On August 30 children in Vermilion were full of smiles and excitement as they entered their respective schools for the 2022-23 school year, and teachers were ecstatic to be there to welcome each student.

Upon welcoming the students back, Vermilion Elementary School (VES) also welcomed their newest and youngest students to the VES family with an

activity that involved rolling, decorating, and searching for and eating the pesky gingerbread men who got loose in their school. Another activity on the first day was Buddy Classes that provided a great opportunity for connection and learning where students worked together through building with Lego and Stacking Cups, each activity ended with, ‘The power of positive thinking activity.’

At St. Jerome’s Sc hool, Grades 9-12 student council members helped

The Marauders football, volleyball and cross country extra-curricular activities are already underway, and they will be hosting an open house as a way of welcoming everyone to the new school year.

Now that the children are back to school remember to obey the school zone speed limits, and stay vigilant in watching for children as they make their way to and from school.

Ladies Night A Hit At The Gun Range

Reporter Angela Mouly

The Vermilion Gun Club hosted a Ladies Night on August 30, with 22 people having the opportunity to try out target shooting and share a meal together afterward.

The evening offered an opportunity for ladies who haven’t used firearms or only have a bit of experience. Treasurer, Dave Moore said, “It allows them to have a fun time and see that guns are inherently a tool; there is nothing to be leery about, but there is a proper way to use them.”

Following a knowledge and safety briefing to take the mystery away, 12 regular members volunteered to help the participants practice shooting steel targets from 25 – 250 yards.

“For me, it’s getting to do a variety of things; you can shoot a handgun with

almost no recoil and change to a heavy rifle. You can get proficient at short range shooting and then try medium or large calibre; and that’s just with target shooting,” said Moore. “Proficiency and practice makes perfect. An afternoon out at the range gives you time to think or relax, just like some people do when they play golf or go for a bicycle ride.”

Participants tried using a .22 revolver, a .22 semi-automatic handgun, a 40 glock semi-automatic and a .357 revolver. They also had the opportunity to try out lever action, bolt action, and a .223 centre fire semi-automatic rifle. Many of them also tried a 410 calibre as well as 20 gauge and 12 gauge shotguns.

“Firearms are like shoes in a closet, with one pair for every occasion,” said vice president, Len Chetter.

One lady inherited her husband’s fire-

arms and came to learn how to safely use them in order to take care of a recurring skunk problem on her property instead of having to repeatedly hire out the work to other people.

Another participant, Heather Rayment said, “It was so fun. I only shot one other time, and some never had. The instructors were really good.”

“On the news, everything is very one sided, but in western farming communities the firearm used for predators is just as much a tool as the tractor,” said Moore.

For families that have a shooter, he recommends that all members should have some training so they are secure in the house with everyone knowing what’s there. For hunters, he said you want to make sure you are accurate at the range.

A person can spend can $300-$400 or up to $4,000 on a firearm; like cars with

fancier models, he said firearms can be more expensive for the same calibre, and that the cost of scopes varies too.

President, Dwayne Gorniak said, “The number one biggest value of the firearms community is community itself. The government labels and stigmatizes us, they try to paint us as a burden to society when really the firearms community is the largest conservationist community.

Unfortunately bad people are going to do bad things with whatever tools they have available. However, when it comes to hunters, everything they do pays towards conservation (by way of fees, etc.). A lot of them have a connection to wildlife and nature itself. Events like this allow people to see the firearms community and culture (in a different light or as it should be); we are all just regular people.”

Francis Neil Carlson

passed away August 27, 2022 in Vermilion, AB at the age of 75 years.

Vic Juba Hosts Jaedyn’s Tribute To Elvis

Reporter

If you are an Elvis enthusiast the Vic Juba Community Theatre will be the place to be on Saturday, September 17 as they host Elvis: The Early Years presented by Jaedyn’s Tributes.

Jaedyn Pilon is an Edmonton born (2002) artist, and began showing a love for music at an early age while watching the children’s TV show, the “Wiggles.” By age six his interest in music had shifted to the Beatles when he performed ‘Twist and Shout’ as John Lennon during his very first stage performance in his grade one talent show. While researching the Beatles over the year’s Jaedyn’s interest in other artists and the music of the 50’s and 60’s was ignited as he discovered

artists such as Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and of course Elvis Presley.

According to his website, Jaedyn caught the Elvis bug after his guest appearance at the 2015 Blue Suede Music Festival held in Busby, Alberta, and in 2016 he, “made history as the youngest competitor to perform in the 15th Annual Penticton Elvis Festival, placing among the top seven finalists. Since then he has competed and won many awards including 1st place in the Lake George Elvis Festival Non-Pro division in 2018.”

It is said that Jaedyn’s love of music, especially of Elvis is evident in his shows as he strives to create an authentic experience for his audience, and his meticulous attention to details are reflected in his

Har vest is in full swing. It has been a ver y hot and dr y harvest. It is important to remain hydrated to prevent dehydration, and even drinking lots of water, still has people suffering with headaches and leg cramps. When out in such heat for prolonged periods of time it is really important to replace the lost electrolytes especially sodium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and calcium.

There are sport drinks to help with this and little packets of an electrolyte powder to pour into water I know out in the country there are not quick and easy access to electrolyte replacement drinks, especially

when you don’t want to stop combining for any reason so you can make a helpful drink with water, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and a generous splash of fruit juice. Natural sources of potassium are bananas, potatoes, tomatoes and dairy. Dairy is a good source of calcium. Natural sources of magnesium are chocolate, bananas, almonds, pumpkin seeds and peanuts. To replace the salt a few shakes of sea salt in your water, and a few salty snacks such as peanuts, pretzels or chips.

It has been too hot to heat up the house cooking big meals to take out to the field, but an recent easy one was a roast of beef, cooked in the slow cooker, with mashed potatoes, gravy and coleslaw. I dish it up on sturdy paper plates, cover in foil and then run them out to the field. Other meals that are super easy are

I enjoy going through old newspapers to find interesting stories.

Sometimes they were stories about major events, major discoveries, or occasionally just a

great anniversary.

This week, I decided to feature the couple of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Wallace.

I wish I had the first name of the wife, but at the time newspapers often didn’t print the first name of the wife.

The date was Aug. 22, 1952 and the aforementioned Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Cooper were t wo well known resi dents in Vermilion, having lived in the area since 1910. By that point, they had already been married eight years

pizza, lasagna, chili and sandwiches. I used to load up all the pots, dishes, thermos’s, cups etc. and condiments out to the field, but I found it was a lot of work, and the men are just as happy with a plate already dished out to eat. Another feature they like is that it is faster for them, so they can get back to combining.

Our apple tree is full and ready. Apples are in season right now so you will find a fresh crop in the grocery stores. Because of the heat, I usually wait until evening to turn on the oven to bake. I recently made an apple crisp, and used monk fruit Sweetener and organic oats. It turned out so good, I love it for breakfast, or for dessert to go out to the field. Happy and safe harvest everyone.

We may take 50 years together for granted these days, but in the earlyto - mid 20 th centur y, it was not as common.

To celebrate their anniversary, 103 people from the community came out for an afternoon and evening celebration for the couple. The reception was held at the home of their daughter.

Unfortunately, she was only identified as Mrs. Lawrence Barlow.

The happy couple had been married on Aug. 16, 1902 in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England and had come to C a n a d a i n A u g u s t o f 19 0 4 .

Sword And Thistle Highland Dance

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

Have you always been interested in Scottish dance but didn’t know where to learn it? The Sword and Thistle Highland Dancers (formerly known as the Mannville Vermilion Highland Dancers) is currently accepting registration for the 2022-23 dance year.

The club has been in existence for over 25 years and recently changed its name to reflect the communities represented in the club. “ Our dancers were not just from Mannville or Vermilion anymore. The Sword and Thistle Dancers is a name which connects the dancers who come to practices in Irma and Vermilion. Dance families come to us from Sedgewick, Myrnam, Mannville, Irma, Ver m i l i o n a n d L l oyd m i n s ter,” s a i d Danielle Eriksen, incoming president of the club.

Er i ks e n we nt o n to ex p l a i n t h at anyo ne ag e d 3 year s to ad ult c an join their club and no experience is required.

“Three and four year olds can join our Wee Lassies with their parents.

We offer classes for adult dancers who have graduated high school or parents and community members who want to try out a new style of exercise!” said Eriksen.

As for costumes, Eriksen commented that while most of the dancers purchase their kilts and aboyne skirts themselves the club does have several kilts that can be borrowed.

“Many older dancers are also willing

to sell their dresses to younger dancers as they move up,” explained Eriksen.

The Sword and Thistle does not have any fundraising and puts together two performances each year; the Robbie Burns night in Vermilion in January is a great family night and the Spring Fling at Lakeland College in April.

If you are interested in learning this ancient dance that has been known to be performed originally over swords and shields before Scottish battles you can register and learn more at https:// rb.gy/fvnlye or find them on Facebook.

Classes range in price from $225 $325 for year-long classes. If dancers want to try it out for six weeks, classes are between $45 -$80 depending on the age level.

“If dancers decide to continue after 6 weeks for the whole season, they can pay the rest of the amount owing for the yearly fees,” said Eriksen.

Classes in Irma are at Albert Hall which is half-way between Irma and M a n n v i l l e o n M o n d ay n i g h t s a n d c lasses in Vermilion are in the JR Ro bso n small g ym o n We d nesd ay Dancers performing at a previous Robbie Burns Night. Photo Vermilion Voice nights.

Three Generations Of Farm Fencing

Reporter

The Klassen family has been operating Alberta 1 Fencing for approximately 10 years near Myrnam. Three generations of staff include David and his wife Helena, their 18-year-old son Abram, and David’s parents Abram and Anita.

“It’s very important to properly maintain fences and keep them up to date; especially closer to the cities. A lot of people have their pasture on the side of the road and it’s very dangerous if cattle get out on the highway. In addition, some farmers like to calve in January, others in April and if the neighbour’s bull gets out, then their calving season will be mixed up and they aren’t prepared

for it. They will also have dif ferent breeds so by getting mixed, the quality of their livestock can go down,” said David Klassen.

Hands-on he said, is the easiest and best way to learn. For young people learning to fence, he said by seeing it first-hand, it gives you an idea of how the job is done.

“It’s a simple job, but there are always trademarks that can make it an easy and fun job. It’s a very fun job because we get to explore the countryside. Working in a shop or in town, you wouldn’t get to see the many hills and forest, or meet all of the different farmers,” said Klassen.

Alberta 1 Fencing runs until midDecember and they said their biggest

challenges are being a seasonal job, working through the freezing weather the grass on the hills becomes slippery in the rain. He said family and being immersed in the countryside are the biggest factors making it all worthwhile.

“Sometimes you go into the woods off the beaten path and you see wild animals – deer, moose or even bears have come to check out our work a couple of times,” said Klassen.

They converted part of a pick-up truck into a fencing machine by mounting a Heavy Hitter post pounder on the chassis. On the side pieces from a swather and a truck include a hydraulic motor to run the transfer case, and a little diesel engine to run the hydraulic pump.

“My wife and I usually pound the posts and my son and parents usually tighten the wire, etc.” said Klassen.

Servicing within a two-hour radius, Alberta 1 Fencing has clients in Edmonton, Athabasca, Bonny ville, Lac La Biche, Wainwright, etc. They provide mostly barbed wire fencing, but also do page wire, rails, and buffalo fencing.

Other jobs are always the same old he said, but working out in the country in this region they get to meet new people every week. They even have some succession farm families as return clients who they are “definitely super grateful” to. To find out more about booking fencing jobs, you can call 587-280-1566.

Allied Arts Council Rolls Out Another Successful Line Up Despite 2 Years Of Setbacks

Vermilion Allied Arts Council Submitted

The Vermilion Allied Ar ts Coun cil has suppor ted ar ts and culture since the 70’s, under the leadership of community-minded people like Art B o g g s, Ire n e S m i t h, Lin d a We b b Jacobsen and Brenda Ritz, to name a few. The VAAC seeks to bring a variety of live music, dance and theatre to our community. Canadian legend Rita McNeil, the Edmonton symphony and the U of A mixed chorus have graced the stage at Lakeland College’s Alumni Theatre along with the multi award winning p lay “Jake’s G if t ”, Tu p el o Honey, and the Sultans of String.

In past seasons, sea shanties were s hare d with UK ’s The Young ’ Uns, audiences jived along with Johnny Summer’s Little Big Band, and tapped their to es with Br ad J o hner, Bret t Kissel, and Duane Steele. We played host to Canadian folk music ar tists John Wort Hannam, Maria Dunn and Scot t Cook. And Christmas shows with John McDermott, Jimmy Rankin and the Heebee -Jeebees or the tributes to Abba, the Beatles and Paul Simon were unforgettable. The variety and quality is always spectacular.

The 2022/23 is no different and offers something for everybody.

The season starts Sunday, October 16th with the Derina Harvey Band. A native of Wabush, Labrador, Derina’s power ful voice belts out lyrics from familiar east coast tunes, while her bandmates keep this kitchen par t y lively with jigs and reels! This Celtic infused show is sure to have toes tapping and heads nodding.

In early November, Luke McMas-

ter ’s “ I c o n s of S o u l ” to ur h i t s t h e Alumni Theatre stage. With his strong te n o r vo i c e, L u ke s h ar e s o r i g i n a l song s, deeply influenced by early soul, and sing-along oppor tunities with favorite M otown hits like “ My Girl” or “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours”!

Our annual Mistletoe Gala is scheduled for Sunday November 27.

S p onsore d by long -time patron of the ar ts Lil Sweet, we welcome “A Horizon Ridge Christmas”. Get your family and friends in the holiday mood with traditional c arols and hymns!

The tight harmonies and polished a cappella of this fine group of multiinstrumentalist and seasoned musicians are spectacular!

This year there will not be a dinner prior to the performance, show only.

In Februar y, our series resumes with a return performance of Martin Kerr and friends on the 12th, for our Va l e n t i n e p e r fo r m a n c e. I t ’s q u i t e fitting as he has written and covers m a ny s o n g s o n t h e to p i c o f l ove.

Genre-hopping from folk to hip-hop, pop, soul, funk and back to his intimate singer-songwriter vibe, Martin is often compared to the best of the 1970 s troubad our s - Cat Stevens, James Taylor, John Denver. His soulf u l vo i c e a n d l y r i c s c o n n e c t w i t h listeners of all ages and backgrounds.

Our season comes to a close with a visit from the Slocan Ramblers, on Sunday, March 26th. A tremendously gifted group of Canadian musicians, this Toronto based bluegrass group delivers incredibly tight instrumentation and spot on harmonies. Not a group to miss!

The VAAC board’s goal is to provide brilliant artistic opportunities into the future and like many live venue organizations, the last t wo year s were not kind. This year, we really need community support. We need people to buy tickets and fill the seats if we hope to host and see live music and art in Vermilion. We promise in retur n fo r yo u r s u p p o r t , you will receive a season of fantastic offerings!

Become a par t of this season! All shows are Sunday m at i n e e s , b e g i n ning at 3:00pm, at Vermilion Lakeland College’s Alumni Theatre.

Tickets are $25 per show and can be purchased at Fa n t a s y F l o w e r s downtown Vermilion. We now of fer Festival Seating no longer assigned but “ fir st arr ive d, first choice”. This allows for patrons to s it a s c l o se or as far from the stage, and others, as comfortable.

Please su p p or t the Vermilion Allied Ar ts Council’s season by buying tickets or sponsoring an ar tist.

Letter To The Editor Albertan’s One Two Punch Exposed

Dear Editor In Alberta we are used to rhetoric about the Federal government giving Alber ta the shor t straw but here’s a new one and its not the Feds. It’s called “bracket creep” or de-indexation and this Alber ta government is using it on the backs of everyday hard-working Albertans.

Inflation is when the general price of goods and services increases across the economy, reducing purchasing power. The same paycheque covers less goods, services, and bills. Inflation is a “ hidden ta x,” as it leaves taxpayers less well-off due to higher c o s t s a n d “ b r a c ke t c r e e p,” w h i l e increasing the government’s spending power.

Bracket creep occurs when inflation pushes taxpayers into higher income tax brackets or reduces the value of tax credits.

Bracket creep in Alber ta has

resulted in an increase in income t a xe s w i t h o ut an in c rea s e in real income. In taxation we only ever want to tax real income. Income that has been adjusted for inflation or indexed.

This is not a new concept. Over the course of the previous 20 years, both federal and provincial policymakers agreed that whatever the rate of inflation, citizens would be protected.

The income tax system and benefits would be indexed. There would be no tax on inflation. Nearly all taxed income is indexed but not in Alberta.

Not since Budget 2019 when the UCP g overnment made the de c ision to not protect Alber tans from inflation through indexation. Alberta was the only major province to re-introduce “bracket creep”.

In Budget 2020 the UCP confirmed that provincial income tax and social benefits would remain “de-indexed” through 2025. Under this decision

consider the impact on even one area of the income tax code, the provincial basic personal exemption, or the amount that Albertans can earn before paying any provincial income tax.

Basic Personal Exemption in 2019 prior to Budget 2019: $19,369 B a s i c Pe r s o n a l E xe m p t i o n (de-indexed) through to 2025: $19,369 Basic Personal Exemption (if indexed) in 2025: $22,219 If the income tax system had remained indexed all Alber tans would have seen an increase in the basic personal exemption as inflation numbers increased. Income needs to be indexed against inflation as money earned as a result of inflation does not reflect an increased ability to pay ad ditional ta xes. Had the amount been indexed, as is normal policy, then the basic personal exemption would have increased each year by inflation.

T h i s p l a n, by t h e U CP g over n ment since Budget 2019, has also affected key benefits like the Alberta Child and Family Benefit, the Alberta Seniors Benefit and AISH because these programs are not increasing to balance inflation.

D e - i n d exat i o n s h o u l d n ever b e used. Period. Its one of those things that can turn around and bite you in the butt. The UCP government has kept this quiet for 3 years. And now they would have you believe that this was necessary until royalty resources stabilized but, Albertans have never been able to count on this in the long term. This past week, August 31st, with the coffers overflowing, the UCP government announced the end to de-indexing but not for all areas and for how long? This UCP government constantly gambles with our money – yours and mine.

Fire Training Students Plan Community Car Wash

Angela Mouly

The Platoon 2 fire training students from Lakeland College will be hosting a Car Wash on September 9, at the Emergency Training Centre from 3 – 6 p.m. Eve n t h o u g h i t wa s n ot required for their course, Dean Shawn McKerry, said Emily Bartz along with Rebecca Smith and Courtney Daley took it upon themselves to improve c o m munit y relat i o ns an d p lan t he event.

“I think it’s so important for all first responders to hold a higher standard in the community because we are the ones seeing people on their worst days,” said Smith.

“We all want to be people that the communit y trusts. The way we see the fire ser vice, they are out in the community and are a part of it. And if I’m having a bad day, I want to trust the people that are coming to fix it,” said Bartz.

The newly appointed dean was a student of this school in 20 0 6 and said they put a lot of pres sure on t h e m s e l ve s b e c au s e t h ey want to m a ke s u r e t h ey h ave exc e p t i o n a l people going out; including highly trained firefighters with some outside components that build extra character and in turn great quality people.

Coming up with the idea for a car wash Bar tz said, “ We have to wash the trucks every Friday, so I figured we have the facility and the manpower to do it. There are 20 of us, and we get to do it in the spirit of firefighting wearing our bunker pants; it makes sense to do something with water as a firefighter group. We also hope to put on a demo for children, showing them around the trucks and hopefully inspire some younger people.”

Learn More About Shingles

AHS Submitted

Shingles is a painful skin rash. It is caused by the varicella zoster virus. Shingles usually appears in a band, a strip, or a small area on one side of the face or body. It is also called herpes zoster.

Shingles is most common in older adults and people who have weak immune systems because of stress, injury, certain medicines, or other reasons. Most people who get shingles will get better and will not get it again. But it is possible to get shingles more than once.

What causes shingles?

Shingles occurs when the virus that causes chickenpox starts up again in your body. After you get better from chickenpox, the virus “sleeps” (is dormant) in your nerve roots. In some people, it stays dormant forever. In others, the virus “wakes up” when disease, stress, or aging weakens the immune system.

Some medicines may trigger the virus to

wake up and cause a shingles rash. It is not clear why this happens. But after the virus becomes active again, it can only cause shingles, not chickenpox.

There is a small chance that a person with a shingles rash can spread the virus to another person who hasn’t had chickenpox and who hasn’t gotten the chickenpox vaccine.

What are the symptoms?

Shingles symptoms happen in stages.

At first you may have a headache or be sensitive to light. You may also feel like you have the flu but not have a fever.

Later, you may feel itching, tingling, or pain in a certain area. That’s where a band, strip, or small area of rash may occur a few days later. The rash turns into clusters of blisters. The blisters fill with fluid and then crust over. It takes two to four weeks for the blisters to heal, and they may leave scars. Some people only get a mild rash. And some do not get a rash at all.

It’s possible that you could also feel dizzy or weak. Or you could have pain or a rash on your face, changes in your vision, changes in how well you can think, or a rash that spreads. A rash or blisters on your face, especially near an eye or on the tip of your nose, can be a warning of eye problems.

Call your doctor now if you think you may have shingles. It’s best to get early treatment. Medicine can help your symptoms get better sooner. And if you have shingles near your eye or nose, see your doctor right away. Shingles that gets into the eye can cause permanent eye damage How is shingles treated?

Shingles is treated with medicines.

These medicines include antiviral medicines and medicines for pain.

See your doctor right away if you think you may have shingles. Starting antiviral medicine right away can help your rash heal faster and be less painful. And you may need prescription pain medicine if your case of shingles is very painful.

Good home care also can help you feel better faster. Take care of any skin sores, and keep them clean. Take your medicines as directed. If you are bothered by pain, tell your doctor. Other treatments may help with intense pain.

Who gets shingles?

Anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles. You have a greater chance of getting shingles if you are older than 50 or if you have a weak immune system.

There is a shingles vaccine for adults.

It lowers your chances of getting shingles and prevents long-term pain that can occur after shingles. And if you do get shingles, having the vaccine makes it more likely that you will have less pain and your rash will clear up more quickly.

Call Health Link at 811 to find out more, or speak with your family healthcare provider.

an af ternoon class regarding the new Mathology. The other af ternoon session was led by Lana Lane and was about implementing the new Language Arts curriculum.

We had our first assembly of the year in the gym. We started with the land acknowledgement and O Canada. Mrs. Doher ty introduced all of the staff members. Then we had a group activity before we went

St. Jerome’s Catholic School News

Welcome Back Spartans! Another school year at St. Jerome’s is off to a great start. Students were warmly greeted on the first day of school by student council members offering juice and granola bars to help power us through the first day. These awesome Spartans came in early to decorate the entrances in our school colours and chalk the sidewalks with encouraging messages. It was a lovely way to start the day, so thank you to student council for their efforts. Teachers spent the days leading up to the start of this school year engaging in professional development and traveling to Wainwright for our division’s Mission & Ministry Day. East Central Catholic Schools (ECACS) believes in grounding our work in our Faith. On Thursday, August 25 all staff of ECACS joined together in a Mass lead by the priests from our local parishes and Reverend Cristino Bouvette, our guest speaker for the remainder of the day at Blessed Sacrament. Father Cristino is an Indigenous Albertan ordained in the Diocese of Calgary in 2012. He oversees the St. Francis Xavier Chaplaincy for young adults and is passionate about fostering reconciliation between the Catholic Church and Indigenous Peoples. He

was central in the Papal visit and we were blessed with the opportunity to hear him speak about how we can use our Catholic Faith to work towards truth and reconciliation on our personal faith journey’s.

Vermilion Farmer’s Market Well Into Harvest Season

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Vermilion Farmer’s Market ran August 30, and is held every Tuesday as well as one Saturday each month at the Elk’s Hall. The next Saturday market will be on September 17, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. with lunch available.

Eight vendors provided a variety of vegetables, Watkins, eggs, sewing, honey and baking. Breanne Orton said, “Shopping at a farmer’s market rather than a store is great because it provides an opportunity to cut out the middle man, and there is such a variety of items as well as coffee and visiting.”

Or ton was welcomed as the new market manager on July 1. Since then, she said things have been going very

well and she is already looking forward to the Christmas season coming up.

“Last summer I had an abundance of eggs, and began Farm Fresh Butt Nuggets as a way to sell them. The opportunity arose to take the manager position, and it’s a family affair,” said Orton.

Kathy N ac iuk wit h H o me Sweet Novelties added that regular members often try to help one another out. Naciuk has been creating and selling her sewing and crochet wares for the past six years.

“I love the interaction with people and getting out,” said Naciuk.

In order to find out more or reserve tables you can call or text Breanne Orton at 780-787-3935.

September 10 marks World Suicide Prevention Day, an initiative of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), which aims to increase awareness, build knowledge, and spark conversations about suicide.

Suicide is an ongoing societal and public health concern. Every year, more Albertans die by suicide than the number of people who die in motor vehicle collisions.

It’s hard to know if someone is thinking about suicide, but recognizing the risk factors and warning signs is an important step in helping to prevent suicide.

Some risk factors include: • Barriers to accessing social and health services.

• Mental illnesses, such as severe depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or anxiety.

• Traumatic life events, such as the death of a partner or friend, divorce, or financial issues.

• Family violence, including physical or sexual abuse.

• Diagnosis of a serious physical illness.

Warning signs may include:

• Planning or saying they want to hurt or kill themselves or someone else.

• Talking, writing, reading, or drawing about death, including writing suicide notes and talking about items that can cause physical harm, such as pills, guns, or knives.

• Saying they have no hope, they feel trapped, or there is no point in “going on.”

It is important to take any mention of suicide seriously, and to get help right away if someone you know is in immediate risk of suicide: • Call 911, a suicide hotline (see telephone numbers below), or the police.

• Stay with the person or ask someone you trust to stay with the person, until the crisis has passed.

• Encourage the person to seek professional help.

• Don’t argue with the person (“It’s not as bad as you think”) or challenge the person (“You’re not the type to attempt suicide”).

• Tell the person that you are there to support them.

Talk about the situation as openly as possible.
