The Christmas season officially begins, fill those lists with local shopping Ally Anderson Killam News

Howdy, my fellow Killamites! I hope you all were able to get out to attend your local Remembrance Day ceremonies.

I was fortunate to attend the ceremony at the Killam Cenotaph. It was amazing to see so many people come out on a very cold morning to pay their respects to those who fought for our freedom.

We will not forget them.

Christmas season has finally come, and boy am I excited!

Eric and I already have our house set up to be cozy and christmassy.

Our tree is decorated, lights are all over the house along with the decorations. Even our little Christmas Village is set up. All we have left to do is the outdoor lights, which, thankfully, we will have some beautiful weather to do that with this week, and lastly we need to get our gifts.

My goal this year is to get everything almost entirely from businesses in Flagstaff County. I really want to support those in my own county and try to keep our money local, as well as spread the word to my city-slicking family about the really awesome things you can find here. Some things are unavoidable: clothing, hockey jerseys, very specific gift cards or video games. But for the most part, I think we’ll be successful shopping at home.

That is my not-so-subtle segue that we’ll be selling our annual Shop Flagstaff pages again this year, starting with next week’s paper. If you want to join other local businesses for the next four weeks to promote your specials this Christmas season, give

me a call or email. Save $10 per week if you book before Monday.

This is something we strongly believe in, and is a showcase of many awesome businesses in our region. But of course, we’re always looking for new businesses to come along and expand our shopping pages. Hammer home the importance of shopping locally by promoting locally with the newspaper!

Somebody posted something on Instagram last night that I had a good laugh at and thought I'd share about those who grumble about Christmas decorations being too early.

"Baby elephants are born weighing approximately 250 pounds, making them the world's biggest babies, right next to those who complain about others celebrating Christmas too early."

It is also a good reminder that this is the season of giving, of joy, of hope. Every year we do the Christmas Sharing tree at our offices at each of our newspaper locations, and it is something we will never cease doing as long as there is a need for it in our communities. All of the money raised will go to the Flagstaff Food Bank and to the Christmas Hamper program run by FFCS. We do not keep a cent, and all of the money goes towards helping those who need

it this upcoming Christmas.

I also saw that the Christmas tree with the senior's wishlist ornaments is up at the Co-op in town. Be on the lookout all throughout Flagstaff County for trees like this, or even the trees for gloves and scarves donations. These are other great ways to help out our communities over the holidays.

If I suddenly disappear over the next few weeks, outside of work that is, blame it on the new streaming service from Disney. I'll be holed up on the couch, wrapped like a burrito in blankets, watching my favourite movies.

Oh I have been waiting

for this day for years!

I'm so excited to have the Disney collection all at my fingertips to binge.

To my fellow Disney lovers, it is worth looking into. I promise, even with the fact that it has only been out for 24 hours at the time of printing this edition of the paper!

If you see any of these lovely people this week, be sure to wish them a happy birthday: Verna Gibb, Nov. 14; Karis Rathjen, Nov. 15; Shelly Brodie, Nov. 16; Jim VanDresar, Nov. 17.

Happy anniversary to Ray and Dianne Blaeser, who celebrate on Nov. 13.

See you around town!

Cherry misses the mark outing LETTER people for missing poppies Reader: Kudos to The ‘Press

For anyone who missed it, sportscaster/commentator/editorialist Donald S. Cherry, former AHL hockey player, and former coach of the Boston Bruins, well known for his loud suit jackets and his outspoken opinions, appeared for the last time on Roger’s Sportsnet over the weekend, after a rant aimed at those who don’t support the Royal Canadian Legion’s poppy sales went horribly wrong and ended his broadcasting career on Hockey Night in Canada (HNC).

Besides his crazy suits, Cherry is well known for his passionate respect for veterans, for servicemen, and for young people, young hockey players in particular.

Since Canadian soldiers started serving in Afghanistan, Cherry has used his time on HNC’s Coach’s Corner to honour both serving and fallen Canadian servicemen and women.

He has consistently asked Canadians to support the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign to show respect for Canadians who served our country in WWI and WWII, and especially those who lost their lives in those wars. He consistently urges viewers not to let ‘their sacrifice be in vain,’ referring to Cherry’s visits to Canadian cemeteries overseas.

Cherry has travelled to Afghanistan, he’s visited military bases there and in Canada, and he’s consistently urged Canadians to show support for Canada’s troops.

Unfortunately, on Saturday, many people feel Cherry went too far when he ranted, “You people … you love our way of life, you love our milk and honey, at least you can pay a couple bucks for a poppy or something like that,” Cherry said. “These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada, these guys paid the biggest price.”

The rant was aimed at people he saw in Toronto without poppies, some felt he was specifically pointing to immigrants as one of the groups of people he was referring to.

I think it is a classic case of his heart being in the right place and his mouth being somewhere else entirely, something that’s not surprising considering his history.

I think he’s always enjoyed being outrageous, certainly this isn’t the first time something controversial has come out of his mouth.

I personally listened to the broadcast live feeling he’d gone too far by singling out any one individual or group of individuals. But I thought I got the gist of what he was saying, though, and I agreed with that, although not the manner in which he expressed himself.

Since Cherry’s gaffe, some people immediately came up with all sorts of reasons why they don’t wear the poppy but do support Canadian troops and Canadians’ war dead. Many are outraged at Cherry’s implication that immigrants don’t wear poppies and don’t honour those who fought for the freedoms Canadians enjoy.

Some pointed out that even those who are new Canadians lost previous countrymen in WWI and WWII fighting for our freedom as our allies.

Many pointed to Remembrance Day ceremonies attended by peoples of all colours and beliefs as proof against Cherry’s controversial blurt.

In this instance, personally, I considered the source, and decided that while I can’t agree that the only way to show my respect is to buy a poppy, I do agree with the need to honour our fallen.

In last week’s paper, I quoted an Edmonton Journal article from 98 years ago, but here’s another part of it: “I have but this other thing to say, that there comes to us again in clarion tones on this Memorial Day the high challenge to live worthy of our heroic and noble dead.”

Whether or not anyone chooses to wear a poppy, it behooves all of us to remember the sacrifices made by those Canadians, and our allies in the service of freedom. We do that on Remembrance Day, and should remember them also on other important days, like Election day.

We should never forget the privilege of our freedom, for its cost was dear, but we don’t need a poppy to do it.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH:

Dear Editor; Kudos to the Staff of The Community Press! We believe it to be one of the best newspapers in ‘isolated’ rural Alberta.

You have good coverage of each of our towns and villages as well as school, agencies, programs, and local events.

We are also most appreciative of the regular comprehensive RCMP report -

sorry there is so much to report but it’s good to be aware of the high crime rate in our area as well as giving us the opportunity to appreciate the miles and happenings the members are responding to.

It must be a thankless job at times but please keep up the good work!

Dale and Sylvia Wold Alliance, Alberta

Teachers concerned for your kids, not just wages Dear Editor: Alberta currently has a worldrenowned education system which models inclusion, appropriately challenging curriculum, and supports for well-being. This is already difficult as class sizes are, on average, about six students higher than the suggested cap, and student needs are diverse and even complex, yet teachers work tirelessly to plan, assess, and care for the children of our province as they understand kids spend more time in school than at home.

All of this will grow exponentially harder to do if the UCP’s proposed changes to education are successfully passed. Privatization of our education system will only further wage and

knowledge gaps; narrowing curriculum perspective may mean dangerous ideologies prevail; and more students will fall through the cracks as fewer teachers and resources are available.

Budget cuts are already impacting school boards this way and in the middle of a mental health crisis, do we really need to limit student support?

Albertans, take some time to research these issues and take a stand if what you find concerns you.

Teachers aren’t just concerned about wages as is rampantly suggested on social media; we are concerned for YOUR kids.

Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com

On Monday evening, five tired Sedgewick-area ladies returned from a Christmas shopping weekend in Edmonton with a very full vehicle. Michelle Edey, Sheryl Culbert, Cheryl Bergman, Elaine DeBock, and Glenda Armitage were taking part in what has become an 18year tradition. Anjuli Sut-

ter joined them from Friday to Saturday, but wasn't able to stay the entire weekend. The size of the group has varied over the years from three to 13, but with the exception of one year when four of them flew off to Las Vegas together, the destination has always been Edmonton.

For many years they stayed in a hotel, but since Deborah Proctor moved to Sherwood Park a couple of years ago, she and her husband, Derek, have hosted the group. In fact, Deborah

is the only one who has participated in all 18 trips, including the one to Vegas.

That is certainly amazing.

Thank you Elaine for sharing this with us.

The Flagstaff Family and Community Services (FFCS) are getting ready for their annual Christmas Sharing program. Application forms must be handed in before Nov. 23 and the hampers will be ready for pick up by Dec. 19. That also means that FFCS is collecting items to help fill the hampers. While doing

all of this, they are also accepting donations to the "Princess and the Purse" organization. If you want to know exactly which items are needed please give FFCS a call, as they have a complete list.

Pick-ups and drop-offs will be at The Community Press archive building in town once they get fully rolling. New back steps were built for better access.

Another event put on by them is the "Be Safe, Not Sorry" self defense course on Nov. 23. You'll learn

Forestburg Flyers first place in ECSHL standings Emily Tanton Student Reporter

The East Central Senior Hockey League fit quite a few games into the weekend, with Hughenden and Forestburg playing one game each and Sedgewick playing two games.

On Friday, Nov. 8, the Hughenden Jets hosted the Consort Comets and took the game 4-2.

Consort scored the lone goal of the first period but

period two saw Hughenden get ahead with four goals, interrupted by only one Consort goal.

Matt Adams scored the first goal for the Jets, thanks to a pass from Jesse Damberger. Logan Morrison was next to score and after a Comet goal, Nick LaPorte was quick to break the tie in favour of the Jets.

With 10 seconds left in the second period, Brady Johnson made the score 42 for Hughenden, and de-

spite a hard-fought third period, no more goals were scored in the game.

The Sedgewick Sabres hosted the Delburne Outlaws on Friday, however, they were less fortunate and lost the game 4-2.

It took a while for either team to score in the first period, but with four minutes left, Delburne scored two and Clay Lang scored one for the Sabres.

The only action in period two came when

Annual turkey bingo returning to Heisler Maxine Badry Heisler P.

780-889-2113

Hi everyone, did you have a good long weekend? There was lots of snow to keep everyone busy. The weather often isn't cooperative on Remembrance Day. Hope you were able to watch the Remembrance Day Memorial for all our Veterans on TV if you weren't able to attend a service. I watched the one from Ottawa, which brought back many memories.

The weather has changed again to give us a little reprieve from the cold and snow, but still keep in mind there are icy

spots in many areas, so walk and drive carefully.

There are lots of hunters out and around our area, so keep your eyes open for the deer and moose on the move when you’re driving.

Did you see the full moon on Monday night around 6 p.m.? It was very big, with a complete wide bright circle around it. I did try to take a few pictures; they didn't turn out too bad.

Just another reminder that flu shots will be available in Heisler this Friday, so make sure you mark your calendars and plan to attend.

The Elks will once again hold their annual turkey bingo in the Heisler Community Hall Nov. 18.

The Heisler Christmas Market will be held Dec.

Birthday greetings to: Braden Martz, Nov. 12; David Curtis, Nov. 13; Gordie Zimmer, Lincoln Sommer, Nov. 17.

Anniversary greetings to: Dennis and Sharon Meyer, Nov. 14; Robert and Val Volk, Nov. 15.

Thought for the week: there is no one outside of you who can know your soul, your path, or your heart better than you. You are the guru.

You have all the wisdom, all the inner knowings inside of you; we already know in our souls everything, everything we absolutely need to know about our own paths.

Remember to advertise your events and support the paper.

Have a good week everyone.

Eckville NCHL team relocates to Lacombe NCHL Release On Nov. 8, the Eckville Eagles were granted approval by Hockey Alberta to operate as the Lacombe Senior Generals.

This did not come before the team found themselves in some hot water.

On Oct. 29, the team was sent a letter from the NCHL advising them to cease using Lacombe Generals branding until they had applied for and received approval from Hockey Alberta.

On Nov. 2, the team took to the ice versus the Devon Barons, donning Lacombe Generals jerseys and referring to themselves as such in both print and game commentary.

Consequently, the team's GM and Head Coach was suspended.

On Nov. 3, the team travelled to Bentley for a game against the Blackfalds Wranglers. On the ice, the Eckville Eagles, wearing Lacombe Generals uniforms, defeated the Wranglers 6-0.

An investigation by Hockey Alberta resulted in the discovery of an unregistered participant in the Eagles’ line-up, thus making the game a forfeit for the team.

On Nov. 4, an application for a name change was received by Hockey Alberta

to change the name of the Eckville Eagles to the Lacombe Generals, which was approved on Nov. 8.

The NCHL, Wild Rose Athletic Corp (Lacombe Generals), and all of our fans are now hopeful we can get back to the business

of hockey and put all of the management issues behind. The new Lacombe Generals have no where to go but up.

The Daysland Northstars are the lone Flagstaff team playing in the NCHL, relocating in 2015-16.

Strome Seniors hold Remembrance Day services Gloria Swain Strome Seniors

The Sod Busters Archives Museum in Strome hosted the Remembrance Day Service at the cenotaph this past Monday.

The attendance this year far surpassed other years with over 70 youth, adults, and seniors coming out to honour our war veterans as well as those in active service for our Country.

Gloria Swain emceed the event and in her opening remarks com-

mended the many youth in attendance for their support and attendance on a chilly morning.

The Wavy Lake 4-H Beef Club were in attendance in full force and together recited the poem

by John McCrae: In Flanders Fields.

Following the Last Post, the moment of silence, and Reveille, Gloria Swain prayed a Prayer of Remembrance.

This was followed by The Act of Remembrance

by Sharon Darling and The Commitment to Re-

member by Joyce Dalueg.

Wreaths were laid by: Terry Leslie for the Strome Seniors; Larry Calvert for the Strome and District Historical Society; Tanny Kellert for the Strome Community Church; and various members of the Wavy Lake 4-H Beef Club laid wreaths as well.

This was followed by a prayer of thanksgiving which concluded with everyone reciting the Lord’s Prayer together.

The Remembrance Day Service at the cenotaph concluded with the

singing of O’ Canada very ably led by Roger Toth.

A hot soup and sandwich lunch was served at the Strome Seniors Centre afterwards.

It was great to see the youth get actively involved in the kitchen duty and clean up.

The proceeds from the lunch donations amounted to $130 and

will be donated to the Killam Legion.

It was another successful event in the hamlet of Strome, and we say “hats off” to the many volunteers and service groups.

OT loss for Wheat Kings over weekend Emily Tanton Student Reporter

The Killam Wheat Kings played just one game over the weekend, facing off against the Wainwright Bisons in the Bisons home arena. It was a low-scoring game, with the Wheat Kings losing 2-1 after 38 seconds of overtime.

Killam newcomer, Brandon Zunti, scored the first goal of the game half-way through the first period on Bisons’ goalie Austin Prior, who didn’t let in another goal all game.

Period two saw the Bisons score just five seconds after a fight half-

way through the period.

The referees doled out 18 penalty minutes between the two men and it seems the fight pushed the Bisons to finally put a puck in the net.

The third period was relatively uneventful, with no goals scored and just one penalty being called for a minor stick infraction.

An intense half minute of overtime saw the Wheat Kings’ goalie Brendan Davis letting in the final goal and the game was finished with a score of 2-1 for the Bisons.

The Wheat Kings will be playing another game on the road this weekend, where they will attempt

Northstars games postponed due to bad weather Emily Tanton Student Reporter

Due to poor road conditions, Daysland’s two games over the weekend were cancelled. They would have played Westlock and Bonnyville but the bad weather halted

any chance of a game.

This weekend, if weather permits, the Daysland Northstars will be playing a game against Red Deer in Penhold. The Northstars have played this team once before and took the game 7-2.

Watershed energy ambassador on Finding Common Ground 2.0 tour Pat Reiter BRWA Energy Ambassador

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining 34 other volunteer Energy Ambassadors for the Battle River Watershed ‘Finding Common Ground 2.0’ two day tour.

Visiting eight sites in the watershed, the tour included industrial, government, business, and homeowner efforts.

Nineteen guides and speakers, plus eight student EcoVision Ambassadors presented informative and thoughtprovoking discussions about energy production and efficiency, emission and footprint reduction.

At the Paintearth Coal Mine, we learned the coal mining for power production, started in 1956, will soon complete the phase out.

Reclamation of the 6,226 hectare footprint will be completed with pea and willow planting, and biosoil amendments.

The coal is being replaced by a 10-inch natural gas line for the ATCO Power plant near Forestburg.

We trooped up 113 steps to the fifth story to see the massive former coal-burning boilers converted to natural gas.

This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by

two-thirds.

Travelling to Halkirk, we entered an actual wind turbine tower at the Capital Power site.

The 83 wind turbines, each 80 metres tall with 44 metre blades, generate enough power to support 50,000 homes (same amount as the ATCO generating station).

The 25,000 acre footprint is simultaneously used for agriculture.

A passive solar geodesic dome greenhouse with aquaponics was the highlight of the presentation by the eight student EcoVision Ambassadors, at the Lacombe Composite High School.

As part of the environmental teachings of the curriculum and extra curricular clubs, students grow food in the greenhouse, outdoor raised beds, and an indoor food tower.

The Louis Bull Solar Initiative, located at Maskwacis, provides alternative energy with solar installations on public buildings: the adult training centre, fire hall/security centre, Head Start children’s project, Maskwacis Health Services, with plans for the transfer station, daycare centre, and more.

Solar energy has saved money and maintenance

costs for the community.

It has provided career development and jobs for community members and cultural integration.

The Louis Bull Renewable School, with a full solar array and solar heating, is the next project.

Other projects being investigated are hydroelectric from the Battle River, geothermal from existing oil and gas wells, and producing ethanol from hemp.

The Nadon straw bale home in Camrose County optimizes residential energy efficiency. Site orientation, straw bale wall construction, salvaged materials, energy efficient windows, appliances, lighting, and infloor heating and entry air locks all contribute to an inviting, cozy family home.

More Battle River Watershed information and photos from the tour are available at www.Battle

R i v e r Wa t e r s h e d . c a or email: nathalie@ battleriverwatershed.ca I’ve come to the following conclusion after the 2019 Common Ground 2.0: “We all use energy. We are all part of the solution. We all have a part to play. We will all benefit from finding solutions together. We all share this watershed, this province, this planet.”

Our conclusion might agree with Aldo Leopold, dean of ecological thinking, in 1938.

“We end, I think, at what might be called the standard paradox of the 20th century, our tools are better than we are, and grow faster than we do.

“They suffice to crack the atom, to command the tides.

“But they do not suffice for the oldest task in human history: to live on a piece of land without spoiling it

Irma Chargers struggling after poor attendance to tryouts Emily Tanton Student Reporter

The Female Junior A team in Irma has struggled in the beginning of their season after not managing to find a new head coach. Their team president, Joe Holt, ended up taking over the position as head coach and has been doing his best to energize the team.

The Chargers have lost 10 out of 10 of their first league games this year, facing off against large city teams who have a much larger pool of play-

ers to draw from.

The Chargers only have a few local players from Irma, Amy Larson and Teagan Nott, and other players make the long journey from Edmonton, Lloydminster, and Wainwright for a once-a-week practice and one weekend game.

There are four other teams in the league that travel to Irma to play competitive female hockey and, despite the scores, the games are action-packed and great to watch.

The Sherwood Park Steele, Edmonton

Wolves, Fort Saskatchewan Fury, and the Central Alberta Amazons are all of the teams the Chargers are tasked with playing.

The Chargers played at home this past Sunday against the Central Alberta Amazons, going into the third period down just 3-2, they ended up losing the game 8-2.

The shots stayed relatively even throughout the game, with the Chargers actually outshooting the Amazons 29-25.

Unfortunately the puck just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bounce the

right way for the Chargers.

The Amazons scored the only two goals in the first period but Irma came back with a passion in the second with Jade Kugler and Dallas Kot tying the game at two.

Central Alberta scored another goal in the second and then caught another wind in the third, scoring another five goals to put them ahead 8-2.

The Irma Chargers will be going on the road this weekend, facing off against the Edmonton Wolves on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Strome Fire Department members honoured for long-time service Leslie Cholowsky Editor

Members of the Strome Fire Department as well as a member of the Galahad Fire Department were honoured on Thursday, Nov. 7, with provincial and federal awards for long-time service to their community.

Kim Cannady, Flagstaff Regional Emergency Services Co-ordinator, started the presentation by saying, “We wanted to recognize fire fighters and spouses who have donated your time and training time.

“You haven’t been recognized enough for all that you do.”

After dinner, Cannady was joined by Don Rosland from the Alberta Fire Commissioner’s Office in handing out awards.

Rosland served with the Camrose Fire Department for 20 years as well.

He said, “One thing I promised myself that I would do with this position was to take every opportunity to honour fellow fire fighters.”

Cannady explained the awards that were being handed out.

The first is the Alberta Emergency Services Medal, which honours emergency services personnel who are involved in emergency prevention, preparedness, and response in Alberta, and who have committed 12, 22, 32, or 40 years of service.

The second award is the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal, administered by the Chancellery of Canadian Orders and Decorations in Ottawa, given to members of a Canadian fire service with over 20 years of service, with 10 years involving duties with potential risk.

Cannady explained that nominations for the latter must be vetted by the Alberta Fire Commissioner’s Office.

“Each of the federal medals are personalized. Applications for these can

be a one- or two-year process.”

Cannady told the fire fighters, “I understand what it’s like to be a volunteer. I know what it’s like. I also know what it’s like as a spouse, because my wife is a volunteer for Emergency Services as well.”

The first award presented went to Brad Mohler; he received his Alberta medal for 12 years of service.

Brenda Hauck then received her Alberta medal for 12 years of service.

Fire Chief Jim Hauck received his 12 year Alberta Medal as well as the Exemplary Service Medal for 20 years service.

Fire fighter Don Kroetch received his 12- and 22-year Alberta medals, which is represented by a medal for the initial 12 years, and a bar to be added to the ribbon for the next 10 years, as well as the Exemplary Service Medal for 20 years of active service.

Lloyd Robbins received his Alberta 12-year award as well as a 22-year bar and 32-year bar for his 32 years with the Strome Fire Department.

Darren Wieschorster received his Alberta Emergency Services medal for 12 years, plus a 10 year bar for his total of 22 years service with the department.

Cannady said, “These next two are very special.”

He then presented Maurice Miller with his Alberta service medal for 12 years, as well as an addition two bars for two more decades of service recognition. Miller also received the Exemplary Service Medal for 20 years service, as well as a second bar for 30 years.

Bruce Zimmer received his Alberta Medal for 10 years, as well as two bars for a total of 32 years; he, too, received his Exemplary Service Medal for 20 years with a 10-year bar. Cannady said, “Bruce will actually be eligible for the Alberta 40-year medal, which we will be applying for on his behalf.”

Not present were Strome members

Strome fire fighter Maurice Miller received recognition for 32 years of service with the Strome Fire Department. He received the Alberta Emergency Services Medal for 10, 22, and 32 years as well as the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal for 20 and 30 years.

Also receiving recognition, for her 12-years of service with the Galahad Fire Department, was Cindy Borgel. From left: Alberta Fire Commissioner’s Officer rep Don Rosland, Borgel, and Flagstaff Regional Emergency Services Co-ordinator and Galahad Fire Chief Kim Cannady.

Dan Wieschorster, Cory Robbins, and Mark Pfeffer, who were also to receive recognition.

“Thank you to the fire fighters and their spouses again; thank you very much for your service, Cannady said.”

Galahad fire fighter Cindy Borgel was then honoured, she received her 12-year Alberta Emergency Services Medal.

Hauck thanked both Cannady and Rosland for the evening, saying, “As fire fighters, we don’t get much recognition, and it does mean a lot to us.

Thank you very much.”

Cannady spoke to the fire fighters about a recent event held in Hardisty for first responder families featuring Dr. Jody Carrington, and spoke frankly about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), saying, “It’s not a case of ‘are we,’ it’s a case of when will we deal with it.

“There is lots of help available to you if anyone is struggling out there. Ask myself, or Don, we will be happy to point you in the right direction so you can talk to someone who understands

the fire service.

“You can talk to us, or we can put you in touch with someone else who can help.”

Zimmer added, “I think it’s important for us as fire fighters to get together for extracurricular activities, even with other departments.

“I think going forward, especially should the regional plan happen, that should still happen, or happen more.”

Rosland added, “You are a small group, if you see someone struggling, get them help.”

He talked about seeing suicide rates rising in volunteer fire departments, something they track through the Fire Commissioner’s Office.

Rosland later said that it was great to be able to bring issues like PTSD and suicide into the open, something that wouldn’t have been said 10 or even five years ago.

Prior to the event, the Strome Fire Department did not have a formal procedure for honouring long-time members, so many of the awards were long overdue, said Cannady after the evening.

Strome fire fighter Bruce Zimmer received recognition for 32 years of service with the Strome Fire Department. He received the Alberta Emergency Services Medal for 12, 22, and 32 years as well as the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal for 20 and 30 years. Zimmer will also be receiving the 40-year Alberta medal later this year.

Every Nov. 11, I wear my English great cousin Nin's WWI black glass mourning beads in personal remembrance. I imagine her waving off her Welsh soldier beau who marched away from Shrewsburytown, never to return. He was a common man, a labourer of no renown, just one step away from the unknown soldier. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know his name. I think of him and my cousin Nin and how his death so young was awful, tragic, and unnecessary, as battlefield history reveals.

Nin Whittall lived on for many more years in a little stone house beside the church, forever a spinster.

The soldiers bravely laid down their young lives and passed into Valhalla; the wives, fiancĂŠes, and children were left behind to rebuild the world alone with no strong shoulder to lean on. Harder still was it for those who returned from the battlefield with severe mental and physical injuries, life a perpetual hell of memories and pain.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approve of the war industry, which is why I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t join the army in 1980 with my brother Tony. He saw a lot of foreign conflict as a UN Peacekeeper, as did both my brothers-in-law. When they returned, they were not the same men as when they left, they returned after cleaning up the horrific slaughter in Bosnia.

Part of the tragedy are their own children, who still live everyday with the repercussions of their dadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foreign service in the Canadian military.

Thankfully, though it is such a sober reason for gathering, the Alliance Re-

membrance Day ceremony was also a time of happy reunion. We have three main events here in the village; Remembrance Day, Santa Daze, and Canada Day. They all are very well organized and well attended. I arrived early for this event and was able to admire all the Legion membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uniforms and medals. Our new mayor, Josephine McKenzie, was regal in a long dress with her Metis sash and beaded Dene slippers, while her husband John was a stately presence in full Scottish regalia.

Roger Spady was the main speaker and though fighting off laryngitis, shared stories of great bravery and sad memories about the wars with us. He also shared heart-touching dog and cat war stories.

The ceremony ended with a very exciting Canadian Armed Forces video which would entice any young person looking for a great job and adventure.

And of course, last but

Faith: Welcoming the snow â&#x20AC;&#x153;The righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,â&#x20AC;? Romans 3:22-23 Now that the snow has come, how happy are we?

How happy are we, that the promise is, for many more months we can look forward to more snow and cold?

Granted, there are some benefits that winter brings

us - we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to kill any more mosquitoes for awhile, no weeding or grass cutting, and we will not have to say it is too hot or light to sleep!

For me, one of the best things about winter, with its cold and snow, is that it makes outside look fresh, clean, and crisp and leaves us with some beautiful scenery to behold for winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duration.

Scenery that reminds us of what God has given us

(and done for us) in Jesus Christ, as He has covered up our sin. A condition that we all have been afflicted with and something that makes us truly ugly in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sight, yet, because of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; righteousness, that ugliness has been covered up, much like the snow covers up things, so that now, because of Christ, God sees us as beautiful.

not least, I must mention the fantastic potluck served afterwards. It was but a few minutes before the row seating was whisked away and table and chairs were set to receive the diners. The serving tables were groaning under the weight of many crockpots and serving bowls filled to the brim with all sorts of interesting food.

The two dishes that caught the attention of my tastebuds were a super yummy sweet sauerkraut salad and a pavlova.

Pavlova is a desert that, though quite simple, requires the technique of a master to prepare. I have never had the privilege of tasting a real one before, though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read about them in dusty old cookbooks and hoped to taste

MEMORIAL MEMORIAL In Loving Memory of Dad and Grandpa Bill Lewis He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast.

He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few.

And most of the time his worries, Went unspoken, too.

He was there...a firm foundation, Through all our storms of life.

A sturdy hand to hold on to, In times of stress and strife.

Love Your Kids and Grandkids.

Community’s volunteers appreciated at function in Hardisty Jayden Lesmeister CP Staff Hardisty hosted a volunteer appreciation night on Friday, Nov. 1. The main event began after a supper that was, fittingly, cooked by volunteers.

The mayor of Hardisty, Doug Irving, took to the podium and one by one, listed volunteer organizations from Hardisty and what they’ve accomplished throughout the year.

First was the Hardisty Hall Board, who hosted a casino to raise funds to purchase new entrance doors for the hall.

Next was the Hardisty Curling Club, with 10 members who helped fund improvements to the rink; such as a new water system. They also received a new ice-breaking machine through collaboration with the Hardisty Golf Club.

Hardisty Elks #167, a group with 16 volunteers, made contributions to several volunteer initiatives in the community. Members of the group were recognized for 30 to 65 years of service. That is an admirable amount of time to dedicate to volunteer work.

The chief of the Hardisty Fire Department, Todd Baumgartner, then spoke.

He thanked all of the fire fighters for their service to the community and their spouses for supporting the fire fighters through thick and thin. Awards were then presented: the Fire Fighter of the Year was Cory Spencer, Rookie of the Year was Rydell Macmillan, the Sparky Award also went to Cory Spencer. The 10 Years of Service Award was given to Logan John Campbell. Spencer and Campbell both were promoted along with receiving

awards. Four junior members were recognized for their service and were given rescue knives. A special thank you was given to Karen Abel, whose years of work with the fire fighters has helped to keep them organized and effective.

Irving then returned to the podium to recognize the Parents Advisory Committee, who had 16 members in attendance. Their fundraising has gone towards providing school programs, field trips, and events for the children in the community.

The Hardisty Rodeo Association was then recognized, with 15 volunteers attending. Their work went towards a new announcer’s booth and new bleachers for their annual rodeo, which was commended for bringing lots of business to Hardisty once a year. Trevor Bitzer received a buckle for serving 15 years as treasurer.

Next was the Hardisty General Hospital Auxiliary Guild, made up of 18 volunteers. The guild was recognized for continuous upkeep of the aquarium, purchasing clothes for long-term care patients, and refurbishing a vintage incubator, among other things that enhance quality of life for the patients.

The Hardisty K Club was recognized for 30 years of volunteer work in Hardisty, and Val Smith was recognized as their longest-standing member.

The K Club raises funds for causes such as the Missoula Children’s Theatre, pickle ball equipment, and sponsoring shimmy at the arena. Their newest initiative was hosting the women’s retreat.

The Royal Purple #156 were thanked for their ice

cream socials, milestone birthday catering, funeral catering, helping with the street fair, and, like the Elks, donating to many organizations, including STARS. St. Paul’s United Church was next on the list of volunteer groups. They were recognized for visiting hospital patients, hosting singalongs, movie nights, and kids’ entertainment at the rodeo. Fae Bronson received a special thanks along with Gail Kobitzsch, their musician.

The Senior Social Club was then thanked for the work that they’ve done with their 76 members.

After a short break, Irving recognized the Hardisty Handi-Van, which drove for 6,000 km of volunteer transportation. June Crone was given special thanks.

Next were the Hardisty Lakeheads, who upgraded the ball diamonds and created a play centre. Their coaches were given special thanks.

The Hardisty Ag Society had nine of their 22 directors present. They were recognized for bringing back swimming lessons at the lake, purchasing new docks, and helping fund restoration of dressing room number five, completing the arena’s dressing rooms.

Diane Fossum was recognized for 25 years of service, while other members were recognized for 10 and five years of service.

took to the stage to thank her fellow volunteers at the Hardisty Thrift Store for their hard work. She spoke about how they were a joint effort between the United Church Women and the Christian Charities Guild. The volunteers sort donations, shovel snow, drive semis to deliver to other thrift stores, and work the thrift shop.

Around 1,800 hours of volunteer time went to support the local Food Bank, Flagstaff Victim Services, women’s shelters, local toddlers, the Parent’s Advisory Committee, Facelift, Doctors Without Borders, International Mission and Service, and support for local families.

Mazure also took the time to thank Gary and Shelly Bromby for providing the building space for their store. It so happens that the mayor was about to thank the Bromby couple for 25 years of service in

the community. They received a standing ovation and told a story about how Enbridge originally brought them into the community.

The Hardisty Library Board then took to the podium to remember BillyJo and thank their new librarian for her hard work.

They raised $2,500 through a bottle drive this year, continuously host the Building Blocks Program, with 19 children currently enrolled.

After the awards and recognition, Dr. Jody Carrington took to the stage as a guest speaker. She spoke about relationships and trauma for first responders and their spouses earlier that day and focused this speech on the importance of staying connected with one’s family, friends, and community. After her speech, people were given time to connect over drinks and music for the rest of the evening.

Accepting volunteer Fire Fighter awards for their service to the Hardisty Fire Department on Friday, Nov. 1, were: from left, Shaun Jones, Rydell Macmillan, Logan John Campbell, and Cory Spencer. Also honoured but not pictured was Karen Abel, who is not a member but who received a special thank you for her service to the Hardisty Fire Department.

Honouring Remembrance Day remains a strong priority for residents in the Flagstaff Region, where ceremonies from Bawlf to Hardisty honoured those who served and those who lost their lives in that service.

They shall not grow old, As we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them
