It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Lorna Hamilton Editor

With Christmas just a few short days away, the Town of Vermilion is beginning to look a lot like Christmas with all the festive lights and lawn displays throughout.

As a child, one of the best parts of the Christmas season was when my parents bundled us up, stuck us in the car and off we went looking at all the beautifully decorated houses for the season. I remember the awe and magic I felt as we passed by each house, and to this day it is still one of my most favourite things to do. It just seems to bring me this feeling of cheerfulness and I am happy I managed to keep this family tradition alive with my children,

until they reached their late teenage years when they just weren’t having it anymore, LOL. I do hope they will keep the tradition alive when they have children and they are old enough to enjoy it as much as I did as a child.

If you haven’t had the opportunity yet to take a drive around our beautiful town I encourage you to do so; bundle up those kiddies, grab a hot chocolate, and spend some wonderful family time. Over the past few years, outside Christmas lights and decorations have come a long way and some of the displays have lights that dance in all kinds of movements and flashes, it really can be fun to see and it makes family memories that will last a lifeIreland Farm Equipment tractors are very festive. time.

St. Olga’s Ukrainian Catholic Church hosted a Blue Christmas Service on December 5. Members of the Vermilion & District Ministerial Association each participate and rotate facilities each year.

The Vermilion Voice | December 13, 2022

Blue Christmas

Guests joined in singing carols and ministerial members read scriptures and meditations. They noted that throughout the holidays there may be times of both joy and sorrow and that people can only come to this service as they are. It provided an opportunity for remembering loved ones and giving thanks whether they had been gone a long time or short, whether after long-suffering or no notice. Alva Creech from Creech’s Lakeland Funeral Home and Candice Anderson from Reflections Funeral and Cremation Ser vices assisted guests lighting their candles of remembrance.

Members said that everyone of us has our own situations of grief or loss, and shared messages of hope to uplift them. Some of the members sang carols in Ukrainian and translated them in English as well. There was also a performance by the Community Cantata Choir.

“It ’s not easy for people

who lose family members to celebrate the feast or Christmas holiday without them, and others who lose someone may have nowhere to go. This service is a good reminder that you are not

alone; that others are in mourning and you can share the holiday with someone else,” said Father Roman Kobyletskyy.

They thanked everyone for coming and shared refreshments following the service.

In loving memory

December 17, 1993

Of our Mom and gramma

When tomorrow starts without me please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down, smiled at me, And told me “ Welcome Home.”

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart .

Always remembered and Forever cherished, Dean & Cindy Usenik & family

Reflections Funeral & Cremation Services Holds Candle Lighting

Reporter

Reflections Funeral & Cremation Services held a solemn and meaningful Candle Lighting service on December 8 in reflection of those who had passed. The just over 20-minute-long service featured owner Candice Anderson, employees Jim Storch, Michelle Fiest, and Bethany Jacula.

The service began with Anderson thanking the viewers for attending their Time of Reflection Candle Lighting ceremony.

“We are gathered here for a meaningful moment which we can honour the memories of those who have gone on before us. We are coming into the holiday season and everywhere we turn we get the same message tis the season for

Lorna Hamilton

The Vermilion Voice | December 13, 2022

joy, family, and loved ones and it is, yet for many people, the holidays and the focus of being with loved ones can bring a fresh and painful reminder of the loved ones we have lost and the season of grieving,” said Anderson.

She also went on to speak of how grief is different for everyone and how it can be an unrelenting ache for the reality to be different and for the impossible to come true.

“It is normal to feel lost, confused, anger, anxiety, sadness, and even relief.

Life is complicated and so is death, returning to your everyday life can be a choir in itself. We’re grieving all that we had and all that we shared, we grieve all the important things that they have missed, and will miss. We grieve the future we were supposed to have together, grief is

complicated,” noted Anderson.

Anderson went on to say, “tonight myself and staff will light five candles in total the first four will represent our sadness, our memories, our determination, and our love. The fifth candle we will light with the four previous candles, and invite you to light your candles at home in memory of your loved one.”

Anderson lit the first candle for sadness, Jim Storch lit the candle for memories, Michelle Fiest lit the candle for determination, Bethany Jacula lit the candle for love with the last candle being lit in unison by the four candles.

Anderson and the staff quoted enlightening poems and verses throughout the service, with photos of those who have passed displayed with their names at the end of the service.

Santa Came To Vermilion

Reporter

Good ol’ St. Nick visited Vermilion on December 10 even though the weather was a bit on the chilly side. Vermilion Voice received word from the jolly old elf that he would be completing a walka-bout and that he would be available for pictures for both young and old.

Santa has informed the Voice that he will tr y to make another appearance before Christmas Eve, but it will depend on whether or not the elves have finished all their work and he is

ready for the holidays.

“Hopefully I will be able to make the last appearance, as it helps me check my list twice for the naughty and nice, and it also gives residents one last chance to have pictures of their children, pets, grandmas, and g r a n d p a s , t a ke n b e f o r e t h e b ig d ay,” c o mm ente d Sant a .

He also noted that it can bring some extra cheer to the community, one thing he always looks forward to each year.

Westman Bred Heifer Sale

Angela Mouly Reporter

Westman Farms held their 23rd Annual Bred Heifer Sale at their family farm on December 5.

They have been hosting the sale there since 2018, and part owner Leslie Westman said they had approximately 700 Simmental Angus cross heifers for sale.

They also incorporated 10 blue roans from neighbour Tyson Bellamy to the sale.

Approximately 200 people attended, and some of the buyers had come from as far as Ontario.

Westman runs the farm along with her son Derek and his wife Chelsy and said, “It’s a lifestyle and you either like it or you don’t; it’s really labour intensive from calf to full grown, and when they are grown you still have to look after them. You have

5

to love the animals. Farming teaches young people the facts of living (the life cycle / the life and death of everything), as well as hard work, and that nothing is for free. At the end of the day you are proud of the whole thing; whether producing crop or cattle you are proud of what you’ve achieved.”

She said over the years they have built up the genetics of the cattle, and that Derek is phenomenal at that part knowing the bloodlines of all the cattle. A successful operation needs a good support system of family and neighbours, and she said they are so blessed with all of their extraordinary workers and having had friends help out when needed. You also have to play and enjoy a work/life balance she said, and they were thrilled to and incorporate everyone in their special day. Westman Bred Heifer Sale. Photo Angela Mouly

Christmas Concert At The Senior Centre

Lorna Hamilton Reporter

The Vermilion Town Council discussed new tax rates and potential zoning changes during their meeting on December 6.

The elected officials remuneration policy was reviewed and following discussion a few friendly amendments were defeated.

However, a one friendly amendment was carried unanimously for the policy to be voted on every year instead of every four years. Increases for gas and food allowances had been made although council had taken no actual raise for meeting fees.

“We are in a challenging year dealing with high inflationary costs. Going forward

Town Council

I think we need to recognize that as elected officials we are doing a municipal government job and we should determine what is a fair cost for the work we do for the community,” said Councillor Robert Pulyk.

“There was a time things didn’t change much year to year, but now there is no certainty with what will be received from other governments. We review all other finances annually, so it makes sense to review this annually.”

Council had a discussion surrounding the potential to change the existing Yellowhead Industrial Park to residential lots.

“Anything is possible with development and planning,” said Ben McPhee, Director

The Vermilion Voice | December 13, 2022

of Infrastructure and Planning.

In order to find more residential lots, he said they would have to discuss costs, risks, and timelines, and if they were looking at rezoning the Yellowhead area they would have to update the Municipal Development Plan and Inter-municipal Development Plan. For projects over 40 acres they would also have to create an Area Structure Plan that would detail parks, walking trails, etc.

With the planning taking two years alone and some aesthetic concerns from the highway, he noted that other potential areas for residential development that could begin within a year include North Brennan, the Brennan community gardens which would add 10-12 lots, or Pioneer Park relocating the south two ball diamonds could provide 24 additional lots.

Together they noted that all of the options are costly, and in their strategic plan they determined it was important to keep activities for the community. Some said in previous talks of moving Pioneer Park that the original volunteers were not pleased, others asked about moving all four diamonds, and one option was given for placement across the river.

When asked what the tax base difference was for residential versus industrial, Director of Finance Brian Leibel said, “It depends a bit on the density of the buildings in the area, but the industrial would be a little higher than the residential.”

They had also discussed development in their strategic plan and Councillor Pulyk said, “This is a great thing to bring to everyone’s attention (the cost involved).

It’s complex to be doing a rezoning; it’s a

complete change. No matter what we do we are not going to make everyone happy and the reality is we have one residential lot left. We have to do what makes sense to be cost effective.”

He requested administration give them some timelines, the issues and concerns because if they start attracting industrial businesses they will need space for residential lots as well. Of the projects, McPhee said North Brennan and Yellowhead would be the more costly and long term options.

Leibel introduced the 2023 capital and operating budgets and announced a 4.2 per cent property tax increase. Councillor Joshua Rayment said, “I’m struggling with a 4.2 per cent increase in a single year. It seems like everyone is suffering the same inflation the town is. I realize we need the operational dollars and have sacrificed services, but at this time I don’t feel like I can agree with it.”

Pulyk said it will hurt the community down the road if they don’t keep up to that inflation level. They know the cost of RCMP is going up and he just doesn’t know where they can realistically be cutting any further.

They also noted they would be cutting the $5,000 cost to live-stream the council meetings. Councillor Robert Snow said they had to be practical and conservative.

“We’ve cut that number down by just about half and I think 4.2 per cent is a fair number that gets the bare minimums,” said Snow.

“It may be one of the highest increases in 20 years but we are by far the lowest around,” said Mayor Greg Throndson.

The motion to accept the budget was carried with two opposed.

Obituary - Suzanne Lenora Frissell After living a long wonderful life, on Monday, November 7, 2022, Mrs. Suzanne Frissell passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Wainwright Health Center.

There were cheers at the Islay Hospital on June 8, 1937, when the sweetest little baby girl arrived. Unfortunately her mother was not able to look after her, so within a few months she was adopted by her uncle and moved to Detroit, then soon after to Windsor, Ontario, where her new mom and dad, as well as grandparents, settled down on Garden Spring Road in houses built by her master carpenter grandfather. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world living next door to her grandparents! When her parents were gone to work, the daycare was right next door!! She developed a very special bond with Grandma Edna and Grandpa Fred! They provided an amazing Christian home filled with fun and music that gave Sue a firm foundation. Soon a little brother, Bob, arrived on the scene and Sue loved and adored him beyond measure! She recalled stories of playing ball, riding bikes and of course fun times with the beloved German Shepherd, Tippie.

In 1949, they made their way back to Alberta, settling in Vermilion. Her dad opened a photography studio and it wasn’t long before she was helping in many facets of the business. She could meet with customers, set up appointments, develop and retouch pictures, and she even learned the art of transforming pictures into oil paintings! In her later teen years, she began working for a local lawyer, taking dictation and typing all sorts of legal documents! From time to time, she also travelled with Magistrate Basley to take shorthand and transcribe victim and witness remarks at court cases. Quite a responsibility at such a young age!

Right after graduation in 1955, from Vermilion High School, Sue started working for Canadian Utilities in Vegreville. She quickly moved from junior secretary to senior secretary and even became a teletype operator. She loved her job and the people she worked with, but she spent a lot of time thinking about the new man in her life! Ed, was just beginning his training with Canadian National Railroad, so his “caboose” was hard to catch up to!! Even though he worked at many different stations across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the letter writing and weekend meetings kept the flame going strong! After dating for a few years, they were married in a beautiful ceremony at the Vermilion United Church on April 29, 1959. To this union there were four very well-behaved Frissell children, Sheldon, Michael, Kerry and Tracy. We have no idea why Uncle Duke bought Sue a “bad boy stick”!!

Even though raising four children was more than a full time job, Sue also worked full time at the Alberta Treasury Branch in Wainwright as the secretary for the Branch Manager. She loved her job and even more importantly, made many lifelong friends at the bank. It was also the start of an obsession … coin collecting! Some people never find their “wheelbarrow full of money”, but Sue sure did!! Spending so much time around money gave Sue ample opportunity to teach her children the finer points of budgeting and spending wisely. She was always looking for a bargain, shopping from flyers, and finding ways to be frugal. Her children recall that the powdered milk should have been for cats and buying plain chips to make their own salt and vinegar variety was a little extreme!

Even though Sue was tremendously busy with her family and her job, she did take to the ice and became a very accomplished curler! As if this wasn’t enough, Sue was also a very compassionate community member. Sue often said “A rolling stone gathers no moss”, and she lived by this motto! If she could make a difference, nothing stood in her way! Back during her life in Vermilion, Sue helped her dad with a fundraiser to purchase an iron lung during the polio pandemic. From a young age, she felt an obligation to help others in need! She always had a “servant’s heart” and was an active member for many community groups including CGIT, Kinettes, K-ettes, Band Boosters, Way of the West, Elections Canada, Glee Club, Nazarene Missions International and Nazarene Women’s Ministry, to name a few. Her name was also “Sunbeam” … she enjoyed many hours as a dressed up, face painted clown with the local chapter of “HeartWarmers. She was always finding ways to use her skills … she did retouching for local photographers and painted bank and business windows at Stampede time.

One of Sue’s largest projects was her work for World Vision! There were fundraisers for orphanages, earthquakes, hurricanes, famines, pandemics, water wells and schools as well as a large focus on sponsorship of children in need around the world. She was so compassionate about this project and it showed! She was always so humble and did not do this work to gain recognition, but we as a family were thrilled when MP Leon Benoit presented her the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to honor her significant contributions and achievements as a World Vision volunteer. She truly lived by the John F. Kennedy quote, “One person can make a difference, and everyone should try!” Her energy for her community was endless!!

Her zest for her family was just as infinite! Sue absolutely loved music and it is a priceless gift that she gave to her family. There was always a radio or record playing in the house. Sue’s dad was an accomplished conductor having his own Big Band Orchestra, so she grew up learning to love all kinds of music! Her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are forever indebted for her persistence and encouragement for them to develop and use their musical talents!

Every summer, Sue and Ed packed food and children to head to the cabin at Clear Lake for a magical summer vacation! We remember the old wooden boat that Sue painted and named “The Phantom”. She would allow the young boys to paddle that boat anywhere they wanted to … one catch … it had to be tied up to the pier! Besides the cabin adventures, there were also other trips as Sue and Ed loved to travel and camp. They visited England for Jim and Allie’s wedding, traveled to the Philippines, took a camping trip across Canada, explored the Yukon and Alaska, enjoyed a few winter trips in Arizona, took a cruise through the Panama Canal and took us to New York City in later years. They also really loved the local camping at Arm Lake and Riverdale as well as a yearly trip with the church family at Camp Harmattan.

We cannot emphasize enough how important family was to Sue! She hosted a million family meals … she was such a great cook and knew how to keep the grandkids busy with crafts, games, riddles, competitions, music or just laughing and joking around. She was never too busy to have grandkids over to decorate sugar cookies, take them on special trips or take them camping! As time went on and great grandkids entered the scene, she treasured every moment she could spend with them as well! Her gifts and talents have been firmly entrenched in her family!

Sue is survived by four children, Sheldon (Carrie) Frissell, Mike (Nancy) Frissell, Kerry (Sandra) Frissell all of Wainwright, Tracy (Neil) Howk of Calgary; nine grandchildren, Tanner (Alyssa) Frissell, Willow (Jeremy) Irwin, Coby (Ashlie) Frissell, Brett (Jaden) Frissell, Jessica (Cody Taylor) Frissell, Baylee Frissell, Kalli (Adam Sandau) Frissell, Lucas Howk, Troi (Joseph Mooney) Howk; as well as ten great grandchildren, Rey, Juno, Cora, Cooper, Aris, Cohen, Harper, Grace, Annie and Ivy; one brother, Bob (Marg) Carmichael; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jim and Alison Frissell; brother-in-law, Ken Frissell; as well as nieces, nephews, extended family and many dear friends. She was predeceased by her husband, Ed Frissell; her parents, Robert and Bell Carmichael; brother-in-law, Ronald “Duke” Frissell; and sister-in-law Victoria Budzilka. A memorial service was held at the Wainwright Church of the Nazarene on Saturday, November 19, 2022 with Pastor Ryan Wood officiating. A family graveside service was held at the Wainwright Cemetery.

Its time for holiday entertaining. A c har c uter ie board is perfect for guests to graze on.

Making a charcuterie board can be daunting, however, here is a guide that will make it easy.

Just pick the items you would like to use and arrange them ar tfully on a l ar g e wo o d e n b o ar d. T h i n k a b o u t the colours, and be sure that they vary. Include savory, salty, sweet and spicy flavours. Start the arrangement with the placement of any items in bowls such as olives and bruschetta topping. Next add the larger cheese pieces that don’t slice well such as cream cheese, or blue cheese. Add the meats, and cheese slices. Sliced deli meat can even be craf ted into roses, rolled, folded or fanned. Next add in the crackers and breads. Finish

For six years, the Town of Vermilion h ad d e a l t w i t h i t s men and women leaving to ser ve in the Armed Forces overseas and around Canada.

It was a long period of time when many locals never returned home after giving their lives for their country.

Before that, was The Great Depression, lasting through the entire decade of the 1930s.

All in all, it had been 16 years since Vermilion was free of worry and strife

The Towns Finest Exhibition

and it should be no surprise that the first exhibition to be held after those hard years was one for the record books.

The Vermilion Exhibition broke all previous records for attendance, interest and prizes. The amount paid out to those who showed off their vegetables and livestock was the most the area had seen since the 1920s.

At the same time, the Boys and Girls Camp held at the provincial school of agriculture nearby was the largest fair of its kind that year in Western Canada. As a result, plans were in place to provide courses for young p e o p l e t h e fo l l ow i n g ye ar to t a ke

advantage of that interest.

T h e ex h i b i t i o n s a w t h e l a r g e s t exhibit of purebred Shorthorns in the history of Vermilion to that point, and the Shorthorn association voted unanimously to repat the show at Vermilion the next year as a result.

As for light horses, there was such a high demand that additional classes would be added in 1947 to accommodate the number of people who wanted to come to Vermilion for the fair with their horses.

One reason that the fair was so popular was people just wanted to celebrate. They wanted to recognize the end of the hard years, and the

beginning of a new era.

So, how many came out to the fair?

Well, the final figure was 20,356, during a time when Vermilion’s population was much smaller than that.

For Vermilion, that was good news as they put on their finest fair in the history of the community to that point.

Filling the cookie jar Cookies have been a welcome addition to festivals and holiday rituals for as long as baking has been recorded, and its custom continues to this day. Everyone has their favourites. For some, buttery shortbread is the answer; others enjoy spicing things up with some gingerbread, or, if you’re like me, you might prefer something laced with chocolate and nuts. During this festive season, every gathering seems to harbour a plate or two of the delicious morsels. Any way you slice it, cookies are a tasty and traditional part of Christmas.

One December, my dear friend Cyndi and I combined efforts and spent a fun-filled day baking holiday treats. We drew up an exten-

sive list with foolish confidence in our ability to accomplish it all in an afternoon. Unfortunately, before this event, Cyndi fell prey to some slick advertising on the cover of a glossy magazine featuring directions on constructing an “Old English” gingerbread cottage with a thatched roof in five simple steps.

“It looks easy, Helen!” she enthused, brimming with the calm self-assurance of a rank amateur.

I arrived at her door that morning, laden with the usual baking ingredients: chocolate, flour, butter, sugar—did I mention chocolate? Lightheartedly laughing in anticipation of the fruitful day ahead, we fell to work amid the happy clatter of pans. Her large, pristine kitchen gleamed in the morning sun as we briskly bustled about our many tasks. Fools!

After a laborious day of loaves, fudge, tarts, cookies, and squares, we realized it was five o’clock. Cyndi had only started

rolling the gingerbread, a dark, evil-looking concoction repeatedly cracking under the strain of preparation. I poked fitfully at an unpleasant mass in the bottom of a saucepan that bubbled angrily, not unlike some Shakespearean cauldron brewing a foul potion. Clouds of flour had settled in our hair, aging us before our time. Streaks of some ungodly mixture decorated our faces, and we occasionally stumbled on weakened limbs as we trod on nasty, sticky bits littering the filthy premises. Leaning heavily on the sink, I gazed at my friend through the acrid haze of burned tarts and said, “There’s a lesson to be learned here.”

Further to this fiasco—the crowning achievement of the day—was the English country cottage in five simple steps. It had, in fact, become a terrifying apparition in roughly 67. The hateful magazine had included photos of a glistening kitchen and a beaming first-prize winner standing proudly beside her beautifully appointed structure.

Cyndi stood amongst the rubble of her kitchen, grim determination etched on her face as, in a final gesture of defeat, she plugged in her hot glue gun and resolutely welded it together. Muttering darkly to herself concerning idiot prize winners, she lavishly plastered shredded wheat to the roof with a second round of mucilage, pushed hopefully at a wall drooping almost perpendicular to the table, and stood back to squint at it with listless eyes. Turning towards me, she spread her hands in resignation.

“It doesn’t look anything like an English cottage…it looks like a deserted African hut from the pages of an old National Geographic.”

Yes, our favorite holiday treats may take on many forms, but as long as memories are made and good times are shared, you can overlook a little glue here and there. Christmas cookies are an enduring tradition to be enjoyed by one and all.

Get baking!

• Dinner at a gourmet restaurant • A theatre, music, comedy or circus performance • Tickets to a ski hill or winter festival • An introductory course to something exciting like dog sledding or wine tasting • A weekend at a hotel To find experiences your loved ones won’t soon forget, research the various activities offered where they live.

4 Considerations For An Online Christmas Party

If you can’t visit your loved ones during the holiday season, consider getting together with them online. A virtual celebration is an alternative option that simply requires a bit of preparation. Here’s what you’ll need to think about.

1. Time When picking a date and time for your online event, consider everyone’s availability. Don’t forget to factor in time zone differen­ces, if applicable.

2. Platform There are several online applications you can use to host your virtual gettogether. Select the most appropriate one based on how many people will be attending as well as their computer skills and available internet access. Some platforms also allow guests to join by tele-

phone.

3. Entertainment Plan a few activities to make the event more fun. For example, arrange for everyone to eat a similar meal or drink the same cocktail. You can also play games that work well remotely like trivia challenges and bingo.

4. Trappings Set up your computer in an appropriate location, and if you need a table or room to move around, prepare accordingly. Then, add some festive decorations to your background. Consider wearing a headset for superior sound quality.

If you’re giving gifts to your loved ones, mail them ahead of time so they can unwrap them online during the celebration.

How To Make It Look Like Santa Visited Your Home

The holiday season is full of enchantments, especially for young children who marvel at Santa’s ability to deliver gifts unseen. Here are a few ways to make it look like Saint Nick really visited your home.

Make footprints If there’s fresh snow on the ground, put on big boots and leave footprints around the outside of your home. You can also create reindeer tracks with a stick or broom handle. Another option is to put flour on the bottom of your shoes and make footprints in your house leading to the tree and stockings Get a friend to be santa Many children, especially older children who are coming of age for not believing will believe a little more if they see Santa, so enlist a friend to dress up and jingle bells on their wrist so your older children can see them through the window, or do a video of them back on filling stockings to

show them in the morning.

Leave a key If your home doesn’t have a chimney, give Santa a magic key. You can have one made at a store or create one yourself out of wood or cardboard. On Christmas Eve, place the key in a Christmas stocking on your porch.

Prepare a snack Encourage your children to put out a glass of milk and cookies for Santa and a bowl of water and carrots for his reindeer.

While your kids are asleep, help yourself to the goodies, making sure to leave behind a few crumbs.

Write a letter Have Santa thank your children for the snacks by leaving a note. Change your handwriting so it’s not recognizable or en­list the help of a friend.

2. To discover new products Christmas markets typically gather hundreds of vendors in one place. If you decide to attend, you’re sure to discover new products to try.

3. To support local makers If you want to support the artisans and producers in your region, visit your nearest Christmas market. By buying lo­c ally made goods, you’ll help stimulate your region’s economy.

5. To enjoy complimentary enter-

tainment Christmas markets frequently provide free entertainment. You may be able to enjoy a play, concert or food tasting.

In many cases, children’s activities are also of fered. You can even bring the whole family and make a day of it.

Hello! My name is Kent, I am a 7-month-old domestic shorthair. I have been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered. I will still require a rabies vaccine after I am adopted!

I came to the shelter as a very frightened stray with a leg that did not work. I was so scared and all I wanted to do was hide, I was seen by the vet and they determined I was possibly hit by a car and that is why my leg stopped working. Since then I have spent time in a great foster home who has helped me come out of my shell and learn that humans are not so scary! My foster home has also cared for me through my whole leg amputation surgery! Although I had to have my leg amputated, I seem to be doing great and getting around no problem!

I would do great in a home with other cats, gentle children and I would get along with a dog who can respect my boundaires.

If you would like to meet me then be sure to call the shelter and make an appointment to come in! www.lloydminsterspca.com

“It ’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…” all throughout St. Jerome’s School!

Our beautiful wooden Nativity scene proudly stands in front of our school. This handmade set was painted by a class of Mrs. Moir’s grade five students more than thirty years ago, and has stood the test of time, making it a special St. J school heirloom. Our High School Student Council members were spreading Christmas cheer last week singing carols while they decorated the high school end of our school. Our hallways, strung with glowing Christmas lights, what seems like an endless forest of beautifully decorated trees, and creative holiday doors create an atmosphere of hope and peace as we embrace this Advent season.

St. Jerome’s School News

Things in the elementary end are looking festive as well! Especially during Christmas concert practice. Our kindergarten students will open the show with a song that has them moving, shaking, and clapping for baby Jesus! The days until show time are numbered and the grade 5 students have been practicing their acting for this year’s Christmas concert “All About That Baby!”

The grade 5 students take the lead acting in our school’s musical theatre production, but by no means is it a one class show!

Each class in grades 1-5 will take centre stage to sing and perform during one song of the performance. Every child plays an important role throughout the entire performance as their voices join to form our student choir. “All About That Baby” is a delightfully fresh musical presentation of the blessed story of Jesus’ birth. Starring Natalie, a lovable but scatter-brained, late for work shepherd and her ‘best friends’…

her flock of sheep as they follow the star that leads to baby Jesus. We can’t wait to perform for you in person at Lakeland College Alumni Theatre on December 15 at 7 p.m.

Basketball practice has started for STJ senior and junior high basketball players.

We are blessed with many talented and dedicated volunteer coaches supporting our athletes in grades 6-12. Best of luck this season.

Lakeland Receives Provincial Recognition For Agriculture And Indigenous Supports

Lakeland College Submitted

On Nov. 4, 2022, Lakeland College’s Student-Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland (SMF) and Rikki Ducharme, manager of Indigenous student support services, were both honoured with awards at the 23rd annual ASTech Awards, presented by Technology Alberta.

The awards were in recognition of communit y excellence and innovation in student-led initiatives. They are designed to bring together Alberta’s innovative leaders in government, industry, academia and entrepreneurship to celebrate and collaborate. They are hosted by Technology Alberta, a group dedicated to nurturing a sustainable advanced technology sector in Alberta and making Alberta’s tech companies a vendor of choice internationally.

The SMF was recognized in the education sector of the Regional Innovation Awards for Vermilion. As part of their second year of studies, animal science technology and crop technology students manage commercial-scale crop and livestock enterprises. Students work together to make production, marketing,

financial management and other decisions that are applied to their specific SMF unit. With access to modern ag facilities and equipment, a commercial, purebred, dairy and research cattle herd, bison and equine herds, plus 2,500 acres of crop and pastureland, the real world comes to Lakeland’s ag students before they graduate.

“The School of Agricultural Sciences at Lakeland College is extremely proud to receive this ASTech Award in recognition of our Student Managed Farm – Powered by New Holland education model,” says Geoff Brown, dean of agriculture at Lakeland. “I would like to thank Alberta Technology for this great recognition and support for technology and innovation in the province.”

Ducharme received the Lloydminster region’s community champion in Indigenous student services and Indigenous led initiatives award. At Lakeland, Indigenous supports include social, wellness and cultural events, as well as academic and financial.

“It was an honour to represent Lakeland at the ASTech Awards,” says Ducharme. “To be recognized as a regional

champion in Indigenous student-lead initiatives was so exciting because it showcases how a grassroots approach allows our students to share their experiences and needs in a safe and supportive environment. We are thrilled to be recognized as an institution that inspires innovation through Indigenous-lead activities.”

About Lakeland College Established in 1913, Lakeland College is a place of possibility that ser ves almost 6,000 students every year at its campuses in Vermilion, Alta., and Lloydminster, Alta./Sask., and through online
