HOT OFF THE PRESS FROM THSTwo Hills Students Love

Vocabulary

Grade 5 and 6 Students at Two Hills School continue to enjoy enhancing their vocabulary us-

ing Membean, a unique learning tool that helps students learn and remem-ber words. Our students piloted the innovative program last year, which came highly recommended by Literacy Consultant Mrs. Lana Lane. This year, our students have access to a school-wide membership.

Membean provides guided, engaging multimodal vocabulary instruction that helps students retain what they have learned. Instruction is customized to each student and is based on his/her ex-isting skill level and speed of progress.

According to Language Arts teacher, Mrs. Serfas, “Knowing the meanings of words, and being able to use them, is an essential skill for both reading comprehension and effective writing.” Students typically engage in three 15 minute vocabulary ‘training’ sessions each week. The program can also be ac-cessed from home at no cost to families.

Here’s what students have to say about this learning tool:

Jyo: “I enjoy learning with membean because it gives you lots of challenging words to stretch your brain. It’s like ex-ercise for your brain!”

Miles: “I like how membean shows a video for each word. I can watch a vid-eo and learn what a word means. For example, I learned the word prefer by watching a video about people tasting different kinds of pop in Australia!”

Madison: “I like Membean because I can use audio to listen to the words that I’m learning.”

James: “It is a fun, interactive learn-ing experience that helps you expand your vocabulary and at times makes you laugh because the way it teaches you is fun and humorous.”

Grade 5 Science UpdateLast week, Grade 5 students conduct-

ed an experiment with Tic Tacs, those small hard mints. How long would it take for them to dissolve? The results are in! Tic Tacs in vinegar: 3-5 hours to dissolve. Tic Tacs in water: 24 hours to dissolve, Tic Tacs in pop, 54 hours to dissolve, Tic Tacs that had been crushed and then put in water - 60 minutes, Tic Tacs which were stirred in water - 15 minutes.

CARS Visits Two Hills SchoolGrade 5 and 7 students participat-

ed in Inside Education’s Clean Air Responsible Schools action project on Tuesday. Facilitator, Chelsea Brooks lead students through an interactive session where they learned about what makes up the air we breathe, what components of air are good and why we would want to decrease our emissions of greenhouse gases. Students also gained some experience doing readings of the particulate matter in the air, in different areas of the school. The Grade 5 class was inspired by another school in Edmonton that implemented a no-idle zone at their school and are now looking into what it might take to make this a policy at THS.

Food + Increasing Patterns = Math

Working on increasing patterns in math doesn’t sound all that interesting, but when math/home ec teacher Mrs. Elkow is leading the class, it turns into a mouth-watering event! Students in her Math 5 class spent Thursday morn-ing learning how to increase amounts of ingredients from one recipe of bannock to five recipes, enough to feed twen-ty “hungry” growing bodies. Everyone took turns measuring, mixing, cooking, cleaning and of course, enjoying the end product.

Lucas Nickiforuk and Mason Luttzak are enjoying their bannock with rasp-berry jam and butter.

Farm Wife Diaries - Hibernation

By Deb Barber

So, it turns out that I have a mild case of ‘tennis’ elbow on my right arm; this is somewhat astounding

as I haven’t lifted a tennis racket in over fifteen years! However, as I understand it’s repetitive movement that can cause a flare up and, in my case, it has been the repetitive shovelling of snow. Farm-er Hubby is somewhat baffled as he is wondering why I would suddenly have this affliction when I’ve been shovel-ling snow for years without any reper-cussions. I tried to explain it could be a combination of ‘old age’ and the new di-rective to ‘throw’ the snow a minimum of ten feet off the upper deck. He has con-ceded that I can once again ‘just’ shovel the snow over the deck, and he will (with a big sigh) deal with the snow bank this will create. I stick to my original prem-ise that in July it will melt no matter where it is shovelled. Thankfully after a few days rest the elbow is once again good as new and not a moment too soon as there is some snow in the upcoming forecast.

Some of the issues from harvest 2018 have spilled into the new year and this found Farmer Hubby tucking himself into bin tops to remove some heated wheat that was forming a crust and keeping the heat from transferring out of the grain. For him a cooler (okay cold-

er) day holds a certain attraction to do this as it prevents him from overheating as well. From my point of view, it simply encourages me to pace at a faster rate as I dislike him being on or in the grain bins at the best of times. Our granddaughter shares my concerns as she was staying with us and when she saw him a top of one bin she was yelling; “Papa be care-ful,” as he couldn’t make out what she was saying he stood there waving and calling “Hello” back to her which caused her more concern as she was worried he would lose his balance and plunge to the frozen ground. After a couple of days of work, it appears the crusts have all been removed and good circulation and air flow has been restored for now.

As I try to motivate myself to take my daily outside walk, I attempt to steer my mind away from the mind-numbing tem-peratures by monitoring the various an-imal tracks around the yard. Although well hidden, the number of tracks I am seeing leads me to believe that I either have a healthy rabbit population OR a couple of rabbits that are moving around a considerable amount. We also have three grouse that like to come forage in the sunflower seeds on milder days, upon checking with Google I discovered seeds are not one of their favourite foods, but I guess since its free and easily available

al anthem followed by the Pryvit or “welcome” dance as performed by all the members of the dance group. The Canadian national anthem echoed through the hall and the smallest dancers then took to the stage with the assistance of senior dance member Madison Isley. A number of other re-gions of the Ukraine were represented in the various dances presented by the other age groups as well as the “Babas” also known as the adult group.

The final performance pf the evening was the Story of Malanka skit which was narrated by instructor TJ Fenton.

The story is based on the creator god Praboh, and his four sons and one daughter. One of his four sons was the Devil, and one daughter, an earth goddess named Lada, who had two

children; a son called the Moon and a daughter “Spring-May”, later referred to as Malanka. In the Chudovyi’s ver-sion of the myth, Malanka’s evil uncle the Devil, desired her presence in the underworld and abducted her one day when the Moon was away. While she was in the grips of the Devil, the Earth was left without spring and once she was saved, flowers began to bloom and greenery spread around the world.

Ukrainians around the world cele-brate Malanka to symbolize the onset of spring.

A full Ukrainian meal was served which included corn meal, cabbage rolls, roast potatoes, chicken, roast beef and all the trimmings to go with before the Edmonton-based dance band Steppe took over the stage and had people dancing polkas and two stepping the night away.

The silent auction fundraiser had bidders frantically trying to be the top bid to claim some of the many great items in the sale door prizes were awarded to the lucky winners, and the crowd was wowed by the tricks and fancy dance steps during the Kolomey-ka dance, rounding out the evening’s festivities.

The youngest and smallest of the Chudovyi dancers found their way to the stage with the assistance of senior dancer Madison Isley. The members of the Beginner group are Katie Anderson, Sadie Bielesch,

Emma Fundytus, Kashlyn Morris, Ava Nott and Stella Nott.

The cast of the Malanka skit returned to the stage to take a bow which was honoured with a huge round of applause from the audience.

Tiffany Tomlinson, a member of the Innisfree adult dancers, co-emceed the Malanka event and also was one of the greeters at

the door offering beverages to the guests and toasting the evening’s

celebrations.

Two Hills Students Hit The Ice

Mr. Shaun Peters, Two Hills School Physical Education Teacher/Athletic

Director

The 2019 elementary curling sea-son is in full swing at Two Hills School. Elementary students

from Grades 4 to 6 get the unique op-portunity to learn the game of curling at our beautiful new facility in Two Hills.

Curlers will have the opportunity to practice in a six week season which will see Mr. Peters senior high PE stu-dents and curling athletes, help teach the skills of sliding properly out of the hack, directional sliding, turns, curling positions and strategies of the game.

We are one week in, and the students have been showing great growth and development already, I can’t wait to see

the progress that takes place in both our athletes and high school leaders at the end of the six weeks!

beggars are not choosers.During the Christmas holidays one

late afternoon we noticed the cat was highly agitated at the basement pa-tio window sprinting back and forth. Upon inspection we saw the tiniest lit-tle white weasel racing around on the cement. It was only a few inches long and had the tiniest of waist, it would dive into the man-made snow bank and then poke out its head checking things out with its beady black eyes. We have not seen it since and figure this was a one-time visitation and the sunflower seeds must have held little or no inter-est in this instance.

Being confined to the house on these colder days has turned the cat into a

creature of craziness. He races from one end of the house to the other chasing imaginary creatures, sometimes skid-ding around corners and occasionally slamming into doors or windows. His newest manner of dealing with ‘cabin fever’ is to walk the railing on the stair case that separates the upstairs from the down.

My January blues were chased away one evening by attending the speak-ing engagement held at the Mannville School, listening to Dr. Jody Carring-ton and her motivational talk “It Takes a Village”. Using a word like WOW is probably not appropriate in the world of journalism but if you ever have the opportunity to listen to this colorful and humours lady I would highly rec-ommend attending.

Neck Yoke Bunch Spurs Local Support

The members, new members and invited guests of the Vegre-ville-based Cartier’s Neck Yoke

Bunch “rounded up the herd” on Sat-urday, January 19 at the Elks Hall in Vegreville for another annual get-to-

gether fundraiser. The organization holds the event each year to raise a few dollars for the chuckwagon and chariot support group as well as for local and Alberta charities.

Organization president Jerry McCar-ty addressed the attendees and thanked everyone for coming out considering the weather that evening. He gave a run-down on the group’s activities over the past year and the various chuckwagon and chariot drivers and organizations the Neck Yoke Bunch has supported.

The evening consisted of a silent auc-tion as well as a live auction hosted by well-known auctioneer and Cartier family member Terry Cartier, who had the crowd laughing in their seats with his antics.

At this year’s annual event two presentations were made and cheques

were given to KidsSport and Vegre-ville Meals On Wheels. Cartier’s Neck Yoke Bunch representative Jim Carti-er made presentations to Len Bullock for the KidsSport organization, and ac-cepting on behalf of Meals On Wheels was Connie Baxandall. A third pres-entation will be made in the coming days to the Haying In The 30s organ-ization.

The Cartier’s Neck Yoke Bunch mandate is to promote and support the sport of chuckwagon racing both in Vegreville and across the province.

tion for about a year and a half but the doors are now open for clients want-ing to take advantage of the comforts the clinic can offer. Routine spay and neuters, vaccinations, surgeries and emergency services are now part of Dr. Copland’s in-clinic services.

The clinic also saw the addition of veterinary technician Christine Gar-nier who will be assisting Dr. Copland with the day-to-day operations and services at the clinic. Garnier brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in the veterinary clinic set-ting.

Copland adds that the two-woman team is continuing to organize things

Dr. Tawnya Copland has been practicing veterinary medicine since 2004 and moved her practice to the Innisfree area in October of

2006. The veterinary has now expanded the services she offers to her clients as her new clinic opened its doors this month providing a wide range of small animal in-clinic services. Pictured here is Dr. Tawnya Copland and her family, son Chase Forsyth, husband Cory Hlus, and

It Takes A Village

By Deb Barber

Despite frosty temperatures the Mannville School gymnasium had a full house on January 17,

the evening Dr. Jody Carrington gave her “It Takes a Village” presentation. The evening was hosted by the Mann-ville School Council with the financial assistance from many sponsors from the Mannville, Minburn and Innisfree communities.

Carrington was charismatic and en-gaging as she spoke to the crowd about becoming ‘connected’ to our children, spouses and the other important people in our lives. Originally from the Viking area and now located near Olds, Alber-ta, Dr. Carrington keeps her time filled with pubic speaking, clinical work and most recently writing her book, “Kids These Days”.

She shared with the audience that at a young age she knew she wanted to “help people” never dreaming of the wide scope this simple statement would come to mean to her.

Graduating as a Registered Clinical Psychologist in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts with Distinction from the Univer-sity of Alberta, she did a yearlong in-ternship with the RCMP. This sparked a deep appreciation of police work and the trauma experienced by service people and the need in the industry to address the effects this was having on police, paramedics and firemen to name a few. She found herself drawn to pursuing a career working in Police Psychology.

After a time, her interests started to veer towards working with families af-fected by trauma. Her pre-doctorial res-idency was completed in 2006 in Nova Scotia. As she worked with both adults and children, she felt herself drawn to understanding the ‘stories’ of children, especially those with difficult experi-ences.

Returning to Alberta she accepted a position at the Alberta Children’s Hos-pital in Calgary where she decided to broaden her studies with the goal set to learn how to ‘connect’ and then taking this even a step further to share with others; parents, grandparents, coaches and members of every child’s ‘village’ how to recognize and incorporate the

skill of ‘connection’.Along the way she ‘acquired’ a farmer

husband and three children (which in-cludes a set of twins). She has learned there is nothing like ‘hands-on’ experi-ence to teach the teacher about teach-ing.

Weaving bits and pieces about her own experiences with a huge serving of humour and relatable antidotes her two hour talk slipped by while she held her audience spellbound with her gift of intertwining stories with learning.

She is a gifted speaker, able to break down complex concepts into bite size pieces which in turn left us all with some old concepts revisited and re-charmed. After listening to her speak we all were left with some hands-on examples of how each one of us can con-tribute to the raising of all the children in our Village. Not to mention some not-so-subtle hints and challenges to spark some renewed interest in our own marriages and methods to improve relationships with our co-workers.

To find out how to order Dr. Carring-ton’s book or to learn more about her and her upcoming speaking engage-ments please check out her website at www.drjodycarrington.com.

A draw was made at the end of the evening and the three lucky recipients of Dr. Carrington’s soon to be released book, “Kids These Days”, were Lana Maclean, Carolyn Sissan and Srishti Tiwari.

the area and also visited a beautiful Mazatlán church which was built in 1565 and is still being used for services. Mazatlán is the “land of the

Kinsella Rose Seniors NewsSubmitted by Hjordis Armitage

Happy New Year everyone! Thankfully Mother Nature was kind enough to bless us

with reasonably good weather over the festive season to allow for family travel and get-togethers without wor-rying about bad roads and frost bite. Let’s hope it continues until spring!

The Kinsella Rose Seniors held their first meeting of 2019 on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 9. Nine mem-bers were in attendance with Presi-dent Bob Cormack in the chair. The Christmas dinner at the Viking Tea House was discussed and all agreed it was a great outing. A big thank you to

the hospitality of the Viking Seniors who hosted the cards and games that followed that evening. All reported a great time.

Business was light other than floor curlers plans. January 11 saw them head to the NWSS (Calder) Bonspiel, January 31 they will head to Viking, February 5 to Mundare and February 8 to St. Paul.

For cribbage, Military Whist and floor curling, those competing will head to Fort Saskatchewan on Febru-ary 9 and last but not least, February 12 to Daysland.

The Whist party was held on Janu-ary 16 at 7:30 p.m. Lunch that evening was a potluck.

Mystifying Performance At Kinsella

Submitted

The Kinsella Performing Arts Guild and more than 200 guests were treated to the comedy and

magic of Travis Bernhardt and Wes Barker on January 19. The perform-ers spent the better part of two hours

interacting with the crowd and shock-ing them with their slight of hand.

Travis Bernhardt took the stage first and after an intermission with delicious snacks, appetizers and des-serts, Wes Barker finished the show. Gasps of amazement and laughter could be heard the entire evening. Many people were heard asking, “How did he do that?” or “Where did the balloon go?” as they walked out of the Kinsella Community Centre.

A great time was had by all and the season ticket holders are looking for-ward to the next show on February 9 when Russell DeCarle, former mem-ber of the band Prairie Oyster, will take the stage for the country music and country supper event.

If you would like more information on the upcoming show or next year’s season, contact Cheryl McKie at 780-385-5557.

hang up the phone and ignore any other correspondence with these people.

Winter Reading Program Meets Family Literacy Week

Submitted by Diane Ziomek, Mannville Centennial Public Library

We hope everyone had a won-derful holiday. On January 1 our Winter Reading Pro-

gram started, which runs through the months of January and February. It’s time to Get Your Mitts on a Good Book and log those hours. If you haven’t picked up your log sheets yet, it’s not too late. We have plenty here at the li-brary. There are prizes to be won from the Northern Lights Library System, plus our library has additional prizes.

Family Literacy Week is from Janu-ary 20 to 26, which ties in with the Win-ter Reading Program. Family Literacy Week encourages parents to read to, and with, their children; you’re never too young or old to enjoy the benefits of

reading. We are teaming up with Red Wagon ParentLink and hosting some fun activities here in the library on the afternoon of January 24. There will be games for the children, and library card holders are invited to join us for soup and a bun from 5 to 7 p.m.

A reminder also that our library hosts a Social Tea on the first Friday of each month between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to at-tend.

If you don’t have a library card, you can come in and get one. Annual Li-brary Card fees are: Under 18 – Free; Adults and Seniors - $11; and family is $16. We have a large selection of movies and books, and if you don’t find what you want here, we can always order it in for you. We may be a little library, but we do some big things.

Farrier Work 101 With Adam Waldner

When not riding on a chuck-wagon around a track fueled by four racehorses with the

Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association (APCCA) in the summer, Adam Waldner can be found in small and large facility barns at the ‘foot’ of the equine industry.

Waldner says he has always had a love for horses and has trimmed hooves for most of his life, but has been a pro-fessional farrier for more than ten years now, helping horses and owners keep on top of hoof trouble as well as regular routine maintenance. “If your horse doesn’t have good feet, you don’t have a horse,” he says.

Waldner took his training from the renowned Oklahoma Horseshoeing School in Purcell, Oklahoma, where he achieved a diploma in the Professional Horseshoeing Course.

“A lot goes into keeping a horse’s feet healthy,” said Waldner. “A properly trimmed hoof can play an important role in maintaining a horse’s overall health.”

The Hiway 16 News caught up with Waldner when he paid a visit to a long-time client’s barn near Lavoy, Alber-

ta, Mark and Margie Axten, where he went step-by-step through the process of shoeing a barrel horse by the name of “Rocket”, with shoes and snow pads, something Waldner says is common, and very helpful to the horse, this time of year.

Shoes alone can cause the horse to produce a pack of snow under the horse’s foot during winter so the snow pads offer the horse a flexible rubber

layer between the shoe and the out-er-wall of the foot which aids in clear-ing the snow from under the foot with each step the horse takes.

Waldner says when he meets with the horse it is best to let the horse get comfortable with the him which also gives the farrier time to properly assess the condition of the horse’s feet. That is when the work gets underway.

Waldner says any abnormalities on the horse’s feet can usually be fixed with a good trim, however some hors-es can require “corrective trimming or shoeing” to address any problems. Once the trim is complete, Waldner then fits a shoe to the shape of the horse’s foot, pounding the metal shoe on an anvil to achieve the correct fit. Once he is sat-isfied with the fit, Waldner then tacks the shoe to the horse’s foot, clenching each nail to the outer wall of the foot before top dressing the foot, providing the horse the correct balance and also giving the foot an esthetically pleasing look.

Waldner doesn’t always run into well-behaved horses like Rocket, but says it is in his best interests to remain calm, patient and use those opportu-nities to gently reassure and train the horses he works on, who most often become long-term clients of his. “If I don’t take my time with each new horse I work on, I could very well see future problems down the road, it’s that sim-ple,” said Waldner.

He adds that although he works for

the horse owners throughout Alberta, his real clients are the horses and says he works to ensure their hoof health is his top priority.

Adam Waldner operates Waldner Mo-bile Farrier Services and is based out of the Camrose area but travels around the Hiway 16 News reading area pro-viding hot, cold and corrective shoeing in aluminum and steel shoes, as well as general trimming services. For more in-formation on his services, Waldner can be reached at 780-678-4083.

Adam Waldner operates Waldner Mobile Farrier Services based out of the Camrose area, and has been working on area horses for more than ten years as a professional horse Farrier.

Paiten Axten and her barrel horse Rocket are pictured here right

after Adam Waldner applied shoes and snow pads to Rocket’s front feet. Snow pads help prevent the horse’s foot from accumulating a

“snow pack” under the foot.

winner of the 19 pot was Marie Ka-chuk.

For those readers who do not know the game the Nineteen pot is made up during the evening and anyone who does not have any points in their hand or in the crib puts a quarter and half a card into the pot, this is then drawn at the end of the evening.

It was a fun evening and many thanks to the Lodge for their refresh-ments and thank you to the Hiway 16 news for sharing our results with its readers.

The Rural Routes Featured At Perogies And JamSubmitted by Don Harfield,

Perogies and Jam

It was a cold and snowy night for the Rural Routes show at the Vegreville Sunshine Club on Saturday, Jan-

uary 19 as the doors opened at 6 p.m. and the music began to warm everyone up on this wintery evening. Emcee Don Harfield welcomed everyone to another local music event in Vegreville.

Perogies and Jam was pleased to have The Rural Routes perform in the first month of 2019.

The Rural Routes are an Alber-ta-based married music duo who share an East Coast and Southern Alberta pedigree. Alesha and Brendon Bondy first met in the small town of Rexton, New Brunswick when as early teenag-ers their love of music developed into a love for each other. They are now living in Leduc and perform regularly in Sher-wood Park, Edmonton and Calgary. As musicians and recording artists, they won the Country 106 Star Search con-test at the Vegreville Country fair last August. Having already recorded their first CD, they plan to be back in the re-cording studio in Calgary in May cour-tesy of Country 106.

The music began with the Open Mic session at 6:45 p.m. Local folksinger, Lorne Fill, was up first with the songs ‘Memories’, ‘Constantinople’ and Willie Nelson’s ‘On the Road Again’. Shirley Preuss then brought her harmonica

and played Scottish classics ‘Loch Lo-mond’, ‘Highland Lassie’ and the Irish favourite ‘O Danny Boy’. Country sing-er Darlene Thibault from Viking came on stage and performed ‘Coat of Many Colours’ and ‘Blue Kentucky Girl’. Shirley on harmonica and Lorne on acoustic guitar returned to the stage to perform as a duo with ‘You are my Sun-shine’ and the Newfoundland standard ‘I’s the B’y’. Finishing off the Open Mic session in fine style was young local fiddler Shade Clark with two fiddle tunes ‘Claude Brown Reel’ and ‘Willow Springs’.

The Rural Routes started their first

set at 7:30 with Alesha on vocals and acoustic guitar and Brendon also on acoustic guitar with ‘Seven Bridges Road’ followed by ‘Blue Moon of Ken-tucky’ and the ‘Tennessee Waltz’. Pick-ing up his Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, Brendon accompanied Alesha on ‘Small Town Girl’ which was the song they performed to win the Star Search event followed by another album track song ‘Real Good Night’. They told the story of how Brendon was born in St. Albert and then moved with his fami-ly to New Brunswick at the age of 13. They met each other while attending middle school in Rexton, NB and Bren-

don explained how he was captivated with Alesha’s strong compelling voice coming from one of the school rooms down the hall.

Returning to their music, Brendon on his electric guitar, sang the Johnny Cash tune ‘Get Rhythm’ with Alesha on acoustic guitar followed by Alesha sing-ing a great rendition of the Ron Hines’ song ‘Sonny’s Dream’. She then sang the Linda Ronstadt song ‘When Will I Be Loved’ followed by closing off their set with ‘Goin’ to Jackson’. Of note was Brendon’s ability to keep rhythm on the kick drum while playing guitar and backup vocals; very versatile!

During the break, audience folks went back to the kitchen for more Ukraini-an food (including perogies with jam), plates of Turkey Caesar Salad and snacks served up by Dwayne, Bob and Pete in the Sunshine Club kitchen.

In their second set, The Rural Routes sang a number of chart-topping hits and finished off at 9 p.m. with their favourite song which they co-wrote for each other ‘You & Me’. The audience rose to their feet to show their appreci-ation at the end of their set.

We thank our volunteers this evening including sound technician Peter Thi-bault, photographer Rob Hughes, and our greeters Darlene Thibault and Car-ol Larrivee. And to our music fans, we thank you for coming out on this snowy blowy wintry evening to join us at this Perogies and Jam event.
