Angela Mouly Reporter

The Cornerstone Co-op is thrilled to be opening their new Pharmacy in Vermilion sometime this week. The Cornerstone Co-op hosted a Chamber Mixer at their Administration Building in Vermilion on November 13, with guests getting a sneak peek of the pharmacy. Operations Manager, Kory Kralkay said, “The Co-op is getting into a new commodity. Our soft opening will occur this week after inspections from the College of Pharmacists, and we plan to host a Grand Opening on November 29.” Staff members feel the main difference of the Cornerstone Co-op Pharmacy will be their active living section, where customers will have the opportunity, space and privacy for fittings of stockings, braces, etc. with a consul-

tant. They also plan to be open seven d ays p e r we e k , o f fe r i n g m o b i l i t y, home comfort, braces and supports, compression stockings, and full pharmacy needs “This will be a great service for our seniors, and being open seven days per week is huge,” said Mayor Caroline McAuley. Finalizing their finishing touches, Pharmacy Manager, Kim Clarke said, “I’m looking for ward to ser ving the community.” According to Kralkay, the building was built at the same time as the new food store in 2015, and after a couple of slower economy years with no one filling their lease spaces they have opted to use two thirds of it for the pharmacy. One third will remain available for lease. People interested in tenancy of the 1,800 square feet remaining can call 780-853-6732 and ask for Kory. Co-op Pharmacy located at 5008B-51 Avenue in Vermilion.

Obituary

TROESCHER, Doris Lillian (nee: Strocher) September 30, 1934 - October 21, 2018

Doris Troescher passed away on October 21, 2018 at the age of 84. Her husband of 63 years, Ernest, her daughters Cindy Richardson and Lindy Lambeth (Randy), grandchildren, brothers Steve (Jean), George (Val), and sister June, numerous nieces and nephews and many, many more are devastated by the loss. She is predeceased by her sisters Ruth and Lyla. Born in Clive, Doris lived in Warburg and spent her formative years in Vermilion before moving to Edmonton and then Swan Hills before returning to settle in Edmonton. She considered Vermilion her home and spoke fondly of the town and people all her life. It seems fitting that her last public appearance was in Vermilion in late July for a family reunion. After her professional career, Doris chose to spend her retirement 'Feeding the People'. She worked at the food depot at the Mustard Seed for 8 years and volunteered for over 300 hours with Meals on Wheels. A huge thank you to those on 9Y at the Edmonton General. Please join us for a Celebration of Life for this wonderful woman at 2:00 p.m. on November 24, 2018 at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex, 9615 - 153 Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Mustard Seed or Meals on Wheels in her name.

On November 14, North Central Livestock held a Calves for Cancer auction with great success and 100 per cent of the proceeds from the auction went to the Cross Cancer Institute. This year the Cross Cancer Institute is celebrating 50 years in existence. The centre sees over 500 patients every day for consultations, diagnosis and treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The institute is also recognized as a world-class research facility and has over 600 patients enrolled in one of over 100 clinical trials with access to the newest drugs and cancer therapies. In recognition of the institutes 50 years of operation and as part of the year long Show the Love Initiative, 840CFCW began an initiative called Calves for Cancer to help raise funds. “This was a CFCW initiative with BLCOKFC and Northlands as sponsors of the event. Our goal was to get 50 calves donated for the 50 years of the Cross, but we ended up with over 70 cattle producers donating throughout north/central Alberta,” said Jackie Rae Greening, Manager of Operations CFCW and New Country 98.1 Program Director. The Calves for Cancer auction held at North Central Livestock in Vermilion was a success with five calves on auction. One of the calves bought and donated back to sell again in memory of Frank Sloan and Murray Westman. The heifer calf weighing in at 550lb donated by Triefen Pesaruk was purchased by Labreque Ranching & AKS Ranch for $2.21/lb totalling $1215.50 who donated the calf back and was later purchased by Mitchell Farms for $2.12/lb for a total of $1166.00. Emil & Michelle Palsitt also donated one heifer weighing in at 652 lbs that was bought by Lonesome Pine Cattle

Hearts And Hands Fundraising Plans

Reporter

Currently, the Hear ts and Hands service is planning a new way to fundraise and is asking local businesses to lend a helping hand. Still in the planning stage Hearts and Hands is hoping to be able to set up an annual fundraising event(s) to be held in February each year as that is the month the service began back in 2016. “ We are hoping that in February we can get a business or businesses to hold a fundraising event; whether they carry donation boxes or hold an event to help raise funds for Hearts and Hands service similar to the event that is happening this week,” said Thomas. Thomas went on to say that “Striker Lanes is holding a fundraising bowling event on November 25th where if you bring in a food or cash donation for Hearts and Hands they will receive a free game of bowling. We are not asking businesses to donate funds, but to help us come up with ideas on fundraising the same as Striker Lanes is doing the bowling event.” Hearts and Hands have become a

vital service for many people in the community as well as area communities with 105 deliveries made since its inception on February 14, 2016. Cash or gift card donations can be dropped off at Fantasy Flowers. “We have helped people with diabetes, celiac disease, severe allergies and families who are just struggling to make ends meet, as well as, victims affected by fire, domestic violence, job loss, medical issues, death, etc.,” said Thomas. The Hear ts and Hands ser vice receives referrals from multiple organizations and also takes self-referrals as well as referrals from family and friends of people in need. “ We have received referrals from V i c t i m S er v i c e s, t h e H e a l t h U n i t , schools, Mental Health, Alberta Works and the Food Bank. If we are unable to help we try our best to refer them to an agency that can help. We are not a food bank but an emergency service,” explained Thomas. “We do not consider what we do as a handout but a hand up.

Unfortunately, we have to restrict help from Hearts and Hands as a one-time gift and can’t do repeated gifts, unless significant need is noted. We do not provide gift cards to recipients and do not help pay past due bills or rent; it just is not feasible to do so,” said Thomas. Each delivery the Hearts and Hands service distributes can include a cookbook to help show people cooking ideas, education and shopping hints. They also provide when available a variety of items such as flour, rice, sugar, oatmeal, pasta, cereal, powdered milk, peanut butter, soup, and baked beans. Other items include school lunch items, dairy products, bread, meat, produce, household and personal items as well as baby items. The Hearts and Hands service prides itself on it’s privacy policy. “All personal information is held in the strictest of confidence and delivery is available for the families convenience, but also to help protect their privacy. We can’t have people stop by to pick up the items we can provide it is strictly done on an at home delivery basis and

our delivery staff members pride themselves on their discreetness and hold all information they obtain in the strictest of confidence. Questions we ask are a name, phone number and age of people requiring help, an address to where the delivery needs to be dropped off, and whether they have allergies or certain likes and dislikes. We do not ask specific questions about their circumstances. We want to make the process as simple and as easy as possible for them. We do not pass judgment on anyone; everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. If you or someone you know may need assistance you can contact 780-581-0521 and leave a message with your first name, and we will return your call,” added Thomas. The Hearts and Hands service would like to say thank you to anyone who has helped them thus far and is looking forward to working with the businesses in the community.

Dear Editor, November is hunting month. To hunt for that prize deer, or if you were lucky enough to be in the draw in June, you may have a moose or elk tag. Hunting is a privilege, you should have a PAL or FAC license to carry and shoot your weapon. All hunters should take the online hunter training. A good time to get your families or buddies involved. Hunting season helps reduce overpopulation of deer, moose, and elk. Our zone is 236. It is from Highway 17 to 41, and from highway 16 to 14; quite a large area. Our area allows elk hunting until January. You don’t need a transport of weapon permit for rifles. But...if you are caught on the road with your rifle out the window of your vehicle, you could be charged by police. November can be the worst month of the year for landowners, due to the actions of irresponsible and disrespectable hunters. There are specific rules to be followed. Ask for permission if you want to hunt on a farmer’s land. Neighbours know each

Landowner vs. Hunter

other, so ask. (You need to know that permission granted five years ago or even one year ago, does not apply to the present year.) Ask before you proceed onto any land without permission, or you can be charged with trespassing. Watch for ‘No Hunting’ or ‘Private Property’ signs. There is usually a reason the land is posted. Bullets travel a long distance. In my area alone, buildings have been hit by bullets. Landowners and hunters need to work together. Many people enjoy the sport of hunting, and in this we help control the population of wildlife. Understanding this is a big step. Deer, moose, and elk are pretty easy to spot. Hunters need to determine exactly what animal they are aiming at before pulling the trigger. Right? Makes me wonder “why” you shot my Palamino horse? A big beautiful blonde gelding, with a heart of gold, and a soul to match. A part of our family that everyone loved. He was a gentle giant, a favourite of both adults and children. Rest in peace big guy. Shot down in your own pasture.

The Vermilion Voice | November 20, 2018

A kill shot, they call it. Obvious entry and exit wounds from a bullet. A planned, fairly close shot. I hope he didn’t suffer. But you, the irresponsible hunter. I hope you rot in Hell! Did you ever check to see what you shot? Did you let the landowner know that you had shot his/her horse? No! Did you feel any remorse for what had been done? Eight other horses and donkeys stood nearby concerned about their pasture mate. Did that bother you? You were hunting on land without permission, which was posted with ‘No Hunting’ and ‘Private Property’ signs. Did that stop you? No – you just drove away while my big beautiful Palamino horse lay there dying. You give all hunters a bad name! Did you laugh? Make a joke about being a good shot? Your actions sicken me. No remorse shown. My horse was grazing in his pasture, now gone! Hunters please be responsible. I would hate for any other family to have to go through what we are. Our land is posted with ‘No Hunting’ signs and hunting is not permitted because

of our horses. But that didn’t stop you, and it didn’t protect our horses! Our horses are our family. You killed one of us this month. I wonder how you would feel if our roles were reversed? Please be responsible. Marilyn Everest, Concerned Livestock Owner

Even though it is still technically fall, our Canadian winter weather is upon us. Turning on the oven for a little baking, is always a great way to cozy up the house and have something healthy and homemade to eat. I am just starting a new batch of sourdough starter. It is what is needed for authentic sourdough bread. Unfortunately the sourdough bread that can be purchased commercially is not using the real sour dough process, but is made using regular single cell yeast which I will talk about the disadvantages of, in my next article, along with the recipe for turning the starter into amazing bread. Sourdough is the way bread has been made for thousands of years, and goes back to bible times, before the introduction of modern single cell yeast during the industrial revolution. There are many pluses to true sourdough; including it does not raise blood sugar as much as white bread in generally speaking, depending on the gut micro biome. In fact, studies from the Universit y of Guelph show that naturally fermented sour dough bread balances blood sugar so well that it even keeps

H ave y o u e ve r wondered why one thing manages to stick around to be used and appreciated over time and another similar thing existing in a similar situation or fashion doesn’t? I get those thoughts every time I come back to Vermilion at fair time, especially for the parade. Walking down Main Street looking at the old brick S.R.P. Cooper School remaining as the community’s museum and the spot where the Morrison school used to be beside it a grassy lot other than the community oven, having once sat in the classrooms of both staring out the windows daydreaming of being outside for recess rather than paying attention. Then subsequently sitting there in a lawn chair watching the vehicles and tractors go by, many older than I am, looking like the first day they came out of the factory, when a short drive into the countryside that same day can witness similar objects as lonely abandoned sentinels, long since separated from their active capacity, overcome and overgrown with grass, brush, and rust. Whether it’s individual or group foresight, simply providence, or nothing new coming

Sour Dough

your blood sugar in check following you second meal, af ter consuming the bread. So if you have sour dough toast for breakfast, your blood sugar will be in check after lunch, even without the bread. In the process of making sourdough bread, the natural and wild yeast predigest the gluten, producing bread that is easier to digest without the problems of the stronger modern day gluten to the digestive system. Sour dough is different than regular bread in that it does not use commercial yeast, has a distinctive flavor and it has a longer rising time. The starter is made using only flour and water, left on the counter for the beneficial bacteria, lactobacilli and wild yeast to grow. It is a miracle that happens out of thin air. It is then fed twice a day and kept warm. For one week it will be your baby. It’s a baby that doesn’t cry, but it will die if you forget to feed it. Once the starter is made, you can easily turn it into delicious homemade sour dough bread. The bread is made with only 3 ingredients, flour water and salt. There are zero food additives. In fact, in the fermenting process while the bread is rising, an all natural food preservative develops. It is called lactic acid, and it lowers the ph to prevent the bread from molding. The fermentation process also makes the nutrients in the

flour more bio-available. This bread is wonderful hot, out of the oven spread with melting butter or toasted. You do not need to make a fresh starter every time. Once the starter is strong enough to make bread it can be kept in the refrigerator and fed once a week, always keeping some back for your next easy loaf of fresh bread. When storing the starter in the refrigerator, always give it a feed and let it eat in the warmth for a few hours before putting it back in the fridge. For success in making this starter you must use bottled water that has no chlorine, as chlorine kills the beneficial bacteria that are trying to get established in pre digesting the gluten in the flour. You cannot use city or town tap water. I have had no luck making the starter with Robin Hood white or unbleached flour, but I have persevered and tried an organic unbleached flour and had stellar results. Here is how to get started. Sour Dough Bread Starter 1/2 cup unbleached organic flour 1/2 cup non chlorinated water (not tap water) Combine the ingredients in a sterilized quart jar, (such as just out of the dishwasher) and allow it to sit on your counter, for two days, covered loosely with a piece of plastic wrap. You should

Taking Care Of Things

along worthy of taking a things place…it is often interesting why in the passage of the 50 years since I’ve been around why one thing survives and another doesn’t. It might be my interaction with my kids the last while that has brought this to the surface, as they have become old enough to show interest more in some of the things in my meagre list of early possessions that managed to survive for them to experience. Maybe it is the fact that some of the things that did actually survive were closely, perhaps even lovingly, looked after (because you didn’t get a lot of things to begin with) and the appearance seemingly that kids now don’t nearly seem to be influenced (forced?) towards that similar sense of appreciation. Makes me worry a little bit about the next generation acquiring a sense of preserving things, whether big and small, for the following ones. It’s not like the current throwaway culture helps reinforce that tendency in any way either. There was still much Depression era life experience around from my parents and grandparents growing up, so their influence was felt in a lot of ways on that front. Contrast that to now when you are weekly cleaning a kid’s room out buried knee deep in cheap and easily replaceable toys, books, and stuffies, you really wonder whether the treasuring of something, anything, is being acquired

anywhere. We are all each a product of our time I suppose...if you lost or broke something in “my time” you found out rapidly you were doing without after all the crying. That kind of lent itself towards being rather protective. Certainly if my kids dig out to play my old ‘CB Radio’ board game from the 70’s about truckers, Smokies, Bears-inthe-Air and saying things like “10-4, Good Buddy!”…are they learning to value cheap cardboard games that got looked after all this time just so they can indirectly experience the fun of something they won’t ever have the same context with. Perhaps, but not very likely but maybe it is the thought that actually counts. For one thing, not many CB radios are left around working for them to use or talk to anyone on, whereas some of mornings their age before school were spent with a handset and the handle ‘Kule Vue Kid’, practicing radio slang with ‘Yellow Bird”, the school bus driver parked up the road, before heading off to school. I supposed learning to value something later on is all about living and enjoying something as you grow in context with it in the time it was used…the CB radios and a “CB Radio” game for instance. Whether it’s old cars, tractors, or schools, those family heirlooms or treasured possessions passed down here or there…hopefully enough of those always get saved, with someone

start to see action by the second day with some bubbles forming. To this jar add another 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup warm water and stir. The water should be the temperature of a baby bottle on your wrist, if it is too hot it will kill the natural fermentation and if it is too cold it will be harder for the starter to ferment. Cover the flour jar mixture loosely with the plastic wrap and put it in the oven with the oven light on to keep it warm. You must feed it morning and night in the same way for 5 – 7 days. You should see some bubbling actively. When the jar is over 2/3 full then dump out some so that only a half full of a jar remains, and then add your flour and warm water. If a thin liquid layer of water forms, then cut back the water by about 1 or 2 tablespoons in the upcoming feed, and keep the flour amount 1/2 cup, this is because, if the volume of the starter gets larger and larger it will require more and more food, and will not be able to last the half day, until it is fed again. After 5 – 7 days test to see if the starter is ready to bake some bread with. To do this drop a small amount in a glass of water i hour before a feeding. If the flour mixture floats, the starter is ready to use, if it skinks, it will not work. Next week I will share my recipe that turns this starter in to a loaf of fresh sour dough bread.

left to give context to them, that we always have a path from where we were to where we are now. Maybe I should write the next column on an old manual typewriter, liked one I learned on, and make my kids watch it just for the sake of it. Might make them appreciate their tablets a little more.

Vermilion Folk Club Hosts Michelle Rumball

Reporter

T h e Ve r m i l i o n F o l k C l u b w a s delighted to host Michelle Rumball ac companied by Ben Sures at the Vermilion Legion on November 17. From S c ar borough, O ntario, Rumball enjoyed her opportunity to ride the train from Toronto to Alberta as an opportunity to see more of Canada. Playing alternative, North Americana, folk, and roots music, she said that previously spending a couple of years living in New Orlean’s has influenced

her music. “It leaves an impression on you, and infused my musical direction,” said Rumball. She has been per forming for 30 years, and was part of the ‘Grievous Angels’ band. Her favourite par t of performing is building a relationship with the audience. “I’m a maker and chaser of songs; I love having the opportunity to play really great songs,” said Rumball. Sharing her skill set in Vermilion, Rumball played a selection of original

and cover songs. She’s been having a ball touring her brand new album, ‘Years Behind.’ “I love travelling and am thrilled to be here in Vermilion. Thank you for the pot luck dinner; I felt very welcomed,” said Rumball. Rumball added that it was a pleasure to be asked to play here, and that it encouraged her to get busy finishing her recent record. She also noted her love for the mountains, and had even written songs about past trips to Alberta.

From Edmonton, Sures has been playing with Rumball on and off for the past 10 years. “We have an intuitive musical relationship. I like to support the people that I accompany,” said Sures. “She’s one of the extremely great voices in Canadian folk music; she’s got a great set of pipes,” said Rod MacMillan. People tapped along to groovy roots songs and her lofty, full voice filled the Legion effortlessly, and Rumball played and sang relatable, honest lyrics.

Mary Anne Machin – Retirement

Reporter

Western Financial in Vermilion hosted a Retirement Party for Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker (C.A.I.B.), Mary Anne Machin on November 16. Machin has been working in insurance for the past 39 years, and enjoyed the afternoon of visiting with long-time customers and past coworkers. “I’m trying not to feel sad because I am quite excited about the next step,” said

Machin. Machin started her career in insurance with MacMillan Brimacombe in 1979, continued with Landmark Insurance Ltd. In 1982, and then Clarke Insurance Services Ltd. in 1988. She became licenced for general insurance in 1982, and received her C.A.I.B. designation in 1992.

Machin also reminisced over photos of several work and community engagement events. A scrapbook from fellow staff included kind words saying, “She’s like the ‘mom’ to the office, always doing little extras; she’s always smiling, helpful, hardworking, cheerful, courteous, and polite; such

a wonderful person full of fun and laughter; a real treat and such a caregiver who embraces life, very professional in her position, a great mentor to have; always makes you feel warm inside, very knowledgeable and always goes the extra length for her clients; spunky, feisty and full of fun; supportive and reliable; full of inner strength.” “We were always like a family in here,” said Machin in response of her coworkers at Western Financial.

Four Tips For Getting The Most Out Of Black Friday Deals

This year on November 23, you’ll be able to take advantage of the best bargains of the year. Here are a few tips to help you make the most out of the countless Black Friday sales in town. 1. Make a list of the items you want. To avoid impulse buys, prepare a list of the things you’re looking for — don’t forget all those Christmas presents you’ll need to buy! — along with the total amount that you’re willing to spend. When the day rolls around, make sure to keep this list with you while shopping. 2. Compare available prices. In the days leading up to Black Friday, take the time to check the prices listed on flyers and websites for the products you want to buy. Do the prices differ from one store to another? Are some items cheaper to order online? To find

the best deals, use a price comparison tool, like Google Shopping or Shopbot. 3. Check exchange and refund policies. Before making any purchases, find out if the stores you’ll be buying from will accept returns or make refunds on merchandise sold on Black Friday. If all sales on the day are final, then no exchanges or refunds will be possible. 4. Find out about what kinds of warranties are offered. It’s useful to know what kinds of warranties are offered, especially when it comes to expensive products like computers. If you believe you’ll need to get an extended warranty, check first if your credit card will automatically offer you some protection if the purchase is Photo submitted charged to your account.

Show your solidarity this Movember The Movember Foundation’s aim is to raise global awareness of men’s health issues every year during the month of Movember (previously known as November). So, all you men out there, will you dare to show your solidarity with the cause by growing a moustache?

PHOTO: JUPITERIMAGES / THINKSTOCK

THE FOUNDATION Active in more than 20 countries around the world, the Movember Foundation raises funds for several organizations dedicated to improving men’s health. This movement targets five types of programs:

Use social media as much as possible to recruit lots of generous donors. It’s also a great idea to publish a selfie every week showing the progress of your manly hairiness.

1. Men’s health 2. Prostate cancer 3. Testicular cancer 4. Mental health 5. Global collaboration

HOW TO GET INVOLVED? To become an active participant in the Movember movement, start the month of November clean shaven and then grow a moustache for the next 30 days. Warning: unlike those straggly beards guys get away with during the hockey playoffs, Movember moustaches should be groomed to perfection. The reward? Your facial hair will allow you to raise money for the foundation through the support of your colleagues, friends and family. For more information about the Canadian branch of the Movember Foundation, visit their website at ca.movember.com.

Bull Market Straw-Grain Ration And The Cost Versus Benefit Of Various Supplements

Determining the number of animals that can be fed over the winter is part of the decision making process.” Once the basics of how many animals can be fed are established, the next step is to determine what type of supplements or mineral product is needed. “It is often a point of consternation when choosing what to use because each company ‘has the best’ product to use. Convenience, effectiveness of the product and cost are things to consider before making the purchase,” he adds. When considering a straw- grain ration for pregnant cows, Yaremcio says some nutritional concerns need to be addressed. Straw-grain ration Straw typically is high in fibre, but low in energy, protein, calcium and magnesium. “Straw should not be fed at levels more than 1.5 per cent of body weight,” explains Yaremcio. “To be safe, and depending on the type and age of the straw, intakes could be only 1.25 per cent of body weight. Using a 1,400 lb. animal, straw intake can be anywhere from 17 to 21 lb. per day on a dry basis. This example may be applicable for many opera-

tions this winter that are feeding pregnant cows. Along with the straw, roughly 10 lb. of barley or 11 lb. of oats needs to be included to meet energy requirements.” Protein requirements “The above mentioned straw-grain ration supplies roughly 6.5 per cent protein on a dry basis,” he says. “A cow in mid-pregnancy requires seven per cent and late pregnancy protein requirements increase to nine per cent to reflect the larger needs of the growing calf, to produce colostrum, and to prepare for calving and milk production.” Producers have several options to increase protein content in the ration. “Adding two lb. of peas in mid-pregnancy and five lb. in late pregnancy will meet protein requirements,” explains Yaremcio. “One lb. of canola meal in mid-pregnancy and three lb. in late pregnancy will also work. Cost per bushel of peas is 10.3 cents per pound, and canola meal 14.2 cents per pound. A 32 per cent supplement is designed to be fed at one lb. per head per day and is roughly 25 cents per lb. One pound per of 32 per cent is not adequate to meet protein requirements for a late pregnancy cow, so a combination of supplement and peas or canola meal will be required.” Continued on page 15

www.biggullyfarm.com Continued from page 14 Yaremcio says to calculate the cost per pound of protein supplied to minimize cost. “For example, peas contain 24 per cent protein, which supplies 240 kg, or 528 lb. of protein from a tonne of peas. At a price of $235 per tonne, the cost of this protein is $1.08 per kg or 44 cents per pound. Canola meal contains 38 per cent protein, which supplies 380 kg, or 837 lb., of protein per tonne. At a price of $315 per tonne, the cost of this protein is $0.91 per kg, or 37 cents per pound. Use this technique to minimize protein costs in the ration.” Macro minerals, trace minerals and vitamins To calculate the amount of macro minerals, trace minerals and vitamins supplied by a product, Yaremcio says to consider two factors. “First, consider the expected intake of the mineral or supplement that is listed on the tag or label. Second, know the concentration of the nutrient being evaluated.” The nutrient concentrations on the tag or label are listed as a percentage for the macro minerals - calcium, phosphorus, salt, magnesium and potassium. The trace minerals -

Lance & Shari Leachman C:(306)903-7299 E-mail: biggullyfarm@gmail.com copper, manganese, zinc, selenium, iodine and cobalt – are listed as mg per kg. Vitamins – A, D and E – are listed as international units (IU) per kg. “For the macro minerals,” he says, “Multiply the inclusion rate of the product in grams by the concentration of the nutrient. For example, if the product is fed at 100 grams per day and contains 16 per cent calcium, multiply 100 grams by 0.16 to determine that the product will supply 16 grams of calcium. For the straw grain ration mentioned above, a high calcium product such as a 24:3 mineral, or even limestone is needed. A 1:1 and 2:1 mineral is not adequate to meet animals’ requirements.” Yaremcio says for the trace minerals and vitamins, multiply the inclusion rate of the product in kg by the concentration of the nutrient. “For example, if the same product is fed at 100 g and the copper has a concentration of 3000 mg per kg, multiply by the intake in kg (100 g = 0.1 kg) by 3000 to determine the product will supply 300 mg of copper. For vitamins, the process is the same but values will be in IU instead of mg.” “ When comparing what mineral

to use, knowing what is needed to balance the ration and hand calculations can be time consuming,” he adds. “The use of a ration balancing program such as CowBytes can c ompute what is needed in shor t order, and the contribution of nutrients from different feeds, how to put the

blend together, and what purchased product to use is made much easier than doing it by hand.” For more information, contact the Alberta Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Lakeland To Offer American Sign Language And Deaf Culture Studies Full-Time

Lakeland College Submitted

(Edmonton, Alta.) Students will be able to enrol in Lakeland College’s American Sign Language and Deaf Culture studies on a full-time basis starting September 2019. Currently, the program is offered parttime both online and face-to-face at the Alberta School for the Deaf in Edmonton, Alta. Offering the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture studies fulltime at the Alberta School for the Deaf will provide students with numerous benefits.

“By giving our students the option to take this program full-time means they will be eligible for financial aid and awards. It also promotes language skill development at a faster pace, which may be appealing to those students who continue their studies in our sign language interpretation program,” says Janice Aughey, dean for the School of Heath, Wellness and Human Services. “We will continue to offer this program on a part-time basis, however being able to provide this full-time option is exciting for those students who want to accelerate their studies.”

17

Currently it takes students two years to complete the certificate program. Those who choose the full-time option will be able to complete the program in one year. Offered every second year, students in the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture studies program immerse themselves in Deaf Culture and the Deaf community by going beyond the classroom. They interact and engage with the Deaf community by attending different events and activities. Students are also taught by and introduced to additional members of the Deaf community. In addition to developing American

Sign Language skills, students study history, current trends and issues in the Deaf community. There are currently 39 students enrolled in the part-time certificate program. Many professionals including educational assistants, child and youth care workers and social workers take the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture studies program so they can better communicate with the people they serve. Lakeland has offered the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture studies program in Edmonton since 2005.

rable for our students. Teachers in Buffalo Trail School Division attended an ATA PD Day on November 9. To start the day, we were privileged to have Amanda Lindhout speak to us. This amazing lady is a Canadian humanitarian, public speaker and journalist. On August 23, 2008, she and a member of her entourage were kidnapped by Islamist insurgents in southern Somalia and released 15 months later on November 25, 2009. After listening to Ms. Lindhout, we spent the rest of the day in our choice of sessions. We could choose from a total of 34 different sessions ranging from substances awareness to residential school information to staff wellness to new curriculum information. The Roots of Empathy program at VES continues to be a weekly highlight for the Grade 2 classes. 2A has had three visits from baby Tenley and mom Dallis. They are enjoying observing baby Tenley as she plays with toys, reacts to their singing, and reaches new milestones. Grade 2A students have learned about her temperament and how it determines how she will react to things. They have been watching her facial expressions, body language, and sounds to learn about how she lets the people around her know what she needs. Through this experiential learning, the students are developing their social/emotional competence as well as increasing empathy. 2B was very excited to welcome Baby Bea and mom Mrs. Throndson to their classroom for the first

time this week. They are looking forward to also observing Bea as she grows and reaches new milestones. On November 15, we were privileged to have tandem and individual storytelling presentations by Doreen Vanderstoop and Mary Hays. Mary’s mom and dad both served overseas in the army medical corps during WWII. She grew up hearing their stories. Mary also collected stories from her hometown and from other veterans. Doreen’s parents grew up in Vought, The Netherlands during WWII. She tells their stories. Doreen also performed music

You can travel for business or pleasure. You will be looking for creative ways to make a little extra cash. You must be careful not to ignore the needs of the youngsters in your family.

Your emotional attitude with respect to your status and direction in society may be unrealistic. Too much work and no play will not only result in fatigue and frustration but also loneliness, too.

You will do well with clients today. Take the time to do something nice for your friends and relatives. Those you care about may oppose your ideas.

SCORPIO

False information is likely if you listen to idle chatter or gossip. Hold on; your time will come. You can make career moves that will be prosperous.

Some of that extra energy you have stored up might just be put to good use. Get out and enjoy some entertainment. Do a little investigating if there is someone at work you don't trust. Think about your budget before booking a trip. You need to be careful not to make promises that you can't fulfill. Friends from your past may come back into your life.
