Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The CPCA Chuckwagon finals which were sponsored by the New Lloydminster Nissan had spectators on the edge of their seat from August 17- 21 as the fastest drivers and horses thundered around the track each night.

T i c ke t s we r e ava i l a b l e fo r p r e purchase or could be purchased at the gate for $20 per night for anyone over the age of 12, with 12 and under being admitted for free, making it a very affordable family event.

Each nightly event had a theme with

the first night themed Wild West Night, the second was Family Fun Night which had face painting and a bouncy slide, and more! The third night was Pink Night which was in support of breast cancer research. A special pink drink was offered and a portion of the gate admission for people wearing pink was donated. Each night pony rides were available for $15.

On Saturday there was a pancake breakfast held at the New Lloydminster Nissan in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Sunday there was a pancake breakfast at the Lloyd Ex Grounds that provided attendees the opportunity to

chat with some of the drivers and outfitters on both occasions.

Driver Calvin Fiddler commented on the events so far during one of the pancake breakfast.

“It’s been going alright so far. I wish I had a little better show from myself, but all of that aside, the Lloyd Finals is a big show. It’s one of the bigger ones for the year and it’s nice to come out for the events like the pancake breakfast and interact with the fans,” commented Fiddler.

Saturday evening attendees could attend the Chuckwagon Cabaret which Bacon Bacon Deluxe Deluxe

In night one of the five-day event Preston Faithful set the pace with a time of 1:14:45. Night 2 of the New Lloydminster Nissan CPCA Finals is in the books and Jamie Laboucane took the fastest time of the night with a 1:13:20. Night 3 was not quite as fast as night two, but was still pretty impressive with Jamie Labucane taking the fast time again with 1:13:69. Night 4 certainly didn’t disappoint with Logan Gorst coming out on top with a time of 1:14:27. (Continued on Page 2).

Continued from page 1 During the presentations on Sunday the Fans Choice Driver was presented to Jamie Labucane, and the Fans Choice Outrider was presented to Tyler McKenzie who also took the Safe Outrider, while Todd Baptiste received the Safe Driver award which consisted of gift cards from Northern Factory Workwear.

The Fastest Time of the week with a total time of 4 minutes, 58 seconds, point 18 went to Jamie Labucane, his fastest time for the week was 1:13:20 which he did on Day 2.

“I’ve had a really good week, the horses have been running great all year and feel-

ing good,” commented Labucane.

Jamie Labucane was on fire this week and also won the Aggregate Champion Driver, while Tyler McKenzie won the Aggregate Outrider and Kale Lajeunesse took the 2nd Aggregate Outrider.

General Manager, Jeremy Wagner for the New Lloydminster Nissan presented the Year-end High Point Driver to yet again Jamie Labucane who walked away with the keys to a brand new Nissan Pathfinder.

The Dash For Cash was a close race with Todd Baptiste (sponsor B.O.R.E Oilfield- Harry Martin) coming out on top as the 2022 Champion along with Outriders Tiegan Larouche and Quaid Touirnier.

Baptiste expressed his appreciation to everyone involved including the fans in his acceptance speech.

“I’d like to thank all the fans for coming out and supporting the CPCA and the wagon season for all of us here. I speak

for all of us drivers, to the sponsors, uh definitely a big shout out to them. Harry Martin has been a hell of a sponsor for me for the last 8 or 9 years. I believe he wants to drive but we’ll see about that next year. To the outriders, Tiegan was in the championship in 19, Quaid came on board, he was suffering an injury, but a big shout out to these guys, to my crew, all these guys are the unsung heros that help us each and every night taking care of these animals day in and day out, and we couldn’t do it without them and I am absolutely more than happy with our horses. Thank you,” commented Baptiste.

Area industry and business dignitaries were enamoured once again as they attended Lakeland College’s 5th Feast on the Farm in Vermilion on August 18.

Since 2016, the event has raised nearly $100,000 in support of various student-led leadership initiatives.

“Students identify a need, design a plan to meet that need, and are funded accordingly. This way, our students are given hands-on, real world experience in problem solving, working within a budget and team work in ways that will benefit them when they enter the workforce,” said Stacey Ruller, Lakeland College’s Manager of Donor Relations.

‘Feast On The Farm’

Examples of past projects include b u i l d i n g a n at u r a l p l ay - s c a p e f o r community children, designing and renovating the interior design cutting room, hosting Finding the U in Business, and purchasing vehicle extrication equipment for hands-on training at the Emergency Training Centre.

This year was no easy task as they set out to raise $50,000.

Students, Walker Balan and Wylee Squair, both graduated with agribusiness diplomas before enrolling in the bachelor of agricultural technology in 2021, and were selected as speakers for the event. They are now in their second year, completing their practicums for the research team. Specifically, Ruller said they are working on

projects geared towards using technology to remotely monitor and work with Lakeland’s bison herd to limit physical contact, which can impact bison efficiency (This includes infrared cameras, drones, and walk- on weigh scales).

Aside from training potential employees, Ruller said the college contributes to the region with their research team who works to provide real solutions to real challenges in the industry, as well as providing ongoing education through micro-credentials, etc.

“Lakeland contributes $130.6 million to the economy each year through alumni contributions, college operations and student spending, supporting rural sustainability and economic growth,” said Ruller.

“Building up our communities is as

It ensures our stud ents graduate as c apable thinkers and doers, ready to make an impact on the world. Our students become the professionals we work alongside every day. Thank you to all who suppor ted this year’s Feast on the Farm,” said Dr. Alice WainwrightStewart, Lakeland College President and CEO. Attendees enjoyed an extravagant meal followed by a performance from country music artist, Drew Gregory.

Ruller said Lakeland College would like to thank all of their sponsors for making the event possible, as well as the nearly 300 people who attended and made the event such a success.

For various reasons processed carbs, such as flour, junk fats and white s u g ar ar e c u l p r i t s in derailing health.

That ’s where a healthier version of dessert comes in.

Here is a dessert that reduces insulin swings. The sweetness comes from monk fruit sweetener, which unlike sugar, has almost zero calories. The crust is made of very low-carb almond flour and cocoa powder pressed into a pie shell, that will be filled with creamy goodness.

M onk fruit has historic ally been used for medicinal purposes going way back to the 13th century. It is a naturally sweet gourd that contains mogrosides that are sweet. This sugar is beneficial for those suffering with diabetes, as it does not cause the highs and lows in blood sugar, as other sugars do, and it helps improve insulin secretion. Mogrosides are antioxi-

dants that help lower inflammation in the body, thereby reducing cancer risk.

The sugar in Monk Fruit feeds healthy gut bacteria, fights unhealthy microorganisms in the gut, and reduces the severity of seasonal allergies.

Eating dark chocolate and cocoa powder has many health benefits, so go ahead and enjoy some every day.

Studies have shown dark chocolate to be heart-healthy by reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Chocolate consumption helps to raise good cholesterol and reduce bad cholesterol. A compound in chocolate called anandamide delivers feel-good bliss, reducing depression, while also stimulating areas of the brain responsible for memory, a positive mood, and higher thought processes. Scientists at Har vard Medical School recommend drinking 2 cups of cocoa a day to help preserve memory and keep the brain healthy. Flavonoid compounds in chocolate aid in the delivery of more cerebral blood to the grey matter in the brain. Norman Hollenburg, a professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School,

and researcher, has discovered that the Kuna people of Panama, who drink 35 - 40 cups of cocoa a week, (yes that is a lot of cocoa) have less than 10 percent incidence of stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. He believes this is because of the epicatechin, which is the bitter component that naturally occurs in cocoa. Epicatechin also helps prevent clotting and inflammation in our bodies.

Cream contains both calcium and phosphorus. Phosphorus helps the body make use of calcium, plus it helps with healthy: red blood cells, and to protect the brain from diseases like Alzheimer’s. Cream also contains vitamin A for eye health and other fat-soluble vitamins such as D, E, and K which need fat to be properly absorbed. Who knew eating dessert could be healthy and delicious?

Yet Danielle Smith the leading UCP candidate has stated publicly that “ Cancer is within your control until stage 4.” Does she really believe this about young children who have

been diagnosed with or are fighting cancer?

Ms. Smith is also advocating for the privatization of health care, stating that user fees and implementing co-payment systems will help to reduce the financial burden on the province.

Anyone who is in intensive care or on dialysis would soon be broke. She has cited and promoted the health benefits of smoking cigarettes, as well as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (both of which were proven ineffective) for

treatment of Covid. With a clear lack of regard for science, facts and the medical establishment, Smith’s views and perspectives are troubling to say the least.

On matters of education, such an important pillar of our society, Smith advocates for user fees and has stated openly, “if parents aren’t willing to pay out of pocket to support the education of their own children, why should I?’’ In 2012 she advocated that E coli contaminated meat could be fed to the

Unfortunately, not unlike Donald Trump just a few years ago, she is speaking to a broad base of suppor ters in this province and gaining momentum. Her thoughts, views and beliefs are dangerous and should be frightening to all Albertans.

I think we can, and we must, do better than this Alberta.

The c ommunit y of Breage was short and sweet. It came and it went, relatively quickly in the grand scheme of things. Nonetheless, it existed and for a time it was home to various people. So, this week we are going to dive into the community as it was, during the brief year or so of its life, in 1905.

The Breage post office was opened on April 1, 1905 with Matt Brimacombe serving as the postmaster out of Ross’s Store. The store did very well thanks to its location. According to Syd Giles, the store was the nearest one without going to Lloydminster.

Up until Sept. 1, Breage was in Saskatchewan, North West Territories.

That changed on that day when the

community found itself in Alberta.

Dealing with the first ever mail from the area was not an easy task. It was a postcard but with no postal supplies, there was no stamps. John Brimacombe had to draw a circle with a pen and ink and cancel the stamp with a signature.

By late April, the community had its own doctor with Dr. Burris, who came from Edmonton on his way to Battleford.

He liked what he saw in the area and decided to stay put and set up his practice.

Several tidbits of information about Breage came out of the Lloydminster Times. In the May 16 issue, it was stated that Mr. Brimacombe and Mr. Ross bought a business and Alex Miller had taken up the management while Brimacombe served as a clerk. That same issue, it was announced that a Presbyterian church had been formed with a Mr. Harley serving as pastor.

In the May 30 issue of the newspaper, there was even more news from Breage including: William Ross had travelled to visit the Grand Truck Pacific Survey.

Mr. Radditz started up a tent blacksmith shop.

A June 15 concert was going to be held through the Presbyterian church.

The building of a school was proposed in the district.

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

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

Owner would be glad if coat would be

returned to the post office in Breage.”

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

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

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

Letter To The Editor

Submitted Dear Editor, It seems like the fad of using your black and/or green garbage bins as yard or street ornaments is back again.

They were once pretty popular as yard decorations until somebody realized they were full of GARBAGE! So the fad died out for a while. But it’s back now in full force.

So, just as a reminder, those bins are full of GARBAGE! They won’t help us win a prize in the Communities In Bloom competition.

Here’s a helpful tip: I have found it greatly enhances the overall look of a neighbourhood If you pull your GARBAGE bins back off the street shortly after they have

been emptied.

Just a thought.

Try it. You might like it. It works for me.

Library Artist Of The Month – Kerri Arthur

T h e Ve r m i l i o n P u b l i c L i b r a r y welcomed Kerri Arthur as their new Artist of the Month on August 15. Her collection will continue to be on display through the month of September.

Having grown up near Vermilion, Ar thur took a class in 2004 from Sandra Miller and said she’s been h o o ke d ever s i n c e. S h e i s k n ow n for her oil portraits but is branching out trying acrylics, watercolour, and sculpting.

“I was just so thrilled that I could actually paint. I drew a bit in school but never thought I was very good,” said Arthur. “First of all, if you are a

young artist starting out, you should do it for yourself; for a while I got thinking I should do things other people liked. It could be drawing or scribbling – but do what you like to do; my best work is what I like to do.

And tr y ever y thing; you don’t know what your specialty is. You may get a lot of criticism, but nobody starts out really good. Keep going because you love it.”

Perhaps in year s past and even now, she said people in the city may have more access to extras, and she wishes there were more opportunities for art, but it is getting better. Seeing others from the area come out and paint helped her be willing to put her work out there.

People are all self-conscious, but she said taking classes helps because it reinforces the things you are doing well. She is currently taking a class in Camrose and said when you paint with other people you get into a zone.

Also if you aren’t sure what to d o about something you are working on, she said one of the others may have a suggestion. When you get around art people, they do not have to like the whole painting but can notice something you did right and she said that is a good feeling.

“I don’t know if I’ve found my style yet,” said Arthur. “Oil blends well. I’ve learned there are ways of correcting your mistakes. It takes a week or two to dry so nothing is permanent; you have time to adjust.”

She enjoys spending time painting in her studio lots or even while in Arizona during the winter.

Retired from nursing last year, she said the next step for her is to look into the business end of things more. For a while she said you are really attached, but now the items she has created are piling up. Now she sees the value in letting go and allowing other people to appreciate her work in the same way she enjoys purchasing work from other artists in styles that she is unable to do. She has items at the Upper Level Pottery and Art Gallery for sale and said, “It’s a bit of validation, but it is very hard to put a price on.”

Make Sure All Arrive Safely

Lorna Hamilton Editorial

In a mat ter of days, students in Vermilion and area will be walking, bicycling, bussing and even driving their way back to the classroom. The Vermilion Voice would like to remind everyone that road safety is a shared responsibility. Do your part this back to school season to make sure students and adults get to school and work without a scratch. Here are some great safety tips I have found. As students head back to the classroom, keep these safety tips in mind.

Drivers It’s back to school and school zones are in effect. The speed limit within sc hool zones is 3 0 km / hr. Driver s should familiarize themselves with the specific times during the school day when the school zones in their area are in effect.

Drivers should remember to slow down in school zones and be particularly alert for students during school

hours, especially when dropping off and picking up children from school.

When a school bus activates its alternately flashing red lights, it is signaling that it is going to stop. Drivers must stop too. It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus as long as its red lights remain activated.

Drivers should watch for students at crosswalks and obey the signals of crossing guards and traffic control devices.

Driver distraction is a major factor in all collisions. Put away electronic devices, beverages and food while driving. Avoid distracted driving and focus on the road and traffic.

Be on the lookout for children and students walking to school as you pull out or back out of your garage and driveway.

Students If waiting for a school bus, stand in an area which is safe, well-lit and away from the road.

If walking to school, walk on the

side walk and cross roads and streets at marked crosswalks and controlled intersections.

If there are not any sidewalks, walk on the left-hand side of the road, facing oncoming traffic and staying as far away from traffic as possible.

Stay alert when crossing the street and watch for traffic, even if you have the right of way.

In the dim early morning hours or on dark evenings, wear brightly-coloured clothing, a reflective arm band or clothing with reflective strips which will help you to be seen by motorists.

If riding a skateboard, scooter or roller-blading to school, ensure that you are wearing your safety gear. In Alber ta, youth under the age of 18 years, must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle at all times.

Don’t be a distracted pedestrian.

Listening to loud music on headphones or texting on a smartphone while walking may make you less aware of the traffic dangers around you.

Drive Safe, Stay Alert

Cars Can Be Replaced, Children Can’t!

Parents Show your child a safe route by which to walk to and from school. Make sure they know how to use safely a crosswalk and obey all traffic control devices and crossing guards.

Discourage your child from taking s h o r tc u t s t h r o u g h p ar k i n g l ot s o r jaywalking to and from school.

If waiting for a school bus, ensure your child is aware of the traffic hazards which may be present near the bus stop. Show them a safe place where they may wait to catch the bus.

Instruct your child never to run after a school bus in an effort to catch it as neither the bus driver nor other motorists may see them on the road.

A s a p e d e s tr i an, d o n ot a lways assume that you have the right of way.

If you decide to meet your child at the bus stop after school, wait at the bus stop itself: not across the street from it.

Children may forget traffic safety rules in their excitement to see you after their school day and dash across the street.

When Are Children Old Enough To Walk Home From School Alone?

Submitted According to psychologists, children as young as nine years old can walk home alone from school. As long as they have the cognitive ability needed to cross the street safely and there’s a responsible adult waiting at home, entrusting kids to commute on their own will have positive results.

As a parent, however, it’s up to you to determine whether your children have the maturity needed to make the commute without adult supervision.

Start by talking to them. Do they seem excited by the prospect? If they appear worried or reticent, they may not be ready.

Things to consider Eve n i f yo u r k i d s s e e m m at u r e enough, there are some things to think about before sending them out on their own.

Are there laws in your area that dictate when children can commute to school on their own?

How close is the school?

Are there busy or dangerous streets on the way?

Are your kids familiar with pedestrian safety rules? Do they respect these rules when they walk with you?

Are there crossing guards in the area?

If the school is very close to your

home, you’ll likely feel more comfortable letting them walk on their own. You can also talk to other parents who live nearby to see if their kids and yours can make the trip together.

Take it slow When first letting your children walk to school on their own, it’s a good idea to start with a trial period. For example, your kids could begin by coming home alone one day a week. Ask them how it went.

If they like it, you can add another day each week.

The Alberta Home Visitation Network Association will use $1.5 million in federal funding for in-person and virtual workshops to provide opportunities to early childhood educators working in licenced child-care centres to enhance their knowledge of the social and emotional needs of children up to 12 years old.

The workshops will include an introduction to infant and early childhood mental health that focuses on the importance of understanding behaviours and cultural self-awareness. Training for educators working with children aged 6 to 12 will also include mental health first aid for helping kids in crisis, and youth mental health supports.

“In order to better support children and families across Alberta we must continue to support a well-educated and highly skilled child-care workforce. This training will help early childhood educators better understand and support the children in their care to set kids up for future success,” Matt Jones, Minister of Children’s Services.

“Early childhood educators are the heart of the early learning and child care system. By providing the workforce with the training and support they need, we are also helping to ensure children in Alberta

get the best possible start in life. I look forward to continuing to work with the Government of Alberta to support families across the province,” Karina Gould, federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development.

“Alberta’s government is building a comprehensive recovery-oriented system of care for mental health and addiction.

Prevention is a key part of this system.

This funding will help early childhood educators promote positive mental health and thus prevent more serious negative outcomes for many kids,” Mike Ellis, Associate Minister of Mental Health and Addiction “The Alberta Home Visitation Network Association is excited about the opportunity to equip early childhood educators with new skills and knowledge about early mental health so they can teach children how to manage their stress and emotions and form positive relationships with others,” Lavonne Roloff, provincial director, Alberta Home Visitation Network Association “Healthy social and emotional skills are important building blocks for young children’s long-term mental health and well-being, and having educators that are skilled in supporting this development benefits children, families and the communit,” Adine Shuchuk, executive director, Jasper Place Child and Family Resource Society.

“We are beyond thrilled to be facilitat-

ing such timely and important training and coaching to early childhood educators.

Mental health concerns in children and youth are on the rise, and the training will expand educators’ current knowledge of child development. Our hope is that as we connect with educators, we will collectively increase the mental well-being of Alberta’s children and youth, so they will thrive as they grow,” Aia Hughes and Carly Villeneuve, project coordinators, Alberta Home Visitation Network Association The $1.5-million funding is provided through the one-time investment of $56 million in 2021-22 to support the early childhood workforce under the AlbertaCanada Early Learning and Child Care Agreement. The early childhood workforce funding complements and supports the Canada-wide early learning and childcare vision.

Quick facts The governments of Alber ta and Canada are also providing $5.2 million to help more than 3,350 early childhood educators sharpen their skills through free early childhood brain science and development training.

Alberta’s government is taking steps to help children and youth navigate mental health challenges: The Child and Youth Well - being Review examined the impacts of COVID19 on children and youth and provided recommendations to government to help create a cross-government action plan.

Through the made-in-Alberta Child Care Agreement, Alberta’s government has designated $300 million over five years to help child care operators hire more early childhood educators and retain and train the ones already working in the system.

Can You Master The Sunderland Corn Maze?

The 3rd Annual Sunderland Corn Maze is well underway and will remain open through September and October. The maze is free, open to all ages, and the public is encouraged to try out their hand at the clues and trivia found throughout.

Two mazes are set up this year; one a 15 minute to half an hour trek with the same entry and exit; and a second more challenging maze with Edmonton Oilers trivia and a separate exit expected to take 1 – 3 hours. In the hot weather, participants are reminded to bring water.

When guests arrive at the Sunderland Hog Farm just north of Paradise Valley along Highway 897, they will find a checkin area with a blue bin (inside are game sheets visitors can play along with). Scavenger hunt clues will lead participants through each maze. Their furthest travellers so far were a couple from Poland who had been doing a cross Canada trek and saw the corn maze on Google maps.

Even though they weren’t familiar with the Edmonton Oilers, Sunderland said they were still able to solve all of the clues and mazes.

Adding a bit of competition for attend- reasons; it’s an activity you can get a bit no obligations. Children can run and play ees, the Sunderlands have put up an eight of both physical and mental exercise with and feel safe,” said Sunderland. man tent as a grand prize at the end of the year. All attendees are awarded points as well as additional points given for solving maze 1 or maze 2.

“The maze started out during COVID as a safe way for people to get out with no one around and share some time with their family. It’s blossomed from there with a lot of good feedback. We just sort of felt like during these challenging times with inflation, not many activities were affordable anymore, and this is completely free other than gas to get here,” said Caleb Sunderland.

The Sunderlands operate a multigenerational family run farm, and simply ask that participants try not to damage the corn by tramping it down or ripping it out. The corn doubles as feed for their cattle during winter and keeping the corn in good condition keeps the mazes fun for everyone else as well.

He added that getting outdoors and being active is important to boost physical and mental health, and that dogs can even participate if kept on a leash.

“Trying the maze is great for just health

Chatsworth Farm Welcomed Visitors From All Over The Province For AB Open Farm Days

Submitted T he Wa sy lik fam ily — R i c k an d Johanna, Charlot te and her fiancé Rob McClymont, Nick, and Alex — welcomed visitors on Saturday, August 13th to Chatsworth Farm northwest of Vermilion for Alberta Open Farm Days (OFD). It was the farm’s third year par ti c ipating in the provin c e -wid e program which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year; OFD is a partnership of Alberta Agriculture, Travel Alberta, and the Alberta Association of Agricultural Societies which gives Albertans the chance to experience a day on a farm and understand where their food comes from. It is an opportunity to meet the people who grow and raise food in Alberta and taste some local foods directly from the farm.

On Saturday, the family welcomed approximately 250 visitors with families travelling from all over the province to visit the farm which included more local visitors and also more families with young children than in previous years.

Visitors were able to meet the family, plus their guardian livestock dog Lizzie and cattle puppy in training Chief, and go on guided livestock tours where they were able to hold newly-hatched chicks and ducklings. The day also featured tours of the family’s garden, machinery demonstrations (making small square bales and unloading large round bales), and hands-on farm activities including a Ukrainian stone flour mill (“zhorna”) with samples of the family’s heritage Red Fife wheat, learning how to put ear tags in cattle, a rope-making machine for kids, a crop ID station with sheaves and grain (extra thanks to Caribou’s Corn Maze in BC for the

additional crops and forage information), and a New Holland pedal tractor, and machinery displays from Highline Manufacturing, Ireland Farm Equipm e n t , a n d We b b ’s M a c h i n e r y.

T h i s y e a r, t h e f a r m e r s m a r k e t was expanded to include Berr y View Farms (Lloydminster), Bonne Vie Baker y (Edmonton; baker Larr y H arr i s m ay b e familiar to read er s fr o m T h e G r e at Ca n ad i a n B a k i n g S h ow), Ch at swor t h Far m, C o p p er C o r k D i s t i l l e r y, Fa m i l i a B r e w i n g (Pigeon Lake), J6 Baking with Isabelle Jacula (Derwent), Pottery by Dellaney (Mannville), and Wilds Acre Micro greens (Beaumont). To keep ever yone cool, The Scoop Lloydminster and Photos submitted the Icycle Bicycle were on hand serving up ice cream treats. For the first time, the day included a BBQ lunch, featuring Chatsworth Farm’s own all-beef hot dogs, custom made in Edmonton with the farm’s own beef roasts, with Bonne Vie Bakery buns, and farm-made relish, pickled red onions, bread and butter pickles, and quick pickled cabbage.

T h e Wa s y l i k f a m i l y w o u l d l i ke t o thank all of their sponsors and partn e r s w h o m ad e O p e n Far m D ays at Chatswor th Farm possible: 8 40 CFCW, ATB Financial, Alberta Beef Producers, Cornerstone Co-op, Crowd Design Inc., Highline M anufac turing, Ireland Farm Equipment, Klassen Industries, Pentacon Energy Services Inc, the Snelgrove Family, Town of Vermilion, UFA , Vermilion, Vermilion Chamber, Vet Clinic, and Webb’s Machinery.
