Andrew’s Garlic Festival jam packed with events Michelle Pinon Editor
Unique and distinctive, the Andrew Garlic Festival is one of a kind and distinguishes itself from any other celebration. The 15th annual edition promises to be memorable, and organizers are more than ready to welcome more than 1,000 visitors which are expected to descend on the Village of Andrew on Oct. 12. Carri Hrehorets and Terry Levicki are two of the volunteer organizers with the Andrew Agricultural Society, and are excited to share news of the event and activities that will go from morning to night in the vibrant community. The Andrew Lions Club will be kicking off the festival by cooking and serving up their delicious potato pancakes during breakfast at the club which is located on main street. Levicki is especially excited to have a Vegreville carpenter and his intricate handcrafted miniature farm machinery display. The other new feature in the festival will be the photo contest for shutterbugs of all ages. So dig out your cameras and snap away,
says Hrehorets. The categories include: people, nature, community or garlic. Not only will children be able to enjoy a scavenger hunt, but adults too, as they can enter a team for the Amazing Garlic Race. This is the second year the festival has featured this fun filled activity, and Hrehortets is looking forward to seeing some of the challenges teams will be going through that afternoon. Another great event is the "Minute to win it" garlic peeling contest. If you love creative endeavours then the animal vegetable art contest will be right up your alley. Participants are invited to learn more about garlic from guest speakers who will be offering their wealth of information on growing garlic, its many varieties and excellent health benefits. A total of 75 vendors will be showcasing their goods during the farmer's market in the curling rink. The bench show will be a sight to behold, and there will be prizes for the largest onion head, garlic head, three head garlic display, elephant garlic, fall theme arrangement, scarecrow and novelty
categories. If participants want a break from shopping, there will be plenty of local entertainment to enjoy in the main hall all day. The beer gardens, also located in the main hall will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Kids won't have the chance to get bored with the scavenger hunt, colouring contest, glitter tattoos, balloon animals, hayrides, and dance party. Folks will also have the opportunity to taste some of Andrew's famous perogies during lunch at the Rainbow Club Seniors Centre and savour the flavours of the fabulous garlic feast during the evening banquet. Advance tickets are required for the banquet. There will be an array of items at the silent auction to bid on, and then participants are free to dance the night away to the familiar and famous sounds of The Emeralds. With so much to see and do, it will definitely be a challenge to fit everything in, but with the right kind of encouragement and proper nutrition, it will all be attainable as well as oodles of fun.

Two Hills RCMP Intercept drugs Two Hills RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision on Highway 45, East of Two Hills on Sept. 11. With the assistance of the RCMP traffic analyst, they remained on scene for the better part of the afternoon, to determine the cause of the incident. While conducting the investigation, RCMP Officers located approximately 8.7 ounces of marihuana with an approximate street value of $2,000.00 along with anabolic steroids and other paraphernalia. The male driver was subsequently arrested for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, possession of a controlled substance for the purposes of trafficking, breach of conditions and possession of a controlled substance over 30
grams. It is believed that the marihuana located was destined for communities in the Eastern and
Central Alberta area. RCMP Officers believe that the marihuana could have been distributed to over 240 people.

Heartland success story rolling into Lamont County Over $21 billion invested in the industrial heartland and more projects planned for Alberta’s economic hub
PHOTO COURTESY OF JAZMINE INKSTER
Along with industrial growth comes headaches, such as increased traffic conjestion and wait times for motorists along the major transportation corridors, including Secondary Highway 15. This photograph was taken during a 20 minute delay at the intersection of Secondary Highway 831 and Secondary Highway 15 Tuesday, Sept. 10. The Fort Saskatchewan bridge crossing as well as the interchange of Highways 15, 36 and 825 also need to be addressed in the near future. Michelle Pinon Editor
Conditions are ripe for investors in Alberta's Industrial Heartland (AIH), and executive director Neil Shelly expects there will be more interest in the sizable parcels of land available in Lamont County. "In the last six to eight months there has been more focus in Lamont County," states Shelly with many more inquiries forthcoming from both Canadian and foreign investors. "We're just starting to see the tip of the iceberg now." With MEG Energy, Canexus, and Graymont investing millions into new projects and expansion plans; Shelly says things definitely look very bright on the horizon. Shelly adds that more land is being gobbled up and if the county nets a couple of mega projects there will have to be more twinning along Highway 15. Transportation is crucial to the future success of AIH, and Shelly points out that another double lane bridge over the North Saskatchewan River and upgrades at the interchange of Highway 15, Highway 37 and Secondary Highway 825 will be necessary. Preliminary work has already begun on the site of the Sturgeon Refinery (across from Agrium) and Shelly says that between three to four thousand construction workers will be working there by next spring. In fact, Premier Alison Redford, Ian MacGregor, chairman of the North
West Upgrading (NWU), and Dough Bertsch, vice president of regulatory and stakeholder affairs for North West Redwater (NWR), broke ground there last Friday, Sept. 20. Redford said the refinery is the first to be built in Canada in almost 30 years and will play an important part in the value added sector of the oil and gas industry. NWR has a 30 year processing agreement for 100 per cent of its phase one feedstock capacity. The Alberta Petroleum Marketing Corporation, an agent of the Province of Alberta, will supply 75 per cent of the feedstock volume and Canadian Natural will supply the balance of the feedstock volume. According to the partners, the project represents the first of three phases of 50,000 barrels per day, accumulating to a 150,000 barrels per day plan to convert bitumen to high value products, primarily ultra-low sulphur diesel for local and export markets. Besides promoting and networking with companies at home and abroad, Shelly says they have had eight different companies tour the area in the past nine months. "Four of those companies
have been back multiple times," notes Shelly. Right now, he along with his colleagues are getting more specifics and will be conducting analysis and formulating business plans in the next couple of months. Bitumen is the driving force, and Shelly expects daily production in the oilsands to double within the next 10 years. There will be more pipelines and terminals which Shelly says will cause more development in the area. "The indicators are good." Shelly says AIH can prove its competitiveness in the world market, and is excited about the prospects in the future. Transportation is critical to the economy and energy system, and Shelly says Infrastructure Minister Ric McIver "recognizes the Heartland is a special region" and will be working to ensure there will be proper infrastructure for the movement of goods. Transportation studies were conducted by AIH in 2011 and the Capital Region Board in 2012. Those studies will act as a template for modernization of the transporation network in the entire region, including the

heartland. Back in June, several associations met with the minister, and as a result a review of the existing transportation network is underway. Shelly and his counterparts are currently working on a new infrastructure strategy. "We're hoping to get a report to the government in a couple of months," he added. "Things are looking positive and bright for the Heartland."

All that squawking! Here's your quote of the week: "Everyone's complaining; but no one is saying anything." That quote was taken from local school trustee Colleen Lopushinksy during a recent parent council meeting. Lopushinsky's point being that if you want your voice to be heard then put your words in writing and send a letter. She was definitely echoing the same sentiments I've been expressing on a regular basis since I began as editor at The Lamont Leader nearly two years ago. After reading her quote, I immediately had a vision of a magpie. My mom used to hate magpies and all the squawking they did. In fact, it prompted me to look up magpie in the dictionary which defined magpie as: A long tailed crow with boldly marked plumage and a raucous voice. Magpie can also be used to refer to a person who collects things of little use or value or who chatters with no particular purpose, reason or foundation. Another vision came into my head; that of a person screeching, shrieking and hooting for the sake of only complaining, protesting and grumbling. I guess that's why after awhile people stop hearing and listening to the bellyaching of a blabbermouth. In my case, I am tired of all the chatter of certain bigmouths who have nothing better to do than run down other people in the community and criticize their actions. They condemn, lambaste and pick apart everything and everyone to the point of nausea. Now before I run to the bathroom to purge myself, I will leave our readers with one challenge:- sign your name on the dotted line and run for political office! Michelle Pinon

Struggle between idealists and realists continues In the 20th century, much of the divide in politics and policy was over how best to create jobs, incomes and keep people from starving - in other words, how to create opportunity as part of the good life. Those on the "left" argued for state intervention and often outright state ownership; those on the "right" pointed to open markets and other elements of capitalism as the superior route to avoiding poorer populations. The outcome of that titanic struggle is well-known; the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the implosion of the command-and-control Soviet Union two years later cratered support for the most extreme forms of state intervention. But that was then. These days, a policy divide often opens up in the struggle to convince large chunks of the public, especially in urban areas with little contact with rural life, not to kill off development. An example comes from folk singer Neil Young who recently ranted against Canada's oil sands. In a Washington D.C. speech, Young said that the northern Albertan oil sands city, Fort McMurray, "looks like Hiroshima." Young called the city
Kerry Anderson Publisher
"a wasteland" and asserted that "The Indians up there and the native peoples" were "sick and dying of cancer because of this [the oil sands]." The cancer scare claim originates in a 2006 accusation from Dr. John O'Connor. The Nova Scotia physician worked in Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, and alleged that the oil sands were causing an epidemic of cancer in the north. But after three other physicians complained to the College of Physicians and Surgeons about the O' Connor claim, the college investigated and in a leaked 2009 report about O'Connor said that "Dr. O'Connor made a number of inaccurate or untruthful claims with respect to the number of patients with confirmed cancers and the ages of patients dying from cancer." Furthermore, in 2010, the Royal Society of Canada Expert Panel summarized its findings that "There is currently no credible evidence of environmental contaminant exposures from oil sands developments reaching downstream communities at levels expected to cause elevated human cancer cases." Young's tirade reveals part of what drives opposition to the oil sands - an aesthetic dislike for

their visual appearance. Fort McMurray may not be scintillating but it's hardly a "wasteland." I've been there, as well as to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their atomic bomb museums. To compare a northern mining town to Hiroshima is cheap demagoguery and displays a profound ignorance about the atomic bomb's horrific effect upon the Japanese population in 1945. Such invidious comparisons should not be lightly made. Mining for oil is not pretty, but then neither are mines that extract the metals necessary for bike parts, or any industrial activity that requires disturbing the earth to extract some substance. That is, after all, real life. Natural gas heats our homes and oil helps transport food to market. Modern-day routine attempts to better the human condition should not be held hostage to idealistic artists who have a misplaced utopian vision about the aesthetic perfectibility of oilsoaked dirt.

Local parents hear first hand details regarding Bruderheim School boundary Michelle Pinon Editor
No sooner than students went back to class then parents were back to meetings. Both parent councils in Bruderheim School and Lamont High School (LHS) held their annual general meetings Sept. 17 and 18 respectively. Attendees also got to hear first hand about Elk Island Public School’s (EIPS) plans for the Bruderheim School Boundary Review. Karen Richardson, a consultant hired by EIPS was on hand at both meetings for a power point presentation outlining the perameters of the review. The purpose of the boundary review is to better utilize the school and surrounding EIPS schools and explore options for junior and senior high school designations for Bruderheim students. In fact there were a couple of parents who questioned why LHS was not the designated school for junior and

favoured.” EIPS will also be taking into consideration educational programming as well as student needs. The recommendations resulting from the review will be implemented next September, added Richardson. The criteria the board will be considering include: *Keeping communities and subdivisions together. *Length of bus rides times, number of buses, costs. *Use of major roads and highways as natural breaks where feasible. *Physical proximity to school. Richardson invited parents to ask questions and provide comments, and also said an online and paper survey would be available if they wanted to fill one out after the open house which are tentatively slated for Nov. 6 and 7 at Bruderheim School.

Bus parking and crosswalk under review Michelle Pinon Editor
Changes to bus parking and designated pedestrian crossings between Lamont Elementary and Lamont High were discussed during a recent parent council meeting. Local school trustee and board vice-chair Colleen Lopushinsky brought up the issue during her report to parent council on Sept. 18 at Lamont High School. Lopushinsky said the recent changes were made as a result of the Town of Lamont which made the request to Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS). “The town had been receiving complaints, and got in touch with Alberta Transportation to do an audit.” She also said she had spoken with Bill Skinner,
the Mayor of the Town of Lamont, regarding the changes. “The mayor said we can work together.” There had been some discussion regarding possible installation of a sidewalk leading into the parking lot. “Not that it’s going to happen, but that’s what is happening politically.” Lopushinsky added they would have to determine who owns the property. The issue of truck traffic was brought up by a parent. “What ever happened to rerouting traffic?” Lopushinsky said she didn’t know what was going to happen in respect to that. Lopushinsky also clarified the current changes were not initiated by EIPS. “Maybe they (Town of Lamont) should have kept the status quo?” quipped a

member of the audience. Another person asked: “Why can’t the department of highways put up flashing lights?” Lopushinksy thought that was because the crosswalk is located too close to the 4-way stop. Lopushinsky said she would also be discussing the issue with Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske in the near future. “I’m doing what I can from my side,” she assured. Lopushinsky also encouraged anyone with questions or concerns to put them in writing. She said she had only received three complaints regarding the issue. “For me to help you more you have to put it in writing.”

Great things happening at Lamont High School Michelle Pinon Editor
There's something to be said about being the new kid on the block. Everything is new and exciting and the atmosphere is charged with positive energy. One can sense those things about Sharon McLean, the new principal at Lamont High School. "I'm really happy to be here. The staff have been wonderful, and we hope to have a great school," said McLean, who has taught school for more than 25 years, and most recently served as principal at Andrew School for the past two years. Enrolment has increased
by 20 students to bring the total number up to 264 students. Joining her on the team this school year are: Jeffrey Laslo, Caroline Reynolds, Michel Blades, Ron Walker, Bryan Dussault, and Meagan Kelm. Laslo hails from Castor and was an avid athlete in school and is an avid sports fan today. He will be teaching junior high and coaching volleyball and basketball. A sports and fitness buff, Caroline Reynolds will be the new foods teacher. Both Michel Blades and Ron Walker will be joining the teaching staff at the Elk Island Youth Ranch. Bryan Dussault has a passion
for all things science and transferred from the Fort McMurray Public School District. Kelm will be teaching junior high and high school science, and has a keen interest in sports and coaching. McLean is also excited that Reynolds and her food science students will be providing hot lunch items at the school cafeteria this year as well. She is also pleased a lot of the teachers are assisting with coaching duties for the athletic teams and involved with the varied leadership activities. The school will also be focused on character education this year. Every month, students
will be studying a virtue, adds McLean. In October, the virtue will be courage. On Oct. 2 parents are invited to attend the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presentation at 9 a.m. On Nov. 4, Perry Cardinal will be speaking about respect, and the Remembrance Day Ceremony will be held on Nov. 8 at 10:30 a.m. McLean was very happy to have 40 people attend the first parent council meeting on Sept. 11, and invites them and more interested parents back to the next meeting on Oct. 9.

Kindergarten eligibility changes announced Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) is changing the date by which children must turn five in order to be eligible to enrol in Kindergarten. Beginning in the 2014/15 school year, a child must be five-years-old on or before December 31 of the given school year to be eligible to start Kindergarten. Currently, a child is eligible for enrolment into Kindergarten if he or she will turn five on or before March 1 of the given enrolment year. However, EIPS’ practice has been to encourage families to delay Kindergarten enrolment if their child is born between September and the end of February. The change to December 31 more closely aligns with EIPS’ philosophy, while still offering many families the option to choose. “Research demonstrates that children who begin school at an older age perform better at the start of school, have a significantly higher rate of literacy development, and show greater improvement over the course of their years of schooling,” notes Eileen Zimmerman, Associate Superintendent of Instructional Services. “This change to our Kindergarten entrance age cutoff will help us provide the best start possible for children just beginning their education.” The December 31 cut-off acts on local and provincial evidence that older Kindergarten students are less likely to face learning and social challenges in Kindergarten and in their subsequent educational carreers. The new entrance age reflects this kind of educational research, specifically in the area of literacy outcomes, and aligns with EIPSí beliefs and advice to parents. “Age span is one of the most challenging aspects for Kindergarten teachers because we have to teach to a wide variety of cognitive and social maturity levels. The change to December 31 decreases the potential age span in our classrooms by two months,” says Kim Sharp, Kindergarten teacher at Win Ferguson Elementary.

COMPLIMENTS OF
Area farmers are working around the clock to harvest what some are calling exceptional crops. Growing conditions have been almost ideal with plenty of rain followed by a long, dry stretch allowing the crops to mature. While farmers are hesitant to say just how good the yield will be until all of the crops are in the bin, all indications point to an outstanding year. Although the weather turned colder on Wednesday of last week with frost during the overnight into Thursday morning, the long range forecast which runs into the early days of October, calls for temperatures to stay in the mid to high teens during the day, falling to a low of 4 degrees C in the night. There is little mention of any rainfall. This beautiful harvest photo was taken Sept.12 west of Bruce.

Playing at the Czech Challenge Cup an experience of a lifetime for Forestburg boys Jamie Geddes CP Staff
David Milroy, age 16, and Tanner Jordan, age 15, both from Forestburg, were chosen to play hockey for the Canada Cowboys at the Czech Challenge Cup Hockey Tournament (CCCHT) in Prague this summer. Milroy's parents Alan and Josée, and Jordan's parents Ken and Corinne, accompanied them. Milroy and Jordan were scouted by Jon Nichols for the Canada Cowboys, which is organized by TopGuns.ca who promote this trip each year. The trip totalled fifteen days, and the last five were spent playing hockey at the CCCHT in Prague. The guys practiced with their teammates in Calgary for a week before departure and played on separate teams in Prague. Milroy, who plays centre in midget hockey in Forestburg, played wing in Europe while Jordan played goaltender in both countries. Both of the families went to Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia while the Milroys went to Hungary, and the Jordans saw Italy, because the boys were on separate teams. Jordan played an exhibition game in Italy and Slovakia and won both games. Jordan says this was one of the highlights of
the trip for him because the game against Slovakia was won in a shootout; Jordan was the defending goaltender who made the save. Jordan's team went on to win Silver in the CCCHT. Jordan says, "I met Roman Hamrlik. He was out for a skate, and we got to talk and shake hands; it was a huge moment for me.” Hamrlik has played with the Washington Capitals, New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, Edmonton Oilers, and Calgary Flames during his NHL career after leaving the Czech Republic. Milroy also played two exhibition games. One of his highlights, he says, “Was winning Bronze at the CCCHT and receiving the medal at the awards ceremony.” He also enjoyed getting his picture taken with the Poland team afterwards. Milroy and Jordan both mention there are differences in the hockey played in eastern Europe. Milroy says, “It was not as aggressive, it was more about the stick handling, passing the puck, technique, and clean play.” Jordan says, “Their players have played on the same teams, called club teams, from the age of three so they really know each other. They seem more relaxed when they play hockey.” David's mom commented on the conditions of the rinks the
boys played in Europe. She says, “Many times the fog was so thick at the arenas that you could just see heads and shoul-
ders moving on the ice because the rinks had no ventilation.” Leon Benoit, MP for Ve r m i l i o n - Ve g re v i l l e
sent Jordan 200 Canadian flag pins to distribute to the host teams and families. The kids often trade
items and mementos at these tournaments. The Canadian boys also took items like beanies with See CZECH HOCKEY P7

Ready for more fall adventures Jaimee Russnak Staff Reporter
As hunting season draws near, Kyle Newby, an avid hunter at 14 years old, recalls great memories of hunting seasons past. This past January, Newby was given the opportunity for a rare adventure when he was drawn to hunt buffalo in the High Level and Zama areas. Newby explains that 17,000 people applied for the hunting draw, and he was lucky enough to win, with a one in 50 chance, earning the chance for a once in a lifetime trip, as restrictions state once you are drawn you may not attempt to enter again. On Jan. 2 he and his dad, Lawrence, travelled to the area and attempted to track down the mighty animal, finally succeeding on Jan. 6,

Kyle Newby was one of the 50 winners of the hunting draw. hunting two buffalo near Zama Lake. Newby says the two buffalo they managed to shoot were the only ones spied on the trip and they believed them to be about six and half years old from their size. “It was lots of fun and I think my dad was pretty excited,” he says. According to Newby, he has been hunting for as long as he can remember as it is something of a family affair. He says he has learned about hunting from his

New Lotto 6/49 guarantees at least one ticket is a winner Leslie Cholowsky CP Staff
The Western Canada Lottery Foundation rolled out a new Lotto 6/49 format last week, one that guarantees a prize winner to at least one ticket holder. The lotto will continue to make the jackpot draws of six random numbers plus a bonus number, and tickets matching six, five, four, three, and now even two of those numbers are eligible for a prize. Successfully matching two numbers of the six will qualify ticket holders for a free play prize. A new feature, called
the guaranteed prize draw, will also now be made, but from entered numbers only. As each ticket is purchased, it is assigned a number, and the guaranteed prize draw will be made from those numbers. The jackpot prize draw will start at no less than $5,000,000, another change. Over the last 31 years, there have been more than 908 million winners across all of Canada.

Isolated light frost so far this Fall Albertans know that winter is coming and that autumn brings cooler temperatures and the threat of over-night frost, but so far this September, early widespread frosts have been all but absent from most of the agricultural areas of the province. “Early morning on September 14, light frosts were seen across the agricultural parts of the northern Peace Region, with a few stations recording temperatures just dipping below the 0 degree mark for only an hour or two,” says Ralph Wright, M. Sc., soil moisture specialist and Head of the Agrometeorology Applications and Modelling Section, with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “So far this year, most agricultural areas have been virtually free of frosts. “Heavier frosts have been recorded at higher elevations and across some areas of the mountains and foothills.” Towards the end of the first week in September, significant rains were recorded across the extreme southeast portions of the province; with some areas report-

ing in excess of 80 mm, additionally along the foothills, west and southwest of Calgary some stations reported in excess of 60 mm. “Over the next few days, cooler air will begin to move into the province, bringing upwards of 10 to 20 mm of precipitation to parts of the Peace Region,” says Wright. “Province wide; however, this cool air is not expected to bring widespread frosts to the agricultural areas.” Historically, on or before Sept. 15 killing frosts (-2C or lower) are less common than not, with the town of Peace River and Calgary seeing these conditions develop on average about once in four years, See AGRI NEWS P11

Horses served as down payment for tractors Editor
As early as 1890 some farmers stepped into the world of automation and bought tractors, however, the purchase was usually met with laughter and scorn from surrounding farmers who believed horses would never be replaced by machines. A strong team of big horses was all most farmers ever needed to plant a crop and harvest . It was the First World War when many of the young farm hands enlisted to serve that farmers began to turn to tractors. A tractor, they soon realized, could work almost three times as much land as a two-horse team and took far less manpower to operate. In the fall of 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Germany Britain and France both declared war on the Nazi Third Reich. Seven days later, on Sept 10, 1939, the Parliament of Canada likewise declared war on Germany. At the time Don Place was a young man of 17 and he was working for Nobel Graham assembling farm machinery. He remembers that International Harvester (IH) tractors out sold John Deere and Massey Ferguson machines because Mr. Graham adopted a unique sales technique. Unlike his competitors, Mr. Graham as the agent for IH, took horses as a down payment for a new tractor. “Nobody had any money. So if you wanted a tractor, old Mr. Graham would take a couple of good, big horses as down payment and then he would load the horses up on the train and ship them east where he sold the horses to Quebec farmers. “You can only imagine how many tractors he sold. “Sure..he shipped the horses by rail after I chased them around the field and put them into the corral which was close to the tracks. “I was paid $12.50 a week and room and board cost me $25.00 a month. Our landlady prepared meals and kept
us fed. “She also ironed clothes and polished our boots. We had to hide our boots if we didn’t want her to shine them
all up.” Place recalls. In 1951 after returning from war, Place started his own business as a Cockshutt farm equipment dealer under the
name of Place Farm Equipment. In 1969, Place Farm Equipment opened a second shop in Wainwright which operated until
1971. In 1964 he dropped the Cockshutt agency and switched to International Harvester, the brand he
had assembled as a teenager. In 1980 he sold and his business and returned to farming full time.

Czech Hockey Continued from Fall Pg 3 foam moose antlers on them, Frisbees, and small foam footballs. Tanner’s mom says, “Canada is so popular that they have a restaurant at one arena in Prague called Kanada. “It has a mural on one wall with the Canadian provinces painted on it, where the capital cities are lit up with small lights. The Rocky Mountains are painted on another wall. “The Canadians also supported the gift shops they visited, buying up mementos, and the local businesses seemed to appreciate that,” she says. Some of the families’ highlights were visiting Burano, Italy where they are famous for lace made there; Murano, Italy where they met a master glass blower; the Ruckl Crystal factory, where Milroy got a handmade crystal Canada Cowboy puck; and in Verona, Italy the Romeo and Juliette balcony. Tanner’s mom says the German Autobahn was fast; she says, “We cheered the driver on.”
The families also said they were immersed in history and culture, especially when they visited the Terezin Concentration Camp and the Church of bones in the Czech Republic. Both said that was an important part of the trip. The families also visited the Church of Bones in Kutna Hora region outside Prague. There the bones of those who died in civil wars and of the plague were housed
in crypts, as there was not enough places to bury the dead. Eventually, the bones were made into artifacts and sculpture, and are an intricate part of the existing chapel. David’s mom says, “I appreciated the efficiency and thoughtfulness of the tour organizers. “They got the kids adapted to the climate, and allowed them to have some fun and see the sites before playing hockey. “The tour was great, the
architecture was amazing, I loved the trip. It was not just about the hockey, which was good.” Tanner’s mom agrees, saying, “This trip was an experience of a lifetime.” Jordan says for him, “It was awesome, and nice to see what the younger European teams were like, not just the NHL players from Europe.” Milroy sums up his experience this way, “It was awesome, there are no words to describe how awesome it was.”

Players and their families had the opportunity to tour many areas in Europe, including the Church of Bones. Sedlec Ossuary, above, is located in the Kutna Hora region of the Czech Republic outside Prague, where the bones of those killed in various civil wars and those who died in the plague were made into sculptures and furniture around 1870, filling the chapel. It is said that the ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, and attracts 200,000 visitors a year.

Alberta Ag Minister top priority to address opening new markets for agriculture Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Verlyn Olson, along with Edmonton-McClung MLA David Xiao, participated in the Council of State Governments (CSG) National Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sept. 19 to 22. “The U.S. is Alberta’s largest agricultural trading partner, with exports valued at $3 billion. “This is a tremendous opportunity to promote the strengths of our agriculture sector, explore new trade and investment opportunities, and discuss key issues with U.S. decision-makers,” says Minister Olson. The conference provided an important venue for Minister Olson to advocate for changes to the U.S. mandatory country of origin labelling (COOL) requirements for
beef and pork, which are resulting in added costs for the livestock industry on both sides of the border. Alberta officials also met with U.S. delegates to promote Alberta as a secure, reliable and responsible energy provider, emphasize Alberta’s actions and commitment to responsible environmental management, and encourage greater economic cooperation and trade opportunities. CSG National includes elected and appointed members of U.S. state and territorial governments. Alberta participated as an affiliate member on CSG National’s international committee.

The Six Common Reasons for Prearranging Funerals Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral can bring peace-of-mind, and that makes a lot of sense. In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own funerals: 1. Lets your wishes be known 2. Reduces stress for friends and family at an already emotional time 3. Saves money 4. Guarantees your family will never have to pay more for your funeral — no matter what happens with inflation 5. Shows you care 6. Relieves your loved ones of the financial responsibility
MLA Xiao is Alberta’s CSG National representative.

Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor announces development of a 3-year strategic plan Leslie Cholowsky CP Editor
The Eastern Alberta Trade Corridor (EATC) announced Sept. 13 that a new phase of development has started with the creation of their new three-year strategic plan. EATC is made up of three regional economic development associations (REDA); the Palliser Economic Partnership (PEP); Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED), and the Alberta HUB. The three REDAs have been working together since 2009, “To further the recognition of Eastern Alberta’s significant contributions to the economy of the province of Alberta, and to identify opportunities for growth and prosperity within this strategically located region.” The EATC envelopes an area from the Alberta/US Border all the way up the east side of the province to Ft. McMurray, including Highway 36 and Highway 41. To date, the EATC has completed a number of successful projects, they commissioned the “Eastern Alberta Ports to Plains Corridor Development and Marketing Project,” assessing the potential to expand the use of the corridor for trade within Alberta as well as to the USA, and the possibility of attracting investment for new and existing businesses. EATC issued a report called the Eastern Alberta Corridor FDI Strategy Report, which outlined a broad strategy to attract foreign direct investment to eastern Alberta. This project earned the group an Alberta Municipal Affairs Minister’s Award of Excellence. In 2012, EATC hosted the first Ports to Plains Alliance annual confer-
ence ever to be held outside the USA, resulting in the most successful conference ever. The Ports to Plains Northern Working Group was hosted in Wainwright in 2013 largely due to the EATCs’ efforts. Given the amount of interest generated by the work the group has done so far, the decision to undertake some long term planning in the form of a three-year strategic plan was made. Consultants Rick Siddle and Rodger Cole have been selected to develop this three-year plan, including possible governance and funding models, and a first-year operational plan that will identify three to four new activities to be accomplished by EATC in the first year of operation. Cole and Siddle will consult with REDAs and provincial and federal government personnel, along with any relevant economic development organizations. Their report will also include recommendations on the group’s own governance, organizational structure, and budgeting. EATC has named a steering committee to oversee the consultants. Committee members include the chairs of the three member REDAs and their management staff. This will include Bud James, Chair of BRAED; Shay Barker, Executive Director for BRAED; Soren Odegard, Chair of the Alberta HUB; Bob Bezpalko, Executive Director for Alberta HUB; Alan Hyland, Chair of the PEP; and Walter Valentini, Executive Director of PEP. More information about the EATC can be found on their website, albertatradecorridor.com, including a list of major capital projects underway in Alberta.

Prevent infestation when storing grain CGC - As the 2013 grain harvest gets under way it is important for grain producers to take steps now to reduce potential insect infestations in stored grain, according to the Canadian Grain Commission. “Although this year was not as warm as the preceding summer, there is ample potential for stored grain insects to infest bins as grain comes in from harvest,”
explains Brent Elliott, Infestation Control and Sanitation Officer. After harvest, to maintain overall grain quality and minimize insect pest problems once grain is in storage, producers should dry grain before storing it, if necessary, to bring it to the recommended moisture content. Use aeration to help control the heat and moisture of grain in storage, particularly if
grain is stored at a high temperature. Bring grain temperature below 15°C and moisture content to recommended level as quickly as possible. Keep the temperature of grain low and uniform, below 15ºC. While daytime temperatures remain high, run fans only at night. When air tempera-
ture is cooler than grain, run fans 24 hours to cool and dry grain. If using aeration, keep the surface of the grain inside the bin as level as possible to avoid the collection of moisture in the cone. Monitor grain routinely to ensure insects are not becoming a problem.
Agri News Continued from Fall P5 Edmonton on average about once in five years and Medicine Hat and Lethbridge on average only once in about 10 years. Province wide, the beginning of the second week in September generally marks a visible shift in frost probabili-
ties, with the frost risk accelerating dramatically from that point forward. As an example, in Stettler, a frost of -2°C has a two per cent chance of occurring prior to September 4, a week later (Sept 11) it’s only seven per cent, one more week later (Sept 18) and it’s 28 per cent. On a more positive note, half of the time or every five out of 10 years, Stettler will not see a frost of -2°C until on or after September 26.

Municipal operating costs rising three times faster than population Richard Truscott, Alberta Director for CFIB. Information provided by Municipal Affairs the CFIB report shows operating spending by all municipalities across Alberta totaled $7.6 billion in 2011. Fifty-five per cent was spent on salaries, wages, and benefits. “It will be virtually impossible for mayors, councils, and administrators to exert better control over rising municipal government operating expenses without more restraint over employee compensation costs, the biggest line item in their operating budgets,” says Truscott. “If the past is an indication of what the future holds, Alberta’s entrepreneurs should be worried. “Municipalities have been increasingly turning to commercial property owners as a cash cow to fund their soaring operational costs,” he says. Previous CFIB research reports have
Tofield Tofield
5111-50 Street
Ph: 780-662-3553
shown that Alberta businesses pay a disproportionate share of property taxes. CFIB says that in 2011, commercial property in Alberta paid an average of two and half times more property tax that residential property of similar assessed value, a ratio that has continued to rise over the past decade. Truscott concludes, “Municipalities have the ability to take corrective steps, but it will require political leadership, vision, and immediate action. “The upcoming election campaign is the perfect opportunity to have a frank and honest conversation about the underlying fiscal sustainability of our province’s municipal governments.” The CFIB report makes a series of recommendations to enable municipal governments to better control growth in operating costs. This includes limiting spending increases to the rate of population growth, conducting for-
mal spending reviews, adopting sustainable wage growth policies, determining what services can be out-sourced, and the creation of a
municipal auditor general to scrutinize the spending practices of Alberta’s municipalities. “The Alberta Spending Watch report
and backgrounders with details for each municipality are posted on the Alberta section of the CFIB website at www.cfib.ca.”
Dr. Peter Yoo DDS
A new report released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) shows that operating expenditures by the vast majority of Alberta’s municipalities over the last 11 years are rising at an unsustainable rate. CFIB says the report looked at growth in real operational spending by every Alberta municipality between 2000 and 2011, and compared it to population growth over the same period as a benchmark to determine the municipality’s level of fiscal sustainability. The report found that while Alberta’s population grew by 24 per cent, real operational spending by all municipalities rose by 78 per cent, more than three times as high. Of 181 municipalities in the province with at least 1,000 population, the report shows that 92 per cent were spending at a faster rate on operations than the percent of population growth experienced. “The vast majority of Alberta’s largest municipalities have charted an unsustainable course over the past decade. “Failure to exercise greater spending restraint in the future will inevitably mean higher taxes, not to mention more borrowing, and a growing appetite for new sources of revenue,” says

Halloween traditions Twin cucumbers grow together in Sedgewick continue to evolve
Donning costumes and going door-to-door requesting candy are Halloween traditions. Millions of adults and children alike participate in Halloween celebrations across the world. Visitors to the United States, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and the Bahamas can likely find revelers donning their favorite costumes and collecting a trove of candy. Residents of Sweden, Japan and certain Latin American countries, where Halloween is more commonly known as Noche de las Brujas (Night of the Witches), sometimes celebrate Halloween as well. The term "Halloween" was first used during the 16th century and is a Scottish variant of the phrase "All Hallows' Evening." While Halloween's name may have Christian origins, historians say that Halloween has both pagan and Celtic roots. Halloween is typically linked to the Celtic festival of "Samhain," which is Old Irish for "summer's end." This time between seasons was viewed as a time when the supernatural, such as fairies and souls of the dead, could travel across worlds and visit their former homes for Samhain. In fact, souls of passed family and friends were welcomed to attend feasts, and place settings were left for them. While friendly spirits passed through, harmful spirits also became active during this time of the year. Historians believe costumes were worn to ward off these harmful
spirits. Halloween also was influenced by All Souls' Day and Christian influences that were commemorating the memories of the recently departed. The custom of baking and sharing soul cakes with neighbors has been linked to early trick-ortreating. Elements of the autumn harvest season are key components of Halloween, when scarecrows, corn husks and pumpkins can be found in abundance. Horror decorations have evolved through the years, as movies and classic literary works continue to inspire new decorations. Even Halloween candy has become more elaborate. Where it was once customary to offer small treats to children and some would be happy with a few coins with which to purchase their own treats, nowadays children may receive full-sized chocolate bars, juice boxes, elaborately decorated candied apples, or even toys. Retailers understand that Halloween is big business. Consumers can often find harvest and Halloween decor items on store shelves as early as August. However, smart shoppers realize it is best to stock up on harvestthemed items right after Halloween and save them for next year. Halloween continues to be a fun day of the year. Its origins are embedded in history, but the customs and elaborate tendencies of the day continue to evolve even now.
Emil and Olga Thompson grew long English cucumbers in their garden in Sedgewick this year. This odd specimen, above, started out as two separate cukes who grew together into one.

The harvest moon was still visible over Viking at 7 a.m.Friday morning
Shine on Harvest Moon... Roxanne Petersik Weekly Review Staff
“Shine on, shine on harvest moon...up in the sky” - Leon Redbone The Harvest Moon shone large and bright over Viking on the evening of Sept. 18 and the morning of Sept. 19, just days before the first official day of fall also know as the autumnal equinox, which was Sunday, Sept. 22. It is said that the Harvest Moon was so named because even before the invention of electricity, the brilliant moon lit up the farmers’
fields enabling them to harvest their crops through the dark night. Avid bird watchers wait for the Harvest Moon to watch what they say triggers the migration of many species. According to the bird watchers, the migrating birds fly at night by the light of the moon to avoid predators and also to take advantage of the cool night temperatures. The Harvest Moon tends to be large and more colourful than other moons of the year. Its brilliant appearance is the result of the tilt of the earth and reflections
from the atmosphere. In the midst of the appearance of this year’s Harvest Moon, residents of Viking woke to a thick layer of frost and temperatures of minus three to minus four degrees celsius. In his book Predicting the Weather by the Moon,
author Ken Ring, a mathematician and a long-range weather forecaster, says he discovered how much the moon influences the weather by keeping and comparing diaries over a ten year period. He says predicting the weather by the moon reveals vital information on how the moon affects our weather, based on sound mathematics, ancient divination techniques and recently-discovered data from space research. It explains how earthquakes, hurricanes, and extreme weather conditions can be foretold by looking at the distance of the moon from Earth. According to a number of websites studying the fall season, the Harvest Moon, which is the last full moon before Halloween, not only brings changing weather patterns, but brings prosperity and abundance. While these occurrences are not disputed, many people believe there are superstitions
attached to the appearance of the Harvest (or any full) Moon. For example, it is said that if you go outside under the full moon with an empty purse or wallet and say “full up” nine times, a few days later you will come into money; or if you rub an injury on a horse with
• Carpet T • Lino • Hardwood • Ceramic • Laminate Nick N. Toma
silver during the light of a full moon the injury will quickly heal. It may be hard to know what to believe but the fact remains, the Harvest Moon is a magnificent view from earth and it marks the beginning of a season filled with beauty, celebration and transition.

Quench your thirst with refreshing peach and ginger sparkler INGREDIENT LIST 3/4 cup (175 mL) water 3/4 cup (175 mL) sugar 1/4 cup (50 mL) thinly sliced peeled fresh ginger, bruised 4 cups (1 L) frozen sliced peaches, thawed** 1/2 cup (125 mL) Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur, optional 1 cup (250 mL) orange juice, optional 1/4 cup (50 mL) fresh lemon juice 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh rosemary leaves Ginger ale or sparkling white wine
Rosemary-pierced fruit slices (just slide a sprig of Rosemary through a slice of fruit and you have an instant garnish that adds fragrance and flavour to your glass.) To prepare sugar syrup, combine water, sugar and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Strain cooled sugar syrup through a sieve into a bowl; discard ginger. Sugar syrup may be prepared and refrigerated for up to 2 days. To prepare peach puree, place sugar syrup, peaches, orange juice, Grand Marnier, lemon juice and rosemary in a blender. Blend, using an on/off pulse motion, until peaches are finely chopped. Puree until smooth. For each serving, pour 1/4 cup (50 mL) peach puree into a glass. Stir in 3/4 cup (175 mL) ginger ale or sparkling wine. Garnish with a rosemary-pierced fruit slice. Serve immediately. Leftover peach puree may be frozen. Serves 18.
For something completely different, try using herbs in your special mocktails or cocktails. This ginger peach spritzer with rosemary requires making a peach puree and then topping it with ginger ale.

Time to prep pets for cooler weather (MS) It’s a fall ritual to get our homes, cars and even ourselves ready for the colder weather. How many of us, though, consider the impact of the changing season on our pets? Michele Dixon, a health and nutrition specialist with Petcurean, says there are simple things we can do to keep our pets healthy and safe through the fall and winter months. Here are some that top the list: • Cooler weather usually brings dry air, so using a humidifier will help to keep the nose and throat of our dogs and cats from drying out. It’s the same for their coat and skin. A dog or cat food with omega oils will help support a healthy coat
and skin. • Choose pet-friendly ice and snow melters that won’t irritate paws or stomachs, especially if your dog or cat licks its paws after being outside. • Protect your dog’s paws with a wax product designed for this purpose; it forms a dense, breathable bond, which helps prevent snow buildup during outdoor exercise. After walks, wipe away any snow or ice from your dog’s feet, legs, and belly. • Poor weather and decreased daylight may cause limited visibility for drivers at night, so take extra precautions, including using a leash, when walking your pets.
