CTF Urges Alberta Government
to scap the carbon tax
CTF
Today the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) unveiled
a billboard in Edmonton, urging the Alberta government to
scrap the carbon tax. The billboard is located on Jasper
Avenue at 99th Street, directly west of the Shaw Conference
Centre.
Since the announcement of the carbon tax in Alberta, the
CTF has been flooded with phone calls from Albertans concerned about how the carbon tax will impact their families
and businesses.
Name: Katelyn Melnyk
Occupation: School Secretary
Likes: coaching volleyball, doing crafts
Dislikes: bugs, gloomy days
“The carbon tax is guaranteed to make life harder for
Alberta families and businesses, but it won’t make a dent in
global climate change,” said CTF Alberta Director Paige
MacPherson. “The carbon tax is all pain and no gain.”
The CTF’s Edmonton billboard points out that the Alberta
carbon tax will hike home heating bills by at least $200 in
2018 for the average family of four. The billboard urges
Albertans to visit www.ScrapTheCarbonTax.ca to sign a petition opposing Alberta’s carbon tax.
“It gets pretty cold here in Edmonton, so for the Alberta
government to nonchalantly suggest Edmontonians change
their lifestyles to avoid the carbon tax is absurd,” said
MacPherson. “Home heating isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.”
The $200 per year figure does not account for the additional costs of the carbon tax as a result of increased property taxes, education fees and grocery bills. A federally
imposed carbon price of $50/tonne would have an even
larger impact, costing the average Canadian household
$2,569 annually by 2022.
The CTF unveiled a similar billboard in Calgary earlier
this week.
“We’ve heard from hundreds of Albertans who oppose the
government’s carbon tax and are genuinely nervous about
the harm it will cause,” said MacPherson. “After being walloped by a hurting economy and a laundry list of recent tax
hikes, Albertan taxpayers do not have extra money for a
needless carbon tax.”
The CTF launched its campaign against the carbon tax in
September with the release of Scrap the Carbon Tax bumper
stickers, which are available to all Albertans free of charge.

Preparing for a job interview
Submitted
Being on time and confident aren’t the only keys to a
successful job interview. Good planning and preparation
are essential when attempting to make a good impression
on potential employers. Here are a few things you should
think about before your interview:
• Choose your attire in advance. Always dress according to the
position you’re interviewing for when picking out your clothes.
• Know the route and the amount of time you’ll need to get to
the interview. Give yourself plenty of time in case you encounter any unforeseen events, such as construction or traffic.
• Prepare any documents you’ll need beforehand.
These might include your cover letter, CV, a list of references and copies of your diplomas or
degrees. Place them all in a folder to avoid appearing
disorganized.
• Research the company as much as possible before your
interview. Learn about the products or services they provide, their target market, company objectives and mission
statements, and new projects. Websites, annual reports,
specialized journals
and press releases are great places to look when searching
for information.
• Reread the job listing and identify the key criteria relating
to the position, such as the desired skills and qualifications,
required training, duties and responsibilities.
• Analyze and memorize your CV. Determine and highlight any relevant experience, skills and assets, and education or training you’ll be bringing to the position. Try to
identify any professional weaknesses you may have as well
as how you overcame them or minimized their impact.
Finally, prepare some frequently asked questions and
ask a friend or family member to interview you. You’ll be
able to practise giving clear and concise answers, maintaining eye contact and using the appropriate language
and terminology. Whatever you do, don’t memorize your
answers: being yourself is crucial for a successful job
interview. Good luck!

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER
COMPILED BY DAN BEAUDETTE
90 Years Ago – October 13, 1926
A regular meeting of the Council of the Town of Vegreville was
held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, October 7th. A.M.
Thompson protested against untreated sewage being permitted to
flow into the river. Mayor Holden assured Mr. Thompson that this
matter had been receiving the careful consideration of the Council;
that methods for overcoming the nuisance had been thoroughly
discussed with the Provincial Sanitary Engineer; that just recently
the pits at the old disposal plant had been cleaned out with a view
to ascertaining their condition and the feasibility of bringing the old
plant into operation; and that this being found impractical, an alternative plan for overcoming the nuisance is now in course of preparation by a firm of engineers.
One of Edmonton’s best known and popular citizen in the person
of Lieut. Col. B. J. Saunders, president of the Alberta Land
Surveyors’ association and one with a distinguished military
career, passed away at his home. He was prominent in military
circles, being one of the four officers chosen by the Canadian government to represent Canada at King Edward’s funeral in 1908.
The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. John Makaborski, south east of
town, (the old J.J. Stanton place) was burned to the ground
Tuesday night, building and contents being a complete loss. The
fire leaves the family in a destitute position, all clothing being
destroyed. There are four small children. Something in the way of
assistance such as providing clothing for the children, etc. will have
to be accorded the family.
His Excellency, the Earl of Athlone, Governor-General of Canada
has donated bronze medals for competition in connection with the
Grade IX departmental examinations for one student in each of the
School Divisions. The winner of the medal in the Vegreville Division
is James Dudley Wallbridge and he has received the medal together with a letter of congratulations from Premier Aberhart. Winning
this medals denotes a high standard of work, both by the pupil and
his teachers.
Pte. Newton Warren spent a couple of days leave with his parents
here over the weekend.
Chief Rodgers has rounded up a couple of boys, alleged to be
implicated in breaking into and stealing certain goods from the
warehouse on the Vegreville Drug Co. also of stealing goods to the
value of $3.50 from a car parked on the street. The Chief has
recovered the goods.
A special meeting of the town council with members of the
Vegreville Chamber of Commerce present, authorized the purchase of new Christmas lights for Main Street, 50th Ave. and 51st
Ave. to be installed this year. The matter was turned down at a
previous meeting owing to an unsatisfactory method of payment for
the fixtures.
The happiest girl in Two Hills on Friday night was Miss Shirlee
Elkow when she was selected queen from among three candidates
for northeastern Alberta’s representative for the national Centennial
Miss Canada beauty queen. Shirlee, 21, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Nick Elkow of Beauvallon will compete in Toronto for the top
national honor.
Due to the strong winds last Saturday the lucky leaflet air drop has
been postponed to Thursday, October 13th, weather permitting.
The dropping of the leaflets over Vegreville in conjunction with the
Fire Prevention Week program will take place during the afternoon
and the person gathering most of them and returning them to the
fire hall by 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon will receive a cash prize of
$5.00.
The Alberta Amateur Hockey Association announced the 40 players who have been invited to participate in Alberta’s provincial
camp to determine candidates for Canada’s National Women’s
Hockey Team. Jody Grabas of Innisfree, had been chosen as one
of the 40. Her position is forward and in 1991 she played with the
Mannville Bantams. Grabas was [part of the Alberta women’s
hockey team that won the gold this February at the Canadian
Winter Games held in Prince Edward Island.
Burn Victim Greg Goulet answered questions the children from
Queen Elizabeth school had about fire and his burns. Greg Goulet
of the Alberta Burn Rehabilitation Society and Brian Henderson of
the Vegreville Fire Department addressed the group during fire
prevention week.
A fire north of Innisfree began burning on the morning on Monday,
October 7. Approximately 11 quarters of land burned by Thursday,
October 10. Mannville RCMP say the fire may smoulder for many
months but is presently under control. Responding to the blaze
were fire units from Vegreville, Vermilion, Mannville, Innisfree,
Minburn and area farmers. The cause of the fire is due to the carelessness of a local resident.

Referendums: No Plan B
Gwynne Dyer
President Juan Manuel Santos didn’t have to hold a
referendum to ratify
the deal to end sixty years of war between the Colombian
government and FARC (the Revolutionary Armed Forces
of Colombia). It was held because both Santos and the
FARC leaders thought a referendum victory would make
it harder for any later government to break the deal – but
they lost the referendum.
In Sunday’s referendum, just over a third of qualified
Colombian voters (37 percent) even bothered to cast a
ballot – and the ‘No’ side won by a sliver-thin majority
of 50.2 percent. The ‘Yes’ side, however, got large
majorities in the more rural parts of the country that had
been devastated by the long war.
In the war zones, most people just wanted the killing to
stop, but in the safer urban areas people had the luxury of
wondering whether it was morally justifieable to amnesty
rebels who had killed so many people. And as in most
referendums, lots of people seized the chance to make a
protest vote against the government in general. So the
peace deal was lost.
There is no Plan B. “If the public says ‘No,’ the process
stops and there will be no result,” chief government
negotiator Humberto de la Calle told Colombia’s El
Tiempo newspaper. “The consequence of ‘No’ winning is
war,”
said former President Cesar
Gaviria, who led the
campaign for the
‘Yes’ vote.
That
may
be
too pessimistic, for FARC’s leaders really do want to end
the war. “If ‘No’ wins, it wouldn’t mean that the process
has to fall apart,” guerrilla negotiator Carlos Antonio
Lozada said three months ago. “We aren’t required by
law to decide to continue such a painful war.”
But without the legal protection of the peace deal, many
of FARC’s 5,000 fighters will be reluctant to lay down
their weapons and come out of the jungle. Why did
Santos take the risk of a referendum?
Neither the Colombian constitution nor any other
country’s says that peace agreements ending civil wars
must be ratified by a referendum. And when civil wars do
end, most governments recognise that emotions are still
too raw to put necessary concessions like an amnesty for
all the combatants to a popular vote.
At the end of the anti-apartheid struggle in South
Africa, Nelson Mandela won the country’s first one-person-one-vote election, but he did not hold a referendum
asking the voters to approve the agreement he had negotiated with the white minority regime. Instead he created
the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where those
who had committed atrocities were asked to admit their
crimes, but were not punished.
There was no referendum held to ratify the Good Friday
Agreement of 1998 that effectively ended the 30-year
civil war in Northern Ireland. Nobody asked the Lebanese
people to approve the diplomatic Taif Agreement of 1989
that led to an end of the fifteen-year civil war there, and
it was the Lebanese parliament, not a referendum, that
passed the amnesty law.
A referendum is a very blunt instrument even when the
question at issue is less tangled and emotional. In the
recent referendum on British membership in the European
Union, for example, most of the 51.9 percent who voted
to leave were really voting against mass immigration
(half of which does not come from the EU) and against
the impact of globalisation on their living standards.
Representative democracy does a much better job at
answering the right question.

Although it may take years of practice and concentration to become
proficient, bow hunting has gained
widespread popularity across the
United States and Canada in recent
years.
Bows allow disabled, novice and
seasoned veterans another hunting
option. The reasons bows are preferred vary from learning a new skill
to a sense of accomplishment. Some
say there is an adrenaline rush while
others favour the longer hunting season. There are a number of compounds and crossbows available this
year.

Winter driving 101: Tips for tackling snowy roads
road before carefully accelerating.
Beware of all-season tires. They
may sound like a huge cost-saver, but
all-season tires are not designed for
rough winter conditions. Winter tires
work best when temperatures dip
News Canada
Icy, snowy roads are something we
have to deal with across the country,
but there are easy ways you can
increase your safety and car control.
Know your vehicle. Every vehicle is
different, so learning about your
car’s braking system and tire traction
can help you understand how it will
perform in slippery or snowy driving
conditions. When reading your car’s
manual look for words such as rear
wheel, front wheel, or four-wheel
drive, as well as anti-lock braking
system, to better understand how
your vehicle will respond to a skid.
Snow removal is essential. Before
getting in your car, it’s essential that
you clear snow and ice from everything — windows, mirrors, lights,
roof, and even your boots. This will
help prevent unremoved snow from
sliding forward and blocking visibility during braking or melting and
fogging up windows.
Mind the gap. Anyone who has
driven in winter knows changing
lanes in snowy conditions can be
challenging. Minimizing your steering angle when merging can help
you avoid the ridge of snow that may
have built up between lanes from
pulling your tires. In slippery conditions, tripling or quadrupling your
gap between vehicles can also help
you avoid a nasty collision.
Don’t panic. Even careful and
experienced drivers can skid. When
you find yourself skidding, keep eyes
on the road and where you want to
go. Don’t make sudden, jerking
movements of the wheel, accelerator
or brake (common things to do when
panicking) and keep feet steady.
Don’t spin out. If you find yourself
stuck, don’t spin your wheels as this
can dig you deeper into the snow.
Try edging yourself free by gently
rocking your car back and forth by
shifting into forward and reverse. To
regain steering control, take your
foot off the brake and focus on gently
steering towards the direction you
want to go. Ease off the gas pedal
and wait for the wheels to grip the
below 7°C and offer the best traction,
handling, and braking — especially
when it comes to shorter braking
distances.
Croft points out that if driving
conditions are really bad, avoiding
driving altogether is your safest bet.
A regular prewinter inspection by an
auto service provider can also ensure
your vehicle can tackle the roads
safely.

Seatbelts: Myths and Facts
RCMP Ponderings
By Cst. J. Gagnon
In North America, motor vehicle collisions are among the leading cause of
death and injury for people from ages
1 to 54. For adults and older children,
seatbelts are the most effective way to
save lives and reduce injuries. This is
widely accepted as fact yet millions of
people still choose not to buckle up
for various reasons.
Some people may find seatbelts
uncomfortable or inconvenient simply
because they are not used to wearing
them. Those of us who have made
seatbelts a habit can attest that there
is no discomfort or inconvenience to
wearing a seatbelt once their use
becomes regular. I’m sure we can all
agree that the serious discomfort of
an injury caused by a collision in no
way compares to the minor discomfort
from wearing a seatbelt for the first
few times.
Some may believe that seatbelts are
unnecessary in airbag equipped vehicle. Airbags, however only provide
supplemental protection in frontal
collisions but offer little to no protection in side or rear impact collisions
or rollovers. By their design, airbags
are engineered to work with seatbelts
and motorists may find themselves
sliding under, over or around airbags
in the event of a collision. In many
cases the airbag will be ineffective
when not used in conjunction with a
seatbelt.
Others have said they feel safer not
wearing a seatbelt and are afraid of
becoming trapped in their vehicle in
the event of a fire. Though vehicle
fires are extremely rare, the best
chance of survival in these cases
are for the occupants to remain
conscious and
uninjured. Even
with a vehicle
fire, the greatest
danger is the initial impact of the
collision.
Occupants not
wearing a seatbelt are much
more likely to be
knocked unconscious or severely
injured and will
not be able to
exit the vehicle.
Some
people
believe that not
wearing a seatbelt will allow
them
to
be
thrown free of
the vehicle and escape serious injury
in a collision. The chances of this
however, are virtually impossible as
occupants who are thrown from
vehicles often suffer the most serious
injuries typically crashing through
windows, scraping along the pavement and even being crushed by
their own vehicle. The idea of being
thrown free of the vehicle and landing gently in the soft grass is pure
fantasy.
Some believe that seatbelts cause
more damage than they prevent.
The truth is that seatbelts very seldom cause injuries in a collision. If
they do, the injuries are often no
more than surface bruises and much
less severe than would have been the
case without a seatbelt. Though it is
true that sometimes the force of a
collision is so great that nothing
could have prevented injury, studies
have consistently shown that injuries
are much more severe when seatbelts
are not worn.
Many believe that they are good
drivers and will have no issues as
long as they’re not going very fast or
very far. This is an attitude that
seems to be universal in almost
everything we do. It’s comforting to
think these things only happen to
other people but statistics have shown
that one out of three people will be
injured in a traffic collision at some
point in their lives. Also remember
that most traffic injuries occur within
40 km of home at speeds of less than
60 km/h. Even if you’re driving to
school or to the corner store, great
danger still exists. And even if you
consider yourself a good driver and
have never had a collision, you certainly cannot account for other drivers
that are sharing the road with you.
It’s also important that young children are safe when riding in a vehicle
and it is the driver’s legal responsibility to ensure that each passenger
under 16 is properly secured. Any
child under 6 years old who weighs
less than 40 lb. must be properly
secured in an approved child safety
seat. For more information and regulations on child safety seats, visit the
Alberta Government sponsored website boosterseats.ca.
Not only are seatbelts a good idea,
it’s the law. To protect public safety,
the Alberta Government has made
the wearing of seatbelts on any road
mandatory. Occupants not wearing a
seatbelt will be subject to a fine of
$155. For children under 16, this fine
is imposed on the driver.

Clean Eggs, Healthy Chicks
Agrinews
A project funded by Growing Forward
2 found wide variation in how hatching egg producers clean eggs, and
developed best practices to minimize
bacteria and the need for antibiotics.
Between the hens, the roosters, and
the dirt, the environment in a hatching barn isn’t pristine. Almost as soon
as eggs are laid, they’ll pick up some
degree of dirt. If an egg is left that way,
bacteria can grow on the shell and
could affect the chick once it emerges.
That’s why hatching egg producers
normally clean or wash their eggs.
The cleaner the egg, the less likely a
bacterial infection will occur that
may require the use of antibiotics.
“Farmers are using many different
methods to clean their eggs,” says
Brenda Schneider, poultry research
technologist with Alberta Agriculture
and Forestry (AF). “Some dust them
off, others use an egg-washing
machine or another method.”
In 2014, in a six-month project
funded by Growing Forward 2,
Schneider and AF colleague Valerie
Carney, a poultry research scientist,
developed recommendations for the
best way to clean eggs in a hatching
operation. Since then, these have
increasingly become standard practice, allowing producers to increase
their hatch rate and reduce the need
for antibiotics.
These AF professionals began by
surveying Alberta hatching egg producers on exactly how they clean
their eggs. Of thirty such operations
in the province, they received information from fifteen. “Of fifteen
hatching operations, we found that
eleven different methods were being
used,” says Carney.
As she explains, each egg has
thousands of tiny pores where bacteria can hide. Even though an egg
may appear reasonably free of dirt, it
could still harbor bacteria. A thin
cuticle on the shell provides protection for the shell – and the chick
inside – but if the cuticle is compromised, it could expose the chick to
bacteria. To determine which eggcleaning method worked best, Carney
and Schneider visited egg barns,
gathered eggs, and cleaned them in
the eleven different ways producers
were using. They then sent the eggs
to an AF lab for testing, to determine
which cleaning method minimized
bacteria most effectively.
The most effective method was to
use an egg-washing machine. These
machines use water warmer than 42
degrees C, as water temperature was
found to be significant in taking out
bacteria. At a cost of $7,000 to $8,000,
an egg-washing machine is a significant investment, but one that, given
what’s at stake, more producers may
consider making.
The second-most effective method
was Clorox wipes. Considerably
cheaper than the egg-washing
machine, this method nonetheless
did a good job. The active ingredient
in the wipes is known to be benign
for chicks.
In the next phase of this project,
Schneider and Carney developed a
range of printed information detailing which cleaning methods are preferable. You’ll find their poster on
many hatching barn walls, guiding
workers through the correct process.
Schneider and Carney’s findings have
since been incorporated into technical materials published by both the
provincial and national organizations
that represent hatching egg producers. Recently, AF conducted a survey
of producers to ask whether the new
egg-washing recommendations were
being implemented. The survey indicated the procedures have been
widely adopted in the industry.
Cleaner eggs means less chance for
bacteria to develop, which in turn
means healthier chicks and less need
for antibiotics and the associated cost.
To Schneider, this is a worthwhile
dividend from a relatively simple
change in management practices.
“One producer told us that washing
eggs more effectively had increased
his hatch by 1 percent,” she says.
“That’s quite a difference and this
project made that possible.”
Growing Forward 2 is a federal –
provincial – territorial initiative.

Ask the Guys
Dear Classified Guys,
I'm in shock. I was reading the
classifieds the other day when I
stumbled across an ad in the
business services section. A
professional taxidermist was
offering to mount your pet.
Cats, dogs and birds were his
specialty. After I read the ad, I
began to think about it in more
detail. What kind of person
would want to stuff their pet? I
personally couldn't imagine
having my Basset Hound,
Barney, stuffed and standing by
my sofa. Granted, he doesn't
move that much now, but I still
think it would be weird. After all,
when your pet dies, isn't it time
to just let them rest in
peace? I think keeping them around in
this way is morbid.
Why would someone want
to put their loving pet
through all that?
• • •
Cash: You have to love the
classifieds. You never know what
you're going to find, even in the
business services section.
Carry: First though, we need to
correct you on something. In the
world of taxidermy, professionals
prefer the term "mounting", not
"stuffing". Considering the
amount of work and artistry
Duane “Cash” Holze
& Todd “Carry” Holze

© The Classified Guys®
involved, using the term "stuffing"
can be very insulting.
Cash: Today, taxidermy is more
than just a mounted animal head
hanging above the fireplace. Those
who get involved in taxidermy,
either as amateurs or professionals,
spend a lot of time re-creating an
animal to a lifelike state, much like
you would see in museums.
Carry: That's likely the draw to
some pet owners. Losing a beloved
pet can be a very traumatic event.
And while mounting your pet may
seem like an odd choice for you,
others can find great comfort in it.
Cash: In fact, some of the most
famous mountings are the animals
of Roy Rogers. He had his legendary horse, Trigger, mounted
along with his German Shepherd,
Bullet.
Carry: If you consider the alternatives, taxidermy seems like a
logical choice for some. Many
people don't live near a pet cemetery and dislike methods such as
cremation. Others don't want to
bury their pet in the yard just in
case the family moves sometime
in the future.
Cash: To those people, this
idea may make perfect sense.
Taxidermists can place a pet in
almost any position so it can be
very comforting for an owner to
see their pet in a restful manner.
Carry: I imagine if you ever did
choose to mount your Basset
Hound in his natural state, he
wouldn't be standing, but more
likely sleeping by the fire.

Fishing for Truth
Roy Rogers rode his horse
Trigger in every motion picture he
filmed. When his beloved horse
died in 1965 at the age of 33, Roy
had him mounted. Trigger's hide
was dried and stretched over a
plaster likeness that rears on his
hind legs. At a later date, Roy
also had his pet German
Shepherd, Bullet, and Dale Evan's
horse, Buttermilk, mounted as
well. They were all on display at
the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans museum in Branson, Missouri, until it
closed in 2009.
After my girlfriend Jennifer
and I divorced our cheating husbands, we would get together
once a month to catch up. At
our most recent luncheon she
told me about her new boyfriend
and how he often takes weekend
trips to go fly-fishing.
I told her that she better be
careful since "fishing" was the
excuse that both our husbands
used when they went away and
had affairs.
"I already thought of that,"
she conceded. "But I know he's
honest because the last time he
came home, he thanked me for
packing his pajamas."
"Pajamas?" I questioned.
"How does that prove anything?"
She laughed and replied,
"Because I packed them in his
tackle box!"
(Thanks to Joy K.)
Reel It In
Nearly any fisherman would
love to mount the "one that got
away." However, unlike mounting other animals, fish have a
unique problem. When their skin
dries, it loses most of its color,
leaving only patterns and scales.
That's why taxidermists need
good artistry skills to repaint the
entire fish from tip to tail and give
it a natural look. So the next time
you see a fish mounted on the
wall, keep in mind that it is more a
work of art than just a good catch.

Top 3 reasons your kids
should be eating breakfast
News Canada
Did you know that one in five Canadian children is
at risk of starting the school day with an empty stomach because they don’t have access to breakfast at
home? According to a recent survey of Canadian
teachers, hunger is putting many students at a disadvantage. In fact, nearly half of all teachers report seeing children arriving at school each morning who are
hungry. Almost all agree that students who eat a
healthy breakfast perform better in class.
Fortunately, a healthy breakfast doesn’t need to be a
time-consuming ordeal — studies show that something
as simple as cereal and milk helps children grow and
maintain good health. And it doesn’t have to break the
bank either, as the average price of a serving of cereal
(including milk) is just 53 cents.
Here are three other reasons for ensuring your kids
have a quick and nutritious breakfast every morning:
1. Obtain valuable essential nutrients. Most cereal is
packed with nutrients and is relatively low in calories.
A serving of cereal with a cup of 1% milk provides
about 260 calories and delivers important nutrients
including B vitamins, iron, protein, calcium, and
vitamin D.
2. Maintain a healthier body weight. In addition to
helping with improved nutrient intake, children who
eat breakfast have healthier body weights, regardless
of the type of cereal they eat.
3. Enjoy an excellent source of protein. A bowl of
Kellogg’s Special K Protein cereal with one cup of milk
can have as much as 19 grams of protein. By comparison, that’s more protein than other popular breakfast
options like: egg on rye toast (9 grams) or plain
vanilla yogurt with strawberries (5 grams). It’s also a
great option for kids who prefer vegetarian meals.
As part of its Breakfasts for Better Days initiative,
Kellogg Canada will donate a portion of the proceeds
of every box of cereal sold, to a maximum of $100,000,
to its breakfast partners across the country including
Breakfast Club Canada and Food Banks Canada.

GORDYCHUK, Joyce
1943 – 2004
A million times we needed you
A million times we cried
If love alone would have saved you
You would have never died
In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
No one can ever fill
Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more
But in our memories you are with us
As you always were before
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
A part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes
With which we never part
God has you safely in His keeping
But we have you forever in our hearts.

FIBRE CEMENT
Available in boards, panels, shingles or

that’s gaining in popularity. Durable
and resistant to temperature variations, it comes in a wide array of
colours and has either a smooth or
textured finish.

If your home’s exterior siding has
begun to crack, flake, split or warp,
then it’s time to change it. By prolonging the inevitable, you’re allowing the
elements to seep through the exterior
wall cladding and damage the interior
materials. Here are some popular
options available for when it comes to
replacing your siding.
VINYL
This is an affordable, lightweight and
easyto-install material that is impervious to scratches, mould and insect

Adding a second storey to your home?
Submitted
Building up is great way to add value
to your home without sacrificing your
outdoor space. More importantly,
though, this type of extension is the
perfect solution if you want to increase
the amount of available space in your
home. You’ll be able to add bedrooms,
an office, another bathroom or even
an apartment, which you could rent
without having to move.
Most homes are able to accommodate
a second storey. Of course, before
beginning any work whatsoever, make
sure the zoning laws in your municipality permit this type of renovation.
Once you’re given the green light,
you’ll need to choose the right contractor for your project. Ideally, you’ll want
to hire a professional to take care of
the entire renovation from start to
finish. This means having someone on
board for the consultation, evaluation,
planning and construction of every
little detail, such as the room layout,
interior finishing and exterior siding.
Having the right specialist by your side
will allow you to continue living in
your home without having to lift a
finger during the project.
A second storey addition to your
bungalow is nothing short of spectacular. It will add value to your home
while making it far more spacious and
visually stunning. If you want, you
could even take this opportunity to
redesign the ground floor to include a
more functional kitchen or cathedral
ceilings to maximize lighting. It’ll be
like moving into a brand new home

Exterior siding is more than just a
barrier against the seasonal elements;
it defines the very character of your
home. That’s why it’s important to
consider all of your options when looking to upgrade or replace your current
exterior wall cladding.

Students at Vegreville Composite
High School were treated to a book
presentation and reading by local
author, Joseph Machney on October
4.
With clarity and plenty of expression,
Joseph spoke to the students while he
showed that he had great respect for
young people through his interaction
with them.
Joseph began the presentation by
saying he was pretty excited to have
written three novels which he couldn’t
have done if it wasn’t for literacy. The
three novels that Joseph wrote are The
Legend of Zyrah, The Doors of Dawn,
and The Darkness within the Dwarves.
“Literacy is the ability to read, view,
write, design, speak and listen in a way
that allows you to communicate effectively. The power of literacy lies not
just in the ability to read and write, but
rather in a person’s capacity to apply
these skills to effectively connect,
interpret and discern the intricacies of
the world in which they live.
“Strong literacy skills are a key tool
used when children discern and interpret information, enabling them to
utilize the internet to its full potential
and making sure that the inevitable
‘digital footprint’ that children will
leave, is one that is safe, appropriate,
and reflective of their true self.
“But what is your true self? Have you
ever asked yourself, who am I… really?
The question is difficult to answer with
full and authentic honesty. Instead,
people opt to confirm: to do what we
think is right and be the kind of person
we believe will be most accepted by
our peers. We all have an internal
need to be liked and accepted by your
peers. But that internal need is also a
societal conditioning and ultimately a
program that we have adopted.

Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and Hobbit
stories, I have beings of various races
in my stories but mostly they revolve

Vegreville’s residents attend seniors’ reception in Edmonton
Rosanne Fortier
It pays to care about the world around
us! Nick Chrapko, Dwayne Hlady and
Ruby Kassian were invited by MLA
Jessica Littlewood’s office to represent
Vegreville and area to attend The
International Day of Older Persons
Seniors Reception at the Edmonton
Federal Building in the Capital View
Reception Hall on October 4. They had
an inspiring day filled with awareness
and were treated to a tea, speeches,
multi-cultural entertainment and on the
way out; they were shown the Borealis
Display which showed immigrants coming to Canada, copies of old passports
and artifacts. This celebration is related
to Alberta Culture Days which is celebrated on September 30 and October 1
and it is combined with International
Day of Older Persons 2016 which is on
October 1 and with Multicultural Seniors
Day on October 4. The NDP Caucus
sponsored this reception in partnership
with Canadian Multicultural Education
Foundation (CMEF). CMEF promotes
multiculturalism in Canada by providing
a program that improve understanding
between people of different cultures and
that renews discussions about the direction of multiculturalism in Canada.
The reception opened with Mill Creek,
MLA, Denise Whollard welcoming
everyone. Wholland then said that older
persons are very
productive; they
contribute hundreds of volunteer
hours, and thousands of dollars to
support numerous
causes and charities. “They provide
thousands of hours
of unpaid childcare
to help bring up
the future generation. Many older
adults
have
remained active in
the workforce, contributing millions
of dollars. Many
MLA’s are also
seniors. Despite
this, ageism is a

common and troubling issue and it needs
to be brought into the light and dealt with
because the sakes are high and growing.
The world’s demographics say the population is aging and it’s vital that we support our aging population.” Whollard
said.
Treaty 6 Welcome was presented by Mr.
Lewis Cardinal where he said in the
indigenous culture and traditions, elders
and older people are very important for
the culture of their nations. “It’s important to honor them for their gifts and
work they have done to bring us to where
we are today. Treaty 6 and 8 are about
peace and friendship. We gather here
today in the area that was called the great
gathering place where nations for thousands upon thousands of years, gathered,
traded, celebrated and did ceremonies.
Canada means to make pure, clean and
sacred. Let’s carry those good messages
and walk as brothers and sisters into the
future.” Cardinal said.
Honorable Minister Lori Sigurdson
went forth to say that today they are celebrating the first Alberta Multicultural
Senior Day. “A few days ago, we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the
International Day of Older Persons. This
day recognizes the important contributions of older people to our world. Thank
you so much for all you do. It’s so important to recognize multicultural seniors
through special events like today. I want
to thank CMEF for its vision to create
this special day to honor multicultural
seniors.” Sigurdson said
Following this, there was a performance
by SAGE Line Dancers.
Then the reception continued with
remarks from CMEF President Earl
Choldin.
MLA Denise Woollard issued a closing
remark.
Nick Chrapko and Dwayue Hlady
speak about the experience
“I believe we were chosen to participate
in this because we are involved in different organizations in town and we have
good exposure and take information
there and bring information back. Also,
Ruby socializes with multi-cultural people and she is very concerned about
seniors.” Nick said.
“At this event, we met many Government
honorable members. It was a good experience that bridged contacts with a gentleman, Earl Choldin, who is the President
of Canadian Multicultural Education
Foundation (CMEF) and when we told
him, we were from Vegreville, he asked
us if we would consider being part of this
organization and bring representatives to
the table from and for the Vegreville
area. It is a form on racial discrimination,
bias and ageism.” Dwayne said.
“We learned that the government is
quite aware that people are prejudice
against older people. We also discovered
that people still discriminate against
people with different ethnic backgrounds.
There were quite a bit of talk about Truth
and Reconciliation of indigenous people.
Then we discovered that multiculturalism is very important and is still being
discussed because there has to be some
changes in it to eliminate old prejudices.”
Nick said.

Lois Gregory’s great honor
Rosanne Fortier
Sixty-five years of fellowship and service with
perfect attendance for 50 years to a service club
is a real feat! Many Royal Purple Ladies who
belong to Royal Purple Lodge No. 125 celebrated Lois Gregory’s 65 years of membership on
September 30 at Elks Hall.
Shirley Rattray, Honored Royal Lady said it
was her honor to be here on this special occasion for their Past Honored Royal Purple Lady,
Lois Gregory.
“Lois was born in Vegreville on March 9, 1926
where she was the second child of six and the
eldest daughter of the Late George and Edna
Ziegler. Lois attended Park Grove School,
Vermilion School (Ryan) and Vegreville High
School. She supervised classes at Park Grove
for one year during a teacher’s shortage. In
1941 during World War II when there was a
shortage of farm workers, she operated one of
two binders which her father hooked behind
the tractor. She also played defense for the
Vegreville High School Hockey Team. Lois
was a clerk at the Vegreville Co-op and taught
career at Park Grove and worked for five years
at the local SEARs catalogue outlet store.
“On November 9, 1946, Lois married Robert
Gregory and had five children and she now has
grandchildren and great grandchildren.”
Rattray said.

Mental health affects everyone’s lives. On October 5, professionals and volunteers from Vegreville Community Mental Health and Addictions Services were
braving the cold at Vegreville and District Co-op, No Frills and WalMart to
offer everyone a free cookie and information about Mental Health. A fundraising hot-dog barbeque was also at this event where all proceeds will be forwarded to Vegreville Independent Living Support (ILS) and Life Opportunities
Program (LOP). ATCO Electric supported this event.
Mental Health Awareness Week for reducing stigma is from October 2-8, 2016.
The Canadian Mental Health Association noted that mental health matters and
if, you are always tired, often sad, easily angry, indulge in overeating, lack an
appetite, feel overwhelmed, experience changes in sleeping patterns, or notice a
change in your thinking, you need to see a doctor, take all prescribed medications, eat healthy foods/snacks throughout the day, drink water or juice, surround
yourself with positive people, know that you are Not ‘crazy’, know that you are not
alone. Children should talk to someone, laugh and have fun, be active, and eat
well. To manage depression, they should talk about their feelings and emotions,
take time to do stuff they enjoy, remember that some days are better than others
and spend 15 minutes every day in the sun. The Mental Health Help Line is 1877-303-2642 or for Vegreville Mental Health Services, phone-780-632-2714.
Some tips for adults managing anxiety are learning what triggers your anxiety,
take deep breaths, accept what you cannot control, do your best but don’t expect
perfection, talk to someone. If depressed, stay connected, get moving, challenge
negative thinking and decrease or stop using alcohol or drugs.

dwarves. My stories are about characters living normal lives but they are
put in situations where they are asked
to look inside themselves for the
answers to their problems.
“My first book is about alchemy and
the characters lose some people who
they care for very dearly but as one
door closes for them another one opens
and the love that they had for the person that they lost remains and in a way
takes another form as new people in
their lives.
“The second story is about valuing
children and understanding that you
are the future. Adults are only borrowing it from you. Throughout the
story, the children are respected and
seen as equals and at times need guidance from adults and other characters
and yet at other points, it is the adults
who need the help and guidance.
Another lesson I talk about is to trust
yourself and that you know what is
best for you.
“The third story talks about something that is mentioned in all the religions of the world, it is selfishness and
all the forms it takes. There are seven
ways of life that are not helpful in
evolving spiritually and in the third
story, I talk about these and offer solutions or better ways of living.
“The focus of my series is to help
people find inner peace in their lives
and to gain tools of self-awareness, and
to understand that we are all spirits
having a human experience and are
all a drop of water in the same ocean.
What you do to another, you do to
yourself.” Joseph explained.
“Creativity is so important, it is what
makes mankind grow and become
more than it is now. It is God working
through your uniqueness, your passion. For me, it was writing 1000 plus
words every morning as soon as I got
up. I found my passion and I was
driven to do it as often as I could, and
this is what came out of it. A goal realized and another one on the way by
the end of this year.
“Once the book was written and
edited, I formatted it, designed a cover
and looked into self-publishing through
Createspace. Getting the book into
print, although was a lot of work, it
was worth every hour and everyday
and I encourage any of you who enjoy
writing and who feel they have something to say to have the patience and
perseverance to stay the course, steady
as she goes as you write little by little.
Baby steps are the way and be kind to
yourself. People will come and go in
your life, but you will always have
yourself, so be your own best friend.”
Following this, the students asked
Joseph what it was like to write his first
novel. He said he was 17 years-old
when he wrote it and it was a way to
create another reality for himself
because he was very introverted as a
child. At the time, he intended it to be
an autobiography but in the last few
years, he finished it as a fiction novel.
A teacher asked if he edited the
book himself. Joe said he had family
and friends look it over but he worked
as an editor before and he edited the
book. “There are books on how to
self-edit. It’s challenging to edit
one’s own work because you are so
attached to it but through an outsider’s perceptive, they present how to
edit a book yourself and the troublesome areas that people encounter.”
Joseph also explained that when he
writes a book, he gets out of his own
way and you become a channel for
the information to come through.
Musicians have done this and people
OCTOBER 12, 2016
who have created something that
lasted for mankind. This seems to be
purest way to create and it’s God or
the Spirit working through you.”
Joseph then gave a book reading
from his second novel, The Doors of
Dawn. He read the first chapter,
Shall we go into the forest and when
he finished, he asked the students if
they wanted him to read further and
they all said, yes! So, Joseph read
the second chapter, The drifter in
the dream.

out to volunteer. “I have the opportunity to have meetings every three months
with the Managers from Vegreville and all over Northern Alberta. We try to get
into the smaller communities that we serve and take advantage of volunteer
opportunities at drop-in centers, shelters, senior complexes, and food banks. We
have 25 people that we split into three groups; some will help at Pot O’Gold
where they sort through the clothing and miscellaneous items, and others will
help and call-out the BINGO at Heritage House and Vegreville Manor. We are

and businesses; the local hotels, caterers, restaurants and stores.” Todd Linnen,
