Special tribute planned for Daysland community builder Bob Hanrahan of Daysland will be the focus of a special tribute night on Oct. 26 as the Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) will be holding a Community Builders dinner in his honour. The night will feature dinner, a live auction, and speakers who will share their favourite stories and memories with Hanrahan. Hanrahan first came to Daysland in 1927, just a young boy, when his father took a job as postmaster; since then, he's lived, worked, raised a family, and given back in community he's called home. Hanrahan is now 94 years old, and says he's just always tried to follow the example his father and mother set while he was growing up of how to be a good citizen. In doing so, he has become an
outstanding example of dedicated service to his community. He served as a volunteer firefighter for 46 years with the Daysland Fire Department, and served as the chief for 19 of those years. He started the local ambulance service, and spent 20 years driving. He's also served on Daysland Town Council, and has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion in Daysland for 73 years. Hanrahan has served on the Cemetery committee, the Curling Club, the Golf Club, the Hospital Foundation, and the Seniors DropIn Society, as well as belonging to the Elks Club. He's an honoured member of the Daysland Northstars, having spent 25 years as a member, and spent another decade with the Goodtimers,
as well as coaching various teams through the years. The Northstars retired his jersey and number in 2012 in a special celebration. Hanrahan followed his father's example in other ways, he served as Daysland's Postmaster, and has worked as a funeral director for 70 years. He worked with his father at the Post Office before and after his service in the Navy during WWII, and when his father retired in 1956, took over the job. He was just a teenager working for the local undertaker who also ran a gas delivery service when a tragic accident took the lives of three local youth. Hanrahan was called to help prepare the bodies for funeral, and it was the beginning of See HANRAHAN P19

Minor hockey news returns - you can help Kerry Anderson With the help of coaches, parents, and grandparents, local hockey players from three counties in Caribou Publishing newspaper areas like this one get credit for good games, victories, points and saves each week of the hockey season. Each week I look up and record scores and scorers of dozens of local hockey teams and players, both male and female. But I need your help. If I don’t have your son or daughter’s team among those recorded, I just don’t know about them. This may mean players who are playing for other teams in larger centres or players located on teams in areas outside this county. In the Beaver County area, Lamont County area, and Flagstaff County areas, parents have been really cooperative in letting me know of particular websites where local hockey players participate in leagues which post scores semi-regularly.
Because our print deadline is Monday, I scour these sites each Sunday evening in an attempt to get the latest scores and give scorers some credit for good games they played that particular week. Believe me, this is no easy task over three different counties in both the Zone 2 and Zone 7 districts. There are dozens of teams in dozens of leagues playing in many different age and skill levels. Some leagues and teams are more prompt than others when it comes to posting game sheets. Often it is up to the home teams to get the
games into the league websites, and the parents and coaches are quite busy running around with their teams all winter long, making sure these kids get the best hockey experience possible. As well, there are some hockey players likely playing in leagues which I have no idea even exist. Before your young hockey player’s league begins this winter, please send out an email to me letting me know what website I can go on to find statistics for your local hockey player’s team. The goal is to give every hockey player - boy
or girl - in our areas credit for their achievements without missing a single child. But I need your help. If a local hockey player is being missed in the weekly minor hockey league write ups, please contact me - it will have been a complete oversight. Also because leagues and websites change, please send me an email letting me know for sure what league your child plays in. Send even if you think I probably know. You can email me at: kamcjm@gmail.com Have a great winter, let’s play hockey!

Wheat Kings win one, lose one over long weekend Emily Tanton Student Reporter A win and a loss over the weekend put the Wheat Kings in a favourable position in the North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League, already foreshadowing a successful year. A battle on Friday, Oct. 11, in St. Paul saw the Wheat Kings lose 6-4 against the Canadiens. The following day, the Wheaties were at home and had a tension-filled game against the Cold Lake Ice, eventually coming out on top 4-3. Friday was a back and forth game for the Wheat Kings, with no one able to predict which way the game would go. Ashton Kelly scored the first goal of the game early on, assisted by Ashton Cookson and Kobe Charchun. Two St. Paul goals quickly followed, with Devin Naslund getting quite a workout in net. Things were looking down for Killam when St. Paul managed to get another goal early in the second period, but Carter Ortman scored not a minute later to restore hope for Killam. The score was 3-2 for St. Paul going into the third, and Landon Eskra showed extra effort to even the score. His goal was not returned for 10 minutes, until the Canadiens scored a quick two goals to put them solidly in the lead 53. Ashton Kelly scored the last goal for the Wheat
Kings that just wasn’t enough to put them ahead, despite their best efforts. The Wheat Kings pulled their goalie with a minute left in the game, and when St. Paul received a penalty the scales tipped in Killam’s favour. It was six-on-four play for the last minute and with two seconds left, St. Paul scored an empty net goal and finished the game with a score of 6-4. Last-minute goals seemed to be the theme of the weekend, with the Wheat Kings breaking a tie the next night with just three seconds left in the game. Cold Lake was leading 21 after the first period, with their two goals being interrupted by a Braydan Davis goal. Davis went on to score again in the second, but it was quickly followed by another Cold Lake goal. Trailing 3-2, the Wheat
Kings were in need of a catalyst, which came in the form of a fight that teammate Landon Eskra initiated; afterwards the team seemed determined to win. Chase Schatschneider scored the first goal in the third thanks to passes from Chad Bonnett and Dalton Zemanek. Tied at three, the game appeared to be heading into overtime before Wheat Kings’ Ashton Kelly scored the winning goal with three seconds left on the clock. After the weekend, the Wheat Kings sit in second place in the league, behind the Wainwright Bisons. The Wheat Kings face-off against the Bisons in Killam on Friday, Oct. 18, and then travel to Lac La Biche for a game the next day. The Wheat Kings have five players on the league leaderboard as of last game, with Kobe Charchun in first place, leading with 11 points in five games.
New to the Wheat Kings this year is Kohl Forster, who got an assist Saturday in Killam’s win against Cold Lake.
Both Carter Ortman (#4) and Kobe Charchun (#20) had assists against the Ice Saturday, Oct. 12, at home. Charchun made the league leaderboard this weekend, with 11 points in five games.
Trailing 3-2, the Wheat Kings turned things around after the Ice’s Tanner Carr and the Wheaties Landon Eskra mixed things up.
Students to cast ballot in mock election Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Over 1 million students will be casting their ballots this week to cast their vote for the official candidates during a mock election. Student Vote Canada 2019 will be their largest student parallel election, and may well be the largest of its kind in the world. There are 9,500 schools registered to take part across the country, including all Flagstaff Schools. The campaign is run by
CIVIX, a non-partisan registered charity that is dedicated to strengthening democracy through citizenship education among school-aged youth. Elections Canada provides support and access to information that enables the Student Vote to succeed. It wouldn’t happen without the help and dedication of as many as 25,000 teachers, from BC to Newfoundland. “We sincerely thank the teachers who are making the time to engage their students in the demo-
cratic process with the Student Vote program. “It is a privilege for CIVIX to support their efforts,” says Taylor Gunn, the charity’s president. Besides researching and voting for candidates in their ridings, students will also take on the roles of election workers, setting up polling stations, supervising voting, and counting ballots. The Student Vote results are tabulated riding by riding, and released publicly following the close of polls on Election Day, Monday, Oct. 21.
