The Blame Game - Tensions Rise Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser - Opinion The more that the complex political situation in the Middle East changes, the more it seems to stay the same.

On Saturday, attacks on Aramco oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia impacted world oil supplies and raised concerns. Despite originally stating that production would be back to full capacity in 48 hours, it now appears the recovery could take weeks.

The full history is long, complex and likely would take a historian to sort out. In recent times, however, the Houthis have been in a four-year conflict with Saudi-led forces. This group has claimed responsibility and indicated they had cooperation from groups inside the Saudi Kingdom. Attacks in the past were carried out with consumer-grade drones from close range but Saturday’s attack was different.

A Houthi spokesman indicated that 10 drones were used but other details are scarce.

Despite the claim from the Houthis, the US is pointing the finger squarely at Iran. The ongoing tension between

Name: Don Harfield Occupation: Retired Resource Engineer Likes: local music, my grandchildren Dislikes: brutal winters, heavy metal music.

the two countries doesn’t require there be proof to place blame. In fact, it doesn’t seem that anything originating from the White House these days carries that requirement.

A Middle East news organization released a report on Sunday that quoted a confidential source within Iraqi intelligence stating that the drones were launched from inside

Iraq. Iraq has officially denied that this was the case. Iraq and Israel are in another long conflict.

Iran in response to the US allegations claims that the US is blaming them to justify further actions against them.

They went on to state that further negotiations with the US were unlikely.

Kuwait got into the discussion, stating that an unmanned drone the size of a small car flew over the palace before turning on its lights and flying away. Media speculated that the drone flight originated from Iraq and continued on towards Saudi Arabia.

China, Qatar, India, and Russia also chimed in, condemning the attack and urging calm. Russia additionally offered its air defence systems for sale if Saudi Arabia was interested.

Preliminary investigations by the Saudi-led military coalition shows that the weapons are of Iranian origin and they are working to determine the flight path or launch location.

Despite this, Houthi rebels threatened new attacks on Saudi Arabia and urged foreigners to avoid the region. “We assure the Saudi regime that our longhand can reach any place we want at any time we choose,” Houthi military spokesman Brigadier Yahya Saree said in a statement.

The attack brings questions about our reliance on oil and specifically foreign oil. Oil prices soared 19 percent in one day. Meanwhile, everyone is pointing fingers, but no one is looking in the mirror.

Cyber Security and Harvest Breakfast with Servus Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On Friday, September 13, Mundare Servus Credit Union hosted over 100 guests from the com-

Branch Manager Shelly Taylor said that the event, held in a sectioned-off portion of the street outside the bank,

and common dupes that have surfaced over the last couple of years.

“We’ve had a tough time in our area over the past while, and the best

munity and school for a free breakfast to celebrate the harvest season, followed by a presentation on ways to avoid becoming the next fraud victim.

The main purpose of this breakfast and others that preceded it this year was to show appreciation to customers with a hot meal and a chance to

was a huge success.

“We had guests from throughout the community, and the school children came by as well so we had a steady stream of guests all morning.”

One of Servus’ own cybersecurity providers gave the presentation, which focused on identity theft, email/phone fraud,

way we can really combat that is to make sure people are educated on how to avoid certain scams,” said Taylor. “We thought the breakfast would be a good opportunity to make sure our customer base has the information they need to keep their personal information safe.”

90 Years Ago – September 18, 1929

The total enrolment at the Vegreville High School is at present 150. Of this number 60 are non-residents. The building of new schools to the north of Vegreville does not seem to affect the number in attendance at Vegreville.

R.H. Myers and sons of Minburn, contractors, are erecting a two roomed school with full basement at New Bow Valley.

A haystack was burned last week on the old Combs’ farm near Ryley. It seems that a straw pile was burned in the spring and has been smouldering all summer when on Saturday the high wind fanned it into flames, quickly spreading and destroying the hay stack close by.

75 Years Ago – September 13, 1944

From the beginning of the war to the end of 1943 Britain produced over 115,000 guns of a caliber larger than 20mm and over 5,250,000 machine guns, sub-machine guns, and rifles. Hundreds of thousands of 40mm and 20mm cannon guns and machine guns for aircraft have been produced, and also guns of all calibers from 5 inches to 16 inches for the Navy.

Admiral of the Fleet Baron Keyes said he believed the European war would be over by early winter and that the Japanese campaign would end “much sooner than some people think.” The hero of Zeebrugge in the First Great War, and founder of the commandos in this conflict, Baron Keyes spoke to the Canadian Club here as part of a speaking tour that will take him to Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.

Britain’s cheese ration will be cut from three to two ounces weekly April 2 but the two-ounce tea ration will remain unchanged and the milk and canned goods ration will be boosted, Food Minister J.J. Liewellin announced. The food minister told a press conference the two ounce weekly butter ration was not in danger.

Average protein content of wheat from the three Prairie Provinces was 13.6 per cent, a reduction of .3 percent, compared with last year, said the grain research laboratory of the board of grain commissioners after testing 646 samples.

Railways have been prohibited from carrying Christmas trees.

There won’t be many gaily be-decked Christmas trees twinkling in Canadian homes this yuletide. That’s the word from the Labor, Transport and munitions departments and the Prices Board. They said in a joint statement that recent war developments have put “enormous pressure” on railways, which have been prohibited from carrying Christmas trees in flat or open-top cars or in box-cars suitable for transporting grain, and other essential commodities.

50 Years Ago - September 18, 1969

At press time Wednesday no further moves had been made by the teachers in the current salary dispute. The Board of the County of Minburn have made their final offer which amount to 6% increase over a 16 month period terminating on December 31, 1969. The offer was not accepted by the negotiating committee of the teachers but neither has it been presented to the teachers for their acceptance or rejection.

The Candystrippers of the Minburn-Eagle Auxiliary Hospital, Vegreville, were presented with a Junior Citizenship Award at the annual meeting of the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association.

Included in the group receiving the award were Linda Hughes, Olga Olenek, Connie Bucklands, Elaine Yaniw and Maria Gault.

The Board of the Minburn Eagle Auxiliary Hospital and Nursing Home District No. 22 announced the acceptance of the tender of Redden Construction Ltd. for the construction of a 30 bed nursing home at Two Hills and a 40 bed nursing home at Vegreville. Total cost of the project is $690,000.00.

Three candidates were nominated to fill two seats on town council on Wednesday with a resulting election pending for October 15th. Nominated were incumbents John Symyrozum and Bruce Bird along with Nick Yakimyshyn.

Total enrolment at Andrew schools during the first week of September stood at 501, an increase of over twenty students.

Seventeen year old Art Pagee signed with the Ponoka Stampeders for the 1969-70 season. Art has enrolled in school and will be playing in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. During try-outs Stampeder coach Max Bentley was very impressed with Art’s performance and stated that he felt Art should work very well with the club.

Bruce Bird was the recipient of a certificate of appreciation from the Canadian Red Cross Society in recognition of his 35th donation of blood to the blood donors clinic. Making the presentation was Walter Polutranko chairman of the Kinsmen Club Committee who assist with local blood donor clinics.

25 Years Ago – September 21, 1994

Craig King stayed right around par for two rounds and took home the championship trophy at the Vegreville Men’s Open golf tournament.

The Alberta Government is Overcharging Taxpayers $10 Billion Every Year Franco Terrazzano Canadian Taxpayers Federation

Alberta taxpayers have been duped into overpaying by $10 billion more for government services every year. Even worse, that incredible sum of money isn’t delivering better services for Albertans.

The Blue Ribbon Panel, a team of financial experts led by former Saskatchewan New Democratic finance minister, Janice MacKinnon, recently released a damning report on the province’s budget woes. There’s a clear takeaway for taxpayers: the Alberta government is overcharging us by $10 billion every year.

“The panel found that Alberta’s spending per capita is the highest in Canada and has consistently been higher than the average of the 10 provinces over the last 25 years,” states the report.

Albertans spend $2,451 per person more than the average of British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec for provincial government services. That means the Alberta government’s annual expenses would be $10 billion less if spending levels were on par with the average of these three comparable provinces – and it means there would be no deficit.

The overcharging isn’t justifiable given the quality of services Alberta taxpayers receive.

“In some key areas, in spite of the higher levels of

funding, the results achieved are no better and, in some cases, worse than in other provinces,” stated the panel.

Take health care. Alberta is the youngest province and we each spend $1,000 more per person than people living in Ontario, but we don’t get the best health-care delivery. “[Alberta’s health-care] outcomes are no better and are often worse than comparable provinces … Albertans wait an average of 26 weeks [from a referral by a general practitioner until they receive treatment], more than 10 weeks longer than in Ontario which has the shortest wait times,” noted the panel.

The government’s budget problems are bad now, but things will get much worse if this runaway spending train isn’t stopped. Every Albertan could owe over $20,000 in provincial government debt by 2022.

Then there are the interest charges needed to service that debt.

In 2022, taxpayers could be paying $3.7 billion in debt interest payments – a far cry from the $600 million a decade earlier. This would cost every Albertan about $800 per year in 2022, or a family of four nearly $3,200.

Families can’t afford to lose out on thousands of dollars every year to the bond fund managers on Bay Street.

The more money Alberta sends to the big banks in Toronto or New York to service the debt, the less money we have to spend on services that actually matter. The panel noted

VIEWPOINT - CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

SEPTEMBER 18, 2019

www.NewsAdvertiser.com

VIEWPOINT - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 that the billions of dollars in debt interest payments in 2022 could pay for more than 30,000 teachers or 35,000 long-term care beds.

It’s clear that squeezing more tax dollars out of cashstrapped Albertans isn’t the way to get the province’s fiscal house in order.

“Raising taxes to find more money for the current level of programs and services is not the answer,” stated the panel. “If a family was paying more than their neighbours for having their car serviced and getting worse results, it would not simply find more money to pay the higher costs.

Instead, it would find out what others were doing to get better results at a lower cost.”

The government needs to work tirelessly until it fixes this spending problem. It’s not rocket science. If B.C., Ontario, and Quebec can figure out a way to provide quality services for significantly less money, why can’t Alberta?

3 tips for taking frame-worthy fall photos News Advertiser

Is autumn the most photogenic season? The answer according to many photography enthusiasts is yes. Here are three tips for capturing the colours and textures of fall, whether you’re using high-end equipment or the camera on your smartphone.

1. Use indirect light. Avoid bright sunny days and try to shoot either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Don’t be afraid to take photos on rainy days; rain makes colours pop in a way that the sun can’t.

2. Take close-up shots. You might be captivated by the vistas around you but look at what’s close at hand too. The image of a single leaf or pinecone can be just as striking.

3. Consider composition. Think about the different components in your photographs and how they look together. Don’t be afraid to set up what’s in the frame before snapping your photos. Add some brightcoloured leaves or remove a piece of litter to ensure the shot is just right.

In fall, there are picture-perfect moments everywhere you turn. A pumpkin patch, a local football field and your own backyard can all be great places to take autumninspired photos.

community as the assessed person for a designated manufactured home on a site in a manufactured home community and any other improvements located on the site and owned or occupied by the person occupying the designated manufactured home.

When Town Manager Cliff Craig clarifies that this would designate the owner of the manufactured home community to receive tax notices, and then collect taxes for homeowners in the community, some concerns were brought forward by

After the regular council meeting was called to order by Deputy Mayor Ann Waters (in Mayor MacPhee’s absence), an encouraging award was presented to staff from the Vegreville Materials Recovery Facility by the Alberta Recycling Management Authority. The VMRF was chosen to be the recipient of the Medium-Sized Community Collection Site Awards of Excellence, along with large community winner ARMA Chair Caroline McAuley presented the award which mainly consists

members of the gallery.

One homeowner from a local park said that a big concern for her was one of privacy. “Why does he need to know how much my taxes are? We go through roughly five managers per year, so will they also become privy to my tax bill? I don’t think that makes sense.”

Other concerns brought forward included the potential for elevated rent costs, payment schedule, and “opening a can of administration fees.”

A petition handed in which was signed by more than 50% of Vegreville’s manufactured homeowners was not accepted due to unclear wording, but the second and third readings to mark the bylaw’s approval were postponed for the appropriate 60 days from last printed notice (August 28+7) for another petition to be written and signed.

of “bragging rights, signage to display, and the awareness that your facility is top-notch.”

“Since we started the awards in 2008, we’ve seen a huge sense of pride from different sites who have won, as well as improvement of waste collection throughout the province.”

In correspondence, Alberta Municipal Affairs approved a grant to the Town for the 47A Street and 49 Avenue project, which was completed this summer. The total grant funds came to $351,190.

Presented by Community Services Director Phil Rowe, the Regional Recreation and Culture Master Plan was approved and is available to the public on the Town website. The Plan documents comparisons throughout the aria, as well as the current status and goals of recreation and culture in Vegreville.

Vortex Host First-Ever Bantam Football Game

Steven Cheremyshynski Head Coach – Vegreville Football Association It was Saturday, September 14th, and a beautiful day for a football game.

The Vortex Bantam Football team hosted our first-ever home game. Both players and coaches were overwhelmed with the community support and want to thank the fans for coming out to cheer on the team. It is nice to play at home in front of such a large crowd.

The team had a slow start and fell quickly 13-0 to the St. Paul Bengals.

We managed to settle some of the nerves and started to play better football all around. St. Paul is a very physical team and we had a hard time adjusting to this style of play. There were some key penalties throughout the game that hurt some of our drives,

limiting our scoring chances. Some of these penalties are silly errors that firstyear players make. Hopefully, as we get more experience, we will have fewer penalties. We did suffer some injuries throughout this game.

The biggest downfall for this game was a weak performance tackling.

Overall the coaching staff is pleased with the effort from the team despite losing 46-6. A first-year team will have games like this. We know where we have to go to be competitive in our league. The Vortex are heading out of town this Saturday, September 21 to play in Lloydminster. Lloydminster is currently ranked first in the Wheatland League and should be a contender for provincial play this year, so the team is looking forward to the challenge.

Holden 4-H Beef Club September Report Recycling project, upcoming weigh-in, and the start of the new year for Holden 4-H Beef Club Quinten Albrecht Reporter – Holden 4-H Beef Club

On Thursday, September 12th, the Holden 4-H Beef Club held its annual organizational meeting at the Holden Complex. The meeting was called to order at 7p.m. And started off with the pledge.

We received a report from the

Treasurer, followed by discussing possible dates for our fundraiser this year which will be tire recycling, organized by the Roulston family! We also decided that our weigh in day will be October 20th at the

Albrecht farm at a time yet to be determined.

Next we decided to give out prizes for the Best Kept Record Book and the Highest Scoring Diary at our next meeting.

It was then discussed that the Beaver District

will allow each member individually to decide whether or not they wish to implant their steers. We also voted to hold the club elections at our next meeting October 3rd at 7p.m. At the Holden Complex. The meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. We will be kicking off our club’s 74th year of operation with 16 members so far.

PLC Celebrates the Farming Lifestyle Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Farmers provide so much for society. So, Vegreville and Area Parent Link Centre celebrated farming when they presented their September 13 Drop-In Program with the theme, Farm.

The activities offered were a chance to paint traitors which were premade out of Popsicle sticks, an egg scavenger hunt, a cowboy hat toss game, plenty of farmrelated equipment to play on, and a chance to draw on the blackboard.

Stephanie tries on a cowboy hat.

There was a farm theme snack and a story which was related to farming was read to them.

Also, at this program, casual wear took on a new cutest level when the youngsters wore comfortable clothing that was suitable for the farming lifestyle.

Rangers Ring in Pre-Season with Victory Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser After last year’s hard-learned lessons and transition to a younger team, the Vegreville Rangers are chomping at the bit and ready for action. Finally coming out of tryouts and training camps, the 2019-2020 Rangers hosted their first preseason home exhibition game against Ponoka and a community BBQ at the Vegreville Aquatic & Fitness Centre this Sunday, September 15th.

After dining and celebrating the new season with family, friends, and fans, the team

took to the ice with “no chill”.

Both teams battled it out in the first and second periods, leading to a tied score of 4-4 at the end of the third.

Straight away into overtime, the Rangers fired out two goals, bringing the score up to 6-4 for Vegreville.

Ponoka clawed their way back up the scoreboard as the clock ran out, eventually fighting their way to a 6-6 tie with only a few minutes left in overtime. As tensions elevated nearing the end of the game, some brief altercations resulted in penalties for both teams, but it was the

Rangers who, with strong defence and persistent offence, scored the game-winning goal with only minutes to spare and a final score of 7-6 for the Vegreville Rangers.

Following this first game, the Rangers will compete with what head coach Sean Malone characterizes as defence-focused, offence-savvy, relentless playing in their upcoming exhibition games this week and the start of the regular North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League season in the next couple of weeks.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I've loved cats ever since I was a kid. To me they are the perfect pets. They're easy to care for, always affectionate and easy to love. I have two of them that I named Abbot and Costello. The names came not from their sense of humor, but from the fact that one is tall and lean while the other is considerably overweight. I'm not sure if this is in his genes or if he's snacking on the kitchen garbage.

Unfortunately I've taken on a job that requires extensive travel and caring for Abbot and Costello is becoming increasingly complicated. My hope was to find them a new home together, but all the people who have responded to my classified ad only want Abbot. Poor Costello (my fat cat) doesn't seem to attract any caregivers.

Although no one says it, I'm sure people just don't like his weight.

Do you have any solutions for finding both of these guys a new home?

• • •

Cash: I'm sure if your cats

could argue "Who's on First?" they'd find a home in no time.

However since it's unlikely they'll learn the art of slapstick comedy,

Fast Facts Hey Abbott!

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 09/15/19 09/14/14 ©The Classified Guys®

you do have a tricky task.

Carry: It's difficult to give up a pet that you've grown to love.

Finding them a new home together will be tough. But even more difficult may be entertaining the idea of splitting them up.

Cash: On the plus side, it sounds like your cats get along very well together. That should help. In addition, your choice of catchy names may encourage people to try and keep them together as well.

Carry: Unfortunately, finding a new owner will probably come down to how much time you can afford to put toward the process.

The longer you can wait to find a

suitable home, the better chance you have of success.

Cash: If your new job and constant travel is interfering with their care or finding them a home, then you may have to consider splitting up the comedy duo. Although emotionally difficult for you, finding them good homes separately is better than not finding one at all.

Carry: While you continue your search, put Costello on a diet if you're concerned about his weight. Loosing a few pounds may not find him the perfect owner, but it could go a long way to improving his long-term health.

Cash: And to make sure he's not cheating, you might want to get a lid for your kitchen garbage!

Abbott and Costello were the slapstick comedy duo of the 1940's. They started working together developing their act around 1935 and performed their famous "Who's on First?" routine on national radio in 1938. From there they went on to films and television becoming the top box office draw with a reported take of $10 million. They remained a top ten box office attraction until 1952. Their partnership dissolved when the IRS charged them with owing back taxes, forcing them to sell their homes and much of their assets.

Man’s Best Friend

Latest reports show that Americans and their pets have become increasingly obese. In 1962 it was estimated that only about 13% of people were obese.

Since then, the percentages have grown significantly. According the latest reports from the Center for Disease Control, more than 66% of all Americans are now considered overweight or obese.

Likewise, we've passed our eating habits on to our pets. According to statistics, over 40% of our pet dogs are considered obese as well.

Reader Humor Out to Lunch

Over the years my husband has tolerated us owning cats.

Last year, I adopted a new one named Buster that required special food every day. Each night I would mix two containers of tuna. One for my husband to take for lunch and the other mixed with cat food to feed Buster in the morning.

I suppose it was inevitable that one day I'd confuse the containers. While feeding Buster I realized I gave my husband the wrong one for lunch and had no way to reach him.

That evening when he came home I figured he'd be upset.

Instead when I asked him how his lunch was, he handed me an empty container and smirked, "Honey, today that lunch was purr-fect!"

Jacob Charette Memorial Golf Tournament

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On Sunday, September 8th, the first annual Jacob Charette Memorial Golf Tournament made strides to fundraise for the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

The tournament was organized by Jason Charette in memory of his son Jacob who passed away June 30, 2019.

“We wanted to get some of our community together and do something that Jacob loved,” said Jason Charette. “His golf clubs were with me and my golf cart, so I guess in that way, he was with us all day.”

The tournament was a fundraiser for the Stollery Children’s Hospital. “They did so much for us – they did every-

thing they could and this is our way of giving back.”

Carette says that after the success of this year’s tournament, he decided to make it annual fundraising event – especially considering their success in meeting the goal of $5,000 raised for charity.

“Based on how many people from the community came out to support this, we will definitely do it again.”

For the evening banquet, the clubhouse was full of tournament participants and a table overflowing with donated prizes from local business and individuals for the tournament winners.

BEAUDETTE, Edward August 28, 1969 - September 20, 1986 In loving memory of our dear son, Edward who passed away September 20, 1986.

Softly the leaves of memory fall.

Gently we gather and treasure them all.

Unseen, unheard, you are always near.

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

There will always be heartache And often a silent tear, But always precious memories Of days when you were here.

We hold you close within our hearts; And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

When evening shades are falling And we sit quietly alone, To our hearts there comes a longing, We wish you could come home.

Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But little do they know the heartache Our smiles hide all the while.

Today, tomorrow our whole life through, We will always love and remember you.

Love Mom and Dad

BODNAREK, GeeGee John Bodnarek who left us Sept 19, 1988 We had a wonderful grandfather, One who never really grew old; His smile was made of sunshine, And his heart was solid gold; His eyes were as bright as shining stars, And in his cheeks fair roses you see.

We had a wonderful grandfather, And that’s the way it will always be.

But take heed, because He’s still keeping an eye on all of us, So let’s make sure He will like what he sees.

We miss you every day, Sheila Lupul, Sharyn Danyluk, Stacey Bodnarek and Ryan Bodnarek

Lamont Gathers on the Front Porch Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

On September 7th, the Beaver Hill Pioneer Lodge in Lamont hosted the community on their front porch for an evening of music and finger food.

Since opening nineteen months ago, manager David Gray says that they have rarely opened their doors to the outside community, which is something they planned to change with the event. “It’s important for the residents to have contact with the community, and it’s important for the community to be able to see what we’re doing here.”

The event featured live music provided by local musicians Rick Willis, Larry Buckles, and Erni Scheeler, who said that they enjoyed the event, and enjoy playing together.

“They played amazing tunes, and it was the first time they all played together,” said Gray.

The overall event turnout was approximately 50 people; 30 Beaver Hill Lodge residents and 20 from the community, who sat out on the porch to listen to some local music and eat wings throughout the evening.

Vegreville, Alta – On September 13, 2019, at approximately 10:00 a.m., the Vegreville RCMP received a complaint of a possible stolen vehicle parked at a local motel.

As the investigation continued, and the vehicle was located, an adult male attempted to drive away in the vehicle but was stopped by the police. As the member attempted to effect the arrest, the suspect fled the scene on foot and was arrested after a brief foot chase. The accused was found in possession of substances believed to be methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Mundare Community Awareness

munity members get a fresh start on the new school year, Lamont County and District FCSS held their annual com-

munity awareness evenings in both Lamont and Mundare this week.

The events, though usually held in the schools on their respective “meet the teachers” nights in order to strike two birds with one stone, saw a small change in scheduling this year which resulted with the Mundare event being held at the Mundare Senior Centre.

“It was really nice of them to accommodate us,” said Darlene Onushko, “and the venue worked out for us even if it was slightly different than what we’ve used before.”

The approximately 25 people from the Mundare area who attended the event were greeted by community organizations and groups from throughout the local area, including the Mundare Fire Department, Veg-Al Drug, WJS, Mundare

Communities in Bloom, the Mundare Library, FCSS, and more.

Each organization was given the opportunity to set up a display in order to help educate the public on what is available to them.

“It’s a good opportunity for people to see what they have available to them,” said Onushko, “especially at a time of year where people are planning activities and looking for resources for the next few months.

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Investigate Collision near Chipman Cpl. Jennifer BROWN Media Contact – Fort Saskatchewan RCMP

Fort Saskatchewan, AB - On September 16th, 2019, at approximately 2:15 pm, the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP responded to a collision near the town of Chipman, AB. Upon investigation, police determined that a pickup truck and a Baler were traveling east on Hwy 15, between Hwy 834 and RR191. The pickup truck attempted to pass the baler, but in doing so, it hit head-on with a westbound swather. The pickup truck traveled approximately 100m before coming to rest in the south ditch.

The driver and only occupant of the pickup was transported to the University of Alberta Hospital by STARS Air Ambulance in serious condition. The driver of the swather was not injured. Traffic was rerouted in that area for a short period of time in order to allow STARS to land.

Police have determined that alcohol was not a factor in this collision. No charges have been laid at this time, and the collision remains under investigation.

Tips for marketing your home to millennial buyers

News Advertiser These days, it’s important to appeal to millennial buyers when putting your home up for sale. Born between the years 1980 and 2000, this generation is becoming the largest demographic in the country buying houses, accounting for 49 per cent of first-time homebuyers.

Here’s how to get the attention of this young but powerful segment of the housing market.

1. Make your home move-in ready. Because of their busy lifestyles and limited financial resources, millennials want to buy turnkey properties they can move into right away rather than fixer-uppers they’ll have to put time and money into restoring.

2. Create an enticing online listing. Since over 90 per cent of today’s buyers find homes using the internet, it’s important to perfect your property’s online

listing. Consider hiring a professional to help you stage and take photos of your home.

3. Include eco-friendly features. Millennials tend to be more concerned about environmental issues than their parents; they’re looking for “green” homes that are energy efficient, incorporate sustainable materials and include special features like solar panels.

4. Use the latest real estate technology. The first generation to grow up with the internet, millennials rely on technology to obtain information, communicate and make transactions. Make sure your agent uses the latest mobile apps, virtual tours and e-signature technologies, and has a strong social media presence.

Appealing to millennials may require extra effort, but it’s worth ensuring that your home is catching the eye of all interested potential buyers.
