and Program Coordinator of Concordia’s School of Music.

Since September 2013, Mireille has been on staff as a vocal coach for the Edmonton Metropolitan Chorus and has a private voice studio and works with students of all levels, from

Returning to the festival this year to adjudicate Bands and instruments including hand chimes, is Russell Whitehead. Russell, a trumpeter, loves music. He has been a session lecturer at the University of Alberta for the past 10 years and now teaches at Alberta College and through his home studio. After 25 years of teaching he is at home working with people of all ages and enjoys the challenge of conducting and giving clinics to larger ensembles. This past year Russell guest conducted with the Mill Creek Brass Band, an ensemble he has also been a soloist with as well. He has been honoured to adjudicate for many festi-

Adjudicating the Ukrainian Language classes is Natalia Toroshenko. We welcome Natalia back to the festival.

Well known to the community in several capacities, Natalia really needs no introduction. A teacher by profession, Natalia was elected in 2004 as municipal councillor in the Town of Vegreville and through re-election served a total of 9 years, including periods as Deputy Mayor.

Since February this year she has

Popular music finds a home at St. Martin’s School Rosanne Fortier St. Martinvilles has their own radio station that has an assortment of all the students’ tastes in music in it.

“Students run this radio station. We interviewed the DJs. The station has teams of DJs, two DJs are in the morning, two at recess, and two are at lunch. They make a play list of country, rock and a variety of songs they like.

There is also a suggestion box where all students can request certain songs.

Then all the music is screened to make sure it’s appropriate for children to hear and has a positive message behind it.” Mr. Dumont, Principal said.

“Our goal is to bring more

happiness and pump up the kids to be more positive for school.”

“My role is making sure the DJs do what they are supposed to do. But this isn’t hard because the team is easy to work with. I find the songs; download them for the crew and I DJ too.

I enjoy this job because I like to be part of something that makes people happy.” Brendan, Radio Manager said.

“I really like being a DJ because I get to play a lot of different types of music.

I’m learning how to play different songs over the internet in the machine they use and it’s easy to operate but it can be hard to find music that everyone likes. Yes, I would like

to be a DJ when I grow up.” Keaton, DJ said.

“I like being a DJ because I have been around music most of my life, my Dad was in a band and I play the guitar.” Shayne, DJ said.

“I like this job because I really like music. My favorite type is country

and old rock. It’s fun to select the music that the other students will like and I enjoy being with my friends.” Colby, DJ commented.

“I’m in grade three and my responsibility is turning on the music, it’s fun because I like music a lot.”

Keely, DJ said.

VCHS Band Update VCHS Submitted It has been another busy year for the Bands at VCHS, and there are still many events to come before the end of the school year.

Our first big event of the year was our annual Christmas Concert which was held on December 17 at the school. There were Band performances from our 8/9 Band, our new Junior Jazz Band, our Senior High Band, and our always amazing VCHS Jazz Band.

There were also some wonderful vocal performances, including a vocal solo by Claudia Lillies.

There was also a vocal quartet featuring Claudia and the talented Baldwin

Highlights of the evening included the 8/9 Band performing “Concerto Extremely Grosso”, the first performance of our new Junior Jazz Band, the Senior High Band performing musical highlights from “Frozen”, and our Jazz Band performing “Happy” from Despicable Me 2.

The evening culminated with our Symphonic Band (a mass-band combining our 8/9 Band with our Senior High Band) performing some Christmas favourites like “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, and what has become our annual Christmas Concert

finale, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. It was a great evening for all.

The New Year brings many new events for our Band students. Three members of our Senior High Band (Christina Nawrot, Barbara Rybchuk, April Siggelkow) took part in the annual University of Alberta Honour Band weekend, which took place on campus in early February. The students took part in two days of

intensive rehearsals with two distinguished conductors.

The weekend concluded with a gala concert at the Winspear Center in Edmonton. A highlight of the concert was all 190 Band students on the stage performing a song with the Davis Concert Organ.

Our students learned a lot, had some fun, met fellow Band students from all over Alberta, and got a rare CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The public is welcome to come listen to the Honour Band and the New Edmonton Wind Sinfonia perform.

Three of our bands are busy rehearsing for the upcoming Wendy Brook Festival, with the Band portion of the festival taking place on March 19 at the VCHS main gym. The

public is welcome to listen.

Several of our Senior High Band students are also heading out to the Banff Music Retreat on April 8-10, and will join the grade 9 students from Westminster Junior High in Edmonton for three days of group rehearsals, clinics on their instruments, and lots of fun times!

Our Spring Concert will be held on Wednesday, May 13 at 7PM at the VCHS Fine Arts room.

All bands will once again be performing, and the public is welcome to come support the Band program at VCHS.

Pretty Country Boutique offers charming selection Michael Simpson Editor Karen McQuarrie was born in the Phillipines in a city of millions. From there she immigrated to Canada, met her husband Will, and lived in Calgary in a city of over a million.

Now, the pair and their children live in Minburn, which is the near opposite of a million people. “My husband likes it because I’m an hour and a half from any shopping malls,” Karen laughed. “Seriously, we’ve come to love living out in the country.

Owning a store in Vegreville, I really like it; this small-town feel.”

Karen’s business offers a downtown boutique approach to children’s shopping, with a range of products for little ones aged baby to toddler, all of which are designed to make life a little easier for parents, if not more charming. Pretty Country Boutique opened doors in early December just in time to catch the Christmas shopping rush.

Karen said she’d been selling her hand-made tutus at local farmers markets when she decided to approach the local Economic Development officer, who suggested her current location downtown.

The store is filled with headbands, tutus, baby neckties, miniature blankets, wreaths (the kidfriendly variety), toys, clothes, baby toms for toddlers for the fashion conscious moms, and, of

course treats for mothers such as handbags and jewelry. Karen said she rotates her stock every few months to stay fresh and will soon be adding a Teddy Mountain feature, which is similar to the popular Build-a-Bear store where kids can pick out a new favourite teddy and stuff it themselves.

Located at 5114-50 Street, Pretty Country Boutique is in the heart of downtown Vegreville.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I love music, but I certainly don't have a musician's ear. When I hum a tune at a red light, the cars next to me roll up their windows! My wife, on the other hand, grew up playing the piano and singing, but didn't play much while raising our three children. The other day we saw a piano in the lobby of a restaurant where we were waiting. It took a little nudging, but I encouraged her to play a tune.

She sounded magnificent and those waiting even applauded.

Since her birthday is coming and our kids are all grown, I thought I'd surprise her with a piano of her own. I often see "free" pianos listed in our newspaper that say they just need a tuning. I'm all for keeping something out of the landfill, but without knowing much about the instrument, how do I know if they are still good? Can I just pick one and get it tuned or is there more to it than meets the eye?

• • •

Cash: You're in luck. Being

able to carry a tune is not a requirement for buying a piano, although don't be surprised if no

one asks you to sing along!

Carry: Despite a piano's simple appearance, they are very complex instruments. Their internal structure of strings, hammers and sounding boards give them a beautiful sound when they are in tune, but parts can wear out, stretch or warp if not properly maintained.

Cash: It is possible to find an older piano for a reasonable price or even free. The trick is to determine which one is worth having tuned or repaired. And since moving any piano can be quite the task, you want to make sure you only do it once!

Carry: Before you invest too much time and energy hunting for the birthday piano, it may be

worth surprising your wife with the idea. Considering she is the one who will be playing, she may have a preference as to which style or type she'd like to play and add to your home.

Cash: There are hundreds of manufacturers, each with a different "feel" and sound so the selection can be quite vast. Her background with playing the instrument can prove very helpful to finding one in good condition.

Carry: Since your wife was adventurous enough to play in a restaurant lobby, your gift idea is sure to be well received. And who knows, maybe one day she'll return the favor and surprise you with singing lessons!

Piano brands like Steinway or Baldwin are two of the original makers of pianos and have been around for a long time. However today, there are over 50 major brand-names of pianos, and in the last 100 years there have been over 5000 different manufacturers.

Since about 75% of all piano buyers only purchase one piano in their lifetime, choosing the right one can take some time. There are 13 different size categories of pianos, with names like upright, baby grand or spinet, and each have their own style and sound quality.

Stay Composed There have been many famous piano players throughout history, but in the 1950's one stood out as a very flamboyant entertainer.

Wladziu Valentino Liberace, commonly known as "Liberace", won the hearts of millions. Armed with outrageous outfits, a signature Candelabra and an amazing ability to play the piano, he became the highest paid entertainer in the world from the 1950's through the 1970's. After a lifetime of entertaining, Liberace passed away in 1987 at the age of 67.

Reader Humor Practice Makes Perfect Years ago, I worked my way through law school by teaching piano lessons. When I passed the bar, I put that job behind me, or so I thought.

Many years later while pleading a client's case to the court, the judge looked at me and asked if I used to teach piano. It turned out that I taught his son during my time in law school.

After hearing my case, he then set judgment on my client.

"Despite having no priors, I'm sentencing your client to two years probation," he said.

He must have noticed my disappointment because he continued, "And for the record, that's a far lesser punishment than having to listen to my son practice piano after your lessons!"

NEW TO CANADA?

PART YEAR RESIDENTS NEED TO FILE TAXES TOO People entering Canada can be classified as: non-residents, deemed residents or part-year residents. Although the tax treatment and deductions differ for each classification, part-year residents are the most common type.

Here are some important tax tips that will help part-year residents: In Canada, residents are taxed based on their world income. – Part-year residents must report all income from anywhere in the world after their arrival in Canada.

New Canadians are entitled to the GST credit after their arrival. – If they qualify, the amount received is based on their world income for the preceding year.

If the new resident has investment income abroad, they may be required to notify the payers of their Canadian residency status. Certain tax treaties provide for a reduced rate of withholding in the originating country.

Moving expenses to Canada are not deductible with one exception. – If the immigrant is a student studying at a post secondary level, moving expenses may be deducted against the taxable portion of any scholarships, bursaries fellowships, prizes or research grants he or she received.

Personal amounts and dependant claims may have to be pro-rated – depending on the period of residence in Canada.

Immigrants with children may qualify to begin receiving Child Tax Benefits shortly after they arrive if they meet certain conditions. Form RC66 (Canada Child Benefits Application) should be completed shortly after arrival.

New Canadians who own capital property such as buildings, art, gold and stocks should determine their Fair Market Value (FMV) on the day they established residence. – This constitutes the deemed cost for calculating any future capital gains and will ensure that when the property is sold they will only be taxed on the difference between the sale price and the value when they arrived in Canada. However, this does not apply to taxable Canadian property owned at the time of entry.

A tax professional at H&R Block can talk about other credits and deductions that may affect you.

We reminisced about the good old days, And ate as a family for one last time.

Your gift of faith you instilled in us to share, Your legacy of family is sublime.

It has been ten years, Since you were laid to rest.

With memories and sadness we shed many tears.

In our hearts Dad you were the best.

Love Marianne and family

CHMILAR, Olga March 3, 2010 Don’t remember me with sadness, Don’t remember me with tears, Remember all the laughter, We’ve had throughout the years.

Then when the summer sunshine, Awakes the flowers in bloom, I’ll walk that light from Heaven.

Around the corners of every room.

Do the things we did before, The same in every way, Just whisper a little prayer to me, At the dawn of every day.

Just think of me as present, Don’t think of me as past, For a wife’s, mother’s and baba’s love is a blessing.

In death it still can last.

Forget your troubles and your worries, They are mine forever more, I’ll watch and care and love you, From Heaven’s open door.

Five years has now passed and we still miss you so much.

Your loving husband Joe, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Heather Kokotyn Dean Kokotyn, now President of the Minor Baseball League in Vegreville, took over the position this past spring from Dwayne Gawryliuk who had kept it going for more than a decade. I’ll probably never be able to fill Dwayne’s shoes or ‘cleats’ in this case, but I will definitely try my hardest to keep things running smoothly,” Dean said.

Dean’s enjoyed playing baseball growing up and in his adult years, and has coached for the past three years. Baseball is a passion of his.

“We had an exceptional turnout this past season with 35+ kids in Tball,

20+ kids in the Rookies Division, 15 kids in the Mosquito Division, 10 kids in the Pee Wee Division and 12+ kids in the Bantam Division,” Dean said. “We’re so grateful to all of the members of the board, especially to Dwayne Gawryliuk, our outgoing president, and Ken Podoborozny, our outgoing vice president, coaches, and parents for all the help this past year making it a fun and successful year, and look forward to another wonderful season.

We hope to see you all out there again this year for the love of the game!”

13th annual VWF Gun Show a hit Rosanne Fortier The 13th annual Vegreville Wildlife Federation Gun, Accessory and Home Biz Show took aim at the perfect outing for all ages over the weekend of Feb 21-22.

Approximately 1,000 outdoor and hunting enthusiasts of all ages took advantage of the opportunity to shop through 45 vendors from across Western Canada, via the 116 display tables at Vegreville Social Center.

Vendors commented that they enjoy selling at this

show because it’s a great chance to socialize with other vendors and customers who have similar interests.

Peter Varga is the President of Vegreville Wildlife Federation (VWF), Daryl Sapp and Al Rusnak are the Show Coordinators but this year due to circumstances, many of the executive and club members really stepped up to help out.

This show is VWF major fundraiser and a way to showcase all this organization does. “VWF has an

archery club, shooting range, a bluebird trail and we send youth to Narrow Lake Camp. We are trying to expand our programs and give educational opportunities to all the members, the youth and general public.”

Varga said.

This gun show had rifles, firearms, ammunition, war collectibles from 1920’s, 1930’s, hunting gear, home garlic sausage for the men and even jewelry for the ladies; everything a person could imagine.

“Bill sold an old 22 Caliber gun within the first few minutes of the show. He made the gun stand himself and he tries to make his items reasonably prices, neat and attractive for the customers. I think that is his key to selling well.”

Warrant Landblom from

Forestburg explained on behalf of Bill and Joanne Green.

“A laser bore-sight is meant to be put in the bore of the rifle and then a red dot will appear on the wall and you

can sight it in with the scope. It helps to give you a quick sight in before you take it to the range to test if you’re shooting the right way. Bill mostly likes big scopes because he claims
