2017 Vermilion Farm Curl

Angela Mouly Reporter

Thirty teams of curlers including all ages and backgrounds gathered at the Vermilion Farm Curl from January 12 - 14, to enjoy a weekend of curling, sportsmanship, and comradery.

“Vermilion Farm Curl has a longstanding history, for over 65 years it has annually been a time of entertainment and hospitality for everyone involved. It is a good way to encourage comradery and friendship within the community.

It’s a respite in the middle of a very cold winter, and an opportunity for a bit of

exercise and some fun,” said Committee Chairman, Rick Wasylik.

This year ’s opening ceremonies were led by Kerri Sinclair bagpiping down the sheet of ice, followed by local dignitaries and the first ten teams to play.

M ay o r B r u c e M a c D u f f, Ve r m i l ion Curling Club President Andrew McCrae, Vermilion Agricultural Societ y President Jay Sinclair, Vermilion Chamber of Commerce President Robert Ernst, and County of Vermilion River Reeve Darryl Watt each threw one stone to kick off the bonspiel.

“I’d like to personally thank Kerri Sinclair for stepping in on such short notice,” said Wasylik.

Piping for 35 years, Sinclair is part of the Lakeland Pipes and Drums Band and made her first ever appearance at the Farm Curl in Vermilion this year.

In i t i a l l y a n at i o n a l c o m p et i t i o n, Vermilion Farm Curl began as the Massey-Ferguson Bonspiel hosted by Webb’s Machinery.

Malanka Rings In The New Year Ukrainian Style

Reporter

The Vermilion Ukrainian Cultural Association rang in the New Year with a Malanka dance celebration at the Vermilion Regional Centre on Saturday, January 14.

A packed hall turned out to watch the per formances. Samotsvit danc-

ers jumped high, twirled, hopped and stepped across the stage in their colorful traditional costumes.

“We have seven groups of dancers performing tonight ranging in ages from as young as 3-years-old to over 18,” laughed President of the Ukrainian Cultural Association, Jason Stelmaschuk who participated in the show with the adult group.

Members from the senior group in their Transcarpathian costumes Angelica Bosgra and Derek Venance.

“We have amazing facilities here in Vermilion and there is great support every year from everyone in the community. The children always look forward to performing for everyone so it’s a win-win all round, added Stelmaschuk” Twelve numbers representing different styles of dance and regions of the Ukraine were performed.

“You don’t have to be Ukrainian to join or dance, anyone can do it,” said Stelmaschuk.

The dance per formances were followed by a meal of traditional Ukrainian foods including perogies and cabbage rolls.

The 2017 Ukrainian Dance Festival will run this year from April 21 to 23.

No Lives Lost In Severe White-out Conditions

Reporter

Severe blizzard conditions made road travel dangerous in the County of Vermilion River on January 11.

Zero visibility left many vehicles off the road, and emergency crews were busy responding to car collisions. Vermilion RCMP and RCMP detachments from surrounding areas issued no travel warnings and closed both Highway 16 and 41.

Vermilion Fire Chief Bill Roth said that it was the “worst white-out conditions” he had ever seen on the Highways.

“Our crews were busy north of Vermilion on Highway 41. We made sure that all vehicles were off the road and that the people

were out of the vehicles, and then we pulled out because there was zero visibility.

Nobody should have been out; you couldn’t see five feet in front you! But it was a good day as there was no loss of lives,” said Fire Chief Roth.

Director of Fire and Emergency Services, Orest Popil also said that it was the worst weather conditions he had ever seen.

“Every emergency responder out there said the same thing; that they had never been in any storm like that before! There were many cars that went off the road, but we only had four serious incidences where there were injuries and people got transported to the hospital.

We had crews from Dewberry, Cland-

onald, and Derwent that responded to help on Highway 41 and 45, where there was a head-on collision originally, when another individual arrived on the scene subsquently hitting the ditch. On Range Road 520 and Highway 41, there was a vehicle that rearended a semi.

We were okay with crew numbers, but some of the incidences took longer in duration than we wanted to be out on the Highway in those conditions. However, we had crews on standby ready to go, and they weren’t needed, so we were not overwhelmed.

There were a lot of vehicles in the ditch with the total white-out conditions on Highway 16 but overall people respected the

conditions and speeds were down. I would like to thank everyone who respected the conditions by driving slow. We were lucky that there were not a lot of wrecks out of a storm like that,” said Popil.

This week is Minor Hockey Week, and it ’s o nly fit t ing to acknowledge all the hard work and dedication both guys and girls put into their sport. The children, parents, and coaches spend many hours in practice and travelling all over their zones to play hockey so I can draw one conclusion; they must really love the sport and the benefits it provides as in any extracurricular activity.

With so many activities available such as hockey, volleyball, basketball, football, dance, figure skating and gymnastics there are plenty of ways to stay active.

Of course, not every child or teenager is a sports fan, and that is completely understandable; we all have our likes and dislikes, but I feel it is important for our children to participate in some form

of extracurricular activity to give them the opportunity to learn different life skills.

If your children are anything like mine were, a sport certainly wasn’t their activity of choice, but why not consider activities like drama, band, girl guides, brownies, piano or voice. The list of things a child can do is endless.

When we think of involving our children in extracurricular activities, we often find ourselves sitting with a pen and paper wondering if there is any way we can afford it. It’s a big decision, and the cost can be enormous, but the benefit of having your child participate is sometimes more beneficial than anyone can imagine.

A child with low self-esteem, for example, can flourish into a child with endless selfconfidence when given the opportunity to blossom and grow. It can give your child the opportunity to learn responsibility and time management skills that they will need in life. It can help prevent your child from getting involved in the risky behav-

The Vermilion Voice | January 16, 2017

iors that many of our young children face every day in the outside world. If you give your child a productive activity, one that makes them feel they are accomplishing something it can help keep our teenagers away from the party scene. It can help our children learn to be independent and strong individuals, giving them the much needed social skills to succeed.

As a parent, I can completely understand the stresses of trying to get your children involved in an outside activity, and the financial strain it can place on a family unit, but there are ways of doing extracurricular activities without all the expense.

As a child, my friends and I invented plenty of ways to keep ourselves active and occupied so we didn’t get into much trouble.

We would go outside and play neighborhood tag, or we went out with our flashlights searching for night worms so we could go to the numerous ponds for

trout fishing. We would go to the pond swimming and spend countless hours swimming with all our friends. We played baseball in an empty parking lot. You name it we did it in the summer.

During the winter months, we did become a little less active. However, we did spend many days out tobogganing, having snowball fights, building snowmen and ice skating on a frozen over pond. No one would ever say they were bored like you hear so many times a day from children now.

Extracurricular activities don’t have to break the bank; the key is to get involved in our children’s lives. As parents, we often look at the dollar figure and think “I can’t afford this or that.” Lace up a pair of skates, grab the baseball and bat, or fishing pole and just encourage your children to chose the productive side or life instead of the destructive side of life, it’s pretty simple and does not cost you a fortune.

crimes against people, 5 are domestic related, 3 are related to mental health concerns, and 37 other calls for service.

During this time, 36 Criminal Code charges and 11 Provincial (tickets) charges were laid.

Files of note: Vermilion RCMP responded to numerous complaints of individuals receiving

harassing phone calls and text messages of a sexual nature. Jim Wilson (29) was identified as a suspect and after an extensive investigation, determined to be the individual responsible. Wilson was subsequently arrested and charged with various Criminal Code charges including harassing communications and failing to comply with his probation order. Wilson remains

in custody.

Vermilion RCMP responded to a complaint of an assault at a rural residence. Investigation revealed a 21 year old male had assaulted two individuals before fleeing the residence. The suspect was known to the victims. The suspect, Riley O’Hagan, has not been located and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Headstone Mystery Solved the studding. How it had come to be there could not be explained, and indeed, there were those who questioned whether it was an authentic grave-marker or simply stage property used in one of Islay’s Pierrot shows. For a short time, it stood at the end of Karl Marklund’s lot, placed there by a practical joker. Investigations revealed that it was a grave-marker, and repairs were made to it. The painting was touched up, and a coat of weatherproof varnish

applied. Frank Robinson set it in place in the Vermilion Public Cemetery.” “ It ser ved its purpose for a time.

Having stood there for a while, it likely disintegrated from the weather,” said Ronaghan.

Historian Allen Ronaghan set the record straight regarding the Mary Ann Price Headstone Mystery.

Editor of ‘There Will Always Be An Islay’ History Book; Ronaghan was working at the Morrison Museum in Islay in 1977. During this time, he assisted Ed Holzinger in taking down the old McNeely barn.

“It sure left people wondering,” said Ronaghan.

After discovering the curious piece, the headstone was taken to Ronaghan’s farm, where it was touched up with black and white paint and treated with varnish.

The Price Grave-Marker excerpt from ‘There Will Always Be An Islay’ reads as follows: “When Mrs. Mary Ann Price, of Hindville, died in 1918 she was buried in the Vermilion Public Cemetery. The family arranged for a grave-marker of two-inch fir planking with a suitable inscription painted on it in black. But someone made a mistake; the grave-marker was mislaid, and the grave in the Vermilion Public Cemetery remained unmarked for over 52 years.

It was a nice quiet weekend this past; with most of the holid ay season behind us, things are returning to a normal routine, at least for me anyways it was nice to have time to relax.

Maybe relax isn’t the most fitting word as I was still busy outdoor s, mostly I was preparing for our new family members in a couple of weeks, and that didn’t seem like a chore.

Although to properly build another big kennel I will have to wait until spring, and the ground is thawed.

However a temporary one will do for the young pups until then.

I w ill b u il d i t ex te n d e d of f M i s s Oohohh’s kennel and utilize par t of the barn addition, that will take a little more work as it will need metal sheet shingle and a little reinforcing but it’s perfect, it will have three stalls plenty big for even full grown dogs.

The barn addition has electricit y and natural gas hook ups that I never utilized, but it will come in handy, once cleaned to the concrete floors it looked and worked out awesome they will be very comfortable.

chain link fence outside for now and in spring switch that to seven foot high plus some of the four-foot stuff buried two feet deep and wide, as Alaskan Malamutes are known for their jailbreak out skills.

I have had malamutes go over the eight-foot high fence, or tunnel dug holes under then I could crawl through with little problem, as far as I know Miss Oohohh’s kennel is escape proof.

As this new one will also be, but for now it just needs to contain a couple of wily pups till spring or at least until when they get a little bigger, I didn’t want to risk putting them all together in the same kennel.

It’s not that I think Miss Oohohh will be mean or purposely hurtful, but she is still just a rambunctious pup herself, t he Alaskan M alamute bree d st ay pups for at least three years, so she likes to play and may overpower the new pups.

So for a while I will keep them separate, now these pups are of the giant variety, and it won’t take long for them to possibly overpower Miss Oohohh, and I’m sure they will make her look like a pup.

I cut archways in the barn, so they have full access to shelter, the prior livestock stalls are big so that they will have lots of room inside and out, and two feet of fresh straw will keep them happy and warm.

I a l s o h ave a ve r y l a r g e p o r t a ble kennel inside the stall; it is fully enclosed in a heavy duty and durable nylon cover like a tent, it even has clear plastic windows so that they will

5

be snug as bugs once filled with straw.

Now it would take an adult Malamute about t wo minutes to escape from a four-foot high chain link fence, but this will work until the thaw, I will plow snow around the base to prevent tunneling.

I’m super excited, they will be a handful and will demand a lot of time, but I have done that all my life, so that won’t be overwhelming for me, I actually even went to a financial adviser discussing retirement plans.

I would like to fully retire just to take care of my fur baby family, it certainly would take up a lot of time, and most people say I would get bored if I had any early retirement, they don’t know me well.

I think if I retired there wouldn’t be enough hours in a day I would have so much on the go …ha ha, I truly believe that to be true, can only hope to test that theory soon.

The snow is starting to accumulate, may get out and test those new snowshoes that didn’t get used last year due to lack of snow, Ice fishing is said to be great all over, get out there.

When The Smoke Clears As I get older and wiser I come to realize…woman and cats will do as they please…men and dogs should simply relax and get used to the idea.

The Marks We Leave

Franklin Wolters Missing You! Forever Franklin If you have a story or adventure you would like to share with our readers, about or with Franklin, please feel free to submit.

James Wolters Columnist

When we first moved to our acreage, it didn’t take long to notice that the original owners h a d b e g u n m a ny initiatives that had fallen by the wayside with the subsequent owners. Of each them had fitted in their own pieces to a puzzle with the sides already finished. We simply took over the task of deciphering the unfinished inside from the ones before. I suppose that is what separates moving into a place that has been previously inhabited opposed to starting out from scratch: equal parts archeology and discovery.

Some pieces were obviously remaining and fitted into place, like the HAM

radio tower. Some are holes in the puzzle, but enough signs left to know what it should have looked like: a circular pond with an island for waterfowl, fowl enclosures outside and inside the barn…the original owner had been an avid hobbyist of geese, pheasants, and peacocks.

Some were discovered by accident like a shale path buried by years of leaves and moss, another by our chickens digging out in the trees: old beer bottles and trash discarded which lead to a neighbour relating stories about a history of bush parties on the property. Digging out a rock beside a stack of rotten firewood by the barn lead to the unburying of pieces of garage floor concrete and (amazingly) with them a discarded buffalo skull (hanging wire attached)…which I mistook for just another piece of firewood at first.

One person’s trash I suppose is another person’s treasure: it now safely adorns a wall near our fireplace. We have since filled in more of our puzzle building playsets, a chicken coop, a garden, and recovering and adding to existing trails. We get to use them now for cross country skiing and collecting firewood…and someone else in the future may pick up our unfinished puzzle pieces to ponder over why

they are all there.

Growing up on our farm there too were interesting signs, if you knew where to look, left by others I had never met. Dad pointed out wagon ruts from the original Battleford Trail on spots where the prairie wool had not been cultivated. In the coulee, there are indications where the trail had been carved to ease the path uphill as it was one of the bigger obstacles on the route between Battleford and Edmonton.

Dad also pointed out further west where the original telegraph station was built in the 1870’s…40 years before anyone really settled near it. I’ve read a story online from a collector of telegraph insulators that it may have been burned at one point during the 1885 North-West Rebellion… so not sure if that is true or not. It certainly would have been patrolled by the NWMP on a horse for a few years until the line was abandoned.

In their farming days, my parents wore more trails through the coulee driving vehicles and grain trucks to access the fields that were adjacent around it… going straight across was in most cases the shortest route though often a far more hairy trip. Dad also had his airstrip leveled and a lower road made by grader up from

the corral by the creek to a gate at the far southeast field. Although abandoned and overrun by poplars and sage brush…you can still tell it is there and the view from the top of the ridge at the end is pretty amazing. The airstrip remains…though a bit bumpier to land on for the Gophers that still manage to reside.

It hasn’t seen a plane in years but who knows…someday perhaps?

Hunting this fall, I must have crossed the actual trail of footsteps Anthony Henday and his guide Attickasish left back in 1754 when one of their party was killed by a Grizzly Bear giving one of the few names left to a place from a distinctive episode of his journey. Well...other than the recently completed 4.3 billion dollar freeway we Albertan taxpayers now drive on today that bears his name. I’m lucky…I can appreciate them both in person.

Although it is easier to fill in the puzzle of the ones before us by seeing and experiencing it ourselves, there does not always have to be marks left to appreciate them. They are sure nice to have around though…the arrow of time can reverse, we can sense their presence, and imagine to ourselves what it was like when they were there.

jump into and a spot where we could play dodgeball. Members of our Cleaver Kids Club were invited to come along as well as members siblings. Then for supper, we went to Red Robins and afterward, to an Oil Kings game. The Oil Kings played the Vancouver Giants, and sadly they lost.

However we still had a good time going to the new arena, Rogers Place, and some of us even got on the big screen. We are looking forward to the rest of this year. Our next event will be our club communications.

Dawn Hames Columnist

Last week, local residents had to deal with a sudden winter storm, which created white out conditions on the roads, stranded vehicles, closed highways and extreme temperatures which caused power outages in towns and rural areas. A lady that I work with told me that she was totally unprepared for the recent power outage. They awoke to no water, only three candles and a cold house with two children. An unpredicted emergency situation can hit at any time. It is important to be prepared.

Watch the weather, upcoming storms, whether they be they snow, blizzard, extreme temperature or funnel clouds all have the potential to create an emergency situation. When you see this potential, it is always a good idea to fill some

columnist

Emergency Prepared

containers with drinking water, a sink and perhaps half a bathtub. Let me tell you why. When the power goes out, the ability of the water to come out of the tap is lost.

A kitchen sink of water, allows you to wash your hands, if for example you are making a sandwich and you have mayonnaise on your fingers. If you have some water in a bathtub, you can scoop it out with an empty ice cream pail and use it to flush your toilet. The Government of Canada emergency webpage recommends two liters of water per person, per day to drink.

Empty 2 liter pop bottles can be quick and an easy container to fill before the power is lost.

Next you may need to keep warm. If you don’t have a fireplace, candles are important necessities to have on hand. Stock up on candles. You will also need matches.

Always place candles on safe surfaces, such as cookie sheets, and away from anything combustible, and never leave them unattended. A word of caution, really cheap

candles can be an additional combustible hazard. Spend the extra buck and be safe. A makeshift space heater can be made using a terra cotta clay pot and tea lights. The tea lights are placed lit on the clay saucer, white the pot is turned upside down over the tea lights. Two non-combustible items such as metal cake pans, or bricks, will hold the clay pot up enough to allow ample oxygen to the tea lights. The tea lights heat the clay pot, which will radiate heat. Another word of caution, don’t buy tea lights in the clear plastic holder (a hazard) , select the metal ones instead. There are also survival heaters that are made out of a metal tin with a lid, a roll of toilet paper and rubbing alcohol.

Fire pots, which burn a gel alcohol can be useful to have in an emergency situation.

You can even roast a wiener or marshmallow over them.

If the house is really cooling off, go into one of the smaller rooms, with your family and your candles. To feel warmer, try 2 pairs of socks, an extra sweater, a toque and a

scarf. You can cozy up under blankets as well. When the power goes out, you may not have access to the internet, a wonderful source of survival ideas. Internet and phone access may depend on whether the towers have been impacted by the emergency. It is best to have a hard copy of your emergency plan, and be prepared in advance.

Other useful items are flashlights, a battery operated radio and batteries, canned food, a can opener, energy bars and some cash money. In an extreme emergency, filtered and boiled water can be purified with 2 drops of household bleach to one liter of water, or 3 drops of 2% tincture of iodine per liter of water. Always wear rubber gloves when handling bleach.

When traveling during the winter a full tank of gas, an emergency candle in a tin, matches, bottled water and a cell phone charger are important. Extra socks, mitts, toques and a small strong shovel are recommended for motorists to have in their vehicle during the snow months.

The students in Mrs. Ambrock ’s Recreation Leadership class were busy before Christmas break making a game out of cardboard. Their game had to involve some aspect of physical activity. Students then set up their game in the multi-purpose room at school, and everyone was able to test out the games others had made. Most recently, the students have been planning and building a Rube Goldberg machine. The students seem to be excited about this project!

We attended our first mass of 2017 this week as a school community. Staff members helped out with readings and presentations of the gifts. Thank you to Mrs. Sanson and the French 10 students for being the choir and leading us in our singing. Father Roger’s inspirational words engaged the students throughout the service giving them words of wisdom to reflect upon. Father Roger was also in our school Thursday afternoon to visit four classrooms answering any questions they may have about the Catholic Faith. Father Roger visits every Thursday afternoon when his schedule allows it, and the students are always excited to see him.

St. Jerome’s will once again be participating in the Boston Pizza Operation Education from January to June.

Remember if you enjoy a night out at

We were only back to school for one day when we had our first 2017 assembly on January 10. Mrs. Doherty led the assembly, talking to the students about following our mantra of being the best we can be. Mrs. Mannix, Director of Transportation for BTPS, came by to hand out prizes to the five winners of the School Bus Safety Poster Contest (Jenna Stewart, Chloe Fillion, Ethan Nelson, Phoenix Wilson, and Connor Ryan). Mrs. Tomkins informed us that we have a school total of 8566 AR points to date. Mrs. Moses discussed our January virtue of Fairness – playing by the rules, treating others the way we want to be treated, taking turns, sharing, telling the truth, not blaming others – getting what we need to succeed. Mrs. Doherty mentioned that we have many clubs starting up, including basketball club, art club, choir, and science fair.

Mr. Beecroft started Basketball Club

on January 9. It will run on Mondays and Wednesdays after school from 3:40-4:40 until the beginning of March. It is open to interested students in Grades 4-6. The purpose of the club is to learn basic skills and teamwork, while having fun.

Ms. Birch and Mrs. Doherty are pleased to offer Art Club to interested students in Grades 4-6. The club will run on Tuesdays from 3:35-4:45. There will be no art club on January 31, as it is a non-attendance day for students.

Pink Shirt Day is February 22. If you would like to order a pink shirt or hoodie, the order deadline is January 19. Please contact the school office for more information.

VES will no longer be accepting Campbell’s Soup labels through the Labels For Education program, as Campbell’s Soup ended that program as of January 1, 2017.

We thank you for your support in the past.

We will continue to accept pop tabs and Boston Pizza receipts.

HOROSCOPE/SUDOKU AND SOLUTIONS Today you will have to practice patience and self-control when you are at work because it will be easy for you to blow your top or feel critical of someone.

Conversely, someone might be critical of you! Yes, "It was Monday. It was Monday all day."

Taurus

Parents will need to be patient with their kids today. And likewise, romantic partners will have to be patient with each other because people's nerves are frayed. In addition, people are easily critical of each other. In particular, relations with authority figures could be tense.

Gemini

Cancer

Be patient with a parent or older family member today because arguments can break out. You might feel discouraged; and when you are discouraged, it's hard to cut anyone some slack.

Especially yourself. Patience is your best ally today.

Do not fall prey to negative thinking because it's easy to be discouraged today. Part of this feeling could lead to annoyance with others or even arguments, especially with siblings, neighbours and relatives. By the end of the week, things are much easier. (Whew.)

Financial matters might be challenging today. You might be irked at someone because of the cost of something. You might also be impatient with someone because something impacts your earnings. This is not a good day to go head-to-head with authority figures. Chill out.

Today the Moon is in your sign; however, it is at odds with both fiery Mars and stern Saturn. Yikes! Run for cover.

Actually, this is small potatoes. You can handle this by showing tolerance, patience and understanding when dealing with others.

The irony is, do you have any choice? (Make your life easier.)

It's easy to fall into worry mode today and be overcome by negative thinking. Just remember that old saying: "Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere." Be patient with yourself and others.

And remember the power of courtesy. (Oh yeah.)

An older friend or a member of a group might make you account for yourself today. You need this like a fish needs a bicycle. Nevertheless, this is the case. Be comforted by the fact that millions of people are encountering this same challenge. You can handle it.

Be polite when dealing with authority figures today because if you have an argument with someone, it could be public. There is an influence present that means personal details about your private life are out in the open; for example an argument in an elevator. Not good.

Judgmental attitudes of others will discourage you today. That's why it feels that life is just hard. In turn, this can lead to arguments because it's easy to be quarrelsome or get upset with someone. Do not let this ruin your day. Let's keep this week positive.

For our Spring Thaw Tournament, March 30 - April 2, we have taken a big leap and invited teams from several provinces and the United States. The Calgary Irish have already registered and in League play, they are in the South Division, so we would only regularly face them during playoffs. The only other teams in our Northern League are Edmonton, Red Deer, and Grand Prairie. The advantages of setting up a tournament this way are avoiding stalemates and enabling teams to experience a diversity of opposition. Our whole league and province can bene-
