Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The 20th annual Chipman Show ‘n Shine returned to the streets of the community on June 5.

Participant John Uganecz was all smiles and happy to be a part of such a popular event that attracted with 350 registered vehicles and well over 2,500 plus spectators to the village which is home to around 250 residents.

Uganecz, who resides in the St. Michael area, said he is looking forward to becoming a member of the Chipman Car Crafters Car Club, which hosts the yearly event. “I want to join as there are many members I know and thought it would be great to share in the same passion for cars as this club does.”

His passion for classic vehicles began at a young age with his Hot Wheels collection. He recalled that, “My first car was a 1978 Camaro. It was rough, but over time I modified and rebuilt. That thing was my learning curve. I knew from that time on I wanted classics.

Today I own many classics and tractors too lol, I have a ‘69 Nova, a 20,000 original mile 1966 Cadillac Deville coupe, a 1948 Chevrolet truck, a family heirloom 1953 Fargo pickup, a 1969 VW bug that was built to look like “Herbie” that one is the wife toy I gave her for a anniversary present several years ago.

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

There was a fire at Vegreville Walmart on June 5 at 5:34 p.m.

Vegreville Fire Department Chief Chris Jardine said, “The Vegreville Fire Department (VFD) responded to the Vegreville Walmart for a report of a fire inside their store. Upon arrival, staff and customers were out of the building. The fire was located in the northeast corner of the store, in the seasonal section. Prior to VFD arrival, store employees attempted to extinguish the fire with nearby fire extinguishers.

Fire crews extinguished the fire and began venting the smoke from the building.

A few people were treated by EMS for issues from the fire and one person was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital for non-life threatening condition.

The fire is being investigated and a cause has not been determined at this time,” Jardine said.

Walmart Manager of Corporate Affairs Felicia Fefer stated, “The safety of our associates and customers is a top priority.

Yesterday evening, emergency services attended to an intentionally set fire at our Vegreville store. Thankfully, all associ-

ates and customers are safe. We want to acknowledge all first responders who attended the fire.

This appears to be a criminal act of arson that will unfortunately and unfairly impact our customers, associates and the local community who rely on the store.

Setting a fire in a public setting with hundreds of people inside is shocking, dangerous and shameful.

Rest assured, we are cooperating fully with the police investigation and will do everything we can to ensure the arsonist is identified and held accountable.

The store is currently closed as we carry out the necessary clean-up and repairs resulting from the arson.

The store will re-open as soon as possible while we work with officials to ensure the store is safe and up to the standards our customers expect and deserve.

Walmart will support our associates while the store is closed. They will be paid for their scheduled shifts.

For any additional questions, please contact local police as they lead the investigation. We encourage anyone with information about the identity of the arsonist to contact police.”

News Advertiser – Opinion What is the value of a human life? Some would say priceless.

Others… like the Supreme Court of Canada have a much different opinion and… they make decisions that affect us all.

Back in 2011, changes were made to the Criminal Code in Canada. Section 745.51. These changes allowed judges to “stack” sentences much like is commonplace in the USA. This meant that mass murderers could receive multiple life sentences without the chance of parole for 25 years and these sentences would be served consecutively or “Stacked” rather than serving them concurrently.

At the end of May, that all changed. Chief Justice Wagner wrote in the decision presented by the Supreme Court of Canada about how society changes. What was once considered “cruel and unusual” clearly, (by logical extension?) must also change.

The argument in favor of eliminating the stacking of sentences is that one of these individuals who has been sentenced for multiple murders to multiple consecutive sentences of life without the chance of parole would have no desire for reform if there was no hope for release. Like many things, it boils down to simple math.

You kill 4 people, that’s 100 years before being eligible for parole.

Wager also wrote that stacked sentences or “death-in-prison” sentences were “degrading because they fail to recognize the

intrinsic worth of the incarcerated person.”

At what point in our society did the worth of criminals and murderers become ranked higher than those living within the laws? More importantly, what about the lives of those who were victims of these animals and their families?

Defenders of this baffling decision also go to the “cruel and unusual punishment” argument and add that while parole is always a “hope”, no rational parole board would every grant a mass murder parole, so the system has a failsafe, and we can have the best of both worlds. Dignity and recognition of the “worth” of a murderer along with the security in knowing that parole boards will not do anything as stupid as releasing a serial killer out into the public.

Clearly these folks have never watched the news. Almost weekly we hear about any number of parolees who re-offend.

Heck, you only need to read the local Blotter to know there are too many, and the justice system is a joke.

It doesn’t matter how much you tug at the heart strings, studies have shown that criminals DO reoffend.

State of Washington studied their sentencing in 2007. They categorized the almost 30,000 felony sentences for the year into nine primary offense groups: assault, burglary, drug, manslaughter, murder, property, robbery, sex, and other. While they did not top the list, Murder had a recidivism rate of 52 percent and Manslaughter 38.3 percent.

Another study by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 2013 looked at recidivism rates for those given life sentences compared to those serving a set amount of time. The study found that more than 50 percent of inmates paroled after completion of a determinate sentence were convicted of a new crime within three years following release, compared to only about 5 percent of lifer parolees who were convicted of a new crime within three years following release. In addition, the study found that only 13 percent of lifer parolees returned to prison within three years following release from prison, compared to 65 percent of parolees who had received a determinate sentence.

These studies tell us two things. A very high percentage of offenders re-offend and stiffer sentencing such as “life” is a deterrent.

But hey… if you’re a gambler, maybe knowing that 52 percent of murderers re-offend is good odds. Or if you like to think positively about the numbers, 48 percent of murders DON’T reoffend.

Somehow, the courts are able to put logic aside. They also fail to understand how cruel it is for a family of a victim to be required to go to parole hearings to argue for those serving “life” but eligible for parole to be kept behind bars. Every certain number of years, these families can be guaranteed they will need to re-live their worst days in an attempt to convince a parole board that a killer should not walk the same streets as them. That could be the very definition of cruel and unusual punishment.

People’s lives are destroyed by these crimes. It can consume them and undoubtedly will be with them until they day THEY die; yet our “justice” system seems more concerned with the wellbeing of criminals. If there was ever at time that one might feel ashamed to be Canadian, this could it.

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser A Vegreville tattoo artist lent his creative talents to raise funds in support of the Vegreville and Area Stands With Ukraine Committee.

Sugg.Ink. Owner Garrett Sugg said, “A lot of my close friends and families are from Ukraine. It was something I felt compelled to do. I wanted to try and help out.”

Help out he did with the support of customers who participated in the fundraiser that ran from May 13-15. “It was nice to see everyone come out and support fellow Ukrainian families.” Sugg also gave a shout out to Grandpa Frank’s

Tattoos Owner Frank Urbanovich who came out to assist him in the fundraiser.

One of the families who came out was the Danyluk family from Andrew. Sugg said he was definitely surprised to see the

entire family have tattoos done.

Even though the fundraiser started off slow Friday, he said 14 people were waiting to get in for tattoos on Saturday, and the same for Sunday.

90 Years Ago – June 8, 1932

A meeting of the directors of the Exhibition was held last Saturday. The chief item before the meeting was the matter of dates for the summer fair and the final decision was to hold a two day fair, on Friday and Saturday, August 5th and 6th. Arrangements will be made to secure a Midway and such other attractions as may be considered feasible.

The trophy donated by Chas. E. Shaw for the beast solo or recitation by a public school pupil at the School Festival, was won by Miss Annie Black of the Holden School, who rendered a solo admirably, A parents’ Association was formed on Friday night of the mothers of the Girl Guides in the town. The purpose of the association is that of a sponsor for the work of the Guides and the association looks after possible vacancies in the leadership of the local troop.

Mrs. Browett was elected president and Mrs. Long secretary.

The Canadian government will extend the date at which the fivecent per bushel bonus of wheat expires from June 15th to June 30th. This was intimated in official circles and the order-in-council making the extension will probably be signed today,

75 Years Ago – June 11, 1947

Members and adherents of the Anglican Church in Vegreville have been welcoming their new pastor this week the Rev. H. G. Brant, B.A., L.Th., who arrived from Edmonton to take over his duties as parish priest for St. Mary’s Church, with out-lying mission fields such as Soda Lake and Whitford.

Mr. Thomassen of Innisfree recently sold his entire flock of around 200 sheep and lambs to Weiler & Williams of Edmonton. Mr. and Mrs. Thomassen will be retiring from the farm.

Councillor Hank Bender went to Edmonton on Monday to look over some possible bargains in pipes for the new water system now under way.

Vegreville Jaycees expect to gather about $3,000.00 for their Youth work following the March for Youth held on Sunday. About 180 walkers participated in the annual event with an exceptional 130 completing the 20 mile jaunt. First to complete the walk were Dean Ziegler, Robert Springings, George Chartier, Harold Baxandall and Miss Kathleen Burton.

Participants in the Ottawa Rotary Club sponsored “Adventures in Citizenship” enjoyed themselves immensely in the nation’s capital recently. Taking part in the program is Ila Giebelhaus of Vegreville.

Students from all across Canada participated in the program which in addition to affording a tour of Ottawa permits them to take part in study groups and discussion periods. The Rotary Club of Vegreville participates by providing transportation to and from the capital.

Ken Newton, Ken Gilbert, Dennis Larcombe and Joan Gilbert represented Mannville at the annual League Track and Field meet on May 24th. In the eight events they entered they placed 1st in four and third in the other four. Ken Newton set a record in the Senior Shot Putt with a 39 foot 1 inch throw.

Fly in Breakfast a great success. “It’s Going well,” commented Brian Sokalski, the club’s chairman of the fly-in-breakfast. “We used to have this as an annual event some years ago. We thought we’d try it again to generate interest in the flying business. I think we’ve had a good turnout and I’m hoping we’ll try it again.”

Mundare School will switch back to a five-day school week for the 1997-98 school year. At its board meeting the Elk Island Public School trustees agreed with a request from the school’s advisory council and voted to have the school adopt the Elk Island five-day school calendar. Mundare School had been on a four-day week during the 1996-97 school year and had planned to use it again next year. However, since the school has switched from offering kindergarten to Grade 12 to a K-6 program, the council requested the five-day week to provide shorter days for younger students.

In less than 7 years, the Canadian video outlet in Vegreville has tripled its space. This obviously means more titles available to customers. “We have around 1200 titles just in cartoons and children’s movies,” says owner Ed Heberling.

Via Rail Should be Shut Down or Sold by the Federal Government Ian Madsen Frontier Centre for Public Policy

Investment managers and investors should often ask: If I didn’t already own this stock, would I buy it today?

By any criteria, Via Rail, a federal Crown corporation, is not a good investment – even under unrealistically favourable assumptions. The federal government should rigorously examine this charitably-designated ‘enterprise,’ then aim it toward one of two fates: sale or liquidation.

Via Rail’s chronic cash-burning condition offers no economic value to any potential buyer, though there are always contrarians with the confidence, and perhaps the capability, to turn a seemingly hopeless asset into something valuable. For example, a number of ailing airlines have been bought and sold.

But Via Rail, as structured and priced, has little allure to potential free-enterprise buyers.

Operating and capital funding from the federal government for Via has been massive: $548 million in 2019 (before the impact of COVID-19) and $597 million in 2021, as examples. Sadly, we should expect that massive financial support to continue.

The government should hire management consulting and investment banking firms to review and value Via Rail. By employing a variety of scenarios, including modelling fundamental changes in Via’s orientation, routes and staff levels, an engaged outside consultant should seek out opportunities for Via to move toward future positive cash flow.

Any genuinely independent review by experts would likely conclude that Via Rail requires additional investment and radical modern-

ization – if it is not merely to survive but thrive.

The subsidy per passenger for Via’s Corridor (Quebec to Windsor) route was $180 in 2021. In 2019, before COVID-19, the subsidy per rider was only $80.

The subsidy for each rider taking Via’s spectacular Jasper-Prince Rupert route in 2019 was $483. In 2021, during COVID, that subsidy hit $1,474.

Higher ridership alone wouldn’t eliminate the subsidies.

In the absence of imaginative, radical and, perhaps, ruthless restructuring and reorientation, it’s unlikely that conventional investor valuation metrics (such as enterprise value to revenue; enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, price to earnings, price to operating cash flow, price to free cash flow, and or even price to net asset value) would generate a visible potential value for even the most optimistic of potential buyers.

Yet stranger things have happened, with seemingly unappealing assets snapped up by a strategic industry-savvy acquirer.

Taxpayers will never know unless the federal government puts Via Rail up for sale (either in its current state, imperfections and all or after a credible restructuring plan is produced).

The federal government should embark on setting Via Rail, a truly underperforming asset, on either a sale or liquidation track. Using the cost of federal debt, the present value of Via Rail is about negative $16 billion.

There must be a better use of taxpayers’ money than keeping Via Rail, a chronically bad investment.

Ryley ATB and Village Working to Offer Community Banking Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Even though the Alberta Treasury Branch, (ATB) officially closed down its operation in Ryley on May 12, the company is working alongside council to offer weekly in-person banking services for residents.

ATB Media Relations Strategist Sapna Gupta stated, “We’re working with the Village of Ryley to determine the best time and place to be there to ensure we can provide maximum support, especially for our Ryley clients who have limited mobility.

While details are still being worked out, it has been agreed upon that ATB will donate the branch building to the Village of Ryley so that it can be used to benefit the community.”

She added that once community banking begins, if Ryley residents see the sandwich board outside the branch that means they are inside ready to offer assistance to customers. No appointment will be necessary.

“Clients can also access Ryley’s brandnew ABM; it’s in the same location as the previous ABM.” Gupta said it was recently upgraded to a newer model with enhanced functionality.”

Mayor Nik Lee said, “I am proud of the inputs from council members and CAO

to turn what could have been a negative for the community into a positive.”

Gupta said, “There were four team members employed at the branch before it closed. Plus, the branch manager, who already worked at both the ATB Ryley branch and the ATB Tofield branch. It is important to note that there were no job losses as a result of this branch closure.

The team members our Ryley clients came to know and trust have moved down the road to continue supporting clients out of the ATB Tofield branch.”

She pointed out that the decision to close the branch was not done lightly, and only after extensive analysis of many factors, including client banking preferences. “The way Ryley clients choose to complete their day-to-day banking transactions has changed over time, with more people choosing digital banking options and banking at nearby locations. It is not feasible or sustainable for any business, including ATB, to continue to operate in a community where their services are underutilized.”

Gupta would not disclose how many clients there were at the time of closing, “To protect our clients’ banking activity and information.”

The ATB Ryley branch opened in January, 1939.

Pyrohy for Peace Dinner Raises $18,000 in Canada that we are free and that we are secure and safe. “For people to be in war torn countries and not know where they are going to sleep or what they are going to eat and how long this is going to last is just terrible! We have to support them and pray for them.”

Brad Tymchuk said he wanted to support this cause because they are in trouble in Ukraine. “They need support and help in Ukraine because I think it is not a very rich country and with the war, they are just going to become poorer.”

The renovation. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

We also upgraded the flooring and replaced the old fluorescent lighting throughout the whole area. We are now in the process of redoing the exterior landscaping to bring it all together after construction. This will include re-installing the brick that was removed during the project, completing the sidewalks around the building, and landscaping with some new plants and garden delights.

We started this project in December 2021. It went quite smoothly except for some plumbing issues that were identified in the older part of the building when the new plumbing was added. We had a few sewer backups until we figured out the issue, which was with some older plumbing. There are always little things we didn’t consider, but overall the project went very well.

VALID Association wanted to renovate and expand this space for individuals to use because when COVID hit, we were forced to close our Day Program due to inadequate sanitation facilities and hand washing stations. This led to us identifying some shortcomings in our current building, specifically, our individuals needed their own bathrooms and kitchen so they could wash and sanitize more thoroughly. The decision was made to provide them with the facilities they needed to be more self-contained within their own program space.

We are all so proud of the final results! The individuals (clients) love their new space and it makes them feel special that

VALID did this for them. We truly feel that our individuals now have the space they need, and deserve! They so enjoyed showcasing their new space to the community!”

When asked where the revenue for this project came from, Syms replied, “We had originally applied for, and were not approved, for a CFEP grant, as we aren’t considered a “community facility” in their eyes. VALID Board of Directors then approved the project and we paid for 100 percent of the project out of our own reserves put aside specifically for capital growth projects such as this. When we were turned down for the grant, we all felt it was essential to continue on with the project using our own reserves.

We invited people in the community to this open house and celebration because we are so supported by our community, and so many people had asked about the renovation project over the past year. We wanted to showcase the project to the community and the individuals wanted to share their new space with their family and friends. We felt that hosting an Open House was the best way to share the new space with family, friends and the community in the most efficient manner.

We had about 30 of our individuals in attendance, the mayor and town counsellors, parents, family and friends. In all we counted about 60-70 people who came, had some cake, explored our new space and chatted with staff and individuals. It was well attended and the individuals were so thrilled to showcase their new digs!” Syms said.

Wilde Advisory Group Partner Colette Miller and Managing Partner Curtis Palichuk hosted a Meet and Greet with Alberta’s Former Finance Minister Travis Toews on June 2 in Vegreville.

Toews was elected in the 2019 to represent the electoral district of Grande Prairie-Wapiti. He was appointed as Minister of Finance of Alberta and President of Treasure Board on April 30, 2019 by former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney.

Toews resigned as Alberta’s Finance Minister and just announced that he is running for Leader of United Conservative Party of Alberta. He is the first registered candidate in the upcoming leadership race.

At the gathering, which was held in the company’s board room, former Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach welcomed everyone.

Stelmach said Toews has a very sound educational background as he is a professional chartered accountant and has a farming/beef operation. “He has a business side to him as well as he was involved in oil and gas.”

Fort Saskatchewan/Vegreville MLA Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk brought greetings and said Vegreville is one of the first places Travis has been to on his Alberta tour.

Toews said he is a lifelong Albertan. “I was born in Alberta. My wife, Kim and I have made our home over here. We have three children and 11 grandchildren.

When I was the Minister of Finance, the UCP Government immediately

What was to be one event turned into a passion for many of the riders. The team continued to practice as much as COVID would allow through the 2019-2020 season. In September of 2021 the team partnered with Birch Bay Ranch in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

The team practices weekly and performs patterns on horseback to music striving to showcase excellent horsemanship as well as striving to develop a positive life change in all our riders.

We usually have a group of 16 riders to perform and have a roster of 22 horses and riders. We have riders as young as 14 and the oldest in their late fifties.

Birch Bay Ranch is a Christian summer camp and conference center. We are located close to Sherwood Park. We are open year-round offering many activities including Horseback riding lessons, trail rides, English and western lessons, archery, ropes course and zip lines.

What our team especially enjoys about performing is the camaraderie with each other and learning from each other and our horsemanship. We just have a lot of fun,” Frederick said.

Vegreville 4-H Beef Club Achievement Day Show and Sale was held at Vegreville Agricultural Society Grounds on May 30.

This event was emceed by Peter Conway and the judge was Dave Schneider.

Kelly Weleschuk, Leader for Vegreville 4-H Club, said there were about 175 to 200 people at the sale.

“We host this event to showcase all the steers and female projects as well as give the members the opportunity to work on their judging, grooming and showmanship skills. The members also get the opportunity to sell their steers and with this, they learn to market their steers and get out in the community talking to potential buyers and inviting them to the show and sale.

The 4-H Club gives so many opportunities and teaches so many life skills. With our club, members get to participate in community service volunteering, public speaking and highway clean up.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, When my Dad gives advice I always have to wonder if it is a fact or if he is just pretending to know everything. His latest advice is telling me that I should never buy a car on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning.

I joked with him and said, "Why? Did they not get their coffee yet?" And with a straight face he basically said, "Yes!" I was going to buy a new car soon, but don't want to look like a fool when I ask the salesman what day the car was made. Does it really matter if a car was made on a Monday or Friday?

• • • Cash: Your Dad may be correct

in thinking that many of us are slow on Mondays, especially until that first cup of coffee.

Carry: I sometimes don't come alive until Wednesday if I don't get my coffee.

Cash: However, your Dad's theory of cars produced on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon is a longtime myth. Since the first production of the car, it was often thought that vehicles built on a Monday were full of defects.

Supposedly, workers were recovering from a Monday morning hang-

Reader Humor Diehard American

How long did it take to build your car? You may be surprised to learn that most of the auto manufacturers can produce a car off the assembly line in less than three days. And who is the fastest? According to the last published auto manufacturing study, The Nissan Ultima Plant in Smyra, Tennessee, set the record at 15.33 hours per vehicle. The Toyota Camry plant in Georgetown, Kentucky came in second at 19.5 hours per car. Honda, GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler followed at 32 to 39 hours per vehicle.

Every Saturday morning my Dad and I get together to work on an old Chevy I acquired. That's when I hear him recite his same patriotic speech of how we should only buy American cars.

"They're built to last," he always says.

Last weekend while we were working on the Chevy, he again complained of foreign cars and parts. "In my day you'd look for the union label," he raved. That's when I couldn't take it anymore.

I emerged from under the hood holding a part and said, "I found the union label, Dad. It's right here on the part that fell off."

Cash: Today's new cars have dramatically improved in quality.

Auto manufacturers invested millions of dollars in automation and modern manufacturing equipment.

The improvements guarantee better quality control of the cars rolling off the assembly line.

Cash: But if he still gives you a hard time, just tell him the car is blessed because it was built on Sunday after church.

Carry: It was also thought that cars built on a Friday suffered the same fate because workers were in a hurry to get home for the weekend and took shortcuts in their work.

Cash: Even if the premise held any truth years ago, today's car manufacturing is considerably different.

Carry: Besides the fact that people drink a lot more coffee nowadays, much of a car's production is done by robotics. A car typically takes twenty or more hours to go through a manufacturing and assembly plant. It's virtually impossible to get a car manufac-

Fast Facts Giving Birth

The Vehicle Identification Number, often referred to as the "VIN", first appeared on cars in 1954, but didn't become standardized until 1981. Each of the 17 digits corresponds to the vehicle's production. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd digits identify the manufacturing country, the manufacturer and the vehicle type or manufacturing division, respectively. Numbers 4-8 describe the features such as body style, engine type, model or series.

The 9th digit is a check for VIN accuracy, 10th is the model year, and 11th is the assembly plant.

Numbers 12-17 identify the sequence of production as it rolled off the assembly line.

cess of being completed, formerly owned by a guy who worked out at Castro raceway many years ago.

I’ve had a couple cars that were in decent shape to start out, but I’ve had some start out rough and needed a lot of work. Truly it’s a journey of love when restoring them. It’s ultimately a huge decision as to how far you take a restoration, but always a journey never the less.”

He went on to say, “I have been around this particular car show for many years, all the way back to when it was a small local event to what it is today as I’ve lived and worked in the area for 20 plus years.

My hope is to have my four children one day want to have the same passion for these historical automobiles and maybe want to build a few of their own.”

Car Crafters President Dave Gray was extremely grateful to the sponsors who supported the event, and “most of all the Car Club members who put it on the line for the day. This is a key to the success of our show ‘n shine. When we did the awards presentation to the participants we also got to recognize four of the founding members and a 20 year member.” The founding members include: Alf Zips, Harvey Hauer, Lionel Thomas and Rick Thornton.

The 20 year member is Jane Berg.

Project Easter Basket Receives $1,000 Donation from Town of Mundare Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Several families from Ukraine who have been displaced because of the war are already living in Mundare and more are expected to arrive.

So, it was good news when members of town council recently decided to donate $1,000 towards the project that helps secure housing families for these families. “Every little bit helps,” said Rudy Warawa, who initiated the project with his wife Theresa in late March.

Warawa said that since that time they have received enough funding to support four families.

“Three homes were donated with utilities free of charge.”

From the beginning Warawa said the focus and philosophy has been to secure housing for a one year period, and he wanted to emphasize that there are no hosting arrangements through this project.

“We have exhausted our donated housing and now we’re looking at rental facilities.” Warawa said the seniors lodge in Mundare might able to accommo-

date five to 10 families depending on availability.

Right now, Warawa said the need is for cash donations to help pay for housing. He pointed out that, “As housing opportunities in larger centres dries up, more families are expected to move out into rural areas.”

As well, how much support each family needs depends on what resources they brought with them and if they’ll be working, added Warawa. He is encouraged that there are job opportunities in Mundare as well as Vegreville for them. For example, Warawa said there have been five job opportunities available to families who are within walking distance of their homes, which makes it very convenient for them.

Warawa also wanted to point out that there had been some confusion regarding the name of the project as some people thought it was only for a specific period of time.

He said that’s definitely not the case.

“The Easter basket represents faith, hope and charity. Even though Easter is over, the symbol is still relevant and what it stands for.”

The Basilian Fathers Museum has donated office space in the facility and support is available several days a week.

Tributes MEMORIAM

FEDUN, Albert April 25, 1937 - June 11, 2018 In loving memory of my dear husband who left me four years ago.

If I could write a story It would be the greatest ever told, of a kind, generous and loving husband.

Who had a heart of gold.

I could write a million pages But still be unable to say just how much I love and miss his smile and gentle touch, Every single day of the year.

If love alone could have saved Albert He never would have passed away.

In life I loved Albert dearly In death I love him still In my heart Albert, you hold a place That no one else could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you But you did not go alone For part of me went with you That dreary day God took you home.

I think of you every day, Albert, And the loneliness without you Has an ache deep in my heart.

I have all your lovely great memories With them I’ll never part.

Since God has you in his arms Albert, I have you right here in my heart.

Always loved, remembered and sadly missed by your loving wife Angeline.

Memory Eternal Vichnaya Pamyai

Cody Sharun Nov 22, 2002 -- June 14, 2021 A year ago you left us for an eternal life in Heaven , We have missed you so much and always will forever!

Although too brief, your light and beautiful smile, will shine brightly for all of those who knew you .

It’s sometimes hard to know why things happen as they do , for so much joy and happiness was centered around you.

It’s hard to comprehend that you are no longer here, But all the happy memories will help keep you near!

Cody you had a heart of gold , generous, loving and kind, These are the memories in our hearts you left behind .

You’re thought of often with each mention of your name, death cannot change a single thing as the love will still remain!

We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain , To walk with us throughout our lives; Until we meet again!

Lovingly Remembered & Deeply Missed , Uncle Gordon, Auntie Marilyn, Brett & Tamara

MEMORIAM

FEDUN, Albert April 25, 1937 - June 11, 2018 In loving memory of Our special Dad, kind and generous Gido and the best Great-Gido who passed away four years ago on June 11, 2018.

It is a lonely life without you.

Sad have been all the days.

Our lives are not the same since you were called away.

Each day have loving thoughts of you Every morning and evening a prayer Wishing God had spared you So we could have had a few more years ahead.

But down the path of memories We sadly go on thinking of you each day.

Our thoughts are always with you As life goes on its way Living without you is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us Your heart was so kind and true.

And when we needed someone We could always count on you.

Those special years will never return When we were all together.

But with the love in our hearts.

You will walk with us forever.

Lovingly remembered and deeply missed by; Jamie, Roger, Charlotte, Bernice, Larry, Joshua, Katie, Addison, Gabriel, Erin, Kelsey and Dallas.

Memory Eternal

In memory of Cody Perry Sharun November 22, 2002- June 14, 2021 One whole year since I last heard you getting ready for work. One whole year since what seemed to be a ‘normal’ day then turned into an absolute nightmare.

One whole year since my sweet brother was still with us earth side. Some days, June 14th, 2021 will replay in my head from start to finish in a vicious cycle. I know that every aching memory from that day will be forever engrained into all of your friends and family’s minds for years to come. Your soul was gentle and so kind. We know you loved and cared deeply for all those around you. One thing that has helped me through this year of grief is trying to breakdown the stigma around suicide. I’ve often caught myself being so angry that you selfishly chose to leave behind all those who loved and cared for you so deeply. Instead I’ve chosen to think about it in this way. A person who dies by suicide, is someone who has succumb to the disease of depression. In my eyes, that is no different than a person dying from any other disease. Thinking about it in that way has given me a sort of peace. Even though this past year has been tragic. I do have gratitude for the good that has come about. Such as the Cody Sharun Memorial Scholarship that will continue for the next decade, and The Cody Sharun Memorial Youth Subsidy Fund created by Cornerstone Counselling. None of this would’ve been possible without the amazing community that our family has been blessed to be surrounded by this past year. Cody, Mom, Dad and I miss having you here with us, every single day. But I know that through God we will stay strong and move forward. Each day that passes is a day closer to seeing you again, we all love and miss you beyond measure.

Love, Dad, Mom and Chelsea

MEMORIAM

SHARUN, Cody In Remembrance of Cody Sharun Our time with you was just beginning.

Your soft spoken voice and sweet natured gestures will always be cherished.

Moments and memories made together are being held close to our hearts.

Sleep peacefully dear Cody, Until we meet again With Love from, the Abbott Family

She spent many hours driving back and forth to the farm to be with him. During this time, she found love in cows, travelling to Mexico and Phoenix. Her and the family spent many weekends away from the farm to go camping, boating and fishing which Landis loved. During this time, she also created a strong connection with the farm dog Duke which later became her best friend.

Other things that Landis enjoyed throughout her life were cross stitch, travelling to the mountains, and card games. Landis especially loved crib which she learned from her great aunt and uncle.

Landis is predeceased by Ronald Hunka; Judy Topolnicki; and her grandparents.

Landis is survived by her partner Billy Jo Topolnicki; her son Braden (Kelsey); parents Vern (Linda) Kovac; brother Aaron (Elicia) Kovac and their children; sister Myja (Hugh) Connell and her children; sister Brenda (Todd) Lucas and their daughter; father-in-law William Topolnicki; long-time friend, Rick Hunka (Kim Murray); and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A private family service will be held.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Landis’s memory may be made to Daysland Hospital Foundation, or to the Cross Cancer Institute.

A Kaleidoscope of Fun

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

There were flashing of lightning and thunderous applauses inside Wally Fedun Arena on May 30 when Circus Funtastic (CF) presented two shows to a crowd of people on May 3.

Gustavo Parra, Superintendent and Ringmaster along with fellow ringmaster Jose Miguel. Both were kept busy inside and outside of the show during both performances.

This circus doesn’t use animals in their acts. It was arranged with a regular circular colourful big top with chairs around it.

This circus had an array of different acts. It featured many acrobats and one act of really fast juggler, as well as, an interesting and somewhat nerdy clown, a dance performance, and a real-life transformer.

During intermission, there was a bouncy castle, and pony rides for the kids.

Citizens of all ages gave their impression of the event. Erin Robert said it was

great opportunity for kids to get to experience going to a circus and seeing all the acts. “It was very entertaining and gave people something to do.”

Keana Trent, a young girl, said it was so much fun to watch because there was a lot of stuff happening. “I liked seeing the transformer and Wonder Woman,” she added.

Shirley Jean who went with her two young sons said, “It was a fantastic idea. We really enjoyed the entertainment. We are grateful to the town for bringing the circus to our community.

It was a great way to spend time with family.”

Lakeland MP Responds to Liberals Re-Introduction of Bill C-21 Firearms Confiscation Conservative Party of Canada Submitted On May 30, 2022, the federal Liberal Minister of Public Safety, Marco Mendicino, re-introduced Bill C-21 in the House of Commons, which includes a “freeze” on handgun ownership in Canada. The previous Bill C-21, which contained a number of provisions, including a firearms confiscation program, did not pass all stages to become law before the election in 2021. MP Stubbs was the Shadow Minister for Public Safety before the last election, and led the Conservative Official Opposition’s efforts against Bill C-21 at the time.

Stubbs, the Member of Parliament for Lakeland and the current Shadow Minister for Rural Economic Development and Broadband, commented on Monday’s announcement: “This Liberal government always makes a big show about cracking down on gun violence whenever there is a mass shooting tragedy in either the United States – or, more rarely but no less urgent and heart breaking, in Canada - but their policies won’t actually make the streets and communities safer for Canadians. The current Bill C-21 is a lot like the old one. It targets law-abiding firearms owners, collectors, and retailers while failing to combat the cause of most gun crime in Canada: criminals and gangs with illegally smuggled guns. Today’s so-called freeze on handgun ownership is truly a wasteful and ineffective “guns for gangs only” approach that punishes already legal, law abiding firearms owners, and won’t stop criminals and gangsters who already break the laws, and aren’t worried about lawfully following rules or filing paperwork.”

Canada’s Conservatives are committed to actually strengthen and secure public safety through real action to tackle gun crime head-on. Conservatives have always urged increased funding and coordination for border security to clamp down on illegal firearms smuggling, and continue to call for mandatory minimum penalties to keep violent gang members off the street, and to focus on gangs and criminals by ending automatic bail, revoking parole for gang members, and new and tougher sentences for ordering or involvement in violent gang crime.

“The reality is that gun crime and shootings are up in Canada under the Liberals.

But, incredibly, right now, the Liberals are also pushing through legislation that will eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for dangerous criminals convicted of a wide range of violent gun crimes like robbery, extortion, trafficking and discharging with intent. A core responsibility of government is to protect public safety, and Canadians everywhere, especially in big cities where gun smuggling and crimes are on the rise, should rightfully expect government action, but this Liberal approach is backwards.

“Unlike the Liberals, Canada’s Conservatives focus on real outcomes and whether laws actually achieve objectives. What Bill C-21 proves is that the Liberals, as always, are more concerned with appearances. They play fast and loose with the facts, make up words to scare, and ignore the actual problem. “ “The Liberals are effectively trading on Canadians’ fear and safety for short-term political gain. This week’s announcement continues the Liberals’ ongoing preoccupation with taking firearms away from law-abiding Canadians, while leaving already illegal guns on the streets in the hands of gangs who will never comply, and removing automatic minimum penalties when criminals break existing firearms laws and terrorize victims and innocent Canadians. It just makes no sense.

I will oppose the current Bill C-21 just as I argued against the previous one.”
