Epic Life Challenge… 2.0 Michael Simpson Staff Writer There is a man who thinks he can do better, a man who has vowed not only to take off excess weight, but to raise money for a local charity, the St. Joseph’s Genera l Hospita l Foundation, in the process. He is asking the community to become involved, both in leading a healthier lifestyle, and in supporting the community through pledges for pounds lost. “I’ve been on a weightwise program before with Alberta Healthcare,” he said. “I left the program at 372 pounds two years ago. Now, 50 pounds later obviously what I’ve been doing for myself isn’t working.” This man recently did a weigh-in at St. Joseph’s Hospital, clocking in at 426 lbs, 12 oz. He would like to shed around 50 pounds between now and the end of August, change his eating habits and add exercise to his daily life. “I feel pretty good most days, but I’ve grown tired of looking around the room wondering which chair I can sit on that won’t break. My biggest eye-opener was when I went on vacation and I couldn’t go zip-lining with my daughter this winter.” He hopes to inspire the community to be healthier, invites them to take part in weekly walks, and share
support or advice. Individuals and businesses are asked to join in, he said. His goal is, in a word… Epic. “I want my personal experience, my published weight to get people those people who aren’t as heavy as me to get off the couch and do something for themselves,” he said. Who is this man? …Find out next week as his own version of Epic Life Challenge begins.

Vortex Coaching staff have a weekend with the Edmonton Eskimos players get to play 3 mini games against other football teams.

Dan Fisher Submitted The Edmonton Eskimos held their third annual Coaches Clinic this spring on March 15-16th. The 2 day event included both classroom and video instruction with current members of the Eskimo coaching staff. Sessions focused on topics such as Preparation, Drills, Schemes, Positional Alignments, Fundamental Principles and Concepts and Personnel Assessment. This year 3 Vegreville Vortex coaches headed to Edmonton for the event. Lead by new Vortex head coach Mayank Chauhan (Coach May), he brought Offensive Coach Dan Fisher and Defensive backfield coach Nathan Henry with him. When describing why he felt it important to bringing his coaching staff the Vortex head coach stated “The goal is
to have all the coaches reading from the same playbook, to be on the same page. When the opportunity came up for the coaching staff to attend this course together, we jumped at the opportunity” Eskimos Head Coach Kavis Reed opened the Eskimo clinic describing the Eskimos organization. He detailed what it took to be a leader in the CFL. A strong team philosophy, work ethics and knowing the basic skills are key elements to success. “For a team to be successful it must teach strong basic fundamentals’ agreed Head Coach May. “Who better to learn this from then the Coaches of the Eskimos.” “The commitment by the Eskimos to support player and coaching development at all levels has never been more evident. It was great to be able to talk one on one with the
Eskimos offensive coach Doug Sams and see the passion he has for the game.” said offensive Coach Fisher. “He was able to offer concepts and core fundamentals which I know we can turn into a strong Vortex presence on the field this year.” Vortex Coach Nathan Henry was equally impressed with the passion the Eskimos’ coaches had for every aspect of the game of football. “ It was hard not to leave that clinic and not want to play football. We’ve learned so many new drills and I’m excited to share this knowledge with the Vortex players at the upcoming spring season.” The Vegreville Vortex 2013 spring season starts Wednesday May 1. Spring Football runs the month of May ending with a Football Jamboree in Westlock on May 25th. At the jamboree the spring

Smile of the
WEEK
Ralph Klein had a lot to be proud of Mark Milke Troy Media With Ralph Klein’s passing, many have tried to find a constant theme in his political life. The late premier was, to be sure, a populist. What else explains his reputation as a big spender when mayor of Calgary and then his switch to a prudent premier? The explanation is not complicated: once the bills come due, even a populist politician will change course when the public sours on policy gimmicks, when they demand a government focus on the basics. That includes not bankrupting public finances or assuming taxpayers can be increasingly gouged to pay for political vote buying. In late 1992 when Klein assumed the Alberta premier’s chair, he faced a province that hadn’t balanced its books since the budget year that ended in March 1985 and interest rates that, since the mid-1980s, ranged from a high of
14 per cent to a “low” of just over five per cent. In other words, looking forward, more government borrowing was reasonably thought to be fiscal suicide. In 1993, Klein’s first full year as premier, interest on the provincial debt hit $1.4 billion. To put that in context, let’s contrast debt interest with program spending. That year, $1.4 billion in debt interest was equivalent to 33 per cent of Alberta’s health care expenses or 75 per cent of the cost of social services. That reality is why Klein’s government cut spending as its first priority; interest payments increasingly prevented other options, be it on programs beyond just the immediate years, or on the opportunity for tax relief. The last Klein-era deficit was in fiscal 1994, the reduction in debt started in 1995, and the resulting decline in interest payments (beginning in

1996) allowed Klein, his Finance Minister Jim Dinning and their colleagues, to create what the government tagged as the “Alberta Advantage.” It included a reduction in business and personal taxes and a move away from punishing multi-bracket personal tax rates to a single tax rate on Albertans. How the Klein government exited the business of being in business was also useful in the creation of the Alberta Advantage. In 1993, government liquor stores were privatized; in 1994, every single vehicle license registry was turned over to the private sector; in 1996, the past practice of government loan guar-
antees to corporations, which cost taxpayers $2.2 billion by the early 1990s, was mostly stopped. In 2006, when Klein retired, Alberta’s books were in tremendous shape. In 1993/94, Klein’s first budget year, Alberta’s net financial debt stood at $8.3 billion. By the time of his last budget in 2006/07, Alberta possessed net financial assets of $36 billion, a $44.3-billion turnaround in Alberta’s finances in 14 years. At the end of the Klein era, Albertans were thriving, to the consternation of his critics who believed that when the government withdrew from borrowing, from public spending (the presumed remedy to every
private problem) and from corporate welfare, Alberta’s economy would crater. But it didn’t. In the 1990s, in the years immediately following the budget cuts, Alberta’s economic growth was stronger than the Canadian average in every year but one and the unemployment rate had dropped from a high of 9.5 per cent in 1992, the year Klein became Premier, to 3.4 per cent by the time he left office in 2006. No person or politician is perfect. The late premier never took on the vested interests that have a quasimonopoly grip on health care delivery. In education, the province did allow for experiments in charter schools but enacted few
substantial reforms beyond that. That left a problem for future governments, given how those two sectors represent two-thirds of provincial program spending. Some argue Klein and his colleagues were lucky, that oil and gas allows any politician to look good. Not so. Plenty of politicians in other resource-rich economies from Russia to Argentina and from California to Quebec can and do torpedo prosperity. They do so with ill-advised policies, ones that hinder people from getting a job and which prevent families from building a prosperous life. In Alberta, Klein was a memorable premier because
News Advertiser Page 5 he had the humility to recognize that government cannot do everything. Governments can and should set the basic “rules of the game,” enact sensible and not punishing regulations and tax rates, and then allow everyone to prosper. So what was Klein’s legacy? No debt, moderate taxes, neutrality in the market-
place and thus policies that benefit families most of all. That is why so many of them moved to Alberta, found work, and prospered. Mark Milke is a Senior Fellow with the Fraser Institute and Director of Alberta Policy Studies.
Self employed? Your tax deadline is coming Here are some of the most common questions • Do I need a business number? – You do not need a business number to report business income on a T2125 Form. This form records your business income and expenses as part of your personal return. And you need to pay CPP premiums if you earned more than $3,500. • Can I have losses? – You can have losses on your business that can be used to offset other income. If the losses exceed your income from other sources, you have a non-capital loss which can be carried forward to years when you have more income. • Do I need receipts? – Keep really good records. Selfemployed Canadians are more likely to be audited, so make sure you keep your receipts and other documentation to support your
business expenses. And the expenses must have been incurred to help you earn your income. • Do I really need to fill out a T2125? – Even if you are student with a summer job that paid you as a contractor, you should still report the income on a T2125 Form and claim reasonable business expenses. It may be tempting to enter the income on Line 104 (other employment income) but this is not correct. • Can I use a flat rate for business mileage? – If you use your car for business, you must keep a mileage logbook. There is a new simplified method for selfemployed taxpayers but you are required to keep a logbook for a year before you can use it. If you do not have a logbook and claim business mileage, your claim may be reduced or disallowed.
• Do I have to make instalments? – If you have tax owing in any two of the last three tax years, the Canada Revenue Agency will request that you make quarterly instalments rather than an annual payment. Failing to make instalment payments could result in interest charges. • Do I need a GST number? – If your annual revenues are more than $30,000, you have to register for the GST/HST. However, even if your revenues are less than this, it is usually advantageous to register so that you can claim input tax credits for the GST/HST you pay. A tax professional at H&R Block can talk about other credits and deductions that may affect you. To find the office nearest you visit

The greatest stock market secret When the stock market is the market was going going up and all your down, down, down? Are stocks, ETFs and mutual we headed for another funds are making money 2008? I don’t predict, but I you feel like a genius. It is do listen to the voice of the market. too bad that some The great Wall folks don’t rememStreet mantra is ber what happened “buy a good stock in 2000 and 2008. and put it away”. Of course, right Did you keep now we are in one Enron and Global of those genius THE ALCHEMIST Al Thomas Crossing? Even if phases. these were excepYour broker and financial planner are tions because of fraud a encouraging you to buy, smart investor would not buy, buy. And I can’t fault have lost any money. In that at this time. You fact he could have made a remember back in 2008 nice profit. But Al, they how many times they told went under. But the smart you to buy, buy, buy while money still made out
because they got out near the top. As a former exchange member and floor trader I was not right every time I bought something and I especially did not like giving back nice profits that had accumulated. You don’t have to be psychic to know when to sell and don’t think you are going to be able to pick the top. A really smart trader waits for a stock or fund to start up and then jumps on it with both feet. When it starts down he jumps off looking for another equity that is going up. The wise trader knows he can’t buy the bottom and sell the
top. What he wants is a big bite out of the middle. When you make a sandwich most of the meat is in the center and a professional trader does the same with his trading. He wants to take a bite out of the middle of the move. You can do this too by looking for stocks, mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds that have a nice upward pattern. As I said before buying is not the secret. Then what is? You must learn to sell for two reasons. First to protect your equity after your initial purchase and second to keep from giving
back profits you have made as the equity advances. The great Wall Street secret is an exit strategy: knowing when and how to sell. Unless you learn to sell you will not be successful in the market. Brokerage companies do not want you to sell and rarely issue sell signals. You must decide how much you are willing to risk before you buy. The simplest way is with a percentage stop loss order of 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, whatever you can live with. Instruct your broker to place a trialing stop or you can change it yourself every week. Do not lower a stop.
Selling is the great secret you will never hear from your broker. Al’s new ebook (32 pages) is available on Amazon. com for 99 cents. It explains the Golden Cross and the Death Cross. These are well known methods of determining long term trends in the market. If you only learn one method of technical analysis this would have kept you out of the 2000 and 2008 crashes and will keep you out of the next one that is coming soon.

Area farmers hope for profitable growing season amid near record crop prices AFSC Submitted Near record crop prices are fuelling the possibility of a profitable growing season as Vegreville-area farmers prepare for spring seeding.
“With canola f luctuating around $14.50 per bushel and barley averaging about $5.30 in March, farmers are hoping the weather cooperates better this year – so they can cash in on these high prices with bumper crops,” says Lorelei Hulston, Provincial Insurance Manager for Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), which administers crop insurance in Alberta on behalf of the provincial and federal governments. “Producers would like to avoid the disappointment of last year,” says Hulston. “Prices were high and the growing season looked promising. Then came a series of unexpected weather and disease issues that left many with below average yields and crop insurance claims.” Close to $532 million was paid out through crop insurance across Alberta last year, including the County of Minburn. Claims were trig-
Alberta. Whether prices remain at near record highs – allowing farmers to cash in once they harvest crops this fall – depends mainly on the weather, says Charlie Pearson, a provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Mother Nature is in control.” He explains today’s high prices were created by last year’s drought in the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, and South America – leaving tight corn and oilseed supplies worldwide. As the April 30 crop insurance deadline approaches, Lorelei Hulston with AFSC says a wide variety of perils triggered payouts on crop insurance across Alberta last year – including hail, wind, plant disease, drought, and heat stress, as shown here on the map. gered by several factors including widespread hail, lack of moisture, and heat stress caused by hot July weather. “Many canola fields were hit

by an unexpected disease called aster yellows. Diseases like sclerotinia and insects like army cutworms also became a problem,” says Hulston. Crop Insurance Deadline April 30 “It still ended up being a decent year financially for many – thanks to high grain prices – but it was far from what they’d hoped for,” says Hulston. “With crop prices even higher this spring, there’s a lot of value farmers will want to protect this year,” she adds, reminding producers of the upcoming April 30 deadline to apply for crop insurance in
Grain Prices Could Drop 10 to 20% “If the world gets good weather and decent crops, we’ll have larger grain supplies this fall – causing prices to drop 10 to 20 per cent depending on how much grain is harvested,” predicts Pearson. “But if drought conditions continue in these major grain growing regions of the world and supplies tighten further, prices could climb higher.” While he expects grain prices will soften this fall, Pearson says strong demand for meat and cooking oil in China and the U.S. ethanol policy should keep prices “historically high and profitable for most producers.” See Story..........................

Area farmers hope for profitable growing season continued CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
SPE Protects High Prices “However, we’ll probably see wild price swings. Historically there’s more market volatility when prices are high,” he explains. “It’s a good year for farmers to consider locking in some of the profitable prices being forecast with a tool like the Spring Price Endorsement (SPE),” says Pearson. The SPE is an optional crop insurance rider that compensates farmers if prices drop 10 to 50 per cent between spring and fall on harvested crops. If grain prices climb higher – by 10 to 50 per cent – a builtin crop insurance feature called the Variable Price Benefit (VPB) insures farmers at the higher price if their crop fails, adds Hulston. The VPB paid out nearly $108 million in 2012 – a record amount – when prices jumped by up to 50 per cent on some crops between spring and fall. Hulston expects interest in the SPE will rise this year as producers look for ways to protect against falling prices, but she says the production guarantee crop insurance provides will once again be the key reason farmers insure as much as 14 million acres of Alberta cropland this spring. Hail and Lack of Moisture are Big Risks Barry Schmaus, who grows 2,000 acres of canola, wheat,
oats, and peas south of Vegreville near Bruce, is hoping prices stay strong and he can grow a high-yielding crop this year after hail battered his fields last summer. “Our crops looked extremely good before it hailed – the best we’d seen in years. We would have lost a lot of money if it wasn’t for crop insurance last year. Without it, we’d be way in the hole because input costs are so high,” says Schmaus, noting he always adds the Hail Endorsement rider to his coverage. He says hail and lack of moisture are his biggest risks every year, although with so much snow this winter his soil moisture looks good so far. “Spring frost can also be a problem. You never know,” he adds. All-Risk Coverage Like Schmaus, most farmers enrolled in crop insurance take the highest coverage levels – insuring 70 to 80 per cent of their average crop yield – because it’s impossible to predict what might impact their crops each year, says Hulston. The majority also take the Hail Endorsement rider, she says, noting about 60 per cent of crop insurance premiums are subsidized by government. “It’s all-risk coverage that insures everything from drought and hail to frost, flooding, insects, wind, disease, and wildlife.” As producers fill out their crop insurance forms, Hulston reminds them to declare all acres they intend to seed this year – whether they plan to insure them or not – to be eligible for the Unseeded Acreage and Reseeding Benefits if those fields become flooded during the growing season. Farmers can also Auto-Elect Straight Hail Insurance coverage at a 2 per cent discount if they choose that option with their crop insurance before April 30. And producers wishing to defer claim payments until the next calendar year are urged to notify AFSC as soon as possible. “Because once claim cheques are issued, payments can no longer be deferred,” says Hulston.
Producers with questions about crop insurance can contact their local AFSC District Office or the AFSC Call Centre at 1-877-899-AFSC
(2372) before the April 30 deadline.

MEMORIAM LYSYK, John Sam July 29, 1952 – April 9, 2012 In loving memory of John who passed away April 9, 2012 Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there; I did not die. Forever remembered The Lysyk Family

OGRODNICK, Clarence Gone but not forgotten April 10, 2010 In this life, I was loved by you. Many the thoughts I give to you As the long hours go by. Thinking of the things we used to do And say, just you and I. Sometimes they make me smile Sometimes they make me cry. Memories of you and I. A part of my heart you took But your love you left me to keep. So we will never really be parted. That bond between us is too deep Wonderful memories woven in gold, A picture of you I tenderly hold, Deep in my heart, your memory is kept, To love, to cherish, never to forget. I miss the colors that you brought into my life Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now Saying it’ll be alright I miss my friend The one my heart and soul confided in The one I felt the safest with The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again And let the light back in I miss my friend Sandra

mitment we made two years ago in our strategic plan.” “Our story this year is one of progress and planning,” stated Jim Laverick, Chairman of the Board. “Our co-operative continues to strengthen and be reinforced. We have re-focused on our core and remain steadfastly attentive to the needs of our membership. Agriculture isn’t a job - it’s a passion and it’s a way of life. It’s an industry that matters. At UFA, we understand that and every decision we are making as we move forward has our membership at the heart of it. As one of our board members recently said, ‘we have dirt in our veins.’” UFA is one of Alberta’s
oldest co-operatives and is identified in the rural landscape by their extensive orange-hued network of Farm & Ranch Supply stores, Petroleum agencies and Cardlocks. A video tribute titled, “A Life out Here” was launched at the UFA AGM March 13, 2013 and celebrates the life, the work, the pride and the passion UFA members have for farming, ranching and rural life. Earlier this year, UFA announced the planned divestment of their U.S. Wholesale Sports network to Sportsman’s Warehouse and Alamo Group. The transaction closed March 11, 2013. UFA will continue to own, operate and grow the Canadian Wholesale
Sports network. “Our Canadian Wholesale Sports stores have been profitable and strong arm of our diversified strategy,” stated Nelson. “Re-focusing on Canada benefits our members and supports our co-operative. We are very excited about the future for both UFA and Wholesale Sports Canada. It is definitely a brighter shade of orange for UFA.” Further information regarding financial results can be found at UFA.com/ 2012AnnualReport. UFA Co-operative Limited is one of Alberta’s most dynamic enterprises. UFA has an unmatched network of more than 110 bulk fuel and cardlock Petroleum locations, 35 Farm & Ranch
Supply stores and 11 Wholesale Sports Outdoor Outfitter stores. Our employees and independent Petroleum agents strive to provide products, services and solutions to farmers, ranchers, consumers and commercial members and customers in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. Since its founding in 1909, UFA has grown from a small-scale local co-operative into a comprehensive enterprise with $2.1 billion in annual sales and over 120,000 members. While UFA has grown and changed over the years, at our heart remains a commitment to agriculture and to the communities we serve.

The total value of fees paid for has risen from $4,830 in 2009 to $7,110 in 2011. “We’re taking registrations all the time,” Christensen
said, who works with fellow Chair Ryan Veldkamp on growing both the size of the KidSport board but also in reaching out and making a difference to more kids in the community. “We have a
strong board, but we’re always looking for someone who can offer additional qualities to the board as well as volunteers for fundraising events.” Locally, parents wishing
