Duchscherer announced as principal of SCHS and OPS
Beginning in the fall of 2022, both South Central High School (SCHS) and Oyen Public School (OPS) will have a new Principal at their helm. Prairie Rose Public Schools has announced that Jason Duchscherer will assume the role as principal of both schools, following the retirement of Jean Kimber, principal at SCHS, at the end of the current school year.
“Combining the leadership roles allows the two schools in Oyen to continue forward on the path towards a future of one amazing K-12 school,” Duchscherer said. “Both OPS and SCHS have already made steps to connect and build programming that enables a smooth transition for students as they move from elementary to junior high and on to high school, so this further supports that work.”
The move towards a unified school community is something both OPS and SCHS have been working towards for the past few years.
Following a community consultation in 2019, the Board of Trustees added a new K-12 school in Oyen to the Prairie Rose Public Schools Capital Plan. Last spring, both schools collaborated on their school rebranding projects and established a single vision statement of developing confident, engaged and caring citizens. Both schools have also focused on building opportunities where students are learning alongside each other through programming such as the South Alberta Hockey Academy and the Badlands Junior Badgers program.
Superintendent Weeks expressed gratitude to Jean Kimber on her retirement. “I would like
to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Jean Kimber, who has contributed tremendously to the education of countless students and wish her well in her next adventures.”
She continued to express confidence in Jason Duchscherer assuming his new role as principal. “Jason Duchscherer takes on this newly structured role with a breadth of experience and a passion for rural education. We have other schools in the division that operate under a similar model and it has worked very successfully in building a community of one school, despite being in different buildings.”
Duchscherer will officially assume the role of principal of both OPS and SCHS at the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

Mexico was the theme this week at the Lodge
What a beautiful way to start May, with a bright and shining sun. We can’t wait for the warm weather so we can start our gardens!
Mexico was the theme this week at the lodge!
We started off our Monday with a game of Mexican Train Dominos and finishing off the afternoon with a quick arm chair travel to Mexico where we got to do a guided tour throughout the country followed by some short videos of Mexican dancing!
Tuesday was all about Piñatas, lots of paper mache. We had to use all day to make them so that they would be ready for our party on Thursday!
On Wednesday, our morning began with flower crown making, and treating our taste buds to a special treat of pie taquitos. In the afternoon we celebrated our special birthdays of the month with some cake and ice cream!
On Thursday we celebrated our Cinco de Mayo party with decorations, a Mexican feast for dinner and piñata
smashing! Our residents dressed in all white, red or green to represent the Mexican flag!
On Friday we finished off our week with a Friday night movie night and some bingo.
We sure had fun exploring Mexico and all the culture the country has to offer!
We hope everyone else had a wonderful week.

Earth Day town-wide cleanup in Acadia Valley.
The husband said, “My wife thinks I don’t give her enough privacy. At least that’s what she said in her diary.”
While everyone wants their privacy to be respected, it’s becoming increasingly difficult. This week I’ve heard similar concerns expressed about digital identification, but from two different perspectives. Which, in turn, inspired me to bring it to your attention.
MP Leslyn Lewis noted that Canada is one of the first countries, along with the Netherlands, to sign on to the World Economic Forum’s pilot project to introduce a Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI). Other partners include Air Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport, and Toronto’s Pearson Airport.
CHECK IT OUT with Joan Janzen
Do you value your privacy?
The idea is that world travellers can increase “global” trust as they travel around the world. She notes, that although it sounds good, building up trust points through your activities is literally a credit score. By signing on to such an ID, we would be allowing a global body to determine what meets the requirement for an “acceptable” or “safe” traveller.
It could begin with a travel ID, but the WEF has suggested that this could be expanded to include one’s digital currency, banking information, carbon footprint, health records and driver’s license. Journalist, Anthony Furey suggested, although digital IDs may appear convenient and innocent, Canadians need to think long and hard before accepting them, as privacy boundaries begin to erode.
The second perspective on this topic was presented by a researcher at the University of Cincinnati and recent US immigrant by the name of Pei Li. He said he fled the People’s Republic of China and came to the west in search of
freedom.
“But now I’m seeing troubling signs that remind me of what I left behind,” he said. “The loss of freedom doesn’t happen overnight. The social credit system in China has been decades in the making. It was OK at first; these things always are.”
In the 1990’s Chinese banks developed a financial bank rating system to increase lending in rural areas. It sounded convenient, but government officials soon realized similar programs could be set up to gather other information about the behaviour of citizens. By 2014, new technology allowed the government to monitor what people said, read and searched on the Internet.
“More data equals more control,” Li said. He witnessed the central government issue pilot programs in 43 cities across the country. Local officials labelled certain behaviours as acceptable and others as unacceptable. Citizens gained or lost points depending on whether their public and private behaviour conformed to government
standards. If someone lost too many points, they would also lose privileges such as loss of Internet, bank loans and plane tickets.
Grumbling about state policy and discussing religion were unacceptable behaviours. “It’s assumed that this system will be mandated for all citizens,” Li said. Some Chinese citizens think the system promotes good behaviour, addressing everything from crime, bad driving, and financial delinquency, but the system doesn’t stop there.
“Chinese authorities have drawn up massive blacklists for those deemed unacceptable,” Li said. Ac-
cording to The Guardian in England, 23 million names are on the blacklist.
A journalist named Liu Hu published articles exposing government corruption and censorship. The system banned him from flying, travelling by train, taking out loans and buying property without any due process. Many people have been sent to re-education camps for unacceptable behaviour.
Leslyn Lewis said concerns expressed in Canada are often dismissed as “conspiracy”. However Li said “Everything we see in China, we are starting to see here in the west.”
He went on to list mandates preventing Canadians from flying within and outside of their country, the freezing of bank accounts, disfavouring businesses like oil companies, and parents being criticized for objecting to what’s being taught in public schools.
Li is speaking as someone who fled from government control, and Leslyn Lewis is speaking as a lawyer with a PhD in International Law.
“The social credit system is the future of the People’s Republic of China,” Li said. “We must be vigilant. We don’t want it to be the future of our countries in the west.”

Davidson joins Premier Hockey Federation
The following information was taken from an article in the Canadian Press, dated May 4, 2022, and from a Premier Hockey Federation news release.
The folks from Oyen and area will be pleased to hear that their very own, Melody Davidson has joined the new Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) as director of league and hockey operations. She is well equipped for the task, having coached Canada to Olympic women’s hockey titles in 2006 and 2010, as well as directing the squad to gold in 2014. In total, she’s coached Canada to five women’s world titles. Her career at Hockey Canada has spanned 26 years.
Her previous roles with Team Canada included head coach, assistant coach, general manager, and head scout across 36 different events. She’s also won five IIHF Women’s World Championship gold medals and 10 gold medals at the 4 Nations Cup.
Davidson’s career is extensive and impressive. The Oyen native earned degrees from Red Deer College and the University of Alberta, and has coached women’s hockey programs at Connecticut College and Cornell University.
She was inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame in 2011, and again in 2019. She was inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 2008, and the Alberta Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017.
In response to her new position, Davidson said, “This is an exciting time for women’s hockey with more
growth potential and opportunities for athletes than ever before.”
She continued to say she looks forward to helping advance the game forward for elite athletes who want and deserve to continue developing and competing at the highest professional level.
The Premier Hockey Federation, formerly the National Women’s Hockey League, is a women’s professional hockey league located in Canada and the United States. It was founded in 2015 to provide strong role models and fuel the growth of the game.
In January, 2022, the PHF’s board of governors announced their intent to invest over $25 million in direct player enhancements over the next three years. This will provide competitive compensation and benefits that will continue to distinguish the PHF as a leader among professional sports leagues. Davidson will be instrumental in this endeavour.
The new commissioner for PHF, Reagan Carey, said in a state-
ment, “There is not a single person who has done more for the global growth of women’s hockey than Mel Davidson, and it is a true privilege to welcome her to a new leadership role at the PHF. She has become legendary for her ability to create winning programs at the Olympic and national team level, but her dedication to mentoring and coaching others is simply remarkable and unrivalled. Mel reflects the integrity, experience, and success we value in the PHF, and her influence will surely raise the bar for our league in all facets.”
Davidson will also work along side PHF senior vice-president of hockey operations, Lisa Haley. Haley was Canada’s assistant coach in 2014 when Davidson managed the team, and spoke highly of Davidson.
“Mel has been a mentor of mine from the very beginning of my professional career and I was fortunate to work with her throughout each of my experiences with
the Canadian national women’s team and at various IIHF high-performance camps,” she said.
“I am so pleased to get another opportunity to work with her at the PHF. Mel will play an integral role as the PHF continues its vision of growing and sustaining professional women’s hockey across North America.”
In addition to her new position, Davidson will continue as high-performance adviser for summer sport with Own The Podium, a role she’s held for two years. She’s also a consultant for the Winnipeg ICE and has been a prominent voice on the IIHF Female Committee since 2010. Davidson was also an honorary coach at the PHF’s allstar game in Buffalo in January, 2022.
People who know Davidson, have called her the face of Canadian Women’s hockey development, noting that most of the Olympians today came through her work.

A Letter from Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
