Puppet Play With A Message

Shannon O’Connor Reporter

Puppeteer Joel Kafka’s one man Puppetual Motion show delivered a play with a message at the Vermilion Public Library on Wednesday, July 22. The show is part of a Northern Lights Library tour that

Kafka is on, and Vermilion was the fifth stop on the tour.

Kafka has a background in marine biology and the theme of the show in Vermilion was water conservation.

“The show is about taking care of water,” said Kafka.

Children followed Kafka’s protagonist puppet, Jolanda the valley goat, on her quest to find a fresh water source in the mountains as her village has run out of

water.

She meets allies as well as a disgruntled goat (Billy Goat Gruff) along the way, including a marmet who gives Jolanda the following advice: “Water always follows the path of least resistance, so should you.”

When Jolanda appears to be stuck on a rock and thinks she can’t climb any higher, Billy the Kid appears and tells her she can “Defy gravity.”

Jolanda is able to free herself from the

rock and climb to the top of the mountain to find a new source of water.

“I use puppets to tell a story,” Kafka said.

The children were invited to engage with the play through visualization and predicting outcomes.

“It’s more entertaining when there is engagement with the children.”

Kafka is an Edmonton-based entertainer and is the Director of Puppetual Motion. He has been performing for the past six years.

Vandalism In Vermilion

“We’re lucky it was just the door,” said Total Image Owner Elaine Gill, “Nothing was disturbed or touched. There was glass everywhere. I got a telephone call to alert me at 8 a.m. from some people who noticed when they were out for their morning walk. It ruined my day; I spent the morning cleaning up the glass. I guess it must have been fun for them to see the glass shatter.”

Sammy’s Restaurant and Anthony’s Classic Grill were also targets of vandalism.

“They busted open the front door and all of our tills. They took change from the tills but it was mostly damage that was caused,” said Sammy’s restaurant owner Said Nasr. “I have security cameras but unfortunately I didn’t have the cameras turned on at this time.”

July 27 2015 | The Vermilion Voice

Lorna Hamilton Editor

Each year since moving to Vermilion eight years ago, I have always eagerly awaited the arrival of the Vermilion Fair. I have enjoyed it immensely and this year was no different.

Sue came to me on Monday morning and asked what I thought about putting an entry in the parade. And me being me, I quickly said “hell yes! That would be fun!”

We sat at our desks brainstorming; we didn’t have a trailer to decorate or anything to pull it with so we decided to decorate my car and enter it in the decorated car category.

Sue being the trusting person that she is,

Dear Editor, This is an open letter to all Lakeland Rural Electrification Association (REA) members.

If you’re a Lakeland Rural Electrification Association (REA) member, you’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of information lately. You’ve probably also seen some negative ads published in your local newspapers and are wondering what to make of it all. ATCO Electric and our employees have been at the receiving end of those newspaper ads and we’d like a chance to clear the air.

ATCO Electric has a Wire Owners Agreement with Lakeland REA that expires on December 31st of this year and it’s up for renewal. This Agree-

Fun At The Fair

left it in my hands to come up with an idea; and while to be honest, I had no idea what I was doing, I came up the idea of making a tree type scene with roots and old pictures showing the history of our town along with cowboy boots that would sit upon the roof of my car to try and stay within the theme of this year’s fair “Local Roots and Cowboy Boots.”

The vision of what I wanted it to look like was clear in my mind, but making it happen would be another story. I ran all over town for two days trying to find the items we would need to make it happen. The finished product did “kind of” look like the pretty picture in my head, but it didn’t turn out quite the way I envisioned it.

Sue with her wisdom came up with the idea of placing our paper together to show local news, and I have to say, I think it was brilliant. What better way to show local roots

Letter To The Editor

ment exists because ATCO Electric and Lakeland REA operate and maintain interconnected electrical systems.

ATCO Electric’s system is the backbone that Lakeland REA poles and lines are connected to that deliver electricity to Lakeland REA members.

The Agreement also allows ATCO Electric to submit a proposal to purchase Lakeland REA’s distribution system. Because we think Lakeland REA members would consider this as a viable option to sustain its electrical service into the future, we made an offer to Lakeland REA members to purchase the system.

To characterize this as a ‘hostile takeover’ attempt is simply not true. This

Response To Letter To the Editor

Dear Editor, In last week’s edition of the Hiway 16 News, the Vermilion Voice, the Vermilion Standard and the Vegreville News Advertiser, a Letter to the Editor was published titled “Innisfree – Do Not Pay Minimum Tax”.

The Council of the Village of Innisfree would like to take this opportunity to clear up any confusion surrounding these matters.

The Letter to the Editor suggests the application of a minimum property tax is illegal. This is incorrect. Levying a minimum property tax is legal in accordance with Section 357(1) of the Municipal Government Act, which states, ‘Despite anything in this Division, the property tax bylaw may specify a minimum amount payable as property tax’.

Alberta Municipal Affairs has approved the Village of Innisfree’s 2015 Tax Rate Bylaw and minimum tax rate.

then the ones that are in print each and every week.

The project was absolutely fun to do and I believe it made our little office just that much closer as we all chipped in with the decorations; fluffing those pompoms and decorating the car the day before and in the early morning hours before the parade. It was our bonding time and it made the Fair that much more special to me.

While I didn’t have a lot of time to spend at the Fair, I did get the opportunity to go on Thursday evening for a while and it was just as much fun as I remembered it to be.

I am not one for the rides, as I have a slight tendency to get motion sickness, and to be honest, I really don’t think the people who do enjoy them would appreciate receiving my last meal in their lap. I enjoy seeing the animals and the booths at the trade show,

The Village of Innisfree contacted several Alberta municipalities to determine their minimum property tax procedures. Out of 31 municipalities contacted, 20 municipalities did levy a minimum property tax for their budget.

Village of Innisfree 2015 Property Taxes are due on August 31, 2015. A 12 per cent penalty on unpaid current taxes will be applied on September 1, 2015, a 2 per cent penalty on October 1, 2015, and a 2 percent penalty on November 1, 2015.

Any person with questions regarding the Village of Innisfree 2015 Property Tax levy is encouraged to call the Village Office at 780-592-3886.

Respectfully Yours, The Council of the Village of Innisfree Jennifer Hodel, Chief Admistrative Officer, Village of Innisfree

is an offer that you, as Lakeland REA members, can either accept or not. It is your choice. And in order for you to make an informed decision, we’ve been providing fact-based information to members through brochures and information sessions.

We’re an Alberta-based company in the business of building and maintaining electrical infrastructure in a service territory defined for us by the Government of Alberta, and Lakeland REA falls within that service territory. We currently serve 254 communities in rural Alberta and we’re good at what we do – we’ve been doing it for 85 years. We’re also proud to live, work and volunteer in those communities and we believe the

editorial

along with just being able to walk around and see all the smiling and happy faces especially those of the children attending the Fair; some for the first time. The excitement on those little faces can bring that fuzzy warm feeling to anyone. It just makes me happy to see.

The Vermilion Agricultural Society spends months and countless hours planning this Fair for us and the visitors of our town each and every year and I think this is a great opportunity to thank them and the volunteers who dedicate their time for our enjoyment. The weather wasn’t very cooperative this year but all in all I believe their hard work was still a huge success. The pictures I have seen taken by our reporters showed lots of happy faces both young and old. Thank you for all that you do, and I can’t wait to see it all again next year!!

members of Lakeland REA can benefit from our local services too.

We are committed to providing information to Lakeland REA members so you can make an informed choice about the future of your electrical service. We encourage you to ask questions of us and of your Board. This is a big decision and one that should be made based on trust and facts rather than on fear and misinformation. It is your choice.

If you have any questions, let’s talk.

Please visit an ATCO Electric office or call us at 1-800-668-2248.

Around The Campfire

Neil B. Stratton Columnist

Mid-July has been nice to us, regard ing no major heat wave anyway, but still nice enough to hit the beach or a sand bar down at the river, and I ‘m hoping August will be as nice, with rain appreciated.

Miss Pickles is doing as well as can be expected with her antics after her big operation with being spayed or fixed.

This past Monday was 10 days after her operation and was time to have her staple removed.

Ya…a row longer than your cell phone of huge staples. One of the doc’s at the veterinarian’s came out with forceps, scissors, wire cutter, a pliers type tool, and asked if I was going to hold her down.

Noooo…I don’t think so. So they brought in an aid to help. It’s not a gory thing that bothers me, it’s the fact that gory thing was on my good buddy, so they got her laying down and looked at her belly…then looked at me!

I kinna looked off into the distance and whistled and mumbled “I told her she was gonna get trouble” and proceeded to put all the blame on her. “She would not stay out of the duck pond...or slow down on the roughhousing.”

In fact a shooter was at the shop and as I worked on his bow he stared out the window with wide eyes, so I had to see what she was doing. Right beside our home we have a huge old elm tree.

there were nests everywhere and they had a nasty attitude.

Unprovoked they blasted out of buildings, trees and just flying by, zapping us with painful stings. Now…my demeanor when dealing with wasps and their nests is usually, if you leave me alone I will leave you alone.

However because of their strange actions and temper…this was war!

Sunday ZI drove into town and bought three big cans of wasp eliminator; one can spray up to 20 feet away and destroy on contact.

The other spray only spayed half as far but on contact turned into a foam like shaving cream. I sprayed nests in buildings, deep in some of elm trees, and anywhere they hung out.

It is not something I like to do but was beyond living in harmony. I did find a nest of our natural bumble bees and we have an understanding so they were left in peace.

The bumble bee, with a nicer nature and disposition will not sting unless very provoked, who will perish also if they sting you as the stinger stays in you pumping toxins.

Our mild mannered bumble is on the decline due to a bee disease to the point of being endangered, and they were our biggest pollinators for trees, plants, fruit and vegetables. We will soon have to take measures to save our bumble bee.

Wasps and hornets, however, were not affected by diseases that effected bumble bee and honey bees and are thriving. Also, contrary to belief, a wasp/

Canada Lives Here

Margaret Lonsdale Columnist

There are huge branches that almost defy gravity and grow straight out for meters; a perfect place for a rope swing that I hand made a nice wooden seat for.

And alongside that, a single big swinging rope with knots in it.

Well here was Miss Pickles twisting up the swing round and round to let it spin.

Then she jumped up and with her mouth latched on to the hanging rope with her feet well off the ground spinning her butt round and round twisting like the swing.

My only comment was “I’m telling”… but alas we both got trouble…there was no mystery when she got an infection and swelling in her stitches. We were told the stitches couldn’t be removed for at least another week.

So we both walked out of the vet’s with our tails tucked between our legs and well over $100.00 worth of medicines; one was a sedative/anti-inflammatory and some antibiotics…with very strict instructions.

So this week is going to be a long one for her as I keep her in the shop all day, then in the evening in the house beside my couch watching TV together. NO dipping in the duck pond…NO roughhousing!

I mentioned in last week’s column that we both got stung by wasps and hornets just after her operation, and all that weekend with over a half dozen stings between us.

The drought c onditions mad e it prime for the yellow jacket wasps and the meaner black jacket hornets, and for some reason all thoughout our yard

All things shift and change. It’s the natural order of things. If we refuse to update ourselves, our manner of living, then our encounters with the world become a bewildering traverse across an alien landscape beyond our understanding. Resistance to change, you might say, is futile.

Except when change is counter to maintaining quality of living, that is.

Except when change diminishes-or eliminates altogether-those aspects of something that ser ves us well in its current form. Except when change irrevo c ably alter s something inte gral to our identity, to our sense that, despite vast distances between us, both geographically and culturally, we share in something unique and quite priceless. Except when change leaves a void that can never again be filled. Except when change severs a

line of communication, of awareness, of pride, leaves an absence and a deafening silence in the aftermath for which we can be neither compensated nor consoled.

Dramatic, I know. I make no apology for being a fierce defender of our national broadcaster and all that it has represented to me and many other Canadians for many years.

The Standing Senate Committee o n Tr a n s p or t a n d C o m m u n i c at i o n (TRCM) issued its Report on the CBC this month, setting out its analysis of the current status of the corporation and offering a total of 22 recommendations to assist it and government in modernizing operations in order to successfully navigate the future.

Many of the recommendations appear practical and straight-forward, but others raise alarms. Recommendation 8, for example, reads as follows: CBC/Radio-Canada divest itself of its current real estate holdings and lease facilities and office space required for its operations.

Lease rather than occupy existing, functional facilities? At what expense for such relocation? To what gain?

Who owns the property management c o m p a ny lur k i n g o n t h e s i d e l i n e s awaiting this profitable windfall?

Already, the Conservative government has dramatically slashed funding for the CBC. Production studios previously employing highly qualified personnel responsible for producing uniquely Canadian film, television, and radio programming featuring known and yet-to-become-known Canadian talent have ceased to exist. What ’s become of the expensive equip ment? Inser t your best guess here: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. The real estate’s been sold. And the highly trained, experienced, and dedicated technical and production personnel? Well, maybe they’re now unemployed, working as gas station at tendants, or seeking relocation to a more friendly broadcasting environment.

Recommendation 16 suggests that: CBC/Radio - Canada examine the costs and the benefits of commercial advertising on both the English and French services.

Introducing commercial advertising on CBC is like releasing an obnoxious jabbermouth into a sanctuary.

Recommendation 21 is that: CBC/Radio- Canada discontinue all i n - h o u s e p r o d u c t i o n o f n o n - n ew s and current affairs programming, and instead emphasize the broadcasting of performances by Canadian artists a n d c u l t u r a l eve n t s , s u c h a s t h e Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the Edmonton Opera, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal.

Regurgitation of what already exists is one way to adhere to the limitations brought about by severe budget cuts, I suppose. Drones can operate the equipment.

Selling off valued real estate and equipment, ceasing all in-house

The Vermilion Voice | July 27, 2015

hornet does sting not bite, and can sting you as many times as they please.

As I say it’s not something I usually like to do but that was unprovoked war. Won that battle and now during peacetime I will take most environmentally conscious precautions.

Here is a neat little trick; dollar and hardware stores carry a fake hornet’s nest, like the baseball size grey paper style nest you see in trees and on buildings. One brand name is “Get Lost Wasps”.

The wasps and hornets are very territorial so when they see these they will stay some great distance away of what they think is another colony. So I placed them in strategic areas around the yard.

As an added precaution I spray them with a little OFF repellant so they won’t take it over if they realize it is empty. You will still occasional wasps and hornets on their daily duties, but it truly repels their numbers and nests.

It’s nice and cool outdoors right now so I am going for a walk, see how many garter snakes I can see along the creek… find an excuse get out there!

When the Smoke Clears Poking your eye or a hornet’s nest with a stick will truly make you see things different very quickly!

productions other than ‘news’, generating revenue through commercial advertising leaves out important and defining elements of consideration: the role of imagination and the accumulation of knowledge for knowledge’s sake within a vibrant democracy.

It ’s c ur ious that dur ing times of p e r c e i ve d e c o n o m i c a n d p o l i t i c a l tumult, the role of imagination, the value of artistic expression-and even science-is not only understated but undermined and dismissed. There isn’t justification, some policy-makers claim, to merit that government suppor t such trivialities as passion for exploring the stories of ordinary people, or curiosity, celebrating the va s t d i ve r s i t y p r e s e nt a c r o s s o ur nation. The narrow-minded non-vision of such planning for our nation’s future abdicates any governmental responsibility for enhancing our awareness of each other through feature productions created by us, for us, so that we might better understand each other while better understanding ourselves through an increased knowledge of our richly diverse history.

It’s a sad and pitiable state we find ourselves facing when there seem endless funds available for waging wars against an indefinable enemy, for purchasing overpriced and underfunctioning equipment, for the unnecessar y renaming and restructuring of museums to glorify military might, for funding productions of expensive, negativity-infested marketing videos f o r g o v e r n m e n t ’s p o m p o u s s e l f pro m otio n, for ere c ting grotesque and ill-conceived monuments, for so many massively expensive but inert projects, none of which serve us, the c it izen s, w hil e CBC -w here all our voices are represented-lies writhing on life support in what is fast becoming a desolate landscape where our stories slowly dissolve to dust and scatter to distant places where they may be heard but just barely above a whisper.

Franklin Wolters Columnist

Ver y early in the history of this part of the country, in 1907 the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was still east of Wainwright and the problem of crossing the formidable canyon of the Battle River, had to be addressed.

The present site of the trestle was chosen and work began.

A good portion of the first materials for the concrete foundation was freighted across country by horse drawn wagons and of course the necessary moving of dirt for grades and cuts was achieved by horse and man power!! If you really want to be amazed just journey west from Wainwright and picture the activity of all these men and horses doing all that work is really amazing.

The trestle itself is 2775 feet long and the grades leading from either end are very high and wide. There had to be a good deal of earth moved. The trestle is 195 feet high over the river, imagine crawling around putting that trestle together.

Dawn Hames Columnist

Sometimes we need a quick and easy s u p p e r, e s p e c i a l l y after work.

Taco salad fills the bill. I made this the other night and wondered why it is not part of more of our meals.

There is no need to buy taco seasoning mixes or commercial salad dressings, but if you are pressed for time or ingredients, many people will use a catalina or

columnist & careers

The Fabyan Battle River Testle

Think of dropping a wrench out there and watching it fall almost 200 feet down to the river. The reading at the lookout states that three men drowned in the river when the scow they were on capsized and dumped them into the river. Yes, it came at a huge cost in men and materials, and the debt had a part in putting the railroad into receivership and was taken over in 1919 by Canadian National!!

In early times although my dad was a real railroad fan, I never saw the structure until I started flying and for the fun of it would fly alongside and revel in the sight. Unforgettable memory.

In later times the trail down to the trestle was improved and made all weather, and many times my friend Phyllis and I would make a picnic lunch and sit and watch the train come and go across. Another precious memory.

In these days of giant track hoes and huge earth moving machinery we might not realize the undertaking that saw this railroad come to reality. It was so very instrumental in the settling of the whole area.

Until the railroad was open there was

ranch dressing for their taco salad.

Meat topping Approx 1/2 to 3/4 of a kilogram of ground meat 1 onion chopped 2 cloves garlic finely chopped 2 tomatoes 2 teaspoons chili powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon sriracha hot chili sauce.

Brown the ground meat until cooked, add the onion garlic chopped tomatoes

no way for people to arrive, and of course make it possible for anything they produced to be transported to any market.

In this day of paved hi-ways – and all the communications we enjoy, it’s hard to realize the very real value the railroad carried!!

The main line towns along the railroad serviced large areas on either side and settlers and homesteaders flooded into the country very shortly after the rail link was opened to traffic.

Of course in early times the steam engine was the main power and a train of 50 or so cars was larger than average!! Since these times the diesel locomotive has replaced the steam and trains are often 100 cars more than that.

Much of the rail line has been twinned, and though the trestle is only one track you can often see trains coming from either direction as they can meet on the double sections. It’s hard to imagine the increase of traffic and weight that, that old structure has to withstand now-a-days. But it must have been built many times stronger than they had realized.

Any mishaps have been few and far

and seasoning. If you substitute a hot sauce such as Franks Red Hot instead of the sriracha sauce you may have to reduce the salt. Cook 5 – 7 minutes until the onions and tomatoes are soften and the spaces have blended.

Salad Romaine lettuce head, torn into bite size pieces 1 tomato chopped 1 perfectly ripe avocado chopped 1/3 cup sliced black olives (optional) 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed (optional) 1/3 cup chopped or thinly sliced red onion or green onion tops 1/2 – 3/4 cup grated farmer, mozzarella or cheddar cheese 1 cup chopped cilantro (optional) Taco Chips 1 bag of taco chips of your choice Avocado Garlic Lime Dressing 1 avo c a d o, p e e l e d a n d l a r g e l y chopped 1 lime juiced 1/3 cup Greek yogurt 1 teaspoons olive oil 1 clove of garlic minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce 2 tablespoons water Combine all the ingredients in a mini food processor and blend until smooth.

I tend to serve the green salad in one bowl, the meat topping in another, the grated cheese in another small bowl and

between, although one cold spell about five years ago thirty cars of grain jumped the tracks and hit the river. If it hadn’t have been so cold it would have been a sight to see!!

Sometimes in the space of one hour I have witnessed trains passing over the trestle every 20 minutes or so. Yes, the traffic is terrific. Don’t take my word for it, some nice sunny afternoon, pack a nice lunch, grab a camera and head west of Wainwright until just before you reach Fabyan, a sign on hi-way 14 says, “Trestle” with an arrow pointing west. Follow the road about two miles and when it ends turn right and follow a nice gravel road to the lookout point.

Unpack your lunch and surely before long you’ll see a long, long train cross the trestle.

Then later you can take in the Fabyan Trading Post and find some bargains in work clothes and furniture.

Then, if you feel adventurous you can follow route 14 to Irma and visit another favorite stop for me, The little antique store, “Like it Never Was” and say “Hello” to Diane and have her show you some antiques from the time of the early settling of this country.

the dressing in another container, and of course the taco chips.

Each person can assemble the salad on their plate. I also know of people that mix all of the ingredients together, in one large bowl just before serving.

You can do whatever way you like best, however if you will have leftovers, the lettuce soon wilts in the all mixed together version.

Side accompaniments include salsa and sour cream. If you don’t like your food too spicy, start with half the amount of hot chili sauce.

If you have the choice bet ween “ They are not a hard sell,” said Dewberry and District Agricultural Society Secretary Treasurer Holly Holmen. There is only one prize to be won. The winner will have the choice of 25 commercially bred red heifers or $50,000.00 cash.”

The heifers are owned by the Dewberry and District Agricultural Society and are up for the taking if you win. The proceeds are being raised to build a new hockey rink in Dewberry.

“We will not go a winter without an ice supply and install siding, rink in Dewberry,” said Holmen. “All the soffit, fascia, windows, doors, money hasn’t been handed in yet. We’re roofing and eavestroughing. getting close to $200,000 in sales and a sellout is $250,000.”

The Dewberry and District Agricultural Thirty years experience Society purchased the heifers and Bruce Discount for seniors Goldsmith and his wife Darlene have fed we serve Alberta and them over the winter and are pasturing them this summer.

“We haven’t started the ice rink yet, our goal is start in the spring of 2016. We will have to demolish the existing structures; the new ice rink will cost 3.9 million. We are well on our way to reaching our goal.

We have a lot of applications out there that will help us reach our goal.

“Tickets are $100.00 each with only 2500 tickets printed, so you have a one in 2500 chance which is much better than a Lotto 649,” said Holmen.

July 15. Heifers will be pregnancy checked prior to the draw date of July 30, 2015.

HOROSCOPE/SUDOKU AND SOLUTIONS Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

Keep your eyes open!

Sudden opportunities to travel might drop in your lap today. Wheee! An unexpected chance to take a course or get further education or training might also occur. Whatever happens - do something different because you need a change in your routine.

Yeah!

An unexpected gift or favour might come your way today.

If you have to deal with the division of something or an inheritance, you might suddenly come out on top. If someone is inclined to give you something today accept it, with gratitude.

Fast.

Relations with partners, close friends, and members of the general public, are subject to surprises today. Either you want more freedom or someone else does.

Someone might enlighten you in a way that allows you to learn something new and exciting. "Eureka! I can spell Archimedes."

Something different will break your daily routine at work today. Hopefully, it is pleasant. Perhaps the introduction of new, high-tech equipment or fun toys? It is possible that computer crashes or equipment breakdowns will be the cause. Grrr.

Hang in there.

Leo

Virgo

Libra

Scorpio

Surprise invitations to social events might please you today. Something will happen that you are not expecting. It could be as minor as a saucy flirtation, or it might be news about a sudden vacation or a chance to push your agenda in the arts. A fun day!

Your home routine will be interrupted today. Your day might begin by running out of something in the morning. "What? No coffee?"

Small appliances might break down or breakages could occur. More likely, a family member will surprise you or someone will knock on your door.

This is an interesting Monday, to say the least.

Short trips, new faces, new places and new ideas will be in the mix. It certainly will not be a boring day, that's for sure. Stay light on your feet so that you can move in either direction. "I'm on it!"

Stay on top of your financial scene today because it's possible that you can boost your earnings, get a raise or have something happen that suddenly changes your earnings or cash flow.

Hopefully, for the better.

You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions.

Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

This could be your lucky day!

The Moon is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus, which means anything can happen. But quite likely, whatever occurs will bring pleasant surprises that catch you off guard. You might even win something.

Yay me! It could be worth playing a long shot.

This is a restless day for you, in many ways. It's Monday, so of course, you have to get with the program. Right now you are focused on shared property, taxes, inheritances and dealing with the wealth and assets of others. Be patient with someone who is annoying.

Someone you know, or someone in a group, might say or do something that surprises you today.

Alternatively, you might meet someone who is a real character, certainly memorable! Your exchanges with others might cause you to modify your future goals.

In a way, you are high viz. today. Other people seem to know stuff about you.

(Like, what's with that?) In fact, information about you might be suddenly publicized or "out there" in some way. Bosses and authority figures might say or do something that amazes you.

Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club Show Displays Skill, Showmanship And Quality

“It’s the highlight of their calendar year,” said 4-H Sheep Leader Blair Dow. “It was great to see everyone up early this morning cleaning and getting their sheep ready.”

The Annual Vermilion 4-H Achievement Show and sale took place on July 21 at the Vermilion Ag Society Sheep Barn.

Madison Ferguson who had her sheep Coconut up for sale said, “I’m going to

be really sad to say goodbye to Coconut when I sell him tonight.”

The children did the judging themselves, they looked for longer legs and longer loins.

“There’s quite a bit of meat on this one,” said one of the young judges.

The sale price for the highest sheep was $500 and the lowest sale price went for $325.

This year’s Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club had 18 members in total. Thirteen

“They really put a lot of work into them, feeding them every day. It really teaches them about the reality of life too. Madison will be sad to say goodbye to her sheep today but it’s all part of life,” said Carlene Fergusion (Madison’s mother).

Having raised their sheep from lambs to fully grown market sheep ready for the Show and Sale, the Achievement Day classes were followed by the Market Lamb Classes at the Market Lamb Sale.

“They have put a lot of hard work into their lambs this year, they raised and took total responsibly for them. They breed their ewes to lamb about mid-March in order to have market lambs achieve industry standard market weights by Achievement Day which is between 105 to 115 lbs,” added Dow. Members showed off the skills and knowledge in livestock health, livestock nutrition, animal behaviour and animal handling in the show ring.

“It was a better year than other years.

The average selling price was better,” said assistant 4-H Sheep Leader Doug McCrae. “It’s hard to part with them, they turn into a pet.

The two people who guessed the correct weight in the 50/50 raffle ’Guess The Weight Of The Seven Moms,’ were Lennie Hryciuk and Jess Ferguson.”

New Community Oven Serves Bread During The Parade

Preparations started early at the new community oven at 5 a.m. on July 23.

“We heated the oven with the fire for 3 hours and at 8 a.m. all the fire and ash was cleaned out and the baking started. The fresh baked buns with jam were very popular; the single buns that did not sell were packed up and sold by the dozen for a complete sell through. It was a great success,” said Project Chair Craig Brown.

The buns and jam were donated by Apple Drugs and $630.00 was raised for continuing the Vermilion Heritage Park project.

“This very busy early morning would not have been possible without the help of Dianne Dunn, Judy Woyewitka and Bonita Brown all helping me.”

As Open Stage Manager at the Vermilion Fair, Rick Dees handled the logistics of 20 musical acts over three days. “It’s a political role. I keep everybody happy,” Dees said.

He added that despite a couple of cancellations things ran pretty smoothly.

“The cancellations gave other bands an opportunity to play longer.”

Dees said he likes to book a variety of acts and that during the 2014 open stage there was even a Trash band and a mosh pit.

“Some of it’s a risk,” he added. “But it is an open stage.”

Dees refers to the event as organic. This

“The former Manager just asked me if I wanted to take over. I said yes. It was very natural.”

Two of the groups that were in the parade on Thursday, July 23 played on the open stage afterward.

“Panache is a great classical jazz group.

I like as much variety as possible.

“It’s an easy job between the Ag Society and me. And we have excellent sound people.”

Dees is a musician/singer himself and is currently writing his own songs.
