Unusual residents take over Strome birdhouse
Strome resident Andy Nykolaishyn has an unusual display of birdhouses in his yard, and recently noticed something odd about one of them. It appears that either bees or wasps have decided to move in, completely covering one of the houses with their nest.

Rodeo season is definitely here
Ally Anderson Killam News
Howdy my fellow Killamites! It looks like the smokey weather is behind us, for now. Sadly more and more fires are popping up in BC and that smokes seems to always find its way to us. It has been a busy week for me as I’ve been at three rodeos to cover for the paper. Hardisty was last weekend, and that was a lot of fun. The Street Fair was a blast and the stands were packed for the rodeo action. Then on Wednesday I went North up to Kinsella for their annual Bullarama. The bulls this year seem to have had a good year of rest because they have been tough on the riders. I guess that is what makes it all the more fun to watch! Then this last weekend I was up in Viking for the Cloverlodge Stampede. They had a lot going on, with different rodeo events as well as bouncy houses and a money sand pit. You can tell everyone is excited to finally have something to do this summer now that COVID restrictions have lifted. Next weekend is Bruce Stampede so I hope to see you there! In my Killam News two weeks ago I mistakenly mentioned that at the Seniors Centre for
coffee that it was seniors who were welcome. I did not mean to make that sound like only seniors are welcome. Anyone who wants to come in for coffee is welcome! Like I said, it is a fun crowd to sit down and chat with! If you see any of these fantastic people be sure to wish them a happy birthday this week: Sebastien Sinclair, Shanon Mochid, and Tyler Krys, July 28; Trevor Sorken, July 29; Marcy Lazarick, July 30; Kiana Piche,
Aug. 1. Happy anniversary greetings to Denis and
Marge Boutin, July 31; Mark and Catherine Skaar, Aug. 2.

Coy Robbins (pictured above) recently competed at the Kinsella Graveldome Bullarama, held on Wednesday, July 21. Unfortunately his ride on “Time well spent,” a high-rated bull with a 79 per cent buck off rating, came to a quick end after 2.33 seconds. Former Wheat Kings player Tanner Eno finished third in the event. The stands were full and the weather was perfect.
