Canada Day In Vermilion

Angela Mouly Reporter

Swarms of people bustled through the streets, taking in all the festivities offered to celebrate Multiculturalism and Canada Day in the Town of Vermilion on June 30.

Children’s activities were held from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the Vermilion Credit Union parking lot.

Lakeland College provided the sound system for the Open Stage performances that took place at the Telus Park on Main Street.

Rick Dees, who coordinated the Open Stage performances sang the original version of ‘Oh Canada’ accompanied by Bob Palinka on guitar at the Beef on A Bun lunch before heading over to the Open Stage. The lineup of stage performers included Bob Palinka, Rick Dees, Jim Votour and ‘Road Kill’ from Elk Point, Hannah Dupuis, Makenna Gallagher, and Jordan and Elaina John.

Outside, several activities took place including firefighters volunteering to help children experience operating a fire hose.

The Rotary Interact Youth Club hosted both a Build Your Own Ice Cream Sundae stand with the toppings sponsored by Shoppers Drug Mart, and a Fort Building Contest that included 10 teams and 50 participants.

‘Team Cardboard’ whose fort included a car, carport, a cat named Kevin and several rooms won the contest which was judged by Justin Thompson.

“The wind and working together were both challenges, but the fact that there are no rules made it fun!” said Florence Pasay of the Fort Building Contest.

T h e Ve r m i l i o n R o t a r y C l u b donated its 10th defibrillator to the community at the Midtown Medical Clinic on June 28. A defibrillator is an electrical device that provides a shock to the heart when there is a life threatening arrhythmia present.

The arrhythmia that we worry about is called ventricular fibrillation. This is the abnormally irregular hear t rhythm caused a by rapid uncoordinated fluttering contractions of the ventricle which causes the heart to be unable to pump blood causing cardiac arrest.

“This was a project we identified a few years ago as a Rotary Club because we wanted to put defibrillators in public places around our community,” said Chair of the Vermilion Rotary defibrillator committee, Craig Brown. “The Midtown Medical Clinic was identified as a place that should have a defibrillator.”

“We are very grateful for this donation, and we hope we never have to use it,” said Midtown Medical Clinic Manager, Shirley Charchun.

“This model of the defibrillator is very user-friendly, it talks to you and tells you the steps to follow. It basically says check for a pulse, you put the pads on, and if there is a regular pulse you don’t shock. If the heart is in defib then yes, you shock, but the vast majority of people do not need to be shocked; 85% just need compression,” explained Brown.

“One of the reasons why we chose to purchase this model is because it measures the depth of the compression when you are doing during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If you are not going two inches deep, it tells you to press harder, so it’s very intuitive and it understands what you are doing.

“Anybody can use it. As long as you can keep your head, it is very easy to use. The most impor tant thing is that people shouldn’t be afraid of the device,” added Brown.

The total cost of the defibrillator, including the glass cabinet, is $2,000.

A full day of celebrations was hosted by the Vermilion Elementary School on June 27. An assembly, a family picnic, and a magician were all on the program for the day.

Students were commended during the assembly for reading a combined total of 21,926 points in the Accelerated Reading Program (AR) this year. Prizes were handed out to top scorers and several other students.

“You can read books with pictures, and it’s really fun to read stories. Even when you make mistakes, the next time you might get it right,” encouraged Grade 1 student, Arenus Abuzukar about reading during the AR Program.

Several staff members who are moving on to new positions were recognized during a short farewell. Notably, Debbie Marriott, who retired at the end of this school year after 27 years at VES. A presentation was made by Mike Webb

from Webb’s Ford to Charlene Moses and Sheila Doherty of VES for $4,240 towards their Fort McMurray Fundraiser, matching what the School had previously raised.

Students also had the opportunity to thank Fat Cat from the Vermilion Credit Union for supporting AR throughout the year.

The lunch hour featured families gathering for a picnic with their children on the school grounds. Many enjoyed the opportunity to relax with their children outside and visit other families.

The afternoon was full of excitement as Motivational Magician; Steve Harmer put on a show detailing the seven habits of highly effective kids.

Harmer suggested that children form habits to be proactive, have a plan, and work first - then play later. Also, Harmer encouraged children to keep in mind that everyone can win, to listen before they talk, remember that together everyone achieves more, and to find a healthy balance. “Attitude is contagious. Smile a lot!” said Harmer.

Linda Webb Jacobson Scholarship

Marie Conboy Reporter

Two dancers, Sadie Granigan, and Rachel Campbell were both presented scholarships to dance camp, for the value of $150 each, by Jack Jacobson on June 30.

“Linda Webb Jacobson was the energy and force and dedication behind Allied Arts for over 35 years. It continues to exist today because of her efforts for all those years to keep bringing arts and culture to Vermilion.

She and her executive through the years provided the focus and zeal to keep what was started in 1975,” said Vermilion Allied Arts Chair, Keri Pullyblank.

Both dancers, members of the Dance Impressions by Ryan dance school in Vermilion, will attend the dance camp called ‘Summers End Dance Camp.’

Fourteen year old, Rachel Campbell says she is delighted with the scholarship win and that she looks forward to training and preparing for next season.

Vermilion Communities In Bloom Prepares For National Competition

Angela Mouly Reporter

Outdoor enthusiasts are busy in their yards readying the Town of Vermilion for the arrival of the National judges for the 2016 Communities in Bloom Competition.

“We would like to thank the community for their support during the Canada Day Pancake Breakfast at the Fire Hall on June 30,” said Communities in Bloom (CIB) President, Donna Moon.

“We had good weather and a better turnout this year, with approximately 200 people attending. We are grateful for more and more people supporting the Canada Day Pancake Breakfast each year and for all of our volunteers,” said Committee Member Kathy Brady.

The upcoming ‘Garden Party Tour’ in Vermilion will be held on July 13, and begins at the entrance of Young Drive.

Tickets can be purchased at the entrance until the start of the tour. The $10 cost will include refreshments and dessert, and the tour will last from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.

The ‘Garden Party Tour’ is a great way to get outside in the evening and socialize.

“We would like to thank the residents of Young Drive, under the leadership of Vicki McFarlane for opening their yards for the public to view and admire their landscaping techniques this year,” said Moon.

The Vermilion Chapter of CIB had taken the last year off from the National Competition but entered this year as there have been several beautification projects completed within the community. They are really excited about being judged on July 25 against other Canadian communities.

Communit y projects likely to be noticed by the judges include the trees along Railway Avenue and other trees planted during TD Tree Days. They would take in the east end CN project, the new garden near the Hwy 16 overpass, the gardens at Town Hall, the Pomeroy and the College grounds. Also to be noticed would be Vermilion’s mural projects, the outdoor oven, and the pollinator garden

across from the Senior Centre.

“We’d like to thank the community for maintaining a clean and litter – free community with Special thanks to Christopher Fryingpan-Thomas, who has dedicated his Sunday mornings to litter pick-up downtown. We encourage the businesses and residents to keep July 25 in mind for judging and to help us

maybe even win this competition!” said Moon.

The CIB committee consists of only four members, so they would love to hear from anyone interested in joining their small group. You can call 780-549-9572 or search ‘Vermilion Communities in Bloom’ on Facebook or visit http://www. communitiesinbloom.ca to learn more.

Well, it’s official, school is out. Our children are going to be out enjoying their sum m er h o li d ays, and I think we all need to remember to keep a careful eye as we drive around. While we may feel we don’t have to be as cautious in the latter part of the evening we must realize the younger population is out and about until dark.

A couple of weeks back I turned onto my street and spotted three children playing in the street by my house, and while I generally keep my nose to myself, this was one of those times I had to react and take the possible wrath of an angry parent knocking on my door.

ing themselves in a very dangerous situation that went like this. The oldest boy had the middle aged boy in a wheelbarrow which he used to propel the middle age boy into the street, tipping over each time as it bumped off the curb. While the boys were playing their game of let’s see how far I can propel you into the street; a small girl who was approximately 3-years of age had her dolly in a little doll stroller and continuously weaved in and out of the street without checking in either direction for oncoming traffic.

It scared me when I turned onto my street as I wasn’t expecting them to be there. Then I thought about what if I had driven to my house from the other end of the street? There was no doubt in my mind that I would have struck one of the children as there is a turn in the road and I would not have saw them until it was too late.

The point of the story is that we are all conditioned to keep an eye out for the youth of our community during the school year, but we often don’t think of the dangers during the summer months.

Our youth is going to be out on their bikes, skateboards, hover boards, and yes the unexpected items children can conjure up to keep themselves occupied like the wheelbarrow incident, so as drivers we have to be very careful.

As parents, we don’t want to keep our children penned up in the backyard. We want to trust them to take the knowledge we have taught them and use it to keep themselves safe, but let’s face it, children often throw caution to the wind when it comes to having fun.

So let’s make sure we are diligent about keeping our children safe during the summer months as we do during the school year!! We want to keep our summer fun and safe.

was none of my business what someone else’s child was doing and to walk away from the situation, but I couldn’t. I stood looking out the front window of my house and watched as the older boy repeatedly pushed the younger boy into the street and the little girl who continued to zoom in and out of the street pushing her doll in the stroller not looking in either direction. After about 10 minutes the motherly instinct took over, and I walked out of my house to the end of my driveway and calmly spoke with the oldest boy asking him to please not push the younger boy into the street and to please keep the little girl off of the road. Of course, the older boy insisted that they were ok, but I plead my case explaining to them if a car came around that turn there was no way they could stop in time. I know they were disgruntled with being spoken to, but at least they listened to reasoning and discontinued the very dangerous play.

Things are sure green and lush with the mix of sunshine and rain. Walking in woods is like a jungle, I have native grasses that are waist high, and the leaves are full and thick, it’s one of the lushest and greenest years in 20 years.

All the duck ponds and water holes have lots of water also, which my pup Miss Oohohh loves when we go for a walk. It can be deceiving although Miss Oohohh is 25 inches plus at the shoulders already, she can disappear in the grasses.This past weekend I was out walking along and didn’t see her and started calling out for her as I was getting a little concerned, then got startled because she was sitting by my side in the grass looking at me like “why you yelling.”

Unfortunately, with all the lushness and moisture the bugs are thriving, all the standing water is a breeding haven for mosquitoes and other nuisance bugs and insects.The tall grass holds hordes of mosquitoes and just walking through the grass results in clouds of mosquitoes, so proper insect repellant and/or protection are a necessity this summer in the outdoors, of course keeping West Nile virus in mind.

I predict we will see several cases of West Nile virus in Alberta this year, as I have discussed it a great deal over the years, I won’t get into much detail.

However, there is a great website in Canada for details. For a refresher course in risk, symptoms and prevention see the Canadian government website-http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/

Around The Campfire

diseases-conditions-maladiesaffections/ disease-maladie/west-nile-nil-occidental/index-eng.php it has great info.

I felt sorr y for my Miss O ohohh, although she has long fur and inner wool the Nor thern breed is blessed with, she is mostly mosquito proof.

However, her belly, inside legs and face are exposed.I like to have her outdoors as much as possible, so she sleeps in her huge kennel at night until she gets older and wiser, some mornings the top of her nose was swollen with mosquito bites. Concerned and not wanting to spray her with mosquito repellant, I did a little research to see what would be safe to use on a dog or pup, to my surprise and happiness there is just such a thing.

I keep up on all the pups shots, flea, and deworming medicines, and she was topped up on deworming medicine early this spring, safe and effective medicines or treatments have come a long way in past years. We all think of one medicine for worms another for fleas etc., however now they have an amazing multi-treatment that kills fleas and prevents infestations, prevents heartworm disease, treats, and controls adult hookworm, roundworm and whipworm infections, plus protects against ticks. And now much to my relief also acts as a mosquito and black fly repellent; the medicine comes in a vial, and one squirts a little liquid on the skin on shoulder blades and three other spots along the backbone. The next day after treatment on Miss Oohohh, much to my relief and hers she was mosquito free, ama zing stuf f althoug h it ’s a little pricey at $22 and has to be done every month during summer months.

However worth it alone for the mosqui-

toes and worms for an outdoor dog, a bonus is something most don’t also think of here in Alberta is ticks. Local Alberta ticks such as moose ticks and Rocky Mountain Wood Ticks do NOT carry the bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in humans.

A d ow n s i d e to m i l d er w i nter s i s disease carrying insects moving into Alberta from the south and east, many of us suspected the Black-legged tick would make it here, however, if winters stay normal to harsh it’s unlikely they will remain and reproduce.

Still, there are black-legged ticks making their way into Alber ta, and those tested by the Alberta government there were ticks that tested positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is a ver y debilitating disease in humans resulting from the bite of the black-legged tick, and when outdoors one should use protection against the tick as they are usually picked up as they sit on low laying grass, willow lush vegetation.

Since your pets and dogs can get Ly m e d i s e a s e a l s o t h e t r e a t m e n t above will help protect from the Lyme disease-carrying tick. For us humans tight clothing and good ole Deet insect or mosquito repellant works best when outdoors.

have a tick sur veillance program in place now in Alberta, where you can submit a tick if found. Ticks will attach themselves to the skin of an animal or human and can be seen if inspected after outdoor adventures.

At present, us in Alberta have a far better chance of getting ill from common mold indoors or hit by lightning than being bitten by a Lyme disease carrying tick, but the risk is there.

This excellent website by Alber ta Health /Government has details for the tick surveillance program, plus preventive measures, symptoms and other important information regarding ticks and Lyme-http://www.health.alberta. ca/health-info/lyme-disease.html We have many cautions in everyday life; one is more likely to get injured or ill in your own home or on the highways than on outdoor adventures if common sense and a little caution and prevention are used, so get out there… enjoy….its summer!

Ye ar s ag o i n my travels, I went on a little adventure with a trapper friend who lived in the Edson country, he had a truck all rigged up with a sturdy locked cabinet for storing explosives and related accessories needed for blowing up beaver damns and discouraging the beavers from plugging culverts and related problems of flooded pastures and closed roads. The county paid him well for his services and he knew his business. After a stint of several days of taking canoe rides to place the boom makers and giving the beaver a nasty time, I naively asked him why he didn’t just simply trap them out in a systematic way and be done with them. “Are you crazy,” he replied with a chuckle, and “take away all this fun? Why on earth would I do that?

I’d have an expensive truck rigged up with nothing for it to do.”

Well, somehow, I can see several analogies that would fit that scene. Weeds are a problem now like they have since before I can remember, so how come all

Russian centenarians attribute eating beets and borsch regularly, as one of the reasons that they live over a hundred years. The red pigments in beets are known as betalains. Betalains are health promoting and disease fighting. Betalains are anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Betalains

The Science Of Analogy

the research and money put into technology to improve the whole business, we still have weeds and they have developed tolerance to many of the sprays and ever more potent ones are starting to take a toll on our environment and I hear they are killing our bees that help feed us. Think of all the chemistry, equipment and jobs are predicated on weeds. You’d think if we took them seriously they could be eliminated and not be a problem.

It’s not going to happen is it! In the long ago before chemical and sprays, people I think tried to make sure that the roadsides, and waste lands were mowed and the thistles and other weeds were not allowed to seed and scatter.

That doesn’t seem to happen now as we rely more on the chemicals as the farms get larger and larger, the emphasis on sprays has ever increased along with the profits the chemical companies reap. Just think of the calamity that would be fall so many that make a livelihood from manufacturing, selling, applying all that chemical, to say nothing of the king’s ransom that new modern sprayers can cost. Yes, just imagine if there weren’t any weeds to contend with a good segment of agricul-

Beet Pasta Salad

help the body detoxify toxins. To protect the betalains in beets when cooking, keep steaming down to 15 minutes and roasting to an hour or less. You can use 2 cans of canned beets for this recipe, but roasted and cooled beets would be even better. If you are eating gluten free you can use brown rice pasta with excellent results. The beets color the pasta, making this salad various shades of burgundy.

Beets contain natural nitrates, which then convert in the body to nitrate oxide,

ture providers would be hard pressed to make a living. I can still remember when the whole thing started. You’d laugh at the comparison between back then and now!!

Back when I was starting to use anhydrous ammonia I noticed that the green foxtail and wild oats really started to come up so very thick, I wondered if the anhydrous hadn’t broke the dormancy of the seed and get them to germinate. I felt it really cleaned up the field because the damn weeds could be destroyed once they came up, I had the idea that would be an idea to introduce something into the soil so all the dormant seeds would sprout and you could control them. so far it’s never happened and I think that’s why. Those chemical boys need those weeds to SPRAY!! Don’t tell the chemical companies they’re worthless!

For the last several years I have started the day by reading the “Edmonton Sun,” to catch up on all the latest scandals and stories of government waste. Very interesting, and the comments in your letters to the editor, Fascinating!! Really.

which studies have shown relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. Beets also contain the mineral boron, which boosts the production of sex hormones.

The combination of improved blood flow and natural sourced boron found in beets, have earned beets the reputation as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years. Studies have also shown that drinking beet root juice before exercise increases stamina by 16 – 20 percent.

A word of caution, I find that raw beets burn my throat, so before you indulge in guzzling some freshly squeezed raw beet juice, try a small sip first. Unfortunately beets do contain oxalates, and people with a history of kidney or gall bladder stones should talk to their doctor about their beet consumption.

In case you are wondering, the natural nitrates in beets are different than the unhealthy nitrites in hot dogs and processed meat. What a difference one oxygen molecule makes!

The bottom part of a beet is referred to as a beet root. The beet top is also edible and can be boiled like spinach and served with butter, salt, pepper and a squirt of lemon. Beet tops can also be eaten raw as a salad green.

They are an excellent source of lutein with is beneficial for our eye health.

Beet tops have more iron than spinach, as well as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium,

Years ago, when I was operating a little vac truck, I’d get a job servicing the septic system of the half way house north of Frog Lake Store!! Well you know one timew I got done just before noon and went looking for someone to sign my bill.

On a kitchen counter, “ All nice stainless steel,” there were fabulous meals being served in spotless, very, really very nice dining room. The people there looked like they were guest in a fancy hotel. Anyway seems to me those half way houses would be better living conditions then most of us with well paying jobs!! Of course there in a steady stream of the residents that leave for parts unknown, but the whole judicial system runs them through again and again.

Ever notice how many times an alcoholic gets run through the system to return to the same deal even after they commit murders on the road at times, I’m contending the law system is more for keeping the lawyers busy then keeping us taxpayers safe!! We deserve the law to protect us from these types of crime!!

Protecting Yourself Against Fraud

Reporter

Taxpayers should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting personal information, such as, a social insurance number, credit card number, bank account number, or passport number.

These scammers may insist that this personal information is needed so that the ta xpayer can receive a refund or a benefit payment. Some cases of fraudulent communication could also involve threatening or coercive language to scare individuals into paying a fictitious debt to Canada Revenue.

Vermilion H & R Block said that they receive a lot of concerns from clients about “tax scam telephone calls.”

“Young kids all the way through to seniors have been targeted, receiving

the phone calls at least three times a week. I don’t know whether they are just going through the phone book or how they are getting people’s telephone numbers,” said Vermilion’s H & R Block Manager and Senior Bookkeeper, Susan McCafferty.

“People should know that Canada Revenue does not make calls demanding you to pay money or that Canada Revenue never talk about the police.

M c Caf fer t y ad vise d that peo p le ignore the suspicious calls and texts.

“People should always investigate whether they owe money before they commit to paying a debt or call their local accountant to check if there is owed money on their account.

Pay attention to your billing cycle and ask about any missing account statements or suspicious transactions.

You can trust the CRA’s secure online services portal,” said McCafferty.

Vermilion RCMP CPL, Corey Buckingham also cautioned people about

the tax scam calls. “ The Canadian Revenue Agency wo n’ t c all you, t hey will sen d you letters. The other thing people can do if a telephone number comes up, is to call the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre and report it to them, otherwise just ignore the calls,” advised Vermilion RCMP CPL, Corey Buckingham.

“We find that it comes in waves, it seems like these people are going through areas at one time.

The CRA will not do the following: send email with a link and ask you to divulge personal or financial information,” added CPL Buckingham.

Protect your social insurance number. Don’t use it as a piece of ID and never reveal it to anyone unless you are certain the person asking for it is legally entitled to that information.

If an organization asks for your social insurance number, ask if it is legally required to collect it, and if not, offer Photo supplied other forms of ID.

Clandonald School Celebrates Hot Lunch Partnerships

Geralyn McCormack Submitted

Twelve years ago Clandonald School principal, Real Hyrhirchuk, approached the Clandonald Seniors’ ladies and asked if they would be interested in providing a hot lunch once a month to the students and staff. The ladies agreed, and since that time, the “Hot Ladies” (affectionately named by the littlest students) have been providing the absolute favourite menu— perogies, ham, veggies, Caesar salad, juice, many choices of dessert and, the best part, the TLC and love of these very special seniors. On Friday, June 3, the Grade 12 alumni from Clandonald School attended the school’s hot lunch, rekindling their memories of these exceptional “firstFriday of the month” meals from Grade 1.

Ten days later, the Seniors’ ladies were treated to fine dining provided by the Grade 4 to 6 Cooking Club. The lunch

was excellent, but perhaps even more enjoyable, were the conversations and interactions between the “Hot Ladies” and the students. A good time was had by all!

For two years, the Seniors’ ladies provided the only hot lunch at Clandonald School, which was once a month.

Then Mrs. Jaremco and her staff at Mrs. J’s Catering began sharing their talents by providing hot lunches once a week for the other three weeks each month. Mrs. Jaremco’s team continues to provide this service to the staff and students at Clandonald School, with parent and community volunteers picking up the lunches at the shop and delivering them to the school.

This past year was the tenth anniversary of Mrs. J’s amazing partnership with our school. We appreciate her, her staff, and the generous volunteers who make our weekly hot lunches possible.

This is your month to keep a low profile because your personal year is coming to an end. Ideally, you can use the next four weeks to strategize and plan what you want your new year to be all about. It's going to be an excellent year for Leos.

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

This is a busy, on-the-go week; and this pace will continue for the next month. Yes, you have things to do, places to go and people to see!

Fortunately, your communications with others are sweet and diplomatic.

The Full Moon on Monday might be difficult, especially in your closest relationships.

Not only will the Full Moon in Sagittarius create some tension; but in addition, Mercury in your sign will oppose Saturn in Sagittarius. This means you have to be diplomatic on Sunday/Monday.

The Sun is in your sign for the next four weeks boosting your energy for the rest of the year! Plus it will attract important people and favourable circumstances to you.

Yay me! The next month is an excellent time to buy wardrobe goodies.

Virgo

Libra

Scorpio

You are now entering a month that is more popular!

Many of you will join classes, clubs and organizations and be involved with friends and social situations. Not only are your relations with others pleasant and friendly; for some, a friend could become a lover.

The Sun is at the top of your chart for four weeks. This is the only time all year this occurs; and it means that you will be high viz.!

(Especially with bosses.) Plus (it's magic) you will look good to them! Obviously, this gives you an advantage.

"Hit the road, Jack." The next four weeks are the perfect time to travel for pleasure. If you can get outta Dodge - do it because you want to expand your world and your experience of life. If you can't travel, you can travel through books and film. Sign up for a course.

Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

In the next four weeks, you are into financial matters, inheritances, taxes, debt, insurance issues plus gifts, goodies and favours from others. That's because there is a strong focus in your chart on the wealth and resources of others as opposed to your own earnings.

In the next four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign.

Because the Sun is your source of energy (symbolically) this means you will be more tired than usual.

Therefore, you must respect your need for more sleep and rest. (Go to bed.)

Oh joy! It's fun city for Vacations, romance and fun times have given you Pisces! This week you enter a month-long window much pleasure recently.

However, now it's time to that promotes parties, roll up your sleeves and get vacations, romance, love affairs, exciting sports, the back to work. (Late Aquarians are probably still arts, musical performances and playful activities with having fun in the Sun.) Basically, you want to feel children. Yes - all the fun stuff! that your life is running more efficiently.

Junior Pole Bending Clinic Children bounded between the poles as they learned and improved their skills at the Junior Pole Bending Clinic at the Lakeland College Riding Arena on June 26.

Children learned correct horsemanship and practiced neck reigning and leg commands as they weaved between the poles. Pole bending is an event timed to 1000th of a second, so children were encouraged to remain in control of their horse while increasing their speed each run.

“Children and horses have to work as a team and the more time they spend in the arena, the more comfortable they are getting. We see great improvements, and fun and safety are always a high priority,” said Instructor Rebecca Beebe.

G r a d e 2 students had a great time at the Provinc ial Park on June 22. They star ted out by walking around the park and exploring the trout pond.

Students enjoyed their lunches in the shade before heading off to play in the Splash Park and playground for the afternoon. Fun was had by all.

The Grade 6 students also took a trip to the Provincial Park on June 22.

They spent the day celebrating the end of PATs by playing capture the flag and other outdoor games. It was nice for them to spend a fun day together before they say goodbye and head off to Grade 7. The day ended with a quick stop at the splash park to cool off before heading back to VES. On June 22 and 23, we had our Kindergar ten Graduation. For t y bright smiling faces per formed six songs, some that were new for the per formance and some old favourites from throughout the year. Each kindergarten student was presented with a certificate while Mrs. Heinrich told what each student wanted to be when they grew up. The ceremony concluded with a potluck lunch and some visiting with our new graduates.

The Grade 3 students went to the Provincial Park on June 23. They did a nature walk where they found objects that star ted with each letter of the alphabet. They did leaf rubbings and then observed many varieties of wildlife in the water and surrounding area.

Students drew what they obser ved in the water.They had a wiener and m a r s h m a l l ow s r o a s te d , a n d t h e n spent the rest of the afternoon at the spray park.

Carrie Krips Submitted

On June 25 & 26, Vermilion U14 Shadows hosted the Final League tournament with all 8 teams attending from the League. Vermilion lost their first game, but fought back hard to win their next 3 games to take them to the semi final game! Girls played well, but couldn’t quite get the win, and placed 3rd in the league! Great job Shadows!

Volunteers from Habitat for Humanity were also around all weekend working the booth, with all proceeds being donated back to them! Vermilion Minor Ball was happy to present them with an
