Province directs AUC to pause approvals on renewable energy projects to ‘24 Leslie Cholowsky Editor

In a surprise announcement on Thursday, Aug. 3, the Alberta Minister of Affordability and Utilities directed the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) to pause approvals in respect of new renewable electricity generation projects until at least February 2-24.

With two local solar projects currently being proposed, for Lougheed and Killam, based on the timelines of those projects, this announcement is of interest to councils and residents in the region.

The province says its decision was spurred by increased stakeholder participation and opposition, especially to projects that are proposed for agricultural lands.

The Rural Municipalities Association, (RMA) released a statement saying that it has been advocating for changes in regulation and approval processes with the AUC. “The RMA is also working with Brownlee LLP to develop a formal set of recommendations based on current legislation and is actively working on several resolutions including resolution 21-22F: “Loss of Agricultural Land to Renewable Energy Projects“ and resolution 9-22F: “Renewable Energy Project Reclamation Requirements.” This announcement aligns with the

work that a RMA quasi-judicial member committee has done, specifically with advocating for enhanced municipal input into approval processes and recognition of the local impacts of provincially-regulated developments.”

The RMA further says that “It will be vital that any changes to policies and procedures reflect the importance of rural municipalities and acknowledge the local perspectives to create a balanced approach.

“The RMA will continue to engage with the Government of Alberta throughout this process and ensure that a rural perspective is included in the review.

“The renewable energy industry is crucial to the future of rural municipalities and the province as a whole. The RMA looks forward to working with the Government of Alberta, AUC, industry, and other stakeholders to ensure Alberta continues to be a premier destination for renewable energy investment.”

PACE Canada, who is currently planning the Peter Lougheed Solar project in Lougheed, and Old Bear Solar project in Killam, says the timeline shouldn’t affect work on these projects.

Claude Mindorff, Director of Development for PACE, says, “We’re disappointed that the Province has chosen to do this

Beautiful Northern Light show

JAN BERGSETH PHOTO

Jan Bergseth took a look outside on Friday, Aug 4 just after 11 p.m. and decided to grab her phone when she saw the northern lights swirling around the waning full moon. She says her kitty, bottom left, wasn’t the only ‘critter’ out there, as the mosquitoes were in full force as well. The full moon in August (Aug. 1) is named after North America’s largest fish, the sturgeon. Other names for this full moon include Grain Moon, Corn Moon, Lynx Moon, and Lightning Moon.

without consultation.”

Mindorff says that their development process includes community engagement from the start, something that sets them apart from other projects. “We try to elicit community support, and look for willing landowners before we even start a project.”

PACE projects include reclamation plans, and land use policies, and are something municipal councils support.

“We have a farm plan for every project, that includes weed control, bio-diversity, and more. Nothing that AUC is concerned about applies to our current projects.”

In recent virtual consultations on the Peter Lougheed

Solar site proposed for Lougheed, PACE Solar said it builds a decommissioning fund into its lease structure.

“At year 2, $1,800 per MW is invested in a Letter of Credit with a Tier 1 Canadian financial institution. This amount increases to $20,000 per MW by year 10. Interest accumulates until end of life at year 30.

“Should PACE become insolvent, the landowner is named as a beneficiary by the Financial institution holding the decommissioning fund on deposit.

“Assessed value of assets in year 30 is $190,000 per MW, which is salvage value of an est. $3.04 million.”

PACE provided this information to stakeholders in its June 28 virtual meeting on the Lougheed project under existing AUC stipulations requiring the project to submit its reclamation plans that provide an overview of how they will ensure sufficient funds are available at the project end to cover the cost of decommissioning and reclamation.

The Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanRea) Vice President of Policy for Western Canada, Evan Wilson, said earlier in the year: “Alberta accounted for the lion’s share, 75 per cent, of Canada’s utility-scale wind and solar capacity growth in 2022.

Lougheed Fair to celebrate 100th year of operations this weekend Leslie Cholowsky Editor In 1934, the ‘Goose Creek Fair set a high standard,’ according to reports of the day, which also claimed it was the only event of its kind in this section of the province.

“The exhibits were up to the usual number, and keen interest was taken in every department, in spite of the financial and agricultural handicaps under which the people are working today.”

Much credit was given to dedicated volunteers of the event, whose hard work had the day go off without a hitch.

The report went on to say, “Some years ago, Fairs of this kind were the common thing in Northern Alberta, but the depression put a stop to the greater majority of them.

“Goose Creek is one of the few districts that has continued to hold a Fair each year, and the fact that the Association has never experienced a failure, goes to prove that the officials in charge and the people of the surrounding district are behind the enterprise in real fashion.”

Of course, eventually the Goose

Creek Fair became the Lougheed Agricultural Society Fair, but the same hard work, dedication, and support exist to this day.

Celebrating the now 100th year of the Fair is the main focus of this year’s event, and organizers have been meeting for months to make this fair one to remember.

The Fairs staple events, the horse show, the cattle show, ball games, and the bench show, continue to draw participants from far and wide throughout the region.

With questions of food security, and more and more people turning to local produce, the art of canning and growing haven’t changed that much in 100 years, and competition is always fierce in all areas of the bench show exhibits.

This year’s fair will include special events, like a vintage fashion show, petting zoo, dog agility demonstrations, a market, and more.

But in the end what continues to set this event apart, and contributes to its enduring success, is the army of volunteers that dedicate their time and expertise to the venture.

Now even more than in 1934, there are few fairs of this nature happening, and yet one of the smallest communi-

ties in our region attracts hundreds of visitors each year for some friendly competition, whether it’s to see who grew the best potatoes, who is most skilled in horsemanship, which cattle

will win, or friendly competitiveness between ball teams.

It’s truly a testament to the organizers, and this year’s fair promises to exceed even the standards set in 1934.

Canada marks 70th anniversary of Korean War Armistice agreement Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Thursday, July 27, marked the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, which ended over three years of fighting on the Korean Peninsula.

The Korean War started on June 25, 1950, when North Korean troops invaded South Korea. United Nations forces soon joined the fighting, which would rage until an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953.

More than 26,000 Canadians served on land, at sea, and in the air during this bitter conflict.

Sadly, 516 Canadians died. Veterans Affairs Canada says, “Long seen as a forgotten war, the Korean War is an important chapter in Canada's military history.”

The Battle of Kapyong was one of the first major actions that Canadians participated in during the Korean War. Our soldiers were almost overrun by the Chinese at Kapyong but fortunately were able to

drive them back. Ten Canadians were killed in the battle.

In the 1970s, Mr. Chi Kap Chong, a retired Korean journalist and former member of the Korean National Assembly, selected land for a memorial park.

He raised funds to purchase the land and supervised the construction. This memorial commemorates Canada’s assistance to his country during the Korean War. One of the places that Canadian soldiers would see the most action was in the area around Hill 355, where they defended the front lines and pushed back heavy enemy assaults.

By mid-1951 the lines began to solidify and the two sides dug in with deep defensive positions around the 38th parallel.

The Canadians guarded their sectors of the front lines and conducted raids on enemy positions to gather intelligence and capture prisoners.

During this period they were often deployed on or near Hill 355 (so named on military maps because it

“And even further expansion is expected in 2023.

Alberta’s recent development is beyond anyone’s expectations.”

He adds, “But make no mistake, this isn’t “the wild west” of renewable energy. Alberta is enjoying well-regulated growth, rooted in strong policies and robust community engagement practices.”

Wilson says that unlike oil wells, solar sites can appreciate over time.

With expected lifespans of 25 to 30 years, he says, “When the parts used in a solar panel reach the end of their lifespan - about 25 years - they can be swapped out, returning the site to operation.

“Other physical infrastructure, such as transmission lines and substations, can remain in place for the long haul.

“When a site already has 20-30 years of operations data, and good, solid relationships with landowners and communities, and transmission lines already in place, it just makes sense to repower it rather than develop a new one.”

He also argues that existing regulations in Alberta ensure that decommissioning and reclamation occurs responsibly.

CanRea’s CEO Vittoria Bellissimo told the Calgary

was 355 metres above sea level).

In fact, every Canadian battalion that served in Korea would spend time there at some point during the war.

Known as "Kowang San" to the Koreans, it was nicknamed "Little Gibraltar" by UN troops because of its prominent size and many defensive positions.

The hill was located about 40 kilometres north of Seoul and was highly valued because it was the highest ground overlooking the surrounding front lines and supply routes. This strategic importance meant it would be the

scene of fierce combat as both sides wanted to have it.

Canadian soldiers, like Arnie Meyers, formerly of Lougheed, who was just 17 years old when he enlisted, rotated over hot spots that included Hill 355 and Hill 187.

“Hill 187 and Hill 355 were side by side,” Meyers says.

“The enemies would dig in on one side, and the allies the other.” The allies held some strong defensive positions, and the Chinese and North Koreans wanted them, Meyers said.

Over the course of the war, the line of red had come dangerously close to encompassing the

Herald on Friday, “It is very disappointing and it’s very important that we minimize the pause. I am worried about investor confidence.”

He added, “Alberta is going to see a lot of pressure to get this right - and get it right very quickly.

And if it doesn’t, we’re going to see investment and jobs flow to other jurisdictions very quickly.”

In a letter from AUC to the Ministry, requesting the pause, the AUC identifies two major concerns: the development of power plants on high value agricultural lands and the lack of mandatory reclamation security requirements for power plants.

The AUC says, “These are broad policy issues involving multiple overlapping jurisdictions and stakeholders, including: the Ministries of Environment and Protected Areas, Agriculture and Irrigation, and Municipal Affairs, Alberta municipalities and Alberta landowners.

“Timely, effective resolution of both issues is essential to the ongoing economic, orderly and efficient development of new power generation in Alberta.

“The AUC’s case-by-case application process for new power plants is ill-suited to address these broad policy changes.

Rather, effective resolution necessarily requires a dedicated period of engagement with all of the stakeholders identified above followed by government direction, either in the form of provincial pol-

"When the Korean War began 73 years ago, Canada joined 18 other United Nations allies to answer the call to defend freedom in South Korea.

“In the 70 years since the Armistice was signed, the people of

South Korea have not forgotten the thousands of Canadians who put their lives on hold for them. Nor have any of us in Canada.

icy or new legislation.

“Such a direction, in our view, would enable a reasonable, robust regulatory framework that is efficient and predictable while being protective of the long-term public interest for all Albertans.”

Mindorff says he thinks overall the decision to pause renewables will actually hurt small communities.

He says, “We’ve had communities contact us and invite us to build in their areas. They see the benefits of renewable energy, including tax revenues, and they see it as something that attracts industry.”

Mindorff notes that their plan for a solar farm at Caroline, one of 15 fully completed AUC applications that will now be paused, did not have a single detractor registered. “Any issues we had were dealt with through our thorough community consultation process.”

Mindorff says none of the projects PACE has planned, for Lougheed, Killam, Viking, and other communities, have any of the issues AUC is concerned with, and the plan going forward on these is to continue to engage positively with the communities at each site, and await the final decisions from AUC. “Right now it’s just the unknown; what will be the ask that comes out AUC’s process?”

The pause does not affect private solar residential and commercial projects.

OPINION

Little benefit to Alberta with renewables pause

Just last week the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC), responsible for approval of new energy projects in Alberta, was asked to pause approvals of all new renewable energy projects, including 15 fully complete applications sitting before them for approval and an estimated 90 in development.

The pause is expected to last until at least February 29, 2024.

Initially, concerns about reclamation plans and funding, and use of prime farmland, were the reasons given for the pause. These aren’t without merit, and supported by the Rural Municipalities of Alberta.

However, now Premier Danielle Smith says the federal government is to blame, as she says they are preventing the development of backup generation for renewable energy like natural gas.

So now we’re left wondering what the real reason is, and how much of this decision is politically motivated.

Renewable energy contractors say they were not consulted about the move. Minister of Affordability and Utilities Nathan Neudorf said scheduling problems prevented such a meeting.

They also say there was never any requirement for generators to supply energy without interruption, after all, the sun doesn’t shine at night.

Over the last few years, Alberta has been a leader in renewable energy development with an estimated 75 per cent of all Canadian renewal projects built in Alberta, and last year 17 per cent of Alberta’s power came from wind and solar.

CTV reported that since 2019, corporate renewable energy deals in Alberta have supported nearly $4.7 billion in new capital investment and provided 5,300 jobs.

Not only does this decision have the potential to put existing projects in jeopardy, but it may be enough to have future projects, and investors, look elsewhere. It’s one thing to pause renewables, but to do so without consultation, and to make it political, seems like a very bad reason, like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

CAMROSE MLA JACKIE LOVELY Report from the Legislature

Government has no greater duty than keeping people safe Government has no greater duty than keeping people safe – especially children and youth.

When it comes to protecting Albertans from harm, ending human trafficking is a critical priority for our United Conservative government.

Human trafficking is a serious crime that exploits people of all ages and genders. It destroys lives and causes generational trauma. But fighting human trafficking can be challenging, as victims are often forced into silence and secrecy.

In order to effectively fight human trafficking in our province, our United Conservative government created the Human Trafficking Task Force. Chaired by Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame artist and internationally recognized humanitarian Paul Brandt, the Human Trafficking Task Force consisted of passionate Albertans who are dedicated to fighting human trafficking and supporting survivors. The Human Trafficking Task Force presented our government with a series of recommendations, designed to prevent and combat human trafficking and support human trafficking survivors in our province.

On July 28, Premier Danielle Smith and Mike Ellis, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services, announced that our government has accepted and are moving to implement those recommendations.

The first recommendation we are moving on is to invest $4 million over two years to establish the Alberta Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons. This office will facilitate the implementation of the remaining Human Trafficking Task Force recommendations.

Organizations such as #NotInMyCity, Native Counselling Services of Alberta, and REACH Edmonton Council for Safer

SUBSCRIPTION REQUEST FORM

Communities will help setup and operate this office as community partners. Their support will be invaluable in connecting survivors and victims of human trafficking to important supports and services that will help them heal and recover from their experiences.

In response to this investment, Mr. Brandt recently said, “This milestone wouldn’t be possible without the countless organizations and individuals who shared their experiences and expertise in our journey with Alberta’s Human Trafficking Task Force. Combating human trafficking requires collective action, and we applaud the province for taking a collaborative approach with the community.”

Our United Conservative government remains committed to fighting human trafficking in every corner of the province.

Human trafficking is a serious crime that violates the freedoms and rights of individuals, including children and youth, and attempts to destroy all personal identity and relationships. No community in Alberta is immune to the scourge of human trafficking, and we must all work together to prevent and combat this heinous crime.

As Premier Danielle Smith recently said, “We can’t afford to close our eyes to the problem of human trafficking. And we can’t afford to ignore those who are at risk of being trafficked or those who have been trafficked. I’m proud that our government is creating this Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons to keep fighting this scourge on society.”

New gas tax report finds Albertans pay lowest gas prices Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) a citizens advocacy group dedicated to lower taxes, less waste, and accountable government, released its 25th annual Gas Tax Honesty Report last week.

The report shows that Albertans presently have the lowest gas tax rate in Canada, paying 31 cents per litre. These taxes are 14.3 cents to the first federal carbon tax, 10 cents federal excise tax, and 6.7 cents federal sales tax.

With the suspension of a provincial fuel tax, the cost to fill up an average pickup is increased by about $35 in Alberta. Comparatively, that same fill up in Vancouver includes $88 in taxes, when the BC excise tax, BC second carbon tax, and Vancouver transit tax are added.

The CTF says gas tax bills are set to increase every year until 2030 with the federal carbon tax hikes.

The report says that the carbon tax currently costs about 14.3 cents per litre but by 2030, the carbon tax is expected to cost about 37.4 cents per litre of gasoline.

It also says that on July 1, 2023, the federal government imposed its carbon tax on New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The highest gas prices per litre are found in Victoria and Vancouver, at $1.95/$1.94 per litre,

while Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are the bottom three, at $1.58, $1.55, and $1.39 respectively, based on a third-week of July average.

With an added federal sales tax on gasoline, applied after the carbon and excise tax, the report notes the tax on tax rates, with Alberta again coming in the lowest, and the Atlantic provinces,

Late regional author renowned for bestselling cookbook honoured in Irma Patricia Harcourt Staff Reporter

Jean Paré, author of the famous cookbook line “Company’s Coming,” was honoured with a high tea at the Irma Museum during Irma Days on Saturday afternoon.

Paré had passed away last Christmas Eve in Edmonton at the age of 95.

The two servings at the museum were completely filled as people welcomed the opportunity to celebrate her place in Irma history and meet some of Paré’s visiting relatives.

Paré was born in 1927 to the Elford family and raised in Irma where her roots are still visible. Her childhood home at the north end of main street has served as the village’s

museum for many years.

This was where Paré’s parents, Edward and Ruby Elford, raised their family. Edward had built the house with his own hands, and the sturdily built home was the first in the village to have electricity.

Paré’s son Brian Lovig attended along with her daughter, Gail; two other sons Lyle and Grant were not there.

“Seven generations of Mom’s family have lived in Alberta,” said Brian.

“Mom would be proud of that.”

He added: “I can feel Mom’s presence here.”

The family made a presentation to the museum of Paré artifacts, including a photo of the famous author/cook, her Order of Canada certifi-

cate, an award from Lakeland College and her Alberta Centennial Medal.

The event was hosted by the Irma Historical Society and many volunteers were on hand to serve the tea and baking on elegant chinaware.

Mary Newton spoke for the society and welcomed everyone to the tea in honour of Paré.

“We’re so pleased to see you and members of her family here,” she said, adding she hoped that Paré’s own life could serve as a lesson for others to “pick up and carry on” when the going gets tough.

Newton also explained how “Company’s Coming” came to be the title of the famous book.

Paré’s mother would feed

Now the Elford house is the village’s museum. ”We really do love it,” Newton said, calling the building “a great asset to Irma.”

Newton hoped that others would eventually carry on the work of the society. “It’s important to keep the history of Irma going,” she said. And to Paré’s family, she said: “Bless your hearts for coming out today.” The family replied positively from their table.

Sedgewick Museum visitor brings memories of former resident and hockey player Frank Roggeveen to light Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Sedgewick historian Joan Djos had an interesting visit recently while she was working at the Sedgewick Museum.

She says the son of Frank (Francis) Roggeveen stopped in recently, when he reported that his father had passed away in May. The Roggeveens first came to the Sedgewick Wyoming District when brothers Jake and Paul came to the area, followed by their father Johannas Jacobus Marinus Roggeveen in 1917 from Holland.

Paul married Agnes Koean, and they lived in the Wyoming District of now Flagstaff County, raising four boys: Adrian, Red, Frank, and Roland.

When Frank was 17, in 1952 the

Frank Roggeveen with the Edmonton Flyers (a farm team of the Detroit Red Wings if you recognize the jersey.)

family moved to Edmonton.

Two years later, he started his career as a professional hockey player, in 1954-55 he played Defence with the Edmonton Oil Kings in the WJHL, then the Edmonton Flyers (WHL) later in the season, and stayed in Edmonton with the Edmonton Flyers except for one year with the New Westminster Royals, until the 1958-59 season.

In those days, the Edmonton Flyers and the Calgary Stampeders were the hockey heroes in Alberta, with a strong rivalry and standing room only during their games.

The first year Frank joined the Flyers he joined NHL Hall of Famer teammates Johnny Bucyk, Norm Ullman with Glenn Hall in net when they beat out Calgary to win their second WHL championship.

The Flyers franchise was the farm team of the Detroit Red Wings, and Frank was acquired by the Toronto Maple Leafs June 1959 with Johnny Wilson for Barry Cullen.

In those days of the original six NHL teams, there were many outstanding players in the WHL league who ended up being tied to one NHL team for the rest of their careers, without ever getting to step foot on the NHL ice. That trade would see Frank play his last game with the Flyers.

The next season, 59-60, Frank played with the Trois-Riviéres Lions, where he first played with another famous D-man, Don Cherry.

In 1960-61, Frank moved to the Vancouver Canucks, then in the WHL. His first year with the Canucks he played 70 games, scoring 18 goals, 26 assists, and just eight penalty minutes.

The following year, he played 32 games with the Canucks, but also played for the Springfield Indians and the Sudbury Wolves, where he again played alongside Don Cherry.

A newspaper article from February

Roggeveen from his team with the Vancouver Canucks in the WHL League.

1962 reports that Frank thought he’d been moved around too much that season when the Wolves wanted him for the lineup after he’d already been told to report to the Indians, and Frank said ‘no.’

In 63-64 Frank played for the Charlotte Checkers in the EHL. Elite Prospects shows that he ended his career with the Edmonton Nuggets in 64-65 in the Western Canada Senior Hockey League, then

in 65-66 the Lloydminster Border Kings in the now-defunct BRHL, although in what capacity it doesn’t say for either team.

A former co-worker said he remembered seeing Frank’s name in a Toronto Maple Leaf program lineup in the 1960s as well.

According to the Sedgewick History book, the Roggeveens left the area in the late 1950s.

Water quality Killam accepting nominations to advisory rescinded fill newly vacant council seat Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Town of Killam has called a Nomination Day to fill a vacant seat on council left by the resignation of Shaun Storbakken.

Storbakken was elected by acclamation last September after a nomination day was held to fill the seat formerly held by Tien Coté after the 2021 Municipal Election.

Storbakken was the only person

who put forward a nomination in the last Nomination Day, and the town is hoping that others will show an interest for this opportunity to serve.

In a recent release advertising the opening, the Town asks: “Do you have an an interest and ideas on what a strong community needs?

“What would benefit Killam to ensure its viability for the future?

“Being a member of Town Council is the perfect place to

share your thoughts!”

Nomination packages are available now at the Town office, and Nominations will be accepted anytime up until noon on Monday, Aug. 28.

If more than one nomination is received, a byelection will be held.

For those interested, but looking for more information, any councillor would be happy to answer any questions.

at Shorncliffe Lake Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Alberta Health Services (AHS) lifted the water quality advisory on Thursday, Aug. 4, issued on July 24 for Shorncliffe Lake.

AHS says, “Water quality has returned to

an acceptable level and the health risk is low for usage of the beach for recreational purposes.

“As always, visitors and residents are reminded to never drink or cook with untreated water directly from any lake or reservoir, at any time.”

Vintage Fair fashions to be featured in Lougheed Fair’s 100th Jerry-Lynn Burden Lougheed Agricultural Fair is celebrating a centennial!

This coming weekend folks from the surrounding areas and those from afar will be returning for a walk down memory lane.

Preparations for a vintage fashion show have sparked quite an interest in days gone by.

Some dedicated sleuths have been combing local closets, old trunks, and attics on the hunt for what was fashionable through the years.

There’s a tuxedo that made the trek from Scotland in 1908 and a parade of beautiful wedding gowns that attest to why they have been lovingly stored for so many years.

Many articles were completely hand stitched or crafted on treadle machines.

Hemlines rose as the years passed.

Modelling some of these treasures will be grandchildren, a few going back five generations to the original owners.

If the clothes could talk, what a story they would tell.

NOT EVERYONE WHO SELLS INSURANCE IS AN INSURANCE SPECIALIST

WE’RE HERE TO GUIDE YOU

Purchasing the wrong coverage can lead to costly mistakes - and a broker can help you avoid those errors. Often with digital insurance options, people make a decision based on the cheapest price. Or they don’t want to spend a lot of time going through all the options, which can lead to not fully understanding any gaps in coverage. Even a small, innocent oversight could lead to a claim denial. 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!

Second week of swimming lessons at Hardisty Lake started this week Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

Well hello folks.

Walter Szoke telephoned me and requested that I share that there will be a "Come and Go Coffee," in honour of his brother Lorne's recent passing.

To Lorne's family and friends, please attend the Hardisty Community Hall on Aug. 10 at 2 p.m. to share your memories of Lorne. Lorne's official obituary can be found in this week’s Community Press.

The second week of the Hardisty Lake swimming lessons started on Monday. My daughter-in-law and her assistants are busy organizing a multitude of eager beavers, as they try to teach them the mechanics of swimming.

These students have to work quite hard, especially in the more senior classes. I was amazed at what these kids actually have to learn. I think I might fail the course, even though I can swim. I am pretty sure my endurance would not qualify me for a passing grade. I guess that is why we have life jackets, right?

I was looking at some of our deciduous trees and the tops are already turning yellow. Is that from the heatwaves we have endured or is that the first hint that fall is not that far away?

The men at our farm are busy silaging and haying. My husband was cutting silage in a valley and he looked up and, to his surprise, he saw an elk family. A bull, a cow, and a calf.

He was pretty shocked to actually see them, especially in the broad daylight, since they are so aloof. Just think how many more are hidden in the bush?

Last winter the elk en-

joyed using our silage pit as their free restaurant meal. It was hell trying to deter them, especially when the winter season was so hard on the animals.

Remember the Lougheed Fair is on Saturday and they are so proud to celebrate 100 years of existence.

There is something for all ages to enjoy. I had some leftover Cotton Candy in sealed containers that I was hoping to sell to the Fair, since the library did not sell all of theirs at our Street Fair in July.

Well, like a fool I had these air tight containers in the back of my car in that 30C intense heat.

Guess what happened?

These sealed 6” containers filled with candy, magically reduced in size, to a pink and blue blob, the size of a loonie at the bottom of the container.

The cotton candy basically disappeared! Now how does that occur? Is

sugar blown up under pressure and heat and then cool air in the night collapses everything? It is a mystery to me.

Half of the containers were not affected so we can hand them out at our last library craft day

on Wednesday. Guess I should Google this scientific event, but I am out of time.

A few thoughts for the week: housework is something you do that nobody notices unless you don't do it!

The best way for a husband to clinch an argument is to take her in his arms.

A mistake is evidence that someone tried to do something.

One of the biggest thrills in life comes from

doing a job well... From the book "Apples of Gold" compiled by Jo Petty.

Please give me some news. Has anyone had a great holiday or wedding? Until next week, smile and be kind.

Coronation RCMP charge suspects with weapon and drug related offences On July 31 at 1 p.m., due to an ongoing firearms investigation, Coronation and Consort RCMP conducted a search warrant on a residence in the County of Paintearth, Alta.

As a result of the search, Coronation RCMP have seized the following items: • Handgun with the serial number removed; • Rifle; • Brass knuckles; • Ammunition; • 2 grams of suspected fentanyl; and • 0.63 grams of suspected methamphetamine.

As a result of the investigation, Coronation RCMP have charged

Cody Severin (23), resident of the County of Paintearth, with: • Unauthorized possession of a weapon/firearm (3 counts); • Possession of a prohibited weapon/restricted firearm without a license (3 counts); • Careless storage of a firearm (2 counts); • Possession of a firearm with the serial number removed; and • Possession of a controlled substance.

Coronation RCMP have also charged Dale Thomas Clark (70) and Kareen Lynn Severin (56), residents of the County of Paintearth, with:

• Unauthorized possession of a weapon/firearm (3 counts); • Possession of a prohibited weapon/restricted firearm without a license (3 counts); and • Careless storage of a firearm (2 counts).

Cody Severin, Dale Thomas Clark and Kareen Lynn Severin were released on an undertaking with conditions.

Their next court appearance is set for Sept. 8, 2023, at 11 a.m., at the Alberta Court of Justice in Coronation.

“In a small community, the problems associated with weapon and drug related crimes are

amplified. As part of our Rural Crime Reduction Strategy, we encourage members of the public and businesses to report suspicious activity”, said Sergeant Pike, the Coronation RCMP Detach-

ment Commander.

Members of the public who want to report suspect suspicious activity or property related crime in their community can call their local police or, if they wish to

remain anonymous, can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at P3Tips.com or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.

AHS Health and Wellness: Choosing the best plant-based beverages Someone may choose to drink plant-based beverages because of allergies, vegetarian diet, intolerance to cow milk, or cultural or personal taste preferences.

These beverages look like milk and are often called “milks” but the nutrients they provide may be different.

Plant-based beverages are made from legumes, nuts, seeds, and grains, such as oat, soy, coconut, cashew, or almond.

Guide to choosing a plant-based beverage With so many options, it is important to pick a plant-based beverage that meets your nutrition needs.

Read the Nutrition Facts table on beverages before you buy and then select a beverage that: • Is unsweetened or has less than 15 per cent Daily Value (less than15 g) of sugar per one cup (250 mL).

• Has at least six grams of protein per one cup (250 mL).

• Has at least 23 per cent Daily Value of calcium per one cup (250 mL).

• Has more than 10 per cent Daily Value of vitamin D per one cup

(250 mL).

Read the ingredient list to see if vitamins and minerals have been added to the drink. If they have been added, the drink has been fortified. This information usually appears on the ingredient list as “Vitamin and Mineral Blend.”

If you choose plantbased beverages, serving advice is as follows: •Children under the age of two - Plant-based beverages do not contain enough fat, calories, and nutrients to help children’s brains and bodies grow and develop. Feed your child breastmilk or infant formula.

For others: • Offer two cups of a fortified plant-based beverage daily to children aged two and up.

• Older adults can meet their needs with one to two cups of a fortified plant-based beverage while also eating other protein foods as part of their diet.

• Two cups of a fortified plant-based beverage and a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU will help meet your nutrient needs when preg-

nant.

In addition to selecting a nutritious plantbased beverage, choose a variety of protein foods at meals and snacks.

Try beans, lentils, tofu, eggs, nuts and seed butter, fish, poultry, and lean meats.

FAITH COLUMN Twinkies and root beer A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six pack of root beer and he started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an elderly man. The man was sitting in the park just feeding some pigeons.

The boy sat down next

to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the man looked hungry, so he offered him a Twinkie. The man gratefully accepted it and smiled at the boy. His smile was so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, the man smiled at him.

The boy was delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the man, and gave him a hug. The man gave him the biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened

the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, “What did you do today that made you so happy”? He replied, “I had lunch with God.” But before his mother could respond, he added, “You know what? God’s got the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”

Meanwhile, the elderly
