The Machine Shop is now open at 4021 52 Avenue in Vermilion and is the first company to offer water jet services in the community.

Owner Connor Grieve has been working in the industry for 15 years, is dual ticketed and offers designing, machining, and welding.

“I can cut anything up to six inches on

the water jet including wood, tile, granite, glass and metals including aluminum and stainless steel,” said Grieve.

Unlike many machinists, he doesn’t turn dials and is able to run all of his equipment including a CNC mill and CNC lathe with computers. This in turn allows him to overlap work on different machines, by checking the screens or completing paperwork while he waits. For convenience and safety, Grieve engineered the

layout of his equipment so that he can be within 15 steps of each machine at all times.

He has always been interested in making things even as a child, and is thrilled that so far The Machine Shop is serving customers within a two hour radius of Vermilion.

“Vermilion is a nice central hub and the shop has a perfect location. I like that there is a taste of everything includ-

ing designing parts with different threads, seals or surfaces; I’m like a modern day blacksmith!” said Grieve.

Grieve designs and manufactures everything from decorative fire pits and signs to oilfield equipment and parts. He looks forward to attending local events in the future to showcase the possibilities. For more information you can call 780-292-4552 or follow @themachineshop on Instagram.

They have a grand selection of Foothills Ice Cream with a variety of cones and toppings. Lastly, their growing selection of modern and traditional candy is impressive, ranging from bonbons to sponge toffee, drink cr yst als, c ho c olate and gummies.

They are looking forward to bringing in several new items and serving the community.

Guests had fun entering a draw by guessing the number of jelly beans in jars, and browsing the nostalgic candy and reminiscing from when they were children.

“We have had a lot of really good feedback so far, and look forward to seeing ever yone soon,” said Dawn Woywitka.

Cereal Agronomy Field Day

Angela Mouly Reporter

L a ke l a n d C o l l e g e h o s t e d t h e i r 4th Annual Cereal Agronomy Field Day on July 30. This was the third public tour that the Crop Research Program has hosted this season, with the two earlier ones being canola and pulse-crop focused.

Approximately 50 farmers and industry members from the local area participated and had the opportunity to tour ongoing cereal crop research experiments looking at topics such as: disease management in wheat, methods to increase barley yield and profitability in Alberta, factors influencing acceptance of malt barley varieties, and new and future varieties of wheat, barley, and oats.

“Crop producers and industry are fortunate to have a research program such as this one in their backyard. Varieties respond and grow differently depending on geogra-

phy, so seeing how these varieties grow in local conditions provides excellent information to farmers in this region,” said SeCan Marketing Representative, Trent Whiting.

Laurel Thompson, Crop Research Scientist at Lakeland College, led the day with guest speakers in attendance including: Dr. Mike Harding (Research Scientist from Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Brooks), Jeremy Boychyn (Cereal Agronomy Extension Specialist with Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions), Rich Joy (Director of Malting and Technical Services with Canada Malt), and Trent Whiting (Alberta and BC Marketing Representative, SeCan).

The feedback Thompson received from the tour was positive, and attendees went home with takeaways to think about and use in their own farming operations.

“I enjoy hosting these field days to connect with producers and industry. We

Bean Salad

Dawn Hames Columnist

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy lots of salads.

It ’s especially nice when you can make them ahead and just pull them out of the refrigera-

tor. This one is also great to take to pot luck, barbeques and any summer outdoor entreating that is on your list.

If you study the blue zones of the world where which have the highest percentage of healthy centurions, what most of them have in common is a diet high in beans. Black beans and kidney beans are a protein fiber

c o m b o t hat hel p s st a b ilize b l o o d sugar because they are a low glycemic food that is high in fiber. A diet with ad e quate fiber lower s blo o d cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of both heart disease and colon cancer. The fiber in black beans can provide you with digestive health by providing the nutrients needed for the development of the good bacteria in the lower digestive tract. Black beans are a good source of molybdenum, folate, fiber, manganese, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins and tryptophan. Since beans are high in nutrients, fiber and low in fat, they are thought to raise leptin levels, which in turn raise metabolism. Black beans are also high in antioxidants.

One cup of either black beans or kidney beans provides 20 per cent of our daily recommended value of iron and 30 per cent of our daily recommended amount of protein. If you are preparing dried beans, it is important to allow them to soak in water for several hours or overnight and to throw away the water that the beans have soaked it, adding fresh water to cook the beans in. The soaking water will contain lectins and phytates that lower the availability of the nutrients in the beans. It is also very important that dried beans are fully cooked, and

never eaten partially uncooked. It is also a good idea to drain the canned beans and rinse the beans with water before using them in the salad. The onions and celer y add flavour and crispness to the texture of the salad.

Bean Salad 1 can black beans 19 oz.

1 can white kidney beans or mixed beans 19 oz.

1/2 cup each finely sliced celery and chopped red pepper 1/4 cup finely chopped onions 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons maple syrup 1 clove of garlic pressed 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Drain and rinse the beans.

Combine in a bowl the beans, celery and onions. In a separate small bowl c om bine the oil, vineg ar s, honey s y r u p, g a r l i c , m u s t a r d , s a l t a n d pepper. Stir to blend the ingredients.

Pour in the bean mixture. This salad is best made ahead to allow the beans time to marinate in the dressing. This salad can be made a day ahead and stored in a covered Tupperware type bowl, turning the bowl occasionally to aid in the marinating of the salad.

proposed in the district.

George Hunt had dislocated his right shoulder while taking a horse to water.

Another issue, July 25, stated the following: “Perhaps the par ty who replaced their blankets in the rig after getting rig repaired in the blacksmith shop at Breage, found a coat mixed with them.

Owner would be glad if coat would be returned to the post office in Breage.”

Unfortunately, Breage soon began moving to a new location, Vermilion, around that time and many of the buildings would make the trip.

By March of 1906, Breage was no more. As W.B. Cameron said, “almost before it was born the old hamlet of Breage died.”

The Breage Post Office changed to the Vermilion Post Office on March 1, 1906.

ARIES

Put your efforts into making constructive improvements to your environment and to your state of mind. Don't overreact to someone's advances. You will tend to overeat today.

TAURUS

Don't prejudge. You may get drawn into a personal situation that will not be to your liking. Romance will be yours if you get out and do things in large groups. Avoid friends or acquaintances who drink too much.

LIBRA

It might be best to work on your own; if possible, do your job out of your home today. You will communicate with ease today. Don't believe everything you hear.

SCORPIO

You can make a huge difference to children if you are able to put yourself in their shoes.

Work quietly on your own and you will forge ahead. Children will want to help, too.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI

Property investments, insurance, tax rebates, or inheritance should bring you financial gains.

Be honest if you wish to solve the problem.

Your tendency to dramatize may be a little much for your partner to take constantly.

CANCER

Be careful not to push your luck or take too much for granted when dealing on either a personal or professional level. Travel opportunities look positive, but be cautious while driving.

Don't let situations get out of hand. Make changes that will enhance your appearance and entice potential partners. You may find that someone you live with may be irritable; you're best to leave them alone.

Travel will promote new romantic encounters and additional cultural knowledge. You will have to check your cash flow before you decide to indulge in hobbies or entertainment that may be beyond your budget.

LEO

Jam-Packed Adventures

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

From August 3 - 5 Red Feather Ridge hosted around 200 members (from all across the western provinces) and nonmembers combined of the Alberta Traditional Bowhunters Association (ATBA) for their 2019 Heritage Classic Jamboree.

ATBA president Ben Dobrowolsky said, “We have been banded together for 16 years, since 2003 and this is our 15th Jamboree. We have a big shoot every August long weekend and it’s called the Heritage Classic Jamboree because it is held on the Heritage Day long weekend.”

According to Dobrowolsky the ATBA

started with half a dozen executive members originally with a president and vice president and is an affiliate under the parent organization Alberta Bowhunters Association (ABA). Dobrowolsky mentioned that the president of the ABA Brent Watson was also in attendance for the weekend Jamboree.

Dobrowolsky also said, “When we started we had to borrow targets, borrow trailers. We had people from all around the province and that is what spurred on the provincial feeling behind the organization. Now, over the last 15 years past presidents had done such a good job fundraising and organizing that now we are 100 per cent self-sufficient for all of

our own events; we now have organizations and clubs asking us to borrow our equipment, rather than the other way around, and that’s thanks to great partner clubs like the Vermilion River Archers; without them we wouldn’t be putting the shoot on this weekend.”

During the opening ceremonies on August 3, president of the Vermilion River Archers Orest Popil said, “I would like to thank everyone for coming. Today we recognize that we are gathered on Treaty 6 land and home of the Vermilion River Archers. The Vermilion River Archers is a club steeped with tradition and value and one of the longest-running archery clubs in the province.”

The three-day Jamboree provided the attendee’s opportunities for adventure with two courses equipped with 3D targets, novelty shoots, and a couple of gopher hunts, as well as, medics on

site in case of any type of medical emergency. “ T h e g o p h e r h u n t s p r ov i d e t h e members the opportunity for practice and comradery, as well as the opportunity for a group hunt,” said Dobrowolsky.

The weekend also offered a wine and cheese event which was sponsored by local business Harbrook and Paisley. A banquet supper was provided by their host for the weekend Red Feather Ridge.

Les Lahey was the entertainment and beer was provided by Lakeland Brewery out of St. Paul.

“I would like to say a big thanks to the Vermilion River Archers for co-coordinating this event for us, without them it would be impossible. I also would like to thank Red Feather Ridge for hosting us because without a venue and organizers we would be out of luck,” said Dobrowolsky.

Expand Your Living Space With A Basement Makeover

(NC) If you’re not using your basement for everyday living, you’re losing out on at least a third of your home’s square footage.

Here are some tips to transform it into a space where you want to spend time: Control the air flow. Basements that haven’t been well maintained can have a host of problems that cause them to be colder than they should be – many of which have quick DIY fixes. Inspect your perimeter and seal any air leaks. If your windows are the culprit, try caulking around them. If that doesn’t work, replacing them with energy

efficient ones is worth the investment.

Welcome with cozy accents. Create an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to curl up on the couch and read, or watch a good movie, by incorporating cozy accents with rich textures. Think fluffy blankets, pillows and slippers in materials like fleece, flannel, sherpa and faux fur.

Choose a quality subfloor. Even premium carpet or engineered hardwood won’t keep your floors feeling warm without the right subfloor. As the foundation for your basement, a subfloor is an essential step you

can’t afford to skip. To help protect against moisture, mould and mildew, and to make floors feel warmer by insulating against the cold concrete, choose Dricore subfloors.

It’s easy to install and a whole room can be done in half a day.

Add warmth. Make up for any lack in sunlight and the warmth it brings with added

sources of heat. A wood-burning oven or fireplace can create a relaxing environment that’s inviting after coming in from the cold.

Even a gas fireplace can have the same effect. Scented candles used safely will also do the trick if you want to keep costs down.
