Highlights From Awareness Day

Reporter

Vermilion had a large range of displays to visit and people to meet and greet at its annual Fall Organizational Awareness Day. Although this is in no way a complete list of the organizations that were present, here are a few highlights gleaned from the event.

Sue Klym had a beautiful assortment of quilts on display for the Vermilion Quilt Guild. “If you love to sew, you will appreciate the art of quilting,” their brochure stated.

The Guild includes: a Postcard Club, Challenge Quilts, and an Annual Quilt Show on the first weekend in May. This guild donated quilts to the Stollery Children’s Hospital last year. The Vermilion Quilt Guild started the year’s activities with a social in September.

The Vermilion Vipers just finished their summer swimming season and will be starting up again in May. “Many of the swimmers find summer jobs in resorts.”

A new business, Elevation, had a great idea for its grand opening on September 13. They invited all visitors to try out one of three free classes: Children’s Yoga, Buti Yoga, or Zumba and had refreshments and discounts of store merchandise. This is a yoga studio, retail store, and wellness centre. “The focus of Elevation is to enhance your mind, body, and spirit.”

Representatives from 2645 LER Royal Canadian Army Cadets Corps Vermilion spoke of a group learning to climb a mountain in Peru and another going around the Great Lakes. These are only two of the many expeditions and world travel opportunities members can have with the army cadets. There are also summer camps in various locations.

The focus of army cadets is on expeditions, survival skills, leadership, citizenship, and marksmanship.

Some of the survival skills that are taught include: how to build shelters and camp fires, and how to hit targets with weapons. It is free to join for individuals 12-18 years old.

Girls aged 5-17 were invited to join one of the Girl Guides classes. Sparks is for girls

5-6 years; Brownies 7-8 years; Guides 9-11 years; Pathfinders 12-15 years; and Rangers 15-17 years. The two youngest groups meet once a week for half an hour and an hour respectively, while the 9-17 year-old groups meet for about 2 hours/week.

Some of the goals of Girl Guides include: discovering individual skills, serving other community members; organizing events; taking international trips to guiding centres; and promoting leadership skills.

Successful Ranger applicants are also eligible for a Girl Guides of Canada scholarship upon high school graduation.

Parents of young children were informed of an indoor play area that is open to members of Kiddie Oasis. There is a toy lending library and space for parents to ‘hang out’ with their children whenever they’d like to. Email vermilionko@gmail.com for more information.

Several dance groups were featured in the displays as well. From the MannvilleVermilion Highland Dance, where classes take place in Mannville, to the Marwayne Dance Academy.

FIRE, FLOOD, & DISASTER RESTORATION

24 Hr Emergency Response

What some Vermilion residents may not know is that there are three dance clubs right in Vermilion.

The Vermilion Ukrainian Cultural Association has been teaching Ukrainian dance in Vermilion for 34 years.

The Vermilion Dance Association teaches a wide variety of dance styles including: preschool creative, ballet, Irish, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, and Technique.

The third dance club in Vermilion is called Dance Impressions by Ryan who had a vibrant display at Lakeland Mall with a live performance by three of their dancers.

Royal Purple and Alberta Citizens on Patrol were there seeking volunteers, while CLASS (Adult Literacy) and the Walking Through Grief Society were there to provide support to newcomers and people experiencing loss.

Sheri Heller just announced this year’s line-up at her display for the Vermilion Allied Arts Council.

A sense of community pride could be felt as newcomers gazed at the wide variety of activities available. It was difficult for some residents to decide which ones to choose for both themselves and for their children.

Canadian Antique Art And Coin Roadshow Nicole Crossan Reporter

Like the staff here at The Voice, many readers may be wondering what they do at the Antique Art and Coin Roadshows.

There are two different types of Roadshows. There is one where people bring in coins, art, antiques, and collectibles to get them appraised and the gold and silver is purchased by the Roadshow. This is the type that happened in Vermilion on September 10-11.

The other type is when people bring items to put on a display for buyers to look at, trade in, or purchase.

Paul Pierson who is running the Roadshow in Vermilion, was asked what they do with all the silver they collect. “... The silver is used to make into belt buckles for the Little Britches Rodeo and a few different rodeos but mostly the Little Britches. They are also used in the ornamentation of the trophies,” Pierson stated.

“Little Britches is one of the oldest, continuing youth rodeo associations in the world, with its membership ranging from kids ages 5 – 18. It is a non-profit venture to build sound, healthy minds and bodies and to develop character, self-reliance, good sportsmanship and encouragement through competition in the great sport of rodeo,” www.nlbra.com stated.

Pierson continued, “We have had some interesting things come through like some old pocket watches from Europe that were dated at 150 years old. They were valued at around two and a half thousand dollars.”

Eugene and Goldie Lypowi from Heinsburg brought in a painting signed

by S. Daniel. This painting was passed down to Eugene from his mother.

Another couple brought in 5 silver dollars that were marked as Canadian mint.

Each one was valued at $6000 because they were valued as collector coins. A star medal issued by the Canadian and European army and a couple paintings were some more interesting finds that were appraised in Vermilion this week.

“Nothing really super-exciting has come through, but we know it’s here. We know the stuff is in people’s closets, basements, and other places. Just not many people have taken the time to bring it here so far,” Pierson mentioned with a tone of disap-

pointment.

There have been some exciting stories attached to the articles that come through.

One was about a museum curator who brought in a painting from the back room.

She didn’t know the value of it. It was appraised and they discovered that that painting was an original worth half a million dollars. The artist was one hired by the Canadian Government to create paintings of each of the provinces, which increased its value enormously. Another was about a helmet from WWII that had Adolf Hitler’s name etched inside and a photo album with close-ups of Adolf Hitler.

“We have to wonder how people obtain some of the stuff that comes through,” one appraiser commented.

Then there were the photos of Queen Victoria and molds of the handprints of the last known survivor on the Titanic that was sold to a memorial site in Red Deer.

“We wish more people had come and take advantage of our presence here.

Perhaps word will have spread about what we are doing by the time we come back next year,” Pierson concluded.

The Antique Art and Coin Show will come back next spring in April or May.

Parkview Alliance Church Fall Get Together

Elina Castro Reporter

We just wanted to have a get together before the busy season,” said Pastor Bryce Ashlin-Mayo on September 7. “It is a kind of back to school, back to work get together because people really like to see each other and relax with the kids after Sunday service.”

The park was filled with chattering, lounging, laughing adults. The bouncing castle quivered with jumping, leaping, squeaking children. A long table on the edge of the park was well stocked with hotdogs and burgers, and an eclectic array of salads.

They even went so far as to offer a listening As promised, Kadin Morritt gave half ear if patients needed someone to talk to of the profits from his bake sale to Kari and donated chairs for people to sit on.

The Alberta Cancer Foundation raises Cannan who has been fighting Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

This type of cancer attacks the lungs first causing shortness of breath. She will have her last treatment on September 19 and should be done with her tests in the New Year. Then she will be monitored to discover where to proceed.

Since more research is needed, Cannan volunteered herself to be one of the participants in a genetic study that is attempting to determine what treatments work best and whether or not it is a gene that can be passed down to future generations.

This research is being funded by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. also known as: The Takeda Oncology Company.

As part of this study, Cannan has been required to make several trips to the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton to undergo ABDV treatments. She is required to spend 4-5 hours in her unit every time she goes for one of her treatments. During that time, she sees at least 100 people go through the unit. While patients wait, several groups of volunteers and a kind, compassionate group of nurses try to make their stay more comfortable.

One group that stood out was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“They always had people there ready and willing to go above and beyond to help patients while they waited.”

This group of volunteers were especially kind and understanding. They were always Nicole Crossan Reporter

Comments, Corrections And Clarification

Elina Castro Editor

In the past couple of weeks, at the Voice we have received a number of comments about our on-going coverage of the various communities we serve.

Let me just say that the Voice covers Vermilion plus 11 communities in East Central Alberta, and that it is a pleasure and a privilege to meet so many of you, and to hear from so many more.

To respond to all the comments we receive is difficult, often impossible.

And in light of recent developments I’ve decided to use this space just this once,

to explain why.

When we cover a story that has been going on for two, sometimes three years, with its many ups and downs, twists and turns, setbacks and developments, what we usually find is a wealth of opinion, an eclectic range of vision, some tightly held beliefs, and often a little unhappiness about the way we cover those stories.

Take the Village of Minburn, for example. The community has undergone a Viability Study carried out by the Viability Review Team of Alberta Municipal Affairs.

After a long process of informationgathering, data analysis and public meetings, the Viability Review Team released its report.

On page 14, the Viability Review

Corrections

In our issue of September 1 with coverage of the sale of AltaLink, we omitted part of the statement made by Industry Minister James Moore on July 25, 2014. The article should have read: “Berkshire Hathaway Energy’s application to acquire control of AltaLink has been approved. However, approval of this transaction is also required by the Alberta Utilities Commission before it may proceed.”

The Duelling Pianos Coming To Marwayne article should have shown Carla Strunk at 780-847-2259 as the contact person, and just to let everyone know, Corporate Christmas Parties are welcome to attend.

Nicole Crossan

Team begins its analysis of the Financial Stability of the Village and, on page 15, under Net Financial Assets, the report shows an amount of $139,800 for the year 2013.

Below, there is another box with a “Key Measure” showing a ratio of assets to liabilities below 1:1 which means the debt of the Village exceeded its assets in that year. Then again, lower down, the report shows that the Village did not accumulate a deficit.

So, was the Village of Minburn financially viable in 2013? Readers’ opinions differ profoundly. Some say there was cash in the bank, others say the debt exceeded the cash.

It seems to me that opinions will continue to differ until March, 2015 when

5

the Team releases its Viability Plan.

As for me, I would like to apologize for having published an article about the situation in Minburn before the Viability Report was published and therefore contributing to the confusion surrounding this issue.

The only conclusion that really counts here is that of the Viability Review Team.

The report is in the public domain, by the way, and can be read in its entirety on municipalaffairs.alberta.ca/documents/LGS/Village_of_Minburn.

To close, I would like to say that the Vermilion Voice invites and welcomes opposing viewpoints. If you wish to comment on this or any other issue, send us an Article or Letter to the Editor, vermilionvoice@gmail.com.

GED Preparation Classes Start Soon

Reporter

Get your GED! Do you or does someone you know need a Grade 12 Diploma?

CLASS: Vermilion River Adult Learning Council is hosting a GED Preparation Course from September 16 to December 2, 2014.

Work, community, family and study experiences give adults skills, and the ability to pass their GED exams. In many cases, however, adults may not have the confidence to prepare for such an exam on their own.

There are compelling reasons for people to take the GED Preparation Course.

For example: passing the GED gives students the equivalent of a high school diploma which is essential for workers in

nearly every type of employment.

In addition, not all individuals are able to teach themselves the skills required to pass the GED Exam, and so they may keep putting it off until they are stuck in difficult situations.

Some situations that may arise from not having a GED or high school diplomas include: unemployment or underemployment; being unqualified for a promotion; inability to meet expenses in their current position; being rejected by educational and training institutes; harboring feelings of inferiority.

The skills students will be taught in the GED Preparation Course include: language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.

CLASS in partnership with Academic Express is offering this course through funding from Human Services-Alberta Works.

There is a short, simple application process. Students must be from Alberta and 18 years of age.

If approved, students will receive 100 hours of GED Preparation instruction via video-conferencing. Instructors will be present to assist students during the video-conferencing hours. All course textbooks will be provided, as well as a calculator, and the GED exam fee FOR FREE. Classes will run Tuesdays, Wednes-

Lakeland College’s Biochar Initiative

Elina Castro Reporter

There is an interesting message printed on the back of the business c a r d s u s e d b y L a ke l a n d C o l l e g e faculty.

The message states that the mission of the college is: “To inspire learner su c c e s s an d c o m mu n i t y d eve l o p ment through innovative learning in an inclusive and diverse environment.”

The CSI or Centre for Sustainable Innovation promotes innovative learning via its scientific projects, particularly in the area of renewable energy.

The B io c har initiative is a g oo d example of innovative learning, and is also a strong proponent of the other sid e of the equation – c ommunit y development.

In our continuing coverage of exciting new programs at Lakeland College, we outline some features of the Biochar initiative.

Lakeland College and Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) with assistance from Western Economic Diversification Canada and industry support have developed the Alberta Biochar Initiative (ABI).

The ABI consists of small and m e d i u m i n d u s t r y, a c a d e m i a a n d g over nm ent wor k ing to g ether an d

sharing information on the benefits and applications of biochar.

In addition, the ABI develops technologies for large-scale commercial use of biochar products and applications, and is anticipating a robust commercial-scale biochar production, application and carbon trading market in Alberta by 2016.

Biochar is the chemical decomposition of organic matter such as wood and agricultural waste under extreme heat (pyrolisis). The result is a carbonrich solid matter, identical to charcoal, easily degraded, and able to continuously recycle itself within the flora and fauna.

Biochar has a host of other applications as well, such as boosting crop yields, cleaning water by absorbing its toxins, reducing odor, and adsorbing toxic pollutants in soil.

The process is not new. It is found in soils from around the world. It can be formed as a result of natural vegetation fires and has been used by the natives of Brazil in the Amazon Basin for more than 2,500 years.

The pro cess is also used in the Northern Territories of Australia, such as Kakadu National Park, where the Aborigines burn the tall grasses and some trees to restore soil fertility.

Biochar provides benefits to soil

and crops by enhancing crop productivity, improving soil compaction, fertility and water retention, and by reducing soil erosion.

Biochar also reduces nutrient leaching, fertilizer runoff and efficiency.

B u t i t i s n ot a p er fe c t p r o c e s s.

Biochar may lead to soil toxicity, may contain heav y metals and be detrimental to certain microbes.

It is therefore crucial to make the pyro li si s pro c es s s afe to pro d u c e consistent, quality biochar.

From Vegreville to Fort McMurray, British Columbia and Germany, the ABI initiative has several business partners.

The partners in this initiative bene-

fit in various ways, such as networking with other enterprises actively engaged in developing the industry.

Partners may also access research specific to their needs, and par ticipate in a collective value-chain develo p m e nt or pur su e ot h er te c hni c al research specific to their interests.

I n a d d i t i o n , A B I p a r t n e r s h ave a c c e s s t o t h e t w o m o b i l e , $1. 3 5 million-dollar pyrolysis units for the production of biochar.

The Center for Sustainable Innovation (CSI) of Lakeland College will have tours of the site, pyrolisis units and renewable energy systems during Alberta Culture Days.

Lakeland College Education Is Money Well Spent Lakeland College Submitted

For Lakeland College students, the start of a new college year means finding classrooms, meeting new people, and participating in orientation activities.

It also means paying for tuition, fees, supplies, and books. According to an economic impact and return on investment study completed by Economic Modeling Specialists Inc, the money students pay now to attend Lakeland should prove to be money well spent.

Using Lakeland College data from 2012-2013, the study found that for

ever y $1 students invest in a Lakeland College education, they received a cumulative $4.50 in higher future earnings over the course of their working careers. This equates to a 23.2 per cent internal rate of return on their investment. Had students used the money they spent on education and instead invested in a standard bank savings account, they would receive a rate of return of less than one per cent.

“This study confirms that investing in a Lakeland College education is a great investment for students and their families,” said Dr. Tracy Edwards, president of Lakeland College. “By help-

Franklin Wolters Columnist

Fall is a great time for a drive in this country when it can show off its bounty in such a wonderful way! On either side of the highway you can see miles of heavy swaths of canola, wheat and barley just waiting to be harvested.

On high ground you can look across to far horizons and see the country like a huge patchwork quilt with all the fields of different crops and areas of bush. Very Pretty!

As I drove along on a perfectly smooth paved highway I realized I covered more country in an hour than Henday did in days of walking. It’s something to think about.

In my mind I tried to see the rolling country without fence or road like it would have been in Henday’s time.

Think of all the emptiness that had to be filled with people and infrastructure that is here today. In Henday’s time the wealth was the wildlife and people were hunters and gatherers.

Headin’ West I think of all the emptiness and distance when travelling by foot or horse and how lonely it must have been. Even when finally the railroads were built and land started to be settled and broken, there still was the problem of getting crops to grow in this climate and then to harvest them in an efficient way.

It really took time to develop all that.

Our growing season here was a a bit shorter than where most of the folks came from and the seed they brought needed to be developed into varieties that would mature earlier to suit this climate.

That was a challenge that took years to be answered.

When I look at all those horizon to horizon fields that are now worked with such wonderful large equipment, you have to think that really a lot of that land was broken and tamed with a walking plow and oxen or a team of horses. At first, anyway!

Can you just imagine all the little farms and farmers it took to settle all that country and set up the little towns and run the grain elevators and stock the stores and run all the businesses it took to serve those people.

Nowadays the land is emptying out again and all those people seem to want to live in the cities like they came from way back when. Kind of funny, don’t you think?

Heading south from highway 26 on highway 56 we came to Stettler which has a sign which proclaims it is the centre of Alberta. On the way down we see the huge grain terminals which have replaced all the wooden elevators that used to service our farm areas. They’re mostly all gone now, a sad reminder of our vanishing past.

Seems the independent family farm is in danger of disappearing too. Stettler is the starting place for a ride on a restored railway line to Big Valley which in the time of the steam locomotive was a coal mining centre of some three thousand souls. It’s only a tourist town now serving people who come in on a steam train from a Stettler several times a week. A delightful experience for sure.

I stopped and visited on the way through and had a coffee break in one of the tourist attractions and met some really special folks and talked of our memories of those older times, so precious. But my business was in Trochu and Three Hills

7

and I continued on.

On a ridge West of the highway you’ll see another of our nowadays change for there are some dozens, I could guess, strung along for miles there, windmills with big through-blade rotors slowly turning and making electric power from wind.

Quite a site to see!

Proof of the scope of farming in that area, I’d like to take you with me to the farmers market in the Three Hills. It was housed in a huge arena and it was simply crowded from corner to corner, front to back with tables, people, and produce.

I’ve never seen the like anywhere around here really!

So after a visit and doing my errand, I returned the way I had come and again enjoyed the beauty of the country I’ve been privileged to be born in and live in.

I really thank our Lord for the ability to drive and travel so freely about the country and enjoy the people and places as I go.

I’d urge anyone who can to do the same. Even at the price of gasoline it is a bargain, considering what you get as a reward.

Drive carefully!

Co-op Is Making It Easier For Shoppers Submitted

Buying local food items and supporting local businesses has never been easier thanks to new in-store labels and an innovative local scoring system being introduced in 210 Co-op stores throughout Western Canada.

Co-op is launching its new At Home campaign (www.athomewithcoop.ca) this week in Alberta and British Columbia.

The At Home strategy has three components: Grown at Home – highlights fresh fruits and vegetables.

Raised at Home – highlights sustainable, quality meat products.

Produced at Home – highlights local processors developing new and innovative products.

As part of this campaign, Co-op has partnered with Localize, an Edmonton-based company that will help identify products local to each individual store and generate a local score for each item that will appear on the shelf labels. Products are scored out of 10 based on the location of product, location of ownership, and source of ingredients. This means products made in British Columbia will score higher for stores in that province than they will in Saskatchewan stores. Only products that rate 7.0 or higher on the Localize rating system will be called out in the stores as Grown at Home, Raised at Home, or Produced at Home local products.

Shoppers can scan a QR code on shelf labels that takes them towww.localizeyourfood.com, which provides detailed information about the product.

“Co-op has a long tradition of sourcing local products and supporting local farmers, ranchers and producers who grow, raise and produce our food,” says Ron Welke, Associate Vice-President of Food at Federated Co-operatives Limited. “The availability of local products remains a key differentiator in today’s highly competitive retail food industry. Consumers want to know where their food comes from and the story behind it. By partnering with Localize, we have an unbiased rating system to bring enhanced credibility to just how local a product actually is in an easily understandable format for consumers.”

The At Home campaign is the next evolution of a pilot project undertaken last year between 35 Co-op stores in southern Alberta and Localize.

“We built Localize to help shoppers, grocers, and food producers better understand the stories behind where their local food products have come from, presenting credible information on grocery shelves and beyond,” said Localize Founder and CEO Meghan Dear. “With this announcement, Co-op further demonstrates its leadership and commitment to the very communities it serves, by making it easier for its members to find and purchase local products.”

Ed Berney, North Central Co-op General Manager, is looking forward to offering customers an easier way to identify and buy

local products.

“Customers’ interest in buying local products has increased significantly in recent years,” said Berney. “While competitors try to be local, we truly are local. We are owned by local members, our profits stay here and we support other local businesses and causes important to our community.

Many local growers, ranchers and producers are Co-op members and together we have supported each other for years and in turn, as neighbors, have helped strengthen our communities.”

Siwin Foods, an Edmonton food manufacturer established in October 2005, exemplifies the relationship that Co-op has with local suppliers.

Co-op has been instrumental in launching new products, with Siwin Foods progressing from sausage rings to stir fry sizzlers, smokies, specialty frozen meat, dumplings and potstickers, including a private label version for Co-op.

“Co-op and Siwin Foods have a natural bond, both being Western Canadian-based companies and both supporting local first,” said Doug Gordon, Director of Sales and Marketing for Siwin Foods. “Siwin Foods only buys Alberta meat ingredients to use in our products and source our ingredients locally first. So naturally Localize is the perfect fit for our company.”

Product availability will be based on producer supply and will vary across the Co-operative Retailing System. Co-op continues to work with producers and businesses in Western Canada to prepare and

introduce food products into stores.

A listing of participating producers and processors can be found atwww.localizeyourfood.com. For more information on this initiative, visitwww.athomewithcoop.ca.

Localize is an Edmonton-based business that specializes in helping shoppers, grocery stores, and food producers better understand and communicate about food.

Launched in 2011, Localize developed its platform to support grocers and shoppers looking for local and regional products, and now works with its partners to solve a range of information gaps in the grocery store.

Witness Blanket

Margaret Lonsdale Columnist

Imagine yourself at seven years old. You live with your parents and your two siblings in a house, on a block, in a village where other people you know live close by in other houses. You are a member of a family and part of a community.

One day, a car stops in front of your house and three strangers emerge from it.

They walk up the steps and knock. When your mother opens the door, the strangers come inside. They don’t sit down. You can tell that they are waiting for something.

Then you realize that what they’re waiting for is you. You don’t understand. Your mother is shaking as she cries. Your father stands rigid, looking smaller and so much less powerful than you remember seeing him at any time before today.

The strangers take you with them. Your life, at least the one you have known thus

far, is over. It doesn’t matter if you cry, kick, or scream and try to run away. You are trapped in this nightmare. The car starts and pulls away from your house. You twist around to see out the back window. Your parents look as though they’re disappearing into a kind of tunnel and as you watch, your hand outstretched on the back window so that it leaves finger marks, they get smaller and smaller. Your chest heaves, but you don’t cry anymore. You don’t know who these people are or where you’re going.

You don’t know if you’ll ever see your family or feel like yourself again.

Carey Newman, artist, wasn’t one of those kids removed from their families and placed in one of the hundred and thirty residential schools established across Canada.

He didn’t endure the emotional destruction of being torn from his family, the unspeakable loneliness that followed, relentless physical and mental abuse, or attempts to strip him of his cultural identity. Yet stories told to him by his father, Victor Newman, and others who did experience the cruelty

borne of a sinister plan have impacted him profoundly.

Blanket is a universal symbol of protection. The gift of a handwoven blanket is a deeply personal exchange. It represents honour and respect, but also the practical simplicity of human caring. We gift a newborn a comfort blanket. We warm our elders with a protective blanket. In Salish culture, you ‘blanket’ someone to symbolize respect, honour, and protection.

Inspired by the concept of the handwoven blanket, Newman has recently completed his Witness Blanket project. The project is intended as a national monument to bear witness to atrocities perpetrated during the Indian Residential Schools era while concurrently honouring the children who attended those facilities and supporting the ongoing efforts of reconciliation.

Newman set out to collect articles from sites across every province and territory for inclusion in his project. The Witness Blanket installation consists of thirteen movable cedar panels held together with steel. It

measures two metres in height by twelve metres in width and features approximately six hundred artifacts, each one representing some fragment of the Residential School story. Artifacts were collected by Newman and two assistants but many have also been donated by former residential school attendees themselves. They range from a pair of ice skates found in Saskatchewan and a child’s battered boot in the Yukon, to the doorknob of a boys’ residence in Alberta and a braid of hair donated in B.C. Of the stories behind the artifacts, Newman says, “Individually, they are paragraphs of a disappearing narrative. Together, they are strong and formidable, collectively able to recount for future generations the true story of loss, strength, reconciliation and pride.”

The Witness Blanket project made its debut in Newman’s hometown of Victoria in May and will be making its way across Canada in the coming year. Communities are invited to arrange for the installation to make a stop in their location by contacting tour organizers: info@witnessblanket.ca.

HitchBOT And More Cross-Canada Trekkers Nicole Crossan

Spriggs posted on his Facebook page update, sponsored by Coast2Coast.

Martin Spriggs chose to take this journey out of compassion for not only two fellow Vets who chose to take their own lives, but for all other Vets with mental health issues.

Joseph Boutilier is a game designer from Victoria, British Columbia who is uni-cycling across Canada to encourage political action in climate change issues.

Reporter

In the July 7 issue of The Voice, an article was published about the Spare Parts Tour. Ron Hahn of Edmonton, Alberta, has been cycling across Canada to raise awareness about how to become organ and tissue donors. In September, he travelled to Fredericton and Moncton, New Brunswick then crossed the bridge and traveled through Prince Edward Island (PEI). As of September 9 he was taking a rest for a day or two in Sackville, Nova Scotia.

This is only one of hundreds of crossCanada trekkers. Is this becoming a trend?

The sheer number of people in attendance at the annual Trek World 2014 product showcase would testify that is such is the case.

Even Velorution, a bike shop and campground in Saulte Ste-Marie reports that, between 200 and 300 cross-country travellers, stop in annually.

Thirty percent of these travellers linked their trip to a cause. The most common method of cross-Canada transportation is the bicycle, but there are some other methods being used as well.

Some people hike, run, unicycle, longboard, tandem, or send a hitchBOT across the wide and varied Canadian terrain.

The hitchBOT— an experimental robotfrom Port Credit, Ontario — has traveled over 6,000 km across Canada in three weeks. This tour was an experiment by hitchBOT’s guardians, Dr. David Smith (McMaster University) and Dr. Frauke Zeller (Ryerson University) to find out more about robot-human trust.

for the first day of the House of Commons fall session.

While there, he plans to meet with MPs, cabinet ministers, and party leaders and discuss environmental issues with them.

Unlike others, Boutilier believes that parliamentary democracy is still in effect.

One reason cross-Canada treks have become so popular could be that many people find it a cheaper, more physical way of seeing the country. However, there are too many companion trekkers. As a result, getting media attention for treks that support a cause is becoming more and more difficult.

Even though s u m m e r d o e s n ot end in Canada until September 22, the recent frost and sub zero temperatures, will bring on the rapid changes of the season.

Soon all the green will be ablaze with a palette of brilliant autumn tones.

The frost of the full moon has necessitated the picking of our apples.

There are so many thing s to d o with apples such as apple pie, apple sauce, apple juice, apple muffins or apple crisp.

When you are slicing the apples, be sure to leave on the peel, as that is where many of the beneficial nutrients are.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Stir the flour mixture into the apple mixture. Pour into an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.

Sprinkle the sugar cinnamon topping mixture on top of the cake and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

This cake is fine without icing, but if you would like to ice it, then you can eliminate the sugar and cinnamon topping and ice the cake with a spice butter cream icing.

For the spice icing, you can use such spices as: cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice. This cake would also be great served warm, with ice cream.

Drivers Beware – Increase In Wildlife Collisions RCMP Submitted

With the earlier darkness setting in, change of weather, and wildlife movement, there are a number of drivers striking wildlife while driving on Alberta roads.

Motorists need to be aware of the safety issues: Slow down when visibility is diminished such as darkness. If you come to strike an animal take the appropriate actions to have the dead animal removed from the road.

Put on your flashers, call the highway maintenance company in the area, and request assistance for removal if you are unable to safely do the same.

By driving away after a collision and leaving an obstruction on the road another motorist will strike it causing potential civil-

be resolved.

Alberta has had 446 animal strikes causing damage, injury and even death in August, 2014 which were reported to the RCMP. In September 2013, 752 were reported to the RCMP, in October 2013, it rose to 1116 strikes. We are anticipating again an increase in animal strikes causing property damage, injury, and potentially death in the coming months.

Drive carefully and use caution when in high risk areas where wildlife cross.

Report incidents where you see potential hazards. Please drive with care and be aware of your surroundings and hazards.

Educate yourself on whom to call when you come across an obstruction on the road that could pose a hazard for the next driver.

Mysteries Of The Mind In Marwayne

Nicole Crossan Reporter

“I didn’t want it to be a magic show.

I didn’t want it to be a hypnotic show. I wanted it to be an entertainment experience,” Dr. Morris stated on September 5.

One hour before his show in M a r w ay n e, D r. M o r r i s p e r f o r m e d m ag i c tr i c ks t a b l e -to -t a b l e. So m e au dien c e mem ber s were laug hing during the entire show.

Even shy and sceptical people were drawn to par ticipate by Dr. Morris’ friendly, easy-to-understand lingo.

A mem ber of The A mig os Nig ht Club, which has looked after his bookings on more than 20 occasions said, “He is constantly practicing and writing new material for his shows. He is one of the best hypnotists I have ever seen.”

Dr. Morris has created a “show so

awesome and thrilling that it will literally take your breath away.”

This could be because in 2012, Dr. Wayne Morris began a new show that would combine hypnosis, magic, and escapes. He called it: “Mysteries of the Mind.”

During the show, Dr. Morris used a mixture of magic (to enhance and promote the show), and hypnosis (not embarrassing antics, but mind-blowing stunts). He is also renowned for his “escapes that are meant to bring audiences to the edge of their seats.”

D r. Wa y n e M o r r i s w a s b o r n i n Ed monton and raise d in Gib b ons, Alberta where his dad owned a furniture and hardware store. Dr. Morris dreamed of being in the circus. He began as an impressionist of comic characters and worked, unknowingly, as a magician’s apprentice to his sister in his younger years. After he watched Houdini doing escapes, Dr. Morris had

a friend tie him up to a bike while he audience. learned to escape while riding it.

People in Marwayne left his show “I remember my dad doing magic feeling “amazed” and, “like they could tricks for children in the store,” Morris do anything they want with their lives.” recounted, “I can still see the look of amazement on their faces ... it left an impression on me forever.”

Pat Q u a i l, a n i n c r e d i b l e c l o s e up magician and student of Freddy Willard helped Wayne Morris to study an d prac t i se m ag i c. To b e c o m e a b e t t e r m a g i c i a n , D r. M o r r i s a l s o studied dance, juggling, mime, and escapes. In addition, he worked on ‘Project Magic’ a concept put together

by David Copper field to use magic as therapy for patients who had been badly injured.

Dr. Morris was later mentored by Gene Farmer, a fully trained therapist who pioneered bar hypnosis.

“Mysteries of the Mind is a show that has no limits,” Dr. Morris explained to Photo www.mysteriesofthemind.com. a packed Mar wayne Historic Hotel

Wild Pink Yonder Sue Chikie Reporter

Chloe Albert Is Coming To Town Elina Castro Reporter

Award-winning songwriter Chloe Albert will be in Vermilion on September 27, hosted by the Vermilion Folk Club. The show will take place at the Legion Hall at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the Vermilion Credit Union.

According to the website chloealbert. com, the Edmonton-based singer/songwriter was born and raised in the Alberta capital. Hers was a musical household with her mom’s acoustic guitar always in

easy reach, and the likes of Hendrix, Raitt and The Beatles on the family box.

Albert began playing the piano at age five, guitar in her teenage years, and eventually percussion, going on to play rhythm on ‘The Engadine Sessions: Come To The Mountain‘; a collaboration between Juno nominee Suzie Vinnick, Cara Luft, Kat Danser, Cori Brewster and Karla Anderson.

Her impressive debut in 2008 with a self-generated CD “Dedicated State” won her an Emerging Artist of the Year award at the Canadian Folk Music Awards and

serious support from CBC and CKUA networks along with the admiration of lights such as Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy.

The past couple of years have been a time of “coming alive,” and the inspiration for her latest work, Dream Catcher, about spirit, and about shared spirit. There is a strong message as well, regarding a dust-yourself-off-and-get-back-onyour-feet-again type of wisdom. Dream Catcher was independently released in June 2013.

Amber Bauer Fundraiser Nicole Crossan Reporter

Once a local musician, Amber Bauer, sang and played the Hammond organ and a keyboard on September 12 at a fundraiser held at the Heritage Park Pavilion in Stony Plain.

Amber Bauer, who grew up in Vermilion, and now lives in Vancouver, feels particularly compassionate towards fundraisers for parents and children, after her sister and brother-in-law were successful in adopting a child. This meant they had to find ways to come up with amounts ranging from $30,000 to $50,000.

This is why many of the fundraising

events Amber Bauer has done have been for parents who are unable to have their own children and who are trying to find enough money to cover the hidden costs of the adoption process.

Although the fundraiser for Lee Bergmann wasn’t for an adoption, the money raised will be put into a trust account for the four Bergmann children whose dad recently passed away in a tragic farming accident.

There was a gap in the family’s eligibility for insurance coverage, so three local communities have gathered resources and volunteers to put on a spectacular fundraiser that would help cover the costs the Bergmann family now has to bear. The trust fund is still open for donations.

“I’ve been trying to be involved in fundraisers whenever I can,” Bauer stated.

Amber Bauer was a backup vocalist for various bands at the Country Music Awards in Edmonton on the September 6-7 weekend. Some of the artists she backed up were Gord Bamford, Jason Blaine, and Chad Brownlee.

Bauer also just finished recording her debut album in Nashville. Her CD will be released on October 26 at the Vermilion

Alumni Theatre.

“This will be the first time this CD will be available to the public,” Bauer stated.

Tickets are $25 until October 1, with an increase to $30 after that. Get your tickets at Craig’s in Vermilion or on-line at www. amberbauer.com.

If you would like to invite Amber Bauer to provide music at your fundraiser, you can contact her via her website.

Michelle Varga stated, “It’s been a successful event. Thanks to everyone for your support--monetary donations, all the companies that donated, and everyone who volunteered their time.” Sara Kirk’s mother, Carolyn Davidsen, added, “The

Tlynn Russell painted Delaney Kirk and Addison MacDonald’s faces.

The Sara Kirk Fundraiser took place September 7 at the Myrnam/Derwent Golf Course. Forty-four golfers were registered and there were many more children, volunteers, and friends at the event.

Even Sara Kirk was feeling well enough to attend the event. As soon as she arrived, people gathered around to talk and get pictures of her and her children.

“The people have been amazing and the generosity that’s been shared has been overwhelming,” Sara Kirk said of her experience with the people in the area. She expressed a sincere gratitude and wanted to thank everyone that donated.

After being diagnosed with only a short period left to live due to cancer, Sara Kirk returned to her former home town in Myrnam, Alberta where she and her children will stay until either she beats the cancer or the dreaded alternative occurs.

“Sara has a very positive outlook on her diagnosis. She still thinks she is going to beat this,” one of her friends commented.

Sara Kirk arrived in Alberta on August 28. Kirk’s mother, Carolyn, flew to Ontario to pick up Sara Kirk, three children, and a fourth ‘baby’--their dog Penny. The family drove 500 km a day to make their way across the prairie provinces and take in some of the sights.

“It was a good trip here,” Sara Kirk smiled as she and her daughter, Delaney, discussed some of the highlights of their trek.

They stopped in White River, Ontario to see a statue of Winnie-the-Pooh commemorating the black bear cub that inspired A.A. Milne to write stories about Christopher Robin. Another stop was in Thunder Bay where they saw the greatest deposit of Amethyst in Canada at the Amethyst Mine Panorama. Another highlight was in Vermilion Bay along the Trans-Canada Highway when they saw three Inuksuks.

Since their arrival in Alberta, “It’s been a whirlwind of doctor’s appointments,” Sara Kirk added.

She has had two appointments in Edmonton and two in Bonnyville, which is a

response to the ads and inquiries has been absolutely wonderful. Just the amount of items donated to the silent auction is unbelievable,” Davidsen said as she pointed to the room of donations spilling out onto the lawn outside.

Martial Arts Is For Everyone Nicole Crossan Reporter

One of the displays at the Fall Organizational Awareness Day had a collection of weapons including a broad sword, and they should get an award for displaying the most unlikely weapon: fans.

The ‘dangerous’ fans pictured in the last issue of The Vermilion Voice were used by the Emperors’ wives and undercover bodyguards. They may have looked elegant, but the ornamentation was a disguise for poison-tipped feathers, and an iron fan ending in razors.

The fans used in classes today are a safe model made with bamboo or wood and no sharp edges or poison. Similarly, the swords and knives used in class are blunt-edged to demonstrate the weight and size of the instruments while students learn the techniques used in handling the actual weapons.

The Kuk Sool Won Association has one million students worldwide and 100,000 schools, so if you are moving, you may be able to continue your training in your new location.

The place where Kuk Sool Won originated, an island near Korea, “is the opposite of here,” Morgan Freeman, instructor at the Vermilion branch of this organization explained.

The highest ranked master in the worldwide Kuk Sool Won Association is a woman named Choon Uk Harman, aka: Iron Butterfly. Videos of her techniques can be seen on YouTube. Women play an important role in the nationality of Korea, but Kuk Sool Won isn’t just for women, martial arts are for everyone.

“With the proper training, you can change your limitations and progress,” Freeman explained, then added that if you want to be successful, “train as though you were a belt level higher.”

Morgan Freeman is a third degree black belt and has been in martial arts for 27 years. His assistant instructor, Emma Freeman, is a second degree black belt. Freeman has made Kuk Sool Won affordable for families, and their classes are always running.

Everyone is invited to stop by and find out more about the Kuk Sool Won style of martial arts.

Habitat for Humanity Fundraising On September 12, Habitat for Humanity Vermilion received a donation from the Masonic Lodge. Gwen and Tom Kibblewhite, representing Habitat for Humanity announced the total amount raised to date is $55,000. Habitat for Humanity Vermilion is a Project Committee of the Lloydminster Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit, ecumenical Christian housing organization working in partnership with people in need to build and renovate decent, affordable housing. The houses are then sold with no interest charged. The goal is to provide families in need with a “hand-up,” not a “hand-out”. For more information, visit habitatvermilion.ca. Photo Elina Castro.

St. Jerome School News Margaret McCormack Submitted

On Sunday, September 7, 2014 a team of St. Jerome’s students and staff participated in the Ovarian Cancer walk. The team fundraised over $700. Congratulations to Karley Dieken raising $230 in sponsors. This year the students walked to support Angie Bildfell. The team consisted of Angie Bildfell, Reese Bildfell, Kaylie Krys, Katherine Pulyk, Brianne Wheat, Karley Dieken, Mrs. Dieken, and Mrs. Green.

On Tuesday, September 9, Miss Ryan, from Dance Impressions with Ryan, came to the school to teach the students some dance moves, which will be used in an upcoming event. Ryan spent the afternoon first teaching the elementary students followed by the Jr. High students all learning the same dance choreography. The students were very eager to learn the dance moves and are excited that Ryan will be back next week to work on the dance again.

Sister Gloria stopped by for a quick visit to St. Jerome’s during the first week of school.

She visited a variety of classrooms informing the students how their donations from last year brought better educational opportunities to the children in her community in Peru. Mr. MacMillan presented her with a $1000 cheque to continue to support the efforts of Sister Gloria. Every Friday during the school year is “Charity Friday” where high school students can donate money.

Father Roger has also started his weekly visits to St. Jerome’s. He comes in every Friday morning to visit 4 classrooms. The students were very excited to see Father Roger and look forward to his visits.

It was a great idea to wear “shades” on Wednesday, as the hallways were very bright as students dressed up for the first spirit day, “Neon Day”. The bright pinks, oranges, greens and yellows brightened up the hallways for the day as students and staff were adorned in bright shirts, skirts, shoes, socks and more.

The Sr. Boys and Girls Volleyball teams had a terrific first tournament at King’s University in Edmonton last weekend. Both teams played in the semi-finals losing hard fought battles. The Jr. High Boys had a very successful weekend at the Holy Rosary

Tournament in Lloydminster bringing home the Silver medal. Congratulations to all of our teams.

The Elementary students have started swimming lessons. Mrs. Martin’s Grade 2 class and Mrs. McCormack’s Grade 5 Class started this week. The other 4 classes will take their sessions in October.

We have been exercising our democratic voting process, and we are excited to get the year started. Here is the hint: (MEMA) (Mannville Elementary??) Can you guess?

The milk program has also started and the grade 6 Milk Managers (Alexis and Brody) have been successful in their pouring and delivering the milk. Milk is offered on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Mannville School is looking for some donations to help keep this valuable program running. Please contact the school if you are interested.

This year Mannville School is hosting the North East Zone Golf tournament along with St. Jerome’s School in Vermilion. On September 16th, gentlemen from around the zone will be coming to Mannville and the ladies will be going to Vermilion.

The Sr. Girls Volleyball team made the trip to Provost for an Early Bird tournament. The girls played on Friday night, then spent the night at the Almberg Farm. Miss Almberg, who grew up in Provost opened her parents’ house up to the team for the evening.

Running Crazy, “and…the race is on!”

Staff and students exchanged flip flops for shoes with insoles and welcomed the new school year bound to make this the best year ever. Instead of a blast from a racing horn they begin each of their race days with the bells of an alarm. With the warm up now over, they have settled into a slow rhythm and pace themselves for the most wondrous endurance test of their lives… continuing their education!

Already in the few short weeks since

2nd place age category medal winners DOAC Arm Lake Trail Run: Shannon Bakos & Susanna Pankiw.

school started there have been some great happenings at the school. Friday, September 5th ended with a splash and a great many squeals as the staff participated in the ALS Ice Bucket challenge. Nominated by the Dewberry Co-op, they stood under the bucket of a front end-loader and were doused with the ice cold water as it cascaded onto them like a waterfall. Too cold to handle, some of the staff made a mad dash through the walls to their escape!

Why do we do this ice challenge? The freezing temperatures that are experienced are supposed to represent similar numbing effects of people inflicted with ALS, and recording it gives the message a chance to go viral so that more people will become aware of the disease. Donations are encouraged and the staff have plans to eventually do so. Principal, Curt Orbeck challenged the schools of Marwayne and Clandonald.

The cross country and volleyball teams started practice the first week back. Building on their skills from last year they are working towards vital development to keep them in the running for competition. Volleyball tournaments were held this past weekend and the runners are preparing for their first event, Runnin’ Riverdale on September 17th!

Races don’t just happen at school, some school members also take time out of their personal lives to participate in the many running events that are held around the province. Shannon Bakos and Susanna Pankiw partook in two separate events at the annual DOAC Arm Lake Trail Run on September 6th, both placed 2nd in their age categories. Shannon also collected another medal for participating in all three

Ask the home inspector:

TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:

Q: THE LINOLEUM NEAR MY PATIO DOORS IS CURLING. I HAVE TRIED TO CAULK IT BACK DOWN BUT IT JUST HAPPENS AGAIN. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

A: Many patio doors are installed with a slanted threshold to move the

water out away from the door. The problem is when there is a wind some of that moisture is driven in under the threshold where it comes into contact with the edge of the lino. When the linoleum gets damp it tends to curl.

Even a well-sealed joint between the linoleum and the threshold will curl in time if moisture is recurring. I often find dampness in this area even when no damage is evident. It is best to use a high quality flexible silicon caulking. If there is any access on the outside under the threshold I recommend caulking there as well. Preventing the moisture from getting in under the door is the key.

Monday was awash with color, each member was dressed in their best Panther team color. You would be a Redneck if, oh wait we were all rednecks on Redneck Tuesday! Wednesday everyone dressed in their best formal wear. Thursday was a welcome relief, hat day!! Friday we let it all hang loose….our hair, that is!

In our school, if you’re a Panther you’re champion. We hope that all Panthers will remember the impassioned words of tennis star, Billie Jean King, “champions keep playing until they get it right.” The Dewberry Panthers plan to do just that all year long until we successfully cross the finish line!

Marauders Football News

careers

Reporter

Football is usually measured by yards gained, but it was the missed by inches plays that sealed the Marauders’ fate in their second game, a 40-21 loss in Westlock to the host Thunderbirds.

After looking disorganized on defence in the first half and not being able to exploit the offensive opportunity of open receivers combined with multiple fumbles, the Marauder defense and offense both got rolling in the second half.

As Westlock coach Jon Kramer put it post-game, “We were lucky to play you the first week, your upside is so huge.”

Quarterback Colton Katuski , 6 for 18 passing, had good protection from the offensive line when he looked downfield to a consistently open left side, but a cross wind played havoc for the receivers who had the ball go just beyond their extended hands and off their fingertips.

Scoreless and down by 27 late in the half, the Marauders finally hit the scoreboard on a 65-yard, 12-play, penalty-assisted drive.

Running back Brayden Chilibeck contributed 46 of those yards on the ground. His third fumble of the game was negated by a facemask call against Westlock. With five seconds left, Westlock was also called for pass interference in the end zone. Chilibeck scored with no time left on the clock.

The Marauders scored first in the second half when they forced the T-Birds to concede a safety. That was at least four points less than they expected when Chilibeck’s running brought them from their own 50 to the Westlock 10 where the home side forced a fumble that they recovered on their 1 yard line. However, a recharged defence kept the T-Birds there after great backfield

penetration let by Donovan Yaceyko.

Westlock scored shortly after the Marauders didn’t convert a third down gamble taking the score to 33-8. But it took only two plays after the ensuing kickoff for the Marauders to score again.

Katuski was looking for a double teamed Branden Maida, but a potential interception was tipped into the hands of Yaceyko who took the ball to the house for the 49-yard pass and run TD. He also provided the convert to take the Marauders to 15 points with 1:23 left in the third quarter.

Yaceyko, named the captain’s star, finished the day with 3 passes for 96 yards on offence and 10 tackles on the other side of the ball. He also finished the game early after being hit away from the play late in the final quarter. The offence tried going to the air for quick score, but Katuski was

picked off. In the aftermath Westlock was called for unnecessary roughness and the Marauders for unsportsmanlike conduct while Yaceyko was down on the far sidelines. The game was halted for more than 20 minutes with 2:23 left on the clock while Yaceyko was assessed and an ambulance was called for a suspected concussion.

The Marauders scored their final TD on their first possession in the fourth quarter.

Chilibeck, who carried the ball 23 times for 150 yards, provided the bulk of the yardage on tough runs up the middle, but it was rookie Maida who caught the 12-yard pass in the end zone. The convert attempt was derailed with a bad snap Twice in the final quarter the Marauder defense forced the Thunderbirds to turn the ball over on downs.

Points after: Rookies made their pres-

ence felt on offense: Maida had two catches for 23 yards, Noah Sanson had a 13 yard reception and Tyson Pashulka carried once for 5 yards…Katuski had 11 net yards on 3 carries…Chilibeck had two solid special teams tackles… 16 Marauders contributed tackles. Jeremiah Ball and Ryley Bates both counted 3.5 tackles and rookie Carter Usenik had three. Second year linemen Axel Myshak, William Snider and Scott Zielinski were all solid contributors. Colten Convey and Tristen Gagne provided pressure on blitzes called by new defensive coach Nick Wolfe. Other new Marauder coaches are Earl Weidner and Marauder alumnus Ken Myshak…Last week’s coaches stars were linemen Zielinski and Ball, Usenik and Devon Winter on defence, Katuski and Chilibeck on offence and Yaceyko on special teams.
