The annual Vermilion Fair showed that it was still going strong after 110 years. The spirit of summer was all around as children and families explored the Fair’s many activities and events last week. “The first two days of the Fair were dry and everyone enjoyed the glorious sun. Despite the third day being very wet; it didn’t dampen the spirit of fairgoers,” said Tyler Moses, president of the Vermilion Agricultural Society. “The Vermilion Fair has a strong tradition of people wanting to attend. We have had another great attendance again this year. Everything has run smoothly and the volunteers have done a wonderful job as usual. The local businesses and the community have really stepped up with their support and sponsorship, along with the use of their equipment, and they would be down here at the drop of the hat to fix a burnt out light or clear the race track,” said Moses. The festivities began Thursday morning with two pancake breakfasts located at the Legion and Vermilion Chrysler beginning at 7 a.m. Following the breakfasts was the annual parade, which stretched the length of the town, from east to west. Some of the longest-running events,

including the pony chuckwagons and pony up parking and camping spots. The Ag Socichariot races, were big attractions. Between ety, consisting of 30 committees, dealt with the driver and the ground of a chariot, there each aspect of the Fair as well as clean-up is not much keeping the driver in the chariot, afterwards. except the level of skill and bravado that each Capping it all off was the vibrant fireworks driver possess. display on the last night, July 30. Heav y horse hitches performed for the crowds in front of a packed to capacity grandstand every evening. The trade booths hosted a wide variet y of businesses, who travelled from near and far, to display their products and talk with customers. Many families found a new pet to take home at O ld M ac Don ald’s Barn and West Coast Amusements provid e d entertainment including rides, games and prizes. The Vermilion Agricultural Grounds were littered with volunteers over the three days. Volunteers worked tirelessly in the lead up to the Fair, making sure Vermilion Voices’ Jeff Myles transforms into an earlier era who is that the area was ready, collecting the scoop as they travel through Main Street during the painting barrels, setting 110th Vermilion Parade.

Prices Skyrocket For Young Sheep And Lamb Producers

Ag Society Sheep Barn on July 26 hit record highs, with the highest sale price of $630 and the lowest sale price of $350. The prices reflected the current increase in lamb market prices. “The quality of the sheep and lambs, from top to bottom, has been better this year than previous years,” said 4-H .33 Assistant Leader Blair Dow. “I think the young producers are spending more time with their lambs and paying more attention to nutrition. They are doing a better job of preparing the animals when they get to the show.” S e c o n d ye a r C l e ave r, M a d i s o n Vermilion, AB Ferguson, showed her 1-year-old lamb (780) 853-5530 this year. Marie Conboy Ferguson said that she has learned a Reporter lot about sheep over the last three years Prices at the annual 4-H Achievement with the Sheep Club.

than last year, after feeding her lamb “a bucket of barley every day all year to get that nice meat finish.” “Last year I sold my lamb for $349. This year I’m hoping for a higher price,” said Ferguson. T h e yo u n g p r o d u c e r s s p e n t 4 5 minutes grooming and clipping each sheep and lamb before they showed off their skills and knowledge in livestock health, livestock nutrition, animal behavior and animal handling in the show ring. 4-H Assistant Leader, Dow said that he can see the Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club growing in the future. “Most children see their sheep/lambs as a meat animal and they realize from the start that this is going to be meat and they are okay with that,” explained Dow.

“The overall turn out of community support was good. You have to give all the kids credit, they did a phenomenal job. Raising sheep and goats is a yearround responsibility. It’s much more than simply showing up and leading your sheep or goat into the show ring,” said Goat Show and Showmanship Judge, Jim Storch, who is a former director with the Canadian Boer Goat Association. The Grand Champion Market Lamb was awarded to Kaylie Krys. The Reserve Champion Market Lamb was awarded to Ashley Corbiere, who also took home Grand Champion for Market Goat and the Reserve Champion Market Goat was awarded to Courtney Corbiere. The average sale price per sheep was $522.89 and the average sale price per goat sold for $402.50.

Honouring A Friend

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

A flash mob of approximately 35 people gathered outside the house of Christopher Fryingpan -Thomas on July 29. Christopher, a young man, known throughout the community was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. During his short illness, Christopher had said that he missed his friends, so the flash mob event was planned to give him his wish to see his friends. Christopher watched through his living room window as songs like ‘You Are My Sunshine’, ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’, She’ll Be Coming Around The Mountain’,

‘Skinamarinky Dinky Dink’ and ‘Four Strong Winds’ were sung by friends. They also sang ‘Happy Birthday’ as Christopher’s birthday would have been in August. Christopher stayed true to his personality before his illness as he waved to gatherers and smiled his quirky little smile. Once the singing was complete he requested to be given the microphone so he could say Thank you. Before departing the gathering Christopher’s friends released balloons in his honour that floated high in the sky as Christopher watched on. Christopher left to join the balloons in the sky the next morning on July 30. Friends of Christopher Fryingpan - Thomas participated in a Flash Mob outside his house to pay tribute to the young man.

National Judges Tour Vermilion

Vermilion Communities In Bloom (CIB) welcomed National Judges Ted Zarudny and Larry Hall to tour Vermilion on July 25. With roughly 58 communities being judged in different sized classes across the country, Vermilion sits in a category of six communities. Competitors in this category include those from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Judges noted that they don’t just look at flowers; they also visit Heritage sites along with lagoons and landfill sites to see what communities are doing environmentally. Judging has changed weights in certain evaluating areas including historical culture and natural culture which have been separated into two new categories. The grid total is 1000 points with 20 points being the most in any category. “We are all very proud of our community, making this one of the highlights of our year. It is our reward for the judges to come to Vermilion,” said Donna Moon, Vermilion CIB Chair.

After spending a full day observing a community, the judges take a minimum of 12 hours to deliberate scoring. With categories ranging from tidiness, to environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape, and floral displays, it can take a lot of work for a community to attain a gold standard. Zarudny added that when judging as a volunteer, they get to see the best of every community, and can take those ideas to make suggestions for other communities where improvements are needed “It is these kinds of positive changes within a community that can attract future businesses by making an ideal community for them to live and work,” said National CIB Judge, Larry Hall. After having taken the last year off from the National Competition, the Vermilion CIB, which is made up of only five members, was pleased to enter after having completed many volunteer works within the community. When entering Vermilion, judges noted that it was very pleasing to the eyes. They took note of the hanging baskets and flower beds by individual businesses downtown,

& Silent Auction

the gateway to the East End Business Park, the Lakeland College grounds, and the cenotaph area. They were also impressed with the finish of the downtown buildings and were able to tell that improvements have been made in order to maintain them. Other stops on the tour included tasting cinnamon buns at the community cookhouse, the Provincial Park, cemetery, dog park, curling rink, community gardens, and the neighbourhood library located on Main street. “I’ve seen cookhouses like the one in

Vermilion in other smaller communities before, but none done as well as this one,” said Larry Hall, CIB Judge of the community oven located at the Vermilion Heritage Park. The Vermilion CIB Committee plans to attend the CIB National Symposium held in Regina from October 27 - 29 where both National and International awards will be given out.

Grain Grading

Angela Mouly Reporter

A large crowd of between 550 and 575 hungry supporters attended the Pancake Breakfast at Fountain Tire in Vermilion on July 29. The sun was shining as everyone enjoyed breakfast outside, before heading off to the Fair. All proceeds were donated to the Vermilion Outdoor Rink Project.

Throngs of grain growers gathered at Lakeland College passing between sessions on July 26 for the Making The Grade seminar. Grain grading professionals from across the prairies met to inform growers about proper grading techniques, of their options in getting their grain graded, and given tips on what they can do at home to get the best seeds. Wheat, barley, canola, and pulses were examined and graded during the hands on sessions. Participants were encouraged to ask questions and gain the most knowledge out of each session. “It is good to know the final destination for your product and what desiccants not

to use. It only takes one seed to spoil the bunch,” said Nevin Rosaasen from Alberta Pulse Growers. During the pulse session, Canadian standard, cracked, mixed colour, and bleached peas were examined. It was noted that storage, weather conditions, disease, and inaccurate samples can all play a part in the grading of grain. With wrinkled pulses, both sides are examined and with spotted discrepancies, they are cut open to identify whether they have permeated the shell coating. “There is no institution that teaches grain grading. You have to train each individual,” said Larry Michta from SPS in Saskatoon. The wheat session offered simple tips to get cereal grains ready for export. Samples

were viewed and then discussed as to how factors could influence farmers. Mystery samples were provided under the makeshift light meters for participants to test their own grain grading skills. Tips offered during the canola session included making sure seeding depth is correct and possibility of increasing nitrogen and subsequently sulphur to increase canola yields. Keith Gabert of the Canola Council of Canada recommended starting harvest at 60% seed colour change. Judy Elias from the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) followed with a presentation on how different sieves can yield different grading results. “Grain grading is seller beware. There are no standards to what sieves compa-

nies use to do their grading. If not hauling their own grain, farmers can run into issues getting proper grading,” said Elias. It was recommended that grain growers take accurate samples and send to multiple elevators. With any discrepancies or dissatisfaction, they were recommended to send a sample to the CGC to be graded. Also mentioned was the Harvest Sample Program that can allow for up to eight free unofficial grades to help the producer know what they have, and the commission do research on crops across the prairies. “I think the grain commission is underutilized,” said Ryan Denis who attended from Beaver County, Alberta.

A Special Tribute, To A Special Person

Editor

Last week I received disheartening news that brought sadness into my world. I know readers are expecting me to write about the Fair or a more upbeat topic, but I have this feeling that is pushing me to pay tribute to a very special person in our community. I will not use names. I am sure anyone who reads this and knows this special young man will know and echo my thoughts on just how special he was to our community. Almost every day we had two special visitors stop by our office. Each time I saw them coming for a visit, no matter how I felt, the presence of each of them always brought a smile. The last couple weeks I hadn’t received the visits and was starting to wonder where they were. I thought they must have gone on holidays until a lady stopped by the office and informed us of the heartbreaking news. When the words came from her lips, I sat there momentarily in complete shock. I thought to myself “no it can’t be him.” I think It was a form of denial on my

part, but reality sunk in quickly that yes it was you. Since I heard of your illness, I have replayed the last time I saw you out and about over and over in my mind. Thinking how, how can this happen in such a short period? You looked perfectly fine, with your handsome smile and rosy cheeks the last time I saw you. I think I am still in shock and do not want to accept the loss. So here goes sweet boy. I have not known you personally as long as many people in our community, but how long you know someone is never the point. It is the effect they make in someone’s life that makes a difference, and you have certainly affected my life. I met you when I started working here at the Voice almost three years ago when your Mom brought you and your brother to our office for a visit. Even though you were the quiet one of the two, your bright, shining aura filled the room. Your quietness made it harder to relate to you and sometimes I almost had to haul a word out of you, but when you did want to chat you were good at it. I will always remember your smile and the sound of your voice saying “Hi” the second you saw me, or when you came to fetch your brother after he spent longer

visiting then he was supposed to. This happy voice would say “S” come on we got to go.” I will always remember the times you waved so happily when you saw me walking down the street. I don’t remember a time you were ever in a bad mood. We should all learn from your example. I will always remember sitting at the office and watching you pass by on your scooter and the smile it brought me. I would watch you clean the street downtown with your Moms help; many times unbeknownst to you. It often made me think what a great young man you were! My kids are perfectly fine, but I wouldn’t see them out there on a Sunday morning helping to keep our town clean. You had obstacles in your life that you didn’t deserve, but you never let it slow you down, and that is something I admired. I will always remember the trinkets you would make and bring to us. I still have the two ornaments you made for me the last two Christmases. The cookies you made were delicious, and I enjoyed each one of them. I even ate the ones the other staff members didn’t eat. I will always remember you coming out to the office each time you had a special occasion being held next door; you would

Vermilion’s Biz Kid

Encouraged by his parents, 11 - year old Nathan James of Vermilion has started his own business, called the Icycle Bicycle. James began operating his business on June 30 after taking three required courses with Community Futures on business planning, marketing, and bookkeeping. The Biz Kids program put on by Community Futures Lloydminster and Region then provides $100 government seed money and James saved to purchase the equipment needed. James can now be seen biking around Vermilion, selling several kinds of ice cream treats to the community. He checks the

weather before heading out, prepares ice packs to keep the treats cool, and does all of his own inventory. “I knew there would be work involved, but I like biking, and people are always excited to get ice cream treats,” said James. James added that he sometimes uses a trailer to frequent other ends of town, but that one time he biked all the way back. He plans to keep the business going for a long time, so he is putting the proceeds back into buying more products and keeping the bike going. Participants of the Biz Kids program are paired with business mentors from the community. James recently entered a busi-

come busting through the door telling us to come for cake. I will always remember how thankful you were for every little thing. A Halloween treat bag made you smile, and you would always say thank you. You may not have understood the impact you made in a person’s life, but I do. Just sitting here writing this brings a smile each time I remember the little things you did. Your heart was pure and unique. You were a gentle soul of little words, but the look in your eyes could tell a complete story. Thank you for being you and being the very special person you were. Our community benefited greatly by having you in it. The memories you have given will never be forgotten. Fly with the angels sweetheart. I ask anyone who knew this young man to symbolically put your arms around his family and show them the love he showed for our community. xo

H ow m a ny t i m e s when we casually say goodbye to someone, do we really ever think we perhaps may never s e e t h e m ag a i n!! I suppose if we really thought it would be for the last time, wouldn’t we really shake their hand and tell them how good it had been to see and talk to them and really in some way let them know how much their being a friend meant to you. I don’t guess we do, do we!! So many times in our lives we come to the place where something or someone is no longer going to be there, and we have to say “Goodbye!” I remember saying that to Uncle Fred, who had sold me his beloved farm that included land he had homesteaded when he was just a lad. He’s had surgery and wasn’t going to survive!! Then the sad time about 20 years later, I remember saying “Goodbye to my “Kule Vue Ranch” when I had to sell it when my marriage ended.

Then my favourite Uncle Herman on his hospital bed, my Dad, who was my hero and mentor. Yes, goodbyes are really hard. I remember saying “Goodbye” to my little daughter April when we parted and were just leaving to go to her sister’s gift opening the day after her sister’s wedding. April never got there!! That last “Goodbye” is something I will never forget!! My friend Philip Taylor, who was a friend who was there in my hardest times to encourage me and give me hope, was tragically injured in an accident and left a quadriplegic. It was so hard to visit my vital, energetic friend and know he’d never walk again. The last time we said ‘Goodbye’ was about a week before he passed. Yes, you can never know when the ‘Goodbye’ you say maybe the last!! My dear big brother was in palliative care and losing the battle with kidney disease, was so hard to say Goodbye to, when I thought back at how close we had been and how hard it would be without him,

yes!! Like so many times in life really memorable things happen so unexpectantly and change your life. A life changer was meeting Brian, who was a pastor in the Seven Day Adventist Church, he was also a very talented guitar player. Soon after we met, he talked me into joining a tent crusade and encouraged me to bring my harmonica and voice along. Wow!! that was the paramount part of my life. I met people from so many parts of the province, and we were treated like celebrities. Brian’s magnetic personality brought out the best in all of us, and what a privilege it was to be there in that company. We played together over the years every chance we got and further to that we understood the hurts that had weighted both of us down. His the trials of his profession, mine the grief and loss I seemed to be encountering. Then one day he phoned to tell me he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. In so very short time, Brian left us and took all that beautiful talent with him. Goodbyes aren’t nice!! But you know folks don’t have to pass away to be lost, there are ways that the dreaded

It also insulates in the blocking out of cold in the winter, so it helps save both heating and air conditioning costs. A blackout roller blind will give you total privacy, and keep the sun out at 4:30 a.m. There are now roller blinds that are made out of screen weave. This fabric

If is important to protect your furniture, flooring and fabrics from the damaging UV rays, and screen weave c an h e l p wit h t hi s. S c re e n weave roller blinds are not recommended for bedrooms, because when it is dark outside, and the lights are on in the bedroom, it would be possible to see movement in the room from the outside. Roller blinds can come with a matching valance, much like the valence on vertical blinds or encased in a metal fascia to create a finished look. Other ways or having a finished look is to have the roller blind reversed rolled so that you do not see the roller side. It then becomes like a built-in valance, when rolled to about 10 inches, which looks great finished with drapery side panels. If you are sensitive to light, it is good to know that there is light leakage of about 3/4 of an inch on both sides of a roller blind. This light gap is there because of the mechanisms. To compensate for this, you can use drapery side panels to not only finish the look but to also cover the light gap. To add style to your interior decor, roller blinds now also come in various textiles, both plain and patterned that look like actual fabric. There are even ones that have murals on them. The bottom hem bar can be wrapped in the same fabric or be made of metal to match the metal fascia. They can also be motorized with a tube contain-

Alzheimer’s disease can take someone out of your life and be lost to themselves too. You see evidence all around of these happenings, and there seems no answer to the problem that is becoming almost epidemic. In my life, I have been so often given the real honour of singing for loved ones at a funeral, and I’m so deeply moved by that as folks are saying goodbye to someone who was so really close in their lives. But I’m finding it a real challenge to know someone you really love is still alive and not able to function on their own any longer. So often when I think of their situation, I feel just passing away would be a blessing to them!! So as I get older for one reason or another, so many of my friends and family have gone on before, and I seem to be saying ‘Goodbye’ more and more and realize that it’s harvest time for us seniors. The older we get, the more we realize that growing old is a rare gift, and we need to share our experience with those who still hope to have a long trail to travel and time to travel it, and hopefully not have too many trials along the way!!

ing six lithium batteries and a remote controller. There are some things in life in which it pays to buy quality, and roller blinds are one of them. I learned this lesson the hard way. When I was a lot younger and needed some blinds for my house, I thought I would just order several of them from the catalog. They were reasonably priced and looked nice in the photo. They installed well and worked well.... for about six months. In fact, in about six months, only one of the four still worked. In the end, I had wasted my money instead of making a good investment. When I first started my business, the first blind I ordered was a Canadian made roller blind for my bedroom. I wanted to learn how to install it before I went out to do it for other people. It was then that I saw the difference in quality, everything was different. The fabric was much thicker, and it laid flat. There was no spring to break down. Instead it was a clutch mechanism, with a beaded chain that raised and lowered the blind. Even the mounting hardware was a noticeable better quality. I have had that blind for 28 years, and it still works and looks like brand new. But what I love about it the most is how it keeps the room cooler and the light out in the wee hours of the morning. It’s times like this....that make my roller blind one of my favorite summer possessions. Sunshine, full moons and heat solved, now if only I can get the coyotes and our dog to stop howling and barking at night, but that my friend is another story.

PROTECTING ALBERTANS AGAINST UNFAIR POWER BILLS The Government of Alberta is going to court to protect Albertans from being forced to pay for the business losses of five power companies. The companies are trying to offload their losses onto Albertans because of a deal made between the former government and Enron, a discredited and now-bankrupt U.S. electricity operator. Albertans shouldn’t have to pay for the losses of electricity companies. This ‘Enron clause’ was never raised during months of public hearings that 16075DE0 were supposed to ensure Albertans got a fair deal as their electricity system was deregulated. And, there is evidence the Enron clause was enacted unlawfully by the previous government and then deliberately withheld from the public. The Government is asking the court to overturn the Enron clause and protect Albertans against an estimated $2 billion in business losses over the next four years. If successful, any additional electricity fees charged to the public due to the Enron clause will be refunded back to Albertans. Albertans shouldn’t be on the hook for a backroom deal that allows companies to collect the profits when power prices are high and hand consumers the losses when prices are low. That’s why the Government of Alberta is taking legal action – to protect Albertans. Learn more at powerpurchase.alberta.ca

The Wright family returned to the Vermilion Fair along their tour with the Alberta Professional Chuckwagon and Chariot Association.

all ages. It’s the one spot we can’t wait to come back to,” said Todd Wright. While the Wright family have racing in their blood, they believe to have a relative connection to Vermilion through Todd’s Great Grandfather Arthur Silas Wright who lived here in the late 30’s and early 40’s. With brother and sister both racing chariots this year, there was an in house competition going on as well as the one against the other competitors. They

helped each other get ready to go and supported one another, but enjoyed the sibling rivalry. Casey (16) and his sister Emily (18 – year – old rookie driver) raced in Vermilion carrying on family traditions. Their father Todd races chuckwagons and Todd’s grandfather, Artie Wright raced for 30 years. “Chariot racing is what I love to do. You can’t beat revolving your life around horses,” said Emily Wright.

Todd mentioned that the family has been preparing by training horses from the time there was snow on the ground, and family members have taken turns with chores and continue to utilize one another’s strengths. “Casey is better with running the feeding program, while Emily works really well with the horses,” said Todd about his children’s strengths. He added that another perk to racing is the chuckwagon family that they have acquired.

O n J u l y 28 t h e 110 t h Ver m ili o n Parade entrants could be seen wiping sweat from their brows as they waited for judges to view all the entries under sunny skies and blazing temperatures. Once the prize placing was presented to each winner, the parade began on schedule at 11 a.m. The parade route was jam packed with attendees of all ages eagerly awaiting the arrival of floats, bands, decorated cars, antiques, horse-drawn wagons and several fictional characters. While the parade entries were down by five from last year, the 110th Vermilion Parade was still a huge success with 140 entries.

passed by. The Vermilion Voice Newspaper who won 1st place in the Commercial category said they spent many tiring hours building their float which depicted the ‘Then and Now’ of journalism. Vermilion Voice Publisher Sue Chikie said they all brainstormed their idea and changed direction a couple of times. “When we originally heard the theme was ‘Then and Now’ our initial thought was to do the Dr. Bell building and our current office but in a matter of minutes we c h a n g e d o u r m i n d s . T h e n we thought about Montes Menswear and said nope that isn’t it either” said Chikie. “Russ Cameron stopped by the office the same day, and we were chatting up a storm about our ideas and all of a sudden Lorna and Jeff, looked at each other at the same moment and said old time reporters vs. present day report-

ers! And poof our float idea was born. Lorna went on to say that there were times throughout the process where she doubted the idea and wondered if people would get what they were trying to portray, but said luckily with a lot of help and product contributions from businesses within the community they were able to pull it all together. “It was a lot of hard work, weeks of painting the front of the building, making the signs and thinking of the layout after work hours, but it was a team building exercise for our office, and it certainly helped build team spirit,” said Lorna. “We would like to thank Russ Cameron for making the trailer arrangements for our float and Gilbert Roofing for letting us use their trailer. The Vermilion Heritage Museum was very generous and trusting in allowing us to use the old typewriter, old telephone, and camera

along with the awesome poster of Main street past and present and Hilda Bell for the Fedora hat. We are very grateful to them all,” said Chikie. Chikie went on to add that the parade looked pretty amazing from what she could see. “All the entries looked really good. Of course being in the parade, you miss a lot of it but from the pictures I have seen and the cheers of the crowds as floats passed by certainly gives the impression of a great success again this year. Bravo to everyone involved.” said Chikie. Most parade-goers said the parade was awesome as always, while the main complaint to be heard by many was that the parade was too quiet, that it needed more volume as the music draws your attention in the direction of the float before you even see them.

Lakeland Rowing Club To Host Alumni Rowers For Twentieth Anniversary

Submitted

In 1996 a group including Les Parsons, Darlene Haverslew (Dary), Wayne Campbell, Les Parsons, Janos Dvorzsak, Todd Ree, and Peter Walsh met at the CN Train Station and formed the Lakeland Rowing Club. There have been rowing shells gliding up and down the beautiful Vermilion River reservoir ever since. The Club started off with two old boats stored in stretchers by the bird blind. In 1998 the Club boats moved to the open grass field next to the boat house, and in 2000 moved to their current location. As the club grew, they added a shed in 2003 to house equipment. 2004 saw the purchase of the Club’s first “new to them” boat; a double named after Janos Dvorsz-

Angela Mouly

sak. In 2006 the brand new T-Rex was purchased, named after Rex Cunningham. A second oar shed followed in 2008. The hail storm of 2010 ruined many of the club’s boats; however it was a blessing in disguise as the insurance pay out combined with a donation from the Lakeland College enabled the club to purchase 3 new boats: The T- Ree, named after Todd Ree, Lacer the Racer, named after Lacey Longworth, and the Rustler I. In 2014 after many years of fundraising, the new boathouse was built, providing year round protection for the Club’s boats. LRC raced for the first time in 1998 at the Edmonton Rowing Club’s Corporate Challenge, and won. In the fall the Lakeland College crew won for the first time in the men’s coxed four, and the club sent

a crew to the Gorge Head Race in Victoria. In 1999 Lakeland Rowing Club hosted their own Corporate Challenge with proceeds benefitting the Vermilion Health Center. Eight teams from the community competed, with a team from the hospital winning out. By 2000, the college crew was doing the regular circuit in the fall, including Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Calgary regattas. Fast forward to 2016. The Lakeland College Rustler crews have a strong reputation, consistently medaling against novice crews from larger schools such as the University of Alberta, Calgary, and British Columbia. The summer Club members are on the water 5-7 times a week, and this year had seven crew members compete in 12 events at

13

the Canadian Masters Championship Regatta, medaling in four events. The Club hosts an annual Development Camp that sees rowers from all across Alberta coming to row at our facility. 2016 will also see the triannual Head of Vermilion regatta on September 24, with University and Masters crews competing to win a coveted trophy. Lakeland Rowing Club truly appreciates everything that its past and current members have done to promote and further the club. On August 6 the Club will be hosting an Alumni Appreciation Day in honor of their twentieth anniversary, open to all past and current members of the varsity and summer Clubcrews.

Folk Music Swells The Countryside

Angela Mouly Reporter

A group gathered to soak in Vermilion Folk Club entertainment by Kristi Rose and Fats Kaplin at the Bowtell Hall on July 25. Though Kaplin was raised in New York City, and Rose in Southern Illinois, both found connections to the Bowtell Hall country setting that they appreciated. “They are big enough performers we would never get the opportunity with one of our regular shows so we are grateful they chose to stop here for one our summer shows,” said Rod MacMillan with the Vermilion Folk Club. Kaplin played on several instruments

while Rose sang eclectic songs like ‘How Many Chances Does One Man Get,’ and a swing song called ’Rise And Shine.’ People tapped their fingers and toes along while enjoying the sunny evening. Rose’ was thrilled to be in Alberta for her first time as she felt a special connection with her mother having been born in Calgary and raised in Winnipeg. She also planned on sending pictures of all of the beautiful nearby canola fields to her farming relatives in Illinois and noted that her father had attended and one room school smaller than Bowtell Hall. Kaplin had travelled Alberta several times in tours with previous bands, and noted appreciation

of the vast views. “We like being out here. Getting to go places and meet people is a real perk,” said Kaplin of the travel involved in his longstanding career in the music industry. Kaplin went on to say that his mother had once said, ‘You can’t teach yourself that; you have to be born into music like that,’ when he was a young boy following other big names on the east coast music scene, but he did work his way up being self taught. Kaplin played an upbeat fiddle song, ‘Wolves A Howling’ and Rose projected her large range full voice into the countryside during a cover of Patsy Cline’s ‘She’s Got You’. Rose started writing songs at a young age and has developed her theatrical deliverance. Both husband and wife members complemented one another well in their artistry and as they impro-

vised their interactions with the audience. For more information on Kaplin and Rose, you can visit www.pulpcountry. com. For upcoming Vermilion Folk Club events, you can search Vermilion Folk Club on Facebook.

In the next month, you will be motivated to earn more money because you have specific ideas about what you want. Fortunately, financial negotiations will be favoured. The only downside is if you have a beer wallet, you will have champagne tastes! Ah yes, your purchases will be lavish.

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

The next month will be promising for you because Mars will hype your sex drive and Venus will bring you lots of opportunities for romance, fun, pleasure, parties and vacations. An interesting combination! Be open to exploring opportunities for creative self-expression.

For the next two months, fiery Mars will be opposite your sign. There is no way to sugarcoat this. It generally indicates tension in your life, especially with close friends and partners. This makes your interactions with others mutually pushy and assertive.

Virgo

Libra

You will accomplish an enormous amount during the next two months because Mars will not only help you work, it will motivate you to work! For starters, it will give you pride in whatever you accomplish. It will also boost your energy so that you can work hard.

As both Venus and Mars change signs this week, they bring good news and bad news for Virgo. Let's go for the bad news first. For some reason, in the next two months, your home scene will become chaotic and insane because of increased activity. This could be due to renovations, or redecorating.

When Venus and Mars change signs this week, they introduce an unusual and contradictory influence to your life. Fair Venus will be hiding in your chart, which means you will welcome opportunities to retire from the busyness of everything around you so that you can enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings.

4 7 9

Sagittarius

Capricorn

Aquarius

Pisces

Venus at the top of your chart makes you look fabulous to others, especially bosses and VIPs. This is why a romance with a boss might begin. Meanwhile, everyone wants your advice about how to make something look better.

When Venus changes signs this week, it will heighten your appreciation of beauty, especially in the arts. During August, you will adore travel for pleasure. You will also love to see the arts and crafts of other cultures and different countries.

During August, Venus will bring you financial good fortune. This is an excellent time to ask for a loan or mortgage. It's also a good time to ask to borrow anything because others will be generous to you. You might even benefit indirectly through the wealth of your partner.

Like your opposite sign Virgo, the shift of Venus and Mars into new signs is a beneficial thing for you. Fair Venus will be opposite your sign for the next month smoothing all your closest relationships and partnerships.

Scorpio

You have a lot to look forward to because as Venus and Mars shift signs this week, they stimulate both your work sector and your ability to socialize with others for fun. Venus will introduce you into group activities and classes.

August Line Up Ready To Rock At The Root

Reporter

The Root Community Emporium in Lloydminster is set to entertain with a full and exciting line up of musical talent planned for August. Musical act, the Dead South, are set to headline on August 4, followed by West Hammock on August 5, and The Folk Road Show on August 10. The Dead South band entertains wearing their trademark white shirts, black suspenders, black pants and travellers’ hats. They sing lively numbers with a boot-stomping acoustic configuration that includes banjo, mandolin, cello and guitar, some whistles, hoots and hollerin’, and finger snappin’. Sometimes their fans dress up like them too and dance and sing the night away.
