Businesses to express concerns over bylaw Michael Simpson Staff Writer A public hearing scheduled for May 13 at 6 pm has been moved from council chambers to the social center to accommodate a potentially large crowd as business owners prepare to unite and express concerns over aspects of proposed Land Use Bylaw 02-2013 which they feel will be detrimental to their prosperity. A common sentiment expressed by 37 businesses at a meeting hosted by the Chamber of Commerce on May 7 regarding the bylaw was “too much, too fast,” with respect to the changing of zones and imposition of
restrictions on what products may be sold at certain types of businesses. Others feared a spillover effect from decreased profitability at one business might in turn affect their own bottom line. The Chamber of Commerce called the meeting to allow businesses to speak to one another, discuss the bylaw and its impacts – be it positive or negative – to their operation. Chamber of Commerce President Kyle Bodnarchuk made it clear that in calling the meeting, the Chamber was not taking a position on the issue as to whether the bylaw was harmful or not, but rather that it was designed to facili-
tate open discussion among owners only. “There’s a lot of businesses thinking that they were alone in this, and now they’re more willing to express their views. The Chamber simply wanted to make sure there is awareness and everyone in attendance [on May 7] was pleased to feel their voices were getting heard,” Bodnarchuk said. With 45 people representing 37 businesses the Chamber meeting was switched from the boardroom to VALID. Bodnarchuk met later in the week on May 9 with town officials to present the concerns of business owners expressed at the
Chamber meeting, and said the information was well received by the town. “The Town is definitely listening, they want more of the letters that businesses have written so that they Town can make the changes it needs to in the bylaw. The Town is very happy with what we’re doing as far as gathering information to make changes for them so it’s all positive,” Bodnarchuk said. Business owners are being encouraged at this point by both the Town and the Chamber to send letters voicing their concerns to the Chamber to be forwarded to the town, or directly to the
Town office itself so that all the issues are on the table and requested changes to the bylaw can be evaluated for implementation. The public hearing on Monday, May 13 will be another opportunity for concerns to be addressed and possibly acted upon. Vegreville Councilor Greg Kurulok, who sits on the Land Use Committee that has worked extensively on
the bylaw, said the response from the business community has been great. “Certainly we’ve gotten some feedback, and we will listen to business owners on Monday’s meeting. From there the LUB will go back for review and study. Some aspects are relatively easy to address.” See Story............................ Page 6
Members of the business community have managed to band together to express concerns over proposed Land Use Bylaw 02-2013. Many have sent letters to the Town to outline concerns and proposed changes, while still others will have a chance to express themselves at a public hearing scheduled for May 13 at 6 p.m. at the Social Center.

The pleasure and the pain Adam Kozakiewicz Epic Life Challenge Lots of people have been asking me “How do you feel?” and I always say “great”. That is only half the story, however. Emotionally I truly do feel great, especially with all the support; from people walking with me to Tim Macphee taking the extra piece of chicken at the Kinsman meeting that I did not need to eat. You really jumped on that grenade for me Tim. It inspires me to succeed when people stop to ask me how I’m doing in a very genuine way. I know that they care about my success. On the other side of the coin though there is the very real physical pain I feel after a 4 km walk every Monday and Thursday. I usually take some Ibuprofen and this makes most of the symptoms go away, but every morning I barely make it out of bed to the medicine cabinet. An hour later I’m as good as new. A little bit of pain is the price I that I have to pay to get fit, however. This process is about survival; I have to take care of my weight before I get sick, before it is too late. Like everyone, I want to see my grandchildren grow up, but with the way I was heading before that such a thing might have been hard to accomplish. The second question I get asked is why I chose the Hospital board as my charity. Not everyone knows the list of things that the hospital is working to accomplish to deliver enhanced services, but it exists. Of course, virtually nothing in life is free, and in the case of the hospital this is exceptionally true. Simple things like an obstestrical exam table, a pressure relief mattress, or even
an ultrasonic equipment cleaner cost thousands of dollars. Once you get into vital emergency room equipment such as a ventila-
tor, a glideoscope for intubations, and cardiac monitors get into the tens of thousands of dollars. These are all items that the hospi-
tal has been approved to have by Alberta Health. Even though these things are sitting on a list to be provided to the hospital at some point, the truth is the doctors need them now. Moreover, some items will have to be acquired entirely at the hospital’s expense, and that is where fundraising comes in. Having the equipment needed for emergency situations or critical care scenarios not only saves lives, but also will help attract more doctors to our community. In short, the more gear, the more doctors here. If you’d like to donate money to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation by way
News Advertiser Page 3 of my Epic Life Challenge, there are pledge sheets available at the Vegreville News Advertiser, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and several businesses around town. If you would like a copy of
the pledge sheet sent to your business or home, email the Editorial Manager of the News Advertiser, Michael Simpson at michael@newsadvertiser. com

Smile of the
WEEK
T O : M AYO R C O L E M A N , T O W N C O U N C I LO R S , T O W N A D M I N I S T R AT I O N , L A N D U S E B Y L AW C O M M I T T E E R E : P R O P O S E D L A N D U S E B Y L AW N O . 0 2 -2 0 1 3 The intent of this letter is to express a number of concerns Buhler Industries has with respect to the above proposed Land Use Bylaw. Buhler Industries, with sales currently near $500 million CAD, is currently one of Canada’s largest agricultural machine producers. In 2011, with an aggressive growth plan of 20 per cent per year, Buhler Industries acquired the former Ezee-On Vegreville factory to expand into the tillage and seeding market under the well-known brand names of VERSATILE and FARM KING. Since this acquisition, Buhler Industries has formulated plans to triple production volumes at this factory in the next 2-3 years. Investments in new technology, machines and production improvements have already started and will be increasing substantially in the next several years. This summer, for example, two new paintlines will be installed at a cost of $4.5 million CAD. Given the plans Buhler currently has for the Vegreville factory, senior management is understandably concerned about the proposed draft Land Use Bylaw wherein the Town administration will change current zoning of our property from Industrial to Commercial (C3). With passage of this bylaw, our business plan will be impacted immediately as Buhler Ezee-On will effectively be designated a “legal non-con-
forming” business. Buhler Industries would then be restricted from adding new buildings, upgrading existing buildings, connecting to utilities outside our property or making any number of changes or improvements. As you know, Buhler Ezee-On has a 60-year history of supporting Vegreville’s growth and success. The factory has always been one of the top three employers in town and has continually supported many of the other businesses in town. In addition to Buhler Ezee-On’s business, our employees and their families help to create a number of other jobs in town by consuming various goods and services. Also important in this is the fact that Ezee-On (and now Buhler) employee salaries have always been above the town average. In closing, Buhler Industries believes it has valid concerns regarding the proposed Land Use Bylaw No. 022013 as drafted. It is the company’s position that property owned by Buhler Industries should remain zoned as M2. A more recent start-up company, (Canadian Modular Building Systems Ltd.) has had its property zoned M2 despite the fact that its land is on the border to the residential zone. We can assure everyone concerned that our current property base is sufficiently large enough to accommodate all our future development plans and we will not require additional land. Sincerely, Buhler Ezee-On Inc. Per, Leo Turko Operations Manager See More Letters.............................Page 6

Kurulok was referring to items such as restrictions on certain types of products that a business is allowed to sell, such as trailers over 25 feet, which had some automotive and recreational dealerships worried. “Others, such as conflicting land uses, might be a little more complicated. Obviously at this point we’re not making second and third readings on the bylaw on May 13.” “After hearing everyone’s concerns and doing some review, we will have another public forum with presenta-
tions on any potential changes that we’ve made,” Kurulok said. “I don’t anticipate that we can solve everyone’s issues, but once the document has been revised it will be available to the public.” Dates on future public hearings after the upcoming Monday meeting haven’t been set yet. Full coverage of the LUB public hearing will be available in next week’s edition of the Vegreville Observer.

My business plan and my purchase of that building was dependant on the expansion of multiple small businesses as well as the service of the community through rental space. With Direct Control in place, I am very much at the mercy of
current council and direction at the time of development. Oftentimes entrepreneurship is a very organic process of fitting sometimes different businesses with common principles in the same space.

Thorowsky and teammates earn gold in Boston Aniquea Thorowsky Submitted
Austin Thorowsky is a student that attends Grade 11 at
Vegreville Composite High School. He was born with Spina Bif ida and Hydrocephalus. He uses a wheelchair full time. Sports are harder for him, since nothing is adaptive in a smaller community. So, as his parents, we learned about sledge hockey when Austin was around 10 years old. Once Austin’s health and surgeries were finally at a
standstill we took him to Edmonton to watch a practice at the Donnan Arena near Capilano Mall. From that day forward Austin has not looked back. The only thing he knew when he went on the ice was how to use the Sledge. He never was interested in Hockey, so he
had to learn the rules of Hockey. The coaching has been awesome. He has played with The PSA Blades for 6 years and this last year moved up to the intermediate level for the PSA Dogs. On April 21, we held our league tournament and The PSA Dogs brought home The Bronze Medal. Austin also practices with The Edmonton Impact team at a senior level as well so he is able to get a lot of ice time each week. Austin’s teams are able to travel to different tournaments within Canada and recently to Boston MA USA. The PSA Blades do a lot of fundraising so our young athletes can have the opportunity to travel and have some competition. So the PSA See Story.......................... Page 17

expanding into my vision which will definitely have diversity of services offered. This is a very common practice in entrepreneurship as we see businesses tie together in unique ways. I have started to really experience the benefit of this shared space practice as we now serve Vegreville School of Ballet and Zumba classes. I really
feel that we need to reconsider the zoning of the town in this way as it limits business growth and leaves final decisions arbitrary to individuals and council. This can limit long term businesses ready for expansion or seedling businesses just getting their legs steady. This is also very costly both to the town to manage and to the business to attempt to run and sell.
I am all for future planning of the town, but I feel we need to focus on compliance for general building regulations first. I know firsthand how buying a building that was not checked for compliance can affect your start up. The initial approximate $10,000 I had to put into my building was related to non-compliant fire and safety regulations. If we are already having trouble
with building compliance on basic regulations then complicating the bylaws further makes no sense. A more simple, well drawn up general business bylaw is what is needed rather than a nit-picky, pidgeon-holed one. I am also concerned that some of our local businesses that are legacy businesses (generations of family owned and operated) are being treated poorly. As a community member I ask council to be aware of already committed businesses in place and allowing them to thrive and expand forming stable growth as well as attracting new business with less red tape. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter Kimberley Katerenchuk, Owner/ Therapist Tapping Health Inc.

STAWNICHY, Edward E July 4, 1943 - May11, 2009 The rolling stream of life goes on But still the vacant chair Recalls the love, the voice The smile of one who sat there. So many things have happened Since you were called away. So many things to share with you If you were here today. They say time heals all sorrow, And helps us to forget But so far time has only shown, How much we miss you yet. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed. Peter & Verna Sharun & Families.
WESLOSKY, Ed June 5, 1926 – May 11, 2012 I’M FREE Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard his call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. God wants me now; He set me free. Love and missing you everyday Lucille, Gail, Lambert, Warren, Ryan, Dean, Lesa, Jordan & Danielle. SARAFINCHAN, Anne August 9, 1923 – May 16, 1990 To hear your voice and see your smile To sit with you and talk awhile, To be together in the same old way Would be our greatest wish today. So please God take a message To our precious Mom up above, Tell her we miss her terribly And give her all our love. Forever loved and remembered by children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.
CYMBALUK, Victor In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away on May19, 2011. Every day is filled with memories And loving thoughts of you, Of all the words and thoughtful things That you would say and do. You were always there when we needed you. No task to great or small, With loving heart and willing hands For us you did them all. Thanks for the years you gave us For all the time we shared, We will always love and miss you And remember how much you cared. Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts, Love, your wife Emily, Joanne and Marshall, Rick and Brenda, Debra and Joseph, Curt and Carrie and 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. Forever loved and remembered by the families of Michele Spak, Veronica James and James Neve.

STAWNICHY, Edward E July 4, 1943-May11, 2009 Partings come and hearts are broken, Loved ones leave us with words unspoken, Deep in our hearts there’s a memory kept For a husband and father we’ll never forget. Lonely is our home without you, Life to us is not the same, All this world would be like Heaven, Just to have you back again. We can’t have our old days back, When we were all together, But our loving thoughts and secret tears Will be with us forever. Ed, Dad, and Gido, You are missed so much. Lovingly remembered, Jane, Cheryl, Colette, & Families, Mickey & Bunny
PORAYKO, Ronald William May 13, 2012 Another year has passed Since God called you away But still we miss you Each and every day. What we wouldn’t give to take one more walk Or just quietly sit and have one more talk. Miss you Dad and always will For though you’re gone we love you still. Love always, your loving Wife Joyce, children Adele Coole, Kenneth, Brent(Jackie), and David, grandchildren Brittney(Curtis), Jeffery, Brianne, Mathew, greatgrandchildren Cara and Cohen. HOSSAY, Raymond July 18, 1939 – May 15, 2012 We wish you were here, but now you are gone. When times got tough, it was hard to carry on. We think of your jokes, laughs and smiles. We can remember when we used to ride in “Baby” for miles. When we were five years old you would drive us to school. We’d think gosh riding with grandpa isn’t this cool. And of course we would always stop at the store. But we always wanted grandpa to drive a little more. Grandpa, your “Bud” graduated and started University, we wish you could have seen. “Tashie” got 100 on her social test and made the “A” volleyball team. You lit up our world and put a lot of love in our hearts. We still feel you and we aren’t very far apart. Because we know that you are the angel that watches over us, After all there is no one else in the world we would rather it be. We still miss you and wish you were here, We only have to think of you and shed a big tear. He had to take you home so you wouldn’t suffer any more pain. Now you are in heaven and we can’t sit on your deck anymore and watch it rain. We just want to tell you that you’re always in our hearts. Even though we still cry, we know we’re not apart. Memories last a lifetime Grandpa... Kendra and Natasha
PAWLIUK, Alec June 21, 1917 - May 15, 2011 Your helping hand was always first to help if you could. Your voice was always raised in praise; Your words were wise and good. Dear father, since you’ve gone away, the ones you loved so true try hard to carry on the way, we know you’d want us to. We miss you Dad! Peggy, Don, Ken, Gayla and Families
Blades saw a chance to attend The 2013 NE Invitational Sled Hockey Tournament in Westfield, MA which was held from April 26 – 28, 2013. We were able to fly as a team, stay at hotels and play some sledge hockey. There were eight teams for the adult and eight for the junior levels.
There was an A and B pool. The PSA Blades were in the A pool and on Friday April 26 played a game at 8:30am and won by a score of 3-0 with Austin scoring two of the goals. Then the Blades played on Saturday April 27 at noon and won by a score of 4-1 with Austin getting another goal. Next game was 3:30 p.m.
and the team won this one 30. In that matchup, Austin got another goal. They played the Gold Medal game that Sunday, April 28, at 1:30 p.m.
and won that match 2-0. Their hard work as a team paid off, leaving the PSA Blades as Gold Medalists!
