Herb’s journey with the Air Force eventually brought him to the 4 Wing Canadian Forces Base in Cold Lake in 1973. It was here that he spent six formative years teaching winter survival, a role that showcased not only his expertise but also his dedication to service. Herb’s career in the Air Force spanned 26.5 years, a period during which he built a reputation for hard work, reliability, and an indomitable spirit.

In Februar y of 1980, Herb made another life- changing decision: he moved to Vermilion and purchased a house. Just a few months later, in May of 1980, he applied for a position as a fertilizer technician with Webb’s Fertilizer, then owned and managed by George, Lawrence, and Scott Webb.

Herb’s interview lasted just 10 minutes, but it was long enough for the Webbs to recognize his carpentry skills and the wealth of experience he brought with him. Herb walked out with the job, and as he fondly recalls, “I literally came out of the interview 10 minutes later with the job, mainly because they found out I could do carpentry. I’ve been working with Webb’s group of companies ever since.”

For over four decades, Herb has been a fixture at Webb’s, contributing his skills and expertise to the company and forming lasting bonds with colleagues.

Although he officially stopped working full-time in May 2024, Herb continues to lend a hand whenever needed. With a chuckle, he shared, “I keep coming in to do work because I haven’t gotten a pink slip yet, and I will continue working until I can’t anymore.” Herb noted that staying involved with the work gives him a reason to get up in the morning, a sentiment that reflects his endurReporter

In Memory of

PEST INSPECTIONS Pest Inspectors will be out in August and September surveying for crop pests and diseases in the County of Vermilion River.

We will be:  checking canola fields for clubroot  sampling wheat fields and canola fields for the provincial Crop Pest Surveillance  Program  surveying for grasshoppers in municipal roadsides and pastures/hayfields.

Sept. 16, 1955 - Aug. 30, 2023 The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, But missing you is a heartache, that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.

Until the joyous day arrives that we will meet again.

Field biosecurity is important, so Pest Inspectors will follow provincial protocols for crop sampling, including disposable booties and sanitation of all tools to prevent the spread of disease.

For more information on Crop surveys, contact the County Ag Department at 780-846-3301 or carychuk@county24.com ADMINISTRATION | 780.846.2244

GEMINI

Show appreciation, Cancer. Take time to acknowledge and thank those who have supported you. A small gesture of gratitude can strengthen your relationships and spread positivity.

LEO

Practice humility, Leo. Your talents and achievements are undeniable, but remember to share the spotlight. Recognizing others’ contributions will build trust and mutual respect.

VIRGO

Embrace imperfection, Virgo. Not everything has to be flawless, and it’s okay to let go of some control. Allowing things to unfold naturally will reduce stress and bring more enjoyment to your day.

LIBRA

Reevaluate your priorities, Libra. Take a step back and consider where you’re investing your time and energy. Aligning your actions with your true values will bring greater fulfillment.

SCORPIO

Practice forgiveness, Scorpio. Holding onto resentment only holds you back. Letting go of past hurts will free up your energy and open you to new, positive experiences.

SAGITTARIUS

Focus on mindfulness, Sagittarius. Stay present in the moment and savor the small joys in your day. Mindful living will help you appreciate what you have and bring a sense of peace.

CAPRICORN

Delegate tasks, Capricorn. You don’t have to do everything on your own. Trust others with responsibilities, and you’ll find more time and energy to focus on what truly matters to you.

AQUARIUS

Reconnect with your roots, Aquarius. Spend time with family or visit a place from your past that holds meaning for you. Reflecting on where you’ve come from can provide insight into your current path.

PISCES

Share your dreams, Pisces. Open up to someone you trust about your hopes and aspirations. Discussing your visions can lead to encouragement, support, and even new opportunities.
