Kids’ Activities
Excellent Steers Round The Ring
Angela Mouly Reporter
Members of the Vermilion and Clandonald 4-H Clubs gathered at the Vermilion Fairgrounds on May 30 for the Interclub Steer Show and Sale. Miles Wowk from Beauvallen was invited to be the Master of Ceremonies and to Auctioneer the event, while Jessie and Dwayne Emery from Barrhead were invited to Judge the event. Members from both clubs entered the ring in groups of 3 and 5, with Clandonald winning with a more uniform group of 3 steers, and Vermilion winning the group of 5. Members then showed their steers in 4 weight classes. Logan Garnier and Rylan Lehmann had the top 2 steers in the 1st weight class, and Cavin Jones and Grace Leland had the top 2 steers in the 2nd weight class. Emma Cleland and Wyatt Jacula had the top 2 steers in the 3rd weight class, and Ashley Jones and Justin Chase had the top 2 steers in the 4th weight class. Steers were then shown in 3 showmanship categories where Judges had to take their time deliberating. Competitors were even made to swap steers to lead around the ring in order to show how the animals would respond under different leadership. Charlotte Wasylik was awarded 1st place in Senior Showmanship, with Brie Watson in 2nd place. Paul Dahoy was awarded 1st in Intermediate Showmanship, with Kamryn Oddan in 2nd place. Wyatt Jacula received 1st in Junior Showmanship, and Robyn Axley received 2nd place. Both Vermilion and Clandonald 4-H Beef Clubs tied for their Barn Display entries. “We select our steers at the end of October, and perform regular chores until spring, when we help the younger members at the Mock Achievement Day,” said Senior Member, Justin Chase from Vermilion. “It was nice to see the senior members supporting the junior members with grooming and leading through the show and sale,” said Vermilion Leader Derek Jones. “I love public speaking and the camps because the people you meet in 4-H are lifelong friends. 4-H teaches us a lot of valuable lessons; like our motto, ‘Learn to do by doing,’” said Senior Member, Emerson Livingstone from Vermilion. “I enjoy working with all the animals and fitting and clipping them which I was shown by my dad and uncle. I like 4-H in general because I have gone to summer camps, and in the 1st day judging class I broadened my judging skills, which has taken me to the provincial level 2 years in a row. I will be saving to buy more cattle and get a beginner farmer’s loan so that I can go on to farm,” said Senior Member, Nicholas BBQ b y Habit at For Huma nity

Wasylik. The Grand Champion Steer was awarded to Ashley Jones, from Vermilion. Jones was presented the award by Sponsor, Phil Tovell, from Crop Protection Services. The Reserve Champion Steer was awarded to Wyatt Jacula from Clandonald. Jacula was presented the award by Sponsor, Jason Clampitt, from Vermilion Insurance. The 4-H Sale began with auctioning Ashley Jones’ Grand Champion steer. The other members followed showing their prime Alberta beef specimen to prospective buyers with an
average price of $2.67/lb. “The children had excellent steers, and it was nice to see how they all worked together to make the whole day happen,” said Vermilion Leader Derek Jones. Webb’s of Vermilion provided a pancake breakfast for the participating clubs, and Cargill sponsored a lunch held in the Butler Building for 4-H members. A large crowd gathered at the Vermilion Golf Course for the 49th Annual beef dinner provided by the Stewart family for the perspective buyers, 4-H leaders, parents and families of the members.

4-H Members turned out their animals in style for the 2016 Vermilion 4-H Beef Interclub Heifer Show at the Vermilion Fair Grounds on May 29. But there can only be one winner, and this year’s Grand Champion Heifer and Reserve Champion Overall Female was awarded to Logan Garnier from Clandonald 4-H club.
Raising A Grand Champion And What It Takes!
Logan said he was very confident from early on with how his heifer was progressing over the last year, and that he knew she would be a good one. “I knew by how conditioned she was and from how feminine she looked, she was very quiet when I put her in the pen,” said Logan, delighted with the win. Logan says he will be holding on to his heifer and showing her as a cow/calf next year. It is Logan’s fourth year of 4-H and this was his second heifer. The heifer is now pregnant with an Angus sire from one of his own bulls. Logan said he hopes she will probably have a calf every year for the next 12 years. “There is a lot of work that goes into raising a champion,” says Logan. “My dad helped me. We led her 7 times last month in the lead up to the show. She would eat as much as she could so we had to watch

and cut her back. “I’d like to say thanks to Fern Axely, my 4-H leader, for setting everything up,” added Logan. Clandonald 4-H Leader, Fern Axely says the benefits of being in 4-H set kids up who want to go into farming and give them skills for life, from working with the animals, to public speaking, presenting in front of an audience and the leadership training that they get from the camps during the summer. The Vermilion 4-H Beef show results from May 29 were as follows; Yearling Heifer Champion, Logan Garnier. Reserve Champion, Justin Chase. Two Year Old Cow/calf, Avery Hickman and Grace Cleland. Three Year Old Cow/calf, Brie Watson and Logan Garnier. Champion Cow/Calf, Avery Hickman

Tim Hortons Holds 5th Annual Camp Day Fundraiser
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
Some of the Vermilion Tim Hortons team members traded pouring coffee for squeegees on Wednesday, June 1 to raise money for Tim Horton’s Camp Day. “Camp Day is the one day each year where all sales from coffee, along with money raised through other activities at Tim Horton Restaurants is donated to the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation,” said Vermilion Tim Horton owner Greg Whitney. In addition, customers had the opportunity to purchase Camp Day T-shirts, caps, bracelets, beverage bottles and light up bouncy balls. “Today was a great success because of our valued customers and team member’s hard work. Without them the day could not have been the success it was,” said Whitney. “Camp Day gives us the opportunity to help send children aged 9-18 to one of the 7 foundation camp locations.” “I have been to two of the Foundation camps and the counselors there are phenomenal. They work very hard to support each child and help them build
their self-confidence and to learn new skills. The camp experience also gives children the opportunity to interact and make new friends,” added Whitney. Tim Horton Children’s Foundation is dedicated to fostering a brighter future within children, as 1 in 6 children in Canada and the United States live in economically disadvantaged homes. For more information regarding Tim Horton camps and to continue to donate you can visit: http://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/ childrens-foundation/index.php.

Spark A Conversation, Loneliness Thrives Among Seniors
Lorna Hamilton Editor
W h e n o u r parents hold us for the first time, their hopes and dreams are to see us grow into independent, successful, caring adults. I know those were my thoughts after having each of my children. Our parents sacrifice many things to look after us for the years we need them. They teach us, guide us and provide for us. This week is Seniors’ Week, and for that occasion, I think it is important to show the seniors of our community how much we appreciate them, for without our seniors we wouldn’t be here. The seniors of our community are our grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Our grandparents brought our parents into this world, and our parents brought each one of us into this world, so I think it is only fitting that each of us show our senior generation how valuable they are to us. The seniors of our community were once vibrant young individuals, just like us, who could work and socialize without any restrictions. They contrib-

I was happy to see the weekend come a couple of weeks back, but was rather down in the dumps as it was pouring rain, and the garden needs to be planted but it was a duck pond, well a mud bath for the pup. The good thing was I finally got the riding mower fixed; it’s a good thing as the wife is only 4’ 11 and I was scared I was going to lose her in the grass of the lawn. However, it continued to pour outdoors. Saturday I woke up kinda grumpy as it was still pouring rain, and I have so much to do outdoors, we spent most of the day indoors in the shop reorganizing things. It star ted of f as a cat ex traction mission, two cats got into the shop when we had the big doors open, they were a couple of the wife’s farm kitty’s that are a little on the wild side. It’s amazing where they can hide, and these t wo knew all the hiding spots, and had no intention of leaving, I spent four hours hard labour reorganizing things to make them cat proof. Well by mid-day I had half the shop ripped apart and there were still two cats in the shop, Miss Oohohh wasn’t much help, she guarded the big open main door, I think she thought the idea was to keep them from getting out. It was still pouring rain out there, now grumpier than ever the wife told me she had enough and to go fishing; I thought fishing in the pouring rain was
uted and built the community we now call home, without their hard work and dedication maybe our town would not be here today, who knows? The senior community, even in their aging years, still contribute so much to our town. Many of them still work in town and on farms, they volunteer within our community and just by existing they contribute a daily smile as you walk down the street. I have never passed a senior when a smile wasn’t returned with a smile or a how are you today? I think by having seniors in our community, it makes it a happier, better place to live. However, did you know that a huge portion of seniors living in any community feels socially isolated? According to a 2013 Canadian survey, just over a third of Canadians aged 65 to 74 are living with some form of disability, adults 80 years and older report having two or more chronic conditions which can cause them to become socially isolated. Social isolation can have serious psychological and cognitive effects on a senior. The numbers are staggering
when you read that 1 in 4 seniors live with a mental health issue, whether it is depression, anxiety or mere loneliness. Another report I read and studied one time while working with the elderly said “15% of adults 65 years or older who live within our community suffered from depression. And approximately 50% of people over the age of 80 reports feeling lonely, with men over the age of 80 having the highest suicide rate of all age groups. That is some pretty huge numbers. So how can we as a society help make our elderly less lonely? Well, I think it is pretty simple. We can get off our butts and visit our loved ones, or a member of our community that we know may be feeling lonely and shut out. Visit some of the seniors at the nursing homes or lodges. If you see a senior of our community sitting by themselves in a restaurant spark up a conversation with them, that one conversation maybe just what they need. Offer a helping hand; you will be surprised how good it makes you feel. We all have busy lives, but try and take even a few minutes to make a

better than being grumpy and indoors. So, I loaded up the truck with fishing gear, dressed up in full rain gear and let a soaking wet fur baby in the truck; what the heck, I had rain gear on, and we headed out. I swear as we arrived at the fishing pond and I got the rod out of the truck the rain stopped, and the sun came out, it was an absolutely beautiful evening. It actually got too hot for rain gear; the water was like a sheet of glass and the fish started rising, even Miss Oohohh who was burning laps in circles and in and out of the water. She sat beside me and watched the line, and only got a little excited when a fish was on, but hey…I was darn excited as well, so it was all good; other than that excitement peace and serenity swept over me. The wife was right again and somehow knew what the cure was my best fur friend sitting by my side at the fish pond. I still couldn’t believe the difference in the weather, and the only downfall was the fish were biting too well, it would interfere with the fishing a lot, my plan was to get a couple of fish just the right size for another BBQ supper. Wouldn’t you know it, each fish was perfect, and soon we had the main menu supplied, but all was good, and I was as calm as the still sunset, the cure did its job well. When Miss Oohohh was a pup, I had to chase her down and carry her to get her into the pickup; now she is in the seat whenever I open a door for any reason, she loves her “rides”. I just have to ask her if she wants to
VERMILION VOICE
go for a “ride” and she is at the door of the pickup, of course, I renovated the xtra cab in the back, and built a plywood floor that fits over the seats and the entire back of the cab. I also have to have the passenger window open enough so she can get her head out the window comfortably, she moves from the front to back freely from passenger window to my window which has to be open also. She doesn’t interfere with driving at all as she is in the back when she sticks her head out of my window. She likes to see everything, and it’s kind of funny when doing the speed limit as her lips are flapping in the wind. Sunday, I woke up to a beautiful sunrise, it was once again clear, and by mid-morning I could cut the grass although the grass was damp and too long at least it wasn’t raining, it was a little slow going. This mower has a 42-inch cutting swath; the 46 inch is still down and even with the 42-inch cut by the time I did the main yard, garden area and outdoor archery range it was evening. I started at around 10:30 a.m. and finished at around 7:30 p.m., that’s

change in someone else’s life. I have always loved being around the senior population; they tell great stories of times I have never experienced. if you sit and listen you can learn a lot about them. They will tell about how it used to be growing up without running water and electricity, or tell you about the long work days they once did and some will even tell you about their times in war. Back then, and still now they know how to be social. Our generation has grown up with electronic devices; we have lost our sense of sociability as we now tend to sit and stare at a screen for most of our days, having conversations with no feeling only through the emojicon we send in a text message. We have lost our ability to socialize through normal methods of communication, speaking and listening. So the next time you see one of our seniors put down your phone and spark a conversation, you may be surprised to learn that we too need a connection with the outside world, not just our seniors. Take this week and every week to show the seniors of our community how much we appreciate them!!
over 8 hours. Of course, I stopped several times to stretch my legs and play with the pup; she just doesn’t get it why I have to do that …spend all day cutting that stuff just to have to do it again next week. It was warm and sunny all day, a beautiful day once more, it was weird a n d ir o n i c, b e c au s e I ju s t p ar ke d the lawnmower in the barn came out to ad m ir e my wo r k a n d r a i n d r o p s splashed on my face. Minutes later there was lightning, thunder, and the wind and pouring rain once again, but I didn’t care I was happy. I had fresh fish supper; the lawn looked awesome and a wet dog by my side….life was good. When The Smoke Clears It’s funny how when life can look so dark and grim, the clouds can open up to a warm ray of sunshine, making you thankful for what you have.

Our dreams I guess change as we experience life, and things happen to refocus our interests I suppose, but even as a youngster I can remember thinking about things I could do or be as I was growing up. But my parents did provide a safe, secure home, and there was always good eats and last but by no means least, we always had music on the radio, and my mom would play the piano for us to sing along to!! My Dad was my hero, and I thought he was the best of all things, the best driver, the best shot, he was strong and agile, and I just loved to be around him, he truly influenced my life in a positive way. Everything he did well, I wanted to be and do the same. That’s the way it was. I think being able to shoot and hunt was something I needed to do to impress him, and I had my first.22 on my 10th birthday and practised and shot until I could hit things!! I had to be ever better because I was left handed

My Golden Dreams
and it seemed in those days; that was a sign that was thought to make you deficient. No Kidding!! To compound that, of all things I dreamt of flying, and every thought and effort went into making toy aircraft, windmills with propellers and I’d go around whirling those planes and making those props which Dad just couldn’t understand anyone wanting to fly and how come he had a left-handed son!! I never had any thought of playing ball for a living, but I did a lot of singing and wanting to make music. It was just a dream I kept hidden for years. I had a penchant for being in a boat and catching fish too, another thing that had my father wondering how come, he hated being on the water in a boat, and I remember only one occasion when he did go fishing. Yes, and I dreamt about being a guide for a living, but fishing was a diversion that I could only fit into a farm life on maybe once or twice a summer. No wonder I dreamt of doing more of something I thought so interesting and exciting. I did love country life and riding
through the coulees, but it was growing things and being around the cattle that did satisfy my country life in a real way. But it seems life is not dreams come true. I really loved my family, but with all the work my farm required to give me a living, I got to spend so little time with them, and it seemed like in a flash they were grown and gone. It seems the same has come true with my grandchildren also. Through the course of a life time, the one dream I did realize was getting to own my own little aircraft and fly it too. What a wonderful occasion that was to buy and fly my little “Taylorcraft” home from Manitoba. A dream come true!! As much as I enjoyed country life and being free to live more or less as a country boy, I ended up leaving the Kul’e Vue” ranch and got a small place that needed an outside source income, and I bought a vacuum truck and got into the trucking business. That certainly wasn’t on the radar of any dream at all- ever!! But there I was running around the country meeting folks and getting started on a career of music and singing!!
That part was certainly in my dreams; I really loved the ability and talents I was gifted with, and I travelled to concerts and sang in the choir and even went on a tent crusade one summer. That was really a living dream. Along about there I moved back to Vermilion and met the folks who ran this paper. Now that certainly had never entered my dreams to attempt to put my stories to print, although I did like to relate hunting and fishing experiences and was told by people who liked my stories, that I should just write like I talk. No shortage of B.S. there they all say. Well to say it’s a wonderful surprise to have so many tell me they like what I’m doing, I’ll try to keep it up. The thought of being appreciated is beyond anything I could have ever even dreamt. My take is if you have a dream act on it. If you don’t, try to do something you enjoy. If not that, maybe something will come your way to make a better living. I guess the main thing is to make sure you have something to get up for EACH morning. Writing and music and gardening do it for me!!

Cucumber Salad
Dawn Hames Columnist
This is a good old fashioned farm salad. Traditionally it is made with sour cream, but Greek yogurt is a great alternative because it contains probiotic cultures which benefit our immune system. When selecting Greek yogurt for this salad, be sure to read the label carefully and buy all natural yogurt, without vanilla or sweeteners. You will also want to read the label when purchasing yogurt to select yogurt that has active bacterial cultures. The word “active” is key in getting the probiotics that will bring the greatest benefit. The addition of a little honey to your Greek yogurt, or to any dairy increases the bio-availability of the beneficial calcium in the yogurt. The lemon and the dill and seasoning add farm fresh flavour to this creamy dressing. You can also use fresh field or garden cucumbers, and adjust the amount of thinly sliced onion to suit your taste. Being a cool as a cucumber is an expression that science has given new meaning to. It turns out that cucumbers contain substances that actually help our bodies to cool off internal inflammation and may even help prevent cancer. Cucumbers also contain the flavonal, fisetin, which is currently showing promise in protecting the brain from age-related decline. If you are prone to allergies in the spring or fall, this might be the perfect salad for you as both cucumbers and onions contain the nutrient quercetin, which is a natural antihistamine. Another salad that contains both cucumbers and onions and may give relief to allergy suffers, is a Greek Salad. Cucumbers also contain nutrients that nourish the pancreas and plant sterols that may help regulate cholesterol. Other nutrients such as silica promote healthy connective tissue and hair growth. When Cucumber juice is mixed with carrot juice, it can be beneficial
in reducing uric acid and the pain from gout and arthritis. This salad is very low in calories, but high in healthy ingredients. Be sure to wash your cucumbers well before slicing to remove pesticides and herbicides. Try to avoid purchasing the cucumbers with a waxy coating, as this coating should be peeled away. Cucumber Salad 1 1/2 cups natural Greek Yogurt or sour cream 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 1/2 teaspoons Lemon 2 – 3 teaspoons honey 1 long English cucumber sliced 1/2 onion thinly sliced Mix together the yogurt, dill, salt, pepper, lemon, and honey. Stir in the cucumber and onion. This salad is best served fresh.

2016 Edwin Parr Winner
Jody Wolosiak Submitted
On Friday, May 27 at a ceremony In Edmonton, Ms. Kailey Legget te of Buffalo Trail Public Schools was selected as the winner of the Alberta School Board’s Zone 2/3 2016 Edwin Parr Award. This is an award given to outstanding first year teachers by the Alberta School Board Association (ASBA). Only six first year teachers from across the entire province of Alberta are selected to receive this prestigious award. Over 20 School Boards from ASBA Zone 2/3 submitted candidates for consideration by the selection committee and Ms. Leggette took home the gold. As a first year teacher at Vermilion Elementary School, Kailey’s goal is to bring her love of music, the outdoors
and making a difference into her classroom. When asked what they like most about music, one student described Miss Legget t ’s music class as “so much fun, because you never know what you will learn that day. We might get to learn new songs, play instruments, compose music, play games or learning about cool guys like Mozart and Beethoven.” This award provides recognition of the work being done in BTPS to support our new teachers. We are very proud of the work our mentorship, teacher effectiveness support teams and school based professional development days do to support our new teachers. “The BTPS Board of Trustees has made a commitment to the growth of our staff to increase teacher effectiveness to maximize student learning,”
says Superintendent Bob Allen, “the time that our staf f spends on nonstudent days are days spent learning and working hard to do all we can for our students. Time for new teachers like Kailey to network and learn with our more experienced staff is invaluable. We appreciate the support of our parents who understand the benefits of making sure our teachers have the best knowledge available to educate

their children.” Since 2009, BTPS has had three of their first year teachers recognized through this very significant provincial award, one in 2009, another in 2014 and now Ms. Leggette in 2016. We are very proud of this and continue to support our teachers in their growth as educators. Congratulations Ms. Leggette on a job well done!

Without your dedication to these animals this day would not have happened. I know all of us parents are proud of all your hard work.
There is a time for all things and for the Vermilion Women’s Connection now is the time to say farewell but it is also a time to celebrate. “This year marks the 50th Anniversary of Stonecroft in Canada and so we are very pleased to be celebrating that event,” said Janice Schock, president of Vermilion Women’s Connection. “We are also all a bit sad too as this will be our final event as a club. It has had an amazing run of over 30 years and there are so many women in our community who have Christian ties to our group.” The 50th celebration of Stonecroft will be held on Wednesday, June 22 at the Vermilion Elementary School and the theme is Celebrate The Light. The celebration has a dual purpose as the organization wants to recognize the contributions of women across Canada who have worked to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to women. The second
purpose is to celebrate their launch of a new initiative to invite a new generation of women into a relationship with Jesus through a film series and discussion group. “Even though the Vermilion Women’s Connection will no longer be holding meetings or events in Vermilion that doesn’t mean women cannot connect to Stonecroft through this new initiative,” said Schock. “It is always there for the right person to come along and grab hold of it just like when we first started our group.” In the beginning Schock says they had an executive of at least 12 people and events would draw about 150 women. “It really was wonderful to be a part of such an amazing group of women. It has always been about reaching out to women who did not have a relationship with Jesus. To share our faith.” They also held special events such as the graduation event which honoured graduates from the surrounding area. “It is wonderful to think of how many graduating girls we were able to bless over the past 30 years,” said Schock. At the event on June 22 there will be a special guest speaker as Lorraine Myrholm the former National Director of Stonecroft will be attending. “We are so excited to listen to what she has to share,” said Schock. “It is our hope that women who have been touched by this ministry will come out and join us for that evening. It is really amazing at how many women over the years participated in our event and so we hope to see many of them that night as it is going to be very special.” The event is a salad supper event and special music will be presented by Adena Paget. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. and the cost of admission is $10. For more information contact: June at 780-853-4209 or Lil at 780-853-4252.

How To Fund Life’s Enjoyments Throughout Retirement
From exotic vacations to golf club memberships, ever yone’s vision of ret ire m e nt i s d i f fere nt . O n e t h i n g in c o mm o n for retirees an d those approaching their golden years is the importance of confirming your goals and creating a financial plan to help you reach them. According to a recent TD survey 9 in 10 (92%) Canadian boomer respondents said that it’s important for them to take time for life’s enjoyments. Lee
Bennett, senior vice president, TD Wealth Financial Planning, says goalbased planning can help fund these enjoyments throughout the retirement years. Bennett offers the following advice: Establish Your Goals The first step to building a realistic and fulfilling retirement plan is to identify and set goals. Whether your goal is short-term or long-term, identifying milestone targets, such as saving a
certain amount of money each month, will help make any goal more attainable. The Road to Success Meeting with a financial planner can ensure you get on the right track to achieve your goals, whether you’re already retired or still a few years away. A planner will work with you to help create a roadmap that is personalized to how you’d like to spend your retirement. Don’t Set It and Forget It
After building a plan and committing to stick with it, it’s important to review progress on a regular basis and make adjustments along the way. Bennet t encourages boomers to make investing in enjoyment a top priority. “From clearly outlining your goals, to staying on track with the help of a financial planner, there are many ways to fund activities you love throughout your retirement years.” www.newscanada.com
Life Can Get Better After A Stroke
June is Stroke Awareness Month and did you know that over 400,000 Canadians currently live with the effects of a stroke – and those include the mental, emotional, and physical challenges that impact the quality of life? There is good news in medical advancements however, so here’s an update. The physic al ef fec ts of a stroke var y and they depend on the areas of the brain affected, and the degree of damage. One of the most painful effects for adults is limb spasticity, a condition where muscles become tight and stiff, and resist being stretched. Spasticity affects more than 65 per cent of people within weeks and months of an at tack and usually
11
affects the arms, fingers, and/or the legs. Spasticity can also be accompanied by painful muscle spasms. The restriction of movement makes dayto-day life a struggle and may require caregiver assistance for even the most basic movements. If you are c urrently managing a stroke or are a caregiver, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s often a long road to recovery taking months and even years. Seeking therapies including physiatry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and podiatry can help in relieving pain, increasing mobility, and improving quality of life for stroke survivors. For limb spasticity, there are medi-
cations such as muscle rela xants, benzodiazepines (sedatives/anti-anxiety drugs) and lesser known injectable treatments such as botulinum toxin, which are all effective treatment options. These medications can help promote muscular relaxation, thereby reducing spasticity and discomfor t. Consulting a medical exper t is the first step in determining the treatment option best for you.

Preventing Elder Abuse
Canada Safety Council Submitted
Every year, elderly Canadians are abused in their own homes, in relatives’ homes, and even in facilities responsible for their care. It is estimated that between four and 10% of seniors in Canada experience some kind of abuse. And one in five Canadians believes they know of a senior who might be experiencing some form of abuse. As elders become less able to take care of themselves it becomes more difficult for them to stand up for themselves. They may not see or hear as well, or think as clearly as they used to, leaving openings for people to take advantage of them. What is elder abuse? Commonly recognized types of elder abuse include physical, psychological and financial. Often, more than one type of abuse occurs at the same time. Abuse can be a single incident or a repeated pattern of behaviour. Financial abuse is the most commonly reported type of elder abuse. Physical Abuse Physical elder abuse is non-accidental use of force against an elderly person that injures or causes physical pain, and may include: striking; hitting; pushing; shaking; burning; shoving; inappropriate physical restraints; or harm created by over or under medicating. Psychological Abuse Psychological elder abuse includes actions that decrease their sense of self-worth and dignity, and may include: insults; threats; intimidation; humiliation; harassment; treating them like a child; ignoring; or isolating them from family, friends or regular activities. Financial Abuse Financial abuse of elders involves unauthorized use of an elderly person’s funds or property. This includes actions

necessities. What are the signs and symptoms of elder abuse? Elder abuse and neglect can be very difficult to notice. You might not recognize signs as being abuse immediately.

ing on elders to make or change a will, or to sign legal documents that they do not fully understand; and sharing an older person’s home without paying a fair share of the expenses when requested. Neglect of Elders Elders who are the most vulnerable to neglect include those who are socially isolated, and those with serious health conditions. Elder neglect can be intentional or unintentional (ignorance or denial). This type of elder abuse may include a caregiver or family member not providing appropriate nourishment, shelter, clothing, medication or medical attention, and assistance with basic

They may appear to be symptoms of dementia or signs of the elderly person’s frailty — or caregivers may explain them to you that way. Many of the signs and symptoms of elder abuse do overlap with symptoms of mental deterioration, but that doesn’t mean you should dismiss these warning signs. The following are a few warning signs that could indicate some form of elder abuse: changes in personality or behaviour in the elder; fear, anxiety, depression or passiveness in relation to a family member, friend or care provider; unexplained physical injuries, such as brusies, sprains, or broken bones;

behaviour that mimics dementia, such as rocking, sucking, or mumbling to oneself; dehydration, poor nutrition or poor hygiene; improper use of medication; confusion about new legal documents, such as a new will or a new mortgage; sudden changes in elder’s finances, such as significant withdrawals; and reluctance to speak about the situation. How can elder abuse be prevented? What you can do as a concerned family member or friend: Watch for warning signs that might indicate elder abuse. If you suspect abuse, report it. Look for any discrepancies in the elder’s medications. Watch for possible financial abuse. Ask the elder if you may scan bank accounts and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions. Call and visit as often as you can. Help the elder consider you a trusted confidante. Offer to stay with the elder so the caregiver can have a break — on a regular basis, if you can. If an elder is experiencing abuse they may feel ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone in fear of retaliation or punishment. It is essential that elder’s have access to information and are aware of available help. Make sure to listen to your elderly parents, friends, or other family members and take their concerns seriously. If you suspect abuse, report it immediately to health care providers, social services, police, legal professionals and/or members of faith communities. If you are an elder who is being abused, neglected, or exploited, tell at least one person. Tell your doctor, a friend, or a family member whom you trust. Other people care and can help you.

Three Indispensable Tips For Seniors On Smartphone Safety
(NC) Do you remember rotary dials, par ty lines and payphones? These days, the world is just a touchscreen away. The technology is fascinating but for seniors especially, it’s important to balance convenience with security and privacy precautions. The following three tips will help you enjoy all the benefits smartphones offer, worry free: 1. Be App Safe From games and daily planners to health care and transportation solutions, there are apps for almost any need. But some have been designed to gain access to personal data. Limit risks by first, only downloading apps from trusted sources, such as Google Play and the Apple App Store,
and also by choosing strong privacy settings, paying attention to permission settings, and disabling tracking features, like GPS, when not in use. And remember to keep your device operating system up-to-date so you have the latest security software. 2. Don’t Talk to Strangers Your phone connects you with loved ones, but it can also expose you to scams and online predators. “Criminals often target seniors with tex t messages, emails, and social media messages promising too-goodto-be-true investments, contests, or low-cost medications,” explains Shelly Smith, director of Telus Wise. “Typically, these are supported with professional
websites and seemingly legitimate company names, so it’s no wonder they work.” Trivia and other games texted directly to you also pose a threat. Simply opening these can incur major fees. As a rule of thumb, never engage with unknown senders or click suspicious links – and never transfer money to strangers. 3. Protect Yourself in Case of Smartphone Loss Before your smartphone goes missing, you can safeguard your information in a few ways. Invest in a warranty program. Install software that allows you to remotely erase data – some devices already have this built in. Create strong passwords using acro-
nyms, combinations of let ters and numbers, and dif ferent cases and special characters. But what if the smartphone disappears? “Immediately contact your phone company,” says Smith. “They can help you find or replace it promptly.” Your smartphone opens up countless possibilities so combine these tips with common sense to stay safe while you stay connected.

Profile Of A Senior
Darlene Submitted
Who is a Senior Citizen? What is one? A Senior Citizen is one who was here before the Pill and the Population explosion. We were here before television, penicillin, polio shots, antibiotics, and Frisbees. Before frozen food, nylon, Dacron, Xerox, Kinsey, radar, fluorescent lights, credit cards and ballpoint pens. For us, time-sharing meant togetherness, not computers; a chip meant a piece of wood, hardware meant hard wear and software wasn’t
even a word. Coeds never wore slacks. We were before pantyhose and drip-dry clothes, before ice-makers and dishwasher, clothes dryers, freezers and electric blankets. Before Hawaii and Alaska became states. Before men wore long hair and earrings, and women wore tuxedos. We were before Leonard Bernstein, yogurt, Ann Landers, plastic, the 40 hour week and the minimum wage. We got married first and then lived together. How quaint can one be? Closets were for clothes, not for coming out of; Bunnies were small rabbits and
rabbits were not Volkswagens. We were before Grandma Moses and Frank Sinatra and cup-sizing for bras. Girls wore Peter Pan collars and thought cleavage was something butchers did. We were before Batman, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Snoopy. Before DDT, vitamin pills, disposable diapers, Q.E. One, Jeeps, The Jefferson Memorial, and pizza. Cheerios, instant coffee, decaffeinated anything, and McDonald’s were all unheard of. We thought that fast food was what you ate during Lent. We were before Boy George, J.D. Salinger, and Chiquita Banana. Before FM radios,

tape recorders, electric typewriters, word processors, MUZAK, electronic music, disco dancing – and that’s not all bad! In our day cigarette smoking was fashionable; grass was for mowing, Coke was a refreshing drink and pot was something you cooked in. If we’d been asked to explain CIA, MS., NATO, UFA, NFL, JFK or IUD, we’d have said alphabet soup. We are today’s Senior Citizens, a hardy bunch when you think of how OUR world has changed and of the adjustment, WE have had to make.

may not be able to live on their own. This trend has been corroborated in a few recent studies. Information from the Pew Research Center showed 7.7 million children in the United States were living in the same household as one of their grandparents in 2011. A University of Chicago analysis of a decade of data based on interviews with 13,614 grandparents, ages 50 and older, found that 61 percent of grandparents provided at least 50 hours of care for their grandchildren during any given year between 1998 and 2008. And an April 2012 study for the MetLife Mature Market Institute and the nonprofit Generations United, an intergenerational policy group, found that 74 percent of respondents provided weekly child care or babysitting service for grandkids. Grandparents of ten cite helping their own children financially as well as staying in touch with grandchildren as motivating factors behind providing

care. According to Generations United, staying in touch with grandkids can give seniors a feeling of self-worth and improve their overall health. When spending so much time together, grandparents may develop special relationships with their grandchildren, who may benefit from the knowledge and wisdom offered by their elders. The following are some lessons grandparents can share with youngsters. * E m p a t hy: B y s h a r i n g s t o r i e s of how things were when they were younger, when opportunities may have been more scarce, grandparents can help teach grandchildren empathy. Grandchildren may learn to be grateful for the things they have and the people around them, rather than taking what they have for granted. * Family histor y: Grandparents can tell grandchildren about family members, including youngsters’ own
parents, and shed light on the generations that came before them. Looking through photos or watching old movies can provide the avenue by which to start conversations about family history and give children opportunities to ask questions. * Interests: Children may be excited about learning new skills or hobbies taught to them by their grandparents. Anything from gardening to woodworking can be shared. * Respect: Children who grow up respecting their grandparents may have an increased tendency to respect authority figures outside their homes, which may help kids grow up to be more courteous and kind. Grandchildren also offer benefits to their grandparents. Companionship, new experiences and conversation can help keep grandparents’ minds sharp and bodies active well into their golden years.

(NC) A barbecue master is looking for prime performance at all times, no matter whether they fire up the old-faithful every year or splurge on a new top-of-the-line grill. Dara Greenberg, the senior merchant for grills at The Home Depot Canada shares her go-to cleaning tips to get the most out of your barbecue all summer long. Give it a good wipe down Clean the exterior with soapy water to remove any build up that can occur from sitting outside. Try to do this every couple of weeks to help remove any dust and residue sitting loose on your grill.

The Right Gardening Balance With Jim Williams
Reporter
“It’s a wise person that likes gardening,� says Jim Williams. “Gardening is about as basic as you can get in life.� Jim started gardening in the orchards in British Columbia at the young age of 18, before going to work in the Arctic oil fields for a short stint. “I spun off into the high Arctic oil fields for a while, I think as every youthful person does,� said Jim. After returning, Jim ran and owned a few small landscape businesses in Edmonton and Kelowna, before he
returned to Vermilion in 1985 and worked at Lakeland College for 11 years, where he was the grounds manager, managing 7 campuses. Jim was a provincial judge for Communities in Bloom, as well as travelling from one coast to the other as a national judge, for 13 years. The garden centre, Lawn Gardens Landscapes, owned by Jim and Bonnie, turned 25 years this year. Jim says that the secret to gardening is all about getting the right balance. “I think people would be surprised how easy it is to take care of plants if you use
the right tools, the right foods, the right watering techniques, the right preparation for winter, transplanting techniques and the right care and planting procedures,â€? said Jim. Jim gave the following tips on how best to plant with a bright potted plant called ‘Saucy Red Salvia’ in an outdoor container. “Mix up some black earth and potting soil together, so that it’s nice and light and easy for the fresh young roots to start in. Keep it nice and light; pack it down well. Always cover the existing soil that you have with new fresh soil,â€? advises Jim. “Make sure there are no air pockets anywhere; make sure there is fresh soil around the top. Any wicking that may occur is caused by drying out, so make sure you cover it well,â€? says Jim. “Plants are living things just like children are; they need that dedicated care. You get out of them what you put into them, if you spend the time with them, manage and nurture them properly.â€? Jim says that lawns are a different animal. “There are lawns in the world that are 500/600 years old and have never been replaced because they were managed correctly, the environment was correct, the moisture was consistent, and the fertility was never forgotten. “I always get a kick out of people when they say, I’m going to tear out my lawn and put in a new one, my response to that is‌ well if you screwed up the first one, 4610 RAILWAY AVE VERMILION AB what makes you think you can do better the second one!â€? said Jim. 780-853-2180 with “A tree planted wrong in a garden can

Home And Garden Add Eye-catching Design Trends To Outdoor Spaces This Summer
(NC) Outdoor living continues to evolve, as Canadians are expanding their living spaces into the front and backyards at an increasing rate. Design enthusiasts are always looking to industry experts to discover what’s new and hot in outdoor design. Here to share some of this year’s latest outdoor design trends is Sharon Grech, a colour and design expert for Benjamin Moore. Bring indoor luxe outside: Glamourous, multi-functional and classic are all key traits to keep in mind when updating the interior of the home, and the same applies
for outside. “Outdoor living spaces are an extension of the home,” says Grech. “Creating backyard living rooms with sectionals and coffee tables, and front yard grand entrances with stunning doors and accessories is the new norm. Install shutters, add more trim around windows or switch out the hardware on your front or back door for something more sophisticated. It’s the little updates that have the biggest impact and will bring the flow from your home’s interior to the exterior.” Design more with less: This year, it’s all about simplicity in design. Eliminate clut-
ter and select sleek furniture to achieve a minimalistic look. Go through outdoor furniture and don’t be afraid to get rid of the items that don’t serve a purpose. Throw out patio chairs, tables or accessories that are old and clunky. Use only a few select varieties of flowers in the garden and keep garden accessories to a minimum. Go contemporary with pops of colour: Although designers often share their favourite neutrals, it’s crucial to strategically add pops of colour to any space. Light, airy shades and dynamic jewel tones are the go-to palettes this year.
F’ Laura n’ Company
Greenhouse
Incorporate these trendy colour schemes not only with accessories, but try painting architectural features like the front or back door. To easily add a trendy splash of colour to your doors, Grech recommends English Scone or Crete Countryside from Benjamin Moore. For best results, Grech suggests using a premium paint designed for doors, such as Aura Grand Entrance, which is specially formulated to retain colour integrity and gloss and is easy to apply.

Home And Garden 5 Great Tips To Reduce The Cost Of Home Renovations
(NC) You’ve bought a tool belt and are ready to go. For many, one of the joys of home ownership is renovating the proper ty to improve its appearance, for better use of space, and also to protect the investment. Before you start, however, there are some important considerations. W h i l e i t ’s c o m m o n p r a c t i c e t o buy insurance to protect your home against losses, Sylvain Renaud, vice president, per sonal lines at Intact Insurance, says that many homeowners don’t realize renovations can have an impact on their policy. “ B e fo r e r e n ovat i n g , i t ’s v i t a l t o contact your insurance provider to make sure you have the right coverage that accurately reflects your upgraded home,” Renaud points out. “In order
to b enefit fro m t he b est availa b le coverage, standard proper t y insurance policies require you to advise the company when renovation costs go over a certain amount. Making sure your investment is protected will give you peace of mind while creating your dream home.” Also, depending on the upgrades you make, you may be eligible for premium discounts, so be sure to ask. Here are some home renovation tips to help reduce monthly bills, stay safe, and prevent serious damage: 1. Properly insulate and ventilate your attic. When a house is not properly insulated the heating systems work harder, cost more to run, and consume more energy. 2. Insulate your water heater, hot
water pipes, and heating and cooli n g d u c t s to h e l p yo ur h o u s i n g system run more efficiently. 3. Check that hot water tank. The average life expectancy of a hot water tank is only eight to 10 years. Newer models are more efficient and won’t leak or burst. 4. Install home alarms for fire and theft as well as carbon monoxide detectors and water leak detection systems. 5. Consider installing a sump pump with a back-up system, or think about adding a back water valve to the main sewer line. These will reduce the likelihood of a messy sewer back up and provide valuable savings on your insurance premiums.

4 Important Steps For Hiring A Renovation Contractor
(NC) Do you have a renovation project on your to-do list this summer? This may mean you are about to hire a contractor. Most of us have heard a contractor horror story through a friend, family member, or have seen it on a home improvement show. Many things could go wrong. Whether it’s work not performed to code, not meeting your desired specifications, unexpected delays, or costs going way over budget, home renovations can be a stressful endeavour. “Spending thousands of dollars on your home is a big decision, so selecting the right contractor is an important step,” says Glenn Cooper from Aviva Canada. “While
stories of renovation nightmares are frequent, there are thousands of reputable contractors out there. A little preparation beforehand will certainly ease the stress.” A survey by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation reports that out of the 40 percent of households in 10 Canadian markets who renovate their home, about three quarters hire a contractor. Here are four important tips before you do: 1. Ask for referrals: Know someone who renovated their home? Ask them to refer contractors that they’ve used and had great success with – especially on similar projects. 2. Look for consistency and perma-
nence: The ideal service provider would have a physical business office and has been in business for a number of years under the same name. 3. Do a legal check: Ensure contractors are licensed by your province and that they have the proper insurance – meaning they are covered if they are injured during the project. 4. Notify your insurer: Contact your insurance broker to discuss if any of the renovations will require an adjustment to your home policy. More information is available from your insurance broker or from avivacanada.com.

(NC) When decorating, light is one of the most essential factors to consider when selecting a paint colour for your home. Does your space have natural or artificial light? Is the room north or south facing? Will the time of day affect the way the colour appears? Colours change under different lighting conditions, so here, Benjamin Moore’s colour and design expert, Sharon Grech, shares her tips on how to create harmony with light and colour: Consider the source: There are three primary sources of light: direct sunlight, indirect sunlight and artificial light. While natural light is the most “true” light with balanced warmth and cool undertones, not all spaces have floor to ceiling windows. Colours can change under various lighting conditions, can be affected by the direction your room is facing, and can appear differently
Let There Be Light
depending on where you live. “If your room faces north, the light tends to be cool,” Grech explains. “I recommend counter balancing with a warmer wall colour like Muslin CC-110 or Guilford Green HC-116. “If your space faces south, the light will likely be warm and intense around noon. A popular mid-tone such as Thunder AF-685 will look fresh throughout the day and rich in the evening.” When it comes to artificial light, each type of lighting, whether LED, fluorescent, halogen, or incandescent, can impact the way a colour is perceived. Decorating with various types of lighting is a good way to create a balanced atmosphere. Test drive: Be sure to test out the colour before you commit. Avoid costly mistakes by viewing your colour options at home with a paint chip or paint sample. Using a bristle or sponge brush, apply two coats of your colour sample on the wall and allow it to
dry for two hours for a true representation of the colour. Ask yourself what time of day you’ll likely be spending the most time in the space, and make your colour selection at that time of the day. Select a sheen: The finish you choose can play a major role in adding depth and texture to your space. It can determine how vivid details appear and how easy the surface will be to clean. “High gloss will create a glare, an element to consider if you are painting outdoors or in a space with intense lighting. For a clean and crisp design, contrast gloss trim with a matte finish on the walls,” explains Grech. For best results, she recommends a high-quality latex paint like Aura that is available in a variety of finishes and features exclusive colour lock technology.

Home And Garden Garden Party
Angela Mouly Reporter
The Vermilion Chapter of Communities In Bloom held their Annual Garden Party at the Vermilion Senior’s Centre on May 28. The Garden party had the Dean of Agricultural Sciences from Lakeland College, Josie Van Lent, speak on weeds, and Jill Dutchak from Dutchak’s Greenhouse speak on annual flowers. CIB President, Donna Moon said, “The speakers were very informative, and the Garden Party was very good, great for gardeners and planting.� There was a draw for a planter of green leafy vegetables that was won by Margaret Storch from Mannville, and Communities in Bloom supplied a large planter to draw winner, Leslie Westman. There was also a draw for a 2 - hour yard makeover, courtesy of Dutchak’s Greenhouse, won by Alice Swan.

The 19 th Annual Lions-CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) Texas Scramble golf tournament was held at the Vermilion Golf and Country Club on June 3. Nine holes of golf, a ‘blind long-drive,’ a ‘blind putt,’ dinner and prizes were put on to support programs and services for Albertans, who are blind or partially sighted. In 1925, Helen Keller challenged International Lions Club members to become ‘Knights of the Blind.’ Lion’s members rose to the challenge and have continued to do so by holding fundraising events such as these in their communities. “Every 12 minutes, someone in Canada

develops blindness or partial sight. More Canadians are diagnosed with agerelated macular degeneration than breast cancer, prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s combined. People with vision loss can suffer higher rates of depression, medication errors, falls and hip fractures, and premature admission to nursing homes,” according to CNIB Quick Facts. Half of the proceeds from the golf tournament will be donated to the CNIB, and the other half will fund the Vermilion Lions Club future playground development projects. The Vermilion Spray Park is one example of the Vermilion Lions Club’s more recent contributions. Also, the Alberta
chapter of the CNIB has members located locally that have provided vision help to people within the Vermilion community. Earl Stanley teamed up with first-time golfer, Ronnie Dodsworth, and said; “It’s nice to see everyone out supporting the cause. With them likely to blindfold us again this year, the wind may help my swing if it hits at the right angle.” “It’s a fun way to socialize and fundraise,” said participant, Bobbi Hamblin.

Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Today the Moon is in your sign opposing Mars. This opposition makes it easy to lose your temper today. Just remember there is no upside to this. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. Including you.
Today the Sun is opposite Saturn and the Moon is opposite Mars; and black is opposite white and up is opposite down. Yes, there are lots of polarities. But we can learn from polarities. When there are opposites we start to have a notion of centre. That's something.
Be patient with a romantic partner today. And patient with others at work, as well as issues at work, and really, with yourself, as well. Patience is tricky. It's easy to have when you're happy. But when you're unhappy - a whole different story!
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Avoid conflict with authority figures today. It's not worth it. There are enough conflicts and challenges this weekend, so keep things on the down low. Don't make a big deal about anything. Look forward to Sunday, which is fun and easy. Foreword ho!
This is not the day to make your pitch to the boss or ask for permission for anything because their response will be, "Talk to the hand." Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because they will be too touchy! Seek comfort in an ice cream cone. Ice cream soothes the soul.
Disputes about money, salary, possessions and responsibilities are some reasons you might find it touch and go today. Travel challenges are also likely. (It's one of those days.) Tomorrow is a bit dicey, tool. (Sunday is fine but goofy.)
Fiery Mars is in your sign now until early August. Today it opposes the Moon, which triggers temper outbursts. Don't bother getting your belly in a rash because there is no upside. Just suck it up and demonstrate grace under pressure. Be cool.
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Avoid disputes at work today. If they occur, it will be due to a sudden emotional outburst. This is a sort of thing that only makes things worse or highlights the problem. Use your breezy, friendly style to smooth over troubled waters. This is what you're good at. (Plus outdoor sports and a skill with animals.)
Parents must be patient with children today. Likewise, romantic partners must be patient with each other. Sports colleagues will be tempted by an outbreak of anger. But everyone faces this moment today when you suddenly want to lose it and tell someone off. It's not worth it. (Plus you look foolish.)
Avoid family squabbles today because they do so much harm and they have no benefit. Admittedly, this squabble would likely be triggered by knee-jerk reaction, but this can be controlled. Think about the advantages of a peaceful home.
Guard against emotional outbursts with others, especially siblings and relatives because this will not promote good times for yourself or others. Quite the opposite. You will only end up with egg on your face. However, if this happens, you should know that ketchup helps. Especially with fries.
Today has its challenges. You're concerned about financial matters (like feeling broke). Join the club. We number millions. We can't afford jackets. Just coast and take time off for good behaviour. Not every weekend is stellar.

Dogs Day Out Raises Funds For Guide Dogs
Marie Conboy Reporter
A Dog Walk and BBQ for Dog Guides took place in the Vermilion Park on Sunday, May 29. The Vermilion chapter of the Lions Club walk is now in its 7th year and nationally it is in its 31st year. A total of $2600.00 was raised
by the Vermilion Lions Club at this year’s dog walk. The Purina Walk for Dog Guides is a national fundraising walk held in more than 200 communities across Canada. It raises funds to help train Dog Guides for Canadians with visual, hearing, medical or physical disabilities. Each Walk is

organized by local volunteers with support from Lions Foundation of Canada. To date, the Walk has raised more than $13 million. “The walk raises money to train dogs to help people with very specific needs, such as hearing and vision loss, among others. Each dog guide costs $25,000 to train,” said Dog Walk Organizer,

I would also like to thank the volunteers that came out,” said Jimmy. “People who are blind need dogs to help them and it’s great to help them.”

Head To Hooves On May 31, George the Horse from Hidden Lake Ranch Bed and Breakfast and Campground was ready to be picked up after just 1 week of getting a head to hooves paint job, brand and all, at Herzog’s Auto Body. Frank and Florence Gannon have run Hidden Lake Ranch, which also offers trail riding, horse stabling, bird watching and walking trails since 1995. It is located east of Vermilion. Derrick Gannon (on left) and stepson Bryan Blanchette loaded George up for the trip back to Hidden Lake Ranch where he will be put back on his resting spot on top of the sign along Highway 16. Justin Pulyk, an employee of Herzog’s, had the project of reviving George. He said it was fun and a totally different experience. He also gave special care to all the finishing touches. Herzog’s will paint just about anything, and George is looking great!! Photo and article Sue Chikie

With the arrival of June comes final exams! Mr. Bates’ personal advice to students is, “nobody can effectively study for 3 hours straight. It is more effective to study for half an hour, take a break, study a new topic for another half an hour, and so on.” During exam week, all students will write one course per day in the mornings of exam week. In the afternoon, guided study sessions will occur for each junior high grade. In the afternoon, students will work with the teacher who will administer the upcoming exam. All Junior High students are expected to be in attendance. As for high school students, they also write exams in the mornings. Although
they do not have structured review in the afternoon, their course teachers are available to help with concerns or difficulties that students may have. Junior high jumping, running, and throwing athletes partook in the BTPS Northerns Meet on Tuesday May 24. Afterwards, many also competed in BTPS Finals, hosted again by J. R. Robson. The annual Bear Pitt presentation was held on Monday, May 30 to grade 11 and 12 students. The student-led presentation, hosted by local RCMP officers, invited students to ask questions about real-life scenarios involving decision making and legal consequences. Thanks to Mrs. Speck from VIBE for helping to organize this event! M r. Wo o d war d b r ave d t h e r a i ny weather with his Grade 11 and 12 P. E. students from Sunday, May 29 to the 31st.

Grade 1’s had fun learning their science curriculum last week. As part of their plants unit, they toured Lawns Gardens Landscapes Greenhouse and learned about the many plants, trees, and shrubs there. Students got to pick their favorite tree or shrub to have a picture with. From there, they walked to their class tree and noted the changes from their last visit in the late fall. They had lunch there and then some playground fun. Telus Science Centre was a great experience for Grade 5 students on May 26. There was a new gallery (Science Garage) to explore, and the IMAX movie about the building of the railway was amazing. Through the Robotics program, students created a workable definition of a robot, and learned to program simple commands through a computer program. Then they faced the challenge of seeing whose robot could make it the furthest through a maze by teams trying to set commands through trial and error. Students had 15 minutes to meet this challenge to the best of their ability and then they faced the other teams in a competi-

The Grade 10 students have had a very busy two weeks of school. The last week of May they finished their classes and wrote final exams. On Sunday, May 29, they boarded the school bus to head to the ASLC Leadership Conference in Calgary at Centennial High School for three days. The theme for this year’s conference was “May the Force Be With You”. The students went to sessions focusing on empowering youth to make a positive impact in their schools and communities and listened to amazing Keynote speakers, Ian Tyson, Scott Hammill, Tenille and Andy Thibodeau. There last evening there they were treated to a wonderful evening of entertainment and a dance. The Grade 10 students all came home excited and inspired to make a difference in their communities. On Wednesday, June 1 they started three weeks of learning at Lakeland College taking a variety of hands on skills - carpentry, automotive, design, electrical, and welding. May Elementary Happigrams were held in the Gathering Area on Thursday, June 2. Mrs. Moore’s Grade 1 and 2 students entertained the parents, relatives, and elementary students and staff when they performed the story, “5 Minutes of Peace” and sang the song, “This Little Light of Mine,” accompanied by Mrs. Diane Sanson on the guitar. Congratulations to all the students from Grades 1 - 5 who received Happigrams for the month of May for their hard work, for being kind and respectful to others, and for improving their

tion. What an amazing way to learn about resiliency using technology and science. The Grade 4 classes travelled to Fort Edmonton on May 31. They toured the trading post, a Cree Village and John Rowand’s house, learning some of the ways things were done during the Fur Trade in the late 1800’s. Students cooked bannock over an open fire and built a travois to carry firewood. The guides and actors at the various buildings helped to bring history alive as they played their roles. Many students realized how life was very different back then. Students then toured some of the buildings of 1905 when Alberta became a province. Our last AR assembly took place on June 1. The Grade 1 classes recited a poem about plants and then got us to guess answers to their ‘Who Am I?’ animal riddles. Mr. Harvey informed us that the Earth House League had the most points for the year. Mrs. McLaughlin presented Chante Ford with a set of walkie-talkies in a random draw from the Heart and Stroke campaign, and we found out that as a school, we raised $6515 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Endurance, stamina, and persistence are just a few of the qualities the students of Dewberry School possessed while practicing and participating in many events over the last several weeks. They definitely set their sights on first place but trained like they had to progress from second. One such victor, Ethan Warawa, proved his public speaking talents went beyond the classroom environment. Not only did he wow the judges at the annual BTPS speech contest with his ability to deliver an almost flawless speech, but he also had them chuckling. Congratulations, Ethan on your division 2 gold winning performance! The badminton season wrapped up as several students headed off to Provincials and brought home medals. Kyle Kjenner & Hailey Fanjoy earned a silver medal on the “A” side for their mixed doubles performance and Kyra Weidmark & Daneca Goldsmith earned a silver medal on the “B” side for girls’ doubles. Doubles badminton truly requires “Working Together for Success”! We are proud of all our athletes who attended Provincials. Thank you to Mr. Blatchford for all his dedication to coaching. As Patti Sue Plummer once said, “The gun goes off and everything changes... the world changes... and nothing else really matters.” These words were never truer for the track & field athletes. Whether they
were taking off, throwing, or riding a tail wind, they continued to display fantastic results. High School Districts were held at Lloydminster Composite and the following students went onto zones: Keagan Rewuski (1st – 3000 m and 2nd – 1500 m and high jump), Kyra Weidmark (2nd – 100 m, 200 m and 400 m) and Kenedi Wood (3rd – 800 m, 1500 m, and 3000 m). Their dedication showed through, yet again, at zones where Keagan received a silver medal in the 3000 m, Kyra qualified for the 4 X 400 relay with a gold medal performance and Kenedi placed 5th in the 1500 m. Good luck at Provincials Keagan and Kyra!! Junior High students revealed many strong qualities in various events during the Highway 16 Track & Field competition. These are the placements for the students in their respective events: Jace Weidmark 1st - long jump, triple jump and the 100 m; 2nd - hurdles, Jelena Parr: 2nd - triple jump; 5th - long jump, Keyauna Parr 5th – shotput; 3rd - discus, Jenna Bowman 5th – Javelin, Alexa Davies 6th - discuss, Paige Fanjoy 7th - javelin and shotput. Fantastic job, girls!! ‘Find the good. It`s all around you. Find it, showcase it and you`ll start believing in it.’ Jesse Owens. We are surrounded by good all the time, it’s always present. These students have drawn on it and demonstrated that their hard work and determination are the cornerstones to believing in it!! With belief systems like that, they will go far.
