Wasn’t that a Party?

The worst fear of every parent was realized during the PARTY Program’s recreation of a car crash caused by impaired driving. Here, a parent who has just learned of his son’s death,played by veteran firefighter Cpt.Phil Rowe,who has attended many such crashes in real life,is acted out for maximum effect in front of grade nine students from high schools in Vegreville.

Michael Simpson Editor Death, dismemberment, irrevocable emotional damage, all caused from driving impaired. It happens in real life, with greater frequency among young adults.

Stats from MADD Ca nad a ( Mot her s Against Drunk Driving) show car accidents are the greatest killer among young adults from age 15-25 and sadly, half of those crashes are alcohol related.

The grade 9 students of VCHS and St. Mary’s schools got a chance to witness what real carnage looks like on May 26 through Veg Al-Drug S oc iet y ’s PA RT Y Program (Preventing Alcohol and Risk related

Trauma in Youth), which offered up two grisly accident scenes complete with dead bodies, injured teens and wailing, grieving parents, arrests, ambulance rides – all the very real things that go CONTINUED TO PAGE 26

Saving lives with a Second Call

Pryvit 2015 Page 10

Michael Simpson Editor Rocky Pooke has a great deal of experience with saving lives. As a veteran firefighter, he’s been pulling people from burning buildings and crashed cars for over 20 years. As a master electrician who owns Vegreville Electric, he’s worked around jobsite excavations, home renovations, commercial and industrial expansions – everything under the sun, and to go further, a lot under the dirt as well.

Pooke was recently the focus of an article in the Globe and Mail which showcased his entrepreneurial side by way of his newest company, 2nd Call, which has a focus on keeping people safe by locating unregistered lines not singled out by the province’s primary utility locating service, Alberta One Call.

“Alberta One Call is a great service, and I think anyone who is doing some digging for a project should use them first, in fact we insist our clients do that.” Pooke said. “But the part that’s missing is that they deal with registered lines from their members.

Anything that isn’t on the books isn’t checked for – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.”

Pooke hired an experienced locator and started from scratch. He went through all the training, bought his equipment, developed and perfected his procedures and even went as far as to ensure that all his workers held a high level of competence before stepping on to the job. This includes the threeday Ticketed Locator’s course as well as his own 2nd Call College, an 18-day in house course that teaches his locators how to properly sweep a work site with equipment from 6 different approaches

Rocky Pooke has had success in his years as a Master Electrician and owner of Vegreville Electric. He’s had satisfaction as a volunteer firefighter in helping people out of dangerous situations. Pooke’s task at his successful small business franchise startup, 2nd Call Corporation, however, has been among his greatest professional achievements.“I’m saving lives before there’s a problem. I take that very personally,” Pooke said. (Michael Simpson/Photo)

to make sure everything is located and marked properly. After that, there’s additional training in Ground Disturbance, CSTS, POST and First Aid. Pooke is adamant that if you’re offering a safety service, you need to be trained to the highest standards before being left with the responsibility of others’ safety.

As Pooke told the Globe and Mail’s Susan Smith, once he learned of the gap in the system for locating lines, and the concurrent gap in protection for people digging in the ground, he knew he had to do go further than what was already in place to keep people safe. “Our mission statement is to prevent death and injuries due to contact with underground lines and hazards,” Pooke said. “We’re

definitely the Next Generation Locating Service. We go beyond the standards in safety and training to make sure everyone is safe before work starts. That might be the biggest thing I love about the company. For 23 years I’ve been saving people from fires and crashes, but that always happens after the fact. Here, I’m saving lives before there’s a problem. I take that very personally.”

Two years after starting up 2nd Call Corporation, Pooke found himself swamped with calls once word got out about his operation and what it did for workplace safety. “You’d have one day up in Ft. McMurray, the next we’d be in Banff, then up to Grande Prairie. It was nuts.” Pooke then opted to spread his service across

the province by establishing a franchise system. Within a year, he’d set up 8 franchises that have the ability to service the entire province by region. He’s now expanding into BC and Saskatchewan, but keeping his fees reasonable enough that he’s not stopping other entrepreneurs from setting up shop so that everyone can benefit from being safer at work.

“You hear that same sad story; a guy gets up early, kisses his wife and kids goodbye, tells them ‘I’ll see you at supper’ and then goes to work. He’s on the equipment, he’s digging and hits a line he didn’t know was there because it was unregistered. He never comes home. I’m working to prevent that,” Pooke said.

Kids of Steel Triathlon makes request for volunteers The Kids of Steel Triathlon is looking for volunteers to fill up 24 remaining slots to help coordinate the race which is expecting 96 athletes in its eighth year running (and swimming and biking). One of the greatest home-grown ideas promoting health and wellness in children in Vegreville, the Triathlon will begin on Sat. June 6 and run from 8 – 11 a.m.

“The race is in great need of volunteers,” said Triathlon founder Dr. Dan Fisher. “We know that an event like this cannot be held without the support of valued volunteers. There are many ways to help volunteer.”

There is a need for additional volunteers for the following: - Route pylon /barricade setup (5:308AM race day) - Athlete Body marking - Pool deck lap counters - Transition Area (Bike to Run Area) - Bike route safety /traffic control - Run Route safety and check point markers - BBQ cooking / food prep “This year we have encountered major road construction on the bike route and have to alter our course. We need your help with directing the athletes on their

bike and run routes and help keep the athlete safe by helping with street traffic control,” Fisher explained. There will be a need for traffic control along the running route across streets, and with proper marked checkpoints for each athlete to reach, Fisher is also asking for help making sure all competitors are recorded as having reached their markers.

“Come help for all or a portion of the race, come experience the fun of triath-

lon,” Fisher said.

Other Free BBQ for athletes and volunteers after race is completed.

The Race meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. for Volunteers on Friday June 5th at the Vegreville Aquatic Center.

“If you are able to help, please contact us earlier through our email at our webpage www.iTri.ca, or contact me, the race director, (Dan Fisher) at 780632-5287.”

New event hopes to build for the future at Bellevue Sheryl Jamison Friends of Lac Bellevue Enhancement Society In the late 1970’s the Vegreville and Vermilion Royal Canadian Legions developed a campground at Lac Bellevue Alberta, as part of the land lease agreement the members of the new La ke Front Association constructed a building that was to be accessed by multiple service groups from around Alberta.

The groups that have used the facility include: Girl Guides, Air Cadets, Karate Club, etc.

Unfortunately over the passage of time this building is now in need of replacement.

The Friends of Lac Bellevue Enhancement Society is interested in hosting our first annual Bellevue Blast on July 18, 2015. This will be an obstacle race that is over a course of approximately 5km, in addition there will be a shorter course option available. The race will

end on Legion Lake Front grounds at the beach where we would be selling lunch items as well as having a live band a DJ style entertainment.

The proceeds of the event will be going towards a new building (dorm style) to house various service groups in and around the area, as per the mandate of the Legion Lake Front Association, and to comply with the 1976 lease agree-

ment that is still in place.

This event and resulting facility is important not only to the various service groups using the facility but also

to the Legions as there will be a recognition area to be put in the new facility to recognize and honour those who are or have served in the military.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER

COMPILED BY DAN BEAUDETTE

90 Years Ago – June 3, 1925 The Directors of the Vegreville Exhibition Association have arranged to hold a Plowing Match on the farm of B.B. Roberts on Saturday, 20th of June. This is the first time in many years that such a competition has been held in the Vegreville district, and it is hoped to make it one of the outstanding events of the season.

The Mundare Flour Mill, widely known for the good grade of flour, is undergoing some improvements. Mr. Echel is putting in a big 75 H.P. Diesel engine, and also adding a large extension on the south side for a storage room for farmers’ wheat.

The test wells which, were boxed in the west part of town did not measure up to the requirements and as a measure of safety to the public were filled up again.

The names of those persons who have been destroying property on the late Huyke estate, are known and unless these depredations cease will be made public.

75 Years Ago – May 29, 1940 Discussion at the recent Town Council meeting as to policy that would be followed in connection with street sprinkling, took place.

In view of water shortage which will be existent until such time as the “Layne” well becomes connected to the system, prohibits the use of the sprinkler meanwhile to as great an extent as is desirable. Its use meanwhile is left to the discretion of the Secretary.

Clinical detachments of the Canadian Dental Corps carry all that the well-equipped dentist would require in his office in two medium wardrobe trunks. They contain tables, stands, a folding dental chair, drawers filled with all necessary dental instruments and supplies. Two other trunks of the same size are the “prosthetic laboratory” kits, containing all the equipment for a complete dental mechanic’s laboratory. Two other trunks contain a complete X-ray outfit. These trunks make up the triple parts of a truly remarkable field dental equipment.

As announced some weeks ago an outbreak of the caterpillars which infest chiefly poplar trees, has occurred in a mild way in the groves and gardens in town. Just how severe the attack may be is hard to determine, since the caterpillars are still quite small and are rather hard to discern until they have stripped off the foliage and attained nearly their full size which runs to two inches in length. It is not likely they will be so very severe this year, but watch out for next year.

50 Years Ago – June 3, 1965 Each year young lads in the local Cadet Corps strive to achieve the Legion award for the best cadet of the year. Cadet Barry Shandro was selected this year and was presented the certificate of award by Inspecting Officer, Captain Jones.

Following Monday, May 17th’s Town of Two Hills town council meeting Mike J. Olinyk was appointed Town Secretary. He replaces Joseph A. Blonsky, who served as secretary for over five years.

None applications for the position were received and considered.

A new buying station, located next to the FUA bulk station, is presently under construction. It will be owned and operated by Orest Frankiw. It is expected that the operation for business will begin in approximately two weeks.

Officer Cadet Reginald Bruce Bird of Vegreville, today graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada. Officer Cadet Bird has completed a four year course in electrical engineering and receives his Bachelor of Engineering degree and regular commission as a Flying Officer in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He attended Vegreville High School, graduating in 1961. At R.M.C. he participated in squadron hockey, curling, softball and golf. He is the son on Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Bird of Vegreville.

25 Years Ago – May 29, 1990 On Saturday, May 12, St. Martin’s Hi Q team competed in their last match on ITV. This was the final between St. Martin’s and St. Kevin’s. The final score was St. Martin’s 430 and St. Kevin’s 120, giving St. Martin’s the championship. Members of the team are: Jenny Mori, Kevin Wilde, and Michael McCraken.

On June 15 Derek Selinger of Vegreville is leaving for the Philippines. This grade 11 student from St. Mary’s will join 18,000 teens from across Canada and the United States as a member of Teen Missions International. He is one of four youths from Alberta involved in this program.

The Canadian Red Cross Society’s 1989-90 report has been released and show an increase of 3500 units of blood collected this year over last. Part of this success is due to the tremendous support received from blood donors and volunteers in areas outside of Edmonton. Vegreville is one of 25 centres that is served by the mobile blood donor clinic. The mobile unit set up in Vegreville this past March collected 139 units of blood. This translates as approximately 2.6 per cent of Vegreville’s population of 5276.

China’s Quarter-Century Gwynne Dyer The picture of the two Asian giants that most people carry around in their heads shows China racing ahead economically while India bumbles along, falling ever further behind. People even talk about the 21st century as “China’s Century”, just as they called the 20th century the “American Century”. But it may turn out to be only China’s QuarterCentury.

The headline economic news this year is that India’s economy is growing faster than China’s. Not much faster yet, according to the official figures – a 7.5 percent annual rate for India vs. 7.4 percent for China – but there is good reason to suspect that the real Chinese growth rate is considerably lower than that.

Anybody who goes to both countries will see that India has a huge amount of catching up to do. The contrast in infrastructure is especially striking: China has 100,000 km of expressways (freeways, motorways); India has only

1,000 km. But the differences in income and productivity are also very big: Gross Domestic Product per capita in China is between three and five times higher than in India, depending on how you calculate it.

But that is a snapshot of now. It was very different thirty-five years ago, when per capita income in India was still higher than it was in China. And it may be very different twenty-five years from now, if India’s economic growth rate is now really surging ahead of China’s.

There is good reason to believe that it is, because China’s declared growth rate for this year is pure fiction.

China avoided the global recession after the 2008 crash by opening the credit taps to full and embarking on the largest spending spree on infrastructure (roads, housing, railways and airports) that the world has ever seen. But capitalist economies cannot avoid recessions forever. The country is now full of empty apartment buildings, the private debt load has doubled in five years – and the recession is coming.

More than that, China’s period of high-speed growth was probably always going to be limited. Japan enjoyed a quartercentury of 10 percent annual growth in 195580 and became, for a while, the world’s second-biggest economy. But

once its per capita income reached developed-world levels, the growth rate dropped down to developedworld levels too: between two and four percent. (Now it’s almost nothing.)

China has also had its quartercentury of ten percent growth, and it is probably over. The official figure for economic growth last year was still over seven percent, but the less easily manipulated numbers for rail freight, electricity production and bank lending suggest that the real growth rate was only around three percent. That is to say, less than half of India’s.

The other thing that will hold China back in future is a steady fall in the population of working age.

India’s birth rate is still 2.7 children per woman (though it’s falling fast).

China’s is at most 1.7, and the onechild policy means that it may even be lower than that. So fewer and fewer young Chinese are entering the work-force, whereas there will be no shortage of young Indians.

India’s total population will overtake China’s in less than five years (they are both around 1.3 billion), and after that the gap will steadily widen. While China’s population shrinks and its economic growth slows, India is only now entering the golden quarter-century of highspeed economic growth. In 25 years’ time, India may be back in the position it occupied for most of the past two thousand years: the biggest economy in Asia.

Rosanne Fortier The 30 graduates represented princes and princesses at St. Mary’s School’s Graduation Ceremony at Vegreville Social Centre on May 22.

The theme was “Take pride in how far you come, and have faith in how far you can go.”

Graduates people will hold this message in their hearts throughout their lifetime, using individual strengths and efforts to invent innovative means to improve the

world.

Kassidy Dymtriw and Tyler Spanier, MCs held everyone’s attention with their witty and well-versed statements.

“St. Mary’s School is a small part of the life you are going to create for yourself. Success is a loaded word not easily defined by one action, one job or one choice.

Success has largely been defined by money and power but maybe it should be redef ined.

Catholic education

has prepared you to make decisions based on personal faith. You are ready to take the gifts God has given you and expand on them.”

Mrs. Charlene Melenka, Elk Island Catholic School Board Trustee said. “The challenge will be to determine which perspective will govern your life on the road to success.

Will you redefine success as a place of wisdom, harmony and strength? As Father said in mass, will you be joyful?

Will you journey with Christ by your side and in your heart? The world you are entering desperately needs people who are well-founded in wisdom and have a strong moral compass. Be strong as

you move forward and remember we are all a child of God and meant to shine in His glory.”

Mr. Michael Hauptman, Superintendent of EICS issued a speech where he stated how important it is to be joyful in life. “The treasures you have in Vegreville are amazing. Of all the places I go to, when I come here, I truly feel what it is like to be a part of a community. You share your gifts together as a community. The spirit of the staff, the soul of the students and the heart of the school is what makes you special.”

Hauptman said.

“Pope Francis said that young adults taking on the future

must restore hope to young people, help the old, spread love be poor among the poor, include the exclusive and preach peace. What amazing words and I challenge you to live by those words” “Thank you to the Grad Class of 2015.

A drink can pack more punch with age AHS Submitted

You may not be whooping it up at the bar or falling down drunk at Sunday dinner, but as you age, you could be drinking too much alcohol without even knowing it.

Coping with unresolved grief, stress, boredom, anxiety, depression and loneliness can all lead older adults to drink more, says Cindy King, program manager of Urban Services, Addiction and Mental Health at Alberta Health Services.

Depending on your health and state of mind, a single drink can pack a lot more punch than when you were in your 20s or 30s. Our body’s ability to process alcohol changes as we age. We have a lower proportion of body water, slower metabolism

and fewer enzymes, which can all increase the potency of alcohol.

The truth is, alcohol misuse can be harmful at any age. But when you’re 50 or older, alcohol can pose more serious problems because you’re more likely to take medications or have deteriorating health.

“Alcohol interacts with more than 150 medications commonly prescribed for seniors,” King says.

Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines strongly advise not drinking at all if using medications or other drugs that interact with alcohol. The guidelines also recommend not drinking at all when driving or using tools, working, caring for others and several other situations.

Detecting problem drinking (in yourself or others) is not always easy because the

signs are similar to symptoms related to aging, such as an overall decline in health, social isolation (introversion), memory loss, sexual difficulties, depression, insomnia and falls.

That’s why you may want to ask yourself: how much do I drink—in a week or a day?

Ultimately, the more aware you are about how much you drink, the less likely it will become a problem.

If you are concerned about your own or another person’s drinking, call the 24hour Addiction and Mental Health Helpline at 1.866.332.2322.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I am one of five administrative managers in the same secretary pool. We all switch around when someone is on vacation, traveling on business or a department needs additional help. All of us have been here for at least seven years and get along very well. Just recently one woman left to start a family and Annette was hired to fill the position. She is nice and like her predecessor, gets along with everyone. She is always professional and courteous and her attire is within the dress code, but her style, in my opinion, is a bit too risqué for the office. There is no sexual harassment or anything like that, but I think the attention she draws is causing others to disrespect us as a group. I can't put my finger on it, but it's the looks I see people giving her and the whispering that sometimes occurs when one of us enters the room. Since I plan on staying with this company, should I say something about her attire or just hope it passes.

lucky our wives let us pick out our own outfits!

Cash: Your situation sounds more like a high school than a professional environment. Although you probably didn't plan it, it seems the five of you formed a clique in the office and now with a new co-worker in the mix, things are not quite the same anymore.

Carry: However, unlike high school, everyone here is a grownup and an employee of a company.

That means you need to act accordingly and work together within your group.

Cash: Keep in mind that dress styles are often subjective. One person's "inappropriate" may be perfectly fine to another.

Carry: Since Annette is still

new, give her some time to adjust to the job. She may be dressing up, hoping to impress and fit in or it may just be her style. In either case, it's best to focus more on the job and less on her outfits.

Cash: And until someone actually says something to you about your group or performance, just ignore the whispers. People love to gossip at the office. When the uniqueness of the new person wears off, they'll probably just find something else to whisper about.

Carry: Besides, you never know how long Annette will stay in your pool. She may swim to another company or worse, be promoted and become your boss!

Fast Facts Electronic Gossip

Reader Humor Here's a Tip

Today's technology makes it easier than ever to spread important information. Unfortunately, it makes it easier than ever to share gossip as well. And the office environment is no exception.

Before you click 'send' on the latest office rumor, consider this. A recent survey found that 60% of workers say office gossip is their number one pet peeve and annoyance at the workplace. So while many people use rumors and gossip as a bonding experience, remember that the next time somebody clicks 'send', it could be about you!

My husband, Burt, believes that hard work gets rewarded. To celebrate our anniversary, he dressed up in a formal tuxedo and took me to a very fine restaurant, where coincidently his company president was having dinner as well. As we walked to our table, the president held up a hand and waved my husband over.

Thinking he was finally noticed for his ten years of hard work, Burt went over to their table.

Minutes later he returned embarrassed and told me that the president mistook him for the waiter and asked for a martini. "Oh my goodness," I laughed. "What did you say?"

"What could I say?" my husband shrugged. "I asked if he wanted it shaken or stirred?"

(Thanks to Janet Y.)

Shirts & Ties It seems wearing "business-casual" is on the rise. A survey by an online job site found that 78% of executives prefer to dress in casual clothing at the office. Dressing relaxed can lead people to conclude you're more creative or more fun. Unfortunately, it can also cause people to take you less seriously according to the survey. And as it turns out, "suiting-up" or wearing conventional business attire can have its advantage.

About 70% of those who dress for success are perceived to be at a more senior level and 60% are taken more seriously.

Would you benefit from Counselling?

Karin Hitchcock, M. C., CCC Community Counsellor

Life certainly has its “ups and downs” and it’s difficult to know how to deal with a problem in your life when it gets big and appears unsolvable! Family and friends may lend a supportive ear but it’s challenging for people who are emotionally connected to us to be helpful.

People who are close to us want to be protective and may have their own issues relating to our problem. There are times when our challenges are deeply personal and we may not want to burden our family with our problems. A trained counsellor (also called a counselling therapist, or therapist) may help

when you need an outside perspective.

Many individuals are often uncomfortable with the concept of personal counselling and may fear seeing a therapist because they see it as a sign of weakness. Other people may believe that seeing a therapist is admitting that they have serious mental health issues and that it’s expensive. I often hear the “How does that make you feel?” joke quite often when people talk about visiting a counsellor. It makes me laugh too but it can be a bit more complex than asking that one basic question.

Counselling can provide an individual with the opportunity to explore sensitive issues in a safe and

supportive environment. A trained

Karin Hitchcock, M. C., CCC Community Counsellor

counsellor does not “tell” people what to do but merely provides the opportunity to help create positive change in an individual, couple, or family’s environment. A counsellor may help someone deal with a serious roadblock in his/ her life, connect to outside supports, help in repairing relationships, and share a variety of tools to manage stressors. The purpose of counselling is to address chal-

lenges which interfere in living a healthy life.

Counsellors are required to treat all clients with the strictest confidentiality and may only break this confidentiality if there is a safety issue and someone may be hurt.

Most individuals who engage in counselling often report an increased sense of happiness and wellbeing as well as improved relationships and better communication sk il ls.

Education and

training differ amongst therapists, so finding one who is right for you is important. Clients need to feel safe, supported, and comfortable with a counsellor. It is important for a counsellor to honour an individual’s values, beliefs, lifestyle, and spiritual connections. Most clients may attend counselling for a short period (3 - 6 sessions) and then may have the occasional visit as a “check in” every few months.

If you find that

you are faced with a challenge that appears unsolvable and you’re not sure where to turn, you may find that visiting a counselling therapist may be helpful.

Karin is the Community Counsellor with FCSS in Vegreville and also has a private practice. She holds a master’s degree in counselling psychology and is a member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

you are the ones to make me feel so welcome at St. Mary’s.”

Mrs. Tanya Thiessen, Principal said.

“Being in high school is much like being in a fish bowl.

Everyday has its usual routines and motions. Now you have a chance to escape the bowl and

have a life of challenge, joy and new experiences.

Graduation is your freedom to become big fishes and do exceptional things.

It will be hard and sometimes scary but we know that you are ready. We want you to travel, fall in love and find a career and have

full and happy lives.

May God bless every one of you; you are amazing and so loved.”

Brooke Esquirol a nd Taylor Kosteriva issued a tribute to the parents where they stated that the parents fulfilled every role possible. “Not one graduate in this

room would be where they are today if it wasn’t for [a parent’s] constant love and support.

Thank you for the discipline, encouragement and friendship. Thank you for being the best role models and always being someone we can turn to.”

“It takes a special type of patience to teach teenagers but we had some of the best teachers who taught us with a smile and forced us to make it through.”

Sarah Osko and Rachel Stefaniuk said while they presented their tribute to the teachers.

These young ladies continued to describe each teacher’s passion for the subjects they taught. “Every day at St. Mary’s the staff go above and beyond their job descriptions to help us succeed. They are some of the most unique and caring support systems any class could ask for. You truly made our time at St. Mary’s School an excellent experience.

“Tonight, we celebrate 12 long years of hard work and perseverance. We are proud of our accomplishments, anxious of what lies ahead and we have sadness in our hearts because this celebration signifies the end of our journey together. We have experienced the good and the bad and by doing so, we formed unbreakable bonds.”

Carly Schultz, Valedictorian said.

“We have consistently been surrounded by loving and caring staff.

Every teacher at St. Mary’s tries their

best to develop a personal connection with the students and this allowed my class to feel more like family than acquaintances.”

“Our families have been the backbones of our lives. They raised us to be respectable, compassionate individuals. Without them, we could not be the people we are today.

Now, it’s our turn and responsibility to carry forth the school’s legacy of pride inspired by faith, knowledge and honor.” Carly added.

The honorable graduates were Kelsi Balaban, Dylan Bauer, Jonalyne Bermillo, Kaylee Bohrson, Kassidy Dmytriw, Brooke Esquirol, Casey Fisher, Trevor Fisher, Danielle Giffin, Sabrina Hank, Courtney Horon, Katrina Johnson, Taylor Kosteriva, MacArthur Kowalchuk, Shalan Launhardt, Clayton Males, Daylan Manz, Mikayla Miskew, Sarah Osko, Tristan Portas, Britney Powley, Carly Schultz, Tyler Spanier, Rachel Stefaniuk, Derek Tatarin, Sarah Thompson, Marcos Trosin, Gage Warrington, Brynnn Weinkauk, April Yaremko.

VVA Introduces ... Freezer Paper Foundation Piecing Bev McCarty VVA What is Freezer Paper Foundation Piecing?

This method of making a quilt or wall-hanging uses a numbered freezer paper pattern as a foundation for piecing the quilt block, ensuring crisp, preciselypieced blocks. If you can stitch on a straight line you can foundation piece!

What tools do you need to paper piece a quilt block?

You will need a paper pieced pattern, freezer paper, an Add-a-quarter ruler, a postcard, a cutting mat, rotary cutter, an iron and ironing board, sewing machine and fabrics to complete your block.

What frame of mind must you have to paper piece?

You need patience, patience, patience!

It is best if you have ample time to work on your project without having to hurry because you will be working on the wrong side of the block. Many blocks have angles and to fit your fabric to the pattern requires you to

think of the mirror image. The results of paper pieced blocks can be spectacular so it is well worth the effort to learn this method of quilting. If you are experiencing trouble, or do not understand the method it is easy to google or find help on u tube.

How do you prepare your pattern?

Make a copy of your pattern, either by tracing or photocopying.

To make multiple foundations quickly and easily, cut several pieces of freezer paper shiny side up and staple the pattern on top.

Use an unthreaded sewing machine to “trace” by sewing along the pattern

lines. Number your pattern pieces on the dull side of the freezer paper.

REMEMBER – your pattern will be reversed.

How do you sew your fabric to the pattern?

Take your # 1 fabric piece making sure that you have at least 3/8 inch overlap on all sides of the pattern and press (with a dry iron) the shiny side of the freezer paper to the wrong side of the fabric.

Using your postcard, fold back your freezer paper pattern on the line between #1 and #2. Set the Add-aquarter ruler on the edge of the folded paper and cut off extra fabric

with your rotary cutter. You will be left with a seam allowance of ¼ inch. Take your # 2 fabric and match up the seam allowance from underneath (right sides together) and sew along right next to the freezer paper.

Finger press your seam open, then fold out the freezer paper and iron it onto the fabric just added. Trim as you did in Step One and continue adding fabrics in numerical order always trimming

to ¼ inch before adding the next piece. When you have completed the block give it a good press from the paper side of the freezer paper.

Using a rotary cutter and ruler, trim the block. If the ¼ inch seam allowance is included in your pattern trim to the edge of the freezer paper. If it is not included, measure out ¼ inch and cut. Carefully remove the freezer paper from the completed block.

son’s body on the scene of the crash.

“We do our best to get to them every year. The parent re-enactment is one of the keys.”

Sometimes seeing a set of legs poking out from under a vehicle with a pool of blood is another.

In Vegreville, Veg Al-Drug Society bought the rights to administer the PARTY Program 12 years ago. Rowe said it’s had a huge impact on kids ever since, and he feels strongly as a veteran firefighter that it’s helped reduce the

along with experiencing a collision caused by an impaired or distracted driver.

During the PARTY Program presentation, kids watched from ground zero of two separate car crashes onward as fire fighters had to remove an injured passenger from a vehicle, paramedics tried to resuscitate a “dead” teen, and police arrested an impaired driver while a screaming, grief stricken par-

ent mourned the loss of a child. The experience is designed to be as visceral as possible so that the audience, a new crop of young teens on the cusp of getting a learner’s license and soon after a driver’s license, understand the full responsibility ahead of them once they’ve got a set of keys in their hands.

“I think we hit home with some kids today,” Phil Rowe, who acted out the role of a father identifying his dead

occasions where he’s had to pull an impaired driver or passenger from a collision scene to very few.

Put on each year through partnerships with MODEL Project, both high schools, the RCMP, Veg Fire Department and Emergency Services, Alberta Health, Traffic Safety, Park Memorial, St. Joseph ’s General Hospital, and Municipal Enforcement, the combined efforts of all do a good job of driving home the impacts of drinking and driving. Back at the

June 3, 2015

scene of the crash, “survivors” were driven by ambulance to the hospital strapped to a gurney, their necks immobilized. Classmates were led through the various trauma stations at the hospital and shown what goes on when a crash victim is brought through.

One “dead” victim was placed in a body bag and put into a hearse. Another was arrested and placed in the back of a cop cruiser. The remaining kids got to hear about the legal ramifications of being a drunk driver, tour the hospital, and visit the morgue.

To continue to make an impact, after lunch at the fire hall, students heard from Amanda Stuhl-Oling, who broke down how her father was killed by an impaired driver on October 23, 2004 near Drayton Valley. Her story is a compelling one that looks at all the factors that led up to the crash, so kids could spot the patterns and, if in similar circumstances, make better choices.

In Oling’s case, her father’s car was hit by a young man, Trevor James Greenway, who’d stolen a vehicle while impaired. When the collision occurred, both vehicles erupted into f lames.

Passing motorists were able to pull the impaired driver from his car and douse the f lames that engulfed him, but not

save her father, 55-year-old Robin Stuhl, who burned to death in his car.

Greenway served a few years in jail, but got into drugs, fighting and crime, a symptom of the trauma of being the perpetrator of the accident that took Stuhl’s life, Oling thinks. “He went down a path after that accident and he never recovered.” Greenways’ life ended a few years later in 2011 when he was found shot to death in an SUV parked at a Cemetery in Edmonton in 2011.

Oling also spoke about the laws in Canada that deal with drunk driving, educated kids about tolerance limits (which, for new drivers with a Graduated Driver’s License is a big fat Zero), liability for party hosts and employers if a guest from a function drives away and causes a collision, and last with a compelling slideshow designed to jerk few tears and leave kids with the question “what are you willing to lose?

Oling was a former Community Peace Officer of 15 years. She’s now a public presenter, using her loss to save lives.

“My father’s legacy is that my dad didn’t die for nothing. Now he’s saving lives at the cost of his own.”

One in a million!

Ben Warren holds up the ball he was using when he made his one-in-a-million Albatross shot on the fifth hole of the Vegreville Kinsmen Golf Course on May 18. Pictured is the view from where Warren was standing when he made his 254-yard drive from the fairway into the hole. (Michael Simpson/Photos)

Michael Simpson Editor 65-year-old Ben Warren didn’t think that day of golf back in mid-May was going to be any different than the rest.

T he ret i red Newfoundlander had just bought a Nike Three-wood from his son in law for $75 up in Ft. McMurray, headed to the Vegreville Kinsmen Golf Course for a round with his buddies, including Ed Ogrodnick, Sid Smith and Leroy Corpe.

As the boys teed off from the fifth hole, a par-5 shot, Warren’s golf buddies were joking with him about his golf stance, which they found a little

unusual compared to conventional form.

Warren drove a beautiful shot up the fairway, a 277-yard drive, to lay up for his second shot, hopefully somewhere near the green. When he lined up and drove from the fairway with his new but gently used 3-wood, he lost sight of the ball near the edge of the green.

Thinking he’d have to grab his wedge and chip onto the green, Warren and his buddies zipped up and began searching around the green’s edge for his ball, a Titleist, which had gone missing off his second shot.

After some minutes, Warren jokingly sug-

gested to Leroy “hey, why don’t you go check the cup and see if it’s in there?” and off Leroy went. To everyone’s surprise, there was Warren’s ball, in the hole on a 254-yard drive from the middle of the fairway. Coming in three under par, Warren’s shot was an Albatross, which according to the odds, is a one-in-a-million shot.

“I called my son-inlaw and told him the price of the club had just went up,” Warren joked. He also bought a lottery ticket since the odds were in his favour. Time will tell if his luck holds further.

“I am our Country’s flag-the Flag of Canada. I was born in freedom.

I can be found flying proudly in schools, community halls, courtrooms, churches and parliaments across the length and breadth of our great nation-from Newfoundland to British Columbiaform the North Pole to the United States border…”

Leola Nawrot, member of Vegreville’s Lion’s Club instructed in

a clear voice.

“I am especially proud to be worn by our international peacekeepers who are doing their very best to bring peace and stability to many troubled areas of our world.”

Nawrot said. “I can be found throughout the world on the uniforms of our Olympic Athletics and on those worn by our Girl Guides and Boy Scouts here at home.”

“I am a beacon of hope to the oppressed and downtrodden. I stand for tolerance and truth; honesty and humility; and most of all, I offer opportunity to millions who have come to our shores.

“My strength comes from our people, and I will remain strong as long as grandmothers and grandfathers, mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters are proud of me. I am proud to belong to you.”

A strong record on the environment Leon Benoit MP Vegreville - Wainwright Our Conservative Government is proud of our record on the environment.

Since 2006, we’ve invested nearly $18 billion to support the environment, including measures to protect of our air and water and through substantial investments in clean energy.

We have also taken action on climate change, introducing

regulations on the two largest emitting sectors—transportation and coal-fired electricity. Since 2005, Canadian greenhouse gas emissions have decreased 4.8 percent while the economy has grown by 8.4 percent and our emissions per capita have decreased significantly.

Contrary to the assertions of the Liberals, we are

cutting red tape – not protection. For example, our waterways are protected under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Fisheries Act and the Migratory Birds Convention Act, as well as marine safety legislation.

In contrast, Mr. Trudeau and the Liberals have confirmed their plan to

introduce a job-killing carbon tax which will greatly harm our economy, kill jobs and increase the cost of gas, groceries and everything else. Our Conservative Government has always been opposed to a carbon tax. We will continue to reduce taxes and deliver benef its directly to families while implementing firm targets for Canada’s largest

Farm Safety – more than just a single week Agri-News Although Canadian Agricultural Safety Week occured March 15-21 this year, any time is a great time for farmers, farm workers and families to initiate discussion around safety and implementing a health and safety system on their farms.

“It is important to create and implement a health and safety management system that encompasses all aspects of a farm’s operations for the entire year,” says Laurel Aitken, farm safety coordinator for Alberta Agriculture and Ru ra l Development (ARD). “The important first step to creating this system is for farm owners and managers to develop a policy outlining their commitment to safety.”

Once that commitment is put in place the next steps are to identify hazards and put controls in place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with those hazards. The very nature of duties associated with farming can make hazard identification a rather daunting task.

However, it is the identification and control of hazards that create a safe environment on any worksite. Continual monitoring for new hazards and report-

ing and investigating incidents enable owners, managers and workers to make continuous improvements.

“When you look at the benefits of creating a health and safety system, there are three main factors: human, legal and financial,” says Aitken.

The human factor benefits of a health and safety system are that it not only meets the moral obligations of keeping workers, visitors and family members safe and healthy, but increases morale, motivation and worker retention while meeting consumer expectations of how food is pro-

duced. From a legal standpoint a documented safety plan proves due diligence to avoid legal issues and reduces the likelihood of civil or criminal code penalties. The financial benefits of a health and safety system include consistent productivity, more effective service delivery, reduction in indirect costs, less equipment or property damage and, in some cases, reduction of insurance fees.

There are many tools and resources available to help farm owners and managers develop a health and safety management system on their farm.

Alberta

Agriculture and Rural Development is now in the final stages of completing the second pilot program to test the Alberta FarmSafe Plan. The plan is a tool to help farmers implement a tailored health and safety system for their farming operation. It was developed in conjunction with Alberta Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour and the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association. The Alberta FarmSafe Plan will be available to help Alberta farmers implement their own health and safety management system this fall.

emitters.

What is wrong w it h our Government’s approach of legislating standards and making sure com-

panies meet those standards?

This approach has allowed Canada to emerge from the recession in much better shape than

other G-20 countries and will allow us to balance our federal budget this year, while other countries continue to add to their much

larger debts.

In short, our plan for the environment has actually worked.

Which approach do you prefer?

Meet Vegreville’s triumphant artist, Lee Abel Rosanne Fortier Yes, you can make a living off of creating artwork! You just have to be persistent, have the desire and place a real value on your work. “People respect and cherish artwork that they pay enough for.”

Local artist, Lee Abel

stated.

Lee held ‘A Life of Art Exhibition’ which showcased oil paintings, soap stone carvings and other mediums of Lee’s artwork at Wilde & Company since March 12. Lee sold one-third of his artwork that was on display.

“I was born in Saskatchewan and art was something I have always done. When I was 13 years old, I got a job at the church parish and I learned how to do anything that had to be done; landscaping, building, doing repairs on equipment, decorating for Christmas and

Easter and more. I did this till I graduated from high school. From it, I learned so many skills and how to be creative in the way that I try to do something different with my artwork every chance I have.” Lee commented.

“Once I learn how to do a technique, I want to do something else. It’s the experience of knowing and trying different things [that is of benefit].

You learn through your struggles and mistakes.

You have to be flexible.”

“In 1962, I moved to Vegreville and started working as an accountant with Wilde& Company.

[After five years] I moved to Calgary - a city really promotes the arts - which made me really interested in the arts. I took numerous private art courses. In 1972, I moved back to Vegreville and in the 70’s I attended the Banff School of Fine Arts which was a great experience that I’ll never

forget.

I was totally immersed in all the arts; visual, performing and creative arts. ” Lee said. “I also taught art in the 70’s.

A few of my students in Vegreville went on to be artists. ” “I like to paint because I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when a project turns out well. I capture a picture and

paint from it or I take it from my imagination. I learned how to do abstract art from Banff ’s School. I have also done fish mounting, leather work and lots of different types of art. ” Lee mentioned.

Lee noted that he really appreciates Wilde & Company for sponsoring his “A Life of Art” exhibition.

Seniors can do some scam proofing by downloading the Little Black Book of Scams, a 30 page document available online that lists the most well-known scams out there. Armed with some knowledge, an elderly citizen, often a favourite target of scam artists, can avoid being taken for a ride. Vegreville’s Community Peace Officer Dustin Angle had the low-down on scam awareness on May 13 at the Sunshine Club for seniors. (Michael Simpson/Photo)

sentation on May 13 at the Vegreville Seniors Sunshine Club to a group of seniors who took it upon themselves to come out and get the right information on how to avoid being caught up in a scam. Guilt seems to be a tool of the trade of many scammers, said Angle.

“Seniors will often get scam calls from people pretending to be their grandkids, whether they get the name right or not.

There’s been instances where a senior gets a call in the middle of the night from someone claiming they’re a grandchild, and that they’re in jail or in the hospital and they need money right away to solve some sort of problem.

Other times, lonely widowers will be contacted by someone trying to strike up a romance.

They’ll exchange a few letters or emails, and then they’ll get the pitch asking for money to come see them or to help them with something.”

Angle said if someone thinks that they’ve been scammed, the best

thing they can do may be that thing they want to do the least – contact the RCMP. “People who get scammed are often embarrassed once they realize they’ve been duped. They don’t want to let people know, they don’t want to look foolish, but telling the police is the best way to stop someone else from being scammed,” Angle said.

The other tactic is the door-to-door scam. “Our approach is the iron fist; ask for a business license.

[Legitimate] door to door solicitors have to have one.”

Angle explained that as a bylaw enforcement officer, he can investigate whether or not a business licence is legitimate, as it should be on file in the town that the solicitor is canvassing. If

they don’t have a copy of it, it’s not the real deal. “Also, never give a deposit for anything someone is selling at the door or over the phone,” he said. “If it sounds fishy, it probably is.

Call the police, and they can investigate from there.”

A useful tool seniors can have handy is the Little Black Book of Scams, found online at the Government of Canada’s Competition Bureau.

The following web address will take readers to the downloading page: http://tiny.cc/uq3gyx.

Inside the 30 page booklet are the most recently known scams running.

Getting acquainted with the contents of the book can fortify a senior against

the variations that are being used out in the world. For example, there are no such things as Nigerian Princes, and you don’t need to secure a cruise line prize with your credit card over the phone.

Additionally, the RCMP have an anti-scam unit that deals with inquiries, Angle said.

Environmental sustainability is a state of mind Michael Simpson Editor The concept of environmental sustainability has been around since the time North America was seeing the first missionaries and explorers, and eventually settlers. While these early pioneers were taking their first steps on soils previously foreign to them, a scientific revolution was brewing back in Europe through the likes of Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Descartes, Bacon and many other “revolutionary” thinkers.* Many scholars on the subject of environmental conservation and sensitivity have pointed to Christianity as a major culprit for the consumptive and destructive nature of European settlement in North America. Traditional spiritual beliefs of First Nations cultures

strove to live in harmony with nature and consume in proportion to what was locally available; Christianity’s position of human dominance over nature has been a stark contrast, predicated on the feeling that the earth was a gift

hunting of the great Buffalo herds on the plains, or commercial fishing which has at times nearly depleted entire stocks of fish off the Atlantic shores. As scientific thinkers gained traction in Europe however, so did their belief that the

unto them from God to be used for food, materials and other supplies as required.* Examples of this in action include the ravenous fur trade from the 17th to 19th century in Canada, the

planet and Universe it was in, functioned with a set of mathematical laws that couldn’t be ignored. From this comes one of the most well known concepts – supply and demand. Over time, the introduction of scarcity over natural resources has birthed a greater global awareness that unless new approaches are taken, basics essential to life will run out, and humanity will perish.

In modern times, municipalities are

often left with limited policies and funding to support them from the provincial and federal governments.

Generally, a list of “Thou shalt not’s” accompany most environmental Acts. As Federal transfer payments receded from their peak levels in the 70’s, particularly unconditional grants, municipalities are left with new problems to face and scant resources to face them with. Some limited rebate programs exist for profit and nonprofit entities to encourage certain types of activity, such as bio-refining crops to supplement fossil fuel consumption, or for general educational programs that promote recycling, land conservation practices, such as ALUS in our area, or supports for conservation groups like Ducks Unlimited.

Cities, towns and villages could, and eventually will need to do more however to deal with future scarcity issues. Often, sustainability practices are put in place when a problem has already occurred, and while they enjoy varied levels of success one has to wonder if the results wouldn’t be better if plans had been put into practice before it was too late.

In Vegreville, there are some successful measures being taken by the Town with respect to being environmentally aware. Programs such as Vegreville’s Residential Recycling Program, Residential Compost Program, Central Recycling DropOff Centre, and reports like the Regional Collaboration Solid Waste & Recycling Feasibility Study all indicate that the mindset is developing at the municipal level to deal with future issues before they’re overly problematic. One of these problems is the filling of Vegreville’s sanitary landfill cells with waste at a rate too quick to be cost effective. By implementing the

residential compost program, 40% of waste generated during summer months – lawn clippings – has been taken out of the landfill’s waste stream and sent away to Growing Power Hairy Hill to become a renewable energy source.

Between 2011 and 2013 the Town’s program had diverted 143,180 kilograms of compostable materials from the landfill. This is part of the overall effort to reduce waste going into the landfill through recycling and composting, which has added decades onto the landfill’s lifespan and deferred millions in cell-capping and construction costs for many years to come. As the town continues working with the County of Minburn on educating residents on the benefits of recycling practices, adds services to collect recyclable materials from rural and urban users, the benefits can only increase. They have also formed a waste management committee to work with neighbouring municipalities to develop educational pieces to bring the culture of conservation and recycling into the homes of users of the waste system.

This choice of action not only is an attempt to decrease Vegreville’s ecological footprint but to provide governance towards sustainability by adopting policies that support environmental stewardship, supported by a public engagement process through the educational components.

If the municipality had chosen instead to save money to build fresh cells for the landfill, rather than attempted to curb the volume of waste generated, the result could have been a loss of developable land within the municipality that could later add a viable tax base, such as residential or industrial growth, increased risk to the land surrounding the landfill, and a fresh generation taking over governance without an appreciation for the value of sustainability practices.

Currently, the standards for landfills are a set of minimum requirements for public and private operators to follow. In the same sense that all roads lead to Rome, all systems related to waste management originate from these standards. As the Province sets the 20,000 ft. view with these standards, action should be taken to force operators to incorporate sustainability practices into their landfills, not simply environmental thresholds not to be exceeded.

Without a firm guiding hand to sustainability, the will to be sustainable is often weak in the face of a profit margin.

In Okotoks, a looming water shortage for the rapidly booming community led them to develop a water conservation strategy that ultimately cut the whole Town’s consumption by a staggering 40%.

This was a combination of a localized rebate program for installing water-efficient washers, dishwashers and toilets, a targeted education efforts (door knocking on highusage households, supplying hom-

eowners with conservation tips and strategies to save on their water bill), clamping down on the Town’s water loss by upgrading leaky pipes and valves, water management software, facility enhancements and better leak detection systems (putting the loss rate down to an impressive 3.8%). In Okotoks’ case, spending $1 million upfront saved the Town $56 million down the road in additional water license purchases but also left more water for everyone else in the region to drink. Despite the intent to benefit themselves, everyone around them benefitted as well.

Back in Vegreville, it’s debatable if there’s a need to frontload the same investment. The Town’s water supply is still well in hand through a pipeline feed from Edmonton, having long abandoned its Vermilion river-fed reservoir in the 70’s to stay ahead of the expected needs of a growing population. At present, there is no water conservation policy in place similar to what Okotoks has developed out of its own need. Without pressure, would the Town make the investment? Direction to do so may have to come from residents applying pressure to their councillors for action to be taken.

Whether Vegreville residents take action or not, a proposed policy amendment is being put forward to the province from the collective representation of municipalities themselves in the form of the AUMA’s work on the Alberta Water Act. According to the AUMA, local efforts to advance sustainability in the areas of water consumption can be enhanced by expanding on the Alberta Water Act, which assigns priority to the household consumer, but does not mandate that municipalities must employ sustainability planning in their water utility provisions. This Act regulates responsible consumption by industry, but does not acknowledge the day when, despite industries following regulations, there will not be enough water to supply not only new industry, but future residential consumption as well. This very issue was at the heart of a denied development appeal in Beaver County recently where the case of industrial water use versus rural agriculture and personal consumer usage were at odds with each other. Industry was denied, but this will not be the last time we see this clash of needs.

The Water Act is 15 years out of date; however a new proposed policy amendment by the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association calls for conservation, efficiency and productivity targets and actions for the urban municipal sector.

The AUMA policy calls for target reductions for per capita use of 30 per

cent by 2020, and maintaining the ‘unaccounted for’ water levels at 10 per cent or better. This is what is being done in the ‘have’ areas of the world.

In the ‘have-not’ areas, the supply of available freshwater is dwindling. Knowing of the importance of water conservation is indeed making a global difference, but often too late in places like India, where freshwater is contaminated with human feces and waste.

Sickness runs rampant in poor areas, and children die to the tune of a million a year due to lack of clean water. The culture surrounding water conservation has spread through municipal leaders into community service groups such as Rotary Club, who, in addition to their vaccination campaign against polio, are strong advocates for developing sustainable drinking water systems in third-world countries – often with locally developed technologies. Most municipalities often stop worrying at the edge of their borders, in this instance service clubs have the ability to move beyond to solve the same issues on a global scale. Service clubs can mobilize on an issue faster and with greater impact than local governments can, particularly due to a looser framework regarding how they spend their monies compared to municipal governments, which are bound by the MGA in how they can address issues.

On the topic of renewable energy, the Land Use Committee in Vegreville is now looking into an Alternative Energy policy. It will need to address the risk-management aspect of allowing people to enter into micro-generation on their own lands, cosmetic issues and health issues such as regulations pertaining to radio frequency exposure levels. Ultimately however, the policy should strive to be inclusive for businesses and individuals who want to enter into the world of alternative energy options for their home or commercial property. If Vegreville reduces its carbon footprint further by creating an environment where micro-generation is supported by the municipality, consumption

levels decrease, pollutive outputs decrease and, should the Town itself embrace the culture of sustainable energy in its own operating practices, operating costs could also see a significant decrease.

Lastly, the topics of available food supply and alternative energy will soon become more prevalent. At a recent luncheon at St. Martin’s School, Principal Joe Dumont explained to guests how children today are being prepped for jobs that don’t yet exist in tomorrow’s world. One of these is urban agriculture. Again, surrounded by abundant and fertile fields growing crops, it’s hard to imagine a need to think about producing food on rooftops, in community gardens, windowsills, etc. With the global population set to hit 9 billion by 2050 however, the problems of food scarcity will inevitably make an impact on communities like Vegreville. It could simply mean that prices for food are much higher, presenting a problem for low income families to get access to a healthy diet, or it could become far worse, with demand exceeding supply and a limited selection being available on a regional basis, forcing people to “grow their own” or go without in terms of fruit and vegetables. High-population areas like Edmonton and Calgary will most likely first experiment with solutions to this problem, but is there harm to considering what that looks like in Vegreville’s case in the near future, before it’s an issue?

Much of these topics is

expanded upon in great detail, both the history surrounding the issue, and possible solutions, in Mark Roseland’s book “Towards Sustainable Communities: Solutions for Citizens and Their Governments” (Fourth edition) Could there be more work done?

The short answer is yes, but always the benefit itself, and who the benefactors are, is still measured against the cost of taking action.

Work to address these topics before they become full-blown problems must begin with a strong mindset that they are important to work on now, and for that to happen, we all must be aware that these issues will inevitably have an impact on us and our children. Perhaps embracing the idea that you can’t eat money is the first step. * With files from University of Alberta Sustainable Communities course, 2015.

ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen Recipe VEGETABLE RIBBON SALAD For a salad that’s quite out of the ordinary, try the Vegetable Ribbon Salad. Instead of crisp, crunchy lettuce, this salad is all about the zucchini, carrot and cucumber, which are turned into thin, wide strips with a veggie peeler.

1/4 cup (50 mL) canola oil 2 tbsp (25 mL) white wine vinegar 4 tsp (20 mL) chopped fresh dill 2 tsp (10 mL) fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp (1 mL) granulated sugar 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper

1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) salt 2 medium zucchini, trimmed and cut in half crosswise 1 large carrot, trimmed and cut in half crosswise 1/2 English cucumber, trimmed and seeded

1. To prepare dressing, whisk together oil, vinegar, dill, lemon juice, sugar, pepper and salt until blended; set aside.

2. Using a vegetable peeler and cutting lengthwise, cut long, thin, ribbon-like strips from zucchini, carrot and cucumber. There should be about 4 cups (1 L) packed zucchini strips, 1 cup (250 mL) packed carrot strips and 1 cup (250 mL) packed cucumber strips.

3. Combine zucchini, carrot and cucumber in a bowl.

4. Add dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately. Serves 8.

Cook’s note: ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen used two 8 inch (20 cm) long zucchini in this recipe.
