FOR SENIORS PROGRAM

Submitted by Evansburg RCMP

Evansburg, Alberta – Two peo-ple are facing several charges after getting a stolen truck stuck in a ditch last week in the rural Evansburg area.

On January 23, 2018 at ap-proximately 8:00 a.m., a passer-by reported a vehicle stuck in the ditch on Township Road 534. RCMP attended and determined the vehicle to be stolen and ar-rested the adult male and adult female inside.

Upon searching the vehicle it

was determined the vehicle was equipped with dashboard cam-eras. A subsequent investigation ensued and it was determined the cameras in the vehicle had recorded several more criminal acts in various communities al-legedly depicting the occupants of the stolen vehicle.

Evansburg RCMP continued to follow the evidence and were able to solve two separate ru-ral Break and Enters, identify property owners of 6 different electronics, recover stolen iden-tification and recovered an addi-tional stolen vehicle.

Jason Roy Gregory (39) of No Fixed Address has accumulated 54 Criminal Code Charges in-cluding possession of property obtained by crime over $5000. Gregory has been remanded into custody for a court appearance on February 12, 2018 in Mayert-horpe Provincial Court.

Sierra Seward (24) of Jasper has been charged with 6 Crim-inal Code offences including multiple counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5000.

Seward was released from custody for a court appearance on January 25, 2018.

“This illustrates how important it is to report suspicious vehicles and activity in the rural areas. This in-vestigation resulted from an obser-vant rural citizen who took the time to call us about a suspicious vehicle in the ditch. This could have been

something with the potential to be ignored given the time of year and generally snowy icy roads”, said Detachment Commander Brian To-pham.

We need your assistance. Coop-eration between the RCMP and the public is instrumental to the success of our Crime Reduction efforts. The simple act of reporting any suspi-cious activity and/or crime provides us with the necessary information by which we gather intelligence.

What defines a community? Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines it as “people with com-mon interests living in a particular area”. As a community we should always make sure we have activi-ties and social events for all ages and categories. This year Tipple Park Museum is proud to offer a Music Club and Game Night for our local youth grades 7-12.

Our Evansburg and Area Music Club launches February 16 from

7:30-9:30pm and will continue every last Friday of each month. We will be bringing in a profes-sional classic guitar player that will assist the youth in various musical exercises and theory. The goal of this program is to engage youth in their musical talent and eventually form a community band. There is no cost to join, but fundraising will most likely take place in the future. We ask every-one to bring their own musical in-strument, pen, notepad and talent! If you’re new to guitar and would like to learn, feel free to join and learn from our music community.

To register please phone or email Tipple Park Museum, 780-727-2240 or tippleparkmuseum@gmail.com

Pop in! Play games! Eat some snacks! Youth Game Night will also be taking place, start-ing March 1st from 6-8pm and will continue every first and last Thursday of each month. Games include Monopoly, Apples to Ap-ples, Checkers, Chess, Trouble, Scrabble, Nintendo Wii, Game Cube and others. There is a $2.00 cost per youth. The funds will go back into the program to buy food and new games. There is no

need to register. All walk-ins from grades 7-12 are welcome.

In the near future Tipple Park Museum will also be hosting a Youth Art Club which will con-sist of Jr. High and Sr. High artists joining together with profession-al artists to teach. Stay tuned for more information.

Evansview School, EvansburgJanuary has been a flurry of learn-

ing and physical activity for the students at Evansview. For the last two weeks of the month, all students from kindergarten to Grade 6 have had the opportunity to skate for one hour at the local arena each day. This is the first year that students in all grades have gone skating, and the excitement was contagious. It has been fabulous watching children gain their balance and confidence,

and whiz around the ice!February has always been a busy

month, and this this year will be no exception. On February 7th, stu-dents will be kicking off the start of the 4-day long weekend by partici-pating in our annual winter carnival. They’ll spend the afternoon outside, moving through different stations, while challenging themselves and others. They will also be participat-ing in three Indigenous games. Let the games begin!

The Grade 1/2 class will be cel-ebrating the 100th day of school on February 13th. Students will be completing a number of activities centered around 100, and are in-

vited to come to school dressed as though they were 100 years old. Also in February, the Grade 1/2 class is participating in the ‘Great Canadian Valentine Exchange’. The class made 20 Valentines and mailed one each to 20 schools across Can-ada, along with a letter showcasing Evansburg. In return, they are re-ceiving 20 valentines, and informa-tion about other communities. Each community is being marked on a map in the front entryway of the school. What a great and exciting way to learn about our community, other communities, and Canada!

Our Grade 6 class participated in a power exercise on racism this month, as a part of their, ‘Voices for Change’ unit. Based on the experi-ment that educator Jane Elliot came up with, students were separated by their eye colour: brown eyes and blue eyes. The blue-eyed students were then discriminated against. They weren’t allowed to use certain washrooms or water fountains, had to wear a coloured pinny, and were segregated from the rest of class. Students made some great connec-tions to what racism can look like, and the discussion after the exper-iment really showed how students where impacted by this exercise.

In junior high, the Grade 8 class started finishing up their Renais-sance unit with a variety of presen-tations. Students were assigned to research a topic of the Renaissance that they were more curious about, and created a presentation. Students created presentations on art and dance, sports, torture devices, and pirate ships. Students did a great job researching and presenting their knowledge.

UFA from the students and staff of Wildwood School! Drayton Valley UFA Farm and Ranch Supply Store donated the building materials re-quired for the kids to be able to have a shinny rink in the school field. A shinny rink is simply a makeshift winter hockey rink where the kids can play hockey in their boots with no skates required. Community volunteer Darrell Hunter came to the grounds to help the outdoor ed-ucation class put the rink together. From the moment it became use-able, it has been a huge recess time attraction. Ashley Chipiuk donated a set of hockey nets for either side of

the rink. Our school council donat-ed money for sticks and protective equipment for the goalies. The shin-ny rink is so popular that a second smaller shinny rink for the younger grades is being built out in the field alongside the larger one.

Ever have the ideas in your head come out faster than you can get them down on paper? Read & Write Google is the answer, and on World Literacy Day, January 26th, Wild-wood School students received in-tensive training from division tech specialist Amelia Bird on how to use ‘Voice to Text’ technology. Using a headset with a microphone, students can dictate phrases and sentences

that they wish to compose and Read & Write Google technology rapidly lays those words down onto a doc-ument. Excited students found it remarkable how well the technolo-gy knows what a person is actually trying to say. School trustee Brenda Rosadiuk was also present for the event. Grande Yellowhead has made Read & Write Google a part of the user platform for every student in the division.

Jonie Gerspacher organized Liter-acy Day events at the school again this year. Younger grades also re-ceived a celebrity guest appearance that day from Terrie Stone, treasured librarian of the Wildwood Public Li-

WEDDING COSTS: WHAT TO EXPECT Newly engaged couples may ex-

perience an array of emotions when they sit down to plan their wed-dings. Some couples cannot wait to jump into planning and want to catalog every aspect of the process, while others may proceed with cau-tion because they don’t know what to expect - particularly in regard to cost.

Many couples find it difficult to create their wedding budgets be-cause they have no previous ex-perience to draw on. The wedding planning advisor CostofWedding.com indicates the average wedding cost in the United States is $26,720, with most people spending between $20,000 and $34,000. Seventh Heaven Event Catering states that,

in Canada, the average wedding costs around $30,000. Such costs can vary greatly depending on cou-ples’ preferences, including where they hope to tie the knot.

By breaking down wedding ex-penses, couples can get a clearer picture of how much they may need to pay for their weddings and where they may need to cut costs.

· Reception site: According to The Knot, a premiere wedding planning resource, couples can expect their receptions to eat up the largest chunk of their wedding budgets. Wedding reception venues may cost between $10,000 and $15,000. The average price for catering per person is roughly $70. Bar service may be around $2,000 for a three- to four-hour party. Some reception sites combine the room cost with the food and beverage costs, while others have à la carte fees.

• Cake: Wedding cakes tend to be multitiered intricate designs, so they will cost more than birth-day cakes. According to Statistics Brain, wedding dessert will come in around $390.

• Music: The Knot says wedding bands cost around $3,500, which is more than twice as much as hiring a deejay ($1,200). Soloists or cer-emony musicians may cost around $650.

• Wedding planner: Many couples employ wedding planners to make planning their weddings easier. Wedding planners cost an average of $1,300, says Thumbtack, a com-pany that matches professionals with people who require their ser-vices.

• Transportation: Limousines and other transportation prices vary de-pending on the vehicle(s) couples choose. The Knot notes that bud-geting between $400 and $500 for transportation might be wise.

• Wedding gown: Brides-to-be should expect their gowns to cost around $1,100 and the veil or head-piece to be roughly $120, accord-ing to the Association of Bridal Consultants.

• Photography and Video: Pre-serving wedding day memories costs around $2,800 for video and photography services, based on data from Statistics Brain.

The smaller details, such as ac-cessories, gifts, officiant fees, sta-tionery, spa services, and favors can quickly add up as well. Cou-ples should be sure to leave some wiggle room in their budgets for in-cidental expenses that may pop up.

FROSTING-FREE CAKES THE LATEST TREND

A new trend is taking hold both in North America and on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Cakes are being pared down so that frost-ing and fondant coverings are now nearly absent from the confec-tions.

They’re called “naked cakes,” and these simplified desserts showcase the texture of the cakes and their fillings. According to culinary experts, the idea for the naked cake came from Chris-tina Tosi, owner of Momofuku Milk Bar. It’s an award-winning bakery with locations across the United States and Canada. Now many other pastry chefs and bak-ers are hopping on the naked cake bandwagon, with the trend being highlighted by the likes of Martha Stewart and the respected wedding

resource The Knot.Just because these cakes may

be short on exterior buttercream doesn’t mean they fall flat on fla-vor or visual appeal. Cakes can be embellished with fresh blooms, gum paste-molded flowers, edible pearls and gems, fresh berries, and much more. The Knot notes many naked cakes are garnished with fla-vors that are included in the cake, such as chocolate chips, crumbs, cookie dough, or candy sprinkles.

Couples who are stripping down their weddings to include more basics and natural effects may be drawn to these naked cakes. They’re also an option for those who find frosting, buttercream and fondant too sweet for the palate. Naked cakes enable the interior flavors to really shine.

CHOOSING WEDDING COLOR PALETTES Some brides may feel beholden

to the color white on their wedding days, at least in regard to their gowns. Those who do often em-brace the opportunity to showcase their personal styles and set the mood for their nuptials by embrac-ing various colors throughout their ceremonies and receptions.

Color can be a critical compo-

nent when establishing the am-biance for a wedding. Color can evoke certain moods and set the tone for the day. Some colors work better together than others, so while choosing a color scheme may seem like an easy undertak-ing, some couples may find it re-quires more careful consideration than they first imagined.

According to the bridal guide A Practical Wedding, wedding col-ors can give couples a starting-off point for all of the other details of their weddings. This ensures the wedding ultimately has a cohesive look. Colors need not necessarily match, but borrowing on similar hues can make it easier to plan wedding party wardrobes, flowers,

table linens, and much more.Colors can come from anywhere,

but many couples try to coordinate their color schemes with the sea-son in which the wedding takes place. In fact, couples who are finding it difficult to decide on a palette can look to seasonal col-ors for inspiration. For example, pastels and blooming flowers can set the scene for spring weddings, while jewel tones and rich reds and greens may be fitting for winter ceremonies.

Some couples opt for more loosely defined color palettes, such as neutral and natural colors. Country and garden weddings can borrow ideas from the landscape, with natural linens paired with wildflowers. Using whites, grays and beiges enables couples to add a pop of color without overwhelm-ing the setting.

Brides magazine suggests that couples avoid choosing too many colors. A maximum of three with one metallic can ensure that things look cohesive without being over-the-top. Also, brides and grooms needn’t feel pressured by the “hot” colors of the moment. As with clothing and hairstyles, trends change. It is better to select colors that will stand the test of time and look good for years to come.

Couples may have to incorporate colors already at their wedding venues into their style. Fortunately many reception sites are outfitted in neutral tones to enable custom-ization.

The wedding resource The Knot also says having a basic knowl-edge of the color wheel can help. Typically, colors that pair well to-gether are those that are opposites on the color wheel. Also, colors that share proximity on the color wheel will have similar tones and play well together. Examples of opposite colors include purples and yellows, reds and greens, and oranges and blues.

Couples should not be afraid to take some chances with their color palettes, especially if they want to make a bold and modern statement.

YELLOWHEAD COUNTYCOUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

Submitted by Stefan Fels-ing, Communications Coor-dinator | Yellowhead County

January 23, 2018Public Participation Policy

– Council adopted the revised Public Engagement & Communi-cations Policy which includes the addition of public participation options that can be used when looking for public input from residents and other stakeholders. These opportunities for feedback can help better inform decisions made by the County on a variety of issues ranging from open hous-es and surveys to Public Hearings and public presentations.

Dust Control Fees Change – The dust control fee to residents will be formula based, and set at 33% of the previous year’s costs of application. The 33% is cur-rently about the same as the $200 flat rate fee but will reflect the costs for the suppressant materi-als as they fluctuate. Dust control will continue to be applied at no charge to school zones, play-grounds, major intersections, and railway crossings.

Edson Rec-Plex Sale – A letter is being sent from Yellowhead County Council requesting the Town of Edson to place a sus-pension on the sale of the Edson and District Recreation Complex until the Town and County have finalized a long-term plan on re-gional recreation facilities that are used by both Town and Coun-ty residents in the Edson area.

New Landfill Zoning – A new bylaw for landfills specific zon-ing has received first reading by Council. Any new or proposed landfill or composting facilities would require the developer to apply for the area to be rezoned to this Landfill and Composting (LC) District. This rezoning al-lows any concerns to be heard at a Public Hearing and helps regulate landfill and composting developments and encourages de-velopers to locate them on Crown land away from residential settle-ments.

Bylaw 17.17 Passed – Passing of Bylaw 17.17 rezones a prop-erty located west of Edson Es-tates from Rural District (RD) to Country Residential District (CR). The rezoning allows the property owners to move ahead with their application to subdi-vide the property into five addi-tional Country Residential (CR) parcels.

Assessment Review Board Appointments – Brian Brough-ton, David Russell and Sandra Cherniawsky were appointed to the Local and Composite As-sessment Review Boards. The Local Assessment and Compos-ite Assessment Review Boards are established for the purpose of hearing assessment appeals and are comprised of both members

of the public and members of Yellowhead County Council as directed by the Alberta Municipal Government Act.

The next Council Meetings are February 13 & 27, 2018. The next Governance & Priorities Com-mittee Meeting is February 20, 2018. All meetings start at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers.

WE ARE OUR STORIES.WE ARE KIDS AT HEART.

Submitted by Dan Ivanov, Communications Coordi-nator | Yellowhead County

This year the Yellowhead County Heritage program will partner with Yellowhead County libraries and the Tipple Park Museum to bring our community a deep slice of local history. We are calling the project: We are our stories.

We’ll be talking with current and former locals from every corner of the county and we’ll gather stories, pictures, and memories for your

reading pleasure. We hope it’ll in-spire you to share your stories.

Our first look at the county’s past comes courtesy of Joyce Wilkins, former Mountain Park resident.

We are our Stories. We are Kids at Heart.

Decades ago, Mountain Park had a stake in the vitality of the Alberta Coal Branch. This was a small min-ing town in a sparse constellation of similar towns stretching south of what is now Highway 16.

These towns drew both Canadians and immigrants in search of work.

Joyce’s family of her father’s side emigrated from the Ukraine and moved to Mountain Park in 1942. “My grandfather initially went to Mountain Park to find work, and then he got hold of my dad and told my father that there was work avail-able in the mine.”

The life of an early 20th century miner was a hard one. “I remember at least one miner being killed in the time we were there, and it was our next door neighbor.” An older min-er had perished in a mine collapse.

The cramped conditions of the

mine even creeped into the homes of newcomers. “We lived in a house on top of the hill, which I under-stood was a railroad car divided in half for two families,” notes Joyce, “It was very basic inside. No run-ning water, but we did have power. My mother had a chicken coop so she kept chickens. There was an outhouse of course.” In time, those who made a home of the railroad cars would find preferred accom-modations—below the hill, regular houses were nested around the local school.

Still, Joyce remembers these houses for their quirks, if you can call staying warm a quirk: “When the wind blew, the linoleum which wasn’t glued down, would just lift a bit.” The houses weren’t well insu-lated and staying warm was a mat-ter of stoking a stove or coal burn-ing heater and even getting dressed on chairs to avoid frigid floors!

Despite the unease of cold morn-ings, Joyce reveals that she took everything in stride: “We never remembered it as being sort of un-comfortable. You know how you are as children.”

Though the mining town of Mountain Park would shrink and altogether disappear in the 1950s—near a decade after Joyce’s family settled there—her and many oth-ers’ memories still remain. Joyce’s childhood stories remind us that hardship or not, parents will strive to bring their children small joys, if not big opportunities. But most in-credibly, this Mountain Park kid is proof that childhood is blissful, and children have a knack for making the best of every moment.

The We are our Stories project kindly invites anyone who has a story of the past, whether short or long, to participate! Please contact the Yellowhead County Heritage Department, a Yellowhead County Library branch, or the Tipple Park Museum. We’ll gladly provide you with a transcript of your story and digitize any photos you bring to us.

To read this story in its entirety to find out about day-to-day living in Mountain Park and what they did for entertainment including recre-ation, musical entertainment, and community events go to www.yel-lowheadcounty.ab.ca and search for We are our Stories.
