Thank You, Vegreville Respect e l l i v e r g e V In October of 2016, members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Canada Employment and Immigration Union component, were told the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citzenship Canada was closing the Vegreville office and employees were expected to relocate to Edmonton effective September 2018. The news was devastating for our members and the community response was immediate and supportive.

To the members of the Vegreville Town Council, thank you for your support throughout this difficult time. Your tireless effort to work with our union and our members to convince the Department and the Federal Government to reverse this decision was a true example of how rural communities come together.

To our members in Vegreville, thank you for your dedication to your community and your union. It was not an easy decision for any of you and your Local Executive worked tirelessly, using every opportunity to get the decision reversed while also standing up for the rights of members through the transition process.

PSAC and CEIU still stand strong in our belief that this closure is not the right decision for our members, the community of Vegreville, or the Canadians these employees serve everyday.

We will never forget the solidarity and unity shown by the community of Vegreville. Thank you, Vegreville. Thank you so much.

Foreign Investment Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser - Opinion I have never been a fan of our governments pining over foreign entities and repeatedly stating that we need more foreign investment. I understand that we live in a time where large businesses operate on a global scale, but I have always felt that we and our governments should promote and encourage growth and investment of Canadian businesses.

Unfortunately, our governments have had a track record of chasing Canadian companies and entrepreneurs away.

Despite what some may say, there has been a long-term “brain drain” and it has become evident that Canada is for sale to the highest bidder.

I have previously made note of Petro-Canada; once a crown corporation and a powerhouse in the petroleum industry. In 1990 the Canadian government announced its intention to privatize Petro-Canada and in July 1991 the selloff began.

In more recent news, to my surprise, I read about a union representing workers in Churchill Manitoba calling on the Canadian Government to buy back its majority interest in the Canadian Wheat Board. Yes; the Canadian Wheat Board is not 100% Canadian owned.

In 2015 the Conservative government of the day decided to sell 50.1% of the Canadian Wheat Board (established in 1935) to a joint venture (G3) between American grain company Bunge and the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment

Co. G3 has the option to buy the remaining 49.9% in 2022.

The government claimed the sale would help modernize Canada’s grain sector to stimulate investment and create jobs.

According to Wikipedia, the sale to G3 took place while a “Farmers of North America” led group of Western Canadian farmers attempted to raise funds to purchase the CWB and keep it Canadian farmer-owned rather than selling it to foreign corporations. The group was rebuffed despite having a higher offer, ($349 million vs $250 million?) on grounds that they hadn’t raised the funds. (The time frame was artificially short for the kind of offer FNA was attempting).

Of course. Why would the Canadian government favour a Canadian purchase?

One of the issues that plagued the CWB was rail transport on (you guessed it) 73% American owned Canadian Pacific Rail. The Canadian government failed to force the hand of the rail company to carry more grain while grain shippers competed with crude oil producers for space.

Now after having the current federal government piss off the Saudi Kingdom, we find ourselves in a position where a

To Whom it May Concern; I am sure that over the years, you have heard complaints as to the care and treatment from your doctors, nurses, and other staff at the St. Joseph’s Hospital. While on holidays here in Vegreville, I spent 3.5 weeks in your hospital and, as a nurse myself who has worked in many hospitals and care facilities I can honestly say that the care from your doctors, nurses, care aides, physiotherapists, chaplain… from the care given in preparation of meals to the people who keep the place so clean; if I had to rate it all together I would say that I could not find one complaint.

It is so easy to complain that sometimes, we forget to see the good things around us, and there were so many good things I found at your hospital, from the moment the ambulance arrived until I left the hospital. I will leave Vegreville with nothing but positive thoughts and feelings.

In fact, if I had the choice I would move to your town today!

Sincerely, Shirley Ann Friesen

-- Thank you Shirley for your positive feedback. I too have had many positive experiences in our hospital over the years.

As you have stated, it is easy to complain and we all know that it is all too common in society today. It is always refreshing to hear something positive. -AB Name: Sam LePage Likes: ice-cream, popsicles Dislikes: tomatoes, celery

Regent Health Celebrates First Year of Business Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

Lundyn Wyllie and Dellas Baxandall of Regent Health Supplies in Vegreville celebrated the one-year anniversary of their grand opening in August last year. To celebrate, they set out candies and squares and held a sale all throughout the day.

The store, situated on Vegreville`s Main Street, carries a variety of vitamins, supplements, sports nutrition, essential oils, and beauty products – but are fairly flexible when it comes to their inventory. ”We like to be receptive to suggestions, and make sure we accommodate what people want.”

Regent Health`s customers and neighbouring businesses brought flowers and other gifts to help them celebrate their successful first year of business. ”We are really thrilled to have the support of the Vegreville community,” said Dellas Baxandall, “Even though we were maybe apprehensive at first – many new businesses are – the people in Vegreville do `support local, ` and we are thankful to be a part of it.”

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Heritage House in Vegreville now has a gazebo in their courtyard which has screens that a person can open and zip to close. It provides shelter from the sun and from bugs and has plenty of chairs to sit on. It’s an excellent place to socialize in or to go to when a person is seeking a quiet time.

Some of the residents of Heritage

House commented that they were impressed by this gazebo.

The Rotary Club of Vegreville donated $1750 for this gazebo because they feel they have to support our seniors just like they support the youth. Rotary Club has given funds to all the seniors’ facilities and centres in Vegreville and the centres get to decide what they want to do with the funds.

from the pages of the vegreville observer

Compiled by Dan Beaudette

90 Years Ago – August 29, 1928

A couple of heavy frosts during the past week wrought considerable damage to late grain and also touched the fields which were nearly ripe. Official figures of the lowest point reached were 27 degrees above zero, or 5 degrees of frost. Tender garden vegetables were put out of business and there is no doubt that the grain suffered, particularly such fields as were ten days from full ripening.

Willingdon farmers will lose a lot the same way. Lavoy states damage not so great as most grain was practically ripe. Both north and south of Vegreville were hit to some extent. Considerable grain will go in the lower grade and the elevator men will have their work cut out for them to grade the grain offerings correctly.

The trustees of the Barhgate school, Ryley, have completely renovated the interior of the school by a beautiful pea-green kalsomining. Mr. Chivers, chairman, and Mrs. A. K. Mansfield, sec-treas, have been indefatigable in their efforts to forward rural education, and as a consequence to give the children in the school district their birth-right, i.e. good healthy buildings and a moral, sound primary education.

75 Years Ago – September 1, 1943

Working in relays on August 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th, the brigade of ladies organized to take care of the local distribution of Ration Book No. 3, dealt with 3,428 books. This covers only the local office at the town hall. No figures are yes available for other points within this distribution area.

Sergt. John Edmund Couch, R.C.A.F., son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Couch of Lavoy, is reported missing. Pte. Wilfred Raper, also of Lavoy, is reported as wounded. He farmed near Lavoy since 1930 and enlisted soon after war broke out with the Edmonton Regiment. A son of Alex Blackie is reported wounded, presumably in Sicily. He is a nephew of the late Nicol McIntyre.

But the hardest blow of all has fallen on Mrs. McKenzie of Warwick, whose two sons, Sergt. Alex and Flt. Sergt. Douglas both have been reported missing within 3 days.

Edward R. Horton of Vegreville, who served overseas with the Canadian Army in the present war, Monday graduated from A20 Canadian Army Service Corps’ training Centre at Red Deer with the rank of a lieutenant.

50 Years Ago – August 29, 1968

The Rev. Hickman, pastor of the Vegreville United Church for the past eight years, preached his farewell sermon entitled “We have worked Together for the Gospel”, to a large congregation last Sunday. Mr. Hickman has accepted a call to Knox United Church in Drumheller and he and his family will move there this week.

It was a special farewell occasion here last Sunday for Very Rev. and Mrs. John Hykaway. Parishioners from the eight churches served by Very Rev. Hykaway during the last five years first met at a special Church Service conducted by the guest minister Rev. Peter Blazuk and Very Rev. Hykaway at the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Willingdon.

P. Kufeldt and V. Yeremcio, representing the Aplomb Community Centre, attended the County of Minburn meeting. They proposed that, since the Community Association no longer legally existed, and since the County still held title to the property formerly used by the Association, the County dispose of the building and site and donate the proceeds to the Vegreville Association for the Mentally Handicapped. Following discussion, the Committee agreed to the proposal providing that the action proposed did not contravene the provisions of the Societies Act. The Secretary was directed to investigate and report at the next meeting.

25 Years Ago – August 31, 1993

The Vegreville Catholic school board stands to lose about $6,000 in equity funding with the amalgamation of the Vegreville rural Catholic School district and the Hairy Hill Roman Catholic separate school district. “We will have one governing body to replace three, in an attempt to reduce management,” said Vegreville Catholic Separate School District # 16 (VCSSD) superintendent Bernie McCraken.

At the County of Minburn No. 27 meeting in August it was requested by the Innisfree Municipal Seed Cleaning Association Limited that they be exempted of 1993 taxes. Council decided to grant relief of their 1993 municipal tax levy only. At the same meeting it was decided that the Ranfurly landfill site will be a controlled site effective September 1, 1993 with regulated hours of operation.

Bojan Community Hall was the scene of a very busy holiday Monday, August 2. Four chartered buses brought 140 people to our area, through Newman Travel in St. Albert. The tour group was welcomed by St. Mary’s Romanian church treasurer Nick Hauca.

Church priest Father M. Panciuk welcomed the guests and gave the blessing for lunch.

Talk to Your Friends about Alberta’s Debt Colin Craig Canadian Taxpayers Federation We all know someone who doesn’t pay attention to ballooning government debt. How can we help them understand the consequences of irresponsible spending?

First, ask your friends to reflect on the old expression – “if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Rising government debt is no different; it ultimately means higher taxes.

Premier Notley is currently on pace to take our province’s debt from about $12 billion (when she started as premier) to $53 billion in just four years.

Her government is increasing the province’s debt by a staggering $344 every second.

What’s the consequence of all that new debt?

Well, just like if you quadrupled your credit card debt, the government’s minimum interest payments have also increased.

And guess what happened as interest costs rose over the years? The government increased income taxes, business taxes and the premier has now set her sights on higher carbon taxes as well. Her debt explosion is already hurting taxpayers in the pocketbooks.

Next comes the employment angle. Ask your friends what they think happens when businesses see a government rapidly increasing its debt? The answer of course is businesses start to worry about governments raising taxes to address the debt problem. And if businesses worry about tax increases, some will decide to build their new factory somewhere else – taking all kinds of jobs with them.

We’ve also heard stories of existing businesses shutting down because of rising taxes and costly government decisions. Just ask the former owner of

Abruzzo Ristorante in Calgary, who cited rising property taxes as a key reason for permanently closing the doors. How many businesses shut down or avoided Alberta because of the government’s 20 per cent business tax increase? It’s hard to say: businesses don’t usually alert the media when they choose to invest somewhere else – they just do it.

The third thing people need to keep in mind is that if governments run into debt problems, the services people care about most are eventually impacted.

Premier Notley routinely refuses to get spending under control, claiming she’s “protecting” education and health care. On the surface, her claim sounds valiant, but in reality, she’s doing more to put those services at risk than anyone else.

When Greece ran into debt problems a few years back, the Guardian newspaper ran the following headline “Greek Debt Crisis: Of all the damage, health care has been hit the worst.” Eventually, even the most sacred of government spending cows are impacted.

To be clear, Alberta isn’t likely to run into a Greece-like debt problem anytime soon. But it’s reckless for the government to be stepping on the gas towards such a problem.

What we need to see is for the government to get its spending problem under control – and doing so wouldn’t result in the sky falling.

Next door in British Columbia, we find a government that is providing similar services but at significantly lower costs. They’re simply a lot more cost-effective. If Alberta merely got its spending levels down to what B.C. spends per person, our government wouldn’t have a deficit right now … nor would it have piled on the extra $56,656 in debt since your started reading this column. Don’t forget to tell your friends.

was complete and open to the public for the first time during the Ukrainian Day festivities. Ed Stelmach – a descendant of the original Stelmachs who lived in the house, said of the learning center that it was a vision they had right from the start – to help educate UCHV visitors in a new way. This resulted in a home in the village which reaches guests interactively, and with the use of signs and a video.

For the first stages of restoring the Stelmach House, the home was taken to another site so that the construction wouldn’t be a disturbance to regular Village activity. After returning to the UCHV, it was furnished and prepared for its grand opening on August 19.

At the close of these long-term changes for the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, Communications Coordinator Natalie Ozipko says that the Village is looking forward to a new kind of Ukrainian Day festival in the years to come.

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On August 19, around 4000 guests, media from both big news and local news platforms, organizers, and performers flooded the walkways and bandshell stage area at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (UCHV) for their celebration of Ukrainian Day 2018. This day also marked the completion of the Centennial Pioneer Recognition Monument and the official opening of the Stelmach House Learning Centre.

The Alberta-Ukraine Genealogical Project, headed by Radomir Bilash, has been collecting and adding the names of Albertan pioneers of all ethnicities for the past 12 years, starting at the Ukrainian Day festivities in 2006. The final piece of the puzzle was added to the monument at the UCHV`s Ukrainian Day celebration, making a total of 7,700 pioneers` names listed.

1.386 of those names were unveiled at the August 19th ceremony.

Bilash said that this project was founded to help the descendants of pioneers to not only see their ancestors recognized, but also to help them find living relatives. “More and more, people are wanting to find their living relatives in Canada.” He also pointed out the many family reunions that were taking place all over the Village, made visible by giant signs emblazoned with family names. “Now we are getting queries from people, asking, `do you know what happened to my Baba`s brother who we lost track of during the war,` and things like that. Because of the thoroughness of our research, we have information that searching family members can`t even find online. Things have changed a lot, and so have the attitudes surrounding the connecting of family members in Ukraine and in Canada.”

Guests at the unveiling included many political dignitaries and sponsors, including Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood, and President of Ukrainian-Canadian Congress Alberta Provincial Council, Olesia Luciw-Andryjowycz.

MLA Jessica Littlewood brought greetings from the Alberta Legislature on behalf of Premier Rachel Notley and said of the project that ``With the Centennial Pioneer Heritage Monument, Ukrainian Day has become a day to commemorate the many pioneers, Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian alike, who settled in Central-East Alberta prior to the first World War. `` The Stelmach House Learning Centre

Third-Party Science Review for Walleye-Pike-PerchWhitefish Management Discussions Delayed Ray Makowecki Volunteer Fisheries Biologist Alberta Environment and Parks met for a second time with the diverse group of stakeholders on July 30th, 2018 to receive advice on the terms of reference for this group (the Stakeholder Advisory Committee) and to discuss further the

3rd party science review process. The Third-Party Science Review Panel for Walleye-Pike-Perch-Whitefish Management in Alberta will not be selected until late Fall/November 2018 and as a result, it is unlikely that the panel will have a completed report until March/April 2019. As a result, no changes to the 2019 Fishing Regulations will likely occur.

The Next Step Team is very disappointed in the delay as the Native Trout Management was indicated to be the priority After considerable communication and concern expressed on the Alberta Sportfishing Regulations and Fisheries

Management Plans by the Next Step Team, Fish and Game Groups, Agricultural Organizations, Chambers of Commerce, municipalities, sporting goods businesses, community representatives and individuals, the government continued to be more restrictive with reduced fish harvesting opportunities in 2018. Walleye tags continued in several lakes and catch and release pike were added to over 100 lakes. Many people and groups have expressed considerable disappointment with the management of the public resources particularly associated with the reduced opportunities to harvest the underutilized walleye and the catch and release only fishing for pike.

However, the Government agreed to an independent Third-Party Science Review of the Walleye-PikePerch-Whitef ish Management in Alberta. A second review panel will be reviewing Native Trout Management in the East Slopes.

The concerns for underutilized walleye and ecological imbalance on the other fish species has been expressed for several years and most recently for over two years by the Next Step Team and the Volunteer Biologists Group.

The observations of the anglers were verified by the Alberta Government fish surveys and the Next Step Team recommended other fish management options that would allow for a sustainable harvest of the fish resources. The ThirdParty Science Review Panel for Walleye-

Fish management - CONTINUED from PAGE 8 Pike-Perch-Whitefish Management was established to examine the concerns being expressed by the people for underutilized walleye and the ecological imbalance.

Although many people are disappointed in the timing of the third-party independent science review, the people continue to believe that other fish management options will be considered and that Albertans will be able to harvest the fish resources in Alberta in the future.

Some key questions being asked by the Next Step Team include the following.

• Are walleye being underutilized in many Alberta lakes where government survey numbers indicate high numbers of walleye?

• Are lakes that have high walleye numbers and low pike, perch and Lake Whitefish numbers ecologically out of balance?

• Would the recommended options offered by the Next Step Team of low-risk consumptive fish harvesting be useful and effective options that would allow some harvest in all the lakes?

• Could supplemental walleye stocking and perch introductions be used to increase fishing opportunities?

• Could the lakes with low water levels (i.e. Muriel, Mann Lakes, Missawawi etc.)

and poor fish habitat be restored to increase fishing opportunities?

Continued participation and communication from all Albertans is encouraged.

For the past 20 years, many public lakes in Alberta have had zero catch limits on walleye. Anglers have expressed concern and have been asking why not allow some fish to be caught and utilized by Albertans. Anglers want to have healthy fish numbers without wasting this valuable resource.

forgotten mess of weeds and brambles when Kassie Gavinchuk and her family rediscovered it in 2008. After an intense group effort of gardening and pulling up saplings the crew got to work with numbering, measuring, and putting some kind of marker on all the unmarked graves.

“There were over forty that weren’t marked at all,” said Kassie Gavinchuk about their process, “So we had to measure the graves to figure out if they were for an adult for a child. From there, we added small markers to identify where the graves were.”

Other renovations included a chain link fence that was put up around as much of the cemetery as the county could afford. “There are a few on the outside of the fence,” said Gavinchuk, “but they aren’t forgotten. If someday we can afford to fence the whole thing,

we definitely will.”

The deceased who were laid to rest in the Pioneer Cemetery came from a few different variations of Catholic and Orthodox faith, as people were buried there based on location rather than religious belief. At each anniversary of the original restoration, the local Byzantine Catholic priest leads the clean-up crew, their families, and the families who have loved ones in the cemetery in a blessing of each grave.

Also standing in the cemetery is a sign that reads: “This memorial was erected to commemorate the memory of our pioneers and their children that rest in this cemetery. This memorial was donated

by Kay Tymchuk, erected 1979. May they rest in peace.”

A luncheon and program in Mundare followed the ceremony at the cemetery

Viterra Facility in Vegreville Opens for Business

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser After nearly a year of construction, the Viterra grain elevator west of Vegreville received their first trucks of grain on August 27th, 2018. Having chosen the Vegreville location because of its prime position in rural East Alberta, Viterra hopes that this new grain elevator will help to fill the need for more capacity in the region. ”This is a great location,” said Vegreville Viterra

operations manager Jared Silverthorn about the new facility, ”and we have neighbouring Viterra facilities in Killam, Star, and Vermilion.”

The grain elevator has a 34,000-holding capacity – standard for the industry – with the option to develop further by adding another tank to the facility. Should the need arise in the future, Viterra will look into the possibilities.

The first producer who sold their grain to the brand-new elevator was Mike Yurko, who brought

in a truck of Canada Western Red Spring Wheat to the facility. After working out some first-day jitters from the machine, the grain poured into the elevator was greeted by the operations staff with attentiveness – and a few cheers.

After the first truck of grain left, Viterra also received trucks of yellow peas.

To celebrate the first day of receiving grain shipments, the Viterra office had doughnuts and coffee for the staff and producers, and pizza was served for lunch.

Criminal Code Sections Explained S Sgt Jerry Nutbrown RCMP Ponderings - Vegreville It has been some time since I delved into the Criminal Code of Canada for some of the lesser known sections. By now you

should know that even some of the common sections we utilize aren’t always straight-forward. To quote a Platinum Blonde song, ‘Are you sitting comfortably? Then we’ll begin”.

Section 18 specifically ensures that a female committing a crime in her husband’s presence doesn’t automatically implicate him. Previous to this section existing, it was common law to presume a woman committing an offence, with her husband present, was believed to have been coerced by him. Section 19 removes the excuse by a person who committed a crime, to use not knowing what they did was indeed a crime, as a reason not to be responsible for it. Section 20 provides the authority for issuing court compelling documents to a person on a holiday.

Section 43 specifically allows a schoolteacher (yes it is all one word in the CC), parent or person standing in the place of a parent to use reasonable force to correct a child. Section 45 protects a surgeon from prosecution for performing reason-

able surgeries. Section 56 makes out several offences related specifically to RCMP officers. This focuses on someone who persuades an officer to desert or that assists in helping an officer desert.

The officer is committing an offence for deserting or being absent without leave, however, this section just covers any person that assists them.

To this point, you have seen that the Criminal Code both authorizes some actions and makes others an offence.

Over time the Criminal Code has gotten longer and more complex even though some sections do get repealed or removed. Continuing, Section 75 covers piratical acts involving Canadian ships that are inside or outside of Canada.

Within the Criminal Code, there are various sections that make acts that are an offence inside Canada also an offence if committed outside Canada. A person would be prosecuted in Canada as if the act had happened in Canada even though the actual event occurred halfway around the world. So, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. So to speak.

Section 123 outlines offences related to influencing a municipal official. The sections following specify more offences regarding officials in office. If you play the lotteries at all you may be interested to know Section 207 authorized lotteries and also lays out offences and punishments. Related, Section 209 covers cheating while playing a game. This does not cover Monopoly at home or pin the tail on the donkey. This would cover high-level games regarding betting or games where the stakes are substantial.

You are safe playing the shell game amongst your friends.

In flipping through the Criminal Code of Canada I only got up to Section 209 and I am sure this has been some new information for a lot of readers. I will save more of the code for a later Ponderings article. Remember, this book is only one of many federal Acts that define offences and punishments.

Eli Bernard Returns Victorious Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser Team Alberta`s Eli Bernard has returned from Canada`s east coast decorated in silver and gold from the National Special Olympics.

Having embarked on the journey with the other members of Team Alberta, Eli has come back with stories to share about all of his Olympic adventures. ``I dipped my feet in the Atlantic Ocean, `` Eli recounted, ``That part was relaxing, like a vacation. `` Eli also noted his appreciation for his Alberta teammates, `Having the full support of my coaches – my coach Fran, and my Team Alberta coach – and the other athletes really made the trip something special, `` he said. ``I was surprised with how many friends I made along the way, and how much fun we all had together. `` ``The local people treated us with cheers.

First place for non-members at the tournament went to Gus Borzel.

felt like celebrities. Everyone was so cheerful and welcoming. `` Eli`s family also flew out ahead of time to show their support for Eli and his endeavour. ``Most of all, I just hope to make my family proud of me, and for them to be happy with the result of all their support over the years. `` In spite of the challenge of a significant age gap between Eli and the other competitors – in some cases, he competed against athletes as young as 15, and Eli himself is 25 – he returned with three medals total… one silver each in Shock-Put and the 50-meter run, and a gold in the Standing Long Jump.

As per the time of our interview, Eli Bernard still awaits word from Team Canada about whether he will be competing with them in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I recently married the love of my life. While I owned a home in New England near my family, she owned one in the South near her parents. We decided to live equally distant from both families and settled on a place somewhere in the middle. All we had to do was sell our houses. Mine went on the market as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) and sold very quickly. My wife's house hasn't seen much activity and I'm concerned. We already picked out our new home, but have to sell hers in order to move. Otherwise, I'll be moving in with her. I'm worried because my in-laws only live a mile away and like to stop by with dinner unannounced. I adore my wife, but I'm not sure I can handle living that close to her family.

Any ideas on how we can make her house more attractive to buyers as a FSBO?

Carry: If you really want a quick sale to avoid living next to your in-laws, consider some creative incentives. Offer to pay the buyer's mortgage or property taxes for the first year when they buy your home. Although it may cost you several thousand dollars, it can make for a quick sale.

Cash: Another option is to have a one-day sale. Advertise an open house and let buyers submit their best offers in envelopes throughout the day. At the end of your open house, you can choose the highest bidder.

Carry: And remember as an added incentive, you can always tell them that your in-laws can stop by with dinner.

major problems, repainted old walls, mowed the grass and planted flowers. The better it looks, the better your chances are for selling.

Carry: The next step is to check your asking price. Since you're not getting much activity, compare your price to other homes of similar size, style and location. Price your home slightly lower to gain more interest.

Cash: The key to a fast sale is great advertising. If your ads are not generating interest, leave them out of the newspaper for a week or two. Then, place a new ad with a different picture and better wording. Buyers typically look at the new ads first to see what just came on the market.

I admit that sometimes I can be overbearing and offer too much direction. Fortunately, my husband always finds a way to let me know.

On the day we moved into our new home, I was in full force telling him exactly where to place every box we moved in from the truck.

Coincidentally, on the same day we noticed a pair of birds moving into a birdhouse hanging outside our new front porch. As my husband and I stopped to watch them bring straw into the birdhouse, I asked, "Which one do you think is the male?"

"That's easy," my husband smiled at me. "He's the one being pecked at."

Also, if you remember, the Saudi government gave instructions to sell off all Canadian interests at any cost. Despite that statement, there has been no official announcement regarding its stake in G3. The Saudi Government HAS however indicated that it would no longer buy Canadian wheat and barley due to the diplomatic tensions between the two countries.

Maybe with a pipeline in its portfolio, it’s time for Canada to revisit the CWB and do what the Union of Canadian Transportation Employees is calling for. Maybe our government should stop selling off our country piece by piece and instead of looking for foreign investment, create an environment that encourages money to stay IN Canada.

Babas and Borscht Brings Ukraine to Lamont Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser The Lamont Community Hall was transformed into a hub of Ukrainian culture from August 25-26, when the Babas and Borscht Ukrainian Festival returned to Lamont for another year.

Upon arriving at the festival, guests saw Baba Magda, who introduced them to her chicken and offered the opportunity to play the game Kurka Krap. (In the words of the festival program: “See where our Kurka will Krap to win cold hard cash!”) Inside,

all were greeted at the door with a program and a voucher for a free borscht sample.

Babas and Borscht Festival Organizer Hazel Anaka said that they were excited to bring new things to the festival. “We are always looking for new things to add to make Babas and Borscht better year to year. This year, we had a lot going on in the Bazaar and kid`s activities, and some special guest performers tie the event together.”

Highlighted at the festival was special guest speaker Victor Malarek, Toronto`s Ukrainian-Canadian author and journalist. After his author talk, listeners and festival guests were able to pick up a signed copy of his book, `Orphanage 21. ` Other talks included a Medical Mercy Canada talk by humanitarians Dr. Myron and Blaine Semuley, who engaged listeners with the story of how they work to `relieve suffering and improve quality of life through the direct provision

of supplies, education, and services to medical facilities and schools for overlooked and impoverished areas of the world,` including their relief projects in Ukraine.

Dr. Serge Cipko gave a talk titled `Starving Ukraine: The Holodomor and Canada`s Response, ` Which covered Canada`s response to the famine in 1932-33 Soviet Ukraine.

Guests were also able to engage in workshops such as rustic sign making, wheat weaving, korovai braids, and Pysanky. Many of these workshops were available amongst the vendors in the Baba`s Bazaar.

The indoor-outdoor beer gardens led to a bandshell stage where musical performances took place throughout both days. Also available outside were an assortment of food vendors and a free wagon ride through the town of Lamont.

St. John’s Lutheran Church Jr. Deputies’ Fundraising BBQ VBS 2018

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent There was a splash canyon adventure for the theme of the August 13-15’s St. John’s Lutheran Church Vacation Bible School and organizers went all out to decorate and apply these concepts to all the activities involved in this program.

(Rosanne Fortier/photos)

There were around 34 children who participated in this VBS. Early in the morning, children were greeted in the sanctuary by singing from music directors and later, they learned how to do body movements and dancing steps to gospel songs.

There were also a bible lessons, crafts, an opportunity to play outside, a snack, and on each day they had an offering collection for the orphans in Nicaragua.

This VBS taught the children about deliverance and how God is over there for them, delivers them, and takes care of them. There were a lot of water themes. After Moses was born, Pharaoh, who was like the King of Egypt had enslaved all the Israelites and wanted to kill all the babies. God’s plan for Moses was that He would deliver the people from Egypt and He did this. One lesson was about Paul’s shipwrecked and how God saved him. On the last day, they learned about the story of Jesus and His death and resurrection.

Love Learning Language Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Children love to learn new words, hear, and tell stories.

The Kinette Playground (Fish Park) has a VDCDC Early Childhood Domain sign with focus on language and thinking skills. The Fourth Five Stop Park Hop at this park on August 13 had guided play and freestyle activities arranged to help children develop in this area.

The sign read that language and thinking skills mean children are interested in reading, writing, and telling stories, can recognize most letters and numbers, can recognize most shapes, colors, and sizes, and can remember things.

Some of the activities set up were ball hockey in the rink, an obstacle course, an alphabet scavenger hunt in the park and other equipment and activities around to develop language and thinking skills.

Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre organized this event in partnership with Vegreville and District Child Development Coalition. There were also free draws for door prizes, resources, and healthy snacks available.

Your Best Future Starts at School Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Children can often teach us something. I will never forget the words of a young lad who made a speech where he said a student’s future begins at school.

Every stage in life is special and needs to be savour as life really does go by too quickly. Soon students will be starting a brand-new school year!

This is the time when fresh slates are possible. It doesn’t matter what your attitude was like last year, you can be a good student this year and discover the wonderful benefits that school and learning brings.

Of course there is the obvious that school helps children learn basic skills.

But this shouldn’t be taken for granted because a person’s life is so much fuller when they can read, do simple math, and know other basic concepts.

School helps people gain knowledge about the past which makes them know

what to do to not repeat the mistakes that were made in the future. Also, they can appreciate what their ancestors went through and realize how fortunate they are in certain ways. Or they might hear about how the good old days were good because people made time for family and friends.

Schools have so many opportunity to develop a student’s talents. Even in elementary, some students discover that they are good in music, sports, art and crafts, writing, public speaking, and other useful skills. Nowadays, some schools have students’ council which is a good way to gain practice in leadership or find out that students are good at politics.

Students are exposed to adults with different personalities and rules than their parents and many children around their age at school which helps them develop social skills, and learn how to engage in teamwork. They can meet friends and learn how good relationships with others lead to a happy life.

Research has indicated that school helps students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills which helps them make better choices and decisions, have more job opportunities available and usually obtain a higher income. They also have a wider perception of things.

They can be an example to other kids. Also, they learn how to handle the pressure of deadlines, and how to be committed to something.

Children who are homeschooled also can gain all these including social skills if they find time to make friends, join groups, or form studying sessions with other families.

Little Elk Island Adventure Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On August 28, Mundare School hosted one of a few Little Elk Island Adventure bus safety courses for kindergarten students within the Elk Island Public School System (EIPS), to help them learn safety procedures and feel more at ease approaching the start of the school year.

EIPS Safety and Compliance Supervisor and leader of the Little Elk Island Adventure program in Mundare Christine Hogan greeted the kindergarten students at the door with a nametag and a special-for-the-day bus pass card to swipe on the bus. Once everyone had arrived, Hogan walked the parents through some basics of bus safety that they would need to know, such as how to reach the EIPS student transport staff in case of concern, road conditions, or scheduling issues.

Once she had prepared the parents and given some basic rule outlines for the children and introducing them to their bus driver for the day, Hogan had everyone follow the Bus Safety mascot Baby Elwin outside, where a school bus was waiting.

Hogan began the adventure by showing the students the “Danger Zone,” by having them walk up to the side of the bus and touch it. She then showed them how to take five dinosaur-sized steps away from the bus and onto the sidewalk so that they could stand in the “Safety Zone.”

After showing the students how to use the handrails to safely climb the steps and then swipe their bus passes, Hogan pointed out to the parents that the seat sizes have changed over the years. “They’re quite a bit bigger than you probably remember. This is because a taller seat dis-

courages the children – especially smaller ones – from turning in their seat to a position that is not safe.”

After a drive around Mundare to practice sitting correctly, and one stop in town to show the students the bus’ stop sign and red lights, they also learned how to do an emergency exit in the “Skiing” stance with helpers.

The Little Elk Island Adventure gave parents of kindergarten students a chance to ease their minds about their children using the bus for the first time this year. One parent, in particular, said, “We’re already confident that our son is in a good place where he knows enough to make a smart choice, but we wanted to make sure that all the pieces are in place from the schoolboard’s point of view.

The more we know about the safety rules and regulations, the better we can help our children to practice these.”

For rural parents, the only concern left by the end of the field trip was how to handle the scheduling of an early bus ride for their child each morning at 7:15. “We probably won’t have the routine set until Christmas,” one mother said, “But we will just have to keep working at it until then.”

Either way, the EIPS system’s workshops on safety gave new-to-school parents one less thing to worry about at the beginning of the semester.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Learning makes living worthwhile!

VegMin Learning Society’s mission is to provide barrier-free, flexible and affordable learning opportunities for adults in the Town of Vegreville and the County of Minburn. They need people on their board and other volunteers to do this!

VegMin Learning Society presented their Annual General Meeting on August 23 where all citizens were invited to attend.

A light lunch was provided.

The meeting opened where Chair, Dwayne Hlady called the meeting to order.

The election of governing board members was presented where Geri Wayslow expressed her interest in becoming a director-at-large as she has been involved in the community for many years in a variety of paid and volunteer positions.

In 2017-18 there were 1,185 learners who accessed 85 learning opportunities which included foundational and literacy, English language, basic computer learners, community capacity, and general interest. They had 25 volunteers who put in 828 hours. They appreciate their volunteers! Cepeda walked the people through photos of volunteers working and enjoying themselves at events and places.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Children learned how to make some interesting and groovy science experiment from common household items at the Experiment Explorers at Vegreville Centennial Library on August 14.

This program was a part of TD Summer Reading Club 2018 and was coordinated by Library Programmer, Calina Sokalski with the assistance of Library summer student, Litania Holyk.

Sokalski initially explained that children need to do everything they can to be safe in a real science lab and there were some rules for doing this at the library’s meeting room too.

The first experiment to fizz in was the dancLivia Foran shows her explosive ing gummies where the children received a cup full of water while Sokalski and Holyk poured lemon. (Rosanne Fortier/photo) three tablespoons of baking soda in each child’s cup. The children mixed the soda until it was dissolved and then they put the gummies in and waited for a while and in some cases, they discovered that the gummies did a dance in the water.

BINGO!

The second experiment was the explosive lemons where children cut the lemon’s rims when the lemons were in a bowl. Sokalski and Holyk put food coloring and then baking soda on top of this and since a lemon is acidic and baking soda is alkhaline they reacted when put together. The result was a lemon that created bubbles which increased rapidly.

The third experiment was a balloon rocket where the children blew-up balloons first and then Sokalski and Holyk taped a straw down the center of the balloon and later, they put a string through two balloons that were this way for a balloon rocket race. Children discovered that the balloon flew because the air pushed it.

Bessie Pawliuk is Vegreville’s Imminent Centenarian

Early Morning Guests

Bessie will be 100 years old on October 31, 2018. She is still active and witty.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Bessie Pawliuk is going to be 100 years old on October 31, 2018, and she is quick-witted, has a youthful appearance and demeanor, and she owns the sweetest smile.

Bessie was born on October 31, 1918, in Calgary. Bessie had seven brothers and one sister. She lived in the City of Calgary until she was about five. Her father worked for a gas company so they were okay financially. She had a few toys but not too many.

When Bessie was five years old, her family moved east of Perry Vale on a homestead where life became pretty simple since they had nothing then. This didn’t bother her because she didn’t know anything else.

They had animals on the farm. Bessie remembered how stubborn the mules were.

There were no schools around when they moved there so they took their schooling by correspondence. Bessie said she enjoyed this because she liked to learn.

At 10 years old she went to a public one-room school that was just built that was six miles away from where they lived. They usually walked, ran, skipped, or jumped to school. Bessie didn’t mind doing this. In winter, her parents drove them sometimes by horse-sled. “We rode horseback or rode on the mule.

Sometimes, the mule would go part way and then she didn’t want to go any further. We would have to coax her or the other horse. This wasn’t easy because we had to be at school on time and mules are very stubborn. But this could have helped me learn how to get along with others.” Bessie said.

Bessie said she got along well with her teachers and classmates. She still keeps in contact with a girlfriend that she went to school with, and now lives in British Columbia.

Bessie remembered working hard on the farm, picking stones, making cows, and other chores during her teen years.

When Bessie was about 17, she moved to Edmonton and worked as a live-in housekeeper. Then she worked as a waitress in a restaurant where she met her husband-to-be who was the manager of the restaurant she worked in. They were friends first before they grew to love each other. They got married in 1943 and had four children; two boys and two girls.

In 1955, Bessie’s husband passed away from a brain hemorrhage. She had to raise her children by herself, her oldest child was 11, the others were seven and four, and the youngest was 15 months.

This was extremely hard because back then, the government didn’t give financial support to widows and they didn’t have much money. So, Bessie did babysitting for other children.

Bessie moved to Vegreville in 1960.

In 1965, she got married to Mr. Pawliuk.

He had four children also so they were like the Brady Bunch. He died about eight years ago.

Bessie belonged to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39 for over 50 years.

She joined the legion because she had four brothers who served overseas in the Canadian Arm Forces during World War II. She is a life member of the Ladies Auxiliary Legion.

Bessie worked at Homestead Lodge in Vegreville for seven years. She worked at the Homesteader Hotel when she was in her late seventies.

She proudly said today, she has 12 grandchildren, five step-grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren and two step-great-grandchildren.

Bessie drives a car and she credits her good health and longevity to having a positive attitude, keeping active and busy, and making the best of each day.

She resides at Heritage Heights for one year now. This is an independent living facility and she said she enjoys living there.

Bessie’s friend, Florence Derewynka who lives next door added that she admires Bessie because Bessie is so active and keeps herself so young!
