ing, he will bring us information on what is new in plants plus present us with new and creative ideas to use in landscaping. Your creative juices will be flowing as you wind your way home to your own yard. Marlene Beattie will update everyone on the Good Life Institute and programs that organization is offering. Jason Anderson from Kathy’s Greenhouse is returning this year to demonstrate how to set up a pallet garden. In addition to Jason’s presentation attendees will have the option of bringing a recyclable container (old boot, smaller canner, old basket) in which they would plant a flower. Our guests will also be treated to a lunch which is prepared by the Communities in Bloom committee. Tickets are available at the Town Office or any Communities in Bloom Member. The Communities in Bloom committee have been hosting these informal afternoons for 5 years. The goal is to create a casual, informative and fun afternoon and at the same time raise some funds for the Committee to use on various projects around Vermilion. This year the plan is to add more trees and a flower bed by the railroad crossing at the east end of town. The new Communities in Bloom sign has been installed, going south on Highway 14. We are very excited that the sign showcases one of Fred Fellner’s lilies. Many will know that Fred is a local and world known lily grower. We are also exploring areas around town to have murals. If anyone is interested in helping us
out please give Donna Moon a call at 780 853 1890 – we can always use more committee members but if that is not your thing we keep a list of individuals who just want to volunteer for work bees such as planting, weeding and general maintenance of our spaces.

Vermilion Elementary School Karen King Submitted VES Learns Gardening Tricks From Experienced Hands On May 8 both Grade one classes lent a helping hand to the seniors of the Valley Lodge. Equipped with shovels and gloves, the kids worked together to dig up the soil in the seniors’ raised flower beds to help prepare for the planting of new flowers this spring. They also presented the Lodge with beautiful butterfly artwork to jazz up their halls for springtime. The seniors of the Valley Lodge have been our community friends all this past school year. Thank
you to the “grandmas and grandpas” who came out to help teach the students how to tend to the beds. Thanks to Christine and Lorie from the Valley Lodge for providing the students with refreshments after their hard work. Challenger Soccer coach David visited VES last week to share some new drills and games for the game of soccer. David, who is originally from Wales and has been living in Seattle, is visiting Vermilion this week and will be part of the Challenger Soccer camps around Canada and the United States later this summer. Students in kindergarten through Grade 6 enjoyed a half hour lesson with David, and especially

On May 12, 19 of our Grade four students attended a School Patrol presentation by a representative of the Alberta Motor Association. The presentation was intended to give the students a good idea of what is involved in being a School Patroller, and to make them aware of changes in the procedures they will use at our crosswalks. We were very encouraged by the turnout. While these students were mainly considering volunteering next year, it is possible that you may see some of them stopping traffic before this school year is over. 4A has been working on constructing simple machines and conducting fair tests with the machines. Students devised a testable question, made a hypothesis or prediction about their question, explained their procedure for doing the tests, then recorded the results and drew a conclusion. Students were also challenged to manipulate one variable to improve the
device, then test it again. Students then presented their projects and results to the class in an oral presentation. They also set up in the gym for other classes to see the projects and hear the explanations. Good scientific learning was enjoyed by all. The JR Parent Council would like to invite all Grade six parents to the last Parent Council meeting at J.R. Robson on May 26 at 7 p.m. This will be an opportunity for parents to go to the school and ask any questions they might have about J.R. Robson before the fall. The Grade 6 students will be visiting JR on June 2 for the day.

May Long Weekend Offers Many Attractions Karen Nedzielski Editor
The May long weekend has come and gone and with it goes the cobwebs from the cottages and cabins as many people made their way to their favourite little getaways. On Friday evening as I made my commute home from work, it seemed that every third vehicle or so, was either pulling a camper trailer or a trailer with a load of recreation vehicles on it. May long weekend is usually a time when people hustle to get out to the
lakes and campgrounds or spend it cleaning up the yard after the long, harsh, relentless winter. What some people may not realize is there are many attractions within our immediate area and the activities are endless. The Vermilion Provincial Park has numerous walking trails to explore and there always seems to be something going on, whether it be softball or soccer. Numerous summer attractions have opened for the summer season and offer a wide variety of activities for every age. The Vermilion Heritage Museum was

one of those attractions welcoming visitors again for the season and there was no shortage of artefacts and items to look at dating from our past. A lot of hours are put into the museum, none of which are paid hours. All work done at the museum is performed by a group of dedicated volunteers. From cataloguing items, serving as curator to mowing the lawn, all the work is that of a volunteer. When you look at the average age of volunteers it is those of the older population that are offering their time to help the different organizations. These volunteers are getting nothing out of it
but utter satisfaction in what they are doing. They put a lot of effort into what they are doing and should be very proud of the work they do. This work is not for their benefit, but rather for ours. It is so we can enjoy taking a peek into our past. Many of these volunteer run organizations are fantastic, family-friendly places to visit and very economical for those with a restricted budget. With the warmer weather officially here, I encourage everyone to check out all the area has to offer. We have a lot of great things to see and do, right in our own back yard.

Here we are half way through May and still no leaves on the trees. There are buds but they are not even green yet and that has to be some kind of record for late spring in this area.

finally gets the hint. The long range is calling for isolated showers all long weekend, however, I will take it as I do remember May long weekend blizzards with six foot high snow drifts and temperatures in the minuses. I also remember going camping as the first outdoor adventure to shake off the cobwebs and Old Man Winter’s grip, but waking up to a foot or more snow on the ground. May long weekend was always the first big adventures of the start of summer, but as I recall it seldom cooperated weather wise, but we always had fun and adapted
away from the beaten trails as we could and this spot was nestled deep in the wilderness at the base of the foothills of Alberta’s majestic mountains. We had to assure the youngsters that the Easter bunny would indeed find us. We even took them out and showed them all the bunny trails and all the raisins the bunny left behind; the youngsters went to bed very excited. During the night before we went to bed, we hid all the Easter eggs and treats near camp hoping a bear or coyotes wouldn’t rob us by morning. When we all awoke we quickly saw that wasn’t going to be an issue.
“May long weekend was always the first big adventures of the start of summer, but as I recall it seldom cooperated weather wise” and over time almost expected the final tantrum. When my children were youngsters we tried to outsmart the May long tantrum by Old Man Winter and would head out camping the weekend before or even earlier. One year, when my daughters were very young, it was an early spring and the weather was too good to be true, so we headed out on the long Easter weekend to go camping with the family and friends. It was like a July or August weekend when we arrived, as we all sat around the campfire that evening the girls were quite concerned that the Easter bunny would never find them in our remote campsite. When we went camping we did get as far
There was near two feet of snow out there and temperatures really dropped, let me tell you it wasn’t much fun as funny as it was, to be digging in two feet of snow for half an hour to find one frozen Easter treat. But the youngsters were as adventurous as their father and found it to be very exciting; even though I know there are still probably hidden Easter eggs in that camping spot. As much as I wanted to get out there for exploring the wilderness trails this past weekend, I reluctantly worked outdoors all weekend preparing the garden and yard after a long winter. I don’t know who came up with the idea that the May long weekend is the
time to put the garden in, as I relived above, however, I had to have the garden prepared just in case, looking at the long range I knew better. I have 30 or more species of trees, shrubs and bushes on the property and all in the main yard needed pruning and care. That alone took up most of the weekend. It was chilly and the wind wouldn’t stop blowing but at least I was outdoors and that task is done. I prepared and serviced the riding lawnmower as that will be my main source of transportation in weeks to come. I am sure all the hours I put on the riding lawn mower last year would equal driving that thing to the mountains and most likely back again, would be a more interesting trip but my yard would look like a jungle. With rain in the forecast for much of the weekend, I am still going to get out there; been through worse and am expecting it so it won’t be all that bad. I would rather be camping somewhere and fishing. But I will be setting up a couple of tree stands for bowhunting adventures and exploring as much wilderness areas as I possibly can, that will keep me happy. Here’s wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable May long weekend, try to get outdoors and create your own outdoor adventures. When the Smoke Clears If you look at nature, the outdoors and its adventures with your eyes, you just may not be seeing it; try looking at it with your heart.

From Treasure To Trash Franklin Wolters Columnist
A l o t of th e o l d treasures of the past have long since disappeared. Many of the popular pieces of farm equipment that did the work in early times, you see only a few examples of in museums or at pioneer shows that have garnered a very few examples just for history. I’ve seen a few old walking plows at farm gates or even a sulky plow sitting there all painted up and pretty. Hard to believe that land was actually worked with those little marvels of technology compared to now. That’s all there was back then though. Ever seen a harrow cart? That enabled you to ride behind the horses instead of walking or at best riding horseback when you were having a harrowing experience. Everything had a nice metal seat so you could ride in relative comfort, instead of walking. In early times it seemed that the land HAD to be turned over. It just had to be that the land as turned over so all the stubble was buried. It was soon out favour because the land then was ripe for wind erosion and it is hard to find a plow in this part of the country
anymore. As I drive around the country I can’t help but notice the old farm machines taking up places in fence corners and in the midst of brush looking so forlorn. Thinking back on the days when their function made such a big impact on the whole industry. When a new development came on the scene, soon all the older styles were obsolete and you know it was really important to get the new machine even if you needed to borrow money to get it. That wonderful piece of machinery probably saved a lot of time and work, but often times I’m sure it was a hardship to repay the loans in times of poor crops or lower prices for the result of your time and labour. That’s the way it was in my time and I’m wondering if it’s ever changed. I see those old discers and tillers that at one time were the top choice for seeding and keeping the summer fallow black, the style that was soon left behind when the cost of fuel and multiple cultivations gave way to minimum till and all the new styles of farming we see now. Ever count the number of nice press drills you see decorating the fence corners now? You ever take notice, if you’re at an auction sale, how long it takes to get a bid on some
of those at one time wonderful old seed drills! Not so long ago they were considered the very best and latest, and now they are simply obsolete! We can go back along the history lane and still some examples of long machines will get us wondering how those old folks managed to farm and make a living having such work making m a c h i n e s l i ke b i n d e r s , s to o k i n g , remember that chore? I guess there are still a few square balers around to keep the drudge of handling feed the hard way alive and kicking! I remember the task of filling a seed drill and all the five gallon pails of grain it took to do it. I still have my old beam scale that I used to check the amount of seed that was applied to each acre. It used to matter. I don’t know how it’s done now. Maybe a computer does it automatically. I guess the most popular fence corner decoration is the old threshing machines. They take up so many places of notice. Remember when they were the center of all activity, and talk about a work related machine. In my young days, the hardest job was keeping one of those old gals fed properly. It was a test of your abilities that’s for sure. You never see too many old bundle racks
because they were mostly made of wood. Seemed everyone had a different design that suited his ideas of creativity and he means to provide materials. I remember a good few made mainly of ubiquitous poplar poles cut from a nearby bush or if the owner was better fixed a nice rack from planed timbers and lumber. The end result was the same though. I more likely think of the wonderful feeling I had then of being able to do a good job of putting on a neat load and feeding that old machine so it could do its job. In my time they were developed to the best that they could be and then gave way to the marvels of invention we see now crowding the dealerships, along with acres of air seeders, high wheeled sprayers, and all the magnificent tractors with hundreds of horsepower to pull those air seeders. You have to wonder how long these machines will be front and center and what on earth will replace them to facilitate this farming when the human element is further eliminated. From what I hear with this modern G.P.S. those machines hardly need a driver anymore. I’m somehow glad I farmed in those good old days before I too became obsolete.

One Less Sheep Margaret Lonsdale Columnist
W i th a s si s t a n ce from two strangers, I bob to the surface, gasping for air. Everyone standing around the water’s edge applauds, then offers their exuberant congratulations as I step out of the water. Something important has just happened. I give in to the flow, allowing the others to interpret my wide-eyed silence as some kind of elated state of awe. It’s a scene from a long time ago, but I remember it well enough. In high school, some friends became involved in a group led by a charismatic man everyone addressed as Brother. Brother was from someplace else. Texas or Louisiana. When he spoke, he got all worked up like a tv evangelist. He squeezed his words out in a slow, emphatic drawl, captivating listeners so that no one moved until he finished. I remember the first time I attended one of Brother’s gatherings. You don’t easily forget an event where people fall to the floor and writhe around as though they’re
having an epileptic seizure. Or babble in an incomprehensible language while their eyes roll back in their heads. I should explain that people exhibited these behaviours in the absence of any mood-altering substances. It was scary but also fascinating. At first it felt good to become a part of the group, even if some attendees were a bit dramatic. There were inspiring stories to hear and always lots of good food. Some people called it a cult but those were mostly outsiders who didn’t understand. That night in the pool signified my baptism as a born-again innocent. All my transgressions fell away the moment my head slipped under that cool chlorine water. I was renewed. It didn’t occur to me then that at age 16, I hadn’t really accumulated all that many “transgressions”. Instead of feeling purified after the dunking, I felt more self-conscious than ever. I tried, but I just didn’t feel any more spiritual either. In fact, I felt just the same as before, only a lot more guilty. In a few weeks, I was identified as needing special attention. I imagined that some
tenth annual Courage Canada trail ride to support brain injury awareness with
of those people, including Brother, held special powers. That’s how they could tell I had a guilty mind. For example, somehow they found out about the time my friend and I turned on some music in her basement and danced half the night away instead of attending a gathering. Dancing, of course, came from the devil. What was happening in that group began to feel unhealthy but I felt afraid of what might occur if I tried to drop out. I had my doubts about being an evil backslider who needed to pray more in order to get the devil out or maybe even end up having to get exorcised. Still, it took awhile to extricate. We learn from every experience we encounter. Sometimes we have to suffer a little to follow through with decisions we
Task Force Releases 25 Recommendations About Alberta’s Teaching Profession Ministry of Education Jeff Johnson Submitted
A government-established task force has released a report including 25 recommendations aimed to help achieve teaching excellence in Alberta. The recommendations include the implementation of an early-career mentorship program for teachers; changes to the teacher evaluation process; and the establishment of mandatory one-year, paid internships for teachers in training. Education Minister Jeff Johnson established the Task Force of Teaching Excellence in 2013. The Task Force is a 16-member, blue-ribbon panel made up of a wide range of Albertans, including students, parents, teachers and academics, and four MLAs. “After parents, teachers are the most important contributor to students’ success. With that in mind, I assigned the group one goal: to ensure that every child, in every class, has an excellent teacher,” said Johnson. “The Task Force took this mission to heart and has published a that clearly puts the needs of our 3” widereport version children first.” The report was released on May 5 at the Alberta Education-hosted Task Force for Teaching Excellence Symposium, where CFCW about 1,300 attendees—including about 700 students and teachers—shared their 12345 initial opinions on the Task Force’s recommendations.

know are the right ones. My short tenure with Brother and his group cost me plenty. It definitely damaged a few friendships beyond repair. Some people don’t want to be questioned. They might even try to convince you that it’s the devil making you ask questions of them in the first place. If you’re young and impressionable, you might be convinced of that. I had to think for myself, even if it meant eviction from the same group that not long before had welcomed me with smiles and warm hugs of inclusion. I’ll always be grateful for their collective insistence that I was unredeemable and therefore no longer worthy of mingling with their kind. Some clubs just charge too much for membership.

Force was eye-opening and rewarding. “It has deepened my appreciation for the art and craft of teaching and the passion for and commitment to education in this province.” To inform its recommendations, the Task Force conducted an extensive consultation process that included 3,000 Albertans. They also engaged other experts and stakeholder organizations throughout the process. The College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) and the Public School Boards’ Association of Alberta (PSBAA) stated their support for the report shortly after its release. “I feel there are some positive recommendations that would enable Alberta’s education system to continue to adapt to the rapid changes that are taking place in our world,” said Dr. Larry Jacobs, President of CASS, in a news release. “The ability to evolve and meet the needs of every child is critically important, for the students of today and those of tomorrow.” “At first blush, the recommendations contained within the report appear to be anchored in the Inspiring Education vision, Alberta’s strong and credible reputation as a leader in public school education and, perhaps most importantly, the report is focused on putting the needs of our children first,” said the PSBAA also in a news release. Minister Johnson will now take about a month to gather feedback about the report. “I want to hear from all Albertans about the Task Force’s recommendations. Over the next several weeks, I’ll be soliciting feedback from a number of our key education partners, including the Alberta Teachers’ Association, as well as all interested Albertans. I will be carefully reviewing this feedback before making decisions on the recommendations.”

Cream Crackers Did you know that you can easily make your own crackers? This recipe is for the basic cream cracker. O nce you have mastered it, you can start inventing your own signature cracker. The recipe calls for a cooking time of ten minutes at 400 degrees. The goal is to have a cracker with a crispy texture that is neither over cooked nor under cooked. This requires you to make a batch or two to know exactly how your oven cooks, and how thin you should roll out the dough. R e m e m b e r a 4 0 0 d e g re e ove n is a fast oven, so keep a close eye, because even a few minutes over can mean disastrous results. These crackers can be stored in an air tight container for up to a week. They are fantastic served warm or cold with jam. They are also a great accompaniment to tea when buttered and topped with a slice of cheese and then a slice of tomato and a bit of chopped parsley. This recipe uses unbleached flour, but once you get the timing and cracker thickness just right you can create artisan crackers using different flours, herbs, spices and cheeses. I added a tablespoon of mixed Italian seasoning to a batch and they tasted awesome when done, with a slice of cheese and even with a thin skim of orange marmalade. Another variation of this recipe is to add 1/4 of a cup of parmesan cheese. This recipe makes three cookie sheets of crackers. I found using a heavy rolling pin, made rolling out the stiff dough much easier. I switched to a marble rolling pin as I found using my favourite
Tupperware rolling pin more difficult three or four times. Bake at 4 0 0 browned. Enjoy warm or cold. Allow to get a thin layer. degrees for ten minutes until lightly to completely cool before storing. Your favourite cracker recipe can be made a day ahead for a party, and will provide you with bragging rights for your great homemade crackers. If your stored crackers lose their crispness they can always be warmed up in the oven to re-crisp them if needed. Cream Crackers 3 cups flour 1 / 3 cup butter 1 cup milk 1 / 2 teaspoons salt. In a bowl combine the flour, butter and the salt. Rub the butter into the flour. Add the milk and combine to form stiff dough. Divide the dough into two batches and roll out thinly in a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle the flat dough lightly with salt. Cut the dough into squares and place on a lightly buttered or oiled cookie sheet. U s i n g a fo r k , p r i c k e a c h c r a c ke r

Courage Canada Mounts Up For Tenth Year Karen Nedzielski Reporter
If you are looking for a little cowboy flavour, then you won’t want to miss the tenth annual Courage Canada Trail Ride for brain injury awareness taking place on May 31 near Minburn, Alberta. Event organizer Curtis Anderson, a brain injury survivor, plays host for the event and leads the ride which now takes place at his farm just north east of Minburn. On June 26, 2002 Anderson, a ten year bull riding veteran, says he climbed on the back of a rodeo bull and that is the last thing he remembers. What happened next changed his life dramatically. During his eight-second bull ride, Anderson’s head collided twice with the animal’s head,
causing a severe brain injury. Doctors were forced to medically induce Anderson into a three-week coma to allow his brain to heal. The next thing Anderson says he remembers is the ambulance ride from the University Hospital to the Glenrose Rehabilitation hospital. Anderson was later moved to the Halvard Johnson Centre for Brain Injury in Ponoka where he learned to walk and talk again. After many months of rehab, Anderson began to put his experiences to good use and has now become a cowboy poet and public speaker expressing the importance of wearing helmets. He has spoken to various schools and work places and has even become somewhat of a mentor for those at the Halvard Johnson Centre, the centre where he once was a patient, talking about his continuing path to recovery.
Curtis Anderson is a brain injury survivor and he works to bring awareness to brain injuries by performing at public speaking events and through schools. He is pictured here during last year’s ride along with family friend Allan Nutt. Photo Trudy McKenzie.
Although in its early years the ride had as few as 6 riders, last year’s ride had numerous teams of horses and wagons carrying passengers as well as dozens of horseback riders. A supper is held on the evening of the ride and this year’s event will see country music recording artist Eli Barsi, as the headline performer for the show along with CFCW radio host Jackie Rae Greening, as MC for the evening. The silent auction is proving to be a major fundraiser for the event and there is a long list of contributors for this year’s sale. Earlier in the month, Jim Myhovich of Mannville dropped by the Vermilion Voice office to show off his donation to the event. He has spent a portion of the winter hand crafting a set of kitchen knives for the auction. This is not his first

time donating as he said his previous hunting knife donation in 2012 garnered the auction $5,400. This year’s donation comes complete with a chef’s, carving and paring knife set into a wood burl knife block. Following the Saturday night supper and dance there will be a Sunday morning church service at the Rec Centre at 10 a.m. featuring live music and poetry. Tickets for the event are available in Vermilion at Craig’s as well as UFA and cost $25 for adults and children ten years and under are free. As the event moves into its tenth year, a total of more than $100,000 has been raised through the trail ride, supper and auction. The funds raised have gone to help brain injury survivors, as well as a few different charities including FOCUS Vermilion and the Canadian Professional Rodeo Sports Medicine team. Much like the trail rides success, Anderson’s road to recovery continues to make progress and he credits much of his success to the support of his friends and family. “Fifty per cent of the recovery is determination and the other half is the support system around you,” said Anderson. He added that since his accident in 2002, there has been someone there to support him every single day. “You have to want to get better. A broken arm is a six week recovery, your brain’s recovery is forever.” Anderson will be once again leading the trail ride this year as he “cowboy’s up” for another ride. As he says in many of his poetry performances; “he’ll keep on keepin’ on.”

The Grade 8-9 St. Jerome’s girls basketball team understand the importance of getting involved and supporting others. This basketball team held a bake sale, popcorn ball sale and hosted a tea room to raise money for Ovarian Cancer. The girls spent many hours baking goods for the bake sale and making over 200 popcorn balls. This money will go to research, awareness and support to
those touched by ovarian cancer. The girls basketball team wanted to show support to a team member whose mother was diagnosed with this cancer. At the end $732.70 was donated in support of Ovarian Cancer. Great job Spartan’s!

Mannville School News Susan Obrigewitch Submitted
Mannville Students Commit To Be Fit Mannville Elementary students did an excellent job of collecting donations for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Better yet, they all participated in the jump event which saw them working hard to improve their health. They raised nearly $6,000 and we are very proud of everyone! With this event, the school receives a 10 per cent cheque of the total raised and we in turn purchase items that will benefit all of our students to become healthier. Congratulations to the top fundraisers Payton Konieczny, Saoirse Rosta and Jozlyn Whitten.
All students were given a jump rope prior to our event and we hope that they have been using them along with the Commit to be Fit water bottles! Our school has certainly become very involved with fitness and active lifestyles for all of our children and adults. Hats off to all of our coordinators, but a special thanks to Mrs. Tod. Mrs. Hinton’s Grade ones have welcomed some visitors to their classroom. Last week nine caterpillars arrived and are already in their chrysalis stage. The students are anxiously awaiting for the butterflies to emerge. They have been busy recording any changes they see in their Butterfly Journals. On May 27 the students will have another special guest.
An engineer from The Alberta Science Network is coming to their classroom to do a demonstration on the Building Things unit that they are currently just finishing up. They are all very excited for this. Grade 11 and 12 food students just finished up their Catered Event module by catering a fundraising BBQ for Bulldog staff members! Thanks to an awesome turnout and support from Bulldog, students now have enough money to purchase a brand new BBQ for the CTS Kitchen. The next CTS fundraiser will be on Friday, May 23, Perogy Day! We are now accepting kindergarten registrations for the 2014-2015 school year. There will be a parent information and open house on Wednesday, May 21 at

Ask the home inspector:
TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:
Q: MY GARAGE DOOR REVERSES ALL THE TIME. IS THERE A WAY TO CORRECT THIS?
A: Yes and it is usually not difficult to adjust. Most likely one of two problems is occurring; the door is either traveling too far causing a binding situation or the down force is set too light. Both of these conditions can usually be corrected by making small adjustments on the opener. Ideally you want the down force to reverse with light pressure but not too light. Doors are designed to reverse if they are binding. If the pressure is set too heavy or too light the results may not be good. When setting the travel you want the bottom seal to squish slightly. I recommend putting the safety sensors within 6-9"off the floor for optimal safety of pets and children. WWW.BORDERHI.COM/POSTS

Mya, Vermilion Judy Wasylishen Submitted
It was a great day for tobogganing when the Jaremco family decided to take their kids out to a hill on their farm. Using the snowmobile, with a sled on the back to get everyone back up the hill, they had loaded some of the kids on when Mya, then five years old, decided to come down the hill on her own. When the two sleds crashed, Mya was immediately unconscious and left with a gaping hole on the left side of
her face. Her dad, Aaron, ran her back to the house and met the ambulance on the way into town as her mom, Paige, called 911. Mya was rushed to the Stollery Children’s Hospital by air ambulance, where she was swept into a barrage of tests including MRIs and Cat Scans. Mya had shattered the entire left side of her face, and was going to need approximately nine hours of surgery, including receiving a titanium cheek – but they couldn’t start right away as doctors needed to wait until the swelling receded. It to o k five lo n g days af ter th e accident, for the Jaremco family to
find out that Mya was still able to see. After eight days of watching the swelling, doctors were able to perform her surgery and only five days later, they were able to send Mya home. After over 20 checkups and appointments, Mya has received the good news that she is back to her normal self. Mya, now six years old, loves to share her stor y and tell people about her titanium cheek. She is an avid reader, performing at the top of her class, and has no fear of winter sports, with a new love of downhill skiing.

The Vermilion Heritage Museum, originally built in 1928 to serve as a school, threw open the doors for the season this past May long weekend and there was no shortage of things to see both inside the museum and outside in the yard.

Upon your visit to the museum you will be greeted by tables of old card and board games which have been p laye d ove r th e ye a r s. Cri b b a g e, whist, checkers and backgammon are among the games on display. The museum also tries to incorporate hands-on learning allowing for visitors to actually touch some of the items in the museum. One of these items is the hat section. Many hats from different eras are on display and visitors are encouraged to try them on.
