RCMP files from July 2 - 8 Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser July 2 07:55 – Vehicle pulled over because registration was showing expired.

Pioneering in Heritage Adventures
(Emily Mailhot/Photo)
Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser The Vegreville Ukrainian Pysanka Festival is a known destination for exciting experiences of the Ukrainian culture, and the grandstand shows, food, and folk art venues all do well to immerse their guests in the colourful, rich tapestry of Ukrainian-Albertan culture and history. This year, the Pioneer village offered a more handson taste of Ukraine, with flour-making, blacksmithing, leatherworking, ropemaking, and bread baking in the peeche outdoor clay ovens. The flour-making demonstration was given by Steve Orleski, with the Vegreville Cultural Association’s flour mill wagon. Inside the wagon, he showed festival guests how the mill was run, and the flour that was made as a result. “This mill (owned by the Vegreville Cultural Association) is operated with a switch.” Explained Orleski, “Once the mill starts running, a cement weight keeps the grinding stones together, so that they can grind the wheat into flour.” Orleski would then show guests the newly-ground flour, which had been separated from the bran at the other end of the mill. In addition to the blacksmithing demonstration, special guest John Babcock, Blacksmith Poet, was available with poems from his large collection of poetry based off of his experiences working and instructing in blacksmithing. Sky Hofos lead a leatherworking demonstration, and a presentation of belts, bracers, spur straps, wallets, and other leather goods that he has made. (Significance to Ukrainian pioneers.) For the bread baking demonstration in the peeche outdoor clay ovens were heated up by hot coals, which are removed once the bricks lining the oven reach a high enough temperature. The oven then holds onto the heat. “Once the bread dough has risen, it bakes in the peeche ovens for forty-five minutes,” explained demonstrator Brian Esak. Many attendees came to the pioneer village to enjoy the taste of the fresh bread that was made in the peeche ovens. The flour used for the bread was freshly ground in the flourmill onsite.

Do As I Say (NOT as I Do) Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser - Opinion The PM’s visit Saturday, July 7th to the Calgary Stampede must have been worse than a week of bad hair days. Thankfully he was adorned in the appropriate garb and had on a nice stampede hat. “Every situation is different. People understand that”, said the PM. After turfing 2 MP’s over allegations of inappropriate behavior and previously stating that in matters of sexual inappropriateness it was a black and white world, the rules suddenly change. A little more grey this time around. If you have not heard, this past Friday, Prime Minister Trudeau was asked to explain his actions with regards to an 18-year-old allegation that he groped a reporter when compared to how he has dealt with others facing similar accusations. This time it is a little greyer. “Every situation is different. People understand that”, stated the PM. Attempting to draw on his best Drama Teacher training, he has tried a few approaches. First, he did not “remember any negative interactions” that day. Next up... Trudeau says that he did not act inappropriately and that men and women can experience “interactions” differently. Now, we are being told we need to become more aware and “we all need to learn to respect and understand things differently”.
OK... I get it. You are in a position of power, a female (reporter) is within grabbing distance, you pounce like some dirt bag and suddenly we need to learn that we understand things differently? What a hypocrite. Turn back the clock to the time in question at the 2000 Kokanee Summit Music Festival when the then 28-yearold Trudeau was accused by a reporter with the Creston Valley Advance of “inappropriately handling” and “groping” her. An editorial in the paper detailed the incident and quoted Trudeau as saying “I’m sorry. If I had known you were reporting for a national paper I would never have been so forward.” This sounds a lot like someone saying to a police officer “if I knew you were a cop, I wouldn’t have been speeding”. One has to ask themselves where this self-proclaimed champion and defender of women’s rights threshold lays. After all, his cabinet is gender-balanced and he cries and tells people he’s a good person. Maybe if there is a camera in the room or the woman within reach is in a position of power, he has respect, but if she is in the service industry or NOT a reporter for a national paper it’s open season. What is worse, if this young lady was NOT a reporter, it is very likely nothing more would have become of it. Another silent victim. One can only imagine how many more women

Children’s Rights Dear Editor, Re: Children are Threatened when Secrets are Kept from Parents by John Carpay While I could probably argue with every paragraph of Mr. Carpay’s editorial except his paragraph outlining the positions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights regarding parents and children, I choose to argue his paragraph where he speaks hypothetically about “abusive parents” not being informed about their children’s participation in a Gay/ Straight Alliance at their school. How, Mr. Carpay, do you define an abusive parent? Under the law (1985 in Alberta), children are protected when the state knows they are being abused. There are parents out there who are not deemed abusive, who are pillars of society and in their religions, who will not tolerate the thought of possibly having a gay child. E.g. in Utah there is a center/ school where these children are sent to “repent” and be

Prairie Tails Receives Donations from a Vegreville Garage Sale
Connie Brown Prairie Tails Animal Rescue Society July 2 (Vegreville) – Prairie Tails Animal Rescue Society in Vegreville gratefully accepted a donation in the amount of $802.50 from June Kuly. June held a week-long garage sale and donated all of the sales to our Rescue.
June spent countless hours collecting and pricing items prior to the garage sale and her hard work has not gone unnoticed! In the 2.5 months that we have been operating, we have had 35 animals come through our doors. The majority of these animals have been cats and currently, we have approximately 20
cats/kittens up for adoption and/or requiring foster homes. Our not for profit Rescue is volunteer ran and all cash and in-kind donations are gratefully accepted.

90 Years Ago – July 11, 1928
The new highway to Edmonton is being graded up rapidly but will not be in use until fall, if then. From a casual view of it, the work is being done quite satisfactorily. From Vegreville westward, the highway to Edmonton will follow the usual course to Chipman. From the end of the road, three-quarters of mile west of Chipman, the grade then follows the south side of the Canadian National to a point two miles north-west of Lamont; thence along the road two miles south of Bruderheim to the Canadian Pacific, WillingdonEdmonton extension; thence alongside the C.P.R. to the line between townwhips 54 and 55; thence straight west to Fort Saskatchewan, where connection is made with the gravelled highway into Edmonton. A change in weather has made the roads around Ryley almost impassible. The rain was needed for the good of the grain, but the farmers feel they have had sufficient rain now to last them for a while. Mrs. Edith Farrow has purchased the Beauty Parlor of Mr. A. E. Paget and is moving to the Bice building (upstairs). Mrs. Farrow is thoroughly experienced and plans to give the ladies of Vegreville and district real city service.
75 Years Ago – July 14, 1943
Prices have been fixed for all grades and varieties of jams and jellies. Regional price differences have been levelled by a recent Wartime Prices and Trade Board order, prices will be generally those of the basic period. To achieve this, manufacturers will be paid two subsidies to compensate them, the first for the increase in price of fresh fruits this year, and the second for a roll back in prices to the 1941 level. Although a recent order to the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has eliminated 140 items from the total of 357 types of farm hand forks, hand hooks, hoes and hand cultivators, there are still 200 items which will be manufactured. The Board measure is designed to standardize and simplify manufacture of this equipment to conserve steel for war purposes. Essential items are all being retained, officials state, and quality will not be allowed to suffer. Donald McCallum of Edmonton, has accepted the position of commercial teacher in the high school in succession to Miss Barlow, who resigned recently.
50 Years Ago – July 11, 1968
Town water and storm sewer construction was started last week and is moving along very well. Water lines are being replaced on 49th Avenue from 49th Street of 55th Avenue (abut 54th street) and on 51st Avenue from 50th street to 52nd Street. Mr. Russell Goshko was re-elected by acclamation as the Alberta Wheat Pool delegate for Vegreville Sub Distirct no. 603. There is no legal barrier to stop you right now from chartering an airliner to fly anywhere in Canada and filling it up by openly selling tickets. The Financial Posts reports. You can forget about all that business of trying to make your passengers look like a group that has been in existence at least six months. This is one of the results of a surprising Supreme Court ruling recently that found the Air Transport Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission did not have the legal authority to issue its various general orders governing aviation activities. Vegreville Fish and Game and Gun Club held their annual picnic on June 23rd. this was in conjunction with a crow and magpie shoot during the day, with picnic starting at 6:00 p.m. Many events made the evening move along. Races for the kids, hot dogs and pop, supper and horseshoes for the adults, and a pole height guessing contest for all.
25 Years Ago – July 13, 1993
Rick Cymbaluk, a plumber for the Environment Centre, had taken his hobby to a new dimension, creating a paper mache and fiberglass mallard for the Town of Andrew. The creation will be the highlight of a float for the town, and measures 13 feet by 11 feet and weighs 400 pounds. Allison Peel of Vegreville is the latest Vegreville youth to take part in the Rotary Club’s exchange program. “I applied (for the program) primarily because I knew Taneen Fox and kept in touch when she went to Japan,” said Peel. At present, the Mannville RCMP detachment is investigating a series of arsons which occurred at the Innisfree recreation park administration building and washroom centre. Several Molitoff cocktails were thrown against and into the building causing extensive damage. Two similar incidents were also reported at two Innisfree businesses in which case bottles were thrown against a building and small utility trailer. Had the fire not been discovered by a local citizen who them extinguished the blaze, damage could have been serious, particularly to the building.

Compelled Speech Compromises Basic Rights Peter Stockland Senior writer – Cardus In a crucial free speech ruling recently, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed that the constitution in that country prohibits forcing people to say what they don’t believe. Here in Canada, a young Ottawa lawyer upped the ante recently by filing a Federal Court lawsuit arguing that our Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the right to believe nothing. The case before the highest court of our southern neighbours involved a California law obliging pro-life pregnancy care centres to provide clients with information about abortion. The majority said the law offended the foundations of free speech, freedom of conscience and freedom of belief. “Governments must not be allowed to force persons to express a message contrary to their deepest convictions,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote. “Freedom of speech secures freedom of thought and belief. This law imperils those liberties.” Ottawa lawyer Albertos Polizogopoulos took that expression to its logical conclusion: the freedom to hold and express our deepest convictions necessarily includes deeply holding or expressing no convictions whatever. “The right to freedom of expression includes the right to say nothing,” Polizogopoulos says in the suit filed on behalf of the company Sarnia Concrete.
“Similarly, the right to freedom of thought, belief and opinion include the right to have no thought, belief or opinion on specific matters, particularly controversial moral, ethical, social and political matters unrelated to one’s business.” In this case, the business of Sarnia Concrete is making concrete. It is not, Polizogopoulos argues in the filing, in the business of involving itself in abstract political beliefs about abortion or sexual minority rights. Sarnia Concrete makes the stuff of sidewalks. It doesn’t involve itself in who parades on them singing songs and carrying signs that mostly say hooray for our side. Yet last winter, when the company’s owners applied for a Canada Summer Jobs grant to allow them to hire a student, they were told they would have to tick a box affirming their support for “reproductive rights” and a gender-diverse society. “What ho!” they said, or words to that effect. “This is not our business.” And they left the box un-ticked. In the tick of a clock by bureaucratic standards, a mere 11 days in real time, they were advised the application was incomplete and would have to be resubmitted with the box filled. Their follow-up appeal to their Charter rights to say nothing went nowhere. “The decision to reject Sarnia Concrete’s application, and to not accommodate (its) Charter rights violates the Charter, and the duty of state neutrality,” the lawsuit says in asking the federal court to award both the amount of the summer

Inflatable Equipment vs. Summer Heat Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertisers From the beginning of this month, the tragic story from overseas of Ava-May Littleboy has been circulating news and social media platforms and has caused a slight ruckus among parenting circles. On July 1st, in an unfortunate accident with an inflatable, the summer heat caused it to explode, leaving Ava-May unconscious. After a trip to the emergency room in her hometown of Norfolk, U.K., and brief hospitalization, the threeyear-old child died surrounded by parents and loved ones. Now, this “freak accident” has been ruled out as a case that will likely recur. However, there are still parents around the globe who are concerned – and rightfully so. While everyone knows that there are risks of minor injury, inflatable playgrounds have been – up to this point – widely acknowledged as safe, as long as one follows the rules and keeps their kids in check. Reg Tiedemanm from Tofield’s RLT Technologies spoke to the News Advertiser, to help make sense of the specifics. Because most inflatables need to have a blower on them at all times in order to keep them full of air, there is typically no need for a posted maximum heat. “Because of the material and the seams on most of the inflatable equipment one would usually see at events, inflatables such as bouncy houses need the airflow to keep them inflated,” Tiedemanm explained. “We do have a track that is airtight. I guess if you filled that to full capacity and then moved it into high heat it could potentially explode. But these things are huge… I don’t know how that would be possible.”
Other, less bizarre safety guidelines should always be posted on inflatables. “It’s no different from driving cars,” said Tiedemanm in regards to following the posted guidelines. “If you don’t follow the rules, you could get hurt.” In regards to Bouncy Castle Safety, Child Safety Link suggests this guideline: • Children should remove shoes, jewelry, and any hard or sharp objects from their pockets • Children should always be supervised by a responsible adult • Only allow one child in the bounce house at a time • If there’s more than one child, group them together according to size to help reduce the risk of injury from a collision • Discourage children from doing stunts like flips or somersaults • Keep them away from exit points while bouncing around inside • If it begins to lose air, exit immediately • Do not use a bounce house outside if there are high winds These guidelines should be followed on inflatable equipment unless otherwise posted. It should also be noted that while the summer heat is unlikely to reach the kind of high temperature that is fatal to an inflatable play area (especially in our Albertan climate), heat stroke and sunburn can also be dangerous in summer weather. When playing outside, Health Canada suggests staying hydrated, dressing in loose-fitting, light coloured clothing, taking frequent breaks from the heat, and avoiding sun exposure.

Compelled speech - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 jobs grant and legal costs. Sarnia Concrete is one of a group of companies that have banded together under the name Free To Do Business. Its purpose is to launch more legal challenges on purely business grounds to the Canada Summer Jobs attestation requirement and to raise awareness of what spokesperson Tamara Jansen called “shocking overreach” by the federal government. Jansen, a B.C.-based business owner, told a press conference on Parliament Hill that there’s even more at stake than the vital right to say nothing. “We’re fighting for equitable access to small business programs,” Jansen says. “The whole point is to ask that businesses be allowed to take a neutral stand.” Jansen acknowledged that as a business owner, she’s involved in a variety of causes, including efforts to protect palliative care centres in B.C.’s Fraser Valley from forcibly providing “medical aid in dying.” But she said she keeps personal convictions out of company decisions. “Consider what would happen to a business owner who had this exact same values test as part of their hiring protocol,” she said. “Imagine the uproar if we asked potential employees about their
thoughts on reproductive rights as part of our interview process.” Jansen also stressed that if the Canada Summer Jobs precedent holds, it won’t be long before other government agencies are mixing public funds and political preferences. “Canadians need to be aware that compelled speech will expand if this goes unchallenged,” she said. Nothing might come of nothing but as our southern neighbours remind us, a great deal will come from being forced to say something you don’t even want to think about.

Back To School S/Sgt Jerry Nutbrown RCMP Ponderings - Vegreville Never mind the fact that Christmas is a mere 6 months away, summer will soon be over and it will be back-to-school. I am not going to talk about back to school stuff because no one would remember much of it by then. Today I just want to remind everyone to have a safe and secure summer and there are a number of things everyone can do to help this. If you have young children there are a number of things you can do to help them be safe. Make sure they are wearing helmets when riding bicycles and scooters. Not only do they need helmets, but approved non-damaged helmets. If your child has had some falls and their helmet has been impacted make sure you are checking it over once in a while as the effectiveness is reduced with use. If they are going somewhere ensure that they check in when they arrive. This is not because of a possible abduction, as these are very rare, but in case of an accident or even if the child gets lost. As they are going about their business make sure they know the rules of
the road for bikes and/or pedestrians. Motorists are also reminded that there will be more children and youth out-and-about so stay alert. If the children/youths are lucky enough to have any motorized fun this summer make sure it is all conducted in a safe and supervised manner. Boats, motorbikes and the like require safety gear so ensure this is available and worn. As well, ensure any mode of transport is operated in a safe manner complying with all laws and regulations. If you are coming from a lake or other rural type area you may want to check your vehicle interior if you don’t like wasps, bees or bulldogs (this what horseflies are called in Manitoba) flying about when you are driving. Do this as part of a walk-around of your vehicle/trailer/boat before you hit the road. Include checking over any hitches and safety chains if you are towing something or straps if you are hauling anything. Once you get your property home or to the lake, make sure to secure it from any potential thieves. Lock up your vehicles, remove your gear from your boat, lock your trailer when you are away from it
and keep all your camping items tucked away so they aren’t easy to steal. Lakes are a common place where people let down their guard as they relax and enjoy the warm weather. On long-haul driving or flying trips, again, keep your property close and secure. Depending on where you are going there are likely thieves and scammers operating so don’t let your guard down because you are visiting Mickey or swimming with dolphins. If you are crossing any country borders make sure you know what you are allowed to take with you. Not everything that is legally available in a particular country is legal in all other countries. If you are visiting relatives in the United States make sure to take them some ketchup chips and Cheezies because remember, they don’t have them down there. We want all the kids to be moaning and groaning at the beginning of September as they wake up for their first day of school for the new school year - rather than relieved, because of some unfortunate incident over the summer. Have a fun and safe summer everyone!

Summer Sights in the Country
An already-baled hay crop in Beaver County, north of Holden. (Emily Mailhot/Photos)
Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser Though springtime had a slow start, with a steady snowfall finally ceasing at the end of April, summer is well underway and the canola, hay, wheat, and other crops are flourishing as the season progresses. In some fields, hay farmers are in the process of the first cut and bale of the season. All over the region, canola fields fill the landscape with signature bright yellow as the plants reach full-flower. Livestock has gotten comfortable with their lives out to green pastures, and all over the province, routine rodeo-goers have many opportunities to be a part of the western heritage-based rodeo events each weekend. Collected here are some snapshots from each of the counties in our circulation range.

do as i say - CONTINUED from PAGE 4 he acted this way with who remain silent. How is this man, OUR PM, any better than the “Harvey Weinstein’s” of the world? Hopefully the lack of adoring fans and selfies at the Calgary Stampede (July 6-15) will cause the PM to “reflect” a little more. Deficits, spending and policy aside, maybe voters will also reflect and ask themselves if this is the leader we want for the top position in Canada. Other leaders have been put out to pasture for far less.
By the time you read this, the PM will have left the Stampede, but the stench of hypocrisy will not leave Calgary for some time.

Zustreech Ukrainian Society’s at Pysanka Festival Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent People had a chance to get serious and help others amidst all the celebrations at Vegreville Pysanka Festival as Zustreech had a booth near the grandstand on July 6, 7, and 8. People asked questions of the Zustreech’s volunteers about what their donations or money from items they purchased would support. The volunteers replied that everything collected would be going to help the military and medical staff provide care at the Rehabilitation Hospital in Eastern Ukraine. Many soldiers and people involved in the war in Eastern Ukraine need medical aid. The funds will also be used to provide an off-road transport vehicle for various military aid, to give psychological assistance when necessary, and support military and others involved in many much-needed ways.
Zustreech’s volunteers speak to people who are considering making a donation to the cause that gives medical aid and helps other peaceful war efforts. (Rosanne Fortier/photo)
Locally Acclaimed Musician Returns for Recording Debut Mike Barter Submitted Singer-Song Writer and recording artist, Matthias Barter, has laid plans to set out on a 3-show Edmonton area performance tour. Born to Mike and Michele Barter, Matthias moved with his family into the Lamont area at the age of 4 where he grew up among his 8 siblings. He was home schooled through to the end of high school, he took an interest in playing the guitar, and is self-taught. His ability and talent grew during the years that he attended King’s University in Edmonton, where he received a Bachelor of Psychology. Along with his musical skills, his charming wit and sense of humour matured
and brought much joy and laughter to his family and friends. Through introspection on his experiences of life and relationships, Matthias’ ability to craft lyrics combined with his musical talent has given birth to many heartfelt songs. Those who have been to Matthias’ coffee-shop style shows in the Lamont County area regard his musical style as “an embodiment of the essence of a coffee shop setting.” His performance style is quite relaxed and yet refreshing, as he delights his audiences with his own compositions and brief, down-to-earth anecdotes. Previous shows included playing twice at Beans Coffee Shop in Wetaskiwin, Mundare Rec Ctr, and twice in Chipman. People have come from as far as Red Deer, Vermillion, Spruce Grove, Two Hills, and points in between to take in his show and none have gone away disappointed. A local business owner was quite taken with Matthias’ talent, expressing eagerness to buy his 1st album when it came out. The same was echoed by a young lady from Sylvan Lake, as well as looking forward to hearing him again. Matthias also has played a number of open mics mostly in the Ottawa area and some in Alberta during his university years. He has opened a couple of shows for an artist friend of his both in Ottawa and Toronto. Listeners at Matthias’ concerts usually fit into the coffee shop setting and the more intimate and smaller in numbers suit him just fine. He has played to 50+ audience members in Chipman on previous occasions and anticipates the same with many returning to hear him again. It would be thrilling to move from the smaller room booked in Veg to the bigger room next door, but his music still has to make its inroads to people’s listening habits – a journey that has already been set into motion. Having recently completed his first recording project, Matthias hopes to complete his second album by early 2019. ‘Coffee Shop’, ‘Outside’, and ‘Sleeping’ are titles of his signature songs and always a joy to hear. “ I have a lot of appreciation for growing up in a smaller community,” says Matthias, “remembering one’s roots, and sharing life’s experiences – heartbreaks and joys – with family and friends. It’s good to be home!” Venues on his East-of-Edmonton ‘An Evening with Matthias’ tour include Chipman and Vegreville.

Hairy Hill Rodeo Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On July 6 and 7, the Hairy Hills Agricultural Society, the Hairy Hill Elks Lodge, and the Rolling Hills Rodeo Co. banded together to put on the 30th annual Hairy Hill Rodeo, an event co-sanctioned by the Lakeland Rodeo Association (LRA), and the Wildrose Rodeo Association (WRA) Hairy Hill is a hamlet in the county of Two Hills, whose name was inspired by the buffalo hair that used to accumulate in the area, back when buffalo roamed the hills in that region. In spite of this amusing historical tie, it’s the annual rodeo that they are widely remembered for, with over 100 guests from within and beyond Two Hills County camping on-site to enjoy the rodeo festivities. The rodeo events featured at the Hairy Hills rodeo included standard sports such as bull riding, bronc riding, ladies, junior, and PeeWee barrel racing, team roping, and others. Also included were ranch rodeo favourites such as wild horse races, wild cow milking, and a whiskey race, and mutton busting and wild
pony races for the children at intermissions. Both nights of rodeo action were tied off with a dance in the beer garden, and Saturday ended with lawnmower races in the arena.

Fast Facts Mark Down
Dear Classified Guys, Any woman knows you don't wear white after Labor Day. We instinctually know that things change with the season. Why is it my husband can't figure out this concept when it comes to selling things in the classifieds? He's relatively good about selling stuff he no longer needs rather than letting them fill the garage. I can't complain on that front. However, I think his timing is off for getting the best price. For instance, he sold his snow blower just after the cold weather broke with a warm trend. Last year he sold our ski boat in the fall when the weather started turning cold. He thought that he'd get a better price offseason since there are fewer boats advertised at that time of year. Seems so silly to me. I mean who buys a sweater when it's bikini season? Maybe you guys can confirm my belief so my husband hears it from someone else.

pants. Otherwise, we'd have to worry about coordinating colors. Carry: Now although your husband's timing may be off, the good news is he's willing to keep the garage cleaned out. There are probably many women who would envy you on that alone. Cash: But as you suspect, there is a best time to sell things in the classifieds if you want to maximize your price. Like any other market, selling in the classifieds is a matter of supply and demand. If you sell your item when the demand is high, you'll have more potential buyers and a chance for a better price. Try to sell your snow blower on a hot August day and

Carry: It seems your husband's
knowledge of selling is like most men when it comes to fashion...we could all use a little help! Cash: It's a good thing men's suits come as matching jacket and
most people are not thinking about snow. Carry: A good rule of thumb is to advertise your item at about the same time of year you would start using it. That's when most people would be looking for it, offering you the most buyers. Your snow blower would sell best at the beginning of winter or just before the first snowfall. Once you pass the halfway point of the season, you can expect the number of potential buyers to thin out. Cash: Hopefully this will help your husband listen to your advice. And who knows, maybe next you can start working on his wardrobe!
Reader Humor What Was That?
In the world of classifieds, you can find almost anything at anytime. However, retail stores work much differently. By analyzing consumer shopping habits, both psychological and economical, retailers have developed software to better control their store's inventory. Their goal is to maximize the stock of things we purchase during various times of the year. By doing so they minimize the amount of "clearance" items and maximize their profits on the season.
As I get older, I swear I'm beginning to forget things. Sometimes it's where I put my keys or what day I have an appointment. Fortunately, a recent visit with some friends helped me realize I'm still in pretty good shape. As we sat down to play cards, my friend would call out to his wife in the kitchen to bring some drinks or snacks. "Honey," he'd say, or "Sweetheart." "That's great that after 40 years of marriage you still refer to your wife with such endearing names," I told him. "I have to," he laughed to me. "At my age, I often forget her name!"
In Style
Today fashion seems more important to people than ever. However, according to the Department of Labor and Statistics, the percentage of household income spent on clothing continues to decline. In 1901 Americans spent nearly 14% of their income on their clothes. By 1960 this number dropped to about 10%. Today it has declined even further to a mere 4.2%, hardly enough to make a fashion statement. New York City, one of the clothing and fashion capitals, still holds the highest percentage at 5.2%.

letter - Children’s rights - CONTINUED from PAGE 4 made “straight.” In Alberta, Bill 24 protects these children. My experience with such children goes back many years where I knew a 19 year old girl (lesbian) whose church leaders and parents were pushing her to deny her sexuality. She committed suicide. I had been her Sunday school teacher. She shared her poetry with me. When her poetry became suicidal, I cried out, to no avail! I’ll never forget it; and, I’ll let God forgive those who caused her to commit suicide, I am human and cannot. So, where is this young confused autistic girl’s “confusion” coming from—the GSA association or her possibly extremely conservative parents? They are now going to let “the State” decide. My hope is that justice will be served in upholding Bill 24. Because under Bill 24, children are not threatened, they are protected. -- Nancy Mereska, Children’s Rights Leader (1980-1985)
Nancy; thank you for writing. You are not alone in your views. It is interesting to note that those directly impacted are rarely consulted in such decisions. Listening to adults who have lived though this, regardless if it is hiding until an adult or surviving attempts to be “made straight” one rarely finds anyone against GSAs and what they offer children. Most in fact only wish they had similar support when they were young. - AB
Keep Track of Your Kids Letter to the Editor To All Parents in the Area, Last Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning our car was broken into. The very good news is that nothing was taken. The bad news is that the driver’s side window was smashed from the outside, making a difficult mess to clean up, and rendering the car inoperable until Friday. That was almost a disaster for both of us, since we are both cancer patients, and that car is not a luxury. We need it to get to appointments, blood tests, emergencies (of which there is a huge possibility that we will both face one soon,) and food shopping. Were it not for the kindness of our good friends, we would have missed three appointments on the same day – Blessings to our friends. They were saints that day. In light of this event, another thought occurred to me: cancer patients use drugs. We sometimes carry them in the car for emergencies. These drugs will not give you any kind of high…in fact, most people using them consider them poisons. They have terrible side effects which are listed as nausea and vomiting (the nausea is severe and the vomiting doesn’t end until long after the stomach
has been evacuated,) constant diarrhea or constipation, trouble breathing (scary, when it happens,) feeling tired (my major symptom – it’s a fatigue that never goes away, and I can only work for an hour or two a day.) and finally everyone’s favourite: hair loss. While you may not experience all of these symptoms, you can’t avoid some and none of them are pleasant. Fortunately that day, nothing like that was in the car. No one wishes those side effects on anyone, but parents should be warned that taking pills by people ignorant of what they do can put anyone swallowing them in great danger – and it is their responsibility to inform their kids of the dangers. Bottom line: keep track of your kids. Sincerely, -- Jerome and Mary Cherry
Jerome and Mary; perhaps your letter provides two things we are in need of in today’s world. A lesson and some hope. It is nice to hear that you have good friends to help through some additional challenges in you life. Unfortunately, I can also say from experience that some parents will not even return a phone call when contacted about their children. - AB
Pysanka Festival Dear Editor and News Advertiser Readers, This last weekend was a great time as we attended the Pysanka Festival, but a rather unfortunate incident occurred and left us thinking we may not attend again. My family and band members were behind the stage with dancers and other performers while a highly intoxicated man managed to make his way through. He had been causing difficulty to elderly and performers for a few minutes before a man went to find a peace officer. He asked the officer for help but was told by the officer his shift
did not start for another 20 minutes and was told to calm down. The man came back behind the stage and, upon seeing that the intoxicated individual had caused an elderly couple to leave their seats and almost knock over instruments, took action. As he was taking the intoxicated man to ground the peace officer came. He took over talking to the intoxicated man by his first name, knowing that he had been there earlier in the day. When the RCMP arrived, we thought things where ok, but the peace officer told RCMP that the man that tried to
help was intoxicated also, so the RCMP came behind stage area and handcuffed him in front of band members and dancers. After a few minutes in the back of a police car, they realized he was not intoxicated and only trying help, and let this man go. After talking to some people backstage, I realized that they were shaken up, and very upset about on how the peace officer had conducted himself. With that being said, we probably will not attend again. -- Tadd Loomis
Tadd; I can assure you that organizers along with the RCMP and Peace Officers take these things very seriously. I happened to be on a media “ride along” this weekend and witnessed not only what their shifts involve, but also the scrutiny (such as yours) that these professionals are put under. It is easy to judge from afar. Your account of the incident is likely missing some key details. I’m sure the people back stage were upset with the actions of the intoxicated man more than any officer. Most importantly, don’t let the actions of one intoxicated individual deter you from returning to a great annual event. - AB
Eastern Alberta District Rural Crime Reduction Unit Arrest Male with Multiple Warrants Corporal Ronald Bumbry Media Relations Officer – EAD Cold Lake, Alberta - Crime Reduction Units are the cornerstone of the Alberta RCMP’s Crime Reduction Strategy. These units, both at the detachment and district levels, have the experience, investigational
skills and flexibility to quickly mount operations that lead to arrests and support local police resources. On July 3, 2018, the Eastern Alberta District Rural Crime Reduction Unit (EADRCRU) in conjunction with the Cold Lake RCMP Detachment located a male in the Cold Lake First Nation wanted on several out-
standing arrest warrants; nine out of Edmonton dating back to 2015 and four out of Two Hills dating back to 2016. Soloman Nest (35), was arrested without incident and remanded into custody. He is set to appear in Edmonton Provincial Court on July 9, 2018.

BOHAICHUK, Paul March 27, 1925 - July 15, 2008 It has been 10 years since we lost a wonderful man husband, father, gedo and friend. He taught us that the “sky is the limit” on what one can do, and he proved it by getting his pilot’s license when he was 56, and flew till he was almost 80. He was endowed with so many talents - carpentry, building our own home, violins, guitars and whatever else we needed, mechanics, etc. We dearly miss his music - he sang almost every day and was able to play any instrument. There was nothing he could not fix (if it was fixable) and yes we took all this for granted, and now even after 10 years the void is being filled by all those precious memories. One of his favorite songs was “I’ll Fly Away” and he did on July 15, 2008. Rest in peace dear husband, father, gedo and friend. Love always Louise, Rosanne, Sue & John, Mark & Elsie, Bohdan & Carol, Eric & Shelene, Scott, Ayla & Sophie. Till We Meet Again!
KUTRYK, Barry Donald In Loving Memory of our Dear Husband and Father June 10, 1950 - July 11, 2016 No one knows how much we miss you; No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost you; Life has never been the same. In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true; There is not a day, dear Father, That we do not think of you. Deeply missed and forever loved by Kathy, Joshua, Matthew, Laura-Anne and Natasha
DANDENEAU, Hazel Ruth (Gafka) March 15, 1929 - July 3, 2018 Peacefully, in her sleep, Hazel was carried to Heaven by a band of Angels to connect with so many loved ones waiting there for her. She was born in Vegreville, Alberta and lived on a farm in Brush Hill with her parents and two siblings. When her older sister, Glenna, was school age, they moved to a farm close to Vegreville. She and her younger brother, Len, shared lots of laughs over “lost” or made up memories of those days. Life was good. Years later they moved into town and the children continued their schooling. When Hazel was finished grade 11, she began work for AGT in the little room with the switchboard, and loved her job. She also did the books for her brother-in-law’s automotive shop as well as a local drug store. Being constructively busy was the way she led the rest of her life. In her early twenties, Hazel moved to Edmonton and took a job with Canadian Utilities, again excelling in her work. She had many friends and it was through one of them that she met and married Bill Dandeneau in 1962. They moved into their newly built home where they lived for 50 years. They were both avid curlers and square dancers as well as 53 year Edmonton Eskimo season ticket holders. Their travels took them to many football, curling, and dancing events across Canada, the United States and Europe. And all along the way they gathered friends. Hazel had a generous heart and kindness that overflowed with everyone she met. She adopted neighbourhood children and had a lifelong relationship with many of them. Friends and family played a large role in their lives and she leaves many to mourn her loss. Twenty five nieces and nephews as well as one “Chosen Son” all cherish the memories of “Hunky Hazel”. She was predeceased by her husband, Bill, sister, Glenna, all her sisters and brothers-in-law as well as her parents. And “Bluie”. Special thanks to Dawne Fowler for her loving care of Bill and Hazel for many years. A Celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, July 14th at 10 a.m. at Evergreen Funeral Home.

WOYCHESHYN, Joyce June 12, 1946 - July 9, 2016 Our Mother Lives on in Us When we were kids… She nurtured with tender, yet hardened paws and planted her values deep. When we were teens… She cheered from the sidelines and scolded when need be. As young adults… She supported our lofty dreams even though they took us away from her. And now in fond reflection… We can see how her attitudes, her values, her spirit have become a part of us. And by proxy, a part of our loved ones. Our mother’s legacy of love lives on in us and her spirit nurtures, cheers and supports (and sometimes scolds) us still. Lovingly remembered and deeply missed by your daughter, Tammy Iftody; your son, Jason Woycheshyn and his wife Melanie and grandchildren Nataliya, Damian, and Lesya; extended family Gerald, Glenn, Reece, and Makena; chosen family the Dechkas and the Palamareks, and many cherished friends.

Debbie Fedoruk Submitted Debbie Fedoruk’s music studio had its annual piano and voice, year-end recitals on June 3 and 10 at St. John Lutheran Church in Vegreville. There were too many students for one recital, so it was necessary to do two. There were beginners, as young as six, older children, teens, adults and even a senior citizen. There were pop, country, gospel, movie, and Broadway hits, along with a bit of jazz and classical music. Debbie ended the concerts by performing some Celtic music, and one of the concerts included a cello solo by Page Stuart. Page studies cello with a teacher in Edmonton, but she studies voice with Debbie and was

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Children climb unto many activities and adventures at the community parks in Vegreville. This experience has grown into even more fun when the second year of guided play from the Five Stop Park Hops come alive again.

“Love Letters from the Past,” and Other Folk-Art Adventures Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser As a part of the Vegreville Ukrainian Pysanka Festival from July 6-8, a folk art and heritage exhibit filled the Social Centre in Vegreville over the weekend, with interactive, and in-depth examples of Ukrainian culture were available for festival guests to enjoy. The first thing a guest would see when first entering the Social Centre was the bright colours of the Vegreville School of Dance – 45 years display, with costumes, flowers, and a group photo from the beginning of the Vegreville School of Dance. Guests then had the opportunity to browse the many parts of the exhibit, including Ukrainian high-class fashions from the 3rd to 16th century, examples of Ukrainian Christmas and Easter dishes, and a miniature clay hut. In the exhibit hall, Toby and Shiela Horon gave a demonstration of wool spinning with wool from their own sheep, using a spinning wheel and drop spindle, in the styles that Ukrainian settlers would have used. Other demonstrations included dough dove making with Sophie Hamman and Elsie Kawulych, as well as pysanka writing, wheat weaving, vinkopletennia (floral headpieces,) Ukrainian Ethno Korali (beaded necklaces,) and embroidery.
A special feature this year, and something that was both interesting and engaging for guests of Ukrainian descent was a “Trace Your Roots” display, which helped them to trace their ancestry to the different family names and regions in Ukraine. The exhibit explained that this may be difficult, as many names were made “English” on their paperwork in Canada and helped to give guests the tools they needed to trace their family history back to the homeland of their forefathers. The Kule folklore display: Love Letters from the Past, walked guests through the history of Ukrainian letter writing. This was an enormous part of the culture of Ukrainian-Canadians, as they would have been separated from their families and close communities when they moved overseas. The display showed the letters of a few couples throughout the World War I and World War II eras. The conclusion of the display read, “Personal letters, photographs from family albums, and love stories are valuable windows for looking into the past. These are the most private forms of communication and the most democratic of historical sources. They are genuine and candid, their vulnerability contrasts with the standardized and imposing language of official documents.”

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Ukrainian culture and traditions really became alive during the breathless performances by Ukrainian dancers and musicians at the July 7’s afternoon Vegreville Pysanka Festival Grandstand Show and at the other grandstand shows on July 6 and 8. Natalia Toroshenko was the emcee for the July 7’s afternoon show who kept the audience engaged with her clear voice. The July 7 show’s performers smoothly appeared on the scene which featured Rusalka Dancing Group, Vohon, Verkhovyna Choir, Dunai, UB, and Hardy KryvenchukLoomis with the Emile’s Old Tyme Dance Band. Toroshenko asked where the people in the audience came for. Many citizens arrived from local areas, and a few came from across Canada and the United States, Europe and, a couple were from
Ukraine. One of the highlights was the performance by Hardy KryvenchukLoomis who is 12 years-old musician who played the fiddle (violin) with the Emile’s Old Tyme Dance Band. At this time, it seemed like a rhythmic musical engine was traveling through the grandstand as the music was so lively and skillfully performed. A certificate was awarded from the Patriots of the Kirovohrad of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine and patriots of all of the Ukraine to President of Vegreville Cultural Association, Myron Kruk who traveled through Ukraine in the past months to carry over donations and delivered medical supplies to the rehabilitation hospital in Eastern Ukraine from the Zustreech Ukrainian Society. This certificate of honor was presented to the Vegreville Cultural Association for their contributions to this cause.

Concluding the Pysanka Festival Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser The final day of Vegreville Ukrainian Pysanka Festival Grandstand Shows was kicked off on Sunday ( July 8) afternoon, with a Ukrainian dance production that told its story with intricate choreography, daring jumps and lifts, and swift gracefulness, and the expressions of the dancers. The dance ended with the men and women breaking off into pairs and exiting the stage. When one woman’s character stayed behind stubbornly, her partner held out his hand and the two skipped joyfully off the stage. The Verkhoyvena Choir, who are widely known for their singing of the Eastern Rite Ukrainian Liturgy, graced the audience with Ukrainian Folk songs. The gentlemen began the set, joined afterward by the ladies, who sang a sweet, slow lullaby in contrast with the gentlemen’s humorous performance. When the whole choir sang together, they used SATB harmonies. The audience smiled and sometimes sang along with their favourite Ukrainian folk songs, remembered from their own childhoods. They were followed by the Dunai song and dance ensemble, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary of Ukrainian cultural song and dance. For them, the Vegreville Ukrainian Pysanka Festival is a last stop at
home before they embark on a summer tour, which will visit locations such as Georgia (USA) and Ukraine. The Cheremoch group danced with swiftness and big smiles, with a traditional dance from Ukraine’s mountain region. “Don’t they just dance like fire?” the announcer commented to the audience when all of the Cheremoch dancers had left the stage. After this, the Verkhoyvenia choir rejoined the audience for a few more songs (with some audience participation) and were followed by one last dance from the Vohan dance group, featuring exciting lifts. In conclusion of the Gra ndst a nd Showca se, Grandstand Hospodar and Hospodynia Gene and Christine Zwozdesky bid farewell to the audience and performers. “The Ukrainian Pysanka Festival is a stellar example of the richness and diversity of the culture of the Ukrainian people,” said Hospodynia Christine. “Whether or not you share the Ukrainian Heritage we celebrate here,” Hospodar Gene remarked in closing, “we hope that you share in our pride.” Hospodar Gene then led the audience in a farewell song, and gave the stage to the Euphoria band, to close off the weekend of grandstand performances.

Seventh-day Adventist Church VBS Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent With Bible stories, crafts, good food, games, activities, children learned that God comes through for us in good times and bad times at Vegreville Seventh-day Adventist Church on July 2 to 7. Jeannie Windels was the Coordinator for 2018 VBS. The theme this year was from prison to palace… how God comes through. It is based on the bible story about Joseph and no matter what he went through, God came through for him. Every morning began with pre-session stories told by volunteer Clara Flindt where she used many examples from her own life where God protected her and was there for her. The final day on July 7 featured a special closing program and picnic with family and friends. One of the activities for this was an outdoor scavenger hunt.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent ‘Where God is Wild About Us’ was the theme for ‘Panda Mania’ Vegreville United Church Vacation Bible School which was held from July 9 to July 12. Every morning danced in with singing, dancing, and a short skit in the sanctuary. From there, the children were read a bible story in a different section. On July 9, Terry Kubin read the creation story from the bible. After that, they said grace and enjoyed a snack in the auditorium. Everyone ventured outside to participate in games next. After this, they had a craft period. For the finale, the children returned to the sanctuary to sing songs, talk about what they learned and then they said a prayer. This vacation Bible school is an opportunity for children to learn about God in a fun environment while they meet up with old friends and have a chance to make new friends.

Some of the materials they used were tempera paint, toilet paper rolls, egg carton slots, markers, white circle of paper where a hole was punched in the middle of it and other stuff.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Children had a chance to get up close and personal while they learned about reptiles at the presentation by Canadian Reptiles Encounter at Vegreville Centennial Library on July 3. Lyra Logan was the presenter where she said that the reptiles were all alive and had to be handle with care. It would be best not to make loud noises or move too much; so the children don’t scare them. Logan then described all the interesting things that reptiles can do that human can’t, how long each reptile that they met would live, what they require as pets, and what role they play in the environment. The first reptile introduced was a leopard gecko. Then the children met a tarantula which is slightly venomous but Logan said it would not be worse than a bee sting and it usually keeps this for when it is very threatened. Kids also met a corn snake, a boas, a tortoises, and other non-poisonous reptiles. Children discovered that certain lizards can live to 80 years and some snakes live for 40 years. The largest snake in the world is around 40 feet. At the end of the presentation, the kids were invited to pet the reptiles and they commented that the snakes’ skins were soft.

Community Growth – Town of Vegreville Building Permits Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser
(Vegreville, AB) – A community’s growth can be issued in a number of ways, from the starting and success of new businesses to the interest that community members have in activities and facilities to the stretching of town limits, the building of new homes, and the renovation and upkeep of old buildings. While a few of these markers can be seen without really noticing (such as a sudden
business at the library, or an FCSS program), the evidence, they say, is in the statistics. In this case, those statistics would be the number of building permits the town has issued, and for which causes. From the month of January 2018 to May 2018, the town of Vegreville issued 20 building permits of various categories, which ranged from renovations in urban garages and commercial business alike to the placement on a manufactured home.
The value of these changes is as follows: C – Commercial; $592,000.00 RMH - Residential Mobile Homes; $12,000.00 M – Industrial; $80,000.00 UR - Urban Reserve; $0.00 DC - Direct Control; $0.00 P – Community; $0.00 R – Residential; $362,380.00 I – Institutional; $211,006.00 This brings the total Permit Values for 2018 (to date) to $1,257,386.00
