The Crisis Association of Vegreville and Victim Services held its first annual golf tournament on Aug. 26 at Whitetail Crossing in Mundare.
Despite pledging to step down after his mediocre review, Premier Jason Kenney, can’t seem to go quietly into that good night. I’ve never been a fan of any politician weighing in on matter after their “best before” date has passed. After all, if they were that good, wouldn’t they still be in power? Actually, that is not fair. We all know that the electorate is fickle and often easily swayed. Voters are also ultimately in charge and if the UCP is not careful, they will get kicked to the curb once again.
Regularly referred to as a nation within a nation, one cannot argue that Quebec gets special treatment. Now if Alberta, or in thinking bigger, the WEST could make such a deal, can you imagine how different things may look? According to Danielle Smith, since the 1960’s equalization payments have benefitted Quebec to the tune of $600 billion and counting. High energy prices alone have made it possible for Alberta to run a surplus and the feds to actually balance the budget should they choose to. Even so, Quebec has vehemently opposed our energy sector and everything related to it, unless of course there is a propane shortage and they are at risk of freezing in the dark one winter. Much like people who think their food comes from the store, it seems that Quebec thinks their propane comes from the magic propaneAttemptstruck.at compromise have been made by Alberta for decades. What does Alberta have to show for it? Not nearly as much as Quebec.
Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser – Opinion
One has to wonder as I do, if the plan for an “Alberta Sovereignty Act” is nuts as described by Premier Kenney or if it is in fact brilliant and will lead us to more autonomy and self-governance.Intheend,it will not be Jason Kenney who decides. A number of candidates have visited our communities and debates have been held. In the coming weeks it will be up to the UCP membership to decide on their next leader and then Albertans to decide on what the next chapter for Alberta will hold. All Jason Kenney has to worry about is going out to pasture and enjoying his retirement, hopefully in peace and quiet.Tell me what you think. Email me at abletters@newsadvertiser.com
Depending on who you ask, the front runners in the race to lead the UCP party after Kenney’s departure are Danielle Smith, Travis Toews and Brian Jean. The UCP will vote using a preferential ballot where party members may make choices on their first, second, third or even fourth preferred candidate. On its own, this complicates the matter, but that is another topic.
Despite the polls and the favorites, the talk recently has been mostly about the proposed “Alberta Sovereignty Act” coming from the Smith campaign. Despite not yet seeing anything on paper, politicians and pundits alike have been weighing in on the matter. Some have said that it would be law used to strike down any federal law Alberta did not agree with. This is total conjecture not based in fact. Smith has been very clear on the matter.

Regardless of one’s initial reaction, it would be prudent to step back and take a look at the bigger picture. Where else in Canada do we see a jurisdiction that provides them special treatment within the federation of Canada? Well, Quebec of Examplescourse.onecould observe to as pointed out by Mark Milke of the Fraser Institute: $2-billion from Ottawa to Quebec this year for a GST-provincial sales tax harmonization that occurred two decades ago; protection of Quebec’s dairy cartel; ignoring the Quebec government’s discriminatory policies against one of Canada’s two official languages; and winking at Quebecfirst policies on labour and government contracts.
Cockamamie or Brilliant?
In any case, the best thing for his party may be for Kenney to avoid stirring the waters or risk damaging his own party. The ballots have been mailed and he only has to resist the spotlight a few more weeks. However, over the past few weeks, words such as cockamamie and nuts have been used by Kenney seemingly focused on one candidate posed to replace him.

Does Ottawa wish to see protests across Canada that would be much larger than the Trucker Freedom convoy protests? That historic protest provoked the Trudeau government to introduce, then swiftly rescind, the Emergencies Act, caused the Conservatives to ditch their leader, and, much more significantly, ultimately ended the chaotic and damaging Trudeau government lockdown and vax mandate policies. One hopes they listen to producers and the provinces and withdraw this misguided move before things get bad.
Canada has about 650,000 farmers compared to 200,000 truckers.
So far, nothing has dissuaded this climate-obsessed government from its plan.
In late July, Manitoba’s premier and the provincial minister of agriculture sent a joint letter to Ottawa protesting the government’s policy.

It reads: “Already facing skyrocketing energy costs, Manitobans cannot afford even higher grocery prices.

Implements are exhibiting a new John Deere Combine, Model 55. It is powered by a 90 hp Hercules engine and cuts a twelve foot swath. A varying speed cylinder enables this combine to handle all types of grain to the best advantage.
If the feds don’t withdraw this initiative, things will get much worse. Ottawa’s climaterelated policy to cut fertilizer use is the same policy Holland’s government recently introduced, sparking mass protests by farmers across that country.

The Trudeau government must be stopped from sacrificing farmers and average Canadians, already facing record energy and food prices, on the altar of carbon dioxide reductions.
The Trudeau government announced at a recent meeting with other levels of government that it has plans to reduce fertilizer-related carbon dioxide emissions 30 per cent from 2020 levels by 2030. Agricultural producers immediately warned Ottawa this move would cut farmers’ incomes by reducing outputs while pushing up prices at grocery stores.

Meatless Tuesdays and Fridays are now off as a result of an official announcement of the Prices Board in Ottawa. It is thought this action was taken in the face of numerous protests from restaurant owners and tourist bureau officials saying that United States tourists were complaining over the impossibility of obtaining meat in public eating places on these days. The board first introduced meatless days in April, 1943, but these were discontinued in February 1944 when there was a heavy surplus of all meats. Meatless days were again imposed in July, 1945, as a result of heavy meat commitments overseas and were continued up to the present.Walden

Coal was looked upon as a nuisance in Europe as late as 200 years ago. No one thought of burning it, and where the coal scams came to the surface, the hard lumps interfered with cultivation.
The problem is simple – lower CO2 emissions mean reduced fertilizer use, which means less food produced. Farmers across Manitoba and the other Prairie provinces immediately warned the federal government that this policy was wrongheaded and would negatively impact food security.

The clients gave their testimonies. Philip Fraser said it is really good to work at the store. “I assist people when they bring in the donations. I like pricing the items, sorting the donations, and everything I do over here. It keeps me busy. I learned the system they used to sort, price and organize the donations. I enjoy working with my coworkers and the staff.”
VALID Association Executive Director Lana Syms explained, “Those who work at the store are assessed and trained to their own skill level. They have a wide variety of jobs they can perform at the store. Donations have to be brought in, sorted, priced and put out on display. Customer service and working the cash register are jobs for those who have the skillset to handle such tasks. Managing the donations is an incredibly busy environment and there are many tasks which must be performed daily. It truly helps us assess and build skills relative to working in any retail environment as some of our individuals have goals of working in other retail environments. For some, maybe they contribute by cutting up clothing to make rags, which we then sell in bundles. There are a wide variety of task that need daily attention.
Gabriel Perepeletza who works as a store clerk said she likes sorting through the donations, seeing what comes in and talking to the customers.
Employment Preparation Supports focuses on the development of functional work skills as well as social skills while assisting individuals to maximize their potential in the work environment.

Employment Placement and Supports focuses on exploring, achieving and maintaining employment within the community. We know our individuals lead happier, more fulfilled lives when they are engaged in activities which they love. Having a job to go to is very closely linked to self-worth and self-esteem. When our individuals have a job, they feel like they are contributing member of society. A higher level of self-esteem makes our individuals better able to trust their own thinking and judgement and are likely to make better decisions.”
Doug Hopper said he likes working at the store because everyone is so nice and kind. “I learned how to sort and price items, to assist customers when they bring in donations, load the recycling truck, organize items, have good customer service skills, as well as, be a team player.”

Contestant Linda Goodsir said no two batches are ever the same, and her batch of borshch won over all of the judges to claim top prize. Goodsir said she grew up near Delph, which is located in Lamont County. Her ingredients came from her garden and said she entered the competition because she is Ukrainian and her sister competed in the event a few years ago.
The contestant who won over the hearts of judges Natalia Shevchenko, Brad Smoliak and Donovan Workun was eight-year-old Lily Luszczek from Sturgeon County. Lily was accompanied by her Baba Stefania Jarzabek, who resides in Mundare.
The Borshch Cook Off is one of the most heartwarming and enchanting events at the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival. The 2022 contest, which was held on Aug. 28 in Lamont, was no exception as contestants shared personal stories and spoke about some of the ingredients they used in their soups.
Lily instantly gained the appreciation of fans in the crowd and admiration of family members in the audience. Stefania said Lily often comes to visit and has been working alongside her in the kitchen for a couple of years already. “She’s been making pampusky, perogies and bread.”
The mother daughter team of Charlene and Rachael Melenka come from a long line of farmers in the Warwick area and said they love to cook and garden. The other team consisted of sisters Alexia Tychkowsky and Danicka Robillard who shared a special family recipe.

Stefania, who operates her own business which specializes in Ukrainian-Polish fare, was beaming with pride and joy and added, “She, (Lily) puts lots of love into it.”
Perhaps the contestant who was most surprised, however, was Caroline Cherkas from Vegreville who won third place in the competition.

This season was a huge step in the process to get “back to normal” and the VMSA is looking forward to registrations once again returning to normal this winter for the Indoor Season and for the 2023 Outdoor Season.
Very early in our planning meetings with our Lakeland District, it became clear that all Lakeland communities were struggling with the same lower registration numbers. After numerous meetings, discussions, emails and phone calls between the communities, most of the issues were solved with the communities agreeing on combining age categories to accommodate all of the registered players. This ensured that there were enough teams in these age categories for the District to schedule League games and Lakeland Cup playoff tournaments. Some players were even offered the opportunity to transfer to another town that had a team within their age group to play on. From Vegreville, we had 1 Under 19 girl play on the Vermilion team, and we had 3 Under 17 Boys play on a Lakeland District team with players from Bonnyville, Lac La Biche, and Vegreville.Oncethe teams were set, two locations were selected to host the Lakeland Cup Tournament weekends. Cold Lake hosted the Under 15 and Under 19 boys and girls teams on June 16th-18th. Vegreville Minor Soccer hosted the second Lakeland Cup Tournament for Under 13 boys and girls, and Under 17 girls on June 24th-26th.

Last winter, the Vegreville Minor Soccer Association, (VMSA) began preparing for the 2022 Spring Outdoor Season. After nearly two years of the soccer program being shut down due to Covid Restrictions, we were faced with the challenge of providing a complete soccer program for kids of all ages from Under 5 to Under 19. As well, we quickly realized that we would have a new challenge which was a direct result of Covid…..reduced registration numbers.
Registration is now open for the 2022 indoor season that will start in early October. Mini Teams will play locally at the school gym, and Youth Teams will participate in league play in Sherwood Park. Get your kids registered online early to ensure a roster spot for the upcoming Indoor Season.

Be a supportive teammate, on the field and off.”Coach for U17 Girls Team Sheila Stemberger explained, “I think for all athletes not just soccer players as a coach, I always want my players coming into a new season to come in with an open mind and don’t think about the past season as each year is a new year. We have plenty of new things to learn both on the mental and physical skills that soccer and all sports bring. Pick one or two things you want to improve each season and concen-

Registrar and Communication Director Shelley Berry said the most important aspect of soccer for all players is touches on the ball. “Our coaches try to encourage the kids to play as a team, as soccer is all about passing the ball to your teammates as you move down the field. When the children first start playing soccer the focus is on lots of touches with the ball, playing positions come later. So yes, the most important aspect for young soccer players is to have fun out there and get lots of touches on the ball.”
All kids should play a sport because they love it and enjoy doing it in their free time. If it is no longer fun it is hard as a coach to bring the joy back especially as the kids get bigger as there are more expectations and sometimes less fun drills but more skill based. Sports is still my passion and I love sharing it will others,” Stemberger said.
“I would also like to express my gratitude parent and school council for bringing this to our attention at the November, 2021 council meeting, and I hope we can work well with them in future endeavours.”

Epic Road Trip for Lifelong Friends from Vegreville
Celebrating at the end of the ride at Pysanka Park. (Heather Paziuk/Submitted Photo) Start of the original ride. Pictured from L-R: Hobe Horton, Rob Nawrot, Arnie Olyan and Keith Steinbach. (Mrs. Essie Olyan/Submitted Photo)
All of us are either retired or in transition to retirement so work commitments didn’t get in the way. For me personally, this year’s ride finally gave me the chance to finish what I had been unable to do 50 years ago. Doing so gave me immense satisfaction and being able to it with long-time friends made the achievement extra special.
He felt the trip would be a good opportunity to raise money for a charity. “One of our riders is diabetic and suggested we ride for Diabetes Canada and we thought that was a great idea. We set up a website and to date more than $4,000 has been donated by ourselves, our friends and our families.”
In addition to the challenging terrain and difficult weather conditions nearly forced them to stop the ride on day three of their journey. They waited out a bad rain storm, but Horton had to make the very difficult decision to not ride ahead on day four. “I had a bad cold and had been feeling worse every day of the ride
“We also convinced two other classmates, Janice Demco and Heather Paziuk, to accompany us by driving support vehicles. The eight Vegreville folks took all 12 years of schooling in Vegreville and graduated together in 1975,” said Horton.
“The big motivator for me was the fact that it was the 50th anniversary. It also coincided with a high school reunion that was being held the weekend before the ride, so it was easy for all of us to make ourselves available.
I think that it is fair to say that we are fortunate, perhaps even blessed, to all be in sufficiently robust health to have successfully undertaken and completed this odyssey twice in a lifetime – with 50 years between trips!”
Horton stated that, “Back in 1972, 10-speed bikes had just recently begun getting popular among Vegreville kids. The four of us had had our bikes for two years or less. Rob and I often rode to Lavoy and back before school just for something to do.

so I called my dad to come pick me up. The others rode from Fabyan to Vegreville on day four.”
I can’t remember who came up with the idea to do the long ride and we are all a bit surprised that our parents allowed us to attempt it. We didn’t have much money back then so we just took sleeping bags with the expectation of sleeping under the stars at the free provincial campgrounds that existed in the day.”
Horton said it always bothered him that I didn’t finish the ride and that’s why he has always been keen to try it again.

Harrold explained that two miles north and 1 mile east of the Town of Lamont the hamlet of Edna was formed in 1881. In 1900, the post office changed location and it was called Star. “By 1901 they realized they needed a doctor.” Harrold said a call went out to Methodist Church and Dr. Harry Smith came out with his wife Martha Doyle arriving in 1902. She died after child birth and he couldn’t carry on and Dr. Smith asked Dr. Albert Archer if he could come out.

Assistant Coach for Youth Junior Curling Rhonda Hayduk said this program is for young people from six to 19 years of age. “We start by teaching them how to stay safe on the ice and learn how to go up and down. Then we teach them how to sweep and how to deliver a rock and then part way through the season we start having little games against each other and by the end of the year we have a line up and they have a mini bonspiel,” Hayduk said.

In the off season I will focus on the off -range side of my training like the physical and mental aspects. Once the weather starts to improve, I will be back to on range training to prepare myself for the Canadian Nationals being hosted in Toronto next August as well as High Performance Team Trials which are yet to be announced.”
The majority of Alberta teachers are exceptionally dedicated professionals but parents and students deserve to know the rare cases where there have been disciplinary issues. That is why our government has launched the online teacher and teacher leader registry. The new registry will show information about teachers and teacher leaders dating back to 1954, including their name, the type of certificate they hold, whether it is still valid, and the date they received their certification. The registry will also show disciplinary decisions that resulted in a certificate being suspended or cancelled for unprofessional conduct or professional incompetence dating back to 1990.
exactly what we’ve done. Our priorities don’t change with a surplus and we will continue to explore measures to make life more affordable for Albertans, pay down the debt and invest in the Heritage Fund.
Sporting Clays facility provides not only recreational shotgun shooting opportunities but also hosts a shotgun training program for the Olympic sports of Trap and Skeet.
Honour added that, “Results from other athletes training at Beaverhill Sporting Clays Olympic who also competed at the Canadian Championships include: Lindsay Boddez placing 3rd in overall women’s and Garrett Dick placing sixth in the preliminaries and making it to the
“As nationals in Vancouver was my last competition for the year, my training will start to slow down into the winter as it gets too cold to shoot in Alberta.
Our government is moving forward with plans to lower the debt burden and increase savings now and for future generations. A surplus of $13.2 billion is allowing the government to pay down its debt by another $13.4 billion this fiscal year, reducing taxpayer-supported debt to $79.8 billion and saving Albertans millions in interest payments.

Tofield athlete and recent Provincial Champion, Lincoln Miskew achieved even greater success at the Canadian National Trapshooting Championship held in Vancouver this past week. Miskew, attending his first National Championship, was crowned the Under 21 Junior Canadian Champion. Additionally, his preliminary results placed him into the Men’s semi-finals.
Miskew is currently attending school at NAIT as a second year Millwright and will apprentice until the end of October and then go back to work as a Millwright.
“After a hard-fought semi-final, Lincoln progressed to the finals and emerged as the Bronze medalist in the Open Men’s catego-
ry,” stated Sandra Honour, Alberta International Trapshooters Association Program Manager and Coach.
We also intend to invest a historic $1.7 billion into the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund, and keep the $1.2 billion earned last year in the fund rather than transfer it to government’s General Revenue Fund, for a total of $2.9 billion. Maintaining and growing the Heritage Fund is vital to our continued economic strength, with investment earnings cushioning the province from future economic ups and downs.
“It was a pretty surreal feeling knowing that I can be competitive with some of the best shooters in the country. It was a great way to finish off my shooting season, and motivated me to keep working hard and improving in my shooting,” stated Miskew.
Budget Surplus Paying Down Debt
We are also resuming indexation of the personal income tax system to match inflation, beginning for the 2022 tax year, to keep more money in Albertans’ pockets. Many Alberta taxpayers will benefit from lower tax withholdings in 2023 and will receive larger tax refunds, or a reduction in their taxes payable, for 2022 when they file their taxes in spring 2023.We promised Albertans we would get our fiscal house in order and that’s

Our government is providing more than $11.3 million in funding for 25 projects that will increase access to high-quality palliative care. These grants will ensure that more and better palliative care is available for Albertans diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. With this funding we are delivering on a promise we made in 2019 as part of our commitment to strengthen our publicly funded health system.

He also made it into the men’s semi-finals. Miskew explained that it consists of the top eight shooters split into two squads, which shoot off, and the top two shooters from each group make it to the four- man final. “I finished second in the semi-final which gave me a spot in the final. I then placed third in the final with second Nicolo Galvan from BC and first to Colin Grover, also from BC.”
