Undeniably, Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville ridingis one of the most important constituencies inAlberta, and Wildrose candidate Shannon Stubbstold a group of about 100 supporters huddled up in afarmer’s equipment shed a mile north of Lamont lastWednesday evening, “how great” it was to be therenear family and friends.
Stubbs also expressed her gratitude to her mentorand friend, and Wildrose Party leader DanielleSmith. “I’m glad Danielle could come and visit soearly on the campaign,” added Stubbs, who intro-duced Smith to the enthusiastic crowd shortly after 6p.m.
“This campaign is about the future of Alberta,”stated Stubbs, as well as creating a new generation ofleadership. She alluded to the strong foundation ofthe Wildrose Party and the equally strong leadershipof Smith.
“It’s time. It’s time Albertans form a Wildrosegovernment,” declared Smith. Her words were greet-ed with hearty applause and many cheers from sup-porters.
Smith compared the PC government to a bunch ofbullies who don’t listen, let alone represent the opin-ions and values of regular Albertans as well as those“MLA’s to be, like Shannon Stubbs.”
Smith told the audience that the Wildrose wouldoperate a “lean, clean, fair and smart” government; agovernment that works for regular Albertans, not theother way around. “Finally, there’s a party that’s herefor you!”
Smith, one of five children, briefly reflected on herupbringing. “We went through some tough times,”but like many other Albertan families, managed tomake it through those difficult years. “I suppose wewere poor, but I didn’t think I was.” She talked abouther first car, a ‘72 Datsun that was so rusted out thatyou could see right through the floor boards. Shestarted pushing a cart in a bingo parlor before work-ing at McDonalds for a time before working her way
up in the restaurant business. She talked about earning her way through two
university degrees with minimal student loan debt.“My experiences are not that much different thanother Albertans.” Smith talked about the strong workethic Albertans have as well as importance of caringfor ourselves and our neighbours.
“Forty years after Lougheed formed the PC gov-ernment, it has forgotten its core values like the fed-eral PC government. That’s why this campaign is socritical. That’s why the choice you are facing is soimportant.” Smith then encouraged Albertans toembrace the “new ideas” and “people first”approach, and “initiative” of Wildrose members whohave been building the party up since its inceptionback in 2009.
Referring to Premier Redford’s recent speech, andRedford’s desire to change the character of theprovince, she stated: “I don’t think it needs to change.I love Alberta.”

In the fall of 2010longtime Chipman vil-lage councillor GaryStead stepped down toallow other residents torun for his seat. Now, 15months later, Stead willbe returning to the seathe had held for 27 con-secutive years.
“I stepped aside toget someone new oncouncil.” That someonenew was Evelyn Henke,who resigned the posi-tion more than a monthago.
While a byelectionwas called to fill her seat,no one besides Stead
filed nomination papers,so on April 10th Steadwill be sworn into coun-cil.
“We needed someonewho would be able tostick to the job,” saysStead. But that didn’thappen as Henke couldno longer fulfil her obli-gations on council due to“time constraints,”added Stead.
While initially disap-pointed with the news ofHenke’s departure, Steadrealized he would haveto step up to the plateonce again. He injectshumour into the conver-sation by stating that hedoesn’t have to beretrained for the job.
Stead is married toGretta, and was volun-teer with the village’s firedepartment for 30 years.
Stead points out thatChipman is the largestvillage in the provinceand is growing. The vil-lage also has room togrow, with 14 quartersections of land, andthere are plans in theworks to develop morecommercial and heavyindustrial development.
One issue Stead planson getting involved inonce he’s officially backon council is seniorshousing in the communi-ty.
“Our generation iscoming up to retire-
ment,” added Stead,who says facilities willneed to be constructed inthe next three to fiveyears to address thedemand that has beenforecasted.
The village currentlyhas four self containedunits, but Stead says atleast another four needto be developed in thenear future.
So while Stead hasplayed an important rolein the village’s past forthe past 27 years, he willalso be playing a pivotalrole in the community’sfuture; a future that islooking promisingindeed.

Cont. from pg. 1Smith spoke of her love of Albertans self reliance,
integrity, and pride. “It’s not that Alberta needschanging; it’s the government that does.”
She went onto reinforcing the importance of ade-quately funding health care, of not moving moneyout of education or social services. “We are in this togive families a break, and to restore the faith andpride of what it means to be an Albertan.” She thentouched on the Wildrose’s pledge to deliver a bal-anced budget.
Smith said there is nothing risky about votingWildrose. “Doing nothing is risky. Giving the PC’sanother majority is risky...” She encouragedAlbertans “get it right, starting right now, and onApril 23rd.
Smith fielded a couple of questions from themedia before shaking hands with supporters beforedeparting on the Wildrose campaign bus down theRange Road 200.

PC candidate Jacquie Fenske sharesspecials insights with constituents
BY MICHELLE PINON
EditorNo one is more excited about the future than Jacquie Fenske.And the Strathcona County councillor, believes she will be the next MLA for
Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville.Confident, but not cocky; Fenske feels she’s the best candidate for the job, and
has the experience and dedication to make a difference for constituents in the rid-ing.
With extensive experiences as a former teacher, mother, volunteer, advocatefor agriculture as well as development in the Heartland, coupled with nine yearsof experience as a county councillor, Fenske believes she is the one to lead theway.
“I’m so excited about the future,” says Fenske, who feels the province is on the“cusp” of many great things. “We have great potential, and I want to be a strongvoice in that,” adds Fenske.
Living in the “bread basket” of Alberta, Fenske sees so much potential growthand development whichgoes hand in hand withAlbertans vision and pas-sions, strong work ethic,spark of creativity, andwillingness to work hardto provide a better futurefor their children and com-munities in which theylive.
Those attributes andvalues, also seem to reflectFenske’s personal values,as she aims to strike a bal-ance between the economy,environment, and socialneeds on a higher plain.
“I really thrive on mak-ing my community better. Iget my energy from ideasand seeing them come tofruition.”
She also is focused onseeing her dream ofbecoming MLA a reality,and recently requested anunpaid leave of absencefrom her duties as countycouncillor, to devote all hertime and energy over the
next three week’s to her election campaign.“Perception is reality,” and Fenske wants voters to know that she has, and will
continue to do the right thing for her prospective constituents.Well known for her persistence, Fenske says that no might be the first answer;
but not necessarily the last answer, when it comes to answering the needs of con-stituents. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of putting people together, and work-ing towards achieving common goals. “We need to have our eyes and ears open.”
Fenske has been busy meeting and greeting constituents in their homes, com-munity centres, and social events over the past several months; and she wantspeople to know that she is listening to their concerns.
She says farmers want a better explanation of their land rights, what some ofthe amendments to legislation are, and what’s needed to ensure they are well pro-tected in the future.
Access to the health care system is another issue constituents are raising withFenske, and she says she recognizes the need for more family care clinics andPrimary Care Networks along with more facilities, staffing and training.There is a need for training and retraining in many different sectors as well as suf-ficient funding for education at the various levels.
Fenske is grateful to those who have, and will continue to share their concernsand raise their voices. So while she has two offices, one in Vegreville and one inFort Saskatchewan, she recognizes the need for a stronger presence in the Tofieldarea. Fenske also likes the idea of reaching out to people in some of the smallercommunities in the constituency, and is entertaining the idea of operating out ofthem one or two days a month.
She has always maintained close ties to the land and her roots, and recalls vis-iting her grandparents who farmed in the Star and Josephburg area. She also talksabout the importance of her Christian faith, and the integral role it has played inher life and the life of her family.
Fenske, who resides in the Josephburg area, is married to Doug and they havetwo children, Dannielle and Brock. She is most proud of her rural roots, and vol-
unteering with agricultur-al societies. Fenske is mostproud of an award shereceived as regional direc-tor for the AlbertaAssociation AgriculturalSocieties back in the late‘90’s.
While teaching, Fenskewas given an award aseffective public relationspromoter, and loved pro-moting intergenerationalactivities and opportuni-ties. She is building onthat philosophy by involv-ing youth in the electioncampaign, and hopes toexpand on that concept inthe future.
She has always had apassion for education, andhas always been a big pro-ponent of literacy. A vora-cious reader, her favoritebook of all time is Anne ofGreen Gables, and shows me a copy of the book her son gave to her following atrip to the birthplace of the legend. Fenske displays a passion and a purposeregardless of what subject she is speaking about. She loves learning, and servingpeople, and she is hoping to expand her hands on education in her quest tobecome the next MLA for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville on April 23rd.

"Boy this guy must be a bad texter!" com-mented my husband looking in his rear viewmirror on a drive into Fort Saskatchewan.
This comment started the sequence of eventsthat had we NOT "made the call" could havechanged the lives of many people including us.
As I turned around to see what he was talk-ing about the truck nearly hit the ditch for a sec-ond time. This guy wasn't texting he was allover the road crossing the centre line ontooncoming traffic several times after theBruderheim turnoff. I wasn't waiting, I wasmaking the call!
911 - What is your emergency? I would like toreport a suspected drunk driver.
I was able to speak to the dispatcher describ-ing the vehicle, how he almost hit several carsand a Semi. As well as how he would continual-ly speed up and almost hit our truck.
My blood was rushing and I was scared.Scared for all those people on the Highway withus, scared that many of my friends would bedriving home from work at that time, scared formy sons and husband, scared for the suspecteddrunk who was driving like that.
For what seemed like forever, the police werefinally able to pull him over, and we were askedif we could come in to write out our statements.The police are more likely to get a conviction ifjoe public reports a drunk driver we were told.No problem, my kids can wait the 15 minutes togo to McDonalds for supper. I like to think I amteaching them a valuable lesson when it comesto doing the right thing when "making the call!"and following up.
While at the station the driver was brought inand we were told that his breathalyzer was 0.2,which is over double the legal limit.
Three weeks after "making the call" and put-ting in our statement to the police I received acall from a constable letting me know that onemore drunk driver will be off our roads. Afterpleading guilty to a criminal offense he receiveda $1300 fine as well as a one year driving suspen-sion.
Save a life and "make the call!"

The annual Andrew Memorial Tournament was a huge success thanks tovolunteers and members of the Andrew Agricultural Society.
The fourth installment, held March 30 to April 1st, drew more than 130players from across the region. Nine teams vied to win the title during the threeday tourney. In the end, the MT Netters beat out the Chiefs by a score of 11-8,to capture the championship.
One of the highlights of the event was a banquet and dance that drew morethan 250 people. Carrie Hrehorets, one of the organizers of the event, was verypleased with the turn out which helped to raise more than $7,000 for the agri-cultural society, which operates and maintains the local arena. Hrehorets saysproceeds go directly towards assisting minor hockey and figure skating pro-grams. “Without the efforts of these people, these organizations wouldn’t havehad the success that they have had over the last 30 years.”
Hrehorets says everything ran smoothly, and had nothing but praise to thevolunteers, which number well over 20, for helping make the event so success-ful.
The agricultural society holds numerous fundraising events over the courseof the year including the Garlic Festival and Sport-Off. Currently, the ag. soci-ety is hosting a raffle, which includes a grand prize of a 2012 Polaris Sportsman550 Quad. Second prize is a vacation for two to Las Vegas. Third prize is $1,000cash, fourth prize his and hers mountain bikes, and fifth prize of $500. Ticketswill be available for sale until the draw date on Oct. 26th. For more informa-tion on the raffle, and other events go to: www.andrewagsociety.com

past two years, researchers found that even with
some very wet conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered
Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green

best chance to become established and reach its top
potential yield. And at the same time, if the rains
come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 is still
safe to apply.”
Best-in-class control of Group 1resistant grassy weedsMore and more, spring wheat growers in Western
Canada are plagued with hard-to-kill grassy weeds.
As a Group 2 herbicide, EVEREST 2.0 enhances

Local families reap rewards of Play And Learn programBruderheim father attempting to secure funding for literacy program in his community
BY MICHELLE PINONEditor
Wayne Olechow can’tsay enough aboutDebbie Holland, directorof Lamont County’sCommunity AdultLearning Council(CALC), or the organiza-tion’s Play and Learn(PAL) program that hasbeen operating in theTown of Bruderheim forthe past two years.
PAL was created toassist in early childhooddevelopment as well asassist parents and care-givers to strengthen theirparenting skills. “I reallybelieve in the program,”says Olechow, who hasbeen taking his childrenClaire, 5, and Cameron,4, to the highly success-ful and popular 16 weekprogram which operatesout of the Bruderheim
Moravian Church.Olechow says the
program is a greatopportunity for youngchildren to learn literacyskills as they participatein songs, rhymes, andstory time. Both Wayne
and his wife Stephaniehave seen the little onesexcitement and love oflearning through the spe-cially designed playtime.The kids love “the magicbook bag” and get a bagof various reading andlearning materials to
take home with them atthe end of each visit.
Promoting literacy isalways positive, addsOlechow as well asdeveloping stronger par-enting skills. He says theprogram offers informa-tion, education, newideas, and different waysof living with children.“It’s all about learning.”Olechow says “everyonebenefits” from the pro-gram, and he is workinghard to keep the pro-gram operating inBruderheim next yearand beyond. So eventhough CALC is havingto transfer the programto another community inthe fall, Olechow isworking hard to securefunding to continue theprogram in the commu-nity.
While he praisesHolland for her dedica-
tion to her job, and will-ingness to go that extramile; it seems likeOlechow is now goingthat extra mile to keepthe program up and run-ning in Bruderheim.
Olechow has beenlooking at securing fund-ing and sponsorship inrecent months, and isconfident he will be ablereach his goal. He real-izes the value of the pro-gram for both childrenand parents, and how itstrengthens both familiesand communities. “I’dhate to see the program,which is going so well inour community end.”
Olechow says therearen’t a lot of programsavailable for youngstersin the community, and heis doing what he can tokeep the program intown.
“I reallybelieve in the
program.”

Guest speaker for theevening was PastInternational PresidentJudge Brian Stevensonwho thanked club mem-bers for their hospitalityand the work they'vedone. "What a great lega-cy of caring," statedStevenson, who congrat-ulated all of the past andpresent members whohave exemplified the"We Serve" motto, andchampion the volunteerspirit which has beenconstant throughout thetown's history whichdates back to 1895 whena small group of Germansettlers came to putdown roots in the area.
Stevenson pointedout that the communityis built on strong values,and those values wereexemplified through thework of Lions andLioness Clubs inBruderheim which haveidentified needs in thecommunity, and helpedfill those needs, andimprove all aspects oflife for all in Bruderheim.
Stevenson personallycommended and praisedmembers of the twogroups of "humanitari-ans," both past and pres-ent, who have madeBruderheim a betterplace to live. He com-mended those members
who have shownthrough example manywonderful acts of kind-ness, compassion, andlove to their fellowhuman beings. "To loveis uppermost in the Lionsfamily."
Two words that aremost cherished arehands and hearts, andStevenson stressed theimportance of helping toshare the hurt of fellowhuman beings, and thateach and every act ofkindness is an adventureof the heart.
Stevenson's heart feltwords and stories, along
with many wonderfuljokes, brought muchlaughter and some tearsto members eyes, whocame to their feet follow-ing his speech.
The power of one canaffect so many, andthere's no doubtStevenson has and willcontinue to offer invalu-able support and encour-agement to members inBruderheim and beyondas the internationalhumanitarian organiza-tion continues to make adifference in livesaround the world.
According to Lions

Despite the fact statis-tics for the federal censuswere recently released,the Town of Bruderheimwill be conducting a cen-sus of its own in the nearfuture.
"The last federal cen-sus put our population at1,155; but we have hearda lot of feedback fromresidents who say theyweren't counted," saidchief administrative offi-cer Troy Fleming. "Amunicipal census is themost accurate way for usto ensure we're getting acorrect count complet-ed."
"The Town ofBruderheim, like manyother municipalities,wants to ensure we havean accurate populationcount to ensure we aregiven our fair share offederal and provincialgrants. We also use thisinformation as an indic-tor on the health of ourcommunity," addedFleming.
Fleming anticipatesthe census will beginsometime in late Apriland estimated to cost inthe neighbourhood of$2,000. He added thatmany other municipali-ties are conducting amunicipal census thisyear including the Cityof Fort Saskatchewanand the Town ofRedwater.
