Michael Simpson Editor Vegreville resident (and co-nominee for Home Based Business of the Year ‌just sayin’) Brenda Spencer of Chef Hog’s Concession kept her word and organized a “Break the Food Bankâ€? event where a small army of 40-50 volunteers came out to help canvass the entire town for Food Bank donations.

In total, Spencer and her group man-

aged to cover about half of the town and fill half of an 18 foot trailer. “We had a few less volunteers than we expected, but we still made great time,�

Spencer said. “It was a treat to watch some parents who’d come out with their kids treating this like a family outing.

We had a mother with her two boys using this as a chance to explain about giving back to the community, and all our volunteers said that the door-to-

door experiences were very friendly.�

Spencer and her crew piled up approximately 216 cubic feet of foot and $245 in cash for the food bank in Vegreville.

They were supplemented by an extra donation from the staff at the Vegreville Carillion Shop and students from St. Martin’s School, who had also done some internal food-raising of their own.

Submitted The records we have go back to 1988.

That is 27 years ago, but there is evidence that the Vegreville Ministerial Association extends further back than this. While the faces of its members have changed over the years, the baton is passed down year after year and the association remains strong.

We are a voluntary association of clergy made up of priests and pastors from

eleven different churches in Vegreville and area as well as the chaplain from St. Joseph’s General Hospital. Our common ground is the Apostles’ Creed and a love for Vegreville. We gather together monthly to pray for our community, our churches and each other. The meetings allow time to network and share information with one another and other community groups as needs or interests arise.

We endeavour to coordinate and support

various community events throughout the year. The most obvious event is our annual Mayor and Reeve Prayer Breakfast held in mid-June at Rendezvous Park.

Another project we have been working on is The Gospel Signs for the highways.

We are looking for land owners who are willing to allow a small portion of land to be used for the purpose of displaying these signs which will measure 5 x 10 feet. The wording on the signs will be: Jesus said “I am the way, the Truth, and the Life�. John 14:6 If you have property along Hwy 16 east of Vegreville to junction 36 or west on Hwy 16 to Mundare junction and are interested in participating in this project, please call the Vegreville Ministerial Association at 780-632-2261 or 780-6324166 to get more information.

FROM THE PAGES OF THE VEGREVILLE OBSERVER

COMPILED BY DAN BEAUDETTE

90 Years Ago, October 28, 1925 The Pearson report upon the local power plant reached the town clerk yesterday and will be considered by Council at an early meeting. Mr. Pearson, the official engineer of the Board of Public Utilities, recently made an inspection of Vegreville’s plant. Unlike many official documents, the report is not voluminous covering little over one page. It estimates that the plant is over-loaded and recommends that no power be sold, but the plant used for lighting purposes only. Several repairs and improvements are called for, such as fixing the dynamos, re-grinding of the cylinder valves of the engines, etc.

Vegreville General Hospital is accorded a place on the College of Physicians and Surgeons’ list of Canadian hospitals that meet their standardization requirements and have passed the 1925 inspection tests. Although 90 percent of the city hospitals of over 100 beds passed inspection but 60 per cent of the 40 bed hospitals are approved. This hospital is the only one of the 35 to 50 bed class approved in the Alberta list just issued.

Commencing Monday bread prices will be reduced, and bread, wrapped in wax paper, sold at Wener’s Bakery 3 loaves for 25c.

75 Years Ago – October 30, 1940 W.R. McGowan, whose farm is north and east of town on Section 28-52-14, has no reason to complain over his crop yields this year.

He threshed 305 acres of wheat which, by machine measure, gave him 10,248 bushels or an average of about 32.5 bushels per acre.

The area included 40 acres of wheat on breaking and this threshed out at 50 per acre, and thus boosted the general average. 40 acres of oats sown on June 15th, ripened and yielded 40 bushels per acre, while oats sown in May ran to 70 per acre.

Canada’s soldier dead will be honoured by the nation on Remembrance Day, November 11, as a result of a decision by the Secretary of State to proclaim the day a legal holiday as usual.

At a recent meeting of the United congregations of Lavoy, Ranfurly and Innisfree a unanimous invitation was extended to Rev. Robert G. Wood to become their Minister. This pastoral charge has been vacant since the early summer when Rev. J. P. Henderson accepted a call to Ontario.

50 Years Ago – October 28, 1965 The largest class of graduate nurses in the history of St. Joseph’s General Hospital School of Nursing was honoured at the weekend as they marked the end of three years’ intensive training to become registered nurses. The graduates included Miss Diana Scraba of Elk Point; Miss Shirley Hinton, Mannville; Miss Eva Bushey, Prince Albert; Mrs. John Pan (Madeline Redcrow) St. Paul; Miss Marian Iverson, Ardmore; Miss Gail Malcolm, Alliance; Miss Sharon McGinnis, Winterburn; Mrs. Ross Anderson (Elizabeth Hanzel) Fairview; Miss Rita Fulkerth, Innisfree; Miss Phyllis Semeniuk, Myrnam; Miss Vivian Horon, Vegreville; Miss Rosalee Bergsten, Innisfree; Miss Kathleen O’Neil, Rusylvia; Miss Virginia Hansen, Sunnynook; and Miss Patricia Kruchten of Heisler.

Word was received by Dr. Francis Schulte, president of the Vegreville Jaycees, that the Vegreville Jaycee AirPark had qualified for a license from the Department of Transportation. The airstrip receive license No. 1366 and will be listed in Canada Air Pilot and aeronautical charts very soon.

Miss Virginia Eliuk of Vegreville was awarded the Queen Elizabeth prize of $50 for her work in Art 1 at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary.

The citizens of Vegreville are reminded that the local school children are collecting “Pennies for UNICEF” again this year.

25 Years Ago – October 23, 1990 St. Martin’s boys volleyball team took the gold medal in the annual Killam Kougar Klassic volleyball tournament last week. This being the first tournament of the year, the girls lost one game during the preliminary rounds but could not maintain their strong attack, losing to Forestburg in the final and placed second. The boys went undefeated in the preliminary action and tool out a tired Strome squad in straight sets. The winning team consisted of Kris Lydom, Darren Bilyk, Darren Wright, David Rutherford, Tim Goodwin, Jason Fjeldheim, co-captain Noel Hynek, captain Robert Rudyk, co-captain Willian Hergot and Paul Ziprick. The assistant coach was Grant Steil.

Environment Canada awarded a 10 year service certificate to Carol Mock of Ranfurly on October 18, noting her volunteer contribution to weather watching in Canada. Mock has been observing and recording the rain and snow fall, and temperature in the area since 1980, “twice a day for 365 days a year.” Once a month she submits a report to the federal government department. “I’m also available if someone like Agriculture Canada wants to know the results,” said Mock.

Canadian Election Gwynne Dyer There’s an old joke that goes: Why did the Canadian cross the road? Answer: to get to the middle of the road. Likewise (so they say) if you cut the average Canadian open you would find two words engraved on his or her heart. One would be “moderate”. The other would be “nice”.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who was four months short of ten years in office when he was swept out of power in Monday’s election, was a moderate right-wing politician, although he pretended to be a hard right one. Six of his ten budgets were in deficit, and he ended up adding $150 billion to Canada’s national debt. Even when faced with a global recession, that’s not what hard-right politicians do.

Similarly, the New Democratic Party (NDP) is a very moderate left-wing party by anybody’s standards (except those of Americans) – and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have always believed that they owned the middle of the road.

The 78-day election campaign, which was a tight three-horse race until the last couple of weeks, was not about ideology at all. It was about political style.

Stephen Harper didn’t do “nice”.

His default setting was “nasty”, and he positively reveled in it. He was a control freak who instinctively tried to hurt and smear those who disagreed with him, and in his government even the time of day was a state secret. His attack ads against rival politicians were vicious, he was visibly contemptuous of journalists and the opposition parties, and he almost took pride in being disliked.

In fact, Harper once joked that he couldn’t even get his friends to like him, but that was only a half-truth.

He had no real friends in Canadian politics, even in his own Conservative Party. Yet he stayed at the top of national politics for almost a decade because he actually ran a reasonably effective government that shielded Canadians from the worst effects of the post-2008 recession. His manner was unpleasant, but he was no radical.

Harper never even won 40 percent of the popular vote, but that wasn’t necessary in a three-party system where no party ever achieves that holy grail of politics.

Even in the midst of the current pro-

Liberal “landslide” – 186 seats out of 338 seats in parliament – the Liberal Party won only 39.5 per cent of the popular vote.

What finally defeated Harper was the fact that enough Canadians had grown sick of the nastiness that they were willing to vote for whichever party had the best chance of beating him. At the beginning of the election campaign that looked likely to be the NDP, but undecided voters whose only objective was getting rid of Harper swung behind the Liberals because they looked better placed to do the job.

In the end Trudeau won just by being sunny, positive and nice. He talked a great deal about “change”, because that was what the antiHarper voters wanted to hear, but he didn’t go into much detail.

Trudeau promised a few flagship policy changes to get people’s attention – pulling Canadian warplanes out of Iraq and Syria, slightly higher taxes for the rich and slightly lower taxes for the middle class, maybe legalising marijuana – but his core social and economic policies aren’t going to be radically different from Harper’s.

They can’t be, because otherwise he’d have to leave the middle of the road.

He will, however, be much nicer than Stephen Harper.

Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

When you’re an adult and your parents divorce Karin Hitchcock Divorce is always difficult. When your parents decide to divorce, it doesn’t matter if you are a child, a teen or an adult. In fact, some experts suggest that dealing with divorce as an adult child can be the most difficult. Sometimes termed the “gray divorce,” or “silver splitters,” more people over 50 are choosing to end their marriages and move forward without their long term

spouse. There are a variety of reasons for older couples to divorce which include, early retirement, chronic unhappiness or abuse, coping with an empty nest, a decrease in the social stigma of divorce and an increase in the partner’s needs in the relationship. Let’s face it, people are living a lot longer. No one wants to wait around for their partner to die so they can be independent and happy.

What impact does a divorce have on adult children? It creates a number of challenges, including knowing that your parents may have just stayed together “for the sake of the children.” This can create a great deal of guilt as well as a significant role reversal in the parent-child relationship. Adult children may find themselves having to support their parents financially, emotionally,

or physically. Adult children often find themselves in a mediator role between the parents. The rules for dealing with divorce when children are young just don’t apply to adult children. Adult children often begin to question their own marriages and relationships. It’s as if the entire foundation of Karin Hitchcock, M. C., CCC the relationship has Community Counsellor been a sham. Loss of the family home, meeting new partners, and awkwardly navigating around family functions can place a great deal of stress of adult children. And other people just don’t get it! Others don’t always understand that having older parents chose to divorce can create a great deal of angst.

How do you cope with your parent’s divorce when you are an adult? Keep the lines of communication open and be honest with your parents about how difficult this situation can be for you and your own family. As with all children, you really don’t want to hear about their dating and sex

lives. Resist playing the reverse parent role and becoming the mediator or friend. Try very hard to not pick sides. If things get ugly and difficult, encourage your parents to attend mediation. If the couple is having to deal with difficult issues such as infidelity, abuse, or money mismanagement, and you are getting sucked into an ugly battle, seek support for yourself from a counsellor or therapist. You may need some guidance in creating healthy boundaries. Also remember that you are an adult, so if you want to continue a relationship with family members, you are free to make your own decisions. You choose who remains in your life.

When parents choose to divorce in their later years, adult children can feel immense pain. A complete shift in the way the family has functioned will emerge. There may have to be some changes in how the family navigates get-togethers, holidays, or access to grandchildren. It’s important that adult children communicate openly and honestly with their parents and recognize that this can be a very difficult time for all involved.

Karin Hitchcock, M. C., is currently the Community Counsellor at FCSS in Vegreville. She is a member of the Canadian Counseling and Psychotherapy Association.

www. NewsAdvertiser.com Michael Simpson Editor It was a split weekend for the Vegreville Jr. B Rangers after a Friday night win was evened out by a Saturday night loss. The Oct. 23 matchup against Saddle Lake was a near no-contest with a 6-2 win over the Warriors, though the Rangers were unlucky with their power play chances coming up with nothing in five opportunities. It was no matter in the end however, as the team stayed mostly clear of the penalty box all night and kept the pressure on for the entire game with goals in all

three periods.

The following night in St. Paul, the Vegreville’s fortunes were reversed as they found themselves on the receiving end of a loss as the Canadiens took the 6-3 win. “We had the chances in the game against St. Paul but in that game we weren’t burying our chances. We’re hitting the goal post, or the goalie in the chest. We should be burying these things and so players will have to clamp down and do a better job of focusing when they’re in tight. I can’t complain about that penalty kill, the guys are doing really well with that.

You aren’t gonna stop them all, but we’re 80-85 per cent. We’ve really got to get our power plays to step up. Our guys like Mungongo, Soprovich, Murhpy, those players we have with elite skill, we’ll need them to step up and bury those shots,” Rangers Head Coach Randy Rooke said.

october 28, 2015 Rooke also said the hot and cold stats were also a reflection of the officiating, which he felt were polar opposites. “Friday night was a good game, one of the best refereed games I’ve seen – he let us play hockey. It was a lot closer than the score indicated but we came out hard and capitalized on our chances.

We had some players step up like Dylan McGee against Saddle Lake, showing why he’s a defenseman we can rely on night after night. We go to St. Paul and that was a whole different ball of wax. I have never in my life seen a situation where we’ve accumulated more penalties in one game than we did in the entire 6 games prior,” Rooke said, adding he plans to take his concerns to league officials for review.

The Rangers next home game will be Friday at 8 p.m. against the Onion Lake Border Chiefs.

So far in the standings, the Chiefs are edging out the Rangers by two points.

He has also arranged financing when we bought into a local business. He made the deal possible for us, where other institutions did not.

It is nice to deal with an experienced manager who understands our operation. Kevin helps you realize all aspects of the endeavour that you are undertaking.

The turn around time is very prompt.

The staff at the Castor Branch are both friendly and helpful.”

Ron Pilger – “As a teenager, I opened a Credit Union account with my very first paycheque. Though I’ve ‘shopped around’ for personal loans, mortgages, rental property loans and foreign funds rates, I’ve always found my Credit Union branch to be competitive or better. The service is beyond compare. For over four decades, I’ve enjoyed thousands of dollars in profit sharing. I highly recommend membership.”

This is the actual amount of profit-share which one of our long-term corporate accounts will receive on November 4!

John Wipf – Viking Colony “Friendly staff who treat us like family.

If I ever need some clarification, some advice, some training on what new gadget is out today, you always help us out. I’ve dealt elsewhere, but the CU tellers are the best around. A lot of the colonies have moved to CUs over the past few years.”

Evelyn Robert – “I want to say it is ALWAYS a pleasurable experience when I come into the Vision Credit Union to do my banking! Anytime I have come in or called, Rose your Branch Supervisor, Trisha your Loans Officer and Tammy your Member Service Representative have always given me exceptional customer service. At all times they all have been very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and very accommodating in providing me whatever assistance I needed!!

At times they all have gone ‘over and above.’ In addition, they make the effort to take the time to ask how things are and that is such a nice ‘touch’ and is sooo appreciated!”

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, When it comes to buying a home, I think there are always more questions than answers.

My husband and I found a cute colonial that we just fell in love with. It had all of the amenities we wanted including a wellmaintained yard. We found the home advertised in a classified ad and were the first to respond.

The owners are a middle-aged couple who lived in the house for over 20 years. They raised their daughter there until she went off to college last year. The couple was forthcoming about the pros and cons of the house and very easy to negotiate with.

We came to an agreement rather quickly. That has me wondering.

Since we are buying directly from the owners and developed a friendly relationship, do you think my husband and I need to buy title insurance? If they've lived in the house for 20 years without issue, what could go wrong?

• • •

Carry: That's probably a ques-

tion best answered with Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will." Murphy may not have been in real estate, but the rule of thumb probably still applies.

Cash: There are a lot of details

Duane “Cash” Holze & Todd “Carry” Holze 08/23/15 ©The Classified Guys®

when buying or selling real estate, and as you mentioned, they can raise a lot of questions. Each detail should be handled carefully to make the sale a safe transaction for both parties. And since buying a home is typically the largest investment you'll make in a lifetime, it pays to protect yourself.

Carry: You've already done much of the hard work in finding a house that you love. However, don't let your admiration for the home or the owners alter your judgment when dealing with the paperwork.

Cash: The purpose of title insurance is to cover a broad range of issues that can arise after you purchase a home or property. It's often used to protect you against

previous mortgages, unknown owners, judgments against the property and a host of other issues that may not be known by you or the current owners.

Carry: While you may be looking to save the cost, realize that doing so could leave you unprotected in the future. If you plan on getting a loan from a bank or mortgage company, they may require you to get title insurance before the purchase.

Cash: By dealing with the owners directly, you've collected some great information about the house, property and neighborhood. So hopefully the sale will go as smoothly as your meeting with the owners and you’ll prove Murphy wrong!

Title insurance on your home can be important if you ever have a problem, but how often is it really used? Compared to other types of insurance, the number of claims are small. On average auto and home insurance companies use about 70 percent of their premiums to pay customer claims. In contrast title insurance companies use only about 5 percent of premiums to pay claims.

The captain at our firehouse is always on top of things. We responded to a call for a fire that started with a barbeque and quickly spread to the entire deck.

As the guys and I put out the flames, a crowd gathered.

When we were done, our captain came forward to investigate.

Looking at the crowd, he approached one man in particular. "Sir," he said, "I'm guessing you're the owner of this home and probably the one responsible for the fire."

Seeming rather amazed, the owner asked my captain how he knew.

"I have had years of extensive training," he boasted. "And besides," he added looking at the man's outfit, "you're the only one wearing an apron that says, 'Kiss the Cook'!"

(Thanks to Darren H.)

This Old House If you've traveled to Europe, you know that homes dating back hundreds of years can be quite common. On the contrary, homes found in the United States are relatively young in comparison, with the exception of one house located in St. Augustine, Florida. This home, which resides on Francis Street, dates back to 1562 when immigrants began it’s construction. The walls were made with a stone-like material called "coquina" which is produced from the remnants of seashells. The house still stands today, more than 400 years later. The Spanish owned the home until 1821, when the territory of Florida officially became part of the United States.

Ed Gibbons Chair, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association Alberta’s current royalty review has come at a challenging time, with low oil and gas prices dragging down our economy and creating uncertainty for many Albertans. Once again, we face the cyclical nature of our energy industry. It is not the first time we have seen this and it definitely will not be the last.

The difficult question before the Royalty Review Panel is how to “optimize” the value of Alberta’s natural resources in such a way that benefits all Albertans. This requires a delicate balance of preserving government revenues and maintaining an economic climate for continued investment into the province.

The new royalty framework would enable diversification of Alberta’s economy by stimulating new investment in downstream value added developments. While some critics scoff at the aspect of “diversification” through adding value to our natural resources, there are real benefits that Alberta would realize from this approach. It is vital that we create a royalty framework that encourages diversification as this will lead to an economy that is not reliant on any one segment of the energy sector, which will create an increasingly stable economic environment. Historically, Alberta has been far too reliant on its upstream operations.

Conservative estimates on the potential of value added investment in downstream petrochemical operations is that it would create 25,000 new jobs for our struggling construction industry as well as 8,750 full time operating careers. New operations would also pay their share of corporate income taxes which results in millions of dollars of new govern-

ment revenue that is not tied to the ups and downs of oil and gas pricing.

Adding value to natural resources here in Alberta will also help solve a fundamental problem of how we move our resources to world markets. The upstream energy sector has been plagued by delays in approvals and decisions for new export pipelines and LNG terminals, and this has substantially downgraded the real value of Alberta’s natural resources. Value added products, such as petrochemicals, are transported in a solid form of plastics or fibers, which utilizes existing rail and port systems.

Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA) submitted an official position, along with key recommendations, to Alberta’s Royalty Review Panel earlier this month.

Our key recommendations are aligned with the government’s diversification mandate for the royalty review process and aims to recognize the benefits of adding value to our natural resources. This concept has been called on by the AIHA to be an underlying principle in guiding the structure of the new royalty framework. You can view our full submission paper at www.industrialheartland.com We have the opportunity with the current royalty review system to go beyond the debates on what is a fair return for our resources and set a new course for Alberta to capitalize on our natural resource advantage that will help us weather the cyclical storms that we have faced and become a true energy “leader” in the world. We encourage all Albertans to get involved, learn more about the opportunities that exist and let your voices be heard by the royalty review panel.

Michael Simpson Editor October 19 marked the ribbon cutting ceremony for a walking trail that citizens have been enjoying all summer long. The 47 Street walking trail was a mere asphalt path until this summer when grant money from the CN “Eco Connexions” program, along with funding from Council and a private donation from Vegreville Glass and Mirror helped provide the funds needed to complete a beautiful landscaping plan designed by local landscape architect Katrina Sanford, owner of Landscape Wise in Vegreville.

Sanford had been requested to provide a plan that used acclimated vegetation, including Green Ash, Freeman Maple trees, Weeping Norway Spruce, and 13 other varieties. “It was a pleasure to be involved in the project, it’s been exciting watching it come to fruition,” Sanford said.

Communities in Bloom Chairperson Ellen Johnstone said that beautifica- Mayor Myron Hayduk (holding scissors) cuts the ribbon on the 47 Street Walking trail on Oct. 19 with Michelle Lucas and Nicole Story of the Parks department, tion along the north side of town has Communities in Bloom Chairperson Ellen Johnstone, CN official Brent Kossey, Fort Saskatchewan – Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood, CiB Judge Berta Briggs, been a long-time dream for her, and Councillor Tim MacPhee,Katrina Sanford of Landscape Wise,and Tony Tymchyshyn,Parks and Fleet Manager for the Town of Vegreville.(Michael Simpson/Photo) was pleased with the committee and the Town of Vegreville for seeing the project through to completion. The Vegreville Communities in Bloom committee in Vegreville put in a large effort to craft the walking trail upgrade in time for judging this summer.

Mayor Myron Hayduk and MLA Jessica Littlewood both delivered speeches, with Littlewood making note of the ton of carbon that each tree would reduce every year, helping keep the community green in more ways than one. Brent Kossey, a senior representative from CN also delivered congratulations to the community, along with special guest Berta Briggs, a national communities in bloom judge who had participated in Vegreville’s judging earlier in the summer in which the town received a prestigious five blooms for their green living, sustainable planning and innovative use of facilities like the Lions Community Spray Park.

VVA How toâ&#x20AC;Ś do Weaving Kari Fell VVA There are many types of weaving. All of them refer to the interlacing of threads to create cloth. Two major categories of traditional weaving are decorative artworks and functional pieces.

Almost all weaving requires a loom of some sort. Anything that arranges and holds threads under tension can be used. These lengthwise threads are called the warp. A simple loom can be an arrangement of ropes and small wooden bars that are tied to the weaver himself. This is called a backstrap loom.

A loom can also be a large machine that is automated and used in factories to make bolts of commercial fabric. Most home weavers use something that falls between these two extremes. A table loom or floor loom are most common.

Most are very versatile and are capable of weaving heavy rugs as well as dainty lace.

The threads that run crosswise to the warp are called the weft. Almost anything can be used for warp and weft.

Cotton, wool, silk, hemp, rayon and tencel are common yarns. Rags are often used for rugs and even plastic bags have been used as a weaving material.

Probably the most common type of artistic weaving is tapestry. This consists of a simple over and under of the weft, completely covering the warp. The technique is completely pictoral and any number of colours and design decisions can be made as the weaving progresses. The process can take weeks or months and produces an elaborate, heavy tapestry that is suitable for hanging in a home, office or gallery.

The second category of weaving consists of functional pieces. These can be items for the home such as rugs, blankets, placemats and towels. It also includes apparel such as scarves, shawls and yardage to be sewn into clothing.

This type of weaving can be as simple as plain weave with a regular over/under of warp and weft, or more complex structures with wonderful names such as twill, overshot, summer and winter, and crackle. In these, the yarns create a pattern that can repeat over the length of the cloth.

Tablet weaving is a traditional style of weaving that is over 1000 years old.

Very strong, narrow bands are created using a group of square cards, historically bone, wood or leather, to manipu-

late the threads. The Vikings of Scandinavia created very intricately patterned bands to decorate their clothing.

Finished handwoven cloth can be cut

october 28, 2015

and sewn into clothing, bags and home accessories. It can be a little scary cutting into a beautiful cloth that has been lovingly built thread by thread. But the finished item is a beautiful unique piece that surpasses a manufactured item.

This article mentions just a small fraction of what is possible in hand weaving.

Please drop by the Vegreville Centennial Library to view the Vegreville Visual Artists display on weaving. All the types of weaving mentioned here are represented in the show.

VVA is a group of local artists supporting and promoting the visual arts in Vegreville. All interested artists are encouraged to contact mpvarga@shaw. ca for more information. The featured artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can be viewed at the Centennial Public Library. Check us out on Facebook at Vegreville Visual Artists.

AL Horton kids working to Scare Hunger Michael Simpson Editor This Halloween, some kids may come to your door and say “trick or treat!” while others may say “trick or foodbank donation?”

AL Horton students are members of the We School Association, an international movement that focuses on making a difference locally and globally. On October 31, some kids will be canvassing for donations to the Vegreville Food Bank as they trick or treat. The students are calling it the “We Scare Hunger” ini-

tiative, and they’re happy to be taking part in a movement to support the local food bank because they know it makes a difference right at home where they live.

“We want people at home to be aware of the event,” AL Horton teacher Melanie Semeniuk said. “We would ask for parents to consider putting aside four or five items for any kids from our school who are out on the town collecting donations. If parents get 100 kids trick or treating and hand out a few donations to the food bank as well, that would be phenomenal for the kids to know they’re making a difference.

We’re letting the kids know that if the

house has already donated all their items to the Food Bank that is also ok as well.”

Parents out with their kids may want to plan ahead to be able to carry the extra items as they work the blocks, whether that’s a backpack or shopping bag, or stopping to put the donations in their vehicle every so often. “If a child fills a whole bag each, that’s an amazing accomplishment. Kids will be out with black shopping bags donated by one of our local partners, Baron’s No Frills, and the bags will have an orange “We

Scare Hunger” poster on them so parents recognize who is collecting,” Semeniuk said.

Fellow teacher Chloe Giebelhaus said Vegreville Ford will be transporting the donations to the Food Bank after Halloween in one of their vehicles, but if parents wish to make a donation directly, Vegreville Ford will accept them to be included to the food heading up the street to the local food bank. “We want to work as a community to help stock our food bank and we’re especially grateful for the participation from community leaders like Vegreville Ford and Baron’s No Frills,” Giebelhaus said.

Parents wishing for more information can contact AL Horton at (780) 632 3113.

Spook-tacular ways to practice financial literacy, while having fun Submitted

Halloween isn’t just about dressing up and trick-or-treating – it’s also a great opportunity to learn! Canadians from coast to coast to coast celebrate Financial Literacy Month, which highlights the importance of strong numeracy skills. Strong numeracy skills are important for kids as well as parents, especially when it comes to financial literacy.

That’s why ABC Life Literacy Canada (ABC) offers these tips, tricks and treats for families to improve their numeracy skills this Halloween: Bake a Halloween treat.

Teaching kids how to follow a recipe is great for measurement and math skills. Get the

kids to pick a recipe, read the instructions out loud, and help measure the ingredients while making a treat for the family!

Take a trip to a local pumpkin patch and compare the shapes and sizes of the different pumpkins. Which pumpkin is the most round? The tallest?

How many little pumpkins equal one big pumpkin? Don’t forget to take your favourite pumpkin home to carve into a Jack-O-Lantern!

Make a Halloween costume with material from around the house. Get the kids to write a list of what is needed for the costume and then let them help measure out the fabric. Basic sewing challenges simple math skills like: addition, subtraction, and times tables.

Count pumpkins, ghosts and witches.

Take a walk

around the neighbourhood and count the Halloween items on porches, lawns and store displays. Keep track of them all on a chart and predict which item you will see the most.

Organize Halloween candy in different ways. Sort candy by shape, size, name, or even candy type, and then trade!

This activity helps to reinforce basic math along with association and matching skills (and also slows down the sugar rush)!

ABC encourages families to practice numeracy skills this November. Strong numeracy skills are the foundation for financial literacy.

Taking advantage of every day learning opportunities – even for just 15 minutes – has tre-

mendous benefits for both children and parents. For more info about ways to learn as a family, visit: www.

MoneyMattersCanada.ca and download our “Financial Literacy for the Family” activity booklet.

ABC also increases financial literacy across Canada through Money Matters, a free money management and education savings program for adults, developed with support from TD Bank Group. Want to bring Money Matters to your community? Contact us today.

Quietly Confident Kids We live in a society that emphasizes the importance of extraversion and outgoingness. From a young age, children are encouraged to work together in groups and teams. Parents are pressured to enroll their children in group activities and schedule them for countless play dates (Parents, 2015).

But what if your child is happy to keep to themselves? What if they are content to associate with just a small group of friends? Many parents fear that these somewhat reserved children, often referred to introverts, lack the social competencies to be successful. However, these children are more than capable of flourishing in social situations; they may just require a little extra care (Parents, 2015).

Here are a few tips to help your “quietly confident kid” feel comfortable in social settings: - Introduce your child to new people slowly - Arrive early to social events, so your child can slowly adapt to the situation, or

- Allow your child to stand back and observe social settings for a few minutes until they are ready to enter the group (QuietRev, 2015) - Allow your child to take breaks from social situations - If your child appears fatigued or exhausted from social situations, ensure them that it is okay to take a few minutes for themselves - Help your child find their interests - When introverted children find their passions, it helps them develop confidence and gives them opportunities to socialize with children who have similar interests - Speak with child care professionals about your child’s needs - Talk with your child’s teacher, coach, or childcare professional to help them understand your child’s needs, and give them tips that will help them identify when your child is petering out

Vegreville Food Bank President Olga Jamison and food bank volunteers Sarah Bertram and Edna Rawluk are also pictured.“We’re so grateful to Farm Credit Canada for the donations and the help we’ve received in unloading the food,” Jamison said.

The Vegreville Branch of FCC was proud to load up the 1,422 pounds of food raised by AL Horton School and the 113 pounds and $100 from Vegreville Co-op. FCC’s Drive Away Hunger event is a yearly occurrence, and is the largest employee-led food drive in the country. Each year, Vegreville employees load up trucks or trailers with food in October and deliver it to the food bank to help offset the need for extra food in the community.
