Culture Day blazes with creativity
Don Harfield and Peter Arnold lead the children in singing songs while they played their new homemade instruments. These young ones were a real hit at Vegreville’s first Culture Day on September 27 because they held a unique beat to their performances and are Vegreville’s promise that local musicians will live on.

Rosanne Fortier Art and culture is the true conversation of life for its growth is enhancing for the viewer and creator. Hence, on September 27, citizens came out in droves to witness the inexhaustible source of artistic works that were organized by Marg Varga, Vegreville Vi s u a l Artists C o ord i nator a nd Vegreville’s Librar y Board at Vegreville Centennial Library. A group of people even came from Ontario to see this event. The day was packed with musical performances by Perogies and Jam which included
Ralph and Winnie Lange, Peter Arnold and Don Harfield, Macachi and Mike Barter, Bob Ashmead, Faith Swedgan, Jared Fell, Paul Fike, Wayne Camantigue and Bailey Stefan where each performer was of a different genre and they didn’t slam the door on talent. The Promin dancers entertained the crowd with two dance sets. “It was a good idea to invite the dancers in. They added a nice touch to the event,” Diana Ashton mentioned. Then during intermissions, citizens viewed the many visual artists’ demonstrations. Pat Macri was stitching quilts while
she displayed all her homemade quilts except a 1930’s yo-yo quilt which she bought at a garage sale for 25 cents and another quilt was purchased at the Salvation for 49 cents. “I’ve been a quilter for 30 plus years because I was heavily inf luenced by my grandmother on my dad’s side,
she was an extraordinary quilter. I still have some of her quilts.” Macri admitted “When I create these quilts, I draw a line and thread covers it up. But
once you get the top done, you have to figure out what type of pattern you want. I chose romance, hearts and feminine themes for these quilts. So, I made a heart on the bottom. You have to have a good eye for color and detail to do this work. “I love doing quilting, it’s very therapeutic. I love working with fabric and doing hand quilting because it’s traditional.

St. Martin’s School welcomes French teacher, Tracy Welke
Rosanne Fortier
St. Martin’s School is pleased to introduce new French teacher Tracy Welke, who teaches Science and Math to Grade 2 and French to Grades 4, 5 and 6. “I have lived in Vegreville with my family for the last 10 years. My husband works in the Agriculture Industry. I have two boys who attend St. Martin’s School and a step-daughter who lives in Edmonton.” Welke said. “Ever since I was a
young girl, I wanted to be a teacher. I’ve always enjoyed helping others. There is no better feeling than seeing that love of learning in a person’s eyes. I grew up in Quebec and lived there for the first 30 years of my life. In Quebec, you a re immersed in the language and culture every day. As a child, I took French every year in school, starting in Kindergarten. That is where my interest in French began.” Welke mentioned about what sparked her interest in teaching.
“I was trained as a High School Math Teacher. I taught Math in Quebec for about seven years before moving to Alberta. I also was a Department Head and a coach. Once in Alberta, I worked as a Lead Math Teacher for a school division where I traveled to different schools to work with teachers and their students on the new math curriculum. I also taught part-time.” Welke said. “ Upon mov ing to Vegreville, I taught on a Hutterite Colony. I was the only teacher in a school of Grade 1 to Grade 8 students. I taught them all subjects. I stayed home for eight years to raise my boys. While at home, I took on a variety of volunteer roles, including chairing our local Relay for Life

event. When I returned to work, I taught various classes at an adult learning facility and then returned to the Hutterite Colony for one more year.” “I love working with students and bringing out their love of learning. That is the best feeling in the world. I teach part-time at St. Martin’s so striking a balance between home and school will be the key. I also want to make sure that I see
Christ in everyone, no matter what the challenge is. “I hope to bring my love of learning to St. Martin’s School, as well as showing students the value of vol-
unteering. Volunteering has been a big part of my life and I would like to instill a sense of belonging and contributing to the community in my students.” Welke added.

The funds from Jenson, who represents the Go EAST Regional Tourism Organization in this equation, will be used to help revive the Gourmet Affair event which has been held with great success in the past. Originally the event started out under the Dine Kalyna moniker before
taking on an identity of its own. Gourmet Affair is known for featuring locally harvested ingredients in the many exciting dishes that are prepared by various chefs, some from around the area and others from the city. Humphries said the committee will not connect the event to the annual Country Fair as it has been in the past, but instead they will move it to its own timeslot in the year for enhanced prominence.

Smile of the
WEEK
Tribute to WWII Veterans planned Leon Benoit Submitted
The Government is announcing an initiative to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Canada’s engagement in World War Two. “As a part of a national tribute, our Government will be honouring living Canadian veterans of World War II through a limited edition commemorative lapel pin and a certificate of recognition,” explained Benoit. With an estimated 80,000 W WII veterans currently eligible for the tribute, Members of Parliament have been asked to help in the process of ensuring as many as possible are included. “All Royal Canadian Legions in Vegreville-Wainwright have been contacted, but I urge anyone who knows of a WWII veteran to help by ensuring they fill out and submit the application form which is available on my
website (www.leonbenoit. ca),” said Benoit. Benoit also noted that any questions or concerns regarding the application or the program can be directed to either his constituency office (780) 763-6130 or his Ottawa office, (613) 992-4171. “A third party, such as a family member, can fill out the form on a veteran’s behalf,” clarified Benoit. If possible, Benoit would like to receive the completed forms by October 24th, 2014. “However, if this is not possible, please contact my office.” “Nothing can ever adequately thank them for their service to this country, but I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to honour these veterans,” concluded Benoit. More information on the program can be found at www.veterans.gc.ca.

Importance of market fundamentals Agri-News “In this new era of globalization and instant information f low, it’s very important that time be spent learning market price fundamentals and technical information,” says Bruce Viney, business development – risk, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Olds. “Having a good understanding of potential upside market possibilities as well as potential risks can give a
business a competitive advantage when expanding the beef cow herd. “Currently there are many sources of market information and opinions freely available from a variety of sources; however, it’s suggested that managers work to ref ine their market information sources and analy tical resources. Consistent information and analysis from trusted sources can add confidence to all marketing
and business planning decisions.” In developing a network of market information and professional analysis Viney says it’s wise to spend a little money on trusted services that will be with you for the long run. “One inexpensive way to receive market data, information and analysis is through a membership with CanFax. CanFax is the long-standing analysis arm of the Canadian
Using drone technology Agri-News
Drones have been used by the military and by hobbyists for years, but now unmanned aerial vehicles designed to do a range of everyday jobs are finding a place in the agriculture industry. “Drones can be used for such applications as crop scouting, livestock surveillance in remote areas, detection of algae blooms – you name it,” says Nevin Rosaasen, research economist, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, Edmonton. “There’s even talk of it being integrated into precision agriculture and, in the future, for fertilizer delivery and spraying.” He says that producers looking at using drones have a lot to consider. “When it comes down to it, you are ultimately going to get what you paid for,” says Rosaasen. “An entry level drone with one or
two cameras might cost around $350-$400, while one with higher level resolution cameras, with filters such as UV for crop health information, range from $3,500 to $4,000. Top end drones are in the $40,000$50,000 range.” He says there are other costs beyond the purchase price. “These include the time it takes to learn to operate the drone, which

may be better spent in other areas of the operation. It’s best to use a partial budget when considering any new technology. You need to consider the costs of the investment, repairs, extra labour, management time and time spent interpreting the data.” On the other side of the partial budget are the positives. “You have to
Cattleman’s Association and an annual membership for a typical rancher costs about $125 per year. This is money well spent because you get personal access to trained analysts, data and their charts.” CanFax is hosting a market for um on November 18-19, 2014, in Calgary where a wide range of information will be provided by leading industry experts. “Cow-Calfenomics is
another information series tak ing place throughout Alberta in November and January. This year’s keynote speaker will be Mr. Kevin Grier, the highly respected Sr. Market Analyst from the George Morris Center. Kevin writes the Canadian Cattle Buyer and Canadian Boxed Beef Reports and will provide a wealth of information that can be used in formulating future planning
prices. The meetings will address beef herd expansion issues along with a variety of other cow-calf operation topics.” For further information and tools to assist with a variety of management decisions, go to the Farm Manager homepage on the Alberta Agriculture website. Producers can also call the Ag Info Center at 301 FARM (3276).
look at how your business might benefit from the information from a drone, such as better production and management decisions and how it might put more dollars in your pocket.” The biggest consideration is how the information from a drone will be used. “For instance, certain producers have said a bird’s eye view is worth $1,000 a minute. It’s a big advan-
tage to be able to get an overall survey of your field rather than just walking blindly into it hoping to find problems. Some of the aerial views and cameras can really help producers save time and deploy their resources effectively. It really comes down to the cost versus the benefit. “It’s important to set realistic goals for captur-
ing the potential benefits of the images, maps or information gained using drone technology and that additional information being applied to make a more informed production decision. When the benefits outweigh the costs, you have now turned an expensive toy into a valuable business decisionmaking tool.”

Conservatives tough on irresponsible senators Dear Editor, In response to M.P. Geoff Regan’s recent comments, I would like to reiterate that Prime Minister Harper and our Conservative Government do not tolerate irresponsible senators that misuse taxpayers’ money for personal gain. As soon as Senator Duffy was found to have misspent ta xpayer’s money he was immediately removed from the Conservative caucus and later suspended from the Senate without pay. We have assisted the RCMP throughout their investigation and congratulate them on the progress they have made. Those who break the rules must suffer the consequences. These facts are well known and will not change on the whim of others’ views on the matter. In contrast, the Liberal Party has a much different strategy concerning the conduct of irresponsible senators. Liberal Senator Mac Harb was never removed from the Liberal caucus despite his own negligent expense claims, and Liberal Senator Pana Merchant continues to sit in the Liberal Caucus despite her current foreign bank account expense scandal. Where is Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s action to match Prime Minister Harper’s high ethical standard for public representatives? The Liberal caucus clearly holds ethics to a much lesser standard than Prime Minister Ha r per and ou r Conservative Government. Mr. Regan should be careful who calls the kettle black! -Leon Benoit, M.P.

Свято Покрови Olena Babiy
В давнину в Україні всі сільські роботи на землі закінчувалися до початку жовтня. Після цього, а саме 14 жовтня, наступало святкування найголовнішого релігійного свята осені - свята Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці або, як кажуть в народі, Святої Покрови. Покрова була найголовнішим святом козаків. Вони вірили, що Пресвята Богородиця охороняє їх. Серед козаків було прийнято носити з собою
маленьку ікону Богородиці як символ захисту. Крім того, на Покрову було прийнято обирати нового отамана. На це свято прийнято спостерігати за погодними прикметами та... готуватися до весіль. В народі казали: “Покрова накриває траву листям, землю – снігом, воду – льодом, а дівчат – шлюбним вінцем”. Щодо погодних прикмет, то за погодою прийнято спостерігати впродовж всього цього дня: якщо вітер дує з Півдня – зима
буде теплою, якщо з Півночі – холодною, а якщо з Заходу – сніжною. Якщо на Покрова дуже вітряна погода, то весна буде теж вітряною. А якщо вітер змінює напрямок протягом дня, то й зима буде нестійкою. Завжди очікувалося, що після Покрови буде два тижні так званого “бабиного” літа з дуже теплою сонячною погодою. Ці два тижні є останнім прощанням з літом перед зимою. Але головною для усіх дівчат булa прикметa – якщо на Покрову сніг, то буде

багато весіль. Навіть сьогодні в багатьох українських селах прийнято справляти весілля саме після Покрови. Дівчата, які бажа ли одружитися цього року, в цей день йшли до церкви і просили про це Пресвяту Богородицю. Тож традиційно в Україні після Покрови наставав сезон весіль. Pokrova Feast – A Ukrainian Thanksgiving of old In ancient times in Ukraine the harvesting usually was over by the beginning of October. After that, on October 14 in particular, people celebrated the most important religious autumn holiday – Pokrova, dedicated to Presvyata Bohorodytsya, Most Holy Mother of God or the Virgin Mary. Pokrova was the most important holiday for the Ukrainian Cossacks. They believed that the Virgin Mary protects them. The Cossacks were always carrying a

small icon of the Virgin Mary as a protective charm. Moreover, at that day it was traditional to elect a new Cossacks leader – an ataman. On Pokrova people made a long-term weather forecast. So, this holiday is associated with watching the weather signs and… preparing for weddings. People were saying: “Pokrova covers a grass with leaves, an earth with snow, a water with ice, and girls with the crown of marriage.” As for the weather signs, people had to watch them during all day long to make a long-term weather forecast: if the wind is blowing from the south then the winter will be
warm, if from the north – then cold, and if from the west – then very snowy. If this day is very windy, then a windy spring is expected. And if the wind changes direction during the day, then the winter weather will be unstable. People were always waiting for “babyne lito” (the women’s summer), or Indian summer – two weeks after Pokrova with warm and sunny weather. These two weeks are the last farewell to the summer before a winter cold season. But the most important sign for all girls was the following – if it is snowing on Pokrova, then there will be a lot of weddings this year. Even today there is a tradition in many Ukrainian villages to celebrate weddings after Pokrova feast. Girls who desired to get married that year were supposed to go to the church and ask the Virgin Mary about that. So, traditionally in Ukraine after Pokrova occurred a season of weddings.

Stop stigma, learn more about mental illness AHS Submitted
Each year, more than 500,000 Albertans visit a doctor about their mental health. Although there are many types of mental health problems, the most common ones are clinical depression and anxiety disorders. Mental Illness Awareness Week, October 5 – 11, gives Alberta Health Services an opportunity to provide information designed to help Albertans be more aware and open to the reality of mental illness. Mental Illness Awareness Week is an annual national public campaign, coordinated by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health. Clinical depression affects about 2 million Canadians age 20 years and older at some point
in their lives. Clinical depression is more common in women and often occurs in conjunction with childbearing. Depression is often seen with other mental health problems and with physical illnesses like heart disease, stroke, and physical disabilities. About 2.5 million Canadians 20 years and older live with an anxiety disorder. Knowing the signs and symptoms of someone with a mental illness is the first step. Mental Health First Aid Canada, which is based on the model of medical first aid, teaches people how to help someone showing signs of a mental health illness or going through a mental health crisis. When trying to be helpful it is important to be sympathetic. By actively
listening and understanding why a person is feeling the way they are, conveying that you understand their emotions and that you accept them even though they are not feeling well is the most helpful thing to do. People who continue to show signs of mental health problems should be encouraged to seek help. A doctor, mental health therapist or addiction counselor can help address a mental health concerns. For more information on mental health visit: www.myhealth.alberta. ca. To access programs or services related to addiction or mental health visit: www.albertahealthservices.ca.

Every morning when I wake I know that you are gone, But no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow, What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed, Debbie, Kim & Steve, Colin & Nicolle, Mike & Sheena and their families

It healed souls and it creates an economic benefit directly or indirectly to our society. “Albert Einstein said that logic will get us from A to B but our imaginations will allow us to go anywhere. “Then we need to remember that the people who make a lot of this happen is the municipality who support you with the spaces you can create this art in and the libraries,” Fenske said. “Art work is one of the most important things for the community and I hope to see this event grow to a bigger one in the future. We hope to get better and more facilities for the culture in this town. I think the art work at this event is astonishing and if we encourage our youth to

Three Director positions open on Alberta Barley Board Agri-News Alberta Barley is calling for nominations to fill three open spots on their board of directors. Nominations are currently being accepted for the director positions available in region one and two to replace Greg Stamp (Enchant) and Chairman Matt Sawyer (Acme) respectively. Both Stamp and Sawyer are completing their second three-year term this December.
“Representing Alberta’s barley farmers has been one of my best experiences in life,” said Sawyer. “I’ve always believed that farmers need to have a voice in this industry, and it has been an honour to be that voice as your chairman.” In addition to the director positions, Alberta Barley is also accepting nominations for an open director-at-large position. Current directorat-large Glenn Logan’s (Lomond) term also con-
cludes in December. The director-at-large position represents the entire province and nominees are currently accepted from every region where a director-at-large is not currently represented. For this election cycle that means nominees can come from regions one, two, four and six. “It is important that people get involved,” added Sawyer. “There is no better way to influence agricultural policy and grow our industry. We
need people to step up, and secure the agricultural future for Alberta’s barley farmers.” The deadline for nominations is Oct. 31, 2014, and nomination forms are available on www.albertabarley. com. The elections for directors will take place at November’s regional meetings, and the director-at-large will be announced at the annual general meeting on Dec. 10, 2014.

Mary Dowhaniuk embodies a senior’s work ethic Rosanne Fortier There isn’t just a garden people can plant, Leonel Davila, owner of Leonel’s place has an advanced senior, Mary Dowhaniuk who has been working at his restaurant for around nine years and he stated that they share moments and plant memories together from their work. They have a relaxed manner and they crack a joke or two together. Mary Dowhaniuk’s eyes glowed as she spoke about her life of pleasure and purpose. “I learned since I was eight years old to be a good worker because my father was tough and he insisted that I picked rocks on the farm. We used to milk cows, feed the pigs and chickens and attend a large garden. My mother had seven children so she had no choice

but to stay in the house to care for the kids. My Dad thought work was more important than going to school and I had to leave school at 14 years-old. “Today, I like to work in this restaurant because I get to be around people, be productive which makes me feel fulfilled. “The challenges are I have to get up at 6 a.m. to get ready for work.” Mary mentioned. Leonel said he is very pleased to have Mary for an employee. “Mary is very responsible and she has a good work ethic, which she learned when she was younger. She’s always on time and makes sure to finish a job and accomplishes whatever she sets out to do for a day which many people don’t do. “She gives a friendly,
personal touch to the patrons because she’s been in this area so long that she knows everyone. “We get along very well. She’s a real asset to my establishment. I like her because she’s conscientious and aware when I need help with any preparation for my cooking. Even in her own life, she works in her garden every summer.” “Seniors have experience and skills they can use in the workforce. They learned a good work ethic when they were young. For instance, Ukrainian people know how to cook great food and when I moved to Vegreville, they taught me their traditional ways of making Ukrainian foods which proved to be a popular feature in my restaurant.”

Mundare benefits from facility grant
Submitted On August 16, Jacquie Fenske, MLA for the constituency, presented a cheque for $20,500 to the ARSAN (Alberta Rural Sustainable Alternatives Network) group for the relocation of their office and classroom to the town of Mundare. Pa r k l a n d Fa r m Operations have come to a close and a new chapter in programming is about to begin at ARSAN to preserve and expand on the work previously done at the Basilian Father’s farm site. The move of the
ARSAN office to Victory Park will mean that Mundare youth and adults alike will be provided with unique opportunities to participate in activities, courses and programs within walking distance rather than driving out to the farm. These will slowly unfold as ARSAN gets settled in and attracts new members for the Mundare HUB for Sustainable Education. Watch for announcements of upcoming events like an open house sometime next year. ARSAN’s application
for a Communities Enhancement Facilities Program grant was approved due to the need to preserve the facility and save a unique and valuable program. Several programs exist in many other Alberta communities that promote Health and Wellness. Similarly this facility will serve Mundare plus will attract participants from the surrounding area as well. The CEFP program and Jacquie recognized the signif icance of this endeavor and helped create another “gem” in Alberta.
