Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Vegreville’s World Famous Pysanka was the back drop for filming of a special production featuring the history of the North West Mounted Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police filmed on October 18.

The iconic symbol was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the RCMP and it caught the imagination of writer and filmmaker Rob Lennard.

“I’m actually an historian and a former director with the Alberta Heritage School Fair Program. I’ve actually visited no less than 120 towns and cities, but I’ve never

5113-52 Ave, Vegreville, AB T9C 1M2 www.northstarauto.ca

been to Vegreville and seen the world famous egg.

And that said, my Twitter account at Alberta History is recognized as well researched history. It’s interesting, I put out a tweet about a year ago about the connection of the Mounties and the Vegreville egg. That tweet had 20,000 views for it, so that’s something.”

Lennard said, “I was inspired by the Blues Brothers movie, the car chase and fun with the kids. It had a real fun angle to it, and of course, Dan Aykroyd is Canadian.

First and foremost is the history apart from the chase

2021 Election Results See Pages 12 & 13 for full details

Town of Vegreville Election Day Michelle Pinon News Advertiser It was chilly and overcast on Election Day, but that did not deter voters from casting their ballots on Oct. 18.

There was a steady stream of voters filing in and out of the Vegreville Social Centre shortly after 10 am. Resident Margaret Taylor said “no one knew where to vote” and did not see anything advertised or posted on Facebook. “It wasn’t in the municipal scoop that comes with your utility bill.”

Don Dreger came to vote with his wife Barb and said “all went well” and that it was very well organized. There was a total of 14 voting stations inside the social centre which made for a quick turnaround time.

Dale Essensa also said it was very well organized. Essensa said he is happy with what the mayor has done over the last four years and was pleased with the property tax rate and the services the town has to offer.

Tina Warawa said she was

really excited to see how interested voters were and liked the fact there was opportunity to have a choice of candidates. She was hoping to be re-elected to sit on council and that the there would be newcomers on council that would bring something new to the table.

Warawa said this will be an extremely challenging time for municipal councils because they are all facing a decrease in provincial government funding. Warawa said she will continue to bring feedback from residents to council so they truly feel heard.

REP Program Takes Effect in Vegreville Michelle Pinon News Advertiser October 19 marked the first day the Town of Vegreville implemented the Restrictions Exemption Program, (REP) with an exemption for vaccine eligible youth sports participants in all of its recreational facilities.

The decision did not come without extensive debate and it was something members of town council felt it was the provincial government’s responsibility.

However, having been mandated to offer one of three possible exemption programs, town council chose the one it felt would best serve its residents.

Mayor Tim MacPhee said, “I can tell you that these decisions are not easy to make and it would be nice if the government and the elected officials of the Government of Alberta had the courage to do their job when it comes to health care issues. But in that lack of leadership it falls to the elected officials of our municipality to make these decisions.

When it comes to our facilities and the health and safety of our citizens we will make the decisions.”

He expressed his frustration with what he called vaguely written policies from the provincial government. “We reached out to different levels of health care. We reached out to the Ministry of Health if they could help us clarify some of the rules within REP and non-REP programs and we were left confused. And then three days later things changed again. We

were left to make decisions on the health and safety of our citizens on our own basically without any input from the MLA.” Council had previously discussed the need for a local COVID-19 testing site.

MacPhee said, “I can tell you that the officials at the hospital, the officials with the town, myself personally, have been pushing very hard to get a COVID testing site back to town.” He is hoping that later this week there will be something definitive to report on that. “I do believe we are very close to making that announcement.”

As far as security, MacPhee said the Town of Vegreville will be providing security at its recreation facilities. “For the first two weeks our recreation facilities are going into the REP program, and we are going to be utilizing our bylaw officers in that position. Plus, there will be some help from some of our firefighters filling in the hours at the arena.

We do not want to put a lifeguard or some junior staff members, our maintenance guys or our facilities manager out in front of the public because there will be backlash from people that aren’t vaccinated right off the bat. So, we’re trying to establish some authority right from the get go.

These are the rules, and we are there to enforce them. I would imagine after a few weeks of this protocol in place everybody will get use to coming and going in our rec facilities.”

Mandatory Vaccines!

Read the Fine Print

Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser - Opinion

You can look back through history and find examples of politicians who say one thing and do another. Although, I’m sure not necessarily an accurate depiction of historical events, there are countless movies that portray this all the way back to the Roman Empire.

We tend to find a little more transparency these days with all of our technology and everyone having a video camera in their pocket. Most people tend to behave a little better when they are on camera and their words cannot be left to someone’s memory but rather are recorded for perfect recall. That’s MOST people.

There are those among us that really have no shame and don’t give telling half-truths or talking out of both sides of their mouth as second thought.

A prime example? The mandatory vaccination requirements that the Trudeau Liberals are proudly announcing they are imposing on federal workers and federally mandated industry.

This is a case where you need to forget the carefully crafted speeches and read the fine print because as it turns out, mandatory is not really mandatory after all.

Despite using vaccination as a wedge issue during the elec-

tion, suggesting that testing was not enough, actions speak louder than words. “We’re unequivocal that civil servants must be vaccinated,” Trudeau said at the start of the campaign. The plan for mandatory vaccinations for more than a quarter of a million federal workers on the other hand has more holes than Swiss cheese.

“Proof of vaccination will be required by no later than the end of this month for all federal employees,” Trudeau said in the beginning of October. However, the policy doesn’t require actual proof of vaccination. Unlike your average Canadian attempting to return home from a trip across the border. The policy goes on with allowances for medical and religious exemptions and provides testing as an alternative for those who do not get vaccinated. The last point was one that Trudeau stated during the election was “not good enough” when proposed by O’Toole.

Unlike average Canadians across the country who must show proof of vaccinations before traveling home, entering restaurants or public buildings in some jurisdictions, civil servants need only to sign an attestation that they are vaccinated. It’s officially more difficult to sit down and eat a burger than to be approved to work for the federal government.

The policy instructs managers to provide accommodations for those unable to get vaccinated. The definition of “unable to get vaccinated” seems to be left to interpretation so the reasoning could easily be “I don’t want to.”

Despite stating in a news conference that exemptions would be “exceedingly narrow, specific, and to be honest, somewhat onerous to obtain,” the policy seems to prove otherwise.

Much like “Mandatory hotel quarantine” It should be clear to everyone that this is yet another case of virtue signalling by Trudeau. Anything to have his adoring fans praise him on social media, many of whom are detached from reality. The policy imposed on federal workers provides no more protection that what Canadians already enjoy with our current levels of vaccinations. Eighty-eight percent of Canada’s eligible population have received their first shot and 82 percent have received their second. There is no doubt that provincial mandates will increase those numbers to make up for the shortfall in the federal policy which of course Trudeau will take credit for.

But don’t fret. As stated after winning the election, Trudeau is eager to get to work on Canadian’s priorities. But... much like his mandatory vaccine policy, it’s important to read the fine print. “Eager” in Trudeau’s world is not quite the same as say... how kids are eager to go trick or treating. Eager for Trudeau is November 22. Around another 5 weeks from now. Perhaps we will see him diligently working on his tan, his surfing or his Halloween costume before getting back to running the country.

Economic Development Manager Shares Vision for Vegreville Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Bab Bezpalko is a self proclaimed “information junkie” and the Town of Vegreville’s new economic development manager has been conducting a great deal of research and familiarizing himself with the community.

On Oct. 5 Bezpalko gave his first formal presentation and shared his vision during town council’s legislative committee meeting.

Bezpalko said he’s been working hand in hand with Town Manager Cliff Craig for the past six months and wanted to provide some key information as well as explain his own personal approach to economic development.

Bezpalko told council that he has been working in the field of economic development for close to 20 years and “grew up in this neck of the woods” having attended school in Derwent. He said he wished they, (teachers) knew what economic development was back then.

“My background is in advertising and

He went on to say that, “InnoTech is one of our strongest value propositions going.”

Dan's Quote of The Week promotion, and I spent years in radio and marketing, and that’s what economic development is, marketing. There’s a difference between selling and marketing.

Selling is pushing the product in a very respectful way, but marketing is addressing the needs. And that’s where the focus is.”

Bezpalko openly admitted that, “I eat, breathe, and live economic development.” Innovation and embracing change are part of the town’s mission statement, and said that embodies the world we live in today.

He explained that economic development is a process of creating wealth in the community, which in turn provides a better quality of life for its residents.

“There’s product development and there’s product promotion. Product development, of course, is the Town of Vegreville. Marketing is like asking someone on a date and branding is the reason they say yes. So, that’s how I relate to it.

My approach is research based, strategy led, collaborative, and proactive.

Economic development isn’t a separate dept. its woven through the fabric of the organization, and Vegreville is a great example of that.”

He spoke about “enabling Investment”

and “retention and expansion.” So, “Whether we’re telling our story to someone in the UK or in Vegreville the information is the same.” He noted that business support, entrepreneurship, and community capacity building at the town and regional level all go hand in hand.

Bezpalko has met with various businesses since he started in the position. He said discussions are ongoing, and he’s learning where their needs, barriers and opportunities lie. “Again, information is critical, but it needs to get out to there.”

"Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great."

The Road to a Carbon Free Future will be Rougher than we Thought Pat Murphy Troy Media Columnist

If you’ve been following international news lately, you’ll have noticed a new development. Europe and Asia are suddenly worried about energy. With winter coming, costs are soaring and there’s even concern about shortages that might trigger industrial shutdowns and endanger people’s ability to heat their homes.

From an object of loathing and scorn, fossil fuels have been transformed into objects of desire. And as transitory as that attitudinal shift may be, it’s also a stark reminder of the extent to which modern life depends on the likes of natural gas, oil and such.

This would come as no surprise to Steven Koonin, the author of a recent controversial book called Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters. Koonin is a physicist who spent several years as undersecretary for science in the U.S. Department of Energy under President Barack Obama.

Let’s be clear about something: Koonin doesn’t reject the proposition that humans influence the climate. He’s not a “denier.” So if you’re looking for a book arguing that climate change is a hoax, don’t bother with Unsettled. You’ll get no joy from it.

That said, Koonin has a range of observations, many of them critical about what has become climate orthodoxy.

For instance, delving into the details of the underlying research papers provides a more nuanced and uncertain picture than we’re presented with via press releases

and media summaries; climate science is far less mature than generally portrayed; sometimes information morphs into persuasion, thereby blurring the distinction between science and advocacy; and there’s a real fear of the career consequences attendant on publicly critiquing the orthodoxy.

Koonin also devotes a long chapter to models in general and how much climate science depends on them. Having authored one of the first textbooks on computational physics modelling, it’s a subject he knows something about.

Koonin isn’t against modelling; he quotes the famous observation that “All models are wrong, but some are useful.” However, he believes that modelling the Earth’s climate “remains one of the most challenging scientific simulation problems there is.”

So be warned about banking on the results.

Along the way, he discusses some of the related issues.

There’s the question of how the model tuning process can range from guesswork to cooking the books; there’s the matter of models dramatically disagreeing with each other, a fundamental discrepancy that’s then down played by averaging the results; and there’s the fact that they can’t explain the strong warming observed from 1910 to 1940, which suggests there are material climate influencers that the models neither understand nor capture.

As for the talk about the world becoming carbonfree over the next half-century, Koonin calls it “a practical impossibility.” There are several reasons.

Modern prosperity and economic development are closely related to the availability of abundant, affordable and reliable energy. Today, fossil fuels

Alberta RCMP Warn Consumers of Online Hay Sale Scam Heather Curling Club Annual General Meeting All Members,New and Interested Members encouraged to attend.

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2021 at 7:00 pm Upstairs above the rink.

Covid-19 protocol Contact 780-632-2010 for further information

Alberta RCMP Submitted Alberta RCMP are warning rural and farming communities to be aware of fraud that affects consumers looking to purchase hay. Due to extreme drought conditions this past summer, there is now a high demand for hay which is being sold at increased costs. This may cause farmers and agricultural workers to make purchases without taking time to properly verify or research production sources.

Hearing Evaluations Vegreville Clinic

October 28 , 2021 - 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Walk-Ins Are Welcome

Across various RCMP jurisdictions this year, various groups have scammed victims of approximately $64,000. With many cases potentially not being reported, this figure could be higher.

Recently, fraudsters have been placing listings for hay on social media and buyand-sell platforms, requesting immediate payment before buyers have the opportunity to research the producer, see the product, or receive delivery. This summer, both Evansburg RCMP and Grande Prairie RCMP received similar reports of transactions on Facebook Marketplace for a purchase of hay where a quantity of money was sent through an e-transfer, but no hay was delivered, and the funds were lost.

In all reported cases of hay fraud, the maximum individual deposit sent to scammers was over $5,000, and the minimum was $1,000. For consumers, it is valuable to note that those who avoided being scammed had refused to give deposits in advance, insisted upon speaking on the phone, and had paid cash upon delivery of goods.

The following key indicators can help you to identify a potential scam across online selling platforms: • Typically, sellers will only communicate through text messaging and avoid phone conversations.

Sellers can be located anywhere in the world and will get the attention of • buyers by having a specific or specialized knowledge of hay products.

• Pricing will be attractively low and will be consistent with the previous year’s market price.

• Often, there will be an insistence of a 50% deposit but once the deposit is received, there may be excuses about delayed delivery and then communication stops.

If you, or anyone you know, suspect a scam or have been a victim of fraud, report it to your local police and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

For Sale By Tender COUNTY OF MINBURN NO. 27

The County of Minburn is offering for sale the following items: 2009 Ford F-350 4x4 Crew Cab Long Box Truck • Automatic Transmission • V10 Gasoline Engine • Color: White • 308,829km

If you see your bus driver, make a point this School Bus Safety Week to say thank you for the wonderful job they do.

Trying to keep their eyes on the road, while making sure students are wearing masks, sitting in their seats and that the bus and students are sanitized is no easy task. We are lucky that we have such dedicated bus drivers as there are driver shortages across the province where some families don't have a school bus to get their children to school.

Help bus drivers keep our students safe, DO NOT PASS a school bus from either direction when the RED LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. Amber lights are a warning to motorists following or approaching a bus that they are slowing down to make a passenger stop. Passing a school bus puts children at risk.

Together we can continue to make the school bus the safest means of student transportation.

Vegreville is ideally positioned as an agri-food based manufacturing facility and processing centre and options for future development with Prosperity Industrial Park. The 75th Street Business Park is well suited for light industrial development, and has fully serviced fibre connected lots up for sale.

One other very attractive feature Vegreville has is connectivity because it’s equipped with broadband internet with Telus which boasts 100 percent fibre optic connection. Bezpalko said Telus 5G is coming to Vegreville, and hopefully by 2024, according to a company official.

He pointed out that the regional airport is an underused facility. The airport is owned by the town and has been identified as an excellent location for a fixedwing flight school, helicopter training school, base for unmanned aerial vehicles as well as applied research and commercialization.

If you have a claim against this estate, you must file your claim by December 2, 2021 and provide details of your claim

October 18 - 24, 2021

Just like it is the bus driver's responsibility to safely transport the children to and from school, it is the parent or guardian's responsibility to make sure their children get safely to and from the bus stop, wear their mask and don't go to school if they are sick.

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I always knew bachelorhood could only last so long, but when I fell in love, boy did things move fast. In one year, we were married, bought a house and now we have a baby on the way. Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited. I even made the leap and bought an old minivan figuring it will fit everything I need. Now with the baby due soon, I've been trying to install the car seat. Who knew you need to be a rocket scientist to do it?

Despite the fact that the instructions are in English, they are impossible to understand. The car seat instructions say to see the car manual for proper installation. The car manual says to see the car seat manual. Is this a joke? I thought this was a tenminute job. My friends are no help. They don't have any kids.

How does a soon-to-be dad properly install a car seat?

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 10/17/21 © The Classified Guys®

and automobile manufacturers, creating a standard installation is difficult. Since 2002, new cars are required to have the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system now available on car seats in an effort to make installation a little easier. The system bypasses the use of the vehicle's seat belt. However, that doesn't help if you have an older car.

Cash: Even though you don't have friends to tap for knowledge, help is still available nearby. Your local police station can be a great place to begin. They often perform safety installation checks on car seats at no cost.

Carry: Additionally, AAA has programs to assist with child safety. You can check with your local

Carry: With so many car seat

branch to find out when and where their next safety check is being held.

Cash: As yet another option, check with you local auto dealer.

They may be able to help with the installation or have more detailed information about your specific vehicle model.

Carry: For a soon-to-be dad, you're already making good decisions. Since it's estimated that more than half of all car seats are installed incorrectly, getting assistance is a great idea.

Cash: You can only hope that when you have to assemble the first bicycle, help is as readily available. Although maybe by that point, your child will be old enough to help!

Fast Facts Mr. Mom

Reader Humor Out to Lunch

Having a baby can make major changes to any household. For some, this includes deciding who will stay at home with the baby.

Since 1989 the number of stay at home Dads has almost doubled to 2 million (according to the PEW research Center). There are many reasons for this. Roughly 23% stay home due to the economy and inability to find work. About 20% do so because they just want to care for and raise their children. The balance stays home due to illness, disability, retirement, school, etc.

Now the question is, “Why don’t we see more Dads at the PTA Meetings?”

My friend Janet and I hold birthing classes for expecting parents on the weekends. In addition to covering what to anticipate during the birth process, we also go over how to care for the newborn baby at home.

After lunch at our last class, Janet was showing everyone how to properly swaddle a baby using a practice doll. One couple just couldn't seem to get the hang of it, so Janet continued to show them repeatedly. Finally it dawned on them.

"Oh I get it," the soon-to-be father said. "It's just like making a turkey wrap for lunch."

"Kind of," Janet replied jokingly. "Just make sure to hold the mayo!"

Road Trip Traveling with children can sometimes be difficult, and it can be much worse when someone suffers from motion sickness. This temporary illness is the result of a conflict in the brain between the eyes and the inner ear. The inner ear detects motion, but the eyes focused inside the car do not. The result is nausea.

If you suffer from motion sickness, try focusing on distant objects while traveling. Opening the window for fresh air or making frequent stops can also help, although nothing feels as good as reaching your final destination.

Rough road - CONTINUED from PAGE 6 provide about 80 per cent of the world’s energy supply.

And led by Asian economic development, global energy demand is expected to grow by about 50 per cent through 2050. Even with a significantly increased role for renewables like solar and wind, it’s estimated that the world will still rely on fossil fuels for something in the neighbourhood of 70 per cent of its mid-century energy supply.

Of course, improvements in efficiency and switches in fuel sources can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For example, U.S. emissions fell 16 per cent between 2005 and 2018, largely due to substituting natural gas for coal. But natural gas is still a fossil fuel.

And besides, every 10 per cent reduction in developed world emissions is offset within four years by new emissions from economic growth in the developing world.

None of this means that pursuing renewables and reducing carbon is a bad idea. In the meantime, though, we’d better take very good care of our current energy infrastructure – pipeline construction being an example. Otherwise, catastrophe beckons.

Koonin relates an occasion where he asked an affluent American audience about the implications of eliminating their carbon footprint. What he got from them was an expectation that some vague mix of “technology” and “policies” would facilitate the evolution of a relatively painless carbon-free existence for their children and grandchildren.

Bottom line: much of the popular acquiescence for carbon-free is still at the virtue-signalling stage. The adult conversation about trade-offs, implications and dependencies hasn’t kicked in yet. When it does, the situation might get much more disputatious.

If aspirations and reality collide, always bet on reality.

Troy Media columnist Pat Murphy casts a history buff’s eye at the goings-on in our world. Never cynical – well, perhaps a little bit.

Two Hills & Area FCSS Exploring Possibility of Rural Transit Service Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Two Hills & Area Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) is exploring the possibility of offering rural transit service to its residents.

FCSS Board Chair Dave Albrecht discussed the option with members of Two Hills County council at its Sept.

22 meeting.

Albrecht has already met with the Town of Two Hills and Village of Myrnam municipal councils and wanted to share the same information with its rural counterparts.

Albrecht explained that the town has a small van that it is willing to sell to FCSS, but they are also looking into purchasing a larger van to accommodate more residents as well as looking into outfitting it with a hydraulic swing chair or wheelchair lift for persons with limited physical abilities depending on the need.

The primary focus of the service would be to assist people who need help getting to and from medical appointments. However, it could also be loaned it out to other local organizations when it wasn’t being utilized for that purpose.

He went on to say that they would charge fee to clients to help offset the costs of operating the service. As well, they would have to develop an operating schedule and hire a part-time driver unless they were able to get volunteers to do that. He did point out that they do have one

staff member with a Class 4 operators license and another one who is interested in doing the same.

Reeve Don Gulayec said insurance and liability would be required by volunteers.

Councilor Soren Odegard said they would have to take into account depreciation of the vehicle and have funds set aside in a reserve fund for repairs and replacement. He asked if they had considered having a regular route rather than a request system, and Albrecht said that was a good idea, especially if they were going to travel to larger centres.

Coun. Odegard asked if they had considered leasing a vehicle and if they did they would have the vehicle under warranty. “Maybe its something to consider.” He also suggested they get an outlay of costs and see if a lease would have any affect on applying for government funding.

Reeve Gulayec told Albrecht that the “overall concept is great” and that there a few gray areas they would have to get details on. He added that having a rural transportation service would definitely help rural seniors living in the County of Two Hills.

Councilor Dianne Saskiw, who sits as the county’s representative on the FCSS board, said this was something that has long been needed and could be easily implemented. She agreed they should look into leasing a vehicle.

Coun. Saskiw said they hear about the need for rural

Ecological Project in Two Hills Comes to Fruition

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Grade 4 and Grade 7 students from Two Hills School spent the morning of Oct. 1 in Geleta Park planting wildflowers and learning about the importance and purpose of eco buffers.

Town of Two Hills Councillor Willie Babiuk, who participated in the project, expressed his gratitude to the children from the Two Hills School for all their hard work and the students at New Myrnam School for creating and constructing the sign as well as Agroforestry and Woodlot Extension Society (AWES) & the Vermilion River Watershed Alliance (VRWA) for all they’ve contributed to make this project a reality.

Babiuk, who sits as a VRWA board member, said the event was “very successful” and was very happy with the results. Back in the spring of 2021, Babiuk said they replaced some shrubs and planted a patch of wildflowers.

In the spring of 2020 VRWA and AWES planted over 400 native shrubs in a 3 row Eco buffer site including flowering/fruiting species. I oversaw the project representing the Town of Two Hills as a

transportation everywhere they go and she was glad they were finally able to make some headway on this issue.

She also thanked Albrecht for all of the work that’s been done in this regard and said it would definitely change the number of seniors who would be able to stay in their home communities as opposed to having to move to larger urban centres.

“It could be the county’s contribution to affordable housing,” said Coun. Odegard.

FCSS is asking for the county to contribute $18,000 to offset operational costs of the service. It had previously requested $10,000 from the Town of Two Hills and $2,000 from the Village of Myrnam based on the population of each of those communities.

Albrecht said FCSS does not qualify for any funding to operate this service and that’s why it is critical for the local municipalities to support their efforts.

Reeve Gulayec said they would think it over the request and get back to him with a response.

FCSS has applied for federal government funding under the Rural Transit Solutions Fund to conduct a needs assessment. After that, Albrecht said they can apply for another grant under the same program to help cover some of the capital costs associated with the purchase of the larger van.

Patricia Swahn (Chrapko) October 29 1957 – October 22 2011 10 years without you We thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.

We think of you in silence, and often speak your name.

All we have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake from which we will never part.

God has you in his arms.

We have you in our hearts.

May the winds of heaven blow softly And whisper in your ear How much we love and miss you And wish that you were here.

Lots of love Brian (husband) Erika and Avery (daughter, grand-daughter), family and friends

MEMORIAM

BIENVENUE, Annette November 26, 1928 - October 19,2017 In memory of our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Great Great Grandmother God knew that she was suffering That the hills were hard to climb, So He closed her weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.”

Away in the beautiful hills of God, By the valley of rest so fair, Someday, we know not when, We will meet our loved one there.

Forever Loved Sadly missed Your Loving Family

KOLISNIAK, Clarence 1960-2010 In loving memory of a dear son, brother, Husband, father, grandfather.

A beautiful life came to a sudden end, He died as he lived, everyone’s friend.

He was always thoughtful, loving and kind, What a precious memory he left behind.

He left us suddenly his thoughts unknown But he left us memories we are proud to own.

His charming ways and smiling face Are a pleasure to recall, He had a kindly word for each And died beloved of all.

In your short life, you touched so many, And each of us who knew you is Grateful for every minute we had.

You taught us to laugh louder, Love more, work hard, play harder, Run faster, jump higher, And to never stop reaching for our dreams You live in all of us as we strive To be half the person you were.

You are: forever loved, never forgotten.

To have, to hold, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of our heart.

Forever Loved Sadly Missed Your Loving Family

councillor committee member. The site was along the Vermilion River in Geleta Park. The town public works staff prepared the 3 row site.

Two Hills School Principal Collin Kupchenko stated that, “We sent our Grade 4 and 7 classes to the eco buffer project as it fit really well into their science curriculum, which includes trees and forests, plants for food and fibre and pollination as well as watershed topics.

It was so great for the kids to see firsthand how the concepts they are learning in class apply in the local environment. The students were engaged by the presentation and planting and excited to be involved in a project that they can watch grow for years to come!”

Kupchenko gave a big shout out to VRWA, NSWA and local leaders for reaching out to include our students in such a wonderful project.

Michelle Gordy, Watershed Planning Coordinator with VRWA, said this was the last planting event for the Eco Buffer, which is like a mini-forest composed of a variety of native trees, bushes, and wildflowers.

Gordy said, “Eco Buffers serve many important functions, like forests do, for instance, soil conservation, water quality protection, and providing habitat space for pollinators and other wildlife. The purpose of this Eco Buffer demonstration site is to provide an example for the surrounding community to learn from, so they can do something similar on their own land.

It will take many years for the Eco Buffer to grow into a forest, so it’s great that we got some kids involved because they’ll be able to go back to this site years later and see the fruits of their labor.”

Local artist George Leonty refurbishes roadside attraction.

(Brenda Homeniuk/ Submitted Photo)

Brenda Homeniuk Submitted In 2001, Willingdon’s Village Council commissioned George Leonty (retired teacher and local artist) to paint a large sign with images commemorating the history of the Willingdon area.

In 2003, at the 75th Anniversary of the Village of Willingdon, an official opening of the tourist park

including the sign was held.

After 20 years, the weather has taken its toll on the sign. George has spent several days of volunteer work stripping the weathered paint and refurbishing with fresh paint.

As a member of our small rural community, I wanted to acknowledge and recognize George for all of his efforts to upkeep this roadside attraction.

With the addition of the Northeast Loop (1.3 km), Phase 1 of the Southwest Nature Loop (1.6 km) and Foxview Park Trail (500 m), nearly 3.5 kilometers of path were added to the pre-existing walking trail system in 2021.

“Throughout the pandemic we’ve seen increased use in Vegreville’s outdoor activity amenities, specifically our walking trails and these additions will help ensure that even as life slowly returns to normal, our residents and visitors can continue to explore the beauty of this community. We’ve already heard positive feedback from walkers, joggers and cyclists in our community, including those who say that the walking path additions have given them an excuse to venture into areas of Vegreville they otherwise may not have visited. They feel like tourists without having to actually leave town,” stated Mayor Tim MacPhee.

More work is scheduled for Vegreville’s walking trail system in 2022, including starting on Phase 2 and 3 of the Southwest Nature Loop which, when complete, will see an additional 2.2 kilometers added for a total of 4 kilometers. Additionally, a Northwest Nature Loop, that would see an additional 5 kilometers of nature trail tied in from Foxview Park, is in the planning stages.

At present, Vegreville boasts a total of 14 kilometers of designated paved and unpaved walking trails.

The new 5,300 square foot building is currently

under construction and will house three separate units. Rattray will be operating her women’s clothing store in one unit while her sister Bobbi-Jo Sebree will be leasing the space in another unit for her bakery. The other unit will be leased out, and Rattray said she’s already had some interest to date.

Rattray said she will be featuring popular clothing lines Dex, Gentle Fawn, Sanctuary and Z-Supply. Currently, Vegreville does not have a clothing store like this or a bakery, and she feels both will be welcome additions to the community.

Having been born and raised in the area and schooled in Vegreville, Rattray said they are very excited to be able to offer these products and services to local residents.

Vantage Builders was contracted to construct the facility. Work began in mid-August and the project is expected to be completed by mid-December.

scenes, the kids; what’s really important is that we’re filming seven segments based on interesting and fascinating Mountie history.

That’s the big crux for my story; and that’s my program, called the History Wrangler Show is based on. These two minute segments, all different themes, that comprise music, wonderful hosts, filmed in locations all across Alberta.

That’s what makes up the Chase scene with Charolette and Finnley Lambert. show.

(Michelle Pinon/Photo) When thinking about filming we thought do we film in Ft. Saskatchewan or find a runway or race track and then it occurred me, the Town of Vegreville. It’s interesting to film here.” Lennard said the opportunity allowed him to showcase the wonderful pysanka and showcase the history of the Mounties. “Also, I learned from Staff Sgt. Terry Hyggen that in fact the detachment here started back in 1902. So, there’s a rich, rich history of the Mounties here in Vegreville.

He’s very excited that he will not only tell the story to Albertans, but Canadians coast to coast. He plans to have the show eventually translated into five different languages seen around the world. So, this was a great opportunity to showcase Mountie history and the great symbol of Vegreville all around Canada and elsewhere.

The segment f il med in Vegreville is expected to air in July of 2022.
