Cleaning up this town

Kids help Peace Officer Dustin Angle clean up graffiti at the Elks Playground last week. Recently RCMP made an arrest in the case of a youth, who cannot be named under the criminal justice act, in relation to five separate acts of spray painting that occurred in Vegreville between Sept 20 and October 16.

The youth turned himself to police in after video footage was released to the public and a member from the RCMP was able to identify the suspect in the video footage. His first appearance in Youth Justice Court will be on November 24 for several charges of mischief. (Shelley Marie Berry/Photo)

Smile of the

WEEK

Aussies’ not so crazy notion of working for welfare (or EI) Kerry Anderson, Publisher Lamont Leader Sometimes the simplest ideas are staring you right in the face, and yet you still can’t see them. I believe the country of Australia might be on to something, and it seems so obvious I can’t believe the idea has never been implemented here.

The Aussies have introduced a “Work for Welfare” program in which people receiving welfare will be required to make 40 job applications every month. So basically, if you are on welfare it is now your job to try to get off welfare. Brilliant.

But that’s only part of the plan.

The second part is “Volunteer for Welfare” in which someone on welfare is also required to spend up to 25 hours a week volunteering in a community program.

Even more brilliant.

In today’s world, people are so busy being parents and taking their kids to activities that benefit their growth mentally, socially and athletically, that it cuts into the number of volunteers available. Service clubs and community activities always seem to lack

people with their hands in the air ready to help out.

The idea of working as a volunteer to receive welfare can fill a great deal of these volunteering vacancies, but also can give the recipient a whole lot of gratification in actually “earning” a living.

As well, welfare recipients would find themselves networking with people rather than being holedup at home.

I am pretty sure this could translate into the requirements for someone on EI as well. If so, suddenly our society could be over-run with people available to help out our presently overworked volunteers and community organizers before they quit due to fatigue.

Networking combined with dozens of job applications will increase the chance of someone finding value in hiring one of these people. The recipients who desperately want to work will appreciate the opportunities this will present. The ones who really don’t want to work may end up preferring a job over the hard work that not having a job presents.

Tom Olsen and the Wreckage rocks the country’s world Rosanne Fortier On October 10 when Ellen Dunn, owner of Vegreville Train Station invited Tom Olsen and the Wreckage to perform, she opened a window to an evening of countr y music with rhythmic energy that was so intense, it affirmed why people love music.

Tom Olsen and the Wreckage consists of Tom Olsen, SingerSongwriter on vocals, Lloyd Lewis as the lead guitarist, Mark Scholz, who was the drummer that replaced the original drummer, Bob Paterson for this show and Fingers Bjorgan as the bass

player.

Their performances lassoed the audience’s hearts with their original and cover country and blues tunes.

Hank Williams’s and Johnny Cash’s songs were presented with a unique touch. The lyrics in the songs conveyed messages about life in a fun-loving manner which made the audience ref lect on its meaning. Then throughout the show, there was a smoot h connect ion between Olsen and his band members.

Tom Olsen grew up in Edmonton. His backg r o u nd is in Communications where he worked as a political

reporter that covered pol it ic s for t he Edmonton Journal and Calgary Herald. “I loved being a reporter because its creative work and I enjoy writing and talking to people. My favorite part was when news stories were breaking and I had to respond quickly and work the deadline because I thought the adrenaline rush was a lot of fun,” Olsen said. “Then I became an editor and I enjoyed f inding and assigning stories to reporters because I had a lot of ideas about what would make a good story.”

The hallmark of Tom

Olsen’s life was when he worked as Ed Stelmach’s Media Relation Director when Stelmach was Premier of Alberta. “In Ed’s off ice, I dealt with the media where I arranged interviews for him, briefed him on the stories of the day and talked about key messages.”

“Now, I have my own company called Tom Olsen’s Public Affairs where I do speech writing, deal with the media and do media training.”

Tom Olsen said.

“I have been playing in a band for 20 years where I have been a singersongwriter. I did some recording too and my band and I are doing some more recording recently. I just started performing music professionally in a more serious way, which I really love doing and hope to do more of.”

Olsen said about his career in music.

Rosanne Fortier It was an evening to honor and recognize devoted students who

demonstrated outstanding citizenship, academic, fine arts and athletic achievements for the

Vegreville Composite High School 2013/2014 school year.

‘A zealous school, parents and community results in future heroic community members,’ was the message broadcast at VCHS awards night on October 24.

The awards night began with Mr. Jeff Hollinshead saying that due to the recent tragedies in Ottawa and Quebec, a ref lection on Canada’s landscape

was due; freedoms enjoyed and often taken for granted, honoring the men and women who sacrifice themselves in the name of freedom and peace. “We need to sing O’Canada with pride tonight.”

Hollinshead stated.

Hence, citizens joined in to sing O Canada with the VCHS Band.

“This evening is significant because of the cooperation of many organizations and individuals who

Carpentry Handyman Service Carpentry Handyman service, Renovations, Roofing House Sidings, Concreting and Building

have made it possible.”

Hollinshead said.

“I am proud of all [student] achievements. If you discovered or developed a natural talent or faced a challenge head-on to reach a goal, you too should be proud of your achievements.” Mr. Bruce B e l l i v e au , EIPS Superintendent, stated. “ Your achievements tonight show a need and drive to do your best and would not be possible without the support of community members, school staff, coaches and your parents.”

Nothing Simple about School Calendars Trina Boymook EIPS Board Chair The time has come once again for Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) to consult with our stakeholders on a new division calendar template.

Developing the division calendar sounds like it should be simple, but there is so much to consider when the Board of Trustees approves a calendar template.

We strive to have calendars that maximize student learning while considering the needs of families and staff. It also needs to accommodate Alberta Education requirements for Diploma Exam and Provincial Achievement Test schedules, professional learning days, Christmas break, and ensure our senior high schools have the same number of instructional days for each of the two semesters.

If that wasn’t enough, the calendar also has to adhere to

WEDNESDAY @ 5PM DEADLINE FOR ALL ADS

limits on the number of teaching days and hours that are set out in the School Act. This past spring, the Board tasked Administration with the major challenge of finding opportunities for job-embedded professional learning.

Over the years, the demands on our classrooms have grown.

It’s important for our staff to continue their own professional learning to assist them in providing quality educational experiences for our students. Professional learning opportunities are an important consideration when establishing a calendar.

Four calendar options have been developed for our stakeholders to consider. Three of the options propose one full day per month (with the exception of December and March) for staff meetings and professional learning. These calendar options have three more professional learning days than our current model, taking us from 11 to 14 operational days. These three options also no longer include monthly early dismissal days.

The fourth option is similar to the current calendar with 11 operational days and monthly early dismissal days for staff meetings.

We invite our stakeholders to review the calendar options and share their feedback through a short online survey.

Who should complete the survey? In a word: everyone – staff, students, parents/guardians (including those whose kids haven’t started school yet), and those who support families when kids are out of school (such as grandparents and childcare providers).

The survey will remain open until November 15. Visit www. eips.ca for more information on all four options and the link to the short survey.

the toughest regulations in the world for lead reduction in children’s toys; and drastically improved standards for cribs to keep infants and toddlers safe.

We also asked for a voluntary recall of the use of cadmium in children’s costume jewellery.

The launch of healthycanadians.gc.ca/kids now makes product recalls as easy as signing up for email info-alerts that can either be sent to smart phones or personal e-mail accounts. Canadians can select what type of product recall alert they would like to receive, including infoalerts on a variety of topics from car recalls to food recalls and toy recalls.

Updating Canada’s World-Leading Chemicals Management Plan Originally launched by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2006, the Chemicals Management

Plan provides funding to ensure Canadian consumer products are safe, and provides funding for research into substances like Bisphenol A, flame retardants, substances that affect hormone function and substances that affect the environment.

Stronger Labeling on Tobacco Packaging Part of consumer product safety is ensuring that consumers are fully aware of the product they are purchasing. This is why our Government has introduced new, updated and larger health warning messages for cigarette and little cigar packages, complemented and strengthened by a social marketing campaign targeted in particular at young Canadians.

Also, we tabled the Cracking Down on Tobacco Marketing Aimed at Youth Act, which is now law. The legislation bans

tobacco f lavours that would appeal to children and sets minimum package sizes and bans all tobacco advertising. We have also invested funds in preventing contraband tobacco.

Child Car Seat Testing We introduced new regulations to strengthen the testing standards of child car seats, making Canada’s testing among the toughest in the world.

A Strong Record of Action Some of the other measures this Government has taken to protect Canadians since 2006 - while encouraging healthy competition and lower prices - include: -reducing taxes to leave more money in the pockets of consumers; -removing tariffs on baby clothing and sports and athletic equipment to help reduce the cost of those goods for Canadian consumers; -strengthening the position of credit card users through sweeping reforms to require summary boxes for credit card statements, impose a mandatory 21day interest-free grace period on credit cards, ban

unsolicited credit card cheques and require consent for credit limit increases; -increasing access to funds by reducing cheque hold periods, banning negative option billing, and strengthening disclosure by introducing a mortgage prepayment code of conduct and regulations for pre-paid cards; -adopting a wireless policy focused on stimulating greater competition, which has helped to reduce wireless rates by 20 per cent since 2008 and led to more choice and better service for consumers; -requiring all-inclusive airfare advertising to ensure that consumers can clearly see the total price

of an airline ticket, with no hidden fees; -strengthening Canada’s food safety system by providing over $500 million since 2006 to support the hiring of new inspectors, an improved inspection approach, enhanced oversight of imported foods, increased scientific capacity, and better training and more modern tools for

inspectors; -introduced and passed the Fairness at the Pumps Act to help protect Canadians against pricefixing; and -implemented a new wireless code which provides individual and small business consumers far more choice, clarity and flexibility in their wireless contracts.

News Advertiser Page 13

These measures, and others, are taking effect to protect Canadian consumers against unfair retail practices. We will continue to make common sense changes which will

ensure that Canadians and their families get what they pay for when purchasing goods we buy every day, such as gas, clothes and groceries.

planted 8 Brassica seeds in their little containers and diligently watered and cared for their little sprouts. On October 8 the students disposed of any dead seedlings, carefully removed and shared

any extra healthy seedlings until they each had four healthy plants in their container. These plants will continue to sit under a grow light for another 30 – 40 days.

Gr. 3 & 4 students, Rori Anderson & Kienna Grosul, carefully plant extra seedlings in their container during Mrs. Morey’s science class.

Gr. 3 student, Simon Anderson, decides which seedling to move over to his empty slot.

WANDYKA, Ernest & Kaye In loving memory of our dear parents/ grandparents, Ernest who passed away November 5, 2001 and Kaye who passed away October 27, 2013.

We thought of you both with love today But that is nothing new.

We thought about you both yesterday And all the days before that too.

We think of you both in silence We often speak your names.

All we have are precious memories And your pictures in our frames.

Your memories are our keepsake With which we will never part.

God has you both in his keeping We have you both in our hearts.

So many times we needed you A million times we cried.

If love could have saved you both You never would have died.

In life we loved you both dearly And now we deeply love you still.

In our hearts we hold a place No one else can every fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you both But you haven’t gone alone.

For part of us went with you The day God took you home.

We get strength from Dad’s (Gidee’s) favorite saying “Let’s Just Take It One Step At a Time”.

Forever loved, remembered and sadly missed by their loving family: children – Audrey, Allan (Roxane) and grandchildren – Amanda (Trevor), Cody (Leah), Eric, Spencer, Sara (Ian), Kassandra, Kohl and Alan (Natasha), numerous family members and friends.

Bootiful decorations

These two boo-tiful examples of lawn decorating at Halloween were prime examples of what scary decorations look like. We took the pictures during the day however, because at night, well, they were just too scary. (Michael Simpson/Photos)

Lazorowich said “In 1941, she married the love of her life, William Warburton.

They raised three children, two boys and a girl and in 1972 they moved to Vegreville, Alberta.

“Phyllis is a wife, a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother,

and a teacher, but to us she is a treasure!

“When she joined our Classy Canadians we knew we were in for a treat!

Her quiet demeanor belies the wonderful heart of a very intelligent, joyful lady who brings with her the kindness and gentleness of a great spirit. You know you are in for a great story when she begins with, ‘ Well….in 1975….’”

Lazarowich said.

“She has been an asset to our community. You can find her in so many different niches, quietly

“She is an active member of her church and def ines the 12 years teaching at the Dr. Cairns School for differently-able children and adults as the highlight of her career.

“In Vegreville, Phyllis was nominated for volunteer or the year and this year, she has been nominated for Senior Citizen of the Year.

Well deserved, Phyllis.

“It is with pride that we bestow an Honorary Membership to the Crow n Jewels of Canada Society upon Phyl lis Warbur ton.

Well deserved indeed!”

Lazarowich added.
