The East-West Chapter of the Alberta Carriage Driving Association held a Triple Drive Event which was sponsored by the Vermilion Ag Society at the Ag grounds on June 19 and 20. There were two Continuous Drive competitions held on June 19 in the morning and afternoon and a third competition held on June 20 in the morning. The competition was organized by Chapter president, Lorraine Dibben and was judged by Kathleen Winfield, President of the Jury (Dressage Judge), Chuck Taylor, Ground Jury (Cones Judge), Byron Crook, and Technical Delegate (Derby Judge).

All COVID -19 restrictions were in place and followed throughout the competition.

The East-West Chapter is one of the driving chapters under the ACDA Association and is a non-profit organization that services northeastern Alberta and northwestern Saskatchewan. The association provides carriage driver enthusiasts handson seminars, driving competitions, clinics, a pleasure show and many fun activities each year.

The East-West Chapter is now in its 31st year and holds annual events such as a Clinic in May, an Open Driving show on July 10 in Vermilion, a Fun Day in August, a Fall drive in September, Sleigh ride in December, and the Cutter Rally for cancer in Lloydminster in February.

Co-op Community Spaces Donates $80,000 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.

Haying In The ‘30s Makes Difficult Decision

Reporter

Haying in the ‘30s Cancer Support Society located in Mallaig has made yet another difficult decision regarding their annual twoday fundraising event due to COVID. “We want to be able to provide the same quality event as we did prior to the pandemic, and we do not feel that would be possible this year, so the board has decided to cancel this year’s annual event,” said president Martin Naundorf, “there are just too many uncertainties around the restrictions for the number of people we have attending for those two days.”

The event is usually held during the August Heritage Day weekend and is funded by sponsors and volunteers.

The free camping event usually requires 250-300 volunteers and offers demos of hay cutting with a horse-drawn mower, hay baling by horsepower, threshing grain, weld-

PET OF THE WEEK MILLEY

Milley is an extremely affectionate, sweet, and loving kitty… with humans. Milley doesn’t care for other feline friends and hasn’t reacted well to dogs that come near her either, but we do think that if Milley were to go to a home with another cat, she would eventually be okay as long as they gave her her space.

Milley would love a home that will allow her to lounge around wherever she pleases and someone that will buy her toys and play with her. Even though she is 3 years old, she still has a lot of kitten energy.

If you think Milley would be the perfect family member addition, then be sure to book an appointment with the SPCA to meet her today!

ing etc. Live music and food are provided free of charge. Attendees can visit the multiple staged businesses in the village, for example, the RCMP building, Barbershop, Weaving shop, Blacksmith shop, Archive building and much more.

During the downtime the society plans to continue making improvements to the site over the summer, which will include adding in new buildings, such as a shed, windmill grinder, donation centre and completing a kitchen expansion.

The Haying in the ‘30s Society has helped individuals battling cancer since 1999 when it was founded by Edgar Corbiere. Last year, the society helped 334 individuals which totalled $334,000. Since January of this year, the Society has helped 200 cancer victims totalling $200,000.

Naundorf commented that donations to the society are still coming in strong, but there are a lot of people to help.

“We are still able to help approximately 35 cancer patients a month which amounts to $35,000 a month, but cancer is not going anywhere, there is always someone who needs assistance,” commented Naundorf.

Haying in the ‘30s is now able to accept donations through e-transfer. The email address is hayinginthe30s@gmail.com, and no security question or answer is needed. If you would like a tax receipt, you can provide your name, address and email in the message portion of the e-transfer and the receipt will be emailed to you. Donations can also be made by cheque and a tax receipt is available for all donations over $25. One hundred per cent of the donations received by the Society are given to cancer victims for support during their treatment.

Naudorf also mentioned that the society always needs volunteers and that they are so appreciative for the volunteers they have and to anyone who donates to their

society so they can continue helping cancer patients. For more information on Haying in the ‘30s you can visit https://www.hayinginthe30s.com/

3D printers make it possible for anyone to have their own personal assembly line. From personal home printers to mass production industrial printers, 3D printing is the future of production. Almost anything is possible with 3D printing technologies, replacement parts, working guns, and even sports cars. So, how is it possible that one technology could create so many different things, and how does it work?

3D printers function by building the item they are assigned to from the ground up layer by layer. Every 3D printer requires different material as its input, often called a filament. These materials can range from PLA plastics to Stainless steel and always have ways of A Prairie Farmhouse Cookbook almost heating the material into a form that can be spread like icing

The printer has its is now available at the nozzle suspended by two tracks, one is used to move the nozzle Vermilion Voice office forward and backward and the for purchase. other moves it left to right. This nozzle is what is used to spread Cash only $21.00 the melted filament onto the print The Voice is open Mon - Fri bay where it quickly hardens to create a solid foundation for the 8 am to 5 pm next layer to be built upon. As the printer proceeds with the TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK print, the tracks rise vertically on a stationary track in order to lift Dawn’s Interiors open Monday - Saturday at 11:00 am the nozzle above the layers that it will print on top of. Watching this process can seem otherworldly at times, and words cannot do it justice.

However, the printer needs a model to print, so before the printer can do its magic some-

one has to design the item that will be printed. This is done using computer programs such as Fusion 360 to 3D model the part digitally. For those who don’t know, 3D modelling is in its simplest form about creating triangles from a series of points in 3D space, these triangles are then arranged into any complex shape that can be imagined. The artist working on the model can use various tools to build the model and has the ability to navigate the displayed view in virtual space in order to see the subject from different angles. Once the model is finished it’s uploaded to the printer and the fun begins. For a standard household PLA printer, it takes anywhere between 1 hour to 5 days to finish a print, depending on the size of the model and assuming there weren’t any errors with the print that would require it to be restarted.

Some new printing applications are bringing 3D printing to much larger scales. For example, Peri, one construction company is printing houses using their giant concrete printers. They set the machine up in a new location, and let it run to build the structure of the house, while workers install windows, doors and other delicate features. There are even plans to use rovers to act as 3D printers on Mars, building large domes from the naturally iron rich soil on the planet. This would make it much easier for people to live in once they arrive to colonize the planet. Another example of a new 3D printing use is the Czinger 21C, the world’s first 3D printed sports car. The vehicle has a surprisingly nice design considering it is 3D printed, and It doesn’t show the layer lines that are traditionally expected with many 3D printing technologies. There is even research into printing human organs from stem cells to create a customized transplant that has almost no risk of rejection due to it being built from the DNA of the recipient.

Although this is in early stages of what it will eventually become, this technology is going to change the world forever, considering they already have used it for printing bladder transplants. The Potential of 3D printing is virtually limitless, anyone who can afford a 3D printer could create almost anything they could dream up and its only getting started.

Vermilion Fair A No-Go

Vermilion Ag Society Submitted

Vermilion, AB- June 17, 2021- Following Premier Kenney’s recent announcement detailing Alberta’s “open for summer” plan, we know that within our community, there was hope felt regarding our beloved annual fair. The membership of the Vermilion Agricultural Society has spent many hours taking an in-depth look at whether we could host the fair at a calibre that our community deserves and has celebrated since 1906.

After many discussions and explorations into what it would entail to have the 2021 fair, the Vermilion Agricultural Society has made the difficult decision that the Vermilion Fair will not take place this summer.

It takes hundreds of volunteers to deliver

the fair to our community while bringing far goers from all around our province into the Town of Vermilion. At this time, the Vermilion Agricultural Society feels the comfort and safety of our community, volunteers, exhibitors, and would-be attendees is best served by celebrating within our community.

We still intend to hold the smaller events that we have previously announced. We encourage you to celebrate with us during our fireworks show on July 31 to commemorate our 115th anniversary.

War Amps Key Tag Service Celebrates 75 Years

Submitted

Vermillion, AB, June 14, 2021 – The War Amps begins its 2021 key tag mailing to Vermillion residents this week with the theme “You Are a Part of What We Do,” marking the 75th anniversary of the Association’s Key Tag Service and paying tribute to the public for helping make it a success.

In the letter accompanying the key tags, parents Tracie and Jeremy describe how

The War Amps has supported their family, from the day their daughter, Michaela Blakslee, was born missing part of her left arm, as well as some fingers and toes.

As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, Michaela receives financial assistance for artificial limbs and devices and also attends regional seminars where Champs and their parents learn about the latest in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and staring, and parenting an amputee child.

Michaela’s artificial arms, which she calls her “helper hands”, include one for everyday use and another that she uses for activities like bike riding. “Without the funding from The War Amps, it would be very difficult for us to get her any prosthetics at all,” says Tracie and Jeremy. “Whatever isn’t covered through our workplace insurance and the government, The War Amps steps in so she has these devices to

The Key Tag Service was launched in 1946 so that returning war amputee veterans could not only work for competitive wages, but also provide a service to Canadians that would generate funds for the Association’s many programs. The Key Tag Service continues to employ amputees and people with disabilities and has returned more than 1.5 million sets of lost keys to their owners.

Each key tag has a confidentially coded number. If you lose your keys, the finder can call the toll-free number on the back of the tag or place them in any mailbox in Canada, and The War Amps will return them to you by courier, free of charge.

The War Amps receives no government grants and its programs are possible through public support of the Key Tag and Address Label Service.

We wore orange shirts to honor these children, coloured 215 orange flowers, and held 215 seconds of silence to commemorate this dark period in our collective history. We said prayers dedicated to these children and took time to reflect in our prayer journals. At St. Jerome’s, we are committed to being a part of the reconciliation and healing journey.

June 10 was our last hot lunch day for this school year. The staff and students would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the hot lunch committee for their work in bringing us hot lunch in a safe way this year. The hours spent finding a way to bring hot lunch to us under the restrictions was very much appreciated. A big thank you to Karen and Donna for their hard work to prepare the tasty lunches and all the work that they both did to deliver and clean up under the restrictions. Their flexibility and dedication to make sure that students and staff had hot lunches that were both healthy and delicious was just awesome. We look forward to more yummy lunches in the next school year.

During the week of June 14-18, we were very fortunate to have Autumn from Wanuskewin (in Saskatchewan) lead each grade through some virtual tipi teachings. K-3 made a tipi picture and Grade

4-6 participated in a tipi activity. Students said they learned several things they did not know prior to the presentation. Each pole of the tipi means something different – hope, good child reading, respect, love, faith, strength, obedience, humility, happiness, kinship, cleanliness, thankfulness, sharing, and ultimate protection.

The rope is the sacred bond that binds all the teachings together until they are all connected. The control flaps on a tipi teach that we are all connected by relationship and that we depend on each other. When assembling the poles, one must go around the circle the way the sun goes, to show respect. The symbols on the sides of the tipi each have a different meaning. The 45 minute presentations were fabulous.

Established almost 40 years ago, the Vermilion River Archers is one of Vermilion’s hidden gems. Based out of the armouries building, the archery club is open to people of all ages, and has remained active since its inception in 1984. Even though the regular archery season runs from November to roughly the end of April, the club can provide coaching/teaching to groups all year. During the winter season, classes run on Monday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. for youth and 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. for adults. The club does own equip-

ment for youth to access, but they encourage adults to provide their own.

The River Archers are an affiliated member of the Alberta Bowhunters Association and club members are signed up to become Bowhunter association members when they join. Being an association member provides the club with insurance coverage and access to archery events that happen throughout the province.

Government Seeking Agricultural Policy Framework Feedback Dawn Riley Reporter

60:40 basis.’

Consultations were set in motion on June 3, and will help shape the direction of the Next Agricultural Policy Framework by gathering the experience and ideas from stakeholders on all levels of agriculture. The Government would like to collaborate with its provincial and territorial partners, Canadians, and all stakeholders including agricultural producers and processors, women in agriculture, youth, Indigenous communities, environmental organizations, and small and emerging subsectors to not only seek feedback, but also help develop the next Framework. Working together, the priorities and vision of the framework will be developed.

On a provincial level, Alberta Agriculture Minister Devin Dreeshen is seeking out feedback on an online survey that closes July 2, 2021. On the Alberta government website Dreeshen states “Alberta’s agri-food sector is doing well despite the challenges in recent years, but we know that challenges will likely continue to persist. Through CAP and the

NPF, we will support Alberta’s Recovery Plan through increased investment attraction and improved market access. We are pushing forward with an aggressive strategy to bring investment to our processing and primary agriculture sectors, while also setting ambitious growth targets.” The province is also collaborating with the other prairie provinces to establish fair and equitable national Agricultural Partnerships programs for all impacted sectors.

The application process has been streamlined and simplified, promoting the ability to create jobs and drive money into Alberta’s economy. The funding from

Planning for the next Agricultural Policy Framework has begun on both provincial and federal levels, and input and feedback is wanted. This framework is intended to replace the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year, $3 billion investment by Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen and grow Canada’s agri-food and agri-products sectors. The partnership expires in 2023, and policy negotiations will begin at the Ministers of Agriculture conference this fall. Both levels of government are asking for feedback and opinions of those in the sector to use in their planning.

In a press release from Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau, it was highlighted that the ‘Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector is a powerhouse of the Canadian economy, spurring job creation and prosperity across the country. The agriculture and agri-food system generates over $139 billion of our gross domestic product and, when combined with seafood, nearly $74 b i l l i o n of o ur exports, while employing more Canadians than any other manufacturing industry in the country.
