Self-reliance is everything Joe Machney Editorial As you go through your life whether you are a teenager or an adult, people will have crossed your path and have left shortly after while others have stayed for some time and then perhaps parted ways or continue to keep you in their circle of friends. Each of them has brought a part of themselves to you to help you to learn something about yourself and to help you to become more whole and complete as an individual.

If one looks at the people and the outside world that they interact with as reflections of their inner world then the idea of being self-reliant can come more into the centre of focus for them. For when one becomes self-reliant the turbulence of the outer world be it personal or external events that are impactful do not have the sway that they could should one feel the need to get approval of some kind from an outside source.

The world is a mirror and what the world is going through externally is asking people to see that the inner world is where they need to begin looking and developing.

The eternal world and its many experiences of the senses are finite and will not last. They are cycles, like the seasons, they change. Businesses come and go, as to empires,

Ginette Adams Occupation: Licensed Practical Nurse Likes: my family, the outdoors Dislikes: slow drivers, coconut

religions, sports championships, politicians, actors and their stories, and everything else. All of this comes and goes in the fullness of time. Through it all, there is a part of you that remains. A relationship that starts out with puppy love and a euphoric feeling soon brings up challenges as the people involved are asked to face their demons to grow and become better and purer. We truly are gifts for each other.

If you see everything outside yourself as not lasting, then what does last? This is where self-reliance comes in and the importance of the idea that we are spirits having a human experience. This concept will bring you closer to your own truth and what is right and wrong through your own experiences in life. If you rely on outside sources to define who you are then how do you know who you really are? It is impossible because you are identifying with structures that do not last.

Understanding that the outside world changes and transforms as a reflection of the collective consciousness of society then it begs the question why should I invest in something that is not stable or a solid foundation? Selfreliance is investing in yourself and understanding who you are by seeing the mirrors that people show you as aspects of yourself. These reflections show you where you need to grow as a spirit having a human experience, they teach you how to become the person that you are meant to become. Relying on the outside world only for a sense of purpose in your life will not last. They are important and give you meaning, but they are teachers like everything else in your life, helping you to understand the importance of being self-reliant.

Meditate and find that which is your own truth and let that guide you in all things in your life. It will make your external endeavors more fruitful than you could ever imagine as they come and go throughout your life and you will be a blessing to all whom you meet and brighten everything that you lay your hands on. Help to show the world a brighter path by being the light yourself.

TENDERS SWEETING WINS - CONTINUED from FRONT PAGE Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Jones and 2015 World champion Alina Paetz of Switzerland to qualify for the playoffs.

In the quarterfinal action, Sweeting was up against Tracey Fleury of Sudbury, Ontario. Although the ice was very swingy and tricky and caused both teams fits throughout Sweeting prevailed 7 to 5. Next up was the undefeated Allison Flaxey rink from Caledon Ontario. Flaxey was coming off a huge victory over Rachel Homan in the year’s first grand slam event in Okotoks two weeks earlier. Things did not go well for the Flaxey rink however as Val got out to a quick 3-0 lead after 2 ends then stole 4 in the third and rolled to a lopsided 9 to 2 victory after six ends.

It was on to the final for the Sweeting four against the Michelle Englot rink from Winnipeg, Manitoba who had upset world number one Rachel Homan in the quarter-finals. A couple of misses in the first end put Sweeting down by 2 however the team fought back with steals in the 3rd, 4th, and

5th ends then scored a big 3 in the 7th to gain them their second career Grand Slam title. In men’s action Niklas Edin of Sweden defeated Kyle Smith of Scotland 7 to 3 in the final to give him his second straight Grand Slam title.

New Private Member’s Bill to tackle issue of workplace bullying

Murray Langdon A safe workplace is more than just one where physical injuries are prevented.

It is vital that workers in Alberta have protection against the psychological and emotional damage of workplace harassment and bullying. Currently,

Alberta’s legislation does not recognize the danger of bullying or psychological harassment in the workplace.

Private Member’s Bill 208 was introduced today by MLA Craig Coolahan, Calgary-Klein. The Occupational Health and Safety (Protecting Alberta

Workers from Harassment) Amendment Act will help protect workers from harassment in their workplaces.

While the majority of Alberta businesses have similar anti-bullying policies in place, not all do. This leaves thousands of workers vulnerable, with minimal recourse if they are a victim of workplace bullying and harassment.

“This legislation will be preventative, not punitive”, says MLA Craig Coolahan. “It is meant to ensure all employers and employees are aware of the definition of workplace harassment and what is and isn’t thorough, robust policy and training.”

Consultations with businesses of all sizes, victims of workplace bullying, labour unions, HR organizations and the Psychologists Association of Alberta show there is strong support for ensur-

ing Albert has safe work environments that are free from harassment.

This Act will make harassment policies mandatory for Alberta businesses and provide victims of workplace bullying the ability to lodge a complaint with Occupational Health and Safety.

Alberta workers deserve to be protected at the workplace, whether it’s from physical injury or psychological harm.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER

COMPILED BY DAN BEAUDETTE

90 Years Ago – November 17, 1926 Exhibition Association: The question of making provision to complete the payment of prize money was left with the finance committee, president and secretary with power to act. It was explained that the Dominion government grant which should have been received on the opening day of the fair, was not yet to hand. The reason being that the Liberal government went out of office before provision had been made for the payment of these and other grants and consequently they could not be paid until parliament re-assembles.

The community of Old Vegreville was stirred by the news that the Reid farm had been sold and that Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Reid and family were to move away. So to express their good will and best wishes about thirty-five foregathered in a surprise party on Tuesday evening, Nov. 9th, and presented them with a nicely worded testimonial bespeaking all the good traits of a good neighbor and friend. Mr. H. Trenhaile made the speech and handed over the memento in the form of a lovely Mantel Clock; do the every tick might be a gentle reminder of kindly hearts.

75 Years Ago – November 19, 1941 Facing a list of charges as long as your arm, two boys will come before Magistrate Jackson at Mundare on Friday for their preliminary hearing. It appears that they broke into an elevator, stole some grain tickets, forged names and amounts, used the grain tickets to buy certain merchandise at Klien’s in Vegreville, and in general, had a good time while the money lasted. If convicted, they will probably have a much longer time in which to repent.

Any men in the district or town who are contemplating joining the army need not wait for any Recruiting Officer to visit the town or district points, but by dropping into the Observer Office will be furnished with their medical forms which their doctor will fill out for them. When men are found fit and placed in “A” category, a warrant will be obtained for their transportation to Calgary where their applications will be completed. The response to the calls for recruits in this district has not been entirely satisfactory and part of this may be due to the difficulty theretofore experienced for intending recruits to meet the officers at stipulated points.

50 Years Ago – November 17, 1966 Members of the Vegreville Jewish community were shocked at the weekend when they entered the Synagogue here and found the interior of the building a shambles, fixtures out of place and broken, peanuts, empty pop cans and burned cards strewn about their place of worship. Obscene words had been written on the walls in several places, peanuts had been spilled and ground into the floor, light bulbs removed and fixtures damaged. Most shocking feature of the vandalism was the desecration of the holy items which were placed at the front of the building. Fortunately two Torahs which were in the cabinet were not damaged badly. There are believed to be about eight youths involved in the affair and it is also thought that tis same group of boys perhaps are involved in the several break ins of the Beaver Bennett Scout Hut and possibly the Swimming Pool.

Mr. and Mrs. Cliff King are in the University Hospital, Edmonton suffering severe injuries following a car accident which occurred on Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. King were returning home in the evening when it is reported that an approaching car skidded across the road into the path of the King car.

25 Years Ago – November 12, 1991 If Lakeland Ambulance has its way, its emergency medical teams will be better able to treat heart attack victims early in 1992.

Lakeland Ambulance has been lobbying for the past month for donations to a LifePac 300 machine, a semi automated heart defibrillator.

The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in Vegreville was mared by red paint on October 31, 1991. The paint was removed within a few days of the incident.

Marvellous Mugsy Mulligan entertained the children at Queen Elizabeth school on Thursday, November 7. The Edmonton based performer showed the children juggling tricks, magic acts and he also rode a unicycle.

The curling rink ice is being prepared with the help of Bob Bennett, Al Schent and Walter Scribnay. They set up the rings and lines for the curling season on Monday, October 28. A few ladies from the club also helped get the rinks ready by washing the rings before they were laid in.

Helen Cheremshyski donated a Ukrainian Wedding bread to Mayor Kay McKenzie on Monday, November 4. The donation is to replace the bread she originally donated seven years ago.

Turkey Purge Gwynne Dyer “In Turkey, we are progressively putting behind bars all people who take the liberty of voicing even the slightest criticism of the government,” wrote author Orhan Pamuk, Turkey’s first Nobel Prize winner. “Freedom of thought no longer exists. We are distancing ourselves at high speed from a state of law and heading towards a regime of terror.”

Pamuk wrote those words in Istanbul, but he sent them to Italy’s leading liberal daily, “Repubblica”, because no Turkish paper would dare to publish them. Indeed, almost the entire senior editorial staff of Turkey’s oldest mainstream daily, “Cumhuriyet”, was arrested last weekend, allegedly for supporting both Kurdish rebels and the Islamic secret society controlled by exiled Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen.

That is ridiculous, but Cumhuriyet’s editorial staff is in jail, alongside 37,000 other people who have been arrested, often on equally implausible charges, since the attempted coup last July. (President Recep Tayyib Erdogan’s government has amnestied 38,000 ordinary criminals to make room in the jails for the political prisoners.)

Erdogan’s govenment holds the “Gulenists” responsible for the attempted military coup last July, and they probably were.

But he is exploiting the “state of emergency” to suppress all possible centres of opposition to his rule. Whatever their real views, they are all are accused of being either pro-Gulenist or pro-terrorist.

The Gulenist menace has been inflated to preposterous proportions.

Erdogan’s deputy prime

minister Nurettin Canikli, said in a recent interview that members of the group have “practically had their brains removed.

They’ve been hypnotised. They’re like robots. Each one of them is a potential threat. They could commit all sorts of attacks, including suicide bombs.”

Erdogan talks the same way. He also neglects to mention that he and Fethullah Gulen were once close allies dedicated to the task of “Islamising” the Turkish public services. Their shared objective was to ensure that most of the jobs in the government’s grant – military officers, teachers, police, judges, the senior civil service – were held by pious Muslims.

This was a huge task, since for almost a century these jobs had largely been the preserve of secular Turks who thought that religion had no business in politics. The change was accomplished by giving Gulenist candidates the answers to entrance exams, by manipulating military and judicial appointments, or just by the naked exercise of political power.

But eventually Gulen and Erdogan had a catastrophic falling out – probably over which of them actually controlled these tens of thousands of deeply religious officials – and Erdogan belatedly realised that he had created a hostile force in the heart of his own government apparatus He showed as little foresight in his dealings with the Turkish Kurds. Back in 2013 Erdogan actually agreed to a ceasefire with the PKK, the main and most violent Kurdish separatist group. But when he lost an election last year and needed to win back the Turkish ultra-nationalist vote, he did it by breaking the ceasefire and re-starting the war against the Kurds.

So he has alienated a lot of people and he urgently needs to thin out the number of his enemies. The failed July coup gave Erdogan an excuse for taking extreme action against them, and even against other domestic opponents who have always played by the democratic rules. He has seized the opportunity with both hands.

It is ugly and sad, for ten years ago Turkey seemed to be entering an era of stable democracy and growing prosperity.

It’s not clear when, or even if, it will get back on track.

Are There Drugs in the Vegreville Area?

Sgt Jerry Nutbrown

RCMP Ponderings This is a topic members of the public will ask our members about everynow-and-then. The short answer is what most assume, yes, there are drugs here. But first let’s make sure we are on the same page regarding drugs. Back in July in an earlier Ponderings, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act was the topic and the classifications of drugs was explained. For this article I will refer to drugs as including street drugs and prescription drugs that are abused.

In our policing area we typically see methamphetamine (meth), marijuana, cocaine and pills. Meth is the drug that has been doing the most damage to people and creating criminal investigations for us. Meth is very hard on a person that consumes it and it is extremely addictive with the effects being both physical and psychological. Meth provides an intense and extended high and is relatively cheap to buy. Marijuana is a staple drug that is always around and basically available in every community.

The status of marijuana may change in the next year but as of now it is a controlled substance and illegal without a prescription. Cocaine is also a commonly available drug but its cost may be prohibitive to some users. As most cocaine is from South America, the cost is associated to the smuggling of it from the source countries.

Prescription pills make their way to the street and are trafficked quite often. Pills, or capsules, are often seen by users as ‘safe’ because they are pharmaceutical quality and the strength is often known as most pills/ capsules are stamped or marked. The quality and strength may be more dependable but abusing anything comes with risks.

We do see many other types of drugs in the area but less often than the ones mentioned above. All these take their toll on people, families, communities and society in general.

Locally the effects are evident in that many people committing crimes, do so in conjunction with drug use. For some, the drug use is what drives them to commit crimes which in turn facilitates their addictions. Property crimes is the most common crime associated with drug use as well as trafficking in drugs and prostitution.

We see firsthand how drugs become more important to users than their own children. Meth and heroin are unfortunate examples of drugs that will take over a person’s reason for living pushing everything else aside.

There may be nothing more difficult for a person to overcome than a drug addiction as everything surrounding the drug use plays against the person recovering.

I have seen some good-news stories with addicts but the negative outcome of drug use certainly does outweigh the good-news stories. We will continue to put efforts towards enforcement of drug laws and hopefully along the way help those trapped in the cycle.

Agarena grand opening well received Peter LaRue and his sons Gauge and Colt enjoyed the grand opening of the Agarena on November 1.

Joe Machney Reporter Alongside curling and hockey, the good people at the Agricultural Society spent the evening of All Saints Day celebrating the grand opening of their Agrarena, which was formerly known as the Old Cow Barn.

“The vision came up last winter when one of the directors proposed the idea of a facility that could be used year round instead of the storage shed for RVs which it was before. Now it is an indoor riding arena,” Rachael Farr, President of the Ag Society, said.

“The horse committees got together and came up with a plan and did a lot of research to find out what facilities were in the area and what people were looking for. We had to get some grants and did a lot of fundraising for

this through the raffles we had last year. After the fair was over we started building this and putting the walls up and dirt in as well as picking rocks and painting fences.”

As far as Rachel’s role in the new building she intends to help with the booking and answer any questions that people might have. The local 4H group will use the grounds here as well and be able to use it all year round.

Stubbs calls on the NDP government to protect homeschoolers Stephanie Keron, Office of Shannon Stubbs, M.P. On November 2, Member of Parliament for Lakeland, Shannon Stubbs, released the following statement on the closure of Trinity Chr ist ia n a nd Wisdom Homeschooling: “I do not know whether or not there was wrong doing in the case of Trinity Christian School Board, but I am very disappointed with the process that led to its decommissioning.

Homeschooling students across Alberta are without educational support because students, parents and the school board were given no warning about the closure. This has caused

a lot of uncertainty for many families in Lakeland,” said MP Stubbs.

“Homeschooling is an important element of educational choice in Alberta and throughout Canada. I have met many homeschooling families and it is clear that there are multiple reasons that parents choose to home school their children: parents may feel like their children are being held back by the general pace of education in large

Harvest in November? You bet!

Joe Machney Reporter The autumn months for this year were anything but normal, particularly October and November which seemed to be switched around, weather-wise that is. With the dump of snow that came in the middle of October, farmers were afraid that they wouldn’t get their harvest done. But even though it was not what they preferred and it made for some hard combining, mother nature gave them a reprieve in November which saw

farmers working their combines as quickly as they could to get the last of their fields cleared up before winter, which should be on its way.

The past weekend farmers were working late into the night on Remembrance Day to get as much done as possible before the Saturday rain. With the thermometer beginning to dip into more seasonable temperatures this may be the last chance farmers have to finish. But then again, harvest in November was not expected either.

“The process was handled poorly on various levels causing unnecessary stress on 1500 families and over 3500 students.

The timing of this action is par-

ticularly concerning, because students are just beginning their school year and the delay will have a negative impact on their educational objectives,” said MP Stubbs. “I hope Minister Eggen will prioritize the needs of students and families, and resolve this issue quickly while main-

taining parental freedom in education, “ said MP Stubbs.

“Parental rights in the education of their children are essential to a free

Alberta Council on Aging’s meeting Rosanne Fortier To be a voice for seniors’ concerns, Vegreville Seniors Sunshine Club Centre recently presented an (ACA) A lberta Council on Aging’s Information Session at their centre.

Fred Olsen, President for ACA, Dwayne Hlady, Region 9 Director, Ted Wilson, Vice-President for Region 9 ACA and Shirley Hlady, Secretary for Region 9 ACA were in attendance.

The session opened with Nick Chrapko, President of Sunshine Club saying that Dwayne Hlady will take the issues and concerns from this session to their general meeting in Edmonton.

Dwayne then spoke about the Age Friendly organization in Vegreville where he said they have been mandated by the town and they have by-law status and they started auditing the town’s buildings for ease of access to get into the buildings for people with mobility issues or in wheelchairs. “We are also looking at the lighting because you walk into a business, it is not always user friendly for people, the corners of sidewalks need to have easy access to go on, and we are looking at keeping the sidewalks clean. The Highway 16 going through town is a bad one for this. Most of the businesses take care of their own sidewalks,” Dwayne said as he continued to say that there needs to be changes for seniors due to the aging population and we need to be able to take care of our seniors.

Dwayne also mentioned how sad Separation by Nursing Home was and that he knew a couple who have been married for 70 years and can’t live together now because of this.

Fred Olsen said this situation is starting to get better.

Dwayne went on to say that Mr. Olsen and he got involved with (ADF) which is Alberta Disability Form and this is about transportation where they work with people with disabilities. Mr. Olsen said they got involved with this because seniors have some of the same transportation issues as people with

disabilities have. “We will provide a paper to the government with a meaningful plan to enhance the transportation system for people

with disabilities and if we get a paper for that, we can also take the paper to the seniors’ minister and the transportation minister and sort

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, Two years ago when we moved to the city, I found what I thought was a great 2-bedroom apartment for only $1450/month.

It has taken me a while to meet all the neighbors, but I just became friends with a girl from downstairs. At dinner the other night she mentioned that she only pays $600 for her 2-bedroom apt. I almost spilled my wine. How is this possible?

Seeing my shock, she told me that hers is a rent-controlled apartment, assuming that explained the whole thing.

I'm from the suburbs and have never heard of "rent control". What is it? And more importantly, how do I get it?

Carry: If you're from the sub-

urbs, you probably have a lot to learn about city life. And if you thought the subways were confusing, just wait until you try to keep track of the rent rates.

Cash: It's amazing how two apartments that are basically identical can have vastly different rents. Although $1450 for the area you're living in may be quite good, $600 would be a whole lot better!

Carry: Rent control is a form of legislation that you may find in

major metropolitan areas like New York or Chicago for instance. It was designed in the early-to-mid 1900's to protect tenants when there were housing shortages and landlords would increase rents almost monthly.

Cash: Although today, the original rent-control city of New York still has a lot of disagreement over the effectiveness of rent control.

Carry: Some states, such as Massachusetts, have been leaning toward doing away with rent control altogether. Others, like New York, renew the laws to avoid any major objections.

Cash: As you can personally attest, rent control can even be upsetting to tenants within the

same building.

Carry: Now as informative as all this may be, none of it really helps your situation. So here is what you need to know. Be glad you found an apartment at a reasonable cost. Before the dinner party, you were probably quite happy with your find.

Cash: Rent controlled apartments are rarely ever listed for rent and many are converted to non-rent control units after tenants move out.

Carry: If you want more information specific to your location, contact your city's housing department. But in the meantime, I'd avoid spilling that wine on your carpet. It could affect your future rent!

Fast Facts Under Fire

Reader Humor Welcome Home

Many people today enjoy the benefits of rent control, but few know how it started. It dates back to the early 1900's in New York City. With the influx of immigrants from Europe, landlords continuously increased rents, leading to "rent strikes" among many of the tenants. Laws throughout the 20's and 30's failed to control the situation. In 1943, legislation was passed to regulate rent prices in the city. Today, each state or city maintains it's own regulations for rent control.

As a real estate agent in the city, I get a diverse group of people looking to find a suitable apartment. One gentleman calls me every few years looking for a new place to live.

Last week, after only a year, he called me yet again. "It's time to move," he said.

Now since I've gotten to know him over the years, I felt comfortable asking, "Jim, why do you want to move again? It must be difficult adjusting to a new place, since you're blind."

"It is," he laughed in return.

"But I just love the change of scenery!"

Complex Financial experts suggest that your rent should be no more than one-third of your monthly income.

However to be sure, calculate what you can afford BEFORE your rent.

Add up all of your monthly expenses, such as car or credit card payments. Include estimates for food and entertainment. Then add in your estimated cost of rent and utilities. If the total is more than your monthly income, then you are living beyond your means and you may need to look for a cheaper place to live.

Anne Strynadka turns 90! many things that are special about my Mom. She is a good Mom who always took good care of her children. Mom had two sons-Richard and me and one daughter-Daphne who she always worried about; she always put her family first.

Then Mom is really intelligent and is good with arts and crafts,” Anne’s son, Can said.

Anne’s daughter, Daphne commented that her Mom is wonderful because she had so many hobbies that she was passionate about. “Mom was a really good cook who fed her children really well. She’s kind, witty, and funny,” Daphne said.

Eric Strynadka, Anne’s grandson said his grandma never has a dull moment. “Grandma always has something interesting to say and she is always involved with doing crafts.”

Morgan Strynadka said her grandma is special because she really has a flair for arts and crafts and is very good at doing pysanka writing; she has done so many of those and every year, she knits baby doll clothing when they do their auction at Christmas. She use to belong to a traditional Ukrainian choir where she sang and played the accordion.

Antoinette, who is a friend of Anne, said Anne respects and is friendly with each person she meets. Anne is interested in and attends every event that she can. She is creative and she expresses this trait through all the arts and crafts she does; whether it’s crocheting outfits for dolls or crocheting afghans, creating her beautiful pysanka writing, growing a garden, cooking or teaching others her artistic techniques.

from Mannville then went forth to speak about the petition on Daylight Savings Time that Ruby Kassian initiated a few years ago to the legislature because they felt that switching the clocks can be bad for people’s health. Verner said a MLA is going to write a bill for this and people throughout Alberta should write to their MLA’s, health minister and Premier on this topic.

Following this, a pleasant lunch was provided free-of-charge by Dwayne Hlady and Vegreville Sunshine Club Centre.

Then Olsen spoke about ACA which is an organization that is mandated to work on improving the quality of life for seniors in Alberta. “It is a unique organization that is the only one of its type in Canada and province-wide that is an advocate for seniors’ benefits.

We no longer have a physical office, so when you call the numbers, they will be the same but we changed our post office. Executive Director, Donna Durand has made an office in her home and that is where she works out of and they meet. Laureen G u ldbr a nd s en, C om mu n it y

Alberta RCMP reminds the public about the danger of deteriorated dynamite There is a large, but unquantified, amount of degraded/deteriorated dynamite in Alberta as a result of historic rules that permitted easy access to dynamite for farmers and ranchers – a lot of which is currently decaying in barns and fields.

--See the rest on our Facebook page They say giving is better than receiving and for Jessica Zavitz that is how she felt as she donated $350 of the profits she made to the Vegreville Legion for our veterans the day before Remembrance Day. Her kind act of generosity was happily received by Comrade Terry Kuzyk, President of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39.

Major cities saw mostly peaceful protests that lasted late into the night and in California even shut down a major highway. Pundits were quick to disagree on what they saw as the facts. One side stating that the country was in turmoil with the other pointing out that half of the citizens were at home and happy with the results.

Two vehicle collision

Joe Machney Reporter On November 9 at 930am the Vegreville Fire Department and Vegreville RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Hwy 36 and 631 where a northbound vehicle collided with a vehicle parked on the side of the road.

The driver was parked on the shoulder and was hit by the

northbound vehicle. The female driver who hit the parked vehicle was trapped and needed to be extricated out with the Jaws of Life. She was transported to Two Hills hospital to assess her injuries. The male driver who was hit sustained minor injuries and was able to walk away from the accident. The incident is still under investigation by the RCMP.

St. Paul RCMP investigate armed robbery in Saddle Lake Corporal Ronald Bumbry St. Paul R.C.M.P. are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying an armed robbery suspect. At approximately 8 p.m. on Nov. 8, 2016, St. Paul R.C.M.P. responded to an armed robbery at the North Side store in Saddle Lake First Nation.

A male walked into the business and purchased some items then left.

Royal Canadian Legion Remembrance Day Ceremony Poppy maker donates profits to Legion Joe Machney Reporter They say giving is better than receiving and for Jessica Zavitz that is how she felt as she donated $350 of the money she made to the Vegreville Legion for our veterans the day before Remembrance Day. Her kind act of generosity was happily received by Comrade Terry Kuzyk, President of RCL Branch No. 39.

“The idea started with my friend ordering three poppies for herself, her sister and her mom and then I made some for us. After that every-

one came in and wanted some and then I posted it on the Vegreville buy and sell because I made some extras. Then I kept getting some more orders and then I ended up crocheting 90 in total,” Jessica Zavitz said.

As far as if this is something that Jessica would like to continue in the future she responded with an affirmative. “I’m hoping to get more because I only had a week and I didn’t get enough done. I mean, there were people who were wanting more and this is giving me the motivation to do it again next year.

Rosanne Fortier Perogies and Jam embraces and promotes local talent. This organization does this in a way for anyone to enjoy with their low admission price which includes complementary food, snacks and drinks.

On October 15 at Vegreville Social Centre, their special guest was Cassidy Zahar, a winning female vocalist from Bellis, Alberta who released two cds and has won numerous awards. Cassidy has a penchant for old style country and folk music.

Don Harfield, Master of Ceremony kicked off the event for the Open Mic performances with a song performed by himself which was originally performed

by Bob Dylan in honor of Dylan who was the recipient of a Nobel Literary Prize this year. During Don’s performance, his guitar playing was smooth and his voice kept the tone of the folk ballad.

Nolia Jarvis, a 13 year-old young woman from Mundare was up next

where she wowed the audience with her two pop pieces of Hey Ho! And a softer song called, Castles in the Sand.

Our very own blooming success story, Audrey Stefan presented her two pop songs that she wrote that have a jazz influence to them-Liar, Liar and Light in the Dark. Audrey has the ability to carry low and high notes well and she used plenty of feeling in each of her performances. Audrey has been taking singing lessons and performing for almost 10 years. She released a single on cd and is heading back to California next month to record three or four more songs onto cd.

Albert Steward then breezed in with his lively fiddle tune performances which some people got up and danced to.

The audience issued an appreciative applause after each of these performances.

Christmas bureau 2016!

Caroline Knowles Thanksgiving and Hallowe’en are past. Next feast is Christmas with all its many rites and rituals. The cold and dark days of winter are lightened by the Christmas lights. This is my favourite part of the festival. In the midst of the snowy background even though we have more night than day, the colourful lights are so cheerful.

I am always grateful to the many people who decorate their houses. Instead of being a dreary time of year to be suffered through, it makes the dark and cold more like a necessary background for the celebration and for the lights.

Apart from the decorations, there are the plans for family celebrations. And there is the turkey and all the trimmings that will be prepared for the day itself.

Or maybe you do the older tradition and roast a goose. Or perhaps a newer one, a tofurkey! Whatever your family’s and friends’ customs, getting together and enjoying a special meal is something that all cultures have as a practice at some point in the year. Eating together is a wonderfully sociable thing to do especially when we do it in a leisurely way. No need to get up and run as soon as we are finished.

For many families Christmas involves gift giving, particularly for the children who have the magic of Santa Claus to

look forward to. But of course, we have to remember that not all our neighbours have the luxury of gifts and a big dinner to look forward to and that is where the Christmas Bureau comes in.

Last year the Vegreville Christmas Bureau gave out 136 hampers, which represents 360 people who had their Christmas dinner and some other festive food and gifts for children thanks to the donations from the community. That number was an increase from the previous year and it appears likely that there will be yet another increase this season as well. So the Bureau is hoping for your support to enhance this coming Christmas season.

The Christmas Bureau is already in active mode getting set up to receive hamper applications and donations. Fortunately, the depot for operations will be at the same location as last year in the storefront on Main Street.

The Bureau depot will be ready to accept donations and hamper applications as of Sunday, November 6.

The deadline for hamper applications is December 9th. And distribution will be December 18th. The depot will then be open Mon 5-7pm; Wed. 5-7 pm; Fri 10 am - 1 pm and Sun 2-4pm. The Admin number is: 780-632-8940.

Donations needed are: new toys (no stuffed toys, please), non-perishable food, gently used winter clothing – “Coats for Families” - and of course, money, cash or cheques (receipts for donations of $20 or more).

Deadline for donations in kind is December 11, money donations are gratefully received at any time.

There will be the usual boxes around town at various businesses to receive donations of new toys, and gently used winter wear.

Keep an eye on the Bureau’s Facebook page as well!

The Vegreville Christmas Bureau Board is also looking for volunteers to work at the depot, to help with sorting, delivery or to be members of the board. If you could donate some time please call the administration number or come to the next meeting which will be 7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 15th at the Ag Society Office.

Following this, Cassidy Zahar went to the platform and performed a cover of John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads. Cassidy’s voice met the folk song well as she captured the essence of the warmth and serenity of a summer day in the country.

Next on her list was the song that Cassidy recorded on her new album that came out, Winter Finds Me which she said was a song about when the winter comes and a person can’t see their family too much.

Then Cassidy sung, Red Rocking Chair which she said is an old tune that gets its roots from the bluegrass genre

and she switched it to a folk tune.

Cassidy performed, I Only Smoke When I Drink by the Small Town Pistols which she said she added because she likes the bluesy feel to the song and to include some humor to the night as she wouldn’t do this because it would harm her vocal chords.

A pop tune, originally sung by Bob Dylan, Make You Feel My Love was performed by Cassidy then with the song that followed from the 40’s, My Girl in the Pines.

After this, Cassidy performed the song that she wrote, Tide Carry Me Home which is the title track to her new album. In this song, Cassidy compared a love relationship to an ocean.

Cassidy’s final performance was the tune, House of the Rising Sun. Cassidy received cheers and whistles during each of her performances and a heartfelt applause after each of her performances.

who came before us won through their sacrifices. May we take these feelings forward throughout the year and remember, lest we forget.”

Rangers top Border Chiefs Dara Dimmock Student Reporter On November 11 the Rangers took on the Onion Lake Border Chiefs in a spirited game that took them into double overtime. The second overtime ended within the first twenty seconds with a shot by the Rangers to win the game with a final score of 4 to 3.

The game was quiet for the opening of the first period but quickly picked up tension with Chiefs first goal by Glenfield at the fifteen-minute mark.

There were many good saves to follow

by Rangers’ goalie Cikaliuk and a strong defense on the Rangers side.

The first goal for the Rangers, assisted

by Wakaruk and Manz, was scored by Steinbach halfway through the period.

The Rangers’ aggression increased, and was balanced with sturdy defense.

The Chiefs missed an opportunity on goal as both sides’ form began to drop as the game heated up. Cikaliuk made a fantastic save on a breakaway, which was followed by two more saves under a minute apart. The Rangers didn’t profit from their own breakaway but had become noticeably stronger by the end of the period.

Period two was scoreless but showed the Rangers were more aggressive with some good attempts on Onion Lake’s goal by Warrington and Greene. Onion Lake’s Opikokew had a breakaway but only resulted in a superb save by Cikaliuk. The end of the period focused mainly at the Rangers end of the ice as the Chiefs pounded the goal. The period ended with good shots, good saves, more movement and increased communication but fumbling of the puck was a flaw on both sides.

The final period showed a noticeable enlargement in the crowd. Onion Lake Border Chiefs were urged by their coach to heighten their hustle. As a result, the beginning of the period showed hardened offense for the Chiefs who rushed the Rangers goal, taking a shot and landing it on the crossbar.

Standing their ground and retaking the puck the Rangers scored their second goal on a breakaway by Falconer

at the fifteen-minute mark. Then scored their third goal at eleven minutes by Steinbach, assisted by Lupaschuck and Falconer. The Chiefs second goal at the six-minute mark was closely followed by action at the Rangers end of the ice with some close calls on goal. Through tripping, tangling, pucks as high as the rafters and numerous saves by the Rangers, the Chiefs scored their third goal with forty-six seconds left in the period tying it up at 3 each.

In overtime, Onion Lake hit the crossbar again with their first attempt at the Rangers goal and their second attempt ending in the upper netting of the rink. With forty-two seconds left in the first overtime, the Chiefs had another shot on goal which resulted in a brief fight. With twelve seconds left at the Rangers end of the ice, a Rangers player made an interesting play by pinning the puck down for the remainder of the time and taking them into another five minutes of OT. Within thirteen seconds of the next OT, Rangers player Manz, assisted by Warrington, took possession of the puck and scored the winning goal.

While his players were celebrating their win in the locker room, Rangers coach James Couch commented on the long game, “We just lost that way in Vermillion on Wednesday with the same thing in double overtime. This game was good, we didn’t fold we could’ve emotionally gone back to that and through “here we go again” and instead we decided to grab it and run with it. There were some good signs today.”
