The Royal Canadian Air Force’s 42 Radar Squadron based out of Cold Lake deployed approximately 30 personnel to Vermilion from May 2 - 28.

Two locations were set up including an operations site and a radar site, both manned 24/7 with personnel working 8 12 hour shifts in collaboration with Exercise Maple Resolve which was scheduled from May 11 - 25. 42 Radar Squadron is one of two deployable radar squadrons in Canada, and Maple Resolve involved American, British, French, and Canadian troops working together including over 5,000 people.

Sgt Filiatreault explained that they are an operational training unit who were providing radio capability, satellite mission control, and overseeing quite a

lot of electronics. Lt Liebrecht said that with a small group, everyone is specialized to do a lot of different things.

“Since we are a NATO country we have to be familiar with a lot of different types of kits and equipment,” said Lt Liebrecht.

42 Radar Squadron used radar that can steer the beam electronically and can see 240 nautical miles or approximately 400 km. A third party from Ottawa tested the safety ranges of radiation from the radar prior to exercises and onlookers stood within a safe zone of radiation.

“Civilian safety is number one for us,” said Lt Tae Wan Kim. “ We provide sur veillance of the airspace in support of Exercise Maple Resolve which is a large primarily army, but joint exercise out of the Wainwright Training Area. The Air Force integrates

by providing both rotary aviation (helicopters) and close air support (Alpha jets and CF-18s), but no aircraft landed in Vermilion due to the runway. Maple Resolve Exercise is a simulated war determining how ground forces would react. We provide a common operating picture and control the airplanes going into that exercise area. The aircraft are then handed off to controllers (people on the ground).

Our squadron mandate is validated by making sure our equipment and personnel are ready to be deployed in response to any Government of Canada initiatives which could include anything from protecting a coastline to overseas operations,” said MWO Carlisle Mason.

42 Radar Squadron’s call sign is ‘Trapline’; and also participating was United States Air Force exchange officer,

Capt Heyne, who was the Detachment Commanding Officer.

Lt Liebrecht was trained in Cornwall, Ontario in 2017 and said joining the Air Force was the best decision he’s made.

After monitoring Wainwright airspace, and facilitating the air battle he said, “We’re here just to make sure that everyone gets home safe.”

MWO Mason continued to describe that the operations site housed both an Operations MECC (mobile environmentally controlled container) and a Welcome MECC. The Welcome MECC was used as a nice place to get out of the elements and discuss lessons learned etc. This year, they tried using new microwaves to feed their information and in addition had radio antennas from their operations MECC.

Cattle Woman - April Ockerman

Cattle woman, April Ockerman, has just released two new podcasts and three new e-books detailing all kinds of helpful information for anyone in the cattle industry.

They are geared towards people interested in halter training cattle, selling cattle and showing cattle.

Producers and 4-H members alike can benefit from her first-hand knowledge in the industry as she continues to manage her own herd and help with her family beef cow-calf operation near Dewberry, Alberta. In her free time, Ockerman also judges showmanship and grooming for beef shows, judges public speaking and offers one on one coaching with 4-H members and their calves.

Her three e-books are titled, ‘Why Train Cattle,’ ‘Complete Guide To Halter Training Cattle,’ and ‘Complete Guide To Leading Cattle.’ Her two podcasts are titled ‘Training Cattle, Selling Cattle, Showing Cattle & TG,’ and ‘A Voice of ALO Cattle Women.’ Her e-books are available on www.amazon.ca, and her podcasts can be listened to at https://podcasts.apple. com, http://alotgjp67.libsyn.com/ or http:// april89.libsyn.com.

Ockerman previously found that there

was limited material for these types of books available, especially online. Subsequently, she thought it would be a great niche for her to focus on.

“I decided to do the podcasts and e-books because it was a way for me to give back and they are a great education and learning tool for people,” said Ockerman.

The process for creating podcasts was something she had wanted to do for a long time but put off being apprehensive about what people would think. In October of 2018, she decided to go for it, and created episodes putting them up on the directory, and was surprised about how much positive feedback she received.

Her podcasts explain why beef producers, cattle ranchers, or people who show their cattle would train them, and educate people already in the industry on how a cow can become quieter. Ranchers or 4-H members can learn extremely valuable techniques on how to halter train their cattle. She also shares tricks to make leading progression easier overall, as well as her knowledge on tower gardens.

“These e-books and podcasts allow people to keep up to date with my work, have a broader reach as well as provide a channel or hub of information to download

or listen to whenever you like which is a huge benefit. They are easy to understand so people don’t have to go searching for information on how to do things. Having the convenience of technology now available helps when people are having issues because they can use their phone in the corral and within minutes can find the technique that they want to use.

I put up a brand new episode on both podcast shows each week and will be releasing some online courses later this month. I have been running my podcast

for the last eight months and on average have 67 people per month download my podcast episodes on the first show and 34 people who download the episodes per month on the other show and these numbers are growing daily! I also reach people from all over the world, for example, people listen from Canada, the United States, and Australia. At the end of the day, I’m able to educate, promote and have fun sharing my knowledge on these two podcasts and that’s what makes my heart happy!” said Ockerman.

May 21, 2019 | The Vermilion Voice Continued from page 1 They ran one from the airport building, but provided four additional phone lines; and used a satellite and a satellite communications trailer to transmit information. With personnel working around the clock, they used a light trailer to illuminate the area. They also had a refrigeration mechanical trailer, and a generator with a berm around for environmental concerns (in the event of a spill). The berm had a water filtration system that could filter out contaminates and keep from overflowing. Their TFAR (trailer forward area refueling) got refuelled from Lloydminster every few days, and their RM truck with a slip tank was used to deliver fuel from site to site.

This year, 42 Radar Squadron was thrilled to be able to use 4Wing Cold Lake’s deployable fitness centre. Using brand new equipment for a new initiative, personnel enjoyed the opportunity to keep fit. It was the first time they have had such equipment and did not feel lacking during exercises.

He went on to describe how they use safety with fire stations and how MECCs are packed up to go. Their communications equipment was on an A-frame that fits on a PLS (pallet loading system).

A large hook on a hydraulic system is designed to guide and load H-frames or A-frames onto the trucks. They used a HLVW (heavy logistics vehicle wheeled), and an HESV (heavy equipment service vehicle) more robust than the HLVW each with trailers to haul behind.

“Everything is designed to be both road and air transportable. Things have been going well for us; operationally it’s been a success so far,” said MWO Mason.

During a tour of the sites given to local flying club members, Lt Tae Wan Kim

said, “Thanks for taking the time to show interest in what we do and support the troops.”

“It’s an amazing facility; to think that this can all be transported in 72 hours,” said Vermilion River Flying Club member Larry Bingham.

School students also had the opportunity to tour the sites the following week.

“Overall, I found that the townspeople in Vermilion have been so nice. Usually we are in a field setting and not within a community. We are very appreciative that everyone was very welcoming which allowed for a good experience,” said MWO Mason.

“A lot of people shook our hands and thanked us for our service,” added Sgt Filiatreault.

Sour Cream Apple Pie

Dawn Hames Columnist

We all know that apples are good to eat, but they are also packed full of health benefits. Apples are an excellent source of flavonoid and polyphenol antioxidants. A study at Cornell University has shown that only 100g of apple gives the same antioxidant abilities as 1,500 mg of vitamin C, now that is amazing.

Cornell University researcher, Profes3” wide version sor Chong Yong Lee has said this of the natural chemicals in apples “Some of the chemicals are known to be antiallergenic; some are anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral. Now I have 100+ weekly newspapers a reason to say an apple a day keeps

the doctor away. The redder the apple the more disease fighting antioxidants present in the skin. Recent research has shown that the waxy substance in apple skin helps prevents muscle loss.

Apples contain malic acid and tartaric acid which are known to help cleanse the liver of toxins, and pectin which also aids in the removal of toxins from our bodies.

One apple supplies 30 per cent of the daily recommend amount of fiber. Apples are shown to help regulate blood sugar, and to reduce fat in the blood. Regular intake of apples has shown to reduce both total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Researchers have also found a link in the consumption of apples and the protection of the lungs, particularly from lung cancer and asthma. Apples are best eaten raw for the greatest benefit

When you are cooking apples, you can keep the skin on, as that is where the powerhouse of extraordinary antioxidants are to be found, however those prone to allergies, may be better off peeling the apple skin off. Here is another benefit; eating one to three apples a day, not only keeps excess weight away, but also aids in weight loss according to researchers at Rio de Janeiro University in Brazil, Pennsylvania State University and Florida State University.

A sour cream apple pie is an easy way to combine the benefits of apples in a dessert. This recipe is very low in sugar, and the sour cream gives it creamy custard. For those that are allergic to dairy, use coconut yogurt instead. If you are buying a pre made pie shell, look for

me, especially as a kid, was all those things…helping chase said cows from the yard over the hill south into the coulee pasture was a definitive spring rite of passage at our ranch. However, it was not until I had my own kids that there was an adoption of laughter as the coping mechanism that the black comedy this time of year seemed to bring on, the bandwidth to do action best d escribed as 25 par ti c ipants in ‘musical chairs’ with five chairs available between them. If you ever managed to get a chair…you had to put up a healthy scrap at some long odds to hang on to it.

Given the fact we live where we do, I suppose it starts being ridiculous when we consider that annual attempt to fit in all the things we have had 7-8 months to think about into the 4-5 months with-

Changing winter tires back to summer, prepping the trailer to go camping (whether you end up going or not), fixing a flat tire on the tractor, running three kids to three different drama/baseball/soccer practices, putting together whatever items were needed for said practices the night before, rototilling your garden, replacing the garden hose your dog chewed up you were too busy to replace last summer…those action bills always seem to all come due with interest the first day that reaches 20 degrees outside (and not 80km/h winds).

But it’s not such a bad thing after all to be blessed with all those things to do. You are still upright and breathing after all, so keep a smile on your face and laugh about it. After all, it is the ‘Silly Season’.

Craig Baird Columnist

Many years ago, Douglas Urquhar t wa s a s t u d e n t at Bridstow School near Vermilion. In his recounting of the school and his life there, he provides us with a glimpse into what one-room schoolhouses were like.

His teacher at the time when he first enrolled was Earl Browser, who provided the students with an excellent library to read many different books from that time. He also had an odd saying to the young boys, which was “You’ll be a man before your mother”. Personally, I don’t know what he was getting at.

Several teachers came through at that time when Douglas was there. One of his favourites was Dorothy Stone, a teacher who eventually moved to Edmonton to teach.

During the spring and summer months, it was easy to get to school and there was plenty of time for playing outside. In the winter, it was several kilometres of snow drifts and steep hills. Sometimes the way home was completely blocked at Douglas’ father had to clear a path.

Life At Bridstow School

In the spring, the local coulee was a favourite place for the students to play and swim, but the students would have to make sure they got out when it was time to get back to school and begin learning again.

As was typical for many area schools, the school Christmas concert was the biggest event of the year. It would help to break up the monotony of schoolwork through the winter months and provide a great opportunity for locals to socialize and see each other’s kids.

From Januar y to June, Douglas describes it as a long and hard grind to the end of the school year. He states that with bad weather, and a school that was often cold until noon, along with schoolwork, homework and chores to be done, it was an always busy time of year.

One aspect of school we take for granted is the separate rooms for separate grades. For Douglas, all grades were taught in the same room and that made it difficult to concentrate on your own schoolwork when other students of a different grade in your room were involved in a school item of more interest.

The system was not perfect and the number of students who found success

afterwards was lower than it is today, but the one-room schoolhouse still served an important purpose.

As for Douglas, he would go on to teach at a one-room school for five years near Kitscot y. He described having to prepare and present nine different grades work every day as an arduous and trying task that had many rewards.

Bridstow School, which opened in May of 1918 would operate until 1955.

The building would be sold to Lyons Hatchery in Vermilion and the school yard was plowed up.

Boat Sober This Summer

Canadian Safe Boating Council Submitted

May 13, 2019 -- Toronto, ON, --North American Safe Boating Awareness Week will take place across Canada from May 18th to May 24th, 2019. Safe Boating Awareness Week, managed by the CSBC (Canadian Safe Boating Council) and its partners, has been created to promote safe and responsible boating practices to the estimated 16 million recreational boaters across Canada.

A l t h o u g h b o at i n g re l ate d fat a li ties have trended downwards in past years, there continues to be an average of over 100 boating related deaths annually in Canadian waters. With Canadians preparing to launch their boats after a long winter slumber, the goal of Safe Boating Awareness Week is to continue to reduce fatalities by ensuring that boaters who head out in any type of vessel have the knowledge and equipment to help them have a safe day on the water.

The timing of the week, star ting on the Victoria Day long weekend, is per fectly aligned with the unofficial start of summer and a time when many boating fatalities occur.

The CSBC and its partners will be promoting 5 key messages, all directed towards the most common boating related accidents. They include: 1. Wear a Lifejacket 2. Boat Sober 3. Take a Boating Course 4. Be Prepared – Both You and Your Vessel 5. Be Aware of the Risks of Cold Water Immersion To help media in communicating safe boating messages, short stories to be used as discrete ar ticles and short audio and video PSAs are available. They are easy to download and free of charge on the<http://www.csbc. ca/> website. Broadcast quality is also

available upon request.

In addition to offering media ready m ate r i a l s , a n u m b e r o f a c t i v i t i e s are taking place during this year’s campaign.

Launches In Canada, there will be four launches for media, public and boating safety educators alike. On May 16 t h , To r o n t o, a n d W i n n i p e g w i l l kick off North American Safe Boating Awareness Week. Vancouver and Victoria will launch their Safe Boating Awareness Week activities onMay 18th.

Boat Sober Focus T h e l e g a l iz at i o n of c a n n a b i s i s causing concern for boating safety advocate groups, enforcement agencies and first responders alike. Alcohol has been proven to be a contributing factor in approximately 40% of all boating fatalities across Canada. The legalization of recreational cannabis has the potential to significantly increase this statistic. In response to this, at each of our launches, there will be media conferences put on by local and regional police to discuss and emphasize the impor tance of not consuming ANY alcohol or drugs either before or while boating.

The Safe Boating Awareness Week initiative is promoted by the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC), a registered charity, with support from its members, partners and Transport Canada Office of Boating Safety.

Letter To The Editor

Submitted Re: Town of Vermilion Garbage Bins The Town of Vermilion has provided everybody with black garbage bins that people put out on Wednesdays or Thursdays. In my case it’s Thursday. They are not a bad idea, but many people treat the bins as yard ornaments. They leave them out on the street or in the front yard in plain sight. The bins are not attractive.

AHS

They are garbage bins for goodness sake.

Put them out on the street when you are supposed to and pull them back in after the garbage has been collected. There’s no reason why they should clutter up the yard or street any longer than 24 hours.

Nobody wants to look at them any more than they have to. Stick your bin in the back yard or some other out of sight place.

Protecting Yourself From Allergies

Submitted

Seaso nal allerg ies o c c ur at the same time of the year, ever y year.

Exposure to pollen and snow mold, a type of fungus on grass after snow melts, may cause allergic symptoms.

These symptoms may include itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, headache, fatigue and a runny, stuf f y or itchy nose.

“Cleaning the inside of your nose with salt water, using a humidifier in the bedroom and taking hot showers may help relieve symptoms,” says Yvonne Ewanicke, a site manager at Health Link. “You can also try taking an over-the-counter antihistamine to relieve symptoms.”

If sy m pto m s c o nt inu e, a s k your doctor if immunotherapy or allergy s h o t s m i g h t h e l p y o u . T h ey h e l p prevent and reduce allergies.

Thank you to all our sponsors that make this day happen. The numbers have not been finalized but $60,000 was collected the day of the event. Money raised will help maintain five apartments located in Galen Lofts across from the UofA Hospital for those going through the transplant process, cash, gift cards and visa dollars go directly to the transplant recipients for financial obligations. Dollars raised also assists with the signage campaign. This is to put signs up in arenas all over Alberta and Saskatchewan to remind people to talk to their families about organ and tissue donation. We wish to thank the

communities of Elk Point, St. Paul, through out the years. We look forward Vermilion, Bonnyville, Cold Lake and to seeing you all on the trail again next Lloydminster for your continued support year.

3 Gorgeous Kitchen Trends For Your Next Reno (NC) Whether you’re planning a mini makeover or a major overhaul for the heart of your home, there are many ways to give the space a fresh look and feel. Here are some design trends to keep in mind: Textured countertops. Countertops don’t necessarily need a smooth and shiny finish. Like paint, quartz can also have different textured finishes. Opting for a textured countertop can add dimension and a subtle yet impactful enhancement to your kitchen.

Look for brands that offer textured finishes like HanStone Quartz, whose Unearthed Collection features a unique Riverwashed finish.

Coloured cabinetry. Add contrast to your kitchen by painting your cabinets with a bold colour. Painted cabinetry is an easy and cost-effective way to liven and freshen up any space. In 2019, we’re seeing cabinets painted in moody hues like matte black, navy and forest green. If the thought of

going to the dark side scares you, try incorporating a medium-toned grey or even light oak cabinetry into your design. Contrary to popular belief, coloured cabinetry can be extremely neutral.

Accessorize with pops of matte black.

A touch of matte black is a great complementary colour for several reasons, one of them being that it can add design balance to your space, especially if most of your furnishings are white. It’s no wonder matte black is turning up in all aspects of design, from handles and faucets to sinks and appliances. While you may feel that matte black airs more on the modern side, it can be easily used in traditional design as well.

A great way to ease into this look is by infusing pops of black into your kitchen, as the shade complements nearly all colour palettes.

Lloydminster RCMP Introduces Traffic Safety Initiative

Lloydminster RCMP Submitted

Lloydminster, Alta – The City of Lloydminster, in partnership with the Lloydminster RCMP Detachment, will be introducing a new traffic safety program starting in May 2019.

The “Constable Scarecrow ” project originated in Coquitlam, B.C., last year. Since the program’s inception, Coquitlam RCMP reported the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit was reduced by approximately 50 percent.

The program will include a full-sized metal cut-out of a uniformed RCMP officer which will be placed in strategic

locations around the city. These new Constables will be visible next to roadways in high traffic and high collision areas.

“We are excited about the collaboration with the City of Lloydminster. This initiative is a positive step to enhance road safety,” says Inspector Lee Brachmann, Lloydminster RCMP Detachment Commander. “Hopefully we will see a reduction in the number of violations found on the roads.”

Traffic enforcement is integral to reduce collisions. In 2016, 85 per cent of collisions in Alberta involved at least one Fromt left, S/Sgt Sarah Knelsen, Cst Scarecrow and Cst Michael Hagel. Photo submitted driver who committed a driving error.

Junior High Track Meet

War Amputee Veteran Marks 75th Anniversary of D-Day On June 6, 1944, Allan Bacon arrived by boat on Juno Beach in Normandy, France, with the Canadian Scottish Regiment. On June 17, 1944, Bacon was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came. He went into a nearby shed to disarm the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of his right arm. On returning to Canada, Bacon became a member of The War Amps, an Association started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality. Through the years, Bacon along with his fellow War Amps members, have made it a goal to remember and commemorate their fallen comrades, and to educate youth about the horrors of war.

Pictured is Bacon in 1941 (left), and today (right), at the Sunnybrook Veterans Centre, in Toronto. Photos submitted

St. Jerome’s School News

Margaret McCormack Submitted

It was an amazing day at St. Jerome’s on Friday, May 10 as we partnered with TheyBuildBridges to experience the cultures of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit during Indigenous Celebration Day. The day started with presentations to our honoured guests, the Creeland Metis Dancers, and traditional dances of the First Nation peoples. Inuit games, tipi tales, bannock making, storytelling, drumming, dancing were just a few of the workshops the students were able to become actively involved in. The closing session for St. Jerome’s Indigenous Day was one of the most emotional parts of the day, watching the joy and raw emotion on the faces of the whole school as they were led in a traditional Round Dance with the Poundmaker Singers and Mr. Adrian LaChance.

Truly our hearts were tethered together in this beautiful dance of relationship, respect for one another, and unity! Thank you to

PLAYSAFE:

Kevin John and the team at St. Jerome’s for making this memorable day possible.

The big trip for the grade six students at St. Jerome’s finally arrived! After several fundraising activities and waiting very patiently for months, the grade 6s were off to Drumheller. At the Royal Tyrrell Museum, they participated in solving a Cretaceous Crime scene, casted a fossil, hiked the badlands, and learned Dinometrics to piece together dinosaur skeletons. Before bunking down under the tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops in Dinosaur Hall, the students swam at the Drumheller Aquaplex. The next morning, they hiked around the hoodoos and braved crossing the Red Deer River on the Star Mine Suspension Bridge. The bus ride was quiet after all of this fun and excitement! What an amazing, educational, unique field trip.

High School Student Council elections were held on Wednesday, May 15. Congratulations to the following students; Matthew Beaudette - President, Sean Ulrich - VicePresident, Megan Krys - Secretary, Clay Corbiere and Kennedy Protsch - Sports Conveners, Evan Sader and Amanda Collins - Social Conveners, Cadence Jackson - Yearbook Representative. Thank you to all the students who ran for office and for taking a chance by

Don’t Let It Happen to You

offering your gifts, talents and time to make St. Jerome’s an even better place to be! We would also like to thank this year’s council for the amazing year they organized and all the events they made possible.

Jr. High Track and Field was held at St. Jerome’s on Wednesday, May 15. It was a cool day, but a very successful day.

Congratulations to all the students for their tremendous effort during the events. The top competitors will advance to participate in the “Highway 16” Championships this week and the “ECACS Championships” next week.

St. Jerome’s 2019 Graduation is taking place on Saturday, May 25. Please join us to celebrate the achievements of our amazing grade twelve students. The day will begin with Mass at Holy Name of Jesus Parish at 1 p.m. and the Graduation Ceremony is at the Vermilion Regional Centre at 6:30 p.m.

The Leadership 10 Class has been busy working on a variety of projects to show their appreciation to the staff at St. Jerome’s. Each staff member received a card and thoughtful letter written by a grade 10 student. The staff was also treated to a variety of desserts in the staffroom one day and a delicious breakfast last week. The staff really appreciated all your thoughtful gestures and feel privileged to work with the amazing students at St. Jerome’s.

The Grade 10 Leadership Class also

organized a very successful 30-Hour Famine at the beginning of May. The students were able to raise $1000 for the charity Chalice.

Students in grade one to five have been busy preparing their poems for Declamation. All elementary students memorized a poem to recite in their classroom, and then several were chosen to present their poems at the Declamation Recital held on Tuesday, May 14 in front of parents, family members, and peers. Congratulations to all the students for their amazing presentations.

Elementary students are enjoying Skip Club on Wednesday after school. The students work through a variety of stations improving their skipping skills and learning new tricks. Thank you to Ms. McDermott and Mrs. Lysons for helping the students throughout the month of May to become better skippers. The elementary students were able to raise $5,500 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation during the Jump Rope for Heart Event.

SCHOOL NEWS Submitted

5C entered the Classroom Energy Diet Challenge that was sponsored by Canadian Geographic and Shell. There were 16 energy related challenges. Some of the fun challenges were tracking personal water and plastic bag usage, making an energy awareness video, and spending some hours

learning without using any power. This was a great way to delve further into the Electricity unit in Science. The Challenge ran from February until the end of April. Mr. Beecroft received an email telling them that they had won $228 in prize money. They have decided to give the money to VES’s School Beautification Committee to aid in sprucing up VES. Mrs. Grinde, from BTPS Central Office, came to join the Grade 1 classes

on May 9 and teach them about Bear Witness Day. They learned about a First Nation’s boy named Jordan River Anderson and hear his story. They celebrated Spirit Bear’s birthday and had juice and cupcakes for a treat. Thank-you to Mrs. Grinde for spending time in the Grade 1 classrooms and for teaching our students about First Nations people and our journey to reconciliation.

The first Annual VES Cup Soccer Tournament has wrapped up. This Intramural activity was for Grade 5 and 6 students, and those students who were interested signed up. Mr. Harvey then put them on the following country teams: Australia, Italy, Germany, Iceland, and Brazil. In the end, Brazil got the Gold Medal, Australia the Silver Medal, and Italy the Bronze. This was a fun tournament with great sportsmanship exhibited.

This year we joined the Northern Birthday Box Project as our global citizenship project. It meets our goals of infusing First Nation, Metis, and Inuit perspectives and understanding that where we live affects how we live. The Northern Birthday Box Project provides birthday parties for children in the far northern communities of Canada. Northern birthday parties are often a community event and can be very expensive simply because of where you live. VES met our goal of being able to send one box per classroom to sponsor a child.

All 13 boxes made it to the children. The families sent messages of appreciation and pictures showing each child’s birthday. Way to go VES. Thanks for making a difference.

Agricultural Equipment Operators: The Force That Powers Our Farms

Equipment operators play a vital role in the farming industry. They operate and maintain the equipment used in virtually every stage of modern agricultural production, from the combines used to harvest crops to the loading machines that prepare them for market. Agricultural equipment operators work with all kinds of farming machinery including tractors, raking equipment, berry pickers, threshers and hay balers. Their important work is essential for tilling soil, planting seeds, fertilizing plants and harvesting crops.

Working with heavy-duty farm equipment requires a unique skillset and specialized training. To be a successful farm machinery operator, you need to have excellent physical coordination and driving skills as well as mechanical aptitude and the ability to make decisions

quickly. In short, you need to be good with machines and good with your hands. You should also love spending time outdoors.

According to the Government of Canada labour market repor ts, the median wage for a farm equipment operator is $16 an hour.

If you think you have what it takes to become a farm equipment operator, there are certification programs available that combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience. In these courses, you’ll acquire a thorough knowledge of how various machines work and learn safe operating and maintenance techniques along with tips for how to maximize machine productivity. Becoming a certified farm equipment operator can improve your chances of landing a job at Photo submitted a competitive salary.

What Does An Agriculture Technician Do?

Agriculture technicians use their specialized know­ledge of crops and livestock to help farmers find the most efficient ways to use their land. Their duties often include helping producers

to select crops based on soil conditions, choosing the right livestock to raise and making savvy business decisions for their farms. They also take field samples and run lab tests to learn more about

farming conditions in a particular area.

Agriculture technicians may work directly for commercial farms, or they may work for other organizations such as governmental departments, food processing research and development firms, agricultural chemical companies and food inspection agencies.

If you become an agriculture technician, you’ll most likely divide your time between working in a lab, performing chemical analyses of soil, plant material and potential pathogens; in an office, preparing paperwork and data analysis reports; and in the field, examining soil, crops and livestock and interacting with farmers.

To become an agriculture technician, you generally need a college diploma in agricultural technology or a related field like agribusiness, horticulture or general agriculture. Some technician positions may require a bachelor’s degree. According to the Government of Canada labour market reports, the median wage for an agriculture technician is $25 an hour.

If you have strong observation and communic ation skills and a genu ine interest in farming and natural

processes, becoming an agriculture technician may be the right career move for you.

Four Agricultural Jobs For Animal Lovers

If you’re an animal lover looking to work in the agriculture industry, here are four careers that involve working with animals.

Animal health inspector. Animal health inspectors make sure animals on farms are kept in safe, well-maintained environments where they’re not mistreated or neglected. Most animal health inspectors hold college diplomas or university degrees in animal science or a related field. According to the Government of Canada labour market reports, the median wage for animal health inspectors is $29.74 an hour.

Livestock breeder. Livestock breeders use their knowledge of genetics to select breeding stock that will produce healthy, high-quality farm animals. The duties of animal breeders include choosing the right animals for breeding, administering medications and supplements and maintaining health and pedigree records.

Many breeders specialize in a particu-

lar species and have diplomas or certificates in animal science or animal health.

Animal breeders make a median wage of $19 an hour.

Livestock farmer. Most large livestock farms specialize in one type of animal — for instance, there are dairy farms, horse farms, poultry farms, apiaries (bee farms) and more. If you’re looking to manage your own livestock farm, obtaining a certificate or college diploma in agriculture, agribusiness or livestock production can help you obtain the skills you’ll need to be a commercial farmer. Animal farmers make a median wage of $19 an hour.

Veterinarian or veterinary technician.

Many veterinarians and veterinary technicians specialize in providing medical care to farm animals like horses, cows, sheep and pigs. To become a veterinarian, you must obtain a degree in veterinary medicine from a university and a licence to practice in your province. To become a veterinary technician, you’ll need to

Improving Dairy Cow Reproduction

Maintaining steady levels of bovine reproduction requires discipline, otherwise milk production can suffer greatly.

Although it remains essential to take genetics into account, it is not, however the only solution in improving reproduction.

It is indespensable to observe the animals and anticipate their needs. It is particularly important that feeding, housing, sanitary conditions and reproduction deadlines are all properly controlled. In order to promote good sanitary conditions, prevention is the best means of

control. When in doubt, a veterinarian should always be consulted.

On a dairy farm, controlling reproduction starts with balanced food rations for milk producing cows. Food rations for dairy cows should be calculated by volume and quality, in both summer and winter. Heifers should receive the same rations as producing cows and inlcude the addition of all the normal vitamins.

The diet of dry, or non-lactating cows should be reduced in order to avoid excessive weight gain during calving. It is also very important to note when animals

go into heat and the onset of ovulation.

This method is more efficient than simple reproduction planning. Having a calendar for each cow is certainly the best way of determining possible reproductive peri-
