4H Horse camp trots into town
a wealth of experience from different teachers in the areas of harnessing, roping, reining, trail riding, western horsemanship, grooming and more. While the word workshop may have been an understatement in terms of how vital the knowledge was, Annette Chamberland, one of the organizers of the event, was humble in her attitude. “As long as kids take away two things from each workshop, they’ve made themselves that much better. It’s all hands on of course because the 4H motto is to learn by doing.” Chamberland said evenings were also filled with group
activities to create a bond between the members from different clubs and carry the spirit of togetherness through the weekend.

Vision Credit Union open for business Staff and customers recognized the significance of the revitalized Vision Credit Union , formerly the Battle River Credit Union, in Vegreville as it held a grand opening ceremony on July 10 with a ribbon cutting after not only changing names in a corporate merger, but also undergoing an eye-pleasing renovation inside. Mayor Myron Hayduk presented the credit union with a Kari Fell painting and cut the ribbon after a few words encouraging the business as it moves forward. Pictured are Perry Hansen of Hansen Construction, Murray Erickson of D2 Electric, Ron Vanderleest of Eagle Rock Woodwork, designer Pauline Marcinkowski, VP Operations for Vision Bruce Weinkauf, Steve Friend, CEO of Vision, Mayor Hayduk, and branch manager Mitchell Bachelet.

Chili supper tastier in summer heat Sometimes instead of cooking over a hot stove in the kitchen, food tastes better when you can enjoy a meal outdoors with others on a warm summer day. St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Vegreville understood this when they held a Chili Supper on June 26. Rev. Chelsy Bouwman said that the purpose of this Chili Supper fundraiser is to reach out and hold a meal with fellowship for everyone to enjoy together, make their church and faith visible to the community and raise some money for their church.

VCHS students visit legislature through Youth Call 2 Prayer
Mary-Anne Baldwin Submitted A prayer group was started in Vegreville Composite High School this year by some VCHS Students overseen by our school’s MODEL Project Success Coach, Mrs. Nadine Crain, with the support of our school authorities, and guidance from Mrs. Elaine Baillie, chaplain of Fort Saskatchewan Christian School. We have had the opportunity to go to the Alberta Legislative Building and prayer for MLAs there, as well as write cards for them through the Alberta Youth Call 2 Prayer, organized annually by Mrs. Baillie. Our group meets weekly at lunch to pray for the students, staff, and upcoming events in our school, as well as the community of Vegreville, different branches of government, and world events. Our group’s prayer is that God would work through us to spread His love in our school and community.

Three considerations when saying “I do” Western Financial Group Submitted Great preparation, thought, and emotion goes into planning a wedding. With near countless details, it is very likely that certain things will go overlooked. However, there are a few particulars that you may not have considered: Unofficial venues can destroy your budget With most weddings, the action spills outside of the official venue and ends up in your home, with guests staying over and attending pre- or post-parties. Ideally, when budgeting you will keep these costs in mind and account for extra food and beverages and a greater toll on your energy and heating bills. Furthermore, you should take precautions when it comes to possible property damage or other liabilities. “You can incur all sorts of damage to your home during a wedding,” says Gail Smook, Branch Manager with Western Financial Group in Vegreville. “Additionally, if a guest should get intoxicated and drive, you could be liable. You should talk to your insurance provider to ensure that you are fully covered.” Expect the unexpected Even the most carefully thought-out wedding and honeymoon can include surprises, some of them unwanted. While you probably have contingency plans for accommodation, food and drink shortages, and even foul weather,
there are still other matters to take into account. “Again, insurance is invaluable when it comes to your nuptials,” notes Smook. “These days, you can safeguard yourself from gift theft and event or travel cancellations with the right coverage. This can save you financially and emotionally should the need arise.” Your rings are more than symbols Engagement rings and wedding bands stand for an eternal pledge, but they’re also worth plenty in the real world. You need to protect them. “Rings – as well as gifts – can have a huge impact on the value of your possessions,” observes Smook. “You will have to update your existing contents coverage.” A recent Western Financial Group study showed that 10 per cent of Canadians have absolutely no idea of the value of their home’s contents. Moreover, 21 per cent of Northern Albertans are not at all confident that their estimates are within 10 per cent of the true value. Similarly, when setting out on a honeymoon, you will want to take care of all your belongings, and wedding rings are a major concern. Make sure you add this to your list. You have invested so much to make your wedding and honeymoon are some of the happiest times in your lives, so get the most thorough protection imaginable so you can focus on what really matters.

Paying for a Criminal Records Check – Pt 2 Lisa Topilko Volunteer Services Coordinator (FCSS) In my last submission, I talked about volunteers who might require a Criminal Records Check (CRC) before they start
a volunteer position. The position would presumably involve a certain degree of risk, otherwise there is no need for a CRC. When a volunteer reports to the RCMP detachment office
Carpentry Handyman Service Carpentry Handyman service, Renovations, Roofing House Sidings, Concreting and Building
Phone: Ian 632-3680
online at http://VOAN. volunteeralberta.ab.ca . The organization is asked to provide a job description of the volunteer’s position. The job is eligible if it involves volunteers working with 1) children or youth under 18 years of age, or 2) people over 65 years of age,
or 3) anyone who is disabled in any way, or 4) anyone in a position of trust or authority. Some organizations might like to request a CRC from their Treasurer, for example. This is a volunteer job that would not be eligible for the VOAN program, because the
volunteer treasurer is not working directly with any persons who might be vulnerable. Is it fair to ask a volunteer to pay for the CRC, whether it’s a $25 fee or the $10 VOAN fee? This is the decision of each volunteer organization. Some people might resist strongly, and some might see this as a donation to the volunteer program. In the “real” world of the non-profit voluntary sector, many volunteers make cash donations to the organizations that they work with, or they
with their photo identification, they will be asked for $25 to cover the cost of the CRC. This fee is set by our Town Council. Volunteers are also asked for a letter from the nonprofit organization or charity, outlining the nature of the volunteer job. Local organizations can apply for a Volunteer Organization Authorization Number (VOAN) from Volunteer Alberta. The provincial government set up the VOAN program several years ago. This program will cover up to $15 for eligible volunteers and it’s easy and straightforward for local groups to get a VOAN. An on-line application form is available
donate extra time, services, equipment, and so on. Volunteer Vegreville has a list of “10 Steps to Safe Screening” which helps non-profit groups to get ready for new volunteers and to make sure that everyone involved in every program is safely engaged in the work of the organization. Please contact Lisa at FCSS to talk more about Risk Management and about getting the right volunteers into the right jobs. 7806 32-39 6 6 or volunteers@vegreville.com .

Submitted Lamont County’s award winning Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival promised more fun, activities, and attractions for 2014 at a recent Edmonton Media Launch. “Last year we invited all Ukrainians and ‘wannabes’ to Andrew to help celebrate
and honour Ukrainian culture. This year we’re saying come back and let us help make some Bucket List wishes come true,” said Festival Coordinator, Hazel Anaka in her festival overview. The Bucket List comment was an obvious reference to the back of the 2014 Festival
post card which lists some must-dos: get a photo with festival ambassador Baba Magda, eat pyrohy and drink Na Zdorovlia, learn the Pyrogy Dance, check out the expanded Baba’s Bazaar and more. Anaka went on to announce the new activities planned See Story..........................Page ##

To cover or not to cover Agri-News That is the question. Traditionally, hay and pasture land was seeded with a cover crop as a way of competing with weeds and reducing soil erosion. In these systems the perennial forage seedlings had to
compete with the more robust and highly competitive annual crop seedlings which resulted in a thin stand the first year. Often it would take two to three years for a pasture or hayland to fill in resulting in low yields and reduced
stocking rates. The invention of herbicides and direct seeding systems has provided more options for establishing hay and pasture and has resulted in shorter times to reach full production. “Using herbicides to clean up the field and direct seeding to reduce soil erosion eliminates the need for a cover crop,� said Linda Hunt, forage specialist at Alberta Agriculture. Another reason that a cover crop may be seeded is to act as a carrier to prevent bridging in the seed hopper. The goal should be to use the minimum amount of grain to minimize comple-
tion for light, moisture and nutrients. A high phosphorus fertilizer is sometimes used as a carrier however the fertilizer can negatively affect the inoculant on the alfalfa. The term cover crop is often used to refer to companion cropping. In a companion cropping system the goal is to maximize the yield on both crops. There has been a lot of research on companion cropping systems and the results are variable. In most cases, yields of the two crops seeded together are lower than if each crop was seeded separately. Results are best when the two crops are even See Story.......................... Page 17

Rosanne Fortier Ten years of living never dampened St. Mary’s and Vegreville Composite High School’s Class of 2004’s bond and youthful spirit which they showcased as they held a joint reunion on July 12 at Vegreville’s Rotary Peace Park. The reunion centered around a barbecue and party which was embraced with a mood of celebration as 65 citizens which included Class of 2004’s graduates with their spouses, former professional staff and teachers who mingled as they worn rapt and joyous expressions on their faces while laughter rippled out from their midst. Curtis Prymak, Laryssa Toroshenko from VCHS spearheaded this event which was hosted with the collective effort of Adam Bilyk and Jamie Hirsch from St. Mary’s, who also helped to organize this reunion. Prymak explained

how the reunion went. “The reunion was a great success. We had a good turnout and I believe everyone enjoyed themselves.” Prymak said that he doesn’t think that any of the former students did anything too outrageous
with their lives. Several graduates held the careers they desired when they graduated. He planned to be an electrician when he graduated in 2004 and this is the occupation he still holds.

Vegreville’s biggest patriot of the Empire, May Windels, tenderly holds a replica doll of His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge which she received from the Bradford Exchange recently. The young prince turned 1 year old on July 22, 2014. Windels brought the little doll, which has a porcelain face and limbs, with her to her church where her lady-friends all took turns holding the “baby” and had their pictures taken. On a final note, yes, the strawberry blonde hair is real human hair, presumably not however, from the prince himself. (Michael Simpson/Photo)

competitors with different harvest dates, and are highly dependent on the right moisture at the right time. Alfalfa and annual cereals are not even competitors and so companion cropping alfalfa with cereal
silage is a risky practice and is not recommended. Another type of cover crop system that is gaining popularity is the practice of seeding a mixture of several soil building plants after an annual crop is removed. The idea is that the plants
will condition the soil by encouraging the development of favorable microbes and organic matter. The goal of these systems is to have the soil always growing and covered. These crops are then grazed, winter killed, or killed with
herbicide and the next annual crop is direct seeded into the residue. This system should not be confused with the cover cropping systems recommended for establishing perennial forages. Clean fields and direct
seeders are ideal for maximizing yields in the first year and establishing crops quickly. “Choosing whether to use a cover crop or not will depend on the state of your field and your equipment. When you have the option to not use a cover
crop take it,” Hunt said, “the most productive years for alfalfa are the first five to six after seeding. Thin crops that take years to fill in seldom reach their maximum potential yield.”

Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival Promises More in 2014 continued CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9
for the August 23-24 weekend in Andrew. As Canada marks the 100th anniversary of WW I Internment Operations the Festival is providing their own tribute to the nearly 5000 Ukrainians interned, through displays, talks by internee descendants, and the screening of a documentary. 2014 also marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Ukraine’s favourite son, Taras Shevchenko: poet, painter, nationalist. The Festival is partnering with Edmonton’s St. Matthew Ukrainian Bilingual School by showcasing student work about Shevchenko. In addition on Sunday a Citizenship Judge will preside over a Reaffirmation Ceremony for any Canadian citizen who wants to recommit to the best country in the world. With all that’s gone on in Ukraine since November it should be especially poignant for Ukrainian-Canadians.
Lamont County’s Economic Development Manager, Jim Newman thanked the media, guests, and sponsors in attendance before declaring Lamont County Borshch Capital of the World. “I thought we were going for national recognition not world domination,” laughed Anaka before explaining the borshch plans. “We’re inviting all ‘closet’ borshch cooks to enter our second annual Borshch Cook Off and vie for prizes and 2014 bragging rights. Chef Gail Hall will be teaching a borshch cooking demo class on Saturday but space is limited so people are urged to buy their ticket early that day.” Also new this year is the chance to bid on three unique silent auction items (1. private cooking class for 6 with Chef Gail Hall, 2. horilka (vodka) tasting for 16 and 3. premium vodka in a glass hockey stick) that are fun, experiential and will extend the festivalgoing experience.
Anaka wound up her remarks about the expanded Outdoor Music Jam and Baba’s Bazaar displays of Ukrainian-themed educational and retail vendors. Baba Magda then rose to list the return of favourite festival features: passports for Ukrainians and ‘wannabes;’ shuttle tours to the Ukrainian church, museum and grain elevator; Sunday morning Divine Liturgy; kids’ activities; demonstrations by a farrier, pysanka writer, and a blacksmith; beer garden; junior dancers and Ukrainian food all day long. Baba Magda also urged people to buy tickets for the Zabava early because last year they sold out. This year’s lineup features performances by Cheremosh Ukrainian dancers and a Ukrainian quartet Zabava u Koli. Chosyn Catering promises a Ukrainian feast and The Playboys promise great dance music. For more information about entering the Borshch

Explosive Science program rolls with a ball of inventions
These young scientists listen closely as Shelby Homeniuk, Summer Programmer for Eureka explains about the process of creating bouncy balls. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)
Rosanne Fortier Every invention was developed from a person being curious and daring. Young participants had a ball when they began to learn to dye flowers and created bouncy balls at the first Explosive Science program on July 7. This program is held each Monday in July and is part of TD’s Eureka Summer Reading Club at Vegreville Centennial Library. Shelby Homeniuk, Summer Programmer for Eureka, instructed the children on how to dye a flower
and led them in the process on how to create the balls. Homeniuk explained how their first science inventions went. “Our objective behind this program goes with our theme, Eureka, which is discovering, exploring and finding answers to the big idea of how stuff is created. Science is about learning and growing. The participants received a lot of personal development. I feel that the children learned that when you experiment, things don’t turn out exactly the way you want them
to, we had a few science experiments that didn’t turn out for certain people. I think the kids learned that patience is a good thing because they needed this trait to make some of their experiments happen; it took time for the flowers to get dyed. “Overall, I think the kids had fun. We are planning to do a lot more science experiments in our summer program; this was just an introduction to it.”
These girl’s substance they created begins to take on the form of a bouncy ball. Shelby Homeniuk told them that the ball might not bounce on the floor but will bounce on a table when it’s dry. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)
