Hemmingways win Snap Fitness challenge Michael Simpson Editor A charming couple has claimed first and second prize in the Snap Fitness “Move it to Lose it” challenge, which took place over four months beginning in January and ending with a final weigh in on April 29 and 30. Bob Hemmingway (76) and his wife Bette (77) hit the local gym a total of 79 times each during the four-month contest which started January 9. First place was clinched by Bob, who lost the biggest percentage of bodyweight of all the competing contestants, dropping 33 pounds, or 15.8 per cent. His wife Bette, took second after losing 11 pounds, or 6.7 per cent. Since losing the weight, the benefits have become most apparent. A smiling Bob proudly stated that after the event, he was back to the same weight he maintained during his service in the air force and on his wedding day – 52 years ago. A smiling Bette confirmed that it’s been a welcome
change. “We tried to come to the gym 6 days a week,” Bob explained. “But it’s not just been about the exercise. Obviously we had times where we had conferences to attend and getting to the gym was a challenge. The other half of all this was changing our approach to our diets.” For Bob, this meant that dropping breads from his list was a key component. After some research, he settled on a popular protein and vegetable-based diet known as the South Beach diet which cuts breads and fruits out during the first week, followed by a gradual phasing in of carbohydrates and sugars that are believed by the diet’s creator, to be of the “good” variety. In his first week, Bob said he lost around five pounds from diet alone. Having a personal trainer through Snap Fitness also helped, he explained. “I did my 30-minute basic 8 workout which alternated weight training and cardio training. Each visit we went, it was about an

Vegreville Snap Fitness Owner Christy Hoffman-Webb presents Bob Hemmingway with his first-place $1,000 cash prize after losing the highest percentage of weight in the Move it to Lose it 4-month challenge. Bob’s wife, Bette, won second place in the challenge as well.

hour each day,” Bob said. After slimming down to 177 pounds, he won a $1,000 cash prize along with a year membership with Snap Fitness. His wife, Bette, confessed her biggest challenge had been to eat a minimum of 1,200 calories a day. “I’ve always had a great deal of difficulty eating enough,” Bette said. “I don’t burn food very easily. It was hard at first, I wasn’t making any real gains.” Bette said she turned to personal trainer Laura Sturrock for three sessions, who consults out of Snap Fitness. “She was instru-
mental in my total body strength training,” Bette said. “She also monitored my food intake and we talked about how I was sleeping. Turns out I wasn’t sleeping very well, and this had a great impact because when my body is stressed either from not eating or not getting enough sleep, I was putting on weight.” Bette said Sturrock’s ‘age doesn’t matter’ approach saw her jump from pushing 80 pounds on the leg press up to 200 pounds as she progressed. “When it came to lifting weights, it’s always been a mental thing,”
Bette said. “Laura helped me get past that.” As a second place winner, Bette received a $250 Snap Fitness credit. As part of the challenge, contestants were given access to presentations on healthy eating habits and healthy food advice as well. Both husband and wife conceded that the seminars were most helpful. “It was a very well-managed challenge. We’re so grateful that we took part in it and in such a wonderful facility as it is.” As a contributor to the challenge, Vegreville’s Subway restaurant, owned by Paul Rehill, had offered discounts to contestants. According to Snap Fitness owner Christy Hoffman-Webb, those contestants had been among the ones with higher amounts of weight loss during the chal-
lenge. In total, all contestants lost a combined amount of 100 pounds through 500 gym visits.

Michael Simpson Editor As the Vegreville and District Child Development Coalition moves from gauging needs for child development to meeting targets, a facilitating program has emerged in the form of In the
Nest. In the Nest is a pilot family connection program aimed at matching families with children from the ages of newborn to six years old to local support, programming and resources that are offered in Vegreville. The VDCDC’s concur-

rence with the old adage ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ is essentially embodied through In the Nest, which seeks to provide the ability for all developing children to reach their full potential. “We have an abundance of resources that attend to the five domains of child development,” Robert Andrews, Co-chair of In the Nest, said. “When the VDCDC compiled all the data supplied by the province and our local resource mapping project, we came out ahead of the provincial average in terms of resources available that facilitate child development.” Fellow Co-chair Julie Gottselig agreed, adding that in analyzing the information that VDCDC’s members had been working on pointed to a lack of engagement. “People just weren’t coming out,” Gottselig said. The solution, through In the Nest, is to empower parents through support and engagement. The program is currently seeking mentors who will work with families to put them in touch with the right programs, direct them to local events and offer advice, as much as it is seeking families to register through In the Nest to be connected with all that Vegreville has to offer. Some of these offerings include story time at the library, Parent Link programs, registered music classes, pool and arena activities, sports and more. Parents can get connected by calling Anya Langkow, who is serving as the Family Connection Coordinator for In the Nest. “So far everyone that’s heard about the program thinks its great,” Langkow said. “We’re now in the recruitment phase. That means we’re seeking mentors who will be community contacts and participants. People can call me and we can have a conversation to determine if they are wanting to participate or if they would like to mentor. There’s a mentor information session happening this Thursday (May 22) at the Vegreville Preschool where interested residents can get more information. Perhaps if they come out to learn more, the whole thing will appear less daunting.” Ultimately, the In the Nest
program is about putting children into contact with activities and experience that help them develop at a healthy rate. According to Andrews, local data still shows that 1 in 4 children in the Vegreville area are still struggling in one area of development or another. By participating in the program as an end-user, parents are giving their children the advantage of extra time in areas where development may be lagging behind. By participating as a mentor, people are helping grow the communities children with positive engagement, ensuring that when the day comes when they finally do leave the nest, they’re fully prepared to fly on their own.
Vegreville Garden Club starts busy season
After a long winter, the Vegreville Garden Club started 2014 with its annual meeting held in March with President Olga Jamison welcoming everyone. Members were getting anxious to get out and start gardening and on Monday April 28th we had greenhouse grower Heather Zachoda, owner of Zachoda’s Berry Farm & Greenhouse, from St.
News Advertiser Page 3 Michael, AB, as our speaker. She showed new 2014 varieties that they grow at their greenhouse. She also talked about her favourites, such as beautiful coloured petunias, wirevine, June Berry strawberries were just a few, and how to care for plants during the growing season. The greenhouse was opened to the public on May 1, curious growers can look for signs
along highway 855. The Garden Club also held two hot dog sales on May 2nd and May 13th at the Vegreville Co-Op. The Garden Club also held their annual perennial & plant sale at the Farmer’s Market on May 16th. Happening gardening – nothing tastes like fresh produce from your garden. (Sonia Hunka/Submitted)

Smile of the
WEEK
Celebrating earth day with contamination less than ideal for local farmer In late April, we celebrated earth day… rather others celebrated it. Here at home, we conversed with lawyers, neighbours and land men about “contamination of earth” day. Contamination? Yes, contamination! It seems that a great deal of our community think that as farmers, we don’t have any rights to a living, that our land is there to be tromped on for the personal gain and recreation of others. We witnessed filthy vehicles moving from one neighbours field to another! Our neighbours have caught kids and adults ripping through their fields on dirt bikes contaminating and leaving ruts for him to deal with. Last year we found ATV tracks in our standing crop. ENOUGH! As farmers we take great pride in keeping the land we are raising food on clean. It’s our career, our passion, and our pride to be able to produce food. Unfortunately our soil is being threatened by the ignorance and lack of ethics of others. Owners of motorcycles, snowmobiles and ATV’s in general seem to think they are in one big playground! Pipe and power line workers make false promises about cleanliness then take filthy vehicles from one piece of land to the next without giving it a thought to what they are depositing on the soil that feeds their very own families. So what is this contamination? Club Root Disease, which is spread by spores picked up on shoes, tires, anything touching infected soils. This is a devastating disease for canola. It’s also devastating for producers as canola is a huge part of our income and crop rotation. As producers, we carefully wash and disinfect all foreign equipment before entering our land. As neighbours, we avoid entering other fields than our
own, without taking proper precautions. We respect the soil, and the strides taken by our fellow agriculturalists and expect the same in return. Enter the dirt bikes, quads, and snowmobiles. No fences? No problem! They traverse for miles without thought or permission. Enter the land men for pipe and power lines. A spritz of bleach on the trucks with mud and straw literally dripping off of them and that’s good enough for the farmer, right? Wrong! If you are in the gas, oil, power industry and you HAVE to enter our land, remember we lose income from not being able to produce crops on contaminated land. Please consider, this is not a joke to us, it’s our life. You wouldn’t appreciate it if we cost you your jobs! Our farms are NOT playgrounds for gear heads on bikes. As a farmer, I do not appreciate being treated as a doormat for oil, gas or power companies. Agriculture is an industry too! What’s more, it’s a very vital industry as well. Agriculture is the life-blood of rural community. It’s sad, but the time has come to put up no trespassing signs, and trespassers WILL be prosecuted. If you want to ride your toys, go to designated trails and parks, at least there you’ll be with people who appreciate you. We do not. Populations are growing and land is dwindling. It’s time we all did something to protect what is left, and who is left to manage and farm it. Maybe you didn’t realize that you were harming anyone. Now you do. Please use care, and respect, and please NO TRESPASSING. Sincerely, Ken and Jacqueline Farion

Vegreville Alzheimer’s – Dementia Society gets underway Mario Alexandriuk Submitted Do you know of anyone that suffers from Alzheimer’s or dementia? Alzheimer’s disease is mostly the cause of demen-
tia. Many older adults maintain mental alertness and are still active and maintain their intelligence as they always were. Concerns usually revolve around in the slowness of
retrieving information from the brain. Sever memory loss, being in a state of confusion, changes in one’s personality and not having the ability to do routine tasks is known as dementia and results from brain processes not being normal. Dementia is not related only to age. Within 15 years, statistics from the medical profession are predicting that Alzheimer’s will be the leading cause of high health care expenditures. Alzheimers is an illness that eventually robs its victims of the ability to do even the most simplest of tasks. Family members who are caring for their loved ones that are suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia find it very challenging to care for them. Many of them are at a loss and feel helpless in how to care for the sufferers of Alzheimer’s. That is why it is
so important that we as human beings continually support and fund Alzheimer’s research. There is no known way to really prevent Alzheimer’s illness presently, but there is a lot we can do to help Alzheimer’s sufferers. The following are warning signs that are generally attached to Alzheimer’s. -Memory loss -Difficulty performing daily familiar tasks -Problems and difficulty understanding language -Being disorientated with regard to time and place -Poor and/or decreased judgement -Problems thinking in an abstract fashion -Things being misplaced -Mood or behaviour changes -Personality changes -Initiative is lost Specifically, the person may
not experience all of these warning signs. This list does not mean that this is the order in which warning signs may occur either. The foremost warning sign is usually forgetfulness. Not remembering where the car keys were placed and not remembering the doctor’s appointment all on the same day does not mean the person has Alzheimer’s disease. This forgetfulness may last for many months and has to get worse as time goes on. Along with the forgetfulness, another one or maybe two other symptoms will go along with this loss of memory. If you are in doubt, whether or not you may have Alzheimer’s, seek a doctor’s expert opinion. He may feel that a few tests could alleviate your anxiety. Applying and using what you learn about Alzheimer’s disease could assist you and your loved one to face these challenges with some dignity and grace. There currently is a handful of drugs on the market and although they are all well tolerated, there comes many common side effects with them. These all include gastrointestinal problems, nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, loss of appetite, and vomiting. All of these drugs are made to maintain cognitive functions and if the medications are stopped, one often experiences a very fast and noticeable drop in these functions. Also, having to write things down on paper such as doctor’s appointments, birthday gatherings or other socializing events and keeping these dates visible will supplement cognition and reduce memory losses. This does not eliminate the fact that the person has Alzheimer’s, it will
only minimize the visual degree of forgetfulness. As the Alzheimer’s disease deepens and takes a larger grip on the person, changes in mood and behaviours become more common and prevalent. Many of these abnormal behaviours are part and parcel of one’s inability to remember things, have problems to reason with others and also the inability to solve problems. Getting an early diagnosis could lead to realistic expectations for the caregivers. This would give a better understanding of Alzheimer’s and how to effectively communicate and care for the one that is suffering with the disease. It is recommended that the one who is suffering from Alzheimer’s stay away from caffeine and alcohol because both are stimulants to the body. One way to intervene in some types of behavioral problems and to have some improvements in the sufferer’s quality of livelihood is by making sure that the person is actively involved in daily chores and activities. Research into the Alzheimer’s disease is continually moving forward and at a rapid pace in the hope of finding a cure. There is the ongoing quest for understanding and combating the Alzheimer’s destructive mannerisms. For more information on what you can do locally to help support victims of Alzheimers, contact the Alzheimer’sDementia Society, P.O. Box 62, Vegreville, AB. T9C – 1R1.

Mother’s Day luncheon dotes on mothers Rosanne Fortier Vegreville’s Elks Hall was humming with conversations and goodwill while 150 citizens seized the opportunity to help out a fundraising event and cherish their mothers at the Royal Purple’s Mother’s Day luncheon and bake sale on May 8. The luncheon boasted such delights as potato salad, chicken salad, buns, vegetables, strawberry shortcakes and tea and coffee. The bake sale had everything a person needs to give to their mother so she can have a well-deserved break. Joyce Porayko, Honoured Royal Lady (HRL) said that this is an annual fundraiser that they held for approximately 30 years. “All the money raised goes to charity. We have donated to the Christmas Bureau, Vegreville Food Bank, Wendy Brook Music Festival, VTSS, numerous school awards, the Vortex Football Team, Vegreville’s Preschool Association, Camp He Ho Ha and the Stollery Children’s Hospital.
Vegreville Elks Hall hummed with conversations and good will while 150 people seized the opportunity to help a great fundraising event and cherish their mothers at the Royal Purple’s Mother’s Day luncheon and bake sale on May 8. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo) “We used to have take-out service where we put lunches out for 400 to 500 people but we don’t have enough members to provide that service anymore. We encourage new members to join all the time. All women who are 16 years and older can join this service club. This club is gratifying because all our work is done
for charity. So, it gives a person a purpose to their life.” Barbara Morris, who treats her mother annually to this luncheon, expressed her affection for her mother, Elsie Matviw. “My mother is special in every way. She’s a very caring person who loves her family and grandchildren. “She’s 89 years-old and an
independent woman who everyone admires because she lives in her own home and does all her own gardening. She has a huge garden that she is willing to share with everyone. I’m so blessed to have her for my mother and I wish her the best of health and many more years of life.”

Managing prosperity on the beef farm Agri-News An Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development
(ARD) specialist says now that the cow-calf business seems to be on the upswing,
producers should be looking at where to invest their positive margins.
“Beef farmers are survivors,” says Rick Dehod, farm financial specialist, ARD,
Edmonton. “The last ten years have not been good to cash reserves due to high feed costs, low margins and a litany of other factors. Now the markets are offering an opportunity to repair the damages and look ahead to a bit of prosperity. The question is what to invest those positive margins in?” Dehod recommends producers first know their business costs with a goal of reducing those costs, not only when the farm is losing money, but also during the good years when margins improve. “There are three kinds of costs,” explains Dehod. “There are unnecessary costs, which should be cut mercilessly, and borderline costs, which require good management skills to determine their effects on your operation. There are also the necessary costs which can’t be cut, as doing so would negatively affect your profit. But even they can be managed and tweaked to create efficiencies.” One concern has been limited cash flow combined with the problem of where to invest those few dollars. “We have all tried to make do with less, but saving
pennies can cost you dollars at the same time,” explains Dehod. “The key point is to consider the quality of the item you are investing in and not just the price.” Dehod says Alberta Agriculture’s Agriprofit$ beef economics page can help to analyze and benchmark an operation’s cost of production. “Invest in your farm’s technology, grazing systems, feed systems and handling systems,” advises Dehod. “When cash is tight, investment in these items can be seen as borderline expenses. We know that large retailers of beef are looking at sustainability on the farm. How sustainable is your farm or ranch?” Dehod offers the following suggestions: -Seed those marginal lands that were broken up for grain and oilseed production back to pasture or hay land. New stands will be more productive. -Use some profits to replace fences, cross fence pastures, or fence riparian areas. -Review your environmental plan and use profits to correct deficiencies. -Improve your handling system – if you’re handling more stock, make it safe for them and for you. -Improve technology and consider options such as traceability technology adoption, Beef InfoXchange System (BIX 2.0), on-farm water and energy management, smartphone, etc. “There are many Growing Forward 2 programs now open to farmers and ranchers that can help address the areas above. Using your profits can lever program funds to improve your farm’s competitive advantage into the future.”

TOMSZA, Bart May 23, 1998 The rolling stream of life rolls on, But still the vacant chair Recalls the love, the voice, the smile Of the one who once sat there.

TOMSZA, Anna 1911 - 2008 Angel’s Kiss It’s my selfishness that makes me cry, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to let you go, I pray you know I loved you so. It’s me, not you who suffers here, I know your life goes on some where. I know that I should celebrate, You’ve walked through Heaven’s glorious gate. But, still I can’t stop thinking of, Your smile, your touch, your special love, I know that you hear what I say, Its just done in a different way. And so, I want to send you this, To you, the one I love and miss, All my love upon an Angel’s Kiss. I love you forever my Mom, Until we meet again. Your son Dennis.
In Loving Memory of RUDYK, Gladys May 20, 2013 They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true We never wanted memoires We only wanted you A million times we needed you A million times we’ve cried If love alone could have saved you You never would have died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place No one can ever fill A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best Forever missed & loved Marge, Judy, Shauna and families. FASEK, Geraldine In memory of our wife, sister, mother, grandmother Geraldine Fasek who passed away on May 19, 2009, He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered “Peace be Thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you. But you didn’t go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. Forever missed by: William, Nick and Sandra Fasek, Todd, Linda, Jasmine and Diesel Fenske.

Matthew 26.29 “I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in my Father’s Kingdom.” On April 15, Vegreville United Church’s members and adherents took on the challenge of recreating this emotion while they passionately presented a miraculous production of The Living Last Supper, a dramatic musical experience for Holy Week by Ruth Elaine Schram. Christians from all congregations packed the pews of Vegreville United Church’s Sanctuary to wit-
ness this solemn Christian event. Terry Kubin opened with a welcoming statement, followed by a scripture reading by Rev. Carolyn Woodall. Overture/processional was next. The Senior Choir followed with the song, How Great His Love. The play got underway, opening with the 12 disciples who were engaged in low-tone monologue as they walked in. Simon Peter was the first disciple to speak. “We caught nothing while we were fishing but we saw a group of people around the great preacher Jesus. Jesus approached me and asked if I would take him to shore and help him be a fisher of men. I never regretted being Jesus’ friend yet Jesus told me I would reject him three times. Lord, is it I?”

Andrew spoke next. “I love bringing people to Jesus because he’s kind and loving and open to anyone who is searching for the truth. But Jesus has enemies in high places who might want to see him dead. Someone will betray him. Lord, is it I?” James, the Lesser continued on. “Since I have been following Jesus, I noticed that he has the power to calm the sea, heal diseases and forgive sins. Now, one who eats and drinks at this table with him, will betray him. Lord, is it I?” Is it I by the Vocal Ensemble performed next where their melody was smooth, soft and kept to the right tone while it complimented the past three disciples’ dialogue. “Jesus called us to follow him the same way he called Peter. Jesus chose me. We have been present for countless miracles and healings. How could anyone betray him? Lord, is it I?” James, the son of Zebedee said. Matthew went on to say, “Before I became a disciple of Jesus, I worked for the Roman government collecting taxes. I used to take advantage of the perks for this position and I realized that I cheated my neighbors of their hard-earned money. My heart has changed now because Jesus has helped me. Now they speak of a traitor. Lord, is

it I?” “Before Jesus called me, I was a member of the zealot that refused to pay taxes. Since I believe in Jesus, I realize that he expects us to pay our dues. The Son of God reaches out to people to teach them about His Kingdom. Could I somehow go back to my old ways and betray our King? Is it I?” Simon, the Zealot added. The song, King Triumphant by the Vocal Ensemble was performed after this where the original beat created an uplifting feel. “People told me about Jesus but it wasn’t until I got to know him that I realized that he was offering something more intimate and personal than anyone else. Jesus knew my innermost thoughts. I don’t know what would make me betray my friend. Is it I?” Bartholomew Nathanael said. Philip spoke after this. “Jesus came when I was working one day and he asked me to follow him. I spent the day with him and I realized on that day that he was the promised one. Could anyone of us forget his power and compassion?” “His hands are rough yet gentle. They cared for a leper and healed countless infirmities and diseases. Those hands have shown mercy, healing and kindness. Who could betray him into the hands of an enemy? Is it I?” Labbaeus Thaddaeus said. His Hands performed by Vocal Ensemble entered the
sanctuary then and created a real spiritual feel with their smooth, soft voices. “I once thought because I was Jesus’ disciple I would have a place of prestige in His Kingdom. I found out that He doesn’t seek the rich and powerful but dines in the halls of sinners and common folks. God sent his son because he loved the world so much that he doesn’t want anyone of us to perish but to have eternal life. Could I betray him? Is it I?” John asked. “I have been listening to Jesus speak and he talks about someone betraying him. I have seen him perform wonders and I don’t know how anyone could do this to him. I don’t want him to go away. Is it I?” Thomas said. Judas Iscariot spoke then with a voice laced with suspicion. “Why would God send a Messiah to wash feet and serve bread? I have no need of a Spiritual King, I need a Political King. Something must be done to force him to make a kingdom. Is there a betrayer among us, perhaps? Oh yes, someone will betray him. Master, is it I?” The reprise of How Great His Love by the Senior Choir sang again. Then Gary Bergen offered the closing remarks. “When God called these 12 men to establish the New Testament Church, he chose ordinary individuals, people like you and me. These men were works in progress, men whose qualities needed to be honed, molded and challenged in positive ways. It is
