Fans pack stands, flock to Hardisty during 3-day event Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Visitors to Hardisty over the weekend from Friday, July 16, to Sunday, July 18, were ready to celebrate, starting with a very successful Street Fair on Friday to a packed house for Saturday and Sunday rodeo events.

The smoky skies didn’t deter the crowds, at one of the area’s first big events to start up after the province declared Alberta ‘Open for Summer’ on July 1.

The Hardisty Rodeo Association had the grounds in tip-top shape for this year’s event.

The entire event, from street fair to combine crunch, takes an incredible commitment from many hard-working volunteers, and drew a big crowd into the Flagstaff region this weekend for some long-awaited entertainment.

Lakeland Rodeo contestants did their best to entertain, with a number of local names on the program.

The Bull Riding event saw the bulls come out ahead, with not a single finisher, although one came within a hair’s breadth of six seconds. Keaton Martz

from Forestburg was one of the local competitors in this event.

Steer Wrestling saw Czar’s Dayton Roworth come in third place, with a time of 7.4 seconds.

Ladies Barrel racing featured Kaitlin Haeberle of Viking and Shiela Chamulke of Bruce, unfortunately neither placed in the top six this time out.

Team Roping saw Dayton Roworth and Cole Flad of Czar place sixth, with a time of 17.8.

Two teams from Viking, Cash and Bill Littau, and Kevin Heaberle with Bruce’s Chris Chomik, competed but didn’t make it to the top five.

Strome’s Levi Robbins rode in the Junior Steer riding, but didn’t finish in the top six this time around.

In the Junior Barrell Racing, Hardisty’s own Reegan Dempsey competed, along with Daysland Jayda Songhurst.

Songhurst came in third with a time of 18.877.

Top Bareback was Colton Oulette on Peco Bill with a score of 72, coming in second was Keagan Elder on Mackinaw, with a 70.

In Saddle Bronc finish, Dyllan Duperron rode Baton Rouge to a win with 71.5

points, with Wyatt Simpson on Domestic Shadow placing second with 70, and Jake Henry riding Stones for a 67.

Steer Wrestling saw Lance Fraser out like a rocket with a time of 5.2, with Kagen Schmidt close behind at 5.8.

Austin Young won the Calf Roping with a 9.2 overall, with Koby Ziemmer coming a close second with a 9.3, and third-place Darren Zieffle from Consort just a little behind at 9.6 for third place.

Team Roping saw Kyle Wanchuk and Heston Zack finish first with a 6.9, with Travis Reay and Glen Allan Nash coming in second at 7.2. Landin Warren and Cole Warren finished close behind in third place with a 7.5.

The top three in Ladies Barrel Racing were hundredths of a second apart, with Halley Bedwell finishing first with 18.221, Aimee Cripps a close second with 18.252, and Amara Duxbury in third place at 18.376.

Garret Zieffle from Consort rode Sky High in Novice Horse Riding for the win.

Junior Steer Riding saw Kane Scott finish with a 67.5, with Nash Loewen close behind with a 66.5, and Kahl Wasilow and Brody Bandurka tied for

third at 65 apiece.

The Junior Barrel racers weren’t far behind the ladies, with Hanna Anderson finishing first at 18.382, Amy Naismith second with 18.536, and Jayda Songhurst in third with 18.877.

Lakeland Rodeo cowboys and cowgirls will be in Viking next week for the Cloverlodge Rodeo, with some locals slugging it out again.

Sunday will see Viking’s Nathan Carter in Bull Riding, and Czar’s Dayton Roworth in the Steer Wrestling.

Sunday will also see Strome’s Levi Robbins in Junior Steer Riding, along with Kegan Miller of Viking.

Sunday’s Junior Barrel racing will see Daysland’s Jayda Songhurst return, along with Sydney Miller from Viking.

Saturday’s Ladies Barrel Racing will see Chelsea Cumming from Viking compete, while Sunday will bring Kaitlin Haeberle from Viking.

Sunday’s Bull Riding event will feature Viking native Nathan Carter.

Also on Sunday, Viking’s Cash and Bill Littau will be back in the Team Roping event, along with the team of Chris Chomik of Bruce and Kevin Haeberle of Viking.

Weekend Braves’ tournament brings ball back to Killam The Killam Braves held their tournament on Saturday, July 17.

The Lougheed Wildcats, helped by the pitching of Kris Gira and some Calgary talent, beat the Midget boys in the first game.

The Rosalind Oldtimers stopped the host Braves in game two.

Spring Lake/Heisler Rivals, with Tyler Bendfeld on the hill, handled the Amisk Astros in the third game.

Lougheed, behind the pitching of

Lane Roggensack, beat Rosalind in the semi-final.

In the final, Damon Zimmer pitched the Rivals to a win over a tired Lougheed squad.

Despite the smoke (and the rust) there was some impressive hitting and ball played by all the teams.

The umping duties were well handled by Garry Thompson and David Muirhead while Dean Berrecloth manned the grill all day.

The Braves want to express their thanks to Battle River Implements for providing their mobile barbecue and to everyone who helped and came out to watch!

There were no Battle River Baseball League regular games this year, but the league is hoping next year things will return to normal.

Lougheed Fair will have men's ball Aug. 7.

RCMP hosting Touch- a-Truck event in August Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Killam RCMP are bringing a new activity to the region this August, when they will be holding the first-annual Touch-a-Truck event.

Acting Supervisor Cst. Nick Daigle, who came up with the idea, says, “I have seen and attended a few of these types of events back in New Brunswick, and I thought it would be a great thing to have here.”

He says the rest of the

Detachment members were fully behind the idea, too.

The event will feature a number of vehicles that are commonly seen working around the area, but for most, including children, are rarely seen close up.

NOTHING

COULD MAKE YOU HAPPIER

“Basically we’re hoping to have any truck that a kid thinks is cool.”

The Detachment has partnered with Flagstaff Victim Services to help plan and host the event, to be held at Battle River Implements, in Killam.

Daigle says being relatively new to the Flagstaff region, he knows there may be more companies who would be interested in participating. “Just give us a call at the Detachment.”

In addition to the Toucha-Truck, Daigle says there will also be a free barbeque, and he’s hoping to organize other activities for families.

“It’s really a family friendly event,” he adds.

Vaccine passports a necessary document?

If you are one of the 59.7 per cent of Albertans who have now received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, you won’t have much proof of that.

As the Province and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney have stated, as late as last week, Alberta will not “facilitate or accept vaccine passports.”

But for those who may plan to travel outside the province, very little is provided by way of proof of vaccination other than a flimsy piece of paper given at the time a second or first dose has been received.

Quebec, who still has some restrictions in place in parts of the province where COVID-19 continues to infect high numbers of people, has plans to bring in passports this fall for fully vaccinated people wanting to visit non-essential businesses.

We don’t have that issue in Alberta right now, and hopefully won’t be facing it again, and in those circumstances, I’m not wholly in favour of using vaccination passports to control what people can do in their own community.

However, Manitoba has been issuing proof of immunization cards to residents once they are two weeks past their second vaccination.

In my mind, this is a completely reasonable thing to do, and when and if one is ever required to show proof of a vaccination, what do you think someone is more likely to accept, given the alternative?

An Angus Reid poll conducted in May found that 79 per cent of Canadians approved of a vaccine passport for international travel, while just 55 per cent felt they should be used to access things like movie theatres or restaurants.

Kenney has gone on the record saying he believes immunization cards would “in principle contravene the Health Information Act and also possibly the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.” Kenney has also made it clear that if the federal government attempts to introduce proof of immunization at a national level, he would speak up.

I do get his point, that the “passports” shouldn’t be used to control what people can or can’t do, but I really think the province is missing the mark in not providing vaccinated Albertans with some form of documentation that they may need should they decide to travel both within or outside of the country.

I support not having mandated vaccination passports, but I do believe that the province should make some form of proof available voluntarily in a standardized format for anyone who wants it.

Like it or not, COVID-19 is a worldwide problem, and without solid proof of vaccination, Albertans may find themselves limited as far as travel plans go if the province refuses to provide any official documentation.

Living well: Self care and fun Self-care is so important, because it comes from us, for us. We know what we need better than anyone else.

There are many ways for us to practice self-care and today we are going to talk about fun!

It can be easy when we feel stressed, tired, depressed and perhaps alone to put fun on the back burner.

Fun comes in all shapes and sizes and I bet if you grab a piece of paper and a pen you can write down 10 things that you consider fun (challenge yourself to see if you can come up with even more.) Once you come up with your list ask yourself when was the last time you experienced any of these ways of having fun. If the answer is “I can’t remember” then you are encouraged to ask yourself why and then make some time for yourself to experience some or all of the items, on your list.

Having a hard time coming up with a list? Perhaps you could team up with someone and discuss the question to see what you can uncover together.

you move your body. For a magnified experience, dance with a smile on your face; you will notice how positive you feel, because smiling releases endorphins (the feel good chemical) in your brain and it is almost impossible to feel sad, mad or bad!

During this pandemic, it may feel like fun is a thing of the past but it is up to us to make sure we don’t let that happen! Make ‘fun’ dates with yourself.

You deserve and need to release any stress that your body is storing, not to mention that taking time for yourself, signals a feeling of well-being and will in turn make it easier to deal with whatever stressors you have in your life (pandemic or not). It contributes to our resiliency and ability to operate positively in the world.

Let’s empower ourselves and look for ways to safely have more FUN!

Well Being began to ask each other what brings fun into our lives, we got quite a few different answers.

Some mentioned dancing, listening to music and doing art.

Others mentioned hiking, kayaking, entertaining young children, going to live performances, biking, travelling, cooking, baking, quadding, learning something new, getting together with family and friends; the list went on and on.

While some of these things are not permitted at this time most are possible.

For those things we can do and are not; why not? Are we feeling too tired or unmotivated or unsure?

If so, begin with baby steps. Put on some music and dance in your living room for 10 minutes.

Close your eyes and pay attention to how the music makes you feel and how your energy is shifting as

Glorious return of public gatherings with Hardisty Rodeo weekend Ricci Matthews Ph: 780-888-2490

Hardisty Call Ricci with your news!

Well hello folks. Now wasn't that a party? Wow! Hardisty, you outdid yourself this weekend. It was a weekend to remember.

We are mostly free of COVID-19 and everyone was eager to socialize and participate in the rodeo events. The Street Fair and Rodeo committees worked tirelessly to bring you a fabulous rodeo. There was tactile happiness felt in the air, people were smiling and did not have their happy faces hidden under a mask.

Friday’s Street Fair entertained you with games, food, fun, and a multitude of vendors. The Royal Purple ladies were serving a yummy lunch at the Elk's hall, while customers were serenaded by a large group of cowboy musicians. A few folks even got up for a few dances. It was fabulous.

Talking about food brings me to the food booth beside the rodeo beer gardens. Did you know that we were serving five and a half ounce burgers? They were thick, juicy, and tasted divine. I bet the meat was probably equal to six skinny little McDonald's burgers, but with way more taste. I worked in the booth and never had one complaint. The burgers were a hit! The booth’s pies were all sold out by Sunday morning and our coffee was Tim Horton's. The Grandstand Booth also kept folks fed and watered. They served this taco salad with all the fixings in a bag of crushed nacho chips. It looked gross, but tasted divine! Folks were munching on this unique food group all over the Grandstand.

There is always some foodie that invents some interesting new recipes, eh?

I can't say enough about all the volunteers and the fantastic rodeo participants.

I was personally amazed at the young girls that did gymnastics on the backs of moving horses.

The finale was the "Combine Crunch." This event really draws in the crowds from far and wide and is the crowning glory to the end of the rodeo. Yahoo Hardisty, you aced this!

Congratulations!

My sister-in-law, Ruth, comes home to the farm every year so she can enjoy the rodeo and meet up with old acquaintances. This year did not disappoint. We were busy enjoying the parade and a grey haired lady with a big hat and sunglasses approached Ruth and said, "Man, it’s been a long time since we both rode in a parade." Then it dawned on Ruth that this was her buddy Gerry, who had also run for rodeo Queen half a century ago. I asked what were the qualifications at that time to enter the queen contest?

She said whoever sold the most tickets was later crowned the rodeo Queen.

You were also expected to ride a horse in the parade.

Well, her friend Gerry had never even been on the back of a horse! Yikes... what to do? Well Ruth, being the kind soul that she was, took Gerry to the Matthews farm. Ruth taught her how to get on a horse and stay there over a span of just two weeks before the rodeo weekend.

Ruth prayed and sweated, hoping the horse Gerry rode would not act up with the noise of people and parade participants. The horse and Gerry survived and all was good.

In later years the expectations and skills changed a bit for rodeo queens. I called a few queens and you were not only expected to sell tickets, but also have knowledge of horses, have horsemanship skills, and riding skills.

There were quite a few past rodeo queens in the crowds this weekend. I researched who these lovely

ladies were by reading the recent Hardisty history book called "Along the Battle." Some of the queens were Taryn Szoke, Maureen Hays, Freda Brausen, Koreen Golka, Darlyne Schmidt, Fay Bronson, and etcetera.

Lori and Ian MacKinnon are pleased to announce that today, Monday, July 19, their eldest daughter Lauren is being married. The groom is Kevin Hartmetz from St. Albert. A small family gathering will be attending the nuptials at the groom’s parents’ acreage.

Congratulations to this couple and we wish you a day filled with love, today and forever.

Wilf and Marlene Adam enjoyed visiting with their daughter Sharon and granddaughter Emery. The little one is four years old and loved the street fair.

She was so excited to win sidewalk chalk from the fish pond at Rustic Stars and then the bouncy castle at the end of main street totally entertained her. Oh, to be young.

Ken and Michele Rutledge hosted the Alberta Junior Hereford Association's annual summer show from July 16 to 1 at their ranch north of Hardisty.

Fifty junior members participated and about 75 heads of cattle were shown.

In conjunction with the show the Northern Alberta Hereford Club and the Alberta Hereford Association held their AGM's. It was a great, family-friendly weekend.

I am hoping the library gets a call soon that Bingo will restart on Sunday nights. Many groups appreciate the money they earn by selling Nevadas (tickets) at Bingo. I love selling the tickets because the evening is total entertainment and the yipees heard when someone actually wins and the sighs of the people that only needed one more square to fill... “Darn, I nearly won.” You can tell immediately who is miss-

ing from the regular players because 99 per cent of them always sit in the same seat in the hall. Just like people think they have their personal pew in the church sanctuary. It's quite funny. I would not like to be the

person who inadvertently sat in the seat of a longtime hardcore bingo player. I belive they would be asked to move. Remember that the Senior's centre also has bingo starting again on Thursdays, just after lunch.

I saw some pregnant mommies in the crowd, so we should have some baby news soon.

Have a good week, enjoy your summer and pray for rain for crops and the beautiful countryside. Cheerio.

Ag. Minister addresses crops Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Alberta Agriculture Minister Devin Dreeshan issued an update on Monday, July 19, saying, “Alberta’s government recognizes the significant impacts that extreme dry weather has on the province’s producers.

“Our government is standing up for Alberta farmers and ranchers to

ensure they are supported through these extreme conditions.

“With a federal election looming, Alberta received verbal commitment from Ottawa that a joint AgriRecovery program will be initiated to support Prairie producers affected by drought conditions prior to an election.

“At the FederalProvincial-Territorial Agriculture Ministers’

meeting, the Prairie provinces and Ontario raised the extreme dry conditions that are increasing costs and diminishing yields for farmers and ranchers.

“The details of an AgriRecovery program are still being developed with industry and we will work with our provincial and federal counterparts to ensure that Alberta’s farmers and ranchers are sup-

If Newspaper Advertising worked for you in the past, why change it now?

Social media is as much of a gamble as ever. There are so many platforms, so many choices, so many algorithms, and many younger users have long since lost interest in Facebook, opting instead for platforms like Tik Tok and Snapchat.

Your local newspaper has the advantage of not falling victim to irrelevancy as some (mostly daily) newspapers have. We are a unique, all-encompassing product that has maintained its readership and quality for 110+ years. We have not cut back our commitment to the areas we serve the way other publications have. We are as invested as ever. Any drops in readership over the years coincided only with drops in local population.

Our reporting on important matters during the past year has created a major uptick in engagement and interaction with our local reader base.

This means as many people are reading our product consistently as ever.

ported.

“I have advised Alberta crop adjusters to be flexible and complete early assessments with affected crop and hay land – for example offering alternative use of crops to address forecasted feed shortages in our livestock industry.

“Alberta announced a 20 per cent reduction in insurance premiums this year.

“This allowed almost 400 additional farmers and ranchers to enrol in crop, pasture, and forage insurance that protects against weather-related production loss.

“Alberta also has a Water Pumping Program that provides assistance to producers for the emergency filling of dugouts for livestock.

“Producers can rent pipe and pumping equipment from the province to fill dugouts or other suitable catch basins from nearby water sources for their animals.

“I want to assure producers across Alberta that we understand the severity of this prolonged period of extreme dry weather and we are doing everything we can to ensure you receive the support you need.”

OBITUARY

Sedgewick News Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

In the latest episode of Flagstaff County's podcast, former Councillor Charlotte Curtis talks about her ongoing efforts to compile obituaries, birth notices, and wedding and anniversary announcements, along with funeral cards and wedding invitations, for a historical collection and an online database. She tells Flagstaff County Communications Coordinator Cary Castagna all about this exhaustive project that encompasses the entire Flagstaff Region.

What an admirable challenge Charlotte took on.

Outdoor watering is now permitted in the Town of Sedgewick on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. Please keep to these times and conserve water when possible.

Last week 620,400 gallons of water were used and supplied by the municipal reservoir which has a capacity of 450,000 gallons. Since the beginning of the month, with a partial watering ban in place, the reservoir has been emptied more than three times. Water usage above and beyond what the reservoir was built to handle is the reason for the water restrictions im-

posed this summer.

This is a hardship for many as it is in many towns and villages across Alberta. We hope the small-town values of pulling together for the greater good are able to prevail during this time.

The Sedgewick Golf Club is looking for a few more volunteers for their casino weekend at the beginning of August. Please let them know if you are available to help.

A lover of dialogue and advice, Pat was a “talker” and loved to engage in good conversation with people.

She had a smile that could be seen for miles and a laugh that could fill a room.

Touching memorial bench in Galahad

Saturday August 21, 2021

Tickets Available!

Leslie Cholowsky Editor

The Galahad Fire Department recently unveiled a memorial bench made specially to honour two of the hamlet’s firefighters who tragically lost their lives in a hiking accident in 2020.

Galahad Fire Chief Kim Cannady says the Department had the memorial bench manufactured for Matt Kozak and Zabrina Ferrier, with plans to install it at the Galahad

Community Hall, “In front of the bowling alley that Matt and Zabrina liked so much.”

Cannady says the bench was custom made by Neil Thorsteinson of TNT Metalworks, with a background of mountains and trees, “because Matt and Zabrina loved hiking so much.”

The inscription and background were hand cut by Thorsteinson.

Cannady says once

the bench was ready, the Department waited for the couple’s family to be able to travel to Galahad to see it.

“We installed the memorial bench for Matt and Zabrina this week while their family was here for a visit.”

The couple was reported missing last September by Killam RCMP, and their bodies were found in the Verdant Pass area of Jasper National Park two days later.

Kozak and Ferrier were active members of

Hardisty

the Galahad Fire Department, and in the community.

In the Field with Harry:White cockle is a county scourge One of the main weeds we have in this county that seems to be spreading, is white cockle. At this time of year, you see a lot of flowers showing up along fence lines, especially in the boundary between the field crop and the edge of the road.

The field edge is a difficult zone as some over-spraying by field operators can leave patches of bare soil, the perfect place for invasive weeds to start.

White cockle as an invasive weed is either a biennial or short-lived perennial. It is a little unusual as male and female flowers form on separate plants. It often starts as a rosette of lance shaped leaves, about one to four inches long. After forming a rosette, the stalks emerge and have leaves opposite, two per node. Both the stalks and the leaves are covered in fine hairs, but the plant is not sticky, like nightflowering catch-fly.

This particular weed is a prolific seed producer, having up to 24,000 seeds per plant. That is why it is important to try and prevent the plant from going to seed.

It spreads only by seed and seed size is around one millimetre.

When flowering, it is easily seen, particularly in the mornings, but flowers can close when temperatures increase. It is especially a problem in hay land and headlands. As it is difficult to separate from alfalfa and clover seed, it can be a contaminant in hay seed. Using certified hay seed with a weed certificate can help prevent it

getting established on your land.

There are several ways to try and control the plants. If cultivated, you have to go deep enough to sheer the crown from the root and deposit it on the surface to dry out. Root pieces can generate complete plants if moisture is good. Herbicides can work, but the hairs on the leaves make it difficult to get much herbicide into the plant.

There are several herbicides and herbicide mixes that have some effect on it, but they usually contain metsulfuron methyl in them. It is not usually a problem in annually cropped land, but can be a major problem in hay. Importing hay from areas where white cockle is present is another way for this weed to enter your land.

If you mow the flower heads you can prevent seed production, but the root can regrow new shoots and seed production later in the summer is a possibility. If you have a thick, healthy hay or grass stand it can effectively shade out the white cockle and prevent it from establishing.

However, once established, using crop competition is not effective at preventing plant growth and seed production.

In other words, it is much easier to keep it out than to try and eradicate it. And finally, small infestations can be picked out, but the entire root must be removed to be effective. It is not poisonous to livestock, but it is also not particularly palatable.

White cockle is a problem in many parts

of the black soil zone.

It thrives along fencelines and in hay fields. It takes a concerted effort to eliminate it and unfortunately, there is plenty

of it in Flagstaff county. Let us know of any infestations so we can address the problem on county land and help get it under control.

OBITUARIES Kenneth Micheal Roth

December 29, 1933 to July 13, 2021 Kenneth Michael Roth was born December 29, 1933, in the Heisler area; the home of his parents, Bill and Mary Roth.

He was born the oldest of eight children, seven boys and one girl.

Ken, beloved husband, dad, grandpa, and greatgrandpa, passed away

peacefully at Daysland Health Centre on July 13, 2021, at the age of 87 years.

Ken grew up on the family farm and received his education in the one-room schools of the day, in the pasture playing baseball and on the frozen slough, playing hockey.

He left school after Grade 10 and began his working life as a farm hand for various farmers in the area. He also spent many years running equipment for the municipality, building, and maintaining roads throughout Flagstaff County. But he was a farmer at heart.

So shortly after he and Christa were married, they purchased a farm in the Spring Lake area and spent

the next 40 plus years building a home and a life together. Even after he retired to Daysland in 2005, Ken would spend nearly every day at the farm, always busy doing something.

During his younger years, Ken was an avid sportsman; playing goal for the local hockey team and he spent many years playing and coaching baseball.

When his grandchildren became involved in sports, he was sure to be there to cheer them on and, often, to be the chauffeur. He often said watching kids play hockey, baseball, or any sport, was better than any professional team that you can watch on TV. He will be lovingly re-

membered by his wife of 58 years Christa; his daughter Judy (Bob) Hayes; sons Ken (Kathy) and Dan (Sonja); ten grandchildren: Michael (Kim), Erica (Travis), Aaron (Sophia), Carley, Jordan, Jessica, Lindsey (Avery), Benjamin, Brian, and Emily; and two great-grandchildren: Stephenie and Victoria. Ken also leaves to mourn, five brothers: Roger, Stan (Cindy), Larry, Doug, and Randy (Barb); brothersin-law: Al Hunt, John (Liz) Holt, Richard (Laurie) Holt, and Harold (Beatrice) Holt; sisters-in-law: Linda A Roth, Gail Roth, and Edith Gehlert; and many more relatives and friends who will forever hold his memories close to their hearts.

Faith: What does the Lord require of you?

The other day, I was reading the parable about the Pharisee and the tax collector praying from Luke 18:914. This parable is a great study in the role of humility in prayer, but there may be a more subtle point at work here. Both had reason to change their ways, but the proud Pharisee's agenda was to demonstrate his superiority in no uncertain

terms, while the humble tax collector essentially threw himself on God's mercy.

There is a great deal on display here to guide us about the way to pray. Prayer, in and of itself, is not the goal, such as what we have to tell God or ask God to sort out for us, but an attitude of quiet awareness when we listen for what God has in mind for us. It's like leaving

a space for God to answer.

The Pharisee prays for “show” while the tax collector prays to “grow” in his relationship with God. At the end of the parable, Jesus makes the point that the self-appointed "great" person is actually not as great as the humble tax collector. This makes me think about our society where it seems that the proud are

Over 100 years Funeral Home History, Heritage, Tradition and Crematorium Joe Spiller, Les Fee & Cheryl Fee Directors

newsworthy while the humble are overlooked.

Why not take a moment today and ask yourself: "What does God require of me here and now?"

Wally Funk becomes oldest person to go to space Mary Wallace “Wally” Funk, who was born on Feb. 1, 1939, became the oldest person to go to space on Tuesday, July 20, when she accompanied Jeff Bezos on Blue Origin’s New Shepard during a suborbital flight.

She became a professional aviator in 1959, and in 1961, applied to NASA for the “Women in Space” program. She was one of 25 who were invited to the program, and 13 who graduated. She even outperformed astronaut John Glenn on many of the astronaut training tests. Unfortunately, the

“Women in Space” program was cancelled before any of the women could actually venture into space. She applied three more times to NASA, unsuccessfully.

Funk turned her love of flying into a very successful career as an Air Safety Investigator.

She never forgot her dream, however, and in 2012 put money down to secure a spot on Virgin Galactic. It was Blue Origin, however, who finally made her dream come true at age 82.

Concert organizers would never run just one radio ad.

A soft drink commercial would never air just once on TV. Yet for decades, newspapers have been so effective, often 1 ad is all it takes.

BUT, multiple ad insertions actually garner the best results. Studies show, print continues to outperform all other mediums with overall retention and effectiveness.

Hardisty Street Fair & Rodeo Parade fun for all ages

Hardisty was packed with visitors and action during the annual Street Fair and Rodeo weekend July 16 to 18. The Street Fair entertained with inflatable activities, vendors, watermelon eating contests, and fun for the whole family.

The pancake breakfast and parade kicked off the rodeo Saturday morning, where the entertainment continued the rest of the weekend with bucking bulls, kicking broncs, steer wrestling, barrel races, and more, ending the weekend with the exciting Combine Crunch.
