‘It Can’t Happen To Me – Risk Awareness’

Angela Mouly Reporter

Mannville – Minburn – Innisfree Family and Community Support Services (M-MIF.C.S.S.) hosted their 21st mock presentation ‘It Can’t Happen To Me – Risk Awareness Project’ for Grade 9 students in Mannville on May 1.

Students from Mannville, Innisfree, Irma, and Creighton Colony Schools had the opportunity to learn about the services available and procedures that can take place during traumatic events by viewing the mock – motor vehicle collision, as well as presentations that related to the consequences of negative risk taking.

The overall message to the students was that risk management and choices are a part of life. “This project gives youth the power to choose through education and the motivation to choose wisely.

Acknowledge that texting and driving, drinking and driving, and not wearing your seatbelt are negative risks. Your actions

positive or negative affect you, your family, and the community. Do your part in keeping safe,” said Jannette Riedel, M-M-IF.C.S.S. During the presentation, students viewed the scene of a mock-partial roll over and weighed the seriousness of risk taking.

As a teacher and Mannville Fire Department training officer, Zane Polishuk described play by play details of what would happen in a live situation. He commented, “We’re all local. When my tones go off to alert me to a Fire Dept call, my first thought is always, ‘Who is it; is it one of mine?’”

Funeral Director and Embalmer for Lakeland Funeral Home, Jim Storch added, “It takes a community to raise a child; it also takes a community to grieve.

Think about your decisions before you take action.”

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to visit a mock-trauma

room, and receive speeches from Vermilion RCMP and Victim Services, Prairie EMS, Lakeland Funeral Home, and guest speaker Nicole Martin. Comments from

The mock-presentation brought very real awareness to the consequences of texting and driving.

UFA Celebrating Jack Rehill’s Retirement After 47 Years

Linda Hilkewich Reporter

After 47 years of dedication to the UFA Farm and Ranch Supply Store, Manager Jack Rehill retired from the Vermilion location on April 30.

Jack’s adventures with UFA began in his home town of Hanna then Spruce Grove, Provost, Airdrie, and lastly Vermilion where he found the love of his life, married and made it his permanent residence. Jack is very well liked among the farming community in both local, and surrounding areas.

“I will miss the customer contact and involvement most as I have developed a long list of good cliental and long-term friendships,” said Rehill.

Most of the staff at Vermilion UFA are long term; ranging from 1 - 40 years of service. After receiving years of guidance, they will be missing his family-like charm. “ He was the best boss anybody

could ask for; his boots will be hard to fill,” said Iventory Management Clerk, Donna Rudyk who worked with Jack for 10 years.

Twenty-one-year colleague, Monalynn, said that over the years, the store had undergone many renovations with Jack often doing the work himself after hours.

“He never asked us to do anything that he wouldn’t do himself. He showed amazing leadership, and maintained many long term employees because of the way he treated his staff,” said Sawatsky.

Activities Jack enjoyed in Vermilion included various community events such as curling and his involvement with the Agricultural Society.

Friends and past colleagues from out of town made their way to help Jack celebrate, as well as many local customers and friends. Everyone was treated by a lovely catered lunch as

well as cake and coffee.

The first few weeks after retirement, J ac k p l an s to o bt ain s o m e mu c h needed rest and relaxation. Do not be surprised if you see Jack out visiting and helping the farmers who need a helping hand.

The Vermilion Lions Club will be hosting their annual Walk for Dog Guides event at the Vermilion Provincial Park on May 26, with sign in at 1 p.m. and walk at 2 p.m.

The walk is a family and dog-friendly event that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities.

The walk raises funds to provide lifechanging Dog Guides to Canadians with varying medical and physical disabilities.

One-hundred percent of the funds raised go towards the training and placement of Dog Guides, and since 1985 they have raised more than $15 million.

According to Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, the event has been

Upcoming Dog Walk

carried out for more than 32 years, and the Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides has been a vital national fundraiser in support of Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides.

The national events take place in approximately 300 communities across Canada.

Providing specially trained Dog Guides increase the independence, mobility, and safety of their handlers. The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides rely on the generous support of volunteers, donors, and partners to meet its goal of giving Canadians a new lease on life. Regardless of the approximate $25,000 expense, it takes to raise, train, and place each dog; each eligible Canadian receives a dog guide at no cost to them.

“We have been doing the walk here in

Vermilion for the past nine years and have raised approximately $27,000; that’s the equivalent of one dog raised, trained and placed.

I am very happy for all the help from Justin Thompson, Kirby Whitlock and the

members of the Lions Club in organizing the walk. I am also thankful for all the supporters that come out each year; this dog walk is very special to me,” said Jimmy Cryderman, Lions Club member and organizer of the Walk for Dog Guides.

Angel Food Cake With Flower Petals

Columnist

I love spring and s u m m er a n d a n g e l food cakes. They seem to go together for me. You can drizzle this cake with icing and then decorate with edible flower petals such as from the prairie wild rose, the pansy, sunflower, peony, and lilac. Be sure that they have not been sprayed with chemicals before using them and note that not all flower petals are edible, some are poisonous. Making an angel food cake from scratch is both an art and a science.

The taste of a homemade angel food cake is so much better than a cake mix or bakery cake. For many years, I was not able to crack the code to a really good angel food cake. Af ter much determination, research and many

cakes, angel food heaven has finally given up its secrets. Today I am going to share those secrets, so you too can climb up to angel food cake success.

First let’s look at the science behind the angel food cake: 12 eggs should be at room temperature and must be carefully separated to avoid any yolk.

The egg whites are beaten to the soft peak stage. I have beaten the egg whites to the stif f peak stage, but the cake is never as high as one in which the egg whites are at the soft peak stage. Using cream of tartar will help to strengthen the egg white. It is best to use granulated sugar to add to the egg whites for strength, and use powdered sugar when sifting it into the flour for lightness. Cake flour should be used instead of all purpose, for a light, tender and high cake. I used a simple metal strainer to sift the flour and sugar together, and it was much

with a mix master until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat until the egg whites start to form soft peaks. Gradually add the granulated sugar while beating, keeping the egg whites in the soft peak stage. Do not beat to the stiff peak stage. In the last 5 seconds add the vanilla. Sift some of the flour mixture over the delicate beaten egg whites, and then gently fold the flour mix ture into the egg white with one stroke. Continue until all the flour mixture is folded in. Do not over stir. Pour into an ungreased, two piece tube pan and bake for 43 – 50 minutes. Over baking caused the cake to deflate. Turn the cake pan upside down and allow to completely cool before removing. Ser ve with a thin butter cream icing which you can decorate with edible flower petals, and/or serve with whipped cream and fruit.

The Clandonald Separate School

There have been many schools in the Vermilion area over the years but one of the most well-known and prominent was the Clandonald Separate School.

First opened in September of 1929, this school operated with grades one through eight. For those students that wanted high school classes, that was offered through a paid tuition beginning in 1930.

The school was part of the convent run by the Benedictine Sisters, with Sister Ruth serving as the main teacher. She would serve from 1929 to 1933 Eventually, Mrs. Sherback out of Vermilion was

in place in 1930 to help as the teacher for grades one to eight. Eventually, the Benedictine Sisters took over the entire school’s teaching needs. One big reason for this was that money was tight and the Sister were able to teach for a very low cost.

The first ever graduate from this school was Tony Convey.

The school would operate under the Convent until 1932 when it changed hands and the Sisters of St. Joseph took over.

In 1936, a new two-room school was built, with part of the Convent also still being used for teaching purposes. Father Gillis served as chair of the school at this time, until he went overseas during the Second World War. While away, he paid

faster than using my flour sifter. The right amount of sugar must be used, as I have found that cutting back on the sugar reduces the height of the cake and produces a tougher cake that lacks flavour. This is a cake that requires: the right ingredients, in the right order and handled by the right method. Good Luck and happy spring.

This would be the last school building, and it would serve classes one to nine when the high school was disbanded in 1968. From that point, students were shipped to Vermilion for high school classes.

In 1969, the Separate School District was dissolved and the county took over the school building. Eventually, those buildings associated with the school

would be sold off.

This would bring an end to the short but interesting history of the Clandonald Separate School.

At any rate, the stereotypical Chicago nicknames lived up to them a little too well, and the cold weather apparel and toques on Chicagoans looked rather more worn than once or twice a year.

For someone that grew up playing ball on local school diamonds, Kitscoty ball tournaments, and remembering the Tolland Cubs community team Dad had once played for, a trip to Chicago was going to mean an MLB pilgrimage out of the trip. Within the space of 24 hours had picked up both a Sox and Cubs ball cap and for the price of a $5 bleacher seat got into Comiskey Park to get a hand touched to the first homerun ball of 5th inning back to back jacks. Given the fact only about 11 players have made it to MLB baseball from Alberta, making an educated guess that other than New York Giant, and Vermilion born, Charlie Mead…joined a rather select group.

I was left a little disappointed that 1914 built Wrigley looked far too ‘new’ from renovations compared to my recent visit to Fenway in Boston…and the fabled outfield ivy was still rather leafless. If anything since coming back, it’s been getting a hand to the alarm button for squeezing in more sleep that has been needed. Because let’s face it… it’s spring time around here…and there are plenty of jobs needing more energy to get a hand to. If you ever happened to get a hand or come home with a ball from a Major League game, would love to hear the story.

Canadian Prairie Pickers are once again touring the area.

Town Clean Up Barbeque

The Town of Vermilion celebrated their Clean Up Week with a barbeque for volunteers on May 3.

During the first week of May, the town distributed requests and posted m a p s t hrou g h s o c ial m e d ia . T hey received calls from several volunteers; individuals, families, and community groups and organizations to cover certain areas.

The town supplied garbage bags, safety vests, and provided garbage

p i c k- u p. T hroug hout t he week , parks, streets, and neighbourhoods were freed of waste and volunteers commented on the awareness of the program and how the habit is contagious. “ It is great that ever yone gets to g et h er a n d c l ea n s u p t h e tow n.

Everyone always pulls together to do things in Vermilion; helping to make it look better and stronger,” said volunteer, Kirby Whitlock.

W i t h t h e c o o l w e a t h e r, g u e s t s enjoyed barbequed hamburgers in the

council chambers.

“Without the volunteers we couldn’t cover the town. One of the comments we always receive from visitors is on cleanliness. With this being the big clean-up after winter, many residents often continue throughout the year,” said Mayor, Caroline McAuley.

How To Reseed Bare Spots In Your Lawn (NC) Bare spots happen on almost every lawn. They can be caused by h e av y fo ot tr af fi c or r o u g h w i nter weather.

Whatever the reason, if the spot is larger than a foot wide, it’s important to patch it. Otherwise, weeds will quickly fill the space, or a deep rut can develop if the soil erodes without grass to hold it in place.

For tunately, fixing bare spots is easy. Here are some tips from The Home Depot Canada to help you get started.

Choose your seeds.

A good rule of thumb is to try to use the same mix of seeds planted in the surrounding area so the new growth will match what’s already there. If your

bare spot is from high traffic, it might be a good idea to patch it with a seed blend meant for high-traf fic areas.

Also, if the bare spot is in a shady spot under a tree, use a shade mix.

Spread the seeds.

Spread out the grass seeds accordi n g to p ac k ag e d ire c t i o n s, eve n l y covering the entire area at the thickness stated. Cover the grass seed very lightly with soil, no deeper than about one- quar ter inch thick. Ver y lightly tamp down the soil on top of the grass seed.

Use a fertilizer.

A p p l y a l i g ht fe r t i l izer, s u c h a s Vigoro Lawn Fer tilizer, all over the patch. You can cover the patch with straw to keep the seeds in place.

Hydrate the area.

Water lightly early in the morning and keep it damp until you see the new grass sprouting, whic h should happen within about two weeks. Make sure the area stays damp and moist.

Maintain your new grass.

Once the new grass gets growing, water it less often but for longer periods of time to encourage deep root grow th. Don’t mow the new grass until it’s about three inches tall – about three weeks’ worth of growth.

Top 4 Home Improvement Trends For 2019 (NC) Planning a renovation this summer? Check out the top trends in design, products, and techniques for transforming your home.

Kitchens and bathrooms If you’re looking to make a big change this year, a kitchen or bathroom renovation is the way to go. These two rooms continue to top lists as the most popular remodeling projects, especially if you’re looking to sell your home as they typically provide the highest return on investment and add significant value in the eyes of

potential buyers.

Florals Floral-print furniture is a popular way to incorporate this trend in your home. A bold patterned chair or sofa is a great option and really pops when paired with a solid wall colour to keep the space grounded.

Or, try a fun wallpaper in a floral pattern in the bedroom or bathroom.

Double islands When you’re graced with a large open kitchen space, go big with double islands.

This custom feature can do a whole lot

more than offer extra prep space. With plenty of room for storage, you’ll be able to conceal appliances like the dishwasher and microwave, freeing up even more counter space. For an easy way to add a dishwasher to your islands, check out the Sanivite pump system from Saniflo.

Home offices Working from home is more popular as the number of people who work freelance or remotely

continues to grow. A stylish home office can be a great way to keep your independent work space separate from the rest of your home living area. For a productive home working environment, include functional pieces like custom built-in shelves, a comfortable chair and great lighting.

What Do Moms Really Want For Mother’s Day? Are you having trouble finding the perfect Mother’s Day present? If so, then perhaps you should consider that what your mom really wants is time — both to share with her loved ones and to enjoy by herself. Here are a few ways to give it to her.

PLAN A DAY OF ACTIVITIES Plan a full day of activities for the family so Mom can sit back and enjoy spending time with her loved ones, without the hassle of having to manage

itineraries, make reservations or organize any of the other details.

DO THE SPRING CLEANING Deep clean the kitchen, organize the closet or wash all the windows.

You can even hire a cleaning company to do the job; you’ll score the brownie points without having to lift a finger.

Sort the family photos Many families have countless digital photographs on their computers that could stand to be organized. Others

have piles of printed pictures that need to be sorted. Give Mom a reason to smile by tidying up the photos and presenting them to her in an album.

Be sure to spend some time reminiscing with her as she flips through it.

OFFER HER A DAY OFF If she’s got young kids, hire a babysitter for the day. This will give her a

much needed break and the chance to do whatever she wants. If you really want to spoil her, send her to a spa to get pampered.

Mom doesn’t really need things for Mother’s Day. What she really wants is a shorter to-do list, a bit of down time and to enjoy the company of her family.

Treat Mom At Boston Pizza E-Gift Cards are 15% off at BostonPizza.com from May 1st to Mother’s Day!

Three Unique Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Mother’s Day is fast approaching, so it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll celebrate. Here are a few ideas that are sure to put a smile on her face.

• A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT Is your mom the type of woman who’s never satisfied with the way

she looks? Treat her to a session with a professional photographer! This way she can finally have a picture of herself she actually likes.

D o n’ t worr y: an ex p er ie n c e d photographer will know exactly how to find the perfect angle to immortalize Mom’s unique beauty. If you want to make her feel even more confident,

book an appointment with a professional stylist right before the shoot.

• A TREE If you’re looking for a gift for your nature-loving mom, have her choose a beautiful tree that she can plant wherever she pleases.

If she lives in an apartment, have her choose a smaller tree that she can keep indoors. Ideally, she should pick one that doesn’t require too much maintenance. She’ll surely be moved by your special gift and out-ofthe-box thinking.

• A PERSONALIZED TRINKET There are all sorts of different companies out there that let you personalize clothing, pillows, cups, puzzles, jewellery, calendars, aprons — virtually any other item you can think of!

You could engrave, embroider or print whatever you like on the gift you want to give your mother. Think about using a special image, an inspiring quote or simply her name. This

thoughtful present is guaranteed to make Mom smile.

It can be very diffi-

Consider asking yourself why you feel lonely. Are you geographically isolated? Do you intentionally isolate yourself? Are elements of your lifest yle contributing to your loneliness? Is it possible that there may be other contributing factors? Could you be suffering from depression or social anxiety? Do you have physical health challenges presenting a barrier to c onne c tion? Is it possi ble that this is just a temporary feeling while you are getting settled after a significant life change? Assuming there are no physical or mental health problems that you need to address first, there are several steps you can take to build connection with others.

Volunteering, coaching, joining clubs,

mentoring, and taking or teaching classes can be a great way to meet others. Think about the kinds of relationships you are looking for and take it slow. You may want to start by just building confidence and comfor t in public spaces before joining a group.

Reach out to family and consider building or rebuilding relationships. If you are physically separated, explore how ele c troni c c ommuni c ation may be helpful for you. Remember, we’re wired for connection but it may take a little time and effort.

Lonelines s that per sists c an be linked to depression, anxiet y, and increased physical health problems so if loneliness persists or is negatively affecting your life, consider reaching out to a mental health professional in our community.

Emergency Preparedness – Why Bother?

Village of Mannville Submitted

May 5 – 11, 2019 is Emergency Preparedness Week across Canada.

Some of us may have made note of this; the majority of us probably shrug, and continue on our way. After all, we might think, nothing really bad has happened in our region during our lifetime. Sure, we have had some fierce winter storms, dust storms, some bad road accidents, and the occasional funnel cloud or tornado sightings; but nothing to worry about, eh? We’re used to those things. Besides, if anything were to happen, we’d all pitch in and help. That has always been the rural way.

BUT, in case you haven’t noticed, even in Alberta, disasters have been occurring more frequently. Some of the costliest have occurred between 2003 and 2018,

with wildfires in Slave Lake, hailstorms in the Calgary area, and most recently the Fort McMurray fire, from which the region is still recovering. If there have been any lessons learned from these events, it is that preparation is essential. To that end, right across Canada, governments have adopted the Incident Command System to formalize and standardize training and response.

So why do we remain complacent?

Why do we think we are immune?

Because it has never happened to us?

But it might…and we are, typically, not ready. And we should be, because disaster responders may not be able to get to us immediately, and we need to be prepared to be self-sufficient for the first 72 hours.

So what can we, as individuals, do?

Make an Emergency Plan and Emer-

gency Kit for your family, and your pets.

Learn how to be prepared by contacting Alberta Emergency Management Agency at www.aema.alberta.ca. Other information sources for emergency preparedness include: Public Safety Canada at www.GetPrepared.ca or www.mGetPrepared.ca; Environment Canada at www. ec.gc.ca.

Contact your local municipality to volunteer with your local Emergency Management group, or join the amazing people who are tasked with operating your local reception centre(s) in case of an evacuation order. Learn about Emergency Social Services through your local FCSS. Receive invaluable, free, training to equip you with the skills needed to function during a disaster. Be aware.

Be ready. Be proactive. Join your local emergency management team.

During preparations for the Annual Vermilion Rotary Garage Sale held in April, Vermilion Dance Association members and their families volunteered their time to help wash and sort items donated to the annual sale. To show the club’s appreciation, Rotary Club President, Rebekah Warkentin, presented VDA dancers with a donation as thanks for their contribution.

VDA is grateful for the donation, and also for the opportunity for our dancers to help give back to the community who has been so supportive of dance for the last 30 years. Vermilion Dance Association will be celebrating its’ 30th Annual Dance Festival in April 2020. Photo submitted

Elementary students will be hosting their Declamation Presentation next week.

Thank you to the Vermilion Rotary Club for the generous donation of $5,000 to the St. Jerome’s Inclusive Playground. Your support will help us to create a playground, which will be accessible for the entire community.

On April 17, grade 10 and grade 6 social studies students had the exciting opportunity to take part in Rep Day, a nationwide civic education initiative that connects elected representatives with students.

Shannon Stubbs, the Member of Parliament for Lakeland, visited St. Jerome’s and answered questions about current political issues and her experience working in Ottawa. Thank you to MP Stubbs, along with constituency office staff Tina and Juanita, for taking time out of your busy schedule to teach our students about democracy!

Our Grade 11 students spent two days last week at Camp Warwa team building and making memories. The theme, for the grade 11 Retreat was “Legacy”. They

were challenged, through activity and quiet reflection, to consider the “legacy” that they would like to be remembered for, at St. Jerome’s and in life, and how to achieve it.

Thank you to Mr. MacMillan, Mr. Martin, and Mrs. MacMillan for spending the retreat with this groups of amazing students.

Mrs. Beaudette’s grade six would like to thank all of the students of St. Jerome’s for your support of their “Ice Cream Float”

fundraiser efforts. They have been working hard raising money throughout the year for their amazing field trip to Drumheller this week, May 8 and 9.
