Fun and Sun Taking advantage of the sunny weather a great many headed straight to the fairgrounds following the Vermilion Parade in an effort to enjoy as much of the rides and shows as possible before this summer’s inevitable rainclouds arrived to dampen the day. The sunshine held out all of Thursday and Friday but cooler moister weather arrived for the final wind up.

Editorial
Vermilion Math Shannon O’Connor our territory. I think I can speak on behalf Columnist
As a newcomer to Vermilion, I have never been to the Agricultural Society’s Fair. I am not a mathematician but based on personal experience I could say with total confidence before coming here that there is no way a town with a population of approximately 4,000 could hold a fair that could accommodate 25,000 people. The numbers just do not add up. I know this because when I studied Public Relations, Event Management was a required course. We worked in groups of five and each group in the class had to execute an event from conception to completion within one year with a budget of $0. Our basest primal responses were activated and before we knew it, we began to resemble a pack of wild dogs. Jockeying for position was of the utmost importance; this included plotting against others in the pack, establishing allies within the pack, making pack pacts and marking
of the group when I say it’s lucky any of us made it out alive. In the end, it took five people and one year to plan and execute a threehour event that ultimately attracted 100 people and raised $1,000. Considering everything, those numbers make sense. This brings me back to the 107th Vermilion Agricultural Fair. A town of four thousand people, and an Agricultural Society run almost solely by volunteers, cannot throw a three-day Fair for 25,000 people. Yet you did. Moreover, you have done it 107 times in a row! So what is it about this town and the Ag Society that refuses to believe the math? The answer was revealed at the big kick-off of the Vermilion Fair, the parade. When Para de Chairman, Russ Cameron, asked if I would like to volunteer as a judge for the float competition, I agreed. My fellow judge that day was Colleen Berg, a happy go lucky person who is very engaged in this community and who speaks highly of the benefits of volunteering, and how great it makes her feel, (she must feel great all the time because she is EVERYWHERE!)

She wasn’t the only one who spoke so highly of volunteerism. It seems like the whole town of Vermilion is committed to this philosophy, and if I didn’t know better I would say it was contagious because not only is everyone doing it, they are doing it with a smile on their face without making pacts or false alliances. Even my twelve-year-old son couldn’t wait to volunteer at Old MacDonald’s Barn. Even the Communities In Bloom Judges Lucie Gagne and Bob Lewis, who hail from Quebec and Ontario respectively, noticed this when they toured the town the day the fair opened. In fact, Lewis said he has some choice about where he goes to judge and stated that he picks small towns like Vermilion because he is so impressed with their level of commitment to community. This is something that is lacking in
larger centers, because there is such a huge budget nobody really has to volunteer to plant flowers or throw fairs. This results in a disconnection between citizens and citizenship in larger communities. Once the tax bill is paid, the consensus becomes “Somebody else will do it.” Therein lay the answer. Vermilion is just small enough to have the required number of volunteers if everyone is willing to help out, and it seems everyone is. Not having a huge budget is a blessing in disguise because the people of Vermilion say, “We’ll do it!” Individuals, organizations and businesses all come together to throw one heck of a fair! Therefore, when you look at it that way, Vermilion math makes perfect sense. Moreover, I am happy to say both my son and I now do math the Vermilion way.
Bouquet A big bouquet to all the teachers and parents responsible for the kindergarten and grade 6 graduations at VES and the grade 12 graduation at J. R. Robson. It was a fantastic graduation time. I have been going to their graduations since 1986 and would not miss any of it for the world. I truly appreciate all the work and effort that is put forward to celebrate the kids. I also enjoy seeing the pictures of all the graduates in the paper seeing the youngsters as they achieve success through the years. Louise Cartwright

Stratton
Deep Sea Adventure Part 2 Neil B. Stratton Columnist
Day 1- Well our Captain rose us at 4:30…and that’s in the AM! Although, I am not sure whether that was Alberta time or British Columbia time, either way it was early. But we just drove…and…ahh we didn’t care, we were excited to get out there, the sun was up… At 4:30? I found out later that we were much further North than I thought as Alaska is only a 30 km trip by boat. We had a quick breakfast and were on our way to the “Yacht Club”, a huge floating dock system that docked hundreds of boats and yes some incredible yachts. From the main building on shore there was a huge aluminum ramp down to the dock, that I thought was a little strange as it was on quite a steep angle downward. The dock itself was made from huge concrete blocks which I also thought a little strange but didn’t think too much about it as I was excited to go fishing, but first we had to get the boat out of a system that makes a busy Wal-Mart parking lot look spacious. We made our way out of the harbour and it wasn’t long before we were out on the ocean. We pulled into a quite little cove on one of the many islands, and dropped off our crab pots or cages. The crab cages each had several salmon heads hung inside, the local fisherman had graciously given us as bait, the cages had little one way doors into it, and it
intrigued me how the crabs would get in. As we drove the winds picked up and waves got a fair size quickly, I thought it’s a good thing we are near these islands, no sooner had I thought that, the captain put the boat into overdrive and we headed out to what looked like the edge of the world to me. Soon we were on a roller coaster ride in the open ocean; now here, open means one can’t see land or even a horizon for that matter. I was holding on and concentrating so hard not to look terrified, but my coffee cup sized eyes probably gave me away. After an hour which seemed like a drive all the way back to Alberta, I could see some islands again on the horizon, thank God, the captain kept asking me how I felt, it was then I realized, “Hey am I not supposed to be sea sick now? Other than my white knuckle grip on anything solid I felt fine, actually felt worse in a car after a long period, and as we reached the scenic line of islands the waves and ocean calmed. We pulled into a huge cove between two spectacular islands complete with mountains of their own and the waters calmed to a small roller coaster ride; apparently there calm means only the car sized waves that don’t have white caps on them. Now I wasn’t sure what strange thing we would be fishing for way out here but soon I had a fishing rod in my hands, and before I could ask any more questions, one of a million that raced through my mind, my rod was screaming line. The fight was on. Suddenly a shimmering large Coho Salmon shot four feet out of the water, thrashing wildly and
then the screaming line. It was a work out, but soon I stood mesmerised with my first Salmon ever in my hands. It was as big as the largest lake trout I have ever caught, and it was so beautiful and colourful, I was thankful and elated, I didn’t get much time to admire my catch as now Blaine was fighting with his first salmon. It was nonstop all day long, I didn’t have much time to think or enjoy the scenic surroundings and my mind raced with more questions and wonders than were answered. By mid day we had Chinook, Chum, Coho, Pink and Humpy Salmon in the live wells, I had no idea which were which. At first they all looked the same to me, by the end of the trip I would become one of the best identifiers of the salmon in the group. By late afternoon I became more aware of our surroundings. I couldn’t believe how much the shore line magically changed. Now I knew there was a tide in the oceans but I had no idea the tide would amaze me so much. The tides and ocean currents were so foreign to me. On calmer water one could look out and it appeared the sea water actually flowed in one direction and then looking further out it flowed in the opposite direction. The further you looked the more this phenomenon occurred, and then I learned there was a prized “slack tide” period, when the tides reached their highest or lowest points. The ocean at that time appeared to dance in a stationary place, large ripples danced like boiling water, I was so intrigued. What an amazing day, and before I knew it, it was late evening and
we were headed back to the harbour. The ocean was easier on me on the way back and it was enjoyable. The harbour was calm as glass as we docked and unloaded, there were huge stainless steel fish cleaning stations with running water there right on the dock. We watched the captain and local charter professionals clean the Salmon and soon we went to work like old pros. As we cleaned up I noticed fisherman bringing large metal carts down from the main clubhouse to load and unload gear. So I walked up to the main clubhouse to get a cart for our outstanding and huge catch and supplies. As I reached the bottom of the huge ramp from shore, I stopped in shock. That huge ramp was now perfectly level with land and the dock; I spun my head around to analyze the dock, the whole dock system with buildings, raised, lowered and floated at least 12 feet with tide. In part three, the tide and currents will continue to baffle me as will the other species of fish, stay tuned, and get out there folks enjoy the summer.
When the Smoke Clears My observation on the ocean tide: It’s a lot like life itself…If you know its highs and lows, you can go down with it and up with it, or simply float with it and it is not so difficult.

Franklin
Those Ball Tournament Picnics Franklin Wolters Columnist
The question is I guess, was there a picnic to go with the ball games, or ball games to go with the picnic. In the earliest 1900’s we had a ball team in Tolland called the Tolland Cubs (Grizzly Bear Cubs) in full. There were a fair contingent of Americans up here and they of course brought their favorite game with them. As my dad and his folks came from Missouri, you can guess where his sentiments were. Dad never played ball as I remember but he really loved to go see others play and I remember travelling to all surrounding communities to see how it was done. We played ball at the old Ganton School until the base paths were worn into the ground so it was easy to see the direction to the next base. There was no work planned on any day there was a ball tournament, it just wasn’t done. Mostly the games never started until the crop was in and summer following haying and fencing simply had to be fitted in between!! The games would start early in the morning, and would find the final game played in semi-darkness. Usually there would be a dance at the closest school building to the ball diamonds. I was too young early times to dance, but everyone was always there, it seemed to enjoy the do. The music was usually home grown and it was such a good time as I remember! Seemed that it always rained before the night was out which made for an
interesting trip home. I’ll name a few of the latest and most memorable tournaments, but there were so many others. Tolland had to be one of the best for sure, and then there was Auburndale, Earle, Basswood, Buffalo Coulee, Mannville, Vermilion, Wildwood, Paradise Valley, even little communities like Vanesta used to get into the act. Some of the better organized functions had three legged races and such for the kids, and there could be horse-shoe pitching contests for those who preferred that instead of ball games, mostly the older men. The concession booth was busy and well before there was any power there was ice cream and semi-cold soda pop maybe even hot coffee and hot dogs. It was a break from the everyday drudge and hard work that farming USED to entail. It’s still hard work and long days, don’t get me wrong, but it’s like comparing apples to oranges. You’d have to experience it to see. I have and I sure do!! Mostly the ball diamonds were fairly well maintained and the infield was fairly level, but they weren’t anything like the manicured fields we see now in the bigger centres, and ground balls could react in erratic bounces that made fielding them very interesting. Also running to field a fly ball could result in a trip on a gopher hole or a dip in the ground could result in a dropped fly ball. It made the games so interesting. The level of skill was really quite good as there were regular practices and the games were taken seriously and the rivalry really intense, all good natured of course. In my time I remember sprains and injuries that would last days, but we never had too many extra players and we played hurt once in a while.

Ask the home inspector:
TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:
VENTING BATHROOM FANS About 40 percent of the inspections I undertake have a problem with the venting systems of the home. Some problems are minor such as a vent hood that has been damaged or the flap is stuck open. The more severe problems would include mold growth and stains on the ceilings or moisture in walls. With our wide ranging weather patterns it is crucial to move stale moist air from your home effectively. Usually the home owner has no idea that there is a problem until someone gets sick or they begin to see physical evidence of the problems. The most common issue with poor venting is excessively high moisture levels inside the home or attic that eventually creates stains or mold. With ceiling exhaust fans the problem is usually one of three things, un-insulated vent lines in the cold attic that condenses and leaks , water traps that slow down or stop air flow and vent lines that terminate inside the attic. The end result of all of these issues is usually high humidity and moisture related stains and mold growth. Failure to vent the moisture and stale air out of the home tends to show up as condensation and mildew on the window sills and even mold under the windows on the drywall. Most people realize that the moisture levels are high and turn on the fans only to find it doesn’t get any better. The problem is usually improper venting that actually is not moving any air. Many times the builder tries to avoid moisture in the ceiling fan by creating a water trap in the vent line. More often than not this water trap turns into a block of ice and shuts down the ability of the fan to move air. Another common problem is un-insulated fans and vent lines which tend to frost up. The solution is quite easy, buy insulated vent line and vent the fans up and out through the roof without any low spots. Secondly make sure the fan is covered over with adequate amount of insulation and poly if possible. There is a lot more that can be said on this topic so feel free to call or visit our website for more information. WWW.BORDERHI.COM/POSTS
It is so sad that many of the ball diamonds in so many communities are deserted and unused and the little community halls are silent and we have seemed to have seen the last of those ball tournament picnics. They are like the chivarees, and the small county churches that stand deserted and empty. So much of the really good get togethers and the reason for them have passed and
with them the character of our very identity. I’m really more and more so thankful that I came along in time to see the best of the old times and I’m really wondering what we are doing to have anything that can even come close to replacing them. I’d love to have the chance to one more time play ball or watch the way we played when I was young.

Lonsdale
The Shine Of A Good Book Margaret Lonsdale Columnist
Summer mornings on vacation are made for the silent hours of reading outside while a fire crackles and your dog lies contentedly near your feet with the only other sound being the birdsong exchange between unseen winged things high in trees that shelter you from the early breezes off the water. During these first few hours of day, you might just as well be a mute. You need not utter any words to accomplish your mission. If your teeth are no longer attached to your jaw, you may leave them soaking in their sanitary plastic container next to the bathroom sink. You need not remember where you last placed your glasses nor must you verify what time it might be or check for messages on your telephone. Remember? You don’t have a tele-
phone. This time is reserved for losing yourself between the pages of the books that have slowly piled up while awaiting the touch of your tentative fingers. Fingers that, while periodically pausing to brush their covers, have not until now had a real opportunity to properly hold a volume before your full attention so that you could read more than a paragraph or two, without distraction. The sun has already risen high enough that my early morning fireside attire has become uncomfortably warm. With the end of the book so near, I remain seated here in my adirondack, squinting against the brightness in order to read the final twenty or so pages while the fire burns itself out, thin trails of smoke rising up to disappear somewhere beyond the high branches of jack pine. At the end, I close the book and peer off into the distance with unfocused eyes, considering. I pause to scratch the Yellow Dog in that place just behind her ears. Then, to remind myself of those introductory
details I may have skimmed over too quickly earlier, I re-read the entire first chapter. I am oblivious to the heat for the moment. There’s a passage in Michael Ondaatje’s novel, “The Cat’s Table”, where the narrator speaks of Mr. Fonseka, a quiet schoolteacher who befriends and brings some comfort to the young man, Mynah, during his voyage by sea to a new life in England. “Mr. Fonseka seemed to draw forth an assurance or a calming quality from the books he read. He’d gaze into an unimaginable distance(one could almost see the dates flying off the calendar) and quote lines written in stone or papyrus. I suppose he remembered these things to clarify his own opinion, like a man buttoning up his own sweater to give warmth to just himself. ...And this serenity and certainty I have seen only among those who have the armour of books close by.” Books do bring a certain comfort, their silent bounty discovered only by those with
the patience to explore the secret caves awaiting a reader’s illumination within their pages. Cloudy summer mornings on vacation are made for the silent hours of reading inside while a fire crackles in the hearth and your cat lies contentedly purring on your lap with the only other sounds being the rain spattering against the windows and the intermittent rumble of distant thunder reminding you that today you are free to spend your time indoors, to enter into the worlds created for you by visionaries of the word with something to impart to you, questions to ask of you, offering considerations to ponder. The narrator who beckons for you to cross the threshold of imaginary worlds may be a fool, a learned soul, a child, or even a canine. From within the pages of a book skillfully crafted, you may carry away with you new perspectives. Your view of the world may be challenged. Sometimes, it may even be irrevocably altered.
Vermilion Hosts First Summer Boot Camp Kul Sool Won
Over the last couple of weeks Kuk Sool WonTM Vermilion students have had the opportunity to take part in the school’s first summer boot camps, hosted by head instructor and school owner PSBN Morgan Freeman (3rd dregree black belt). Submitted
But what is a boot camp? The term “Boot Camp” generally refers to military recruitment training and has been adopted by fitness organisations to promote strength and fitness through a variety of intense group intervals, in a military style fashion. Mentally, boot camps are known to help deal with stress, after a strenuous workout, people are able to sleep better, allowing a person to feel more focused and energised the next day. The elevation of mood enables the increased ability to deal with future stressful occurrences or whatever the day may throw at you. Combined with a team effort and an increased value of discipline with support provided reducing the tendency to slack off. Students like fifteen year old Thomas Nawrot and eight year old Ivy Smereka took part in a full days training in Kuk Sool WonTM. The day started off with warm ups leading into forms, self-defence techniques and break falls, ending with a meditation class before lunch. After lunch the students were given the opportunity to learn something new; The Jewel Bong (Rope staff). Weapons are not normally introduced until much later in the Kuk Sool WonTM syllabus, so it was a real treat to be able to learn something more advanced. Morgan Freeman explains “The Jewel Bong aka The
Nunchucka, is a great weapon to introduce early in a Kuk Sool WonTM martial artist’s journey, as it helps prepare the student for the sword and staff at Dan Bo Nim (Black/Brown belt). The Jewel Bong is an interesting but challenging weapon to learn due to the circular motion needed for each strike, and the slightest error in technique can result in bang to the head!” Morgan Freeman went on to explain how well the school is growing with the addition of six new students over the past
six weeks. Classes are held on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 6.15pm to 7:15pm for children ages 4 –12 and Adults (13+) from 7:15pm to 8:15pm so if you are looking for something to do over the summer, why not come a class and see if they are right for you? After all the hardest part of Martial arts training is getting to class!

Dawns Eats Dawn Hames Columnist
I am currently living in the renovation zone. We have ripped out the living room carpet, which means my living room furniture is in the dining room, the garage and a bedroom. My dining room table is inaccessible, so dining is pretty much out on the deck patio table or sitting on a chair inside without a table. I am trying to paint the living room and doing a little mudding and taping to a small added wall. Once that is done then the new floor can go in. It all needed to be done for some time, but I kept putting it off, dreading the reno because I knew that I would be temporarily living in a muddle. I am hoping for a short “temporary”, but as you know with reno projects one thing leads to another, and the project often grows, especially in length of time. So now living in the middle of the muddle, the meal preparation has got to be simple. I need a quick and easy meal that does not leave a pile of cookware to clean. This dish only requires one skillet, a chopping board and basic ingredients. It is nice served with a side of cole-
slaw or a fresh green tossed salad. The salad can be made while the Sloppy Joe mixture simmers. Sloppy Joes have a colorful history that involves Ernst Hemmingway, a bar in Key West with 15 cent whiskey and 10 cent gin during and after prohibition. So to temporarily escape my reno I can sit out on my deck, eat a Sloppy Joe, imagine the white sand beaches of Key West, and wonder what sort of conversation Hemmingway might of had at the restaurant and bar he named Sloppy Joes.
Sloppy Joes 1 lb hamburger 1 cup chopped yellow onions 1 / 2 cup chopped celery 1 can tomato soup 1 / 2 cup water 1 / 3 cup lightly packed brown sugar 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 / 4 teaspoon turmeric 1 / 2 teaspoon salt 1 / 4 teaspoon pepper. Brown the hamburger, add onions and celery and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat. Serve inside a fresh open hamburger bun. I also like it served
Mannville Multi 4-H Sheep Project Achievement Day Results The Mannville Multi 4-H Club sheep project held their Achievement Day on Tuesday, July 23. Our MC was Mitchell Amero, the ringman was Keith Lysons, Shauna Charron and the judges were Hayo and Marianne Heeroma. Submitted The show started at noon with both the Vermilion and Mannville 4-H members using their knowledge to judge a class of market lambs. Next was the Market Lamb class for the junior members aged 9 to 11 years. Reanne Ewashko was first, Aiden Marshall was second and Indira Speck was third. The market lamb class for the seniors followed. Senior members are aged 15 to 20 years. One of our seniors, Davin Charron, was unable to attend due to 4-H camp so Ainsley Bader, a junior member in our horse project showed Davin’s lambs. The results for the senior market lamb class was Courtney Jackson first, Ainsley Bader (Davin Charron) second and Alysha Pelletier third. The top 2 winners of each class competed for the Grand Champion and Reserve. Reanne Ewashko won Grand Champion Market Lamb and Courtney Jackson won Reserve Champion. The ewe lamb class followed. There were four lambs shown by junior and senior members. They competed for the Champion and Reserve Female. Courtney Jackson won Champion Female, Ainsley Bader (Davin Charron) won Reserve, Alysha Pelletier won third and Indira Speck won fourth. After the ewe lamb class, grooming and showmanship were judged for the juniors and seniors. For the juniors the placings for both grooming and showmanship were the same. Reanne Ewashko was first, Indira Speck was second and Aiden Marshall was third. In the senior category, grooming first was Courtney Jackson, second Ainsley Bader and third Alysha Pelletier, Showmanship results were Courtney Jackson first, Alysha Pelletier second and Ainsley Bader third. We are very proud of Ainsley for taking on the job of showing two lambs which she had not even seen before Achievement Day. She also surprised us all by showing in a senior showmanship class without using a halter, something most junior members are not comfortable doing. We have a real showman in the making. Our day ended with the Mannville/Vermilion Interclub show and sale. Our six members showed their market lambs again to compete for Champion Market Lamb, Reserve Market Lamb and Showmanship. Davin Charron’s lamb, shown by Mitchell Amero, won Reserve Champion Market and Courney Jackson won first in Senior Showmanship with Alysha Pelletier winning second. The market lambs were auctioned off after the show with members proudly showing them off to the many buyers sitting in the stands. Next our members will finish off their record books in hopes of winning the best project book. We will continue to celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Canada and also the 70th anniversary of our Mannville Club throughout this year.

paraded their sheep in front of the judges early in the day and in front of the buyers following a BBQ hosted by Webb’s. Both the Mannville and Vermilion Clubs began their individual shows by swearing their 4-H pledges before showing their sheep in their different classes and age groups. Judges for the Mannville show and part of the Vermilion show were Hayo and Marianne Heeroma, who are sheep owners. Both of their children were also heavily involved in 4-H while
growing up. The Heeroma’s had a difficult time judging due to the quality sheep that were presented to them in each class. “You can be really proud of yourselves,” said Hayo Heeroma to the club members. Ross and Teresa Jackson took over for the Heeroma’s during the Vermilion show and made some difficult decisions themselves in the Homegrown Market Lamb Class, Grooming, Showmanship, Best Average Daily Grain and Judging classes.

Communities In Bloom Judge’s Tour Shannon O’Connor
The Community In Bloom Judges inspec ted the Tourist Information Booth on Thursday, July 25 at 1:30 p.m. Judging duties began early for Bob Lewis and Lucie Gagne as the 2013 Communities In Bloom Tour (CiB) of Vermilion got underway at 9:00 a.m. starting at the Town Office, where they were met by several town representatives. Director of Community Services, Shawn Bell and CiB Committee Chair, Kim McMinis then escorted the Judges around the town beginning with a walking tour of the downtown area and a driving tour of several key sites such as Vermilion Provincial Park and two Community Garden sites to name a few. The Judges also took in the Vermilion Agricultural Fair Parade. This is the first time that Judge Lucie Gagne has been in Vermilion. “I am very impressed with the level of community involvement here,” said Gagne. “It almost seems like every citizen is involved. This is what CiB is all about.” It is Bob Lewis’s second time in Vermilion; he was here two years ago. “I have noticed two big changes in branding and signage since I was here last,” said Lewis. “The new sign that greets people at the tourist booth is very bright and makes a very good impression on people entering the town.” He also noted the work the Goodlife Institute has done in just one year with their branding initiatives. “It is a fascinating concept that is systematic and therefore has the potential to stay and grow.”

Gagne said she would be interested to find out what people would say if they were asked about CiB. “It is so much more than just flowers,” she added. The environment plays a key role in the program. From CiB’s perspective the benefits of a green
Bob Lewis’s first career was in the Canadian Forces as a Military Engineer before he became Director for Capital Urban Parks and Green spaces. There is a category in CiB for the Canadian Forces that is called Sustainable Communities. “ It ’s hard to go to a military commander and ask him to join Communities In Bloom,” joked Lewis.
Vermilion is competing in a small category known as the Circle of Champions, which is comprised of previous winners.

One of the considlife said Lewis. erations the Judges have to make is Gagne is a pest survey biologist and what a community does with what it has. approaches her judging from that unique Smaller communities like Vermilion do perspective. “When I am looking at plants I not have huge municipal budgets and am looking at their health,” she said. therefore organizations, volunteers and
fundraising, have sponsored every flowerbed or planter you see said Lewis. The Judges will often make recommendations to a town and hope to see them implemented. Based on what Lewis has seen in Vermilion this year he commends the town for taking and applying every recommendation that he offered two years ago. “That’s when I know the program is working,” said Lewis. Final results will be announced at the National Awards Ceremonies in Ottawa from October 23-26.

Barley Industry Receives $8 Million Dollar Agri-Innovation Program Grant Alberta Barley Commission Release
Ag r i c u l tu re C a n a d a a n n o u n ce d to day that $ 8 millio n d o lla rs has been granted to the Alberta Barley Commission to fund its Barley Research Cluster projects. This funding will cover 28 projects to meet relevant industry priorities for feed, malt and food barley. “This is a game changer for the future of barley,” said ABC Chairman Matt Sawyer. “ With an investment like this, barley producers will reap the rewards of innovation for years to come.”
According to Sawyer, the Barley N a t i o n a l R e s e a rc h C l u s te r p ro jects aim to increase the competitiveness of the Canadian barley sector by focusing on market-driven factors that stimulate the demand for barley, while incorporating scientific advances to reduce the expenses and risks that producers face when growing barley. “We’re eager to work with farmers, for farmers,” said ABC Vice- Chairman and B arley Council of Canada (BCC) Director Trevor Petersen. “This is just the beginning— o nce th ese p roje c t s s tar t to gain traction, the sky’s the limit for barley farmers.”
The Alberta Barley Commission will work closely with the BCC on managing these projects. Both groups are committed to accelerating the development of all classes of barley varieties through the adoption of best practices in technology, agronomic methods, crop management, breedin g an d genetic techniques. “ The BCC is looking forward to collaborating with industry to expand barley’s potential,” said BCC Chairman Brian Otto. “ We are now on the road to making Canada’s barley industry a global leader.” ABC’s Research Manager Garson Law will manage the Barley National
Research Cluster projec ts. The Commission is currently waiting on further funding details from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC). The cluster is supported under the Agri-Innovation Program, a five-year initiative of up to $698 million that is designed to serve as a catalyst for innovation by supporting research, d evel o p m e nt, co m m e rcia lizatio n, and adoption of innovative products, technologies, and services. The terms of this investment are subject to the signing of contribution and collaboration agreements. To tra c k p ro g re s s o n p ro j e c t s , please visit www.albertabarley.com.

Scorpio
Someone is withholding information. You have to question the motives of the people you are dealing with personally and professionally. Protect your assets and your possessions along with your plans for the future. Avoid secret entanglements.
Impulsive spending or offering help to a group or individual without finding out all the facts first will be a mistake. You can offer your time and suggestions, but not your hard-earned cash. Love is in the stars, along with emotional overspending.
Follow your path, not someone else's. A change of plans may unnerve you, but you must stick to what works best for you. Look out for your best interests. Doing too much for someone ungrateful will end in disaster.
You deserve a break. Travel plans or visiting people you love to spend time with will bring new meaning to your personal plans. Share your thoughts and make a promise that will improve your life, your future and your important relationships.
Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius
Pisces
Make a residential move and invest in something solid and long-term. Nurture what you already have and exploit your talents, but don't let someone you love hold you back or put you down. Do what's best for you.
Embrace whatever comes your way and work alongside the people who offer the most promising opportunities. Change is inevitable and compromise is necessary, but in the end, it will bring good results.
Don't let an emotional issue ruin your day. Partnerships may be under pressure, but if you compromise, you can persuade the people who count in your life to see things your way. Love will enhance your life.
A change in the way you earn your living or the way you handle the beliefs and traditions you were raised with will make a difference to your future. Discipline will help you reach your goals, allowing you to see new possibilities.

Alberta Parents Underestimate Measures Needed To Prevent Child Drowning Red Cross
Drowning is the s e c o n d leading cause of preventable death for children younger than 10, but recent Canadian Red Cross research shows
that the majority of Alberta parents do not understand what is needed to safeguard children in, on and around the water. On average, 13 children drown needlessly every year in the Prairie provinces.

“Children can drown quickly and quietly, and often in situations where they were not expected to enter the water,” says Kevin Paes, water safety manager for the Canadian Red Cross in Western Canada. “Only one-third of children and youth who drown in Canada were taking part in aquatic activities that parents typically see as risky, like swimming or wading. Onethird of children drown in situations where they enter the water unexpectedly, like by falling from a dock or entering the water without their caregiver’s knowledge.” Research suggests that parents in Alberta have a false sense of security when their children are near water. One in five parents in Alberta say they would allow a child younger than six to play near the water without a lifejacket on, believing them to be safe so long as they are not actually swimming. However, four out of five children of this age who drown in Canada were not expected to enter the water. Red Cross public opinion research shows that Canadian parents significantly underestimate children’s risk of drowning in shallow water. Ninety-

12345 Water Well Drilling - Within 150 miles of Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary (New Government water well grant starts April 1/13)
eight per cent of parents with children younger than four say that water depth influences their level of supervision. However, data shows that 40 per cent of children drown in water less than one metre deep, and 90 per cent of children who drown in shallow water are not with a supervising adult. “Sixty per cent of child drownings occur between June and August. If past trends continue, 34 children could drown between today and Labour Day,” adds Paes. “With summer around the corner, we urge parents to understand the risks to children not just when they are in the water, but also when they are on or near it.” June 1 to 8 was Water Safety Week, and the Red Cross is calling on all parents and adults to properly supervise children by maintaining them within reach and within sight at all times. The Red Cross has been helping to keep Canadians safe in, on and around water since 1946.
