Hidden beneath earth, corrugated tin, and garbage for nearly 100 years, a car ving by W WI Veteran Thomas Alban Snelgrove was discovered in the Bentata Cave near Arras, France. As part of the film documentary following 44 missing Canadian soldiers, Robert and Barb Snelgrove and their family were recently given the opportunity to view the carving firsthand. Assuming that the tunnels had been dug for war purposes, Robert discovered they had proven useful during the war, but had been around much long er. The Romans had built the tunnels as chalk mining quarries, and the last time they were used before the war was in the 1600’s. The Bentata Cave was used as a staging area; located half way between where the back lines would have held the field hospitals and supplies, and the front attack lines. Men would stay
there for a week at a time with reserve lines moving toward the front line. The cave was 30 - 50 feet deep with columns to suppor t the roof. Some rooms were quite small, while some were very large. Located 5 km from the front lines and far underground, the soldiers were safe from shell fire. Equipped with flashlights and a string of lights powered by a Volkswagen for filming purposes, the Snelgroves took the near ver tical steps down into the Bentata Cave. Six feet above the tunnel floor, they could see nails where helmets were hung or bunks were built. “Men likely carved right from their bunks. There were thousands of carving s; some ex tremely ornate, and some not. With the tunnel being huge, and the carvings small; we kept seeing different things when looking at the walls from different angles,” said Rober t Snelgrove.
The car vings are ex tremely well preserved in the chalk surfaces. With the hole being dry, even much of the writing in pencil is still legible. This was the first battle that pencils were issued to all soldiers. Most carvings don’t have a name to identify them. To date, the carving by Thomas Alban Snelgrove is one of only three identified carvings. “One thing that the guides pointed out was that reports are not showing how bad the war was or how incompetent the leaders were. In other reports, the carvings are being called, ‘graffiti’. There’s nothing profane there; just a crest on a wall,” said Snelgrove. A letter box was carved in the wall for soldiers to send letters to Canada and their last letter home. They could pick their letter out at the end of the day if they made it back to the tunnel. A candle that sat on the edge lef t black soot above. Giving the history and filmmaking
crew a clue where to look for relatives, Thomas Alban Snelgrove’s car ving proved helpful. It features the 151st Battalion, which was made up of only Western Canadian soldiers, along with his name and Islay, Alberta. The Snelgrove family had a private filming session that captured their reac t i o n to se e in g T h o m a s A l b an Snelgrove’s crest. Historical documentation and imaging group (CANADIGM) have created a 3D replica of the carving that will be touring Canada in 2017 as part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Originally, surveyors thought that a bomb crater on the property was the 44 soldiers’ resting place; a recent aerial photo radar image suggests another more shallow area as their resting place. This new location is where Canadian Historian and documentary host, Norm Christie and the geophysicists want to dig. The sur veyors searched for the exact location using a grid spaced out in 50m increments and focused on an area the size of two football fields. “ T here’s a lot m ore thing s that come into play as soon as you want to dig,” said Snelgrove. The consensus with the other families involved was that their relatives had been in that lo c ation for 10 0 years; why disturb them? They would prefer that their resting place just be given recognition; perhaps being
made into a new cemetery. With so many other existing cemeteries nearby already, including the Canadian ‘Nine Elms’ Cemeter y which is where they were supposed to be relocated when the Imperial War Graves Commission preformed clean up after the war. The bodies of the missing 44 Canadian soldiers are now thought to be only one and a half meters beneath the surface. If crews are able to identify even one body, the location of all 44 men will be found. “ We know we were standing within nine or ten meters of where o u r r e l a t i v e s w e r e k i l l e d ,” s a i d Snelgrove. The families of the fallen soldiers became very close in a short period of time because their relatives are all buried in the same grave, and together they faced several emotional moments during the filming of the documentary. “By the time we left France, our family had developed a close relationship with
The Vermilion Voice | October 3, 2016 the other veteran’s families that had been filmed with us. We began to learn parts of their family histories as well as our own,” said Snelgrove. The Snelgroves plan on keeping in touch with the other families, and notifying their own many extended family members about their recent findings. The efforts of a passionate producer and film crew, dedicated volunteer geophysicists, and a large group of willing relatives have gone to a great deal of effort to bring awareness of the missing 44 Canadian soldiers. They aim to help others remember the soldiers accordingly through the travelling 3D crest memorial, and the airing of the film documentary on the History Channel in April, 2017. “Historian Norm Christie reminded us, ‘What happens in 200 years if people don’t remember?’ After 100 years, Canada is still missing 11,000 men that helped to shape our nation’,” said Melissa Guenthner.

Starke Announces Bid For Alberta PC Leadership
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
Alberta Progressive Conservative House Leader Dr. Richard Starke formally announced he will be in the race for Leader of the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta on Sept 29 at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Lloydminster. Starke began the media conference by saying he wanted to make sure the local media in his constituency had the first opportunity to hear from him regarding the announcement he was going to make in Edmonton later that day. “My parents came to this Province because it offered them hope, it offered them opportunity and it offered them a better life then what they left behind,” said Starke. He went on to say his parents taught his
sister and him the value of getting involved in the community and encouraged an interest in politics. “I met Peter Lougheed and it was a meeting I will never forget. A few years later when I was 16 - years - old, I was elected Vice President of Policy for the Edmonton - Calder Progressive Conservative Association. I became a Progressive Conservative then and I remain a proud Progressive Conservative today. “Over the past four years I have had the honour of representing the people of Vermilion - Lloydminster and it is a duty and responsibility I take very seriously. Over the past four years I have had the opportunity to serve as a Cabinet Minister, I have chaired the Royal Health Services Review and for the past 16 months since last May I have served as Progressive Conservative

Caucus House Leader. In every role and in every step along the way I have served Albertans with integrity and dedication, but it is now time for me to take the next step in that journey, so today I am officially announcing that I will be seeking the Leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta,” said Starke Starke went on to say that what is driving him to take the next step was that Alberta was always a place of unlimited opportunity, it was Canada’s economic engine and it was a place where people dreamed big and they set out ambitious goals. “We were proud of our accomplishments, we celebrated success and we enjoyed an unprecedented period of economic expansion that created good jobs and a great standard of living, but since last May all of that has changed. We have watched as Racheal Notley and her NDP government have reshaped our province in their own vision. It is a process that has resulted in the loss of 10’s of thousands of jobs and has affected 100’s of thousands of Albertans and their communities. The NDP has said that when they are done we won’t recognize Alberta anymore, and I for one am not prepared to stand idly by and let that happen. It quite frankly is what keeps me up at night. We want our Alberta back. Our friends, our neighbours, our loved ones are losing their jobs and their homes and they are losing their hope. Our youth is leaving Alberta because they cannot find employment.” added Starke. During his speech Starke said we will hear three words throughout his campaign. ‘Principles’, ‘Compassionate’ and ‘Conservative,’ which he uses to describe himself and what he believes Albertans want to see in their leaders and in their Government. He also went on to say, that during his
campaign, you will not see his campaign engage in hyper partisan personal attacks. That he will run a clean, ethical and open campaign. “I’ve been across our great province and have heard loud and clear, people are unhappy with how our province is being run, and they want change,” says Richard Starke, PC Leadership candidate. “Those conversations have motivated me to run for leadership. Like so many Albertans, I want to see Alberta become a place of hope, prosperity and opportunity once again. We can re-build the Progressive Conservative party based on Alberta values - hard work, compassion, generosity, entrepreneurship and resilience: and we will present a vision for our province that will re-establish the trust of Albertans,” says Starke.

Vermilion Legion Sold To Cut Costs “We can run the Legion no different than the way the Rotary Club and other clubs run. The economy has changed everything. We had to make cuts and changes this past summer. We cut down on the air-conditioning and the food costs for the steak nights. Summer is a very slow season for us. We opened nine years ago, and when we opened, we did really good for the first three and half years and then after the sixth year we noticed that after the oil had gone

south, we were struggling. We have seen a lot of wastage. We are only opened t wo nights a week. At the end of the day, after we paid all of our expenses, we were lucky if we made $50 clear profit. With past costs of $6,500 taxes per year and $4,600 in insurance, we have now been able to lower those costs per year considerably. We have saved around $10,000 per year by doing what we did,”
said Marriott. “Ninety percent of the money donated by veterans over the years has gone into the Poppy Fund. Some members that lost their vote may have got upset about it. We are looking at possibly buying a building in the future, and we are looking at starting a committee down the road to work towards that. We knew things were going down and we still had a mortgage to pay, now we have $250,000 invested in long-term certificates.” said Marriott.
On September 9, the sale of the Royal Canadian Legion Post 11 in Vermilion went through. The Legion will not be moving from their current location and have a signed lease for the use of the hall for the next five years. Legion Treasurer and Past President, Bruce Marriott said the Legion was sold for economic reasons. “We realized that we couldn’t survive the way we were going over the last few years. Our Legion memberships are down. The overhead costs were killing the Legion. We were down considerably over the last two years. We made a democratic vote with all of the members of the Legion, and it was approved by command with 66 percent in favour of the sale,” explained Marriott. “The bottom line is, to keep this club open, we had to make a decision. Everyone was given a chance at the meeting to voice their opinion, and we decided that this was the best way to move forward,” said Vermilion Legion President Garry Zayac. “All Legions throughout Alberta are currently down. Times are tough, and we had to do what we had to do to keep operating. The sale was a good thing, and it will keep the Legion in Vermilion open,” said Legion Poppy Chair, Marcel Lefebvre.

a great time to express my gratitude. Three years ago, I left working at a place that brought me down each and every day. The person I worked for made me feel incompetent, stupid and unapprec iated, but now three years later, I continue to work at a place where yes; I sometimes work long and stressful hours but makes m e fe el c o mfor t a b le an d a p pre c i ated every day. I work at a job that I love and feel more confident in even though I still have lots to learn. I work with a group of people who not only are my co-workers but have become what I consider friends and family-like. I have Sue, my boss, who sometimes drives me bonkers; as I am sure I do to her as well, but in a good way. I can go home and giggle about her constant questions and checking, which I have learned to appreciate, she keeps us all on track. She is one of the kindest, compassionate individuals I have ever met and: so enjoy having her in my life. I am t hank ful for my family an d friends! Last week I travelled to see my sister in New Brunswick who I haven’t seen in almost 17 years and I am especially thankful for that opportunity. It was great just being able to sit across the room and talk to her like we always did. Remember in our family lives we may not always see eye to eye on things but in the end family and friends always come first, and nothing can happen that will change the commitment we have for each other. Lastly, I have been extremely lucky with my health. I have had problems in the past that every year I have to have checked and this year was the time for the dreaded Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy to make sure nothing was creeping its way back. I am happy
to say I came through it with flying colours, except for a small polyp, that was removed, and the pathology came back negative. After having the big “C” before believe me, I am always thankful when those tests come back on a positive note. I have been very lucky; someday I may not be, but I will cross that bridge when and if it happens. As humans, it’s like we have been breed to concentrate more on the negative things around us, but I think we need to start looking more at the positive things we have in life. Be thankful for each and every day we wake up, as not all of us do. And REMEMBER no matter how bad our lives often feel there is always some little thing to be thankful for no matter how small it may seem. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Fall is in the air, actually fall, or autumn is officially here, summer ended September 22, and as if on cue the leaves started to fall heavy in low-lying areas. The transition for fall colors was short and sweet for some low-lying areas that had a good frost; the leaves seemed to change to golden yellow overnight than high winds stripped the trees bare. However, there are still green leaves mixed in vivid colors with golden yellows and crimson reds. Last week I never even seen the transition in our area. I was on an adventure where leaves were not so prominent. I was bowhunting antelope along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, near a small town named obviously for that fact… Alsask, in an area where leaves were not in big numbers. Sage and rolling prairie hills as far as the eye could see was the scenario on this hunt, much different than I had expected. I pictured flat land, but it was much hillier than here in the Midwest and more water than I would have thought. In fact, it had been so wet there the crops were coming off late and slow with the rolling hills, small pothole ponds were everywhere, so hunting over an isolated water hole was even an option. Upon arrival, we went for a short drive, and it didn’t take long before we were seeing antelope. Also, it

didn’t take long to see why they nickname them “speed goats,” they could run like the wind and disappear in seconds. Living in Alberta, I have seen a fair amount of antelope, but they certainly are not common to me as I have lived in central and northern Alberta all my life. My first impression was just how stunning and beautiful an animal they are. Their colors so vibrant and bright; proud and almost alien to me, like they belong in a far off continent like Africa. The hunt consisted of a lot of looking through binoculars and spotting scopes. Once spotting them it was a hike. When they are spotted it appears they are just over the hill and a short distance away, but over that hill was another hill, and another and the antelope could be miles away. Also, distance was a factor as it’s so hard to judge with nothing to compare them too in their natural habitat. They are much smaller than they appear and the terrain is so deceiving. The archery antelope draw took me a priority eight, meaning it took me eight years to be successful in getting the draw licence, and that number of priority years is getting longer every year. In fact, the average time it can take to be awarded the tag will be 10 to 14 years with the increasing number of people applying, and that’s if we don’t have more bad winters where antelope numbers go down as will a number of licences awarded. The area I was successful in being
awarded the draw wasn’t the most popular area and numbers are not as great. However, I was happy with the numbers of up to 75 antelope seen a day. In fact, we started to name several of the big bucks with names such as “Limpy,” a buck that had a noticeable limp, and “Mountain Buck, a big buck that liked to hang around the highest hill in the area, and it was great to see them daily. There were also a lot of smaller bucks we named. Some would just lay beside the road as we drove from one area to another to glass, [use binoculars] many of which would be an easy harvest. However, I made up my mind that I wasn’t going to harvest an antelope just to harvest one, for their size table-fare wasn’t the main incentive, so I decided on an older buck near the end of his life cycle. We did see one or two of those, but normal antelope hunting with a bow and arrow was not working, as most of those tactics rely on the antelope being in their rut or breeding season. A common tactic is using a life-size decoy of an antelope buck, normally if one gets within a mile of a rutting buck and the decoy is set up, the buck will be there in a flash if he sees what he thinks is another male antelope in his territory. During their rut antelope can be very aggressive and also curious, but on this week all the bucks seemed to be passive… lovers not fighters, this week was supposed to be during the peak of their normal rut. However, this year was different, we were

is often part of the celebration, so here are some of my favourite seasonal recipes that I am thankful for. Just add mashed potatoes, salad, vegetables, gravy, pickles and your wine. If you are cooking a turkey, don’t forget that the bones will make a great broth for homemade turkey soup. Turkey The turkey can be roasted with the breast up or down. If you put the breast down the turkey breast meat will be moister, it will unfortunately not have that golden browned magazine perfect look. To have a nicely browned turkey, then roast with the breast up and uncover during the last hour of cooking to brown the turkey. Cook an unthawed and unstuffed turkey for 20 minutes per pound at 325 degrees, or until juices run clear and an internal temperature of 170 degrees F. Reserve the juices for the gravy. I always like to add a little poultry seasoning, with the salt and pepper to the gravy for an amazing flavour. Turkey Stuffing Cut up one loaf of bread, (whole grain) into cubes, add two medium chopped onions, toss with 1/3 cup light olive oil, 1/2 cup melted butter, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning to taste. Yes, you have to taste it to get it right, before you pop the stuffing into the oven, Cook in 2 loaf pans, covered loosely with tin foil in the oven during the last 30-40 minutes of roasting the turkey. It is currently recommended not to cook the stuffing in the turkey. Roasting the turkey without the stuffing inside is considered a safer cooking method to help ensure the optimal internal cooking temperature of the turkey. Cranberry Sauce In a saucepan combine 2 1/2 cups frozen or fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup maple syrup or sugar. Cook on

late, not likely too early or just in a mid lull rut due to weather, etc., so normal tactics proved to be redundant if not impossible. We did see one high hill that the antelope liked to stand on top of, and watch the world go by. Once up there, it was obvious why, as you could see five miles in every direction. We set up a blind and used four lifesize antelope decoys that could be seen in any direction. I sat in the blind for hours and didn’t see many and the ones I did see didn’t seem to take any interest. Just as I was ready to give up, I could see one over a mile away looking in my direction. In an instant he was at the bottom of my hill, then in another blink on top of the hill looking at me. He was at the outer range of my bow but if broadside, in range. However, he was facing me, and I didn’t like the shot. After a five minute stare down he turned to leave, I drew the bow and took aim…then let the bow down. He was a very decent buck; most would be very happy to harvest him. H owever, I was just sim ply hap py to experience the adventure. I came home thinking the entire adventure was a success. When The Smoke Clears Got to thinking; by the time I am eligible for the antelope priority draw again, I will be 72 - 74 years old… Hope that new generation of antelope will be able to keep up with me!
low heat, occasionally stirring, breaking up some of the berries when cooked with the back of the spoon. Remove from heat when to thicken and slightly reduced. Serve warm or cold. This can also be used as a jam on toast. It’s very healthy and tasty. You can also add in one or two chopped oranges at the beginning for a fresh citrus cranberry flavour. Pumpkin Pie Plain Pastry Crust for double crusts 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup lard (not shortening) 1/2 teaspoon salt 3-4 tablespoons iced water Put the lard and the flour into a bowl, cut or flake the lard using a knife, or a fork, or your fingers or a pastry blender to work the lard and the flour together. Add 3 tablespoons of the ice water into the flour mixture and gently mix until moistened. Once the water is added do not over mix or your pastry will be tough. Divide the mixture into two balls and roll each ball of pastry out to fit a 9” pie pan. Pumpkin Filling 4 large eggs 1 large can of pure pumpkin 796 ml 1 can of evaporated milk 1 1/4 cup white sugar 1 Tablespoon cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/8 teaspoon allspice In a large bowl whisk the eggs, then add the rest of the ingredients, stir until well blended, pour the mixture into two 9” pastry or graham wafer pie shells. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes then at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes. The pie is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

I guess if you have a passion for Country Music like I have you’d understand my yearning to get to see someone like Dolly who I have loved so many years. Yes, I am a true fan of hers!! As such I was listening to CFCW one afternoon when I heard the announcement that Dolly Parton was coming to Edmonton and would be appearing in the new Roger’s Place Stadium. In the space of a heartbeat or two I’d made up my mind to see if there was a way to get tickets to the show. I pulled off the road at the first turn off and brought my cell to hand and speed dialed my son Gordon, “Can you get me tickets to go see Dolly Parton?” “Shouldn’t be too hard,” says Gordon. “Give me a minute.” Well in just a minute or so, Gordon got back to me “Done” says he, “They’re about,” and he said the price. My goodness I thought I’ll have to really

A Date With Dolly
be careful from now on to stay afloat till I get these paid for. Well this was in early July and the show was September 17 on a Saturday!! As soon as I could get the money together I headed for Slave Lake where son Gordon lived to see him as it had been a while and I was anxious to get my hands on those tickets. Now Slave Lake is five steady hours of driving from Vermilion and I had that time to wonder at all the difficulties I would have navigating a trail into the inner city and finding a seat in that big stadium with my bum old legs. Really it did give me pause!! To be realistic I thought I’d sooner brave a jungle and all its dangers then challenge the bowels of Edmonton, but the deal was, I really wanted to see and hear Dolly in person. Yes I wanted it THAT bad. Well imagine my distress when Gordon son informed me the tickets could only be obtained just a few hours before the show so that it would be difficult to scalp them and thats that!! So I headed back to Vermilion with a planned stop in Ardros-

The show was simply wonderful and worth all the anxious moments and obstacles ended and Caroline and I decided it was better to head out early to find our way out before the rush. You’ve got to know it was pouring rain when we ventured out but my friend had gotten Jim to come into the disabled lane for me and had also managed to get me a wheel chair to help me out and saved the day. I couldn’t have made the walk in the rain. Bless her heart. So, yes I had a show to remember and a night of a harrowing drive and the thought it was so worth it.

Ockerman Open House And Prospect Calf Sale
Angela Mouly Reporter
The Ockerman family held their annual Open House and Online Prospect Calf Sale on October 1/2016 at the ranch. The Ockerman’s are well experienced in raising cattle, farming and offering 4-H members and junior members a selection of calves. The buyers were able to purchase the calves for use in 4-H. After a barbeque lunch, customers enjoyed walking through the selection of quiet and well broke calves. The calves were tied up in a display in the front yard. For those who were unable to attend and still wanted to purchase a calf, they could view photos and videos online and still take part in the sale. As the evening approached buyers from around the province and as far away as Ontario were able to race online and place their bids for their chosen calf. “We are very pleased with our heifer purchase from last year. She is a sound animal. We used her as an embryo recipient (took first try) and for our 9 yr old to
practice fitting and clipping. She is the first For more information on Train Lead offers, you can search April Ockerman on animal up to us in the pasture and I’ve had Show clinic and services April Ockerman Facebook. numerous purebred Simmental breeders ask what she is, as she is a standout in our pasture. The Ockerman’s are great people with great cattle!” said past buyer Whitney De Decker. Many past buyers have seen the benefit of purchasing an already started calf which was clipped, washed and groomed. Not only do the Ockerman’s work with their prospect calves to be ready them for the sale, but they do offer their past and current buyers assistance throughout the year. They look forward to attending achievement days which is in May-June to see the progress of the calves and support their buyers. “Building relationships with our customers is really important to us. I really enjoy working with my cattle at home and helping the children build a better connection with their calves because I was given help from my parents and grandparents during my Photo supplied years in 4-H,” said April Ockerman.
Lakeland Receives International Award For Leadership
Lakeland College Submitted
Lakeland College has received an international award for providing opportunities for its students and staff to develop leadership skills. The World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics (WFCP) announced Saturday that Lakeland won a bronze Award of Excellence in the leadership development category. The awards were announced during the WFCP World Congress in Brazil. The awards celebrate institutions whose exceptional initiatives strengthen applied learning and research outcomes. “We at Lakeland pride ourselves on providing real leadership opportunities for employees and students who are ready
to take the lead. Our focus on studentmanaged learning experiences sets us apart from other post-secondary institutions and has become an important element of our brand promise,” says Alice Wainwright-Stewart, president of Lakeland College. A few of the many examples of student-led learning opportunities at Lakeland include the Student- Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland, the student-run esthetician spa, math fairs in local schools organized by university transfer students, and a simulated fire hall for firefighter students. The newest initiative is the Student-Environmental Consulting Office which involves environmental sciences students. On the employee side, Lakeland mentors
and supports faculty and staff who are interested in developing their leadership skills. “We give our people the opportunity to develop their potential. It’s a shared process that requires fostering an environment of trust, respect and mentoring. But the benefit is that shared leadership builds a talent base and creates the next generation of college leaders,” says WainwrightStewart. Lakeland was among 20 institutions from Canada, China, Basque Country, United Kingdom and United States recognized for innovative and inspirational projects. Lakeland’s win marks the second time the college has received a WFCP Award of Excellence. In 2014 Lakeland received a silver Award of Excellence in the college-

VES And J. R. Robson Celebrate Terry Fox
Reporter
On September 29, Vermilion Elementary School (VES) students took part in a Terry Fox Run, while J. R. Robson held theirs on September 30. In an attempt to put some perspective on the accomplishments that Terry Fox achieved, VES students spent a couple of weeks running approximately 5,000 laps of their track. They understood the cause and
were happy to help raise awareness. “The children all identified and had lots of fun participating,” said Brian Harvey. On September 30, J. R. Robson School hosted a full afternoon of activities along with their Terry Fox Walk. Students had donated approximately $300 in change towards the Terry Fox Foundation. Many students wore orange shirts as they took part in the Every Child Matters Safe and Caring Campaign.
After their kicking off of their Annual QSP Magazine Fundraiser, they had a presentation by African drummer Jacky Essombe.

Rain Doesn’t Dampen Culture Days Spirit
Reporter
This year’s Alberta Culture Days in Vermilion hosted many events despite the rain and cold winds over the weekend, from September 30 - October 2. It was the 9th Annual Provincial
Celebration and people experienced how culture contributes to a better and more vibrant society in Alberta. Artistic presentations and activities including: a blacksmithing demonstration, roping lessons, pottery, painting, music, dance, martial arts, and meals
were featured throughout the weekend. The Allied Arts in conjunction with Alber ta Culture Days and the Good Life Institute hosted and organized weekend. “Doing a painting in six hours is something new to me. The results I
got last year really encouraged me to do it again this year, because it’s something I didn’t think I could do,” said Ar tist John Lychak. “Overall I really enjoy par ticipating in the Ar t in the Park challenge. I think it really helps one grow as an artist.”

Plenty Of Activity In Vermilion During Alberta Culture Days
Angela Mouly Reporter
Vermilion was bustling with activities from September 30 - October 2, as people gathered to celebrate Alberta Culture Days. Vermilion Elementary School hosted African dancer Jacky Essombe, who was accompanied by Yoro Noukoussi on several musical instruments. With electric energy, Essombe captivated her audience and encouraged them to participate; teaching them several new songs and dances. Essombe is originally from Cameroon, West Africa while Noukoussi is originally from the Republic of Benin, West Africa.
Along with them they had a drum from Cameroon, one of the oldest conga drums from Ghana, a shekere, a senza, kaskas, and a calabash. Kaskas are yo-yo like instruments. The calabash is much like a pumpkin that had been made into a bowl. The bowl can be dried and decorated in several shapes and sizes for water, food, spoons, and musical instruments. “With talent like this, there’s no telling where you could go,” said Essombe of the volunteer dancers of all ages that she witnessed in Vermilion. The Early Childhood Coalition provided support for the African performers to also make presentations at J. R. Robson School and the Vermilion Senior’s Centre.
People of all ages took part in watching and learning the cultural moves envisioning themselves as cooks, fishermen, and warriors. A large group gathered at the Senior’s Centre on September 30, to enjoy a $10 beef on a bun supper hosted by Vermilion Allied Arts. A Jacky Essombe performance began the set of free entertainment. Local talent, The Laurence Boys, concluded the evening with a mix of instruments and genres including some refreshing Celtic songs, amped up classic covers, and a few originals. People clapped and danced along as the band of brothers continued to play on; even after
breaking a few strings. On October 1, The Vermilion Pottery Guild and Heartworks Studio held Open Houses at the airport. Free classes allowed people to mould clay into trees or bowls, and to create ‘gelli printing’ paintings. The gelli printing allowed people to experiment with different patterns. Though learning new skills is sometimes a challenge, participants found it relaxing and fun to see the end result. “I’d like to thank everyone for their many volunteer hours, and for the community for coming out to try new things and show your support,” said Vermilion Cultural Days Chairperson, Rebekah Hiebert.

Now that school is underway, it is the perfect time to help our children develop healthy habits that can make a big difference in their learning. Check out the tips and tricks below for some practical suggestions to help children and youth find success this school year. Nutrition Good nutrition is essential and impacts brain development and academic performance. Children that are under-nourished have less ability to concentrate, less energy, and may be more disruptive. Here are some nutritional tips for school success: • Always star t the day with a healthy breakfast (this improves memory, test grades, and school attendance). • A good breakfast is nutrient-rich (try having three of the four food groups) and provides fibre (whole grains and fresh produce), and is low in sugar, fat and salt. • Bring a healthy lunch to school. This can eliminate children from selecting quick and unhealthy foods from vending machines or lunch concessions.

Steps To Success In School
Organization Being organized can help students stay on task and prevent anxiety: • Have all the items that you will need to use for homework or studying at your work space. Keep the space clean, organized, and decluttered. • At school use labelled pencil boxes/cases, labelled binders, and locker organizers to keep your supplies easily accessible. • Older students can use a planner, daytimer, or a digital organizing App (ie. Google Calendar) to record assignments, homework, and test details and create a study/homework schedule. • Make lists and use notes to remember important information. Do not rely on memory alone! Study Tips There are many tips and tricks students can use in the classroom and at home to help them learn and recall important information: • Do not multitask; the brain learns better when it can focus on one area, for a period of time, without interruptions. That means no jumping back and forth between the books and electronics and no studying or working on more than one

St J’s Day Celebrated
Margaret McCormack
oughly entertaining. Jacky is form a village in Cameroon, Africa and she shared her joyful singing and dancing talents with the students. She had the students up dancing and singing as Grandpa played on the drums. It was a wonderful way to be exposed to Jacky’s traditions and culture. On Friday, September 30, the St. Jerome’s community gathered with members of Holy Name Parish to celebrate their first mass of the school year. September 30 is the Feast Day of Saint Jerome, the patron saint of the school. Father Roger welcomed all of us and spoke words of inspiration and encouragement for the school year. The cross-country running team participated in Runnin’ Riverdale on Friday, September 23. Congratulations to finishers Alex McCullough, Chase Stoltz and Mary Ulrich. A special congratulations to: Jayce Sweeney – Second Gr. 8 boys, Anastasia McCullough – Second Gr. 10 girls, Breanna Maughan – Second Gr. 11 girls, Kaylie Krys - Third Gr. 12 girls, Anna Ulrich – First Gr. 12 girls. Seven volleyball teams were in action on the September 23 and 24 weekend representing St. Jerome’s. On Friday evening the Grade 7 girls and Grade 6/7 boys teams both won Gold at their tournament in St. Paul. On Saturday, the Grade 9 girls and 8/9 boys teams participated in a tournament in St. Paul. Both teams faced tough teams and played with great teamwork and determination. The girls won bronze and the boys lost out in the bronze medal game. Our Sr. Boys and Girls teams were in Bonnyville for the weekend playing
St. Jerome’s School News
It was a very busy week at St. Jerome’s. On Monday morning students showed up to school looking very beautiful and handsome as it was School Picture Day for all students. The school was bathed in Red, White and Black as students wore their school colours with pride on St. Jerome’s Day Wednesday, September 28. In the afternoon the school community gathered in the gym to “Welcome” the grade four students into their houses and new Grade 5 to 12 students and staff. The event began with the students saying the school prayer, “The Prayer of St. Francis”. The Student Council was introduced and pledged an oath as council members. The Grade 4 students raced through an obstacle course with a partner, transferring a balloon and them popping it before they were welcomed into their houses. Sr. High students that were new to St. Jerome’s had to pop the balloon of other contestants, while protecting their own. Our two new teachers, Ms. Gupta and Ms. McKinney, had to answer trivia questions. If they got a question wrong an egg (soft or hard) was cracked over their heads. Thanks to the Student Council for the great job organizing this annual event. Thursday afternoon St. J students and staff gathered once again to enjoy the talent of African dancer/singer, Jacky Essombe and African drummer, Grandpa. These talented individuals were brought in for Alberta Cultural Days and were thor-

On September 23, the cross country running team, accompanied by Miss Taylor, traveled to Riverdale Mini Park to participate in a 2 km race. The sportsmanship and effort demonstrated by all students was outstanding. VES had several students who placed in the top six runners for their grade. Danielle Archibald placed fifth for Grade 4 girls, Olivia Elder placed third for Grade 5 girls, and Breanne Gourley placed second for Grade 6 girls. Mason Hickman placed third in Grade 5 boys and Eli Crowe placed fifth in Grade 6 boys. All runners tried their very best and made VES proud. The Grade 5 classes cleaned the playgrounds on September 26. This was a kick-off for their citizenship project, which is to clean the neighbourhood around the school. They will be doing a clean-up through the fall and spring. The students learn about the importance of pride in their community, volunteering, and how they can make a difference in the world.
For the last couple of weeks, in gym classes and at recesses, VES students have been running laps on the track in an effort (as a school) to reach the total number of kilometers Terry Fox ran from St. John’s to Thunder Bay. On Sept. 29, all students and staff walked around the school for VES’s annual Terry Fox Run. We would like to thank all those who donated to the Terry Fox Run. Our Grade 3, 4 and 5 teachers were fortunate to get to work with Sylvia Malo to make mathematics instruction come alive in their classrooms. On September 29 and 30, eight teachers got to spend a portion of their day in this fabulous professional development opportunity. We are very pleased to team up with Baba Jenny’s Ukrainian Foods once again for our fall fundraiser. There will be four varieties of perogies (Cheddar and Potato, Cottage Cheese and Potato, Sauerkraut and Potato, and Bacon, Onion, Cheddar Cheese and Potato) offered in bags of two dozen with 50% of the funds going directly back to VES. All proceeds raised will
support class field trips. The fundraiser runs from October 4-14. The pick-up date is set for October 26, with times being announced closer to the date. VES is proud to offer a free breakfast program to our students on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. This program helps see that students, who do not arrive at school with full stomachs, have the opportunity to focus on schoolwork, rather than a growling tummy. We are humbled to say that this program is run completely on donations from our very generous community. Donations come in the form of supplies as well as funds and because of this we can offer a free breakfast to all students three days a week. We graciously and thankfully accept any donations. To donate or for more information, please contact Sharleen Moses at the school. Dates to Remember: Oct. 4 – Denise Miller Author Visit; Oct. 4-14 – Perogy Sales; Oct. 5 – Assembly at 10:45; Oct. 6 and 7 and 10 – No School; Oct. 13 – Crazy Hair Day; Oct. 17 – School Council Meeting at 7:00; Oct. 18-24 – Scholastic Book

Remember to get more sleep. This is the one month of the year where you are really tired. Be careful on Wednesday because you might promise more than you can deliver (and you can deliver a lot). But you could get carried away because you feel so passionate, especially sexually.

Your busy pace continues! You are reading, writing and study more than usual, plus taking short trips, visits and running errands. Fortunately, you're getting a lot done! Many are also redecorating at home doing what you can to make where you live look more attractive.
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
You continue to work to make your life as productive and efficient as possible. In fact, this week, Mercury enters the part of your chart, boosting your interest in your health, as well as your ability to do mental work. You will find it easy to be attentive to details.
This continues to be a playful time for you. (Lucky Geminis are on vacation.) Look for ways to explore your creative talents and artistic expression. Accept invitations to party, to enjoy sports events and have fun with playful activities with children. And yes, romance and flirtations abound!
Virgo
Libra
Your focus on home, family and your private life continues. This week Mercury will trigger family discussions along with your concern for home repairs and making practical changes where you live. It's important for you to set the groundwork now for the great benefit that is coming to you.
Sometimes, we say, "It's not about money." But lemme tell ya, this month it is about the money! Money, cash flow, earnings and even issues related to your possessions are tops on your menu. You are thinking of ways to boost your earnings or look for a different job.
This week busy Mercury enters Libra to join the Sun and Jupiter. Yes, it's all about you! You definitely feel energized! In fact, you will notice this around Tues./Wed./Thurs. You will have abundant energy to go after what you want and to express yourself to others.
Scorpio
This is an excellent week to buy wardrobe goodies because you will like what you see in the mirror. (This is important when you want to buy flattering clothes. Never shop when you are depressed.) Furthermore, your ability to negotiate with others is stellar right now.
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Your popularity and enjoyment of other people's company continues to be a primary objective. You will be busy schmoozing this week as well as super active with clubs, groups and organizations. You might influence someone who is younger. (Some are dabbling in secret love affairs.)
You will be super charged with energy for the month because fiery Mars is now in your sign where it will stay until Nov. 8. This happens only once every two years so you definitely want to use this to your advantage. It means that you have more physical energy to address whatever you're doing on a daily basis.
Continue to grab every opportunity to travel or do anything that expands your experience of your world because you want a change of scenery and you want a chance to learn something new! Yeah! Basically, you need to break free of the feeling of being stultified or in a rut.
You couldn't pick a better time to discuss issues regarding taxes, debt, inheritances and shared property. In fact, this beneficial influence will actually last for the next 12 months for you. ("Lucky me!")

Leadership 9 eagerly took the reins and planned our recent Terry Fox Color Run, which took place in the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 26. To really pump up the volume and enjoy the beautiful fall weather, a color run was incorporated along with the traditional Terry Fox event. Our whole school gathered in the gymnasium to reflect on the purpose of our upcoming event and write messages of encouragement and hope on each other’s t-shirts. Once finished there, we headed outside to begin our walk. Over the last couple of weeks, students created colored cornstarch powder to be thrown at runners,

about what happened to indigenous children during an era of Canadian history involving residential schools. On September 23, our cross-country team competed in the Runnin’ Riverdale Race. Junior athletes this season include Maren Abuzukar, Jared Gourley,Clay Bryden, Dylan Eremko, Sam Ree, Sydney Crowe, Ashley Jones, Bray Crowe, Chase Bowman; seniors are Braden Gourley, Jordan Bush, Ryley Miller and Chelsea Katuski competed. They brought home a lot of ribbons! Then last weekend they ran on challenging home turf as they hosted J. R.’s annual Autumn Challenge. Mr. Woodward’s Grade Ten Physical Education students followed the current for two days down the North Saskatchewan River on September 26 and 27. The afternoon of Friday, September 30, was action-packed! The annual magazine fundraiser kicked off as students were sent home with offerings of thousands of magazine titles as well as selling incentives. The profits from students’ sales go towards activities and events that students organize and plan such as dances, contests and festivities. The school hosted a special
presentation featuring African Dancer, Jackie Essombe. J. R. then participated in the Terry Fox Walk by hitting the pavement in one large group, walking approximately two kilometers throughout town. Students were treated afterwards to freezies, on the house! J. R.’s annual Fall Supper is around the corner! In efforts to raise funds for our sports teams, starting this week students will be selling tickets to the event to take place at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. on October 20, 2016. Tickets may also be purchased at the school office. $12.00/adult, $10.00/ child Grade 1 to 6, $10.00/Seniors 60+,
preschool and younger free, $40.00/family (2 adults + children in school).

who then passed by the fire truck’s spray. Many laughs were heard and a new tradition was possibly created! Jillian Bowtell, nutritionist and lifestyle coach from Right Here & Now Nutrition, spoke to the Foods 20-30 class with Mrs. Christensen last week. She taught the students about proper nutrition based on their Basal Metabolic Rate and helped the students prepare meal plans. A little change this year to secondary intramurals was having students c h o o s e a t h r e e - p e r s o n te a m a n d compete in a tournament style bracket during the noon hours. They started with volleyball and have the kids compete in three sets to 15. Open Houses for many colleges and
21
universities are occurring in the next few weeks, be sure to check out the websites or ask Mrs. McCullough for more information. And Grade 12 students will need to set up a MyPass account with Alberta Education to access Diploma exam results and transcripts. The PAC fall fundraiser this year is supporting local agricultural producers! Farm to School is a healthy choice fundraiser consisting of packages of Alberta grown vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onion, parsnips and cabbage), at or below supermarket prices. Produce bundles can also be purchased to support our school Hot Lunch program or local Food Bank! Along with the vegetables, Simply Bee honey and beeswax products will also be avail-
able for purchase. These products are produced locally in the Irma area! Several unique products are available, and will make great stocking stuffers! Order forms will be available from all Mannville School families before Thanksgiving. Proceeds from these fundraisers help support school projects like the Learning Commons upgrade to the library, academic awards, and the school breakfast program. Join in at PAC’s first family/community movie night on Oct. 5 at 7p.m. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” It is $5 per person/$20 per family and it includes popcorn and a drink.

Champions Are Made In Practice Susanna Pankiw, Dewberry School Submitted
Staff and students at Dewberry School spent the month of September warming up for the long run ahead of them. A bell represented the new school year’s starting gun and bright eyes and smiling faces launched off the little yellow busses and strode into their classrooms. Over the last few weeks they have set the pace, practiced routine procedures and discovered new terrains. The start of the new year brought with it the love of volleyball and the exuberance of cross country running. Students in both sports have already acquired many skills on their path to mastering their game. Cross country runners have participated in three races and obtained the following placings: Hardisty Invitational: Savana Deibert-7 Keagan Rewuskigold; Riverdale: J’Lea Admussen-7, Jaden Nowosad-9, Laramie Parr-9, Ethan Warawa-2, Brenton Romanchuk-5, Wyatt Dyck-9, Savana Deibert-9, Keagan Rewuski-gold, Baron’s Invitational: Wyatt Dyck-21, Savana Deibert 14 and Keagan Rewuski-gold! What a fantastic begin to the season! Awesome running, Panthers!! Volleyball members have dashed around the court and “set” themselves up for playoff rounds. Junior high girls placed fourth at the Marwayne tournament on September 10 while the senior girls got first in their pool but lost their match to J.R. Robson in the finals by a close margin. Way to go girls, keep rockin’ the court! The junior boys will have competed in a few games/tournaments by the time this goes to print. Good luck, boys.
The junior high Outdoor Education class had a battle of a special kind the evening of September 26. These participants raced against time, or rather the sinking of the sun, to construct lean tos and build somewhat cozy campsites. Once these arduous tasks were completed, they enjoyed some fun outdoor activities and a quick and easy supper before braving the elements and testing out the quality of their sleeping quarters. September would not have been complete without the annual participation in the Terry Fox Run. Dewberry School`s goal was to raise $1500. Involvement of this event was community wide, many parents and their children partook in the run/walk. It’s was a wonderful way to share in the experience and the continuance of a dream of such a great Canadian hero. As September wound down, we could feel the year beginning to heat up. We ended the month off with an orange shirt celebration in Marwayne. Students from grade three to eight joined in an acknowledgement of Treaty 6 and a discussion about the meaning of Orange Shirt Day, which essentially recognizes that “everyone matters”. They also enjoyed drummers and dancers from Frog Lake. What an incredible afternoon to appreciate the culture of our First Nations people of Canada. Just like the seconds ticking on the racing clock the school hours flew by and September concluded with a phenomenal finish. We anticipate continued successes as we turn another bend in our 10 month marathon of learning.

Comeback Win In Wainwright For Marauders Football
Cathy Wolters Submitted
Two successive Friday night high school football games, both under the lights and both with scoring late in the game, couldn’t have been more different for the Vermilion Marauders. In Wainwright on September 30 the Marauders came back twice, down 28-14 at the end of the third quarter and again after the Commandos scored a field goal to break a 28-28 tie with two minutes left in the game. The previous week, the Holy Rosary Riders scored with 18 seconds left on the straight time clock to run up the score to 55-0. In that game, the Marauders knew they knew they faced a bigger, stronger, more experienced team whose reputation doesn’t include mercy even when the scoreboard is lopsided. And, the young, inexperienced team would have to view success by individual victories within plays. Those successes included the Marauders opening drive that brought them into the red zone, but ended with an interception on the seven-yard line. Another small win was keeping the Raiders off the scoreboard until late in the first quarter. The next came early in the second when the Marauders denied a two-point conversion attempt by shutting down a run up the middle. Rookie quarterback Jacob Kotowich, who is only in grade nine, also showed composure passing against the Rosary defence. But it was running back Brayden Chilibeck who threw for the biggest yardage in Wainwright. Facing third and nine on their own 36 with 91 seconds on the clock, Chilibeck connected with Tanner Throndson for a 55-yard strike to the Commando 19. Pierce Joa put the Marauders four yards closer to the goal line before Chilibeck wove and powered his way to the end zone. David Wilson provided the convert
and the Marauders led 35-31 with 1:01 on the clock. Wainwright didn’t give in. Quarterback Carter Lawson called his own number and fought from inside his own 45 to the Marauder 35 with 32 seconds on the clock. But the Commandos wouldn’t get any closer. After an incomplete pass, Chilibeck sacked Lawson. Then, on the final play Hayden Usenik and Kyle Theiss downed Lawson behind the line of scrimmage. The Marauders controlled the game early, scoring on their first possession. Following a short kick off, Pierce Joa started on what became 154 rushing yards going from his own 48 to inside the Wainwright 25. He carried from the 20 to the one. But it would take three tries for the Marauders to score with Joa pushing into the end zone from the three. The convert gave them a 7-0 lead. Vermilion scored again at 8:16 of the second quarter. Chilibeck’s determination provided most of the offense including a 36-yard touchdown run where he found daylight from his blockers and used his speed to power to the end zone. As Wilson was injured on the drive, Chilibeck also kicked the convert. Wainwright would respond with two majors of their own, the first a long penalty filled drive after the Marauder kick-off with 4:43 left in the half. The Commando kickoff put the Marauders back on their own seven after Ryder Budden mixed it up with Lawson and was ejected from the game. A fired up Wainwright defence forced a two and out giving their offence the ball on their own 44 at the three minute warning. They tied the game with 1:36 left in the half. It appeared that the Marauders recaptured the lead on a reverse. Carter Usenik took the ball from his own 30 and outran all the defenders to the end zone. The touchdown was negated by a holding call. Wainwright did the only scoring in the third quarter with a touchdown on their first drive and another major with 3:16 left

It came after a Commando interception, the third of the quarter. Earlier Car ter Usenik picked of f Lawson and then Colton Ryall picked off Kotowich. Brayden Cornish’s pick plus a horse collar tackle penalty against the Marauders gave Wainwright first and goal from the 1. But the banged up Marauders would rally. On the last play of the quarter, Joa fought his way to the Wainwright 12. Despite a mix-up on the hand off, he battled for close to first down yardage on the first play of the fourth quarter. In a repeat of the last Commando touchdown, a horse collar tackle put the Marauders first and goal from the one. Chilibeck scored. But, he was denied on a two point convert attempt and the Marauders trailed 28-20 with just 36 seconds gone in the last quarter. Three minutes later another Chilibeck touchdown was brought back on a holding call. However, the Marauders retained possession starting 1st and 20 from the Wainwright 30. Two Commando penalties put the Marauders 1st and goal from the 10. On third and goal from the three, Chilibeck went wide to score. He also scored the two-point convert as the offensive line provided a big push to carry him over the goal line. With more than half of the final quarter remaining the score was knotted at
28. Wainwright maneuvered the ball down to the Vermilion 12 and on third and five opted to try a field goal. An attempted timeout call, they didn’t have one left, turned into a delay of game call and the ball went back another 10 yards. However Mr. Everything Lawson made the 25-yard field goal putting the Commandos up by three with two minutes left in the game. Buoyed by their lead, the Commando defense limited Chilibeck to a yard and then caught Joa at the line of scrimmage. On the third down Chilibeck connected with Throndson to set up the winning touchdown. The win came with a banner for the Autumn Bowl title. Marauders points after: Last week’s story wasn’t printed due to a technical difficulty at the Voice…Chilibeck has thrown passes previously including touchdown strikes last year…Wainwright’s bench is even shorter than the Marauders with an official roster of 26, but just 22 dressed on Sept 30…There was a lot of orange in the game and not because people were participating in national Orange Shirt day. The Marauders had two touchdowns brought back on penalties...With Wilson sitting for a few plays after limping off the field, Brazilian exchange student Gus Rattmann did a kick-off…Chilibeck had over 250 rushing yards in the game.
