Rosanne Fortier Local children commented throughout the year how they loved the fair while seniors announced that the fair was the peak of their childhood memories and is still their favorite event of the year. This is a popular view because of the 100 best things to do in Edmonton and area, Vegreville’s Country Fair was rated number 16. This fair has many sponsors with
Dennill’s Kubota being the major sponsor of for 2014. The Vegreville Agricultural Society’s 11th annual Country Fair on August 7, 8, and 9 presented this vibe as the fair matched the down-home, liveliness, color, high-level of talent and fun-loving nature of small-town and rural folks. Upon entering, the warm, original smell of caramel apples, cotton candy and fried dough wafted through
the fair grounds and while citizens indulged in sinfully delicious treats like deep fried Oreo’s, the faint sound of happy cries flew from the mid-way rides. Around the edge of this section, people of all ages wore an expression of deep concentration as they engaged in a game-ofchance to win a prize for themselves or their sweetheart.

Ramp Boys who demonstrated that our local performers can attract and sustain a large audience with their performances. The Fiddlin’ Kiddlins with Malachi Barter and Callina Kirk played an energetic set of tunes that were as radiant as the sunshine. August 8 presented musical gems from Bob Ashmead, Klym, Don and Noreen. Local Musician, Randy Kereliuk was the MC and singer for the opening music and during intermission periods on August 10. This final lineup saw performers from across Alberta with Megan Keirstead making her appearance first. “Megan Keirstead is a singer-songwriter who turned to songwriting to help overcome the loss of her grandma. Megan also does covers from many artists. Her first EP, recorded with Peter Stone is titled Unsettled Heart was released on May 25, 2014.” Kereliuk said. Cassidy Zahar was next. Cassidy is a 16 year-old girl who hails from Bellis, Alberta. She has been playing the guitar and singing the old Country Classics since the age of nine. Cassidy is very communityoriented and she performs at local Lodges and Nursing homes. Since then, Cassidy has won many awards and in July 2011, she was thrilled to record her first ever CD with the help of fellow musician Ky Babyn. Braden Gates followed. “Braden’s breed of folk music is that familiar American finger picking kind that tilled the hearts of a generation that woke up
as if from a stupor of violence and senseless instrument rationality.” Kereliuk said. Then the audience was introduced to Olivia Rose
who is a 15 year-old girl that hails from Elk Point, Alberta. “Olivia’s song, 15 minutes, won her a judge’s discretionary award in 2012 at the Calgary Folk Fest
songwriting competition. Olivia continued on to win many more awards and in the future, she hopes to make her mark on Canadian country music. But the fact that is most amazing about

Унікальні місця України Olena Babiy Всі ми знаємо, що Україна - дуже мальовнича країна з величною історією. В кожному куточку України мoжна знайти щось абсолютно особливе і неповторне. Тож, якщо ви плануєте подорож на свою іс торичну батьківщину, ми хочемо порадити вам декілька абсолютно необхідних для відвідування місць. Почніть свою подорож Україною з відвідування “Тунеля кохання”, дендропарка “Софіївка”, острoва “Хортиця”, Кам’янець-Подільської фортеці та озера Синевир. Ми запевняємо - ви будете дуже вражені! “Тунель кохання” Однe з найкрасивіших і незвичайних місць Україні знаходиться в селищі Клевань. Це чудо природи називають
“Тунель кохання”. В радянські часи тут заходилась військова база з залізничною колією. Дерева навколо колії були посаджені таким чином, щоб сховати її. За останні роки дерева сформували дуже мальовниий природний зелений тунель над залізницею. Загальна довжина т унелю становить близько чо т ири кілометри. Останнім часом це місце стало досить відомим у світі, деякі відомі бренди знімають тут рекламні ролики. А туристи давно визначили це місце як одне з найромантичніших в Україні.
Дендропарк “Софіївка” Дендропарк “Софіївка” знаходиться в місті Умань. Він був заснований в 1796 році польським графом Станіславом Потоцьким і названий на честь його дружини Софії. Це був подарунок графа на іменини дружини. Сьогодні це одне з найбільш відвідуваних туристичних місць в Україні. Парк відомий завдяки своїй унікальній архітектурі та ландшафту. Тут є і водоспади, і мальовниче озеро, і кам’яні брили, і оригінальні альтанки, і хитромудрі містки. Одним з найвідоміших місць парку є фонтан “Змія”, який піднімає воду на висоту в 18 метрів. Острів “Хортиця” Хортиця є найбільшим островом на річці Дніпро - довжина острова 12 кілометрів, а ширина, в 2,5 середньому, кілометри. Острів має
статус Державного історико-культурного заповідника. В 16-18 столітті тут була розташована легендарна Запорізька Січ, де жили козаки, які є символом України. На острові в мініатюрі представлені усі ландшафтні зони України. На Хортиці діє історико-культурний комплекс «Запорізька Січ», присвячений життю
та побуту козаків, а також тут знаходиться Музей запорізького історії козацтва. Острів Хортиця є одним з найільш популярних місць серед туристів. Тут проводиться багата кількість виставок, театралізованих вистав та фестивалей. Кам’янець-Подільська фортеця Кам’янець-Подільський є дивовижно красивим містом в Західній України.
Вузькі вулички, затишна міська площа та розташована тут дивовижна фортеця роблять це місто обов’язковим д ля відвідування. Перші споруди фортеці належать до 11-12 століть, а основні укріплення - до 16-17 століть. До складу фортеці вход ять одинадцять башт, кожна з яких має свою назву й історію. У підземеллях фортеці відкрито е к с п о з и ц і ї, що
відтворюють сторінки її історії. Крім того, туристи можуть стати учасниками нічної театралізованої екскурсії. Озеро Синевир Це мальовниче озеро знаходиться в Карпатах на висоті понад 1000 м
над рівнем моря. Синевир вважають найкрасивішим озером України. Згідно з місцевою легендою, озеро утворилося зі сліз графині Синь, дочки багатого графа, якій батьки не дозволили бути з простим пастухом на і’мя Вир, в якого вона закохалася. Посередині озера знаходиться крихітний, площею всього кілька метрів, острівець. Вода в

allowed. But in combination with capitalizing some letters and including numbers, tossing a few other classic symbols into the mix creates a broad spectrum of variations that can vex hackers. Use a Password Manager – Most cybersecurity specialists agree a password manager probably is the best line of defense for individual users, especially because this type of software also reduces confusion and increases convenience. A password manager encrypts, stores and helps create random passwords, all of which can be deployed on different sites with one master password. Your IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) can help with recommendations. And now, here is online blogsite splashdata.blogspot.
ca’s list of the worst passwords from 2013 in order from worst to still crappy: 123456 password 12345678 Qwerty Abc123 123456789 111111 1234567 iloveyou adobe123 123123 Sunshine 1234567890 letmein Photoshop 1234 monkey shadow 12345 password1 azerty trustno1 000000
5 Tips for Good Password Hygiene Reprinted from ITInflections.com eBay Inc., the global commerce and payments firm, issued an advisory earlier in June asking its 145 million users to change their passwords as soon as possible. While the online giant said no financial information had been stolen and it couldn’t find evidence of unauthorized activity, eBay acknowledged being the victim of a cyberattack and the compromised database held encrypted passwords. In other words, the company conceded the best course of action in the wake of the breach is for customers to protect themselves with preventative measures. Whether or not they have eBay accounts, small business operators would be wise to practice what IT security
pros call “good password hygiene” when managing their online footprint. Employees, partners, suppliers, vendors and anyone that interacts with a small company should be encouraged to do the same. Because, as noted in the ITinflections post “Is Your Business Protected from the Latest IT Security Threats?” all that cybercriminals need for a foothold is one person connected to your organization to make a bad decision. The Wall Street Journal canvassed cybersecurity experts in the wake of the eBay crisis. Here’s a synopsis of their recommendations for good password hygiene: Stop “Salting” Your Passwords – Cybersecurity experts call using variations of standard passwords for different sites “salting.” An
example would be a company leader who uses “CEOfb” for Facebook and “CEOtwtr” for Twitter. The problem is the pattern, of course. Once a hacker discovers the logic applied to creating variations, testing hundreds of permutations with the aid of microprocessors doesn’t take long. Start Using Passphrases Instead of Passwords – Former hackers testify that single-word passwords are easy to hack. So, instead of just one word, use three like “SecureCyberRules.” Because some websites limit password fields to 16 characters, creating passphrases will take some creativity. So, make the process fun and engaging by avoiding common phrases and terms. One programmer interviewed by WSJ said: “I take a line from
a Korean anime program I saw twice when I was a kid, contort it and that would be a good start.” Other times he said he relies on a random password generator. Leave Your Personal Life Out of Your Passwords – By examining public sites, such as an individual’s home page on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, hackers can study your private life and crack logical patterns like “salting.” So, never use the names of family members, including pets. Put Symbols into the Mix – Many sites now not only require users to change passwords often but to include symbols in passwords, such as punctuation marks. Some symbols found on the common keyboard, such as the “@” sign, are not
Cryptolocker: Avoid Ransomware with Healthy Paranoia ITinflections Reprinted from website Cybersecurity firms have reported to ITinflections a recent increase in Cr y ptolocker traff ic. Cryptolocker is Ransomware, a class of malware that restricts access to the computer system that it infects and then demands a ransom
paid to the creator of the malware in order for the restriction to be removed. As the name implies, Cryptolocker encrypts files on a computer’s hard drive and associated systems, such as attached storage and networked servers. This particular version arrives in a user’s inbox in the form of an email
message announcing the availability of a voicemail or fax that must be downloaded from a free file-sharing service like Dropbox. Once the fake link is clicked, the infection takes hold and web pages pop up or text files are downloaded instructing the victim that the compromised files will be decrypted for a fee paid through a peer-to-peer payment service like Bitcoin. Cybercrime experts categorize Ransomware as “cryptoviral extortion.” Another way to describe the malicious method is virtual blackmail. And like actual blackmail, the greatest risk is there is no guarantee cybercriminals will honor their promises to do or fix anything. They easily can just take the virtual
money and virtually run, leaving victims to cope with the cost of repairs. So, the best defense against Cryptolocker and similar malware is prevention. Here are some tips for thwarting Ransomware: Always Be Vigilant & Suspicious – All email users always should avoid opening messages and/or clicking links from any unknown sender or un-trusted source. Because this safety protocol has been practiced by many users for years, cybercriminals use tricks such as hijacking names from email contact lists or inserting the names of known services and companies into links. Some go to the length of forging graphic identities by creating well-
known logos that appear just a little different than the legitimate brands. So, pause and inspect anything unusual. In the case of Ransomware, healthy paranoia prevents problems. Be Compulsive about Backups – Backup files as frequently as is convenient. Automated backup routines and cloud backup services are good ways of helping users be conscientious, but be certain these methods do not overwrite the same backup file every time. If malware like Cryptolocker sneaks into a system, it will use these types of services to encrypt backups, too. And then, no source of clean files will be available for restoring systems.
Don’t Go It Alone – Cyber criminals are creative and work fast. Be sure your system and all users have robust security packages installed, including anti-spam and anti-virus applications – and be sure to keep these measures updated with the latest malware information. Many IT Managed Service Providers (MSPs) offer security support and monitoring services, along with complementary offerings such as backup and storage services. Better to invest in prevention assistance than risk the costs of cyber extortion. Finally, keep in mind that smart-phones are mobile computers and are vulnerable to the same threats as laptops and desktops.

Children hula-hoop towards a creative life

listen to their body and how their body moves. It’s good for their balance, coordination and helps them keep physical fit.” Wosar concluded.
Children experiment with how to keep their hula-hoops around their waist before they learn the infinite movements they can create while hoop dancing. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)
Rosanne Fortier The Sizzlin’ Summer program twisted and turned like an ocean with infinite movements at Hawaiian Holiday at Vegreville’s Arena on July 31. Nina Wosar, owner of Infinity Hoopdance from Edmonton described her career and how hoop-dancing benefits children. “I started hoop-dancing when I saw it at a festival seven years ago. It’s different than Native American hoop dance that most people are familiar with. When people do this dancing, they use one hoop around the waist but they also try to make moves off the body; on the
arms, hands and more. I learned to hoop dance when I was 18 and I turned it from a hobby to a career because I reap so many benefits from hoopdance that I wanted to share it with other people. So, I started teaching, performing and making my own
hoops. I have owned Infinity Hoopdance for seven years. This dancing inspires children to reach for an original, interesting career. “I also do fire-dancing; people can do all kinds of tricks with hula-hoops. “This dancing is super-
Conservative record on accountability continues to right Liberal wrongs Dear Editor, Contrary to opinions made by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau in a recent letter to the editor, our Conservative Government has been committed since taking office to ensuring that government is transparent and accountable to Canadians. When we first took office, taxpayers’ trust in government was at a low because of the Liberal Sponsorship Scandal. That’s why our first order of business was the landmark Federal Accountability Act. This comprehensive anti-corruption legislation introduced important steps to strengthen accountability, and increase transparency and oversight in government operations. It put an end to corporate and union political contributions and ensured that politicians could not be “bought.” We didn’t stop there. We’ve brought in new levels of transparency to MP expendi-
tures through the MP expense disclosure form. Coupled with reduced budgets and travel as a government, the MP pension plan has been reformed, reducing the cost of ministerial travel on government aircraft by 75% compared to when the Liberals held off ice. Furthermore, we expanded the powers of Officers of Parliament and created the Conf lict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner and the Commissioner of Lobbying, brining unprecedented levels of oversight to Parliament’s operations. Now our Government is taking further action through the Open Government Action Plan. We’ve committed to a government-wide directive that will make government information and data available to the public by default unless it falls under specific criteria for exception; expanding access to Open
Data; engaging Canadians through modernized web tools; and further engaging the public on regulatory reform. And, despite what the Liberals may claim, our Plan has increased Access to Information requests over the former Liberal government
and has made them simpler for Canadians. Fourteen government departments now use the Access to Information and Privacy Request tool which, as of January, has enabled 21,000 Canadians to submit their requests online. Canadians can be confident that our Government will
continue to work on their behalf to further protect accountability in politics.
Sincerely, Leon Benoit, MP

Backyard Safety: Manage the risks During the summer months, children spend countless hours playing in their backyards. There are many potential hazards in the backyard that can result in injuries. Protect your children by managing the risks.
Survey the Yard Make sure all fence gates are self- closing and selflatching. Have a fence separate the play area from the driveway and garage.
Use only on grass. Make sure the area is free of obstacles and debris. Teach children to slide sitting up and not to walk or run on water slides.
Lawn Sprinklers/Water Slides
Sandboxes Check sandboxes regu-
larly to make sure they are in good repair, with no protruding nails or splintered wood. A sandbox cover is recommended, especially if pets roam freely in your neighbourhood. Swimming/Wading Pools Never leave children unattended in or near water. Empty and turn over anything that could pose a drowning hazard (e.g. wading pools, pails). Children can drown in less than 5 cm (2 in) of water. Fence all backyard swimming pools. The fence should be at least 1.2 m (4 ft) high and have a self-latching, self-closing gate. Dog Bites Do not leave children alone
August 18, 2014
and unsupervised with dogs. Teach children not to tease or strike any dog and to be cautious around unfamiliar dogs. Teach children not to disturb dogs, especially when they are sleeping, eating or caring for puppies. Teach children not to take toys, sticks or food from a dog. Play Equipment Actively supervise all young children. Remove drawstrings and scarves from children’s clothing. Properly secure equipment to the ground. Set up backyard swings and other play equipment on a shock-absorbing surface (i.e. sand, wood chips or pea gravel). Put railings around all decks that are more than one metre off the ground. Limit height of the equipment to less than 1.8 m (6 ft). Check equipment for gaps, worn, loose or broken parts. Teach children the basic rules of safe play. Always wear shoes. Remove bike helmets when on equipment. Slide down feet first and
sitting up. One person on the slide at a time. No pushing or horseplay on play equipment. Wait your turn. Hold on with both hands when swinging and climbing. Poisoning Store all lawnmower fuel, pool chemicals, and other hazardous substances in a locked area. Have only non-toxic plants in your yard. Lawnmowers/Power Equipment Keep children out of the yard while mowing the lawn. Do not allow passengers on a riding lawnmower. Turn off the mower if children enter the mowing area. Ensure power tools are turned off and left inoperable if they must be left unattended, even for a short time. Barbecue Basics When using a barbecue, establish a line around it that children cannot cross. Properly lock up barbecue grills, propane tanks, lighter f luid, barbecue lighters, matches, and charcoal.

Georgina Bauer, who is an 83 years-old self-taught artist, holds up a piece of her artwork that she had at her craft sale next to her residence, Vegreville Care Centre on August 2. Georgina admitted that doing crafts and artwork keeps her relaxed and content. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)
Rosanne Fortier Georgina Bauer, an 83 year-old resident at Vegreville Care Centre, believes in keeping occupied as she decorates Vegreville and the world with her crafts and artwork. On August 2, Georgina held a craft sale in a tent near this centre where all the proceeds will go into producing more artwork. Georgina said that she’s a self-taught artist who did crafts all her life but she started painting at 80 yearsold. “One of my first paintings is on a big ceiling tile
at St. Joseph’s Hospital’s emergency waiting room,” Bauer noted with pride. Georgina explained why she does this artwork. “I’ve always been a content person but I feel extra relaxed and happy when I’m creating crafts and artwork. It’s something I have to do because I need to work, I can’t sit down and do nothing. It’s essential to keep the mind active.” Georgina’s daughters and granddaughter admitted that Georgina is one busy and happy gal.

KUTRYK, Dmetro In loving memory of our dear father, grandfather and great grandfather, Dmetro, who passed away August 14, 2009. Time has passed so quickly, It’s been five years ago since, Little did we know that morning, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Lovingly, missed and always remembered by; Ed and Rose Jacula, Ernie and Jan Cheremshynski, Russell and Betty Berezanski and Anton Kutryk and their Families.

Making music gives people two-right feet Rosanne Fortier Singing, dancing and playing music is educational and contagious. It holds a magic power when a large audience participates. This was what citizens experienced during the high-spirited, interactive show of Making Music with two-time Juno Award Nominee, Mary Lambert at Vegreville Centennial Library on August 13. Mary gave a brief glimpse of her life and an outline of the show. “This is my first time in Vegreville. Before I moved to Calmar, Alberta, I resided in Kingston, Ontario. I come from a family of eight children. This is my 21st year of performing and my aim is to have every child and adult participating in my shows. “This event was sponsored by Northern Lights Library System and it is held because of the special theme this summer called, Eureka which means, I have an idea, I made it or I just learned something new. My show, Making Music, will hopefully provide a lot of Eureka’s experiences as we explore music and all the fun things we can do with it.”
Mary’s magnetism captivated the children to participate while the adults yielded to their inner-child and sang and danced along too. The stage bounced at first with Mary’s performance where she sang with expression and wore different costumes that depicted the song. Then Mary announced that people can play games with music and she asked for one adult and a set of children to come onstage. Mary sang a song which used the syllables and rhythms from each child’s name and Mary Lambert and McKenna Makowecki were the movers and shakers as they directed each dance step that the children imitated. Suitable to the day, Mary created a song, “It Ain’t Going to Rain no More” where she said with 100 percent participation, the rain always stopped. Next-in-line was the song, “The Black Fly Boogie” which drives away flies and mosquitoes. With this, everyone sang and danced. After each performance, the audience eagerly applauded.

Text of historic Canada-EU CETA reached continued CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
joint study concluded that the trade agreement with the European Union would be of significant benefit to Canada, resulting in a 20 percent boost in bilateral trade and a $12 billion increase in Canada’s annual income (GDP) – the equivalent to creating almost 80,000 new jobs or increasing the average Canadian household’s annual income by $1,000. Going forward, consent for the Agreement must be obtained from the
European Parliament. There are also plans for a visit by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the United Kingdom in September, as well as to hold a Canada-EU summit – events which will strengthen Canada’s working relationship with the EU. “Albertans will benefit directly from this CETA,” cont inued Benoit. “Throughout Alberta, hard-working people will reap benefits, especially in key sectors of the local
economy such as agriculture, metal and mineral products, machinery and equipment as well as chemical and plastic products. Albertans will enjoy more jobs, higher wages and greater long-term prosperity.” Benoit also highlighted the progress our Conservative Government has made in connecting Canadians to overseas markets. Since coming to office in 2006, the Government of Canada has put into force trade deals with Panama,

She loves colour and has been working with the animal image as her focus. Donna says that she is “working with developing balances in the tensions that exist between the figure and the environment, through relationships of colour, form and qualities of the paint itself.” Her
work has been selected in numerous art exhibitions as solo pieces and as part of group exhibitions, as well. Watson can be reached by email at dmwatson52@hotmail.com or by phone at 780-6583722.

cluded Benoit. “Talks are ongoing with the Caribbean Community, Central America Four, Dominican Republic, India, Japan, Morocco, Singapore, Ukraine, and the AsiaPacific region through the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
We are also pursuing exploratory discussions with Turkey, Thailand and MERCOSUR. Our Government understands the importance of free trade to Canada in a global marketplace.”

Tractor pulls
The mini Tractor Pulls hosted by the Vegreville Agricultural Society set a record with over 100 pullers at the 111th Annual Country Fair on August 7-9. The event was well received by participants and audiences alike, who enjoyed the challenge of the pull and maybe got in touch with their inner child in the process (at least speaking for the adults). Winners were thrilled to receive a cash prize for their efforts, and runners up vowed to do better in next year’s run. The event was made possible due to the generous sponsorships from Webb’s Machinery, Dennill’s Agricenter, Rocky Mountain Equipment, and Deerland. The organizers hope to see everyone back next year!
