Bruderheim makes top 16 Canadian communities in Kraft Hockeyville contest Michelle Pinon Editor

A last minute decision to enter the Kraft Hockeyville contest by Bruderheim resident Amber Tanner has already earned the community $25,000 for arena upgrades.

“I applied three days before the contest was over!” says Tanner, who is elated by the good fortune that has come her way. “I didn’t think that we had any chance of winning, with only three days to pull together support, but we made it.”

Now the Town of Bruderheim is one of 16 municipalities throughout Canada, moving on to the online voting phase of the contest. The communities that survive the first round of voting, will move the next round of voting, and then be whittled down to four entries, two in the west and two in the east.

“Bruderheim has as good a shot at this as any,” said Mayor Karl Hauch, who admits he was “somewhat skeptical” of the town’s chances when Tanner first told him she was applying for the contest.

“But I supported the application with photos, video and information to round out our application.”

Now, Hauch is a believer and has been garnering great support from other elected officials via social media, including: Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske, Fort Saskatchewan Mayor Gale Katchur and Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson.

Hauch is also grateful for the support from

Mayor Karl Hauch council colleagues, fellow residents, friends, and neighbours throughout the area. “With this competition to get to this stage, was no minor miracle! Hats off to Amber and Bruderheim Minor Sports Association for all their hard work,” added Hauch.

“Our arena is facing potentially very expensive repairs, so this opportunity for our arena would be a God send,” said Hauch. “For a small community it is

difficult to meet all of our needs. Companies supporting communites thr events such as the Kraft Hockeyville are to be commended. Kraft has to be congratulated for having this competition. It has certainly excited our community.”

Tanner says she first heard about the contest from her husband. “He lived in Terrace, BC, and we went to visit there a week after they won! We looked around the city and the arena they just renovated.”

Over the past few days, Tanner and her friend Shelly Piliszanski have been walking door to door handing out support letters. They have handed out around 400 letters to date, and will also be getting Wayne Olechow to help out as well.

Tanner says the arena’s ice plant is “on it’s last legs,” and will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace. “I want the money to go towards the ice plant. We need a new one, which is approximately $400,000 and without an ice plant, we won’t have an arena.”

The announcement for the second round will be made on March 15 during CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada.

Mundare crime spree ends with an arrest A crime spree in the Town of Mundare ended early Wednesday morning with the arrest of a 17-year-old youth.

Police officers arrested a young male offender as they were searching in the area of 51 Avenue.

It was shortly after 6 a.m. Wednesday morning when Vegreville RCMP were called to Mundare by a resident who nearly had his truck stolen.

According to RCMP, “The vehicle owner left his truck unlocked and running while he went back in his house near 52 Avenue and 52 Street to grab his cigarettes. When he came back out he could hear his truck revving loudly, tires spinning and gears shifting, but the truck only moved a few feet. The owner approached the truck to see a 17-year-old male from Mundare attempting to drive the truck.

The youth appeared to be high on drugs and unable to operate the truck properly. As the owner tried to pull the youth out of the truck the youth yelled to let go or he would stab the owner. The owner pulled the youth out who walked away from the scene.”

Only moments later, RCMP received a second call from a 74-year-old female living near 53 Avenue and 52 Street who said she woke up to see a male rummaging through items in her house.

“When she screamed, the suspect grabbed the victim’s cellphone and purse and ran out of the home.”

It was then that Police Dog Services was called in to assist in the search for the suspect while other officers patrolled the area. “A male matching the description given in the attempted robbery of the truck was seen walking westbound on 53 Avenue when officers approached him, he ran.

The suspect ran south through numerous yards to try and evade police, but was caught by the two officers who out ran him on 51 Avenue.

RCMP went on to state, “The 17-year-old male was identified and confirmed to be the suspect in the earlier

attempted robbery of the truck. A search of the male’s pockets upon arrest revealed property taken from the elderly lady’s home, a knife, and a small amount of methamphetamine and other drug paraphernalia. The youth admitted to using methamphetamine only two hours earlier that morning and was displaying symptoms of drug impairment.”

At the time of his arrest, the youth had three different outstanding arrest warrants for other break and enters as well as vehicle thefts in the Mundare area. The youth was also on proba-

tion for a previous break and enter and possessing stolen property in Camrose in 2012. The youth was known by both victims.

The previous afternoon, there was an attempted robbery from an elderly male in a house, but RCMP do not know if it was the same youth who was involved in that matter. “That robbery is still under investigation.”

The youth remains in custody, and is facing 23 charges. He will make his first appearance in Vegreville Youth Court later this month. The accused cannot be named under the Youth

Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus couldn’t

Town of Bruderheim ready to turn out the lights for the Energy Challenge Bright idea could earn up to $2,500 in lighting upgrades for municipality Michelle Pinon Editor

The Town of Bruderheim is hoping residents and businesses are up to the challenge.

The Energy Your Way Challenge - that is.

The event will be held in conjunction with Earth Hour on March 29.

Residents and businesses will be asked to turn off all non-essential appliances, lights and electronics between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. that evening.

Bruderheim is one of 11 communities throughout Alberta participating in Fortis Alberta’s first

ever Energy Your Way Earth Hour Challenge.

Earth Hour is an annual global event that encourages people to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics to conserve power and demonstrate support of environmental efforts.

“The winner of the challenge will be using their grant money, ($2,500) towards energy efficient upgrades in their community,” says Jennifer Yip, program specialist with FortisAlberta. “Only one grant is available and will be awarded to the community with the highest energy savings per capita during Earth

Hour.”

Yip says it will be up to each of the participants to get creative and encourage their residents and businesses to save energy during Earth Hour. “There are many things that can be done to be more energy efficient and save electricity.

Small efforts can add up to huge changes,” adds Yip. Elaine Milliken agrees w h o l e h e a r t e d l y.

Milliken, the town’s legislative services director and development officer, says, “Each small thing that we do as an individual can have a huge cumulative effect.”

Milliken added that,

“It is exciting to be a part of something like this and to think that by turning off a few lights for an hour, we can not only contribute to environmental health, we also have a chance to turn that into a permanent saving by having energy efficient lighting in the arena. A win win for everyone!”

Environmental stewardship is one of town council’s priorities, points out Milliken, and “By entering challenges such as this, we keep that priority focused and provide our residents with additional options for reducing detrimental environmental impacts.”

Yip says the idea for the challenge came as a result of brainstorming efforts. “FortisAlberta was looking for a new way to assist communities in its service territory in conserving energy and encouraging energy efficient habits.”

Yip went on to say, “An underlying optimism for the Energy

Your Way program is the belief that the education and tools provided in the program will aid in changing consumer behavior so that energy efficiency and conservation becomes a mainstay in people’s everyday lives.”

The winner will be announced on April 7.

Town of Lamont to promote recycling Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of Lamont town council are hoping by posting a reminder notice on residents upcoming water bill will prompt more residents to recycle.

According to statistics supplied to the town from its contractor Standstone, the amount of recyclables decreased by 2,905 kilograms in 2012/13, while the amount of garbage increased by 33,420 kilograms in 2012/13.

Councillor Steve Sharun thought that a presentation from Standstone would be beneficial, and stated so during the Feb. 25 council meeting. Coun. Gail Hrehorets said there is a pamphlet available at the town office to residents as well as a list of recyclables on the town’s website.

Under the town’s recycling program, residents can cycle plastics, cardboard, paper, metal and

glass. Some of the items include: beverage bottles, plastic bags, newspaper, magazines, writing and computer paper as well as tin and aluminum cans, glass jars and bottles.

Recyclable items as well as tips are outlined in the notice. The notice states, “Recently, our tonnage in our landfill

has increased dramatically. Up until now we have been proud of the high volume of recycled material from our town.

We would like to continue to do our part to keep materials out of our landfill and protect our environment. We strongly encourage all residents to do what they can to recycle.”

Opinion Every penny counts It was a clear glass jar with a bright canary yellow lid on the top with a hole cut out in the middle to drop the coins thru.

I use to gaze at the jar longingly. It looked like there was so much money in there, and I dream’t about what I could buy with those pennies. But no matter how much I yearned for those coins, I could not bring myself to remove any of them.

I knew stealing was wrong, and if I helped myself to any of them, that was bad. So I would shut the door, and the feelings of temptation and desire would subside.

This penny jar came to mind after I listened to recent media reports of Premier Alison Redford’s decision to take her daughter and her friends on trips with her while on government business.

Apparently Redford had no qualms about making those personal decisions on the public’s dime. It wasn’t until after she got caught with her hand in taxpayer’s coffers that she agreed to pay back some of the travel expenses.

To mask her wrongdoing, Redford decided to request an inquiry with the auditor general’s department with the aim to develop a policy regarding travel expenses. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and the fact she didn’t make the right decision in the first place angers me.

I would compare it to myself stealing those pennies from my mom’s penny jar, admitting to the lie only when discovered by someone else, returning only some of the pennies, and then try to gloss things over so I would be seen in a better light.

As for Redford trying to use her lofty and important position, and qualifying the need for quality family time, was not credible; let alone justifiable. There is no defense for stealing. Stealing is stealing. Whether it is a couple of pennies or thousands of dollars is irrelevant.

So the question is: Is the fundamental truth enough to send Redford and fellow Tories packing in the next election? That will be up to you.

Public disclosure on travel expenses a win for taxpayers, says Liberal critic Dear editor, Taxpayers just scored a win for financial transparency: Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has raised the bar by securing support from all parties for new measures to uphold Canadians’ right to know how their money is being spent.

From now on, all Members of Parliament’s travel and hospitality expenses will be publicly disclosed on the Parliamentary website.

It’s an important step to restore Canadians’ faith in politics and politicians after it was seriously shaken last spring.

And it happened because Justin didn’t just

Kerry Anderson Publisher

talk the talk, he did something about it—and now the other parties have followed suit.

Back in June, Canadians were alarmed by expense abuses of Conservative Senators Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau, and a secret $90,000 payment by the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff to cover it up. Justin proposed a plan to open up Parliament that would have MPs proactively disclose their travel and hospitality expenses regularly online.

But when Justin rose in the House of Commons to seek consent for the proposals, the NDP

Michelle Pinon Editor

blocked him.

So he decided to go it alone, and Liberal MPs began posting their travel and hospitality expenses online. Then last fall the Conservative started posting their MPs’ expenses as well.

Nine months later Liberals have secured support from the entire House of Commons to take this to the next level.

Now the non-partisan professional administrative staff of the House Commons will create a uniform, standardized system that puts the expenses of all MPs together in one spot for anyone to see.

It’s an important first

step to reversing the corrosive culture of secrecy and intimidation that has grown under Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Justin is committed to opening up government and restoring Canadians’ trust in our democracy.

And he’s just getting started.

Yours sincerely, SCOTT SIMMS, MP Bonavista—Gander— Grand Falls—Windsor Liberal Party Democratic Reform Critic

Breakfast For Learning donations greatly appreciated

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Elke Carr, FCSS Director (far left), recently presented a $2,500 cheque to Andrew School students and staff for the Breakfast For Learning program.

Students at Andrew School can count on a light breakfast to start their day each and every day, and Principal Daniel Verhoeff would like to personally say thank you to the organizations that make the Breakfast For Learning (BFL) program possible.

Verhoeff said he wanted to extended his gratitude to the local organizations who have made the program a success over the past seven years.

Those organizations include: Andrew Family and Community Support Services, Andrew Lions Club, Orthodox Parishes Social Club, Vegreville No Frills, and the BFL grant program. He also wanted to thank Betty Farris who prepares breakfast for the students.

Toast, yogurt, cold cuts, milk, fruit, bagels, jams, pancakes, Ukrainian sausage and occasionally fried perogies are served.

“Our BFL program makes sure that students who arrive at our school are heading off to class with some nutrients in their bodies so they are able to focus and learn.

Over 25 children make use of this resource everyday,” said Verhoeff.

“The numbers have been steadily increasing over the years...The idea of the program is to help those students who are truly in need, but we also need to protect their dignity as well by not ‘sin-

gling them out’ as ones who can’t afford breakfast.

Verhoeff said it costs approximately $300 a month to operate the program, and that doesn’t include the cost of appliances, like fridges, toasters, cooking equipment which has to be purchased.

Donations to the program can be made at the office at Andrew School.

Receipts are issued through the office and are tax deductible, added

From Where I Sit: Witches Aren’t Bad

By Hazel Anaka Are you as scandalized by the cover price of magazines as I am? Oh, sure, intellectually I get it. Printing and postage costs are sky-high when you compare them to putting out digital editions of the same or enhanced product.

Subscriber numbers are probably down. But surely ad revenue has kept pace.

Whatever. The backstory or business case doesn’t really concern

me. I’ll only buy magazines from the stand at Wal-Mart where they have a three for ten dollars deal running on most titles. I have saved an incredible amount of money doing that and gotten some of those ‘one of’ mags I don’t regularly read.

Sometimes it’s hard to find three worth buying though. Because, you see, I beat the cover price blues by subscribing.

The subscription deal is often fifty or more percent off the cover price.

Often there is a free gift thrown in. I still cannot believe that I can wear the two watches I’ve scored that way.

Normally I’m paying through the nose for a pure stainless steel designer watch. Yet these two freebies don’t give me a rash. They may not be my first choice stylewise because they are circular in shape. I prefer square or rectilinear but

hey, free is free.

I have to admit I have so many magazines coming into the house I can’t keep up reading them.

There is a foot high pile on the side table near my living room chair and another bunch in the bedroom. I read through them if the content grabs me or just absorb the visuals if the text is too much—-too pretentious, too of-the-moment hip or too much like I’ve already seen. And that can be true whether it’s a design magazine or a fashion one.

It seems that my tastes or the value I place on content is changing. I’ve actually torn out recipes.

Not quite sure why.

Saved those illustrated exercise routines that are guaranteed to whip me into shape.

Right.

Increasingly I seem to be clipping pieces on health or financial planning.

Sometimes I just jot down a product name or

a domain name for more information. Sometimes I can even find the scrap of paper again to actually do it. Some publications are so superfluous to my real life on a farm near Andrew that there isn’t a single take-away from an issue.

If the magazine is still intact I rip off my address label and take it to the nail salon so others can enjoy it. Goodness knows I’ve spent many a happy hour there reading and being pampered.

The next batch should go to the walk in clinic. The wait is longer, there is no pampering happening and the reading material is abysmal.

Magazines can educate and inspire or if you let them they can demoralize and defeat you.

They’re pretty cheap entertainment if you do it right and the watches aren’t bad from where I sit.

Verhoeff.

“This program is such a vital part of some of our students success.

Not only does it allow us to support student learning, it builds community and creates a place for all students to assemble and be a part of our school community before they start off their day,” Verhoeff pointed out.

“The importance of families sitting down and eating meals together can’t be taken lightly.

Unfortunately, some of our students don’t have that stability in their own homes, but can count on a light breakfast to start their day with a warm smile and conversation from staff and other students.

HAYING IN THE 30’S Thank you for your generous support, it is very much appeciated!

As well a Special Thank You to John Kapicki !

Policing priorities ranked

by Lamont town council Michelle Pinon Editor

Members of Lamont town council recently rated their priorities in terms of policing.

The rankings came at the request of Staff Sgt. Craig O’Neill, head of the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment.

“Yearly, Fort Saskatchewan RCMP sets priorities as a part of our Annual Performance Plan (APP). These priorities will form the detachment’s focus for policy in 2014,” stated O’Neill.

The top priority identified by council members was crime prevention, with the focus on youth, senior and business.

Police and community relations ranked second while traffic safety (enforcement and education) placed third.

In the survey, Staff Sgt. O’Neil stated that the initiatives and activities are planned and tracked to achieve a measure of success in each priority

area. “The finalized three police priorities for 2014 and follow up progress reports will be shared with council and the community quarterly,” added O’Neill.

Councillors were also given the leeway to include personal comments, concerns and observations in their surveys.

Steve Sharun made it a point to address the issue of recreation at Lamont town council’s Feb. 25 meeting.

Coun. Sharun had the item of recreation coordinator added to the agenda in the hopes of recreating the position that had been in place several years ago.

“We have a lot of good recreational facilities, but I believe they are under utilized.” Sharun said the town needs a person to organize events and programs in order to make full use of existing facilities.

He added that having someone with professional education and expertise would be able to access information, apply for grants, as well as connect with and assist community groups in Lamont and surrounding area.

“I agree in concept,” stated Coun.

Doug Pewarchuk. He said one possible scenario would be to have a post secondary student work on some background documentation before commiting to a full-time position.

“Administration and public works would need to talk about it first,” said coun. Gail Hrehorets.

What’s on

Coun. Dave Taylor said there are recreation directors in larger centres, and perhaps there could be some programming opportunities with other municipalities as well.

“I think the idea deserves merit,” stated Mayor Bill Skinner.

Coun. Debra Dunsmore asked, “Is this something the parks and recreation committee could look into?

Coun. Sharun replied, “Yes, I think that’d be a good idea.”

Coun. Hrehorets concurred, and the consensus was to have the parks and recreation committee report back to council at a later date.

Budget helps secure Alberta’s economic future Province has made great strides in securing economic future - Fenske “sinking debt” type of fund to cover the cost of the principle when it comes due.

Our three year capital plan includes $5 billion over the next 3 years to build, expand and maintain our provincial highways. People have told us we need more schools, healthcare facilities and better roads for Albertans who live here today let alone for our growing population.

SUBMITTED COLUMN The 2014-15 Alberta budget reflects an operation surplus of $2.6 million. If we were to calculate and report our finances the way the Federal Government would by adding up the revenues, savings and assets and taking out the expenses and debt our consolidated surplus would be $1.1 billion!

We have kept spending under inflation plus growth. Our Contingency Account will reach $5 billion in this budget. Our ability to deal with challenges, be they floods, fires or an unexpected drop in royalty revenues depends on this account.

In addition, scholarships in the trades, agriculture and food production opportunities and social innovation will be supported through new endowment funds. We are preparing for the future - a future that will see 5 million people call Alberta home within 10 years.

These new Albertans Fort will need schools, health facilities, and roads and we will be borrowing for these types of capital projects. Alberta enjoys a AAA credit rating which means we can borrow at about 3.5%.

Rural Economic Development Action Plan to consult with community stakeholders The Government of Alberta will examine new ways to leverage current programs and services for continued growth and a strong rural economy.

An MLA task force will help engage key community stakeholders as part of the creation of a Rural Economic Development Action Plan – a blueprint for future rural sustainability and success.

According to a Conference Board of Canada report on Alberta Rural Communities, the Alberta economy is expected to advance solidly from 2013 to 2035, expanding at a compound average annual rate of 2.4 per cent.

Not surprisingly, the province’s energy sector will be a driving force.

And as a result, another construction boom is expected over the near term.

As far as the future of Rural Alberta, the Conference Board’s longterm forecast for Alberta predicts that the mining and oil and gas extraction sector will post solid if not spectacular output growth.

The decent outlook for mining and oil and gas extraction, bodes well for rural Alberta’s economic outlook.

At the same time, activity in rural Alberta’ second largest industry— agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting—is expected to remain healthy over the next 22 years, with output growth forecast to reach 1.9 per cent per year for the province as a whole.

“With an economic footprint estimated at more than $77 billion each year, rural Alberta is an important economic driver and a critical component of the Building Alberta Plan.

“Through the Action Plan, we will build on the success of our rural communities by embracing new ideas, creating linkages between existing resources and organizations, increasing Alberta’s rural economic development infrastructure capacity, and ultimately growing our provincial economy,“ says Verlyn Olson, Minister, Agriculture and Rural Development Targeted stakeholder roundtable discussions will be held in March and April, with plans to meet with over 500 distinct

groups to discuss priorities, identify opportunities for growth and job creation, and look for ways to better coordinate current programs and services to enhance rural economic development.

Discussion will focus on five key themes: Industry and business development; Financial and capital access; Workforce development; Regional coordination;

and Rural economic infrastructure capacity.

“The Rural Economic Development Action Plan will help enhance economic growth in rural Alberta by working together with stakeholders to build a strong rural economy that benefits all Albertans.

“With smart planning and effective programs and services, we can help our rural communities

become even more vibrant,” says Hector Goudreau, MLA for Dunvegan-Central Peace-Notley, Chair of Rural Caucus and MLA task force member.

The task force will also include Jacquie Fenske, MLA for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville; Ken Lemke, MLA for Stony Plain; and Bridget Pastoor, MLA for Lethbridge-East.

When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it. While some people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s may think it’s too early to preplan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren’t leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to:

For the maximum performance and life of your furnace, always insist on using Central Boiler authorized system parts and accessories.
