Angela Mouly Reporter Approximately six months ago, the Town of Vermilion welcomed new Director of Infrastructure, Ben McPhee. Originally from Brooks, McPhee worked in Olds before coming to “TheVermilion.sense of community in munic ipalities 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. He has his C.E.T in Civil Engi 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“Withdevelopment.themIcompleted new devel opment and subdivision projects, rural and regional water lines, and municipal reconstruction projects. From consult ing I then took on a roll for the Town of Olds that looked after their major infrastructure projects and infrastruc ture 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 plan ning 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; mean ing 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 infra structure. Budget dollars are scarce, and the infrastructure needs are large, and this is a problem that every munic ipality 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 partner ships which helps keep things interest ing and moving forward. Finding these solutions and providing more value for the funding available is what makes it all Sinceworthwhile.”February McPhee’s favou rite part 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 every thing as I learn Town events, seasonal work, detailed infrastructure knowl edge 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 work ing with such a great group of people,” explained McPhee.

Town Welcomes New Director Of Infrastructure

Braxton Hoare Columnist The technologi cal singularity is a radical idea that someday in the not so distant future 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 theAcentury.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 superi ority in virtually anything it does. Due to the fact that computers can simulate begin to rapidly create life changing technologies.Oncethis general purpose AI has been completed it will take less than a decade for life to go from our current status quo to suddenly being trans formed into something out of a science fiction novel. And it will not be a linear progression, this will happen so fast that no-one will have time to adjust to this new world until it’s already here. 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 under stand, 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. To some this may sound like a beauti ful idea and to others it could sound like a prison. No matter how you think of it same question, what is my purpose? Considering jobs will be completely irrel evant in this robot / AI dominated world even scientists will need to find a new sense of fulfillment. Maybe creating art and spending more time with family will be the only way people spend their time. Of course this whole scenario only works if the people creating this super AI embed it with a strong set of moral prin ciples in which to base its actions upon. This is one of the most crucial steps in the whole process of building a general purpose AI. If this step is missed it can quite easily result in a terminator type scenario.

Bread Pudding Dawn Hames Columnist 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 same goes for stale bread. After a family gathering, I ended up with left over hamburger buns, and a few days later they were a little dry. Bread and buns that are less than fresh can be froze for turkey stuffing, or it can also be turned into a yummy bread pudding. Bread pudding is a classic.This history 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. Farm pantries without dairy cows are often stocked with canned evaporated milk, and 1 can of evaporated milk, with a bit of additional water to make the 2 cups work just fine. You can also use packed brown sugar instead of white sugar. Bread Pudding 2 cups milk or light cream 3 1/2eggscup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon allspice (optional) 5 cups bread pieces 1/2 cup raisins 2 tablespoons melted butter Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl mix together the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and spices. In a buttered 3-quart casserole dish, add the bread, raisins and pour the melted butter over top, and stir to mix. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the bread, and stir lightly to be sure all bread is covered. Bake for 40 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or cold with whipped cream or caramel sauce. Photo

When Paratroopers Attacked Vermilion

The paratroopers were commanded by Major C.E. Goodman, and the paratroopers were dropped from a C-119 aircraft from the RCAF Station Namao.Inthe battle, there were no casual ties and no one was injured because, obviously, they were using blank ammunition.Thiswasall a training drill regard ing 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 poten tial 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 ful invasion of the paratroopers who overwhelmed the defenders based on the simple fact they outnumbered them almost three-to-one. 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.

The area of Vermilion has not been known as a location where there has been much mili tary 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 Octo ber day when paratroopers suddenly appeared in the sky ready to attack the industry potential of Vermilion. This wasn’t during the Second World War though, but two decades later in 1964. On Oct. 19, 1964, paratroopers suddenly appeared in the sky over Vermilion and began to descend onto the community. The assault was made by 100 members of Edmonton’s A Company, Second Battalion of the legendary Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry.Theonly thing standing in the way of these paratroopers and their goal to capture the powerplant, a small dam and the municipal airport were 35 members of A Company from the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, who formed up the defensive around the airport.

Helen Row Toews Columnist What’s sense got to do with it? “I like collecting sticks,” the little boy responded after turn ing 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 play ground. 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. 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, theOncattleman.)ourlatest 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. Refreshments, consisting of a thermos of coffee and a roughly made peanut butter and honey sandwich, jangled in my metal bikeLaughing,basket. 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 feetFromapart.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. “I still think we shoulda ridden our bikes home,” Bill grumbled from a nearby hill as we paused to pant. “And what about Dad’s lunch?”Itwas 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. It was more of a statement than a ques tion, and of course, it’s true, but when you’re young, what’s sense got to do with it?

Submitted Over 1,900 dream prizes worth $3.6M available to be won in support of cancer patientsCALGARY, 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 contribu tions to cancer research and detection. For over two 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. “Before the cancer diagnosis,” 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 dead line 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.

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, Alberta Cancer Foundation. “It’s because Albertans across the province look forward to lend ing 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.”

Submitted August...We are coming to the end of summer, which seems to have sped by. Although we would like to wait a little longer for school to return and fall, the apple trees along railway avenue are telling us otherwise. The apples are free for the picking. Just bring a bag or bucket, and if you have kids, it can be a fun outing for everyone. We have had a very busy year, but have been fortunate to be able to continue our service through the generosity of our community. The Prairie Bakery and Bistro are new to Vermilion, and immediately on open ing, began donating bread, buns, and soups, and other baking to us for distribution. It allows us to offer clients more of this staple item than we have been able to in the past. The Bargain Store has pitched in with food drives which have been amazingly supported by the community. It has been extra work for the staff, but they truly seem happy to do their part. Shop per Drug Mart has also supported us from our beginning by keeping a dropoff basket for Hearts and Hands and very recently provided us with a new opportunity. Many other businesses and organiza tions have also made donations in many different ways. I was recently asked how we finance our non-profit charity. The exam ples I have given are the answer. We operate through donations of food, personal hygiene products, baby needs, cleaning items, coats, and other winter items, and cash donations for the purchase of fresh fruit, vege tables, meat, and occasionally other needs. Although cash is useful and necessary, other donations are essen tial. We spend very little on advertis ing and promotion. We have space donated for our winter coat giveaway, coat racks, tables, and volunteers who pack or deliver orders. Less than 5% on average is spent on advertising, promotion and administration, and we comply with the government guide lines for a non-profit unregistered charity. New changes are happening to our service. However we can serve Vermilion and the surrounding school and shopping area ONLY. Our number is 780-581-0521.[no text or e-mail] Thank you, everyone

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.”

11The Vermilion Voice | August 16, 2022 LOCAL NEWS

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 mois ture.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 addi tive that had been previously compos ted. 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“Vermicompostingplanters.

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 possi ble, 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.

During a tour of his own yard, Olsen shared how he had developed his prop erty with compost into an English coun try 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 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.

TAURUS Try to slow down, and take another look. A lack of support and negativity have been the main problems. Find ways to make extra cash. Start making things or reusing rather than buying ready made. SCORPIO Be sure to cover all the necessary groundwork before signing binding contracts. You may find it difficult to discuss personal matters with family members. GEMINI Mingle with those who have similar interests, and you should be able to start something. Keep an open mind when listening to the opinions of others. Realize that you don't have to do everything yourself.

Hi Meetthere!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!

Strathcona Vintage Tractor Pulls And Show

17The Vermilion Voice | August 16, 2022

The Strathcona Vintage Tractor Associa tion (SVTA) is a non-profit organization that was formed in 2005 to provide a club for residents in and around Strathcona Coun try interested in the preservation of Alberta’s agricultural history. The Strathcona Vintage Tractor Associa tion 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 Sher wood 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 through out 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 trac tors. 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 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 elec tronicTheread-out.2-dayevent 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 demon strations, 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 volun teers are always there to help you – ask the safetyThevests!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.

The members were ecstatic to be able to have a live show and share their hard work with the Throughoutpublic.theyear, 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 success ful 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 oppor tunity 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.
