Lakeland College held an Open House Oct 21-22, sharing their 109 year history and many new industry advancing courses both in Vermilion and Lloydminster.

Training Officer, Brian Burnell said at the Emergency Training Centre, students can receive international certification.

“Not all fire schools offer the level of hands on training that we have here.

The fire training school has been around approximately 65 years and people recognize the prestigious certificate; they know the quality that comes from here,” said Burnell. “It’s one of the few jobs you can go home and say you saved a life today.

It’s not about being a hero; it’s about serving the public and helping people,” said Burnell.

He said they have the only fire program in Canada that offers a diploma. Because the classes are smaller things are streamlined in such a way where a few of the various programs at Lakeland can offer opportunities for students to receive the same certification in less years of training.

One person tried on the equipment saying how heavy it was; Burnell said it is approximately 65 lbs. with the breathing tank.

High school student Kyler Zazula (from Willingdon) said his brother is an Alumni and he is interested in trades (most likely welding) or firefighting. On the tour students got to try welding their initials and Alex Ionetz (from Two Hills) said the college is close to home and the small community atmosphere is appealing.

Interior Design students Hailey Hudon (2nd year) and Tyra Simmons (1st year) said coming from small towns in Saskatchewan that Lakeland College really appealed to them being they would have more of an opportunity to connect with their classmates and instructors.

They said there is a friendly environment, great instructors and they are part of an award winning program. A larger project for the second year students includes a material selection, technical aspects of mechanical and construction, as well as using AutoCAD to create 3D renders of their projects. During their practicum they

said they will get additional hands on experience before they are thrown in to the work force. Simmonds liked the creativity, while Hudon liked the technical aspects.

High school student Raeanna Krahn (from Two Hills) said, “I like that there are so many options to choose from. Today I came only knowing a couple things, and now I know that there are so many opportunities out there.”

Bachelor of Agriculture Technology Degree students Breanna Elder and Mackenzie Devinis said they came to Lakeland College for the hands on learning and came back for the tight knit atmosphere.

“Ag technology is definitely important because this is the future of agriculture,” said Elder who added that the program is in its second year and is the only agriculture technology course of its kind. “When you go to school to become a nurse, at the end of the day you are a nurse. In Agriculture, there are so many jobs you can do.

The agriculture industry is currently in a shortage. We always have to feed people so you will always have a job in agriculture.“ She noted that over 20 per cent of

their class does not have an agriculture background.

So far they have learned about livestock and how to keep a herd together, equipment and GPS troubleshooting, and did a drone training day with an option for certification.

“Variable rates are becoming a big thing because it saves on inputs and cost, and helps with soil health which leads to sustainability which is a big thing right now,” said Devenis.

Variable rates she said help determine where one part of a field may need more of something than another part.

High school student Karson Rowe also from Two Hills said, “My mom was on the rodeo team so that’s a contributing factor but it is nice to go to a college where you can keep up with your hobbies.”

Several recreational clubs were advertised on the Vermilion campus.

Overall anyone attending Lakeland College was happy to show why they’ve had such a wonderful experience, and newcomers were happy to learn about the facilities and what all was offered.

Masonic Lodge #24 Sponsors

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

W i t h a l o n g 118 ye ar h i s to r y i n Vermilion, members of the Masonic Lodge have built a history of locally suppor ting wor thy community projects. O ctober 17 was just another show of their c o mmitment to help suppor t locally organized projects when they presented a $1,000 cheque to the Vermilion FOCUS Transportation Services (FTS) as a yearly sponsorship to the program.

“We were approached by Rob Snow and had a presentation on sponsoring the vehicle to help make the service more affordable for those that need it. We are hoping to lead the way for other people, organizations, and businesses to join in and help sponsor the vehicle. By sponsoring the FTS it helps bring the cost down so people

can have a ride to Edmonton for example, to a medical appointment, treatment and stuff like that,” commented Masonic Lodge #24 member, Graham Groucott. “Honestly I don’t know why more local businesses are not doing it because it is an excellent form of adver tising and is 100 per cent tax deductible; hopefully we will be the leader of many more to come.”

F T S S p e c i a l Pr o j e c t s Pr o g r a m Director Dawn Riley was especially grateful to the organization for sponsoring the vehicle. “ This is our first yearly sponsorship and I am very grateful, excited, and appreciative for their suppor t.

Other businesses have donated to our adopt-a-ride program, but this is our very first yearly sponsorship. Any business or individual can donate to or sponsor the program, and by doing

so, it really helps us make this very important service more affordable for the people we serve,” explained Riley.

FO CUS E xe c ut i ve D ire c tor Ro b Snow went on to explain that anyone can donate or sponsor the program or can donate directly to their adopt-aride program.

“The adopt-a-ride program donations go directly toward helping people that can’t afford to pay for their trips.

Whereas just donating to the program itself helps pay for administration cost, fuel, etc., Our adopt-a-ride is really good because if someone can’t afford the cost to go to Edmonton for example, they tell us and the adopt-a-ride will immediately pay half of it and if they can’t afford that we will sit down and figure out what they can afford, it’s still a fee for service, but we get you there no matter what. We have

accessed the adopt-a-ride several times where people can’t get to their appointments so we will pay through the adopt-a-ride program.

Vermilion Town Council

Angela Mouly Reporter

The Vermilion Town Council had two delegations during their meeting on October 18; one regarding broadband and the other was an update from the Airport Advisory Committee.

Councillor Robert Pulyk was sworn in as Deputy Mayor for the months of November and December.

As for the Vermilion broadband build update, construction director Lloyd Linkewich said, “It’s been a bit of a journey and we are almost across the finish line.”

On November 1, Alberta Broadband Networks (A-Net) plans to launch and host a ribbon cutting, and said Primus will also announce their plans for television, internet and phone services in the community.

Ken Spangler said, “It’s a big day for our partner Distributel and A-Net and the Town of Vermilion.”

After dividing the town into seven areas, they have been installing fibre throughout the past couple months; some areas are complete while others they are still working on. They had 520 interested parties in Vermilion; 79 of those they said were commercial properties. As of October 18, they said 48 drops had been installed, and they will work to complete 5-7 drops per day in residential areas.

“I think you guys have done a wonderful job, and I think after November 1, you will be overrun with a lot of interest,” said Mayor Greg Throndson.

Because access will already be there, they noted that drops can be made free of charge next year as well.

The Vermilion Airport (CYVG) was discussed by Airport Advisory Committee members Larry Bingham and Geoff Hancock. Their objectives were to show how the airport should be considered vital infrastructure, discuss the current conditions, and to demonstrate that the airport should be viewed as a catalyst for future

economic growth.

Bingham referenced a letter of support from Darlene McQuid, Area Manager for Alberta Health Services in the County of Vermilion River.

“In it she explains when and why air is quite an essential service, saying time is precious and in some cases MedEvac is the way to do it. Fixed wing aircraft are able to travel faster; there are various advantages, sometimes they can fly above bad weather, and they can fit the necessary medical staff and equipment onboard,” said Bingham.

“For neonatal transport, an entire neonatal team is dispatched to stabilize and then provide support throughout transport bringing their specialized incubators, oxygen provision equipment, monitors, etc.; equipped at the same level as an intensive care ward. Fixed wing transport is also used for transporting more stable patients for long distances such as Ponoka and Red Deer which would require a ground ambulance and its crew to be out of this community and therefore unavailable to local residents for several hours. It is also more fiscally efficient for extensive distance. Fixed wing ambulances require designated airports and airstrips to take off and land at to bring this life-saving advantage to our community and complement the services of the rotor wing ambulances,” read McQuid’s letter.

Hancock said the immediate concern is the continued heaving of the runway.

“We have an excellent base but there is heating and cracking to the surface. If left alone, AHS could decide that MedEvac would no longer be able to land here,” said Hancock.

“We need to continue crack filling and we need to move towards a lift of pavement and geotechnical survey to see if the base is sufficient.”

The 2019 Master Plan outlined that resurfacing should be done by 2024.

Bingham said an example of a similar sized surface approved last year was in Drumheller costing $1.5 million, while Wetaskiwin had a much larger surface area which cost $2.1 million. The Community Airport Program Fund covers 75 per cent by the province, leaving 25 per cent to the municipality.

The length of the runway is only a moderate concern, in that a King Air 250 can functionally land, but extra length Hancock said would certainly be an advantage because they can only come in when the weather is really good. Visuals are another moderate concern. They noted the lighting is still in good condition, but said the potential advancement of a GPS approach would allow MedEvac pilots to come in from different angles avoiding the ‘awkwardly placed’ elevator at the end of the runway.

As for adding to the economy they said according to a 2017 COPA impact study, the 11 local aircraft based in town and five in the surrounding county each can generate half a full time employment or up to $42,000 provided to the annual economy. Other spin off benefits include visitors going downtown to have meals or stay in a hotel. They said a doctor has been travelling this way and not only do they contribute to the community but their patients do as well.

For future economic development, they raised a number of ideas including attracting aircraft from Lloydminster saying there is significant demand and costs wouldn’t be so great. Bingham said several schools in western Canada offer education for various careers in aviation but most do not offer what he would call a full package of training including avionics, business management, commercial pilots, etc.

“We are coming up to a dramatic shortage of pilots in Canada,” said Hancock.

Along with a few other aviation busi-

nesses, there is flight instruction offered in Vermilion for beginners and some advanced night ratings, etc., but they would like to see the scope of what can be offered grow by building potential relationships with Lakeland College or advancing facilities at the airport.

Other ideas included commercial service and maintenance business (if the runway condition is improved), skydiving, a residential airpark, or a distribution centre for drone delivery.

“As a paramedic for 22 years, I always enjoyed seeing the MedEvac. It kept my crew off the roads and sometimes they had been driving for 12 hours so it was a life saver not only for the patients but for emergency services as well,” said Counsellor Robert Snow.

Councillor Paul Conlin said, “As budget season is looming I hope we can add some of the airport’s needs in as well.”

As for other business under community services they noted that there will be an individual addressing the beaver problem, they will be putting netting on the north side of the outdoor rink, and they are looking at purchasing another speed sign. They will also have an arborist see whether or not they can mitigate the roots lifting the path along Beckie Scott Trail.

Brian Leibel said the $5 per month found on utility bills would replace the local improvement taxes and will go to support improvements to roads and sidewalks.

One of the advantages of this soups is you can use tougher, less expensive cuts of meat, even stew beef. Just cut the meat up into cubes from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch in size. This soup would also work well using moose, elk or buffalo meat.

Barley is a good source of fiber, beta glucan, molybdenum, manganese, and magnesium. Barley is a low glycemic grain, that does not easily spike blood sugar. Pearl barley has

Onions and garlic are good sources of chromium for blood sugar balance and the sulfur compounds needed for our detox pathways. Carrots are a great source of vitamin A for our eyes and lungs. Celery contains at least twelve different anti-oxidants that have shown to protect our cells, blood vessels and organs. Celery is anti-inflammatory, calming to the ner vous system and hormone balancing. A bowl of homemade soup is full of nutrients and goodness your whole body will appreciate.

It was in November 1931 when C.L. Whitby heard something at his window.

At the time, he was the manager of the Bank of Commerce in Vermilion. The clucking sound perplexed him.

When he opened his eyes, he found there was a prairie chicken on the sill of his open window.

The chicken then hopped in, onto his bed, walked across his feet and when Whitby moved, became startled and started running around his room until it finally dropped exhausted in the corner.

Whitby picked it up, put it to the window

and it immediately took flight. For other with its life. people, since it was The Great DepresWas it the same chicken, out to find sion, that prairie chicken would have been him again? Not likely but who knows. a gift and a very tasty supper that evening.

The Vermilion Public Library will be hosting their AGM on October 26, and it is open to the public. There they will discuss concept plans for a potential elevator at the facility. Although it is very preliminary, they will discuss potential locations and how much it would cost. Modifications

completed on the outdoor steps now allow scooter access to the upstairs portion of the building, so the potential elevator would allow access to the basement meaning the opportunity to take in other library and community functions.

On October 24, they will begin their Fall Funding Drive for Library Programs.

Throughout the coming weeks, donors will have the opportunity to enter a draw for four canvas prints of Vermilion history that were provided by Long’s Value Drug Mart.

The Fallen Limb

A limb has fallen from the family tree.

I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.

The good life I lived while I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.

Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.

Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.

Continue traditions, no matter how small.

Go on with your life, don't worry about falls I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.

Until the day comes we're together again.

Derina Harvey Performs Powerful Performance

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

Derina Harvey is the youngest in a musical family that has played in numerous local festivals and charitable events. She started performing on stage when she was just five years old and is from Wabush, Labrador.

When in high school she played in choirs and band and after graduating she attended a Music Industry and Performance Program at the College of the North Atlantic from 1998 to 2000, where she met her best friends.

Harvey states that, “one by one we found ourselves in Edmonton, and the group of us worked in the industry, working sound production, lighting, teaching music lessons, instrument and audio sales, and management all while performing in different performance and recording projects.

She went on to explain that while she was performing as a solo artist at one of her East Coast Themed venues the manager needed a band on short notice, so she formed a band made up of her friends back in 2006.

Angela Mouly

“I’ve had the privilege of playing with my friends, some have had to move along a different path, and currently the Derina Harvey Band is made up of Steve Pinsent, on drums, Scott Greene- Electric Guitar/Harmony Vocals, Edward Smith-Bass/Harmony Vocals, Jessica Blenis-Fiddle/Harmony vocals and myselfAcoustic Guitar/Lead Vocals,” said Harvey.

When asked how (she) would describe her music Harvey commented, “I’d say we have an energetic, heartfelt celtic rockshow full of your favourite celtic covers and traditional tunes that we hope will transport you to a windswept coastline. The Derina Harvey Band is a five piece celtic rock band and all our members are originally from Canada’s east coast. We will bring you an authentic kitchen party complete with original songs all layered with harmonies, driving rhythms and soaring solos both electric guitar and fiddle! Ballads, and shanties, stories through songs all wrapped up in a few laughs… maybe a few tears… and we’ll be sure to have a few more laughs before we send ya home.”

On Sunday, October 16 the Derina Harvey

Band presented by the Vermilion Allied Arts wowed the 120 attendees at the Alumni Theatre at Lakeland College in Vermilion with an afternoon of Celtic and Maritime music which was described as second to none with her powerful voice and her very talented band members on their instruments and providing backup.

“People won’t soon forget Derina Harvey singing O Danny Boy accompanied by the guitarist who slid onto the piano bench and showed his amazing touch and skill,” commented Keri Pullyblank. “Derina Harvey’s charming Atlantic Canada warmth and genuineness and her addressing the audience members as ‘my darlin’s’ created a comfortable and affectionate audience response and involvement. For those who missed this performance, if you ever get a second opportunity to enjoy this band, don’t miss out a second time. Derina and her band members are all very accomplished musicians who don’t disappoint.”

The Derina Harvey Band have been nominated for, Artist to Watch 2016-Edmonton

Music Awards, and awarded Best Showcase 2017-Arts North West, Booking Conference Tacoma, WA, USA, and People’s Choice 2018-Edmonton Music Awards.

LLOYD SPCA TILO AND EMMA Meet Tilo and Emma, they are a bonded pair that we have had in the shelter for quite a while. We have lowered their adoption fee to $250 for both of them.

They are huge love bugs who would do great in a home with a large fenced backyard or on an acreage. They enjoy the company of other dogs but require a home with no cats or livestock as they have a high prey drive. Tilo and Emma are full brother and sister, Tilo is 4 and Emma is 3. They must go to a home together as they both get anxiety when separated from each other. If these two big sweethearts seem like a good fit for your home then be sure to contact the shelter!

You have to know what your boss wants if you expect to do your job correctly.

Romantic relationships could be under pressure. You can make major accomplishments while on short trips.

You have a tendency to think that no one else will do things properly. You will be able to find the perfect outfit, and the greatest new accessory for your house.

LEO

AQUARIUS

Family members will not be happy with the amount of time you are spending away from home. You will be able to get your own way if you use your intellectual charm and know how.

VIRGO

Use your charm, but don't be phony. Secret affairs will come back to haunt you. You could make extra cash through creative hobbies.

8

Your words will be taken out of context if you're evasive with coworkers or employers. Opportunities for romance may develop through dealing with groups that have a purpose.

Be sure to pay attention to your bank account. Your mate will be pushing you to do things that you really don't want to do. Money can be made if you use your ingenuity.

PISCES

You are best not to retaliate if members of your household are trying to pick a fight. Be prepared to lose friends or alienate loved ones due to your stubborn nature lately.

SCHOOL NEWS

The Vermilion Voice | October 25, 2022

St. Jerome’s Catholic School News

Anna Svenungard Submitted

Spartans have been feeling blessed these past few weeks with such beautiful fall weather. Students of all ages have had the opportunity to take their learning out into our community! Our Phys Ed 10 class got to learn scuba diving skills at the Lakeland Aquatic Centre. Mr. Martin described the eerie feeling he got as he looked out over the pool, and all he could see was bubbles… What a wonderful experience for these students. Last Wednesday, Grade 5S visited a wetland at the provincial park. Mrs. Snider’s niece, and wetland expert Jessica, guided the class on an exploration of a wetland ecosystem.

Students used magnifying glasses, nets, and small containers to collect samples of the water. They caught bugs, minnows, and even a baby dragonfly! Students recorded their learning in field notebooks, before releasing their “findings” back into their wetland home.

The classmates agreed that the “fishing” was the best part of the trip. We are grateful that the community of Vermilion understands the proverb “It takes a village to raise a child.”

Learning always seems to “stick” better when it’s sweet! That was the perfect teaching strategy for grade 3 teacher Mrs. Riedel to employ as her students continued their study of rocks and minerals in science. Students enjoyed making “dirt” in science class! Using Oreos, chocolate chips, graham crumbs, pudding, Oreo crumbs and gummy worms, they created the layers of dirt and a delicious treat! Who knew dirt could taste so good?!?

We always love to celebrate the holidays! And Halloween is no exception! Kindergartens and their Grade 4 buddies enjoyed time together painting pumpkins. Teachers and students at STJ would like to say a huge THANK YOU to Kris Jacula for growing and donating pumpkins for each child in grades 1-5. Kris, your kindness and generosity embody what it means to be a part of the “St. Jerome’s

Family.” Thank you for lighting up hundreds of children’s faces and for helping us celebrate Halloween, country style!

Our Faith in Action Team (FIAT) has rebranded themselves this year. The former FIAT Team will now be known as…. “The Faith Squad!” Students in grades 6-9, that want to help our school embody its Christian values, voted on the name change and it was unanimous! Our Faith Squad had a movie “night” after school together last Friday. It was an opportunity for members to get to know one another better, as they work together to serve others for God. Our yearly Scholastic Book Fair ran from Oct. 11-14th. Thank you to the students and families that purchased books, with proceeds earned going towards new books in our school library! It was no small feat organizing and pulling off this Jungle themed literary party… A big thanks to our school librarian, Mrs. Jackson, and her pack of wild helpers: Miss. Heinrich, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Fillier, Mrs. Crate, and Mrs. Krys!

Lastly, it is with a heavy heart that we end the St. Jerome’s Catholic School News this week with a tribute to the late Larry Wasylik.

He was a huge supporter of St. Jerome’s, and Catholic Education, having been a trustee with ECCS for 25 years. Thank you, Larry for all that you have done, you have always been our friend and neighbour in Christ.

Up & Coming: -Friday, November 4th- St. Jerome’s Remembrance Day Service -No School for Students November 7-11 (Fall Break/Remembrance Day).

St. J Kindergarteners and their Grade 4 buddies enjoyed time together painting pumpkins!
