Overall, they are thankful to have good landowners here that welcomed them into the community. Their staff have already been involved in the community through a food bank drive and the fair in Mannville, and plan to continue their involvement in a variety of ways whether that be contributing funds or spending time participating in programs.

Reactions To The Queens Passing

April 21, 1947, was a historical day when Princess Elizabeth pledged her life to the service of the Commonwealth on her 21st birthday. The Princess was on a tour of South Africa with her parents and younger sister. She began her speech by saying, “On my twenty-first birthday I welcome the opportunity to speak to all the peoples of the British Commonwealth and Empire, wherever they live, whatever race they come from, and whatever language they speak…” But, the most famous part of her speech which has been played repeatedly over the years was when she said, “I should like to make this dedication now. It is very simple. I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to

which we all belong…”

As it has been stated in several articles and documentaries over the years, the young Princess was unaware that her life of service would begin at such an early age. With the passing of her father King George VI on February 6, 1952; Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 25. Her coronation was held on June 2, 1953.

Since becoming Queen Elizabeth the Second she had remained steadfast in her oath. She had diligently fulfilled her duties and service to her people carrying out hundreds of duties per year, and touring the Commonwealth; which has included 22 official visits to Canada since her ascension to the throne in 1952. The first visit to Canada was in 1957 with the last in 2010. She had visited Alberta six times during her reign with the final visit being in 2005.

On the morning of September 8, Queen Elizabeth was put under medical supervision and her family rushed to her bedside. By late afternoon, Buckingham Palace in keeping with tradition for all royal announcements posted the plaque on the gates of Buckingham Palace announcing the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The announcement read, “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon...”

The world was in shock as just two days prior the Queen had appointed Liz Truss as her 15th Prime Minister from Balmoral.

As the news of Her Majesty’s passing spread around the world, many politicians expressed their thoughts and sorrows and took time to reflect on the Queen’s seven-decade reign, including members from Canada as she was the country’s head of state.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke from Vancouver expressing his deep sorrow, “ She was one of my most favourite people and I will miss her so,” commented Prime Minister Trudeau. He also commented how Queen Elizabeth II was Canada’s Queen for almost half of its existence. Trudeau spoke of the Queen’s devotion to her service. “She had an obviously deep and abiding love and affection for Canadians. She served us all with strength and wisdom for 70 years.” He commented that “She was thoughtful, wise, curious, helpful, funny, and so much more. In a complicated world, her steady grace and resolve brought comfort and strength to us all.”

With many Canadians today mourning the loss of Her Majesty the Queen Trudeau echoed the sentiment by saying, “Canada is in mourning.”

The Vermilion Voice | September 13, 2022 Continued from page 2 In a heartfelt speech Canada’s Governor General Mary Simon addressed the death of the Queen with a personal sentiment, “When I was growing up, my grandmother revered The Queen, as did so many in the Arctic. She would tell us stories about Her Majesty, her role, and her commitment. Her Majesty’s warm welcome when we spent time with her earlier this year was a profound moment in our lives and a memory we will cherish forever.”

“I join Albertans, Canadians, and the peoples of the Commonwealth in deepest grief and sorrow at the death of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” stated Premier Jason Kenney. Kenney echoed the sentiment of so many other leaders by saying that the Canadian Monarch was for us a bedrock of stability and continuity. He went on to speak of how “Her late Majesty gave her whole life in service to her people and to the institutions that are the safeguards of our parliamentary democracy and liberties.” He commented on the Queen’s many visits to Alberta and how she demonstrated her deep affection for this place and its people, and that her name will live on forever in our schools and streets, roadways and buildings...” Kenney ended his statement by thanking Her Majesty for her years of service and sent condolences to the Royal Family.

On a municipal level, The Town of Vermilion Mayor Greg Thronsdon released a statement on Friday, September 9th expressing sadness in learning of the Monarch’s passing.

“We were saddened to hear the news of Her Majesty’s passing on Thursday, she reigned with grace, compassion, and an unwavering sense of duty. We will fondly remember her as a dignified global leader and committed public servant,” said Mayor Throndson. “The Town of Vermilion offers our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, the

people of the United Kingdom, and the Commonwealth as a whole. The Town of Vermilion’s flags will be at half-mast from now until sunset on the day of the memorial service of Her Majesty the Queen,” the press release stated.

Mayor for the City of Lloydminster also released a statement regarding the Queen’s passing and said, “We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada. She has been a constant presence in our lives for seven decades.

Since proclaimed Queen throughout the Commonwealth in February 1952, she has exhibited exemplary selflessness in her dedication to duty. May we always remember the impact The Queen had on our daily lives and the richness she brought to the world.

As a community, we mourn with all Canadians and the Commonwealth and extend our deepest condolences to The Royal Family during their time of grieving.”

Upon the Queen’s passing Charles Prince of Wales ascended to the throne and has taken the sovereign title King Charles III, and his wife, Camilla, will be known as the queen consort.

Great Britain has a new King and the Commonwealth has a new head. On Saturday, September 10, Canada proclaimed King Charles III to be its new Sovereign.

Due to protocols surrounding the Conser vative Leadership race Vermiion-Lloydminster- Wainwright MLA Garth Rowswell was unable to comment, however on Sunday after the Leader for the party was voted in he released a statement saying, “Condolences on the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. This is a sad moment for the UK, the Commonwealth and indeed the world.

Her Majesty was a fixed point of constancy and the exemplar of duty

and service.

In a speech she gave on the evening of her coronation the Queen said, “I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my hear t I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.”

Her Majesty kept that promise for 70 memorable years.

On behalf of the people of the Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright riding. I convey my deepest condolences to the Royal Family. God Save The King.”

The Government of Alberta has established a digital condolence book for Albertans to sign online.

Alternatively, select provincial buildings — such as the Legislature — and participating MLA offices will have physical books Her Majesty the Queen on the day of her coronation.

It’s None Of Your Business – Or Is It?

Walking Through Grief Submitted

When we look at our place is our community the question is “What is our business and what isn’t?” When events or incidences occur, we may feel inclined to share information via social media, making it our business. However, we must consider the impact of our actions when we make the decision to share information. With one “share” click, we make something our business and also make it open to others viewing it as well.

Consequently, this makes it their business as well. Consider the following prior to sharing information: What is our business? – Responding to Accidents/Incidents If an accident has occurred and you are first on scene, use your technology to make it your business to help and call 9-1-1. If you notice that someone is lost, is having a mental health

irritability, reduced productivity, feelings of hopelessness, anger, despair, sadness, feelings of reexperiencing the event, nightmares, anxiety, avoidance of people or activities, persistent anger or sadness. Therefore, it is very important to slow down prior to sharing information and remember to think about: Those who are family or close friends.

Those who have had past experience that is similar and the triggers created.

Those whose personality causes them to identify with.

While it may feel helpful to share our experiences with a social platform, we must consider how sharing the information may impact privacy of others. It also might unknowingly cause experiences of secondary trauma.

If pictures of accidents and incidents are shared via social media, the descriptions and pictures viewed may led to secondar y trauma.

Treasured Memories of My Dear Mother, DARLENE KREITZ (nee McMinis), who left us suddenly September 14, 1978.

I will always remember the way she looked, And the way she spoke and smiled; The little things she said and did Are with me all the while.

She meant so very much to me, That nothing I can say, Can tell the sadness in my heart, As I think of her each day.

It doesn’t matter the day or year, There’s always the heartache, Always the tear.

Memories don’t fade, They just grow deep, For the one that I loved, But could not keep.

Life goes on, I know that is true, But it’s not the same without you.

We In Memory of Darlene Kreitz (nee McMinis) Remembrance to our dear sister Who was called home on September 14,1978 The treasure of your memory, Darlene, Will never fade or die, In silence we shed a tear And ask the reason why.

God called your name so softly That only you could hear And no one heard the footsteps Of angels drawing near.

As each and every day goes by, We think of you a while, And always in our hearts, We will keep the memory of your smile.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

The flowers and leaves may wither, The golden sun may set, But the hearts that truly loved you Are the ones that don’t forget, God bless you Darlene, till we meet again Forever in our hearts and thoughts.

Zucchini Spice Cake

Dawn Hames Columnist

So far this is one of the most summer like fall seasons we have had in a long time. The zucchini p lant s have b e e n producing for some time now, and I am left with some big ones. When you are making this cake, if you are using young tender zucchini, just cut the top and bottom off, and grate the whole zucchini.

If like me, you have larger, harder skinned ones left in the garden, or someone gifts you one, then peel it, and remove the seed before grating.

Zucchini are high in several miner-

als, and many vitamins including five different B vitamins, vitamin C and K. The skin of a zucchini is 2 – 10 times higher in beneficial carotenoids, so by all means eat with the skin on, especially if they are from your garden or a neighbor’s garden that does not use chemical spray.

Zucchini is a good source of fiber at 2.5 grams per cup. Surprisingly zucchini contains omega 3 essential oil. Zucchini are low in calories and full of nutrients. If you did not grow any, there should be lots of fresh organic ones at the local farmer’s market, or get to know a gardener that is giving them away.

When The Library Got A Big Donation

It was back in 1951, the year the Princess Elizabeth made her first trip to Canada, the only one before becoming Queen, that the Vermilion library received a very big donation.

It was in May of that year when Mayor S.C. Heckbert announced that a donation of $10,000 had come from a resident of Lake Forest, Illinois, to be used for the building of a modern library building.

Why did this resident donate the money? Well, he was a former resident of Vermilion and very well known in the community.

The cheque was presented to the Mayor by J.W.G. Morrison, who was for many years Mayor of Vermilion

himself, and was a g oo d friend to Whitnell. As for Whitnell, he had lived in the Vermilion area, as well as the town, for several years and was known to be highly involved in munic ipal matters. Wanting to help out his former community, he decided to make the large donation.

According to the message relayed by Whitnell, he wanted to thank the community for the many courtesies that were extended to him during his days as a pioneer in the area, decades ago.

That $10,000 may not seem like much, but when we factor in inflation, the donation becomes much larger. Today, that donation would be worth a whopping $110,143.

The money would be used for the erection of the new building, which would

provide reading room facilities as well.

This new library would replace the one that had served the community for decades, which was run by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire.

Unfortunately, that library was becoming too small for the community and a larger library was needed.

Thankfully, residents and former residents like Whitnell stepped up to help the community to make it happen.

Let the good times roll So, the first day of school has c o m e a n d g o n e.

I t ’s g o o d t o b e back as EA and bus driver for Marshall School. When my bus ground to a halt at each house that first morning, kids piled up the steps with varying degrees of happiness and resignation on their faces.

One boy rolled dramatic eyes skyward and sighed as mom told him to pose for a photo. Yet another was shocked at his parent’s flagrant lack of attention and yelled over his shoulder, “ Hey, Mom, aren’t you gonna take my picture?”

Seat assignments were given, and friendships that had stood the test of time (otherwise known as two months) were rekindled.

There was a moment of panic when a wasp was detected, but that was soon handled by a boy with a binder, and my usual refrain of “Sit down” and “Stop hollering. I can’t hear myself

Prairie Wool

think” were employed once more.

As an EA, my other job, there were a l s o a few s t a n d - o u t m o m e nt s . I spend all afternoon in first grade now, and Thursday was a long day for the kids. However, it was a piece of cake for a sweet little girl named Paisley.

She sat happily listening to stories, followed directions to put away her things, and busily wrote the letter S— ten times.

Then, she warmed my heart when she drew a picture of her and me on a tiny piece of paper and pressed it into my hand with a shy smile and glowing eyes. It meant a lot. There may be a distinct lack of arms in the picture, and baldness doesn’t suit either of us, but we both look happy, and that’s the main thing.

The next was when the class went outside for a nature walk. Such times a r e a l way s f i l l e d w i t h w i d e - eye d wonder, and this was no exception, although not quite how you might think.

As I walked beside another sweet little girl named Hope, we discussed her deep desire to “Go home now.”

In an effort to prevent the tears that

threatened to spill, since I’m her bus driver too, I assured her that I would take her to be with Mommy really soon.

I g estured across the playground toward her house and explained that she lived just over there.

“And I live in a house down that road,” I said, pointing the opposite way and smiling.

She stopped dead. Her eyes widened with incredulit y, and her mouth dropped open as she regarded me with surprise.

“You live in a—house?” she asked in a slow, disbelieving voice.

Covering my laugh, I conceded that, yes, it was true. Kids are often surprised by this fact. If they never see me outside of a school setting, it ’s logical to think I couldn’t exist outside of it. And since I begin and end my day on a bus, it becomes reasonable that I must pull down some lonely road to gobble a solitar y meal of canned beans. Then, it follows that I must sit bolt upright behind the wheel throug hout the night or bed down on a cold vinyl seat; my only goal in life to drive again at dawn’s first light. It makes

perfect sense.

Ah yes, school is back in session for another year. Let the good times roll.

RCMP Offer Tips In Protecting Your Property

RCMP Submitted

RCMP are starting an education initiative by providing monthly tips to residents in the hopes to assist in overall crime reduction within the community.

“Recording Your Property” is the Crime Prevention Tip of the Month.

It is essential to police that when you report property stolen that you provide identifying marks, descriptions, make, model, and most importantly, serial

numbers. Serial numbers are specific to one item which makes it easier when property is located for police to return it to the owner. Ensure you keep this information in a safe place, whether it be in a notebook at home or on your personal handheld device.

Serial numbers can be added to the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). When property is stolen and added to CPIC it can deter people from purchasing or selling these stolen items. Anyone

Tax Relief For Prairie Livestock Producers

Canadian farmers are directly impacted by climate change and its effects can be detrimental to sustaining operations. To provide assurance for producers as they make difficult herd management decisions, today the Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced an initial list of designated regions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba where Livestock Tax Deferral has been authorized for 2022 due to extreme weather conditions.

The Livestock Tax Deferral provision

allows livestock producers who are forced to sell a significant amount of their breeding herd due to drought or flooding to defer a portion of their income from sales until the following tax year. The income may be at least partially offset by the cost of reacquiring breeding animals, thereby reducing the potential tax burden associated with the original sale.

Eligible regions have been identified based on weather, climate and production data, in consultation with industry and provinces. The criteria for identifying regions for Livestock Tax Deferral includes forage shortfalls of 50% or more caused by drought or excess moisture.

The Government of Canada will continue

Saluting.. Our Local Farmers We extend our thanks to you and your families for

to monitor conditions across the country to determine whether the addition of other regions throughout the year are required.

In addition to the Livestock Tax Deferral provision, producers have access to a comprehensive suite of Business Risk Management (BRM) programs to help them manage significant risks that threaten the viability of their farm and are beyond their capacity to manage. BRM programs are often the first line of support for producers facing disasters and farmers are encouraged to make use of these programs to protect their farming operations.

To help farm families succeed in a chang-

ing climate, the Government of Canada will continue to support farmers with the tools they need to get through the challenges of today, while working to build a sustainable future for the agriculture sector in Canada.

“Canada’s producers continue to show remarkable resilience as they face challenges and uncertainty due to extreme weather conditions. Designation of the Livestock Tax Deferral provision provides farmers with the resources needed to make informed decisions and focus on rebuilding their herd and their operations,” The Honourable MarieClaude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

Dewberry Valley Bison

Angela Mouly Reporter

Dewberry Valley Bison is celebrating a one year anniversary in the bison industry that originated from 40 years experience on a family farm. The highlight of their business is offering a quality gate to plate customer experience.

“Bison is a leaner meat than say the beef or pork alternatives that people typically choose for red meat. In addition, the nutritional advantages of bison include being a rich source of vitamin B12 & B6, iron, zinc, and niacin,” said owner Brad Romanchuk.

“I think if people find the right producer,

they should be able to source their meat more affordably. The rancher should be more profitable because they aren’t trucking the animals, and the consumer doesn’t pay the in between costs they would find in a grocery store. We handle our animals very ethically so you know where it’s coming from and how it’s been treated. In a supermarket, it could come from a variety of places and if you knew the process it might be less desirable.”

Along with his dad, Brent, said they focus more on quality than quantity, which sets them apart from others in the industry. Focused on creating a local, farm

raised bison product, they don’t ship many animals out because most are butchered, and their customers so far tend to be recurring ones.

“We aren’t focused on a big, chunky animal, but a prime well fed animal that has had a non-stressful experience which transfers into a higher quality meat. Both heifers and bulls are butchered between 18-24 months which is a prime age range where the meat is most tender, “said Romanchuk. “All of our finished bison that go for sale have a grass/hay diet throughout their life cycle, but finishing animals are on a hand-fed oat diet for a minimum of 90 days.”

Supplementing with hand-fed oats in addition to hay and grass makes them a bit unique. Romanchuk said a large quantity of producers use a self-feed approach, whereas they see their animals everyday putting the oats in troughs with pails. This makes them very low stress becoming very accustomed to humans before they go to butcher.

“We find and our butcher attests to less stressed high quality animals that walk on and off the trailer as opposed to crashing on and off. I think that has a lot to do with how we feed them,” said Romanchuk.

Dewberr y Valley Bison currently provides meat to over a 250 kilometre radius with most of their product going to Edmonton. Most of those customers are supplying their household deep freezes, while local customers tend to pick-up smaller portions purchasing a few steaks or burgers for the weekend.

With grass and hay as the main input coming out of last year’s dry conditions

it was a challenge to find adequate feed for the new operation, as well as the initial start up costs as bison require a larger infrastructure. Bison he said, are different from other animals in that they don’t participate in calving, and the handling is a little more intense.

“Bison are pretty rambunctious in close quarters. They are going to bang and smash into things; they are big animals. At first people are pretty intimidated, but we take a pretty cautious approach to things,” said Romanchuk.

Depending on the time of year, Dewberry Valley Bison generally keeps about 100 head of bison at various ages.

They maintain a small calving herd of about 35 animals which maintains some of the herd but they do purchase to keep their gate to plate operation supplied.

Their investment in the process has developed a certain pride and satisfaction when they see a high quality product going out. Romanchuk said, “Feedback from customers saying they would never go back to anything else motivates us. I don’t think we anticipated just how quiet we could get the animals just through proper handling and hand-fed strategy. Bison have a reputation for being very wild; they are rambunctious - don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t anticipate we would have that much success. Another thing is just how good the meat is when it is handled right and fed right. That is not to take a shot at my beef producing counterparts; it’s just that bison is not a gamey-meat, especially if fed properly it is even a bit sweet. The meat actually is very comparable to beef but less fatty.” Continued on page 11

Continued from page 10 He said anyone that enjoys a steak will enjoy similar cuts of bison. Rib steak and t-bones tend to be their most popular and because they are leaner, they take a little less heat when cooking. Their other most popular product is ground meat which is also very affordable or prepackaged burger patties with seasoning made of pure bison and nothing mixed in.

Valuing Agriculture

Angela Mouly Reporter

C e n t r a l S a s k a t c h e w a n /A l b e r t a farmer, Heather Warrington, said there are many reasons that the agriculture industry is important. Along with her husband Aaron (who is a Lakeland College alumnus) and their two children, they’ve run Wanna Creek Ranch for the past 20 years. “ The most undeniable reason is that it provides nutrition that is essential for human life. Everyone needs to eat; plain and simple - we need the Ag

Industry,” said Warrington.

L ast year t hey purc hase d so me land in Alberta from her father as he was looking to retire and they were looking for more pasture. This is only their second season running cattle on the new land, but so far she said it seems to be working well. The challeng es with having a bi - provinc ial farm she said are pret t y much the ones you’d expect; trying to learn the ins and outs of different municipalities and the extra time and distance required to check on the cat tle.

Ad ditional c osts are also incurred with the regular trips as well as the tr an s p or t at i o n of t h e an im a l s. O n the other side of that she said, “It’s great to have some beautiful scenery with the Alberta land as, pardon the stereotype, we are not accustomed to so many trees and hills. There also seems to have been quite a few rains this year that missed our pastures at home, but hit the Alberta pastures, so that really helps looking into the fall.”

A mixed farm, they grow mostly

oats, barley, flax and lentils, but their main focus is their cattle. They have a commercial herd, as well as a few purebred Maine-Anjous, and one very special purebred Highland heifer. She had always dreamed of owning a Highland as a pet, but she said they always research before jumping into things and realized that there is actually great potential for Highland cattle, so they plan to acquire a small fold of them over the next few years.

Continued from page 12 “Diversification is key in most small businesses, and farming is no exception,” said Warrington. “People can gain patience, tenacity, perseverance and a strong work ethic from being involved in farming. It also encourages problem-solving, teamwork, and a sense of humour because some days, all you can do is laugh.

I sincerely wish people who aren’t involved in the Ag Industr y would make an effort to get a closer look and actually listen to what people within the industr y have to say. The lack of hands-on knowledge an average person has of the industry, combined with the abundance of misinformation being widely presented these days, makes it easy to see how people can get a jaded view.

Despite what some people seem to think, farmers care about the land.

They care about their animals. And they care about people. Can improvements be made? Of course. Just as in any industry. But you’d be amazed at how much thought and effort goes into each step along the way. Don’t just demand change for change’s sake.

We need to make changes that don’t just sound like they will make things better, but actually do make things better.”

Throughout her lifetime her involvement and appreciation for farming has continued to grow. Growing up, her father taught her and her sisters to respect the land and take care of the animals with a passion that she says was unmatched.

“He worked long hours on his own farm as well as always being willing to help others. He literally taught us to stop and smell the roses (or the mint or whatever) when out in the pastures.

I will admit that there was a time when I didn’t fully appreciate his lessons, or this way of life; but I have grown to be incredibly grateful for them, and I am honoured to be able to continue the tradition,” said Warrington.

Her next influence in agriculture was through her husband, Aaron. She said he loves what he does to the point it literally translates to who he is. “ I admire his abilit y to preser ve through all the adversity farming can bring. He takes great pride in making sure his animals are well taken care of and does a great job of that. He works long hours without complaint and in temperatures that make me want to curl up and cry. I am impressed over and over again when he comes up against a problem and figures out a solution. Farmers have to think on their feet because there is always something new to contend with.

“I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention a few others. My wonderful father-in-law and his brother who are still farming in their late 70s/early 80s.

They are certainly an inspiration. I also have huge appreciation for my motherin-law who has spent decades doing field meals, running for par ts, and doing their farm books. She is an integral part of the operation. Honestly, every farming friend or neighbour we have is a constant inspiration because we all have ups and downs, but in the end we pull through, help each other out, and keep going,” said Warrington.

So far the weather this harvest has been too hot and dry, but she supposed it was better than the alternative. The Warrington’s are not alone in their race to finish harvest, as all across the prairies farmers work to wrap up the growing season and prepare for winter; many of whom are grateful for the bounty the season brings.

13th Annual Regional Suicide Walk Of Remembrance

Walking Through Grief Submitted

The day that has been set apart as World Suicide Prevention Day also marked the 13th annual of the Regional Suicide Walk of Remembrance, held at the Bud Miller Park, in Lloydminster.

One hundred and sixteen people gathered to do the memory walk around the lake, and to remember their loved one, and to meet others impacted by suicide.

Lives that have been forever changed.

The event began with a prayer given by Maxine Desjarlais. MC Kurt Price asked for greetings to be brought by Mayor Gerald Aalbers, MLA from Alberta Garth Rowswell and MLA Colleen Young from Saskatchewan.

Agencies present also shared the information about services they provide.

Mayor Aalbers shared about Project Sunrise, Shirley Scott represented Walking Through Grief Society, Sinecsh Kutuvilla for from the Sask.

Health Authority Addictions and Mental Health, and Laurie Harris on behalf of Patsy Waskewitch for Lloydminster

Native Friendship Centre. Tyler Lorenz was for Residents in Recovery, Jennifer Romanchuck for Connect Sport, and Becky Walker for Midwest Family Connections.

The walk this year was led by the Lloydminster Steelers.

After the walk ended and people had time to connect, the activities moved to the Legacy Centre where a Beef on Bun supper was provided. The presentation by Allan Kehler was brought to the City by FCSS and some 120 people learned about the impact of suicide and addiction and mental health issues on the individuals, family and communities and how that can be changed.

The attendees were left with one action we all can take. ASK, REACH OUT and LISTEN. Recognition of all the voluteers, working tirelessly, for many months to bring this event to reality was also given. (Neil Harris, Laurie Harris, Maxine Desjarlais, Shirley Scott, Jennifer Romanchuck, Jennifer Gordon, Gayle Barnes, Desire Wile and Sask.

The glass at the Vermilion Rotary Look-out was starting to show its age over the past couple of years, so the Vermilion Rotary Club decided to replace the existing plexi-glass with new on Thursday, September 8. Rotary club members Bruce MacDuff, Shawn Jacula, Mike Bykowski, Darlene Barlow, Eugene Wasylik, and Erwin Warkentin, braved the cooler temperatures and windy conditions to get the job done.

Why Hire An Interior Decorator?

We’re rarely short on ideas when it comes to decorating our homes. But sometimes, knowing where to star t can be a little daunting. Maybe you’re looking to update your new home with a look you’ll love, refresh the style of your current house or even stage it to help it sell faster. Regardless of your needs, an interior decorator will be able to provide you with sound advice while respecting your tastes and budget.

AN ART IN ITSELF There are no defined standards when it comes to interior decorating. Designs and trends change over time, varying from person to person and home to

home. Interior decorators are skilled when it c omes to blending st yles and colours, and are experts at finding those decorative items that make all the difference. They also have a wealth of knowledge about the different fabrics and materials that work well together. They’ll bring a unique and modern touch to your home while adhering to your own personal preferences and tastes.

AN EYE FOR DESIGN

An interior decorator will be able to help you every step of the way as you redesign your home. They’ll analyze the different options available to you and suggest the best possible choices fo r yo u r c u r r e n t n e e d s . W h e t h e r it’s establishing a budget, choosing colours and materials, or following up on orders, a decorator will oversee each step in the process to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the end result.

St. Jerome’s Catholic School

Submitted

School is now back in full swing, and we have settled into our new routines. St. Jerome’s School is excited to be hosting our Annual Fall Supper again this year. It will be held on September 22 and tickets can be purchased for either the early or late seatings. You can purchase your tickets using School Cash online, through your child, or if you do not currently have students that attend you can call and speak to Tina at the office. This is one of our school’s largest fundraisers that raises money to support student learning and events throughout the school year. Spartans use the “Stone Soup” method to run this fundraiser. What that means is that each student brings a contribution to the meal (a rutabaga, a head of lettuce, a homemade pie, a block of cheese, etc.). Once

everything has been brought in, our Spartan family takes on the important job of preparing the feast. Younger students make centerpieces for each table, older students advertise the event, while others peel rutabagas and mash potatoes. It really is a feat that takes dedication from all students and staff. A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Moir for all of the hours she spends volunteering, organizing, and coordinating this special event. Many hands may not make light work, but in this case… it makes a delicious meal! Come break bread with us and celebrate the opportunity to be together this harvest. As a side note, if you are feeding farmers, nurses, or anyone else who may not be able to attend the event in person you can purchase take-away plates of food to go. We hope to see you there!

Our Spartans use so much brain power

learning, that they need to eat! Mrs. Lysons has taken over running our milk room. She has Milkto-Go in Strawberry, Chocolate, or Vanilla and small cartons of chocolate or white milk for sale.

Parents can use School Cash to purchase milk cards online for their children or you can send cash or a cheque with your child. Mrs. Dewing has already been busy working her magic and cooking for all of our junior and senior high students. At our lunchroom, students can purchase snacks, meals, desserts, and beverages. Hot lunch for our elementary students begins this week. Hot lunch is available to be purchased every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and the cost is $4.50 per meal.

Platoon 2 Car Wash

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre’s Platoon 2 students held a Car Wash September 9, raising funds for Hearts and Hands.

“It’s been crazy - a huge turnout,” said Rebecca Smith.

Within the first two hours they had a lread y c l ean e d over 3 5 ve h i c l e s including a visit from the Vermilion Fire Department which the students were very thankful for the support.

Smith said the idea came while chat-

ting in the dorms that is would be a nice way to thank the community for welcoming them because they’ve loved their experience at the school so far.

“It ’s really amazing to see where we were at the start compared to now being like a big family. Teamwork is a big deal in the fire service, and we are only half way there. We would also like to thank everyone for the donations,” said Smith.

The group had set a goal of $500 and part way through, they could tell they had already surpassed their goal. Platoon 2 Firefighters washing one of the fire trucks. Photo Lakeland College

Under beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures the Goodlife Institute held their Art in the Park 2022, at the Vermilion Heritage Park on September 10.

The event was sponsored by InterPipeline which enabled the organization to offer free cinnamon buns and lunch.

Throughout the day they served 350 lunches provided by Lasting Impressions Catering and 360 free cinnamon buns.

“InterPipeline’s continuous support

Art In The Park

was a huge contribution to today’s success and we’re very thankful for it,” commented the organization on their Facebook page.

The ever popular event was the place to be as they had 25 vendors, and 75 artists making it a very successful artisan market. Attendees also had an opportunity to enjoy live musical entertainment courtesy of Alberta Culture Days Grant.

An Art Creation Class was also offered in the morning from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and again in the afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4

p.m. and was taught by Monica To. On site for the day was the Alberta Man Van which was sponsored by InterPipeline. The Man Van provided gentlemen of the area the ability to receive a free PSA test which can help diagnose prostate issues or cancer, if over the age of 40, as well as a mental wellness check, glucose check, waist circumference check, and blood pressure check.

“We had over 600 people come through today and it was wonderful seeing our

community out for a great day and appreciate our volunteers, art instructor, participants, and sponsors,” commented the organization.

One of the artists at the event was Michelle Lake from Lloydminster. Lake has been painting professionally for 20 years and is currently developing an art course which she is hoping to launch around the end of November. The course will be offered through her website michellelakeart.com once it has launched.
