’Sno joke

People in Vegreville were busily clearing their walkways, driveways and porches Friday morning after a 12-inch snowfall, coupled with blowing winds which made for some considerable drifts around town. Another 8 inches was plopped on the Town later that same day, before temperatures plunged towards the minus 30 mark. Some tackled the mountains of snow with shovels while other, more able parties lent a hand with blowers and skid steers.

Mundare inventor announces latest creation

Michael Simpson Editor Local inventor Robert Gnutel has unveiled a new creation that’s been five years in the making,

he said. The A ll Canadian Start Cart, a portable booster with regulated current that allows a vehicle’s battery to recharge from a frozen

state. “I designed the All Canadian Start Cart to be able to rescue a car or truck, a piece of heavy equipment; any thing with a battery that sits

outside in the cold weather,” Gnutel said. “I actually started by building one for myself, but people liked it, so I had a professional draw up blueprints and I lined up local suppliers for my parts to be able to make more. The All Canadian Start Cart can tell you very simply if your battery is frozen or not with a digital gauge. Trying to boost a battery that’s frozen solid can cause a small explosion that can seriously hurt someone, but the cart will unthaw a battery and charge it with regulated current and make it safe to start your vehicle. Because it’s a regulated power supply it doesn’t damage the computer in newer vehicles.”

Gnutel said he hopes to begin marketing his product to companies with vehicle f leets, at airports and for any other person who may have trouble getting their vehicles going. “I’ve

tested the cart and it works in up to -42 below zero. The basic idea is a highly reliable Subaru engine with an alternator that puts out both AC and DC current, and an electric starter. I got the idea after watching my neighbour struggle to start their vehicle and with a hint of serendipity.”

Gnutel said the best part about his product is that he sells them with a spare voltage regulator, a spare tire, and can get any part to repair it within 24 hours because of his use of commondenominator parts from local businesses. His c ompa ny, Rocket Generator, is based out of Mundare. “I waited a good while before announcing the product because I wanted to make

sure it was absolutely bullet-proof. Now that I know that’s done, I’m ready to move into sales.”

Gnutel’s 30-year background in mechanical and electrical work started in the 80’s assembling generators after completing a 4-year automotive course at a Vancouver school. Since then, he switched to working on pumps and mechanical injectors as well as small engines.

“It’s been a good mixture of skills, and at the end of the day I’m proud of what I’ve built here,” Gnutel said. “Let’s face it, in the winter, when you need your car to start, you really need it.

Anyone who is interested can call me at 780 764 4077.”

IDPD Proclaimed

Michael Simpson Editor Mayor Myron Hayduk was joined by Employabilities facilitator Derek Christensen to sign a proclamation recognizing December 3rd as the International Day for Persons with Disabilities (IDPD).

Christensen pursued the formation of a committee locally to prepare an event coinciding with IDPD. Members included Hayley Scholze, Karen Streets, Kate Pugh, Tracey Brown, and Marsha Backhouse.

This year’s theme, “Sustainable Development; the promise of technology,” focuses on methods employers can use to integrate a higher level of persons with disabilities into the workplace, Christensen said. “This can include different types of hardware and software,” he added. Alberta Human Services will host an event which will be open to the public. Clients from various agencies represented through the committee will also attend.

Christensen said that five local businesses have been nominated by the committee for their work integrating disabled persons into the workforce. A portion of the

theme for the year can include job carving, Christensen explained. “This means you can take components from different job descriptions and weave them together to create a description that matches the capabilities of a disabled worker.”

Associate Minister Naresh Bhardwaj recently described the disabled workforce as a largely under-utilized group that was diligently loyal and hardworking. Agencies in

Vegreville that work with clients from this sector include VALID, BGS Career Services, the WJ Stelmaschuk Foundation, Employabilities, and Alberta Human Services, formerly Alberta Works.

VALID Program Supervisor Karen Streets commented that the interlaced network of agencies is fuelled by strong community support in Vegreville. “Without that connection, we wouldn’t be as successful as we are.”

Smile of the

WEEK

Re:KindlingtheTELUS Christmas candle

Dear Bianca, We were very excited to hear how much the candle, up high on our radio towers, means to you and your mom. So, our TELUS elves worked extra hard over this past week to finish repairs on the old wires and replaced all the lights so it was ready in time for last night’s Christmas Light Up and Parade.

It was very exciting to see the candle lit up last night, I’m sure it can be seen from many kilometres away. Please think of this as a little gift from our TELUS family to your family and all your friends and neighbours in Vegreville.

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!

Christmas Candlelight service of remembrance Akasu Palliative Care Society Submitted On Sunday evening, December 7, 2014 at 7:00 P.M. the Vegreville Social Centre will once again be transformed into a beautifully decorated hall of celebration.

Community members, young and old, will be gathering to remember family members and friends that have passed away who will not be there during this Christmas Season.

The Christmas Season is a time of worship and a celebration of love and joy with family and friends.

Sometimes this can be a very difficult time for those of us who recently have lost a loved one.

Many sounds and sights act as reminders of the times that we have shared with a special friend or family member in past Christmas Seasons.

This will be the fifteenth annua l Christmas Candlelight Service of

Remembrance.

The Akasu Palliative Care Society spearheaded this project in 2000 in response to a need for support for people experiencing grief and loss especially at this time of year. A beautiful service will be created in a lovely setting with the active participation of Akasu Palliative Care Society, the local funeral home-Park Memorial, and the Vegreville Ministerial Association.

This year our guest

speaker will be Mary Hanson, clinical educator for Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph Hospital. Her presentation will be Mary Hanson, RN, Clinical Educator for Mary Immaculate and St. Joseph’s Hospital. Her presentation is called “Lessons learned with a focus on hope.” Mary brings many years of professional experience and personal interest in the bereavement and support of people as they grieve the loss of a loved one.

Although this Christmas Season may bring deep sadness for all of us, we can hope for a day when the pain will not be so severe and for a day when we can remember with peaceful gratitude the gift of our relationship with the person who has left us.

The funeral home will present tokens of remembrance to remind us of the loved one we are mourning at this time of year.

Following the service, a time of fellowship with kind donations of food and drink will be shared by everyone.

For further information, please call Viola BraunFox (780) 632-7495 (Home) or (780) 603-1059 (Cell).

Robert Simonowits, Assistant Superintendent for EICS said. “These awards represent many opportunities for their future. But these students are not alone in receiving these awards, for walking in the shadows of their accomplishments are their parents, guardians, principal, teachers, staff and community

who gave them support so they can be successful. I hope they continue to value relationships.”

UPCOMING EVENTS

December 1, 2014

Grocery store tour paves the way to a healthy life Rosanne Fortier Canada’s Food Guide states that wise food choices often prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis while helping a person feel and look better, giving them more energy and stronger muscles and bones.

On October 10, CALS b r o u g ht Delone Abercrombie, Registered Dietitian and Jenny Brown, Student Dietitian to inform parents on healthy food choices while they explored Vegreville’s Co-op aisleby-aisle. Parents were taught how to read food labels and the tour was interactive as they were allowed to ask questions which were fully answered.

The tour initiated with Brown telling the participants to plan a menu each week and use this to create a grocery list that is grouped according to Canada’s Food Guide (CFG). People should try not to go shopping when they are hungry, then they will only buy what they need. It was noted that it’s essential to read labels and light could mean reduced

in fat or calories but it can also be used for light in color, so be careful.

The first stop was the vegetable and fruit aisles where CFG said children need between four to six servings depending on their age, teens need seven to eight according to their gender, adults need seven to ten depending on their age and gender. One serving is half a cup of fresh, frozen or canned fruits or vegetables. “One of the general recommendations of CFG is to get at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day.

The dark green includes broccoli, romaine lettuce, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach and kale.

Orange vegetables are carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and squash. We encourage people to eat these vegetables because they have vitamin A and powerful antioxidants which are good for the eyes and skin.” Brown said.

“Frozen vegetables that aren’t in sauce or anything are just as healthy as fresh ones are but canned vegetables have to be drained and rinsed before using because they are high in sodium if this is not

done.”

“Cabbage and iceberg lettuce is not considered a dark green vegetable. So, we can’t assume we are making a healthy choice when we create a salad with these ingredients.”

Abercrombie added.

“Children have really sensitive taste buds so parents might have to gradually introduce Brussels sprouts or broccoli with repeated exposure so they develop a taste for it. They can add small amounts in other foods, sauté it or add dip.” Brown said when asked what to do with children who can’t stand certain vegetables.

Fruit leather and dried fruit bites were hanging in the corners. “When we eat these fruit leathers, even if they don’t have any added

sugars when they are dehydrated we tend not to watch how much we eat and we land up eating tons of naturally occurring sugars, which still has glucose.

Then lots of the nutrients have been removed from it except for fiber and a few vitamins. They stick to the teeth and can cause decay.”

Brown mentioned.

With fruit juices, people should purchase 100% juice with no sugar added and keep their consumption to half a glass a day because these are still high in natural sugar.

The next aisle was milk and milk products where children need two to four servings depending on their ages, teens require three to four servings and adults need two or three.

Using the Manuel approach to wellness Michael Simpson Editor Liona Manuel’s move with her husband from Markham north of Toronto to Vegreville was a chance to start new in more ways than one. Aside from exchanging the metropolitan bustle for the small urban backdrop of Town, she capitalized on the local business development center and got her new Naturopathic Medicine practice up and running this March.

Located downtown just off Highway 16A inside the VBDC, Manuel to Health Naturopathic Center is a privately operated practice that uses a natural approach towards health promotion and prevention. The practice of naturopathic medicine is gaining traction in North America as an alternative to Allopathic medicine. “The whole philosophy behind it is different,” Liona explained.

“The focus is on stimulating the healing powers of the body and treating the underlying cause of a sickness rather than masking the symptom with medication.

There’s also a focus on prevention and general health maintenance.”

In completing her training as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, Liona spent four years doing pre-medical studies with a minor in music. “That was going to be my other career,” she laughed, adding that her name was that of one of her parents’ favourite artists, classical guitar player Liona Boyd. “My career as a pop singer didn’t take off, so I majored in Bio-Chemistry instead.” After that, she undertook another four years in naturopathic medicine, eventually mentoring under an oncologist and developing a specialty in IV training and Injection Therapy. Not requiring a referral, as a private health practitioner, Liona’s hourly treatments are often covered instead by extended healthcare coverage. Liona is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor registered with the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta, certif ied in Darkfield Microscopy and Heavy Metal Detoxification She stresses that with naturopathic treatments, along with many other therapies she offers including homeopathic medicine, diet and nutrition, acupuncture and Asian medicine, Cancer care, diabetes care and a general family practice, patients who visit often have more control over how their treatments go, which includes a thorough inter-

view to gain back history.

“Patients are offered individualized treatments, which includes getting to know their story. There’s always environmental factors that can change a person’s health, and this small step can make a big difference. The best advice people can have is to not wait until a disease process takes hold. It’s easier to treat someone before they’re sick.”

Potential clients can visit her website, www.m2hnc.ca for more information, or call (587) 280 9888.

Loving you always Forgetting you never.

We miss you, your loving family

Mildred Alice Ethel Gillyean (Trimble) nee Tuck 1916 - 2014 Mildred passed away on Nov. 22, 2014 at the age of 98. Her desire to keep living, her courage, and her strength were heroic as she rallied, from setbacks, many times.

She leaves to cherish her memory: Myrna (Mickey) Bendixen of Lloydminster; Daughter In Law: Annette Trimble of St. Paul; Children Gail Trimble of Vegreville, Hazel Rodwell of Sherwood Park, Wade (Carolyn) Trimble of Abbotsford, Stella (Larry) Dalsto of Medicine Hat and Marvin (Nina) Trimble of Sherwood Park; Step-Daughters: Auriel Tejas and Beth Van Horne (Lee) of Edmonton; Brother Max (Ruth) Tuck of Burlington, Ont.; Sister-in-law: Helen Tuck of Regina; Special nephew Glen (Anne) Trimble of Leduc; along with many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.

Mildred was predeceased by Husbands Ormy Trimble and John Gillyean; Son Orvil; Granddaughter Dawn Davies; Brothers Hollis and Glen Tuck; Sisters Velma (Bunny) White, Eva Loepka (Albers) and Jean Weeks; Son In Law Art Rodwell; Sister In Law Mary Gillyean.

Mildred Alice Ethel was born on a farm near Lavoy to Jack and Jesse Tuck on August 4, 1916. Her early years were spent in Lavoy. She married Perley Ormand (Ormy) Trimble in 1937 and moved to the farm just west of Vegreville. They raised 7 children. After Ormy passed away in 1964 she continued to live in Vegreville until accepting a job in Lloydminster. There she met John Gillyean and they were married in 1972.

They farmed north of Lloydminster and the family has fond memories of many Thanksgiving gatherings. After living there for 10 years, John’s failing health caused them to move into Lloydminster. He passed away in 1993. An addition was made to the house on the farm and Mildred moved back to Vegreville in 2001. She continued to reside on the Trimble farm with her son, Gail and grandson, Richard until her failing health made it necessary to move into care facilities; 2007 she was in Mundare and then early in 2009 she moved to Century Park in Vegreville. She was a United Church attendee and belonged to the United Church Women’s Auxiliary both in Vegreville and Lloydminster. Family was always her priority and she enjoyed having the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren around her. She wanted to be kept up to date on all their happenings.

Her life was devoted to caring for others, giving generously of her time and possessions.

Mildred enjoyed cooking, gardening, and grew the best African violets.

Quilting was another of her passions. The family members have at least one of her handmade quilts in their homes. She, often, had a jigsaw puzzle on the go. The nightly visits from her son, Gail, were the highlight of her day and when playing cribbage, they shared their news.

A Funeral Service will be held on Monday, December 1, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. at the Vegreville United Church with Reverend Carolyn Woodall officiating.

Interment to follow in Riverside Cemetery. Lunch to follow.

She asked that donations be made to the Vegreville Breakfast Club or to a charity of your choice.

Mildred, your work is done and done well.

“One thing we want to be aware of in milk alternatives is the fat content.

When you pick out a block of cheese, you must check the milk fat percentage label. What we recommend is less than 20% which would be in the low fat cheese option.” Brown stated. “Processed cheese is not as healthy as block cheese because of the extra additives and sodium added. Cream cheese should be considered a treat similar to cream because it’s high in fat and doesn’t have a lot of nutrients.”

With yogurt, it was advised to go for the lower fat version and to make sure that it is probiotic yogurt because this is essential for a person’s intestinal health; it keeps the healthy bacteria in.

When we take antibiotics, this destroys the good bacteria in our intestine so it’s wise to make sure to eat yogurt with probiotics in it. Then sucralose or other artificial sweeteners are safe for adults when its used in small dosage in food but it’s not recommended for children. It’s best to buy plain yogurt and puree fruit into it.”

Abercrombie added.

“For milk, it’s best to go for the lower fat milk options except for children under two years-old, and then you should choose whole milk products.”

At the margarine and butter section, Brown

explained that they are both 100% fat and the butter is higher in saturated fat, which tends to raise a person’s cholesterol level.

Non-hydrogenated margarine is the best to buy for your heart’s health.

Eggs reached everyone’s eyes next which falls into the meat and alternative section where the CFG recommends children to consume one to two servings, teens need two to three and adults should have two to three. Brown said that eggs should be fully cooked and omega three eggs are the healthiest choice. “If you had a couple of eggs every other day, you are reaching your maximum for dietary cholesterol.”

With meat, the general recommendations is to choose leaner options for ground beef, remove the skin from poultry and trim the visible fat from other meat and use cooking methods such as roasting, baking or poaching. A serving of meat is only the size of the palm of your hand. “Eat at least two servings of fish a week because fish is high in healthy fats such as omega three which is good for brain, eye and skin’s health.

It’s also high in protein.

Char herring, mackerel, salmon and trout are good varieties of fish. Beware that certain types of tuna are high in mercury.”

The processed meat aisle was the next destination.

fat content, sodium, and things on the label that says ‘nitrate’ or ‘sodium nitrates,’ which are known carcinogens. The natural ones have celery extract which is pretty much the same thing.” Brown said.

It was suggested to have meat alternatives such as beans, lentils and tofu often because then a person gets all the same nutrients without the fat or sometimes, additives added to meat. “One of the greatest foods is beans.” Brown mentioned.

For grain products, the CFG says that children should have three to six a

day depending on their ages, teens need six to seven and adults are recommended to have six to eight based on their age and gender. Then people should make at least half of their grain products whole grain each day which includes barley, brown rice, oats, quinoa, couscous, and wild rice. “For cereal, it’s best to choose the ones with lots of fiber and have low sugar content but with kids, it’s advisable to mix their favorite cereals with a healthy cereal choice.”

Brown said. “Then we should choose grain products that are lower in fat,

sugar or salt.”

It was noted that canned soups are high in sodium, so it’s important to read the ingredients before purchasing them. You can reduce sodium by making your own with parsley, oregano, garlic, onions and other seasonings. People can include a small amount of healthy added oil to their diets with 2 to 3 Tbsp of vegetable oils such as canola, olive, peanut, saff lower, sunf lower, soya, and corn oil. It’s wise to lower a person’s intake of jam, jelly, syrup, candies, chocolate bars, pop, energy drinks, potato chips, cook-

ies, donuts, pies and cakes which provide calories and fat but have little nutritional value.

The CFG also stated to drink plenty of water and to have more water when it’s hot outside or you’re active. It’s advisable to have at least two and a half hours of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week and that children and youth accumulate at least 60 minutes per day and you don’t have to do it all at once, choose a variety of activities spread throughout the week.

National Safe Driving Week: It’s not just alcohol that impairs Canada Safety Council Submitted December 1 to 7 is National Safe Driving Week, and the Canada Safety Council is reminding Canadians that it’s not just alcohol that impairs.

Driving is such a daily activity, we can easily forget that it’s a complex task requiring skill, concentration and alertness. In the rush from Point A to Point B, we may not always be mindful of the responsibility involved in piloting two tons of moving steel, glass and plastic. Given the potentially deadly consequences of doing a poor job, doesn’t it make sense to bring your best self to the task?

By now, we all know that drinking and driving is a bad idea. But what about drugs and driving?

Let’s focus on the effects of weed (marijuana or cannabis) because it’s one of the most common illicit drugs found in drivers after a deadly crash.

You might think: “Smoking weed helps me concentrate. Plus, I drive slower. Doesn’t that make me a better driver?”

The truth is any safety ben-

efit you might get from driving slower is more than outweighed by the additional risk of slower reaction times, foggier thinking, and altered time perception you experience when high on weed.

“I just had a little to drink and a couple puffs. I feel fine to drive.”

The reality is alcohol has a “multiplicative” effect on other drugs. That means having a drink if you’ve also had some weed results in far greater impairments than taking either alone. So even if you haven’t consumed enough liquor to blow over at a Checkstop, if you’ve got weed in the system, your driving will be as bad as someone who has had far more to drink.

Drivers who are high on marijuana tend to compensate by driving more slowly and leaving more follow distance.

This behaviour disappears when the driver has a drink, because alcohol makes them feel less impaired even though they are more impaired.

If you have taken weed and alcohol, just don’t drive.

“I really don’t feel that tok-

ing and driving is as bad as drinking and driving.”

Eating a Sloppy Joe while driving might be safer than texting and driving, but ultimately, they’re both dangerous. The same goes with drug-impaired driving and drunk driving. They’re both risky behaviours that significantly increase the chances of the story ending badly.

Drug Impaired Driving and the Law It’s illegal to operate a motorized vehicle if your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs, whether illegal or legal drugs, prescription or over-the-counter.

That vehicle could be a car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, snowmobile or boat, and it doesn’t even have to be moving – you could be charged under the Criminal Code if you’re the one with the keys behind the wheel.

If a police officer suspects you of having taken drugs, or a combination of alcohol and drugs, you could be required to undergo testing to determine if you are impaired.

Failure to comply with the

request for testing results in charges similar to alcoholimpaired driving.

In addition to criminal charges, drug-impaired drivers also face penalties that vary by province, and the type of licence the driver holds.

These penalties include immediate roadside suspensions, impounding of the vehicle, loss of your licence and steep fines.

Don’t drive impaired Plan ahead. Have a designated driver, arrange a ride in advance, or call a cab.

Socialize responsibly.

Before getting behind the wheel, ask yourself: “Am I safe to drive?” It’s not just alcohol that can impair your ability to drive.

Friends don’t let friends drive impaired - have the conversation that could save a life.

In a 2013 report, the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse found that many youth interviewed in focus groups believe it’s okay to use marijuana and drive.

Even among those who didn’t condone this behaviour, many

believed smoking up before driving to be safer than drinking and driving. One of the more alarming findings, echoed in surveys done in other countries, is the common belief that marijuana use actually improves driving ability.

There is also a perception that drug-impaired drivers are less likely to get caught by police. While it is true that there is currently no analog to the breathalyzer currently used to detect drunk drivers, changes to federal regulations since 2008 have made it easier for police to press charges against suspected impaired drivers. Anyone suspected of being impaired behind the wheel can be subjected to road-side sobriety tests, and more and more officers are becoming drug recognition experts (DRE) able to conduct these tests.

This year, motor vehicle collisions will probably claim at least 2,000 lives in Canada, or about five or six people a day. In addition, 10,000 more will be seriously injured, many of whom will be permanently disability. Most of

these collisions are preventable.

According to coroners’ testing on drivers who died in crashes, more than half tested positive for either drugs or alcohol or both. Between 2000 and 2007, 36.6 per cent of drivers who died in crashes tested positive for alcohol, and 33 per cent tested positive for at least one of seven categories of drugs known to have a negative impact on the ability to operate a vehicle safely. A worrisome trend shows that while the percentage of fatally injured drivers testing positive for alcohol has remained f lat over the last few years, the percentage testing positive for drugs seems to be increasing over time. The most commonly detected illicit drug in fatally injured drivers was cannabis.

The Canada Safety Council is an independent, knowledge-based, charitable organization dedicated to the cause of safety. We provide national leadership in safety through information, education and collaboration. We are Canada’s voice and resource for safety.
