Vermilion Fair’s Poultry Show
Laila Kinnear, from Olds, AB. with her one of her Plymonth Hard Rock Chickens and James Adkins (Poultry Judge) explained what he is looking for when judging. Kinnear is in the JR. Mentorship program with the Canadian Heritage Breeds and must attend 2 shows in a year. Her mom brought 3 chickens to show too.
Sue Chikie Reporter
This year’s Poultry show had a lot of entries of many different breeds at the Vermilion Fair. Young and old toured the Butler Building to see all the different breeds of chickens, ducks, turkeys, a variety of eggs and even baby chicks just hatched or still hatching. James J. Adkins came from Old Fort, North Carolina to judge this year’s Poultry show. Adkins provided some of his background and also explained to the crowd before the judging began just what it is that he looks for. Adkins said when he was young their family moved to Washington state, and his Dad brought home some chickens. He has always been a bird lover, and this led to attending poultry shows all
over the U.S. As a teenager, he decided he wanted to be a judge and since has gone on to judge in 35 to 40 states in the Canada, U.S. and Australia. Adkins informed the crowd about his biggest assignment in Pennsylvania when there were 1800 birds to judge in 1 day. Adkins has a Poultry Standards book which he calls the “Bible” for judging birds. What he looks for as he picks up each bird is the type; body shape or silhouette (which he can feel while he is holding the bird), he also checks the bird’s comb shape and colour, leg colour, and feather quality, all in a minute or less. Adkins encouraged the young members of the crowd that if they would like to be a Poultry Judge to go for it.

I remember a time not that long ago, the world was a semi honest place, and it was nice to be able to trust people the majority of the time. Nowadays every time you turn around someone somewhere is trying to rip you off and steal your hard earned money. When we were looking for a new puppy
Beware Of Scams
it was sickening how many people were posing as breeders on the internet. I know we had contacted at least 20 different people who had websites saying they were reputable breeders, but it didn’t take long to figure out that they were not. We had scumbags trying to tell us they had puppies for sale but they recently moved clear across the country and all you had to do was pay for the delivery. You think to yourself that is pretty good deal until you see the next site and you inquire about the puppies and you hear the exact same story. You will also notice as you go along that they will only want to converse with you either through email or text. If they do text you, you will notice that the phone number they text you from are not a canadian number. I checked a few of them and the area code was from Virginia or Boston or heaven knows where else. I also discovered on edmonton classifieds site and Craigslist there is this one person with the same email who I swear has
The Vermilion Voice | August 7, 2017
every breed of dog there is. I called one of the scammers out on their scam and oh my goodness the reply back from them if you are not well versed in it all could convince you that they are completely legit, don’t be fooled by their antics. Reputable breeders do not do business that way. The other scam that has seemed to have popped up again is the phone call claiming to be Revenue Canada and that you are owning them money and that you will be arrested. Don’t fall for it and don’t worry about it, just hang up; Revenue Canada doesn’t call people, they send you letters in the mail. Just yesterday, I had a phone call from some kind of police services and when you don’t answer they leave you this stupid voicemail that you can’t even hear clearly. Another one that is on the go is people who receive emails stating that there has been a charge on your Paypal account and you need to click on the link, sign in, and confirm the purchase was yours. What they is gain your Paypal username and password and full access to your account. There is another called unclaimed money, you get an email saying that their Uncle or someone has passed away and there is some 16 million dollars (for example) that needs to be dispersed and they would like to use your bank account and in doing so you will receive part of the money; don’t fall
for it, it’s a scam. If you have a rental property and you receive an email response where they want to send you a bank draft for their rent and also send you money to have their car shipped there with extra funds for just incase it’s a scam. If you get this kind of response walk away and never look back. I could continue to list more and more but I think you get what I’m saying. Beware of the scams that is out there and if it seems to good to be true 10 chances out of 10 it is. Never ever give your personal information to anyone unless you know 110 per cent it is legitimate. If you get some stupid email asking for you personal information never ever do it!! When looking to purchase online always do your research and if you get any type of weary feeling in your tummy about them walk away! It’s sad that we live in a world full of dishonesty and people who don’t care about stealing your money. It would be nice to be able to trust everyone, but unfortunately that is not the way of the world anymore.

First week of Au g u s t i s a l m o s t always a hectic month in the calendar around my household. When it c omes d own to it there are certain times during the year when more of the action takes place than the thinking and the planning…and August is the time January is lost in thought about, gazing past the window at the snow in the back yard about the garden growing there in six months. Usually not enough hours in the day for all the things you had ideas
When we turn on the tap, clean, clear water quickly flows out. We use this water for cooking, washing, drinking and countless other uses, but rarely do we stop to think about where it comes from. The tap water of one in four Albertans is provided by the North Saskatchewan River. This river originates in the glaciers, mountains and foothills of Bighorn Country, between Banff and Jasper National Parks. It flows over 1,000 km through Clearwater County and the Edmonton capital region on its way north and east into Saskatchewan. One might assume that Vermilion gets its water from other sources, but it too relies on this great river. What happens to the river’s Vermilion 4H Sheep Club
for when planning things out those six months ago previously either. One of my favourite phrases always seems to come to mind about this time…of the effect that ‘No battle plan survives contact with the enemy’. Those being the things you didn’t plan on but come out of nowhere to take a bite into your plans…like a stolen truck. So when that ‘time’ finally does arrive, every day seems to feel like packing the day like you would for your one bag of carry-on luggage. If you did actually have everything planned and folded ahead of time like a Marine drill instructor…might still not even fit it all. Decisions…it’s always the decisions. The mundane daily stuff like mowing the lawn and tending animals are your socks, under wear, and toiletries of time…always taking up room even if they are mundane. Then those yearly projects have to be factored in…never seems to be enough room for those yet you want to keep the ball moving forward or your plate spinning, pick
your cliché. I think at this point some of my bigger projects have become more MacGuffin than anything, always dogging the edge of my radar screen each day, registering a blip and never getting closer or further away no matter what else seems to be happening. If a movie was ever made and I was actually the protagonist…I think it would revolve around a barn roof as my plot device. Then when it comes down to the fun stuff…there are more fun opportunities than can be accommodated in the time you have, so you are left agonizing over the one ‘fun’ shirt to wear you have room left for before you zip up the lid of the bag and exit the premises. Sigh. So between the Fair, a trip to Calgary for a gathering with the in-laws, a quick side detour through Drumheller, and a visit from a friend from down east…it is a wonder where the sleep came in. Answer: it doesn’t really. In the end, a lot of fun shirts didn’t make it in the bag for this year. Already put in the
Letter To The Editor
headwaters in the Bighorn affects well over a million downstream users. The Bighorn is currently in pretty good shape. Its relatively intact forests, meadows, and streams are home to iconic species like grizzlies, wolverine, bull trout and bighorn sheep.There is little industrial activity west of Nordegg, where I live, and there are few roads beyond the David Thompson Highway. Intact, healthy forests like these are essential to functioning headwaters and watersheds.Trees and leafy understory plants are like sponges: they absorb, filter and regulate water, preventing flood and drought downstream while keeping contaminants and sediment out of the

river’s flow. However, east of the national parks, only five per cent of this critical watershed is protected. And this is a problem. The Bighorn region is vulnerable to oil, gas and metallurgical coal developments. The foothills are already subject to considerable forestry activity. In some areas, the cumulative pressure from these and recreational activities are beginning to fragment the forest. Impacts on wildlife and water can be severe. We need to act now to protect clean water, our most precious commodity. We must safeguard our land and water today if we want our children to use it as millions
‘maybe next year’ category…doesn’t that sound familiar? August is also a month during which my wife and I have our anniversary. In the midst of fulfilling a ‘honey-do’ request and completing one of those unplanned luggage items (dealing with that big tree down), a rather humorous and fortuitously timed outcome came about. They say a picture says a thousand words? Well in this case, a couple of tree stumps cut from the ‘Heart’ tree to sit on out at the fire pit said ‘Happy Anniversary’ for me, timed right and fitting in just perfectly.

It’s imperative that the North Saskatchewan River headwaters be formally protected. I urge you to check out the Love Your Headwaters campaign online, and to tell the Alberta government that you want your water protected through the creation of a wildland park in the Bighorn. The waters of the North Saskatchewan are far too important to far too many people to leave them so vulnerable. Many thanks, Marla Zapach

Another outstanding weekend, other than being a little hot for my liking but I will take it. I can work and play in the heat better than trying to do things in the pouring rain; one just has to have a system. All the pups have a system, run the fields on the property, chase mice and gophers, dig a few holes, come home jump in the ice cold “ceement pond,” burn a few laps around the shop, then lay on cool concrete for an hour nap. Alaskan Malamutes are famous for their sleeping antics; they can lay twisted, upside down and backwards, when all four are laying around it looks like I have a whole herd of broken dogs. We do most walks in early morning or evening as mid-day the pups are all napping, a good strategy. This weekend one of the things I had to do was dig a trench around the new kennel. The new kennel, a big one at over 60 feet long and 16 feet wide (30 M x 6 M), still in progress. It had to have a channel dug as the Chain-link is going to be buried 12 inches down also, so to work on it the hole has to be at least 12 inches wide by 12 inches deep. It may not sound like much but let me tell you that’s a lot of dirt, my utility trailer for my quad will hold at least a square meter of dirt, one-third of the trench alone held
Around The Campfire
four of those trailers full. The pups all supported me of course, by laying in the shade nearby watching me in between naps, but following their lead when I started to overheat I went to the shop to take a break where it’s cool. All the pups would follow and stretch out on the floor again, after about a half hour we would repeat the process, took all day but we got it done; although it seemed unfair with four supervisors and only one worker. However their system worked well, and we got stuff done, but for some reason, it seemed I was the only tired one, next year or even later this fall we will have a different system. The small quad I am converting into a summer or no snow pulling cart is nearing completion. It has been completely torn down, stripped of all unneeded weight like motor, transmission, front push bar, etc., and all parts painted, and now it’s just a matter of time to allow my mechanic friend to reassemble. When it’s this hot, and running dogs we will have to see a lot of sun rises when it is cool and carry a lot of water, in earlier years I didn’t consider the dogs to be in shape until we put on a couple of hundred miles on the trail. Short trips will be in order on hotter summer days, but the pups will enjoy it as this breed loves to work, then once winter arrives, they can pull all day long doing what they truly enjoy. Tomorrow as I write this is August
Summer berries are one of the joy of July and August. Many of our prairie summer berries are ready right now. The saskatoons are in their last weeks, and I noticed that the pin cherries are ready to eat as well. The raspberries, nanking cherries and rhubarb are also all ready to eat. Where did July go? The best thing about berries is that they are full of healthful nutrients and beneficial anti-oxidants.

already which means only 31 sleeps until my retirement and bowhunting season, maybe I will be able to slow down just a little, looking forward to it! On our walk the other day I took a big tub of cherries and did the Johnny Appleseed thing and placed them in strategic locations on the property to see how they grow, our little bush has 40 different varieties of trees from doing the same thing over the years. We have spruce, pine, fir, mountain ash to mention a few bigger trees; I really spread out the local natural Saskatoons, my favourite …but there is choke cherries as well as normal cherry trees already growing also. The one that surprised and mystifies me the most is the Red Deer River Saskatoons, which when we moved here many years ago we had several large bags of Saskatoons that got a little freezer burnt. So I spread them out, and they grew with intensity, but what is weird is they grew 12 foot tall, and some years they are loaded with Saskatoons and other years like this year absolutely nothing. Now years ago there were no smaller local Saskatoons on the property, so we picked an ice cream pail full and Johnny Appleseed-ed them also, which they now thrive and are just loaded with berries this year. So the pups and I enjoyed the lush bush and refreshing shade from the bigger trees, which I also took advantage of to get my fill on plump

Now I will take partial blame for tuning Miss Oohohh into a Saskatoon addict, but that’s no excuse for forcefully pushing a man off a Saskatoon bush just to get at the plumpest berry on the bush. It seemed it was a race no matter what berry bush I was hoarding she would push me aside to get that biggest and plumpest Saskatoon; it’s a good thing there was enough berries for everyone.

Upcoming Self-Defense Seminar
To empower women, Sensei Dave Woods, will be hosting a Women’s SelfDefense Seminar at the Kitscoty Legion on August 12, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Helping make them realize what they are capable of, Woods will give the women tips that he hopes they will turn into habits to keep themselves safe. The course will include a lecture portion on being alert, aware of one’s surroundings, and being assertive if necessary. Discussing the idea of hunters and prey, Woods will cover what attackers look for in victims. “Sensory deprivation can cause accidents and danger of becoming a predator’s target,” said Woods. Woods recommends that if wearing earphones while jogging, that you tuck one in your shirt to remain audibly conscious of your surroundings. Woods will also discuss indoor and outdoor home security and cell phone apps to promote safety. Woods draws on his 20 years of law
enforcement; 13 of which was in corrections, and two and a half of those were solely planted in a protective custody unit. In 1984, Woods became involved in martial arts after being bullied in school. Woods has a 5th degree black belt in Jiu Jitsu and a 1st degree black belt in Karate. “My training provided me with the confidence I needed to defend myself if necessary but walk away whenever possible. I often tell students, ‘Fighting is always the last resort. It is better to swallow your pride than swallow your teeth,’” said Woods. According to Woods, the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Union is focussed more on street defense rather than tournaments and sparring. He went on to say that self-defense is like insurance, in that it is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. Those who attend will also receive hands on practice with focus pads. Women will be able to demonstrate their skills on the instructor who will be wearing full padding. According to Woods, some students will be returning for their third seminar, saying that
they pick up something new every time. if necessary how to use their body as a Woods aims to give women the mindset weapon. For more information or to registhat they can do it; to overcome fear, and ter, call 780-259-0128.

Class of ’97 Alumni Appointed Deputy Chief Officer Of Scotland Lakeland College Submitted
(Vermilion, Alta.) – Taking a leap across the pond with over 25 years of experience in the emergency services sector, Iain Bushell has been appointed deputy chief officer of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The Class of 1997 emergency services technology (EST) alumnus began his role as Director of Service Delivery on Monday, June 19. He oversees 356 fire stations with over 8,000 firefighters, and leads the development of the future SFRS operational model. “I am looking forward to exploring the differences between how things are run in Scotland compared to Alberta and Canada, meeting new people, and broadening my network and horizons,” he says. “It is a huge challenge moving up from where I (was) in Strathcona to Scotland. Firefighting is the same at core - things burn and we put them out - but the way they run their systems, train and organize their people are a few of the things I am looking forward to learning.” After putting in a little over 10 years in military aviation for the Canadian Armed Forces and a few years of volunteer firefighting, Bushell attended Lakeland’s EST program at the Emergency Training Centre in Vermilion. He says he chose the
program because of the opportunity to gain both firefighter and emergency medical skills. “I knew I wanted to get involved in emergency services, so being able to get both those qualifications at the same time, in the same program is what appealed to me.” He also received valuable information from his instructors, who shared their experiences, and the small classroom sizes made for a successful team environment. “I think it was a great foundation for me, and if nothing else, I learned to take the opportunities that I get and see what comes of them, and not to be afraid to challenge myself,” he says. “I was inspired to dream big, go out into the world and do the best I could do, and achieve all of the things I wanted to achieve.” Bushell became a member of Strathcona County Emergency Services as a firefighter and paramedic in 2001. In a span of 12 years, he served as deputy fire chief of finance and human resources, deputy fire chief of operations, and then fire chief in 2013. It was only a couple of months ago that Bushell was browsing the United Kingdom’s Chief Fire Officers Association website when he found the job posting. With support from his family, Bushell decided the job was worth applying for. His dual citizenship made him an eligible
candidate – having been born in England – and he was familiar with the country having married his wife in Scotland 13 years ago. In a three week period, Bushell completed a four-stage process which included submitting an online application, completing aptitude and psychometric tests, flying to Scotland for a command assessment, conducting a presentation, and finally sitting in a panel interview. “It was a very quick process,” he says. “As the deputy chief officer, the three assistant chief officers and the three civilian directors will report to me and then I’ll report to the chief. I think my job covers pretty much everything. I am looking forward to the next phase in my journey and I hope to bring new ideas and insight that will allow Scotland to deliver the best solutions for the communities.” SFRS was established in April 2013, after Scotland’s previous eight regional fire and rescue services amalgamated. SFRS is the fourth largest fire service in the world. The service works in close partnership with communities across Scotland to deliver safety messages in the fight against fire. Established in 1913, Lakeland College is a place of possibility that serves more than 8,300 students every year at its campuses in Vermilion, Alta., and Lloydminster, Alta./ Sask., and through online and off-site programs and courses. Lakeland offers
programming in the areas of agricultural sciences, business, energy, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, trades and technology, and university transfer. For more information visit lakelandcollege.ca.

Lakeland College Cereal Tour
Angela Mouly Reporter
Over 50 local grain growers gathere d at a small plot researc h site southwest of Vermilion on August 2, as Lakeland College hosted Cereal and Flax Field Day. Lakeland College Crop Researcher, Laurel Perrott, and her team led the tour and showcased “all things cereal” to local crop producers. Perrott has been conducting crop and pasture research on this site as well as seven other s in the reg io ns surroun d ing Vermilion. The tour welcomed guest speaker s, Wee d S c ien c e Profes sor and Researcher at University of Alberta, Dr. Lin d a H all, as well as A lber t a Marketing Representative for SeCan, Trent Whiting, and Lakeland College’s Joseph Aidoo. According to Perrot t, over 1,0 0 0 plots were on display, and attendants had the opportunity to view more than 40 new varieties of wheat, 15 new varieties of barley, and 10 new varieties of oats. “It is extremely valuable for producers to see how new cereal varieties are performing in local conditions. A wheat variety that does well in Edmon-
ton may perform very differently in our unique soil and climatic conditions, and producers need this information to make informed decisions on their farm,” said Perrott. Perrott went on to say that througho u t t h e d ay, t h er e wer e exc e l l e nt agronomic conversations surrounding Fusarium head blight manage ment, achieving malt barley and milling oat grades, and the use of plant growth regulators to manage lodging. The plant grow th regulator project conducted by Lakeland College is part of a larger project in partnership with the University of Alberta and Alberta Agriculture and Forestry. According to Perrott, Vermilion is one of three sites involved in the multi-location trials. “Plant growth regulators are a relatively new anti-lodging tool that will be available to producers in the 2018 growing season, and we want our farmers to be informed about appropriate and ef fec tive uses of these products ahead of time,” said Perrott. For those looking for more information, Perrott will be hosting more winter ex tension meetings af ter harvest where she will share yield and other agronomic information regarding the plots at the research sites.

Depression And Six Necessary Needs Of Mourning
Shirley Scott, WTG Submitted
(exerts from the Depression of Grief – author Dr. Alan Wolfelt). Please consider getting this book. The second need of mourning is the need to “let yourself feel the pain.” In our culture, letting ourselves feel emotional pain is not something we have the courage to do but would rather repress, deny or avoid pain. Often we may try ways to get past the pain; keeping busy, putting thoughts behind, numbing the pain by abusing substances, medications and addictive behaviour, and denying the loss and pain. On the other hand, it is a positive step when we allow our self to “feel the pain,” it is a courageous first step. Learning to recognize and express the pain outside ourselves is another step to healing. This is done be reaching out and finding a trusted listener; someone who understands and is nonjudg-
mental. Support groups are an excellent resource; where understanding and nonjudgmental listeners share a common bond and experiences, where there is an encouragement to talk about feelings and thoughts. Expression of feelings and thoughts can also be by journaling, art or music. Grief is a process and is the hardest work you will ever have to do, and you may need times to embrace the pain but also times to give yourself distraction from the pain with an activity, a time spent with a friend or something soothing and restful. To be strong on your grief journey is to become acquainted with your pain and your needs, and addresses step two of the Necessary Needs of Mourning. There will be a need to recognize others, who may try to deny you this important step. Others may be uncomfortable with your pain and encourage you to “get over your grief, ” but you need to “feel
it to heal it.” Remember in your great loss, you are still worthy and need to care for yourself; the total person emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically. Quote -Dr. A Wolfelt “ I may try to protect myself from my sadness by not talking about my loss. I may even secretly hope that the person who died will come back if I don’t talk about it. Yet, as difficult as it is, I must feel it to heal it. ! One such opportunity is offered to those who have been impacted by a loss to suicide and those who care and support. Walking Through Grief Society and partner committee will be having the 7th annual “Walk of Remembrance” in conjunction with the World Suicide Prevention Day. This event will be held at the Bud Miller Park, Lloydminster on Sept. 9 from 3 - 6 p.m. The event is for all to attend from this region and beyond. There will be a walk, speakers,
