Angela Mouly Reporter

On September 28, dignitaries gathered at Lakeland College in Vermilion for the Grand Opening celebration of the WHT Mead Building.

At 35,214 square feet, the building will house work spaces for more than 600 students in Agricultural Sciences, Environmental Science and Human Services; it is replacing a structure built in 1964. Dean of Agricultural Sciences Geoff Brown said, “The previous building served us well but there has been drastic c hanges in the agriculture industry and classroom techniques.

We have seen explosive growth in Ag sciences with of over 200 per cent increase in enrolment over the past 12 years.”

Board Chair Adam Waterman

thanked the Alberta Government for their $17.3 million grant which made the project possible, as well as community partner Synergy Credit Union for donating $150,000.

MLA Garth Rowswell read a message from Premier Kenney and the Minister of Advanced Education saying, “Investments like these are so much more than brick and mortar, it is an investment of the future and prosperity of the people. This marks a new era of agricultural sciences and expanded learning opportunities locally, nationally, and internationally.”

William Mead (whom the building is named after) graduated in 1927 and was inducted into the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame in 1989.

Classrooms feature both lecture halls and collaboration spaces, and the

building also houses faculty offices.

Student Managed Farm – Powered

by New Holland (SMF) headquarters are also in the building, so students fr o m t h e a n i m a l s c i e n c e te c h n o l ogy and crop technology strains who manage Lakeland’s crop, livestock and researc h units c an utilize the planning space to run their operations.

The new Animal Health Clinic at the college alleviated the need for a lot of the lab spaces that were previously housed in the Mead building, meaning no more congestion in the halls when class lets out.

Brown said that the specially designed spaces and technology in the building will allow for a shift in people’s teaching styles with some instructors annotating on tablets for their notes to come up on the board, as well as

blended programming and the ability to run hi-flex meetings (which would mean offering both online and in-person at the same time). He said the collaborative spaces will really allow visual learners to use critical thinking and teamwork skills.

AHT instructor and program head as well as academic chair of Ag Sciences, Breanne Bellwood, said, “We can turn a lecture into more of a collaborative group work style, and we can be a lot more flexible with our course delivery.”

Second year AST student, Scot t Standeaven is the leader of the SMF Dairy Unit, and has people on his team all the way from B.C. to P.E.I. said his first year consisted of general Ag, but this year is a lot more immersive with smaller class sizes of 20-30 students.

Ferguson worked on a bison feed lot for three years prior and really developed an interest for them and wanted to expand her knowledge by coming to Lakeland. Being the first year with a bison SMF, she is its current leader.

“Today’s celebration is about more than classrooms. It’s about ensuring our students have the facilities to

learn and collaborate, to build foundational skills and grow their expertise to go beyond the classroom and put their education into action. It’s about ensuring our graduates are read y to thr ive an d dr ive innovation as leaders throughout commercial agriculture sectors, creating a sustainable future for this vital industr y and our region,” said Lakeland College president and CEO, Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart.

Vermilion Realty Ribbon Cutting

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

On September 29, the Town of Vermilion welcomed a new business to the Vermilion business community.

Doug Charlesworth who is a local and well known realtor in Vermilion and surrounding communities took a leap of faith when he became a new Real Estate Broker after years of hard work and dedi-

cation to the field. Charlesworth opened Vermilion Realty located at 4932 50th Avenue in Vermilion (formerly the Pet Boutique and Spa building) in July and since has been growing his new business quite successfully.

“I have been so pleased with the welcome I have been given since opening the brokerage. It is a lot of hard work, but I love what I do and I am excited

to continue serving the families, businesses, and clientele of Vermilion and area who are looking to sell or purchase a property for years to come,” commented Charlesworth. “I am licensed in residential, commercial and land therefore I can represent all clients for their buying and selling needs. “I am so thankful for the support of my past and current clients, I couldn’t have done this without the

support and trust I have received and I want to express a very humble thank you.”

On hand for the ribbon cutting and plaque presentation was Charlesworth’s wife Amy and their two children Chloe and Duncan as it is family owned business.

Acting Deputy Mayor Kirby Whitlock, Councillor Joshua Rayment , and Councillor Kevin Martin, as well as Manager Leanne Martin from the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce, and Economic and Development Officer for the Town of Vermilion Mary Lee Prior.

D e p u t y M ayo r, K i r by W h i t l o c k , commented how wonderful it is to see Vermilion continuing to grow.

“It is so great to be able to welcome Vermilion Realty to our community, and to see Vermilion continuing to grow at the rate it has been. Over the past couple of years we have seen many new businesses open here in Vermilion, and that shows that Vermilion is an up and coming community that has many things to offer. It shows that Vermilion is a town where people want to put down roots and that says a lot for our community. With the opening of Doug’s new Realty Brokerage it provides the people of Vermilion and surrounding area another choice for who they would like to represent them in their buying or selling needs,” commented Whitlock.

Kuk Sool Won Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Local martial arts school, Kuk Sool Won, celebrated their 10th Anniversary in Vermilion this September.

They offer children a safe place to exercise, practice and learn while sharing the traditional Korean discipline. Together they learn empty hand techniques, kicking, how to throw, how to fall, acrobatics, and weapons all while in the control of a safe environment.

The school has had 238 students through their doors. Collectively between all of the instructors (Morgan Freeman, Sa Bum Nim; his wife Emma Freeman, Pu Sa Bum Nim; and Sean Meir, Jo Kyo Nim)

they have 65 years of experience.

“Throughout the past 10 years, I’ve had so much fun. I’ve made a lot of friends and long time relationships. We feel like we’ve really been accepted by the community,” said owner Morgan Freeman.

He went on to say that their martial arts family has become like a tighter little community because when they train together, they learn a lot about one another - including Jun Shin (which means the attitude of not giving up or mental fortitude).

Through the years they said their school has grown in spurts, for example, COVID had a massive impact on class sizes. This year however, they are

very happy with the number of children trying it out, and could use some more in their adult class.

“We love being back in person and are so excited to keep going,” said Freeman. “I had some in the United Kingdom, but this is the longest I’ve ever had a school open. This is a milestone for us. It’s important to us because it shows our commitment to the community; by providing a safe, healthy space for children to learn an important skill set that in turn helps with every aspect of their life.”

Attending regular classes at the LCOL W.C. Craig Armoury Historical Society, he said can help you learn how to learn. For

example, he has often had children with learning difficulties who have found better focus in the classroom, and others who built skills to reduce stress and pressure during exams.

“You can’t beat the smiles and excitement on their faces when they complete a skill properly,” said Freeman. “I’d really like to thank Don Henry, Jim Storch and the LCOL W. C. Craig Armoury Historical Society because without them, Kuk Sool Won wouldn’t be in Vermilion.

Kuk Sool Won runs all year, and they are always willing to take new students.

It has been a beautiful fall this ye a r a n d h a r ve s t conditions were ideal. Farmers are especially happy and thankful to bring in the harvest, and I am thankful for the work that farmers do to feed us all.

The Thanksgiving harvest celebration often centers on the “feed us all” aspect, with turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy and pumpkin pie, high on the list of traditional favourites. This pumpkin pie recipe has always been a family favourite that has been extremely well tested, and often requested. It is wonderful to be able to gather. Many blessings to you and Happy Thanksgiving.

Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving

Plain Pastry Crust for double crust 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup lard (not shortening) 1/2 teaspoon salt 3-4 tablespoons iced water Put the lard and the flour into a bowl, cut or flake the lard using a knife, or a fork, or your fingers or a pastry blender to work the lard and the flour together. Add 3 tablespoons of the iced water into the flour mixture and gently mix until moistened. Once the water is added do not over mix or your pastry will be tough. Divide the mixture into two balls and roll each ball of pastry out to fit a 9” pie pan.

Filling 4 large eggs 1 large can of pure pumpkin 796 ml 1 can of homogenized evaporated milk 1 1/4 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/8 teaspoon allspice In a large bowl whisk the eggs, then add the rest of the ingredients, stir until well blended, pour the mixture into two 9” pastry or graham wafer pie shells.

Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes then at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes.

The pie is done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool and serve with whipped cream or ice cream. You can make a day ahead, and store in the refrigerator.

Instead of the canned pumpkin you can make your own pumpkin puree by boiling the peeled flesh of a pumpkin (no seeds) until tender. Drain well and mash with a potato masher or puree in a food processer or blender. Use 3 ¼ cups of pumpkin puree to make up the equivalent of the one large can.

There are so many things to be thankful for, and thanksgiving gives each of us a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how truly blessed we are.

Counting our blessings increases our understanding of our own happiness. When we are thankful: we are happy. “A happy hear t does good like a medicine” and like this ancient wisdom, we each have our own best medicine inside us.

Cranberry Sauce In a saucepan combine 2 ½ cups frozen or fresh cranberries, ½ cup w a t e r a n d 1/ 2 c u p m a p l e s y r u p.

Cook on low heat, occasionally stirring, breaking up some of the berries when cooked with the back of the s p o o n . R e m o ve f r o m h e a t w h e n thicken and slightly reduced. Serve warm or cold. This can also be used as a jam on toast. It’s very healthy and tasty.

What Elon Musk’s New Human Robot Reveals About the Future of Robotics

Braxton Hoare Columnist‍

In the future, will robots be our ove r l o r d s o r o u r servants? Recent media portrayals of artificial intelligence and robotics tend towards the sinister side of things: AI is going to take our jobs, and probably end humanity. It’s true that much of what we see about robotics is ominous. But that’s because there aren’t a lot of articles out there that look at the other side of things: how robotics and artificial intelligence are poised to change everything from factories to personal assistants and more.

In fact, these innovations have already started reinventing things like surgery and trucking. And with recent announcements

by Elon Musk, it seems like their potential is only just beginning to be realized.

Musk unveiled Tesla’s new robots recently at AI day 2022, and plans to release them as consumer products in the future. These robots will resemble an average man in their build, but will look plastic and shiny rather than attempt a recreation of human skin and features.

Elon Musk’s vision is to have these robots operate entirely on their own, managing day to day chores for the people who own them. But with a price tag estimated to be

around $20,000 it’s difficult to imagine a world in which these become commonplace.

Musk plans to make the Tesla bot the first robot designed for manufacturability, and believes that the robot assistant market will be as big or bigger than the automotive industry. For now there is still quite a lot of work that needs to be done, given the tasks their robots are capable of are quite limited. Currently, Tesla’s robot is just barely capable of walking, waving, and picking up objects, which puts it behind its most obvious competitor, Boston Dynamics. However, Boston Dynamics is quite limited compared to

Tesla in its ability to manufacture quickly.

Tesla as an electric car company has built some of the most advanced manufacturing facilities in the world. I have no doubt that Elon Musk could lead the Tesla teams to build a manufacturing line just as efficient as the one he built for the vehicles.

If Elon Musk’s vision comes to pass we could be living in a very different world less than a decade from now, with robots doing most jobs requiring manual labor.

With the same business plan that Tesla used with its vehicles it’s likely that the price of these machines will only go down over time.

Oh, home on the range I’ve watched a lot of television from the comfort of my sofa lately. Convalescing from a broken foot and COVID-19 can do that to a person. All that I saw was entertaining, in one way or another, but a few movies really stood out.

My husband is fond of old westerns, and I’ve suffered through a few shoot ‘em up episodes without too much complaint.

However, we agreed the one we saw recently was both improbable and hilarious. It was filmed in the 80s and I have to tell you about it.

The hero, who shall remain nameless, is pitted against a group of blood-thirsty cattle rustlers. Three local ranchers, outfitted in brand new Stetsons, immaculate sheepskin jackets, and highly

Craig Baird Columnist

Vermilion was not a place that you would consider to be “Wild West” but there were some times that things got a bit rowdy in the community. What is a little history without some wild times?

For Vermilion, it was very early in its history on Dec. 6, 1915 when a dance got a bit out of hand, and some guns came out. Thankfully, it wasn’t an OK Corral situation and no one was killed but it still left its mark on the minds of the people who were there.

It was at the school house where a box social was being held and as things

polished cowboy boots, clomp into the sheriff’s office to complain that someone is stealing their best beef cattle, and the law has done nothing.

As the sheriff rubs his grizzled jaw and leans back in his old wooden chair to contemplate this serious matter, the scene shifts. We see a barren, hilly pasture where two bad guys rev motorbikes, and a third, evil-looking fellow starts the throaty engine of a tractortrailer unit parked along a deserted dirt road.

Suddenly, a helicopter appears over the horizon! It’s spotted a small herd of likely-looking cattle and radios coordinates to the ground crew, who fly into action. (As if all this wouldn’t catch the attention of ranchers concerned about their stock, we move into the second phase of this wild act.)

The motorbikes round up a herd of about twenty head and run them pellmell along a pre-arranged course.

in the face of roaring motorcycles and a helicopter zooming overhead). The truck’s back door is flung open.

Without any form of enclosure to contain the beasts or prevent them from dashing to either side of the vehicle and off into the distance (which is precisely what would happen in real life), the eager animals run willingly up a ramp, pushing and shoving to get inside. The door is slammed shut.

Three gentlemen in white lab coats and shiny rubber boots ascend the ramp holding lethal-looking knives. They disappear within. As the truck bounces across the range, a tumbleweed accompanies a sinister tune, and the motorcyclists announce that the animals will be slaughtered, skinned, eviscerated, hung, dressed, and quartered before reaching city limits.

Sure enough, when the swaying truck pulls up at the depot, two hours away, the back door is again swung wide, the ramp lowered, and the same three men,

still in their pristine white coats and nifty new boots, roll out clean wagons filled with beautifully prepared beef to sell to an unsuspecting public.

Voila. No sweating or swearing as cattle evade the trap; no dust or dirt; no messy business with blood or guts.

Everything is clean, white and goes according to plan. What a scheme!

Question: did the scriptwriters consult with anyone remotely affiliated with raising or butchering cattle? Could they have at least called someone that’s seen a cow before? Apparently not.

And, in my view, this isn’t even the punchline. The final, unbelievable fact was that the prized “beef” cattle were, in fact, a group of highly trained Holstein heifers.

A Shooting To End A Dance

were winding down in the evening, William Johnston and A.M. Spitzer, two men who lived a couple miles apart, but who did not get along, began to argue.

The two men met at the box social but exchanged no words, not unusual for two men who didn’t like each other. As the box social gathering was dispersing, Johnston and his family walked out of the room and reached the steps at the door when Spitzer grabbed him and pulled out his gun. He then fired a shot, which thankfully mostly missed Johnston but did hit him over the ear and left him unconscious on the ground. Of course, that is what the newspaper said, but is that what happened? Read on to the end to see how this story plays out.

Spitzer, realizing what he had just done and possibly thinking he had killed Johnston, took off running and by all accounts according to the newspaper, had not been seen since. It would not be until Dec. 14 that he was finally found and put under arrest where he was put on trial for assault.

The incident was described as such: “The affair created a sensation and some of the women present became hysterical as they did not know whether there would be any further shooting or not.”

The wound was thankfully not serious and Johnson quickly recovered from his wound and was able to attend to his work

without problems soon after.

The story doesn’t end there though, in February during the trial of Spitzer, it was found that Johnson was actually the aggressor and he had a gun on him and had fired two shots and Spitzer had no gun and had fired none. As a result, the charge was reduced to common assault and Spitzer was released on a suspended sentence.

County Contributions To Marwayne Fire Department

Angela Mouly Reporter

The County of Vermilion River (CVR) approved a motion to contribute $462,000 towards a new tanker for the Marwayne Fire Department on September 13. In addition, on September 27, they approved a motion to contribute $50,000 towards the renovation of the Marwayne Fire Hall.

“This is what was needed. We have a commitment to make sure we are willing to put the right equipment in the volunteers hands so they can do what they do so well,” said CVR Reeve Stacey Hryciuk.

Funding for the truck had originally been approved in July, but it was without the GST amount, so the original motion was rescinded and the new one approved.

The County just modified their policy (originally on a 20 year rotation, they now made it a 10 year rotation) and as a result were able to secure some extra funding to modernize the fire hall. The expansion was made in order to house additional equipment including the new tanker. Due to inflation and cost of materials they said

the cost of the expansion completed in 2021 was more than anticipated.

Deputy Reeve Clinton Murray, oversees Division 6 of the County which covers the Marwayne and Tulliby Lake region.

“With a tanker truck, the amount of volume they can move is astronomical.

Marwayne is last on our list to get a tanker truck, and with it they can fill right out of a slough. Marwayne has one of, if not the biggest districts they look after. In the past they weren’t able to put a couple fires completely out because they didn’t have the volume capacity,” said Murray.

Happy to provide a truck bigger than a pumper, they said the icing on the cake was the funding for the expansion. On behalf of the entire council they agreed Alberta Broadband Networks Chief Executive Officer Ken Spangler and Lloyd Linkiewich and said, “Without out our volunteers we Construction Director were in Vermilion on Sept. 23 to present a $500 cheque to The wouldn’t be able to function.

CQ Worldwide Radio Teletype Contest

Don Henry Submitted

The local Sask-Alta radio Club participated in the CQ Worldwide radio teletype contest. The contest started Friday, September 23 at 6 p.m. local time and went for 48 Hours until 6 p.m. local time Sunday Sept 25.

Our station call sign was VE5RI. This call sign is used to honour an ex founding member of our club. Contacts were made worldwide.

I personally made contacts with stations in Europe, South America, Japan and of course in the USA. Over 573 stations across the world participated.

Our station was classified as a M/M –HP. That’s a multi transmitter, multi operator, and high power. Our contest station is located south and east of Lloydminster. This year we claimed a score of 540,155 points with 798 contacts. The scoring is based on how far away the stations are from each other and the number of different radio bands you contact the other stations on. My contact with a rare station from Bulgari increased our score by almost 3,000 points.

Our total score this year was an improvement from last year as the solar cycle sunspot number is increasing; you may have noticed an increase in the Northern lights this year. This

year we had five operators, VA6GWS, Greg Shalay. VA6NJK , Jim Kutz. VE5FF, Gerard Hnatiw. VE5WI, Len Pryor, and myself VE6VAC, Don Henry.

Amateur radio is very much a part of the S.T.E.M programs. You may have heard that S.T.E.M is in many schools. S.T.E.M. stands for science, technology, engineering and math.

Our club will be holding a training class this fall to obtain your amateur radio licence. Our website has more information at https://saskaltarc.ca/ As you can see from the photo, amateur radio is very much the use of radios and computers. Photo submitted.

Holy Name Catholic Womens League Charter #218

Submitted The Catholic Women’s League of Canada was established in 1920 with the objectives of the League being based on spiritual development, the sanctity of life recognition of human dignity and the rights of all people regardless of age, race or social circumstances as well as enhancing the role of women in the Church and society.

These guiding principles are true to the mission of the Holy Name Catholic Women’s League from its Charter on August 10, 1922 until present.

One hundred years ago our League had its beginnings after an enthusiastic group of ladies from outlaying parishes along with women from Holy Name Parish unanimously agreed to establish the Vermilion Subdivision of the CWL. Father H. Gauthier presided at the meeting as well, two CWL members of Edmonton were present to explain the purpose of the League. Officers were elected and Mrs. J.J. Culford became the first president of the Vermilion CWL League.

The first project of the League was a sale in aid of their church building fund – a sale of home cooking, farm produce and poultry. Prices ranged from $.05 to $.25. Tea was served and everyone was welcome. Thus the work of the

CWL in Holy Name Parish began.

During the years of major depression from 1929 to 1939 and World War of 1939 to 1945 the ladies of the CWL worked tirelessly with much inconvenience to make our council what it is today. Bonds of friendship must have been formed as the members welcomed newcomers to the community helped out with new babies, helped bereaved families, and continued to raise much needed funds by putting on bazaars, teas, card parties, bake sales, and foul suppers. The real reward was the bonds of friendship, sharing in prayers, sorrows and happy times.

A new Parish church with a good-sized kitchen and large hall was built during the years between 1951-1961 when Father Landrigan was the parish, Priest. This became the CWL domain for social functions.

Father Keenan came in 1961 and it was during this time prayers of the CWL and Parishioners were answered with the opportunity to have a Separate Catholic School built in Vermilion. The CWL were much involved, more specifically members produced the students, became board members, taught in the system, served on parent advisory committees, and deepened prayer life.

With the Separate School came the further

BTPS Supports Staff On New Curriculum

BTPS Submitted

It has been an exciting return to school for students in Buf falo Trail Public Schools. We are back into our school routines in our classrooms.

This year, teachers across the province will be implementing a new curriculum. The K-3 curriculum for Math, English Language Arts and Literature and K-6 Physical Education and Wellness are new. Parents/Guardians will be able to hear more about this from

their schools and teachers.

BTPS is providing support for our teachers through sessions that began in Spring of 2022 that allowed teachers to dive into the contents of the new curriculum. Throughout the 2022-2023 school year, teachers will continue to have professional learning opportunities to support many components of the new curriculum. BTPS has Innovation Coaches working alongside teachers to support them on creating learning for students that align to the curricu-

lum. In addition, BTPS has purchased numeracy and literacy resources for teachers.

Parents/Guardians and community members who are interested in an overview of what the new curriculum means in our classrooms, are able to view our previous engagement sessions on our website at www.btps.ca.

As we head into a new school year, I want to extend a huge thank you to our BTPS staff for organizing such wonderful back-to-school activities. Between

a ll t h e b ac k- to - s c h o o l m e s s ag e s, pancake breakfasts, barbeques, muffin mornings and extra-curricular activities, our staff have ensured that BTPS students and families are welcomed, supported, and will continue to thrive in our learning environments!

BTPS is proud of the work of our teachers in suppor ting the learning of all students. We strive to improve student learning, in a safe and caring environment, supported by a highly effective team.

WORLD TEACHERS DAY Angela Mouly Reporter

The Vermilion Outreach School (VOS) welcomed visitors to a Muffin Morning on September 29. Students and staff enjoyed visiting with guests and showing them around the school.

“Both the Vice and Superintendent stopped in as well as two board members and it gave us the opportunity to meet some of the parents face to face; it’s always nice to have a face to a name. It’s especially nice to build the connection with the community, and they have a chance to see the spaces where their children work,” said principal Dave Sherbinin. “We offer a full compliment of courses that can help students in their pursuit of an Alberta high school diploma. In terms of the space, we offer a beautiful setting different than a traditional classroom that is open and inviting that allows the students to access education in a different way. It allows them some control over their pace.

They have access to teachers for one on one help but it’s a little less intimidating without the hustle and bustle of a regular school. Everybody learns differently and

VOS Muffin Morning

has their own needs and supports they require. Because we are able to provide some different things and our environment is inviting and friendly, it helps children find some comfort in education which keeps them learning.”

In addition they are currently incorporating the online courses that were previously housed at Dewberry School and re-branding to create a Buffalo Trails Learning Hub that will offer services to youth and adults.

Sherbinin said it’s an exciting new adventure that will offer students more availability and flexibility in their programming.

“The face of education is evolving and we have to be able to change with it.

Coming out of a pandemic has allowed a lot of positives for us; including the ability to look at things differently, finding creative new ways to engage students and support their families as well,” said Sherbinin who is entering his first year as principal at Vermilion Outreach and said the transition has been very positive.

“I look forward to coming to work everyday; the staff are second to none and the students are awesome. It’s exciting to be in a new position and be a learner again - it

allows me to model life long learning.”

Grade 11 student, Kira Jaremco, is in her first year at the school and said, “I like that if you are someone that can get your work done then there is a lot of freedom.

I can manage my time better and work at my own pace, and can always ask a question if I need to. From the first time I came in, I saw that the space is really nice with a variety of work spaces; from high tables to couches, etc. I know it doesn’t work for

everyone, but I know that I am more motivated because if I finish my work sooner, then I have more time to do other things.”

Vermilion Outreach School will also be hosting a ‘Friendsgiving’ event on October 4, where youth will work alongside VIBE Coach, Pat Calyniuk, to prepare a turkey dinner. Sherbinin said the event will allow students to experience a Thanksgiving meal and give them a sense of community and belonging within the school.

Cornerstone Co-op Phases Out Single Use Plastic Bags

Submitted As part of government legislation, Cornerstone Co-op will be preparing to phase out single-use plastic check bags at all their locations this fall. Starting October 24th, plastic bags will no longer be available at the twenty-four Cornerstone Co-op locations.

“We began this journey back in 2019 when we started encouraging reuse by charging 5 cents per plastic grocery bag and donating 3 cents back towards our Bags for Breakfast Program for every reusable bag a member brought and utilized at our food stores,” said Kory Kralkay, Director of Operations. “The

Many hearts are broken and often the grieving is done in silence. The families that have dreams and hopes dashed by the loss through pregnancy or as an infant often are overlooked in their grief. Of ten the communit y does not know or are uncomfortable in supporting them and there are the myths that one only grieves the loss of child that a relationship has been developed with.

A day has been set aside in Canada and the U.S. to remember those families and the little one who has left their family. October 9th to 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Week. October the 15th is the day set aside to honor the families and their special baby.

It is encouraged that each person remembers these families by lighting a candle at 7 p.m. on the 15th as others do all across Canada.

idea was that by bridging recycling with our schools breakfast programs, we can help reduce the collective impact on the environment while increasing our impact on students through nutrition.”

Cornerstone Co-op will continue to allocate donations towards their Bags for Breakfast Program but instead of donating 3 cents from each reusable bag used in store by their owners, 10 cents from ever y reusable bag purchased will be donated back to nutrition programs in our local schools.

Since 2017, over $150,000 has been directed to schools for initiatives that

establish and enhance breakfast and lunch programs for students.

“Last year, we sold over 1.5 million bags,” said Dan Bojarski, Facilities Manager. “That is a lot of non-biodegradable bags that ended up in a landfill. Removing single use plastics from our checkout stands was always the plan and we have sourced appropriate alternatives and processes to make the transition at all our locations.”

Cornerstone Co-op has food stores located in St. Paul, Elk Point, Vermilion, Wainwright, Mannville and Dewberry.

silence around the loss as thousands of families across Canada are mourning the loss of their babies (present loss and losses remembered from the past).This loss is experienced as a result of miscarriage, stillbirth, and death within a year. The experience of pregnancy and infant loss is different for each individual and family but will share some of the same effects, such as depression (sometimes postpartum depression), anxiety, shock, numbness, anger, sadness, fear, guilt, blame, changes in relationship, developing unhealthy coping mechanisms, and sometimes post-traumatic stress disorder and more. These are valid and normal reactions to grief. This loss also af fects grandparents and siblings. Let’s not forget their grief, too.

Remember self care on this journey.

Acknowledge your loss was great and life changing and you have the right to grieve and Mourn. Seek out a trusted friend, c ounsellor, c lergy, suppor t group or one to one support.

Some resources for support are : Alber ta Mental Health, your local Mental Health counsellors, Walking Through Grief Society, The compassionate Friend and other web sites for infant loss.

Phone and online grocery orders will be delivered by the Cornerstone grocery teams via cardboard boxes or containers. Their teams will also be assisting their regular customers in packing their supplied reusable bags in store.

Kindergarten ventured to Chatsworth Farm last week. They learned that fall on the farm is a busy time. Students enjoyed feeding gardengrown cucumbers to the sheep, meeting the bulls Archer and Challenger, seeing the many different crop yields, collecting feathers from the crazy turkeys and, of course, petting all the dogs and kitties. We would like to thank Charlotte and the Wasylik family for taking the kindergarten on a tour of their farm.

Grade 1 used the apples they picked from

Mrs. Marriott’s tree and made apple tarts. Mrs. Page brought in her apple peeler and they chopped up the apples to make a delicious filling. They also read some stories about apples and did an “Apple Tree Life Cycle” craft.

The VES Grade 4-6 Jaguars have been training for a few weeks now. They took part in two cross country races in a week. On September 23, they ran at Riverdale and on September 27 at JR Robson in Vermilion. Great job, kids.

Grade 5 and 6 students partook in a two day blitz of scientific experiments on September 27 and 29. Their topics were air and weather.

Each day, groups of students performed six

experiments. They had to do write-ups on their observations and then report their data. The students had a blast.

VES had the honor of partaking in the BTPS National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 28. In the morning, Kevin John and his mother, Kookum Helen John, spoke to us virtually. In the afternoon, we took a virtual tour of Head Smash-In Buffalo Jump and participated in many classroom activities and games.

Every year, BTPS recognizes any staff member who has worked for their division in increments of five years. Several staff members from VES are being recognized for their years of service this year. Mrs. Prill was with us for 5 years, Mrs. Fuller and Mr. Beecroft for 20 years, Mrs. Heinrich and Mrs. Bykowski

Kindergarten at Chatsworth.

for 25 years, and Mrs. Murie and Mr. Harvey for a whopping 30 years. Congratulations to all of these wonderful individuals. A celebration will be held to honor these VES staff in early October.

VES will be celebrating Halloween on October 31. Parents are welcome to join us for our costume parade at 1:00. We look forward to seeing you. Feel free to dress for the occasion.

St. Jerome’s Catholic School News

St. Jerome’s Annual Fall Supper was a smashing success again this year! We fed over 800 people and it was all possible thanks to the generous donations of food from students, parents, and staff. Not only was all of the food donated, but countless volunteers gave of their time and chopped vegetables, set up tables, sliced desserts, helped in the kitchen, served food and cleaned up.

The tables were beautifully decorated with centrepieces handcrafted by students from kindergarten to grade 5. We need to say a special thank you to Paulette Moir for her dedication in preparing and orchestrating much of the key details of this event. Also, Char Young volunteers her time and talents cooking to help us deliver such a delicious meal. This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year and proceeds go to various causes throughout the school, such as contributing towards various cultural events and guest speakers, funding a portion of classroom supplies, and lowering transportation costs for physical education classes and field trips. All in all, we are grateful and blessed that everyone comes together each year with a giving spirit to support our school.

It was a beautiful fall day for a field trip on September 26th and the grade one classes were ready to take their learning outside!

We travelled to the provincial park to learn about fall seasonal changes in nature. Mrs. Moore, a retired grade one teacher and nature enthusiast, came to share her expertise with students. Peggy Moore took the kids on a nature walk to explore how various seeds travel, collecting evidence of the various types of seeds and sorting them into their different categories as they went.

Ms. Svenungard took the student to see the Vermilion River and search for evidence of beaver activity. We enjoyed a picnic lunch and then had a blast trying disc golf and playing on “new and exciting” playgrounds. All in all, it was a day well spent!

There was a somber tone throughout the halls of St. Jerome’s this past week as we spent time learning and working towards Truth and Reconciliation. Students and staff took the opportunity to recognize and honour the lost children, the Survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. We began each day with a special prayer dedicated to repentance and solidarity with Indigenous Peoples following Canada’s Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Wednesday also brought with it our first in-person Happigram celebration for a few years. Mrs. Molsberry’s grade 5 class performed the song “300 Sleeps” written by Jen Whiffin, who was inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s story. Their singing sounded beautiful and the perfor-

mance ended with students holding up signs reminding us all that “Every Child Matters!”

Students throughout the school read stories, watched testimonials from survivors, and wore orange shirts and ribbons symbolizing our solidarity and support. May there be a greater respect of Aboriginal culture and identity, acknowledging the gift and blessings of who they are as the first peoples of our land.

Some people may be wondering, what is a Happigram? A Happigram is an old tradition at STJ, where teachers in grades 1-5 celebrate one or two students from their class each month with a Happigram certificate. Each class takes a turn performing a play, poem, or song, during the monthly ceremony. After the performance part of the presentation, Mr. Ch a s e c a ll s eac h teacher up, one at a time, to speak to the audience of students and families. Teachers share the special strengths and gifts t hat l ead t h e m to choose that particular student, that month, to receive the prestigious award. The beauty of H a p p i g r a m s i s that students can win one for any number of different reasons, such as leadership skills, kindness, for being a conscientious student, for work ethic, dedication to their Faith, etc. Happigram performances

allow us to welcome families into our school to share our learning and recognize and celebrate the achievements of our students.

We can’t wait to see what Ms. Svenungard’s grade one class prepares for their October Happigram Celebration!

Vermilion RCMP Holds Town Hall

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

Sgt. Mike Dunsmore from the Vermilion RCMP detachment held a Town Hall gathering at the Innisfree Seniors Drop In Centre on September 29. The purpose of the meeting was to provide statistical numbers to the attendees and to provide them with knowledge of the detachments zoning, call volumes etc. He also provided tips on how to help prevent property crimes.

Sgt. Dunsmore began the session by welcoming everyone out to the meeting, explaining the purpose of the event and provided a brief history of his service thus far with the RCMP. “As part of our performance planning we like to reach out to the communities and provide an overview of the things we are doing in our communities and to solicit feedback suggestions or any type of things you would like to share with me for the goal of improving our performance,” commented Sgt. Dunsmore. He explained why he chose to do the meeting in Innisfree as part of their two-part Town Hall meetings. “This year we are doing two of these town hall type meetings with this one

being the first one. I picked Innisfree for this session because it is more centralized to the west side of our detachment area and more central for people who live out here.”

He (Dunsmore) noted that they had already held one in Vermilion and plan on holding a similar event in February of 2023 in the Clandonald area so they can get everybody covered in the detachments zone which falls under the Eastern Alberta District. Sgt Dunsmore presented a map of the detachment boundaries to share with the attendees and explained that out of the Eastern Alberta District they are the busiest.

“Within the Eastern Alberta District we have 27 detachments, we are the largest and busiest of the four districts, we are not the largest in population but we are the largest in size and our call volume is significant,” explained Dunsmore. He then explained the boundaries of the area in which they (Vermilion RCMP) cover.

“Here we are at Innisfree, just on the east side of Ranfurly is our western border, we zig zag down here to touch up against Viking and then we come down and border Wainwright’s area down around township

490 so quite a ways south and over to highway 893 where it divides us between Kitscoty and the Vermilion detachment area.

We go north all the way up to the Elk Point area just about to the river and then there is a little notch in around Derwent and highway 45, so we have a fair size of area.

Within that area we are serving approximately 10 and 11 thousand residents in about 4000 households,” said Dunsmore.

He then shifted his focus to call volumes and commented that the Town of Vermilion represents 38.5 per cent of their calls for service volume, “which isn’t a big surprise as it’s the largest population base in our detachment area.” The Counties of Minburn and Vermilion came in at a close tie at around 26 to 27 percent, with the other two little slices of the pie graph being C21 at 2.9 per cent which is the County of Two Hills as they only look after a very small portion of that area due to zoning.

The other small section of the pie chart revealed a 4.9 to 5 per cent error margin which could account for inaccurate reporting. He also went on to explain the busiest times of the week for call volumes; which oddly enough is Monday mornings and he states is due to events happening over

A participant asked if they found it busier while school is in session and Sgt. Dunsmore replied that he didn’t have the statistics on it but, yes during the college year they do receive a higher number of calls on the Thursday which he relates to being the College kids Friday, “They have their fun in the dorms or at the bar and typically it isn’t anything serious.”

He later spoke on statistics surrounding person crimes and property crimes and ways to help prevent them. He said the categories are broadly defined and are broken down into person crimes, property crimes and other criminal code offenses. The statistics in which Dunsmore presented were from 2018 first quarter to the current first quarter. In person crimes Dunsmore was happy to announce that top of line offenses such as related to death were zero, as well as robbery, and that sexual assaults in the year’s first quarter was down to two in comparison to five the year prior.

“Other person crimes, assaults, and kidnappings are zero, as you can see that the percentage change here from last year is zero per cent,” explained Dunsmore.

Property crimes which are definitely a hot topic in all areas of Vermilion and area were also acknowledged by Dunsmore who said he wasn’t going to sugar coat it, “Its a problem and it’s not unique to Innisfree and it is certainly not unique to the Eastern Alberta District. It’s a problem that is occurring in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, and B.C. Rural crime is the best scenario to go out and commit because there isn’t that many eyes around,” said Dunsmore, who attributes social problems such as addiction as the main cause, “People committing property crimes are typically addicts.”

Break and enters were reporting a 13 per cent decrease, with motor vehicle thefts increasing by 167 per cent from six the previous year to 16 this year. Dunsmore says that generally it is a group of three people who come in one vehicle and then steal two vehicles which they later dump, and then go steal two more, “They go on crime sprees and it is that element which is driving the big jumps from like six to 16,” he said.

Moving on to the next crime that was on the uptick was possession of stolen property which he explained was a good number to go up. The 160 per cent increase in this category shows that people are getting caught with stolen property and are now getting charged for those crimes.

Frauds had a 62 per cent increase overall and he said through the whole COVID pandemic they saw a steady rise in frauds and that the flavour for frauds is targeting the elderly. The Grandparents scam is the most prevalent where someone calls and pretends they are in trouble and needs help from grandma or grandpa, they get pulled into the story and are asked to get Google cards, money, etc.

“This type of crime is difficult to prevent and investigate but we have to help prevent it through education, and sharing this information and looking out for another,” said Sgt. Dunsmore. “We see retailers luckily stopping some of these before they happen, when they recognize a person buying four of these cards for $1000 to send, and we actually had a cashier from Shoppers bring the victim to the station to report it and stop it from happening.”

Most mischief complaints are down, but on average property crime has increased about 50 per cent in this quarter compared to last quarter.

Sgt. Dunsmore said the best way to help prevent property crimes is to have your property locked, well lit, and hedges cut back, and staying diligent, “What we need as a community is eyes and ears.”

The Vermilion Marauders played their first game of the season against Millwoods Christian School in Edmonton on Sept. 15th. The score may not have shown how hard they played, as the Marauders lost 68-8, but considering most of the players are in their first

year of football they learned a lot from their first game. The Marauders then played their first home game of the season on Thursday Sept. 22. Though they lost 87-8, getting all the rookies game experience was a priority against t h e a l way s s t r o n g H a n n a H aw k s .

Unfortunately, the scheduled Sept. 29 home game vs. Provost was cancelled due to a shortage of player s on the other team. Nex t, the team travels to Sedgewick for a game on October 5.

Students participated in the Terr y

The day enabled students to access speakers, sessions, resources and workshops to learn about residential schools, Indigenous peoples, and how we all need to be par t of reconciliation.
