RIDING UPDATE – WEEK OF FEBRUARY 19, 2018

RCMP BEATS

Submitted by Jim Eglins-ki, MP – Yellowhead

I spent most of the week trav-elling through the south and east end of the riding. I had meetings with students, business leaders, and members of municipal and provincial governments. I also attended another rural crime town hall.

On Monday, I spent the day at my Rocky Mountain House of-fice.

On Tuesday, I drove to Olds where I attended MP Earl Dreeshen’s town hall meeting

on rural crime in the area. This is an issue that affects rural prop-erties throughout Alberta, which is why I have been active as a member of the Rural Crime Task Force. I have held public meet-ings across our own riding (i.e. Breton, Peers, Caroline) with residents, community leaders, and local RCMP. I will continue to work towards identifying the underlying issues and bridging the gaps to ensure the safety of our rural residents.

I spent Wednesday and Thurs-day in Drayton Valley where

I met with MLA Mark Smith, Mayor Michael Doerksen, and Mr. Manny Deol of the commu-nity’s Clean Energy Technology Centre.

On Thursday afternoon, I visit-ed St. Anthony Catholic School in Drayton Valley. There, I met with grade six students to talk about the role of an MP and an-swer their questions on how the federal government works.

On Friday, I enjoyed a tour of the University of Alberta’s Health Sciences Education and Research Commons where they

are developing creative and inte-grated technologies for deliver-ing health care services. While there, I also attended Alberta Congress meetings over the weekend.

On Saturday, I attended an Alberta Caucus meeting before flying back to Ottawa on Sun-day. The upcoming week is ex-pected to be busy as the Liberal Government will be tabling their 2018 Budget on Tuesday. Look for my weekly update next Fri-day on the happenings of Parlia-ment.

RESTORATION WORK CONTINUES AT THE CARLAN SERVICES COMMUNITY

RESOURCE CENTRE

RCMP Beats

Submitted by Tara Gal-lant, Legislative Manager | Town of Whitecourt

Restoration of the Carlan Ser-vices Community Resource Centre is underway after a flood damaged areas of the facility on January 1.

Due to the extreme weather experienced in the region over the holiday season, the fire sup-pression system was damaged

causing the building to flood on the evening of January 1, 2018.

Both Town of Whitecourt staff and the Whitecourt Fire Department responded to the alarm. Despite crews being on-site within ten minutes of the alarm sounding, the facility sus-tained damage from the flood. The Town of Whitecourt would like to thank the the numerous staff and volunteer firefighters that spent several hours on New

Year’s Day cleaning up the af-termath of this flood. Effects of the flood can be summarized as follows:

• The Boys and Girls Club Af-ter School Care and Teen Cen-tre areas were only minimally impacted by the flood, and the flood did not affect their opera-tions.

• The Whitecourt Early Learn-ing and Childcare Centre was open January 2 and 3, but had

to be closed January 4 and 5 for restoration work. It is antic-ipated to be fully operational on Monday, January 8.

• The Whitecourt Food Bank experienced a large amount of food damage, but was open for regular hours of service on Jan-uary 2 and will continue to oper-ate as scheduled.

• The Whitecourt Gymnastics Club has cancelled its winter sessions until further notice as equipment was damaged.

• The Family Community Liai-son Program is still operational but has been relocated to remote offices until further notice.

Facility users should contact community organizations direct-ly for further information.

LAC STE ANNE AND COMMUNITIES RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION

2017 YEAR IN REVIEWSubmitted by Chris Yeo-

man | LSARA

LSARA had a busy 2017. We thought it would be a great time to reach out to the Ratepayers of Lac Ste Anne and let you know that we are an active, viable soci-ety which has gained the respect and recognition from many other associations much like LSARA. We kept all the folks who fol-

lowed us on our blog and Face Book page up to date with the on-going issues with Lac Ste Anne County. By holding public meet-ings, executive meetings, direc-tor and executive meetings and finally hosting two public forums for all to meet the candidates for the 2017 election, we stayed busy in our communities.

By the way, that takes a tremen-dous amount of effort to source

all the information we write about. First, we have to gather, verify and then write, review, edit and publish those articles. With-out the team of dedicated folks that we have, none of this infor-mation would have gotten out to you, the Ratepayers. We an-swered your questions or sought answers to the questions that we did not have the answers to. LSARA held public meetings for

all to attend and provide us their feedback and input. We continue to actively request information from Council and Administra-tion. In addition, we work with Government bodies such as Mu-nicipal Government, FOIP priva-cy commission to name a few.

The latter part of 2017, we continued to work towards ac-countability with our newly elected council, Reeve and Dep-uty Reeve. LSARA will hold the new council and administration to the same standards we expect-ed of the last council. It is our sincere hope that they will de-liver. Additionally, all who cam-paigned and were elected on their platforms of “Open, transparent, fiscally responsible, economic growth, openly communicate” will be asked to live up to their campaign promises. We act with the best interest of all, for the greater good of all. We are all Ratepayers just like all of you.

LSARA, Lac Ste Anne and Communities Ratepayers As-sociation, is a non-profit Rate-payers association that can only remain viable with your input, participation and your member-ship. Memberships are now due for 2018. Increasing our mem-bership allows us to become the Official voice of the majority that can ensure that the information gets out there. Your $20 fami-ly membership provides us the funds to utilize meeting venues, supplies, posters etc. Join us! Help us by gathering and provid-ing that information, attending council meetings, reporting back to us. Join us as a Director. With many it takes little time. With few it takes a great deal of time.

INCORPORATE FLOWERS IN VARIOUS WAYS Weddings are special moments for

couples and the guests they invite to share their happiness on their big days. Beautiful weddings require substantial planning, as every last detail must be considered for cou-ples to enjoy the wedding of their dreams.

Flowers play a big role in many weddings, and couples can add beauty and ambiance to the event by using floral arrangements in various ways. Modern floral arrangements are stunning, and many couples may not know that herbs, spices and flowers have been used in weddings for centuries.

Today, flowers are used to deco-rate wedding venues, impart sweet fragrances and complement formal attire, but in ancient times they were used differently. Flowers were used to bestow good luck on the couple and keep bad omens away. Brides carried aromatic flowers and spices to keep evil spirits from spoiling the festivities, and some even tucked bulbs of garlic into their bouquets. In ancient Greece and Rome, both the bride and groom wore garlands made out of strong-smelling herbs flowers around their necks or heads. These wreaths were considered gifts of nature, and thus extremely appro-priate for a wedding. Traditionally, bridesmaids would be responsible for fashioning these floral compo-nents. In ancient Sweden, young girls would carry small bouquets of fragrant herbs down the aisle and the groom would put thyme in his pock-et. These aromatics were thought to help keep trolls at bay.

Besides warding off spirits or hun-gry trolls, flowers also served more practical purposes throughout his-tory. During the Middle Ages, peo-ple bathed less frequently than they do today. Bathing might only have occurred twice a year, once during summer and then again at Christ-mastime. Because many weddings took place in the spring, flowers were used to mask bodily odors. Not only were flowers and herbs carried, but they also would be sewn into clothing.

Modern brides and grooms may no longer see their wedding days as times for opportunistic evil spirits. But that doesn’t mean that couples cannot borrow from ancient tradi-

tions and incorporate flowers into their weddings in various ways.

• Wreaths and garlands: Ask the florist to weave small flower buds, berries and vines to a headband, wreath or piece of twine so that the bride and groom can wear these flowers in the way they were worn by ancient Greeks and Romans. When coupled with Grecian-styled wedding gowns, brides can look like

beautiful goddesses on their wed-ding days.

• Fragrant favors: Tuck dried rose petals and other fragrant flowers into sachets that are embroidered with the wedding date and couple’s names. Guests can use these sachets to keep clothings smelling fresh in drawers or as subtle air fresheners around the house.

• Edible flowers: Ask the caterer

to make meals flower-friendly by including some edible blooms in the salad or as a garnish on meals.

• Raining petals: In lieu of bubbles or birdseed, guests can shower the newlyweds with rose petals after the ceremony.

• Memorial: Some couples like to honor departed family members. Floral arrangements with small plac-ards can make for fitting memorials.

DID YOU KNOW? Wedding insurance can provide

couples who are about to tie the knot with some peace of mind on their big days. Many wedding ven-ues require couples carry liability coverage in the case of accidents, injuries or incidents. But wedding insurance policies may even sur-

prise couples with regard to what they cover. Each policy is differ-ent, and couples may be able to customize wedding insurance poli-cies to cover a host of items. Many policies cover couples in the wake of cancellations or postponements due to weather, damage to the fa-

cility or even a change of heart on the part of the couple holding the policy. But some policies may pro-vide coverage for couples should their photographers and/or cater-ers fail to appear. Policies may also cover lost, stolen or damaged items, including equipment rent-

als, bridal growns, jewelry, and/or gifts. Couples should speak with their wedding venue repre-sentative to determine if the venue offers extended coverage and ulti-mately compare those offerings to policy estimates they receive on their own.

THE STEPS INVOLVED IN SECURING WEDDING VENUES, LICENSES

Getting married is an exciting time in a couple’s life together. Wedding planning is the next logical step after the engagement announcement, and while couples often get swept up in planning their dream parties, it’s important to note that ultimately the ceremo-ny is the star of the day.

Before booking a wedding re-ception venue or getting one’s heart set on a particular date, cou-ples need to secure their ceremony sites as well as apply for a mar-riage license. In some instances, ceremonies are held at the same site as the wedding reception, while some couples choose to tie the knot in their church or syna-gogue. Each of these types of cer-emonies will be governed by the schedule of the house of worship or civil site.

Finding a venueOnce couples choose a wedding

date, it is a good idea for them to visit their ceremony site of choice to check the calendar. It helps to have some flexibility in the wed-ding date in case the first choice is unavailable. Although summer weddings used to be the most pop-ular, today’s couples are tying the knot more often in September and October than other times of year.

Even though a couple’s wedding is special and unique to them, cer-emony locations handle hundreds of weddings. Couples must recog-nize that competition for certain venues may be steep, so it helps to keep more than one venue in mind when planning a wedding.

Getting a marriage licenseWhile laws may vary from state

to state within the United States, getting a marriage license general-ly involves filling out the applica-tion and paying a fee at the county clerk’s office. Both applicants are typically required to bring identi-fication, such as a driver’s license, passport or birth certificate. There may be a waiting period between submitting the application and the license being issued. Couples

can pick up the license or have it mailed to them.

Canadian requirements vary by province. For example, in Ontar-io, applicants need to be at least 16 years old to marry and must show two forms of government-sup-plied identification to apply. The

license is valid for 90 days from when it is issued.

A marriage license is not the same thing as a marriage certif-icate. The marriage certificate typically becomes available after the ceremony has taken place and the witnesses and officiant have

signed off on the preceedings.Getting married is a multistep

process that begins with determin-ing where the ceremony will take place and acquiring a marriage li-cense. With these items in check, couples can focus on creating memorable wedding days.

JEWELRY CARE AND CLEANING GUIDELINES Bridal gowns and tuxedos may

get their fair share of attention at weddings, but the subtle details of brides’ and grooms’ wedding attire also garner guests’ attention.

Breathtaking jewelry worn by the bride, groom and members of the bridal party looks great on the day of the wedding and in photos couples will keep for decades to come. Nat-

urally, engagement rings and bridal bands are the shining stars of the celebration. However, other pieces of jewelry also make for cherished accessories for weddings.

Bridal jewelry is an investment worth maintaining. According to a 2013 report by the Jewelers of America, couples spend an average of $4,000 on engagement rings and

more money on wedding bands. Considering several thousands of dollars may adorn the necks, fingers, ears, and wrists of bridal party mem-bers, individuals should learn how to keep their jewelry investments look-ing pristine.

Remove jewelry during hard workExercise caution when wearing

jewelry during strenuous activities

or when jewelry can be damaged. Also, watch when handling slippery substances such as soaps and oils, as jewelry may fall off and become lost. Instead, remove precious jewel-ry and store it in a safe location, such as in a jewelry chest or a drawer.

Use caution with beauty productsApply lotion, cosmetics, perfume,

cologne, and hairspray before put-ting on jewelry. These substances can discolor certain metals or even damage stones. Prolonged contact with perspiration and bodily oils also can cause discoloration over time. Gently wipe down jewelry with a soft cloth after wearing it to remove oils and sweat.

Be careful around swimming pools, spas and the ocean

Couples should remove jewelry before partaking in water-based ac-tivities on their honeymoons. Ac-cording to jewelry retailer Zales, chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry, causing color changes and even structural changes. Don’t risk jewelry falling off in the ocean. Store it in a secure location before diving in.

Beware the sun, tooThe Gemological Institute of

America, Inc. states that sunlight can affect the durability and color of colored gemstones. Over time and in excess, the sun and heat can fade or damage some stones, such as ame-thyst, topaz and pearls. Other stones can darken with exposure to the sun.

Clean jewelry with careRely on mild detergents and a

light touch when cleaning jewelry. Use products specifically designed for jewelry care, and read labels to ensure safety. The International Gemological Institute says seriously soiled jewelry should be profession-ally cleaned.

Inspect and know your jewelryRoutinely inspect jewelry to test

for any structural issues that can re-sult in breakage or lost stones. Make sure any suspected problems are re-paired promptly.

Ensure jewelry will last for years to come. Exercise caution when wearing pieces and clean and care for them properly.

ALBERTA BEACH LIBRARY ART WALL

MORINVILLE RCMP CHARGE FOUR MEN IN YELLOWBIRD HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION

Submitted by Chaddie Langman | Alberta Beach Municipal Library

The Alberta Beach library has been displaying interesting art piec-es on its art wall for over a year now. We have seen wonderful win-ter art from the students at Grasmere School, beautiful needle point art, the powerful photo display Redress, and some art from several local

young artists. Currently the library is displaying

some amazing art work by a local youth named Scott Webb. Scott is 16 years old and goes to high school in Spruce Grove but was once a student of our very own Grasmere School.

He’s been painting since kinder-garten and you can see the result of all that patience and practice in his pieces. Scott enjoys painting with

acrylics and drawing with graphite; he has focused mostly on animals but is expanding into painting peo-ple and sceneries.

Some words of wisdom from Scott to all the aspiring artists out there: “If you really want to become a better artist you have to continually paint or draw more and more”.

Scott’s art will hang at the library for the all February so stop in and admire some fantastic local talent.

Submitted by Morinville RCMP

Update #1 – Investigators from the RCMP’s Major Crimes Unit (MCU) and the Morinville RCMP Detach-ment have charged four men with first degree murder in the investiga-tion into the October 17, 2017, dis-covery of Kevin Dean Yellowbird’s body in a rural area in Sturgeon County.

Investigators arrested and charged the four men on Thursday, Febru-ary 15, without incident. Charged

jointly with one count of first degree murder are the following individu-als:

• Sterling Devon Martin McGil-very (24) of Edmonton;

• Skylar Taurus McGilvery (21) of Edmonton;

• Tyler Edmund Fischer (31) of Edmonton;

• Cougar Dominique Fafard (24) of Edmonton.

All four men are scheduled to appear in Provincial Court in Mo-rinville on Thursday, February 22, 2018 at 9:30 a.m.

The RCMP investigation into Mr. Yellowbird’s homicide has deter-mined that it is not related either of the ongoing investigations pertain-ing to other two bodies located in rural areas near Morinville and St. Albert in October and November 2017 respectively. This was not a random incident and police are not looking for any other suspects in this investigation.

Additional information about this case will not be provided by the RCMP given that it is now before the courts.

BACKGROUND: Morinville RCMP investigate suspicious death

Morinville, Alberta – On the after-noon of Tuesday, October 17, 2017, members of the Morinville RCMP Detachment responded to a report of a deceased individual found in a ditch on a rural road in Sturgeon County.

The police investigation to date has confirmed the identity of the deceased man as 27-year-old Kevin Dean Yellowbird of Edmonton. Mr. Yellowbird also had ties to the com-munity of Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta.
