Daysland Legion members and veterans honoured with 75-year service pins Daysland Legion members Gordon Pennycook and Jim Gillespie recently visited two long-serving members, Bob Hanrahan and Victor Gabruck, at Providence Place to present both men with their pins and bars recognizing 75 years service with the Legion. When members achieve 50 years service they receive a Golden Anniversary Medal then every five years they receive 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 year bars to attach to the medal ribbon. Congratulations to both, and thank you for your service to our country, and to your community.

#localheroes2021 organizers hoping to see an explosion of blue Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Flagstaff Victim Services Unit will once again be hosting the #localh e r o e s 2 0 2 1 #flagstaffcounty campaign, where individuals, businesses, and entire communities are being asked to decorate with the colour blue to honour Flagstaff’s first responders. After a terrific response for the first year, in 2020, this year’s event will take place between Nov. 14 and 21. Participants are being asked to use their creativity and decorating skills to create a blue display, then to take a photo and send it to Flagstaff Victim Services. This year, all participants will be entered into a draw to receive a gift basked full of locally sourced items, but organizers will also choose the BLUEST community, and that community will have a plaque presented for a Spirit of Local Heroes award. VSU Coordinator Noreen Metz says, “This campaign is to honour all first responders and front line workers. Show them we’ve got their backs, always.” Metz travelled the county this week to deliver information and bows to every community, and she’s hoping for terrific results this year. Even if you can’t get your hands on blue lights, there are many other things you can do, like wrapping your front door in blue paper, putting blue ribbons on your trees or windows. Metz says she’s really looking forward to seeing the creativity she knows is out there, and is hoping for a record number of participants. “All front lines, we see you. Now see our blue
supporting you.” The winning entry will also be featured in The Community Press. If you post a photo of
your entry on social media, ensure that you use the hashtags #localheroes2021 and #flagstaffcounty.
