Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Traffic was slow moving as a gigantic electrical generator passed by Lamont, Chipman and Tofield area this past weekend.

The 103 metre-long and 5.73 metre-high load left the Scotford refinery and petrochemical area near Fort Saskatchewan Friday travelling east on Highway 15 past Lamont and turning south on Secondary Highway 834 near Chipman and towards Tofield and back west on Highway 14.

The load was almost the length of a football field and as tall as a traffic light pole.

It weighs 600 tonnes.

It was estimated that the journey would take five days in total with the final destination near Edson, to be delivered to Cascade Power.

Despite sanctions imposed on Russia after the illegal and unrecognized being chronically underfunded, our forces are able to hold their own annexation of Crimea in 2014, this had done nothing to slow the and have played a significant role in preparing the Ukrainian Military over the past 8-10 years.

According to the UN Refugee Agency, over 3.4 million refugees have fled Ukraine since February 24, 2022. They also state that there are 2.6 million registered Afghan refugees. If nothing changes, millions more Ukrainians will need flee their home.

As of Sunday, it has been reported by CNN that people in Mariupol who have been denied aid and living without water, food or heat have been forcibly migrated to an unknown location in Russia. Estonia PM Kaja Kallas compared the deportations in Mariupol to what Russia did in the 1940s when Estonians were put in “cattle cars” and sent to Siberia. In other cities, officials have been kidnapped with some being replaced by Russians. Others have been told if they don’t surrender, they will face a military tribunal.

On March 16, the Drama Theater in Mariupol was bombed by Russia. As the city remains continuously attacked, the building served as a shelter for hundreds of people, with most being women and children. The word “children” was painted on the ground on both sides of the theater, as can be seen from satellite images.

To fully understand what is happening on the ground, I will give you a glimpse of life in Sumy. A letter from a resident there included the following. Sumy: March 17. “I used to think that stories about the war were something far away, I never thought that this would happen in my country, in my city. My city was surrounded, the Russians felt at home here. They broke into people’s houses, stole food, killed civilians. They’re walking around here drunk! They kill people while intoxicated. We were lucky that this trouble did not come to our house. But, you know, it’s not just in my city. More civilians are dying. They realized that they would not conquer Ukraine, therefore, they decided to destroy everything here, they decided to arrange a

Province Pauses Collection of Fuel Tax and Introduces Electricity Rebate Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk Submitted Alberta’s economic recovery continues to move forward. That means more good jobs for Albertans.

The latest numbers from Statistics Canada are in, and February marked the fourth straight month of job gains for our province. The February increase of 8,200 jobs saw our unemployment rate fall to 6.8 percent, the lowest rate we’ve seen since September 2019.

As our economy in the Industrial Heartland continues to boom, I have heard from many employers in the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville constituency who are concerned about their ability to fill positions. This is a very valid concern and something our United Conservative gov-

ernment is working hard to get ahead of.

Earlier in our term, we passed Bill 49, the Labour Mobility Act, which will address impending labour shortages, particularly in rural Alberta, by streamlining a consistent and transparent approach for recognizing the skills, education, and credentials of out-of-province workers.

We also recently announced the launch of the Rural Renewal Stream and the Rural Entrepreneur Stream. These streams will encourage skilled and talented professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world to settle in rural communities.

With many of our rural communities struggling to find qualified professionals to meet their current and future workforce needs, these new initiatives will help

attract and retain newcomers who want to contribute to our rural communities.

Every job added means another Albertan receiving a regular pay cheque. Every drop in unemployment means more Albertans returning to the workforce. Our fast-improving job market is good news for job-creators across our province who are looking to fill positions.

Also announced this week, Alberta’s government will be providing $150 in electricity rebates to nearly two million homes, farms, and businesses to help retroactively cover the high costs they faced this winter. Exact rebate criteria will be determined soon, but is expected to include most households, farms, and small businesses. Alberta’s government will also be stopping the collection of the provincial fuel tax of 13.6 cents per litre starting April 1. This will apply to all gasoline and

diesel, including marked farm fuel.

Our government will review the collection of the fuel tax on a quarterly basis and, if required, consider reinstating collection in stages, based on the average price of West Texas Intermediate over a number of weeks. We will not start to reinstate collection before July 1.

As always, my heart is with the people of Ukraine, as they fight for their freedom and sovereignty. Slava Ukraini!

Dan's Quote of The Week

Conviction for Illegal Disclosure of Health Information Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) issued a news release on March 18 regarding the illegal disclosure of health information.

According to OIPC, “A former Covenant Health employee pleaded guilty on Monday, March 14 to knowingly disclosing health information in contravention of the Health Information Act (HIA).

Samantha Barker was fined $1,500 for the offence under HIA. She also admitted

to accessing health information of several people without a valid employment purpose. The inappropriate accesses and disclosure of health information occurred in Vegreville.

OIPC opened an offence investigation into Ms. Barker’s actions in February 2020. Charges were laid in July 2021.”

OIPC Communications Manager Scott Sibbald pointed out that, “There is a requirement under Alberta’s HIA for health professionals and healthcare organizations to report privacy breaches to

the OIPC, and to notify individuals whose health information has been breached.

The offence investigation was opened from Covenant Health’s breach report.

We conduct the offence investigation. We refer findings to the Specialized Prosecutions Branch at Alberta Justice to help decide laying charges. The fine is determined by a judge in Provincial Court.”

It is an offence under HIA to knowingly disclose health information in contravention of the Act (section 107(2)(a).

Try not.

Do, or do not.

There is no try.”

With the World Facing an Energy Crisis, Why Won’t Canada Help?

Gwyn Morgan Troy Media Contributor

Oil prices have risen to a staggering $US120 per barrel in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But that’s not a record in real-dollar terms.

Inflation-adjusted oil prices reached the same level in 2013, driving a supply response that temporarily lowered prices. World oil demand steadily increased, reaching a record 100 million barrels per day before the COVID-19 collapse.

Demand has since come roaring back and, despite all the “net-zero” rhetoric, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that world oil demand will continue to grow.

The big question is: who will supply all that oil?

Middle Eastern countries, led by Saudi Arabia, will be major contributors and, despite U.S. and United Kingdom bravado in banning Russian imports, current and forecast world oil demand can’t be met without Russian oil.

The disparate list of countries controlling world oil supply may soon include Iran if, as news reports suggest, U.S. President Joe Biden is naïve enough to remove oil export sanctions in return for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s pledge to suspend uranium enrichment.

That would leave world oil supply security in the hands of one country that subjugates women, another led by a murderous psychopath and a third developing a nuclear bomb with the avowed objective of annihilating Israel.

Meanwhile, with the world’s third-largest oil reserves, Canada is sacrificing hundreds of billions of dollars per year in revenues and new capital investment and tens of thousands of well-paying jobs on the net-zero altar by pursuing policies that make building new oil export pipelines virtually impossible.

Even a proposed transnational pipeline that would have delivered Canadian oil to eastern refineries was deliberately stymied by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

As a result, tankers carry Saudi Arabian and African oil, which

emits far more greenhouse gases than domestic oil, up the ecologically fragile Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Speaking in London in July 2006 before departing for a Vladimir Putin-hosted G8 Summit in Saint Petersburg, then-prime minister Stephen Harper called Canada “a new energy superpower.” Oil and gas industry capital investment rose sharply, doubling from $30 billion to $60 billion before the Conservative government’s defeat in 2015.

By 2019, Trudeau’s anti-oil and gas policies had seen the industry’s capital spending collapse to less than half of 2006 levels.

Many Canadians may not know that history. But if there’s one thing that does get their attention, it’s the price at the pump.

Anti-fossil-fuel ideologues worshiping at the net-zero altar may be delighted by the recent runup in gas prices.

But not real-world working Canadians. On March 4, gas prices in B.C. hit $2 per litre, taking the cost of filling up the family sedan to as much as $140. Given the sprawling nature of Canadian cities, commuting to work takes at least one fill-up per week. That can amount to more than $600 a month for a single car.

Along with gas prices, food and other necessities have also risen to record levels across the country. A recent Angus Reid survey found that 53 per cent of Canadians surveyed were already unable to keep up with the rising cost of living.

The 11-cents-per-litre federal carbon tax doesn’t seem like much compared with current total pump prices. But it’s just the beginning. The federal Liberal government plans to progressively increase the tax to 38 cents a litre by 2030. Adding the nine-cent-per-litre B.C. carbon tax means drivers in that province will pay carbon taxes of 47 cents a litre.

The theory behind carbon taxes is that higher prices will reduce consumption. But that only applies if there’s a viable alternative. For cost-stressed real-world Canadians, driving a vehicle that’s needed for business or getting to work, a carbon tax on fuel is simply impoverishing.

At a time when the world’s oil supply is being squeezed

Beaver County Provides Feedback on Rural Emergency Medical Services Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Municipalities in Alberta have been asked to provide feedback on rural emergency medical services to its provincial advocacy group.

Members of Beaver County Council passed a motion on March 17 to send a letter to Rural Municipalities of Alberta, (RMA) which has formed a special committee to provide advice to the Minister of Health on potential solutions to challenges they are currently facing.

This decision came following the March 14 Mayors and Reeves Liaison Committee meeting when Stettler County Reeve tabled the issue.

“The discussion by the Committee members brought to light the many challenges that municipalities are facing with respect to the provision of emergency medical services from contract extensions, aging ambulances, and lack of ambulance availability,” stated Beaver County Reeve Kevin Smook in the response letter that has been sent to RMA.” Smook said the information has been provided by the Beaver Ambulance Society and the Beaver Emergency Services Commission, emergency medical and fire service providers which serve Beaver County and the towns and villages in the region.

A D V E RT I S E Y O U R H O M E B U S I N E S S H E R E

“Over the past 18-24 months, there has been a sustained and significant increase of 35-40 percent for calls into the Edmonton zone, as well as the suburban/ rural areas surrounding it, such Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Lamont, Vegreville, etc. This increase appears to be the result of a significant shortage of available ambulances in the Edmonton zone, thereby forcing surrounding ambulances to respond into these areas for cross coverage.

On occasion, the ambulance crews are spending their entire daytime shifts with calls in Edmonton which leaves the Beaver region without ambulance coverage, increases costs for overtime, contributes to staff shift fatigue, and jeopardizes work-life balance.

We are aware that early in 2022, Alberta Health Services made changes to the dispatching methodology for Edmonton and has hired additional paramedics. Since then, there has been a significant decrease in cross coverage and time-on-task in the Edmonton zone for our local ambulances.

We are cautiously optimistic that this is a sustained change.

In March of 2020, the Beaver Ambulance Society ordered a new ambulance to replace one of significant age and mileage. A year has passed since the order was placed, and the Society has been advised that an

expected date of arrival cannot be provided due to challenges beyond the manufacturer’s control, (world-wide supply shortage of raw materials such as computer chips/ microprocessors and steel, shipping container backlogs, a labour crisis, supply chain demands, and many other causes).

This delay has resulted in a 70 percent over-budget expenditure for repairs and maintenance of the older units, such as replacement of transmissions, rear-ends/ axles, steering assemblies, etc.

On February 18, 2022, the Beaver Ambulance Society was notified by Alberta Health Services that its ambulance contract would be extended to March 31, 2024. This is the 5th contract extension since the agreement with AHS was signed in March 2009. By March 31, 2024, the

Society will have operated under a 15-yearold contract with negligible funding increases during that time. If the Society, and the Province, wishes to continue to provide a viable and sustainable ambulance service to our residents, the extension requests must include reasonable changes to the financial terms.

The Beaver County region is fortunate to have numerous outstanding fire department personnel who respond to calls for assistance whenever needed. However, as outlined in the attached letter from Beaver Emergency Services Commission Chair Gene Hrabec, the delay in response time by emergency medical services staff is jeopardizing patient health, mental and physical health of first responders, and exposes the Commission to liability.”

Grand Lodge of the Elks of Canada has proclaimed Friday, March 25 as National Essential Worker Appreciation Day. Therefore, the members of Vegreville Elks Lodge #143 and the members of the Vegreville Royal Purple Lodge #125 would like to thank all essential workers (including Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT's, Paramedics, Doctors, Nurses, Lab Techs, Hospital Support Staff, Nursing Aides, Long Term Care Centre Staff, Extended Care Staff, Home Care Staff, Health Unit Staff, Teachers, Teachers' Aides, School Support Staff, Truckers, Store Clerks and other Store Staff, and all others (including farmers and farm workers) considered to be essential) for their tireless dedication, care and efforts over the last few years.

For the solo and vocal duets, Toroshenko mentioned that they spoke clearly, did a great job, used lots of expressions, and created a fun atmosphere that made sense of what the poetry they performed was about.

Housing and Homelessness Growing Crisis in Communities Michelle Pinon New Advertiser Affordable housing is a crisis in Canada. While the effects are largely felt in urban cities, it’s a growing issue that also affects smaller rural communities.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities, (FCM) an organization that advocates for members across the country, have been involved in this issue for several years.

FCM stated that, “In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic required all levels of government to scale-up existing efforts to combat Canada’s housing crisis. FCM worked with the federal government to develop the Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI).

FCM believes, “Ensuring everyone has a place to live must be our collective priority. This includes action to address all forms of homelessness, ensuring appropriate homes for both young families and seniors. It also means expanding housing in both market and non-market sectors and programs to preserve and upgrade existing affordable housing stock.”

In October of 2021 a Housing and Basic Needs Task Force was established with the support of Vegreville & District FCSS. Funding for the position of coordinator and projects was pro-

vided by the federal government through the department of Employment and Social Development Canada.

Phil Rowe, Community Services Director for the Town of Vegreville, pointed out that a specific funding stream for “Rural and Remote Homelessness and the community entity that manages grant applications for this area is through the Rural Development Network, (RDN).

Coordinator Tracey Yule has been collecting local data with guidance from RDN and will be conducting the housing and service needs estimation survey in the community.

Following that, next steps required for this project will be determined.

Rowe said, “The overall aim is to work better together to address the social needs of housing and basic needs of residents in our rural community.”

Some of those needs were identified in September of 2021.

teering to serve lunch during a spring training clinic at Rocky Mountain Equipment in Vegreville.

“4-H, I believe is amazing in every aspect,” says Leader Kelly Weleschuk. 4-H Canada has been in existence for more than 100 years and has over 23,500 members and 8,500 volunteers.

“It teaches the kids work ethic because they have to get out there and feed those steers. My children feed them morning and night. You have to halter break them, and get them ready for achievement day which includes washing them, grooming them and clipping them.

On top of that, they have to do communications event, which is public speaking, and that is another great point.” Kelly says it helps members get out into the community and speak to people whether it’s asking for donations or inviting them to their annual show and sale.

Each year the club performs a community service activity. This year members volunteered their time as well as donated Consignment Auction $500 as a club to the Vegreville Christmas See Back Page for Details Bureau.

Other activities members have been involved in include: record book clinic, public speaking workshop, and communications clinic. There are many more activities to come in the near future as members will learn writing pysanky, tour dairy barn at the Vegreville Hutterite Colony, attend a grooming and showman-

“It’s great to have mock achievement day to get that experience under their belts, so when it comes to the actual achievement day it’s not so overwhelming for them.

“This year we have 13 members and four cleavers. Thirteen market steers will be for sale. There are four heifer projects, and four cleaver projects, (calves born in January of this year). With heifer projects, we hope they will return next year as a cow-calf pair.”

Kelly is excited about all of the activities that lie ahead as does her three children: Brady, 13, Karly, 10, and Kaydee, 6.

All members are already preparing for achievement day that will be held on May 30.

Canadian Pacific Railway Employees Back to Work Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Agricultural producers and grain elevator companies are breathing a collective sigh of relief after Canadian Pacific Railway, (CP) announced that it had reached a deal with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, (TCRC) and Train and Engine, (T&E) on March 22.

The work stoppage lasted only two days. In a news release CP that it will “immediately begin working with customers to resume normal train operations across Canada as soon as possible.”

CP President Chief Executive Officer Keith Creel said, “CP is pleased to have reached agreement with the TCRC Negotiating Committee to enter into binding arbitration and end this work stoppage.”

The agreement allowed the company and its employees to resume normal operations. TCRC represents approximately 3,000 locomotive engineers, conductors, and train and yard workers across Canada.

“Disruptions can be very bad, as both rail companies can see changes from lockout and strike actions, leading to possible rate increases because of the demand and capacity needs,” stated Jay Zaal, Communications Coordinator for Lamont County.

“Ottawa needs to act by making rail an essential service under the Canada Labour Code and not allow either one company or

one union to shut down the nation’s rail network which is our economy’s lifeblood,” stated Wade Sobkowich, Executive Director of the Western Grain Elevator Association, (WGEA).

“Grain elevators situated on CP lines are beholden to a monopoly service provider and do not have any competitive options in shipping grain to flour mills, grain processing facilities and feedlots both domestically and internationally. Rail service is essential to get grain off the Prairies to customers and ports across North America and globally.”

He pointed out that, “Despite this year’s 35 percent smaller than average crop due to drought, the railways have struggled to meet even half of our weekly demands for rail service the past few months.”

That has led to a backlog at port terminals. Sobkowich explained that when vessels are loaded they have to fill and move that grain within a specific time frame or face severe

Fast Facts Best Day for a Sale

Dear Classified Guys, There's one thing I hate when I hold a garage sale…early birds!

People show up at 7am ready to shop. They have a lot of nerve.

I'm not even out of bed yet and people are knocking on my door wondering where the tables are.

Any idea on how to deal with them? My wife said that chasing them out of the yard with one of the fry pans from the garage sale was unacceptable.

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze

• • • Cash: If you don't want to actually chase them, you can always turn on the lawn sprinklers. That's usually good for a laugh.

Carry: While I agree that it's no fun when people storm your driveway at dawn, early birds are still potential customers. If your goal is to sell all your items, you may want to wake up a little earlier and be prepared.

Cash: Early birds typically show up an hour or two before your sale opens. I've had them come as early as 6am. Although if they show up that early, I insist they bring me coffee!

Carry: You can try posting "No early birds" in your newspaper ad, but let's be honest. If these people are bold enough to show up at

03/20/22 ©The Classified Guys®

7am, a simple request in an ad will not deter them. Your best bet is to just be prepared.

Cash: To save yourself some time in the morning, lay out your items on tables the day before the sale. You can store everything in the garage or under tarps to keep them safe and dry. In the morning, just move the finished tables out into the yard and set up any miscellaneous items.

Carry: Early birds are just trying to get the deals before everyone else. Some are antique dealers looking for the rare find, but most are avid garage sale enthusiasts hoping for a bargain.

In either case, it's a good idea to stay firm on your price. If an early bird is interested in the item, it's likely someone else will want it during the course of the day.

Cash: If early shoppers continue to annoy you, there are still a few things you can do to turn them away. Besides posting it in your ad, place a sign at the edge of your driveway saying "No early birds."

Those that show up prematurely will hopefully heed the warning.

If not, simply tell them you're not open for business yet.

Carry: And if all else fails, you can always pull out your frying pan.

So what's the best day to hold a garage sale? Overwhelmingly, Saturdays are voted the favorite among avid shoppers. Saturday garage sales are likely to get two to three times more people than a Friday or Sunday sale. With the proper advertising, that could mean selling all your stuff in one day and taking Sunday off. Start advertising your garage sale several days in advance. Newspaper ads should appear starting Wednesday and signs should be posted with the date of the sale a few days in advance.

Caffeinated Sales Want to wake up your garage sale customers? Try putting out a fresh pot of coffee. It's a small cost that goes a long way. Many people need their morning coffee to settle into the day and relax.

And relaxed people are more likely to make a purchase. Be sure to mention "Free Coffee" in your newspaper ad. It should be enough to make your garage sale the first stop.

Reader Humor Breakfast Special When my husband and I held our yard sale, we agreed that any "early birds" would be turned away, no questions asked.

On the morning of our sale, my husband went to set up outside while I prepared inside. As I looked out the window, I noticed a guy rustling through the stuff in the driveway. I rushed to the front door to tell my husband.

But when I opened the door, he was standing there watching the man.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I thought we said no early birds."

I realized he was outsmarted when he wiped powdered sugar from his chin and said, "I know, but he brought me coffee and donuts." (Thanks to Melinda G.)

genocide of the Ukrainian people.” This person also stated that soldiers burnt down several houses on an affluent street without concern for anyone inside.

People who have studied Putin do not think diplomacy will provide any results other than providing Putin more time. It has been pointed out many times that Putin dreams of the former Soviet Union. In October of 2015 when interviewed about Isis, he famously stated ‘when a fight is inevitable, you hit first.’

It’s now time to up our game. NATO is reluctant to provoke Putin mainly because Russia is a nuclear power.

However, Putin didn’t need provocation to invade Ukraine in 2014, then move on to Syria where Russia used chemical weapons and now back to Ukraine. The Kremlin did not need to be provoked to bomb hospitals, schools and museums. While the West talks, Putin continues the carnage.

I doubt anything will make Putin pause for a fleeting moment. So, why not remove every diplomat, artist, scientist, academic, sports star, etc. who holds a Russian passport? Kick them all out of western nations. Everything he does in the public eye has nothing to do with the West.

Rather it provides him another clip to be twisted and broadcast to his population who only consumes Russian government-controlled media. The general public there is largely brainwashed much like the people of North Korea. If the names the public holds in reverence are no longer abroad, Putin will have to spin that along with why there is no more McDonalds. If he is forced to spin things that he has not planned, he may at least feel discomfort and raise more questions with the people of Russia. That would be more than the West has provided thus far.

We cannot expect Russian celebrities in the West to denounce the actions of Putin. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a blunt warning to “traitors” saying the West would try to use them as a fifth column to destroy Russia, but that Russians would be quickly able to tell the “patriots from the scum.” These people have families back home. Families that we can assume would be at risk if they spoke out. However, we do not need to enable things that Putin takes pride in. These are just levers to pull. The few levers the West has remaining.

We should also sanction and remove the citizens of any entity that supports or is found to support Russia. This includes the five countries that voted against the UN resolution to condemn the Russian aggression in Ukraine. North Korea, Eritrea, Syria, Russia and Belarus. Close ports, stop trade and cut them off from the rest of the UN membership.

We cannot continue to cower in the face of a ruthless dictator who is killing innocent people in a quest for power.

If the West did that in 1939, the world would look very different today.

Vegreville Wranglers U18 A Team Wins League Championship scoring on a shorthanded penalty shot to break the ice.

Next up was Redwater who we battled hard all year. Game 1 in Vegreville went to us 6-4. Game 2 back in Redwater the boys came out a bit slow and got down a couple goals in the second period but couldn’t battle back. Game 3 back in Vegreville the boys came out on a mission scoring in the first minute of both the first and third periods. With solid goaltending from third year stopper Dylan Batog, and an overall strong team game, the game was never in doubt, and we prevailed 4-1.

Soon, the team will be heading to Brooks to compete in Provincials. Ogrodnick went to Provincials as a player in peewee and senior hockey and as a coach with the Jr B’s. “It is very difficult to get to provincials, you must win your league in order to get to go. For some of these kids it is their first time and once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Members of the Vegreville Wranglers U18 A team finished off the season by winning the U18 Tier 3 Northern Alberta Interlock Hockey League championship on March 13.

Head Coach Trevor Ogrodnick was thrilled with the final outcome, and said they had a really good season finishing with a record of 12-3-3 for 27 points.

“We were a very well rounded team with exceptional goaltending and team commitment to defence and systems. We had a close group of kids that all

got along. They were able to gel even more on the bus trips we took to Drayton Valley, Hinton and Fort McMurray.

Another factor in the team’s success was the strong leadership group of third year players. Ogrodnick acknowledged the efforts of Captain Ethan Bast, Assistant Captains Dawson Palamarek, Colby Warawa, and Aiden Douglas Krill as well as Ryan Ogrodnick and goaltender Dylan Batog.

Ogrodnick recapped the playoffs by stating, “We had a bit of a shaky start to playoffs tying Wetaskiwin 4-4 in Vegreville. Going back to Wetaskiwin for game two, which was a nail biter, with Ethan Bast

Mike J. Lesoway September 13, 1925 - March 23, 2011 To my kind and thoughtful Dad; I watched you suffer, I heard you sigh, But all I could do was just stand by.

When you time came, I suffered too, For you never deserved what you went through.

I sat by your bedside and prayed to God above, I held your hand with tenderness and love.

No one knows the heartache I tried so hard to hide, No one knows how many times I cried.

Looking back with tenderness, along the path we’ve trod, I bless the many years we had and leave the rest to God. It’s lonely here without you, I miss you more each day, For life is not the same to me since you went away.

I always think of you with love and sad regrets I will always love you dearly, I will never forget.

Love you to the moon and back, Dad Miss you always.

Hugs and Kisses Debbie.

WASNEA, Oliver Sidney May 24, 1940 In loving memory of my dear husband who passed away March 22, 2017.

FLORENCE MARIE MURPHY (LaDouceur) In loving memory of Florence Marie Murphy (LaDouceur) Dec 1, 1934 to March 15, 2020.

Your Mother Is Always With You She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She’s the place you came from, your first home, And she’s the map you follow with every step you take.

She’s you first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on Earth can separate you.

Not time, not space…not even death.

Never Forgotten and will Always be remembered and loved by Sister: Verna LaDouceur Pezderic, Brother: Victor LaDouceur, Son: Kenneth Murphy & Family, Daughters: Jeannette (Dewey) Watt & Family, Patricia Murphy & Family

Andrew Figure Skating Carnival Presents ‘An Oldie but a Goodie’ Crazy Laws Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Andrew Figure Skating Carnival was bittersweet for three members of the club as it marked the end of many years of training and culmination of their efforts.

Kaylee Marianicz has been skating with the club for 13 years, Payton Donald for eight years and Xaraya Rajoo for six years.

“These girls have been a huge part of the club and a great influence for the younger skaters,” said President Ambyr Berlinguette.

This is the first year Berlinguette has served as President. Her eight-year-old daughter Harper has been skating with the club for three years.

“The kids have been working very hard this season, and I notice a difference in them thanks to our great coach Juline Sieben. Our skaters have attended a few elements events this year in Viking and St. Paul. Our StarSkaters have competed in a few competitions as well.”

“I think it’s so great for our small community to be able to offer

energy crisis - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 by war, the importance of unleashing Canada’s enormous oil resources has never been clearer.

During Trudeau’s recent trip to Latvia, a reporter asked whether Canada could help make up the oil supply shortage. His answer illustrated the fanatical depth of our leader’s worship at the net-zero altar: “We will be there to support, as the world moves beyond Russian oil and indeed, beyond fossil fuels, to have more renewables in our mix.”

This incredible answer comes at a time when innocent Ukrainians and their beautiful country are being ravaged by a megalomaniac who threatens the world with nuclear Armageddon.

No doubt Russian President Putin is grateful to Trudeau for helping him control world oil markets by having hamstrung Canada’s “energy superpower” potential. It was Putin’s predecessor, Vladimir Lenin, who coined the phrase “useful idiots.”

Never before have I been ashamed of being a Canadian. I pray for new political leadership that will make me and millions of other dispirited Canadians proud of our country again.

Oldie but goodie - CONTINUED from PAGE 18 this amazing program to the kids. It’s so good for their confidence and communication. It’s great to see kids put their heart and soul into something they truly love.

There is a lot of volunteer work that goes into being able to keep the club going. This year a new executive was voted in and we are so grateful to have the past executive still around to help us out. They have been amazing and helpful in every way.”

Ambyr said they are currently looking for a new coach

for the next season, and have strong hopes they will be able to find one. “I think it’s so important for our community to be able to offer activities for kids, especially being a small town.”

The kids have been working very hard this season, and I notice a difference in them thanks to our great coach Juline Sieben. Our skaters have attended a few elements events this year in Viking and St. Paul. Our StarSkaters have competed in a few competitions as well.”

Renting Out Your Home: Four Simple Steps to Get Things Ready

Planning to rent out your home? If so, here’s a brief guide to ensure you don’t forget any essential to-dos.

Renovate, repair and refresh Before putting your house up for rent, determine what renovations you should complete. Make sure the walls are freshly painted, the appliances up to date and all cracks and leaks are sealed and caulked.

You’ll also want to do a deep clean of the house.

Remove items you want to keep If you’re renting out a furnished home, remove all valuables and any belongings you don’t want your tenants to use.

Collect evidence of your home’s condition Document the home’s condition by taking pictures—you’ll use these to determine if the house is still in good shape when the renters move out.

Notify the appropriate people Keep in mind that you’ll need to notify your mortgage and insurance companies before renting out your house as well as invest in landlords’ insurance.

Though potentially lucrative, being responsible for a property you don’t inhabit yourself is no small undertaking.

In addition to the practical steps above, make sure you mentally prepare for all that’s involved with becoming a landlord.
