Straight From The Horses Mouth Karen Nedzielski Reporter
The Kitscoty production of “Straight From The Horses Mouth” kept audience members chuckling with delight as the cast and crew presented the eleventh season show
at the Kitscoty Hall. With a cast of 17 actors and numerous crew members, opening night went off without a hitch. The show was preceded by a supper and before long the lights were dimmed as the theme music to “Grease” marked the beginning of the show.
The curtains opened to reveal the office of the Dream House Inc. office run by Katy Biddlemeyer, played by Evan Gelech. Kat y tries to maintain o rd e r in her office after learning, through the purchase of a property, she has acquired ownership of a race horse,

Honouring Community Protectors At 2nd Annual Ball Karen Nedzisleki Reporter The men and women who serve our community and who are in charge of keeping us safe were in attendance at the second annual Protector’s Ball held at the Vermilion Regional Centre on Saturday, April 5. Hosted by the Town or Vermilion and The Goodlife Institute, the Ball is designed to officially honour the Police Services, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance and COPS programs. A parade of colours started the evening
utes to the numerous protectors of the community. After a brief intermission, guest speaker Dr. David Icove gave his presentation. Dr. Icove, a former member of the elite Behavioural Analysis Unit at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Quantico, Virginia, is most notable for his help in profiling the Unabomber which led to Ted Kaczynski’s eventual arrest. Dr. Icove said his work in the case was similar to a game of Trivial Pursuit in how the criminal made his moves and then considering when and where he would make his next move.

onto the back of one of the rank bulls, only eight of the highest scores would move on to the final short-go round. One by one, the chute gates were cracked, unleashing an eight second pandemonium as cowboys and bulls battled it out in the arena. Rodeo announcer Doug Young gave the play-by-play as each rider took a turn and the excitement grew with the anticipation of who would make the short-go round. Bull fighters Scott Byrne and Curtis Smyth and Bo Byrne, who replaced Monty
Phillips who broke his foot earlier in the day in the bull riding/fighting school, had their hands full with protecting the cowboys after a few complicated dismounts. The final showdown was packed with excitement as the final few cowboys mounted up in hopes of claiming the buckle and the Vermilion CPRA Bull Riding Title. It would be Ty Patten of Buck Lake, Alberta who would hang on for a combined total of 174 points on two bulls, and win the buckle for the event.

Vermilion Cadets Honour 100 Years For PPCLI Karen Nedzielski Reporter In honour of the 100th anniversary of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), the 2645 Loyal Edmonton Regiment Cadet Corp of Vermilion were presented with a PPCLI flag which will fly atop the Lt. Col. W.C. Craig Armory in Vermilion. In a special ceremony held on April 1 at the Armory, Officers and dignitaries were in attendance for the official presentation of the flag to the cadet corp. The PPCLI was founded in August of 1914 by businessman Andrew Hamilton, who offered $100,000 of his own money to help establish and equip a regiment
composed of veterans with who were the first Canadians to see the battlefield in World War 1. Since its birth a century ago, more than 1,850 Patricia’s have paid the ultimate sacrifice as well as thousands left injured, in all of Canada’s wars, peace support operations and peacekeeping efforts here in Canada, as well as abroad. The 2645 Loyal Edmonton Regiment Cadet Corp is affiliated with the Loyal Edmonton Regiment (LER), one of four Battalions of the PPCLI with two other battalions in Edmonton and one in Shilo, Manitoba. Making the official presentation was Major Loic Darras from CFB Wainwright on behalf of the PPCLI to Cadet Ryley Yetman. Yetman’s father is currently serv-

ing as a member of the First Battalion of the PPCLI. Although there are no plans for celebrations in Vermilion to mark the 100th anniversary, a number of members of the local Cadet Corp are planning to attend events in Edmonton later this summer.

Editorial
Volunteers - A Dying Breed Karen Nedzielski Editor
It seems as time goes by people are getting busier and busier with the everyday grind jobs that pay the bills and keep the lights on, so to speak. Running children to the various extra curricular activities can keep the most organized parents busy enough without adding in the home tasks and few seem to have time to help with the different volunteer organizations in their areas. When it comes to volunteers, at first glance they appear to be a dying breed. Hall boards, youth groups and charity organizations struggle to find helping hands and executives to run the operations which can threaten to shut down
most groups. As people get older and their children move on to college and university many think that they have done their share and eventually drop out of the volunteering scene. Many volunteers are of the senior population and work tirelessly to keep facility doors open and paying the bills can be a struggle for an age group who have already been volunteering for many years. But how do some manage to keep the “wheels turning” and maintain the operations of organizations that are thriving in comparison to some. This past week I was privileged to attend the eleventh annual Kitscoty Dinner Theatre and when talking with some of the volunteers there, it amazed me to learn that more than 100 volunteers participated in this year’s produc-
Letter To The Editor I would like to comment on Mr. Benoit’s comment of Mr. Brison. It seems to me it is a case of the Kettle calling the Pot black. There’s no one any better at talking out both sides of their mouths than Mr. Benoit. It seems to be a disease all politicians come down with including the Prime Minister. His only honest move was to never give Mr. Benoit a portfolio. I think Mr. Benoit should buy himself one of those new mirrors that you can look at from both sides. Harold Baker, Edgerton, AB
Correction
In a Press Release from MP Leon Benoit’s office on behalf of Minister of State (Seniors) Alice Wong, which was published in last week’s Voice, it stated the amount given to the Paradise Valley Seniors was $25,000 when in fact the correct amount given to the organization was $20,000. The Voice apologises on behalf of Mr. Benoit’s office for the error.

With this week being National Volunteer week, I would like to challenge people to ask themselves; do you do all that you can to support your community events? Do you want the events in your community to continue? I encourage everyone to take some time this week to observe Volunteer week by thanking a volunteer for all the work they do. If everyone would take a bit of time out of their busy schedules to give back just a little bit, these community events and organizations will sustain themselves and continue to attract families to the area we have all chosen to live in. After all, many hands make light work.
Letter To The Editor I read Mr. Benoit‘s letter to the editor in the Vermilion Standard where he referred to the comments I made in my letter to the editor in the Vermilion Voice. I said C.P. rail hauled 68 per cent more oil by rail in 2013. What I was referring to was C.P. rail hauled 68 per cent more oil by rail in 2013 than they did in 2012. Nowhere did I compare it to or mention grain. I don’t know how Mr. Benoit got that take on it! Mr. Benoit says to be fair to the railways, they have moved more commodities the past four years, then why would they down size their locomotive fleet and lay off employees? The grain handling system has consolidated, railroads can hook on 110-130 cars at a time. A big savings for them! All the farmers got were longer hauls, to sit in lineups to unload and higher freight rates. It is time for the railways “to pony up”. Our current Government is talking about looking at freight rates for hauling grain, possibly raising the rates. Sounds like a “Made in Canada Solution”. Would like to make a correction to my last letter to the editor in the Voice regarding the price of canola seed, what I meant to say was canola seed costs went from $5/acre to $55/acre, canola seed cost is not $55/bushel, it is $500/bushel.

tions. In fact many have been there from the very first production. I had to ask them what keeps them coming back and continually attracts new people to the group. Volunteer sound and lights person for the show, Brian Hunter said the strong Board of Directors all working towards the good of the organization, is the key to the show’s success. The show is run and performed entirely by volunteers. Not only is the show a success, it seems to be flourishing and sold out. These people are not getting paid but rather do it for the love of the production. They simply want to see it do well and keep the facility open so generations can enjoy it for years to come.

March came in like a Lion, but went out like a…well I guess we can’t say lamb, as it wasn’t all that nice, but could have been worse, maybe we will say more like a sleeping lion. As I write this, big fluffy snowflakes are falling, like the kind that you would see on a horse and hay sled ride in the middle of winter. Yah but in April? Come on! On the bright side it’s supposed to hit double digit highs for the weekend and hey there is sunlight at 8 p.m. in the evenings. Maybe we will continue
spring like we saw in the second week of March. This past weekend was slightly cool and the new snow made it undesirable to go out to the cabin for the annual antler shed and cobweb shake off, but I had to get outdoors. So I planned all Saturday afternoon to go chase bush rabbits with the bow and arrows, and a nice feed of “bunny burgers”. Now before anybody starts feeling sorry for the bush bunnies, let me tell you now that no bunnies were harmed in the making of this column. It wasn’t for the lack of trying, and a bad hunter will always have the best of many excuses and here are some of mine. First off, the snow melt of midMarch was just an illusion when it
Ask the home inspector:
TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:
Q: MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BUILDING UP
WITH A LOT OF ICE LATELY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
A:
If your windows are icing up or condensing more than normal it is likely that one of two things has likely changed. First of all ask yourself if you have produced more humidity lately that could cause the windows to condense. A cold can of Pepsi on a warm day is an example of condensation. When the cold air meets the warm at the window it condenses. If your home has high humidity such as steam from cooking or several other sources this might be the problem. A second factor may also be at play. Have you recently added or changed the position of your blinds? If you close your blinds you impede air circulation over the window surface and ice often forms. You can also try running the principle air fan if you have one.
comes to the treed wilderness. The first step into the bushes and its two feet thick yet and very brutal walking. The March melt did however make some of the snow hard with a crust on it that would hold about a pound less than I weighed I’m sure, as one could take about three steps on top of the snow. That was so nice it was like walking on pavement, until you fell into a manhole. When you broke through the snow past the knee you would have to struggle and put all the pressure on the other leg which would almost hold. By time you made three or four steps like that you were getting a real workout, and of course the rabbits with their snowshoe designed big feet, were zipping around like road runners after too much Tim Horton’s strong Coffee. That was one excuse. The other, an honorable excuse in itself. A big crazy horse crushing through the trees like someone slapped its butt with a 2x4. Well ok, it wasn’t a horse but it was brown, and half as big as one. It was none other than my hunting buddy Blaine’s oversized chocolate Lab retriever. This thing is hands down, the biggest Lab I have ever seen. As fat as it is tall, but as solid as a rock. Hence his name I guess…”Rocky”. Now Rocky didn’t get the memo explaining what “retriever” actually means. I am sure it doesn’t mean run through the bush like an out of control crazed bulldozer. Now when I say “run through the bush” I am not kidding. He doesn’t run
through bush he runs straight through it mowing over anything in his path, and what he doesn’t mow over, he finishes off with his deadly weapon. This weapon is a three foot long solid chunk of steel I am sure. It’s attached to Rocky’s butt and he is always wagging it, you want to stay away from this thing. The more he runs the happier he is, the happier he is the more he wags this thing. I am sure if we were to ever find a village of Hobbits or Smurfs out there, that would make him happy and unfortunately mean the demise of that village. I did see several rabbits, all doing mock chicken as they streaked by like a lightning bolt followed by big brown thunder, needless to say the bunnies were quite safe from us or even Rocky. After several hours of this mayhem, around supper time I had to meet a couple of customers back at the shop, I thanked them. I was soaking wet, cold, exhausted, and hungry…hoooya that means I had a great time. Fresh air, wore sunglasses due to bright sun shining, and a much needed cardio workout all in the outdoors… Doesn’t get any better than that.
When the Smoke Clears Ever watch a dog sleeping and dreaming of chasing a rabbit, people also dream of what they do everyday…make the most of it and sweet dreams.

A Letter To The Editor Franklin Wolters Columnist
Wouldn’t we all like less regulation, red t a p e a n d g ove r nment bureaucracy? We seem to forget that our forefathers had to fight for freedoms and rights we take for granted today. Although these freedoms are constantly being eroded, we are unwilling to take responsibility for preserving the freedoms we do have. Surely we must realize that the privilege of driving which we hold so necessary to our modern way of life cannot continue to exact such a toll of lives and property destruction as it currently does. Statistics show that in the last
six years more Canadians have died on our highways than lost their lives during the Second World War. Think of that! Those killed on the highways were not in combat and expecting death as those in battle do. Sooner or later the horror of this situation will overcome the complacency that is general now and the public will press for more stringent controls. Is it reasonable to expect to keep the right to continually misuse our privileges? Will offenders finally find automobile insurance rates so high they cannot afford it? Will governments finally decide the revenue they receive from liquor sales comes at too high a price in human suffering and curtail it? Will they make the drivers’ requirements so tough that only the very best
need apply? But, perhaps the reve- making the highways safe for us all, so nue received from both will make any she wouldn’t have died in vain. controls improbable. Signed Franklin Wolters & Family Are crash proof cars or compulsory seat belts really the answer? Calling your M.L.A’s and requesting tougher fines and mandatory blood tests could help; so could everyone reporting every weaving and erratically controlled vehicle.

Kitscoty 4H Beef Club News Cheyenne Porter, Club Reporter Kitscoty 4H Beef Club Submitted
The Kitscoty 4-H Beef Club has had a very exciting two months, filled with judging, speeches, and more. This started on February 8, in Vermilion with You be the Judge and NE Adventure day held at Lakeland College. For the first half of the day a judging clinic was held where members were taught to judge different types of livestock and items, from cattle to riding boots. Then for the rest of the day we took part in 4H activities. On February 9, club communications were held at the Kitscoty Legion. Each member had to present a speech or do a presentation. The speeches are on average from 3-5 minutes long depending on the member’s age. For the junior members our first place winner was Joey Eddleston. For intermediate Justine Eddleston. Then for senior was Shea-Lyn Eddleston. District communications were then held February 22, in Lloydminster, where our memb ers did amazing. Shea-Lyn won first and ended up going
to Regional’s. Justine placed second. Regional’s were held on March 8 in Wainwright. Spring Fling was held on March 20 and 30 in Two Hills. This is an intermediate over-night camp where members get to participate in multiple activities. The next month is going to be jampacked with activities. On April 5 we will be at the Lloydminster Exhibition grounds grooming our animals. April 6 is the Lloydminster Nelson Lumber judging clinic. Although we had lots of activities
during the month, the most exciting would have been when our general leader Wanda Labiuk, was awarded with the Northeast Region 4-H Award of Distinction to a Friend of 4-H! Wanda has been with the Kitscoty 4-H Beef Club for 22 years, even though her children have not been members for the past six years. Of those 22 years of service to the club, 16 of them have been spent as a leader and as a general leader for five of those. We are truly grateful to have Wanda as our general leader!

sorrow, confusion of identity, degradation, humiliation, unconscionable cruelty, a complete stripping of all original language and culture. They spoke of sexual abuse, of abject powerlessness, of insatiable hunger, of disease. They spoke of profound sadness. Desperation. And of death. What could the facilitators of such a plan have been thinking as they attempted to homogenize centuries old, diverse cultures into an impossible singularity of existence? Perhaps an ill-informed conspiracy between a detached government department and unethical rogue clergy believed illogically that taking away everything meaningful from aboriginal culture would assist in its subsequent survival within a predominantly white European one. Whatever the goal, the Residential School system failed miserably. It failed to respect the longstanding traditional culture of aboriginal peoples. It failed to protect vulnerable, defenceless children from irreparable harm. It failed to preserve and encourage a

heritage deeply rooted in family values, spirituality, tradition, and the personal strength that is borne through remaining connected to that heritage. As Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Commission, said during his address in Edmonton, it is essential that the events occurring in the Residential Schools be exposed to all Canadians with truth and honesty. It has been a painful process. To move forward into the future requires that we hear the voices of the victims recount their experiences. The responsibility for healing rests with all of us. It begins with acknowledgement of events past, forgiveness, and then the long road of reconciliation. As difficult as it is to consider that those most deeply wounded by the Residential School system were mere children at the time, maybe learning about this truly dark passage in our history will inspire us to become more compassionate, more aware and appreciative of the cultural diversity that comprises our vast Canadian landscape. We can start by promoting an inclusive community where no one is looked upon as “the other”. We are in this thing together. Our diversity is a strength, not a weakness. As children, each of us asks: Where do I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Who am I? We search for a sense of identity, a grounding. Never should any person be made to feel anything but a sense of pride associated with our own history, our parentage, the unique culture from which we originate. Not only is the preservation of that dignity our right, it is critical to our successful living.

Pineapple Pork Here is another great Hawaiian recipe. The pork is delicious and tender. The vinegar contains acidic acid, which breaks down the connective tissue in the meat, therefore tenderizing the meat. The ginger gives this dish a nice kick. Ginger has many healing benefits. Ginger is an anti-inflammatory and recent research from the University of Michigan has shown promise in ginger used to help prevent ovarian cancer. Ginger is also known to calm the stomach, boost the immune system, reduce arthritic pain and help the body to absorb certain nutrients. Ginger should not be combined with the use of blood thinners or aspirin. Pineapple is known for its digestive benefits, from the natural enzyme bromelain. Pineapple is also an anti-inflamma-
tory anti-oxidant. Pineapple is high in vitamin C and manganese. Pineapple is added at the end of this recipe to protect and preserve its nutrient value. Pineapple Pork 3 lbs of cubed pork or pork ribs 1 tablespoon oil for frying 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup water 3 - 4 tablespoons finely chopped ginger 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch 4 tablespoons cane brown sugar 1 cup water 1 can pineapple chunks or 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple If you are using pork ribs, choose the short ones and cut them into single pieces. Brown the pork in the oil (I use olive) on both sides; you will need to
brown the pork pieces in two or more batches. If the pork is very lean you made need to use additional oil for the second batch. If the pork is fatty, you may have to drain the fat out of the pot when you have finished browning all the meat. When all the ribs are browned add them all back into the pot and then add the vinegar, water, ginger and salt and pepper and cook covered for 3045 minutes on low heat. If the pot dries out, add a bit of water, to continue cooking in moist heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, sugar and water together. If you are using canned pineapple you can use the juice to make up part of the one cup of liquid. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pork. It will thicken within a few minutes. Stir in the pineapple and allow to heat through. Serve with rice.

Annual STEPS Dance Festival Celebrates 12 Years Karen Nedzielski Reporter
The 12th annual STEPS dance festival took place this past weekend at the Lakeland College Alumni Theatre with dance troops from Alberta and Saskatchewan participating in the three-day event. Hosted by Dance Impressions by Ryan and DI Society, the festival is designed to take into consideration years of training as well as to ensure participants receive the most rewarding, appropriate and meaningful adjudication. Adjudicator Dixie Skeith had her work cut out for her as the many age groups took their turn on the stage to receive their tips and instruction on how to become better dancers.
Originally from southern Alberta, Skeith studied and performed throughout Canada and abroad. She has studied numerous disciplines of dance and had procured many awards while obtaining a Diploma in Dance from Grant MacEwan College as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Calgary. The dance groups do not compete directly against other groups like other competitions, but rather against their own efforts and expected level of ability. The STEPS festival says it hopes to encourage dancers with the suggestions and comments their adjudicator has to offer. The Adjudicator’s Choice Awards as well

owned private dance instruction company and each year it holds a summer’s end dance camp with this year’s camp running from July 28 through August 1.

WE CELEBRATE VOLUNTEER WEEK Celebrating Alberta’s Amazing Volunteers MLA Dr. Richard Stake Submitted
There are many outstanding volunteers in the Vermilion-Lloydminster constituency. I want to take time this week to thank each and every one of you who volunteer to make your community better. Volunteers come in many forms they are the seniors selling raffle tickets in support of the local museum society or drop-in centre. They are a group of students spending their vacation helping to build a school in a village half way around the globe. They are the local businessmen and women who bring

their skills and passion to the board of the local food bank or community league. April 6 to 12 is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity to say thank you to the amazing volunteers who are hard at work in our communities. These outstanding Albertans are responsible for the recreational, cultural and social programs that matter most to Albertans. Their generous contributions of time, talent and energy help our children to develop their creative or athletic talents. Their compassion and concern ensure that there are programs and services available to help our seniors remain active and engaged in our communities. Their dedication
and commitment help to build the kind of welcoming and inclusive communities that help to attract the skilled workforce and investment needed to build a strong economy. The Government of Alberta is proud to join all Albertans in saluting our remarkable volunteers. During Volunteer Week 2014, events and activities will be held in more than 140 communities. The Alberta Government assists volunteers with successful initiatives like the annual Vitalize Conference and through Alberta Culture’s Community Development Unit. We know that the seven days of National Volunteer Week is just part of the 365 days a year that volunteers are at work across Alberta
and it’s important to recognize them every chance we get. I would like to encourage everyone this week to take a moment to thank the volunteers in their community and to consider sharing their own talents in support of programs and projects that matter to them. Volunteering is a great way to connect with people who share your interests, learn new skills and gain valuable experience. And there is no better way to say thank you, than to lend a hand to a volunteer who has made a difference in your life. Dr. Richard Starke MLA Vermilion-Lloydminster

A 2011 study found that, when compared to non-volunteers, older people who

dedicated modest amounts of time to volunteer activities benefited from a reduced risk of hypertension. “Today’s seniors lead very full lives and they want to give back so their skills and expertise can benefit their communities,” says Erin Spink, past president of the Ontario branch of the Professional Administrators of Volunteer Resources. “The many health benefits associated with volunteering enhances the meaningful and rewarding life experience volunteering provides.” Over 1.8 million Canadian seniors collectively volunteered more than 372 million hours in 2010, according to Statistics Canada. Many of them say that they hear about volunteer opportunities through family, friends, volunteer centres and online at volunteer.ca.

The plot thickens when the office group learns that Suzie Q and trainer Chaz, have a few secrets they have neglected to share and before long a few shady characters are involved in the storyline, causing distress to the Dream House Inc. office personnel. The comedic-spoof, as described by director Colleen Hoegl, kept the audience wondering who would walk through the office door next. Hoegl said much of the per form a n ce is cre d ite d to th e n u m e rous volunteers who make it possible, including Brian and Jeane Hunter
who have dedicated countless hours to the performing arts in Kitscoty, thus the Brian Hunter Family Stage was named. Katy’s boyfriend Jeff, played by local actor Rick Evans, said the cast has been rehearsing since mid January in preparation for the play. This is Evans’ ninth performance with the group and said he enjoyed the first play he did, so much so, he has been back every year since, taking time out of his day job as a farmer from the area. The show is nearly a sell out for eve r y p e r fo r m a n ce w i th i t s f i n a l performances next weekend. Photo Karen Nedzielski.

Dewberry School Susanna Pankiw Submitted
Celebrations of Life “The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” - Oprah Winfrey Celebrations and praise dominated the environment at Dewberry School last week. Happy dances were the norm as the staff and students gave it their all, with recognition coming in a variety of areas. Speed skating is synonymous with Kyra Weidmark in our neck of the woods. She traveled to Lethbridge March 29-30, where she competed against the best speed skaters in the western provinces. She earned a seventh place ranking in her age group and silver in the relay! Way to go, Kyra we are so proud of you! Badminton achievements continued throughout the week, with the high school students attending a Maidstone tournament. All the students performed with great potential and a few even brought back medals. Bringing home silver was Torin Johre, in boys’ singles and Lucas Dennill and Mikayla Fronke for mixed doubles. Dewberry also hosted a singles tournament Wednesday, April 2, where they competed against students from Lloydminster, Hilmond and Myrnam. A few even managed to keep some medals in our school. Torin Johre took silver and Lucas Dennill seized the bronze. Hayley Evison and Kyra Weidmark still have to battle it out for girls’ bronze! Good luck, girls! These students showed us some fantastic badminton. Great job!! Melodies and rhythm were the next
order of business. Nyla and Clay Radesh, dressed up and ventured off to the Vermilion Music Festival at the Alliance Church for piano competitions. For first time festival attendees, they not only brought back smiles to the school but great placements. Nyla played her piece right into second place and Clay paralleled his performance, coming home with a third place finish! What an honor to have such musical talent at our school! Badminton finished off the school week when the Grade 8 and 9 students ventured to Holy Rosary for a tournament. What a tournament it was! Our teams had gold written all over the Panther name! Our gold medal winners for girls doubles, Kyra Weidmark and Daneca Goldsmith; mixed doubles was Kyle Kjenner and Kenedi Wood and for boys singles, Vincent Guan. Remington Oneschuk and Keagan Rewuski obtained a third place position in the boys doubles category after battling to the gold medal round. These students have shown some awesome badminton skills! It is with anticipation that we await our own, Mrs. Bakos’ running results! She has entered the 5 km Spring Fling at CFB Wainwright! We wish her luck and hope all her training and effort pay off! The halls ring with applause and honor fills our souls to see everyone work so hard to attain their goals. These efforts are not done in isolation but rather with the support and recognition from all those that surround us. Everyone deserves to stand up and take a bow for the part they play in this game called life! We will continue to strive for excellence and celebrate all our successes at Dewberry School!

Lakeland College Beef Day Sue Chikie Reporter
April 6 spotlighted the first Beef Day at the Lakeland College with Angus bulls and replacement heifers up for sale and updates about the agricultural research they are doing. Activities started at 10 a.m. with a presentation by the Spring Creek Beef team followed by the research facility demonstrations at 11 a.m. Lunch was served with a preview of the lots in the sale for everyone to view on a large screen as they enjoyed their hot Beef on a Bun. Ten Black Angus bulls and 20 Black Angus-cross open replacement heif-
ers will be on the sale block. The sale and choice of lots were determined by the purebred and commercial beef teams of the Student Managed Farm (SMF) powered by New Holland. The bulls are a representation of their breeding program to help add pounds and value to your herd. The day began with a presentation of the bulls and heifers for sale, followed by their research displays which included, the Highland feeder trial - a 90-day trial with 120 heifers fed to slaughter weight comparing conventional rations to rations with wet distiller grain. A grant from Natural Sciences and Energygiving Research Continues to page 23.

Area Farmers Face Some Challenges As They Prepare For The Growing Season Agriculture Financial Services Corporation Submitted
Lower Commodity Prices and Tighter Margins Expected This Year As the April 30 crop insurance deadline approaches and Vermilion-area farmers prepare to seed their crops, an Alberta crop market analyst says grain growers will be facing some challenges this year. Prices on most commodities, including wheat, canola, and barley, have dropped roughly 40 per cent from the near-record prices Alberta farmers enjoyed last spring, says Charlie Pearson, a provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD). Meanwhile input costs to grow a crop, such as fertilizer, seed, herbicides, and fungicides, haven’t dropped proportionately – creating a cost-price squeeze that is forcing farmers to really sharpen their pencils as they prepare for the growing season, says Pearson. A review of crop costs between January 2013 and 2014 shows fertilizer prices fell 10 to 15 per cent, but have now climbed back to last year’s February levels due in part to seasonal demand, notes Jason Wood, a production crop economist with ARD. Diesel fuel has increased 13 per cent, but producers will be pleased to hear most seed costs and chemical prices have held steady, says Wood, noting treated canola seed varieties have increased 2 to 14 per cent. “Margins will be a lot tighter than the last few years. Farmers will have to assess every input they use to ensure it gives
them the best bang for their buck,” says Pearson. He points out today’s lower grain and oilseed prices are due to a general decline in world prices and huge, record grain yields harvested in Alberta and across Western Canada last fall. Another issue facing farmers this year is the backlog of grain waiting to be shipped by rail for export to international markets. “It’s creating cash flow challenges for farmers, and keeping grain and oilseed prices lower in Western Canada than other parts of the world where grain supplies are still relatively tight and demand is strong,” Pearson explains, adding he doesn’t expect commodity prices to move much in Alberta this year. April 30 Crop Insurance Deadline “Farmers are preparing to manage their way through the challenges this year, and as always good risk management will be important,” says Nancy Smith, with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) – the provincial Crown corporation that administers crop insurance across Alberta on behalf of the provincial and federal governments. She reminds farmers of the upcoming April 30 crop insurance deadline. “Most producers will invest $200 to $300 or more per acre into their crops over the growing season, and they don’t want to risk losing that to a hailstorm or some other unexpected weather event,” says Smith. She explains that’s why more than 75 per cent of Alberta farmers insured about 15 million acres of annual crops across the province last year. About $295 million was paid out on crop insurance claims for the 2013 crop
year across Alberta, including the County of Vermilion River, says Smith. The lion’s share of payouts last year – roughly $219 million – was triggered under the Hail Endorsement (HE) rider, an option 90 per cent of producers choose because hail is such a major weather risk in Alberta. Despite more than 3,700 HE claims, actual losses under the production guarantee that crop insurance provides were only $36 million – among the lowest ever, says Smith. She explains crop insurance allows farmers to insure up to 80 per cent of their average production on most crops. “If yields fall below that, a claim is triggered. Even many farmers with hail damage harvested above average yields last fall because growing conditions were ideal across much of the province. Unfortunately the prices weren’t there for farmers in the fall,” says Smith. $38.8 Million Paid on SPE Claims The Spring Price Endorsement (SPE) rider on crop insurance triggered $38.8 million in claims when commodity prices on many crops fell up to 25 per cent last fall. The SPE compensates farmers when crop prices fall 10 per cent or more between spring and fall, explains Smith. Other perils that triggered claims included excess moisture, which led to unseeded acres in some areas. Violet Nedzielski, who runs a mixed grain and cattle operation with her husband Peter west of Vermilion near Innisfree, says with fuel and fertilizer prices so high and commodity prices so low, they can’t afford to farm without crop insurance. Nedzielski says weather is the biggest risk they face every year, although this

year she’s also concerned about grain and oilseed prices falling further, and she worries about army worms following an infestation a couple of years ago. “We couldn’t keep farming without insurance,” says Nedzielski, thinking back to 2002 when their crop was uninsured and ended up getting wiped out by drought. “What a loss we suffered back then,” she recalls. Increased Straight Hail Coverage Changes to crop insurance this year include increased Straight Hail coverage, which producers can Auto-Elect with their policy by April 30. “Previously we capped Straight Hail coverage at $150/acre for most crops. We’ve now increased coverage to $225/acre for dryland cereals, and $325/acre for dryland canola and chickpeas. For irrigated crops, coverage has increased to $400/acre for cereals, and $425/acre for canola and chickpeas,” says Smith. Farmers who Auto-Elect Straight Hail also receive a two per cent premium discount. Smith encourages producers to review and ask questions about their crop insurance to ensure they understand the options and coverage choices available this year. “For example with lower commodity prices, crop insurance premiums and dollar coverages will come down because the value of the crops being insured is less. Producers may want to review their coverage level and endorsements because premium costs per acre in most cases are now lower,” she explains, adding that about 60 per cent of crop insurance premiums are subsidized by government. For more information about crop insurance, producers can contact their local AFSC Branch or the AFSC Call Centre at 1-877-899AFSC (2372) before theApril 30 deadline.

Lakeland College Beef Day Continued Continued from page 19.
Council (NSERC) made it possible to install the GrowSafe equipment. This system helps keep track of each animal to measure animal health, behavior, consumption and efficiency. As the animal inserts their head into the feed bunk, their ear tag is scanned and the system then measures how much feed is being consumed and relays the information back to a computer system to keep track of each animal. Jamie Holdstock was on hand for the day to explain about the GrowSafe and the Handling system. Lakeland College purchased the Daniels Manufacturing, Handling system which has a double wide alley which then transitions down to a single wide alley then the
squeeze. Predicting Feeder Lamb Performance is a planned future trial using ultrasound to correlate nutritional requirements of ewes with the number of lambs, carried in pregnant ewes. The Field crop plots were another display showing Lakeland College along with three neighbouring farmers which will plant 20 acre plots of field peas. They will be assessing the effects of using different levels of management intensity including; soil fertility, herbicides, fungicides, seed treatments, and variable rate seeding. The Jerusalem artichoke will again start off a second year of experimental growth this spring with the agronomy factors of growing the Jerusalem artichoke. The bull sale began at 1:30 p.m. with
Corey Conan and his 13 year old son Brody from Lethbridge were on hand for the demonstration. He is the only Canadian dealer for the Daniels Manufacturing Handling system. Corey attended Lakeland College about 19 years ago and now manages a 10,000 cattle feed lot. Also on hand to help Corey out was Andrew Goodrich. Photos Sue Chikie.

Mannville School Offering Grade 10s First Aid And CPR We would like to extend an invitation to all of our volunteers to attend our Volunteer Appreciation Tea which will be held on Friday, April 11 from 2:30-3:30. Many of our programs and events would not be possible without you and we would like all of you to know how much we appreciate your assistance. We hope to see you there! The April challenge for “Commit To Be Fit” is a walking challenge. We ended March with a “Goodbye to Winter” walk as our initial winter walk day was too cold. This month the classes will be taking turns wearing pedometers to track their steps to see how far we can walk. Each day we
will tally the class steps and convert every 1,000 steps into one km travelled. It will be fun to see which classrooms travel the farthest and to see how far our total steps will take us on the map starting from Mannville and heading west. Can we make Edmonton? Jasper? The Mannville Ag Society recently donated $1,000 to be used for a farm safety awareness or educational event/ activity at our school. The funds will be used to offer First Aid/CPR certification to our Grade 10 students. The course is the St. John’s Standard OH&S Standard First Aid CPR level “B”/AED (adult & child). The certification is for three years and recognized throughout Canada. Therefore, it will still be good for a year after our Grade 10 students graduate. It also meets the Occupational Health and Safety Standards. This
qualification is recognized by all employers. We appreciate the donation. Jump Rope for Heart is scheduled for the month of April. A representative from the Heart and Stroke Foundation joined us for our Kick Off Assembly. Students received a JUMPCREDIBLE booklet and the collection envelope. We ask that students collect their donations over the course of the month and bring the envelopes in by APRIL 30. That will be the Jump Rope Day where all students in grades 1-6 will show off their talents with the skipping ropes. More news for Cross Curricular. Mrs. Roland and Mrs. Campbell’s language
arts classes put their heads together, and their brains, and started a “Think Aloud” process. Using six strategies, they read books to each other, expressing their thoughts, questions and inferences as well as visualized what was happening and made connections between the story and other things they have experienced in life. All of this was done out loud. It was very difficult for them to change from silent reading to thinking aloud but they all managed some successes. They are hoping to continue with these strategies to help them to become better readers. A glance ahead - Graduation – May 9.

Lakeland College Brings Home Rodeo Title At CCFR Colleen Symes, Lakeland College Submitted
When it comes to rodeo, CJ Davidson of Worsley is a proven clutch performer. Going into Saturday’s final bull riding go-round of the Canadian College Finals Rodeo (CCFR), the Lakeland College cowboy knew a qualifying ride would win him the championship. But much more than just staying on, Davidson had the ride of the rodeo to earn 88 points and claim the 2014 bull riding title. He also won the bareback title earlier in the night at the Edmonton EXPO Centre at Northlands. “CJ rides really well under pressure. It seems like the bigger the event, the better he does,” says Lee MacMillan, coach of Lakeland College’s Rodeo Team. With the win, Davidson also earned a spot in this Saturday’s CPRA Bull Riding event at the Vermilion campus.
Davidson, a student in the environmental monitoring and protection major at the Vermilion campus, wasn’t the only Lakeland athlete to win two titles at the finals. Animal science student Jaycee Hawk defended her 2013 pole bending championship and also won the barrel racing championship. “Jaycee has been very consistent all year. She was the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association season leader in barrels and second in pole bending. When she got to the finals, she put up good times all three nights,” says MacMillan of the Nanton cowgirl. Lakeland led the way in championship buckles with four. NAIT, Olds College and University of Lethbridge had two titles each. Pete Lowry, a Lakeland alumnus who is studying in Lethbridge, won the team roping title with Jeff Drisner of NAIT. Shyla Fuchs, last year’s breakaway roping champion, placed second in the event. Lakeland also had a strong show-

ing in saddle bronc with second, third and fourth place finishes. The three-day championship featured about 70 competitors from 23 post-secondary schools across North America. Twenty-nine of the competitors were from Lakeland College. Before the finals even started, Lakeland’s rodeo team claimed two of the most prestigious titles of the season. Ali Mullin
received the Cowgirl of the Year award while the Cowboy of the Year title went to Devon Reay. Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association participants vote to determine the award winners. Mullin also won the High Point Cowgirl award based on her performance during the regular season.

Gymnastics Day Is Coming At St. Jerome School Seeing double and even triple was happening everywhere at St. Jerome’s as students participated in “Twin Day” on April 3. Students did a great job dressing up as twins, triples, and even quadruplets. The Kindergarten children loved their field trip to the College Farm last week. Joanne did an awesome job informing the students about the different animals at the farm. The entire experience was hands on and very enjoyable for all the students. Touching the wool of the sheep and seeing babies drinking milk from their mother’s udder was a new experience for many of the children. Mrs.Lillian deJong has been spending her days teaching the Grade 8, 9 and 10 students the art of pysanky painting (Easter eggs). They have been learning different techniques. The first style is the traditional colored egg. Other styles include etching a brown egg, etching a white egg and for something completely different a “stained glass” egg. The first step of this process resembles a tie-dye effect. Students then create wax designs on the egg to preserve the multi-coloring. The final result is truly amazing. Congratulations to Kathleen Dieken and Emily MacMillan who won first and second place in the Annual Catholic Women’s League Poster/Essay Contest! Their posters truly reflected the theme, “We have seen the Lord through acts of kindness and love towards our fellow human beings.” Thank-you to all St. Jerome’s students who participated in the Archdioceses of Edmonton contest. March Happigrams were celebrated on March 31 as all the elementary students gathered to watch Mrs. Martin’s Grade 3 students perform their play and song. The students did a wonderful job acting out the story, “Grandpa Kasen’s Toboggan Ride”. Six of the students dressed as “minions” and danced to the song “Happy” as the entire class sang the song. It was a great way to start a Monday morning putting us all in a very happy mood. Congratulations to all the March Happigram winners for all that they have accomplished through-
