Puckster and Indigo Series Writer Shared Trade Secrets Nicole Crossan Reporter

Lorna Schultz Nicolson is a writer, presenter, and speaker who just moved to Edmonton two weeks ago, after being in Calgary for the better part of 18 years. Nicholson grew up in St. Catherines, Ontario where she got her start as a writer.

She has published 30 novels and non-fiction books mostly for young adults and children. Her Puckster series are popular children’s picture books, and her Indigo series is popular among young adults. She has also written six or more non-fiction books on hockey. Praise abounds from reviewers of her Indigo series books. “Through Indigo’s Eyes is one of the

most engaging stories you will ever read. It is filled with insight, intrigue and fascination. A compelling read. This novel is destined to be an International sensation,” Peggy McColl, New York Times best-selling author said. Nicolson launched two new books in her Puckster series four days before she came to Vermilion on October 18 and will be visiting schools throughout Medi-

cine Hat from October 20-23. At the workshop in Vermilion, registrants had the opportunity to create characters and then create conflicts that would happen with those characters. As class members shared their story ideas, character outlines, and conflicts they were privileged to receive wise counsel and advice from a published writer who knows her market well.

Scotia Bank Game Changer Presentation

Karen Nedzielski Reporter

Viking, Alberta’s Brian Rozmahel says he feels “a little out of his league” with his nomination to the Scotiabank’s Game Changer program. The Game Changer program is a joint initiative with Scotiabank and the CFL’s three teams - Edmonton Eskimos, Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger Cats - which recognizes local heroes in communities and gives them the opportunity to enrich the registered not-for-profit or charity of their choice. Rozmahel was nominated by his niece Jaimee Russnak, for the work he has done in his community of Viking. In the nomination submitted, Russnak said Rozmahel has demonstrated leadership in many facets, including social and environmental areas and is a breath of fresh air in their community. This includes his more than 25 years of volunteering with the Kindred Spirits Youth Group, of which he has led youths in his community to engage in healthy activities outside of the school setting as well as fundraising for various charities both within his community and internationally. “Brian truly leads by example, displaying an untiring enthusiasm and passion for each project he tackles and encourages others to become involved,” Russnak’s nomination continued. “His passion, infectious smile, dedication and love for helping others truly make him a game changer.” For being nominated, Rozmahel has earned $1,000 for his charity of choice, the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which helps provide support for those struggling with HIV/AIDS in Africa. He also earned a trip to the September 6 football game between Edmonton and Calgary where, along with his wife Dodi,

and twin nieces Jaimee and Jill Russnak, were treated to an afternoon of events with the Eskimos, including watching a warmup practice at field-level. He was also given a commemorative Eskimos Game Changer jersey and a football, signed by the entire team. Rozmahel also was included in the official coin toss at the beginning of the game. Russnak said it was a great game and the seats were fantastic, but there was a bit of friendly, family rivalry as she cheered for her favourite team, the Calgary’s Stampeders, as Rozmahel cheered for the Eskimos. It only seemed fitting that the official cheque presentation took place on October 17 at the Vermilion Scotiabank branch as financial planner Jenna Betz is also originally from Viking.

Thank You

VERMILION

To the community of Vermilion,

I would like to thank you for all of the support and encouragement you have given me and our store for the past two years. As most of our customers have heard, Harps Family Foods has been under new ownership since September 2014. Glynn and Angie McDonald have purchased the store and are excited to make Vermilion their new home along with their young children. Glynn is a third generation grocery store owner who has managed his store in Hudson Bay Saskatchewan for over 25 years. I cannot imagine a more suitable owner to operate the grocery store and I am excited to welcome the McDonald's to our thriving community. We have been fortunate enough to attract employees both locally and across Canada. It is because of them our store has become very successful. They have helped to build a platform on which Harps Family Foods will continue to serve the community for years to come. I want to thank them deeply for all their contributions. With the support of Vermilion, we have been able to successfully redevelop Lakeland Mall and create a vibrant shopping experience under one roof. Over the past two years we have been diligently working to fill the needs of our retail market and I believe we have been very successful. After experiencing our Town's warm welcome and unconditional support, I am excited to continue investing in our community. I have recently decided to move forward with additional ventures in Vermilion, which I will be announcing in the near future. Thank you again for your continuous support for Harps Family Foods and towards our hard working staff at Lakeland Mall. I trust you will provide the same amount of support and encouragement to Glynn and Angie McDonald. Warmest Regards,

Harp Khela

Partnership Breakfast Recognizes Ambassadors Nicole Crossan Reporter

The County of Vermilion River and associates congratulated three new inductees to the Vermilion Ambassador program: Orest Popil, Lynda Moses, and honorary ambassador Barbara Mills at the Partnership Breakfast. Popil was recognized for his dedication to maintaining a ‘rat free’ County, while Moses was congratulated for her volunteer work with the Community Christmas Dinner which has been running since 2006. “I’m happiest when I’m helping others,” Moses stated. She also volunteers as a CLASS board member and is on the advisory committee. Others are invited to nominate future Vermilion Ambassadors by completing an ambassador form. Barbara Mills frequently contributes to

the media and used to work for CBC. She has built and sold three companies and lives in Bragg Creek outside of Calgary. She says she is a very practical person. “I just want you to have take aways,” Mills began, then she proceeded to teach visitors what they could do to retain their employees. “If you do not grow your people, they leave,” Mills explained. “Growth is the number one strategy in business.” She says employers have a tendency to judge their employees too harshly when they have capacities beyond belief. Instead of judging, Mills made her first retention suggestion. She challenged employers to live by the mantra she lives by; Leave people better than you find them. “It doesn’t cost them anything,” Mills explained and used examples to explain how it would

make their workplaces more productive so that their employees would be happier and there wouldn’t be such a high rate of turnover. “The art of motivating people is to have a listening meeting every quarter,” Mills added. Ninety per cent of Mills’ business is with shopping centers. There are high costs to losing an employee when we consider the costs of advertising, hours spent training a new employee, and the cost of any necessary courses required to train them. For that reason, retention equals value.

A third suggestion Mills made to retain employees was to offer perks like extracurricular training. If her suggestions are put into practice, Mills predicts, “The economy is going to grow because we do business better.” The companies and organizations in attendance at the Regional Centre on October 16 came from the Agricultural; Retail and Service; Education and Government; and other sectors. According to a poll taken at the end of the event, the majority of those in attendance were from the latter two sectors.

Lynda Moses is one of the founders of the Community Christmas Dinner for people who are new to Vermilion.

Barbara Mills motivated employers to retain their employees by listening to them more often and received a honourary Ambassador award.

Shop Local... It’s what everyone talks about on a daily basis. As you sit and drink coffee at a local business here in town, you can always hear members of our community, especially the elderly, talk about shopping locally in Vermilion instead of at some big box store in the other communities. While small businesses in our community make up a large quantity of our economy there are times when shopping locally just isn’t a possibility. I fully believe in shopping locally when at all possible, however unfortunately living in a small town like Vermilion that isn’t always an option. I for one, do find myself travelling outside to get items I just can’t get

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Nothing scares me more. Now more than ever we need to have principled, conservative representatives in Ottawa that share our values and will stand up for our priorities. I have been grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement since announcing my intention to run for the federal Conservative nomination for Lakeland. Our team has been working hard selling memberships across the constituency, but there is still more work to do, and we still need your help during this nomination campaign. As I have been crisscrossing Lakeland, I have heard loud and clear that you want to ensure Prime Minister Stephen Harper has a team behind him that will fight to balance the budget while focusing on priorities, supporting individuals, families, farmers and small businesses, keeping our communities safe, and defending our values. With your help, I hope to be your representative in Ottawa and ensure that your priorities are on the national agenda. Northeastern Alberta is the economic engine of our country and provides benefits and employment right across Canada. Like you, I believe that when Alberta does well, Canada does well.

I h o p e yo u a n d yours had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving and long weekend. That sage aroma still lingers in our home, and Hiyoou the cat and I have already picked that big bird down to a skeleton. We have a lot to be thankful for, not just in our daily life, but also because we live in Canada. With all that’s going on in the world I am very thankful for what I have. It was quiet as our daughters and grandchild had other commitments so it was relaxing. Well, in one sense, in the spirit of Thanksgiving I completed my harvest, my garden that is. Digging potatoes is back breaking work and I knew I was gonna pay for it, but I couldn’t let them ground gems freeze. The weather was perfect so I grabbed the wheelbarrow and a shovel and got at it. Not as great a year as last year for potatoes as it was kind of weird. One hill was plentiful while others were sparse compared to other years. Last year I could fill a wheelbarrow with three “super hills” and this year it took twice that. In the hills that were sparse, there would be dozens of little nugget potatoes, great for eating fresh but not great for the potatoe bin for winter. And then there was the mole/moles. Unknown to me it had subway from hill to hill in areas just like a fast food restaurant right in the underground subway but most of the big potatoes were only half eaten. It almost looked as he scooted thru the subway system, he would stop off and grab a fast bite and be on its way, ruined a lot of potatoes, but as bad as it all was, that’s why I plant more than we need. I still ended up with the bin full, enough to last the winter and still have seed potatoes

The World’s Most Challenging Trophy Franklin Wolters Columnist

Back down the trail of life a- ways, my friend Bill Carey who was also a fishing and first rate hunting buddy, introduced me to Russ Thornberry who had written books on “White-tail deer hunting,” Russ had set up a hunting camp on the “Battle River”, and promoted it to the point it attracted hunters from all over the States, I met men who had bagged all seven species of “Big horn” sheep, had hunted trophies in Africa and “Kodiak” bears in Alaska even, but had never had the luck to put their name on a “White tail” that would score 170 points on the “Boone and Crocket”, trophy club, even tho most had hunted deer in several areas down South!! Now the long cold winters up here, coupled with the best of fodder, has fine tuned our “White tails”, to be the best any where it seems. These men were prepared to pay whatever and do whatever they had to, just to get a decent one of those critters. The dedication shown by these wealthy, “For the most part”, men were something to witness. Most came from warmer climates and had no idea of what minus 20 Fahrenheit could feel like, especially sitting out in it for an afternoon or long morning. We’d set up towers along known deer runways and leave the hunters there for as long as they could stand it!! There was a super cook at camp that had food ready at all hours and coffee and pie to go with it. Any stand had to be kept as free from human scent as possible, so all urine was bottled and carried far from the area, just a little detail I learned. Those

hunters never missed a trick. The evenings were made up of lengthy BS sessions and some of the hunters let their hair down and tipped a few I’m afraid. One of my hunters was the Senior Executive for Grove cranes that you’ve probably seen around. One day during the mid day lull Leo and I were scouting new areas when crossing an open field in my ½ ton a huge White-tail came out into the open, (rare sight), following a doe scent likely, and there he was trophy of a lifetime, I looked over and there was Leo sound asleep, dead to the world. I turned the truck so he could get out of the truck unseen and get his shot. I had to shake him awake and he blundered out of the truck and fell flat on his back. By the time he got up and clear, the deer had shifted into his top gear and was getting gone. Leo emptied his rifle at the fleeing deer and I don’t think he came closer than twenty feet at any time. The deer probably stopped in the first bush and had a laugh at the White hunter!! I had a great time with most of my hunters, but we never scored a trophy. Some guys just wouldn’t stay where I left them and the deer left their tracks right by where I’d left them, but they decided they knew better soooo!!! Some of the hunters had the best of custom made rifles that cost as much as a nice vehicle or spotting scopes, binoculars or hand-made knives the like of I’ve never seen since. Once they learned I knew how to sharpen them, I did get to handle some pretty exotic, expensive toys. In my long gone treasures. I have photos of some huge deer and the hunters who did take the antlers home. I remember having all those big old monarchs signed over to me and took them into the Meat Proces-

sor in Wainwright and made into jerky and garlic sausage. That bill was huge too. The strain of trying to please those hunters who expected sure things had no idea really of how really difficult those old deer were to look out for. Many times I got them chances that should have resulted in fresh liver and bloody hands, evaporated into a flurry of “Buck fever”, and a much wiser Monarch. Ever since then I’ve gained the sense that those wise old veterans have earned their right to live and taunt the

nimrods that come after them. By the same token anyone who really studies those deer and can out smart one like my buddy Bill has, has every right to be proud to hang a trophy like a huge deer with mega points and drag tines, distinctive as a flag on a flag pole. Even living amongst them for so long the memory of seeing them is so very wonderful. May they prosper long in our land and still find country that can shelter them. We should never take them for granted, because they really are special.

Singing It Your Way

Margaret Lonsdale Columnist

Joyful singers of nonsensical lyrics, you’ve been validated. Guardian music columnist Peter Kimpton says that some song lyrics are comprised of pure nonsense and that’s just alright. Not everything about your favourite song has to be deep to be meaningful. Better, you can be imprecise and still sing along. Some songs are about the melody; lyrics are inconsequential add-ons. Cue up ‘Woolly Bully’ or ‘Louie Louie’ for fine examples of songs recognizable to three or more generations but lyrically of nil value except if considered as universal code for ‘let’s dance’. Their lyrics don’t pretend to be anything more than repetitious, catching nonsense. Sing along. Sing phonetically. Sing whatever pleases you. Music, as we know, is about much more than the music maker. The listener plays a significant role in this aural duet as well. Take the situation when a listener can’t clearly make out the words a singer is singing. Maybe the mix doesn’t allow the vocal to be heard upfront of the instrumentation. Or the vocalist’s style leans more toward emoting than articulating. These things don’t stop a listener from crooning along or grooving to a favourite tune on repeat. Music, as is the case in almost anything else experiential, does not exist in a vacuum. If we’re present, we become a part. And whether we understand correctly or not, we can make it work for us. With certain types of music, the energy associated with musical performance is as much a part of a song as is the intended message. And sometimes there is no substantive message. Some observers, Kimpton included, believe that listeners often interpret lyrics delivered with

a uniquely indecipherable vocal style in accordance with what’s relevant, what holds meaning, for us at the time of listening. We complete the story with our own syllabic savvy based in what we need to hear in that moment. One of my sons loved listening to anything by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. His fave was ‘Runnin’ Down a Drain’. Know it? He did, and joined in the chorus with great vocal exuberance whenever it played. Maybe he associated it with his nightly baths, it’s difficult to say. I still hear his version when I hear Tom singing ‘Runnin’ Down a Dream’. We like to sing along, even those among us who are tone deaf. Sometimes we choose music that reflects our moods. Lyrics can become an extension of our own circumstances. They may assist us on the way up or the way down or just to hang steady. If we can’t quite understand the lyrics, we make up some that fit. And, in the opinion of Kimpton and others like him, that’s a good thing. Is he saying that making stuff up is preferable to searching out what the lyrics really are? Not necessarily, I think. More likely he’s just pointing out that it’s okay sometimes not to know. Kimpton laments the propensity of web sites that post the actual lyrics to songs. He says something is lost when we can access all those bona fide lyrics instead of singing along with whatever brings us to imagine

that we’re a part of the process. Interesting. Those of us who listen to a lot of music are looking for what, exactly? I suppose it depends. A lot of things. For example, I could say that, as a writer, I always listen for great lyrics. Words matter to me. I might shout emphatically, ‘lyrics rule!’ Sure, but not always. The truth is it depends. While I do appreciate a great lyric, I admit there are songs I’ve played over and over again while barely hearing the lyrics, which later I’ve found to have sucked. I got caught up in the melody, the beat. The moment. Every one of us knows a good hook when we hear it. Perhaps we can sum it up with the misheard lyrics of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Boxer’, “all I suggest but a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”. Maybe it’s alright to sing it your way, even to mangle a few lyrics, if that’s what prolongs the joy. No apologies required.

Oven Roasted Tomatoes And Tomato Sauce The tomatoes from our garden are now ripening faster than we can use. Last night I made a large batch of tomato sauce and froze it in portioned containers for later use in soups, lasagne, chili or cacciatore. It was quick and easy to make up a big pot of tomato sauce, as an after work project. The best part is that I can use this homemade tomato sauce during the winter, and enjoy the great taste of our garden tomatoes. Another benefit of a homemade tomato sauce is that it has no artificial preservatives. Tonight I am making oven roasted tomatoes and the lovely aroma of herbs, garlic and tomatoes fills the kitchen with the smell of something good to eat. Fresh Garden Freezer Tomato Sauce 15 – 16 cups of tomatoes puree 2-3 tablespoons butter 3 onions, chopped 5 cloves of garlic 1 cup of finely chopped or grated carrot (optional) 1 cup finely chopped celery (optional) 1 tablespoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper In your large saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions and garlic. When they are nicely softened, remove and place in a bowl. Select ripe tomatoes, wash and remove the stem top. Process the tomatoes in a blender until puréed. I process five cups at a time in my blender. I have a small food processor that I use to finely chop the celery and the carrot.

Dawns Eats

In your large saucepan add all of the tomato puree and all the other ingredients except the onion and garlic mixture. I put this mixture into the blender with a cup of the tomato puree and blend until the onions and garlic are also puréed. Pour the onion mixture into the pot with the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a soft boil and then simmer for 20 minutes to two hours, depending on how much you want to reduce the sauce.

Allow to cool slightly before ladling into you containers for freezing. You can also recycle larger plastic yogurt or cottage cheese containers for freezing. Oven Roasted Tomatoes Small and or medium tomatoes (7-9) 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and pepper 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning 1 large clove of garlic, pressed In a small bowl combine the olive oil,

pressed garlic and Italian seasoning. Wash and cut in half, several medium or small sized ripe tomatoes. With the cut side of the tomatoes facing up, brush with the olive oil mixture, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 2-3 hours (or until they start to wrinkle) at 275 degrees. They taste great with two hours of roasting, but with three hours, the flavors really develop and deepen into yummy awesomeness.

THANK YOU BUS DRIVERS! The Board, staff and students of Buffalo Trail Public Schools, East Central Alberta Catholic Schools, and Lloydminster Public and Catholic Schools would like to thank all of our School Bus Contractors and Drivers for their dedication to school bus safety. Bus drivers play an important role in the education of our students in rural communities. Please do your part to help bus drivers keep our students safe, DO NOT PASS a school bus from either direction when the RED FLASHING LIGHTS are flashing. Amber lights are a warning to motorists following or approaching a bus that they are slowing down to make a passenger stop. Passing a school bus puts children at risk. Together we can continue to make the school bus the safest means of student transportation. If you see someone pass a school bus with its red lights flashing, please call your local RCMP and report them, it is a $402 fine and 6 demerits. Some of our contracted school buses have video cameras on the outside of their buses to catch violators.

Local Fire Department Visits Mannville Students

Susan Obrigewitch, Mannville School Submitted

Our Accelerated Reading theme for this year is DOCTOR SEUSS IS ON THE LOOSE! Thing 1 and Thing 2 are attempting to fly a kite, complete with special ribbons on the string. Each book read by our elementary students allows for us to continue placing ribbons onto the kite string. So far we completed 510 quizzes and students were excited to tie on the ribbons. Our goal and challenge this year will be to reach 3333 books! Can we succeed? Is there a possibility that Mr. Church might have to dye his hair PINK? Students are also excited to be chosen to GRAB A HAT AND READ WITH FAT CAT! Remember that we have a special thank you going out to the Credit Union for their support in our Accelerated Reading Program. Mannville Fire and Rescue delivered a fire prevention presentation for Fire Prevention week, which was Oct. 4 -11. Fire chief Dez Shubert, and Erin Eschak gave demonstrations on fire safety and how to take precautions to prevent fires in the home. The elementar y students helped Dez in “doning and doff-ing» firefighting gear and SCBA, and knew fire safety very well, the students also knew that smoke detectors save lives. Social Studies 7 is currently busy making SlideShare videos featuring three of Canada’s First Nations groups. In this assignment, students are split into three groups - Mi’kMaq, Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee - and are to create visual images for each sections of notes the class has taken on their assigned tribe. With a narrator, students then film the video “sliding” their images into view and “sweeping” them away when they are done. You can view the videos

on YouTube by visiting Miss Almberg’s channel MissARoyals. On Oct. 10, all BTPS staff travelled to Wainwright to celebrate the achievements of many of our colleagues. The long service awards for Mannville School this year went to Carla Cusack and Erin Eschak for five years; Kim DeFord and Marg Hatch for ten years; Susan Obrigewitch for 25 years. On Oct. 9 Mannville Junior High Volleyball held a small tournament with four teams playing in each the boys and girls pool. The boys’ teams in attendance were Mannville, Innisfree, Dewberry, and Paradise Valley. Mannville boys won all their matches except one to win the tour-

nament and receive Subway gift cards as the first place prize. The girls’ team in attendance were Mannville, Edgerton, Dewberry, and Paradise Valley. All games were very close and many matches went into a third set. Mannville girls won first place and Dewberry won second. It was a great time with lots of playing experience. Thank you so much to the parents and students who helped with the concession and officiating, and to Eric MacNeill and Stephen Baker for spending their whole evening refereeing games. ‘Heart’ with Grade sixes is one month down and students have been learning about basic kitchen terms and nutrition in the kitchen. From designing menus which included meals that contained all four

One group will be doing some more baking (fractions in the kitchen) and a special project with Mrs. Wagner, while the other group will be working with Mrs. Charron learning the sewing machine and creating their own project! Any extra fabric (preferably larger pieces) would be welcomed in the CTS lab for several upcoming projects throughout Grades five to nine!

Smithens Appreciates Vermilion’s Locally Owned Businesses Nicole Crossan Reporter

Canadian Pickers is a Cineflix-produced cable television reality series filmed in Canada, which airs on the History Channel. Scott Cozens and Sheldon Smithens travel across Canada looking for items in basements, garages, attics, sheds, barns, warehouses, storage units, flea markets, yard sales, and antique shops. Scott Cozens was an electrician who became an attorney in Calgary while Sheldon Smithens comes by antique dealing modestly being the third generation in his family to become an antiques dealer. Smithens gives credit to his mother for enabling him to turn his pastime into a

career. Smithens said careful records are essential to buying and selling antiques and his mother kept records so well that when she was told that she needed to find the documentation on an item purchased seven years prior, she was able to do so within a short period of time even though she used the paper method. His parents started one of their antiques buying and selling businesses in 1961. “There is no substitute for being prepared,” Smithens told visitors to the CN Station on October 18. Smithens said buying and selling antiques can be difficult, fortunately Smithens was prepared with a background in both buying and selling items,

which continues to give him a leg up in the marketplace. Smithens grew up in a home full of antiques and his father loved art and carnival glass items. One of his beginning gigs with Canadian Pickers landed him in Wetaskiwin where he met the founder of the ReynoldsAlberta Museum, Stan Reynolds, shortly before he passed away. Small antiques shops and locally-owned shops are “going the way of the dodo bird” Smithens explained from his experience traveling. “Vermilion is special because it still has a lot of locally owned businesses. Some of them have been here for a long time like Long’s and Craig’s.”

Fort Street is a location that once had 30 antiques shops and now has only ten. Photo Nicole Crossan.

Benoit Highlights Tribute To WWII Veterans Leon Benoit Submitted

As part of the national events planned to recognize the 75th Anniversary of the Second World War, Leon Benoit, M e m b er of Par li a m e nt for Ve g re ville Wainwright wants to highlight the Government’s initiative to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Canada’s engagement in World War Two. “As a part of a national tribute, our Government will be honouring living Canadian veterans of World War II through a limited edition commemorative lapel pin and a certificate of recognition,” explained Benoit. With an estimated 80,0 0 0 W WII veterans currently eligible for the tribute, Members of Parliament have been asked to help in the process of ensuring as many as possible are included. “All Royal Canadian Legions in VegrevilleWainwright have been contacted, but

I urge anyone who knows of a WWII veteran to help by ensuring they fill out and submit the application form which is available on my website (www.leonbenoit.ca),” said Benoit. Benoit also noted that any questions or concerns regarding the application or the program can be directed to either his constituency office (780) 763-6130 or his Ottawa office, (613) 992-4171. “A third party, such as a family member, can fill out the form on a veteran’s behalf,” clarified Benoit. If possible, Benoit would like to receive the completed forms by October 24th, 2014. “However, if this is not possible, please contact my office.” “Nothing can ever adequately thank them for their service to this country, but I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to honour these veterans,” concluded Benoit. More information on the program can be found at www.veterans.gc.ca.

Canada’s First National Internment Operations Nicole Crossan Reporter

Eight thousand Ukrainians were sent to one of the 24 internment camps across Canada from 1914, when the War Measures Act was instituted, to 1920 when the prisoners were released. There were people from many different nationalities kept in these camps including: German, Chinese and Japanese immigrants to Canada. The conditions were horrendous as Nick Olinyk wrote to his wife, “The conditions here are very poor, so that we cannot go on much longer, we are not get ting e n o u g h t o e a t- w e are hungry as dogs.” This time was not only difficult for the internees, but also for their families as often the men were sent to internment camps while their wives and children were left to fend for themselves

while they were away. The racism and poor conditions experienced by their families were described in 1916 by one daughter who wrote to her father, who was being kept in the Spirit Lake internment camp, “We haven’t nothing to eat and they do not want to give us no wood. My mother has to go four times to get something to eat. It is cold…Come home right away.” The memory lives on, although mostly

in the descendants of those who were kept in these camps. To show sympathy and regret, a plaque commemorating the prisoners of Canada’s First International Internment Operations was unveiled

at St. Olga’s Church in Vermilion this summer. This was followed up with a certificate and a formal apology on behalf of the Canadian government representative Leon Benoit, MP on October 19.

Ask the home inspector:

TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE:

I HAVE HAD A WOOD STOVE FOR TWENTY YEARS IN MY OLD HOME. I RECENTLY MOVED AND THE NEW HOME HAS A WOOD STOVE AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE TYPE OF CHIMNEY AND HOW IT IS INSTALLED. HOW CAN I DETERMINE IF THE CHIMNEY IS RATED FOR A WOOD STOVE?

The best way to tell if the chimney is the right type is to look for a label. Usually the installer will buy a package with the stove and matching chimney. The stove label may state which chimney is recommend but not always. The chimney for a wood stove must be rated to 650 degrees C or 2100 degrees F. The label on the chimney should say it is certified and complies with the S629 standard within the B365 of the building code. More often than not the label is missing or not open where you can see it. Another approach is to try to see how thick the insulation is between the two layers of the chimney. Most wood stove chimneys will have 2” of insulation. There are a couple exceptions but if the chimney only has 1” of insulation it is most likely only rated to 1700 degrees and only acceptable for use on a wood fireplace. As an installer I generally can tell by looking at the chimney if it is safe for use on a wood stove or not. I recommend having the entire setup inspected for your safety. WWW.BORDERHI.COM/POSTS

VES Learns About Power And Gas Safety

Karen King, Vermilion Elementary School Submitted October 10 was the day that all BTPS employees met to celebrate successes within our division. In VES, the following staff were recognized: Mrs. Zaharko (five years), Mrs. Fuller (ten years), Mrs. Doherty (15 years), Mrs. Joa (20 years), and Mrs. Cameron (30 years). Congratulations to those ladies. The ATCO Energy Theatre put on a free, exciting, and educational presentation for our school on Oct. 14 from 9-10. Safety is their number one priority and so they developed a program called ‘POWER TEAM: Origin of Power Woman’. It was a very informative presentation, with clever dialogue, catchy songs and a variety of characters. It delivered information and key concepts regarding the nature, generation and distribution of electricity, the formation and distribution of natural gas and safety rules and hazards related to these forms of energy. For more information, you can go to www. atcoenergytheatre.com The cross-country running team had a fantastic season. 12 athletes trained hard this year, and we appreciate their efforts. As a team, they were awarded many ribbons

this month, and even more personal best times. They are already looking forward to next year’s season. Way to run Kaymin, Britney, Eli, Ty, Kenzie, Jayden, Caleb, ZiQi, Kora, Avary, Clay and Alex. We appreciate Mrs. McCullough and Mrs. Joa for their time in training the teams. Grade 6 Handbells have started practicing on Wednesdays after school. Mrs. Bauer took on 14 players to meet student interests, which is a larger number than ever before. They are doing very well working together sharing their bells. We appreciate the parents for their support. Accelerated Reading began near the beginning of September. The students from Grades 2-6 made their September goals and are currently working on their October goals. Check with your children to see how many points they have received and what level books they are reading. The website is https://hosted70.renlearn.com/743515/ and there is also a link on the school website (ves.btps.ca with no www). The best site to check and see if books are a part of the Accelerated Reading program is arbookfind.com/default.aspx and there is a link on our website for this site as well. Quizzing can be done at home or at school. AR quizzing is available daily from 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. If you have any questions about this program, please do not hesitate to speak

“Live each day to the fullest. Get the most from each hour, each day and each age of your life. Then you can look forward with confidence and back without any regrets”. This is the beginning of my favorite poem, it is much longer but I think it says almost everything. Alberta Cultural Days in Vermilion was deemed a success although the weather could have been more cooperative. The seniors have to be proud of their Centre as it now has an impressive mural on its’ wall, the seniors donated the use of the facilities for the official unveiling of the mural. Thanks to Marion Mayowski for baking and decorating the cakes used for dessert

after eating the “beef on a bun” lunch. The left over cake was donated to the lunch program at the schools. Judy Woyewitka, Dianne Dunn and Donna Bodurka were kept busy providing hot dogs and dixie cups for around 125 people on Sunday after the parade. Our senior ladies choir did a great job at the variety show at College on Saturday. Last Thursday evening the Seniors Centre had a break-and-enter. This was a very unfortunate incident that had not been anticipated. This is a reminder for everyone to be vigilant in watching for unusual activities and/or people in their surroundings. Five ladies volunteered to do fall flower c lean up in the front of the Seniors Centre on October 3., Ger t Isert, Elsie Quickstad, Dorothy Zayac,

Carol Row and Sylvia Preteau. Last May at the St. Paul Militar y Whist Tournament, Doreen McIntyre, Gert Isert, Jean Morrison and Sylvia Preteau took 3rd Prize. In July at the Mini Games in Bonnyville, we had the following winners: Contract Bridge – Jim Dr ysdale and David Clen nett- Silver; Military Whist – Doreen McIntyre,. Jean Morrison, Gert Isert and Lil Sweet. - Silver. At the Mini Games they said “pickleball” is the new up and coming game??? Anyone familiar with this g ame? All these activities were hosted by the Alberta 55+. We have some ladies looking for people to play bridge and euchre. They are willing to teach newcomers the game. At our Crib Doubles held on October 9th, ll tables competed with the

winners being: lst – Peter Booy and Joe LaBoucane, 2nd – Margaret Bardoel and Carol Deford, 3rd – Carol and Julian Kerekanic h. The 50/50 was won by Frank & Mildred Moleneux.

Grappling Gets Students Out Of A Bind

Nicole Crossan Reporter

“I can see you acquiring the fluency of grappling...Before you can fight, you have to learn how to move,” Alan Orr from Victoria, B.C. explained to students at the special Brazilian Jiu Jitsu event on October 18. Orr is a shodan, first degree black belt, in Japanese Jiu Jitsu and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He trained under Sensei Ari Knazan of Victoria, B.C. who is a 4th degree black belt in Japanese Jiu Jitsu and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. “ The dif ference between the two st yles,” Orr explained, “ is that the Japanese style is 100 per cent selfdefense and is an older style that was later imported to Brazil, hence Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is also used for self-defense training

but can also be used to train for sport mar tial ar ts. In the older Japanese style, there are no competitions.” Orr came to Vermilion as a friend of the Nor-Alta Jiu Jitsu Sensei Dave Woods. They met through the Canadian Jiu Jitsu Union which has a retreat twice a year-once in August at Sicamous, B.C. and once in February at Hope, B.C. Student go there to meet people from others schools and share moves. Orr specializes in grappling, which was something students in the Vermilion school benefitted from learning. “Grappling knowledge really improves one’s skill, but is of ten a neglected part of training. Lying down is a dangerous place to be in a fight, but it’s easy to wind up there by accid e n t . S t u d e n t s n e e d t o k n ow t h e basics of how to get out once they get there,” Orr explained.

Myrnam Residents Thankful For Updated Elks Park The Myrnam Elks Park is used by many of the children in Myrnam which has been in need of an upgrade for quite some time. Thanks to the Royal Purple who purchased the equipment with fundraising money, Myrnam Elks, the Village of Myrnam and various other donation sources, the playground now has three new pieces of equipment, a slide and two climbing apparatus. The installation was complete by the beginning of October but there is still a mountain of sand to be placed. Terry Axley, Myrnam Elks Exalted Ruler, said there are plans to update playground items that have been there for a while. Photos Nicole Crossan.

Marwayne Harvest Fair And Supper

Rebecca Oakes Submitted

The Marwayne Agricultural Society was formed in 1975. All Alberta Agricultural Societies act as a liaison between Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and their local communities. The Ag Societies apply for grants and participate in fundraising which they distribute to various local, non-profit groups. The main reason for the Ag Society is to promote improvements in agriculture, horticulture, homemaking, and the quality of life in a thriving, viable, rural community. It is required they host one annual event that accomplishes this objective and the Marwayne Agricultural Society chose the Ag Fair. This event has existed for 39 years in its various formats. The interests of the young population have changed greatly from the fair’s inception, so the Marwayne Ag Society has

changed the format of its event over the past few years to see what works best. The Harvest Fair is not a fundraiser. On certain years, it may partner with other community fundraisers to increase attendance. Any funds raised simply cover the cost of the supper and the cost of prizes for the various entries. The Ag Fair-called Harvest Fair this year–now exhibits art and photography because of the strong Art and Photography programs in Marwayne Jubilee School. There is great local talent, the displays are of a high enough quality to purchase. In years past, entertainers have come in for the youth, and there have always been a variety of homemaking and horticulture entries for judging. On October 19 this year, we are doing something completely different. We are going back to a traditional format that includes judging, but it is more of a people’s choice award with taste testing on site!

We have narrowed the categories to include: Pickles: Sliced/Bread and Butter, Dills and Other (beets, carrots, mustard, etc.); Jams: Strawberry, Raspberry, and Other (Jellies, James, etc.); Wine Homemade: Red or White; and Salsa. Special thanks go to the Ag Fair Committee, whose chair person is Elaine Kent. Marwayne Fall Supper The fall supper started with the Order of the Royal Purple, a group that formed in Marwayne in 1952. The Marwayne Community Hall Board took over the supper when the Royal Purple dissolved. While fall suppers are fundraisers for communities, they serve more importantly as community events where young and old, local and non-locals congregate to visit, celebrate the end of harvest, and catch up with old and new friends. The fall supper is at least 62 years old; however, in talking to some seniors in Marwayne, they also indicated that the

United Church hosted the supper before the Royal Purple, so it could be older. Since the Community Hall board took over the fall supper, the funds go directly to the Hall Board to cover operating costs. The fall supper is simply a way to host visitors and locals and showcase your community’s hospitality. Special thanks go to the Community Hall Board chairperson Jeannine Kent.

Marwayne Playschool Pumpkin Patch Crystal Dodds Submitted

Marwayne Li’l Critters Playschool Society hosted their annual Pumpkin Patch Fundraiser Thursday, October 9th. The turnout was great even though the weather turned cloudy and cold just as the patch was opening for business. Children, as well as the young at heart came to choose their perfect pumpkin, sample some Halloween themed baking, and try their luck at the candy corn guessing game. Custom painted pumpkins in gold, silver and black were a big hit. There was also a draw for three very cute sets of pumpkin and Fran-

kenstein decorations. Winners of the candy corn guess were Jackson Boyd and Jenessa. Winners of the raffle were 1st prize Terri Holman, 2nd prize Hudson Wood, and 3rd prize Courtney Centazzo. The playschool Board thanks everyone for their generous support and for making the Pumpkin Patch a fun community event. Special thanks to their sponsors: Safeway, Superstore, River Hill Enterprises, Sobey’s, Ultimate Arc, Walmart, Lloydminster Co-op, Home Hardware Building Center and Tannas Bros Hardware in Marwayne. Also thanks to the Marwayne Car Wash for offering their space.
