Lea Park Action Wows Crowds At 60th Annual Rodeo
Photo Karen Nedzielski.
Karen Nedzielski Reporter The weather cleared just in time for the Lea Park Rodeo committee to hold its 60th annual event in the picturesque coulee north of Marwayne. The Friday night performance got underway on time as crews worked frantically the previous days to ensure the arena ground would be in the best condition possible for the
cowboys and cowgirls to ride in. Committee member Rick Hozack, said even with the inch and a half of rain that fell on the rodeo grounds the Thursday before the rodeo, the arena floor was in good condition for the event. The committee has been working on conditioning the arena floor twice per week throughout the year, to help maintain an optimal base for the rodeo. Hozack said four years ago the Lea Park
Rodeo was named the most improved ground in the sport of Canadian Professional Rodeo as voted on by the participants. The following year, it won the best rodeo arena ground in all of Pro Rodeo Canada. The Friday night events kicked off with the Lea Park Riders opening the event with a grand entry musical ride and immediately following was the high kicking action of the bareback riders.

The cowboys would be hard pressed to get past the eight seconds as stock from both Franklin Rodeo and the Calgary Stampede would try their best to dismount the cowboys. The Ladies would be the next to take to the arena as the barrel racers ran the clover leaf pattern in hopes of not knocking over a barrel. It would be Rene Leclercq of Holden, Alberta, on her palomino horse Continued to next page.

who ran the best time of the night with a clean time of 16.462 seconds. The Tie-Down ropers were met with a tough pen of calves as many cowboys took a no time. Josh Ericson posted a time of 8.8 seconds and won the day’s title for the Tie-Down event. The wild Saddle Bronc riders climbed into the chutes next and there were some tense moments when Call Marr’s horse came over backwards as it left the chute. Marr had to be helped out of the arena before the rodeo could continue. Marr is currently ranked number one in the standings for saddle bronc. The half time entertainment saw Nikki
Flundra wow the crowd as she gracefully rode her horse without a saddle or use of a bridle, in what seemed to display a magical connection between human and horse. Two more horses joined her in the arena as the trainer and her horses performed synchronized manoeuvres to music. The “Linebackers” of the sport were up next as the steer wrestlers mounted up to take on the pen of horned bovines. After a nail biting end, Ponoka’s Trygve Pugh, would post the best time with a 4.6 seconds. In the team roping event it would be the duo of Grady Branden and Riley Warren who would take the day money with a run Continued to next page.

The Friday money would be claimed by Ty Elliott of Nanton, Alberta with a score of 83.5 for his ride aboard the bull “Red Water.” As the sun set behind the Lea Park Hill, the rodeo competitors headed back to their trailers and hit the pavement leading them on to the next rodeo. Spectators were treated to a whole new set of cowboys and cowgirls as the Saturday and Sunday events unfolded. See next week’s Voice for all the results.

Editorial
Digging Through A Simpler Time Karen Nedzielski Editor
Travelling through time to a simpler life is maybe a wish for some as the day-to-day lives of people become busier and busier, consumed by technology designed to make our lives easier and help accomplish our tasks in a more efficient manner. As mobile devices offer us convenience at our finger tips, I have to wonder at what cost? Are we losing ourselves in the high tech world that seems to be controlling our lives? I have always been a person who enjoys reminiscing about yesteryear and love to look at old treasures from days gone by. A few years back, my family and I were
tasked with cleaning up an old house at our family farm in Saskatchewan. It had crumbled under the weight of “many years of memories” but until then, had served as a storage shed of old treasures of my father’s childhood as well as those of mine and my sibling’s. We had dug through the collapsed roof to reveal a number of old items including an original cream can with our family name on it. The can was most likely used by my father and his family to ship the precious commodity which helped support them through the lean years of farming. After two full days of digging and hauling away the rubbish, we had the old yard site in pretty good shape. But there were all kinds of trinkets and old furniture recovered from the collapsed building that had to be dealt with. It was like I had found
a mini gold mine of items that my family had saved for years, that were forgotten about until that day. It was truly a fun day and did not seem like work at all. It was a view into, what now looks like, a simpler life. This past weekend had a number of oldtime activities that never required the use of technology to help occupy or entertain us. The Vermilion Heritage Museum held its “Come Experience Our Heritage” day last Saturday with a number of activities to entertain attendees. The cost was by donation only and there was definitely something there for everyone to enjoy. The 60th annual Lea Park Rodeo held its annual rough stock and timed events with numerous other activities taking place all last weekend. The event has a very strong heritage and if you try hard,
you can take yourself back in time where the cowboy’s way of life was a means of supporting himself. For a moment you can feel as if you are at that very place in history, until your cell phone rings with a call or text message. My point is, we are so wrapped up in technology that we forget to remember where we came from and how we got to this place in time. I suppose our forefathers probably felt the very same way as the use of tractors began to replace horses in the fields, cutting down the time it took to seed and harvest the fields. I encourage everyone to take some time to sit with family and friends to really enjoy each other’s undivided attention. Talk about fond memories and days gone by... Instead of texting the information back and forth from the couch to the chair.

Golfing Blind At The 17th Annual Lions CNIB Texas Scramble
Golfers at the Vermilion Golf and Country Club were having a bit of trouble seeing the ball on June 6 as the 17th annual Vermilion Lions Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) Texas Scramble took place. The event is held to increase awareness and also raise funds for CNIB and and everything they do to help those living with a vision impairment. On the first and ninth hole of the course golfers were challenged by the use of a blind fold covering their eyes during part of their play, to demonstrate what people living with a vision impairment go through on a daily basis. Pictured here are tournament participants Bruce Beattie, left, and Ron Roth as they watch Braden Beattie attempt to sink the golf ball in the cup while being blindfolded.

Around The Campfire Neil B. Stratton Columnist
A huge smile can be seen on my face at sunrise now with our outdoor world in full colour and warmth. The green explosion is full blown, colourful and so scenic. One of life’s greatest gifts is the summer morning sunrise on a clear still day, enhanced by momma Robin’s sof t morning songs and the early sun rays warming your body from the heart on out. It even looks so much better with the grass cut and trimmed with that fresh cut grass smell. It’s sad that some actually miss it with life’s hectic pace. We all need to stop even for just a minute to behold. If one takes the time to watch you can see that wildlife takes the time to stop and bask in the glory of a morning sunrise, as one of my furry friends on the outdoor archery range does. He is a full grown 13 stripe gopher, or more commonly called 13 lined gopher, much rarer than the common “Urocitellus Richardsonii” or “Richardson’s ground squirrel” or as we all know them as the common gopher. Although any gopher is considered a pest, as they do damage to crops and do way too much digging with holes and mounds everywhere, this little fellow has sanctuary on the range. He is labeled protected and is not a target as I like the little guy, and he is unique, as I stand there facing into the warm morning sun I glance over at him and he is also standing there facing the same warmth, enjoying the sunrise. I call him “Lucky”… not only because of sanctuary but because it suits the “Lucky 13” phrase, so unless Lucky attacks a shooter on the range and chews off their ankle he is the desig-
nated range mascot. Lucky’s stripes, look very similar to another of my furry friends, a very energetic Chipmunk that have two similar stripes down their back, whose name is, you guessed it, Alvin. Now Alvin comes to the shop everyday looking for handouts, and I made the mistake of getting Alvin addicted to the cereal fruit loops and stale peanuts, which now I have to keep stocked in great quantities or Alvin gets quite excited. And speaking of furry friends with stripes we are missing some this year which is very unusual. The striped critters I am speaking of are the most recognised skunks of course. Flower didn’t have her little ones here, or hasn’t even visited yet this spring, nor has “Fifi la phew” or their relatives, which is very unusual in the 20 years we have lived here. Which all might have to do with several of our other furr y friends facing another long cold winter and the fact that our farm dogs “Walker” and “Rayna with a Y” were walking and visiting neighbours. I had a problem. The dogs were wandering for days on end, and keeping the mischievous dogs in the archery shop all winter again was a dilemma as they already chewed almost everything there was to chew. So when a loving family came along with youngsters, big hearts and an enclosed yard promising the dogs would live indoors all winter I couldn’t take no for an answer. It was very hard for my wife and I as I have had a dog since I was a teenager but when we saw how spoiled the dogs were, we knew it was the right decision. Not only did the dogs sleep indoors, they slept in bed with the entire family and they were very happy. The family also got a surprise as they bargained for taking on two dogs but unknown to all, Rayna was
pregnant. Rayna gave birth to ten pups, yup ten- so they got a dozen dogs on that deal, but being the great people they were, they were thrilled with the extended family and even kept a pup or two also. Well I dodged a bullet there as Rayna had ten pups the winter before and that was a real handful, but I missed them dearly and I was also concerned that other wild furry things would run rampart on the home front. I thought the wife’s farm kittyies wo u l d b e i n g re ate r d a n g e r fro m animals like the many coyotes that surround the property, however since the dogs have left, we have in fact seen less coyotes around. In fact, the skunks stopped coming around also, which is very strange or a coincidence. The skunks ate out of the dog’s dish, but they preferred the kittyies hard food better. Well I sure miss the company of my

dogs as they were awesome listeners and you were always right, regardless. My new furry friends are short on attention span.

The Old Way or the Highway Franklin Wolters Columnist
How well I can remember Dad telli n g b ro a n d I th at we had two choices if we didn’t like the way things were done, yeah, that’s right!! Seems he was used to the same old, same old, and that’s the way it would continue o n h i s w a t c h . U s y o u n g u n ’s fe l t the time was long past that the old tedious ways had to be, if not done away with, then at least made to be more energy efficient and enable us to do more with less time and energy. Dad resisted us at every turn. We had to resort to the idea that if he wanted it done his way, he would have to do it himself!! Thankfully, Dad realized that bro and I were good workers and seemed to be doing things in a reasonable way. Some way or other we did win a few battles but the war was far from over. In our generation so many advances in farming had occurred and it’s little wonder folks my Dads’ age had been left behind. In our time the idea of hydraulics was just starting to happen after the war, and its advantages over the old power lift systems were hard for the older folks to realize. It took a lot of doing to convince Dad to invest in the needed par ts that could make it possible to adapt the old equipment to the new idea. We took the differential out of the major mainly because the lift didn’t work and that helped convince Dad a change was
needed. With Elmer’s welding talents and Eddie Morins help we put hydraulics on the Major. That opened the door for the opportunity to use a new fangled deep tillage cultivator. With the first money I made from raising hogs, I bought the first deep tillage cultivator we had. Dad refused to have any kind of cultivato r, insistin g that the lan d had to be turned over, plowed to be exact. Now we young guys hated that mulboard plow with its stupid release hitch and dead furrows it left behind. Things just had to change! I more or less had to sneak that cultivator home and we had to take of f th e t wo, o n e fo ot ex te n si o n s narrowed the machine to only six feet wide. The little “Perkins” Major cried its heart out pulling that six foot deep tillage, but it really loosened up those hard spots the old plow had just slid over. After I had done a field with the deep tillage, I hooked onto the one – way discer and it did a wonderful job, about then Dad drove out with our pickup and the ground was so well worked the truck could barely travel. When Dad stopped me and came over, he had a big grin on his face and he said, “You’re sure doing a great job, Frankie! The battle had been won! The next hurdle was the haying bottleneck that was so labor intensive and the hay in the stacks was such a terrible job to dig out, especially the longer tame hay and the wiry tough slough hay. That all changed when we got the Allis Chalmers round baler that soon had our neighbors convinced too!

TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:
Q: I'M BUYING A HOME WITH HOT WATER HEAT. WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I SHOULD CHECK ON THE BOILER?
A:
first of all boilers use water to distribute heat. Anyone who has been a homeowner for any length of time can tell you how destructive water can be. This is also true in a builder system. The water in the lines can ruin the boiler in short order. If you live in a rural area and the boiler water is supplied by a well you will want to pay close attention. The heat in a boiler tends to bring the worst impurities out of the water. These impurities in turn tend to destroy the boiler over time. The best approach is to add rust inhibitors into the water if you have a closed loop system. If you're heating the slab in the garage I strongly recommend that you add glycol as well to prevent freezing. If you are in a city or town your system may not be a closed loop and my suggestions will not apply. WWW.BORDERHI.COM/POSTS
Our little farm was perhaps one of the last in the area to park the old threshing machine and get a combine. Dad wanted his straw in a nice pile, and felt the extra work was worth it because all the light grain, chaff etc was in the stack and benefited his cows. He had a good argument there and it didn’t please him to run around trying to bale the straw and leave the chaff and the good cattle feed scattered on the ground, as well as the weed seeds!! We solved that by pulling a chaff saver wagon behind the combine and installed a blower to blow everything that came over the sieves into it. Dad never lived to see that though, but he did have good ideas too, he loved to ride his saddle horse and spend an afternoon cutting cattle out and chasing them back home a day after we’d turned them out. Try that some time. He loved the challenge and couldn’t see why we’d spoil all the fun cutting them out in the corral at home. Yeah, we had
some real hard fought out struggles over that. Dad also figured that bulls had to be chased to and from on horseback too. I’ve written about that and how it changed when we got a nice two ton truck, and built a bull proof stock rack on it. Old traditions die hard and Dad didn’t like the idea of hauling his bulls. We also gathered our strays come fall from the neighbors instead of the long chase home with a horse in the cold. Once we had a baler we used an old truck rigged up to haul the bales and had all our feed stacked at home and that did away with the long cold open sleigh hay rack rides from before , so many things are common now that had their start when I was young and I’m here to tell you some of those century old traditional ways of doing things died slow painful death and were not missed once they were in the past.

Letter To Your Future Self Margaret Lonsdale Columnist
Imagine that, one day during your final year of high school, you sit quietly and compose a letter to your future self. You compose it knowing that its content is for your eyes only. It is uncensored, personal. The letter is written as honestly as you can manage. The words represent you, as you are at age 17, 18, or 19 years. The form of the letter, the length of it, its appearance, its purpose---everything about it----is determined by you. It will be opened in another quiet moment, on the eve of your fortieth birthday. The letter might speak of your relief at escaping from school after what seems already like a lifetime of restriction and imposition. It may express your anticipation of life beyond institutions. The words may be rife with bravado and the expectation of adventure. Your words may reflect
impatience, your readiness to rush into what awaits you in the world. You might write that your specific plans are unclear. You just want to get on with them. You’re ready for a collision with your own undecided future. Bring it on. Your letter may express a certain melancholy. You’re aware that school years are the never alone years. Even if you’ve felt restless since grade eight, you know you might miss the routine. Maybe you resent that you’re supposed to show up at the same time five days a week, but you like it, too. You might write about hesitation, of knowing that after this year, some of the people you see every day---even the ones you don’t particularly want to see----might dissolve into vapour. You may never see them again, nor they you. You might write that you’re a little nervous about stepping alone in the unknown. If you’ve made definite plans about what you will do, the content of your letter might be completely about what is yet to come. Each phrase might describe what you
imagine your life will be later, as though you can already see a future mapped out with precision in full technicolor. You might have been planning since you turned twelve, and your words shout your confidence. Your letter gives no indication that you expect any obstacles. Your path is clear and you need only to walk it. You can already see yourself in five, ten, or twenty years, although not quite as an old person. Your letter may read like a review. It may meticulously document your perception of life thus far. There may be names mentioned. Names of people who have significantly affected how you feel about yourself now and how you perceive your readiness to navigate life as an adult. You may describe events as you remember them, including vivid details that have embedded themselves within, become a part of you. Your words, some of them, might be angry ones. It feels good to write them. By the end, you might be surprised that the events seem less important now that they’re written down. They hold less
Vermilion Women’s Connection Sue Chikie Reporter
On Friday, June 13 at 10:30 a.m., the Vermilion Women’s Connection will be featuring a new Vermilion business called Glamour and Glitz at the Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church at 4709-43 Street. There will also be speaker’s workshop. Denise Rogan is the business owner of Glamour and Glitz for Event Rentals. The morning will include speaker, Adena Paget, Regional Director for Stonecroft Canada and National Speaker Coordinator. Adena believes everyone has a story and she will encourage women to organize and write down their stories in an interesting and inspiring way, even if they don’t have a desire to3” become public speaker wide aversion
power over you. Maybe your letter, when you read it one more time before sealing it, reads as though it were a prayer. When you reflect upon what it is you believe to be important or what might become of you in the future, all you can conjure up is an unsteady, foggy scene. You don’t know anything. You just don’t know. So you write down in the best way you can think of that you hope somehow things will turn out alright. Something will guide you and you will get to where it is you are supposed to go. Even though right now you feel unsure about just about everything, you trust that, eventually, you will become. You will become. You write the letter and seal it in an envelope. On the envelope, you write your own name and the year of your 40th birthday. The only decision you must make today is where to store the letter. You look for a place that ensures your privacy. Protection from the elements over time.

Hames
Dawns Eats Dawn Hames Columnist
Macaroni Salad With Cheese And Ham Salads are always a great accompaniment for summer barbeques and outdoor dining. Macaroni salad is a classic that is quick and easy to make. This recipe with cheese and ham can also be used as the main part of a meal. If you are cooking for people that are wheat or gluten sensitive, I have found that brown rice pasta is a wonderful substitute. Brown rice macaroni is delicious when the salad is to be eaten right away. If it is refrigerated for any
length of time, rice macaroni has a slightly different texture than wheat macaroni. I like this recipe because it uses a mall about of mayonnaise and adds in healthy olive oil. The vinegar, olive oil, cheese and ham help to steady the blood sugar and reduce the glycemic index of the pasta. Cubed roast chicken or cubed canned chicken can be substituted for the ham. For a Mediterranean flavor other salad combination additions can be diced black olives, chopped sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, chopped sweet pickles, green onions and Italian seasoning depending on your preferences. For a Greek twist use feta cheese instead of cheddar, add black

This prestigious award is given for such things as participation at the Provincial Chamber level, continued grow th of local chamber, work on behalf of membership, and work with local government. The Executive of Alberta Chambers of Commerce (ACC) chose Vermilion as the 2013 Chamber
of the Year, citing our strong line-up of events, weekly newsletter, activity at provincial events and the dedication of the board and staff.

2 tablespoons of vinegar 3/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons minced onion Cook, drain and cool the macaroni. It is a good idea to add a little cooking oil to the pot when cooking the pasta to help prevent it from sticking together. While the macaroni is cooling chop the celery, the peppers, the cheese and the ham. Combine the remaining dressing ingredients with the macaroni and chopped foods and mix gently to combine.

Construction For A New Co-op Grocery Store Begins
The machines moved in to start breaking ground for the new Eastalta Co-op food store being built just east of its current store at 5015 - 51 Avenue in Vermilion. The announcement of the construction was made back on September 5, 2013 and the designs revealed a modern-looking 33,000 square foot building for Co-op shoppers to look forward to. Crews began removing the pavement and cement from the former parking lot last week and the construction is hoped to be complete by March of 2015. The project will be completed in four phases; demolition of the old lot and former foundation of the hardware store, construction of the new building, demolition of the current food store and finally the construction of the parking lot and approaches. Consideration is being given to the environment as the pavement and cement from the parking lot is being recycled to be reused in other projects. Eastalta General Manager Gerald Hiebert, said the new store will feature energy efficient coolers and lights making for a more pleasurable shopping experience. He also said things are progressing nicely and the project is expected to finish under the $9.3 million budget. There will be very little disruption to shoppers as Hiebert says the moving process will not take place until the complete construction is done. The move will incorporate numerous staff and management, making the process as quick as possible. Photo Karen Nedzielski.

$50,000 Raised for Friends Of Clandonald
Community members and supporters of the Clandonald School gathered on June 7 for a fundraising auction and afternoon of fun, all in hopes of raising approximately $25,000 for the organization, whose focus is on trying to make the community more appealing to help bring families to the area. Friends of Clandonald Secretary Laurie Hopluk, said the total money raised was more than double what was expected thanks to the generosity of the community as a whole. Along with the auction was a perogy eating contest which was won by Jason McPhee who ate 12 perogies in the fastest time. The $25,000 goal is going to be used for the after school program and the excess will be forwarded on to the “Grow the Community, Grow the School” project. Pictured left, is Teddy Etherington providing wagon rides to those in attendance of the fundraiser in Clandonald last Saturday as Lauren McCormack, Joe VanPeteghan enjoyed the ride through the village.

Community Learning Cafe Provides CLASS Ideas Karen Nedzielski Reporter In order to raise awareness about adult learning in the Vermilion River area, Community Learning for Adult Students Society (CLASS) held a Community Learning Cafe at the Elks Hall on June 4 to bring community members together in a collaborative effort to share strategies and insight to help meet the needs of adult learners. The lunch-time meeting had presentations from Lindsey Manz and Ryan Day with Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education, Michael Crow - Dean of Teaching for Lakeland College, MaryLee Prior with the Good Life Institute and CLASS CEO, Chandra Blair. Through the presentations, attendees learned there are 123 organizations delivering adult learning opportunities in programs across Alberta which include adult and family literacy, English language, essential skills and other community needs. The presentation from Lindsey Manz revealed that approximately 40 per cent of Albertans possess literacy levels below
a Grade 12 level with the national average being 48 per cent. The O rganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines five levels of literacy; Level 1 being the lowest, Level 5 being highest. Within the Vermilion River area, 37 to 47 per cent of the residents demonstrate a literacy skill level of two or less. Forty-seven to 58 per cent demonstrate a numeracy skill level of 2 or more. That presentation also revealed that both levels tend to be the lowest in the more rural areas of the County. CLASS CEO Chandra Blair presented on behalf of the organization whose vision is the progressive community learning centre dedicated to supporting, delivering and coordinating learning opportunities in the County of Vermilion River. After a traditional Mexican lunch, community organizers participated in brain storming through a community learning conversation session and were then asked to present their findings on a number of questions posed to them. The organization has a number of community partners to help deliver the services provided which are funded partially by Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education through the Commu-

Vermilion’s Beckie Scott Awarded U Of A Honorary Degree Karen Nedzielski Reporter
On June 4, Vermilion native and th re e-ti m e Cro s s C o u ntr y Ski i n g Olympian Beckie Scott received an H o n o ra r y D o c to r of L aws D e gre e from the University of Alberta. D r. Ke r r y M u m m e r y, D e a n with the facult y of Physical Edu catio n and Recreation for the University of Alberta, was charged with introducing Beck Scott and awarding her with the Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the University. D r. M u m m e r y ’ s i n t r o d u c t i o n included that Scott has served the last eight years as one of 12 athletes to b e elec ted by her p eers to the International Olympic Committee’s Athlete Commission, contributing to the Olympics in Beijing, Vancouver, London and Sochi. She is also an advocate for a drug fre e sp o r t fo r a ll ath l etes, se r ving on the Executive Committee for
the World Anti-Doping Agency. “She is a champion in every sense of the word,” Dr. Mummery said. University of Alberta Chancellor Ralph Young said it was in recognition of Scott’s outstanding contributions to young athletes with the highest ethical standards in international spor ts, that she was awarded the Honourary Doctor of Law degree. D r. Re b e cc a S cot t th a n ke d th e members of the convocation ceremonies saying she was deeply honoured a n d m ove d to b e i n c l u d e d i n th e “ finish line celeb rations” in what she said was a long, challenging but rewarding journey for all. Scott said sh e th o u ght lo n g a n d ha rd a b o ut what she wanted to talk about in her address to the graduates and felt the most important topic she wanted to speak about was failure. “Failure and how we respond to it is actually the greatest teacher there is,” said Scott. Scott, who grew up on the edge of the Vermilion Provincial Park, said the
more she raced, the more she knew that was her path and was exactly where she belonged. At 19 she had met the criteria to join the national cross country ski team which meant she would start racing the world cup circuit in Europe full time. “A dream come true” for her. She said she was young, confident and blissfully unaware of what lay ahead of her. At that time, the Canadian team was one of the worst p e r fo r min g te a m s o n th e circu it. She said her dreams of becoming an Olympic athlete were completely and utterly destroyed nearly every time sh e ra ce d. S cot t e n d u re d cr u shing defeats and terrible heartbreaking results on a regular basis. At that time she said she questioned whether or not she really did belong. Scott said it was hard to continue an d p ersevere but held o n to th e notion that she did not know that it (obtaining and Olympic medal) could be done, but also did not know that it could not. She said that starting at
the back of the pack was really the best place to begin and by starting at the bottom learned so much about resistance, resilience, commitment; everything it took to achieve her goal. Once climbing to the top of the results page it was there that she says she was confronted with “one of the most toxic threats to sport that there is,” the use of performance enhancing drugs. She said she was devastated and furious with the confrontation. She talked with her mom who explained to her “if she knows there’s a problem, and you are not trying to change it, then you are also part of the problem.” She was then confronted with the choice to either go along with the doping and cheats of the sport, or try to make change. Scott said although it was not the easy choice, confronting the most powerful individuals and organizations in international sport about what was going on would prove to be a difficult task. She says it was the only way the sport would ever see

Former Vermilion Resident Set To Perform At Vermilion Fair Karen Nedzielski Reporter
Danielle Marie King was born and raised in Vermilion until the age of 7 when she and her family moved to the small hamlet of Cardiff Echoes until two years ago, when she and her family moved into the city to pursue elite programs such as hockey, dance and synchro. One day while snowboarding on a family ski trip, Danielle injured her knee which later required surgery, forcing her to take a break from her l ove fo r th e d is ci p l i n e d b a l l ro o m dance competitions she participated in on an international level.

Honour Father Shirley I Scott, Walking Through Grief Society Submitted
June is the month we remember and honour Father. Truly a Father has a huge responsibility in the role modelling the Man image. They are teacher, provider, fixer and need to be, both strong and yet kind and compassionate. To be a balance of strong/gentle, teacher/ learner, fixer /yet know their own limits and be a safe place. Often the world is turned upside down and inside out and the strong es t ma n is sha ken by d eath of a parent, child, spouse, family member or friend or a relationship ceases and is broken. A dream dies for the future or what could have been. If their father had been a more posi-
tive role model, if there hadn’t been abuse, if their family was still whole and not fragmented. If they could have handled life in a more positive way. When these losses are experienced one is left vulnerable, shaken and ‘naked’ so to speak. How can one model strength in the midst of such loss and pain? The my th of Society is that “big boys don’t cry” and “tough it out”. T h a t i s i m p o s si b l e w i th a b ro ke n heart. I t i s k n ow n th e re a re d i f fe re n t grieving patterns and many factors that affect how one grieves but take heart there is no one way to grieve nor is there a right or wrong way or a specific time to be “over grieving”. O n e thin g to n ote that o n e n ever need to stay stuck in grief but there are always suppor ts and counsellors to assist in finding good coping
skills through the grief journey to a “new normal” state of life. Never be afraid to reach out and l e a r n s o m e c o p i n g s k i l l s to h e a l healthy ,and whole. Don’t stuff your emotions but find a healthy way to work through your grief. ( There is strength in weakness). Find supporti ve fr i e n d s w h o a re u n d e r s t a n ding, read information on the grief process, listen and seek out counsellors or a good support group. Self medicating with substances is not a healthy way to process grief but only numbs grief and one still has to face the impact of grief. Sometimes years later. Find routine in your out of control world. That helps normalize your life. Your loss is unique and cannot be compared to anyone else’s. ( Your personality, other losses,
coping mechanisms, age, attitudes to death loss and grief, social supports and acceptance of myth of expectations that Man is strong and does not feel deep emotions.) Commit to doing the hard work of grieving. In doing so the role model of Man and Father will be there for others to learn from. A Cut Finger A c u t f i n g e r i s n u m b b e fo r e i t bleeds, it bleeds before it hurts, it hurts until it begins to heal, it forms a scab and itches until finally, the scab is gone and a small scar is left where once there was a wound. Grief is the deepest wound you have ever had. Like a cut finger, it goes through stages and leaves a scar. ~ Doug Manning - Please Don’t Take My Grief Away.

Seniors Week Capsule of Life Fundraiser BBQ Lorna Hamilton Reporter
For the past 14 years the Town of Vermilion along with the County of Vermilion River, have participated in Seniors Week and this year was no different. On June 3 there was a Senior Week Life Capsule BBQ fundraiser held at the Vermilion Town Hall Park which was open to the community to drop by and purchase a hamburger and bottle of water for $4 with all proceeds being used to purchase Capsules of Life. The Capsule of Life contains a blank information form for an individual to
give pertinent data regarding the individual’s doctor, allergies, next of kin, etc. The completed form is then placed in the capsule and then placed inside your refrigerator, with a magnet on the outside of it, to show EMS personnel you participate in the program. Many members of the community came out to enjoy a beautiful sunny day and socialize with others while they supported the Capsule of Life fundraiser. Mayor Bruce MacDuff was in attendance helping Director of Community Services Shawn Bell, and Town Councilor Rob Pulyk, serve burgers for the event.

Vermilion Elementary School Karen King Submitted Grade 4 Visit Fort Edmonton Park And Travel Through Time Museum in PV The Grade 4 classes travelled to Fort Edmonton on May 29. Students toured the trading post, a Cree Village and John Rowand’s house and learned some of the ways things w e r e d o n e i n t h e l a t e 18 0 0 s a t For t Edmonton. Students learned about the fur trade and settlement in Alber ta. After touring the For t, students made bannock and did beading. Many students realized how life was very different back then. Some highlights of the trip included riding on the steam train and street car, John Rowand’s house had original items like the chess board and real glass windows which were unique for that time, they traded many different furs, and the colours on the Hudson Bay Company blanket were blue, red, yell ow a n d g re en which were th e same colours as on the Cree medicine wheel. We would like to extend a great big thank you to all the parents who supervised and shared the day with us. It was a wonderful learning experience, even in the rain. Grade 1 students ‘Climbed through Time’ at the Paradise Valley Museum. They were fortunate to have sunny
weather and nine parent volunteers to assist leading groups through the museum that focuses on a community and life from the past to current day. As a portion of their Social Studies unit, Long Ago and Today, the Grade 1 class also played games that children would have played from long ago including marbles, jacks, pickup sticks and barrel of monkeys. They were thrilled to have such great hosts at the museum. The volunteers even made them cookies and rice crispy squares. The day ended by visiting the PV fair grounds and taking a drive past the main street to compare it to our community of Vermilion. May 30 was the final physical literac y class with Cur tis G orkoff and Tami Klatt. They brought in some fire/medical students who set up an obstacle course and showed students their gear. Curtis and Tami also had a certificate for each student. VES appreciates the support and knowledge we received from these two individuals. Once again, the JR staff welcomed the Grade 6 class to their school for Orientation Day. For an entire day, the Grade 6 became junior high students as they travelled the halls and participated in lessons prepared by their future teachers. The day consisted of a tour of the options, science experiments, multiplication war, writing letters, Canadian history quiz, and
a very delicious lunch. A huge thank you goes out to JR in helping us make the transition to a new school less daunting. Dates to Remember are June 9-10 – Grade 6 Camp, June 12 – Twin Day (dress up), June 13 – Grade 3 ELA PAT, June 16 – Grade 3 Math PAT, June 18 – Grade 6 ELA PAT, June 18 and 19 – Kindergarten Grad at 12,

Field Trips For St. Jerome’s Students On Friday, May 30, the Grade 1 and 2 classes visited Fort George/Buckingham House. While they were there the students learned about fur trading in the late 1700s and how the First Nations people lived. They loved riding on the ponies they made to hunt bison in the field near the fort. They were able to play games that First Nation’s children played and learned the strategies of a bison hunt before heading out to the field where a bison was sighted. The Grade 3 class observed the life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly. They successfully raised and released 30 Painted Ladies onto the playground the last week of May as part of the Lifecycle science unit. On Tuesday, June 3 the middle level and high school students and staff
converged onto Pioneer Park for a day of slow-pitch. The day started off sunny with all the teams eager to see who would take top spot this year. In the High School Division Mr. Sommer’s te a m we n t u n d efe a te d a n d we re winning the championship game before the rain came. In the Middle Level Division Mr. Whelan and Ms. Partington were playing the championship game before it was stopped due to the inclement weather. Everyone had a great day and would especially like to thank the Knights of Columbus for providing hot dogs and juice for lunch. Mrs. Gnyra’s class did a fabulous performance for May Happigrams. Her class acted out the story “The Road from Here to There”, which taught the lesson that the best way to deal with a difficult situation is by using kind words and actions. They concluded by singing the song “The Colours of the Rainbow”. Congratulations to all the May Happigram winners for their hard
work and accomplishments. The Middle Level also held their May Recognition Awards. Congratulation to all the winners! We celebrated our last School Mass with Father Roger last week. His words of encouragement to keep our focus on Christ and show His love to others even during the summer months were a great reminder for all of us. The Final Exam Schedule and Provincial Exam Dates are posted on the St. Jerome’s website as well as in the weekly newsletters. The last day for classes for Grade 9, 11 and 12 is Thursday, June 19.

Jul. 23-Aug. 22 Adventure will be the name of the game. Focus on love, romance and spending time with someone who brings out the best in you. Discuss your plans and make a commitment that will help bring you closer to your personal goals.
Apr. 20-May 20
Gemini
Keep a steady pace. Focus on finishing what you start. Use your imagination and you will find a solution. Staying calm and moving with the current will help you reach your destination unscathed. Love is highlighted.
Jun. 21-Jul. 22 Your excellent memory will serve you well when expressing your concerns. Don't let anger override your knowledge and expertise regarding a subject you feel strongly about. Love is in the stars, and romance will make a difference in a relationship.
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Aug. 23-Sept. 22 Don't let debt bring you down. Cut your losses. It's time to make decisions based on your best interests instead of trying to please everyone around you. Love is highlighted, and the right choice now will ensure a brighter future.
Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Emotional issues will mount if you try to do too much for someone who is ungrateful. Take a step back and focus on what you can do in your own best interests. Keep your conversations short and precise.
Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Keep an open mind, but don't believe everything you hear. Don't leave a job unfinished if it may end up costing you professionally. Take care of your responsibilities first so you can enjoy any plans you have made for the evening hours.
Cancer
May 21-Jun. 20 You'll be unpredictable, engaging and probably send the wrong signals to someone who has a vested interest in you. Try to be forthright about how you feel to avoid a misunderstanding. A physical challenge will do you good.
Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Keep your personal matters in check. You cannot buy love. Try your best to keep things running smoothly by discussing what you are willing to do and what you expect in return. Arguments and unexpected reactions are evident. Proceed with caution.
Jan. 20-Feb. 18 You've got all the right moves and the intelligence to make your dreams come true. Invest in your home, your ideas and your future. Altering the way you earn your living will pay off. Don't take a risk, but embrace positive change.
Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Explore new destinations. Trying something you've never done before will spark enthusiasm and get you thinking about ways you can improve your environment. Enjoying time with someone special will lead to a better relationship.
Pisces
Feb. 19-Mar. 20 Pick and choose wisely. Don't let anyone lead you astray. Confusion will set in if you try to do too much for others and neglect your own needs. Speak up -- its time to lay your cards on the table.

Dewberry School News Susanna Pankiw, Dewberry School Submitted Showers of Success In the stormy current of life characters are weights or floats which at one time make us glide along the bottom, and at another maintain us on the surface. – Hippolyte Taine Over the course of this last week Dewberry School was showered with successes of many kinds. From bottle drives to track and field and even weekend races, students and staff members were involved in striving for and improving on their personal best! For several days we had a stream of donations brought in for the bottle drive. $291.35 in bottles was collected, that’s enough to cover seven weeks of our school’s breakfast club’s supplies! Way to go, team! We thank everyone who donated and especially Don from the Clandonald Bottle Depot for his donation of the trailer as well as his time in counting and calculating the bottles. May 31, brought about a pitter-patter of runners to racing events around the area. Keeagan Rewuski took some time out of his weekend to attend the Walk/ Run for the Hills in Two Hills. He placed first in the 10k run! What fantastic timing, Keeagan! Heading north to Cold Lake, both Shannon Bakos and Susanna Pankiw participated in the 4 Wings Community Run. Mrs. Bakos completed her 5k run, placing fifth as well as recording a personal best. Mrs. Pankiw completed the half marathon (21.1k) in 2:06:38, just a few minutes shy of her personal best.
The junior high students definitely were creating character as they floated along in the BTPS Junior High track meet in Paradise Valley. With lots of work and determination they proved they belonged at the top. The results for the meet were as follows: Kyra Weidmark – first in high jump and 400m, second in 100m, fifth in long jump, Keagan Rewuski – fourth in 100m, Kenedi Wood second in 800m and 1500m, sixth in 200m, Cole Rewuski eighth in 200m and Tyler Manchen fourth
in 800. What a fantastic effort! The anticipation of Elementary Track was washed away as the rain fell like an ocean thrown from the sky and flooded out the track and turned our field into a swamp. Junior athletes from Dewberry, Clandonald and Marwayne schools will just have to wait until next week to show us what their character is made up of! Let’s all hope and pray for sunshine to smile down on us on June 10. As this story goes to print we wish
Torin Johre luck in his event in the high school provincial track meet in Calgary! Get that javelin arm warmed up and show the province the thunderstorm you can create! There will always be storms along the pathway of life but it builds character and makes you into the person you were meant to be. It is what a person does with these storms that proves whether you will float and continue to skim along the top or become a weight and sink to the bottom. In the words of John Hays Hammond, “Character is the real foundation of all worthwhile success.”

Tim Horton’s Camp Day
Tim Horton’s locations across the nation were celebrating Kids Camp Day on June 4, as they donated all the proceeds from the day’s coffee sales towards helping less fortunate children have the chance to attend a summer camp. Vermilion’s Tim Horton’s saw a number of local personalities help the cause by serving up the hot favourite beverage and Mayor Bruce MacDuff was one of the first to take a shift to help the cause. Mayor MacDuff said he enjoyed the morning and the customers were very understanding with the slightly slower service. This year the Vermilion Tim Horton’s location raised approximately $4,100 and last year the event raised $11.8 million nation-wide for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. Photo submitted.
