JULY 13, 2022

Town of Two Hills to Discuss Amalgamation with Municipal Affairs Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Elected officials and administration with the Town of Two Hills will be meeting with officials from Municipal Affairs July 15. The purpose of the meeting is learn about the process of amalgamation as town council has expressed an interest in joining the County of Two Hills. On several different occasions Town of Two Hills Mayor Leonard Ewanishan has publicly discussed council’s intention and said amalgamation as a way to keep the community viable. As to what is the motivation behind the proposition? Ewanishan said, “Survival. With the downloading of all kinds of different things to municipalities, right, we have to find a way where we can deliver our services to all our residents, rural and urban, at a reasonable cost. Is it getting to the point becoming cost prohibitive for the town to operate on its own? No, no we’re more than viable. We’re looking into the future. An example is policing. We never paid for policing, right. Last year it was $25,000. This year is $50,000 and next year is $75,000 and who know when it’s really going to end. A small community of 1,500 people, that’s a sizable amount. And I’m not saying the county is paying also, but if we divide it up amongst all the residents it would be a little easier to handle. So, again, my council is of the view we can join with the county there’s going to be those synergies that we both can enjoy and maybe that will help us deliver the services, I wouldn’t say in a better manner, but maybe in a more timely and cost efficient manner.” He noted that the Town of Two Hills in in good financial shape, but he believes this option would be in the best interests of residents. According to the Town of Two Hills Audited Financial

Statement for the year ending on Dec. 31, 2021, the municipality has an unrestricted surplus of just over $1 million with a restricted surplus just over $712,000 and equity in tangible capital assets at just over $13.6 million. Long term debt is more than $3.6 million. Total cash payments for interest in 2021 was $126,743. The Town of Two Hills is a shareholder in the Alberta Central East, (ACE) Water Corporation and paid $179,000 in 2021. As of Dec. 31, 2021, ACE had assets worth over $90 million. The Town of Two Hills paid $967,740 in wages, salaries and benefits in 2021. Town Manager Gerren Saskiw earned $92,667 in salary, benefits and allowances. Mayor Leonard Ewanishan earned $23,304 in salary, benefits and allowances. Salary, benefits and allowances for 2,850 to 3,050 for Councillors Keegan

News Advertiser – Opinion If you are a fan of the film industry or any cinematic creations, you might think you know what justice looks like. There are heroes and bad guys. For the most part the heroes find a way to overcome obstacles and ensure that justice is served. From the days of John Wayne to the more recent Bruce Wayne, (Batman), justice has been served. On the other hand, if you also keep an eye on the news and read the News Advertiser’s “Blotter” every week, you know that justice as we have known it in the past, has changed. The bad people no longer only lurk in the shadows wearing hoodies. Of course, there are things like cybercrimes and scams. They look different and at times are even state sponsored. There are also the “white collar” criminals who embezzle money or sell secrets. The ones that surprise me are those currently under the thumb of the government for their involvement in the Ottawa convoy protests. If you don’t know the name Tamara Lich, you should. She’s the Alberta activist who most recently became a focal figure in the Ottawa convoy protests. Prior to that, she was involved in the Yellow Vest protests in Medicine Hat in 2018 and 2019 as well as the “Wexit” movement which morphed into the Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta. In what can only be interpreted as a necessary move to save Canada from being overthrown, (that is sarcasm), Tamara Lich was

re-arrested in Medicine Hat. What was her offence you query? She was found attending a gala and interacting with another convoy organizer thereby breaching her court conditions. You will see many times in the “Blotter” that individuals are released with documents for court. These documents often contain conditions. Conditions can be curfews, often placed on people who are accused of being up to no good under the cover of night. Other conditions may be to not attend a certain residence or not to associate with certain people. These could be people with whom the individual was arrested with along with a boat load of stolen items or with drugs they were likely selling. Please note that all of these people deserve their day in court and are innocent until proven guilty in a Canadian courtroom. In what only could be described as a “Minority Report” type move, Lich was arrested prior to Canada Day to undoubtedly save Canada from a coup. Her vast tentacles of supervillain power cause the federal government to quiver in their perfectly shined shoes. She clearly is a menace to Canada and all that we stand for and therefore MUST be held in jail, (without bail) for the betterment of our fine country. Or… perhaps she’s just a Canadian who is fed up with our government trampling on our rights. Why am I so riled up by this action? After all, the law is being enforced and I’m all for the law. My issue is with how this seems to be the polar opposite with what goes on elsewhere. You can look around the country at other protests. Protests against pipelines and old-growth logging, those FOR better access to health care and other causes. As I mentioned, EVERY week in the “Blotter” we see people arrested with drugs, weapons and stolen property who are just let out to continue doing the same thing… with additional documents for court. Tamara Lich was at a gala to receive an award. Recently, around 19 people were arrested for being in contempt of court and breaching their conditions to not protest the Coastal GasLink project. This came after more than two dozen were arrested in November 2021 for their blockade which had stranded 500 workers in a pipeline construction camp. Are they being held without bail? I doubt it. During a discussion, a colleague made a very simple and clear distinction between the Tamara Lich case and all the others. The case involving the Freedom Convoys scores political points in the big voting blocs who favour the government. They get lots of press from friendly media about how they are making Canada safer. Lowering actual crimes like thefts and drug trafficking in our small towns only really affects the voters who don’t matter all that much. Are we really in a Canada that is concerned with justice or are we in a different place where laws are enforced with discretion for the betterment of politicians? If you want to see real protests, just look at the news coming out of Sri Lanka. There will likely be more coverage coming out of Argentina, Panama, Kenya and other places where inflation is out of control. Other protests in Europe by farmers are already in the news. One parting item. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 2 (c) states that, “Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: freedom of peaceful assembly.” When you think of that, I suppose how you feel about Tamara Lich’s incarceration will come down to either your definition of “peaceful” or where you stand politically. If it’s the latter, then Canada may be doomed.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER COMPILED

DAN BEAUDETTE

90 Years Ago – July 13, 1932

RCMP are searching for a thief or thieves who stole 200 blank grain cheques from the Alberta Pacific Grain Co. Ltd. Offices at Hilliard, Alta., Monday night. The blank grain cheques are numbered from 79401 to 79601. Police officials warn others to beware of the cheques. Mr. Krause of St. Josephburg, moved his family to Ryley last week and he will take over the work of buying grain for the Pool Elevator. Sand has been discovered just east of Ryley and is being hauled to cover the stones for the sidewalk bed and also for filling holes in the streets. Hail damage ranging from 3 percent to 100 percent was reported in different parts of the Ryley district as a result of the storm on Sunday evening at about 7:30. On Sunday, July 10th, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Johnson, residents of Lavoy for the past 14 years, celebrated the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Murray Davidson, a last year’s Grade XII graduate from the Vegreville high school, has been successful in the recent examinations for Naval Cadets in the Royal Canadian Navy and will be leaving in the late summer for England, to commence his training on a British warship.

75 Years Ago – July 16, 1947

Voting on the proposed water and sewage systems for the Village of Two Hills took place recently. Every available elector voted and 75 per cent of them were in favor. The campaign for and against was interesting and exciting. The amount to be expended is well over $50,000.00 and the engineering firm of Davis, Ripley and associates are in charge. The Vegreville Kinsmen Club wishes to take this opportunity to extend their many thanks to those who assisted the Kinsmen at the July 1st Sports Day. It may be of interest to those who helped as well as to the citizens of the Town of Vegreville, that net proceeds from the Sports Day are earmarked for the children’s playground near the swimming pool, on which grounds wok has already commenced. It is now announced the usual half-holiday on Wednesday, July 30th, will be observed. Stores in Vegreville will be open for business all day Tuesday, July 29th, as usual. Retiring from the priesthood after a service of 46 years, Rev. Fr. J.H. Garnier and his sister, Miss Garnier, have returned to Vegreville to make their home here in the future.

50 Years Ago – July 13, 1972

A derailment of 32 cars from a westbound 104 car CNR freight train took place at 11:00 p.m. Friday at Ranfurly. The mishap occurred at the main crossing of the hamlet about one half mile west from where a similar derailment took place in May of 1967. While golfing in the ladies’ day golf, Tuesday, Mrs. Lisa Hansen drove home a hole-in-one on the number nine hole in Vegreville. Mrs. Hansen used a No. 3 wood to perform the golfers dream and completed her round with a 43. Work continues on the new civic complex on Main Street in Vegreville and decorative brick is now being placed over the grey concrete block structure. Immediately to the south work in progressing on the provincial building. Sub-structure work is almost complete and soon the walls will be in the process of being built. A different hum of activity at the Mannville school as building operations have begun on office space and enlargement of the Industrial Arts area: also renovation for a much needed library.

25 Years Ago – July 8, 1997

The third annual Kinsmen Celebrity Golf Classic has been a success, according to organizers. Though final totals aren’t available, tournament chairman Dave Horvat estimates the event raised roughly $3,000 for the Crisis Association of Vegreville. The tournament drew a full field of 72 golfers along with eight celebrity golfers. The team of Larry Ruptash, Stu Dow, Rick Rutter and Miranda Homeniuk-Iftody won the Texas Scramble format tournament. Celebrities included former Edmonton Eskimo Stu McAndrews, Mike McLean and Mike Volcan, CFCW radio personality and competitive curler Jackie Rae – Greening, former Edmonton Oiler Randy Gregg, Tampa Bay Lighting forward Daymond Langkow, Phoenix Coyote goal tender Scott Langkow and Vegreville-Viking MLA and provincial agriculture minister Ed Stelmach. Taxes in the County of Two Hills will go up slightly in 1997. “There’s no increase in municipal taxes,” said administrator Gary Popowich. The increase is caused by a higher mill rate for the Alberta School Foundation Fund, which was only partially offset by a lower lodge rate. Willingdon Radiator and Car Wash has changed its name to Willingdon Auto, partly to reflect expanded service. Owner Dan Smith has just put in a new hoist to allow even quicker service on radiator repairs, tire repairs, and oil and lube jobs.

Extremist Views Make for Bad Food Policies Sylvain Charlebois Dalhouise University

Not a day goes by without seeing a group, or even a government, changing rules for farmers. In the name of the planet, animal welfare and our health, rules are changing despite our farmers’ knowledge and experience. It’s an interesting phenomenon, and it’s happening around the world. Farmers have long been regarded as the best environmental stewards on Earth. They make a living off the land and with animals, so why wouldn’t we trust their views on agricultural practices? However, an increasing number of incidents suggest populist views empowered by social media are slowly controlling food policies. In the Netherlands, farmers protested and sprayed several public buildings with manure after politicians voted on proposals to reduce nitrogen emissions – a controversial move. The government cited the fact that emissions of nitrogen oxide and ammonia, produced by livestock, must be significantly reduced close to natural areas that are part of a network of protected habitats for endangered plants and wildlife stretching across several countries. The rationale for such a policy can be understood, but the context makes little sense. Despite being the world’s third-largest agricultural producer by volume and second by value, the Netherlands wants to halve livestock production, even in the face of a looming global food crisis, so they can comply with the nitrogen limits set in Brussels by the European Union. The target is to comply with new EU rules on reducing nitrogen pollution. To meet these targets, farmers will have to downsize their businesses or even cease operations,

according to some sources. Compared to what else is happening in the world, these measures seem extreme at best. On the other side of the spectrum, we have the everpowerful dairy farmers in Canada. Case in point: Agropur’s current strike in Quebec. For years, dairy farmers have claimed they’re victims of strikes, pandemics and other unforeseen occurrences. And we believed them. In Canada, dairy farmers waste anywhere from 100 million to 300 million litres of milk each year. The waste was always unquestioned, even when milk prices at the grocery store were increasing. With recent record-setting price hikes in the dairy sector, and the fact that many families are struggling due to higher food prices, consumers question our systems and wonder if there could be a better way. Despite our dairy quota system, which is supposed to eliminate all possibilities of waste, milk dumping has been going on for decades and Canadians have accepted it. It’s a complicated debate, fuelled by rhetoric and orchestrated by a lobby group known for its power and influence: the Dairy Farmers of Canada. Politicians, academics and even journalists have paid a heavy price for criticizing the regime. Relevant examples are plentiful in Canada. In Ottawa, many committees, councils and task forces organized by Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and her department are primarily populated by like-minded individuals. Food can get political, of course, but lopsided policy-making can’t be institutionalized. Policy-making in food is in danger. Debates in the agri-food sector – marred by our collective inability to exchange ideas – include discussions related to glyphosate and genetic engineering, climate change, food labelling and global trades.

Jo said Cooper has always been competitive, playing hockey and baseball from a very young age. While it is “a bit tricky” getting into the sport of rodeo, Cooper has enjoyed both competing and attending riding schools.

from his grandfather, who competed in the seventies. He also spends about an hour each evening working on his balance on an exercise ball. There are many intricacies involved in riding, and Jo said the bull or steer is the other half of the equation in the formula to a cowboy’s success. Cooper began riding around three years ago and has made some great friends in the time he’s been involved in the sport. Jo said rodeo is a “tight knit family” who are there to support all of the riders, for which she is forever grateful for. Jo said her husband Malcolm works on the road, but is a big supporter of his son as well as Coopers sisters Haylee, Mayze and J.C.

Cooper said he got hung up on the rope and stepped on, but other than bumps and bruises there were no broken bones. Jo chuckles said even after that happened he still wanted to get back on and ride some more.

Vegreville and Area Stands With Ukraine offered a Welcome to Canada Pancake Bunch (Meet and Greet) for newcomers from Ukraine during Vegreville 49th Annual Ukrainian Pysanka Festival on July 1 at Vegreville Social Centre. Maria Buhrak who has lived in Vegreville for four years had her two children with her- Diana who arrived in Vegreville three months ago and Vasil who came to Vegreville two months ago. When asked what they thought of Vegreville so far, Diana said, “I love Vegreville; it is very nice and quiet. Vegreville Pysanka Festival had very powerful Ukrainian traditions in it,” Diana said. Vasil said he feels that Vegreville is a very nice town. “It is very clean and has lots of things happening all the time. Vegreville Pysanka Festival had many roots and traditions from Ukraine. I am amazed how people are still keeping those traditions so strongly from Ukraine in the Vegreville Pysanka Festival,” Vasil added. Oleg Mytsyk who came to Vegreville with his mother,

Halyna Mytsyk and his two sisters Solomiia and Myroslava said he has lived one week in Vegreville and he feels Vegreville is a good town to live in. “Vegreville is a very beautiful town. There are very good people here. Vegreville Pysanka Festival is very nice as I met a lot of Ukrainian people at it,” Oleg added. Liudmyla Kiudmyla was with her two daughters, Daria and Oleksandra. They moved to Sherwood Park from Ukraine. Liudmyla said she was just visiting Vegreville for the Pysanka Festival. “Since I visited Vegreville, I think it is a very nice place. I really like the festival. For the future, I really want to live in Canada, I don’t want to go back to Ukraine,” Liudmyla added. Pavlo Sakun who moved to Edmonton from Ukraine with his wife, Tetiana and their three children, Viktoriia, Dreksandk, and Karolina said he was in the Ukrainian army but in Ukraine if people have three or more children they are allowed to leave the country during the Russian war against Ukraine. He added that he is living in Edmonton because his son, Dreksandk is an elite level diver and there are more opportunities for him there.”

When Smolak was asked how the event turned out, he said, “Eight members plus one guest and one museum car showed up at the park. Then, the club members went on a brief cruise through town going past some of the senior’s residences and finally back to the museum where we had our annual steak barbecue and reflected on this year’s Father’s Day Event. The members had a good time visiting before leaving for home around 9 pm. All in all, a good day. Next year we will plan things ahead so that people will be aware of what is happening and why.”

Spectacular Fireworks Show in Vegreville (Michelle Pinon/Photos)

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The fireworks show at the Elks/Kinsmen Community Park in Vegreville on July 1 was the perfect way to capped off

Canada Day. With no rain and no wind, weather conditions were perfect for the show which lasted around 20 minutes in duration. Several members of the Vegreville Fire Department were on

OBITUARY

Mary Alther (Nee Golinowski) 1929 -2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Mary Alther (Golinowski) on June 30th, 2022 in St. Albert, Alberta, at the age of 92. Lovingly remembered by her three children: Sylvia Malthouse (Bryon), Mary Anne Alther and Heidi Alther; six grandchildren: Jacob Malthouse (Kristy), Alice Malthouse, Spencer Malthouse, Jessica Alther, Roland Alther and Steven Alther(Shelby); and three great grandchildren: Baker Malthouse, Sequoia Malthouse and Palmer Alther. Mary was predeceased by her parents, John and Annie Golinowski (Zaleschuk) and her brother, Steve Golinowski (Wilma). Mary was born on December 1, 1929, in a small log house on her parent’s farm near Two Hills, Alberta. She attended a one room school from grade 1 - 8. At the age of 17, Mary left the farm to live in Edmonton, with her Aunt Mary and Uncle John Dacyk, so she could attend secretarial school. Mary was married to Ernst Alther in 1952. Together they raised their family of 3 daughters. Mary was a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her generous support for her daughters as they attended school, started careers, and raised families was unflagging. Her unfailing love was a most precious gift. Mary worked as a stenographer for the Alberta Government for 10 years, and as Secretary, Bookkeeper and Accountant, supporting her husband’s business for many years. Mary was a creative and talented individual who enjoyed sketching faces and flowers, creating exceptionally beautiful, Pysanky (Ukrainian Easter Eggs), and needlework crafts over the years, including sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery and petit point. An avid gardener, Mary’s greatest joy was working in her garden. Mary was a kind, generous, happy and loving person who loved music and dancing, and would always enthusiastically encourage others to join in. Mary was dearly loved by her family, friends, and all who knew her well. She will be greatly missed. To honour our mother’s wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service. Mary enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. She always reminded us that she loved to work in the quiet of her garden, when all she could hear was the birdsong in the trees. She would “talk” to the birds, then wait, and listen for their reply. It was Mary’s request that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to: WILDNorth Northern Alberta Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation 12515-128 St. NW, Edmonton, AB T5L 1C8 (780) 914-4118 https://wildnorth.ca To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com.

hand to assist with setting up the fireworks, discharging them and providing security around the area. Town of Vegreville Community Services Director Phil Rowe said members are fully trained and certified following a two day training course through Natural Resources Canada. He said they also work with a licensed display technician. Rowe said a total of 13,000 shots were set off in sequence, much to the delight of hundreds of people who were in attendance. Vegreville town council sponsors the annual event.

Five children between 4-13 years old attended Vegreville Seventh Day Adventist Church (VSDAC) Vacation Bible School from July 4 to 9. Coordinator for VSDAC Vacation Bible School Julie Berard said, “Our theme this year was ‘Overcomers in Jesus’. Each day we featured a Bible story and a modern story of a young person who overcame something tough. Besides that, we had Bible games, outdoor games, singing, snacks and crafts. I chose to host the program three years ago, prior to COVID-19, when our very capable former coordinator retired from her position. Because of COVID, we had two years without VBS. I chose to do it because I love kids, I love being creative, and I didn’t want to see the program go to the wayside, because it is a very important outreach for children,” Berard added.

Vegreville United Church Vacation Bible School (VBS) was held from July 5 to 8. Rev. Pamela Milton said she wrote the curriculum for “Peace Seekers.” My volunteers and myself sat down and worked out how it should run as a team. We had six children in age from 4 to 13. We hosted VBS to introduce our faith to children. This year’s theme was “Peace Seekers.” Peace with God, friends, earth, family and the world. We did singing, story time, snack, games, and crafts.”

bad food policies - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 Mainly because of social media, coupled with many very populist governments, our widespread capacity to know what we’re doing with food policies has completely vanished. Even in academia, cancel culture among colleagues is prevalent, and deliberations are discouraged, even in the upper echelons of universities. The fear of losing any research funding prevails. And it’s not just institutional. As citizens, over the last decade or so we’ve gained the power of connecting and exchanging. But communicating through social media has been overly efficient at destroying ideas, especially those held by a minority of people. To our detriment, we’ve witnessed the obliteration of logic and rationale on food policy in many parts of the world, including Canada. Consumers are exposed to more information, which makes society more intellectually vulnerable. When critics get silenced, policies will most likely become more misguided and short-sighted, which is what we are seeing now. To support a roadmap for better food policies, we need to protect critics who are often vehemently quashed by the masses on social media. The critics stand no chance

now. In the last couple of years, we’ve seen more people engaged in the food space. This may be the legacy of empty shelves coupled with record food inflation. Our institutions must assure the public that food should

serve all people, while maintaining our ambition to remain food secure. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois is senior director of the agri-food analytics lab and a professor in food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University.

The 49th Annual Vegreville Pysanka Ukrainian Festival presented an array of Ukrainian Dancers and musical bands at the Cultural and Band Showcase at Vegreville Multiplex Centre on July 2 and Ukrainian Dance Competitions on July 3. One of the first performers were Vinok Orchestra where Laura Tkachuk from St. Paul said she thought they were the world’s greatest musicians. “I love fiddle, accordion, and guitar music which this band all plays. Every time, I hear this music, it makes me want to stop and listen as it just hits me in the heart. I am Ukrainian and I just love this festival! I just love the Ukrainian culture and people!” Laura said.

Lamont Summer Sizzler Rodeo a Success on all Fronts Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Lamont Summer Sizzler Rodeo that was held at the Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds July 9 and 10 was a success on all fronts. From the highly anticipated rodeo events to the fun-filled kids rodeo to the children’s activity zone to the country dances to the combine demolition derby. The Combine Crunch, which marked its 10th anniversary, is a definite “fan favourite” for sure, stated Shelley Loren, Rodeo Chair and Vice President of the Lamont & District Agricultural Society. Loren attributes the popularity of the event to its uniqueness. On July 9, Loren said there were well over 1,000 people who came to watch the massive smash up of the agricultural implements. The finals were held July 10, and Lamont area resident

Ethan Nimchuk won the championship and took home just over $3,800 in prize money. The runner up was Dakota Procyk. Nimchuk said he had watched the Combine Crunch in previous years and decided to give it a go this year. He purchased a 1979 White 8900 model from his neighbour Dwayne Chudyk and worked hard preparing his ride for the signature event. “The last 10 days of work paid off,” said Ethan, who was elated along with family members, friends and fans. The 18-year-old was all smiles after being declared champion. “I was happy to put on a show,” added Nimchuk, who celebrated his victory with a few bottles of his favourite iced tea. Nimchuk was also the runner up in the ‘Grudge Match’ that was held after the championship final. Top honours, however, were earned by Owen Glover who earned $1,000 for his efforts. Kayden Jones, who picked Nimchuk to win the championship had his photo taken with the winner. Kayden’s

brother Carter Jones picked Glover to win the consolation, and he also had his photo taken with the winner of that event. Their mom said they come out to Lamont every year to watch the event and was very excited about the boys’ choices and all the fun they had cheering on the contestants. Loren said a total of 2,100 fans attended Saturday’s rodeo performance and approximately 1,300 for Sunday’s performance. “It was very well received.” To put on an event of this size is no small feat. Loren said they had about 60 volunteers as well as local service groups to assist in their efforts. The community-based organizations included: Lamont Veselka Dancers, Northlands 4-H Multi Club, Ardrossan Bisons Football Club, Lamont Curling Club, Lamont Fish & Game Association, and Lamont County Family and Community Support Services. Loren noted that it was Lamont based KG Enterprises that was “instrumental” in the planning and securing sponsors for the large-scale event which turned out to be a massive success.
