Dawn Riley Reporter

Af ter a successful launch of the Communities in Mind Campaign in 2021, Cornerstone Co-op and the Alberta Mental Health Foundation have partnered again this year to bring Mental Health resources to the community.

The intent of the campaign is to help the people who reside in the communities that Cornerstone Co-op serves

know how to access services for Mental Health support through trying times.

Originally created as a response to the social isolation and mental stress that COVID-19 has amplified for many people, the program is beneficial to anyone stressed or needing a place to turn to, and searching for resources and support.

Lori Ann Nelson

It is with deep sorrow we have to say our wonderful daughter Lori Ann Nelson of Calgary, AB, passed away January 27, 2022 at the age of 51 years. Lori Ann was born in Lloydminster, SK, on Aug 18, 1970.

Lori Ann took her schooling in Tulliby Lake and Marwayne. After graduating she went to Australia for 7 months then onto Denmark for another 7 months both on Agriculture exchange. When she returned home she worked with an oil company till she went to university for a Petroleum Engineering degree which took her to Bonnyville, Lloydminster and finally to Calgary. She received awards for her hard work and dedication. Lori Ann’s expectation of herself was for excellence. Most recently she decided to make a career change so was enrolled at the Bow Valley College in the Health Care Aid two-year program, which she would have graduated from in August 2022. In the Dean’s condolences she expressed Lori Ann was a bright, caring person and absolute pleasure to have in the program.

Lori Ann at a very young age was very responsible and competent which continued throughout her life. Lori Ann was involved in farm/ranch life, she did whatever it took to help out, whether it was looking after her brothers, working cattle on her horse, operating farm equipment or weeding the garden. She was in gymkhana, 4H, figure skating, curling and softball to name a few of her extra activities. She was also Lea Park Rodeo Queen in 1986. Her favorite place on earth was the river hills along the North Saskatchewan River on the family farm.

Animals were always a part of her life especially her horses and dogs. She had a strong dislike for chickens, turkeys and especially mice! At Lori Ann’s passing she had a faithful dog companion Ella, which she thought the world of.

Lori Ann was a special person that will be missed by all who knew her, may she rest in peace. Our hearts are filled with incredible sadness. She was caring, giving, compassionate and supportive to family and friends. We will miss her beautiful smile.

Lori Ann leaves to mourn her passing, parents Robert and Arlene Nelson, brothers Vincent (Arlene), Curt (Kristin), nieces Madison, Sydni and nephews Ethan, Ryan and Walker.

Lori Ann was predeceased by Grandparents Clarence and Ivy Isert; Grandparents Leonard and Hazel Nelson; and Uncle Bob Isert.

In living memory of Lori Ann, a tree will be planted in Calgary in the Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area by McInnis & Holloway Funeral homes, Park Memorial of Calgary. A service to celebrate Lori Ann’s life will take place at a later date.

Thanks to friends and family for all your support, don’t know what we would have done without you, especially our sons Vince and Curt. Thanks also for flowers, visits, food and phone calls. Thanks to McInnis & Holloway Funeral Homes of Calgary. We really appreciate all you have done for us.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cochrane Humane Society or donor’s choice.

Trail Network Expansion And New Playground Project

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The trail network expansion and new playground project through the Town of Wainwright has received the green light due in part to an investment of $374,790 from the Government of Canada, through the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) and is administered in Alberta by Prairies Economic Development Canada.

The project will include 1071 meters of paved trails, 20 solar crosswalks, 20 recycling receptacles, 10 waste/recycling receptacles, eight bike racks, playground equipment and, an upgrade to the Wallace Park Pond.

The project will increase trail connectivity within the Town of Wainwright enhancing the accessibility to the Main Street/ downtown core and highway shopping districts, which will assist the businesses that have been adversely affected by the pandemic. It was also stated that trail users

will have easier access to recreational areas throughout the community which will increase the use of the facilities that have had multiple lockdowns that resulted in lost revenues, while additional trails, solar crosswalks, benches, bike racks, waste and recycling receptabcles, a new playground and Wallace Park upgrades will make Wainwright a more attractive community to those looking to relocate. It will also provide newcomers, particularly those without licenses or vehicles an easy way to commute to work thereby adding employment opportunities.

“The trail system with the addition of benches, crosswalks, bike racks, a new playground & Wallace Park upgrades provides new ways for the community to connect improving mental health, community involvement, retention of youth and residents & economic growth. We are excited to move forward with this project!” commented Bruce Pugh, Mayor, Town of Wainwright.

Craig Baird Columnist

Back in 1922, there was no Internet and no television. There were two ways that people heard about the outside world, the newspaper and the radio. Nearly every community had some sort of newspaper, but a century ago, only a few communities had radios within them.

Vermilion was one of those lucky communities.

On May 18, 1922, it was announced that Vermilion would be placed on the radio map of Alberta. The local Great War Veterans Association stated they were keenly interested in a radio apparatus a few weeks previous and they decided to form a syndicate. This syndicate would purchase a receiving set and they began work to set up the station.

Before long, they were receiving

Spinal Implant Helps Paralyzed People Walk Again

Braxton Hoare Columnist

For all of history those affected by spinal injuries would be subject to life constrained to their wheelchairs. There have been many attempts to allow people affected to regain some of their movement. However, until recently almost all of these ideas have been completely unsuccessful.

Finally, a new technique of using an electrical device to boost the brain’s neural signals has succeeded by allowing people to move their legs again. It works by boosting the neural signals along the spine so that they are strong enough to create movement once they pass

Helen Row Toews Columnist

A Country Wave I’d like to draw your attention to a phenomenon seen only in Canad a’s rural areas: the country wave. This simple greeting could make all the difference in someone’s day during our present time of trouble.

I refer, of course, to the silent salute shared between the occupants of two vehicles passing, like ships in the night, down a gravel road. (The only observable differences are a cloud of choking dust and a lot of water.) Allow me to explain. We country folk wave at all those we pass. They may be neighbours, or we may never have laid eyes on them before.

It makes no difference. It’s a gesture of comradery and acceptance that can’t be

through the damaged nerves. Think of these neural signals like a sound moving through a hallway but the door at the end of the hallway is shut. If you’re trying to tell someone on the other side of the door what you need them to do you will need to be louder. So think of this new device as the megaphone for neural signals.

The mastermind behind this new life changing technology, Dr. Courtine knew the device would be at least moderately successful. However the doctor did not expect the neural signals produced by the device to cause the actual nerves at the site of the spinal injury to heal. Further research will be needed in order to find out exactly why this is happening. Although it is a welcomed side effect as patients are actually making a partial recovery.

This system is currently not a perfect

solution to paralysis. However, in patients ment again and even be able to keep up whose paralysis is due to spinal injury or with their peers in a on foot race. nerve damage it can help to make significant improvements. In its current version this device is helping patients move their legs, however not unassisted. Though this will likely change over time as the technology becomes better researched and the patients regain more leg strength.

Current patients of this device have been able to walk for about 3 hours with a walker, when previously not being able to move a single muscle in their legs. While there is still more work to be done, many people will be more than happy with the results the team has already been able to achieve. Of course it is exciting to see how much this technology will improve over the next few years. Maybe someday people will be able to regain full move- File photo

found anywhere else but down a country road in our great land.

Of course, this is not to be confused with the courtesy wave, which is a brief signal of gratitude to a fellow motorist who has shown consideration on the road. Or an apology wave made after some dumb manoeuver, like cutting another vehicle off. The latter is usually accompanied by a guilty grin, a slight shrug, or a decided averting of the eyes.

Certainly, it’s not the flirtatious wave; randomly wiggling all fingers at shoulder level, almost exclusively used by women with effective results. Nor the regal wave popularized by the Queen in which the hand is cupped and moved slowly to and fro at a steady, measured pace. This signifies good breeding and restraint.

You’ll never catch the Queen flapping her arm like some nut to seize the attention of a friend across the street.

We’ve all seen or been a part of the brotherhood wave between truck drivers and motorcyclists. This isn’t what I’m speaking of either, although it’s getting closer. This wave is exclusive.

Only those belonging to either group are included in the signal. It’s more a sign of professional respect between those who understand the inherent difficulties of a job or a collective love for a mode of transportation representing freedom and nonconformity.

No, the country wave can be described in this short tale. When I was a child, our family often went for a Sunday drive.

We’d ramble through the Saskatchewan countryside wherever the wind blew us, enjoying a rippling field of grain or lush green pastures dotted with cattle.

Unfailingly, my father would lift a hand of acknowledgment to each passing motorist, as they did in turn. Wondering how

the heck my father could know everyone in a 100-mile radius, I recall questioning him on it one afternoon, miles from home.

“It’s just what country folks do,” he responded, smiling down at me from beneath his worn brown Stetson.

I don’t suppose he’d given it much thought, as may be the case with us all.

However, if you consider it, this simple expression of friendship assures us we do not stand alone. For better or worse, we’re all in this together and share in the common bonds of community and solidarity found in folks living close to the earth. It’s a silent communication guaranteeing help should the need arise.

People in the country pull together in tough times and rejoice together in good, but right now, it doesn’t matter where you live; we all need to pull together. Go ahead and wave.

Pink Day - A Symbol Of Kindness

Lorna Hamilton Editor

Over the past t wo years, we have seen the wor ld and our community struggle with COVID. We have seen us all go from a community united to a community of division due to vaccine and COVID mandated restrictions. In the beginning, many posts were about being in this together, it was a united front, well wishes were sent, words of encouragement were sent, notes of togetherness were sent, meals and

lunches were often donated to frontline workers, etc. It was a time when kindness and togetherness were at the forefront of our minds and implemented in our lives daily. I’m not exactly sure when the tides changed but they did, soon there were personal attacks on each other on Facebook and other social media platforms if one didn’t agree with another’s views. The anti-vaxxers, pro-vaxxers, pro-mandate, anti-mandate believers began to tear at each other with hateful and demeaning words constantly, and to this day almost two and a half years later it seems like it will never stop, no matter what happens

in the world around us. I think COVID has torn our solidarity apart (what is happening with the trucker protest the last few days is a perfect example) and I hope that when it is all lifted and we are supposed to learn to live with COVID it will provide us all an opportunity to revert to the normal Canadian way! Canadians have always been known for their kindness, politeness, and our ability to live as a peaceful nation and I fear the unkindness and division have become so ingrained we will never find our way back! So, I put forth this challenge to our communities- I challenge everyone to not let our differences of opinion tear us

apart (simply agree to disagree). I challenge everyone to remove the hateful and demeaning words from our vocabulary.

I challenge everyone to take the symbol of Pink Day, which is kindness and implement it into their everyday lives, not just on Pink Day, (resist the urge to be a keyboard warrior.) Let us show the world that COVID has not beaten us, let us show the world that Canadians are still a bunch of funloving, polite, kind, caring, non-fighting people we have always been known for, and let us be proud of who we were once known for and who we can be again, just love thy neighbour.

How To Educate Your Kids About Bullying

It’s important to teach your children about bullying. Here are three tips for starting the conversation at home.

Teach them to identify it Bullying can take many dif ferent forms. Ensure your children understand that mistreating someone is wrong and can have serious consequences at home, school and in their c o m munit y. If your c hil dre n l ear n about bullying, they’ll be able to identify the behaviour and under­s tand if it ’s happening to them or someone else.

Talk about it openly and often The more you talk to your children about bullying, the more likely they’ll

tell you if they see or experience the behaviour in action. For example, if your children witness bullying on a TV show, use it as an opportunity to discuss what bullying is and why it’s wrong.

Be a good role model Children will imitate the behaviour you model. Show your kids how to treat people with kindness and respect by doing so yourself. In addition, be sure to speak up if others are being mistreated and demonstrate empathy for those who are different.

It’s never too early to start teaching your children about how to be kind and speak out against bullying.

The Legal Consequences Of Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is more than just hurtful. In fact, many types of online harassment are considered illegal and can lead to criminal prosecution.

For starters, as of March 2015, the Criminal Code of Canada specifically states that anyone convicted of distributing intimate images without consent could face serious legal conse­quences, including: • Going to prison for up to five years • Having their computer, phone or other devices seized

Submitted Remember what kindness feels like?

Town of Vermilion Family & Community Support Services (FCSS) encourages you to spread some kindness during the month

• Paying the victim’s costs to have the image removed from the internet Furthermore, it’s possible for bullying to cross the line into criminal conduct.

Cyberbullying might lead to breaking the law if it involves criminal harassment, making threats, ex tor tion or defamatory libel, among other things.

How to report cyberbullying If you or someone you know is the victim of cyberbullying, it’s important to know that you can report:

The little kind things such as calling or texting someone to catch-up with them can make a big difference in someone’s day.

February 23 is Pink Shirt day – a day that started in 2007 with Canadian students who cared about including a peer in their school. Let’s be mindful of how we respond to others and fan the flame of kindness in our community. We want to collect some stories about the kindness you have seen in our community, kindness you’ve experienced, or delivered to others. Please send your stories to fcss@vermilion.ca.

Kindness helps to connect us and build

relationships. We have “Who is My Neighbour?” postcards available at no cost at the Town Hall as a tool to help you introduce yourself and become more connected with your neighbours.

How To Stand Up To Workplace Bullies

Bullying in the workplace isn’t always overt. In some cases, it may involve being tasked with an unreasonable amount of work or not being given fair access to opportunities for promotion.

In fact, workplace bullying may not even occur face to face. It could take place on social media or via email, text message, phone call or letter.

If you’re being bullied by a co-worker,

the first thing you should do is try to address the situation. Make sure to firmly let the bully know how their actions are making you feel, and ask them to stop.

If this doesn’t work, compile evidence you can present to your manager. Save all email threads and text messages, and keep a log of all incidences of bullying, including the dates, times, locations and names of anyone who witnesses your co-worker bullying you.

If your manager can’t help diffuse the situation, it may be time to file a formal complaint. To do so, you should first

find out if there are any workplace policies or procedures in place to report bullying. If so, follow them. There may also be designated repre­s entatives in your human resources department who are trained to deal with these types of issues.

On a personal level, remember to not take bullying personally. If someone harasses you, it says more about them than it does about you. Try not to dwell on the situation, get support if you need it and remember to look after your mental health.

As a pay it wanted to do something special for the staff at the school to thank them for everything they do. Parent Council Chair Danielle Eriksen began thinking of ways to acknowledge all the perseverance and work the staff do to ensure that their students are taken care of and getting every opportunity to Be The Best They Can Be. It was decided that lunch would be a nice way to show the staff that they are appreciated by their school community.

Council appealed to the community for help in purchasing the lunches, donations of $15 were asked for to cover the costs.

Long before lunch was served on February 16, the council raised over $500 to provide a hot lunch, a drink and a chocolate treat to 29 of the staff members.

The staff were very thankful for the lunch, Lunch from Boston Pizza ready for the staff. Photos Dawn Riley Reporter

Research that’s underway now won’t solve this year’s drought, but it should help us deal with the next one. By the same token, research done during the big drought of the early 2000s provides some valuable lessons about managing the cow herd in today’s drought.

Dr. Cheryl Waldner of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon led a large beef cow productivity study from the start of the 2001 breeding season through weaning in 2002. This corresponded to the widespread drought that

Participating producers individually identified each cow and calf, recorded all calf births, maintained an active veterinary-client-patient relationship, had good animal handling facilities, pregnancy tested all breeding females, had a veterinarian evaluate all herd bulls, had an established spring or summer breed- File photo

Trooper is a 5-month-old loving, playful and slightly unique pup that came into the shelter at about 1 month old and hypothermic and extremely malnourished.

Our community really pulled through for him and donated to help make him happy and healthy again. Trooper went through so much in his short life but now he is ready to take on the world. He had really weak front legs and had to have them taped for a couple months, and not he just runs with a little bit of a hop. We anticipate that in the future that he will unfortunately have to deal with arthritis so he will need a home that is ready for anything and willing to spoil him, just like he deserves.

If you think your home is the right home for Trooper, then be sure to send in an Adoption Application for him on our Website or you can book an appointment to meet Trooper and fill out an application in person. We, and Trooper, hope to see you soon!

BULL BREEDERS Continued from page 14 What They Learned: Drought had significant impacts, even in these well-managed herds.

Abortion: (Theriogenology 81:840848; doi.org /10.1016/j.theriogenology.2013.12.016). The average risk of abortion was 1.7% but exceeded 7% in some herds. The odds of abortion were 1.6 times higher in cows with a suboptimal body condition score (below a score of 3 on the 5-point Canadian system or a 5 on the 9-point American body condition scale) compared to cows in better condition. Cows that lost more condition during pregnancy were also more likely to abort than cows that maintained or improved body condition.

Stillbir th: (Livestock Science 16 3:126 -13 9; d x.d o i.org /10.1016 / j. livsci.2014.01.032). The average risk of stillbirth was 2.7% but exceeded 6% in some herds. Calves born to cows in suboptimal body condition were more than twice as likely to be dead at, or soon after, birth than calves from cows in better body condition.

Rainfall played a role as well; even after accounting for body condition, abortion was more likely in regions that received less than 200 mm (8 inches) of rain during the previous growing season.

Preweaning mortalities: (Can. Vet. J. 51:1227-1238; pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/21286322/; and Can. J. Anim. Sci. 97:65-82; dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjas-20160055). During the 2001-2002 study, the average risk that a calf would die before weaning was 4%, with nearly half of those dying within three days of birth. Nutritional (particularly vitamin and trace mineral) deficiencies were responsible for more deaths than infectious diseases. Two of the most common deficiencies in calves

were vitamins A and E. All vitamins have a wide variety of essential functions, but A and E both have roles in the immune system. Calves that were deficient in vitamin A were nearly three times more likely to die, calves that were deficient in vitamin E were more than twice as likely to get scours, and calves that were deficient in both A and E were nearly three times as

likely to die than those that had adequate levels of one or both vitamins.

So What Does This Mean… to Me? Drought cuts forage yields, but it also cuts forage quality. Vitamins A and E are most abundant in green, leafy forage, but levels drop when forage is cut, dried or stored for winter. Last summer’s forage wasn’t overly green or leafy, so vitamin A

and E levels were probably low to begin with and are almost certainly lower now, especially if you’re feeding older hay or more straw than usual. Calves get their nutrients through the placenta during gestation, from colostrum at birth or the milk in the first few weeks and months of life.

The Vermilion Voice | February 22, 2022

BULL BREEDERS Continued from page 17 Thin or nutritionally deficient cows on nutritionally deficient diets or pastures without appropriate supplementation will raise nutrient deficient calves that have a much higher risk of becoming sick or dying.

Even before Christmas, significant problems linked to poor body condition and nutritional deficiencies were showing up in

cow herds throughout the prairies. Deficiencies are not just about energy and vitamins.

High sulfates are a common problem in many parts of the prairies; these, can bind copper and cause a secondary copper deficiency. Evaporation due to the dry summer and fall has concentrated the sulfates in many dugouts, greatly increasing the risk of copper deficiency.

By now, even winter-grazed herds are probably being fed or supplemented. If you haven’t already, call your veterinarian and/ or nutritionist to discuss what your cows (and especially your bred heifers) need for a successful calving season, what to look for and how to cost-effectively correct potential nutritional deficiencies in the cow herd and their calves (e.g., injectable vitamin E and

selenium to prevent white muscle disease).

Doing the right things won’t prevent every problem, but it will mean fewer and smaller problems. In contrast, not testing your feed or appropriately supplementing energy, protein, vitamin and (micro)mineral levels to save money in the short-term will probably be a more risky and costly strategy in the longer term, especially if it means losing calves after wintering the cow herd on some expensive but poor-quality feed.
