Another “shout out” for Greg Rissling, from Denzil, and Viterra for their very generous donation to the Luseland Food Bank.

Once again this year, Greg harvested a designated field of grain with his antique equipment. When he sold the grain, Viterra matched the price. The total was then equally divided between the food banks of Luseland, Denzil, and Macklin. Thank you so much Greg Rissling and Viterra for helping our communities in this generous way.

Welcome back, Kerrobert Church Council Halloween Have a safe and Happy Halloween! This year’s Halloween is go- ing to look a little bit different Written by: Kaesyn Reed this year considering we’re in a global pandemic. The guidelines for Kerrobert are as follows: if you have any signs of Covid-19 please stay home, you must so- cially distance if you are not from the same household, sanitize everything trick-or-treaters have touched every 20 or so min- utes, candy that is being handed out must have a tight wrapping around it. There are also some safe alternatives that could be done such as costume viewing from your house or backyard, decorating Halloween cookies, or watching Halloween movies.

Halloween will definitely be different from other years but it’s still a fun time to make memo- ries with your friends and family.
