Killam begins new tradition with Down Home Country Christmas

By MICHELLE MOLYNEUX

The Killam Chamber of Commerce proved that small town Alberta has everything to offer.

They sponsored the first ever Down Home Country Christmas over the

weekend to encourage Christmas shoppers to open their wallets locally and have some old fashioned fun along the way.

The schedule of events included Festival of Trees, a parade, Mr. and

Mrs. Claus, a roast beef supper, trade show, carolling, late night shopping, wagon ride, tea and bake sale, medieval feast, draws and open houses.

The Festival of Trees featured local

businesses and organizations decorating a Christmas tree in their own unique style. Trees were located in the “old hardware store” on mainstreet and could be viewed with a donation to the Christmas Sharing Program.

The promotion was to get people into the festive spirit and have some fun. In all there were 13 trees entered and over 250 people filed through to have a look.

Christmas Promotion Committee member Dan Fee was happy with the Festival of Trees as well as the events overall.

“We never know what to expect the first time. It’s intimidating to people who have never done it before but there’s been nothing but positive feedback. Someone said it looks like Killam has a new tradition.”

Unofficially the favourite tree was decorated by the Killam Pentecostal Tabernacle Sunday School. Each class made a particular type of ornament.

“They made it into a project. It was a concerted effort that got the kids involved.”

The Christmas Light Up Parade featured 10 entries decked out in colourful lights in the theme of the upcoming festive season.

The Chamber expects more entries next year as everyone got their feet wet learning how to light up a parade float. The mild weather was great for spectators. Young ones were abundant and parade watchers were able to stand on sidewalks to watch rather than sit in their cars.

The mild temperatures made an outdoor skating rink impossible but Mr. and Mrs. Claus made their rounds around town without the ice skates.

The United Church roast beef supper was busy as usual and well attended. Quite a few people joined in with the carollers, wagon ride (by one grandmother’s account the best wagon ride ever), bonfires and the Presbyterian Church tea and bake sale.

The home-based business Trade Show on Saturday at the Killam Agriplex offered those who don’t have a store front to show their wares and talents, proving even further how much Killam has to offer.

People were taking advantage of extended business hours even if it was just to get out and socialize.

Many people got into costume in Medieval spirit for the Killam Community Hall Association and Killam Volunteer Fire Department’s first in their concert series , Shadow of the Sword. Future concerts will be held Jan. 22, Feb. 12 and March 12.

Alliance Legion has very special and hard working member

Irven Platz co-founded Alliance branch and instructed

By MICHELLE MOLYNEUX

The Village of Alliance has a very special person to pay tribute to on Remembrance Day and even more special to the Royal Canadian Legion Alliance Branch No. 94.

Lifetime Member Irven Platz, has moved to Stettler now but his legacy to the Alliance Legion and to his hometown of Alliance remains.

Legion secretary Doris Spady says that Platz saw to it that the Alliance Legion stuck together.

He was born at Alliance in 1916. In June of 1938 he joined the Army (14th Calgary Regiment) and 'went active' in 1940.

Overseas he saw action in Continental Europe in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. After the war he returned and was discharged in 1946.

While in the service, he became a qualified electrician (writing an exam in Zeist, Holland). Also, while in the Army, he took another course and later apprenticed under Dick Kiefer in Alliance as a projectionist.

In March of 1949 a Cadet Union was organized in Alliance of which Irven Platz was instructor, continuing to lead the Cadets until they disbanded in 1962. He, along with his family, spent many summers in Vernon, B.C. with a group of Cadets at summer camps held there.

In July 1950, three of the four cadets who attended the Provincial Cadet Rifle Shooting matches from Alliance, were picked from among the eight best in Alberta to participate in the Dominion Cadet Rifle shoot at Ottawa.

In 1952 the Alliance Cadet Corps won the King's Own Calgary Regiment competitions which gave them the Calgary

Tank Cup Trophy and 10 silver spoons with the KOCR crest.

In 1953 the Alliance Cadet Corps were judged to be the best Cadet Corps in the Province of Alberta and were presented with a trophy on March 26th in a ceremony and program.

During the years the Cadet Corps was active in Alliance, 350 Cadets and Kadets (girls) joined up, under the leadership of Irven Platz.

In May 2003, Platz was awarded with the highest award that a Legion member could possibly receive. He became a

recipient of the Meritorious Service Medal for his outstanding service to the Legion and the community.

In addition to the Legion awards Platz has been recognized with, he has also received from the Government of the Netherlands the "Thank You Canada Medal" for service in Holland during World War II.

One day during 1944, Alberta Walker and Irven Platz decided that the town and community of Alliance could support their own Royal Canadian Legion. And so it was that Alliance Legion #94

cadets and kadets

was born. Platz carried out the duties and responsibilities of President from 1944 through to 1983, 1987-88 and from 1993 to present date.

For 50 years, he was charged with the Office of Service Officer and Sergeant at Arms.

In 1977, he became Parade Marshall for the Alliance Legion and organized a Colour Party.

Every Nov. 11, the members of Alliance Legion parade to the Community Hall under the direction of Platz. He takes the memorial service very seriously, arranging the program, the laying of wreaths, special music and speaker.

In 1973, the Branch undertook the care of the local cemetery. Platz was very influential in providing a facility for the burial of cremated remains. A columbarium was built in 1980. He has maintained records and deposited plaques since then. He took on responsibility of supervising hired help to maintain and beautify not only the cemetery, but also the Memorial Park and Cenotaph.

Seeing the need to repair and maintain the Cemetery, he pushed to set up a Memorial fund, Columbarium fund and Cemetery fund.

Every year, Platz had been a representation from the Legion to visit the Alliance School and teach the children the meaning of Remembrance Day and promoted participation by the students in the essay/poem or poster contest. He has distributed poppies to neighbouring towns and businesses then collects, counts and rolls coins ready for deposit.

Long-time NDPsupporter enters race

By MICHELLE MOLYNEUX

Len Legault is offering a right wing opposition alternative in the Battle River-Wainwright Constituency with the New Democratic Party.

He has a long history with the NDPs having run in the federal election in June, running for nomination in Saskatchewan in 1988 and working with the party for many years.

He has been working on his small farm north of Provost since being injured at his oilfield construction company in May of 2003. He has been a member of the Iron Workers Edmonton Local 720 for 30 years.

He is looking forward to getting back to work starting with the current NDP campaign.

"Healthcare is always our number one issue and the province's when you talk to people.

"Also BSE. Not necessarily opening the border but looking at creating our own market."

He blames free trade for setting the events that followed the closing of the border.

The NDP's plan for healthcare includes action on waiting lists, hiring 2,000 more healthcare providers, and innovative strategies to save the system money.

Specifically, the NDPwill: provide stable, predictable three-year funding for Regional Health Authorities; lower wait lists; set firm targets and streamline procedures to ensure Albertans get

care faster; hire 2,000 health providers, expand ambulance services and rural access to care; get serious about saving the system money; create communitybased primary health centres and expand home care.

Legault is going door to door a little bit but is disappointed that there are no debates organized for the constituency.

Joining Legault's campaign is Jim Kenney who ran with the Green Party in June's federal election.

"We are the only true opposition in Alberta," said Legault. "The Liberals are just cheerleaders for the Conservatives. We're the voice against the status leader."

In his early 40s, Legault has one six-

Opinion

A cost ofa life is worth one hour ofyour day

“The Belgian Government is already preparing its first newspaper to be published in Belgium immediately after any part of the country is liberated.”

Got your attention? Can you imagine living in a reality where this is what you read in your community newspaper?

Well it is a reality. This excerpt is from The Community Press dated June 8th, 1944.

“The title is to be La Belgique Liberee (Belgium Liberated). It will follow up the armies as they advance. As soon as conditions permit ordinary newspapers to appear normally, the official publication will be withdrawn. Editor and staff, already chosen, will go over from London.

“Meanwhile the Frankfurter Zeltung, famous German Liberal newspaper suppressed by Hitler’s orders last year has reappeared - clandestinely. It is believed to be the first real “underground” newspaper to appear in Germany.”

We take for granted simple liberties such as free press.

On the front of the same archived newspaper, in large letters across the top, “EUROPE INVADED - The long-awaited invasion of Hitler’s European fortress has taken place. Allied troops swarmed ashore Monday night June 5th, under heavy protecting air and naval fire. Paratroops landed behind enemy lines.”

Many young men lost their lives that night. Many mothers lost sons, siblings lost brothers and women lost husbands.

Say thank you this Thursday and show your respect as everyone across the country recognizes Remembrance Day.

Sedgewick has special military history

Dear

Editor

This is probably more of an article than it is an editorial, but I hope you find it has interesting as I do. Many readers of your newspaper may not be aware of this; in fact I would be surprised if any were.

In 1920, or very early 1921 Sedgewick, Alberta became the headquarters of Company “B”, Second Battalion of the “Alberta Regiment”. This regiment was formed as a unit of the Non-Permanent Active Militia after the First World War, in the hopes of being able to perpetuate as many of the active service battalions which distinguished themselves so admirably in the Great War; in this case, the 31st “Alberta” Battalion.

There were two “N.P.A.M” battalions forming the “Alberta” Regiment. The First Battalion was headquartered in Ponoka, Alberta and was known as the “North Alberta Regiment”. This militia battalion survived until 1936, when it was disbanded, as were most other militia and cadet organizations in Canada, because of a very strong anti-war sentiment in Canada created because of the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany, and the recent and horribly painful memory of the losses of the First World War. This was the time when Major McGee, Sedgewick’s Cadet

leader described the people of Canada as “having gone soft in the head, rather than in the heart.”

Long before that, however, in 1921, the Second Battalion, Alberta Regiment was headquartered in Sedgewick, Alberta, with Company Ain Camrose, Company B in Sedgewick, Company C in Provost and Company D in Alliance, Alberta. The men who formed this battalion were primarily veterans of the Great War, a majority of those being farmers and homesteaders in the area.

There were fairly rigid training and disciplinary requirements for membership in these units and initially the N.P.A.M. did quite well. There were two week war games maneuvers and training camp in various places including Sylvan Lake where the members would be paid to attend. This, of course, was a popular time for the members of these units.

However, as a few years passed, the demands of the farm began to prevent many members from being able to fulfill their commitments to the unit and membership began to decline, resulting in the headquarters being moved south to either Medicine Hat or Calgary, the record is unclear. The Second Battalion, Alberta Regiment became by

1936, the South Alberta Regiment of which Maj. David Vivian Currie was a member. Major Currie received the Victoria Cross for actions in St. Lambert sur dives in the Falaise Pocket in Normandy, France in 1944, where he, commanding a very small recce unit was able to persuade a vastly superior German force to surrender. He also was able to hold the pocket shut preventing thousands of German troops and vehicles from escaping the Allied encirclement of the German armies in Normandy. This process enabled the Allies to liberate Paris.

The South Alberta Regiment was finally disbanded in 1953.

Today the South Alberta Light Horse remains as a cadet unit with an active group in Camrose. I understand that they are involved in the restoration of Maj. Currie’s half-track which he used at St. Lambert with plans to have it in the Alberta

Centennial Parade in Edmonton, next year. Back to 1921-22. I have often seen pictures of fully outfitted, uniformed and armed soldiers on parade or at dedications during this time frame. The captions to these photos usually read “The Great War Veterans on Parade”. I was always puzzled about why these veterans were so completely outfitted, including armed. Look in the Sedgewick and Lougheed history books. You will see what I mean, especially pictures regarding the dedication of the Sedgewick cenotaph in 1922, and a parade in Lougheed in their “Verdant Valleys” book. Yes, many of these men were, in fact, Great War veterans, but they were also members of B company, Second Battalion, the Alberta Regiment, headquartered at Sedgewick, Alberta.

In May, 1904 some 30 business men walked or drove in from Wetaskiwin and filed on homesteads, around Section 9-45-16-w4. They were members of the Daysland Trading Co., the Board of Trade and the Retail Merchants organized to erect a town. The town site of Daysland was registered, on September 19, 1905, the same month and year Alberta became a province. To be continued.

Lougheed and District Lions raise money for FlagstaffFood Bank

on Rosie Sheen as she was baptized and confirmed into the Christian faith at St. Andrew's United Church a couple of weeks ago.

Camrose Fiddlers, sponsored by Lougheed and District Lions Club, came on Sunday afternoon and entertained a large crowd at the Community Hall. They were accompanied by guest stars, Brianna and Kari Bergerud playing fiddles and Mark Perkins at the keyboard. The Bergerud sisters and Mark all hail from Wainwright.

Seven hundred and ten dollars was raised for the Flagstaff Food Bank. Everyone who came had also been asked to bring a donation of imperishable food, which netted the food bank a huge box of food. Open-faced buns, tea and coffee were served following the musical presentation. I saw old friends from dorm daze in Sedgewick, and met a lot of new friends. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Congratulations and a wish for God's richest blessings to be bestowed

Sympathy to Garry and Dolores Acres and family in the recent death of Dolores's mom, Roberta Riddoch. Condolences also go out to Roberta's brother and sister-law, Ralph and Ann Smith and their family and to all others who mourn Roberta's death. Lindsay Smith (Gary and Karen's daughter) sang a beautiful song, and many other tributes were paid to Roberta. She will be missed.

This is another week when it is our sad duty to report many deaths. Heather Arnold of Edmonton died on Nov. 5 after a long illness. Heather was raised in the Bellshill area south of Lougheed. She leaves to mourn, her husband Ken, two children, Susan (Roger) and David (Fiona), two grandchildren, Scott and Brett, her mother Chrissie Armstrong, her brother Keith (Joy), sisters, Pat Kroetsch, Sheila (Alvin) Miller, Sharon (Albin), and Valerie (Danny) Adamson, as well as many nieces and

nephews. Amemorial service will be held on Nov. 13 at 1 p.m. at Appel Funeral Home/Central Memorial Chapel. Inurnment will take place at a later date at Lougheed Cemetery. Our deepest sympathy goes out to all who mourn Heather's death.

Our condolences are with Cliff Bawden of Sedgewick and his family in the death of his wife, Ann. Ann was such a caring and gracious lady and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

We are sorry to report the death of Pastor Sid Christopherson at Salmon Arm, BC recently.

Pastor Sid along with his wife, Nina, was pastor in the Sedgewick Lutheran Parish from 1964 to 1968. He was dearly loved by his parishioners.

You all know by now how very proud we are of our great-nieces and nephews and jump at every opportunity to claim them as ours. This is a huge tip of the Mexican sombrero to Scott Snethun on receiving a Certificate of Commendation from the Canadian Government for the bravery he displayed in his part in saving one of his friends from drowning while he

was on the mission to Mexico two years ago. Way to go, Scott. You can bet your bottom dollar that all your Lougheed relatives are as proud of you as your Aunt Donna and Uncle Andy are!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Teddy Ashmead who has been a patient in Killam Hospital. I saw her on Sunday when she was out for a few hours leave and she looks like she needs more of Killam Hospital's TLC.

Get well wishes also go to Glenda Cameron who has been laid up with a very bad back. Hope you have better days ahead real soon, Glenda.

Four tables full of whist players, plus one, met at the Welcome Centre last Thursday for an evening of fun. Ruth Erikssen took home ladies high, mystery went to Shirley Simpson, low went to Thora Johnson, and travelling prize was won by Mary Stephanic. Men's high was won by Wilfred Pyke. Mr. Chriss won the mystery, Gaye Bakken took home low and Art Black won men's mystery. Next whist drive in Lougheed will take place November 18th.

This week we pay tribute to all those brave men

and women who have fought in wars that we might have freedom, many of them giving their lives and the rest of them living with memories of war etched forever in their minds. I'm closing this week with a favorite poem I have stored in my memory bank. This is it as I remember it. In Flanders Fields the poppies grow, between the crosses row on row that mark our place. And in the sky, the

larks, still bravely singing fly, scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, loved and were loved. And now we lie in Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. If you break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow, in Flanders Fields.

With each new election there are new promises and priorities. Yet we’re still waiting for much-needed improvements in our children’s classrooms.

The large number of students in my daughter’s class makes it impossible for her to receive the kind of individual attention she needs. Parents in other neighbourhoods are still waiting for community schools to be built or renovated. Meanwhile, some schools continue to struggle without librarians, counsellors or other essential supports.

If you are like me and my family, and are still waiting to see real improvements in classroom conditions, let your candidates know. Ask them what they’re going to do to win your trust – and your vote.

Over 800 students attend Career Fair hosted by AUC

Battle River School Division, Youth Connections and Augustana University College teamed up to provide Grade 11 and 12 students across the school division with a career day opportunity. Hosted by AUC during a special off-campus day on Oct. 15, Battle River students were bused to the university where they attended

career fair sessions of their choice.

"We provided a broad range of sessions for the students," said Battle River School Division director of curriculum and event co-organizer Jim Rubuliak. "They had their choice of attending 45-minute presentations by community volunteers in the areas of health, jus-

tice, trades, finance and a host of other employment fields."

Students were also given the opportunity to access the university's professors and discuss post-secondary options. The gymnasium provided a venue for 19 postsecondary insti-tutions from across Alberta to promote their respective

programs, in addition to recruiting organizations like the RCMP.

In total, over 800 students made their way onto the faculty extension of the University of Alberta campus.

"We had over 50 local business, professional and trades people, many from the Camrose Rotary Club, provide informa-

tion and practical suggestions about their own careers.

"Our expectation was that students would come away with some ideas about their choice of career options and what post-secondary institutions could serve their career choice needs."

Rubuliak called the list of presenters "stellar" and

the hospitality of the university exceptional.

"Augustana was a most gracious host and their students were extremely helpful in directing our students around the campus. I think both of our organizations, along with Youth Connections, benefited from the opportunity to partner on this initiative."

Hardisty folks at Czar Quilt Show

Hey ! What's up with this skiff of snow that's happening today? It's okay, but I was hoping the ice in my eaves troughs would all be melted. It kind of got away from me last time and I had a bit of a mess.

On Saturday, Jennifer Broughton, Eva McLaren, Pat McPherson and I took in the wonderful quilt show at the Czar Hall. There were a lot of other Hardisty folks there too, and of course I had a great visit with some good friends from the Czar area that I don't see nearly enough of. I can tell you, whoever planned that show and especially set up the displays needs to be commended. It was beautiful, and I kept thinking that I wish I'd had some of your flair for interior design when I had Double Dimensions.

Congratulations to Darcy Broughton and Randy McGowan on being the new owners of the Miguel Vallarta

Resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I can think of worse places to spend the winter. Anyway, if you go there, I'm sure the guys would be happy to see you if you look them up, or maybe even stay a night or few.

I've been spending a lot of time at the Hardisty Hospital with my Mom lately and have seen a few of our friends in there that could use a prayer or two. Namely, Anna Saruga, Gail Ruud, Bernice Tillmar, Buffy Devey and anyone else who's feeling under the weather.

The cover sketch has now been chosen, and it was decided to use Karen Carsons' concept on the cover, while others were chosen for various places within the book to best display their talents.

The history book committee would like to thank all those students and adults who submitted sketches, and also to Darlene Pederson for her sketch of the Rosyth, Amisk, and Hughenden elevators which was used on posters and newspaper ads. What a creative community. If you need to clarify anything you can call 856-2164.

Congratulations to Corey and Ginger Bitzer who will be celebrating their anniversary this week.

Incidentally, when I was at the quilt show in Czar there were at least 20 ladies there with red hats and purple dresses,

who were representing the Red Hat Society for Czar -Hughenden and also the Wainwright Chapter. Darn, that looks like fun. If anyone wants to find out more about it, they have a website at www.redhatsociety.com This thing is worldwide now, and Hardisty should really keep up and not let everyone else have all the fun. Give me a call and let's do it ! I understand it doesn't cost a thing but a lot of laughs. Daysland has just started a Chapter a couple weeks ago and the only stipulation for membership is that you have to be 50 years of age or close to it. The ladies under 50 get to wear pink.

I had a surprise visit on the weekend from my daughter Darci and Ken Holmes and son, Colton, from Dutchess. It was sure good to see them.

Phyllis Alderdice is leaving this week-end for a holiday in Mazatlan with her sister Lorna Alderdice from Wetaskiwin. I hope you girls have a really nice vacation. Mazatlan is such a beautiful place.

I've discovered Victorias' Secret : Nobody under 30 can fit into their stuff. HMMM

War is a time so sad, Children lose their moms and dads, Airplanes flying-killing dying, We remember.

Running, hiding, seeking, spying, Wives worrying, Children crying, We remember.

Good-byes seem like not the last, Years go by not so fast, All we can do is hope and pray, They will be home someday, We remember.

Men and women of every colour and race, People gone without a trace,

War is not a time of fun, It’s just filled with bombs and guns, We remember.

We will not forget the men who fought so hard, and bad, And remember their gone comrades, We know of all the terrible violence, And that’s why we have a minute of silence, We remember.

Czar Quilt Show gets warm receiving

MICHELLE MOLYNEUX

The Czar Quilter's Guild began with a longtime dream of the Guild's president Carol Penman.

In April 2001, the first meeting was held at Czar Lutheran Church with 21 ladies and by the end of the year there were 30 members. Now that number has grown to 62 members, trips, special guests, a newsletter, website, on-

line library, equipment, special events and their annual quilt show which was held Friday and Saturday.

All ages strolled through the Czar Community Hall, looking through displays, quilts and free demonstrations put on by guild members. When these women get together, fun comes before even a stitch is made. Ahistory book tells

their story of trips, sleepovers, potlucks, projects, and the list goes on. Biographies have also been compiled on each member in their Member's Profile Book.

A quilt guild isn't just about quilts, on display were also vests, bags table runners and wall hangings.

Their handiwork may only be surpassed by their creative displays

and people were taking notice of both, some were taking pictures and many were making mental notes.

Displays included themes of Christmas, fall, winter and heirlooms.

Quilts can tell a story. In one corner Carole (Delange) Cameron had on display one her greatgreat grandmother made in 1927, and the maker was 84-years-old at the time.

Member Marjorie Martin brought out two

special quilts. One which was made for a friend's 50th wedding anniversary and another for a 50th birthday. Both were made up with pictures and signatures of loved ones.

Quilts tell us about their makers with every thread and can be summed up as follows: Quilts are a continuing chain of history I hope this quilt continues to be treasured by future generations.

Dishes washed become dirty Food cooked is consumed A quilt endures. The show included draws and refreshments. The guild meets twice a month from September to June at the Czar Hall thanks to help from the Czar Ag Society. If you missed the show you can see some of the awesome work at www.czarquilters.org. There are also some great links for quilters.

Par ent/teacher interviews in Sedgewick

This week we will be celebrating our national day of remembrance. I hope you will find a way to honour those who served and those who died in service to our country. Our local Remembrance Day service will be held in the Community Hall on Thursday, beginning at 10:30. After the service at the cenotaph, the Legion welcomes the community to join them at the Legion Hall for coffee and fellowship.

On Thursday morning, there will be posters and essays displayed along the walls of the Community Hall. I'd like to salute the youngsters who participated this year, producing their outstanding tributes. Thank you to the teachers and parents who work hard to encourage participation, those who labor to read, appreciate and choose winners for the various categories, and the people who put all those entries up for us to see, read and appreciate then take them down afterwards. This is part of the act of remembrance in teaching our youth the value of honour, service, and valor; teaching our children the story. Bring your children to the service on Thursday; lest we forget.

Warm congratulations to Jason and Amanda Patten, who welcomed their first little angel to the world on October 14th. They have named their little boy Hudson. Check with that proud grandma, Jeanette, at the drugstore and see if she has some pictures of her new family member.

It was good to see the smiling faces of Wayne and Edith Lunty home again after another of their fun jaunts to other places. They just returned on Saturday, but Edith has promised to gather her notes and tell us all about this trip for next week's press.

Memorial services were held on Monday for Ann Bawden, who passed away last Thursday. We extend deepest sympathies to all those family and friends who mourn. Our heartfelt prayers and sympathies are also extended to the family of

Heather (Armstrong)

Arnold who lost her final battle with cancer last week. Acelebration of her life will be held in Edmonton next Saturday. Carol Farquharson was away for a few days to help her sister Erma Bottineau celebrate her birthday on October 30th. They had a great come and go tea in honor of the birthday girl at the Wishing Well apartments where Erma lives. Many of her neighbors joined them as well as all four of her daughters, Carol Mavis, Beth and Sandy, her granddaughter, Rae and great granddaughter, Tatum. You know there was much laughter and chatting which makes for a happy birthday!

School parents mark your calendars. Next week, Nov. 16th is Staff meeting day, or "early out", as the kids call it. The following evening will be set aside for parent teacher interviews. That means that those report cards are going to be around right away!

Sunday afternoon and evening were busy for many of the local set. Some drove to Lougheed for the Camrose Fiddlers. I understand that although attendance was down a bit, the contributions to the food bank were great and the performance was wonderful!

Later in the day (about the time that the snow was flying, I believe) the country music set was off to Kinsella for another musical event in the Doc Walker concert! Again, I am told it was a fun evening, fully worth the

white knuckles and the slippery drive home!

Did you forget to get your Operation Christmas Child shoe box to the church on Sunday like I did? Randy has assured me that the boxes at our church won't be delivered to the Baptist Church in Killam until Saturday. There's still time to gather your goodies together to make someone's holiday bright.

Three tables of bridge players gathered at the Seniors Centre on Friday afternoon. First went to Ida May Black, second to Lorraine Rose, and third to Marjorie Parsons. The group was glad to have the Zane and Marjorie Parsons back.

Share your news! I look forward to hearing from you.

Have you ever read the second verse of our National Anthem? We sang O Canada on Sunday morning at church, both verses. I want to share those words with you here.

"Almighty Love, by thy mysterious power, In wisdom guide, with faith and freedom dower; Be ours a nation evermore that no oppression blights, Where justice rules from shore to shore, from lakes to northern lights.

May love alone for wrong atone;

Hughenden

Vehicles lined both sides of Main Street as Hughenden Ag Society and Central Sports Garden held their annual Turkey Supper on Sun., Nov. 7. You just can't beat turkey with all the trimmings! This annual fundraiser is always well supported to get the hockey and skating season off to a good start.

The Czar Quilters held their Annual Quilt Show in Czar on Nov. 5 and 6. The spectacular quilt work was admired by all that attended. It is absolutely amazing, the time and work that goes into these beautiful works of art.

An interesting meeting took place during the quilt show when the local "Mad Hatters" entertained a group of "Mad Hatters" from Wainwright with a special song. Their red hats and purple dresses easily identify the members of these groups.

Calling all whist play-

ers, come on down to the Golden Circle every Friday afternoon! What better great way to help pass the winter months than an afternoon per week playing cards and visiting with friends and neighbours. You may be wondering how the history book, Memories and Milestones 1905-2005, is progressing. Typists, proof readers and picture cataloguers have been working diligently throughout the summer and fall on submissions. Stories are still being accepted but be warned, a final deadline has now been set for February 28, 2005. So if you have put off getting your story written, please put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard within the next three months. Feb. 28 is the last deadline.

The cover sketch has now been chosen. After receiving input from Rob Rohac, the representative from the publishing company, it was decided to use Karen Carson's concept on the cover. Others were chosen for various places within the book to best display their artistry. The history book comcontinued on B20

Poot with son Bart,

plan to pass our farm on to the next generation in even better shape than we received it.

We make our living from this farm.

Our economic future depends on it remaining productive for years to come. That’s why we work hard to make sure we’re environmentally responsible.

We’ve always taken care of the land, but today more than ever. Strong environmental management not only makes sense today, it helps ensure our land retains its value as a productive farm unit tomorrow.

We’re proud that Alberta’s pork producers are environmentally responsible contributors to communities and we’re doing our part to make sure that continues.

For estburg residents take Parson’s bus trip to North Dakota

Doug and Rae Bish went on a Parson's Bus Tour from Lacombe to Minot, North Dakota from October 4th-10th to attend the Norsk Hostfest. They enjoyed the wonderful entertainment for 4 days. Also there from Forestburg were Doris Farvolden and her sister, Estelle Elofson of Ponoka. One of the highlights for Doris and her sister was visiting a cousin and he took them to visit another cousin who lives in Towner, North Dakota.

Sympathy to Terry and Gordon Lunty and boys on the passing away of Terry's father in Edmonton this past week.

The long road to having a super ,wonderful celebration dinner in your honour is a "Happening". Lily Kirschman was totally

and wonderfully surprised for her belated Birthday Party. The theme however was little bugs, big stuffed Roosters, "carving", orange trees and orange and black linens. The center piece, "a horn of plenty" had many scrumptious delicacies. Everyone was encouraged to taste and remark on their favorites. The "piece de resistance", was a roasted wild goose using both of Virginia's talents. Now the cake, Jean's creative endeavor carried the Halloween theme and had as the top of a chiffon layered cake the cutest scarecrow. Irish coffee wound up the special night. Lily thanked all who helped in the celebration and much laughter was ever present.

Doris Farvolden and Marjorie Oberg from Calgary went on a short trip to Windover, Nevada having a good time while there .Before returning to Forestburg, Doris spent a few days in Calgary visiting her sister, Thelma Dodds then on to visit her sister Estelle Elofson in Ponoka.

The Golden Age Club

held a Crib party on Fri., Nov. 5 with five tables in play. First place went to Marcella Schulte. Second, with 831 points was Doris Farvolden and low with 740 points went to Alfred Prehn. Everybody had a good time.

Neil and Lilyon Lunty returned from a months vacation in Europe. They spent the first week cycling 50 to 60 km per day in Holland. They enjoyed the Dutch countryside cycling along a few of the thousands of bicycle paths in the country amongst the many dikes, canals and windmills and along the North Sea. Their route also took them to the cities of Amsterdam, Gouda, Delft, Leiden and The Hague. The older central parts of all these cities contained many sights worthy of parting the bicycles and ambling about. With the exception of one day of cycling in the rain, the weather was perfect for cycling.

After a quick train trip to the Belgium city of Brugge for a couple of days, they met up with Neil’s parents, Edith and Wayne Lunty of

Sedgewick. Traveling by car and train they all followed as close as possible the path that Wayne had followed during World War Two. Wayne had never been back to Europe since the War. They traveled through Northern Holland, North West Germany, Normandy in France and South East England visiting areas, sites, monuments and cemeteries where Wayne had been sixty years earlier. Side trips were added to the Rhine valley, Paris and London, as well as the small towns of Huelhost and Schnathorst in Germany from which the Lunty’s emigrated to North America in the 1850’s. World War One sights in Flanders Fields and at Vimy Ridge were also highlights. Neil and Lilyon especially enjoyed the shows they took in while in Paris and London, especially the London production of Mamma Mia which is a musical based on the music of ABBA.

It was national 4-H week and the Hastings Coulee 4H Beef Club participated by setting up a

display at the ATB in Forestburg for the week. Photos of 4H Projects and information were there for everyone to enjoy. They also had a weigh in at Terry and Sharon Adams place on Sunday November 7, 2004, with 11 steers, 5 carcass calves and 5 heifers. The Hastings Coulee 4H Beef Club has sixteen members under the direction of leaders, Bill and Tracey Dietrich.

Congratulations to Barb Woody who won the Trip of the Month Draw, a trip to Mexico; and to Todd Oberg who won $100.

John, Lyn and Rebekah Butler enjoyed a short holiday to New York from October 29 to November 2. John and Lyn’s son, Garreth of

Australia, was there on business and so it was an opportune time to see one another. While in New York, they saw the Broadway Play "Chicago", visited the Empire State Building, Auggenheim Art Gallery and an aircraft carrier/museum. They also took a cruise around the harbor and did some shopping (mainly window shopping). Congratulations to Chris Bendfeld, eldest son of Grant and Renee Bendfeld and Rachelle Boles who were united in marriage on Saturday, October 30, 2004 at the Wedding Pavillion in Calgary. Asmall reception and dance followed. Chris and Rachelle are honeymooning in Cuba.

Community Press looks back...

85 years ago

Recommendations for amendments to the marriage laws of Canada and the provinces, which would make them probably the most drastic on the continent, were discussed by the Alberta Presbyterian synod.

The resolutions came from a special committee and are that postmasters should alone issue marriage licenses, that the disability with regard to the marriage with a deceased husband’s brother be removed and that the criminal code be amended to make it criminal for a couple to live together without being legally married.

35 years ago

It’s that time of year again when thieves are on the prowl and breakins are common. The fall season seems to have some kind of attraction for the nocturnal prowlers who seem to hit several localities on the same night or early morning and disappear into thin air.

Last week Lorne’s Pharmacy in Sedgewick was broken into and goods amounting to several hundred dollars taken. Entry was gained by removing a storm window at the rear of the store and then forcing the locked inner window with a pinch bar. The store was checked by the owner, Mr. French at 1:00 a.m. and all was well.

25 years ago

A not so rare malady has taken the life out of the Killam Church school. The school was only six years old. Final services for the infant church project was attended by a few who remained interested to the very end. These few devoted individuals were unable to save the church school. It is dead and few mourn its passing.

The school will be sadly missed by a few adults and many children. Please send all expressions of sympathy to whoever it is that keeps track of lost traditions.

Six years ago the Anglican, United and Presbyterian Churches decided to pool their resources and bring together the children of Killam in one school.

5 years ago

The Forestburg Project 2000 committee held its third “Pooling our Resources” fundraising auction on Nov. 6, at the Forestburg community hall, raising over $20,000 in cash, with 210 people attending the event and 300 items up for bid.

“We’d like to walk out of here tonight with $20,000 to $25,000,” said Committee chairman Blaise Young. The goal is to raise $500,000 by April 1, 2000. While many have said it can’t be done in five years, our most recent financial statement shows that we have surpassed the $400,000 mark with pledges and money raised,” he said.

SABRES HOCKEY

Kevin Martin #1 in world

KERRY ANDERSON

In a battle of the champions, Kevin Martin put together a six-ender Nov. 1 to defeat Randy Ferbey and win the McCain SuperSpiel West at Portage Curling Club in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba.

Martin's backbreaking shot came in the fifth end of a 9-4 win in the 16th and final stage of the spiel, when he ticked his own rock to nudge a Ferbey stone back to count a half-dozen in the $50,000 event.

The victory gave the Martin rink $15,000 for first place, plus entry into the TSN Skins Game scheduled for Dec. 4-5, which they won in both 2001 and 2002. They also advance to the Canada Cup West bonspiel from Dec. 1519.

Both Martin and Ferbey were undefeated in the McCain SuperSpiel West 32team event prior to meeting in the final.

"I got a tick and ended up getting a whole bunch," Martin said. "I've never had a six at this level before, not that I can remember. Six is basically impossible.

"Yeah, that was big, that was big. That was the ball game then."

The two mult-time Canadian curling champs always play out a battle of the titans when they meet.

"We don't play each other often, but there's certainly a little intensity out there. That's nicely put, isn't it?," said Martin.

Ferbey explained that Martin just made too many good shots in the contest, stopping Ferbey from scoring two in the third end and fourth end, before putting together the big fifth.

"Kevin played really well today and that's expected from him," said Ferbey.

Filling out the Martin rink are; third - Don Walchuk, secondCarter Rycroft and lead Don Bartlett.

The skins game will be the last ever, as the sponsorship was pulled. Martin will face Brier champ Mark Dacey of Nova Scotia, defending skins champ Wayne Middaugh of Ontario, and the winner of the McCain SuperSpiel East which will be determined later this month.

Martin wins again

Down 5-0 after the first end, Lougheed's Kevin Martin stormed back against Jeff Stoughton and his Winnipeg rink in the final of the $100,000 BDO Curling Classic winning 10-9 on Sunday in Hamilton.

The win was Martin's first in a year on the PharmAssist Grand Slam of Curling tour, though his rink is ranked number one in the world. Within a week of winning $15,000 in the McCain SuperSpiel West, the Martin rink picked up another $30,000 at the BDO. Martin also won the BDO in 2002.

"Man, we hung in there," Martin said after the win over Stoughton. "This is a huge win, with us chasing an Olympic Trials spot."

Kodiaks unbeaten in 20 games

FROM THE STANDS

Feedback makes section more interesting

By KERRY ANDERSON

What a great week for the CPsports department. I can't tell you how happy "From..." is that so many people gave me a quick call to let me know what is going on. We don't get this stuff through osmossis. We need to be told, and it's always nice when I am at my desk with pen in hand instead of with coffee cup in hand or a loaf of bread in hand at the grocery store. It's just a little easier to remember, that's all.

We don't consider it bragging when you give us a ring to tell us your friend or relative accomplished something. To us it's just news. If you don't call, you're really doing that person a disservice. That's far worse than bragging.

Also, we've been encouraged so far with the participation by our local hockey teams - but we know there are far more out there which could still get their team stats and game reports to us. Right Mr. Slavik?

The Apple Doesn't Fall Too Far...: Through the CP's many dealings over the years with Sheldon and Noreen Steil of Heisler, I can't remember even one staff member who ever said they weren't treated hospitably by the couple. Sheldon is the former mayor of the village, still on council; and the couple is involved in countless community activities including minor ball which "From..." has covered numerous times during Provincial action.

Well this past week I had the pleasure to interview son Todd, who is in his second season with the AJHL's Camrose Kodiaks. What a poised, polite young man with a good head on his shoulders. We will be featuring Todd and fellow Kodiak Derek Wolbeck in an upcoming article in the CP. Attention: Derek! Please call me as soon as possible. "From..." is arranging some photos of these fine young men through Kodiaks' PR man Jason Jones, who's doing some leg work for me.

Miscellaneous: ****** The sports channels have very little to put on the air these days, however there was a really good feature on former BC Lion and Edmonton Eskimo Jim Sandusky. He's retired from football professionally, but somewhere in Washington State where he lives he built a football field on his acreage. Apparently the town is a bit short on places to play. Well, a native school called him up not long after his field was constructed and asked if he would mind if they played there because their school was just starting up a football program. He agreed. Not too long after, they asked if he'd coach the team. He agreed. Well, now as it turns out Sandusky is making lines on the field before the games, coaching the team, and acts as trainer even taping up players before the games. Did I mention he also washes and irons the uniforms. Apparently the native team is doing very well under the coaching of a former professional, and he's earned the respect of the whole indian nation. The students are apparently building huge self-esteem. Great story of unselfishness.

****** "From..." Reader Number 140 called to tell me about her husband's accomplishments this past summer. Heisler's Dennis Meyer won the super stock invitational car race at Sanguda in August followed by a win at Bud Park in Edmonton in September. Dennis was the season winner in Edmonton, accumulating the most points from all races. He was also named rookie of the year at Bud Park. Thanks for the call, Sharon.

****** What was Higgins thinking? If the coach doesn't order up a fake punt, Riders don't score before the half ended, momentum doesn't swing and Esks advance to the Western final - in theory.

****** You want to know why the Camrose Kodiaks are the class of the AJHLyear after year? Everyone has their job, they're all good at their jobs, and they conduct themselves with the utmost class and professionalism. I got a call last week from Barry Fossen (better known as "From..." Reader Number 169). He's on the board of the Kodiaks and he wanted to thank the CP for our Kodiaks coverage and introduce me to the team's PR man Jason Jones. Turns out the Kodiaks want to submit articles and statistics to the CP, which works out great for us because there are two top-notch local guys playing for the Junior Ateam - Derek Wolbeck and Todd Steil (as I mentioned before). Jason takes pictures and does a write-up every week and posts the information on the Kodiaks' web site. Hie is

the liason between team and media. Both men just wanted to keep me up to date on what the team is doing, and how they can help me help them. The media always appreciates that kind of considerate conduct.

****** The 2004 World Series of Poker drew larger ratings on ESPN than did the first two games of the Stanley Cup finals last fall. Yeah, $1.9 million average NHLsalary isn't fair right? They must be bluffing.

****** I bumped into Dallas Ellerby (better known as "From..." Reader Number 203) at the Jets game against Consort a week or so ago. His son Tyson is playing on the Consort Comets. He hasn't laced them up in a couple of years, but looked good out on the ice. Tyson has a tendency to drop the gloves once in a while, to which Dallas told him to watch who he's scrapping with because he has some customers north of Consort. Dallas, of course, is formerly of Killam and played some Major Junior hockey with the Calgary Centennials in what was then called the WCHL.

****** The Steils of Heisler, who "From..." mentioned earlier in this column, are building just an awesome looking log home in the Premier Village. We don't see a lot of big log homes in our area so it really stands out.

Do a drive-by the next time you're there.

****** Honoured at a recent Hughenden Jets game was former team manager John Hovde. He's retired from his role on the team now, but was shown a small token of the team's appreciation with a nice presentation and gift. Great to see the behind-the-scenes people who aren't looking for any fanfare, get some when it is well deserved.

****** Locals taking part in the CFR this year are Lee Laskosky of Viking and Gene Wiart of Alliance, both in steer wrestling. Lee is in fifth place this season with winnings of $14,154 while Gene is 11th with $13,259.

****** Organizing the Hardisty oil women's bonspiel this weekend is, among others, Mayor Anita Miller. Congratulations to her on becoming mayor. There aren't too many people who have done more volunteer work in that fine town over the years. Her hard work is well respected and it obviously paid off. She'll do a fine job in the big chair. Also congratulations to good guy John Drozdowski, a fair-minded man who did a good job as mayor in that town.

****** Sounds like there's a pretty fine pee wee girls hockey team developing in Killam. With humble continued on page B3

Bullsheeters win Survivor Farmer

On Oct. 23, a very hard working bunch of individuals put on a Survivor Farmer evening to support the local Killam Minor Hockey Association. The night started off with ten teams of six participating in what was to be a very entertaining and fun evening. The team members came from Killam, Alliance, Lougheed, Sedgewick, and Edmonton. Throughout the evening teams were eliminated by timed games, skilled games and

fun games. When we got down to the final three games, each team had to build a bird house and auction it off. These teams were, The Bull Sheeters, The BangiMkulima (dope farmers) and the Klamphets. The Bull Sheeters and BangiMkulima advanced to the final game. The final event was that the teams had to become good friends with a couple of chickens. The fast moves and quickness of hands of Shelly & Terry Brodie, John & Patty Child and

Kim & Ginette Dammann led The Bullsheeters to become the champions of the night and the winners of $500. After the competition there was also a silent auction to take part in and there was a D.J. who provided music for anyone who wanted to burn up the dance floor. It was a very fun evening with a lot of hard work but was worth every bit of laugher and giggles that made it well worth it!

The purpose of this bylaw is:

To close to public travel and dispose of the following described highways, subject to rights of access granted by other legislation: Service Road showing in Registered Plan 832-2890 as illustrated below. SW-33-41-13-W4

****** Former Junior A Kodiaks star Richard Petiot has started another season with Colorado College. This past weekend his parents, Jerry and Shirley, drove to North Dakota to watch the team play an away game. It's a 14-hour drive but it's as close to home as the LA Kings' (remember them?) draft pick will play this season. Colorado looks strong again this season.

Pats of the Western Hockey League... And, Chris Cuthbert and the Hockey Night In Canada crew were at the Carena in Viking last week doing a feature on small town arenas.

Upsets rule in Jr.B league

What a season so far in the league as all the teams are the most competitive they have been in years. Every time I look at the standings there has been an upset. Teams that should have won are getting beat by other teams and if a team loses to them less than a week ago they come back and beat them the following week. This is what makes this league great to be a part of. Killam is still in the running as they are 52-0 in their last seven games. The Wheat Kings can also thank other teams in the league for keeping them in the race after such a terrible start.

The Wheaties travelled to Marwayne on the weekend to play the Onion Lake's Winterhawks who had

not lost in their last three games vs. opponents. The game was rescheduled to Marwayne after one of Onion Lake residents had passed away and the community was having a wake. The Wheaties went prepared to make up for the loss to Onion Lake not less than a week ago in Killam. They did exactly what they wanted, beating the Winterhawks four to three and closing the gap at little more between themselves and the rest of the league. This also brought the Wheaties to .500 for the first time this season after starting the season 0-3-1 The Wheaties have tightened up their defence and seem to be getting scoring from more than just one line. It seems as though they are

starting to come together as a team and are showing the rest of the league that they can contend with them. It's going to be a tough home stand through this week as the Wheaties will play Wainwright, Saddle Lake, and Vermilion starting on Tuesday Night.

Also don’t forget Saturday night when Vermilion comes to town. This is where we will see if they are as tough as they think they are. The Wheat Kings will be ready for the cocky team to show their toughness and let them know where they can rest their skates. It's going to be one of the best games of the season so don’t miss out!

North Stars unbeaten

By MELANIE HANRAHAN

North Stars Reporter Daysland

The ice is in, the hot chocolate is brewing and the fans are ready for another sure to be satisfying season in the BRHL. The North Stars have played two season games against Consort and Provost, both going to the Stars.

The first season game was held in Consort on Oct. 29. Both the Stars

and the Comets were in hope of starting the season off right with a win. The Stars got off to a good start, getting the first goal two minutes and 30 seconds in, followed by another with seven minutes left, leaving the first period with a 2-1 lead.

In the second and the third periods, the Stars defense and offence pulled out all they had, scoring two in the second

and one in the third, not allowing the Comets to advance in score. The victory of 5-1 gave the Stars a start off on the right foot.

On Oct. 30, the Stars had their first season game on home ice against the Provost Blades. The Stars once again began the game strong, scoring the first and only goal in the first.

In the second the Stars knew they had to come out stronger if they want-

ed to successfully take another game. They scored two in the second, while the Blades were only capable of obtaining one goal.

In the third, the Blades in trying to advance and get a win, were stopped by the determined Stars defense allowing them only two goals, while the Stars offence topped the game off with two more goals, giving them a 5-3 victory.

Midget Polar Kings drop two close games

By BRENDAWALKER

Polar Kings Reporter

After coming home last weekend with three wins, the Wainwright Midget AAAPolar Kings fell short in both games, first Saturday night against the NE Panthers 5-2, and then again Sunday afternoon against the Lloydminster Blazers 5-3.

“We played well for the first two periods Saturday night against the Panthers. It was only a 1-1 hockey game”, says Coach Randy Huxley.

“The same today, we played really well for the

Polar Kings pounded at home

By SHEAKELLY

After taking the previous weekend off, the Wainwright Bantam Polar Kings played the Lloydminster Nelson Lumber Blazers on Saturday, November 6 at the Peace Memorial Multiplex in Wainwright.

The second place Blazers have a record of three wins, two ties and zero losses.

Wainwright had several excellent scoring chances in the first period but were unable to make it happen. Lloydminsters' power play was effective with four of their seven goals scored with the man advantage.

Cody Woodward assisted by Charlie Leslie and Jordy Lovig scored the Polar Kings only goal early in the third period. The Blazers came out ahead of the Polar Kings seven to one at the end of the game with four goals scored in the third period.

first period and the first 10 minutes of the second.”

Aaron Saik, Colin Zimmer and Brady Mayne all gained a point a piece with a goal this weekend while Scott Day picked up two, one each game.

The Kings now have a weekend off as they had planned on attending the Prince Albert Tournament. They unfortunately were not one of the teams chosen to participate this year.

The Kings will travel to Spruce Grove to play the Timberwolves Fri., Nov.

Dear Clayton, Sympathy goes to you and your Eskimos. Better luck next year.

ATribute to Fred Vincett

March 14, 1927Oct. 25, 2004

by : Wendy Holman (step-daughter-in-law)

It is a distinct honour to pay tribute to Fred, as a husband, step-father, grandpa and friend.

Twenty-two years ago, our family was given a gift and that gift was Fred. He came into our lives after a story-book romance aboard a cruise ship that just happened to have our mother, Mil, aboard. They fell in love and were married in July of 1982.

At first, Fred was the strong, silent, shy partner to Mil but as time passed we discovered his depth of character, his kind giving spirit and his joy for living. In our time together, Fred shared his gifts with us in special ways and each one of us have fond memories that we would like to share with you.

To Mil, Fred gave the gift of love and companionship. They built a beautiful dream home together and turned the grounds into a park that represented hours of labor, planning and pride. Their home in Galahad became a favorite meeting place for family gatherings as we

skiied, enjoyed the hot tub, played card games and Oilmen at Christmas, and went for walks to admire the man-made and natural beauty of their farm. Fred introduced Mil to Galahad life - the coffee shop, the pub, the old friends and the church. They formed a strong and equal partnership that grew richer as the years passed.

To step-son, Bill, Fred gave his time and support as their relationship developed from friendship to business partner to father figure. Fred was always interested in our daily lives and was very excited when Bill invited him to join us in our Elk farming venture. Fred was on-call for almost two years as the unpaid hired hand. He drove tractor, built fences and drilled holes without a single complaint. Fred spent so much time at our place that he had his own chair in the TV room and at the table. He also slept on a very uncomfortable hide-a-bed and managed to eat whatever I gave him (except for perogies). Bill couldn’t have done it without him and he is deeply grateful that he had a strong buddy to help him set up the farm. To step-daughter

OBITUARIES

Fr ed Vincett

Eleanor, Fred provided a home away from home for her family and herself. She enjoyed their special times together when Fred acted as tour guide sharing the history of the families and farmsteads and the sites that made Galahad unique. They also shared a common interest in investments and current events which Fred made a point of following every day. As you know, Fred liked to make and save money. He became quite the political activist as his interest and participation in the Alliance party grew in the past few years. With Eleanor’s fiance, Bill Hutchinson, Fred shared a common farming background and an interest in driving around the countryside; discussing the crops, the value of land and the cost of machinery. Fred’s farming experience started in 1950 and lasted until about ten years ago so his comments were based on over 40 years of wisdom and we all respected his opinion. Like all farmers, Fred was interested in who lived where and Hutch then became the willing and knowledgeable tour guide when Mil and Fred moved to Lacombe a year

Clarence Frank Vos

Clarence was born on April 24, 1916 and passed away on Oct. 31, 2004 at the age of 88 years, surrounded by his loving family. He was the fourth child of Reinard and Ida Vos. He met and married Henrietta Sunderman on Aug. 6, 1940. From this union, 11 children were

born: Eileen (John), Gerald (Lynn), Alvin (Janice), Judy (Grant), Dennis (Judy), Gilbert (Kaireen), Jeanette (Harvey), Nancy (Rodney) Pat (Doug), Joanne (Harold) and Sherry (Bruce). He is also survived by 20 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, one brother and six sisters.

Clarence loved life. He enjoyed farming, a good card game, music, dancing and all sports. He was a lifetime member of the Elks and Knights of Columbus.

Clarence was a kind and gentle man who was devout to his faith and devoted to his family. He

will be sadly missed by everyone who knew and loved him. We are all thankful for the time we shared with him.

Prayer services were held on Thurs., Nov. 4 at 6:30 p.m. from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church in Daysland. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Fri., Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson as Celebrant. Internment followed in the Daysland Cemetery. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the charity of one’s choice.

ago.

To me, Fred was my back-up chore boy as well as being a great step-dadin-law. I could always depend on him to help us out when we went on holidays or when I was too busy to help Bill. He was also eager to do farm projects like cutting the grass and splitting wood for the fireplace. I’m so

grateful for all the scrap metal he brought over. Even though the men thought it would make fine welding material, I appreciated the beauty of the metal and several pieces became rustic decorations in my rock garden. The wheels, discs and old wheelbarrow scattered throughout the garden will continue to

remind me of Fred’s common sense, unpretentious nature and strength that overcame many obstacles.

To the grandchildren, Fred gave his attention, his support for their careers and his expertise. They all loved to come to Galahad for a few days of skiing at Christmas and continued on B17

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders field.

Take up our quarrel with the foe;

To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Strome has large group out trick or treating for Halloween

by JOAN BROCKHOFF

Thought for the week: “Aminute’s success pays the failure of years.”

Well, I’m back at some of my jobs. As you can see I am writing the news this week and next week at the post office and I will receive it from one of my capable helpers, Priscilla Hawkins or Sheena Koehli. Time will tell if I will be returning to work, but I am still able to carry on the museum work and help out with the paper work at the post office.

The little witches, ghosts and goblins had a great time visiting the houses in Strome for Halloween. The residents of our little town enjoyed your smiling faces and were thankful that no tricks were played. There were 74 Halloweeners of all sizes that visited our house.

Gerald Hawkins, Trevor Dalueg and Val Blake left on Friday with the hunting shack for a week long trip to the Debolt area. They will be joined by more local hunters through the week.

It is nice to see Arlene Simmons out and about after spending time in the Daysland Hospital. Working those Red Deer casinos seems to catch up with a person.

The Strome curling Club worked the floor for the Strome Community League weekly night bingos for the month of October. It was nice to see all the young legs your organization has volunteering, sure saves on the old faithful ones. Maurice Miller and Bob Hayes did a great job of calling,

especially when they found the right number. Join everyone again this Thursday for a night out with a new staff working for the November month.

Welcome to Strome, Kirk Steeves from BC. He is working at Quicksilver and is making his home in the former Harry Hawkins residence.

Congratulations to George and Sybil Williams on a passing milestone of 40 years of married life together, may you have many more years of wedded bliss. The Nov. 2 Booster had a picture of them in their wedding day, just beautiful! I saved it for the museum scrapbook.

Has anyone seen Dennis Koehli this fall?

Dennis likes to get his name in the paper every time I write the news, but I don’t hear any news

about him. So if anyone has some news, please let me know so I can report on Dennis Koehli next week and put his name in the news.

The Parent-Teacher Interviews took place last Thursday from 4-9 p.m. and from all reports, we have a bunch of little Einsteins growing up in our school.

Sympathy is sent out to Harry and Connie Nauenburg on the passing of Harry’s mother Magdalene Nauenburg of Camrose, formerly of Bruce, on Oct. 28 at the age of 75 years.

She is survived by two sons, Harry (Connie) of Strome, and Franz of Bruce; two daughters, Hilda of Calgary, and Sonia (Dean) Nelson of

Wetaskiwin; seven grandchildren, Elise, Amy, Ryan, Lyndy, Emily, Ben and Sara; three brothers, Paul Betcker, Arthur and Reinhold Sedens; four sisters, Lydia Korner, Margrete Schulze, Waltraut Werner and Urula Winter; numerous nieces and nephews, relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Hugo in 2000 and three brothers, Johan, Herbert and Wilhelm.

Public viewing took place at Weber’s Mount Pleasant Chapel on Mon., Nov. 1, 2004, followed by a memorial service at the Camrose Church of God at 2 p.m. on Mon., Nov. 1, 2004. Internment was at the Bawlf Cemetery.

Taking in the Fenton Yearly Cattle Sale last Thursday was Bill Hawkins who travelled to the sale with Larry

Henkel of Okotoks.

The Strome and District Historical Society spent Oct. 19 and 20 working in Red Deer in the casino. George Borgel, Phillip Rawe, Dave Lorenson, Myrna Rawe, Don and Mary Ann Pfeffer, Arlene Simmons and Trish Schnek capably handled the task.

The Strome and District Historical Society worked the Strome Community League Thursday night bingo for the month of September. It was nice to see so many volunteers work this event into their busy schedules during harvest and even wedding anniversaries, right Al!

On Thursday, Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, remember our soldiers who fought to give us the free country that we live in.

“Lest we forget.”

The Galahad Health Care Auxiliary held their

regular meeting on Nov. 3 with 12 members present.

On the behalf of the auxiliary, president Doreen Herle, congratulated auxilian Alaire Oberg on being presented with The Caring Canadian Award.

Alaire is a valued member of our auxiliary and a friend of all the residents.

The president thanked members for their work in providing the

Thanksgiving supper for the residents, their families and friends.

Jean Kumar and Doreen Oberg will attend the Alberta Gaming Information Session later in November.

Annual Heisler sausage supper still holds its own

Maxine Badry Heisler

A man and a woman who have never met before, find themselves in the same sleeping carriage of a train. After the initial embarrassment, they both manage to get to sleep; the woman on the top bunk, the man on the lower.

In the middle of the night the woman leans over and says, “I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m awfully cold and I was wondering if you could possibly pass me another blanket?”

The man leans out with a glint in his eye and says “I’ve got a better idea...let’s pre-tend were married.”

“Why not,” giggles the woman.

“Good,” he replies, “get your own blanket.”

Hi everyone, are you all enjoying the lovely weather? Surprising how the snow has disap-

peared, but sounds like there is more on the way.

Oh well it’s winter, the days are shorter now and the nights longer. How many of you forgot to set your clocks back?

Visiting for a few days with Melvin and Carol Meyer was Carol’s sister, Janet Downs of Calgary. Dennis joined them on the weekend and they took in the sausage supper.

Visiting with Dick and Dee Ladowces were friends from Calgary, taking in the sausage supper on Sunday.

Winners of the raffle for “STARS” were: Mary Lou Hauck (craft); Kevin Sommer, Vermilion (doilie); Bonnie Bendfeld, Heisler (Quilt). Agood crowd was in attendance at our 49th year of the sausage supper. Attendance was down some, due to Halloween falling on the same day. Thanks to all who attended to make our supper a great success and to everyone who helped in any way.

Visiting with us this

week was our grandson Trevor and Jodene Ronsko and daughter Jayla of Camrose.

Birthday greetings to Heather McCarroll, Deb Wolbeck and Larissa Zimmer on Nov. 8; Jonathan Badry on Nov. 9; Mitchell Kroetsch and John Pushak on Nov. 10; Wanda Hihn on Nov. 11; Kelsey Lawrence, Victor Badry and Brandon Martz on Nov. 12 and David Curtis on Nov. 13.

Anniversary greetings to Duane and Jane Stephanishion on Nov. 8; Ken and Val Wolbeck and Kevin and Joanne Zimmer on Nov. 10; Dennis and Sharon Meyer on Nov. 14.

Visiting with Ken and Sharon Wolbeck was their son and daughterin-law and new baby of Thorsby. While here they took in the sausage supper.

Thought for the week: Happiness consists in forgetting what one gives and remembering what one receives.

Have a good week everyone.

Spiller Gauthier Graduated June 8, 2004 from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education Degree (Specializing in Elementary Education.)

Erin at present is working with Child Care in Edmonton. She is the daughter of Owen and Betty-Jean Spiller of Daysland, AB.

I was lucky enough to win a door prize at the grand opening of Main Street Medley. I got a lovely little wooden box with some Christmas ornaments inside. Thank you Laurie.

I was driving around town on the new pavements the other day and noticed a big new fence constructed around the old Kuefler house, a garage constructed behind the old Stewart McPherson house, a house erected on the old Gilman Berg property, and new outbuildings on the old Wiart place.

Denny Nelson and Lynn Gravell have built the fence for their big dogs at the Kuefler house that they now own.

Dodd and Terry Ulrich are the owners of the garage and house where Marion and Stewart used to live.

Phillip and Jenny Marcel are constructing their new home next door to Shane and Melinda Erickson who are on the Wiart place next to the grader shed.

Doug Larson was home

last weekend. He has been away for 28 days. Vicki was going to let him try his hand at sorting bottles in the re-cycle depot on Saturday afternoon. Vicki is getting so good at it that she can talk and sort at the same time and I think she could do it with her eyes closed too.

Rick and Cathy McKay have moved into the Tim Fuller house. They came from Edmonton. They are happy to be first time home owners. Cathy loves old houses and they wanted to get out of the city. They should make out just fine in Alliance. Rick drives for Holt Transport.

Art and Tina Ratcliffe are the new owners of the Minnell house. They told me that they just picked a spot on the map that was out of the city and half way between the kids.

Alliance wins! Art is recently retired from the construction industry.

Kyle Meckler has moved back to Alliance to live with his Dad, Robert, who lives with Edit Zoch.

Now this started a chain reaction. Edit's house is too small so they bought the old McFadden house off of Edit's step father, George Kun. Dixie Berry who was living in the green house by the sports grounds had to move. Dixie moved to the house

across from the United Church. Ed Wold is her landlord. Shane Berry, Dixies son and girlfriend Paula moved to the house behind the hardware. Mark Kuefler is their landlord.

Edit,Robert and Kyle move into their new home this week. Edit was at work at the Valley Inn on Tuesday. This was her first day working since she broke her ankle this summer.

Marie Rands has daughter, Heather, home this week. Heather is recuperating from surgery and surviving chemo. She looks very good and her attitude will see her through.

Peter and I went to Salem Oregon this week. We were all set to go to Wisconsin but our customers customer cancelled one of the mixers so we were off to Oregon with a full load. Aaron will go to Wisconsin next week and we go to Oklahoma. We left on Wed., drove

all night to get to Salem in time to unload on Thurs., and get to Seattle before 9 pm to load steel to come back to Nisku for Friday unload and then reload for Oklahoma. We were doing just fine until about 2 am Friday morning at Cloverdale, BC when we had a flat tire on the trail-

er. It was either a call out at $100 plus or wait until 7 am. We waited and now the farmer in Oklahoma has to wait for his mixer for a couple of more days. Chain reaction. We can't unload until Tues., because Mon., is all booked up. Nov. 11 is a holiday so that makes

working this week a little more interesting. The second Monday of each month is crib night at the Fun-For-All Rec centre in addition to games every Wed. afternoon to keep the place living up to its name, 'Fun-For-All.'

Fred Vincett obit

continued from B6

he willingly played board games for hours regardless of what he really wanted to watch on TV. His love of children began when he became a ski instructor at the Valley Ski Hill and extended over twenty years as he helped hundreds of children learn to ski. In the summer, his beautiful pond supplied hours of fishing enjoyment for Russell and Justin and Dave and I even used it as a swimming pool. He always encouraged the grandchildren in their pursuit of further education and they are grateful for this support and are all on

their way to being successful adults because of his unwavering belief in them.

Fred had a quiet way about him that everyone felt comfortable with. He was friendly and easy to talk to and often had a good joke that would spice up the conversation. He was very hard working and frugal but he also had a hidden adventurous spirit as well. It must have been hard for him to leave his solitary bachelor life to join the Singles Club which eventually led to the relationship we celebrate today. He also took a risk when he let Mil plan trips that took him off the farm. They went on 28 trips in 18 years to such exotic places as England, Africa, China, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba and Bali.

Although Fred often let Mil ‘speak for him’ he was not a pushover. Mil, Eleanor, grand-daughter Leslie and I all tried very

hard in our own way to help Fred understand the modern working woman and even though we thought we were making headway, he would occasionally remind us that we weren’t being as subtle as we thought. Mil shared this story about when Fred went into the Motor Vehicle Branch this year. She was waiting in the truck and when the clerk asked Fred if his wife was a good driver, he said, “She’s the best! She can drive from both sides of the truck”.

Fred was also a courageous man. He fought through two serious operations in 2003, worked hard to build strength in his back through exercise and surgery and was most recently dealing with diabetes. Through it all he was patient, optimistic, strong and cheerful. Moving off the farm was a hard decision and took courage as well, but Fred chose Lacombe and both

he and Mil made the transition with energy and a positive attitude. They have made many good friends in a short time and have been extremely busy. This last year has been very enjoyable for both of them and we have all cherished our closeness and inpromptu gatherings. On behalf of Mil and the rest of Fred’s adopted family, we would like to thank the Vincett family for sharing the gift which was Fred. In closing, I would like to share these thoughts about the pursuit of happiness that I feel describes Fred’s journey through life: It is an illusion to think that more comfort means more happiness. Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed (Storm Jameson). Fred was certainly needed. He brought joy to our lives and we will miss him.

On Wed. Nov. the 3rd, I was attending the Community Press in Sedgwick so that I could participate in the Take Your Kids To Work program.

Every year all of Canada participates in the Take Your Kids To Work program. Grade nine students go with their parents, guardians, or just to a job that they may be interested in. In my case I am interested in

in its day, and the memory of it was almost lost. I was at a gun auction in Red Deer at Bud Haynes in August looking for items of militaria as I am a collector of Canadian military history. This hobby has led me to become a fairly knowledgeable historian on matters of Canadian military. Far from expert, but fairly knowledgeable. While there I purchased a small collection of collar badges which were worn

Canada have been going out into the business world to see what it's like and what job potential they have. During my time at the Community Press, I learned some things about what making a newspaper actually requires. I started the day listening to a staff meeting. It takes a lot of com-

computers, so I chose the Community Press to find out how they make the ads that go in the newspaper, and how it gets put together.

I arrived at the Community Press at 8:30 a.m. and I got the grand tour of the press, and of the print shop. I found out many different things as how to set up different machines so that you can print the newspaper. After that I realized that I

The biggest challenge while I was there was actually making an ad. I had to ask someone for help so many times.

didn't understand the many steps and work that gets put into the newspaper.

After the tours, I went with Community Press worker, Aleisha Stayura. She showed us the steps of making an ad. She also showed us how to use different programs for different ads like the national ads, local ads, and classified ads. After Aleisha showed me what her job was, I got to make my own ad. It wasn't

said “Second Battalion”. I had heard of the “First Battalion” but never the Second. As I am also a member of the Military Collector’s Club of Canada, I showed my more learned colleagues these badges and they had not heard of them either. Which, of course, sends these types of people into endless searches for the truth. One member happened to have a book containing all the Dept. of Militia and

There are so many ads in the paper, and I don't think that people actually know how much work they take. I certainly didn't know.

I told Michelle Molyneux, editor, that I was interested in writing articles. She set me up with a story, and you can see my other article (The

After I was done making ads it was lunch. We got an hour lunch break and then back to work we went.

In the afternoon, Community Press publisher Kerry Anderson, and Community Press editor Michelle Molyneux showed me how to put together the

Defense general orders from the early 1920’s and found this obscure reference to our battalion. It took people all across Canada to find it, but I finally found out about our own regiment.

I find it absolutely amazing that I bought these collars in Red Deer, not knowing what they were, and discovered that they belonged back here in Sedgewick after all.

Canada was once in possession of a very

During all of this I had a great time learning what the real world is like, and that it isn't as easy as it looks. The Community Press was a great choice for me because I learned a lot more about what I want to do.

As a Canadian military historian, I have learned so much about our people, facts that in many cases were, and are, about to be lost forever as these gentlemen decease. I don’t collect militaria for it’s monetary value alone, but for its historic value. Very few people in Canada share my enthusiasm for this.

Lougheed and District Lions raise money for area food bank again

MICHELLE MOLYNEUX

The Second Annual Flagstaff Food Bank Concert sponsored by the Lougheed Lions Club, raised over $700 Sunday afternoon.

There was a good crowd despite other events going on at the same time and it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon - seeing familiar faces and making new friends.

The entertainment once again was the Camrose Fiddlers with special guests who all presented an Old Tyme Music Concert at the Lougheed Community Hall.

A $5 admission fee plus

non-perishable food item will no doubt be appreciated at the local food bank.

The afternoon performances included such waltzes as the Merry Widow, Toronto, Ukrainian and Rose Glen. Polkas evened out the presentation with Flannigan's and Favourite Polkas.

Musicians and vocalists made solos including their version of Don't Be Angry and Storms Never Last.

Two very talented young ladies from Wainwright, and sisters to boot, showed why they were the special guests
