A large group gathered at the Vermilion Cenotaph on November 11, to take in the Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony.

Bagpipes and drums filled the air as the parade of Legion members, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Government dignitaries, and Emergency Medical Services personnel made their way from the Legion to the Cenotaph.

‘O Canada’ was sung and two minutes of silence was observed to remember those who have served. Bill McIldoon read ‘In Flanders Fields,’ followed by a procession of laying wreaths.

MP Shannon Stubbs shared a Remembrance Day speech, and Legion President Garry Zayac read a letter from MLA Richard Starke. Mayor Bruce MacDuff also shared a few words of remembrance.

Prayers were offered to show appreciation for past service and the protection of current serving members by a few local

clergy members. ‘God Save The Queen’ was sung, and many joined together at the Legion following the service for lunch and comradeship.

WWII D-Day Veteran, Elwood Hill travelled from Vegreville to attend the special ceremony.

Raised 12 miles south of Vermilion, Hill spent three and a half years serving the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps from 1942 - 1945. He served in the 3 rd Canadian Infantry Division and 23rd Field Ambulance.

“It was June 4, 1944 when the Canadian army hit the coast of France. I travelled through France, Belgium, Holland, and Germany before the war ended,” said Hill.

A past pastor, Hill continues to enjoy having lots of family in the surrounding area.

Another attendee was WWII Veteran, Ken Gilbert, who served as military police in the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1941

- 1945. Gilbert travelled through Holland, Belgium, France and Germany.

“I was on the boat with the other boys when they were preparing to invade on D-Day, but I got called off due to having a broken arm. I didn’t get back to my outfit until they were half way through Holland.

I was at the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp when it was liberated. The army remained there for two days after, and I chose to stay in Germany until 1946.

I had the privilege of meeting Ontario’s Eva Olssen when she spoke in Vermilion. Olssen was a Jewish prisoner at the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp when she was 18-years-old,” said Gilbert.

A family member went on to say that the army had rescued Olssen, and that she had always wanted to meet one of the fellows who freed her. They believe the exchange was mutually enjoyed. Gilbert continues to enjoy lots of visits from family in the surrounding area. Continued on WWII Veteran Ken Gilbert at the Vermilion page 2 to 4.

Legion on November 11.

We are now poised to charge forward into the future together, creating a relevant and successful Co-op for future generations.

We look forward to serving you as Cornerstone Co-op as of January 29, 2017.

Remembrance Day Remembered Forever

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #11, 2645 Vermilion Army Cadets and guests visited V.E.S, St. Jerome’s and J.R. Robson schools on November 8, honouring Canadian Veterans and the present Canadian military who continue to serve.

The VES Remembrance Day ceremony opened with the March of Colours and O Canada. A minute of silence was followed by a commitment to remember and wreath-laying by students. The ceremony ended with the song ‘Soldiers Cry’ sung by the VES K-6 choir.

St. Jerome’s School remembered women’s roles in the Canadian Forces today and ‘I will remember you’ by Sarah McLachlan was played for a packed

gymnasium at St. Jerome’s School as everyone watched a video and reflected in silence.

Shae Collins and Breanna Maughan acted as MC for the ceremonies. After the March of Colours, the Vermilion Royal Canadian Legion was piped in by Barry Roth, Cheradyn Bessette, Sadie Granigan and Marie Pottle leading into “O Canada.” A Remembrance Day message was read from MLA Dr. Richard Starke.

The students showed respect during the solemn portion of the service as the “Act of Remembrance – The Ode” was read

by Ethan Campbell.

Two students from each class laid wreaths and the ceremony ended with the Grade 4 class leading those gathered in the singing of “God Save the Queen” and the Marching out of the Colours.

J.R. Robson School learned about Canada’s role in the Cold War when guest speaker Veteran Delano Winston spoke about his experiences.

“It is the soldiers who have given us our freedom,” he said as he urged students to remember.

Students from all schools took time in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day to learn about its significance as they created artwork and made wreaths.

The poem In Flanders Fields written

by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was also recited for students.

Between 1914 and 1918, over 650,000 Canadians served at home and overseas, with both Canadian and British land, air, and naval forces. Along the Western Front in Belgium and France, Canadian soldiers distinguished themselves in numerous

J.R. Robson

battles, including Second Ypres (1915), Vimy Ridge (1917), and Passchendaele (1917).

In the last Hundred Days of the First World War, Canadian “shock troops” played a major role in breaking through the enemy’s trench defenses.

On September 3 a combined Canadian, British and American force made the first full-scale invasion of mainland Europe, attacking on the ‘toe’ of Italy and reaching Naples on October 1. Canadian troops fought at Ortona and Monte Cassino and in May 1944 took part in the costly, but successful, attack on the Hitler line: the first major operation by a Canadian corps in the 1939 - 1945 War. The battle northwards through Italy continued to the war’s end and ultimately cost the lives of nearly 6,000 Canadians.

Lorna Hamilton Editor

If you were asked to picture family violence, how would you? If you were asked to put forth a definition of family violence, how would you define it?

Most people picture family violence as a woman or child curled up in a corner beaten black and blue and would define it as the physical assault against a member of your family. But, in fact, according to the Canadian Department of Justice, the definition of family violence is when someone uses abusive behaviour to control and/or harm a member of their family, or someone with whom they have an intimate relationship.

Did you know that family violence is not only the physical aspect? Family violence includes many different forms of violence including physical, emotional, sexual, financial as well as neglect carried out by family members or intimate partners. A person or persons suffering from family violence may not be suffering from just one form; it can include a single act of violence or numerous acts consistently that form a pattern such as the physical aspect along with emotional or financial aspects, or they could be experiencing all forms of violence in the same situation.

Did you know that beating the hell out of your partner or children is not the only way to commit physical abuse? A push, slap, holding someone down to let someone else assault them, locking a person in a room or tying them down can all be considered

The Brutal Truth

physical abuse.

Sexual touching or activity without consent even from your spouse is sexual abuse, forcing someone to commit unsafe or humiliating sexual acts is sexual abuse.

You may not think it, but it is!

Constant yelling, criticism, insults, destroying an individual’s belongings, making threats, name calling and threatening to hurt yourself, children or pets are all types of emotional abuse.

Taking someone’s money, withholding money to control someone, pressuring someone to sign documents such as wills are types of financial abuse.

Not providing the necessities of life such as food, shelter, clothing and failing to prevent harm to a family member are all considered types of neglect.

One of the most surprising types of violence to me, while researching about family violence, was intimate partner violence. The Canadian Department of Justice said intimate partner violence is violence or abuse that happens: within a marriage, common-law or dating relationship and at any time during a relationship, including while it is breaking down, or after it has ended where one person may want to get power or complete control over their partner. The person looking to obtain the power could tell the other person what to wear, when and where to go out, who that person can spend their time with when that person can talk to their family and friends. As a society, we often think that because we are in a relationship with another person, we have the right to control their actions somewhat,

whether it is how they dress or who they hang out with.

The problem here is the excessive control of another person’s thoughts, actions, and freedoms. It is abuse to strip away a person’s ability to think and act for themselves; it is abuse to control a person to the point they can no longer make decisions on how they want to dress. Think about it, for just one second, would you want to be told when you could speak to your family, would you want to be told you could not wear a certain article of clothing or when or if you could see your friends? We as a society have taught ourselves that this is acceptable behaviour and it’s not!!

Family violence often starts out as a push here and a poke there or a word said here, and a word said there, and it can quickly escalate into severe violence and even death.

I wish I had the space to go into great depth regarding family violence as it is not just the individual experiencing the violence, all members of society are affected by family violence, we just do not realize it.

Our children who are growing up in homes where they witness or are a victim of family violence are at risk for lifelong effects. You may think a child who doesn’t bare witness to the actual act of violence is not affected by it, but they are. They are not blind or stupid, they see the bruises, they hear the voices whether it is yelling or crying, and it is an image and a sound they will carry all their lives! Children who grow up in family violence are at a greater risk of abusing themselves. They are at a greater

editorial

risk of developing emotional, behavioural and developmental issues.

In a 2010 survey, there were almost 99,000 victims of family violence in Canada that were reported to the police. And experts suggest the numbers may be much higher as many individuals affected by violence (such as men who are usually too embarrassed to report abuse) do not report the abuse or are unaware that the treatment they are receiving is classified as abuse.

Also, from a Canada-wide police database, at least 65 of those cases were spousal homicide. To me, those numbers are staggering.

The economic impact of family violence is also astonishing. A study conducted by the Department of Justice Canada estimates the cost of just one type of family violence - spousal violence to be about $7.4 billion a year!! The breakdown of those numbers are as follows: Victims: $ 6.0 billion in costs associated with victims seeking medical attention, their loss in wages, damages to property and pain and suffering and loss of life.

Third parties involved: More than $890 million for social service operating cost the Justice system cost: are hovering around $545 million and the criminal justice system.

So there you have it, THE BRUTAL TRUTH! November is Family Violence Awareness month, and I am trying to help raise awareness of family violence. If you or someone you know is suffering in silence from family violence I am begging you to please seek help; no one deserves to be abused by anyone, let alone a member of your family!

Letter To The Editor

Dear Editor I applaud Mr. Carlson’s letter to the Co-op about gas prices. I also called our former Co-op manager about the differences in Wainwright & Vegreville. I guess being a female he tried to dazzle me with his BS by telling me they always have gas wars in Vegreville. He failed to mention the difference for Wainwright.

I feel we are not only getting hosed by the gas prices but also by our grocery prices. Maybe Cornerstone should take notice of how many residents travel out of town to shop. I for one travel out of town to shop and I’m not ashamed to admit it. As Mr. Carlson says, it’s a day out and a savings as well.

Thank you Leona Michael

We l l i t w a s n i c e to see several days in November that were nicer than all of October, our farming fr i e n d s a n d n e i g h bours even got more crops off until the unneeded rain once again.

This next week is calling for dr y, warm and sunshine, I certainly hope so specifically for the farmers to continue saving the still standing crops. I didn’t realize there was so many crops still standing until driving to a few favorite hunting areas.

Nasty weather was a hinder towards the end of bow season, that freezing rain was worse than any snow, although I had many great opportunities for elk during bow season; I will be hanging my tag on the Xmas tree once again.

All in all though I consider the bow season a total success full of outdoor adventures, and har vesting a mule buck of a lifetime, it actually doesn’t get any better than that.

The November rifle hunting season is upon us, and I will remind those taking part to get permission and use respect for landowners, with many crops still up or cut but still on the ground, vehicle or hunting may not be allowed until crops are picked up.

My wife Roxanne and I have permission on some prime bush land and were looking for the Bull Moose Roxanne was successful in pulling the hunting draw tag for.

Although Roxanne is …well let ’s just say shor ter than most, but she can handle a big game firearm better than most full grown men, it’s also a great way to spend some quality time together. We both enjoy watching wild-

life and were seeing lots of that, all but for the moose for several days, sign was there and we did see cow and calf moose but the Bull Moose were being elusive.

This past Saturday we were up before sunrise and enjoying the morning, but once again the moose were being shy, when we got a call from my bow hunting partner Blaine who said there were two decent bulls together near their property. We met up with Blaine and he stated the two bulls separated but the bigger one wasn’t too far off, now we were going to be happy with any legal bull and antler size wasn’t going to be factor. We were simply looking to fill the freezer with some of the most excellent table fare we are still fortunate to have literally in our backyards, so Roxanne and I made our way to a high hill as a vantage point. As we crested the hill I wasn’t ready for what I saw, a bush suddenly came to life and dipped down into a small valley between two hills, the bull was moving and I thought great we are not going to see him again.

As we crested the second hill the bull stood there, not looking towards us but at what I thought was a whitetail doe deer, which gave time for the perfect shot, the bull only made it a few steps and it was over.

The deer after the stare down with the moose was now headed for more peaceful location, it was then looking through binoculars that I could see it was not a doe but a very large whitetail buck. Now normally harvesting the big buck wouldn’t even be a question, but with a huge moose laying there we had our priority’s, as we neared the moose there was no “ground shrinkage” there, it grew bigger the closer we approached. The bull with antlers 50 plus inches wide and a body like a tank was overwhelming, I was super proud of Roxanne and it was a perfect morning; of course many pictures were in order. We were both very excited and thankful, and now the work was to begin, after a lifetime of hunting I

have a pretty good system, such as a winch off the back of the truck and with a three quarter plywood truck box bed liner the moose was coming home for supper.

When we got home Miss Oohohh was in shock, we have been recently catching moles on the property and this was the biggest mole she ever seen, she was a big help as we processed the moose as you can imagine.

One of the first priority’s was tenderloins chilling in the fridge for supper, half of one was BBQ - ed per fe c tly seasoned and flipped precisely when needed …OMG tasty and tender.

Nothing goes to waste at our home, besides us the farm kitty’s, Miss Oohohh and her seemingly pet magpies all had full belly’s this weekend, they got the trimmings we got prime table fare.

During the long weekend it took me all weekend to process this monster

for the deepfreeze, but we will have outstanding meals such as stews, roasts, minute steaks and even the burger will provide prime soups, chilli, lasagnas, and of course burgers.

A reminder to watch for deer now on highways and rural roads, the deer breeding season is just starting and highway collisions will be at super high risk.

When The Smoke Clears Re c ently aske d why I ’m a hunter…aside from a way of outdoor life, self-reliance with a full deepfreeze and belly...without hunting there would be no conservation…without conservation there would be no wildlife!

There are times I think about where we all live, not all that long ago in the Ice Age, there was a kilometer of ice overhead.

Te n t h o u s a n d years ago is not that long ago in the grand scheme of Earthly time and just 7,600 years ago...an eruption at Crater Lake in Oregon covered all of southern Alberta up to Edmonton in

15 centimeters of volcanic ash. Now that would certainly grind things to a halt on the QE2.

We get those reminders...now and then...that nature is epic.

Forest fires, floods, drought...wet years.

Sometimes all of them together, 2016 for instance.

Yes...sometimes Mother Nature just doesn’t mess around, no matter how much we think we can tame her. And like we have this year...suffer some of the consequences.

I still note along the Battle River it has a couple of things that stick out for human activity: Oil wells and gravel. A product of nature of which we still take advantage. I once had a job testing crushed gravel in a pit that was just across the River and the Grizzly Bear Creek from home.

As kids, we often spent time down by those bridges: fishing on the River or

racing sticks under the creek bridge. One warm spring night in the early 90’s, driving back home in the morning at the end of a midnight shift, I rounded that last sharp curve down to the creek like I had many nights before. Except this time my headlights swung over the blackness of water: the creek had burst her banks overnight.

There wasn’t time to stop or even think, only aim between all that was left of the bridge sticking out of the rushing water: the two white wooden rail tops at each side of the bridge.

That I got through to the other side was a miracle. I can’t remember if I got out of my little Ranger and kissed the road on the other side.

The spring of ‘74 was a year often talked of by local old timers as ‘One in a Century.’ I was 6 - years - old and that was the last time I remembered the creek bursting its banks before...and boy when

it did then it was it a doozy. Dad filmed the flood chronicling it on his little Kodak Double 8 camera. There was so much water flowing we were marooned at our farm for weeks.

The Grizzly Bear Coulee looked like a man-made reservoir with several kilometers of lake built up north of SH 619.

Water was roaring out of that lake through a 6-foot culvert at maximum capacity for days and days and days.

I marvel when I see the video to this day, and I saw it then with my own eyes.

After a short nap at home, I came back down to the creek I had just crossed and just sat and watched the water go by. It ran over one entire day, and that was it.

When I think of nature...I think of that night where Mother Nature gave me a tap on the shoulder.

It has not burst its banks since that night over 25 years ago.

Bowtell Hall Hosts 22nd Annual Roast Beef Supper

Angela Mouly Reporter

One hundred and seventy people gathered at the Bowtell Hall on November 6, for their 22nd Annual Roast Beef Supper.

Now a Community Hall, the Bowtell Sc hool originally opened in 19 0 6.

Isabelle Repp and William Walker began schooling there in 1939.

“At one time, Rena Smith taught 40 children here; all in one room. In the 1940’s, oil wells started coming to the area and school buses started running, so less students came here. Margaret Barr was the last teacher here,” said Repp.

“It’s always nice to see neighbours a n d f r i e n d s a n d t o w e l c o m e n ew guests. Newcomers often enjoy the opportunity to see an old one-room school, and some are fascinated to see the old stove still in the hall. We all

Current science is showing that our body needs healthy fats, such as virgin olive oil, olives, avocado, coconut, butter, fatty fish, nuts and egg yolks. Our body needs healthy fats for the manufacture of our hormones and cell walls.

Several studies have shown that those that consume the most butter have the lowest risk of diabetes. The butyric acid in butter turns off inflammation in the brain. Secondly saturated fat in the absence of high glycemic carbs can be beneficial in that it is very stable and does not oxidize easily and can be used for the building of hormones and cell walls. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a meta-analysis on 21 different studies that tracked close to 350,000 people for over 13 years and determined that there is no correlation between saturated fat and heart disease or stroke. So that is good news for us to be able to eat how our grand-

Bacon And Onion Cabbage

parents ate, who had a lower incidence of hear t disease while eating saturated fat such as real butter, eggs, and bacon. This is very different from the older studies that have developed the low fat craze.

B ot h c a b b ag e a n d o n i o n s h ave major health benefits. Research has shown that compounds in cabbage are converted to isothiocyanates that provide protection in our bodies from breast, bladder, prostate and colon cancer. A University of Otago study in New Zealand found that the isothiocyanates in cruciferous vegetable such as cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts and cauliflower can even cause cancer cells to destruct. A study in Poland found that women that consumed 4 servings a week of cabbage had significantly lower breast cancer rates than women who consumed only one serving a week. Regularly eating raw or lightly steamed cabbage helps lower cholesterol. Cabbage is rich in antioxidants and exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in our bodies. Cabbage juice aids in the healing of stomach ulcers

and improves digestive health. While we don’t usually think of cabbage as a source of vitamin C, it is interesting to note that 1 cup of cabbage provides 50 % of the daily recommended value of vitamin C and 91% of DRV of vitamin K. Amazingly cabbage also has omega 3 in the form of alpha-linolenic acid. Cabbage scores low on the glycemic index is low in carbohydrate and is a good choice to prevent blood sugar spikes. Cabbage has only 33 calories per cup, making it a perfect diet food that is packed with healthy vitamins.

Red cabbage is a nutrient powerhouse with 6 to 8 times more antioxidant abilities than green cabbage.

Some peo ple prefer will not eat raw onions for fear of having onion breath. The good news is that cooked onions retain the beneficial nutrient, quercetin, undamaged by the heat, and cooked onions are easier on the breath than raw onions. Quercetin is a flavonoid that may inhibit the growth of certain cancers. Quercetin has been shown to lower bad cholesterol al, raise good cholesterol and be protec-

tive of the c ardiovascular system.

Onions are a natural source of querctin and chromium, which both assist in blood sugar control. Onions like garlic contain sulfur compounds that work to detox our bodies by binding to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium and then escorting them out of the body. Here is a great tasting side dish to boost your nutrition.

Bacon and Onion Sautéed Cabbage 9 slices of bacon 1 large onion, chopped 1 tablespoon butter 1 package of shredded cabbage 1 tablespoon if bacon fat Salt and pepper to taste.

Line a cookie sheet with foil and arrange the bacon on the cookie sheet. Bake the bacon at 350 degrees until done and then chop the bacon into 3/4 “ pieces. Reser ve 1 table spoon of the bacon fat. Saute the onion in the butter in a large fry pan.

When the onions are softened, add the cabbage, bacon, bacon fat, salt, and pepper. Cover with a lid and cook until the cabbage is softened.

This Christmas Make A Difference With Operation Christmas Child

Marie Conboy Reporter

Operation Christmas Child sends Christmas shoeboxes to children in poverty and war-torn countries every year. “ Christmas shoeboxes provides people of all ages the oppor tunit y to get involved in a simple, handson project of Samaritan’s Purse that focuses on the true meaning of Christmas,” explained Operation Christmas Child Volunteer Beverly Hollen, who’s been involved with the organization for over 20 years.

“The whole community participates; the Vermilion Dollar Store, Lakeland College, Vermilion Elementary School and many churches in the Vermilion

community are helping out this year.

Generally, the shoeboxes go to Mexico or the Ukraine, but this year a lot of the boxes will go to Haiti after the disaster with Hurricane Matthew.

Calgary is our distribution center for western Canada. All the items have to be new items so that they can pass through customs and you can’t send any items that could break. Vermilion’s contribution has been great over the years. Lakeland College packaged over 100 boxes last year,” said Hollen.

Hollen went on to say the reason why she has remained involved with the charity for so long is because of the excitement and anticipation of how the children must feel when they open their presents with special items

Christmas at

Kathy s Greenhouse OPEN FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON

prepared just for them.

“I have spoken to many people who have delivered shoe boxes to kids; they say it is an incredible experience. One person told me how they delivered to children in a garbage dump.

One little girl had no shoes to wear to school because her shoes were stitched up to hold them together and she was too embarrassed to go to school. What was in her shoebox? A new pair of runners.

Lives have been changed. A small shoebox can have a big impact. What goes into the box is fun, but what comes out of it is eternal. Being part of changing children’s lives all over the wor l d throug h the p ower of a

simple gift is amazing,” said Hollen.

Shoeboxes are filled by Canadians with hygiene items, school supplies, toys and are given to children regardless of gender, race, or religion.

Culturally appropriate, copies of the book entitled ‘The Greatest Gift,’ which has been translated into 130 different languages, are offered to children af ter the shoeboxes have already been distributed.

People in or near Vermilion can take shoeboxes to a local drop off location at the Edge in Vermilion (near the bowling alley) during National Collection Week from November 14 – 20.

“People need to hurry and get their shoeboxes in on time before November 20,” advises Hollen.

Louisiana Hayride Christmas Night

Marie Conboy Reporter

Well known star per formers from the Louisiana Hayride are set to sing their hits again this year in Wainwright on November 27 and in Lloydminster on November 26.

The Louisiana Hayride musicians per form in the persona of some of country music’s greatest stars; Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline. The show takes the audience through a time-travel trip through the history of country and rockabilly music.

The Louisiana Hayride is based on the countr y music radio show of

the same name that broadcast out of Shreveport, Louisiana from 1948 to 1960, which helped launch the careers of dozens if not hundreds of country greats.

“The music in this show will bring back memories from a bygone era.

This is music the audience rememb er s, e it h er fir st han d or in m any cases, it’s music they remember their parents or grandparents playing,” said Gil Risling, one of the show’s creators and performers.

Between performances there will be trivia and biographical details about the performers, putting the music and the artists in their correct context.

Andrea Anderson performing as Patsy Cline. Photos submitted

“The trivia has long been an audience favourite,” said Lori Risling, who is also a creator of the show.

“I tell the audience stories and background info between acts and they love hearing the history. A lot of it is quite surprising to them, and I always have many people tell me after a show that they enjoy it!”

Gil Risling portrays Hank Williams and Roy Orbison in the show, joined

by Andrea Anderson as Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, and William Brookfield as Johnny Cash. “ We are really looking for ward to performing in Wainwright and Lloydminster again. It was sold out shows

the last time. Everyone is welcome to come out for a night of musical fun and a trip down memory lane with music’s greats!” said Risling.

Rotary Raises Funds During Festival Of Trees For Local People Living With Cancer

Vermilion Rotary Submitted

Enjoy a delicious cookie and support a good cause at this year’s Vermilion and District Chamber of Commerce Festival of Trees event from November 24 to 26.

O n c e ag a i n t h e R o t a r y C l u b o f Vermilion will be serving refreshments and cookies during the festival to raise money to support local people who are living with cancer. Tins of cookies will also be available for sale to help you get a start on your Christmas baking.

All proceeds received from the sale, plus a Rotary club donation of $1000, will be turned over to Haying in the 30’s, an organization based out of Mallaig, Alberta which provides financial assistance to people who are currently undergoing cancer treatments.

Rotarians are aware of many people in our community and surrounding area who have been grateful to receive financial support from Haying in the 30’s. This fundraiser is a way to extend our club’s appreciation to Haying in the 30’s for the difference

they make to those individuals who live in our community. This will be the 5th year the Rotary Club of Vermilion has supported the Chamber’s event and by way of this project has raised over $10,000 for Haying in the 30’s, providing them much needed funding for local people living with cancer.

“Our club is so appreciative of the community’s ongoing support, allowi n g u s to p a s s o n t h e i r g e n e r o u s donations to continue this valuable assistance to Haying in the 30’s” said Project Chair, Dawn Riley.

There are a number of ways you can get involved to support this year’s fundraiser. The club will gratefully receive your generous donations of cookies, coffee and hot chocolate to serve at the Festival of Trees. Enjoy working alongside Rotarians and volunteer for a two hour shift during the festival.

Please plan to attend, have a beverage and some cookies, make a donation and enjoy the Festival of Trees!

Community Closet Donates To Worthy Organizations

Marie Conboy Reporter

Vermilion’s not-for-profit thrift store the Community Closet, which is run by volunteers, has been part of Vermilion since 1964, donating 100 percent of its proceeds made back into the community.

Last week Rose Hardy presented local organizations and groups donation cheques totaling $12,700 at the Community Closet on November 10.

Mannville Care Centre received $1000, the Vermilion Legion received $500, the Poppy Fund received $100, Vermilion HandVan received $2000, Santa’s Anonymous received $1000, Haying in the 30’s received $600, Vermilion Food Bank received $2000, the Nordic Ski Club received $1000, Vermilion Boy Scouts $500, Vermilion Valley Lodge $3000, Vermilion Army Cadets $500 and the Vermilion Girl Guides $500.

“We’re very grateful for this donation, and we will be putting the money towards the purchase of new equipment and funding activities,” said Robert McFadzean who

accepted the donation on behalf of the Vermilion Boy Scouts.

Legion President Garry Zayac confirmed that the Royal Canadian Legion would be using their $500 donation for this year’s Remembrance Day lunch to purchase food supplies.

Dianne Dunn said she was grateful to accept a $2000 donation for Vermilion Hand-Van. “ We will be putting this donation towards the upkeep of our Hand-Van and the cost of the insurance,” said Dunn.

Cancer Support Society Haying in the 30’s started in 1999 and had helped just under 4000 people in the area to date.

“This organization makes a huge difference in the lives of people struggling with cancer. The money will go towards helping the lives of people who need it most,” said Ted Etherington, who accepted the cheque on behalf of Haying in the 30’s.

“The Vermilion Girl Guides said they were very appreciative to the Community Closet for their funding and they will be

November is PROSTATE CANCER Awareness Month Put Away Your Razor: It’s MOVEMBER

!

For the entire month of November, the Movember campaign celebrates the moustache. Once again this year, thousands of Canadian men will follow in the footsteps of other men around the world as they grow a moustache in order to raise public awareness about men’s health.

Testicular Cancer: A Disease That Attacks Young Men

Check next weeks issue for more Movember

Why the moustache? Because it gets people talking. It is, today, rather a novelty. The different styles of moustache arouse curiosity and surprise. They also give a proud wearer the opportunity to raise awareness among friends and family of how important it is for men to take charge of their own health. Both daring and stylish, the Movember campaign invites men to take action by dissipating prejudices about male health issues.

TREATMENT AND SELFEXAMINATION The treatment of testicular cancer usually involves removal of the affected testicle combined with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The good news is that when it’s treated in time, the cure rate for this type of cancer is over 95 per cent.

It’s a good idea for men of all ages to carry out a self-examination of their testicles and have regular medical checkups in order to detect any kind of anomaly.

A man who allows his moustache to grow and who grooms it nicely right through November earns the status of “Mo Bro”.

Women can also actively support their male partners and friends by raising funds, thus becoming “Mo Sistas”.

For more information, visit http://ca.movember.com.

More information can be found on the websites www.testicularcancercanada. ca and ca.movember.com.

When detected in time , testicular cancer cure rates are over 95%

Daring and stylish, the Movember campaign invites men to grow luxuriant moustaches as a way to promote male health issues.

SYMPTOMS Some men with testicular cancer ex p er i e n c e ver y few sy m pto m s.

However, many report the following signs of the illness: • A swelling or a painless lump in one of the testicles

• An unusual sensation in the scro tum (heaviness, generalized discom fort) • Sensitivity in the groin or in the lower abdomen • A feeling of swelling in the chest

PHOTO: SIRI STAFFORD / THINKSTOCK

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, an estimated 1,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2015. Even though this illness is less prevalent in Canadians than prostate cancer, testicular cancer is the most common kind found in young men.

WHO IS AT RISK? The following factors have been demonstrated as risk factors in developing this disease: • Being between 15 and 35 years old • Being of Caucasian descent • Being born with an undescended testicle • Having a brother or father who had testicular cancer • Having a personal history of testicu lar cancer (the recurrence rate is about 25 per cent) • Having Down syndrome (Trisomy 21)

Movember, a contraction of the words “moustache” and “November”, was founded in Australia in 2003. Even though only 30 people registered in that first year, over 854,000 men participated in the global movement in 2011, raising $301 million so far.

The funds raised support programs oriented toward men’s health issues. In Canada, the proceeds are directed to the Prostate Cancer Canada foundation in support of research into that illness, the most commonly occuring cancer in the Canadian male population.

What Will Come Of Synthetic Meat?

I n E n g l a n d i n 2 0 13 , D r. M a r k Post created the first synthetic beef hamburger patty. Developing ways to create more complex tissue structure similar to that of the tissue threads found in steak is still being investigated.

Deciding whether to use stem cells or muscle cells is also a discrepancy based on growth rate.

“The beef industry is a large methane gas producer and people are beginning to look at how we can make food differently,” said Eastalta Co-op Meat

Manager for 25 years, Daryl Crooks.

Bistro In Vitro points out some of the current food related issues as being food shortage with a growing world population, global warming, energy consumption, and animal diseases.

They also note that the idea of synthetic meat has been around much longer than the practice of it. “ We s hall es c a p e t he a b sur d it y of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium,” said Winston Churchill in 1931.

Memphis Meats in California is one company currently working to produce synthetic meat using cells from cows, pigs, and c hickens.

They are convinced that the agriculture industr y and world views all together could be dramatically changed.

“It’s in the beginning stages and I think a lot more research is required.

I don’t see what is wrong with what we have. Change is inevitable, but we want to make sure that any product that goes out is safe and healthy for the public,” said Crooks.

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Kitscoty Boys Dormitor y mentioned in the October 17, issue of the Vermilion Voice, yields more tales of adventure and social education.

The original partial owner of Agland in Lloydminster and Vermilion, Ken K ay, a t t e n d e d t h e K i t s c o t y B o y s Dormitory and spoke briefly of his time there.

“I was able to walk the ten miles home on weekends to our farm outside of Blackfoot.

Ever y thing came in large quantities. For example, the vegetable soup came in gallon jugs, and there would be two opened for a meal; not individual cans,” said Kay. Kay was the President of the Student Council one year and went on to say that taking turns organizing things provided for extra fun outside of school like hockey and curling.

Ken McLennan from Islay said there were always shenanigans.

McLennan remembers the Dean of the Boys Dormitory, Jim Horn, coaching the curling team and chaperoning their trip to Edmonton for the province - wide Taylor and Pearson Curling Competition.

“Coming from a rural area, we didn’t have much confidence, and lost every game including our final game against Jasper. We were over-confident after finding out they only had three players. Rumor had it their skip had possibly been arrested the night before for stealing brooms off porches in an attempt to set up a broomball match.

Perhaps it was their first time in the big city too,” said McLennan.

Pa s t M L A fo r B o n ny v i l l e, Er n i e Isley only had t wo brother s and a neighbouring kid accompanying him in junior high. Attending the Kitscoty

Dorm Days

Boys Dorm added a lot more boys in close quarters during high school. He remembers boxing and wrestling in the basement during Phys. Ed. “For a shy little boy coming off the farm, it was quite an experience and a n eye o p e n e r h av i n g p owe r a n d running water. Posted on the wall were the 16 rules. I was told that you weren’t a dorm boy until you could break every one of them without being caught. Learning to accept change certainly helped me in later years, as my first career was a school teacher, and I entered provincial politics for 14 years serving under three Premiers in the cabinet,” said Isley.

Janet Deines, (nee) Christie and B e t t y R o h l a , (n e e) L a n e r o o m e d together at the Girls Dormitor y that was located in the old Kitscoty Hospital building. They sang, and Rohla played guitar for the school dances that were attended by students from both dormitories. Deines continues to sing with her church choir.

“It was a fun time then. Singing still gives me something to look forward to; I enjoy the social aspect that it provides to meet people,” said Deines.

Rohla who was one of the origin a l ow n e r s o f S t a n c h u k Tr u c k i n g and T’N’T Tank & Trailer Repair Ltd. continues to play guitar.

“I harmonize with my granddaughter whenever I get the chance. It is a full circle feeling as her band ‘Nice Horse’ will be coming out with their first album in January. I wouldn’t have traded the dorm years for any thing; they were wonderful times,” said Rohla.

Rober t Sheppard from Sheppard Mechanical & Welding Ltd. in Islay, remembers attending from 1954-1956.

“I enjoyed playing guitar along with a few other people for our weekly school dances. When you lived, worked, and

played with the same group of people, getting along was sometimes a challenge; but it provided many of us the necessary skills to go forward in business and life. I am fortunate to be still in touch with friends that attended the Kitscoty Boys Dormitory,” said Sheppard.

He went on to say that the area of bricks that made up the original bank building’s vault was used as a walkin cooler at the time the building was a dormitor y. To avoid anyone being locked in, a latch was put on that could be opened from the inside or outside.

Ro ber t ’s young er brother Br yan from Shep’s Sports Centre in Lloydminster attended the dormitory from 1956 -1959; and their mother, Belle S he p par d, was t he last m atro n in 1958-1959.

17

Bryan Sheppard remembers adhering to the rules being a bit like military training because there were certain hours things had to be done. Although they were pretty lenient, punishment involved being confined to barracks and extra chores.

“The facilities were nice, and the food was absolutely terrific.

T h e d o r m’s d o o r s we r e e l e c t r i fied as a type of alarm system and it wasn’t used ver y often, but there was an escape hatch from one of the upstairs rooms. A person had to be fairly athletic and climb on the roof and down the banister to access it.

One exit through the hatch for freedom provided a trip to the Marwayne Rodeo Dance.

I would n’t trad e those year s for anything!” said Bryan Sheppard.

VES staff and students gathered in our House Leagues to fill shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child on November 3. The total number of shoeboxes filled was 66. Way to go VES. The VES student drama club presented “The Velveteen Rabbit” on November 4 and 5. The students did a magnificent job under the direction of Mrs. Goodwin, Mrs. Wakefield, and Mr. Tyner. The silent auction went very well, with proceeds going towards the Hot Lunch Program. The meal and desserts

were very tasty thanks to Mrs. Jaremko’s Catering.

On November 4, author Sigmond Brouwer gave a presentation to the whole student body. For the rest of that day and on November 7 and 8, he worked with Grades 3 and 6 students on ideas for story writing.

VES held our Remembrance Day Ceremony at 9 a.m. on the morning on November 8. We would like to thank the veterans in attendance, the Vermilion Legion Branch #11, and the 2645 Vermilion Army Cadets Corps for making our ceremony that much more special.

Thank you also to school board trustee, Jim King, for attending our ceremony.

The choir club sang Highway of Heroes

and the 1- 6 students sang Soldiers Cry. Both groups did fantastic.

Teachers went to Wainwright on November 9 for an ATA Professional Learning Day. There were numerous sessions that teachers could attend that coincided with their interests and/ or the grades and subjects they taught.

We would like to thank the Buffalo Trail School Division Board for enabling us to have such a great learning day.

Both Grade 1 classes are participating in an eight-week literacy program ran by AB health services. The students participate in small group activities centered on various language skills such as rhyming, syllables, blending and segmenting words, plus more. We

are thankful to have parent volunteers and Speech & Language Pathologists Kirsten Burns and Tannis Pollard in our classroom each week to help us learn important literacy skills in a fun way.

Because of the Full Moon today, you might have disputes with someone about money, shared property, earnings or inheritances. Some kind of financial problem might come to a head. The good news is after the Full Moon peaks, the demands of this problem will be diminish.

Leo

Today you feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public status. This is the classic dilemma of the Full Moon. Cope as best you can; but you cannot ignore home and family.

Taurus

You might feel at loose ends with friends and partners because today, the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place.

Quite likely, your emotions are hyped; or you think that someone else's emotions are squirrely.

Cancer

Be patient with coworkers today because the Full Moon could trigger a difference of opinion with someone or an actual dispute. Of course, doesn't have to. However, because it's a strong possibility, be aware of this.

Dealing with friends or members of groups, clubs and classes are challenging today because of the energy of today's Full Moon. Fortunately, once the Full Moon has peaked, the problems it has introduced into your life generally fade away quickly.

Libra

Scorpio

Issues with shared property, inheritances or other financial matters are coming to a head now because today is the Full Moon.

Traditionally, this would mean these matters will be solved in the next 48 hours.

This might be the case; this might not be the case. One can only hope.

Because today is a Full Moon day, you might find relations with coworkers are strained or difficult. For many, this might not be the case. (Lucky you.) Either way, just cope as best you can but be aware that people feel emotionally volatile today.

Students wearing red in remembrance and support of our troops gathered together in the school gymnasium along with Vermilion Cadets members and numerous veterans for the 40 minute service. Shae Collins and Breanna Maughan acted as Mistresses of Ceremonies for the ceremony.

St. Jerome’s School News

Mr. Chase read a Remembrance Day message from MLA Dr. Richard Starke followed by the Grade 5 class reciting the poem, “In Flanders Field” written by Colonel John McCrea. The students showed their respect during the solemn portion of the service as the “Act of Remembrance – The Ode” was read by Ethan Campbell succeeded with the Last Post, 2 Minute Silence, and Reveille. Two students from each class then proceeded to the front of the gym for the Laying of the Wreaths. The ceremony ended with the Grade 4 class leading those gathered in the singing of “God Save the Queen” and the Marching out of the Colours. Thank you to Mrs. Clarke and Mr. MacMillan for organizing this service, as well as all those who participated to make this a very memora-

ble and meaningful service. We were very honoured that the veterans and cadets took the time to join us for lunch after the ceremony.

Congratulations to the Sr. Boys who won Silver at their home tournament.

They had a great weekend of play as they wrap up their regular season of play and begin to prepare for zones. They will travel to Fort McMurray to participate in the zones tournament on Friday, November 18. The Sr. Girls travelled to Rocky Mountain House last weekend participating in a very competitive tournament to end their season. The girls played with great determination and skill losing out in the semi-finals. The JV Girls ended their season with a victory as they brought home gold from the tournament in Bonnyville. The Sr. Girls will be participating in

zones in Cold Lake on November 18 and 19. Good luck to both of our Sr. Volleyball Spartan teams as they represent St. Jerome’s at zones.

On Halloween Day Grade 10 students embraced the spirit of helping others when they joined with the Grade one and grade one/two class to carve Jack-OLanterns.

Christmas music is heard throughout the hallways of the elementary wing as students have already begun to practice for Christmas Concert. Make sure you book your calendar for Thursday, December 15 at 7:00 for the St. Jerome’s Christmas Concert.
