Excitement Soars On First Day Back At School Marie Conboy Reporter

The students of VES arrived back at school to the start of a new school year on September 6. Under a mix of sun, cloud and cool temperatures the atmosphere was filled with excitement and warmth as the children excitedly exited school buses and others were dropped off by their parents. Children were eager to meet up with their friends and fellow students they had studied with the previous years, while some started school for the first time. Sporting new and colourful clothes with a variety of backpacks and new lunch boxes it resembled the walk of a children’s runway show. “What an exciting morning! It’s my favourite time of the year,” said VES Principal Michelle Webb, as she greeted students outside the school and welcomed them back for another year. “Including our kindergarten numbers, there were 47 new students this year,” said Webb. “We are really excited about our goals for this year and we are looking at inquiry based learning, and we are continuing to build relationships with students and staff. Student connectedness is something we are very focused on.” Evan Ferguson was excited on his first day of Grade 1 at VES. Photo Marie Conboy More pictures on page 11.

New General Manager At Eastalta Co-op

Eastalta Co-op welcomed Graham Getz as their new General Manager on August 2. Originally from rural Saskatchewan, Getz appreciates the similarities of the Lakeland area. Raised on a grain farm, and with much business experience, Getz is able to connect with the Eastalta Co-op board, employees, members and community members. Getz spent several years working for Federated Co-op in Saskatoon, and managing the Watrous Co-op and Davidson Co-op. He spent the last few years as the General Manager of the St. Paul and District Co-op; and recently celebrated 20 years of service with Co-op. Getz lives with his wife Camille, son Kelton (13), and daughter Kayla (11) in St. Paul. He will spend two or three days per week at Eastalta locations and the Administration office in Vermilion. “With technology and computers, much can be done between the two Co-ops. To make things run smoothly between all

Eastalta

levels of the 13 Eastalta Co-op locations, and seven St. Paul and District Co-op locations, it’s all about communication,” said Getz. Eastalta Co-op entered into a finance agreement with St. Paul and District Co-op on June 6, allowing for Getz to manage both areas, as well as share Finance Controller Brad Belton. The joint partnership since August 2015 allows for both Co-ops to share Health and Safety Coordinator Eric Kohlman as well. Getz went on to say that the mindset of both Co-op boards are fundamentally the same. They are both community focussed, and share many of the same values keeping employees and Co-op members in focus. “Ultimately, it’s all about the service. We are looking to continue to enhance the Co-op member experience and ensure that it remains consistent and efficient; allowing us to continue to compete in all of the grocery, gas, and building commodities that we offer,” said Getz.

New Doctors – “Not As Busy As They Would Like To Be”

Marie Conboy Reporter

Council members raised the concern that Vermilion’s new doctors at the Midtown Medical Clinic ‘were not as busy as they could be,’ at the Council meeting on September 6. “It has been tricky recently, with all three of the new physicians starting at once. With the college and the schools off on holidays, we felt we would have liked it to have been slightly busier, but I don’t think it ’s going to be an issue in the long run,” said Dr. Gordon McLean, who has been practicing at the Midtown Medical Clinic for the past two years. “I think it is fantastic that we are now able to offer this service to the communit y. With more doctors, we are able to focus more on preventive medicine. We are also considering the option of starting satellite clinics in the surrounding communities. We have spoken with Lakeland College, and there is talk of opening a weekly clinic for the students. We are considering infiltrating more into the nursing homes” added McLean. “Each of the new doctors are committed to four year contracts in Vermilion, which is reassuring. It seems that the general feeling in Alberta is that most physicians are comfortable with a panel of about one thousand patients, it keeps the physicians busy and at the same time, patients can get an appointment” said McLean. Dr. Yuma Salumu, Dr. Ali Alshalchi and Dr. Frans Kruger all began working at the Midtown Medical Clinic earlier this summer. The fourth new doctor, Dr. Andrew Liebenberg, will be joining them at the Clinic within the next few weeks. Manager for the Town of Vermilion, Dion Pollard, who is also on the Physician Committee board with Alber ta Health Ser vices, said that a lot of

clients were previously lost to Lloydminster and Wainwright when Vermilion didn’t have enough do c tor s to supply the people’s needs. “Currently the doctors are looking at reaching out to the surrounding communities, for example Dewberry, to let the people know that there are now new doctors available in Vermilion and that they are all taking new clients” said Pollard.

Dr. Salumu Yuma.

Vermilion Mayor, Bruce MacDuff said that he is satisfied because he no longer has to wait to see a doctor. “ The possibilit y of ex tending the clinic’s opening hours is being looked into. The issue with extending the opening hours is that doctors are already on call ever y night. In the winter time when the children are all back to school and when it gets busier with flues and colds, we

will see more people returning to Midtown Medical Clinic,” said Mayor MacDuff. Pollard said that with the new doctors in Vermilion, there is a need for more equipment. We purchased new equipment to the value of $15,000 and now we have been made aware that we may need to invest more money to update the existing computers,” added Pollard.

Beautiful Blooms

24 HO U R EMERGENCY SERVICE

Olga Dutchak noticed wildly changing colour blooms on her hydrangea plant this year. Having received it for Mother’s Day last year, she got a few blossoms last year, but nothing nearly this impressive. After keeping it in the garage over the winter, this year she set it outside to receive the morning sun and shade in the afternoon.Throughout this summer, it has produced at least six blossoms, each one a foot in diameter. In their different stages, the blossoms turn from green to pink, and back to green again. “In my lifetime, I’ve never seen a flower like that,” said Dutchak. Dutchak has another variety of hydrangea in her yard that she was able to plant outside and have it survive through the winter. This one with the big leaves and delicate petals she plans to give a larger pot but keep it more protected.

Big Change From Brazil To Vermilion

Marie Conboy Reporter

The Vermilion Rotary Club welcomed 17-year-old Gustavo Rattmann to the community at their weekly meeting on September 1. Rattmann, who travelled from his home city of Curitiba in southern Brazil, says he is excited to experience Canadian culture and weather for the first time. “So far I find Vermilion is very different from my city back in Brazil, which has a population of 3 million people. It is very busy with a lot of noise and traffic on the streets. Vermilion is more peaceful with less pollution,” explained Rattmann. “I am looking forward to travelling with my school to play football; I have never played football before because we don’t play football or hockey in Brazil. We don’t have snow in Brazil, it’s very hot there and

the temperatures never drop below zero, even in winter. “I’m actually looking forward to the snow this winter in Canada, I want to feel the cold on my skin so I can experience it,” said Rattmann. The young Brazilian said that he became interested in the Rotary after his brother travelled to Turkey on an exchange in 2013. “After my brother got involved, my mother also joined the Rotary and she put me into ‘Interact’.” ‘Interact’ gives students between the ages of 12-18 the chance to make a difference while having fun. Every ‘Interact’ club carries out two service projects a year: one that helps their school or community and one that promotes international understanding. “I always thought the Rotary did great

work, Exchange is just one side of the Rotary. No matter what country we are from, we respect each other because we are members of the same club.” Rattmann said he felt confident and excited to travel to Vermilion on his first trip outside of South America. “It is my first time travelling so far away from home, but I didn’t feel nervous because after I spoke with my host family on the phone they were kind and I knew it would be okay.”

The young Rotarian said that he finds attending J.R.Robson School “very different so far”. “I used to watch the movie ‘Remember Me’ in Brazil and now I just feel like I am in the movie,” laughed Rattmann. Rat tmann will regular ly present presentations to the Rotary Club during meetings throughout his yearlong stay in Vermilion; updating members on his experiences and what he has learnt along the way.

Lorna Hamilton Editor

Each day when I am out driving in my car, I find driving extremely frustrating. I seldom let things bother me, but I dread having to go anywhere as I find people just do not know the rules of the road, or am I completely daft when it comes to the rules of the road? I do not think it is the latter as I have discussed it with others and they have found the same thing when driving. A four-way stop is just that; a four-way stop and they do have rules. Timing is everything: the first vehicle to come to a complete stop at the intersection has the right-of-way. If two vehicles arrive at the same time and are facing each other, the left-turning vehicle must yield to the oncoming vehicle. If two vehicles arrive at the same time and are perpendicular to each other, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. Nothing drives me crazier than sitting at an intersection waiting for a driver who

I Think I Missed The Memo

doesn’t know the rules of a four-way stop. I have spent numerous times at the fourway stop staring at a driver who either: A) stopped before me and continued to look at me waiting to see which one of us will go first. I eventually wave to them to move through the intersection as they have the right- of- way. B) If both of us arrived there at the same time and I am turning left, again easy to know. The person coming straight through the intersection has the right- of- way. C) If both of us arrive at the intersection at the same time, the driver to my right also has the right- of- way. Secondly, a two-way stop does not have the same rules as a four-way stop but most people seem to think they do. Left-turners must yield to drivers who wish to cross the intersection. If, however, the left turner has started to make the turn and is already in the intersection, the other driver must yield. How many times have I been stopped waiting to turn left and the person across the intersection from me is waiting for me to turn left as I may have been there before them by a matter of seconds. It doesn’t matter who was there first, if you are coming across the inter-

section you have the right- of- way. Drivers who do not understand or know the rules to the road are not only annoying at times but can also be extremely dangerous and cause accidents. I have often begun to proceed through when the person without the right-of-way began to move through as well. Which leads me to my next point. Stop lights. I totally understand people are always in a hurry, but pardon me if I take an extra second or even a couple seconds to be sure someone isn’t going to run a red light before enteri the intersection. I am so sick and tired of getting a horn blown at me because I don’t speed my way into the intersection the second it turns green. I have learned from a pretty serious accident my brother was involved in that it’s in our best interest to take that extra second to take another look left to right. Sixteen years ago my brother was T-boned by a 3/4 tonne truck when the driver ran a red light. After seeing the damage caused to him and his family, you can be guaranteed I will take those couple extra seconds. Seeing my brother who was driving and wearing his seat-

5

belt at the time of impact hanging from the waist down outside my sister-in-laws passenger side window will never be erased from my mind. Watching him lay in a hospital bed while doctors are running around trying to assess all his injuries and not knowing if this is something he will survive is extremely hard on any family. Seeing my niece who was six months old at the time and my sister-in-law with cuts in numerous areas of their bodies is also a image I can’t forget. We picked glass from the three of them for months after that accident. To this day my brother will never be the same due to a brain injury he sustained in that accident. Luckily he can still function normally but does have slight personality changes and has issues with his short term memory. I nearly lost one whole part of my family that day, so sorry if I missed the memo stating that one has to drive like a maniac. If we all learn the rules of the road, especially the rules of controlled and uncontrolled intersections, and slowed down just a tick, maybe intersection accidents can be a thing of the past. And it will absolutely cut down on the middle finger salutes drivers receive.

Warm rays of sunlight broke thru the green and gold tree tops, the long hidden little meadow in front of me looked so peaceful, all the shadows looked so dark at the far end. I turned slowly for two seconds, as a noise distracted me…just a morning song bird, I turned back to watch my meadow grow bright in the morning sunrise. Which looked exactly the same except one of the shadows now radiated huge plumes of steam, glowing very noticeably with the sunrise; I held my breath trying to make out the ghostly shape of the shadows. As if on cue the elk stepped out into the full sunshine, my heart raced it was a bull elk, this was a scenio last week as I was on

a bowhunting adventure early one morning. I sat high in the tree tops, my tree stand hid in a blend of spectacular fall colours, overlooking the narrow meadow surrounded by a prairie forest, one main game trail came down the middle of the meadow and forked off to either side of my tree stand. A perfect setup to harvest my tablefare for the winter, months of preparation and anticipation all lead to this moment, what at that moment followed I wasn’t prepared for. The bull elk now clearly visible and heading my way as planned was certainly strange, a younger bull elk with his right antler two to three feet high forked at the end. The antler on other side, only just past his ear looked like it was lazy and stunted, as silly as that looked it was his antics that made me as much as I tried to hold back… laugh out loud.

Turkey Rice Soup

Dawn Hames Columnist

This week it has seemed like just when the crops are starting to get dry enough to combine a rain comes through, and work is halted, so we have made little progress. Right now I am still focusing on harvest meals, and trying to figure out quick and easy make-ahead meals. After some meal planning, it was off to the grocery store to pick up supplies. At the store I heard one lady say to another something about a turkey supper and as our carts passed in the aisle and I thought that would be a great harvest meal idea. Cooking a turkey supper would be good for several meals, sandwiches and then a homemade turkey soup from the bones. I cooked the turkey on Sunday and we will be finishing the last of the soup on Friday. A

soup made from bone broth is full of lots of healthy benefits. Bone broth is full of beneficial minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. It is an excellent source of healing nutrients for the joints and skin such as collagen, glycine and glutamine. You can also use the broth as a nurturing morning beverage instead of Timmies. A well made bone broth will form a gel when cooled. So don’t throw away the bones, if you don’t have time to make the soup right away, the bones can also be frozen and used later. You can use the bones from a cooked turkey or chicken. When you are making a turkey or chicken stock, first add enough water, approximately two quarts, to cover the bones of an already roasted bird. Add two bay leaves, 1/2 cup of dill pickle or sweet pickle juice and a spice bag made out of pickling spice (the optional secret ingredient). The pickle juice helps hydrolyze the collagen in the bones, to add more benefi-

He skipped down the trail like a school girl on her way to grandma’s house for cookies, the occasional buck or kick just added to the weirdness, he was certainly enjoying himself on this warm sunrise. Bowhunting has been steadily slow with increasing south and east winds bringing rain and heat, now this elk skipped down the trail and stood in the exact spot near my stand, a scenario that I played over and over in my mind for a perfect elk harvest. Although a younger elk, he was a full size body weight and would fill the deepfreeze with tender vittles, however, with a smile I couldn’t erase from my face, combined with the break out of my chuckles, I couldn’t shoot my bow right? I nicknamed him on the spot and called him “The Jester” I said to him in silent thought, “Skip away Jester and enjoy your

cial nutrients to the broth. To make a spice bag place 2 tablespoons of pickling spice on a piece of clean washed cotton and tie it up with string. Drop the whole bag into the water. Boil for several hours and strain the broth from the bones for your soup stock base. If you don’t want to be bothered with the spice bag, you can add the pickling spice directly to the pot and later strain it all out. I got chatting with one of my customer’s in the store and she told me that she uses her slow cooker to make her broth. I thought, what a great idea, and ever since then it has been my favorite way to make bone broth. I have a larger oval crock pot, so I put the bones, the pickle juice, a carrot, a quartered onion and several cloves of garlic in with some salt and pepper and let it cook all night. In the morning the bone broth is done and I strain it, remove any turkey meat from the bones and add all the soup ingredients back into the crock pot. Even

day, perhaps we will meet another day! And again as if on cue he did exactly that, he skipped off out of my vision and faded into the dense autumn trees, once again the wilderness fell silent and still. That was the only action I was going to see that morning, even distant elk bugles we heard only days before were silent, walking back to camp now warmed by a gorgeous morning I felt great. On a trail thru another patch of woods, I found myself looking around as if to see someone watching me and asking myself, ”did I just do a little skip there?” When the Smoke Clears Isn’t it funny, serious consequences, repercussions and big trouble when it comes to missing children and pets involves a lot of harsh hugging and face kisses?

though I am gone to work in the morning, the soup keeps cooking in the slow cooker and is ready for the men by dinnertime.

W hen I dr ive t he county, and see the bounty of heavy crops all around and experience the wet weather that seems to persist, I wonder if we’re going to have to endure one of those falls that bedeviled us seems like always in the long ago past. In those days of binders, stooking and bundle racks and threshing machines, you were lucky to do much actual threshing most years around here until October as I recall. Binders really took time to cut the crop, remember the widest cut was only ten feet in the latest model so called power binder that had a power take off drive and didn’t rely on the old bull wheel ground drive, that did limit the speed, you had to go a certain speed and it was four mile an hour at best. Any kind of trouble and the average acreage cut in a day would be twenty five or thirty acres-average stooker could do about fifteen on a long day if the crop was a tad heavy. Well, try it!! There were a lot of sheaves in an acre of heavy crop!! There also seemed to be endless tasks of getting horses that had been enjoying life just doing horse things suddenly being subjected to all sorts of things like get ting, manes, tails and hooves trimmed ready them for the task of pulling in bundle rack!! and those wag ons all had to have axels greased and any repairs made s o t h e r e ’d b e n o t r o u b l e t h r o u g h

Ye s, t h ere were all the old hay; bundle racks to be repaired and there were some real ingenious outfits. Early on you never saw a rubber tired wagon either. No o n e wante d a h i g h w h e e l wo o d e n wheel either as you had to pitch the bundles higher to make a big load!! Some guys had racks smaller, this wa s n’ t really a st an d ar d s ize, b ut usually it was about eight by fourteen and ends about four feet or so high. You remembered the folks that had smaller racks because they were q u i c k l y l o ad e d a n d u n l o ad e d a n d you didn’t like to follow them as they really only had about half a regular load. All that challenge of working on a crew and holding up your end as they’d say meant a lot, you had to be able to handle the job and excel really. Gave you a good feeling as I recalled!! Then of course there were no trucks with hoists or grain augers to move grain from the field so you had to move and spot the graineries to the field to be threshed another chore that had to be done before you actually started to thresh!! Oh yes, and when the last bundle cleared the blower and threshing was done you had to clean up the screenings from under the threshing machine before some stray cattle found them and came to grief as could happen, and before you could let your cattle forage the stubble fields you’d have to fence the straw piles too.

Back To School At St. Jerome’s

Children of all ages were excited to be back in the halls at St. Jerome’s School on September 6. During announcements Principal Allan Chase welcomed everyone back to school. “It’s an exciting time at St. Jerome’s with

all of the recent changes and renovations,” said Chase. He went on to say that with renovations still in the works, some classes have settled into new classrooms, while the intercom system has yet to be installed in all of the hallways. He thanked everyone for their patience until all of the renovations are complete.

Brighter Beginnings was also relocating to their original upstairs location on September 6. In one classroom, children started off the morning by singing action songs. Student Council members prepared decorations throughout the school and handed out coffee, juice, and muffins to parents and students as they

entered on their first day. A picture frame was specially made for Grade 12 students as they celebrated their last first day of school this year. Staff and students got reacquainted after the summer break, with many smiles and hugs being exchanged. Returning students spent the day welcoming new students and getting settled back into school.

Lakeland College Joins Province In Hosting Green Energy Event

Angela Mouly Reporter

Lakeland College’s Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI) in Vermilion hosted a barbeque and guest speakers that highlighted green energy in agriculture, retail, and manufacturing on September 10. As a gold sponsor for Alberta Green Energy Doors Open (GEDO), Lakeland College joined in the province wide showcase, sharing information about their online renewable energy courses with those who attended. They also hosted other local businesses to display green energy services offered in the area as part of the Decentralized Energy (DE) projects, businesses, manufacturing sites, education programs, and other related initiatives that shared at several locations throughout Alberta from September 9 11. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness, understanding, and support for sustainable energy by providing the public with the opportunity to see, touch, and talk about the projects available here. The event saw families, business representatives, and municipal government members alike; all interested in the development and use of renewable energy. After enjoying hamburgers and hotdogs and a tour of the CSI facilities guests filed in with standing room only for presentations by speakers and industry professionals Klaas Rodenburg, Mike Hittinger, and Robert Baron. “We didn’t know how it would turn out. Often people underestimate the interest that people have in renewable energy. Many in rural areas want to adopt these ideas because they have more space available without having to disturb their neighbours with new practices,” said Baron.

As the Renewable Energy Program Head for Lakeland College, Baron went on to say that they are able to educate students and the public in a balanced way because they are not biased by selling a product. They are able to test the products used in their facilities and report on their efficiency. Because the Renewable Energy courses at Lakeland College are available online, students and staff who are practicing industry specialists are able to attend from all over the world. “The best part of being involved is the passion that people have in this industry for trying to make change happen. The pioneers of the Green Energy Industry have had to work against the grain and remain positive; never giving up,” said Baron. Chris Elder provided an Alternative Land Use Ser vices (ALUS) display showing local farmers options available for alternative watering systems, wetland restoration, and other green services within the County of Vermilion River. “I like helping find solutions for improvements to land use when needed and seeing ALUS recognize people that do take good care of their land,” said Elder. Greg Arends provided a Solar Harvest display showing options of recent solar energy designs. With staff in Wainwright and Camrose, Arends noted that his favourite part of the job has been meeting the wide variety of people; some of whom are looking to green energy use to benefit their grandchildren. “We shouldn’t deny our heritage and neglect oil and gas, but moving forward, I hope Albertan’s look at all forms of energy as part of the mix,” said Arends. Jordan Newcombe, President of Para-

CHLORINE

gon Alternative and Conservative Energy Inc. out of Lloydminster provided a display of solar energy information via a portable solar generator. He wanted to show people that the industry has made many

improvements in the last few years and inform them that it doesn’t have to cost more than they will see in return now. For more information you can visit www. lakelandcollege.ca/applied-research/CSI.

Lakeland College Resumes

Angela Mouly Reporter

Dean of Agricultural Sciences Josie Van Lent, led a presentation for agricultural students in the Alumni Theatre as part of registration day at Lakeland College Vermilion on September 6. Van Lent spent time welcoming second year students back and new students from as far as Yukon Territory, Ukraine, and France. “With 100 years of history in agricultural sciences, we look forward to working with students and being a part of their schooling,” said Van Lent. Agricultural staff introduced themselves and made known what clubs they led. “There’s a great deal of learning that happens outside the classroom,” said a staff member encouraging students to take part in extracurricular clubs. Van Lent also made note of the recent renovations to the student centre. She went on to encourage students to practice following the school’s values including respect, integrity, and welcom-

ing diversity. “Learning can be fun,” she said. Meanwhile in the gymnasium, other students lined up to have their identification photograph taken. The Student Association volunteered handing out useful information and goodies to new students. Students received college and community maps to get them familiar with the Vermilion area. The Commons offered information on what resources and support they have available at Vermilion’s Lakeland College for students to succeed in their education and in life.

Plenty Of Positives As Young Marauders Win Two Quarters In Cold Lake

Last Halloween a veteran Marauder squad avenged a home opening loss to Cold Lake with a 41-6 drubbing of the Royals at Soholt Field. Last Friday the more experienced Royals team had to battle hard to defeat the young Vermilion team 35-14. The Marauders scored the only points of the first quarter set up by an interception by rookie Ossman Abuzukar on the Royals first offensive play. Rookie quarterback Jacob Kotowich engineered the 10-play drive that initially relied on the power running of Brayden Chilibeck, who accounted for 27 of the 54 yards to the goal line. Kotowich combined with Tanner Throndson for 16-yard completion to the Cold Lake 11. Chilibeck brought the ball to the six, and the Marauders moved to the one-yard line on a facemask call against the Royals. Throndson scored from the one losing his helmet in the process of crossing of the goal line. David Wilson provided the point after with 3:54 left in the opening quarter. Then there was no scoring until late in the second quarter when the Royal’s formidable aerial attack scored three times in the last four minutes including a final touchdown with no time on the clock. Cold Lake’s attack was centered on

the 6’5” 255-pound Anthony Francis who got behind the Marauder coverage for a 28-yard pass and run touchdown on a third and 21 play for the Royals first score. He also kicked the convert. This first touchdown was set up by an interception, and the second by a fumbled snap on the Marauder 44. On another third down play, Daniel Delorme slipped behind the Marauder defense for a 25-yard touchdown with 1:27 left in the half. The Royals forced the Marauders to punt with 46 seconds left on the clock. On successive catches of 36 and 10 yards, Francis brought the Royals to the 18. Nathan Roberts scored on a run from the three with no time on the clock. Francis added his third convert for a 21-7 lead. Like the first quarter, the third quarter belonged to the Marauders who held the Royals scoreless and scored the only points with 1:53 left in the quarter. They had a chance earlier in the quarter when the punt snap went over Francis’ head and he was caught back on his own 24 by a group of Marauders led by Kyle Theiss. The Marauders were as close as second and goal from the six but were called for objectionable conduct. On third and goal from the 16, Kotowich delivered to Abuzukar on the goal line, but the ball went in and out of his hands. However, the Marauders would score

Tanner Throndson (2) returned to his receiver role in game 2 and one of this three catches (above) brought the Marauders into the red zone. He fought for some of those 16-yards with a couple of Royals draped on him. He would carry for a one-yard touchdown three plays later.

on their next possession. An angled punt by Francis gave the Marauders a first down on the Cold Lake 52. An interception was negated by an unnecessar y roughness call against the Royals. The chains were moved before the ref’s signal, and a generous spot for the original line of scrimmage gave the Marauders the ball first down on the Royal’s 32. The Marauders lost three yards on the exchange between Kotowich and Chilibeck. Kotowich followed with completions to Throndson for five yards and a third down gamble to Cameron Barkley to inside the 20. Chilibeck fought for almost 10 yards. One second and less than one, Pierce Joa, appeared to get a touchdown but the ball was spotted on the one. Chilibeck scored on the second attempt. Francis scored his second touchdown on the first play of the final quarter but his convert attempt was wide putting the Royals up 27-14. That was the only scoring until Vince Brosseau conceded a single on a Francis punt with 3:35 left in the game. Another Royals interception led to the their final touchdown. Francis was called for offensive pass interference after pushing off Brosseau and negating an 11-yard catch to the end zone. The Marauders initially held Cold Lake to no gain and a second and 21. A

too many men call against Vermilion brought the ball 10 yards closer setting up an 11-yard TD pass and run by Delorme. Marauder points after: Jarret Eyben returned to the team after a year’s absence and contributed a highlight foot tackle early in the second quarter. He and Brosseau had the tough assignment of shadowing Francis… Eyben was one of six new players who dressed for the Marauders who also lost three people to injuries in the season opener…Kotowich was 6 for 14 in his debut at pivot. Throndson had three catches for 21 yards, Bartley was two for 13 and Abuzukar had a 14-yard grab to go with his interception. He was also the main kick returner with a couple of very good returns finding holes and shaking off tackles… Chilibeck shouldered the early running game, with 55 yards on 11 carries in the first quarter. That was almost half of his 106 yard total. 21 yards came from a fake punt when he saw daylight on the left side of the field…Joa, in his first game, carried seven times for 49-yards. Riley Pashulka also had two carries and Ismial “Gord” Udden had one three yard gain. Throndson had a one-yard touchdown and a three-yard scramble…Udden and Theiss combined for a sack…The Marauders host the Westlock Thunderbirds on Sept 16.

The VES staf f would like to welcome all of our VES families. We are so excited to be back in school to make and share learning experiences. Teachers were very busy the week before last, preparing for the arrival of students, engaging in important school level conversations about the new school year and collaborating with colleagues across BTPS in the first of three Teacher Effectiveness Support Team days. Now we are extremely happy to have students in our classrooms. To start the first day of school, every student received a smoothie from the Healthy Schools Healthy Future program. Then we had an assembly to introduce new staff, go over our motto of Being the Best We Can Be, and talk about our virtues. Our overriding virtue for this school year will once again be that of respect and we will discuss that periodically with our classes. September’s virtue is goal setting. Mrs.

Webb touched upon goal setting in the assembly when she talked about clubs and AR goals. Both students and staff will work toward setting many goals as the year rolls along. VES would like to welcome Mrs. Erinn Baldwin as our new administrative assistant. Mrs. Baldwin has lived in our community for several years and has an extensive background in business administration and accounting, which will be very beneficial in our school office. We would also like to welcome Miss Ashley Taylor, who will teach K-3 music and RTI. Miss Taylor made the incredibly long trip from Newfoundland to join us here at VES. This will be Miss Taylor’s fifth year of teaching, but her first in Alberta. Please join us on September 15 for muffin morning open house from 7:45-9. This will be a drop-in morning to allow you to see your child’s classroom and teacher, and to tour the school, which is all spiffed up with new flooring and paint.

Some of the things we have done are put $10,000 towards the new sound system in the gym, got a $40,000 government grant towards the purchase of the J.R. Bus, purchased ping pong tables and a Foosball table for some indoor fun.There is a tent with walls that can be used for outdoor events and a new score board for the basketball team. Some things we are working on are finding cement pic-nic tables and garbage cans to put in the outdoor space so the kids can have somewhere to sit and relax. There can be as much or as little involvement as you wish.There is a mandatory 4 meetings in the year in which over 50% of members need to attend to make any decisions. We are on the list to work the casino in Camrose in the 4th quarter this year. This is our major fundraiser and there could be more as you wish.

In some ways, you are the As Jupiter changes positions in your chart this big winner for this change in week, it starts to introduce a Jupiter. That's because for fabulous year ahead where the next 12 months, Jupiter you can improve your job, will travel through the part of your chart that is all about or get a better job, or get better duties, or get a better fun and pleasure! Opportunities for romance workspace, or be free of and love affairs will abound. unpleasant coworkers or bosses.

This new journey of Jupiter is excellent news for your sign because basically, you are a nester. Therefore, it will delight you to know that in the next 12 months, you will have wonderful opportunities to improve your home in any way possible.

Libra

Scorpio

Sagittarius

You will be more popular in the next 12 months - no question. In fact, not only will you interact more with friends, as well as join clubs, groups and associations, you will enjoy these interactions more than usual. In addition, these interactions will benefit you and be supportive because Jupiter always brings a benefit.

The year ahead is important for you because Jupiter will travel across the top of your chart. If you read All Signs, you will see that the last time this happened was 2005, and the next time it happens will be 2028. Therefore, this is not a common opportunity! It is rare!

The next 12 months will be an exciting time for you because you have an inquiring, scientific mind, and the coming year will be full of opportunities to go to school, take courses, and learn more about practically anything.

For your sign, the wealth of Jupiter will truly manifest because it will travel through one of your Money Houses, specifically the house of shared income and other people's money and resources. Some of you will get an inheritance in the next 12 months.

You will definitely notice thisa shift of Jupiter because it will affect your everyday surroundings in a super positive way. For starters, you will learn more. Many of you will take some kind of training in a field of study that can be useful.

"Show me the money!" (Jerry Maguire gave us that great line as well as "You had me at hello.") Indeed, you are now entering a 12 to 18 month window (depending on when you were born) where you can boost your income and make more money.

Oh me oh my, lucky Jupiter is moving into your sign this week. Basically, this marks the beginning of a new 12-year cycle of growth for you. (Time to let out another pleat in your shower curtain?) This is a cycle during which you are intended to discover who you really are as a person.

Because Jupiter will be in a hidden part of your chart for the next 12 months, the benefits to your sign are more subtle - but they are truly there. It means that you will have opportunities to discover more about your spiritual and religious life.

How Essential Oils Helped Change My Life

Reporter

Essential Oils Wellness Advocate, Sandra Garnett talked openly about her journey and why she believes essential oils saved her life in an interview last week. The essential life advo c ate and sales representative for the doTERRA e s s e n t i a l o i l s c o m p a ny s a i d t h at the oils helped change her life after battling drug addiction for many years. “ To d ay I t a l k a b o u t d oT E R R A , which means “Gift of the Earth,” and its benefits and how to live the essential life. I was really sick and struggling in a bad place for many years. I found it very difficult to deal with life. My cousin visited me, and told me that I wasn’t getting any better because my spirit was broken. She introduced me to essential oils and sent me the kit,” said Garnett. “I just kept applying the essential oils. Like a true addict, I overused the amount of essential oils as recommended. They cleared my head and gave me balance.” Garnett, who suffered with mental illnes s that fe d her ad d i c tion and dysfunction for much of the early part of her life, is a passionate believer in the healing power of doTERRA and living a clean life without toxicants or chemicals today. “doTERRA has made a huge difference in my life,” said Garnett. “I am a lot healthier. Essential oils are fabulous for suppor ting emotional and mental clarity. They suppor t all the systems of the body (from lungs to heart to brain to liver) and boosting your immune function.” Garnett explained how she makes her own house cleaning products with natural products using lemon oil and

vinegar instead of using produc ts with chemicals, which are absorbed into the body and have harmful side effects. “I have absolutely no chemicals or medicine cabinet crap in my house. I have only clean food in my house, it wasn’t easy at first but its evolution. My goal is to one day have a doTERRA powered rescue that combines people like me that no one believes can turn it around, with a shelter for abused and abandon animals. It will be self contained with solar energy by a lake and doTERR A purple to match my hair,” said Garnett. The doTERRA company was built on the mission of sharing therapeutic essential oils with the world. A group of health- care and business professionals have set out to make this mission a realit y, with a more individual approach the allows individuals to experience the power of essential oils. Essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beaut y treatment, and health- care practices. Over the last five years doTERRA products have added many more single oils and oil blends as well as nutritional, spa, and healthy living products based on essential oil technologies and a comprehensive wellEssential Oils Wellness Advocate, Sandra Sinclair/Garnett.
