Dance Inspirations Year End Recital

Patricia Harcourt Editor

Viking Dance Inspirations held its yearend recital at the Kinsella Community Hall last Saturday night with family and friends on hand to watch the dancers perform their numbers. From beginners to older adolescents, the members of the club danced to different tunes and dance styles with many brightly coloured costumes and themebased apparel to entrance the watchers. The beginners performed to “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride,” which was an adorable kick off to the evening’s entertainment. There were various other performances to delight the audience,

including displays of musical theatre, jazz, tap, lyrical duets, and solo. Everyone enjoyed a delicious luncheon during the intermission. After the grand finale, Club President Bailey Stannard thanked everyone for coming to the recital. “Your attendance shows your support for our dancers, coaches and the influence dance has on our community,” she said. “We had an amazing season, our competition at the For the Love Of Dance was exciting with all of our dancers having incredible results and feedback from adjudicators. “What a great experience and it’s fantastic to see each dancer grow, and change and learn new things.”

County explores ways to help community halls with costs Patricia Harcourt Editor

Beaver County Council spent time discussing insurance options for non-profit organizations at their April 20 regular meeting. In the end, they settled on the needs of rural community halls within their boundaries to be reviewed for later discussion. The councillors appeared to favour giving independent funds to the hall organizations, and staying away from bringing non-profits under their insurance umbrella or with the RMA. Margaret Jones, manager of Legislative Services, gave council a report outlining options available to them, outlining the issues for rural community halls, cemeteries, the seed cleaning plant, and agriculture societies. “Many non-profit organizations obtain insurance coverage privately,” she stated. “Others are affiliated with municipal or provincial organizations and may be able to obtain insurance at preferred rates.” Speaking of rural community halls, she stated: “Premiums are expensive. Council recognizes the financial burden that insurance premiums can place on these groups.” Under a county policy, a grant of up to $1,000 is given

to rural community halls to help with this burden. After Jones read her report, Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson said that “the easiest way out is to subsidize their existing insurance premiums,” calling it “the simplest way to go.” Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) agreed, adding this leaves “no tie (insurance-wise) to the county.” But Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) disagreed citing Spilstead Hall, which costs $6,000 a year just for insurance.

Council had been considering adding $500 to their current $1,000 grant to rural halls. This would give a total of $1,500 a year to each hall to help with these costs. “$500 more wouldn’t do it for them,” Williams said, referring to the Spilstead Hall. “I think a community group policy is something that should be investigated.” This was one of two options recommended by Jones, the other being subsidizing insurance costs in the county policy on halls. However, Smook

asked if “the county is stuck as a payee,” under a community group policy if there was a fire. Jones replied that she “never heard of anyone running out of insurance.” Hrabec said the county should help the community halls with their insurance, “instead of all the nonprofits.” He said the increased costs of insurance need to be addressed. He felt this was “better than going the insurance coverage route.” Jones said she would research council’s pref-

erence and bring it back for discussion at another meeting. A motion was passed directing administra-

tion to review the Community Hall Funding Policy to address the high cost of insurance premiums.

Be FireSmart about your spring cleaning Moush John Tofield Mercury

With spring here finally, it’s important to get into the annual spring cleaning phase. However, here’s some outdoor maintenance steps that can be included to help protect homes from wildfire. “With the change in seasons, many Albertans have spring cleaning on their minds and are starting to clean up their yards on their farms or acreages,” says Laura Stewart, FireSmart specialist with Alberta Agriculture,

Forestry and Rural Economic Development. “Some outdoor maintenance activities can be done in the early spring to help protect your home from the damages of wildfire, as we see the wildfire danger rise dramatically in late April and May.” The first thing to do is walk around your property to identify wildfire risks. Start with the first five feet around the entire home and any attachments, such as decks. “What combustible fuels are you keeping closest to your home?

You want to keep a special eye out for things like dry leaves, grass and twigs, firewood piles, construction materials, and patio furniture,” says Stewart. “Whenever possible, you want to move these items at least 33 feet from the home or safely store them in a garage or shed.” Embers ignite more than half of homes damaged or destroyed by wildfire. Research has shown that structural modifications, like fireresistant building materials, can reduce the risk of wildfire damage up

to 40 per cent. If you’re making important structural modifications and moving those combustible fuels further away from your home, you can reduce wildfire risk by up to 75 per cent. Here’s some simple actions that homeowners can take to address four key areas of the home. Roof: Keep the roof clean and clear of combustible debris, such as leaves, twigs and branches. Upgrade roof to a Class A ignition resistant roofing material. Class A roofing materials include clay tile, con-

crete tile, metal and asphalt shingles. Siding, vents and openings: Examine siding for locations where embers could accumulate or hide. Inspect vents and openings often to ensure they are in good repair and combustible debris is re-

moved. Stucco, brick, fibre cement boards/panels and poured concrete siding all offer superior fire resistance. Consider upgrading to a non-combustible siding material. Metal prodContinued on Continued on Page Page34

Warm weather heralds the return of some little ‘buzzers’ Warm weather and extra hours of sunlight spark flowering trees and plants to bloom anew. This is the time of year when the air is sweet with the aroma of blossoms and the familiar hum of insects can be heard all around. Not all “bugs” are the same this time of year. While you probably won’t want ants invading your backyard grill fest,

the presence of bees nearby can be a good thing - even if those curious yellow-and-black critters get a little close for comfort from time to time. That’s because almost 90 percent of wild plants and 75 percent of the leading global crops depend on animal pollination, indicates the World Wildlife Federation. Bees are remarkable

creatures in small packages. The following are some bee facts to buzz about, courtesy of the WWF, Save the Bees™, NASA, and the Texas A&M University Honey Bee Information Site. • There are roughly 20,000 species of bees around the world. Most of them are solitary bees. • Bees have five eyes. Two of the eyes are large compound eyes with hexagonal facets. The

other three are small, simple eyes. • Honeybees have a move called the “waggle dance.” It is a clever way of communicating to tell them where to go to find the best sources of food. • Bees can carry up to 122 times their body weight in pollen and nectar. • Bumblebees leave footprint scents behind. They are able to distinguish between their own

ucts are recommended for vents and vent flashing. Install non-combustible material for all vents and screen with 3mm screening or firerated vents. Deck: Remove combustible debris and vegetation on, around and under decks and other attached structures is a

key factor in reducing vulnerability to ignition during a wildfire. Select fire-rated composite decking material for the deck and cover the underside of the deck with non-combustible sheathing, such as fibre cement board or metal screening. Gutters and eaves: Keep gutters and eaves clean and clear of com-

bustible debris, such as leaves, twigs and branches. Upgrade to a boxed-in or soffited eave design that is noncombustible. Upgrade gutters and downspouts to non-combustible materials, such as galvanized steel, copper or aluminum. A metal drip edge should be in place as part of the roof assembly. ED RV SE E R UN

Greenhouses anticipate busy season with the growth of urban gardening Moush John Tofield Mercury

A lot of people took to gardening during the pandemic, and for some that’s become more of a long-term vocation. With this in mind, local greenhouses are expecting a busy season. Whether you’re buying from Hastings Lake Gardens or Glen View Organic Farm and Greenhouse – two local and popular places to get your gardening essentials – it is advisable to stock up. Both these greenhouses opened on Saturday, April 30 for the season. Last year a lot of people were planting gardens in their yards, and that led to a lot of raised gardens. According to Alberta Horticultural Association, in prairie towns and cities, urban prop-

erties were sizeable, houses were modestly sized, and a significant amount of space was devoted to trees, shrubs, lawns and gardens. As a result, people had the luxury to spread out. The way that modern urban yards are sized and laid out has changed a great deal in recent years, with

houses taking up most of the space. However, with the change in space has come a revolution or a renaissance, of sorts. While people can’t fit a large, traditional garden into their yards, they do have a desire to grow things that will supplement or augment their homes and living space.

It is important for people to consider the basic requirements of the plants that they grow, to ensure that they are successful. There are many things that plants must have to grow well, bothhealthy and efficiently. On a basic level, plants need only a few, essential things. They need adequate light,

of one or all of them will result in weak or poor plant growth or potentially damage. Continued on Page 6

Gardening in limited spaces Continued from Page 5

Gardeners should evaluate each gardening idea for merit and make adjustments as required. Here’s some basic questions to ask, according to the provincial horticultural association, even if they seem basic. • Are they getting six to eight hours of good sunlight a day; • Are they either

freezing or baking or both intermittently; • Is there good drainage of water from whatever growing medium they are in; • Are they receiving sufficient nutrients to support their growth at all stages; • Do they have enough depth of growing medium to develop normally; • Are they spaced so

that they can grow normally, and that they aren’t being crowded out by their neighbours and they aren’t competing for resources. • Are you able to adjust for changes that occur as plants get older, bigger and shift from vegetative growth to fruiting. According to gardening experts, these questions should be asked each time that you con-

Early spring is time to take care of lawn and grass areas Patricia Hanbidge

Spring is wonderful as the sun rises earlier each day and the birds welcome us to the day even before the sun comes up. However, the spring weather is far from stable so we need to choose our outdoor garden chores by what the current weather is. If you have any turf or lawn areas in your landscape, then getting the lawn ready for summer is a great early spring chore. Hopefully, you did some work on your lawn in late fall as it is important to keep mowing your lawn right until freeze-up so the lawn does not go into winter too long. Lawn that is too long or has lots of leaves or other debris left on it when the snow fell will likely give you more issues for the spring

cleanup. If your turf areas are packed down, then you will need to give it a good rake to remove the debris and get the individual blades to stand up again. However, be sure to not rake it when it has not suitably dried out. This spring will likely give us a lot of snow mold issues so ensure if

you have sensitivities or allergies you do that first raking with a respirator and shower as soon as you are done! Snow mold is a funny type of fungus that thrives right around 32 F or 0 C. You may find some dead patches, so rake these patches well and fertilize with a fertilizer

containing phosphorus to encourage new rooting of the turf. Dethatching is the term given to removing some of the “thatch layer” in your lawn. The thatch is the layer of partially decayed cut blades of grass that get trapped in the turf above the soil layer. Excessively deep thatch (more than 1.5 cm)

can cause problems. A deep layer of thatch will hold moisture and entice roots to form in this layer. When dry, hot weather or

unusually cold weather occurs, these tender roots can be damaged. About one cm of thatch Continued on Page 10

Grass Continued from Page 7 is most desirable. Thatch helps to keep the crown (growing part) of the grass cool, helps to eliminate moisture loss through evaporation, protects the crown during seasonal changes and cushions the crown against wear and tear.

Thatching should only be done if necessary and if needed be done prior to the lawn tuning completely green. Please note that dethatching should only be done when necessary. Aeration is necessary when lawns become compacted. Lawns planted on heavy soil, or those receiving a lot of foot traffic tend to get

compacted. This means that only small amounts of oxygen can enter the hardened soil. When plants are deprived of oxygen in the root zone layer they do not grow at their optimum rate. Compacted soils are also very difficult to water, as runoff will occur before enough

water is applied. Aeration is only necessary for lawns that are subject to compaction. Lawns especially susceptible should be aerated annually.

Bees Continued from Page 3 into a fertile queen. • Bees flap their wings 190 to 200 times per second. They can fly up to 15 miles per hour. • Female bees can sting; males do not. Losing the stinger will cause the bee to die. The honeybee only can sting once because its stinger is barbed. Bumblebees and hornets can sting multiple times because they have smooth stingers.

• It can require nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey. • Many bees are not aggressive. Simply moving away from them can prevent a person from being stung. Generally, bumblebees and honey bees will only sting by accident or if a nest is being disrupted. • Bees tend to be covered in hair, while wasps (which include yellow jackets) are smooth. Bees are remarkable creatures and should be celebrated as the weather warms up.

Turning a hobby to a business a lot of hard work for local woman Leslie Cholowsky For Flagstaff businesswoman Jessica Zieffle, her journey from hobby to business started when she decided to crochet some Christmas gifts in December 2016. She’d taught herself to crochet, refreshing the lessons an aunt had given her as a child. “So I decided to make some dishcloths as gifts for friends and family for Christmas.” Then she threw it out on her social media, asking “Hey, anyone want one of these?” Before she knew it, she had orders for 30 more. So after Christmas, based on the success of her handmade dishcloths, Zieffle started her journey to see if there were other products she could make and sell. TJZ Creations was the business name she decided on, existing only on social media. “I would post different ideas I saw. Mostly at that time I was making custom orders.” Mid-2017 marked a real step forward when she started creating her own items, and came out that summer with the Scrubbie, her own version of a pot scrubber. It’s crocheted on one side, and has a rougher side on the other. “The final design was a process of trial and error,” she says. Once she was happy with them, she says, she mailed free

samples to customers with their orders. “They loved them!” With nothing but positive feedback, Zieffle created a website, and started to sell them. They continue to be one of her most popular products. “My dishcloth patterns have changed so much over the years, but not that. The Scrubby was my new best seller.” Zieffle attended her first market the next December. “I started out with smaller local markets.” She says her inspiration and appreciation for hand-made things comes from her mom and her grandma. She worked at a sewing store for five years in her teens, and learned how to sew herself at 12 years of age. For those first markets, she had a lot of little stuff, she says. “Dishcloths, Scrubbies, and hanging towels.” It garnered her a lot of great feedback, and more custom orders. “I used to say yes to everyone, now I am more particular about what I take on.” By 2018, Zieffle was booking tables at small and big markets year round. Besides the projects she brought to market, she still did custom work as well. “It was something to do at night when the kinds were asleep.” She says her first big markets were scary. “There’s a bigger table fee to pay; and they are busier. I didn’t want to run

Zieffle participated in the Sedgewick Flagstaff Fresh Markets in 2020. out of stuff.” You won’t see Zieffle just throwing her hand-crafted items on a table at markets, either. “I have always played with different display ideas. You need to catch someone’s eye. If they stop, you can talk to them.” In 2018, Zieffle started playing with vinyl, creating coffee mugs and cutting boards with sayings on them. “But they weren’t a huge hit.” Then she started to wonder if she was trying to do too much without any real focus. “Do I have too many products?” In 2019, she dropped the vinyl. That was also the year Zieffle started making and selling her ‘paperless towels.’

“I started to get a focus, I wanted to make re-useable home products. “I don’t like to throw too much away, so I started to try to make things to replace some single-use things we all throw out every day.” In 2019, Zieffle became involved with the Flagstaff Crafted program, offered through Flagstaff County’s Economic Development department. “It helped me out in a lot of different ways,” she says. An advantage of being part of the Flagstaff Crafted program was the support received towards taking her transactions online and really creating her business and moving it forward.

Zieffle Continued from Page 15 Through that program, Zieffle got in touch with other local makers, and was able to collaborate with another local maker. Together they put together a baby box in 2021, where Zieffle contributed her hand-made baby products. “I spent January 2022 really rebuilding and focusing on my website. It was a way to consolidate all my orders in one place. Trying to do it verbally and through social media was a bit of a mess.” Having an online store has also helped her expand her customer base, as she can ship orders anywhere. It also helps her track inventory. A couple of years back she also got her products into her first retail location, applying to local business Rural Root Collective in Killam. That’s when she first started to tag her products, too. “People love the idea of supporting local artisans, I’ve learned, and we have such a variety of makers and products available in Flagstaff County.” Zieffle now has a second retail location. Zieffle has always carefully tracked what sells, and what doesn’t. She’s dropped many of her crochet items, just as she dropped the vinyl. “I’m always looking at and evaluating my products.” She says one of the challenges when selling handcrafted items is pricing. “My time is worth something, but I don’t want to price items too high, or too low.” Tracking the time she puts into each hand-made item is partly why she moved from crocheting to sewing, she says. “I can sew faster than I can crochet.”

Once she found her focus, she was then able to continue to create handcrafted practical items, but could branch out into fun, attractive, and more modern designs. “Now I can move from a product development stage into a creative stage. That’s where my kids help out, they help me choose the fabrics sometimes, especially for items used by other kids. “I can make the products fun, fashionable, and trendy, but also environmentally smart.” From the start to today, Zieffle alone has created every product she sells. “I love to be able to say ‘everything you see here was made by me.’ “This past Christmas, 2021, was the first time I was consistently so busy I was struggling to keep up.” She attended 12 markets in seven weeks. When COVID-19 hit, Zieffle was nervous about what it would do to her business. “I thought everything was going to go catastrophically wrong - but it did not.” One big change that hit

immediately, “There were no markets.” That’s where she started to see her online sales increasing. She also saw a need to make her website more functional. Zieffle tries to stay on trend, especially with her kids items. “Sometimes it’s hard to find the designs, but I try.” She’s expanded the variety of products she offers, while still aligning with her focus. New seasonal designs are a constant for her creations. She’s also started a newsletter, because if there’s one thing she’s learned through Flagstaff Crafted is that the story matters, and people love to connect with the person who made the items they buy and use. Zieffle loves the freedom of working for herself, but adds, “It’s a lot more work than people realize, I think.” This year she’s more confident, especially with her new-found focus. “I know where I want to go.” While growing her business over the past five

years-plus, Zieffle and her husband also have a growing family, with three children aged eight, five, and four. “I really like the flexibility of being my own boss. I don’t have to work outside my home and spend money on childcare.” She’s only got one more year until her youngest starts kindergarten, and says she looks forward to

having more time to devote to her business. Looking back at how it all started, Zieffle says, “I didn’t know this was going to be a business. “But here I am, I’m making regular sales, people are using and liking my products, and now I’m getting repeat orders. “This is do-able!” Zieffle feels like she really found her focus at the

right time. “Recycling is becoming more of an issue as people become more aware of what we are using.” She’s looking forward to spring, and planting her garden at their acreage. She’s also excited about being able to attend markets again this year. “I like this lifestyle. I want to share this with other people.”

Biological controls can be part of a balanced fly control strategy Patricia Hanbidge It seems that with each year that passes, I am writing more and more on alternative strategies for controls to use with pest issues you encounter in your garden or work-related enterprise. We have made a huge disruption in the natural world with our presence, and especially where we congregate in large and dense communities, it is important to minimize our effects and maximize building back that balance in our outdoor world. Biological controls offer this option for better balance in your world. Introducing any biological control can be very effective but does not act like a pesticide solution. Let’s take an example by looking at biological control of flies. Spraying a multitude of chemical products on these flies will work for a while, but insects evolve quickly and can develop immunity to the products you are using, which in turn causes us to use more toxic products to gain the same control. A biological works differently but not as quickly as many biologicals are effective by interrupting the life cycle of the problem critter, and over time gains control of the population. My personal introduction into the beneficial world when I was an intensive livestock producer and provided an ideal environment to the many species of flies by providing livestock, bedding debris and my home landscape to aid these pesky flies in living a happy life. Always looking for a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution to this out of control fly problem. I began using parasitic wasps for fly control and over time, I had no more flies! For me and countless others who embrace this method of control we now enjoy a much more

pleasant outdoor experience – even if we do keep critters!! They are a parasitic biological control as they break the lifecycle of the fly by laying their eggs in the fly pupae. The wasps then hatch, devour the fly larvae, and mate to form a new generation. The lifespan of the wasps ranges from 16 to 28 days, depending on the species. The wasps' duties include crawling, digging, and searching. They fly to move themselves a little bit, but they're basically crawlers and are useful in horse corrals, cattle feedlots, dairies, poultry houses, swine facilities and kennels. Any type of manure producing facility or fly breeding area will be an attractive method of controlling flies. The wasps do not harm vegetation and are also used on a variety of crops and horticultural or ornamental plants. The wasps are effective against most field-type breeding flies including the typical house fly, horn fly, blow fly, black flies, cluster flies, stable fly with some control against the horse and deer fly. As with any biological control, it is important to realize that the parasitic wasps are not a cure-all. Integrated pest control includes baits, traps, residual wall sprays, and general cleanliness. It is important to develop a control program that is custom designed to your specific needs. As a result, you will not see an immediate elimination of flies from your environment after introducing the parasites. It can take anywhere from 30 days to a year or more to attain the desired control levels, depending on a number of factors. These factors include: the time of year; the number of flies present to start with; untreated breeding areas within migrating distance of

your location; weather conditions; past history; and supplemental efforts used in conjunction with parasite releasing (i.e. clean-up, insecticide use, etc.). As with any pest problem one of the first steps to solutions is identifying specific pests, study their lifecycle and then find suitable solutions.
