Pot, Meet Kettle Arthur Beaudette News Advertiser - Opinion It appears that hypocrisy has no limits when it comes to federal politicians.

In a story recently broken by Global News, it seems that all the money that was “More than we are able to give...” is just sitting around burning a hole in the government coffers.

Since taking office almost 3 years ago, the Trudeau government has left more than $372 million unspent from the budget of Veteran’s Affairs. Money earmarked to help those who served our country.

I’ve written before in this space about the Edmonton town hall meeting in February where Trudeau was asked by Brock Blaszczyk why the government was fighting veteran’s groups in court. Blaszczyk, a former corporal who lost his left leg to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan received the following answer from Trudeau. “Why are we still fighting against certain veteran’s groups in court? Because they are asking for more than we are able to give right now,”.

After this reply, Trudeau attempted to play both sides of the argument by stating that the corporal’s frustration and anger were justified. As if to imply that he could somehow understand the position his government has put our veterans in.

Where is the hypocrisy? Well, when professional politicians do it, they do it with style.

Somehow despite not having enough money to fund the

needs of our veterans, the government found $37 million to pay to fight veterans groups in court. Somehow this feels like an early Christmas gift for lawyers who are on the government payroll. After all, what else would you do with a spare $37 million you have kicking around Parliament Hill? We know it’s not going to HELP veterans.

Back in 2015 while on what seems now to be part of an endless tour, Trudeau, then-leader of the Liberal party made the following statements. “[The Conservatives] fired hundreds of front-line veteran support staff, they closed nine local service offices, making it harder and harder for veterans to get the support they so badly need,” “They left unspent more than $1 billion that Parliament allocated for veteran support. Canadians know that this is wrong. A government led by me would make it right.” Oh? Show us the way, Mr. Trudeau!!

Ralph Goodale at the time also stood in Parliament and stated in an impassioned speech that the Conservatives “pocketed the cash” totaling over $1 billion during their time and spend it on advertising campaigns.

How stupid do federal politicians think we are? They sit in Parliament, make these great speeches as the opposition and then when elected and it comes time to do what they promised, and I will remind you what we are PAYING them to do, nothing changes.

When the current Minister of Veteran Affairs, Seamus O’Regan was asked about the situation this was his response.

“Much of what we do, in fact, about $4 billion of what we do, is statutory funding,”. “If something happens it means the government must find the money. And that obviously isn’t necessarily something you would find in the accounting books.”. Typical of a politician, but if you boil it down, he’s basically saying “It’s much too complicated for an average person and you’re not smart enough to understand. It’s accounting magic”.

You need to find the money?? Well, Global News just found $372 million for you and you blew another $37 million fighting Veteran’s groups. So at the current rate, come election time, you should have a cool half billion. If you were looking for it, maybe it’s in a van out back.

Minister O’Regan; If you could save $100 a day, it would take you 5 million days to save up a half billion dollars.

That’s (approximately) 13,726.84 years.

If given another 4 years and a little effort, they can easily match the $1 billion they were so critical of the Conservatives for not getting to our veterans. Pot, let me introduce you to kettle.

Is it gross incompetence or a disgusting level of hypocrisy?

You can decide for yourself. Unfortunately, it seems that the revolving door we have going on Parliament Hill does little to make real change for Canadians.

Maybe Maxime Bernier is on to something.

The many residents who have chosen to live there have said they found “exactly what they were looking for” in order to make the big life change of moving from their houses into a senior’s residence.

Each room in Heritage Heights has multiple closets, even more than one to

“A lot of the time, seniors have lived in the same place for quite awhile before they move here,” said recreation coordinator Kathy, “And they wind up having to downsize quite a bit. It’s already difficult to leave your long-time home, so the added closet space helps new residents to take their home – decorations, keepsakes, crafting materials etc.

Because the Heritage Heights suites are suited to independent living, the bathrooms are designed for the safety of the resident. Handrails, standing showers, and spacious rooms and hallways allow for mobility and safety at all times, and each suite is outfitted with a

90 Years Ago – September 19, 1928

Adler’s confectionery store received a visit on Sunday from parties evidently intent on burglary. From appearances some boys were trying their luck in that field of action which leads eventually to the penitentiary. Entrance to the store was gained by boring a hole through the rear and forcing their way in. They were messy burglars too, as they scattered biscuits all over the floor and left it looking rather unkempt. Some tobacco was tampered with but Mr. Adler cannot account for what may have been taken.

Wm. Wagner’s farm residence, 5 miles west of town, was burned to the ground on Wednesday morning, September 19th, the contents and all being a total loss. No one was in the house at the time, as Mrs. Wagner was attending to her chickens and Mr. Wagner was at the barn. Mrs. Wagner first noticed the blaze and called to him and he endeavoured to save some of the furnishings but had to desist and jump from an upper window to save himself.

The building was of frame, construction several years ago and fell an easy victim to the flames.

75 Years Ago – September 22, 1943

The tireless and energetic builder, W.G. Scritsmier, started this week with a crew of men to overhaul, rebuild and put in first-class shape the old building formerly occupied by the Vegreville Drug & Book Co. Not only is the face to be lifted, but the whole inside of the building is being renovated When the job is done, Mr. Scritsmler says it will be done right. It is to be divided in two parts and the south section will be occupied by Mr. Wm. Pidruchney, district agriculturist.

Following upon a cold and windy Saturday, the sky cleared off, the wind dropped at sundown and the thermometer dropped all the succeeding night until it stood, un-officially, at twenty above zero, or 12 degrees of frost. This was the first killing frost of the season and came along too late to do any damage. All the tender and semi-hardy flowers and vegetables were knocked out, only the very toughest being able to stand up on Sunday morning.

The bingo games promoted by the Kinsmen Club got off to a good start last Saturday night, the table being well filled throughout the evening.

50 Years Ago – September 19, 1968

An estimated total loss of $400.00 is reported from five firms following break-ins by thieves in Vegreville on the evening of September 12th. The firms robbed included Civic Tire & Battery Ltd. Yurko & Sons, The Trading Post, Micro Motor Co. Ltd., and the Vegreville Co-op.

Seven nominations were received by Returning Officer A.A. Cantrill for the position of councillors and one nomination was received for the position of Mayor on Wednesday morning. Mayor Koshuta was re-elected by acclamation to the position he had held since 1958. Prior to 1958 he was a member of the board as councillors. Three councillors will be elected at the poll to take place on Wednesday, October 16th. Two of the councillors, Dimmie Kozaway and John Huzil, had their terms expire this fall, while the third seat became vacant recently with the resignation of W.L. Horton. Three candidates nominated are those of a citizens’ slate and are Terry Soldan, Leo Cherot and Bill Porayko. The remaing two nominees are Mike Craddock, who has served on council prior to this, and Ernie Youswishen.

Pastor Raymond R. Devnich has recently arrived to the Vegreville district to serve the Vegreville, Innisfree and Vermilion Seventhday Adventist churches.

25 Years Ago - September 21, 1993

NOVA Corporation of Alberta put down some roots at a ground breaking ceremony on Thursday, September 16, at the future site of the new Vegreville maintenance building. The original building was built to accommodate five employees. NOVA now has over 80 employees in the maintenance area.The new $5.8 million facility is being built on the site at the west end of Vegreville.

Warrant Officer Jody Gargus of 341 Air Cadet Squadron was presented with a Lord Strathcona Award, one of only three in Alberta, at the 1993 graduation ceremony in Mundare on September 11th.

Commanding Officer C.V. (Chuck) St. Clair presented the award, along with a very substantial cheque. Jody is currently enrolled in the University of Alberta.

Vegreville RCMP are investigating an incident where someone shat a 12 gauge shotgun and .22 rifle at a natural gas pump site.

There was some damage to the enclosure. This incident occurred about 12 miles south of Vegreville. The Vegreville RCMP would also like to advise the public that damage to this type of facility could result in an explosion and severe damage to anyone in the immediate area.

Small Businesses Need MPs to Address Uncertainty and Eroding Tax Competitiveness Milena Stanoeva Canadian Federation of Independent Business September 17, 2018 – With Parliament back in session today and an election year looming, MPs need to help small businesses remain competitive by reducing costs and regulations, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

“On top of escalating trade tensions that marked the past summer, small businesses are facing increasing cost pressures at a time when U.S. competitors are seeing their tax and regulatory burden go down,” said Dan Kelly, CFIB president. “In fact, new data shows small business optimism has hit record highs in the United States, while Canadian small firms remain stuck in neutral. In light of looming tax hikes, we’re calling on the government to take immediate action so small businesses can grow, succeed and fuel the prosperity that benefits us all.”

Starting in 2019, CPP rates will go up every year for the next five years, significantly raising payroll costs for employers. “In fact, even with the welcome news of a small drop in Employment Insurance rates for 2019, employee pay-

cheques and employer payroll budgets will be smaller on January 1,” Kelly noted. On top of this, the tax changes introduced in 2017 have also been expensive for many small businesses, increasing both their tax and regulatory burdens.

“Though the government moved forward with its small business tax changes, there are still things that can be done to soften the blow on small business owners,” said Kelly. “Exempting spouses from the new income sprinkling rules and grandfathering existing investments from the new passive investment rules would go a long way towards improving business optimism.”

Helping businesses remain competitive In a letter sent to all MPs, CFIB is urging the government to introduce measures to offset the mounting costs and regulatory burden for small businesses, such as: Allowing small businesses to deduct costs on new equipment or technology Instituting a permanent lower EI rate for small businesses and an EI holiday for hiring youth “We’re looking forward to this new session and to working with all parties to strengthen Canada’s business environment,” added Corinne Pohlmann, CFIB senior vice-president of national affairs.

“This is their opportunity to take concrete actions to show small business owners they care in the lead-up to the 2019 election.”

Even though each suite in Heritage Heights has its own full kitchen, the residents are welcome to eat in the Heritage House dining room if they choose. The kitchen accommodates what the residents want, but also has two meals on the menu for each meal.

The Heritage House cook James Berleta has worked there since high school – first as a server and eventually as the cook. He loves to cook, and enjoys the good working environment. “I love serving all of the Baba’s and Gido’s here,” said Berleta, “Everyone feels like my own family.”

Heritage House manager Alexis Bauer says that the residents of Heritage Heights, even though they live now in complete independence, any health conditions that may arise could be easily accommodated. Unless the health concerns are serious enough that the resident would need to be moved into a unit with full-time nurses, they’re always welcome to stay at Heritage Heights.

Tofield Eye Care 1st Anniversary

Real Money S/Sgt Jerry Nutbrown RCMP Ponderings – Vegreville Paper and coin currencies have changed quite a bit over the last 50 years. We have gone from basic money

to the fancy money we have now in yet people are still trying to make it in their homes. Our bills used to be plain and much easier to duplicate to a reasonable facsimile. Most counterfeiters don’t mess around with coins as they are harder to make and a much lower value than the ‘paper’ currency. I used the word paper in quotes as our bills are no longer made from paper, but from polymers.

More and more countermeasures have been added to our bills to thwart criminals and make it easier for honest folks to tell the difference. Fake money usually comes in waves as someone makes a bunch and tries to get rid of it as quick as they can because once it is discovered, it is harder for them to move. Unfortunately, it is the opposite of a game of musical chairs as the last one holding the bill becomes the victim. If a person knows it is a fake bill and passes it, they are risking a criminal charge. So, what can you do so you don’t end up with worthless and illegal money?

The new bills make it easier, to a point, to detect fake money. These bills have so many anti-counterfeit features that it is easy for an average person to tell if the

A bouncy castle had also ben planned but due to the messy snow/rain weather conditions All the proceeds from the barbeque went to the local food bank, and the office provided all the food and beverages. Last year’s Grand Opening Barbeque proceeds went to Victim Services, and Dr. Marc Kallal says that for future anniversaries they will continue to give back to their community organizations as a thank you for the support.

Because of the celebration – and in spite of the weather – the Tofield Eye Clinic was bustling with eye exams and frame sales throughout the day.

teams, which would bring these numbers up to around 300 heads).

A popular event and a draw for the September 8 was the Blackout Race event for diesel vehicles. In addition to the drag racing cars, this event was a draw for regular street-cars instead. Drivers and cars from Saskatchewan, Lloydminster, Bonnyville, and the Edmonton Police Service participated in the day’s races.

The group of racers from Lloydminster who came had asked at the beginning of the year if Vegreville would hold an extra race on that weekend, to add to the 2018 circuit. As owners of a diesel shop in Lloydminster, the Blackout Race

was a hit for them.

With 78 vehicles to race, only one event was completed. In spite of the rest of the events not being able to finish, the VDRA reported that everything went smoothly, and have already booked more time for the May races to make sure they can run all races until they are finished.

The management and staff of Canadian Diesel Online expressed their gratitude towards all the participants and spectators for coming out to support the First Annual Canadian Diesel Shootout, and look forward to seeing everyone in May for the completion of the event and the 2nd Annual Canadian Diesel Shootout.

Vegreville Bunnock Association Donates to Agricultural Society

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser At the September 13 meeting of the Vegreville Agricultural Society, they were presented with a $500 cheque from the Vegreville Bunnock Association. This cheque was the half of the proceeds from the 50/50 draw at the 10th annual Vegreville bunnock tournament this year that was designated to be donated to a local charity.

Last year, the donation from the bunnock tournament’s 50/50 was donated to the Vegreville Crisis Association. This year, the President of the Vegreville Bunnock Association Joe Tschirren said that they chose the Agricultural Society because of the various events and support they provide in the Vegreville community. “We definitely appreciate all [they] do, and are thankful for the use of the

Ag Society grounds for our tournament.”

At the Agricultural Society meeting, members of the Bunnock Association were available to answer questions about the tournament venue, the attendance, and the potentiality of holding more than one tournament per year. The Vegreville Bunnock Association members said that while the attendance at the tournament had been at an all time high this year – and continues to grow – they don’t expect to expand in the future.

“A lot of the people who attend the tournament come from throughout Alberta, or in Saskatchewan,” said member Millie Giebelhaus, “And they follow a circuit of bunnock tournaments around through the summer.” As this wold mean organizing around a series of other tournaments in the spring-fall seasons, the Vegreville Bunnock Association does not forsee an additional tournament in the near future.

Saskiw Family Reunion Diane Saskiw Submitted The descendants of Steve and Fedozia Saskiw celebrated another successful family reunion at Borschiw Hall from July 13-14 this summer.

Back in 1993, some of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren decided to all get together and held the first reunion in July. It was a great success and they decided to host one every 5 years. 2003 marked 100 years since Steve and Fedozia immigrated to Canada from Ukraine. Copies of papers obtained from Pier One indicate that they arrived in Halifax by ship in November of 1903. They eventually homesteaded in an area south of Morecambe. One can only imagine the hardships that they faced in a new country, far from family and all that they knew.

But through hard work, determination and strong faith they persevered and carved out a life for themselves and their family.

Over the years, our family tree has changed as some leaves have fallen but many new ones have been added. There are now over 400 descendants and almost 200 were able to attend Borschiw this summer. New bonds were formed and there was much reminiscing & visiting with everyone. A wonderful meal prepared by the Borschiw Hall members was immensely enjoyed by all. On Sunday morning, many were able to attend a lovely memorial service for family members that have passed on before us.

Thank you to everyone who helped out with keeping the young ones entertained with baseball games, craft tables, and for taking care of the many details when putting on an event like this. EVERYONE enjoyed it and we look forward to another reunion on July 15, 2023.

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Stop Leads to Gun Seizure Cst. Suzanne Ahlstrom Media Contact – Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta – On September 14th, 2018, members of the Fort Saskatchewan Traffic/Crime Reduction Unit conducted a late night traffic stop of a motor vehicle associated to a subject Wanted by police. The vehicle was in an area known to be frequented by subjects involved in illegal drug use and property crime. As a result of the traffic stop and subsequent investigation; a loaded semiautomatic handgun was seized, along with suspected Crack Cocaine, Methamphetamine, and various other items consistent with drug trafficking.

Jason IBSEN, 39 years old, of Lamont, Alberta faces 10 firearms related charges in relation to this incident. IBSEN was also found to have recently been released from an Alberta Federal Institution and his Parole has subsequently been revoked.

Phillip GARAND, 29 years old, of Chipman, Alberta faces a total of 7 firearms related charges, 4 breach of condition related charges and 2 charges related to Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.

First Snow!?

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser The first snow of the season fell sloppily from the heavens starting on September 12, a day that as far as our four seasons are concerned is still technically summer. Rain coats and mittens have been switched back and forth, as the snow has melted and fallen again over the past week, with rainy patches in between.

This upcoming week, Environment Canada is calling for an overall low of -2 (Friday night) and an overall high of 12 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.

Everyone else is holding out hope that Fall is young yet… and there is still plenty of time for the sun to bring

down moisture levels before the harvest season is really over.

In light of these wacky weather conditions, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry’s Weekly Crop Report for our region reads as follows: “Region Three: North East (Smoky Lake, Vermilion, Camrose, Provost) • Cool, wet weather conditions delayed harvest and for some areas brought it to a standstill, which could negatively impact grain quality. Also, some frost damage was reported for green canola crops in some areas.

• In the North East Region, 60 per cent of crops are still standing, 27 per cent swathed and 13

per cent combined (down 12 per cent from the 5-year average of 25 per cent). About four per cent of canola are in the bin (compared to the 5-year average of 16 per cent), with another 52 per cent swathed. About 84 per cent of dry peas, 22 per cent of spring wheat and 20 per cent of barley and oats are either in swath or the bin.

• Surface soil moisture conditions (sub-surface soil ratings in the brackets) are rated as 6 (4) per cent poor, 20 (18) per cent fair, 55 (56) per cent good and 19 (22) per cent excellent.”

Ponderings - CONTINUED from PAGE 8 bill is real or not. The polymer is likely one of the easiest ways to tell if your bill is real. This material is hard for the criminals to find and use so they revert to other materials. Personally, I have not seen a good reproduction of our Canadian bills yet. Most have been very easy to identify as fake just by a quick look and feel of the bill. I realize not everyone has seen fake money and so it can be a little harder for you to determine if the bill is genuine or not. But good news, there are easily accessible resources available to help you and that starts with the cash you have.

Take a look at the paper money that you have now. The chances are very good that it is real. If you have a university student like myself, the last time you had cash in your pocket was when they were printed on paper including the one-and two-dollar bills. So, if you are lucky and have some bills, browse online to https:// www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/ and check to see if they are real. This website provides information on all the security features and most are easy to check. They also give you some background information on particulars and history of the graphics on the bills. The site shows the brand new $10 bill and goes into detail about it. You can also select various current denominations and check out a lot of information about them. For example, the $20 bill has; raised ink on specific spots, transparent areas, holographic and micro-printing properties as well. Most financial institutions have pamphlets on Canadian currency security features and information on what to do with a bill you suspect is counterfeit. For police, we hope we are your first call if you have any money you suspect may be fake that someone is trying to pass off. The least amount of handling the bill is good as we may be able to get some fingerprints off of it. We look at the features of the fake money because we may be able to determine where it is coming from based on other reports of similar occurrences and, particulars of the bill may lend toward a specific counterfeiter.

For businesses that accept cash, please ensure your employees are familiar with the security features on the various bills so they aren’t accepting any fake money.

Most often fake bills are used at convenience stores or somewhere where low value purchases can be made. The criminals buy something small in value to get real money back as their change. The greatest single thing to fight this type of crime is information but lucky for everyone, this is readily available from many sources.

Is it Time for Your Mammogram?

Alberta Health Services Submitted

Screen Test is coming to Vegreville on October 17 - 24, 2018.

Alberta Health Services – Screen Test brings breast cancer screening to women across Alberta with its mobile mammography clinics.

Why should I get a screening mammogram?

A screening mammogram is a special X-ray of your breast. Once you’re over 50, it is the best way to find breast cancer early. Screening mammograms can help find breast cancer when it is very small, 2-3 years before you or your doctor can feel it.

The earlier breast cancer is found the better treatment can be. In fact, most women (about 90%) are now surviving breast cancer 5 years after diagnosis.

Who should get a screening mammogram?

Women 50 and over should plan to have a mammogram every 2 years and may self-refer. Women 40-49 should discuss the risks and benefits of screening with their doctor and require a referral for their first appointment. There is no cost for this service. For more information visit: www.screeningforlife.ca/screentest.

Here are some common myths and facts about breast cancer screening:

Myth #1: Breast cancer isn’t very common.

In fact, 1 in 8 Alberta women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

Myth #2: Only women with a family history of breast cancer will get it.

The truth is, 80% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history. So it’s important to understand that you are still at risk for breast cancer even if no one in your family has ever had the disease.

Myth #3: Regular mammograms can’t find small tumours any sooner than women could find them themselves.

Screening mammograms can find small tumours about 2-3 years before they can be felt. That’s why screening is so important — it can find cancer before it has a chance to become more serious Myth #4: Having a mammogram can cause breast cancer or can cause an already existing cancer to spread.

Mammograms use a very small dose of radiation. Research confirms that the risk of harm from radiation from mammography is very low. The benefits of finding and treating breast cancer early far outweigh the risk of the small dose of radiation.

Myth #5: There is nothing a woman can do to lower her risk of developing breast cancer.

While it’s true that there are some things you can’t control, there are some things you can do: • Physical Activity – Be physically active throughout your life and exercise every day.

• Weight – Try to reach or stay at a healthy body weight. This becomes even more important after menopause.

• Alcohol – Limit the amount of alcohol you drink to no more than one drink per day.

• Smoking – Don’t smoke and avoid second-hand smoke. If you’re currently a smoker, talk to your healthcare provider about options for quitting or cutting back. You can also get support at AlbertaQuits.ca or call 1-866-710-QUIT. Long-term Hormone Replacement Therapies (HRT) – Limit using the • combination of estrogen and progestin menopausal hormone replacement therapy to no more than 5 years; long-term use (beyond 5 years) increases a woman’s risk of breast cancer. But within 2 years of stopping, a woman’s risk of breast cancer returns to average

Ask the Guys Dear Classified Guys, I used to watch the cartoon, Curious George, with my son when he was younger. Cute cartoon, but I always thought it was strange that a grown man would have a monkey as a pet. Then the other day I saw an ad where a woman wanted to adopt a pet monkey. She claimed that she couldn't have any more children and wanted a monkey to love at home. I'm thinking this woman is crazy. Monkeys belong in the wild, or a zoo, not at home. If she wanted a pet, why not get a dog or a cat? If she wanted a baby, try adopting. Substituting a monkey to fill the void seems like a bad idea to me. I thought it was illegal to own a monkey in the United States. I know it's possible to get almost any type of pet these days, but is owning a monkey really a good idea?

Cash: It should be no surprise

to you that so many people think of their pet as one of the family.

In fact, some people dress them in outfits, buy them health insurance and even send them to day care during work hours.

Every so often my brother Larry and I get our families together for a dinner. Since both of us are biology teachers, it's usually not long before we get into some sort of intellectual discussion at the table.

At the last dinner we somehow found ourselves on the topic of Darwin's theory. After a long-winded debate on the controversy of creation versus evolution, I posed a question to my 13-year-old daughter. "Do you think it's possible that our relatives long ago could be apes?" I asked her.

We all laughed when she looked at my brother and replied, "It makes sense. I mean it would explain Uncle Larry!"

As humans we seem to have a fascination with celebrities.

Between news programs, movies and TV shows, we can't seem to get enough. However, a recent research study suggests the obsession may go deeper than just the influence of the media.

Researchers at Duke University found that monkeys were also mesmerized by images of "celebrity" monkeys. When given a choice between receiving their favorite fruit juice or viewing pictures of dominate or "celebrity" monkeys, the pictures consistently won. The study was conducted as part of autism research.

animals by nature, you can imagine owning one is not for the average pet owner. They can carry unusual diseases that need to be considered and can cost much more to care for than a typical dog or cat.

Carry: And while they're cute and cuddly when they are small, their temperaments do change as they reach maturity, sort of like an out-of-control teenager. They can become aggressive and even destructive, especially if left alone or bored.

Cash: So if this woman is simply looking for companionship, she may be best to consider a cat or dog and leave the monkeys to the Curious George cartoon.

Cash: The woman you described could have any number of reasons why she wants a pet monkey. Regardless, the most important thing for anyone to consider is the care required for the pet. This applies whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or yes, even a monkey.

Carry: The legality of owning a monkey is controlled on a state or town level. Presently, some states prohibit them from being owned as pets while others have strict regulations or require permits.

The laws are constantly changing so it's important to do the research before considering such an exotic pet.

While some may remember Michael Jackson for his "Thriller" career or Neverland Ranch, others may recall his pet chimpanzee, named Bubbles. It was reported that Michael rescued the animal from a cancer research facility in 1985. Bubbles was trained to use a toilet by himself and eat his food using cutlery. As he grew older though, the chimpanzee became more aggressive. Today he is living at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida.

H.A. Kostash School in Smoky Lake Holds Teachers Workshop

Running for a Cure in Holden Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On the provincially-recognized Terry Fox Day, the Beaver Regional Arts Society brought members of the Holden Community together for the annual Terry Fox Run. When it comes to such a widespread, National effort to make a difference for those who are struggling with Cancer, Beaver Regional Arts Society President Christine Mackay says that the difference is not in how fast you run or how many people are at each event, but how many, as a whole, are doing the run together. “We have had the Terry Fox Run in Holden for a number of around twenty years now,” said Mackay, “And we always do have people running it. This year there were only five walkers at the beginning of the run… but it’s important for small communities to do what they can because maybe otherwise those five wouldn’t have been able to participate.”

The Holden run is 10 km long, starting and ending at the Holden Seniors Lodge. Mackay said that the Beaver Regional Arts Society and the Terry Fox Run are thankful for the support of the lodge.

Dick Richards Principal – H. A. Kostash School On 14 September, teachers from HAK and Vilna participated in a workshop with ATA presenter Coralee Forster. The workshop focused on improving assessment practices.

“It’s really good of them to host us. Their contribution keeps participation possible for us.”

At this year’s Terry Fox Run, Holden raised a total of $1,250.00 from 8 walkers, as two others joined closer to the end of the day.

There was also a draw for a 2018 Terry Fox Run t-shirt, a display of runs from previous years, and refreshments for the participants to enjoy at the end of their run.

Members of the Holden community take part in the Terry Fox Run, rain, snow, or shine.

GULEVICH, Chad April 23, 1990 - September 22, 2016 We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; For part of us went with you The day God called you Home.

You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Love you forever and always, Mom, Dad and Lee

HORON, Wayne September 18, 2009 A tribute of love and remembrance to a beloved son, brother & uncle In our hearts your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true; There is not a day, dear Wayne, That we do not think of you.

We cherish the memories As life continues on, But just to hear your voice, Is what we truly long.

We shed a tear when we think of you, Smile when we speak your name We hold you proudly in our hearts Until we meet again.

Softly the leaves of memory fall.

Gently we gather and treasure them all.

Unseen, unheard, you are always near.

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

There will always be heartache And often a silent tear, But always precious memories Of days when you were here.

We hold you close within our hearts; And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.

When evening shades are falling And we sit quietly alone, To our hearts there comes a longing, We wish you could come home.

Friends may think we have forgotten, When at times they see us smile, But little do they know the heartache Our smiles hide all the while.

Today, tomorrow our whole life through, We will always love and remember you.

Love Mom and Dad

BEAUDETTE, Edward In loving memory of my dear brother, Edward who passed away September 20, 1986.

BOWLEY, Louise Elanor November 21, 1928 – September 9, 2018 God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So He put his arms around you And whispered, “Come to me,” With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Our mom is now in the arms of the angels.

Nettie Zaleschuk Celebrates 95 Years of Virtuous Living

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent If anyone wants a recipe on how to live a good and long life, ask Nettie Zaleschuk who turned 95 on September 17.

The sentiment on how Nettie is always positive and loves without judgment or questions was expressed throughout Nettie Zaleschuk’s 95th Birthday Celebration which a full hall of family and friends attended at Elk’s Lodge No. 143 on September 16.

Everyone greeted Nettie with handshakes and hugs.

Nettie’s wish was to live to see her two great-great-grandchildren, Nash, and Everley LaFrance. So, they were the highlight of the party.

The emcees were Nettie’s granddaughters-Elaine Kucher and Kelly Giebelhaus who said Nettie holds a special place in all of the hearts of her family.

MLA for Fort Saskatchewan/Vegreville, Jessica Littlewood then presented Nettie with a certificate from the Government of Alberta for her 95th birthday and a Coat of Arms’ pin.

The celebration opened with Pastor, Father Daniel Wach from Holy Trinity Church saying grace and a special blessing before the large dinner of Ukrainian dishes and North America food which the family cooked and prepared and had everything available to satisfy everyone’s taste. Party-goers could help themselves to the large assortment of desserts, tea, coffee, and juice.

Family members said what made Nettie special. Fabian Way said his Great-Aunt, Nettie is always welcoming to everyone wherever she goes and makes them a part of the family.

“Auntie was never judgemental or gossiped about anyone. She was always very fair. She is very intelligent. She also always made sure to be a big part of our lives,” Fabian said.

Hasanna Kucher said her GreatGrandma, Nettie always has a smile FRIDAY @ 5PM. DEADLINE FOR ALL ADS

on her face and she always wants to know what is going on in her family’s lives. She is welcoming to everyone, no matter who they are. She will never say anything bad about anyone.

Nettie’s daughter, Marie Yakimowich added that she wanted to say she loves her mother and is very grateful for everything her mother did for her.

Elaine Kucher learned patience and virtue from her grandmother, Nettie. She said Nettie was full of wisdom and love and there are really no words to describe how Nettie helps them with everything she does and say.

Kelly Giebelhaus, who is a teacher said the Grade 11 Career and Life Management students went over last year to volunteer to spent time with the residents at Homestead Lodge. From their conversations with Nettie, these students learned the importance of school and the most important rule to live by is to treat others the way we wish to be treated back. Nettie also highlighted how important it is to listen to our partners and work through all problems.

Nettie’s oldest grand-daughter, Lori Wolinski accompanied by Lori’s grandson, Nash performed, Coat of Many Colors.

All family members presented Nettie with a rose while Nettie’s oldest grand-daughter, Lori Wolinski sang, The Rose.

Nettie’s children also sang, My Dearest Mother in Ukrainian and English.

As well, everyone sang Happy Birthday, a song to wish Nettie many more years, and other songs.

Anne Bilyk’s Faith Forms her Life

Anne Bilyk is a lady who keeps youthful from her involvement in life and a positive attitude.

(Rosanne Fortier/ photo)

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent Anne Bilyk’s faith in God, her family, and the community are the cornerstones of her life and what she believes keeps her healthy and whole.

Anne was born on December 24, 1931 at home in Mundare where she grew-up on a farm with four brothers and one sister.

Anne’s earliest memory was having a lot of fun growing-up on the farm. Her mother and father used to take the family out with the horse sleigh and she loved hearing the sounds of the bells ringing in the snow.

She recalled how it was wonderful to visit all the neighbors and how the children would all play together. “I really remembered how mom would put hay underneath the table on Christmas Eve. We never had gifts, instead we had candies, apples, and oranges. We loved this and were just happy! We never considered ourselves to be poor.” Anne said.

Anne mentioned they didn’t have any toys growing-up but this didn’t bother them because they had so much fun playing games and inventing their own play activities.

But Anne always wanted a doll and this wish came true when she was 40 years old because she received a big box with a lovely doll in it as a gift from her mom.

Anne walked a mile and a half each way to school. She said she enjoyed school and learning, and had a lot of friends. After school, they did a lot of chores on the farm.

Anne met her husband at a wedding in Mundare. She really liked him and bumped into him on purpose to get his attention. He knew Anne before because he saw her at church all the time but he was too shy to talk to her because he sat at the back of the church and Anne sat at the front of the church.

After that, they courted each other for a year and a half.

Anne’s husband was a really good man. They had a really good marriage because he was very kind and loving, honest, and very good to Anne and their two sons, and daughter. “He was very good to his co-workers at work too,” Anne added.

Anne said when they got married, she lived with her husband’s parents for three years. It worked well because they were wonderful people.

Anne’s husband was an accountant who always did what was best for the clients at work.

Anne’s senior years are good but she misses her husband who passed away from cancer 27 years ago when he was 61 years old. Anne was very thankful she could take care of him at home during his illness.

Today Anne is very thankful for her good health, her three wonderful children, six grandchildren, and seven greatgrandchildren. One of her great grandson’s was born on September 10, 2018.

Anne credits her good health for her positive thinking, being active, going for walks, volunteering, believing in God, her caring children and grandchildren, and always being thankful for all the blessings she has.

St. Mary’s School Meet the Staff BBQ

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent A lot of friendly faces were getting acquainted and reacquainted at the St. Mary’s School’s Meet the Staff BBQ on September 11.

“We have this ‘Meet the Staff BBQ’ as a way to get the parents to come in and meet a face they hear from a name their kids speak about at home,” Principal, Mr. Salsbury said. “We have held this BBQ every year, but this year is especially significant because of the new staff we have. Also, this event is a good way to make sure everybody has a way to connect and build relationships. We get to know who they are and they get to know who we are, and when we have those conversations, it benefits the students because everyone gets to know each other.”

Hometown Heroes Project Presentation Gypsy playing with a Pysanka-shaped stress ball.

Mayor Tim MacPhee said that the film project is a good-feeling kind of thing. “It’ a chance for us to get out there. Any time we can promote our town it’s a good thing, plus it celebrates the Ukrainian settlers in this area.”

During the presentation, Troy also pointed out that should the film be shot next year, it will also be good for Vegreville businesses. “Out-of-town cast and crew members would stay in Vegreville and shop at Vegreville shops for a prolonged period of time,” he said, “But I want to source as many local cast and crew members as I can.”

Troy announced that he will be giving free acting and filmmaking workshops in Vegreville in the future if his film wins the competition.

Troy Ruptash said that he was not at all surprised by the incredible turnout at the presentation. “This is the community that stood behind me when I started skating at 9 years old, all through my skating career, and then when I pursued a career as an actor.” “One of the intentions is to bring attention to the Vegreville community.

I want everyone who sees this film and joins me in the journey of making it to be able to experience what I have experienced; which is a deeper sense of who I am and where I came from.”

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser On Sunday, September 16, Troy Ruptash shared the details of his upcoming film project “They Who Surround Us,” whose campaign was opened officially in the Hometown Heroes competition on Monday. Troy Ruptash was hosted by the Vegreville United Church for the afternoon, and guests at the presentation included Mayor of Vegreville Tim MacPhee and Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA, Jessica Littlewood.

Troy Ruptash’s film project “They who Surround Us,” is inspired by the lives and the stories of Troy’s ancestors and other settlers in the community. He began the project, which centered around a Ukrainian farmer in Alberta, who felt the loss of his broken faith. One day, the farmer hears the beautiful singing of a woman’s voice in the woods and follows her through the woods on a path to understanding, history, and eventually, his restored faith.

After sharing the idea for the film, Troy Ruptash explained the parameters of the Hometown Heroes Project, a competition that was started by successful Hollywood producers the Duplass Brothers, as a means of encouraging filmmakers to shoot films set in their own hometowns, to tell the stories that aren’t being told in the places that aren’t being told. Having already had the idea of the woman in the woods, Troy chose to dig deeper into the themes of faith, family, and community for the project.

“In all the researching and digging into the story, my aim for the project was to give my ancestors their voice, and they gave me my own voice to tell their story,” Troy said, “It’s been a real deepening of that.”

Should “They who Surround Us” be a finalist in the competition, shooting for the film will take place next summer when the canola fields are in bloom. The film will then immediately go into post-production, and be released in the spring/ summer of 2020.

At the event, there were posters with the link to follow, in order to follow the story.

Troy also showed video footage of sponsorship incentives; himself and a friend making a glass plate with the Ukrainian Orthodox cross, and him and his dog

marathon a day for nearly 143 days for a total of 5,373 kilometres across Canada.

Similar to Terry’s journey, the weather didn’t deter people from coming together on September 16 to participate in the 38th Annual National Terry Fox Run. Kinette Club of Vegreville also hosted their fifth Terry Fox Run on September 16 which saw 45 participants of all ages taking part. This event raised $5102 which will go to the Terry Fox Foundation.

The run started and ended at Vegreville Aquatic and Fitness Centre. Participants could bike, run, walk, or rollerblade the 5 km routes that were setup around Vegreville. If they desired they could take on a 10 km.

As always, bottled water, juice, and refreshments were available for participants. Vera Bykowski from Vegreville was at the walk with her daughter, Darlene Meininger from Austin, Texas and her son, Scott Bykowski from Calgary. Darlene said

she felt it was very important to participate in the Terry Fox Run because cancer is worldwide and the more research they can do for it the better it is no matter what country you come from. “My dad had cancer on his forehead and he had radiation.

So far, he’s okay. But we still need the money for it because it is such a complicated disease and without those funds we won’t be able to help people who have cancer. So, I just happy to be here and doing this every year. We will just keep going and doing what Terry wanted us to do,” Darlene said.

Scott said he took the run because he felt his dad was a cancer survivor and this event helps the community come together and raise some funds and hopefully one day find a cure.

Member of Kinette and Chair of Terry Fox Run, Brandy Stefan said the run went very well. She was pleased with the outcome; it was nice to see that the weather held and they are looking forward to holding this run again next year.

September 10, 2018, Town Hall Meeting – Vegreville Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser Before updating the bylaw about how the Town of Vegreville must make the public aware of meetings, hearings, and events, they were required to hold a public hearing. Before Changing the Social Media Procedures Bylaw, they were required to hold a public hearing, as the second of the readings of the updated bylaw. This preceded the Town Hall Meeting at 6:30 on Monday, September 10.

No speakers were present and there was no correspondence received so the hearing closed a 6:43.

In correspondence read at the Council Meeting, it was announced that Minister Anderson accepted the Old Walking Trail project. Councillor Rudyk said she had received reports that the improvement was great and increased the flow of traffic. “It’s proving to be the kind of project that doesn’t get seen by everyone but is appreciated by those who do.”

Vegreville Mayor Tim MacPhee MSI letter about the approvement of the project. Mayor MacPhee said that following this “We are now working to book meeting with minister Anderson about the 51st Street construction.”

Correspondence to Councillor Rudyk of an official letter of acceptance for the Award of Excellence for municipal officials included an invitation to the VIP luncheon before the ceremony on September 26th. An update from Councillor Rudy will follow after she returns from the awards ceremony.

The Vegreville Town Council accepted the recommendation and moved to sell the Veg Auto and Industrial Supply building for $265,000.

The Veg Auto and Industrial building at 4846-50 Ave (Lot 29, Block 11, Plan 1821892) will be sold on

a security contract, as the new owner must renovate very quickly to accommodate business. Because of concerns about the cleanup, the Town of Vegreville sold the lot to the new owner at full cost, no deposit, but the building is still standing. The new owner bought another lot for $100,000 prior, and over the next few years, he would like to bring it up to standard.

The Town of Vegreville wishes him the best with his project on the property.

In response to a letter from Vermilion’s Lakeland College reaching out to the Town of Vegreville for support for the proposed Commercial Agriculture Technology Access Centre, Mayor MacPhee pointed out that Council had received many “Good news announcements throughout the meeting.”

“Post-secondary institutions are large financial components in a community, and local institutions create more opportunities for our local students.”

Said Mayor MacPhee, “We are thrilled to support.

Vermilion college has been good in a number of ways and, in the region, the college is a blessing.”

Lakeland College was not ready to release the rest of their plan for the Commercial Agriculture Technology Access Centre, but Council has written the requested letter of support of the project During the Councillor Reports, Councillor Waters brought to the Council’s attention that the Norquest Medical Aide training program only has 1 registered student, and needs 16 students to run.

People can continue to work because it is part-time, and because Alberta Health Services is chronically in need for people to fill those pools, there is real employment opportunity immediately upon completion of the course. (see ad for details.)
