There was a lot of enthusiasm at Mannville Riverview Golf Course as the Vermilion Credit Union hosted their annual Golf Tournament on June 15. In years past, the tournament has raised $111,600 for local charities. This year’s recipients were the Mannville Educational Fund Association, the Islay Fire Department, and the Vermilion River Flying Club. “We’re thrilled to be able to support these groups and would like to thank their members for volunteering for the event,” said Christa Grocock, Credit Union Member Service Supervisor.

Around the course, golfers enjoyed the high stakes with a ‘putt for lotto’ challenge, hole-in-one prize, leisure package (patio set), and a refreshment package. “ We always look for ward to hosting; it’s a fun event each year. We have dedicated members who look forward to participating each year and, we are very thankful for their support. Being a co-operative company, giving back to the community has always been a big part of the Vermilion Credit Union; enriching some of the area’s clubs and people that are a part of them and we enjoy helping out when we can,” said Grocock.

Patricia Whiting sunk a putt during the 2018 Golf Tournament.

65th Annual Wainwright Stampede

Emily Wahlstrom Reporter

Prepare for fun and excitement at this year’s 65th Annual Wainwright Stampede, happening from June 21 until June 24. The annual event is held each year at the Wainwright Stampede Grounds and draws onlookers from all over Alberta. With many events happening throughout the weekend, everyone has something to enjoy, including five performances of Canadian Professional Rodeo, four days of Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Races, the Downtown Parade, amusement rides, and a Cabaret. For the Rodeo and Chuckwagon Races, attendees can purchase a weekend pass for $150 excluding the cabaret. The pass is good for all performances, and a chance at the door prize; a 2018 Dodge Quad Cab 4x4. The Chuckwagon Races are held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The Rodeo Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, 9 p.m. on Saturday, and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday for the ‘Battle of the Buckles’ Finals. “All around it will be a great event for the whole weekend. We have events every day

and they are all good! Hopefully, we’ll have some good weather and that the CPCA Chuckwagons will get four days of good running,” said Stampede President Murray Bretzer. The Parade will be on June 23 at 10 a.m. with the route available on the Stampede website. West Coast Amusements will be preparing for the influx of people that come every year to enjoy the midway full of rides and games. Wristbands and tickets are available to purchase each day and give you all day access to multiple rides. Throughout the Stampede weekend you won’t go hungry with a wide array of barbeques and pancake breakfasts to visit in the town of Wainwright. Each breakfast and lunch supports a cause, including the Alzheimers Society of Alberta and the Battle River Victims Society, etc. A Friday night dance featuring the band Roadkill will begin at 9:30 p.m. with free admission. The Cabaret is held on Saturday, June 23 after the ‘Rodeo Under the Lights’ at the Peace Memorial Communiplex with tickets costing $20. This year the featured performer is Jerry Sereda, a coun-

One More Day Phyllis Webb

July 13, 1931 - June 25, 2014 I wish for nothing more than just one more day. For I would give it all, just to hear her say. It’s funny how in life it seems, You take for granted the most important things. To feel her close, and be safe again, safe from my own self, back with my best friend. Yes, she was the best, and at other times the only, my friend, you left me here, and now my heart is lonely. If you could just come back, if only for one day, I’d make sure that I’d listen to all you had to say. And now that it’s too late, you cannot speak anymore. I finally realized, I should have heard you before. And if I could do it over, I’d only change one thing, I’d tell you that I love you, and how much joy to me you bring. No one will ever know quite how I feel inside, And on that day you left, you weren’t the only one who died. You have always been there, Mom, and you loved me ‘til the end, So with all my heart and soul, I love you too, My Friend. Love Scott & Bernie, Jan & Ray, Sandi & Tiberio, Dave & Lynn, Rob & Carol, Margaret & Denis and all your grandchildren.

Taco salad is a great one-dish meal, that is easy to make, even on work weekdays. It is a great salad for summer suppers. It’s a family favourite and a go-to meal when I need to cook something fast and delicious. If you are preparing this salad to take to a potluck, don’t add the dressing or taco chips until just before serving as the chips will go soggy and the lettuce will wilt. With this recipe you can skip using the taco seasoning mix and bypass the added chemicals, simply by using spices that you have in your cupboard already. You can use my recipe for ranch dressing, which tastes amazing and fresh, with taco salad. In an earlier column I shared the recipe for Avocado Garlic Lime dress-

If you are pressed for time or ingredients, many people will use a commercial Catalina dressing or ranch dressing for their taco salad, just read labels and try to find one that has the least amount of additives. To begin, prepare the meat topping and allow cooling off, preparing the salad, and the salad dressing. There are two ways to serve, one way is to add the meat and dressing into the salad, stir and serve. The second way is plated. That is to plate the salad, break some taco chips on top, spoon on meat topping and then top with the salad dressing.

Canada Day Your Way This year, Canada Day falls on Sunday, July 1. There are plenty of ways you can join in, whether you’re alone or with your family. Here are a few of our favourite Canada Day activities: Go to the park. Has your town planned a day-long event around the park bandstand with live entertainment and funfair games? Round up your sun hat, lawn chair and a cooler of drinks and go join the festivities. If there’s nothing official happening, the next town over most likely has something going on. Why not take a drive over and see? Join a parade. Ah, the hottest days of summer. You can finally

put on those white summer slacks and red t-shirt and wave the maple leaf flag. See if your town’s putting on a kids’ redand-white bicycle-decorating contest and offer to help out. If not, maybe you’re just the person to start the tradition. Host a supper. After a lively day down at the park who wants to end things at home alone? Invite a few friends or neighbours over to keep the celebration going. You may want to offer the hotdogs or hamburgers and invite your guests to bring the salads and red-and-white desserts. It’ll be a sweet Canada Day that everyone remembers.

He went on to say that his experience included hands-on learning and going deep into the history of racism, ‘which is still happening today’. “As a professional actor, we still learn when we are on set working. Staying in character is a challenge while doing rehearsals for the fighting scenes. Method acting is good to work on (staying in character until it’s time to de-role at the end of the day),” said Marty-Pahtaykan. As one of the Marty Brothers (along with Samuel and Ricky Marty Jr. who are also actors), his passion for acting has led Tristen to film as far away as Budapest and Scotland. “I’ve also suppor ted my younger brother, Samuel, while he was living

According to www.cbc.ca, the film tells the story of a young Ojibwe boy who is torn from his family and forced into a residential school, where he is forbidden to speak his language and faces brutal punishment for the tiniest transgressions. His only solace comes from a sheet of ice, and his love of hockey eventually carries him to stardom; however, his past continues to haunt him. Though the film covers tough subjects, it shines a light on truth and reconciliation, the impact of residential schools, and coping with trauma.

Both graduates of the Class of 2018 received a scholarship and a trip to the trip to the 2019 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas, Nev., for their podium finishes. “We are thrilled with our students’ competition success,” says Rochelle Horne, Interior Design Technology

Instructor. “ We know how hard our students work to create these awardwinning designs and take the lead in all aspects of their work. We’re very proud of their accomplishments in and beyond our studio.” The NKBA design competition challenged students to design a small kitchen for a Habitat for Humanit y home. Nearly 300 competitors from across Nor th America submitted entries. “It’s an honour to be part of Lakeland College’s award-winning legacy,” says Davediuk, of Bonny ville, Alta. “My concept was about natural and c l e a n , n ew b e g i n n i n g s f o r a n ew family to come in and enjoy the space and make it their home.

‘Tis the Field Trip season. Last week many elementary students left the school to explore and learn off campus. On Tuesday, June 12, Ms. McDermott’s and Mrs. Ryan’s grade one students boarded the bus filled with excitement and anticipation as they headed to Lloydminster. The students first stop was the Border City Petting Zoo. This hands-on zoo features African lions, a camel, a variety of birds and reptiles. The students enjoyed seeing all these animals and learning lots about them. After the Petting Zoo they headed to Bud Miller Park for lunch and some playtime. On Wednesday, June 13, Mrs. Lysons and Mrs. Svenungard spent the day at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre. They had an amazing day exploring this beautiful area and learning so much about nature. Thursday, June 14 saw Mrs. Martin’s and Mrs. McCormack’s class head out early for the Edmonton Valley Zoo. It was a perfect day to explore the zoo, and they were able to see a variety of animals.

Arctic Wolves were very active, and the Red Pandas are extremely cute. After exploring for an hour in small groups, they gathered into one group to learn more about the zoo with their guide, Robert. The students learned how fur, feathers and scales act like a coat for animals to keep them warm, and dry. It is also used for camouflage or a warning to their prey. It was a wonderful day of learning and the students were introduced to many animals they have never seen before. To break up the trip, the students had a chance to visit the Pysanka in Vegreville and get some activity at the playground. On June 5, Mrs. Roth’s Grade Fours were very happy to welcome Shelly Ann Dodgson to their classroom. Mrs. Dodgson travels throughout northern Alberta sharing information about 4H and the Canadian Agriculture Program. The children learned a lot about agriculture in Canada and each received two booklets that explain the many different careers involved with agriculture. It was a fun filled hour with lots of laughs and lots of information. Thanks, Shelly Ann! Grade 3S and 4R were very excited to welcome the Vermilion Public Library to

St. Jerome’s on Tuesday, June 12. Stuart and Shelia read two great books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Librarian From the Black Lagoon. The children were very excited to hear about the Summer Reading Club that the Library is hosting this summer to encourage kids to read over the summer and to keep those reading levels up. Thanks again to the Public Library for the visit and the great Knock Knock jokes. Both brightened up

our day! Students in grade eight are finishing up their unit about Japan. Mrs. Crate brought in some Japanese items for the students to look at and they were fortunate to have some brave students model the kimonas. This week is busy with Kindergarten graduations and field trips and exams for middle level and high school students. Keep in touch through our Facebook page and website, stjschool.org.

ATVs: Be As Safe As Possible

AHS Submitted

It’s Child Safety Week and Alberta Health Services (AHS) is reminding all Albertans to make all-terrain vehicle (ATV) safety a priority this week and every week. ATVs pose significant risk to all users and particularly children less than 16 years of age, who have not yet developed to the point of having the strength, skills or judgment needed to operate an ATV. Over a one-year period ending April 1, 2017, 78 children were seen in Alberta’s two pediatric emergency departments due to ATV-related injuries; 31 required hospital admission and one died.

To protect children less than 16 years of worn every ride can save your life. From age, parents and caregivers are advised 2002 to 2013, 41 per cent of quad-rider to ensure these children do not drive deaths in Alberta were due to head injuor ride in an ATV.

in proper working condition before you hit the trails. • Drive sober: Don’t drink or do drugs before or while operating an ATV: 55 per cent of those who died in ATV crashes between 2002 and 2013 tested positive for alcohol. • Seek help: Before you head out on the trail, let others know where you’re going and when they should expect you back. This helps your loved ones know when to call for help if you’ve been gone too long. Take a cellphone or working radio with you, as well as a first aid-kit.

On June 6, Mr. Bates, principal of JR Robson School, came over to VES to talk with the Grade 6 students about what grade seven will look like for them next year. The Grade 6 students then walked over to JR on June 8 for a mock day of grade 7. They had the opportunity to meet the teachers who will instruct them next year, have a tour of the school, do some activities and enjoy a lunch there. Our present kindergarten students got to stay home on June 6 and 7, and the 2018 -19 kindergarten students were present at VES on those days. The future kindergarten students got to visit VES for a trial run, checking out the school, the staff, and the other students. The Grade 4 classes ventured to Fort Edmonton on June 7 for an exciting day of learning. They started with a picnic lunch and then split into two groups for guided tours of the 1846 Fort. Each group got to make bannock on a stick, explore John Rowand’s house, meet an actor portraying Reverend Rundle, and build a travois (a type of sled used to carry goods). When they were finished in the 1846 Fort, everyone did some quick exploration of 1885

Street and 1905 Street. They then rode a streetcar back to the entrance to get on the bus, and make their way to McDonald’s for an early supper before heading back to Vermilion. Thanks to all the parent volunteers who helped to make it a great day. On June 8 and 11, Mrs. MacMillan had pizza parties during lunch for her Library Club members. These Grade 4-6 students have been in the Learning Commons several times this year, shelving and cataloging books and keeping the Learning Commons in order. In their science unit called “Building Things”, Grade 1 students were challenged with building a bridge that used only snap cubes and jumbo popsicle sticks. Working 3” wide version together, each group did very well with one

group even creating the Vermilion Highway 41 Bridge. Mr. Calvin Anhorn, our new principal for the 2018-19 school year, came to VES on June 13. He toured the school, visiting classrooms, students and staff. We would like to extend a warm VES welcome to him and look forward to working with him in the fall. Are you interested in guitar or piano lessons for your child? VES will be offering space for Dennis Gerik to offer guitar lessons and Corrine Theiss to offer piano lessons during school hours. These will be 30 minute lessons once a week.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please email Dennis at dgerik@telusplanet.net or Corinne at cortheiss@gmail. com.

Get Ready, Get Set, Plan Your Float

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The 112th Annual Vermilion Fair is just over a month away, and that means the Parade is also on its way, so put on your thinking caps and enter a float in this year’s Parade!! The theme for the Fair is “Sew it, Grow it, Show it” and that theme resonates into the Parade. “Sew It” signifies the handiwork and skills showcased at the Exhibit Hall and Trade Show; “Grow It” focuses on the agricultural pieces from carrots to cattle; and “Show It” is all encompassing of all that is

shown or put on display during the Vermilion Fair from photography to antique tractors, to sheep”, said the Vermilion Agricultural Society. Everyone is encouraged to incorporate that theme into their floats for the Parade along with vibrant music. “We would love everyone to add music to their float whether it is live music or from a speaker playing really upbeat music to add vibrancy to the Parade,” said the Vermilion Agricultural Society. The categories for this year’s judging include Commercial, Out-of-Town, Senior

Beat The Big Fly Problem with SmartLic IGR Supplements! Horn flies can cause big problems for cattle and cattle producers. Cattle expend high levels of energy fending off biting horn flies. The result can be devastating to your herd. Significant weight loss and poor cattle development are just two of the many issues that horn flies cause. SmartLic supplements can you win the battle against horn flies! SmartLic NE-22 IGR, NE-Mag 22 IGR, NE-30 IGR and MinLic IGR supplements fortified with Altosid® can help reduce horn fly populations by breaking the life cycle of the fly, preventing the development of biting adult flies.
