Cooking with gas… gastronomy that is

The students taking part in the activities photographed were members of Kara Bienert’s grade 5 class. Bienert said at present her kids were beginning to study chemistry in science class, and this activity was a perfect introduction to the topic, in a very “hands-on, minds-on” fashion.

AL Horton’s grade 5 students got a chance on May 5 to learn about molecular gastronomy, the discipline of food science that focuses on physical and chemical transformations that occur in food while cooking.

Chefs Serge and Myles ventured out from the Shaw Conference Center to put on the demonstrations for students, who participated in the making of marvelous edible creations using unconventional methods. A hallmark of molecular gastronomy is the use of modern cooking tools in the preparation of the food, as well as principles of chemistry and physics.

Women’s Conference connects ladies with life and learning Rosanne Fortier Vegreville’s 2014 Women’s Conference was held by VegMin Learning Society at Vegreville’s Social Centre on April 26. This event evolved into an afternoon which boasted with delights.

Women who seized the opportunity to attend won’t shy to admit it was an event where they could unwind, socialize, network and acquire valuable knowledge, hobbies and skills. “I especially approve of VegMin because they specialize in literacy and learning,” several ladies commented.

The afternoon commenced with classical piano music and then the conference presented an elegant touch with a tradeshow and class demonstrations with DonnaAcrylic Painting, LorraineWater Colours, Caroline and the crew from the Knitting Circle, Language instruction in ASL, Spanish and Ukrainian and Maxine-Cake Decorating Basics. Catherine Dowhaniuk’s Therapy and Massage service was available also.

Going forward, ladies chose which Time with an Expert’s session they wished

to participate in. Whenever Holly rang the bell, they moved on to a different one.

Craving Change by Natasha Hilche from Alberta Health Services gave a brief outline of this program which is designed to assist people in developing a healthier relationship with food. It helps you connect your emotions and other factors to explain why you eat the way you do and develop steps to change problematic eating habits.

The How-to Guide states that saying, ‘no’ to temptation takes more than willpower; it’s about learning Myrna Tatarin from Cascade Design explains how to design your home on a budget at the 2014 Vegreville Women’s Conference on April 26. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)

and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving. It offers many ways to change.

“We will talk about why it’s hard to change our eating patterns, what needs changing, what cognitive things we can do to change and how we can keep the change.

“There is the physiological reason that we have to eat to

survive. But we need to make healthy choices.

“It’s hard to change our eating habits because our environment makes it a challenge to do this. What things in your environment make it hard for you to change your eating habits? If we are aware of these, we can avoid them better.” Hilche asked. From

sils, television commercials, convenient food when we pay for gas or at other times, limited time.

“There are emotional reasons why we eat, an example of this would be every occasion involves food and in some situations we are considered rude if we don’t eat.

Food is associated with pleasant times and gives us emotional ties to it; we reward ourselves with food.

“Mainly, we have to find ways to nurture ourselves that doesn’t involve food.

This takes being creative but it’s worth it,” Hilche said.

Alicja Gruntowicz from Freedom 55, spoke about financial planning for retirement. “My plan at 55 is to do exactly what I want to do when I want to do it and not be obliged to be at work. I’m here to talk to you about being able to retire.

“We have to look at what we want to do when we retire.

Planning is huge. This will help you to shape what you need to do and not get overwhelmed by it. First, you have to work with a budget.

The choices we make today will determine where we will be and how we will retire.

Government will only help so much; the rest is up to us.

I stop people on the road who are 23, 33 or 43 and tell them they still have lots of time to start saving for retirement, be good to you and start doing it today.”

The biggest thing that seniors have to do is contend with debt. A credit card is not the solution. In order to succeed, you have to balance needs from wants.

“Saving for the future is extremely important. The first thing to consider when saving is to save 50% of our tax bracket. For instance if you pay two thousand in taxes, you should save one thousand a year. This is especially important for a person who is self-employed because they have to pay into their own CPP. “If we have an estimated amount that we need to survive based on the lifestyle we want, we have to determine the number of years before we want to retire and realize how much money we need to sustain ourselves for this

amount.

“To do this, we have to cut back on some short-term dreams and look down the road at our future long-term dreams.”

An essential concept that Gruntowicz mentioned was if you have a home or assets, it’s wise to put your children’s names on the title because when you pass away; it will automatically get transferred to them without probate costs.

Josephine Piche and Laurie Haaland from Parent Link had a booth titled, Playing with Your Inner Child where adults discovered how important it was to get in touch with their inner child. They grabbed a partner and while one person painted blindfolded, the other person instructed them on what to paint. From this, they learned how to give instructions better.

outfits, accessorize new looks and shop smart to finalize your wardrobe. “It’s about answering to your body type, style and budget.” Clark showed how to wear one piece four different ways.

Myrna Tatarin from Cascade Design was home to Design on a Dime.

“Whenever you are decorating, make sure to put who you are into your home.

That’s what makes it your home.” Tatarin said. This doesn’t have to cost a lot of

money. She mentioned about creating balance where you mix bigger and smaller pieces throughout the room, keep in mind scale of items beside each other and use grouping of smaller items to balance larger ones. Use things you already have and invite nature into your home.

Necessities such as books, candles and light fixtures make excellent decorations also.

There was a brief outline on Personal Safety-Titanium

Defense where it was stated that the best defense is being assertive, not aggressive.

When you are walking, walk with confidence, be aware of your surroundings and don’t use a cell phone. You shouldn’t have a scarf or necklace because an attacker could grab you with these items.

The conference also offered a silent auction, Chinese auction, 50-50 draw, door prizes and a collection box for Vegreville’s Food Bank.

Smile of the

WEEK

Safeguarding your home against extreme weather Submitted Since the first snow flake fell many months ago, Canadians have been waiting for warm weather to arrive.

Now, with spring breaking through the winter malaise, it appears that better days are at last ahead. However, as we learned in Western Canada last year, the weather can wreak unexpected havoc. But there’s no need to let that spoil your spring joy.

To make sure you’re fully prepared and protected, here are a few things to consider: Is your home protected against extreme weather?

You can certainly take measures to limit the financial impact of harsh conditions. That starts with getting the correct insurance. While Canadians do a great job of purchasing some form of homeowners’ insurance, not all of us grasp its implications. For instance, a recent Western Financial Group study showed that one-in-five respondents don’t know whether or not they are protected against weather damage or natural disasters. Not all homeowner policies are the same; and so understanding whether your coverage includes sewer back-up, or guaranteed replacement cost can save major headaches and unforeseen costs down the road.

“It’s a problem that can easily be addressed by sitting down and talking with your broker,” says Gail Smook, Branch Manager at Western Financial Group in Vegreville. “That way, you can mitigate any potential risk long before an accident or emergency strikes.”

Despite a higher proportion of

Canadians believing that is very important for home owner to have insurance covering their house and content for damage caused by weather or natural disasters, one in five (19 per cent) Canadians who have home insurance say they don’t know if they are covered.

Are you prepared for any eventuality?

In the last several years, severe weather has caused extensive damage across the country. With that in mind, it’s important to ask yourself if you have the right plans in place to take care of yourself and your family, should the need arise. Springtime is a wonderful opportunity to clean up your house and property, and it’s also a chance to ensure that things like fire extinguishers, first-aid kids, and smoke detectors are ready. Also, make sure that you have an emergency kit, including non-perishable supplies and flashlights accessible in the house in case of power outages.

How has the winter affected your home?

Even the most foundationally solid, modern home can incur winter damage. Now that you can get back outside, take stock of how your home has fared during the winter. This will allow you to make any necessary updates, fix anything that has fallen into disrepair, and, in turn, recognize any future points of vulnerability.

Although you can’t know what the next few months will bring in terms of weather, being aware of the above will help you prepare for any situation.

Junior Gardeners encouraged to compete in contest Junior Gardeners Committee, Special to the Advertiser Here’s a few tips from the Vegreville Agricultural Society for all youngsters planning and presenting a small garden.

1) Mark your rows at the time of planting with permanent and weatherproof markers. This will help you remember what you’ve planted and where the plants should be.

2) Keep your seed packages to paste into a journal.

This doesn’t have to be elaborate… a scribbler with date of planting and choices of seed and week to week entries will be a simple record of your progress.

Mark down which vegetables and flowers you choose and why you like them.

Keeping a record of the name of the variety of vegetables (e.g. corn, Northern Sweet) will help when it comes to choosing items for

your next garden. Some children take a few photos and paste them into their journals. Some make drawings of the plants growing taller. Be sure to record your problems also.

Sometimes seedlings are patchy and uneven. You might have to re-seed or try another variety. Solving growing problems will help you be a better gardener.

3) Ask your parents for some fertilizer. Well-rotted manure or liquid fertilizer (20-20-20 diluted) will give your plants a nice boost.

4) Judges always like to see a sign indicating which

area is your garden, especially if it’s in the same area as your parent’s garden.

Judges will ask you questions about how you took care of the growing things, and will want to know that you tried very hard to look after things yourself.

5) Remember to water gently and regularly…we can’t always rely on rainfall at the right times. Learn to use a hoe and try to identify which plants are unwanted weeds.

6) The judges will phone prior to visiting your garden. If you absolutely can’t be home during time of

judging, they will visit your yard and give you a written comment sheet later. Judges will take pictures of your garden and display them in the Exhibit hall during the Fair. Prizes are presented on the grandstand before one of the evening shows.

7) Remember, this contest is to help you have fun growing food and flowers.

Enjoy your garden!

Older junior gardeners are invited to become junior judges in training for selected garden produce categories during the Ag Society’s fair bench show

competition. Put your experience to work in men-

toring our new gardeners!

Hats-off to Vegreville Manor’s whole-hearted volunteers Rosanne Fortier A poster reads “The heart that loves is always young.” It continues to say that is exactly what volunteers do when they provide entertainment, spirituality, creative ideas, and sense of belonging, enjoyment, memories, reminiscing, and exercise to the residents at Vegreville Manor. They are the guiding lights who enliven the residents’ day.

So, a hats-off to volunteers’ celebration was held at Vegreville Manor on April 30.

Christine Cartier and Cindy Bruyere from the Recreation Department organized this party.

Cindy welcomed everyone.

“We are delighted to see such a turn-out for our volunteer appreciation celebration.

Volunteers have put in 682 hours this year. I would like to say a big thank-you to all the entertainers, visitors, staff, church groups who bring prayer to our residents, our driver who is knowledgeable, kind and gentle and takes us on tours, the person who announces our bingo games and everyone who assists with recreational activities, the community groups who embraces us with their pretense, and all our residents who never say no to helping out wherever is needed. They offer excellent ideas.”

Betty Yaremko, Resident Council said a short piece on behalf of all the residents. “I would like to thank all the volunteers because they put smiles on our faces and make us forget our aches and pains and loneliness. May God bless you?”

Bob and Madeline Ashmead from Silver and Gold performed down-home country music with an old-time groove attached to the melody and lyrics which created a rhythmic engine that zoomed through the lodge. After each song, the audience issued an appreciative applause.

On the dance side, volunteers and residents grabbed the chance to get up and experience the entertainment fully.

Courage Canada Trail Ride Michael Simpson Editor The 10th annual Courage Canada to Support Brain Injury Awareness Trail Ride owes its roots back to 2004, when Curtis Anderson took his first ride to raise awareness about brain injuries, two years after he collided head-on with a bull during the Ponoka Stampede.

“I wanted to raise awareness of brain injuries, but also wanted people to realize how serious a brain injury can be,” Anderson said. “There are steps that you must go through to regain your independence.”

Anderson himself had to learn to walk again, to speak and write, taking his ability to eat from ice chips to water, to pureed food and ice cream to the point where now he can cut his own steak.

Anderson has since learned how to swim again, starting off with a life jacket and someone watching over him to the point where he can now swim without help.

Anderson is a living, breathing, functioning example that with determination and hard work, recovery is possible.

“I learned how to transfer from a wheelchair to a vehicle, and in the fall of 2010 I regained my driver’s license,” Anderson said. “It was eight years without one, so it was another step to being independent.”

He began the Courage Canada Trail Ride to bring other survivors an opportunity to get out of their routine for a day, to forget everything and have a good time. Anderson’s story has been an inspiration to others. He has heard that in

sharing his story with others, they’ve become motivated to continue their therapy and make progress in their lives.

Anderson’s riding experience isn’t just a feel-good day on the trail however. It also supports Focus in Vermilion and the Lloydminster and Area Brain Injury Society, as well as VALID in Vegreville, as well as the Halvar Johnson Center for Brain Injury in Ponoka. Over the past nine years, the Courage Canada Trail Ride has raised $100,000 to help brain injury survivors and their families, and the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine Team.

The ride takes place one mile north of Minburn on Range Road 102 and a mile and a half west on Township 504 on May 31 on

Anderson’s own land. In addition to being a strong fundraiser, it’s a chance for survivors of brain injuries to meet others and enjoy the therapeutic experience of being on a horse. The tenmile ride features wagons available for those that don’t have a horse to ride, and has a supper at the Innisfree Rec center MC’d by Jackie Rae Greening from 790 CFCW. A performance by recording artist Eli Barsi will add an element of entertainment to the evening.

Fifty per cent of recovery is determination, Anderson said. The other fifty is having someone there to support you. It will be 12 years on June 26 since Anderson was injured. He said there’s been someone there every day no matter the highs of lows. “Be there to help others, one day they’ll help you,” Anderson said.

Vegreville Visual Artists Over the last few months, a grassroots effort has resulted in the formation of a group known as the VEGREVILLE VISUAL ARTISTS (VVA).

The group is made up of local area painters, potters, fabric artists, jewelry makers, fused glass artists, photographers and others.

VVA discussed the need to work together to promote and support the

visual arts in Vegreville.

Our town does not have an official art gallery at this time, but that does not mean we do not have art worthy of display.

Throughout our town’s history, there have been many notable artists.

However, their works have not always been available for public enjoyment.

Several VVA members make a living selling and

showcasing their work throughout our province.

Others create for their own pleasure. Much of the artwork you have seen at the fair, in homes of friends, offices, businesses , as well as in Sharron’s Framing Store, are the creations of these local artists. In that light, one very important fact emerges. There is a great deal of exceptional talent in

Throughout the coming weeks, this space will be dedicated to introducing the individual members of the Vegreville Visual Artists, along with a picture of their specialty. The VVA column will present a biography of the artist and pictures of their work.

The Vegreville Centennial Library has gifted a space for the VVA Gallery, where the featured artist’s

work will be displayed.

After reading this column, it is the hope that all Vegreville residents, young and old, will see and appreciate the talent we have locally and will come out to support the markets, shows, sales and events that our artists will be participating in.

Rebecca Giebelhaus participates in Youth Forum in Ottawa Submitted Rebecca Giebelhaus, a grade 12 student at Vegreville Composite High School, recently travelled to Ottawa to attend Forum for Young Canadians. This is a week-long program that has been educating students about the federal government since 1975. Students can attend one of three Forum sessions each year by applying through the Forum website.

Rebecca learned about Parliament and the role of an MP through a question and answer session with three Members of Parliament, representing three of the larger political parties. This session created an understanding of the unity of our politicians.

Although each politician featured represented different demographics, they all knew each other amicably and worked together well to answer questions and explain what it means to be a Member of Parliament.

Rebecca had the opportunity to meet with our MP, Mr. Leon Benoit, at the MP dinner. One of the highlights of Rebecca’s trip was sitting in the House of Commons in both Stephen Harper’s and Justin Trudeau’s seats. Rebecca visited Rideau Hall, one of the Governor General’s official residences.

Rebecca was impressed by her visit to the Senate. The visit began by sharing breakfast with some Senators and Senate staff. Rebecca met Senators from across the country, notably Senator Douglas Black, one of six Senators representing Alberta. Highlights included learning about the job of a clerk and seeing the Senate’s Mace in person.

Rebecca learned about the Senate’s role in debating bills and in discussing sensitive topics that Parliament is

not able to broach.

Rebecca had a busy and exciting week while she enjoyed the city of Ottawa, met people from across the country, and had the opportunity to speak in French.

This trip was made possible through the generosity of the Vegreville Legion, Vegreville Royal Purple, and the Vegreville Lions Club.

In Loving Memory of ELKOW, Dmytro P. June 5, 1978 Gone are the days we used to share, but in our hearts you’re always there. Never more than a thought away, loved and remembered every day. Treasured memories never die, as years roll on and days pass by. Deep in our hearts a picture is kept, of one we love and will never forget.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by your Children, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren and Great, Great Grandchildren.

WESLOSKY, Ed June 5, 1926- May 11, 2012 Remember him with a smile today, He was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories, of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way he spoke, and all the things he said.

His strength, his stance, the way he walked. Remember these instead.

The good advice he would give us, his eyes that shone with laughter.

So much of him will never die, but live on ever after. As we loved you, so we miss you. In our memory you are near. Loved, remembered, longed for always, bringing many a silent tear.

Love and missing you everyday Gail, Lambert, Warren, Ryan, Dean, Lesa, Jordan & Danielle.

LAKOMSKI, Annie October 27, 1919- May 7, 2005 Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love’s remembrance outlasts all; And though the years be many or few, They are filled with remembrance of you Vichnaya Pamyat Miss you Mom Love, Nancy

“I have you in my heart” Melva SARAFINCHAN, Annie Aug 9, 1923- May 16, 1990 If I had all the world to give, I’d give it, yes, and more, To hear her voice and see her smile and greet her at my door But all I can do dear mother, Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love to the best mother God ever made.

I like to think, when life is done, Wherever Heaven may be, That she’ll be standing at the door Up there to welcome me.

Forever remembered by your children, grandchildren & great grandchildren.

NEVE, Elizabeth Lillian ‘Libby’ Feb 9, 1924- May 16, 2011 Learn to make the most of life, Lose no happy day Time will never bring again Chances thrown away Leave no tender word unsaid Love while love will last For the mill will never grind, With the waters that have passed.

United Church takes down tower Vegreville’s United Church’s tower with the cross attached to it was torn down on May 1.

“Our church is 45 years old and the tower wasn’t safe in the condition it was in,” Joyce Ziegler explained. “They checked to make sure the cross didn’t come from the old church. It would have cost five thousand to replace it and we only spent one thousand to take it down.”

Local author reads at Innisfree Library Holly Cependa Submitted Local author, Shannon Raelynn, who wrote the book Seascape, visited the library on April 4th to tell us about her experience writing and self - publishing her first book. She read an excerpt from the book and also told us about what she is working on now.

The attendees enjoyed hearing Shannon speak about her writing and life in general. Her upcoming novels sound interesting and we are looking forward to her next novel!

Leon Benoit, Member of Parliament for Vegreville – Wainwright was at the library on April 15 to present both the Village of Innisfree Library Board and the Village of Innisfree

with funding from the Enabling Accessibility Fund Grant. These funds will be used to install ramps, widen doorways and install automated door openers in both buildings to provide easier access to anyone with limited mobility.

In his press release, Mr. Benoit said “The government of Canada is creating oppor t unities for Canadians with disabilities by supporting the Village of Innisfree’s projects.

Thanks to organizations like yours who care about accessibility, we are eliminating barriers and we’re helping bring workers, employers and communities together.”

Innisfree are very pleased to have these improvements to two our major facilities. Like many communities of our size, a substantial proportion of our population is older and more likely to be dealing with impaired mobility.

Thanks to this opportunity, all of our residents will have access to these buildings.”

All business risk-takers deserve admiration Laura Jones CFIB Are all small business owners entrepreneurs? It’s a more contentious question than you might think. Some use the terms small business and entrepreneur interchangeably — I am in this camp. Others, including management guru Peter Drucker, argue that “entrepreneur” is a word reserved only for businesses that innovate. BlackBerry’s founders are entrepreneurs while the couple that runs the local corner store is not.

Why does this little definitional spat even matter?

Language is important and the word entrepreneur carries a lot of respect in our society.

Economists William Baumol, Robert Litan and Carl Schramm make a useful distinction between two types of businesses in their book Good Capitalism, Bad Capitalism, and the Economics of Growth and Prosperity. They refer to “innovative” businesses as those that develop a new product or service (BlackBerry) or new process to deliver existing

goods and services at lower cost, and “replicative” businesses as those who produce or sell existing goods and services (the corner store). Like many economists, they focus on the innovative businesses and define them as entrepreneurs.

By their own admission, they give short shrift to the importance of the “replicative” business.

Clearly there are differences between different businesses, but they have much entrepreneurial DNA that is shared.

Small business owners all take financial and reputational risks that most of us are unprepared to take. They create employment and improve society’s well-being. They turn raw materials and people’s time into products and services that customers value enough that sales will cover the cost of the materials, meet payroll, and cover other costs like taxes.

The effort and creativity to do so is admirable and shared by replicative and innovative businesses alike.

And most businesses are innovative to some degree as

owners are constantly pushing for how to be better. Defining what innovative looks like is its own definitional conundrum.

Since “innovative” entrepreneurs rightly get a lot of attention, let’s focus for a moment on the enormous contribution of the “replicative” entrepreneur who also deserves to be celebrated.

One of the great contributions of the replicative entrepreneur is stability. Bakeries, greengrocers, machine shops, and hair salons may not on the cutting edge of innovation, but they do employ a substantial portion of the labour force.

They act as a terrific shock absorber in recessions as many have loyal customers and roots in the community. They are also more reluctant to shed jobs than many of their more innovative counterparts, something that many employees are very grateful for with a recession in recent memory.

People who take the risk of running their own business deserve the admiration that is conferred by the entrepreneur label regardless of where they

are on the spectrum of innovation. Of course, there is a difference between the basement business that goes on to invent a mobile device to send email (Blackberry) and the bakery with mom’s secret recipe for

cinnamon buns. But people and the economies in which they participate need both innovation and stability to thrive. Respecting the contributions of both makes sense.
