Break and enter at VM Systems

ATV Safety is a must Page 7 for quad riders

Michael Simpson Editor On June 9 at 6:03 a.m. a male was captured on surveillance video breaking

into a company vehicle at VM Systems, a local Technology Management firm

in Vegreville. The man drove in and parked behind the company vehicle, walked over to the

passenger window and used a tool to punch the window open. From there, he leaned into the

vehicle and grabbed items in the vehicle through the broken window. The man then loaded all the

contents into his vehicle before returning to pop the driver’s side back window, lifting tools from the SUV, which he calmly deposited into his vehicle again.

VM Systems contacted police and supplied them with footage of the crime along with the list of stolen items, and also released the video footage to the press. If anyone can positively identify the man pictured in the video, available for viewing on the News Advertiser’s Facebook site, www. facebook.com/vegreville, they are asked to contact police at (780) 632 2223 or Crimestoppers at 1 (800) 222 TIPS (8477).

Hairy Hill looks to install playground Don de Beaudrap Can you remember either going to school in Hairy Hill or attending ball tournaments there in later years?

The local school playground was always a magnet for young children. Even older kids enjoyed the swings and teeter totters. The present generation of kids in the Hairy Hill region deserves a place to play. One that is safe, challenging and fun.

Hairy Hill experienced a tragic loss of most amenities over the past few decades.

Recent migration to the area has seen new families settle and the hamlet has begun to express life once more in the merry sound of children at play. This is a true sign of a healthy community, one

area for kids and families.

This lasting legacy project has the additional benefit of helping bridge generations of new residents into the community. What a legacy indeed!

The old hotel property north of the hall has already been purchased and phase one of the development project will begin with construction of the playground and basketball court this summer. A design is being finalized so that construction can commence while fundraising proceeds. Next year as more funds become available the BBQ area and gazebo will be completed along with the hall deck and landscaping.

To build on this site requires

that is rising from the ashes and wreckage of its past.

The Hairy Hill Community Club, together with the Hairy Hill Elks, is seeking to serve its growing community by developing and expanding the diversity of the community centre. New outdoor event options at the hall will include a playground, basketball court, an outdoor deck, BBQ area, gazebo, and some landscaping. By expanding the community centre to include outdoor activities, our hope is that the increased versatility and usage will help foster renewed community spirit and provide a safe play

substantial preliminary grade work including having two old wells decommissioned and a large concrete cistern removed. There will be considerable back fill, compaction, grade leveling and the addition of perimeter fencing.

Application for a provincial government Community Facility Enhancement grant was successful and is being applied to the project along with matching funds in kind from the County of Two Hills.

Monsanto Community Fund also provided a grant towards this project. The Elks and Community Club

each contributed significant funds to purchase the property. Now there is an appeal for the community to help raise the remaining $20,000 needed to complete phase one of the project.

A playground is always a great place of challenge, discovery, excitement and freedom for kids. The unstructured play is creative, and helps build character.

There are always other kids there and new friends to make. Someone will always think of something different to do and the game is on.

How high can you go? How fast? And can you keep your balance - and do it without falling? This is how joyful

memories are built.

On Friday June 19th there will be a fundraising family BBQ supper with no admission charged other than your donation and participation in the bake sale, silent and live auction. The BBQ will take place at the Hairy Hill Community Hall starting at 5 p.m. Everyone is welcome and we are planning some fun family activities to go along with this. All proceeds will be donated to the Hairy Hill Community Club in support of this wonderful project. For more information please contact Don de Beaudrap at (780) 768 2476 or Soren Odegard (780) 632 8745.

Willingdon budget puts village back in black Michael Simpson Editor After seeing a tax increase of heavy proportions in 2014, Willingdon’s Council and Administration have worked to cut the mill rate and taxes back by 30 per cent for 2015.

It’s a move that Mayor Marie Zwozdesky said is a strong indication that the villages’ affairs are falling into order, despite the ongoing viability review being carried out by the province.

“I’m pleased with the way the budget went this year, and the residents are much happier this year. Our mill rate is much lower and I think we’ll be okay,” Zwozdesky said. The budget process for the village included hearing feedback from residents who participated in open meetings held at the village office.

“It took a little longer in

the planning stages, but input was taken from those residents who attended the meetings. I think the viability review team will find we’re moving in the right direction as a community.”

Newly elected councilor Ron Rudkowsky, who stated “you can’t raise taxes to buy viability,” in December of 2014 now has gone further, noting that being able to shed 65 per cent of last year’s tax increase of the books is a good indication that viability is a reality for the village. “Our goal with this budget was to reduce the mill rate by 6 mills. Now, taxpayers will pay taxes equal to other communities our size. We do have to be careful not to break the bank however; we do have some projects we need to get done. Our Chief Administrative Officer has done a good

job in looking over the numbers,” Rudkowsky said. This year’s rate of taxation dropped from 19 mils to 13.5 for residential assessments, a near complete realization of council’s goal.

Non residential assessments will be taxed at 17.9 mils, with a total of $269,915 collected in taxes this year.

Rudkowsky took the seat of former village councilor Lar r y Poznansky, who succumbed to cancer after a lengthy fight earlier this year. “It’s definitely a loss,” Rudkowsky said.

“Larry was well-liked.”

Rudkowsky was a former village councilor in Willingdon from the late 70’s to the 80’s.

Village of Willingdon Chief Administrative O f f icer Adam Kozakiewicz said after securing grant funding this year previously untapped, infrastruc-

ture upgrades to the village’s lagoon system will go ahead, as well as an infrastructure study to see what condition the underground services are in. After bringing budget numbers back in line, Kozakiewicz said taxes will now be commensurate with the current levels of service, and infrastructure repairs should stay within the village’s abil-

ity to manage. “We heard that the previous year’s taxation rate was unsustainable from many residents,” Kozakiewicz said. “We took action on that and dug deep into a cost-savings approach as well as chased down more grant money.

Previous accounting and water testing contracts are being done in-house to save staffing costs, and

we’ve done a better job of leveraging municipal assets with neighbouring municipalities to better realize the costsaving benefits of Intermunicipal cooperation.” Kozakiewicz said a 10-year capital plan is also being developed to ensure capital grant funds are spent in the proper order.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER

COMPILED BY DAN BEAUDETTE

90 Years Ago – June 10, 1925 W.G. Scott, a delegation to Town Council, is asking for reduction in water rates at Dairy also relative to provision of Dairy By-Law asking that provision be made for the licensing of delivery vehicles.

Resolved that water rates be investigated and report be submitted with a view to formulating a special industrial schedule.

W.G. Cole has purchased through O.O. Coe out of Dr. C. Head’s well known stable of high class draft horses at Regina, Sask., the Champion Belgian Stallion “Fairmont Distrait.” This beautiful colt while only five years of age has been shown three times and was twice Grand Champion and once reserve Champion at three of the largest shows in western Canada.

Eastern Canada and parts of the Eastern States suffered from a terrible heat wave last week, which was accompanied in some cases by heavy storms. The toll of lives taken by the heat runs beyond 250 and there were, of course, many more who were prostrated by the heat.

75 Years Ago – June 5, 1940 At the Monday luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Bond, who was presiding, brought up the matter of the annual Dominion Day Celebration, Monday, July 1st. The Kinsmen Club had suggested that they take charge and turn the net proceeds over to the Red Cross. But a certain hitch has arisen in that many people seem to prefer having the day’s events under charge of a Citizen’s Committee. The Kinsmen of course, would be asked to take part, but again, it seems their charter forbids them sponsoring any event under their name in support of any other organization. However, it is said that a committee of the Kinsmen will meet with a committee of citizens and arrive at some decision.

The Canadian Red Cross immediately on outbreak of war, set up war time activities and energetically went to work. Up until a few weeks ago, reserve stocks had been created; Polish and Finnish refugee relief was a large problem however. In the last few weeks demands beyond the wildest dream of anyone have been made and these stocks quickly shrunk. The Vegreville Branch with its splendid Auxiliaries, has shipped over 1,700 articles with just under 100 more going on Saturday. Help the Red Cross to help the victims of war.

50 Years Ago – June 10, 1965 St. Joseph’s Hospital School of Nursing marked the fiftieth year of operation at the weekend by welcoming many former student nurses back to commemorate the occasion. Among the nurses who visited at local homes during the week-end were: Mrs. B. Forbes, nee Doreen Brinton of Westlock, who visited with her sister, Mrs. J. Hantiuk; Mrs. Dwight Scott, nee Myrtle Everett, who visited at the Earl Glorsline home; and Mrs. H.C. Walker, nee Nellie McAreavy, who visited with her sister, Mrs. C. Brantland.

Marvin Galloway, contractor who is demolishing the old St. Joseph’s General Hospital building, reports the work proceeding very favorably and advises that those persons wishing to pick up lumber and bricks should do so immediately. He informs that the third floor of the building is now completely removed and that the work on the remainder of the building should be completed about the end of June.

A record 1.620 people attended the pool during the first eight days of the 1965 swimming season. Undoubtedly, the pleasant water temperature had something to do with this because the weather definitely was not always ideal.

25 Years Ago – June 5, 1990 Participation 90 was an awesome success this year due to the efforts of the organizational team, volunteers, and the many citizens of Vegreville who participated in the challenge. Vegreville officially competed with Peace River to see which community could get the largest percentage of citizens to do 15 minutes of physical activity. Vegreville came out the winner with a convincing 48%.

“Cut the chocolate, cut the chips, cut the soft drinks, trim the hips” was part of the winning rap song by 12 elementary school students from Bellis. The group of grade three, five and six students won a northeastern Alberta nutrition month contest that asked participants to give a nutrition message in rap. The winning rap was professionally recorded and played on local radio stations during nutrition month. The winners also received $600 from the Alberta Food Processors Association. The Wainwright Clove Crafters 4-H Club won the $200 second prize in the Fab 4 Nutrition Rap contest. Third place went to Julie Kowal, and Stephanie Millman, of Mundare.

The Vegreville Composite students Union had a different way of exam stress relieve, when they hosted the “Pre-exam tension breaker” on Thursday, May 31. A dunk tank offered students three chances for $1 to soak their favorite teacher. It was a hit among the students.

ATV safety is a must for quad’s riders

These 37 children from six to 16 years old at the ATV Safety Awareness Day were attentive to answers from m AnnieLouise Danilak’s questions well at the ATV Safety Awareness Day hosted by Vegreville Agricultural Society on Vegreville Fair Grounds on May 24. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier Our brain controls all the functions of our body. No one has ever had a brain transplant. That is why everyone must wear a helmet when riding a quad. This was the main point taught to 37 children from six to 16 years old at the ATV Safety Awareness Day hosted by Vegreville Agricultural Society on Vegreville Fair Grounds on May 24.

Mudd Safety Awareness hosted junior training for ATVs, Taylor Mitchell and Kaitlin Romaniuk also were involved in the hands-on activities in the afternoon where everyone got to practice riding a quad.

Annie proceeded to tell the kids that they need to wear protected gear such as a helmet, chest protectors, gloves, goggles, shoes or boots that are properly tied up and long sleeve shirts. But the helmet is the most essential gear and riders have to make sure their helmet is done up.

It’s important to know where we are riding so we know what to expect.

“Roll-overs on flatland are the number one way that kids have accidents on their quads because people get too confident and ride too fast. Quads for children can go up to 50 km per hour and a quad for an adult can drive up to 130 km per hour.” Lead Instructor AnnieLouise Danilak stated. “The best way to avoid this is to slow down. Quads are really heavy too. An adult quad goes from 800 pounds to 1100 pounds.

If any quad fell on a child, they would get severely injured. Also, it’s not okay to drive on a highway with a quad because the quad’s tires aren’t made to ride on this terrain.

“Stay away from the water when riding quad because the quad could land on you in the water and you could drown.”

Danilak added.

Danilak then asked the children to demonstrate how to position their legs in a rider’s stance (knees are drawn outwards from the quad) so they can maneuver and position their bodies properly. Our knees are our shock absorbers for our body.

Children should never double on quads not unless it is specified that the quad is meant to do this and it’s a twoperson or two-up quad. Two-up quads are longer, have a sign and foot rests on it.

“In the rider’s stance if you feel the quad is flipping over you, jump off the quad.” Danilak explained while she showed how this position enables a person to push their foot and land up away from the quad.

In emergencies, it’s essential not to move the person and check to see if they can speak. It’s best not to ride the quad for help because when a person is anxious, they could get into another quad accident. A person should walk to the nearest road and get help. Tell the person you find that someone had a quad accident. If there is more than one person around, one should stay with the person that is hurt and put a bright blanket on them. Make sure the person

who is hurt doesn’t ride the quad because he doesn’t have the strength to do so.

“Have a plan where you tell your Mom and Dad where you will be going on your quad and when you will be back.

There might not be an accident but your quad could stop and the rider might be out in the bushes, get lost and be gone for a long time and if no one knows where they are at, it’s hard to get help.” Danilak added.

A series of interconnecting Loops Rosanne Fortier When generations relate together, they develop appreciation and empathy for each other. On June 1, Grade five students from A.L Horton

School and seniors jumped at the opportunity to participate in Loop the Library. There were many meaningful conversations at the conversation stops while

participates strolled from the librar y to Vegreville’s Sunshine Club Centre.

Students said that every child’s role model should be their parents because their parents live with them every day. An adult asked if the kids chose their role model. The students replied that they feel they do and they chose them because this person set an example by working the way they want to when they get older. “If the person is selfish and has too much of an ego, I wouldn’t choose them for my role model.”

One young gal commented.

A senior said a role model is someone you would like to be like when you get older. He described his biology teacher he had in high school.

When asked what it means to work hard, a student said she had 10 horses and two on the way and she has to feed them and give them water on a regular basis. A senior said

that when he was young, he had to help with a lot of chores. Every time his mother did the washing, they had to make sure the wood was chopped and in the house for the fire. Then they had to go three doors down and pump water from the pump and carry it for their mother to do the washing.

On June 2, Grade five students from St. Martin’s School and seniors enjoyed the tranquility of Elks/Kinsmen Park while they engaged in conversations at the pit stops.

“We host this event to connect the generations and decrease stereotypes among them.

This results in a safer community.

When people feel connected, they are more likely to help each other out.”

Heather Frayne, Success Coach for M.O.D.E.L Project said.

These events were organized by M.O.D.E.L Project in partnership with FCSS, A.L. Horton School, St. Martin’s School and seniors.

Sewer break repaired

Michael Simpson Editor

Sometimes it really is true when people say crap rolls downhill. In the case of Vegreville, it was rolling downhill from a forced sewer main which had broken in between the Town’s lift station and the sewage

lagoons.

The effluent at the top of the pipe’s slope at the lagoon end began to roll backwards, exiting a break in the line near the Vermilion River.

The break was discovered by a town employee on an inspection run and a repair crew was mobi-

lized immediately.

A lberta Environment was notified and site sampling was done as per legislated protocols by town staff while excavation got underway.

By Tuesday, the culprit had been identified; a failed repair clamp from a previous break.

Only designed to last about 25 years, the clamps’ welds had reached the end of their life span.

Public Works crews dug up and introduced new clamps along a 10-meter section

of pipe by Wednesday with an added layer of cathodic protection that will add considerably longer life to the pipe and flanges being put into commission. The line was back filled before the weekend after additional service work on the line was carried out by workers, and final samples for fecal coliforms, bio-oxygen demand, suspended solids and ammonia were sent in to Alberta Environment as per protocol.

Kids of Steel

Dan Fisher, Race Director explains about the three parts of the triathlon to the 94 athletes who participated on June 6. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier In life, there are habits that are worth keeping. A triathlon helps kids to score healthy points in the game of life.

The Kids of Steel Triathlon did this when it kicked off on June 6 at Vegreville Fitness Centre through the swimming, biking and running portions of the event, regularly held on the first Saturday of June now for the past 8 years.

There were 94 athletes from local areas and from across the province. The ages of the kids ranged from five years old to 15 years old and the adults went up to 51 years old.

Dan Fisher is the Race Director and Founder for Vegreville’s Triathlon which has the motto: healthy choices and healthy life. Dan’s wife, Brenda spearheaded all the food for this event and everything at the race followed this policy.

“The race went fabulous.

Our volunteers stepped up at the last minute and there was a phenomenal turnout of volunteers. We are very grateful for all these people because if we don’t have the volunteers, our athletes wouldn’t have the race. I also want to offer a special thankyou to Kim Mosiuk because Kim and my wife Brenda and I do the organizing months in advance before the race.

Kim is my right hand and she has an integral role in it.

A tribute needs to be paid to the Giffin family and Miller family who provided unbelievable, steady assistance

from day one. Jeff Massey and his wife, Marlys who really gave phenomenal help the last two years and Nathan Henry who provides all the paramedic help on the race route every year. ” Fisher said.

“People e-mailed me and mentioned that their kids say that they can’t wait to return next year because this is the number one event in Vegreville!

“An addition for this year was we hired Mathew Nawrot to be an air-brush tattoo artist. He is very talented. The kids thought it was fabulous to get a tattoo which will stay on for about a week. The adults enjoyed the tattoos too. These were done in multiple colors and styles which Mathew made unique for each person. Some were of our Triathlon logo which is iTRI and it stands for a person trying their best in everything they do.

“The reward to volunteering for this event is we get to see all the smiling faces. Kids are being their best while they have the best time.

Children want to go swimming, biking and running.

“Next year, we will have our new King of the Hills challenge which is a timed hill climb. My goals are to get school participation within Vegreville higher and maybe we will try to develop a Triathlon club in town or get a swim team back together,” Fisher said.

The race results and 10 sponsors are posted on iTRI. ca.

After excavating a section of sewer main beneath the intersection at 50th Street and 45 Avenue, crews discovered an old section of concrete sewer drain to be crumbling from decades of H2S exposure along the top of

the pipe. The more they tried to dig back to find a solid place to tie into the line, made of concrete poured in the 1950’s, the more they had to keep digging until they ran into a section of clay tile line solid enough to take

the new line. Crews will be fixing up this unaccounted for complication to the 50 street replacement project and heading south in the coming week. The entire $3 million project is expected to be complete in the fall.

Rosanne Fortier MacArthur Kowalchuk is a Grade 12 student at St. Mary’s. He was selected to attend the 4-H Canada

Members Forum in Regina, Saskatchewan f rom November 25-29, 2015.

This program will discuss current sustainable agricultural issues and how youth can make a difference. The theme will be Environment and Healthy Living.

“I think I was chosen because of my diary points at 4-H. This is all the things I have done all-year with 4-H. I have done provincial judging which gave me extra points.” MacArthur said. “I’m very excited because I was picked out of 103 kids. There were a lot of emotions going through my head about which of the f ive trips I wanted to choose. I chose Regina because I have family there

and I want to go to the Canadian We s t e r n Agribition which is the largest agricultural and livestock show in Canada. I live on the farm and I love it. I’m running my own cows right now and I own my own purebred herd. I want to be an electrician and a farmer on the side after I graduate.”

“The program is three days of conference work.

Then there will be one or two days of walking through Agribition.”

Mac A rthur added. “I’ll be meeting kids from all over Canada.

I know all the kids from Alberta who will be attending. I hope to gain additional knowledge about farming and more peopleskills from this program.”

Lakeland Girls Participate in Opening Ceremonies for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 Submitted The Lakeland District Soccer Association is plea s e d to announce that 22 girls from our

under 10 youth programs were selected by the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 organizing committee to take

part in the opening ceremonies at Commonwealth Stadium this past Saturday, June 6th 2015. The Lakeland District Soccer Association was selected from soccer clubs and districts from all over the province for this prestigious opportunity.

Our girls, aged 8 to 10 years old, were selected from communities across our district to participate in the youth program as player escorts for the

two opening day m atc hes at Commonwealth Stadium. Players came from Cold Lake, Bonnyville, St Paul, Lac La Biche, Vermilion, Wainwright, and Vegreville A lberta.

T he player escorts participated in youth program activities prior to

the matches, met with players from the Women’s National Teams of Canada, China, New Zealand, and the Netherlands and then escorted them out onto the field for opening day matches in front of the record setting crowd of over

53,000 fans in the stadium and an estimated one billion more watching around the world on TV. (BBC.com June 6 2015) As President of the Lakeland District Soccer Association, I am proud of our girls and the way that they represented their communities, the district and the province

of Alberta. True soccer ambassadors, their love of the game, eagerness to represent our small district and the pride they showed in being part of something so big cannot be understated. They are true superstars!

The Lakeland District Soccer Association’s mission is to govern and promote the

sport of soccer and to continually foster its growth and development throughout the Lakeland District in the Province of Alberta. We are registered with t he A lber t a Soccer Association as District 12. LDSA is the second largest geographic district in Alberta.

Our membership includes 20+ Community Associations, more than 2700 youth players aged 3-18, over 1,000 volunteers, coaches, team officials, referees, and administrators.

Rosanne Fortier Drag racing drove towards a great time on May 30 when the first race of the season was held at Vegreville’s Airport. The mission of Vegreville’s Drag Racing Association club is to promote the sport of drag racing in a safe and legal environment and to allow anyone the opportunity to experience it for the first time.

The club also promotes fellowship, teamwork, sportsmanship, and camaraderie within the club. Racing is mainly bracket

racing and when possible, they have a ‘King of the Hill’ where everyone pools a bit of money for the winner together.

Midget B Wranglers and Devin Nahirnak making a difference

When the Midget B Wranglers set out to show support, they really show support. In honour of teammate Devin Nahirnak, who is battling a rare form of bone cancer, the team decided to host a hockey Funspiel at the end of March. Devein took a break after his fourth round of chemotherapy and had the honour of dropping the puck at the tournament.

Other midget teams attended the event to play and show support for a fellow hockey player, and in the process, the team was able to raise $20,853 for the Kids with Cancer Society, an organization that helps children and their families cope with the challenge of battling cancer. The team travelled by bus to present a cheque to KWCS House, and took a tour to see just

Archers at the ready

how their donation makes a difference.

Devin, who hadn’t had much luck in previous months combing through a 24 million-person donor list, also recently had a bone marrow transplant using stem cells from an umbilical cord. Our thoughts are with Devin, his family and the team for their courage and display of heart.

Archery is a great family sport that teaches children discipline. On June 6 and 7, The Vegreville Wildlife Federation’s 4th annual Outdoor 3D Shoot was held at Vegreville Shooting Range. (Rosanne Fortier/Photos)

An ‘illucinating’ point of view

(Left to right) Ernie with his Dad and Mom at the doctor’s office. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo) The doctor informs the family that they all seem to be suffering from ‘illucinations’. Ernie’s Dad asks the doctor if she is suggesting that the whole family is off their onion.

Rosanne Fortier A skillful cast projects a new reality to the audience.

On July 2 and 3, St. Mary’s Drama Club

did this as they performed, Ernie’s Incredible Illucinations by Alan Ayckbourne.

The production

was about Ernie, a young man who dismayed his parents with his improbable imagination. So, they brought Ernie to a doctor in search of a cure. But time demonstrated that Ernie’s illusions came true as the family experienced enemy soldiers coming to their house, secret agents and a boxing grandma.

Finally, the family

returned to the doctor. This professional told them that the family all suffered from having ‘illucinations’; a problem as it turns out that the doctor was suffering from as well.

The audience issued a continuous standing ovation at the end of this production. The dedicated drama teacher who led this cast was Mrs. Terlesky.

The cast included Adam Dennill, Casey Fisher, Jessica Fisher, Danielle Giffin , Bailey Stefan, Erica Andrews, Cassidy Babcock, Daphne Bronowski, Chantelle Gehl, Alexis Salisbury, Brianna Slater and Anita Trosin. The lights and sound crew were Jessica Kile, Jasper Barleta, Wyatt Miller and Dexter Fradette. A huge thank you was offered to the secretary, Mrs. Spate for her spaghetti dinner.

Proceeds totaling $1,200 from the carwash will be donated to the Stollery Children’s Hospital – the charity chosen by this year’s class. The class appreciates all the support shown by the community with special appreciation to Vegreville Ford, Home Hardware, Vegreville Co-op, Boston Pizza, 7-11, the Dollar Tree, and all the parent and staff volunteers.

Tulip Time Sale brightens the world

Artwork by Sariana Kirk from Warwick held polymer clay and acrylic paintings. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier Artwork expresses all we can be. Creating a piece makes an artist travel through life with a brightcolored attitude. Vegreville Visual Artists really let the sun shine out of the former Saan building when they held their Tulip Time Popup Sale on May 14.

Art by Lois featured an impressive array of detailed drawings and cards. Lois Bienvenue creates original wood carvings too.

Leora Johnston from Andrew was an artist who not only sold her work but she demonstrated how to paint with acrylic paints and use a person’s time in a creative manner.

Kari Fell presented all her drawings and paintings.

Fell now makes Tojada hats.

“These hats are one-of-akind, handmade and sewn by me. I try to use a lot of fabrics from left-over quilts that would otherwise be discarded and I use upholstery samples too.” Fell said.

“It usually takes about two hours to make a hat. The name, Tojada is from the first two letters of each of my children’s names.”

Sariana Kirk from Warwick displayed her polymer clay and acrylic paintings. “This is my first time at this sale. I been doing art for a long time but I’ve only been serious about it the last few years. I like doing artwork because it’s relaxing and I feel proud of the finished project.” Kirk said.

Ron Sembal showcased his

ink, charcoal and pencil drawings. He also had 3D glass etching. One piece was done in the style of the scythians which were the nomads that roamed in the Ukraine.

Rekindled Treasures by Dawn Hoggins had projects of reusing, repurposing and recycling materials to make unique gifts and house wares.

The Grades one and two classes from St. Martin’s School and A.L. Horton presented many spring time drawings on the walls.

Other featured artists were Dianna Sapara, Gloria Sen, Diane Fausak, Joyce Bryden, Marg Varga, Pam Cole, Bev McCarty and Vivian Annell.

Customers were intrigued by these Tojada hats.“These hats are one-of-a-kind, handmade and sewn by me. I try to use a lot of fabrics from left-over quilts that would otherwise be discarded and I use upholstery samples too.” Fell said. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Jayden Bay takes on Oriole Youth Adventure Challenge

Rosanne Fortier St. Mary’s students are really gaining valuable life experiences. St Mary’s grade 10 student Jayden Bay was one of 15 students in Canada who participated in the Oriole Youth Adventure Challenge from April 13-17, 2015 in Victoria, British Columbia. The OYAC is a 5-day leadership program aboard HMCS Oriole. This is the sail training vessel of the Royal Canadian Navy. She is a 31-metre sailing ketch, currently the oldest commissioned vessel in the RCN. During the Second World War she was chartered by the RCN as a training vessel. This was Jayden’s first time sailing.

“Initially, I was excited but a bit nervous to go because I’ve never flown by myself before nor participated in a leadership program like this alone with 14 students I didn’t know. Once I arrived, I met a lot of cool people and I was fine.” Jayden said. “I believe I was chosen to go because I’ve done a lot of volunteer work for the school and community and have great parents. My grades are good. My principal gave me the option to go on this trip so working hard definitely paid off.”

“The day consisted of having a great

breakfast made by a chef. Then we untied the ropes from the dock and sailed out, made the ropes and everything neat. Once we were out of the harbors, we put the sails up, took the sails down, everyone sailed the boat and was on watch. When we came into harbor, we put the sails down again and then tied the ropes again on the dock and we were at harbor. It is a lot of work.” Jayden explained. “They taught us how to do this and everyone got different sections of the boat to work on. Everyone put up the big sail which was about 600 pounds and we had to lift it up about 50 feet. We broke the lines so the sail could go up.”

Jayden chuckled when he described the scenery saying that he went overboard (figuratively) and took about 400 photos. He would like to have a house by the ocean and a sailboat someday.

“I enjoyed meeting all the people. I couldn’t believe how nice and accommodating the people were. They were patient when they taught us. By the end we were putting up and taking down sails like we were pros.” Jayden said.

“I had to make up my mind not to give up because the sails got really heavy at some points. We were out in the hail. Then it was hard to move the ropes in the rain and we were so tired by the end of the day. The ropes would burn our hands.” Jayden explained. “I didn’t give up because I thought this was a one-chance opportunity.”

“I learned that you can go into a new group of people and not want to leave later. I also discovered how to take risks and overcome challenges.” Jayden added. “I would recommend this experience to others in a heartbeat because it’s an once-in-a-lifetime trip and time flies; you have to make the best of it.”

June 3, 2015 Rosanne Fortier Foot traffic was bustling at the Seniors Citizens Sunshine Club of Vegreville’s Flea Market and Hobby Show on May 23. This sale which held 36 tables and 28 vendors wasn’t a means to generate revenue but an avenue to showcase all the club has to offer. It was also meant to show that the club supports the community, local artists and local home based businesses. “We welcome seniors and others to come join us here at the Sunshine Club and participate in the activities that are compatible with what they like to do. We are open to suggestions. Please feel free to let us know what events you would like us to offer in our facility. The center is mainly for seniors 50 plus, but all demographics of people are welcome here.”

Nick Chrapko, President said.

Also, we wanted everyone to meet our new executive consisting of Marlene Roth, VicePresident, Jocelan Wagner, Secretary, Dwayne Hlady, Treasurer plus 14 directors and many members who help out and participate with activities and events.

Rosanne Fortier Young people learn responsibility and agricultural life skills from caring for a steer, heifer or cow calf.

On May 25, Vegreville 4-H Beef Club Show and Sale was held at Vegreville Fairgrounds. This event included the female show, steer show, supper, championship class/ awards and the sale of these animals. There were three female heifers, 13 Market Steers and one cow calf. The members of the club who participated were Hannah Albrecht, Ethan Bast, Colt Cannan, Sloan Cannan, Sterling Cannan, Gabrielle Cheremshynsk i, Ni c h o l a s Cheremshynski, Litania Holyk, Shawn Holyk, Andrew James, Kaleb Klammer, Linden Stuart and Nolan Stuart.

“The Vegreville 4-H Beef Club’s project is all about raising a Market Steer. We start in the fall with a

steer that weighs from 600 to 800 pounds. We weigh in on the first Sunday in November. There are 200 days on feed until our sale which is the last Monday in May. In that time-frame, members all look after their animals; feed, groom and teach them to lead. During the year, the club does activities such as community services and fundraising, participating in many fun activities, and have meetings to organize events.” Byron James, 4-H Beef Club Assistant Leader explained. “The possible projects they can do are Market Steer, Carcass Class where the animal is judged on the hanging carcass not just the live carcass, Female ClassesHeifer Class and Cow Calf Class which is cared for by a cleaver member. Cleaver members can join when they are seven years old.”

Archers at the ready Mr Muskrat

Corey Skinner practices his archery in preparation for days ahead where Skinner will compete in the Archery 3D World Cup in Italy at the end of August.“Once I made the National team to [compete in] the Worlds, I started shooting 200 arrows a day. I coach archery and I tell my students that it takes shooting 500 to 1000 arrows a week to be the best.” Corey said. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

Rosanne Fortier Archery is a great family sport that teaches children discipline.

On June 6 and 7, Vegreville Wildlife Federation’s fourth annual Outdoor 3D Shoot was held at the Vegreville Shooting Range.

Approximately 120 shooters from across Alberta who ranged from the ages of threeyears-old to 70 participated.

“This is a fun shoot where people mainly compete against themselves while they try to improve all the time. There are no first, second or third prizes but you can see how you did compare to others if you wish to.”

Mikyla Miller said.

Miller has taken first place at regional shoots before. “There are 24 targets set up and you shoot one arrow on each target. After you’re done with your group, you score the arrows, pull the arrows, find your lost arrows and then you walk over to the next target.”

VWF wants to express their gratitude to all the community, their sponsors, the ven-

dors who came out, and everyone who attended, volunteered or supported the organization in anyway.

“We want to offer a special thank you to James Tracy and Jamie Lowes and their families for putting in hours of work to organize this event.”

Miller said.

Champions among us Corey Skinner and his brother, Travis will compete in the Archery 3d World Cup in Italy at the end of August.

“Archery is a passion of mine. I run an archery shop

in Chauvin,” Corey said. “The VWF Archery Club is a great community where everyone helps each other. I’ve had a lot of good influence through archery. I’ve been involved in VWF since it started.”

Skinner said. “I started participat-

ing in archery about 15 years ago. I shoot a lot.

Once I made the National team to [compete in] the Worlds, I started shooting 200 arrows a day. I coach archery and I tell my students that it takes shooting 500 to 1000 arrows a week to be the best.”

This slick rodent was spotted cruising across a shallow pond in a farmer’s field just off highway 16. We think Mr. Muskrat was off to grab some lunch, perhaps with Mrs. Muskrat somewhere out of the frame.

During spring, muskrats will fight for territory and mating rights. When building their homes, raised platforms of mud and vegetation, muskrats will keep marshy areas clear, providing suitable habitat for many species of waterfowl in a symbiotic relationship. (Michael Simpson/Photo)

Kindergarten Orientation gives kids a jumpstart

Rosanne Fortier Childhood is the period in life when children learn best. Welcome to Kindergarten (Kindergarten Orientation) at Vegreville Centennial Library was a thumbs-up event for children to have a successful school career. The Vegreville and District Child Development Coalition, in partnership with A.L. Horton and St. Martin’s School, Alberta Health Services, local community organizations and the Learning Partnership had Kindergarten readiness stations for the children to participate in. There was also water and healthy snacks, door prizes and a free readiness bag to take home and to use

the supplies to have fun and learn. “The goal for this event is to help our new Kindergarten students get ready for September. Through the stations, if the parents and kids can get a couple of strategies to practise at home in the summertime, it will be a plus to obtain the basics for kindergarten. They can practise their letters, use their hand/eye coordination and other micro skills. I took the readiness bag home for my four year old, who will be starting kindergarten.

She loves it and is learning so many micro skills from it,” Joseph Dumont, Principal at St. Martin’s School said.
