Drawing emotion and reverence, the 100th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge was celebrated with flag dedications and a march to the Cenotaph in Vermilion on April 9.

St. Savior’s Anglican Church began their Palm Sunday service with a special dedication labelled: ‘Remembering those who served,’ and ‘Our link to Vimy.’

Barb Snelgrove and Melissa Luke Guenthner presented two replica flags of the 151st Battalion that were draped on the Altar. Robert Snelgrove gave an address sharing the impact the involvement with Vimy Ridge has had on their family, and a blessing was given for the 151st Battalion Regimental Colour as they were dedicated to the St. Savior’s Anglican Church and to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11.

Following the service, parishioners looked over memorabilia the Snelgrove’s had acquired while following the footsteps of their relative Veteran, Thomas Alban Snelgrove, to Vimy Ridge.

“Our family has been truly blessed by this

experience,” said Robert Snelgrove.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 hosted a ceremony to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge at the Vermilion Cenotaph. The Colour Party march from the Legion to the Cenotaph included Legion members, 2645 Vermilion Cadets, and the RCMP; followed

by Lakeland Pipes and Drums, representatives from the Town of Vermilion, and the Snelgrove family. The ceremony began with O Canada, followed by wreath laying and a historical account of the Battle, by Vermilion Legion 1st Vice President, Wayne Freestone who described what it did for us as Canadians.

“Thomas Alban Snelgrove’s involvement brings Vimy Ridge back to Vermilion, giving it substance and meaning. What happened at Vimy Ridge 100 years ago is a part of our history and heritage in Vermilion that can’t be overlooked; and it was the battle that made Canada what it is today,” said Freestone.

“I’m not sure who was more thankful; the Church and Legion to receive the flags,

or me to give them. It is very rewarding to know how many people are interested, even through social media,” said Robert Snelgrove.

Vermilion Legion President Garry Zayac felt the program went very well and mentioned, “We are very grateful to have been donated the replica flag and will be honoured to display it in the Legion. We would like to thank the Cadets, Lakeland Pipes and Drums, all those who attended, and the RCMP for their attendance and traffic control.”

Upon conclusion of the ceremony, members gathered at the Legion, and Cadets were provided the opportunity to view shells the Snelgrove’s brought back from France.

“It was really cool being able to see the leftover battle memorabilia,” said Vermilion Cadet Sergeant Ryder Budden, who had previously taken history lessons in Cadets on the Battle of Vimy Ridge and had stepped in to carry the 151st Battalion flag during the April 9, ceremony.

During the ‘Searching For Vimy’s Lost

Soldiers’ documentary, Historian, Norm Christie referred to the 44 missing soldiers including Vermilion’s Veteran, Thomas Alban Snelgrove, and said, “We have to treat them like the heroes they are. It is our obligation to recover these bodies.”

When asked how they felt about seeing their relatives name inscribed on the Vimy Memorial, Melissa Guenthner said, “Pride and Honour are the best way to describe it; they gave us freedom.”

Reminded that they were standing exactly in Thomas Alban Snelgrove’s footsteps in the Bentata Cave, standing where he stood 100 years ago, Guenthner noticed there was so much detail on the carving, and went on to say, “He meant for it to be found.”

Norm Christie continued to challenge the families by asking them to pick a personal inscription for their relatives that still 100 years later had no known grave or marker.

“Their name should liveth on forever more,” was part of the inscription selected

by Callum Snelgrove.

Fire Chief Opens Up On Living With PTSD

Marie Conboy Reporter

Bernie Van Tighem shared his story on a life living with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) bravely to a crowd consisting of emergency service personnel including RCMP, local Fire Departments, EMS and their spouses at the Mannville School on April 11.

Like many in the emergency services industry, he dealt with the effects of undiagnosed post-traumatic stress; he sought treatment but received little support, until recently.

Van Tighem talked about his career as a firefighter and emergency medical technician for 30 years.

“What drives me to do these presentations today is because it’s personal to me; I knew two firefighters from BC in 2015 who died by suicide because of PTSD. Another reason why I do this is because PTSD is not dealing with emotions and in therapy I had to go back and re-live and re-feel emotions in order to flush them out of my system, so doing this presentation is a type of exposure therapy.

It’s still really hard for me to say I have mental illness because of the stigma.

I have worked with guys who were not impacted on the same calls as me, but yet I am. Essentially it comes down to how you deal with situations,” explained

Van Tighem.

It’s common for those with PTSD to suffer nightmares or flashbacks; a symptom known as ‘re-experiencing’ in which the patient suddenly and vividly re-lives the traumatic event in a repetitive manner.

“I kept having all these dreams of train wrecks. I had attended a horrific train derailment on May 4, 1987, in which two people were roasted alive. I will never forget that night, the fog was as thick as soup and we couldn’t see a thing. We found the railcars were every which way, sideways and on end. There was an intense fire, and I could feel the heat as I left the rescue van, the fire in the ditch appeared to be burning diesel.

Then an engineer arrived and said those fateful words, “Are the guys in the truck pinned under the railcar alive?” One man in his seat was still belted in and suspended over the fire, roasted and charred beyond comprehension. The other guy was out of his seat floating in what had been burning diesel, swollen and split like a hot dog and I had to pick up the body pieces. Both occupants had been charred or boiled alive. We placed them and their bits into body bags, and afterward, we went for lunch,” said Van Tighem.

The former fire chief said that his

battle with mental-health issues began after this event, but he didn’t realize it at the time.

“In those days we didn’t debrief. We just sucked it up and moved on. I got to the point with my mental health where I couldn’t go to work anymore – then I had to work on myself!

More first responders die by suicide each year in Canada than they do in the line of duty. We need to end the stigma that causes first responders not to want to go and get help!” urged Van Tighem.

First Ever Woodworking Show

Vermilion’s first ever Woodworking Show will be held at J. R. Robson School on April 29, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

“There are a lot of woodworkers around doing some really interesting things,” said Coordinator, Bernie Huedepohl.

The show will allow the public the opportunity to see both student works from local shop classes, and community works from local turners and intarsia projects. Ornate bowls made on lathes, decorative pictures cut from different coloured wood, carvings, and a Dory boat - complete with a 14’ mast will be just some of the projects people can expect to see. Artifacts will have stories alongside them describing their background.

According to Huedepohl, as long as people have decorated, they have worked

with wood. He went on to say that Canada is rich with carving traditions, and Northern Europe has a long history with intricate woodworking.

“Everywhere you go in the world; people work wood. Some items are for everyday use, while some are purely for decoration,” said Huedepohl.

The Woodworking Show is open to all cabinet makers and woodworkers of all kinds. Anyone looking for entry forms can contact Bernie Huedepohl at 780-8532913 or huedepoh@telusplanet.net.

The show will collect monetary donations, and is open to everyone. Huedepohl would like to call on the community to support their local woodworkers by viewing the range of grand projects.

“You can go in and just appreciate the work that people are doing,” said HuedePhoto submitted pohl.

George Marquardt, 96

George Albert Marquardt was born in Unity, Saskatchewan on August 28, 1920 to William (from Wisconsin) & Caroline (from Belgium) Marquardt. His parents named him after two reigning monarchs: King George V of Great Britain and King Albert I of Belgium. George was the 2nd oldest of six children. He resided with his parents on their homestead near Artland, SK. George attended the Sherlock Lake School and helped his father farm until joining the R.C.A.F. in February 1942. He took his basic training at the Manning Depot in Brandon, Manitoba and his technical training in St. Thomas, Ontario. From there he was posted to the 3rd Service Flying Training School in Calgary. In March 1943, he was sent overseas on the Queen Elizabeth and was eventually posted to the 423rd R.C.A.F. Squadron at Castle Archdale in Northern Ireland, forming part of the Coastal Command defending Great Britain. He served as an airplane mechanic (often working over the water) on Sunderland flying boats until VE day of World War II. He returned home to his parent's farm and became a Fuller salesman for two years then purchased a farm south of his parent's homestead.

Visiting the neighbour's farm one day, he encountered a charming, young lady who had been hired to help with housekeeping. He married Lillian (nee Nelson) on December 19, 1950. They had their first three children; Donna, George & Susan, and then relocated to Prospect Valley, north-east of Edgerton, AB where he continued farming. George and Lillian had two more children; Lorna & Denis, before moving into a new home. George was a member of the Wainwright Flying Club and often took the three oldest children up in the plane. He was a member of the Battle River Lutheran Church (Zion Lutheran Church), various farm organizations, local associations & clubs and, of course, the local Legion. He retired from farming, held an auction sale in 1984 and rented out the house and land. George and Lillian travelled across Canada and the United States in first a campervan and then a motor home. When age caught up with George and Lillian, they moved back onto the farm, eventually trading the motor home for a campervan. He started a collection of vintage model toy tractors and full size vintage vehicles to tinker with, as well as enjoyed long walks and bird watching. In 2004, George & Lillian sold the home quarter to daughter & son-in-law, Lorna & Rick Doolittle, and moved into the Centre Pointe Place Condominiums in Wainwright, AB. At this time they joined the Peace Lutheran Church. After the death of his beloved wife in 2009, George relocated to the Battle River Lodge. In 2015 he was transferred to the Mannville Care Centre where he passed away peacefully on March 27, 2017 at 96 years of age. George was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Lillian (2009); oldest brother, Bill (2006); two younger brothers, Alf (1969) & Ed (1944); and younger sister, Dorothy Smibert (2003). He leaves to mourn his passing, his younger sister, Esther (Ray) Cain of Burnaby, B.C.; children [grandchildren, {great-grandchildren}]; Donna Marquardt of St. Albert, George (Doreen) Marquardt of Calgary [Scott Marquardt of the world, Kyle Marquardt of Calgary], Susan Luthje (Glen Preston) of Lloydminster [Matthew (Realyn) Luthje {Kalilah} of Sherwood Park, Shelah Luthje, {Lilly, Violette, Jericho, Linkyn} of Lloydminster, Amy Luthje of Lloydminster], Lorna (Rick) Doolittle of Edgerton, Denis (Danika) Marquardt of Calgary [Katie Marquardt of Mandalay, Myanmar and Ben Marquardt of Slave Lake]; as well as many extended nieces and nephews.

George’s Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, April 22, 2017, 1:00 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church, Wainwright with interment to follow at Wainwright Cemetery officiated by Pastors Ron and Elaine Hobden. A luncheon will follow at Wainwright Golf Course Clubhouse.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in George's memory to Wainwright Cemetery Association, Mannville Patient Comfort Fund, your local Legion or Charity of your Choice.

Lorna Hamilton Editor

Volunteer week and Administrative Professionals week fall in the same week this year, so I thought I would do my editorial on Volunteering this week and Administrative Professionals week in the April 24 issue.

Have you ever thought about volunteering with an organization or just on your own in your community? Many people have, but it is slowly becoming a dying activity; mainly because we are all so busy in our daily lives and think we do not have time to do so. When we think of being a volunteer, we often think of it as spending countless hours at an event or volunteering with an organization, but volunteering is any act in

Benefits Of Volunteering

which we help within our community.

Volunteering has many benefits, and we should encourage our children especially to spend even a couple of hours a week volunteering within our community.

Volunteering can give you the opportunity to learn or develop new skills, as said by Gandhi “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

It’s never too late to open your mind and learn a new skill, it keeps your brain active, as the saying goes “ if you do not use your brain, you lose your brain.”

Volunteering within your community also gives us the opportunity to give back, pay it forward and help each other; you never know when you will need the support of your community in your life. Just think of the many different people you could meet while doing volunteer work, it is a great way to make new friendships.

tive employee who has volunteered over one who hasn’t. Volunteering can help you learn new skills that you can use within your career and also give you the opportunity to explore new fields.

April 23 - 29 is National Volunteer Week.

We have so many different types of volunteers in Vermilion, way too many to list here and we would like to take this opportunity to express a huge thank you to all the volunteers in our community. Without everything, you do our children wouldn’t have the opportunity to play sports, keep active and attend 4H. Our elderly wouldn’t see the cheery faces that they so very much love to see while in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Without you, our society could become a solemn place. So thank you to all our volunteers for everything you do without expecting anything in return. Bravo!

Have you ever felt a little low on selfconfidence? Volunteering is an amazing way to give you the boost needed to feel like you have accomplished a task and took the time and energy required to do so.

I know some people are not people persons so if that is how you feel what about helping at an animal shelter? If you’re an animal lover as I am, volunteering in an animal shelter can give you such a sense of self-worth. Animals do not have a voice of their own, they cannot ask for the attention they crave, but after leaving a shelter, you feel you have made a difference in an animal’s life, and the feeling of personal accomplishment is the only reward you need.

Volunteering can also work to your advantage within your career. Prospective employers often look at a person’s volunteer record and will often recruit a prospec-

Around The Campfire

It was just shortly after we started our hike that it got very warm; almost too hot out there and any snow that was left disappeared quickly and soon there was none in sight; as noon approached I would have to say it was a hot day. As we zigged and zagged through the bush and trails, I tried to direct Miss Oohohh who was actually in lead…to known possible water holes, which gratefully were all full. The pups didn’t need encouragement to get into the water hole, they ran out to the middle and both laid down in the water they looked so comfortable we stayed there for a long break until they cooled off.

Once they cooled off we were on the way once again at full throttle; it wasn’t long after we found the first antler shed, a decent size moose antler, which was too heavy to carry so we stashed it alongside a field for the trip back. Then it seemed like everywhere the pups went there were antlers, mule deer, and whitetail deer, Miss Oohohh would lead us to them, wait till we got there and she would move on.

Sir Mukluk surprised me with his skill finding them, he is a natural, he would find one lay down and start chewing on them, I would strap them on my backpack, and

Well, folks, for this ole outdoorsmen, spring is officially here, the same day I wrote lasts week’s column, as the sun set on a nice calm quiet evening, the silence was broken by momma Robins serenade. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I stopped doing whatever it was to enjoy her song. I was so happy to see her and was smiling as she sang, I was happy to see her home again this spring.

Then as if on her cue, the very next evening our frogs awoke, their calming song echoing from the duck pond, then again almost on cue I swiped at an annoying buzz in my ear. Yup, it was a mosquito not a big fan of that sign of spring so with a clap, which was no way an applaud I put a quick end to that particular sign of spring, the week was starting off great and was even supposed to be nicer as the week went on.

The weather channel called for warm and sunny this past Thursday, April 6 so I booked the day off and got up at sunrise.

It was already nice and warm, by the time I loaded up the herd into the truck, along with full day packs, the pups were all raring to go.

We planned to spend the day antler shed hunting and exploring. Miss Oohohh wore her packs, completed with four litres of water and lunch for all, along with all the other things we use, folding dishes, gloves, rope, knife, leashes, etc. I thought I would put a pack on little Miss Noel stuffed with paper and she willingly packed like she was born with it. The bush I chose for the day was very thick, and I’m sure the rabbits even tried to avoid it. With Miss Noel being low to the ground yet the deadfall trees, snags and thick brush made it a chore for her, so I removed the pack and just let her enjoy the day; Miss Oohohh, on the other Photo submitted hand, likes to pack.

T h e l i g ht g o l d e n colour of cheese cake garnished with fruit is a perfect spring desert.

Cheese cake is a rich and decadent desert.

Cheese cake has its origins in ancient Greece and it was a popular for wedding cakes and high energy food for athletes in the Olympics. Cheese cake is one of those special foods that have delighted civilization for many millennia. Even after thousands of years, we are still enjoying cheese cake, almost worldwide. There are many versions of cheese cake using various ingredients and differing methods. This is an easy and basic cheese cake recipe that can be dressed up with a

Crocus popped back up was no worst for the trample, I thanked the flower, apologized and we carried on down the trail.

Everything went perfect, and I was so impressed and proud with all the pups, that is until Miss Oohohh found herself a porcupine, but even then I have to give her credit.

Most dogs end up with a face and mouth full of quills to the point where they need serious medical care from a vet, however, she came out of it with just one single big quill sticking out the middle of her nose.

She did great on that account and is wise, and after a 10-minute wrestle and a YIP, I had the quill out, and we were on the trail again, soon we had more antlers than we could carry and still had to the Moose antler. So I loaded up Miss Oohohh’s pack as full as I could with smaller antlers, and we made our way back to the truck, it was an excellent and very enjoyable day with the team and outdoor adventures.

Speaking of the team…it just got bigger with more horsepower, introducing Mr. Donka, A huge male 130 lbs of big suck puppy, same age a Miss Oohohh, we took him in as a rehome.

He is just huge, standing on his back feet he is taller than me, even sitting he makes Miss Oohohh, who is considered large for the standard in breed…look like a pup.

More adventures to follow and interesting coincidence story with Mr. Donka, I love this big fellow and hope he fits in well with the rest of the team.

Cheese Cake

variety of toppings. It can be topped with cherries, blueberry compote, melted dark chocolate, fresh fruit or a classic New York cheese cake topping.

Cheese Cake 3 packages 8 oz. of cream cheese (regular or light) 4 eggs 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice Bring the cream cheese to room temperature. Using an electric mixer or food processor, beat all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into a 9 “spring form pan that has been lined with a graham wafer crumb crust. Bake At 350 degree for one hour. If the center is a little soft, that is o.k. To prevent cracking loosen the edge of the cake with a knife to allow for contraction while it is cooling.

A cheese cake is best served chilled and can be topped with cherries, fresh fruit caramel nuts or a sour cream topping for a New York cheese cake. I also make this without a crust and pour it right into a glass bottomed spring form pan, I transfer the glass to a footed plated and it serves very well.

Graham Wafer Crumb Crust Combine 2 cups graham wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup melted butter and ¼ cup sugar.

Press this mixture into the bottom of a spring form pan.

Blueberry Compote In a saucepan combine 3 cups of blueberries, 1/4 cup of water and cook stirring for about 5 minutes, ina small bowl combine 2 tablespoons water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch and stir until smooth, Stir the cornstarch mixture into the blue-

berry mixture and cook until thickened.

If the blueberries are tart you can add some sugar or maple syrup to sweeten the compote. Spread on top of the cheese cake.

Cherry Topping 1 can of cherry pie filling can be spread on top of the cooled cheese cake. For a blueberry cheese cake you can spread a can of blueberry pie filling on top of the cheese cake instead of the cherries, or make the blueberry compote as above.

New York Cheese Cake Topping 2 cups sour cream 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Combine the ingredients and spread on top of the cheese cake immediately after baking and bake for an additional 15 – 20 minutes at 475 degrees.

even while walking he would be chewing on them.

Miss Noel didn’t seem to have much interest in the hunt. However, she did shine in other areas, as it got warmer Miss Oohohh carrying a full pack slowed down a bit and eventually followed me for a while.

Miss Noel took the lead like she knew what she was doing and we all followed her, she would make an excellent lead dog for the sled team, in fact, she lead us to something I really wanted to find. As we winded through brush, we broke into a small natural meadow and there it was, the beautiful purple and white flower shone against all winter’s dull brown colors, there was my first Crocus flower. I wanted to admire it, so it was a great place for lunch, I took all the packs off, and we had lunch. I had a big sandwich and a piece of baked chicken, however, after the Malamute dogs law of sharing I only ended up with a quarter of said lunch.

All the team laid by my side and didn’t wander at all I was/am so proud of them, they did perfect…well up to the point where Sir Mukluks size 12 foot stepped on my Crocus flower.

2017 Mini World Cup Results

James Wolters Columnist

The EDSA 2017 Heritage and Mini World Cup successfully concluded April 12 after 16 days of intense and exciting indoor soccer action at the East and South Soccer Centers in Edmonton with the stands overflowing each evening with chanting and cheering crowds taking in the spec-

tacle.

O u r Te a m C a n a d a M e n ’s 4 5 + (Legends) squad began its journey in late January with team scrimmages and friendlies through February and March against Bosnia, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, and Fiji.

Our tournament began with a 3-2 victory over a surprisingly quick Iraq squad March 29, followed by a rough and tough 4-2 win over Egypt April 2nd.

April 4th with 1st place in our group on the line, we held a 3-1 lead vs. previous MWC Gold medal champions Italy late into the 2nd half but surrendered 2 goals in the last 8 minutes to end in a 3-3 tie.

Italy took 1st place in our group, Canada 2nd, Canada moving on to the playoff round against Group winner Scotland in the quarterfinals April 6th. Canada’s most complete game of the tournament

stunned Scotland in a 4-1 upset victory.

Canada would now move on to the semifinals to face Hungary April 9th. Unfortunately, Canada fell flat and short in a 4-0 loss against a disciplined and talented Hungar y squad that scored the 1st minute of the game and smothered the Canadian offensive pressure the rest of the way.

A l t h o u g h fat i g u e d an d b at tere d mentally and physically from a disappointing loss, Canada came back the next evening in the Bronze medal game April 10th, roaring out of the gate to a 6-2 1st half lead, then spent a wild 2nd half as England survived a 5 minute major penalty to score 3 straight goals, 1 shorthanded, as Canada escaped a last minute frenzy with a 6-5 victory to take the Bronze Medal…the first medal of any color for Canada in the previous 18 years

in this event.

I want to thank my Team Canada teammates for a wonderful experience and a great tournament, as well as manager Robbie Levesque and coach Gary Phenuff. Canadian teammates Chris Naylor and Scott McDonald were named to the 1st and 2nd All Star Teams respectively.

Great job guys and congratulations. I would also like to congratulate Gold and Silver medallists Serbia and Hungary.

Six teams of students competed in the kitchen at J.R. Robson School during the Cooking Club’s Chili Cook-off on April 11.

Students ranged from grades 5 - 8, and had the opportunity to work with their team to agree on ingredients and took turns adding ingredients, mixing, and doing dishes. Family members were invited to taste the different pots of chili as well as biscuits, vegetables, and apple crisp that the children had prepared. A panel of judges was also on hand to decipher which kitchen had the best pot of chili.

Clint McCullough and Derek Krys (St. Jerome alumnus) into their routine, and thanked them for their ser vice along with the other four Vermilion firefighters who had assisted in Fort MacMurray.

“It was just another great exhibition of intramural competition. Students were competitive but very supportive of the house and individual per formances. It ’s a wonder ful tradition,” said Teacher, Allan MacMillan.

Mulch Is Not A Four Letter Word!

Lloyd Rumbolt Submitted

Ready to plant? Deciding on new trees and shrubs will include considerations of species hardiness, mature size, growth rate, form, as well as aesthetic and functional values. Careful planting takes planning and some rewarding hard work.

But nobody wants to go through these steps without a reasonable expectation for success. Now go ahead and Mulch it!

The basic concept to mulching for new trees and established trees is to mimic Mother Nature.

Ornamental Grass Eye-catching And Easy To Grow

Or nament al gras s is in creas ingly popular among homeowners looking to embellish their outdoor space. Graceful and light, these plants — characterized by thin, long foliage — complement every style of landscape. Ornamental grasses traditionally border water gardens and Zen corners; however, more and more gardeners are making the bold move of planting them in the heart of their flowerbeds mixed with various annuals and perennials.

Resistant to drought, ill­n ess and destruc tive insec ts, ornamental grass is extremely easy to maintain. The majority of varieties only require a 10-centimetre trim every spring, while evergreen varieties like blue oat grass don t require any

Are you afraid that ornamental grass will take over your garden?

Visit your local garden centre or plant nursery to find varieties that remain compact as they grow, such as silver grass (Miscanthus), red grass (Calamagrostis) and greater wood-rush (Luzula sylvatica), the latter of which is perfect for shaded areas.

Three Golden Rules For Getting Birds To Flock To Your Garden

If you wish to attract migrating birds and their hatchlings to your garden while they’re home for the summer and still stay loyal to the species that frequent your garden year-round, read on for some key tips.

1. Offer shelter from wind, bad weather and predators. Birds need a place where they’ll feel safe to nest with their family throughout the night.

Ferns, large shrubs and hedges offer excellent protection against strong winds, cold rain and the neighbour’s mischievous cat. Note that a diverse mix of ferns, trees and shrubs will attract a larger variety of birds.

2. Provide food for all tastes.

Choose indigenous plants that produce both seeds and fruit. Considering that some birds prefer eating on

TREE CARE Pruning and Removal

the ground while others feed in trees, a staggered landscape is your best bet to satisfy every species. Once summer ends, let the flowers in your garden go to seed to allow birds the opportunity to feast even once the cold sets in.

3. Ensure access to water yearround. No matter the season, our feathered friends need access to a source of clean water at all times.

Because of their shallow basin, birdbaths sold in stores seem to delight birds of every flock and feather.

Do you love waking up to the song of birds every morning? To find out more about plants and landscaping elements that appeal your region’s bird population, visit a garden centre near you.

Less Complaining, More Gaining

Calves that are fence-line weaned vo c alize 50% less, walk less, and have higher weight gains in the first 10 weeks post weaning compared to conventionally weaned calves. A prac-

ticing veterinarian from southeastern Saskatchewan that uses fence-line weaning with his own cattle reports that calves weaned using low-stress practices have a treatment rate of only 5-10%, instead of the 25-30% he sees in abruptly weaned calves.

Fence-line weaning requires a strong enough fence to keep calves and cows apart so page wire, 4-6 strands of barbed wire, or 2-3 strands of electric fencing (if calves are familiar with electric fence) is recommended. Another option is to use a set of corals on pasture, locking

cows in and leaving the calves in the familiar environment. Fence-line weaning should last a minimum of 3-4 days.

Giddyup For The Cowboys And Cowhorses

Reporter

It ’s that time of year again, and Cowboys are ready to saddle up and work some ropes at the Cowboys and Cowhorses show and competition which will take place at the Lakeland College Equine Centre in Vermilion on April 21.

The Lakeland College Western Ranch and Cow Horse program focuses on horse training and students study cattle diseases, marketing and beef production with diverse practical learning.

“We are pretty unique – in that, not many other places in Canada offer a course like this; with the combination of horse and cattle experience all wrapped up in one course. We fill a specific niche in the livestock industry that does not get dealt with in other courses,” said Ron Hoffman, who has been the instructor with the Western Ranch and Cow Horse program since 2000.

Hoffman says that current work opportunities for students graduating from the course are great.

“If you want a job in a feed lot or a pasture riding job, there is lots of work out there! I’ve got people calling me saying they don’t have anybody to go and do the job in the Wainwright area! It doesn’t matter what the economy is, if you’ve got live cattle, you still need people to look after them,” said Hoffman.

Some of the 20 students in the Western Ranch and Cow Horse program this year will be taking part in the Cowboys and Cowhorses show and competition.

“We have some pretty good kids this year on the program. I’ve had students from every province over the years; the only province I haven’t had a student from is the Northwest Territories. This year we even have a student from as far away as France. Right now we are finishing the year with 20 students, there is always a little bit of fall off where some students

don’t make it past Christmas when they realize it’s not the course for them,” added Hoffman.

The Cowboys and Cowhorses show and competition will be open to the public to attend, and the Team Roping Jackpot will take place on Saturday, April 22.

Classes will include ranch cutting - open, cowboy and novice classes, open ranch rodeo events - team doctoring and ranch sorting, and stock dog/ horse trials. The competition is available to open and non-pro class competitors to compete in reined work, fence work and steer stop- Ranch Horse Performance ping. The aggregate winners in each divi- Cowboys worked the ropes in the Ranch Horse Performance competitions last year. sion will be awarded vests.
