Curtis Anderson’s field north of Minburn bustled with life last Saturday morning, as riders and wagons arrived in droves in support of the 12th Courage Canada Trail Ride on May 28. Fifty-four riders and 28 wagon riders and 6 wagons in total participated in the 2016 Courage Canada Brain Injury Awareness Trail Ride. Courage Canada Founder, Curtis Anderson greeted participants as they registered at the entrance to the field. Participants travelled from far and near including St. Paul, Mayerthorpe, Lloydminster, Calgary, Mannville, Vermilion, Heinsburg and Vegreville. To date the ride has raised over $147,435, and it continues to gain momentum and creates awareness every year. “I feel it went really well. There was a little bit of rain on the way back but it wasn’t a down pour, it was more like a sprinkle,” said Curtis Anderson. “The highlight of this year’s trail ride was the brain injury survivors represented from the four brain injury centers that the Courage Canada Trail Ride supports. This was the main reason the ride was started; to put brain injury on the map and for survivors to come out on the trail ride,” added Curtis. One brain injury survivor who attended the trail ride on Saturday was Mitchell Joyce from Vegreville. On July 1 last year, Mitchell suffered a serious accident when he fell backwards long boarding down a hill. “We just heard about Curtis a few months ago. I was in hospital for 10 months after my accident, it

was a long rehab. Some of the recovery was less fun, but some of it was pretty good. It has taken me a day at a time to get better and it’s still going to take me a day at a time to get better,” said Mitchell. “I look forward to talking to Curtis more.” Donations and proceeds from the Trail Ride support the following organizations; Halvar Jonson Centre for Brain Injury, Lloydminster and Area Brain Injury Society, FOCUS Vermillion, VALID Association Vegreville and Canadian Pro Rodeo Sports Medicine. The Trail Ride is held on the last Saturday in May every year and Anderson says that he is always look-

ing for more riders, more wagons and more sponsors. The supper held at the Innisfree Rec. Center was attended by 300 people the evening after the trail ride. People enjoyed the entertainment including cowboy poetry, fiddling, and the silent and live auction. Music was provided by Steve Newsome. Artist Louis Lavoie painted live at the supper, and afterwards, the painting was sold for auction.

SHAPE Wraps Up First Year With Showcase Of Movement
Marie Conboy Reporter
What a year it has been for SHAPE Art and Wellness Studio. The dance studio, which opened less than a year ago, has grown in leaps and bounds, producing many new young dancers. “There has been a lot of growth,” said SHAPE Owner and Dance Instructor/ Choreographer Leigha Wald. After working as a Dance Instructor for 18 years, this was the first time running her own business. Wald says that the experience has been different, challenging and something new. “The other side of running your own business is that you do not just show up, teach and leave, the work follows you home. It has been challenging juggling everything with three children under the age of 4 years old,” said Leigha. “But when I come into work, I’m doing what I love. I’m glad we did it!” added Wald. Leigha runs the business alongside her husband Robin Nordling, who works as a massage therapist out of the new art and wellness studio in the Lakeland Mall. Wa l d c h o r e o g r a p h s 75% of t h e dances herself and says she is already
getting new choreography ideas for next season. “It’s great to see how far all our dancers have come in the last 8 months. It has been an exciting time for me, meeting so many new students,” said Leigha. Graduating dance student, Delaney McMinis, will be going on to University, but says she plans to continue dancing in the city next year. “It’s been a good year. I think I’ve gained a lot more strength and that I have grown in how much I can take in. Leigha is so passionate about teaching, it makes you enjoy learning,” said Delaney. Brittni Tessier, who also started dancing with SHAPE Studio this year, said that she really enjoyed the last year a lot. “We are more like a family here. We do train pretty hard but we still enjoy ourselves,” said Brittni. Wald added that despite the fact the studio has only been open for 8 months; the groups have all bonded well with the senior dancers helping out the younger dancers. Two shows highlighting the 2015/2016 SHAPE dancers, vocalists and artists will take place at the Lakeland College,
SHAPE dancers rehearse for their piece called “Hands Up” at the SHAPE Art and Wellness Studio in the Lakeland Mall on May 25. The dancers at Sizzle received High gold for their performance and at Wanna Dance? they received a Diamond and 1st place award.

High School Graduation - A Turning Point
Lorna Hamilton Editor
Every year a new group of teenagers graduate from high school and begin a new chapter in their lives. For some teens, the moment they start junior high they are just waiting for the day they graduate senior high and branch off into the big bad world, they crave the independence of becoming an adult, making their own life choices whether they are good or bad. While for some teenagers the thought of becoming an adult is scary and are just not ready to become the independent adult we wish them to be. Is this because of their
home environment? In a way, I think it is. When I grew up, I had no choice but to grow up fast and mature, but nowadays we often keep our children close due to fears we have for them and not let them develop as quickly as we did. So many graduates believe they have matured to the point of being able to handle all that life will throw at them regardless of the magnitude of the issues, and then quickly discover they have not. This is not a bad thing it is just another step in their adventure in life. Graduating high school is a turning point in every teenager’s life; however it is just the beginning, and it is a time full of excitement and some sadness. Excitement for the actual day, dressing up in beautiful gowns for the young ladies
and suits for the young men. They are bursting at the seams with the anticipation of the beginning the new chapter in their lives. Sadness because people who they have become friends with and saw every day will now be moving on in the directions of their hopes and dreams. This is your time and your turning point in life; it is easy nowadays to stay in touch with lifelong friends. A few things I have learned since my graduation from high school 27 years ago that may be helpful throughout your journey is to: First, never say “I can’t.” Can’t is a word that needs to be removed from your language, anyone can succeed if they put their mind to it. Secondly, life is a never-ending learning
5
experience, never stop learning!! Thirdly, be smart about your finances; live within your means and try to save for your future and the rainy days because they will happen. Fourthly, keep pursuing your hopes and dreams. It’s never too late to become what you want to be! And finally, never be afraid to ask for help if needed. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, it is what keeps you moving forward. Life is full of ups and downs; it never runs smoothly. Explore all your possibilities, you may be surprised! I never thought I would end up in the world of journalism, but here I am, and I love it. You’re never too old to change your direction in life! We wish all the graduates from this year the best in all your future endeavours in life.

Well, as I predicted we did see the rain and even some snow here in Alberta on the May Long weekend. In some areas of Alberta there were 6 inches of snow, and my rain gauge showed nearly 2 inches of rain while other areas of Alberta said they got more rain. Ironically, Fort McMurray area saw little of the rain, and sporadic, at best, in small areas. At least all the prayers were heard, and they did receive some moisture. The forecast for this week is good rain in the hot spots. The heavy rain put a dampener on most things I wanted to get done this past weekend. I don’t know who it was that stated I should get the garden in by May Long, and I’m sure they didn’t live in Alberta. Friday evening was when I planned to start tilling the garden; of course, it was pretty much a swimming hole or a good place for a mud bath. My list of things to get done got crossed off one by one. Now we appreciated the moisture, those with crops and gardens in; it was golden, however for those who are so far behind this spring like myself, I’m so far behind I think I had to start over. A few extra projects and unforeseen activities prevented me from getting my garden in at least a week before the May Long weekend, and it was the perfect year for it as well with the beautiful spring we have. The first day of summer, a long way away yet on June 20 this year, seems like it’s come and gone already with the summer-

While I was putting the finishing touches on the restoration of my “Old Red” ½ ton, I was also putting my affairs in order to sell my travelling business and retiring!! It seemed after all the years of working it was time to do something I’d always wanted and go on a long drive with no time limit and no strings whatsoever. The old ½ ton was like a revived dream, and I meant to go the limit and fulfill my yearning. When I voiced my intentions, friends and family thought my gears had stripped and I was a candidate for the funny farm. My take was, if I left the country in that old reject from the junk yard, I’d likely never return, no use to argue!! Well, I did say my goodbyes and I guess they all must have said meaningful prayers because the next thing I knew I was on the road headed South. Spring was breaking up here and the snow was about gone, just a few sheltered areas left.
Around the Campfire
like conditions we have enjoyed all spring. Also, a horrific nightmare for others involved in the wildfires. So, trying to be appreciative for the moisture, I wanted to find something to do on May Long weekend. Besides the rain making it impossible to cut the grass, as it needed to be cut again, both riding lawn mowers I own were down. My favourite mower, as I cut the large outdoor archery range, the week before May Long weekend, suddenly got only half as noisy as it should; looking over my shoulder, I could see one mower blade lying on the ground behind me. Of course, I began fixing it as soon as possible. Although if it weren’t for the rain over May Long, it most likely would not have gotten done until the grass was knee high, due to the rain, it was a perfect time. The main bolt that secures one of the blades sheared off. Of course, with no way of getting a grip on it, I acquired a bolt extraction kit, and I was set. However I removed the deck from mower a couple of days ago, and now it was beside the shop, too far to carry or lift in the pouring rain. Well, I strategized. I removed the main shaft with the broken bolt and worked in comfort in the shop. There were three bolts that held on the main shaft, no big deal this will take seconds. “Snap!” Aww geez, that bolt also snapped, now I have no choice but to remove the main shaft. I barely put pressure on the second bolt and “snap!” it broke also. After a little walk and a few choice words to calm done, I thought, “well at least one bolt will…” ”Snap!”. Well as I stood in the pouring rain, soaking wet ready to “snap“ myself, I looked over to my camping trailer, grabbed all my fishing
gear and started to work on it. I swore, the first slight break in the rain I threatened to go fishing. However now dark, I had to wait until Saturday; I soaked the main mower shaft in penetrating oil and didn’t want to see it again all weekend. Of course, it was pouring again on Saturday morning, looking at my fishing gear, I grabbed an empty ice cream pail, a shovel and headed to the garden. Big fishing earthworms were the objective. Thinking back, standing knee deep in mud and rain with a dig crazy dog probably wasn’t the sanest thing to do. On a high note, there were lots of worms doing the backstroke in the big mud pool. The worst issue was as soon I dug a hole and grabbed a couple of worms, my assistant crowded her way into the hole and mud was flinging everywhere. I was forced to move and dig another hole, and no sooner that it was dug, my assistant took over. Now I am not sure if she thought we were burying the lawn mowers, but she was digging her heart out. After an hour, we stood in the garden with big smiles dripping in mud but with a full bucket of worms. The wife came out of the house took one look at us shook her head turned around and went back inside. I think that was our clue we were not getting inside the house until we were hosed off, and that’s exactly what we did. I took the garden hose and sprayed us both relatively clean; Miss Oohohh seemed to enjoy the whole adventure as I swear she was smiling the whole time. Later that afternoon as the pup and I dried off in the shop working on archery gear; I noticed the rain quit for a second, I threw all the fishing gear into the truck and went to put on dry clean clothes. I told my

The ice was still covering all the sloughs and water runoff was light that spring. I stopped in Weyburn, SK, for the first night so I could make the border early the next morning. I had no idea of the ordeal in store, but good thing I had an early start. They took about four hours to decide if they should allow me to enter. They thought my old truck suspicious and through I was going to work and use my truck and not be properly licensed and pay income tax, or some weird idea like that. By the time they let me proceed it was middle afternoon and I stopped at a little café and coffee shop. I was so badly shaken from the experience, I needed both hands to steady my coffee!! Thank goodness for those friendly souls who listened to my story and let me vent my fears. Never forget them. I stopped at so many places like that as I decided to keep to small towns and secondary hiways so I could see the country at a more leisurely pace and talk to the folks as I travelled. I had fun and met some really wonderful people. I even had a swim in a water trough by a windmill
that was pumping close by the road. That was the only water there was for miles!! As I was heading always south, I began to notice that it was getting from warm to hot and by the time I had crossed Nor th Dakota, I noticed the “June” berries were blooming. That’s what they call Saskatoon’s down there, because I don’t think the Americans are equipped to say “Saskatoon’s”. Ever hear a Texan say Saskatoon, Saskatchewan? They wouldn’t like to hear you laugh!! Garden City in Southern Kansas arrived on Saturday noon!! All services were closed and I couldn’t get propane fuel anywhere it seemed, so was stalled for the weekend. Sunday morning I went to the motel office to get a room for another night and a guy there heard me say I needed fuel and says, “I have a propane bulk station two blocks from here, come on over, if you don’t show, I’ll come looking.” Yeah, that’s the way folks were down there. I drove all day with the fuel he supplied me with. Seemed like the wind carried me along and It was like a miracle. I had some more wonderful experiences as I

wife, Roxanne to drop everything and get dressed, we were going fishing. Which to my surprise, she didn’t argue or comment and got warmly dressed. We threw Miss Oohohh in the truck and headed out. It wasn’t nice out by any means, but I think I saw the sun peek through for the briefest of moments. Soon we were at the fishing hole, and hungry trout rose out of the water feeding everywhere. That was better than nice weather. Soon we were landing big trout on shore, and of course, Roxanne caught the first one, and my silly pup wouldn’t even eat it when I showed it to her, so it added to Roxanne’s fish count. Now, the cooler weather must have affected our thinking as Roxanne’s fish count was always more than mine. Miss Oohohh surprised me by silently sitting beside me happy just to watch the adventure. As darkness moved in we had a couple of nice plump trout on shore and on the menu. On Monday, a slight breeze with no rain even allowed me to till the first swath on the entire garden. To boot, we wrapped the marinated trout smothered in onions, sauce, and butter in tinfoil and placed in the BBQ, along with sled potatoes, carrots, and corn. Even the aroma was mouth-watering.

travelled through Texas and had to seek shelter from a storm one night that like to have blown the town away. Because of the heat the thunder storms are really menacing, to me at least. I spent almost a month at my friends in San Antonio, and he really wanted me to stay longer, but the heat and high humidity was getting to me and the air conditioning cool and heat outside were hard on this Alberta raised cowboy. Anyway, I tuned up “Old Red” bought tires and generally put the old truck in like mint condition, and headed North. I came home up through Oklahoma Colorado Wyoming, and Montana, and made the trip in three days. This time I travelled the Interstate hi-ways and had no trouble finding propane on this trip. I got home in the first week in June and where in Texas it was very hot, up here it was cold and very rainy that year. It’s an adventure I’ll never forget and the picture you see in last week’s issue was taken in “Helotes Texas,” and I have memories of seeing “Corpus Christie” on the Gulf of Mexico from its windows.

The Vermilion Vipers Swim Club hosted a swim meet on May 28 at the Lakeland College pool. Over 200 swimmers registered from Edmonton, Camrose, Fort Saskatchewan, Sherwood Park, Wainwright, Killam, and Vermilion. Vipers swimmers range in age from 6 years-old to adult. This is the first year the Club has had Master Swimmers available with four 18+ swimmers in the Club. The season runs from May to August and swimmers practice Monday through Thursday and travel to compete in other meets. Viper registration fees cover the home meet and two other meets of the competitors choosing. Competitors can choose to travel more for additional fees. Registration for the 2016 season of The Vermilion Vipers Swim Club ends on June 1. “Swimmers’ technique has improved significantly from the beginning of May,” said Media Executive, Kyla Smith.

Whether children start swimming competitively at a young age, or when they are older, they are able to quickly develop their skills, with lots of encouragement from their team and such a large support network. The Vermilion Vipers are thrilled to have received their new starting blocks this year. They have been saving for them since 2013 as the old ones were too small. The new starting blocks are safer, as they don’t let the swimmer’s feet slip out, and are larger with steps for the smaller children to climb up.

Rhyme And Read Learn First Aid
Chandra Blair Class
The Rhyme and Read adults learned some First Aid methods on May 17 at the Vermilion Public Library. Many moms that come to our program are English Language Learners. They started by learning Medical Emergency vocabulary and How to call 911. Many Newcomers coming into Canada do not know about 911, or how to communicate an emergency to an operator. This is an essential
skill and therefore, CLASS, led by Chandra Blair organized this short 2 hour class to help her Rhyme and Read attendants. Because this was just a taste for the moms to see the importance of First Aid, they only learned some basic skills in first aid, such as how to help a chocking child and an adult and bandaging a wound. Chocking is a major concern for all parents, and with the Red Cross instructor, Del Bieleny, the Rhyme and Read Moms were able to see, learn and
practice this critical First Aid method. Ten mothers attended while their 9 children were under the care of Lindsay Carton and Stephanie Brokop. Rhyme and Read classes will continue until June 21 for parents, grandparents or childcare givers who want to encourage
English Language development in themselves and their children. Our funding for this Newcomer Talks and Tours class was granted by the Alberta Community Initiative Program and Vermilion FCSS. Thank you for providing this class that may save a life.

Above All, Be Kind
Margaret Lonsdale Columnist
In a small black frame on my desk, I keep a photograph of a slab of black granite with the word ‘Kindness’ artfully etched into it. The image sits at an angle so when I glance up it’s the first thing I see. Kindness is a thing I want to include in my life. Of course, like anyone, I’m a work in progress. I aspire to embrace this most elemental of concepts, but you and I know it doesn’t come easily. Imperfection: part of being human. For all the goodwill we aspire to achieve, constant challenges test our humanity. Our fear of the unknown can make us wary and judgmental. We’re prone to opine on people, subjects, and events, often while knowing little or nothing about them. Social media provides a platform for the mouthiest and most ignorant of us to post for public consumption a livestream of the foulest of our thoughts without censor, without concern for truth, taste, or consequence. What was that you posted on your Facebook page last week about what you’d
like to do to the Premier, the Prime Minister, or some other person you’ve never met? Vitriol is rewarded, too. With ‘likes’ and follow-ups from those lurking in the soup of scurrilous minds. Where does it start and why is it so cool to be a sneering, insult-spewing jerk? I don’t know. Maybe it’s a distraction from the daunting perils we encounter sometimes in real life, intended to provide a twisted kind comedic relief. If we can target someone else and get something stirred up and then attract support for our ill-informed opinions, maybe we retain some of the power we imagine slipping from our grip. Maybe it makes us feel better if someone else is to blame for things we feel beyond our control. Or maybe it’s simpler than that: we’re just nasty, mean-spirited people who prefer our entertainment plucked from the gutter. He or she who hurls the spew best wins. OorRah! Bully power, shout it out. It’s in our families, our schools, and our politics. The voices of reason and civility are drowned out by the cacophony of the barking mob. Did anyone ever tell you not to cry
when you were a child? Or to stop acting like a baby? To act your age? Emotion, the stuff that naturally emerges from us in response to our experience, begins to be suppressed before we’ve even had a chance to understand it. ‘Oh, did I hurt your ‘feelings’?’ someone (even the ones who love us) might ask sarcastically. To ourselves in small voice, we may answer with a resounding ‘Yes!’, but very early we begin to understand intuitively that to express emotion----especially the soft and tender kind----is weakness. We learn that only babies emote. We learn to get tough. Tough people win and that’s what we all want: to be winners. Stand up for yourself. Throw the first punch. Be a winner. But to be human is to be sentient. Feeling and expressing and reacting emotionally is as natural as breath. ‘You’re too soft!’ ought never to be considered an insult. ‘Being soft’ ought to instead be admired, even revered. It’s what makes us capable of empathy. It’s what makes us thoughtful, reflective, and considerate. Human. We can still be tough and courageous and achieve heroic feats without losing touch with our tender
RockSolid Hosts Triathlon
Sandra Kathnelson Submitted
The Vermilion Triathlon Club is excited to be hosting the fourth annual RockSolid Vermilion Triathlon on Sunday, June 19, at Lakeland College. Local triathletes will be joined by athletes from across the region. The event features Kids of Steel categories for competitors from 4-15 years of age, as well as Sprint distances for adults of different age categories, and Try-a-Tri distances for those new to the sport. The sport of triathlon is comprised of three phases; athletes first swim, then complete a course on bicycle, and finally run the last phase of the course to the finish line. The clock starts when the athlete enters the pool, and continues while he/she transitions from each phase
to the next. Athletes may compete as individuals, completing all three phases, or form a relay team, with each person completing one stage. The RockSolid Vermilion Triathlon is sanctioned by the Alberta Triathlon Association, and is part of the ATA Kids of Steel points series, in points are accumulated based on participation (for younger children), and results (for the older youth). This year, for the second time, the event will also serve as the Zone 7 qualifier for the Alberta Summer Games, to be held in Leduc July 14-17. One major change from years past is that the event will no longer be run by an out-of-province race organizer. This year’s race committee is made up of members of the local Vermilion Triathlon Club, who have gained valuable experience helping
to run the triathlon in its first three years. The hope in keeping the organization local is to bring more of a hometown feel to it, and to create a fun, yet challenging course, set in a rural environment. The Lakeland College Recreation Centre will be the focal point of the action – competition gets underway bright and early the morning of Sunday June 19, with adult swim heats beginning at 8:00. Spectators are more than welcome; there is ample opportunity to view the swim from outside the pool in the viewing area, and to cheer on the athletes on the bike course (beginning at the Rec Centre and continuing out along the old highway and back) and the run (through the Emergency Training Centre). Also interesting and exciting to watch is the transition area, where athletes switch from swim to
sides, without abandoning concepts like kindness, without denying that we feel. To lose touch with the tender aspects of our humanity is, well, to lose ourselves. And who among us aspires to be lost? Sundown. It’s been almost five years since I started spilling words and ideas here within the pages of The Voice. It started with a suggestion by my friend, Dawn Hames. Publisher, Sue Chikie and then editor Catherine Lee welcomed me and I am grateful for having had the opportunity. Now, though, it seems time to step away and leave space for new voices to engage with you, faithful Voice readers. Someone smart must once have said ‘It’s wise to know when it’s time to go’ and it feels like it’s go time for me. And so I fade, quietly. My humble thanks for reading, and for your responses to these rants and writings. Stay in touch, if you wish: marlo9@ mail.com or http://mmlonsdale.wordpress.com/. Until we meet again down the road a piece, I bid you all good journeys and hope to be remembered well. Amidst all those things flowing through your mind, I hope along the way you too might sometimes aspire to be kind.
bike, and then from bike to run, as quickly as possible. The transition area will be in the Rec Centre parking lot. Anyone wishing to participate in the triathlon, or interested in learning more about it, can find registration links and other details on the event website: http:// trivermilion.wix.com/trivermilion. Deadline for registration is Thursday, June 16, 2016. All registrations received prior to Friday, May 19, 2016 will be guaranteed a race t-shirt. Organizers are still actively seeking volunteers – running an event of this scale requires many people. It’s a great way to view and be a part of the action, and support the athletes as they ‘tri’ their hardest! If you would like to volunteer, or have any questions, please contact race organizers at trivermilion@ gmail.com.
Happy Trails – ATV Safety Tips
AHS Submitted
As snow-blowers and shovels are tucked away for another season, Albertans are venturing outdoors to enjoy the spring weather. Alberta Health Services (AHS) is reminding all Albertans, and particularly parents of children less than 16 years of age, to make ATV safety a priority. There are significant risks associated with the use of ATVs. Children less than 16 years of age have not yet developed to
the point of having the strength, skills or judgment needed to operate an ATV, and this includes ATVs marketed as ‘childsized’. Parents of children less than 16 years of age are advised to ensure these children do not drive or ride in an ATV. Albertans 16 years of age and older are urged to take the following precautions to ensure their ATV excursions are as safe as possible: • Look First Be sure you’re aware of the weather

forecast, fire outlook/potential, and any hazards (geographical, animal or human) that the trail(s) you’re on could pose. • Wear the Gear A helmet can save your life: from 2002 – 2013, 41 per cent of ATV-rider deaths in Alberta were due to head injuries. In 77 per cent of these head injury deaths, the ATV riders were not wearing a helmet. In addition to a helmet, always wear a jacket, long pants, goggles, boots and gloves. • Get Trained Before you hit the trails, get formal hands-on training from a recognized/ trained ATV instructor. Don’t be shy about refreshing your training seasonally. • Buckle Up Be sure that you’re fastened in properly, and that all gear and equipment (including your ATV restraints) are in proper working
condition before you hit the trails. • Drive Sober Don’t drink or do drugs before or while operating an ATV. Fifty-five per cent of those who died in ATV crashes between 2002 and 2013 tested positive for alcohol. In addition to the above, before you head out on the trail, let others know where you’re going and when they should expect you back. This helps your loved ones know when to call for help if you’ve been gone too long. Take a cell phone or working radio with you, as well as a first aid kit. Never hesitate to call for help if you’re stuck, have damaged your ATV, or are injured.

Spring and summer is salad season. I love salads and how healthy most of them are, but the problem is when I read the ingredients list on the back of the salad dressing bottle, I no longer want to buy that product. Most of them use junk oils and are chocked full of chemical preservatives, thickeners and flavour enhancers. So while the salad is healthy, the dressing is often questionable. I am a big fan of homemade salad dressings. If you eat a lot of salads, the trick is to make enough homemade dressing to last for several days, but don’t make a lot more than you will eat in a week or so. Use fresh sour cream for a

longer storage time. You can also substitute the sour cream for Greek yogurt, with active pre-biotic cultures, or do a mix of a half a cup of Greek yogurt and a half a cup of sour cream. This recipe is thick like a dip, and for a more pourable dressing, it can be thinned with an additional 1/4 cup of milk or buttermilk if you are using it right away. The dressing thins as it sits in the refrigerator, so if you are storing it for use later make sure it is thicker than you want it to be when you will use it later. Some people prefer fat free everything, but the purpose of the fat in this dressing is to allow the nutrients in the salad to be more bio-available, so feel free to use the sour cream or Greek yogurt with fat instead of the fat free version. You can also use a combination of a 1/2 a cup of mayonnaise and a 1/2 a cup of Greek yogurt.

Ranch dressing has an interesting history. The recipe was developed by Steve Henson, an Alaskan plumber in the 1950’s, who later bought a dude ranch in California. His ranch was called Hidden Valley Ranch, and he served his guests his ranch dressing. It became so popular that he began manufacturing small batches under his brand Hidden Valley Ranch. He later expanded his company as demand grew. In 1972 he sold his company to Clorex for eight million dollars. The brand can still be purchased in supermarkets, although the recipe has evolved many times over, from one that required refrigeration, to the current version with a longer shelf life. The original version used mayonnaise instead of the sour cream, olive oil and lemon. Ranch Dressing is one of the most popular salad dressings in

J. R. Robson School hosted the ‘Northern Junior High Track and Field’ on May 24. The schools that were being represented were, J.R. Robson, St. Jerome’s, Dewberry, Marwayne, Innisfree, Mannville, Kitscoty, and Paradise Valley. Athletes that finished in the top four in each event will move on to compete in the Buffalo Trail Public Schools Track and Field Championship on June 1. “The day went very well. The athletes
showed great competitiveness and sportsmanship. That is what track and field is all about. Students can compete individually and still feel part of a larger team as all schools bring several athletes to compete and cheer on their team members. The weather was very cooperative and this allowed for the athletes to compete at their best,” said Teacher and volunteer, Lindsey Bates. Onlooker, Mabel Smart said, “It was an excellent sports day for the kids,” and made her reminisce, “Oh, to be that young again.”

Light Horse 4-H Awards Riders
The young riders of the Vermilion Light Horse 4-H Club were awarded at the Club’s Achievement Day at the Equine Center at Lakeland College on May 23. Fifteen year-old Morgan Elliott was presented with the Most Improved Rider award, which seemed most fitting for the young rider. After spending the last year recovering from a serious horse riding accident that left Morgan knocked out for 30 minutes with a concussion, Morgan says it took a year
to restore her confidence in herself and her horse. “I lost quite a bit of confidence, it took me 4 months to even get back on again,” said Morgan. The accident occurred when her horse Diva spooked and bucked her off on a high jump. “I had a lot of support from my 4-H club and my family, they really helped me recover,” explained Morgan. “The horse I am riding now is the one I fell off last year. It took a lot of ground work but we both really trust each other now.”
Achievement Day started with the horse show in the morning, and followed with classes in showmanship, English Pleasure, English Equitation, Western Pleasure and Western Equitation. The 16 members were divided into 3 age categories and judged by Sonja Wilkinson. In the afternoon members participated in Gymkhana events, which included barrel racing, pole bending, keyhole race and stakes race. Josslyn Smith was presented with the Most Dedicated Member Award as a first year member, who held an exec-
11
utive position and attended the most club and district activities. The 4-H Award of Excellence silver was presented to Breanne Hryhirchuk and Andrea Zielinski. Awards of Excellence were achieved by completing and collecting points in 4-H diaries; a place for members to record and celebrate their involvement and participation in 4-H and the community. This summer the club looks forward to the 4H Regional Horse Camp being held in Vermilion at the Agricultural Grounds from August 17-20.

Giving Back To Our Heroes
Angela Mouly Reporter
Founded in 1925, The Royal Canadian Legion is a non-profit organization that supports veterans and their families. The Vermilion Legion was one of the first legions established and remains a leader in veteran affairs, striving to help local veterans and their families in all ways possible. S t eve S ay n a c o n t a c t e d L e g i o n President, Garry Zayac in February wondering what could be done about his father’s bathtub in order to keep 92 year old WWII Veteran, Mike Sayna living independently in his home. The Legion helped the family apply for a walk-in tub, through Veteran Affairs, but while waiting for approval the Vermilion Legion Branch offered to get things in motion. The Vermilion Legion Branch Poppy Chairman, Marcel Lefebvre applied to Provincial Command for approval to use the Legions’ Poppy Fund to finance the project. The Poppy Fund raises funds through poppy and wreath sales in order to support veterans and their families.

Lefebvre and Zayac also volunteered, completing renovations to the tub surround and finishing work. “It is very fulfilling helping our veterans,” said Lefebvre. Veteran, Mike Sayna said, “I used to have a contraption set up with my old tub that caused it to be a 2-man job, requiring the help of my son. Now I am able to walk in and out of the tub by myself, and often sit and enjoy it for a half hour or better.” Sayna’s wife, Mar y said, “ It is a wonderful, wonderful thing having the new tub. I was thrilled to have it installed so quickly; it is easier to clean with my back problem, and our son and daughter-in-law are freer from organizing time to help.” The Sayna’s are very grateful to the Vermilion Royal Canadian Legion and all of the volunteers for donating the walk-in bathtub and their time.

On Thursday, May 26, the Graduates donned their cap and gowns to have group pictures taken with the administration of St. Jerome’s. At 1:45 staff, students, and parents gathered in the school gymnasium for the in-school ceremony. As each grad was introduced they walked onto the stage. The entire student body said the “Prayer of St. Francis” and sang the School song with great gusto. Michael Menzies and Dane Martin shared “Remember When’s” about their classmates. Principal Allan Chase shared a short message for the graduates and then Mr. Whelan introduced the “Class of 2016” followed by the tossing of their caps. The students were given mementos from the Grade 10 Leadership class and elementary students as they filed off the stage. The ceremony concluded with the Grad Class Video created by Noah Sanson. Friday the students spent much of the day rehearsing the different parts of grad. The Graduation Day started with Mass

It was a beautiful service ending with the traditional Candle Ceremony when the graduates pass their light, representing their spirit, on to a fellow St. Jerome student to carry on the traditions and spirit created by this class. After a delicious meal catered by Colleen Hozack at the elegantly decorated Vermilion Regional Centre the Formal Ceremony began. The MC for the evening was Mr. Sean Whelan, who kept the ceremony running smoothly. Mrs. Peggie Roth and Mr. David Sader introduced the graduates as they came up on stage. Sadie Granigan led “O Canada’ followed by the school prayer. Sabrina Riley thanked the staff of St. Jerome’s for their dedication and support throughout the years and Mrs. Fraser responded.

Lakeland Parts Apprentice Wins 2015 Top Apprentice Award
Lakeland College Submitted
Lakeland College apprentice, Mason Mehl, is among the best of the best Alberta apprentices. Mehl was recognized as the province’s top parts technician apprentice and was one of only 58 apprentices to receive a 2015 Top Apprentice Award. This marks the eighth time a Lakeland parts technician apprentice has won this provincial award. “This is a well-deserved accomplishment for Mason, and we are quite proud of him,” says Randy Hobbis, Lakeland College instructor. “Mason would be in class studying an hour before class started. He’s a personable, skilled and top-notch journeyman.”
Presented by the Government of Alberta’s Ministry of Advanced Education, Mehl was honoured at the annual Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Board Awards on April 15. “It was lots of fun and really nice to see that when people put in an honest effort, they can achieve their goals and be recognized,” says Mehl, of Oyen, Alta. To achieve his goal of becoming a parts technician, Mehl enrolled in Lakeland’s apprenticeship program. He completed three periods of technical training at the Vermilion campus as well as the required 4,500 hours of on-thejob training. Excelling in his studies at Lakeland, Mason was one of the recipients of the Trades Staff Award, which is
awarded to the top graduating apprentice student in each program based on leadership, enthusiasm, and academic ability. “It was pretty incredible at Lakeland to see that the instructors weren’t only willing to help you succeed but, on top of that, they were willing to help you excel. They wanted to see everyone reach their full potential not only at college but in life,” says Mehl. “You could tell they all genuinely cared about the students. I’d like to thank the instructors at Lakeland because without them we wouldn’t be able to learn and achieve our goals.” Alber ta’s annual Top Apprentice Award honours apprentices in each trade who achieved the highest overall marks in their final period of training and

received strong employer recommendations. Mehl credits Rocky Mountain Equipment – his employer of 10 years – for supporting him throughout his apprenticeship and on the job today. “They’re a great business because they want everyone to get the education and training they need to do their work well,” says Mehl. “I am very fortunate to be able to be employed with them and have their support. Rocky Mountain Equipment has 39 stores so if you can’t find the answer at your own branch, we’re all linked together, and someone at a different branch will have an answer.” Though Mehl is now a journeyman, he says he’s still learning something new every day on the job.

A boss or someone in power, especially a female, might advise you about shared property, inheritances or insurance issues. This advice might be good for you to hear. (Especially because a conflict with a friend or partner is possible.)
This is a good day to make future travel plans or explore opportunities in publishing, the media, the law, medicine and higher education. Get serious about these plans because you can make strides in these areas and tie down loose ends. Do what you can.
Today you will see the wisdom of how to use the resources of others to accomplish what you want to get done at work. (Or with any task you undertake.) If someone older or more experienced can help you -- then, let them! You don't have to re-invent the wheel.

A discussion with a partner or old friend about vacations, the arts, the entertainment world, or the hospitality industry might take place today. Hotel plans? Or perhaps the subject of discussion will be the care of children? Whatever it is you're ready for it; and you've got ideas!
You want to get things done today. You want to be efficient and productive. Make a list. Jump on it! An older family member might be in the picture. Either way, you are concerned about securing something at home or within the family. Just begin and keep going.
Fun activities, parties, vacations, sport events and playful times with children all need planning. They don't just materialize out of thin air. This is what you can do today. Make plans for a fun event. Make of preparations for the arts or socializing with others.
If you can hide or cocoon at home today, do so. You need a breather. You also need to do some careful planning about family or where you live; and you especially need to know your financial restrictions. What kind of funds can you play with?
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Your mind is orderly today, which is why you are concerned with practicalities. "Just the facts, Ma'am." Tackle work you might usually avoid. Do routine stuff to get it out of the way because you will do it willingly and you will not overlook details.
You are serious about money, earnings, and cash flow today. You will be just as serious about spending it as well, which is why you will only buy long-lasting, practical items if shopping. A penny saved is a penny earned. Oh yeah.
Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with stern Saturn. This makes it easy for you to willingly accept your duties and responsibilities. It puts you in a sensible frame of mind. Please note: You actually have a slight advantage over others, so ask for what you want!
You can make great headway today doing behind-the-scenes research because you are in a serious frame of mind. Keep your head down and your powder dry. Just plug along and do what is necessary today because a parent or boss will help you. You will also impress them!
Today someone older or more experienced might have some good advice for you; but you won't really know unless you actually listen. Do not be quick to judge, especially by appearances etc. or your own prejudices will deceive you. Just listen.

A Rodeo Showdown Not To Be Missed!
Deep in a grassy hillside valley, where the Old Vermilion River and the North Saskatchewan River meet, is a rodeo grounds that is steeped in the history and tradition of Canadian rodeo dating back to the late 1920’s. This year the Lea Park Rodeo will be running June 10, 11 and 12, entering into its 62nd year. The rodeo’s long history is one that has become a family tradition passed down through the generations. Some say that it is this feeling of family tradition that takes over the park every year. Cowboys, rodeo fans and familiar
faces make the trip to Lea Park every year. “We are expecting 10,000 people to pass through the gates over the weekend,” said Greg Tobler, the Lea Park Rodeo Coordinator. “ T h e p r ize m o n ey h a s d r o p p e d down this year from $8,000 to $5,000 in each event because of the way the economy is,” said Tobler. “Sponsorship has been better than we anticipated but you have to be prepared for the worst.” The top names in bull riding, bronco-busting, tie down roping, bareback riding, steer wrestling, ladies barrel racing and team roping will
travel to Lea Park on June 10, lured to compete for the dash and the cash at the 5th biggest Pro Rodeo in Canada. The Street Dance will take place on Centre Street on June 8. Since 2010, the CPRA has recognized Lea Park Rodeo at the Canadian Finals Rodeo Awards ceremony in the following categories; voted the Most Improved Grounds in 2013, grounds of the year in CPRA and runner up for Medium Committee of the year in 2011. Medium Rodeo Committee of the Year and Medium Rodeo Ground of the Year in 2010. The beer gardens will open on the Friday night with a dance in the Lea
Park grounds. There will be a pancake breakfast at the Marwayne Arena from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. On Saturday night there will be a bus shuttle available to and from the grounds at Lea Park and to the Rodeo Dance in the Marwayne Arena. Buses will be leaving Walmart in Lloydminster at 8:30 p.m. at the cost of $20 (round trip). To book the bus phone 780 853 7042. Entertainment will be by DJ Robin Garnier and doors open at 9:00 p.m. $15 at the door aged 18+ (no minors). A Cowboy Church Service will take place on Sunday morning at 10:0 0 a.m. at the Lea Park Rodeo Grounds on June 12.

On May 25, the Vermilion Reds Peewee Team hosted the Marwayne Peewee Team 2, and were able to play through 5 innings. Vermilion Scorekeeper, O. J. Sawkew said to players, “Did you have fun, that’s what matters.” “It was a really good ball game, probably the teams’ best one of the season yet. Sportsmanship and teamwork were there, causing us to be up six runs at the end of the game,” said Vermilion Head Coach, Mel Dary. The Vermilion Reds Peewee Baseball Team will be hosting a Owen Cleland pitched for the Vermilion Reds Peewee Baseball Team on May 25. Photo Angela Mouly tournament on June 5.
