1 NOTE Koberstein, Karl and Juli (by daughter Ruth Rolf)
2 CONT It was indeed a very new and strange experience when Julianna Seidlitz 
2 CONC and Karl Koberstein first came to Canada from their homeland in Chelm, 
2 CONC Poland.  Not being able to speak the language was especially hard.
2 CONT They came to Canada in the spring of 1927, on a large steam ship which 
2 CONC took about two weeks.  The landed in Halifax and continued across Canada 
2 CONC by train, all the way to Edmonton where previous immigrant friends met 
2 CONC and put them up.
2 CONT They soon found employment.  Karl first started working on various farms. 
2 CONC  Later he worked at Gainers where he stayed for the next ten years. 
2 CONC  Julianna found house keeping jobs to keep her busy and to earn a little 
2 CONC money.
2 CONT Karl and Julianna got married in Nov., 1928.  They lived in a small house 
2 CONC on the south side whichstill stands today.  This was very close to work 
2 CONC at Gainers, and also Trinity Lutheran Church, where they were members 
2 CONC with their young family.
2 CONT They were blessed with three daughters, Eleanor born in Oct. 1930, Evelyn 
2 CONC in Oct. 1932, and Ruth in Dec. 1934.  These young girls certainly kept 
2 CONC mother busy, but she enjoyed her city life very much.
2 CONT In late March of 1937 their first son, Herbert, appeared on the scene. 
2 CONC  It was a thrill to have their first little boy.
2 CONT Father at this time got very restless and tired of working a Gainers, and 
2 CONC finally talked Mother into going farming.  Dad's  brother, Gus 
2 CONC Koberstein, was already farming in the Gardenview district, so this made 
2 CONC Dad want to go too.  Finally Mother agreed and they moved to their little 
2 CONC farm, NE 24-57-5-W5, with it's small four room log house, and a few other 
2 CONC buildings.
2 CONT There was not electricity, no water, and the roads were narrow dirt 
2 CONC trails.  Mother found it extreamely hard after coming from the city with 
2 CONC it's conveniences, especially with four children.
2 CONT The house was heated with a wood burning heater, and it had wooded 
2 CONC floors.  It also had a wood burning cooking range along with a few 
2 CONC kitchen cubboards.  It was no "Taj Mahal", but we coped just like our 
2 CONC neighbors.  Dad soon got a few cows, chickens, pigs, and horses,cleared 
2 CONC some land, and carved out a beautiful farm.  Although it was hard for 
2 CONC everyone, we were happy.
2 CONT Crafts School was nearly four miles away, so it was a hardship for us 
2 CONC young children to walk so far.  The first fall Eleanor started school Dad 
2 CONC would many times carry her part way.  She was soon joined by her sisters 
2 CONC and brothers and other neighbor children.  There was another road opened 
2 CONC up straight east of Crafts school, which cut our mileage down some.  In 
2 CONC later years when the Haltiner children started, everybody that could, 
2 CONC would pile on their buggy or sleigh which made a good time for all.
2 CONT Our first experience with school started at Crafts for all of us, but in 
2 CONC later years a centralized school was built, complete with electricity, 
2 CONC indoor washrooms, and a gym.  The children were then picked up by bus.
2 CONT In Sept. of 1939, Arnold made an appearance on the scene, so Dad had 
2 CONC another helper for his farming operation.  Our parents certainly never 
2 CONC had a dull moment with so many of us in the family; someone was always 
2 CONC getting into something.
2 CONT In the early yeras we would go to Saturday School at our Lutheran Church 
2 CONC where we learned some German reading and writing.  We also were taught 
2 CONC our catechism, Bible stories, and songs.
2 CONT Once we got home from school, there were many chores for everyone, such 
2 CONC as hauling water, wood, oil for the lamps, gathering eggs, cleaning 
2 CONC barns, milking cows, and many other chores.  We really didn't have much 
2 CONC time for play.  Our summers were also spent herding cows.  There weren't 
2 CONC many fences at that time so we had to pack lunches, and spend the day 
2 CONC keeping the cows in tow.
2 CONT When we did have some time for play we enjoyed playing ball, hide and 
2 CONC seek, cops and robbers, and making tree houses.  In the winter we would 
2 CONC sleigh ride and skate onthe slough.
2 CONT In the early 40's, Dad bought his first car which was and early 30's 
2 CONC Chevrolet.  It certainly was a treat to have our own vehicle.  Soon after 
2 CONC this Dad also got his first tracter - a John Deere - which was a real 
2 CONC boon to the farming operation.
2 CONT Then about 1943, our new two storey house was built.  Was it ever nice 
2 CONC toahve all the extra space.  Moving day was certainly exciting!
2 CONT In July 1944 another boby, Edwin, made his appearance.  We were all a 
2 CONC fair bit older so this baby was very exciting and had many sisters and 
2 CONC brothers to look after him.  Mom and Dad certainly enjoyed having him 
2 CONC around when the rest of the family left home.
2 CONT Dad's farming operation got bigger and better all the time.  With more 
2 CONC machinery and more land, farming was a little easier, and later on we got 
2 CONC running water in the house and power which came  to the area about 1952. 
2 CONC  This was truly a blessing.
2 CONT I remember the two highlights of the year.  The big Christmas concert the 
2 CONC teacher and pupils worked so hard to put on in the Meadowview Hall, then 
2 CONC on Christmas eve we got all bundled up for the trip to our church for the 
2 CONC children's Christmas program.  Waht excitement this was!  The tree looked 
2 CONC awesome with it's tinsel and it's candles burning.  Inthe early years we 
2 CONC went to church by horse and sleigh, so it was a cold trip.  The in the 
2 CONC summer there was the community picnic at the picnic grounds which was 
2 CONC also a treat as that is where we tasted our first ice cream and 
2 CONC watermelon.
2 CONT Also the excitement in the early years was going to the music festivals 
2 CONC and track meets which were held at Cherhill, Rochfort Bridge, and 
2 CONC Mayerthorpe.  It was a nice outing for us all.  I also remember our first 
2 CONC trip to the city in the back of a truck.  Our teacher, Mrs. Allen, took 
2 CONC us to many interesting places in the city.
2 CONT It didn't take long and we grew up, married, and moved on to another 
2 CONC phase of our lives.
2 CONT Eleanor married Jim Wharton of Shoal Creek in Nov., 1948.  They live in 
2 CONC Edmonton where Jim works for Canada Cement.  They have two children, 
2 CONC Marlene and Duane, and also five grandchildren.
2 CONT Evelyn married Art Klute in June, 1952.  Art was from the Edson area, and 
2 CONC they lived in Edson, Jasper, and now Edmonton, where Art works with the 
2 CONC CNR.  They have four children, Gayleen, Gary, Ken, and Wendy.  They also 
2 CONC have five grandchildren.
2 CONT Ruth married Fred Rolof from south of the Pembina River in Aug. 1954. 
2 CONC  They lived many years in Sangudo where Fred was administrator of the 
2 CONC county of Lac Ste. Anne, and now they live in Leduc where Fred is 
2 CONC administrator of Leduc County.  They have four children, Debbie, Rod, 
2 CONC Dawn, and Linda, and they also have five grandchildren.
2 CONT Herb married Lydia Dotzlof of Neerlandia in July 1962.  He is on a farm 
2 CONC near his home place.  They have three children, Darcy, Bradley, and 
2 CONC Tracy, who are all on their own now too.
2 CONT Arnold married Dawn Wilson of Meadowview area in Sept., 1962.  Thery are 
2 CONC on the home farm, NE 24-57-5-W5, and Arnold is also administrator of the 
2 CONC County of Lac Ste. Anne.  They have three children, Brenda, Dianne, and 
2 CONC Lindsey.  They enjoy living in the country.
2 CONT Edwin married Pryna Reinsberger of Lacombe in Aug., 1968.  Ed is 
2 CONC assistant administrator with the County of Lacombe.  They have tow 
2 CONC children, Vance, and Denise, who are active in sports.
2 CONT Dad certainly enjoyed his farming operation immensely until he became ill 
2 CONC in 1967, and passed away in Sept. of that year.
2 CONT He was quick witted and fun to be around.  He really enjoyed the 
2 CONC outdoors,fishing, and anything to do with sports, plus his love for God 
2 CONC and fellowman.
2 CONT Arnold and Dawn then took over the home farm and Mother moved to 
2 CONC Edmonton. She still enjoys her good health, her church and her family.
2 CONT The family gets together annually for a family picnic in the summer.  We 
2 CONC now number 54 in Jan. of 1988, so have certainly increased in size since 
2 CONC 1928.  Live has indeed been good to us, and we have been blessed with 
2 CONC lovely families and good health.

1 NOTE Koberstein, Gustav and Emilie (by son Robert Koberstein)
2 CONT I moved to Stewartfield with my parents Gustav and Emilie Koberstein, 
2 CONC sisters Elsie and Martha, and grandmother Seidlitz in the spring of 1931, 
2 CONC from Mellowdale, Alta. where my parents had farmed.
2 CONT I remember this move vividly.  Elsie and I sat on the horse-drawn rack 
2 CONC which was loaded with hay, and driven by Ed Dotzlaf.  Along with us were 
2 CONC a dog and her pups, and the family sewing machine.  Following behind were 
2 CONC the cattle driven by a man on horseback, and Ephraim Wegner on foot. 
2 CONC  Ephraim, (my future wife's uncle), walked the whole 25 miles, and after 
2 CONC eating, refused to stay the night with us.  He walked back to Mellowdale 
2 CONC that evening.  Following the cattle, Dad drove a wagon load of household 
2 CONC goods, then others followed with wagon loads of our belongings. 
2 CONC  Grandmother, Mother and baby Martha rode in fine style in fine style in 
2 CONC Wegner's car.
2 CONT We rented a quarter section across the road from the Stewartfield school, 
2 CONC and the other farm one mile further north.  I was in grade two then, and 
2 CONC we lived on the north quarter for three years.
2 CONT We then moved to the NW 31-57-5-W5, in Garden view, where the Lutheran 
2 CONC Church now stands.  There, in 1936, my brother Reiny was born.  Elsie 
2 CONC married Ed Ratz in Nov. 1937 and lived near us.
2 CONT In the 1930's, Father had one of the first grain binders in the district, 
2 CONC and cut grain for many farmers.  In those days they didn't have binders 
2 CONC of their own or many acres in crop.  We also had a threshing machine, and 
2 CONC threshed for others, sometimes a whole month or until it snowed.  The 
2 CONC work was hard, but the comradery of the men, and the fine food prepared 
2 CONC by the women always made this a favorite time of year for me.
2 CONT From 1932 to 1940, Father also had the contract to haul mail from 
2 CONC Stewartfield and Lawton post offices to Barrhead.  Twice a week, every 
2 CONC Tuesday and Friday, the mail had to go, come rain shine, snow or in -40 
2 CONC degree temperatures.  He received $2.25 for each trip.  At first horses 
2 CONC were used, then a truck.  It was a long, hard trip in the summer mud as 
2 CONC none of the roads were gravelled.  When it rained, chains had to be put 
2 CONC on the truck, and sometimes left on both ways.  We couldn't get intohigh 
2 CONC gear all the way to town, and the trip would take two or three hours each 
2 CONC way.  The winters weren't any better as the roads weren't plowed out in 
2 CONC those days.  Now, with gravelled roads, the miles pass swiftly by.  The 
2 CONC hills seem much smaller too, since they have been cut down and vehicles 
2 CONC have more power.
2 CONT We also hauled eggs and cream to Barrhead for people living along the 
2 CONC mail route.  Mother was sometimes asked to bring back a few groceries, 
2 CONC yard goods, clothing, or shoes for the children, as people did not get to 
2 CONC town very often.  It was amazing how Mother knew what size of clothing 
2 CONC and shoes to get.  They rarely had to be taken back for exchange.
2 CONT My buddy, Robert Ryks, and I made many trips togther, hauling grain by 
2 CONC sleigh to the Barrhead elevators - he with his team and I withours.  When 
2 CONC it was cold we walked more than we rode.
2 CONT Gustav and Emilie, moved to a farm one mile north of Barrhead in the fall 
2 CONC of 1944, where they farmed until retiring to Edmonton.  They had four 
2 CONC children.
2 CONT I, Robert, stayed on the home place at Gardenview until 1947, thenmoved 
2 CONC to a fram at Barrhead.  I married EvelynWegner on July 29, 1948.  After 
2 CONC several moves, we have lived in Hinton, Alta. for the past 27 years, 
2 CONC where I operate a grader for the pulp mill.
2 CONT We have six children.
2 CONT Shirley was born July 19, 1950 at Westlock, Alta.  She married Kenneth 
2 CONC Fuller and lives in Hinton.
2 CONT Allan was born June 2, 1951 at Westlock, and lives in Edmonton.
2 CONT Carol was born Oct. 22, 1952 at Edson, Alta.  She married Barry Boychuk 
2 CONC and lives in Sherwood Park, Alta.
2 CONT Kenneth was born April 5, 1954 at Mercoal, Alta.  He married Sheila 
2 CONC Stapleton and they live in Vermilion, Alta.
2 CONT Randy was born Mar. 1, 1958 at Mercoal, Alta.  He lives in Hinton.
2 CONT Elsie (see Ed Ratz story).
2 CONT Martha lives in Edmonton.
2 CONT Reiny lives in Barrhead.
2 CONT Grandmother, Karoline Seidlitz, always lived with Emilie and Gustav.  She 
2 CONC died Aug. 11, 1965 in Edmonton, at age 93.
2 CONT Emilie passed away Feb. 23, 1974, aged 72, and Gustav March 14, 1976 at 
2 CONC 81 years.

1 NOTE Rare genetic disorder not so uncommon 
2 CONT Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HHC).
2 CONT An uncommon name, but more common than people realize.
2 CONT That's the message Pryna Koberstein of Lacombe wants to get out.
2 CONT "One in 10 people are carriers and one in 300 are affected by it," said 
2 CONC Pryna, who is the Regional Coordinator for the Canadian Hemochromatosis 
2 CONC Society.
2 CONT Pryna and her husband, Ed, learned about the genetic disorder of iron 
2 CONC metabolism that causes the body to absorb and retain too much dietary 
2 CONC iron, when he was diagnosed with it 22 years ago.
2 CONT Back then, Ed was suffering with arthritis, a symptom of the little know 
2 CONC HHC. Doctors were treating him for seven years before it was discovered 
2 CONC his arthritis was actually caused by HHC. 
2 CONT Many doctors overlooked it because until only recently, physicians were 
2 CONC taught that HHC was extremely rare.
2 CONT If the condition is not discovered, the organs are damaged from too much 
2 CONC iron and it can become life threatening as the individual affected may 
2 CONC get Cirrhosis and liver cancer, congestive heart failure and diabetes.
2 CONT Ed, who is a Lacombe Town Councilor, was thankful his condition was 
2 CONC discovered when he was 48, but he says, ?a lot of damage had been done.?
2 CONT When he was first diagnosed with the condition, he already had cirrhosis 
2 CONC of the liver and doctors gave him only five years to live.
2 CONT "That was 22 years ago, so things have come a long way," said Ed.
2 CONT He also had to have both hips replaced.
2 CONT "If I hadn?t, I would not be walking today," he said.
2 CONT Before it was diagnosed, the condition caused him a lot of pain and 
2 CONC discomfort. 
2 CONT "I couldn?t sleep. I would toss and turn all night long and was extremely 
2 CONC fatigued all the time."
2 CONT HHC is a genetic disorder and in retrospect, Ed says he sees that both 
2 CONC his parents suffered from it, but it was diagnosed back then. His father 
2 CONC died in his 50s from pancreatic cancer and his mother of diabetes, both 
2 CONC symptoms of HHC.
2 CONT "When we think back very definitely they probably had it but it was never 
2 CONC diagnosed," said Ed.
2 CONT HCC is a recessive genetic disorder. It is not necessary for parents to 
2 CONC be suffering from it in order for their children to develop HHC. If 
2 CONC parents are both carriers then their children are at risk of developing 
2 CONC HHC.
2 CONT When Ed was diagnosed, Pryna says, ?our children were young and we were 
2 CONC concerned what it meant to them.?
2 CONT The two children underwent tests. Their daughter has the genes but does 
2 CONC not suffer from iron overload. Their son has both genes, and does suffer 
2 CONC from iron overload.
2 CONT "He caught it early enough, so he can live a normal life without any 
2 CONC damage," said Ed. ?If it's diagnosed early enough then you avoid all the 
2 CONC problems. If undiagnosed it?s fatal.?
2 CONT Because both children were found with the genes, that meant Pryna must 
2 CONC also be a carrier. She was tested and discovered to be a carrier 
2 CONC ,although not having the iron overload. 
2 CONT Treatment consists of the regular removal of blood (phlebotomy) by the 
2 CONC individual affected regularly giving blood. As the body makes new red 
2 CONC blood cells to replace the ones lost during phlebotomy, iron is pulled 
2 CONC out of storage from the organs, tissues and joints. Then, over time, the 
2 CONC body iron levels return to normal level and the person can live a normal 
2 CONC life without any complications.
2 CONT Ed is able to control HHC by blood donations every two months.
2 CONT But there are some activities he has had to abandon.
2 CONT "There's lots of things I can't do. The last couple years, I didn't golf 
2 CONC at all because it was not worth the agony afterwards, the arthritic 
2 CONC pain," said Ed.
2 CONT HHC is often called the silent killer because it is often overlooked as a 
2 CONC possible cause of death post mortem. It is most common in people of 
2 CONC Northern European, British and Irish descent and is caused by a gene 
2 CONC mutation.
2 CONT Symptoms include chronic fatigue, arthritis, liver problems, heart 
2 CONC irregularities, diabetes, abdominal pain, and shortness of breath. 
2 CONC Although it is not curable, early diagnosis can prevent the symptoms and 
2 CONC damage to vital organs, allowing the individual to have a normal life 
2 CONC span.
2 CONT May is Hemochromatosis Month in Canada. Anyone needing more information 
2 CONC can contact the Hemochromatosis Society at (604) 279-7135 or at 
2 CONC www.toomuchiron.ca. Or locally, they can call Pryna at 782-6010.
2 CONT Early detection is crucial and Ed says, "It's important that people push 
2 CONC their doctor for testing. It's a very simple blood test and will confirm 
2 CONC if there is an iron overload."

2 CONT Terry,
2 CONT 
2 CONT Many thanks for your reply.
2 CONT I am still amzed at the blazing speed with which we can communicate these 
2 CONC days.  Also, what type of info are you looking for for the Canadian 
2 CONC Koberstein's?
2 CONT 
2 CONT I am only familiar with my immediate family, but I know a fair bit about 
2 CONC them.  For instance, Juliana Koberstein, who is was the widow of Karl 
2 CONC Koberstein who fled from Poland to Canada around the war, sadly passed on 
2 CONC in February of 2000. This has left only second generation + Kobersteins 
2 CONC left in Alberta, at least in my immediate family.  Karl and Juliana had 
2 CONC sons Herb, Eddie, Arnold (my dad), and daughters Evelyn, Eleanor, and 
2 CONC Ruth.
2 CONT 
2 CONT All of the sons and daughters are still alive with their spouses.
2 CONT 
2 CONT As for their children, I am one of the youngest of the bunch and am 27. 
2 CONC Only Eddie's daughter Denise is a bit younger- around 24.
2 CONT 
2 CONT All of the sons and daughters of Karl and Juliana live in Alberta, and 
2 CONC all of their children also work and live in Alberta, to the best of my 
2 CONC knowledge.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Alberta is a crazy place to live right now. The economy is supposedly 
2 CONC second to none in the world right now, and it is true- if you can't find 
2 CONC a job, you are not looking.  But Alberta is also a resource rich 
2 CONC province- lots of oil and trees- and we are taking everything.

2 CONT  
2 CONT Holy cow, I don't know where the time went.  All of a sudden it is the 
2 CONC middle of March, and I talked to my Dad about this at Christmas. Dad said 
2 CONC that Robert (Shirley's Dad) is his cousin.  He would be Reinold 
2 CONC Koberstein's brother.  I don't know if you remember but my Grandpa Karl 
2 CONC and his brother Gus were married to sisters, Julianna Seidlitz, and I 
2 CONC can't recall but it is something like Emma or Amy Seidlitz.  Gus and his 
2 CONC wife would have been her grandparents.
2 CONT  
2 CONT Sorry for being so late with this info.  Hope all is well with you and 
2 CONC your family.

2 CONT Eighty years of making people feel welcome 
2 CONT Welcome Wagon Canada celebrates 80th anniversary of welcoming people to 
2 CONC new situations, serving their communities

2 CONT 
2 CONT Odds are, over our lifetimes, we have been, or will be, the 'new guy' in 
2 CONC a situation. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Whether new to the community, or the new parents on the block, it's 
2 CONC always nice to have someone stop along the way and make you feel welcome. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT And that's exactly what Welcome Wagon does - it makes you feel welcome 
2 CONC into the community, or into parenthood by bestowing not only an 
2 CONC informative visit, but a welcome goodie basket as well. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Lacombe is a wonderful community and when there are new people coming 
2 CONC into it, I like to be able to tell them what the town has to offer," said 
2 CONC Pryna Koberstein, a community welcome wagon representative in Lacombe. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Koberstein is one of three ladies who graciously give their time helping 
2 CONC newcomers feel at home. "It's a wonderful service for people that helps 
2 CONC meet their needs and the needs of the businesses involved."
2 CONT 
2 CONT As the local face of Welcome Wagon in Lacombe, Alta., Pryna Koberstein 
2 CONC has been busy lately hustling from home to home.
2 CONT In the waning days of summer, she visits newcomers at a rate of every 
2 CONC other day, in addition to keeping up with locals as they embrace new 
2 CONC babies. And that, she says of the community’s population boom, is “just 
2 CONC the tip of the iceberg.”
2 CONT The changes are happening fast. Koberstein has watched her hometown of 
2 CONC more than four decades transform from a small, central Alberta farming 
2 CONC community into a desirable, full-fledged city, part of an overall growth 
2 CONC corridor now stretching from Edmonton to Calgary. 
2 CONT “I have seen a shift from when I started [with Welcome Wagon] four years 
2 CONC ago from mostly seniors and retirees in the last year to mostly families 
2 CONC and career adults,” Ms. Koberstein said. 
2 CONT While some other small communities have struggled with population 
2 CONC declines and budgetary gaps sending them scurrying to the province for 
2 CONC dissolution or to their neighbours for amalgamation, Lacombe and a number 
2 CONC of similar Alberta communities have flourished. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Drawing on its agricultural roots as well the oil and gas industry that 
2 CONC surrounds it, the once tiny village named in 1896 after a French-Catholic 
2 CONC missionary grew large enough that in 2010, Lacombe was officially 
2 CONC christened with city status. It is now home to almost 13,000 people and 
2 CONC is growing by a steady 2- to 3-per-cent annually, according to city 
2 CONC officials.

2 CONT Every so often I seem to wander back to this sight and it's always nice 
2 CONC to see some familiar names providing updates on their whereabouts and the 
2 CONC goings-on in their life. As for me, after having spent 2 1/2 years with 
2 CONC ATB Financial, I made the move this September to Mount Royal College here 
2 CONC in Calgary. I'm employed as a Work Experience Coordinator for the 
2 CONC Bachelor of Applied Financial Services Degree program. I help students 
2 CONC prepare for their work terms, market the program to potential employers 
2 CONC and liase between faculty, employers, and students. Very rewarding and 
2 CONC enjoyable to this point. On a personal note, I'm still single (shocking, 
2 CONC I know, to those who remember my antics way back when ;) Was with a girl 
2 CONC for three years up until this past February and came real close to poping 
2 CONC the question, but in the end it just wasn't the right fit and we've gone 
2 CONC our separate ways. Anyway, as always, I'd love to hear from anyone I 
2 CONC spent time with at Augustana - it was truly a memorable time in my life. 
2 CONC Take care all.

2 CONT Reiny's Roast - 1989
2 CONT Leading by example is his style
2 CONT "It may not have been all of your life but it was certainly a big part of 
2 CONC your life, we just want you to know that everyone here in this room is 
2 CONC here because they appreciate what you have done over the last 20 years, 
2 CONC for being a part of their lives and your contribution to hockey and the 
2 CONC community of Barrhead."  Les Harris, Master of Cerimonies
2 CONT 
2 CONT For the past 20 years, junior hockey and Reiny Koberstein have gone hand 
2 CONC in hand in Barrhead.  That is no longer the case.
2 CONT The only coach the Barrhead Jr. Elks have ever known retired on Wednesday 
2 CONC night to a life of curling in the winter, golf in the summer and weekends 
2 CONC spent with his grandchildren rather than on a school bus with 20 hockey 
2 CONC players.
2 CONT His personality and enthusiasm for the youth of Barrhead will be missed 
2 CONC at the Barrhead Arena.  Men with his dedication are hard to find, we in 
2 CONC Barrhead were lucky that Reiny Koberstein found us.
2 CONT In the grand scale of things, a hockey coach doesn't rate very high.
2 CONT But Reiny Koberstein is different.  He is different becasue he didn't 
2 CONC just build hockey players, he built young men.
2 CONT Many of those players are now the leaders of this communitity, they took 
2 CONC that strong work ethic and that dedication and they built solid lives for 
2 CONC themselves.
2 CONT Reiny, you and your cowboy hat will be missed at the Barrhead Arena.  We 
2 CONC hope you get as much enjoyment out of your retireent and your 
2 CONC grandchildren as you have provided the sports fans of Barrhead for the 
2 CONC past 20 years.

2 CONT THE KOBERSTEIN FAMILY
2 CONT In the winter of 1944, Gus and Emilie Koberstein purchased the south half 
2 CONC of section 32-59, then known as the Frizzell farm or homestead.  The big 
2 CONC flood, in the spring of 1944 and the matter of school, changed the 
2 CONC family's move to the fall time.  Then, the family of Gus and Emilie, 
2 CONC along with their two youngest children, Martha and Reiny, moved the farm 
2 CONC near Barrhead.  An older son, Robert, stayed on the family homestead in 
2 CONC the Meadowview District.  An older married daughter, Elsie and her 
2 CONC husband, Ed Ratz, and their family moved from their Gardenview farm to 
2 CONC the farm in the manola area in the same year.  Grandma Seidlitz came to 
2 CONC live with the family in 1948 when Robert married.  She stayed until 1959 
2 CONC when she moved to Edmonton with Gus and Emilie.  She died in 1965 at the 
2 CONC age of ninety-two.
2 CONT Martha, upon graduation from the Barrhead High School in 1949, left her 
2 CONC family to pursue a business career.  She has resided in Edmonton for many 
2 CONC years where she works in the laboratory for the Royal Canadian Mounted 
2 CONC Police in the K-Division.
2 CONT Gus and Emilie retired in 1959 from farming and moved to Edmonton where 
2 CONC Emilie passed away in 1974 and Gus in 1976.
2 CONT Reiny graduated frm high school in 1955 and worked out for a couple of 
2 CONC years.  When hisparents retired, he and his young wife, Alma Schmidt, 
2 CONC took over the farm and have operated it ever since.  They added the 
2 CONC southeast quarter of section 33 to their farm in 1961 and in 1970, 
2 CONC purchased the northwest quarter of section 32 from Russel Cook to enlarge 
2 CONC the farming operation.
2 CONT Reiny and Alma had four children.  Alma passed away in 1987 after a long 
2 CONC battle with cancer.  Their oldest, son, Don, with his wife, Mona Van 
2 CONC Etten and their two small children - Wade and Mallory, live with Reiny.
2 CONT The eldest daughter, Beverly, with her husband, Jim Gottschalk and their 
2 CONC two small chldren - David and Nicole, lived in Barrhead wher Jim is a 
2 CONC Carpenter.
2 CONT The younger son, Brian, is currently taking his Master's Degree in 
2 CONC Agricultural Engineering at the University in Edmonton.
2 CONT Tracy, the youngest in the family, is also at the university taking her 
2 CONC second year in Education majoring in Speech Pathology.
2 CONT All of the family have been very active in the community throughout the 
2 CONC forty-five years they have lived in the district.  Gus played in the Town 
2 CONC of Barrhead Band for many years.  He also operated a threshing crew with 
2 CONC neighbours for a long time.  Reiny and Alma both belonged to the Kinsmen 
2 CONC and Kinette Clubs.  They served many years on church executives in St. 
2 CONC John's Lutheran Church in Barrhead.  Alma taught Play School for many 
2 CONC years and Reiny coached hockey, Junior Elks, for twenty years.  Reiny 
2 CONC enjoyed playing hockey baseball and curling.  All four children graduated 
2 CONC from high school with near honors and were active in various sports such 
2 CONC as swimming, ball and hockey.
2 CONT There have been few changes in the shape of the farm.  A twelve acre 
2 CONC parcel in the northeast corner of the SE32 was sold to Karl Miller in the 
2 CONC late forties.  This later became the home of the present owners, Jim and 
2 CONC Leona Stocking and family.  A four acre parcel in the southeast corner of 
2 CONC the SE32 was sold by Gus Koberstein in 1953 to Parsons Brothers 
2 CONC Auctioneering.  Today, it is still the home site of the Barrhead Auction 
2 CONC Mart.
2 CONT A one acre lot was sold to Superior Propane in 1971 by Reiny and 
2 CONC currently occupied by a used car lot.

1 NOTE Nikolas Koberstein sets sights on Alaska for 2015-16
2 CONT Barrhead teenager to further education and hockey career in US
2 CONT Apr 22, 2014 06:00 am | By Marcus Day | The Barrhead Leader
2 CONT Nikolas Koberstein’s professional hockey ambitions have received another 
2 CONC big boost.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Just months after he joined Olds Grizzlys in the Alberta Junior Hockey 
2 CONC League (AJHL), the Barrhead teenager has been accepted to the University 
2 CONC of Alaska Fairbanks for the 2015-16 season.
2 CONT 
2 CONT The Alaska offer was one of many he received in his efforts to further 
2 CONC his education and hockey career.
2 CONT 
2 CONT It means he will follow in the footsteps of former Grizzlys Ian Perkins, 
2 CONC Jim Lawrence, Darcy Campbell and others who have gone to Fairbanks.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Grizzlys head coach Brett Hopfe said he could not be more thrilled for 
2 CONC Nik.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “Nik has had many generous offers to move on to the next level and has 
2 CONC chosen UAF, which is a great school with a brand new state of the art 
2 CONC dressing room,” he said.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Hopfe said the Grizzlys had been happy to help Nik develop into a force 
2 CONC for the Alaska Nanooks.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “With Nik’s skill set and work ethic I would not be surprised to see him 
2 CONC playing at the professional level when his time with UAF is done,” he 
2 CONC said.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He added that the Grizzly organization wanted to congratulate Nikolas and 
2 CONC his family on the teenager’s latest accomplishment.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Nikolas was one of 13 players to make commitment to Division 1 programs 
2 CONC since the league held its AJHL showcase last September in Spruce Grove.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “It’s fantastic,” Nikolas said of the exposure in the AJHL. “There’s 
2 CONC always people watching you, every game. The showcase was crazy. You 
2 CONC couldn’t really let it distract you because you wanted to play your best, 
2 CONC but there were a ton of schools watching.”
2 CONT 
2 CONT A 17-year-old rookie in the AJHL, Nikolas has adjusted well, leading 
2 CONC Grizzlys’ defensemen in scoring. Immediately after the showcase he was in 
2 CONC contact with multiple schools, but a visit from Alaska head coach Dallas 
2 CONC Ferguson clinched it for him.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “He showed a lot of interest, and my family and I really liked him,” said 
2 CONC Nikolas. “He’s a Western Canadian guy, a farm boy, just like me. When he 
2 CONC came down to visit it just felt right.”
2 CONT 
2 CONT For Nikolas, who attended a College Hockey Inc. summit in Spruce Grove 
2 CONC two years ago, college hockey has always been a goal, even after being 
2 CONC drafted in the seventh round by the Western Hockey League’s Regina Pats 
2 CONC in 2011.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “I tried to keep all my options open,” he said. “Schooling has always 
2 CONC been important to me, and it makes sense to pursue it while playing 
2 CONC hockey at such a high level.”
2 CONT 
2 CONT In February, Nikolas was flown up to Fairbanks for a couple of days to 
2 CONC meet the players, see the campus and watch a game.
2 CONT 
2 CONT “He was totally excited,” said Nikolas’s father, Brian.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In March, Nikolas had another reason to celebrate: he was named in the 
2 CONC 2013-14 Reebok AJHL League teams and CCM AJHL All-Rookie teams.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He was selected for the CCM South Division All-Rookie team.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Nikolas also made news when he was picked to play in the 2013 Canadian 
2 CONC Junior Hockey League (CJHL) Prospects Games in Nova Scotia, an event 
2 CONC created to showcase 40 of the top National Hockey League prospects in the 
2 CONC CJHL
2 CONT 
2 CONT The Prospects Games – hosted for a second straight year by Digby and 
2 CONC Yarmouth – were held in conjunction with the 2013 World Junior A 
2 CONC Challenge in Yarmouth. Player selection for the games is a joint 
2 CONC initiative of the CJHL and NHL Central Scouting. The 6 ft. 2 in., 185 lb. 
2 CONC Nikolas was one of three AJHL players chosen.
2 CONT 
2 CONT It was on June 1, 2013, that Barrhead-raised Nikolas signed a one-year 
2 CONC contract with the Grizz, who compete in the southern division of the 
2 CONC AJHL.
2 CONT 
2 CONT His decision was based on a belief that it would help him go to a U.S. 
2 CONC college and experience top-level coaching. News that he is Alaska-bound 
2 CONC has vindicated that decision.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Over the last few years the former Barrhead Composite High School 
2 CONC student’s hockey star has shone brilliantly.
2 CONT 
2 CONT In 2009 he joined the Spruce Grove PAC Saints’ ‘AAA’ bantam team, ending 
2 CONC the 2010/11 season with a record of four goals and 19 assists for 23 
2 CONC points through 28 games.
2 CONT 
2 CONT On May 5, 2011, he was drafted in the seventh round by the Regina Pats of 
2 CONC the Western Hockey League and last season he played for St. Albert 
2 CONC Raiders.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Going to Alaska will broaden more than Nik’s sporting horizons.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Alaska is a U.S. state in the northwest extremity of the North American 
2 CONC continent. Bordering the state is Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to 
2 CONC the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west.
2 CONT 
2 CONT One of Alaska’s landmarks is Mount McKinley, which is 20,320 ft. above 
2 CONC sea level, making it the highest peak in North America. Other features 
2 CONC include the 2,000-mile long Yukon River, an estimated 100,000 glaciers, 
2 CONC 6,640 miles of coastline, and more than 70 potentially active volcanoes.
2 CONT 
2 CONT According to the official Alaska state website, many visitors have 
2 CONC pleasant surprises in store: weather, road conditions and prices are 
2 CONC better than many think.
2 CONT 
2 CONT During summer, for instance, average daytime temperatures range from the 
2 CONC 60s to the 90s. Motorists are also relieved to discover that almost the 
2 CONC entire length of the Alaska Highway is asphalt-surfaced, and about half 
2 CONC of the roads in the state’s highway system are paved.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Contrary to popular belief, prices in the state are generally reasonable.
