Michelle Pinon News Advertiser It is said that photography has the power to freeze a moment in time, immortalizing people, places, and events for the learning and pleasure of future generations. While that is true, it also applies to current generations, as illustrated in the exhibit of the historic 1978 Royal tour captured by photographer Orest Semchishen that is currently on display in the Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare courtesy of Kyler Zeleny.

Zeleny is a photographer, educator and author. Born in 1988, Zeleny grew up in Mundare. Similarly, Semchishen was born in 1932 in Mundare.

A radiologist by training, Semchishen was an avid and accomplished photographer. According to the exhibit statement, “In the 1960s, he (Semchishen) turned that same probing eye toward the Alberta landscape, communities, and cultures. Over the following decades, he would become one of the Canadian prairies’ most pro-

Stolen Vehicle Arrests Linked to Church Fire Smoky Lake RCMP Submitted

On Sept. 21, 2025, Smoky Lake RCMP received calls regarding one attempted and one successful vehicle theft. The suspects left the area together in two separate vehicles. RCMP members responded, located the vehicles, that were driving erratically, and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicles fled and a Tire Deflation Device was deployed on the suspect vehicle. The vehicle steered towards a police car and rammed it, with a suspect deploying bear mace in an attempt to escape. The stolen vehicle fled the scene while the suspect vehicle eventually stopped, with suspects fleeing on foot. Alberta RCMP Police Dog Services and Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) members were deployed, assisting in locating and arresting three suspects, one of which was a youth.

As a result of the investigation, Sandy Dawn Marie White (23) and Lazare Favel (26), both Saddle Lake First Nations, Alta., residents, were arrested and charged with: • Flight from Police • Dangerous operation of motor vehicle; • Mischief under $5000; • Assault police with weapon; • Break and enter; • Arson; • Possession of break-in tools; • Possession of property obtained by crime under $5000; and • Mischief to cultural property.

Favel and White were brought before a justice of the peace.

Favel was remanded into custody and is to appear before the Alberta Court of Justice in Fort Saskatchewan on Sept. 25, 2025, while White was released on conditions to appear before the same court on Oct. 23, 2025.

“We are saddened to see a nearly century-old cultural building destroyed in such a manner” said Sgt. Anita Doktor, Detachment Commander of the Smoky Lake RCMP. “We believe in preserving our history, no matter our beliefs, and want to highlight the fact that this is not something that should take place within our communities. We want to thank the surrounding detachments, as well as Alberta RCMP PDS, RPAS and FIS members for assisting in this investigation.”

Smoky Lake RCMP then started receiving reports of a fire in Bellis that ultimately destroyed a local church. According to Firestorm, who attended the scene, an accelerant was likely used. Upon further investigation, items found in the suspect vehicle led officers to link the church fire to the individuals involved in the vehicle theft. RCMP believes there is at least one more suspect that has yet to be identified or arrested.

Death and taxes. Two things no one likes or likes to talk about and two things we spend our entire life trying to avoid.

Many Canadians know about “Tax Freedom Day.” In Canada, this is the day the average Canadian family would have paid all their taxes for the year if every dollar made was paid up front. In 2025 that day was June 8.

The phrase “nothing is certain except death and taxes” was popularized by Benjamin Franklin in an 1789 letter, but earlier versions existed, with the earliest known use appearing in Christopher Bullock’s 1716 work, The Cobbler of Preston. The idiom refers to the unavoidable nature of both mortality and taxation, with Franklin’s famous usage solidifying its place in American culture.

Surprising to almost no Canadian, our government has found a way to tax us not only in life, but also in death. They have one hand in your pocket and another hand in your coffin.

Last week, CTV’s Pat Foran reported on the story of a family in Ontario who, while dealing with loss (the death part) were issued a tax bill by the CRA. It tells a tail of how our tax system works with a touch of caution.

Within the span of 11 months, the family first lost their

mother and then their father. The couple was described as “middle class” and hard workers and savers. They saved up to buy a cottage and, like many Canadians, they tucked away money into their RRSPs to supplement their pensions during retirement.

However, due to the timing and lack of tax planning (It’s hard to plan for people dying young) they became another tale of caution in the long list of those left in the wake of the CRA. As you should know, money you put in an RRSP is “tax deferred.”

This means that you don’t pay any taxes until you start making withdrawals from your RRSP. The plan is that by the time you start taking out money in your retirement years, you will be in a lower income bracket and the taxes you DO pay will be lower at that time.

In this family’s situation, the first death (their mother) triggered the first spouse’s RRSP to get rolled into the father’s RRSP. When their father passed, the taxes became due and the children were hit with a bill from the CRA for more than $600,000 which all but wiped out the money their parents had saved. There are more details to the story, including a dispute on capital gains but that is the gist of it.

As I said, no one likes taxes. While we feel out tax burden is high, it’s by far from the highest globally. Rough estimates put us around 11th place with a tax burden of 45% whereas in Belgium which holds first place, has people working until August (a tax burden of 54%) before they get to keep their money.

We COULD give up some things for lower taxes, but that may mean we only complain about something else like health insurance vs taxes. Ultimately, I think it’s less about taxes and more about waste. With strikes impacting people across the country, we should be looking at HOW we are spending the money, not just how much.

PM Mark Carney has stated that Canada Post in its current form is unsustainable. Today (well up to last week), the crown corporation was losing $10 million every day. In places like healthcare and education, we need to ask if we really need more middle managers with 6-figure incomes and fat pensions, or if that money is best spent on improving results. Families, small businesses and farms all have to watch how they spend their money. Why not entities funded by our tax dollars.

Studies have shown that higher spending doesn’t always lead to better system performance. We should learn from those countries obtaining better results with the same or less spending and find more value. We are already guaranteed death and taxes. It would be nice to also get a guarantee of value for our money while we are still alive.

90 Years Ago – October 2, 1935

A scientist in Germany has perfected a telescope without a lens.

The new telescope magnifies 8,500 times, solely by the use of cathode rays.

Cutting grain in Whitford is about over and what is uncut is not worth the labor. Wheat is badly frozen and is intermixed with wild oats to a great extent. Many fields sown to wheat have only a fine crop of wild oats to a great extent. The oats will feed the Hungarian partridges during the winter.

Jack McGillis, who has been a relieving agent at Lavoy C.N.R. depot, is leaving shortly and will be replaced by Walter Bryant, a former resident of Lavoy.

The hospital in Willingdon is coming along very nicely and one may see many visitors looking over the new structure. The building is a very moderate one and in the very latest style. When completed, it will be a beauty and will certainly add to the appearance of the town.

Threshing is pretty general in the vicinity of Willingdon and the grain is starting to come in. Elevator men report that the grades are pretty low in view of the fact that wheat is badly frozen.

75 Years Ago – October 4, 1950

Announcement has been made that John H. Blackburn of Edmonton has been appointed to the advisory council of the New York Life Insurance Company as representative thereon of all of Canada and the north-western United States. The advisory council has twelve members. Mr. Blackburn was a one-time resident of Vegreville district. He served in the Great War with the RAF and in 1948 was the winner of the Webster Memorial Trophy, emblematic of the amateur aviation championship of Canada.

The first women’s magazine published in the United States was Ann Stephens, who published the Portland Magazine from 1835 – 37.

Oil production in the Lloydminster field amounted to approximately 172,188 barrels during August, or roughly an average of 5,554 barrels a day, according to a preliminary report of the Lloydminster Petroleum Association. It was learned from the report the net total refinery deliveries for the first seven months of 1950 amounted to 1,072,140 barrels, of which 589,861 barrels had been produced in Saskatchewan and 482,279 in Alberta.

A quick-freeze, storage, and fish-filleting plant is under construction at nearby Cold Lake. It will be a great help to fishermen throughout a wide area.

50 Years Ago – October 2, 1975

Raydon Motors Ltd. is currently undergoing an expansion of its business with a building addition of around 20,000 square feet.

Last week, the old parts department was being torn down.

Formerly known as Thomas Garage, the old building was originally constructed in 1928. This building was not renovated because it was beyond repair.

This year’s grain yield is close to above average, stated United Grain Grower’s agent Myron Humeniuk in a recent interview. Last year, the yield was below average due to poor weather conditions, and this year’s is better, he added. Continuing, he stated that 100 percent of the grain has been swathed with about 75% combined.

A twenty-two-year-old man has been charged with possession of stolen property. A man took a diamond ring valued at around $500.00 from General Watch and Clock Ltd. located at 5118-50 St. The Proprietor of the store, Mike Gnyra pursued the suspect, stopped him, and notified the RCMP. A new students’ union was elected recently at the Vegreville Composite High School. The new executive is comprised of Secretary Rose Lynkowski, President Annette Stefancik, Vice President Colette Wilde, and Treasurer Barbara Giebelhaus.

25 Years Ago – October 3, 2000

Telus Charity Chili Challenge was won by Rick Rutter of the TD Bank and received the trophy from judge Jim Gamlin. The FCSS team of Donna Williams and Dawn Orchison were one of over 20 business and corporate teams to participate in the event.

Jocelyn Hryniw, Account Manager, Personal Banking, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, celebrated a 25 year milestone with the Vegreville branch and received a watch from branch manager Leona Burbank.

Mundare resident Ken Gulevich and his team hope to hold on to his title of chicken wing eating champions at this year’s Wing Ding X contest, to be held at Red’s in Edmonton.

Three members of the Kinsmen and Kinette Clubs of Vegreville were given life memberships at the clubs Millennium Celebrations.

Ottawa’s Civil Service Needs a Chrétien-Style Reset Renaud Brossard Troy Media

Ottawa’s civil service needs a Chrétien-style reset If Carney followed Chrétien’s lead, he could cut 64,000 jobs and save $10 billion a year They say bureaucracy grows to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

That certainly seems to be Ottawa’s motto these days, with the number of federal civil servants swelling by more than 100,000 over the past decade.

As the bureaucracy grew, so did the resources it devoured and the burden it dumped on the federal budget. If the Carney government is serious about tackling its spending problem, it has no choice but to shrink the civil service. To its credit, the government has already signalled this may be coming, with Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne directing ministries earlier this month to cut program spending by 7.5 per cent in 2026-27, with deeper cuts to follow.

Payroll tells the story. When Justin Trudeau came to power in 2015, Ottawa was spending about $39.6 billion on employee compensation. Last year, that figure hit $71.1 billion—a staggering 79.5 per cent jump in nine years.

Numbers that big are hard to picture, so here’s what they mean: $71.1 billion equals roughly $1,700 per Canadian, or about $7,000 for a family of four.

That’s a lot of money. Given those costs, Canadians are right to ask whether they’re getting anything close to value. The answer, judging by opinion surveys, is no.

Passport lines still snake around the block. Clearing customs at the airport remains a test of endurance.

And if you dare call the Canada Revenue Agency, pack a lunch, you’ll be on hold long enough to need it.

For all the extra spending, everyday frustrations

remain the same.

If all that spending hasn’t delivered better results, it’s a flashing neon sign that resources are being wasted. The civil service is a prime candidate for cuts that could be made with little, if any, impact on the quality or speed of services Canadians actually receive.

The average compensation for a full-time federal job is now around $150,000 a year. That includes salary, taxpayer-funded pension contributions, and a generous menu of benefits.

By contrast, the average Canadian earns about $60,000—the same taxpayer footing the bill—and the inequity speaks for itself.

The problem isn’t just the cost but the culture. In the private sector, businesses constantly ask whether jobs are necessary and whether people can be redeployed. In government, the tendency is to keep hiring, with little scrutiny of whether those positions are truly needed.

Yet there is precedent for Ottawa getting serious about reform. In the 1990s, Jean Chrétien’s government undertook a sweeping review that eliminated more than 17 per cent of federal positions.

If the Carney government followed that model, it could trim about 64,000 taxpayer-funded jobs and save at least $10 billion a year.

With Ottawa projected to run a deficit of over $40 billion this year, one of the largest structural deficits outside of the pandemic years, Canadians should expect—no, demand—an equally ambitious review.

Vision Credit Union Serves Up Hearty Harvest Meal

We see profit sharing.

Pictured from left to right: Amanda Mortensen, Art Micklich, Lydia Pawliuk, Matthew Micklich, Maury Micklich, Karlee Symmington, and Val Kuzmik. (Vision Credit Union/Submitted Photo)

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser A new initiative, launched by the Vegreville Branch of Vision Credit Union has received a warm and gracious reception from local producers.

“This year, we launched our Harvest Meal Initiative here in Vegreville,” stated Amanda Mortensen, Member Service Representative. “The idea was simple: to bring warm, hearty meals directly to our members and their families while they were hard at work harvesting.

We offered a selection of meals that members could choose from, with the option of having them delivered right to the field or picked up at the branch.”

Mortensen said they teamed up with Prime Cuts Meat & Deli and the Vegreville Co-op to supply meat and buns for the meals.

She admits, “True to farm life, we got off to a bit of a late start – but, just like harvest itself, sometimes things run behind schedule. Despite the late start, the response was incredible. Families were grateful for a hot meal and the thought behind it, and we were reminded once again of the strength and generosity in our community.

We didn’t charge anything for the meals, but we did invite donations to the Vegreville Christmas Bureau, an organization close to many hearts in our community. The generosity shown by our members will help brighten the holiday season for families in need.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to plan this initiative earlier so we can reach even more members and families next year.

Agriculture will always be at the core of who we are at VISION Credit Union, and finding ways like this to give back to our farm families is just one small way we can say “thank you” for all you do.

Jeny & Phil see a way to pay it forward.

This is Jeny and Phil, owners of the Twin Butte General Store, which has a post office, general store, music venue, restaurant and smokehouse. In 2024, they got $1028 in profit shares, which they spent on a holiday for their staff. Last year, they went to Mexico; the year before, Cuba. Jeny says they like to reward their team. She also says they’re not hiring right now. (We asked.)

Guidance for Newcomers

News Correspondent

People were able to find out about immigration updates and how to navigate major changes at the Newcomer Workshop Series at Vegreville Centennial Library on September 24.

The speaker was the Manager of Small Centres Actions for Healthy Communities Lisa DeGara, who has a partnership with VegMin Learning Society and Kalyna Family Resource Network to host these workshops.

DeGara explained that they host these workshops in Vegreville, because there has been a growing community of newcomers arriving in the town, and they come from all different countries in the world, with all different immigration statuses; some people arrive as permanent residents, some people come as temporary workers and students, and there are Ukrainians who come through the Canada Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program.

DeGara went on to say that what they noticed is that small communities have been very welcoming in bringing these people in as part of their social fabric. But newcomers have needs

that are unique to their circumstances.

These workshops are an opportunity for newcomers and providers in the community to learn about services and what supports are available.

The main learning that participants gained from the Immigration Updates workshop was on the changes made to Canada’s Immigration policy quite recently, in October and November of 2024. There were many significant changes made to our temporary resident programs. There are significant reductions to the number of international students allowed to come to Canada, as well as reductions in the number of temporary workers who can come to Canada. There are also new rules and restrictions around new temporary workers, and a change in the process for transitioning to permanent

residency. So far, fewer people can transition from temporary to permanent residency, as would have been true three or four years ago.

“So what we hope to do in these sessions is make these complex and emerging issues and changes, and put them in a context that is accessible for our newcomers to understand, and allow them to ask questions, and find the context around that information.”

Lisa DeGara. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

The other sessions will be Pathways to Growth: Career and Learning Opportunities. This will help to support people in building their career or a career in Canada. “There are lots of reasons why language is a challenge, but so is credential recognition. How do we support people in getting those credentials recognized or building up the language skills so they can participate at that critical level?

The goal is to help people understand how they can build a career in Canada with the post-secondary skills they already have, or learn about educational or career-building opportunities in Canada.

The Money Matters session is about having conversations about money.

Let’s Talk session will be a chance to give participants an opportunity to talk about things that they didn’t have a chance to ask. It will be open-ended with questions,” DeGara added.

My background in science helps me to be analy cal and examine ma ers in detail. During an earlier campaign I stated that Vegreville's popula on was not growing, declining from a high of 5906 in 2009 to 5833 in 2012; and it dipped to 5754 in 2020 following the closure of the Case Processing Center.

In response to surveys, Vegreville residents said they wanted a vibrant community, and more focus on growth, quality of life, and recrea on. The Town needed to adopt a new image, rebrand and move forward. Council and administra on has worked hard promo ng Vegreville to the world as “Open for business.” And it's working. Vegreville reached a new popula on high of 6109 in 2024 and is growing. That's a 5.91% increase in the past five

years, ahead of many communi es and on par with some larger centers.

Band Giv’R Rocks

News Correspondent

A lively crowd of 74 whistled, cheered, and danced the night away to the energetic performance of A Night of Canadian Classic Rock featuring Rock Tribute Band Giv’R at RCL Branch No. 39 Hall on September 27.

The evening kicked off with cocktails and a scrumptious supper of chicken, meatballs, salads, and more, catered by Diane Fausak and Crew.

Laureta Blondin shared that the meal was delicious. The chicken was tender and tasty, and the salads were made with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Lead guitar player and singer Orest Zmyndak said they are based in Edmonton, and the unique thing about this group is that they are all over 70.

Bandmate Don Myles plays drums and does backup vocals, and Danny Coady is the veteran bass player and also performs vocals.

Orest grew up in Edmonton, Danny in Montreal, and Don in New Brunswick.

Orest did a lot of singing at concerts as a kid. In high school, he was paid to be a singer in bands; he didn’t play the guitar then.

Orest then retired from playing for 32 years after he got married. He decided to form this band because after his children grew up, a bandmate contacted him who Orest played with in the 70s, and asked if he wanted to start up something, and he agreed.

His favorite part about performing is that they do all Canadian music, and he loves seeing the expression on the audience’s faces as they reflect on another time and the memories this music brings back.

I'm running because I care deeply about Vegreville, and I believe our community deserves the most thoughtful, balanced, and representative council possible.

With the number of candidates running, it's clear that the next council will include both experienced leaders and new voices. These individuals will be the ones making decisions that shape the future of Vegreville.

I represent the future - a future homeowner, a future parent, a future volunteer. I'm not just thinking about tomorrow—I'll be living it, alongside so many others in my generation.

Growing Community in Smoky Lake Michelle Pinon News Advertiser

An initiative aimed at addressing the critical housing shortage in the Town of Smoky Lake has met with success, so much so that it has received special recognition from the province.

The municipality recently received the 2025 Minister’s Award for Municipal and Public Library Excellence in the category of red tape reduction or service delivery enhancement in a community under 10,000 population.

Growing Our Community: Development Streamlining Initiative was the title of the plan designed to address the housing shortage and accelerate residential growth. One of the big milestones was the hiring a dedicated full time development officer. Having one point of direct contact who could personally assist applicants from start to finish helped strengthen communication and coordination, offer quicker turnaround times for approval of development permit applications.

Development Officer Pam Routhier started in that position in 2024. Routheir stated that, “By having a development officer as an employee, the application process was simplified with having one person to contact and deal with applications. Also allowed for in-person meetings, better customer service, etc. This also meant timelines were reduced for development permit approvals. Although the MGA gives 40 days to make a decision on a permit, the Development Officer for the Town typically has a notice of

An online permit platform was also developed with positive, measurable results.

Routhier noted that, “The Town sold municipally owned residential lots (18 total) in 2023 and 2024 at a reduced rate with timelines for development. Most of the lots are serviced lots, but not all.

Updates for Sunshine Club

Rosanne Fortier

News Correspondent

An afternoon of information on activities and the board’s decisions was presented to 60 attendees during the Senior Citizens Sunshine Club of Vegreville’s Semi-Annual Attendees enjoying the lunch.

(Rosanne Fortier/Photo) Meeting on September 24.

President of SCSCV Carlene Wheeler chaired the meeting.

Guest, Recreational Therapist Tricia/Trish Bodnar provided information about caregivers’ support from Caregivers, Alberta, senior programming, and caregiving resources for seniors, as well as respite care. “I would like to see a place where caregivers could bring their loved ones to a supportive environment where they can do a variety of recreational activities geared towards seniors,” Bodnar shared.

Bodnar went on to express that they also want to help caregivers find activities to keep seniors engaged in their home and help seniors navigate websites.

After this, Construction Manager for Complete Care Restoration, Terry Lehman said when they were doing the renovations on the centre, they had to shut down the place for safety reasons. After a month and a half, they had all the necessary repairs in place. “The only thing I don’t like is the curling floor. We have to address it. After your curling function, we need to reseal it.”

Mayor of Vegreville Tim MacPhee spoke on the plans for the lot that was sold south of the centre and stated that, as of now, they have no development permit pulled on that property. “The builder who wanted to build there put a down payment on the land has asked for an extension.”

MacPhee also said that housing is a big need in this town, as we now have a population of 6,200.

Wheeler went on to express their gratitude to Complete Care Restoration Services for providing funds for the free barbecue lunch at the beginning of the meeting, as well as donating time and funds when repairing the centre.

Wheeler reported that everything is back on track at their club, they would love to see more volunteers participating in their programs and events, and joining the various committees. “Please bring a friend, get them signed up to be a member. “We have a very active club, and we welcome everybody to it. There has been a tremendous

amount of work done on this building, but you can’t see it, as it is between the ceiling and the rooftop. Over the summer, many volunteers and members of the club came in to devote their time to cleaning up and making sure everything was running right, even when our building was shut down.”

Attendees were then informed of the past and upcoming projects, bylaws, and activities completed and planned by the various committees.

One notable change is that they hired a custodian who comes in twice a week.

There will be a Senior Savour Series starting on October 1, which is a program where seniors can come in to cook and connect.

Alberta Crop Report

Government of Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation

Crop conditions as of September 23, 2025

Harvest across the province continued to advance this past week, with isolated showers in many areas having minimal impact on field operations. Warm and dry conditions remained, allowing producers to make substantial progress and bringing the provincial harvest of major crops to 77 per cent complete. This represents an 18 per cent increase over the

previous week, positioning the current pace well ahead of the 5-year average of 68 per cent and the 10-year average of 54 per cent. Harvest progress for all crops varies by region, with the South leading at 84 per cent, followed by the North West at 80 per cent, the Peace region at 78 per cent, the North East at 77 per cent and the Central region at 72 per cent (see Table 1). With the harvest now in its advanced phase, producers note the importance of receiving significant precipitation to restore soil moisture reserves for the next growing season before the ground begins to freeze.

Harvest of winter wheat, fall rye, dry peas, and lentil crops are now virtually complete, while 92 per cent of durum crops has been harvested. Most other spring-seeded cereals are nearing completion, with 89 per cent of spring wheat, 87 per cent of barley, and 82 per cent of oats now in the bin. Chickpea combining is advancing at a modest pace with 71 per cent harvested.

For oilseed crops, mustard leads with 85 per cent harvested and producers continue to focus on the canola harvest which is 56 per cent complete. Flax harvest is notably behind average, with progress currently at 35 per cent.

Showcasing the Local Legion

Executive member Ellen Essery. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier

News Correspondent

To observe the Third Annual National Legion Week from September 21 to 27, as set up and sponsored by the Dominion Command, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39, offered an Open House on September 27.

This was to have attendees tour the branch, show people around, have a chance to enjoy good company, and learn about some of the history of the branch.

RCL Branch No. 39 has been around for 99 years. Executive member Ellen Essery, said they have over 200 members now.

Anyone 18 years of age can be a member. They do not have to be a veteran or a family member of a veteran. They hosted the open house so people could see how they honour past and present veterans. “We have a lot of memorabilia. If they have any questions, hopefully we can answer them. If we can’t, we will find somebody who can.

Also, we are hoping to recruit new members.

New to the branch in the last couple of years, we have new floors, a paint job, tables, and chairs. We try to bring things up to the 21st Century.

We also have included some interesting successful community events which include live entertainment, dance, and supper,” Essery said.

Past President Diane Fausak explained that one of the unique aspects of their branch is that they have the Lac Bellevue Legion Campground near St. Paul, where local Legion members, plus those from other branches, have a nice getaway where they can bring their trailers and camp out, and they recently built a recreation center there that the public can use.

Softly the leaves of memory fall, Gently we gather and treasure them all.

Unseen, unheard, you are always near.

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

There will always be heartache and often a silent tear.

But always precious memories of days when you were here.

We hold you close within our hearts.

And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives.

Until we meet again.

When evening shades are falling And we sit quietly alone.

To our hearts there comes a longing We wish you could come home Friends may think we have forgotten When at times they see us smile But little do they know the heartache Our smiles hide all the while, Today, tomorrow, our whole life through, We will always love and remember you.

MALOWANY, Rev. Boniface Theodore Axentius, OSBM Rev. Boniface Theodore Axentius Malowany, OSBM died peacefully at Youville Home in St. Albert, AB on Saturday, September 20, 2025. Born Theodore Axentius Malowany, on February 21, 1935 in Star, AB to Harry and Mary (née Rohatynsky) Malowany, Fr. Boniface entered the Basilian Novitiate in Mundare, AB on March 16, 1952 and made his Solemn Profession of Vows in the Basilian Order of St. Josaphat on September 30, 1956. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 29, 1960 by Bishop Ivan Buchko in Rome, Italy.

Fr. Boniface lived most of his active priestly life in the Order’s Monastery in Weston, ON. He was a teacher for many years at St. Basil-the-Great College School where he taught classes in Latin, science and music. Fr. Boniface also served the Canadian Province of the Basilian Order of St. Josaphat as Provincial Consultor (1970-73), and for several years as either the local Superior or Econom of the St. Gregory of Nyssa monastery in Weston, ON. Fr. Boniface had a love for choral music, both liturgical and classical, and was, himself, a talented musician, arranger, and choir director, having directed the parish choirs of Dormition of the Mother of God in Mississauga, St. Nicholas in Toronto, and St. Demetrius in Etobicoke.

He was a mentor and inspiration to many church choir directors across Canada. Because of his extensive knowledge of liturgical music, Fr. Boniface was asked by the Order’s General Superior, Fr. Isidore Patrylo, OSBM, to work on the musical notations that were to be included in the forthcoming publication of the Ukrainian Molytvoslov (1992)—a prayerbook that continues to serve as the standard book of monastic prayers of the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church throughout the world.

Fr. Boniface is survived by his siblings, Ann (Fred) Meyer of Kansas, USA, Emily (Lawrence) Skubleny of Lamont, AB, Peter Malowany of Chipman, AB and Richard (Joanie) Malowany of Star, AB along with their respective families; as well as the members of the Basilian Monastic Order. He was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Mary (née Rohatynsky) Malowany.

Monastic Parastas was celebrated on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 7 p.m. at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Mundare. The Funeral Divine Liturgy was celebrated on Monday, September 29, 2025, at 10 a.m., also at Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church. Interment followed in the Basilian Order’s section of Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church Cemetery. To view a recording of the services, please visit www.parkmemorial.com and select “Webcasting” from Fr. Boniface’s Book of Memories.

Donations in memory of Fr. Boniface Malowany, OSBM may be made to the Education of Basilian Priests Fund, c/o Basilian Fathers, 737 Bannerman Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R2X 1J9. God grant Fr. Boniface eternal rest and entrance into the eternal happiness where all the saints repose! ВІЧНА ЙОМУ ПАМ’ЯТЬ!

Even though the days of the threshing machine are long gone, some of them can be seen in farmyards like this one just east of the junction of Secondary Highway 870 and 631. The first threshing machine was thought to have been invented by a Scottish man by the name of Andrew Meikle in 1778. This machine was used to separate grain from the husk, first using horse or oxen, water power and then steam power.

That was the case, primarily in the early 19th century. (Michelle Pinon/Photo)

Providing Food for a Strong Start Rosanne Fortier

News Correspondent

Community Association for Lasting Success (CALS) Breakfast Club was brought into focus in 1998, when a survey of local elementary school staff revealed that about 15% of children were coming to school without having breakfast. Executive Director for CALS Jennifer Dixon explained that the program started because when children arrive at school hungry, it’s more than just empty stomachs they carry into the classroom. Hunger can make it difficult to concentrate, affect behavior, and stand in the way of learning. “In response, CALS launched a pilot snack program.

The effort was an immediate success, and from that beginning, the CALS Breakfast Club was born.”

Dixon went on to state that today, they provide a mid-morning snack to more than 600 children across A.L. Horton

Elementary School, St. Martin’s Catholic School, and Vegreville Next Step Outreach. Offered three days a week at no cost to families, the program has become a cornerstone of support in the community.

The Breakfast Club’s goals are simple but powerful: reduce hunger as a barrier to learning, improve classroom readiness, model healthy eating habits, and encourage children to try new foods. It is designed to be universal, ensuring no child feels singled out, and it takes special care to accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions.

Jennifer expressed that local volunteers are the backbone of the initiative. Over 50 dedicated community members prepare snacks, while the Vegreville Association for Living in Dignity

Rope can only be strung across a highway at a height in excess of 14 ft

(VALID) helps deliver them to schools. Together, they make sure students have access to nutritious food in a way that feels seamless and welcoming.

“But as the need grows, so do the costs. Rising food prices mean it takes more resources than ever to keep the program running. With more children arriving at school hungry, for many, the CALS Breakfast Club provides the first real opportunity of the day to fuel their bodies and minds.

What makes the program unique is that it is entirely supported by the community. Funded 100% through donations and corporate grants, the program is sustained by the generosity of individuals and businesses who believe in giving children a strong start. Each fall, the organization hosts its annual fundraising drive to ensure the program continues.

For nearly three decades, the CALS Breakfast Club has stood as a quiet but powerful example of what a community can do when it comes together. Meeting one of the most basic needs, food, helps open the door for children to thrive, learn, and grow,” Dixon added.

Children seemed to be thrilled to participate in the activities and explore the toys and play equipment at the Stay and Play program at Kalyna Family Resource Network on September 26.

Spoke Programmer Cheryl Sorensen said the theme was fall. The craft that the children made was a leaf mask. “The children had a chance to use scissors and markers, which helps to develop their fine motor skills, imagination, and creativity.”

the Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, took the Queen across the province by train, stopping in communities such as Peace River, St. Paul, Lamont, Chipman, and Mundare. These images of the royal visit—shot in Vegreville—offer a rare glimpse of ceremony and spectacle colliding with small-town prairie life.

In these frames, we see more than the Crown’s presence—we see the people who gathered, the settings they stood in, and the Alberta that met the Queen.”

The exhibit which opened this summer, is aptly titled, Orest Semchishen: A Presence of Prairie. Basilian Fathers Museum Curator Karen Lemiski explained that Zeleny had purchased the collection of Semchishen’s photos from the Royal tour in a public auction in 2024, and he asked Lemiski if she’d be interested in displaying them in the museum. Her reaction to the offer was “absolutely” as “they are important to be in this area and with them going for auction they could have gone anywhere…If they had ended up in a private collection, they would have been lost whereas we had people coming this summer that recognized people, that commented or remembered being there.

As a museum that’s what we want. We

want something to engage our visitors.”

The collection includes 25 photographs.

Complimenting the photographs are artifacts in three side showcases. Lemiski noted, “The commemorative china pieces (on loan from a private collection), and event programs and Canadian Pacific poster (from the museum’s archives) were from previous royal visits to Canada. The third showcase had military items, marking the 80th anniversary of VE day.”

The exhibition statement also included these sentiments: “In showing Semchishen’s work we celebrate not only his artistic contributions but the land and people who shaped his eye. The exhibition’s reappearance is a poignant reminder of the fragility of cultural memory and the importance of preserving visual histories. His photographs are not only a record—they are a reckoning.

The Basilian Fathers Museum expressed gratitude to Kyler Zeleny for the generous loaning of this collection.”
