Rosanne Fortier An aged barn, downhome garments, western drawls, and fun-loving personalities complimented

old-fashioned fiddle music with a new charm and twist when the Fiddlin’ Kiddlins brought natural flair for playing music at their 16th

annual concert at St. Mary’s High School on May 4.

The theme was Down on the Farm, and the performers ranged in age from six

to 81-years-old. The theatre was full as the audience reveled in the 34 performances. This concert was directed by Fiddlin’ found-

er Heather Soldan with her assistant, Callina Kirk.

The guest performers/ accompanists were George Sample, Bob Ashmead, and Lois Crocker. The sound man was George Sample.

Caribou Shuffle, written by a rancher in Central B.C’s Caribou country, was the first selection to be played that evening following the national anthem.

Song, featuring Aria and Norah held an easy, soft tone while a breeze riffled through the room, making this folk song feel like wind went through it.

Classic songs of Pop Goes the Weasel and Minuet 2 by J.S. Bach which featured Winnie performing added an elegant and familiar touch.

Boil Them Cabbage was blended, energetic, interacted and harmonized in a manner that the melody danced around it.

A seasoned fiddler, Heather played Pig Ankle Rag/Pig Pen Polka with strong melodic hooks.

Pleasantries were welcomed in as the flop-eared mule waltzed in. This caused the audience to roar with laughter. Then the Bird Dance followed where the young performers kept in perfect step when they got up and danced.

New country and western, folk, Celtic and religious classics which included Cock o’ the North, Maple Sugar, Rooster in the Yard, Turkey in the Straw, Old Joe Clark, In the Garden, Amazing Grace and more performances concluded the afternoon.

The performers were Ava Gr yku liak , A lyssa Werezuk, Aria Kaechele, Winnie Lange, Mikayla Carrington, Susie Friesen, Malachi Barter, Nicah Barter, Eva Guenter, Callina Kirk, Darlene Lambert, Bill Soldan, Ralph Lange, Velma Sample, Ivy Lambert, Lanaya Carrington, Natalya Hoyteniuk, Norah Hoyteniuk, Jean Galandy, Lisa Guenther, Sara Guenther, Susie Fehr, Heather Soldan, Agnes Burrows and Elizabeth King.

A rich assortment of refreshments and socializing were available during the intermission period.

The Fiddlin’ Kiddlins’ first annual spring concert was held in 1998. The concerts have continued each year due to the community support they have received.

The Fiddlin’ Kiddlins began about 1993, with students of Heather Soldan.

Current members come from Vegreville, Two Hills, Vi k ing, La mont, Willingdon and Myrnam.

“We’ve always done it this way” approach can be a hindrance Lisa Topilko Volunteer Services Coordinator Vegreville & District FCSS This is a phrase I hear often when talking to leaders of volunteers.

Many of them experience much success in the way that they run their organizations; many of them are wondering why new volunteers won’t get involved, particularly in the board or executive positions.

Does your organization have written lists of tasks that each volunteer will complete? And is this available for everyone to see? Do you, as a committee, review these lists and consider re-organizing and/or reprioritizing? If someone new comes along with skills to offer your group, do you allow them to fit in and put their talents to work? Or do you ask them to conform to the tasks set out for each position because “we’ve always done it this way”?

Let’s say a board member’s job

description includes Task A, Task B, and Task C. And another board member is responsible for Task D, Task E, and Task F. What would happen if a new person came along and offered proof that they can professionally do Task B and Task F? Would your organization be ready and willing to talk about reassigning and re-designing the volunteer roles? Of course, one must always consider all the factors: how will the current board members feel about giving up some of their tasks or accepting help and/or new ideas? Will the new board member accomplish their tasks on time and to the satisfaction of the board? Can everyone be given a trial period to see how the new process and assignments work out?

“We’ve always done it this way.”

This can be the approach that causes new people to shy away from volunteering.

Moms are winners in their kids’ eyes

Miss. Kara Bienert’s Grade 5B class from A.L. Horton School announces what makes their mothers special. Some of the comments were that she was so loving that she was like warm soup on a cold day.

Another child added that she had every good quality they could think of. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier A child’s first love is usually their mother. As he or she grows older, they become more independent but continue to need and admire their mothers.

Mothers are the bricks in most children’s character development and growth.

No sacrifice ever seems too large for most mothers. For these reasons, they deserve to be honored and acknowledged every Mother’s Day. Miss Kara Bienert’s Grade 5B class from A.L. Horton School noted what made their mothers special.

Hailey Fried stated, “My mom is special because she

does all the chores and we just take her for granted.

We never stop to really appreciate her. Thank you Mom for all you do for us.”

MP expense disclosure good, but not great Gregory Thomas CTF Federal Director MPs broke with tradition recently, voting unanimously in favour of a Liberal motion (271-0) to post detailed transactions from their travel and hospitality expense accounts on the internet.

This step is undoubtedly in the right direction, but stops short of being considered “enough.” And the debate in the Commons showed that while the vote was unanimous, party opinions on expenses are far from the same. On the issue of MP expense accountability, the NDP took the most principled stand.

MPs and Senators each control hundreds of thousands of dollars of public funds for salaries, contracts, advertising, hospitality, travel and housing allowances.

In years past, taxpayers were only provided with the yearly total spending by each MP or Senator. More recently, the number was broken down into three categories. Then more categories were added as additional incidents of sketchy spending came to light.

The most egregious example was Gilles Duceppe’s decision, as leader of the Bloc Québécois, to put his party’s executive director on the parliamentary payroll, with that person based exclusively in Montreal.

Duceppe also used the Bloc’s parliamentary budget to pay an author to write a history of the Bloc – the book was published, you can still pick up a used copy. Astonishingly, net proceeds were never forwarded to the taxpayers of Canada.

Sadly, the Liberal motion that passed the Commons did not go far enough.

The Conservatives and Liberals blocked an NDP amendment that would have called on the Auditor General to review MP’s expenses.

Peter Julian, an NDP MP from British Columbia, needed unanimous consent to allow the amendment, but the Liberals and Conservatives refused.

As well, there is no provision in the new motion that would compel politicians to show the public the receipts and contracts – the actual documentation – submitted in exchange for the expense money they receive.

In progressive jurisdictions, such as the province of Alberta and the City of Toronto, receipts and contracts submitted by politi-

cians, political staffers, and senior officials are posted online – anyone can inspect the documents with the click of a mouse. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says she will soon introduce legislation that will meet the same high standard of disclosure.

In order to obtain these receipts and contracts from federal cabinet ministers, you need to file an access to information request, pay a fee, and wade through puddles of red tape, often interacting with access-to-information specialists in the affected government department, and sometimes the federal information commissioner’s office.

The Access to Information Act does not apply to federal MPs and Senators, an outrageous example of politicians placing themselves above the

law by writing a loophole for themselves.

Last fall, the Commons committee on procedure held hearings on accountability and disclosure at the behest of the federal NDP caucus.

Conservative and Liberal MPs on the committee agreed in a report that, despite the Senate expense scandal, and contrary to testimony from the Information Commissioner, the Auditor General, and even the Canadian Ta xpayers Federation, there’s still no need to apply the Access to Information Act to MPs, no need for the Auditor General to audit MP expenses, and no need to post receipts and contracts online.

NDP members issued a minority report, demanding these sensible reforms. In the Commons, they stuck to this

principled position, enduring partisan jabs from both the Conservatives and the Liberals, who seem to prefer the appearance of financial accountability to the reality.

The NDP’s Julian, reflecting on the outcome of the Commons debate, said “all that we moved was that the Auditor General be invited to audit the disclosure. Is there nothing more motherhood and apple pie than that: bring in the Auditor General just for this disclosure?”

Apparently not.

It’s clear Canadians will need to keep the heat on Ottawa politicians of every political stripe to do the right thing.

them.

“Selling top quality products is the best way to be rapidly known in your local community,” says Renton.

“Advertising by word of mouth is inexpensive and can be very effective for a small business. Refer to the characteristics of your wood, emphasizing the moisture content more than the species. Provided your wood has a moisture content of about 20 per cent, be sure to communicate this to potential customers as it is a desirable trait. Denser and hotterburning hardwood species such as birch are certainly an asset to your business if you can obtain them, as they will likely be in higher demand than other species.”

Other marketing practices include providing a variety of services around your product, such as delivery, guaranteeing quality, good packaging and size. Local advertising is a great way to

reach your prospective clients, this includes display ads in local newspapers, online, and in the Yellow Pages, and distributing advertising circulars and business cards at woodstove and fireplace suppliers, and lumberyards in the local area.

“Firewood can be sold in bulk, or in bags, bundles, boxes, and pallet loads,” says Renton. “The more units into which you divide a cord, the greater the profit will be.

For a better understanding of starting a firewood business, an introduction to Biomass Fuel and information about Biomass Heating System for Private Individuals are available from the AWES factsheet database on the AWES website. Links for these and factsheets on processing firewood and the firewood business are available.

Running a firewood business Agri-News Running a firewood business involves selling or buying firewood. To exchange firewood for money, first you need a standard unit to

quantify it. When selling or buying firewood in bulk, common terms used are a cord, one third of cord, or cubic meter. Conversely, bags and boxes sold in super-

markets, gas stations, or others stores have their volume expressed in cubic meters.

“Using a local firewood supply not only helps support the local economy, it protects native forests,” says Jeff Renton, project manager with the Agroforestry & Woodlot Extension Society (AWES). “There are serious risks to transport, such as the spread of invasive species by moving firewood. When you move firewood or other wood products, pests (insects and diseases) and fungus are also moved with it. These organisms naturally move short distances, but when carried in a car or truck they can spread across large distances in a short period.

Foreign pests have no native predators or other natural features to stop them, so they can easily get out of control, as they tend to reproduce really fast.”

Alberta has many indepen-

dent firewood producers. To develop your own business by doing all the selling yourself, you will need to advertise. Good marketing is the key to finding customers and to developing a loyalty from

(Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier Canada stands for freedom, opportunity, tolerance, acceptance, honesty and humanity.

As established Canadians, we need to refresh ourselves on the privilege of being Canadian. On May 15, Vegreville’s Lion Club’s members, Frances Sawiak, Treasurer, John Sawiak, President, Hans Mayer, Director and Leola Nawrot hosted Lions’ Project Pride for A.L. Horton School and St. Martin’s School’s Grade one classrooms where they presented each student with a cloth, wellstructured Canadian flag and a Citizenship Certificate.

All the children wore a

smile when they received Canada’s flag but the glow was especially evident on the faces of the children who immigrated to Canada.

Following this, Nawrot stated, “You will see Canada’s flag all over the country of Canada, all the way over the border of the United States. The flag is especially proud to be worn by our soldiers. It can be found throughout the world on the uniforms of our Olympics’ athletes, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. Canada’s strength comes from its people.”

Then the students waved their flags while they sung O’Canada.

FCC Drive Away Hunger launches 11th year Submitted Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and its partners throughout the country will strive to collect three million pounds of food for Canada’s food banks this year to mark the 11th anniversary of FCC Drive Away Hunger.

“To date, we’ve collected more than 17 million pounds of food through FCC Drive Away Hunger,” said Greg Stewart, FCC President and CEO. “Hunger is an issue that affects many families in rural Canada. FCC Drive Away Hunger is one of the ways we give back to the rural communities where our customers and employees live and work,” noting that hunger touches nearly 850,000 Canadians each month, many of whom are children.

FCC Drive Away Hunger is the largest employee-led food drive in Canada. It involves driving a tractor and trailer through various communities to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country. One hundred per cent of donations go to

Canadian food banks, and anyone can visit www. fccdriveawayhunger.ca to make a cash donation.

This year, FCC Drive Away Hunger tours will take place the week of October 13 in Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan. FCC is also collecting food and cash donations in field offices across Canada until October 17.

“This program reflects the continued generosity and sense of community found throughout Canadian farm families,” said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “I commend FCC and its customers for their ongoing efforts in this initiative year after year.”

The FCC Drive Away Hunger launch coincides with Hunger Awareness Week from May 5 to 9, 2014, which is aimed to raise awareness about the issue of hunger in Canada. FCC launched its annual campaign by donating $100,000 to Food Banks Canada.

New clubroot data reinforces need for vigilant field scouting Alberta Canola Producers Commission New data indicates some forms of clubroot resistance are no longer functioning well against a possible new clubroot pathotype in the Edmonton region.

Dr. Stephen Strelkov at the University of Alberta has investigated samples collected from several fields and verified higher levels of infection than expected in some clubroot resistant varieties. Further studies are underway to verify the true virulence of these clubroot strains.

“Current research indicates that the concern is limited to very few fields and patches within those fields,” says Curtis Rempel, Vice President of Crop Production and Innovation with the Canola Council of Canada (CCC).

“Clubroot resistance is expected to be functional in the vast majority of acres this year, but attention needs to be paid to prevent this situation from expanding.”

While it is too early to make specific variety rec-

ommendations, the CCC advises that canola growers and agronomists scout their clubroot resistant varieties this summer with extra effort and vigilance.

“This is very important in light of the potential for a new pathotype capable of overcoming the excellent resistance currently available in Western Canada,” says Rempel.

In order to protect this valuable genetic trait, the CCC will be working collaboratively throughout the canola value chain to learn more about this potential new pathotype and help prevent its buildup and movement. Factors that contribute to this risk are: -Canola rotations with less than a two year break -Fields that are known already to have high clubroot inoculum -Fields that are not scouted for clubroot regularly -Planting the same resistant canola variety in that rotation -Any tillage that is more than zero till -Operations that do not limit soil movement between fields. Keep your soil at home.

Clubroot is a serious soilborne disease caused by the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. It lowers the bottom line for canola growers each year. The disease has been advancing through Alberta at a fairly steady 20 to 25 km per year, and has been detected at low levels in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Visit http://www.clubroot.ca/ to learn more about clubroot best management practices and stewardship of resistant varieties.

The Canola Council of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, value added processors, life science companies and exporters.
