CPCA SIGA Pro Tour Races Bring Chuck Wagon Racing To Dewberry

Chuck wagon races were held June 13 through 15 as crowds gathered to watch the action this past weekend at the Dewberry Race Track. This event was presented by the hard working volunteers at the Dewberry Ag Society. The event kicked-off Friday with Beer Gardens opening the event at 4:30 p.m. followed by races at 6:30 pm. Saturday brought in a crowd for a pancake breakfast presented by Dewberry First Responders. The main street market had a number of vendors in the afternoon offering a wide variety of items for sale. Gymkhana started at 2 p.m. for the children’s classes in the arena. Beer gardens, wagon races and a cabaret in the arena completed the eventful day. Sunday had kids activities taking place along with the final day of wagon racing. A roast beef supper was served up at the hall to finalize the event. See next weeks issue of the Vermilion Voice for all the results. See photos pg 2. Photo Lindsey Montgomery.

Forever in Our Hearts

In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away, you faced your task with courage, your spirit did not bend and still you kept on fighting until the very end.

God saw you getting tired.

When a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you, and whispered “come with me” so when he saw you sleeping, so peacefully free from pain, we could not wish you back, to suffer that again.

In loving memory of Susan Howard Nov 25, 1958-June 16, 2011

Sadly missed, always remembered Phil, Clint, Amber and Families.

Healthy Trees, Healthy Community

Keith Marsh was busy last week pruning trees along 50 Avenue in Vermilion all in hopes of beautifying Vermilion. Marsh, who has always had a keen interest in trees, said he noticed how some of the trees within the town were starting to look overgrown. He approached the Town and submitted a proposal to prune trees in various areas and the rest is history. Marsh says the optimal time for pruning trees varies depending on the type of trees and by cutting back the new branches, it will help the tree to grow better for everyone to enjoy.

Ve r milion Rot ar y Lookout Marred By Vandals

Sometime between the evening of June 14 and the morning of June 15, vandals visited the Vermilion Rotary Lookout dumping a flower barrel and possibly throwing it over the retaining wall and down the ravine, and also removed one of the five commemorative bronze plaques from the brick inlay flooring. The brick retaining wall leading down to the river valley was also damaged.

This is not the first time vandals have targeted the lookout as club president Brenda Lee says the club usually has to replace some of the top layers of bricks on the retaining wall each year.

The Vermilion Rotary club is asking anyone with information regarding this incident to call the Vermilion RC MP. T he lookout wa s par t of the Rotary’s 50 year celebration in Vermilion, and also the centennial celebrations marking the Rotary’s 100 years in service all over the world.

TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:

Q: I LIVE ON AN ACREAGE AND I SEEM TO HAVE

LOW WATER PRESSURE, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS?

A: Low water pressure could be several things but here are some

things to check. First of all start at the pressure tank where the water line comes into the basement. Look at the pressure gauge. For now we'll assume it works. The pressure will rise and fall (with cold water running in the tub) the pressure should be between 25 - 60lbs. If the pressure rises and falls quickly it is likely you may have low air pressure in the pressure tank. If the pressure switch or pump cuts in and out frequently you likely have a pressure tank issue. If all of the above seems fine you may have a small water orifice or small water supply line. If the pump runs continually you may have a weak pump.

Vermilion’s Brandon Baddock Celebrates Win With Oil Kings

Vermilion’s Brandon Baddock was celebrating the past few weeks after the Oil Kings took the Memorial Cup in a 6-3 win over Portland’s Guelph Storm in the Canadian Hockey League. Baddock started off his hockey career by playing in the Vermilion Minor Hockey league having his dad, Brent, as a coach. He was drafted into the WHL at the age of 15. Baddock and his teammates were welcomed home from the London, Ontario game with a parade in their honour in Edmonton on June 4. He will spend the next few months training and will keep honing his skills by skating in Lloydminster before heading back to the Oil King’s benches on August 25. Pictured here is Baddock as he poses with the two trophies, the Ed Chynoweth cup for the WHL and the Memorial Cup for the CHL, following the May 25 win. Photo submitted.

Lea Park Committee Work Hard To Make Top Grounds

The Lea Park Rodeo had their hands full trying to drain the mud in the arena left behind by the inch and a half of rain that fell Thursday before the rodeo. The first picture was taken at about 7 a.m. Friday morning before the rodeo. The second was taken at about 4 p.m. after crews worked tirelessly to get the arena floor in the best possible condition for the competitors. Rodeo committee member Rick Hozack said it was the most successful year yet and are happy with the weekend’s turnout. Photos submitted.
