School to remote learning for two weeks, from April 12 to April 23.

“This is due to the high absentee rate

at the school, as students from all grade levels are absent due to a community-based exposure. On Friday, April 9, there were about 75 students absent from Hay Lakes School!”

Hutchinson confirmed that since schools resumed in-person learning on Jan. 11, they have not had any COVID19 positive cases reported in Beaver County schools.

“Case numbers are rising in the community and that means case numbers go up in schools as well.

“All schools continue to ensure children stay in small cohorts, practice hand sanitizing, and wear masks, as we continue to have increased cleaning of high touch surfaces.”

MLA voices displeasure over BRSD curriculum decision Jackie Lovely Camrose MLA

I’d like to start off by saying that I am profoundly disappointed with Battle River School Division’s flip flop decision on piloting part of the new curriculum. By far, education was one of the most contentious items people in our constituency brought forward to me at the door during the campaign.

When Albertans voted for the United Conservatives in 2019, they voted for a party that would get politics out of school curriculums and ensure that social studies would provide opportunities for students to learn and appreciate the ideas that have shaped Alberta, Canada and the world.

Social studies should be about teaching students to think critically about historical and contemporary issues, not indoctrinating students with the anti-oil politics of radical groups like ‘Extinction Rebellion’ or socialist literature like “Mouseland” as members of the NDP would prefer.

That’s why Alberta’s new K-6 cur-

riculum focuses on helping students develop skills that will prepare them to lead fulfilling lives and play a significant role in our democratic society.

Under Alberta’s new K-6 curriculum, Grade 1 students will develop a better understanding of Canada’s First Peoples by learning creation stories from local First Nations and Inuit communities, including the Blackfoot legend of Napi and creation stories from Cree, Dene and Inuit communities.

In Grade 2, students will learn about the common roots and overlapping beliefs and traditions of Judaism, Christianity, Sikhism, Islam and other religions. They will be taught about the emergence of democracy, the Olympics in Ancient Greece and how Roman influence on law and infrastructure can still be seen around us today.

Students in Grades 3 and 4 will learn about the role of the first European explorers and settlements in Canada.

This includes lessons on the founding of New France by Samuel de Champlain, the fur trade and its IN ASSOCIATION WITH:

importance in the Athabasca region, Plains Cree culture, Alexander Mackenzie’s quest to find the Northwest Passage, and the emergence of the Hudson’s Bay Company.

In Grade 5 and 6, students will begin studying the important role eight million English, Scottish and Irish immigrants had in shaping British North America and the American 13 colonies.

They will learn about the union of Upper and Lower Canada and its significance in the relationship of English and French Canada today.

They will also be introduced to historical conflicts like the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, the War of 1812 and the American Civil War. Further, while the current curriculum contains only one reference to Black history in Grade 5, our new K-6 curriculum will teach students, starting in Grade 3, about Black history in a very comprehensive way, focusing on prominent Black Albertans like John Ware and Violent King and Black settlements like Amber Valley.

This new K-6 curriculum is a modern

Brain thinking it’s 2018 again, unfortunately just wishful thinking Ally Anderson Killam News

Howdy my fellow Killamites. I hope you are all doing well despite the constant restrictions of COVID playing games with our mental health. I am all for restrictions to keep these new variants at a low number, but I do miss my family a lot.

I haven’t been able to see them since before Christmas, and that was for a short chat while we

dropped some gifts off at my parents’ place. They thankfully are able to get vaccinated as their age group has been called forward to book in their appointments.

I am counting down the days until they say those born in 1991 can get a shot.

Hopefully you are all staying safe, continuing to follow the restrictions, and are keeping busy.

One day you look outside and the sun is shining, it’s nice and warm out, and

the next it is blizzarding and back to negative temperatures. Mother Nature is a finicky lady and likes to play some “fun” games with us during the spring.

At least out here we are appreciative of the moisture to get those fields and pasture ready.

I enjoyed a nice trip to Budding Ideas Saturday to browse their store and went home with some new house plants. As always, check them out.

Does anyone else have

oddly specific noises that get on your nerves in a matter of seconds? For example, Eric’s is the sound of people chewing. I know that one is pretty common amongst people, but I raise you this.

Hearing the sound of my dog licking whatever tasty treat is packed into the centre of a bone drives me up the wall. Funny how they seem to know and, to be little pests, curl up as close to your ear as possible so you hear the

sounds in high definition.

Do you sometimes fall into a moment of autopilot when filling out dates on things? Often times I do, and the other day my brain decided to travel back in time when I wrote 2018 after the date. Apparently I’m just willfully putting myself back in time when we were free to roam about wherever we want and aren’t at risk of catching a serious illness. Ah yes, I know many of us wish to be writing 2018

Additional funding for small businesses Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Province announced on Tuesday, April 13, that small businesses affected by the most recent public health orders can qualify for another payment of up to $10,000 from the Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch grant.

Alberta businesses affected by the latest public health orders will be eligible to apply for another payment in the second half of April. This additional payment will also be available to new busi-

nesses that began operating between March 1, 2020, and March 31, 2021, as well as hotels, taxis, and ride-sharing services.

“Small businesses have borne the brunt of pandemic restrictions, and have made real sacrifices to protect our health-care system and save lives.

That’s why Alberta’s government has already committed over $500 million in support through the Small and Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant, and it’s why we are expanding that support today,” said Premier Jason Kenney on Tues-

day.

The initial grant program had nearly 50,000 applicants.

Small businesses, cooperatives, and non-profit organizations with fewer than 500 employees that have faced restrictions or closures due to COVID19 public health orders, and have experienced revenue losses of at least 30 per cent, are eligible to recoup 15 per cent of their pre-COVID revenue, times three, up to a maximum of $20,000 and new organizations who commenced operations between March 1 to Oct.

Flagstaff ranks #2 in recycling category Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The numbers are in for 2020 provincial collection volumes for the Pesticide and Fertilizer Container Recycling Program, and Flagstaff Solid Waste Regional Landfill contributed 31,380 pounds of plastic waste for recycling.

That’s the second-highest in the province, with Didsbury coming out in the number one spot with 45,225 pounds.

The number of pounds is the weight of shredded recycled plastic from chemical containers recycled in over 150 sites in Alberta, says Flagstaff Waste Manager Murray Hampshire.

Flagstaff County was fifth highest in 2019, pointing to the continued success of the recycling program in our region.

CleanFarms delivers the recycling program in the province, which collects, cleans, and recycles empty commercial class pesticide containers less than 23 litres. It does not include barrels over 23 litres, or granular product containers.

Containers are to be rinsed, according to CleanFarms guidelines.

Instructions can be found at flagwaste.ca/chemicaljug-rinse-procedure.

The main collection site is located at the main landfill, north of Sedgewick on RR #122, and Flagstaff Waste recommends that those wishing to drop off containers call ahead to ensure that there is adequate space.

In 2018, CleanFarms reported a 65 per cent recovery rate, but this December the organization reported “Farmers were eager to return more empty containers than ever before, helping CleanFarms get past the 65 per cent return rate.”

Despite delays caused in collection in 2020 due to the pandemic, CleanFarms says it is optimistic that farmers may have set a new record for recycling.

BRSD says no to province’s new K-6 curriculum Moush John Staff Reporter

In a new turn of events, BRSD will not be introducing the new K-6 curriculum this fall as decided earlier by the school division.

“School divisions do always expect to be involved in piloting any changes to curriculum, as that is an opportunity to review its strengths and provide feedback,” said Superintendent Rita Marler.

“In our first glance at the overview of the curriculum we were

particularly pleased to see the emphasis on literacy and numeracy, both of which are extremely important to us.

“However, we have now made the decision not to be involved in piloting any aspect of the curriculum next year.

“It is based on our own more detailed review, recognition of the challenges that students and staff have experienced this year, and, in part, due to the feedback of both teachers and parents who are expressing concern that we have made

that decision.”

Marler added that the decision was reached upon “careful consideration.”

In a statement released on Monday, April 12, BRSD said that the school division will continue its enhanced focus on building student literacy and numeracy skills next year.

In addition, it will continue to have a strong focus on meeting students’ diverse learning and wellness needs.

It further stated that the school division would

End of an era: Duke of Edinburgh passes at age 99 Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The United Kingdom of Britain, its territories, and all countries of the British Commonwealth are in mourning this week after the Duke of Edinburgh, HRH Queen Elizabeth II’s consort, passed away on Friday, April 9, at the age of 99.

Also known as Prince Philip, a title bestowed on him by Queen Elizabeth in 1957, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh was born on June 10, 1921 to Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg.

His family was forced into exile in the early 1920’s when the Greek monarchy was abolished.

King George V, Elizabeth’s grandfather, ordered that Philip’s family be evacuated, and at 18 months old, the Prince was carried to safety in a cot made from an orange box, it is said.

The family made their home in Paris, and Prince Philip was educated in France, England, and Germany.

He joined the Royal Navy, graduating from the Royal Naval College as ‘best cadet’ in 1939. Prince Philip served on the HMS Valiant during WWII, and was awarded the Greek War Cross of Valour.

He was promoted to lieutenant in 1942, then first-lieutenant of the destroyer HMS Wallace.

In 1952, His Royal Highness was promoted to Commander, but his naval career ended after the death of King George VI, and Elizabeth’s rise to the throne.

The two had met in 1940, when the Prince was 18 and the future queen was 13. Both were great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

Philip began courting HRH Princess Elizabeth in 1946, becoming engaged in 1947. The two were married in Westminster Abbey Nov. 20, 1947. They celebrated 73 years of marriage in November 2020.

Prince Philip was not called King, despite being married to the Queen, because men who marry a monarch in the British Empire do not use the title King.

That title is reserved for those males who inherit the throne.

When Princess Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, Prince Philip changed his focus to his work in support of his Queen.

Prince Philip and HRH Queen Elizabeth II had four children: Prince Charles, heir to the throne; Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, and Prince Edward.

Prince Philip held many honourary military positions in Canada. He was Colonel-in-Chief for: The Royal Canadian Regiment, since 1952, of Petawawa and Oromocto; The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (Wentworth Regiment), since 1978; The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (The Duke of Edinburgh’s Own) since 1967, The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, since 1967; and The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, Vancouver, since 1967.

He also held honourary positions in Canada’s Military, including Royal Canadian Navy Admiral; Canadian Army General, Royal Canadian Air Force General, Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Admiral, Royal Canadian Army Cadets Admiral, and Air Commodorein-Chief for the Royal Canadian Air Cadets.

In addition, the Duke of Edinburgh acted as patron to nearly 800 organizations across the Commonwealth, with more than 40 of those in Canada.

In 1956, Prince Philip launched the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award in the United Kingdom to support youth there. The program launched in Canada in 1963 for Canadians between the ages of 14 and 25, with nearly half a million Canadians participating in the program since.

In 2015, Colton Congdon of Heisler received the silver Duke of Edinburgh

award.

In 2013, the Duke of Edinburgh was awarded Companion of the Order of Canada and Commander of the Order of Military Merit in Canada.

He visited Canada 20 times over his active period of service, the first time being in 1951 when he and thenPrincess Elizabeth embarked on a fiveweek train tour of Canada, coast to coast, travelling through Alberta where

huge crowds came out to greet the in both Calgary and Edmonton.

Prince Philip was the longest-serving consort of any British Monarch. During his period in active service to the throne, he is said to have made 22,000 solo engagements, besides those where he appeared with the Queen.

Prince Philip retired from official public engagements in May 2017.

Front line health care workers now eligible for vaccinations Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Province announced on Monday, April 12, that as part of Phase 2C of its vaccine rollout, nurses, doctors, dentists, and any health-care workers in patient care facilities or providing direct patient care in the community will receive the vaccine.

“This will help prevent COVID-19 from spreading to patients and people at the highest risk of severe outcomes.”

In total, more than 1.7 million Albertans will be eligible to be vaccinated in Phase 2C, and the province says due to limited vaccine supply, other groups scheduled for this phase will become eligible in the coming weeks.

Premier Jason Kenney said Monday, “I am very pleased to be able to offer COVID-19 vaccines to the thousands of

health-care workers and associated staff who have been doing their part to keep Albertans healthy during the pandemic. The more people we are able to immunize, the safer our province will be, and the sooner we will recover.”

This group includes pharmacists, child and youth care counsellors, therapists, lab and x-ray technologists, dental assistants, massage therapists, midwives, naturopaths, occupational therapists, paramedics, pharmacy technicians, physiotherapists, registered dieticians, respiratory therapists, social workers, and speech-language pathologists and all other health-care professionals and their office or support staff who provide in-person, direct patient care.

Healthcare workers will need to provide proof of eligibility upon arrival at immunization clinics. Appointments

can be booked through Alberta Health Services at 811, or online, as well as through participating pharmacies.

All Albertans aged 55 to 64 can also now book appointments to receive the AstraZeneca vaccine.

In later stages of Phase 2C, eligibility will extend to residents and support staff at eligible congregate living and work settings at risk for large outbreaks.

These include correctional facilities, front-line policing and provincial sheriffs, homeless shelters, meat-packing plants, and group homes.

Anyone eligible to be vaccinated in any of the previous stages but who hasn’t yet done so may still book an appointment for vaccination.

As of last Friday, Alberta has administered 8,818,689 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

Forestburg looking forward to reopening pool later this spring Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Forestburg Village Council approved a transfer of $80,000 from parks and recreation reserves during their regular meeting on Thursday, April 8, to complete work on the swimming pool, with a goal of reopening in late May. The process to replace the pool liner began last year, with Austin Carrol Pool Construction from Ontario putting in the successful bid.

While in the process of removing the old torn and leaking liner, representatives from that company noted that there was corrosion and some defects in the basin beneath the existing membrane, which they felt would adversely affect the installation of the new liner.

The village then contacted Western Recreation and Development, from Calgary, who is the original manufacturer of the pool, and arrangements were made with this company to address the basin issues.

However, when Austin Carrol was called back after the remediation work was done, they were not satisfied with the work that had been undertaken. Their inspection also revealed that further work would need to be done not only to the pool basin, but the crawlspaces, to ensure the integrity of the pool and new liner once it was installed and filled.

According to Forestburg CAO Dwight Dibben, that was when the village secured the services of its own structural engineer to do an evaluation of the pool structure.

Once that was done, local firm Battle River Ironworks was contracted to work with the engineer

Work on the Forestburg Pool will start up again as soon as the village finishes thawing out the poolʼs crawlspaces, with hopes of reopening at the end of May. to complete all remediation work so that the new liner could still be installed in time for a 2021 opening.

The liner replacement project was initially expected to cost around $160,000, with $101,500 funded from grants, and the remainder from village reserves.

Dibben says the remaining $80,000 coming from reserves has been estimated at the high end, but only a full inspection of the crawl space will determine whether the entire amount will be needed.

Dibben adds, “The reserves were not earmarked with anything in particular in mind. Council has been prudently putting these funds aside.

“Council didn’t want to burden taxpayers with this additional expense.”

He says that expected transfers to reserves won’t be as high as planned this year, but that the village expects to return to the practice of putting money aside for future capital projects.

“Three years from now the water treatment plant debenture will be repaid, which may help the village be able to put more into reserves for future projects,” Dibben says.

He says the village has been working on thawing out the crawlspace over the past week, and as soon as weather permits, he’s hoping the remediation work can start.

Once the new liner is in place, the village hopes it will serve to extend the lifespan of the pool for a further 20 years.

The Village of Forestburg hoped that the replacement liner for the pool could have been completed in 2020, but issues with the basin and crawlspaces means that work will continue this spring, with hopes of still opening by the end of May if all goes well.

Sedgewick takes part in scavenger hunt for families Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

The Parents For Fun Society, in partnership with other early childhood education organizations, is putting on a scavenger hunt during the month of April. Every week there are three clues for locations to go to for items to collect. Two of the three stops during week one were located in Sedgewick. It was a perfect time for our family to bring out the bikes and go find them. We're excited for week two. We got some pretty amazing

goodies and activities.

There's still time to sign up. Go and have a family adventure within Flagstaff County.

Barbeque season is upon us and it's the perfect time to restock with the Sedgewick's library fundraiser with VIP Meats. Forms were sent to your mailbox last week or can be picked up at the library.

While it's very tempting to get started on your yard, please hold off. Removing debris too early takes away food sources for nesting birds. Overwintering insects, whether they be eggs, adults, or any stage between, could be in stems

of plants that have been left up for the winter, in the leaf debris on the ground, in the bark of a tree, or in many other places. So let's use the time to sort through our belongings, as the no-fee transfer site weekend is upon us. Council approved the weekend to be April 24 and 25.

A friend and I had purchased tickets to go to the Van Gogh exhibit in Edmonton a few weeks back. We were excited and it almost felt "back to normal." Of course, with the most recent announcements by the Alberta government we are unsure when we will be able to go see it. You

might remember MJ Hedeman had a chance to see the exact same exhibit or, better called, interactive experience in Paris when visiting her son's family while still living in Europe. She gave it a raving review

Hi everyone, how was your week? It was not a very good ending in most areas. It was so surprising, how much snow we got, but not unusual for a Spring day at this point in time. As I look out my window I see we got another scoff of snow through the night. I guess if it was warmer it would have been rain. Oh well, it’s moisture; that’s what we need. The sun is warm enough to make it sloppy and it will soak in quickly, but the frost is not even out of the ground. We do get anxious, but we just have to be patient.

Based out of Hardisty and proud to serve east central Alberta

WHAT WE DO:

do with it. This was put on by the Ag Society. Good luck in your new venture.

Birthday greetings to: Abigail Zelensky, April 13; Dylan Badry, Greg Wolbeck, April 14; Ashley Hyvonan, April 15. Hope you have a good day everyone.

Anniversary greetings to Gary and Marcie Matthiessen on April 12.

Thought for the week: we often praise the evening clouds, and tint so gay and hold, but seldom think upon our God, who tinged these clouds with gold.

As I sit here finishing up the news, I look out the window and there are big white flakes coming down.

I guess our spring surprises are not over yet.

Have a good week everyone.

within two months? Yup, me too. Yet here we are, still going strong. What's my point? There's always hope. Don't give up. It's been a long 13 months, but can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Hold on to that.

Spring drone courses in Heisler Have you had your coronavirus shots yet? I had my second shot on Sunday morning, early at 9 a.m., but it’s nice to get it over with and know you are safer. My son took me, which I am most thankful for.

My arm was a little sore, but I put ice on it before bed and it did help, by the morning I was fine. I hope if you haven’t got the vaccine that you are awaiting your turn. Hopefully things will be opened up and life will get back to normal. Say a prayer so this will happen soon.

The drone workshop was a great success. Not that many took the course; it was expensive, but a good course on how to run your drone successfully and to make the best use of it as well as what one can

and I thought we were quite fortunate to have it come to Edmonton.

However, it might just be delayed.

Raise your hand when you thought at the beginning of the school year, we'd be back at home

Firefighter training with miniature house gives valuable insights into interior structure fires Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Members of the Killam Fire Department, along with Flagstaff County Regional Emergency Services Coordinator Kim Cannady, conducted a controlled burn of a specially constructed ‘doll house’ last Wednesday, April 7.

The doll house featured four rooms, an attic, and four sliding ‘walls’ that allowed for the control of air in the building.

Cannady explained each step of the process, and fire/smoke movement after a small fire was lit in one of the lower ‘rooms’ using kindling.

Cannady says, “During the growth phase, there is lots of fuel; oxygen and heat. At this point, the fire is what we call ‘fuel controlled.’ “ Cannady says at this point in a fire, the blaze is determined by the type and amount of fuel available.

“The sooner we can close the door, the sooner the room runs low on oxygen, which will inhibit fire growth.

“I have seen fires that have put themselves out when they run out of oxygen in the room.”

Cannady says at this early stage, interior fires are basically contents fires. “It takes time for the flames to burn through the walls or ceiling.”

But it is important not to think this isn’t as dangerous as a fully engulfed building. There is a point

where even the smoke coming off a fire becomes flammable. “Smoke is unburned fuel or particles from inefficient burning.

“When oxygen becomes limited, the fire is then ‘ventilation limited.’

“The fire cannot burn efficiently, producing more heated smoke. The heated smoke travels through a building; ready to burn, but needing oxygen.

“When the heated gases reach an ignition source they will readily ignite. Hence you can see no flame in the room until you introduce an ignition source.”

Cannady says the doll house fire showed a clear fire flow path, with air being drawn into a lower ‘room’ and flames exiting an upper ‘room.’

“These effects from ventilation controlled or ventilation limited fires are what makes postflashover fires challenging for investigators.”

Cannady says in real homes, with the higher content of hydrocarbon fuels in modern furniture, fires grow quicker and more smoke is produced, making the amount of time available to escape quite short.

“This is why current fire prevention programs talk about only have two minutes to escape, and why smoke alarms and fire safety plans are so important.”

As the fire was controlled by opening and closing the ventilation

Flagstaff County Emergency Services Coordinator Kim Cannady explained interior fire stages and control points on Wednesday, April 7 in Killam.

The initial stage of the fire was ʻfuel controlledʼ. The doll house used was built by Chief Joe Knievel, with materials donated

by Killam Home Hardware.

‘walls’, one ‘room’ was left closed the entire time.

Firefighters measured the internal temperature using their thermal imaging unit, and noted that

room was 300 degrees cooler than the other rooms.

“That’s why its important to keep bedroom doors closed at night,”

says Cannady.

A closed bedroom door can slow the spread of flames, decrease temper-

atures, reduce smoke inhalation, and improve oxygen levels in the room.

Killam Captain Ian Strachan shows that smoke is flammable, lighting the grey smoke from the fire.

Thermal imaging showed that the interior of the upper left “room” was nearly 300 degrees cooler than the surrounding areas, due to the door remaining shut, and limiting fuel sources.

Storm winds knock out Sedgewick internet tower Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Another wireless tower in Sedgewick suffered damage in the winter storm at the end of March.

Sedgewick CAO Jim Fedyk says it’s likely that movement of the tower from the wind loosened the bolts, eventually causing the structure to fail.

The tower in question is

located near the town lift station, and was installed to provide better services to residents on Mackenzie Drive.

The internet service to those residents was affected by the tower failure.

Fedyk says, “Nobody wants their internet to be out for a few days, we understand that.

“All it takes is one bolt to loosen (which is what hap-

pened) and then everything else fails because it is designed to work as a whole.”

Fedyk says replacing the tower isn’t terribly expensive. “The reason we use them is due to the low cost and it allowed us to get into the internet game without investing hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Unfortunately the Town

Lovely joins others in speaking out Patricia Harcourt Staff Reporter After Premier Jason Kenney told his rural MLAs there would be no repercussions for their letter to Albertans condemning the latest COVID-19 health restrictions, Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely put out her own statement supporting those UCP colleagues.

Rural MLAs of the Premier’s own party came out against Kenney reverting the province back to Stage 1 last week after it became clear a third wave had begun, again putting strain on the health care system.

But 15 MLAs, considered mainly rural representatives of the UCP party, said that their areas were being punished for the spikes taking place in larger urban centres.

The MLAs called for a more regional approach so that rural areas where the virus hasn’t infected as many people would not have to face the same restrictions as larger centres.

Lovely stated last Friday: “Tuesday’s announcement was a profound disappointment to rural Albertans.”

While calling COVID-19 a “real and a public health risk,” she added: “The reality, however, is that COVID has not hit rural Albertans as hard as it’s hit those in urban centres.”

She cited statistics for April 6 indicating a 27 per cent jump in cases over the previous week, but said Camrose and Camrose County had only 65 active cases between them.

“The consensus here in Camrose is that we need a

regional approach,” she said, calling this “what’s reasonable, responsible and balanced.”

While Premier Kenney announced there would be no political repercussions for MLAs who speak their minds, he said MLAs would face consequences if they started to behave against the current rules, or advocated breaking health restrictions currently in place.

The opposition NDP party immediately spoke up against the defiance of the rural UCP MLAs. NDP Leader Rachel Notley put out a statement on Monday, commenting “I’ve never seen anything like this in a parliamentary democracy.

“These UCP MLAs are sabotaging Alberta’s public health response.”

has had some bad luck with windstorms, one in the late summer of 2020, and again at the end of March. Fedyk says that has not deterred the town from taking steps forward for the next potential upgrade to the Town’s internet service. “We are still pursuing the next potential model…. the fiber ring.”

He says it’s somewhat of a balancing act, with the Town needing to be mindful of not investing too much into towers are this point in providing the service, as these may be of little use within the next few years.

“Unfortunately, having a tower go down is never a good look, but the public should keep in mind that we are a very small startup in this business.”

He says other internet service providers for the community had the same learning curve at first, too.

Fedyk says the whole reason the town got into

the internet provider service was to provide equitable service to all residents and businesses in the community, which to him represents a big difference between the town and the other providers.

“Sure, some residences are able to get quality speeds with one or more of these companies, but at the same time none of these companies are able to successfully serve all residents and businesses. If they could, the town wouldn’t be bothering with being in the internet business.

“So, as much as I understand people’s frustration when a tower goes down, unfortunately we cannot keep an inventory of backup towers and internet antennae. I understand and that people will gravitate to the cheapest service, (but) we are the only ones who are doing what we are doing for the benefit of the community rather than profits.

“Subscribing to our internet service ensures that your money stays in Sedgewick and in fact goes to improving the service in the future.

“We are not bringing in big dollars in what we are doing now… we only have about 30 subscribers. But these other internet companies weren’t built in a day either and none of them were much interested in Sedgewick at all until the town put up its first tower.”

He adds, “Part of being a start-up is the learning process. Whether we move forward in the future with other internet models, etc. or pack it in ultimately is a decision of Council, but again you don’t become Telus overnight…

“You learn, adjust, research and if you stick with it for long enough you eventually succeed.

Or you quit and never know what might have been.”

OBITUARIES Isobel Dahl (nee Alcorn) Vera Anna Peake

May 25, 1922 to April 12, 2021 Vera Anna Peake, born May 25, 1922, in Forestburg, Alberta, was taken home to be with the Lord on April 12, 2021.

Vera was the oldest of seven children born to Nels and Ollie Swaren and spent her entire life in the community of Pleasington District, Forestburg, and Galahad.

Predeceased by her parents, her husband William, his parents Jack and Dora, his sisters Mary (John),

Betty (Danny), her brothers Willard, Floyd, Ed, and sister Emily.

She leaves to grieve her passing brother Howard (Leona), sister Leona, sisters-in-law Donna and Jen; children Ed (Kathy), Marion, and Dora (Garth); numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Being a descendant of hearty Norwegians who came to Alberta in 1905, Mom never shied away from, or complained about, hard work; be it raising a family on a mixed farm milking cows, growing a garden, hauling grain, delivering the mail, keeping an immaculate house, cooking delicious meals, along with endless laundry, ensuring we were ready for school each day and Sunday School every

Sunday; add to that the “retirement years” of running the Galahad Motel; and still always had time for friends and trips to B.C. to visit family.

She dedicated 35 years of faithful volunteering to the Galahad Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary; now known as the Galahad Care Centre, it is where her final journey with Alzheimer’s Dementia was. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she received and are comforted by the love shown to her as she hummed her way through the better part of this past year.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private graveside service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Galahad Auxiliary or a charity of your choice.

Faith: Easter is a season Easter is not just one day of proclaiming that life and love are more powerful than death and hatred. It is a whole season; seven full weeks of death-defying dreams of hope and passion for a world made new.

The scriptures after Easter bring us stories pointing to the power of being together, of finding fellowship in the presence of Jesus and the presence of the community. These stories invite us to consider, “What does it take to be together

in this way?”

Some recently participated in the “Future is Flagstaff” initiative. A chance to dream of our future and to inspire each other to begin to put this into action now. I wonder what potentials we could lift in our communities if we started living our faith, living into our fullest potential, right now. Not waiting for someone to solve our problems, but to band together as one body in the fullness of creation.

This, I believe is the

hope of our faith. Of lives and communities where each member is whole.

Where all marginalized by systems or prejudice are drawn into the fold.

Where we dare to dream of a better tomorrow and live it today.

Peace of the risen Christ to you all.

She was a well respected music teacher who taught piano, theory and voice to many students and was very involved in the United Church Choir, The Village Voices, IODE, and STAR. Her family & friends remember Isobel as an avid bridge player, a great gardener and a wonderful cook.

Friends and family will be invited to a celebration of Isobel’s life sometime in the coming months.

four great-grandchildren and numerous nieces & nephews.

Lifelong friendships with Lilas Lysne and Joy Deedman (among many more) were of great importance to Isobel along with her niece Bev Stevenson who always brought flowers to brighten her day.

Isobel graduated with a Bachelor’s of Education from the University of Alberta in 1951 and went on to teach in Alliance, Edmonton, Calgary, London, England, Carstairs, and Heisler. She was a member of the Kappa Alpha

Alliance gauging interest in a community garden Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. panddall@telusplanet.net

Bill and Phyllis Alcorn returned on Saturday after a 10-day stay in Beaumont.

On April 1, Phyllis entered the University Hospital to have a carotid artery in her neck cleaned out. This was to be an overnight stay, but between high blood pressure and low oxygen, it took several more days to

get everything under control.

Phyllis wasn’t discharged until Monday, April 5, and then went to Beaumont to Laurie and Barney’s home. She and Bill remained there for, at the most, another week before returning to Alliance prior to the snow and wind storm on Saturday night.

Isobel (Alcorn) Dahl passed away in Sylvan Lake on April 6, 2021, at the age of 93 years. Isobel was born in Forestburg and raised in the Alliance district. She attended the

University of Alberta where she studied education, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in education in 1951. She taught school for many years, plus piano and theory.

She and her husband, Don Dahl, raised their two children in Carstairs. Isobel later lived in Forestburg and was residing in Bethany Lodge in Sylvan Lake when she passed away. Bill Alcorn drove from Beaumont with his son, Bob, to Sylvan Lake on Tuesday and managed to have a short visit with his

sister. Isobel had two children: Dagny Brown, living in Barrhead, and Ken Dahl residing in Sylvan Lake.

There were 11 in church on Sunday to hear the sermon on doubting and believing that Roger Spady delivered. Roger and his wife Betty were heading to Forestburg after to do the service there. I will be busy this week getting ready for a garage sale on the weekend. It is time to clean out the extra fishing equipment, wrenches, nuts and bolts, and etcetera.

Highlighting some of Hardisty’s volunteer groups Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

The Town of Hardisty is an active community with a multitude of great clubs and sport groups. For anyone who is retired or just willing to volunteer I have some great ideas for groups you might like to join.

One group in particular that has been active since 1971 is the Hardisty Hospital Auxiliary. It was formed

by Sister Elizabeth and 13 community members to help support St. Anne’s Hospital (now known as the Hardisty Health Care Centre.) Initially they fundraised with bingos, auctions, raffles, and etcetera and received donations. By 1985 they were granted their charity status and were able to work the more lucrative casinos and apply for specific grants.

This must have been a godsend because the money made at casinos far surpasses the money raised by other, traditional means.

The Auxiliary established their renowned Volunteen Program (1974 to present), which is an opportunity for youth ages 14 and up to volunteer at the hospital and interact with these patients. They were guided by two nursing staff after completing a training session. The teens often worked for a few hours after school or on weekends. The patients adored them, especially the Long Term Care patients once we had a regular Long Term Care wing. The youth were able to get some insight into the medical field and the many aspects of health

care. A number of them have pursued health-related careers due to their experience at the hospital and some have even returned to work at the Hardisty Health Care Centre.

Did you know that this Volunteen program was the only one in Alberta until just recently when Galahad and Tofield expressed interest in offering the same programs. It is amazing what small communities manage to do! (Some info from this section was gleaned from the Hardisty History book named Along the Battle 2018).

These hard-working ladies have made a huge impact on the hospital and the patients. Over the years they have financed medical equipment, purchased hospital furniture, renovated hospital rooms to be enjoyed for socializing, and, the crowning glory in my opinion, is their Palliative

Care Room. If you are terminally ill and need a large private room that allows family to stay with you to eat, sing, pray, or just be there, Hardisty Hospital offers that. Thank you Auxillary and whoever assisted with this project.

These women are an honorable group and a great asset to our community. They meet the second Monday of every month and would love to have you join them. Recently two new ladies joined the auxiliary, are you interested? Take a chance, you won’t be disappointed.

Contact their president, Charlotte Nickel, at 780888-2209 Another active volunteer group is the Hardisty Public Library. Our Allan Johnstone school was closed be the Battle River School Division so now we are the only library left to service the public of all ages.

COVID-19 has thrown a

curve ball into the programming we were used to offering the youth in our community, but were working diligently to offer safe activities.

Our board has worked hard fundraising, getting donations, and making the library come alive for all of you.

Parkland Regional Library in Lacombe is our regional library and they have a wonderful motto that really sums up the modern library: “Libraries are more than just books!”

Hardisty Library often advertises programs via posters, and classifieds in The Community Press.

Why not give our board a try? Come to a meeting and see us in action. You won’t be disappointed. Contact Ricci Matthews (Chair) at 780-888-2490 or Librarian Kelly McDowell at 780-8883947.

Until next week; be safe, be smart, and stay healthy.

SUMMER STUDENT ASHCOR Technologies Ltd. is a subsidiary of ATCO and the largest independent marketer of fly ash in Western Canada. ASHCOR is building a dynamic team to support operations of its newly constructed reclaimed ash management facility near Forestburg, Alberta.

Under the direction of the Plant Manager, the Summer Student will perform various technical lab, site labourer and administrative duties in support of ash testing, sampling and handling, performance monitoring, and reporting on plant efficiency operational support. This will include sample collection, preparation and analysis, as well as operational and maintenance responsibilities including general site clean up.

sponse about a community garden with raised beds. If there is interest the Women’s Institute (WI) will proceed with the project.

I just noticed Anita Domosley’s car port. She said that it has been there for a year.

The sale at Mrs. T’s has now reached the 25% off stage. I wonder how much stock she has left.

It is time for some meetings if our organizations are going to survive. Some meetings will be virtual and some in-person with social distancing this week, Monday is the Friends of Battle River Railway in the

morning and the Rural Crime Watch in the evening.

Tuesday has the Library Board in the morning and the Ag Society in the evening. Wednesday the WI might have a meeting at the garden if the weather is good.

I had a nice phone visit with Jan McIsaac tonight.

She hasn’t been out and about for a long time. I did see John at the post office a few weeks ago so I knew that they still lived in town.

Have a great week and call me or email me with some news.

Safety tips from Alberta RCMP to prevent property crime The Alberta RCMP urges homeowners to consider Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles when planning home renovation and property maintenance projects this spring and summer.

In 2020, there were 6,978 Break and Enters to homes, outbuildings, and cottages, an 18 per cent decrease from the same time in 2019 which had 8,517.

While homeowners who are now working or spending more time at home may feel a greater sense of security, implementing some simple changes around their property could see this positive decrease continue.

CPTED is a set of principles meant to reduce crime through the consideration of the design of a physical environment to ensure a property is protected.

The purpose of CPTED is to make recommended adjustments to a home or business property to make yards and buildings less appealing to criminals.

It is important to remember that crime tends to occur where there are easy access points and reduced visibility.

With the change of seasons now enabling people to be more active in maintenance and renovation projects for homes and yards, this is an ideal time to look at ways to create a safer environment.

Some safety tips that can help with crime reduction: •Lighting – Visibility and being seen is a deterrent for criminals so it is worth installing LED or motion sensor lights in dark corners or key areas around your property;

•Visibility – Good surveillance includes having clear sight lines from inside your house to the curb or edge of your property as well as through trimmed trees and foliage; •Locks – Keeping doors and windows locked is good practice with deadbolt locks recommended for the strongest protection on doors; •Fences - Having a perimeter fence or border (even a hedge or shrubbery) with a closed gate helps to create a property barrier that helps establish a boundary.

For more tips and information, visit the Alberta RCMP CPTED video playlist on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/3sWIKy2 Follow RCMP social media accounts on Twitter @RCMPAlberta, Facebook @RCMPinAlberta, YouTube @RCMPGRC Alberta, and check out #CPTED online for more tips.

RCMP encourage the public to report any criminal or suspicious activity to police.

“Reports tell us where to look, who to look for, and where to patrol in the future,” says Jennifer Kee, RCMP K Division Community Engagement and Outreach Specialist.

If you see a crime in progress, dial 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 Store.

Bethany Group Local golfers can’t wait to hit the links welcomes new Interim CEO Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Bethany Group announced Monday, April 12, that they have a new Interim CEO, replacing former CEO Mike Leathwood, who has retired.

The Board has welcomed Carla Beck to the position.

“I am very excited to have Carla lead our Bethany Group Management Team and Staff Members during these unusually difficult and stressful times” said Jack Ramsden, Board Chair.

“Mike left our organization in a strong financial position and I am confident that Carla has the leadership skills required to lead our organization efficiently in the year ahead.”

Beck brings with her a wealth of experience and knowledge in health and housing. She has worked with The Bethany Group in a variety of roles since 1993.

The Bethany Group says, “Carla’s hands-on knowledge of how to create a caring community made her the natural selection to lead The Bethany Group though two cycles of Accreditation, the most recent in 2019 earning the organization Accreditation with Commendation.

“Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Carla has been the lead for The Bethany Group’s response and continues to be a guiding light for the organization through the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll the pandemic has taken on staff, clients, and their families.

“Her inspirational leadership has helped The Bethany Group cope and thrive.”

Beck says, “Though I haven’t been able to visit the sites due to restrictions brought about by COVID19, I’m looking forward to the day we can once again gather together.

“I think it’s important to see how everyone is doing and while it’s difficult right now to make those connections, I have confidence in my teams that they are working together to give that personcentered care to our residents and each other.”

As The Bethany Group’s CEO, Beck is responsible for all of the Bethany Group’s operations, staffing, and facilities.

She also leads the organization in the provision of CAO services to the Flagstaff Regional Housing Group for the Forestburg Big Knife Villa, the Camrose and Area Lodge Authority, the Lacombe Foundation, the Parkland Foundation, and the Wetaskiwin and Area Lodge Authority.

What area does the Battle River Community Foundation serve?

The Battle River Community Foundation serves the area from Camrose west to Gwynne, south to Bashaw and Alliance, east to Hughenden, and north to Highway 14.
