The Perogies & Jam group are sponsoring a Community Music award and a bursary. Also the Festival Committee ahs started a new award and plaque to honour Heather Soldan as well as a bursary. This award is a memorial for Heather, who is much missed. She was for many years a fiddle teacher and founder of the Fiddlin’ Kiddlins group. The award will be for the Best Violin Performance. The task of selecting that performance will go to the Strings adju-dicator, Jim Cockell, who is

coming to the festival for the first time. Violinist Jim Cockell was born and educated in Edmonton, Alberta. He received degrees in English and Music Theory from the

University of Alberta while studying violin privately. His teachers included Ranald Shean, James Keene, Norman Nelson and Tom Johnson. Jim has played with the symphony orches-

tras of Edmonton, Saskatoon and Red Deer, the Alberta Baroque Ensemble and the National Ballet of Canada. He has also recorded, broadcast and toured internationally with his own ensemble, Cifra. Also new to the Festival is the Speech Arts adjudica-tor, Annette Loiselle. Annette, a working actress living in Edmonton, has an extensive and varied resume. She is a founding member of the Free Will Players and SkirtsAf ire HerArts Festival. She is involved in teaching and coaching through, for example, Camp Shakespeare and the Citadel Theatre School in Edmonton and as far away as the Merton International School in Ghana (West Africa). She has recently starred in the play “The Mothers” by Nicole Moeller at the Black Box Theatre in Edmonton. Annette has credits for many acting and directing roles in the Citadel Theatre, Northern Lights Theatre, The University of Alberta among many others. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (with Distinction) Acting, from the University of Alberta, 1986-1989; Intermediate Drama Program, Banff School of Fine Arts,

Mireille has appeared with the Alberta Baroque Ensemble, Pro Coro Canada, Concordia University Chorus and Orchestra, Opera Breve Vancouver, Western Concert Opera, Opera Lyra Ottawa, and in productions supported by Edmonton Opera. She has been heard as the inimitable Julia Child in Lee Hoiby’s Bon Appétit!, an operatic version of one of Julia’s cooking shows, which brought her critical acclaim in Vancouver and at the Edmonton Fringe. Mireille is also in demand as a cabaret singer. She pre-sented her cabaret Brie, Baguette and a Broad at the Edmonton Fringe Festival and was cast in Edmonton’s

professional French theatre L’Unithéâtre’s production of the cabaret Le Lapin enivré. In 2013, Mireille appeared in the Edmonton Fringe in the critically acclaimed Lost in Montmartre, a cabaret/wake in honour of the com-poser Erik Satie, where “...classical singer Mireille Rijavec is the sublime vocal highlight who helps you get lost in Satie’s Paris.” (Edmonton Journal) Upcoming performances this fall include Vivaldi’s Gloria with the Richard Eaton Singers and the Alberta Baroque orchestra, and Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer with the newly formed Edmonton Metropolitan Orchestra. Mireille has been heard many times on the CBC as a soloist and has been a core member of Alberta’s profes-sional choir, Pro Coro Canada since 2001.

After 25 years of teaching he is at home working with people of all ages and enjoys the chal-lenge of conducting and giving clinics to larger ensembles.

Adjudicating the Ukrainian Language classes is Natalia Toroshenko. We welcome Natalia back to the festival. Well known to the com-munity in several capacities, Natalia really needs no introduction. A teacher by profession, Natalia was elected in 2004 as munici-pal councillor in the Town of Vegreville and through re-election served a total of 9 years, including periods as Deputy Mayor. Since February this year she has

Rosanne Fortier St. Martinvilles has their

own radio station that has

an assortment of all the

students’ tastes in music in

it.

“Students run this radio

station. We interviewed

the DJs. The station has

teams of DJs, two DJs are

in the morning, two at

recess, and two are at

lunch. They make a play

list of country, rock and a

variety of songs they like.

There is also a suggestion

box where all students can

request certain songs.

Then all the music is

screened to make sure it’s

appropriate for children to

hear and has a positive

message behind it.” Mr.

Dumont, Principal said.

“Our goal is to bring more

happiness and pump up

the kids to be more posi-

tive for school.”

“My role is making sure

the DJs do what they are

supposed to do. But this

isn’t hard because the team

is easy to work with. I find

the songs; download them

for the crew and I DJ too.

I enjoy this job because I

like to be part of some-

thing that makes people

happy.” Brendan, Radio

Manager said.

“I really like being a DJ

because I get to play a lot

of different types of music.

I’m learning how to play

different songs over the

internet in the machine

they use and it’s easy to

operate but it can be hard

to find music that every-

one likes. Yes, I would like

to be a DJ when I grow

up.” Keaton, DJ said.

“I like being a DJ because

I have been around music

most of my life, my Dad

was in a band and I play

the guitar.” Shayne, DJ

said.

“I like this job because I

really like music. My

favorite type is country

and old rock. It’s fun to

select the music that the

other students will like

and I enjoy being with my

friends.” Colby, DJ com-

mented.

“I’m in grade three and

my responsibility is turn-

ing on the music, it’s fun

because I like music a lot.”

Submitted It has been another busy

year for the Bands at

VCHS, and there are still

many events to come before

the end of the school year.

Our first big event of the

year was our annual

Christmas Concert which

was held on December 17

at the school. There were

Band performances from

our 8/9 Band, our new

Junior Jazz Band, our

Senior High Band, and our

always amazing VCHS

Jazz Band.

There were also some

wonderful vocal perfor-

mances, including a vocal

solo by Claudia Lillies.

There was also a vocal

quartet featuring Claudia

and the talented Baldwin

kids: Mary-Anne, Caleb

and Kristen.

Highlights of the evening

included the 8/9 Band per-

forming “Concerto

Extremely Grosso”, the

first performance of our

new Junior Jazz Band, the

Senior High Band per-

forming musical highlights

from “Frozen”, and our

Jazz Band performing

“Happy” from Despicable

Me 2.

The evening culminated

with our Symphonic Band

(a mass-band combining

our 8/9 Band with our

Senior High Band) per-

forming some Christmas

favourites like “Frosty the

Snowman” and “Rudolph

the Red-Nosed Reindeer”,

and what has become our

annual Christmas Concert

finale, “We Wish You a

Merry Christmas”. It was a

great evening for all.

The New Year brings

many new events for our

Band students. Three

members of our Senior

High Band (Christina

Nawrot, Barbara Rybchuk,

April Siggelkow) took part

in the annual University of

Alberta Honour Band

weekend, which took place

on campus in early

February. The students

took part in two days of

intensive rehearsals with

two distinguished conduc-

tors.

The weekend concluded

with a gala concert at the

Winspear Center in

Edmonton. A highlight of

the concert was all 190

Band students on the stage

performing a song with the

Davis Concert Organ.

Our students learned a

lot, had some fun, met fel-

low Band students from all

over Alberta, and got a rare

Karen McQuarrie was

born in the Phillipines in

a city of millions. From

there she immigrated to

Canada, met her husband

Will, and lived in Calgary

in a city of over a million.

Now, the pair and their

children live in Minburn,

which is the near opposite

of a million people. “My

husband likes it because

I’m an hour and a half

from any shopping malls,”

Karen laughed. “Seriously,

we’ve come to love living

out in the country.

Owning a store in

Vegreville, I really like it;

this small-town feel.”

Karen’s business offers a

downtown boutique

approach to children’s

shopping, with a range of

products for little ones

aged baby to toddler, all

of which are designed to

make life a little easier

for parents, if not more

charming. Pretty Country

Boutique opened doors in

early December just in

time to catch the

Christmas shopping rush.

Karen said she’d been

selling her hand-made

tutus at local farmers

markets when she decided

to approach the local

Economic Development

off icer, who suggested

her current location

downtown.

The store is filled with

headbands, tutus, baby

neckties, miniature blan-

kets, wreaths (the kid-

friendly variety), toys,

clothes, baby toms for

toddlers for the fashion

conscious moms, and, of

course treats for mothers

such as handbags and

jewelry. Karen said she

rotates her stock every

few months to stay fresh

and will soon be adding a

Teddy Mountain feature,

which is similar to the

popular Build-a-Bear

store where kids can pick

out a new favourite teddy

and stuff it themselves.

Located at 5114-50

Boutique is in the heart

the grade 9 students from

Westminster Junior High

in Edmonton for three days

of group rehearsals, clinics

on their instruments, and

lots of fun times!

Our Spring Concert will

Practice MakesPerfect

Years ago, I worked my waythrough law school by teachingpiano lessons. When I passedthe bar, I put that job behind me,or so I thought.

Many years later while plead-ing a client's case to the court,the judge looked at me and askedif I used to teach piano. It turnedout that I taught his son duringmy time in law school.

After hearing my case, he thenset judgment on my client."Despite having no priors, I'msentencing your client to twoyears probation," he said.

He must have noticed my dis-appointment because he contin-ued, "And for the record, that's afar lesser punishment than hav-ing to listen to my son practicepiano after your lessons!"

Fast FactsDear Classified Guys,I love music, but I certainly don'thave a musician's ear. When Ihum a tune at a red light, thecars next to me roll up their win-dows! My wife, on the otherhand, grew up playing the pianoand singing, but didn't playmuch while raising our threechildren. The other day we sawa piano in the lobby of a restau-rant where we were waiting. Ittook a little nudging, but Iencouraged her to play a tune.She sounded magnificentand those waitingeven applauded.Since her birthday iscoming and our kidsare all grown, I thoughtI'd surprise her with apiano of her own. I often see"free" pianos listed in our news-paper that say they just need atuning. I'm all for keeping some-thing out of the landfill, but with-out knowing much about theinstrument, how do I know ifthey are still good? Can I justpick one and get it tuned or isthere more to it than meets theeye?

• • •Cash: You're in luck. Being

able to carry a tune is not arequirement for buying a piano,although don't be surprised if no

one asks you to sing along!Carry: Despite a piano's simple

appearance, they are very complexinstruments. Their internal struc-ture of strings, hammers andsounding boards give them a beau-tiful sound when they are in tune,but parts can wear out, stretch orwarp if not properly maintained.

Cash: It is possible to find anolder piano for a reasonable priceor even free. The trick is to deter-mine which one is worth havingtuned or repaired. And since mov-ing any piano can be quite thetask, you want to make sure youonly do it once!

Carry: Before you invest toomuch time and energy hunting forthe birthday piano, it may be

worth surprising your wife withthe idea. Considering she is theone who will be playing, she mayhave a preference as to which styleor type she'd like to play and addto your home.

Cash: There are hundreds ofmanufacturers, each with a differ-ent "feel" and sound so the selec-tion can be quite vast. Herbackground with playing theinstrument can prove very helpfulto finding one in good condition.

Carry: Since your wife wasadventurous enough to play in arestaurant lobby, your gift idea issure to be well received. And whoknows, maybe one day she'llreturn the favor and surprise youwith singing lessons!

Black and WhitePiano brands like Steinway or

Baldwin are two of the originalmakers of pianos and have beenaround for a long time. Howevertoday, there are over 50 majorbrand-names of pianos, and in thelast 100 years there have been over5000 different manufacturers.Since about 75% of all piano buy-ers only purchase one piano intheir lifetime, choosing the rightone can take some time. There are13 different size categories ofpianos, with names like upright,baby grand or spinet, and eachhave their own style and soundquality.

piano players throughout history,but in the 1950's one stood out as avery flamboyant entertainer.Wladziu Valentino Liberace, com-monly known as "Liberace", wonthe hearts of millions.

In Canada, residents are taxed based on their world income. – Part-year residents must report all income from anywhere in the world after their arrival in Canada.

New Canadians are entitled to the GST credit after their arrival. – If they qualify, the amount received is based on their world income for the preceding year.

If the new resident has investment income abroad, they may be required to notify the payers of their Canadian residency status. Certain tax treaties provide for a reduced rate of withholding in the originating country.

Moving expenses to Canada are not deductible with one exception. – If the immigrant is a student studying at a post secondary level, moving expenses may be deducted against the taxable portion of any scholarships, bursaries fellowships, prizes or research grants he or she received.

Personal amounts and dependant claims may have to be pro-rated – depending on the period of residence in Canada.

Immigrants with children may qualify to begin receiving Child Tax Benefits shortly after they arrive if they meet certain conditions. Form RC66 (Canada Child Benefits Application) should be completed shortly after arrival.

New Canadians who own capital property such as buildings, art, gold and stocks should determine their Fair Market Value (FMV) on the day they established residence. – This constitutes the deemed cost for calculating any future capital gains and will ensure that when the property is sold they will only be taxed on the difference between the sale price and the value when they arrived in Canada. However, this does not apply to taxable Canadian property owned at the time of entry.

A tax professional at H&R Block can talk about other credits and deductions that may affect you.

NEW TO CANADA?P A R T Y E A R R E S I D E N T S N E E D T O F I L E T A X E S T O OPeople entering Canada can be classified as: non-residents, deemed residents or part-year residents. Although

the tax treatment and deductions differ for each classification, part-year residents are the most common type.

Here are some important tax tips that will help part-year residents:

‘cleats’ in this case, but I

will definitely try my

hardest to keep things

running smoothly,” Dean

said.

Dean’s enjoyed playing

baseball growing up and

in his adult years, and has

coached for the past three

years. Baseball is a passion

of his.

“We had an exceptional

turnout this past season

with 35+ kids in Tball,

20+ kids in the Rookies

Division, 15 kids in the

Mosquito Division, 10

kids in the Pee Wee

grateful to all of the mem-

13th annual VWF Gun Show a hit13th annual VWF Gun Show a hitRosanne Fortier

The 13th annual Vegreville Wildlife Federation Gun, Accessory and Home Biz Show took aim at the per-fect outing for all ages over the weekend of Feb 21-22. Approximately 1,000 out-door and hunting enthusi-asts of all ages took advan-tage of the opportunity to shop through 45 vendors from across Western Canada, via the 116 display tables at Vegreville Social Center. Vendors commented that they enjoy selling at this

show because it’s a great chance to socialize with other vendors and custom-ers who have similar inter-ests. Peter Varga is the President of Vegreville Wildlife Federation (VWF), Daryl Sapp and Al Rusnak are the Show Coordinators but this year due to circumstances, many of the executive and club members really stepped up to help out. This show is VWF major fundraiser and a way to showcase all this organiza-tion does. “VWF has an

archery club, shooting range, a bluebird trail and we send youth to Narrow Lake Camp. We are trying to expand our programs and give educational opportuni-ties to all the members, the youth and general public.” Varga said. This gun show had rif les, firearms, ammunition, war collectibles from 1920’s, 1930’s, hunting gear, home garlic sausage for the men and even jewelry for the ladies; everything a person could imagine. “Bill sold an old 22 Caliber gun within the first few minutes of the show. He made the gun stand himself and he tries to make his items reasonably prices, neat and attractive for the customers. I think that is his key to selling well.” Warrant Landblom from

Forestburg explained on behalf of Bill and Joanne Green. This table also had quick

detach bipods which stabi-lize rif les when shooting over longer distances. “A laser bore-sight is meant to be put in the bore of the rif le and then a red dot will appear on the wall and you

can sight it in with the scope. It helps to give you a quick sight in before you take it to the range to test if you’re shooting the right way. Bill mostly likes big scopes because he claims

The 13th annual VWF Gun, Accessory and Home Business Show on February 21 and 22 was a way to take a perfect shot to a one-stop shop-ping experience. (Rosanne Fortier/Photo)
