Tofield Western Days

This bull fighter hopped in to help the bull rider.

Sue Chikie Reporter

Tofield Western Days was held from August 11 to 14 celebrating 50 years of the Tofield Ag. Society. The events were kicked off on Thursday with a Food Truck Fair, a petting zoo, face painting, an open beer garden as well as a special Professional Bull Rider Autograph signing. This was followed by the popular Bull Bash which had spectators on the edge of their seat, and afterwards attendees enjoyed the cabaret.

Friday continued with families enjoying the Promenade and street fair, and then the Sodbuster rodeo slack took place.

Saturday had the ever popular pancake breakfast, where people had time to visit and connect with friends. It was a warm afternoon for the rodeo action which had young trick riders performing, bareback and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, Junior Bull riding, team ropers, bull riding, mutton bustin’ and the wild pony races.

Ricky Ticky Wanchuck and his nephew the rodeo clowns performed various acts throughout the afternoon which kept the crowd entertained.

The rodeo performance continued on Sunday afternoon, under another sunny sky.

Reporter

The Alber ta Sherif fs held a L aw Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) BBQ o n A u g u s t 12 a t t h e C o r n e r s t o n e Co-op Pharmacy parking lot in Vermilion in support of the Special Olympics Alberta.

At tendees also had the oppor tunity to take a ride in the bucket of the Vermilion Fire & Rescue ladder as well as participate in a 50/50 draw.

“The Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Alber ta is the official charity of choice for the Alberta’s Association of Chief’s of Police, and their mission is to raise awareness and funds for the Special Olym-

pic s movement,” explained Sherif f Thomas Bidell. He also mentioned that the LETR was established in 1987 in Alber ta and since its inception it has raised over $9 million for Special Olympics Alberta.

While community Torch Runs are the main awareness campaigns the LETR fundraising is a 365 day a year movement that raised $610,000 in 2018.

Special Olympics Canada is a grassroots international organization, but Special Olympics Alberta specifically supports Special Olympics in Alberta.

The organization provides training opportunities in 18 sports including, alpine skiing, cross-countr y skiing, curling, figure skating, floor hockey, snowshoeing and speed skating in the winter and 5-pin bowling, 10-pin bowling, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, gymnastics, soccer, softball and swimming for the summer category.

M-M-I F.C.S.S. Hosts ‘Coffee Connections’

Several locals enjoyed a Cof fee Connections session at the Innisfree Millennium Building on August 9.

Mannville-Minburn-Innisfree Family and Community Support Services (M-M-I F.C.S.S.) hosts one session per month in the villages of both Mannville and Innisfree.

The Coffee Connections program was created as a way to build connections in the community, maintain well-being, as well as improve the citizens’ overall quality of life. When organizers take time to meet with community members, they are able to discuss and address ongoing social needs of the community. This time, residents in Innisfree were excited about the upcoming fair the following day.

“This is a great way to be active in

the community and help us notice areas where there could be room for improvement; we want to be on the prevention end of things where we can. Conversations don’t always have to take place in a big crowd, because sometimes it’s easier to be able to connect one-onone in person,” said M-M-I F.C.S.S. Program Coordinator, Carla Cavanagh.

She said M-M-I F.C.S.S. also hosts an ‘Endeavour to be Different’ program which introduces learning new skills and opportunities for interaction. It allows community members a space to engage in lively conversation, gain knowledge relevant to positive social development and enjoy building new connections in rural communities, all while learning a new skill. Each month, a new topic and skill is presented, and this month of August participants will have the opportunity to learn how to

play the ukulele. M-M-I F.C.S.S. believes there are many positive benefits to music.

M-M-I F.C.S.S. with the help of community volunteer Sheila Whitmore and the Innisfree & Mannville Libraries, will be gathering for the presentation, instruction

and to try out a few two-chord songs, suitable for ages 12 and up to learn.

Participants are encouraged to register by calling 780-763-3005; sessions will be taking place August 16 in Mannville, and August 18 in Innisfree.

Town Welcomes New Director Of Infrastructure

A p p r ox i m ate l y s i x m o nt h s ag o, t h e To w n o f Ve r m i l i o n we l c o m e d new Director of Infrastructure, Ben M c Ph e e. O r i g i n a l l y f r o m B r o o k s , McPhee worked in Olds before coming to Vermilion.

“The sense of community in municipalities of this size has always been a draw for myself and my family. On the professional side, municipalities of this size and roles such as this often means that there are ‘many different hats’ a person wears in a day, which keeps the job interesting and fast paced,” said McPhee.

H e h a s h i s C.E .T in Ci v il En g i neering Technologies and is working towards obtaining his P.Tech (Eng) this year. His extensive background in infrastructure began as a summer student and labourer installing water pipelines and canals for an irrigation district. From there, he worked with a civil engineering consulting firm who

specialized in municipal infrastructure and development.

“With them I completed new development and subdivision projects, rural and regional water lines, and municipal reconstruction projects. From consulting I then took on a roll for the Town of Olds that looked after their major infrastructure projects and infrastructure management. With Olds I helped foster new development coming in as well as reconstruction driven by the Town,” commented McPhee.

His role in Vermilion entails many different aspects ranging from planning and development, to managing and airport, public works and utilities, and everything in between. Projects McPhee is involved in working with the Town include some street replacement programs for upcoming years; meaning upgrading roads that are currently at a gravel state and paving them. They are also working on a plan to replace the sewer trunk main.

“One of the major challenges that

comes with this role and is not unique to Vermilion is the funding gap for infrastructure. Budget dollars are scarce, and the infrastructure needs are large, and this is a problem that every municipality is encountering right now with inflation and high demand for work,” said McPhee. “However, when there is difficulty, there comes adversity with creative solutions and partnerships which helps keep things interesting and moving forward. Finding these solutions and providing more value for the funding available is what makes it all worthwhile.”

Since Februar y McPhee’s favourite par t about Vermilion has been the people. He said everyone in the community has been very welcoming and wonderful to work with.

“My wife and two daughters have relocated to the area very recently, and are settling in quite nicely to the area. I am getting settled into the new position now, and am getting a better understanding of the Town. It will take

a full year to get a handle on everything as I learn Town events, seasonal work, detailed infrastructure knowledge sharing, and other miscellaneous items as they come up, said McPhee.

“My initial experience with the Town has been amazing. I couldn’t have been more fortunate than to be working with such a great group of people,” explained McPhee.

Sometimes we end up with a few extra groceries, and instead of wasting them, they can be turned into yummy desserts. Don’t throw overripe bananas away, but instead turn them into banana bread.

The technologic al sing ular it y is a radical idea that someday in the not s o d i s t a nt fu ture we could be living in a very different world. Most experts in the field of AI research believe that this event will cause an extraordinary shift in the way we live our lives, and it could happen easily before the end of the century.

A technological singularity is what could happen if Artificial Intelligence Software becomes sufficient enough to accelerate the rate at which new technologies are discovered. This will happen once the same AI (Artificial Intelligence) that has been previously used to beat the top chess players, GO players, and generate photos, can demonstrate that same level of superiority in virtually anything it does.

Bread pudding is a classic.This histor y of Bread Pudding goes all the way back to the 11th Century in England, as a way to use up stale bread. There are similar versions in the Middle East that add both slivered almonds and raisins. Another popular aromatic is using 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, with or without the cinnamon.

At first it will feel like progress is moving slowly, and then it will happen all at once.

In this new world AI will be superior to us in every way, in science, in art, and in philosophy. This new Super AI will act like an omnipotent parent teaching us about what it has discovered. However, it is likely that it will see things on a scale that we could not even begin to understand, so many of its decisions won’t make any sense to us; we will just have to trust that it has our interests at heart.

When Paratroopers Attacked Vermilion

Columnist

The area of Ve r m i l i o n h a s n ot been known as a location where there has been much military conflict. During the 1885 North West Resistance, there may have been some worries over conflict, but nothing happened.

In fact, there has never been an invading force coming into Vermilion in most of its history until one October day when paratroopers suddenly appeared in the sky ready to attack the industry potential of Vermilion.

What’s sense got to do with it?

“I like collecting sticks,” the little boy responded after turning his head to one side and tapping a thoughtful finger on his chin. The children had been asked what their favourite outdoor activity was, and we’d received the usual answers: riding bikes, playing with friends, visiting the playground. This was unexpected.

“Sticks, hey?” I asked.

“Yeah,” he replied carelessly, “but not so much anymore since Mom told me I had too many damn sticks. She says the backyard is full of ‘em.” He leaned closer and lowered his voice confidingly, “I got a lot of sticks.”

I hid my smile but got thinking later about my own youthful outdoor activities. I used to like cycling. So I took it up again to stave off weight gain.

World War though, but two decades later in 1964.

O n O c t. 19, 19 6 4, paratroo per s suddenly appeared in the sk y over Ve r m i l i o n a n d b e g a n t o d e s c e n d onto the community. The assault was made by 100 members of Edmonton’s A Company, Second Battalion of the legendar y Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry.

The only thing standing in the way of these paratroopers and their goal to capture the powerplant, a small dam and the municipal airport were 3 5 m e m b e r s o f A C o m p a ny f r o m the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, who formed up the defensive around the airport.

The paratroopers were commanded

by M aj or C.E. G o o d m an, an d t h e paratroopers were dropped from a C-119 aircraft from the RCAF Station Namao.

In the battle, there were no casualties and no one was injured because, o bv i o u s l y, t h ey wer e u s i n g b l a n k ammunition.

This was all a training drill regarding the capturing of a Canadian town that had a strong industrial sector and was close to a major city. The goal was to paralyze that industrial potential for the community, thereby hurting the rest of the province in the process.

As for who won the battle, according to Major Goodman, it was a success-

Prairie Wool

It’s been good. Daughter Aliyah and I pedal down our road in the crisp evening air discussing everything from Shakespeare to Charolais cattle. (Okay, we don’t really discuss cows. I threw that in to please Dad, the cattleman.)

On our latest excursion, I told her of a bike ride taken years ago with my brother Bill. He’s five years younger than me, yet we were inseparable. Of course, as the oldest, I took the lead regarding important decisions. Stuff like whether to: swing on the corral gates (after we’d been expressly forbidden), climb on a stack of square hay bales (also prohibited), or cross the creek on a raft made from an elderly tire tube and a hunk of rotting plywood. Often—alright— usually, these choices ended in disaster.

But I digress. One afternoon, when I was about twelve, we found ourselves pedaling far from home. Dad was fixing a fence in a far pasture, and we meant to surprise him.

Laughing, we rounded the bend beside a thick poplar bluff and gazed down the road ahead.

YIKES! Trotting toward us was an insignificant animal with a powerful presence. A skunk.

He stopped, we stopped—the whole world stopped as we eyed one another not ten feet apart.

From the corner of my mouth, I hissed, “When I give the word, drop your bike and run.”

Likewise, Bill addressed me sideways, his lips barely moving, “Wouldn’t it make more sense to ride our…”

“NOW,” I hollered as my bicycle clattered to the turf, and I sprinted away. Still doubting this wisdom was Bill, running close behind.

Perhaps similarly questioning my sanity was the skunk, who also took his leave with far less drama.

For the people in Vermilion on that day, it must have been quite the sight to see people descending from the sky, ready to attack the airport, for the purposes of training troops.

home,” Bill grumbled from a nearby hill as we paused to pant. “And what about Dad’s lunch?”

It was a reasonable question but one I wasn’t prepared to entertain until that evening when our irritated father returned from the field.

“It’s bad enough you kids can’t take care of your things at home, but now I find your bicycles tossed into the middle of a road half a mile away! What are you playing at?”

Aliyah snickered as I relayed the tale.

“You weren’t a very sensible kid, were you?” she said.

The Vermilion 4-H Light Horse Club hosted the 52nd Annual Rusty Bit Horse Show on August 13.

Throughout the day they covered showmanship with English and Western classes, and local participants joined members entering a gymkhana in the afternoon.

The Vermilion 4-H Light Horse Club has been operating since 1967. Running nearly that long, the Rusty Bit Awards were once again donated by the Coutts family. Competitors of all ages were vying for the hand made Rusty Bit Trophy awarded for the overall high point throughout the day as well as high point awards in each division.

“Oh my gosh it’s so fun, and you meet so many new people and reunite with old friends. It gives you new found companionship and teaches you how to stay calm because your horse can feel it.” said Rikki Moon who is a first year 4-H Light Horse member. “ “4-H has always been always about building future role models. A lot of participants are past members or volunteers.

Seven-year old Hunter Endstrom was in his third year participating and said he loved it because he gets to learn new riding skills.

“It is fun and gives you responsibility, teaching you how to take care of your horse,” said eight-year member, Olivia Elder.

Alberta Cancer Foundation Announces Cash And Cars Lottery Launch

Submitted Over 1,900 dream prizes worth $3.6M available to be won in support of cancer patients CALGARY, AB (July 21, 2022) – The Alberta Cancer Foundation today announced the 2022 lineup of prizes in the annual Cash and Cars Lottery, which includes 1,924 exciting prizes worth over $3.6 million. Proceeds from the annual lottery will go to support the 17 cancer centres across Alberta, helping cancer patients and their families from the time of diagnosis through to survivorship, with enhanced care programs and contributions to cancer research and detection.

For over t wo decades, the annual lottery has provided Albertans affected by cancer, along with their families and friends, a chance to come together and show support for cancer patients, as well as raise funds for the effort to find a cure. The lottery’s impact has been felt by brain cancer survivor Scott Gammer, who was first diagnosed in 2014 but remained positive, in part due to the support he received from Alberta Cancer Foundation donors. “ B e f o r e t h e c a n c e r d i a g n o s i s ,” Gammer said, “I was working all the time and not really noticing the stars, sunsets, sunrises and the beautiful things all around me, including my kids, my wife, and trying to make memories with them.

I know my longevity has been impacted, but I’ll tell you, the impact that it has made on my life has been way more valuable than if I had never got cancer.”

Today, Scott is an active volunteer at the Cross Cancer Institute, sharing his story of survival and how the Alberta Cancer Foundation helped create more moments for him and his family.

With tickets starting at $100 each, 2 for $150, 6 for $275 or 18 for $450, a total of 149,600 tickets will be sold, including an array of phenomenal prizes such as: Grand Prize Package #1 is valued at more than $1.3 million and includes an elegant, modern west coast-inspired home in Calgary built by Truman homes that features 3,202 square feet of fully furnished living space, including three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and $20,000 cash.

Grand Prize Package #2 is a fully furnished modern farmhouse-style home in Edmonton built by Kimberley, valued at more than $1.1 million. The 3,406 square foot home has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and includes $20,000 cash.

The Early Bird Prize Package is the winner’s choice of a fully furnished condo in Maple, valued at $418,000 or $350,000 cash. Final ticket sales deadline for early bird tickets is Sept 15 and the draw is Sept 29.

The Cash and Cars 50/50 Lottery jackpot is back—bigger than ever—with

the winner taking home up to $3,487,500 in cash. The jackpot continues to grow with every ticket sold. Tickets are $10 each, 5 for $25, 15 for $50, 30 for $75 or 50 for $100. A total of 3,145,000 tickets will be sold.

The Win Daily Lottery features cash prizes drawn every day in November for a total of $345,000 to win. Tickets are $20 each, 5 for $35, 15 for $50, 30 for $75 or 50 for $100. A total of 462,950 tickets will be sold.

Other prizes include six fabulous vacations for two, 67 cash prizes ranging from $100 to $10,000, amazing vehicles, home electronics, fitness equipment, jewellery, recreational prizes and more.

“There’s a big reason why the Cash and Cars lottery has become so highly anticipated each year,” said Wendy Beauchesne, CEO, Alber ta Cancer Foundation. “It’s because Albertans across the province look forward to lending their support to this worthy cause and the 17 cancer centres on three Treaty Territories, six, seven and eight. We are excited to launch the 2022 edition, look forward to congratulating all our winners, and most importantly, lending support to Alberta cancer patients.”

For individuals looking to participate, tickets can be purchased by phone toll free at 1.877.783.7403, online at cashandcarslotter y.ca or by mail at

Working Safely In The Heat

Alberta News Submitted

The Vermilion Voice | August 16, 2022

When the temperature is up, proper health and safety practices can help protect workers from heat-related injury and illness.

Extreme heat is a potential workplace hazard for workers who work outdoors and in some indoor settings. The Occupational

Health and Safety Act requires employers to assess heat-related hazards and take all reasonable steps to protect the health and safety of workers.

“Alberta summers can add safety risks for those working outside or in other hot environments. Keeping hydrated and taking time to cool down is critical to maintaining healthy and safe workplaces. I

encourage employers and workers to work together to minimize the risks of hot temperatures so that everyone can return home safely,” Kaycee Madu, Minister of Labour and Immigration.

Employers and workers should be aware of the early signs of heat stress and treat it immediately.

Signs include: - irritability - headache - dizziness and fatigue - heavy sweating - dehydration (may include a reduced ability to sweat) - muscle cramps - heat rash These symptoms can progress to heat stroke, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.

What employers can do: - provide plenty of cool drinking water - reduce physical activity demands on workers, change the work location to a cooler, shaded area, and create a cooling station where workers can rest - use a work/rest schedule with extra breaks if needed

Cash and Cars Lottery 2022, PO Box 340 Station M Calgary, AB, T2P 2H9. All draws will be conducted using an RNG (Random Number Generation) system.

Ticket buyers are eligible for all draws provided they have purchased their tickets by the applicable cut-off dates. Final ticket sales deadline is midnight, October 6, 2022. Final draws will be held October 18, 2022.

What workers can do: - stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water - wear suitable clothing for the heat in combination with any needed personal protective equipment - alert their supervisor or employer if they’re feeling heat stress symp toms - work at a pace that does not produce heat stress symptoms Susceptibility to heat-related injury or illness varies from person to person. Factors such as age, medical conditions, general health and fitness level and whether a worker is acclimatized to heat can make people more or less susceptible to feeling extreme heat.

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Vermilion River Naturalist Society shared what people can do with material that is considered waste, and several ways to improve soil health during a composting session on August 11.

“It’s very satisfying to be self-contained,” said Chris Olsen. “I think sometimes people just don’t know how easy it is.”

During a tour of his own yard, Olsen shared how he had developed his property with compost into an English country garden style, continuing to enrich the soil as he goes. He said it never needs weeding and very little watering. Coffee filters, rhubarb leaves, grass clippings, corn husks, egg shells, nut shells, and a monster zucchini will all soon be added to his compost, and he said cherry pits would build soil texture.

“It’s about keeping the carbon on the property. There’s virtually nothing that comes out of my kitchen and garden waste that doesn’t compost, creating very rich soil additives,” said Olsen.

Even though other people’s yard waste is composted eventually, it still travels; but with his composting system, all of the carbon generated in his yard stays there and gets put back into the system.

As admirable as the town’s green program is, he said there are still fees to truck the waste to Vegreville, and there is a hidden carbon cost because the truck isn’t driving for nothing. He said they typically run large machinery rotating the waste allowing aeration and moisture to degrade it into soil additive. It is then bagged and people drive further still to stores to pick it up and put it back in their yard again.

“There is a $2.90 tipping fee each time it’s loaded into the truck. As much as we like to take responsibility and point at large industry, if we take out all of the individual contributors, the environment and our

Learning To Compost

carbon budget is so much improved,” said Olsen. “Composting helps you consume wisely, it helps you see what can be up-cycled or recycled. It’s an appeal - it’s a way of life - it’s taking charge.”

Olsen is a biologist and built his first compost bin out of hockey sticks in 1980.

Even as a student, he saw the value in not throwing all of the compostable items away and not having to buy soil that had to be to be trucked in. He said a person can build a single compost bin from two old pallets cut in half and placed in a square one metre by one metre, and simply move it side to side as it needs aeration. For those who have tried it and given up due to an odour, he said if that happens, it just needs air; it has to be moist so stirring it around can eliminate that.

Olsen’s current three-stage compost bin is approximately 12 feet long, four feet wide and four feet high. Wire mesh along the back allows air to flow in, while removable boards along the front help reduce animals getting at it. A lid helps keep the moisture and warmth in. It’s a continuous process moving the compost from bin to bin adding grass and moisture.

With his compost, Olsen tries to create a healthy carbon/nitrogen balance.

Micro-organisms need nitrogen to create protein and need carbon which provides energy, but they also need moisture and oxygen. Anything green Olsen said is nitrogen rich, where as dry, dead leaves in the fall are carbon rich.

“The green bin has never been used here. I’d like to think in the future people would begin to use and live within their ecological means,” said Olsen.

Cattle rancher, Ralph Davies, brought photos of straw and cattle manure from his corrals and a sample of the soil additive that had been previously composted. Having an organic yard with no use of

pesticides, Ralph said they’ve always put the manure on the land in poor soil areas.

They used to use it more when they grain farmed and he said he has to stay at it to keep it from getting covered in weeds, but he seemed happy to do so because of how useful it is.

“It has to be rototilled to compost; but it turns out very nice,” said Ralph.

Iris Davis began a worm farm this year that produces Vermicompost (what’s left over). She adds cardboard and egg cartons as well as weeds from garden, lets it marinate to get the heat out and is sunk right into her garden. Then she throws the worms in. Iris uses the worm castings (which hold moisture well) for her tomato planters.

“Vermicomposting was just such a natural thing. With packaged soil we had

no idea how it was produced or where it came from,” said Iris.

Some people start for health reasons to keep everything as organic as possible, and they said Vermicomposting can happen in the kitchen closet, some are kept in towers, and they even saw one that looks like a patio end table. Some people overwinter their worms in the garage.

“While the worm farm can be as small as an ice cream pail, it’s better if it is eight inches high to allow three to four inches of material to start, adding food and bedding as you go. An optimum worm farm can have 1,000 adult worms in one square foot of surface area; it would really put out casting,” said Iris.

They encouraged those looking for more information to look online as there are abundant resources available.

KELLY JACOBSON A tribute of our love and remembrance to Kelly who was taken from us on August 16, 1992.

We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain; To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.

Remembering you is easy, we do it every day; But missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

So sadly missed and forever loved.

LLOYD SPCA EMMA

Hi there!

Meet Emma she is a sweet little cat who has been in our care for 100+ days!

Hi! My name is Emma. I'm a 1-year-old domestic shorthair. I have been spayed, de-wormed, micro-chipped, and I have received my first set of vaccinations. I will still require a rabies vaccine after I am adopted.

I am a very sweet girl who when I first came to the shelter I was quite feral and scared but thankfully since then I've learned that most humans want to give me love and do not want to hurt me! I love getting pets and cuddles, I'll jump right onto your lap! I love getting pets so much that sometimes I'll nip! I do not nip hard it's just a little love bite! I would do well in a home with a playful cat because I love to play and wrestle with my kennel mates. I have not been tested with dogs but I don't seem to mind the ones who walk by in the shelter so I'm sure I could get used to one! I would also do well with older kids.

If you would like to meet me then be sure to call the shelter and make an appointment to come in! www.lloydminsterspca.com

Strathcona Vintage Tractor Pulls And Show

Reporter

The Strathcona Vintage Tractor Association (SVTA) is a non-profit organization that was formed in 2005 to provide a club for residents in and around Strathcona Country interested in the preservation of Alberta’s agricultural history.

The Strathcona Vintage Tractor Association is pleased to announce that they will be holding their 17th Annual Vintage Tractor Pull and Show this year after having to cancel the event in 2020 due to COVID, they did have their event last year in 2021.

“We started 17 years ago out of the Sherwood Park / Ardrossan area and we stick to antique tractors that are 1960 and older, so when we go into pulling competitions 1960 is the newest tractors that can enter into the regular competition. That would mean everything including the 2- cylinder John Deere tractors, the 4-cylinders that John Deere called the ’’new generation’. became 4 and 6 cylinders so they are too new to be involved in our competition,” explained Bob Beveridge, vice president of the SVTA. According to Beveridge, the annual event has been extremely popular in the past with years boasting more than 2000 attendees and up to 127 tractors participating throughout the 2-day event.

“For our pull event, we have had up to 127 tractors enter our competition in 2021, and this year we are anticipating at least 125 tractors. We have drawn competitors from as far as southern Alberta, Lashburn, Sask, Grand Prairie, Dawson Creek, BC as well as other locations. We are known as the premier western Canadian Tractor Pull event,” stated Beveridge.

Beveridge also commented that they have the safest record of competition in Alberta and that they are quite strict with their rules.

He also mentioned that they have electronic weigh scales within 100 meters of their track and they are certified and that there will be

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

10 different weight classes.

“Each of the tractors competes based on their weight, so let’s say you have a 2500lb tractor that would be a class where there are six to eight tractors in that class. If you have an 8000lb tractor that weight class might have 14 to 15 tractors and if you have big tractors there could be eight to 10 in that class, so everybody competes within their weight class right up to 14,000lb tractors,” explained Beveridge. The pull sled was built

by SVTA members and features an electronic read-out.

The 2-day event not only showcases vintage tractors but also provides attendees the opportunity to enter a 50/50 draw each day and participate in the silent auction.

Visitors can see threshing demonstrations, sawmill demonstrations, antique car/trucks, antique equipment displays and demonstrations, plus peruse the garage sale and trade show. Children can enjoy the children’s activity area which includes a bouncy castle,

huge sand pile with toys, face painting, horse wagon rides, and train wagon rides - all kid’s activities are free, and everyone in the family can enjoy delicious eats at the five food vendors. There are three huge tents and grandstand seats set up, but everyone is encouraged to bring a lawn chair with them as the grandstands and plastic chairs provided are often filled. Primitive campsites are free with your daily admission, so bring your motor home or trailer. Since we are on Strathcona County-owned property, no dogs are allowed on site. Many SVTA volunteers are always there to help you – ask the safety vests!

The event will be held at the Bremner Historic Mansion farm site located just east of Sherwood Park, at 53452 Range Road 225, just four kilometers north of Highway 16 on RR 225 (watch for well-marked signs) from August 27 to 28 and the tractor pull will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on

Sunday with a $5 cash admission rate per day, and children 14 and under enter for free.

For more information, you can contact Sten at 780-498-1146 or Mike at 780-467-6973.

Guest Tractors are welcome (a $35 fee includes a 1-year SVTA membership and $1 million liability insurance for any tractor competition in the province of Alberta.)

“Come see your favorite tractor from yesteryear. You might see Allis-Chalmers, Bukh[ only 2 Danish built in Canada ], J.I. Case, Cockshutt, Co-op, International Harvester, Farmall, McCormick-Deering, Massey Harris, Ford, Ferguson, Oliver, Lanz Bulldog, Massey-Ferguson, Field Marshal, Hart - Parr, Porche, Fordson Major, Minneapolis Moline, Twin City, Advance – Rumely John Deere, and maybe more,” said Beveridge. “Come enjoy your day with us, and you may want to join our communityoriented club – all walks of life – and you don’t need to own old iron to belong!”

Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club Achievement Day Show And Sale

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The Vermilion 4-H Sheep Club held its 47th Annual Achievement Day and Sale on July 26. The members were ecstatic to be able to have a live show and share their hard

work with the public.

Throughout the year, members learned how to communicate with each other in different ways, and completed workshops in-person on grooming, nutrition, parasite management, pathology, etc.

A few days before the show the members are busy washing, grooming, and working with their project animals. This preparation helps the member and their project animal practice the skills they need to be successful and have fun, and it also helps them be more prepared to listen to the directions the ringmaster and judge will ask them, and make it a little less stressful for the members and the animals.

The day provided club members the opportunity to show their market lambs and goats at 2 p.m. at the Vermilion Ag Society Sheep Barn. Final market lamb and goat show classes were held at 6 p.m. and the sale followed at 7 p.m. at the same location.

Achievement Day provides a good opportunity for anyone that is considering joining the Club to go and see what is involved, have the chance to lead a sheep around the ring, and ask questions they may have.

4-H isn’t just for those that have a farm or raise sheep, it is also for those that would like to learn more about them and different skills as well as meet new people.

Here are the results from the day.

116th Vermilion Parade

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

On July 28 the 116th Vermilion Parade entrants were eager to get started as they waited for judges to view all the entries under sunny skies and blazing temperatures.

Once the prize placing was presented to each winner, the parade began on schedule at 11 a.m.

The parade route was jam-packed with attendees of all ages eagerly awaiting the arrival of floats, bands, decorated cars, antiques, horse-drawn wagons, and much more. The theme for the parade was Mooving Forward so many cow-themed floats were seen.

The 116th Vermilion Parade was a huge success and Parade Co-Chairman Russ Cameron said they don’t have registrations so they never know how many are going to show up.

Children waved to grab the attention of parade participants as they handed out various goodies and treats as they passed by.

Most parade-goers said the parade was awesome as always, while the main complaint to be heard by many was that the parade was too quiet, that it needed more volume as the music draws your attention

in the direction of the float before you even see them.

This year Russ Cameron handed the Chairman torch to Heather MacMillan who has been highly involved in helping organize the parade in the past few years.

“Heather does a wonderful job with the parade and I have been doing it for many years so this year the position of Chairperson was passed to Heather and she absolutely deserves the recognition for all the work she puts into it,” said Cameron.

Cameron added that he and Nelson Rowe will be the Co-chairs for the upcoming parades.

The first-place winner in the commercial category was Quarter Cuts Meat. See the results below for each category.

Commercial: 1st Quarter Cuts, 2nd LMG, 3rd ATB. Out of Town: 1st Ram River, 2nd Shriners, 3rd Town of Wainwright. Junior Organization: 1st Vermilion Vipers, 2nd Vermilion Roar, 3rd Bible Camp. Senior Organization: 1st Lions, 2nd Heritage Museum, 3rd Vermilion & District Housing Foundation. Comic: 1st Scotia Bank.
