Anyone looking west of Killam on Sunday, June 14, just before 7 p.m. might have been alarmed to see what looks like a funnel cloud hovering over the Town. Joleen Blaeser of Killam caught the rotating appendage on video. At one point during the video, above right, the cloud lengthened into a point and definite rotation could be seen in the cloud. The cloud thinned to a point, then moments later returned to its original shape without getting any closer to the ground. Many in the area caught the cloud with still photos. There were no weather warnings out for Killam at the time of the sighting.
Funnel cloud sparks multiple reports to Environment Canada
Area 53 Raceway enjoys a smokin’ weekend of racing
Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Environment Canada received multiple reports of funnel clouds in central Alberta from Sunday, June 14, including the one that surfaced over Killam at around 7 p.m. Caught on video by Joleen Blaeser in Killam, the cloud was confirmed to be a funnel cloud, but did not have any ground circulation beneath it that would indicate a tornado. Environment Canada Meteorologist Blaine Lowry made the confirmation, and provided a definition of a tornado: “A rotating column of air, extending from the base of a cumuliform cloud, and often visible as a condensation funnel in contact with the ground, and/or attendant circulating dust or debris cloud at the ground. “If the funnel cloud is visible though not reaching the ground, and there is ground circulation under the funnel cloud, then we’d have a tornado.”
AREA 53 RACEWAY PHOTO
The Area 53 Raceway in Forestburg experienced clouds of a different type on the weekend as they hosted racers from around the province on Saturday, June 13, and Sunday, June 14, to rave reviews. With Alberta Health opening Phase two of the Province’s Relaunch plan the Friday before, the track attracted racers, pit crews, and even spectators, within the expanded guidelines, for a great weekend of eighth-mile drag racing.

Exciting news as Sedgewick Library plans to re-open Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030
Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com
Exciting news! The Sedgewick Public Library will reopen on July 2. Hours of operation will be the same as before COVID-19. However, social distancing and AHS rules will be implemented. Only three patrons are allowed in the library at one time. At this stage, they requested no minors under the age of 14 to enter. Parents or guardians can still acquire material for their children. Only one computer will be open for use in half hour intervals. Lougheed library reopened as of June 12 but is following the same guidelines. It's also time to submit your forms for the Sedgewick Community Spirit Calendar for 2021 organized by the library. All renewals received prior to Aug. 1 will be entered for a chance to win a $100 Co-op gift card donated by Stephen Levy. In order to do so, call the library, stop by once opened, or contact a board member and they can help you out. Time to get back
to reading and submitting your forms for a chance to win some money. The Wild Rose Co-op food stores started an initiative to help fill the shelves in our local food banks, both in Camrose and Flagstaff County. So every Friday for the month of June, at the end of your grocery purchase, there will be cards for you to leave a message and an amount of your choosing. Your help is greatly appreciated. If you haven't got a face mask yet, the Town of
Sedgewick is a distribution partner for the Province of Alberta for three-ply non-medical face masks. Every Albertan is eligible to receive a package of four free disposable masks and residents can pick up theirs at the Town of Sedgewick Administration Office. These masks are suitable for use in situations like grocery shopping when physical distancing may not be possible. There's still time to get yours. You'll be happy to hear
the Killam Agriplex announced that the pool will reopen soon. As you can imagine, it takes a while to get ready for reopening with the new guidelines. The Family Resource Centre, also known as the indoor playground within the facility, will remain closed until phase three; however, the weekly crafts and activity bags for pick up will continue, and they are definitely worth checking out. Our family has been enjoying them immensely.
They are free and registration opens every Sunday, until supplies last. If you
